I'm missing something:

> The downside to radix-8 multiplication is that multiplying by a number from 0 to 7 is much more complicated than multiplying by 0 or 1, which is almost trivial. Fortunately, there are some shortcuts. Note that multiplying by 2 is the same as shifting the number to the left by 1 bit position, which is very easy in hardware—you wire each bit one position to the left. Similarly, to multiply by 4, shift the multiplicand two bit positions to the left.

> Multiplying by 7 seems inconvenient, but there is a trick, known as Booth's multiplication algorithm. Instead of multiplying by 7, you add 8 times the number and subtract the number, ending up with 7 times the number. You might think this requires two steps, but the trick is to multiply by one more in the digit to the left, so you get the factor of 8 without an additional step.

> Thus, you can get the ×7 by subtracting. Similarly, for a ×6 term, you can subtract a ×2 multiple and add ×8 in the next digit.

> Thus, the only difficult multiple is ×3. (What about ×5? If you can compute ×3, you can subtract that from ×8 to get ×5.)

If we can easily compute ×2 for the purposes of exploiting 6x = 8x - 2x, and we can easily compute ×4 for the purposes of exploiting 4x = 4x...

why is it more difficult than that to compute 3x as the sum of 2x and 1x, or the difference of 4x and 1x?

Also, if we can easily compute ×6 by any means, why not compute ×3 as a right shift of that value? That is admittedly an extra step, but the extra step is a shift.

> Maybe stop giving tax cuts to rich people

Nor did I write anything about "significant tax hikes".

How do you get from these comments to significant tax hikes? Not giving tax cuts to the wealthiest of Americans and not increasing our deficit further is not the same thing as a significant tax hike. If you cannot distinguish these two things, I don't know how any productive conversation could ever be had here.

And if billionaires choose to leave the US to avoid these non tax-hikes, that's their choice. But most countries they'd presently opt for do tax higher than the US does.
Pulling heat from km below the surface isn’t going to reduce surface temperature by 1w/m2, but ~0.001/m2 over thousands of years. Thus the issue is warming the area more so than cooling it.

What matters here is the recharge rate, but all power plants have a finite lifespan. You can simply move somewhere else up to the point you run out of untapped geothermal energy across the surface of the earth which is a rather crazy number.
I'm not sure what the purpose of this reply is. Is it an English use of the word. Do I say "experience anxiety"?

If it's my reaction to the use of Xcode then I've associated a stress response and get anxious which is partially why I left my job. The tool was also, in my experience, not a smooth or enjoyable developer experience.
Why would a moral loss cause a defection to China, that's fucking hilarious bro. China, the place with a national firewall, subjects you can't speak about, try asking questions about certain things to a taxi driver and they'll call the ccp police on ya.

Absolutely hilarious opinion man, why not suggest the UK or hell, a defection to New Zealand. China on a moral basis? Comedy.
Would you prefer all of the research was classified and nonpublic?
Geothermal isn't cheap. Trimming those fixed costs means siting on fault lines/earthquakes and higher opex (insurance).

Fervo/Google got dogged for announcing their plant in UT because they avoided disclosures about the capacity [0]. It's more of a very small scale pilot of a couple MWs, but they buried key facts about the project assumedly on purpose due to lack of significance.

Look, I am from Spain, currently living in Japan, two very safe countries with some of the lowest rates of crimes in the world. I have met plenty of Americans living in both places, and do you know what they told me? 1) They love having a functional healthcare system that won't bankrupt them, and 2) they also love being able to walk around, specially at night, without the fear of being shot by a random asshole.

So it turns out that with safety comes real freedom, the freedom to go on with your life without fear. Their words, not mine.

So please, tell me again why having guns is a good idea.
I'm confused at what you're trying to say or how it relates to GP, but the very first statement is wrong, Merz isn't "chancellor-elect", that's not even a term anybody uses in Germany. He's merely the leader of the party that got the highest share of votes during the recent elections.

It is of course extremely likely that he'll become the next chancellor in a coalition with the SPD, but technically it could all still fail and lead to new elections. Unlikely, but not impossible.

Out of the parties you mentioned, mainly only CDU and SPD are relevant because it's the only realistic coalition (apart from decisions that require a 2/3 majority like reforming the debt brake). They're both pro-Ukraine although to different degrees (Scholz was dragging his feet quite a bit). Merz in particular has been rather vocal about this and as the chancellor he's probably going to be setting the tone. I don't like or trust the guy particularly, but I believe him in that respect. So I think the video got it essentially right.
Moore's law ends when the whole universe is a computer (which it already is).

https://hasler.ece.gatech.edu/Published_papers/Technology_ov...

Some view it as a doubling every 18 months, or a cost per transistor (this has gone up with the smallest nodes).

It is roughly an exponential curve in the number of transistors we can use to make a "thing" with.

It is both a capability (can we make things of a certain number of transistors) and is it economically viable to build things of that size.

You could stay at the current node size and halve the cost of that wafer every 18 months and you would still be on the same curve. But it is easier in a our economic system to decrease the node size, keeping the rest of the fixed wafer costs the same and get 2x or 4x the density on the same lines.

