Success for Elastic is defined by the classic impossible measure of becoming a monopoloy so you can raise prices every year and cite growth indefinitely.

Quote from linked page:

> The existence of non-standard models of arithmetic can be demonstrated by an application of the compactness theorem. To do this, a set of axioms P* is defined in a language including the language of Peano arithmetic together with a new constant symbol x. The axioms consist of the axioms of Peano arithmetic P together with another infinite set of axioms: for each numeral n, the axiom x > n is included. Any finite subset of these axioms is satisfied by a model that is the standard model of arithmetic plus the constant x interpreted as some number larger than any numeral mentioned in the finite subset of P. Thus by the compactness theorem there is a model satisfying all the axioms P. Since any model of P* is a model of P (since a model of a set of axioms is obviously also a model of any subset of that set of axioms), we have that our extended model is also a model of the Peano axioms. The element of this model corresponding to x cannot be a standard number, because as indicated it is larger than any standard number.

So basically take Peano arithmetic and say "Hey Peano Arithmetic, what's the largest number you have? Oh n you say? well exists x > n. Haha". Seems like childish game.
Your second description involves many aspects of human culture. No matter how smart cows are, they'll never think this way.

Then, a big difference of humans compared to other animals is accumulation. We create stuff (buildings, language, knowledge, ...) that further generations will use. To really compare, I'd say, we have to take that away.

Let's assume some people decide to go back into the forest. They go there with nothing and teach their children only the necessary skills to live in the forest. After some generations, a scientist discovers them.

How would we compare them to humans and other animals like the great apes? How would they score on common IQ tests?

Talk about taking a quote out of context. The full sentence was:

> That's not how it would work, and folks are extrapolating the current situation, with very limited energy storage, to a future where storage will be essential.

Again, right now in Australia, grid-scale storage is extremely limited (which is excellently highlighted in your link in one of the tables under "loads", at only .9%). Power prices go negative because on the grid generation always needs to be matched with demand, and there basically isn't a place to "put" excess generation. I'm addition, while I'm not familiar with the specifics in Australia, many places have government subsidies that can make renewable generation profitable even when prices go negative.

Here are 2 articles, on Texas and Germany, explaining how and why prices go negative, and it's basically always due to a lack of storage and government subsidies:

I’d be concerned, in the presence of widespread sanity checking of these sorts, of the sanity checking code being bad and managing to make things worse. It’s well-known that error-checking code is about the buggiest code out there, largely because it’s not well-stressed.

There’s also the problem that it’s not always clear where such sanity checking may be useful, or what should be done if the sanity check fails. A human can recognise something is awry and apply reason to it, seeking confirmation or correction or ignoring the value and tweaking the rest to compensate, or whatever seems reasonable; but software can’t do that unless it’s been explicitly coded in, and, simplifying far beyond the point of strict accuracy, doesn’t make mistakes in calculations so that half of your human error-detection heuristics would be a waste of time and you should just fix the obvious bug. (This is, as I say, a gross oversimplification.)
I'm willing to be convinced, but I'm talking about USB PD or similar at the socket (20V 5A). Would that be so dangerous?
We should come up with a name for this new generation of licenses. They are not "open source" or "free software", and using those words would be both confusing and immediately polarizing. But having nothing more specific than "source available" seems very insufficient, since most of them turn open source quickly or only deny rights that do not usually matter to the end-user.

(licenses in that family: BUSL, FSL, Common Clause)

Anyone has suggestions?

Oh I forgot, in the case of a bathroom, never close the door as long as that's acceptable, especially not after taking a shower.

This is nice. I actually wanted to emulate the hardware of a car's ECU to run it's firmware and reverse engineer it better. The arch was simple, it had no multiple cores, it had no MMU, it was all running in real mode basically.

Unfortunately it required in my opinion heavy modifications to emulate the timers, internal modules of the main chip, memory(SRAM and NAND), CAN controllers and so forth. Maybe not everything, but most of the chip features were used and required.
Then I had to emulate or at least a static version of all the engine peripherals such as sensors and injectors and so forth.
I had no idea if my emulator(QEMU) had to be cycle accurate or not.

So I gave up.
It wasn't the norm until Go focused on it though, and "sub milliseconds" is not a high bar. Malloc is much much faster than that.
So what you’re saying is plant a device that can’t be traced to you then leave the area and set it to fire on some timer.

This kind of thing falls under spam. IRC networks are not your infrastructure to use for any project.

At the very least, I can tell you that Libera would define this as abuse and actively remove it. Our servers are for users to chat, not for software to communicate.

And to clarify on spam, this takes resources from the target of a given network. If that networks target is to be a platform for software communication, sure. But in general, IRC networks are there to relay chat, hence the Internet Relay Chat name. This kind of thing takes processing power away from users, and increases memory load on the server. Not to mention bloating it's services database.
>why do you say that?

Because the information needed to lookup a name is equivalent to the information needed to register the name.

>Registered names aren't visible, only their hashes.

But domains are public information. Imagine if in normal DNS anyone could register google.com at any time. Claiming that its not insecure because people don't know google.com exists doesn't make sense.

>names can be registered atomically across IRC servers without revealing what they are directly.

But if someone learns the name they can register it themself. Two people can both claim to be google.com. If a new IRC server is added anyone can create a channel for an existing domain. If your answer to the problem of the same domain being registered by multiple people is that a domain should be both a name and an encrypted nonce you run into the problem where it might be more convienent to just pass over the public key.

