Harnessing Ocean Energy: Minesto's Dragon 12, a Tidal Kite Powerhouse
I don't know what the specific solution is, but it is a polarizing topic.

I've read a lot of conservative opinions on this, from scholars to your average forum users, and have spoken with people IRL about this topic - and one thing that pops up again and again, is that many conservatives don't see wealth inequality as a problem.

The main argument is that the poor today have it better than N years ago, so the system must be working. And taxing the rich just stems from jealousy. Sprinkled in with just-world hypothesis.

EDIT: My observation is that poor people have easier access to debt today, compared to 30+ year ago. When I grew up - if you were broke, you were broke. You called family or friends, went to the pawn shop, or whatever - banks wouldn't issue you a credit card.

When I went to college, banks were literally throwing credit cards at everyone and their dog. I had zero income, but still got a CC with $5k limit. Never actually used it, but they it took 2 minutes to fill out the form (at the airport), and I got one in the mail a couple of weeks later.

If it was that easy to get a CC, then I guess poor people must have managed to bankroll themselves through bad times, as long as they managed to meet the minimum payments, or get new cards to cover the old ones.

Just an anecdote, of course.
For x1.5 the price, from what I can see. Are there any under $100?
The article says the exact same thing. Quote:

Another example, for Taubes, of how early researchers were mistaken, concerns the differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, which are so different they almost shouldn’t share a name. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system attacks and destroys the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, the hormone which regulates the level of glucose in our blood; people living with type 1 need insulin injections or an insulin pump, to survive. Like type 2, type 1 can cause complications such as heart, kidney or eye disease, and nerve damage.

Type 2 diabetes accounts for about 90% of cases, and is a metabolic disorder in which the body either can’t make or can’t use insulin (AKA insulin resistance) to metabolise glucose, leading to persistently high levels in the blood. Ultimately, people living with type 2 diabetes may need insulin and other diabetes medications, too, but for a lot of people, diet and lifestyle modifications can defer that need.
This is not cynical; it's realistic. The billionaires will reap the rewards at everyone else's expense, as it always has been.

I hate this world. I hate that this is what all this has led up to. We've accomplished at lot of science, empowering tech, and social justice through collective effort, but it hasn't been enough.

I hope for a new destabilizing tech that happens so fast and so rapidly, that those at the top will have no idea how to corner the markets emerging from it, and that the tech is so groundbreaking that it makes the existence of these vampires wholly irrelevant.
As a former Blizzard CS rep (I left in 2012), I can see why they'd do things like this to convince people to add 2FA to their accounts as most people wouldn't do so until AFTER they were hacked for the first time.

Based on many players saying to me "I don't know why they chose me", it seems that a lot of people don't realize that account compromising is a drag-net operation, it's like a fish thinking that there's no reason for them to be targeted specifically by a fisher, without realizing that fishing is such a large scale and impersonal activity.

In some industries, prices will follow wealthier people as more profit will come from gouging those on the lucky side now much larger wealth divide, and the middle class will vanish.

You saw an example of this in ecommerce during the pandemic's economic upheaval. Luxury goods recorded increased sales, as did bottom of the barrel retailers. Services and items in the comfortable middle class we all deserve suffered decreases.
A lot of people will complain after reading articles like this one. It is quite hopeless to even try to get a discussion going about what could be a better system. As long as even small tweaks are out of the question, I guess it will only get worse in the future.
As a former GM myself, can confirm all the above.
The daycare in Switzerland is going to be extremely expensive compared to neighbors.
That is somewhat idealistic view on SI, and even more so of the metric system. While SI is nominally coherent, it is in practice accomplished by having very awkward values for defining constants, and that factor is excluded from the coherence consideration. E.g. to convert from seconds to meters you need to use conversion factor c, which is very much not 1.

I would also be very careful and not conflate metric and SI systems. There are all sorts whacky metric systems (although most of them historical) that are not nearly as clean as SI. And even SI historically has been messier than its today.
To add to your comment, I'll just note that critics of VCs (and capitalism in general) are unique in being dissatisfied with either outcome.

When they build businesses with presences in various countries, they claim that they are weakening a country by diffusing their power, making them reliant on other countries - which, if you think about it, reduces the possibility of war. At the same time, when they invest in a country's defense sector so that a country can defend itself against aggressors, they are simultaneously accused of inciting wars.
The pandemic did this to a lot of people. Habits are difficult to form, and are more easily broken. In my estimation, the pandemic caused many people to lose everything, or at least lose a lot of things which they spent years creating or building. Rebuilding from proverbial ground zero, or seeing the transient nature of things that may not have seemed quite so transient (be they projects, friendships, relationships, careers) before become destroyed, does quite a number on motivation.

