URLs Set in Stone

URLs Set in Stone 01/05/2005 01:19 AM

I've often wondered whether or not you should change blog posts once they're published. While I often do just because I'm anal, part of me thinks that a blog post is a historical record and should be frozen in time.

It's sort of that way for the titles of posts on Gadgetopia since they're used for the URL. For instance, I screwed up the title of this post (it should be "ALT Attributes," not "ALT tags"), but I can't change it because that would change the URL. I'd have to put in a redirect because it gets a lot of traffic.

As annoying as it is on the surface, there's something...pure in this that I like. The title of this entry is frozen in time. It is how it was originally published. Just like a newspaper publisher can't take something back once it hits the newstand, I can't change this title.

This get me to thinking that it would be an interesting...expirement, to MD5 has hthe entire body of an entry and use the result as the URL. This means that you couldn't change one single character of the entry after it was published without completely changing the URL.

I find this idea intriguing. Not enough to try it, mind you, but stil interesting to consider.

The Stone Supercomputer

The Stone Supercomputer 12/24/2004 12:57 PM

The Stone SouperComputer: Who says your cluster has to be expensive? When it was running, this cluster at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory had 133 nodes in it, most 486s with 32MB RAM and 10 MB/s Ethernet cards.

While our first Beowulf-style parallel computer isn't built out of the most impressive hardware, we got tired of fighting for funding and went ahead with what we could find. Much like the classic Tale of Stone Soup, many individuals contributed to the existing machine*. Because of a complete lack of funding, we used surplus personal computers donated by individuals from ORNL, the Procurement Dept., Y-12, and K-25, to build a parallel computer system which uses public domain compilers and message passing libraries. This system was built at literally no cost.

This was back in the late 90s, so 66MHz wasn't that slow. Still, pretty darn slow.

Peak oil article in Rolling Stone

Peak oil article in Rolling Stone 04/13/2005 10:49 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: I've been reading a lot about Peak Oil, which refers to the year at which oil production hits the peak of a bell curve, and after which oil production goes down, tapering to zero.

There's some argument about the year of the peak, but pretty much everyone agrees -- including the US government -- that the peak is fewer than a couple of decades away. A lot of experts says we've already hit the peak. James Howard Kunstler's piece in Rolling Stone, called "The Long Emergency," argues that the US hit its peak decades ago:

The United States passed its own oil peak -- about 11 million barrels a day -- in 1970, and since then production has dropped steadily. In 2004 it ran just above 5 million barrels a day (we get a tad more from natural-gas condensates). Yet we consume roughly 20 million barrels a day now. That means we have to import about two-thirds of our oil, and the ratio will continue to worsen.

The U.S. peak in 1970 brought on a portentous change in geoeconomic power. Within a few years, foreign producers, chiefly OPEC, were setting the price of oil, and this in turn led to the oil crises of the 1970s. In response, frantic development of non-OPEC oil, especially the North Sea fields of England and Norway, essentially saved the West's ass for about two decades. Since 1999, these fields have entered depletion. Meanwhile, worldwide discovery of new oil has steadily declined to insignificant levels in 2003 and 2004.

I think its inevitable that we are going to go nuclear. There's really no other way to deal with the fact that the world is hopelessly dependent on cheap energy. Fortunately, new nuclear power technologies like pebble bed reactors are much safer than the nuke plants of old. (Here's a good article about pebble bed reactors, written by Spencer Reiss in Wired. Here's a Wired article by Peter Schwartz and Spencer Reiss about "gr een" nuke plants. And here's another pro-nuke article that David noted a while back, written by Stewart Brand.) Link to Rolling Stone story (Thanks, Brian!)

Reader comment: Alex Steffan at WorldChanging says "you might be interested in reading these:"

The Post-Oil Megacity (why I think Kunstler's wrong on the implications of the end of cheap oil)

The best counter-argum ent to nuclear as climate-change-solution I've yet read:

and my favorite take on the issue

why the Europeans, especially the Germans, are kickin' our butt on renewables

and why better computing (in the form of "smart grids") is part of the answer

Reader comment: Brian Carnell says: "I like nuclear power plants as much as the next guy, but the chart here shows the real reason oil discoveries have leveled off -- until recently, we had an almost two decade collapse in oil prices.

"The late 1990s saw the lowest prices for oil *EVER*. That doesn't create much incentive to find new oil deposits (just as few people were interested in exploiting the North Seas until oil went through the roof in the 1970s.)

"If these oil prices continue, they'll almost certainly spur another round of intensive oil exploration and exploitation that will once again find yet more oil." Link

UPDATE: Here's another interesting article about Peak Oil.

Colin Campbell of the Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas (ASPO) predicts that production will begin its decline between now and 2010.

British Petroleum exploration consultant Francis Harper believes it will happen between 2010 and 2020. Consulting firm PFC Energy puts it at around 2010 to 2015. The publication Petroleum Review predicts that demand will outstrip supply in 2007. Richard Heinberg, author of the 2003 book, The Party's Over: Oil, War, and the Fate of Industrial Societies, expects a peak in 2007 or 2008.

Retired Princeton professor Kenneth Deffeyes, author of the just-published, Beyond Oil: The View from Hubbert's Peak is more pessimistic, and more specific, about when the peak will happen: Thanksgiving Day, 2005. (His tongue appears to be in his cheek regarding the day, but not the year).

If all that is too gloomy for you, energy consultant Michael Lynch maintains that there's no peak in sight for "the next 20 or 30 years." Peter Odell of Erasmus University in the Netherlands has tacked a full 30 years onto Deffeyes' grim prediction, setting a date of Thanksgiving 2035. And Uncle Sam has the cheeriest news of all: a peak year of 2037 forecast by the Department of Energy.

Rolling Stone: The Curse of Dick Cheney

Rolling Stone: The Curse of Dick Cheney 09/08/2004 10:46 AM
Mark Frauenfelder: "D" sez: This profile of Cheney is frightening. The only hope it offers is that every President to have Cheney involved in its adminitration has failed to be re-elected.

I knew the guy was bad, but if all the allegations in this article are true, he's singlehandedly hamstrung all the offices of the military and intelligence in the US:

Over at Defense, competent intelligence professionals were purged in order to ease the way to war. Douglas Feith, brought in under Rumsfeld to serve as undersecretary of defense for policy, applied an ideological test to his staff: He didn't want competence; he wanted fervor. Col. Pat Lang, a Middle East expert who served under five presidents, Republican and Democratic, in key posts in military intelligence, recalls being considered for a job at the Pentagon. During the job interview, Feith scanned Lang's impressive resume. "I see you speak Arabic," Feith said. When Lang nodded, Feith said, "Too bad," and dismissed him.
