Meanwhile people in power maintain their inequality of power by manipulating the monetary system. Uh... Bitcoin pls?

>Given enough money and time, you could make people do anything and believe anything. Anyone who doesn't bend to the will of big capital will be made irrelevant.

I think this is a lot less human than you make it out to be. I looked up BP largest shareholder. Some conglomerate owned 0.6% of the company.

So... its more like economics rather than different people with bags of money.
You could do some basic filtering on e.g. top 3 moves are all within 0.5 or something
Well, workstation implies a lot. And the price. It's not just a marketing term. It implies more PCIe lanes than a normal desktop (which in this case is not being realised) and better graphics capability for intensive tasks. The latter is up for debate. I'd imagine a 4090 equipped HEDT still kicks its ass in most workstation-type workloads.

The unified memory is great for LLM style tasks of course and it's one of the few ways to get a GPU setup with over 100GB for less than $100k.

PS Not sure how the comparison with a 20 year old system applies though ;)
> A tribe would weed out internal bullies, or overly aggressive behavior, to promote cooperation in large groups.

No they wouldn't. If a tribe needs bullies that can be targeted against outgroups... well, how does one even become a bully?

Bullies need practice. It's a skill like any other. Maybe every great once in awhile some natural is born that needs no practice. Too rare to count on.

No, you let your own children grow up bullies. You let the bullies have the marginal people in your group (when's the last time you heard of a school bully picking on the football players and cheerleaders?). Then you can keep a reserve of bullies, in case you ever need them.

It's plainly obvious this happens. I'm always a little surprised that everyone is so blind to it. Sure, it's instinctive and not deliberate, but still.
You're here. :P.
Sadness. Anchor Steam has always hard to find here in Indiana, but I knew a few bars that had it. Delicious stuff. I'll miss it.
Apply "nullius in verba" to someone else's report of an experiment they did, but you didn't witness. What do you come up with?

I agree it would be nice if we didn't have to go to that extreme, but the history of science, and of scientists either fooling themselves about their own results or being willing to outright fabricate results, has made it necessary. The Royal Society when they originally came up with their motto might not have fully grasped that possibility.
I bought a 2023 road atlas the other day. I'll probably never use it but got it just in case GPS goes down and I need to get somewhere farther away than I usually travel. Just a backup in the event its needed. Seems like its something everyone should have tucked away somewhere. Will buy a new one every few years to keep it updated.
I sort of agree with the author's hypotheses, but reach diametrically different conclusions.

Price goes to zero at highest solar production within the day, ergo nuclear will suffer from this. Counterpoint: if electricity is sold at spot price, wouldn't it be solar mostly affected by this? If at its best hours price is zero or negative, this means mostly zero profits for solar certainly. Meanwhile nuclear still has nights to get some of the investment back?

The awkward thing is: mostly nuclear works. France is doing ok, thank you, has best CO2-impact, with flexible production tech though. But renewables suffer from the presence of nuclear.

While mostly renewables suffer from very high storage and flexibility requirements. The author mostly handwaves those away: "I have no doubt that entrepreneurs will find zillions of ways to use energy available". Sure free energy is nice, but that's a problem for solar investors surely (or the taxpayer).

But in the end what do we want? Renewables? Or the expectation that renewables reduce CO2? Zero-CO2 can be done with flexible nuclear.

----

More on the prices:

* Short term market design (matching demand and production on spot): prices for solar and wind collapses when production is highest

* Long term market design (contracts for production at specified times): solar and wind can't predict their production, prices are lower than predictable sources.

This means you cannot free-market renewables unless with massive subsidies, or with artificially created market rules (like the current 'merit order' in the EU, which stifles coal and gas but nuclear too in an unfair manner)
When it gets bad enough you need this for an organization, you hire a "librarian"[0], it's literally their job to classify and keep track of information. They have a whole degree program called Library and information science.

Let the experts handle this stuff. How many times have you found some super important production piece being handled in a disaster of Excel and 400 different versions all named ridiculous things, and nobody knows which is the right one to use? Why? Because they didn't bring software development in soon enough.

