This is weird complaining about old people dying at 85/90 as opposed to 65/70.

The solution to the social security burden is not to get rid of old people but to make them live longer and healthier lives, the more the better, preferably indefinitely youthful. Then you don't need social security.

> cheap as dirt

There are lots of things left to make grid battery storage cheap.

As well as the cells needing to be engineered to be cheaper, there are lots of changes to the battery packs that can be made, together with changes to inverters.

For batteries, I'd like to see research into less consistent manufacturing and higher failure rates. Current packs the entire pack is unusable if just one cell fails in a way that leads to lots of heat production. If pack balancing circuits had the ability to take a cell or a parallel group of cells 'out of circuit' while still using the rest of the pack, then battery lifespans could be dramatically increased and it would be possible to manufacture cells far cheaper.

For inverters, we should go for a direct-to-10kV inverter process. No transformers. At 10kV, currents are far lower and therefore wires can be far thinner (and cheaper).

Consider making batteries ~15kV too - that reduces by ~30% the amount of expensive silicon needed, together with big reductions in copper costs, at the expense of extra design effort for much higher voltage batteries. At these higher voltages, you'd either use oil cooling, or you'd have ~10 separate coolant loops, one at each ~1500 volts of potential.

> The EMR, and therefore most note-taking, is not as value add to the patient

Since patient’s medical histories are relevant to treating medical issues, having quick access to accurate medical histories is a value add for the patient.

Just the simple fact a pharmacist does not have to decipher chicken scratch to get people the right medicine is a value add for patients.

My family chooses to frequent doctor groups that integrate with the local hospitals’ EMRs because it allows the hospital doctors immediate access to all the information they need in the event of an emergency.

Relative to the amount of money and research that has gone into antidepressants over the last four decades, they have performed very very poorly with respect to their intended goal. They are not highly effective for most people, and even when they do help people, there are a large number of unpleasant side effects, including sexual problems, weight gain, and fatigue, just to name a few (also, feeling fat, tired, and impotent is a great way to continue being depressed). Many commonly-used antidepressants also cause mild to severe withdrawal systems when people go to stop or change medications.

So the reason we have people exploring psychedelics is not wishful thinking, but a reflection of the fact that we don't have effective treatments for depression that help most people, which most doctors will freely admit off the record.

The British and French and Europe generally denied the entire world self-determination in that time period: literally every state surrounding Israel is the product of Sykes-Picot, just as one instance. Horrible ethnic violence and subjugation has been in endemic in all of those states. Israeli Jewish people, who are themselves plurality MENA people (contrary to the popular narrative that they're all displaced Europeans), correctly notice that they're the only ones whose residency is invalidated by appeals to the British.

None of this is to say that Israel's treatment of Gaza is defensible; rather, just to point out that you don't have to pick at the history of the region to make your case, especially because doing so isn't going to help you make that case.
> For many hundreds of years

Oldest Palestinian dynasties are from around 18th century. Notice that calling them Palestinian is a stretch since they rarely had a unified identity as a people.

Jews started coming back to Israel en-mass in the 19th century, well before the British arrived. They bought land and at its peek owned a significant amount of land privately.

> which was almost 100% Arab

This is very false. If it was true Israel would have lost its independence war in which not only the Palestinians but also the surrounding countries attacked. Furthermore, notice that those Arab countries didn't give the Palestinians a country despite holding the west bank and Gaza. Neither did the Muslim Ottoman empire.

> He's the only person who's been banned from campus

Many were locked out. Many spoke of fear to come to classes. Half the people in the encampment in NY weren't even students there. Professional agitators from outside the campus were guiding the students on maximizing their impact.

E.g. https://nypost.com/2024/05/01/us-news/professional-protester...

Here's a professor talking about violence and intimidation towards Jews on campus: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/education/2988097/...

There are quite a lot of these testimonials but they don't appear as prominently in the US media as they do on Israeli media where people feel more comfortable to speak out. There's claims that "Students for Justice for Palestine" are really cover organizations for terrorists just like BDS. There's a lawsuit of Oct 7th victims aimed to unmask them.

