1k chips for $4000 or $7000 at 180nm is (a lot) more expensive than 180nm at MOSIS or Europractice, I wound not call it reasonable, especially because the EDA software tools and PDK used are inferior.

2 servings of rolled oats: 300 calories, 10g protein. Barely any?

I wasn't making that argument. But portable gas stoves exist, I use one for my wok needs.

Mind you this is based on the games (S;G and S;G0) which covers much more than the series and spoiler-y so don't read it if you are yet to play the games.

This is the rub, Bob would not be promoted if he consistently provided unreliable LLM output. In order to get promoted, Bob needs to learn the skills that get reliable output out of an LLM. These may not be the same skills that Alice learns, but if the argument is that Schwartz's LLM output is valuable -- why are we to assume Bob's path isn't towards Schwartz?

If they are to be interchangeable while also being paralleled they have to have very nearly exactly the same reactance or they won't share power evenly and there will be circulating currents between the transformers wasting energy.

Keeping a stock of million dollar items in case one fails once in fifty years is pretty poor use of capital. By the time you get to use it the standards will have changed. And how many different transformers will you keep in stock> You can't reasonably use 500 MVA transformers everywhere, some places only need a 250 MVA unit and might not have space for anything larger. Which voltages will you choose and what will you do with your 500 kV transformer when the backbone gets upgraded to 650 kV or 750 kV or 1 MV?

Do you think that the people who run electricity distribution systems don't think of these things?

There’s no real hatred of farmers on the left, other than the fact that farmers generally vote small-c conservative.

There’s certainly a hatred of land owners, and vast amounts of UK farm land is privately owned, renting the land to farmers. It’s the right wing parties and press that takes that to mean that the left hate farmers.

For all the reasons, but the 1-based index alone makes me uncomfortable.

> Untrained children write better code than the most sophisticated LLMs, without even noticing they're doing anything special.

I’ll take that bet. How much money would you like to put on this, and we’ll have a neutral third party pick both the untrained child and the LLM.

Let me know.

This site needs a no LLM submissions policy too.

ZeroTier. It works well for me. I chose it over Tailscale because it doesn't require a third party for login.

Local municipality power companies put fiber in the ground whenever they put power. The result is fiber almost everywhere at very low cost. Even along rail and major roads.

I think you misunderstood the article, or perhaps didn't read it?

So the way the system works is each house has 4 physical fibers into it, that go into a central office without being aggregated up. Inside the central office any ISP can offer any speed vs price option they want, because they just patch you in at layer 1.

So of course, most people wouldn't necessarily need to get 26Gbit. But if you want to offer it as an ISP you can, and it's up to customers to decide if it's worth the price.

One obvious use case would be folks that work with high resolution video. Uncompressed 8K is about 8TiB per hour of footage. Compressed raw like RED cinema et all are more like 1TiB per hour at the high quality settings.

25Gbit vs 1Gbit for moving 1TiB is 5 minutes vs 2 hours.

A quick google says the 25Gbit service from Init7 is $80 bucks a month.

Sounds like an astoundingly good deal vs what's available in the US to me.

You just googled or asked a chatbot to find you an article and haven't actually read it, have you?

#1 literally says

> For people with healthy kidneys, higher protein intake is generally safe.

#2 addresses the issues of some specific diets ("very-low-carb or ketogenic diets") that "may be low in fiber-rich carbohydrates". I did not advocate for "very-low-carb or ketogenic diets". Also, it doesn't say anything about potential harms of protein itself.

#3 "It Can Crowd Out Other Nutrients"

Again, no mention of supposed "harms of too much protein", only harms of "too little everything else". I never suggested to go crazy and stop eating other foods.

#4 deals with "type of protein" that "may be just as important as the amount of protein" and is irrelevant to your argument.

#5

> A very high-protein diet, particularly one high in animal foods, can increase the risk of kidney stones, especially for people with a history of these conditions or those who don’t drink enough water.

Well, just drink enough water then. Also, I was talking about generally healthy people. I am not qualified to discuss diet choices of people "with a history of these conditions".

#6 "Protein Bars and Powders Can Backfire"

I never suggested any of this. Also, this doesn't address supposed harms of protein itself, so it is irrelevant again.

Explain this to electron haters.

Dyson? Sure - he seems performative (from afar, I'm antipodean to this BTW) with his industrialised strawberry wheels etc.

Lost me .. I'm sure the UK has a few gumbooted millionaire class rockers / composers - I'm guessing that's a throw at the impresario of musical theatre with a life peerage who is rarely seen cutting hay.

I'm not sure I'd class either of those as farmers (by our local understanding), and Clarkson smacks of content farmer cos player more than generationally consistent production farmer .. but perhaps he might get there.

What you're doing is interesting but those are side-projects. I have plenty of random side-projects, just now after reading Gibson's Burning Chrome, I'm making an OpenBSD server where you can only log in using SSH keys in my implant, and logging in makes you a completely new but very restricted user with 1GB of free storage. Kinda like Johnny Mnemonic.

But I feel very disorganized when most of my attention is on distinct one-off side projects, I want to work on something novel and big. But thanks for your suggestions. It is true that most industries begin when passion oriented people finally meet money oriented people, but most time they are separate.

Moving from the current situation to the situation you describe is impossible, because the UK has far too much debt and far too small an annual government income to pay for even the popular kinds of infrastructure spending, let alone the degrowth proposition you articulate. The millionaires really do take their assets and leave if taxes are raised and a Mossad-style international program to repatriate them in duffel bags would see the government that initiated it both out of power permanently and in cells themselves.

Since that article is a response to this one, we'll add a link to it in the toptext above. Thanks!

Unknown to me. My study of kernology is limited to gazing with the naked eye into the higher addresses of 64-bit address space. I have looked there for this great kernel, but have found nothing but the fog of memory protection. I was unable to determine what lurked there and ascribe a date to its conception...

When asked such a question, the adepts of this "Linux" defend a thesis supported by archaeological expeditions which revealed the year of the oldest known mailing list scroll bearing that name: 1991. However, although it is heresy, I do know of the existence of an even older sect of powerful and wise sorcerers whose numerology includes the number you mention. They profess that this "Linux" was not the first. They speak of an age long forgotten where new kernel universes were not only routinely birthed from scratch but also diverged from one another, an age they call the Epoch. They say these galaxies exist out there to this day, unobservable to us, hidden away in corporate mainframes in lands far, far away...

I have a gentle rule, which is "if you can do it in one place, it is probably possible to do it in a second". The Swiss are not a separate species.

Why don't they have any decent external cameras absolutely goofy (or maybe they do and I am goofy?) also, framing!

Same reason all the other mario flash games haven't, not a critical enough mass.

So there’s a kind of filter in your kidneys that handles protein. Over a lifetime that gets worn out. Once it is perforated by too much protein, or if there was a problem with it, very bad things start to happen.

Having too much protein, especially the amount pushed by certain industries here in the United States, is maybe not healthy, no.
