Unfortunately, the problem here is that for the individual politicians, if you bet that climate change exists, the worst case scenario is that the big money turns against you and you lose office.

If you bet that climate change doesn't exist or can't be fixed, so we might as well go on with the status quo, the worst case is that you get voted out by environmentally-conscious voters...after getting scads of campaign contributions from the big money, and with a good chance of getting a cushy lobbying post from them afterwards.

These are the incentives we need to change.

Two of the biggest differences are ECC memory and virtualization support.
Absolutely. I live in a completely different state and I'm pretty unaffected by this whole tragedy/negligence. I could sit and speculate about what actually happened, but what does that do other than spend energy on something that I'm not actually involved with?

That's a bit of a weird use of WYSIWYG, which is usually used to mean that you can't see the metadata. For example, imagine you're editing a WYSIWYG document and enter:

A
Ctrl+I
Enter
Ctrl+I
B

This will look like:

A

B

If you later start typing on that intermediate line, though, your text will be in italics. This is what users expect, and is in contrast to outting a little "italics" markup symbol on the line, as people did pre-WYSIWYG or do today in Markdown, HTML, and other markup languages.

Wilhelm von Humboldt who inspired Stuart Mill, both liberalist (tradition that prompted the labour or land transaction) explained it before:

"Whatever does not spring from a man’s free choice, or is only the result of instruction and guidance, does not enter into his very being, but remains alien to his true nature; he does not perform it with truly human energies, but merely with mechanical exactness …we may admire what he does, but we despise what he is."

So here we are, selling our work and who knows what else.
> I wonder if Chatgpt has the same unused optimisation potential

Doubtful. As an example, OpenAI released Triton, a programming language explicitly for optimizing models. For the scale they're at they'd be crazy not to throw an engineer or two at optimizing the models they're going to send to production.
I agree, but you can only stretch an analogy so far. Unplugging a bathtub is free, whereas capturing carbon currently is more costly than the energy used to capture it.
They have a link to the bottom for something similar, but with GPT-2. The Hugging Face docs have hints for using FP16, and avoiding double memory requirements for model and checkpoint data.
> 3) A cool generic ISA project

I wish we had an ISA with non-linear, two-level memory space, so you can have non-overlapping arrays for free (well, as free as virtual memory required to support that would be free): that would mean that e.g. realloc() will never have to call memmove(), range checks are inescapable since they're baked into hardware, etc.

But implementing (and using) C on such an ISA will be deeply unpleasant, so it will just die because if something doesn't run C efficiently... it won't be used.
Some of the political channels I watch feature the hosts using (very obvious to a human) coded language to refer to COVID, Hitler, Nazis, Hunter Biden, etc. because they don't want to get targeted. It's pretty dystopian and creepy.
At the scale of investment OpenAI are making the software shouldn't be the moat anymore - you can hire a lot of very good software engineers with ten percent of that hardware budget.
Me too! Fixing Emacs + this whole `rls` strangeness was a yak whose shave I've been putting off for a while, and this just gave me quite a head start.

Plus, one of my biggest gripes with Emacs documentation that it is very hard to find good articles that are contemporary + shows the full configuration + comes from a perspective of a user using a tool, rather than a programmer building their environment from scratch.

Yes, I know, Emacs is one of the quintessential "environments built from scratch", and I engage in that too – sometimes to my detriment. But some days I just need to get python-mode / Poetry.el / eglot+Pyright to all play nice together and an article like this would go a long way.

The Canadian government has a page that includes some information about the effects of Far-UV light against Covid-19.

https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/201...

> A whole room UV simulation demonstrated a far UV-C lamp (207-222 nm) could further reduce SARS-CoV-2 by 50-85% compared to ventilation alone and with both far UV-C and high ventilation the SARS-CoV-2 viral count was reduced by 90% in 6 minutes and 99% in 11.5 minutes Footnote 5.

