Maybe it's the definition of "normal" that is the real problem?

If I use a pebble as my metric, some things we think of as 'small' would have to be counted as 'big'. The idea of abnormal is all wrong imo, but just the idea brings constraints with it.

i.e. more cost, which gets passed onto buyers/renters. Different entry point, same result. Plenty of brownfield sites do get redeveloped, particularly in city centers, but they don’t become affordable housing, they become trendy apartments with industrial heritage museums next door (and not enough of them).

The population of Britain has increased nearly +10M in the 21st century, but the housing supply has lagged far, far behind.
What's the state of deployment for something like nix-snapshotter nowadays (with the realization that the answer depends on which of N k8s install methods might be in use)?

I assume it's mostly in the field of ... "you're making a semi-large investment on this enough that you're doing semi-custom kubernetes deployments with custom containerd?"

Or maybe the thought is nix-snapshotter users are running k8s/kubelet with nixos anyway so its not a big deal to swapout/add containerd config?
Isn't China having a real estate overproduction crisis right now? There can be different problems in different places, I mean, it's a big country, but that's mostly the opposite problem.

There is no other meaning.

If you have an idea, even if it is correct, for most things it won't work just any old time. There will be a certain optimal time when it will work, and it won't work either before or after that.

In this case, even if evs are inevitable, where at some point it will absolutely be a win to switch a rental fleet to evs, that time is not today. It didn't work. So "you can't be too early".

Then later, if you're hertz, and enterprise switches to evs before you, maybe strikes a plum deal from a manufacturer or charger network that isn't available for any 2nd and 3rd comers etc, you lose for being too late. so "you can't be too late" In this case I'm not sure how much being 2nd or last to go ev would actually hurt a rental fleet, but that's the idea regardless of the details. Someone else captures most of the market and the 2nd mover has a much harder time.

Try to be a 2nd OpenAI or nvidia today. Everyone's trying to do something with ai today, and in the hardware arena AMD and Intel will certainly manage to stay in business, but nvidia has scooped up the whole table for this decade at least already.

And both cases are true at the same time. You can't simply ensure you're first, nor simply ensure you're not first. You want to figure out when is the time it will actually work, and try to be ready to go so you're first at that time.

enterprise is happy not to be fitst in this case because hertz jumped too early, but only because hertz jumped too early. If contitions were a little different (if the cars worked better, if the charging network was better, if the cars were cheaper, etc) it might have been a big win for hertz to preempt everyone else.

Another example is Tesla. They were not remotely the first to try to make evs, and all attepmts before them failed, and the conditions weren't right yet for Tesla either, but in that case rather than identify the right time and wait for the conditions to be right, Elon actively changed the conditions and made them right by building out the charging network. Now it's too late for everyone else. Oh everyone else will make evs of course, even better ones, but even if Tesla loses it's shine, it's already run away with the pot for years.

(I'm not an Elon or Tesla fan, this is just a thing that happened in the world.)

To echo this today I wanted to watch something on my vision pro so I was on the tv app on my phone, saw a movie I wanted to watch, and then after a good amount of time moved over to my vision pro.

Being the scatter brain that I am I forgot what the movie was, unlocked my phone and the movie listing view was there. In my head I was like “damn wish I could share this page over to my vision pro like I do for my ipad”

And that’s exactly what I did with Airdrop. The already existing way to share anything between apple devices. I would not be surprised if universal clipboard works as well.

> Garbage collection
This is a huge Yes now. Every language that's become successful since 1999 has GC and is designed for all normal users to use it to manage all memory. In five years, Rust or D might make that last sentence untrue, but even if that happens, GC will still be in the yes category.

Sorry, I had to guffaw when I read that last part about D. A dumpster fire of a language for garbage collection.

Endel – Personalized Soundscapes
Are these dialogs always rendered on top? I can imagine it wouldn't be too hard to perform some malicious high-risk actions (elevating permissions, disabling protections) and hiding the permission prompt by overlaying something a copy with something that sounds more benign.

