I'm not estimating anything, I'm asking you to provide the proof of coal's superiority over nuclear. If the numbers are so clear in favor of coal's guaranteed damage against nuclear's risks, you should have no problem convincing me.

So go ahead, show us the estimates. And if you say that estimating is impossible, then why do you insist my estimate is wrong? Sorry, I'm not buying the "impossible" part. Show us the data and the reasoning.
This is not true afaik. IQ has been shown to not be constant through development [0,1].

So while adult/college IQ scores have been correlated with success (equivalents are used university admissions after all). I am not aware of any studies/data sets that show a strong correlation of IQ as measured in six year olds and adult success. Also any study tracking IQ over time is going to have significant problems with goodhart's law.

I mean, do you? In the article you make a lot of very bold statements but you give very little citations.
Tech is a rare industry where you can easily pivot into it later in your career, start at an entry level position, work your way very high up the ladder and get paid very well along the way.

That's not likely to be possible anymore. Microsoft's net income went 9x in the last two decades. Apple's 475x. I don't think this kind of growth is going to continue.

The replies advocating for Microsoft to strong-arm a country into submission are chilling.
You got one source. There are other sources that say it will happen sooner. Many other sources and these sources are not obscure.

Given multiple sources saying different things, It's hard to predict. Though what we are seeing are feedback loops that are causing exponential effects. I would say although we don't know... before 2100 is a realistic and viable possibility.

Gambling solely on 2000 years because it's a more convenient prediction would be unwise.

Either way, even if we don't know, now if sea levels do rise at a pace that will occur before 2100 we would eventually see it and adjust our reaction speed accordingly.
I feel like the Manim[1] library Grant created to make these videos is becoming some sort of "video matplotlib". I've seen it used in so many maths videos up to this point. There seems like a good amount of value in creating a simple, structured and clear way to represent these concepts in videos.

I have maybe 10 almost-written articles. I stopped to write each when I realized they became too private for me.
Xbox is loss leading hard for Microsoft right now. Profits are down, console sales are down, and things on the horizon are looking not too great. If Xbox spun off, they’d go out of business within the decade because there’s no reason to own one besides taking advantage of Microsoft’s net-negative gaming subscription.
One option to investigate this would be to study children from highly varied cultures around the world. In fact it seems almost obvious that the study of brains is nearly worthless without such diversity. But that would be difficult and expensive.
>I don't think people are as committed to their social causes as they claim

I'd have to pay $10-15k more money to get a smaller car that wouldn't fit my young family loaded up for a 2 night trip at my sisters. We'd have to stop at the one charger available in a 2 hour radius off our route, and still would risk getting stranded due to range issues if driving during the winter. We make these trips monthly.

It's not elitism, it's that people have economic constraints, the electrics cars in the marketplace are at a cost differential that equates to a year of college, and have huge real world disadvantages compared to lower cost alternatives.

Very true. It also didn't help that the little promotion they did framed it as a comedy.
As a centrist Democratic voter, I find it disappointing that only the Republicans seem to be pushing back against these practices. There needs to be bipartisan outrage, so that opposition to coercive programs like this is not seen as a "right wing talking point." Otherwise all Democrats will be tarred as left-wing extremists, with grave consequences for election outcomes.
That would be a country/corpo war and too cyberpunk to my taste. I don’t agree with the decision, but this is not the way to solve this.

that's literally me... I've observed that it takes about 4 days between carb consumption and mental breakdown. Also before the mental breakdown appears, the smell changes from nice to sour. The sour smell seems to be connected to high stress, it's really hard to remove from clothes.

SmartTube (for Google/Android TV) used to allow this but a recent update has removed the other speed increments and it now only lets you use the usual increments you find on YouTube. :(
That's the first time I've heard that. Curious what about it makes it harder for you. That's a shame, but it seems like 3b1b doesn't cater to your learning style!
I really wish they would invest more into the subtitles. Korean has a myriad of ways to convey something, each with a distinct meaning and often times the translation is just super lazy.
Yes! I would love to expand to more languages! I am prioritizing the ones I understand otherwise it becomes really hard ha. So, yeah, I will add more languages :)
No.

