When you're already running at full tilt, how are you going to ramp up energy production? You then need to build more.

Building and connecting takes time. Texas has added several state's worth of energy to the grid in the past few years. The peak hit at the 2021 winter storm was 76GW, far higher than any normal time historically. This summer, just two years later, Texas is going >85GW of power demand every day.

For comparison, New York's projected peak demand is only 32GW for this summer. So Texas' demand grew by an additional 1/3 of New York's entire demand in just 2 years. That's a massive amount of growth!

The Portrayal of Early Manned Spaceflight in Hidden Figures: A Critique
Yes actually! Knuth says he got into computer science because he could see that the example programs in the IBM 650 manual were not very good, and he thought "if I, a college student just getting started with computers, can do better than the professionals, then maybe I have some talent for it". Years later, he learned that the programs in the manual were just bad; almost anyone could do better.

>> Have you studied the history of science and why people believed these theories for centuries?

> Yes

The short terse answers yielding very little substantive information, are typical when you don’t have much substantive information, haven’t thought things through and are subconsciously worried you’ll “lose an argument”.

The goal is to mutually improve understanding. Very few people have studied the historu of science and how and why scientific thought changed. I highly doubt you have done it to any great extent. But if you have, would you mind recommending a book on the subject? I can’t seem to find many on that particular subject.

I genuinely want to learn more about it. I think it is fascinating, and that I know than most people on it, but I haven’t found great books on it so if you did in fact study it do recommend something.

> I have no idea what you are talking about. Can you make your position clear please. If you’re saying there’s some alternative to evolution, please state it instead of teasing us.

I think I have been quite clear, and you have chosen to ignore most of my direct questions.

“Evolution” is a very broad term that encompasses many theories, and you shouldn’t be conflating them to make a disingenuous argument. For example, the theory of common descent says that animals of various species have common ancestors. It says nothing about speciation occurring only through random mutation and natural selection. There are other theories about punctuated equilibria etc. that are postulated to try to explain available evidence.

What you are asking for is essentially a “neo darwinism of the gaps” argument. If you don’t know how it came about then “random mutation did it”.

My whole point is that merely concocting just-so stories within a framework to double-down on it is not scientific. Do you agree? Or you disagree? Can you be clear?

I have already quoted from your own article that the stories are problematic on their own terms. It isn’t my task to disprove your stories, it’s hard to prove a negative, and if you are making a positive claim the onus is on you to provide evidence for the story. It seems many of the stories are problematic.

But even if they weren’t, merely following Darwin in this way isn’t doing actual science any more than a follower of Marx or Freud.

One of the weirdest things about Java's URL API is this:

equals

Two hosts are considered equivalent if both host names can be resolved into the same IP addresses; else if either host name can't be resolved, the host names must be equal without regard to case; or both host names equal to null.

If you're doing bulk operations on stored URLs, you may just be sending out tons of DNS resolutions without ever calling an obvious networking API (like openConnection). If your DNS is down or slow, equals() will block.

I'm sure most Java programmer here has learned this lesson, but new programmers get surprised by this every time.

This is the city that invented the idea of selling 99-year leases of public land and infrastructure. Every time there’s a budget issue, they sell off a piece of the city rather than addressing the actual budgetary problems (ie spending too much damn money!).

It’s also unsurprisingly a single party city, and State too, with the Democrat party being in continuous control of the city for 85+ years.
I want to buy up all of the old readily available GPUs. No need to fight over new latest gen GPUs to actually produce coins. You just need equipment that looks like you can do mining.

If you want the law to reflect the economic reality, by all means engage with your local politicians.

I know people with a tree farm business in Texas who only hire illegals because every single citizen they've tried to hire cut their pinky off the second week on the job and filed for disability.

I don't disagree with your argument one bit but illegal is illegal. If somebody is going to break our laws to come here what expectation should I have that they're going to respect our laws once they're here? Criminals should be treated like criminals in a functioning society.

If the economic benefits are worth it to you, change the law. Don't subvert its enforcement. You can't stand up shouting about Trump and a Jan 6th insurrection and also turn a blind eye to illegal immigration in the same breath.
Alphabet would like get separated into independent companies.

