All countries individually - sure. But the Sun is not intermittent. The planet just spins. You put enough solar panels on enough geographical locations (and connect them together) you get permanent solar without storage.
Solar has a limited economic lifetime but it is in terms of centuries, not years. Panels just don't degrade that quickly in practice, and even when they do degrade at higher rates than expected, it's irrelevant to the economics of the projects. You'll be hard-pressed to find a large-scale solar power station that has been retired, even among the oldest of them.
I assume from the question that you think I think newspapers archives means online archives.

I don't, they can be offline, just as they were prior to the internet.

If you meant anything else: I wouldn't distinguish between any search engines, large or small… but I'm also not a lawyer or a lawmaker, so I have a paper-thin awareness of the consequences of my suggestion that even ChatGPT can probably poke holes in if only it weren't so sycophantic.
Wow, the Arizona area is disappointing to say the least. All that sun and almost no solar power.
(From 2007, if I'm reading the headers correctly.)

One wonders just how dim some lawyers might be, for scholarship.law.upenn.edu to feel that it needs to fully explain that "Makeus Lotsof Monnie, LLP" is not the name of a real law firm. With a full section heading. On the second page.

Also interesting: Pfizer is cited on the 3rd/4th page as putting strong pressure on law firms to recruit/retain/promote woman & minority lawyers. Last that I recall hearing, Pfizer and several other large pharma firms were fanatically pro-discrimination in their customer-facing sales rep positions - either you were an extremely attractive younger woman, or you did not get the job.

Given the number of legal cases, lawyers, etc. mentioned in the paper - I have to wonder why large companies would be explicit about this sort of via-law-firm discrimination. Vs. learning who the law firm's "more diverse" attorneys were (photos on the firms "Our Attorneys" web page?), then "by chance" interacting with a few of those, then insisting that one of those handle your business - giving whatever flimsy excuse seemed convenient. "We bonded over both having 5th-grade teachers with hard-to-pronounce last names" doesn't raise any legal or ethical issues. And you don't enter into a relationship with an attorney or law firm because you want more legal or ethical issues.
NATO would only intervene if Serbia invades. I think that was clear in the original post. I suggest you work on your reading comprehension skills.

And limited PCIe lanes.

Though theoretically that will stop being an issue when it’s viable to only hand the gpu 4-8 pcie 5.0 lanes and 1-2 lanes to an nvme drive or two. Then there would be plenty left over for other things.
If a company is giving you “50 K$” of training and you are “paying it back” through your work over 5 years then you are actually getting paid 10 K$ more and the company is withholding the amount from your paycheck like how you might elect to directly pay into a 401(k). So, logically, at the end of the 5 year period you should be getting a 10 K$ raise since you no longer need to withhold for training costs, right?

The problem with these job training payment schemes is not that they are immoral on their face, it is that they are accounting and financial nonsense.

If you want to be a welder, that requires training. If you do not have enough money, you can get a loan. If you want to reduce the risk, you can work at a company that will guarantee you a job for a period of time if you complete the training. If you want to spend the money on things other than paying down the loan, then you can do that. Money is fungible and personal, training should also be fungible and personal.

That is at least sane model. You may also disagree with that as well, and you are welcome to do so, but the real abomination here is shackles made of fake loans paid with fake money.
So you want Google to lie about reality and punish people who state the truth.

I honestly can’t understand why.
An aside : posting about this PDF to r/AmazonRedshift, a sub I founded about two years ago, caused what looks like an automated system to ban the sub.

No other information is given, other than a ban has occurred, no links or information to routes to appeal, or find out what happened, or why.

https://www.redshiftresearchproject.org/slblog/2023-09.html#...

(I see now the sub has disappeared from my profile, too. Two years of posts, gone - instantly, no warning, no reason, no information, no notification and no appeal process of any kind, so far as I can see. Reddit appears to be a risky platform to invest time into.)
So, wait, are people normally actually seeing images, with their eyes, when they imagine what something looks like? Like, the brown-blackness of the back of your eyelids gets replaced with something you actually see, like it's projected there?

I can imagine what something looks like, and I guess I sort of 'see' it, but closing my eyes doesn't make it any more real. It doesn't seem to involve the eyes or any part of the visual system at all - it's somewhere else in my head.
The problem is that it takes time. Learning how to go on 2 wheels isn't that hard

Learning how to go on one is noticeably harder as in need 2 axis of balancing, not (essentially) one

Meanwhile they want to sell product that's small and convenient enough to carry, and one wheel gives it advantage in that. And artificial balancing is easiest way to add it.

