Letting each franchise choose their meat supplier sounds like a nightmare for things like allergen menus. You do want things standardized across the entire country for a chain.
as far as I understand there's a market based solution. producers bid prices for time slots (consumers too, but that's less important from the perspective of a solar power plant) and if they win the contract is live, they need to input for that slot. if they miss (go over or under) they get paid less (and of course a penalty is possible too, theoretically it's the same)

this incentivizes better capacity and availability forecasting for solar installations, and preserves the usual dynamics of the open energy market.

..

the problem is with these super small ones, where initially states just let people connect it, because it's green, yey. (but now DSOs started to make connecting waay harder. and regulators are investigating, eg. in Spain. [0])

of course the non-residential installations already usually need aFRR capability. (eg. this is the case in Hungary.)

and there's already a market for "reserves" in the EU. (but the interconnection rate is below the target 15% as far as I know. but still, there are intra-state markets, etc.) and we can see that when solar is high the reserve prices are surging. [1]

How is a mono repo the simple solution compared to one repo per independently releasable component ?

All the tooling is much easier to use when each application has its own repo.
interesting! that's a mathematically provable statement? or do you mean, most data can be represented as a graph? (I'm not asking antagonistically; I'm genuinely interested in the statement you made)
Wouldn't this be a reasonable alternative? Asking because I don't have experience with this.

1. New shared builds update container images for applications that comprise the environment

2. Rather than a "devbox", devs use something like Docker Compose to utilize the images locally. Presumably this would be configured identically to the proposed devbox, except with something like a volume pointing to local code.

I'm interested in learning more about this. It seems like a way to get things done locally without involving too many cloud services. Is this how most people do it?

Agreed--my suggestion isn't to take more risk, but to highlight the current very high risk that NASA is already taking. Both Starliner and Dragon have a loss-of-crew risk of at least 1 in 500. That is unbelievably high, and I think NASA could drive interest in the space program if they (appropriately) highlighted that risk.
> The only difference here would be that for some reason you trust the websites of your Linux distro vendor, but not netboot.xyz?

"Some" reason? I think I'd have a very good reason to place much more trust in the Debian folks than some guy who runs some random netbooting website.

It would be nice to add a guide or a question in the FAQs about using your PC keyboard for MIDI input. I've explored the project and the menus a bit, but I can't get it to work from the browser (Firefox, Linux).
In a serial computer, you have a 1-bit ALU, say an full adder that generate a sum and carry. Each clock cycle you read two bits and feed them into the adder, and then you write back the sum. You hold the carry in a flip-flop to use in the next clock cycle. It's just like doing a binary addition with pencil and paper, one bit at a time.

Note that you need to start with the lowest bit with a serial computer, which explains why x86 is little-endian. It goes back to the Datapoint 2200, a desktop computer made from TTL chips and running serially. The Intel 8008 processor was a copy of the Datapoint 2200 (as was the Texas Instruments TMX 1795). Although the 8008 was parallel, it copied the little-endian architecture of the Datapoint 2200.
Good question! Compared to Protocol Buffers and Apache Avro, that each have their own specialised schema languages created by them, for them, JSON BinPack taps into the popular and industry-standard JSON Schema language.

That means that you can use any tooling/approach from the wide JSON Schema ecosystem to manage schema evolution. A popular one from the decentralised systems world is Cambria (https://www.inkandswitch.com/cambria/).

That said, I do recognise that schema evolution tech in the JSON Schema world is not as great as it should be. I'm a TSC member of JSON Schema and a few of us are definitely thinking hard on this problem too and trying to make it even better that the competition.
That's what happens when thanks to Henry Ford every middle class American could afford a car by 1940. It took Europeans another 30 years.

No -- as discussed upthread, clang's musttail attribute requires the target function to have the same number of arguments as the caller and for each argument to be similar to the corresponding caller argument. That's stricter than the underlying LLVM musttail marker (when targeting the tailcc/swifttailcc calling conventions) and is too restrictive to implement Wasm's tail-call feature (and probably Scheme's, etc.), at least if arguments are getting passed to functions natively.

