Editing, categorizing, archiving, searching, and viewing my photos and videos isn't bloat though, it's one of the major reasons why I have a computer. There's far more to computers than just entering text on a local filesystem and compiling small applications.
I don’t hibernate for the other half of the year. I continue to cycle when weather permits. I might have been able to carry enough groceries for myself in two panniers, but it’s not practical for enough food my family.

The article acknowledges the possibility of people LARPing in a more contemporary context.

I find this plausible, too: I can imagine groups of people getting together recreationally and fantasizing about how they're going to overthrow the fascist mayor, or kill all the Jews, or whatever else. With their real guns and tactical gear, because those look cool. With a badass logo, maybe with some skulls in it. But with no intention of ever actually acting out those fantasies.
Just for FIY: First layer BTC takes 7 minutes, but lightning network (2nd layer) takes a couple of seconds. There are a handful of other cryptos with sub-second transaction speed. It's honestly pretty impressive for such fast consistency in a highly distributed network. I wouldn't expect anything less for a more centralized solution though, so it's not exactly the "selling point" of such a system. Just that it can keep up under most scenarios.
If there are microbes on/in Europa, I think they're most likely from Earth.

You just need one rock with live microbes to splash into the Europa ocean, and over 4 billion years, many such rocks must have been knocked off Earth.

That's because "real knots" depend heavily on the material they are tied in.

Many knots that work well in a hemp rope won't hold in slippery dyneema, even fewer will hold in fishing line.

Mathematics wouldn't be the right field to investigate with such physical properties, so they simplify and remove the need for those properties altogether. Mathematical rope is infinitely stretchy and slippery.
A lot of people here, and the original article, don't seem to realize what people that use "LARPing" mean when they say it. It's a disparaging term used to describe when somebody isn't going to actually pursue or follow through on something. Somebody with a bunch of tactical gear that's constantly running shooting drills and talking about joining a war in the Middle East or Eastern Europe, but never actually does, is "LARPing". Somebody that acts like they're getting lots of money and women when they're not, is "LARPing". There's no connection with actual LARPing other than it being the butt of the joke, and anybody saying it about themselves is basically just saying they're a bullshitter trying to pass themselves off as doing something or preparing to do something they never will, which isn't a criminal defense.

The greatest sin of the engineer is to believe that superior technology is all that's needed to succeed.
Doesn't sound like there is any security. He mentions a privacy curtain.
Some form of DNA, RNA, and proteins are all technically inevitable because they're just polymers built up of standard monomers just like complex carbohydrates, fiber, plastics, waxes, etc. It's just an accident of history that carbon based life on earth settled on the specific nucleotides and amino acids. What's likely to be the most different is the transcription and translation machinery.

On the nucleotide side there are synthetic creations like Hachimoji DNA [1] and xDNA [2] and a grand total of over 500 (!) amino acids have been found in nature but only 22 are encoded in DNA. IIRC it's mostly a question of the initial conditions on Earth, specifically the acidity and temperature that decides the possible chemistry available to evolving life.

IMO that's not really about commute-costs as much as about bargaining-power, labor relations, and competitive markets.

Commute costs are kind of like inflation: In the very long term it's balanced by wages... but there's a lot of living that happens at shorter timescales. The longer before the situation is renegotiated, the more time one side has to exploit the imbalance.
It was already promising like 2 years ago or whatever when I played with it but not quite ready for prime time.

No, in Japan, it really is everyone. All kinds of commercial entities also use LINE to communicate with customers even.

Yes, if you want to talk to people in other parts of the world, you'll need a different app for that, because different parts of the world tend to use different apps (e.g., Chinese all use WeChat, Europeans seem to use WhatsApp, etc.). If you just want to talk to people in Japan, LINE is all you need. (Taiwan too, I think)
I was at labtam/access-1 and connect with a bunch of people across this time. Stressful at the time, better memories now. The deployment of the first squid caches and their ultimate effect on the bottom line was .. amazing.

Wiring up country Qld towns was an eye opener for a city boy. People were literally crying, getting high speed local service delivery, having been on the end of a long-line ISDN service back to Brisbane instead of a local in-town feed.
Yeah. Originally when those people refused to wear masks I quietly wished them death. But after awhile I got more tired of hearing educated people pretend that their intellect was keeping them alive more than their economic leverage was. Rooting for the ignorant to die of covid was a bad look. Granted, we also had a president who said he loved the uneducated, so it all took place at a moment when that line could be drawn in a certain way. In any event, the snobbish castigation of people who don't understand science or math didn't help and actually hurt the cause of getting them to protect themselves and everyone else.
It's interesting that Temporal is not addressed in this

Neither of those things are obvious. 700$/month is more than enough for an apartment with 1.5 bedrooms where I live. This seems nightmarish.

Not ideal, but a step in the right direction. We used to have SROs -- Single Room Occupancy -- units for singles, childless couples, retirees. We've torn down about a million of them since WWII.

We need to update the concept and bring it back in some fashion. If your life is online, you don't need that much space.

the PoC is production
You basically correctly identified the main reasons plasma gasification has not been viable and why it won’t be viable until these issues are resolved.

