Why is every one saying seven years ago? I remember the Switch coming out around March 2017. We're in May 2023. That's six years (and change) ago, not seven.
Steal the information and publish it.
The article explains briefly: fuel that is not from fossil sources. Essentially, organic waste converted to petrol-like hydrocarbons. Used frying oil from fast food is a large, consistent source. Ethanol from corn is also common in the US, but mostly for petrol meant for car. Not sure if there’s corn-based SAF but that would feel counter-productive (corn-based ethanol takes a lot of petrol to make).

There seems to be issue with the relative portion of octanes, so it cannot be used in large portion in both car and aviation: I remember reading something about lead in petrol and “knocking”, ie the air-petrol mix exploding too early. I’m assuming that this engine handles that problem better, somehow. Given that lead is still in aviation gas, that would be beneficial in many ways.
F2py, which is already a standard part of numpy, does the heaving lifting and generates idiomatic python wrappers for Fortan code.

It's just zealotry of them going "eeew fortran that's like really really old". Fortran got multidimensional dense numeric arrays right. Modern Fortran allows you to do elemental/vectorized operations on them. C does not even come close, and requires tons of preprocessor macros if you try. Every other 'modern' language introduces a bunch of tooling and dependencies just to get where Fortran is, because they just don't have a focus on scientific computing.

This is peak Snowcrash.
So it was outdated tech except for the parts that weren't? If you add in "outdated graphics tech," sure, but saying it's just outdated period does Nintendo a big disservice.

One of the issues with the Wii was that the controller tech was too immature, hence the later addition of the MotionPlus stuff, and how the Switch versions of "use it like a pointer" games are so much more robust.
And the old people in Montana wonder why kids move out of Montana.
That's rare. T-Mobile averages 53ms latency according to Ookla/Speedtest.net for multi-server latency. For wired connections, Xfinity averages 24ms, Cox 25ms, and Spectrum 31ms. So wireless does add an additional ~25ms of latency compared to wired, but 100ms is out of the ordinary.
I wonder what would be those sales if the game was released on PC too.

Like they obviously make it exclusive to the Switch to sell more consoles. But I'll never buy that console (or any console, really) just to play this game, or even to play 10 games as good as this one. I imagine tons of PC gamers are in my case. I heard the game runs quite well on a Switch emulator and it was getting massively downloaded via torrent on day 1. Personally I won't bother going this route, I'm too lazy for that, but if the game was on Steam and playable in 1 click, I would gladly give Nintendo 70 bucks.

> If hackers and nerd idealists are worth anything, it's for trying to solve all this against a background of constant push-back. I sometimes wonder if the most important thing I could possibly do is try to depict this larger picture in such a way that people got it.

Thinking about this, it actually reminds me of season 2 of Clarkson's Farm. He might not be what you think of when you think of a prototypical hacker, but Clarkson actually is one. In the series he constantly found loopholes to evade the tyrannical council although they sadly ended up winning in the end. Although it makes you think that if someone with his influence and resources can't find a way through the bureaucratic minefield to open a restaurant in an disused barn in the middle of a field on his own property what hope do the rest of us have.
One of the big problems with "degrowth" is this very conflation of many definitions, with advocates unwilling to speak clearly on the matter. I find the entire movement incoherent at best, and completely unconvincing in their style of communication. It appears to use vague definitions and abstractions around very complex and multi factorial issues, and then apply simplistic linear reasoning on top of these leaky abstractions.

If I ever meet a degrowth advocate that can speak with nuance and clarity and can respond to questions enough to allow dialogue, I will be very surprised, and pleased.

I believe that OP is confused about when the resolution happens. Overloading is resolved by the compiler, inheritance at runtime
>they just tried it again with the Switch and made it portable. This again is spawning clones (steam deck for example)

Calling the steamdeck a switch clone feels really weird to me.

I had a sega game gear as a kid, and it was effectively the same form factor...
> Before Breath of the Wild previous Zelda entries did not sell this well.

Breath of the Wild was certainly the best-seller, but nearly every Zelda game has been a knock-out success selling millions of copies. I think Breath of the Wild is an outlier among them in part because it was out during the pandemic. I know a whole lot of people who bought a Switch during the lockdown and poured hours into escapism with that game.

