People (nuclear advocates usually), like to pretend that the only way to deal with this is an unrealistic number of expensive lithium batteries or fossil fuels but there is also:

* Smart meters that charge cars/turn on heat pump storage when electricity is plentiful. Already being done. German aluminum smelting (heavy electricity user) is dialed up and down depending on live electricity prices.

* Pumped storage. Coire glass will built soon in the UK - pumping out a max of 1.5GW, snowy 2 in Australia will store 350GWh - at the dirt cheap price of $6 billion. 90% efficient. Published studies confirm that, unlike for dams, the geography for this is very plentiful (contrary to nuclear lobby propaganda which routinely and dishonestly argues the exact opposite).

* Hydrogen/windgas - only about 50% efficient round trip but it's easy to store hundreds of GWhs for months, so will be useful to create seasonal storage when, one day (god willing) we get to the point where overbuilt wind and solar manages to supply 100% of current demand and large pumped storage/battery installations are full and we want seasonal storage for the unshiftable demand during the odd windless and dark weeks.
ZIL is just a fast place to write the data for sync operations. If everything is working then the ZIL is never read from, ZFS uses RAM as that foreground bit.

Async writes on a default configuration don't hit the ZIL, only RAM for a few seconds then disk. Sync writes are RAM to ZIL, confirm write, then RAM to pool.
Probably because that survey scheme predates the GDPR and nobody thought about it's conformity since.

The article doesn’t mention lyrics, which has to be one of the biggest contributions a singer provides to a song. Being able to emote through language in addition to music may as well double the effect a song may have on people.
It all depends on how much reliability are you willing to give up for performance.

Because I have the best storage performance you'll ever find anywhere, 100% money-back guaranteed: write to /dev/null. It comes with the downside of 0% reliability.

You can write to a disk without a file-system, sequentially, until space ends. Quite fast actually, and reliable, until you reach the end, then reliability drops dramatically.
Yes. What I've done with my ring cameras was open them up and remove the microphones altogether (or in one case cut the cable to them).

They were able to hear my speak literally in the next room even covered in tape :P I don't mind video of my front door ending up in Amazon's cloud but I don't want my audio going there 24/7.
IPv6 lacks back compatibility with the current standard. It cannot succeed.
The last time I used PHP was in 2004 or 2005, PHP was at version 4.something, and I did not like it. That kind of formed my opinion on the language, even though I know it's come a long way since. OTOH, I have no reason currently to take another look.

But it's nice to be reminded, I guess, PHP isn't the dumpster fire it was 18 years ago.
It'd be fascinating to see a conversion to person-hours to copy one book in medieval times.

And I mean fully-loaded, so how much time needed to be spent {farming/military/political administration} to give a monk time to learn to read and write, and then allow them time to copy the book itself.
Considering UK is an island and offshore wind tends to be more consistent than onshore (although with higher cost to build) that doesn't sound like a problem?
That's your opinion. I'd really much prefer another Mozart.
Anybody who believes that this time PHP isn't awful can expect the same disappointment as the last few times. I'm an old man, I remember all the pain of upgrading to PHP3 and for my sins my current work includes trying to cajole somebody's PHP7.x code into running even though it appears their employer disowned the project we know if we don't make it work the "replacement" will never actually materialise.

This is a language built by people who didn't really know any better, so I don't blame them, but it's ludicrous to pretend that it's a "red flag" to have noticed that this keeps happening and learned from that experience.

Certainly we get help from our neighbours, and they've also let us use their tools and trailer on occasion. We've done less for them, but I have made them a lot of coffee. Still, if we hadn't spent money we wouldn't have got nearly as far with our available time.

I incurred in that mistake once and never again will I use a non-Gmail address for personal Google products.

That exact same thing happened to me >10 years ago and I got cut off from almost everything I had.

Since I live in countries other than my own, there's a 0% chance that any given ad is relevant to me. Chances are it's in a language I don't speak or for a product I'm not eligible for, much less something I'd actually want.

So it is with any technological innovation. Should computers not have been invented because they eliminated jobs? Should steel? What about agriculture? The future is sure to be different, but that doesn't mean we should fight to deny progress. That way lies the Luddite and Conservative. It's only possible to use new tools for good, not try to erase them to prevent evil.

I think that many technologies, ones that we continued using, are good. The ones that turned out to be bad, we banned. If you make a list of technologies we are still using, then it will contain good ones.

I think that actually, we would be better off as humans if we could figure out a way to coordinate (not easy) and decide in advance which technologies we allow to be released into the world. It wouldn't be perfect, as we might still make mistakes, but we maybe could have stopped leaded gasoline, CFCs, Thalidomide, social media feeds, and so on.

If it's a big enough evil, yes, sometimes we should not invent some things. And I say this knowing that there are currently drugs that the FDA is holding back (due to over-caution) even though they would be very likely to save lives. Sometimes we don't take enough risks. Sometimes we take way too much.

