Quiet is the black paint in the pallet of the musician and film maker. It’s central to things like stoicism, zen buddhism, existentialism, meditation, and mysticism. Taoism iirc, too.

Be glib, but that is one way for society to bring privacy back-and with it shared respect. I think of it as the “oh everyone has an anus” moment. We all know everyone has one and it doesn’t need to be dragged out in polite company.

Makes me wonder. What would it take for Mac the tech to have this sort of feel/appeal again?

Would a full wintel+nvidia gpu daughterboard move any needles? Or something oddball and hardware like the lamp imac, idk.

Basically, computing nowadays feels very well baked and staid at times. Stuff like a unixy subsystem feels experimental in ways computing hasn't in decades.

The no further regulation option is people looking for the “made in …” on goods and not buying from certain countries. Then invoke Milton freedman.

Uhh how about a desktop tower case that takes in some number of their laptop logic boards and provides networking? Think like the “turingpi” motherboard but with an eye towards repurposing old logic boards.

I could see purposes being local storage HA arrays (small scale media firms), perhaps some computational applications (local testing), k8s. Could be a boon for academics who otherwise might be priced out. Like 2k for the tower, less than 1k (old refurb) to 2k per blade. Might be doing something interesting for around 10k.

I’d say existence precedes essence, and meaning is what the living do. If we make efforts to increase the footprint, robustness, and extent of life then we increase that meaning. (Existentialism, but more.)

I mean the actual kernel. But, you know, needs a killer feature people want to deploy at scale.

I could see that affecting the trapezius muscle or nerve endings somehow. That seems to play a large role in many of my migraines. It probably does for others as it’s part of where the botox for migraine shots go.

Ie when the pain shoots up through/along the side of the traps, along the backside of the ear, to the forehead and back of the eye.

Reminds me of pinching the ear lobes during a migraine. That seemed to sort of help but not terribly.

Nowadays nurtec/the cgrp protein inhibitors work wonders. But I’ll consider the piercings too.

It’s also a scene in the old movie “I heart Huckabees”. Great movie btw.

Feels a little like rdma or mellanox/ib.

Hey, I’d personally love if something openbsd did got it some wider industrial use.

One of the tragedies to me: nuclear and renewable power could absolutely fulfill and surpass our current energy needs. Pick a per annum growth rate of energy production and go.

At some point power becomes so cheap and plentiful that battery size and tech is essentially solved. Industry eventually gets converted to use electricity as the price would drive emissive processes out. And generally allows the economy to produce and do more.

Like at some point you can live essentially anywhere and thus leave the precious wild places undisturbed. Want water in the desert? Build an aqueduct in and do desalination. Similar for places that are too cold/hot/etc to be habitable or productive.

She and her family were hit by a wrong way truck probably going 70 mph. It completely shattered their bodies, lives and shows how precious our moments are.

This almost feels personal to me because of how well written her account is. I’ve had terrible chronic migraines for as long as i can remember. Apparently they can be associated with brain lesions, too. I’ll clearly never know how they’ve impacted my personality.

They remediate certain superfund sites with spinach leaves iirc. And I think it’s bacteria that make nutrients from inorganic sources available for the rest of us (ie rocks).

As for budget, 10M seems pretty great for what reads as a “proof of concept” level effort. You can buy a farm for ~1M and 9M left over. (They won’t do that I imagine but just to illustrate.)

A YTer said it allows the rotary engine to operate in its best circumstances. It’s essentially a range extender while battery tech improves.

They could really only do that as long as zero interest rates and relative wages permitted. Frankly I think they made luxury EVs to justify the battery costs early in the production.

The automotive industry is known for bad margins. Interest rates go up, willingness to pay for large ticket items goes down. We won’t see anything like 0 percent rates for possibly 100 years.

One interesting outcome: near shoring of production drives local labor wages up for the long, permanent term. Maybe more in India/Mexico than the US, but still significant. And better for all than the past.

Because that question is more of an economics research paper or policy brief than a mass media article. And in that arena data are currency, ie largely not public.

Generally, there’s a lot of economics principles at play. Economies of scale mean as more is produced, often, still further increases in production are possible more cheaply than previously obtained. First semi chip produced might cost billions. The billionth chip might be pennies. There’s also a concept in the environmental economics that pulling finite resources out of the ground responds to increasing demand similar to pulling more money out of a bank via loans. Ie the most easy to obtain resources are mined first and the cost increases from there. In practice, too, producer relationships matter. A company buying batteries for EVs (ie at that scale) for their 5th year in a row is going to have demonstrated to their suppliers that, indeed, they can write a check for all the materials they’ve ordered much more than in year 0. So their suppliers have better information about how reliable their needs are, and so on.

Lots of complicated things not generally in the public knowledge nor easy to explain quick enough to not get scooped by another organization.

Yeah, I almost wish I hadn’t asked given the comments. Really points at an interesting mechanism though. Hopefully this means some kind of preventative or even treatment is possible.

What kind of fat is it? Like is it possible to avoid by avoiding too much fat?

Yes, and so much could be addressed and fixed if the US Congress could commit to some acts of representative democracy. Laws could be written, laws could be changed, and many or all the seeming impasses could be legislated away-through acts of representative democracy. Something, something, people should politely write their representatives and otherwise fulfill their civic duties.

These are probably just percentiles to compare. But that’s more data than cnbc is likely to publish.

Unfortunately many congresspeople routinely file such bills only to never get consideration.

Needs a (2017) in the title.

That law reads like a good starting point for the lifetime evolution of matter around a star, but too simple to be expected to capture the full range of possibilities. Probably shouldn’t be used to refute hypotheses.

I’m getting the sense they can be too close to form life, but can form further out with the right planetary characteristics. How often favorable atmospheres form would be interesting.

Taken another way: Venus’ atmosphere would get more “tame” further out. That might make it more conducive to life. But would its atmosphere still form at those distances? (Clearly it’s not impossible.)

Don’t be afraid to wear sunglasses indoors with the lights down/off. Screens actually get darker past turning the brightness to zero by decreasing the sharpness. And be firm about getting up every twenty minutes and looking away from the screen for at least 20 seconds. I still wind up wearing an eye mask on the couch after work many nights.

You have to actually draw in the reader to keep their attention.

Disagreeing responses are the most likely responses on the internet.
