Electrolysis isn't a huge problem efficiency wise, but the cost to liquefy or compress hydrogen is insane. It's also scary high pressure. It's way easier to convert it to methane and store as LNG. In any case you are talking about less than 40% round trip efficiency for storing electricity.

Compare that to lithium battery storage at 96%? Unless your Power-to-gas storage is less than 1/3 the cost of lithium batteries, you are going to have a bad time competing with battery storage. Especially considering the new designs coming out for grid scale battery storage.

Edit: Hydrogen is pretty valuable just on it's own as a chemical feed stock. Burning it for electricity is not very economical.

The Romans didn't really have that much of a tech advantage vs. steppe riders like the Huns when it came to practical combat. They also had good horsemanship (learning to ride as toddlers) and the valuable ability to fire arrows from horseback.

However, the Huns were kind of an abberation. Most of the migrations/invasions were Germanic forest dwellers. In addition, for the most part it didn't look like an invasion. Many of the tribes were allowed to settle in the empire in exchange for military service, and Germans gradually started occupying the upper echelons of the military caste. By this time, the Western Roman Empire's institutions were just kind of falling apart. The local elites had little incentive to do much about it, and were happy enough to work with the Germans once Odoacer ripped off the bandaid and deposed the last emperor. Italy was actually quite prosperous for the century after the fall, until the Eastern Roman Empire initiated its reconquest and set off a series of wars.

I have transitioned to a category theoretical terminal interface (CTTUI). At this terminal, whenever I have an idea and I want to see it in practice, instead I think about some nice happy functors dancing in some nice happy 2-category of functors and natural transformations. Sometimes I will draw a string diagram proof that looks like a bowl of spaghetti, which makes me hungry. Very soon the desire to use a computer passes. And that is how 50 years of awful terminal tech debt is universally avoided, just by tapping the power of categories!

No, but you can certainly try to inconvenience them until they take action, whether that means pressuring government to capitulate or crackdown. Disruptive protests tend to already assumes it swayed enough minds to go disruptive, the ultimate goal is not to persuade fence sitters but persuade power.

Well okay, but Facebook is not an outlier.

Every outlet has noticed the popularity that comes with telling people what they want to hear. It’s legal to give “opinion” that has no backing evidence, as opposed to journalism, where people reasonably expect some due diligence.

That’s why Hannity, for instance, is quick to point out that he is not a journalist, but in fact an opinion show host. That distinction is meant to limit his liability.

Political speech is protected, you don’t have to be tethered to reality in order to participate.

But there’s limits, for example slander and defamation.

> If you justify soundness for a property because that property is at the root of 90% of bugs then you should still prefer another technique that reduces 90% of bugs more cheaply. It doesn't matter what technique is used to reduce that amount of bugs.

This is a false equivalence, as not all bugs are the same and so cannot be trivially equated in this fashion. Memory safety violations permit classes of bugs of significantly higher severity than other types of bugs. Your off-hand disclaimer of "the same or different ones of equal severity" doesn't mean anything, because you cannot predict the severity or scope of even trivial memory unsoundness, so your heuristic arguments of preferring lower cost methods simply don't work. A memory safety bug can range from something as simple as "a process crashed" in the best case, to "we lost control of all our servers worldwide and all of our customer data was compromised".

So I would summarize my dispute with your position as follows:

1. Memory safety is NOT an underwhelming property. Arguably, all other properties of your program derive from memory safety.

2. If you have to use an unsafe language that permits violating memory safety, say for performance reasons, and you have any kind of attack surface, then ensuring memory safety is important. Probably more important than most other properties you otherwise think are important due to #1.

3. Heuristic approaches to memory safety do not necessarily entail a reduction in the severity of bugs and/or security vulnerabilities. Arguments that you eliminated 80% of trivial memory unsoundness is simply not compelling if it leaves all of the subtle, more dangerous ones in place.

