Do you realize it can be reprocessed yes? It's not like we don't know how to deal with it, there are both working reprocessing plants and breeding reactors for it. Only about 5% of it is actual waste and it's dangerous for much less that 10k years and can be solidified if needed...
You’re right; it can’t possibly be due to multiple causes. That would be absurd.

Canonizing is a fascinating research topic (which I’ve done quite a bit of work on).

The shortish version is if you have an unordered list, you can sort the list.

With graphs, you have to do a backtrack search — there are many ways to speed that search up, and in practice it is very, very quick. This algorithm is, I think, the coolest algorithm most people have never heard of. There is a fairly good description in the paper “Practical Graph Isomorphism II”.

For most structures more complicated than graphs, turns out you can often turn them into graphs, then use the existing graph software.

Unfortunately, I don’t think this will help your case, as the structure is that you can represent things in quite different ways, so this stuff won’t be much help :)
I know that for some (many?) people the mind-body connection is taboo. They'd rather see the body as a separate machine than recognizing that it's affected by psychological processes. A reason could be that they want to avoid dealing with their trauma's, which is would be something you'd have to do if you want to heal such physical ailments.

I am a GFN subscriber (and Stadia prior to that) so I am quite interested in this - GFN is great (I no longer have a gaming laptop and just use game streaming -90% from GFN and the rest via moonlight from a server in my loft/attic) but the major drawback is that you cannot access your entire game library. I presume it is a combination of a) compatibility but probably more likely b) contracts/business/legal.

GFN does have an integration with Microsoft's game service too, which offers a rolling library of new games to try - if netris does not support anything apart from steam then that will be a shame as I won't be able to access the MS games .

Still despite that, I'm interested to see how this one goes! I am in the sign-up queue and wait with interest.

IMHO a HS student learning Calculus should first learn the subject with pen and paper for a while before programming. It is important to work through the problems and think about the fundamental concepts involved, rather than thinking about the syntax involved in coding their solutions. Practising with pen and paper helps to internalize the subject matter better.
Multiple-dispatch is the right abstraction for programming mathematics. It provides both the flexibility required to create scientific software in layers (science has a LOT more function overloading compared to any other field.), and the information required to compile to fast machine code.

NB: Aloha 243 was what I'd had in mind as well, and was when I'd learnt of the distinction between hours and cycles.

For those unfamiliar, a 1988 airline incident in which a Hawaiian airliner experience explosive decompression, though 94 of 95 occupants survived. The lone fatality was a flight attendant who was sucked out through the hole, and if my memory of the post-incident report stands, actually contributed to much of the fuselage damage by enlarging the initial failure region.

Another of my references are the US B-52 Stratofortress fleet, the youngest of which were built 61 years ago in 1963, for which active status is anticipated to extend into the 2050s. My understanding is that wing loadings/unloadings are the limiting factor, with virtually all other parts of the plane being capable of replacement.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_B-52_Stratofortress>

The overall airframe is rated for 32,500 to 37,500 hours, with aircraft experiencing about 380 flight hours/year. The wing upper service being the lowest limit of body parts indicated here:

Any country at war does that. UK cancelled elections during WW2, look it up.
Attendee? What year is it in your world? (Also, time-limited is stupid for this case.)

This isn't an edge case - people pass out addresses expecting to be contacted by randoms all the time.

And, most contacts are second-order or further, so introductions aren't even possible because there's no common link. (I pass on "you should contact {other person}" to groups that I don't control all the time.)

I get that you're proud of your introductions hammer, but you don't get to ignore the existence of screws.
Instead of assuming, I would ask people.

Software developers trying to manipulate computer users for financial gain make lots of assumptions about what people want without ever asking them. I am not a software developer.
Oh, wild, I didn't know that. I definitely see some high latency on Parsec within my home.

It might be bouncing around through the net somehow instead of transferring directly within my local network? I wonder if something about local peer-to-peer discovery isn't working properly?

Maybe that's also happening to the other person comparing GeForce Now to Parsec?
> As of this writing, Cyan is preparing a remake of Riven.

As someone who regularly despaired over the original, I'm very interested and curious.
In programming it is typical to have an “eig” function, or something of the sort, which returns the eigenvalues of a matrix. eig(M) seems no less vomit inducing than M.eigenvaues(). Usually when mathematicians want eigenvalues they write something like “Given a matrix M with eigenvalues \lambda” and the eigenvalues just show up.
Very valid points. In my view they miss the mark however.

