Concur. In large parts, the book feels like it's making the forest of fundamental research papers, published across decades, accessible by putting them into context, ordering them and "dumbing them down" for us mere mortals.

Most of that research is decades old. I specifically remember Lamport timestamps. Not only has that held up, it's unlikely to go anywhere anytime soon. Most topics covered are as fundamental as the two generals problem; almost philosophical.

No database vendor can solve the issues around two concurrently existing write masters. Sync will be necessary, conflicts will occur. A concrete vendor could only hope to make that less painful (CRDTs for automatic conflict resolution, ...). That's kind of the level that book operates at.

So you would need to have two separate electrolyzing processes, one that isolates H2 and one that runs this operation? How much energy would have to go into the first one?

I’m asking because a lot of the demand for hydrocarbon that I see mentioned is for processes that have more efficient, non-hydrocarbon equivalents.

I think at times, it just has to be either my hearing is going bad or terrible mixing. I have a 5.1 system, upgraded the center channel from a 2 to 5 woofer speaker, have the center channel audio maxed and there are still times I can barely hear dialogue. Sure, I can turn the audio up to 11 but then action scenes make it sound like an actual explosion in my living room.

Oddly, when I listen to music / only audio on the same system, I can keep it at a low volume and hear everything fine.

So, maybe my hearing isn’t going, yet.

But should be fine if they get some occasional trickle charging and no real draw (gotta clear the snow off the panels here and there over winter)

Like other comments here, just want to say thank you for this amazing editor! It has been my primary code editor for the past few years. I did use a few different editors for specific purposes(vscode for interactively proving coq code, joe/nvi for editing super large files), but micro does provide what I need in 90% of the cases :P
My approach is very different, firstly: Storage is local, not on some cloud service. My music is stored on my fileserver, along with my other files.

Even uncompressed PCM is cheap enough to store that I see no good reason to convert to a lesser formt, or even convert to a more efficient one.'

I'll go for FLAC if available, or WAV or highest bitrate whatever lossy crap alternative.

Even with large file support, GIT is not a nice way of storing music, I don't need any of the that git offer here..

My directory structure is "put it somehwere under /data/audio/music" if I have multiple albums from an artist, put it under /data/audio/music/artistname

I let my scraper build an inventory from the metadata, when I'm on my own LAN, I run rhythmbox against it, when I'm out, I use a bespoke player to navigate it from fuzzy searching and building play-queues. There's a web-interface so I can play from the browser when at work, and an android app that I can use when I'm on the phone.

Deleting things?
I do that only when I've acquired a better quality release, or discover dupes.
The only "cloud" principle I use is that I view my music collection as a cloud, it's something I search and explore, not a neat overview.. There's no way to have a neat overview of the infinite.
Most ancestors of people who are currently anywhere, once came from another place and displaced (with various degrees of intermixing) a previous population. There are exceptions of course, like remote pacific islands (including New Zealand) where there hasn't been enough time to totally confuse whose the actual "native".

Anatolia's current main ethnicity in particular is the result of relatively recent migration. Turks settled in Anatolia in the 11th century.

When describing events happening 4000 years before turkification of anatolia, reference to "Anatolian" gene pool clearly references the people who lived there at that time.

Asia minor was a always a complicated melting pot of a region, due to its geography. A migration Indo-European people was underway in Anatolia round the timeframe of the article, but it wasn't by all means a complete displacement of the pre-existing cultures yet.

Anyway, history (and prehistory) is fascinating and it's a shame that people can't help but reduce it to modern stereotypes (and I've see that violence done from both sides of the political spectrum)

The reason is that Snowflake charges close to cost for object storage and they compress your data when they put it in.

However...that means they need to make it up elsewhere. When you do get around to running queries the markup on compute can be 5-10x (or potentially more) depending on the plan you are using. If you do constant, compute heavy aggregation Snowflake is not the right place to do it.

