> Overall, the release of the non-binary DDR5 RAM is a major milestone in the tech industry and is expected to have a significant impact on the way that devices are designed and used. It is likely that we will see a wide range of devices adopting the new memory technology in the coming years, as businesses look to take advantage of its many benefits.

I worked with a Cray back in 2012 and the amount of engineering that goes into each rack and down to each blade is incredible. The biggest thing that got me was the geometry of the heatsinks that were designed to slightly compress air as it left each blade into the one above it.
How does this concrete compare to a state-of-the-art mix -- not just the stuff they use to pour my driveway or the highway, but the best we know how to make?
For people who don't know the difference between cement, mortar and concrete:

Cement is a substance used for producing mortar and concrete. It's never used on its own. It is a "binding agent". Note that the term "cement" is often not used correctly in everyday speech, with people talking about gluing bricks together with cement, when bricks are actually glued together with mortar.

Mortar is the glue between bricks. You can see it between the bricks in any brick wall. It is produced by mixing cement with sand. This results in a paste which hardens after being applied to a brick.

Concrete is a substance that can be put into any shape, and then hardens. The bricks in a brick wall can be made from it. (More examples?) It is produced by mixing cement with sand and gravel (which are larger rocks).

There is also reinforced concrete, which the Romans didn't have. While concrete by itself can in principle be moulded into any shape, this can sometimes fall apart after hardening. Reinforcement refers to putting the concrete around metal wiring, which allows for more versatile shapes while maintaining stability.

Feel free to provide corrections.
Most of my data structures exist in powers of two memory space. All of my calculations of complexity are also represented in powers of two. If I double the data I'm dealing once, twice, ten times, I expect to have to increase my storage by the same amount, not by 103% for each interval.
I do think the field of psychopharmacology is probably sufficient to give an appreciation of the complexity involved at the same time as being useful to the practical understanding of how medications (and food) change behavior. It's also well studied and there are good books. I think Dr Stahl's books are the university standard. Like a lot of science though I think much of it is 'current best guess'.

For information on the modifying DNA expression in neurons that's under epigenetics and not as well studied.

(I recall how my senior hugh school maths teacher was wizz at drawing circles, lines and other geometry on the chalkboard)
It depends. Where I live the roads in our neighborhoods are paid for by the town (property taxes) and many roads that run through the town are paid for by the county (income taxes) and then the highways are paid for by the state in part via tolls and other ones by the Federal Government via taxes.

Sure, but we explicitly tried to counter those forces in the US, including through government policy to build industry in areas where it wasn't before.

Moving the defense industry to be less-concentrated in Los Angeles was deliberate and wasn't moving to "frontier" towns. It was moving to towns that were created for one purpose but had been somewhat "skipped over" after that in favor of the biggest cities.

I think it's probably worth trying to incentivize that more today. It still happens organically some (big companies moving HQs out of expensive areas, for instance), but probably could stand to happen more.

I think that you do need interactivity through JavaScript at some point. And I find react and similar easier to maintain than an HTML/JS soup generated by PHP, JSP, or RoR.

As I said, exceptionally hard in practical terms - just not as baffling as the parent poster painted it. With the right judge anything is possible, and US history is full of controversial "overreaching" judgements.

(and with the deep pockets GH/MS have, it doesn't really matter if the case eventually loses on a big principle - it's just a case of dragging it long enough that, some time through the whole process of appeals, the plaintiff will get broke enough to give up or accept a deal. This line is likely just one of many that defendants will employ.)

> Early miners/adopters were (exponentially!) closer to the money in bitcoin.

True, this initial distribution of Bitcoin isn't desirable longterm.

The important question is: do the fundamental dynamics of the system lead to a less unequal distribution or to even more concentration in the longterm?
I'd say the longterm dynamics of a system that's capable of reaching some equilibrium are hugely more important than its initial state.

Every time, some Bitcoin whale buys something with their coins, they're very likely flattening the distribution.
Since Bitcoin doesn't earn any interest, whales cannot just spend the earnings and keep a constant balance. Every time (almost) they spend, the distribution becomes more flat.

As long as the Bitcoin price were to rise, the incentive to buy something else with it would also increase. Combined with people having finite lifespan this will probably lead to most whales spending sooner or later.
it's not so bad; where I grew up in France many streets were cobblestone and it was fine. It's pretty rare in the US though except I've noticed it in streets where they have trams running--presumably to reduce the need for maintenance on those streets.
Smart Light Bulbs.