They might already be tracking their profitability that way to encourage search to include more ads "organically" (as in by tying search performance to ads in search revenue that team will be interested in improving ads in search revenue)

This doesn't even mean Google Search doesn't use Google Ads. It just means that Google Search has to buy usage of Google Ads thereby allowing competition between ad providers.

Why not be negative? They're not being given $22m for funsies. The backers will want a 10x return, so somehow Arduino must now raise their value to $220 million (actually $540 million, since they raised $54m in total). Where's that money coming from?

My dilemma: domain expertise vs. perceived opportunity in unfamiliar industry
A while ago, I attended an industry-specific conference and, after socializing, realized that lots of people were experiencing a very prominent and expensive pain point. However, I don't have any connections in what we'll call Industry A (I went to the conference because I was interested in the field).

I've also had a software idea for an industry (Industry B) my wife has worked in for 10+ years and, after doing "The Mom Test" with her, believe it might improve a few efficiencies in lots of companies' workflows. However, the "need" I sensed and the severity of the pain point didn't seem as significant as it did in Industry A. Even so, if I decided to pursue an idea in Industry B, I'd have continuous feedback every step of the way from my wife.

Which idea should I pursue further?
So essentially its high growth in energy demand? And probably it not making sense financially to overbuild.
In Canada, specifically Toronto, an average single family house in 2014 used to cost 400K. Now it’s 1.2M. Wages haven’t gone up, quality of healthcare and other services such as public transport have gone down. Meanwhile, taxes have gone up.

I always laugh at how politicians and media ignite the culture war as if it’s not all part of the design. Keep everyone distracted over things that don’t ultimately matter while a very small segment of the society essentially plunders and loots the wealth and already asset owning and well connected part of society keeps owning bigger and bigger share of the pie. Under the surface, the entire last decade since GFC has been a class war waged by the elites. Upward mobility is dead and with it the whole “American dream” or “Canadian Dream” or “immigrant dream”. Welcome to the age of generational wealth and wealth transfer much like Europe a century ago.

It's not a loan because it doesn't have to be paid back.

But it operates somewhat worse than a loan because the buyer now has some say in how the company is run, and they will want to see a return on their investment eventually.

A loan may be better because as long as the company can service it, the lenders have no say in how the business is run, and they get no additional profit from increased income/profit of the business.
> He relishes the idea of me not reminding him, and even though it's just taking out the trash—he likes the idea of "owning" it

Kudos to you.

The worst part of owning chores like trash and dishwasher stuff as a teenager was that inevitably it didn’t matter when I had planned to do the thing. My parents would get on my case about not having done the thing yet. Sometimes literally as I emerged from my room to go do the thing, I would get reminded that I need to do the thing. Thanks mom I know I’m on my way.

Always felt like that robbed me of the opportunity to shine.

What I’ve learned since then is that it’s extremely hard to need something done and rely on others to make it happen. The internal stress of “I could do this in 10min but I gotta let the junior team members spend 2 hours fumbling around so they can learn” … oof.

No, you don't get to back out. But a starting point would be to find out where the investors would be willing to be bought out, and then start negotiating from there. One can put a dollar value on how bad this deal is, and that is the cost of getting out of it.
I mean, it's not free money. The people who gave them the money expect to get the money back plus some profit. Whatever fancy financial words people like to doll that up with, it still sounds to me like debt.

I think you got it all wrong. VC funding makes things cool because they could afford to loose money and make product better. Enshittification starts when they stop receive VC funding like reddit or docker. Reddit was founded 18 years ago and for the first 10 years it was good because they don't have any pressure to make money.
This is really cool! It took me a bit to understand what this thing is for so allow me to summarize:

For simple LLM tasks, don't bother using this tool. It won't do much for you.

If you have a more complicated task (eg. knowledge database lookups, chain of thought reasoning, multi-hop lookups...) then DSPy offers 2 things: a clean class-based representation of your workflow, and a way to *solve* for the best prompt structure to solve your problem.

To me, the last part is the most interesting because it promises to eliminate tedious prompt engineering. All you need is a set of examples to "train" your prompts on.