> Watchdog Ofcom has warned 4.3 million eligible people are missing the deals.

> These were available in 99% of the UK and started from £10 per month, it added.

This language sounds a bit more like advertisement than what I'd expect from a national regulator.

Also, almost of the social tariff plans (plans for people receiving significant poverty-related benefits in the UK) are at £10 per month - https://www.ofcom.org.uk/phones-telecoms-and-internet/advice....

Also, broadband in the UK is not very expensive. 130 Mbps from Virgin Media is £26 a month with no set-up or rental fees. The £10 difference between the avg social tariff and what you can get on the high street is inconsequential in the context of the cost of living crisis. Heating is several hundred pounds each month for a typical apartment, food is another several hundred for a couple of people, unless they eat very low quality food, and renting a room is another several hundred in most cities, can go up to a £1.5k in London. If you have a family, you probably won't feel right living in a room, so your housing expenses will be much higher.

I mean... there is value in jumping through some hoops to save £10 a month. But it's not really anything to write home about. I can understand why people would rather save £25 and cancel if they struggle to make ends meet and don't use broadband besides what they can get on their phone + hotspot. Or share a WiFi password between rooms/flats.
>is not something the original 'lookup table' could possibly help you with,

Sure it can. Statistically there is some language semantics associated with that sentence, and given a large enough training data set, there will be a generated answer thats purely statistic.

Lets say I ask you the following question "Here we have a flibert, nine moltice, a grook, a seerik and a lopo. Please tell me how to stack them onto each other in a stable manner". You would be able to figure out how to stack them, given the fact that you have the ability to "reason" and figure out what those items are in the first place. In the same way, an AI that can reason would be able to do the same.

Just like transformers were revolutionary because they essentially are representative of a process inside human brains where we learn to pay attention to select features, there will be some new architecture in the next 10 years that will encode this ability to assign semantic properties to information and operate on those properties, which will then allow for things like AI to ask clarifying questions.
I bought the switch for the first Zelda, great game that got me back into console games. I don't really see any other game worth playing on Switch but it was great. You can always buy it second handed and sell it once you're done.
It makes no sense to try to imply things cost $60k like that's a lot when you don't know what vehicles they are. Some vehicles cost $60-80k, but most don't.

> Basically trying to cram human high level instincts/insights into the process of solving a problem doesn't work better than giving a general architecture tons of data and letting it figure that all out by itself.

Hi, programmer from outside ML here. You might be able to answer something I've been wandering about.

I do remember things like NLTK and logical inference many years ago. I understand the current tech is all large language models and (as you put it) the model figures out the rules.

Sometimes I get responses from ChatGPT that seem like they wouldn't pass logical inference. I will think "all the foos aren't capable of X, bar is an instance of foo, stop suggesting bar to do X". Is there room for old-school logical inference as a kind of sanity-check layer on top of LLMs?
Jesus how can a blog platform burn so much money? Where do they go? Wages? What do those people do?
> There is plenty of broad agreement, you just have to look at Japan, or China, or Singapore, or Turkey, Poland, or Switzerland, or Korea, or another dozen countries around the world that have clean, safe, and (sufficiently) beautiful public transport systems. The bar is really not that high.

So all those cities/countries where public transport is not clean and safe have to just copy - for instance - Singapore or China?

Q: What's stopping them?

That's what I mean about lack of broad agreement.
How would you put the drive on the network? Attaching it to an always-on computer, or buy a nas device or something? It seems easier to plug it into your router if the firmware supports it.
Accessibility is easily overlooked but in my opinion provides a much more direct and widespread impact than the mentioned ESG - and often provide value to more people than originally intended - I'm thinking of subtitles in videos that immensely helped me learn English, and public infrastructure adaptations for wheelchair users which also greatly benefit others - like mothers with strollers.

