If a wind turbine of 2MW (of "capacity" or "max load") produces 5256 MWh in 1y, the average load (or yield) is 5256 MWh / 365 days / 24 hours / 2 MW = 0.3

Some day it will be near 0 (0% efficiency), or near 0.9 (90% efficiency). It depend on weather conditions.
Indeed. I not only rip my CDs immediately to FLAC, but also scan all the artwork in 600dpi on my CanoScan 9000f photographic scanner. These are then stored in a PDF file next to the music.
One explanation would be that the causation is the opposite: watching the business succeed makes people excited and so they start doing longer hours because they mistakenly hope that will make things go better.

Working at a reasonable, sustainable, pace requires big discipline. It's hard for a computer game studio with a release coming in 12 weeks to stick to 40 hours because that will get them 12 great weeks. They'll tend to slide into 80 hour weeks in panic but end up doing less.

I think two real issues are that you can't compare against a control version of the company and you can't tell you are slowing down because you are tired.

Another issue is management. Most managers think hours in means more productivity out, it's hard for them to not fall into that seeing as it is so widely held as true.
I’ve eaten a lot of roadkill. Most often a lot of the meat is tainted and can’t be used. You can’t really see that driving from your car thinking why doesn’t someone just eat that but you might just get a single back strap from road kill, or just a breast from a turkey. Again, it’s not ever too easy and you’ve got to be careful so who’s going to do that for a family? On top of all that you’ve got to get grinders, vacuum dealers and bone saws, all that being said I’ve got a rear shank I’ll be cooking this weekend.

Travelling abroad for the first time, Hertz got me a GPS that didn't work (no, smart phones were almost non-existent back then and portable GPS was shinning new in cars).

When I finally found a Hertz store in another city, they had a long time to replace it because the rental wasn't found in the system and, for Hertz, it was not possible that I was with their car.
Yes and no. The main idea of a dvcs is that you could send patches and pull requests to other people's forks. So in principle there is technically no blessed repository, but that doesn't mean there isn't a blessed repository from a social perspective.

(Also, there is more than one "blessed" Linux repo that a lot of people use. There's linux-rt, linux-stable, etc.)

What does this comment refer to? As far as I know AMD is in pretty good shape.
Well.....I wouldn't trust that either.

My sister has an insurance policy with a tracker(because she's quite young and there was no other option for her) and one day we noticed that her insurance score has fallen down through the floor, hugely negative points for....speeding. Of course the website doesn't tell you where or when, just that you're being penalized for being naughty. Ok, so we call them up, and they say they will send us the exact coordinates where the "offence" happened. Ok, cool - and turns out that they thought she was driving 70mph on a road going next to the motorway - which had a 20mph speed limit. Which was literally physically impossible, as previous GPS points were showing her on the motorway and there was no direct exit to that smaller 20mph road. So the GPS was off by maybe 10-20 metres at most, but the insurance has automatically penalized her massively for speeding. What's stopping the same system from failing when used for automatic speed limit adjustment? Especially in some extremely dense cities where you literally have roads of varying speed limits overlapping each other.

The insurer did correct that score penalty manually after I complained. But it's still a joke that it could make that mistake in the first place, especially since they can literally cancel your insurance due to speeding.
The question of whether the driver should have had their hands on the wheel (clearly they should have) is distinct from the question of whether the Autopilot should have avoided this crash.
Your magic 1 hour per day powerplant is rated at 1000W. It produces all energy at midnight for one hour. If you had infinite energy storage and distributed the energy across all 24 hours you could produce 42W every hour. 42W divided by the rated production capacity (1000W) is 4.2% which is the average capacity factor. It is useful because renewables don't generate as much as is written on their nameplate. A 1kW solar panel does not generate power all day and we have to account for that.

My cat started to get mouth/gum problems at the age of 13. She stopped eating and already was very thin to begin with (2kg).

The vet gave her antibiotics, but it always came back. I had to sit down with her while eating and cuddle her to make her eat while she cried in pain. Was an awful time.

Somehow the problems went away after a few months and she went on to have a happy life.

Years later she died in my arms of old age with 20.