Just because you don't understand the safety mechanisms doesn't mean they aren't there.
Let’s add that twitter has/had peaks up to the billion concurrent users scale during important global events.
Nothing in your post has anything to do with free markets... markets maybe, but copyright is not a "free market".... it is by definition a monopoly

a free market in content would be requiring the copyright holder to following something like FRAND for patents, and disallow them from making "exclusive" deals with one provider, this would then mean the market would be on price, speed, other competitive factors not on content library
Let Mastodon die and let Nostr take over. Nostr to me sounds superior in pretty much every way.

My personal bar of what counts as AAA I guess? It actually started quite well, but second half of the series drags down the average in terms of story/screenwriting/camera/VFX. It doesn't stand near the likes of Foundation, Game of Thrones, Mrs. Maisel, Mr. Robot, The Wire

Doing TV is a marathon, perhaps Dark showrunners are more of sprinter people and should do movies instead.
I’ve been around since before the Internet was available to most folks. Seen it grow, lived through Eternal September, watched all the technology revolutions come and go. It’s fun reading predictions like this some times.

In the late aughts FB was only getting started. xkcd drew a map of the Internet at the time where FB became a huge land mass and all of the other popular sites at the time were beginning to dwindle as little islands and archipelagos. Funny how from then until 2016 or so that FB continued to dominate and take over.

Google, Twitter, etc joined the fray too and the idea of centralized social networks taking over everything became the new normal. Businesses replaced their websites with Facebook pages and Instagram accounts. Developers stopped hosting their vanity sites and wrote Medium articles instead.

But before all of that got going, before VC money and HN and the current crop of IPOs took hold, there was a period in the early aughts when much of the foundations of what we know the Internet today was built… by hobbyists, hackers, and the OSS community. Some of us worked at company’s that funded our efforts, some of us built things to satisfy our own needs and communities.

But many predicted it would all go away under the pressures of capital and an influx of non-technical, casual users.

In a sense it did. But I think Mastodon and ActivityPub’s continued existence and thriving communities wouldn’t have been predicted by someone in 2016-2017.

Doomed? We’ll see.
It would be interesting to see what that looks like adjusted for location/COL. It's possible the comp due to cost of living with a high concentration of devs in one area might be enough to influence this. Until we understand that and compare it to the distribution for physicians, it would be hard to draw any conclusions from it.
It was specifically Park Chan-wook and Kim Ki-duk that my friends outside the arthose/festival circuit rejected at the time, though, for example Seom or even Old-boy, as "too foreign".

I think the internet- and streaming-driven globalization of media & subsequent exposure have definitely reduced the sort of knee-jerk inhibitions against watching something where the entire cast of characters is non-Western, or something subtitled. Content outside the Western bubble has increasingly lost the "this is a little strange and foreign" patina for average people in the millenials and younger gen.

If you're below 25, and your fav sports team is perhaps an e-sports team from Korea rather than your local football club, you may not even realize people really, broadly used to think like that.

When I was young, it was nearly impossible to watch a non-dubbed movie in theaters in Germany unless you lived in a major city, and even then it would be a special screening stuffed into an 11pm slot for the nerds. Which meant that content that didn't get dubbed would never be seen, and hardly anything not from Hollywood or major European countries would get dubbed. Now a big chunk of the programming in any theater is "original audio" screenings and it's no longer something that strikes people as odd to attend at all. Many countries' cinemas now get to contend in the market.
There was another one recently this past year where the pilot landed on Interstate 355.
This is more like the Netflix model than the traditional timed exclusives model.

E.g. the platform owner also owns all content production to stuff its channel with content.

In the short term this can be good for gamers (as long as the platform owner throws absurd amounts of money around for content production in order to grow the subscription base), but I can't see this being good for the long run, especially when there are only two or three big players on the market, and no more independent game developers and publishers are left (Activision/Blizzard isn't exactly a fountain of creativity of course, so that's a bad example).

