your concept of time is one which puts ancestry front and center as the obvious most important factor, but is in no certain terms the only method of interpretation. there are many other factors, and in fact, that reinterpretation is the point of rhizomatic thinking.

and that's exactly what we see in the article, right? if a species took a path A-B-C-D to exhibit features of D, and another took A-F-G-D and so also exhibits features of D, then isn't there more to the history there than simply genetic change via ancestry over time? there's a reason why convergent evolution is so weird and surprising.

epigenetics, for example, is an interesting manifestation of what sorts of new domains you can explore as you broaden the horizon for asking questions beyond "linear ancestry" or "natural heirarchy" - arborescent vs rhizomatic thinking. blasting out of these constraints is the process of deterritorialization/reterritorialization D&G put forward as necessary and essential.

Sources please. AFIK there is no conclusive data out there backing the idea Africa will just turn into MORE desert from climate change.

I'd also like you to provide data showing green energy initiatives will reverse this trend anytime in the near future.

Africa is an already impoverished nation, how does greater grazing area help them? Are they going to use it for large amounts of livestock they can sell/slaughter? Is that making them less impoverished right now?

What will make Africa less poor is a lot of infrastructure, likely built off the back of fossil fuels. You know.. they same way all western nations industrialized and got to the point they could sit around worrying about whether they were hurting the environment instead of worrying about whether they have enough dung to burn so they can keep warm.

+1, especially when it comes to localizing UI text. The trick with UI text is that in many languages it's not grammatically correct to begin with (GUI labels are rarely expressed in full sentences), and the terseness introduces vast amounts of ambiguity in meaning.

Like take a "Submit" button - it can mean anything from "send this request in" to "grovel in front of me" depending on context. Human localizers struggle with this, especially when the source files they're provided with do not have sufficient context (and they cannot see the GUI in-context) to infer meaning. Existing translation engines are worse.

When a Bank Fails

This "money multiplier" model is not an accurate description of how money creation actually works in modern central banking.

Besides a minimum reserve requirement, banks also have liquidity and (risk-weighted) capital adequacy requirements, which are practically much more relevant.

The 2008 financial crisis was effectively caused by "laundering"/structuring the risk weights.

Consider:

Translate the following json localization into French. Leave json keys untouched.

Which returned:

"button name": "Cliquez ici",
"instructions":"appuyez sur le bouton \"${button name}\""
}

Note that the button name remains unchanged. This is something that Google translate would do poorly.
Vpn is a short term solution and is like digging your head in the sand.
I don’t really understand what you mean. Isn’t ‘in the business of borrowing short-term and lending long-term’ like half the definition of a bank? The other half being that they are licensed by the state to do this short-term borrowing, get state guarantees for deposits, and have to follow a bunch of regulations making them almost an instrument of the state.

It feels to me like saying that evictions wouldn’t be a thing if we simply didn’t allow tenancies.

I roughly believe that if you gave people the choice between paying to store money in ‘cash but it’s a number in a database’ (ie the thing you describe) and investing it in some kind of ‘not a bank’ where they can earn interest and withdraw when they please but the big pot of money is loaned out, there might not be runs of the ‘bank’, but there would likely be runs of the ‘not a bank’.
I think you're confusing your application with the language itself.

Adding new syntax and functions to the language is not a breaking change. Old code will continue to work.

If you start using these new features in your application, and it no longer works on old browsers, then sure that's a breaking change. But that's a choice for you to make. The language is still backwards compatible.

None of these changes are that major. They don't breaking existing code.

Breaking existing code is a pretty major line to cross for anyone maintaining a language, library or tool. (Even though some people do it willy nilly....)
I moved from Gandi to Google Domains, then later to Cloudflare Domains.

CF has the most serious product out of any of them, and they sell domains at-cost as a loss-leader to get you in.
Loans by modern banks rely on the issuance of new currency; it's a scheme which relies on diluting the value of citizens' existing currency. It's unethical; it's stealing from the many to enrich the few who will receive the credit once it's spent into the economy (going into friends' businesses).

