Yes, but also part of my point, that the above author based on these numbers implied that World is getting more dangerous, but firstly as you mentioned these numbers are meaningless if we don't know the exact demographics of the 100k and secondly for a stable 100k these would be really good numbers.
This is a case of information asymmetry being used as an additional advantage by property managers.

The software cited, RENTMaximizer, offers aggregate price information for property managers with the aim of maximizing prices.

Would a RENTMinimizer product, given away for free to tenants, help? It would show aggregate rents that tenants pay, including minimum ones, with the hope that they can use this information for more confidence when negotiating rents.

Economics is an inherent part of practicality. Being able to provide power to the grid, but not economically, is not any better than not being able to provide power to the grid at all.

Helion and Zap have larger physics barriers, that's true. But the goal isn't to produce a pyrrhic victory and a power plant that "works" but can't compete. The goal is competitive energy out. I contend Helion and Zap are both more likely to reach that actual practical goal than DEMO.

Lovely, clapping is now “fascist”. As ridiculous as it sounds, I can’t even tell if this is satire because I’ve met people who seem to genuinely believe that making an okay sign means I’m KKK or something.

An Unbelievable Demo (2021)
It's a very good language to play with to get a glimpse of "just the computer". It's still an interpreter environment, but it's one that crashes spectacularly because you accidentally swapped your arguments and wrote to address 3.

The most fundamental difference in feel when programming Forth for an application vs C is that you don't have a stack frame. A stack frame is what lets you throw 10 arguments and 20 local variables into a function, because the compiler binds them all to names and you fire away and then it's cleaned up automatically when you're done.

In Forth, you do not want to do that because every stack variable you use, you have to manually bring to the front with stack manipulation words(e.g. SWAP to flip the position of the top-most and second, ROT and -ROT to shuffle the top three). It's
a pretty big deal, and if you let that define your application, you're cooked. You can define temporary buffer or register spaces instead and do some load and store from those to the stack to get through the nastier bits of computation.

But in exchange for that, you get some fascinating possibilities to do tacit(point-free) programming instead. That is, because you've removed names from everything except word definitions(which are just sequences of calls to other words), your stack operations now compose together without needing any additional ceremony. And because you can instruct the interpreter to switch modes between "compile" and "execute" at will, you have a Lisp's degree of metaprogramming, so things like strings and formatted numbers are implemented as modes that jump out of the regular interpreter and wait for an end character to show up in the buffer. This extends even to stuff like IF ELSE THEN(control flow is negotiated with the help of a separate stack).

So it's wildly powerful in particular ways, but boring algorithmic code is often just as hard to write as the metaprogramming stuff, because every time, you have to work through your stack positions and try to break it down to a reasonable composition. And by the time you do that, you have a ton of confidence in having written a very exact spec, but also, the thing you did was probably something like "print a fixed point number".

So it's a very good language to use to make you detail-oriented and build up a personalized way of working. It really doesn't lend itself to flinging things around and telling the rest of the team "the code is self-documenting".

No kidding! I live in a rural area, and have my own well with immense draw. The water is far better than bottled water.

AWS/cloud providers are like buying bottled water, instead of getting better stuff for effectively free. That's how cheap bandwidth is in reality. Free. AWS markup on bandwidth is insane. Immense. EG, 1 trillion times the cost, or some such.

(With AWS's size and scope, its peering capability, yes... 1 trillion times markup is likely conservative, for what they charge for bandwidth)

Most baremetal stuff is sold on the size of pipe, not on data transfer.
It's the hub-and-spoke model.

For n cities, there are n^2 possible connections. Most of these will see hardly any traffic, so a direct flight would only happen once a week or so. With hub-and-spoke, everyone coming from Small City A will fly on the same quite-frequent flight to Atlanta, regardless of their intended destination. In Atlanta they'll all transfer to their own flights, going back to the individual smaller cities.

Yet it is not completely the same. Windows has monopoly so by them doing this they just take away another reason to actually switch to GNU/Linux and support it. By Valve doing it on GNU/Linux which has minority, they are just giving an excuse to developers of games to not properly support GNU/Linux. Just look at what happened with OS/2 which had better Windows emulation than Windows itself was. Sure it was not the only things that killed OS/2 (mismanagement at IBM was big part of it too), but it helped all the software vendors ignoring it. I am afraid this is also what is happening with Proton and GNU/Linux. So yeah short term it might be a good thing for the OS, but in long term strategic game, I am afraid it is not so.
> I have PVC windows that after 30 years are as good as new.

