Storing multiple days of consumption is feasible but definitely harder than the usual case of storing hours.

The pricing problem sounds like an artifact of how you've structured the market, not a fundamental obstacle to the profitability of intermittent power sources.

An alternative structure that would solve the problem would be for generation operators to buy put options for energy they expect to be able to produce, eliminating the risk of a price collapse. Consumers who want access to such intermittent energy would have to write those put options, which would be limited to particular times on particular days when they could use the energy. Having written the option, they would have to accept the generation operator's decision whether or not to exercise it. Utility-scale storage providers could write puts for low-demand times and buy puts for high-demand times, or they could write puts for low-demand times, write futures contracts for high-demand times, and make up the shortfall on the spot market. This might produce major changes in consumption patterns, but, more likely, would enable continued investment to minimize those changes.

I do these things for this:

- keep the outline in my head: I don't give up the architect's seat. I decide which module does what and how it fits in the whole system, it's contract with other modules etc.

- review the code: this can be construed as negating the point of LLMs as this is time consuming but I think it is important to go through line by line and understand every line. You will absorb some of the LLM generated code in the process which will form an imperfect map in your head. That's essential for beginning troubleshooting next time things go wrong.

- last mile connectivity: several times the LLM takes you there but can't complete the last mile connectivity; instead of wasting time chasing it, do the final wiring yourself. This is a great shortcut to achieve the previous point.
Software is the manifestation of a solution to a problem.

Any entity, human or otherwise, lacking understanding of the problem being solved will, by definition, produce systems which contain some combination of defects, logic errors, and inapplicable functionality for the problem at hand.
Bigger picture, a genuine curious question:

For the sake of argument, let's imagine a scenario in which, someday, a ridiculously, blatantly corrupt person became President. And Congress was aware, but had controlling majorities that, one way or another, were aligned with this situation. And the Supreme Court had already been started to be stacked by the same person. And various agencies under Executive branch, which might normally be able to push back, were being systematically gutted, and otherwise intimidated, including blatant reprisal against law enforcement officers for even investigating some past corruption case. And let's imagine that some oligarchs bought up a lot of Fourth Estate, and most of the rest of the Fourth Estate was decimated by other oligarch "disruptive tech", and tech oligarchs also control much of the remaining grassroots channels of communication. And lets imagine that, partly due to media manipulation by the oligarchs, the majority of the electorate, of all parties, had forgotten everything that they ever learned in Civics class.

In this totally hypothetical situation-- but please bear with me, and imagine, for the sake of this fun intellectual exercise, that someday this could somehow happen in the US, in theory...

What remaining US gov't checks and balances would there be? How could that corruption scenario be thwarted?

(For example, is there a way for a minority in Congress to successfully bring charges? Does the FBI or some other agency have powers to investigate and intervene, below the radar? Does Judicial have any power to intervene, perhaps if petitioned? Do states have rights to contest the situation? What if there is also a treason angle; does that activate powers from anywhere else in the government to intervene?)

If this scenario was discussed in Civics class, it flew right over my head at the time, but now seems interesting.

“A simple form to ask you for those things” is what we have today. Or is the IRS failing to simplify these forms to the utmost degree?

I think you’re seriously underestimating the amount of data the IRS would have to proactively collect. “We get your tax obligation right 80% of the time!” isn’t an acceptable SLA. Kids are born, houses (and electric cars!) are bought and sold, community college classes are enrolled in, …

I've been a mentor for the FRC robotics competition team at our local high school for a number of years. This is as close as any of the schools in the area get to shop class these days. And by that I mean that the schools do not teach any of it. They simply provide a space for the team to conduct their activities and we, the mentors, take-in any kid who might want to join and teach them how to design and build competition robots as well as other areas (business, marketing, graphic design, etc.).

It has been very difficult over the years, including a time when we thought about pulling the team out of the schools and running a smaller team out of our home. The bureaucracy and ebbs and flows of support made is painful at times, almost terminal. Thankfully the team survived. Many of our team members went on to nice careers in science and engineering.

