There's a simple technology called a battery that is being produced at twh scale per year now that addresses this. On sunny days, charge the batteries from sunrise until sunset. And then people can cook, run the AC, etc. Fairly easy problem to solve. Charge during the day, cool at night. Battery prices keep on getting more and more attractive.

Solar in the US is easy. Most of the US is south of most of Europe. If people in Germany at 52.5 (Berlin) degrees latitude can economically use solar, it should be no issue whatsoever for people at 40.7 degrees latitude (New York). Not to mention those lucky people blessed with long, warm sunny winter days at 25 degrees latitude (Miami), 29.7 (Houston) or 37 degrees latitude (San Francisco). Plenty of light there all year round. Most of the US actually matches Northern Africa in terms of latitude. Marakesh for example would be at 31 degrees latitude. That means a relatively stable and longish amount of time between sunrise and sun set. About 9 hours of daylight in New York around Christmas. More for anything south of there. Texas should be more than fine. There's a reason temperatures are so toasty there in the summer. It's at the same latitude as the Sahara desert. Plenty of light in other words.

For most of the US, solar should be usable throughout the year. It being cold doesn't mean it's dark. Also, solar panels actually work better when they are cool. So cold temperatures and sunny days are a good combination. Clouds are more of an issue, of course. But they are more of a local thing and they you don't have those every day. And even they let through some light. If you have to wear sun glasses to protect your eyes when you go skiing, it's an excellent day to be generating solar power as well.
Yeah we used to use this in our older models years ago... I don't recall the details exactly, but I don't think it ever did very much.

I certainly don't think it will help at all with stability. Things like Q/K layernorm are better tricks for softmax stability when scaling: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2302.05442.pdf
Every incident has to go into the carrier's safety reporting system which is then followed up by the FAA and/or NTSB. Even stuff as simple as a flight attendant feeling fatigued after not getting enough rest goes into the SRS.

I don't think the public has access to the SRS but the FAA and NTSB do.

Is someone here who understands the nitty bitty details of AVX-512/AVX10 and could tell me what is included which current latest gen AMD processors do not support?

Because the only thing I can pick out is the 256bit AVX-512 which AFIK recent amd processors do support (including 512bit support) both on their normal cores and their new compacted code.

But I don't know much about AVX_ so I'm 100% I missed a bunch of stuff and/or limitations with current AMD code (besides it being double pumped).
Oh yea this is a lot of fun imagine a club where there’s color coded phones on the wall based on what you’re looking for and when you pick one up you are connected to someone else on the other end and you can talk and maybe meet up with them if you like what you hear.
I think we're getting away from the definition of Veblen goods in that it implies people wouldn't want a Tesla, Mustang, or iPhone as much if you cut the price in half. And that seems manifestly silly.

On the other hand, I can absolutely imagine that a lot of the people who buy supercars would be less likely to buy a Lambo, given it's downsides, if it were something any upper middle-class household could afford if they wanted to.
You said:

> If speech is not offensive it wouldn't be suppressed

My point is that's not true, and it's trivial to find counterexamples. I listed a few in my comment.
There is no guarantee that this is possible.

For example, if farming didn’t already exist, it would probably be illegal to start it, because of how turning big patches of earth into monoculture completely destroys preexisting ecosystems. There is no known effective way to mitigate this damage, efficient farming at scale requires this, and inefficient methods will require more land and likely cause more damage.

Similarly, blanketing deserts with solar panels will very much significantly damage existing fragile desert ecosystems. You can maybe avoid some of the negative aspects by carefully chosen procedures, but in general, there is no way around it.

The question is whether the specter of environmental destruction will hold us hostage, and allow other, grandfathered environmental destruction to proceed.

Ivanpah is a CSP plant; that technology is a dead end and its cost numbers have nothing to do with PV plants, which are the only kind which get built now.

With the benefit of hindsight, Ivanpah should never have been built, but at the time both CSP and PV looked competitive, and so it made sense to invest in both. Now it does not.
I agree with the parent point. I also don't think DWH is the primary usecase for your platform.

I have seen architectures where databases are siloed within departments and data has to be replicated across department physical databases in the same network or different, mostly in banks, insurances and old school industries. In this scenario, a daily batch would run that would replicate and populate the tables and kick start business processes. A platform like this would make sense. Another usecase, i can think of is reverse ETL, but there are many tools custom made for that.

As for fraud analysis, there are many vendor tools that does exactly that, asking people to visualize and implement a full blown usecase is hard.

I might be naive I don't see the USP between artie and Airbyte, hevodata, fivetran, stitch etc. and others from a distance.
Politics in the US long ago transitioned away from reasoned arguments backed with data. The polarization of parties has created a gulf too wide to scaffold an argument across. The emotional impression is the point, but it's not for you. It's for the people who already prescribe to this dogma. Reading that gets them excited and engaged. Ready to go vote for their "tell it like it is" political party.
The speed comes from running thousands of simulations in parallel on the GPU. The random number generator doesn't have to be any faster for this to be a huge speedup. It's possible to use any one you like. I did validate the one I'm using against various others and found equivalent results.

