> 2. It might not get close to real meat in taste and texture

That's not in the article, I think.

> This was disappointing because I was expecting an analysis of the greenhouse gas contribution of lab grown meat. I didn't see anything (long article with lots of charts, I could have missed it). This is the key issue to me, will lab grown meat significantly help. I am fine with some meat substitutes, I want healthy and tastes good, lots of veg food is like that without trying to be meat.

I also would love to have this analysis, however, the data simply does not exist yet which adds to the uncertainty. I would also argue that the outlook on the techno-economic aspects is more pessimistic than what you put in 1. To quote the relevant section:

> It doesn’t scale. One of the chief proponents of lab-grown meat, the Good Food Institute (GFI), commissioned a techno-economic analysis (TEA) to project what the production of cell-cultivated meat in 2030 might look like. They imagine a facility that would use huge bioreactors to produce 10,000 metric tons of meat per year at an upfront capital cost of $450 million. 10,000 metric tons might sound like a lot until you learn that it would only amount to 0.002% of meat production in the US. Further, due to the high capital expenditure, investors would have to lock themself into 30-year repayment terms to keep the price per kilogram competitive - this is why supporters of the technology are calling for substantial public investments. So investors are faced with the “choice” of either throwing away absurd amounts of money to maybe make the tiniest dent in our meat production or to make a profit with a niche luxury product.

My only argument then is that this is a bet that we cannot afford to make, especially when reductionism already gets us there. Fully agree on the points about veggies being good on their own.
I think this type of abusive behavior used to be way more common in all work places.
Can you explain what you mean please?
But that directive is a big success? I know which sites are trying to track me, and which do not. What's more, even less technical people know that and may make an informed choice. Way better than allowing advertisers do whatever they want everywhere.

I disagree that you need to be miserable. Humans are very good at getting used to their circumstances, and some of the changes would be net positives on the personal level. I know I'm way happier now that I ride my bicycle as my main method of transportation.

But also, climate change is already making us miserable. I went on vacation and it was impossible to be outside between 12-3, so we had to plan our days around that. It's not a choice between happy and miserable, it's a tradeoff between less than ideal situations.
> I definitely want to believe

Me too. Nothing would make me happier than for someone to show me why I'm wrong here.
No, and if you accept it as a house then this is a recipe for developing a bad habit of leaving a trail of half finished projects in your wake.
It sounds like your assessment of the complexity of a vehicle is specifically tuned to mechanical features of cheap gasoline cars. I would suggest it might be more accurate to describe this as personality instead of soul.

Unsurprisingly electric vehicles, which do not have clutches or transmissions at all, or temperamental engines with inconsistent power curves, will exhibit little signal in the areas you have tuned yourself to perceive. This does not indicate anything about them in a universal way.

Your response indicates that you are perhaps incurious about the nuances of driving an EV. Since it sounds like you have invested a lot in sensing personality specifics of gasoline vehicles, this makes sense.

Perhaps early EV attempts were muted in their expression of activity personality. Entry level Teslas certainly are not fun to drive in the same way as an old Golf. Have you tried the Ioniq 5?
The EU is showning these banners on their own websites. So not even the EU is capable of creating a website without banners (because - even the EU - wants analytics and other bullshit).
Interactive curves are primarily meant to be used by designers. They are a tool. When the tool is not intuitive, it’s not really a solution to say “designers should just take calculus and it makes the problem go away.”
I wouldn't get hung up on individual products. This - gratuitous consumption of throw-away products - is an societal issue that needs to be addressed in a systemic way.
One thing that people overlook is just stuff like screen sizes. Back then your laptop was 640x480. Now it's 3840x2160, 26 times as many pixels to push. Just a single 4k framebuffer will take up 32 MiB, you are gonna need at least two (and your system might even want to use 3) so you are looking at 96 MiB of memory right there.
And this leaks into everything - just keeping a single display fed at 60 Hz takes up 2 GByte/s of memory bandwidth, more than half of what your dual-channel RDRAM setup could even deliver.

The purpose of these laws is exactly to change people’s behavior through incentives. So if the incentives produced by the law resulted in behaviors with negative social outcomes, that really is the fault of the people who came up with the law.

