Sounds like carbon emission rights which are freely traded from companies that just get them without using them; iirc Tesla earned a lot of money selling their emission rights.

I mean on paper it's a good idea, but there's not enough restrictions. Emission rights, for example, should be bought (from the government) in the first place, at an exponential price (so the more you need the more you pay). Supply should be reduced every year, with a goal being zero. They should not be tradeable across country (or in the case of the US, state) borders. Same with these renewable energy certificates mentioned, the further away the source, the higher the price should be.

But that's all bookkeeping shenanigans; it doesn't mean that e.g. data centers or industry will reduce their energy usage. That's what's broken about the push for renewable energy; it isn't a replacement of existing power production, it's on top of, and any added capacity is bought up and used.
This is so cool haha
Reminds me off all the "テイクアウトもOK" (Take out is also possible) mentions that flourished on restaurants in Japan during covid. There was already a Japanese equivalent that existed (お持ち帰り) but I guess that was less fashionable.

In a multi-tenant system, you might have one customer who drops a big job that creates a huge number of tasks. We'd like to process this as fast as possible, but not block the tasks of small jobs from other customers, which should normally be completed very quickly.

I see it differently. I don't think YouTube fundamentally changes people; it might serve up low-quality content to those seeking it, but they'd likely find it elsewhere if not on YouTube.

On the positive side, YouTube has brought the world closer. We can access videos from nearly every corner of the globe, giving us insight into how others live and interact in their environments. Additionally, it's become an incredible resource for information. If something breaks in my home, I can probably find a video explaining how to fix that exact model. While I'm not old enough to have "adulted" without YouTube, it’s amazing how much you can learn from it.

I used the same approach when programming my fridge. If the compressor was required because the temperature in the topmost shelf was too high, the tones would play in rising order. If it was due to the bottom shelf, then the tones would play in descending order.

I ended up disabling the feature because it was always the bottom shelf.

yeah, i agree that that's a very productive mode. if i'm wrong about something, i'd much rather be corrected because i said what i thought instead of remaining wrong because i kept my mouth shut. it's embarrassing but worthwhile to realize how wrong i was

a big part of the problem is the nature of the youtube medium, which is effectively a 10-minute monologue desperately begging for mass attention. if it turns out something you said was wrong, you can't go back later and add a correction in the middle of the video. the best you can do is add a pinned comment or delete the erroneous video. people correcting you in the comments will only ever be seen by a tiny fraction of viewers. previously there was an option to add a "card" that overlaid the video at a given timepoint with text, but youtube removed that some years ago
Not being able to distinguish between 0 value and a missing value.

It is just a huge regression in a data format. How could it happen?

Imagine building a data format for temperature measuring stations around that. Is it 0 degrees, or did the thermometer just skip reporting?

Interesting article and I have observed all of the situation described in it.

I would like to point out that when agile, and even Scrum to some degree, was introduced it was a way for people creating software to take back control of a runaway process that prevented team from doing their best work. It was a grassroots movement championed by people invested in finding better ways to create software that were less stressful and more successful.

Most of the issues in the article were coopted in Scrum to take control of software creating back from the teams. Whatever replaces Scrum, and agile, will need to learn from the mistakes and compromises of Scrum or it will suffer the same fate as Scrum and become a tool to force teams into a delivery model that gives managers and executives more control while reducing their accountability.
Those are problematic business goals, right? I think that's very different to aligning team goals to company goals.
> Expecting "realism" and coherency from a fantasy world destroys the fantasy.

That certainly isn’t the case for The Lord of the Rings and the rest of Tolkien’s development of his world.
My counter argument to this would be that it is as expensive to compare LE k[4]s with each other as it is BE k[0]s.

As long as you deal with fixed length chunks of data accessing it from either end should be equal effort (in first approximation[1]).

This is qualitatively different from the odd/even case, because for a number of unknown length you can tell odd/even in O(1) for LE but need O(n) only for BE (you have to find the LSB in n steps).

Mathematically there is more information you get from just having the LSBs than just having the MSBs without knowing the whole number and its length. I think this the only reason, why LE is marginally better, everything else boils down to convention.

[1] I know that on modern architectures it can be faster to read memory upwards than downwards, because of the pre-fetcher, but this is what I meant with the advantage is because of convention. If we had a symmetric pre-fetcher the point would be moot.
Why would it be resolved by Microsofts Push to ARM if it's caused by Microsofts desire to spy on the user?

Also, the issue generally goes away as long as you detach the power connection before you're closing the lid, because the issue isn't actually caused by Microsoft.

They do want to spy on the users though, this just isn't an issue related to that.
We also don't type in the ledger files directly, but rather than convert it from a free format note we use the comment field of the banking apps, and the comment field of the expense report app (we use Zoho), to indicate what account it should apply to.

