A distributed approach to pumped hydro might make sense. Massive reservoirs are useful, but smaller systems could also offset fossil fuel use. There are already millions of water tanks across the world that store water for households and towns. Convert them to solar and add more for other small energy uses; build enough of them and the amount of power in aggregate will be significant. While these small storage tanks could only supply small amounts of electricity, they could be enough to power many applications, and perhaps using hydraulic actuators would increase the efficiency. For example, automatic doors could all be powered by stored water pumped by solar. Add a second storage tank below so the water is re-used instead of continually consuming fresh water. Windmills could do the pumping also. There are probably millions of applications for small energy storage systems like this. Divide and conquer is another approach to scaling, and small systems are not at all tied to having suitable sites for large reservoirs.
I’m puzzled by the poor texture quality in these. The colours are just bad - it looks like the textures are blown out (the detail at the bright end clip into white) and much too contrasty ( the turkey does that transition from red to white via a band of yellow). I wonder why that is - was the training data just done on the cheap?
That's true, though I always have felt that if I needed PXE+TFTP to boot the bootloader I might as well just load a kernel+initrd from the same place and be done with it; I couldn't remove the TFTP requirement so anything else would just be extra things to configure. If UEFI can really do pure HTTP (as discussed upthread) then I may need to reevaluate. (Well, for Raspberry Pis I'll have to keep TFTP, but maybe in other contexts I can drop it)

The possibility of failure should be contextualized with data. Gen 3 reactors are statistically orders of magnitude safer than any other power source, per GWh produced. Demonstrating how they are extremely safer than any other energy source.

Mmh, like the 0-1 victims of Fukushima?

Nuclear power plants, just with Fukushima have demonstrated their tremendous reliability. We're talking about a 60-year-old reactor, which in the face of extreme conditions managed to minimize any kind of harm to humans.
I still play TA every now and then. It's STILL fun, much more fun than SC2 to be honest, especially with the homebrew units that people seemed to have created over the last 30 years! I remember when I used to play against my cousin before the turn of the century and we would be playing across the continental US east coast to west coast. We maxed out the units to 500, gave each other 30 mins of build time, and then launch massive attacks. It would slow down to something like 1 FPS when the fighting was the most intense but it never crashed and it was rock solid and probably the most impressive piece of software I've seen.
It seems that all that's needed as a counterargument are soldiers with the same set of symptoms that remained married. Additionally, we could compare the divorced who were never exposed to such explosions and see how suicide rates compare.

In other words, data is always a better choice than narratives.

The main option right now for what you described is to contribute labor or money to open source projects, which many people do - but not nearly enough. The sad reality is that the vast majority of people, even well meaning ones, don't want to pay for things if they don't have to. And it is generally the case that if you are paying for something, you have a societally accepted moral standing to complain about it as a paying customer.
That's a very anecdotal experience.

I met my ex-wife in Madrid where I lived for 4 years and where she was from. That's where I learned Spanish as a second language. After we moved back to California, we obviously met and spoke to many Mexicans over the years. Zero problems communicating for her, ever. Spanish is still Spanish.

Thanks for your comment! Yes, there is a place for higher sample rates and bit depths - especially for authoring content and playback on high-end systems. As you mention, real-time effects can also benefit.

I could have worded what I said better; I don't think people are arguing it's never needed, just that on a small board like this (with limited space for more filtering, isolation, balanced inputs/outputs, etc), other factors can somewhat limit the usefulness of higher sample rates and bit depths. That said, the audio quality has been great for the things I've done with the board.

I wrote this email to the bugtraq mailing list when I was 20, 26 years ago: https://insecure.org/sploits/MesaGL.openGL.overflow.html

I've learnt a lot since (see CV). Now I'm mostly interested in cloud-native system architecture, AI/ML, data engineering, platform engineering and developer tooling. I've managed large teams, but I'm not above doing the work myself. Mostly looking for fractional CTO roles or similar for ambitious early stage startups.

We'd be a healthier society if the early days of ultra processed food had been met with skepticism instead of prostration to corporations changing the nature of food for profit.
Congratulations to the team! So the (blank tape) halting problem is solved for 5-state 2-color Turing machine programs. Has anyone tried applying these same techniques to the 2-state 4-color case? That seems like it would probably be tractable, although generally speaking colors are more powerful than states, so there might be some surprises there. (6-state 2-color and 2-state 5-color both seem intractable, perhaps even provably so.)