Obviously, some people flourished during the past few years. Though, the majority of my coworkers and friends hit the permanent suspend button on side projects and other things. It is difficult to stay motivated on projects when you realize how much can be taken from you in an instant.
Here's a fun exercise: Take a look at the Forbes Rich List for 2020-2021, and find me a billionare who lost wealth.

What we did over those years will be recorded as one of the single biggest wealth transfers in history.
Never understood why inequality is a problem. At least as long as people can move geographically and/or law enforcement does a good job.

There is a problem of rich not spending enough, but it is a consequence of "fighting inequality" which results in them being shy of spending, and while it is indeed dangerous long-term, that is a purely social/psychological problem which can be solved without any "physical" economic changes.

Global warming pushes ocean temperatures off the charts: study
> Tools are built to serve man. AI is just another tool.

This logic reads as an attempted proof that no man-made machine or technology can ever possibly be net harmful. That seems like an argument easily punctured.

"This is no different" is also a leap, because humans have a large but finite number of ways to be of service to each other. Mechanization augmented one of them, which shifted more value onto the remainders (mostly intellectual and emotional work). If AI can replace the latter, it's not implausible that this really will broadly displace the majority of human labor skills without growing new value areas, similar to how mechanization replaced horses.
> Seriously, if you’re at the point that you’re doing sophisticated analysis of cloud costs, consider dropping the cloud.

Which would mean that you loose part of the reason to use the cloud in the first place... A lot of org move to cloud based hosting because it enable them to go way further in FinOps / cost control (amongst many other thing).

This can make a lot of sense depending on your infra, if you have some fluctuation in you needs (storage, compute, etc...), cloud based solution can be a great fit.

At the end of the day, it is just a tool. I worked in places where I SSH´d into the prod bare-metal server to update our software, manage the firewall, check the storage, ... and all that manually. And I worked in places where we were using a cloud provider for most of our hosting needs. I also handle the transition from one to the other.
All I can say is: It's a tool. "The cloud" is no better or worse than a bare-metal server or a VPS. It really depends on your use-case. You should just do your due diligence and evaluate the reason why one would fit you more than the other, and reevaluate it from time to time depending on the changes in your environment.

This whole "cloud bad" is just childish.
ofc, chatgpt can do better in previous years given that solutions discussed all over the internet and could've train on them.
Git is a crude tool that exposes reference semantics to its user. In general, even programming-oriented tools like IDEs don't do that. Suppose you had to configure an IDE or a build system by creating chains of references and occasionally putting "fc8d43" to join disconnected sub-trees.
As a former GM, as at the time I left in 2012 I had never encountered a case of a 2FA secured account getting hacked and account compromises were easily >50% of our workload.

The problem had become that most players wouldn't add 2FA to their accounts until AFTER they got hacked, so any in-game incentive to add it was in our eyes a good one.

You're trying to guilt people about liberal use of the mark-as-spam button but you seem to have no issues with senders liberally using the "send spam" button.

On the contrary. I dislike spam as much as the next person and I have never allowed my own businesses to engage in "common" practices I consider unacceptable even when that has almost certainly cost us money.

I'm just saying there are two sides to this story and extreme solutions in favour of either one side will probably have undesirable side effects for innocent parties.

Isn't more than 3A at 5V out of USB-PD 2 and 3 spec? You can set max 3A amp for USB PD with just placing a 5.1k resistor on each USB CC line without the need for a USB PD IC.

If you need more you would need to request for example 20V at 5A and then buck convert it down to 5V. Not ideal but you can at least pull the current you need through thinner cables and you also have enough to power external USB devices.
This in itself proves nothing. Consider how much resources have been poured in making rockets better over the last few decades and yet we still can barely make it to Mars.

It is also quite possible that there are fundamental limits to scaling LLMs that we have not discovered yet. You won't find a way to let airplanes fly to the moon no matter how many resources you pour into it. To make it there, you need better methods (ie rockets in this case) that look nothing like the first few steps to get off the ground.
Yep. AI passed us in chess decades ago, and today there are more people making money playing chess than there were back then.

Not childish…. it’s a growing line of thought in the IT community that has bought the cloud sell unquestioningly for 20 years.

Am I the only one that fundamentally disagree with this? AI rather impacts low-skilled white collar jobs. Or the "low skill" part of a high skill job. For a dev one example is AI is good at writing the boilerplate for you.

You've misread the type of children they saw - an awful lot of schools, like yours, did (do?) trips to Isle of Wight and that activity centre, but the comment you replied to was talking about seeing kids who lived on the IoW doing their daily (presumably) commute back from their school on the mainland.

