>We haven’t switched because electricity (37 qBTU) is only a third (100 qBTU) of our energy production, and we don’t know how to triple the electricity grid.

Sure, because plenty of money went into oil refineries and not electric infrastructure over the last 100 years.

>Of our electricity production, 60% is fossil fuels (coal, gas, or petroleum).

There's plenty of alternatives that big oil has put its foot on. Nuclear and solar are absolutely great alternatives, but we've wasted the last 100 years spending on big oil infrastructure and jobs.

>We have zero clue how to replace our total energy consumption (100 qBTU) with our renewable production (15 qBTU).

We should have a clue. It's like spending all your time playing video games and then suddenly when your 50 looking back at the wasted time when you're getting kicked out of your parents basement.

My point is that it didn't have to be this way.

Desalination increases your environmental footprint because it is ecologically very damaging. It won’t allow you to reduce your impact on the environment.
A modern chip has one of the longest supply chains of any manufactured goods in the world. Even the biggest chip companies get the wafers made in one place, and then send them somewhere else for packaging and bonding.

It's really hard to see what benefit there might be to trying to cram all of this into a shipping container, other than to say you did it.
> In CL/SLIME, you add `(break)` to the code

Having to modify code to add/remove breakpoints is pretty much the definition of jankiness. Can Emacs+SBCL show a list of all breakpoints, for example?

> This is a common complaint about CL, but my experience is that the utility of debuggers is vastly over-stated.

I disagree. A debugger gives you insight into the state of the program. It makes no sense to burn neural cycles trying to track program's state manually when a debugger can visualise it in multiple views and forms. Frankly, during development, I always run my code in a debugger, just to be able to confirm my assumptions on a granular level whenever I want to.

> the “repl-driven development” paradigm of CL

In my experience, trying to substitute a proper debugger with REPL leads to unnecessarily small functions, which then lead to very deep call stacks and undocumented assumptions about pre- and post-conditions of all those tiny functions. However, CL is specially bad about this anyway, since every `let` binding adds a new nesting, making long linear functions unreadable (either due to deep nesting, or due to predeclaring all variable as in ANSI C). Scheme with its `define` is much better in this regard.

I think you're conflating your own phobia up with something more fundamental.

I've certainly never found them even a little bit frightening. I've definitely felt like "someone's home" but it's probably the big eyes bias.
I've tapped to eject the spent puck for many years and it is not a problem. Maybe if you were aggressively whacking it against something much harder than the metal funnel it might become an issue, but against a hand or some soft plastic it's not an issue at all; there's been no change to the seal or shape.
That's what I thought it might have been. Tried there and through Home Assistant. Neither worked.
It's weird that the bottom "buttons" on the unit itself work and light up and the colour indicator works but not the "top" panel (still in the round circle).
Was wondering if I or someone else has hit the wrong button at one point but I think it might just have broken. Not a massive deal can still monitor in app and HA.
It’s missing the Managed NAT Gateway.
Ehhh yes and no.

I still run into a lack of "it just works" and stays that way in JS land. It is likely I have not found the right combination of tools or the right framework but nothing has been as reliable as django and the builtin contribs (auth, admin, sessions).

What would you recommend I look at in JS land knowing I love django and dislike flask?
Yeah, I agree that the writing is on the wall for x86. As you said, power consumption does matter for laptops and server farms.

I'm a huge fan of aarch64, it's a very well designed ISA. I bought a Mac so I could get my hands of a high-preformance aarch64 core. I love the battery life and I'm not going back.

I only really defend x86 because nobody else does, and then people dog pile on it talking it down and misrepresenting what a modern x86 pipeline is.

Though I wouldn't write x86 off yet. I get the impression that Intel are planning to eventually abandon their P core arch (the one with direct lineage all the way back to the original Pentium Pro). They haven't being doing much innovation on it.

Intel's innovation is actually focused on their E core arch, which started as the Intel Atom and wasn't even out-of-order. It's slowly evolved over the years with a continued emphasis on low-power consumption until it's actually pretty completive with the P core arch.