The problem here is how justifiable is the change in prices, not the amount. If you raise prices because you really have to and I can't keep up, that's OK, that means that my business is not viable anymore, I need to charge more also or cut on expenses (or go out of business, which is also OK). But if you keep milking me for more money just because you can, as I have no other options, it's not OK at all.
Digging through the source I've found https://github.com/cotes2020/jekyll-theme-chirpy
I love Steam, Valve and Proton, and what they've done for Linux gaming, but nothing will make me compromise on DRM. To me, ending DRM is just as important as supporting free operating systems, so unfortunately no amount of good will gives Valve a free pass in my eyes.

So I've started buying games from DRM-free platforms like GoG and adding them to Steam as non-Steam games. Same compatibility and no need to use an external tool to maintain Wine/Proton prefixes. With the boatloads of money Valve makes from Steam, they probably won't miss me too much.
I mean, you stated that you do not get the safety argument. If you recently would have driven a bicycle in a car crowded city, or walked there around with small children, I don't think you would ask that question as it is obvious that cars are the danger number 1 in cities.
I'm continuously surprised how flexible they are. Even in my case.
> I work at a non-profit which makes some closed-source software

Out of curiosity: is it for internal use?
There’s no clear indication whether that would require some CO2 or a concentrated atmosphere of CO2 without O2. Extracting CO2 from the atmosphere at 0.4% is expensive.

If this is meant to use concentrated CO2 coming out from a furnace, would that need to be local, piped in over a long distance, or using bottles? Are there use cases where we must burn propane because we can’t replace that process with electricity?
Other than DDIA do you have a heuristic for finding the older papers? I often look for the seminal works but it’s hard when you don’t know who the key people are in a new field. Do you just look for highest number of citations on google scholar or something else?

For example in the world of engines, Heywood is basically god: (https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=John...) has 29k citations!
When they buy out any game exclusivity (so the games are only sold on Epic store on pc), they would make the game drop linux support even when the games previously can run on linux natively (e.g. rocket league, payday 2, etc). That's a huge negative in my book, enough to make me never consider using Epic store.

I walked across Tokyo last weekend. Took me 20 hours. I suck at writing so all I'll say is that everyone should walk across a city. It's a magical experience. Turn off your your phone, bring a disposable camera and a compass and just walk. You'll discover so many personal insights.

It doesn't really matter if they check it or not, I had Nitro for a year during pandemic because I thought I could stream in higher quality. In reality the quality was just as bad, and sometimes video looked very pixelated.

I have gigabit connection at home and a good GPU that does the encoding but I guess Discord doesn't have any servers near me (~1900km to Rotterdam) and it might be prioritizing low latency. The experience was terrible so I cancelled the subscription. All the other paid features seemed useless to me.
Though I have never seen one, I believe it only checks at ignition. Needing to do anything extra while driving is a recipe for disaster.
It's not just the hearing capability, I have better than average hearing for someone who is 30 but I still struggle with movies without subtitles since English is not my primary language.

Its hard to understand what someone is saying even if I can hear the sounds, when it just sounds like mumbled gibberish.

Add on top rather arbitrary restrictions on subtitles based on region (on Netflix I cannot use English subs because of where I live), which is even more infuriating.
I know this terror as a parent now, and recognize just how scary it must have been for mine. I was one of these kids growing up; I didn't free solo but I found plenty of cliffs to jump, steep hills to bomb, and difficult dangerous things to do in the ocean beyond the watchful eyes of my parents. I don't believe there was anything they could have done to prevent this. I also think that they recognized this, because while they always cautioned me to be careful, instead of trying to prevent my adventuring they consistently prepared me with training, information and opportunities to (semi-)safely test my limits.

I recognize myself in my son now, and while I also am sometimes terrified of what that might mean, I think my parents took the right tack and I'm trying my best to do the same. I'd rather he's a strong swimmer, a trained climber, a confident adventurer, than an adolescent just taking risks in defiance.
Every generation has their own hooptie. That one budget car of which millions were made, which trickled down from parents or grandparents, and became the defining automobile for the 18 year olds of that generation. Eventually they become more and more rare until the sighting of one takes you right back to your teenage years, and you instantly smell that particular French econobox cloth interior smell again.

