"Progress" in the innovation sense comes from many places. Once something has been successful somewhere, it gets copied elsewhere. No one government controls innovation. The author does not seem to get this. (For an overview of the copying process, see "How Asia Works" by Studwell. It's a good study on how various Asian countries became part of the developed world.)

The "Roots of Progress" organization he comes from is basically him.[1]

But that doesn't stop them from hiring a bunch of capable software engineers from e.g. the Western Balkans to build stuff for them for crazy money (6 figures EUR is crazy money for the Western Balkans). Like the guy who created a phone network for the Colombian cartels in the 1990s.
Don't think of the path of least resistance (this is the limit case for f = 0 Hz), but about the path of least impedance and a lot of your intuition will translate. Also remember: 50/60Hz is almost zero on a pcb board and you can basically think of it as DC.
None of those are broad interruptions of service?
They do both. There are tax incentives for developers, and plenty of rebate programs. See BayREN and the various programs they piggyback with.

Hey, cool idea.

I built something similar for working with Java code, but it could be extended to other languages.

I've seen engineers find it hard to work out if their code is organised well together. So I built this tool to show them visually.

Partner and I are getting rid of our gas stove this year for induction. We're already running on induction on a small burner for most daily cooking, but when we do a large meal or cook for guests we need several burners. But my partner is from a culture that does Wok cooking and I'm from a culture that loves cooking different breads on grills. Our solution has been to use an Iwatani butane burner. It's already more efficient than the terrible stove that came with our house and it's small enough that I prefer grilling breads on it.

Bonus: we got hit by a 24 hour power outage in one of the storms and cooked solely using the Iwatani burner.
No one wanted ActiveDesktop. It was one of the first things you turned off after installing Windows98. It was removed in XP. Then they brought back a variation of it called Desktop Gadgets. It was poorly supported and full of bugs so, again, the first thing you were advised to disable after installing Vista/7. They ditched it in Windows 8. Now here we are again with Sidebar which we're sure is what Windows users want and definitely won't burn down, fall over, and sink into the swamp.

Natural gas was the largest source of electricity generation in California in 2021, accounting for nearly half of the power generated in the U.S. state.

I'd flip the question around, and ask:

For the average person to have a reasonable standard of living, let's say within an order of magnitude of what I have, and assuming that there are variations within this (e.g. some are poorer, some are richer) -

How many people can we support before we have to start heavily rationing?

I'm from the Netherlands, and moved to Quebec (French part of Canada) 16 years ago, to be with my (now) wife, and even after all those years, I still feel I can't express myself as well in French as in my native language. This, I think, is my biggest hurdle when making new friends.

We also live in a beautiful small village, with three great kids, and really have a great life, but a small village isn't the best place to find people with the same, very geeky, interests. Not that having the same interests is a requirement for friendship, but it would be really nice.
I’m just uncool but I appreciate the inclusion
I don't remember my sources but I learnt reverse osmosis as being pressure driven. This article is extremely confusing to me. Diffusion can explain osmosis but not reverse osmosis.
'electricite du magnetisme' would be a nice quadruple-entendre in French

1) electricity of magnetism => electrical side of the electromagnetic force

leads to

2) electricity from magnetism => generating electricity from a magnetic force

leads to

3) edm => electronic dance music

leads to

4) excitement from attraction => the feeling of excitement ('electric' metaphor for excitement) from meeting someone you're attracted to ('magnetic' metaphor for attraction between two people)
> NRC has long mulled whether to compel the nuclear industry to move most of the cooled spent fuel now held in densely packed pools to concrete containers called dry casks. Such a move would reduce the consequences and likelihood of a spent fuel pool fire. As recently as 2013, NRC concluded that the projected benefits do not justify the roughly $4 billion cost of a wholesale transfer. But the national academies's study concludes that the benefits of expedited transfer to dry casks are fivefold greater than NRC has calculated.

Utter insanity. Regulatory capture is a hell of a thing when it comes to nuclear.