I wonder if this is something that I could add to my pre-existing home ventilation system; no concerns at all about skin exposure (which doesn't seem to be an actual issue based on this Boeing paper), and it shouldn't be so hard.

* I found this (https://faruv.com/) but I don't know how reliable they are.

That said, if this really was that effective, I don't understand how viruses and bacteria are able to survive outside with our fusion-powered UV ray generator in the sky.

-edit- * I feel dumb, here it is at the end of the summary. Looks like Boeing is working w/ faruv.

Scotland - and the emphasis is on the first syllable ("wea-" is about 1.5-2x longer than "ry", with the "r" short and rolled). But remember mapping pronunciation of spoken-English to Latin characters is a little bit ambiguous due to accents. For example you use the word "where" to help describe how you pronounce "wary", but for me that "wh" in "where" is slightly aspirated.

Honest question - do people actually look at commit messages seriously? For me it would be a nightmare to review by commit...Instead if you think of the smallest unit of work as the PR, you can just view all the changes and be done with it.

Not saying a commit message should be drivel but it can just be a simple one liner (it does help with Git Lens as you navigate code but that's about it).
I'm a big fan but be careful, Ruff doesn't support current versions of python >=3.11 yet.

When I first started using spreadsheets professionally (Excel 2009), I was confused—how do I name the columns? Surely you don't just enter the column names in the first row! I also tried putting my data into Access.

I hated Access and eventually abandoned it. Meanwhile, I pretty quickly decided that Excel is the fastest and overall best Microsoft product by a mile. I now just use Google Sheets, but if you have Windows and need to do lots of spreadsheeting, Excel is just by far the way to go. Far, far better than Libre Office, Numbers, or Google Sheets.

To be fair, I was rarely dealing with more than a couple thousand rows. If it were millions, and complicated joins, maybe Access (or probably SQLite) would be better, but oh my god, how is Excel so much faster and more polished than everything else? (Rhetorical question: Joel on Software has some stories that help answer.)

> recently published studies have demonstrated that UV light at 222nm has the same germicidal capabilities of 254nm light without damaging skin or eyes.

222nm may have the same capabilities, but not the same efficacy and efficiency as 254nm (or 185nm, the germicidal action if which is it creates ozone, which does the disinefecting). Still, if it works but just takes longer without the sunburn and blindness, whether by proximity to 254nm such that some 254nm is still present, and/or by proximity to 185nm such that ozone is still created, well, ok.
I don't own multifamily property in SF, so I'm not whining about my ability to do anything.

When tenants rights are restrictive enough property owners view tenants as a liability and that sets up perverse incentives that cause inefficient markets and underdevelopment. Occupied multifamily properties sell at steep discounts compared to their vacant counterparts. Property owners price in the potential longterm loss of use caused by a tenant. Do we want to heavily incentivize property owners to sell their properties without tenants? Do we want a housing market where multifamily properties sell for the same amount as much smaller single family homes? Do we want a development market where subdividing property is inadvisable and actually lowers property value?

At the end of the day, everyone deserves dignity. Part of that means acknowledging property owners take significant risk tenants do not and as such deserve fair use of their property. That means owners need to be able to give notice to end a tenancy amicably without eviction -- maybe that required notice is measured in years. That's plenty of time for any tenant to find another place. It means we need to stop conflating romantic ideals of "home" with actual ownership. If tenants watched themselves priced out over a decade, they're going to have a hard time. City programs should provide safety nets there, but it isn't their landlords burden to take carry them like a dependent. Tenancy is a very simple proposition: renters don't have to come up with downpayment, if the city goes to shit they can leave in a month, if the foundation gets water damage or an electrical fire breaks out they have no liability, their monthly payment is significantly less than a comparable mortgage payment. Tenants trade optionality for equity. As a tenant I never lost a single night of sleep worrying about electrical fires or new sewage pipes or the heater going out. I'd never have the gall to squat on a place for 10 years while paying inflation adjusted rent (far under market rate) and come out the other side with my hand held out for a tenant buy out. I would be absolutely ashamed of myself as a tenant in such a situation. If I'm being honest, I suppose I'd still do it and find ways to justify it. I'd tell myself it was after all "my home" and the landlord had more than one house so it was only fair. The story is just all too common in SF.
The reality, as usual, is that Google is far, far ahead of the other companies. Just like Waymo is ahead of Tesla, and DeepMind is ahead of OpenAI by miles...:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QEDBEdL7HY

