> Your claim was it's not greener for everyone.

No, my point was “EVs aren’t all that green either”.

Things are going to improve. But people so often forgot about all the other environmental costs involved with EV.

In an ideal world we’d be using push bikes, but clearly that’s not practical either. However it’s fair to say that this whole transportation debate is a lot more complicated than people like to summarise.

> It is because the additional costs in terms of emissions are paid off in less than 20k miles.

Again, that was never my claim. That’s a strawman argument you’ve constructed.
IDK, 8B-class quantized models run pretty fast on commodity laptops, with CPU-only inference. Thanks to the people who figured out quantization and reimplemented everything in C++, instead of academic-grade Python.
I remember what I liked about Rijks upon visiting was that it was organized by decade, and had not only paintings, but various historical artifacts as well. Like state corporation sealed opium, which offered a context for the contemporary relaxed attitude of the Dutch towards drug consumption. And in general offered many windows into how the country grew up to be what it is. So yes, much history!

I worked in the prepaid phone industry for 4 years so I have some insight on this. This is bad. The whole purpose of phones being locked for 6(now 12 at Mpcs) mo. is so that we are able to offer very decent phones to poor people who would otherwise not be able to afford the up front cost. Were talking about $200-500 phones being given away for completely FREE to new customers sold at a LOSS and we only HOPE to recover that money if they keep their service more than 6 months, for the $500 off iphones closer to 12. Every new prepaid customer who takes advantage of this-we are taking a massive gamble on wether or not this person will legitimately intend to pay their monthly bill, or if theyre just taking advantage of the initial subsidy and then cancelling service and selling the phones overseas or for parts. The industry consides this fraud. Frontline prepaid retailers already have to do some basic KYC on customers like checking IDs(which isnt a hard requirement) to make sure customers arent abusing the promos, because all it takes is a handful of abusers to cause serious economic harm to a particular stores which aleady operate on thin profit margins.
If this change goes through expect prepaid/anonymous phones to go away(KYC and ID checking will kick into overdrive), people in poverty wont be able to get iPhones for $100 upfront anymore, expect hundreds more prepaid phone franchise stores to go out of business and thousands of people to lose their jobs, and for what? What is the benfit of this? So retail arbitragers can buy phones to export overseas at the expense of the American lower class even faster in 2 months rather than 6-12?
So educate me.

ICE aren't niche, and there isn't strong evidence that they will be. There doesn't seem to be a public Come-to-Jesus moment for electric cars on the horizon. There seems to be solid reasoning behind that reluctance. That is, it will be difficult to displace. If phasing out ICE comes down to regulations only, then the antique interface analogy doesn't fit.

>On the other hand of the spectrum, Hyundai Ioniq 5 N can emulate a sports car with an internal combustion engine and 8 speed sequential gearbox.

Sports cars are sometimes for vanity, which is a role that a Hyundai wouldn't fill. But you referenced driving characteristics. Fair enough, and so no need to talk about the vanity attraction of a future all electric Porsche. When not for vanity only, sports cars are for people who like a driving experience. Sports car culture is strongly critical of any deviation from an ideal experience even with better ICE cars. Therefore, it tends to detest "the other end of the spectrum" the most.

Sports cars are integrating electric motors, but mostly as horsepower and torque supplements for ICE. The most well regarded sports cars for the common man err toward being ultra-light weight, relatively low power, and high rpm with a manual gearbox. With the rest being as analog as possible. With incremental deviations from that ideal only as preferred for specific owner comfort. None of that criteria speaks to an appropriate / desired role for an electric motor.

What is the performance hit like? I could see these getting pretty expensive (but correctness is invaluable). Seems like it would be great for something like aws lambda in python where you have already decided performance isn't an utmost priority and scrutability is difficult, so any correctness you can bolt on is a boon.
> How can you tell this is not because they're aware of present market or even your specific company's preference / conditions and are simply trying to increase their appealing to you and increase their chance of getting an offer?

Hybrid is a requirement so it’s more about expectation setting, and most people who say that bring it up themselves when asked what they’re looking for. Maybe they’re all lying, but it’s a pretty low priority thing to lie about and after interviewing hundreds of people, you do get pretty good at parsing out how genuine someone is. Not perfect! But pretty good.

> Yep. That's what family and friends are for. Work is mainly to make money. Until the time comes when work stops being a requirement for survival, that will always be its primary function.

Agree to disagree. If I’m going to spend a third of my life doing a thing, I’m damn sure going to screen for people I respect and want to spend time with. Work means a lot more than the money to me; impact and people are higher up there.

