Skin's one of those things that is WAY more complicated than you think at first glance. It's translucent, soft, anisotropic, specular, layered, with tons of structured fine detail. It doesn't move right unless the fat, muscle, ligaments, tendons, and bones underneath are modeled right and controlled right. And it's one of the things that we innately spend huge amounts of mental processing power on analyzing. It's no wonder it's hard to render convincingly.
It's profitable.

Both in dollars and cents and in PR value being able to push back against environmentalists and climate change advocates. But you can be assured, global climate be damned, no drop of oil or natural gas will be left in the ground until it becomes unprofitable or unless regulatory changes force the issue.

My bicycle doesn’t even have a speedometer so I’m not sure how the metric system is supposed to expand my world. I’m happy looking around and glancing at my watch.

Miles per hour is literally a measure of distance over time. If I wanted to use my GPS I could very easily determine how far I can go in a given amount of time. I can do this equally well in the metric or imperial systems, without converting to feet or meters.

Why Python at all? About 10 years ago I liked Python a lot (and still like it in principle) and felt very productive compared to, say, Java. Java was full of inconvenience, XML, bloated frameworks and all that. But today you can use Kotlin, that is in my opinion even nicer than Python, with performant frameworks (e. g. Quarkus or Ktor) on the super fast JVM.

I don't want to start a language war, but maybe Python is not the first choice for their requirements.

I wonder what a huge Carrington solar storm would do to humanity. If electricity went out everywhere, transformers burned up all over, electronics fried. If this caused transport failures, mass starvation could follow. I really hope a severe solar storm would not be as bad as that and hopefully someone could enlighten me on this.

Vertical faming has very little appeal to anyone, other than a small percentage technophiles. I don't think it's the future, and it's fine. It's good to have vertical farms, but there's nothing wrong if traditional agriculture supplies most food. Vertical farming is successful for a handful of items. There are products, like tomatoes or strawberries, where hydroponically grown vegetables don't taste as well. So, this shouldn't be either or discussion. All methods of agriculture have the right to exist.
Taxes generally distorts incentives and lead to misallocations of resources.

It's better to let the prices do the talking with caps on retail prices ( barrier function ).

generators that can keep the lights on during peak demand get better "credit score" in the form of matched investment loans at lower interest rates.

generators that can keep their price low and stable during peak demand ( on retail ) get matched prices to the highest priced utility.

So during peak demand :

- G1 charges 0.7 USD / kWh

- G2 charges 1.0 USD / kWh

G1 gets paid 0.3 USD / kWh by the state, giving them strong incentive to find cheaper ways to meet peak demand.

Why wont G1 just jack it up to 1 USD ?

because retail would notice, why not switch to G2 if G1 and G2 are charging the same amount ?

---------------------------

There is another simple policy that the state can adopt.

Create 3 tiers of power demand ( each hour is put in one of the bins ):

- Demand Min, Demand Avg, Demand Max.

- whatever the price is at each tier, the state pays a small surcharge.

- DM ( 0% ), DA ( 2% ), DM ( 5% ).

This way nobody is unnecessary penalized, and everybody has the correct incentive to play along.
I think that's reading too much into it. One can care about meeting their responsibilities because they love their family. And "being a great parent and partner" can be one of those responsibilities.

> Would other states be able to provide it?

Yes. At the peak, Texas wholesale electricity spot-prices went up by 10,000% - 10x is child's play. What would have happened was non-essential use in California would have been priced out by desperate Texan households who'd pay almost anything to keep residences heated.
It was a matter of many months, although not 100% all the time on it. I started with trying different designs for a single "down" key mechanism, then just kept broadening the scope - creating a single "cluster" of 5 keys and doing a little proof of concept with the electronics on it. Figuring out the thumb mechanisms.. figuring out the handrest, and the adjustable cluster mounting mechanisms, etc. I wouldn't say there was any particular "failed approach" per say, just a lot of little failed design details along the way, that were changed/improved over the course of the design.

It would probably take me about 40 hours (of me time - not including 3d printing, etc.) to make one from scratch at this point. For someone trying to figure it out for the first time, I would double or triple that at least. But once I finish some design tweaks I've been working on, which include some actual fabbed pcbs, it shouldn't be as bad.
I assume you're referring to the NYT there, not Netflix? (It doesn't matter that much, because the situation is similar either way.)

