> like COVID would last forever

COVID will be forever with us from now on just like the flu has been since forever and I haven't heard of a currently realistic/feasible way to snuff it out. It will be just one of those infectious diseases everyone gets the yearly shots for.

That the lockdown situation wouldn't last forever however was clear to anyone who hadn't gotten high off the farts of <insert any conspiracy theorist nut's name here>.

In the end society mirrored the body's immune system with their reaction to new viral threats:

- active defense mode: fever (lockdown) and try to sweat most of it out (first vaccines for broad herd immunity), followed by

- continual defense mode: producing and tuning antibodies to ever new mutations to the original viral aggressor (releasing lockdowns step-by-step, yearly boosters, learning to live with the chance of catching another of the myriad of diseases out there).
I applied to 4 positions, got invited to an interview for 1 of those, and got that job. Might have been lucky.

I'm losing all of my unvested RSUs but I expected that the new job won't be able to match that. I do think that you have to reduce your TC expectation in this market.
Why 50 miles this is actually something I've seen quite a bit. Depending on specifics 50 miles could be 2 hours. I don't understand why it isn't defined in terms of average commute time.
No, I was already at home. That’s where I live. You have it backwards. Going to the office is the inconvenience here.
It might actually be "working" though. Texas generally has quite cheap electricity, and is has a TON of renewable generation and investment. A spike here in there in pricing isn't evidence to me that it's not generally producing the desired outcomes.
Texas operates its own independent electrical grid (presumably to avoid federal energy regulations, though I'm not sure)[1], whereas the rest of America operates roughly on two interstate grid regions. I would agree that it's ignorant to claim Texas is doing nothing against climate change though.

While the specific choice of the word "federal' might be incorrect, I think it is likely you know what the poster means. It seems as though you are attempting to discredit the poster using an insult, rather than facts. This is not only lazy but degrades the quality of the conversation for everyone else.

"The Texas Interconnection is maintained as a separate grid for political, rather than technical reasons, but can also draw some power from other grids using DC ties. By not crossing state lines, the synchronous power grid is in most respects not subject to federal (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) regulation."

Its hard to parse.. I think Biden planned to add less than 4 GW/year on average from 2021 - 2030 to get to 30 GW of offshore added. The 27 GW added per year being required from 2035 means a giant climb from 2031 to 2035.
There's Open Source SMM as well (e.g. https://review.coreboot.org/plugins/gitiles/coreboot/+/HEAD/...) and it's still a pain.

"There's services outside the kernel's control that may or may not do what the kernel/userland/user expect because they can be independently updated, and, oh by the way, they're really powerful" is simply a pain to deal with.

There are no massive network effects here. If this is a bad move for Zoom, start a teleconferencing company that works all-remote. Delete "news." From the domain name in your URL bar and apply.
Google’s search monopoly is the easiest to escape: the moment I decide Bing or chatGPT are better I can switch with ease. And chatGPT is already replacing many Google searches.

So, it will take care of itself, and I think there are many other competition issues that need government intervention.
Most EVs automatically charge at night when the electric demand is at its lowest.
If you live in Austin, there’s a $4.17/mo charge you can add to your bill for unlimited charging at Austin Energy-owned Level 2 chargers. They’re installed all over the city. Many people commenting here don’t live in Texas and are unaware of initiatives like this.

Not nice journals, though. At least not in my experience but that’s probably very field-dependent. It’s not uncommon to get a summary rejection letter for lack of novelty and that is one aspect they stress when they ask us to review articles.

Because no one has the money for that any more. Almost all of our problems, in the end, boil down to decades of wage stagnation correlated with cost-of-living explosion.

Frequent cleanings are nice though. As an avid tea drinker it's nice to have white teeth again once or twice a year. The insurance covers most of the cost, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
I go back and forth on this, and feel similarly about self checkout. Is it better to streamline the process and lean on the technology, where staff can watch their jobs slip away, or is it better to chose the human where possible?

I like a later analysis of the Butlerian Jihad from Leto II of Dune (https://dune.fandom.com/wiki/Butlerian_Jihad) that says

> "I point out to you […] a lesson learned from past over-machined societies which you appear not to have learned. The devices themselves condition the users to employ each other the way they employ machines."

