The transmission corporation in the state where I live India has had net metering option for a while now. They recently introduced grid maintenance cost chargeable to those exporting solar power to the grid. Despite that it's no brainer for us here to install roof top solar with net metering.

The poor eyesight you're referring to comes with age, generally after the primary ages of procreation. That's why, on an evolutionary timescale, there wasn't much benefit to weeding out the need for glasses. Maybe into the future we will see that. Conditions which cause poor eyesight from birth get weeded out.
I've gone through various iterations of my blog/site. I started in LiveJournal back in the day, then moved to Blogger, and then tested the waters with Medium. Eventually, I concluded the same as the author: that I had to own my content in my own site, but that it was OK to use other established platforms for redistribution. And this is why I haven't jumped onto the Substack bandwagon.

I described the thought process I went through here: https://jmmv.dev/2016/01/medium-experiment-wrapup.html and am currently using Hugo to build my site. Granted, creating content via Markdown is slightly more convoluted than using a web UI, but the feeling of control and future-proofness I get cannot be matched.

>"Daniel Firth: So the main difference with Docker is that Docker is imperative. It’s not declarative. Obviously isn’t. It’s not a language really. All it says is execute the steps in order. And

Docker will arbitrarily trust the internet.

So if you make an Ubuntu image in Docker, and then you say, execute these apt install steps, it will go and contact the Ubuntu Package Manager. And it will trust the internet at that point.

So there’s no guarantee that if you try and build a Docker container using Docker today, that it will be the same Docker image that you build in a year.

Whereas with Nix, the inputs completely determine the outputs, and all of the inputs are cryptographically hashed. And all of the outputs are cryptographically hashed. So it knows if there’s a mismatch if someone has changed the source on the internet, for example, [or] a source has gone missing. There’s no way it’s going to accidentally introduce a source that you didn’t intend to go into the image, whereas Docker will just pull whatever is there."

I think this quote by Daniel Firth highlights the difference between NixOS and Docker exceedingly well...

Auto-GPT: An Autonomous GPT-4 Experiment
What did you expect when there were government mandates to shut down companies?
I appreciate your attention to accuracy in this discussion. I think we are basically arguing against different oversimplifications, not really disagreeing about anything fundamental.

My own house was built with hydronic floor heating, via natural gas. We added a ductless heat pump a few years ago, but we primarily use it for cooling. It would be a clear win from an environmental perspective, since our utility is 80% hydro and 0% coal/oil/gas; but the radiant floors are so much more comfortable that we haven't made much use of electric heating yet. We'll probably have the heat pump upgraded in a year or two, to cover more of the house; perhaps that'll be a good moment to shift our habits and see how it works out.
Thanks, will check these out for sure. Already digging Karpathys code first approach in the first few hours!

Greatness comes at a very high cost. But to me greatness is not about money, or economic success. Greatness is a very subjective term.

For me greatness is about mastering my craft. Creating great things. It still comes at a very high cost, because practice is not free, and it takes away time from life, especially family time.

Now, Why? Look at life this way: Humans only care about the experience of life. Experience can be focused on family, money, personal achievements, material things, etc.

What you refer to a `great` experience is not really a `great` experience for another person. So `greatness`, IMHO, refers to the experience you wanna have. My great experience is becoming a master in my craft. That is my image of greatness. To Transcend. I trade time focused on my work, for time doing other things.

Now, there could be a person that has a vision of `greatness` that refers to being the greatest dad ever. That is still greatness. So basically, what I am trying to say is that everyone looks for their version greatness, and that not necessarily matches what you define as greatness.
Actually it tends to be the opposite, it ends up filled with highly qualified experts in their fields who are happier with a good work-life balance. Because it's government everything moves very slowly and there is very limited scope for advancement (the government doesn't grow like a company, and there's no outside competition so you can't jump to new jobs as much) so it's not a good place for bullshitters to thrive because you're going to be there a long time and if you get found out as a bullshitter no one will tkae you seriously. You can't just bullshit through a few years and then move to a different department or get a promotion, everything moves so slowly that if you start screwin things up people will actually notice (they won't fire you though).

> it pretty much means "a desk inside your house".

