I don’t buy that the volts and amps will always be proportional. In my experience, the volts are usually pretty fixed, depending on the circumstances. Like 120VAC in most homes in the U.S., but variable amps — 15, 20, 30, 50, 100, etc…. Or 240VAC in Europe and certain other places around the world.

And if you want to talk about power lines, then the neighborhood medium voltage lines are going to be roughly the same in most places within the same jurisdictions, and distinct from the true high voltage lines that are used for long distance transmissions.
You can't be serious. This is a bad joke.

The "scumbag AI company" in question is making money by offering me a way to access information while skipping any and all attention economy bullshit you may have on your site, on top of being just plain more convenient. Note that the author is confusing crawling (which is done with documented User Agent and presumably obeys robots.txt) with browsing (which is done by working as one-off user agent for the user).

As for why this behavior is obnoxious, I refer you to 30 years worth of arguing on this, as it's been discussed ever since User-Agent header was first added, and then used by someone to discriminate visitors based on their browsers.

Arrow’s Theorem is often invoked as a criticism of alternative voting systems (RCV, etc). And not while not wrong exactly, it seems textbook “perfect being the enemy of the good”. (It’s also one reason I prefer Approval Voting, which in addition to its benefit of simplicity, sidesteps Arrow by redefining the goal: not perfectly capturing preferences, but maximizing Consent of the Governed.)

After experimenting more with this, it seems like with random generation the bottle neck is the "input generation" and not the hashing itself, that's why I went with sequential.

I replaced my nonce generation with a static string and my hashrate went to the moon, so I invested more time in optimizing my input generation.
Fair enough, I agree with that. Hell, we may not need a next Perplexity, this one may very well enshittify couple years down the line - as it happens to almost any service offered commercially on the Internet. I was just saying it isn't happening now - for the moment, Perplexity has arguably much better moral standing than most of the websites they scrape or allow users to one-off browse.

I've installed ollama and the open chat (?) software on a local machine. It was pretty simple to get working.

Is it 'just as simple' to install llama.cpp ?

If not, I would consider the ollama wrapper to have an actual use-case.

You can make a working wifi temp/humidity sensor with an esp32, dht22, esphome, and home assistant. It's not hard but many many people wouldn't have a clue where to start on this. They buy the more expensive packed items. Also, a useful use case.

Shopping malls are huge expensive unnecessary white-elephants. It's where people used to go if they wanted to buy something. But no longer. It's becoming more and more common to buy online from a hand-held device. No need for hundreds of millions of dollars expense on a huge building complex that nobody is using. No need to drive in heavy traffic for 30 minutes or more to the shopping center when you can tap-tap on a screen for 30 seconds or so, AND GET THE SAME RESULT.

She said that consumer spending is 40% less for the average urban resident compared to four years ago.

Again, if you are able to buy cheaper online, obviously you will be spending less than you were four years ago.

I don't believe that the Chinese economy is going bad, instead I believe it is pointing the way of the future for cheaper consumer commerce. In just the same way that Japanese manufacturing showed the way of the future of consumer electronics back in the 1970s.

Maybe you missed this but it was the shareholders who voted for it again. Not just the board members. The concern was that even though the shareholders were fully aware of the package and voted for it maybe they relied on the expertise of the board to make sure it was a fair package.
You are not conductive enough to get anywhere near 10% of the circuit's capacity. Therefore, the supply might as well be an infinite amp supply. You, in any particular situation, act as a particular ohm resistor. The amps that flow through you from mains voltage or big solar arrays will be directly proportional to the volts.

If a 120V 15A supply puts 50mA through you, then a 120V 100A supply will also put 50mA through you.

A supply that's "5000VAC at a 1.0 nano amps" really means that it starts at 5000 volts but super rapidly drops to zero volts as it conducts. A household supply is going to have negligible voltage drop by the time it turns deadly.

Edit: The other way to put it is that 99.9% of supplies don't give you a certain number of volts and amps. They give you a certain number of volts and they have an amp limit. If you're not approaching the amp limit then the only thing that matters is the volts.
Language is useful to transmit the concepts but is not sufficient to actually solve problems with those concepts.
I appreciate your example of a USB NIC, as I am familiar with both USB A and USB C versions of those. I was specifically envisioning devices with female ports, but out of convenience and convention, most peripherals have a built-in/permanment male-terminated cord. Can you think of any examples with a female port?

One of my favorite YouTube creators, DIY Perks, made a video about converting USB connectors to USB C which is very well done, as is their usual standard of quality.

Wow. Using zram and putting swap into ram. Completely silly.

So now you swap more often, as more of your ram is gone, but you're swapping to the very ram you shrunk.

Not to mention, ram access is indeed limited by ram speed, cpu cycles, and more. Slowing ram access down by taking kernel caches, and forcing them to swap, via a virtual drive, means you're slowing down access to main ram, while a swap of death happens in your ram disk.
Not the person you're asking but thought I would chip in.

Domain Driven Design has a lot of good ideas, but then I consistently see them misrepresented by others who seem to half-understand it?