If I get nerd sniped, I'd find the two video presentations one by Krste and another by Jim Keller where they unambiguously explain Dennard Scaling and Moore's Law in a way that is congruent with what I just said.
If social science has explanatory and predictive power hedge funds would have figured out how to monetize that and would be hiring social scientists.
Delta shower heads work well at both 2.5 and 1.85 gpm. After installing in a shower that barely trickled straight down, the shower hits the far side of the tub.

Any model with Delta's H2Okinetic system should work. The flow is amplified without increasing the pressure of individual water droplets. It feels like a "rain shower."

Generally the x um or y nm of a process refers to transistor dimensions (typically gate length), not metal. Minimum metal pitch is still a key dimension for the ability to build useful structures though, so advances like these are very useful.
> Are you saying they love living in apartments?

I'm saying that the people there like the benefits of living in a high-density area more than they dislike the downsides of apartments.

> If manhattan allowed for single-family housing

If Manhattan allowed for single-family housing for 1.6M people, it wouldn't be Manhattan. It would be Austin or Los Angeles, and the people living in Manhattan clearly don't want that because they haven't moved to those places.
Exactly, you can just register passkeys from multiple providers if that's a fear. Worst case (i.e. Google nukes your account and you've only set one passkey), you go through the usual email recovery or backup codes process and set a new one.
I remember in history class, at this period humans are merely discovering stone tools and discovery of fire. Yet here, researchers presented evidence of tools from boat-makers and other technology where humans navigate on deep waters? this is crazy!
Making things into enums that shouldn't be enums is a fun trap to fall into. Much of the time what you really want is a complex type so that you can communicate these additional facts. In this case I'd do something like:

class Widget
{
WidgetFlavor Flavor; //Undefined, Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry
string? OtherFlavor;
}

This is easy to work from a consumer standpoint because if you have a deviant flavor to specify, you don't bother setting the Flavor member to anything at all. You just set OtherFlavor. Fewer moving pieces == less chance for bad times.

The first (default) member in an enum should generally be something approximating "Undefined". This also makes working with serializers and databases easier.
Imagine if we built a software tool for healthcare that lets doctors code without a single bug, tracks patient data like a GPS, and somehow also makes research grants move faster than an express train?

Totally supportive of remote work before I make my comment to be clear.

Calling this “survivorship bias” though is like calling anything in evolution “survivorship bias”.

A person with a seriously work focused life is naturally going to excel and I have no problem with this. Someone that makes sacrifices in their personal life (paying to live in the city, not having children or too many etc) so they can be more available and work more hours may do better than me, even at the same level of skill and intelligence. This only seems fair.
(1) I am wary that the Pentagon aims to make the world safer, at least in the sense of the word that most regular people share, (2) I particularly dislike the Pentagon meddling in secret social science undertakings to pursue those goals, (3) even if the Pentagon's efforts were benign, I believe there are better places and ways for those pursuits to be undertaken.

This is completely unrelated to the article, which is about geothermal power, not ground-source heat pumps.
We were using gpt-4o for our chat agent, and after some experiments I think we'll move to flash 2.0. Faster, cheaper and a bit more reliable even.
I also experimented with the experimental thinking version, and there a single node architecture seemed to work well enough (instead of multiple specialised sub agents nodes). It did better than deepseek actually. Now I'm waiting for the official release before spending more time on it.
It is ultimately a market effect, the technical specifics are not really important and are even conflated by industry insiders. See my sibling comment.

Yeah this is an under discussed aspect of the grant issues, it's important to decide whether or not to fund something, but just as if not more important is to make sure that the funding is used in a way that actually delivers the promised effect.
Does this mean it is limited to the model's internal memory? Meaning newer shows won't be in the recommendations because they're past the training cut-off?

It is going horribly wrong at the moment, and I don't think the people in charge have any idea of what's going wrong, why they were elected, or how to fix it.

My guess as to what the problem might be is that the US has essentially become a two-class society. One class has been thriving, while the other has been struggling since the first China shock.
The US was open to trade and more neutral, while other countries pursued export-led growth industrial policies. This benefited one class, but the other is increasingly relying on basic income financed by debt.

The thing is, Trump and Musk are clearly benefiting from an overvalued dollar and a trade deficit. Why would they change a system that is working so well for them? They might end up changing it accidentally by eroding trust in US reliability (also w.r.t. US creditworthiness), but that could be catastrophic and ultimately benefit no one.
Ah, interesting. I had thought that any primordial heat would have long since cooled, with the remaining heat flux simply being the result of radioactive decay.
What would the "future" default case actually do though? When you're in the past there's no value for it, and the moment you get to the future the values will become part of the "present" and will still not fall under the "future" case. You would need some kind of versioning support in the enum itself, but that's a much bigger change.
Tuckman as a 'real' framework is a belief so that is fair.

He clearly communicated in 1977 that his ideas were never formally validated and that he cautioned about their use in other contexts.