Those are unlikely to be uPVC, which means that unless you've reconditioned them, they are uv damaged to fuck. (source: I lived on an estate with a mixture of glazing types.)

> They are large because they have air pockets in them for isolation.

They are large for structural reasons, Insulation is a side bonus. PVC isn't very rigid, so in order to provide some level of support and stop the glazing units drooping out of windows, the frame needs to be of a certain thickness. its not _solid_ for both cost, ease of production and thermal properties. Solid PVC has a uvalue of about 3-5 u depending on your thickness, which is normally better than most double glazing.

> Load bearing window? That's insane idea as well.

What do you think lintels are for? also, how do you think Bay windows work?

> The only thing really thats better is the thermal performance, and price.

I should have added qualified that with the following: installation cost, over 50 years you'll need to replace them twice, if not more.

also, in the UK at least newer glazing has to have vents in them which kneecaps thermal performance.
The point where quality and security matters, and not providing them comes with returned products, canceled contracts or possible lawsuits.
AI chatbots can apparently get better at math for the strangest reason
You seem to hit the crux. There is a blurry line here and I had a hard time seeing where it really divides legal and illegal until your comment.

Showing that the average rent is this, the min and max are that, and the percentiles look like this is probably legal. Showing historical trends is also legal. Recommending a certain rent based on a single shared algorithm used by all the players begins to cross that line.

There doesn't seem to be a good in-depth academic resource for advanced compiler optimization. I've searched a lot and all the courses I found were introductory, the actual interesting techniques require diving deep into the source code of popular OSS compilers. I found that quite surprising.
well as a normal rule people tend to believe things that confirm their preconceptions so if they say that it doesn't exist I would think that seems reasonable, however I have noticed its use in comedies, generally things don't randomly come up in comedies - they are just exaggerations of some trend.

So after considering this and other things I would think huh, maybe some people snapped but not in the whole mesmerized puppets snapping along group-think that the anecdote seemed to paint it as. Like if there are 10 people and 4 people snap for a couple seconds and maybe someone says Amen a nervous person might just remember it as some big humiliating they all snapped against me! thing. This would allow other people who have knowledge of the thing or the culture of the company to say "come on, that never happened"

But as far as the rest of the combat you are having with the rest of the people in this thread who say it didn't happen - hey, you all seem to be more worked up about this thing than I am, I just thought that sounds too crazy, it sounds like something from "Curb your Enthusiasm" not real life.

But yeah if a group all snapped together because my favorite sandwich choice was too culturally insensitive or supportive of an authoritarian agenda I would probably start talking some shit and get fired, even though I don't agree with that corporation's viewpoints on things.

on edit: added some context.

on further edit: you could also argue that the article doesn't say it was some groupthink thing, I guess that is a matter of interpreting the style of the article.

I'm pretty sensitive to implications of literary style and so forth, in my opinion at least, and I think the implication was "oooh everybody ganged up on me" not just "some people snapped and others were like let's get through this dumb corporate orientation so we can go to lunch!" which is what I would have found totally believable.
Yeah, someone emailed me privately after they'd dug into this. They mentioned that "items[hashIndex]" was a significant source of cache misses. They used "perf record -e cache-misses" and found it was the largest source of cache misses.

> Lisp is that it's sorta bundled with Emacs ... Essentially, Lisp is not just a "language" ... All of this together makes "Lisp" the powerful and enlightening tool that people talk about

Here we have a conflict: Lisp survives, because it is different and ground breaking. Like Bach, Shakespeare, Einstein, ... But it is also old. If you study Bach, you'll find that he composed for instruments which are out of fashion, like the Harpsichord. When do we last have heard one of his compositions on an original instrument from the time he was living? His music has been reused, re-interpreted, but the original impression, live played on historic instruments is rare.

Lisp is also not "modern", it's not fitting into the "fast fashion" world of current software with ever faster hype cycles, where JavaScript creates hundred new variants frameworks every day and your software from a five years ago is no longer supported. Like our phone doesn't get any software updates after five years (if not earlier).

There, a book like "Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming, Case Studies in Common Lisp" by Peter Norvig is outdated. At the same time it might be a timeless classic.

The tooling for it has been developed and accumulated over decades and can't be reimplemented every other year. It's not powered by Microsoft, a trillion-dollar company, currently fueling the AI hype. Lisp is not in the hype cycle industry.

