At a planet scale no, but locally these geothermal plants can have an effect. Some Icelandic geysers for example have weakened or even stopped due to geothermal power plants in the area.

The US NPS has cited this as a reason for not installing geothermal generation near the Yellowstone hotspot. They don’t want to potentially impact Old Faithful.

Apple has been behind it since 2016. ( Arguably even before then but that is another topic ) They only started to move away in 2023.
Microsoft did this to me.

If OneDrive didn't hijack your filesystem, I would have dealt with auto-open edge links.

I tasted Fedora and... Oh my God Windows sucks. Like its awful in seemingly every way compared to Fedora Cinnamon. The UI/the speed/the experience is breathtaking.

Fedora Cinnamon is so good, I've become outspokenly anti-Debian/Ubuntu for giving Linux a bad name. I'm amazed that an operating system this solid has been existing under my nose.
Any technology will have a very long way from the initial discovery to widespread application. A swarm of tinkering US startups will beat any Chinese megaproject. You propose that it is developed covertly to such an extend that it becomes a game changer that disrupts the current power balance before the US realises. I strongly disbelieve that such things can happen outside of fiction. For example, Manhattan project was known to the Soviets very early.
XpoSat: India launches space mission to study black holes
China has one big advance over the US. A government willing to throw unlimited funds and specific science or engineering problems.

To get that kind of commitment you the strong backing of senators from a dozen different states. It rarely happens in non military projects, and when it does it's a boondoggle. Look to the SLS project, $12 billion spent to recycle space shuttle engines from the 70s and 80s.
It's a hypothetical I haven't really ruminated on. But I suppose it would be a new cold war scenario with superconductivity supremacy swapped out for nuclear first-strike capability, and similar levels of espionage

There is also a vibration api for web browsers.

Isn’t using the biometric API still controlled by a secure place on the device where all it gives you back is - did you pass the biometric check?

Advertising tracking is still easier on the web.

The rest of the permissions says a lot about Android and even so.

If PWAs were good enough on Android and it was just mean old Apple holding them back they should be pervasive for the 80% of the population that uses Android
Let's do a thought experiment and imagine that we instead titled it in the passive mode: "50 Algorithms Some Programmers May be Interested in Knowing". Are you as likely to read this?
Jokes like that are going to get a lot of resistance. Oh well, time to amp it up.

Best chart I could find. Looks like there's another at 250 K from 2019. But what I don't have here is the Temperature / Pressure / Timeline, though...? What is the Pressure in the article? Is it STP?

> so 4% is probably the best they're ever going to do

Why would you say that? Take a look at the trend plot shown at the link. The trend started increasing markedly about two years ago. I wouldn't think it would suddenly flatline. At least I hope it doesn't.
~99% of the published writers i know have a full-time job to support their book writing.
I don't know much about diabetes, but I do know that:

- Diet and moderate exercise are associated with a reduction in all cause mortality across the board.

- 'Blue Zones' are people who live to be 100 years or older. There's a great Netflix show about it if you want to learn more.
> As Windows continues its enshitification, and as Valve continues investing into its awesome Steam Deck, I do hope the trend continues.

The Steam Deck isn't without its faults: there's a dedicated "Special offers" carousel on the home screen, and there's been a full-width ad for the winter sale on the home screen for the past few weeks.
I wish more people would use Ubuntu on their home PCs. It's so easy to do. With so many things being web based it's never been easier to switch to Linux.
Not for me. I do strength work because it enables me to keep running/hiking in the mountains and that's good for my mental health. Last year I had to have knee surgery due to a running injury, it's plausible that would have been avoided with stronger upper legs. I also have a kid now so I'm acutely aware of wanting to be healthy in old age so I can have more time with them. As I understand it, preventing loss of muscle mass is an important factor in longevity.
Even if you had a room temp SC manufacturing chips out of it would be a whole different issue. In fact we already have a material that can be used to build chips that can be clocked a couple OOM higher than silicon. It's just graphite. But even with a well known material like that and decades to try, the manufacturing capability still isn't there.

Agree with your overall point, though.
Electricity could help tackle a surprising climate villain
Indeed. Legal documentations are much more shared-source than software, by nature. Most agreements need to be in the possession of multiple parties and their attorneys in a reviewable form, for example, and court filings make the most contentious of such agreements public record.

This is a massive boon to the training data set. GitHub is also massive, but legal has other systemic advantages as well (e.g. being similar to past work is a structural advantage rather than just a practical one).
I think that really depends on your relationship status. I'm married and I'm more worried about longevity. Besides, my wife will not like it if I attract other girls.