I've also had the experience of trying to start an RC model airplane club at our local schools. I was going to fully fund it myself, donate all tools and equipment and teach the course once a week. I was also going to have other engineers and acquaintances join in from time to time, including people who worked at SpaceX, designed the F117 stealth fighter, built cameras for space and the moon, designed a lunar lander, etc.

I met with the principals from five of our schools. They all said they were enthusiastic about it and wanted to do it. So, I got going with planning and got a curriculum and some demonstrations ready for the next meeting.

Long story short, they all ghosted me. And, on top of that, Los Angeles County demanded a $2 million dollar bond (or whatever it was) as a precondition. Just f-ing crazy. I walked away and never spoke to anyone at the school district about this or any other STEM ideas again. My kids are out of the system and I have zero interest in enduring that kind of torture again.

So, yeah, our system of education is broken beyond recognition at many levels. Not sure what it will take to fix it.
Tariffs are part of the current round.
Yes, but if (as I am claiming) there's no way to economically turn heat into electricity, it's irrelevant whether supercritical geothermal steam costs trillions of dollars per borehole or is free; either way it's uneconomic as a source of electricity.
It's my understanding that the prevailing pro-crypto view is that it's a store of value not a payment system.
They do that distinction, the only confusion here is that they also include language that allows them to act as the User Agent. That's everything that pertains to Firefox the browser. Everything else is about services that are available through Firefox the browser: Sync, Pocket, New Tab, Telemetry, Studies, etc.
That seems like good idea. I'd add to that a right to delete all of your content from a service as well.
I think it would be cool, and I don't know that I care if there's a "reason" to do it other than "human achievement".

I mean, there wasn't really a "reason" to go to the moon in the 60's either. I think I more or less agree with JFK on this:

"Many years ago the great British explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked why did he want to climb it. He said, 'Because it is there'. Well, space is there, and we’re going to climb it"

I could try and find a lot of justifications about medical research or something, and those might be cool, but it would be dishonest if I pitched those as a "reason" to go, because I would want us to return even if those reasons weren't there.
In this age of LLMs and AI, the incentive to master CSS is even lower.

Sure, but in those accounting mechanisms are you valuing the forest or the financial asset the paper ownership of forestland grants you?

I'd expect the lumber or carbon credits, for example, to be the actual asset accounted for rather than the forest itself.

This is probably a basic question, but is this for floating point multiplies? Isn't the part thats being multiplied less than 64 bits because you also add the exponents?
The're a surprisingly high flux of micrometeoroid impacts at the lunar surface. Most of these are too small to do much damage, but there will probably be measurable erosion in centuries and genuine damage within about 1 million years. The timeline for it to be destroyed/completely broken down is much longer.

For context, there's roughly a 50% chance of an astronaut being hit by a micrometeoroid large enough to kill them every 1.3 million years of time spent on the moon's surface. There's roughly a 50% chance of a square meter of the moon being hit by a micrometeoroid equavalent to 3 kg on TNT in a billion years.
I’m no deal maker, but it could maybe help if the US avoided pissing off its largest customer - Canada:

The reason why VCs don't like solo founders is because VCs want the freedom and power to be able to kick out a founder. It is all the more reason for solopreneurs to detest VCs, to bootstrap their own thing instead.
I cannot entertain any arguments besides rich vs poor when we have arguably the worst income inequality ever. Not that there aren't problems with the "bureaucracy" you mention, but fundamentally these are your friends and coworkers, while billionaires are not. I think your priorities are inverted.

It is always about rich vs poor first because we live in a material world. Everything else is secondary and downstream. I think the wool has been pulled over your eyes by rich con men.

Fundamentally doomed arguing within the existing status quo when we should be moving towards something different entirely seeing as capitalism has served its purpose of seeding the economy ages ago, and now we are 'over the hump' so to speak as we watch wealth concentrate further and its effects.

