A whole makerspace and you want to get one 3d-printer? That will prevent someone from using it most of the time, printing is slow. And whenever you have a tiny issue, you have 0 machining capability until it is fixed.

I recommend to get 3-6 of an affordable printer instead. For example Original Prusa if you can afford it, else Ender 3.
This way you can have long production jobs, quick experimentation and teaching someone new to use the printers at the same time.
And you can keep one set of spares shared for all your machines.

If you have money left over, start saving for a small CNC and a CO2 laser.

Your study is based on a land value of $2 million per acre.

My first Google result shows that Manhattan is, at its most expensive, $90 million per acre: https://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/05/13/2100-a-square-...

This matches my intuition that cars are much more massively subsidized in city centers (where they should be heavily discouraged) than in suburbs (where they're mostly fine).

I also think roads have way higher value than other land, because they connect spaces. Think of it this way: you can build 99% of a wall, and I can still cross from one side to the other, but if you build 100% of a wall, I can't. So that last 1% of a wall has significantly higher externality cost than the first 99% of a wall.

Similarly, the existence of a road makes it impossible to cross a street without waiting. It's the last 1% of the land necessary for going from one part of a city to another, and so it's way more valuable than the price per acre would suggest.

Your study also doesn't include infrastructure costs, and also costs in inconvenience to pedestrians.

Your study also estimates congestion cost based on the assumption that 10% of travel is under congested conditions, but in Manhattan this is closer to 100%.

All your study's costs are conservative estimates.

In conclusion, I completely agree with the overall conclusion that car usage in most of the US has relatively low externality costs. I just massively disagree that car usage in a superdense city center like Manhattan also has relatively low externality costs.

Same. And I spent 10 years at a company where my job, literally, was new small projects, every 6-12 months, often radically different platforms and technologies, where I had to "come up to speed". (has it's plusses and minuses - you learn a lot of breadth, not a lot of depth). But interviewing for me, has been a very frustrating experience. When I did land a spot, they were desperate, as it turns out. And in interviewing and making hiring decisions for my team; I've had to make these same types of judgment calls. I look for candidates who have enough experience that I know they're not bullshitting. And I look for a work history that shows a progression of continually taking on new skills and roles. Because that's what this job really is. Anyone who's been doing this in the real world for at least 10 years knows this. But it's really puzzling to me how so many hiring managers at so many places just don't seem to understand this.
Bit of a toy really but the effort is appreciated :). As far as I can see you're only showing memory usage (which I'm not sure qualifies as 'utilisation') while `nvidia-smi` also returns the processor utilisation and temp. Perhaps it'd be worth including those.
The entire argument is flawed, as it doesn't actually prove anything at all. Here is the full argument, with all assumptions explicit:

Assume properties 'consciousness' and 'intelligence' exist. I'm not going to define them because I can't. Assume that a human has these properties. Now I demonstrate that a machine can't have these properties, since they were never actually defined. Since by assumption a human has them, a human has intelligence and a machine not.

The type of ideas that can lead to this reasoning are the same of the people who rejected evolution as thinking that man could never have descended from monkeys. The only think the argument proves is the close-mindedness of its author.

They're not the same thing. That De Buyer is thin carbon steel, not cast iron. I have one (an identical Paderno actually) and it's by far my favorite pan for crepes, but it sucks for everything else. It's no good for searing because it lacks the necessary heat capacity, and the thin steel causes hot spots even worse than cast iron.

Deeper carbon steel pans are great for stir frying, but I have yet to find another use for very shallow carbon steel skillets.

Note that Lodge makes skillets that it calls "carbon steel" which are actually just especially thin cast iron, and I love these. They are thick enough to perform like cast iron, but much lighter. I have 10 and 12 inch skillets (Lodge model numbers CRS10 and CRS12), and they're my go-to skillets for almost everything: pancakes, omelets and fried eggs, sauteing, and shallow frying. The only thing I don't use cast iron for is scrambled eggs.

EDIT:

Nope, nevermind, I'm wrong. I just checked my pans, and my Lodge thin cast iron skillets are the same thickness as those Mineral B pans -- 2.5mm. My crepe pan is thinner. So you're right, those De Buyer pans probably are excellent replacements for cast iron -- lighter, cheaper, similar performance.

