> At peak, renewables provide up to ~90% of California's electricity

In fact, renewable generation regularly hit more than 100% of load in California during April and June of this year. The peak was 132% of load [0]!

How can generation be more than 100% of load? California was exporting power to other regions.

We track all this data and more across the United States at Grid Status: https://www.gridstatus.io/home

Can second this. Tried them out at our startup, came away unimpressed. Their good engineering blog is great marketing though, although this particular post is lacklustre. What about permissions, indirections, versioning or otherwise encapsulating breaking changes?
Wholesale electricity prices are based on the marginal cost of electrical generation. As a result, wholesale costs will generally be driven by the cost of natural gas generation.
As a recent university graduate, yes you're exactly right. I know plenty of people who'd skip class in order to grind Leetcode or job interview prep or whatever. It did make it so CS students in general were less passionate about their subject than my peers in other subjects.

Buzzword is probably not the right word. Reading this, I was left with the unique feeling that there were both too many words, but also not enough. I suspect it’s because I’m both missing context and easily confused. And that’s fine, probably. Apologies if I came off rudely.

The various AIO LC/Performa models and the G3 Molar Mac are particularly susceptible to brittle plastics with how heavy the integrated CRTs in those are. Have seen too many disaster photos where someone had bought one of those on eBay only to have it arrive in a million pieces due to the stresses of shipping. Definitely the sort of thing one should only buy locally.
> Unless there is an equivalent OpenBSD bug

Maybe there isn't such a huge intersection between BSD and Mullvad users? It would seem though that Mullvad might try to see if the problem narrows down to the BSD implementation, but that's hard to know if they haven't stated that explicitly.
Front end dev is a real discipline. Massive respect for the amount of crap they put up with from their tools.

Who downvoted you? This is correct; the better the lossy compression, the better the lossless compression as well.

Ahh you are right!
I literally just went through this process last year. My wife is a doctor and signed a job contract 1 year out. 9 months before her start date, we stumbled on the perfect house and put an offer in. This was 1 state over.

As part of the process, we had to demonstrate that the new house would be my primary residence, that we would be selling the old house when my wife’s old contract end, and that my wife actually intended to move to the new house full time.

This process required an internal exception review and risk mitigation above the banks normal process (the old house was with them so we knew their mortgage process). It took a lot of time with them to convince them that we were not trying to purchase a second, vacation home - we simply bought early. If we did not sell the old house, they were going to force us to refinance as a second home or investment home.

My understanding is the situation changed the federal government’s opinion of our risk and, in turn, our mortgage’a qualification for federal mortgage programs (which our bank uses to back the mortgages). If an audit occurred, the bank had to demonstrate they did not provide me with two primary residence mortgages.
They haven't presented it as an impossible-to-solve problem, though. They have presented it as something they are evaluating doing.
Thanks so the ballpark estimation of how "intensive" it can be is 1 or 2 measure a day from a local sensor and transmission over 4g ?
I don't think any of these things imply civic sense. At best, it shows a man with decent business acumen. At worst, he's an opportunist and a reactionary who has substantially degraded the level of political and social discourse of the country he lives in.

Of the things you've highlighted, Starlink has perhaps the strongest case for being evidence of civic sense. But that case is a potential one; in practice, Starlink (and Musk's vision) has yet to impress[1][2].

Yes but. It turns out that PV solar wins on maintenance by a lot; since you don't have to run hot water pipes and keep the solar heater from leaking. With a reasonable system design you can pretty much just connect the wires to your heater element.

You're very much missing the visual artistry of the movie, and focusing too much on literal story telling. You can do that if you like, but the visual aspects are why this movie belongs on this list.

One way to approach film making is to see it as the art of moving objects in 3d space, then using a camera to transpose those objects onto a 2d plane. Take the resultant series of images, and splice / edit them into a feature film. Fury Road is a masterclass in this craft. Every frame a painting and all that. Every edit is perfect.

In psychoacoustics, one of the most important aspects of how lossy compression works is that they throw away sounds that a human can't even hear, because it's too short or subtle to be noticed. This is the difference between data and knowledge. Someone with perfect pitch and a good memory knows exactly what Don't Stop Me Now by Queen sounds like, and it's a lot smaller than digitizing an LP record in mint condition.

