I agree, that's why I think it was a stupid metric for the author to use as the basis of their article. It doesn't matter if average F500 company age is increasing when the average time on the f500 is decreasing.

This is all beside the fact that company age itself is meaningless when you have a history full of mergers, acquisitions, and even reverse mergers or takeovers.

I think when it comes to things about raising kids, a nuanced discussion is necessary, otherwise we end up with parents who blindly enforce the simplistic idea, thus actually being detrimental to their kids.

> But you can't run the grid on 50% renewables without solving storage.

Counter-example: Brazil's national grid routinely runs on over 85% renewables with essentially zero storage (there might be a couple of experimental battery storage units, but if any they're much less than 1%; and all it has of pumped hydro storage is one partial preliminary study of possible locations).
Because it's a ridiculous comment. France has been relying on nuclear power for a huge chunk of their national energy use for over 50 years. France is nuclear power greatest success story. The amount years of improved air quality, the enormous amount of CO2 prevented, the relative political independence of France, all of these are taken for granted without measure. And then the counter argument is that they recently stopped? How is that an argument against nuclear power?

The reason they're relying on German coal right now is because they stopped building new nuclear plants because gas was too cheap, there was too much geopolitical stability for it to be strategically advantageous and it was not politically attractive to spend money on. None of these are arguments against nuclear, but the results of short sighted decisions. Nuclear is only more expensive than gas if you don't count the effect on climate, the dependence on oil producing nations, the health effects of airborne particles.
There is a famous Dijkstra quote, “The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim.”

Do the intrinsic properties of the system really matter at the end of the day if it performs as well as we do at some task? Heck they’ve been doing many things better for decades, but those are the types of tasks we take it for granted that a machine should be able to do. Solve differential equations. Play chess. But now computers are doing “human” tasks competently. Writing creative fiction. Generating graphical art.

We don’t have a good working definition or metric for intelligence. Surely it is not a monolithic property. Animals exhibit many traits we associate with intelligence. Some of the stuff GPT 3+ generates sounds pretty intelligent. It is the type of things an intelligence may have produced, because it was trained to do just that. If we look at intelligence as a cluster of traits, or behaviors, I think we are surrounded by intelligence - human, artificial, or otherwise. Doesn’t have to be an AGI to fall in that category. It doesn’t even have to be particularly impressive.

From what I know, typically people would use a pre-bend to achieve microtonalism in MIDI. In MIDI, like in most strictly-musical encodings, notes are specified in terms of semitones, with cents modifying those values. A cent is defined as 1% of a semitone. With a tuning reference (f), like 432 Hz, we can calculate the frequency a number of steps away with this handy function:

f' = f * 2 ^ (i / 12)

where
f' = frequency to be solved,
f = reference frequency
i = steps/interval (semitone distance from reference)

This works with micro-semitones, and/or negative values. So for example, if we want to know what 1.5 steps above 432 Hz is we would plug in the variables:

f' = 432 Hz * 2 ^ (1.5 / 12) ~= 471.0993 Hz

In the case where you know frequencies, and want to get the semitone steps, you're taking the base 2 log. So,

i = log2(f' / f) * 12

Now you'll have the note value of the exact frequency, and you can use the decimal part to set your pre-bend.

With the two directions' functions defined it's not so hard to go between frequencies and "notes". And no, you won't be in tune with most gear unless you're using 12TET A5=440Hz
does this work when code has changed?
Yeah I’m pretty tired of people who have a problem with social media assuming that that means everyone has a problem with social media - or that social media itself is a problem. If it doesn’t work for you, then don’t do it. Stop projecting and start taking responsibility for yourself.

Self worth comes from yourself. If you’re getting your worth from an outside source, that’s external validation, which is a wholly unsatisfying strategy. You’re always going to be chasing it. Not everybody has that problem.
> Wouldn't it be more ethical to not visit ad supported websites in the first place? Instead of removing the source of their income while still consuming their content?

That's fundamentally not how the web works. If you want me to pay for content, you need to get me to agree to pay for content. Just requesting a page, which I have no way beforehand of knowing contains ads, is not me agreeing to pay for the content. If you didn't want me to view the content without paying for it, why did you send me the content?

This is morally equivalent to the fake monk scam[1] in NYC where a fake Buddhist monk gives you a prayer bracelet and then demands that you pay them for it. You don't get to give people things and then demand that they pay for it when that was never agreed upon. Even if the payment is with their attention.

This is all setting aside the ethical blight that advertising, by its very nature, poses in the first place. Advertising is just lying--either literally, or by omission through presenting a one-sided view of products. There is never a case where advertising is ethical.

