“what”?

When have quants ever used good decision making as a basis for their trading? Saying you use AI brings in investors, that’s good enough for quant funds.

This is a gang war between rivaling drug gangs. Sweden has a serious gang problem and also the highest rate of drug deaths in all of Europe. Something needs to be done.

There have been some good progress recently in resolving murder cases, (which is the most effective way to reduce gang killings), but unfortunately most of the political effort in this area has been to increase jail times and blame immigrants. There are also concerns that the new legal system reforms weaken civil rights protections beyond their gang-combatting purpose. The association by politicians and voters of reducing immigration with combating gangs is inaccurate and unfortunate, as while most of the foot soldiers have immigrant parents, they are often still Swedish citizens, just from a poor, segregated neighborhood. There is not much public discourse on whether the capos and leaders are immigrant, Muslim, etc.

Sweden is very much still clinging to a imagined victory in the war on drugs. In Sweden, having drugs in the bloodstream is punishable with prison, and all Swedish parties in parliament are strictly against drug legalization. In line with solidarity culture, drug users are blamed for financially supporting gang violence.

Sure, but you can also rip off electrons from atoms by rubbing them or bending a piece of wire. The energy needed to trigger fission in uranium is less than a picojoule, it just needs to be focused enough to knock away the part of the atom, which is why neutrons are the most common way.

Here is a chart with the rate of fusion for two hydrogen atoms at various temperatures.

This chart bottoms out at a few million degrees, since the probability is extremely low.

Sure, but people probably don’t expect ram slots on a smart watch. Just a replaceable screen, housing, mobo, dials, and battery would do a lot.

Right, that’s probably true. Video encoding hardware and storage is incredibly cheap, but we get talks from netflix engineers where they’re talking about how they’re limited by dram bandwidth on their servers.

Some napkin math:

Youtube has ~7M average concurrent viewers.

https://streamscharts.com/overview?platform=youtube

A 1080p av1 stream is roughly 2-3mbits, maybe 5mbits for 60fps. You could serve all of those users with 14tbps of bandwidth, then.

Stockholm peering pricing for 14tbps (rough ballpark at this scale tbf) over 43x 400gbit ports at a Stockholm Internet eXchange, would cost about 240k EUR/month, with a 25% volume discount.

For comparison, Mastodon’s monthly donations are about 30k EUR/month, and lemmy.world receives about 2k EUR/month.

Super rough calculations, but there’s probably enough of a base in the fediverse for us to take over like 5% of Youtube’s viewer base, funded through donations. Not as cheap as wikipedia, but still doable with a committed open-source community. Beyond that, and a netflix/spotify/nebula subscription model would allow to fund further market share.

It’s notable to see though that Nebula seems to have millions in monthly revenue, but only about 700k subscribers (aka barely 100k concurrent streams). However I believe the majority of their expenses are going towards their creators and towards marketing for future growth.

But yeah, I think network effect is a bigger barrier than cost here.

The fact that they can do expensive, on-the-fly video processing like this, and still make a profit, proves that video hosting costs are not an insurmountable barrier for the open-source internet. We need to make hardware accelerated peertube ubiquitous, and get creators to move over.

Ideally busses would be cheaper/subsidized, but driving for recreation is valid. Carpool if you can.

Maverick is not a car, it’s a two-ton truck that uses 3.8gal/100 MI. Also, there’s insurance and maintenance to worry about.

I think suburb in English can mean nearby cities, too. For example, Alexandria, Virginia is a suburb of Washington, DC.

Ukraine is not attacking civilian infrastructure, what you’re describing are war crimes. This is not what the debate over long range missiles is about.

Here is a recent video from William Spaniel about the debate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM0ZTEz7Bzc

19% interest rates is a crisis.

At the same time, you have many people on Lemmy that parrot Putin’s line that every pro-democracy protest in the world is just some plot by the CIA and should be suppressed.

1. Not from the article
2. Not related to the civil rights discussion raised by the article
3. No source for this quote
4. Cherrypicking one-sided events from a conflict that lasted almost an entire year
5. Russian propaganda blaming the National Endowment for Democracy (sub: CIA) for all protests worldwide
6. Misinformation claiming that subway stations were set on fire
7. Misinformation claiming that protesters deliberately attacked the man who was killed by a falling brick

This doesn’t contribute to the discussion.