The more we use machines for these “easily handled” use cases, the more we tend to expect machine interfaces for more interactions, and at some levels, I think that’s dangerous.
this is exactly the reason why I started this project. every singe line of code is business logic if you write parts of your backend directly within the database. plus zero latency and no extra servers. I want to make this approach more accessible with this project.
Yeah, and MSBuild is also the name of the event they had earlier this year when they announced a ton of AI crap for Windows, Office and all that, right?

Zoom is reasonably light and uses hardware acceleration on anything modern (e.g. my 2015 MBP).
China is having quite a few problems on their hands though like the implosion of their real estate market that is tied to nearly everything else due its size. Their exports are down from companies decoupling somewhat with “China + 1”.

In the long term, they have a bit of a population problem as their demographic dividend ends and their birth rate remains low.

There is actually. North America has 2 or 3 large interconnects that are basically large power grids. Two places are separate: Texas and Quebec. While Quebec has a decent amount of connections to the rest of the continent and is generally well managed, Texas has one inadequate connection. Hence why it goes down at the hint of bad weather
I spent a lot of my graduate years in CS implementing the details of papers only to learn that, time and time again, the paper failed to mention all the short comings and fail cases of the techniques. There are great exceptions to this.

Due to the pressure of "publish or die" there is very little honesty in research. Fortunately there are some who are transparent with their work. But for the most part, science is drowning in a sea of research that lacks transparency and replication short falls.
Flat is pretty easy to change.

There's a simple trick they used with making canals for barges back in the day. You dig a 3foot hole and line the sides with a 3foot wall and you get a 6foot deep canal.

I suspect the bigger issue with the parent's comment is that just because you know Texas has surge pricing doesn't mean that the surge will be high/long enough to cover the opportunity cost of energy storage. I bet spending say 1 billion on a new oil rig will pay back more money than 1 billion on a pumped storage.

The old guy in the video is Ted Nelson, the man who coined the term hypertext, made significant contributions to computer science, inspired two generations of researchers and continues to inspire as his works are being rediscovered.

There have been "big programs" but when the web came, fundamental hypertext research and development on other systems came to a grinding halt. Ted Nelson, and many other researchers, predicted many of the problems that we now face with the Web, notably broken links, copyright and payment as well as usability/user interface issues.

I don't know what an average user is, but what a user typically does or wants to do with a computer is somewhat (pre)determined by its design. Computer systems have, for better or worse, strong influence on what we consider as practical, what we think we need and even what we consider as possible. (Programming languages have a similar effect).

One of the key points of Ted Nelson's research is that much of the writing process is re-arranging, or recombining, individual pieces (text, images, ...) into a bigger whole. In some sense, hypertext provides support for fine-grained modularized writing. It provides mechanisms and structures for combination and recombination. But this requires a "common" hypertext structure that can be easily and conveniently viewed, manipulated and "shared" between applications. Because this form of editing is so fundamental, it should be part of an operating system and an easily accessible "affordance".

The Web is not designed for fine-grained editing and rearranging/recombining content and has started as a compromise to get work done at CERN. For example, following a link is very easy and almost instantaneous, but creating a link is a whole different story, let alone making a collection of related web pages tied to specific inquiries, or, even making a shorter version of a page with some details left out or augmented. Hypertext goes far deeper than this.

Although a bit dated, I recommend reading Ted Nelson's seminal ACM publication in which he touches many issues concerning writing, how we can manage different versions and combinations of a text body (or a series of documents), what the problems are and how they can be technically addressed.

This is something I have in place in my home right now. My electric car for instance is charging itself at the hours with the lowest prices. If I want I can hook up my water boiler, my A/C etc to the same system. Pretty wild that this isn't already common in the U.S.
Seemed great when I first tried it, but I ran into inconveniences I wasn't willing to put up with (can't remember exactly what they were, but I think all involved pulling from registries).

