I've been firmly of the opinion that after a transition period the pricing structure is going to inverted and contain seasonal and episodic events. Long term I don't think this is a problem. Because customers will appear to utilize cheap/zero cost power. I also think a lot of 'baseload' customers are just chasing lowest cost. Those guys will happily shift their demand.

And we're no longer looking at what you could believe 20 years ago, a world where energy costs on average 4-5 times more than it does today. Actually looks like energy will cost less. We definitely have issues around transition, utilities don't want to get caught out and go bankrupt.
Please put some more effort into researching your talking points.

It’s sporadic. I’ve not noticed any issues, my VP however did.

As did my wife at a totally separate company.
It's under-remarked on, but for a majority of Israeli Jewish people, the nakba era might have more immediate salience than the Holocaust. That's because they're not, as the popular imagination has it, all colonists from Europe; they're the Jewish people of the Middle East and North Africa, all of whom were forcefully expelled from their own homes after 1948.

There's no question that the Holocaust has enormous salience to Israeli Jewish people. But if you trace your roots to rural Arab Jewish families from Yemen or Iraq, your more immediate concern would be your own family's immediate viability in a world without Israel. A new rise of European fascism wouldn't be your problem; the fact that you'd have literally no place to go would be. You're sure as shit not moving back to Yemen.
>Is it actually a key difference?

Because another commenter[0] also wondered the same thing, I will answer "Yes" and "No" because it depends on what type of discussion is happening.

- If it's a "big picture" discussion about freedom from Apple's App Store and avoiding their commissions, then the answer is "no difference" because the overall desirable outcome that developers wanted didn't happen.

- If it's a specific discussion about Tim Sweeney & Ashley Gullen's tweet equating the Unity "disastrous" fees with Apple's new optional EU TOS, then the answer is "yes there is a key difference"

In response to TS & AS tweet, Unity's new fee rollout was a public relations disaster because (1) it was retroactive (2) had no option to stay with existing license to avoid the fee. Developers felt "betrayed" by the change and Unity eventually backtracked the changes. Apple will not suffer the same embarrassment that Unity did because devs can just continue "business as usual" by staying with Apple's old TOS (even while EU and Apple continue to fight it out in courts.)

This seems similar to how wireless APs handle queues when devices are placed into 'power-saving' mode; and also the ability to fill the queue-stack with bogus frames
I do not want more automated law enforcement by surveillance. On balance, I think that would be a fix worse than the problem, even if the problem is this bad. These things creep.
My application for EB2-NIW was recently denied for totally inappropriate reasons. The process has a randomness component to it, what you can do is to maximize your chance of success but it’s still a chance.
Sometimes I'd have GPT tell me to how to do something when it could have done it for me.

For example it might tell me to read some documentation and find the answer myself. So I'm thinking "Yes well, what do I need you for then?"
>Instead they are asking to stop the genocidal acts.

No, they have ordered Israel not to commit genocidal acts. The court has made no ruling on whether Israel has or has not committed genocidal acts.
Here we run into the difficulties of the current media environment. With the Ukraine war, everyone and his dog is offering their tactical and strategic analysis. Here, not so much - just moral statements and talking points. So, while it doesn't seem plausible to me that Hamas would be able to repeat its attack again and again - it managed to create such a large attack because the IDF (or its political masters) f*cked up - I don't really have the analysis to back that up. What actually were Israel's military options? What could Hamas plausibly do under various scenarios?

I don't think the attack could be repeated as successfully even if Israel withdrew. And Israel clearly had justification doing something - but without an analysis of their options, it's hard to know what's justified - which is the heart of this case.

I agree that Israel's options are limited - in the absence of outside assistance. In fact, I don't see how Israel can solve the situation in the absence of a neutral outside security force. Here's why:

For a peaceful settlement, both populations need to be given hope.

- Israelis need hope of long term safety and security

- Palestinians need hope of self-determination and civil rights.

No deployment of Israeli forces satisfies both conditions. If Israel occupies Gaza, they deny the Palestinian hope. If they withdraw, they give up their own (which they won't do). Even if Hamas is destroyed, the PA is too weak to guarantee security for either Palestinians or Israelis, and Israel won't trust them enough to allow them to grow strong. Ergo, a neutral force is needed. But, that would require US co-operation, if not actual US forces, and I don't think Biden will risk it in an election year.
You can try to help people change their mind. Daryl Davis is a black man who got quite a few people to leave the KKK by talking to them and showing his humanity. The idea you can't help people along is ridiculous.
I find it hard to believe there’s correlation between the beginnings of Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas and who the US president is.

If anything, Russia and Hamas are each less likely to spark each conflict (in the specific sense of invading Ukraine and 7 October, not the preconditions) knowing that the US is more likely to provide arms to Ukraine and Israel.
In CA, the rules are now the same for cellphones and dedicated GPS units. The only exception is for "manufacturer-installed systems that are embedded in the vehicle". Taken literally, this means that if you have an aftermarket CarPlay-compatible head unit, it's illegal to touch it at all, other than to turn it on or off. [1]

It appears that new drivers are also forbidden from even looking at dash-mounted devices while driving. I get that they might be more easily distracted, and unable to give voice prompts while driving, but they presumably also need more help navigating, with advance lane change warnings, etc. Basically, these laws have not been especially well-calibrated, which is not surprising given that this is true for pretty much all laws regarding new technologies.