If you compare Golden Cove and Gracemont, the frontend is radically different. Golden Cove has a stupid 6 wide decoder that can deliver 8 uops per cycle... though it's apparently sitting idle 80% of the time (power gated) thanks to the 4K uop cache.

Gracemont doesn't have a uop cache. Instead it uses the space for a much larger instruction cache and two instruction encoders running in parallel, each 3-wide. It's a much more efficient way to get 6-wide instruction decoding bandwidth, I assume they are tagging decode boundaries in the instruction cache.

Gracemont is also stupidly wide. Golden cove only has 12 execution unit ports, Gracemont has 17. It's a bit narrow in other places (only 5 uops per cycle between the front-end and backend) but give it a few more generations and a slight shift in focus and it could easily outperform the P core. Perhaps add a simple loop-stream buffer and upgrade to three or four of those 3-wide decoders running in parallel.

Such a design would have a significantly lower x86 tax. Low enough to save them in the laptop and server farm market? I have no idea. I'm just not writing them off.

I'm no fan of Turnball for many many reasons .. but he was not an idiot about technology and well understood mathematics (for someone not in the field professionally).

As stated above by another commentator he made a smart arse response to a smart arse question, as is intuitively obvious to the meanest intellect, and then clarified that legal steps would be taken to ensure to cooperation of the major invested actors.

The current ceo is cut from the same cloth of generic Wall Street b-school flunkies. What do you expect?

Their pay is often determined based on the performance of the stonk. An easy way to pump their $$$ and meet whatever OKRs are required to satisfy bonuses, is to layoff staff. Use vague excuses (ie, blaming remote work) for poor performance. Rinse and repeat as needed every quarter until they can sustainably compete or until they are 86’d.
it reads like complete corporate garbage but I would assume these are created with

1. a rough organization-level investment prioritization

2. ask the leaders of those organizations to come up with vague mission statements

3. put them together and you get nonsense.

my guess would be the interpreted version is something like "Sundar says this is what we are focusing on"

1. Keeping up with recent AI advancements

2. Making youtube, search, gmail, and drive/docs/calendar better

3. Improving android and related devices

4. Expanding google cloud

5. I have no idea

6. Built a better employee experience

7. Improve devex and reduce operational costs

the only really interesting things I see are

1. AI is at the top

2. monetization is not mentioned

3. efficiency/cost savings are directly mentioned

would be a little concerned if I were a googler. basically AI + existing stuff + reducing costs / operational efficiency

(realizing I made alot of numbered lists here)
All the comments suggesting the end of "Shanzhai" makes me wonder. Where is the next frontier of hacker-entrepreneurs?

The scale of cheap money and "Enterprise Entrepreneurialism" has made it very hard to discern wheat from the chaff, of course.

But I have a strong feeling --and I understand what that word means-- that there is something beyond all the grafts and scams and profiteering in the intersection of Virtual Reality, Crypto-Currencies, Internet of Things, and the availability of the personal computing capacity (ultra-powered smart phones) that is going to change the world, but I can't put my finger on it.
Agreed! But as IPv4 with NAT has an implicit "deny all inbound" firewall rule, in the IPv6 world many routers will default to "deny all inbound" to any "inside" IPv6 addresses. So game servers may benefit from an outside coordination server (so bidirectional traffic can flow) but unsolicited inbound traffic to web servers would still require some configuration at the firewall.

Absolutely in the P2P case it is fantastic. IPv6 effectively guarantees direct connection for WebRTC audio/video, VPNs like Tailscale, etc. However there is still some necessity for video services that can provide a Selective Forwarding Unit, for instance once you get 5+ people in a video chat, you want a server in the middle to mediate and rescale video to manage the experience for all participants. But for sure it is better for everyone for 1-on-1 chats to be able to establish the connection without an intermediary, and that underscores what the Internet is all about.

Preheating the water in a kettle mitigates the temperature concerns and variability mentioned in your first paragraph.

They are already doing this in the EU now (https://www.drive.com.au/news/new-cars-will-stop-drivers-fro...), albeit not with actual speed restriction as far as I know, but just bongs a warning instead.

