Please consider a use case where an industrial user install a thermal storage like this one https://www.kyotogroup.no/technology

They may need CO2 free process heat at 400 ℉, and use a thermal storage at 800 or 1000℉.

Our heat engine can pump more heat than resistive heating (heat pump mode) during charge. During discharge, it can convert heat to electricity from 1000F to 400F, and use that electricity to power a heat pump (and produce more heat).
We can "magnify" the storage both ways.

We don't need to go to 1000F soon, there are so many applications we can decarbonize along the way. We could lower the temperature and do cooling+heating at the same time for example.
It's an either/or because once you start heading down the Tailwind/Bootstrap path, it pulls you out of the habit of using proper classes and such, and now you have fifty pages where some bit of text uses "text-xl" or whatever instead of a proper and descriptive class. You get into the habit of writing HTML with a bunch of styling directives in it, just like we did in the pre-CSS days.

This is the type of feature / partnership you build in year 5, not pre-launch.

Wouldn't it be better to focus on features and scalability needed for opening up the network to more users to build the network beyond a beta phase or adding core features to the app?
I’d argue the cost of scaling up the grid, both economic and environmental, are too great when the problem can be resolved by raising everyone’s thermostat to 76 for a couple hours a year. Peaker plants are wildly expensive to keep in service, and usually run off of coal or oil.

What was great about it? Its model made no sense tbh. Pay $50/year for an API key to a twitter like platform that nobody is using. Anybody can create an app, but you have to pay them separately. The branding made no sense, “app.net” a microblogging platform? It felt like the only people who ever signed up to app.net were ex-third party twitter developers who felt burned by twitter’s 2012 changes. Their development track seem to be just “hey this thing is popular now, let’s spend 2 years and deliver a half-assed limited implementation for it too late.”

We can tell how good these cybersecurity frameworks are by seeing how hard it is to breach the organizations certified at the highest levels such as SolarWinds [1], Equifax [2], Trend Micro [3][4], Cisco [5], and so many more.

It is so utterly ridiculous that anybody cares about these standards when literal clown shows get full marks.

The sign of a good standard is one that effectively and accurately predicts outcomes. A standard can be validated experimentally by evaluating if the certified targets conform to the stated predictions of the standard. A standard that fails to discriminate between good and bad is useless and the results of such certifications can be safely ignored.

The vast majority of cybersecurity frameworks have failed in these respects. Basically, if a standard gives Microsoft top marks, it is a lousy standard. That is not a necessary condition, but it is certainly sufficient along with anything certifying plenty of other security messes.

"symbolic equation solving" was the term that helped me refine my search. Thanks!
Note that I'm a Tailwind hater.

Tailwind and similar frameworks divorce the concept of a semantic web we as a society have been building towards for decades. It works against the idea that you mark up areas of your code with descriptive labels like "header" and then put the code describing how the header should appear in another easily-editable file, and instead encourages you to use generic style descriptors to describe how the header area of your site should appear in the HTML itself. This is how we built web sites before CSS was widely adopted and, though it was "easier" to do things like `<p color="#999999">` in HTML 3 rather than separate the code from the appearance markup, it was generally considered to be a really bad idea. But Tailwind and the like drag us back in that direction.

Well, in the case of Genshin Impact: lots and lots of money.

>Education is an end in itself not a job qualification.

But even students treat it as such. Many of the people I know went to get a degree because they believed "they had to", not because of an intrinsic desire to learn. And if all involved believe that it is about getting a qualification for some career, then that is what it will become.

>when higher education in the UK was fully-funded by the state the resulting degrees, regardless of the subject(s) studied, were far more valuable in the job market

Rarity is the actual important thing here. If a significant portion of students have some degree it will be inherently irrelevant. Education has been continually broadened, making it more and more irrelevant. In the past a university degree was an enormous signifier, now it is "expected" in the job market, even if irrelevant.

That tends to happen when there's an exclusive club, people want to peak in. It is, in no way, an indication of the quality of the platform.

That tends to happen when there's hardly any users at all. The "repugnant" or "normals" will flock in all the same, if the platform ever takes off.

That tends to happen in all pre-revenue startups. Twitter was ads-free for years.

I think anger is a sign the developer actually cares about what they are doing.

People who care tend to get very angry about what's ultimately philosophical matters.

Using your experience as a passenger to gauge how full buses usually are is about as straightforward of an example of that paradox as you could ask for. As an extreme example, imagine there are 10 bus routes, 9 of which are always empty and 1 of which is always full. If you surveyed every passenger, they'd tell you that 100% of the buses they've ever been on are full, but in reality, only 10% of the buses are.

I do agree, it's easy to abandon classes altogether. It's also a bit concerning that newer devs are starting with Tailwind. At the same time, I think one should be able to notice that certain styling is just getting repeated everywhere and abstracting it out makes sense.

What I actually like about Tailwind is not that you don't have to create classes at all, it's that you don't have to do it for things that don't need it. My old codebase was littered with hundreds of classes doing the same set of styling — padding, margins, flex-box stuff. That's the biggest thing Tailwind helps with.

These thought experiments presuppose it being able to synthesize mega-toxins from highly abundant resources with completely benign tooling and zero human supervision. If this is immediately possible in any capacity anyways, why did it take AI for us to find out?

"Prove me wrong" AI arguments need to get real. Show me the exploit in isolation, give me steps to reproduce it and maybe I'll change my tune.
This is a wonderful thread.

Which tricks in there are worth playing around with more widely?

Is the uint8_t just "no point in using something bigger" or does it likely help the compiler? Does/can the signedness matter as well as the size?

Ditto looping downwards -- is it often likely to improve things? Can it generalize to pointer/iterator ranges, or is it often worth trying to phrase them in terms of array/index accesses instead?

I guess the compiler's unrolling heuristics generally aren't as good as that blocking "mod then div" alternative to Duff's device? Obviously taking `s` out of the loop condition is part of the magic.

Not checking the 'p' character by comparison is an easy optimization to understand.

Any places to read about this sort of thing, or any tricks or guidelines that come to mind? I write a fair bit of performance-sensitive code but it's all probably 20x slower than it could be because I have no intuition for what transformations compilers will do beyond "this prob gets inlined" etc.

Seems like identity management is at the core of what Bluesky is trying to change. Twitter managing verification of accounts makes it harder to not be seen as an endorsement of some degree. With this system, Bluesky doesn’t need to verify @iphone, when Apple can just create @iphone.apple.com. It’s pretty central to their identity management and verification. Having it in year 5 is like not having it at all.
