- Even with no one on board, losing a Space Shuttle is a big deal

- Astronauts received expensive training, you don't want to lose the investment

- Astronauts are not just random people, they have a hard to find set of qualities

- Having people die in public is bad publicity

It is not politically correct to say it like that, but it is undeniable that some lives are more valuable than others.

$10M is kind of an average. When you build a road for instance, astronauts and violent criminals can both take it. The astronaut is more valuable than the criminal, but it makes no sense to make the road safer for astronauts without making it safer for everyone else, so we take an average. But put in their respective environments (Space Shuttle vs prison), it becomes very obvious whose life is the most valuable.
You'd need to factor in the prestige and national morale costs , plus the political consequences.

Don't forget heat recovery ventilation.

The house I bought used originally a wood furnace which created a good draft of fresh air from the walls by sucking the ambient air into the chimney. Once the furnace had been replaced by an electric system (first radiator then heat pump), the air became stale in the house, causing all sorts of incomfort and humidity issues.

Progress bars and meters are semantically very different even if visually they look very similar. If you have used 30% of your storage space you aren't 30% done filling your storage. (Well kinda, but you probably delete things occasionally and it isn't quite right.) Or if your GPU is at its maximum operating temperature and thermal throttling it isn't 100% done heating up.

Basically many meters don't really represent progress. Maybe it could have been one element with `type=progress` or `type=scale` or similar. But at least for screen readers I can imagine that they would want to differentiate them. I imagine that the default styling may also be different, for a progress bar you may want some sort of throbbing effect to show that something is working while for a meter that typically wouldn't make sense.

Rooftop-solar industry blames PG&E, Newsom as Bay Area businesses struggle
>Central to PG&E foes’ criticism is the guaranteed 10% to 12% profit it is allowed to make, via rate increases, on its investments in infrastructure including systems for feeding power to urban areas from large remote solar arrays. “That’s crazy high,” said Del Chiaro, of the solar industry association. “It sets up this incentive for them to be against anything that reduces the need for poles and wires.”
To an extent, htmx is the successor to intercooler.js, which was released in 2013 and which was a turbolinks-adjacent technology (although never really noticed by the 37Signals folks).

htmx is a bit more focused on one core concept, generalizing hypermedia controls, than hotwire.dev is, and is a little less magic. Both are fine choices for a hypermedia driven application.

To the contrary - In many countries, average happiness is higher when you are older, despite physical challenges. The lowest happiness is typically in the 30s and 40s.

If you want to approach it from a happiness utilitarian perspective, a year at 60 or 70 is usually worth more than a year at the lifetime average happiness.

Turned or "clocked" gauges [0] are used to further reduce cognitive load by turning the gauges so that the needle aligns to closely to a horizontal or vertical line when operating in normal conditions. If you notice that your gauges are not pointing "straight up" then you can take a second pass and actually read the indicated number on the gauge.

I understand that this is not helpful for things like vehicle speed but OP's point still applies.

Why would that be why George Hu left Twilio?

A CEO has to be the face of the company and needs a good reputation. It seems like he was a good leader.

From an outsider it looks wrong.
> isn’t that his job?

The CEO’s job is to create value. The answer to your question is “it depends”.

If buyers of their services are impressed with his ability to live code and that moves the needle on results, then yes. If the same can be accomplished by having a non-CEO developer evangelist, then probably no.
I work in tech and had never heard of Jeff or George. I could name every CEO of Twitter or Google, or the founding CEOs of companies like Stripe, AirBnB, Uber, Coinbase, etc. Companies like Twilio and Unity don't really register.

Likely, the improvement over 4000 cards is minimal, and they are marketing towards owners of 3000 (and older) cards to upgrade.

That said, I'm curious to know how they stack up against a 4090, and if these new cards can melt wires and burn down a house as easily.
Sure! But be intentional about the cost/benefit of opting out, rather than being pissed that the game-players are getting something you want.

Or find somewhere that operates differently. Some people hope that academia will be different and better than business. From what I can see it is often worse, but ymmv.
> By far the thing that prevented PWAs from bigger uptake earlier was Apple dragging their feet on push notifications support on iOS.

Is there any evidence that this moved the PWA needle at all, he said hopefully? I would've predicted no effect on PWA adoption.

