> On the other hand, it was a peaceful protest

If you’re talking about people occupying the office of Google Cloud’s CEO, and refusing to leave, that is definitely not peaceful. That’s an act of force and it is illegal, and would be an illegal form of protest even if it were a publicly funded space like a government building. Like I said - your political views don’t entitle you to anything - including an audience. These people are free to act in a civil and legal way to argue for their political views, like the rest of us, since they have that option available. But they chose the path of breaking the law because most people don’t agree with their views, and the rioters can’t accept that. Being ignored doesn’t make it acceptable to escalate to illegal rioting.
There's Nothing Small About Microfeminism
There were suggestions that the antimatter-matter asymmetry is because antimatter was preferentially segregated into a dense phase of hadronic matter, like quark matter nuggets. This would be interesting because if such nuggets could be found and captured, they'd be a potential source of energy by annihilation with ordinary matter.

Casey Handmer did a couple of excellent articles on this topic:

No really, space based solar power is not a useful idea, literature review edition: https://caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2019/09/20/no-really-spac...

You can get into the weeds of the detailed costings, safety, etc, but I think the clearest argument is this:

> The problem with beaming power using microwaves is that the monetizable value per Watt is incredibly low, because essentially unmetered electricity comes out of the walls of every building. The trick is to increase the value per Watt, by increasing the value and decreasing the power. The value is increased by modulating the microwaves with high speed data, and the power can be reduced by a factor of a million or so without hurting this method. Indeed, customers pay only for the data, and not for the transmitted electrical power, which is pathetically low at the receiver. Communications satellites remain the killer app for the commercial space industry

And then you look at the fact that almost every satellite communications company has gone bankrupt at some point. SpaceX with Starlink being a notable exception, but OneWeb which superficially looks pretty similar has already gone bankrupt once. If communications, which is many more orders of magnitude more valuable than power, is not enough to stave off bankruptcy, then there is no possibility of beamed power being economical without a commensurate improvement in the efficiency of space launch. And that's just a baseline as a necessary condition, not actually a sufficient condition for it to be a sensible business.
This seems like a thinly-veiled ruse to make me watch the 'Crush' ad for the first time. It worked.
> the ongoing growth in energy consumption

Per capita energy consumption has not been growing in developed countries like the US. It has been decreasing for at least a couple of decades. Total energy consumption has been increasing because of population increase, but that is expected to level off around the middle of this century.

> it becomes exponentially easier over time for one individual to monopolize the entire energy supply

No, it doesn't, because everyone else is also increasing their economic output. Assuming stable population, one individual's share of the energy supply remains constant.

with the move from `lein` to `deps.edn` it made local libs much easier to use. You can also push to your own github or pin to git hashes. It's all just incredibly easy - in a way that I haven't seen as smooth in a lot of languages (where there is more boilerplate involved). In effect it's just a extra namespace - but it's an namespace that's automatically shared across projects

You're probably right about websites etc, but working this way I just don't feel too concerned about dropping a project b/c the code will live on and get reused

Totally agree. Every decision on what context to put in a context window is “RAG”. Somehow the term was co-opted to refer to “context selected by vector similarity”, so presumably when people say “is RAG hanging around”, what they mean is “are vectors a complete solution”, to which the answer is obviously “no”. But you still need some sort of _relevance function_ to pick your context - even if it’s pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey. That’s “RAG”.

Doesn’t make sense to ask “will we still have to curate our context?” The answer is of course you will.

If the harvest is down 25% this year, the result is not that 75% of people eat the same amount of food as they do now and 25% starve to death, it's that the price of food increases and then the average person buys 25% less food.

A significant percentage of the world population is overweight. That implies not only that they're eating in a caloric surplus and could feasibly eat less than they do now forever, but that they could eat in a caloric deficit for a period of time and the result would benefit their health.

If production of food was temporarily low, people would not have to resort to eating foods that are expired, they could simply eat foods that are stored. The date on the can of soup in your pantry is two years from now, and you were going to eat it two years from now, but you can also eat it now.

Low harvests in one year can generally be addressed by the next year, for example by planting different crops this year that aren't susceptible to this year's problem, or planting crops in a larger amount of land area, possibly in another part of the world not experiencing the same yield issues.

The optimal amount of food waste is none.

In the case of China, it was too weak to fight off unwanted trade, it would have been a clear signal of strength if it had maintained isolationalism.

I have a Keuffel & Esser 4012 Thacher Cylindrical Slide Rule that I found in the garbage at a university I used to work for.

An old early 1900’s building was being cleaned out, and it was something that had probably sat on a shelf for years.

The crazy thing is why it was in the garbage in the first place…

The university had a strict inventory policy where anything with an inventory number had to be surplussed properly, whereas anything without one had to be thrown out as there was no way to prove it belonged to the university. And they apparently did not want to ever surplus anything (which lead to it being sold) if it was ultimately someone’s personal property.

The skepticism is strange to me. I think the ad is actually compelling enough that it's making some of us really examine the question of whether or not the iPad really can (or should) replace these things. Apple is making a bold statement, so strong reactions are expected.