Having said that, doing weight training or other kinds of exercise is really hard when kids are young and consume 98% of your time. Maybe in a couple of years I can start doing this seriously instead of ad-hoc. Hopefully still in time to combat the decline.

It is that bad. I use a Linux VM with docker from OSX and coworkers use docker with OSX.

Their compiles take 2m, mine take 30s.
I said without abusing the preprocessing, not without preprocessing at all.

My opinion is this is wrong, and I did voice my disagrement and gave my own view on the matter. If there is something extreme here is the karma slash upon displeasing the pro rust people and AI bots on HN.
Can you share a source for your summary? It's not in the link you provided and I don't see anything searching Peter's site directly on point (though may be contained in podcast episodes or something).
Russia is benefitting from the sanctions, China as well.

If these are so beneficial, why didn't China / Russia institute this kind of import/export restrictions on their own? It sounds like cheap propaganda ...
Stronglifts 5x5 is simply a terrible program to start. Pick a frequency you can adhere to over the long course of time, be it 2x - 6x a week, and stick to the basics. Don't try to lift ultra heavy on day 1 and btw, you don't need to lift heavy to build muscle.

If you are looking to start, huge shoutout to Dr. Mike from Renaissance Periodisation and Dr. Milo from Wolf Coaching. Both of their YouTube channels are excellent and set you up for the long-term.

I grew up in Minnesota, and I have to laugh that 250 K is -9.67 F, and yeah, we had a lot of days like that. It's amazing to think that future childhood toys could be superconducting outside on those cold Minnesota days.
What am I pretending? If the continental United States did not end at the border of the continental United States, this discussion wouldn't work. The latter half of the question does not logically follow the first, so it is not clear what the pretending is in reference to.

Perhaps you are questioning why I am pretending to be engaged with your trolling? Mostly because I enjoy your sense of humour. Some of the stuff you come up with is downright hilarious. Well done!
Now we are bringing something up from 2010? Yet it proved to be another *Gate. Apple sold the same phone - the GSM iPhone 4 for three years.

I mean this because I'm trying to help, but you're difficult to understand. Ambiguous even.

There's a comms heuristic: It's not what you say, it's what they here.

You likely understand you. I'm not so sure we're understanding you in the same way.

Again. This isn't a swipe; only some friendly food for thought.
Someone with low affect likely just gets seen as insincere, and a professional actor gets impunity?
Doesn't surprise me. I've used primarily Linux on a laptop and a little System76 Meerkat desktop since 2015.

There are a few odd edge cases but most things run smoothly.
oops! wrong reply button, my bad.
I remember some MLM pusher telling me back in 2009 that smartphones were going to take off or something because it hit some magic 2-4% threshold.

I genuinely think Windows got worse, and Linux people started recommending Fedora instead of Ubuntu/Debian-branch.

Microsoft pushes us away, good Linux distros keep us from going back.
Yes, you can install things manually, though popOS has its own own flatpak based "store" if you prefer that model. There are a few things that are missing from both though because the vendor only releases software in snap form and no one's bundled it otherwise (e.g. lxd). For those, you can either build from source or install snap yourself.
All of this is under the user control and you have to explicitly give apps permission
Our bodies are quite capable of dealing with when we have the right nutrition and we don’t create too much oxidative stress. I can’t believe how little understanding there is of the impact of distress.

Just being deficient in manganese, zinc and copper could increase superoxides to a point that starts creating DNA damage.

And it’s funny that you don’t think reactive oxygen species damage heart muscles. If there’s too much of them that is. If there’s an imbalance that is.

https://www.hindawi.com/journals/omcl/2020/5732956/#

If you’re not exactly sure what reactive oxygen species are, then, why don’t you look them up before you make comments of what you know nothing about. If you’re making fun, about a stupid comma that Siri placed in my sentence then well, that’s just childish. And you’re not serious at all.
Also, just throwing a bunch of disorganised thoughts into it, and letting it organise everything.
What you are describing has being happening for a long time in tech. It was suppose to make our life easier and do things we don't want to do, but has it? Seems like we are just become salves of digital technologies now days.

