ACT includes a proof-of-compute mechanism to ensure the reliability of the resources on the decentralized network. Users can register their instances with the system and be rewarded with ACT tokens for doing so. The system will also continuously monitor the instances, and remove instances that fail to meet quality standards or provide inaccurate results.
ACT also includes a reputation system that allows holders to track the performance of the resources on the decentralized network. Users that provide accurate and stable resources will have a higher reputation score and be more likely to be selected for providing compute resources.
The decentralized network is managed by a process for adding and removing resources. This ensures that the network is always providing high-quality resources and maintain the stability of the ACU value.

SQLite claims at least 180K LOC (~145K+25%, covering a substantial but incomplete part of the codebase), and the above report shows Rails at 386K LOC.

Suggesting that LOC does not support this argument, and perhaps is not a great metric in general, especially across different languages.

That's amazing. Thank you for the history!
I can't help but think that economics is not the most important bit; at least not the money part. Urban life is simply much more entertaining nowadays. So many things to do, so many places to go... Of course people would be postponing being attached for years with the huge responsibility of taking care of a child.
CANDUs run on natural uranium but get about 1/10th as much energy out of each kg of fuel than a LWR. So it's much more of a wash. Not a factor of 10.

Check the average discharge burnup.
Volunteer at the local public library for 8 hours a day. Spend the rest of the time meditating, drinking tea, and taking my dog out for walks as a part time monk.
Huge amounts of the world de facto run on WhatsApp, including essential services like healthcare, emergency services, finance, etc. WhatsApp going down or shutting down is already an enormous threat.
I feel like you are describing me. I speak four languages. I love engineering and building stuff, but I have a limitless love to nature and the outdoors, hiking, biking, swimming in the wilds, hunting, and I love Deserts and mountains.
I really enjoy the Economist overall, but I think one of their serious, long term blind spots has been around this subject:

>But President Joe Biden’s abandonment of free-market rules for an aggressive industrial policy has dealt it a fresh blow.

Free Market is NOT the same as Free Trade. In fact, Free Trade is often in direct opposition. The Free Market is essentially an optimization system for seeking to constantly find local minimums within a given set of constraints. It requires things like information symmetry and cost internalization, as well as maintained competition to avoid falling permanently into a artificially high minimum, and a society can set the constraints to include floors and bounds on what they want in terms of basic human needs. But the sorts of Free Trade the Economist and similar have often pushed undermine all aspects of that. If a factory in Country A has to properly internalize all its costs (such as pollution) but a factory in Country B doesn't, then the output of factory B will be artificially cheaper due to getting to externalize costs. Manufacturing may move from A to B, but it's not because B has figured out how to do things more efficiently and properly won by improving the overall economy, it's because B is stealing from people. That's the opposite of what should happen. Same with other aspects, like competition or property protection. China in particular has made that heavily one way as an aspect of state policy, banning foreign entities from competing domestically on a level playing field. Which sure they can do, but there shouldn't be any coddling of that with equivalent access either.

I agree that subsidies are badly inefficient, and that simple dumb protectionism is a bad idea too, but "Free Trade" should be normalized between borders to match the local Free Market or, well, we'll see exactly what we've seen has indeed happened. The Economist have been rare fools IMO for not beating the drum on that hard, and it's not a modern thing but goes back for decades at least, as long as I've been closely reading it. And the result has been a failure which has rightly angered people and mixed the genuine new wealth (efficiency) generated with artificial wealth made on the backs of others/declining living standards. That there'd be backlash is natural, and that said backlash would be broad stroke and threaten to throw the baby out with the bathwater is unfortunate but also unsurprising because it was ever thus. The Economist of all people should have been well placed to suggest principled solutions to this long ago, so it's too bad that opportunity got missed back when it would have been a lot easier to pull off.
Given how much of computing is memory bound in loads that exceed cache, I appreciate AMD's efforts to expand L3 more than Intel's to increase clock speed.
A corollary to this would be: “Backups are worthless. Restores are priceless.”
Because the web app is exactly the experience I want to have while writing:

Nothing on my screen except two areas: The writing area and the margin around it.

I want to be able to easily resize the writing area the way I can resize the textarea.

I want to be able to easily change the font size via ctrl+ and ctrl-.
So how many implementations of widevine are around? Web standards are well past the point where anyone involved could claim the procedural, moral or intellectual high ground.
Thanks! I haven't seen this before, though I have heard these 7 general principles. My personal strategy is broadly:

1. daily encrypted restic backups to my local NAS, running ZFS raidz2

2. weekly rsyncs of the backup directory to an offsite machine

3. yearly full offsites of the entire NAS

I test my backups frequently if only because I have some odd persistent bug that eats my zsh history file about once a month. I now have a "recover-latest-history" script that pulls that file back down from the latest restic backup. I have just completed an offsite and exchanged it for last year's, so I can test that now too!

