>A reasonable court would have directed the EPA to correct its process and given it a reasonable deadline, but left the ban in place

Since when can the court tell the executive or legislative branches what to do beyond "you must do this according to the law" and "you may not do this according to the law?" I have seen judges say in their opinion eg. for legislative issues things like "had congress written x law like this it would be constitutional" Which is clearly meant to help legislators. But I don't think the court can say "there is no law allowing the government to do this, but since that is what you meant/that is what is good we will allow it."

Increasing available leverage provides an immediate windfall to asset-holders. This is why our economy errs so heavily on the side of encouraging too much leverage: the world is run by asset-holders, for asset-holders.

The most obscene part of this is when asset-holders try to blame the problem on their victims (the people who must pay higher prices for the pumped assets). The leverage is not generosity, it is a curse.

Definitely not a win for consumers, who in aggregate lose out. The margins to make the system work are built into the prices you pay at the checkout.

Prices are a function of supply and demand. Higher interchange fees hit supply (costs more to produce and sell the same quantity of goods) but they also spur demand, or no merchant would accept the cards with these fees. And indeed some large merchants have (for example) excluded American Express or Discover from their available payment methods for just this reason.

In terms of power for an equivalent amount of storage the SSDs require much more (SSD and HDD use about the same amount of power). But you're talking transient spin-up power of course which is significant and might require an external power supply if you have more than handful of HDD. But you don't even need 4 HDD. The amount of money saved by an SSD average power draw versus HDD average power draw is insignificant and would not total up to anything even over the SSD lifetime (which is limited compared to HDD). Also, if you turn off the device and let the data sit without power SSDs' charge traps will leak and bit rot (like in an off-site scenario).

The physical space required is not significantly different. They're both small form factor things even if HDDs are 2 to 3 times the volume it's 2 to 3 times an insignificant amount. Plus you need only about 1/5 the HDD to match SSD storage.

Random IO bandwidth doesn't matter at all when you're putting it at the end of an ethernet connection to an rpi. You could certainly benefit from it if you put them in your actual computer though.

By cargo culting I meant the entire concept of NAS in the first place for home use. Just put the drives in your desktop PC and it'll be much much faster, much cheaper, and significantly less likely to break. The power cost of leaving your desktop on for the lifetime of such a thing will be less than the extra cost of NAS parts.
Since bluechecks became pay for, a lot of users renounced their bluechecks, not wanting to be associated with that. These folks and many others are waking up to find their bluechecks are back, without their consent.

X/Twitter basically had to do something, since one of the new perks of bluechecks is that bluecheck comments show on top. And these paid users are not the best. Are fairly often Musk-heads. This attempt at monetization has ruined conversation quality, and giving the bluecheck service away is an attempt to triage.

Yup, cash handling costs are significant when done as a service, they can be cheaper if you don't account for the time and risk (of both theft and forgery). Banks in the UK typically charge about 0.6-0.8% to pay cash in for large companies, and even more for small ones, and very few locations will take cash.

However nothing beats that sweet sweet tax evasion that cash allows.

Honestly I don't even know what the "top 10" is or how its measured and have never met anyone in my life who listened to top 10 stuff. It's always HR office radio, mechanic radio, the bar, club, etc. Even the most normal people find stuff they like on youtube and listen to that.

Even if the AI music is extremely good, it's just missing the fact that it was made by a person, which changes the experience entirely. I think we're more likely to see musicians and those top10 artists leverage AI without explicitly saying so.

I expect we will have a daft punk moment where someone is using exclusively AI and later unmasks that it was all AI, and as soon as that happens the music is disconnected.

Same with AI art. I can see something and be duped and go "oh wow!!!" and as soon as I know it's AI the caring leaves my body completely and reverence and interest is lost.

The section in PA that follows a few rivers before climbing the eastern continental divide is quite lovely, and is followed by a similarly lovely section along the canal to DC.

Crossing the midwest by bike is never going to lovely, no matter what direction you choose, and west-to-east at least shifts the odds of tailwinds slightly in your favor.

