The ship left port weighing 112,383 metric tons (ship+cargo). Travelling at it's loaded full speed of 16.8 knots, that comes out to be about 10.6 GigaJoulese or 3 Megawatt-hours of kinetic energy.

TNT has an energy density of about 4.2MJ/kg. So the kinetic energy of the Dali at full speed is equal to about 2.5 metric tons of TNT.

According to the report, the Dali was running at slow speed, which is 10 knots, giving "only" 0.7 tons worth of TNT in kinetic energy.

Granted, ships operate in a relatively low friction environment, so you do not need that much power to get it moving. However, modern shipping vessels are massive.
This is plausible, Elon is a fantastic recruiter and he recruited Ilya for OpenAI. There are reports of xAI buying enormous numbers of GPUs and Elon's level of control of his companies means that Ilya recklessness isn't an issue.

It's a match. Probably the best match possible.
Sorry to hear it's not only a problem here in the U.S. Ideally, our intersection wouldn't have dedicated left turn arrows at all, since it doesn't need them most of the day. The problem arises only about four hours a day. At those times the otherwise empty thoroughfare turns into a wave of cars making it impossible to enter or leave our neighborhood street by turning left because there's rarely a large enough gap in the fast-flowing traffic.

Traffic engineers probably have a term for this kind of bi-polar intersection. A solution would be some kind of "conditional left arrow" but there's no such thing (at least here in the U.S.) If there's a dedicated green arrow for left turn, then there's a modal left-turn red arrow along with it. It should be possible to improve all scenarios by standardizing something like a flashing yellow arrow to mean "okay to cross if no oncoming traffic" since this already works as the default behavior at intersections with no lights or lights with no left turn arrows.
There's a magical math operation called DCT (discreet cosine transformation) which can turns things into dust (frequency domain) and back (spatial domain). So you DCT a woman and you get woman-dust. If you DCT the woman-dust you get the woman back.

So what you do is DCT a cat to get cat-dust and sprinkle it on the woman. It's hard to see the cat-dust but if you look really closely you can see it (upper left corner of the image). We now have a dusty woman.

Then you DCT the dusty woman and get a dusty cat! Look in the upper left and you can see the woman-dust. Apply the DCT again to this image and we're back to the dusty woman.

Just apply DCT all day long to swap between a dusty cat and a dusty woman!

You must be wondering why does this work? It's due to the properties of dust and human perception. When we DCT the woman and cat you'll notice most of the dust is in the upper left corner. That's where all the heavy dust is. It's fine to lose the lighter dust further out or even add more dust out there since most of the weight is in the upper left, the DCT will get you close enough.

This kind of spam was already destroying the web before LLMs came along. Now it’s being accelerated by thousands of times.

Mainstream web search is probably cooked. Kagi and other niche players might have a chance if the fact that they are not beholden to advertisers lets them introduce features to do things like downrank content with ads. Kagi has “small web” which I think includes this in its weighting.

Open social media is probably cooked too. In the future it’s going to require proof of human identity and will be more heavily moderated.

The future of social is closed forums. Even those are really having to fight bots though.

The other pervasive awful trend of the moment is everything becoming like John Deere tractors: cloud connected, DRMed, with subscriptions and/or planned obsolescence.

Capitalism is supposed to reward people for creating value, but today it seems like it’s far easier and more profitable to just extract rent or scam. I am not sure how to fix this.

I have been using OVH since 2005. Still waiting to loose my data.

Uptime wise I had 2 outages last December with one of my server with them (electrical issue). Prior to that I don’t even remember, maybe in 2018 or something. Thankfully I had no server in Strasbourg, I saw pictures of their containers datacenter there and decided to choose Roubaix.

OVH is great if you need a lot of bandwidth. Servers price are no longer as competitive as before.
Agree.

Of all the negatives, I think diminished sleep is the one that doesn’t get enough attention.

I think you need to quantify "very wasteful". Quite frankly it's actually just fine. Totally fine. Especially when the alternative has turned out to be massive Docker images! So the alternative isn't actually any better. Womp womp.

An actually elegant solution would be a copy-on-write filesystem that can deduplicate. It'd be the best of both worlds.

Try using KOReader instead of the built-in reader software. It's a bit faster (doesn't wait to reflow the entire book if you change fonts, margins, orientation, whatever), and also it's easier to achieve consistent rendering of books (fonts, spacing, etc.) as it supports overriding the stylesheet, and just generally handles HTML/CSS better.

Oh, and speaking of responsiveness, I found that it depends on temperature a lot. E-ink apparently has a sweet spot at room temperature, but when I use the device outdoors, in either sub 10 ˚C temperatures or over 30 ˚C the screen changes noticeably slower.

Hearing isn't the same as understanding. When someone responds with points that don't really connect to the original argument, it's sensible to repeat yourself in case the other person didn't understand.

You really don't understand how systematically lying about fossil fuel's role in climate change for 50 years makes big oil *directly* responsible? Yikes dude.

> Show us any non-profit communist economy with a better environmental track record

The fact that they lied and committed unthinkable damage to us all for profit doesn't have anything whatsoever to do with communist economies. Your thinking is extraordinarily disjointed. It seems to be built of naughties AM radio talking points that don't all quite fit together.

