An interactive game is much more than just rendering. You need object separation, animation, collision, worldspace, logic, and your requirement of destructibility takes it to a completely different level.

NeRF is not that, it's just a way to represent and render volumetric objects. It's like 10% of what makes a game. Eventually, in theory, it might be possible to make NeRFs or another similar representation animated, interactive, or even entirely drivable by an end-to-end model. But the current state is so far from it that it isn't worth speculating about.

What you want is doable with classic tools already.

I think fusion has one major advantage compared to other renewables.....its much less resource intensive.

While plasma confinement is currently done via supercooling of electromagnets(from last time I was looking into fusion) that's the major resource sink that I can see. We have massive fusion chambers, but I know some universities have built much smaller scale chambers. And we also can address the helium shortage if we solve fusion.

I'm not sure if fusion will ever get solved or if we will she commercial adoption. I also don't know what the life cycle of a fusion plant would be but its got to be cheaper than the big turbine blades, and more ecofriendly the photovoltaic cells.
That’s a phenomenal ROI if you’re in it for the long haul. Thanks for sharing the details.
> I think if there's something weird/bad going on, someone manually takes over (but not sure if that's confirmed or not).

Remote agents give the cars "advice" or label objects, but the car is free to not believe them. There's no actual remote control.

If the advice is not enough, roadside assistance goes and drives the car manually.
So if language is primarily a tool for communication, which tools are we using for thought?

> The market is saying those elements can be worth more than the creative's output.

No, customers aren't saying that. Customers are just saying that the final packaged, delivered product they receive (today a better description would be the overall service channel through which they receive the products) is worth what they pay for it. They aren't paying the various contributors separately so their payments say nothing about how much they think those individual contributions are worth.
Well done for de-escalating but I can't see what "curiosity" you expect when you "confirm with 100% certainty" anything you want. Curious discussion doesn't mean you pretend the other person is not a fool just for the sake of proving they are.
Housing in the USA is heavily suburban and spread out. You’re always going to need atleast last mile transportation.
They were projection TVs, that typically had three small CRTs (red, green, blue) with lenses that projected the image either onto the screen from the back (rear projection) or bounced off a mirror from the front(front projection).

Color plasma screens did not become a real thing until the early 2000s or so.

> And except for peak usage times

Peak usage times are obviously what matters for congestion

> I would argue it is a net congestion creator rather than congestion reducer

I think buses even outside of peak hours are usually net congestion removers... but if you want them to be congestion removers during peak times, you also need to offer service during other times.
Sails are great, but they are incompatible with the way we load and unload ships now. Ports are designed around unobstructed access from the top. Maybe you could make it work with tankers, but people are risk averse with those. Also sail ships need a lot of crew to handle the sails.

Some shipping companies are experimenting with other ways to use wind. You can deploy kites to pull the ship, but that brings some operational challenges. The more promising idea are probably flettner rotors [1]. Those look like big spinning columns and work on the Magnus effect (how wind puts a 90 degree force on spinning objects). Their limited footprint makes them easy to integrate into existing designs, and since all they do is spin they are easy to use with the small crews of todays ships.

All of those modern ideas are mostly for reducing fuel consumption though, not replacing the engine entirely.

I wonder how much of that uneasiness comes from (the collective) you ceding control to the car vs being a passive passenger in a Waymo.
Go nuclear means the future. Past experiments failing is why I said that ships won’t GO nuclear, implying the future. I was a navy nuke, I know a bit about shipboard nuclear reactors.
20kw on the roof is awesome! Do you have anything high load in your house or property or is it more just to sell back the excess to grid?
> Reminder that if you were a paid subscriber on Substack, you need to set up a new account here on WordPress (sorry!) and you should have gotten a prorated refund already from Substack.

Huh, weird. Just looking at the page said "Substack" to me, but apparently the characteristic Substack styling has been intentionally carried over after the author has deliberately left Substack.

Which boggles my mind, since default Wordpress styling looks much better than Substack's center-of-the-page styling.
Yeah, bus systems suck. People avoid buses because they have unreliable schedules, and dedicated bus lanes are intended to improve that. Putting every rider on a bus into their own dedicated rideshare car isn't really going to improve things, though...
As a one-time avid Tango dancer, while I believe all the motions/steps can (and have been) be sketched out, named, and notated and put to paper, that which can be written down is necessarily insufficient to make it easy for people who understand the syntax but not the dance to replicate the dance easily. Let alone beginners. There's a great deal of unspoken communication in the embrace, in the way the partners' center of gravity is shifted about, in the music and song, in the timing, in their understanding of each other's abilities, and in their personal connection. Those details would have to be rediscovered by those reading the notation.

