Even high grade gold deposits are only around 10g/tonne or 1 part per 100,000 so you have to process a huge amount of material to recover a tiny amount of gold. Total world gold production was just 3000 tonnes in 2023.

By contrast a tonne of steel requires about 2 tonnes of iron ore and 0.8 tonnes of coal and 0.1 tonnes of limestone, all bulk minerals dug out of the ground. Total world steel production was 1.9 billion tonnes in 2023.

Those also have terrible performance and worse bandwidth. I am not sure they are really relevant, to be honest.
Since the US president already spelled out that he will tariff EU, it's only logical that the EU will retaliate. They would be very retarded to not do so.

The interesting part is that since the US is being hostile to many countries at once, it is logical that those countries will start to trade more among themselves. In a sense it is like the US is sanctioning itself. Not something I ever really expected. Interesting times ahead.
Sometimes it's good to forget something, commit to written record and let it go. People can carry too much old stuff around in their heads, and it can become burdensome.

Even things like confession, or therapy, leverage this - people letting go of bad things that are hanging around in their memory.
It's a game changer for sure.... 512GB of unified memory really pushes the envelope, especially for running complex AI models locally. That said, the real test will be in how well the dual-chip design handles heat and power efficiency

> ultimately just putting obstacles in front of other coders who might like to contribute

Saying it is just that after reading the full text seems rather reductive and unfair.

That is certainly a likely side effect, of course. It may even be a desirable one, avoiding, or at least reducing, several classes of time wasting contributions (like the glut of single typo fixing pull requests that resulted from an ill-conceived contribution based competition a while back), especially for "open source but not open contribution" projects.

Some projects are not wanting to optimise for the number of contributors above other considerations.
Wireguard, unlike SSH, behaves like a closed port unless the client successfully authenticates. As far as an unauthenticated client is concerned, you don't have a listening service ("opened port") at all.

I mean, yeah, if you unfortunately have to deal with CGNAT, then you gotta do what you gotta do. But other than that, what's the issue with self-hosting Wireguard?

Obviously I'm not including the original cost of the equipment and installation. I'm talking about transmitting the data. The story claims that the equipment will continue to run and the data will be collected; the complained-about cost is that of "the network."

I imagine public Internet or Starlink would suffice to upload daily readings. But sure, that's speculation from someone who knows nothing about how it works.

If the government is so intent of concealing the problem that it is falsifying basic measurements then surely those efforts are not worth much?

We’re not talking about information that is in any way subjective, relative or biased.

AMD and Intel are offered both (personally I would choose Intel, because it comes with Thunderbolt 4). Also: up to 96GB RAM and PCIe4 SSDs.

Instead of Dual Boot they also offer a preinstalled VM with a licensed Windows.
Tuxedo OS Linux is a slightly modified Ubuntu optimized for their Hardware.
A More Modular Reqwest
> - Why do I have to choose between 1. people who deny that trans people exist and 2. people who think that it isn't a problem when one inmate gets another inmate pregnant in a women's only prison?

And how often has the latter actually happened? That is part of the polarization issue: absolute nothingburgers are blown way out of proportion or outright manufactured as a "strawman" strategy. Besides, the threat for women in prison aren't fellow trans inmates, it is guards whose power is completely unchecked in prison.

> Or in sports, were womens sports, were people who were male athletes who never had a chance can transition and easily win as women?

"Easily" is not the word I'd describe. An actual transition is very risky and taxing on the body, being on 'roids or whatever is more comfortable than that from what I hear.

In any case, segregation of men and women in sports is a relatively new thing in history, dating back to around 1920-ish when the first bans for women appeared under the guise of "protecting their health / modesty". Plain and simple, men were afraid that women were just as competitive as they were, most sports are skill sports and not brute-strength sports.

Additionally, what even makes a man and a woman? Simply nailing it down to penises and vaginas doesn't cut it, there's quite a ton of different hormonal disorders that give you an XX person presenting as a man or an XY person presenting as a woman. Often enough that's only caught when they grow up to be adults and discover they're infertile because everything else "just works". And then come all the other examples in the spectrum between the poles. Where does one want to draw the line?

