I am not sure that Tolkien was a supporter of "Deontology" (ethical systems like Kant's). He was more probably a fan of virtue ethics of Aristotle and Aquinas. There is a large gulf between them. Wikipedia does a decent job of summarising the differences. We can not lump together into one category everyone who disagrees for many different reasons why we can sum up future consequences almost mathematically to come up with an "optimal" ethical choice. I am not sure that Tolkien is particularly interested in "greatness" either.
Hi, I personally don't have a lot of experience regarding this topic, but I've had some observations and heard opinions on this topic from other people.

From my understanding, the more "serious" the industry is, the less cool new alternatives will be there. As an example, software for cashiers in a lot of countries is still running on windows 95, just because it was once developed and then, nobody bothered to update it, think of new features, etc. Public transportation systems, especially ticketing, if the country/city won't invest in upgrading, it won't happen. You can also think about more hardcore industries (chemistry, machinery, etc.).

But it's incredibly hard to get into these things, "don't fix what's not broken" is a pretty good reason for rejecting new ideas, but of course it all depends on your location, ability, expertise and all these good things.

I'm sorry for a very broad response, hopefully it can give you some thoughts, sorry if not.
And the battery duration is virtually "infinite", that is a key selling point if you are in the road.
Windmill is used by large enterprises to run critical jobs that require a predefined amount of resources and can run for months if needed, stream their logs, written in code at scale with upmost reliability, throughput and lowest overhead. The only insight from Zapier is how easy it is to develop new workflows.

I understand our positioning is not clear on our landing (and we are working on it), but my read of hatched is that what they put forward is mostly a durable execution engine for arbitrary code in python/typescript on a fleet of managed workers, which is exactly what Windmill is. We are profitable and probably wouldn't if we were MIT licensed with no enterprise features.

From reading their documentation, the implementation is extremely similar, you define workflows as code ahead of time, and then the engine make sure to have them progress reliably on your fleet of workers (one of our customer has 600 workers deployed on edge environments). There are a few minor differences, we implement the workers as generic rust binary that pull the workflows, so you never have to redeploy them to test and deploy new workflows, whereas they have developed SDK for each languages to allow you to define your own deployable workers (which is more similar to Inngest/Temporal). Also we use polling and REST instead of gRPC for communications between workers and servers.
Paragon Software, particularly Konstanin Kamarov - it’s worth being specific.

This read-write driver has been a tremendous help to me, from Linux 5.15 till now. I hope they can soon publish the mkfs tool they committed to previously as well.
I didn't say "folks" was exclusively used that way—it's just a normal neutral word in some dialects—but I've been specifically told by some people (like OP) that they started using "folks" even though it's not common in their native dialect because it is more inclusive of all identities than "people" is.

Used that way it's a shibboleth. Used by DeSantis it's a part of Southern U.S. English.

I've even seen people spell it "folx" in writing to make it clear that they're using it as a shibboleth, since as you note it can be ambiguous in the absence of other dialectical markers.
>"explain galactic rotation curves without needing to evoke dark matter."

I wonder if this makes it incompatible with dark matter?
If stochastic spacetime explains the rotation curves exactly without black matter, then black matter can't exist at the same time.

The evidence for dark matter is find in, galaxy rotation curves, gravitational lensing, cosmic microwave background, structure formation, bullet cluster and other galaxy cluster collisions, baryon acoustic oscillations, Lyman-alpha forest absorption lines, etc.

There is plenty of evidence for dark matter and it's existence is widely accepted. Explaining just one piece of evidence can be evidence against the new explanation if it's incompatible.
Sure. I never said otherwise. There’s obviously some judgement, and some areas won’t have an option. Bit to claim it’s too confusing to figure out (as the prior post suggested) is completely hyperbolic as well.
I always consider Hondas first because their interior fit and finish is superior when new, but the sheer size of the online support groups for dealing with complex expensive mechanical failures like electrical system gremlins and transmission failures alerted me to the scale of the problems. BMW might be more reliable than Honda these days
You're definitely on to something, but I think it's more than that. So many of the decision-makers on this live in big cities where EVs can easily be "refueled". Couple that with the heavy political pressure that has been coming from the biggest governments around the world to fully abandon gas* in an accelerated timetable (accelerated faster than what the market would normally deliver as EV tech becomes cheaper and more efficient than ICE), and it's not a big surprise that all the companies are towing the line.