This person can cover that song, and everyone will be happy, because they have reproduced everything that makes that song what it is. If anything we might be disappointed because it's a verbatim reproduction (for some reason we prefer cover songs to introduce their own flavor).

If I ask you to play Don't Stop Me Now and you sound like alcoholic Karaoke, you haven't satisfied the request. You've lost. Actually we've all lost, please stop making that sound, and never do that again.

It's also weird that the author can set up this thought experiment such that consequentialists are not able to consider the punishing of innocents as part of the outcome. The entire argument seems to hinge on them only being able to assess morality by the outcome, but a specific step in a process can also be present in the outcome.

Process: you punish innocents

Outcome: societal effects + you have punished innocents.

So I totally see where you are coming from. To keep things somewhat scientific I ask myself a bunch of questions and roll a 2d20. For every five questions I get one saving roll. Then to filter out the results I consult 3 different magic eight-balls and note the results. I strive to get the lowest P-value otherwise I discard the data. I think all the years of watching "Look Around You" embedded a sense of scientific rigor in me.

This is in line with why are we replacing fossil fuels with solar.

It was never a quality of life play, it's some sort of altruistic effort / dumbness deciding to be the suckers kind of thing.

California for sure cares about them Californians who'd be alive 150 years from now more than those who are alive right now. Actually not even that, given that the atmosphere is one for everybody, they care more about Indians and Chinese who'd be alive 150 years from now than Californians who struggle and are 'alive' right now.
> My argument for gold (if you even want to call it that) is more to keep politicians in check from printing more money where "printing more money" really means a politicization of the financial industry and increasing wealth inequality.

The Gilded Age, when income inequality in the US and EU was at its highest, occurred during the Gold Standard:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilded_Age

The US has returned to those levels of wealth concentration, but having paper currency backed by gold didn't prevent the first round. Further, there was much more wealth inequality, with the aristocracy, when gold and silver coins were the actual currency (rather than paper notes).

No. In fact there are limits but unless you've already written a 'perfect compression tool' you can't actually know the limit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov_complexity is ultimately what you're looking for btw. Shannon is more about limits in transmission speed given noise but Kolmogorov dealt with the limits of compression which is actually unknowable.

The only takeaways you need from this:

- Your on-premise customers are the smart ones. Networks containing sensitive information should be isolated, not all pooled together.

- Google still has actually no understanding of practical security. Literally ban their products from your networks.
> It is not so difficult to imagine a modern society where activities such as vacuuming and DIY chores only take place during the day. It is certainly not a return to the Middle Ages.

in the Middle Ages, modern technologies weren't available, and once the sun set, a candle gave light. Showering wasn't popular.

So effectively, the discussed "make the most of daylight modern society" feels like a step back to the Middle Ages to me.

I think I would like to have safe housing, healthcare, nutritious food, and clean water more than "driving and farming meat" but I guess we all have our priorities.

I think that can definitely be sustainable indefinitely, but not so long as companies and cultures are unable to make any kind of real concessions to reality. We should not be using plastic. For basically anything. We should never have started. We should barely be using cars. We should never have started. We should not be eating nearly as much meat as people do in rich countries. We'd use a fraction of the agricultural area and be healthier to boot. Yet somehow meat being cheap is a god-given right?

I object to lots of things that reality forces me to deal with.

"An engineer, a physicist and a mathematician have to build a fence around a flock of sheep, using as little material as possible.
The engineer forms the flock into a tight circular shape and constructs a fence around it.
The physicist builds a fence with an infinite diameter and pulls it together until it fits around the flock.
The mathematician thinks for a while, then builds a fence around himself and defines himself as being outside.”

Am I misstating the data? Which literally shows more virus exhaled by 95% of all vaccinated versus 95% of unvaccinated?

And where do they state that vaccinated exhale less than unvaccinated? Specifically, where do they say that? They show the total range of exhaled values is larger for unvaccinated, but the 95% range is higher for vaccinated.

It looks dangerously like you are forcing the reading for what you want the truth to be. Not for what the data supports. Note that i want that same value for the truth. I just don't see the data supporting it. And the paper seems to agree, as they are not making as strong of a claim as you are.
Easy -- No one is ever punished for anything and crime gets to the point that society crumbles, because as humans we cannot enact a justice system that does not occasionally punish innocent people.

