The interest and intrigue around LK-99 made science cool. There will be all kinds of positive knock on effects of this - least of which is that we got down to the bottom of LK-99 years before it would've happened if the preprint never got published.
Don't forget the patents on CONTROLLERS VIBRATING for fucks sake. The reason the original PS3 controller didn't have vibration was because sony wanted to avoid paying the protection racket one time.

There’s certainly truth to this.

True, and it makes business sense in a rich country. But just like in parenting, this kind of experience and expectation can yield entitled personalities, which is indeed a common stereotype of Americans abroad. Or see American students' attitudes towards their university. They also approach it with the same customer attitude, and fair enough, they do have to pay hefty sums.

Journalists have always been targeted by all regimes, “authoritarian” or not. When puppet masters are questioned by journalists, their lives are materially affected.

I'm not quite sure why this seems to be so controversial, except for the light abuse of notation in my english. Saying that f: X->Y means f maps an input from domain X to output in range Y is to say that we are defining a function -- and labeling it f, since it could just as easily be labeled g and still be the same function. Defining is naming -- naming is labeling [with scope].

That really depends on what you mean by obvious impact.

Cars manufactured in the last year make up 4% or so of total cars on the road and thus ~2% of oil consumption. EV’s are just over 7% of new car sales right now if we assume an extremely optimistic 30% of all sales over the next 10 years that’s (4% per year * 10 years * 30% of sales * 50% of oil) = 6% reduction in oil use in 2033 vs no change. That’s significant but could easily be offset by increasing the total number of cars or other use etc.

I doubt 30% of all new cars sold by 2033 will be EV’s as it would require well over 30% to be sold in years 9 and 10 to offset years 1 and 2 etc. That said, somewhere between 15 and 30 years from now I expect the difference will be very obvious as the oldest ICE cars get aged out of the global fleet to be replaced with more efficient cars + hybrids + EV’s.
Annotations are great until something breaks.

Fundamentally they are an abstraction over a rats nest of code (of a specific version), library dependencies and configuration. Gods help you when something breaks, the abstraction leaks and you are presented with a glimpse of the underlying complexity that is now yours to tinker with.
You said you wanted explanation, then deride the available explanations as a Gish gallop - incorrectly, because they are used to support hypotheses rather than thrown into a debate to bog down an opponent.

According to a recent Bank of Montreal analysis, Canada's GDP per capita is likely to decrease.

>Canada’s population growth will likely slow from its current frantic pace as immigration officials work through the pandemic backlog of applications, but not by all that much.

A wheel broke and the train derailed in the tunnel before the turnout. Once it hit the turnout the derailed rail carriage got caught by the turnout, ripped apart and slammed through the door. The rail carriages in front of the derailment were all ok and could be driven out with the locomotive. Also the last 4 rail carriages did not derail some of which were marked hazardous material but were being transported empty.

The tunnel has several turnouts with doors between which allows them to send a train down the other tunnel when there is the need for maintenance or in case of an emergency. The door also seals the air which is part of the air evacuation system in case of a fire and also to allow the air to be moved in the direction of the train while in the other tunnel the airs moves int opposite direction.

I've have read comments similar to yours before, and unfortunately I could not find a source.

I do, however, remember that those comments were related to that time when digging a tunnel for a high-speed train in Istanbul uncovered important shipwrecks.

I think you’re right - the ones offering the cheapest and most convenient option will naturally be the best choice for the most amount of people.

Not to be that guy, but I do think there’s an element of privilege in shopping any other way. I’d gladly pay a bit more for the comfort of not participating in the throwaway culture we’re building, but how many people can really say that? I have time and money that a lot of people simply don’t have.

But I do think there are a lot of people in my situation and would do something similar. We might not bring down the amazons of the world, but a place for us can still exist.

Lets say you have a process that uses all available energy and energy grows exponentially at say 2% per year. This means energy doubles every 35 years and so does the usage of it. If the process is 95% efficient at using the energy for useful work, that means 5% of the energy used is waste/pollution (could be in the form of heat or something else). By definition, for every doubling of energy created and used, you have a doubling of pollution. This should be obvious. To prevent the doubling the amount of pollution generated for any given year, you must increase efficiency by the same amount (double efficiency in 35 years). It should be obvious that it's impossible to use 100% of energy available for useful work without waste. There is always waste.

That's what I mean that it's physically unavoidable to exponentially grow pollution if you exponentially grow energy use.

I would assume most of Dropbox's appeal lies in its cross-platform nature, but for me that's turned out to not add much actual value.

On the odd occasion I need something to be mobile-accessible, iCloud does the trick (and if I were to switch to Android, Google Drive would fill that niche). Once a blue moon when I need to get files to other machines on my local network, Syncthing and Snapdrop do the trick.

In this case, "the government" actually means "rich politicians who own businesses that like paying low wages."

100% agree, that’s the problem with social media and why I hate it.. you have people with 20% knowledge in the subject but with thousands of followers grifting on the topic, while the actual scientists (or subject matter experts) barely have any voice or influence, and results?

Doctors literally say "you're making it up." In those exact words. There is no misunderstanding.

My wife had an emergency department refuse to treat her because they disagreed with an unrelated diagnosis that was in her medical record. Until she admitted that she was "making it up" and didn't have it, so they could "correct" the record, they would not treat her. She ended up having to leave and go to another hospital.
>Htmx advantage is not that it sends less bytes, but that it effectively removes frontend.

