And it would be more or less irrelevant that they didn't, because the massive amount of information made voluntarily available for free on the internet vastly outweighs the initial few centuries of libraries' existence by several orders of magnitude.

It's actually harder to do synchronous floppy I/O on the Amiga. Data transfer is done over DMA, then you perform MFM decoding. The latter can be done by the CPU, or, asynchronously again, by the blitter, in which case you can't use it at the same time for graphic operations.

Compare, a Nabokov imitation about high speed rail written by Claude:

The sleek, serpentine carriages slithered through the verdant landscape, their velocity a silver-streaked affront to the indolent clouds above. Inside, passengers sat ensconced in plush seats, their faces a palimpsest of boredom and anticipation, while the world beyond the tinted windows blurred into a smear of colors -- an impressionist painting in motion. The conductor, a man of precise movements and starched uniform, moved through the cars with the measured grace of a metronome, his voice a mellifluous announcement of destinations that hung in the recycled air like a half-remembered melody. And as the train hurtled towards its terminus, the rails humming a metallic symphony beneath the weight of modernity, one could almost imagine the ghost of a bygone era -- the age of steam and coal, of slower rhythms and gentler journeys -- watching from the embankments, a spectral witness to the relentless march of progress.

I think this is a much better imitation.

We still don't know much about vitamin D supplementation one way or the other. Most of those large studies were badly flawed in that they gave rather arbitrary fixed doses to subjects rather than titrating doses to hit target blood levels.
One thing to bear in mind is that we may have a partial or total cure for aging within a couple decades, and that’s going to change the calculus here significantly.
Anecdotal, but I had psoriasis and I accidentally got rid of it. I moved into a new flat and, due to the state of the kitchen, ate junk food for a few days, then went the other way to eat anything but junk food. After a week my skin got better in many ways and I realised that I had quit sugar. So I decided to make a streak of it, for thirty days. Thirty days came and went, with added sugar removed from my diet. So I still eat fruit, which is fine to enjoy, but absolutely no added sugar enters my home under any circumstances. Sweeteners are banned too, even honey, because that is probably sugar pretending to be honey.

As well as the psoriasis there were other skin blemishes that I had always had, yet they had gone.

No added sugar means I always have to home cook, from single ingredient foods. There were a dozen other health gains and just moving is so much nicer these days. I haven't any time for scales, tape measures and so forth, but my belt does not lie.

I would highly recommend that you do a trial of not eating added sugar if you have the misery of psoriasis and have been given creams that don't work and have assumed it is vitamin D for that to work for a bit. I am no doctor and my experience is anecdotal, but this has to be the best thing ever for my skin.

Regarding the article, my skin feels naturally moisturised and I have no body odour to speak of. It turns out that sugar is really bad for the skin and I am wondering if it is this sugar in everything we eat that is the problem rather than the sun when it comes to protection from the sun.

My view is that suncream only makes sense if you eat a lot of sugar, and that restored skin, with no added sugar, is much more resilient. This summer I am going to put the suncream away and see if I die of skin cancer. Well, that is an exaggeration, but my view from ditching the added sugar is that the sun is not the enemy but sugar might be.
It has to do with UVB rays, rather than UVA rays. UVB rays only show up where I live from mid April to around October. Other months of the year, the Sun is too low in the sky and those rays bounce off of the atmosphere. The closer you are to the equator, the more yearly coverage you get of UVB rays.
This is a badly written article. It doesn't even get the university's name right.
Mindblowingly poor argumentation.

a) No disentanglement of growth factors. Economic growth tied to expansion of consumer base is slowing for demographic reasons and more crucially, key markets in the knowledge economy are demand saturated - attention economy for example is not growing - it peaked in the pandemic and outside of policy intervention, there’s very limited growth potential.

b) Failure to spell out the transformer as machine that prints machines. The transformer extracts the rules of creation from the corpus of human created labor results and automatically produces the replication function. The technology may be in its infancy, but it will only improve.

c) Historically adjustment for new job creation has operated on a multi decade timescale, complimentary to the often massive infrastructure needs (wires, power plants, distribution infrastructure) but this technology does not have those requirements. The app stores, fiber lines, machines, API platforms all exist. Adopting products can happen in months. The loop from science to product is months (see vision transformer)

d) Do I spot trickle down economics? Are we gonna invoke this boomer level of delusional narrative for the next 20
years again despite the iron clad metrics showing it’s wishful thinking to appeal to certain ideological positions rather than grounded in any kind of reality. The gains from operational efficiency will become stock buybacks, yachts, macadamia
chewing cows and vanity dildos flying to space.

Appealing to history is all fine and dandy, but one has to spell out the divergent core conditions to have a serious conversation - this article feels like faith, not well reasoned forecasting or even science fiction

Riverdale features a character whose (incest-having? Probably.) brother is murdered, who becomes a leader of a bow-wielding vigilante club of women (this is not the only vigilante club in the show, mind you), whose grandmother becomes inhabited by the undying spirit of an ancient witch (also this character is herself a witch), whose family estate was built on a mine full of ghosts and also the mine contains lots of palladium which her Russian spy parents try to use to build a bomb (oh also she kills her dad and burns the mansion down early in the show but it’s fine, they just rebuild it and also there are alternate universe shenanigans), who gains fire-based superpowers and destroys a comet, who keeps her dead taxidermied brother around in a shrine-room (when he’s not alive again for whatever reason)… and that’s like 20% of the insane shit that happens with that character who is not even a main character. There are characters with way weirder sets of events in their biography. Also she’s in high school and a cheerleader, because why not? I think maybe she saves one of her lovers from the afterlife, too.

It’s nuts. If that sounds awesome, I assure you, it’s not, nothing ever matters in that show. Fascination at its commitment to a particular way of being terrible, and a little bit of joy from trying to describe the show to people who haven’t seen it (often they think I’m making stuff up) is what got me through.

