Southwest Airlines. On more than one occasion, they showed human vs corporate levels of empathy and help, and I patronize them with mid 5 figures of annual spend in return.
I saw it too. Are these kids children of the people who own the farms? I didn't remember seeing anything to refute that. If so, barring their kids to work on the farm would be detrimental to the family farmer and would benefit bigger farms that can afford to hire more external labor.

SNR. The truth isn't gone, but it is more diffuse. Yea, the truth may be out there somewhere, but will you have any idea if you're actually reading it? Is the search engine actually leading you to the ground truth? Is the expert and actual expert, or part of a for profit industry think tank with the sole purpose to manipulate you? Are the sources the actual source, or just an AI hallucinated day dream sophisticated linked by a lot of different sites giving the appearance of authority.
I was wondering about that. How DOES diffing work with this, like in a Geopackage?
Over the past few years I've heard a number of complaints that new steam turbines are very hard to buy: they're big and complex to manufacture, and the supply chain for them is very restricted. This has apparently held up some new power plant deployments over the past few years. Are those issues still significant, and will the ability to use smaller (and fewer) turbines make a big difference?
Plato studied “philosophy” which at the time aimed to provide a full explanation to everything in life. Later in history knowledge got more and more specialized. As time goes by, being able to do meaningful contributions to various fields becomes more difficult. It is considered for example, that Gauss was the last scientist to contribute to all branches of science and similarly John Von Neumann was the last mathematician who made meaningful contributions in all branches of sciences. So yeah, you could say for Plato there were no boundaries as the amount of knowledge that existed was small enough to be fully handled by a human .. and it’s likely not the case anymore.
Fun fact: Publix is the largest majority employee owned company in the US.

> The other engineers would go by his office to make small talk, chat about great projects they're working on, and sports they both like. I never did any such thing and stayed in my office working.
> Over time I would see him going to all the other engineers' offices to chat and catch up on projects, but never mine, and that further cemented the feeling that this guy doesn't like me.

So... you took it as a sign that he doesn't like you when he didn't come and talk to you, but you don't consider it reasonable that he took it as a sign that you didn't like him when you didn't talk to him?

Ah, now I get it. Yes, that is a possible problem.
On the flip-side, something that can reason so broadly about an economy (i.e. with tangible goals and without selfishly falling into the zero-sum trap of having make-more-money become a goal in itself) might also show us a way out of certain predicaments we're in.

I think this might be fire worth playing with. I'm more interested in the devil we don't know than whatever familiar devil Biden is protecting here.

Interesting for sure, but that's definitely a more painful optimisation journey than the Rust one, which only involved Rust. No custom JITing of a subset of Rust, or calling out to C.

I think the real takeaway from my experience of Rust vs Python performance is that in practice people don't optimise 99% of Python so the real number of significance is the 8x speedup he got from just switching to Rust with no profiling whatsoever.

That's actually quite a low difference compared to my experience - I'd say 50x is more typical.
I agree. I do feel strongly about this, and my stance is absolutely not completely thought out. I appreciate your comment and I agree with the thrust of it. I shouldn’t make comments when I’m anxious or irritated.

Thank you for your rational response to my not-so-rational post.
I think this speaks tremendous volumes to the legacy of these programs. Using this site, I fired up an old unix v6 on a simulated pdp11. I've never used a pdp 11 or unix v6.

I was able, within a few seconds, navigate the system and find the 'moo' game in /usr/games/moo. In other words, I was functional with SECONDS. The staying-power of that kind of technology just blows my mind.
It might also free up the flash business to make aggressive acquisitions without worrying quite as much about anti-trust from having a larger position in the overall storage market due to the old HDD business (which is dominated by just three firms).

The stand-alone HDD business will end up as an acquisition in the not-distant future (Toshiba, Seagate, etc. somebody will eat it).
Why would we do this? And how would this conceivably even be enforced? I can't see this being useful or even well-defined past cartoonishly simple special cases of generation like "artist signatures for modalities where pixels are created."

Agreed. My suggestion was to pay them to stay home instead of going to work.
They effectively already do, indirectly:

* Through legislation

* Through impugning them as foreign agents

* Through various political policing bodies (in the US - FBI, CISA, maybe others)

* Through media pressure on online platforms
Well, no history book is 100% accurate.

