I don't think grid access fees should be equal personally. Why does someone in a condo in San Jose pay the same as someone in a remote Sierra foothill community (ex. Omo Ranch) with extremely high fire danger which is leading to enormous utility costs. Many of those people might be able to be off-grid if there was incentive (ie. high costs of grid access). You find more off grid homes in Alaska where connection is simply not feasible due to remoteness.

These layoffs are 1900 people out of 22,000 people in the gaming division, or 9% of the group. It's sad for the people involved, but this seems pretty standard, honestly, after a big acquisition. The combination of "people whose jobs are redundant after the acquisition" and "underperformers who Blizzard hadn't fired because management was distracted by the acquisition" could account for the whole 9%.

The sorts of airlines that run or ran A380s are not the sorts of airlines that buy used aircraft.

If you have a used aircraft to sell, large or small, there's basically four places to sell it. First, someone told you "Hey if you ever want to sell that thing, let me know." Second, you post it on the bulletin board at your local airport. Third, you post it to controller.com. Fourth, you hire a broker who runs his contacts and also posts it to controller.com. The market isn't that large.

The A380 isn't a practical aircraft. Few airports can handle that beast. I mean, if I had all the money in the world, I would buy something much more practical, like an ACJ350.
Exactly my take, I see no moat here. If there were a way to short the vector DB startup phenomenon and I had the resources I would do it.

For some reason, when the 380 was announced I mused about what it would be like as a private jet (in the end decided not to order one :-)). There are quite a few people who could afford to, and it would be quite the party plane.

But actually perhaps not. There aren’t actually that many airports where you could land or take off and with terminals that could deplane you (and you’d have to mix with hoi polloi in the process). No flying to Capri. And they are so huge that unless you travel with a seriously enormous entourage, it would always feel lonely and empty.

And as Bezos recently discovered if you really do buy the biggest yacht the same applies. In his case, when he arrives he has to park with the cargo ships.
I installed the update on my Pixel 7 but I haven't experienced the issues described in the article.

However, I am back to having to re-pair my Garmin Venu 2 Plus watch every day after some Pixel update a few months ago.

It was broken in early 2023, then they fixed it, then broke it again :( https://www.reddit.com/r/GarminWatches/comments/12hpk0c/venu...

I can't help but think they do it deliberately, in order to drive folks to the Pixel watch.
Also have FSD, driving it since 2021 as part of the first big wave pushed to general users. I see V12 as make or break for FSD. It's not worth $12k or $200 a month today.

My problem with FSD today is the robotic nature of the driving. It's still too jerky. If V12 with end-to-end use of neural nets is the way forward, and early reports seem to show a step change, FSD on city streets can something that's better and safer than driving manually while feeling human like. Then FSD is really useful. The NHTSA enforced stop sign rules are a killer however.

Maybe you've only worked with average to good devs who communicate well, like I do now, but I guarantee that in our field, we have people who can at the same time be bad to average AND bad communicators (or worse, toxic liars).

Luckily, now our worse communicator is also our most competent dev, but I've been in teams where learning basic git would be a month long challenge for half the people, and for half of those (two people, really, we were 9) communicating their difficulties, or worse, their mistakes was impossible.
Does she consistently beat the market? The article doesn't allege that.
Actually, A380 consumes no less than 15000kg/h or Jet A1 fuel. The cost of this kerosene is much cheaper than standard gasoline, about 0.6EUR/kg in EU. This results in roughly 9000EUR/h. Fully loaded (and depending on other exceptional circumstances) this can go up to 13000EUR/h. (I have this insight from a retired pilot instructor)

You need to have trained pilots to operate this. Investing in a simulator is a good idea, but you really need to give all your pilots at least an hour per month in this of flying time (the FAA might allow less but do you really want inexperienced pilots in control when you are on?), that is probably paid time since keeping certification. Note that is per pilot, This is often used for long flights where you need to switch pilots and let some sleep, plus you want pilots for when one is sick or on vacation. Figure you are paying 6 pilots to fly this thing - you can maybe find some willing to do this part time (still a good income for a pilot). You also need mechanics, since this is a rare airplane you cannot hope to contract with someone else when you need it (you can contract with someone else perhaps, but it needs to be a long term contract so they keep their mechanics trained)
This is super interesting. Do you have a source for this? I don’t doubt it, but I had never thought of it and it doesn’t surprise me that it is a misleading figure to begin with.

This graph (and "net load" generally) includes the subtraction of both behind and in front of the meter solar, as well as wind. Doesn't really affect the point though.

Worth noting that this graph represents the single worst/best day of the year, when demand was lowest and supply highest.

The trend over years is obvious but sadly we're not as close to carbon free power in California as this would suggest if you assumed it was an average day.

jamiedumont let out a rambonctious laugh to himself.

jamiedumont was talking to himself again.

hackerbod slowly leaned over and squinted at the screen.

- Yeah! It’s a typesetting markup language. It’s supposed to be better than things like latex.

- Ok. What’s so funny about it?

- Oh hehe, it’s written in—guess what?

- I dunno?

- Rust!

jamiedumont started giggling but hackerbod remained neutrally unamused.

- Oh come on! Rewrite in Rust? Language zealots? Young adults who can’t program without some Ruby syntax sprinkled in?