I wish more things were designed with an accessibility-first mindset - enabling edge cases might seem like overkill at first, but it could bring unforseen advantages.
> I want to wake up and do whatever the fuck I want

You can. As my dad used to say: you only need to brush the teeth you intend to keep.
I think this is relevant... These are 3 OSS databases that can be an alternative to Redis:

- KeyDB: https://github.com/snapchat/keydb

- Dragonfly: https://github.com/dragonflydb/dragonfly

- Skytable: https://github.com/skytable/skytable

I have used keyDB before. The raft consensus makes building an HA Redis easy.
When its not uncommon to start off at $35K after college, $50K is a pretty big increase. Not that there isn't a problem - it's just economy wide in the UK. Salaries are pretty low compared to the US. We can argue about all the factors but at the end of the day the skill will wind up in the US.
> not play the exact game they bought a decade ago with more detailed scenes, and more detail doesn't make a game better

Except in the case of this Zelda sequel you sort of are playing the exact same game you bought 5 years ago, and with little/no improvement to detail, for an even higher price (69.99)... While I've bought it and am enjoying it, its hardly some huge shift in any way (technical, gameplay or story) from BOTW, and virtually all the mechanics are identical. I still think it worthy of great reviews to be clear, but it is not some genre shaking release.
Most of the rich is 80. They don't have a plan to get out of this, because they expect to be dead.
The Bilderbergers you don't need to worry about but the WEF are trying to establish a New World Order right out in the open.

It's fairly open in that there is coverage, and 'just having a meeting' isn't directly nefarious, but it's fundamentally anti-democratic.

Elitism is a serious problem and it's not a traditional classicist issue it doesn't matter how these people were born and raised, it's the detachment from material reality that happens when they get into their roles and get starry eyed utopianist.

The Canadian government sends a lot of people there and current leadership were all 'anointed' as 'young leaders' from the WEF, while the bureaucracy itself is a dysfunctional mess.

We need a 'How Governments Can Stop Being Corrupt And Actually Do Productive Stuff Forum' instead of the WEF which is 'champagne globalism' where they talk about whatever was in Atlantic, and go to McKinsey hosted parties that are extremely lame.

In other words, just like a startup, it's 'execution' and that thought doesn't even cross their minds. WEF is like 'geopolitical gossip fireside chillout'.

Don't worry. The friend is probably imaginary just for the story.
And yet if you walk in the centre in the evening, large areas are completely dead and empty.

Read books and magazines from the early 20th century and before and everyone from starving artists and authors up to nobility and royals lived there. Now it's all either offices or empty units.

There's no sense of resident life there now: people might "go out" to central London for a day or night out or they might work there, but they'll travel home for maybe an hour afterwards.

The Douglas Adams of this century certainly won't live in Islington: the house he once shared with two others is now worth something like £2 million (to say nothing of the 5-bed he moved to in the 80s).
Thanks for sharing! I will look at these resources. Our app is made for people that definitely have vision (it enables doctors that read EEGs) but we can still improve for other levels of accessibility.
Yes, it is crazy to think that so many people believe that the elites have our best interest at heart.. that they will never connive for their own narrow self-interest... that they are meeting in secret for years purely out of the goodness of their hearts.

The fact that the corporate media pushes this narrative ought to tell us something.
I find this article interesting because we’ve heard for years about self-storage being a boom industry in the U.S. but this is about the U.K.
This release is more relevant as there have been very many fake ChatGPT apps that leveraged OpenAI's branding.

I live in Ukraine and never have seen a US-funded playground. As a father of two, I’m a frequent visitor of playgrounds. Also have never seen a “funded by EU” sign. I’m sure there are some cases with EU-funding, as I’ve read about a couple of cases in the news, but it’s not widespread at all. I’ve only seen such signs in EU proper (e.g. Lithuania).

The whole premise “someone funded a playground in my neighbor’s backyard, I have no other options. Bomb them NOW!” is beyond ridiculous.

They could also fund our playgrounds, if it’s as effective, as you claim. In any case that would be muuuuuch cheaper than starting a war with hundreds of thousands dying, sanctions and all that.
The cost to rebuild would have to be insanely cheap to house people that destroy everything. Like derilect rv cheap 5-10k
I agree. Once Putin had Trump there in power he sensed that the country was weak and decided to take action thinking that the Americans were too preoccupied with trying to be some semblance of government and international relations back to order once Biden won the election.

