Of course religion should be treated with sarcasm

It singlehandedly has held back the world for centuries, caused the suffering and death of millions if not billions.

It's completely made up, thousands of years before anyone knew anything about anything and then as science is learned the world is bent to its superstitions and not the other way around because it can never ever change because some ignorant dude said so way back when.

The only way religion survives is indoctrination, it makes ZERO sense to anyone who learns to apply the smallest amount of logic to it.

And Christianity might be the very worst of all abrahamic-rooted nonsense because it basically stole all it's practices and beliefs from every other religion at the time.

They didn't have microscopes, telescopes or even eyeglasses but yet not only do they insist on somehow knowing a specific exact god but all the rules and why such an all powerful being would give a damn about anything.

It's control, manipulation and very often a profit seeking scam.

Solmization, I think is maybe what you are looking for? It is where you sing a song using the Solfege (Do/Re/Mi....)?

It's currently estimated that 13 million qubits are required to break 256-bit encryption within 24 hours. Our ability to create a 13 million qubit computer is realistically beyond our 10 year horizon, so we can ignore it. This is the exact opposite of "be very afraid."

I don't think that's really fair here? The comment suggests the hardware doesn't work well without relatively complex software to support it, which seems to be the case on macos. That suggests the software group are keeping up their end at least.

Insulation in California homes depends a lot on where they were built and when. My parents' home in southern california was built in the 1960s, and was pretty much uninsulated, but none of these homes had a/c and the gas heater would be run a few days in the winter. You've got to have a heater to be an inhabitable home by California law, but if it only runs a few days a year, insulation almost doesn't matter. If there's little climate control, not being air sealed is generally a benefit rather than a negative, as it provides passive ventilation, and much of the old housing stock is in areas where the climate is generally pleasant enough all year that outside air is nice enough.

If you've got an attic, it's not too expensive to from zero insulation to basic insulation, and the ROI is pretty quick. Of course, some areas of California had neighborhoods built in the Eichler-style with no attic space; those are hard to add insulation to. A nice large tree over the home can help with summer heat, but large trees over the home have risks and costs too.
You don't think domestic manufacturers will abuse labor and pollute?

The same party that wants to move manufacturing back to the US also wants to deregulate as much as possible, roll back labor rights and repeal environmental laws. The cost of moving manufacturing out of China and to the US is that the few Americans who can get work in a mostly AI driven and automated industry will eventually get treated and paid like Chinese labor.
I would be surprised if Delphi 5 ran without a hitch on Windows 10/11.

On the other hand, I'd also be surprised if the code couldn't be ported as-is, with just some minor tweaks if any, to the latest Delphi release (released this month).

The transition to Unicode strings was a breaking change that did have some impact, but if the code used string manipulation routines instead of direct byte manipulation it should work without any change.

This is an insane story demonstrating extraordinary incompetence, not to mention revealing some rather comical beliefs about American exceptionalism.

It's on the bottom of the third page, pushed down by flags. During any other administration, such a disastrously, criminally incompetent use of technology would have been top of the front page for days, but this administration is so cosmically incompetent that pointing it out is "partisan" now. Everyone is just tired of people commenting on the fact that this criminal bunch of Fox News host miscreants clearly have zero idea what they're doing.

Who do you think will sponsor the Egg roll? They just need to move the Tesla infomercial out of the way, and maybe Trump can feature some of his garbage shitcoin crypto.

Jesus Christ. What a fallen idiocracy.
That's closer to the truth, but to say that all homes have basically zero insulation is just wrong.

Sure but is everything else the same after that? I doubt it.
Companies cut costs to increase their profits, not to pass the cost savings on to customers. If there is price pressure, they may pass on the savings. But at the latest when the market is sufficiently consolidated, they will prefer to keep these savings themselves. And even if this were not the case, there would still be no direct implication of affordability.

Well, from what Trump is saying, it seems that US didn't get the better end of a lot of deals, so it seems that it is spending resources for this peacekeeping but not getting any of the benefits in return..