The primary motive is to have redundant fabs for defense critical infrastructure that is vulnerable to Chinese attack. That's why Micron is being gifted a new fab for DRAM production on the other side of the country in the midst of ongoing layoffs. Boosting production isn't the goal and CHIPS act will be a net money loser.
Yeah, there are various European countries that prohibit security cameras of all types. They are nuts as far as I'm concerned.
Croatia already has that ~7 cent tax on the container. Don’t know how that worked out. I know the capital has no recycling infrastructure. The tourists make no effort to collect that tax.

Yes, and like most language features it's not about the feature, it's about having _that feature_ in a language with other benefits.

Think generics in Go or concurrency (effects) in OCAML or smart pointers in Rust. Not at all unique things, but having them in the language with other benefits is worth some discussion as it may provide extra leverage in context.

IIRC: In “a short history of nearly everything” there is a story of a species of bird being thought extinct and then, mere miles apart, two people stumble upon a last surviving member. One stumbles upon a male, the other upon a female.

They both shoot their finding thinking “this is the last one, what a prize!”

Cookie banners are not compulsory at all, that’s only needed if the websites want to share your activity on this site with others in order to profile you.
I'm not really sure how these are related at all. Technical innovations for electric vehicles are totally different than the technical innovations required for fighting climate change. We can be poised to make progress in one sector and skeptical about progress in another. Blindly hoping that some breakthrough will happen to fix all our problems and just barreling along carelessly is worse than what you're describing.
On the other hand, if you do international trade outside of the EU you get the effect of lots of different bureaucratic systems that mean you have a lot to learn. It is much easier inside the EU.
I’m not forgetting this. The house was a store of wealth. Assuming your house went up 50% in value, it’s reasonable to assume a better house in a nicer area also went up by something near 50% in that time.

This is an assumption, but on average this is true.

If that’s the case, the extra wealth you have for purchasing the new home was simply having a convenient way to store your down payment while saving additional money each month in the form of your principal.

Some people do actually realize a good part of their gains by retiring to the countryside and keeping the lion’s share of their RE gains. But this is something you get to do more or less once, and it’s something generally done in one’s twilight years. Nothing to sneeze at of course, but it again doesn’t really dovetail with the notion of a means to become practically wealthy.

What do you think "outcompete" means in the context of evolutionary biology? Something is going to set up shop in your mouth; it's just too attractive an environment to be left fallow. Whatever that ends up being without intervention has by definition outcompeted all the other contenders. So if the good bacteria don't persist, then by definition they have not "outcompeted" the competition.
Because we're not having a moral argument but rather a practical one. The fact is that China emits much more CO2 than other countries, even after you account for exports (ie, CO2 emissions "offshored" from Europe and North America). Moreover: while emissions in the west are falling, the are rising in China and India and the developing world, as they must, because they track rising standards of living.

I don't understand the "25 smaller Chinas" argument. China sets statewide emissions policies. That's a reason we pay attention to country borders here, rather than considering an undifferentiated mass of humanity as a map scatterplot.

Ultimately, the reason to point out the gap between China and Europe or North America is that if you concentrate climate mitigation strategies on the west, you won't actually do much to solve the crisis. Fair's got nothing to do with it.
> Béziers can't represent circles. If you try to approximate one by hand, it'll look lopsided.

Many graphics algorithms (vector operations: scale, translate, rotate; raster operations like rasterisation and interpolation) specialise for straight lines (and hence also triangles), Bézier curves, circles, etc separately, rather than forcing everything to be a Bézier curve.
Your logical leaps “something can’t be true because people would sue”, are quite wild.

Short term thinking is why we are always on the knife’s edge of crisis.
From the photo it looks like it either has already hatched or something ate it, as the article also seems to suggest:

Depends how high your standards are! One of the things that makes playing old games on the original hardware really satisfying is how consistent they are.
I admire how nimble you are. I aspire to write blog posts at the drop of a hat like this, but I rarely do.

I also like the use of flake inputs for content.

It reminds me of a world that I've been imagining where the conclusions in scientific papers are generated as a flake outputs (an adjacent output would be the human readable thing, a PDF or whatever).

In this world, you can just run `nix flake update && nix build`, and if a paper that you cite published an update which invalidates your conclusion, you know right away because their output is your input, so your build fails.

We think about repeatable builds being for executable binaries, but they could equally well be for conclusions and assumptions.

Perhaps nix is too big of a hammer for the job, but it seems like the best shot we have at achieving this without also constraining the scientist re: tooling.

