The problem is that it's too complicated to get the finance department of a commercial company (where some developer is working for) to donate money to some open source library.

It could perhaps be better facilitated (through npm?) showhow. Commercial companies could register an ID at npm. Then developers at the company could use packages like:

npm install --save-dev $eW91ZGVjb2RlZHRoaXM@babel/core

Npm could provide information on which packages got donations by the company. Developers could share a link to the finance department. The finance department could see which packages are used throughout the company and choose to make some donations. The PR department could make some nice PR how well the company supports open source libraries. Package maintainers could provide informtaion if their package received donations from company $eW91ZGVjb2RlZHRoaXM.

I think the current conflict (as evidenced by how headed the discussion is on this thread) is an artifact of copyright law.

I do not believe anyone would have any issues with creating forked/adapted/refreshed versions of literary works. We do it all the time. No one reads the original Grimm tales to kids because the original versions were gruesome. Many would count as horror. We tell kids adapted versions. But since they are public domain anyone can fork these works and create new versions. There is nothing wrong with updating works to reflect current cultural mores. We always did it and will continue to do it.

The issue is that this is done by copyright holders and the new approved version replaces the old version on the bookshelves because copyright gives them a monopoly on distribution. Unless you find it used, you will no longer be able to buy the old version. Some people want the old version because it is the version they know, it is the version they grew up with and it is the version they want to pass forward and because being a authored work (instead of folk) they want the version the author wrote with all of its cultural artifacts preserved.

To make the conflict clearer, imagine that once Windows 11 (or 8, or Vista) was launched, everyone on Windows 10 (or 7 or XP) would have been force upgraded to the new version and the old version would be deauthorized. Or imagine if copyright was infinite in duration and Disney bought the rights to the Grimm tales and now only the Disney versions are authorized for commercial distribution. You would simply not be able to buy the older version.

To me this makes it even clearer that the length of copyright being longer than the life of the author is an absurdity. Culture does not belong to anyone, it belongs to all of humanity.

It seems that charging points are rated in the range 25-50kWh (depending on whether they are 'fast' or not) so one fast public charging point will pull more when in use that a standard house.

So indeed if you install 100 of them in a tourist hotspot that means peaks of 5MWh, which again I suspect would take down the whole local electric subsystem and maybe the grid has not even enough capacity in the area.

I had a course about queue theory in my SWE degree. I left the course with a deep sense of dread because I knew most people studying CS and SWE in other universities would be oblivious to such a fundamental piece of knowledge.

Basically everything that processes data has a queue attached to it, from your router to your scheduler. Not knowing anything about queue theory is such an insult to the profession of SWE. It's like being a Mech engineer and not knowing about control of dynamic systems.

If this is Steve Dekorte's Io, then the Io page that was at http://www.iolanguage.com/ stated in 2004 that it was like LISP in that "code is a runtime inspectable/modifiable tree". This is not homoiconic in terms of syntax of rather in terms of data model.

Io is so in perhaps the same way as Pico http://pico.vub.ac.be/ is because Pico expresses the code as data type though of specific types which are not normally used for user program data.
Bear in mind these are entirely different classes of products... it's not just about bandwidth.

The monitoring and SLAs alone are probably the most significant differentiators, with these kinds of services you would usually expect an engineer on site within 4 hours to fix problems, and service credits for anything breaching SLA.

I once accidentally snagged a single mode fibre pigtail while moving stuff in a rack. Everything back up after the provider engineers had re-spliced a new pigtail on in less than two hours.

This internal tool making is something that Wolfram calls out in the essay:

> Yes, a neural net can certainly notice the kinds of regularities in the natural world that we might also readily notice with “unaided human thinking”. But if we want to work out things that are in the purview of mathematical or computational science the neural net isn’t going to be able to do it—unless it effectively “uses as a tool” an “ordinary” computational system.
The problem with ChatGPT is indeed that it is trained to look like an authoritative source independent of the input query. What ChatGPT is doing is transforming the original input and filling the gaps but the gaps it filled must all be acknowledged by the original author and that is hard to impossible for a layman.
This is really great, and I'm really happy people are finally waking up to this. I've stuck with Django through all of this and never looked back. Nowadays with stuff like HTMX, things have never been better!

