Total production went down 12% and fossil fuel production went down 22%. So even in that sense fossil fuels are replaced with renewables.

The energy intensive industries that are affected mostly use natural gas. Energy prices for both gas and electricity have reduced significantly this year.
Yes, as they’re literally life-and-death in many cases. Getting a pilot license requires one to demonstrate the ability to do certain “not common but not exactly uncommon either” recovery things from memory. And different bits of those “1000 things” play a role in different scenarios. If you’re lucky and at high enough altitude to have time to look up a checklist in the POH it’s great. When you have seconds because you just took off or something screws up on final you don’t have time to go through the POH or futz around with the checklists in your avionics (if they’re even there).

The pilots that don’t remember these things when they’re needed are dead.
I didn't even bother trying, but yeah Windows Home edition is severely locked down, they might as well call it the Childlock version of Windows.
Would this be the same 8 hours for everyone worldwide, would it be by the user's timezone, or would we get to choose our own 8 hours?

This question was brought to you by memories of not being able to set the timezone of my tamagotchi and it subsequently dying because it was awake when I was asleep.
Good luck finding macOS games in the first place. I've had to pass on quite the few games because they were only made for Windows...
I can't find the 92-page document, or a transcript of the court hearing. If he was unable to persuade a judge he wasn't wasn't aggressive and relentless, then I'd bet he was.
Exactly. As someone who plays games but doesn't smoke or drink (which are also leisure activities), those are way more socially accepted and probably closer to "poison".
But it's okay because as you said, everything in moderation.

> I am really relaxed about the US primacy in tech

"Resting on your laurels" always ends badly.

> It has all the systemic advantages

Then let's take full advantage of them. We must remain extremely hungry for science/tech progress/breakthroughs or we will eventually get run over.
You will need really trained people to review whatever the AI writes and also need to be able to check sources in case the AI hallucinates and starts referencing made up case law or precedents. So maybe paralegals will transform into reviewers or something similar.
Quit social media, you'll feel better.
W, K, and Y were added back to the Portuguese alphabet in 2009, after going away in 1943, exactly because there are words using them.

Also k is widely used in SMS language.
A few notes to keep in mind with that data:

* That's a change from 96.56% on Windows to 96.40%. That's a small enough shift to be attributable to noise.

* In the December 2022 survey [0] (one year earlier), Windows had 96.15% share. So to the extent these tiny shifts mean anything at all, the trend for Windows market share was actually up slightly year-on-year.

In the stats from Wikipedia traffic[0], Linux's share is more stable - ~2.1% for 2023, ~2.1% for 2020-2022, ~1.6% for 2016-2019 (I put the dates in the pie chart filter, and looked at the "Linux" and "Ubuntu" labels). By the way, there are some strange peaks in that data - Linux going up to 7% in single weeks, Ubuntu going from 0.2-1.0% baseline to 1-3% for a couple of months in 2022...

Interesting article on this topic:

https://corpgov.law.harvard.edu/2019/02/11/towards-accountab...
See here[0] one of Gernot Heiser's comments (part of the seL4 foundation) talking about how "there are seL4-based devices in regular use in several defence forces. And it's being built in to various products, including civilian, eg critical infrastructure protection".

There is also an interesting case study[1][2] where seL4 was shown to prevent malicious access to a drone. Using seL4 doesn't necessarily make an entire system safe but for high security applications you have to build from the ground up and having a formally proven kernel is the first step in doing that.

I have been fortunate enough to play a small role in developing some stuff to be used with seL4 and it's obvious that the team are passionate about what they've got and I wish them the best of luck

They've also not talked to any kids and tried to ascertain which proportion of the kids involved 1) see it as a problem, and/or 2) exhibit behavior that suggests it might be a problem. It's pure speculation until they've actually asked follow-up questions. An article about the results of Dr Rich, quoted towards the end, sounds like it'd have had far more meat on it, but given it's The Guardian they'd lose the hook of it being about "almost half of British teens".
You're being a bombastic doofus online, a regular mishap that can happen to anyone. It's still just a mishap, not some heroic battle of truthsayers vs censorship.
Also, its very difficult to make money on just one book. Most indie authors start seeing better sales after 5-10 books, having built up a loyal reader base.
As a long time amateur photographer, I agree. I had the DSLR, mirrorless, $10s of thousands in lenses, etc... But the reality is I can find a fantastic image of damn near any landscape in seconds.