Blaming Apple for optimizing their platform model isn’t the problem, it became a problem. Imagine 2007 and the following years already with the EU act in full effect. AppStore would be dead on arrival.

In my view Apple’s AppStore went from feature some people have when they buy a smartphone to necessity. 2007 and even 2016 was a perfect time to opt for a live without smartphones.

Not so 2024.

So EU should change Apple’s and Google’s status from producer to provider of essential service like electricity for example.

Some often overlooked fact is, that Apple decides at will who is allowed to publish apps via AppStore and who is not.

This is an area where regulation is needed in my opinion. In other areas of life you simply cannot take down businesses at will, while Apple can.
you dont get trust by default. It needs to be earned.
There are plenty of other OSes since the 1950's, even if the idea already existed in Multics, and the large majority of those weren't into single file system camp.

There are even those whose filesystem is based on a database model instead.

Yes, exactly! That's the point. The mobile ecosystem would look heaps better without it.

I think you're confusing Riven with the original Myst. There have been full 3D versions of Myst since way back in 2000, but a real-time 3D remake of Riven has been a long-awaited pipe dream.

There was a long-running fan project called "Starry Expanse", aiming to recreate Riven in 3D. They got acquired(?) by Cyan a couple years back and their work got incorporated into the official Riven remake, which is supposed to come out sometime later this year.
In my experience they mean basically the same thing in practice most of the time. The industry used AI for a long time (up through the 2000s iirc) but it developed a bit of a reputation for going nowhere. Then there was a revival in the 2010s "The Social Network" funding environment when "machine learning" was preferred, I think to shake off some of the dust associated with the old name. Now the pendulum seems to be swinging back to "AI", driven by several high profile and well funded though leaders who have rewarmed the old AGI narrative thanks to some major leaps forward in models for certain applications.
Wait, I thought that you need either a hacked driver or a very expensive license to split up Nvidia GPUs, even within containers?
Replace "remind me" with "what about" and the sentence reads perfectly. That is usually a good test for what about'ism

> Whataboutism is when two entities are doing shitty stuff with roughly commensurate negative impact

I have different view. What about'ism can be akin: "oh, you don't like that i drive a ar, what about the millions of cars driven everyday? And what about al gore! I will not stop driving until he stops flying"

Perhaps my understanding is wrong of what-aboutism, wanted to point out that there not be common ground on the definitions of terms.

FWIW, while AI might reduce carbon impact, as you have stated, so far it has not. Data centers use a lot of electricity, they are significant, and have a lot of projected growth ahead. With that said and news the impact has ramped up, so far we have only increased the challenge.

You're right - I thought that you'd made one fatal error (sender registries) when you'd actually made a different one (introducers).

> spam is generally understood to be unsolicited email

Not so fast. If spam is universally disliked and should be eradicated, it can't include all unsolicited email.

That's because people LIKE some unsolicited email. Unless you can distinguish unsolicited email that someone will like from unsolicited email that they won't like ...

FWIW, you come across like the "advertising should be banned" people. (That's another group that confuses the existence of a problem with the existence of a solution that doesn't have any downsides. They fixate on their solution and try to define-away its downsides.)

Advertising is a lot like spam. It is product information. If you don't care about the information, it is unwanted, but if you do.... The thing is, there's always someone who cares.

FWIW, every time I've physically met someone who claims to be anti-advertising, said someone has happily displayed several pieces of advertising for products that said someone liked. When I point that out, "that's different" or "I don't mean that kind of advertising."

What do you think the distinction is between Russia losing it's zone of influence and countries joining up with NATO? I agree with you and believe the Russians simultaneously.

Russia is losing its zone of influence because it didn't hold on to it tightly and the US took it. Pretty much the same thing happened to the British, although they got beaten down by the Germans first so they weren't in a position to do much more than pretend to resist.

Although in this case the US is much closer to the British analogue. They've got financial problems, they've got industrial problems, they've got a lot of upcoming challengers and their diplomatic mis-management could easily lead to a massive blow up that unseats them.

As a bootstrapped startup, we are providing SaaS products for larger business customers.

We use a subscription model, which price depends on a very fixed metric of the customer. Think number of rooms in a hotel, it usually never changes.

Not based on users, as that might constantly change and we don’t want customers to think about, if the new employee gets an account or not or has to share it with a co-worker.

Subscription based revenues are more predictable, the user knows the price in advance, the user can easily clear the fixed budget with superiors, the accounting department knows what to expect every month, no one gets a bill shock, no one needs to worry about usage and budget.

