It is not even informed opinion. His remarks can be basically put into textbooks and lecture slides as fact. At this point he is basically authority on this kind of public commercial dive.

Saying that air pollution shouldn't be one of the deciding factors when considering whether to do a controlled burn is very different from saying it should be a free for all.
I have been a Linux single-booter since at least 15 years, and have used a wide variety of DM/WM as my primaries for years. All my biases are in favour of Linux.

I don't think I've ever had the mouse event delay issues that you're talking about, and I don't use focus-follows-mouse. But I still marvel at how quickly light programs open on all versions of Windows. I mean programs like terminal, notepad, various control panel stuff, MS default games, etc. I don't think you will find anything that runs on X that will be as responsive as Windows. I don't know if the Wayland universe is any better.
> Who died and made you the authority on layman terms?

Fair. I'm not an expert on it or anything. But I do listen to how people speak, and what they mean. Many people are using words loosely.

I searched on twitter for tweets with the term "drowned". Scrolled through a few hundred, and filtered out the ones which were talking about the Titan incident and which said or implied that the people on-board "drowned". I found 5 such tweets. This is of course not an exhaustive sample, but is what I have now.

Here are the five tweets (please don't harass any of these people, also I'm not endorsing these tweets in any way)

- https://twitter.com/OfSymbols/status/1671581923825668098

Do read them. Do you have the impression that these people considered the failure modes of a submersible and concluded that the people on-board died due to a slow leak filling up the cabin and their lungs filling up with water? Or it is more likely that they use the word "drowned" as a loose shorthand for "died under water / died due to the sea"?

I think they more likely did the second. Either never considered how one dies on a submarine, or they were writing without care for exactitude. In fact I have evidence for this second one in one of these cases. Devin_Young_ who claims to be a veteran submariner and he was called out[1] in a later tweet for the implications of the term "drowned".

His answer was "I used “drowned” loosely. You are correct; it would be violent, and instantaneous.".

Also NagaSlateTTV used the hastag "implosion" right after calling those lost "drowned". Which to me implies that they are using the term in a more general way, rather than precisely per the definition.

Thanks for the detail on your experience. I have a semi-automatic Breville and love it but I see where you’re coming from. At the end of the day it’s about finding the method that works for you. The Jura sounds like an awesome choice for my parents who like you don’t want the hassle of the manual espresso.

I know some folks who love Folgers made in a coffee pot. It wouldn’t be my first choice but it shouldn’t be compared to single origin espresso, it’s just a different drink with its own pros and cons.
The comment they were replying to didn’t sound long term. It specified “now” in the first sentence, so at best short-medium term.

The “everyone just needs to do <x>” part wasn’t a reference to a long term idea, it was them replying to somebody expecting that immediately (or, with a more forgiving reading, in a shorter term)
Some sort of logistics-based version of "Ender's Game"...
Is iron oxide magnetic in nanoparticle size? Because if it is, then we can probably very efficiently filter it before releasing it into the atmosphere.
I noticed that many people who propose this are not aware of a plethora of health issues that people have that make eating plant-based foods extremely difficult.

For many people eating plants only is extremely difficult - e.g. for me personally, with a plethora of food allergies (soy, almonds, various kinds of nuts, apples, peaches and other fruits) and intestine issues causing irritation when consuming multiple other things.

Ditto people that require a low/slow carb diet - there is a limit of how much nuts you can eat a week without getting sick ;)
For contrast, my daily driver is Debian/KDE on a typical 9-year-old laptop and opening/interacting with absolutely everything is immediate and snappy.
This is actually the same principle as BTC. High volume cheap electricity is used to process random numbers and the value is stored as BTC allowing it to be freely transferred once first mined.

The green economics of this need some serious consideration as i'd be really aware if you can reprocess it and get a second reaction for less energy than it cost you to turn the rust back into free iron metal.
and in the days of the WU telegraph network, you could most definitely go talk to the guys in charge, it was not a faceless corporation like facebook, or google.

how easy was it to talk to the local USPS vs talking to a human at google? what is the likelyhood you could get some form of adequate help from the USPS office? or from the bell telephone network?

get real, these megacompanies are just 100% not giving a flying fuck, because people seemingly turn off their brain and open their mouths wide

And also, only 5% of all accidents are two rolling cars collisions, and a not small part of that are parking collision.

