Can we put our conspiracy hats on for the moment, safely?
Oh, it definitely is real. The first year I was at my current job I didn't use my entire budget. I won't make that mistake again.
"I think it is safe to say we are already well equipped with it, and whatever our plans for its reduction are, we won't eliminate it."

The CO2 current levels in the atmosphere are 0.04%. Levels in the past were well above 1%.

"As a point of reference, pre-industrial CO2 levels were around 280 parts per million (ppm) and today, we stand near 420 ppm.

The most distant period in time for which we have estimated CO2 levels is around the Ordovician period, 500 million years ago. At the time, atmospheric CO2 concentration was at a whopping 3000 to 9000 ppm! The average temperature wasn’t much more than 10 degrees C above today’s, and those of you who have heard of the runaway hothouse Earth scenario may wonder why it didn’t happen then. Major factors were that the Sun was cooler, and the planet’s orbital cycles were different."

They somehow knew that the Sun was cooler then, so that was not a problem. Yeah, right. But now, it would be.
Not an American, so I don't really want to engage in your culture wars, but still... your comment is very Chomsky-ite.

The slavery part is questionable. While slavery made money for the slave owners, the South as a whole was poor and couldn't keep up with the North when it came to actual economic activity. That is why they lost their war of survival.

Looking at other slave-owning societies of the 1800s, none can be described as particularly rich today. One of the reasons why slavery died out in the Western world was that it was becoming uneconomical in a world that was shifting from agriculture to industry. Even the Nazis often lost money on their slave-operated industries; people are just too clever not to be able to sabotage such subtle operations if they hate you enough. Slavery is really only economically efficient in sex, back-breaking work in the fields or mines, or possibly household help.

"Quasi-vassality" is a Putinesque formulation. Neither Japan nor Germany are in any sense of the word American vassal states. They are kept in the American-led coalition mostly by their self-interest, because taking part in a global trade network is, for industrial powers like those two, much preferable to not doing so. And if they find any American political or military action questionable, they stay out of it, unlike actual vassals, who were usually compelled to provide manpower for their liege's wars.

Neither Japan nor Germany engaged themselves in Vietnam or Iraq, for example.
Apparently the whole scene was a single spline. Assuming it was indeed a single RT render take, its definitely a jaw dropping demo. Curious to learn if this turns out to be just vaporware or actually an epic redemption arc.
So, transport the wood emitting some GHG doing it. No problems with that plan whatsoever. ;)

Actually mines tend to get wet and require serious drainage (pumps) to exploit. They're only dry for the moment, over time they will become waterlogged.

> They aren’t really designed to do anything actually. LLMs are models of human languages - it’s literally in the name, Large Language Model .

No. And the article you linked to does not say that (because Wolfram is not an idiot).

Transformers are designed and trained specifically for solving NLP tasks.

> I’m sorry but I don’t trust something that uses a random number generator as part of its output generation.

The human brain also has stochastic behaviour.
But that's 3x the price and doesn't have a pad, but a touch-screen that might be OK for changing config but not the best for playing. Nothing again the Blackbox, AFAIK it's great, but I think it's a completely different beast than the EP-133.

It could be a great upgrade for the (awful and buggy [0] that never got a firmware upgrade even when it's still being sold after 10 years...) AKAI MPX 8.

SoundCloud is my main thing these days, it seems to have way more of the niche stuff I'm interested in (like game music). Thought it wasn't particularly popular, but I happily recommend it.
I've been using Qobuz (along with my own Navidrome instance) for the past year. The depth of music in some genres seems pretty good, and seems to have all the mainstream artists, but once you get past them in indie/pop/rock genres the gaps in the catalog really start to show. I've reached out to some artists, and no one seems quite clear why their releases don't appear in Qobuz when they appear in all of the competition. Unfortunately, none of the competition makes lossless streaming available (and I'm not counting Tidal's MQA, even if it was available on Linux).

When I joined they had some social features, and searching for user created playlists seems possible. The last couple of times I've tried I've only gotten Qobuz's official playlists in search results. I've had to make do with syncing playlists from Spotify with Soundiiz.

When combined with how inaccurate the metadata is (including the lack of ability to report the inaccurate metadata) and the lack of any new features in the past year (including lack of copying pre-saves from every other platform), it really seems like investment in Qobuz has stalled.

It's too bad, because it seemed pretty promising. I really miss Rdio. :'(

For listening to Navidrome on the go I use the "substreamer" app on Android. The "Podcast Republic" app also works well for listening to college radio streams to find new artists.

Disclaimer: I was previously at Grooveshark.
I mean, a more fair way would be to split each subscriber's bill by the artists _they_ listened to. That would favor small / local artists more.
I don’t know if speed cameras in LA are legal or not but something like a typical European speed cam setup would be probably less than the salary of one police officer for a year and they could easily get rid of one police officer for a year if they installed one of those.

