Frequently, you still need a clever subject matter expert to figure out what form of input you need to insert into the neural network. E.G. someone has to figure out how to take crystal structure and put it in a neural network. Most obvious choices (e.g. voxel models) are intractable without huge amounts of computational resources which aren't generally available

Your data needs to be very cheap.

And you don't have to be that clever. For periodic function sines and cosines. For potential energy quadratics, polynomials and exponents do a great job.

One of the key components which makes neural networks generally inferior is that you need enough data to learn the governing equations (always true physics) as well as the constitutive law (part of the physics which applies only to your problem) as opposed to just the constitutive law.

Of course there are notable exeptions. Neural networks have been doing a great job of processing microscopy data and building 3d models from a series of 2d images.

I think arguing percentages is misleading and is missing the point of the total environmental impact.

Using the same data source you can truly see how much of an outlier the US carbon footprint is:

https://ourworldindata.org/co2/country/united-states?country...

Basically the large majority of countries sit below the 10 tonne per capita cut-off, with the outliers of US, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Luxembourg above the 15 tonne cut-off (with Qatar being basically off the charts). I am not sure if it is just consumer behaviour differences or energy source differences and I am sure there will be multiple factors depending on the country and regions but these outlier countries are effectively emitting anywhere between 50% to 300% more emissions than any other population on Earth.

The main issue here is population size:

Luxembourg : 600k

Qatar: 2.897M

Saudi Arabia: 34.997M

Canada: 37.885M

US: 331.669M

If you stop thinking per capita and actually take into account total population, you quickly realize that all other nations on Earth are dependent on US market carbon correction in order to avoid environmental collapse. Far more than any other foreign policy ineptitude from the current adminsistration it's the environmental inaction and downright resistance of US lobby driven policy that scares everyone else around the world.

We are still on track for an inevitable major environmental collapse but it could still be vastly mitigated, if US politicians and citizens would get with the program.

All incumbents have some advantage over a new player -- that doesn't mean monopoly.

A good example of how Comcast will be disrupted is Starlink. Though I'll concede that US Internet infrastructure seems outdated compared to the EU. So perhaps this aging infrastructure suggest monopolistic practices as does any phenomena characterized by stagnation.

Because reducing energy use reduces quality of life at constant dollar income (at least medium term), and reduces economic growth (energy's an input in all economic activities), with all the social negative consequences that produces. It's a third rail, politically. No one's going to get elected by saying "your children have to live worse than you".

The Western world is already (slowly, over decades) reducing this (look at per capita energy use dropping nicely since the 90s), and there's significant pushback even at this rate (gillets jaunes, cost of living protests). All future energy use growth is elsewhere (Africa, China, India) with no plans to stop and if the Western world tries to impose their views on them, it'll look a lot like neocolonialism for environmental reasons.
It looks to me it's only the medical usage that's going to be legalized.

"The measure does not decriminalize psilocybin. It’s still a Schedule I drug under federal rules and thus not approved for any medical uses. Instead, Measure 109 would direct the Oregon Health Authority to create a state-licensed, psilocybin-assisted therapy program over the next two years and determine how it would regulate the ingredient."

I don't think it does. It doesn't look like the method is actually using the 'brightness' argument.

It's just reading the ACPI status bits to update the current state. It doesn't set anything.

I'm not familiar with the existing law covering OBD2/CAN bus, but I'm pretty sure even when the OBD2 port gives you the ability to communicate with all networks (D-CAN, K-CAN, etc...), it's currently up to the community to reverse engineer the commands etc...

As for data that was transmitted "last week" I'd rather my car not transmit data continuously, and if I wanted to monitor it continuously I could just plug in a scanner with an embedded computer. There are already a multitude of such devices for OBD, both that pair with your phone and which run as independent devices.

> incompetence by the state

"In the movie Steve Jobs, a character asks, “So how come 10 times in a day I read ‘Steve Jobs is a genius?’” The great man reputation that envelops Jobs is just part of a larger mythology of the role that Silicon Valley, and indeed the entire U.S. private sector, has played in technology innovation. We idolize tech entrepreneurs like Jobs, and credit them for most of the growth in our economy. But University of Sussex economist Mariana Mazzucato, who has just published a new U.S. edition of her book, The Entrepreneurial State: Debunking Public vs. Private Sector Myths, makes a timely argument that it is the government, not venture capitalists and tech visionaries, that have been heroic.

