Another assured part of the litany invoked by anti-nuclear activists. There were no certain or statistically expected deaths from the accident and considering that it took place in a country that has been burning coal for power for a century, which has killed up to as much as 30,000 people per year in preventable deaths from inhalation of combustion products and particulates etc, bringing up TMI is trivial to dismiss.

It grew out of many countries licensing the specific devices at national/trans-national level, not telco level.

Though there were throwbacks, like early iPhone, with special tariffs, but those were 95% for business reasons not explained to end buyer and 5% for marking the terminal in network as "the one that is slightly out of spec and remember to special case call redirection"

Now do the Congress for Cultural Freedom.
At 360 images/hour, you can generate 8640 images/day, 3153600/year. Realistically, no reason why the card shouldn't last at least 3 years, so that brings us to at least 10 million pictures.

Anecdotally, 10K sheets of paper per tree, so almost a thousand trees worth in just paper, before accounting for the other materials, the impacts of their extraction and logging and so on.

I think hardware wins there as well, and the more tech advances the more uneven it gets. Making paper and pigments is a purely physical thing, we're already about as good at that as we can be. And probably getting worse with time, as the most convenient mines of materials are exhausted.
That’s pretty cynical, and maybe not the smartest way to communicate. A similar argument can be made for “people”, and it already was made in this thread before I commented. A speaker can’t be expected to walk on egg shells because there are cynics in the audience who refuse to accept neutral and common usage of words. If someone chooses to interpret a word differently than it’s definition and normal usage, it reflects on them and not the speaker.
Does that mean the transformation is permanent? Because if they created a dress that could be shaped, unshaped, and reshaped in different ways using, say, a hair dryer, they'd really be on to something!
It’s important to not conflate all crypto with BTC. Ethereum moved to Proof of Stake and uses drastically less energy now.

>Ethereum will consume 6.56 GWh of electricity annually. To put that into perspective, the annual electricity consumption of the Eiffel Tower is 6.70 GWh

There is no need to hate all crypto because you hate the energy consumption. It’s as easy as people buying and using coin #2 instead of #1 and the problem all goes away. The only reason Bitcoin continues to be mined is that it is profitable. If the coin value goes down, mining goes down.

3. The word "head" in a nautical context also refers to the ship's toilet.
I'll disagree with that. In fact, I'd argue the vast majority of "local" functions are no better than RPC calls and shouldn't be treated any different.

Sure, `sprintf` will run synchronously and finish in known time, but `read` may as well end up waiting for seconds for an HDD to spin up, or for a mounted NFS filesystem to respond. `read` is not any different from an RPC call. And, in fact, `read` can fail in just the same ways as an RPC call can. So can `write`, which is why `sync` exists.

Software ignoring these potential issues, and pretending they don't exist, is the source of many unnecessary software hangs and crashes, such as Windows Explorer crashing if your SMB share responds too slowly or Linux being unable to unmount an NFS share if the connection breaks badly.

The solution IMO is that we should finally stop hiding asynchronicity behind synchronous facades. If coroutines, promises, async programming, etc are first-class features, it becomes much easier to cleanly model these potential errors and in turn handle them correctly.

And once you have that, an rpc call

async fn rpcMakePurchase(user: &User, order: &Order) -> Result<Purchase>

does feel just like a local function

async fn read(path: impl AsRef<Path>) -> Result<Vec<u8>>
Greenwich used to be a very important Royal Navy training centre, so it is not too unsurprising in that context that there might be some errands to do just a little further up the Thames.

There are a lot of gains (both cost and performance) to be made here, but it's not "low hanging fruit". This is not the scaling of yesteryear, and the importance of design/testing/reliability and yield are really going to rise as the number of parts in an already complex product explodes.
This went into "maintenance mode" in 2018, has anything changed? https://blog.helftone.com/monodraw-maintenance-mode/
Owned this for years, and regularly use it to brainstorm, and sometimes I’ll add ascii diagrams to code comments.
> Again I think you're missing the point. There's many ways in which you can construct theories on any topic. They're all just models: which can be seen by how these models often evolve over time, and yet were at each time seen as fairly valid. This is true in all the sciences, and is inherent to science. You make like that's a criticism of modern physics only, but I think it's more an effect of the point below about measurement.

In science, as opposed to theology, the models in themselves are of no use until they're validated.

Hence the motto of the Royal Society: Nullius in verba. One expects more than words -- one expects experimental showings, or the reasonable expectation of an experimental showing in the very near future. 20th century physics, in the main, had this. It is the cornerstone of all other disciplines.

> in any way: I think this is a mischaracterization. Fitting with the data is a validation in some way.

"In some way" is doing a lot of work there. How many potential fittings from cosmological data are there? 1000? 10^10? 10^500? Do you know?

> That's the thing. These synths look like they work, on paper. The groups and charges move around right, but they don't actually work, which contradicts your point that you can't devise a large number of plausible alternatives in chem.

What are you talking about? You can come up with any number of theoretical retrosyntheses that do work, but are unwieldy, impractical, or can't be validated for any number of reasons -- lack of reagents or intermediates, etc.

You can derive any number of plausible processes. Nobody does that, though, because one is expected to do more -- to come up with something that runs, and ideally to run it and report how it works, with yield rates and so forth.

Similarly, I don't think that the paper in OP has constructed something that runs. It is mere backwards-fitting to cosmological data. The more interesting question, as I've noted, is how many such things are possible.
Do you take external DDR RAM on an application-class ARM core? You're an MPU.