The problem is that the desire isn’t really to curb traffic issues here. The existence of this ticketing setup serves several purposes, but ensuring the health and safety of the populace by reducing speed is only a secondary goal here, if even a goal.
there are dac approaches that do not require steel, composites, high pressures, or turbopumps; historically they have not been competitive because they use more energy

I think Android dev is unnecessarily designed in a way that makes saving data require a lot of code. If you know what you're doing, you can mmap a file, put all your working memory in there, and let the OS save it for you. No serialization or parsing necessary and memory access is exactly the same as usual with no overhead. You'd think that using a managed language would make it easier to abstract and support this kind of thing but seems they'd rather require all app devs do manual saving and reloading of their app data.
This may be an unpopular opinion but streaming music prices have to rise for artists to get a fair deal.

Current prices are an incredible bargain and only so because they don’t reflect the true value of the product.

Anything else is just trying to square the circle.
Blender's shader graph and geometry nodes seem like a fun/easy intro that I've been meaning to try. May not be 'programming' in the literal sense of typing text on the screen to produce graphics, but I'm hoping it would give a conceptual graph of how to produce the images I want that I could later transform into code if needed. Please correct me if I'm wrong as I haven't dove in.
I think the question can be will a user wants to see 1M rows at a time. Probably no.

Spreadsheet uses virtualisation to display data, ie only data viewable in a Row x Column viewport is displayed. This improves rendering performance.

Data performance can be improved by
1. Lazy loading data or Infinite scrolling. We have a built-in async hook that does this.
2. Only save pointers to data that is being displayed. So if you have 1M rows, on the JavaScript side, you only load 100 rows in memory and when user scrolls, you can replace this rows with new data. This will make the browser happy.
3. Streaming data from the server similar to google sheets.

But to answer your question, we have a Max row limit of 1_048_576 and max column limit of 16_384
This can be induced. This is 90-95% the rule for those who practice what’s known as “astral projection,” as compared to the articles figure of ten percent of the population, for those who have this “syndrome”.

Granted, the name sounds gimmicky, but it’s a very real phenomenon in which the mind remains awake, while the body goes to sleep. It carries with it very distinct, consistent sensations.

While different from a lucid dream, lucid dreams are often used as a segue to this state of consciousness.

Typically, meditation and trance induction techniques are used to reach this state, while many also have no control over it, and they go much, if not all of their lives, assuming it’s like that for everyone. Interestingly, I’d venture an experienced guess and say this occurs in roughly five to ten percent of the population, which is also the number of people who reportedly have this issue in its “syndrome” form. I wonder if there’s a connection?
Obviously, the same area of the brain is being activated (or deactivated).

I also wonder if this group of individuals (most of the commenters here) are naturally predisposed to experiencing astral projection on command. It typically takes significant dedication and practice to overcome your mind falling asleep along with your body.

After 25 years of practice, the sounds remain the same for me; a coin, wobbling on the counter getting ready to come to a stop— although much louder. Low frequency noises such as that of an idling ship, and the sound that air makes, swooshing and sucking about, as it escapes from a vacuum. All of these are very typically accompanied by various crackling, popping, and banging.

Additionally, the flashing of lights, sparks, or “energy”, sometimes colorful, sometimes not, is extremely common, if not a requirement, to reaching this state, and this is usually accompanied by a vibrating sensation, which can be intense, but also is harmless.

It seems that whatever this syndrome is, it affects the region/s of the brain responsible for regulating the transition between various states of consciousness.

At this point, classic astral projection would have (or be very close) progressed to feelings of separation or detachment from your body, levitation, and ethereal, hyper-realistic, yet dreamlike, imagery.

It would be interesting to know if researchers have looked at the studies performed on astral projection over the years to see if any of it can be borrowed to assist with determining the cause, if any, of this.

For anyone who experiences noises while falling asleep-do any of the other sensations I mentioned sound familiar to you? Personally, if I didn’t already know better, I would be keen on studying AP to determine if I was naturally inclined for it.

The freedom to fail.

When I compare software corporate leadership versus military leadership this is the thing that sticks out the most. In corporate software (at least in web dev) everyone is treated like a small child who needs their hands held and must be protected from themselves by a parent who pretends to care about their output. That is stupid.

Look, the only purpose of software is automation. If you want to impose a bunch of safety and sanity checks stop the bike shedding insanity and instead automate the shit out of it. As someone who has written a test automation application for the browser it isn’t hard, and yet it’s treated as a separate speciality.

When people are allowed to fail they are empowered to succeed.