EDIT 2:

Damn you batbomb, now I have to go shopping for pans. Restaurant supply store you say? Maybe ebay?

If the article is correct that water will become more valuable than oil, then of course you're gonna ship that water to California. The economics will mandate it.

Except for the fact they haven't been building new factories overseas, their' reports to their investors points to automation, and they shut down many of their overseas factory. Maybe they are doing this in expectation of a slowdown and will move production overseas, but currently, they have done that.

You can look at their capital expenditure though. All of their M&A, research, and investment have been in electric cars and automation.

If there weren't going for this goal they are going about it in a strange way.

"The projects" as a phenomenon are the inevitable result of concentrated poverty and the usually awful design choices that go with public housing.

Public housing should be mixed into other neighborhoods, or (as my city does) developers should be incentivized to operate a certain percentage of subsidized low-cost housing in otherwise normal apartments.
Ok, but it's more accurate than the spedometer in my higher end car, which seems to be off by about 4.6mph lol. I was always wondering why those speed radar things on the side of the road that tell how fast you are going (usually in residential neighborhoods) were consistently showing me going about 5mpg slower than my car was indicating until I checked with my phone gps. So, I was consistently going about 5 mph under the posted speed limit because apparently BMW can't make a decent speedometer gauge!

The fuel gauge in my dads pickup is also really whacked. Once it hits about 50% fuel left, it rapidly goes down to 0. Cars don't burn though higher rates of fuel just because of how much is in the tank.

Building an LLVM-Based Tool. Lessons Learned
I was considering picking up a new Air, as i actually quite like the feel of the keyboard in it too - however even the demonstration laptop I tested typing on in an Apple store was suffering from the keyboard issues others have described (double spaces, missing letters etc).

Yes this computer is likely an extreme case - on account of the environment it sits and the volume of people that will touch and use the thing daily. But it doesn't say to me that this is of even satisfactory quality, nevermind good quality.
The Chinese Room is a reductio against Strong AI. Strong AI is the idea that a program that programme that is able, for example, to converse in Chinese thereby understands Chinese. The Room, if successful, drives a wedge between "acting as if one knows Chinese" and "understanding Chinese". This may be applied to the any number of programs. But with such a wedge, we do not actually have Strong AI—the appearance of intelligence (grounded in syntax) is different from actual intelligence (presumably grounded in semantics).

In other words, assume strong AI. Strong AI implies machines have understanding. But the Chinese Room argues machines can never have understanding. So, strong AI is not possible.

In the background is Turing's attempt to provide an account of intelligence. Turing skirts the issue in his famous paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence"[1]: instead of defining intelligence, Turing proposes a test. But the Chinese Room argues that even if we had a machine pass this test, we would not thereby be bound to say that the machine was intelligent.

Because other historical famines and atrocities don’t seem to yield the same outcome, and because it’s really just tacking a current fad onto the story without anything like evidence. After all, “it’s possible” covers such a huge variety of possibilities that it’s meaningless without statements of likelihood. It is after all possible that I’m an advanced AI, or that your mouse will tunnel a meter to the left. It’s more likely though that I’m just some guy, and your mouse fell off the table.

I appreciate the motivation but it's very naive.

Sure, you give them access after 1 month. Next they'll say 1 month is too long, they need to be able to do it within hours to be able to catch criminals before they run to another city. Then it'll be minutes so they can stop crimes while they're happening. Then it'll be real-time on everyone so they can use machine learning to predict crimes minutes before they happen.

They would still have done, and more. You think police and intelligence agencies will one day just say "yeah, that's enough, we're good"? No, they'll want anything that makes their job easier and gives them more power, always.
F in FOSDEM stands for free. In my eyes, one of FOSDEM's goals is to legitimize FLOSS software for any software use-case.

Also in my eyes, lack of professionalism (or the intent of improve) undermines legitimization efforts.

Thus, with all the respect to those who really care about the volunteering, I don't think it's a legit excuse to repeat "but it's free!"

And don't forget, after all for us: It's not free. I, and many of the attendees paid heavy €s to fly there, book accommodation, eat out, etc. I don't mind to invest into going to conferences, networking, meetups, like OpenStack summit, kubecon/dockercon, Google cloud summit, react confs etc. However...