- So this “typt” thing—

- Typst.

- Right, Typst, this typesetting thing was created to promote Rust in some way?

- Oh I don’t think so.

- It doesn’t mention Rust on the homepage or something? You know, Written in Rust?

- Nope. Not to my recollection.

- So is it a rewrite of something else in—

- Nope.

- So then what does that have to do with—

- Ah, but you’re missing the bigger picture, hackerbod.

- Ok.

- Year after year of this eye-rolling promotion and nagging, blah blah blah memory unsafety is bad, blah blah this is why we used angle brackets for generics, and these sly bastards went and pulled off the most epic Trojan Horse that I’ve ever seen been—

- And what’s that?

- They made an actually useful language!

hackerbod had to scoot back as jamiedumont fell off his swivel chair because he was laughing so hard. hackerbod scratched his head.

jamiedumont finally recovered from the ab-induced euphoria.

- Ah hackerbod, I hate to admit it but they got me good! Those cursed language zealots got one over on me!

There is no such thing as EB visas.

While your greencard is processed you can indefinitely renew your current visa (eg HB1 you get it for 3 years and can renew only once, with application pending you can keep renewing it).

Also, Green Card has different stages with their own limitations PERM -> I140 -> I485 -> green card.

This is good. I always wonder how my dog sees me and perceives our home. I noticed something really weird about sounds lately.

We moved into a new apartment just last week. On the second day, we left her alone (we had to, for an hour). To monitor her, we left a Macbook on the table, with the camera and microphone turned on, so we could watch her from our phone.

Every 10 or 15 minutes, we heard a very loud bang through the mic, and our dog got super scared - like a door closing super fast and loud. I went to the apartment to check my dog (my phone still connected to the Macbook), and while I was there, I heard the loud bang two times through the phone, but not in person. So definitely there are big sounds captured by a Macbook and my dog, but not by human ears. It was a weird sensation.
Not a dad but a few sets of pushups and air squats throughout the day. Pulling requires gear of some kind so 1 set of pullups on a bar when home. Most can squeeze 1 minute of time for a set of body weight work here and there. Long walks for cardio but that takes time unfortunately.
There are a lot of different sorts of airports in the US. You might not be able to land an unmaintained plane at SFO, but you can fly it from your private airstrip in the Nevada desert to your heart's content.

In the US, the FAA as minimal-to-no restrictions on the sorts of things you're allowed to use to lift yourself into the air, provided you take steps to make sure no one other than you is harmed by your decisions.

> Commissioners are nominated by member states in consultation with the commission president, who then selects a team of commissioners.

let's break this down into levels of appointments

how are commissioners selected?

> with the commission president, who then selects a team of commissioners.

ok, so that's one level of appointment (TOTAL: 1)

how is the commission president selected?

they're appointed, by the council (TOTAL: 2)

how are the council members selected? (obviously e.g. the land mass "Germany" can't vote for itself)

who has the council vote? the German Chancellor

how is the German Chancellor selected?

they're appointed by the German Parliament (TOTAL: 3)

who select members of the German Parliament? the German people, so they are directly elected

so that's three levels, matching what I originally said:

> so EU commissioners are "appointed by someone (commission president) who is appointed by someone (head of government) who is appointed by someone (parliament) who is elected"

the statement is accurate

the fact bits of this are rubber stamped by the EU parliament is beside the point, the spitzenkandidat idea was completely killed off in 2019

Sure, I think the matter of contention here is whether buying your own book is deceptive (as a mandatory element of fraud). So if the body publishing those figures of sales hasn't reached an agreement with you that you'll refrain from that behavior then I don't see a way for it to be deceptive and so not fraudulent.

When solar is abundant, homes should be pre-cooling as low as any occupants can tolerate. Example: 85 degree day, homeowner is at the office, cool the home to 64 degrees when the sun is shining, so that there's less cooling necessary when the owner walks back into the home at 5:30.
The income based fees aren't the utility's idea (although maybe the specific amounts are?).

For the Map Reduce specifically the one of the big issues was the speed at which you could read data from a HDD and transfer across the network. The MapReduce paper benchmarks were done with computers with 160 GB HDDs (so 3x smaller than typical NVMe SSD today) which had sequential read of maybe 40MB/s (100x smaller than a NVMe Drive today!) and random reads of <1MB/s (also very much smaller than a NVMe Drive today).

On the other hand they had 2GHz Xeon CPUs!

Table 1 in the paper suggests that average read throughput per worker for typical jobs was around 1MB/s.

Batteries, hydro, and natural gas (peaker plants) all help directly. Wind isn't really "dispatchable" in the sense that the grid operator can't ask for more wind.

I don't believe nuclear power ramps up very easily, and in any case it has to run as much as possible to pay for high capital costs. Power that's going to be on standby much of the time needs to be cheap to build.

Anything that usually generates power in the evening will help some, though.

Also, the grid operator being able to schedule demand helps too. Things like water heaters and air conditioning can be run in advance and turned off at peak times.
It's not the "apple way".

Not an expert, but the biggest downside from renewables seems to be the swings in production. Solar is obviously not useful at night. Wind comes and goes.

Batteries and other forms of energy storage to normalize distribution are more important for renewables than fossil fuels.
