There has been more and more “GPU chauvinism” over the past decade. For whatever reason many people have come to see the GPU architecture as the pinnacle of modern computing, seemingly unaware of its limitations. Although CPUs are boring in comparison, they most often don’t require special toolchains, shader languages, near and far memory, etc. Moreover, SIMD instruction sets like AVX-512 or SVE2 offer extremely impressive performance, often negating the need for a GPU altogether.

Of course this isn’t to be dismissive of GPUs, they are a welcome addition to the compute stack. But the humble CPU should not be underestimated.

There is no “too big” in databases and in particular size of data is not the criterion for deciding on using something like event sourcing. It’s a really niche paradigm that is only ever going to be useful in quite unusual circumstances. Most of the time people don’t need it, and most of the time when people do it, they find their immutable event source is very inconvenient for lots of the normal things you want to do with your data, so they end up doing something like CQRS[1] (ie having a database as well). This is one of those Martin Fowler[2] type things that looks good on a whiteboard but most people would be better off avoiding most of the time.

They could without question set up a very nice physical library in Mountain View and even invite the public in. They can probably in general scan those books for their own internal use. What got shut down was scanning the books and making them available to everyone in their entirety.
Shame about the wildfires. We'll just let the fossil fuel giants off the hook

You can run Windows on commodity hardware. You can easily get a Windows VM billed by the minute. macOS is only licensed to run on Apple hardware (and will soon be impossible to run on a commodity x86 machine) and there are licensing restrictions that make macOS VMs on EC2 require a 24-hour minimum bill.

It should be more extreme for regions/countries closer to the North Pole. Temperature anomalies for i.e. Siberia had been more than +4ºC in recent years. And those regions may weight more than others because the positive feedback loops happening there that will affect the whole planet.

You have to consider selection bias here: people live where they can afford to, not necessarily where they’d like. You aren’t seeing what people who were excluded on price or racial lines would want, and you’re not seeing how many people truly want only that style versus not disliking it enough to organize a political movement, since depending on the area that can require things like supermajorities and even nullifying covenants in deeds.

This also hits the tension cities have for balancing the interests of long-term residents against the future. Lots of places have this dynamic now where old retirees block any changes either because they’re opposed to change or fearful of losing the equity which is most of their retirement, but anyone looking at the city finances knows that they need more residents, especially of working age, and that includes lower income families if you want to be able to have service workers, city employees, etc. actually live there. This is especially true in places like California where old residents pay far less in taxes but have equally high, if not higher, expectations for city services.

If there was a 10% increase in one area and an 80% decrease in two others I would still be okay saying half as much. And then there is some wiggle room in how you weight the categories.

I used to be an archeologist and had a checklist of similar preparations before I would head out to the field. However, unlike the article, I couldn't pack two of everything because I had to carry it myself alongside whatever gear, shovels, samples, sieves, survey equipment, etc I had.

A few things I learned though:

* FOSS software was consistently the most reliable stuff I used, as it wouldn't automatically lock itself if it couldn't see the Internet every 30 days.

* You need to be much more thoughtful about the code you write. Think twice, write once.

* Stick to a daily power budget, and cut it in half from what you can nominally afford.

* Prioritize properly. In many cases, the electronics are not the most important thing to be handled. Don't babysit them, go do camp chores and sieve dirt if it needs doing.
It's probably because "+1" and "yup" comments are discouraged, so the people that immediately feel like they have something to add are the ones that think the article is not telling the whole story. At least, that's my guess. I would expect that a representative poll (https://news.ycombinator.com/newpoll might be a starting point) would show an overwhelming majority of readers/commenters does think global warming is real and caused by human emissions.
Temporal databases make a lot of sense for financial data, for example.

But in most cases you can just have a normal database and store the historic changes in auxiliary tables. So the main database is kind of a materialized view.
There’s not really anything wrong with the SwiftUI API. The implementation is just terrible, especially on macOS.

I assume he means with the encrypted metadata in HTTP/3 / QUIC that it makes it harder as a security admin to "peek" at what is going on in the network.

In my opinion its short sighted, because if we care about security, then we should care about user security and privacy as well. Because if the security admin has the ability to packet inspect stuff, so does a potential malicious app.

Adobe are the new Oracle. They've just last week been sued [1] for the same shady privacy practices that Oracle got sued for recently [2]

I'm curious how quickly they'll revert this shit after a high charge back rate on their credit card transactions. Banks don't like that, Adobe will pay the fees, and for these amounts it doesn't make sense for them to go to court to make some random consumer pay the "cancellation fee" especially if that consumer claims never to have signed up for 12 months. No way to prove that easily, and you can't really collect on a disputed claim like this without proving a sign-up.

Cloudflare offers this as a service. It’s obviously a second class citizen (it’s intensely buggy, has low availability, doesn’t work especially well even on a good day, has incoherent configuration, and no support whatsoever).

On the other hand, all Cloudflare configuration seems incoherent, and it gets more so over time. I was recently highly entertained when I tried to access one of the Zero Trust [0] pages. The UI cheerfully informed me that only the new UI could configure Zero Trust, and it redirected me to a new domain that was IIRC “one.dash.cloudflare.com”. You can’t make this up — maybe it’s called One Trust internally? The new panel looked quite a lot like the old one except that the Zero Trust pages worked.

Well, “worked”. None of the Zero Trust config makes any sense.

[0] Is there any logic at all to what lives under the Zero Trust umbrella?

A few years ago, I learned as much as I could about vitamins and how to buy them.

Multivitamin pills are the worst bang for the buck. Amounts of actual vitamins are very small. It's better to buy mono-vitamin pills.

Many of the vitamins have no strong evidence of usefulness. I keep buying Omega-3, D3+K2, Magnesium and B, specially B1 but there are good compounds.