Kind of like how Carl Icahn sat on the Hertz board, made Hertz take out a huge loan, used the credit to award a huge contract to one of his other businesses and then let Hertz go bankrupt. Citizens footed some of the bill by having their savings and salaries diluted (since Carl kept the proceeds of the loan and spent it into the economy; contributing towards inflation) and of course Hertz shareholders footed most of the bill. It's just theft.

I’ve been using ChatGPT to help generate sentences for an interactive/dialog-based virtual Chinese tutor [0].

The sentences still need human vetting as it will occasionally get things wrong, but it’s a massive productivity multiplier. I’m mostly happy that it’s available via API so I can stop endlessly copying and pasting.

If you consider speech recognition/synthesis “AI”, then I try heavily on that too. I did. dabble with using Stable Diffusion to generate images to assist learning. That shows promise but it’s not a priority at the moment so I left it.

I'm surprised no one has ever made an e-ink keyboard. By this, I mean each individual key is a mini e-ink display.
Well, if you want to take the traditionally Marxist position, all that competition results in duplicate work. During the golden age of the workstation, Sun, Silicon Graphics, DEC, HP, NeXT and IBM all made workstations with separate, incompatible operating systems and CPUs. In the end, all those vendors died, and that effort was entirely wasted. It would have been much more efficient if the government had designated a single workstation vendor from the beginning, and denied CPU purchasing licenses to anyone who wanted to compete with them.
Cars once relied on fuel containing lead, which had indisputable value for those mechanical systems. Once external factors were understood and considered, it was banned through regulation, despite the value that it provided.

Keeping this technology around has external costs to our entire computing ecosystem that outweigh the benefits.
It was actually interesting to me the latest Chris Rock special which was on Netflix live recently. The first live event I've heard of Netflix doing.

It took a day to get onto the torrent sites.

So that was the first instance I've seen where buying was better than pirating.

I did see comments on the torrent sites from people who were there because their legitimate paid setup was deemed incompatible with live streams by Netflix though... Not a great incentive to keep paying.

Equally relevant only 13 countries are fabricating nuclear fuel rods.

https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/nuclear-fuel-c...
I presume the existence of this project demonstrates that the cost/benefit analysis was done and the result balanced towards “benefit”. The most recent nuclear power plant built in England produces 3200MW and costs nearly $40bn so far. This cable will carry 10,500MW and costs $22bn. The latter number doesn’t includes the solar generation, but build costs for utility-scale PV are running less than $1/watt so 10,500MW of name-plate capacity would cost only another $11bn. Even at much lower capacity factors you’re still looking at less than half the cost per MW than nuclear.
It is hilarious to me that:

1. I've never thought about this concept
2. I've never been exposed to it

This world is absolutely wild. To be clear- I fully believe you, I've just never worked at a place where we relied on VBA in a word doc lol
Higher interest rates decrease the value of long-duration bonds even in nominal terms. Think of it this way: because the interest rate on a bond is fixed at issue, and because newer bonds now have higher interest rates, your existing bonds have to be sold for less in order for someone to buy them over a newer higher-interest bond. This means that the banks' reserves have actually shrunk in value. This is made worse by the fact that the combination of low interest rates and requirements to choose safe investments means that the only way for banks to meet their cost of operations is by picking longer-duration bonds which have higher drops in value, and that they haven't been earning enough interest to really grow their reserves either.

The blog post's title says "The 24 Hour “Do Nothing” Challenge", but further into the article I think the actual challenge is made crystal clear:

> I wanted to see if I had the willpower to cut off all stimulation for an extended period of time.

That's quite a bit different than doing nothing.

I think the idea of doing nothing, or even trying to cut off all stimulation is, using your term, repulsive, because it's just so unnatural, and nearly impossible. The darkness of a dark room itself is a kind of stimulation, as much as the absence of sound or social interaction might be.

As natural humans sitting in the dark at night, we'd be totally engaged and on hight alert the instant that the familiar sounds of the night stopped, because that might signal danger. To the human brain, nearly everything has meaning, and often does so when there's no actual stimulus in the first place (for better or for worse).
If you mean StableHLO, then it has an MLIR dialect: https://github.com/openxla/stablehlo/blob/main/stablehlo/dia....

In the StableHLO spec, we are talking about this in more abstract terms - "StableHLO opset" - to be able to unambiguously reason about the semantics of StableHLO programs. However, in practice the StableHLO dialect is the primary implementation of the opset at the moment.

