This issue is fairly significant for me.

I approach it with words using the idea that everyone has the foreknowledge of the Merriam Webster dictionary definition of the words they choose to say in conversation... and something often taken for granted when it shouldn't be.

I know what I mean when I'm explaining things - the definition of the word in context, with some Grammer etc.

What is being interpreted tho? What thoughts come to your mind when I type "Planet Earth" and you read it? Whenever I see the words Planet Earth I recall a memory of an HD DVD BBC Documentary titled "Planet Earth" sitting on the lowest shelf on the endcap display at my local Best Buy - I noticed that many years ago and I've told a few people that, so now it's likely my forever. Lowkey nostalgic almost.

Say I'm having a conversation with a friend that shows a headline about "Planet Earth Be Doomed" how could they ever anticipate my nostalgic correlation with that headline? Am I actually listening if I finish an entire conversation while reliving a childhood trip to best buy?

This only seems like a tangent - knowledge and truth are exactly the same.

I know what I know. I know what I expect you to know. I know what I'm trying to convey and so I use words I know the definition of and feel appropriate in the moment, sometimes I even try my best.

I never know how someone will react/respond/understand.
> You should also know that SARSCoV2 1) is not a chimeric virus,

There is no basis for this claim. Genomic evidence shows that SARS-CoV-2 is not a chimera of any two previously-known viruses. No possible genomic evidence could exclude a chimera of two previously-unknown viruses, and the WIV was the world's leading collector of such novel sarbecoviruses from nature. They proposed to make chimeras of them in DEFUSE. That proposal wasn't funded, but this article now reports explicit claims they did such work:

> They said the Wuhan scientists had inserted furin cleavage sites into viruses in 2019 in exactly the way proposed in Daszak’s failed funding application to Darpa.

You're basically rehashing Andersen's "Proximal Origins" here, and even he has moved on to more sophisticated (though still unconvincing) arguments like Pekar. As David Relman wrote almost three years ago:

> This argument [that SARS-CoV-2 must be natural since it doesn't use a known backbone] fails to acknowledge the possibility that two or more as yet undisclosed ancestors (i.e., more proximal ancestors than RaTG13 and RmYN02) had already been discovered and were being studied in a laboratory—for example, one with the SARS-CoV-2 backbone and spike protein receptor-binding domain, and the other with the SARS-CoV-2 polybasic furin cleavage site. It would have been a logical next step to wonder about the properties of a recombinant virus and then create it in the laboratory.

> The fraction that doesn't work is either too young to pay taxes anyway, or they had used road commutes before they retired. Everybody else are within the margin of error.

The argument that either everyone was already a tax-paying driver or will soon be one is hard to believe. Without data, I won't take that at face value.

Even that 'margin of error,' I think needs some examination. Any 'margin of error' means there is a subsidy. Notably, drivers are simply not paying the full cost of their road usage. If so, it would not matter at all whether there were retirees or not, the costs would be payed for entirely by drivers. That is not the case, ergo, drivers are subsidized. Now, let's argue about what that percentage is.

> So in practice, car owners don't get substantially subsidized by transit users.

This is moving the goal posts as far as I can tell. The statement is that car owners get subsidized by everyone else, not just transit users.

> So in practice, car owners don't get substantially subsidized by transit users. While the inverse is overwhelmingly true, transit users are massively subsidized by car users.

>> This is simply incorrect.

Per the reference: https://lacrossetribune.com/what-causes-roads-to-wear-out/ar...

“Cars usually do not have that much loading impact on the road,” said John Mueller, a DOT Highway Mainten-ance Engineer. “The main source is the water that sits in the joint that freezes and thaws.”

"It is once concrete deteriorates that traffic loads pack a punch. Large trucks can accelerate the process."

Thus, you have it the other way round. Weather deteriorates roads, then it is traffic that amplifies that damage.

We can still make the example more extreme, let's say that group of 300 are 1 mile away, and half take light rail. At this point, it's very clear that the 30 people living 10 miles away (perhaps even 50 miles!), are being subsidized considerably.

Regarding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_power_law, I think I understand what you are trying to get at. In my example, I was trying to keep things about equal and was assuming that both groups of people were driving similar cars. I would suspect in most realistic examples that are similar, that group that is 10 or 50 miles away are probably driving larger vehicles (and maybe farm equipment & logging trucks are more frequently on those roads).

Cutting to the chase though, we don't have to argue to what extent drivers are subsidized, there are numbers for that:

> A report published in the April of 2022 issue of Ecological Economics teased out the lifetime cost of driving a small car to be roughly $641,000, with society subsidizing about 41% of that cost. [1][2]

[1] https://stacker.com/society/how-driving-subsidized-america#:....
[2] https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/slideshow/How-driving-is-s...

