No, just from not native English speaker. You mention high performance 10GbE hardware without being precise about CPU architecture or vendor/model of the firewall. Apparently high power non-consumer grade hardware, but such hardware lacks PC Engines properties. You also mention accelerators and this is what my comments is about: reality of build firewalls.

My comments is about designs that potentially could meet the requirements, but surprisingly those have different problems. How we know those designs? We consult for firewall vendors doing research. We would be glad to be wrong by being pointed to viable competing solution which can reach score close to PC Engines. Performance is not the only factor for small ISP and security-concious privacy-concerned infrastructure builders.

So it is not that trivial to purposefully build firewall these days that can compete with PC Engines low power consumer/SOHO design.
Electric planes could recharge using solar or wind. As efficiency increases with these technologies, it would mean planes wouldn't require carrying the same watt-for-watt energy as fuel.
While this is true, a tiny start-up with big claims is different from the world's largest battery manufacturer (CATL) already spooling up production with the intent to scale.

A couple more things I'd like to add - please correct me if I'm wrong (I'm a listener, not a practitioner).

One important thing about rāgas that differentiates them from western modes is that they typically come with notions of note ordering. That is, when playing an ascending melody, you may be encouraged to pick different notes than for a descending one. There are a couple of western modes that work in a similar way, but typically only for a single note, and these modes are not widely used.

Another distinction is that while rāgas are like western modes in that they are culturally identified with emotional states, in ICM the emotional states are generally thought of as temporal (time of day, time of year). One does not think of a particular rāga as "sad" or "happy", but rather (for example) associated with sunrise, or twilight, or the deepest part of winter.

Finally, it is important to note that harmony plays very little role in ICM, which has instead developed its ideas regarding melody to a degree substantially beyond western classical music (which has focused a great deal of effort on advancing the concepts and use of harmony). Listening to ICM live with an experienced audience, you may hear gasps as the lead performer swoops up and down melodic lines, in ways that you would never encounter in a western context. For ICM listeners, the choice to play three particular notes one after the other can be a source of intense joy (or, occasionally, intense irritation).

I am hope I am writing about these aspects correctly.
Same with jet fuel on a plane. They calculate the amount to fuel carefully to be efficient but safe. Too much and the plane is heavier and uses more fuel. Too little and you might run out if put into a holding then diverted.

Obviously jet fuel is what it is it wont get more dense but a more efficient engine means less fuel needed means even more efficiency and so on.
That factor 6 already seems to include the efficiency of the engine. Pure chemical energy density of kerosene is 12000 W/kg, 24x the new battery's energy densitiy.

> yes, Linux is now pwned by corporate interests

While Linux is big business it is not {p|o}wned by big business. If those corporate interests suddenly all jump in bed with Microsoft (et al.) Linux-the-kernel will still be there as a free software project. Running it on new hardware may become harder but it will still run, drivers may be harder to come by but they will still be developed. Things will go back to where they started with Linux-the-kernel being developed by volunteers, The rest of what makes a Linux distribution will still be developed, projects like Gnome and the various Redhat-sponsored [1] infrastructure projects will suffer but there are so many alternatives that this will not be an issue.

Well, they were already possible and being sold. But with relatively short but usable ranges. Those now more than double with this battery. Which makes those planes usable in a lot more scenarios.

Consider the Eviation Alice, one of the 9 passenger prototype electrical planes that is currently undergoing test flights (i.e. it definitely works). The advertised range is 250nm. Not amazing. But far enough for a lot of regional flights.

What would happen if you double the battery capacity without increasing the weight? You more than double that range. This is counter intuitive until you realize that you are not going to need more energy for taking off, or reserves. All that extra energy goes into extending cruise range. So you get more than 250nm extra. Basically, it's probably getting closer to 600nm. That's still not amazing but there are a lot of flights every day that are much shorter than that. All of those are now doable with electrical planes. At a fraction of the fuel cost.

Most flights are short haul. And they are, well, short. Which means, all of those are in scope for electrical planes. Small planes work well for these too. You don't have to cram hundreds of people in a plane if you eliminate fuel cost as a major cost factor. That's the only reason we do that. It's not like it's pleasant or comfortable. 20 ten passenger planes can do the work of one passenger jet. But it can do it more flexible and cover more destinations too.

Electrical planes are not about doing exactly the same things that we do with traditional planes but about doing a lot more than that. Basically, less noise, less pollution, less cost, means that a whole lot of flights that would be considered decadent and obscene right now become perfectly feasible and reasonable. A ten minute hop across town. Why not? Live 70 miles from your office? Not a problem, you commute there in under 15 minutes. For the price of a few cups of coffee.
I've written a lot of code in my life. It's fun to think about how much of it gave me a lot of grief when I was writing it and it's not even running anymore haha. On the flip side, it's a bit existential to think about code I've written outliving me and running on peoples' machines long after I'm gone...
Replacing transatlantic flights is out of the question (for batteries for now). But there exists shorter routes, and according to this list [1] on Wikipedia, the busiest route in the world is 449km long. That's probably also not doable now, but maybe in some years?