It would be nice if the more relaxed rules of the LLVM musttail marker with tailcc could be exposed in clang (and gcc). I think that's basically what "return goto" would do.

I never said I was gonna do it without the person’s signed consent. That’s your wrong assumption. I even asked if he wanted to do it. I was not even 100% sure it would be possible. I just assumed Cambodia would have the same processes as the US FOIA. Google it yourself.

For the connection, it is also your assumption that it is with local authorities. For all you know, I could mean any international law firm that is willing to do some paper work. See how your biases cloud your views? You assume the worst for anyone not sharing your backgrounds or views.

As for harassing, I don’t think calling out people’s BS on the internet is harassing and it should be protected as an exercise in freedom of speech. That’s what I tried to do. Calling out what I believed was complete BS.

Do I need to make Cambodia look better? No but I have actually been there and I have seen the bomb craters left from Nixon and LBJ’s bombs and I read about the subsequent effects the bombings had. Take from this whatever you want.

The argument would be that for simple organization, dividing things into independently releasable components is less simple than just having one app. I think that's what most simple organizations do, no? Why do you need the complexity of independently releasable components for your simple organization? Now you have to track compatibility between things, ensure what version of what independently releasable thing works with what version of what independently releasable other thing, isn't that added complexity? Why not just have one application, isn't that simpler? You don't need to worry about incompatibilities between your separately releasable things -- every commit that passes CI on your single repo means all the parts are compatible (sans untested bugs).

Usually it stops being "simpler" at a level of organizational complexity or code size where it becomes a mess. The "monorepo" is the attempt to do what everyone was just doing anyway for simple orgs with simple codebases, but keep doing it at huge sizes.

The good news is that we Citizens wont have to worry about being tracked, because they patented the ability to facially recognize a face that's opted out from the facial recognition opt out database by scanning the face to see if the face is recognized in the face recognition opt_out table. It works the same way the fingerprint data base is used to make sure you dont have any fingerprints at the crime scene, by logging your prints in the crime database where you have opted out of having committed crimes, as shown by the fact that the crimes_committed field in your entry isnt not_null.

The "turning the grid up to 11" attack isn't really possible. I know it seems like it is, but the inverters will only advance frequency so much before they back off, the inverters will only increase voltage so much. Etc. Sounds scary, isn't practical.

Turning everything off when the panels are at peak output? That lets frequency sag enough that plants start tripping offline to protect themselves and the grid and it'll cascade across the continent in just a few minutes. Then you have a black start which might take months.

There's an excellent video on how catastrophic a black start is. https://youtu.be/uOSnQM1Zu4w?si=x0dA7X7-19CJm6Kf
They did dozens of tests of the Minuteman missiles and reentry vehicles. The warheads were tested underground until the comprehensive test ban treaty of 1996. So it's pretty likely that the systems would work if needed. One risk is that something may have gone wrong with the warheads over 30 years. (Of course they maintain them, but without testing you can't be sure.) Another risk is that you don't know how the missiles would function in an environment with nuclear blasts and EMP all over the place. They put a whole lot of effort into mitigating these factors, but you can't be sure. Hopefully we never find out.

Can you show a common case where ripgrep is meaningfully slower than grep?

Here are a few common cases where ripgrep is meaningfully faster than GNU grep 3.11 on Linux.

The setup:

$ cd /dev/shm
$ curl -LO 'https://burntsushi.net/stuff/OpenSubtitles2018.raw.sample.en.gz'
$ gunzip OpenSubtitles2018.raw.sample.en.gz

A simple case:

$ time rg -c 'Sherlock Holmes' OpenSubtitles2018.raw.sample.en
502

real 0.102
user 0.056
sys 0.046
maxmem 903 MB
faults 0

$ time LC_ALL=C grep -c 'Sherlock Holmes' OpenSubtitles2018.raw.sample.en
502

real 0.378
user 0.255
sys 0.122
maxmem 21 MB
faults 0

A case with multiple substrings:

$ time rg -c -e 'Sherlock Holmes' -e 'John Watson' -e 'Irene Adler' -e 'Professor Moriarty' OpenSubtitles2018.raw.sample.en
628

real 0.128
user 0.077
sys 0.050
maxmem 903 MB
faults 0

$ time LC_ALL=C grep -c -e 'Sherlock Holmes' -e 'John Watson' -e 'Irene Adler' -e 'Professor Moriarty' OpenSubtitles2018.raw.sample.en
628

real 0.580
user 0.516
sys 0.063
maxmem 21 MB
faults 0

You can run the `rg` commands with `--no-mmap` to get slightly slower but roughly similar times but using standard `read` syscalls instead of file-backed memory maps.

I chose these cases because they represent common and simple queries. And, specifically, it's searching a single text file. There isn't anything involving parallelism or skipping files or recursive search or whatever.
There was an area of redundant symmetric electronic design, that auto compensated for component level failures. I remember reading an "aerospace" manual all about it when I was a kid. It was necessitated when the tolerance and reliability of components were terrible by today standards.

Note too, that mil spec silicon is different in that it is resistant to CMOS latch-up, redundant CRC protected self-correcting consensus register ops, and large gate sizes less sensitive to Gamma radiation.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of what an App Store policy is.

You're reasoning as though the policy is for Apple to follow. No. It's for developers to follow. Apple can put whatever it wants on the App Store, the policies are guidance for developers to give them a fighting chance that their apps will be accepted. If Apple wants an app, it'll go on the store. If they don't, it won't.

As I mentioned in another part of the thread - the way you get that under control in a computed goto interpreter (or a switch loop interpreter) is careful use of noinline.

Also, it probably depends a lot on what you’re interpreting. I’ve written, and been tasked with maintaining, computed goto interpreters for quite a few systems and the top problem was always the branches and never the register pressure. My guess is it’s because all of those systems had good noinline discipline, but it could also just be how things fell out for other reasons.

Other than stating there was one, they didn’t show a benefit of this over something like a Wide and Deep model, DCNv2 model, or even a vanilla NN. Transformers make sense if you need to use something N items ago as context (as in text) where N is large. But in their example, any model which takes the last ~5 or so interactions should be able to quickly understand contextual user preferences.

A transformer may also be larger than their baseline, but you still need to justify how those parameters are allocated.
Same is true for heat pumps.
The author seems to imply, as if it were generally understood and accepted, that the reason nuclear reactors are heavily regulated is because they produce a lot of energy.

Perhaps that's a component, but one really doesn't need to think about it too hard to identify better explanations for why this particular energy source is held to unusually high regulatory standards.

I don't have an opinion as to whether other large-scale sources of energy should be held to similar standards, but to suggest that solar energy's failure modes are comparable to nuclear energy seems intentionally misleading.

> My point is that perfect word prediction does require intelligence and therefore being a word predictor does not, on its own, rule out being intelligent.

Remember, we’re talking about LLMs here, not something that does “perfect word prediction”.

Not to mention, I don’t know what a perfect word predictor is supposed to be… there is an endless series of prompts for which there is no single right next word. It doesn’t seem to be that perfect word prediction could exist unless you redefine some words.

Also, I’m not sure why good word prediction would be a hallmark of intelligence, nor why intelligence would be particularly useful for it. E.g., for “sqrt(n) =“ for any n, I think a large proportion of intelligent people would be unable to answer for almost all values of n, unless they had a calculator (not even counting the people who would not understand the prompt at all). Meanwhile, a very simple and distinctly unintelligent computer program could be great at it, at least for values of n and sqrt(n) its floating point library can represent.

Actually.. I just want to use my device _first_ and not go through some manufacturer controlled song and dance of dark patterns.

In my experience, if you don't pre load the user with this garbage, and then wait for them to have an actual _need_ that depends on the feature, they're FAR more compliant with following even lengthy instructions to get it done.