Instead what we got instead are surveillance capitalism and now this LLM/AI stuff that becomes much better are emulating human behaviour and languages. UX in software has NOT improved, and I dare to say it has gotten worse. Just feel the performance of iOS 6 on iPod touch vs the lates iOS. Tech over quarter century has just tech getting more complex, and made more easily to centralised and consolidate control. Is this what we really want?
Lots of vendors provide documentation in PDF format on CD/USB/online. I'd settle for that.
> The way I see it, western countries and US should take a clear stand about Taiwanese statehood, and Taiwan needs to do it first on their own in order for the rest of the world to take a stand, as they legally still lay claim on the entirety of China (and beyond).

Isn't it ironic that you're accusing others of warmongering, but then suggest an action which would almost certainly provoke a war? (China has been pretty explicit about declaration of sovereignty being their red line)
I feel it would be more useful to actually focus on data in a smaller, more homogenous group like people of similar incomes in a single country. The role that meat plays in the lives of people around the world is too varied (for example, wealthy upper-caste Hindus make up most vegetarian Indians).
Not sure why you’re being down voted.

This is the impression I have of google as well. Especially in the AI space.

Remember that “AI” scheduling a haircut or something that google presented in 2017?
Copying Big Tech Is Hurting Startups
You might be downvoted, but "looting" matches my impression with regards to Mozilla and its current CEO. If I were to guess, they'll stay until it's this profitable, and when the Google money finally goes away, they will too, onto the next victim.
I think it's more about the games people want to play. I certainly wouldn't buy a mac to game on. But if you already have one and it runs the games you want to play (factorio, for example), then why not just use it?
There isn't something more pressing to worry about than blogspam generators?
Yes and we all know how Apple “caves in to pressure” and knew they were going to lose sells to Android if they didn’t allow photo uploads from the browser
It's not really. The most popular distro is actually SteamOS Holo with 40% of the pie. For whatever reason Steam doesn't report SteamOS in the overall Linux stats until you drill down. It's also hard to tell if Arch is really the top non-SteamOS Linux distro because 5% of users are using the Steam Flatpak which could be on virtually on any distro.
Try non-Debian branch if you really want your breath blown away.

I'd use Fedora if I was only going to be using an office suite.

I can't imagine using Windows anymore, so many forced reboots and dealing with autosaves and reopening everything. Ugh
You can't be serious, China is actively supplying Russia's war against Ukraine and rest of Europe, with purchases and military supplies.

Technologists are spectacularly bad at understanding how much the system relies on trusting that people will do something vaguely reasonable/legal/prosocial, just how that trust is built up and preserved, and how fragile that trust really is. A lot of Big Tech disruption and moneymaking has been based on ignoring this point to consume systemic trust without replenishing it.
Yes. He seems good. After hearing him on Making Sense, I tried to read the book, but it was way too much for me. Also I don't really care about his personal issues. Kudos.
a traditional publisher will distribute your book through all of their sales channels. if you self-publish, it's very hard or near impossible to sell your book at a proper bookstore. the sales reps will also push the books onto independent booksellers, who might love the book and want to handsell it.
Humans are not well equipped to accurately judge sincerity.
Yes, Google can render your content handled by JavaScript, but Googlebot allows only a few milliseconds for rendering. If your page isn't rendered within that time frame, it may be penalized.

For this reason, many news and broadcasting media outlets still use prerendering services. I speak from experience as I worked in a large Canadian media company.

Another important factor to consider is that the SEO world isn't limited to Google. Various bots, including those from other search engines and platforms like Facebook, require correctly rendered pages for optimal sharing and visibility.

Lastly, the choice between client-side rendering (CSR) and server-side rendering (SSR) depends on your specific needs. Google Search Console provides valuable metrics and information about your app, so it might be worth considering SSR if that better aligns with your requirements.
Here's a trivial trick that considerably improves Gemini's ability to reason: ask it to explain the rationale behind its answer.

To get to this, I asked him to predict the return value of some simple python function (for """def func(a,b): return a*3 + 2*b)""" what's func(2)).

without requiring the explanation, the answers were not only wrong but also changed between attempts for the same input.

Asking the model to provide an explanation, however, resulted in it giving the correct answer each time.

This method still allows for improvement in the quality of answers in more complex problems, although at a bit lower correctness rate.
> The drawback of this is that there's this idea that he is the standard. But he's actually very opinionated, has some outdated info, and is very focused on powerlifting.

Came here to say the same thing. And afaict even his powerlifting advice is bizarre and dated.

