The article you linked is full of opinionated pessimistic whining, but since its over 3 years old its easy to compare its negative outlook on renewable focused policy with actual results:

According to https://energy-charts.info/charts/renewable_share/chart.htm, current german electricity mix is ~50% renewable since beginning of the year. Used to be 35% in 2018. So the "unreachable" target of 80% in 2050 seems completely trivial; just keep doing things at a similar rate and that target is in reach within a single decade (!!).

Intermittency of renewable sources is a problem that has multiple perfectly viable solutions, namely overprovisioning, storage, grid connectivity and peaker plants. Finding the most cost effective mix of those (and adjusting it over time as technology evolves) is a problem that the free market is perfectly equipped to solve.

Area consumption is not a big issue, neither for solar nor for wind, because roofs and agriculture (and the off-shore option in the case of wind).

Nuclear power is a bad mix with renewables because it's already too expensive and building it for peak loads makes that drastically worse since it's all fixed cost basically. Gas powered plants are super attractive with renewables because of the very same dynamics (cheap installation costs and variable costs that largely depend on actual utilization).

In the extremely unlikely case that battery technology fails completely it would always be possible to use hydrogen as energy storage in combination with refitted gas peaker plants. But that scenario appears unlikely to me.

Also note that renewables have already overtaken nuclear power in the US, too; given recent experiences with the nuclear industry it seems EXTREMELY unlikely to me that this trend would ever reverse.
What is the industry standard for indie and mobile games?
After Intel acquired Altera they released a series of x86 Xeon chips with integrated FPGAs. Look up the Xeon 6138P.
They say their codebase includes 400k lines of Haskell code (plus 4.5M lines of Mu). Also, they use GHC which is a huge Haskell program, and they customize it with their own extensions etc.

As they copy Haskell library code and only sometimes modify it, I would count it as Haskell code until they modify it.
The log-normal is one of the distributions that can lead to a perfectly tame project or to everything blowing out and no expectation being met with the same numbers, just by changing the estimation methodology.

That said, I don't think the findings on that article generalize well. There seem to exist some properties that makes many software projects more erratic than a log-normal would imply.
This whole interest rate cutting exercise and its obvious effects on various markets also really made the economy seem fake ....

The period of 10 years where rates were 0%+/- with 2-3++% inflation was the fake economy 5% rates with 5% inflation is the real world.
Especially considering that it is so widespread in nearly every creature with a brain. And it’s not simply a period of motionless energy conservation but has very specific neural patterns. The science is definitely zeroing in on a connection to learning.
I have just finished restoring a NeXTcube and was surprised how modern the environment feels: neworking, interface, unix tooling, .. To get to know the environment I compiled the original httpd server and managed to get it compiling after only tweaking the makefile a bit, very similar to what still is sometimes needed on Linux.

The usability of the NeXT computers also had a lasting impact on interactive music applications with the introduction of MAX at IRCAM:

I agree with that too, and admitted to such in my previous comment. Still, being the first practitioner of this comes with a certain responsibility for its proliferation. It's not a sole responsibility to your point, but it is primary in a way. It's a lot easier for others to decide to copy what someone else did than to decide to be the first to do it.

To the same point, Google is arguably the reason it persists today given the popularity of Chrome. Just as Microsoft is arguably the reason it started. (I suppose I could have been more careful in the phrasing of my initial comment since "is so useless" could imply both but I don't think it's particularly egregious.)
I’ll add another comment here as i am rather blown away by how far linux has come - why not recommend linux to your clients? They’d save money and get a better experience. If all they do is browse the web or read emails then linux is perfect for them. Let alone it can play steam games and runs some windows apps rather well these days. It will also reduce ewaste and give them better security and privacy.
I absolutely will be :-) And I really hope that it will have these features as I would really love to have Framework laptop and support RtR!
I’m on Mac, and I find Obsidian and Raycast to be two of my probably most used apps. Little Snitch is useful, and so is occasionally Numi.
Nowhere near CUDA. Maybe OpenCL and Metal replacement because nobody bothers to support them, so just a fallback option for AMD and ARM chips.
Amazon health just has people agree they can violate hipaa, what's preventing anyone from updating their eula and ignoring this?
What a year it's been. I wrestle with all kinds of issues. The core is that I'm just not the kind of person I was 5 years ago, and not in a positive direction. 2018 jvanderbot was much more ambitious, fit, friendly, social, and active.

