> Carbon emissions per capita is going down in developed countries. It's going up in developing countries.

But it's not going to go down far enough in developed countries and it is going up very rapidly in developing countries, the result of that is predictable, and in the meantime we are emitting a large multiple of the per-capita greenhouse gases compared to everybody else, who simply want to have theirs too.

We do need to 'cut back' to a sustainable level or we will be cut back. The amount of carbon in the atmosphere is already too high, it won't come down unless we cut back, as a species.

> If we built more nuclear, solar, and wind power, and invested more in carbon capture and storage, we could sustain a much higher level of consumption than we currently are, while emitting less carbon.

That can not be stated with such a degree of confidence, and smacks a bit of people saying that driving electric cars is good for the environment. It isn't, it's just slightly better than driving an ICE.

> 8GB of RAM is simply insufficient for anything above entry-level.

I don't disagree, but also I think the A580 mentioned, at it's price point of 150-200 dollars is firmly entry-level. The low-end market dedicated GPU market is basically gone with integrated GPU being good enough nowadays.
“ By 2021, though, revenue growth slowed and the stock plunged. The company has shed at least $100 billion in market value since then.”

Guess I should have shorted it or something. 100b additional valuation? In no world is that justified for a company whose main technology product has no moat beyond a UI that’s slightly better than Amazon Chime. At this point video conferencing software is almost a fungible commodity.
I've seen people saying this on Twitter and elsewhere, where are we back from?
I have the same issue. They're all modules, but the ones at the tip of the directory tree (right at the end of your env/region/stack) are called root modules. Which makes no sense because the term "root" always implies that they are at the beginning, not the tippy-toe end. So I call mine "stacks". But as another answer suggested, "states" is also fine. Even though the actual state isn't inside that directory, it's probably in an object store.

At the end of the day I don't care what other people call them.

I'm at the $10/mo level, and am totally happy to keep paying. I rely on search throughout the day for my job, and for my personal interests. $10/mo for an ad-free tunable search that provides good results is a completely worth it. And, I'm more than happy to vote with my money to support the web that I want to exist.

Otoh (for contrast) I run adblock and sponsorblock on youtube, and if they start blocking traffic from people like me I'm going to cut back my YT viewership significantly (and maybe try harder to look for stuff on nebula instead, which I never browse). While I do get some educational value from YT, it's limited, and I guess I just fundamentally object to the ad-first business model.

Wikipedia does not require that references be free to access. Most books, journals and physical newspapers fall into this category. So editors are perfectly entitled to reference paywalled articles. The fact that you can access some of these through Archive.today is really just a nice bonus. I am a bit concerned about the possibility that the service might just vanish someday, but I don't think that's a reason not to use it.
> the belief that the amount of work is fixed.

You would have to define work for this to be meaningful. Generally, demand for "work" is unlimited if the price is zero, but demand falls to zero as price increases. Humans are willing to work for at least what buys them "bare necessities", food and maybe shelter (in a madmax-style world.)

In these discussions, it is suspected that AI will "underbid" larger groups of workers than in previous waves of automation.
VRAM runs at high frequencies, delivers insane throughput, but the latency is not great. GPUs don’t need low memory latency. They have very high degree of parallelism. GPU cores switch to other threads instead of waiting for data from memory.

Here’s an interesting system with AMD Zen2 CPU and GDDR6 memory, salvaged from XBox: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/4800s-xbox-chip-shows-us-w... As you see, high latency of GDDR6 memory ruins the performance of CPU-running code.
Both commenters to my comment used the word "simply". I don't think this is simple at all.

How is it simple for a company who wants support from a vendor to "simply" lose that support even though the license of the code was specifically designed to ensure the very thing.

In the last 10y, train service quality in Italy has improved quite a lot; Frecciarossa and Italo are great services. That’s when it works.

What is really terrible about trains in Italy is disruption handling. You won’t know that your train is late until it’s very late already. Sometimes you’ll be sold tickets for trains that have been canceled already. Getting money back or trips replaced is a nightmare.

From a UX point of view it seems we got the happy path working right, but anything else is absolutely bonkers.

AI will replace humans. At what rate and when is the only question. The idea we don't want that is only pitched by control hungry authoritarians who need subjects to define their existence by.
I'm old enough to remember how it worked for the Internet. It was treated as a curiosity for nerds for a long while. The whole time I thought it was completely underrated and would change everything - thats why I decided to get into tech.

Then there was a short, sharp "it's going to change everything" hype cycle that lasted no more than a few years followed by a trough of disillusionment that coincided with the recession that was around 2003 or so.