This is why I file nuclear power under "nice things" - and we can't have nice things.
Neither are the overwhelming majority of electrical outages. Then again firemen don't usually respond to electrical outages, and most electrical outages don't trigger evacuations, so there's that.

Besides the claim was "virtually never has an outage" not "virtually never has a widespread outage".

And im not talking the boonies. Im talking just outside San Francisco.

Aside from the market manipulation outages of 2001 and the initial round of public safety shutoffs, there weren't widespread interruptions of service. In fact last year the only rolling blackouts in the Bay Area were more or less accidental as whatever city (Alameda? Palo Alto?) jumped the gun.

Gas is way more reliable than electricity in CA.

Meanwhile Texas had widespread natural gas outages in 2021 and 2022. It's been a few years since I've had a power outage out here, and given the current state of PG&E's gas infra I wouldn't exactly call it reliable.

The thing with a power outage is that you'll sit around and enjoy having gas appliances. Whereas with a gas outage, you'll sit around and hope your house doesn't blow up.
I must have missed where that was the point. Can you point it out to me in this thread? There was an earlier mention of the weather widget, but that seems pretty different than "news headlines"?
I help run a weekly AI meetup at NoiseBridge. You can come check us out Wednesdays at 8 or join our Discord: https://discord.gg/cBpbz9VedY .

It's a mix of things at different levels. Some is high level "here's LangChain or Automatic1111", some is more in-depth paper reads. I covered BLIP2 recently, someone else did PaLM-E two weeks ago, I'm gonna touch on SAM this week.
Yeah, I have a $20 camp stove and $2 butane cans. And a bbq. And a stick stove if it comes to that. If one is worried about reliability, self-sufficiency is the way.

My biggest worry isn’t cooking, it’s refrigeration.
I don't think so, you just have a flap that absent a pressure gradient stays closed. When extraction is on, you usually are producing heat so it's not as big of a deal.
Even then, google proved most people are okay with having their data collected and if they can get away with it, might as well profit off of it too. Also, maybe this is an old thing, but doesn’t ms get some money for having windows installed on prebuilds. And yes, I know microsoft makes most of its profit off of enterprise and government contracts, but thats not gonna stop them from collecting data for immediate (and potentially long term, if they find some new thing to do with said data) profit.
Whether you are paying for HA depends on your Recovery Time Objective (RTO). You can have a bunch of suspended EC2 instances and non EC2 resources where you only pay per use in another region.

You can redirect traffic to another region and have autoscaling spin up EC2 instances, etc.
Cars.

Everything is designed around cars. Cars require lots of space, particularly at the destination (parking). So everything is built spread out (sprawl). Now you can choose between living in a tiny apartment or something bigger, but far away from everything. When you are younger, enough of your friends might choose the apartment and you can live near friends. This is for many what makes the college experience special. As you grow older, more will choose (perhaps including yourself!) to live far away. One day you realise that you have no proximate friends.

Cars, man.

>Until the last coal plant shuts down, it makes zero sense to ban natural gas.

I don't quite follow the logic here, why? California only had 1 coal plant left, and most of it has been decommissioned. It's not like natural gas usage would be replaced with coal. It would be replaced with either renewable, nuclear, or centralized natty

I've always formatted SD cards like any other block device. This page mentions a secure section of the card that can somehow reduce performance if you don't treat it specially? What is this security section for, and do standard UNIXy partitioning tools have the ability to handle them properly, or do I have to use this proprietary(?) tarball if I want good SD performance?
Yeah, I think part of the difficulty in making friends as an adult is simply because your time is way more scarce and valuable.

I think Azure is a bit of an awkward fit in the group, but just sticking with it, it's still eclipsed if we combine Windows, search advertising, "enterprise services," and Office, which would all seem to fit in the originally-provided "bad" group.
I omitted it for simplicity, but San Francisco is basically that: a consolidated City and County, the only one in the State. I mean in legal effect it washes out to a charter county that is also called a city, we have a Board of Supervisors and a Mayor but no city council, and we employ both a Police Department and a Sheriffs Department.