Time is a bitch huh.
In the good old times Discord's dev console wasn't even locked and I remember using it to file a bug report with a good description. At least they still provide an easy way in, I've also given up to debug some other electron apps where I only had the binary.

Say I open HN on my morning coffee and open 5 links in new tabs. They don't have to be to sites I've opened before. I will be tracked until i go to each tab and add it to uBlock Origin.

It'd be interesting to see a fantasy layout: say you were to let go of the computer keyboard layout, how would you set it up? Thumb keys, foot keys, toggles, etc, go wild.

Edit:
There are decent guides to designing and hand-wiring keyboards using computer keycaps. I haven't looked far, but something like this https://medium.com/cracked-the-code/a-complete-guide-to-buil... .

The linked layout editor (http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com) allows pretty wild layouts. Try loading the ErgoDox layout. While you might want to go farther still, it does nicely showcase rotated thumb clusters.

The plate & case builder tool can then generate some basic CAD files for a sandwich keyboard build to fit your keys. This can then be laser cut or something.

Because most designs use a Teensy with USB connection, you might even be able to make the keyboard output MIDI, so it could easily plug into a DAW, or whatever.
> Of the many ways to verify a product isn't counterfeit, they just had no choice but to pick the one that takes away all control from the consumer. Meanwhile phones solved this ages ago - a "bootloader unlocked" message at boot. But NVIDIA is tactically ignorant of that possibility.

A phone has a boot chain, where it's likely the first 2 stages can't be unlocked without keys or a soc exploit, these stages have full access to the display, thus these stages can show a warning on the screen, it's not comparable to GPU firmware.

There's likely many reasons why Nvidia locks their cards down, but I doubt that preventing forgery isn't one of them, there's no lie.
It sounds like you assume banks are run by morons that like losing money? And it sounds like you have no idea how borrowing against stocks works?

First, the banks charge you interest depending on amongst other things the risk incurred. More risk, more interest. (Look at eg junk bonds for an example.)

Second, when you borrow against your stock, you typically only get, say, 50 dollars loaned for every 100 dollars of stock. (Details vary.) If the value of your stock drops anywhere close to eg 75 dollars, typically the bank has the right to sell some or all of your stock to pay off the loan.

If your stock dropped so quickly that it's gone before the loan has been paid off, the bank might or might not come after your other assets. Whether they can do so, depends on the contract you have with them. Again, if it's a non-recourse loan, you are going to pay higher interest, and they'll demand more conservative loan to value ratios.

> If the stock goes up, you can pay off the loan and keep the difference.

Third, why would you pay off the loan, and with what money? The whole point of the scheme is to never sell stocks, so you never have to pay capital gains taxes.

You just let your loan's balance accumulate over time with the compound interest.

(One popular scheme is called 'buy-borrow-die': because of a quirk in the US tax system, you don't pay capital gains taxes when you die. So you acquire stock somehow, then borrow against it, and you pay off the loan only when you die: your estate or the bank sells enough stocks to cover the loan, and doesn't have to pay capital gains taxes.)

The banks are happy to let you run up a balance, as long as your loan-to-value ratio stays low enough. Ie as long as your stocks grow sufficiently faster than your outstanding loans.

> Notably, the rich do not have problems with "credit score", which never seems to apply to them.

Credit scores are a standardised system to deal with average people. If you are rich enough, the bank can afford to have a real human look into your specific situation, instead of relying on a number.

As as a slightly made up example: Elon Musk is known for getting into legal fights and being annoying to deal with, and trying to wiggle out of obligations. So creditors might charge him more interest purely for that risk. Whereas Michael Bloomberg always stick so this agreements, and a handshake from him is a firmer commitment than an thousand page contract with Elon Musk that covers all eventualities.