>But your usage of the term here is confusing

That is my fault, I assumed this was a permissionless system where any IRC server was permitted to be used instead of a permissioned one.

>Currently there are no such blockchains that have zero transaction fees to use them.

Some cost near $0. A fork of one could be made to do so.

> she’s a coward and seeking closure by unburdening herself without doing the hard thing and being fully transparent about what happened.

I don’t see how one can draw that conclusion from reading one text she wrote. She can easily have written other articles about the case.

This article isn’t about the fraud or about its correction, but about her soul-searching years later.

I also think the article indicates she has worked on being transparent. She reported the case to the university integrity officer and hired a scientist to check the data.

She also writes “I had barely escaped the shame of having to retract a published article”, which I interpret (that “escaped” makes it a bit ambiguous to me; if that “barely” hadn’t been there I would interpret it as there not being a retraction) as that an article got retracted.

Thank you for being a voice of sanity. The idea that once renewables are fully built out, and grid-scale storage is available and subsidies are no longer needed, that prices will be free or negative makes absolutely no sense.

I’m not convinced that Open Source is a marketing terms that matters much for many industries (SaaS, hardware, probably others). If anything the continued push back against people trying to stay aligned with the Open Source community and have commercial enterprises tells me that in many ways you’re probably better off not trying in the first place. I personally don’t think that’s the right message.

It is hard to be open licensed but find other players in the space who just want to commercialize other’s contributions without giving back. And I have not seen any practical proposals for how to deal with this without changing license terms away from the OSI definition.

> The ozone hole was huge, then it turns out it’s patched.

You make it sound like the ozon layer problem was not a big deal, and went away on its own.

It was actually fixed with the Montreal protocol[1]. So this is an example of a problem that urgently needed international cooperation to solve, and was indeed solved that way.

(The ozon layer is still slowly recovering btw. The hole is still there. But the problem peaked in the year 2000.)

Then again, if you believe that it's not 'too many people' and you also concede that population will continue growing as it has for the last 650+ years and the planet obviously isn't growing then surely you must also concede that at some point it has to become 'too many people', the only question is when.

>I don't understand why you believe low-level "intrusive" programming and general software engineering are mutually exclusive.

Hmm, while I don't fully agree with his comment,

then your comment reminded me how I hate to discuss programming languages and programming ecosystems with C people.

It feels like C/low lvl people often refer to some "standard" that they treat as a bible of programming languages even when nobody mentions C and they treat GCC/CLANG as a perfect reference for compilers.

So, while high level devs dont understand low lvl stuff, then I believe low lvl programmers aren't creative at very abstract level, very abstract system modeling cuz they're too used to modeling everything with integers in C.

And they're too used to being hurt by C ecosystem that they believe it is "normal".

High level people (web developers) spend a lot of time arguing about their buzzwords like microservices, ddd, oop vs fp, etc.

1. Sounds like you have written very few shell scripts if you don't know the issues and think you can just "don't make mistakes" (a classic fallacy).

Software has zero marginal cost, that software engineers can imagine.

My workstation runs all the time and I don't care that it consumes this 100$ of electricity a month. Who cares about amortisation of new hardware? New, shiny is new, shiny. There are some large, expensive server machines running my software? I don't see the bill, so the costs don't apply to me.
There are dozens of engineering hours required to even partially understand how the final product should look like. But an already well fed software engineer doesn't think that every minute of his life is precious and it costs way beyond the price of his dinner cheeseburger.

Such is the fallacy of "Software engineering is free"
Maybe we should be asking "do humans feel emotions in a bovine way". And the answer would be an unsurprising no, so why should one spend any time stating and disproving the converse. Animals do not have to feel in a human way for their feelings to be valid. That does not make killing them and torturing them any less barbaric. And we can be humane in our treatment of animals regardless of what importance we give to their feelings. Cat and dog owners will tell you their pets have feelings. Numerous studies on pigs show they are more clever than dogs. Do they somehow have to develop humanlike emotions to count?
That just makes it worse.

On the other hand, the tools to do this have been easily accessible for years. Sure, you had to buy Photoshop and spend 15 minutes on YouTube, but this is not a major hurdle.

I guess the first step in writing large scale software is to become Swedish!
It is true that the plants have power purchase agreements, but:

The owner can still buy back the power in the spot market and turn off his plant. He can then deliver the power he bought on the spot market to the PPA. If prices are negative, this means the owner gets paid for turning off the plant buying back the power.
So the plant still gets curtailed.

All this is assuming no subsidies and that the PPAs don’t contain any weird origination provisions.
The tragedy is that building such software should be actually very easy and incentivized, since it brings so much benefit to society. But it's not incentivized, often not easily economically viable because of the way the economic system works.
Doesn't the existence of this nice, encapsulated, hierarchical code make AI coding useless, rather than easy? You can just use those existing abstractions.

The reason AI coding systems exist is because it's hard, with our current programming language and libraries, to do things even if they've been done thousands of time before. If you can build new languages or new libraries/corpus where that's not a problem, you no longer need AI.

I’d think a PV panel runs cooler under load since it diverts ~25% of the light energy hitting it down the wire as electricity instead of just heating up the panel. Otherwise where else is the light energy going with no load?

If that theory is correct, paying someone to take your electricity is worthwhile.

Of course, it could operate its own shunt load on-site but not worth it if it runs a few hours a year.

And I’ve no idea if a panel has a longer or shorter lifespan if it just runs hotter but unloaded. But definitely going to take a hit to production if prices go positive in 5 minutes but your panel is baking.