As for simh I did keep binaries on the old sourceforge page ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/simh/ ) although it's not the aggressive new one on github. I know people cry about sourceforge but they went under new management years ago and fired everyone responsible for that piggyback fiasco.
The article doesn't say what the new law requires in any way at all. How is what Spotify already pays not enough under the new law?
I'm not sure I agree, the ISP rents the bandwidth off the "main" provider on equal terms so the competition stems from the quality of the support and service that comes with that... there's a reason why AA have such an outstanding reputation and also why they aren't the cheapest.
Did someone say Streisand Effect?
your figures on carbon capture energy costs are incorrect, because we don't have to reduce the carbon dioxide back to carbon to sequester it

your conception of human nature may also be unrealistic; unlimited warfare is another possible result of unlimited energy
That is how it should be infrastructure is government funded people compete to provide services on it. Just like most roads/highways are. Asking 4-5 different isp to do the infrastructure independently would increase costs by 4-5 times then they would be competing for customers so payback period for infrastructure investment is up in the air. This is the main reason USA has problems with monopolistic isp as who the fuck invest in infrastructure when another isp is already there. So they all build in there own areas and cost of infrastructure become the most that keeps other out.
This behavior would be fully explained if the Akamai <-> Zen interconnect is simply overloaded.

Internet connectivity is not transitive, throwing a VPN into the mix changes the A <-> B scenario to A <-> C <-> B, which can have very different properties, since the paths may have very little in common. For multihomed A and B, the paths may in fact have nothing in common at all.

Same applies to IPv4 vs. IPv6, the routing may be entirely different, especially with a CDN you might even straight up get a different CDN instance.
> actively contributing to a dystopia or at least a much worse society,

This premise seems a stretch when applying it to Google. Most of us "sell our souls" to more-or-less terrible corporations for money. The point with Google is that it set much higher standards for corporate behavior, and those standards are now reverting to mean.
This feature works surprisingly well- for example, at some point my IPhone recently gained the ability to recognise individual pets by name. This was super exciting for my kid!

Yeah I was reading about this last week on Twitter ( https://twitter.com/EricNewcomer/status/1725633569056506282 ) - the departure was "under explored".

I have to imagine that the industry does not appreciate this kind of attention from the mainstream press. Everybody is making loads of money -- does it really matter if a particular business deal went south in a particular way? Maybe it's better if we all just focus on the exciting new things that are being built and all the value we're creating for the world and ourselves.
> A wall of faces staring at your neck is not what any real in-person thing feels like. A wall of facings looking in your eyes isn’t, either, for that matter, but the constantly-averted-gazes do add even more to the weirdness.

Maybe I just watch wayyy too much CNN, but this has never been weird to me and its fatigues me vastly less than bullshit commuting/travel

Edit: I like how any time normies start having access to rich people shit like Zooming for work, the rich do AnimalPlanet type documentary-style media campaigns about how the lower among us simply can't handle it and it needs to be gently but forecefully brought to a smooth transition until closure or the point at which they can massage through enough pointed legislation/social pressure

Not to mention mammals didn't exist. And even then it caused mass extinctions of shelled waterborne organisms.

If you can’t spot a flaw in the facts or the arguments, I guess you can always cast doubt on the credibility of organizations presenting the facts and arguments. That way you don’t have to think about something that’s making you uncomfortable to think about.
They can’t demand higher prices because their main competitor, piracy, is free.

I’ve long been opposed to piracy and thought copyright laws should be more strictly enforced, for exactly this reason. Yet most people seem to balk at that idea and think they have an absolute moral right to free content. I’m not sure why.
I still use it, it's fine, but with enough annoyances that leaves me thinking if the grass is greener elsewhere.

Same. I switched back to Spotify though because I missed the vast amount of user generated playlists you can look up on spotify. Also, Spotify caches a lot more than Tidal, so it performs better when I'm walking around connected to my spotty college wifi.

But in terms of unit economics, the bigger artists/labels (or the artists that bring more users) are responsible for funding the entire platform, no?

In other words: A small artist can _bring_ users to the platform, fair enough, but the platform that gives access to other artists and enables that needs to take the bigger share.

Meh. Geoengineering is the actual solution, even thought it's politically impossible to voice. See global warming after ships stopped burning sulfur. We're stuck on "carbon" as if this is the only variable we can control.

A mix of naturalistic fallacy with tribalism, maybe? The politically correct truth is that carbon is the only thing we've ever changed in nature, so it's the proper and safe act to move it back. Any attempt to point out that neither is true gets coded as a political attack and wrongthink.

Either way it's a non issue. AIG or not, we're definitely going to have at least much better ML models allowing for real predictions of interventions. Chances of global warming actually being a problem long term are hovering around zero right now.

I recall in some interview that Rockstar never wants to show footage of the development process or have any "behind the scenes". Even video interviews at their office is rare (I know of only one). Their reason for it is that it would ruin the "magic" when you play the game.
Especially back in the day, you'd pop in the DVD in the PS2, and you'd get to see Liberty/Vice city or San Andreas quickly (— no install required).
You rarely see an interview of a producer/developer as well.