I get that Lost is a show with a lot of problems, but this is a show dedicated to having a lot of problems. It’s swinging for the fences of having-problems. It’s astonishing. It’s… an achievement? It’s terrible. It’s the inverse of a miracle that it exists.

They are working on the tech, not rolling it out.

To answer your questions:

1) Capture stations will be setup wherever the people who license the tech or purchase equipment want it to be setup.

2) The easiest way to guarantee the electricity used is Green is to only plug the equipment into Green electricity sources. Which makes economic sense too if you can afford the initial outlay. Plus it means you can sell your methane as a Green fuel without being put on trial for fraud, a bonus if that is a better market.

Yeah it’s very odd to me that people are so shocked that there’s a labor shortage when the whole boomer generation is retiring at the same time. I did a high school report on it in 1998; this is not a surprise. We all knew it was coming (or should have known.) Too much money chasing too little labor production equals inflation.

Legent: Open Platform for Embodied Agents
Hey there thank you for taking the time to respond. I have a few questions:

The sign up process is surprisingly difficult and doesn't appear to be working.

The CAPTCHA is VERY thorough. I couldn't seem to get it to agree that I was human. When I finally solved it, the submit button is hidden (you have to scroll for some reason).

When I enter my phone number it prompts me to enter a code that never arrived. When I click "I didn't receive a code" the app sends me back to the CAPTCHA (lol). I complete the captcha again and request the code.

I went through this process three or four times before I gave up. This seems like an ongoing issue[1]

Does the app have many users? Any users?

The last blog post on the NewNode site was July of last year.

According to the App Store there has been three minor updates- 3, 9 and 12 months ago. No notes on the updates.

Does NewNode have a road map?

I couldn't find any write ups about the app anywhere. No press coverage.

So, why did FireChat close down?

Edit: I just completed 10 CAPTCHAs in a row.

I got a response from NAG:

> Unfortunately, using the NAG Compiler on GitHub runners would require a major change to our licensing software.
>
> Please be assured that we do not view this issue as unimportant, I am sorry that our position was miscommunicated to you in this way. We are actively considering alternative options for licensing but are not yet in a position to implement the necessary changes.

Although it is still unclear what will happen and when anything will happen if ever, it seems that we have made some progress compared to the previous response:

> our developers do not view this item as important where our product(s) is concerned.

So it is not hopeless now. I hope I didn’t need to bring this problem to the community (in addition to communicating with NAG), but publicity did help.

I think the mindset is like, we've done a bunch of development, let's sell it to deliver some value now rather than wait for it to be perfect.

> However, it is going to be hard to leave the PNW because I love hiking and backpacking.

I'd argue that the desert southwest is a great place for hiking though you obviously have to plan around the extreme temperatures. But the mountain ranges tend to be significantly cooler and a viable option in the summer. The big downside, more for backpacking, is that you either have to: carry all your water, stash water ahead of time, or refill at springs that may be unreliable.

The term "evolved" has really evolved over time.. it used to mean genetic changes that were carried forward through natural selection, even if it's actually pretty hard to find any positive genetic changes at all in modern history, let alone those that are passed down to progeny. However, now the term simply seems to be a catch-all for any change at all, including just "adaptation", or natural selection without genetic changes.

> There's two ways to make money: bundling and unbundling

This is pretty obviously wrong - you can sell things to make money, in a way that requires neither.

Now, the problem with bundling itself is that it introduces market distortions. The way that free markets work is that producers make things, and then buyers buy the best thing based on its price and other factors. Bundling impedes this process because it means that consumers no longer buy the best goods based on their individual price and merits.

Plus, bundling is usually used by monopolistic companies to anti-competitively extend their influence from one market to another, in a way that doesn't allow the market to work.

Usually the proposal is massive solar arrays, and maybe only producing during daylight hours to avoid battery costs, and spreading the upfront build cost over the solar array's lifespan.

Pulumi engineer here. We did, as an experiment (and labeled it thusly), but we believed we’d have much more control over it than we have. After we began hearing these reports, we began taking them down. The vast majority have since been converted to return HTTP 410 with noindex directives, yet Google still hasn’t responded. It’s been frustrating for us also.
Here’s an interesting thought experiment: let’s say you work hard your whole life, you pile up a million dollars in cash, which you hope to retire on.

However, tragedy strikes and your pile of cash catches fire and it all burns.

But, your government is very accommodating, and they don’t worry- we know you really saved it, we’ll just print you some more.

But in that case, why store it at all? Why not save the money you spent storing it, burn it now and get some printed later?

What if the whole economy does that? What is the actual value of stored wealth? And does it make any sense for the government to have a “social security trust fund”? (No! It’s meaningless. Might as well just print the money later)

Well, you hope to exchange it for goods and services.

Goods and services performed and created by your children. So you’re laying claim to their labor.

But what if there aren’t enough of them or they don’t really like this deal? What happens then?

Well, we know really- the answer is inflation. Too many dollars chasing too little labor power. That’s why blaming inflation on Biden is absurdly silly. It’s a demographic effect that we’ve known was coming for decades. It’s not a surprise.

Why do you think the longer running money printing program, quantitative easing, didn’t increase inflation?
Yeah, there needs to be more emphasis on server-side frameworks in general; preferably, built from the ground up with dynamic front-end interactivity in mind. Maybe they integrate HTMX or similar in a way that allows you to write everything as components or modules that can be seamlessly rendered as a collection in the context of assembling a full page when needed, or individually when a partial/dynamic update is required. So, that code is write-once.

I think these are beginning to emerge. But, bonus points if these were abstracted in a way that it's the same framework (idioms, APIs, etc) and you could just choose your preferred language.