Note that the NYT has mostly stopped serving up content to people who haven't agreed to pay for it, and they're doing quite well financially lately.

I assume you didn't mean their brick and mortar stores, because some of the customer service I've experienced there has been atrocious. Why should I have to make an appointment just to buy one of their overpriced laptops? That's not how stores work.

> Every "pro nuclear" argument always seems to include some experimental technology that's either never been made cost effective or never made it out of the lab

To be fair, the same is true of pro-renewable arguments. Storage is always hand waved away with pumped hydro (not enough suitable reservoirs), "molten salt!", some wild globe-spanning HVDC network or an absolutely unfathomable amount of chemical batteries.

Energy is a really difficult problem and we have no obvious solutions.
Thank you all for the comments
We also know that corporations are going to be corporations. The business guys will eventually take the wheel and absent sufficient regulation they will inevitably cost-cut and corner-cut their way to disaster. It’s totally predictable.

If there is ever even a remote profit motive, everything, including safety, will eventually be thrown under the bus to maximize profit. It’s how all businesses are run.

Greater screen time at that age is indicative of parents without the time or interest or skills to do anything else with the kid which probably knocks on to all other aspects of said kids life.
>Social media simply amplifies what is already common among human beings

We all have some anger in us too. But we're not all frequently beating up or even killing people in powerful fits of anger. Something that "simply amplifies" pre-existing violent tendencies can have a dramatic detrimental effect on society.

Human beings have many potentialities. Amplifying some of them as opposed to others, is enough to change major parts of our behavior, personality, and even society.

> “purity” is holding us back and closing our mind to new solutions.

Maybe. But consider shebang. It means that any program (/script) written in any language known by the system can call any other program written in any other language. That keeps open the option of which laguage should we use for our next module. Right?
"Mothers of children with high levels of screen time were characterized as being younger, having never given birth, and having a lower household income, lower maternal education level, and having postpartum depression."

They found association with >4 hours screen time and development delays and then claim this is a dose response. But arguably it just seems that if kids are spending more than 4 hours away from humans then they actually just have a lot more issues going on in their household.

I don't see them lying.

I can see them exaggerating, and using extreme pathos to convince you, in a mere dialog, of the need for donations.

At worst, yes, their pleas could mislead the naïve. But they are extremely careful in their wording, and if they were outright lying, then they would suffer for it, perhaps even legally.

It's interesting, because many of the dialogs I see here are actually appealing to people who read Wikipedia the most (and don't edit it.) So I would say that's a good and targeted appeal to the freeloaders.

I am open to correction on this: if you can find a dialog from WMF that outright lied and told a falsehood about a material fact, then show it to us, and prove the fact. As we say, [citation needed].

That's actually not true. It's just that it's much harder to find that internet, because search engines are controlled by advertisers.
The fact that you had to preface this with you and your friends being pet owners kind of does make it a special case. You being suggested this vacuum cleaner by Amazon after buying it also doesn't do anything for you in this scenario because you bought the same one for your friends, so the recommendation wasn't needed. I think people are losing sight of the original argument which is that Amazon's recommendations can sometimes overemphasize recent purchases with very little context around what the items are.

It’s almost a weakly stated version of the ancient philosophical discussion about desiring the good (where good is basically “that which is desired” and evil “that which is not desired”) - it needs much more development to become a useful discussion.

And it becomes even more vague on a societal size - if I had a button that when pressed would take one dollar from everyone in the USA and give it to me, would I press the button? $350 million versus large amounts of people only out a dollar …
LifePO4 was about the same as lead acid in terms of lifetime costs (i.e. cycles * usable capacity / $) several years ago and have gotten significantly cheaper.

Pretty much the only reason to buy lead acid for a solar generator that faces daily partial discharge is because you can't afford sufficient LifePO4 capacity in the short term but don't care that you'll pay more long term.

This is not the product of the free market. Let's stop blaming the free market because it doesn't exist and it is a convenient scapegoat. We have no free market.

If the corner shop can go bankrupt but the trillion dollar company receives government help to pay its debts, it is not a free market.

If any tariffs system exists, which inherently favours a niche over the other, it is not a free market.

If once you reach a certain size you unlock ways to avoid paying your workers, skirt around taxes, because there are laws written to allow this, it is not a free market.

If the amount of money you control pays your way into the king's court, and helps sway the ones in power to write laws that favours you, it is not a free market.

> Chaebols are sort of the product of a centrally planned economy. I.e the government backs a "winner" - so Korea can more quickly compete globally at scale.