You're not leaking credentials there, but if you can get the user to give away the right permissions, you don't need to.

On Android, where apps have the ability to draw on top of other apps (used for things like pop-out players and night light apps) it used to be possible to trick the user into opening their phone's settings and guiding them through a bunch of security options by overlaying a game and letting the taps fall through to the underlying app. This makes me wonder how well-protected macOS is against that kind of attack.
Wouldn’t it be cool if we could periodically trigger waves like this to refresh the brain and maybe require less (or no) sleep!

I can't find free access to the full paper, but here's the abstract (afraid I'm not knowledgeable enough to add to or explain any of it):

"The accumulation of metabolic waste is a leading cause of numerous neurological disorders, yet we still have only limited knowledge of how the brain performs self-cleansing. Here we demonstrate that neural networks synchronize individual action potentials to create large-amplitude, rhythmic and self-perpetuating ionic waves in the interstitial fluid of the brain. These waves are a plausible mechanism to explain the correlated potentiation of the glymphatic flow1,2 through the brain parenchyma. Chemogenetic flattening of these high-energy ionic waves largely impeded cerebrospinal fluid infiltration into and clearance of molecules from the brain parenchyma. Notably, synthesized waves generated through transcranial optogenetic stimulation substantially potentiated cerebrospinal fluid-to-interstitial fluid perfusion. Our study demonstrates that neurons serve as master organizers for brain clearance. This fundamental principle introduces a new theoretical framework for the functioning of macroscopic brain waves."

> Basically they've overspecified their datastructures and we're now paying the price

I strongly disagree, and I'm perplexed how anyone can describe fundamental traits such as object lifetimes of fundamental infrastructure such as standard data structures of being over specified.

Just imagine the shit show it would be if upgrading your compiler broke your code because std::set started leading your code to throw exceptions because they sneaked a major breaking change such as moving objects that should not be moved.

It's also perplexing how breaking backward compatibility is depicted as a perfectly acceptable thing to do to a major programming language while completely ignoring the ability to release code as a third-party library. If the new implementation of a std::set alternative is any good, people would be lining up around the block to adopt it. I mean,it's already a standard practice in game development to use custom data structure implementations with custom allocators. Why is this not an option, but breaking half of the world's code suddenly is?

Devtools is a hard sell but not impossible. Unfortunately Hashicorp didn't even try.

The reason selling devtools is hard is there's generally no established budget to sell into. I already have budget for various things - a vendor comes to me and tries to sell their product/tool/saas I'm looking what I can move around to afford it.
If yours does a better job of something I'm already paying for, then it's the easiest sell of them all. Eg why most companies have moved off of Pagerduty.

If the tool is small enough $/user I can probably afford it without too much trouble or approval - budgets have some padding and there's always some wiggle room, something to deprecate etc.

Unfortunately, Hashicorp like some other devtools companies was too proud and only wanted to sell Terraform to large Enterprise ($100k/yr). I'd have been happy to give them $/dev/mth but that was never an option.
GitLab is similar. Their pricing is either free or insane with little middle ground. I pleaded with a sales rep - I'm happy to stay on the free features but give you some money for "support" but they wouldn't take my money. Utter madness of a business model to turn down money.

To justify Terraform Enterprise ($100k/yr) I would need to get new budget. This could take a year. I need to get internal buy-in which takes time but there's no way to show the business the productivity gains until I'm using it. Catch 22.

What Hashicorp should have done is a near free version. Get people comfortable with running Terraform on the cloud and out of awful CI pipelines, then upsell features as their customers naturally grow (concurrency/security/training etc).

Having had paid customers would have given Hashicorp a mechanism to be able to listen to and get feedback on how their tools were actually being used and the pain points businesses had.

Thankfully we now have OpenTofu and the likes of Spacelift et al.

What a missed opportunity.

Adding to this: there are a LOT of anti-democratic laws on the books, put there by powerful people who don’t want us to have power. Legal efforts to fight those are worthwhile.