I realize that you don't want to be storing mountains of data in the nix store, but it would work just as well if the output in question is an IPFS CID, to be resolved during the build instead. The publisher can then be in charge of keeping that CID pinned and of notifying scientists when they're "build" starts failing.
does not answer the question
You're forgetting that the rebuild is only for survivors so it's a smaller scale.
Isn't there a tax policy where investors have to pay a tax when they sell shares? Therefore incentivizing them to keep investing in companies promising long-term stable growth (aka Amazon) over other companies with various growth strategies?
> Unclear to me what this has to do with doctors/scientists in general in your first contribution
> ... Cox wrote in his [1996] memo. "I felt that this tree's best purpose would be to serve scientific and educational programs."

Yes, your quote points out that Cox made the decision. But this is where you and I disagree deeply:

> Intensive study of the bristlecone was begun in the 1950s by scientist Edmund Schulman. In 1958, he announced in National Geographic the discovery of Methuselah Walk...the oldest of Schulman's trees had been alive at least 4,600 years, he reckoned.

Then of course later:

> In 1964, Currey was zeroing in on trees that seemed to be nearly as old as their California relatives. One in particular, which he called WPN-114, seemed to be very old indeed.

A thorough reading would show that Currey knew that this tree was extremely ancient; and likely why he was keen to get readings from it.

Which is of course also why this tree would serve a scientific purpose; but it's not at all clear that even for that time, cutting down the tree was necessary nor desirable to achieve this goal.

> When this student and his associate came upon the bristlecones at the timberline, they began to take core samples from several trees, discovering one to be over 4,000 years old! Needless to say they were excited, and at some point, their only coring tool broke. The end of the field season was nearing.

In other words, our geologist is being given a free pass for chopping down what he certainly knew was a very ancient and long-lived organism; simply for his PhD and because they didn't want to wait another year.

It's not as easy to visualize the tangent magnitude as you are suggesting, because the time parametrization makes the calculation fail - the curve doesn't travel forward at a constant rate. This is best seen with the second example: If the left handle is fully extended and the right handle is 0, the Bézier curve looks almost exactly the same as when the handles are reversed. Here's a picture: https://i.imgur.com/WkanN1G.png

The handle varies from 0 to full-strength, but the magnitude of the tangent vector stays constant. This means the handle doesn't decide the magnitude. Tracing the path in your head to visualize the changing tangent vectors would mean visualizing a competition between t^2, (1-t)^2t, and (1-t)^3, which I find difficult, even with some calculus knowledge.
The keyword is "romance" any romantic gesture tends to have zero utility.

Buying a car or a house for a woman is not romantic at all. in terms of "romance" women tend to be looking for a clear and unequivocal display of devotion.
It totally makes sense as a real-life conspiracy theory too, although I'm not super familiar with the ADA's exploits. Obviously, dentists have an enormous amount to lose if something like this ever escaped the laboratory, so to speak.

I've had touchscreen laptops for about 7years now. The only time that the touchscreen gets used is when somebody is showing me something, doesn't realize it's a touchscreen, and accidentally borks whatever we were looking at.

It's strange - I love to optimize my flow, but I just haven't yet hit a situation where my hands leaving keyboard and touching the screen is faster. (I'm a die-hard and proficient track point user,and my hands never leave keyboard, so maybe I'm a special weird case?)
> Humans didn't exist. I suspect most current plant/animal species are "devolved" by such swings.

The first apes evolved about 20 million years ago, when the world was much hotter. I suspect we can survive those conditions again.

And regardless of climate change, most current plant/animal species will go extinct (or already have) due to habitat destruction and mass exploitation. As a cause of mass extinction, that's a much bigger problem than climate change.
This is a lovely concept!
The vast majority of CO2 emissions are from burning fossil fuels to generate heat/energy on the ground. We already know cost effective alternative ways to do that. That's ~90% of the way there with no increase in costs.

We don't really have to "figure out" biofuels. They exist and are only moderately more expensive than fossil fuels. Institute a carbon tax and planes would run on biofuels and have 20-50% higher fuel costs, possibly less if cheap renewables lower energy costs in general and thereby the production cost for biofuels. On top of that, if petroleum fuels were only being used for aviation they might have lower economies of scale and higher prices, making biofuels more competitive.

