> Every car can go from a standstill to accelerating in a split second

Going from a standstill to accelerating at say 3 m/s² is very different in a normal ICE car vs. an EV. It's anecdotal, but you must have noticed this if you've driven an EV before.

> What is the maximum acceleration of an EV?

I was talking specifically about the electric buses in my city. They don't have massive acceleration compared to, say, a Tesla.

> I don't think what you're describing is jerk

I am talking about how rapidly electric buses change acceleration. That's the definition of jerk.

Exactly. How many Jews would die if Hamas were to keep existing? Just look at how many Palestinians Hamas killed with their own hands.

I think this is a negative approach. This is an open source developer who donated his time and energy over years for practically free. The reason he is quitting open source development in favor of farming is because farming is a more rewarding experience.

The number one killer of open source projects is funding. It is demoralizing to spend years on something that isn't going to really put food on the table, and we do not live in a society that allows us to fully chase our hobbies and passions with complete abandon to that fact.

I don’t think the implication was that everyone can be a billionaire with luck - rather that virtually nobody becomes a self-made billionaire without some (and often a lot of) luck.
I didn't say you cannot run anything. As a side project, sure - 1 Acre is quite a piece of land. But it's impossible to rely on it as your only source of income (i.e. definition of being a farmer). Even in the wine example - let's say they make 2$/liter, that's $5k/acre/year. Pigs actually make very little profit on average, when you combine all the other costs associated with raising livestock. I would be very surprised if they make more than $100/pig/year (averages have been <0 for the last few years).

>the price rises for the next two years were pre-announced at davos in january 02019 by eric luo, president of gcl, a top-ten chinese solar-panel company; this is a sort of announcement that cannot happen in a competitive market https://www.reuters.com/article/us-davos-meeting-solar-gcl-i...

From the article: "Solar panel prices tumbled around 30 percent last year after China, the world's largest producer, cut subsidies to shrink its bloated solar industry, pushing smaller manufacturers to the brink of collapse."

This is exactly the opposite of price fixing. They subsidized the market (consumption) and created a bloated industry. Removing the subsidies lead to overcapacity and hence a drop in prices below the rate of a healthy market.

This is exactly what is happening again this year. The difference is that we are seeing more than 50% price drop.

If you look at the fraunhofer PDF, you will notice that chinese companies own 95% of the market now. The way they were allowed to scale was by targeted chinese subsidies on PV projects that were not accessible to outside tenders.

Proof and Progress in Mathematics (1994)
Well, it's not exactly eternal, it's that time is not passing for that photon. It's also (as far as I can tell) only correct to say that distances shrink as speed increases when you're talking about massive objects. A photon would not experience space contraction in any meaningful way.
ok, fair enough - I agree that the definition of a job shouldn't be tied to the income generated from it. However the main argument presented above was that people shouldn't assume farming is easy and relaxing - and working on a 1 acre farm with no expectation of income is not the same as "being a farmer to make a living" which is 100x harder.
The way I see it, the distinction between = and ≡ isn't really to do with equality having more than one meaning. An "identity" like sin^2 x + cos^2 x ≡ 1 is really just shorthand for "for every real number x, we have sin^2 x + cos^2 x = 1". The equals sign here has the same meaning as in a statement such as "there is a real number x such that sin^2 x + cos^2 x = 1"; the difference is in the surrounding language, and what meaning it assigns to the variable x.

So perhaps rather than just emphasizing the difference between = and ≡ more, it would be better to go further and emphasize the difference between universal and existential quantification more. Quantifiers can be confusing, but I think people also find having two different equals signs confusing; and it wouldn't be necessary to give a full account of predicate logic to high schoolers, I'm thinking more of just informally describing the difference between "for all" and "there exists" and reminding them that a bare variable has no meaning if you don't know what set it ranges over and how it's quantified.

This is just my speculation, I have no experience with mathematical education whatsoever.

> Selling crop futures protect you against the price of your crops falling.

Price contracts are a thing. You can do this in new england with fuel oil for heating. It is fairly common.

But futures pay today for a product at some later date. It's a loan as well.

