Does anyone track all the legit weather balloons? I feel like pretty soon now someone is going to realize there are hundreds or thousands of innocuous civilian owned objects that the Pentagon doesn't have real-time knowledge of and shooting them down willy-nilly is going to make for a big brouhaha.
That's from low blood pressure and/or electrolyte imbalance. So drink more fluid supplemented with electrolytes. You can also take a spoonful of a pure fat like coconut oil or ghee in the morning or in between a meal to help with any hunger pain.

You don't faint from low blood sugar, you faint from low blood pressure. If you were losing consciousness from low blood sugar you're gong to start convulsing and having seizures, afaik.

In normal homeostasis, insulin lowers blood sugar as needed and glucagon raises it. There is always a balance being made between the two I believe.
Dare I ask, what was your DALL-E Prompt? It looks pretty spot on for a CEO stereotype, which itself is kinda disturbing if the prompt is generic.

It's several times more than that when you add up all the related divisions that are purposely separated.

ie. Homeland Security is military. Not part of the Pentagon budget.

But 2000 balloons would be a billion dollars if they keep using sidewinders because "they can so why not".
I don't think the article is implying "for no other purpose than fun". More like, for no other _apparent_ purpose than fun.

> If we have convinced ourselves that rational explanation of action can consist only of treating action as if there were some sort of self-serving calculation behind it, then by that definition, on all these levels, rational explanations can’t be found.

I think that this is one of the main point of the article - we can't simply explain away all of our behavior as some rational explanation. Not all play is merely for evolutionary adaption, and not all play has a purpose. Why does one puppy prefer to destroy a chew toy as play, and the other merely to squeak the squeaker?

Wow, I sure hope this is funny to people whose layoffs do exist?
You might like some of the work being done under the label "Factored Cognition". It's an approach that treats LLMs as building blocks instead of being complete AIs. Instead of asking the LM to solve a problem directly in one pass, you ask it to divide the problem between several different virtual copies of itself, which then themselves subdivide further, and so on until each subtask is small enough that the LM can solve it directly. For this to work the original problem needs to be acyclic and fairly tree-like, i.e., not something that requires having a sudden "Eureka!" moment to solve.

But I've only seen this done with a single model. Sometimes it gets prompted to act like a different agent in different contexts, or given API access to external tools, but it's still just one set of weights.
Just wanted to say I bookmarked windmill a couple weeks ago and am really excited to try it out.
This used to be true, but changed dramatically.

The relevant term is „energy intensity“, measuring how much energy is needed per unit of GDP. It has been improving for quite a while now, see, for example https://www.aceee.org/blog/2015/12/what-energy-intensity-and...

I want to learn PCB design, mostly with ARM and ESP based designs. How would I learn basics? I know theory part but I really couldn't figure out why they determine which component and which value they have to use. I mean there are resistors, capacitors all over the place but I really want to learn reason behind it. Also I guess there are some basics related power, battery, UART, USB etc. Is there any source that covers all of these concepts?
I would argue that it provides liquidity solely to whoever placed that resting order. But it takes it from the rest of the market.
I took the time to learn KiCad and I am glad I did. Not being familiar with comparable tools like Eagle, it was very non-intuitive to me. I resisted what I think of as a kind of forced workflow with tools like these. My sense though is that it is kind of the way the industry just is with perhaps CAD packages in general and with electronic/PCB CAD tools specifically.
> I want to make it very clear that this decision was not my fault - I blame the people who made the bad decisions that led us to this point.

Sounds about right.
> That doesn't change the fact that first and cleaner renewable energy source is consumption reduction.

1) That's not a fact

2) That sentence doesn't make any sense grammatically

3) Consumption reduction = lower quality of life & health for poor people (the rich have 0 interest in consumption reduction... do you see the davos crowd turning in their private jets?)
I think it's fair to look at what you need to make it happen. Do you invest in the folks you have, paying for their training on your cloud of choice? (I personally have found even baseline training for a cloud essential to understand effective usage patterns) Or do you hire new folks who already have the training in said cloud, but now need to be sourced and brought up to speed? Both cost money, and we haven't even reached the design phase.

IMHO, whether by design or by accident, cloud solutions have only gotten more complicated with the sheer volume of choices you must make. Remember when AWS could fit its entire offering in a single hamburger menu drop down?
I dunno. If you offered to make my body un-aging, I'd much rather take what will certainly be a longer journey than what I have to just hope for. Why go through contortions to accept death as the opposite of what it clearly looks like when it's so much more straightforward to just reject death and go do the engineering to conquer it?

Wow, that is a really beautiful effect. It's neat that you can rotate the lighting and add aerial / atmospheric perspective as well.

Something I wonder about, after doing a lot of 3D work for various projects--have they considered other options like:

- Local time-of-day light model + suggested add-on light model? (Like if it's dark, use some light-assist model)

- Rendering snow, fog levels, etc. as available?

- Offering a switch to something other than white light?