I wrote "primary implementation" because e.g. there is also ongoing work on adding StableHLO support to the TFLite flatbuffer schema: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorf.... Having an abstract notion of the StableHLO opset enables us to have a source of truth that all the implementations correspond to.

I think it's you that may not be realizing some things. There are a lot of bullshit degrees and bullshit fields that ChatGPT is going to destroy. And it cannot happen soon enough.

For the actual rigorous fields that require some work and effort, ChatGPT wasn't designed to replace those researchers. It wasn't designed to make sense of the data that that kind of academic research produces. It's designed to help you take the bullshit work out of the sense you've already made out of this research.

It's an assistant. That's all it is... right now.

It will eventually, and probably sooner than later, be much, much more.

> The difficult part is in training. Training in proper conditions is really hard because when those conditions are present, it's all hands on deck and the instructors can't be instructing because they're out actually deicing planes.

I've never seen it this way. In the US military, de-icing duty falls on a minimally-trained E-1/E-2. We get about an hour or two training that includes some grave warnings.

While it's inculcated in you from day one not to kill aircrews or crash planes, about the only de-icing training you get is to make sure there's no residual ice on the wings and especially it's moving surfaces (eg. flaps).

Source: I spent countless hours de-icing large military aircraft as a one-striper, in an open bucket, in blizzards. It's an experience.

Lol, I did something similar. Not saving the whole RAM, but I made a TSR to first scan memory for an integer, which would create a list of all hits. I could then rescan as soon as the number changed (your character's hp for example), and it would just filter down the list from the first scan. Repeat until you're down to one hit, and you've got your candidate for a write operation! Actually worked on a couple of games... =)
Maybe it's just an actual part they have for other reasons.
I bookmarked Kagi a while back and have been using it occasionally as a failover when other search engines fail me, wondering if it would be good enough to stick as a daily driver. So far it hasn't really stood out to me but has been decent enough to keep trying. Maybe the searches I have tried so far aren't areas that it excels at?

Whelp, after these account changes I won't find out. I absolutely don't want to have to think about metering my search queries per day and would bet that the vast majority of users feel the same.

Hopefully Kagi can figure out a way to control their costs better and/or figure out a more accessible revenue strategy. Avoiding piling on the latest AI hype would be a good start...

Because in this case it’s a bank and they aren’t selling equity to invest in new business/products.

SVB had to liquidate good assets quickly, so it sold them at a loss. That means its capitalization compared to liabilities (deposits) could be in “uh oh” territory.

So it sells capital on the open market to shore up its liquid capital. Yes, most every capital raise works mostly like this. But it’s notable here because of what it portends.
Insulation cut my mother's home energy costs by 60% this winter. And her home wasn't as poorly insulated as UK homes seems to be according to what I read (and in general, it was a bit above the average French home).

Granted, heating is around 15% of the total equivalent Co2 we use, but reducing that by 60% would prevent 8 to 9% of produced energy to be used. Also would cut costs for a lot of the poorest.

If insulating UK cost around the same price (or even more, because the windfall will be in UK taxpayer pockets), I think it should be done first.
It's not NIMBYism because it's not my backyard. It's an attempt at environmentalism and cost-benefit calculations. It might turn out to be net positive, but you can't know that unless you consider the negatives first.

This was part of why I chose Python with the last operator I wrote. Granted, it was a slow process that wasn't time-sensitive (and couldn't be paralleled), so performance wasn't a concern. Regardless, I avoided Go because of previous experiences with how hard a lack of generics made working with such things.

I'm hoping things are improving. Maybe I'll consider it for the next one I write.

An Hello World in java is a single class file of a few hundred bytes so I am not sure that is the right example. Source code is more verbose, and although I do prefer Typescript I don't find it a tragic issue.

In both cases for anything more complex you will end up with a truckload of libraries, so even there there isn't much difference.

I think that were Java is not streamlined at all is in memory usage, because you will probably be able to get the same result with a fraction of memory in Javascript (and many other languages). I'm not sure if the problem is more on the JVM (heavyweight objects and no value types?) or the libraries, I suspect both.