The article references intelligence agencies hacking routers, shocking routers have bugs and vulnerabilities just like all other computers and software, or intercepting them in shipment to implant devices. No where is there any implication that Cisco purposely created a means for US or any other intelligence agencies to access their routers or otherwise cooperated in intelligence gathering which is Huawei is being accused of.

I ripped my CDs ages ago and have listened to music in my car or on my motorcycle through iPods or my iPhone since then. I would love to be able to get rid of all the CDs that I have accumulated throughout the years. For the last few years all my purchases have been through iTunes with an exception or two done through Amazon. I even downloaded a few albums and tracks made available by the artists themselves.

The key to me is that I am pretty much set in my music preferences. I still hear and occasionally buy new music but for the most part its static and I am just fine with that. Now of the streaming or the one satellite service give me enough flexibility to hear only want I want to hear. Worse, why would I want another monthly bill? Radio, I used to use it for commute traffic only and for the most part its the only reason I can see using it. Even now my car can update traffic on the navigation frequent enough to let me know what I may encounter
Well done on shipping, great achievement.

It's not only wasting energy that the wind turbines could be generating. Power grids also have to maintain reserve and contingency so that if the wind suddenly dies everywhere (unlikely, but possible) they can more or less immediately compensate so the grid doesn't desynchronize. This is very expensive and inefficient. A storage solution that is co-located with the turbines would be optimal, as the best sources of wind are often far from urban areas. This means that quite often even if the power is required by the grid, it can't be used as grid constraints don't allow it. Violating grid transmission constraints leads to drooping power lines and cows exploding in fields (this is not an exaggeration).

China is communist in name only. Maybe it's a kind of collectivist capitalism, but there's little socialist about it.

I wasn't aware that Marx, Stalin, Lenin, Mao and Pol Pot were seen as heroes in the US. I thought they're generally seen as villains. They certainly are in Europe. During the Cold War, there has been some sympathy in western socialist circles for Stalin and Mao, but primarily because people didn't realise, or didn't want to know, how terrible they were.

Different branches of socialism have grown far apart over the past century. Were Marxism, social democracy and anarchism used fairly interchangeably a century ago, they have grown into almost complete opposites in some cases. Marx certainly wouldn't agree with modern China in any way: there's no power at all for workers, state and corporations hold all the power, which is exactly the situation that both Marxists and other kinds of socialists argued against.

From what I see every single day--while commuting, attending to lectures, driving, strolling down the street, having lunch or dinner, walking the dog--, that is the norm. It's unfortunate, but hey, we choose our poison.
Or just skip the middlemen and buy directly from the artist via bandcamp?
> However there is often no word on the fossil consumption for producing, transporting and installing the huge wind machines.

I assume those "grey" costs would also apply for any other energy source. You always need some kind of plant where you eventually produce and distribute the electricity.
Print whatever they send. Print it: it is worth the effort: you will not convince the police with a phone but you might with a paper.

Digital is OK until you run out of battery or anyone refuses to accept your phone as proof.

When you hire a car you are just hiring a several-thousand-dollars item from a stranger. Either you take it seriously (and have a paper trail, hence) or you do not understand the risks.

It is all about risks.
Is it safe to presume that the renters didn't keep any of the rental paperwork? It sounds like keeping the paperwork in the car could've resolved a lot of this on the spot. Not that this should excuse Hertz, of course.
I think clementine (based on/inspired by Amarok 1.4) supports spotify - at least they say so on their website. However, I (used to) use it only for my local music and switching to spotify for, well, spotify.

It ranks well, but you rarely go on Medium's search bar or feed. I'd usually be here in HN, or Reddit, or some aggregator, where your self-hosted content can be found.

The battery in South Australia provides fine grained stability—smoothing out demand with near-instant response times. Unless you want to install a battery ten times larger again, you still need some way of storing large amounts of generated electricity.