> Yosef Hadad isn't a student. He's a professional pro-Israel campaigner who went to campus, started yelling in the faces of protesters, and then got shoved by one of them.

So that's OK? He's a Muslim who came to help break people out of their distorted reactionary mold and got attacked.

> On the other hand, there have been plenty of assaults on pro-Palestinian students.

See how that starts?

See why these things are useless. Everyone plays the victim here. Palestinians have been playing the victim for a century. It made some sense in the past. But hasn't made any sense since the 90's. Right now they need to grow up and settle. Hamas is keeping a redundant conflict going because it refuses to accept the right of Israel to exist. It's delusional and you're part of the reason it keeps going.

While someone might be able to execute this safely, the risks and intensive processes and need for additional resources fall totally on you to do so properly compared to say a Tesla, Siemens, or ABB. Should anything happen, you will be blamed in practice no matter if you made something wonderful that even a megacorp could sell. Furthermore, many municipalities require permits for these installations and would be unlikely to sign-off on something homebuilt regardless of careful craftsmanship. While I applaud the spirit and effort, it's almost like putting together your own solar, grid-tied automatic transfer switch: sure you could satisfy your own requirements, but the external world is unlikely to certify your work because of insurance and liability reasons no matter how much care and consideration you put into the design, fabrication, installation, and maintenance of it.

PS: I sympathize that the world hates almost everything fun or cool.
I much prefer the "homepage" model over the "blog" model. A blog and the ecosystem around blogs has an implicit need for constant content. Blogs are typically displayed by feed readers sorted by time. If you don't post for some period of time your content will fall out of view. If blogging isn't your main interest it's fucking tiring.

A homepage can feel finished. You build some pages around your interests and can stop. You don't need to be a "blogger", you can just share your interests. A homepage doesn't even need tending. It can just be a self contained thing. You can constantly update it but you don't need to.

Unfortunately Google punishes any content that wasn't published recently. In order to just be found by most people you have to jump on the content generation treadmill. It's commendable when services like NeoCities bubble up existing content to new viewers. Same with Marginalia which does a good job finding content based on your search terms and not the fact it carries their ad network and claims to have been updated in the last nanosecond.
> "Culture war" matters are pushed by the ultra-wealthy (and the politicians they own) in order to distract us all from our real enemy: the ultra-wealthy.

Even if that's the case, it's important to note: those matters are not manufactured by the ultra-wealthy.

> If we're too busy arguing over trans kids or abortion or whatever we can't fix the fundamental problems that are letting these greedy people extract our wealth and take advantage of our labor.

But personally, I think the "culture war" is mainly the result of the self-undermining tendencies of urban liberalism. It can't do anything about the ultra-wealthy because, while it can identify them as a problem, it simultaneously pushes dis-unifying cultural changes that prevent action on it.

And I'm not even sure how long it will keep identifying the ultra-wealthy as a problem, given how its losing the working classes (e.g. working class whites swung to Trump in 2016, and now working class minorities are starting to swing the same way).
I'm not sure if anybody is framing them as victims here. It's not wise to frame the rain as the oppressor because it falls on your head, either. They just exist because of reasons. I don't think anybody here thinks it's good that they exist. The GP just pointed out that "why?" is important question. Maybe the most important and it should be answered with research and intelectual honesty, instead of just "because evil exists".

I haven't tried it, but looking at the code, it talks to xdp to setup the screencast session and then gstreamer with the pipewiresrc to record it. It should work on any compositor with an xdp implementation that supports the Screencast protocol. KDE's does.

I'm not sure that's a good reason. C++ doing it is questionable to begin with, but at least you can understand how a bad idea might have made it in many years ago when we didn't know any better.

> it also probably makes things like serialization easier.

It would, except you would never want to serialize the product of an enum as it means your program becomes forever dependent on the structure of the code. I mean, sure, you can remove the enum later if you are to change the code, so you're not truly stuck, but that kind of defeats the purpose. You may as well do it right the first time.