So, instead I get candid photos of my kids and wife in the places we visit. I have yet to feel the need to lookup a photo of a landscape.
"Generative AI and large language models (LLMs), deep learning techniques, including LSTMs, GRUs, RNNs, neural networks, unsupervised learning, Seq2Seq model, the SciPy ecosystem, Jupyter Notebooks, Keras, TensorFlow".

No, every programmer does not need to know these things. Not even close. Looking over the table of contents it is maybe 20% relevant topics and 80% soup of current hot buzzwords strung together to sound appealing and sell the latest edition of the book. And of course you can hit a button to get a monthly subscription and read all of it!

If you want some actually helpful algorithms-focused material look up the website and YouTube channel of any good university. They all have great foundational courses covering data structures and algorithms available for free online that will be much more concise and useful.
Probably. But you have to wonder if anything can be stolen and replicated, why haven’t China managed to duplicate ASML’s lithographic machines?
Totally! You caught me assuming MA given the baseline enrollment is slightly higher, and that number is also slightly greater in CA, but valid thing to note.
I have fond memories of the "Picaxe" book ... I have no idea if it is still the best way of learning ruby (I used the 2nd edition, for ruby 1.8 I think...).

Two other books that I like from them are "Language Implementation Patterns" and "Distributed Services with Go".

IMO the best approach is to use PCI passthrough to give the Nvidia GPU to a Windows guest, especially if what you're trying to do is game.

Arch wiki has a great write-up on it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF

TL;DR you boot your Linux host kernel with special VFIO params to ensure the entire IOMMU domain of your Nvidia GPU is ignored, and pass that to Windows guest (which sees it as an entirely normal nv GPU).

(My hope is that in the next couple of years the open source Nvidia driver landscape dramatically improves, and modern distros ship with rock solid Vulkan/OGL impl for all Nvidia cards made in the last decade or three)
Not yet but the US has a big head start. The gap is closing every day.
Isn't that approximately a wire?
> Instead of simply abstaining from using my phone, I put time into activities

My relationship with social media, even HackerNews, really clicked when a meme (oh irony) said: ”You’re like a tiger in a cage. You know how they pace in circles when their enclosures lack enrichment? That’s you bouncing around apps on your phone”

Haven’t quite figured out how to reliably stop that, but it’s true that when there’s enough enrichment, I can go days forgetting that my phone and the internet even exist.
Yes, nuclear reactors need maintenance, but extensions to 80 years are being approved, so 80+ years doesn't seem unrealistic for existing reactors.
In 2023 nothing because the plants are back online, but last year a lot. Although Germany does traditionally export electricity to France in the winter because France doesn't have enough to cover electrical heating. Not sure what happened this winter.
I know plenty of authors and none of them are subsidized by wealthy families. All of them do it part time in the evenings out of a labor of love.

It is worth pointing out that there's nothing particular odd if it were the case that writing was subsidized by wealthy families. For the vast majority of the history of writing, writing was subsidized an left to monks, philosophers or aristocrats. It's only been in the relatively recent time period that writing was a potential occupation for anyone interested with enough skills/talent.
> Planes using Farnborough airport carry an average of only 2.5 passengers per plane and 40% of aircraft fly empty.

A contraction plan for the airport would be much more appropriate.

Failing that, some drones hovering nearby would make a good protest.
I'd argue it helps them more with engineering and manufacturing/building problems than science ones.

The latter, under any government type, don't have a great track record of massive government investment accelerating progress.

Proof of concept level grants, sure! But it doesn't seem to scale past that. IMHO, a free market is a better GTM-stage+ capital allocator.
> but they’re willing to spend hours trying to get sleep to work in Linux.

There is no need to set up the sleep for Linux if you choose a supported hardware and not a Windows-certified one. Complaining that Linux doesn't work on the latter is like complaining that MacOS doesn't work on it.
> I'm not familiar with the situation on MacOS but how bad is the compatibility issue? Similarly, on Windows what's the situation with WSL or VMs or even Cygwin? Is performance the issue?