“Every major technological change in recent years traces most of its funding back to the state,” says Mazzucato. Even “early stage” private-sector VCs come in much later, after the big breakthroughs have been made. For example, she notes, “The National Institutes of Health have spent almost a trillion dollars since their founding on the research that created both the pharmaceutical and the biotech sectors–with venture capitalists only entering biotech once the red carpet was laid down in the 1980s. We pretend that the government was at best just in the background creating the basic conditions (skills, infrastructure, basic science). But the truth is that the involvement required massive risk taking along the entire innovation chain: basic research, applied research and early stage financing of companies themselves.” The Silicon Valley VC model, which has typically dictated that financiers exit within 5 years or so, simply isn’t patient enough to create game changing innovation."

more importantly, thanks to the internet there is a huge amount of available data that is reasonably available. Many of the science problems I have dealt with have something like 11 data "points". And experiments may take a month to perform.
This is something I found when looking at GitHub actions. I don't want to use tons of third party stuff and be vendor locked in. We already moved builds to build a Docker container when we used Travis for this exact reason before testing with CI.
Noting down your concern on a poll isn't the same as taking action - even the least action, voting for someone who is not a climate change denier, was beyond half the country. And if this sort of political action is what 73% produces? Then that figure isn't worth the poll paper it's printed on.
I love them for this also, they found a single copy of a rare German 45 for me.
ok; so the problems with that are:

1. it requires a change on the docker daemon config. On many container environments like k8s it's hard to manipulate that setting.

2. it works only for the default "implicit" index registry, aka docker hub. Not all images are distributed from that place.
I'm not a trump supporter or right wing or a climate denier. But the Paris agreement is shit. Its a non binding "accord" to do nothing and hope that the problem goes away. The pretense that it matters or will make a difference (let alone actually solve the issue) activey prevents progress.
Lovely; care to enlighten the rest of us?
They're definitely two different workflows and for every day work, creating a video tutorial or a "codelab" is a lot more work than just writing some Markdown text in a README.

Creating incentives within a work environment to write better documentation is easier than trying to record video tutorials.

I agree it looks like a good tool for producing instructional videos.

It's expressed in the wrong way, but the truth is the so-called developed countries should focus on the ways to help the developing countries in transitioning to renewable energy as quickly as possible. This is as important and urgent as finding a cure for COVID-19.

Doing inventory isn't just how counting how much of item A exists in a store for accounting purposes. More importantly it is making sure that the there enough items on a shelf for customers to purchase. This is known as "on shelf inventory".

An item in the backroom does not count towards the on shelf count. An item that is on a high shelf to be moved down as needed (overstock) does not count. And there isn't just a bit of overstock, most aisle the top shelf will be overstock. Also Items can get damaged, meat can expire ect. A customer can pick up an item decide he doesn't want to buy it, and throw it back on a random shelf.

The job involves going to an aisle, scanning the items on the shelf, and if the shelf count is not full either moving items down from overstock or from the back room.
It's important to say explicitly what "not forever" is here. Half life of methane in the atmosphere is 9 years[0]. Then it decomposes into CO₂ and water; the latter is suspected to be a potent greenhouse gas at that altitude[1].

I mean that BeOS didn’t have a way to login as separate people and use the same computer at different times with a clear separation of access rights. Mac OS X did, like most Unix or Unix-related OSes.

It’s not about simultaneous use, but standard user management, access control, and permissions.

Though yes, technically this also allows multiple to access it simultaneously via ssh and other things that’s not the important part for IT in this instance.

Yeah, there is a slight increase in natural gas over the years (with large fluctuations), while coal is in slight decline. By far the largest share of the nuclear phaseout has been replacing it with renewables.

One can discuss the pros and cons of german energy politics (of which there are both plenty), but that should start by knowing the facts.
> Well, the throttling seems to be on anonymous and free docker hub accounts for now. So you do have the option of paid tiers.

We don't need to resort to paid services. This is all about convenience.

As I've said, services like GitLab already provide container registry services, and we are also free to operate our own custom container registry services. Docker Hub is only used to source reference images such as Ubuntu, postgres, rabbitmq, traefik, etc etc etc. We can simply point to a different provider to continue accessing those. Even if these projects continue to use Docker Hub then if we stick with stable releases then we can simply point to a different container registry service, even one managed by us.

