Why do I need a colocation service to put a used 1U server from eBay in my house? I'd just plug it in, much like any other PC tower you might run at home.

> Unless you're really wealthy, you have your own home with sufficient power[1] delivery and cooling.

> not sure where you live, but here most residential power connections are below 3 KWh.

It's a single used 1U server, not a datacenter... It will plug into your domestic powersupply just fine. The total draw will likely be similar or even less than many gaming PC builds out there, and even then only when under peak loads etc.

I missed that one. For me it is the Nemesis System from Shadow of Mordor/War. They made 2 games and haven't done anything with it since but they still patented it.
>The difference here is that it's not deposit to encourage recycling, it's just a tax,

It's a tax to encourage the alternatives. If an electric car costs more than an ICE car, then taxing ICE cars through a carbon tax will make the electric car more attractive, at least on the margins.

> It's costing everybody more and people are being paid twice. I'm thinking especially of the companies trying to sequester carbon in the wells they empty - they end up making money both ways.

Similar logic to the above applies. Oil companies might be able to charge more for a barrel of oil, but it's not like that barrel of oil is suddenly more useful. That's bad for oil companies because it makes the economics of their product worse. They have to do more "stuff" to sell a given barrel of oil, but their competitors (solar panels or whatever) don't.
You mean to say that to make a new industry people will have to build something new?

Or are you saying that the size of "all industries" will need to increase? Because... where do you think the carbon has come from?
You can start with HTML by using Notepad and a browser.
If there is a big carbon footprint for developing technology that erases carbon footprints, that's a problem that solves itself.
Correct. I'm referring to the mindset where "tailwind" (or whatever) is just "what you do" irrespective if it is even appropriate or not for the given solution. Same mindset as the architecture approach.
Which, again, is still a different argument than the one you originally made.

Woke (modern, post 2010-version) looks like a psyops campaign, designed to destroy the social cohesion of western societies.

Looking at what has happened since 2010 and how the vibe has changed, it seems to have been extremely successful.

It started soon after Russia's demands around European security were denied, and it initially spread from the places where Russia historically had most support: universities.
Whoops, sorry! Public now
I feel like probably not much has changed. People, who will listen and think a little for themselves, will already be able to come to the conclusion, that it is better not to put the CO2 out in the first place. And those who are typically pretending to only not believe it because one cannot provide a research article, are very likely to just try to discredit the research. Some people are just so lost, that you cannot change their mind with facts, whatever those facts are, and whatever you do. They do not want to. They want you to spend more time and effort on them than is proportionate.

While these standards date from around 1930, they were based on much older lettering textbooks. The oldest that I have seen was from 1871, and these German textbooks did not differ much from the American textbooks quoted above.

You quoted me out of context by cutting off a very important qualification to my statement:

I don’t endorse the broader statement which would imply the same wear regardless of tire material. That claim is clearly false.

On the one hand, I disagree with her, because I believe that 99.99% of people with purse string control are dumb a/f, and that "real work" will happen in the cloud of VC/Politician-stroking. That's the way it works. (And how much money did earlier scientists pump from kings in order to study transmutation?)

On the other hand, I agree with her, and it would be great if this didn't have to happen.

Should I be a purist or a realist?

I can't tell.
it’s not k8s. It’s distrusted systems

Unfortunately people (cough managers) think k8s is some magic that makes distrusted systems problems go away, and automagically enables unlimited scalability

In reality it just makes the mechanics a little easier and centralized

I'm going to get downvoted for saying the B-word, but I imagine this growing up into some kind of blockchain thing where the AI has some goal and once there's consensus that some bit of data would further that goal it goes in a block on the chain (which is then referenced by humans who also have that goal and also is used to fine tune the AI for the next round of inference). Events in the real world are slow enough that gradually converging on the next move over the course of a few days would probably be fine.

The advantage over centralizing the compute is that you can just connect your node and start contributing to the cause (both by providing compute and by being its eyes and hands out there in the real world), there's no confusion over things like who is paying the cloud compute bill and nobody has invested overmuch in hardware.

That's also the problem with these conversations. Some people evaluate zero-shot promoted code oozing out of gpt-3.5, others plug Sonnet into an IDE with access to terminal, LSP, diagnostics etc. crunching through a problem in an agentic self improvement loop. Those two approaches will generate very different quality levels of code.

