Well you can get a fan with 1500 Watts of heat for $18 at Walmart, so the cost per watt is crazy low for these kinds of heaters, $0.012/Watt. Or just, like, steel wire of the right length shoved into an electrical outlet (not much different in principle, maybe a couple cents worth of steel wire…). Baseboard space heaters are like $90 for 1500Watts, or $0.06/Watt.

A consumer GPU is like $2.80/Watt.

Now the cost of the electricity itself, if converted to a capital cost equivalent, is like $10/Watt for residential 24/7/365 electricity in much of the US.

An air source heat pump like a mini split costs like $900 for 3600 Watts of heat (typical weird units like 12,000 BTU per hour but usually they omit the “per hour” part because marketing people hate clarity LOL), so just $0.25/Watt for heat but it’s even better because you have a third the electricity usage, so your capital equivalent electricity cost is just $3/Watt.

I don't think it's reqlly fair to read a person's frustration piece and assert they probably have a character flaw. I don't even see your issue with the article, really. I don't think it's targeting anyone specifically and it seems to be about doing things in excess. Maybe just the idea of people who are consistently negative contributors rubs you the wrong way.

> Funny you should say that: Poland installed 4.9 GW of solar in 2022 [0] compared to 5.3 GW capacity (nominal) of nuclear connected to the grid worldwide in 2021[1].

With less than 30 hours of sunshine in December it contributes to the grid amount known as "fuck all": https://i.imgur.com/QVNpl06.png
Capacity was over 10GW at this point.

It was installed only because of net metering policies, so you generate energy in summer when it does not really matter, and receive it in winter where there's lack of it. Bad policy.

Even wind generally fares better: https://i.imgur.com/2R2nfF2.png
1,3 GW out of ~8GW capacity.

On the other hand, the 5,3GW of nuclear capacity displaces 10x more fossils, because it's actually 5,3GW you can generally count on.

>For many years, this has been a debate about nuclear’s supposedly huge potential in the face of actually existing solar and wind capacity running circles around actually existing nuclear.

Yet, we install tens or hundreds of solar "capacity" that end up not generating any power or overgenerating when we have too much of it. It's pointless, especially in our climate.
Well, now we are really down to semantics. I don't think there is any guarantees about rendering whatsoever, are there?

In other words, if you, currently, put some html elements (whatever that means, maybe using innerHTML or so) is there any guarantee how exactly they are rendered, meaning, how they are turned into dom nodes?

Because of not, then render(a, b, c) is in fact equivalent to render(a) + render(b) + render(c).

If this process can be controlled, then obviously "inserting" an html element (structure) must be able to describe that process to make it declarative.

I mostly refuse to consider function coloring a problem. Async programming has a different mental model than synchronous programming, so I don't think it's unreasonable to treat them differently.

That said, I welcome exploration of more implicit models as well - it's just that the debate is tiresome. The ideal paradigm often depends on what the given language more naturally supports.

Sure, but my comment was with respect to managers, not ICs.

For ICs, I agree, distributed teams can face coordination challenges due to increased friction, poorer communication practices (if they haven't adapted well to remote communication patterns), etc. Personally, my ideal world is teams that are geographically co-located but working remotely. That minimizes things like timezone challenges while also giving the team the option to meet face-to-face when they find it makes sense.

But management does not (or should not) require that level of highly engaged, coordinated work. Hell, pre-pandemic, the vast majority of my interactions were already remote because, outside of my direct reports (with whom my relationship is largely about providing strategic direction and then delegating responsibility so they can get the real work done), the people I work with represent a cross-section of the company's functions, and thus the company's offices.

But hey, maybe what remote is doing is exposing those micromanagers, or organizations, that rely on heavy-handed top-down hierarchy who are finding it difficult to adapt.

In which case I say good riddance.
I'm sorry for being so hard on you yesterday. Your glib tone struck me as condescending and the snarky quip about stretching and 'vaulted analytical whatever' had me really disliking you. I hope that wasn't your intention and if that is the case then I apologize.

Adding an embedded LLM as a human interface for every appliance is a huge win— for consumers at least.

For example, I have a dishwasher with a bunch of settings, can sense load, etc. It’s got a touch interface that works with wet hands. Or I can tell it to start with the usual settings, or that a particular load is a bit different. Same with the laundry, the pressure cooker.

It is less mind bandwidth when you got kids.

What I don’t want, is for my appliances to do is to phone home to the makers.

