“it’s more efficient to produce iron from hydrogen gas than to produce liquid hydrogen. So iron powder as fuel is more expensive than gaseous hydrogen but cheaper to produce and move across the oceans than liquid hydrogen.”

He's saying liquid hydrogen, but I gotta wonder if the the real story here is an attempt to deal with moving the energy in natural gas, since the liquified natural gas story is so shitty (expensive facilities, etc.) and pipelines are politically and logistically difficult.

I would not be surprised to see this turned into a "burn/process natural gas (in North America etc) to produce the iron 'fuel'. Ship the iron by train or boat & skip building pipelines and tankers and LNG facilities." Which gets us no further on the climate change front, but answers certain current European (esp German) ... political / economic ... problems.

In theory, the point of having medical students have an undergrad degree is that they will be more "well rounded". Unlike in many countries where university education is very focused, in the US, an undergraduate even studying STEM is required to take a certain number of courses like literature or history, and likewise someone studying literature or history is required to take some science courses. Of course just requiring people to take courses doesn't mean they will actually retain the knowledge after the tests, but it's a nice idea anyway.

Why “Black Mirror” is so terrifyingly good at predicting the future
Of course it's wrong. We are able to do easy work with flexible hours for high pay, while more important professions can barely scrape by.

That injustice stems from a system that we cannot meaningfully change, though. Our cages are larger and more comfortable, but people making 6-7 figures are not policymakers or influential voices.

Having realized that, are you ready to walk away from Omelas today?
lawyers and PR departments afforded by corporate farmers are most certainly not making things more transparent.

the only thing they do is obfuscate the particular human individuals exploiting the workers.
The standards are often referred to by the law and public institutions.

This means that they become de facto law, even if they do not adhere to fundamental principles of the law: transparency, and fairness.

Standard paywalls thus should be seen as a barrier for the rule of law, not just barrier for innovation.

The prices for access to standards made sense in the era, when every document had to be printed instead of downloading as PDF.
Yep, I hope some solid information about their risk assessment process comes out.

For an off-the-shelve solution there is Qubes but from what I've heard it's probably quite a pain to use unless you're comfortable debugging Linux desktop and driver problems in particular. Generally KVM/libvirt is nice because it's fast and can be set up transparently and networking can be customized in any possible way. (It might also be possible to get GPU Passthrough working with KVM but I think this only works if you have 2 GPUs)

> Which is fine. The wisdom isn't lost, its just not as widely available.

It's not fine though. Our political and economic spheres have been run by the swine for too long, and the planet's back is breaking. The second order effects of only giving the brash and thick-hided a voice in society are everywhere, causing permanent harms.

Let's start making space for the wise and sensitive types, and make pearls abundant.
The spec as written on that page is confusing on that point, but the incrementing-counter-within-the-same-millisecond-behavior only happens if you explicitly specify a "monotonicFactory", https://github.com/ulid/javascript#monotonic-ulids. The default behavior (just using the ulid() function) doesn't do that, it generates a completely random value regardless of the millisecond value.
Thanks, just today I decided that the current status of Meld (https://meldmerge.org/) was untenable for me.

It used to be a fast program, with a reasonable interface.

For a long time now its interface has been "simplifed" following GNOME 3's User Interface Guidelines, and everything ended up being hidden inside a hamburger menu.

But what definitely made it untenable was not the UX, but its tendency to crash and being really slow under the slightest load.

I was considering contributing to the project, but honestly a better engineered alternative would be welcome.

Thanks for the info (and thanks Kai Willadsen for Meld).

You can also say that the borrow checker works like a helpful editor, double checking your work, so that you can focus on the important details of performance issues, safety issues, and such, without needing to waste brain power on the low-level details.
In the sense of consumers worrying about their goods creating pollution, yes thats a common concern. Many consumers choose to evaluate goods based on their environmental impact.

But animal meat is different from most consumer goods in the sense that it’s alive and conscious. There isn’t much comparison to other goods there.
Windows has been indexing files for over 20 years.

Back then I would turn it off as I didn't find the search function that usable, and more than once I've had a "clean and build" process fail because some file was open and being indexed, and since Windows locks files on read, the build could not delete the file and just aborted. So, I turned it off.

By doing this, there's certainty that a lot of what's written will work just fine on RHEL. It's a huge Python library with the express purpose of abstracting away annoying OS quirks

CentOS Stream <-> RHEL is basically point releases. You're generally well past this stage by using Ansible.

At most you want to care about the OS family, treating the derivatives as part -- Debian, Red Hat, etc. Focusing mostly on binary/config file path quirks

There may be certain traits about RHEL users that will bring some issues

eg: more likely actually using SELinux, have forgotten to tend to their subscriptions, or are aiming for more strict compliance
> What about the old nimble 6'-bed Ford Rangers, Chevy S-10s, Toyota Pickups? Gone, replaced with monstrous lifted 4'-bed wannabe minivans.

those vehicles had horrendous safety records, and modern trucks are larger so as to allow for crumple zones. plastic shells, Styrofoam, and other improved materials allow them to be much larger but without being excessively heavier.

agree with your 4' bed and minivan comments, tho

> Why don't we have more specialized vehicles catering to small, passionate niches?

because large scale manufacturing, safety, liability, and hell just the plain ole logistics of getting stuff places means it's not cost effective. One-offs like the Rally Fighter go for 75k-100k and won't have support, warranty, or the build quality of brands like Ford or Toyota.

