This is true but also hits the core of the problem: many of those agricultural users have old claims on water which were set in an unusually wet period. The state of California can tell a city to use less more easily than a farmer who has a legal right to use a particular water source.
It could just mean he never tried to analyze it.

Has Airbus been discovered to have decades long cost cutting, cutting corners, negligence, bribes, passenger deaths, incompetence, and criminal activity?
Nitpicking, but I’d say that it’s a valid question with a trivial answer. A problem is just a set of question/answer pairs. “P?=NP” is just a decision problem with a single instance, and all decision problems with finite instances are decidable in constant time.

Consider this rephrasing of the question: “Let X be an NP-complete problem. Can X be solved in polynomial time?” This is a problem with an infinite number of instances, all of which reduce to “P?=NP”, so we know that this problem can be decided in constant time.
Looking for places open until midnight really limits your options.
Then the city folk pay for desalinated water and the rest goes to agriculture. The problem is, the country does need the food produced in California.

C++ gets bad publicity only from evangelists of the flavour of the month of self-described "successor of C++". They don't have a sales pitch beyond "C++ bad" and that's what they try to milk.

Requiring Docker implies that a packaging tool is too simplistic to do its job.
I think the intuition people want to apply here is that ‘is P=NP’ feels like an instance of a class of questions - ‘is P=x’, and if that is computable, then it implies we can attack P=NP by coming up with a way to compute it and feeding in NP.

But I think the issue there is the assumption that it even makes sense to define a function over ‘classes of questions’.
I find the time-dependent version much more interesting:

Show HN: The Tomb of SETI I and Netherworld Texts Virtual Tour
The Netherworld texts on the walls of the Tomb of Seti I are worth a deeper read. They describe the journey of Ra through the 12 hours of the night and begin outward from the burial chamber to the entrance of the tomb.

I 3d scanned this tomb and put together the guided virtual tour. The tomb also has a much deeper corridor beneath the burial chamber that still hasn't been fully excavated.

The texts are from the Book of the Gates, the Amduat, the Litany of Ra, the Opening of the Mouth, and the Book of the Heavenly Cow. People visit tombs like these without the opportunity to understand the texts and paintings on their walls because ancient Egyptian religion is a little more inaccessible.

In researching the walls, I used Hornung's study from 1991 and the Darnells' recent compilation of the Netherworld texts, as well as the Theban Mapping Project and a few other books.

I included photogrammetry of a few artifacts from various museums around the world with artifacts discovered in the tomb or relevant to Seti I -- though there's still a missing column face removed by Lepsius and now in the Neues Museum in Berlin.

I built the virtual tour with Three.js and captured with Polycam and Insta360, and photogrammetry of the full tomb is on Sketchfab -- and coming to a VR headset soon. I left off many of the vfx from earlier tombs because they caused performance issues--I'll add these in the VR build.

And most importantly, extra thanks to the Matterport team that encouraged exploring cinematic mode work with the virtual tours! Thanks for any feedback.

This works for domestic usage - not agriculture - and might be a good use for the huge amount of excess solar capacity were likely to have soon, but it’s expensive and NIMBYs are not going to want salt and other waste building up in their neighborhoods. It seems inevitable that they’ll have some capacity but I doubt it’ll ever reach the level where conservation measures relative to 20th century usage levels won’t be necessary.
Again, in fairness, the user you’re responding to did say in another comment that these threads were a bunch of low effort comments by people with no understanding.

Yup, that.

I'd imagine it's more complicated than that. If you use iOS or Android, I'd imagine there's some practice of Google or Apple that you object to, so it's not practical to do it in all cases.

In my experience, I try to avoid companies with objectionable practices, but in a lot of cases, all the vendors are varying degrees of unscrupulous. Or the vendors that are ethical have a significantly worse customer experience because they're playing fair against competitors who are playing unfair. So, I'm left to either choose the least bad vendor or face massive inconvenience from not using a competitive vendor.

How about in the tiny cities discussed in the article that have the current problem?

It’s also easy to make it a year without an infraction: just don’t drive. Use Uber or get a friend/family to drive you. This gets easier in the cities. I know several people who have drivers licenses that never drive because they don’t have to. Do they deserve money at the end of the cycle?
This was originally planned in conjunction with the San Onofre nuclear power plant, which gave all of SoCal amazing power and offered the infrastructure for performing desalination in conjunction with ocean water used for cooling parts of the reactor. Sadly, some hippie in Sacramento decided to kill our power plant so now energy prices have soared and we’ve lost the potential for desalinated water in San Diego, Orange and LA counties. My buddy has been working the decommission for a decade now. Given a few beers, the rants are quite illuminating and disappointing

This is crying out for an update, IMHO.
nowadays it is usually not the default anymore, since tcp connections and unix pipes have other ways to avoid overflowing their buffers. the history is that that keybinding originated on its. as i understand it, its also had another flow control protocol to avoid overflowing serial terminal buffers, the moral equivalent of the enq/ack scheme, which doesn't depend on hard real-time responsiveness to work reliably. (but it wasn't just literally ^e and ^f since emacs uses those even more than ^s.)

initially to get emacs running on unix systems you had to do a lot more than just stty -ixon -ixoff; you had to upgrade your host's ram and convince the other users that an editor was a reasonable use of such a large amount of resources. by comparison, adding a couple of extra wires to the modem cable to support rts/cts flow control (which was more reliable anyway) was no big deal

but yeah, it was a big pain for about 15 years, from 01990 to 02005. it still bites me occasionally when i accidentally type ^a^f in screen and accidentally enable xoff!

