> There is nothing physically implausible about water electrolysis.

You are getting lost in the semantics and an example I grabbed as an illustration and ignoring the message, which is simple:

Anyone can propose anything. And that's fantastic. No problem. However, at some point, it has to make sense. And it has to make sense while looking at the entire process, not just a small element of it.

There are a lot of things in life that sound fantastic, until you run a full analysis and understand that they don't really make sense, particularly at scale. This has to be the first step.

Beyond that, after that step, the project has to be compared to other proposals that can deliver similar or better results. This, again, can usually be done before launching into these projects. It's about that list of dependencies I posted in my other comment.

Why?

Because we are wasting valuable time and money on fantasies, that's why.

Making a business comparison to try to further illustrate the point. In business you have to run through top level before jumping head-first into anything at scale. You also have to run competitive analysis and decide if your proposal is actually realizable and competitive.

In my work in aerospace I have to do this all the time. We are used to conducting what's usually called "Trades Analysis". This is a document where you present and analyze, to a sufficient level, all reasonable options to solve the problem you are trying to address. This is the starting point for a discussion that usually leads to choosing the solution or approach that makes the most sense within the stated objectives and constraints.

> If "doesn't pass physics" is supposed to be shorthand for economic implausibility relative to alternatives

No. That's not it. It really is about everything else first and foremost. Before you consider economics you have to consider science. Again, for the entire process, not a small portion of it. Of course, there are cases where the economics is so obviously ridiculous that scientific analysis quickly becomes irrelevant. A ridiculous example would be something like mining materials from the moon to make common concrete on earth. We don't need to look at science to know that would be economically and ecologically ridiculous.

> for example, you can launch a rocket to orbit with hydrogen fuel

If you change the problem, you change the required analysis methodologies. Still, you have to look at the process in its entirety and in the context of comparisons to other ideas. That's why nobody launches rockets into orbit using hydrogen. It doesn't make sense when looked at from a macro perspective.

My advice:

Always take a very large step back. Try to understand and quantify the entire picture. Things have to make sense at the macro level.
I wish every disagreement was logged in a system so that, decades later, we could know who was right and who was wrong.

It would tell us who to listen to and who yo shun.

I had hopes that Internet forums would be that record, but the nukers destroyed that.

I've got a Windows laptop with an RTX 3080 in it that runs this model no problem. I don't have it to hand or else I'd post some timings.

On my Desktop PC with a 4090 in I was getting speeds of 0.2 to 0.3 seconds for reasonably acceptable quality settings so I would expect 0.5s or so on the laptop.

What Apple are ahead on is doing this on a fanless laptop that doesn't hit internal temperatures of triple digits.
Availability of the new unleaded fuel is extremely limited. It is also very expensive. I also believe there may be a fee involved per airplane to use it (one time for an STC). The fee I heard is nominal $250.

I have never flown to an airport with it yet. i have probably landed in over a dozen different airports in the last few months with a leaded gas engined plane.
Oh, I’m not arguing the urgency. I just think it’s important to remember that other people aren’t perfect manifestations of our ideals, either: they get scared, they have other problems taking up their attention, etc. It does mean we should all be pushing back against the rise of the right-wing stochastic terrorism which has been disturbingly normalized lately.
And Windows, in a sense: not that libc is the interface, but that the assembly-level API is not the interface.
This is far from true. China has invested the most of any country into both renewables and nuclear power. Their per-capita emissions are far below that of other industrialized countries, and they are now leading the way in technology. That said, they still remain a large user and importer of coal, especially inland (where they are focusing on transitioning to nuclear).
Some people just like working down task lists. Some people just like a peek behind the curtain of big operations (like an airport, farm, etc).

Not every game is meant for everyone :)
I like this idea, I do this all the time. Not sure I need an app though, I'll just turn off the monitor.
Physics Nobel winner Peter Higgs (of the boson) said the same ten years ago: “Today I wouldn't get an academic job. It's as simple as that. I don't think I would be regarded as productive enough.”

Maybe I'm naive, but I would imagine that any raspberry pi could run an IRC server with 10,000 users...

Surely 10,000 Users each on average receiving perhaps five 50 byte messages per second (that's a very busy chat room!) is a total bandwidth of 2.5 megabytes per second.

And the CPU time to shuffle messages from one TCP connection to another, or encrypt/decrypt 2.5 megabytes per second should be small. There is no complex parsing involved - it is literally just "forward this 50 byte message into this list of TCP connections".

If they're all internal/authed users, you can hopefully assume nobody is deliberately DoSing the server with millions of super long messages into busy channels too.
Where in the Declaration does it state that entering the US is an inalienable right? I'm confused.

OpenBSD is certainly taking it quite far. They want to disallow system calls from all non-libc code segments so that only whitelisted code can interface with it.

It is not the only operating system in the "unstable kernel interface" group though. Linux is actually the only one with a stable system call interface.

