Not completely.

Batteries are only going to offer on the order of hours or maybe days of energy storage to manage short term hiccups in wind and sun.

You will always need a backup that can spin up quickly in in the long tail events where you have weeks of not enough sun or wind.

And realistically, you have to exercise those backups regularly to keep all the infrastructure and systems in working order so you aren't surprised in an emergency that the system is broken from months or years of disuse.
The gas burners are wildly inefficient at transferring heat to the pot/pan. E.g. Wirecutter says gas is only 32% efficient, so the nominal 18 BTUs is only 5.8 BTUs in the pan. Whereas electric is at least 75% efficient (higher for induction) so a nominally 12 BTU electric stove provides at least 9 BTUs in the pan. In this case the electric stove is still effectively more than 50% more powerful.
This is a joint effort between folks in the Rust Project and Rust Foundation, to enable signing of Rust releases for rustup to verify, and signing of crates.io indexes for Cargo to verify. This will make it possible for us to have mirrors of both, which helps us in many different ways:

- People behind restrictive firewalls (including country-wide firewalls) will be able to have verified mirrors that are fast and reliable.

- CI systems and other build infrastructure can have mirrors that are fast and local, and save huge amounts of bandwidth for Rust infrastructure.
> whether it's more expensive than peaker gas plants.

While running only a small percentage of the time. Some only operate a few hundred hours a year, let's say 300 hours (around 3.4% of the time). These low operating hours are much more likely to happen as short term storage and renwables get expanded. French nuclear reactors run around 60% of the time and have very little variable costs. Thus new nuclear reactors would have to be only 5% of the cost of gas peakers when run most of the time, as would be economically reasonable, to beat gas peakers.

I had this happen with a Samsung phone once that had the Knox registered to Rent-A-Center. I called up RAC and they said they had no record of the phone.
Agree induction is pretty great, although it limits cookware and still doesn't work for all techniques (blowtorch doesn't replace everything). And you are right that the 110V are underpowered.

The ones I've used are less granular than gas (which is essentially continuous) and latency is similar. From what I've seen europe is still way ahead on induction offerings, but it seems to be getting better.

I'd probably lean towards induction these days because the particulates from gas are obviously a problem and not easily dealt with - but I won't pretend induction is a 100% drop in replacement/improvement.
Man, I read the headline three times and each time I read Cisco is acquiring insolvent. Bad idea naming a company so close to an English word both in length, number of similar characters, and most importantly first and last chars.
Something is off there, I grew up cooking on gas, and previous place I had a nice Bosch 6 burner. The electric one we have is better and I prefer it. It is fast and never had issues like that.
That'll be gas peakers until there is so much solar, wind, pumped hydro, and transmission that it doesn't matter. The US currently has more renewables in grid queues (~2TW) than total national generation capacity [1]. Nuclear takes years to build, renewables and batteries takes months. We're deploying 1GW of solar per day globally. Per day. China built more wind this year than the UK's entire generation capacity, and more solar than the entire US solar generation capacity. Battery manufacturing and deployment will come up to speed as the entire auto industry is forced to move to EV production. Tesla's utility scale storage is sold out for another 2 years or so at the moment, the demand for this tech is voracious, which is good; it sends market signals to build more factories faster.

Lots of legacy fossil generation is going to end up stranded [2], from a capital markets perspective. No one is going to touch nuclear with their own capital, the LCOE speaks for itself [3]. Keep existing nuclear running as long as safe, but it'll sunset too eventually. Don't get mad at the math, it's just math.

Any theories as to why proper e-signatures using Secure Enclave / TPM haven't taken off?

I get that e-signatures were a compromise around 1990s but it's a bit absurd we are doing this today.

A handwritten signature has some decent built-in security. A copy-pasted picture of a signature is a bit silly.
Who says there is no wind at night?
From a legal perspective, they don't have to. From a legal perspective, the world's largest corporation can aggressively lock out non-iPhone users to try to further increase revenue.

But from an ethical perspective, it sucks. I own Apple devices and Android devices and I have friends on both. Why should my life be more painful just so Apple can squeeze out a tiny bit more money?
The headline is right. "Wikimedia Russia" dissolved not "Russian Wikipedia"
I've tried that, but no luck so far. Maybe in a few more years.