Toyota seems to be one of the only companies that is willing to testify before congress and point out what everybody living outside of major cities knows: The infrastructure is not there for many, many people to switch to EVs, and no matter how much we try to artificially force the market to do that, it's just not possible yet. This means that for most people, buying an EV means you are dramatically reducing the utility of your vehicle by ditching features such as ability to use your car on road trips without having to plan extensively to ensure there are charging stations where you need them, and that you have the time to sit and wait (and hope that the stations are available and aren't broken). I know quite a few people that have bought Teslas (or other EVs, but mostly Teslas) and all except one has expressed regret and wished they hadn't**, because they no longer have the same "freedom" that they had from their car before, namely the ability to use it whenever and wherever they wanted to go. The saddest case is a friend who loves to go into the mountains. He works from home and his kids have a bus to school, so his car is mainly used to occasionally run errands, and to go to the mountains. He can't use it for the mountains anymore because it's too risky! Running out of "fuel" is much more frequent and consequential. He also has very little towing capacity now.

A lot of people are hearing about reality/experiences like this, and that is having an impact. Toyota not only seems prophetic, but like the only car company that is well positioned to address this. Hybrids are a great solution combining many of the pros of both EV and ICE.

EVs are the future, but we can't just wish them into existence, even though plenty of people with enormous financial and political incentive to do so, will advocate for that approach.

*And not for nothing. Obviously there are very real and concerning existential reasons why we want to abandon fossil fuels, but that doesn't change any of the economic and technological realities in which we must operate.

**They do love them as commuter cars though without a doubt. The dream seems to be to have two cars: an EV for commuting and around-town and an ICE/hybrid for leaving the city
An M3 won’t even come close to breaking a sweat doing all of those things.

Hell, add in multiple intensive browser tabs, a few large Excel sheets, and VSCode open to a large Rust project with rust-analyzer running and still, the processor will hardly even get hot. I’ve done all of this on an M2 with zero problem whatsoever.
A typical mid range EV (say 250 miles) is about 50 KWH. So to just get 20% you only need 10KWh.

The smallest generators are around 12KG and put out about 1.1KW but they tend to only run a couple of hours due to small tanks. About double that at 22KG you have something with more reasonable run time and puts out 2KW (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Panana-Aokaidun-Portable-Inverter-G...) and within its typical 6 hour runtime is going to get you 20% and in a 24 hour cycle with refills gets you nearly a full EV. This suggests to charge the car fully you would need about 4 x 4 Litres of fuel, that is 16KG of fuel and 22KG of generator your carting around in the back of the car, its basically a persons extra of weight for one refill which would take about day to complete.

I don’t know what privacy you think you are gaining with your own modem.

They already have your name, address, and payment info.

If you are concerned about them seeing your traffic, well they are going to see that regardless if you use their modem or your own. They own the public IP you get assigned, all traffic is going through their route tables and equipment and is logged before it hits your home router.

Use DNS over https (not the ISPs DNS), or a VPN if you want to hide your activity from them.

Your own modem gains you little in privacy. At worst they could be tracking a count of your devices and their MAC address, but they probably don’t care to collect that.
There are some tools like Apache Nifi which call this pattern an HTTP listener. it’s also basically a kind of a sink, and also sort of resembles webhook architecture.
It's definitely the case that well funded science proceeds faster, but science being funded in the name of strategic necessity is ancient. And it has tended to be the case that when funding has been focused on applied topics like engineering, then knowledge advances more slowly. When scientists are allowed to pursue more pure subjects, that tends to be the right climate for germinating new ideas.

Compare, for example, the engineering-focused Roman empire with the idea-focused Greeks.

> governments recognized that technology was a strategic necessity, bam, within a century or two we went from playing with primitive batteries, to nuclear fission, the internet, and now AI.

Governments have recognized this since at least the time of Archimedes, though. A lot of well-known mathematicians worked on things like canons, mines, railroad networks etc. So I think something else is needed to explain the explosion you're talking about other than governments recognizing the strategic importance of technology. Probably computers (and networks of computers) together with the figuring out of quantum mechanics played major roles.
The way I see it now, if price is part of your decision process, Apple is not for you.
most games run at 64Kbits/sec or 120Kbits and FQ helps those "mice" flows a lot, by giving them their own lane.