How are our Western democracies not centrally planned economies? Don't we have a central bank and a single place where all state powers flow from? Of course we don't operate like the CCCP did, but we are no less centrally-planned than they or Korea are.

We never had one a free market, we never had a decentralised economy, and we should be talking about that instead of living in that Eric Andre skit. Our system is set up to destroy any semblance of competition and meritocracy and then we wonder "who killed the small business?"

For sports stadiums, it's normally solved by installing ~10 cell towers inside the stadium itself to cope with the load.

Cell networks are getting better at installing small mobile cells now, and some even have 'cell-in-a-truck' designs that can be driven to a busy beach or other place that is temporarily busy to give people service where otherwise the network would be overloaded.

France is a nuclear success story, but they're also a good indicator that even when you're all bought in, there are logistics difficulties that come from your power generation being centralized to certain locations.

France has like 80% nuclear power, and most of the nuclear plants are actually underutilized! Why would France not use the plants at 100%? Because electricity is kind of fungible, except at massive scales where it totally isn't, and you can't "just" have power generated in the south be used in the north.

Nuclear is more expensive than gas, but once again it is worth pointing out that it is more expensive than solar and wind! Does this mean that we can replace all of the reactors with solar or wind? Obviously not. But if you're sitting there trying to produce energy in places that are not as close to the existing reactors, building energy production facilities that don't take decades to build (for "building big things takes time" reasons) and can work without a constant inflow of water (which is a practical and real concern for these power plants).
Wow, the one time in history I may be able to contribute something useful to a code-related discussion.

Autohotkey is amazing, but I wish it used a saner language. I struggled to write a reliable golden ratio version of aero snap [1]. Dealing with different monitors, sizes, etc doesn't seem like it should be so hard, but I always get tripped up by the bizarre Loop syntax or silent failures from some simple mistake that suck the fun out and I give up.

I found ahk python module [2] but combining it with the keyboard module doesn't work as well as autohotkey as a hotkey listener.

STM32 family grows to microprocessor/Linux level with STM32MP1
It's actually 70%. And recently a bit less because a lot of their ancient reactors were down for extensive maintenance in the middle of an energy crisis.

The reason their energy is not cheap is because nuclear is actually really expensive; also for the French. Instead of charging via electricity bills, the French just rolled that into their taxes. The energy bills don't quite cover the cost. The EDF, which runs their nuclear plants and is state owned, has a lot of debt, and has had some record losses recently. But it's OK; they are too big to fail and the French government will bail them out as needed as they have done for decades. At great cost to tax payers of course. But it keeps the electricity bills low.

The French have a nuclear industry for the same reason the US and the British and other nuclear powers do: it serves their military goals to have a functioning nuclear industry so they can maintain their status as a nuclear power. That means a lot of state funding has historically been available to keep these industries going. Without public funding, it's not really that attractive financially to be involved with nuclear.
I think you're underselling the strategy involved in a match 3 game. Anything that involves extrapolation of future states aren't of the board is pretty complex, at least mentally.

I hear this from tech people, but hft people are happily humming along with highly-synchronized clocks (mifid ii requires clocks to be synchronized to 100us). I wouldn't say it's "easy" but apparently if you need it then you do it and it's not that bad.
I urge you to really think about the “end of your bloodline” thing. I know so many smart people who are going to take themselves out of the gene pool because they don’t want to sacrifice modern comforts. It makes me really sad and I think a lot of people are doing what you’re doing and just ignoring the problem.

The future needs more smart, kind, people. Not fewer. It is worth it to sacrifice a little to create the next generation, goodness knows there were generations before you that sacrificed much more so that you could ultimately end up living, and it’s easier that you think, especially if you’re in a country that provides a decent social safety net.
This is worth highlighting as it is often omitted in the news and even in official UA communication - Starlik was enabled in Ukraine by Musk, but around 20-40k terminals were purchased and monthly feels are continuously being paid by donor countries, mainly Poland with over 20k units.

To preempt the states' right to repair laws.

Standard lobbying strategy.
Solar/wind is cheap as long as you still have something else to back it up when it fails. Battery is cheap and profitable as long as you're only building a couple minutes of capacity to play grid stabilizer/arbitrage games.

It's similar to the problem in privatized health insurance. It's very cheap and profitable to insure young healthy people. Especially when you can dump the responsibility of all the old and sick people on the government.

Of course investors invest in these things - they give quick, high returns on investment. That doesn't mean they're good for long-term stability.
I don't think the rooftop solar makes a dent in the vehicle's power needs, but maybe that changes with time. I've driven a lot of the US, a lot of national parks, and the driving is the trivial bit. Everything else is a pain, IMO!
