Because making calories from livestock that grazes on grass is terribly inefficient, which is why we:

1. put them into small boxes usually, which creates a big nitrogen problem (mixing urine and shit is bad news)

2. feed them other stuff, usually made of soy which is grown in burned down rainforests

3. grow the grass with artificial fertilizers (made out of natural gas) and use pesticides, which also requires gasoline (to power machines)

If we're not even talking the CO2e emissions including methane, or the land use, pollution etc then for each calorie of cow you produce you could also create 25 plant based calories. The problem is a lot of people don't want to (only) eat plant based stuff, so we are coming up with ways to manufacture something in a lab that tastes similar to meat.

There are several ways to beat the natural process, which is really not that efficient at all and involves a lot of negative effects on the environment even if we disregard animal suffering. I mean, it does make sense if you think about it from first principles: a cow doesn't only turn grass into meat and milk, but also needs to move, to reproduce, it needs to power its brain, etc. We should be able to save a lot of energy in a lab not doing all those things and become vastly more efficient than what the cow does. And we could build a mass production process that is way more easier to manage than cattle and slaughterhouses. That is the theory.

The vast, vast majority of meat is grown on land which we can put to better use. The tiny amount of livestock that can be put on a natural rotational grazing system in a sound way making use of land that has no better purpose is so, so small, we shall be eating one burger a year at most from that system.
People rely on v4 UUIDs for things like session tokens, where the unguessability of the ID is ensured by the amount of randomness it has. You shouldn't use a v7 UUID here because it has considerably less entropy.

However, for object retrieval (e.g. "show me my accounts with object IDs X, Y and Z"), you shouldn't be just relying on the unguessability of the ID anyway - you should be using appropriate access control permission checks (because for object IDs even if they are unguessable they are frequently not guaranteed to be private, e.g. they show up in log files, they may be in URLs that people share, etc., and they don't expire, unlike a session ID).

A frequent source of severe security vulnerabilities are bugs in these access control checks, which can lead to insecure direct object reference (IDOR) vulnerabilities, where I can say "Show me account with ID X" even though I don't own or have permissions to that account. If you're using incrementing integer IDs for your object IDs here, abusing this bug is trivially easy - just walk up and down the IDs next to yours. I think it was the Parler app that had a particularly egregious case of this - they weren't doing any access control checks on posts at all.

However, if your object ID is a v7 UUID, this bug becomes much more difficult to abuse, because your IDs may not be completely unguessable to a strong adversary, but you should be able to detect the failed access attempts when you see someone trying billions of access attempts and only getting not found errors (of course, you should be rate limiting these attempts in the first place).
Not only that. It's not Wirth's Law.

It's the fact that manpower can't keep up with the exploding amount of complexity and use cases that happened to computing in the last decades.

We went from CLI commands and a few graphical tools for the few that actually wanted to engage with computers, to an entire ecosystem of entertainment where everyone in the world wants 'puters to predict what could they want to see or buy next.

To maintain the same efficiency in code we had in the 90-2000s, we would need to instantly jump the seniority of every developer in the world, right from Junior to Senior+. Yes, you can recruit and train developers, but how many Tanenbaums and Torvalds can you train per year?

The biggest amount of cruft not only went to dark patterns and features in programs like animations and rendering that some people regard it as "useless" (which is debatable at minimum). But the layers went also to improve "developer experience".

And I'm not talking about NodeJS only. I'm talking about languages like Python, Lua, or even the JVM.

There's a whole universe of hoops and loops and safeguards made so that the not-so-genius developer doesn't shoot themselves in the foot so easily.

I'm sure that you can delete all of that, only leave languages like Rust, C and C++ and get a 100x jump in performance. But you'd also be annihilating 90% of the software development workforce. Good luck trying to watch a movie in Netflix or counting calories on a smartwatch.

I tested on my own local win10 VM, and I get similar performance for the inbuilt windows apps.

This is for a machine that is running on relatively slow spinning disks too.
"The overriding design goal for Markdown’s formatting syntax is to make it as readable as possible. The idea is that a Markdown-formatted document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking like it’s been marked up with tags or formatting instructions."

Ha! I've never read that, but having used Markdown quite a bit, they have entirely failed that goal. A Markdown document is parsable by a human, but it still looks like content surrounded by tag barf that failed to render.
https://heartland.org/opinion/trump-was-right-about--raking-...

> In Finland, after clear-cutting a forest area, crews use heavy machinery (similar to what is used in this video) to “rake” or gather tree harvesting residues, tree roots and other material into huge piles. The biomass is then chipped onsite after it has dried up sufficiently, and chips are hauled to local heat-producing plants to generate warmth for local residents.

How does this justify handing out free insurance post facto on everyone else's dime? Running a business involves taking and managing risk. Or at least that's what we are told when founders and VCs are the only ones who get rich during exits. But as soon as they get burned the masses are there to bail them out. Tails you win, Heads I lose.

> Furthermore, the returns at SVB were not that spectacular, I assure you.