The average number of death per km was decreasing until covid in Europe and countries that did not buy into the SUV trends, but started increasing in the US in the early 2010s and correlate with the percentage of SUVs.
Millions of people are in those camps, I highly doubt even 1% are these extremists you think they are. You're waving away a serious problem because of your extremely pro-China stance as evidenced by your comments. You should reevaluate your beliefs with better information that isn't coming from Chinese propaganda.
At the speed of light, photons travel about 1 foot per nanosecond.

In other words, a modern 2 GHz processor would have time to execute at least one instruction between the time photons leave the screen, and the moment they reach your retina. Probably more than one, with multicore pipelined processors.

And yet today we wait and wait and wait for Windows to open a simple program.

This is pretty heartbreaking in my opinion. I've heard the phrase "Childhood obesity is one of the easiest diseases to avoid, and one of the hardest to cure." Nearly all obese kids will struggle with their weight their entire (usually shortened) lives, so a parent inflicting that on their kids is ensuring they will have to suffer with that problem a very long time.
Here's what I see. https://imgur.com/KuptvpP

Ok I see what's happening. If I zoom out from my normal zoom I see the buttons. For some reason on a 13" mac laptop set to one larger than default text, the buttons are missing. This makes more sense. It's just a bug. You can see it by shrinking your screen.

I don't want to stay signed in when I only use it every six months and it could be used to drain my bank account. I feel more comfortable entering the code.
Why should Silicon Valley people be the only ones to make Silicon Valley money off their skills?

There's nothing inherent or ontological about tech that demands the money it does. It's needed, and the money is available, so that happens. If you know how to work a lathe, and the money is available, you deserve to be able to get it.
Why can't people understand human nature?

Why can't people just do research the real way rather than circuitously go to the wrong answer machine and then double check everything it says?

it could be, but like other posters have mentioned, it takes a lot of energy to mine and refine the iron so it'd be in a usable state.

I think it's easiest to think of iron as another energy storage medium that could ease the peaks of renewable energy, by taking excess renewable energy to generate the iron, and oxidizing the iron for energy generation during peak demand periods with low renewable generation

It's like hydrogen in that way.
Right, so obviously you're not one of them. No need to virtue signal.
Hardly. Labor Unions were against immigration and globalization and demanded tariffs to protect US industries. Chavez was prolific in his anti-immigration arguments. It was the capital holders who pushed globalization, outsourcing and mass immigration.
Renewables are exceedingly bad at storing energy for times when sun or wind isn't blowing so you always need a mix.
Notably, this study doesn't focus on current plant-based meat substitutes like Impossible, Beyond, or Gardein, which objectively produce less CO2, use less resources, and cause less suffering.
Because renewables are intermittent and unevenly located. This could potentially solve those problems.

There could be a space for it. Or maybe batteries will just always be better. Depends on the full costs of each and the use case. Burning fuel to make electricity is pretty inefficient, but burning fuel for heat compares better.
Sounds exactly like something chatGPT would say to convince you to trust it :D
How are you using TipTap with Monaco instead of ProseMirror, do you have the bindings/plugins working the same way?

How does this compare to something like Milkdown using markdown as a native format?

I see you solved some of the hard problems (tables, etc.) with Yjs and CRDT in general.

Are the backend components also open source?
The text content of the tweets seem pretty unreliable as this states its a Surface Go 2 with a Quad Core i5, despite the fact the Surface Go 2 never shipped with anything quad core and definitely not an i5.

Maybe it is a spinning rust disk. Even then there's a world of difference between a period accurate drive and a late model IDE drive. The last IDE drives had more drive cache than most desktops had RAM when NT was new.
Thanks for chiming in! How do you make your coffee?
One long-term project I’m planning is actually a fully open source desktop computing platform. While originally meant as a learning project, I realized a few years ago Ben Eater[0] has done this in a way far superior to anything I could create myself, so I started focusing on very basic hardware, beginning with power supplies. My goal ultimately is to select a processor that is as close to open source as possible, design a motherboard around it, make it fast enough to be suitable for general purpose uses, design a PSU, daughter boards (hot swap SATA backplane, I/O ports), a few PCIe x16 lanes, and ultimately a custom graphics card.

Designing the motherboard is surprisingly easy, the way PCIe is setup makes routing high speed connections fairly straightforward, and most I/O chips are just some sort of bus input and the interface output. The hardest part is finding the ICs that actually have good documentation not locked behind an NDA, or have good alternatives as one of my criteria is that every chip I select must have a pin-for-pin drop in replacement available.
6gbs SATA is the hardest one to source. I suspect this problem only will compound if I ever get to creating a graphics card.