As much as I dislike the inability to host the bulbs locally, it has done wonders for my sleep. I set them to slowly dim over a 45 minute period at night and slowly turn on over a 45 minute period in the morning. I have consistently gotten 8+ hours of amazing sleep and fall asleep + wake up so much easier now than I ever have before.
Given the Roberts Court's inclinations, this argument is probably too early rather than wrong. We'll see with the Axon case noted in the article, or when some state AG sues the FTC over its proposed ban on non-competes.

I think some wires are getting crossed here. It has been a long time since you could truly get any degree, and everything would work. That's honestly more of a Boomer and before thing when college graduates were sparse (and off jobs weren't that common).

It is certainly true, and probably still true, if you go to a truly elite school that any degree will do (consulting will hire any young grad from a top school with good grades), but it has been a long time since you could get any degree from any school. People are badly misinformed if they think you can go to a third-tier state school, get poor grades in a random major, and have an easy time making a lot of money.

I started college in 2002 for frame of reference.

Thanks so much for the reply! This clears a lot up, and I'm happy to see that my basic understand was not too far off.

I don't completely buy into the notion that this needs to be soup-to-nuts; that the T2 / MFM / Ulam stack is a necessarily the right way forward.

But I think that what I see as the core insight -- that determinism and synchronicity is the deep rot at the core of our understanding of how to build distributed systems -- is true beyond all reasonable doubt. The idea of evolving (literally or figuratively) self-healing systems and components is I think at the core of the future of computer science.

And the dirty secret of all distributed systems of significant scale is that they have already escaped the attempt to confine them -- operational complexity has become a matter of botany, but without any insights or tools to help us deal with the actual complexity, but instead applying layers of attempts to reduce complexity that usually just end up reducing the legibility of the system.
I have heard this line a lot, and it shouldn’t go unchallenged. Most homeless people don’t plan to be homeless anywhere, and certainly don’t plan to move from Detroit to LA to be homeless. Many poor but non-homeless people have never left their state, so it’s pretty hard for me to imagine a homeless person gathering enough money for a cross-country trip to supposedly homeless Mecca. And most homeless people are only temporarily homeless.

Many people also aren’t aware of the fact that a sizable percentage of homeless people have jobs. So “poor life choices” can prevent a person from having a roof over their head, but apparently not from working.

No, what is clear is that there is a direct relationship between an influx of people, lack of new housing, and an increase in homeless people. Did people suddenly become more predisposed to mental illness and drug addition when housing demand went up? Of course not. Most of the homeless people in a city are from that city.

In places with Housing First, there is a huge decrease in homelessness of course, but also in other associated problems like mental illness and drug addiction.
There are two sides to this coin. The roads need repair continually and resurfacing eventually, yes. What happens when property values and the local economy begin to deteriorate instead of prosper? All those utilities and public rights of way still need those repairs, but there's no appetite to raise property taxes, and the tax base is dwindling, and there's little reason to keep paying the mortgage on a depreciating house, especially once 2/3rds of your street is gone.

How sustainable is a system that requires perpetual good times?

Calling it a ponzi scheme is a stretch, but this guy seems to be the only one talking about this:

Thanks for linking Featherwiki. I've used Tiddlywiki, and it's good to see other entries in this space (wikis as a single HTML file).

Featherwiki's 55KB size is quite small compared to Tiddlywiki's 2MB. That said, the size difference alone may not be sufficient reason to switch away from Tiddlywiki.
Is it correct to say that makes it (slightly) more like a uniform distribution, if viewed as a spectrum between one-point distribution and uniform?

This is the result of the prescription amphetamines.
When people stop taking amphetamines, perspective returns and you realize there's a lot of noise that you don't actually care about. When you're overloading your dopamine receptors with amphetamine, you see potential in everything.
I have the same thing, makes the greatest roast potatoes.

Wash and cut the potatoes into whatever's the appropriate size, put in the frying basket, pressure cook on high with the timer set to 2 mins (timer only starts once pressures built), release pressure, remove basket and drain + shake roughly.

Leave to sit for ~15 minutes on the counter while doing other shit, empty and dry the main vessel.

Bit of olive oil (or other fat) and seasoning onto the potatoes with shaking to make more surface area by fucking up the surface, pop it back in and air fry for 20-25m on 200*C, shaking halfway through.

End result? Absolutely perfect roast potatoes. Glassy crunchy outsides, fluffy insides, every time.