Free money/services are free money/services. It's nice that the additional interest and in-kind services are pennies and nickles to you multi-millionaires and billionaires, but lots of Americans could've happily retired on the total actual value of those "not spectacular" returns, so the argument that "it's not that much money" is going to fall on mostly deaf ears.
Interesting. Is there equivalent data on the question "should two people of different races be allowed to marry?". Seems more relevant than the question asked, which is arguably about states rights.
This would be real meat.

Just to be clear 'beyond meat' is a bean that is fermented.

> and wrote the first human right cylinder.

This interpretation of the Cyrus Cylinder is highly contested https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrus_Cylinder

From Wikpedia: The interpretation of the Cylinder as a "charter of human rights" has been described by various historians as "rather anachronistic" and tendentious. It has been dismissed as a "misunderstanding" and characterized as political propaganda devised by the Pahlavi regime. The German historian Josef Wiesehöfer comments that the portrayal of Cyrus as a champion of human rights is as illusory as the image of the "humane and enlightened Shah of Persia". D. Fairchild Ruggles and Helaine Silverman describe the Shah's aim as being to legitimise the Iranian nation and his own regime, and to counter the growing influence of Islamic fundamentalism by creating an alternative narrative rooted in the ancient Persian past.
I get your point, but "losing interest" can also mean losing flow, because the user got interrupted for five seconds instead of instantly taking the next action in their mental plan.

When apps have these kinds of interruptions all over the place, that's even worse than just having them at startup.
As someone who was hardcore into Windows around that time, all my memory has is waiting desperately for windows to open & apps to load. I remember watching the left-side of explorer paint before the icons came in, and how the icons would paint in order; some days you’d see black squares paint, then the icon. This was running on some dual-socket, 192mb, 7200rpm spinning disk - it wasn’t a slouch.

I also struggle with the comparison between high-end hardware of yesteryear, and low end hardware of today and comparing.

Try running win2k in 16mb, 300mhz P2, and a 4800rpm drive.

The only times I remember experiencing things this fast in my computing career were (a) with a fair wind, and a fully warmed cache that didn’t hit the disk & was a trivial app (b) the first time I used my Apple M1 Max MBP.
Why do you go directly to the extreme implementation? No one said anything about "enforcement". There are ways to push society towards a better paradigm without enforcement. We also shouldn't let the lowest common denominator have a say in the direction of society. People that "would go to war" over the fact that they should eat less red meat are not exactly of sound mind.
The thing is, wording is everything..

In today world everything is a subscription and so is Red Hat..

You buy a subscription from Red Hat and it give you access to a number of RHEL installations as well as related material like the sources for GPL licensed stuff, but those are meant for the benefit of whoever is paying for the subscription.

Lets say that i have a software that was developed by a third-party that is designed to run in RHEL that i have a subscription for and this software have a bug that require me to patch something in the RHEL software to fix, i can share the sources with the developer of this software so it allow them to fix it for me and provide me with the patch to apply in my system. This would not breach the subscription because even tough i shared the sources is for my own benefit.

The problem is when sharing the sources give the subscription benefits to someone that does not have a subscription, at that point RHEL terms say they can cancel your subscription with 30 days notice.

They are not preventing you from sharing the sources, they are preventing you to give someone access the value added by an RH subscription without them having to pay for it.

Now, GPL say that you can share the sources.. you can and so RH will not sue you for that.. But they will cancel your subscription and you will loose access to support and updates..

GPL version 3 is even explicit in this, it literally say that it does not require the developer to provide support, warranty or updates. So RH decide to link those things to the requirement of you not providing access to your subscription benefits for others.
Unless something's changed recently, California doesn't control such things within its own borders for a huge swath of its forests. The federal government does, and that's been the crux of the matter for as long as I've paid any attention to it.

It's funny how this still feels "futuristic". I'd argue sci-fi, or retro-punk (retro-sci-fi?).
The elements of design are those from the past about the future, like 80s sci-fi movie design/tropes that became stuck with the genre, along with beige CRT monitors and large floppy disks.
I think it's more because the medium used to grow the cells has to be so heavily processed it results in more waste. A chicken will grow in a dirty yard with enough water and corn meal while scratching for bugs and worms. A cell culture requires a nutrient bath that is completely sterile. So instead of just feeding the corn to the chickens you are processing a ton of corn to produce glucose and such...

I think eventually they will create bio reactors that can process corn like a chicken can, but it will essentially just be a chicken without a brain. Meat is honestly disgusting when you think too much about it.
>purposeful burns have been used by Indigenous people to keep forests and wildland healthy for millenia.

Is there any evidence of this? I mean, I know that the indigenous people did so to try to contain fires, because wildfires have been an issue for millions of years. But is there any evidence it was "more successful" historically? I'm not a huge believer that ancient cultures had these things figured out.
Because virtually everyone tests these things with two languages they're familiar with, else you couldn't really verify if it was correct or not. For languages you're not familiar with, you don't have the "mental mode" to talk using a translator, that is there is more to this than just "talking", there is cultural norms, local dialects, slangs etc which are to be respected when learning and speaking languages with native speakers. When a person who speaks English and Italian tests these things. They know what they're in for an compensate a bit.