This thing is not self-driving. There is MASSIVE gulf between "make a vehicle controllable by human" and "make that vehicle self drive".
It sounds really stupid now, but I was working with threads in Java. There are two ways to implement a thread, either implementing the interface runnable or extending the class thread. I originally had a class that implemented runnable with a custom method called getState(). To initialize a thread while using runnable, you have to pass the runnable object to a thread as a constructor parameter. The class thread also has a method called getState() and I spent an embarrassing amount of time wondering why I had totally different values than expected.
Wow, I had zero idea Brazil is doing so good in that front. I agree with you completely. EU's biggest economy shuts down nuclear plants in favor of coal, I think that tells us all enough about how much those in charge really care about the environment. Votes from irrational, brainwashed German population seems to be more important.
> sanctions were crucial to end the South African apartheid

I think there’s a genuine exception for globally-coördinated sanctions. That said, South Africa was a special case. The USSR had just collapsed. The West had global hegemony. Outside that context, I wouldn’t expect the experiment to replicate.
Check out the movie "The Wrecking Crew". It's about studio musicians fixing, rewriting, playing, and singing the music created by the "bands" you've all heard of, so the albums were good.

Then, the bands belatedly had to learn how to sing and play in order to go on tour.

I think about The Wrecking Crew whenever I hear the sob stories about bands being underpaid and the producers reaping the lion's share of the profits.
Which basically means that 10% of their energy comes from renewable energy and that includes burning wood bricks, trash and a bunch of other CO2 emitting sources.

Electricity is only around 20% of a countrys energy need. In developing countries even less.

So it sounds great but it's completely misleadning of course.

Globally wind and solar combined might be around 2%

This is the mouse and the elephant all over.
I mean having great renewables while clearfelling the rainforest is probably still net negative.
TTY as in paper?

It's not quite 1 line, you have a history, you can display an arbitrary amount of lines at once.
In the last 30 years there has never been a time where there wasn't wind or sun somewhere in Europe.

So in theory it's possible to hit 100% even without storage. But obviously not in practice since it might mean you need enough generation and distribution to supply the entire continent from a tiny corner of it. (And the next night it might be a different corner).

Once you add storage 100% becomes more practical, but "practical" is more a question of "how much are you willing to spend". Using the existing hydro much more heavily for storage means that 100% is practical IMO.
Clouds though?

I can't speak to the plagiarism aspect but this part is trivially answered; because it's a site made by an English speaker targeted at English speakers. Of which there are large numbers in Portugal, especially in the Algarve where he is from.

Changing the pronunciation of an existing letter seems ... unnecessary. German already has diacritics, it can simply adopt more of them.
This is an excellent observation

The idea has been somewhat famously illustrated in the concept of the muse, an external entity or influence that is the actual source of the ideas that we then channel into our reality

Similar also to what Michelangelo once said:

> The sculpture is already complete within the marble block, before I start my work. It is already there, I just have to chisel away the superfluous material.

On a similar vein of the “not in the brain” concept, there are many proponents of the “embodied” consciousness, meaning that consciousness is in the whole body, not just our brain/nervous system (this is also very briefly touched upon in one episode of the AppleTV series Extrapolations)
There are a couple of points in here to discuss:

- Geographical advantage for renewable enegry
- Regulation on the energy consumption.

There are a lot of countries which are importing energy already from external sources. Even some of the countries does the same thing, they cannot reach into this potential.

However, we have to accept the truth that this is a big achievement for Portugal no matter what. At least, some of the folks think about climate change.

> What do you think 'tensor-based learning' or 'training data' would do for graph layout?

I didn't and don't have a comment on that.

That's what I replied to and the question I asked.

If you want to group nodes by some context, why not just do it? This doesn't seem complicated to me. I don't know why there would need to be 'tensor based learning' 'machine learning' or even some one else's algorithm.

which I think is what is really required for interactive graphs.

Why would this be required for 'interactive graphs' and what does that mean? If you don't know of any graph that does this and you think it's required, do you have some definition of 'interactive graphs' that has never been done?
Most of Arizona and any other states energy need is not electricity. Only around 20% of it is.
There's a company called VeriSIM life trying to make the physiological models mentioned in the post more accessible [1].

And what exactly will censuring them do? My expectation would be nothing because the UN is an inept and corrupt organization that has not done anything useful ever.

Maybe the solution is rather to end NIMByism in advanced economies and stop exporting dirty jobs to countries that have way worse environmental protection regulations in the name of saving the environment.

The US reduced oil production in recent years, just to import more oil, and unless they only imported more oil from Norway (they didn't), every imported gallon of oil is worse for the environment than US produced oil.