One thing that most TUIs have but most GUIs (web or native app) don't is fast keyboard navigation. There are obviously exceptions to both cases, but as a general rule this seems to hold true.

Watching people who are very familiar with the TUI that they're using do complex business transactions is a sight to behold. In particular, a seasoned user will likely type a series of commands that will get buffered until the TUI catches up with them - I've never seen a GUI that could do this.
Yea, don't blame the current administration for printing more currency and the fed for raising rates, making new mortgages a non-starter. Don't blame government for giving colleges a means to sell worthless unproductive degrees at premium tuition with inescapable terms that hurts the applicant's earning potential and buying power. Don't blame the myth of "following your passion" as a means for earning a living, while simultaneously killing the work ethic of a generation. And don't blame the people who made poor decisions, despite the volumes of information available.

Just blame old people who have worked hard their entire lives, and never knew the conveniences and luxuries that the younger generation now takes for granted.

The article does two things extremely well. It is shores up the stereotype of young people not taking responsibility for their own shitty decisions, and it absolves leadership of the consequences of social engineering.
I have a friend who works in the energy industry specifically targeting power grid management.

It is far easier for power companies to manage power loss for things with consistent power usage (low variance) than high variance / inconsistent power loads.

Businesses tend to be very consistent, even if their power draw is high, like manufacturing or hospitals etc.

Residential power tends to be more variant and harder to fine tune for because it can spike quite suddenly in unexpected ways and tends to add more base load over time.

Therefore, it’d actually make more sense for power companies to buy people homes in other states if lowering base load is a concern, since residential is where all the major issues are for load balancing, no?
It’s impossible for me to game on 3 consoles due to time constraints. Juggling 2/3 (switch/deck) and switching 2/3 (switch/PC) a year later is not a big deal.

One of my favorite fantasy series is The Dresden Files. The first two novels are awful. Jim Butcher is clearly a new author at the time and making new author mistakes. But in the third book he starts finding his voice and the characters hit their stride. Each subsequent novel he's getting better and better. You're watching his growth as an author at the same time as his characters are growing throughout the story. It starts as a serial noir wizard detective story and ends up being an epic fantasy. I thoroughly enjoyed the ride despite the very rough start.
I have firstinitiallastname@gmail.com and I get a lot of stuff meant for other people. Someone even used it to sign up for their bank, and said bank apparently didn't require verifying the email address. I don't even have that common of a name.
I wouldn't doubt that at all. During covid it became clear to me that there is a large part of the population that does the opposite of what any authority figure tells them regardless of how much sense it makes, just to be spiteful & show how 'uncontrolled' they are.
I greatly dislike case-insensitivity. It's a source of many problems for users and implementors.

For implementors case-insensitivity means the need for full Unicode support is urgent, while Unicode canonical equivalence does not often make the need for full Unicode support urgent. In practice one often sees case-insensitivity for ASCII, and later when full Unicode support is added you either have to have a backwards compatibility break or new functions/operators/whatever to support Unicode case insensitivity.

For users case-insensitivity can be surprising.

For code reviewers having to constantly be on the lookup for accidental symbol aliasing via case insensitivity is a real pain.

Just say no to case insensitivity.
TUIs feel like the epitome of “they were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.”
Can someone explain me why, if a branch is mispredicted enough, a CPU can't execute both the true and the false side? Then throw away half the work when the direction of the branch is finally known. The cost would be more unretired instructions, but the cost of prediction failure would also be lower.

They simply believed they couldn't win a 2 Front war, they misunderstood their own strength.

But this cost them because it made sure that Britain would be fully on the side of France.

> The Germans are tactically brilliant, operationally lacking and strategically bankcrupt

It always depends on the leadership. But yes in WW1/WW2 it was mostly true.

Operationally lacking is sometimes true, they also pulled of some of the best operations ever.
I guess you also need to draw and pay for a lot of electricity most of the time to get that kind of deal.
But that's an entirely separate argument. At the end of the day we have to live in the real world where human aggression exists.

If you have no defense, then you have no defense. If that's how you want to live, don't hide behind some other argument.

You'll have something that someone else wants or needs and they're going to club you over the head for it. You seem to be okay with that. That's cool, but I'm not.