One of last big things we still need to figure out is what to do about cement. But even there half of the CO2 attributed to it is energy use rather than the chemical process, which could be switched away from fossil fuels. Then we could use less concrete and more wood or steel. Or someone might come up with a cost effective alternative to cement in concrete. The incentive to do all of these would exist with a carbon tax.

The market is going to do whatever is most cost effective, even if it's only more cost effective by a modest percentage. But then all you need is a modest percentage in carbon tax and you're done.
I believe something similar happened with Margaret Mead. In "Coming of Age in Samoa", Mead made the wild (and completely bogus) claim that, in the state of "nature", adultery is not a problem. It's all free love, man. She ostensibly drew on what Samoans were telling her, but what they were telling her was apparently the result of their own impish sense of humor. If you look at what actually happened, you find reports of broken jaws and stabbings whenever, say, a Samoan husband discovered his wife in bed with another man.

We can presume that the problem here is a remarkable sloppiness and credulity on the part of Mead, but other scholars note that she was having (or had recently been in) an adulterous affair herself. A guilty conscience needs resolution, and resolution begins with admission of guilt and remorse, but when pride is in the mix, this cannot be. So projection and rationalization become very tempting. Mead appears to have chosen the later.

(Aldous Huxley made a similar point when remarking why he had, in his younger years, taken a nihilistic position with respect to meaning, namely, that he wanted a way to rationalize sexual revolution, licentiousness and lust. If nothing means anything, then why not sleep around and indulge what would otherwise be recognized as depraved sexual desires? Much of ideology involves some pathetic and embarrassingly domestic and mundane moral failing at its core that's been rationalized into a pompous edifice. Communism, for example, sprouts from envy, while rapacious capitalism from greed.)
I hope the author is not picturing developers using his engine.
The guy from the mach engine has also talked about issues dealing with Bézier curves and came up with a interesting set a primitives:
Triangles, quadratic curves and semi-circles.

Mostly this is make it easier to do vector graphics on a gpu, which is why I'm interested in it, but I think it might be easier to understand.
> That anime is popular in the US doesn't really mean that much.

I mean that's a nice reductive take of what I said

> The Japanese are really regimental, focused on obedience to higher-ups and employers, family honor, have a strict framework of written and unwritten rules... That couldn't be more different from the US (and most other western countries in fact).

What? This is about as true as saying America is sexually repressed or Sweden is a utopian paradise. It's a broad brush that speaks more to what is "taboo" in public relations, but there's a lot of Japanese people who would laugh at the idea that they fit into this box. Individuality is doing fine in Japan.

I don't see how "North Korea" is the only country that is an outlier to you here more extreme than Japan. Obviously India and most middle eastern countries are lightyears more family oriented and strict about obedience than Japan. Most East-Asian countries too.

OK. It's a better map that can keep some state. (I scanned not read your doc and that was my takeaway; I have not thought about what I can do with state yet, particularly since I had never associated transducers with being able to keep state)

Can you give me an example of a classic problem (since we're talking about transformations, raytracers and compilers come to mind) where if you involve a transducer vs a map you get an interesting difference?

Edit: 'How state is kept is not specified': I assume that there are limitations to state keeping, particularly with the composability and performance pillars of transducers, but I'm just having a really hard time synthesizing everything.
Viral marketing for the new alien movie
It says that it's actor-based, and sending messages to an actor is equivalent to running the actor function under a mutex, and thus reduces parallelism (in other words, you have N threads sending messages, but only 1 thread running the actor code, so it's just as serialized as a mutex), so while it may technically be "fully lock-free", using actors means that there is no parallelization improvement.
Thank you, this was very helpful! I read up on keepalived and the used protocols now!
If one thing comes from ADU related wins being that there is a decoupling of mortgage cost to rent then that should be massively encouraged everywhere. In fact give tax breaks to people who build them even. Basically the idea that in a time when mortgage rates are 7% plus on a 1M house, and somehow you can find a rental for less than whatever that would cost is so unlikely that you have tons of people fighting for the rare case when that happens. But with an ADU it’s just a random additional space that could easily house a couple of people and charging a low rent and low utilities for that seems super likely. In particular imagine the amount of older people who have a large enough back yard and might benefit a bunch from additional income and having a neighbor close by to look in on them occasionally.. seems like with the aging population in US it’s a win win.