I thought almost all parts of the cycle were exaggerated from the part where it was a curiosity for nerds to the "pets.com craze" where "the high street would disappear completely".

With LLMs it's very similar but rather than a meaningful shift in technological development underpinning it it's something more like a parlor trick with a few practical applications.
Saying this as an Italian, we never had so much choice and fast, reliable trains.
> I want to go to visit my friend Bob who lives 10 miles away but the rain is pouring down. What do I do in a carless world?

There are more organizational structures than "large, profit-maximizing corporation" and "municipal government".

In support of my argument, I present: co-op and not-for-profit.

More broadly, since I wrote more than one sentence, my point was that the dominant factor in bringing down prices and bringing up reliability of service is having multiple viable options available.

I never made a claim that there are no other differences attributable to organizational structure, though I do see one might misinterpret in that way.

Not necessarily premiums. The manufacturers make their money back just by taking a percentage of all the (digital) sales.
That's why even the Steam Deck can be sold so cheap, without a premium on games. They can make up the difference with just more sales because you now have a device you'll use more.
It's not like they don't build them, it's just that it takes a long time. I know about the French plans, an order for 115 trains takes ~18 years (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNCF_TGV_M).

And if you check the requirements, it might be worth it to take long, for example: "the new trains be at least 20% less expensive to purchase than their predecessors while possessing lower operating costs as well."
Can focusing on class instead of race solve our country’s equity issues?
Also non-Italian here. In my experience of a few years ago local trains in Italy are quite cheap, certainly much cheaper than the UK.

If rain were a major impediment to functioning Ireland and NL should be abandoned. But it isn't. Rain is a minor nuisance. As for your friendships: in the past people would usually be good friends with people living close to them because they lacked transport.

The problem is that many tourists will still arrive and depart by air.

Whilst there are some new cross continent routes coming online, overnight rail routes have been in decline since the 1990s.

It takes quite a bit of persistence to make this work especially if travelling with a young family. For example travelling from London to Rome (although surprisingly can be done in a day) takes 16 hrs and involves 3 changes including slogging across Paris.

"and stores should be required to post disclaimers when the product doesn't pass muster."

What about this is restrictive of free speech? If anything, YOU want to restrict the speech of the store to not allow them to say things they sell might be nonsense.

I think for medical things, oversight and general blurbs are fine. Its also fine if the store in question wants to post a blurb where they disagree with the "vetted" version. But this tramples on nobodies free speech, only on your personal sensibilities.
Not enough bandwidth.

1. Younglings will gain by reading Maddog's article because it contains a lot of insight that was not previously available online.

2. Maddog didMiss a major point (which I'm certain he is aware): THE ENTIRE COMPUTER INDUSTRY WAS PUSHED TO ADOPT UNIX/POSIX APIS BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AS PART OF ITS EFFORTS TO PROTECT ITS SOFTWARE INVESTMENTS FROM HARDWARE VENDOR LOCK-IN. Even tho POSIX could be added to any platform, it was really crummy on some highly structured systems like VMS, leading all major hardware manufacturers to begin supporting UNIX-variants. POSIX was so "successful" the industry came together (with CDE, X/Open, etc.) to attempt to then further expand the functionality of such applications to be more competitive with what WindowsNT-based apps could offer. Heck, WindowsNT, which also had to awkwardly adopt POSIX APIs (along side Microsoft's Xenix UNIX-variant), even adopted one or two of the optional X/Open APIs.

3. WHY IS IBM INVOLVED IN LINUX? IBM wasn't (really) in the dot-com boom that made Linux what it is, but IBM was deeply affected by the dot-com bust like all other tech companies. One of the first things IBM did to survive was reduce costs by firing more than one hundred thousand highly paid engineers and shipping their jobs to India, putting them to work replacing legacy mainframe systems and setting up cheap websites in LAMP. IBM poured resources into LAMP to support that staff.

4. WHY DID IBM BUY REDHAT? As enterprise systems began to rely heavily on free software, Ginny Rometty the former CEO of IBM and, unbelievably, a one time System Administrator, bought REDHAT to "corner the market" for providing services to support free software within enterprises.

5. WHY IS IBM REDHAT GOING SIDEWAYS? Because IBM isn't going to ever be able to corner the market for free software support by locking its customers into REDHAT. Those customers will continue on with their current REDHAT distributions for a while and a new generation of workers will migrate them to distro-agnostic job control systems like Kata Containers (on AWS, Azure or on-prem Debian, etc.) even as the customer application providers release updates pre-packaged as containers that specify alternate Linux distributions (not CentOS/Fedora/RHEL) in their image/pod spec files. Note that while IBM REHAT may go sideways, IBM will still be able to provide free software support for non-REDHAT initiatives and will kill (or maybe spin) off REDHAT as that becomes more apparent.