I've written somewhat at length about this:

https://www.matheusmoreira.com/articles/linux-system-calls
Most modern western nations have set up rules, often enshrined in their constitution, for what their government can and can’t do regardless of who they’re doing it to and where they’re doing it.

Then there’s the US who has consistently held that those rules only apply on US soil (hence Guantanamo) and that the rules only really apply when it comes to US citizens (lawful permanent residents get a slightly more diminished “store brand” version of the protections).

Power to weight ratio. Diesel engines tend to be cast iron rather than aluminum.
And windows.

And that's just the platforms which technically enforce it. Linux is essentially the only platform which actually supports raw syscalls, in the sense that it's considered a normal system API.

> So what? If the child did nothing, nothing would have happened. He did something. It might be worthwhile. That should be celebrated.

That's the thing though. The kid could've done anything between something and approximately nothing, and you wouldn't be able to tell. It's just like with the science fairs - the especially well done projects sometimes are just 100% done by parents.

The problem with NIMBYism can be solved with compensation. People buy property with expectations. You cannot just violate them, because no one would buy a house on a golf course accepting that it could be turned it into an asbestos refinery the next day. Pay them for the economic loss of value, and then for emotional damages. They can either be happy with the money, or move on. I mean, I think more people would be willing to accept a meth clinic in their neighborhood if they didn't pay property taxes from now on and could afford private security now to give them piece of mind.
It's not really quality vs quantity.

The root problem is that (particularly in R1's) the job of raising money to perform the science has devolved somewhat to the level of individual labs and PI's, which creates an incentive that rewards good fundraisers in a much more predictable way than good researchers. In theory this could be addressed by more rigor in the funding agencies review processes, but they aren't resourced to really handle that.

It's like a baby (both in size and impact) version of the problem in US Congress & Senate.

> What if Google would block your account and make you pay if you don't go trough enough ads?

I don't have a youtube account. If the day came where I was forced to be logged into youtube just to see a video at all I'd either find some kind of workaround (piracy, or maybe some kind of shared/proxy account) or I'd stop watching youtube videos. Under no circumstances would I pay Google to watch youtube videos and as long as I have some means to block ads available to me I'll keep blocking them.

I accept that my relationship with Google is adversarial and that they'll do everything they can to violate my privacy and make money at my expense. There have been times where I've gone to some lengths to block ads, for example never watching on the website and saving all videos to disk before viewing them, or not watching any videos for weeks while I wait for an update to tools like newpipe. I'll do what I have to. I'm mostly just waiting for Google to piss us off enough that we see people building and turning to alternative platforms that treat both viewers and creators better.
I wish we had a way to see whether someone was right or wrong in the past so we can judge their decision making abilities. This would help us pick good leaders.

If only there were a way to document disagreements publicly so they could be reviewed at a later date.

I had hopes that Internet discussion forums would be that, but the nukers destroyed that along with most training materials for LLMs.
> If I wanted to move to Europe right now, it is a lengthy painful process just like an alien trying to move to the US.

Moving permanently is one thing, but Europeans have to go through that bullshit even for tourist visas, while all y'all need is your passport because our dumbass politicians didn't insist on reciprocity.

Actually, most monitors support the DDC/CI protocol [1]. But I think implementations tend to be spotty hence Windows (for example) doesn't show a brightness slider in some configurations. Third party apps exist though (e.g., TwinkleTray [2]).

Quebec is investing in education? Hahaha I'm not sure if that was a joke...

>In Quebec, 25.5% of people aged 25 to 64 had a bachelor's degree or higher in 2016

> In 2012, 26% (4.1M out of 15.8M) of adult Texans had a bachelor's degree or higher; in 2021, that percentage increased to 32% (5.9M out of 18.6M)

(As an aside, even a Texas Governor would probably not have said something close to the famous statement Parizeau made regarding "le vote ethnique" after the 1995 referendum ;). But as long as you are Quebecois, I guess the government is doing fine here I agree )
After seeing some of the unrealistic numbers, I set primarycache=metadata just like you pointed out. And, you are correct, I need to learn to be a better tester...
The author of the article does not seem to be able to make a good distinction between cacao and cocoa. For instance, they wrote “cocoa plant” but there’s no such. There’s a cacao tree and it grows pods (similar in size and shape to a small American football) and these pods contain beans surrounded by pulp. These pods are cut from the cacao tree, the mushy pulp is allowed to ferment and dry over a period of many days, and then the beans from desiccated pod are what ultimately get transformed into powder and then we get what is referred to as the cocoa butter—-from cacao tree to cocoa butter. Finally, it’s a complex process of churning the cocoa butter with the addition of milk and lecithin to get the tasty end product chocolate. In most cases it is mostly milk chocolate and lecithin with a smaller percent of cocoa butter.

The native origins of Cacao trees are in the Amazon region (Brazil, Colombia, Peru) but have a rich history of being transplanted to other regions around the world since colonial times, largely for commercialization. In present day, the top growers of cacao trees are in Africa. 70% of the world’s cocoa come from Cameroon, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, and Ghana.