Such confused thought is a sadly predictable consequence of how big oil's decades of FUD has poisoned the discourse, and warped vulnerable minds.

Buddy they put our species in massive harm's way, just so they could keep profits rolling in. If they weren't tight with our politicians and media they'd be in jail, or worse.

They're the cause of unimaginable suffering already, with far more to come. Stop defending them, for the sake of literally all life on the planet (excepting maybe cockroaches and tardigrades). We have very little time to fight back and save ourselves the worst of it - about 2 years according to most every climate scientist.

Google has an incentive to keep these links going. Google makes money by you continually returning back to Google. If you get the prefect result on your first click, then you move on with your day.

Each time someone visits one of these content farms and returns back to Google, then it is more advertising dollars for Google.

I'm glad you brought inheritance up! This rule has solved it nicely in my experience: if a struct is linear, then it can only inherit linear interfaces. And implementation inheritance works because it's really just a combination of interface inheritance + composition + method forwarding, none of which seem to have any particular trouble with linear types.

Even if a language really wanted to have linear types in reference-counted objects, I don't think we'd see cycles in practice. Generally, for a reference-counted object to contain a linear type, we'd need exactly one reference to be the special "linear reference" (think a linear flavor of unique_ptr) which has ultimate responsibility for "consuming" (albeit not deleting) the contents. Making a unique_ptr cycle is much harder than making a regular RC cycle, so I'm not too worried, even if it is theoretically possible.

Re: trivial moves, I'm not sure what you mean. The system works through the entire program, not just local variables. Also, the `onException` method would also handle panics. Hope that helps!

I’m sure I would have a different opinion if I was around for the consumer South Africa boycott and feeling like that succeeded

but nothing remotely close to that has occurred in 30 years and trade is more interlinked as not to really affect countries the same way even if it did occur

with that in mind, how I feel is that harboring that sentiment requires having major blind spots about all the other places you do business with. and the disdain is 100% misapplied to other people or your employer. For example, its one thing if its the Prince’s investment fund, its another thing if its a random private equity fund or private office in Saudi Arabia. The boycotter’s broad, cognitively negligent, generalizations seem far more insensitive than the person disregarding their complaints about human rights abuses.

> Instead, they're a product of Eink Holdings, Inc. From what I remember, most of the screen refresh algorithms etc are Eink IP. And by the way, the cost of the display module alone was eye-watering

Layman here, but what you describe sounds very much like innovation held back by patents:

At the core, it’s really promising tech with actual major advantages over LCDs with applications already in many domains and possibly many more in the future; all you’d need really is incremental improvements, similar to the journey of LCD. Remember the shitty TFT(?) monitors from 20 years ago? Ghosting, low resolution, delay, low contrast, backlight bleeding, etc.

If we hypothetically had 20 companies competing the traditional way, throwing international manufacturing and material science know-how on these bad boys, I’d bet $100 that we’d see massive gains in ability at a fraction of marginal cost – from incrementalism alone – way before you reach physical limitations. And with a bit of luck, there might be a breakthrough in the core tech as well.

> It's kind of a physics based fundamental limitation -- the display is closer to a mechanical display of old than an LCD.

I hear you. But brilliant people have been wrong about these statements in all kinds of areas before. Could you share more detailed what those hard limitations might be?

And he was fired for this. Too crazy even for RT.
Anecdotal of course, but even when I accidentally ran over a squirrel I _immediately_ noticed. Running a _person_ over and _dragging them_... well I think I would realize.

Obviously this is some serious arm-chair speculation so take it with a grain of salt.
Because:

* Developers like to be on the latest-and-greatest distro, and rarely perform builds in a chroot. Sometimes this is sheer apathy; other times it is because backporting library dependencies is annoying.

* End-users can't even be assumed to be on the latest LTS.

Related, almost nobody understands `rpath` and why it should always be used instead of static linking (assuming normal dynamic linking doesn't work of course). There's some common FUD going around but unless you're a setuid or similar program it's not actually true (and even then, it's only an issue with some uses of rpath).
Its probably the nostalgia talking but a lot of the early magic was the art as well. It was professional enough to look good but not so polished that it didn't have its own character. I had favorite artists and it was always fun just admiring the art.
The new cards just don't capture me the same way. Something about them is too polished or too homogenized. They don't leave any room for imagination. I feel the same way about D&D artwork as well. No surprise that both D&D and MTG are owned by the same parent company.

astral-sh/uv [1] solves versions with PubGrub [2], which was written for Dart: [1] https://github.com/astral-sh/uv [2] https://github.com/pubgrub-rs/pubgrub

uv's benchmarks are run with hyperfine, a CLI benchmarking tool: https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine

astral-sh/rye was mitsuhiko/rye, and rye wraps uv with "fallback to unearth [resolvelib] and pip-tools": https://github.com/astral-sh/rye https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2024/2/15/rye-grows-with-uv/

So, TIL it looks like rye for python and pixi for conda (python, r, rust, go,) are the latest tools for python packaging, not apt packaging.

fpm is one way to create deb packages from python virtualenvs for install with the new APT solver, which resulted in this research.