> …last I checked the "install to home screen" on iOS Safari was still a horrible user experience (the actions is hidden under the "share" menu, which makes no sense to me).

For better or worse, it's how iOS users are trained to "do something" with the current web page. Keeping in mind that "PWA" is jargon that average users won't be familiar with, what would be easier than (1) tap Share, tap (2) Add to Home Screen?

Increasing what fish wholesale pay for caught tuna might serve to make smaller catches more viable.

I mean I expect those dish prices to go up regardless but I don't think that is near enough by itself. Fishing families have to pay their bills and corp fishing execs have to satisfy whoever they're beholden to. Those are powerful motivators and they commonly don't respond to anything less than enforced regulation.

I don't think it's a worse track record than blockchain. Things are clunky now, but there are some genuinely fun and cool experiences to be had:

- Playing table tennis in VR is more fun than in real life since you don't have to go chasing around the room to pick up balls.

- I've used VR headsets to show my parents and other elderly folks photosphere shots I've taken from mountain summits that they would never be able to access or see in person.

- There are some VR games that are quite well received (e.g., Half-Life Alyx).

- Beat Saber is a blast.

I totally agree that where the technology is today, it's not ready for broad adoption. But as displays, materials, and capabilities expand, so too do the possibilities. We're probably not going to hit sci-fi levels of VR anytime in the next decade, but we can almost certainly create compelling experiences that go far beyond what exists today.
Exactly! It’s the same distraction as the noise about Hunter’s substance use. I do not care about either.

> and the people are better off with free, open markets long term.

The theory only says that all the people globally will be better off. It does not say anything about citizens of a specific country that is applying protectionism. They may be better off for it, they may be worse - it depends on the particulars and, as most economic interventions, can only really be judged post-factum.
this is pretty much my take as well - but as a non-employee - I was a big fan and user of twilio when they first came out, even attended the very first few twiliocon conferences in SF, (mostly developer focused) where they would announce and release new features - lots of excitement as new things got announced and rolled out during the annual conferences.

Then after not very long, you would goto the conferences where they would make announcements about what is coming, but no real timelines attached and some things that were announced, never really materialized - or not fast enough etc.

Then they started diversify like crazy into other areas, unrelated, and I think they really lost their focus - stopped using them (99% stopped) a long time ago for those reasons.
They spent a ton of money buying other companies. That’s always capital intense.

Software isn’t capital intensive the way a large industrial factory would be, but it still has unfavorable financial conditions that require raising. You can’t sell software until you’ve built it, so you have to incur a large employee/R&D expense for years until the product is ready. And of course none of that is IP that you can just get a loan against (unlike say, building a factory).

At this point I'll just wait for the 5000 series, especially the 5080. Will be out in ~12-14 months.
I find this surprising. Did we not just have a pandemic, where people had to have fun without 'going out' and spending money? It was great to see so many people gathering in parks etc. instead of going to restaurants.

I found it very strange and sad that after the lifting of lockdowns people went right back to the way things used to be. Did we learn nothing? Such a squandered opportunity.

What happened to just meeting up in a street or at someone's place and 'hanging out' informally? At what point did it become near-obligatory to have a sit-down dinner or 'go out' to enjoy the company of friends?

A lot of what Phoenix has to offer comes from Elixir language features and the Mix build tool. To the extent it's possible I can't imagine it would be pleasant or useful.
By "political consequences" you mean "this might interrupt our gravy train". Of course that was the real reason.
I've done a bunch of builds like that before.

Typically, machine shops specialize in some form of manufacturing type (milling / lathing metal, for example) or specific niche (metal stamping). If your parts require different manufacturing processes, you may potentially need multiple shops to get that done.

I found that Chinese machine shops are going to be both cheaper (about 8x in my experience) and faster lead time than North American shops. The exception will be that if you need something highly specialized (e.g. super tight tolerances), you may find it easier to get it done locally. I'll assume you'll be going with a Chinese place below. For finding Chinese places, I use Alibaba with MOQ set to 1.

