Pickup hour is a concept that does not exist in countries with reasonable urban planning. It's self-inflicted harm.
No, it states that wrangling _can be_ encoding. It does not in any way state that Wuffs is actually _good_ for it at the current stage, and I do not know of any nontrivial encoder built with Wuffs, ever. (In contrast, there are 18 example decoders included with Wuffs. I assume you don't count the checksum functions as encoding.)
It's a discrete CPU. This is how processors were made before microprocessors. Before 1970, we had discrete component mainframe machines, in fact running at multi-MHz speeds (e.g. CDC 6600).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDC_6600

60 bit, 10 MHz processor, introduced in 1964.

Article says that was 10 times faster than other contemporary machines; but that still leaves those at around a solid megahertz.

Discrete logic circuits can be fast because they have a lot of area over which to dissipate heat and can guzzle current.

How to hack the Jacksonville Jaguars' jumbotron
Looks like it’s not very competitive at low bitrates. I have a project that currently encodes images with MozJPEG at quality 60 and just tried switching it to Jpegli. When tuned to produce comparable file sizes (--distance=4.0) the Jpegli images are consistently worse.
> since neighborhoods are not allowed to screen prospective buyers on an individual basis, using building restrictions and high-prices is the blunt tool available for limiting influxes from populations that have much higher rates of crime.

Let's translate.

"screen prospective buyers on an individual basis": neighborhoods cant deny certain people from having housing

"limiting influxes from populations that have much higher rates of crime": gives the first paragraph defines black people as a population that has a higher rate of crime, this is pretty much explicitly saying "building restrictions are a tool to limit influxes of black people".

The parent comment is agreeing with me.

> same math could probably be done for sustainable stewardship of our oceans, just with more steps

Could it? We can measure the cash flow the Statue of Liberty produces relative to its commodity value. A pristine deep sea certainly has value. But it's difficult to argue that every square inch of it is more valuable than the commodities on and below it. Particularly when you start trading off extraction there against terrestrial mining.
I think it's a bit different: property tax taxes the actual property that is located on the piece of land, i.e. single family home, for its current value. Land value tax works differently: tax authorities ask themselves a question: "what is the most profitable thing one could possibly build on that land?", and they tax you based on that. Which means that if you build a single family home in the neighborhood of 7-stories apartment buildings you will be taxed as if you owned an apartment building. And the only way for you to be able to afford those taxes is to actually build 7-stories apartment building there.

EDIT: I know I'm simplifying a bit. The actual tax laws might not be worded the way I described it, but the net effect is exactly this: you are taxed on the potential resale value of your land, which is highly dependent on "what's the most valuable thing that can be built here?" question.
In my place (a large city in Europe) there is no parking for schools and only a handful of parents sometimes come with cars, presumably because they drive on to their workplace afterwards. Most people by far come on foot, the rest with bicycles (in my case, for some reasons we didn't pick the school closest to us so it's about 5 minutes away by bike, 15 minutes by foot).

In my home country (more car-centric, but still in Europe) many cities now close the school streets to cars during drop off and pickup hours.

I'm thinking maybe your place has much fewer but larger schools, so people cannot simply come by foot to the school. It's economically more efficient, but I don't think it's better for the children.
But if the main problem with industry is that it leaks then maybe you do still have to reinvent it.

Selfishly, I'd love a documentation review if you (or anyone else) has the time to take a try out some golang projects I've been working on.

The code is frankly not very polished and not worth reviewing, but I'm curious to hear feedback on the documentation / README and whether or not you clearly understand what these libraries are for and how to use them.

Odds are decent that if we ignored climate change it would cause billions of people to die and create massive disruptions in the lives of those who live over the next several centuries.

It would only be catastrophic, not existential. We should work hard to reduce the risks and mitigate the impacts, but the species will go on even if we ignore it.

And, almost everything is getting better faster than anyone predicted. There's a strong case for climate optimism, and a future that we can improve by continuing to take action and put in the hard work of fixing the world.
companies don't have any right to privacy
Also, the idea is to make it heavy enough to neutralize the incentive to just hold the land, which is clearly not productive yet still lucratively "compensated." It's a highly regressive tax. The original highly regressive tax, as can be seen in some of the terminology (landlord) even if the details have drifted since.