I also have the simulation implemented on the CPU as well to validate the correctness of the results.
It's good that it's happening strong & still semi-early-ish.

I'd be curious to know how or if Chrome actually manages the PR around their work.

But I don't feel like Google has the luxury of letting it's image burn like this. TURTLEDOVE is already a huge semi-sound but immensely scary change, MV3 is a disaster of high order and hasn't responded with anything but a stream of bandaids to challenges like Mozilla's far more capable Background Pages proposals. But I think the reputation damage here is vastly higher, as there's basically nothing being offered here to most users, or, if this spec goes through, ex-Web users. This effort is just an abominable horror show, and at some point, it feels like Google/Chrome have to stop being so blinders-on as to treat this as a merely technical discussion.

The last time these debates went down, where there was an incredibly contentious spec that got shipped, it basically took the Web creator Tim Berners-Lee using his w3c authority to stamp "ship it" on the spec. https://www.techdirt.com/2017/03/01/tim-berners-lee-endorses...
ADHD has only been a recognized disorder for ~40 years. Its only been accepted by the medical community for about 5 to 10 years, depending on country. Its hardly surprising that diagnosis is increasing for something that has essentially been ignored by everyone until very recently.

Keep in mind the first person diagnosed with autism died last week.
The Web will cease to be an open system, and will become a glorified fax machine and cable TV network. Those few who care will turn to more esoteric, incomplete, user-unfriendly but open systems. Eventually one of those systems will gain popularity with nerds, academics, and weirdos. They'll fill it with information and media they compile and create in their spare time, and it will interoperate in useful ways that for-profit corporate networks can't. Over time it will gain popularity and "normal" people will start using it too. Money will start to pour in, the network will fill up with garbage, and then corporations will come in and take it over and lock it down.

Rinse repeat.
Imagine if every big box store parking lot was covered with a solar panel roof? Customers walk to the store in shade and out of rain, cars aren't extremely hot in summer when customer returns, electricity for EVs right there, excess can go to grid or batteries, not disruptive to anyone or ecosystem, large sizes. Obviously someone has to pay for it which is always the tricky bit.

My assessment is that I was told my luggage would continue on to DC without me if I didn't board in an attempt to get the plane leaving as soon as possible after refueling. I didn't care enough to get back on, and learned the following day that they had actually removed my luggage before departure.

Is there a way to extrude an edge in Inkscape? I'm constantly having to create new shapes, align them with my existing shape by manually positioning the node coordinates, and then union them. I wish I could select an edge on my path and "extrude" it like I could with an edge or face in Blender.

Rooftop residential is 2x+ times as expensive as utility scale. Lazard's well regarded annual Levelized Cost of Energy survey puts the range for utility scale at $24 - $96 MWH vs $117 - $282 for residential rooftop.

That's pretty much it. All modern browsers come with CSS layout functions [1], even Internet Explorer did! Pretty much every other Web API can be implemented in Node.JS using something like JSDom [2], but the CSS layout engine is the main missing feature. And the creator of JSDom estimated it would take 3-6 months of full-time work from a talented engineer to implement something like this [3], so this might take a while.

---

Just to give you an idea of how hard this would be, Mermaid let's people use custom fonts, with fallbacks, so diagrams can look quite different depending on what font people have installed.

The current default font is Tahoma [4], which is owned by Microsoft, so Linux desktops usually render the diagrams slightly differently than on Windows/MacOS desktops.

People can also have different default font size in their browser/OS settings, and that will affect things too.

Finally, you also have things like ClearType [5], where the text is rendered differently depending on the sub-pixel arrangement of your monitor!!

I think we could get a basic version that partially works by implementing only a subset of the layout functions and hard-coding one specific font in, but even that would still be a fair bit of work.

Probably will provide significant benefits at higher latitudes. Especially where there is snow and panels are mounted 45degrees plus.

But here near the equator where view of the sky is the only thing that matters, they are a non-starter. Perhaps in solar farms where panel mounting is 4m or higher?

Wind and solar are complementary, solar during the day and wind at night.

In the short term, wind and solar provide power when they can and make up the difference with natural gas. That is much better than the current system of coal and natural gas. This extends to wind and solar providing all of the normal power. Then can have storage to cover the daily needs. There is no problem turning off wind and solar when not needed, but we will find ways to use the free power.

In the long term, we can have so much wind and solar capacity, I have seen 3 times load, to cover nearly all the time. The excess power will be needed for carbon capture and fuel production. For the rare times when renewables aren't enough, can use hydrogen or other generated fuels as backup.
Then wait until Musk's minions have removed every occurrence. They will act quickly, because Musk fires them if he finds Twitter anywhere on X's site in a week or so.