0: Librarian is our commonly understood word for the broad profession of information management, but the experts tend to have many different job titles for their discipline, get a subject matter expert(I'm not one) to help you track down the right job title for your specific project.

I've used this system for a few years in the past. It's definitely handy for some people, but it didn't fit my use case. I now store all important documents/photos/backups in the cloud and consider the computer to be basically throwaway.

As a devoted rubyist, it seems clear to me in retrospect that ruby's "pretty complex to parse is just fine" approach has been a real challenge to the language's success. For reasons related to discussion in OP.

very good question to ask.

I recall reading that higher status was associated with longer life in 19th/20th civil servants in the UK or the US, it's possible that this was true in mesopotamia as well.

In theory, the trappings of what the article called "prestige" status should confer a happier life - if many people like you, you'll have easier access to resources, better social relationships, and perhaps even more meaning/sense of purpose in your life, all of which I believe are correlated with longevity and health.
I used to always buy games from GameStop, but that was long before they became, what is IMO, a horrible business. Nowadays I only buy from GS as a last resort, when shopping for a gift and I can’t find it anywhere else, or if there’s a big deal and it saves me $10-20 over any other store. But both of these are very rare. And even then I usually regret it, as I get the game unsealed with a giant, very sticky price sticker directly on the case. (I’ve probably bought 2 games from them over the past ~10 years.)

I still think back fondly on the early days of GameStop, and some memories of taking my kids there.

And I still buy physical mostly (particularly for triple A and first party titles), for a number of reasons, so I hope that physical still remains for a while, despite the broader move to digital.

But I won’t be sad when GS goes belly up. I’ve already mourned the “good ol’ days” — the GameStop I knew and loved is long gone.

I was initially thinking "well, yes, Nobel Prize for Stating the Obvious there", but looks like the paper was written in the far distant past of 2021, when LLMs were largely still in their babbling obvious nonsense stage, rather than the current state of the art, where they babble dangerously convincing nonsense, so, well, fair enough I suppose.

Amazing how fast progress has been there, though it's progress in an arguably rather worrying direction, of course.
The majority of game menus are there to help you get something done. With some exceptions, games are not played inside their menus, and have the same kinds of UX concerns as any regular app.

The main difference between games and many other apps is that games are trying to sell you a fantasy, and look and feel are much more important to keeping you in the right mindset than in some other apps. But there are other apps and even web pages with similar goals which don't quite qualify as games.

I have a list of some I'm keeping tabs on, I'll share it here. I do it out of a combination of personal obsession plus because I want to source angel investments.

Note though that I'm very biased toward AI companies...

Most established, clear product-market fit:

- OpenAI

- Midjourney

- Character ai

- Runway ML

Ones that are interesting:

- Adept AI

- Modal, Banana.dev

- new.computer

- Magic.dev

- Modular (Mojo)

- tiny corp

- Galileo

- Hippo ML

- Tenstorrent

- contextual.ai

- Chroma

- e2b.dev

- Steamship

- Patterns.app

- GGML

Ones that I want to learn more about before deciding:

- Inflection AI

- GetLindy

- Embra

- Jam.dev

- Vocode.dev

That's about 50% of my list. Happy to clean up the rest and write a post if there's interest
You mostly can't shame all of humanity at the same time (shame doesn't work like that). So even something like "The Big Bunny Ass asteroid is predicted to collide with Earth in 12 years and kill 5 billion people" doesn't get the same reaction as the Sonic gene from the example.

But the tradition from physics (and the closest areas, like astronomy) of using silly names does make it sound a lot like witchcraft. What is very funny for some people, and enraging for others.

Typical transits last a few hours, and exposures times are typically a few minutes. So you have up to hundreds of exposures per transit. I guess how "statistically recoverable" this data is depends beside the resolution also on the noise level. The atmosphere introduces a lot of variability in ground-based observations, and a star's brightness is not constant either.
I’ve heard the idea that carbon credits create a fairly unique scenario where both sides, the buyer and the seller of the credits, aren’t that strongly incentivized to call out fraud.

