Environmentalists have fought nuclear, wind, solar, and geothermal. They have fought infill housing and push for sprawl. The Sierra Club pushes for policies that increase water use and sprawl. I’m obviously right to ignore them and history will show me as correct.

One or two private jets are irrelevant but pushing for bad policy and opposing good policy places them firmly on the other side. It’s all right. Their time is maybe another decade. Then we roll the whole thing back and get to fixing this world without the opinions of these people who want to ruin the only planet we have so far.
This is a brave comment given that we are about to get 4 more years of Trump and probably a Republican house and senate.

I’m a minority on this most likely but if a website does this, I close it, unless my life depends on it which it rarely does. The same if a website has so many ads that it blocks the content and I don’t have adblock. Life is too short for these games.
Ops person(s) embedded within the Dev team dealing with/helping with/teaching about that one team's "Ops stuff" --> DevOps --> team gets faster because no Ops team hoops to jump through.

A separate DevOps team --> corporate rebrand of the separate Ops team --> no real change, or even slower because more hoops to jump through.

DevOps was always about meant to be about breaking down the separate / silo'd teams and combining them together. Ownership and responsibility is with that single team for their code from development through to production.

The corporate rebrand of Ops teams is what you're coming up against. It does my nut in and I'm sorry to that you have to deal with it.

Did you read the article you linked to? The article is from 2014 saying that Microsoft laid off ~12K after acquiring ~18k of Nokia employees 3 years prior. That left ~5k out of total ~135k, at the time, unaccounted for per Microsoft announcement. Microsoft had 1:1 dev:QA before that. Even if those ~5k were entirely from OSG QA (they weren’t), it wouldn’t come close to “fire all their in-house QA”

Usually these awesome lists are created with enthusiasm, then they get a sponsor or paid link at the top, and sit abandoned and never updated.

You can see the linked list has a link to their android app Plenary at the top, and see the last commit was three years ago. Showing the same pattern.

All the "awesome-xxx" repositories seem to follow this approach, whether by accident or design. I'm sure reviewing and rejecting the expected spammy submissions will take its toll, but it always feels a little more deliberate than that when you see the recurring pattern.

I think that devs really should have a decent understanding of Kubernetes. It is essentially the operating system for any app that needs more than one computer.
Yup… we’re probably building nuke plants. We are also building wind and solar. And some new natural gas plants. We don’t really have a whole lot left to tap for hydro, don’t really have good geography for pumped hydro storage, and while there is a pilot project on the go to try to generate electricity from mediocre geothermal we definitely don’t have good geothermal potential either. But… we sure grow a lot of food! And are starting to look at shuttering the coal plants.

Yes, but this is a system where everyone involved is trying to (help their team) win rather than trying to produce generally efficacious policy.
So there should be magic on every layer except for the application?

That will never happen, the only thing you can do is pay someone like heroku to take care of that for you. Or if your project is small and plain enough you run “serverless” which is just routing to another platform team, as I’m sure you’re familiar.

It’s complicated because there’s a lot that goes on, kubernetes or not.
True, but how often do you get to change your company’s/team’s/product’s entire framework/language/library because you got an ask vs “ok, just bolt on this call whenever you’re doning I/O”

There are counter arguments to this. Clouds and wind are local weather patterns. We can use cables to move power around between areas with and without clouds. Moving power over large distances has gotten more feasible with high voltage direct current (HVDC) cables. There are a few projects in the works to move power from e.g. Australia to Singapore and Morocco to the UK. And there are already cables moving power between e.g. Canada and California, Norway and various countries in Europe, etc. More cables means more resilience in the grid. Continent wide absence of wind and solar generation is not a thing that happens a lot. Certainly not for weeks.

Another point here is that demand shaping is an effective way to deal with fluctuating supply of power. By creating financial incentives, you can get energy consumers to scale up or down their consumption of power. Night tariffs are still common in places with a lot of static generation, for example. With solar generation now being so common, we even get occasional negative energy rates in some places where the static generation can't be scaled down.

Batteries and cables are a key enabler for demand shaping. Also, the time windows that energy gets sold for are getting shorter. It used to be that you'd buy x amounts of mwh for some price for hours. It's now getting down to minutes. That means grids can respond more rapidly to fluctuations in supply and demand. And of course it creates incentives for companies to invest in being able to scale up or down their energy consumption from the grid and benefit from these price fluctuations. For example by having batteries and using their roofs for solar generation.

Base load is of course a very flimsy concept and the discussions about it tend to be very hand wavy and rarely cite specific numbers in GW needed. Because as soon as you do that, you can talk solutions: cables, storage, more solar (it always generates some power), etc. And cost.

