Good point, sacrifice certainly has some subjectivity to it. If someone uses the term “ultimate sacrifice” then they are ranking sacrifices and have some rationale.

I don’t think there’s an objective arbiter, but for terms of communication there is some need for subjective consensus. I might view chewing sugarless gum as the “ultimate sacrifice” but many others will not.

I don’t think that choosing not to have kids is the ultimate or greatest sacrifice and I gave some of my reasoning. Perhaps if someone thinks kids are the sole purpose in life then giving that up would the ultimate, but I don’t know if that’s very common. And if so, would be quite sad as such a sacrifice for the sake of climate change would be so inconsequential and a waste (like ending one’s own life to prevent emitting carbon from breathing).
I bought my used 2012 Nissan Leaf in 2015 for $6000. I left it sitting uncharged for 8 months while I travelled and lost no discernable range, I have done absolutely no maintenance other than tires and windshield wipers, and I can sell it for $6000.

> "I still own a iPad 3 with the same, old, software stack from 2013. It still works, I can do things."

I've got an iPad 2 which I purchased on the day of release! It's still in great shape and runs well. The original battery still holds a good charge. Still connects fine to modern WiFi networks and my Bluetooth devices.

I still use it for classic iPad gaming, but besides that unfortunately it increasingly struggles to "do things" because the ancient Safari is losing its ability to load/render modern websites properly. If only there was a way to get a more modern web browser on it (maybe there is, with jailbreaking?) then it'd be way more useful.

Side note: I like my iPad 2 but I've long since vowed to never buy another iPad until Apple supports multiple user accounts in iPadOS.

The TCO of a Tesla Model 3 is less than that of a Toyota Camry over a 15 year period. If you can afford a new Toyota Camry, you can also afford to finance a Model 3 to take advantage of the TCO savings.

If you can't, then you should be buying used. But in that case the phaseout of availability for new vehicles doesn't affect you.

I guarantee that a significant percentage of the new cars sold in the EU in 2036 will still emit CO2. Reducing CO2 emissions is absolutely something we should do, but the 2035 deadline is totally arbitrary and disconnected from objective reality in terms of manufacturing capacity and charging infrastructure. I predict that as the deadline approaches many exceptions will be granted for plug-in hybrid vehicles and rural areas with limited infrastructure.

Actually very good, would be nice if a few Western companies were splitted this way.
Coal is the dirtiest power source available. Globally, electricity is among the largest source of emissions. China has a strong commitment towards renewables, but for various reasons they also love coal. A brand new power plant is a long term commitment: these things last for decades. Building a new one today means burning through coal for 30+ years.

The best use of the world's resources would be to ensure no new coal plants are built, regardless of each individual country's emissions problems.

Furthermore, China is ahead of most countries in Europe on a per capita basis. Making excuses for them just because they aren't at the top on this metric is kinda bullshit.
No, it is not reasonable at all.

Broadly speaking, yes. Lot of hype men, lotta promises, lot of scams.

I had the same exact experience.
So as a new type of money is introduced, at first, the money itself is the payment system (you take coins and banknotes from your pocket and give them to the marchant), and as economic activity and technology grow, the payment system gets taken over by bank transactions and stuff like that.

And in a way we currently see that already for bitcoin: lots of people keep their money not in their own wallet, but in that of an exchange, so it can be more easily traded. The downside of that is that you don't control your money anymore, and there's no legal framework to protect your ownership of that money, so people have been losing a lot of money to fraudulent and incompetent exchanges. But that change also kinda defeats the original purpose of bitcoin.

Is there a reliable way to make the os NOT create these `.DS_Store` files?
I really don't like them and the fact that they pollute every folder.

GPU shaders don't "have" time but you can cheaply send them the current frame's time wrt some start time as a uniform input variable.

I did read your comment in a charitable way, which was why I replied as opposed to just ignore it. It's just generally a bit hard to get the wordings right in those kind of charged topic, so I opted for terseness. It might have come off as ruder than I intended, but that wasn't the plan.

The second half certainly wasn't directed to you, just more of a follow up as to why I wrote my original comment.
It's extremely common to send a time input to GPU shaders, although this time input doesn't need to be tied to anything like a system timer or frame counter, it can be arbitrary and adjusted at will.

Think of it like this: Imagine you have an expensive tween animation for particles, and every frame you have to use your CPU to calculate where the particle should have moved as part of it's animation, and send those updated coordinates to the GPU. Imagine you have millions of such objects, so it's quite the burden for the CPU, both in terms of calculating the tween animation, but also in terms of constantly updating every particle's x,y values over and over.

