Anything that makes things more pleasant for LLMs is to be opposed. Their devs don't care about your opinion, they'll vacuum up whatever they want and use it for any purpose and you degrade yourself if you think the makers of these LLMs can be reasoned with. They are flooding the internet with crap, ruining basically every art site in the process, and destroying any avenues of human connection they can.

I'm not sure how many countries in Europe count like that, the online information is totally unreliable. For example:

That map is absolutely incorrect for a bunch of countries, e.g. the Nordic ones.
Rust adds a lot of complexity (a new language) and does not even offer a general approach to automated correctness verification (not saying that C++ is better in this regard). Maybe it is just better to wait for Rust++.

Also we appear to be unable to build new houses at anywhere the rate needed to meet demand, so it's unsurprising that old houses are retained and that people are willing to live in houses with suboptimal energey efficiency...
No, the thing about RDMA is that it significantly lowers latency and allows for copying of data without involving the cpu. If you use RoCE, you need advanced network switches that support PFC, ECN, DCBX that allows for lossless ethernet with the ability to pause frames to see any benefit. While lossy RoCE do work on newer generation of network interfaces, it comes with quirks and may not be any faster than TCP.
> Horizon Europe

For people who are unaware, Horizon Europe is a research initiative that spans a wide range of interests, from nuclear energy to basically anything else, with the fine restriction that all research has to be open and public.

I'm not sure what the "dunk" is supposed to mean here, are you saying funding research like this is a waste of taxpayers money?
I'll pitch in. Standardize on a strict set of allowed mixtures of plastics (and possibly even colors!). Not just "PP", "ABS" and so on, but exact formulas.

Also, keep the set of allowed formules small.

This will serve two purposes, first, allow plastics to be actually recycled to a greater extent. Now, plastics are very much "mystery" items.

Second, it will reduce the amount of harmful and toxic additives in plastics.

Somehow we also need to stop producing so much junk, electronics which is not durable, packing material within packing material and so on. The externalised costs of so many things are huge, we need to somehow de-externalise the costs.

Why, nothing happened. Let nature run it course. After the tide the water will flow back, and the 32 cm rise is nothing to worry about (after 4 hours, imagine the 24/7 guy observing the 1 mm high wave).

It would make more sense when water levels are already high. But then there are indeed people assigned to keep an eye on the crucial infrastructures .

Firefox is around 8% of market share in the US on non-mobile devices -- up from around 4.5% this time last year. It's downright wrong to see 80% increase in users over 12 months as 'dying' -- and in general 1 in 12 users is significant enough that you should be caring about it.
I suppose their main job will be making sure the diffusion models continue to produce sufficiently diverse renderings of SS squadrons ala Google.

I agree this is not trivial, but yubikeys are (at least sometimes) used in context with very high stakes.

This includes access to "crypto" assets, but also more serious situations such as defense contractors.

These are scenarios where you have well-resourced, highly motivated attackers, and this is precisely what the yubikey is supposed to defend against.

Our own subconscious mind is just artifacts of our waking life pieced together. ChatGPT has been trained on all Psychological papers pertaining to dreams and dream analysis. So yes it is simply regurgitating, but from the most authoritative sources on the subject. Considering that millions of people have read Psychologists like Jung and benefited from their insights, I think it is fair to say that there is at least something to this field of research. If his insights were totally off base, then people wouldn’t pay attention. Albeit, not everyone is a dreamer, so it is not for everyone.
It still means mandatory, potentially grueling, on-call rotations.
The French buildout was very definitely a reaction to the oil crisis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_the_United_Ki... describes a similar process of thinking in the UK, which was abandoned in favor of privatizing the industry, and the PWRs were never built apart from Sizewell B.

I suspect the arrival of North Sea oil and gas eased the energy concerns in the 1980s.

> Instead we have the Chinese taking 30 years to build our new reactor.

It's still owned by the same company that operates all the French nuclear reactors, EDF, and I suspect that most of the people doing the actual work on site are British. China can certainly build new reactors in China. I wonder if it's same the general disease of Western project management which causes high speed rail to get more and more expensive and less feasible.
Decision paralysis is just a lame excuse people use to mask their real reason for not doing something. If you don't know enough about the choices to know which one you prefer, then either you simply chose any of them and subsequently have a more informed preference next time, or you chose none of them because you don't actually want the thing in the first place.

I want ice cream and approach a vendor in the park. He has brands and flavors I've never tried before so I throw up my hands and say there is too much choice, he needs to pick one single kind of ice cream before he gets my business. Somebody who behaves like this doesn't actually want ice cream in the first place but is pretending to for some reason.
> I strongly suspect we literally can’t begin to imagine what’s really going on.

I also happen to believe that might be true. In the same way a dog will never understand single variable calculus, there probably are concepts that are out of reach for us.

This is the same Google that wrote the libgav1 decoder instead of using dav1d, they don't have a strong history of starting from code that was invented elsewhere.

(In the case of AV1 I think they eventually gave up and started offering dav1d on Android, but not before shipping their in-house implementation that was much less efficient and no safer than state of the art, perplexing everyone in the process.)

For one thing, I believe jxl-oxide is not yet performant enough to replace libjxl's decoder (not necessarily because of a difference between C++ and Rust, however).

I listen to a few podcasts on clean energy. Two of them are by Brits (Michael Liebreich's Cleaning up and Robert LLewellyn's Fully Charged podcast). So, the UK's energy market gets discussed a lot.

