From a sibling comment, the Graham Hancock/"progenitor civilization" idea is likewise just so obviously wrong to me.

Basically, they think that multiple agricultural civilizations arising independently at the end of the last glacial maximum is implausible, and that there must have been a global progenitor civilization that discovered it all and spread it after its own fall.

Except ... all of the crops of those early agricultural civilizations were distinct, based on the plants native to that region. Why would ancient farmers have traveled the world to teach people how to farm, but not have brought seeds with them?

If it's closed source, it makes no difference what the implementation language is.

The population of CA, meaning the number of people who need water for drinking and growing food, has doubled in the past decades. Meanwhile, the state budget has ballooned to six times what it was circa 1985.

Choosing to starve because you just picked the last fruit off the low-hanging branch is plainly irrational, especially since reservoirs are an aquaculture investment, not a burn pit to shovel money into. The smart business decision is to build wherever gives the best balance between comparative cost and usefulness, regardless of absolute cost, and then make whatever the cost is back through selling the rescued water. If the ruling class is generally right that the state is still a desirable abd growing place to live outside of the regular desperation for more water then this is about as close to a guaranteed return as these things get.

"Travel time to the airport, door to door" is often much more than just "driving over there" though that can often be the fastest - drive to the airport, park on the closest ramp, walk in.

If you park at the discount ramps, you're usually adding at least 15 minutes if not more. Transit adds significantly more for most people, unless you have a train to the gate right outside your door.

> Most people live a reasonable distance from a decent-sized airport. Half the people in the United States live within 17 miles of a decent-sized airport, and ninety percent of the country lives within 58 miles (about an hours drive). Twenty-five percent of the population lives pretty darn close: less than 9 miles.

Since the 1970s per-capita domestic water use in California has declined so dramatically that new reservoirs aren't really needed for population centers.

The reservoirs and pipelines EBMUD already owns are sufficient for a population of 4 million but we only have 1.4 million residents.

The portability of your stack is one aspect but there are other more important factors:

1. The tools you want to use work with the other k8s components or things commonly available in k8s environments. Say you want a cloud-portable messaging system. You can deploy Apache Pulsar on k8s and if you use the operator, helm charts (eww) or templates it will integrate out of the box with Prometheus, cert-manager, whatever volume provisioner you are using etc. You can't get that level of cloud-agnostic deployability or integration with tools like Terraform/Pulumi because all the underlying infrastructure resources are different on a per-cloud basis. Having such a powerful generic API that properly describes like 99% of workloads is a massive game changer.

2. The skillset is transferable. If you are comparing k8s to something like ECS, Cloud Run or friends you will end up with a bunch of proprietary knowledge that is hard to transfer. Similarily your hires won't come with that knowledge either but in this day and age they probably have robust k8s skills if they are infra folk or are aware of it if above that part of the stack.

3. Flexibility. Perhaps it's greatest strength and greatest weakness is that the set of primitives chosen to be exposed by k8s (with the exception of things like Ingress that needed to get re-done) are by and large skewed towards flexibility. This means doing all manner of 'very difficult things' are now considerably easier. Conversely however this flexibility means you still need to fully describe more common patterns which simpletons mistake for being "over-complicated" when what they really mean is "less easy". Don't fall into the trap of equating "easy" to "simplicity", k8s once understood is by far one of the simplest but as a result is usually more work to get started. Good example is say Arch Linux vs MacOS, the former is simple the latter is easy.

Speaking from the center of Shanghai, it does indeed take a couple of hours to get to the airport by subway, though a taxi is more like one hour.

Airports don't get sited in dense locations - they make a lot of noise - so I can't quite follow your logic. If you live in a city, it's going to take you a while to get to the airport.

I've been doing that with a Minisforum bd790i -- a Ryzen 7945HX which is a monster of a CPU (16 zen4 cores, with very high single threaded and multi threaded benchmarks[1]) with a paltry TDP. Minisforum even coined the term "Mobile on Desktop (MoDT)". It's a great platform that is utterly cheap for what you get (mobo w/ PCIe gen5 + CPU + heatsink for less than the price of an individual comparable CPU). Note: This CPU is usually in a laptop with a relatively underpowered cooling solution compared to the linked motherboard with a proper heatsink+fan. Hence the benchmarks have a very wide spread due to varying (usually laptop-based) cooling.

