>Compare to Santa Clara, which has their own well run utility, and charges less than half PG&E rates.

This. Lived in Santa Clara. SVP is the best utility in California.

We don't need a VAT. Taxes on consumption are insanely regressive.

Put a tax on the value of land instead of the property improvements. Then you'll start to see some wealth flow away from the UHNWIs.

Yep. Take every seat, make it 15 seats. Ideally we’d have ranked choice and STV. Something like how Australia has a quota system for Senators being elected. People who achieve 1/16th of the votes get a seat, distribute preferences, repeat until all seats are full.

The problem is that open codecs can still be encumbered by patents and the holders will sue. VP9 and AV1 have their own patent pool for that very reason. Google may have open sourced its codecs but if they don’t indemnify users people who think they’re safe might be in for a bad time.

The electorate does give control but they get bored after a few years and want to wreck everything all over again. It's goldfish levels of political memory in this country.

Getting pristine resampling is insanely expensive and not worth it.

If you have a mixer at 48KHz you'll get minor quantization noise but if it's compressed already it's not going to do any more damage than compression already has.

And we learned zero from the change after shutting down the Purdues. The electorate just wants to see drug users punished, not treated. Even though treating cheaper, more humane, and has way better outcomes.

Given that xAI only has a few billion in cash on hand? Very fucking low. It'd bankrupt Elon before reaching that stage though.

It's a wonderful day on the Internet. A beautiful day for a CVSS 10 exploit!

Fuck him and people like him. There's no good reason to have a 70 hour work week other than insecure management needing it as a security blanket like some nine year old child. Researchers keep showing how human beings have a maximum productive time each week but instead he and his ilk want to go against this research for the sheer optics of it.

Errors work just like exceptions especially if you use the ? operator and let the error bubble up the chain. This is the Rust equivalent of an unhandled exception and the ripcord being pulled.

Probably because our desire to help and not let down a person we care about gives us courage. That courage serves as motivation to go outside our comfort zone.

> The mod injects only in the process Winlogon.exe, and exits once the handle of the memory area is closed. It does not hook any functions.

Yep. Sure. Going to let a Russian utility fuck with winlogon.exe. Excellent idea.

^ This. I'm waiting for an LLM where I can just point it to a repo, slurp it up, and let me ask questions about it.

Normally this would be handled by a wider synchronized network. The EU has a continent wide synchronized network and the UK isn’t part of it.

There are also other ways to store energy. For polar regions sand batteries are capable of storing heat for months. High grade heat to the point they can siphon off that heat for power generation.

>But you cannot use this anywhere where the ultrasound would be blocked by other organs.

Yes you can. If you had an array of ultrasonic transducers around the body you could have each of them in phase targeting a single spot. Beamforming is a thing we've been doing for years with RF. It's even more trivial with sound.

GPUs are literal SIMD devices. Usually 32 or 64 ALU lanes.

Need to go Apple style where the AES engine is on die. Only the AES engine and the Secure Enclave know the decryption keys. The CPU doesn't know the decryption key. Nothing is sent in clear text over the bus.

For me it's because I learned Ada in college.

18 year old me couldn't appreciate how beautiful a language it is but in my 40s I finally do.

> The ability to make number types that were limited in their range is really useful for certain classes of bugs.

Yes! I would kill to get Ada's number range feature in Rust!
