There's isn't necessarily more of either poverty or crime in USA cities than rural areas, it's roughly the same on average. (per capita; there are of course more people total in a city than a similarly sized rural area). Googling for cites, I find numbers all over the place.

I don't know how to compare problems between the USA and Japan, or decide what kinds of problems are "worse"... but our misperceptions of the size of various problems based on our "common sense" probably doesn't help.

I did not know about the Google Optimize shutdown. That's a shame. Google Analytics might be the product they've bungled the most after chat (breaking upgrades, features moved out then moved back, enhanced ecommerce, etc.).
A model that tries these moves is more valuable than one that doesn't. It's easy to filter out by rules if we have them, but harder to get something to look beyond if it's self-restricting.

I think this stackoverflow answer gives a good answer:

https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/3097...
But most people don't seek a random image of "pink Cadillac with a man in a black top hat". They either search a specific picture they can describe that way (famous photo, specific guy to reference...) or don't know what it looks like and need a refence (and the uncanny, not-quite-right thing AIs tend to generate on unspecific prompts is totally useless). In both cases, AI-generated look alikes are the wrong answer to the question.

It might work for some use cases, but it would never replace the search function.
You started your irony well, then had to blame immigrants and ruin your point.
I am not trying to shut down the discussion, just what the discussion is about.

The game needs to be changed entirely, and we need to talk about how. Communism didn't work, capitalism does not work anymore, and the topic you'd like to discuss is really just a logical consequence of raw capitalism. I understand that capitalism was probably good to you in particular, so you are not interested in changing the game, just fixing it here and there, but that is pointless, as I already said.

My empathy with overpaid Googlers is also quite limited. Maybe they can now do something useful with their lives. I don't think Google's website works better than 15 years ago, so what are all these people doing?

It’s like it’s paradise but lots of people don’t want to live in it or bring new life into it.

This reminds me of the equally paradoxical longing some have for disasters. You can see this in disaster movies which succeed by playing on this paradoxical longing for “something to happen.”

I also think this is a driver behind nihilistic fascist politics. It’s sort of like “Let’s create hell on Earth so we can finally be men!”

I think we are wired for a much more hostile environment and our brains don’t know what to do with peaceful abundance. We get bored and either depressed or “otaku.”

I recently set up huge pages on my database server (MariaDB and Postgres) the recommended way, which required way too much rigamarole IMO. Add to the kernel command line to statically allocate a number of huge pages of a certain size. Create a group to access huge pages. Configure that group to access huge pages. Add mysqld etc to the group. Configure the huge pages to be mounted as a virtual filesystem in /dev/ for some reason. Add corresponding configuration to the database to tell it to use huge pages and where to get them.

This should all just be a single boolean flag in the database config telling it to use huge pages which it gets from mmap dynamically. Why is any of the filesystem, permission, static allocation malarkey necessary?
This is a major plot point in the stories, that and criminally bobbling someone to get them out of the way.

It happens when Edge updates which, like Chrome, happens fairly frequently so I can understand why you might think that it is forced. But you can delete it and not have it appear until Edge updates again.

I think it's clear that this whole process is not really circular and hinges on people who collect bitcoins thinking they will keep growing in value. These folks are willing to not be able to get out for now, but they will be making a hell of a lot of effort to push the croins onto all of us because it would put them right at the top of the pyramid along with Satoshi and friends.
What's wrong with the marketing? It's marketed as solid state active cooling, where are they suggesting that it's more than that?
You know how better app for finding good restaurant can't find good restaurants of there are no good restaurants?

Search is dead, spammers killed it and Google was happy about it because it has become an answer machine where they can say the answer is whoever pays the most. Greatly deteriorated experience from what it used to be.

Now someone builds an answers machine with much much better user experience with all that data which Google can no longer surface.

I don't know if Google can quickly match that function but even if they do, are they going to be able to replicate the experience if the answers machine choose the answers by a bidding war?
Switching costs are non-trivial but I would also keep in mind just how valuable “we don’t raise prices” is to AWS for getting businesses to adopt them. In practice that means they don’t lower prices as quickly when the underlying costs decrease but an awful lot of CIOs prefer that to volatility.

When the market is closer to saturation that could change but I think that’s going to hold for at least a decade or two: there is considerably more money being spent on traditional data centers than in the cloud and I’m sure they’re trying to give as few disincentives as possible to those potential customers.

> I remember when hard drives moved to 4k sectors. It seemed insane that they were still 512bytes, and seemed neat to have them the same size as memory pages. But 4k pages seem incredibly small today

It's a problem with NVMe especially large ones: we're just starting to see 4kn.

Even for a 4kn drive, the block size they report (and the erase block size) are not the ones used internally. There are some tools to infer the correct size using breakpoint detection in latency measurements.

There're also some simple rule of thumb: 2^16 for Samsung >1Tb (64k)
I would say it’s not just the cost of housing, but cost of (good) childcare in general. Children are massively financially costly… daycare, clothing, food, medical care, education, etc. They’re expensive in terms of time too, and parents are practically always short on time due to needing dual incomes to be able to pay the bills without constantly sitting on the edge.