4. The long history of security vulnerabilities is a main driver in the interest in soundness among researchers, contra your claims that that this obsession has no association with real-world needs.

I think I'll just leave it at that.

>Why? Is it to port windows software to Linux?

Most of software was web-based software but ran on Windows Server because it was only platform to support .Net Framework. Once we migrated to .Net Core and could run it on Linux, we did so because .Net on Linux is faster and free.

>Is anybody starting software on Linux using .Net?

I mean, all greenfield for day job stuff is done now in Linux. We have several ASP.Net Services that hosted 100% on Kubernetes.

Just to get it out of the way - Linux is great if you are a grandma or linux junkie. It sucks for everyone in between, especially for those who come from Windows or MacOS.

--

This is the fundamental problem with the terminal, it is extremely powerful when you are intimately familiar with using it. And it's unsurprising that people building distros and maintaining linux fall into that camp.

What they are completely blind to is how incredibly user hostile the environment for people from a GUI complete background. What is the first thing every mainstream Unix based OS does? They take the terminal and hide it. They make menus and menus of GUI elements that cover 80-90% of the things you would typically use the terminal for aside from the 5% of ultra power users.

My gripe is primarily that Linux is _desparetly_ needed now more than ever as an escape from windows. But the people who are working on linux distros are so lost in their egos that they are arrogantly trapped in this idea that everyone needs to be driving stick shift in 2024 because look at how much more control you have compared to an automatic, if that analogy makes sense.
"""AI model collapse – the degradation of quality expected from machine learning models that recursively train on their own output – is not inevitable, at least according to 14 academics.

The risk that ongoing generative AI output, known as synthetic data, will dilute human-created organic data and impair the performance of models trained on this increasingly fabricated corpus was highlighted by a separate group last year, in a paper titled: "The Curse of Recursion: Training on Generated Data Makes Models Forget."

Ilia Shumailov, lead author of that paper, spoke to The Register earlier this year about this phenomenon, which has been documented in other studies.

Now another set of boffins – Matthias Gerstgrasser, Rylan Schaeffer, Apratim Dey, Rafael Rafailov, Henry Sleight, John Hughes, Tomasz Korbak, Rajashree Agrawal, Dhruv Pai, Andrey Gromov, Daniel Roberts, Diyi Yang, David Donoho, and Sanmi Koyejo – contend that the problem of training AI on AI-made data isn't significant, given the way that model training is actually done."""

It doesn't matter much, but it does matter.

You can get a financial advantage if you get information early. (The comedy film Trading Places gives a remarkably accurate depiction.) If something drops early, those who notice get an advantage over those who didn't. That throws off the balance of calculations, hedges, etc. designed on the assumption that the data would come out at time T rather than T-:30.

It's not going to be a huge thing. Maybe some funds lost or gained a million dollars -- a tiny piece of their trillion-dollar capitalization. Maybe you personally could have lost a few dollars in your retirement account. Not enough to get angry about, but not going to thrill you, either.

neovide.dev ?
I would say it’s a bad sign that 40-50% of the user base is already one version behind as you’re releasing v7.

This comparison ignores reach router, which was the other replacement for react router by that same team before they abandoned it for remix. That still has 600k downloads so now you’re nearly at 50:50.

There’s a reason why many front end devs have stayed away react router and the associated libraries since 2016/2017 because this team has lost a lot of good will for the number of times they’ve done major overhauls of their projects.
First I’d like to thank you for the thoughtful, introspective, self-aware comment.

I have no grievance with people who had slightly better starting conditions than others. My background wasn’t exactly fun but I didn’t grow up in the same postal code as Easy E, a lot of people have it a lot worse than being pushed around as a kid. My childhood was like: “you’re on your own”.

My ex-wife’s background was a horror film, an Ellis novel and she cleanly tests 185-ish on proctored Stanford-Binet. I’m at least somewhat aware of the difference.