Sort of!

If you shut your eyes off and you hear footsteps to your right you have a good idea of exactly what you're hearing -- you can probably infer if it's a child or adult, you can possibly infer if they are masculine or feminine shoes, you can even infer formal vs informal attire based on the sound of the shoes (sneakers, sandals, and dress shoes all sound different), and you can locate their angle and distance pretty well. And that's with just your organic 2-microphone array.

I imagine multiple microphones and phase info could do a lot better in accurately placing the objects they hear.

It doesn't need to build an accurate picture of everything, it just needs to be good at imagining the stuff that actually matters, e.g. pedestrians, emergency vehicles. Where the model decides to place a few rustling leaves or what color it imagines a person to be wearing is less relevant than the fact that it decided there is likely a person in some general direction even if they are not visible.

I just think diffusion models are relatively good at coming up with something explainable and plausible for a given condition, when trained on some distribution of data.

Like "oh I hear this, that, and that -- what reality could explain those observations from the distribution of realities that I have seen?"
True, but any researcher worth their salt should also have already known this. And yet, lots of scientists didn't, and I'd bet the same is true for lots of ad execs.
Texas has both less people and lower GDP than California yet emits more. How is that not a bit of a disaster?
I think in practice most papers are too technical to be meaningfully read by people outside the field. I struggle with some CS papers especially depending subfield. I could probably get through this stem cell paper if I had 8 hours and a medical reference dictionary, and it still would probably involve several side quests reading up on related topics and citations before I could meaningfully deliver an opinion. That makes these science reporting sites a necessary evil IMHO.
It doesn't seem nuts, it just seems to miss the point, even ignoring souls. No matter how perfect the copy it'll still be a new instance, and the original meat brain instance of myself will one day fail and that consciousness will cease. A copy may fire up and it may be perfect could be a brand new "me", but the consciousness that is the running instance of me will be no more. There's no escape from that. I don't care about copies of myself running around, I'm not that egotistical to think the world needs more of me, but the eternal dark of death scares me, and duplication does nothing to assuage those fears.

This thinking is a memetic poison created by the exact people that need to be shamed out of the public discourse. I used to agree with it, but seeing how it's been coopted by the bigots, I reject the premise entirely.

No one is calling Christians stupid. The nutjobs that want to tear down our secular society and replace it with a white Evangelical ethnostate are telling Christians that their political rivals are calling them stupid. They're the suckers for the conmen, and at this point, it's not worth attempting to rationalize debate.

Sure, but any safety paradigm that begins and ends with "(people) should/n't x" is a bad safety paradigm across anything enough people do enough of. It's probably easier to compensate for weight differences with a tether or weights than to convince people to spend long periods of time on high alert with low chance of incident.

I can't believe people are using Texas as a positive example of deregulation after they demonstrated quite enthusiastically how broken their system is. A competent electrical system can handle sustained freezing temperatures without massive blackouts. Texas can't. (No, I can't believe they'll do any better next time. There were no market consequences for incompetence.)

While airplanes are catapulted from carriers due to the limited runway length available onboard, it's worth noting that they are fully capable of taking off from standard runways. On the other hand, a glider can only be launched using a catapult or by gliding off a cliff.

Animals do cooperate, a lot and frequently. Including predators like lions. There are solitary animals, but cooperation is not rare.

Animals do help others and try to protect them from harm.

Well sure drywall is technically an insulator, since it's not a thermal or electrical conductor. So is the single pane of glass found on most windows.

Maybe there's some stuff between the drywall and stucco? I never checked because the lead paint on the walls (any of the walls I've lived among; the Bay Area has a lot of old, shit housing) made me wary of drilling holes.
Regulations, of course! Of which there are many for Texas' electricity markets.

IMHO, you can't have markets without regulations, and the markets that work best are those in high-trust societies, and that high-trust usually comes form a solid regulatory structure (i.e. laws).