I haven’t been really addicted to gaming since university. But now I largely look for ways to add gaming systems to my everyday life, such as travel hacking (optimize the points, miles and credits I earn for air and train travel) or adding incentives to new habits I want to adopt (minor cheat days if I’ve gone to the gym a certain amount of days in a row).
Just saying "no" already can cost too much effort, because it involves making a decision that you'll want to justify. It takes effort to report an issue and even more to make a pull-request, so you don't want to reject them without a good reason, without really understanding it. Except for some obviously sloppy reports that would be just rude.

The easier option is to simply not respond. Even this leaves some level of stress, because we've all had our own bug report or pull request ignored. We don't want to this uncaring person on the other side. But sadly, ignoring other people's requests is the best option for involuntary maintainers to protect themselves.

The final option is to just hand out the keys to whoever is the most active contributor, and stop trying to control the direction of the project. This will get the stress-level down. You may not like this option, but it's much better than burning out.
You replied about online usernames, but not about the question asked - do you apply to jobs using an alias / how do companies react when you change your name in the process?
> That’s weaseling out.

It would in many ways be the only honest answer. The facts in question are almost a decade ago now. Chelsea is now in many senses a different person. The fine details of her comments could result in the execution of another person.

Anyone who is confident of the fine details from events ten years ago before experiencing a multitude of bad experiences is probably significantly overconfident in their recollection.
I love the human responses are that the puzzles seem to have a gotcha, as if designed by a human.

"A common theme for positive comments has been about how the puzzles always feel like there's a clever gotcha in there."

I have tried generating fun minesweeper boards, where 'fun' is moves requiring multiple pieces of information to progress.

The boards I initially generated tended to be annoyingly difficult because the last moves required reasoning about 4 mines left. Assigning funness to moves requiring too many pieces of information turned out to be too difficult for humans (or me at least) to solve and thus became un-fun.

Why do American police stop people so often? Every American here seems to have experience of being stopped and acts like it’s a super normal thing. I live in the UK and I’m don’t think I’ve ever even spoken to an on-duty police officer in my life. They don’t just cruise around stopping cars here.
Yes, and also with the guys not actually shooting if you pay working hard on establishing a brand everyone can "trust". They could for instance sign their releases of malware so it couldn't easily be spoofed by the proposed vigilantes.
No test suite, no problem. Just run in a production staging area or deploy to beta users.
Hi!

You're not the only one reporting this error, I'll look into it as soon as possible :)

Android client is in active development, but I'm afraid I cannot exactly predict when it will be ready. I prefer to not give in this context an esteem which could be wrong, sorry for this. :)

P.s. thanks a lot!
As someone who used to live in north west Donegal, I completely agree. I think we had about two days a year where the wind didn't blow a minor gale :)
I'm only half joking when I call for a bloodlust dial with a murder level on it.

The core idea is to continue to grant enough agency to the operator that they are held responsible as long as the vehicle faithfully executed the intent.

The tongue and cheek bloodsport throttle in the real world would instead be a proactive user choice of how much human guidance and interaction is required (solving the handoff problem, for example, 1 minute automatic, 1 minute manual or an automatic system that you'll need to irritatingly press a button every few minutes to stay engaged).

If a user options for "zero engagement" (let's pretend they're drunk or just got out of surgery), then there has to be a visceral experience of the underlying risks; a constant beeping and flashing, some real sense of urgency and warning.

I know it's a luxury product but cars are machines of carnage where death is never more than a mistake and mere seconds away. That reality should supercede.

This may be eventually removed, but a system like this would honestly solve all the current issues
> I disagree that all patches are somehow ethically wrong (bugfixes and security patches are obvious counterexamples). Not to mention that if the author felt otherwise, they wouldn't have released the code under a license that allowed you to modify and redistribute your modifications.

The fact that the author does not forbid it does not mean that he/she wants changes or even encourages them. It just means that the author believes that the downsides of completely disallowing changes are even worse.

Based on the fact that we don't have acceptable performance on clear, sunny, well-marked roads today, I don't expect that we're within a year of handling snow-covered roads, road detours, human flagged construction details, etc.

