> I think the main point was that it is bad that Germany produces less energy over the decades

And I think the counterpoint is that all sorts of processes are vastly more efficient nowadays, so less energy isn't necessarily indicative of bad things. If a factory switches to LED lights, more efficient machines, installs a few solar panels on the roof, starts using electric golf carts for people to move around the factory grounds, upgrades their computers to modern ones, implements smart switches so that everything is really cut off at night, etc. their electricity consumption will be drastically down... and that doesn't mean there will be less output.

I'd second this.

I'm actually the type of person that you'd want, but I'm not looking for work.

You want someone that can deliver product, and that type of person does not grow on trees. Experience will be the main factor. Maybe not as old as I am, but I have known a lot of folks in their late thirties and early forties, that have the requisite experience. These folks are the ones that are finding themselves frozen out of the job market, these days, and would probably be open to the relatively unstructured environment of an early startup (when, previously, they were not, but mortgage payments have a way of opening us up to compromise).

Unless, of course, your "product" is the company, itself. In that case, someone that plays to investor preconceptions may be more along the lines of what you want.
They might be. They've been struggling to deal with the threat from Airbus for a decade or two now, and that means there's less of a guarantee their capital allocations to commercial planes will produce a profit.

There's still quite a few brass in the US military who came of age in the immediate post-Vietnam era and remember the BUFFs being the core of the US bomber fleet, and will subconsciously favor Boeing over anything else. That means a better (though not guaranteed) likelihood of winning a contract.

The issue is, a lot of their offerings for things like tankers, AWACS, general transport, VIP transit, etc. are based on airliners.
'Winners and losers' as global warming forces plants uphill
The finance organization of a firm is plenty capable of recognizing high-risk projects have strategic value. Apple spent a decade failing to build a car while being run by an operations expert blamed for pushing compromises to the design group and a famously stingy CFO.

Engineering orgs are totally capable of giving up on engineering without any pressure from outside functions. You can’t build a clean sheet plane because MIT grads want to live in New York City? Is that serious thinking? No.

I have Starlink. I'm 12km away from a town that has cable internet, but the only wired connection I can get is dial-up (fibre should be available in about 2 years: https://www.ontario.ca/page/ontario-connects-making-high-spe...).

Previously I subscribed to a local ISP that only supported 5mb/s, then one of the large Telcos (Bell) offered a 4G wireless internet, but it only had 100GB cap. With the overage charges I incurred the cost was greater than Starlink and then they oversold the service so it was nearly unusable from the time the kids got home from school until about 9pm.

Starlink has been rock solid for me, it's been well worth the money.
pyenv only manages python versions, while poetry manages dependencies and virtual environments. They are complimentary, but do not overlap.
Agreed. I've always had a good experience with Delta. The only flights I ever remember having issues with in 30+ years were on other airlines.

I do appreciate that Delta doesn't fly Max, and I also don't fault them for swapping planes from Airbus to Boeing on a particular flight. If I really care enough I'll have to just drive.

Nope, if you follow the link I posted you will see many of them are listed as "Quad display via MST" as in the multi-stream transport in the displayport (not displaylink) protocol. The dock I'm using supports Quad display via MST (1x hdmi, 2x displayport, 1x thunderbolt 4 pass-through) and it was launched back in September of 2021, 2.5 years ago.

That being said, some of them do require displaylink so definitely make sure you're being careful when shopping.
I mean, most of them are hosting "locals" as in residents who live in Barcelona. I just took a look now and there are at least 90 apartments available on Idealista for rent in just the ~3 surrounding blocks around Sagrada Familia.

So while in general the whole "touristic flat rentals" stuff is clearly hurting the city, maybe over-dramatizing the impact isn't super useful. Overall the situation sucks though, as prices seems to still go up :/
You didn't have books in school?
Probably a bit, but there is only so much juice to be squeezed out of the efficiency stone and it's hard to squeeze. It takes time and money and wherever the math penciled out comfortably it already happened. If drops in energy consumption happen quickly, deeply, or on a budget then it's probably demand destruction, not efficiency gain.
Define Roman.

I see a strong and continous cultural and political link from Rome to the Church of Rome to Charlemagne and on through the various duchies and unified provinces to get to the modern European state that I live in today, in and old Roman settlement just below the Rhine delta.

I live by customs and laws rooted in Roman practice. Much more so than I do live in any way resembling the ways of the people who lived here before their arrival, or the ways of the people who lived in my native land before the arrival of the Catholics of Rome.
I partook in that discussion on the tech side and the divide was extreme.

I think it boiled down to “can a company have a monopoly over a platform they’ve created if that platform itself isn’t a monopoly”.

I won’t reiterate my argument or my viewpoint on that here since it’s already in that thread, but that was the takeaway I got.
The Atari 400 and 800 are interesting to me because they had a different video architecture from most of the other computers of its generation. Most systems of the day had a simple frame buffer and/or “tile” system where the tiles are defined by a character ROM so you could draw an A to the screen by writing a 65 to the right memory system. Some systems (like the Apple ][) could work in a split screen mode where part of the screen was bitmapped and another part was text but this was an exception instead of the rule.