But, I wouldn't throw out the baby with the bath water here. It's important to use critical reading skills, seek out multiple sources, and understand the context of the writer and target audience.
There would be some really "interesting" technical consequences too. I think we'd commonly hear things like:

"USW-local-42 has used TurboPascal since 1987, and it's worked _fine_ for every project ever since. Bob could have retired at 65, but he's 78 and he's taught thousands of underlings how to master the language. That project that took 12 years wasn't our fault, it was torpedoed when collective bargaining negotiations failed and our whole union had to learn C++. Keeping with the same language is a core tenet of our union and keeping people like bob among the most satisfied employees in $UNION_STATE."

"We at USW-42 only connect to signed APIs from other union shops, we will not support FOSS unless the whole chain has been verified that it has been grown organically from employee-first union-run companies. I know that a 25ms auth check on each call is slowing us down, we have guys working on that. But the law about to pass is going to make it illegal to circumvent these checks. You got to remember, these checks help secure jobs, and there's always going to be trade offs. You can hire us to remove the API calls and re-write the software if you absolutely need that speed up, but for now, think of the children of all these union members who depend on your support and compliance".
It would be quite the GAAF

Who’s to keep them from blocking actual critics? They serve the public, so isn’t a harsh or critical opinion about them still valid?

Just because it’s written, doesn’t mean you have to read it.
They're not saying "fuck it", it's a deliberate aesthetic.
Agreed. I was suggesting (albeit poorly) to pay those people to stay home instead of going to work.

If I were a person of any kind of importance there's no way I would be running my own social media accounts. If I did, I would do my best to segregate those onto specific devices which I only used for making posts, but not replying to them. If community engagement was important, I'd hire someone else to respond to comments for me.

I encourage everyone to read Merchants of Despair by Robert Zubrin.
https://www.amazon.com/Merchants-Despair-Environmentalists-P...
IMO, this is the most important book written in the 21st century. Don't read the whole thing, just read the first chapter. The first chapter will give you what you need to know.

Here's a summary:

Every new person born has a mouth to eat, but they are not a useless eater. They are also born with hands to work. They work to produce what they consume. We ensure they consume no more than they produce with a system called money.

The more dense a population, the higher the per-capita income. This is because the main thing that determines your standard of living is the technology your society has access to. The technology your society has access to is directly proportional to the total number of man-years lived before that date. This is because humans create tech at a constant level. For every X man-years lived, a new invention will be created. Every person is both with a mouth to eat, hands to work, and a brain to invent.

But won't we run out of resources? Sure, we ran out of whale oil. That did not matter. We invented a bad replacement (town gas) which killed a lot of people, then we invented a better replacement called electric lights. Humanity marches on.

So to be clear, you are saying that all behavior issues result from medical causes?
The bigger problem here is that public officials are increasingly using privately-owned social media channels to conduct day to day business. If my local politician or police department is posting photos of their kids I don't really care if they block me. If their Twitter account is the only place I can hear about active shooter threats in my area or submit feedback on an upcoming piece of legislation, then yeah, they have an obligation to allow public access even if I say something that offends them.
I wonder how he really thinks about it.

Whatever he thought at the start, I bet it's not how he feels today.
> Is he actually saying that alternatives to mass education are LESS ethically tolerable than compulsory graded schools?

Yes, but he's hiding his point in poor phrasing. Compulsory, graded schools are one solution for disseminating mass education. Another solution for disseminating mass education are personalized learning platforms run by algorithms, or video courses that are taught by a teacher far away from the student. These futuristic, alternative solutions are "technically more feasible and ethically less tolerable".

Yeah, you don't have to spend it. Save it and retire early. Donate it all to a charity you believe in. Send your kids to the best school. Buy a nice home. Travel the world. The high salary only allows more options, it doesn't close any doors.

