I worked on Merced post-silicon, and McKinley presilicon. I wasn't an architect on the project, I just worked on keeping the power grid alive and thermals under control. It reminded me of working on the 486: the team was small and engaged, even though HP was problematic for parts of it. Pentium Pro was sucking up all the marketing air, so we were kind of left alone to do our own thing since the part wasn't making money yet. This was also during the corporate wide transition to Linux, removing AIX/SunOS/HPUX. I had a Merced in my office but sadly it was running linux in 32-bit compatibility mode, which is where we spent a lot of time fixing bugs because we knew lots of people weren't going to port to IA64 right away, and that ate up a ton of debug resources. The world was still migrating to Windows NT 3.5 and Windows 95, so migrating to 64 bit was way too soon. I don't remember when the linux kernel finally ported to IA64, but it seemed odd to have a platform without an OS (or an OS running in 32-bit mode). We had plenty of emulators, there's no reason why pre-silicon kernel development couldn't have happened faster (which was what HP was supposed to be doing). Kind of a bummer but it was a fun time, before the race to 1 GHz became the next $$$ sink / pissing contest.
I like to say that the best thing you can grow in your backyard from an environmental and financial perspective is an ADU ("granny flat"). At least assuming you live closer than average to a job center.

The second best thing would be herbs (since they cost a fortune at the store and are only available in quantities that will spoil before they're used up).

The third best thing, as the article says, are things that are costly to produce on a farm but grow like well with little maintenance in small spaces (my favorite here in the Salish Seaboard is raspberries).

The fact is that "people miles" are astronomically more costly than "food miles" or almost any other kind of miles. People are impatient, fragile, don't like to be stacked, prefer a relatively limited range of temperatures, and their loved ones usually consider them irreplaceable. Just about any other type of cargo is easier to deal with.

I do see a niche for growing stuff in places where the light, water/humidity, and heating/cooling needed to grow plants is already being produced for humans sharing the space. Basically an amenity that happens to produce food, which in a lot of cases would include the gardens discussed in the article.

Saying "By it's nature, who owned what was ambiguous. There was none or no identifying information." seems reasonable given what was reported.

In an indictment against U.S. Private Vaults, Inc., the U.S. attorney for Los Angeles accused the company of marketing itself deliberately to attract criminals, saying it brazenly promoted itself as a place customers could store valuables with confidence that tax authorities would be hard-pressed to learn their identities or what was stored in their locked boxes. To access the facility, customers needed no identification; it took just an eye and hand scan to unlock the door.

I've seen a similar fender-bender (i own a rivian, so do some neighbors) get quoted at 3-4k.

Honestly, 40k seems more like "we don't want to do this job" than "it really costs this much".

Given the PDR took 3 days to do it, I can understand the perspective of a body shop that doesn't want to do the job - they can probably get done 150k worth of jobs in the same time period.
How are you defining "military"?
mostly i see these mentions in threads about zig, odin and vale langs (might be others, don't watch that closely), where people look at C, C++, golang arena and dive into pre 1.0 releases and then speculate about these langs getting marquee apps, funding, industry penetration in e.g. gaming, crypto, ML or trading and staying power.

These conversations are always interesting in these type of US-centric forums: You can really see the "patriotism" that emanates from these conversations: China BAD, US Good and exactly what you mention: Free for me but not for thee.

As someone from a third world country it is like watching two bullies fight each other in the school. Well, both of them spy on me, both of them abuse me (I'm Mexican) and both of them think they are always right. For me, both of them are pretty similar.

Hardline materialism is indeed dying and the presumption that all matter possesses a degree of consciousness currently has two major undercurrents: panpsychism and idealism.

Most scientists that operate under the assumption that consciousness, as we experience it, is an emergent property align toward panpsychism, matter and consciousness somehow being co-primitives in the ontology to kickstart reality. But there are many problems with panpsychism, the first being that it's a dualism, that is it requires two separate magic tricks at bootup. Since physics only knows about matter, panpsychism is not considered a scientific theory, just an interesting philosophy. The later problems with it are leftovers from the formerly popular materialist framework. How does the proto consciousness of matter grow to give us the taste of sugar, or love? Where is that conscious property? How to identify it? Etc.

Now, from an Occam's razor's perspective, I think the less popular idealism (consciousness is the primitive, then it boots up matter) is actually the most parsimonious. It's the least intuitive at first, but when you take the time to listen to arguments from a scientific and analytical philosophy standpoint (e.g Don Hoffman, Bernardo Kastrup), it's the only one that actually makes any kind of sense, while in the process solving most of the numerous problems raised in physics and philosophy (e.g. local realism is false, so where is matter when consciousness doesn't experience it? If the probability that we're in the one real reality 1/N, why would we assume that we are? And many more). It also gives us as a bonus that it manages to reconcile those fields with the nondual intuition from traditions that document accounts of people who have lived with that realization (e.g. Buddhism, Advaita, Taoism, Sufism, Christian mysticism).

