web iCloud doesn't load for me

I own land and water shares in the Great Basin and can confirm that this is real.

On a more positive note, one random person in the area unexpectedly confirmed that they thought global warming was indeed real.

I think this is one argument for a more progressive income tax (and/or a wealth tax). Sure, a sharply progressive income tax incentivizes work by low income people, but it also reduces the wealth and income of high-income people, indirectly making them and everyone happier.

The paper says at the end:

Unfortunately that URL doesn't work for me; maybe it should point to https://github.com/jumerckx/Tamagoyaki

From https://arxiv.org/abs/1012.1802 we read the following about "equality saturation" which was a new term to me:

> ... We present a new approach for structuring the optimization phase of a compiler. In our approach, optimizations take the form of equality analyses that add equality information to a common intermediate representation. The optimizer works by repeatedly applying these analyses to infer equivalences between program fragments, thus saturating the intermediate representation with equalities. Once saturated, the intermediate representation encodes multiple optimized versions of the input program. At this point, a profitability heuristic picks the final optimized program from the various programs represented in the saturated representation. ...

Fig 18 shows up to a 4x gain, which seems pretty impressive

Moore's law has been ending for roughly 50 years :-)

Now build it into a podcast player. I.e. to skip ads in podcasts.

Adding podcasts is on my TODO so I might :)

I'd first like to see links to research about how much plastic is in coffee in general, and how it impacts health.

there was a thing on hacker news a couple of months ago by a group that measures that... the TLDR is that hot liquids or hot materials against plastic during production does increase micro plastics in food, which makes sense. Obv, we still don't have a full understanding of the health implications.

also, I think the company here is being generous to themselves... mocha pots, and pretty much all pour overs are all plastic-free... they really aren't the first to do plastic-free

I respect this. For me, such apologies are not easy