I think there's far too much wiggle room in the analysis of land-value vs improvement and would strongly prefer a solution that moves away from perpetual ownership and towards revolving leases instead. The way to do this non-coercively would be to gate the enormous tax benefits we bestow to real estate windfalls (1031 exchanges, the $500k exclusion, the 15% and 20% capital gains rates) behind conversion to a 99 year lease. We won't see the shade beneath those trees but our grandkids will.
The schools are not located in places that have walking access, so that's a "subsidy" unavailable to anyone.

Policy rather than technical issue. US has first amendment, other regimes do not. What will the moderation policies on that instance be? How nazi or porn does someone's post need to be to be "censored" where in this case it is actual censorship since it is a govt managed instance. What degree of promotion by govt constitutes propaganda? How much energy would be wasted litigating these arguments. Just completely infeasible from policy standpoint for a US govt entity to operate a public publishing platform.

[edit] And yes, a Presidential candidate owning / operating / profiting from / accepting laundry and bribes on / such a platform is- should be- completely unacceptable.
Just for my own edification, why would there be any trouble compiling portable high-level libraries to target WASM?
From the brief research I did trying to validate your claim, it looks like there's a second feature you can opt into that tracks transactions similar to a budget app. But as far as I can tell that's a distinct thing from the payments part.
No, sorry that was a typo, of course it's yearly (the $20k is not for tech pay but average wage for the entire population, tech would be 1.5-3x more)
Definitely, I'm very interested in doing something along these lines.
Russia, China, and North Korea too -- at least two of those have tacit if not open approval to target Westerners. I get the sense that PRC is more constrained and less willing to suffer the consequences of hosting random hackers but Russia especially is just lawless as long as they're not targeting Russians.

I'm more interested in who donated to the George Wallace campaign.

And frankly, if revealing that sort of information to the public means less donations, I'm pretty fine with that as an outcome. The fact is, corporations can buy politicians/judges and that's a way bigger issue than the privacy of millionaires.
I don't work in enterprise sales or nothing, but it seems to me that businesses whose only price tag is "call us" are the ones with the most revenue. Transparent pricing is great for SMBs, but the big bucks are in making yourself entrenched in giant enterprises.

That tech will be a long time coming for any current EV system. The Tesla batteries weigh something like 1400 lbs, building the machinery to manhandle those loads reliably is a major undertaking.

Of course, there is a chance that between smaller, lighter batteries (with less range) and 5 minute battery swaps we could cross that bridge.

Increasing the safety margin by waiting for sodium batteries to mature would also be smart.

Maybe 20 years from now we'll have a decent system in place.
No disagreement here, but the question is how to escape the world we're in, not just dismiss it as someone-else's-problem.
I agree making something bad easier is bad too. But does AI make the bad thing easier here?

I see two cases here. One is that the AI has some non-negligible accuracy, and one where it doesn't. If it's somewhat accurate, then actually, using it is saving civilian lives, attacking only the active enemy.

And if it's inaccurate... Then presumably whoever made it knows it, and whoever uses it knows it's merely a fig leaf for shooting random people, and is ok with that. Is it then worse to kill random people as found by an AI than to drop a bomb somewhere, because you have a hunch there might be a worthwhile target there? This is the bit I'm not sure of.

In this war, it's so easy to find the other side. If you want to recklessly shoot civilians, they are just on the other side of the wall. I'm not sure that AI makes it any easier.
Hi. When I click on your resume, it goes to a dead link.

You can run the trucks on liquified natural gas. Or run a natural gas power plant next to the Terraform module that can charge an electric truck's battery.
There was a time in living memory when a young adult could expect to buy a house straight out of high school and pay it off in 15 years.

One thing comes to mind: don't transport it. It's sitting right next to a solar power plant...one that shuts down at night. Why not store the gas locally and use it as a battery when the sun isn't shining?
""This assault on human creativity must be stopped," they write."

This is only relevant "if you are a human".1

Why would so-called "tech" companies launch an assault on human creativity. They are intermediaries (middlemen) that sit between the artist and the audience and conduct surveillance and sell online advertising services. They produce no art or other "content" themselves. Artists like the ones in the article can sell recordings and/or concert tickets. They have something to offer that people will pay for. But what do so-called "tech" companies have to sell, except online ad services. Most people in the world have paid money for music but how many have paid money for an online ad.
IIRC another aspect was that the fault-line that did Feb 22 was underneath the Port Hills, and the volcanic rock deflected the energy towards the city.
> If cities were for people instead of cars, you could walk to the neighborhood childcare/school.

