And the number of companies that made use of computers was low when they first came out, despite the fact that the fledgling technology was genuinely valuable to them.

What's your point?
Ironic since I’ve been thinking:

FreeBSD : Go :: Linux : Rust
Been contracting for 7 years and there's been a 10x in opportunities from Q42023 to Q12024.

Things are looking very up.
Net effect is negative even without weight!

Tesla are 2 tons monsters that charge at 100 000 Watts. 100 Watts produced by integrated panels like this, are most likely not even enough to power up battery controller!

If you charge Tesla from normal house plug in cold, 2KW are not enough to heat up battery pack. So car has to use energy from batteries for heating! So "charging" will actually reduce energy!

Small solar panels are great for fixing parasitic battery drain on vehicles though!
OpenAI recently removed the restriction in their ToS against military uses. Maybe there was a merge conflict when another team tried to removed the restrictions on electoral campaigning.
Every time I see the story covered the figure is 4000 watt, which the creator himself does mention, but every single picture that's shared is of the 2000 watt version. I've never seen this discrepancy cleared up. The 2000 watt version takes up every last inch of roof space, how on earth is there a 4000 watt version and what does that actually look like?
Peacock is a great metaphor. The one hand you could save the display is wasteful and useless, but the other hand genuinely is evolutionarily, beneficial.

Any individual Peacock might wake up one morning and say “wow this is silly,“ but they are still strongly incentivized to participate, because the rewards are significant.

Participation in irrational, rituals can be a perfectly rational decision.
True, and this is why I added "relatively speaking". There was also Tbilisi massacre and the situation was very much on the edge also in Latvia and Estonia, but it all could have been much, much worse. He could have used brutal force and drowned all these independence movements in blood like was done in Budapest and Prague previously. Most importantly he accepted the withdrawal of Soviet armed forces from East Germany that eventually led to withdrawal of Russian occupation forces from all Russian occupied republics (except from less autonomous occupied territories on Russian SFSR).
Lisp uses UNWIND-PROTECT to implement that.

For example WITH-OPEN-FILE closes the file automatically when leaving its scope.

(with-open-file (stream "hello.world")
(read stream))

WITH-OPEN-FILE is a macro and expands into OPEN and CLOSE operations, protected by an UNWIND-PROTECT.

Thus anything where a destructor would automatically clean things up is done in Lisp behind the scenes automatically using an UNWIND-PROTECT form.
So they were added to suit the character of the neighborhood? That is a great selection criterion.

Not really sure why this was killed, but it's absolutely true. From the moment we started making radio signals, we've been broadcasting our location. Every single time we communicate with our deep space probes, we're sending out very specific signals that we're here. To that end, that's the entire point of the opening scene in the movie Contact. It's just that the time frame we've been broadcasting is just a drop in the ocean of cosmological time, and the signals really haven't gone very far in comparison.
He’s getting “20 to 75 miles of extra range” midpoint is ~45 miles per day * 365 days = 16,000 miles per year.

If he’s seeing 25% extra drag at highway speeds he would need to drive over 60,000 miles per year of highway driving to be in the negative.

> At "20-70 miles per day" of charge from the solar panels that is happening with any kind of normal driving habits.

It's absolutely not doing 70 miles a day, and given how large and boxy the structure is when folded, the car is probably losing more than that in increased drag unless it's only ever crawled.

This is pretty cool! I built a prototype of something similar last year: starting with your family's macros and meals, it fetches recipes and a list of ingredients that fit.

I didn't mean that there is an information deficit.

By "educating" I meant that a holistic approach is needed, that's why I compared it to drug addiction. Vulnerable and affected people can only be helped by human consultation, with trust and frequent contact.

I think it's great if we have a treatment for obesity, but can we maybe actually certify & test it for that purpose first instead of this off-label thing it seems to be?
~50% of Americans are morbidly obese - which is a relatively recent phenomenon.

Why have people for thousands of years and still in many other countries not had this constant insatiable hunger that you speak of?

The American lifestyle leads to a ~50% morbidly obese rate - not human nature.

Morbidly obese rates throughout all human history were <10% until pretty recently.
If someone is repeatedly ignoring evidence that has been provided and engaging in dishonest behavior then calling that out is not an insult.

If someone is justifying genocide and you question their sanity then it's them being hostile and you being reasonable.

>From reading your comments in this thread, you are clearly over-invested in this conflict

I'm not over-invested, no one can ever be over-invested in trying to prevent genocide. I will call a spade a spade, participating in fake civility to entertain someone's bad faith behavior is also not something conducive to a "curious discussion".

I would not be surprised if it is the same part of the brain that is activated when some people see brands as for religious or spirituality things. I think believing in something, being part of a tribe is very important for some (maybe most) people and brands with marketing have been really successfull at replacing religions.

Regarding fleeing humans from the future that's quite funny. Tho it raises the question of, if they can flee to the past, could they not migrate into separate timelines and alter their futures(-from-there) in a way to make them not flee?