The more sensible thing is to rank athletes on other metrics: body weight and body fat/muscle distribution, age, or skill level like chess (mostly) does.

> - or why do I have to choose between 1. people who hate certain groups of people and 2. people who think it is OK when others arrive here and openly abuse our hospitality?

It's not OK but JFC there is no 100% foolproof system that allows for no cheating like the anti-migrant crowd tends to suggest. No matter what there will always be a certain percentage of fraud in any system.

> Why did it take years to expel an internationally wanted terrorist?

Dunno about this specific case since it lacks context, but everyone has the right to due process, including non white people.

> There certainly is a lot of room between these options.

Yeah, not to even engage in discussions with people who just want to cause pain and drama and manufacture problems. A lot of that is manufactured by Russia or other enemies anyway - turns out "think of the children" can be modernized to "think of the women", it's a perfect wedge issue since it is very hard to argue against the emotional message with facts.

This does nothing but decrease GDP.

Being generous they're trying to increase investment (C) whilst decreasing government spend (G). There's zero guarantee the tax cut will be spent on C and as it concentrates it gets less efficient too anyway. Monopoly doesn't need to invest.

Particularly as it does not include its own PKI, so E2EE is done by MITM your IdP (OICD/SAML etc) and therefore, under court order Tailscale can decrypt your traffic.

We took the opposite approach with NetFoundry. (1) We open sourced the code (https://openziti.io/), (2) we built in PKI with private keys generated at source and destination so that even if traversing NF hosted data plane, we CANNOT decrypt traffic, (3) mTLS everywhere, (4) ability to bring your own PKI, and more.

I would think so. The demand is there, the factories are there, the supply chains are there. So if the European car makers now gain traction in the EV market, it would make sense to just re-cycle existing resources.
I think even that gives too much credit. Trump loves being antagonistic towards China (even though with the big picture of how much damage he's doing to global perceptions of technology, the reliability of the US as a trading partner and Western alliances they really don't mind) and actively threatening the national sovereignty of random smaller countries that won't respond. But air quality is the sort of thing than libs care about, so from the point of view of his administration this woke nonsense must be stopped
Indeed. During the pandemic, restaurants in Germany were required to track customer's information including addresses, so people could be informed in case of a confirmed CoViD infection of another customer who was there at the same time. Of course, this information was never to be used for any other purpose whatsoever.

In one case, however, there was a capital crime near a restaurant (or similar venue) and police and prosecutor used this information illegally to track down witnesses. They were sued after the fact and lost, but got nothing more than a slap on the wrist.

Once information is available, it will be used for purposes other than the intended one, even by the "good guys".
> I was looking forward to driving something smaller than the usual beasts here in the US, and something with a manual transmission. But when I got to the Munich airport rental counter, they had “upgraded” me to the biggest automatic Volvo SUV

This was many years ago so I don't know how it is today..

I reserved the cheapest standard transmission car for rent at the Frankfurt airport. When I got there they downgraded me to an automatic car. I held firm and said I reserved a standard car so that's what I must have. I had to wait over an hour but finally they found me a standard car, a much upgraded model too compared to the cheapest one I reserved.

For one, the fact that the population is growing is obviously not saying that we are not on the verge of collapsing. If anything, more humans means more emissions, which makes the problem worse.

Second, you talk about "the worst climate change predictions". That's completely absurd. Quite obviously "the worst climate change prediction" implies that we all die.

Finally, you say "some of the places where we live now becomes uninhabitable and that our descendants will have a worse time living in the future". Not sure if you are aware of that problem or if you are just mentioning it because you quickly read it here. If we reach 4 degrees of warming (and that's a prediction if we don't change anything, knowing that we have already passed 1.5 earlier than expected), a large part of Earth around the equator will become unlivable (not as in "there is no more food, you have to import" but as in "you can't survive outside without life support).

We're talking billions of people. What happens when half of the population of the planet has to relocate while the other half has issue growing food (because of course, the rest of the Earth is also impacted), do you think?

That's wars, global instability, lots and lots of deaths, and the end of society as we know it. That's collapsing.
I find Pulumi very nice here because it persists state after every successful resource creation. If it breaks somewhere in the middle, the next run will just pick up where it left off last time.