After helping out some beginners get into lifting I'd say his program is at best a poor use of time and at worst, dangerous and encourages injury.
Because leniency when applying the law is often the most just course of action. Consider for instance a battered spouse who murders their abuser. Murder laws don't have built in leniency for every conceivable mitigating circumstance because it is expected that judges and juries will decide when it's appropriate to be lenient on a case-by-case basis.
The editing and review part is critical. Judges really have not liked it when completely fictitious citations ended up in court filings...
I want you to tell me who is not an outlier on a bell curve? How flat is the bell curve? How tall is it? Aren’t really most of us outliers?
I wonder how much scraping bots skewer the counters. They create a lot of traffic and majority of them run on "Linux Desktop", even though some modify the user agent.

Would be curious to see stats for e.g. subset of GPU-accelerated devices which can be detected in JS. Not as a true bot-filter of course, but as a uniform and widely-available metric biased towards real users.
“Neither image elicits a cat-like response” is a special case of both pictures being equally cat-like, and still gives you the 50/50 prior. And “not really, sure, kinda” is not a possible response to “which of these two copies of a vase picture looks more cat-like?”.

I agree we have a long road ahead of us, but you clearly do not understand the design of this experiment.
- You don't need 1g per pound of body weight. Most of the muscle gain can be had at 0.8g per pound of body weight.

- You can replace sugar with stevia and immediately introduce a calorie deficit.

- Cardio isn't super important if you are already doing Resistance Training. Simply getting around 10k steps per day is more than enough.

Clarification: the examples are not taken from Rosetta code. Only the n-queens algorithm is inspired by (but still different from) an Rosetta code implementation; otherwise this benchmark has nothing to do with Rosetta code.
> Most new authors are likely subsidized by their wealthy families.

You think most new authors have wealthy families?

That is a very odd assumption, given how hard it is to write a book... and given how low the returns are... and given how many other ways there are to achieve prestige... and given how little people regard authorship these days as a measurement of it... and given how unlikely it would be for wealth to have an outsized representation in a career generally associated with poverty... and how all old authors were once new authors which would imply that most of them are wealthy too, which, not so.
Yes. I'm using Pop and my Firefox is installed through apt.

You can use Snaps and Flatpak if you want.
I wonder if JRuby or Truffle Ruby would have a significant impact on this one for Ruby?
I think implementing some data structures like hash tables, lists and trees is the best way to get a feel for when one is suitable and what their traits actually are apart from just “has O(1) insert”. You can accomplish the same by lots of use, benchmarking, studying their source code etc too. But implementing at least to me is the quick and fun way of developing this gut feeling. It’s also not that rare to suddenly have the need to implement something you’d usually find in a library because you need some unique variation of an algorithm/data structure.

Whether this is truly fun I guess depends on where you are on the developer spectrum. I’d much rather develop low level libraries than app code so any chance I get is just a great opportunity to dig into the low level stuff.

Hi!

My name is Brandon.

I'm a backend and platform dev with a little over 5 years of experience, most recently as an SRE at Datadog for about 3 years before I quit. If you want to see for yourself the kind of things I’m good at, check out Cloudy But No Rain (https://www.cbnr.xyz, working title will probably change soon) — I built the whole thing from scratch and run it myself on bare-metal k8s.

Here’s what I’m looking for in a job:

* Small company (no more than ~25 developers) — I love knowing everyone I work with on a personal level.

* Financially sustainable — this means “at least profitable”, even better are bootstraps, nonprofits, and co-ops!

* Product oriented — my favorite work is when folks get together to iterate on something people love to use.

And finally (thanks a bunch if you’re reading all this), I think my biggest strength is that I give a shit. Always, about everything — I make time to write great documentation, I jump in to help in other people’s incidents, I create a deluge of comments when someone sends me a doc for feedback. I find a lot of joy in doing good work and I believe that’s why people often seem to really enjoy having me on their team.

If you want to work with someone like that, I’d love to see an email from you. Thanks!
IIRC, Microsoft, which is hosting OpenAI, has already their server farms on carbon-neutral electricity, and is heading towards full carbon neutrality on the lifecycle of their server farms.

So doing stuff yourself is less carbon efficient than letting ChatGPT do its job.

As for calculating co2 pollution into the prices - we're slowly doing that, e.g. EU is setting up its carbon tax that applies to companies abroad.

The issue is that if we were to instantly include true costs of carbon removal into everything, the economy might collapse at worst, and at the least poor people might not afford food, heating nor other basic necessities any more. It will take time to do it sensibly.
Same - I use Arch on my desktop and SteamOS (arch) on steam deck, I have had 0 issues with game compatibility in ~ 2 years