It mainly relies on the OCR reading speed signs which most new cars have had for a while now, although as anyone who has it will know, it's not that always that great.

I have just this in my car and on one road where I live regularly that has a 60km/h limit my speed limit warning would always read 5km/h past a certain point and it took me a while to realise it was actually picking up a speed sign for 5km/h in a small car park off some way to the side.

It also has trouble with mixed speed limits that I have in my area where both speeds are on the same sign, for example some roads are 80km/h in normal conditions but 60km/h when wet or 70km/h for cars but 40km/h for trucks and buses, usually it defaults to the lower limit.

Luckily my car is a bit older so it just flashes red when you go over what it thinks is the speed limit, but more modern cars that will bong or even restrict speed would be infuriating.

Each of the OKRs are assigned to an exec, they assigned this one to the CFO. So basically the person who's responsible for keeping costs down gets the control over how they treat the employees. You don't have to guess how it goes. All the employees I've talked to have said how Ruthless the cuts have been over the years and how it's really created a lot of employee discontent.
My dream is unattainable, so I gave up on it and just use Apple Notes.

I want a notes app that stores all notes in plain text using a standard folder structure, but also want support for things like images, handwriting, etc without having to manage the plain text linking out to external resources. These two concepts can’t currently coexist, so I pick my battles.
I'm not sure you can call one or the other "better".

Python is more type safe due to run time type checks (less lolwut). Also, less typing. But, you also get the Django ORM which is great for productivity (good for complex but low volume apps).

JS has some great features: async/await, deconstructing objects, nice JIT, same language as in browser. However, it's also very lisp-y, which is a pro and a con :)

I'm an avid user of Rust. What things does D bring to the table that Rust does not? My uninformed guess is:

That's not a very compelling list for my use cases. Perhaps I am missing some killer features of D.
Yes, this is exactly why many baristas will choose a darker or more full-bodied coffee for an espresso type drink vs a lighter roast for something like a pour over.

Darker roast coffees are also much more forgiving in general, since they already have some bitter taste to them in the first place.

It's still a better end product to brew the coffee or espresso well in the first place vs try to mask faults (bitterness, sourness, etc) after the fact.

I think it also has to do with incentives. If your business model is selling ads then you have a balancing act between user and customer satisfaction.

With Kagi as I understand it, the customer is the user since it’s a premium product that isn’t selling ads. There’s really no good reason for them not to just nuke bad actors.
There's a market in smaller militaries for stealth hobbyist-level drones. This type of tech is a game changer for military applications that don't have large budgets. I would imagine you start out R&D for such things with this type of radar.
I think the term has evolved on an arc similar to how the term 'hacker' evolved from the 1960's until now - from curiosity, to derogatory, to underdog, to cultural phenomenon, to a category label that is used and misused as a matter of convenience. Each step the exact meaning and spirit changed. I agree it's not as common in use today, but I hear it mentioned with a wink and a nudge to describe... something in between an attitude and a policy. For example, a few years back I was talking with someone about the policy initiative to promote EV research and development. The term 'shanzhai' was descriptively applied to the desired outcome of the policy and the types of players who would see it through, and the nature of the market strategy. Everyone nodded in understanding, even though it was clear the usage wasn't exactly in line with its original coinage.
My understanding is that one reason for lack of prescription birth control for men is that the side effects of a drug will inevitably outweigh any possible health benefit from avoiding conception, which for a male is of course nil. Birth control is easily justified from a medical perspective for women because pregnancy carries many health risks.

>At some point, yes. They are aren't playing by society's rules (committing three felonies) and should be removed. If you have two felonies, perhaps don't rob trains?

It's been argued[0] that most of us don't commit three felonies in a lifetime, but three felonies a day.

While that may be somewhat hyperbolic, it also points up something important about our society. If I were you, I wouldn't be so excited about sticking "three time losers" in prison for decades. It could be you -- for what you did yesterday.

Hm... according to that draft, TUBA's transition story is dual stack, which is the same as the main transition approach for v6. How come it's sane for TUBA but not sane when v6 does it?
