My Kirb. What is this negging "yeah if you're into basic stuff" tone? I'm a fan of the genre, I own quite a few SBCs with various chipset manufacturers, and I use them for all kinds of things, from AI-vision voice-trained mobile robots to "simple" Kodi/emu boxes, and I can guarantee that so long as you notice the specific sizes and pinouts - CSI is CSI, DSI is DSI, Vulkan is Vulkan, et cetera.

Some of the more complex Adafruit / Pimoroni / Seeed hats are very specifically written for Raspberry GPIO, sure, but they have the problem of keeping you on an old OS after a year or two, unless you're willing to put in the same amount of effort as porting their examples to a different GPIO layout.

Reflects the attitude of the company toward its workers.

I have one friend who, instead of firing her, her company asked her to use ChatGPT and increased her work load. Smart managers will augment their workers, unless, of course, the worker was poor-performing to begin with.
> But they can't fire 3B times a second.

Fair point - but I'd argue the power comes for the combinatoric complexity, not the speed of operation.

So those timing effects can also combine with the simple connections - so if a neuron has 2 connections - the output can be controlled by not just the last signals for the 2 connections, but the relative timing of each of them.

Suddenly your input space you are operating over is much much bigger - you've got 2 inputs and hundreds of ways the timing could be adjusted. Massively bigger.

The fact that the whole thing doesn't operate in a big synchronous cycle is a huge jump in possible states.
What do you mean by "literally flea market shit"?

The last 3 items I ordered were obviously dirty used items missing parts, thrown loose in boxes without the factory packaging, and no padding. Like you said, it seems they are selling things that were found in the garbage, or at thrift stores/garage sales as new items.

At this point I am willing to pay 2x for an item I can trust from anyone but Amazon.
Very interesting device. But it costs as much as an office PC, that can emulate this analog computer and do a lot more.

Yeah, reducing heat output and fan noise should be more of a goal for mainstream PC vendors. My ThinkPad X1 Nano is a lovely machine… super lightweight, tiny, solidly built, decent keyboard and screen, but it starts getting hot and spins up its fan with the slightest hint of work. I have to keep its CPU throttled by putting it in power saver mode to keep its fan off (most of the time), which brings major performance tradeoffs.

Libertarian Utopianism strikes again.

I’d buy your argument if these media outlets were being replaced by higher quality journalism, but instead is low quality, low effort, click bait/attention seeking headlines with no substance.

> They just are not widely used because ARM and similar processors offer much more computational power and people are happy charging their devices every day or so.

This is exactly my point. Ultra low power processors exist, but they're not used for consumer electronics. Developers would rather build something bloated, quickly, than take the time to optimize. And technological advancements has taken away a lot of the pressure for optimization (e.g. I'm sure it was a super high priority to get a Psion to sip power, because a recharge was going to the store and paying $4 for a set of new batteries).

If I were a dictator that ruled with an iron fist, I'd mandate that all software be developed on underpowered devices, then released on fast ones.

> Today we appear to have forgotten all this

Not sure if that's the right wording. I live in CA too and the wave of remediations to your "fire event acceptance" and coastal water supplies has been pretty dramatic.

I regularly see more activity to clear land around natural burn territory while out hiking, in addition to laser-scanning vegetation patrol helicopters that map down to individual leaves nearing PG&E lines. Citizens here also have better access to early warnings and fire monitoring tech.

Coastal cities are implementing desalination plants with $80M+ of state DWR grants for this awarded so far. This includes brackish groundwater treatment.

Torrance, Santa Barbara [1], and Catalina island now have new desalination infra up and running and contributing millions of gallons a day to local water supplies. Water resources are managed as part of a diversified portfolio-style contingency strategy.

There's also a new interagency group / process to make the planning and setup more efficient than it would be otherwise.

Even up here in rural NorCal we have received millions in state grant money for coastal works like this.

Of course we understand that half of America has been misled about climate change and other resource constraints and environmental issues. You can still make good money serving the other half.

And of course I shouldn't have to say it that the Rockies will certainly not be water front, and no climate scientist is claiming that. Miami high rises may well fall down though.
Afaik, insurance rates are heavily influenced by collision data.

Yes. This is precisely why this sort of decision cannot be left to individual consumers -- the end result is an arms race of ever-larger vehicles and dramatic increases in fatalities for the rest of us.

I personally find making things and learning how to make things and where they come from to be more interesting than worrying about what corporations are doing.