I was laid off in OCT right as I bought a house and moved cross country, am struggling to make an impact at new job, even though they have short timelines and high hopes. I had strep for nearly two months somehow, my dad died, and my kids are taking up increasing amounts of time. I enjoy side projects but am frankly too low energy to do anything but play games with friends most nights, which I'm lucky to be able to do. On top of that marriage is getting rocky.

In a few years my kids will go to school, and the violence targeting children is depressing.

I've come to the conclusion that life is meaningless, disappointing, and short. People are selfish and incapable of real help when needed. I am treading water until I can come to terms with that.

Im trying to exercise, have done therapy before and it never helps, and am on medication and so on. There's just not much I seem to be able to do at the moment, so, continue treading water.

Hi from the Codeium team. It's awesome to hear you are allowing other code LLMs to be used on the Replit platform (we're big fans)! We'd love to enable our free chrome extension on Replit.

Anyone working in a facility like this is absolutely wearing multiple dosimeters.

They will have a cumulative exposure meter, this measures a total amount of dosage over a period of time and is how official things like monthly/yearly/lifetime limits for radiation workers are calculated. This meter is for things like "oops you went 2% over your yearly radiation dose and it's only November you have to stop working until January or you increase your lifetime cancer risk by .94%"

They will also have an acute meter, this is basically a tiny geiger counter which alarms above specific levels. This is for situations like "oh shit that pipe you just stepped next to has a leak and if you don't leave the room in the next 60 seconds, your never going to have any kids (or much worse)."

In some highly critical locations, it's possible for people to wear multiples of each of these, especially the cumulative meters because they are cheap and there might be multiple stakeholders who each have a process for ensuring compliance (e.g. your employer requires one, the facility requires one and the government requires one) -- this is rare bureaucratic nonsense but happens.

For the acute meters you might have multiple just for redundancy. It would really suck if you don't find out you're getting an abnormal dose until your friend walks into the room you've been standing in for an hour, or worse, when your cumulative meter is read days/weeks later.
> I don't understand what you mean by sleight of hand.

He means that it implicitly smuggles in a certain conclusion. For instance, "I think therefore I am" seems logically sound, but actually begs the question in presupposing "I" to then conclude that "I" exists.

Or ask an innocent person a question like, "when did you stop beating your wife?"

> There are many synonymous ways of phrasing the question: e.g., describe the subjective experience of a bat.

If you can describe a subjective experience in a way that is not circularly tied to experiencing it, is it really subjective experience? If you can formulate an objective description, then the subjective experience was an illusion all along, because "subjective" doesn't mean what we think it means, ie. "non-objective".

This is the linguistic game the OP is referring to. Natural language can lead you into all sorts of traps like, thinking there's something there but it's really just a conceptual mirage we've sort of invented.
I got a brand new 12th gen intel Framework 13 and it still cannot enter sleep correctly. If it falls asleep due to battery, it reboots. Framework forums report tons of people with the same problem.

It's pretty annoying.

When behind a captive portal, you need to load some page over http to allow the device MITM you. Nice devices will have built in captive portal checking, but not all devices are built nicely.

On some devices typing “neverssl.com” will try to resolve https://neverssl.com without any form of http fallback. It may be actually pretty difficult to type :// on some devices too.

On these devices, if you ever visit “neverssl.com” when not behind a captive portal, you will get a a catchable redirect to http.

Then the next time you are behind a captive portal, if you type “neverssl.com” the browser resolve it to https like always, but will remember the cached redirect, and try to load the http version, letting you land at the captive portal page.

Yeah but more importantly the post suggests there are likely terrestrial explanations which obey the laws of physics as we understand them contrary to what's been depicted in the media recently.