I've known for a while now that I'm more creative with a 2H pencil and a sketchbook than I am on my iPad. I'm more creative noodling around on real strings than in an app. This has made me pause to consider whether I should ever again plug in my currently uncharged iPad.

> Poor people would still have colored clothing, because all clothing was expensive hand-made clothing back then, so the marginal cost of dying with the common plant dyes was relatively small.

Bret Deveraux has a fascinating, in-depth series about this: https://acoup.blog/2021/03/05/collections-clothing-how-did-t...

To summarize from what I can remember: it wasn’t even quite that clothing was “expensive”. You didn’t buy clothing unless you were absurdly rich. You didn’t even buy cloth. You bought raw fabric, usually wool or linen, and you had to spin it into yarn or thread and then weave it into cloth. Spinning was the vast majority of the actual work you’d do though. And by “you” I meant if you were a woman, because this was always considered women’s work. And highly respected as such, to the point where even wealthy high status women took pride in still doing it or at least claiming to, or at least other people claimed it of women they admired.

>That's a subsidy to purchase the car, not manufacture it.

It's a subsidy for the manufacturer, as the manufacturer sees you got a credit from the government, and simply raises prices accordingly. Done as a way to meet demand and ensure the manufacturer works for the money.

This is also fundamentally why college and house prices keep going up, as the government subsidizes student loans and mortgages, and so colleges and such simply raise prices.
not in the list was one of the "hybrid" touchscreens: the Blackberry Storm, with its touchscreen actuated by a tactile switch positioned behind the screen. I really liked the "tactile feedback" idea, but a single pushbutton in the dead center was tough to click when your point was somewhere in the corners

currently working on a 'tactile' flat keyboard with silkscreened regions on a circuit board corresponding to a typical keyboard layout. it uses specific rumble motors to bump the board at different intensities and frequencies when it detects a keypress, letting you emulate certain switches like "Model M", linear, 'clicky', etc., but I haven't managed to make the finger detection circuits/firmware reliable enough for a daily driver

riffing on the Storm's idea, i'm wondering if I can make the motors work double duty as detectors as well as actuators...

There are common RAID implementations that work pretty much how you want. The RAID spec only says that in RAID 1, any piece of data must be stored on two disks. Everything past that is implementation dependent, including limitations on disk sizes or excess copies in arrays with more than two disks.

In particular, btrfs's RAID 1 works fine with disks of different sizes so long as it's physically possible to get every piece of data on two disks (obviously an array made of 1x2TB and 1x1TB cannot possibly have a RAID 1 volume of more than 1TB, but btrfs will happily present a 2TB RAID 1 volume on top of 2x1TB and 1x2TB). Btrfs also lets you add or remove disks at any time, even while the filesystem is in use (you do have to wait for it to copy data around to other disks before you physically detach a removed drive). I believe ZFS mirrors work similarly, but I'm less familiar with them.

You should also consider using raid5/6 (raidz1/raidz2 for zfs) instead of raid1. They can still survive disk failures without data loss, but you can get your storage efficiency better than 50% with them.

I'm not aware of anything that lets you pick the raid level per-file though.
> I was strongly under the impression that medications with expiration dates do not become dangerous after their expiration, but they may be less effective.

A few like tetracyclines can become dangerous, apparently that's caused Fanconi syndrome and other kidney problems in a few cases. But that drug is the exception rather than the norm, but since I used to keep doxycycline around for treating Lyme I made sure it was stored in a cool/dry area and never got too far past the expired date.

Aspirin is a pretty easy one to tell if it's past its prime, it'll smell like vinegar as it decays into acetic acid. This falls into the 'loses its potency' category where the thing it decays into isn't harmful.

You're conflating the two types of nukes here. Tactical nukes tend to be just physically much smaller than strategic. They can be used in artillery, normal missile systems, mines, etc. For instance one defector even claimed that the USSR had developed suitcase nukes that they were stashing in various locations in the US, which would be easier than ever now a days. [1] There is no concept of deployment for these - it's simple and normal usage. When you speak of deploying, you're talking about strategic nukes. These are the absolutely massive weapons (both in terms of payload and also in terms of literal size) that are generally launching out on ICBMs. Russia has around 1700 strategic nukes deployed, and thousands of tactical nukes of all shapes and sizes.

All that said I do agree that this would result in mutual mass strikes with strategic weapons, and whatever tactical weapons may be appropriate for such a strike. This is why I think direct conflict with Russia, or Russia using nuclear weapons of any sort in Ukraine, is likely to escalate rapidly to what would be the defacto end of the world.

Inventions are great but they can only do so much to improve land use.

I don't think we even have a way to put one billion people to work on optimized farms. More labor won't lead to more full mouths.

As an example of costs catching up, going from 20% of land to 30% of land needing to be optimized farms used to feed people directly? That's easy enough, and those numbers would support more people than we have today. Going from 80% to 90%, however, is extremely worrying. And we could go from the former to the latter and past it very fast too.