Working as a remote developer for 20-some-odd years, I've worked in coffeeshops, hotels, bars, libraries, parks, moving cars, other homes of friends and family, you name it. The freedom to work anywhere is the biggest perk. I have always called it WFH, even if not technically always done at home.

Because coming up with something light that can resist heat(food tends to be hot), moist or straight up water and fats and oils is hard. Plate or heavy container isn't that hard. But something that can be transported or even used to store stuff fore even couple days or weeks is quite hard task.
The question this should inspire: what do we find hard that would be trivial if we developed better notation?

Einstein tensors are a great example of notation as an enabling technology - it’s a mistake to think we have thought of all the notation tricks we might need.

I wonder if, for example, in attempting to reason about neural networks in terms of ‘gradients’ and ‘matrix operations’ we might look, to future mathematicians, like poor ancients struggling to handle arithmetic without a clean notation for rational fractions…

The way I see it, it can't be an ethical site unless it's Free Software, not just open-source. Proprietary software is inherently unethical no matter what you're building.

Since you mention you are trying to build a team, and your focus is on ethics, I'd suggest making your company into a co-op. Each team member gets 1 share of the company on hire, they lose the share on quit/fire. Profits split evenly among all members. This is how all companies should be run. Capitalism is parasitic and unethical.
> Sell all your furniture and all but irreplaceable and critical belongings, possibly including selling any cars you may have. Use a few thousand dollars of that money for airfare or gas money and move yourself and minimal belongings to a new location.

We’re talking about the poorest people in society here so let’s assume they don’t have a car. And they’re probably not taking a flight anywhere, they’re most likely taking a greyhound bus if we’re running this thought experiment in America. How many thousands of dollars do you think they have in furniture? Do you really think it is going to get that person out of any existing debts they have, and then leave them with multiple thousands of dollars to spare? Because if you’ve got $1500 dollars and the hotel room costs $75 a night, you’ve got 20 days to find this cheap apartment and find a job in this city where you know no one before you’re homeless. In reality, you have less time because you’ve got food and transport costs on top of that. Oh and now you’re probably not getting any benefits because you’re in a different town and probably have to go through the system again.

Do you really think this is a good way for someone to turn their life around or do you think that the desperation of their situation means it is far more likely they are going to get exploited by both landlords, employers and possibly criminals in this new town, made all the worse by the fact that they don’t have any contacts and zero support network?

Hydrogen and oxygen are propulsive fuels. Electrolysis and a source of water then gives you a pathway from electricity to propulsion. Where you get the electricity from is up to you; giant solar panels, nuclear reactors, etc. For moving an asteroid around, it's probably OK if it takes 10 years to get it on the right trajectory...

Here's an example of Nasa using electrolysis + water for maneuvering cubesats:

>It’s not like there’s a single universal ARM binary you can build and run on every SoC.

That depends how widely you define SoC and what level of "binary" you mean.
For example a Linux userspace binary compiled for arm-linux-eabihf will run on most 32 bit ARM systems out there today and there is another one for 64 bit aarch64. So yes, it's not a universal ARM binary but its a long long way from being SoC specificic.

Vendor specific toolchains on ARM are pretty uncommon in my experience (they used to be a thing on old 8 bit MCUs).

Sure the memory map and peripherals do differ between SoCs but, under Linux at any rate, that is only a problem for the kernel and you can actually build a kernel that will run on multiple SoCs as long as they have the same ISA (by building the different drivers as module and suppling the appropriate DT.)

I regularly run the same userspace root filesystem (and in fact the same kernel except for DT) on multiple ARM v7 SoCs.
From what I read in the article, you need to also avoid signing anything that says you’ll sign something else later (why in the world is that kind of contract legal?).
>A world without any nuclear reactors or uranium enrichment facilities, is a world without nuclear weapons.

But this is a plain naive argument to make. At this point saying "destroying all nuclear bombs means no more nuclear bombs" is also technically correct, but even if, let's say, civil nuclear energy was impossible to manage, there would still be uranium enrichment facilities designed with the sole purpose of creating nuclear weapons, because they give such a significant strategic advantage to superpowers; they just wouldn't allow not to have it when others can.