Could we do this for CSS-in-JS next please? With React 18 making a strong push for compiled CSS, we have libraries now that let you write CSS (compiled) using Typescript. This is also absolutely crazy to me because we COULD BE JUST WRITING CSS instead (especially with variable support).
If Blender and FreeCAD could have a baby together then that would be amazing baby.
Most of my files are private but not sensitive, so I basically just trust them for those. A few sensitive files, which don't fit on the encrypted VPS, are encrypted classically using Veracrypt. I hope Nextcloud will support encrypting externally in the future, but for my use case it's not a big deal.
> "gravity as a form of acceleration". […] The latter was Einstein's great insight. […] equating gravity and acceleration in the way Einstein did

This sounds like a gross misinterpretation of what Einstein said.

Einstein's great insight was that gravity defines inertial (i.e. non-accelerated) frames of reference. Put differently, in free fall you are not in an accelerated frame, despite what an outside observer on the surface of Earth might say. This is commonly abbreviated by "All massive bodies follow the same (inertial) trajectories in the presence of gravity, irrespective of their constitution", which is the Equivalence Principle.

What you are maybe referring to is what an observer experiences who stands still on the surface of a massive body: They can't free-fall, and so they're not in an inertial frame (= the thing defined by gravity) and thus actually accelerate upwards from the point of view of spacetime.
> It's frustrating that some ISPs make it artificially difficult for home users to obtain a BGP session

Don't worry, it can be frustrating for businesses too !

Cogent famously nickle-and-dime their customers and consider BGP to be a chargeable extra, even on their IP Transit product which is somewhere where you would expect BGP to be a given.

Of course whether you should do business with Cogent is another matter, especially given their spammy cold-calling tactics, seemingly once you're on their list you can never get off it.

I think one could further generalize your argument: the very economic role of all algorithms is misunderstood in this thread.

Maybe if we consider a less loaded class of algorithms e.g., pagerank this would help along the discussion. The adtech business model had little to do with the details of the underlying algos. Technical aspects of search algorithms may have been a catalyst that selected one of the many providers but it took completely unrelated circumstances (market structures, political and regulatory attitudes) to enable and sustain the new economic reality that ensued.

There are many older precedents that point to the very complex relationship of "algorithms" with economic value. Think e.g. trading algorithms or credit scoring or insurance models. The idea that some supergenious geek will develop an approach and "beat the market" is a recurring theme but the reality of applying algorithms to human affairs shows none of that comes to pass.
Many good points in the other comments.
One important first-order aspect that is usually meant by “excess liquidity” is central bank stimulus:
Central banks create more money (buy low risk assets) -> there is more money in the system that has to go somewhere -> more money in total has to go into riskier assets -> they are worth more.
This is a very naive equilibrium argument, and the “excess” probably just means “unusually much”, nothing deeper or technical.
Does American utilities not pay any compensation for power outages?

My local utility pays 50 EUR starting 12 hours after the start of an outage, and 4 EUR/hr after that. So a 2 day outage would pay out 200 EUR, and it all happens automatically.

There's no exceptions to this (only if you are at fault...), and this gets subtracted from their regulated revenues such that it hits the bottom line.

Naturally, most low voltage distribution lines are buried under ground
It’s even worse. The model contains the information that claims are statistically likely to be followed by a citation, for example. So when the output produces a claim, it follows up with a citation- and it completely makes that one up. It has no concept of what a citation is, or what purpose it serves or that a reader might actually go and validate that. It's just a specific sequence of words that follows a specific sequence of words.
I'd hardly call dang threatening, unless you're threatened by him politely asking you not to break the rules. And you were. If you find being politely asked to follow the rules threatening, you can politely leave.
>an open-source Stable Diffusion, which is a basis for multiple projects, including commercial Midjourney.

source? The model behind Midjourney looks quite different from Stable Diffusion, to me it looks like a model conditioned to image embeddings (like Karlo or Dalle 2) instead of text embeddings, also I don't see any mention of the Creative ML OpenRAIL-M license on their website, when they experimented with SD in August they added it but it has not been there for months, To me it is clear that MJ has trained a new diffusion model from scratch, it is also noticeable by the difference in performance, even for a model trained in AI image recognition it struggles with images generated by Nijijourney (MJ but finetuned for anime) while it has an easy time with anime images generated by SD and its finetuned models [1], which means that the distribution of images is very different.

This depends - my projects are usually small and spontaneous, my attention span is short, and not having parts to at least start means the project is dead right there.

> Because of this you cannot simply reverse the roles and say “see replace cis people with women/blacks and it sounds terrible”. Because what you have done is replace the dominant class with the oppressed class. You’ve changed the whole meaning of the thing.