Rate my tao :)
> The advantage of running gas to homes is to avoid the single point of failure

I had a 10 minutes blackout today and my gas boiler heating radiators in all my house went off. I think that I'd need a UPS for the boiler if I don't want main power to be a single point of failure.
> Done correctly, this is great for employees, their morale, and their productivity.

IMO, the "correct" way to do it is to establish a minimum amount of time off.

I think it's reasonable to require people take at least 15 days of PTO, with at least 5 of them taken as a consecutive week.

I also wonder if releasing statistics on how much PTO people took would help?
IQ 125+ is a bit less than the top 5%.

The country with the highest percentage of PhDs is Slovenia, at 3.8% of 25-64 year-olds.

I know academic performance doesn't perfectly equate to IQ, especially at this level because right now smart people have many other options, but on the other hand that's the highest percentage and the OECD average is just short of 1.1%.

OECD PhD percentages: https://doi.org/10.1787/888933978645

China I'm not sure about, but seems to be about 500k/year, so if I estimate population of 1.5e9 and 80 year life expectancy, that's a steady-state level of 3.75% of the entire population.

So the minimum for those things being above IQ 125 seems at least plausible. May not be correct, but it is plausible.
> I can’t think of a single reason

This is depressing, because there is good news out there!

I’m sure you’re not alone, that you’re reflecting what the article is talking about. But I feel like this might say more about how we are sharing news and framing the world than about whether this is a good time to raise kids or not.

Shootings in the Wild West were a dime a dozen. Politicians have always been shitty. In the mean time, amazing things are going on everywhere in the world. Being unable to think of a single one is a bit frustrating.
Everyone I know who could financially afford to have kids, did decide to have kids. And those that were struggling financially delayed their kids.

I can't believe the simple reality of how bad the job market can be for regular young people has not yet reached politicians and they actually needed a study to tell them? Just try to buy a family home with an average salary ... and you know why people don't create the situation that requires a family home.
Yeah its very dystopian. I suspect many of the hard core users have some form of generalised anxiety and are in fact the type of people who shouldn't be using this app at all.
Compare the costs of medical bills, day care, & college tuition for a 50th percentile U.S. household income now, vs. the equivalents in (say) 1960. And back then it was normal and accepted to let your kids roam the town all day (outside of school hours) - vs. laborious modern helicopter parenting.

Merely being willing to live in a small house, with broadcast TV, etc. would get you nowhere near the affordability of having children ~65 years ago.
Factoring Integers with Sublinear Resources on Superconducting Quantum Processor
Yes, we have a clearer view of the world than ever for those who can discern the truth from the bullshit. But shootings have always happened and are still quite rare, politicians have certainly been more corrupt in our history, and climate change is just that, change. We're not certain which regions are going to benefit and which will suffer. We might all collectively suffer economically from the instability, but the "fiery hellscape" rhetoric is severely overblown.

Seems like many in my generation (millennials) and younger are ill-equipped to deal with this glut of information, so they seize up. There are plenty of rational reasons to postpone having kids. School shootings, climate change and political corruption are not among them once you look at the data.
Unfortunately, it can be difficult to crowd-source funding when funding services, like Kickstarter cave to opposition to controversial compute projects. Unstable Diffusion, despite quickly reaching their funding goals, was suspended on Kickstarter. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/unstablediffusion/unsta...
I think it's an attempt to convey the level of effort involved? Seems like an even worse measure than lines of code.

Somehow "everything that Chrome ships" is core functionality now

Somehow you blame Firefox for this. Even though "only works in IE" isn't even ancient history
Almost all the bad things you’re worried about don’t require an elevated token. I’m much more worried about someone stealing my data, installing a trojan, etc. (none of which require elevation) than installing a device driver (which does).

This obsession with not running as root/using UAC is just cargo cult security for single user systems.
They don't want to admit it.
It's all money.

Houses weren't allowed to collapse when they were overinflated, and here we are with the highest house-to-income ratio in ages and ages.

If you can't have a house, you can't have kids.

Then there's daycare and college savings. Also at the highest ever.

Post agrarian kids already can't make any money for years and years, so we make fewer of them.

But maybe the biggest problems is the precariousness of it. When you have kids, you need to not lose your job. Even more so when stuff costs loads.