For the first years it will probably only be a few wierd, short routes in rich countries like Norway with 110% financial support from the state. But when they can safely fly 5-600km there is a actually quite a number of routes with a lot of passengers out there.

> quite practical for recreation and short flights

Perfectly agree with everything, but 1.5hr may be very short if you need to have 30 minutes of reserve at landing. On the saving side, you don’t have to have an alternator to transform ICE energy into energy for the dashboard instruments. On the downside, you now need to heat the cabin manually, rather than reusing the ICE heat.
The back of the Apple watch is also spending most of its time snug against your wrist, or down against a charger, while being relatively thick and uniform. It's not a 60cm wide, 20cm tall target for anything that falls on your desk, it's not made of 100 different, tiny little caps that all need to be light enough to not trigger automatically.

The conditions are _slightly_ different, and knowing your apple watch uses ceramics doesn't make you a materials engineer.
I'm in the same boat as I haven't read or watched the news deliberately for years. The important stuff is going to get through to me anyway.

But people need to have an option to know. You need access to information for healthy society, even if you mostly don't consume it. News is information, even the articles you posted.
Maybe dropping battery just before landing could be a thing - on a small parachute or some catch ground in front of landing strip.

Silly as it sounds just thinking :)
Even then, it's better to know you are being short-changed. Alas, France's problem is an old one, the executive has too much power. It was maybe good for people like de Gaulle, but most leaders can't burden the responsibility properly.
First demo of the Humane upcoming AI-powered wearable device
Bowser was ordered by a court to pay $4.5m restitution to Nintendo after pleading guilty to two criminal charges (the specific charges he pled guilty to are unclear, but he was charged with fraud, DMCA circumvention, conspiracy and others). Separately, Nintendo brought a civil suit against him, and the court entered a judgement in favour of Nintendo (following a consent agreement) for $10m.

These are debts that Bowser owes, and whether certain of his income is taxable or not is not relevant to whether it is available to pay those debts. A "private settlement" would still be very unlikely to contain some specific list of sources of income that were affected by the debt.

Should he decide to adopt your (very strange, especially for a former lawyer) stance in your grandparent comment that non-taxable income would somehow be, by virtue of its tax treatment, shielded from these debts, he would simply find himself back in court for failing to pay.
A lot of people are claiming you need a prescription to purchase one; that is actually untrue in practice. You need a prescription to get insurance to pay for it but there are plenty of websites that sell dexcom (the best kind) devices dtc. Just search “dexcom purchase” on your favorite search engine. You’ll have to spend several hundred dollars though. Also there are services like levels or January.ai which white-label Abbott devices and handle all the prescription stuff for you.

I did that (removed the app) but I got used to the browser. So I added a block on NextDNS that I can turn on if I need to (eg: to ask a stupid question and get low-grade semi-official support for some thing - though I actually find that I'm the one answering questions)

I do occasionally forget to block it after using it, and within a week I'm doom-scrolling again. But I eventually have a moment of clarity and block it, and I'm back to normal again.

I don't think people ever completely give things up unless they have one of those addictive personalities and find themselves tipsy on Monday morning, or completely plastered every night at 9pm. I don't have an addictive personality because I have this voice that tells me "you're doing this again,stop!" And that tends to work. So I treat Reddit like beer or chocolate. I self-moderate my intake. A blocker is enough. It's the equivalent of NEVER having a stash of beer or chocolate in the house. I actually need to plan my intake by explicitly adding them to a shopping list, and even then I just buy 2 small cans of some weird hazy IPA or a small-but-ridiculously-expensive chocolate. That way I can occasionally treat myself without falling off the wagon.
This is true, but if we did try to sustain our current growth trajectory on biofuel, this would accelerate at a dizzying rate.
Notably missing from the release:

- cost?
- what new chemicals are involved and what is the environmental impact?
- how many cycles can the new battery take?
- volume? (density is always shown as weight/mass, it's not the only thing that matters)?
- how does it behave under environmental changes (temp / pressure / etc ...)
Yeah, that's a shared problem among these "let an algorithm type commands for me" projects. What I would thoroughly enjoy, however, would be ChatGPT-assisted autocomplete and suggestions in the shell. Somewhat similar to Copilot, but for the terminal, suggesting commands I might use next, directories I could want to navigate to, and so on. Maybe with a key binding to cycle through different suggestions.

Is there something like that yet?
That's fair, my point was just that you made it sound like "mature aerospace companies" were some special beings that didn't make mistakes.

It's good to learn from other people's mistakes, but you also can't let everything people have done before go unchallenged or no progress would ever be made from rockets that cost $2B per launch.

Nothing stops you from using closed source solutions for that.
You may not have a choice in the matter as more and more countries are thinking of/implementing ICE bans in the near future.
The problem here is single-engine planes losing engine on takeoff. Would be almost non-issue with electrics.
I first heard L. Shankar playing against a 9.5 beat tala, and the concept blew my mind. In western terms, it means that the relationship between the rythm and melody (plus any harmony if there is any) shifts 0.5 beats every cycle: for one cycle, the rythm may feel ahead, or on time, and for the next it may feel on time, or late. It's a fascinating technique that I think has no true analog in western music.