There’s also the strategy of building new economic tools that aren’t owned by anyone, via open source. That’s why I work on open source farming robots now. Building technology that can help people lift themselves up can reduce our reliance on the owners of the economy. When they put up roadblocks to our independence we protest, fight them in the courts, and build more tools to get around their control.

It’s a battle that never ends. There is no triumphant moment when everything gets solved - we need to educate, work, fight, and build. Philosophers have been writing on subjects of our collective economic well being for hundreds of years, and we haven’t achieved their dreams yet. But we can make progress one step at a time.

I would use this list to observe and play, not to emulate and aspire. It generally works better for someone with power to play the solidarity card with a "low" behavior than it does for someone without to attempt to play the authority card with an unsupported "high" behavior.

To derive the payload capacity of a self-landing ballistic rocket, we need to consider several factors and steps in the analysis. Let's break it down step by step:

Step 1: Define the Requirements
We need to establish the basic requirements and factors that influence the payload capacity:

Rocket Parameters:

Total mass of the rocket (M_total)
Mass of the rocket without payload (M_empty)
Mass of fuel (propellant) required for landing (M_fuel)
Specific Impulse of the rocket (Isp)

Payload:

Desired payload mass (M_payload)
Rocket Equation:

The Rocket Equation will be fundamental to our analysis:

...............
.............
...........
...........
..................
.............
............

So, with the given parameters, the payload capacity of the self-landing ballistic rocket is approximately 9,790 kg. This is the maximum mass of payload it can carry and still be able to perform a controlled landing.
Nvidia released consumer RTX 3090 with 24GB VRAM in Sep 2020, AMDs flagship release in that same month was 6900 XT with 16GB VRAM. Who is being restrictive here exactly?
So, if we could induce those brain waves we wouldn't need sleep? Maybe in the future our AirPods will have a "rejuvenate" feature which plays tones that cause sleep like brain waves to go through and clean out our neurons.

Probably not... I think our brains are like LLMs. We train them on sensory input we perceive over time, building up a data model that is unique to us. The models may generate similar results, but each person's brains are wired as differently as the raw binary data stored in ChatGPT vs Llama or Gemini. Thus the cleaning mechanism is probably unique per person as well.

But I don't really have a clue. It's just a logical inference.
Is that half life temperature dependent?
I can speak of Poland which had a discontinuity of 123 years. For most practical purposes Poland 1918 was not Poland 1795. It had none of the military alliances nor administrative obligations, just a new country out of nothing.

The only continuity was in the collective mind of people who identified as Polish and grabbed the opportunity to fight and (re-)establish their own country.

Now if you look at the continuity of ideas, it gets pretty philosophical so we could leave it to philosophers... if it wasn't for the fact that people use the ideas to justify wars. I don't have a confident answer for continuity between "being Polish in 1795" and "being Polish in 1918".

The paper shows a correlation between the observed ‘brain waves’ and the ‘toxin removal’. From the abstract:
‘These waves are a plausible mechanism to explain the correlated potentiation of the glymphatic flow through the brain parenchyma’.
I think the main objective of this paper is to justify more funding to explore this phenomenon, to establish causation (beyond correlation).
Sometimes the only way to win is to not play at all.

Breathe, be comfortable, speak at your own pace, listen carefully, speak clearly, think and take an extra breath before you act or speak out of passion. Be warm, be approachable. Keep your cool - don't let what others say affect your emotions.

These are all "high status" things that don't require you to care too much about whatever status games people are playing to score petty points. You can even choose to get out of someone's way if it makes sense and slow down a bit if they are in your way if that makes sense. Don't let all this status shit get inside your head - do your own thing, play your own game.

This lists r7iz at the top, and AWS says they run at 3.9 GHz. Dunno where this leaves the m5zn and x2iezn family (at 4.5 GHz), or even the z1d (at 4.0 GHz). Frequency isn't everything, but seems strange that they're not to be found in the table.
I'm getting at the fact that the head and neck are nearer to horizontal, not vertical.