>the regression is going to end up with non-zero coefficients on it

This is just not true. Plenty of regressions have coefficients that arent statistically distinct from zero.

>But this approach cannot tells us if those inputs are drivers, much less the main ones.

Again, untrue. There are plenty of statistically appropriate ways to estimate causality. You might consider looking into the latter-day work of Judea Pearl, a well known computer scientist. "The Book of Why" seems like a decent place for you to start, because ut is for the layperson, and you have a ton of fundamental errors in your statements of "fact."

I totally agree with your wider point but I would guess there's federal subsidies involved in the current pricing in Texas.

I think those are a good thing, and there should be more of them and more effort removing the explicit and implicit subsidies on gas that they seek to counterbalance.

(I'm also now wondering how much the solar panels paid in tariffs and if the two government interventions cancel out)

But probably worth acknowledging they exist. Here's a right wing take on it:

It shouldn't even be possible to compare wildfire severity/frequency to climate change. There was no forest "service" or firefighting 100 years ago and prior. The forest and wilderness were wild. But now we play superhero and put out every fire we can (then the government parasite takes over and needs more funding to justify their bloated existence). Then the fuel level reaches unprecedented levels. We need to start logging to thin the forest to its natural levels, and stop putting fires out. We have known for decades they are part of the natural cycle and essential to some species to reproduce. But how will we justify our jet air fleet?

"In our dependency graph you can also see that all our changes concerning the files A and B are totally independent from each other. So I could pull only the changes concerning B from the repository while ignoring the changes regarding A altogether. This is an incredibly powerful mechanism that snapshot based version control systems do not have. Now you can pull in a set of patches and ignore all those that don’t depend on the change you are currently interested in. Other version control systems like git for example call this cherry picking, but compared to darcs they are suffering from some short comings. In those version control system you re-record the patch when you cherry pick it. That means that its whole identity changes, one way in which this manifests is that it will get a different hash. So even though it’s the exact same change the patches are now different. This can become quite annoying when working in a distributed setting, with darcs this is a complete non-issue."
One would hope they learned from the mistakes of the Wii U - and based on their first release about it, and supporting backwards compatibility, it seems they have.

I’m not going to argue the economics of it but the co2 is typically assumed to mineralise when injected into rocks like basalts ands peridotites which are the primary targets for co2 sequestration.

You're welcome! There's actually one more point that I thought of after sending that reply, which since you mentioned it again I should maybe flag.

Totally apart from physics, it may seem intuitively plausible that if you have a function f and (a) all f's derivatives exist everywhere, and (b) f(0), f'(0), f''(0), etc. are all zero, then f must be the zero function. This is actually also not true! For a counterexample, you can look at this article on bump functions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bump_function.

I’d appreciate it if there was an attempt to actually engage here, this is hardly the gotcha you might think.

Most fatalities of motorcycles are due to collisions with cars, not other bikes nor pedestrians.

Diligence won’t save you if a driver unexpectedly swerves into you.

Undoubtedly there are stupid people and people who are more likely to take more risks will be more likely to engage in motorcycle riding; creating an additional selection bias.

But, we’re talking about electric scooters, e-bikes and so on, the core issue remains to be that mixed use-infrastructure will have a loser. Letting cars drive on pavements isn’t permitted for the same reason e-bikes shouldn’t be in traffic (or on the pavement).
I'm actually considering another library with optional API called `Kreuzköln` - probably without the Umlaut!
surely regenerative braking has its own shedding of particles from all the moving parts.

It adds tire wear, but no more than traditional friction braking. I can't see how there would be any measurable wear from any other moving parts, since it's just using a magnetic field for resistance. There are moving parts that touch, but modern, sealed bearings last a ridiculously long time.
Well I have no idea what is discussed so...
Anecdotally, I frequently dig into source code where the stack trace points me, look up functions, debug in local envs, etc. meanwhile my coworker is working on the same problem and talking to an LLM and I often get to the solution before he does.

Something I've discovered is that if you're a small team doing something new, off the shelf products/platforms are almost certainly not optimized to your use case.

What looks like absurd scale to one team is a regular Tuesday for another, because "scale" is completely meaningless without context. We don't balk at a single machine running dozens of processes for a single web browser, we shouldn't balk at something running dozens of containers to do something that creates value somehow. And scale that up by number of devs/customers and you can see how thousands/hundreds of thousands can happen easily.

Also the cloud vendors make it easy to have these problems because it's super profitable.