Some things are just hard to write down with fidelity. Think of tastes: we can have cookbooks, but its hard to reproduce the exact ingredients of grandma's cooking, or that one restaurant. Smells are even harder to express in words. Dance is kinda like that.

None of which is to say that one shouldn't do it, or try. Quite the contrary. It's a good challenge! Even if you could write it all down, leaving a bit of mystery/mystique would be a good idea, but I don't fear that mystique will be lost.
This is my preferred branching model. Most forges seem to call it "semi-linear history". If you have a lot of people working on the repo you'll probably want a merge queue to handle landing PRs but that's pretty straight forward.

It works really well with things like git bisect. It also means history is actually useful.
Do not give anyone the wrong idea that "it will work exactly like before - only better!" Migrations are always bumpy roads and there are always people who hate new things. You don't want to give people who complain about stuff not working exactly as it did before any ammunition.

I don't know how well it works in practice. The other day I bought something from a local webshop (bike parts) on my laptop. The next day I'm seeing an ad from the same webshop on my Facebook feed on my mobile. Yes, it could be coincidental though I do see a lot of bike-related ads and practically never this company. (Even though I am a returning, if not very frequent customer of theirs.)
But a cathode is that terminal of the device where positive current escapes!

It's only a "cathode ray" because it's reversed inside the tube: the terminal where positive current comes out of the device is where the negative current emanates internally to go to the other terminal.

An electron beam shooting out of a device is an anode ray.
It's been tried in the past, and the disarmed populace is often killed by their own government or invaded and displaced via

And maybe then, we also get rid of node, and use compiled languages frameworks on the server.
"China could take the Republic of China without even needing to invade"

When you write the headline properly you can see how dumb a headline it is. Taiwan is the name of a geographical feature (an island), not the name of a country.

Next thing you know, you'll read headlines like "The US could take the Republic of Texas without even needing to invade." or maybe to mimic better the headline above "The US could take Maui without even needing to invade."
So what is the outcome of the kernel war? Performant micro-kernels have settled it no?
For those university accounts they did much worse than revoke "unlimited". They were making a big effort of cutting down to 100TB per university. With a moderate amount of students, that's less than the 15GB a random free personal account gets. A single SSD server (plus replicas) can hold much more than 100TB.
You're not wrong, but you'll also notice I didn't mention any specific email encryption protocols, deliberately so because the question was about general use-cases for signatures that don't reveal the public key used to create them, not whether any particular protocol is susceptible to such an attack. Certainly you can construct a protocol that preserves signer privacy, but the point is that you have to take extra steps to do so because it's not an inherent property of the signature algorithm. And I think the point of the article is that a naive implementation of signatures might not account for that fact.
Does gitk have an equivalent of `git log --first-parent`?
I use Firefox bookmarks and use FF sync to make them available on all platforms. For organization, I keep them in a weird, organically grown folder structure that makes sense to me. If I really can't find something I use bookmark search on desktop Firefox. I occasionally make backups to my file server when I remember. It's an 80/20 solution that works well enough.
`git reflog`
I don't think the drivers are the issue. The infrastructure, including the signage and road markings are vastly more sane and regular in SF than in Boston. And have you seen the road layout in Boston? I have no idea if this will be a challenge for Waymo, but I could imagine why someone would think it would.

The grim future you are painting is one where humans have no jobs because everything is automated. So then we can just play games perform art and let ai do all the crap. Sounds good. People who own the land/resources will want to be paid and there will always be jobs for performers, custom chefs, machine maintainers, teachers of how ai works, politicians that govern use of ai in and across borders. Stop being a child and think about how the world works.