I don't know if stopping unaligned AGI is possible, but I think it's worth trying. I can imagine some good coming from aligned AGI, but I feel like most of the things we could do with aligned AGI, we could also do with just regular old narrow AI, but slower. Slow sucks when people are dying, but if there is the possibility of EVERYONE dying and nobody new being born ever again, then that's the thing to avoid.
Yes and the end is nigh obviously.

But given that 'abroad' is currently sending the US stuff in return for mere promises, where else are you expecting them to send their stuff?

It's a scare story. In reality, the players have nowhere else to go.

Just as they didn't when Nixon ended Bretton Woods.
Yes, I mostly use ChatGPT for ffmpeg commands. Just give it the description along with the full file path and it will output the correct command 99% of the time. Bard can also do that (not as well though) but the format of the answer is so much worse, the resulting command is not put in a code block for example.
My question is though, how many of these people who are supposedly offloading the mental energy of writing onto ChatGPT are good writers in the first place? And are they really delegating that much substantive thought?

I think the pg comment presupposes that most people currently know how to write, and I just don’t think that’s the case, at all. At least not to the extent that doing less writing (or using an AI) will dramatically reshape their modes of thought (much less the trajectory of human thought as a whole).

Also, I’m not saying that written communication is the be-all, end-all of human intellect - I think I’m a fairly good writer (used to be better, though) but a fairly poor verbal communicator. I know lots of people who are great verbal communicators but not-great not-terrible writers. Some people are great at both, and some people aren’t good at either. But it’s all part of the mix of original human thought.

I guess when we get to the stage that a 21st century Orwell is using AI to write his books, then I’ll worry that we’re stunting human potential, but until then it just doesn’t seem to me like much original thought it getting displaced here. Yet, anyway.

Wow. Otherworldly.
plato is specifically thinking of the social impact but he's also not actually arguing against writing. after all, he's making his argument in writing. he's trying to push the reader to look into their souls for the truths that he thinks are already there. "remembrance" here is specific, so is "memory". It doesn't mean, to remember facts and things that happened, but to reach back into ones mind beyond sensation and to "remember" the eternal forms.
Given the small land area and extremely high population density relative to its neighbours, onshore wind in the UK was never going to be a large scale solution. "Terrible for onshore" doesn't matter if sufficient generation can be met in other more reasonable ways.
> This is, largely, the story of monotheist religion.

This is largely the story of religions, especially old pagan religions. Myths and folklore came about. The moment when religions went scriptural, the message became firm and technical. And gave rise to law as a study.
If anything, writing froze ideas (see religion), whereas speaking them from generation to generation allowed the dross to slough off good ideas. Does good science require writing? That's a good debate to have. Are written notes essential for scientific progress/discovery? Maybe. If failures are recorded and researchable, then I would argue yes, because it is likely only the successes were transmitted with spoken word.
If you make a free body diagram and check the sum of vertical forces you’ll find that you cannot change the tension in one spoke without a corresponding equal (in total) reaction in others. I reduced it down to two spokes so that this becomes trivial to do.
There is a benefit: you do not want to stress your .com domain too much when you provide some network services like discovery services, tunnels etc to your customers.

The reason is pragmatic: if a company provides such kind of services then it may fall under a (false) scrutiny one day after somebody uses one of its services for, say, planting a stealth DDoS attack. The whole domain may be yanked or denylisted, and the last domain you want to see under the fire is your .com domain.

The same goes to .org: you do not want to see outsiders messing with your organizational endpoints and internal operations, so you better move them to a separate domain for the sake of a) clarity and b) risk hedging.

There are two drawbacks though: 1) higher domain costs 2) if you are not careful enough in managing expectations, people may be confused about which one to use and when.
This is great! We are constantly providing new features to the pre-built binaries we publish in this project. Happy to read it helps you :)
I think of it in terms of computer memory levels.

There are some computations (synthesis) that require so many (non-front loadable) memory accesses that it's impractical to do them from memory with significant delay (books), because the number_of_accesses * access_time dominates the project time.

Instead, you must have a working set of core information (or at least pointers to information) in low-latency memory (your brain).

Example: How much longer would it take me to do a multi-digit multiplication if I had to look up the process for multiplication in a book for every digit multiplication I did? And what if that multiplication were just one of many in the higher-level math problem I was trying to solve? (Then generalize to any problem that requires a core base of knowledge)

That isn’t what I was calling mental gymnastics.

> Asserting that e.g. people pooping in the street is caused strictly by expensive housing would require some mental gymnastics

Key word being strictly, i.e. expensive housing is the cause of street pooping, and there is ultimately no other way to prevent street pooping other than to reduce housing costs broadly.

Raising police salaries is obviously a much easier problem to solve, right? It is something that is already under government control and it can be modeled using a simple spreadsheet. Housing cost on the other hand is not really possible to model accurately, the system is too complex and has too many inputs.
No need to guess... If you watch about any talk on climate change mitigation it will start with a chart that shows which sectors use which amount of energy.

