> Should we clear vast swathes of rainforest in the name of the omnipotent power of solar?

Where are rainforests being cleared for solar? You are just making up stuff. 40 million acres in US are used for Ethanol (with subsidies!!) just for a small fraction of the transportation energy.

Solar can go on rooftops on all kinds of buildings, there is at least 10x parking area if not building. They can go on top of lakes and conserve water from evaporation. Vertical panels work perfectly with farming with zero land use. They can go next to highways[1]. They can go on landfills, superfund sites, deserts and so on..

> The only thing you can really quibble about with std::vector is [...]

That's actually not true, though I certainly don't fault you for believing it :-) but there are definitely more things to quibble about around vector if you're serious about performance.
As an example, try writing a can_fit(n) function, which tells you whether the vector can fit n elements without reallocating. Observe the performance difference between (a) a smart manual version, (b) a naive manual version, and (c) the only STL version: https://godbolt.org/z/88sfM1sxW

#include <vector>

template<class T>
struct Vec { T *b, *e, *f; };

template<class T>
bool can_fit_fast(Vec<T> const &v, size_t n) {
return reinterpret_cast<char*>(v.f) - reinterpret_cast<char*>(v.e) >= n * sizeof(T);
}

template<class T>
bool can_fit(Vec<T> const &v, size_t n) {
return v.f - v.e >= n;
}

template<class T>
bool can_fit(std::vector<T> const &v, size_t n) {
return v.capacity() - v.size() >= n;
}

struct S { size_t a[3]; };

template bool can_fit_fast(Vec<S> const &, size_t);
template bool can_fit(Vec<S> const &, size_t);
template bool can_fit(std::vector<S> const &, size_t);
Might be better to say that most companies think they have that kind of isolation, but pentesting, red teaming and incidents then later proof they don't. I have even seen companies routing prod traffic to test systems, it's not uncommon.

The way twitter was used by local governments during emergencies absolutely made it equivalent to one.

Fortunately at least my area has moved away from twitter and towards SMS based notifications for that purpose.

I have seen a considerable degrading of quality on reddit since the blackouts. I use reddit for quality subject discussion in topics ranging from pressure cooking to circuit design but I also use it for general crappy banter and time wasting, and the people who would contribute useful content in the former have decreased in number while the latter have increased making the signal to noise much worse.

It doesn't help that they have started placing content from more obscure subreddits onto people's front pages seemingly randomly, so people wander into places and have no idea what the culture is they are contributing to and add content which is wildly out of place.

To get subject matter discussion which is reasonable I have been wandering back to bespoke forums, which isn't necessarily bad, but they still have a lot of issues. A lot of other content has moved to discord, but I won't get into how I feel about that.
im reminded of an ipad app 10 years ago that did roughly this, creating a magazine like interaction with your twitter, google reader, etc.
> must sometimes be done in the least efficient way possible, as an image or a series of tweets

Try tiktok and instagram, they’re to kids these days what twitter was to us 10 years ago. There’s a huge trend on those platforms of people sharing a single tweet as a 20s video with a face grimacing and pointing at the text as commentary.

Literally 280char of content turned into a 20s full screen selfie video.
Yeah, wondering how the initial test account got compromised. Probably no MFA and password spray via OAuth ROPC flow, then lateral movement.

> Pretty much every home owning household is going to pay $10k of taxes, say.

I'm not so sure. According to this [1] the median income of homebuyers in mid 2023 was $107 000, up from $88 000 the year before. I assume the median income of homeowners is less than that of homebuyers, so I'll be conservative and take $107k as the median homeowner income.

As a sanity check, this seems reasonably in line with older data [2].

Let's assume their income is all ordinary income as opposed to capital gains that might be taxed at a lower rate, and assume they are mostly families that file jointly, and assume they have no deductions other than the standard deduction.

The 2023 standard deduction for married filing jointly is $27 700, leaving our median homeowner family with $79 300 taxable income. That puts them in the [$22 000, $89 450) bracket, where the tax is $2 200 + 12% of the amount over $22 000.

That comes to $9 076. That would be median so there should be a lot of people below that.