> The punishment isn’t just the $5,000, it’s the public shaming that came with it.

Both the fine and the public shaming are very light "punishments". Everyone's pointing and laughing now, but in a year nobody will even remember their name and their career will be fine.
> making meat more expensive through taxes or fewer subsidies on meat or feed grains (corn).

But how is that any less dime a dozen? In theory, I agree with you. But the reality is, we don't have the politicians with the backbone or the will to say "I'm going to make your food more expensive." People lost it when eggs shot up in price. Imagine that across the entire diary and meats section at the supermarket?

Incentive work, but this Fed gov solution is DOA.
Those drugs are not approved for use in children and require subcutaneous injections.

It would probably take more than 10 years just to push it through children approval and it would fail because they are not at all side effect free especially on a growing body.

I think you’re way too optimistic about drug efficacy. The studies I’ve seen on those drugs showed they were less effective then gastric bypass surgery and I’ve seen people who get that surgery and then still struggle to keep weight off.

We need more government propaganda against obesity. We were able to reduce smoking with propaganda we can do the same with obesity. Problem is the majority is overweight or obese already and they’re sensitive about it. There’s even pro obesity people.
Other flags that can be useful not mentioned here:

* -fvisibility=internal (stronger than hidden and must be used with a LOT OF CARE, e.g. never pass a function pointer to a function not marked explicitly with hidden or default visibility in that case as its ABI may change)
* -Bsymbolic / -Bsymbolic-functions / -fno-semantic-interposition (interesting explanations: http://maskray.me/blog/2021-05-09-fno-semantic-interposition)
* -fno-stack-protector (not recommended for libz aha)
* -fno-plt / -fno-ident (very small effect, more for the sake of completeness)
* -fvirtual-function-elimination (surprisingly not done by default, here I can sometime get back a few percent through this on OO heavy codebases)
* -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wl,--gc-sections (largest improvement in my experience, sometimes this literally halved binary size for me when coupled with lto)
* -Wl,--as-needed
* -Wl,--icf=all (I heard horror stories about this but it works fine here)

in some cases, when all used together (as there's some synergy between the various optimizations of these flags) this can have double-digits effects on binary size reduction percentage
At what point should there just be a fat tax on the sale of craptastic-security-by-design computer hardware? Or law against using el-crapo-security computer architectures & OS's (<cough>MS Windows</cough>) in places like hospitals?
Might be possible to create a completely closed system to address the loss?

I am more concerned/confused by the fact that they use hydrogen to reduce the iron. That seems like a very convoluted process, why not use the hydrogen generate heat instead? Yes, it has much lower density, but it has advantages to make up for it, for instance the fact that you don't need to worry about evaporation, leakage, filters, all that at all.
May I ask how it broke away and what did you to remedy it
I agree with the post. My first computer had worse specs than this and was a perfectly usable experience. I actually used it to edit videos. It had 128mb RAM and shipped with Windows 98.
I think this is likely more of an energy storage project, rather than an energy production one (which seems to be the stance the article takes).

At grid-level, battery tech is challenging, requiring technologies like pumped storage that require particular environments (e.g. damming a river) and can't really be transported.

If this works out you could use excess solar during the day to deoxidize the rust produced, and then run the iron reactor overnight, or on cloudy, windless days.
As others have pointed out, Windows 2000 would probably be a better comparison than NT 3.51. Apps did not open instantly on most computers in ~2000, and larger apps like Word could take a few seconds.

On the other hand, a large part of the delay was due to the slow seek time of the magnetic hard drive (milliseconds). The CPUs only had one core, and RAM was both smaller and much slower. Modern SSDs make seek time negligible, ancient PassMark scores suggest a >10x improvement in single-core CPU performance, and there's been a >20x improvement in RAM transfer rate and a >40x improvement in RAM size. Residential internet bandwidth has seem something like a 100x improvement.

None of that hardware improvement seems visible in modern PCs, except for nicer graphics and (especially) higher-resolution displays. But comparing video games from ~2000 to video games today reveals just how small that graphical difference is in the OS/application space. MS Office was a lot more responsive in the early 2000s, too.