Probability then suggests that (time travel to the past)-ability leads to a low chance of encountering such migrants in exodus, but still possible in exploration! hahaha :)
I agree, the tide analogy kinda breaks down here though. We're all familiar that it's somewhat rare that a technological advancement goes from no usage to film and wide distribution in one step. New technologies are distributed only to the rich precisely because they are time and resource intensive to develop and can only be feasibly prepared via a process which will inevitably occur costs that the majority of humans will not be able to meet. But you _need_ those first few rich people, because the money they put in starts the feedback cycle that would not be able to start otherwise. Ideally this then begins a process of optimization which gradually allows these products to become available to everyone.

Inequality is the price of innovation, but it doesn't have to be paid forever.
> Are you referring to access through a raw pointer after ownership has been dropped and then garbage collection is non deterministic?

No - basically objects sometimes have some state of when they are "destroyed", e.g. an Element detached from the DOM tree[1]. Other parts of the codebase might have references to these objects, and previously accessing them after they destroyed would be a UAF. Now its just a bug. This is good! Its not a security bug anymore! However much harder to determine what is happening as it isn't a hard crash.

[1] This isn't a real case, just an example.
Set a reasonable limit, which will vary wildly based on the hardware and software involved.

I'm sure there's companies out there selling high-tech solutions, but you already come equipped with a pair of incredibly sensitive instruments attached to your head.

You have builder grey, builder white, builder off white, and builder beige.
Hitachi's SH series were supposedly named that because they were "super hot". Their marketing department didn't manage to propagate that interpretation but I liked the architecture.

> The SH-4 is probably most famous for being the processor behind the Sega Dreamcast.

It was always amusing to visit Sega HQ back in those days and see how all-in they were on Hitachi: from the Hitachi elevator in the building to the conference rooms with Hitachi OHP, Hitachi wall clock, Hitachi conference table, Hitachi pens, hitachi computers and of course Hitachi chips... Those huge conglomerates (Keiretsu) are crazy!
“Fun tip, you have plenty of protein right at home!”
The stuff that’s included in the system after a standard install, before you install any additional stuff. It’s all in one repository and it’s maintained by the FreeBSD project. Stuff like the kernel, libc, utils, dtrace, compilers needed to build base, ... Basically everything that’s needed for a usable system. It’s updated all together through binary patches, not separately through packages like on Linux. When you want something more, you either compile it from source using Makefiles stored in a repository called “ports” (the Makefiles download the tarballs with source code, verify their checksums, build them etc), or you install pre-built packages using the pkg package manager.

The FreeBSD project tends to like to slim the base system down. E.g. some years ago they removed Perl from the base system. So out-of-the-box the only scripting language that’s available is shell. In contrast, OpenBSD has more stuff in its base system and on the subject of Perl they doubled down on it (their package manager e.g. is written in Perl). It’s also visible, when you download the base system repos for each of them and run tokei to find out the numbers of LOC. (I don’t remember the numbers off the top of my head.) That said, FreeBSD still includes a full LLVM toolchain due to the rule “base builds base”, and LLVM is... a lot. It’s the biggest source of bloat in my jails to be honest. I keep meaning to find out if I can remove it from them.
GUI file managers are usually used for things where speed is a non-issue. For anything else, Right-Click "Open Terminal Here".

We've Reestablished Contact with the MarsHelicopter
Dean Phillips seems relevant to this community. He has proposed cabinet positions for Elon Musk and Bill Ackman, and announced yesterday that he might be interested in running in the general under the No Labels ticket.

My understanding is that to make that work, he would need to switch parties pretty soon in order not to be affected by sore loser laws in many states that would prevent him from switching parties after the primary.

To me he appears to be an obvious Republican spoiler effort pushed by some of the wealthiest people in tech including Musk and Altman. If it were my boss pushing this I would be incensed.
You can hash them without a salt and store them in a set of passwords not associated to user accounts to enforce uniqueness without having to actually know the passwords
Oh, don't get me wrong, you will pay a price for disaggregated highly available storage, and you might need to evaluate whether you want to pay that price or not. But those are two very different worlds, and only one of them gives you elastic disk size, replication, scale-out throughput, and so on.

GP makes Ceph sounds worse than it is, when reality is that just shoving all your reads & writes over the network, writes multiple times because of replication, is gonna cost you no matter what tech you build that with.
Who does this benefit in a zero-sum competition scenario, assuming that everybody is affected.

For instance, imagine a competition over the AI toaster market. You have Philburn, the broke PhD student with a great idea, Burnright LLC, the toaster algorithm and electronics designer, BurnCo, the manufacture, and B2N, the toast technology venture capitalist.

A few scenarios: 1) BurnCo hires Philburn for internal R&D. 2) Burnright develops the tech and licenses to BurnCo. 3) BurnCo contracts Burnright for R&D. 4) Philburn starts Smoke, gets B2N investment, and gets acquired by BurnCo.