Once a quarter I download CSV files from our bank account, credit card and Zoho app, and we have a set of ruby scripts that parse the CSV files into ledger files. They infer the correct accounts from the comment fields. Of course, the script and the ledger output tends to need a few tweaks, but it's >95% automated that way.

As a bonus the scripts also add a few sanity checks to the ledger file, e.g. ensure the balance matches what is downloaded from the bank and entries fall within the current period.
The perceived problem people keep mentioning is waste, but the problem there is that people don't want it in their backyards, like, anywhere. But, yeet it into a mountain cave, encased in lead and concrete, and forget about it. This is what's happening in Finland I believe.

I would use this for edits that are hard to do otherwise. Like, instead of typing `M-x align-regexp` and then figuring out what regular expression to type, I would just highlight a passage and say to the LLM "Can you align all the library names in this import statement?"

This is how I feel about a lot of books, such as The Lean Startup. Technically, there's a new topic with every chapter, but after the first 100 pages or so I feel like I get the gist, and I'm not really learning much new.
> "adaptive diagnostic assessment..." but this didn't work very well for me.

I found it a bit controversial too, but it makes sense if you consider the goals of MA / creator's approach. MA aims for "you're going to learn to mastery, passing 100% or you don't know the subject yet". Which works great if that's what you're after, and less well if you want to just get to know the landscape and be more comfortable appling a few things every few months. (One of the reasons I dropped out was when it made me do way too many vector/matrix multiplications that felt like busy work I'm never going to do manually, but it would make sense at uni time) You can trigger the diagnostic again btw if you think something's seriously off.
I'm really happy about it but I'm not sure how game changing it would be for a blind person. It seems to require seeing what's on the page.
That’s a bit naive. I’m willing to bet that most of them have interesting details, with each one doing things in their own unique way.
The issue is-- there are lots of way to write down a statement.

One common example is if you're going to internalize or externalize a property of a data structure: eg. represent it with a dependent type, or a property about a non-dependent type. This comes with design tradeoffs: some lemmas might expect internalized representations only, some rewrites might only be usable (eg. no horrifying dependent type errors) with externalized representations. For math in particular, which involves rich hierarchies of data structures, your choice about internalization might can impacts about what structures from your mathematical library you can use, or the level of fragile type coercion magic that needs to happen behind the scenes.
While true, the problem is that these data centers buy up the capacity of newly built clean energy systems (like windmills), instead of the renewables replacing non-renewable energy sources. The objective should not just be to add renewable energy to the grid, but to reduce consumption so non-renewables can be replaced.
I would like to believe that's true, but honestly, I know some really hard workers who are gluttons for abuse.
This is a very simplified view of the world. You realize humans aren't rational automatons right? Everything you mockingly posted is a real factor in real humans lives regardless of how "dumb" you think it is. When designing policies for society/everyone you have to meet people where they are. Your strategy of claiming everything is personal responsibility has provably not worked so maybe propose a different idea instead of just mocking the things that actually have worked
Nope, Apple's system was based on a list of KNOWN CSAM hashes, not some AI algorithm.

Also it mathematically required multiple local hits before anything would've been sent to Apple.

And even at that point an actual human would've checked the image(s) (reduced quality versions) before any action is taken.

So even if you would've managed to trigger the system multiple times on someone's phone with hash collisions that actually are pictures of kittens, the most you've done is slightly inconvenience a low-paid image checker in a cheap call center.

I can't immediately recall any sci-fi elements from The Archers myself, so that checks out. Anything to do with the lost precursor civilization tends more towards the archaic future-tech. Like in City Of The Lost God there's a magical weapon that's basically an operational laser gun. Or The Island of the Frozen Seas, which has a palace that looks like a downed spaceship complete with sarcophagi/crypods with people in them.

And you're welcome! I hope you and your son have fun! :)
Do you have any weird corporate management software running on it? That can do all sorts of nonsense, unfortunately.

If not, turn off "Power Nap" (https://support.apple.com/en-ie/guide/mac-help/mh40774/mac - the option is, annoyingly, kinda hidden.)
I grew up reading Tolkein and then playing D&D. It seemed to me along with everyone in our playing sphere that D&D was set in Middle Earth, not Medival Times. It wasn't long after the original release when the Gods & Demigods manual was released to help clerics have someone specifically to worship. I never ever thought this game was in any way trying to model reality. Then, of course, you have the various astral and god planes of existence. The only "setting" that makes sense to me for D&D is bringing Middle Earth and myths into a game setting.
Those still seem like examples of “whatever the company is trying to achieve”, be it profitability, domination, cost minimisation etc.
“I notice that you use plain, simple language, short words and brief sentences. That is the way to write English―it is the modern way and the best way. Stick to it; don't let fluff and flowers and verbosity creep in. When you catch an adjective, kill it. No, I don't mean utterly, but kill most of them―then the rest will be valuable. They weaken when they are close together. They give strength when they are wide apart. An adjective habit, or a wordy, diffuse, flowery habit, once fastened upon a person, is as hard to get rid of as any other vice.” -- Mark Twain
You likely want to turn off Power Nap, in addition to wake on network access.