Instead of playing Minecraft, we break out construction paper, glue, and scissors. Cacti creepers move around and boom--tickle, tickle.

Instead of watching TV, we imagine stories or practice writing (or try to).

The auto-braking collision avoidance system on my 2023 Mazda CX-5 actually is exactly what caused my first collision in 20 years. I was slowing down to avoid a car that was turning off, the auto-braking decided I wasn't slowing enough (or, I might have just let go of the brake) and it proceeded to slam on the brakes bringing me to a full stop on a busy road, leading to me being rear-ended. At no time was any of that necessary. I've also had the auto-braking engage (on multiple cars) because of random debris in the road, or seemingly no reason at all.

Granted, I'm sure this will improve over time. But for the past 5ish years, all my experiences with auto-braking have been dangerously negative.
This is admittedly more a social opinion, but except for one social enterprise job, Unity, and Microsoft, every job posting I can remember and every recruiter who has sent me a C# job has been from a crappy tech body shop, a tech consulting shop, or somewhere where technical decision making clearly starts and ends with whatever the salesperson from Microsoft has to sell.

So a major reason I don't consider it for anything is that few places where I might like to work seem to use it while the low paying and non-technical corporate places seem to love it. Anecdotally in my network, people say the language is fine, but, and there is nearly always a "but", they mention Microsoft and being tied to Azure.
Would you prefer the company that owns the device burn something like this into UEFI to handle MDM instead?

I love SirusXM. They are a truly unique offer in the modern music landscape of algorithm-driven music listening experiences. The human curation of shows and stations is why I listen. That said, they have a lot of problems: I have to complain yearly to keep my $8/mo rate, and they seem to be slowly moving toward wanting more algorithmic content with their Pandora merger.

I wish they'd focus more on growing their technology (e.g. a macOS app). They just did a big rewrite on all the platforms, seemingly toward this goal; I hope they keep going down that path.

If the government forces them to adopt more modern subscription practices, I think _more_ people would use their platform, not less.
My "theory" is a straightforward recollection of the way things did in fact happen, on this planet and in this universe. Europeans started the industrial ball rolling with for profit companies. Sorry if you don't like it.
I agree. Public schools were invented to socialize children into mainstream Protestant values, and by and large that’s still their purpose today. Insofar as what I wrote is ambiguous, my point is that education and journalism are dominated (at the national level), by a cohort that is defined by a particular set of values they share, not by the fact that they want to use schools to teach their values. Certainly, I’m no supporter of educational neutrality myself.
I let other people chime in, but to provide an answer myself:

I felt that it was worth noting because, depending on the viewpoint of the reader, that information could be seen as a positive or a negative, and could have an impact on their viewpoint.

1. The existence of the company suggests that there might be a meaningful or profitable future from what has already been learned.. commercialization of this information might be more readily possible.

2. Someone who's cynical might question the validity of the research and/or the motives of people involved.

I certainly have my own opinion, but I also have not deeply researched this subject, or the researchers involved. I was curious to get some high level information on this topic so I read the article. I felt it was hard to skim through so, after reading it, I wanted to provide the high level summary as I understood it for others here.

The youngest commercial reactor in France is more than 20 years old.
Thanks! I have a bunch more widgets coming soon, and you gave me some ideas for more :) I briefly looked into adding a twitter widget but their API costs are too expensive for me at this point.

Yes, it's been on my mind, just need to figure out a secure way to implement it
And waste management plus storage. Research the clusterfuck in Germany, where they put metal containers in a salt mine and then were all surprised when they started to rust away. Really shows how carefully and responsible they treat this. Sure makes me want to have another dozen reactors. So, then you need to move it all to some new location. What's a kwh of nuclear if you take into account the cost of storing that safely for hundreds of years?

Nuclear is the perfect example of privatizing profits and nationalizing losses.
Nobody predicted the fed would raise rates as quickly as they did.

>But there is a downside to Vimming. It's a weird fringe interest, even amongst software developers who are already a weird fringe group

Is that even true though? The VsCode Vim extension has over 6 million users, pretty much every editor ships with a vim mode and if I had to guess most developers are at least cursory familiar with vi editing motions. The latest Stackoverlfow survey put vim at a respectable fith place[1] with 22% of devs using it.

