When it comes to storage there are also a lot of other technologies that may be viable if solar/wind are built out to the point where they are particularly over-subscribed (meaning that on a particularly windy/sunny day they provide much, much more than 100% of demand).

For example, using things like clean hydrogen or Power-to-methane processes that can create gas to be used in existing peaker plants.
Those ones are unrelated to exposing browser APIs directly to WASM code.

The Raspi foundation isn't open. Full stop.

They don't share schematics. They don't share source code. They barely tell you anything about the custom chip(s) they're now putting in the raspi for GPIO and ethernet/USB. You can't buy them. Hell, they've used custom SoCs made for them by broadcom for years now, which they have exclusive access to.

The only "openness" that the raspi foundation engages in is upstreaming of drivers into the mainline kernel and into mesa, which is ultimately self-serving in the end. It reduces the burden on their end of carrying patches for their kernel and ensures other linux distros also pick up some of the slack supporting their products.

As for those broadcom chips? get used to it. All modern hardware of any reasonable capability has all the docs sealed behind NDAs that you have to buy a LOT of chips to even get offered. Even then you're expected to take the package deal that the silicon vendor hands you and not invent anything yourself. Chipmakers offer "full ecosystem solutions," not general-purpose parts.

I was unclear, I apologize. The 'quick testing' isn't really testing imho. (basically no unit test, small integration tests with the data I could steal from the prod DB). It takes around 20% of the time (or 1/6 in my example taken from my last project). The 80% coverage that include mocking and unit test double that time.

I am always extremely clear with my estimates being just that, estimates, and that a complete testing double dev time. Most of the time I'm told 'we don't care right now', but on some projects, management accept longer dev time for more stability and less bugs (we build internal tools).

Your answer sums up perfectly why I am so strongly against EA. The idea that you can quantify your donation to bed nets in terms of something so arbitrary as “lives saved”, without taking into account the extremely complex social environment at which that donation is arriving, is completely opposite to my beliefs. It is basically the same as measuring something like “what’s the benefit of an individual vote?”

The idea that you really believe that as an EA you are having “harder” conversations and you are more “forced” to be clear about what you do than other non-effective altruists is just baffling to me.
I always felt email obfuscation is just a cargo cult and the reduction in spam is only from improvements in anti-spam tech.

I never obfuscated my address and pretty much haven't seen spam since first days of Gmail. And very little even before then thanks to SpamAssassin.

Also raw email addresses can be easily harvested from git repos, mailing list archives and possibly other sources. A lot of technical people who chose to obfuscate likely posted to one such system at some point.

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). The point about the scaling is that it is not linear: if you double the weight over an axle, you get 16 times the wear but perhaps 1.5-2x the fuel consumption. For this reason I dispute that fuel duty effectively taxes the (externalities due to the) weight of cars. Though I concede that wasn’t really the point you were making.

RAM is always expensive no matter where you get it from.

Would you rather do two hours of work or force thousands of people to buy more RAM because your library is a memory hog?

And on embedded systems RAM is a premium. More RAM = most cost.
For me it depends on context; Pain exists for a purpose (i.e don't put wait on a broken leg otherwise you could extend healing time or make things worse) but if technology allows us to mitigate the potential problems (i.e fixing the bone and apply a cast will allow you to walk but not add strain) getting ride of pain in the meantime is probably a net good.

If you have chronic pain of some sort and you use substances to mask that pain the root problem hasn't been addressed and still exists, you just won't be aware of it. If loosing awareness (which at its simplest is what painkillers do) of the ongoing problem is okey with you by all means take a substance to mask it, just don't be surprised when the original problem grows worse latter.

Im okey with people masking or not masking. It should be a personal choice free of judgement.

There are two guys and both are extremely depressed. One guy decides to seek out a therapist and has a meeting set for two weeks from now, the other guy decides to take MDMA/LSD/shrooms (or whatever) every day. He feels amazing and is living his best life every day. The first guy is super depressed day to day but maybe the therapy will help...

The next week they are on a plane together that crashes. Who made the better decision?

Alternatively they don't die and instead live decades more. The first guy got to the root of his issues and lived a very happy life while the second eventually burned out and fell into even deeper depression for his remaining years. Who made the better decision?

It is not fair for us to judge others on how they would like to treat their own bodies and minds. We don't know the totality of their path through life.
I mean, it's exactly like the cable era, except that over-the-top-distributors+studio vertical integrations are the new "channel bundles", we've cut the bundler intermediary out of the revenue stream (e.g. cable provider), and everything is also on-demand.

Tell me you do not understand logistics without saying you do not understand logistics. America cannot be invaded other than by mexico or canada. Do you have any idea what kind of effort it would take to support cross-ocean supply chains for a modern army? A modern army would run out of fuel in two days without constant resupply. And out of food in three.
In general, JSON comes over the network, so MMAP won't really work unless you save to a file. But then you'll run out of disk space.

Running counter to that is my fear that such data could never be kept secure. I don't want it for that reason, and I question whether what I already have is a good idea.

I am also disturbed that corporations and law enforcement have a version of that panopticon for me that can only be used against me.

The "granny" example is just awful. That it's in fairly poor taste could be forgiven if it were in service of a salient point. As the author says:

I’m not going to spell it out for you, but you can guess where this is heading.

But maybe he should have spelled it out a bit more.

- Surely maximizing pleasure goes along with minimizing suffering. (...right?? It boggles the mind that the author wouldn't address this.) That granny "can’t experience much pleasure even under the best circumstances" (itself dubious on its face) ought to be irrelevant.

- In the author's surprisingly simplistic analysis, the "long-term holistic effects" of selling granny are limited to Granny's suffering and the pleasure of the traffickers' clients. Off the top of my head, he failed to account for:

The suffering of his family from losing their grandmother.