By the way, there is an extremely stupid but disturbingly widespread idea that humans are able to just intuit solutions to the halting problem, using the mind's eye or quantum mechanics in the brain or whatever. Needless to say, this did not factor into the proof.
Android stopped exposing USB Mass Storage, because it's problematic for the core use case of letting you grab pictures and what not from your phone, because it requires exclusive access to a filesystem; that wouldn't be a big deal for you, I don't think, you probably just want to create a large file and expose that as a device, but the implications of exposing the sd card (or the virtual sd card) as mass storage are why it went out of style.

Not sure why you're being downvoted, because this is how the JS and Python ecosystems are becoming as well. Obviously, there's a lot of innovation that's happening (or at least the authors think so), but it's still possible to move a package forward without breakage.

It'd be great if communities could adopt the Go backwards compatibility promise[0] (it's best-effort, after all) so that packages continue to compile for a decade into the future and only introduce breaking changes for security reasons.

It's actually not that difficult to do -- just needs to be made an important goal of any project, and it makes it much easier to trust the stability of the dependency.

> That act, that conversation is now protected.

It's even worse than that. The Supreme Court says prosecutors can't even question the motive for that corrupt action, meaning that essentially all conversations between a President and his AG are de jure assumed to be above board.

We must assume the President opened an investigation into his opponent because he had a good reason to do so. Otherwise we might restrict his ability to take
bold and decisive action, according to the court.

So, we were tipped off to Codestral being really good because of continue.dev - for reference, that's a VSCode extension that gives you similar features to Cursor. After we trialled it out head-to-head against GPT-4o for fill-in-the-middle completion, in my experience (purely vibe based), it produced better completions maybe twice as fast as GPT-4o.

We haven't tried vs Sonnet 3.5 yet - my hunch is that on the speed/quality/cost space, Sonnet will end up doing better than Codestral for some folks.

Against general purpose local models (taking Llama-70B as a high-water mark), Codestral does better far better on code related tasks while being less than 1/3rd the size (22B!). That said, I'm definitely exited to try out DeepSeek Coder v2 - by all reports, it's amazing model for code completion and will likely also beat out Codestral.

I don't think we're planning to fine-tune Codestral though (or any model for that matter). The latest models keep on becoming faster, better and cheaper AND they already work quite well. My thinking at this time is that waiting it out and having a big AI lab make a more capable general model is a better strategy.

It absolutely does. But great, let's look forward to Printables being ruined by off-model nonsense.
Trump is on trial for multiple crimes committed in office.

I didn't say "every little bit helps".

"80/20" absolutely can't be applied to "almost everything" and assuming it can is lazy thinking.

Even if it does apply in this case, just because as secondary cause has 1/4 impact, that doesn't mean you should ignore it. Sometimes secondary causes have cost effective solutions that mean it is more efficient to address first. Simply ignoring this possibility like you are suggesting is not smart.
But it’s not sold in stores. You never see references to it in culture unless someone is making fun of that weird time people bought rocks as pets.

> My experience maintaining old codebases is that you are just as hard-pressed to find a justification to write code to use new language features, or even to take the time to upgrade the language and compiler version.

That's perfectly fine. You should only pay for what you use.

Your average project, however, consumes dependencies and needs to keep them updated. Just because the code you write doesn't use them that doesn't mean your dependencies don't. So everyone still benefits with each release of C++ even if the are not using fancy features.
> general anxiety and frustration with other people

This is, I think, a critical point; I don't know if it's autism specific or general anxiety, but some people really remember any time they made a mistake, and will try and navigate around it - to the point of obnoxiousness.

Recent example, I was in a meeting, someone asked a question, I was the person to answer the question. However, they didn't stop after asking the question - they started to elaborate, with like "what if x" or "could it be y" etcetera. On the one side it felt like they were talking to themselves. But now I wonder if they were just anxious, because they once upon a time asked a question and were misinterpreted or ignored entirely.

Another thing I notice is that a lot of people will keep talking until they are interrupted. To the point where they start to reiterate their point, propose answers to the question they just asked, etc. I'm not sure where that's from, possibly exactly from being interrupted so often that it's become expected.
Apparently, this is the proof in 19,000 lines of Coq:

AFAICT nothing changes as far as the remedy of impeachment as a check. The court is saying that the president has broad immunity from criminal charges in the judicial system, not that he can't be removed from power.
