Do you genuinely believe that the AI consultants of 2023 were unemployed or in college in 2022?

Or maybe... could these people possibly have been [insert fad here] consultants for years beforehand, and therefore no significant net new jobs have been created so far?
There used to be some hacker tours of Shenzhen via Dangerous Prototypes and Noise Bridge. Any other recent or current ones?
Get back to me when there is enough infrastructure to support buying an EV as against an ICE car.

That means having an electrical grid that can support charging millions of cars every night, having sufficient charging stations that you don't have to queue up to access one, having sufficient charging stations that you can be assured of finding enough of them through rural, regional or desert areas. In other words, everywhere an ICE can go should be where an EV car can go. We are not at that level yet.

Oh. And the cost. Still far too high to be economical.
Recent 7.0.0 version has dropped old and introduced quite broken new query planner. Caused a lot of our queries to miss. We’ve had the displeasure to work with the support on multiple related issues.

The first tip I'd give is don't publish your technical report exclusively as a PDF, because those are bad for linking to, bad for searching, bad for copying-and-pasting out of, bad for reading on mobile phones, harder to crawl and index, and harder to update in the future.

If you really must have a PDF at least make a proper web page version first and then link to the PDF as an alternative format for people who really, really want it.

(This pet peeve aside, this is a good document with some excellent advice in it.)

Another problem with PDFs: since they don't particularly encourage having a single, unambiguous URL you can end up with confusing multiple copies of them floating around.

This post links to https://ias.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/2020-01-16_I... - which has 2023 in the file path, 2020 in the filename and declares it to be copyright 2015 in the actual document.

A search for "A guide to technical report writing iet" lead me instead to this document: https://www.theiet.org/media/5182/technical-report-writing.p... - same organization, similar content, different document design. Is this the updated version of that 2015 one? Hard to tell, because it doesn't have a date anywhere.

We can't mine enough gold every year to keep up with the rest of the economy.

To put it another way, if gold was money, there wouldn't be enough new money every year to buy all the stuff we come up in a year.

By decreeing gold to be money and money to be gold, we would be interfering with the market in a major way: artificially giving the value of gold a massive boost and cutting the value of all other things.

No, it's a comedy video, but life imitates art.
Doubt it. The next chapter for EVs will be truly affordable vehicles, which naturally tend to be smaller. And with a more compact size (and most likely less batteries) will come lower weight. Besides, ICE cars have gotten heavy, too. So the extra 400kg headroom that EVs have should give them a decent fighting chance.
Ventoy is a fantastic tool for this sort of thing: https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html
Probably basalt-lined pipe.
While this works, I find this method a bit tedious to use, at least compared to Ventoy [0].

Ventoy allows you to create a bootable USB containing any number of ISO files just by writing to a partition. It even supports Windows, and has some cool features like overriding Secure Boot on some machines.

While I'm not an Apple fanboy but I don't think it's Apple's fault that the ecosystem _they_ invested in became useful to them as well as their people.

Argument such as "everyone uses phones..." don't seem very conductive to a fruitful discussion. For an example, similar case can be made for all AI tech (ChatGPT, Gemini etc) as all major tech companies are doing AI development these days.

"Everyone is doing AI. One AI organisation shouldn't be able to ostracize customers of every other AI organisation, punish them, and deliberately cripple the experience for its users."

The above is the same argument from a different perspective and is making a similar case as yours but for ChatGPT and Gemini. I hope that am I able to contrast the similarities sufficiently.
"According to a recent report of 750 business leaders using AI from ResumeBuilder, 37% say the technology replaced workers in 2023. Meanwhile, 44% report that there will be layoffs in 2024 resulting from AI efficiency."

These are specific enough to be credible. If you talk to leaders in customer service / call center operations, they've been planning this for years.

Is this creating some new AI jobs? Sure. But that's a separate issue because peopel who are getting laid off aren't the ones taking up those new jobs.

The layoff has been happening.

Over 240 workers in a call center were laid off this week in KB Bank (a Korean bank) because AI-based consultation tool reduced call center volume by 20%.

Plenty of real life examples happening across the globe.

This is unfortunate. I find it interesting, there did not seem to enough revenue to shink business to ride through the tough market riding on existing revenue only...

This is why I love SaaS based of Open Source projects a lot - even if things do not work out and company has to shut down, customers may have more options.
Cast iron :P Seriously, aside from requiring more skill to work with and not surviving well with large DC leakage currents (think: DC traction power from light rail), it's got a lot of advantages.

Plastic piping in general is already disallowed in a lot of commercial construction.

ABS is a valid alternative in some parts of the country, but is often already banned from being used in even residential construction in places where it gets very cold in the winter, as it shatters easily.

