No publication gives me more hope that we (people!) can make the world better and fairer and kinder than Hamilton's newsletter.

UK households to be urged to use more power this summer as renewables soar Incentives to absorb surplus wind and solar energy could help balance the grid and lower bills

It's easy to forget that most people don't know that power will be free (or even sometimes negatively priced) when it's very sunny.

I have also been arguing with the China team about what a power market even means.

this is called a @dfn{cross}.  If build, host, and target are all

If you've never listened to The Bugle before this would be a fantastic place to start. Not only are @zaltzcricket.bsky.social, @alicefraser.bsky.social and @natogreen.bsky.social
as funny and intelligent as ever, but hearing Nato talk about finding hope in the world was wonderful and very moving.

A powerful man sexually pursuing a young woman who works for him is oppressive. It immediately limits and reshapes her future to her detriment, whether she is physically forced into it or not. It’s coercion either way, and that is why it’s so wrong. It’s an abuse of power.

just, there's a wide variety of mature tech behind blogs. the set of people that will update to e.g. web callbacks is very small, seems to me

i guess i see the... omg i am going to use an old word... the ✨blogoverse✨ as not something that can be fundamentally changed. to me, anything that adds new requirements on blogs is not going to work

i think if one were to make another technorati, a quarter-century on, one would use rss + bsky / atmosphere. rss (still) to grab article text and links within posts, atmosphere to find inbound links

so, most people are aware, but if not: to say someone is "low iq" is to say they are a good candidate for eugenic elimination. it's usually but not always racist ("the bell curve" etc). it has no place in a humanist repertoire

Inside Hungary’s Election Meltdown If you have Hungarian friends, check in on them. These past few weeks have been bonkers.

If you have Hungarian friends, please check in on them. Netflix has nothing on this election campaign: a twisting spy scandal, Russian meddling, Orbán off the rails. And we still have four days left.

I wrote a (still slightly incredulous) rundown 👇

but br_table is still :
void *target = targets[operand]
goto *target
only difference with return_call_indirect is jump-table is usually pc-relative;
type check is a thing tho

if you know the set of possible callees, one could devirtualize (either on wasm producer or runtime) into one function plus switch; but you don't gain anything afaics

why surprised? a tail call is a goto with arguments, hopefully register-allocated. a wasm implementation can do no better job at register allocation than a (potentially non-standard) call ABI afaics.

"Croesus then asked if he should make war on the Persians and if he should take to himself any allied force. The oracles to whom he sent this question included those at Delphi and Thebes. Both oracles gave the same response, that if Croesus made war on the Persians he would destroy a mighty empire."

The machines are fine. I'm worried about us. On AI agents, grunt work, and the part of science that isn't replaceable.