Some possible mitigations from the top of my head (maybe ineffective):

- warn prominently on hidden elements

- randomize the number of enclosing div, on both incoming and outgoing

- compute what the forwarded message would look like on forwarding, ask for confirmation if differs significantly. Or do the opposite (probably more effective since doesn't require other clients to help)
Just to note, Plandex also has integration with git on the client-side and can automatically commit its changes (or not--you can decide when applying changes).

One of the reasons I think it's good to have the plan version-controlled separately from the repo is it avoids intermingling your changes and the model's changes in a way that's difficult to disentangle. It's also resilient to a "dirty" git state where you have a mix of staged, unstaged, and untracked changes.

One more benefit is that Plandex can be used in directories that aren't git repos, while still retaining version control for the plan itself. This can be useful for more one-off tasks where you're not working in an established project.
It would be truly fascinating information but yes in our current level of innovation and maturity, totally bonkers.

It's totally a thing to have trades pegged to US politicians' investment choices, because they often have the knowledge not available to the public to make "better" (financially) decisions.

As per your first comment, this is generally the difference between an active and passive investor which usually works out to someone who owns about 10% of any given company. It's probably a little too high as it isn't hard to imagine a cabal of 11 wealthy tax dodgers playing games with the reporting requirements.

I believe most laws getting enacted which are addressing corporate secrecy are primarily targetting the active owners of companies and usually unnamed beneficiaries who have a benefit to the company/trust who aren't specifically owners, who can reap the benefits of the company's assets without strictly their name of the deed so to speak.

Again, most of this revolves around what is asked by government officials for auditing and less about what information is being dumped into public information.
Disagree. A mortgage is responsible debt, if you plan to live in the house for 30 years why not pay for it over that timeframe? And the house itself will usually appreciate if you take reasonably good care of it.

Zero-down, no-income-no-credit-check mortgages, OK yeah those were a problem.

I assume they use garden variety MOSFETs like 2N7002, which cost a few pennies when bought in bulk.

The gate capacitance is 20 pF. One logic gate output is typically driving several inputs, so the typical load is several-fold of this capacitance. One could check the schematics for the maximum fan-out in the real circuit. The longest, one foot long traces on the PCB add another few tens of pF. So the capacitance seen by an output of a logic gate will probably be in the range of 20-100 pF most of the time. But it is the slowest gates which determine the speed of the whole circuit, so the worst case could be much worse.

These transistors themselves are extremely fast and can switch on and off in about 3 ns. Their channel resistance is in single Ohm range even at the lowish gate voltages, so the RC time constant is also very small 100pF * 3 Ohms = 0.3 ns. Thus this is also not an issue. The slowness of the circuit comes from elsewhere.

First, from the resistors which pull the logic gate outputs to the supply voltage. There is one for each logic gate, so a total of one thousand of these, and in the first approximation half of them conduct at any given time. To keep power consumption low, these resistors must have relatively high resistance values. If we limit the current for the logic to 1 A total, that is 2 mA for each of the 500 resistors. Therefore the resistors must be 2.5 kOhm for 5 V supply voltage. Thus charging of the nodes of the circuit through these 2.5 kOhm resistors is almost a thousand times slower than discharging the same nodes through the 3 Ohm channel resistance of a fully open transistor. Still, this is not too bad -- on the order of 250 ns of delay per gate.

But the frequency for the whole circuit is determined by delay not through just one, but through many gates in series, plus there are probably parts of the circuit topology which are not optimal for implementing them with discrete transistors, where the delay does not follow from such a simple reasoning as above.

The speed can probably be easily increased by an order of magnitude if one were willing to spend 50W instead of 5W for the circuit. Beyond that, one would want a CPU circuit designed specifically for implementation in discrete transistors, not a discrete element copy of a monolithic chip.

>In an alternative world, Hertz could have become _the_ EV rental company if they turned every rental office they have in the US to a fast charging center, and told customers "Look, just drive this thing and dont worry about returning it at a certain charge level". Such an action could have actually had a positive impact.