I think the point they are making is that cis and trans don't work in this sort of class analysis, as the two groups are in themselves too diverse. They have to be further divided into subgroups for this to make any sense.

For example, take the most controversial subset of the transgendered: transwomen, i.e. males who identify as women. Then compare to actual female women ("cis women") - it is obvious that this maps onto the existing feminist analysis of sex class, with males being the dominant class and females the oppressed class.

Which is what makes it so problematic when these males try to impose themselves upon the spaces of actual female women, as they're engaging in male dominance behaviour that wouldn't be considered acceptable by any other man. But because we have this false cis-trans oppression hierarchy being presented to defend this, it pulls the wool over many people's eyes to what is really happening.
V_r is almost always above V_1, which is the decision speed. If you're going to abort a takeoff, that decision needs to be made before V_1, otherwise you're likely to overrun the end of the runway.

There's some truth to this, but on the other hand I find it cost effective and useful in the long run to build up inventory by cheap kits.

For example, if I need specific resistor (and don't have any high precision/tolerance/current requirements — i.e. 90% of hobby projects) I could buy online:

- 10 of them for maybe £3

- 100 of them for around £6

- a kit containing 1000 resistors of 25 different values for <£12

Not only is the last option exponentially better value, but it means that I almost certainly don't need to buy anything the next 10 or more times I need a resistor. There are a good number common components, fittings, etc. that I've found this works for.

If you're doing specific high frequency, RF, hifi, etc. stuff, this approach might not work so well, but for other hobby electronics, messing around with microcontrollers and the like it's served me well.
Your example doesn’t make any sense. The entire reason for the US Fed’s interest rate is to dictate the lower nominal bound of market returns in global capital markets. The FedFunds rate is the risk free rate, thus the market rate of return cannot be lower than this rate. Ie. The public equity market will return risk free rate + market risk premium.

A better explanation would be:

A pension funds needs to achieve long term nominal returns of 5% to meet liabilities.

Fed funds rate is suddenly set to 0%, and treasury curve peaks at 2%.

Market risk premium is 5% for public equities.

Market risk premium is 10 % for private equities.

To reach target returns while anticipating volatilities, it must allocate capital towards both public and private equities. This is the “sloshing”. Simple mathematics.

Side note: any retail investor can access the risk-free rate (very close to it, minus transaction costs/expenses) through large money market funds. ie. https://investor.vanguard.com/investment-products/mutual-fun...
> If you have 200 million users, 0.25% is 500 000 people. You may think it's not much, but most cities on Earth have fewer people than that. And it's 0.25% IE, and 0.25% QQ, and 0.25% that Samsung browser from 2014, and... And suddenly you have 5 million people using outdated browsers.

Yes but I’m still not convinced it makes economic sense for companies to support those users. Those users are signalling a clear aversion to technology and technology purchases. So how many sales or subscriptions are they getting from those 5 million people? Because a 0.5% conversion rate on 5 million people is 25,000 sales. Is that worth it for a company of that size and does it cover the development and management costs?

And I see what you’re saying about access for governments sites but the government routinely hires contractors for £500 or more a day and the cost of a new iPad is £369. You would probably save more money loaning people on benefits a bottom of the range ipad and just supporting safari and chrome rather than throwing manpower and money supporting old browsers. Everyone involved gets a better experience (other than the contractors who aren’t needed any more).
I am sorry to disappoint but I think consciousness is the one thing that we will never be able to solve physically. It is perhaps the only thing that is true about that universe, that I somehow exists. Everything else is simply derived from that and might as well be an illusion (perhaps a very consistent and steady illusion).

> It really deserves more attention and awareness among geeks and the general public.

There's 0 interest in consciousness because it's so hard to pay attention and realize that it exists. We go about our days for weeks, months, years and even decades without even noticing that consciousness is a thing.
I used BMI as a tool to see how much I was losing since I started eating less, to help me set goals and reach 'healthy' levels.

32->28 took a bit more than a year. I remember I weighted myself because I was able to walk two hours without ankle pain (the last hour was a bitch), and I started doing sports other than sailing/windsurfing/kayaking.

The 28->26 took three years, with a lot more sport than I used too. I'm still overweight but my waist/hip ratio is under 1 (barely) and I have less ankle pain and respiratory issues than I used too. I think I really stopped being obese in this range.
