It's more complicated than that. Mechanization of the textile industry (initially with hand power, then water power) was underway well before the steam engine's widespread adoption.

Given the massive importance of textiles to Britain's economy and the substantial efficiency gains before the steam engine was used in textile factories, I don't think it's fair to say that the industrial revolution was entirely a coal/heating driven coincidence.

These three non-coal factors were also at play in stimulating the automation of spinning and weaving:

1. High wages relative to capital costs (compare with India, the previous textile leader, where it was uneconomical to invest in machines to reduce human labor)

2. Relatively elastic input supply of cotton from American colonies, and relatively elastic output demand for textiles throughout Europe, India, Africa, Asia and America.

3. A parliamentary system that significantly prioritized commercial interests relative to monarchies like Spain, France, China. This was relatively unique in the world (exceptions include the Dutch Republic and Italian city-states like Venice), and certainly unique among states of Britain's size and defensibility. It's important to remember that kings don't really care whether GDP per capita goes up 1% per year or 0% per year; they care about glory from empire expansion and regime defense (and the latter is often manifestly counter to commercialization and automation, which simultaneously empowers a threatening merchant class and also leads to revolts and instability among the lower class.)

Note that the first two largely stemmed from Britain's increasing domination of world trade, itself founded on a combination of naval hegemony, efficient capital markets, and shipping expertise (many of these inherited from the Dutch legacy following the Glorious Revolution).

Outsized results are almost always caused by a confluence of many interacting factors rather than a single explanation like coal deposits.

"meh" to your narrative of basic partisan bickering. At least for me, it takes a long time to get to the point of actually condemning someone. I wait for unassailable happenings where indisputable facts themselves paint a bad picture, while giving endless benefit of the doubt for the hyper-sensationalized weekly two minute hates.

Lying about self driving capabilities? Common business hustling. "Pedo guy"? Message board squabbling. Worker treatment? Basically every business. Articles that his immediate reports' job is basically managing his ego? Hit piece. And so on. It's not that these situations definitely are these things, but rather that they can possibly be explained by them - thus they aren't really objective things to hang my judgement on.

But buying Twitter for $20B+, whether a regretful instance of "drunk" shopping or not, and then immediately going to work destroying the user base, its customers, and the company organization itself? That's midlife crisis buys a new red Dodge Viper and crashes it into a tree on the way home territory. I don't see a way to explain away any of that in nicer "4D chess" terms - any of these arguments about worthwhile changes could and should have been done gradually and behind the scenes, because those "soft assets" were all the business was. And so mismanaging Twitter into the Xitter sticks as a pretty poignant example that the guy isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, or at the very least has a debilitating social media addiction... which then damages this aura of being the lead visionary from whom all innovation flows at his other companies.

Since we're already in the political arena, I did the same thing with Trump. I was the one telling all my aghast friends in 2016 that there was a good chance he was going to win, because he was actually saying what a lot of people felt. I didn't believe his schtick and didn't vote for him nor the other team's talking head, but I was still hoping that any of the "4D chess" arguments would have some merit. Despite the endless barrage of "You'll never believe THIS bad thing Trump did", it took me until June 2020 to finally write the guy off as irredeemable - that's when Covid was solidly indisputable as capital-P Problem, yet he continued to deflect and equivocate. All the guy had to do was address the problem and lead, and he would have had the shoe-in second term of the war/crisis time president. But alas he kept on doubling down on his divisive reality distortion field, and we all know how that ended up.
That's being very generous to Intel. It's much more believable that the strategy of mixing performance and efficiency cores in mainstream consumer processors starting with Alder Lake was a relatively last-minute decision, too late to re-work the Atom core design to add AVX512, so they sacrificed it from the performance cores instead.

The Intel consumer processors due out later this year are expected to include the first major update to their efficiency cores since they introduced Alder Lake. Only after that ships without AVX512 will it be plausible to attribute product segmentation as a major cause rather than just engineering factors.

(Intel's AVX10 proposal indicates their long-term plan may be to never support 512-bit SIMD on the efficiency cores, but to eventually make it possible for full 512-bit SIMD to make a return to their consumer processors.)
If anything it should make you suspicious of Smil's book, since it was published more recently.

Hi jauntywundrkind, just to make sure we have the same understanding:

The smaller arrays are not "left behind" in the garbage sense - the queue will use them again and again in the next rounds. See simulator. Re-use, not Re-cycle - the Garbage-Free Mantra.

If the Queue re-cycles the smaller arrays, it would not be garbage-free anymore.

If you still believe that the smaller arrays should be re-cycled (would be curious why), then comes the technical problem:

Let's imagine a reader stands immediately before reading the array (e.g. to check if the writer has already written). Now the OS preempts him. For how long: We don't know. In the meantime all things in the queue move forward and the program code in some other thread (writer probably) decides to de-allocate the array (and indeed does it).