Texan cities though, some of those cross into three counties.
That sounds like too many people; three or four usually works best in my experience.
Clearly the author still hasn't learned his lesson: his "no more vendor lock" solution is another vendor(s) - which is always able to vendor-lock him, again.

It is truly mind blowing on how many people keep falling for one of the oldest trick in IT : vendor lock-in.

This case in Massachusetts was also notable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrimack_Valley_gas_explosion...

> On September 13, 2018, excessive pressure in natural gas lines owned by Columbia Gas of Massachusetts caused a series of explosions and fires to occur in as many as 40 homes, with over 80 individual fires, in the towns of Lawrence, Andover, and North Andover, all within the Merrimack Valley, in Massachusetts, United States. One person, Leonel Rondon, was killed and 30,000 were forced to evacuate their homes immediately.

One thing I learned around this time is in Massachusetts a number of wooden lines are in service and nobody knows exactly where they all are.
Since when is CUPS not able to handle HP printers? HPs have been basically plug-and-play for me.
Yes, but I would not use the word "rumor". It was one of the main theories by the Swedish police (which they later on realized was incorrect).

(maybe rumor is correct word, just feels a bit odd to use in this context)
I don't have any friends. I'm almost 40 and haven't had any friends since about 13. Each year since then I've averaged "going out" between 3 to 5 times per year for a "social thing".

I think about wanting friends all the time. But then I think I don't really have anything of value to add to a friendship. I guess I have a low opinion of myself. When I think about what I'd hope for a friendship to be, I just don't know. Meet once a week for a beer? I'm not an interesting person and don't have hobbies.

I do dream about getting married. And I have fear that the imagined wife would want a wedding, and I'd have no best man or groomsmen.
I’d like one really close friend who I see often and a couple acquaintances who I can hang with from time to time. I had this about 10 years ago and it’s since left my life entirely. It mostly surrounded my work life, but it seems like as soon as I switched jobs, it all started to fall apart.

I think convenience plays a huge role in all of this, honestly. I have kids and a partner now and I work from home. If I want to see anyone recreationally, it has to be planned and that just sucks. It honestly takes all the fun out of it.

If there’s one drawback to the working from home shift, it has to be this. I really miss having any kind of social life.
> A large issue was in not managing expectations when it came to AI, and we’ve had 2 cycles to learn that hype trains can maglev themselves into a 10-year ditch.

With all the hype around language models I don't get the impression that this lesson has been learned particularly well. All those proponents of “AI” remind me more and more of used-car salesmen.
In case it's not clear from the article, Nixpacks build OCI (essentially, Docker) images, so they are perfectly vendor neutral as far as I know. The ending ambiguously implies that Nixpacks may be undesirable vs using Docker, but actually it's just another way to build an image. Fly.io supports Nixpacks out of the box too, I believe, which makes it even easier to use them with Fly (although, you can also just push an OCI image directly to the fly.io registry and deploy with that, which I have been experimenting with in spare time as an option for using Nix itself to build an OCI image for Fly. I'm sure there will be an even nicer way some day, but it works for now...)

I'm sure the author knew this, but I wanted to iterate it in case anyone misunderstood.
> The fetishization of the nuclear family

Just because you know a big word doesn’t mean you have to use it.

Nuclear families are just what’s left after stripping away larger families which have been the norm throughout human history.
A new option is an induction stove with its own battery. It can run a fridge too. Basically a power wall appliance, with a stove on top.

Interesting. Looking through the release notes and roadmap, it seems to not yet support AMD processors nor have native C (family) compilers yet.

Those are on the roadmap for the 9.2-1 release though, which looks to be for "some time" in the next few months.

Will have to wait until then to look at it, as we don't have Intel processors running anywhere any more.
I'll throw this out there since I've got plenty of other ideas and I just want this to exist. What if there was a platform where people met in a bar in real life then chose a group to meet up with weekly for the next say 4 weeks and did different activities from a preset menu or something?