Using GNU Emacs plus extensions like SLIME or SLY as a dev-environment is just an effect on the low amount of resources and the concentration on a tool, which is itself programmable in Lisp. None of the other IDEs (IntelliJ, Visual Studio, ...) is easily extensible in Lisp.

> not image-based "live" ones.

to have "live programs" doesn't need "images". Image-based development is something different. For example ECL has the usual Lisp tools embedded, but can't create or start images. SBCL can save and load images, but doesn't use it much, beyond being able to deliver applications with it.

The real image-based development tools like Interlisp/Medley (-> https://interlisp.org ), Symbolics Genera, LispWorks ( https://lispworks.com ), etc. few people have ever seen or used. None of those use GNU Emacs as a dev environment.

> learn Lisp, the ones that are available are too old

Lisp is old, too.

The newer versions are no longer Lisp. It is nicely in the web, but it is no longer Lisp, like SICP has shown

That does not guarantee two-way communication. Pick-up patterns, resonance and filtering, power and local environment makes SNR highly asymmetrical.

Imagine you focus a high gain antenna dish A at an isotropic antenna B. A will almost exclusively hear B, but B will hear things from all directions, making it harder to single out A. Now, A could use their higher gain to scream louder at B - but that's not always a viable option, and could just peak the frontend of B if done wrong.

Different antennas and radio circuits have different selectivity, dictating how they react to nearby noise. A dedicated tranceiver station is often much more selective than consumer devices meant to handle many bands and protocols using a small set of multi-purpose antennas and with space requirements limiting room for radio frontends and filters.

The power rating of a dedicated transceiver station may also be quite a bit higher than that of a portable device, adding to the asymmetry.

There are also differences in atmospheric effects - primarily reflection and refraction - which for these wavelengths happen in the troposphere. With refraction happening closer to the ground (from the perspective of orbit), that makes for another SNR asymmetry.
Doesn't matter. An airbed will hold its shape with just 0.1 psi of pressure, and that works out to only 0.6 kg of compressed gas for the whole thing.

Once inflated, there are no forces causing it to fold up again, so it doesn't matter if the gas leaks out of holes after years.

> I've also heard it say that the old school nationalists feel unsupported. The major Irish historically nationalist party is seen to be almost compromised as they are pro immigration and open borders where historically they were more, well .... nationalist

That's quite inaccurate. The Nationalist movement in the context of Northern Ireland has fundamental differences from "Nationalist" movements elsewhere in Europe, to the point where the name is somewhat misleading to outsiders. Ideologically they were until recently a left-wing liberation movement. You may dispute the honesty or validity of that, but that was the basis of their politics.

These days things are changing, of course, but still, your mention of immigration and borders is, while relevant, not based on a good understanding of the dynamics of the various movements in contemporary Irish politics.

I'll agree with you. I'm solidly anti-Brexit but of all the EU members I think we had the best shot at it. "Only" about half our trade is with the EU, which is a lot, but less than pretty much every other member. I thought, maybe if we had a competent government with an idea of what post-EU Britain could be it would work out basically ok.

That did not happen.
Considering use cases, nuclear weapons aren't the ultimate weapon and a biological weapon could be employed in situations where nuclear weapons are inappropriate. Given the right biological weapon, a state actor (China, the US, or anyone really) could see the possible asymmetrical benefits.

Example: a purely theoretical biological weapon with low mortality but high economic cost and probably reduced military effectiveness. If I'm the country that uses it, I've taken measures to prepare and expect to come out ahead.

Whereas I observe 3 basic use cases for strategic nuclear weapons and only 1 (the last) is possibly comparable.

1/ game over for everyone, we'll launch left and right (Israel, I presume)

2/ I have enough nuclear weapons to make it not worth the price of bothering me (France, maybe China?)

3/ I believe that the combination of my delivery mechanisms and countermeasures give me a chance despite a generalized nuclear exchange (US, Russia/USSR).

Few know what really happened with respect to SARS-CoV-2. (I don't.) But I don't believe that the possession of nuclear weapons makes biological weapons completely 'uninteresting'.

There, however, is something stopping Go from using optimizations present in Java or C#/C++/Rust. This is lack of SIMD API without dropping to hand writing ASM and overall much weaker compiler. This puts much greater burden on the programmer to match the performance while staying with Go.