My inquiry basically amounts to whether anyone is working on these problems. There was a big push 10-20 years ago, but it seems people have given up.

There is plenty of land for landfills, but nobody wants them nearby. The bigger problem, however, is that in the long run, the encapsulations will all fail. It’s not a matter of if; it’s a matter of when. Until then, there are ongoing maintenance costs (such as mowing because you can’t let trees get root) that can add up quickly.

Someone has to work on this technology because it will eventually be needed for remediations (it already is needed for old, unlined landfills). It needs to capture the high-value metals (as you mentioned) and it needs to be economical in terms of initial capital costs as well as being at least energy neutral.

It doesn’t necessarily have to produce net energy since it can generate revenue the same way a landfill does (tipping fees), but it would be nice to at least get close to energy break even.

Anyway, I guess people have given up on this problem for now, sadly.
Active Queue table and then archive jobs to a JobDone table? I do that. Queue table is small but archive goes back many months
I always forget that my online experience predates the internet: I occasionally will stumble across old articles or postings where my email address is given in three or four formats because it would be addressed differently depending on whether someone was send me email from BITNET, ARPANET or UUCP. The transition to modern standardized hostname hierarchies and DNS happened in the late 80s which removed some of that awkwardness at least. I had a number of correspondents in Australia back then when their email addresses all ended with .oz (IIRC this remained a TLD in the early internet days before ultimately being superseded by .edu.au). The intrinsic quirkiness of using .oz as their TLD was in itself an indication that Australian internet users were very much in a class of their own.

Skype used postgres as queue with a small plugin to process all their CDR many years ago. I have no idea if it used these days but it was 'web scale', 10 years ago. Just working, while people on the internet argued about using a database as a queue is an anti-pattern.

Having transactions is quite handy.

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/SkyTools

I did a few talks on this at Sydpy as I used it at work quite a bit.
It's handy when you already have postgresql running well and supported.

This said, I'd use a dedicated queue these days. Anything but RabbitMQ.
Our industry is full of shysters pushing their own technology. Time and again, it turns out that a RDBMS will handle that job just fine. That's really the premise of this article.

So please, go on and back up your bold statements with some specifics. Why specifically is it not OK to use a database as a message queue?
According to local news reports, they're renting the robocop for $9 an hour.
I completely agree with your last sentences but I guess this is still quite a bit in the future and I am not convinced that everyone would get what they need even if we would completely automate the economy. Even with complete automation there will still be limited resources and I would almost bet that some people will use all their powers to get some more stuff for themselves and the expense of everyone else.

With regards to the seasonal workers, you are of course right. I replied to so many comments that probably most of them ended up not very clear. What I had in mind was that if you would not overpay in some area you would have more money left for other things, so you could more easily decide to buy things produced under better conditions with more fair wages or whatnot.

You would probably also see less need to push back in case of price increases, say you could be more supportive of seasonal workers unionizing to demand better wages or whatever. So I did not want to say that wages have to increase, but not throwing money out of the window for app subscriptions would give you more freedom for other buying decisions that could lead to an improvement.
Sounds like I should have issued a trigger warning.

May I recommend informing yourself as absolutely nothing you wrote is true.

Do not chain to another google account if you can avoid it. The risks here are huge: if you lose control of one, And google decide it's tainted, you may lose control of the other.

Outlook.com may be a sensible alternate. Low barrier to entry. I am in pobox.com and have used fastmail (which owns pobox now) which has some upsides: pobox is a redirection service not really a mailbox but it provides carrier-independence.

Don't home it in an ISP email box you can lose, if you stop using that ISP.

Hard links are tags.

A file is just a big lump of data with an address(the inode)

A name is then linked to the data(If you wanted you could call it a tag, it is almost exactly the same thing).

If the data needs more metadata go ahead and link additional names to it. Note that no name is the "real name" with hard links they are all equal.

I built a whole music database once where all the metadata and playlists were hardlinks... The main problem encountered was you had to be very careful archiving the structure, it tended to explode into a million duplicate files(this is probably why people don't use hardlinks)
Honestly, based on my life experience, I disagree with quite some criteria that the FBI uses here to distinguish between LARP and Violent Extremism:

Audience: "Spectators accepted or desired" vs "Secrecy demanded"

Quite some LARP people who want to avoid spectators, since quite some conservative or religious people tend to associate some fantasy stuff to be "satanistic" or "sacrilegious". Thus, to avoid really annoying discussions, they prefer no spectators.

Components: "Features of organized gaming (e.g., rules, character sheets, scenario scripts, in- and out-of-character designations)" vs "Absence of documented rules, character sheets, scenario scripts, in- and out-of-character designations; all “characters” are frontline fighters or operational support personnel"

There exist LARP system where there exist many rules, but also those where such things are handled in a more "loose"/"spontanous"/"improvisatory" way.

Relationship with law enforcement: "No concern with law enforcement in out-of-character life" vs "Demonstrated concern with law enforcement and prosecutions of similar criminal behavior"

Of course, those who distrust the law enforcement (often for good reasons) are suspicious to be extremists - that is what the FBI claims ;-) . Seriously: there likely exist LARP players with about any possible stance concerning law enforcement.