Since friends are made through repeated interactions and bond more around activities than just eg hanging out, I'd hope this would work better than meeting randoms at a meetup. It'd also filter people who had the time to commit to making friends.

Would anyone be interested in this? Please upvote if you like the sound of this.
Archive.org on my school website indicates it may have been 192 MB ram (I see a posting showing 192 MB as the new laptop config, but I'm not sure if that was when they first switched to the e500, or the slightly bumped version the next year students got, and it was 20 years ago, so my memory is getting hazy anyway), but I don't actually remember how much ram we had; that model shows up on internet spec sites with 64 MB, but it was an engineering school, so maybe they got a better than standard spec. Some students ran Autocad, and something called Mechanical Desktop, which I think was a 3d modelling program, others ran Visual Studio, etc. But I do know XP ran fine with what we had. I was in the Windows beta program when I started, and ran betas and RCs of XP on that machine, and remember XP supporting multimonitor that 2k didn't (it didn't show up until after the release date for XP though; I couldn't get an ATI or Compaq beta driver or anything, sadly).

Either way, a 512 mb machine should have been a beast compared to a laptop with < 256 mb and an ATI Rage Mobility.
I hope that sideloading detection will not be possible for other apps. Enabling Developer Options is not rooting Android devices but that hasn't stopped many banking apps forcing users to completely disable them before they can be opened.
I was out there, helping people who were exposed and such. Protip, N95 masks and dust goggles aren't perfect but they do help, tear gas is actually a powder. Another tip, gas canisters become very hot, so it's important to have some kind of high temp glove when neutralizing them or tossing them back.

In my city, well outside the US, there are friendship groups, dating groups, pub crawl groups, single parent groups, hiking and walking groups, Unreal programming, devops etc.

You have to search a bit for what you're looking for rather than just use the default suggestions it makes from your interests.
IME, everything in SF that young people might want to go to is packed full of young people who made reservations a couple of weeks in advance. Not a lot of venues for drop-in occasions that accommodate 6-20 people dipping in and out.

Edit: I can sort of imagine this happening at a bar with an unusually big patio, like SF's Zeitgeist. Not that Zeitgeist has a huge patio, it's just huge for the area. And if this gathering was always at a bar, I wouldn't go much, because I have a ton of trouble hearing people in bars.
Not a very interesting nitpick then. I guess I should have written "knows that you should have the knowledge to find the answer". If we could teach and be sure that students had learned, we wouldn't need to test them.
It's already my OS of choice for PC gaming. There are exactly two games which require me to ever boot Windows: Fortnite and Modern Warfare 2. Everything else I play runs good enough for me on Proton.
I agree. A DUI costs easily $10K regardless of outcome. Lost opportunity cost of not networking (job opportunity, friend opportunity, happiness, therapy) easily has the same cost over just a few years. Uber is very cheap in comparison… many people don’t make the comparison.
You can keep not having friends then because they need to be life long partners or what ever then. Or don't meet your standards.

Or just be friends with people, some will stick and some pass by. It's how life goes.

Your first sentence makes me wonder how much "taking work home" has compromised our social lives. On any given night trying to catch up with friends, it's likely that at least one will have a deadline they're working to, or trying not to fall behind on workload in general. If you come up against that a couple of times, or have your own work pressures, I find that you're less likely to initiate anything.
It may be proprietary but it's developed by Tuxera, the same lads who created and maintain the NTFS drivers for Linux.
From China's perspective there is still hope for Germany. There are still political forces in Germany who believes in Merkel's old pragmatic change-through-trade approach to foreign policy. Even if Baerbock is not one of them, she represents an administration which clearly have those elements in it.

To me it is obvious what path Germany will take. It cannot do a two-front economic war both against Russia and China at the same time.

So maybe they won't outright insult the US like Macron did but they will not join an US-led cold war on China.