The Atari machines on the other hand had two chips that worked together to prepare the display data which meant that you could choose a different video mode for each line which gave developers a lot of flexibility and reduces the display RAM requirements for a machine that launched with just 8k of RAM. (For instance if a horizontal line was all one color you did not need that frame buffer line; if you wanted to do horizontal or vertical scrolling that could be configured by setting the offset of where scanning starts)

Lots of stray dogs around here in south of Spain. Also when I used to be a 12y old cycling in rural france that was pretty much the same, I was always prepared for a sprint whenever I would reach a farm.

In a sense it probably made me stronger but I can't say I build a friendship and a mutual sense of confidence with dogs.

Tiny Corp Changes Course yet Again with Plans to Offer AMD Radeon GPUs
Definitely a high trust city (Vienna), but note that a few times a year they do check for tickets.

Because the monthly pass rate is so low, most people have purchased the pass on their phone and that must be shown a couple of times a year or else you’ll be charged a fine at the checkpoint. I’m actually surprised that the evasion stats are so low, since the fine isn’t terribly large and you might come out ahead just never paying the fare and only paying fines.

I have to say though, that system of spot checks makes the day to day very low friction.

The article mentions an `append` operation which is obviously not commutative; does that imply memcached needs a separate "appendable" string type? Of course not. Memcached only guarantees that the individual operations are atomic, it's the client's responsibility to avoid race conditions between multiple operations.
I have to say, I am not convinced by this article that async composes better. The nice thing about green threads/fibers is you can make concurrency an internal detail: a function might spawn threads internally, or block, but the caller is free to use it as any other normal function, including passing it to a map() or filter() combinator.

By contrast, async forces the caller to acknowledge that it's not a regular function, and async functions don't compose at all with normal code. You have to write async-only versions of map() filter() and any other combinators.

Maybe async composes better with other async, but with threads, you can just compose with any other existing code.
I wonder if it might be cheaper to send up a manoeuvrable "refuelling drone" to rendezvous with each one and top-up the fuel supplies. (The satellites would need to be designed to allow this, of course)
Exactly. Nimbyism at its finest: all gains are mine; all losses should be covered.

It's bizarre that at the same time, real estate investors think all value increases are rightfully theirs, but they should be protected from any decrease in value.

You can hardly call it 'investing' if you're protected from the downsides.

There is no way they can go back to engineering leadership. An engineer focussed CEO would do some spring cleaning and the board isn't going to vote someone like that in.

This is me as well! In college, I once met my professor for lunch and I knew he had a matching taste in music and I listened to a lot of music and was excited to meet someone with an eclectic taste like me. He promptly asked me my favorite bands and I couldn't think of a single one! It's become a recurring nightmare of mine and something I still struggle with today: I can't just reach in and grab a memory, it has to be associated with something that triggers it to be pulled back up. I don't have any kind of list functionality and that extends to todo lists, chore lists, family/friend lists. Even when I finally find something that ties into what needs to be listed, I lose track of where i am in the list before i can get even 3 items listed...but start talking about some interesting history, philosophy, psychology, science and I will recall vast sums of knowledge. My current job in project management is a perfect fit for me because i mostly respond/react to changing business priorities and my recall of history is super useful in that context. When I have to start in a new area or new feature, I rely on my stakeholders to get me lists of pain points and I can then apply my skillset to mold it into a refined vision for development.

Also, big tip: don't be afraid to say you need someone to remind you of things; as soon as someone broaches the topic, my mind goes to work and my recall is activated. You'd be surprised how often others are just waiting for that overview again to get back up to speed.

FPV drone view of Shanghai Tower, tallest building in China
I wasn't underwhelmed per se (the thing is mind-bogglingly huge).

I just was on one of those "middle aged friend couples go to Europe" trips. Most of my world travel has been solo, and I like to briskly walk around for miles and miles and just see how the city is laid out. "Slowly shambling around cathedrals" was much of the trip, so I was frequently irritated on that trip, particularly so at Sagrada Familia as it must have been the 12th cathedral we shambled around in 3 days.
> Germany's energy production is below 1970s levels and their per capita figures are in a grim state [0].

Usage and harvesting has become significant more efficient in the last decades. And the changing climate demands for less consumption in certain areas. Outsourcing of lower levels of production has likely removed a significant amount of consumption too.
Ironically the Sagrada Familia is an example of modern architecture.
Already checked that and have some data for it, just hoped getting people positions is such a typical usecase someone would have done a better model than I could here
This is either amazing satire or the most Hacker News comment ever written.
Finance is just very refined engineering. There's good and bad engineering, depending on the trade offs. Usually in finance the contrast is short vs long term profit
Looking at the surrounding building of the Sagrada, just makes me wonder again, what the hell happened to modern architecture.