Right, which you can achieve by replacing the main content div. HTMX takes it many steps further and allows you to slice the HTML up into small bits and replace only those. This adds a lot of complexity for little benefit.
Solar and Wind power is available practically everywhere. So that is directly contrary to your "this region is winner take all", which is really what the old "strike it rich with black gold" of fossil fuels was. Solar/Wind is about as win-win-win as it gets right now.

Also, there really isn't anything like a "coal reserve" anymore. Coal is not a useful material anymore outside of the coal fired plants that are still in operation. Coal is so far behind other forms of power generation cost (including even nuclear) that practically all coal fired plants are being actively planned for retirement/replacement. You cannot have an "economic plan for coal" that involves anything except planning for the jobs to go away.

At a minimum all coal plants will be replaced with natural gas turbine. Still fossil fuel but much cleaner in particulate and so much more efficient that the carbon release is reduced. With Solar/Wind falling under gas turbine in LCOE, gas turbine will become like coal in 10 years.

Solar/wind isn't responsible for the devaluation of rural communities. That happened with globalization. And economic development has historically followed the availability of cheap plentiful power, which solar/wind already represent an technological advancement in. Solar/wind are the cheapest form of power generation, and unlike coal/gas which are basically played out in terms of cost improvement, likely have another 10-20 years of cost improvement from economies of scale and technological improvement. Put it this way: if fusion became net-positive and sustained reaction tomorrow, it wouldn't matter. At the rate solar/wind are dropping, no fusion reactor would beat it economically for another 50 years.
a graduate student at Berkeley gave a presentation on exactly this topic, a few years ago. From first-hand viewing, they used maths to determine range of effect of the heat entrapment in urban enclaves, at several scales. It was rigorous enough for the serious science in the room, and was well-received. The result is basically as someone else said -- local effects are very large, but regarding the whole climate, not a driver basically.
What do you mean the issue doesn't exist?
It's night and day. The U.S. economy is very diverse and sports a large proportion of medium-sized companies of all kinds. There's a huge gap in Canada where many of our medium-sized get snapped up by American investors who either move them to the U.S. or integrate them to their existing Canadian operations, torpedoing our chances at developing new large companies in the long term.

Let them poach. This is a short sighted prospect that will drive tech wages down, which are already lower in Canada than in the US. Of course, policies like this are meant to benefit business owners, not workers.
As tech worker in Canada I'm a big fan of this as I feel there's no ceiling in which the tech industry can find itself saturated. We need to continue evolving towards a tech industry, particularly as the energy sector undergoes a major reform. Would I like to be paid more? Always. But not through putting walls up to artificially inflate the value of my role in the economy at the cost of Canada's economic future.

There's a ton of months-old accounts here with very low karma loading the comments section up with feckless cowardice in the form of anti-government, anti-immigration, unthinking garbage. Seriously, click on a bunch and see.

There's a LOT of valid criticism about Canada's economic situation. But carefully observe how every one of those comments plays on your fears and anxieties. They speak with hyperbole and aggression. They're trying to manipulate you through your instincts.
The market for water that you describe does not exist, because that's not how water rights work in the American West, where this is an issue.

> If a farmer could take their water and sell it for more money to somebody who would then treat it, transport it, and resell it to the public, the farmer would do that.

They can't do that. It's not a market issue, it's a water rights issue. The farmer is "entitled" to a quantity of water each year by virtue of owning the land they are on. If they do not spray that quantity of water onto that land, then they lose the right to get any water in future years.

> What you're hearing is a lot of complaining from people who do not understand markets

Thus, it is not markets, but water rights, that are not understood by the people that I hear complaining.
Yeah, buying multiple sizes and returning the bad fits was never something anyone really wanted discourage. Most of the ideas were around making people confident they could get a better fit without ordering multiple items or making the in store return experience better so people would use it.

> has been successfully applied to many things without drastic changes. but it's a common usage in software engineering.

give me an example sentence. let me try one: "<protobufs> have been abstracted over the years because they have been applied to many things without drastic changes". doesn't work

the only way in which "abstracted" is used in SWE is "abstracted away" or "abstracted out", which means ~the details aren't important or ~it's being handled by someone/something else for you. having written out this response i am now 100% sure it's the former in this case.

no one seems to get that what i'm making fun of here is this person reveling in the fact that they don't have to understand type theory "like our forefathers did" but then stating that fact using theory speak. it's like which is it: do you care about abstractions and abstracting things out (and thus should be fine with type theory) or are you a blue collar dev that just copy-pastes. you can't have it both ways (certainly you might try but this leads to the cognitive dissonance on display here).
In this case, don't they both win? Agriculture companies create calorie dense foods and then we need pharma to keep us from dying.
Yeah, totally. I should've specified "analytical operations", as in, updating dashboards and other non-time-critical data processing that eventually feed into decision making. That's were devs or decision makers asking for RT/NRT makes no sense.
So... who cares? Why should laypeople be expected to engage in that much analysis solely to avoid excitement? These aren't policy makers. No lives were lost. Only keystrokes were wasted... and, calling them wasted is probably too harsh. Lots of people learned what a cool thing this would be if it happened, are disappointed that this isn't it, and might even be a little more interested in physics going forward. Why are you so emotionally invested in saying "told ya so"?
Yeah, I'm seeing this with new hires as well.

Several of them don't own computers and rely entirely on smartphones for their computing needs.

It's frankly a worrying trend. Smartphones are consumer devices that do not allow the kind of automation, tinkering, scripting, and ownership that computers do.

On the flip side it means that I will be more competitive in the job market as I grow older than I was expecting.

We may wear different colored suits, but Canada and the US are both plutocracies and honestly Canada is much more severely so.