It's literally the introduction of the IPCC Report WG3 Report on energy:

https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg3/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6...

Just check out the first figures.

Decarbonization of energy use in different sectors will require different technologies, but electricity is key. ENTSOE expects the amount of energy use that is directly electric to rise to up to 50% by 2050 for Europe:

https://2022.entsos-tyndp-scenarios.eu/scenario-results/#dem...

We are talking so much about decarbonizing the electric grid because that's the easy part, but also because its the foundation for what must come afterwards.
That's true but also not relevant to current wide spread use of the term. Concepts and common understanding evolve with language and I'm not even sure what point you're trying to make by pointing this out. Your first link even includes the language:

> "open source" marketed as trumping "open system".

Common use and understanding of the use "open" evolved decades ago.

Your comment also tries to side step the issue at heart people are annoyed and frustrated by. The founding principles of the OpenAI foundation laid out exactly what that usage of "Open" meant for their organization and they have since backtracked on their own principles.
The difference between a syscall and a library function call is that a syscall crosses protection boundaries. Implementations differ, but where a library (even the lowest-level OS library like libc) runs in the context of the application and can be invoked with a regular "store pointer and jump" method call, a syscall usually involves transfering control to the kernel through a software interrupt.
I suspect that being a woman was both a help and a hindrance.

The company went from a valuation of $10 billion to zero overnight and she's been sentenced to 11 years in prison for fraud.

As far as I can tell, her gender in no way "helped" anything good. It likely helped grow this debacle into one of much larger proportions than it otherwise likely would have been.

And when I talk about that, I usually get dismissed out of hand, not taken seriously as a woman going "So, let's say you're a woman -- as I am -- and want to actually start a real business. Just how does one not end up with this kind of debacle if my thoughts on how and why it went so badly have any merit?"
I heard, just the other day, about someone (in the UK) using their Tesla to make money by buying cheap (night-time) power and selling it back during high-rate times, and I was moved to wonder... Does this "profit" making scheme still work when you take into account the lifespan of the Tesla's batteries -- I'd guess they're good for something like 4000 cycles, and then you're facing the cost of replacement. I have my doubts whether it really works out, but lack the data.

Anyone with insight?

Eh, deliberately repurposes. I don’t think “misuses” is the right word at all.

This also feels too strong a wording—though the fact that these are at least .js files (unlike .svelte files in the other case) makes the term “abuse” less unreasonable.

Outside of modules documentation, the rest of Ansible docs are examples. For instance, there is no page where all ways of accessing inventory variables are listed. Or supported jinja filters. They are all scattered in a myriad of examples, which you have to read, carefully, to find what you need.

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbook_guide/playb...

On this page there is no quick index of all the functions available, their argument and a short summary of how they work. You need to synthesize this information yourself by reading through ALL the examples, and hoping your niche use case is listed.

There are more than one type of documentation, with different use cases. There's the tutorial/list of examples, which Ansible excels at, and is ideal for a first timer reading the docs from cover to cover. Then there's the API reference with quick index, for intermediate to advanced users, where they know roughly what they need, they just need to find it. In this, Ansible's docs fail dramatically.
> You see no problem in companies letting people use their platform indiscriminately to coordinate school shootings, riots and extremist groups?

I have no problem with unrestricted and fully encrypted anonymous communications at all. Every human being should be free to exchange ideas, no matter what they are. I'm not about to turn nazism into thought crime because that requires accepting the idea of thought crime in the first place.

The limit of tolerance is exceeded only when things escalate to violence. Everything you cited? The solution is heavy policing and weapons for the population so it can defend itself. Amazingly enough, there's talk of arming school personnel... It's gonna be ironic if the same people who said violence is solved by giving books to criminals end up gaining the right to bear arms for their own self-defense.

> Are nazi rallies or KKK gatherings categorized as "protests"?

Depends.

> The people you mention, a minority, spent 3 months rallied across the country asking for military intervention

So what? They can ask for whatever they want. They should not be censored just because you find it outrageous. As long as they're being pacific they should be able to continue.

They don't believe the election's results. As far as they're concerned, TSE staged its own intervention when it started almost unilaterally censoring Bolsonaro's supporters. Political censorship which is unconstitutional by the way. Who else do you turn to when the goddamn supreme court judges start shitting all over the constitution? By now it's become clear these judge-kings are running the country. That ship has sailed.

Also I don't think voting machine fraud is some impossible conspiracy theory either. It's hard to discuss this matter with laymen who don't even know what source code is but I convinced at least one person here on HN that there's a potential supply chain vulnerability in the voting machines. It's not "unquestionable and perfect" as the judge claims.

> Where is the source?

Videos were leaked to the CNN. It was around the time Lula went to China and publicly blamed Ukraine for the invasion.

That would be perfect for my own use case actually.