It does require a profound conceptual paradigm shift. Way deeper than at first glance we realize is necessary. So I generally just recommend that people dive into it by reading or listening to discussions by the people that I've mentioned, rather than knee-jerk responding.
Banks aren’t particularly good at what they do with property. Thee was a story a few years ago about how Bank of America lost millions in cash to shrink in poorly run counting rooms and armored car operations. They hid it for years by moving cash around from branch to branch ahead of the auditors.

This is a great take.

In my limited experience, you have a real problem if the dev team hijacks what will be done and how it will be done. There is a good chance your product is going to be over-engineered, difficult to steer and all the minor but important details will never get done/corrected because hey, lets build another mammoth worthless (in business terms) functionality.

> "A lot of men are lonely because they lack the ability to put emotions into words, which makes it hard for them to form relationships," Levant says. "The inability to put their emotions into words leads to failures in relationships, leads to loneliness, leads to their seeking out these experiences."

I'm glad men are seeking this stuff out, and it's a lot more thought out than it was a decade ago. However, this lens quoted above views men as an inferior form of woman and it's too patronizing to engage.

What's missing are meaningful rites of passage. Degrees don't do it anymore because the people who get and confer them aren't peers. I sympathize because there is almost nothing men have traditionally done to distinguish themselves where today there isn't a woman calling herself a girl imitating it with a film crew for instagram, and the underlying message is, "this does not distinguish or provide dignity for you anymore because a girl can do it." There are no honest signals of capability. With the diluting of sports and other pursuits, as men our options are reduced to muscle and money, with some credentials that might secure us an institutional job as a distant third. You need at least one, two and you're laughing, all three and you're into mythical territory.

We're a tournament species, and men need a way to sort ourselves. The men in this article are looking for a way to distinguish themselves among peers.

This is technically true but the Chinese viewpoint on this topic is net-gratitude for CCP taking control of their country back from foreign powers, particularly Japan, which murdered, tortured, and raped millions of people for years leading up to and during world war 2. Unlike Germany, Japan continues to largely pretend this never happened and has refused to publicly acknowledge or atone for it which perpetuates the political conflict there. This is something that is well understood in Chinese society and I think was personally fascinated that people were able to overlook the flaws and grave shortcomings of early CCP rule.
> America is doing just fine.

Compared to what? China is building thousands of kilometers of high speed rail seemingly every year. They’re expanding their power through trade agreements rather than military force. They can manufacture whatever they want.

From where I am sitting it looks like China keeps growing while the US declines. Our economy is so broken people can’t afford rent, school and medical debt are skyrocketing, our planes keep falling apart, we have the highest prison population ever, mass shootings keep happening, and more and more Americans are living in cars.

I think it only looks fine to us because we’re too xenophobic to look outside our borders and see how different things could be.
So it's not a problem until it's impossible to run any business at all without relying on "those 3" (for any value of "those 3")?
This is contemptible. I use patreon to support artists and creators. I know those people don't care about my viewing history. Patreon is now the parasitic middleman and should be burned off accordingly.
Good thoughts -- yeah, this is a tough one to parse, and I don't have all the answers.

> Additionally: what motivations does one have to ride a unicycle instead of a bicycle? I can only think of reduced storage space being a practical benefit.

For me, it was more fun than walking, and was good balance practice. It was faster than walking, and unicycles are smaller than bikes. Additionally, I juggle, so this was a nice thing to practice to put into my act.
Chase gave me a stack of ¥2000 notes when I pre-obtained some cash in the States before a trip. That caused some confusion when I got there and tried to buy a suica card. And I didn't even realize what was going on until a local coworker was surprised at me having them.
Double standards are practically a necessity to maintain bigotry. I’d be more surprised to find prejudice that lacks that kind of hypocrisy.

I feel like at least the 500 yen coin update is well timed with the cashless boom, and more and more vending machines are accepting touch payments. Though I feel like this sort of change is not going to really bubble down much to vending machines out in the sticks.

Though as a whole the cost of handling cash is being pushed to users more and more. Coin deposits cost money now, train tickets cost a bit more...
Three body problem, reference,yeh
As a native Sacramentan and boater, you can definitely get from the Sierra to the bay. Would you take your boat out to get around dams? (Lake Natoma dam, Folsom’s dam, etc). If you wanted and could do that, you positively could do the ride. The American is fed by snow melt from the top of the sierra and plenty of water in the spring to ride it down. Once you reach the delta the current would help you less so you better have some good oars. Also be ready to navigate some serious rapids in some spots on the American. Nothing that a little kayaking class wouldn’t prepare you for.

