The problem isn't "there's no sun in the UK". The problem is: What do you do on an overcast December day with no wind? Or worse - what do you do if the whole country has heavy snow and no wind in December?

Renewable capacity factor isn't predictable on a daily basis. You need a backup - which basically means having an entire grid's worth of gas turbine/coal/hydro plants in storage for a few hours a year, or having grid-scale storage. That's not really a solved problem (even the biggest batteries are a couple of orders of magnitude too small to provide an entire country's electricity supply).

Electric vehicles (with vehicle to grid) will help. But even then, we need way, way more long term storage than we currently have.
large companies don't have much incentive to use EA. The usual incentive for EA is to make a game cheaper for early users and to get important playtesting done.a big game with a big ad budget, QA testing studio, and internal playteting doesn't need to worry about that.
Can this be monitored? Up until now, Meta hasn't allowed scraping (see Meta Bright Data lawsuit), and has been benefiting from the data, maintaining its monopole status.
The core problem with "bring camera to venue" and subsequently "tiktok ravers" is inversion of relationship between the crowd and event. Before mass media you went to e.g. theatrical play or cinema to passively consume "content", whereas all the festivals were in large part made by partygoers. The more niche the rave, the more of the atmosphere is/was created by the attendees. The job of a DJ in a rave was largely to control the rhythm and the flow.

Partygoers with cameras reduce this relationship to simple consumerism, largely consumption of content. The more passive attendees there are, the larger the pressure is on the venue to make or break the party. Tiktok ravers are just more egregious iteration of the thing.
Isn't Dacia Spring around 20-23k in the EU and built in Morocco? What quality will that Tesla have at 25k?
> That's bit much of stereotyping, depends I guess - "Java Concurrency in Practice" is one of the most sold books (when it comes to Java), and it covers some parts quite well.

That's because Java concurrency in practice is harder than it should be. I've seen plenty of teams struggling with what should be trivial problems trying to work their way around the various limitations and/or bugs in the JVM.

> Albeit, they did fail to deliver - very error prone, close to impossible to debug, effectively outclassed by x86-64 and Sun Sparc (both being total store order), even arm-64 became "stronger".

That's true, but at that time those weren't shipping 64 bit systems. It was pretty much R4000, Alpha or bust and the Alpha - even taking into account those limitations - worked surprisingly well for real world problems. In fact the systems that I'm talking about worked non-stop for more than a decade until they got de-commissioned and I never heard a single peep from those that took over the project that the memory model of the Alpha was somehow either a problem in practice or a concern.

Could it have been done better: sure, but with the knowledge of the time these seemed to be pretty reasonable choices and compared to what the alternatives were they were doing great. If anything the failure of the Alpha architecture is one of marketing more than anything. Pjlmp has some good information elsewhere in this thread, which pretty much corresponds with my experience of the time. There were some systems on the drawing board that were better in theory and they were still better in theory 10 years later, meanwhile DEC was shipping.

That they squandered their head start has nothing to do with the memory model, but everything to do with how they ran their business.
Bitbucket had Mercurial pull requests. Later maybe.
> I think that same transistor count was reached by Motorola on the 68020, which would've been around 1984

Wikipedia says ~200k (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_68020), so about 50% more than 135k.

I don’t know much of hardware, but part of that may have been because of (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_68020#020_concept_eme...):

“A great debate broke out about how to refer to the underlying design of the new chip in marketing materials. Technically, the 020 was moving from the long-established NMOS logic design to a CMOS layout, which requires two transistors per gate. Common knowledge of the era suggested that CMOS cost four times as much as NMOS, and there was a significant amount of the market that believed "CMOS equals bad.”
Even if you are one of those people who thinks surveillance is okay to prevent crimes, wouldn't it make sense instead to tip the authorities and silently watch the transaction patterns until an actual crime is proven and its structures dismantled? Who thinks is the right thing to ban criminals to financial systems like cryptocurrencies where tracking is difficult?