So even without nuclear power plants you would still have nuclear weapons, I really never understood the argument of causation civilian and military nuclear energy, on can exist without the other.
Weaponizing their fertility? I'm not sure you could describe this as "weaponizing" anything at all. This is just people choosing what life they want for themselves.
The thing I've really noticed is way worse lately is the "People also ask" section.

I'll Google for something and see the results are not very good, but I'll see in "People also ask" a question that is asking about what I'm looking for, in more detail and better expressed than what I asked.

It used to be that clicking that would almost always reveal what I was looking for.

Now it usually just gives me a result along the lines of all the bad results to my own search.
> That's odd framing.

If it was the men who were, on average, disproportionately divorcing their wives the framing could be reversed. As divorce has costs, the act of divorcing someone indicates that they are worse as a spouse than the alternative.

I use 1blocker to weed out a lot of stuff. Works great as a barrier. Ultimately it's about the user and not about the tooling.
The equivalent of Uber running on the rails, yes. Bulk cars can carry ~200 people in a 9 foot wide by 50 foot long unit, and most trains are 10 cars long. Small, autonomous 5-10 person sized units of 9 foot wide by 5 or so feet long would offer flexibility while still being reasonably space efficient.

The tracks have many many interstation connection points. There are many local/express track pairs. So there are lots of potential point to point routes for an autonomous fleet to service. Even at peak utilization more than 99% of track surface lies unused as the bulk car scheduling/signalling system is ancient and inefficient.
Every full-day on-site interview for an engineering role I’ve done results in me being pretty exhausted, even when there’s minimal technical questions. My theory, which maybe is slightly related to this article, is that thinking through all the potential future things that might happen as a result of choosing this job is mentally draining.

Your brain is evaluating what you might be working on, what the future boss might be like, what your coworkers are like and if any seem particularly compatible or not with you, etc.

That sounds like some hard thinking to me.
Say this to a non developer. This just isn't realistic for the majority of people, nor do they care, or should they. What we need is interoperability between services so that backups and transfers are much easier. That isn't the case just yet. If we moved to a more API first world then it would be very much possible. With the advent of GPT related stuff it's clear we're going that direction and the interface for everything is changing too. So the concept of what is your website might fundamentally change too.
> It has to be so good that people stop talking to each other at the office once they have this tool.

Slack itself did this in my experience.
C does not have a formal specification either. It has a standard's document that is written using formal English, but it does not provide a formal spec of C's semantics. A formal spec of a programming language's semantics would entail using a formal semantic model such as operational or denotational semantics. Some programming languages do specify the formal semantics for the entire language or some subset of the language but C is not one of them.

Your claim that the C Standard lists all undefined behavior is actually false. The C Standard only lists out the explicit list of undefined behavior, but it does not list out the implicit list of undefined behavior. There have been efforts to make just such a list but it's an incredibly difficult task.
It’s “working” insofar as it represents a giveaway to value-extracting development interests, nearly all of which seek to grow the permanent renter class.

No, it doesn't. Why do you think they made HTTP/3? Because the whole idea of multiplexing multiple parallel streams onto a single sequential TCP stream is stupid.

As it says in the thing you quoted, the correct approach is to use multiple TCP connections.

The only advantage of HTTP/3 over that is that it only pays for the latency overhead of connection establishment once instead of once per stream. This is a very small optimization that is only relevant in a very narrow set of cases.
The E-SIGN act says that e-signatures are valid, with the main caveat being both parties need to opt into doing business electronically. Unfortunately that doesn't mean that every agency must accept e-signatures.
I had basically this same thing happen a few years back. Dad mentioned he felt ill in an online chat and then that was it.

He lived in a podunk and traveled little throughout his life - I lived in a larger metro area with some world-class outdoors, and just by luck it turned out he loved coming out to visit.

So we had him out to visit over and over and over, and that traveling around with him is one of the things I’m most thankful to have done.
You would think that you could arbitrage this problem away by increasing the landlord size (and proportionally undercutting rents).

I.e. if 10% of renters will wreck their house but rents are higher by 30% on the whole, then a large landlord should be able to shrink that gap (i.e. principle of insurance - they can eat the loss) - versus a small landlord who would want extra padding to account for the risk.
