I can't find the actual electrical power generated by the prototype circuit in the press releases, but it sounds like in the mA power range? It is "limitless" as long as the graphene mechanically survives (wonder how long that buckling will take to compromise the graphene) and there is some kind of minimum temperature maintained for the given required amount of electrical power output desired. Definitely not "free energy", but always good to reach further down into the physical realm in Feynman's "Plenty of Room at the Bottom" sense.

I'm rooting around for alternative sources of the paper without success, but for those who have read it, what kind of graphene did they use (monolayer, CVD, GO, rGO, etc.)? I suspect that will somewhat throttle the manufacturing supply chain.

Batteries are the least interesting application to me. This brings "sensor dust" out of solid fantasy into the realm of possibility in the far future; at first it will be "sensor clods", but let it follow the same evolutionary Shockley-to-ARM development path, and let's see where it goes. Permanently implanted medical chips to measure the blood, nervous and other internal medicine metrics we want to get our hands on might be more miniaturized; need to figure out how to extract out the incredibly weak signal.

Take a look at this new treatment(neurofeedback)[1]. It changed my life. Instead of changing brain chemically you can change the structure of your brain. It's not ADHD that's the problem, its the focus networks in the brain not being trained properly.

ADHD becomes a gift when you can focus and the brain just naturally learns, and memorizes very well. I went from being incapable of anything to being really great at anything I wanted to be (just late to the party).

Can you name a book or film that is popular 20+ years after it was first released that is bland?

Even Disney films - the most idealistic in many ways - can hardly be considered bland.

The typical Summer bland film or airport book which really is bland and overladen with tropes is rarely popular after a few years.
> "Is this the life you want to live?"

This is the wrong question. The real question is do you daily want to do the things it takes to have those things. So often a goal is made, but the person doesn't want to be the thing that makes them get the goal.

Eg: Run a marathon, but they loath the daily training and food discipline

eg2: Speak a language, but they dont want to do the practice or be vulnerable speaking to another person.

> All this is to say that medication can help when you need to feel normal, but it can't replace the skills you should have been developing.

Exactly. These articles about ADHD and dopamine are often misinterpreted by people who assume that ADHD is a purely chemical imbalance with only chemical solutions.

It's similar to the situation with depression, where decades of misleading ads and pop-neuroscience articles led people to believe that depression == serotonin. Most people are coming around to the idea that the "chemical imbalance" narrative has done more harm than good in the realm of depression treatment, but the idea that ADHD == dopamine and that ADHD is a pure chemical imbalance is still common online.

These studies should be interpreted as a snapshot of the brain's function in the disordered state, but they shouldn't be interpreted as an inherent property of the person's brain. For example, patients suffering from depression will show certain patterns of serotonin activity during depressive episodes that will change following remission, even if the patient doesn't take medication. The brain isn't a unchanging machine that only operates in a single, fixed way.

You said it best: Medication can't replace the skills that one should be developing. Many people take medication as a gateway to develop those skills and go on to do quite well in life. Unfortunately, some people assume the medication lets them off the hook for learning those important skills. They tend to struggle years down the road when they've built a tolerance to the motivating and stimulating effects of the medications (the attention-enhancing effects tend to be more robust against tolerance, but the euphoric/motivating/stimulating effects will dwindle over time).
I think this is one of the main basis of psychology too. The psychologists never blame the situation or external factors for any problems you present. Be it career-wise, relationship issues, depression etc., they always offer coping mechanisms and thought processes to deal from within.

The deal is to introspect and figure out a proper response to mistakes, situations, and in general, life.
> It’s not that you stumble, it’s that you get back up. It’s not that you did something wrong but that you realize what’s happening and change. It’s not that you messed up as a friend or lover, it’s that you see ways you can be better. Having the wrong priorities is bad enough, but realizing that and refusing to change is worse.

We have a new hire at my work. He's been on board 10 to 12 weeks now. His skill set is the least of our bunch. Fair enough, we all have to start somewhere.

The problem is, he refuses to change. He's some form of Bartleby the Scrivener. Speaks 5x more than he listens. He has been asked to not do certain things certain ways, he's acknowledged those requests, and then has gone and done otherwise. He's been hand-held by people with experience very much his senior and yet he seems completely unwilling - we believe he's able - to "update his software." We've missed client deadlines because of him and he's yet to own a single misstep. The point is, it's not only himself who is compromised by his "learning disabilities."

He's not young. Fifties-ish I guess. I also haven't seen his CV so I'm not sure how he sold himself. That said, if he's typical of people in that age range I now understand why many employers are reluctant to hire the "over-experienced." It's not that they fear paying more, it's that they're not going to get current and contemporary value.