There's a blurry line sometimes, but Application-class (Cortex A* cores, like A5, A35, etc. etc.) are solidly MPU. Not even close.
> You still need every single component of an ICE vehicle.

no you don't. you can skip the transmission and all the variable valve complications that modern ICEs have. Since you have a powerful electric engine, you no longer need the ICE to have good response or a flat torque curve since you can use electric power to fill in the gaps.

Taxing all businesses and then handing the money to majority-owned businesses makes minority-owned businesses poorer. It's pretty hypocritical to complain about how unfair the strings are on the free money you were unfairly handed.
Magnetic storage still rules all.

Get a tape backup system and be happy. I rotate three tapes between offsite, my safe, and an active one in the tape drive. Don’t overthink “offsite”, your work office is good enough. Or your parents house. Or your neighbor on the other side of the neighborhood.

Or backup once and throw the tape in the back of the closet. At least you can restore the magnetic backup. I would not be happy with the error rate of transcribing data from paper :-)
Threema's take on the new Apple appstore rules
To extract 1kg of hydrogen with electrolysis you need ~50 kWh with inefficiencies (39.4 with no losses)[0], while one kilo of hydrogen only has 33.6 kWh[1]-roughly 1.17kWh to produce 1 kWh worth of hydrogen (no losses). For diesel, it seems to be quite similar-roughly 1.18 kWh per 1 kWh, however in reality at current efficiencies for hydrogen it is more like 1.5 kWh/1kWh. It seems companies need more incentive to switch to hydrolysis based solutions to cancel out the much higher costs of hydrogen storage

it's important to understand that most crypto doesn't even use proof of work. out of the top ten, only two are mined and they have less actual usage combined than the other eight.
Israel didn’t collect taxes out of the goodness of their hearts. They’ve collected them due to the Oslo Agreement, giving Israel the power to collect the taxes. This allows Israel to control the tap and punish the Palestinians whenever they see fit, as they’ve done over and over again for years.
Have you had this for a long time, or are you speculating that it’s the type of software you like?

This looks very cool to me, though. If you have used it, can you share how you’ve used the generated diagrams? I can imagine a screenshot of the diagram, but the raw text would probably be too big in (e.g. a terminal).

Hm, ok. I don't think they did miss the severity though, at least by my reading of:

> That means that this "feature" by Apple either adds more computation for nothing, or breaks the verification model that is expected.

they're saying one of two things happens: you get the wrong result (more severe than amount of computation) or you (because the cert it does have is not in Apple's store either) get the correct result, but wasted cycles doing something that you didn't want it to do and risked getting the wrong result.
I'd imagine that it's voluntary. The last thing you want in a show for the press and tourists is a bunch of grumpy looking sailors, but I also imagine there are a not insignificant number of armed forces personnel who appreciate the getting in the limelight now and then.
It's really hard to have exactly-once delivery[1].

But exactly once processing is viable.

With Differential, the implementation does allow for idempotency in cases where you need exactly-once processing. And it does handle the "not available, but already 'stolen' case".

I think the counter-argument is that "curl" is a project maintained by Daniel. If you are going to ship a product that doesn't behave in the same way you should call it something else. So Daniel is right about what "curl" should do, but Apple can be right about what "applecurl" which is very similar to curl should do.

I think we're discussing different topics. The article headline says, "Microsoft confirms Russian spies stole source code, accessed internal systems." I interpreted your comment about vault 7 to imply that investigators (ie, MS & anyone that they asked to be involved) couldn't be certain this was Russia. I disagree with that; snuggling data leaves too many breadcrumbs. Your reply seems more focused on other parts of vault 7, and although I don't necessarily disagree with it, I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.

However, it's important to remember that FBI!=CIA!=NSA

Replicator Is DoD’s Big Play To Build Thousands Of Autonomous Weapons
Homebrew wants to avoid being filled up with random stuff that nobody uses.

So to get something into homebrew repos you have to show somehow that people use it.

I guess GitHub star count is one way of doing that. Even though it’s probably pretty easy to game it.

For open source software that is cross platform you could probably get it into another package manager first, and then use that to argue for getting into Homebrew. But since this tool is macOS specific it would not get added to any Linux or BSD package manager repos.
As it is, the rising interest rate regime of the past two years has already completely killed off two major windfarm projects on the US Eastern seaboard. That aside, the fact remains that the "expensive nuclear power" meme is based on cherrypicking the worst cases of cost-overruns in the industry and holding them as generally representative for nuclear industry and technology, while wholly ignoring the effective steps forward taken by Korea, China, the UAE and do on.

Also, this assumes dollar cost is the only relevant factor which is deeply unserious considering that we're dealing with a global long-term issue.
you mean the LocalServer32 value?
As depressing as that is, we've had that particular millstone around our neck for a couple of millennia now.

The major religion in the West for the past two thousand years teaches the concept of original sin and goes on about how we're inherently bad, in need of saving, wealth is bad, etc.

Now we have a lighter version of that with this new wave of secular anti-humanism. At least there is some slow, grinding progress.

Interestingly, Nietzsche predicted all of this in the Genealogy of Morality.

"Hepatocentrism was a medical doctrine that considered the liver the center of the whole human being."

I’m curious how the flexibility of the reformed fabric lasts over dressing/undressing cycles, garment care, and long term storage in a closet. If I’m not careful I can easily stretch out a well made alpaca wool sweater if I remove it too carelessly (from experience!). I wonder how fussy this is.

Also would like to know more about the machine. Many garments are knitted as tube-like structures just look at circular knitting needles, where does this differ and how?