Want more kids? Subsidize kids. The US has the world's biggest and baddest military. If you want lots of kids pay for that as well.
Eggs every day don't contribute to high cholesterol either. Dietary cholesterol in general doesn't lead to high blood cholesterol.
Well if what you said is true does it even need to be extinguished? I disagree of course, but your comment seems at odds with itself. A uniquely terrible product that no one has a use for is not something i would expect big money to rush to get rid of.
Wait until you find out why bread and starch is at the bottom of the food pyramid… which is still, to this day, being taught in schools.
Be a part of a community that teaches kids or adults. I would also learn Physics. And music. Spend time with friends. Make some simple and dumb software.
That's an argument I can follow. It reminds me of an interesting bit of Canadian history when Britain decided to solve two problems at once: Britain had a surplus of orphans and street children, and homesteaders in the colonies had a demand for children (aka free farm labour) so they shipped out 100s of thousands of children under an adoption scheme:

I suspect Cuba is an outlier because they have a reasonably functional healthcare system, but at the same time most people are too poor to overeat or indulge in substance abuse. They literally can't afford to sit around and get fat.

I have a friend who started a charter school. He said the reason charter schools do better is nothing to do with teaching, it is that they are allowed to kick out the trouble makers.

Public schools are required to take all applicants. In the past my town had a special school where you got sent if you were caught with drugs or other major infraction.

Maybe try the Danegeld approach? If a student is good all week give them $50 on Friday.
I would actually very strongly disagree with that assertion.

Delivery robots are limited to certain college campuses, robotic waitresses are far from the mainstream, and self-checkout appears to still need 1-2 workers manning it for loss-prevention/general help.

Meanwhile, Robotic Process Automation is gutting the "I download a PDF and transcribe it to Excel" worker category at banks.

In Bavaria we have "Heimatpfleger" on communal level which are knowlegable about stuff like this. Maybe ask the statelevel parent organisatiim (link above) and they may forward you to the correct Heimatpfleger

A good book on why those capitalist Platforms are hiring and investing a lot on becoming "the most perfect platform" is Nick Srnicek's Pltaform Capitalism ( https://www.wiley.com/en-us/Platform+Capitalism-p-9781509504... )

Most of their profitability comes from becoming a de facto monopoly / middle-man so they will attempt to gain as much market share as aggressively as possible. (Including sacrificing present profitability, giving away money for free rides/things, etc)

It is not a technical necessity but an economic venture capital necessity.
Currently watching my wife throw up for the 6th time this week with morning sickness (except hers happens after 6pm). She is in academia and has enough flexibility that she's been able to arrange her classes in the morning when she feels better. I work from home in my own company so I can eke out free time.

But man, there is no way we would have been able to make this work if we had traditional jobs. Pregnancy is hard, and it's much, much harder for some people. My wife has been constantly nauseaous for a month now. The medication that does help somewhat - Zofran - has some iffy results and most doctors are afraid to prescribe it.

I don't regret it, but I absolutely do not have the will or the time or the money to have another.

Nomen est omen. Normative determinism strikes again. Frame is gonna frame.
Your solution to the healthcare crisis is just make everybody lose weight and all the problems of our system go away. You ever try to lose 10 pounds? 100? Spend some time in a general medicine clinic and come back to me.
> For me it's about how much heat they put out. I have to crack a window I'm winter when gaming.

Back in the Amiga era, I inverted the PSU fan of a very loaded 2000 (lots of memory, SCSI, Video Toaster, etc) and piped in the output of an air-conditioner directly to it (with a little bit of epoxy sculpting). It stopped crashing and worked happy for a long time until being replaced by a boring Windows box running NT.
Probably more for the younger readers, but "Stop blaming others" is great advice. Individuals, systems, history etc. - you name it. You can't change the past and you can't control what others do, but most of the time there are things you can do to improve your situation. So do that.
You might be on to something there. I wonder if it was a vision-only version.

Anecdotally, my wife and I used FSD out in Oregon while on vacation a year ago and had these these "phantom brakes" occur two times on the same stretch of road. It was very sunny day through the gorge to Hood River from Portland and I'm thinking there definitely would have been sharp contrasting shadows from the trees and sunlight.
That's from 2012, are there any further developments?

Thank you for your sane reply.
Twitter and Facebook aren't the only two options, and I don't think GP was suggesting Twitter was the right one.
Correct. Turkey has one of the best - maybe the best? Singapore could be better - positions on the planet. The straits alone are a remarkable advantage, much less the direct path along the new Silk Road, the warm water ports, the vast Anatolian plain, etc.