You certainly "can use a old phone as a webcam" and it will be "better quality". That's because it's a device designed to view commercial media, text, etc from your hand while mobile, connected to a network 24/7.

As an analogy, you have a 40 year old Ferrari in pristine condition that really doesn't have much work value, but still a fast classic car. also you daily drive a 5 year old cheap truck. if your daily breaks down, would you replace it with your Ferrari which is certainly "faster" and better quality?

I'm not sure you've ever been around industrial scale mono-cropping agriculture. The amount of pesticides, fertilizers, and herbicides is astronomical.

Knowing full well that you enjoy the popped corn enough to develop such a method. The one thing that took my basically verbatim instructions to the next level, was to add some “Butter Salt” in with the oil so the kernels are coated as they pop. It’ll give it that movie theatre yellow colour. It’s potent so not too much.

Also I usually toss in 3 kernels to the oil. When they pop you add the 1/3 cup as the oil is preheated and ready to get to work.

My point is that you can't get anyone to give a shit about doing work for which they're not only not rewarded, but actively punished. Expecting people to actively hurt their careers for the sake of shipping good product is not a reasonable expectation.

You need some mechanism to fix those incentives.
>for humans, everything (everthing) is within the context of evolutionary biology!

Sure but if some alien species were observing us, some of our actions would look downright odd. Evolutionary biology doesn't necessarily hold the same reference frame for other species, even on earth. Octopi are weird to us. Not so much to other Octopi.

>Yes - because LLM's are trained on 2020 Reddit.

I wasn't making any comment on why this was the case. Simply that it was. There'll be failure models LLMs adopt from training data, but there's also bound to be failure modes LLMs adopt from the training scheme itself.
This kind of noodley bundling opt-out is also extremely dangerous from a security perspective. I expect there are a lot of Next.js apps leaking code and possibly secrets that should only be available on the server.
Posner and Weyl show in Radical Markets that land cannot be put to optimal use without perpetual auctions where buyers compete to pay the most tax. It’s essentially Georgism. Exploitation of the commercial real estate arises from strong private property rights that are useful in themselves but have clear (and for working class San Franciscans expensive) externalities.
It doesn't have anything to do with the specs of map().

It's part of the core semantics of the language:

function f() {
}

is equivalent to

function f(a, b ,c) {
}

because under the hood the latter is simply

function f() {
let a = arguments[0]
let b = arguments[1]
let c = arguments[2]
}

I think you're right about farmers' ownership and access to firearms, but I don't think it's that much greater than older men generally.

30% of US adults own a gun and another 11% live with someone who does.

39% of all men own a gun. 46% of all adults in rural areas own guns. 48% of white men own a gun.

Sure, those numbers drop a lot in the cities and heavily Democrat voting areas, but it's pretty easy to get a gun in those places, legally or not.

More than ownership or access, I think this is a mindset issue -- same as why rural areas have high rates of ownership and access to firearms, but don't experience the violent crime rates found in cities. It's not the guns, it's who has the guns.

> In fact the pattern described in the article is a common pattern in Rust and I make use of it all the time; the library for making use of it is `slotmap`.

Slotmap uses unsafe everywhere, it's a memory usage pattern not supported by the borrow checker. It's basically hand-implementing use-after-free and double-free checks, which is what the borrow checker is supposed to do. Is that really a common pattern in Rust?
Doeas a "western diet" not include (lactoferrin containing) milk?
I'd say it mostly applies to manual optimization, when we're restructuring our program.

If the situation calls for a B-tree, the borrow checker loves that. If the situation calls for some sort of intrusive or self-referential data structure (like in https://lwn.net/Articles/907876/), then you might have to retreat to a different data structure which could incur more bounds checking, hasher costs, or expansion costs.

It's probably not worth worrying about most the time, unless you're in a very performance-sensitive situation.
I take a trip to the bulk-barn often enough to get “Butter Salt” it’s powdered and yellow. I suspect it’s what goes into the packages for the movie theatre.

That’s 100 % subjective. There’s not a single reason why sliding your finger on a mechanical movable surface should behave differently than sliding it on a touch sensitive surface. You’re used to it behaving differently and that’s fine, but I prefer to have the same behavior for both and neither of us is right or wrong.

It helps avoiding number of arguments problems, though. Of course it doesn't change the core semantics of JS.
Some of those are, "do it because you love it" jobs - teachers, counselors, nurses.

Others are, "do it because you have no other options" jobs. Low-level construction and farming falls into that. Keep in mind that, historically speaking, large-scale farming has been done by the lowest rung of society. Kids fleeing the farms to the city in search of wealth and opportunity is a tale as old as civilization.

It feels wrong because it is wrong on some level - but the flip side, good wages for these workers makes food less affordable for people, causing another kind of suffering. However, the solution to the human suffering component of these jobs (automation) also destroys all competition except the top rungs of the industry.

If this were an easy problem to solve, humans wouldn't have so many different philosophies on dealing with this.