I think the self-driving car efforts are dramatically underestimating the effort required to close those gaps to zero at least in the hype machine but also perhaps in the daily working cycle. (That's all well and good; I'm sure that any audacious engineering program should discount some of the hardest parts lest everyone get discouraged and never begin.)
Yes I agree, and it should be counted everywhere.
Lastly you’ll probably want cloud backups to make sure you don’t lose your ripped copies.
>Perhaps they should rename it to assisted driving or something like that.

Only a few short weeks ago Elon proclaimed Tesla will have 1 million fully-autonomous, value-appreciating robo-taxis driving the country within a year. Way too late for them to admit their technology is nothing but "assisted driver".
DifferentialEquations.jl supports GPUs. The question is what is the right way to utilize DiffEq's GPU support here. That's actually a much deeper question than you might at first think. The reason is because sparse factorizations are not an inherently parallel operation, so CUSOLVER is actually quite bad at doing them. It even seems that CUSOLVER does some CPU operations in there... ouch.

But what can we do with ModelingToolkit to start pushing more into this domain? Well, here's a few things:

1) We plan to have new compilation targets, kind of like the SArray one that was shown, which target parallelism. For example, for large Jacobians, we want a target so you can say "generate the code that fills the Jacobian optimally with 16 threads", and then what it will do is split up the Jacobian into 16 parts with approximately equally many operations and thread between those. Since it's all scalar operations then this should be something that gets as efficient as you'd want to write by hand! Then a similar compilation target can be made for the GPU, where it would need to know the number of GPU threads you'd be using and it would split apart that Jacobian filling and write a gigantic `if threadid() == ...` setup, and use CUDAnative.jl to compile this to a .ptx kernel so that all of those threads are parallelized. Both of these trivially extend to sparse matrices doing what I showed in the writing. So filling sparse matrices is something we can and plan to have nice compilation targets for.

2) We can also have compilation targets for `J*v` operations, so that way it can accelerate Newton-Krylov solvers, which is probably the better way of using sparse matrices on the GPU since it would avoid sparse factorizations.

3) We can also implement a generic sparse factorization in Julia, to then build analytical solutions for sparse factorizations, run Rewrite.jl simplification passes on these, and generate the parallelized kernels for them. This would then be something that does sparse factorizations on the GPU with parallelized code but does not need to use CUSOLVER, and so that would be quite ideal. The issue is that it would require writing generic sparse factorization tools, since Julia currently relies on SuiteSparse for this with no generic fallback. This is not an easy task, but I think Yingbo will be up for it in a few years since we have a plan to not use standard sparse linear algebra routines in Julia's differential equation suites because there is a way to speed up operations specifically in this domain by using a new factorization, and so if we go this direction our first task will be to learn how the current sparse LU is implemented.

They probably can't meet the demand for server-grade CPUs. But I'm just guessing.
Are they platforms or publishers? Your ISP doesn't police content in a meaningful way and are immune to legal claims that their service is responsible for same, similarly a newspaper is legally responsible for what it prints due to the fact they have a editor who controls what is published.

Twitter et al. seem to want to have it both ways.
Today, there is no wind in Ireland (only 5% load)

They use coal, gaz and oil instead. They are producing almost 500g of eq-CO2 per KWh.

This is a greenwashing post. Ireland produce a lot of greenhouse gas in power generation.

Countries with low emissions use hydro-electricity or nuclear reactors.

A couple years ago I took all my music back out of google music and restored from physical backups where necessary. Now, my audio player is an old laptop running linux, hooked up to some very nice speakers. (it can play podcasts too!)

The laptop just uses Rhythmbox, but you could obviously use whatever player you like. It's the best setup I've ever had. No terrible UI, no syncing, no garbage. I control what music is on there and where it's backed up. And most importantly, it has separated my music from general computer use. Yes it's technically playing on a computer it's the old linux laptop that's hooked up to the speakers. It barely uses any power and the keyboard is in an awkward position to type on. It's not convenient to watch videos or browse the internet on. It's not convenient to type on. It's really only good for listening to music. You can set it on and read, or do chores, or exercise, and never feel the urge to jump on HN, read the news, etc. If it weren't for the podcasts, it'd never even connect to the internet. And therefore it wouldn't matter if it were even updated or password protected.