I think that the concepts can be useful, if you took them as anything more than a guiding framework that may or may not be appropriate for a particular need.

I personally find value in team and org mission statements, especially for building a shared purpose, but to be honest, any of the studies on that are more about manager satisfaction then anything else.

There is far more data on the failure of strategy execution, and linking strategy with purpose as well as providing runways and goals is one place I find vision and mission statements useful.

As up to 90% of companies fail on strategy execution, and because employee engagement is in free fall, the fact that companies are still in business means little.

Context is king, and this is horses for courses, but I would caution against ignoring more recent, Nobel winning theories like Holmström's theorem.

Most teams don't experience the literal steps Tuckman suggested, rarely all at once, and never as one time singular events. As the above link demonstrated, some portions like the storming can be problematic.

Make them operationalize their mission statement, and they will and it will be in concrete.

Remember von MoltKe "No plan of operations extends with certainty beyond the first encounter with the enemy's main strength."

There is a balance between C2 and mission command styles, the risk is trying to force or worse intentionally causing people to resort to c2 when almost always you need a shifting balance between command and intent based solutions.

The Feudal Mode of Production was sufficient for centuries, but far from optimal.

The NUMMI reference was exactly related to the same reason Amazon profits historically raised higher despite head count increases that should have allowed.

Small cross functional teams, with clearly communicated tasks, and enough freedom to accomplish those tasks efficiently.

You can look at Trist's study about the challenges with incentivizing teams to game the system. Same problem happened under Balmer at MS, and DEC failed the opposite way, trying to do everything at once and please everyone.

https://www.uv.es/=gonzalev/PSI%20ORG%2006-07/ARTICULOS%20RR...

The reality is that the popularity of frameworks rarely relates to their effectiveness, building teams is hard, making teams work as teams across teams is even harder.

Tuckerman may be useful in that...but this claim is wrong:

> "Modern mission frameworks prioritize adaptability within durable purpose, avoiding the pitfalls you’ve rightly flagged"

Modern _ frameworks prioritize adoption and depending on the framework to solve your companies needs will always fail. You need to choose a framework that fits your strategy and objectives, and adapt it to fit your needs.

Learn from others, but don't ignore the reality on the ground.

In Poland it is opposite. Public Health Service raised salaries for nurses, since average age of nurses was around 54 years old. This is seriously demanding job, so I assume not a lot of people were willing to take it. But when salaries were raised more men appeared.

Ivies aren’t dependent on tuition at all. All have need-blind admissions and most offer full rides to anyone accepted who couldn’t pay otherwise. Penn just updated its income thresholds to provide guaranteed full tuition scholarships to families earning less than 200k a year and budgeted over $300m/year to cover it. These aren’t the box-top Us you’re looking for.
The Steinbeck quote from the 1960s said "temporarily embarassed capitalist". Someone who has "entrepreneurial dreams" or is "at start-ups for the stock options", hoping to get wealthy through appreciation of their equity ownership, is unambiguously a capitalist.

"Millionaire" was added in a 2004 misquote by Robert Wright, and $1 million in 2004 dollars is about $1.7 million in 2025 dollars.

Ha Ha 8-) That's funny!

Is it called that because those with the dollars get the freedom?

On another point, both in the original article, and in the above comment: the lack of trade based career opportunities.

I have doubts about this. Obviously much manufacturing was sent to China by ownership, so the balance is still probably in the negative overall, but many trade service operators are complaining about the inability to hire. Specifically trades like plumber, electrician, and handy man.

There have also been reports of agricultural operators offering over $20/hour and still being unable to hire workers.

I'm working with a couple of young people as electricians and plumbers on a project here. The cost is not small. They make good money, but still find it hard to hire.

Back in... 2018? there was a Servo binary you could download that had an address bar and could be used to browse the web. That actually started to get stripped down over time, the later binaries had less and less functionality, until now I don't even think there are any. Servo spearheaded a lot of projects, like bindings to macOS frameworks from Rust, that would have been used to create a more comprehensive browser, but then got torn down once the larger thing was canceled in favor of certain components, like webrender.

I don't know when exactly it was canceled - maybe around the time Firefox Quantum shipped.

Note that I never said it was ever not experimental. Just that it would have been more until it was canceled.
This is an excellent subject to teach in schools. I'm a software developer and I felt like I benefited from woodwork and metalwork lessons at school. I think if the future generation is to automate systems, they will need to understand the manual processes.

Another thing that's needed through is to make it easier for young people to buy land in remote areas and/or to access funding to start companies. It's insane how difficult it is to obtain funding for any venture dealing in the word of atoms. I hear stories of young people moving to China to access opportunities; in the west, it feels like entrepreneurship in the space has been regulated out of existence.

It's bad enough that you have to compete with China on price and quality, but regulations make it essentially impossible.

This is a point that is not made enough. Git can be overly complicated if you want it to be. But 99% of your work is add, committing, branching and resetting. If you can do that you can probably never need much more.

I will say though that I get really nervous reverting sometimes, making sure I’m using the right command to reset etc can be confusing.