Instead, you could seed each particle on the GPU with x1,y1,x2,y2 values, and then just provide a global "time" value for them all to share. When you update time = time + 1, all particles on the GPU will recalculate their position without needing to be helped by the CPU. The trick is that they don't save this new position though, instead, they do the job all over again from scratch at time = time + 2, which is a lot cheaper since we didn't need to "save" our previous result, which is hard work on the GPU.

My thought would be using it for business software, not consumers. Like service desk software or anything that currently relies on app notifications or emails. This would be simpler.

Isn't the assumption just that alien life has reached the ability to listen for signals before we reached the ability to send them (and that they're still alive)? Or even that they reached the ability to listen for them some time after we started sending them but before we started listening for them.
If your “personality” is a product of environment then it’s not really personality, is it? The notion of “personality” that personality tests are supposed to get at is not dependent on environment, or at least, that is the way that personality is defined in this context.

Yes, bootcamps are somewhat effective for simpler, structured, higher level software development like web development frameworks, ecommerce integration like Shopify, and IT support, which is what most of them target. However, it is not as effective for other forms of software development like lower level server-side, devices, operating systems, compilers, db admin, and parallel processing or advanced level skills like requirements gathering, project management, and architecture.

My guess is ai’s will largely replace the benefits of rote memorization learned in these bootcamps and make these skills less marketable to companies.

Mercury is a Prolog-derived language with static types and clause determinism annotations for static compilation. In Prolog slang, Prolog SLD resolution wouldn't be called "constraint solving" though it certainly can solve constraints over finite domains via exhaustive search. Constraint solving as a term is typically associated with finite and interval constraint propagation methods on top of Prolog.

Actually, Prince (fka Prince XML) is a commercial CSS renderer for paged media that has been implemented using Mercury, and I'd say is even a major showcase for Mercury. But unfortunately, Prince isn't open source, and what little is known of its internals is that it doesn't use much Prolog-style indeterminism/backtracking but is quite procedural in nature. Maybe CSS matching is implemented using Prolog-style unification/pattern matching but CSS selector matching uses eg. priorities whereas Prolog matches applicable clauses in document order, so I don't know about that. Actually, I'd love to hear about that from Prince developers hanging around here ;)
The original iPad mini 2 with cellular was $529 when introduced ten years ago, not $300. The current iPad mini with cellular was $649 when introduced one and a half years ago. Both of those numbers are the actual US Dollar prices for both products. Your pricing information is not correct.

Coal usage is at an all time high.

https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/global-coal-cons...

It is 25% of global emissions. We’ve had 50 years to deal with this. Coal is such a dirty source of power. I’ve been told renewables are competitive for at least a decade. Something doesn’t add up.

Excessive according to your judgement?

Interesting. Will this be replicated in Africa, Asia, LATAM or even the US? The EU as a whole is wealthy enough to test this premise (full electric) and let the rest of the world know the results of this.

I'm wondering what would citizens from each EU country say about this?

5+ years is only good in the context of the poor Android support model. We’re throwing away hardware which is still perfectly good because a company cannot profitably support the older models. It’s a major problem, and a huge waste of resources.

It limits the rate of monetary inflation. It is much harder to dig a shiny metal out of the ground than adding more zeros in a computer.

I can agree with that perspective. There is also the cultural element. In America at least, having a Windows Phone was about as uncool as you could get. Capability or price didn't matter, it'd get you socially snubbed. We see something similar playing out now with Android and iOS among under-25s in the U.S.

5G isn't an actual advancement however. For most of where I live, in a major US city the effective bandwidth is either 0 kbps or 0.1 kbps. Why would anyone choose a technology that doesn't have any actual function?

If I use LTE at least I have some usable bandwidth.
It's not even an issue of statistics - yes the traits might exist, and people might fit into it, but that doesn't mean it's predictive of any outcome related metric.
I asked chatgpt to do that:

SEO, growth hacking, Bangladeshi click farms,

Silicon Valley boosterism, idea guys with no charm,

Patent trolling, due diligence leaks,

Sharks lurking, waiting for the opportunity to sneak.

Android flashlights, Facebook quizzes galore,

Pay-to-win games, Amazon affiliates who always want more,

But these slimy tenants sustain the prestigious platforms we see,

It's a cycle of hype, disillusionment, and finding niches uniquely.

Rails discourse and NodeJS chatter,

AWS and MongoDB, Agile and TDD, they all matter,

Tech's economic success always attracts the wannabes,

But eventually everything falls into their proper niche and degree.

So next time you're scrolling through the latest tech news,

Remember the hype can be misleading, and always consider your dues,

Take a moment to reflect on the balance of tradeoffs and gain,

Big impact: No soft drinks anymore, just water

Big impact: Reduce sugar intake to max 25g a day

Medium impact: interval fasting (16/8)

Small impact: Fitness. I do a lot, but frankly fitness just doesn't have much of an impact on losing weight.