We have like no variable cost, so we don’t worry about high usage.

It of course depends on the product and your target group, this works very well for us and our customers.
Sagemath seems much more appropriate; it is better not to bind students to proprietary tools.

> ChatGPT that I can use for whatever I want

There is no such thing. I think physics and economics dictates that you can't really be advanced enough for interstellar industry and yet backwards enough to have the type of resource scarcity which would compel interstellar resource competition.

If these aliens can not only travel but do resource extraction at interstellar distances, that implies having highly advanced fusion or annihilation reactors.

Minerals are just chemical reaction products, and therefore necessarily cost negligible energy to synthesize compared to interstellar travel. It's easier to just make the minerals you need.

Isotopes are finite in number, and we already know and largely understand all the ones are likely to ever be useful. "Island of Stability" nuclei may or may not be possible beyond that, but even if they're not only possible but also useful, they will almost certainly have halflives short enough that they will also have to be synthesized rather than mined. So, there's no competing over planets either way.

At the lower end of the tech levels where you can have interstellar industry, the only "amazingly high-energy isotope/mineral" is hydrogen fusion fuel. There's nothing in the Earth's crust or core that could be useful for them, because terrestrial planets are made out of spent nuclear detritus. Though maybe they can bring a big fusion candle and just run off with Jupiter, if they forget about their own gas giants and stars.

At the higher end of the tech scale, even hydrogen stops being a resource. Matter annihilation (e.g. via microscopic black holes) means that it doesn't matter what element or chemical your fuel is made out of when you're converting it directly to energy.

I think any resource competition argument for "dark forest" exopolitics really undersells how vast space is, and how abundant resources are. A single Jupiter with basic fusion reactors could easily sustain quadrillions of humans in enormously inefficient utopian living conditions for trillions of years. [1] It's going to need to get a lot more crowded before fighting over minerals is something that any sane interstellar civilization would worry about.

VLB wasn't limited to graphics... it was just a fast bus.

VLB wasn't limited to graphics, but it had issues which made it difficult to use in other applications. Still, there were a handful of SCSI and Ethernet cards made to the standard.

The physical size (Very Long Bus!) meant that it was best suited to cards which were already going to be large (e.g. graphics cards with lots of memory chips) and the tight coupling to the system memory bus meant that it was hard to use with anything other than an 80486 CPU -- which inherently discouraged its use for peripherals which weren't firmly aimed at the consumer market.

Ultimately I think the story here is less "Intel undercut a standards process" and more "Intel realized that the standards process had produced a horrible design". We should be glad that they hedged their bets; PCI was far superior.

> Imagine 2007 and the following years already with the EU act in full effect. AppStore would be dead on arrivaL.

Why do you think so? I think it would be different, but not dead. Giving their users a simple means to discover selected apps would still be win-win for both Apple and their customers, even if users had other means to obtain the apps.

Apple could also charge companies for having their apps in that store.
And if you did say it, you would have been a lot more correct than if you'd said they won't amount to anything. Robotaxis with nobody in the driver's seat are available in three major US cities; most people use a network of navigational satellites every time they want to figure out how to get somewhere new.
They don't need CUDA for video encoding?

For video they can rely on VAAPI or Vulkan video (the latter might be behind on AV1 encoding options though) which can work on any GPU with video acceleration hardware.
> when the consequences of becoming known to the wrong civilization are inevitable destruction

This is the presupposition that seems entirely baseless to me. An explanation has been constructed that comes to this as the only conclusion, but the assumptions in the explanation seem themselves to come from nothing. I think this is what often called "projection". Human beings are a violent creature that destroys others, so we assume these alien creatures must be. But they are aliens. We presently know nothing about aliens. My view is that we should interrogate the assumptions that lead us to your brutal conclusion. Projection of our own fears is insufficient to make the right choice.

Another question to reflect on: Why do you not destroy every person you come in contact with? They could likely kill you if they tried. But more so than legal consequences, you simply feel no desire to do so. There are reasons for your feeling that way.
The fossil record is certainly not perfect.

I thought the books matched the atmosphere and quality of the games very well. They didn't read to me at all like merchandising, but rather as an expression of the same artistic vision in another medium. I remember reading one as a teenager, and was deeply taken with the message that as an artist and an engineer (and those are deeply related), a commitment to beauty and proper function, indeed the integrity of honoring what you are and what your creations properly ought to be, demands doing things right, which in turn demands deep study and doing the homework. It is a philosophy that was formative for me, and which still heavily influences me today. I hadn't thought about that in years...!