Note: Before you accuse me of age stereotyping I'm actually older than he is. I'm also skill for skill one of the least robust members on our team. But I listen. I openly ask for feedback. I'm still wanting to learn and grow. Perhaps I'm some sort of freak?
I really like this idea. I’m going to take a crack at a simple PoC around the data flow and basic UI this long weekend.

All other lights are meaningless to me and I use the browser UI instead, like you.

I’m not sure whether this oft-cited research demonstrates much regarding upward mobility, per se, but it does provide some compelling insight into the volatility of income throughout one’s life. Typically, when speaking of upward mobility, some degree of stability is assumed to follow an upward income movement, but this study doesn’t preclude the possibility of someone going from, say, the 20th income percentile to the 80th for a year, then subsequently falling back to the 20th income percentile for the remainder of their life. That’s not a fault of the study, to be sure, but it does limit the scope of its application with regard to the topic of upward mobility.
That's not exactly a good thing. Look at how much publishers get and how much trickles down to authors.

Consumption of the best-ofs in a media category is an exercise in building media literacy. By listening to Pink Floyd you can get more out of Tame Impala.

Big media companies make more money from new than old, so are quite happy to have a consumer go through their life paying for potboiler ephemera. The consumer shouldn’t be happy with that though, as they’d have paid dearly in time and money for media that’s painfully beige compared to the best old stuff and also the best new stuff that they’d only have known to look for if they had built the media literacy.

Far more important, however, in converting Assange from being portrayed as a heroic fighter against state secrecy into a figure beyond the pale, were the allegations of rape made against him in Sweden in 2010.

Exactly! When they say "history repeats", I often wonder if it also means the responses repeat too. The situations most of us face is not unique and it is highly possible to arrive at similar best responses. Moreover the solutions offered then were simple and to-the-point, unlike the present fluffy ones.

This also offers comfort because things are already figured out in most cases, it could be just a matter of finding them and locally applying them to suitable measures.
I would say the tax makes no sense. It‘s a reminiscence of some times that are long gone. People pay a tax for a bloated system and TV channels that mostly pensioners use. The quality of the programs is very low. Also, few people know that the tax is also paid by companies, based on the number of employees and cars.

So apparently this is the “small device eliminates need for AC” that I see advertised everywhere! 


But in all seriousness, it seems this converts ambient heat (not a heat differential) directly into electricity. Therefore it must necessarily cool its surroundings by the equivalent energy extracted?

So it’s a kind of air conditioner which doesn’t use electricity to move heat but rather converts heat directly to electricity? I thought we “knew” this was impossible...
Let’s say the music business demands $8 per month per user for licensing fee. Apple can sell their music service for $9.99 and get some nice profits. Spotify cannot sell at $9.99 with an in app purchase as the remaining money doesn’t cover the license costs.

This is the very reason Spotify charges more (if they even allow it anymore) when purchased as an iap.

Apple likely has not stomped down on it because that one would be rather clear cut case for courts.
Agreed . Shows like breaking bad are good, but they’re also palatable. Massive successes have to have broad appeal.

Unique gems have niche audiences . See The Leftovers.

I think The Wire is a masterpiece so great that it graduated from niche appeal to broad praise.

The problem is that "let's leave everything to the free market and have no rules" is appealing to large powerful cultures like the American one because they know that will favor them. It's less appealing to smaller cultures because it won't. It's kind of the reason places like Quebec have their rules like having to provide French language shop signs even though to Americans (and even English-speaking Canadians) that seems like a violation of the rights of the shop owner.

Sorry to hear you’re going through such a tough time right now. Was there myself back a couple of years ago, down to the two kids. I have also played the merry go round of trying different medications and even different diagnoses. Took 3 years of trial and error to find the right meds and the right diagnosis.

First, I will echo what the other poster said - work with your doctor. Everyone is different and reacts differently to medication.

I can only speak from personal experience, but be very careful with Vyvanse. In the beginning, the effects were wonderful. Increased motivation, focus, etc. however, after about a year the effects began to wear off and my dosage was titrated really high (120 mg per day). Even at that dosage, I could barely get out of bed sometimes. I also began having panic attacks and severe paranoia. As another poster described, when it wore off, I had some of the most sad periods to where I’d sit there and cry for no reason. It was like staring up a deep dark well with little to no light.