Enums are inherently unsafe. That you have to be explicit about converting the union to an integer at least gives some indication that you are doing something unsafe. It is not so unusual that Rust allows some kind of "escape hatch" to get at the actual memory. What is interesting, though, is that it also allows manipulation of what values are assigned by the enumerator as a first-class feature, which suggests that it promotes this unsafe behaviour. This is what is surprising and what doesn't seem to serve a purpose.

Ah, I wasn't trying to say those were the only two options, or that either was what you were suggesting. I also typically prefer other things.

I just find that "always squash the entire branch" is a common reaction to "history is messy" and I wanted to surface that (per my understanding) it doesn't actually improve the situation (vis-a-vis bisect in particular, assuming you're passing the correct arguments for your situation) over merging (no-ff, I neglected to specify...) branches where some of the commits do not build.

> Exactly what machine in this machine shop was powered on and off every day with nothing but a breaker? They had to bring in a specific guy every day to turn on the machine in the morning and off at night with this breaker, but he's not there all the time? They just left it unattended for lunch breaks or had none? And there's only one guy? There was no other power switch? That passed code how? Or you're claiming the machine shop operated 24/7?

I was an auto parts guy, I didn't work for the machine shop. Also this was over 20 years ago. I have no idea exactly what machine it was. Also I specifically mentioned that the machine had broken, which most people understand to be an unusual state of operation that isn't a typical (especially daily) occurence that happens on a schedule. This is an abnormality in operation. It doesn't need this breaker flipped normally, so you could have answered several of your questions just by reading a little closer what I had already posted. I doubt it was "one guy" in total who could flip the switch (I've never heard of a union of only one person, and I specifically mentioned that it was a union who controlled ability to flip this switch, but given your question I'm guessing you have heard of one-person unions), but that day they were waiting for "one guy." Usually you don't have to send out a whole team to flip a breaker, so "one guy" is usually sufficient. Overall, I trusted that they weren't lying to me. Sure they could have been. I don't see why they would, and I saw those guys often since they ordered parts multiple times per day, so we had a somewhat friendly relationship, but if you want to believe everybody is just lying everywhere then you are free to do so. That would help keep your ideology in tact. The unfortunate side-effect that your blanket support includes defending utter absurdity need not bother you, so carry on.

I have no idea where this idea of chinampas as floating gardens came from but it’s an enduring myth. Floating gardens using soil are practically impossible - the displacement required to keep enough earth floating for a root system is massive.

The chinampas worked very well because the Aztecs had a large labor force cleaning their latrines into the lake where it would decompose into night soil and later be dredged up to refill the chinampas between growing seasons.

Once they were built up within the underwater stakes, they planted Ahuejote and Ācātzin trees along the edges and corners whose root systems kept the islands from eroding away.

One extremely sad example is the libraries of brass matrices for hot metal type --- all-too many of these were melted down, mostly to make shell casings by various accounts.

After the war, it was necessary to re-create said type libraries, mostly as phototype though, thus ending a golden age of printing which had reigned since Gutenberg, eventually, the Linotype and Monotype machines followed this into dissolution when digital type became prevalent.

While most designs were eventually remade as phototypes, and later as digital type, many of them were only imperfectly preserved, so for example, rather than all the different hot metal sizes and variations, only a single phototype master usually exists, capturing only the state of a single size (usually a larger display size).

When qualifying a new semiconductor process, it is common to do "schmoo" testing, that is to intentionally drive the process steps away from nominal temperature, vapor pressure, doping levels, process times, etc, etc, in order to characterize the expected yield with variations from nominal conditions.

When my wife was in General Mills' Betty Crocker division, it was common to characterize the behavior of a new cake mix formulation under varying conditions to account for inaccurate measurement of added liquids, variation in the size of eggs added by consumers, variation in home oven temperatures, variation in cook time, consumers adding milk instead of water, etc.

I found the parallels fascinating.
