To be very pedantic, the pound is a unit of both force and mass, and it's because the unit evolved before the Newtonian understanding of weight versus mass. That's why there exists the pound-mass, and the pound-force.

Of course, in SI this is very straightforward: the unit of mass is the kilogram and the unit of force is the newton, which is the force acting on a mass of one kilogram experiencing an acceleration of one metre per second per second in an inertial frame of reference.
DNS should be a destination, not a utility. Every John Smith has a legitimate claim on smith.com.

DNS should offer disambiguation services. Instead, we have this awful system.

My dream is to fork a browser and replace the DNS component with an entirely new protocol that respects the notion that people in the real world share names.

> Intel GFX held back the industry 10 years. If people thought Windows Vista sucked it was because Intel "supported" it by releasing integrated GPUs which could almost handle Windows Vista but not quite.

not sure about it. i had friends with discrete GPUs at the time and they told me that vista was essentially a gpu-stress program rather than an OS.

at the same time, compiz/beryl on linux worked beautifully on intel integrated gpus, and were doing way cooler things than vista was doing at the time (cube desktops? windows bursting into flames when closed?).

I'm a bit sad that compiz/beryl is not as popular anymore (with all the crazy things it could do).

It's hilarious to see people desperately put the blame on the connectivity platform when deep down they themselves know, it's the users. Just as always, the platform itself is indifferent; it is the people spewing poison.
It’s worse than just the licensing. They’re exposed as PCI devices, so they don’t automatically show up in VMs, they don’t access user memory in a particularly pleasant manner, they aren’t automatically usable in unprivileged programs, etc.

And this destroys 99% (maybe 99.99%) of the actual economic value for Intel! What Intel needs is for people to integrate these accelerators into software the way that AVX is integrated into software. Then software and libraries can advertise things like “decompression is 7x faster on Intel CPUs that support such-and-such”, and then customers will ask for Intel CPUs. And customers will ask their providers to please make sure they support such-and-such feature, etc.

But instead we have utterly inscrutable feature matrices, weird licensing conditions, and a near-complete lack of these features on development machines, and it’s no wonder that no one uses the features.
They expressly state the result is likely because the AI poetry was more simple and direct than the poetry selected, which is more accessible for the average person not interested in poetry. They compare and contrast this with other studies where this was not the case.

Yes, it's comparing apples and oranges; that's the whole point. It doesn't make the experiment itself flawed.

When Intuition Is Wrong: Majoritarian Attacks Are Solvable [video]
Please review the last link I provided (Control-F "CAISO is putting more solar on the grid without increasing relative curtailment", graphic below that header).

Storage is what is alleviating pressure causing excess curtailment. Excess curtailment is a function of battery deployment rate (transmission too). Only recently has battery storage scaled to catch up to existing solar deployments and the deployment trajectory.

> CAISO’s recent relative curtailment downtick could be due to several factors besides batteries, such as weather conditions and new transmission lines. Still, grid storage battery deployment has undeniably been an important element. CAISO’s addition of over 2.4 GW of battery storage capacity from June 2023 through the end of the year coincided with a sharp reduction in curtailment.

> CAISO is set to continue deploying even more batteries in 2024. The US Energy Information Administration’s latest estimates suggest it will install nearly 5 GW of incremental battery storage capacity in 2024, along with 3.5 GW of new solar photovoltaic capacity. While not every project in queue will ultimately move forward, CAISO’s absolute increase in battery capacity and its relative rise as a percentage of solar capacity will mitigate curtailment.

> More encouragingly, it’s early innings in the rise of batteries. While lithium-ion battery technologies are most prevalent on the grid today, other advances are possible. Most deployed batteries today, such as lithium-ion batteries, have storage of around four hours or less. New technologies, such as iron air batteries, could provide multiday storage solutions. As the quantity and quality of battery deployments improve, the grid will become more resilient and, all else being equal, solar generation’s share of the electricity grid will continue to grow.
> "Sure just wrap everything in "Unsafe"... So what is the point?"

https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch19-01-unsafe-rust.html : "You can take five actions in unsafe Rust that you can’t in safe Rust .. it’s important to understand that unsafe doesn’t turn off the borrow checker or disable any other of Rust’s safety checks: if you use a reference in unsafe code, it will still be checked .. by requiring these five unsafe operations to be inside blocks annotated with unsafe you’ll know that any errors related to memory safety must be within an unsafe block. Keep unsafe blocks small; you’ll be thankful later when you investigate memory bugs."
Is not the answer here the same? Build the trust in the AI systems. Benchmarks help and are a start. Consistent results over time are another measure. We'll learn over the next few years which models, or which companies developing model can be trusted for certain sets of tasks. If these exceed alternatives, and have consistency over a margin I can reason about, I'll make use of them, same as any other tool.