I'm 34 and keeping my weight of 80kg that way for many years now.
Every problem is trivial when you don't understand it.
Huh. I've been using a Pixel 2 for a long time (got it early after release), and for some reason it's never occurred to me to worry. My battery life is still awesome, so I figured I'd just use this thing until it dies.

If you do switch to OSS, let me know how it goes -- I've considered switching to Replicant or PureOS for freedom/privacy reasons, but haven't had a good enough reason to put in the effort yet.

Edit: looking at the release date, it looks like I've had my phone for ~5.5 years, and luckily I've had zero of the problems of the person who wrote the original article. All my apps still work as expected, and I've never noticed issues with new apps I download. I'm not saying their problems aren't real, just that they're not usiversal.
“In the real world, computers are too expensive for normies to buy”. Was true once too, but things move fast.

A huge difference is going to be in four or five years when currently new cars start really showing up on the used car market. At the same time, there will be more entry-level priced new EVs (in part because of laws like this, but also just the normal technology development cycle)
Author here! Thanks for posting :) Just want to make a brief note here that we raised a 4.5m seed round to found a tech startup, the Higher Order Company, to work on the HVM.

There are already several cool ideas on the pipeline, so expect exciting news and massive improvements soon!
Ive seen this car-sharing app in Munich.

What is the model exactly?

I can see it being useful to cut the bureaucracy of car rental out, but what are these prices and how do they make sense vs buying a car outright?

> You can say financial services are special, and the US does. Some countries like China say that information services are special, that people shouldn't be allowed to criticize the CCP, and enforce that however they have the power to.

Fairness isn't the concern here. It's just a display of power and law enforcement reach. The Chinese government can (and likely will) block your website if it's criticizing the CCP and gets considerably popular, regardless of the morality of that action.

The same applies to the U.S. government. "To sell derivatives trading products to our citizens, you must register with us first". I consider the American law even fair because derivatives products are risky and a major avenue for scamming people...only licensed firms should offer them.

Note that Binance wasn't banned from selling derivatives products. All that was required was a simple registration with the CFTC, which they refused.
In France, the gas station restrooms on highways are free and they are clean (the restrooms in rest areas without a gas station are more hit and miss) so it's more a question of being within a building with employees being there at all times, I would think.

In Belgium, you'd better not need to pee on the highway on Sundays or at night because the restrooms (paid, or reserved to clients of the restaurant/shop owner) are simply closed, outside of a handful of gas stations where they cost 0,80€ AND are only moderately clean.
This reminds me of the "CliftonStrengths" assessment, which I've been trying to get more information on. It's doing the rounds in the indie publishing community right now and people get so excited about how they're "high strategic" or "low intuitive" or whatever, you just hear it everywhere. There's authors buying books, courses, coaching, etc. I _thought_ all of this stuff was disproved a long time ago, but I still haven't figured out if this "Clifton" one is somehow different or if it's just authors falling for people charging a bunch of money to train them on their "strengths" as if they mean anything.

I suppose even if they _don't_ mean anything, if they help the person introspect and figure out what works for them it's worth it in some way. It just really grinds my gears to see these "consultants" or "coaches" talk about this stuff as if it is totally evidence-based and backed by science. Unless maybe Clifton is different somehow?

It's almost like all models are wrong, but some are useful.
But if we installed plugs and made electric cars cheaper, people would transition to electric cars without force by regulation and mandates. Now we have a hard deadline, no plugs, no powerstations, and again, the poor people will be the ones who get fucked by those mandates (since the rich can charge their cars at home in their garages, and the poor live in large apartment buildings with large parking lots with zero chargers.
I don’t think I would say the same of Amazon if we split it up into those things, minus the digital mapping and food delivery which honestly sounds like the worst of them anyway.

> Alibaba's new "Logistics" spin-off will surely do well by providing delivery services to the "Chinese e-commerce" spin-off.

Unless the Chinese e commerce spin-off realizes it was much better when they had in house logistics and just starts building that again?
There used to be a large network of electric cars in Warsaw by one of the utilitiy companies, Innogy GO. They had a few hundred cars, very nice BMWs (i3 and i3s), decent prices but, sadly, didn't survive the lockdowns and folded in early 2021.

They are going for them, but they won't get them in the next 5 years at least, probably more; this move has nothing to do with AI.

The level of human interaction required to distill the abstract and implicit requirements of the customers into a machine-implementable format far outstrips the capabilities of current LLM based systems, and I say that as a daily GPT and Copilot user. It will just re-balance the workforce, turning 10x programmers into 50x programmer-project-managers, hence just ever more scarce.