Now the preempted reader wakes up and the first thing it does is to read from that (deallocated) array ...
ah, I see. I though you decided t put it there (also, what the sibling said makes it a better idea)
You are correct. People often say "Shannon limit" (the general case) when they are really referring to the "Shannon-Hartley Limit" (the simplified case of an additive white Gaussian noise channel).

For example, MIMO appears to "break" the Shannon-Hartley limit because it does exceed the theoretical AWGN capacity for a simple channel. However, when you apply Shannon's theory to reformulate the problem for the case of a multipath channel with defined mutual coupling, you find that there is a higher limit you are still bounded by.
Some notes about this:

* This issue plays out differently for compiled languages vs interpreted languages, but does apply to both. In particular, in many interpreted languages, the unfixable (for user code, at least) issue is "what happens if I get an exception after constructing the object but before assigning it to a local/member variable"? For compiled languages a similar issue may be "what if it's still in a register", though they generally handle this.

* Even for languages without dangerous thread APIs, it usually applies to MemoryError, and possibly others (e.g. signals, at least "interrupt" and "quit") as well (e.g. Python, despite having increasingly broken signal handling in general, still causes this for the main thread)

* True asynchronous exceptions aren't actually necessary; it suffices to manually check for exceptions on every non-finite backward jump (that is, every non-unrollable loop iteration except the first), every (generally, uninterruptible) syscall (or call to native code), and every memory allocation. For some particular language design choices, you might also want to check every memory access, though this is unlikely to be the same.

* This is much less of an issue in a language with destructors; try-finally, Python-style-with, try-with-resources, defer, etc. are all fatally flawed. It's still possible to write bad code in a good language if you try hard enough, but at least it is possible to write good code as well.
I wrote my own alarm clock application (for the Apple Newton, about a million years ago) that addressed your need indirectly.

When the alarm went off, only the snooze button would work with a single tap. To turn the alarm off, you had to enter a numerical code.

And the snooze had a unique feature, too. Every time you hit it, it would snooze for half the time you got the last time you hit it, until that time reached 1 minute, at which point the snooze button stopped working entirely.
> base our decisions on scientific data previously collected

That is exactly what is being asked. What previously collected scientific data?
This isn't a math problem, it's not a stats problem. Realizing this abstraction of numbers is an error of reification. What's really worthy of consideration is the holistic picture which as of yet can not be resolved due to the ineradicable complexities of the evolving circumstances. The protocol to which we were subjected wrought untold damage and it's unclear in the long run whether the effects which evolved will have ultimately saved any lives.

For instance the current geopolitical regime is certainly informed, in part, by the economic and political effects which originated as a consequence of and during COVID and shutdown mandates. And these economic effects have also affected policy and personal behaviors. It's a whole Pandora's box, and we won't be able to measure it with any meaningful resolution for... Probably decades... And even then there will be conflation because attributing overdose deaths to economic issues emanating from shutdown policies five years after the fact isn't a trivial argument to make, but nonetheless isn't an impossibility when considering actual human circumstances.

And then considering what may have occurred on the obverse, where actually minimal intervention was taken, is also impossible to surmise. But I don't think it's unrealistic to have a meaningful boon. It may be the case that in spite of all the intervening circumstances that mortality would have ultimately been comparable due to the half-hearted nature which may have just been a collosal disruption. e.g. we hit a saturation point which lead to peak mortality and policy failed to modify the consequent mortality in the range beneath it.

And yet another where minimal, targeted interventions a la the Great Barrington Declaration were deployed.

And since nobody acts in isolation in a globalist society it will be yet more difficult to ascertain.

So bandying about mortality numbers, I think, is insufficient when there have been so many consequences which have evolved from COVID policies, many of which are qualitative and difficult to quantify but have considerable meaning outside the silly abstractions we conjecture carry so much meaning.

It’s “policing” ’s job to enforce laws and catch criminals in the modern world. They don’t care about rights, Constitutions, or morals and they never will. Thus it’s up to the people who elect those who pull these stunts to fire the politicians the next chance they get and let them know why they got fired. Police are just scorpions and the scorpion will do what is in its natural. Fire the bums who make the laws they enforce, they are the real source of the new laws not the police.

Agreed, accounting for the complex imperfections in design specific plastic geometry can be hard to predict without successive approximation in parametric designs.

OpenSCAD does have some limitations, in that you will never really hit "perfect" tolerances in the output files either. However, the guess->print->measure->correct->repeat workflow is usually as good as it gets after a few cycles.

It can be more convenient than manually coding g-code macros, but OpenSCAD does certainly make 3D printing practical for actual parts.

Cheers =)

10'000 songs × 1.29 $/song = 12'900$ to spend on music as a one-time up-front purchase. That's certainly an interesting proposition.

If you stick that in an ETF for 30 years, you expect to get investment×(returns-inflation)^years = 12.9k×(6%-2%.)^30 = 12.9k×(1.04)^30 = 41.8k. (Does someone have a formula for a 90% confidence interval at, say, 30 years?)