What I have an issue with is the fungibility of one’s parent’s or lover’s or advocates wealth into further capture. That’s the thing I’ll be running for office to make not only a felony but one that gets enforced.

You sound like a cool person who is aware you supplied two of three ingredients around success: long hours and table stakes, but my quasi-informed read of your remarks is that you paid that rake.

It also sounds like you understand good cards tend to be the dominant term, and I find that even more noteworthy and admirable than the first two.

> That theory is espoused by the same people who think it was built by aliens.

I think this is a common misunderstanding.

Yes, there are some who think aliens built the pyramids.

But there is an equally large group of people who think that humans pre-ice age were advanced like we are today. And when the ice age happened 12,000 years ago - that knowledge was lost.

When you then look at build sites around the world from this perceptive, structures like the Sphinx and others (like Göbekli Tepe), begin to appear much older than convention teachings might imply.

There are some people who have done things like this. I think the problem it runs into its just a very specific way to do the thing and any engineer with any experience is going to have their own set of preferences. Its going to end up feeling constraining.

Just looking at this list, personally i would instead go with shadcn, trpc, node test for node, drizzle, pulumi, next auth or clerk, etc.

The time saved with a plug and play stack imo will not be significant compared to the long term time spent building on and maintaining the stack, so a developer would be rational to pick and choose based their specific needs.

Also I think typically its more natural to build incrementally than all at once. Like are they certain they are going to need graphql? Maybe they could worry about analytics in a few months?

I think its super easy to become over-invested in your own preferences, and lose site of how complex and varied real world requirements are.
This is interesting to me. I had severe spinal degeneration in my late 30s, to the extent that I had an incident wherein trying to put underwear on while standing led to a series of spasms that totally immobilized me for three days, to the point I couldn't even go to the hospital because I couldn't move, and the feeling was roughly analagous to having some kind of electrode in my spinal cord that shocked and paralyzed every 30 seconds, and would also do the same if I moved. The level of pain was so beyond anything else I've ever experienced that it totally redefined the shifted the entire scale.

But even that was not a 10! When I was taken off of anesthesia before painkillers were adminstered, following a multilevel lumbar interbody fusion that lasted 7 hours, I achieved an entirely new level yet again that I thankfully only vaguely rememeber because of the general haziness of memory formation post-surgery. I know I screamed at the top of my lungs begging a nurse to kill me, and I had no other working senses except pain, but I don't really remember what it was like qualitatively.

Conversely, I broke my hand about a month ago, fourth metacarpal into four pieces with a 7mm displacement, and I didn't even seek treatment for a week and a half because I thought it couldn't be broken because I had never before broken a bone and expected it to be obvious from pain, but the sensation didn't even register to me as pain.

All of which is a long-winded way of saying yes, there are levels of pain you cannot even conceive of if you never experience it and it does make me question the usefulness of the scales, in that when I first enrolled in pain management before things got truly bad, I was typically rating a 6 what today I'm not sure I would even rate a 1, but as far as I know, providers are aware of this and only use your numerical rating to assess how much your level of pain changes over short enough spans of time that your Pain Overton Window hasn't totally shifted in the meantime.

M4 iPad Pro Bend Tests: Durability Equal to M2 Model Despite Thinness
Visible is 100% owned by Verizon and therefore technically not a MVNO. I use Visible and my wife is on Verizon. Her service is provided through her employer. Sometimes she has better data than I do and sometimes I have better data. For instance during a recent trip to Puerto Rico she struggled to receive reliable data and I had no issues. Don’t think it has anything to do with prioritization. I recently upgraded to the yearly Visible+ plan since I added an Apple Watch and will be traveling to Vancouver frequently in the next year. It includes 50GB of Verizon premium tier data and then you fall back to whatever prioritization normal Visible has. It also includes 2GB a day in Canada and Mexico along with Apple Watch service. $395 for the year which is around $32.92 a month.
