I care about as much as I care about stars being named after someone who paid a hundred bucks.
a Carrington event would take roughly 2 to 3 years to get power back on assuming best case scenario.

What do you think happens when there's no electric freezers for food storage, shipment, etc. No credit or debit cards. all digital money will basically be erased or locked on a hard drive that can't be accessed until the grid goes back up.

All factories cease production, I don't think diabetics stand a chance, and many others with debilitating diseases.

Hospitals will be working without electricity, without patient records, without power saws to saw through bone more efficiently, without lights except candles, without most medicines, and without a supply chain.

Essentially what a doctor can fit in a bag and carry and has zero electric components will still be useable. So scalpels, and other surgical tools, tongue depressor, blood pressure cuff, stethoscope, etc. People who wear glasses better hope they don't need a new prescription or break their glasses as there will be no solution.

To me the scariest fact is that every frozen and refrigerated food item in the world will spoil within 3 days. The only food remaining will be things like cereal, wheat, rice, canned goods etc, of course competition to get the last of the food will make the fight over toilet paper seem like the great emu was vs WW2.

Military arsenals requiring electronic targeting may go down too, all stocks basically go to zero, instability in markets and govts will be global.

Charismatic leaders might become war lords and take over large territories that were big, strong nations before the event.

If you had no warning of the event, you wouldn't even know for a week or two what happened. you can't look it up on the Internet. there's no tv or radio for you to get updates on the situation or warnings/alarms.

I think I heard estimates that said about 2.4 billion out of 8b, will be all that remain after 3 years. In other words 2/3rds of mankind will be gone.

In the middle ages people relied on goods from nearby farmers markets or grew it themselves. There wasn't a global supply chain, so life would carry on as normal. We'd literally be sent back to the middle ages..

Following more or less directly from this:

- If you walk backwards from where the non-deterministic Turing machine halted, the list of taken state machine transitions is polynomial in length (naturally, as the machine stopped in polynomial time).

- Walking that polynomial length list of actually-taken edges forward through the Turing machine constitutes a polynomial time verification of the solution.

This is the essence of the equivalence between being able to solve problems in NP in polynomial time on a (hypothetical) non-deterministic Turing machine and being able to deterministically verify a solution to those problems in polynomial time.
I've just taken a look at the book as well – peeking at the index: colonialism, p49, pp164-76. I trust you; is it really not within those pages? I'm disappointed, too.

That being said, you're right –– this has gotten into a bit of a side track, and I'm not about to re-scour through the book to see precisely what argument she's making, and the level of generality she stated it, either! (My summer reading list is full.)

I wonder if Eugenia's comments should actually be a historical argument – that way, multiple explanations can co-exist on different levels, rather than trying to find the most parsimonous theory and excluding the rest. But I'm not about to find out, and, even then, I figure a good historical explanation does need at least a dissertation's worth of work and evidence :)
You cannot magically put electricity directly into the battery. There is a significant loss between production and powering the wheels. This is the biggest source of misunderstanding about the subject.
What is your basis for stating that the author is coming from a place of privilege? Do you truly believe a Nigerian developer who makes a salary 1-2 orders of magnitude less than yours codes out of passion rather than a paycheck because of privilege?

Really cool project, thanks for making it available for others to look at. It really reminds me of https://pocketbase.io/ which has sorta the same idea and can be extended with go/js. How does the database work under the hood? Is it also based on sqlite? Are rust modules built with a special runtime in mind like tokio or?

Well, it should be relatively easy to try to reproduce the experiment... but yes, I agree that a battery will be considered "dead" when the device it was powering stops working with the provided voltage, and 0.6 volts is likely far below that voltage (except maybe for traditional flashlights with incandescent bulbs which get dimmer and dimmer, but will probably still work?).

I'm a Data Scientist. For some time, I've been working on a library for feature engineering.
• GitHub: https://github.com/feature-express/feature-express
• Website: https://feature.express
It isn't yet complete, and I wouldn't consider it ready for production use or handling larger datasets. Here are some of its characteristics:
• Event-based workflows: Initially, everything is converted to an event format, ingested into an event store, and processed from there.
• In-memory: Both the event store and evaluation have been built from scratch.
• Written in Rust, but there's a Python package available.
• A DSL (Domain Specific Language) for defining aggregations, similar to SQL.
Why am I developing this? I've always found it challenging to build models based on time. These models can be surprisingly tricky, and there's a high risk of accidentally using future data, which can lead to data leakage. FeatureExpress is designed to nearly eliminate such mistakes. Moreover, I believe that representing data as events is an intuitive approach.
> Second, NP-hard means the problem is either NP-complete or not in NP at all. Which is another confusing naming, because problems not in NP are NP-hard.

But remember that P is in NP, so NP-hard implies not in P (assuming P ≠ NP).
> - ~/.config/foo -- only you write files here, so it's your detritus, not the program's :)

That's not true.

