> applications with a lot of UI state with dozens of forms (screens) etc. How many of them had these convoluted ideas of state vs stateless widgets, watch, notifiers etc? Consider examples like Visual Basic, Delphi etc. ... The GUI components would be aware when their state changed and would update its own display.

I wrote and maintained a lot of large GUI applications in that style during that time, as well as building a couple of GUI frameworks that operated that way.

It's fine for a while and as long as the UI is fairly static and there's mostly a 1:1 mapping between pieces of data and UI that shows it. But it scales horribly once you find yourself in a situation where you have lots of computed model data, or model data that is shown in many places in the UI, or a highly flexible UI that changes a lot. You end up in a sprawling mess of event handlers, orphaned bits of UI that aren't on screen but are still inadvertently listening to events, zombie UI that forgot to register an event handler and isn't updating, computer model state that for now good reason lives inside one random button, and then other UI code that is pulling that state from that button and breaks if the button isn't on screen, etc.

The reactive style / immediate mode style where you essentially redraw the entire UI based on the current model state is so much simpler and cleaner.

Yes, state management can still be weird, but that's because mutable state is hard. There's no silver bullet.

“In terms of >local heat<“

That electricity isn’t producing heat where the panels are, it’s potentially in some laptop on the other side of the planet.

The actual energy released by the worlds electricity converted into waste heat isn’t currently meaningful on a global scale. But, assuming it keeps increasing placing floating solar panels over the ocean actually reflects more energy back into space. That would have a net cooling effect even including the electricity produced.

I somewhat recall there being a little progress on trying to fix the remaining "write hole" issues, in the past year or two. But in general, I think there's very little pressure to do so because so very many many people run raid-5 for data already & it works great. Getting Metadata off raid1 is low priority, a nice to have.

No, US killed relatively few. Millions died in resulting civil war, but those were extremely overwhelmingly Iraqi-on-Iraqi deaths. US generally did what it could to stop that, but it's hard to stop suicide bomb attacks.

Wind farms were built at sea, on the surface because of nimbyism on land, but being ever cynical I think the real reason was to push the cost and difficulty up giving oil companies more time.

Later, during Liz Truss's short and disasterous tenure, just as solar panels were getting very cheap, even very low quality farm land was reclassified as a strategic asset for food to be grown on and no solar.

In what was possibly a distraction wind was now to be allowed on land (of course it's much less convenient to put up a wind turbine than to get some very cheap solar panels and that's before all the nimby groups, some of which get dark money funding).
Technological solutions depend on the government having some kind of limit to their tyranny. Brazil at least has proved to have exactly zero limits.

The problem is, it is not obvious what the 'correct' decision is today to maximize the future lives. It's all guesses, for longtermist and presentist. Its just that the longtermism people are using this long term argument for things they do want now, but are potentially 'atrocities', but in the view of infinity looks logical. So dress up some logic using the infinite future with trillions of lives, to make my current bad decision seem reasonable. Its tipping the scales when they also do not know which is best decision.
I am a product of a coding bootcamp from awhile back, so JavaScript is really the only thing I’ve ever known in my career (outside of writing some apps in Visual Basic around 2001).

Maybe it’s because it’s the only thing I’ve ever known, but… I like it?

I guess if I hack around on a side project and want to use vanilla JS, it’s the Wild West and there’s no rhyme or reason for anything (and everything looks gross).

But working inside various frameworks have been pretty enjoyable for me.

Side note: there’s also this hilarious video about the… delightful nature of JavaScript from 2012:

The term 'investment' holds different meanings depending on the context. For instance, in macroeconomics, 'investment' refers to the addition of capital stock to an economy, which closely aligns with your description. This can involve the incorporation of equipment, buildings, or infrastructure, and is generally anticipated to promote economic growth. The notion that investment capital is spend on something productive in the long-term applies here, but not so much in other contexts.

In sociology, 'investment' often means the expenditure of time or energy into a cause or relationship. In personal finance, 'investment' pertains specifically to the use of financial instruments or products. Overall, 'investment' can mean many things; there isn't really one thing it usually implies.

In the context of business and finance, 'investment' indicates the allocation or transfer of money/resources. However, this doesn't necessarily lead to the acquisition of any assets other than the money itself. For example, I could invest capital into my own company without immediately allocating that money to specific uses — it could just sit in the corporate bank account. The funds could eventually be used in a variety of ways. While it's both morally and ethically commendable to inform investors about the intended uses of their investments, there's no definitive principle stating that such investments must be allocated to specific items like tooling, R&D, and the like.

I understand why people who think that investment implies that would be disappointed by Librem's actions here. But from a business perspective, investing into fulfilling past orders is fine, it still adds business net worth and investor value. Many large companies like Tesla do it, too.