Also functions as a dehydrator and is super good enough to turn harvested mushrooms dry enough to powderise to make seasonings.
Sometimes all you need is an atomic counter though (or lock). Like, for the commonly used Prometheus metrics format, you usually just have global, atomic counters, because it's arguably the most efficient/easiest way to do it. Higher level primitives are nice, but even lower level APIs might be "the right choice" for even high-level problems.

It won’t be nearly as fast, but you could easily have a slim fit storage device in the SD slot. You’d want some microsd to sd adapter made specifically for the MacBook.

That would get you a TB of storage.
I'm studying emotional philosophy and I think it's great advice. Executive function disorders stem from an inability to healthily feel and use anger. If you had a parent who monopolized expressions of anger during your childhood, you're going to have problems with executive function as an adult.

Fear and anger are like look and leap. People who can't feel anger can only look and never leap.

Written from the comfort of your warm home with your secure, easily replaceable tech job. It's very easy to be philosophical when it's not your entire life and family history at stake.

Answering questions like "what should people do instead?" is important to figuring out how we can move away from things that damage the climate. If you just tell people "your life and livelihood isn't as important as X" isn't going to get that person to agree with you.

Yes you could theoretically delay cash comp over a period of 3+ years like tech companies do with stock, but I've never heard of that happening.

I suppose by the technical definition the year end bonus cash is deferred comp, but I don't think 1 year is especially hard to plan around. People might stick out an extra few months because of it but it's not locking anyone in for years at a time. Plus even if you subtracted an entire year from the JS retention rates they are still quite good.

Regardless, the amounts cited by the original comment are only the base which isn't deferred by more than 2 weeks at a time, whatever your bonus potential is.

This is a popular trope, but companies have already begun walking back their claims of rampant theft[0].

There are increased profits when building in more prosperous areas, so one might understand why companies choose to do so given limited resources. But lower profits in inner cities are not always about theft so much as a lack of cash.

I don't think normality is required -- the sqrt(n) scaling factor comes out of variance laws and the definition of the mean.

It should be true for any distribution that has a variance, and the 150-year historic return certainly has a variance.

I only have only few (less than 10) IoT devices using WiFi and they are spread over 2 fairly good access points. The rest are either wired or using ZigBee. My router doesn't have WiFi functionality itself, it's a Unifi Dream Machine SE[0] with the APs and cameras connected in PoE. It's plugged on a UPS, so hopefully the internet should still work if the electricity cuts.

Regarding your issues, I'm not an expert but I would recommend deploying more access points (pick some good ones) on the areas where your IoT devices are. Best advice I have is to wire your access points, I always had bad results when bridging them wirelessly. Although if you are in a remote area with little interference, you could get better results.

Reinforced concrete in part is designed to provide structural strength under tension forces. Concrete is stable in compression but has weak resistance to tension. Pretensioned reinforced concrete permits longer unsupported spans but even vertical concrete can benefit from reinforced bars, to prevent spalling. (I believe). Not all reinforcing steel has to be tensioned to be useful, that's a technique for long spans.

Reinforced steel bars hence rebar.
I second this suggestion. I also spent years on crappy cheap mattresses, until I was traveling monthly and noticed that (at least after the first night) I slept better just about anywhere else than at home. So I bought a Tuft&Needle Mint, which has been pretty good. Then over the Christmas holiday I let my brother use my bed and I slept down on a crappy fold-out loveseat in the basement for a week. Much to my surprise (and a bit of deja vu) I found I was sleeping better than usual. Apparently I now need something even firmer than the Mint, so I have a Helix Twilight on order as my 2022 Christmas present to myself. I've also spent a fair bit of money on good pillows, good curtains, etc. because getting a good night's sleep is huge and increasingly hard to get at my age. Nobody I've known has ever seemed to regret getting a good mattress.

Alife is a huge field, and systems as old as Tierra demonstrate self-replication. The concept by itself is not revolutionary, but I am not aware of any examples specifically in Conway's game of life.

The question for me is more whether simpler Turing-complete rule systems can accomplish this on space-scales and time-scales that can give us insights into the nature of emergent behavior in evolved systems.

Of course density should be pursued wherever it's cheapest to do so.

Sony ZV-1, Elgato Cam Link 4K, and a few other minor accessories (eg. lighting).

A huge amount of time is spent on video calls these days, and although there are more advanced webcams out there these days - a camera which is geared towards video (the ZV-1 is aimed at vlogging) will produce significantly better video for any calls you're on.

Spending a little bit of time optimising your setup so that you're the one in the call with good quality video/audio is worth it. Get a decent camera, get a good microphone, improve your background lighting.