It doesn't quite pay for the streaming service but it goes a long way. If you decide to buy music and rent or buy a server instead, there's additional costs to factor in

Edit: wait I don't think I factored in the inflation correctly. It should not be a factor in ETF returns, only in the cost of commercial streaming services right? So the amount should be higher, making commercial streaming services comparatively more attractive? Might need to factor in 30% income tax or something though. Hmm... meh, I'm going to call it close enough (typing this out on mobile is a bit of a pain)
"The industrial revolution happened pretty soon after those were discovered, I don't think that is a coincidence."

Surely no coincidence, it was simply a time of great innovation. But I would argue, they also would have been invented a 3. time if necessary.
Llama-3-V model was plagiarized from MiniCPM
Last week, a vision-language model made the rounds on Twitter and Hacker News (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40505099, made front page). However, the model code and weights were copied from another team's work, MiniCPM-V, without attribution. The original authors have removed their repo and HuggingFace model (https://x.com/var_epsilon/status/1797628346156945459) and the MiniCPM authors have reproduced very damning evidence (https://x.com/zhanga6/status/1797293189378068768). Notably, the model was originally trained on held out examples of ancient Chinese script, which their university recently scanned, and the two models perform identically, which should not be possible because of the uniqueness of the data. I consider this watermarking to be pretty clever!

There's plenty of paper plagiarism, but this is the first case I've seen of model plagiarism.
As a paramedic, have dealt with the same thing, patients with obvious severe infections (TMI for people with sensitive stomachs - the worst being an older lady who spent her days in a recliner, and had 'bed' sores on her legs as a result, couldn't get up because of the pain, so had defecated herself, which had melted due to body heat and run down her legs into the bed sores) but was still resistant to going to hospital. Irony was, she was a founding part of our fire department many many years ago. "Ma'am, if you don't come with us, the next time we'll be here is quite possibly because you'll die right in this recliner".

She didn't come with us that night, so we cleaned her up, as best we could, and came back the next morning after having done some outreach (our department had a pastor who knew her and was also a PA and responder), and were able to convince her to go.

Shannon theory assumes Gaussian noise, however in the very low power regime that's just not true. I agree it's unintuitive. Have a look at the Gordon paper I posted earlier.
You're conflating "market systems" with "capitalism". All capitalist systems are market systems, but not all market systems are capitalist.

One of the most significant economic revolutions in all human history happened over the last few decades, under a socialist market economy rather than a capitalist market economy. Similarly, the actual industrial revolution started under mercantilist economy, before capitalist market economies in anything like their modern forms existed.

I would assume that a parent is likely to do it again when the child is at 18, and beyond.

Your assumption is wrong, why would an adult with a new phone let them? Where is your evidence that this happens?

People’s opinions and habits change slowly, if at all.

Not kids.

This parental behavior is observable to most people.

Prove it, you haven't linked a single thing.

All right, in that case the parents who are habitually tracking the location of their children will probably only track their kids up to the age of about 20,

More back peddling. Now it's not 30 year olds any more to try to save some face. This is like people doing rain dances or using leeches for medical treatments. Repeating the same thing over and over then seeing if you can get the other person to stop showing that it's made up is not the same as figuring something out. You need actual numbers, data, statistics and you have none of that.

I would prefer it if you would refrain from commenting further on this forum until you have at least learned to restrain yourself.

I would prefer it if you had evidence when making claims. I've seen this dozens of times. Someone with no evidence and a ridiculous claim can't admit that they have no evidence so they repeat their claims more forcefully and say the other person is being a big meany by pointing out that without real data it's all made up.

The other two scenarios are trying to pretend the burden of proof is not on the person who made the claim and pretending you already gave evidence, but we haven't gone there yet.

Here's an actual outside perspective where people are universally mortified at the idea of someone tracking a 24 year old.

In general, every access to a TLS variable involves a function call, which may allocate. This can only be optimized out in certain models.

Note that the overhead of this is sufficient such that e.g. OpenGL libraries lie and act as if they were loaded at program start even when actually `dlopen`ed, and libc cheats to let them work. Some other libraries try to copy this, but it explodes if there are too many of them.

Async-signal-safety of TLS variables is slightly different but related; only the allocation case is actually unsafe, but it's nontrivial to avoid.
A better memorial might be to take some time to inspect your workspace for occupational safety hazards. Is that desk a sit-stand? Are people taking care to avoid RSI injuries?

Too many wars, sort of. History book I read explained that as a wrong division of power. Increased iron production failed to increase military strength.

Class that valued industrial production, looked down on warfare as something beneath them.

And warlords preferred feudal society of peasants to squeeze. Industry would threaten them.
Patients do not have a collective responsibility to doctors, but I dont think doctors have the responsibility to provide a diagnosis at all.

Though I wasn't really thinking about phase sync when I was talking about time and cross-border electricity (indeed, hadn't occurred to me!)
