You’re absolutely correct that in this area, his dynamic berm fits the hydrology, and that these are not good solutions in other places.

Examples:

- If the coast is too steep, the rocks won’t reach an equilibrium, and you now just have erosion of rock before your erosion of sand.

- If egg-laying sea/coastal life needs sand like sea turtles or some birds

- Surfers and tourism (as you mentioned)

- If the sand erosion is acting as a source for something downstream; stopping the sand movement will cause erosion in that area (nourishing the beach with sand would probably be a better fit)

>> You are rarely space or weight limited

Yes and no. In a commercial context, with installation at ground level, space isn't an issue. On commercial buildings, again roof space is often plentiful, and not an issue.

But for residential, with pitched roofs, often pitched it the wrong direction, space is a major factor.

Alas residentials are also the most price-sensitive.

And this is before we discuss the assumption that US panels would be "better". In truth they are likely to be less effecient, not more effecient.

So true. I live in an area that was clearcut a century ago. The battle of the first movers vs the usurpers is well underway if you know what to look for. It's a fight to the death, in very very slow motion.
I’ve been working on building a web hosting platform.

https://github.com/symkat/MyJekyllBlog - It’s centered around hosting Jekyll blogs. It supports having paid user accounts (Stripe), building sites (uses podman containers), deploying built sites to web servers, obtaining SSL certificates for the sites it hosts.

It’s been really fun to work on.

I Don't think you can make that call for all CEO's of Banks 1873.
I have several ideas (with no scientific basis, just observation) on what drives the behavior. Old people today lived through some much leaner times than we are accustomed to, so having easily accessible cash is appealing. They don't care to deal with investment complexity. And they have this kind of money in a checking account because it just accumulated through routine saving over the course of 50 years; it's habit.

Plus, their situations are different from a typical younger person today. All of the folks in my family who keep large amounts of cash in their checking account are mostly not relying their own savings to live. They all have pensions and social security, they're not pulling from an IRA at this point. They've never had the habit of directly investing in their own retirement.

Loans aren't a bad thing as long as they are effectively collateralized.

First (and only) attempt to use it produces a query way off base.

I'd go into details, but frankly I've gotten bored with GPT because in literally every case where I ask it to produce some statement of fact (as opposed to generate pleasant-sounding nonsense, at which it excels) it comes back with something either obviously wrong, or perhaps sort of correct (but ultimately inadequately so).

Hibernation requires a copy of your RAM to be stored on disk. Compressed RAM alone can be used with traditional sleep mode, but hibernation won't work.

That said, you can combine ZRAM and swap files/partitions. You need to make sure the priorities are in the right order, though, and maybe you need to script your system to disable and flush zram to swap on hibernate and enable it again on resume, but that way you can do hibernation together with ZRAM.
This is very sad to see and I wish Dianna and her family the very best for her recovery. I'm into year three of long COVID (ME/CFS) and was fortunate to not reach this level of severity, and to have improved slowly with time to mostly housebound rather than bedbound, but it is a remarkable disease.

The name does it little justice, and fatigue - while certainly pathological and disabling - is not the primary feature. The disease appears unique in terms of an abnormal response to exertion. This has been characterised via two-day cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Healthy controls and even those with other severely limiting diseases will show improvement on day 2, but ME/CFS uniquely shows a reduction on the second day.

Other key features are orthostatic intolerance with demonstration of reduction in cerebral blood flow in the majority on sitting/standing. Neurological symptoms including extreme sensitivity to light and sound explain her blindfold and ear protectors. Many have fluctuating cognitive slowing ("brain fog").

New insights into the metabolic derangements are being gained. Recently[1] evaluation of urine metabolomics demonstrated that healthy sedentary controls excrete many metabolites at 4 and 24 hours following an exercise challenge, while ME/CFS patients do not.

Apart from the devastating effects on patients and the economic impacts of losing so many from the workforce[2], I believe that understanding the immune and metabolic derangements underlying this condition will lead to major insights across many health domains.

If even half of what we're hearing about GPT 4 comes to fruition then we're going to know in the next year or two tops if the scaling hypothesis is true or not.

If it's true, then we're going to have something very similar to the Star Trek computer by the end of the decade at the latest.

If it's false, then we're probably going to enter another AI winter this decade.

There was an article a while back about placing solar panels on California aqueducts. This wasn’t really worth the cost in the analysis, until you considered preventing water loss from evaporation and saving on canal cleaning. I expect solar power from the ocean would lose money, if floating it on land is barely profitable.

methinks you underestimate just how bad health care costs are in the US, especially for entrepreneurs who tend to not be able to afford good insurance. On top of that, where's the money coming for rent, power, food, etc? Her husband is a full time caretaker now so... he's not bringing in anything.

Yes, there's value in supporting the things you said, but ~9k patrons to support a creator who isn't creating, and her husband, and her medical costs and andandand... that's not actually very much, especially if she lives in a major city in the US where rent is frequently ridiculous.
I think this is exactly what’s happening. Physical manufacturing moving to low cost countries also plays a role.

If we want to not lose (or should I say restore?) the ability to manufacture stuff in the US this trend has to be broken somehow.

Instead of using concrete jax or tetrapods (as Japan does) they're basically using what would amount to concrete demolition debris (and natural rocks of different sizes) to shore up the coastline which is receding due to the damming of the Columbia River (which prevents sedimentary deposits) as evidenced from photos from the early 1900s --but despite that the author goes on to attribute it to sea level rise but never providing how much it rose by the 1900s or even today which would be informative, but I have suspect it's just the author's conjecture.