No, because they're setting acquired_at which marks it as "handled". You only need FOR UPDATE (SKIP LOCKED) if you want to process the event inside a transaction; but the approach in the article is to just bulk "grab the events and mark them as done, atomically"
A technologically interesting product and a relevant commercial product are two vastly different things. Problem with these projects is they are driven by technical curiosity instead of being run like businesses.

The sweet spot is finding ways in which decentralization fits use cases that centralization cannot provide, all while being vastly superior to everything else. That hasn’t been the case so far for social media.
>has been one of maybe only a couple "great" stewards of the gaming industry for consumers

I'm not sure I'd give them much credit on this, since MS/Xbox hasn't achieved much at all in the gaming industry over recent years. Maybe there's not much egregious evil there a-la Activision's leadership scandals, but the track record is not great.

As a gaming industry consumer who's been playing Microsoft consoles and games my entire life, MS has recently:

- Ruined the Halo franchise

- Stymied the current console gen with the Series S' weak memory capabilities

- Acquired multiple beloved studios and released little to nothing over 5+ years, with their highest profile release being Starfield, the game Bethesda was already developing when MS bought them and made it a platform exclusive

- Edit: Forgot trying to turn the Xbox One into an always-online TV set-top box

Spinning off Xbox might be a good idea, if it's MS' senior leadership that keeps hamstringing their success. Because if the Activision acquisition proceeded like their previous studio acquisitions, we would see one or two Activision games release in the next decade, along with maybe a mediocre COD TV show.

While trig is used for starting on calculus now, in practice, I never had to use trig for ML. Most of the work was in numerical differentiation and integrations. I would think trig usefulness is more in some hard sciences while ML has a much more horizontal applicability.

It is possible to teach calculus without trig (just for polynomials) and I think it is very useful just at that level.

It is an important part, that’s true. But not every scene/forum/product needs to reach the kind of scale where you would start thinking about running Superbowl ads.
Nice to hear! I'm in the same position! Trying to keep it going and to find new ways to keep it interesting.
Xbox is Microsoft's only consumer division that has substantial revenue. Even consumer office brings in half of what Xbox does.

Microsoft is making the right moves here slowly shifting away from hardware (no profit) into software in the gaming space, but it's going to take some more time to do so.

Potentially it makes more sense to drop xcloud (huge black hole for the next ~10 years), to adhere to CMA's claims of them dominating the cloud gaming space, so they can continue with Game Pass (the part that actually matters for Xbox).
My biggest problem with Mastodon is I'm not really getting good casual interactions. I thought it would be more "open" and free flowing conversation, but its largely been this loud echo chamber of opinions and organic discussion of different things hasn't really materialized the way I hoped (this is, in fact, something I do get out of current Twitter, believe it or not)

I have tried interacting with different instances and what not, going more niche community hasn't materialized very well, traction is really low
Ironically there’s probably more authenticity and realism in the western shows than the fantasy worlds of most kdramas and animes.
So the approximate fair market cost is roughly 10 cents per month? 5 cents for server costs, double that for a decent profit margin?

So maybe charge $2/year for the service or something?
This is exactly what emacs-ng does?

https://emacs-ng.github.io/emacs-ng/

> This project should be considered an additive native layer over emacs, bringing features like Deno's Javascript and Async I/O environment, Mozilla's Webrender, and other features in development. emacs-ng's approach is to utilize multiple new development approaches and tools to bring Emacs to the next level. It is maintained by a team that loves Emacs and everything it stands for - being totally introspectable, with a fully customizable and free development environment. We want Emacs to be a editor 40+ years from now that has the flexibility and design to keep up with progressive technology.

I guess it uses webrender instead of electron?
Usually if you somehow end up in this kind of sales funnel, you get offered a ridiculously cheap first year subscription. Say $20 for first year, but then it's $12 a month after that. You call to cancel, and they'll keep dropping the price until it's back to that $2 or $3 a month.
I was wondering this too. Does this also affect whether they can do business there?