OpenType can contain vector outlines, hinting instructions to align those outlines to pixel boundaries at low resolutions, and also pre-rendered bitmaps for systems that don't want to run the hinting VM for each glyph. Some tools will let you make an OpenType font with only pre-rendered bitmaps, but I think there's still systems that don't render such a font correctly, and also I don't think you can store multiple sizes of pre-rendered bitmaps, so you still only get one size. The technique used here (turning each source pixel into a vector square) renders just as crisply at the right size, and is more compatible.

Hex: 2001:db8:abcd:efab::1

Decimal: 32.1.13.184.171.205.239.171.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1

Hex looks easier to me. Plus it has the upside of splitting well on /64, /60, /56, /48, /32 which are the common cidr splits in IPv6.

Can you split the decimal on a /56 in your head? I always have to use a cidr calculator for IPv4 (/27, /28, /22) but never with IPv6.
Yeah, that's the same shape. I believe it's the proper name, and I've tried searching for it in the past. It seems somewhat rare in the western US under either name.

The place that I originally got it from was a tiny market at 24th and Valencia in SF. I think they just happened into it via some distributor and ran out after I slowly bought all of it.

While I've kept an eye out, but I haven't put a lot of effort into finding it. I did see it once at pike place market in a bin of mixed pasta, but they said they didn't have that shape by itself.

Although, I'm surprised how often I'm seeing the key comments I was searching for deleted. I haven't been keeping stats, but maybe around half the time.

Some Reddit metrics might've hardly noticed the blips, but if they had metrics for early-Reddit qualities, such as for smart (or clever) comments, helpful information, humor, or goodwill... I suspect those would be bad. Where they're not bad might be non-frontpage subs that are still cruising along with their earlier communities. But those communities started in earlier Reddit, and I suspect that today would not have started there.
What a pity. I used their API to bridge my Twitter posts to my Slack instance.

It does not take 100Mhz to do that.

A while back I bought a FastChip for my Apple 2e. That delivers a 16Mhz 65C02 or 65C816 (I bought the latter option)

The trick to getting superfast Applesoft is to copy it into the card fast RAM. Otherwise, Applesoft is still faster than stock, but main board RAM is still clocked at 1Mhz. Not enough of a boost to really matter.

However, once Applesoft is on the card, the situation is reversed! All accesses to main board RAM are 1Mhz, but that is plenty fast to draw a ton of graphics. Applesoft programs run crazy fast when the 16Mhz 6502 has the job.
> I don't see the problem.

It's (more) evidence of the (increasing?) extent of the ecological impact of humanity and human societies. We (humans) have proved over and over again that we have a very poor ability to understand the greater consequences of any changes, human-induced or not, to the natural environment. So the fact that we are having an unforeseen impact on the environment should be cause for concern, if not alarm.

That's not to say that when we make deliberate changes to the natural environment we have a good track record. See: e.g. cane toads in Australia[0]

Oh yeah, I see it as inevitable. I'm blown away that YouTube is still accessible without an account. It's only a matter of time, though, I'd wager. I never thought Twitter would require an account to view its content.
Sad. Used to browse since it was so nice and easy. Strangely they didn't accept one off donations only monthly. Musk has dismantled left control over Twitter but this is a side effect.

Uninstalled Reddit app it was battery draining plus slow.

We learn to read aloud, and there's usually a long transitional period of subvocalization. And even people who can read silently, if they want to very carefully understand something, often subvocalize it - even moving the lips silently. My conjecture is this process never goes away entirely.

As I understand it, the Kickstart ROM wasn't ready in time for the Amiga 1000's release, so you had to boot off a Kickstart disk which loaded the "permanent" resources into RAM, then swap to the Workbench disk which loaded the GUI. So although Topaz shipped with the Amiga 1000 (on floppy disk), I wasn't comfortable calling it part of the Amiga 1000 the way it was part of the Amiga 500.
Going scorched earth about this stuff for a few years would be a serious deterrent.
We're all sharing the same links, articles, jokes, memes, ideas, cat pictures. What differentiates a place is its sense of community, not its content. It's easy to forget that because Twitter long ago stopped being a community.

> Recently, there has been a growing interest in time modulated metamaterials. [1] These materials exhibit dynamic changes in their properties over time, representing a novel approach to manipulating waves and processing information. This approach goes beyond the constraints imposed by energy conservation and time-reversal symmetry. Time-switched and time-varying metamaterials, as they are also called, enable us to access the momentum and frequency of the waves, leading to a wide array of unique properties, such as time-refraction, [2] time-reversal, [3] nonreciprocal behavior,[4] wave synthesis and frequency conversion, [5,6] and amplification. [7] Time modulated metamaterials have potential for application in communication, security, sensing, and computation just to mention a few, across various wave domains from electromagnetism to acoustics and mechanics.