> solar doesn't produce power at night

I've always wondered, if we had a huge solar farm in a nevada or arizona desert, could we have a satellite with a mirror lens to redirect sun from above the horizon down to the panels so they can generate power throughout the night as well?
While you're not completely wrong, your estimation on replaceability of engineers in general isn't just "hey monster.com please send 5x general engineers my way" after you lose a few. Especially when it comes to senior positions, or unique aerospace roles like at SpaceX. There's a reason those salaries go sky high at times.

That aside, in many cases it takes an engineering-minded businessman to create the greatest enterprises. Not just in valuation, but in general value and appreciation in fields where one can do a lot of good but not get a lot of profit.
Especially in emergencies. Lights are turned off so passenger eyes can get used to the dim light and see the exit lights (which are not bright) better.
It’s like a hater bot just spewing out mindless hate. Funny how that works.
It costs somewhere around $300/kwh to build utility-scale storage. Say they can cycle 3000 times. We find that just the storage costs $0.10/kwh, which is in the range of generation costs themselves (probably double wholesale generation costs). So one cannot assume to be able to cheaply store power in utility-scale batteries.

In my opinion the greatest benefits for large numbers of discrete small PV installs (with battery) is in places where it's uneconomical to extend the grid.

I'll use some hard to reach parts of WA and BC and OR and ID for example. You might be able to build a nice house/cabin on a piece of rural land and find that setting the poles and running lines to bring basic 100A or 200A service to that house will cost $40,000.

For 40k you can build quite a large off grid PV system that will have a reasonable ROI on it to serve the same loads, vs. spending 40k one time on construction costs for grid and then $50 to $200 monthly electric bills recurring for a long time after that.

As far as grid tied decentralized power systems do I agree with you 100%. It is VERY COSTLY in labor and complications to do something like cover the roof of a Home Depot or similar warehouse-sized structure in grid feeding PV, as compared to doing medium-sized to massive scale ground mount PV on empty land somewhere.
> A lot of developers are idiots. There is tons of code out there doing exactly this kind of thing.

Sure, I agree a lot with this, but that doesn't mean you and me should also do idiotic things. Lets just return correct status codes and the ones who misuse it, will misuse it :)
To be clear, nothing I said has much to do with types: preconditions and postconditions are a more general notion and types are one way to approximate them in such a way that they can be automatically checked. However, because of the halting problem, there will always be correct programs that cannot be typed.

>Solar is so much more useful close to where it's consumed, like rooftops and parking lots. Utility-scale solar power projects like this are just more corporate welfare boondoggles.

What is more efficient, a utility with dedicated engineers and technicians who spend their days managing an install or clueless homeowners who can’t even be bothered to clear the leaves off their panels?

Installation and management for large scale commercial companies is _much_ cheaper. Bespoke rooftop installs require way more permit, engineer, contractor overhead. Oh year and don’t forget to upgrade your roof framing and hope your installer doesn’t ruin your waterproof membrane of your roof. Have a clay tile roof? There’s another 5k in broken roof tiles.

Transmission losses are in the noise by comparison.

And when your components go out… a small potato install can basically go pound sand. A friend of mine has been out 18 months b/c LG Chem recalled his battery and hasn’t replaced it! They remotely disabled it, so it can’t be used.

Contrast that with a utility. LG chem would probably have a dedicated field agent to manage bad batteries for a utility scale buyer.

>Deserts have fragile, intricate ecosystems. This fucks them up. We need to learn to stop fucking things up to gobble up more energy.

You know what’s worse for desert eco systems than solar installs? Climate change. Gobbling up 25% of the deserts to prevent the other 75% from becoming totally uninhabitable sounds like a bargain to me.

We need more solar as soon as possible. Messing up the desert to save the artic and permafrost is a winning bet every time.

> can you explain how generators work with multiprocess

The best way to think of a generator is as an object implementing the iteration protocol. They don't really interact with concurrency, as far as multiprocess is concerned, they're just regular objects. So the answer is that it depends on how you plan to share memory between the processes.

> is ps internal variable unique for each Thread or same?

ps is local to the generator instance.

def f():
x = 0
while True:
yield (x := x + 1)

>>> f()
<generator object f at 0x10412e500>
>>> x = f()
>>> y = f()
>>> next(x)
1
>>> next(x)
2
>>> next(y)
1

> is it safe to execute your primes() from different threads?

For this specific generator, you would run into the GIL. More generally, if you're talking about non CPU-bound operations, you need to synchronize the threads. It's worth looking into asyncio for those use cases.
There is, as others pointed out if a plane runs out of fuel there are reports, hearings, investigations. Nothing goes that wrong in modern commercial aviation, pretty much anywhere in the world, without being seriously looked in.