If I remember correctly, Mac has any GNU utility from before they all switched to GPL v3. Which was decades ago now.
I'm all for getting rid of JavaScript, but I don't really see what sending HTML over the wire instead of JSON gets us?
Evidence of a Universal, Non-Verbal Communication System
HK is a bit different. It was a land lease and the Britons negotiated for a 50 year transition period before HK was fully assimilated.

I fully agree with your conclusion and spirit though which is why I said that Taiwan has no reason for any kind of trust for a peaceful integration with the PRC.
Yeah, that’s what I thought until I had my hair and serum levels of manganese tested. Which were both low. And taking manganese cured not only my chronic fatigue, but my insomnia and anxiety as well.

Also, there’s a study at Stamford going on right now, looking at manganese levels and illness and they’re finding that these ranges are old and arbitrary.

And that tolerable upper limit is a joke since I had to take 30 mg a day.

Just do a little research and find out where they got those limits and ranges from.

But, regardless, it proves my point, that exercise depletes manganese and that could cause disease in people who don’t have sufficient manganese. So just telling everyone to work out and you’ll live longer is a false statement.

Adding

https://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/efsajournal/pub/3419

There are no reliable and validated biomarkers of manganese intake or status and data on manganese intakes versus health outcomes are not available for DRVs for manganese. As there is insufficient evidence available to derive an average requirement or a population reference intake, an Adequate Intake (AI) is proposed.
Telephone Talks Through Time
I desire leaving Windows behind but the job opportunities in my line of work are pretty much reliant on the Microsoft Universe. The changes (no one dare to call those things improvements in front of me, do not dare!) are done to the system makes the usage more and more difficult and unpredictable, destroying essential and reliable features for the sake of never missed decorated obstructions. I hate it and feel disgust every morning when I have to turn it on, disgusted of all the many of the workarounds that I have to carry out daily to get the work done, reluctant and afraid of any and every updates, 'damn, here we go again, what will break now?!' or 'how can I serve its Royal Majestry the Windows System more to keep it operational and its brand new needs satisfied, how much should I adopt to their royal quirks?!'.
Difficult to change line of work after so many years but I am pushed in this direction pretty strongly.

(The OSX mentality was a friendly one to me when we first met and luckily its changes are slower in diminishing usability - they try though, they try persistently! - so my private computer is not a Windows one for about 20 years already. Probably it was Linux now otherwise, quite possibly.)
That's why we have the phrase: the letter and the spirit of the law. Because sometimes the letter of the law is, in certain circumstances, in contradiction with the spirit of the law.
Best feature of Pro is Windows Sandbox, which I use to test/trial app installs in a VM. It's basically a disposable OS that spins up as fast as most apps. Sandbox runs on Hyper-V, which along with domain networking (for business) are the two main differentiators as far as I understand.
Selective enforcement is difficult to discern, even with large population statistics, and more so in individual cases. It requires comparing similar situations and then constructing an argument that will probably be unsatisfactory.

However, it is readily apparent that large donors to universities exerting pressure through their financial contributions is problematic. This not only undermines the integrity of the institution but also complicates the effective management of the university.
This version is really good
Finally, the year of Linux on the desktop.

(Meanwhile, my laptop running Ubuntu still won't sleep properly. It just spontaneously wakes up and drains its whole battery).
The major publishers seem to have gutted their editing staff over the last decade or so, and submitted manuscripts changed little before publishing. The primary editor you get barely has time to read it, and an outsourced copy editor (who are probably the better ones, yes).
It might be the motivation for companies like Apple to use it instead of the GNU utils, but they're still using the old GNU utils (if they still even bother putting it on Apple Silicon versions of macOS).
Maybe get another degree in biology and nutritional genomics before saying anything else about human health then.
And there is also night. And clouds. Texas is good for solar but December and January still have relatively high variance - for example, in December 13 solar produced only 19.3 GWh while it produced 103 GWh two weeks later on December 27.
It is like running away from the lion, they only need to be better than GCP and cheaper than AWS.