If I want global or at least local societal change then I need money to fund campaigns; rather than spend money on certain products.

I can get money by making something novel or by investing in learning how to make someone else more money.

If I don't want to give my money to businesses that use it in a way I disagree with then I invest more time into researching businesses and where their products come from.

The biggest hurtle for me was to lose my emotional attachments to commercial products.
A thing has value to me because it serves a purpose, it is a tool. I've been taught in general you ought to buy the best tool that you can afford. "Best" may include attributes like 'aesthetics' and 'moral supply chain' along with 'quality' and 'bang-for-your-buck', etc.

> Has it ever occurred to you that it means your ideas are very very outside the mainstream?

Which "idea" is outside the mainstream here? That climate change will dramatically alter property values and liveability in some locations, or that housing search sites should surface this information proactively as a search criteria?

Companies are already starting to massively increase insurance rates (Florida and floods) or drop coverage altogether (California and fires). This is an article about a very real thing happening now in Arizona, though this situation is only exacerbated vs. caused by climate change. Extreme heat events in major cities without true access to a natural water source (e.g., Atlanta) or decaying water sources (e.g., Las Vegas) are happening.

We can debate the magnitude of change, but the direction of change is a done deal.
Multiplying array length by sizeof(element type) can overflow.

Of course, you can write your own malloc_array() that uses __builtin_mul_overflow() and doesn't come with calloc's drawback (the cost of zeroing the allocated memory).
And then they'd call the police and get you kicked out.

If instead you'd been invited in - "come along, bring your club members, you don't need to pay for your own hall anymore, use my house, free signup, moderate your own room, use it without paying, bring your friends" and then when your old meeting place had shutdown and been abandoned and all your leaflets and documentation and inertia had settled on the new location, then stavrianos turned on you and said "now you're all used to coming here, I need to pay off my investors who have been funding this all along, that'll be $10Bn valuation please - and don't bring your friends unless they can pay a few million a month. Or you could just leave, after I've borrowed a lot of money and arranged things to make it so you can't easily do that".
I had a "programming languages" class that did that, where we did assignments in Python (scripting), OCaml (functional), and Prolog (logic). This is because most other classes used compiled imperative languages such as C++ and Java.

I know someone who does copywriting for cybersecurity firms. She writes those seemingly mundane statements these companies release. I've always wondered if anyone actually reads them. She admits that most of her work involves taking a template and slotting in the new information. It's stuff like "Company X's response to security threat Y," which often doesn't contain anything particularly insightful. It usually just states that the company is aware of the threat and is working on it. Nothing technical or useful.

I'd be sad to see her lose her job, but at the same time, I can see how unfulfilling this job must be for her. She often feels that the work she does doesn't matter to anyone.

To me, solution is not to invent more bullshit jobs. We need a better system for humans to share the fruits of millennials of progress together.

I wonder how this is going to affect the cost of accessing ChatGPT and other AI systems. If ChatGPT can replace a copywriter, who may have an annual cost of $30-$50k per year, then it could easily justify a cost $10k or more per year.

The current model seems to be just like Uber. Get into as many markets as you can. Provide the service below cost. Then jack up the price and make money.

As someone who uses ChatGPT as a learning tool for various programming tasks, I'll miss it if it becomes too expensive. Its a helpful tool, but not worth more than $20/month.
We can either reduce our birthrate or let wars over resources do the culling.
Not sure I understand the question. The claim is: climate change is going to cause big problems in the United States. Your response was: energy is cheaper than ever.

Energy being cheap does not mitigate the problems created by climate change, and there are many scenarios in which low prices make climate impact worse, such as oil prices falling and consumption increasing.

It'd be nice to talk about this stuff in terms of prices because they're very convenient, but convenience does not necessarily make a good metric. The price shout-out is like an ancillary observation at best.

That's very often not the case. Usually they just want to go 80 or 90, but are stuck going 63 because 2 drivers are aggressively passive.

Bottling up traffic is not safer! Every driver in a line who has to slam on their brakes, for whatever reason, subtracts the amount of available reaction time left to the driver behind them.

I tried going back to a basic phone again for a few months some years ago.

Tbh the only two positives were:

- Battery would last several days on a single charge. I had totally forgotten that that used to be the case.

- Less time wasted on social media etc.

But the drawback was immense!

For one, it was not until I put my smart phone away that I realised just how valuable Google Maps is to me.