You seem to be talking about something almost completely different than the comment you replied to was.
And marketers play on this status anxiety. Just look at pretty much any car ad. The best way to innoculate yourself against this (to an extent anyway) is to learn a bit about marketing and do some marketing. Once you have seen how the sausage is made, it has less power.

SQLite is developed in a similar way, by the way. Maintainers aren't required to accept community patches. It's not part of the four freedoms or whatever. Realistically, open-source licences only give the user the rights to use the software, redistribute it and fork if needed, but no "voting" rights regarding the upstream copy.

You're talking about open development and governance, which are often associated with open-source, but aren't required.
But my argument has been that _Make_ is already too complex for the given task.

And talking about complex C and C++ (to be fair, the complex ones are almost always C++ ;) projects, I would not say that CMake (or Meson or ...) is less complex than Buck 2, it certainly has _way_ more magic than Buck 2. And getting Make & C++ & ccache(or whatever) & distcc (or whatever) to work _reliably_ isn't easy either ;)
It’s not even remotely close to 2/3rds if you at at all competent at nearshore/offshore hiring. 1/3 at best for top 20% talent.

Once you get into rockstar quality it’s more or less parity since they have all the options anyone in the U.S. has. Most companies are not doing interesting enough work to justify hiring such people.

This is from my personal direct experience over at least dozens if not a hundred directly managed employees over the past decade.

Outsourcing isn’t your fathers offshoring any more if done right. Watching most marginal US tech workers be so short sighted by giving up the only competitive advantage they have left has been interesting to watch.

I agree, it’s also the argument that “nothing will change the big picture anyway” when you don’t go to a business with shady business practices.

Social Penetration Theory
I don't see any misunderstanding there. Maybe you misunderstand the basic meaning of words?

Transparency: If I can see the source code, that is certainly pretty much the definition of transparency.

Collaboration: It is easier to collaborate if I can see the source, don't you think? That doesn't define the legal terms under which this collaboration happens, of course, and you should make sure they suit you before you collaborate.
Your source suggests that providing 95% of Texas energy with wind and solar and batteries will cost the same as providing it with nuclear and batteries.

I'm dubious about many of their assumptions but even your source shows that renewables are the obvious choice to power the world.

It's also interesting that the cost drops 50% if you don't need to cover the last 5%. A shame he didn't go further and calculate at 80% and so on like the recent Australian working paper.

I guess that would show that starting the rollout now would provide lots of savings that could be used to deploy the later percentiles.

Almost without exception the simple trick of turning the "vivid" dial to 11 makes people swear that's the "better" picture.

> Your laptop analogy doesn't really work here; mobile chip implementations are indeed slower but can be measured as a modest percentage drop in performance to their desktop counterparts.

That "modest" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here [0] even at the mid-range and below. Definitely doesn't fly at the higher end, the 200-400W GPUs mentioned above. The physics of powering and cooling such a system just doesn't agree well with the size constraints of a laptop or its power supply.

Back when we had the same conversation about laptops, they were far less adequate than today. Tech evolves faster than our perception and at some point it's good enough. I'm typing this from an 8 year old laptop. Not too long ago a laptop would have been useless at that age.

[0] At the top end the difference seems to be "a modest" 40-50% between the mobile and desktop versions of a GPU. https://jarrods.tech/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/rtx-4080-mob...
It's an interesting choice to make this a whole app, when the zero-downtime deployments can be achieved with other servers trivially these days. For example any app+web proxy which supports Unix sockets can do zero-downtime by moving the file. It's atomic and you can send the warm-up requests with curl. Building a whole system with registration feels like an overkill.

I didn’t say ‘better’ because it’s a value judgement and personal preference. Some people are very anxious about working in person and remote work is the balance they’re looking for.

We work a certain way and make trade-offs as best we can. It doesn’t work for everyone, and that’s okay—non-judgmentally in a completely values-independent way.

In my opinion, startups are really hard if you take them seriously and an in-person aspect helps. There are exceptions, especially if you’re working with people you already know irl (like during COVID) or have worked with a while.

It’s not black and white.

The trivia include information about many things: grammar, vocabulary, slang, entity relationships, metaphor, among others but chiefly they also constitute models of human thought and behaviour. If all you want is a fancy technical encyclopedia then by all means chop away at the training set but if you want something you can talk to then you’ll need to keep the diversity.
> PVC will break into VC

No it will not, stop pushing junk science. Vinyl Chloride is a chlorinated double-bond. PVC is made by opening the double bond to form connected monomer units (i.e. polymers).

PVC doesn't "degrade" back into a higher energy state compound.

Even if you left it you in the sun where UV might re-double bond it, the molecule itself is incredibly reactive - it's environmental lifetime is basically zero under those conditions since it'll oxidize and break down in air in a few days at most, and photochemical reactions are amongst the slowest and most inefficient.