I have an mp3 of the patcher/keygen by Digital Insanity for Sony Vegas in my music collection. Such a banger, even after all those years.
This looks super cool! I will for sure be testing this out and keeping an eye out for future additions.
Ah, I see. So, for example, if one page request would result in 190 different backend requests to fulfill, then the possibility that at least one of those subrequests exceeds the 99th percentile would be 85.2%. That makes a lot more sense.
I'm always surprised that government officials and official whitehouse memos n such keep comments enabled. It's not like the president (besides Trump maybe lol) is gonna read the comments and respond, plus the value of those first replies is so ridiculously high, why on earth would you risk it. The point of twitter and facebook for political officials is get the message across, not create engaging content. It would also be nice if all 'fact checkers' from facebook, to twitters community notes would get permanently disabled for elected officials. Absolutely bonkers we let tech companies decide that stuff for us IMO.
I can't even have a strong opinion on this one, it seems like one of the central wedge issues of the internet age. I just hope the Supreme Court wrestles with this responsibly and looks past whatever automatic biases they have, because this one is hard. Trolling and harrassment is weaponized and automated in a way that was never possible before, and it still seems just about impossible to reliably define what is critique vs what is abuse. I suppose the only path is the one that looks at it in terms of behavior rather than content.
Eh. Hard to be annoyed about this. It would be quite another thing if they can deplatform critics entirely, but just blocking them? Who cares?

Even the policies at city-council meetings feel silly. Free speech to me means that you can say whatever you want in the press and in public in general. It doesn't need to guarantee your right to be annoying at a particular venue. When good principles like free speech are distorted into unreasonable and bizarre policies it undermines the principles themselves. It also just undermines the basic idea of government: it's hard to want to support a system that does obviously-silly things all the time because it's too zealous about its own rules.

Indeed, often people who want less government make a point of enforcing rules to the point of absurdity so that people are disenchanted with the rules themselves: obviously if a system seems to work in stupid ways people are more likely to oppose it, yet the actual solution is for it to not work in stupid ways, not to get rid of it.
Microservices not being able to talk to each other the network basically never comes up.

Apple is doing something interesting but it's not at all unclear how they're doing it:

> outpace on a per watt basis with AMD/Intel (and be at least competitive with on an absolute basis)

They're the first on TSMC's new process nodes, so whenever a new node comes out, people will compare the new Apple chip on a new node to the previous generation AMD chip on the previous node. If you compare them this way then the newer node outperforms the older one as expected. Then AMD releases one on the new node and the advantage basically disappears, or is just making different trade offs, e.g. selling chips with more cores which consequently have a higher TDP in exchange for higher multi-thread performance.

Intel hasn't been competitive with either of them on power consumption for some time because Intel's fabrication is less power efficient than TSMC's.

But if Apple's advantage is just outbidding everyone at TSMC, that only lasts until TSMC builds more fabs (the lead times for which get shorter as the COVID issues subside), or someone else makes a better process.

> For example, they have a unified 800GB/s memory bandwidth with zero copy sharing between GPU and CPU. That’s not something anyone else has managed yet.

It's also not something which is at all difficult to do. It's a straightforward combination of two known technologies. Integrated GPUs have unified memory and discrete GPUs have high memory bandwidth.

There is no secret to attaching high bandwidth memory to a CPU with an integrated GPU, it's just a trade off that traditionally isn't worth it. CPUs typically have more memory than GPUs but if it's unified and you want to use the fast memory you're either going to get less of it or pay more, and CPU applications that actually benefit from that amount of memory bandwidth are uncommon.

One of the rare applications that do benefit from it are LLMs, and it's possible that's enough to create market demand, but there's no real question of if they can figure out how to make that -- everybody knows how. It's only a question of if customers want to pay for it.

And what we may see is something better -- high bandwidth memory as a unified L4 cache. So then your CPU+iGPU gets the amount of HBM traditionally found on a discrete GPU and the amount of DRAM traditionally attached to a CPU and you get the best of both worlds with no increase in cost over a CPU + discrete GPU. But currently nobody offers that -- the closest is the Xeon Max which has HBM but no integrated GPU.

And none of these are why Qualcomm isn't competitive with Apple -- they're not competitive with AMD or Intel either. It's not the fabs or the trade offs. Their designs just aren't as good. But all that means is they should hire more/better engineers.