And of course, a lot of my communications with other people are in various apps these days. SMS is just not very useful at all now.

So the lesson learned was that it is better to have a smart phone.
I now have a habit of copying and pasting things I receive in emails or generate with certain tools into a ascii-only notepad before recopying and pasting out, anything that I am posting or sending to others. Because I've thought about how easy certain services could track origin of content across platforms with non printing unicode or using unicode for homograph attacks.

Makes me want a systemwide right click > "Paste and strip all but ASCII" command.

Media is dying because of consolidation. My local town newspaper used to employ 400-600 people, and have a big building downtown. Since we are a capital city, it had great coverage of government, politics, etc. It got bought by USA Today, and now my newspaper has 15 or so employees, all printing is done at their other local newspaper they bought and gutted 60 miles south, and our newspaper consits of 3-4 articles a day of actual, local content, and then a bunch of AP and USA today syndicated stories.

They also raised the prices for the papers, and wonder why people are stopping their subscriptions.
No. Not at all. I would call it crystal resonator. Because it’s not solid state, there’s no semiconductor. I think you might be confusing that “it looks like a chip kinda”.

If you wanted a solid state clock source, that is a MEMS.

And further, no one calls, Crystal resonators “solid state” for marketing purposes, which is all that’s going on here.

any more development in the fast-growing city must rely on other sources of water -- such as under-strain rivers.

BestPlaces.net tells me Phoenix averages 9 inches of rain annually and another site (below) suggests rainfall varies from 3.3 inches to more than 21 inches across the state.

https://www.currentresults.com/Weather/Arizona/yearly-averag...

My recollection is that off-grid Earth Ships only need 10 inches of rainfall to have adequate water supply using catchment systems and relying on gray water for things like irrigation.

Fresno, California has a rich history with regards to water development and has increased groundwater levels in some years. Anyone working in this area or interested in this issue should look up the book about that history. I believe it's called "Water for a thirsty land" and has some subtitle. (I've said this before and linked it before.)
Yeah its definitely better than piecing together parts from different tutorials to be sure.
The third part sounds like compelled speech which isn't constitutional.
I'm glad you survived, but I'm having trouble imagining how this was only "incompetence".

Could the company not make another payroll, no option other than to spin it down? So the incompetence was first in getting that close, and second in executing the spindown?

Or did the business keep going, or did some people walk away more comfortably?
Yeah, floodfactor is a great tool.

In a similar vein, check out geological surveys for karsts and sinkholes if you live in an area where bedrock is comprised of soluble rocks (which is much of populated earth). I know this seems outrageous, but increased rainfall doesn't just flood creeks and rivers, it can overload sewage systems. And if an overloaded sewage system means water has to find it's own way.

This doesn't just effect your house. Think about the impact of a road to your house sinks. IME, these can take months to get fixed.
Since we're here talking about Postgres and SQL standards. Here's my wishlist:

- Support for arrays of foreign keys. This one has been worked on a couple of times but hasn't made it into a release. https://commitfest.postgresql.org/17/1252/ - I think this would be an absolutely phenomenal way of handling sorting, instead of having to use linked lists and CTEs or some type of "order/position" column

- Support for deferring NOT NULL and CHECK constraints to the end of a transaction (just ran into this problem yesterday)

Climate fear mongering is a driver of denial.

Unwillingness to build nuclear power, which could possibly solve the problem, is a driver of suspicion, which is a driver of denial.

Politicization of social sciences and campus activities, severely damages credibility, which drives denial.

Corruption of global institutions (such as the WHO, in light of COVID origins) and the understandable yet also uncomfortable 'Don't Look Here' approach to NIH, Lancet relationship with Wuhan Biolab Research (it's complicated) generates deep suspicion, and fosters denial.

Big Pharma + McKinsey designed scheme to addict millions with opioids without real consequences, and subsequent embracing of Big Pharma during COVID on totally unquestionable terms aka 'Trust The Science!', although rational from a policy perspective (it's a national emergency), is again, a huge driver of suspicion and therefore denial.

Political voices basically have no credibility in most situations and won't be able to convince anyone remotely skeptical.

I think things like 'Housing Insurance' frankly is one of the better means of social interdiction, it hits people right in the pocket book, and I would hope insurance companies just send out the letter with the graph saying 'well, this is where the weather is going, this is the expected damage, so this is your rate'. That's not political logic.