Goodbye VPN by Google One, Hello VPN on Google Cloud
I would strongly disagree with that, do not go into a migration with the expectation that you'll impact people. If you do that, you'll take shortcuts, you'll start thinking in the wrong ways. Suddenly you'll start saying to yourself that the migrated customers should be able to live with X or Y or that your colleagues have to accept that they have to do these various steps because hey, we are doing a migration after all.
Instead it has to retain the exact same behavior at all times. It should cause zero pain whatsoever, if it causes pain you failed at your migration task. Secondly I agree with the other poster that it has to be incremental, otherwise you might as well accept a monumental amount of bugs from the start. My third point is that you should automate as much as possible and write code to do the migration in a repeatable way, first on testdata, and then keep expanding the type of testdata until it encompasses all the possible data that customers can have. Then you run that migration on the press of a button and it should work perfectly every single time you do it.
I read that as “I kind of like freebasing” at first and thought it was a bit racy.
I just checked and the nearest city I could find results for and we have zero extreme days, 25ish very high, and more than half the year very low. Unfortunately (for this purpose; I generally love it here), I'm about as far north as I can get without moving to Alaska or another country.

I think I just have to choose between the risks of skin cancer and the risks of whatever else might happen if I don't get enough sunshine. The latter is a bit more nebulous for the time being, so I guess I'll just keep making sure I don't go out without clothing coverage or high SPF.

I think residential solar was a decent bridge to get things going, and the installed capacity we have is helpful.

Now, though-- at midday we have a glut of power. Residential installations are more expensive per kilowatt hour and don't do as well in reaching into the late afternoon when we need power most. There's no need to add more capacity like this.
Better for those panels to go somewhere else.

There are still times that non-utility scale solar make sense-- it's usually when you get some kind of non-normal-generation related benefit that tips it over into worthwhile, e.g.

- getting a shade structure for a parking lot as part of the rollout

- if you want power backup for your house, adding a bunch of storage and solar

etc.
What I hate about cooking is all the articles are focused on these top .1% of kitchens that have a completely different model from the rest of them.

Example: Sunday morning breakfast service, the guys at your local diner will do say 500 plates during the rush. Swap them out with a few highly educated Michelin star guys and they would struggle to break 100 until they learned how to work in a real kitchen. Some of them would quit, I've seen tears in this situation before.

Programming has a similar problem with most of the "day in the life of a programmer" sort of things being focused at big tech companies.
So a compliant result that makes none of the involved parties truly happy and produces an outcome that no one would have ever asked for. California is very good at this.
> What incentive is there for companies like InterDigital, Ericsson, Nokia, or even Qualcomm to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on each generation of codecs?

If there's no incentive then they are the wrong companies to do the work.

Google, Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Meta, etc. all derive clear and direct benefits from video codec improvements. They have strong incentives to reduce the bandwidth usage and increase the image quality of internet video. That's why they've all contributed to and use AV1:

https://aomedia.org/membership/members/

All protocols and formats on the web are available to implement under royalty-free terms:

https://www.w3.org/policies/patent-policy/

Audio and video are no different. If H.265 can't meet that standard then it's the wrong choice for the web.

AV1 for video and Opus for audio are formats that achieve royalty-free licensing and are better fits for the web and the internet generally.
Why? Sunlight falls everywhere. It’s not obvious to me that there should be efficiencies in capturing solar power centrally and then moving the energy over transmission lines.

If you want one rooftop’s worth of electricity, you can either pay someone else for a rooftop’s worth of real estate and have them run solar panels on it, and transmit the power to you over wires, or you can put solar panels on the rooftop-sized area you already own at zero marginal land cost, and have the electricity already right where you want it.

That that works out economically doesn’t seem like a surprise.
> If you use divs and classes everywhere, you end up using classes for semantic meaning.

You're always going to use classes for semantic meaning anyway, because the HTML standard doesn't and can't define all the semantic distinctions that will be relevant in what you're making.

> use webcomponents for those components that are truly novel. Webcomponents with shadow dom means it can include it's own stylesheet without affecting the rest of the site.

I guarantee you the author of this rant hates webcomponents even more than they hate Javascript. (Indeed I'm pretty sure they qualify as a "JS UI framework").

> But even if you do end up needing a JS framework for some portion of your site, limiting the amount of stuff that needs to be handled by this framework _greatly_ reduces the amount of complexity, and amount of code, that the developer has to write.

You can draw an arbitrary line and say JS is "code" and HTML and CSS are "not code", but that doesn't actually make them any simpler to understand. Expressing your whole site in the same framework used the same way results in something that's much easier to read and maintain.
> That could have brought us to a world wide peace in 1945, but only the First World went along with this idea. The Second World rallied around endless revolution and war until we get a worker's paradise. And the Third World tried to stay out altogether. (Reminder: by the original definition, Switzerland was in the Third World).