So long as we live inside a permanent growth mindset anything and everything will be doomed. It makes no sense to live in a system that still rewards rarity rather than celebrating ubiquity, which we cannot escape if the resources we've been seeded with continue to concentrate.

It is and has always been labour vs capital.

If they go through the legal process and revoke or cancel status in a way that courts agree is within their legal authority, I'm not sure what they would have done wrong there. Morally I'd take huge issue with it, but we have allowed such a complex web of laws and authorities that we can't really complain when an elected official does what they want by the book.

Now if they go off script and act outside the law, that's a whole other story.

Mind-body dualism has nothing to do with this. The point is that, as Descartes observed, the fact that I myself am thinking proves that I exist. This goes directly against what northern-lights said, when he said that we have no proof that reasoning exists or that we do it.
I want to start off with that I do think the goal of this RFC is a laudable one, and anything that follows shouldn't be taken as a damnation of it. If you are on the fence if you should implement security.txt just do it.

This article is a large nothing burger. "I sampled 50 companies, most of which are on the internet because they have to be, and most didn't implement an IETF comment". If these were mostly tech focused companies, or heck security companies, sure it would make sense to shame them, but if there is a vulnerability in Ford's website I would bet the impact is quite low.
Hell this is so poorly thought out I want to go try it on the top 100 websites by volume and maybe try and find a top 100 tech websites.
that’s not “in exchange for nothing”, its in exchange for oil. not terribly complicated.
You are right, quantum seems decent and based on Servo. However I can't edit the post already. Two less reasons to dump Firefox then.

Unlike Microsoft, Mozilla happens to be a smaller company than M$ with Firefox being their biggest offering, and they actually started trying to sell ads[0].

That is not what we have today. For starters, that form starts with "tell us what is on your W2". They already know that. They don't need it.

There is a reason TurboTax is popular -- because it's a better interface for asking those questions.

But look at other countries. They don't ask you to fill out a form. They send you a bill and ask if they missed anything. For 80% of taxpayers, they would send the bill and the taxpayer would say, "yep, that's right". And your taxes would be done.

The rest could keep doing it the old way.

> Kids are born, houses (and electric cars!) are bought and sold, community college classes are enrolled in

All things they already know about! Because when you claim those things on your taxes, they cross check that to try and catch you in a lie.
I agree. If you need to set something up (like a DNS sinkhole) to trick yourself (and you know how to disable it to get back to scrolling), it'll take actual willpower to truly stop.

directional drilling could work if they started nice and high up and aimed to meet somewhere, but turning 90 degrees at the bottom of a 6km borehole is going to require a 6km long directional drilling rig, and probably a fair bit of extra depth to make that turn. it might be possible, but at those depths everything becomes much more difficult to the point where it might make more sense to just give up and abandon the project.

it does like a good opportunity for the fracking techniques mentioned elsewhere in this thread - drop some explosives down those boreholes and see if you can artificially increase the porosity.
One thought that keeps popping into my head every time I see something solarpunk related - Solarpunk is proto Star Trek.

It's the closest concept we have to that post scarcity utopia, albeit on a very small scale, and likely completely unsustainable for any decently sized chunk of the global population. But it makes me wonder what the best way to chart that progress would be, and what the present day equivalent for quality of life it would be best to aim at based on current levels of technology.
I don't blame developers treating CSS like a target language for AI to generate.

Most sites are just CRUD. Unless they are working on a site that requires creative styling, people just want to get it over with and work on the "real" problems.
AI does assist with developing an automated deployment pipeline.

AI also assists with the use of CPU-efficient programming languages, e.g. Rust, Zig, etc. where one doesn't need a cluster of workers for a trivial service, where a single instance can be sufficient.
I2C is also extremely common as a low-speed peripheral bus in electronic devices - some common applications are:

- Small EEPROMs, often used for configuration data or small firmware blobs

- MEMS sensors (accelerometers, gyroscopes, etc)

- Small LCD/OLED displays (e.g. 128x64)

- Configuration ports on devices which use other busses for bulk data (e.g. display drivers, audio codecs, etc).

