I agree with you. But I caution -- shipping lng is not something that Canada does or will do. Canada's stated goal is to TRY to ship hydrogen. Dangerous as that is. Yes, fertilizer production becomes "one of the last sectors to use fossil fuels". I see no other path. Of course, THAT has to be transported. As does the food produced... That entire chain relies on fossil fuels. A simple bet -- I invest in NatGas and pipelines. The IPCC may not advocate fertilizer reduction... Canada does. No LNG to Europe (for now). Canadian farmers are told to cut fertilizer use by 50%... or else. Market and production controls will be put into place.

And, it is NOT CLEAR that the current perturbations are CO2 related: Snow in Miami on Jan 19, 1977 would be an interesting case (in my lifetime, anyway).

As to the IPCC reports AND the local media reaction -- the Toronto Star reports that Canada will have to CUT CO2 emissions in half.

Here are the numbers:

2T per year for each human:

840lbs to 6710lbs (resting to active) exhalation. Which means, not below 0.5T/year/human.

We are at 20T/year/human here in Canada -- but, of course, at 8953 trees/human, with each tree absorbing 48lbs of CO2/year, Canada absorbs 215T/year/human (carbon negative in Canada by 195T/year/human).

Cutting in half? 10T/year pure human, or 205T/year. But, we are on track to "100 by 100" that is, the Federal Govt here wants 100M people in Canada by 2100. With an additional 30M people (putting the immigration growth in line with the climate objectives), the budget for each human is... well under 5T/year. Not just 1/2, 1/4 (by the specified date) How is THAT to be accomplished? What is interesting (if you have been following the numbers here) is that EVEN at the target date, NO MATTER WHAT the Government does, Canada is still "Carbon Negative". Go figure. It isn't even a problem here.

Solar, I guess... Won't be wind here... Oh, we are too far North for Solar to be that effective. Burn trees , just like our ancestors. That goes over really well... My bet is NatGas. Maybe Nuclear.
The comparison with doctors is irrelevant because there is a fixed amount of conditions to fix (and hence a fixed demand for doctors) hence the capping, while there is no such thing for software engineers.

If there was a sudden influx of 5000 doctors, we’d end up with 5000 doctors seating idle.

I doubt the same would happen with 5000 engineers.
Thanks a lot for this. Your response is appreciated by someone and I want you to know it <3
The City is unusual in many ways well-covered elsewhere.
It’s worth highlighting that this milestone is part of a long and well-planned strategy.

North Americans especially might be surprised at how aggressively they are removing motor vehicles from the district (Down over 50% since 1999). New developments are very pedestrian and cycle friendly- eg my large workplace build five—odd years ago had 500+ bike spaces, desks for 5,000 and a single digit number of car parking spaces (for VVIPs and disabled staff only) - they are also converting many streets back to vehicle-free open spaces. This is all quite popular and mostly uncontroversial.
No mentions about how it compares to GPT, anyone tried it out and have some experience to share?
What are the options, really? Option A is business as usual. Option B is a massive cut in energy consumption.

Option A implies at some point in the future, massive social unrest due to mass migration.

Option B implies massive social unrest today due to a large decline in standard of living. And no, it won’t be the “people in capitals” suffering here.

Option C is option A plus some geoengineering that will likely be undertaken when the situation is desperate enough.
Nuclear plant tritiated water is not concentrated to saleable quantities. The expense is from concentrating it. Sadly that doesn't help when it's mixed into the groundwater when a concentrated leak and a diffuse leak would both mix in about the same way.
I would have been interested if the author had expanded on how they planned to use the borrow checker to avoid multiple listeners using the same IP address. I haven’t used rust much outside of some self learning but in other language I’d simply mutex/lock, how can the borrow checker at compile time validate that each listener cannot get the same value of a hash set?

A lot of these bullet points apply equally well in Haskell. Automatically derived JSON serialization from records, typed (and compose-able) SQL queries, whole-program feedback from the compiler; etc.

Especially the all-important advice: use Haskell when everyone on your team uses and wants to learn Haskell! Can't stress that enough. From experience, even when a language has all of the technical features to merit consideration for a project, what your developers are already familiar with will trump them all.

I wish it were a purely technical decision what language to use for a project but it's not. "Use the right tool for the job," is not the right advice for choosing a language. It's a social/network-effects type of decision.
The moral hazard is already in place.

See SVB's stock price in the last few years. The signal is clear to banking execs: take on risk, show growth metrics, and the stock market will reward you.

If your salary is tied to stock price, and whatever risky behavior you adopt won't show up for years, you have no real incentive to play nice.

Banking execs are not going to stick around at the same bank forever. Do a 3 year tenure, pump up the stock, get paid, and gtfo with someone else left holding the bag.
That's why I included the link. I didn't say that most of them were being protective for religious reasons. Just that they made a decision out of a desire to be protective. That's both of the first two categories (31% and 30%) and I'm sure some of the remainder. Of course some parents are overprotective. And I get that about the local schools sucking but who's providing a superior alternative and are you sure they are?

I'll take your word for it on the homeschooling families you knew. I knew plenty myself and saw the opposite.