Banks obviously! Crime and corruption departments are costly. If you are an actual millionaire they will make a 40 pages report on your political views before kicking you but if you are a small customer paying rent that happens to have a funny name or withdraw cash too frequently its better to just kick you out of the platform... and have you talk to the algorithm.

Think of it. If government wants to efficiently catch financial crimes they can instead setup a digital-nomad-crypto-friendly-bank-with-minimal-kyc-plus-eresidency-and-offshore-companies and just follow the money. I suspect this will be a lot more efficient than the current framework.

Banks are locking the capacity of an individual or group of people to interact with society and their access to basic living needs while making a mockery of the concept of innocent til prove guilty we built our societies on. The burden to prove you are not a criminal is on you.

And while vast majority of people are vocal against xenophobia and racism when its the banks ruining someone life because they have the wrong passport color some people will applaud and justify the systems protecting their sweet homeland from dirty barbarians from the east and south.

But even if you think AML laws are a force for good you need to agree this whole situation is very fucked up. I'm normally very against regulation but bank accounts in current digital society should be granted as a basic right.

I have been residing overseas for the last 6 years, living in and visiting 27 countries in total. I also have 5 bank accounts and 9 cards, all registered to a virtual mail address and a VoiP phone number. No problems so far.

Protip: chill.
that's not totalitarianism. it's a shitty system with a ridiculously bad trade off (catching some money launderers versus fucking innocent customers)

the problem is that banks can't handle this requirement well. if they think something is suspicious, sure file the SAR/CTR, and then if they think there's a need for KYC, tell the customer that. the customer provides information about the transaction, the bank then can chill the fuck out. if this keeps going on they can eventually tell the customer that okay, it's too much work for them, please close the account in 1 month.

but no, they immediately switch into this crusader mode, because it's just easier for them, and customers have no recourse.

Singapore has been doing this for years.

When they release new males they put a flyer up at our lift that says "there's gonna be tons of mosquitoes soon, don't worry, they are males and they don't bite" and shortly after, all mosquitoes are gone.

It seems to work. I'm not a fan of meddling with nature in this way, though. I have zero doubts that this will end up in some kind of unforeseen disaster.
If you're not that impressed by Michelin-starred restaurants, why do you go?

As for how restaurants compare to making food at home, I don't think almost any restaurant can do better than a good chef at home. Someone at home can concentrate on making a top-quality meal for one or two people (maybe a couple more at the most), and doesn't have any real time pressures, or needing to share kitchen resources with meals made for dozens of other customers. It's pretty much the ideal environment for cooking, assuming 1) the equipment available is good and 2) the chef is skilled enough. Of course, #2 is a big one, so while some people who are confident in their cooking skills can claim "I can cook better meals than most Michelin-starred restaurants!", lots of other people can't cook meals that require more skill than "put in microwave for 4 minutes" so most restaurants can easily beat that.

Some good information there, but also some terrible misinformation.

"Rural Jutland" is not poor, nor does it have less access to public services. The "issue" with rural Jutland is that about 1/5 the danish population lives in Copenhagen, with another 2-3/5 living in Århus, Aalborg and Odense, and as jobs migrate to the major cities, the smaller villages have problems attracting people.

Of course, the social/public services should match the amount of people expected to use it, which is why it is often concentrated in the major cities.

Should you chose to live outside a major city (Sealand probably excluded), you can somewhat easily afford a car, as housing will cost you less than half of what "downtown" costs.

Also, as for taxes, i'm paying more than 50% income taxes, and i have no idea where the 15% + 15% rule comes from. IIRC the lowest income tax in denmark is 9% AM-bidrag as well as 26% income tax, landing you at 35%.

> Yeah. From a technical standpoint Git is a lot worse in a lot of ways. From an ease-of-use standpoint it's about as much worse as it's possible to be.

Ten years ago, when I had started to use git after having used both Subversion and Mercurial, I noticed one thing.