Hysterical assertions that we need to spend double digit percentages of GDP on things like nuclear or fusion kind of fall over when you apply some rationality to that. How much power for how much $? Maybe do something less mad and cheaper instead. Build some cables. Add some off shore wind. Much cheaper, faster, and way less risky.

Of course the reality is that we still have plenty of base load for the foreseeable future. That's why the vast increases in wind and solar generation, which are now the dominant source of power in a growing number of places, isn't really causing any outages or rolling blackouts. Whatever amount of base load we need, apparently it's way less than we currently have because we have been removing lots of it from the grid.
> It would literally be impossible for congress to make a law covering every single nuance agencies are tasked with.

What does that even mean? Supposedly these agencies already know what they're tasked with, no? If not... well I mean that's straight up irresponsible.

The other part of this I don't get is that people have been complaining about the "Revolving Door" problem in these agencies for a long time now. They're not sacred, and further we know they're not sacred because we've been complaining about their corruption. So why pretend they're sacred now? Why are there no solutions?

The problem with a lot of the called "progressives" is that they've adhered to a different kind of conservatism, where while the ideals are progressive, every single instance of actually implementing those ideals are conservative and play to old power structure.

Where are the progressive iconoclasts?
This is extremely powerful approach, because instead of manipulating algebraic expression, you just manipulate string diagrams according to well defined and rather simple rules.

For example, large parts of quantum theory, quantum computing and quantum information have been reduced to this diagramatic approach to such a degree that novel research insights are emerging from these techniques. A good introduction is Picturing Quantum Processes [1].

It really is part of Project 2025 and has been in the works for a while now. If they don't like the bureaucracy, Congress has full powers to remove it there was no reason to gut all regulation so they can be tied up indefinitely in court and our courts are overwhelmed by challenges so that every decision takes 15 years to work its way through court.
They do seem very concerned that the gluteal cleft (a quote from their new photo guidelines) was incompatible with their values. Concerned enough to forego a decent number of their sellers.

Hopefully concerned enough that they will then allow a solid competitor to emerge.
Reddit post exposed student who faked father's death for university scholarship
Why would you expect a lot of electrolysis right now? There is basically no market since electricity oversupply is still a relatively rare event and natgas is cheap. That doesn’t mean that the technology is immature.
SO f*ng cool!!!!
Forgive me if I'm missing your existing realization (I did a quick check of your HN, reddit, twitter, LW), but I think the big deal with Sohu (wrt Etched) is that they have pivoted from the "all model parameters hard etched onto the chip" to "only transformer(matmul etc) ops etched onto the chip".

Soho does not have the LLaMA 70b weights directly lithographed onto the silicon, as you seem? to be implying with attachment to that 6month old post.

Seems like a sensible pivot; I'd imagine they're rather up to date on the pulse of dynamically updated nets potentially being a major feature in upcoming frontier models, as you've recently been commentating on. However, I'm not deep enough in it to be sure how much this removes their differentiation vs other AI accelerator startups.
So much of DevOps is being folded back into traditional roles now that the tooling has stabilized, and people are becoming disillusioned with the build, test, deploy loop.

It doesn't scale very well: the larger the codebase/team, the more burden on each individual to make this work.
The type of "sharing" that copyright was intended to facilitate is "make it part of the corpus of cultural works enjoyed by the people" in contrast to "art is something that rich people commission and then hoard in a palace". You can disagree with my choice of word if you want, it's orthogonal to the point I was making above -- people can access more media today than ever, art and culture is flourishing. Copyright (in general) is observably fulfilling the purpose it was intended to serve. Kings do not sit in their palace and listen to Taylor Swift and watch Marvel movies, the people do.

> compiled/DRMed/etc will never enter (be shared with) the public domain even after the copyright term expires - rather it will still remain subject to the technical protections.

You could argue da Vinci did the same with his underdrawings. And many other artists have similarly not shared their sources. You're making more of an argument about a right of collaboration, which is not only a completely different argument, it is the opposite of what copyright attempts to do, which is to give rights to the original artist.

If you're making the suggestion that artists should be compelled to share sources, I disagree and think that is extremely shortsighted. Sharing should be done voluntarily by the artist, and if they don't want to share their sources and methods, they shouldn't be required to. In absence of that right, chilling effects on artistic freedom are an obvious outcome. I love FOSS licensing, but those types of arrangements should be voluntarily chosen by authors, not compelled by the force of law.