It's pretty interesting. Like many energy markets, the key challenges are actually legislation and policy related. The new government just removed a ban on new on-shore wind turbines. Which given that they are so cheap now is a sensible thing to do. The ban was madness to begin with of course. Offshore wind is of course also huge. And the UK has a lot of former offshore oil industry that is now adapting to doing offshore wind (a lot of overlap in tools and skills).

And while they are shutting down coal, they still have a huge former coal plant that is now burning biomass in London. That's a single plant that powers most of London.

Basically the way that works is that the Canadians and the British both subsidize this "green" and not so renewable power. The Canadians basically chop down what little proper ancient forests they still have on the west coast, which from an ecological point of view is criminally insane. The wood then gets shipped half way across the planet to the UK where it is burned. Shipping it of course involves burning a large amounts of nasty bunker fuel. There's nothing cheap, sustainable, clean, renewable, or green about this business. It's only economical because of the subsidies. And those subsidies exist because of fossil fuel industry lobbying and very willing politicians. That would be the same jerks that banned on shore wind in the UK.

Another key policy challenge in the UK is that energy prices are the same throughout the UK. Most of the cheap wind power is up north. Much of the demand is in the south. So they are firing up gas plants in the south at the same time they actually have a surplus in Scotland. And then prices in Scotland are high because the gas they use in the south is expensive. Even when they have more wind power than they can use and they rarely have a need for any gas power in Scotland. They are a net energy exporter most days of the year. And they are connected to the Norwegian grid which enables them to import hydro power from there.

Part of the solution is cables but installing those is expensive and challenging because it involves a lot of haggling with local councils and planning commissions. But the real solution is actually changing how this market works. This kind of change is much more challenging. Why move the power south when you can move the demand north? Variable pricing would cause that to happen.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Albright

> Alan D Albright[1][a] (born November 24, 1959)[2] is a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. He was formerly a United States magistrate judge of the same court. Albright oversees a significant portion of patent litigation within the United States. In 2021, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit repeatedly rebuked him in a string of opinions for failing to transfer cases to more apt jurisdictions. A quarter of all patent lawsuits in the US were once heard by Albright, who has been widely criticized for ignoring binding case law. However, following a docket-stripping order issued by Chief Judge Orlando Garcia, Albright's patent docket has declined precipitously
It will be fairly challenging to rewrite libjxl or any other independent JPEG XL decoder into wuffs, due to its inherent (and for now necessary) limitations. Even its PNG decoder is not very traditional, and JPEG XL has way more bookkeeping in its format.

Not to mention that Anycast and TCP can have some fun edge cases for users with chaotic routing and you also need to figure out how to do sticky L4 sessions / forwarding, which can be hell to debug.

1) In part because most cities of any size are run by democrats.

2) “over 100,000 population”. This is the factor that prevents these from mostly being “red”. I assume this is because smaller cities and large towns are both more likely than large cities to be run by Republicans, and also more likely to have bad economies, which (the latter) is a pretty good predictor of crime.

3) The second graph with per-capita gets us closer to correct, the first being “this is just a population heat map” levels of useless. Note all the “blue” cities in red states in the second one. I’ve lived in such a city. It was hopelessly hobbled by the state government—anything “blue” it tried to do was outlawed at the state level as soon as they tried to do it. You can’t really treat those as experiments in Democratic governance.

Same. The biggest issue with non-competes is the intimidation factor. People are scared to challenge them even though without proper compensation and scope they are basically worthless. Few if any judges will prevent someone from making a living.

I also think they are mostly fine in the cases where they are properly constructed (compensation and scope).

It seems you are using the term career bureaucrat as a pejorative. Often, they have far more expertise in the subject than career politicians.

In any event, large decisions like this are made by political appointees appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate.

With Chevron overturned, we are now allowing unelected career judges interpreting policy however they see fit. If we were still in a world where precedent mattered and judges set their personal beliefs about policy aside and instead neutrally interpreted conformance with the law, sure. But as we now are packing the judiciary with partisans, it seems we've just substitutef one bad for another.

I wish the original article offered code, similarly to yours.
I wish you could elaborate more in the Octave section though.
The TDP (thermal design power) is the maximum power consumption in steady-state conditions, when all the CPU cores and/or the GPU are 100% busy and the power consumption is limited to avoid overheating. It is used to dimension the cooling system, together with the maximum working temperature of the CPU.

The TDP has nothing to do with the battery lifetime in normal usage. Any smartphone or laptop will drain completely its battery in a couple of hours at most when running at the power limit (you will never see a laptop configured for an 8 W TDP also having a 99 Wh battery; such batteries are normally used for laptops where the CPU is configured for a 45 W TDP).

For the battery lifetime what matters most is the power consumption when the CPU is idle (which should be a fraction of a watt, so that the total idle power consumption is dominated by the display power consumption) and also how big is the additional power consumption caused by light CPU loads, like Internet browsing, movie watching, document reading and editing etc.

Neal's particular strength is in a detailed world-building. Dick created wild worlds, but they are not particularly fleshed out, kinda dream-like in their vagueness, therefore for me not "convincing" in the same way as Neal's worlds are.

With Banks, the worlds (Culture being a major one) are more fleshed out, but somehow to me not as interesting. I've read several of his books, but somehow didn't enjoy the Culture ones a lot (read Player of Games, Use of Weapons and Excession). I did like the A Song of Stone a lot, but that's not even sci-fi. I'm aware my opinion is quite unpopular regarding Banks.