I think that depends on where you live. In my neighborhood, we do walk to school. But, that's certainly not possible in every neighborhood. I have friends that live near stroads of fast-moving & distracted vehicles. They don't walk to school, understandably so.

Lol I'm from the south where practically everyone has to have one...

Why "everyone has to have one"?

I dare say that "everyone" really don't know --- but they still want one.

In other words, "everyone" has been brainwashed by marketing and peer pressure and convinced to ignore their own reality and buy something they don't really need and can't really afford.

And leading them like cattle to slaughter, the auto industry has been laughing all the way to the bank.

But reality is persistent and refuses to be ignored for too long.
From what I can tell from documents like [1], the Laser 128 was very similar (possibly even identical) to an Apple II on a hardware level. It'd have the same issues running at a higher/lower clock speed than it was designed for.

> what matters is what the people in the field making the decisions knew at that moment

This is insane. What matters is the objective truth, whether or not dozens of preschoolers were killed due to an operational mistake.
That's not true. The UN themselves state that their numbers for Ukraine are likely severely undercounting the total casualties simply because they don't have any insight into what is going on in occupied territory. They do not give "estimates" for Ukraine, the numbers are what they have been able to confirm. So for you to call that very specific number an "estimate" is incorrect - which should probably have been self-evident.

>> The U.N. human rights mission in Ukraine, which has dozens of monitors in the country, said it expects the real toll to be "significantly higher" than the official tally since corroboration work is ongoing.

There are more than 10,000 fresh graves in the city of Mariupol alone and many of them appear to contain multiple bodies - which was the case in other graves uncovered in places like Kherson and Lyman.

https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-erasing-mariup...

The actual civilian death toll is almost certainly in the tens of thousands, not a singular ten thousand.

Also consider the death toll caused by the withholding of medical assistance to those who refuse to take Russian citizenship, and the flooding caused by the destruction of the Nova Khakovka dam.

Kidding aside: That's the whole point. This is a project that can work without retooling infra all over the world. It's a drop-in replacement to get to carbon-neutral fuel.

This solves problems right now, with limited investment. This isn't about perfection. This is specifically about "works right now, cheap, no impact on the surrounding infrastructure".

(Also, strong doubts on "we'd use hydrogen instead", because storage is a beast. Until that's solved, there is no chance we'd use that)

As a player of a game (Overwatch) that simulates ragdoll physics locally and non-deterministic, I wish they did it correctly.

What ends up happening is someone dies and their body flies off or gets stuck in a hilarious pose... and no one else saw it, nor can you rewatch it in the replays as every client renders it differently.

Unless you catch it with a live recording then it's lost forever. With a sometimes goofy game like Overwatch it's sad knowing no one else is seeing it.

Is someone who points out black populations have a 10X to 30X higher crime rate inherently an immoral racist?

Is any policy -- even if prima facie race neutral -- that tries to limit higher-crime-rate populations from moving into a neighborhood inherently racist and immoral if said policy has a disparate impact on black people?

My friend no longer send his kids to his local playground because the young men at the local scattered site public housing project were engaging in crazy shoot-out in the playground. Is it morally wrong for other people in the city to observe this and then oppose a housing project in their neighborhood? What is the moral thing for them to do? What policy do you actually suggest for keeping crime out of a family.

Starship is _required_ as part of the TLI trjaectory to refuel SLS with cryos. NASA will keep flying SLS however, to demonstrate to the public and congress that it was not setting a pile of tax dollars on fire.
LH2 as a fuel was a mistake, high ISP, but well, the turbopumps, plumbing, valves, etc, not to mention REFUELING LH2 ON ORBIT to replenish evap.
Starship imho will lapse SLS in the next year or two. From a perspective of demonstrated spaceflight capabilities per unit cost, it will lapse it the first time Starship makes an uncrewed flight around the moon and re-enters a capsule that is recoverable with a human survivable water or land landing. Key qualifier there is per unit cost.
Point is, Starship lapses SLS once it matches demonstrated spacelfight capabilities on sheer demoninator of cost.

The best part about using nuclear for fuel generation is that you get to sidestep the biggest problem with nuclear - when you build a power plant you want to build it near people (who may object on safety grounds), but you can build a DAC fuel generator way out in the middle of nowhere.

Even better, you could build your nuclear DAC fuel generator in an old natural gas field, where there's ready-made transportation infrastructure for your product to where it's needed!