I want to believe, but I agree with the author of the post that we need to see some evidence that's outside of the "Low Information Zone"

No treatment for depression and anxiety was really given (which is what I was saying I wanted), I was ignored by the therapist and social worker assigned to me, and the contact that I wished to hear from was conveniently removed from my file.

If you had the capacity to self-direct your care, you wouldn't have needed to be in a mental hospital in the first place. You would have done the rational thing and sought help from somewhere other than a crisis intervention center. You were clearly also a minor at the time. Mental hospitals do suck for many reasons but your expectations are/were unrealistic.

As an adult, you'll have the same experience declaring bankruptcy and bemoaning why nobody will give you a credit card. "Helping" you means trusting someone else to pull you out of the pit and not letting you jump right back into it. Sometimes that means not letting you make phone calls with whoever on the outside contributed to your being there.

I don't disagree with your opinion that it's all a joke (especially for what it costs; just send your ass to summer camp) but the solution is not to literally let the lunatics run the asylum. Go to Discord for that.

This is a weird thing to write to a stranger. I suppose there will be no need to caution people about rudeness or making strange assumptions in the utopian future where humans only talk to chatbots, though.
Sigh. One example of A is not a proof that not-A does not exist.

Besides, even in semi-conductors there is plenty of research justified only by curiosity. Some of those turn out to be important after the fact; that’s the nature of research.

After reading a few "Who wants to be hired" threads, I began wondering...

How do you measure/benchmark your knowledge/skillset?

This has been a long-term pain point for me. Given the prevalence of "imposter syndrome", I imagine this is a problem for others too.
That definitely caused the TP "crisis" but it was sustained by lag on the supply side. Paper manufacturing was tooled up to make "commercial" toilet paper, which saw an immediate drop in demand when we suddenly stopped going to the office. Manufacturers had to re-tool for residential toilet paper, which saw an immediate and sustained rise in demand.

In retrospect, I'd say that the first wave of people overstocking TP weren't totally irrational.

Honestly, anyone who can't do the three sentence real world applications routine is either ambivalent enough about a life doing research that it wouldn't make sense to reorganize around retaining them or is so bad at politics (not even complicated politics! more than one friend at once politics!) that realistically the many many other social demands will have driven them away regardless. Smart has nothing to do with it.
I have a sense that once Apple figures out their own 5G/Wifi modem silicon, they will offer 5g connectivity from MacBooks within a 2-3 years of deploying it across the iPhone range. I also anticipate they'd offer their own data plans similar to how they do with the 5G iPad

Notice that while this paper talks about insolvency caused by depositor runs, that's not the only way banks can go insolvent.

In 2008 Bear Stearns and Lehman went insolvent not because of depositors (neither of them were big in the deposit market) but because counterparties wouldn't trade with them because of fear of overnight jump to default.

So when people say "this time it's different" in that way yes it is. But it's not good news - just that there are multiple ways in which a bank's business model depends on others (depositors and trading counterparties in these examples) for various forms of liquidity and can be extremely fragile in the event of a liquidity crisis.
I find it fascinating that so many people here jump to the assumption that the average person doesn’t get that giving a 28% chance of victory doesn’t mean they can’t win

Clearly. Its not a difficult concept.

But those same people are wholly unable to see that all the other verbiage and propaganda that was behind/infused with Silver was, in no short terms, a demoralization campaign against the trump voters

And since they can’t see that all they can do is project their ego to say they aren’t wrong, its that the people who don’t agree with them don’t comprehend very basic statistics
Honestly I'd go for ~15" or similar, but that's not the option (yet).
This is a bit of a false distinction, all told. More than a few of our "scientific discoveries" were the results of studying the best engineering could do at the time.

Yes, decent iGPU. But no on an external GPU in the back since this is for the 13" which has no modular bay for internal GPU (They mean a USB4 -> PCIe dock for the external GPU).

There IS a 16" coming that will let you plugin a dedicated GPU.

