I tried Asahi on my older M1 macbook and the battery life is still very bad. I am pretty experienced trying to dive into CPU schedulers and kernel settings, etc. to try and fix it, but I was unable to squeeze more than about 3 hours of battery out of the laptop WHILE CLOSED! In contrast just booting up mac os the battery lasts about 36 hours+ while closed.

I don't see how it being Canadian is relevant. First off Canada is part of North America and North America is big geographically. We have similar car culture compared to USA. There are very large subsidies given to battery manufacturing sector in Canada amounting to $43.6 billion over 10 years as part of the latest budget.

No because USA's central bank is raising rates as well. Only when the policies differ do the currencies move. So Yen seems to have been falling for awhile since their central bank lagged USA. It would probably be a poor choice to dump USD for Yen IMO.

We could let the market set interest rates but they would be much higher. Banks would be very unhappy since they have loaded up on the rock bottom rates. You'd see many banks go under similar to SV bank. This is a world economy and they are all somewhat aligned on their interest rate policies. Those that don't fall in line will see a currency repricing (and some like Japan want that to some extent).

It seems small, until you try to download it.

Not sure where the quote is from but inflation is still above the target of 2% (by traditional measures) so is that not considered high?

Sure! Salaries are what people use to exchange money for goods and services that these companies produce in theory. But the free money environment we've lived in the last decade seems to have primed companies to think that operating at a loss is okay. If we just fire the workers, and sales lag and dip, its okay because it will force the fed to lower rates and we can just borrow our way back to the top with no sales!

Imagine though... an AI startup that just trades goods between AIs. We should actually start firing customers!

Makes sense I wasn't thinking about the full on laundering aspects. But even so, if the real estate is used in laundering, it will eventually have to be sold to get back clean money. This should still run up prices at the start, and run them down in the end. So I think the majority of the point still stands: there should be an uptick in sales (which there is not). They could be speculating on top of laundering, in which case they are taking some losses. We are -20% from peak. The time will come when they (the launderers) will need liquidity and sell which has not come. Will it ever come?

All sounds very plausible, but where are the effects of this? We should be seeing many people holding mortgages at HSBC not able to pay. Are there no public stats showing how many lack of payments being made to HSBC? Is HSBC going to hold on to these properties taking massive losses? For how long? It has definitely helped the run up of prices here. It will also help the collapse of prices as well, either that or the collapse of HSBC. Maybe the effects take a very long time to manifest. Lets hope it's not too long :)

The price of a bitcoin sets an upper bound on consumption of energy where the miner will be in a place that is no longer profitable since energy costs money. On top of this, miners have no upward way to influence the price of bitcoin, only downward (selling of coins, or destruction of trust).

If we just properly externalized the cost of CO2 emissions it solves this problem along with many others. So why don't we do that?

What I've found in reality is that machine learning is 99% data cleaning scripts and 1% the part you're talking about. I've also seen the heavy duty statistics people writing data cleaning python scripts which probably leads to a lot of frustrations :)

Is there a simple diagram app / site / etc. that uses this? I love the look.I'd love to diagram things using it. Love the fill types which could be great for accessibility.

I believe it supports pwas fully. Click ... Menu and click "add to home screen"

I think you will find openexr surprisingly well supported across many platforms.