In the example screenshot, the assistant takes this input:

and writes this output:

The input is concise and to the point, the latter is infuriatingly verbose and formulaic. But I guess it'll be easy to filter out humans I would actually be willing to communicate with.

Take 25% of the money spend on EV batteries and instead spend it on domestic solar panels. I cannot stand the smugness of people who will pay $$,$$$ for a car but won't spend $,$$$ on the thing to make power for that car. Even batteries. The net carbon saved by in-home battery+solar is far more than putting batteries in the family car. The car runs a few hours a day. A total off-grid solar+batteries domestic system saves carbon 27/7.

In other words, (Honda civic IC + home solar/batteries) saves more carbon than a Tesla with no actual power generation capacity. But that just isn't fashionable.
The US has a military with deep intelligence ties. They would stop Israel from using nuclear weapons even if that meant invading Israel and taking out all of the leaders. There's no way the US would allow Israel to use a nuclear weapon.
I'm not saying that there are no non-physical things. I am saying that certain philosophers are making seemingly tendentious arguments for declaring that consciousness is not a physical phenomenon. Once they get around to saying with sufficient specificity what they have in mind, then we will be able to see whether those claims are justified.

I’ve had this same thought for creating better chunking. There needs to be some sort of measuring component.
Have any F-35s been lost to lightning? Maybe the military is more flexible for lighting strike resistance because of their rarity/flight hours/operating envelopes/number of souls on board? Is there any irony that its called the "F-35 Lightning II?"

The feature described does not give personal information. It would give information which is highly relevant during an official investigation in a privacy-preserving manner which does not open the possibility of giving other unintended information.

Now, it would be possible to use the same mechanism they use for digital drivers licenses to further restrict it but the nice thing about that idea is that not using sensitive information means there isn’t much concern of a leak.
Well... you don't know that until you go to the trouble of installing different software which can be a significant time investment if you haven't done it before.

Also, I tinker with many of my devices but it would be perfectly valid if the pinephone I purchased I wanted to just work out of the box, at least to the extent where the first screen doesn't lag on keyboard input.

That's a huge sign of immaturity at least in the QA process (if one even exists).j

Mind you, I really want things like Pinephone to work and be a viable alternative to the general ad/spyware infested crap on the market.

For a real statically-linked linux system, the main issue is GPU support: you must relink all apps _really using_ a GPU, that to include the required GPU drivers.

With sound, alsa, it is fine since there is IPC/shared-memory based mixing that whatever the playback/capture devices [dmix/dsnoop]. Static linking is reasonable. (pulseaudio[012] IPC interfaces are bloaty kludges, hardly stable in time, 0..1..2.., not to be trusted compared to the hardcore stability of alsa one able to do a beyond good enough job *and* _real_ in-process low latency hardware access at the same time).

x11 and wayland are IPC based, then no issue here neither.

But for the GPU, we would need a wayland vulkan3D-inspired set of IPC/shared-memory interfaces (with a 3D enabled wayland compositor). For compute, the interfaces would be de-coupled from the wayland compositor (shared dma-buffers).

The good part of this would be to free our system interfaces from the ultra complex ELF (one could choose an excrutiatingly simple executable file format, aka a modern executable file format, but will need compilers/linkers support to help legacy support).

There is a middle ground though: everything statically linked, except the apps requiring the GPU driver (for that ELF is grotesquely overkill), still provided as a shared library.
Oh I am using Double Commander myself.
Considering that the Google bribe to Apple for search is $18B, I can't see the App Store profit margin being 80%. That would imply that Apple makes zero margin on all hardware and other services.
I assume even though it became illegal for people to hold gold, that the dollars held by foreign countries were still convertible to gold and thus the standard still worked to a degree. I'm sure things may have changed in WW2, but that's a special case.

Seeing how they literally took hostages, in addition to targeting and killing civilians, I'm honestly not sure how you can argue it wasn't a terrorist attack.
> PDF is self-contained, and can be read (mostly) reliably on almost any device with the right software

Article: "A PDF is a single file that contains all the images, fonts, and other data needed to render it."

This is only true if you are using PDF/A, or have explicitly bundled all of your fonts in some version of the PDF standard.

Otherwise, 14 total typefaces must be rendered by the viewer. These 14 are: Times (in regular, italic, bold, and bold italic), Courier (in regular, oblique, bold and bold oblique), Helvetica (in regular, oblique, bold and bold oblique), Symbol, and Zapf Dingbats.

The 14 standard typefaces can vary between viewers:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF#Text

"...the base fourteen fonts... or suitable substitute fonts with the same metrics, should be available in most PDF readers, but they are not guaranteed to be available in the reader, and may only display correctly if the system has them installed."