Google translate screws up for me really, really hard sometimes when I'm speaking Korean but I'm already a pretty strong speaker, native so I know how to work with the screw ups...and laugh about the really bad ones. I'm not going to go into a meeting and blast off with an auto-translator without understanding what I'm saying or have someone to make sure I'm saying the right thing by talking with them first.

I personally wouldn't feel comfortable using something like this for anything of real significance, a really good translator can ensure the message gets delivered.
All nice and dandy. And now imagine doing all that according to some obscure military aviation certification standards from the 50s. For a handful of parts. When you are the only reasonably available supplier.

Aerospace is different from automotive, just how different is only apparent by actually suffering through it. And as I said elsewhere, 200k to keep four highly specialized military planes in the air is, as stupid as it sounds, almost a no brainer.

If you look at PostgreSQL configuration settings, you'll notice a chunk of them are dedicated to dealing with fsync. They even have a dedicated testing tool to test how the database behaves with different modes of syncing.

fsync is a serious performance problem, especially in distributed storage systems. If you can get it under your control, you can definitely benefit from it.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with the "free market." It's quite the opposite, really. It's a story about a US regulatory body foolishly regulating a foreign manufacturer into hiatus. It's not about pricing, or logistics, or tariffs -- it's about a foreign manufacturer of a critical good being unwilling and unable to comply with the US's regulatory burden. (Which was poorly thought out from the outset.)

The drug market is possibly the least "free" market in America, and for this reason, among others, it's the most dysfunctional.

Experiments in LLMs – Vector DBs and Embeddings
This seems like an awfully clueless post. What is "soon"? This year? No. Within five years? Yes. Ten years could well see >50% share.

Ten years ago there was no Aarch64 chip available from anyone. The iPhone 5s came out in September 2013, Android phones early 2015, the first SBCs (e.g. Pi 3 and Odroid C2) in 2016 -- just 7 years ago.

Now Arm makes up 25% of AWS.

The RISC-V Linux kernel, gcc & llvm, Debian and Ubuntu are all in fine shape for generic C/C++ datacenter stuff. All the interpreted languages are there, the things with their own JITs are in the worst shape because they are the only things that need a lot of special RISC-V work (given gcc and llvm are long done) but coming along nicely.

There are a ton of "Raspberry PI" size and cost RISC-V boards now, with quad core 1.5 GHz dual-issue JH7110 SoC (like Pi 3) or quad core 1.85 GHz OoO TH1520 SoC (like Pi 4).

There is a server chip (SG2042) available RIGHT NOW that has similar cores to the first Graviton generation four years ago, but 64 cores per chip instead of 16. You can get it on a single-socket board today, and dual- and quad-socket boards are coming within months. That's up to 256 cores, hundreds of GB of RAM, lots of PCIe, lots of L3 cache.

The $100 TH1520 boards make a great development device for things to run on the SG2042 as they have the same C910 CPU cores.

RISC-V chips in the same class as current (or very recent) x86 and Apple M1 will be available for development purposes NEXT YEAR and in mass production in 2025 or 2026.

Is RISC-V going to take over entire datacentres? No, of course not. Is it going to have a significant and growing place in them within the next five years? Yes.
Throw me into whatever category we want to call this.

If 1 animal dies and all of humanity can stop eating meat, I'm happy to do that.

Heck I'd sacrifice myself for such a value.

But it sounds like this is a ~1 time prick of an animal, who could be sedated, and after that, you don't need the animal again.

I want to be vegan because of cruelty, but not eating meat because it came from a pricked animal 1 time in history sounds like a religion.

EDIT: Someone said this, which makes me think its not vegan at all, even with my definition. (Although this would probably put pro-choice vegans in a dilemma)

>for all mammalian eukaryotic cells ie cow , chicken ,human etc require growth media that contains FBS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetal_bovine_serum this extracted from the foetus of cattle, otherwise the cells cannot survive outside of the a live mammal. it is not vegan or vegetarian in the slightest
> what "metadata" you're referring to

Metadata as in author, tags, and such, which your app allows to add outside of the actual contents.

I imagine they're also not using vintage hard drives. Its pretty common in the retro computer world to use things like CF and SD cards for storage emulation. Even a basic CF card is miles faster than a 1990's HDD. Put in a period-accurate storage device and see how bog slow it gets.
Honestly thank you! Further it's been hypothesized that they didn't do controlled burns in the sense we do it now it's literally just letting nature take it's course. Leaving it alone.
That's logical, but there are plenty of Markdown WYSIWYG editors out there, so this is not unusual. Quilljs is a famous example.
To be fair: I don't know enough about the case to judge but it plays well into OP's cards that Amazon closes his long-standing affiliate account because he allegedly had used relatives and friends to squeeze more money.

The article talks about the historical reasons that controlled burns weren't used in California by the settlers. They're talking to Native American historians because they're leveraging Native American preservation techniques. Addressing the root cause of the problem is important.