Slightly less easy, but closer to current reality: For "don't knowingly punish innocent people" -- enact a justice system that is terrible at fact finding (or has gross bureaucratic and procedural inefficiencies), so that you punish a lot of innocent people but never do so knowingly.

Easy again: For "don't punish innocent people, knowingly or otherwise -- you have no criminal justice system that is workable within these constraints in the real world.
Did not know this, but from the docs [0]: "Lone Wolf Technology [1] offers Switch, PS4 and XBox One porting and publishing of Godot games."

Question: if pflog1 isn't created, does pf work as expected?

Since tcpdump presumably isn't logging anything going out of pflog1, it implies that the data isn't being sent to pflog1. That implies that it's something upstream from there.

Was pflog1 plumbed and/or pulled up? Back in the day you used to have to plumb and pull up an interface manually. Does MacOS do that for you?

Granted, isolating this isn't the bug reporter's job. But at some point the engineer will be asking these questions, so you might as well answer them.
Yes I was also enjoying to explore the implications of the thought :)

According to Wikipedia[1], "Angola" was (allegedly) to be printed on the notes later:

I wrote a blog post and submitted it to HN yesterday. At first the upvotes were coming in quickly and it even got to the front page, but then some comments started saying that it's '100% written by AI' and it ended up being flagged. I wrote the entire thing with no use of AI, and only used chatgpt to proofread it.

I think it's amusing how people are paranoid about wasting time reading something that was generated by AI, and I can relate to it. But it was strange seeing how sure some people were that it was written by AI, when in fact it wasn't.

If you use their wireguard servers, you can use wireguard directly (no Mullvad) app, and this is probably not an issue? I'm not certain and don't have a (modern) Mac, so I can't test. Just a reminder that it's nothing proprietary and the app is optional I suppose.
Oh, not at all. I thought you were rather courteous. Not digging something I write is perfectly acceptable, imho. Also, "there were both too many words, but also not enough" is a perfectly reasonable takeaway. I will try to do better next time.
> majority of greenhouse gas emissions

To be extra precise, human initiated greenhouse gas emissions. My understanding is about half of the emissions are natural and there's little we can do about their emission (but can do about their sequestration). Of course that doesn't/shouldn't stop us from addressing the half we can :)

No. Ionity is a joint venture by a number of car companies and has deployed many 350 kW chargers throughout Europe:

https://ionity.eu/en/ionity/who-we-are

You seem to be looking at this from a warped North American perspective. You need to understand that Europe is years ahead of North America in charging infrastructure.

Tesla's V3 chargers kind of suck compared to chargers from manufacturers like Alpitronic or Kempower. Here are 400 kW Alpitronic (on Fastned) and Kempower (on Shell) chargers. Faster speeds, longer cables, higher voltage than Tesla offers:

To establish bounds in this way, you have to start with some claim about the distribution of the input data. In this case, the data is natural human language, so it's difficult or impossible to directly state what distribution the input was drawn from. Even worse, the prize is for compressing a particular text, not a sample from a distribution, so tight bounds are actually not possible to compute.

There is some discussion on the Hutter prize page, under "What is the ultimate compression of enwik9?"

It's not just because it's abysmal, it's because it was found, empirically, not to work, no matter how good you make it. The mitigation you're describing is also susceptible to lapses and social engineering, just like what got them into trouble in the first place.

The simpler mitigation of 'the target employee with with the Google account full of auth secrets should have had it U2F protected' would have worked even if the phone person had just read out the target's Google password to anyone who called and asked for it.

They could have enforced that with a checkbox in their GSuite admin console.

I was indeed surprised to see it go by in the mix during one of my wife's c-sections. I'd always thought it was a completely useless thing, but there it was keeping her blood pressure stable under the anesthetics.
And even that's not true.

It's governed by the eyeballs of whoever has the most power and the biggest stick. We don't, for instance, know what the actual rates of theft is in a civilization because we cannot accurately discern lost belongings from stolen belongings. Anyone who tells you they think they know the number is absolutely full of shit. A truly crafty thief makes you think you lost something, used it up, or threw it away. In which case there is no report, because as far as you know nothing happened. The better the criminals, the bigger the disparity between the reality of theft and the perception of theft.

I can't beat you with a stick if you're dumping toxins somewhere I can't see. And it's no good beating your successors once you're dead, or you once you're very old, because there is no lesson to learn there except that you can get away with bad things for 30 years, so time your crimes accordingly.