It is not a Ponzi scheme unless the previous investors are directly paid dividends from new investors. A Ponzi scheme is a very specific term. Many businesses operate in a way in which investment grows the business, and this growth pays dividends to previous investors. That could be seen as a Ponzi-like scheme from some perspectives, but it would be a bit contrived, as this is how many highly-leveraged businesses operate.

>> So we must fight to death to convince the world they are inferior.

That only makes sense if you assume they are superior. In which case, there isn't really anything to discuss because you've obviously already made up your mind and you will take anything anyone says as some desperate attempt to twist the truth for the sake of survival.

Which is what many people do on this kind of subject and that's why no more debate can be had on the internets about the value of LLMs and "AI".

It's also very annoying. It's like trying to talk to someone who keeps answering with jeers and sneers. It's childish and unproductive.
This is cause for celebration, but it shouldn’t hide the reality that with more than 8 tons per person per year, the UK is in the top 5 most carbon-emitting countries. The country has significant agriculture or industry can justify such a highly polluting regime.

In truth, the UK has horrendous insulation and burns a staggering amount of gas to heat houses made of pasta stainers and wet cardboard; people drive their ICE cars everywhere… There are simple measures that should have been mandatory a decade ago. Instead, the government is too busy arresting the scientists who can help —for the crime of standing there, no less— and handing over subsidies to companies that are making record profits and opening more gas wells.

Far too many Britons dismiss the idea that they’ll be direct victims of climate unsettling. Every model I have seen highlights dire possibilities.

This is the paradox of IQ.

IQ is only a slight predictor of individual of individual success there are many other factors that are superior to IQ for predicting individual success.

However the paradox is that while IQ is not a good predictor of individual success, the economic success of a country correlates heavily with the average IQ of the people in that country.

It is a paradox. One cannot simply say that IQ doesn't "predict" success. From the data, the answer seems much more complicated.
Interesting that we ignore the physical environment as a contributing factor in IQ, growth, and development. For example:

* Iodine supplementation during early life (a few weeks) increases IQ
* Organophosphate exposure increases autism (also why people who live near airports have higher incidence of cancer)
* Phalates and non-sticks reduce male reproductive organ size
* Music lessons in children increases IQ.
* L-arginine during childhood increases height and free growth hormone

While that's true you do need to take into account the limited efficiency of power plants as well, especially when it comes to heating.

Simply burning gas to generate heat is basically 100% efficient, if you convert it to electricity first you'd need a COP of at least 1.7 to recover the energy lost while generating the electricity.

Context switches between processes are bad, but going into the kernel for an irq using things like aio and io_uring which can populate events into a result ring buffer doesn't add a ridiculous amount of overhead. Optane DIMMs avoided that, but the consequences were such that the hardware had a lot more complexity. Doing something like an FTL at DDR4 speeds and latency is very difficult. Plus you don't really want to expose hardware that requires wear leveling directly to applications, as a buggy app can wear out (damage) the hardware prematurely.

Just my 2 cents:

A philosophy differs from an ideology. Long-termism is a philosophy, meaning an abstract framework that is used an intellectual aid. An ideology, on the otherhand, is an all-encompassing world view, that inserts itself at the top of one's value hierarchy, and allows one to do as you describe: define any wrong as a necessary evil to fulfil the greater good.

The reason long-termism is merely a philosophy, and will remain so, is that it doesn't provide a narrative that lends itself to ideological zealotry. Ideological narratives are simplistic models of the world that can be easily digested, and provide a ready litmus test to categorize any person into one of three groups: victims, villains, or saviors.

I expect the SD to be much higher in the real world, as anybody who has observed real children and their parents, for example a teacher, can attest. When you add environmental and cultural factors, as well as other genetic traits that strongly correlate with social success, such as agression, physical attractivity and verbal skills, it's pretty much a coin toss.

What we know for sure from educational studies is that early intervention at the 2-6 years of age can completely negate any "inherited" learning issues, be they genetic or culturally acquired via parental neglect. So maybe that's where the focus should be.

You also have to ask how much sense does the premise hold. How do you exactly determine which allele relates to inheritable intelligence? It seems almost impossible to separate and control for social factors, i.e. to actually find the that the genetic markup of white upper-middle class people is the best predictor of "intelligence", because there is no definition of intelligence that this group is not better trained and better socially positioned to exhibit.

This fundamental difficulty in defining a culturally neutral measure of intelligence (and it's pervasive tendency to produce racist outcomes) has pushed the field into disrepute and makes people attack its conclusions.

That would be awesome, but it would also make it way harder for Google to offer a free tier in the first place. 300 free queries per user per day is a lot more than 300 free queries per developer per day, so it might be a mistake to make that usage pattern even easier.

Though maybe they could just place way stricter limits on requests placed via API tokens obtained this way? That would probably work. But it would also sort of defeat the purpose of having users use their own API tokens. If everyone's going to need to pay to use your app anyway, you can just have them pay you to use your API token and gain an easy source of monetization in the process.