Then there are more subsidies at play to keep oil cheap and gasoline artifically low in price, as well as the cost of purchasing cars, and the cost of parking is amortized to property owners [3]

> What's curious about this to me is why Apple is single-handedly saving JPEG-XL from obscurity when AV1 is also a fine substitute for mainstream image compression use cases.

> I pre-paid for the new MS Flight Simulator.

Not that it's your fault, rather than the video game industry's for foisting this stupid standard on us, but rule number 1 is: never pre-order a game.

I broke my own rule for Cyberpunk 2077, because I thought 'hey, it's CDPR, they can't do anything bad', and got a badly broken game that didn't even play properly until several months after release.

Never again. I don't care how big or how fast the hype train is going; I will never ever pre-order a game again.

I was in the alpha and beta for MSFS, and my experience was the same as yours: it took hours and hours to update inside the program, and it felt like the developers had no idea what a CDN was. I still wanted the fancy graphics, so I actually did wait, since I got it essentially for free.

Not worth it. I ended up going back to X-Plane 11, which actually runs properly.
Coq has an interesting compromise, where the actual code passed to the compiler is in ASCII, but one can define sequences which have alternative renderings (usually to attempt to visually match existing math notation). For example, one could write

Theorem demo: forall (x: nat), (exists y, x = S y) -> x <> 0.

In many editors, this will get rendered as

Theorem demo: ∀ (x: ℕ), (∃ y, x = S y) → x ≠ 0.

This looks a lot nicer for mathematicians. (S here is Peano successor.)

One minor nuisance is that, without an additional plugin, you can't actually write source code literally using the Unicode symbols (they're normally display-only, not part of a source file). The plugin to allow one to type them explicitly (with a Unicode-aware input method) does exist, but would make one's source code not portable for other users.

Also, this is really specifically for math, not internationalization, and doesn't provide a helpful model for people wanting to type identifiers in non-ASCII-supported scripts.
I suspect Apple would be perfectly content if they never sold another Mac Pro. I suspect most Mac Pros manufactured are for internal use. Their main products don't have a GPU, so neither does this. It already had an F-U price. Whatever customers use them for, it's an irrelevant side hustle for Apple.

I'd say they should just kill the product off to stop all the incessant whining about what a ripoff it is, but I'm sure they'd counter that there's no such thing as bad publicity.

Apple consistently fails to fully implement hardware protocols because they only need to implement the subset that their hardware and peripherals use. This is yet another example in a very long list for the M1/M2 series. They're cut corner hardware.
I'm describing the what and why, not the how. The older? better? models don't use or need any pressure sensor, it's all designed in to the resonant motor mechanism. The "new" pressure sensor is 100% marketing.
Titanic was in the middle between London and NYC, relatively easily within reach of either by using longer waves. Titanic actively sent distress signals.

MH-370 has flown into the uninhabited area of Southern Indian ocean, far away from any places where a shorter-wave signal would be easy to receive, due to the curvature of Earth. MH-370 apparently did not send any distress signals; if it did, these would likely be received and relayed.
I use Firefox Focus as my content blocker on iOS, it works really well imo.
I think the argument is that during COVID everything was unusual. I think that is a fair argument.

It's impossible to do a real counter-factual comparing what would have happened, but:

Dec 2018: $376.20
Dec 2019: $376.87
COVID
Dec 2022: $378.76
Apr 2023: $378.50

All numbers from https://ycharts.com/indicators/us_real_average_weekly_earnin...

So real (inflation adjusted) wages have been roughly static compared to before COVID. That seems a reasonable point to make compared to the OP's negative sentiment, which seems not to be backed up by the numbers.
I hope I don’t have to describe the chasm that exists between a 10% real loss in the whole of a process, versus a theoretic minimal loss of one step in a process.

It is not anti-progress to point out obviously impossible things.

> will be cheaper than BEVs to build and likely no more expensive to run.

Please explain to the luddites in the room how it will cost the same. How it could ever cost the same. Both would start with electricity. The BEV would charge directly on that. The hydrogen car would require an electrolyzer, cleaning of the gas, compressing it, transmission, distribution, refueling stations, then a fuel cell. Each step along the way being costly and not 100% efficient. Hint: you can’t.

Even if you hook up a perfect fuel cell to a perfect electrolyzer, for each kW you put into the electrolyzer you’ll be getting less than 1 kW from the fuel cell.

Except the marginal costs is not zero. The marginal cost of the next kg of hydrogen is not zero. Electricity is not free, and each kg of hydrogen requires the same amount of electricity as the previous.

Toyota making one car for their racing circuit is very different from them making it cheaply and people buying it on mass. Again, real operating costs of the vehicle they sell on the market today are 5x higher the BEVs, so why would anyone buy it?