And as a producer it's not just a hedge on price. What happens if your expect to yield 140 bushels of corn an acre, and only get 130? Your crop came in, so no insurance, how do you make up the missing bushels? You're buying those futures back or delivering the contract even at 10x the price.

That isn't an outcome one expects from a hedge or insurance.

There is a reason that there are specialists in marketing and delivery of products with futures markets that help them plan.
i used to have a photograph of this catch on my corkboard when a child.
It is not hilarious, it is actually the correct use of the term.

Otherwise, you would have to contend with the fact that "real time" does not exist at all, as information about any event has to necessarily take time to travel to reach you.

So no "real time" coverage of anything -- the information always takes time to travel the distance.

What is not a correct understanding of how time works is claiming that it happened some thousands of years ago. No, from our reference frame it happened now. It is meaningless to say that it happened thousands of years ago because it happened thousands of years ago in some other, arbitrary reference frame.

You moved your own goal posts. You said “very poor” quality counted, and referred to “any game imaginable”, not to only valid moves. We absolutely can ask GPT to play a game it doesn’t know, and fail to get any valid moves. I was trying to give your argument the benefit of the doubt, but I can’t do that when your argument is moving and inconsistent. You also failed to address the RNG, which always has a non-zero probability of returning a valid move.

The papers you refer to do not say I’m wrong. In-context learning doesn’t stick, the neurons don’t change or adapt, the model doesn’t grow, and GPT forgets everything you told it… while you play the game I imagined.

There are also papers demonstrating how bad GPT can be and reveal that it doesn’t understand, it’s just good at mimicking humans that understand.

This is a reasonable candidate for a notion of a "Fractal" but these days it is generally accepted that there is no universal definition.

For instance, this definition would not include objects such as the Devil's staircase [1] or more generally images of the unit interval under a continuous monotonically increasing function.

Some more exposition about attempts to rigorously define the notion of a fractal can be find in the introduction to Kenneth Falconer's book [2]

Tldr: as with dashboards, self-serve ETLs don't work outside very specific use cases or very simple pipeline.

Reason for that, as with bi tools, is that the complexity is not in manipulating data. There are tons of frameworks to do that efficiently.

I'm a little bit in touch with this particular demographic, and from what I've seen this has nothing to do with romanticism, and instead everything to do with a profound mistrust in technological civilization's ability to feed everyone into the near term future. Much closer to some sort of extreme insurance policy than anything else. There are systemic economic problems that can't be hand-waved away at this point.

Interesting side topic: did you know that while John Deere's top of the line combine is well over $1 million retail (and of course everyone else's models are similarly priced), that a model 42 combine from the 1960s will still go for under $1000 at auction, even as recently as last October, and is more than sufficient to harvest oh, probably even up to 50 acres over a few days? If one sells wheat or oats or whatever, there's no way to compete at market but if one only wants enough wheat to feed themselves for the coming year (and not have to buy seed again next), it's some absurdly small acreage. You might need like a fifth of an acre. There's still plenty of hard work, but mechanization solved some of the worst parts of that before we were even born.

> Yeah, the ROI is way lower than tech.

The classic risk-reward scenario. Tech has the potential for tremendously greater upside, but it is also insanely difficult to succeed in. Farming is comparatively quite easy. Your customer base is essentially guaranteed.

> go invest it and get passive returns

Technically farmland is an investment with passive returns. Other farmers will fall over themselves to rent it from you. If you choose to farm it yourself, you do not lose the passive return. Your farm income should reflect the rent that you would have otherwise paid if it weren't your land. Thus, in effect, you are still paying rent to yourself even if you don't formally account for it.

> Your labor is worth less

My tech job also pays me to farm. Double-dipping will always be worth more. However, even ignoring that, I make more per hour farming than I do in my tech job.

It is not very many hours, though. A hypothetical $10,000 per hour job doesn't get you far if there is only one hour of work per year to do. This is why making a living farming is hard.
I absolutely agree. But keep in mind that a lot of these services are made by startups that want to be acquired by someone with big pockets. Using hyped tech helps the sale. Don’t ask me why…