Problem was that the Biden admin actually has experience and capabilities, and the Ukrainians decided to fight for their country and now Russia is finding out that they made a pretty poor move based on faulty assumptions.

> We have no leg to stand on

1) At some point we get our legs to stand on back - supporting Ukraine actually has gone a long way in the eyes of Europe and allies in the Pacific.

2) Not having a leg to stand on doesn't matter because we can do wrong things and then also criticize others when they do wrong things.

3) EU member states and other nations have legs to stand on and they also support the American position on Ukraine.
I'm well aware of Apple’s success since I’m surrounded by their devices at home. It seems to me it can’t be attributed only to ARM. What I wonder is where’re someone can match Intel on Intel’s playing field, like supplying ARM chips to laptop manufacturers that are better than Intel.
Pardon my ignorance, is clang needed to build eBPF programs like it says in the article?
Bartenders in the UK are going to be earning less than half of that much. The comparison to wages in the USA is not direct because we have free healthcare and other social benefits.
It's not possible unless you make assumptions about the acceleration rate: does it accelerate a lot at the start, or is it sustained? It depends on mass, power (and how power output varies with speed), and drag (and how this varies with speed). Definitely not a simple unit conversion.
I split keyboard is better than a full keyboard. Easier and faster to type, less strain. Can't work easily as a single piece though, and this severely limits its usability in travel / transport settings.
Sounds like it makes sense to get fiber as soon as 2+ people are sharing it, since it's faster and less than 70 EUR/mo.
San Francisco will simply become the new Detroit. It will still exist, some headquarters will still exist but the city proper will be the butt of a bad joke for a long time. Folks will live in nice suburbs and be forced to commute while the city core rots.

Considering Detroit once held the record for patents filed, this isn’t all too far fetched. Maybe there is some type of awful natural law to be found even?
> eastern europe has tonnes of catching up to do which grows the economy.

Most of Eastern Europe is expected to overtake the UK in terms of living standards in the middle of this decade. Parts of it already has.

Biological life is based on perpetual growth. Yet it has persisted for thousands of millions of years.

I think you will have difficulty coming up for a definition of "growth" in humanity such that it makes sense for the argument you are trying to make. At least, I hav been searching for somebody to define what they mean by "growth" and have only gotten very vague platitudes such that the definition is y useful for basing further reasoning.
Cooling in space is actually very difficult. While unlit space can be thought of as "cold" (ie you're in thermal equilibrium with a very cold resevoir) vacuum is an incredible insulator so once you get any heat coming in (including the onslaught of heat from the local giant nuclear fireball) it's very difficult to dissipate.

More generally, ambient temperature is irrelevant, what matters is heat transfer rates. If you just stick something someplace cool, it'll heat up. You need something like a flowing river to carry the heat away. This is one reason that things like power plants tend to be built on rivers. For things like computing, total heat production is much less of an issue and can easily be conveyed away from the building by airflow. The difficulty is cooling within the building, as tightly packed server racks are not very conducive to airflow, so you need active cooling.
now that's what I call haptic feedback
Growth, both educational and occupational, is greatly enhanced by meaningful regularly spaced feedback. Delaying that feedback to the very end of a long process can lower the likelihood of success.

We can debate the merits of different models of assessment, but totally skipping assessment robs the participants of useful feedback.
One thing I'm confused about: Did the author try vectorizing the linear search implementation? (Of course, it is possible that even if they did not, the compiler did.) I would imagine that vectorization is behind the advice to use linear searches on small arrays.
Its not like biological creatures are highly optimized.
It's not odd, it's the result of false marketing and frankly very much the direct fault of publishers. They spend an untold amount on promotional campaigns showing prerendered footage, gameplay running on workstations with unrealistic specs, and buy endorsements. All together that makes people invested and makes them expect too much. It's very easy to feel lied to and betrayed when the final result doesn't even closely live up to the promises. It's even worse for sequels, as they inevitably get compared to the original by its fans.

If the promotion wasn't false advertising there would be no backlash and people would act rationally, as you say. Nobody hates on something they've never seen before unless somebody tells them to expect more than they'll get.

It remains the case that Russia didn't have to invade Ukraine and the US didn't have to invade Afghanistan. Both wars are morally reprehensible.