I've never felt vim is some sort of fringe stumbling block, and that's coming from someone using Emacs day to day. (where a good chunk of people use evil mode)

There are many people who are not comically wealthy San Franciscans, who have worked their whole lives to live in middle-class communities across America that are being ruined by a sudden focus on density instead of building outward, driven by landowners who "don't give a shit about the people of <insert community name here>" (actual quote from personal experience), enabled by laws and policies that have noble goals but were written in an unthoughtful, easily-exploited way and put in place by partisan bodies.

I'm not trying to downplay the complexity of the situation - I'm just saying that you alienate more people than you think with this common format of sarcastic hatred based on the extreme example of the bay area.
This was actually a bright-spot in Intel's lineup that had a chance to be a moonshot. I don't know why Intel is giving up this early especially when AMD acquired Xilinx recently. Is intel trying to emulate Nvidia? I don't think they should try to become another Nvidia. They should be building programmable AI chips with FPGA. Heck, LLMs are able to code Verilog. There are many many possibilities.
I think people are often missing point. Yes, in a rear end collision the fault is almost always the following driver. Having a framework for assigning liability is not the same as having a safety framework. Consider an AV that is consistently brake-checking those behind them due to nuisance alarms. Now I have a harder time predicting what the car in front of me is going to do. Is that a safer or less-safe scenario? Sure, I can mitigate it by giving more trailing distance, but now we've traded traffic flow/congestion for an equal level of safety.

AEB and friends also demonstrably reduced costs to insurance companies, who pushed some savings onto consumers to shape demand. My $28k brand new car has better insurance rates than my 2004 car because of all the additional safety and automation prevents enough incidents that would otherwise total the car.
Because a shocking number of services don't actually require you to verify you control the email address. I'm talking about mainstream services like Spotify.

I'm in a similar situation, except in my case, the person providing the wrong email address never controlled it - it's firstnamelastname@gmail.com, which I signed up for when gmail was still invite only.

If I go to sign up for a service that someone else has signed up for with my email, I just do a password reset, and take control of the account. Either by transferring it to another email address that doesn't exist and then creating a new account, or if that doesn't work I just nuke the data.
Most of the gas stove's heat is lost and doesn't make it into the food though. Hard to know how much, but I read maybe only 30-40% of a gas stove's BTU output actually makes it into the food... so I would actually think a 12k BTU induction stove could put more heat into the food you're cooking than an 18k BTU gas burner. If this is the summer time, the gas burner is extra sucky and heating up your home. You also need to blast your exhaust fan when using a gas burner and may therefore need to condition more air than with an induction.
Telescope is great. I’ve been trying to move to full neovim (astrovim to start with) for while since I’ve been using vscode-nvim, but the part I’ve had the hardest time with is tab/buffer/window management. I never really know what’s going to happen when closing tabs or panes. Sometimes it’ll close but leave a weird empty tab in place, and I never know what closing something is going to do to the layout of panes. Also, all the actual little tabs at the top stay left aligned rather than attaching to the pane that they’re a part of and it’s always confusing. Maybe I’m doing it wrong, but it’s far better in vscode for now.
case study in the power of word choice, this “headline” reads “Apple allows SOME iOS apps to track"... but the actual article to which this page links does not include the word "some", making (imo) Yingyu's article seem to indicate a much more nefarious situation.

That’s the theme of this article. Nvidia invested heavily in GPUs even though the complete business model wasn’t always clear.

> I've been trying to make "white regions in dark backgrounds" less painful for months, but doing that at the system level on macOS is incredibly hard. I see you're doing it with CSS filters, which make sense in the limited scope of an article. But applying something like that on the whole macOS UI would cause confusion

Can I suggest you "my one simple trick" when I was doing the same on Windows?

Increase contrast, a lot, in the original RGB space, then only keep the R channel, then invert the picture.

It's like doing a "black and white" mode, but as "black and red" and avoids losing "faint colors".