If also, the greedy protocols like TCP or QUIC back off on filling up buffers (via an AQM) before a gamer would notice (20ms of jitter/buffering is about right, 60ms is teetering on wrong) gamers and downloaders can co-exist happily on the same link.
That's a very small change that's a lot harder to see.
I feel like adding heat shrink fabric doesn't add a dimension and make it go from 3D to 4D. I was expecting a klein bottle or hypercube projection or something.
Same. In comparison, my last job I joined right when the last of the Intel Macs were going away, so my work machine was a fully loaded 16” i9 MBP. Aside from being enormous, and having the battery life of a gaming laptop, it would get absurdly hot unless I disabled Turbo. While the heat wasn’t a physical problem when docked, it would spin the fans up, and sometimes I don’t want headphones on.

I don’t know who thought shoving an i9 into a laptop designed to be sleek and quiet was a good idea, but they were mistaken.

Oh, also, my base (8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD) M1 Air destroyed the i9 in actual workloads.
4Runner is indeed a great car. I have a 2016 and still love it, I plan on handing it down to my oldest son when he turns 16 and gets his license in a couple years. When this happens my plan is to pick up a one year old Landcruiser hybrid. If the new model is as reliable as their predecessors then it may very well be the last vehicle I ever have to buy.
It's too bad that car is absolutely garish looking.

Why can't the world produce a single EV that looks like the new Bronco, a Wrangler, or even the Defender 90?

Unless you own a house I don't think it makes sense to get an electric. I barely like sitting 5 minutes at the super charger which at least for me was giving like 180kw and then it just drops off a bunch, and now the super chargers are getting more full.
> Given the choice between having a team of 3 people working under me or 1000 dedicated H100s for my work, I’d have to think for a little bit.

But the exact numbers are important. An H100 is ~$2/hour [1], so 1000 is $16M/year (24/7). Even if Google gets a massive internal discount that's still way more than 3 people's total cost. If you have to choose between 16 (highly paid, senior) people or 1000 H100s would you have to think about the choice?

Then again when you revisit this comment in a few years' time the original comparison may be correct.

One reason for that is that they have a hybrid version for pretty much every model they sell, at least in Europe. From superminies to SUVs, all lines have a hybrid version included. Add the fact that their engines are super smooth and they produce the most reliable cars and you can see why it pays dividends while other manufacturers struggle to modernize their fleet.
FUSE is what I’d call “quite slow”, but FUSE passthrough might finally land for Linux 6.9.

I don’t have the exact benchmark used to produce the numbers in the article, though. It may be in the half hour video.
In my market you can’t plug into the ONT because it still requires authentication.

The modem the ISP provides has hard coded settings to limit connection counts as well as rate limit and probably other things. There is a reason they sell full duplex gigabit for so cheap, there are gremlins in the hardware.
In my country, Toyota dealers (there are two) have the same price for cash than for bankloans. It is not mandatory to use financing in here, but the last three times I have asked in showrooms, across some 15 years, the assistants have no idea how to process a full payment. They always took 30-60 minutes to ask around.

The price is pretty much fixed, except for cars which weren't sold after receiving a downpayment for them.
I had a 13" M1 MacBook Air. It was an OK machine to move to from my 2012 MacBook Air, but the thing was super fragile.

Let's just say it's been retired while my 2012 is still going strong (my not-so-technically-inclined partner uses it for basic browsing).

I now have a 15" M2 MacBook Air and I have to say: this machine is the laptop of my dreams. It could be one of the best computers I've ever owned.

Now I'm just holding out for a 27" or larger iMac. I have a 24" M1 iMac and while I have gotten used to the screen being smaller, I still really could use the extra real-estate.

I am a web developer and media producer. These machines handle Premiere Pro and Blender just fine for my purposes. I have zero interest in getting the Studio.

This is probably good for society. Ideally we'd already be at the stage where all sales were EV, PHEV or hybrid and working towards all EV but sadly many other manufacturers fumbled both the hybrid, PHEV and EV transition.