The CR article fails to make the connection as to where in the lifecycle the heavy metals are introduced.
I'm not surprised at all that Texas isn't interested in energy that will devalue crude and natural gas given their the top producers of both.

That's not in the customers interests per se- in fact it's a pain. Having control of their own stuff could mean they could offer a much longer effective operational life.

> The way to run into undiscovered issues is to choose a completely custom firmware/hardware/software stack that almost no one else in the world is running.

What breaks stuff is change - sure when they are starting up it's higher risk - but again if they can manage the lifecycle better, not have change for changes sake, then they could be much more reliable.

I was talking about not taking the flagship stuff - which is typically a few months ahead of the best price/performance stuff.
> It looks like golang is going to have to deal with — again — OpenBSD treating libc as the interface with the kernel instead of syscalls being the interface with the kernel.

Something they wouldn't have to do if they'd heeded the warnings they got since they first started going raw syscalls on non linux systems.

But as usual, go is uniquely american, only doing the right thing after it has tried everything else.
This is a good outcome. Ideally, star researchers are expunged from academia where good ideas go to die and they're moved to industry where success depends on their work working.

Asynchronous data loading is the core of the problem. React without any other addons like redux, where state is dumped into the page and just passed down through props would avoid the issue (though it can have a different one where the page is blank for a moment before the javascript renders the page). Same with HTML and no frontend framework, it's all loaded synchronously with page load so there's no "empty data" state.

Redux encourages loading data like that, and the easy way to use Router makes it easy to do that - all URLs get sent to the same backend view to render the app, then the frontend takes the URL args and triggers ajax to get the data. During that interim when the ajax is running is when you get this empty-data state.
> This is because the iGPU doesn't support ECC RAM.

What, how? The only part of the chip that touches the ECC bytes should be the memory controller itself. The reads and writes going across the internal fabric should be exactly the same.

Also the PRO versions support ECC and seem to have the same iGPU.

That's just kicking the can down the road, because the full sentence is:

> We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Which would seem to be irrespective of nationality. I think that today, we understand that "men" was meant as a generic term for "person", but the rest of that sentence seems to say that everybody who is a creation of God (which is understood to be everybody) has those unalienable rights. It sure reads to me like it says "everyone on Earth has these rights" not just "people in these colonies have these rights".

I am trolling a little bit here, since I don't actually believe we (the U.S.) should insist on our Constitutional protections applying to non-citizens. But that is what it says to me.
I mean, the Lawrence paper has been on WordPress for like half a decade now. It's just in a hard spot because the niche it was made for got squeezed out of the market from the middle. If you have enough money for a developer, you probably also have enough money for a real backend UX.

Oh, sure. It’s just in this case the ratios are reversed so I find it completely unsurprising that the makers and dealers are acting in their own financial interest. The average pickup is $60k so they’re probably making well over twice as much on each sale as well as locking in higher maintenance revenue.

I feel like the more important takeaway is that soap makes water a better solvent for washing and hygiene, not necessarily that soap destroys viruses. Also, water that cells can't keep in or out or that sticks to the wrong things can't be used!

Manually washing your hands with regular water eventually has the same degree of efficacy as with soapy water, it just takes a lot longer, so why don't more people conclude that they just need to drink more water to flush the viruses out when they're sick? Why should it be the soap plus the water that makes it magic?

By and large, you want to prevent the contamination that leads to viral infections by keeping the parts of you (or others) that interact with the environment away from the parts of you (or others) that viruses enter through. Because we can't do that all day, every day, we try to lower the odds of anything that might've gotten on us staying on us intact, and soapy water applied and rinsed at a sink is a pretty good way to do that.

Once the viruses are inside us, they're in the cells, and soapy water doesn't have the right properties that our cells and tissues need to maintain an environment that allows them function, largely for the same reasons it's good for cleaning. The biology of life relies on these properties universally, which is why we can't drink salt water or water that's "too pure" like deionized water; one takes water out of our cells, and other puts too much in.
I just came back from a road trip to the US. It seems a lot of people there drive insanely big pickup trucks for no other reason than fancying big stuff. I wonder how EVs fit into that picture. Are we talking very big electric cars or are we expecting them to transition to small + electric at the same time?

Actually, even in Europe, cars are getting bigger and bigger. SUVs are very much on the rise, and small cars are getting bigger too.

It's not so much a technical issue than consumer preferences at that stage. Without financiary incentives, I don't see consumers shifting to small/EVs cars
Why can't we software emulate this? We have webcams, we know roughly where light comes from and how much. We should be able to turn those sources into 3D model lights and illuminate a virtuall screen, perhaps even with onscreen objects having some texture, like raised. Button in browsers.

Better yet, how can we get just away from screens more without getting bored? I love screens but there's a limit. Gaming and online content are pretty much the ,ain leisure activities that don't involve food or alcohol (and all the health issues of overeating and drinking).

Seems like we used to do more other stuff.