This is why saying "deregulation is bad" is just as incoherent as saying "regulations are bad." We need to move beyond that sort of fallacious dichotomy.

Every business competing against a juggernaut should start with a business model canvas, value prop canvas, and analysis of the value chain at the bare minimum (not to mention lots of research).

You need to understand what disrupting the value chain and industry norms means and clearly identify how you'll do it. Done right, the incumbent can't respond head on.

The classic example was the budget airline model. Instead of using huge hub and spoke airports they used cheap regional ones. They ruthlessly cut costs through standardisation and pared back their offering to such a degree only other budget airlines could compete. By the time the big boys saw the size of the threat, the newcomers were dominating their niche.

Linkedin won't live forever, but it'll be something that fundamentally makes it's model irrelevant that will replace it (think an actually correct AI vs Google for search). "Better" is just wasting everyone's time.

A little kink in the logic: prop 13 in california. If your folks bought a vacuum shop in 1970 you might be paying no mortgage and that 1970 tax rate today. Making all sorts of otherwise seemingly impossible businesses possible due to severely underpriced overhead relative to other areas.
Engineering excellence has been a part of the Google founding culture, but I think that has been eroding in the past few years ... MBA types are taking over and engineering talent are slowly draining away. I'm just a nobody opining here -- they needed better product leadership than better business leadership. Now that their cash cow (ads on search) is eroding and they don't have a way to make solid products, they're kinda floundering.
> If solar/wind producers had to guarantee power 24x7 at fixed rates the cost would vastly exceed natural gas costs.

I think Texas' market right now is completely disproving that point. The amount of batteries being deployed everywhere are showing that storing solar/wind for a fraction of the day is going to be a lot cheaper than having tons of gas.

> when lead belaying, you need to pay out rope, which means disengaging the auto brake. If you do this buy holding the handle

What the hell are they teaching kids these days. I've NEVER needed to hold the handle on a grigri unless I'm trying to lower something. The correct technique is hold the cam down with your thumb leaving three to four fingers in contact with the rope at all time. The left hand is used to pull rope through the girgri to give rope to the climber, the climber already has to pull up a bunch of rope through a maze of carabiners and don't need the extra work of trying to pull it through a grigri.

Getting reasonable speaker support in Asahi Linux was a big deal. Part of the problem is that limiting the power usage to prevent overheating requires sophisticated DSP. Without that, you get very limited volume output within safe limits.

I don’t know about neurotypical. Maybe “sociopaths only”?
Yes, that is the real conversation.

100% seems delusional to me because you're saying that the company deserves no profit for doing the work of providing you customers to provide value for?

It also seems to ignore the fact that some of the value you're creating is used to pay for the work that enables your value creation. Think about payroll processing, benefits administration, hiring, etc. etc. Those roles provide value as well but don't directly bring in money.

Isn't that part of the tradeoff of working for a company that they take a "fee" for giving you dependable work? You can approach 100% value-capture by working for yourself but there are downsides there as well.

If you have a short daily commute, I recommend considering plug-in hybrids.

I got a PHEV Prius Prime in 2020 and I'm delighted with it. The battery has a range of about 20-25 miles, depending on the weather. My daily commute is about 10 miles each way, so I can make it to work and back without needing gas, and I only need to fill the tank three or four times a year. In my case it works out really well: driving an electric vehicle 95% of the time, and never any range anxiety.

that's not how that works.

writing into memory that doesn't belong to you is memory corruption.
in this case: kernel (induced) memory corruption.

and it's really a bad thing:

functional safety technically boils down to the job of the kernel to provide "spatial and temporal freedom from interference", meaning all subsystems are isolated from each other. no "process" can write to another process, no process can starve another process. in this perspective, the kernel is another (special and privileged) process on the system.

a kernel that randomly writes to user space processes is inherently unsuitable for functional safety.

it's a huge no no. a failure in the goals and purpose of the kernel.

and finding this here specifically was heavily shaking up confidence in formal specifications and formal proofs of compliance to these specs.