Equipment: "realistic prop weapons often discouraged in the rules"

It depends on the LARP system whether these are discouraged or encouraged.

Personal grievance: "No personal grievance toward out-group(s) outside the voluntary, fantasy world" vs "Personal grievance toward out-group(s) believed to pose an imminent and existential threat, requiring violent action" and Mood: "Euthymic and joyful; anticipatory fantasy to enjoy the event" vs "Dysphoric and angry; anticipatory fantasy to harm or kill the target(s)"

This depends a lot on the setting of the LARP: of course some cyberpunk, horror or dark-fantasy themed LARP will be much more dark than, say, some high fantasy or utopic science-fiction setting.
Yeah this photos and most shared on the internet these days are all heavily edited to the point where you can't tell if they've been run through several apps or even had new elements like birds, lighting or even clone stamped all impurities out.

It's quite depressing, this is coming from another photographer. Real photography is circling the drain.
We can make it a word game if you like but as long as the means of production is no longer privatized I’d be happy.
while there is certainly merit to the idea that they invest in founders over ideas, its scope is more to founders within an idea rather than wholly.

your statement fails to consider the possibility that the pool of applicants to YC are not great and the demographic of such founders are bad founders who are easily swayed by hype into fragile and failing topics such as "AI" and crypto.

in the situation where the applicant pool of ideas is in fact incredibly diverse, then it supports the thesis even moreso because it would show YC went with "AI" founders over other founders, regardless of their quality as potential business owners.

Related is that china's manufacturing is more focused on low cost labour, rather than high skill, intricate (and thus higher cost) work.

Surprisingly, an ICE car is more intricate, and has more labour intensive parts that require a high skill labour force. Things like engine block manufacturing (and design), spark plugs, etc.

Battery EV are actually low labour - after all, motors are not "intricate", as they don't need to contain explosions!

I think that china has, prior to BEV, tried to reach the same level of car manufacturing as europe (ala germany), but has found that no matter what economic policies they put in place, the labour and value chain in china just cannot catch up to the well established ones in europe.

It actually makes sense that china abandon the ICE manufacturing sector, because the BEV sector at the time had no competition, and capitalism (and the innovator's dilemma) has prevented ICE car manufacturers from entering until they see the real demand - but by then, china has fully controlled the supply chain of critical components such as the batteries, minerals and capacity.

I do not believe that europe (or the US) can really catchup without a major shift in technology of the battery.

This doesn't seem like a safe setup.

How long before tweakers and others start lighting fires in their pods?
My favorite story, possibly not true, about alternative sleeping quarters is from the days of sailing:

Sailors who were too drunk to make it back to their ships after a long evening at the tavern would to a room in the back of the tavern,

In that room would be two ropes stretched from wall to wall:

1. about waist height

2. just below armpit height.

The top rope was slightly offset, horizontally, from the bottom rope.

Apparently the idea was that you would walk up to the bottom rope, lean forward and drape your head and arms over the top rope. The top rope would sit under your armpits and would hold you up while you slept off the night of boozing.

That makes these "capsule" rooms seem not so bad.
No, lots of the lighting flare on the right is most likely edited in like most photos on the internet these days. It's a nice shot but people keep pushing the limit and trying to out compete each other... the best way? Add interesting "lighting".
The answer to your question is exactly the amount it takes to rent a co-working space. So maybe 100-300 a month.
Be careful, rusting cars are often structurally unsound. It's fine if the shell is rusted, but you don't want too much rust (beyond general surface corrosion) on the skateboard.

I don’t need any of my past emails. If they’re gone they’re gone.
This article is apt for me. I just had to battle some rust on a cross member under my car. It has some rust that I removed with a wire wheel, sanding a rust converted. I primed it and painted it and how waiting to install it. I guess I should expect to be doing this dance every 5 years give I live in the North East.
I should have probably gotten the thing powder coated and call it a day(or life time)
Sales strategies optimize for groups of buyers, so we have pay per packet in categories. Some vendors market products based on traffic patterns, like unlimited transfer at a fixed throughput, limited transfer at unlimited throughput, rate-limited protocol layers, etc. You can absolutely find buyers who want to throw money at you for 100% utilization and then spend all their time in vain trying to get it to not be terrible.
I will not live in the pod. I will not eat bugs.
Considering Dutch is the nearest (major) linguistic neighbor, that makes a ton of sense.
Hype cycles have downsides no one is arguing about, but they don’t seem avoidable so I try to focus on the fact a bunch of people are going to get subsidized long enough to pivot to something durable and positive.

Even after you strip off the 80% “and then LangChain connects to a different API” stuff, this technology is still massive and it’s here to stay.

Why exactly? Doesn’t seem like much fun.

I don’t imagine a lot of catastrophic things that might happen to me. If really really bad things happen they happen. Some I work really hard to prevent. Others might happen and I don’t do anything to prevent them. Most things are somewhere in the middle.