Two copies have sold on ebay over the past month, with each listed at $1000 despite being later prints and having slight damage. That price seems absolutely bonkers to me.

The copy in the scan has a 2014 date, suggesting they were still giving the book to new hires in 2014 or maybe 2015. (I was hired in mid 2013 and my copy has a 2012 date.)

So based on company headcount those years and accounting for turnover, I would guess the total print run was at least 10,000... there are definitely copies of it around.
With the appropriate license, there is no particular reason Apple's team couldn't have built a good x86 processor. Switching to ARM was a matter of necessity, not due to a superior architecture.

Architecture largely doesn't matter these days, just how you implement it and what fabrication you build it with.

That's an improvement. Adding $2 to $5 to the cost of a squatted domain will start to dissuade people who squat on tens of thousands of domains, if they have to suddenly have to pay $20,000 to $50,000 for the not squatting service.

Interesting point. I had a similar thought about singing.

In theory, a good enough singer would be able to use their vocal chords as a reference. Unless their vocal range is changing on a regular basis, if they remember the highest piched note they can sing, they could refer to that as an anchor.
I'm not trying to defend DNSimple and their decision to not keep the legacy plan around for existing customers.

Most of my coworkers above age 45 still use Perl.

I am constantly parsing reports and then generating commands to run from that. I learned Perl in the 90's and it still works great for that.

I have to code in Tcl for most of our EDA tools (chip design) but I still parse reports in Perl. The younger engineers use Python and I've learned enough but I really don't care. I'm not writing big systems or anything in Perl or Python. It's the Tcl code that has tens of thousands of lines because that is what the tools require.

One of Don DeLillo's later good novels is about this stuff (Zero K).

I always think people's attitude toward possible future worlds is interesting. You can see a wide spread of opinion in this thread -- whether you think functional immortality would be a good thing says a lot about who you are. Ditto for colonizing other planets, automating all work, building AGI, and so on.

I suppose I'm on the side of the technologists. I think immortality is probably possible and humans should try to achieve it. But along the way it will mostly be snake oil and cults. And, of course, it's all but guaranteed that everyone in this thread isn't going to make the cut-off.
It's a bit like fighting against the ocean imho, it doesn't matter how much you put into it you'll always lose eventually.

It's much simpler to accept and live within your constraints than to waste your life and mental energy wishing you could be/do something you will never be/do.

If you think about it most of the things we "fix" are extremely wonky, even something such as a bone fracture isn't guaranteed to heal 100%, most medicine have massive side effects, organ transplants have something like 50% survival at 15 years on average, &c. We think we're getting more and more control on things but most of it is a hack job temporarily delaying the inevitable

Additionally, before the explosion of digital camera sales in the early 00s, many childhood memories simply went unrecorded.

Growing up my family had a couple film cameras that rarely got used. They might come out for holidays and a handful of events but they spent a lot of time in the closet.

Even when they were used a roll of film only got two dozen photos that weren't cheap to develop. We'd get maybe one or two photos per roll that had decent focus and lighting.

There's a Cambrian explosion of photos I have from my first digital camera onwards. There's so many events and several people I'd love to have pictures of today that don't exist because no camera was handy at the time. Today I can capture pretty much anything I want to remember.

This story is such a cool example of how rewilding can really work. Turning the land from intensive farming into a more natural space gave the storks exactly what they needed to thrive—and it’s amazing to see them breeding there for the first time in centuries!

It makes me wonder what other places could do if they rethought how land is used. Projects like this don’t just help wildlife but also bring life and energy back to these areas. Plus, it’s such a great blend of preserving history and building something new for the future. Would love to see more efforts like this popping up around the world.

Assad had majority approval prior to the war [1] (can't find any more recent adversarial polls, which may be telling) and his family has been in power for decades. The comparison is inappropriate.

It's more akin to saying that states adversarial to the US won after the CIA overthrew a popular secular democracy in Iran, and installed a extremely unpopular puppet monarchy that was obseqious to the US.

In general maintaining power without relatively widespread support is quite difficult - probably even more so in the digital era which makes conspiracies so much easier to organise.