CDK… well, CDK doesn’t get in an invalid state often either, but that’s because it spends 30m rolling back every time something goes wrong.
Check out OpenZiti - https://openziti.io/. It looks like Tailscale but is open source, takes zero trust principles to its logical conclusion, and includes a whole suite of SDKs (alongside host based tunnelers and VMs) making it super easy to embed private, obsfucated, secure connectivity directly into your apps. Heck, you don't even need listening ports on the host OS network, therefore you app cannot be found or attacked from network/IP. Here is a good blog using Go SDK as an example - https://blog.openziti.io/go-is-amazing-for-zero-trust

I don't know about that, conservatives (well, free marketeers anyway) favour second-order effects in economics, and win-win and all that stuff when it comes to free markets. The trouble is that the populist right is now moving away from free markets.

> Possibly the migrants could enter the country using the approved legal process instead of just wandering in?

For Germany, there is no legal way to enter the country if you're not caught by one of the larger dragnets (evacuation of personnel in Afghanistan, EU-wide assistance for Ukrainians and a few other rare international resettlement efforts). You are not able to apply for asylum outside of Germany, you cannot fly to Germany without a visa (the airline just won't take you as a passenger).

On paper yes you have the right to claim asylum. In practice, you have no way that doesn't make you commit at least one felony along the way.
> Americans recognized when they voted for him, that it was just a bit of a risk but it was unlikely he would actually be successful in toppling the government

Americans voted in someone that risked their whole 200+ years of democratic history knowingly? That would make it all even more absurd than it already is, risking a whole system of government, trust from international partners, respect from adversaries, the trade-off would never make any sense.

> The US is very far from authoritarianism, the institutions seem quite strong

Do they? They haven't even be put to test yet, the Congress is definitely not strong (there's no pushback from any voice of reason from the president's own party), the Supreme Court is voting 5-4 on matters that are almost blatantly unconstitutional. I'll agree that institutions are strong when enforcement of a decision completely adversarial to the current administration's goals is put to test and prevail. At this exact moment there's no sign that American institutions are anywhere near as strong as it was once thought.
It seems reasonablly likely this is inspired partially by the pivotal tone-setting role that Reddit - entirely organically - played in the outpour of support for Luigi Mangione. It's widely known that big tech CEOs are all in shared WhatsApp (or Signal) groups, and especially social media platforms are very attentive to the opinions of their powerful friends, both governmental and non-governmental. There's no doubt that a lot of them will have reached out to Reddit leadership after that event.

Don't take this as justification, it's anything but that. Purely a look at their motivations and timing.
That's absurd. Fabing custom silicon is not something anybody does for a few thousand internal servers. The unit economics simply don't work. Plus Apple is using OpenAI to provide its larger models anyway, so the need never even existed.

I am reading from time to time about multi GPU solution and last time I found some real life information about this (it was two 7900 xtx) the result was that performance is the same at best often it is slower. So even if you manage to slap like 8 cheap cards onto motherboard, even if you would somehow make it work (people have problems with such setups), even if this would work continuously without much problems (crashes, power consumption) performance would be just OK.
I am not sure if spending 10k on such setup would be better than buying 10k card with 40gbs of RAM.

I like the take of System Science researchers on this matter -- they say that air/water quality monitoring works exactly because it introduces a feedback loop in the existing system.

Here is a relevant anecodote from Prof. Donella Meadows (who was a major proponent of environemental quality watches):

During the oil embargo and energy crisis of the early 1970s, the Dutch began to pay close attention to their energy use. It was discovered that some of the houses in this subdivision used one-third less electricity than the other houses. No one could explain this. All houses were charged the same price for electricity, all contained similar families.

The difference, it turned out, was in the position of the electric meter. The families with high electricity use were the ones with the meter in the basement, where people rarely saw it. The ones with low use had the meter in the front hall where people passed, the little wheel turning around, adding up the monthly electricity bill many times a day.

Adding a quick, tight feedback loop is often a high-ROI way to change the behavior of goverments (or people in general).