I had life stuff going on, so reactions weren't completely unwarranted, but they were unnecessarily amplified. I’m not a doctor, but I felt like covers up depression and kicks the can down the road. Sometimes it gives people the motivation to change their circumstances, thus improving their depression. But, in many cases, it drives people to chase the high in order to keep staving off the lows. I don’t mean the euphoric high, I mean the motivation/focus high.

Listening to your post, and please don’t take this the wrong way, but it sounds like you are chasing the high without addressing the low. If you are taking a benzodiazepine for anxiety, it may be worth trying a different medication since those can make anyone groggy (with or without stimulants).

For me, it didn’t end well and I had to stop taking Vyvanse cold turkey (whew that sucked). It took a couple of years, but life turned out so much better for me once I addressed the anxiety and depression (or in my case, bipolar depression). I also take stimulants again, without any issues.
Yes, but it's more than that.

once_cell allows you more ways to do lazy initialization.

Like by using `once_cell::sync::OnceCell` instead of `once_cell::sync::Lazy` you can determine the init function when trying to access the once cell. For many cases `Lazy` is what you want but for some `OnceCell` makes it just so much easier.

And then you also can use the types outside of a "lazy initialized static/global" use case.

So generally it's better (by now).
I dunno, having to kowtow to a pearl clutching gerontocracy seems pretty American to me.

Finland seems pretty tame compared to America’s current effort to keep their culture “pure.”

This has been done many, many times. It works extremely well for some applications, but also often becomes an operational nightmare. Let's say that you do manage to create a hardware implementation that's fully equivalent to the kernel one at some point in time, even in terms of things like configurability and monitoring. Something that has never happened before AFAIK. Then technology changes, your needs change, or there's a security issue. Now you have to go through a special update process - assuming an update is even available - to keep up. This might not be a problem for a small deployment, but in a small deployment it probably wasn't worth going the specialized route anyway.

In a large deployment, anything that doesn't fit into the common update/remediation workflow is going to require special accommodation in code. Is the engineering cost plus the hardware cost worth it to the customer? Sometimes still yes, but more often no. There are many examples of companies who found out the hard way that the market for this kind of thing isn't big enough to recoup their own development and other costs.

P.S. This is very similar to the arguments for/against hardware RAID controllers. For whatever reasons, rightly or wrongly, those are also steadily losing popularity. Software really is eating the world.

P.P.S. In some cases, e.g. Amazon, the "smart NIC" approach is the common workflow, so the color of this argument changes. OTOH, it's also worth noting that the kinds of network filtering/virtualization/whatever that Amazon does is very specific to them and has nothing to do with any standard. They dedicate staff to support it. Bespoke ASIC/FPGA approaches aren't the same as a market in which you can sell them.

More people need to realize this! Healthy soils are enormously rich ecosystems. They're also fundamental to the water and carbon cycles. Soils are cumulatively a much larger carbon sink than the atmosphere, for instance.
I’m not sure I’m missing anything.

To recap this conversation, I cited net tuition data that calculates per student tuition, and pegs public 4 year in-state tuition average at ~$11,000 per student.

You responded by suggesting that university sizes vary, and therefore that data is incomplete (though you still haven’t explained exactly how). You then cited EMU vs UM.

I pulled up the actual per-student data at EMU vs UM, and showed that the data across both 1) corroborates the net tuition calculation, and 2) don’t wildly vary from each other. Again, these are per student calculations. The spot-check samples agree with the aggregate calculation.

> [four paragraphs about degrees, ignoring non-degreed people again]

I didn’t ignore non-degreed people. When analyzing people that don’t have degrees, we have to try to understand what the root cause is: whether it’s because they don’t want to attend, because they couldn’t get admission, or because they couldn’t afford it. I’m simply making the argument that reason #3 is no more likely today than it was 40 years ago. I gave you maybe 4 paragraphs arguing why that is the case (degree confers higher salary that more than pays for the up-front cost + everyone has access to student loans + median loan amount is roughly == price of an entry level car)

In the context of a conversation about the costs of college, I’m also pointing out that (by definition), non-degreed people don’t have to worry about those costs. Non-degreed people are also overwhelmingly the people that earn the median wage, and if you’ve paid attention this entire thread, the numbers for median wage earners are positive — even if not as positive as their degree-holding counterparts.
Intel limits these economy lines of cpu to 2gb to prevent that. I generally use Arm chips since they started low but are trying to break 8gb instead of trying to prevent you from creating an efficient solution that relies on good storage and memory instead of CPU.

Edit: The design of the parse tree is such that there is no need for things like statement termination, parameter separation, among other things. By its simplicity, the code focuses on what really matters. Complex syntax is mentally taxing and distracts the programmer from focusing his energy on problem solving.