So realistically, I think that what all this means is that an economy can’t have its cake and eat it too; its workforce can work itself to death or it can have kids at replacement rate, not both.

Polls have shown that young people are no less interested in starting families than they were in decades past. It’s simply not responsible to do so in the case of an increasing number of couples’ situations, and so they don’t. The only way to turn this trend around is to pay actual living wages and mandate a better work-life balance on a national scale.
As a foreigner that got a rental apartment in Japan I would like to push back on the image that renting is difficult. I didn't have too much problems despite not being able to speak the language. I just looked up properties myself on Suumo (website to find listings) and arranged viewings, and managed to get my top pick. I would say that whatever problems there are in this area are just overshadowed by the fact that in many places in the US there isn't even enough housing.
I think someone like Google has some potential serious leverage here...

I see a lot of discussion about types of lamps/lights, LED vs Gas, etc.. In my opinion the focus should instead be on two things:

- BUG rating [1] Backlight (B) uplight (U) glare (G)

- Legislating compliance of BUG ratings.

Longer term there could be citations for violating BUG ratings first on city governments, then businesses then finally on residential. If a light manufacturer is found to have false BUG ratings then city and state governments must sue them into compliance or oblivion.

> Here's the kicker: I haven't even introduced the reality that 100% conversion to electric powered vehicles will require the US to double it's power generation capacity. This is monumental. Conceptually, it means we have to fully duplicate our existing generation and transmission infrastructure. Frankly, I don't know how we make that happen. Please don't say solar. Once again, nuclear keeps coming back as a source that is impossible to ignore. We need so much power to support electric vehicles that we would need to build 1200 new 1 GW class nuclear power plants. This is impossible. Clearly a hybrid system will be required. Again, no, solar can't do it. It can be a part of it, but it just can't rise up to the occasion.

This is an unfathomably stupid take.

If every truck including all the small ones were a tesla semi, and every car, pickup or motorbike were a ford lightning, then this is an average load of around 200-300GW. 150-200GW is more realistic. Simply plugging in most cars most of the time and using grid aware charging would solve this, but if that's really unfathomable you can just duplicate whatever portion of the battery is used each day (<10% on average, less on some cars, more on others) and leave some of it at the charger and some at the solar array or wind turbine.

Daily gasoline demand is fairly consistent and quite elastic, it drops about 20% in winter and has minor spikes on holidays. Price signals can and regularly do control for this, but overbuilding 20% or simply taking advantage of many of the air conditioners or heaters being off is more than sufficient.

This will lower transmission strain rather than raise it, as it allows all the energy to be transferred during off peak and allows peak smoothing.

Long haul trucking will likely opt to schedule charging in blocks rather than have two redundant batteries for each truck. This is fairly easy to do as they know where they are going. Running chargers at 3MW per bay without storage wouldn't work anyway and no large multi bay truck chargers are planned without colocated storage or generation.

You're right that 1.2TW of nameplate generation would solve this easily but it is 1.2TW of solar built at <30c/W over the next 10 years, not 1.2TW of nuclear built for an average cost of $20/W (including all the failures that still need to be paid for) and rising. 500GW solar and 300GW wind would probably also be plenty.
You need an ideal to strive for beyond yourself.

The topos theory of computing: introduction to the mathematics of dataflow [pdf]
Hello, I do research in the area of program data-flow analysis. The theory of data-flow analysis has been extensively studied. Data Flow Analysis: Theory and Practice by Khedker, Sanyal, and Sathe is a reference textbook. This subject essentially studies how programs move data from one memory location to another.

My work in this field has led me to search for new mathematical foundations for dataflow analysis. These foundations will abstract the concept and address a number of issues. Firstly, traditional dataflow analysis only works on explicitly defined product types like bit vectors. This provides a limited scope for the theory. To generalize from this, we can use partitions, which can model any type of information accessible by a function.

Then to model dataflow relations in this new abstracted setting, I have suggested the use of the Sierpinski topos. Using this fundamental topos, we can model dataflow relations between information locations represented with the highest level of generality. This forms a broad generalisation of the notion of congruences from abstract algebra.

Many canaries are avoidable if you pay perfect attention - but people slip up, and even if they don't, paying perfect attention does increase the cost for the attacker.

My feeling is that that approach would cause dozens of itches to pop up. Things like, “my coworker is on Windows and I’m struggling to come up with step-by-step instructions for her to set up the project.” Those are valid UX issues but likely just the beginning of a rabbit hole.

I think that tackling those issues would inevitably lead to yet another Poetry/Pipenv clone – because with UX, the devil is in the details.

Unlike most people’s “passive” strategy of posting a resume on LinkedIn or sending resumes to job postings then hoping that someone takes notice of you, you’ll develop an “active” strategy of finding openings before they’re ever posted publicly. It takes more work and planning, which is why you should start now while you’re employed.