So what would you call something like "it implements some common operations", like these?

For example, the Option and Result type both have functions like "map", they do the same thing just on different types. They're not quite generic in that sense, but on a high level they seem so.

Another example are reactive libraries. Everything is pegged into some common operations like map, take, and so on.

California cannot even run a balanced budget without adding more megaprojects like large-scale desalination. The only way this would work is if it was private development encouraged by properly pricing water usage in the state (i.e. much higher than it is today).
Hmm, I don't have numbers, but I'm pretty sure UK feeds soy to livestock (e.g. chickens).

But, I was just answering the question. And 70% of soy grown globally goes to feeding animals.

And while I agree that some (I doubt it's most, but happy to see numbers) cattle is raised on marginal lands, that isn't the point being made. Animal agriculture is still the leading cause of deforestation.

Also, just because land can't grow crops doesn't mean it has to be cleared of it's native flora and fauna to grow meat. It's still deforestation.

Technically the ESP doesn't have to be a FAT32 partition. UEFI has file system drivers installable at runtime [1], so you could have an ESP partition that isn't FAT32... assuming that the file system driver for it is loaded. UEFI implementations must have built-in support for FAT per the specification, but you'd need to slipstream any extra EFI drivers into your platform's firmware that are required to get to the ESP.

I think that ESP partitions formatted as HFS+ were a thing on Intel Macs, but I've never had one to try it out.

Fellas, is it bad to invest and create jobs now?
Absolutely to both questions, with different answers depending on what style of strategy you’re running.

The market mechanics trades tend to have no recoverability if you miss the opportunity, so you’re often trading out in error and it’s a matter of trying to stem the loss on a position that you do not have an opinionated value signal on.

And there’s definitely an angle to inbound processing speed for both styles of trading, with differing levels of sensitivity depending on the time horizons you are attempting to predict or execute against. Using the example above again, detecting the arb opportunity and firing quickly is obviously paramount, but if you’re running a strategy where you have a 1 minute predictive time horizon sure, there’s some loss that can be associated with inefficiency if you aren’t moving quickly and someone else is firing at a similar signal, but generally speaking there’s enough differentiation in underlying alpha between you and any competitors that the sensitivity to absolute speed isn’t as prevalent as most people expect.

Basically it boils down to going fast enough to beat the competition, and if there isn’t any you have all the time in the world to make decisions and act on them.
Your argument about advertising being zero sum might as well be applied to any form of business (we all have a certain amount of money, and we choose where to spend it). I’m not sure how you can believe business in general is zero sum — it’s the only reason we’re now not living in caves.

I get that we’re all embittered by having annoying, low-quality adverts thrust in our faces, but there’s no need to become completely cynical about economies in general.

The salt goes back out into the ocean, which is rather large.

Desalination is practical when paired with nuclear power (there is a possibility for even things like directly using the heat from nuclear to desalinate without converting to electricity and then back to heat first). But California seems dead-set on shuttering any nuclear plants and using imported power made with fossil fuels in other states instead.

My in laws have to deal with rolling blackouts during very hot days at dusk. Perhaps after telling town residents not to flush toilets, take showers, or order tap water in restaurants, we can next just say to use no electricity at all. Might as well go back to the Stone Age.

The exact wording (as of now, I do not know if he edits) is: "Could the P versus NP question itself be NP-hard, and therefore impossible to solve?"

That clearly implies solving. Aaronson is pretty sloppy with his own definitions and yet criticizes his students.

An unambiguous presentation would be:

1) Contrary to usual language use, we define "answer P?=NP" as "print 'yes' or 'no' or 'undecidable'".

2) By "program" we do not mean a single program, but three separate programs that print "yes", "no", or "undecidable".

3) We claim the existence of the program, not that it will ever be possible to know which of the three programs is correct.

FYI, San Diego has a desalination plant that cost about a billion dollars to build and provides water equivalent to that used by 400,000 homes [1]. The lack of the San Onofre plant doesn't seem to be a limiting factor.

But it’s not replicating results that a human would give you.

Since it’s not giving the same type of results, then it’s not doing the same thing. If anything, LLMs have definitively ruled out probabilistic guessing as the model for human intelligence.

Even now, you’re trying to force LLMs onto human intelligence. Insisting it is despite it not delivering the results. And I’m sure you believe if we just fire up another few million gpus, we’d get there. But we’ll just get wrong faster. LLMs don’t produce new, they just remix old
That's missing the point. The root comment is asking for a different product (one that integrates with Jira) than the one offered by the op (one that replaces Jira). The manner in which such a product would exist isn't the concern of my argument.
Most of the problem goes away if you can get market pricing for agricultural usage. That would incentivize not focusing on high-water crops like almonds or alfalfa animal fodder but it’s politically challenging due to all of the conflicting water claims based on supply levels which are not compatible with the current values. You’d need to do something like an eminent domain claim on water rights in some cases going back to the Spanish era, and since it splits almost exactly down party lines you have to plan for extended delays or a SCOTUS decision that they don’t have the power to do so.
This is becoming a larger trend and it will hurt open source generally because of the efforts at pushing American culture war issues globally.

Zoning is the least of your worries about keeping new housing from being built. There is an unwillingness to raze older buildings or industrial brownfields and turn them into housing.