Stuff like Vercel, Cloudflare or Netfly isn't the main market they are after, at least if they keep focusing on being clouds for frontend devs.
To be clear you're talking about async fn and impl trait in return position in traits? If so, how does that impact the likelihood one way or the other of race conditions or deadlocks?
It’s more than that. In Iceland you’re allowed to just stop working and the government will give you a basic income (along with a recreation stipend!) indefinitely. This gives people so much time for pursuits they’re passionate about.
China has more than enough people, the challenge there is how to make them all consumers with fat wallets and raise their productivity.

They indeed import most of their energy and food stuffs. Like any big exporter, see Germany for instance. Really similar, just different consuming power.

For the housing bubble, it's part of planned development. It isn't as bad as a housing bubble in the US, as the government from China isn't democratic. The Chinese government can easily use its authority to tell the average Chinese to eat it up.

I’m a professional with 5 years of experience, highly committed to
enhancing the agility of the teams I work with and fostering
collaboration between areas to optimize for autonomy,
maintainability, automation, efficiency and quality.
I’m passionate about helping people reach their true potential,
mentoring others and helping create a culture where people can feel
safe being honest and sharing their ideas and solutions.
I’m always curious about state-of-the-art technologies while
maintaining a very pragmatic mindset, optimizing for simple
solutions when possible. Fun fact: I Started out as a Full Stack Dev.
From the German BSI-TR-02102-1 ([0],[1]) guidelines

"Combination of Classical and PQC Security: The secure implementation of PQC mechanisms, especially with regard to side-channel security, avoidance of implementation errors and secure
implementation in hardware, and also their classical cryptanalysis are significantly less well
studied than for RSA- and ECC-based cryptographic mechanisms. In addition, there are currently no standardised versions of these mechanisms. Their use in productive systems is currently only recommended together with a classic ECC- or RSA-based key exchange or key
transport. In this case, one speaks of a so-called hybrid mechanism. Parallel to a PQC key
transport, an ECC-based key exchange using Brainpool or NIST curves with at least 256 bits
key length should be performed. The two shared secrets generated in this way should be combined with the mechanism given in Section B.1.1 of this Technical Guideline. Here, the standard [96] in its current version explicitly provides the possibility to combine several partial
secrets. A hybrid approach, as proposed here, is further described for example in [5] as the
most feasible alternative for a use of PQC mechanisms in the near future.
Provided that the restrictions of the stateful mechanisms XMSS and LMS recommended in
this TechnicalGuideline are carefully considered, these hash-based signatures can in principle
also be used alone (i.e., not hybrid), see Chapter 6"

In Ecuador a new mac is way too expensive for most people. The availability of used ones are low. I imagine this is because people can't afford them new so they don't have any to resell. Computer literacy is such that most people don't know about linux. When I'm down there doing research and have participants using linux no one seems confused by it. I think for most people I meet, it is just a question of having linux already on the computer. Everyone pirates the os so the quetion of paying never comes up. As far as I can tell, this is pretty typical in a number of Latin American countries and probably common in most of the world where macs are luxury items.
> but to the apple ecosystem and mobile/tablet computing as a whole.

For home users I totally see this in my life. I know of several households which end up only having a couple of iPads when several years ago they would have had a desktop or laptop.
There's no way for a startup to actually compete vs Windows. The valuable market for that are corporations running Windows, those are extremely risk-averse, and even if the OS was almost a drop-in replacement to their Windows machines these corporations would expect a level of customer service that no startup could provide.

Microsoft has this huge moat with PC gaming + corporations which are really hard markets to crack into as a startup.

This battle will be fascinating.
For some reason I started using w3m with emacs integration years ago and am very comfortable with it. I know eww exists, but I think I only tried it once or twice.
In my experience, in NY, the majority of people working in contemporary literature publishing are ivy leage graduates, mostly women, and they live off of their parents. I'm not judging, just stating my observation.
There have been attempts to create kernel-agnostic interfaces for drivers such as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Driver_Interface

For my case, I am planning to re-implement them. I like doing this.

I sure am not going to be able to re-implement everything myself though. I will concentrate on what I need, and I will consider implementing others if anyone else other than me is willing to use the OS (which would be incredible if it happened)
In a similar vein, I cannot recommend SvelteKit enough, which features some of the most consequential performance improvements[1] built right into the framework.