Which of these, or others, become comparatively advantaged with this new tax treatment?
Agreed. "We'd have APIs if y'all didn't use them" is a really bad take.

Part of the reason why API access is desirable is because it forms an effective safeguard against some forms of company abuse. To argue that we can only have API access if nobody uses it for adversarial interoperability or to build 3rd-party clients or to bypass systems -- we might as well argue against API access entirely if that's going to be our position. The point of API access is to be able to use it.
Zero sum game is a mathematical abstraction.

It is dangerous and ignorant to assume anything in real world is like that.

There may be only _some_ niches and _some_ specific problems, systems that are well described by this model.

But that’s it.

Unfortunately ideas like that are very sticky because they look beautiful and simple and average joe (like average journalist out there) equals beauty or simplicity with truth, and truth with real world.
Hint: It is not about the fees. The 3% fee is a much smaller problem to have than what the world of crypto brings. Oh and while we are at it, remind me how to get majority of customers to pay in crypto who are used to just credit cards or wires ?

Suppose that all browsers hide javascript-inside-svg behind a preferences checkbox that's turned off by default.

What on the web breaks?

Most of the scripting related to SVGs I've seen are SVGs controlled by javascript in the containing HTML, usually through an HTML framework.

Hell, in the history of the web has there ever been a framework written specifically for the javascript-inside-svg case?

The irony is that svg has not gained generally usability as an uploadable image format precisely because of this feature that nearly no one uses.

Looking at weight gain for immigrants and long-term visitors really shows how hopeless this is to fight individually. It’s not that other countries’ citizens are individually making better choices, it’s that… they don’t live in America.

Something’s just totally fucked about our culture when it comes to food and activity. A few can overcome it, but relying on individual willpower to get us out of this mess is clearly never going to work.

That leaves figuring out what’s wrong with our culture and fixing that (hard, probably multiple generations to achieve) or drugs (available now, doesn’t require coordination to achieve, people who need it can just go get it)
possible, but uncomfortable -- nailed it. life is not supposed to be 100% comfortable. traditional spiritual practices bake in periods of discomfort for a reason.

Yeah or the other way around. I thought I saw orcs kek’ing as an alliance character. They’d mangle text spoken in languages you didn’t know, and horde / alliance did not have any language overlap.
Panel efficiency is calculated before rated power. 4kW * 5 hours that’s 20kWh. At ideal tilt with solar tracking you can get close to 30 kWh/day from a 4kW worth of panels in ideal conditions, but flat panels are significantly worse.

The quote was 20-75 miles per day of range. Let’s assume 25% extra drag at highway speeds. That puts breakeven at 80-300 miles of highway driving per day which most people don’t do.

What makes you think they didn't? Maybe they just didnt have enough food to satisfy themselves and were constantly uncomfortably hungry.
It's not so much the frequency as the nature of the accidents. There is an astonishing lack of regulations, safeguards, and standards (especially in Chinese videos) combined with an astonishing lack of situational awareness, foresight, and humility (especially in Indian videos).

Of course America has its unique videos too. Every place has its problems, that's what I find interesting about it. I like the unfiltered view into the underlying culture and psychology in these places that only "gore" videos can provide.

CICO looks like dumb advice ONLY if you think it to mean that you should be literally summing the nutritional labels of the foods you consume and whatever calorie estimates your smartwatch shows you and treat it as gospel.

Both the CI and CO numbers can have very large error margins, however, the fact that their difference, if leading to a caloric deficit, will cause weight-loss is irrefutable truth.

If you do a diet for 14 days and have no change in weight, it just means you need to reduce consumption more.

CICO isn't unfair because it's incorrect. It's unfair because for some people following CICO comes trivially, while for others it's literally the hardest thing they will ever do in their lives.

And that's why I do sympathize with people who find it hard to lose weight. You are fighting against your most primal instincts (the desire to eat).

But that doesn't mean CICO is incorrect.
American SIM. I just turned on my phone and the whole internet was accessible (unless I connected to someone’s Wifi). I was surprised that it was so easy.
It's also the case that corporate labs that genuinely did research tended to be a byproduct of companies that were essentially monopolies to some degree in some way. Even if a bit idealized, Bell Labs was certainly like this. (From an old movie. Ma Bell: We don't care we don't have to we're the phone company.)

At least some of the 80s vintage corporate labs like DEC were being increasingly folded into the broader engineering organizations as their parents became less dominant. Essentially corporate research labs are a creature of organizations that have some long-term play money. Or at least that's the idea. I'd note that some of the current work going on in quantum computing has a lineage that dates back to some pretty fundamental research done in corporate labs in the 1960s.

I love this. It beautifully captures the inner conflict of adolescence and the quest for self-discovery. It's easy to forget how hard that time of life can be and how in order to truly understand ourselves, we must explore the boundaries of our beliefs and reconsider once closely held ideals.