But given the insane comments coming from their leadership it seems likely that they're going to get sideswiped by Chinese EVs (and PHEVs) flooding the market at some point and simply not see it coming. So good for society in the short term but bad for Toyota (and Japan) in the medium term.
I'm not saying anyone should modify their speech. I'm saying some people in the US are modifying their speech based on what they've been told the connotations of the word "people" are. As I noted above, there are no such connotations in standard American English, so the speech modification is purely performative.

Re: foreigners, this whole discussion is very US-centric, when I say "dialects" I'm talking about different varieties of US English, not anything outside the US.
Come to think about it, my friend was thinking about doing something for some city in Czech Republic regarding public transportation. From what I heard, it's doable, if you have enough proof, that you will actually solve a specific problem, something like, upgrading the payment system, so people don't have to buy tickets and could use their phone instead, making an app for tracking busses with accurate waiting times, stuff like that.
By this logic, most things we do because of sentimentality and feeling, which many consider to be exactly those things that make us human, are “just silly”.
Off topic, but other than the goofy green touchpad I gotta say I love the aesthetics. I'd totally rock a transparent laptop.

BYD [a Chinese company, largest EV manufacturer in the world] does not care about US intellectual property controls. I agree with you that Tesla's "open patents" are a honeypot, but my statement above goes far beyond just patents or just US jurisdiction.
But then these laptops are really expensive, if they’re basically just meant to be chrome books. The other day there was a thread about some pc laptop review with some commenter mentioning how they find it odd that all non Mac hardware is full of weird compromises.

But the MacBook Air with 16g of ram and 500gig hdd costs like 1500$, but is apparently still only „meant“ for light browsing, lacks ports, only comes with a mirror (glossy) screen, and the OS is missing a bunch of basic functionality.

The MacBook seems expensive and full of compromises.
Using the power consumption figure of 87.8 kWh at the wall for a Model 3 with this methodology https://electrly.com/ev-charging-guide/tesla/model-3/how-man...

20% or 17.6 kWh can be attained in 9 hours at 2000 watts output with a Honda eu2200i generator. This is the largest generator the average person can hold like a briefcase. Larger generators are insanely heavy.
I would bet it's more he cares way less about tesla now that the hard stuff is done and the huge factories are designed and spitting out vehicles. He's moved on to spacex and that brain implant place, where there's still plenty of really hard engineering going on. I don't think it's fair to say any era of Elon would be ashamed of taking money from people either. he's always like money and has had no problem shipping crap as the v1 of something, to be improved later.
Now we have hybrids that can be charged from a charger you get a short range EV for all the local trips which dominate most peoples car usage and its still got a backup engine to take away the range anxiety. Hybrids in practice are going to drastically reduce emissions so long as their batteries are large enough and chargeable off the grid where often overnight power is quite green depending on where you are in the world.

But in the end the answer is just better charging infrastructure and a bit more power density for less money, it has to be if we want a habitable planet.
one of my sadnesses is so few tests, except those designed by the bufferbloat project, test up + down + latency at the same time.

Problem with fission waste is it's super long decay duration. It will basically still be seriously dangerous way beyond the lifespan of its containers. We need the equivalent of the Manhatten project to build next generation facilities to burn down the waste. The original bomb scientists really wanted to go with thorium as it has several safety features. One it needs to be pushed to criticality so it can't go runaway. Two its waste is much safer in its duration. And now cost is becoming a factor, as solar, wind, battery storage, geothermal, ocean thermal and conservation all pile on with cost efficiencies that make fission rapidly too costly. The fission waste will still need to be processed and then stored in ways that can be hoped to be safe for eons.
Just for fun, I’m trying to force it to misinterpret what I’m saying by changing “dei tie” to “di tie” (as in subway). It really doesn’t want to interpret it differently! I think “shoelaces” must be such a strong signal of context for the LLM

As a satisfied M1 user since nearly launch (my previous laptop was a 2013-era Air, and before that, various Dells), I can confidently state that an Air is also quite capable of doing development work. Perhaps not for game dev, or if you insist on an IDE that needs GiB of RAM just to launch, but for nvim it is more than adequate. Runs Docker (I prefer colima due to the bloat of Docker Desktop) just fine, limited of course to the resources you can devote to the VM it spawns.