The only way you’ll reach green hydrogen for less 1.5$/kg is if you have an army of volunteers working on donated equipment for >0.02$/kWh. There are few of any places that even have electricity that cheap.

It is not me that’s living in the past, it’s the hydrogen hype that has come back for its third crack at things. On the hope that maybe this time around thermodynamics will be different.
Yes, for a little while. Or at least waver in your rationalism and hope they exist. Then two things will happen:

1. Definitive proof that UFOs don't exist will come out
2. Definitive proof of Martian or ice moon life will be revealed

In our relief in knowing that UFOs don't exist we'll be more likely to accept Martian fossils or whatever without riots and religious violence
Public recruitment typically happens at university, which is dominated by young people.

Older people who show up at the university job fair or get “encouraged” by faculty with connections get recruited just the same.

In fact, they’re not recruiting 20 year olds, they’re more likely to recruit people in their late 20s or even 30s who have some real life experience and travel under their belts.

Caveat: apparently service in the Peace Corps and certain other NGOs will disqualify you for Officer duty. At least that’s the claim, backed up by several ex-officers.

It’s not higher level concurrency mechanics, it’s different, and changing between assumptions of single process concurrency to multi-threaded are generally non trivial for a long established project in c with a vibrant ecosystem (note the evaluation on tcl, perl, and python runtimes). And in general PostgreSQL is a user space application, albeit a database, and generally portable. WRT to metal, this is a few layers removed, but yeah most databases care about their concurrency model, trade offs on x clients, n transactions, y queries, z nodes. In this case the difference between processes and threads causes the concern re switching. In most oss projects this type of change if it happens might take some time. Per my other comment in this thread, pg has a vibrant ecocsystem community both oss, commercial and within org that this will also impact.

Wafers are cheap. Bonding is not. And grinding is expensive. (Just ask Harris and Burr-Brown, who introduced this step ages ago for their processes requiring dielectric isolation.) So if that's cheaper than a few EUV masks, that says a lot about EUV!
It is fact that a group that funds research in Wuhan (Eco health alliance) submitted a grant request to DARPA to fund research to engineer a coronavirus which could infect human lungs by inserted a specific cleavage site. Covid has that mutation exactly where the grant proposal planned to insert it. And no viruses in teh wild have been found to have that feature. This grant proposal was submitted in 2018.

For covid to be natural it would have had to mutate in the same way as planned in the grant proposal within 2 years of the grant proposal, and then travel hundreds of miles not infecting anyone on the way until it got to the city where this research was planned to be done.

Think about it.
If this is due to Ukraine war, let's be mindful Putin wanted to join earlier during Bush Jr reign. Again, Putin accepted implementation of Minsk 1 and 2 but Nato insist of creating war path. So European going to die enmass in coming WW3 is fully on them. Most of my richer european friends and colleagues already sending their kids and love one to Asia side. They have American passports but quite a few cancelled that as the future is in Asia. Sometime voting is not the answer. Violent is. Today the freedom in the west are nearly all attain through violence. Europeans that allow thenselves on the war path is the same as tjose Germans that allow a small minority of Nazi turning their coubtry into graveyards. Vigilantee assassination maybe illegal but morally it is right. Sometime doing the right thing is hard but have to for tge good of many.

AFAIK, the FDR and CVR can both be disabled by crew to some degree. I think they can be disconnected from the aircraft's power system (by fuse/breaker), but they also have some amount of battery backup.

Part of Federal Express Flight 705's whole debacle was that the hijacker tried to pull the breaker on the CVR.

And the investigation into SilkAir 185 was hampered because the recorders had their power pulled as a apart of load shedding while trying to resolve issues onboard the aircraft.
What I don't get is, why the lowered RAM limit? Wouldn't being able to run a 512GB model on the GPU be a big selling point?

Pfft, death isn't necessary to evolution in the sense your implying.

Transmission of ideas and wealth - even societal restructuring doesn't require all the old people to first die.

Adapt or die. We cease to adapt and so we die. We're we as a species to overcome death individually, we would still collectively be bound by the same mantra.

Not that our evolution would stop - rather I think the opposite.

Assuming cellular commission is similar to a 30 year old and as healthy/mentally capable as a 30 something; so truly overcoming those obstacles - a 300 year old version of me would be better than the me now.

Taxi drivers brain composition changed by driving around London - I'll bet an extra 200 years will do something.

As long as our populace remain "Mentally Liquid" we will be fine - something 300 years of seeing and living constant changes should all but guarantee. Can't be yelling at the kids on the lawn for 200 years right?

I think elongation human life will be necessary in the not so distant future and I expect it to happen.