Probably the clearest example is the idea of a “bounded context.” You will find microservice folks for example who say you should decompose such that each microservice is one bounded context and vice versa, but then when they actually decompose a system there's like one microservice per entity kind (in SQL, this is a relation or table, so in a microservice pet-adoption app there would be a cat service, a dog service, a shelter service, an approval service, a user service...).

The thing is, Eric Evans is pretty clear about what he means by bounded context, and in my words it is taking Tim Peters’s dictum “Namespaces are one honking great idea—let’s do more of those!” and applying it to business vocabulary. So the idea is that Assembly Designer Jerry on the 3rd floor means X when he says “a project,” but our pipefitter Alice on the shop floor means something different when she says “a project,” and whenever she hears Jerry talking about a project she is mentally translating that to the word “contract” which has an analogous meaning in her vocabulary. And DDD is saying we should carefully create a namespace boundary so that we can talk about “pipefitting projects” and “pipefitting contracts” and “assembly-design projects” and then have maybe a one-to-one relationship between pipefitting contracts and assembly-design projects. Eric Evans wants this so that when a pipefitter comes to us and tells us that there's a problem with “the project,” we immediately look at the pipefitter project and not the assembly-design project. He really hates that wasted effort that comes from the program not being implemented in vocabulary that closely matches the language of the business.

So if the microservices folks actually had internalized Eric's point, then they would carve their microservices not around kinds of entities, but rather archetypes of users. So for the pet adoption center you would actually start with a shelter admin service and a prospective adopter service and a background checker service, assuming those are the three categories of people who need to interact with the pet adoption process. Or like for a college bursar's office you would decompose into a teacher service, student service, admin service, accountant service, financial aid worker service, person who reminds you that you haven't paid your bills yet service.

So I thought it was a really good read, that's actually a really interesting perspective, right? But I don't think the ideas inside are communicated with enough clarity that I can bond with others who have read this book. It is kind of strange in that regard.
Similarly, for sites which configure robots.txt to disallow all bots except Googlebot, I don't lose sleep about new search engines taking that with a grain of salt.

A lot of it depends on the exact type of usage, does it not?

Currently a lot of peaker plants operate a bit like "A power line failed, we need extra power NOW!" They get essentially zero warning and are expected to be at full power within 30 minutes. Dealing with that obviously leads to some issues, but in 2024 we could also fill that niche with battery storage.

When it comes to the energy transition, it's a bit of a different problem. We can reasonably predict weather, so the rough output of solar and wind is known several days in advance. If the forecast is predicting an overcast day with zero wind, any "peaker" plant will have tens of hours to warm up. Combine that with minor changes to reduce startup time[0], and it seems far less of a hurdle to overcome.

When I was growing up, my family always had World Book Encyclopedias. My grandfather was a salesman for them (and later a regional sales manager), so he always made sure we had a relatively recent complete set.

I would spend hours and hours on some nights, just reading through the books. They fascinated me.

By the time I was in sixth grade, I was reading at college level. The teachers didn’t know what to do with me. One time that year, I took Isaac Asimov’s Foundation Trilogy as my subject for a book report. I couldn’t understand why the other kids and the teachers didn’t feel the same way about those books.

By the time I was in high school, the dedicated bookcase for them got moved into my bedroom. I was well above average for my academic performance in high school.

In college, I helped pay my way through school by working at the main library on campus, shelving books and various other tasks. I ended up working there for over five years, as I took a lighter class load to try to help keep my grades up. And I was on the Dean’s List, with a GPA above 3.5, etc….

Encyclopedias taught me how to read, and how to study, and how to organize my writing.

I think I probably owe much of who and what I am today, to those encyclopedias.

Moreover this seriousness may not be understood by many engineers who are non-native speakers of English when they read the details given and they also may not know about the felony category.

Nobody ever provides an honest answer to those questions.

This isn't a binary versus issue. If you have to ramp up coal burning and natural habitat destruction to produce the needed PV cells then you also need to stop endless-growth profit seeking manufacturing wholesale.

I think DDD is a great book but like many of these kinds of things, I also think it's one of those books that has a couple of chapters of good ideas and then a dozen chapters of filler.

That said, ideas like ubiquitous language and bounded contexts are extraordinarily powerful, and definitely sharpened my own observations, so despite the filler, all in all I'd say it's one of the keystone books on software design and definitely worth reading.

Another thing that DDD talks about, and is relevant to this, is that design and implementation are two sides of the same coin. In "Just Enough", Fairbanks says, "Every architect I have met wishes that all developers understood architecture". Well, I am not kidding when I say that I wish every architect I've ever met understood software. A lack of understanding of the technical constraints of computing is just as likely to lead to failure as misunderstanding the business constraints. They are both critical to success, and these people should be working and learning from each other, rather than operating in a hierarchy.

To that point, one of the most influential things I've ever read was Code as Design: https://www.developerdotstar.com/mag/articles/reeves_design_...

Since it's a series of essays, it has all the detail and none of the filler.
> why is using a radioactive agent here better than using some cytotoxic chemical agent? Seems to me like using some chemical poison would be easier to manufacture and deliver than radiation.