I will probably order this (or it's next version) one for my machine in 18 - 30 months since mine is only ~6 months old.

edit: and apologies if I mis-understood or am being pedantic
Well, maybe the new “GPT” tools will help us to do that! Sounds like a good project for a masters thesis.
There's also the fact that as soon as you touch anything by Google you'll get nagged with adds and pop-up suggesting installing Chrome.

Some freeware also contained an (enabled by default!) option to install Chrome and make it the default browser. CCleaner was guilty of it if I recall correctly.

Renewables have obvious deficiencies which are not resolved simply by having more of them. By shunning nuclear you choose to have fossil fuel power plants everywhere to keep the flow of power consistent and matching demand. Grid-level storage is just as much of an unsolved problem as affordable nuclear, but while getting nuclear costs down is a matter of iterating and improving existing technologies, grid-level storage will likely require brand new technologies which are far from guaranteed.

At this point I don't think nuclear is the way; I think it's got too many hurdles and we don't have enough time to figure it out in a safe way, if we ever can get the costs down and improve safety at the same time. But it's undeniably attractive as a nearly carbon-free energy source.

Deciding that anyone with a different opinion than yours on a complex topic must be some kind of shill for big oil is doing yourself a disservice.
I think it's simpler than that. Expenditure is linked to trust. Companies and platforms that erode trust, make less money in the long run - they have to continually exert energy to attract customers. Companies / platforms that focus on building and retaining your trust have to work less hard to have you part with your money.
A word of caution: Sodastream bottles aren't dishwasher-safe and can warp in the dishwasher.
I don’t want to hurt anyone. I think the people at the top of the economic pie generally know what they are doing, have grown their capital because they have earned it via expertise, and making political decisions to hurt the rich ultimately hurts all of society more than the rich person.

Take Elon Musk. Even if you stole all of his money, he would start a new business, and people would back him with capital (whatever is left after the socialists stole it all) because of his background, and it would be successful, and he would be rich again.

You can’t stop talented people from making money unless you use guns.
Hmm, do they have keyboards that fix up the arrow key cluster? Either all half-height (plus page up/down above the left/right keys) or all full-height?
A computer program can also be considered a form of constructive proof. One may be confident that the program functions as intended until a bug is discovered. This is why theorem provers have such a strong type system, which reduces the likelihood of bugs compared to mainstream programming languages. However, it is important to note that bugs may still be present, just as they can be found in formal proofs on paper.
It makes perfect sense; non-technical users and employees with different specializations (like actuaries) use lots of Excel, especially in fintech; and if you can share function implementations verbatim between your codebase and Excel, you get higher confidence for coherence.
Lots of uncertainty in the press conference following the interest rate announcement. Seems like the Fed is preparing for the possibility of more restrictive actions in the future, but is waiting for more data to see if such actions are needed. I expect the market to place a lot more weight on data released over the next few weeks.
I suppose the best username system is the one that works for your use case, but I can't help but feel like the alphanumeric system isn't ideal for users of countries that don't primarily use the latin alphabet. I realize that the world has adapted to the demands imposed by the internet (for example Chinese users often employing strings of numbers as their username) but I wonder if something like NFKC unicode normalization would be a better solution for a global audience.
Mick West is perhaps the most popular UFO debunker, he is good faith but has a pretty large conflict of interest he has developed now given the stakes of any of these phenomena being shown to be non human created technology. That said, this is an old post, so less of an issue and it can probably stand on its own. (It's also written before the UAP reports that have come out, which influence the way you ought to think about the disclosures the government has made.)
I have used Linux since 1996. Since before the 2.0 kernel. Back when GNU Hurd was coming out any day now.

Heck, I’ve used Debian since Debian 1.0.

Most of my home infrastructure is Linux and BSD. I’ve used MacOS very heavily since 2004. I used to daily-drive VMS on both VAXes and Alpha. I still miss parts of Solaris. Amber was the better terminal color.

I do have to use Windows quite a bit in a professional environment - even if simply as a window manager - so when I had to create environments for myself, I made sure it wasn’t ever a hindrance. Moreover, I’ve had people ask to make it easy for them. Historically I distributed guides as a one-off to friends and colleagues, but yesterday finally released it for everyone to take advantage of.