Turkey is one of the most important NATO members, and they know it.
I don't know how it is in the US, but in Europe, it would not be surprising to see a lot of student email address bounce back really quickly.
Students graduate, leave/change university, and the email system keeps only current students.

"...We estimate that a quantum circuit with 372 physical qubits and a depth of thousands is necessary to challenge RSA-2048 using our algorithm.

Well I can tell you that even if recent price hikes don't change anything in our budgeting, having more than 2 kids is simply a no-go, which is number below maintaining current population.

Its simply too effin' hard for most of us that have actual jobs, started from 0 and are not cruising on money/possibilities our parents showered us with. After 2 kids, I simply don't see the point in 3rd, the 'parental fulfillment' won't get higher, definitely happiness won't as numerous studies proven, just more chaos, less sleep and patience, more conflicts. People I casually ask about this all seem to agree, why more than 2, heck some are fine with 1 (I would call it parenting easy mode, it didn't feel like that back then, but when looking now with 2nd it was a very chill period).

Also tons of young now feel far from rest of family which is cool for independence and such, but when SHTF with kids you realize that often grandparents and rest of family are not so bad despite their flaws.

The bar for being a good parent is so damn high these days, compared to 'most kids survived into adulthood' not so long ago. And even most western countries do give very little in terms of support for new parents. So no wonder it looks intimidating to many
All of the “suggestions” involve letting a pretty nasty bug persist in the wild. I can see why time was of the essence for them. Backlash from knowingly letting a bug be in production and exploitable would probably mean even bigger problems for them. Holidays? Too bad so sad. Maybe the author here should have waited until January to tell them about it… asks for urgent attention to a bug right before the holidays. Gets surprised when the urgent bug is fixed urgently. I don’t understand people anymore.
A good daycare in my area costs half my rent. Bonkers!
> The "free market" thinking behind globalization was broken by China first

That’s cute but not true. Countries like France force their colonies (former) in Africa to supply raw materials (like chocolate or vanilla) for cheap, and make billions every year by processing it and selling finished goods for sometimes 100x. Any attempts by African nations to process the raw materials to finished goods are actively squashed by the French govt by a mix of policies. France is not alone in this. “Free Market” has never existed.
Not seeing that here in LA. The organic brown eggs seem to be holding price pretty well. I thought it was just slow movement and that the next shipment would have higher prices but so far so good.
12 weeks for most chickens we eat. It’s honestly crazy lol
There have been several studies that have shown eggs to be healthy. There are several studies that show they are unhealthy. Bias is a real problem in nutrition science.

There are zero interventional studies that show eggs to be unhealthy.

In other words no one has given eggs to one group, observed another group not eat eggs and shown that eggs CAUSE a negative health outcome.

Instead people have made statistical calculations on food questionnaires that are highly unreliable.

Also people have fed eggs to people and measured various blood levels and made a educated guess on what the long term effects could be.

If a study by Kelloggs shows eggs to be unhealthy how can it be trusted?

Likewise if members of the study are animal rights activist, vegans or some other ideology that could in one way or another effect their judgement that study shouldn't be trusted. Especially if it is not a interventional study. Of which there are none that show poor health outcomes.
> If the car in front of you hits something and comes to an extremely abrupt stop and you don't have the stopping distance to stop, you're too close.

It is physically impossible for a car to come to an instantaneous stop for no reason. It would have to e.g. drive into a concrete wall, but if there's a wall across the freeway you should've seen that from afar.

You only really need to have enough distance to be able to notice the car ahead braking and start braking yourself.
TDP and actual power draw are two VERY different things. Intel and AMD both will plaster 95W or 125W or 160W TDPs on chips that will draw well over 250W when boosting as long as your cooling allows for it.
Oh, so many things. Learn more about CS-y topics, play games, figure out how to write gooder, read books, bike more (I want to get to a century before I'm too old), learn to cook better, relax, probably do a couple short contracts a year to try to keep up with the industry, exercise more, volunteer.
Agricultural protectionism creates political conflict inside the country that practices it.

The Corn Laws were so divisive in the UK because they were good for legacy nobles who owned vast amounts of rural land but bad for city dewellers and the emerging class of factory owners.

Note the story of

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Sugar

where particularly

... sugarcane in the United States remains nearly twice as expensive per pound
as in other developed countries due to the failure the industry would face
without government subsidies

even if you can say that the last things Americans need is more cheap sugar.

In the case of the US our comparative advantage for producing food is large and we don't improve national security by maximizing our production, we just use more fertilizer and get a bigger dead spot where the Mississippi river enters the ocean.