The main point is that Docker Hub ceased to be a reliable provider. Thus, we plan accordingly.
Even the Raspberry Pi 400 has hardware decoding where the Raspberry Pi Foundation claims up to H.265 video decoding in 4K @ 60 fps in hardware. That sounds great for all sorts of media and streaming!

However the fine print looks to be that this may not hold true for Chrome and streaming / YouTube, but offline videos with certain players because Chromium doesn't support hardware acceleration for this API. Chromium supports VAAPI, this uses libva. sigh Why does this Linux hardware decoding story always repeat itself. :-(

Still, raw CPU may let it manage at least 1080p at 30 fps but I can't say for sure for anything more.
I did this recently. We wanted to validate our thermal control model and we had ~20 heaters and 24 hours to do the test. Heaters couldn't cycle faster than about 4 hours due to thermal mass, so we had to fit our periodic function in less than a quarter of a period of cycle time. It works fine if you have a good initial guess to the period and you know your solution is periodic.
This is nice, but I'd rather just have a physical switch. One that physically breaks the connection. For a camera, a built-in cover seems like a fine idea.

Hm, the screwiness of AB5 is a reason I'd vote against 22 [0]. Basically, it just compounds the existing problem of AB5 being totally capricious by making it hard to streamline and fix long-term now that there's a Proposition-locked special exemption.

IOW, the only thing worse than the legislature making arbitrary carveouts, is carveouts being claimed by anyone who can fund a prop campaign. At least with the former, there can be a compromise later that rationalizes the whole system; but post-prop 22, everyone will also have to work around Uber's carveout.

> Having medicare for all and a social safety net is standard in all European countries and other Global North countries.

No disagreements that having a robust social safety net is a necessity, but just want to nit-pick a little here and point out that not all European/Global North countries have "Medicare for all" or single payer systems. Germany has a public-private mix, Netherlands has a purely private universal healthcare system, Switzerland has a purely private universal healthcare system, Australia has a public-private mix (44% choose private), Singapore has universal catastrophic coverage but everything else is driven by savings accounts and private insurance among the upper-middle class, etc etc — Belgium, South Korea (technically "single payer" but only covers 60% of costs, private insurance fills in the gaps), Japan, etc.

Even "Medicare" in the US, is a public-private mix: roughly 37% of Medicare beneficiaries are on a private health insurance plan (Medicare Advantage), and we expect that number to reach 50% by 2025.

I've found that industries irrationally oppose reasonable legislation on principle. Do you remember cell phone number portability? (In the US?) Cell phone carriers vocally opposed it, and then the day it was passed they all put up signs saying you could keep your number if you switched today.
I assume consumption and population growth have declined due to COVID19, which also greatly reduce emissions. Even after it ends, it will take years before we return to pre-pandemic levels.

When an item comes in from a truck it either goes directly onto the sales floor, into overstock (a high shelf above the other items), or into the backroom. People put things back in random places, stuff get destroyed (think of dropping a can on the ground), stuff get stollen, cashiers make a mistake, people make a mistake in self checkout, probably other stuff I am missing. It is a store, things are chaotic.

Let's take the journey of some cans of Goya black beans. 12 come in on a truck. The shelf capacity for them is 4. The person unloading the truck takes beans to the sales-floor, puts 4 on the shelf, puts 4 into overstock puts 4 into the backroom. Joe walks in takes a can, drops it and it bends. Jane comes along takes a can, continues shopping, the changes her mind and leaves it somewhere in the cereal aisle. Janet comes along and takes a can, takes it to self checkout but forgets to scan it. Jacob comes along takes a can, takes it to the checkout, and 1 can is subtracted from inventory. Inventory shows 11 cans, but there are actually 0 cans out on the sales floor. And I haven't even gotten into stuff being misplaced in the backroom ect.
> Unless I'm mistaken, 100 pulls per 6 hours per IP is a lot

It really depends on your usecase. I mean, each CICD stage can involve building a brand new image and running a couple of them, sometimes more. 100 pulls per 6 hours corresponds to a constant rate of 3 min between pulls, which would require between 15 to 20 minutes for each commit.

Anyway, the primary practical implications of this sort of change is a) rate limiting suddenly becomes a requirement, b) we can no longer count on Docker Hub to provide a reliable service, thus we plan accordingly.