I have to shower at least once a day anyways, so it doesn't really make a difference if I do that before or after my commute. In fact when I drive to work I usually spend the first couple minutes in the shower just staring at the wall waking up- when I bike to work I'm much more efficient.

The only downside is that on warmer days if I have something going on in the evening I'll sometimes need to shower again when I get home, but IMO it's still worth it considering that my roundtrip commute is maybe 60 minutes by bike vs 50 minutes by car, and if I commute by car I don't get the free workout

Ask HN: Replacing AWS S3+CloudFront with Cloudflare R2?
We serve a few hundred TB of data via AWS S3 with Cloudfront in front of it each month, which costs us quite a lot of money for the data transfer. Cloudflare R2 seems to be the perfect alternative, with their S3 compatible API, egress being free [1] and the ability to put a custom domain in front of the bucket - which then activates Cloudflare CDN [2] for optimized latency (which is then equivalent to using Amazon's Cloudfront).

Has someone here done this before and can share their experience?

I am specifically interested in the latency aspect. S3+Cloudflare has been excellent there, and I would love to understand if we would take a significant hit by migrating to Cloudflare R2.

And Germany is tiny compared to the US.

A farm in Germany is how far of a drive from the nearest city?

In the US you could drive 10 hours from a farm to get to the nearest large city. Suburbs and tiny cities are what farms need to survive.
Reminds me of Spotify's old client plugin sdk, which was super cool. Just a big js toolkit.

> The whole UFO / UAP thing is a psyop. As to what such a psyop is supposed to achieve is beyond me though.

I've always suspected that the "show and tell" had to do with securing funding or status for the program(s). Can the dumps of footage and breathless claims be related to budget cycles or some predictable bureaucratic wrangling?

The ancestor program, AATIP (2007), was the pet project of a senator and was funded for five years. It seems to have been resurrected or reconstituted multiple times, most recently as AARO in 2022. I presume these programs are populated with true believers who find themselves in the unpleasant situation of needing to demonstrate some value for the public largess.
> FFS, stuff I downloaded from Node _5m ago_ is already deprecated.

There's really no reason to use hyperbole to make your point. And besides, Node and Java aren't very different in their release policies. Node follows a standard LTS structure where every other release is an LTS, and Java follows a standard LTS structure where every third release is an LTS. If anything, that means more versions of Node are supported for longer without backwards incompatible changes.

Superlinear Speedup in HPC Systems: why and when? [pdf]
Very fun project that I'll probably use. However i can't get the website to connect on mobile.
I see and hear way more crazy things now than at any point in my life, even from people I consider fairly smart. COVID made people distrustful of everything. So, I am going to strongly disagree. What you're talking about is social evolution, I am talking about people believing things such as the derailing in Ohio being on purpose to distract from x, y and z. People get pieces of information, and then hear it spun in a way that is completely false. There are millions of people that believe this stuff.

That is very new, at least in how far spread it is. There are people that think there is no war in Ukraine at all and this is all a "Wag the Dog" situation. If you aren't hearing these things, go to a local bar and bring it up. I guarantee you will find people you'd not suspect believing something absolutely devoid from reality, even in "blue" areas. You will be shocked at the volume of people that agree or chime in with something even more crazy. It is something I've noticed which started around 2020, and it's very alarming.

With AI this will become even more confusing and widespread, as it's easier and easier to fake things or come up with "facts" written in long form that aren't based in reality at all. Gen Z might become immune to this, but every other generation before it? I don't think so. Now imagine millions of people that believe things like this that now have no job, or if they do it's lower paying. It has the potential to be very bad. This might not happen in 2023 or even 2025, but at the speed AI is currently moving, it can't be more than a decade away from massive displacement and realism in generation that will threaten many threads of society.
To me, the answer will always boil down to “because we want to” for varying definitions of “we”.

This choice is almost always more about the team than the technology, regardless of the specific language or framework or widget.
You misunderstood me.

I approved about 2% of candidates.

The actual hiring rate was much lower, meaning that even when I approved them, they ended up being rejected anyway.
If his book addresses the counterargument and dismisses it, fair enough. But if he doesn't address the counterargument at all, then I have to conclude that he is deliberately misleading his readers by selectively presenting only the evidence that supports his favored conclusions.

I haven't read the book yet so I don't know how or if he responded, but some sort of response is certainly warranted. He claimed these orbital parameters were "strange" but here is a paper published before the discovery of Oumuamua that says Oumuamua's parameters are mundane and expected. That's not the sort of counterargument that should be ignored.

Yes. China is an authoritarian state and their policies should largely not be emulated.
They saw it moving fast relative to our system, and all they were able to make out was a faint dot. I think comparing it to a "fast blur" on an aircraft sensor is actually too charitable, because those aircraft sensors actually got better looks at their objects.

I fall into that category in that I find the public education system extremely lacking in terms of (and especially) moral development. I don't appreciate the characterization of "weirdo", though you are welcome to it.

Just know that the majority of the people in the space you aspire to serve are fundamental Christians of various stripes and colors and you will lose that segment of business very quickly if you continue to demean them publicly.