They even have a far more advanced language model, they just don't release it publicly. It's scary how far Google is ahead, with its army of Ph. D's. They're the ones that pioneered the papers and techniques that OpenAI used -- but they did it 5 years ago.

This is just Google being Google ... they sunsetted Reader when it was popular, went through like 20 different chat products (GMail Chat, Hangouts, Google Meet, etc. etc.) and cannibalized their own projects. But as far as technology, they've got AI they're not disclosing to the world yet.

I'm sorry, I did phrase "companies are using JS-based apps" poorly. I meant it to mean that software vendors were delivering JS-based apps. That "(...)" you used is pulling a lot of weight. You deleted all the other context I had and stitched together two paragraphs.

The explosion of JS apps is a cost saving measure for vendors that given real choice, I don't think many consumers would opt for. The point is once you have lock-in and network effects, your customers don't really have much of a choice in the matter. At the very least, you can't say that's the market speaking in favor of the substandard apps any more than you can say it's the market speaking for any other choice the vendor makes.

As a related example, I'm sure people that were using 3rd party Twitter clients aren't feeling like the market has spoken and the best app has won just because Twitter killed off their API access. Their choice to stay on the platform has nothing to do with the their new-found love of the official apps.

Just because Google uses AI for things like ranking does not put them in the same category as a search engine with AI integrated. I hope you realize that. There's a clear differentiator at play with Bard and New Bing, and that's the space people are talking about.

The market exists. Products have been announced. Some are clearly more popular than others. I don't know why you care so much that Google beats Bing, but it's plainly obvious both from people's and Google's own reactions that Bing is currently considered the winner in the space.

Will it last? Maybe. Maybe not. The very thread you are replying to is that first movers ultimately fail. But it's plainly clear Bing has captured the first mover advantage in the space, whether you like it or not.

If you are going to do an asic (w/o data going to memory IO) then why not use regular encryption with codec on the SoC itself (like DRM content). that works just fine. IMO the main value here would be trust between unknown parties over untrusted medium.
Two wings of the same party. At this point because the DNC are currently so powerful they are parochially dominant (and extremely corrupt), the pendulum will swing soon and the power will shift to the RNC (who will no doubt also be extremely corrupt).

The unelected bureaucrats actually run everything in the US and at a state level. In California where I live we currently have a supermajority Dem state government, but regardless of this a handful of unelected bureaucrats from the Gray Davis era run everything in Sacramento behind the scenes.

The idea the DNC 'left wing' is pushing to restrict the local elite's power and tax them is laughable. They just have a few noisy straw men to placate voters and fill their air waves. (I'm a registered Dem FWIW. I loathe the party these days).

We need a big parochial political shake up!

This is it - if you hear the word "wary" and know the verb "to wear" before encountering the written word "weary" it's totally understandable to assume that is how "wary" is written and to mix them up.

What I wanted to do with my comment is show this without coming across as a mean or pedantic - especially since in the context both work ok. I've no idea if I accomplished that, I probably come across as a dick but I hope I don't.
Flint is a great example because it only gained attention because residents started complaining on social media and in public forums[0][1]. Despite widespread protest and refusal to drink the water, and mass sickness, official sources maintained that the water was safe to drink[2]. National news media picked up the story almost 2 years after the switch in water treatment systems[3]. Even still EPA officials refused to acknowledge issues with Flint water, with Obama drinking Flint water at a press conference to convince people it was safe[4]. It wasn't until 2017, 2 and a half years after the switch, that media and official consensus was that Flint constituted an emergency.

So yeah, keep your pitchforks out people!