That last one was a big point of learning for me in terms of painting with light, as just a touch of hue makes a big difference, and I wonder if it would be interesting for map users. But at the same time I recognize that in terms of traditional map relief, the standard is more like white light.

Anyway: Nice job & thanks for showing it to us.

I'm 100% in the "let's make clean energy too cheap to meter" camp. Get rid of anti-dumping legislation and let China subsidise as much solar panel production as they can! Build wind farms everywhere! Long distance HV transmission between climate zone should be so common that people don't keep thinking it isn't in use now! (And yes, it would be great if we can get fusion working)

But we aren't there yet. Until we are we need to both increase efficiency and increase renewables.

Google in particular should be praised for their work in subsidizing renewable energy generation[1] by guaranteeing energy purchases from renewable projects[3]. This guaranteed income stream is often what gets them off the ground, and the higher carbon-free energy usage from Google's data centers than the energy markets they are in is great to see[1].

However, that shouldn't preclude journalists from keeping that energy usage in people's minds.

> So, tell me again about why everything is the fault of "The West", including all the western countries who have never attacked anyone, in your mind?

Not the person you're responding to, but I think it is important to recognize that the US is practically the military of The West (and some more like Japan and Korea), or rather those on the side of democracy in the cold war. Lots of this is because after a bunch of very big wars in Europe (Napoleonic Wars, WWI, WWII) -- and a bunch of smaller wars -- the countries essentially decided that it was best to have smaller militaries and out source it to somewhere that didn't have a long history of border disputes. Helped that the US already had a strong military, were an ocean away, and their bordering neighbors aren't major competitors. On the flip side, the USSR was essentially this same thing but for the communist side (till China started to rise in power). Some military historians suggest that the rise of super powers was a big component for the long peace. There's a lot to this history that's way more complicated than can be put in a singular comment and involves much more of the globe than just Europe (even the US's, Mexico's, and Canada's independences rely and exacerbated on these conflicts). People use this history to write a wide variety of narratives.

Anecdotally, after working on a cloud based solution that has seen some success in adoption, it seems there's just a general pressure on businesses to have a "cloud solution". Whether that is from top down management or 'industry pressure' is unclear to me, but it certainly motivated some big spending.

In some ways I think it follows trivially from the law: energy has been redirected away from the-thing-you-want and towards the-thing-you-measure.

Unless you think effort spent on the metric increases the total energy of the system, anyway. Personally I would bet it pretty much always decreases it, not even breaking even.

The word "open" in your custom definition of "open source" is quite vague, open to whom and open in what ways?

The OSI says those should be "whoever receives a copy of the binaries" and "open to read/run/modify/distribute for original/modified versions".

The OSI definition is much more useful to me as a software user and programmer than any other definition I have seen.
I think people are always looking to dismiss emerging technologies. AI is especially scary to many people that read newspapers (and this site); it's going to listen to press releases and write newspaper articles, it's going to illustrate them, and it's going to write the FactoryFactoryInterfaceAdaptor that serves the content to the public. So pretty much everyone involved in this discussion has to fight it or lose their career. (I think that's pretty far away, but I can't blame people for being paranoid here.)

What happens in these cases is that people look for reasons why the emerging technology is objectively bad, and then throw out arguments and see which ones stick. Electricity usage implies climate change, and that's a popular fear to play on right now. "This thing that's going to kill your career is also why hurricanes are stronger now!" Of course, that is only partially true; maybe AI isn't the problem and driving 60 miles a day in stop-and-go-traffic to go to work is what we really need to crack down on. But, that sort of thing is 70 years old and people are comfortable with it, so there isn't much persuasion left to do; people know it's bad and do it anyway. Meanwhile, climate change was a huge problem before the phrases "Bitcoin" or "deep learning" were ever coined, so it's kind of weird to blame them.

This sort of complaining is also easy. Sure, with more electricity users coming online, we worry about the cost going up. The cost going up is good for killing energy intensive activities that you don't like; eventually it won't be profitable to mine Bitcoins or train AIs. But the cost going up also affects other industries that we DO like; poorer people heating their homes can't absorb the cost, or industries like aluminum smelting can't absorb the cost. So now we want to distribute resources with some system other than "the highest bidder wins", and you know what that means! Time to involve the government! But the government is terrible at reacting to things like this, and even though regulation is obviously the globally optimal path forward, it moves too slowly to really make a difference. By the time we charge data centers more for electricity, AI will have taken your jobs and the East Coast will be underwater.

(Meanwhile, many data centers are powered by cheap renewable hydroelectricity anyway and so aren't causing climate change. They can build their AI training data centers near a hydroelectric dam, but people aren't going to move their family so they can get cheaper electricity or spend less energy commuting to work or whatever. I'm not sure where this all leads, but it does feel like appointing a boogeyman to blame instead of actually fixing the problem. This goes back to my opening argument about seeing which argument sticks. If you don't look into things too deeply, you have a nice set of rules that leads to an obvious action. I don't like Bitcoin because the existing system works OK. Bitcoin uses a lot of electricity. Some energy use changes the climate. The changing climate kill us all. So we'd better kill Bitcoin. A simple path from "I don't like it" to "kill it before it kills us". Get out your pitchforks!)