It is true that many forms of african-derived music in the US will shift the precise position of beats to create swing/syncopation/dilla-time, but this is generally done on a per-note basis, not on a per-cycle basis as happens with a half-beat tala.
That scales with distance. If you're driving 30kph slower for 2 hours, it makes a difference. If you're heading 10-15km to the shop or the creamery, it's not so terrible. Speaking as someone who was a speed freak as a new driver, and sets my cruise at 78 in an 80 zone today...speed ain't everything. You wouldn't want to drive one of these kei vehicles on long trips, anyway.
It was something I had never considered but it is wild to think about. I believe it was Vaclav Smil that highlighted it to me. On its longest trip an A380(I think?) takes off weighing 400 tons and lands weighing 200 tons. That kind of thing is just cool to ponder.
Sounds about as realistic as shooting nuclear waste into space.

Awesome write up, a lot of effort must have gone into this.

Carbon neutral synthetic fuels might make sense for airliners, because they're already pretty efficient, reliable and incomprehensibly powerful and there's tons of other stuff in them that'd require maintenance even if you took out the engines.

They don't make sense for general aviation planes that are usually a fifty year-old engine design that requires expensive overhauls and guzzles expensive fuel wrapped in a bit of aluminum.
We might have a different view on what "brevity" means, then. The ITU/NATO alphabet you mentioned is a prime example of brevity. Other examples include those used by air traffic control and fighter pilots.

survivor bias. Nothing magical about tcl/tk (cool as it is) that makes guis more usable, sadly. Nothing in modern gui libraries that prevents good usability design either.

Guis have always been more discoverable and just better for certain tasks, usually where you want to see something with immediate updatable feedback but the gui libraries have always been terrible. They were terrible 30 years ago, and 20 and 10 and still today.

I don't have answers.
> Oh and of course they now want to build nuclear plants after they've shown for the last 30years that we have reached a state of more dysfunctional oligarchy than the Soviet Union ever was

I can't express how much I hate this. In terms of technology and engineering, nuclear is now so mature that it should be used everywhere solar doesn't make sense. Yet, in terms of politics, society and governance, we are still stuck in the state of 1970s. Putting nuclear in their hands is just irresponsible

The article isnt comparing SF to places like Seattle or Chicago (Seattle is actually in their 10 most expensive). They are comparing to places like El Paso or Oklahoma City, which are much less expensive.
How was this achieved? It seemed like battery energy density improvements were very marginal. I'd expect that this type of jump could only be achieved with a new significant insight, but the article seems to say it's just traditional process done better and newer. That's very vague:

> the condensed battery integrates a range of innovative technologies, including the ultra-high energy density cathode materials, innovative anode materials, separators, and manufacturing processes

Are these all things that are common knowledge now, and they're just the first ones to slap them all together, and that it's a short matter of time before all battery manufacturers start providing much better density? Or is there something more to it?
The anecdotes of Google locking out accounts makes me distrust Google SSO. From memory:

For an alleged violation on one Google service, all the other services were disabled too.

For an alleged violation from one Google account, all the other accounts of the person were disabled too.

All accounts of a company were disabled because of one employee's alleged misdeeds.

Key numbers: They doubled Wh/kg from about 280 to about 500.

I assume that thinking about battery capacity form first principles, the theoretical limit is reached when the charged battery consists of 50% matter and 50% antimatter, right?

Then during discharge, the reaction between the two would turn the matter/antimatter into energy.

How would that stack up against the 500Wh/kg stated here?

Update:

Did a bit of googling (Note to my future self: AI was still bad at math in 2023): Looks like 1kg of mass cointains about 25x10^9 Wh.

So if the above assumptions are right, we still have 8 orders of magnitude to go. An electric car with an optimal battery could go 100,000,000 times further on a single charge than the current ones.
Haha I remember that the internal name for it was DoomSwish for a while a or something like that due to the fast inverse square root being often (I think wrongfully?) attributed to John Carmack. But it was used in Quake anyways right? XD

It's pretty wild how few people say what they mean, and as a result people will end up trying to parse what you're saying for anything but face value.

slightly contrived example: if I ask someone if they would like to go to the beach they'll probably assume I want to go to the beach. As opposed to what I meant to say and actually said. I mean sure, fine, fair enough, if that question is code for "I would like to go to the beach" then I can deal with that. But how am I then supposed to ask if you would like to go? maybe I'm ambivalent but would be okay with going if you would like to.

Now the above example is fairly harmless, but add in a lot of bullshit around people trying to parse emotions from sentences and you can see how this gives autistic people a lot of trouble.
And most of those cyclists would love to be on a bike lane instead, but those often just don't exist.

From personal experience it's also annoying when I get hate from car drivers who assume I deliberately use the road instead of the "bike lane" which is in fact only meant for pedestrians, but try to explain that in half a second while passing and when the official road markings are only visible with forensic tools.
I don't think anyone is surprised? If the government promises to spend $800B, you're going to have people advocating on how it's spent.

But these devices are not really built for non-diabetics. There is a constant barrage of alerts as my blood sugar regularly dips into hypoglycemic levels. I feel fine but the device purposefuly does not have any way to disable the alarm.