Buried PVC doesn't even have the energy to do that.
Yes, the "D" is for domain.
Maybe some sort of new enrollment/payment system, like the religious practice of giving to your church a % of your income... The same could be done in a UBI society.

Because the amount of UBI in dollars received will change over time, expressing it as a percent will work. Let's call it UBIC or UBI-Cent for 1/100 of your UBI. Maybe a fully pledged 100/100 UBI would be UBID or UBI-Dollar.

Let's say you have a platform for teaching and learning, and students subscribe to their teachers and peers by literally pledging their UBIC to them.

Within this system, students have a means to live and study using their UBI, and teachers the same. Imagine liking the work your friend is doing, so you pledge them 1 UBIC. Or finding a teacher with a good price to match your situation.

I feel like there is room for entirely new systems of teaching/learning in a society where everyone has their minimum financial requirements fulfilled and is not going to starve.
> She may as well have complained about the printing press being problematic.

Technology isn't always fractal, but you seem to be assuming it is. The internet is not just "a really efficient printing press", in the same way that New York is City is not "a little town or village made bigger".
Having no other option besides willingly working in such an extremely toxic environment seems like the bigger issue, though.

Although I’m kind of curious. Presumably those other people you interact with also have jobs? Would you still feel the same way about your coworkers if you worked with them instead?
The whole world owes Germany a massive debt for their overpayment for renewables. Investing in renewables on a massive scale in the 90's is what really kicked off the virtuous cycle that led to the low costs of renewables today.

Germany would have been much better off building nuclear in the 90's. But because they invested in renewables instead, everybody (including Germany) has a much better option of building renewables in the 2020s.
Currently the carrier will publish the phone's IMEI to a central blacklist, so the phone can't be used with any carrier that subscribes to the blacklist.

Only earlier today I'd just used Sync.Cond. The article writes

> In theory, a condition variable like sync.Cond doesn’t have to be tied to a lock for its signaling to work.
> You could have the users manage their own locks outside of the condition variable, which might sound like it gives more flexibility. It’s not really a technical limitation but more about human error.

I don't think this is true, if the concurrency model for goroutines may be assumed to be the same as regular OS threads. Assume the following:

1. You lock a shared resource (to be progressed by a worker goroutine)

2. You spawn the worker goroutine

3. You unlock the shared resource

4. It just so happens that the go runtime schedules the worker on a separate CPU, the worker now then progresses the resource to completion, and cond.Broadcast()'s

5. You now cond.Wait'() on a signal that will never arrive. (This cannot actually happen because Golang's cond.Wait() requires the lock to have been acquired before being called, and also locks before relinquishing control, so we're discussing the post author's version)

This was also the issue I noticed when I was considering using channels for signaling. The use case was:

1. I needed a worker goroutine that progressed a certain resource

2. I needed to fail anyway if the worker did not progress to completion at least within a timeout.

3. I needed to eagerly return asap if the worker progressed to completion before the timeout is done.

I initially considered spawning the worker goroutine and a timeout goroutine and doing a select on channels. But it turned out to be far easier done with a condition variable, especially if we needed to make sure that nothing eventually ends up blocking on sending to a channel that will never be listened to.

I think your notion of "the truth" is heavily influenced by exactly the context she's pointing at. Google and Meta's algorithmic rankings aren't "the truth", and "the truth" doesn't change on each regular parameter rebalancing. Those algorithms were built by a relatively small number of people from a narrow set of backgrounds who were focused on maximizing usage and revenue, and the bulk of "the truth" they contain is about that.

One thing importantly different about our age is context collapse. With communication costs and marginal costs near zero, a global service is easier and cheaper to build than local ones with equivalent coverage. It's as if we've taken every ecosystem in the world and dumped it onto the San Francisco peninsula to fight it out to discover "the truth" about what plants and animals are "best".

What's different about those small locales and villages is that each one of them naturally had its own values. Skills and tastes co-evolved. Schools of thought were born and elaborated. Communication and movement between locales gave useful exchange and inspiration, but generally weren't enough to swamp variation.

In the pre-web era, the question of, say, whether Irish music was better than Spanish music would be seen as kind of a dumb question to take any more seriously than for an entertaining argument. But having put everything in Meta's global blender and reduced it to counting updoots, the ever-present metrics purport to provide "the truth" to questions like that.

They don't, of course. But they do place a much larger burden on us to recognize that not everything that goes up and to the right is an unalloyed good.
So in a hypothetical world were the paranoid reign supreme and all software ia safe and unuseable cause usage is not a protection goal, do they declare a revolution in the name of useability and economic speed to overthrow the evil protectors?