In regular “marketplace” transactions, the buyer wants the genuine product and will be upset if they are defrauded.

In a carbon credit market, the main thing the buyer cares about is the paper, not the thing that the paper is supposed to represent. Certainly, many buyers of carbon credits do care about it being legitimate. But it is more of an altruistic caring, compared to the strong feelings that come up when one gets ripped off.

Because of this dynamic, everything else held equal, there is going to be more fraud.

Nushell is pretty awesome but the one problem with Nushell is it requires commands to "speak" nushell for it's magic to work. Take the example on the landing page with `ls`. `ls` is actually a nushell builtin rather than GNU / BSD / whatever coreutils: https://www.nushell.sh/commands/docs/ls.html

Whereas Murex colours pipelines with type annotations so that it can perform it's magic with your existing system's coreutils.

That's not to say that Nushell's approach is wrong. It's a popular approach used by a few alt shells, including PowerShell. But it does come with trade offs:

1. your coreutil muscle memory needs to remember whether you're in Nushell or Zsh (eg `ls` flags will differ depending on your shell)

2. the developers of Nushell need to re-implement coreutils to expose the genius of their shell. And as we've seen on here before, developing and maintaining coreutils is far from a trivial task

3. any other CLI tools that people might use that might not be common might also not support Nushells magic

These problems doesn't exist for Murex because it is basically an abstraction on top of POSIX.

To be clear though, I'm not making a criticism about Nushell. Murex has it's own problems and trade offs as well. So please take this comment only as a description of where our approaches have differed (I think it is great that there are numerous options these days).
they declined, saying they could be more productive with React

As much as it pains me to say so, they're probably right. If they don't know how to make a static site, and they're familiar with something like Next, then they probably can go faster and just let the framework take care of building the assets.

I wish people still made static sites using boring tech but times have moved on, but honestly there isn't much difference in complexity between a NextJS static site and a Hugo or an 11ty static site.
> It's about power imbalance. Using your power (in this case, wealth) to encourage other people to do actions they otherwise would not want to.

Like working at a sprocket factory? I think that somewhat fairly fits here. You could be describing how most of the world looks at their work. My point is that there might be deeper to look for the more "honest" objection.
You are correct, but this uses Lichess ratings, which are a bit inflated, and probably a variety of time controls including blitz. At levels of play below super-grandmaster with full time control the accuracy of play can be rather low, and picking a suboptimal move will often cost you half a pawn (or more) in engine evaluation. Add this up over an entire game and a one pawn advantage is easily lost in the variability of both players making compounding errors.
I actually agree with you:

But my former home is rented to our son at a discount to its market value to help him out and it offsets most of the holding cost. But I still lose money. That’s the only thing that the extra money is going to - offset the mortgage.

Honestly, my fixed costs are actually lower than they were before I started working for BigTech when I was working as a journeyman CRUD developer making less than a returning intern got at my current company.

I was making $120K when I had my house built in the burbs in 2016 and paid 3.5% down with an FHA mortgage. I was the only one on the mortgage.

If I had still been making that, I would have sold my house that doubled in value over the past six years and paid cash for my place in Florida.

My total expenses including mortgage and all utilities is less than $3000 where I live now. I was paying more for my mortgage, utilities, maintenance.

Even without that, my 1250 square foot condo I bought in 2022 was the same price I paid to have my 3200 square foot house built in 2016.

The amount we pay for Uber or SixT is about the same as we paid for one car note + maintenance on an older car + car insurance.

I don't really get the point of this. I had much longer hair and a full beard when I got my driver's license. I look vastly different now. Every now and again, a TSA agent will casually comment that I don't look anything like my ID photo. They still let me through. Since I was in the active duty military for a long time and able to renew my license from out of state without ever having to go the DMV, before getting my current license, I was as old as 38 using a license with a picture of me taken when I was 23. They still let me through every time.

The internet has always hated Gamestop for their absurd pricing. Buying used games for $1 and selling for $50. The business received a load of reflected glory from the short squeeze craze, but the core business didn't actually change much. The reason the short squeeze even happened is because enough investors thought the business was completely doomed.