I am far younger than you, but ditto on all counts. The pandemic crushed everything that I studied and worked for. And it taught me as someone in my early 20s that even though I spent my entire life with my nose to the grindstone, everything could be instantly stripped away by world governments, and friends and coworkers and family members could also suddenly turn on each other like rabid dogs.

Honestly, at least be grateful that you had some good years of excitement, it seems. I was young during the 2008 crash, but it affected my family. And now I have no motivation for anything. My peers are similar. Why build something only to have it crushed? A lot of us are just living in the moment. We also saw people with lifelong careers and families of their own have their lives destroyed by various governments in the USA and abroad.
As far as I know more than 3A at 5V is out of USB spec and should require the use of USB-PD negotiating 20V or so at 5A and then buck convert that down to 5V.

> ChatGPT never did this: its debugging skills are completely non-existent. If it encounters an error it will simply rewrite entire functions, or more often the entire program, from scratch.

Well, it's going to need to rewrite functions to add debug due to not having edit capabilities, but I tried this and it absolutely added debug info which it then used to debug issues:

In an inner part it added:

debug_info.append({
'Hand': hand,
'Bid': bid,
'Type': hand_info[0],
'Sorted Hand': hand_info[1],
'Rank': rank,
'Score': score
})

I don't know quite what's happening but I feel like people constantly say it can't do something and the very first thing I try (just asking it to do the thing) usually works.

I gave it the hands in the problem statement and the expected result, and the explanation as to why (copy pasted). It ran the code, looked at the debug output, identified the problem and rewrote the function. I'm not saying it immediately solved the problem, but it easily added debug information, ran the code, looked at the output and interpreted it.
> Most programmers will use STR/FMT, and unless they offer an HTML or an SQL processor in the stdlib, they wont be used.

New processors obviously can't be used unless they're offered by a library, but when they are, they must be used. The libraries simply won't offer an API based on strings (and, therefore, interpolated strings), or if they already do, they will be able to deprecate them. If an HTML library has no API that takes strings, then STR/FMT simply can't be used. The library can enforce the safety of its API.

> Sure, but the processor can do little short of implementing full parsing to understand the context of say HTML or SQL, right?

Yes, that's the point. An HTML library will offer an HTML processor, and similarly for a JSON or SQL library. I'm not apprised of the exact status, but I believe that the team specifying JDBC is looking into offering a SQL processor as part of JDBC.

- useEffect is a React Hook that lets you synchronize a component with an external system.

- Connecting to an external system

- Wrapping Effects in custom Hooks

- Controlling a non-React widget

- Fetching data with Effects

- Specifying reactive dependencies

- Updating state based on previous state from an Effect

- Removing unnecessary object dependencies

- Removing unnecessary function dependencies

- Reading the latest props and state from an Effect

- Displaying different content on the server and the client

You need active cooling if you want to extract all the performance out of it. The standard cooling kits sold by Raspberry Pi are neat and cheap though, so not a problem in my experience. They have two options: A case with a fan on top, and a small heatsink + fan combo. The fans run at variable speed, so generally pretty quiet.
I saw it when I was maybe 14 or 15, it blew my mind that a film could be like this, different, non-formulaic. I loved the twist at the end, when you get it, you want to start over, watch it with a new perspective.
There are cases where the wal file is not merged on shutdown of the application. I think a corrupted database can also prevent merging the wal file automatically. A corrupted database can often be repaired, but it needs to be done manually.

I've been bitten badly by that issue once. I just mounted the .db file into a docker container and didn't realize that sqlite creates wal files. On an non-graceful shutdown of the application the wal file was not merged into the db and the container deleted. And around a day of changes were lost.

Conclusion: Sqlite databases should be placed into their own folder, so it's obvious that it's not always just one file.
Yeah, it's usually a cliched pseudo-sceintific way of saying "I don't think it's necessary", and that seems to be the case here too.
These types of exaggerations do the author favours. If Samantha worked like the demo, it would’ve been a very short movie as the protagonist would’ve quickly become bored or frustrated and returned it.

More importantly, Samantha turned out to not be such a great idea by the end of the movie (as is common in science-fiction). The Torment Nexus joke is ever more relevant.

Face the facts, if renewables were accessible, able to be produced everywhere and cheap as Big Green, Big Finance and Big Government says, the market would have already chosen it. But the reality is that renewables suck, and will completely obliterate the economy of every country pushing it blindly as it is already doing with Germany and the UK.

Meanwhile this will do nothing to reduce the use of renewables, because while the G-7 is committing economic suicide, it is only making oil cheaper for the rest of the world that is eager to develop themselves.

You can have as much bad science and marketing speak saying otherwise, but the energy prices tell the truth: Solar and Wind are fucking expensive. And we are justing playing with it because 40 years ago, we had people like you along with the Big Oil doing as much as they could to arrest the development of Nuclear Energy.