They used to have a few large riverboats that used to bring people from Sacramento to the bay. One called the Delta Queen and the other called the Delta King. Three presidents even rode on them including Herbert Hoover, Harry Truman, and Jimmy Carter. They permanently affixed the Delta King on the docks in Old Sacramento where you can still eat at a restaurant or stay in an onboard hotel.

All that to say, plenty of boats in and around the Central Valley.

> Past the stage of senior software engineer there’s no real credit for the code anymore. It becomes the baseline. The strategy impact, the coordination, and the understanding and contributing to the team, company and customer success is part of your responsibility.

This is an underestimation of the potential of software systems. Of course it depends on the software application, but in many cases there is a lot of value lost when organizations implicitly create a technical ceiling for their engineers, and push their focus away from the theory and practice of engineering.

Saying that there is more value for an engineer to coordinate, plan, and present, is almost like saying that there is a point in which software systems can no longer be innovated or improved, or that there is nothing about software that requires more than 5 years of experience (or whatever the senior level would be). This is a sure way to build naive systems that brake all the time, when instead it could implement more sophisticated solutions. Of course this would mean that engineers would have a harder time communicating their solutions, but once again, it would be limiting software just because the managers want full control and visibility at every step of the way.

We're now talking about the possibility of AGI, yet it seems every software org still goes through the same problems, with the same type of bugs, pipeline problems, etc. This is definitely not because software can't solve the problems, so it must be that the solutions are too hard to implement, and so the question is why is that hard?
"We first estimate the supply-side value by calculating the cost to recreate the most widely used OSS once. We then calculate the demand side value based on a replacement value for each firm that uses the software and would need to build it internally if OSS did not exist. We estimate the supply-side value of widely-used OSS is $4.15 billion, but that the demand-side value is much larger at $8.8 trillion."

I hope someone would listen.
Very much this - I regularly find that asking "what problem are we solving?" allows me to work with the stakeholder in question to find a better solution than what I was initially asked to build. It's fine to take a stab at a solution but it's also a good idea to remember that you hire experts for a reason.
It's likely that the default queue limits for HTB on Linux are a lot more reasonable that the crazy bloat some cable and DSL modems have shipped with.

and that would be the point. Any single piece of evidence, particularly something with a noticable error rate, should not be enough to convict someone. It might be enough to investigate someone, but there should be corroborating evidence.
Yeah, I definitely think people cross shop them. I've seen former R1T owners that would consider a Lightning.

The F-150 in general is a little complicated on this scale. They are absolutely commonplace (the #1 selling vehicle in the US!) and the base model for the gas version is "only" ~$34k. But the price range is immense, and it isn't particularly uncommon to see >$60k King Ranch versions either. Higher price trims are available too, but tbh, I don't see them as often. Maybe occasionally a Raptor (~76k).
That's a really good idea! I could also see one being mounted under the front of the seat being a convenient place to reach -- but maybe just a handheld bell (maybe one that strapped to ones' fingers?) would be best.
China has a long and well-documented history of IP theft. So the doubt is legitimate.

And they have to contribute to Linux and other open source projects in order to have an Android-compatible operating system. At some point you need to either fix bugs or add features to support your own hardware. But this shouldn't be seen as altruism.
If you were to give take a broad guess at the cost of moving around like that, in terms of maintaining supplies and securing a place to stay when you’re not in the mood to move with the current, what would that come out to, say monthly?
Yes, the improvements for float32 aren't very dramatic, but it can be 3x NumPy/SciPy: https://ashvardanian.com/posts/simsimd-faster-scipy/

EU regulates interchange fees. We can make an active choice to offer this stuff at cost (especially with stuff like PINs reducing fraud)

We can decide to just not allow the cut to be so high. It's possible to set a limit. Visa makes a bunch of money because they don't need 3% to cover infra + fraud.
It sounds like this isn't the cost of service, but the residual cost of buying defaulted debts. The hospitals and insurers have already written off the service as a loss and are trying to recoup anything they can by selling the debts for pennies on the dollar.

Unfortunately, that means that your payments are shouldering the burden of someone else's inability to pay the ludicrous cost of healthcare.

We can fix this by

1. Refusing care without payment at the time of service, which isn't possible, or even moral, in many cases.

2. Nationalizing healthcare and directly supporting healthcare with taxes so that payment is guaranteed to the service providers.

This is pretty cool - sort of a lightweight QGIS in the browser, with the ability to create and share maps.

So far the functionality looks kind of wide but thin. Lots of features but each one isn't fully cooked yet. For instance, you can create comment threads, but you can't resolve them - just delete them.

Various functions are also a bit buggy or clunky. I tried some vector operations on built in datasets, and they were just greyed out with no explanation.

Is there an API? Who knows. Hopefully there will be.

Overall, impressively easy to use.

I also hope they add map data authoring features to it.

The front landing page needs to do a better job of selling what it does, particularly the range of vector and raster analysis features, which is pretty impressive.