FOSDEM in it's current format is best consumed from your couch at home, following the live online streams. And one of the reasons for this apparently is that FOSDEM is unfortunately "free".

Somehow people managed to vote and have bank accounts before ID cards were common.

The UK wants a National Insurance number to register to vote. https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote

UK residents are sent a National Insurance number automatically just before their 16th birthday. https://www.gov.uk/apply-national-insurance-number

Pulling up an arbitrary UK bank, https://www.tsb.co.uk/current-accounts/faqs/identity/ shows many options to establish identity, including ones that don't require an identification card. Those under 18, for example, can use a National Insurance card or letter.

I don't know what domestic flights are like in the UK. From what I can tell, it's left to the airlines. Most (? all?) require some sort of id, and different airlines accept different forms. For example, FlyBe allows "Council issued bus pass" and "NUS card (National Union of Students)" and "Company ID card of nationally recognised company" - https://www.flybe.com/check-in/id-requirements .

In some countries (I'm thinking Australia, based on a podcast I listened to from a couple of years ago), domestic check-in is all automated and does not always require an id check. https://www.jetstar.com/au/en/help/articles/travel-identific... says "If you’re travelling with checked baggage on a domestic flight in New Zealand, you must provide ID." "Accepted ID types" include "Original or certified copy of a birth certificate", so "ID" is pretty broad.

Something like 17 states in the US don't require any form of id to vote - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_ID_laws_in_the_United_St... - so this isn't unique to the UK.

To point out, voter impersonation - the sort of fraud which ID cards might solve - are very rare. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_impersonation_(United_St... . The vote is private, so if there was an organized system it's difficult to verify that the vote actually went the correct way. It requires a lot of people in order to sway an election, and that sort of organization has a higher chance of being detected. The list of people who voted is public, so it's also possible to track down if they actually exist, and there's the risk that a impersonator will try to impersonate someone who actually voted.

If it's important to know who someone is, then it can sometimes be solve by using a chain of trust. For example, the bank might require that a current account holder in good standing be willing to vouch for me, even if I have no id. Or, I might deposit a lot of money but have limited abilities until the bank trust me more.

Regarding the UK, see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polls_on_the_British_n... .

The article clearly states the farmers are competing for groundwater using increasingly deep (expensive) wells for irrigation.
yes. in CA it's both river and ground water. all the wells have resulted in seriously depleted aquifers in the Central Valley and the ground has literally sunk in places.

So, two honest questions:

- Is there evidence that they would be less safe than makeshift homeless communities? My instinct would be to assume that homeless people in California are already congregating somewhere, and that those areas have increased crime risks. Does public/low-income housing make it worse than the current situation already is?

- Should we weigh the overall loss in safety for middle-income residents against the overall safety of poorer or homeless residents? My instinct is to say that the homeless population in California is part of its constituency, and that their needs should be considered equally with middle/upper income residents. Suppose overall crime in an area is increased, but the area simultaneously becomes safer for the homeless population itself. Is there a ratio between those changes where we would say, "it's worth the increased crime."?

> So for each tax dollar that enters, more than one dollar of resources is spent.

That is true; which imposes an interesting upper bound on army size before the economy collapses.

> In the UBI's case, this is not true

A UBI is exactly the same, except that the resource burn is smaller than employing someone in the army because instead of being guarenteed to waste a soldiers time there is only potential to waste a citizens time, which is an improvement.

> the State is just taking away the decision on which resources to spend it on from one group ... to another

Yes. Group 1 is the group that will decide to create more resources with what they are given and Group 2 are consumers. We know that is true in practice, because if it wasn't a UBI would be pointless.

> If you give part of your paycheck to another person, the resources accounting is still net zero (society-wide).

That is not so. If you get given your paycheck automatically you clearly have not created any real resources. If you spend it, you are clearly claiming something of value. For the overwhelming majority of people in the overwhelming majority of cases, the resources are for immediate or medium-term consumption, and the society wide net is reduced resources.

Well if you want repeatability, I'm assuming that means over some long timeframe, which means you need a way to get the code as it was at some point.

You then need to build that code using a consistent set of tools and libraries, which is where the chroot comes in.