Same with most other production, NIMByism needs to end and production should move back to advanced economies. If you are not comfortable producing things in your country, stop using those things.
Please tell me they didn't actually sign that.
These are good question, and the first one of which is especially poignant for me, far more than you would realize. I have in past talked about intuition based learning (me) vs ... what I'd say 90% of developers are which is a practical/observational based learning. For me ESPECIALLY it's poignant because in my internal model of the world, I do NOT rely on things I've achieved previously to "carry me" through future interactions, or confidence in speaking. I simply don't think like that. Instead, it feels a like an silent void where every situation is infinitely complex with multitudes of different variables from every other experience in my life. I don't think many people are like that. I talk a lot more about this elsewhere if you actually are interested. It was months back let me find it... in it I talk more about my version of "confidence"

Ok I found it, start here: https://i.imgur.com/o3xT5Jh.png and then my reply here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36693161

I have no idea if you are like that or not, but don't cut yourself short thinking it takes 3-4x the effort.

Let me think about your questions throughout the day, as my mind has a lot layers of interconnected fibers, and I want to distil them all down into the most meaningful/impactful statements.

> manufacturers don't offer ECC memory modules with a speed as high as non-ECC versions.

Indeed, they seem to be aiming their ECC sticks at the server market, their "overclockable" sticks at the gamer market, and not mixing the two. Perhaps this would change if more workstation motherboards officially supported ECC.

In the meantime, I suspect today's ECC RAM and X3D cache CPUs might complement each other well.

> For Zen 4 at least there's DDR5 with its on-die ECC, but the path to the CPU might still be unprotected.

Some Zen 4 motherboards do support ECC. ASUS lists it in their manuals and exposes settings for it in their EFI setup, for example.

As for being sure that it's working, I suppose that depends on the OS. This addition in Linux 6.5 looks helpful:

My city collects food and yard waste. Then sends it to be composted on industrial scale that can handle food scraps. The result is compost that can buy in stores.

I think waste composting should be the standard everywhere. It separates organic waste from landfills where it would turn into methane. Composting produces CO2 but most of the carbon gets sequestered in the soil. I do wonder what should do with the compost when there is a huge supply. Mixing it into farmland to improve the soil might be good idea.
Wow. I'm not sure it's right. But, that feels/seems right.

Spoiler Alert: the T-800 drone will have the capability of travelling into the past.
Philosophers have largely only been able to run thought experiments. While those can help clarify what we know, any apparently new knowledge generated thereby has to be confirmed by physical experiment. Physical experiments on human consciousness can only be done in very limited ways without ethical issues -- we don't have the technology to press the pause or undo buttons for human brains, and we don't have direct access to the full state of the brain. Assuming we develop (apparently) conscious minds on our current trajectory, there will be opportunities to run experiments in parallel, have real controls, and AGI researchers will, hypothetically, be able to self-introspect all the way down to the most basic level.

You may object that there's no way to really know that another mind is conscious, and that no volume of physical evidence will prove it, and that will continue to be true even as we learn how it all works, in the same way that solipsism is both fully irrefutable and essentially ignored by anyone who wants to know more about how the world works.
But isn't "enticing" in the eye of the beholder? Or is it something that is hard-coded into our brains? If former, then your argument is invalid, if latter, then better jail us all.
Looking forward to it! :)

The problem with THAT line of thinking is:

* We already have confirmation that the US government has been tapping internet infrastructure, accessing back doors in BigTech backends, and compromising industry-wide encryption and RNG standards.

So there is no way to prove that SOMEONE at the NSA doesn't have the ability to access all of the information on the internet.

And, since the NSA is just more humans, that means there's no way to prove that someone else hasn't sold that ability or specific subsets of the data to malicious actors.

Post Snowden revelations, you have to do risk analysis. Is some US or Five Eyes Government Agency able to access all your personal information or business competitive secrets? Probably Yes. Can one of your competitors? Probably Not. Can a malicious neighbor or drug cartel that would then use it to extort you for money? Probably not.

So even in this hypothetical example where everything authenticated by Microsoft is tainted, it's not clear if it actually changes this equation significantly.
If you would be isolated on a random place and given the chance to bring only one item, you would most probably pick the phone. On both ethical and user-experience cases, this is completely unacceptable. Google is just bringing the trust issues for such a silly bug.
"but we've learned most of the problem cases and how to handle them."

We also learned time and time again how corrupted human society and individuals can be. So while in theory we could do nuclear safe, we often don't. Neither mining, nor maintaining, nor disposing of the waste. We got lucky quite a few times, but having more of it, will likely just result in more incidents.

So while I agree that we should not give it up, I also think we should just harness more of suns fusion power of which we got plenty and invest more in storage technology (you can make batteries out of iron and saltwater for example, no rare elements needed for grid storage). Then there is also the huge energy source beneath our feet, which is fueled by fission btw. if you are more into that. Lots of opportunities ..