Another possibility is that the ME/CFS diagnosis is correct, but it's unrelated to the covid-19 infection. I think the initial symptoms of ME/CFS are sometimes mild and ignored, and it's difficult to have a definite starting day and be sure it didn't star before the covid infection, or started after but is unrelated.
I’m surprised the article presents an argument that welfare spending has increased from 1980 ($1,015) to 2016 ($3,419) as if that’s a big increase without even mentioning inflation.

Using the BLS CPI calculator:

https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=1015&year1=198...

$1,015 in 1980 is equivalent to $3,091 in 2016 dollars. So, it’s only a small relative increase, and as the article points out, it was mainly for Medicaid:

> Most of this increase was due to health care spending, and Medicaid in particular. But even if we exclude Medicaid from the calculation, we find that federal investments in means-tested programs increased by 130 percent from 1980 to 2018, from $630 to $1,448 per person.

$630 in 1980 has the same buying power as $2,007 in 2018. So it’s actually a reduction in spending outside of healthcare.

If the non-starvation examples are all dictatorships, then what's your point here?

I agree that it's possible for capitalism to exist without "usury". Definitions of "usury" tend to define it as "unreasonably high interest rates". Interest rates right now are like 7%, which isn't particularly high and certainly isn't "unreasonably" high.

The GFC isn't relevant to what's going on here. This is an entirely different (indeed in many ways an opposite) set of problems.

Interesting!

I went on a similar journey recently with debian and FDE on luks2, which involved a fair amount of learning and messing around, but I got there. No Btrfs though, just plain old ext4+swap volumes using lvm on luks2, and a small uefi partition.

My /boot is encrypted so I enter the LUKS2 passcode before grub can even access its config, and I've rolled an unlock key into the initramfs (which is loaded by grub from the encrypted partition) so that I don't have to enter it twice. The only cleartext stuff is /boot/efi.

Next project is secure boot, but so far I have failed to add a MOK to my system (it just doesn't seem to persist for some reason), and I've not got any further than shim->grub->FAIL.

Hibernate is less interesting, and apparently unsupported using secure boot anyway.

I was expecting that kind of twist too because I’ve seen it in so many companies: Heroic old timer doing the job of 4 engineers because the poor performers were not carrying their own weight. One of the poor performers, instead of doing his work, spends his time schmoozing, boasting, and bullshitting his managers, who then reward him with promotion and fire the old timer. The team falls apart because they fired the only person doing anything, and the brown-noser successfully blames the ex-old-timer.

With every project, I'm always learning something new. I went from building projects with dozens of files to less than 10 and try to keep it to just a single page. I went from spending months on projects to spending no more than a month on a single project, sometimes taking up to just two weeks to complete. I think it's the lessons of sticking to the logic and getting straight to the point with programming.

If there was anyone who helped me become a better programmer, it was my first tyrant boss, who was a complete asshole. I adopted his practices: write out what you want your program to do. What is its purpose? What does it do? How does it operate? Who will use it? Why? What will they pay for it? What will it look like? What pages will it have? Does it need these pages? And a bunch of other questions. It really helps to save a ton of time and keep you on focus.

He said to me: "You waste more time jumping into a program without direction than one where you spend a weekend just outlining what your program should actually do."

Really great advice that helped me write many programs.

I've worked under an engineering leader for a few years now that I think must get a bonus to meet every quarterly goal. Others must also, based on their behavior around these events. I've felt the weight of the team being so understaffed for the workload for so long that I've pendulum swung from high morale (i.e this is important good work) to such an abyss of low morale. I'm having a hard time shaking it and I could really stand to be more productive on things I find interesting and important about the work. I guess this article resonated with me enough to post about it. Makes you weary after awhile.

Very intensive with cardio. A big wall climb is probably 2-3k vertical feet or more of climbing. That's like climbing hundreds and hundreds of floors in a building (but even steeper and harder).

Supervision requires knowing the results you want.

Most of these ML projects are essentially just creating a best fit line/shape connecting a huge number of points in multiple dimensions and giving you output coordinates on that line/shape based on your input coordinates (as I understand it). The more supervision, the more you’re negating the value, as you’re basically telling it to make a shape more like something you already understand (instead of something new/actually generative, which requires interesting/novel human input)

I’m not an ML expert either, and if one wants to chime in about how this picture I’m painting is wrong or what else is going on that would be welcome. I’m not trying to belittle how impressive progress has been (I have no idea how the parameters are determined and have a huge amount of respect for people able to handle a hyper-dimensional best fit optimization problem). But I don’t see how all the value isn’t inevitably downstream of high quality human generated digital content, which seems likely to decrease rapidly as more automated content floods the internet and lowers incentives for creators.
There is actually a wikipedia article about the technique in the article, which mentions the locations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_revetment

Note that all the projects mentioned are along the US Pacific coast. So I don't think you are being a naysayer, as much as pointing out that it is not useful everywhere.

I live on the east coast of Florida, and we have similar problems to Gold Coast with infrastructure blocking the longshore drift of sand. Sand is constantly in need of replenishment in locations say, south of Port Canaveral. I wonder if we will ever have a property right to the river of sand in the same way that water rights are enforced upon rivers. I seem to remember a method proposed of placing wave attenuators just past the break as a way of depositing sand, but unfortunately I cannot remember the name of it and could not find it through a quick search. I was hoping that we might try this method where I live.