LLMs (if you don’t somehow trigger its insanity) can be far more capable than Siri. How do you get that into something more energy efficient than a high end gaming rig?

Something more hidden is using LLMs to reprogram machine-to-machine protocols. That might extend the lifetime of machines that have to talk with other machines, but it breaks planned obsolescence.

There are plenty of exciting product ideas. Whether they are exciting revenue generators are another thing entirely.

It would be great if it had a fast, minimalist web interface, mobile support, generous free tier (long enough for me to decide whether I like the service or not) and customer support.

There’s some terminology being mixed up here.

The "D" in TDP stands for design. It's the maximum amount of power that the device is designed to dissipate.

The actual power draw is what the comment is talking about. The actual power draw will be different from TDP. The power draw is affected by operating conditions, like voltage and frequency.

In a typical CMOS design, gates have capacitance and carry charge. When you apply a positive voltage to a gate, you deposit some charge into that gate from the positive rail. When you apply a negative voltage to that gate, the positive charge you previously deposited (from the positive rail) is dumped into the negative rail. This current, flowing from the positive to the negative rail, is proportional to the voltage (q = cv), proportional to the gate capacitance, and proportional to the switching frequency. The power is current multiplied by voltage.

This means that power is proportional to voltage squared in these systems. (Or at least, it has a voltage squared component—this is a simplified model, and there are other things which contribute to power draw.)

The switching frequency is also related to voltage. At higher voltages, the transistors are driven harder, and the gates switch faster, so you can rase the clock speed. The end result is that when you lower the voltage and frequency a little bit, you can get a large reduction in power draw.
Look at it this way: there's a societal pressure for women to appear secondary, by presenting as more aesthetic than practical. That's patriarchy and it's enforced both by men and women.

We raise girls in this climate and they develop what's called internalized misogyny. At the same time we chastise men who wear things for pure aesthetics for being weak, unmanly and feminine.

Everyone then reinforces this stuff through design and consumer habits.

Then we come online and argure that it's just an inherent thing about the sexes, or that women actually want to be dressed less practical because they're just aesthetic creatures.

It's not a conspiracy where men are trying to hold women back. I hope I didn't imply that. It's the tide of a strong patriarchal system. Yes, it could change faster if it wasn't benefiting those in power so much, but it's inaccurate to say it's a directed conspiracy (though there is an increase of this with a lot of alt-right YouTube stuff these days).
I've realised a long time ago that all of programming essentially consists of two things: data, and procedures that operate on that data. Everything else is in function in one or both of these two things.

For example - functions and methods organise the procedures in smaller, more manageable (from human perspective) chunks, types formalise and limit the data to make them easier to transfer and organise, and classes (are supposed to) do both.

You are mixing two things up into one conversation. You are adding time into the conversation, in which case yes you need timezones, but if you don't add time into the conversation and just have dates, then you don't have timezones.
My cats heavily use body language and physical activity to communicate with each other, rather than explicit vocalization. Their body language is passive, and their physical activity is indicative (and usually, so are their vocalizations); they don't exactly directly communicate concepts like human language does.

> Anecdotally, I've worked in high-performance computing and machine learning for years now and the past few months I've seen a huge spike in the number of messages I get for MLOps positions. I think companies are slowly starting to realize that setting up machine learning at scale isn't as simple as deploying poorly written code by research scientists to managed platforms.

This doesn’t bode well for ML in lots of orgs. Obviously machine learning is very powerful and effective in many use cases. But the value proposition already isn’t there for lots of companies. At such places, discovering a hidden requirement for more resources is a great reason to change directions.

To be very clear, I’m not talking about the field in general. I’m talking about orgs where management doesn’t see value generated from the ML efforts that suddenly demand more resources to operate.

Yeah Traits give you more than just the type of the output, they let you specify how it must be called to get that trait, that's a key capability for writing generic code.

> Why put up with NATO expansion? Russia's expansion is also totally defensive! wink-wink

The difference between NATO's expansion and Russia's expansion is that Finland is not under a threat of violence from NATO. Quite clearly Russia is threatening Ukraine with violence if it doesn't become part of Russia.

That would be why Russia's expansion isn't totally defensive. I mean, it's defensive for Russia sure. Just not for Ukraine.

Similar to the old joke. A man from American tells his Soviet friend; freedom is being able to criticize Regan from outside the White House without being arrested. His Soviet friend tells him; we have freedom too! You can criticize Regan from outside the Kremlin as well!