> ls ~/.config/cef_user_data/Dictionaries

> en-US-9-0.bdic

That's a dictionary file written in a binary format. I don't even know what program wrote this crap there, only that it's embedding chrome (CEF).

> ls ~/.config/ibus/bus/

> dcf58003d1744e71aa86dd97e951d49d-unix-0 dcf58003d1744e71aa86dd97e951d49d-unix-1 dcf58003d1744e71aa86dd97e951d49d-unix-wayland-0

Files describing how to do IPC with current processes. They belong to ~/.local/state not .config.

This time, I won't even try to make a judgement as to what is "my detritus" as opposed to the program's because there are too many files involved, and will just show how much they occupy on my drive despite being in .config when 90% of them really ought to be in .local/share and .cache

> cd ~/.config/google-chrome

> du -h

> 999M .

Ahem. I think the idealism toward the XDG spec has not panned out.

By the way, Chrome does have folders in .cache :

> cd ~/.cache/google-chrome

> du -h

> 651M .

But, I believe it doesn't put "local storage" stuff from webapps there.

It doesn't use ~/.local at all.

~/.config is broken beyond belief and not the place where you just have "your config files".

The only sane way to manage "your config files" is to put them in a git managed folder and use a symlink farm program.

A large part of the energy loss in electronics happens in switch-mode Buck-Boost DC-DC converters, as I understand it mainly due to internal resistance in the components used and due to the magnetic field not being directed enough to transfer 100% power between two inductors.

From the benchmarks I’ve seen, QAT is a desperate attempt to gain some competitive advantage over AMD. It’s not clear if there is any actual advantage for real workloads.

Sure, benchmarks of pure compression will come out ahead for Intel, but a typical sever running something like a database engine with compressed disk storage is likely a win for AMD.

The new EPYC 9004 chips are much cheaper than the Intel CPUs with QAT, and they have more cores, and much higher clock speeds.

It’s hard to believe there’s any scenario where the Xeon CPUs provide better overall value…

> With care you can attach a repl to a remote running program

That's good, but it's also table stakes. Drb (in the standard library) lets you remote access any Ruby object, so if you want a remote REPL, it's is simply a case of injecting a Drb server. Hence e.g. pry-remote which remotes the Pry REPL, but you can also then remote any already existing object in any running application.
Can't believe it's still an issue in 2023. The number of times I've gotten to a paywall for an mildly interesting article and I've just walked away because either the institutional access is broken, or not covered or there's simply no way to work out where the full article is.

Hydrogen is also ised in a variety of industries, including steel. Today, that hydrogen is a by-product of oil refining. Having a green hydrogen source that is cost competitive is a great thing.

No idea if the 1 USD per kg is realistic so.
Don't forget most journals take a publication fee in the hundreds. And pay per reviewers nothing.
I suspect the plans in Germany are to import Hydrogen as Ammonia from overseas in addition to directly creating and locally storing hydrogen from wind and solar power .. all to feed local generators to baseload the German powergrid.

I could find a few results for XDG support in Go, Rust, and NodeJS, but none of the aforementioned languages supported standards across all of macOS/Windows/Linux. Hopefully it's just my Google-fu failing me and people can correct me in the comments?

Anyone who says insert complicated thing is very easy has abandoned any pretence of reason. Educating other people is in fact actually very hard.

Other countries eat much of the cost of health care and education. We have to pay people enough to cover both. There is also a complicated apparatus to deal with to meet federal obligations and get federal dollars that doesn't magically go away if you get test scores up.

You have started with a very large number entirely made up with no intent to justify it. There is virtually nothing to disagree with because you haven't bothered to justify it not even so far as to add up the costs of incentives and see if the cuts you propose equal the incentives you propose.

Back before Apollo the client for Reddit announced that it was going to disappeared, i started working on a client with the same dark scheme and ui feel as Apollo but for HN.

I did this as a way to play around with iPod development and swift and i made it pretty far, more than expected, using the hn api powered by fire ase.

I eventually got into an issue with hn stories with too many comments. I need to rethink my approach on how to handle these cases, otherwise the app crashes when it tries to render 800 comments or so.

Overall it was a fun learning experience.

Yes, yes. qubits & bits. One must think of QC state space on the order of θ(2^2^N) compared to CC θ(2^N) where N is qubits and bits respectively.

IBM's at the 400 qubit mark, and claims to be on-track to deliver 1k within a year. If this were to happen, it'd be like going from the Gemini Guidance Computer to a 386 in 1 year. This means HFT platform$ will be able to use more near-real-time simulation capabilities to gamify the markets to capture greater tranches of total capitalization. I don't see this trend ever declining except when wandering into increasingly-frequent longtail, LTCM-like collapses whenever externalities of the real world catch up to the so-called "efficiencies" of an under-regulated casino masquerading as a bazaar.

AWS/GCP is frequently 2x-3x as expensive as doing it yourself, depending on your usage patterns as some things are vastly more overpriced than others (e.g. egress), sometimes a bit lower, but if your control plane is more than a rounding error in your overall cost you're doing something very wrong.