From this map you might think that the UK is currently depending (96.5%) on fossil fuels. But it's not quite that bad: https://grid.iamkate.com/

The real eye-opener (for me) on the latter display is the emissions per kwh over all time - dropped steadily from 500g in (only!) 2012 to a steady 150g or so recently. Encouraging!
In the USA there was a circuit split on this in 2020 at least [1]. In the European union this form of copying is explicitly excepted in general under Directive 2001/29/EC Article 5(1) see [2]. Specifically in Germany (where LAION is established) it is permitted under Section 44a of the UrhG [3] . One could also argue based on Section 44b of same.

More seriously, I think the best you can do is not expect to find happiness in a setting that you don't fully control (ie your job), accept that, and look for joy elsewhere. It might be another job, it might be another hobby. Work fewer hours.
Because it is nearly impossible for it to be truly anonymous.
Also another reason - a generation site may be curtailed, meaning that its output is restricted due to grid capacity limitations, and allowing it to export more energy onto the local power network may exceed safe operating parameters for the lines connecting the generation site to the grid.

Therefore in high wind, you would expect that in areas of dense generation, especially those with limited capacity interconnects to the rest of the grid, curtailment may be seen.
It's not that important for the EU. The summary is John Deere would put chips in their tractors that were aware if you replaced a part. If you replaced that part, the tractor would brick until you took it to the dealership to update the computer.

Honestly, it's not really build quality and range that are my primary complaints about my Model 3. It's windshield wipers, phantom braking, and awful voice recognition. Those are the ones that annoy me most.

Also the heated steering wheel is like a binary switch, the vinyl is cheap and slippery (really noticeable on the steering wheel), road noise is loud, seats are just meh, phone-based access sometimes spotty, have to reboot once a week because music streaming hangs, and the headlights are an older matrix technology that has a mediocre pattern without even supporting the actual intended functionality of a matrix headlight.

But those are relatively minor in the grand scheme. Lots of cars have little annoyances like that. On balance I'm satisfied with the purchase, but I think it's unlikely that I'll buy another if there's an alternative. My next EV won't be a compromise, it'll have the performance -and- a nice interior with good seats.
You can also anger users which will destroy their loyalty. And without their loyalty, there will be no profit.

Part of the fun experience of using Netflix was account sharing with your friends. It was a social aspect that contributed and encouraged keeping the subscription. Without it, using it alone is getting really boring.
I'm sure all the Falcon 9s that landed themselves was just luck.
That naming is rather maddening.
The development experience indeed uses the world's most popular JS tools (otherwise no one would use it), npm and node. But it looks like the server implementation is all c++ leveraging the existing we view framework to do it's thing. So the user footprint is indeed node-free.

Your line of inquiry feels semi hostile to me & I'd like a lot to see a little more naunce & moderation & tentativeness rather than all guns blazing.

Most of your post seems to be about developer experience, of whether developers need node or what the build time is. Personally I think the choices here are incredibly smart & sensible, make perfect sense, and do a great job to do the most important thing, which is give the developers enormous leverage to build a maximally lightweight & fast desktop webapp.
Sorta? Like you're right, there's not compiled machine code that does a jump. But Ruby's case statement has nice semantics to make clear code out of what could be a complex if/elsif/else chain. The use of the === function is powerful, and lets the reader of the code focus on the condition, not the function call to check it.

if (patternA.match(input))
elsif (patternB.match(input))
else
end

vs

case input
when patternA
when patternB
else
end

And since it uses ===, you can define that on your own classes too. Hypothetically for instance, you can make fairly complex policy type classes to make reusable boolean statements.

case current_user
when NotValidatedEmail
when NotCompletedOnboarding
when SomethingElse
else
end

and then you can use those elsewhere in the code by leveraging the more global use of ===

[user1, user2].any?(NotCompletedOnboarding)