Pertinent to the conversation though, the BIOS is very much lacking, and supposedly software-based fan control is not implemented. That said, running the fans constantly at ~silent levels of rotation keeps the temps cool (you can even run the heatsink without a fan if you want).

Android and ChromeOS just reinforce my point though. There is one Android™ and there is one ChromeOS™. I don't have to support Android with this package manager and another with that display server.

If those were concerns that had to be considered, would Android and ChromeOS have gotten as popular as they are? Food for thought.

> After all, Microsoft didn’t stop people from making money off their platform or modifying their computers.

That is literally what they did.

Be built a business, lined up customers, and had every one of them fail because of exclusivity agreements with Microsoft. Unless you were a vertically integrated software/hardware business you couldn’t get your OS on PCs because of Microsoft.

It might seem quaint now, but there was a market for web browsers! They weren’t free until Microsoft duped Mosaic into giving them a license for a percentage of sales and then gave it away for free as Internet Explorer, instantly destroying any market for selling web browsers. That’s not only preventing others from making money on their platform, but anyone from making money in that entire segment.

Literally the entire world was affected by Microsoft’s business practices as the PC industry was booming.

Yeah. Have a multimodal parser model that can decompose prompts into pieces, generate embeddings for each of them and route those embeddings to the correct model based on the location of the embedding in latent space. Then have a "combiner/resolver" model that is trained to take answer embeddings from multiple models and render it in one of a variety of human readable formats.

Eventually there is going to be a model catalog that describes model inputs/outputs in a machine parseable format, all models will use a unified interface (embedding in -> embedding out, with adapters for different latent spaces), and we will have "agent" models designed to be rapidly fine tuned in an online manner that act as glue between all these different models.
With the actual high energy costs, it seems to be viable not to abandon the day light savings.

When they've been introduced, it was a solution for a problem. That problem didn't exist until 2022 again. So, to keep sticking to a plan that has been made up before 2022 doesn't make sense, if I look on the current situation.

I'm a citizen of Europe and never understood where the problem is. I also do not have a problem with turning the clocks forth and back. So, may be there are some points which I actually don't see and may be it's not that big problem in the sight of high energy costs right now.
This is a reversal of history.

The iPhone released without an App Store. Their original plan was very clearly to limit it to web apps. Apple, including Steve Jobs, spent a lot of time and energy explaining why web apps were the best option.

And then Apple realized, largely through apps developed for jailbroken phones which led to a lot of people jailbreaking their phones, that for iOS to really succeed they needed apps.

Windows Phone 7 is another example of this. It was a superior OS to iOS by most measures. It died almost entirely because of the lack of major apps.

If major app providers (Google, Spotify, Netflix, etc) had never made their apps available on iOS and had made them available on Android instead iOS would probably be looking like Windows Phone 7 right now.
Back when I managed a small coworking space, one of our most loyal members paid the premium for 1 of 2 private offices we had where he would show up to every day and shut the door for 8 hours working in the dark. He liked our rowdiness outside but hated being in the middle of it.

Thanks for pointing that out. I've done color space conversion in other graphics applications but clearly haven't learned my lesson. I'll double check and update the interactive figures (and text) if it makes sense. The main "torusphere" shader should be fine because the motion blur is non-realistic and hand tuned, but the first couple of interactive figures are a direct application of theory so what you're saying applies to those. Overall I don't think it invalidates the main ideas in the text though.

This kind of ignores the alternative reality. The idea that well if not Concorde then nothing else would have existed and whatever would have existed wouldn't have been 'European'.

This isn't really true. If you look at the British case for example, there were alternative planes in development that asked for British funding. While those projects were British lead, they had specifically designed them to have suppliers all over Europe, including France.

Now that plane could have been a failure or a success, we wont know. Looking at the design, it seems to have some potential.

The French on the other hand might have invested their money in another kind of plane primarily from France but with supply chains outside of France as well.

You could see something like Airbus emerging out of that too. Or maybe something that wasn't Airbus but like Airbus. Or a you could see a British lead company that has success in the narrow body world and later a French plane with success in the Wide-body world. Those could eventually merge.

History could have gone many ways, and could have failed many ways. That we have Airbus now does track back to Concord, but is not true that its clear that without Concord we wouldn't have something Airbus like.
It is more than "a bit" cheaper. Air travel would have continued to be reserved for the elite had there not been a decades-long effort to reduce costs. You can get a transcontinental round trip today for <$500 vs $10K minimum in the 70s.