I think it's more analogous to the overlap between police and prosecutors. Those who are the object of regulatory enforcement can and do bring their objections to courts. Another difference is that agency rulemaking is not made in a vacuum; there's a pretty elaborate rulemaking process which includes (iirc) notices of proposed rulemaking, mandatory public comment periods spanning months, pre-publication of draft rules to allow the possibility of litigation and so on.
Ahould your original post read “chronometer” instead of chronograph? I also understand chronograph to mean a stopwatch complication, which is different from a chronometer certification.
If congress doesn't like how federal agencies implement the law they are free to pass laws to clarify their intent. They don't need unelected and unaccountable Justices to do that for them.
Generally speaking they are considered "unelectable" and thus mostly exert influence indirectly if at all. Especially in the United States, even many "progressive" causes that have become relatively mainstream (in terms of popular support) are viewed by most people as having very little actual political representation due to the two-party system, and this has been well-understood by most people who call themselves progressives for several decades.
Same, once you go EV can't stand how slow and stinky gas cars are.
That doesn't seen like a reasonable interpretation. The power is vested in Congress, so they can use it. Delegating authority to an agent is not exactly novel and it definitely doesn't somehow mean that Congress no longer has that power.
It’s very complicated, and if a lawyer tells you it’s not you need to get a new lawyer. Whether something is fair use is determined based on a number of different factors that all are weighed. There’s not some simple if-then algorithm to tell you the answer. There is case law which sets up some known points in the space, but if you walk off that manifold, no one knows how things will be weighed.

LLMs are off the manifold in a lot of ways. We’ve never had a form of information digestion/encoding quite like them.

Politically, both content creators and AI companies see this decision as existential. Ruling one way or the other is actually almost unthinkable. The only solution is going to be some compromise that comes from Congress, because the sorts of things that would be in such a compromise can’t be imposed by the courts with existing legislation.

The regime and its media arm insisted up until the debate, contrary to all that is apparent to plain sight, that Biden is in excellent shape and is sharp enough to execute the duties of the POTUS.

Within minutes after the debate, all of them are singing in unison that Biden is unfit and needs to step aside. There are Op Eds in NYT, WaPo and endless parade of the usual suspects on TV saying exactly the SAME thing.

It is indeed glorious to watch an "op" execute in real time.

The second web browser came in 1992. Unlike the first one from 1990 that was written in "Objective C" for _only_ NeXT computers (thanks to Steve Jobs BS), this one was written in C and thus portable to multiple operating systems and multiple architectures. It was distributed with a library, libwww, and at least thirty(!) simple, example programs illustrating how to use the library to write programs to access websites.

IMHO, it puts to shame the bloated, non-portable, overly-complicated, advertising-sponsored crap that is distrubuted today.

30 small example programs written in C plus documentation for every one. Good luck finding something like that today.

Yep, I'm running the exact opposite direction as the person you replied to. I just turned on my phone for the first time since Monday. I've had it sitting in my sock drawer all week.

My young son is really getting into tennis and I grew up playing as well so I’m excited.

It’s hard not to let my imagination run wild about him walking out center court at Wimbledon (okay fine I’d take the French Open too), with me in the stands cheering him on.

But then I see what it takes to even get to a D1 level (private coaching, academies where he’s fodder for the golden goose, et al) let alone making it to The Show and I would never in a million years want to subject my child to that kind of torture.

I’ve come to accept it’s most likely he might play in high school and him and I can enjoy playing together as a fun bonding activity.

Serena said in that HBO documentary about her that she’d never put her kids into the Tennis machine and that’s about as much validation as I’ll ever need.
> I think it's more analogous to the overlap between police and prosecutors.

Those both fall under the executive branch. Plus, Chevron deference was about the court's actions, not prosecutors'.

That gives the illusion of a democratic process, but in reality, agency rulemakers are not accountable to the people, whereas Congress is. Keep in mind that the fisheries regulation in question on this case was passed during the Trump administration– so it's not like electing a conservative to head the executive put a stop to excess regulation, which is generally a position that conservatives advocate.

Technically, SCOTUS, as the highest court, isn't beholden to anyone's precedent. This year's SCOTUS is just as legitimate as last year's, so they always have the power to overturn past decisions. Lower courts have to follow what higher courts decide, but SCOTUS has no higher authority. And sometimes, like in Brown vs. Board of Ed (which ended legal segregation), it's a very good thing for the Court to overturn its past decisions.

But in practice, to non-lunatics, stare decisis (the legal principle that says not to overturn, or even consider, topics that have already been decided in the past without an extremely good reason) is an incredibly important prior to bring into any discussion. If the court actually uses its power to completely rewrite the rules of how government works on a whim - and let's be clear, that's what this decision does - then there's no way for anyone to ever make a plan. Nothing is stable.

Unfortunately, at least 5/9 of the current Supreme Court are either lunatics or blatantly corrupt. Chevron was decided unanimously for a reason. There is no way to administer a modern state without that concept - which is why right-wing extremists are so happy to see it gone, because they don't want the state administered.