Either way, there are many other ways to "handle with" authority, notice also my quotes. These are even on different axes: understanding or not there's something going on, accepting or not what's going on, agreeing or not with what's going on, acting or not on what's going on... anything you simplify there between the two groups, will be wrong.
The original paper says:

> For the sort of globally effective SAI deployment in the tropics and sub-tropics envisioned in (Smith and Wagner 2018) and (Smith 2020), a deployment altitude of 20 km is commonly assumed in order to remain well above the tropopause, which can often appear as high as 17 km in the tropics. Injection of large masses of aerosols at 20 km is not judged to be feasible with existing aircraft, requiring the development of new lofting platforms designed for this mission as envisioned

Ground deployment is not extensively discussed, but perhaps the referenced papers discuss the necessity of high altitude more.
This isn't really a truck. Like the Honda Ridgeline, it's built on an SUV frame/chassis.
I meant the opposite. I don't believe that "1°C warming" is mild.
It is not that different from using television or radio or private phone lines to conduct business in the past. I would not ask public officials to communicate in silly suboptimal ways out of an imagined principle that it's important that their communication only be on public channels.
Right, I agree, but electricity prices are variable and location dependent, for example, it doesn't cost me 30c/kwh, it's more like 5 cents and 3 cents depending on the time.

With that logic, the $20 in difference of $30 per year vs $10 per year of Pi is fairly meaningless for performance boost I am getting.

If your electricity is expensive, sure, but I imagine the performance boost would be worth it for an actual homeserver that a G3 can make vs a tinkering/fun project you can make with a Pi.
I'm comparing this to non-union auto workers in Alabama making $8/hr with zero benefits. Europe is in a completely different universe where the floor of acceptability is above our ceiling.
There's a heavily online right-wing presence that admires Ilich; of the people who could be described as "right-wing" I've seen that talk about Ilich, most are either hobby homesteaders or people with advanced CS/engineering degrees that read a lot of "online rationalist" work about a decade ago.
This hasn't actually been released yet, it's just in the release branch. It was merged down less than 4 days ago. It comes with the following caveats:

> What is not working / is missing / won't be implemented:

> Some extensions are still missing (authentication doesn't support them at all, yet).

> Support for Resident Key.

> Support for triggering unlock from extension.

> Support for root certificates.

> Support for PIN/TouchID when authenticating.

> What is not tested:

> Support for Passkeys with Google/Apple and other common sites

So... can anyone confirm to me whether the passkey implementation in KeePassXC actually works with any of the sites implementing passkeys? I'll be happy if it ends being great and works everywhere. But what should I take away about the spec that the developers who have implemented the spec in KeePassXC aren't certain whether it will work with every site that claims to support passkeys?

I know it won't work with any site requesting hardware-bound keys: https://fosstodon.org/@keepassxc/111301312353785552

I'm happy for KeePassXC to add support, it's a big deal, but it seems pretty early to say, "see the Linux situation is solved now." I go back to the complaint about passkeys being recommended for people to use today, even though they're still kind-of half finished. This is on a release candidate branch, and we're already acting like Linux is just supported now.

Never mind the fact that it's a partial implementation, never mind the fact that we have no idea if browsers like Chrome will allow KeePassXC to be treated as a platform provider without installing an additional extension to bypass the browser's built-in behavior. Never mind the fact that its import/export format only works with itself. Linux is supported now and you can export your keys, what's the problem? /s

----

And ignoring all of that, if Linux has support now, I would repeat: why do I need to find out about this on Mastodon? Seriously, the FIDO Alliance is made of the richest tech companies on the planet. Why is the official user-facing dev site -- a site maintained by W3C members and organizations -- giving incorrect information?

Why are supported features, goals, and timelines being communicated entirely via social media?
You could do what they do in larger US buildings. Non load bearing walls are not made of concrete so vertical pipes go into those walls and are encased in drywall. Bathrooms and so on have their horizontal pipes below the ceiling of the space underneath, covered by drywall, so just need to punch a single hole in the concrete floor per pipe.
I think the precisely better poll would be: "Will the consequences of continuing to emit CO2 at the current rate be greater than the cost of reaching net 0 by 2100?", but regardless of how weak the idea that humans aren't at least contributing to global warming that's exactly what the link verisimi posted seems to me to be doing. Yes it's true that we're very unlikely to tip Earth into becoming another venus, but tipping it into becoming another Pliocene on a short timetable would be pretty catastrophic.

I don't expect global warming to kill me or render the earth uninhabitable, but things aren't looking very sustainable right now and I think most scientists if polled would say we aren't currently doing enough to address the problem.