I recently sold works from the belle époque era to raise some cash through the bear market and, aside from usual haggling, the high end gallery curators were scared that there was no interest in this era anymore, that all the collectors were 80 years old

I told them that millenials and gen Z loooove art nouveau, theyre just not in your networks and dont have the money yet

this was hard for them to understand, as they are also 70 and 80 years old and this aspect of the art world, social media virality with no associated indexing on google, has only recently occurred

I would definitely say following the money has some folly because it doesnt really tap into all sentiment. money is influenced by crowd sentiment and if you inspire the crowd, the moneyed interests FOMO

>Wind is roughly the same price as nuclear & fossil fuels but solar is still expensive.

Its LCOE is roughly 5x lower than nuclear power:

https://www.evwind.es/2023/10/05/the-drop-in-the-lcoe-of-sol...

>The numbers just aren’t positive for solar/wind helping us reach net 0 by 2050. Also, grid energy isn’t the only thing we need to fix. For example, you can’t power a commercial shipping vessel off of solar / batteries. You’d need nuclear reactors

The cost of nuclear power as shown above is *enormous*. The only reason it gets built at all is because it provides economic support to the military for maintaining and building nuclear arms:

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/oct/12/electricity-...

Or, in non-nuclear powers (like Sweden or Iran), to provide the skills and industry to quickly ramp up a fully fledged nuclear program while still adhering to the NPT.

It's a shame because the money would be far more efficiently spent on solar and wind capacity and also because nuclear weapons are, well, bad.
Hope we don’t go back to iron. Stuff is rotting away in my mothers home and her gaskets get destroyed by the rust and have to be replaced every year. I would like copper but but it is expensive and there are people who complain about the lead.
Company towns are a thing that have existed in the past, and the results are very well documented.

It's similar to company scrip (a thing Facebook tried to reintroduce a few years back), and in fact the two concepts support each other.

The net effect of both is to give the company extraordinary control of the lives of its employees beyond the time they're actually at work, and that power lets them functionally reduce compensation, and limit the freedom to work elsewhere (you can't get a new job without also moving, but it's also been made difficult to live outside of the company town while working for the company, etc).
In the northern part of the US, there's no good alternative for protecting buildings from the elements. You have brick, glass, wood, and vinyl...which is the nice one. It has to be plastic (for windows) to expand and contract, but be easy to replace. It has to be moisture/ice proof. It has to be durable to impact (due to wind and storm). Brick is fine, until it breaks down and is very poor for temperature control.

That's literally deflation.

I think even the most benevolent companies would find their role as town owner would present a lot of unanticipated and difficult conflicts.

It's just a situation everyone should want to avoid.
A lot of the entry-level, "city" EVs do indeed look stupid. This is less of a problem as you go up in the range though and indeed high-end EVs look barely any different than their ICE counterparts.
According to the fitment page, the 4-across model fits in a Corolla. I think it's unfair to call a Corolla "huge" in the context of the U.S. market, and it's certainly a lot smaller than a minivan.
OpenSSH has built-in support for retrieving a key fingerprint over DNSSec-secured DNS. It's disabled by default.

If you enable it, the first connection to a new host will say "matching host key fingerprint found in DNS" if DNSSec is operational AND the retrieved key matches.
The thing that quantum mechanics introduces here is the idea that there are conjugate variables (things which are the FT of each other), and that position and momentum is just one such pair.
I just bought one. I bet a lot of people reading this thread did.
I concur. They seem to have reinvented a part of the protocol without actually addressing many of the issues of SSH. The paper also doesn't bother to go into details on any the advancements that have been made to SSH since the original RFC, such as keyboard-interactive, GSSAPI, etc.

> Some SSH implementations such as OpenSSH or Tectia support other ways to authenticate users. Among them is the certificate-based user authentication: only users in possession of a certificate signed by a trusted certificate authority (CA) can gain access to the remote server [12]. Available for more than 10 years, this authentication method requires setting up a CA and distributing the certificates to new users and is still not commonly used nowadays.

Somebody had an agenda to make SSH look as bad as possible. You can implement OIDC authentication with keyboard-interactive, no need for HTTP/3 for that. However, it gets very tricky if you want automated / script access, so it doesn't solve the authentication problem.

As an aside, Tatu Ylonen, the original author of the SSH protocol, published a paper in 2019 titled "SSH Key Management Challenges and Requirements"[1], which is an interesting read. It would seem the authors of this paper should have at least read it.

I don't care if it's a company town. Affordable housing is far more important than any risk posed by company towns in our current market. If the government isn't willing to take drastic measures to increase the supply of housing, then we should applaud any attempts by industry to fill the gaps. We need to crash the housing market, with no survivors.