Terraform is supposed to let you write modular, reusable code. But because it's a limited DSL that lacks many "proper language" features (and occasionally breaks the rule of least-suprise). There are several major impediments to fully data-driven terraform. These ultimately result in copy/paste code, or tools like terragrunt which essentially wrap terraform and perform the copy/pasta behind your back by generating that code for you.

Some minor examples:

- calling a module multiple times using `for_each` to iterate over data works, except if the module contains a "provider" block

- if you are deploying two sets of resources by iterating over data, terraform can detect dependency cycles where there are not any
No, you're missing the point.

The Linux Kernel is the big GPL v2 fish. It's not a Red Hat licensing to Red Hat situation.
Maybe this works in Switzerland, where delays are rare. But in Germany, where delays are frequently more than one hour, EU law requires the train company to pay back a part of the price because of the delay. But if you cannot show when you would have arrived with no delays, because you used such an app, it does make such an app unattractive.
No, it was priced like a niche product for media people.
This reminds me of one of my many complaints about Microsoft software.

Windows 95, 98 and XP included hyperterminal. In theory hyperterminal could send and receive files over a serial port. On a few occasions I came across a machine with a broken floppy drive or something and tried to use a null modem cable.

Hyperterminal would give up after a few hundred kilobytes, because it was programmed to do that. You had to find and transfer a less stupid piece of software then use that instead.
> with basically one accepted dialect

Oh, I'm not sure what this "one accepted dialect" is. For example, Scottish English is widely accepted in Scotland; it's a true dialect, not just an accent.

When I was a kid (I was raised speaking RP) I couldn't understand a geordie accent at all. I lived and went to school for some years in Liverpool; I could understand a scouse accent, usually, but I certainly couldn't speak like that. And sometimes scousers would put it on strong, so that I couldn't understand a word.

Nowadays all the accents have become more restrained; geordie, in particular, has become much softer, and is nowadays quite acceptable for e.g. TV and radio presenters. I never hear a really thick scouse accent.
Let's use the word evidence and not proof for each part of the puzzle
It's a split meme that refers to the emotional rollercoaster of a prolonged uncertain situation whenever news come in.

Its two parts are "It's so over" when there's bad news and "We're so back" when there's good news.

This will be the case until trains are cheaper than airfare. AMS to FCO is around $100 by air. The train from Frankfurt to Basel alone is that price and about a quarter of the journey.
For trips of that distance train will never make sense, flying is too much faster. Trains work great for shorter trips and Europe would be served well to focus on those trips. (In particular Europe has a problem with trips that should be in train range but because they cross a border they don't work well)

There is one exception, trains as a land cruise can go that far, but riding the train is the point, not where you are going.
It is kinda funny once you get used to it. When there is bad news they say “it’s so over” and good news “we’re so back”. The emotional rollercoaster on LK-99 is pretty intense and these phrases capture that for people. I get it at this point.

> by criticizing pollution from 250 years ago by countries that no longer exist

I was writing about US and Europe.

> where pollution is happening now

The real culprit of the pollution is the system we live, financial, politicial, imperial. It's all EU & USA's work. How the world looks is our work. Ours are the financial levers which drive everything up, exponentially.

We can conveniently ignore that we've offshored our manufacturing to other countries. We can ignore that EU & USA paid for destruction of forests all over the world for their consumption, and poisoned our oceans with their emissions, and filled the air with CO2 and methane and N2O, sources of warming that stay there for hundreds of years, "paying" for that with their make-believe printed paper money.

But than we should at least look at per person emissions.

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/co-emissions-per-capita

You see, China still has lower emissions per capita than US, Australia, Canada there. Almost half. Same as half countries from Europe.

But we'd like to ignore that too.

What does it tell us? That we, by blaming China, want to continue consuming at the expense of everybody else, don't change anything on our part, and instead shift the focus to some third world country. Maybe China, or maybe few of those countries we've destroyed with our military/industrial complex? Just look how many people are being born there, scary, maybe war would improve the economy?

It sure seems so.

We should lower our consumption significantly instead, to enable other, less fortunate regions to develop and consume more. We're the ones who overconsume. Not some third world countries. It's just the excuse our politicans and corporations are spreading.