In the early days of Firefox, the developers bragged that every new release was smaller than the previous one. Maybe one day there will be a fad for more responsive software in general.
How will it work, do you just take the pills and then just go on doing whatever you like? I have people in my family who take semaglutide, and they actually had to get off it because it ran out and people with diabetes actually needed it.

I believe they gained weight again but they also have side effects from it so wouldn't it just be better to lose the weight without the pills, as usual?
Evaluation of options: Differentiation and vulnerability in a competitive market
The article mentions a HEPA filter.
Doh, somehow missed that, thanks!
My comment was in response to a person who said “why can’t manufacturers make something that appeals to my specific tastes?”

The answer is, there’s no future in serving tiny niches. Due to economies of scale it makes sense to target larger segments. Kinda like a government trying to please everyone.
Form Energy is a bit light on details, but it looks like they are using a water based electrolyte, add oxygen, get electric power and rust when discharging, then add electric power and get iron and oxygen when charging.

The project mentioned here is setting the iron powder on fire and need to use a steam turbine to get electric power out of it. So different tech.
You just described a Honda Civic.

EV cars are not quite there yet on price and economies of scale, so they have to have all the "luxury" frills to justify the $10-15k higher price tag vs the same ICE car.

Something closer to what you want will come eventually though. We're just still early in the EV market as a % of overall vehicles sold. Prices have already come down a lot and will continue to do so in the future.
I'm afraid you're putting too much weight on language. Windows is largely built on C++, no? The impact of adding features, multiple layers of architecture, maintained by many people over a long time is worse. Don't underestimate the capacity of creating slow software in ANY language. Software architecture and project management are unsolved problems in the industry.
> To your point, hyper fixation on the long term goal makes it seem unachievable.

It's not even a feasible long term goal, though. There are plenty of places where steady progress will lead to achievements in the long term that seem unbelievable now - science may yet reverse climate change, achieve nuclear fusion at scale, cure cancer (and aging), etc.

This isn't one of those things, though. There's no path from where we are now to nobody eating animals that involves us just making incremental progress, a bit at a time. Long-term goals are great, but long-term goals that can't plausibly be achieved are bad.
Nobody here is. There is no possibility to virtue signal in this case as the audience will never see it.

Sorry that I let out your little secret that animals are harmed in the process of resource extraction. I don't think it was ever much of a secret, though.
I don't think "glorifying" victims over oppressors is "thinly veiled racism". Colonizer isn't a race.
The skepticism comes from a keen awareness that technology is not a solution in itself. You've made a common logical fallacy; it is true that factory farming and solar panels can solve specific problems. But measuring the progress of the proposed solution doesn't measure its effectiveness at solving the fundamental problem at scale. Nor does it prove that the technology is appropriate or necessarily better than alternatives.

If solar panels are a solution to replace fossil fuels, then show me a decrease in fossil fuels (nope, solar panel adoption and fossil fuel burn are positively correlated). If factory farms are a solution for providing reducing the impact of traditional farms, then show me a decrease in the total ecological footprint of our agricultural system (nope, we can't even do so on a small scale per this study and others like it). What you call "skepticism", I call critical thinking about empirical data.
Well, it ties into the storage issue that we see with renewable. We still need energy when there is no wind at night. Burning iron at night and regenerating during the day could be a solution.
It needs to prove that it can be competitive with the other methods (compressed air, li-ion batteries, flow batteries, molten salts, flywheels...).
Here's a Usenix presentation by the last author, Timothy Roscoe, from August, 2021 on YouTube. [1]

He makes a very compelling case for greatly expanding the concept of an operating system into all of the hardware in a given computing environment.

At first it was just generated citations. The opposing lawyers and judges could not find the cases, and so they then asked chatGPT for them, and it generated them, and they were submitted to the court. (One of the lawyers notarized the other’s filings.)

There are even transcripts of chatGPT telling the accused that it is not an authoritative or up-to-date legal database.

The punishment could arguably be more severe, since it demonstrated that these lawyers do not read their cases, particularly the one that notarized everything.
Already happening.

Several of the more useless middle managers I deal with are suddenly writing these long emails that are almost certainly edited GPT generated crap. You can pretty easily generate questions or other things to bog people down with. It’s comical.
I feel like git services like github would be well-suited to join the fediverse. It's clear to a lot of us that our code is becoming too centralized, but it's also hard to deny the usefulness of being able to search across so much code in a single place.

I'd also expect that users of github would have an easier time than the average person figuring that change out.
They have no time and they have to go by car everywhere.