Also, you remove the color consistency problem (IIRC the perception of colors is not symmetrical on light and dark backgrounds, I think it was pioneered by Ethan Schoonover for Solarized)

BTW the inversion should be optional, to be nice to apps using a dark theme (ex: many terminals by default) and may work best on a window-by-window basis if that's possible on the Mac.

The best results are when using a system light theme + light themed apps.
This is sad news; I was hoping one day we'd see chips with substantial on-die FPGA fabrics, ideally in ways that we could program with open tools. This announcement makes that less likely.

> only to snap them back at the first sign of challenges.

It's really quite impressive how bad Intel's track record has been. Would you say it's a broad cultural problem within Intel? Bad incentives?

(I'b be interested if someone could come up with a list of all of Intel's failed ventures. StrongARM, Optane, Altera... Obviously some of these are par for the course for such a large company as Intel, but Intel still seems to stand out)

(I know one reason Apple is so secretive about its ventures is because it knows many of them won't pan out, and it knows that due to its size anything it does has huge repercussions, and wants to avoid that)

It is real weird to see the Fed suggesting rate cuts with no recession or core financial stress being immediately apparent. Normally the Fed doesn't really cut rates as some kind of christmas present to the economy.

I have my doubts they'll actually do that and I suspect that Powell was just "jawboning" because they're trying to engineer a soft landing through talk.

The fact that they're even talking about cutting rates now means that the cheap money era is not over and the they're feeling political pressure to cut rates. If we do hit a recession you can bet that they'll slash rates to zero again. They have never once stated any kind of commitment to higher rates and I don't understand how people on the internet read any level of hope into the idea that their viewpoint has changed in any fundamental way.
There's also an impact on inserts; it's not just deletes.

Essentially a foreign key constraint is an on {insert,update,delete} trigger which checks whether the target check exists, so that's a select on the target table. I'm not sure if that's still the case, but I believe that for a long time foreign keys were just implemented as triggers in PostgreSQL.

For a lot of things that has a minimal performance impact and it's not a big deal. For some other things it can really add up.
We are not building remotely enough batteries to replace peakers. To put this in perspective, the US averages 500 GW electricity consumption. So 12 TWh per day. Even just 12 hours of storage to satisfy diurnal fluctuations would be 6,000 GWh. In reality, there's also seasonal fluctuations that can reduce output for weeks at a time. Not only that, electricity is only ~40% of fossil fuel use. When transportation and industries are electrified, that 6,000 GWh is going to turn into 14,000 GWh.

By comparison the entire world produces only 400GWh of batteries per year. Most of that is going to electric vehicles. Only 1% of vehicles on the road are electric. Making even a slight dent in grid storage demand is going to seriously delay EV adoption.
> I wonder if we can get better open source tool support from the new entity. That would be a win.

Tragically, I wouldn't bet on it. In fact, I'd be shocked if that were to happen.
The glasstops come with their own issues if you are doing a lot of cooking with heavy cast iron pans. I have some recipes that you really have to go to work on the pots and bang them around.

A gas range is really just the ideal setup for the most varieties of cooking, and there's a reason they are almost a requirement for most professional kitchens.
I usually wrap everything (including reads) in a transaction at middleware level. Not perfect, has its downsides but for many projects it's perfectly ok.

Of course it's not a real substitute for foreign keys, but definitely better than nothing.
If a country with 220/240v electric kettles, I can believe it... but in the US the electric kettle is probably 110/120V at 12-15 amps, then I would think an induction stove kettle could be faster, no?
I don't think there are IDEs which are as scriptable as (neo)vim or emacs. Am I wrong?
> potentially a game changer for our city

My bet is you'll be amazed by how little changes. Sure you won't spend any time at gas stations/car dealerships and you'll be able to watch YouTube on your commute, but that's how millions of New Yorkers live and, well, it's fine. That is to say, we could have just built subways/mass transit and gotten all of the benefits.

There is a major downside though, and it's that we'll be doubling down on cars. That means all the mining we have to do for all the components, all the road/vehicle maintenance we have to do, all the waste we have to manage, all the pollution from tires, all the space taken up by roads, garages, parking spaces, all the batteries we have to build/maintain/recycle, all the sprawl and isolation we suffer will increase.