Git was FAST.

On repositories of the same size, git was blowing Mercurial out of the water and running circles around it, that's how fast it was.

It was FAST and it fucking got out of my way and let me work.

I don't know the inner workings of either and academic advantages of Mercurial, but I know for a fact it had been a dog and its move to Python 3 had been disastrous. So whichever technical or UX advantages Mercurial might have, I simply don't care anymore.
Don't bother with facts for the elon haters, they are emotionally invested in Elon being an evil billionaire right winger, who is only around because of government tax incentives. Oh and it's his employees that did all the work, he just had money... (why didn't SLS, arianespace and blue origin work then? oh and the N1 russian rocket)

Never mind the hundreds of data points to the contrary, the media now hates Elon, and it's surprising just how effective they've been at turning many people against him.
The compiler needs to know that information in order to do said optimisations, so it does have the information somewhere, it just fails to express it in the debug information.

Not happening, way too many safety concerns for this to be viable tech.

What we need is better batteries, not Ammonia or Hydrogen, those are essentially obsolete given present day tech, another billion or two into battery research and we should see the end of Lithium Ion (we're pretty much there already but for a penalty in density, but that's not a limitation for stationary storage systems) cost wise.
It seemed in these reports that the local manager was surprised. ... But it may be that they were only "suprised", i.e. not about to say that the system did prompt them but they ignored the prompt. Possible. It is also possible that the bank only prompts the local manager if the client has enough estimated net worth or estimated lifetime client business value. The kind of thing that might make sense but wouldn't be disclosed until there is a lawsuit.

> they also traditionally cater to "expats", which is a fancy British word for high income white collar professionals/digital nomads who either travel frequently or have foreign residencies for business.

"Expats" is also used for elderly retirees moving to the Costa Del Sol, so IME it's not a particularly high-income or white-collar term.

Now, if you were talking about "non-doms" that would be a different matter :)

Of course, I agree that a bank accustomed to dealing with expatriates would probably be understanding of someone spending a lot of time in another country.

Those 'irritant properties' are pretty much showstoppers.
When using hg, I often accidentally created multiple heads for a branch and I remember that being really annoying and unintuitive to undo.
Oh that's right - I'd forgotten about that april fools joke that wasn't. It was just client compatibility right - the backend was still git from memory?

What I mean was that it wasn't like Bitbucket where you chose whether you wanted git or hg for starting your project.

Thanks for sharing this! I'm just getting my head around category theory (in Haskell).

I would appreciate if anyone knows of a small project out there that uses category theory to learn how to design and architect a solution (even better if it's in Haskell!)
I assume that the purpose of this is to get retweeted? Twitter really is insufferable these days; this is just deliberately misleading. I think that promise of maybe paying for views was the last straw; it's lead to ludicrous attention-seeking behaviour.

It's about the M3 Pro vs the M2 Max, for a start, but, yeah, this is completely expected. It would be surprising if this were _not_ the case. The M3 Pro has fewer, faster p-cores than the M2 Max. The M3 Max has more cores. I'm... confused on what's supposed to be so embarrassing here. But got to get those clicks, I suppose.
That type of synesthesia is referred to as Number Forms (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_form).

No, he's got a point, I'm pretty much there, but for a bit of storage and an inverter upgrade it would be a done deal but for now the grid is still cheaper for storage.
You're comparing apples and oranges. A metal concert isn't an exclusive club; anyone can buy a ticket and go. And yes, most salarymen in Tokyo wear office suits every day, so since it was on a Monday, they just didn't bother bringing a change of clothes. I see men in such suits all the time on weekdays doing whatever, because those are their work clothes.