Modern architecture has destroyed our cities. It's hard to find a building build after WO2 that's actually pretty, let alone an entire neighborhood. Nothing compared the historic cities of Europe.

In a time when it's cheaper then ever to build, they've not been able to build anything even close to pretty. The best they do is a bad copy of old style.
I agree with your other points but the first point misses the mark. Even you specify a format, you cannot use the file for exporting data between systems and organizations if they don't all agree on that format.
CSV does not have a reasonable way to encode that is using a specific spec. I can open your data with my tools and silently misinterpret it. But if you are only exporting data between yourself, that's another story.
Where are all these doing it right examples? All I've been able to find are pay walls for bogus classes and endless lists of things like "I want you to act as a garbage collecting AI expert, you know how to collect all kinds of garbage".

I did not, in fact, make that point.
maybe they have more of a desire now than they did in the past, or maybe they are finally in a place in life where they're able to.
Even older homes, compared to the average US home is highly insulated.

I live in an Apartment building from 1964, got doubled sided windows, and during the winter I do not need to turn on any heating on 98% of the days. And the quality of housing there is no difference between owning and renting....

Now even the worst insulated homes, are not that far off. Sure there are some very very bad apartments for rent, but those are in the minority.

sure not many can afford an EV, but there is also a large part of the population does not own a car at all, because of public transit which is a way better reduction in the energy requirements per person. There are even a lot of people that own a car but go to work using public transit.

> I wonder how often the opposite happens, and model designers have been able to successfully identity that "in order to do X, we need capabilities A, B and C, and in order to get capabilities A, B and C, we need new datasets P & Q" ? In a hypothetical case like that they'd have been able to measure progress towards capability X.

As far as I know before transformers that just didn't happen at all since models couldn't contain that many separate skills without them interfering with each other. This whole thing with models having many high quality capabilities is still pretty new.

But yeah, I think we need something like that and all the best LLMs today probably already do it, but none have said what they do so that is just speculation.

Yes, a lot of models and plans Gaudi created for Sagrada Familia were incomplete when he died. It didn't help either that his studio(s) were ransacked during the civil war, so even if he had a 100% vision, the war would ensure those plans didn't survive.

The more safety and expressiveness layering between JavaScript and actual programmers writing code, the better; bonus points if it's a Lisp. Even if just to eliminate JS's weak-typing nonsense. I'm surprised the government hasn't put out warnings about continuing to write so much web software in JS, but I guess TypeScript exists and modern browsers are fairly well sandboxed.
The USA is not in a position to criticize… All of the computers are made abroad. I doubt banning Huawei will solve anything, if a foreign power has decided to inject malicious instructions into the hardware.
> Energy security AND national security. It was insane to build an economy on natural gas from a country with a long history of imperialism and autocracy, but Germans did it anyways

This is hilarious because absolutely the same argument could be applied to most of Europe getting closely integrated economically with Germany through organisations such as the European Coal and Steel Community, European Economic Area, European Union. Germany is a nation with a long history of imperialism and autocracy, why did they do it? Was France stupid to risk depending on a country that invaded them thrice in the last century?

The general hope was that economic integration will lead to closer relations and liberalisation in Russia (like it did in most of Eastern Europe). It sadly didn't happen, but it wasn't that out of the question.

> The US was begging its NATO allies across the Atlantic to have a more skeptical view of Russia for most of the 90s and 00s, not just 10s, and concerns were brushed off as the ramblings of unsophisticated cowboys

Yes, because the US was doing this even when Russia was on its best behaviour, so it really really looked like nobody in the US had remembered to update the "who to be scared of" instructions. Now they have and they won't fucking shut up about China, which is annoying, same as it was back when it was about Russia.
I couldn’t see how to get the code to show in the shared link myself.

I had the same type of feeling. Sagrada felt more like a zoo / tourist attraction then an actual religious building. The design is impressive but it didn't bring the uumpf that Duomo did.
Depends on what you want to scale. Memory, CPU and disc scale well. High concurrency can become a problem due to the 1 process per connection architecture. Keeping latency low between your app and db server and understanding how and where locks are used helps. So far I have used and seen it being used in pretty big companies successfully in a single instance (+ standby) setup.

They showed us, in details, how their core business model is all about capturing personal data and resell it to various buyers.

That's a whole other thread. The new Rent Control law has hurt (a lot) long-term rental for locals and long-term residents. All offers on Idealista and other portals are for contracts of up to 12 months, short term rentals under Spanish Law. Those are not rent-controlled contracts.

In my part of Eixample there aren't any long term units available.
“Very refined engineering” sounds like a made up concept. There are a handful of top hedge funds which operate like high-functioning engineering firms, but a portfolio manager who speculates that an industrial firm can’t bring products to market because of nonsense like where engineers want to live is absolutely not in that class.
