For me, I look back to the Amiga for this. Most actual work happened on individual screens, which match neatly to mostly tiled virtual desktops set up for individual tasks.

It was mostly on the Workbench we used floating windows, and while we had "sort-of" spatial, in that the position of windows were remembered if you chose, the if you chose (by choosing "snapshot") part meant you were free to move folder around knowing they'd be back where they should be when you opened them again. To me it's always been annoying that the attempts at spatial on Linux all took it to the extreme of remembering every change, which to me was always the biggest wart of these systems.

I absolutely like expanding screen size, and can't deal with peoples tendency to opt for tiny little laptops, but at the same time, I don't need all that much physical screen space for most things because everything happens on separate "screens"/virtual desktops the way it used to back on my Amiga.
AIUI, DP is around memorising the results of static functions for a particular input.

“Dynamic Programming is mainly an optimization over plain recursion. Wherever we see a recursive solution that has repeated calls for same inputs, we can optimize it using Dynamic Programming. The idea is to simply store the results of subproblems, so that we do not have to re-compute them when needed later”
At what point is the faulty generalization simply...a true generalization? Just because you don't want to believe it's true doesn't mean it's not true.

In ‘94 I was 11 and Magic was blowing up in my hometown - the 3rd (or Revised) edition had just come out. The local comic book stores would have Magic tournaments on Friday nights. Turnout would usually be 30-50 people and it was mostly grown ups. You would play a number of 1:1 matches and whoever had the best records at the end got to a final four. The winner of the tournament would get a high value card.

I played with an all red deck with quick spells to inflict major damage (Fireballs, Lightning bolts, etc…) and Forks to double the power of those spells. The grown ups didn’t like it because “it was a cheap strategy”.

I sold all my Magic cards in college - I really wish I would have kept those.

what do you mean by "just stupid". I'm sure we're all agree that by current majority of view that human life is the most precious thing in the world. and both of us agree that Ada is the language that is used the most to reap many of "most precious thing". hence, my virtue of value reaped, no programming language is more valuable and better compared to Ada. not even hippie languages with no spec no matter how hype they are can top that.

This brings up an aside I've been wondering about for years, when are we going to start mining our old landfills?
Irrespectively of the number of participants, there will only be a maximum of 1 terminators available for the BNC network.

It will take years until you can use Ethernet at a LAN party, because of the one poor guy who can't afford to upgrade from BNC.

There is always that one pr0n addict who watches it the whole weekend.

Everyone says they won't sleep the entire weekend, but at the first night all but one person are sound asleep.

At private LAN parties, there is only one person who has basic understanding of networking; it's never the person with the best PC, albeit the rich dude will talk like he knows more than the poor ones.
To me the comment feels genuine but slightly unclear. I think when they say “people want to live by concrete” they meant “people ultimately will choose to live by concrete” but I see that as less of a direct want and more of the result of a calculation of multiple wants. And I think they failed to address that distinction.
I hope you understand that we're way beyond data structures here now

Clearly this technology isn’t an alternative to curtailing emissions, but we do still need carbon in our post-fossil future (e.g. for steel making, and as an input to liquid fuel synthesis). It would be nice to get this from the air.
How large is the tolerance though? Would it be feasible to heat things up a little more from say 9:00 - 17:00 and using more electricity so that you don't need to heat (as much) during peak demand-supply imbalance? Even a couple of hours can help with the duck curve.
At some price it’ll get figured out.

I’m a bit on the fence about whether Zeihan is a crank or a prophet (and there doesn’t seem to be much middle ground), but serious people pay green money to have him speak. If he’s right, the difference between “expensive lithium even amortized” and “unreliable lithium at best even if someone has a gun to your head” is existential.

You're right I was sloppy in defining s to be an int, it should've been an unsigned type. My point was more about getting consistent behavior across platforms at (most often) zero cost, not to support arbitrary negative shifts.
Electric cars are better. Less moving parts/maintenance, quicker, 3x as efficient, can be charged nearly anywhere with existing infrastructure and no ongoing supply chain requirement (fuel delivery).

Energy density is steadily increasing. Hydrogen will be a short-term solution for medium/long haul flights, but will eventually be replaced by batteries.
I was an ardent manual film photography fan. Heck, I even bought a medium format camera. The hassle of developing film was too much even in the US. What won over digital is not just the freedom to click a million pictures, but the freedom to run your own darkroom on your PC/Mac.

What I really need now is a compromise. I want the freedom of my own digital darkroom but I need a fully manual and digital camera with an incredible 4-6 month battery life. So cut everything out of the camera that sucks battery - the LCD screen, the motors, just have the sharpest lens and the best sensor, bring back the optical viewfinder. In fact, I wouldn't even mind having film as a backup, in case the battery runs out.