How does your thesis explain the countless violent coups orchestrated and death squads funded by the First World, for example Guatemala 1954?
If you really wanted to do this, it would be fairly trivial to implement with Erlang/Elixir. We have thr technology - just no motivation (i.e. no profit in it)
How exactly would we eliminate the scarcity of land?
I learnt that lesson, the way they allowed a small team to screw up C++/CX customers, paying
for Visual Studio licenses, bringing down the whole XAML C++ development experience to the 2000's ATL days.
> Sunday morning breakfast service, the guys at your local diner will do say 500 plates during the rush. Swap them out with a few highly educated Michelin star guys and they would struggle to break 100 until they learned how to work in a real kitchen.

You don't think "Michelin star guys" had to start as line cooks and could easily do 500 plates...?
Obviously I don't know what points you fear I may be making.

What examples were there of anti-colonialism in those times? What influence would they have had over the monarchies and the church of their day? What influence did they exert?

I would contend that the moral compass of Columbus and Cortez was fundamentally different than yours or mine. They were products of a world vastly different than ours. You and I have modern morality; they did not. Since we cannot change the actions of the past, we can only hold them up as examples of how people were, and how they differ from (or are similar to) what we are now.

My complaint is that, to my eyes, you are criticizing them as if we moderns have some power over their actions. How can we expect them to have behaved as we would? We cannot change them or what they did. I'm not sure means "cutting them some slack." They did what they did; we can only observe the consequences and hope to do better.

I agree, their beliefs were wrong. Nonetheless, they believed what their culture taught them to believe. Yes, people of any era are responsible for their own actions, and if they act wrongly according to their culture, they should be punished for it. But if their culture sees no harm in what they are doing, they'll be rewarded. We certainly can't punish or reward them from 500 years in the future. We can only hope that what we believe, and how we act, is better.
scarcity's been around since the dawn of time, even if it's sometimes intentionally worsened. do you see some way of truly eliminating it?
>Make the usage of fossil fuels a crime against humanity

Delusional.

Fossil fuels have been unbelievably beneficial to humanity and are absolutely vital for modern society.

If a theoretical global ruler immediately outlawed fossil fuels they would be remembered as the greatest villain in world history, killing hundreds of millions and plunging us into chaos.

>They require a sensible population to wake up and make the world better without compromises.

No compromises? Sounds like utopian thinking. Tradeoffs exist everywhere.
And so? The context is Windows and Microsoft. I, personally, am a Linux user. The warning about advertising is still true.
The term that came to mind was being "cracked".
SF Deep Tech Week
When I was a dance beginner I wanted to be more analytic about it. Surely one could write it all down and visualize and think about it with rigor! But, no. There are things that just have to be learned the hard way on the floor rather than by memorizing notation/images from a book. Dancing cannot be learned only from analysis. Professional dancers might be able to learn new dances quickly from notation, but let's not kid ourselves: professionals would have to spend some time recreating a dance on the floor, they would bring a great deal of experience that makes that task easier, and they wouldn't end up recreating the original quite the way its long-ago practitioners would see as equal. Amateurs would need quite a bit more time and guidance to recreate a dance well from notation.
Ugh, reminds me of my parent's 35" Sony CRT. The picture was wonderful for its day, but my brother and I almost killed ourselves trying to carry it down the stairs. It was kind of brilliant by Sony in a way since it was so deep, there weren't any TV stands that could properly hold it so you had to buy a TV stand from Sony as well.

Not very well at all. I barely even think of P as having its own sound at all. It has an air puffing sound, but the vowel is the only difference I actually hear with those words.
Does that bump it up to 20kW? I'm not sure it really matters that much (nor does what the power generation method you use is.) I used solar and batteries because you can get them off-the-shelf in small quantities, but my main point was just to demonstrate that buying GPUs requires an incredible amount of capital. Powering them and cooling them requires some capital, but it's a fraction of the cost of the GPUs.
I'd call pooling part of "the DB". "DB Layer" if you must, or the interface to it, whatever. Anyway, AWS has RDS Proxy, which held up pretty well against my (ad hoc and unscientific) load tests. But if you're actually trying to handle 100K DB requests in flight at once, your DB layer probably has some distributed architecture going on already.