You are talking about the same - you are focusing on large multi-national who have political pressures from their home country regimes. This is about local talent which has grown over 30/40+ years and are impervious to all this nonsense. Just think them about them like Silicon Valley - insiders know how to take a tech idea to a product, including financing. Not sure about financing, but a insider in Shenzhen, especially on you side, can get your product done/
"Don't need" != "Don't want"; lots of marketing/lobbying by companies/countries who do want (e.g. OPEC); also the question was originally focussed on nuclear rather than of gas — nuclear is really expensive, gas isn't anything like so expensive, you can also do renewables + gas if you like (and many do), or promise to get around to shifting the gas in "gas" to hydrogen which could come from PV (something which other people are selling; while I'm not sold on it, I'm not in a position to matter, only one person is targeting me personally with the sales pitch for hydrogen and I'm sure they'll pop up in this thread soon enough…); also it's good to have a diverse supply even when one of the options looks really expensive, just so failures aren't correlated.
MongoDB’s SSPL is neither an open source license[1] nor, most likely, a free software one[2]. Its definition of offering the licensed software as a service is so broad most Linux distributions[3–6] flat out refuse to ship MongoDB (not even in a nonfree repository or the equivalent) so as to (among other things) avoid placing the operators of their package mirrors in legal jeopardy.

Is there an implementation of an APL-like language which transpiles to SIMD operations at the instruction set level?
Very good points and this goes back to my original comment.

The problem with YT Channels is of course they're there to optimize views for their revenue. From what I can see that's why they tend to target two audiences in terms of their content:

1) Pro law enforcement - show the worst of "criminals" and the best of police.

2) Anti law enforcement - show the worst of police.

Sadly there is plenty of content available for either and a viewer needs to make sure their content consumption diet includes both for a realistic view. Of course the YT algorithm is an element in this as well - if you want more of either it's more than happy to serve that up for you to further entrench your preconceived notions.
I would say weight is an other drawback... At larger diameters segments get heavy and that brings own risks. Including things like stress injuries for workers.
Provided you're actively and systematically looking for evidence, then absence of evidence is evidence of absence.

Yeah, obviously a creature with Haste or Trample or whatever is very easy to make a simple parser for. But I can imagine because WotC is so strict on how they word text on cards, even more advanced interactions would be pretty straight-forward to parse. Like, if a card says:

"When <card name> enters the battlefield, return target non-land card from your graveyard to your hand".

Both parts of that sentence is always worded the same, so it's probably quite straight-forward to make a parser for this: just have a parse rule for "When <card name> enters the battlefield, <triggered ability X>", with a database of triggered abilities (and their implementation) that include all the ones that have already been printed.

Foxconn is not Chinese. It is Taiwanese.

Your stance is essentially: “how dare they give jobs and homes to those workers!”

Company towns are like baking a fancy baked good. If someone else gets it wrong or you get it wrong, doesn’t mean you can’t try again.
I don't mind. People can go wherever they want. These are opinions. My opinion is traveling is overrated. Not only me though, world health organization thinks the same.
Company towns are still pretty common in China. My wife’s aunt lives at one in the middle of nowhere hunan, although this is the power sector. Lots of employers provide housing to employees, especially for lower wage jobs. Though this housing is often haphazard (eg waitresses converting the dining area into a sleeping area after closing).

Surely China has along way to go here, although things are much better than they were 20 years ago.
This is not a base load comparison, so not terribly meaningful.
I’m thoroughly confused by your first paragraph. It seems like it would be basically trivial to mandate acceptance of a digital ID system, at least within one of our 50 laboratories of democracy.

Step 1: State adopts digital ID system and mandates that subdivisions and political units of the state are required to accept it for identification purposes in their interactions with the public.
Step 2: Step 1 is extended to private actors.

What am I missing? I realize I’m completely handwaving away the details of implementation, as well as assuming that there’s at least one state that would make the political choice to accept a slightly higher baseline of ID misuse compared to a system that verifies that the instrument matches the bearer 99.99999% of the time, but conceptually it seems pretty straightforward. At the bottom of the digital ID, just put 8 pt letters reading “This digital ID constitutes legal identification of the person to which it has been issued for all purposes, public and private.” Boom, done.

I also don’t think there necessarily needs to be an incentive for businesses to invest in expensive card reader systems that phone home to a database and authenticate the QR displayed on the device. Instead, just change the law against selling liquor to kids saying that a good faith effort to validate the authenticity of state issued digital ID is a defense to prosecution under that law. In my state, at least, this is basically how it works now with physical ID cards.

Now, if you’re talking about an ID system operating at the federal and state level simultaneously or across state lines, another poster mentioned the still-not-fully-implemented 2005 Real ID Act and is a fair comment on the difficulties that would exist in coming up with a framework that would work on a many-to-many basis for every purpose for which each type of state ID documents is used.

Or if you’re unwilling to accept the shortcomings of the existing ID card regime (older siblings? doppelgängers?), then sure, you can come up with system requirements that try to eliminate every edge case that exists, and you can have an expensive and administratively burdensome physical AND digital ID system.

But otherwise, I think it would be conceptually pretty simple for a state to create a widely used digital ID ecosystem within that state.
Yeah they’re not going to give free money to everyone. With the GOP in power you won’t be sleeping in your car, you’ll be in jail because that’s more aligned with their policies.