Nothing you've said has any relevance to this discussion. Regardless of what kind of leverage you use, if you're the one using it then you can end up with a negative balance putting you in debt. Case closed.

As for your other comment trying to be pedantic about funds owning three stocks, there are numerous publicly traded leveraged funds that trade just a single stock, one single stock [1]. They are known as single-stock ETFs and the purpose of these funds is specifically to provide an indirect form of leverage to investors. For example, IRA accounts are forbidden from using leverage, but someone can use an IRA account to purchase a leveraged ETF including a single stock ETF.

Naomi Wolf – The Pain of Listening to Twitter Censorship Testimony
I don't think it's as prevalent as you think. I have a phone, but filter out websites that require a phone number and provide no other option. I simply "nope out" and move on, because those sites are never essential (at least here in Europe).

I always think it's probably a good indication of the quality of thought that's gone into the underlying system too. SMS is pretty insecure, so if they think that's sufficient for security and provide no alternatives, who knows what else they're doing under the hood.
For designing with basic components I recommend starting with microcontrollers on a breadboard. There's plenty of great youtube channels that talk about this stuff as well, like GreatScott and Ben Eater
OK, so they are using an "async" system to simulate a thread-oriented system with blocking. You can do that, but why?

The primitive they've created is roughly equivalent to QNX messaging. That's a synchronous send message and wait for reply system, like REST. It just has a lot less overhead, and can be used both on the same machine and remotely. QNX lets you have multiple clients talking to the same server, and multiple servers serving the same connection port.

People keep re-inventing this, but not improving it much. For this to really work well, the message passing has to be integrated with the CPU dispatcher, so that every interprocess call doesn't put you back to the end of the line for the CPU. That's what nobody seems to get right.
why are these events always forecasted so late? some hours earlier i could have witnessed it
I might not have an answer you'll find convincing, since this is somewhat subjective, as the "should" here isn't based on a "need". The best analogy I can give here is that you don't "need" to, for example, avoid circular references in Python. Some believe it's better design to avoid them if you can. I find value in making things, say, more predictable and deterministic when possible.

Like what, for example? Well, one very simple yet practical one is that when you break into your program with a debugger, you want to minimize noise - any thread or object that's alive unnecessarily is, at the very minimum, extra noise for you to deal with, and at worst, extra surface for a bug to creep in. Moreover, the liveness of the thread/object could provide you with a vital bit of information that you otherwise wouldn't get. Another one is the fact that it lowers the number of obstacles you'll have in the future if you ever want to do something less common - such as suspending a GC, snapshotting the program state, or any number of less common things. Yet another one is the very fact that following the pattern more broadly helps you and future maintainers avoid pitfalls that arise in similar abstractions, like they did here. I could go on, but all of these concerns are basically a bunch of things whose values mostly lie in the potential future, not the present.

There are many other more practically-minded folks who believe the presence of a GC exempts them from caring about such concerns, and see these as adding extra complexity. If you see it that way, I don't have a compelling rebuttal. But if "complexity" is your criterion, perhaps what I can offer is that you can also view it from the opposite standpoint: following the fork-join pattern (or avoiding circular references, etc.) itself avoids complexities that arise from not doing so [1], such as those in the previous paragraph. It's just that not every form of complexity or cost materializes immediately.

[1] Note that complexity is not just a measure of code size, but also the deviation of its behavior from expectation. You can make code more complex to reason about merely by deleting some lines, and that could include a thread.join() call.
The Unmitigated Pedantry dude (shows up on this site a bit) makes a decent argument that chemical weapons mostly were abandoned because they don’t work against top-tier militaries, not really because we decided wars should be polite after WW1.

Nicky Case does really exceptional work in the area of interactive articles. https://ncase.me/trust/ - this is a link to a Game Theory primer called the evolution of trust.

It's just such an excellent example of the potential of interactive articles. And, it did manage to go modestly viral.

She calls them explorable explanations. If someone is going to go to the relatively great effort of making interactive articles, she has linked some articles on the creative process for interactive formats that can really help play to the strengths of the format (or maybe better put as lack of format).

It is not self-evident to me that QoL improvements are necessarily driven by increased energy consumption. Not having read J. Storrs Hall, I do not have any specific rebuttals to that.

When I have heard such assertions before, I dug a little and found it was based on extrapolation. Sorry, if that isn't implicit in yours or J. Storrs Hall's thinking.

Ultimately, any system that seems to grow exponentially will eventually be found to have been on an S-Curve. We can argue the timing of reaching the plateau after the fact, but it is certain that no system can continue to grow exponentially indefinitely. Nor should it have to.

Global human population for instance should start to reverse centuries of growth this century. In the case of population flattening, perhaps we can agree this is to the good. I would argue much the same about energy consumption.