Machine shops are always trying to expand and get bigger contracts with bigger customers. They dislike low order quantities and low volumes, and I found that I need to continuously cycle machine shops every couple of years as they move to larger customers. The other thing is that with manufacturing, there's a setup cost (flat cost per batch) plus a per-part cost. At single and low double-digit volumes, setup cost is going to be a lot. Make your part easy to manufacture - easy to clamp, made from readily available stock, use more readily available machining (e.g. 3 axis and not 5 axis, straight lines doable with a manual mill vs CNC), reduce manufacturing steps.

I found that cheaper machine shops (say, 2x cheaper than others) will tend to have a lower ability to understand what I'm trying to get done (will take a lot more & simpler communication) as well as a higher probability of the part being out of spec.

The more proficient you are at knowing what you want (obsessively defined specs and tolerances on everything you can think of) will get you much cheaper results. The less you spec out, the more they need to think about your design and your needs, and that's quite expensive from their side. My process is to have a drawing PDF that I send to 10 manufacturers for quotes, get 5 quotes back and select from those.
The idea of our lives being in/on our phones, is an animating plot mechanism in Accelerando( by Charles Stross: a tech executive loses their <device> and is unable to function, most memory and executive functions having been delegated to it; and a kid who finds it, becomes correspondingly empowered.
My impression is a lot of the open source action is around the just-about-runs-in-12GB region - lots of models coming out with 7B/13B and 4-bit quantisation, a few 70B models (which won't fit in 24GB anyway) and only limited stuff in between.

I suppose I could be getting a biased impression though, as of course many more people are in a position to recommend the more accessible models.

What sort of things are you running that take full advantage of that 24GB?
The OP covers this a bit as well:

I've been in mission control for a satellite when this is going on. It is the worst stress I have experienced in my professional career. Things sorted out in the end (some bias calibrations were just plain wrong). I hope for the best for this team!
I don't see how this move changes anything.
I was thinking "it would look bad on the polls" but yeah that too.
This often remains true even over smaller scales. For instance, between 2009 to 2012 I was in a combined arms battalion that deployed to Iraq twice and we experienced three deaths in combat and nine in traffic accidents near Fort Hood during those years. Another drowned in a lake near post. Also, one death due to suicide in theater.
You can see the 802.11be working group status on this page: https://www.ieee802.org/11/Reports/802.11_Timelines.htm. Right now it's still in draft status with draft 5.

That said, waiting for the standard to be fully ratified before beginning certifications would lead to months of delay with certification. With the draft so solidified at this point what would delaying the start of certifications gain? It's not like they are going to scrap the entire standard to start from scratch in draft 6.
To be fair, I probably make the same as a bartender here in the US. Blows my mind that people are easily making $120,000+.

These are the strange effects of ZIRP and infinite QE. Many companies never had to care at all about profit and could just do things "for fun", and still see valuations skyrocket as long as they hired more people. What a time.
I am not justifying as it didn't happen. But for example general Patton realized that Russian communists were equal or maybe even greater evil than the Nazis were. Now we know for sure that he had the right understanding - tens of millions people were murdered by Russian communists. More over they exported their murderous ideology into other countries causing even wider human suffering. My comment argues that if US had waged war against Russia after WW2 to liberate Russia from communist dictatorship then most likely nukes would have been used, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths (mind you - the nukes of the day were small in comparison), but avoiding tens of millions. But perhaps the nukes would not have been used as despite their fame, their real utility is small (if you are trying to minimize civilian causalities). We'll never know.

My main argument is that the usage of nukes by itself doesn't include any moral values - it is necessary to understand the context in what these weapons are used.

FrodoPIR: A new privacy-preserving approach for retrieving data (2022)
Well, worms and insects
Sure, and if you show me the Pepsi logo 3000 times I can draw a pretty good copy of it. I think that's mostly irrelevant to the conversation.

Logically, I find myself on the side of the "humans aren't so special" side of this debate. We should encumber AIs with the same restrictions humans have when it comes to their "education". Sure you have to have a legal right to read/train on the material, but what you later produce is not necessarily a copyright violation.

If the LLM is straight up plagiarizing copyrighted material, then yes, the vendor should be responsible for damages.

Otherwise, if what we're trying to do is just sabotage these new-fangled digital looms because we don't want to compete with them, then well, I think there is a term for people that do that.