Tech workers are the most privileged class of workers in the whole world. No one will take you seriously when you say these things. Also the metaphor doesn’t make sense. I wish we could keep this Reddit style, front page politics off our tech website.
But then you'd be back to paying pretty much cloud-like costs for your infra. The vmware suite (and similar tools) pricing is often not taken into account when comparing on-premise to cloud, which I find pretty ironic considering how much we talk about the hidden costs of the cloud. And the (crazy high) costs are usually tied to the numbers of cores/sockets you run, so not necessarily cheaper to scale.
What do you think about Spack vs. Conda/Mamba? I've been a contented (maybe not "happy") Conda user for years. Is there any reason to switch? I'd be concerned about package availability.
Heads project page: https://trmm.net/Heads/

> Heads is an open source custom firmware and OS configuration for laptops and servers that aims to provide slightly better physical security and protection for data on the system ... it combines physical hardening of specific hardware platforms and flash security features with custom Coreboot firmware and a Linux boot loader in ROM.

> This moves the root of trust into the write-protected ROM and prevents further modifications to the bootup code. Controlling the first instruction the CPU executes allows Heads to measure every step of the boot process into the TPM, which makes it possible to attest to the user or a remote system that the firmware has not been tampered with.
I’ve personally been in a room where you were very much not keeping quiet about it!
You know a lot of avant-garde creative writing blog posts like this leave me feeling "guh..." I can't stomach them, they're arrogant and shitty and try too hard.

But I don't dislike this. I managed to read to the end. I don't quite love it, but I like it, and was worth the read. That might seem a poor complement, but it honestly puts it in the top 1%. Kudos!

Has anyone tried this yet on the 65B version? I'm curious if it knows how to rhyme and other emergent behavior, as alpace-7B does not.
Haskell doesn't have the documentation / doctest / code examples culture of Rust, cargo is arguably a better experience than any of the Haskell package management options (at least last time I checked) and I don't believe rust-analyzer is matched by anything in Haskell as a language server.
They were all proprietary though
I don't see these as comparable at all.
Only code in the search space is. If it were an "index in the cloud" product, one mistake and I lose the codebase. If it is a "query exposes a portion", a mistake in where I use it exposes a piece.

If I can contain the blast radius of my errors my error budget is more available.
>agreement

There is no agreement in my opinion and there never is on QE, but what choice does any government have between "1 Trillion loss that can trigger more loss and potentially cause a revolution, a famine, a war, etc..." and "kick it down like those before me did and those after me will do", the can has already been kicked enough times, might as well continue until some genius comes up with a new financial system adapted to the 21st century.

People always expect solutions, sometimes there aren't any that are satisfactory.

The people who added so little value to the market and got so much out of it pulled that money from somewhere, someone built those houses etc... sure war and conquest has helped modern empires like the US, but it can only get you so far before you start risking nuclear armageddon, plus it's really, really, really, evil, kids getting bombed for oil is evil no matter how you put it... the alternative is well crafter financial systems that borrom from the future to spend today, aka QE, your grandkids will pay those interests on that loan the fed printed and lent the treasury, but you will have a more comfortable life.
> PDF however includes (a subset of) Javascript, making it just as Turing complete.

Not really, because the JavaScript is quite limited in what it can do (e.g. forms and interactive features). It can't produce text or graphical elements. A PDF reader can show view of a PDF that looks correct even if it doesn't implement any of the JavaScript features.
I remember reading Luigi Barzini claim that competition between the Carabinieri and Polizia was intended to limit coordinated corruption. In practice the Guardia di Finanza has been especially important in many corruption cases in Italy.

I understood the complaints that a lack of cooperation between law enforcement agencies was instrumental to 9/11, but even at the time putting everything under the Department of Homeland Security sounded like a recipe for a deterioration in attitudes among federal law enforcement agencies, and like it would eventually replicate the problems that come out of police and sheriff unions.

I agree that parallel law enforcement that has a reinforced focus on serving the public, and that has minimal contact with rot-inducing organizations is an excellent idea, and may be the only way to affect change without having to bear the increased incidence of work slowdowns suspected in many cities.
Because it is kinda boring? Just like M2 is much less interesting than M1. Current gen Intel or AMD chips are like 10% to 20% faster than apple (which apple acknowledges in their marketing and hence points at performance per Watt). Intel uses about the same energy at idle but about double at load. AMD has about the same efficiency (work per Watthour) under load but worse idle. And now nothing is happening until the next release.

> No one talks about..

Yeah, nobody cares unless something new comes out.

Well, some weeks ago The Guardian wrote:

Early forecasts suggest El Niño will return later in 2023, exacerbating extreme weather around the globe and making it “very likely” the world will exceed 1.5C of warming. The hottest year in recorded history, 2016, was driven by a major El Niño.

1.5°C is basically already locked in.

I suspect we agree on policies but not on terminology; I'd describe your vision for the future as market socialism, I would agree that reforming our institutions in that direction is the happy path for the future, and I would share your aversion to state socialism. I even think it's understandable to dissociate from the terminology -- FDR avoided the word "socialism" too, just remember that the businessmen got together and tried to coup him all the same.