Paradoxically, someone who is known to to be able to afford expensive and competent lawyers might have to pay higher interest rates than some middle class Joe Average. It's not that the bank thinks Elon Musk has a higher risk of running out of money than Joe Average; but it's that the bank fears that Elon Musk is harder to sue than Joe Average is to foreclose on.

> You make a claim here with "Each answer displayed astonishing understanding of what occurs." and the question you fail to ask is: Whose understanding?

The answer is obvious. The LLM is understanding the concepts. The last question was unique. The resulting answer was also unique.

It was not a "retrieved" answer. It was a unique answer. A correct composition of several underlying concepts. A correct composition can only be formulated if the machine had correct understanding of each concept and how they relate to one another.

This thing understands you. It wholly owns this understanding. It is not regurgitating knowledge. It is inventing new answers.

Wake up man. I had the LLM invent 6 regions and heat the cup of coffee to plasma levels of heat. The answer and composition of concepts was remarkable.

Interestingly enough, as of 2023-08-22, Google IoT core is still alive and kicking. We are still getting events delivered, and the web console is still functional.

> if we can't even use Monads without mathematically knowing they are Monads then no one is ever going to be using them.

You don't need to know what a monad is to use one. Everyone who has ever written a computer program has used one. Knowing that you're using a monad, and what that means about your program structure, is the entire value proposition here - actually applying particular monad operations is utterly trivial. "Monad" belongs in the same category as "data structure", not "tree".
Mostly I agree with you, but

> However, we can enumerate all the things that we create can do.

Not really, no. Even before AI, "Turing Complete" makes things extremely hard to enumerate; see Busy Beaver numbers for how small a system can be and still outside our ability to fully comprehend — needing to use up-arrow notation because exponentials aren't big enough is always good for a laugh.
I'd love to understand when a browser account/profile picker is useful? I do know that I need to pick e.g. account for which Gmail inbox I want to read, but that happens inside Gmail's account picker. I know that I could have profile in browser so that it always logins to right account, but then again when I browse different things, I do not want to constantly switch the browser profile either. Then on computers you have separate user accounts already that different family members can use without leaking their personal data.

For development, the incognito/guest is usually good enough (when you need to have "clean" state).

> Simply having an account there normalizes

It's long been normalized, Discord has already won. I'm not saying that it's great, but for certain communities you don't have a choice, besides not participating.

It's actually even worse than back then, when it was "everyone has WhatsApp" because you could easily contact the people otherwise, you already had their number. But imho personal conversations are not the draw for Discord, it's communities with semi-public spaces (public as in 100 people will read it, not "it's available to everyone").
I think that sounds about right. We are wealthier than in the 1950s. We have super computers in our pockets and a global information network, for example!

For housing though, the economic unit is the household, not the individual, and land and location are not really affected by how much stuff we can produce. So housing costs will always occupy a large fraction of household wealth, no matter how wealthy we become.
You are right. I meant it if you do excercises “properly” it shouldnt be big difference. But of course that already means freeweights are more dangerous.

Mental illness is in and of itself a socio-political construct. To assert the label of being "mentally ill" on another is an attempt to disqualify their viewpoint from consideration in the public forum due to some form of physical defect rendering the speaker unfit to participate.

As it turns out, controlling the goalposts of "mental illness" is to wield an incredibly powerful docio-political tool.

Anyone resorting to claims thereof I instantly downgrade heavily in consideration, and begin immediate adverse treatment barring extreme self-evident behavior on the part of the accused. Behavior that comes out to more than "embracing a viewpoint I might not like".

> Keeping prices low is a great thing.

To a first approximation, yes, but this also forces things like small farmers and retailers being unprofitable, and all the societal changes that come with that, and of course then the tendency for consolidation and the inherent risk of more monopolisation from that.

Free market is great when it's full and noisy and no-one is large enough to control or manipulate it, the aim should be to keep it in this state (because then keeping prices low falls out naturally without terrible second order effects)