Magnesium is ridiculously difficult to source in good quantities, the labels are consistently misleading, bordering the scam. Happens with all, but Mg is the worst offender.

If you were to set this up as a Schrödingers classical wave equation with a periodic boundary condition, (real and imagined parts) in one dimension, it would evolve exactly in this way into its own Fourier transform and then back.

I only know this because I simulated it, I don’t know why that is the case. Perhaps someone better at the math can fill in the details.

It seems reasonable to assume that a similar surplus of investable funds with no where left to spend it will create similar conflict both here and in space (given how many of our ultra elite are pushing into outer space for the next great fortune).
What is that supposed to mean? Many people want equal rights and justice for everyone. What I'm doubting is whether your particular ideas for achieving that are appropriate. Good intentions alone don't solve problems. Feel free to explain, or don't if you don't want to, but there's no point in being snarky about it.
So you 'loathe' not knowing every possible consequence of saying a true thing?

When it comes to the number of months in the year, 10 is an entirely arbitrary number because, unlike the metric system, there's no opportunity to leverage the convenient zero-shifting property of a base-10 numeral system (the concept of "kilomonths" and "megamonths" is incoherent as a unit of measure given that the number of days in a year is not divisible by 10). Might as well just smooth out the current 12 months (12 being a more highly composite number than 10) to 30 days each and then save the leftover days for a worldwide party outside of time.
This is the way. It’s entirely guilt-free, too. The thought of not paying Adobe a single dime of subscriptions actually makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. You - yes, you - should definitely try it sometime.
It’s much easier in audio equipment where there haven’t been any real advancements in the last 30 years.

That version of Tux seems to be an arbitrary glossy version. There are others, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tux_(mascot)#/media/File:TuxFl...

> if you take a look at the numbers above it's not that bad and we drive a new, safe, no issues (free servicing) car every 3-4 years.

Driving a new car every few years is incredibly decadent.

If you bought a car, paid it off in 5 years and drove it for another 10, you’d be saving thousands every year. Repeat that cycle every 15 years and invest the savings, and you’re talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars in trade-off costs over the course of a lifetime. That might be a reasonable trade-off for folks who are in great shape financially (I’ll certainly be doing it once retirement is funded!), but it’s pure foolishness for the average household.

Lot of negative comments so thought I should counter as I quite liked it. The article style isn’t great but I get the impression it was only ever meant to be a toe dip into one aspect of thinking about events.

I’ve worked at a couple of places that have had a lot of success with EDA, DDD and microservices. I’m sure these patterns are considered by many as buzzwords but they’ve been around for a long, long time now and they can be very effective. There’s no such thing as a silver bullet but the problems these ideas look to solve I’ve experienced very often, so I don’t buy into it being a solution in search of a problem.

> a similar surplus of investable funds with no where left to spend it

Neither the beginning of WWI nor today are characterised with a lack of investment opportunities. If anything, economic disparity increases when investment opportunities are aplenty because that typically characterises a period of change.
They already have too much stuff and never have enough labor as it is. The Smithsonian collection, for example, has 155 million specimens. The major DC museums between them have nearly a billion items, 99.9% of which are in permanent storage and 90% of which have never been studied beyond a quick catalog by an intern. That’s just DC. European collections are 10-100x larger per capita.

Humans have created an absurd number of artifacts and what’s valuable isn’t the items but the time spent studying them. Just dumping a collection on someone isn’t doing them any favors, just handing them an obligation.
A collection of logos is clearly fair use. No one is purporting that these are anything other than the logo of whatever it is the logo of. Now if you started using these logos to misrepresent an affiliation or something, now that would be open you up to a civil lawsuit.

Don’t overthink this. If you needed a letter from a lawyer for every logo then Wikipedia wouldn’t have logos on every business page, and companies wouldnt often have press kits distributing high quality logos in various formats suitable for high quality replication.
I've kept notebooks for over 25 years now. At this point I think I have about a hundred sitting in my garage in a box. Theres mostly nothing of much import in their contents. Notes from work, grocery lists, todo lists, etc. But there are also journal entries and descriptions of things that have happened in my life that bring me back in ways that no photo can. Theres poetry and song lyrics in there. Hopes and dreams. You can follow my struggles with addiction and eventual victory. You can see what a childish, selfish person I used to be and (hopefully) how I've grown out of most of that. It's an unvarnished and real account of my life and who I am. I've considered throwing them out because the idea of someone I love reading through all that terrifies me. I can't bring myself to do it though because it all happened and it existing on the page like that makes it somehow more substantial.
I think part of this is that a lot of “scientists say” advice that makes it to the mainstream is mostly a media creation.

Somewhere down the trail of sources is a scientific paper measuring the affect of a difference in X in Y specific population.

Then the magazine / newspaper / newsblog article comes out as “Is X killing you? Scientists say cut it out of your diet to live longer!”

And of course the population ends up being dismissive of “Science(tm)” when the articles on their Facebook feed alternate between “Scientists say X is good” and “Scientists say X will kill you” from week to week or month to month.
Some science gets done to gather metrics. Those metrics get oversimplified into broad public advice. Following this advice to the letter circumvents both the public messaging intent and the related science. "Do what we meant not what we said." I would put most of the blame on the science communicators / policy advisers. But it also doesn't help that there is a large mismatch between how definitive nutritional science is vs how hungry for science-based nutritional advice the public seems to be.
I only made one point: it is silly to pretend that macro nutrients are somehow more important than the micronutrients, when, in fact, you can do without one of the macronutrients entirely and without any ill effect whatsoever but there are many micronutrients that you will die or suffer life-threatening disease without an adequate supply of.

You may not like that fact, but it is a fact and your straw man about vegans eating carrots that you hallucinated into my post doesn’t change that.