“At the end of January 2025, members of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) took over the GSA, which manages federal real estate and technology. Wired magazine reported ‘an effort to use IT credentials from the Executive Office of the President to access GSA laptops and internal GSA infrastructure’.

In an all-hands meeting with the Technology Transformation Services (TTS) in early February, Thomas Shedd, the new TTS director and an associate of Elon Musk and DOGE, told 18F and TTS staff that ‘you all are one of the most respected technology groups in the federal government,’ saying the staff ‘are so key and critical to this next phase’ of building federal software. But around the same time, Musk tweeted that 18F ‘has been deleted’.

On March 1, Shedd sent an email to all 18F staff, describing them as ‘non-essential’ and ‘non-critical’, and eliminated the office "under direction from the White House".[24] The email with the news indicated that more TTS programs will be impacted. The former employees of 18F said in an official statement that they had been abruptly locked out of their computers and email at midnight ET, with ‘no chance to assist in an orderly transition in our work.‘“

If that was your goal, you’d need to use a mechanism which actually targets it such as a tariff based on reliable audits of factory conditions. A tariff applied to a country does nothing to improve working conditions until prices rise above the alternatives, and then businesses are going to pick the next cheapest option.

None of this is speculative or something we need to study ancient history to understand, either. When Trump enacted tariffs during his first term prices for American consumers went up 10-30%, tens of thousands of American jobs were lost due to rising prices on intermediate goods and retaliatory tariffs, and manufacturing shifted to countries like Vietnam and Bangladesh where working conditions are not notably better. If you want to improve working conditions, you have to make that the best business choice.
> Biden was doing very poor and he was, numbers show it.

The polls in the immediate aftermath of the debate showed Biden's approval/disapproval rate was unchanged. It did change after weeks of negative front-page stories and speculation that gave the impression the man was a vegetable.
I’m not really sure why the author made the limitation to “IT Companies” unless what they really mean is the IT organization within the companies. The security.txt seems like it should be utilized by any company that does business on the internet, much like having an abuse email address.
That depends on whether there’s a use for oil aside from as a tradable commodity, and additionally on whether there are scenarios in which we might need it for that potential use case in quantities that exceed our ability to easily acquire it.
The big argument against it is, at some point, there’s a chance, that you won’t really need to understand what the code does. LLMs writes code, LLMs write tests, you find bugs, LLM fixes code, LLM adds test cases for the found bug. Rinse and repeat.
I think that the +1 is accomplished simply by setting carry-in on the adder for that term, so you don't need a separate adder. (Disclaimer: I haven't looked at that part of the circuit yet.)

Another interesting question is how sign extension is implemented for a negative term. The problem is that you're adding 64-bit shifted terms to create a 128-bit result. When negating a 64-bit term, all the unused bits to the left need to be set to 1. But the chip doesn't do this. (Among other things, the adders would need to be much wider than 64 bits.) So it must be using a trick for the sign extension.
Just ask another LLM to proof read?
We had an office at an incubator when we started our business. Facilities management saves a lot of headaches. We just paid rent, not equity.

I learnt a lot by watching the other companies make mistakes. Most valuably, we didn't chase investors. Saved our time and effort, focused on profitability, retained 100% ownership, and avoided any misaligned influence from investors.

A shared space or coworking with other startups is likely to be helpful I think. I like learning from peers.

I'd now consider moving to SV if I wanted to try founding again. Wellington if in NZ. Even though I suspect a good idea can work anywhere.
Thanks for not posting the link to the “boxing model”. It gets posted every time, as if web/css invented boxing and padding and spacing and borders, and everyone else was a clueless noob. Which clearly shows inability to even comprehend both the problem and how deep css guys are into the bizarre ways of thinking about layouts that css suggests through its paradoxical under- and at the same time over-engineering. Where everything is a combination of crutches that can’t stand straight on their own.