Colima on the other hand, is install-and-forget (so much so that I had to look up what it was called again). It uses Lima, which means you can do more with it it if you want.
I think the “do your own research” label conflates two categories: people who are shopping for a comforting answer, and people who want to be informed and make conscious decisions. I don’t have to be a dental expert to know that something isn’t adding up and to seek a second opinion.
On the other hand, recessions and even depressions are possible. Just don’t invest in Chinese real estate (not that you can without residency), and it won’t affect you.
I used to be told I had cavities all the time when I was younger, despite religious brushing. Since moving elsewhere, no cavities ever. I did have one dentist who insisted on redoing almost all of these fillings (~8-10 over a few visits). I now rarely stick with the same dentist for long, oftentimes it’s clear they have some upsell. One recently tried to convince me I’m grinding my teeth At night. Having had multiple sleep studies done that have not noted this, and no other dentists corroborating this opinion, it’s clear it’s just a way to sell their fancy laser-fit mouth guards.
Yeah, I saw some people posting screenshots of 10.2 and was thinking maybe it was just exaggeration for clicks, but 10.4 is horrifying. Customer Content as defined in 10.1:

Well. It is hard to tell from the perspective of a person who is a consistent contrarian what exactly the consensus / mainstream viewpoint is, or how much it is perceived to have cracks in it. You would have to survey people who aren't writing from a point of extreme skepticism to get a better sense of it.

I don't want to attack you personally but I think your post illustrates an common error in thinking that caused gaming to stagnate for the past decade. I can just hear the army of MBAs making spreadsheets and checklist reflecting exactly this "paint by the numbers" style of thinking. This in turn means that the next ten AAA titles starting production are going to check all these boxes and then ... will still fail. In reality there is no formular for making a hit game. You need people who care and know what they are doing and let them do what they love.

I am excited to see an article using AP style. Maybe it's because it's from 1997, back when there were copy editors.
How many "few" cases are needed to no longer be "hyperbolic".
It's probably very positive, actually. Provided you don't do something stupid like make them out of loose tires, structures in the ocean form an anchor around which ecosystems develop which wouldn't exist otherwise. Not to mention the effects on the ocean of rising temperatures, CO2 and deoxygenated dead zones are awful.

After a year in full remote I noticed counter intuitive effects. I'm still pro WFH (for energy, time, social reasons). But I had moments where anxiety shot up due to being alone with my stuff. So I can understand. And it's weird cause I don't like most of the other employees (nothing bad, just never clicked) but there's a little thing about sharing a space to contribute to a common corporation.

It also depends on the crowd. On old jobs (public services) I felt there was more warmth (a lot more problems but still) whereas as a dev the spirit is a lot more dull and nerdy. I don't miss that.
Logically you end up using remote tools and you might as well connect to those from your desk at home.

There’s different levels of control. I think control means affect how I communicate.

I can’t communicate anything I want as chrome blocks certain apps from installing. And gmail blocks some communication. And search filters results from what I want to find. Etc etc.

So yes, google controls what I’m able to say.
Of course precooling is less efficient. But if there are large swings in price that can more than make up for it. And if daytime solar is replacing evening peak natural gas the CO2 emissions are reduced also.

OK, so this is a case of bad measurement and comparison.

If you bothered to look at the llama.cpp output, you would see this line:
llama_model_load_internal: offloaded 32/35 layers to GPU

The "-ngl 32" means that only 32 out of 35 layers are being run on the GPU, and this results in a huge slow down as the GPU syncs with the CPU, and then computes the last 3 layers on the CPU.

On my XTX 7900, I get a 55% speed up on llama.cpp (to 132.61 tok/sec) when running all layers on the GPU, rather than only 32 as in your measurements.
Since the food vendors are buying for a whole week or months worth of them selling only that, they get a bulk discount and have a personal relationship with their supplier, which is to say, fewer middlemen.

If the best food in your life was $3 for a whole meal and available fresh right outside your door step, sure, you could go to the store, buy ingredients, prepare them, cook them, eat them, and then clean up. But at that kind of price point and accessibility, you can see how it would be considered a luxury to be able to do that vs buying street food.

If you've never been so depressed that cleaning the rice cooker bowl is too much work, count yourself lucky.

I go for a cleaning at least twice a year even though I brush thoroughly. The dentist will always be able of clear out plaque you can’t. That said, there might not be much reason to listen to them beyond that.