I think you just demonstrated exactly the thinking that got them into trouble. EV rental business, turns out, has superficial benefits, but major underlying issues. They failed because of the basic economics of EV rentals: maintenance costs and depreciation. Also, there are massive challenges with building out a charging network as well. And yes, they pretty much have to give the option to customers to not return car fully charged, especially business customers. For business, taking 15 minutes to tank up is reason enough to overpay for the option to not do that, and that's 15 minutes - for EVs, charging up is a 3 hour exercise. Who would sit at a charging station for 3 hours (so now you need to be 5-6 hours before your flight at the airport?)?

They become asset holders on worse terms. Now they must maintain their predecessor's degeneracy to simply not lose money. If they want to gain money, they must figure out how to impose even more degenerate terms on those beneath them. Ratchet goes click.

Eventually it implodes. People who got in early on the ponzi walk away with windfalls but the last generation is the largest generation and it gets to hold the bags.

I was going to chime in to second this. In a former life I worked on power towers and we had designs for air receivers that would potentially work really well with this type of system:

- High temperatures
- Intermittent solar input not a problem
- tall central structure (?? maybe a plus given the paper's tall storage vessels)

But high temperature air receivers have their own problems, mostly around receiver material properties (thermal cycling / stress) and heat loss. It's really hard to focus a lot of light from the sun into a tiny aperture, because the sun isn't really a point source, and no mirror is perfectly shaped.

In this case "the conventions of the art world" refers more to technical concepts like perspective, composition, color theory, etc. In this way, outsider art is distinguished from naive art. I personally think the distinction is flimsy, but humans do like to create these kinds of taxonomy. Folk art is another similar, but somehow technically different genre of art.

It has less to do with the people in the art world: gallery owners, agents, critics, etc. Artists who meet the definition of outsider artists had their work shown in the traditional way, like Grandma Moses, Horace Pippin, etc.

Back when I was publishing a magazine in the 90s, I preferred credit card payments over checks in the mail because while there was the 3% vig for the merchant account on the credit cards, taking piles of checks to the bank was a pain and there was always the risk of a check bouncing (yes, there was also the chance of a charge being reversed, but in the whole time I did this, that only happened once—selling subscriptions for a print product is a good hedge against fraudulent use of cards and the one time I got stung it was someone who bought a big pile of back issues and had them shipped to Hungary). Add in that credit card orders could be handled by phone or internet while checks had to come in the mail and it was a clear win. And that’s ignoring the multiple studies that show that credit card purchasers at brick and mortar retail tend to spend more money than cash purchasers.
The dishonest piece is that the first part talks about why Rust doesn't help with the JIT (true) but then really talks about the V8 sandbox & hardening techniques they're applying to it where Rust would help 100%.

> However, assuming these numbers are simply stored as integers somewhere in the JSObject, an attacker could corrupt one of them to break this invariant. Subsequently, the access into the (out-of-sandbox) std::vector would go out of bounds. Adding an explicit bounds check, for example with an SBXCHECK, would fix this.

Or use Rust

> Encouragingly, nearly all "sandbox violations" discovered so far are like this: trivial (1st order) memory corruption bugs such as use-after-frees or out-of-bounds accesses due to lack of a bounds check

Or use Rust

> Contrary to the 2nd order vulnerabilities typically found in V8, these sandbox bugs could actually be prevented or mitigated by the approaches discussed earlier. In fact, the particular bug above would already be mitigated today due to Chrome's libc++ hardening

Or use Rust

I'm not saying rewrite the entire thing in Rust, too expensive & would introduce new bugs in the JIT for questionable benefit. But at least mention that & also discuss the technical challenges why the sandbox mechanism isn't written in Rust & what it would take to address those.

Look, I'm not saying the V8 team is making the wrong decisions. My questions are an indication of the shallowness of the blog write-up - why not explain some obvious questions that come up for someone who reads it?

Predicting market cycles is next to impossible. Both retail and institutional traders often make terrible decisions based on media noise. Even people with seemingly better access to information act on emotions and an illusion of being knowledgable - like Elon Musk who lost $140 mln trading Bitcoin. Our approach is not to worry about market cycles, but to leverage actionable data that is possible to extract from the market. We focus more on making use of Bitcoin's volatility and certain repeating patterns in price action to maximise our client’ returns.