The "long term holistic effects" of someone patronizing a sex trafficker for sex. What if they ruin their marriage in doing so? What about their kids?

The sex traffickers' profit from all these transactions. They might use that profit to acquire much younger victims who are still "capable" of feeling pleasure - oh no!

---

This may sound like a gross parody of a philosophical system. But variants of this way of thinking are everywhere in Anglo-American philosophy, inherited from Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill, and other utilitarians. They were the geniuses who decided that morality must aim at maximizing pleasure.

Except that the link in this _very paragraph_ describes Bentham's "felicific calculus", which BALANCES pleasure and pain to approximate the moral rightness of an action. So what is the point of this piece?

On top of that, it's way too long, the self-labeled stories/jokes are presented more or less without context or justification, and this:

By the way, it’s ironic that Sam Bankman-Fried is going to prison. That’s because the key progenitor of his consequentialist ethics, a curious man named Jeremy Bentham, actually invented a prison

is not irony!

> A process which Monstantos internal discussions assumed to be completely under its control.

you are mixing up writing and reviewing paper

it's very obvious that this paper was not under any control of Monsanto

> You are going even a step further and skipping any evidence entirely

I'm not a non peer reviewed paper is no evidence at all, that given example is the best proof because pretty much all evidence went away once errors where found in peer review and corrected. Furthermore it where errors which if you understand enough about the topic where kind pretty clear, i.e. in no way any Monsanto twisted any truth think. So pretty clearly the judge did a decision which isn't based on any facts.

> I think the talk was more about using contacts to shut down the studies while in progress or outright put pressure on the people involved to "correct" the results.

but this doesn't make it okay to not wait for a peer review in any way, also there is a non small well known group of people which are very clearly not in favor of glyphosat and scientist and outside of the reach of Monsanto it's not that you can't cross review their reviews and feedbacks of the paper with other "more neutral" (but maybe Monsanto pressured) people

either way a fundamental aspect of non scientific papers is _that anything in non peer reviewed papers must be seen as not yet proven and speculative_ ((not necessary in exactly that wording)) and a judge ignoring the some of the most fundamental aspects of scientific practice but then basing a ruling on scientific practice is just ridiculous
Oh -- yes I did actually. Forgot about that till just now.
A 4090 280W limit will perform similarly to its unlimited configuration on CUDA workloads. As another commenter said blower style fans are fine for this. The segmentation around NVLink is what makes this worthless. And anyway, they could equip it with 48GB of RAM, like the L40 part. It's all bullshit.
Which can't be bought by individuals. And even then, buy the same OS again so that it can run on the same hardware?

I don't quite understand what you mean. WASM modules don't have direct access to anything. They have to be granted capabilities from by the host. Are you referring to optimizations that various engines do where they recognize well-known imports like Math.sin and compile things such that they don't invoke JS at all?

> What this means I suppose is that the streaming service have managed to recreate the cable era, but in some aspects also made things worse than before.

I disagree. It’s not as good as the golden era of streaming when everything was on Netflix for 1 low price, but we’re still wayyyyyy above where cable was before.

You don’t have to sign any contracts and you can go the website and make 3 clicks to cancel the service.

Also everything is available on demand, you don’t have to be watching at the exact time the show or movie airs.
Out of curiosity, what streaming services do people have, and why? For me...

- Paramount+: Scripted + Star Trek
- Disney+: Kids
- Amazon: Prime (thinking of canceling. Patriot was the last thing I enjoyed)
- HBO/Max: Scripted
- PBS (although it's free...)

Was thinking of adding Kanopy for classic stuff.
So it’s not exactly the same. You do not need special equipment from the monopoly cable company, you do not need to enter into a contract, you can cancel at a moment’s notice and buy a month here or there with a few clicks, all which was impossible with cable/satellite tv.
What DNS are you using?
Yep, it’s a rolling 2 MiB buffer in RAM. Also do some snapshotting for persistence / server fault-tolerance, and that size is much smaller.
Yes, we own a hybrid so some of that space is eaten by a battery. And the rest of it is taken by all the stuff we always keep around the car.

And yeah, it's kind of hard to classify UXs. Wiki says it's a "subcompact crossover suv" so go figure. Don't really care, for me it's just a nice reasonably sized car.
The best I can say is that's analogous to asking if you can only use Emacs for Emacs Lisp code.
I really haven't spent much time in the western half of the state. TRNP and the Maah Daah Hey Trail would probably interest you. Little Missouri State Park is nice for camping.

I grew up in North central ND by the Turtle Mountains (they're not mountains, just hills). It's nice up there, but I don't know about nice enough to go out of your way to visit. Further east there are a couple of state parks that are nice, Icelandic State Park and Turtle River State Park, but again, not worth traveling from out of state in my opinion.

I've lived in Fargo for most of the past 15 years and it's a perfect small city to me. There's enough art and music stuff and outdoors events (in the summer) to stay interesting. Small enough you can get from one side of town to the other in 20 minutes. 3.5 hour drive to Minneapolis for any big city stuff.

And in regards to Teddy Roosevelt, I think most people here just don't even have an opinion on him.

> I imagine lots of backend developers never really thought

There is a lot of snobbery and arrogance from "pure" backend developers who think JavaScript is some limited toy language. If it is not C++ or Rust or even Go (...assuming they are ok with the GC) then to them it is not worth wasting a milliseconds time on while they go off and fetishise over their copy semantics for their CRUD website backend.

Modern JavaScript is highly performant and the DX is second-to-none (unless you are using anything related to NPM). JavaScript and Typescript freed from the NPM nonsense is an absolute joy to work with.

I look forward to the inevitable dominance of JavaScript on the backend.