It's unfortunate that the rock and metal crowd is mostly middle-aged people these days; the young people seem to be listening to rather bland pop music, idol music, etc.
Bugzilla is fine. It looks OK. You can subscribe to individual tickets. It doesn’t support emoji reactions or Markdown but it does the job just fine. One thing it does better than GH issues is ticket dependencies even with tree/graph visualization. GH just has no blockers/blocked issues in any form or shape. New ticket form has a few more fields than the default GH issue form but it’s much better than it used to be back in the days and comparable to custom form on GH. You also can log it with your GH account so not much of a barrier there, too. Seriously, try Mozilla’s bugzilla now and see for yourself. It’s probably not as bad as you remember it.

Also consider that Mozilla’s bugzilla contains quarter of a century worth of tickets. There’s no way it can be moved to GitHub (or wherever) without loss of data.

> What do you mean by constant multiplicative factor’. Are you saying that cars are perfectly balanced between front and back axels (surely a reasonable thing to want for tyre wearing if nothing else).

Right. An implicit assumption was that the weight repartition does not change much, i.e. that if 2/3 of the weight is supported by the front axle, that ratio would be similar for a hatchback and a SUV. This does not seem completely unrealistic when comparing ICEs with other ICEs or EVs with other EVs (though EVs will have a very different weight repartition compared to ICEs due to the way batteries and motors are integrated).

With this in mind, the front axle bears 2/3 * m_1 for a sedan of mass m_1 and 2/3 * m_2 for a SUV of mass m_2. So the effective weight (as seen considering only one axle) is just a linear function of the actual weight. It changes the magnitude, but it does not change the scaling.
Again, the numbers _do not refer to consumption of electricity_, they refer to consumption of energy.
When I saw "from scratch" instead of "pretrained" I assumed this was trained using some novel RL setup-- there's value to using the same verbiage as everyone else.
The exact Bugzilla / phab / Haskel style text files shoukd not matter - i mean it's all just tickets. what matters is the level of integration code written by devs to make their lives easier. That's what means it's hard to move.

I go because there is always something new to discover, in the way they cook, plate, and serve their foods, which I then use in my own cooking. Plus, I am hoping that one of them at least will impress me someday. As for home cooking, I agree with you, but oftentimes even other restaurants can beat Michelin-starred restaurants on flavor, so it's not just skilled home cooks. I view Michelin-starred restaurants as one would view high fashion and their shows, pieces of sensory art rather than pedestrian fare.

Most of the organizations still on Phabricator all seems to be switching to Phorge (https://phorge.it/).

I understand why Mozilla can't/won't go that route, but seeing organizations attempt to duct-tape solution together with Bugzilla, Phabricator, Jenkins and whatnot makes you appreciate what Atlassian has done with Jira, Bamboo and Bitbucket (even if Bamboo and Bitbucket aren't exactly industry leading). I suppose that Phabricator was intended to be a Jira/Bitbucket/Gerrit alternative of sorts, but just failed to get the required traction to survive.

It's not just open source projects, way to many companies are attempting to knit something together and they end up with this unholy mess of systems that sort of communicate, but not really. The saving grace is actually Git, because everything works with Git.
(2003) (but that’s not what matter).
It's pretty clear that with the performance that the game has it's a lot more than four models with bad LODs. They would probably have identified that issue within days. There's likely a more fundamental issue, not only with the technology but also with LODs for most detail models. These are only examples since you can't list every model out of hundreds being rendered.

I really think that the performance and scale indie developers can squeeze out puts AAA developers to shame nowadays, and I really hope that that'll continue to happen. All it takes is time, organisation, and a lot of time.
I am addressing the “but higher taxes will put companies out of business because lorries” straw man that appears a couple of times in the discussion. Taxes for family cars and for professional vehicles are effectively decoupled and can be adjusted independently.
> I know, if the price stays the same per unit of energy and i stop spendjng so much because of efficiency gains, i have a ton of other stuff i would love to do that consumes energy so my decrease in usage would be tiny.

Do you, though? What? I'm not sure how typical this is. Like, if you replace your creaky old gas central heating with proper insulation and a ground to air heat pump, you're going to be saving a _lot_ of energy if it's a big house. What would you use this extra energy 'budget' on?