Sure this will add a bit of weight and all that, but this will appeal to those photographers who love the process, and believe that the end result takes care of itself. I can't help but draw parallels to programming but I'll refrain from doing so.

Being at the right place at the right time, perhaps takes a week of backcountry hiking, so be it. I need a camera that doesn't run out of juice, and has zero lag, for that once in a lifetime shot.

On similar lines, we have auto focus and manual focus, 2 extremes why not a middle ground, assisted focus ?. Nikon AI and AI-P lenses had this ideology, but surely that didn't survive.
I like your poetic take. However, a border has meaning. Electron's charge doesn't. In fact, "electron" is an idea we invented to represent some physical prediction, while a border is a thing we made.

Armed men and brutality suck but if you think of countries as living beings (eg. country as anthill and citizens as ants, or country as human and citizen as cell/neuron) then it is kinda understandable.
Even better it just uses the waste heat from the cooling heat pump so it doesn't cost any extra to run
"Without any hacking" becomes less impressive (and less believable) as the chain of adapters gets longer and more expensive. HDMI capture dongles are cheap commodity items these days, but the Analogue Pocket and its dock are quite specialized and not exactly cheap. It's only possible to use the Game Boy camera with normal systems of today by outsourcing the hacking to the creators of some quite abnormal hardware.
Recognizing in others is easier than in oneself, that is really true. It took me years to recognize it in me and I am still on a trajectory. But then it _is_ this trajectory that life is about, isn't it?

Can feel like a superpower to help somebody out of cynicism and agree together that it is worth trying. Never give up.

> Homeowners are too politically powerful.

Could you be more specific, in what ways does one homeowner have more votes than one renter? Or if there are special elections where only homeowners can vote, could you give some citations to those?

AFAIK everyone gets one vote, regardless of home ownership status. Am I wrong?
Perfect Is the Enemy of Good
I was playing around with GPT a while back and I found that it could come up with some good jokes if I started the joke with a subject.

For example, I started with a prompt "Tell me a joke which starts with: I'm so poor, the mouse" and it completed the joke as:

"I'm so poor, the mouse in my house brings its own cheese."

Some other ones I still remember which cracked me up:

"I'm so poor, after I stepped on a cockroach, I called my accountant to see if I could claim it as a capital loss."

"You're so poor, when you declared bankruptcy, the rats in your house filed a claim for unpaid rent."

"You're so poor, you declared bankruptcy at a lemonade stand."

"You're so poor, when you walk, the dirt beneath you feels rich."

"You're so poor, dust whispers your name when it settles."

"Fickle as a squirrel at a nut convention!"

"Fickle as a dog in a fire hydrant factory!"

"Fickle as a flip-flop in a shoe shop sale!"

That's a surprise to me. Having lived and travelled across Eastern, Central and Western Europe a lot I never considered vending machines gross. The first vending machine I ever saw must have been a coca cola (or pepsi) vending machine in my primary school 30+ years ago. Then my high school too had a coca cola vending machine and then they were everywhere.

As they became more popular I started seeing them on gas/petrol stations, rail stations and many other places.

However, the kind of machines I talk about always dispense cold cans, sweets, crisps, sometimes packaged yoghurt, but never hot stuff.

Any time I encounter a hot vending machine they are always within some establishment like a gas station where you're supposed to pay first, you get a cup and then you go to the vending machine. The staff of the place is responsible for keeping it clean. However in busy places sometimes there is trash around them (people dropping sugar packets on the floor etc). So perhaps you meant this kind.
Those who can't get lithium will just use oil. Which will be cheap if electrification happens.
Exactly. Chemistry can be done that way, in batches. Chemical engineering cannot, it's not a batch process, it's all rate stuff.
Kudos! You saved yourself from a ton of nonsense. I myself had a similar reaction when at my last LAN party (age 18) i got motion sick and also caught a flue. It stopped me from playing video games for 15 years. Lucky me.
Plants also help increase in rainfall, which reduces CO2 in air by converting it into acid.
Question: I recently got an “inverter” based A/C and I see it has very smooth start up. Is that basically what I would call a brushless motor? Maybe the term inverter is being used because the original source is A/C?
The universe appears to be expanding close to e^t. If it continues to do so, each fundamental matter particle may end up isolated in a Hubble volume where the only photons from the rest of the universe have been red shifted to wavelengths larger than that Hubble volume.

The big WGPU project to improve concurrency wasn't finished then. All the texture loading that's requested from other threads currently goes into a work queue inside Rend3 executed by the refresh thread. Because the application is frantically loading and unloading textures at various resolutions as the camera moves, there's a stutter. There's too much texture content for it all to be in VRAM at high resolution all at once.
Vulkan allows concurrent loading of data. WGPU now does. (As of this morning, unless someone finds another blocking bug.) Rend3 next. Then I'll probably have to change something in my code. That's what I mean about problems down in the graphics engine room.