Yeah, well the time? Plenty of sites dedicated to that. You get feedback on your writing quickly, although if it's serialized there's some drawbacks for pacing.
regardless of "process", work items should be tracked (in the problem solving record for our future selves sense, not time keeping sense), so you can follow those. If you're a non-technical manager, then either a) the implementation goes super smoothly and the estimate the dev team initially gave you is all the progress update you need, or b) it doesn't go super-smoothly and you should be involved in any discussions that arise. If you find yourself asking "when is it ready?" you've likely gone astray.
> "Value working software over comprehensive documentation", says the Agile consultant as they open the sprint planning. "These tickets should contain enough detail that a new hire coming to them cold can pick up the work."

A ticket that tells you what needs to be done / reviewed / tested is indeed in the pursuit of working software. Having detailed class diagrams drawn 18 months ago that you have to follow is what this point is talking about.
This article is devoid of useful information. Rather than discussing this vulnerability, it spends 90% of its time talking about why supply chain attacks are bad. In addition, the NIST page has nearly zero information and the links are similarly unhelpful:

* The GitLab issue 404s

* The hackerone link is behind a login.

* The third link describes how to leverage a class of vulnerabilities, but isn't specific to what this one is. (It's a broad CWE about spoofing.)

Does anyone have a link that actually talks about what this vulnerability is? Even GitLab's patch notes [0] are useless.

What the algorithm seems to favour is a better indicator of what people use Youtube for overall.

I'm also using youtube almost exclusively as a means of education, but a net positive for us doesn't really mean much. If for one more educated viewer you get ten more radicalised and dumber ones, we may be better off without it.

A lot of modern book publishing has turned into a bit of a bait and switch grift. You take 2 post-it notes worth of ideas and pad them out to 300 pages with tangentially related anecdotes, because on average people buy books online based on the title and the page count alone, and put them on a shelf for several years before they read them, meaning they can't return them by the time they find out.

Can you talk more about the muscle loss? I've read that, but is it any different from the loss of strength when dieting "naturally"? Like, I've lost significant amounts of weight before and my bench press/etc. all went down just due to loss of body mass. Are you saying it's somehow worse than that in terms of muscle loss?

>The best you can do is human scale things like "how likely is it that Joe is a fed?", which can't be automated.

I agree with that but is there a site which analyses efficiency of the mining nodes from the economic point of view e.g. how fast the nodes confirms transactions, how much fee does it charge/take on average etc. etc. The good old statistics which are sexy to see and observe over time.

I think this is exactly the point that MrBeast is trying to make.

By being best YOUTUBE videos it means to focus on whatever appeals to the algorithm. It doesn't mean you are better informed, or better entertained, as long as the click-through-rate is great and the minutes people watch the video is maximized.

You could say the same thing is true for Xerox, for them the best doesn't necessary mean that they sell you the best most reliable copier, but the highest grossing product, with a guaranteed post-sale income.

And this is why we can't have nice things.
I think differently. The market works, and more windmills will be built as the price is good and builders know there is demand in the market.

Demand will fall in the countries with dirty electricity.

ledger can validate that all account names are pre-defined, are formatted in a specific way with regard to decimal and thousands separator, their currency specified and a few more things. (None of these are enforced by default, but for any serious use of ledger you would want to set `--strict` in your .ledgerrc file)

What else would you want ledger to enforce? We actually have a few very specific (to us) rules we enforce, but we do that via a ruby script. That's the power of plain text accounting: you can just whip up a small script to do validation for you.
Yeah, that was quite a non-sequitur :)
The article concerns how to interpret OD&D.

It points out "the dungeon builders were part of a coinage economy just like the current one. There hasn’t even been significant inflation or deflation since the dungeons were built.", which doesn't seem compatible with a far-future post-post industrial setting interpretation.

I think "fantastic American history" is a rational description.
So far it seems to be a disadvantage as DeepMind has fallen behind OpenAI, despite their size, and to some extent even behind Anthropic.
Exactly, "here we are" meaning we're in a place where we can admit that the "discipline" approach has completely failed and we need another idea?
But that's the failure mode of anything. Why is Agile uniquely (and very consistently) blamed for management failures?