Depending upon what the viewer bundles, PDFs using these 14 might not render as expected.

Below is a deeper discussion from the wiki:

What you think people don’t get addicted to things like gambling because there is no substance involved? You are standing against a tsunami wave of scientific evidence with this line you’ve arbitrarily drawn.
I disliked iOS for specifically being absurd about photos. They are not considered "files" and therefore cannot be synced by Mobius / Syncthing. I don't want to go through the hassle of hosting Nextcloud to get photos from my phone to my laptop when both are located on the same network.

(Not really relevant anymore since I don't own any Apple devices)
I think the main difference is that it’s multilingual
A smartphone minus the cellular modem is just a PDA. Or rather, the modern smartphone could be viewed as the fusion of the PDA form factor and a cellular phone; this can be more clearly be seen in early smartphones like the Treo 650. Before then, it was common to have both as separate devices, and use Bluetooth (or even IRDA!) to connect both so that the PDA could use the cellular phone as a modem.

Unfortunately, like the current "smart TV" situation, it's going to be hard to find a PDA-like device without a built-in modem, since most people do want the built-in modem. There are tablets, but even them seem to be gaining built-in modems nowadays.
>For any digital crowdsourced dictionary to be useful and viable

I'm pro open licenses, but you're overstating things. The sheer usefulness and viability of Urban Dictionary attests to the fact that most people don't actually care about licenses.
I guess you log queries to see what is popular and then reprocess texts based on those?
I like the spirit and target of the article but some of this is pretty off.

For one it's insanely US-centric. Granted I'm sure the original website was, too, but some of the explanations don't hold when you pan out a bit.

Example:

The “relentless 50 year decline in wages” should be labelled the “relentless 50 year increase in healthcare costs”.

Doesn't explain why the same incomes decline happened in the rest of the G7. Our insurance rates didn't go up as % of compensation or of corporate profitability. They did go up as a % of government spending, but that's in a different ledger.

You can write a program that has the capability to run isolated WASM modules written by others, without caring about the source language. Export some functions from your host program and you have a neat system for, say, user-written extensions.
> is the security issue of a Palestinian population that has held since 1948 that they are still at war with Israel, will never accept a Jewish state in the region

Will Israelis accept a sovereign Palestinian state in the region? A clear NO.

Even the 1990s / 2000s two-state solutions were never meant from Israeli side as recognizing full sovereignty of Palestine - it was meant to be more like an Israeli protectorate with its own administration but without its own armed forces, no control over air space etc.

> and will one day drive the Jews into the sea

While many Israelis are eager to drive Palestinians to the sea. (check Daniela Weiss as a somewhat prominent example)

The current government seems to want to ethnically cleanse Gaza. The West Bank has to expect a similar fate, just way slower with expanding settlements.

> but I think it's difficult to claim that the current system is primarily an ethnic or racial one when it doesn't apply to the millions of Palestinians who are accepting of their neighbors

Still apartheid. You can't explain it away so easily.

I was thinking about whether you could also render deforming geometry that way. My guess was it would integrate better into the scene visually, but my intuition there isn't well informed yet.
You can be assured that Apple internally knows the margins on everything they make as well as Services. I think that there's several reasons they don't disclose discrete sales figures and profit margins. This would give competitors a good idea of where to attack Apple.
Building a More Resilient Navy: The value of variety in Navy production
I don't disagree with that either :)

I'm conflicted honestly. I find with dynamic languages it's easier to just spin your wheels and move quickly in the hole you are in.

With typed languages its easy to feel you are making less progress because the feedback loop can be longer, but generally the pieces you build are more likely to work correctly.

For me Haskell and ghci repl gives good properties from both areas, especially with something like Rapid for keeping state over repl reloads.
It is a system with a feedback time of months-years. At these time horizons, you can’t do rapid iterations, and you have to be extremely risk-averse. The system is also indeterministic so not conducive to hacking.
Impact does not follow ability, it is the exact opposite when we are talking about variability.

Total demand for power increases linearly with the number of users.
Percent variability of demand decreases with the number of users and approaches a limit of zero.

If we are talking with sizing power infrastructure, capacity required increases with the number of users, but safety factor required decreases with the number of users.

At the margin, infrastructure cost scales with per capita power usage, not with individual variability. The variability cancels out.
Investigating popularity of Python build back ends over time
There are links to live examples of different compression, and the source code. That's as good as (perhaps even better than) screenshots in this case.
>We've already seen that the feedback loops of training models on model outputs isn't nearly as valuable, and can get wacky fast.

IIRC this is less true with the very largest SOTA models, and that OpenAI is now using synthetic data with success.
I don't think he would qualify as a Marxist, but you might find some of the Structural-demographic theory work interesting, in terms of considering economic factors as a determinant of well being. For example the double spiral[1] of well being and elite overproduction is a pretty compelling chart. It also in a way addresses a lot of the same ground as wtfhappenedin1971 in terms of changes in trend.