This is the metaverse data overload problem - many creators, little instancing. No art director. No Q/A department. No game polishing. It's quite solveable, though.

Those occasional flashes on screen are the avatar (just a block in this version) moving asynchronously from the camera. That's been fixed.
Unfortunately, physics says battery-powered cars have won.

Using solar to power a process to make a fuel before burning a fuel that at best (way less in reality) uses 2x more energy than just powering an electric motor directly is not sensical.

My point is that 25, 100, or 5000 years is not a long time in this case. The also issue with wood is not that it "cannot be part of the solution". The issue is that it is part of green-washing "solutions" that always calm people down for a bit because something is being done. then nothing else happens for 10 years.

Also I live in a house made from wood, stone, straw and dirt. Depending on how you count its about 400 years old. before that it burned to the ground once. And the Wooden parts aren't actually that old they have been replaced as recently as 100 years ago. the inside has been redone in the 80ies tho and a lot of the wood got taken out.

Its silly to argue for wood as a storage medium even on the basis of that.

Literally all ideas about man made climate change are quickly revealed to be just fantasy if you think about one simple thing: how much CO2 do we need to produce to change the global climate?

The answer is that we need to produce almost 10B tonnes of CO2 every year. That's something on the order of 1500 great pyramids of Giza (which weighs 6M tonnes) worth of carbon every year.

true, but the api is very stable
Air is only about 0.04% CO2. A kg of air is about 820 liters. To get 1kg of CO2 out of that, you need to process about 2M liters of air. Or about 2 billion liters of air for 1 tonne of CO2. Assuming you can extract all of it of course.

The sad reality with carbon capture is that it's an excuse to put more carbon into the atmosphere than is actually being captured. The oil and gas companies pump billions into capturing carbon are not interested in efficiencies. They are merely interested in making many billions more on dumping more carbon in the atmosphere. If that ever gets close to what they produce, their cost will be so high that they will be out of business. The goal with this is merely delaying that moment. The cynical bit is of course that they are using lots of government subsidies to pretend to capture tiny amounts of carbon. A significant portion of the IRA (1 trillion $) has been earmarked for, once more, fattening the pockets of oil and gas industry.

All the carbon capture in the world to date doesn't add up to anywhere close to more than absolutely irrelevant token amounts of carbon relative to the amount we're continuing to put into the atmosphere. This amount btw. continues to grow year on year. We've merely slowed the pace at which the increase is growing. That growth is showing signs of maybe starting to decrease very soon. We'll still be putting out a larger amount of carbon every year though. We're decades away from turning that growth into actually net removing carbon. And we'll need to keep that up for centuries before it turns around current trends in global warming.

But stopping the burning of oil and gas, which is now very doable, would be a nice start. That's billions of tonnes per year of co2 that we don't have to remove from the atmosphere. Orders of magnitude more than these companies will ever capture. The best way to capture carbon is to leave it in the ground and not burn it.

You don't need to build carbon capture plants near people, you can build them anywhere in the world.

So you can put them in places where you have the potential for large amounts of cheap renewable energy that would otherwise be unused. Build solar plants in the middle of the desert, build tidal and wind generation on remote islands. There are plenty of places where green energy projects never got off the ground simply because the cost of transmitting it to places with energy demand was cost prohibitive.

The bigger problem is that simply removing CO2 from the atmosphere is not enough, you have to actually store it somewhere and be confident it will stay locked up for centuries, otherwise the effort is wasted.

This is supposed to be against app store policy, but I haven't found a clear way to report these sorts of violations. You can contact a regular support person, but in my experience they just say that if the app passed approval, then I must be incorrect.

The McDonald's app does some similar BS. You can't do anything in the app without granting the "precise GPS" permission, using a digital coupon in-store requires full GPS permission. If you use the "Ask me each time if I want to share" option, it will still reject you and tell you it needs to be always-on.
It’s my impression that the coffee is stored cold and only heated up when you order it…?

I tried with the following function that produce the power set, the set of all possible subset, in the similar spirit of the function that create all the possible permutations:

Explain simply what this function does:

```
def func(ls):
if len(ls) == 0:
return [ [] ]
elif len(ls) == 1:
return [ [], ls ]
else:
x = ls[-1]
prem = func(ls[:-1])
p = prem[:]
for e in prem:
p.append(e + [x])
return p
```

GPT-4 aced the answer which is remarkable but I think that it is because it have seen this "pattern" in its learning database being a fundamental function in mathematics.

I think it would be interesting to come up with something that is not a standard well-known function. I have to think to something else.

A simple calculation of energy immediately reveals the entire endeavor as complete nonsense: more energy is spent producing and capturing the carbon than simply modifying the process to produce less carbon.