I've given up explaining things this way, it's too jargon heavy and skips over the fact that most people objecting to this are fundamentally misunderstanding critical details about how their networks operate. I suspect there is a degree of self-awareness regarding this which is why the concern can often be reduced down to: "I'm scared of fucking up my configuration, I have confidence in the levers I'm familiar with, but fear the levers I don't understand, so I hate them"

My hope is that by walking through it with simplified examples, this fear is mitigated.
I shouldn't have to paste this here, but: "If nothing changes, all remaining instances will go down eventually: Instances rely on guest accounts, which are valid for a certain time and of which you need a ton to run a public instance. The API for this got taken down and it doesn't look like a fluke this time."
Twitter was really good for some things. For example, there was a thread yesterday contrasting public data on fertility rates with the latest official data as collected by Twitter users. In short, the UN, Macrotrends and CIA World Factbook are publishing data that is extremely inaccurate. For example, Macrotrends reports that China's TFR was 1.7 in 2023, when the official data says it was 1.09. Accounts like @morebirths and @birthgauge even report estimated fertility based on monthly data so following those accounts is like having a time machine.
Why would that be faster? Those function calls are going to be inlined.

This is key because renewables are a swap of op ex ( buying fuel) to cap ex (capital expenditure on the “power plant). Most people can’t afford that.
I mean if they are in an active combat mission posing a threat to Israeli solders or civilians. But reading more about this case it turns out I was wrong if we take the IDF at their words—which we shouldn’t to:

> “Prior to the strike, the two operated drones, posing an imminent threat to IDF troops.”

If this is true then they were indeed legitimate targets. However if what Al Jazeera says is true, then they were not.

> When asked on Jan 10 by AFP about what kind of drones were used by the two men and the nature of the threat the drones posed to Israeli troops, the army said it was “checking”.

> It said Mr Thuria was identified in a document found by troops in Gaza to be a member of Hamas’ Gaza City Brigade, while Mr Dahdouh was identified as a terrorist belonging to Islamic Jihad.

> The army statement included a copy of a document it said was a list of “operatives from an electronic engineering unit of the Islamic Jihad, including Dahdouh and his military number”.

So we pretty much have Israel says so, which is not good evidence, or any evidence for that matter. However the Al Jazeera story has witnesses:

> He [Mr Thuria] and Mr Dahdouh had been tasked with filming the aftermath of a strike on a house in Rafah, and their car was hit while they were on their way back, AFP correspondents said at the time.

>>Freelancing

While I agree in principle it can often be easier to contract thru an agency. When freelancing I found I wasn't very good at initial sales, marketing, cold calling, etc. Collections also sucked and the lead times ("Net 90") large companies wanted really were onerous for a small independent.

I found working thru agencies handled all that side for me (also, increasingly you can buy group rate insurance thru the agency), while leaving all the benefits!

Oh yes, the big "scare" of it costs more (in terms of carbon) to manufacture. Does it cost zero carbon emissions for fossil fuels? Fossil fuels after all have to be explored, extracted (from 10s of thousands of feet from the bottom of the ocean) , shipped, shipped to refineries, shipped from refineries (40% of global shipping is fossil fuels), methane leaks from all this extraction of coal and oil, flaring. And all this comes free of carbon emissions?

From the article you cited:

Making solar cells requires a lot of energy. Fortunately, because these cells generate electricity, they pay back the original investment of energy; most do so after just two years of operation, and some companies report payback times as short as six months.

Thats ten years back, Solar panels have been continuously advancing since then, quite possibly payback now is a couple of months or less. Perhaps read the source you cited instead of scaremongering?

Sure, in small niche communities that people who care about AI art care about. The broader world - and more importantly schools - has no idea that this is a thing. Our tech jobs put us in a really terrible bubble, and this kind of statement doubles down on the statements reverberating through our echo chamber.

Heck, the sentiment expressed in the original statement has shown up in every single post about AI nudes since they first started getting reported on.

Just yesterday we had some millions of people downloading and viewing Taylor Swift porn. Think they knew it was all generated by AI? Think they cared if they already wanted ammo to use against Taylor Swift?
