If you want your sort to replace the one in the stdlib I imagine you have to adhere to the strict rules.

These are college students taking the same course, so the effects you hint at are reduced compared to getting a sample from the general population.

That's fine, selecting a beautiful location takes a certain amount of skill. Not as much as designing a beautiful building, but still. The issue is that this approach doesn't scale. We can't all live in a forest on top of a r

This is a good test to apply to architectural styles. People often cite Fallingwater ( https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bc/Fallingw... ) as a triumph of modern architecture. In my view, it

Would you want to stay there again if they triple charge you and do not want to fix it? That's called theft. Would you want to work with a business that is nonchalant about stealing from you? I bet the hotel would not be so nonchalant

It's not clear that even a super smart compiler can do this. The best schedule depends on the latency of instructions. This is a problem because we can't know statically whether a particular memory load is in L1/L2/L3&#x

Nice slides! Of course, I should have asked whether it's on the pareto frontier. By the way, the author of pdqsort has a new sorting algorithm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y3IK1l6PI4

Great paper. Is that the fastest sort right now?

Except that persons C, who control the instances where many interesting people are, have banned instances run by people who are not like the Cs. Furthermore, I don't even want to bother with all this stuff, playing detective trying to

His mastodon account has also been suspended on the server I'm on. Ugh, what is it with person C deciding that person B is not allowed to see what person A says. I dislike human nature sometimes. Or at least the personality type that i

The battery price graph tells a different story. Improvements have been slowing down for a long time, and have been almost zero the past couple of years and we've actually had a price increase this year. Switching to an entirely new te

Measuring cost by installed capacity is highly misleading because solar and wind need storage to be reliable sources. The cost of storage dwarfs the other costs, and battery prices have stagnated.

I haven't read this book, but I do try to mention a person's name. Not because of them, but because otherwise I will have forgotten their name in 2 minutes.

When eating a dish, I can usually identify the ingredients and spices by flavour, but different wines taste more or less the same to me. Some taste different, but I can't say that they taste significantly better than others. Spending

There are (short) computer programs where you input a mathematical proposition and a proof in a kind of proof programming language, and the program will then check if it's a valid proof. Saying that mathematical truth is a social const

I once simply pointed out how an equation in a climate science paper didn't make sense because there was a unit error (there was exp(x) where x was not unitless) => removed.

What's the advantage of being distributed?

Well, they apparently did donate to some woke-adjacent pseudoscience, which seems like a waste of money to me. Regardless, I agree with you that the question isn't where some $0.25 million went, but why they are spending $100 million a

That's magical thinking. Let's start with the obvious question: what kind of storage would that be? Remember, your argument against nuclear was price. Have you run the napkin math on your preferred choice of storage?

by jules 4y ago
Yes, this argument gets repeated again and again and again, and when you ask about storage you never get a decent answer. And yet, the argument keeps getting repeated even by people who matter and make the decisions. When I started watching

That is not true. Wind output is highly correlated across the continent. Days in which wind output is very low happen regularly. In fact, every couple of years there is an entire week like that.

The advantage of nuclear is that it will work almost certainly, albeit possibly at a high cost. We should continue to invest into wind and solar where that makes economic sense. On the off chance that a magic energy storage technology comes