NYT is a US company serving a US locale by it's very name. GDPR doesn't even automatically apply to European NYT subscribers, unless the NYT advertises directly to Europeans, or does EU business with EU offices*. The GDPR law is clear about this point, it is a protection for EU citizens regarding web sites and businesses that are focused on, directed and targeted toward EU citizens. It does not apply to interactions outside of the EU (aside from EU travelers visiting EU web sites), and it does not apply to web sites that originate outside the EU and are global that just happen to have visitors from the EU.

* The NYT might be advertising in the EU, I don't know. If it does, I'd be willing to bet that EU citizens are given an online mechanism to cancel, even though US citizens aren't...

Endgame: Creating Backdoors in AWS
I'm guessing it's a good metric here because most of their tasks are small tasks that only takes a few hours to complete (in code) and then the average Cycle Time becomes the average overhead for getting a fix into production.
It's more than that, they view existing outside the reach of the legal system and consumer protections as being a benefit. "No chargebacks" is a major selling point that the community uses to evangelize to merchants, and the flip side of that is that it's much less protections for consumers.
I'm rather skeptical on this idea that just because a specific feature was never implemented, or just because a specific bug was never fixed, that estimates based on past behavior don't work. That assertion doesn't have any basis on reality. I mean, implementing a feature of fixing a bug is not an isolated event performed with improvised approaches starting from scratch. Teams have processes and procedures that are standardized and take time, and need to be performed sequentially, which means that the improvisation part at best represents a small subset of the time invested working on a ticket.

For a concrete example, let's imagine a team which has a continuous delivery pipeline which involves a code review step and manual acceptance tests. Let's say that the code review can stay in a queue for a couple of hours, or even sleep into the next day, and that the manual acceptance tests require the feature to be deployed to a preprod stage after passing through all unit and integration tests, and that it might take a day to run.

With this process alone, the ticket already takes at least 2 or 3 days between being assigned to someone and being marked as done.

Now, let's say that the coding bit of a random ticket might take 5 minutes or 3 days. This means that the overall time between the start and end time of a ticket is about 4 days +- 2day, which means worse case scenario, it takes 6 days to close a ticket.

How is this sort of estimate not possible?

The problem of providing estimates is not one of predicting the amount of time it takes to close a ticket. The problem of providing estimates is a problem of processes, and how to adequately organize, structure, and classify work. If you don't know what you're doing then you don't know when you're done.
An easy way to improve that accuracy is to survey people based on their past use as well. There's less reason to be in denial about something you've already dealt with.

Just use a floating point op and it'll probably be never picked up as hashing.
It's not nearly that simple: power consumption, other processes, future processes... are all factors in deciding how much RAM to use and a userspace application simply can't know enough to decide that. And what do you do if it overestimates and you actually need that RAM for something else? The OS doesn't know enough to decide which pages to swap out and swapping isn't the right solution anyways as now your app thinks its cache is in memory but it's actually on the disk. But the OS can't just deallocate pages since it doesn't know which are important.

There's a pretty elegant solution to this that basically all OS use these days: the OS can use additional memory as a disk cache, since IO is still the biggest bottleneck on most systems. Apps can request a file to be cached too (see man 2 readahead), so there's no guessing involved and the app can cooperate with the OS instead of assuming it's the only thing that is or ever will be running and eating up qll resources accordingly.

The analogy of "email connectivity parameters" is way too simplistic. Neural network weights are a lot more like VHDL code on FPGAs that enable/disable individual gates.

The NN engine is just a substrate. It can't do anything on its own, and what it can do is vastly altered by the specific database of weights that are applied.

Additionally, as a proportion of what makes a NN system work, the weights are the vast, physical bulk of it.

I don't think any legal team employing a real ML expert witness would have any trouble arguing that the weights are the code.
> I do prefer Fahrenheit for HVAC (and weather) because it’s higher resolution and has reasonable values at human scales.

So you are one of those, lol. There is nothing "less human" about 25 C than say 72 F. Nothing, it just happen to be the scale you are used to.Both are arbitrary.

> Fahrenheit for HVAC (and weather) because it’s higher resolution

99.99% of thermostats and thermometer in C had at least 1 decimal place. At usual "human temperatures" the difference in resolution between the scales is less than 2X, so even assuming only integer values, I am willing to bet against you in a double blind test that you cannot differentiate 68F vs 69F in an statistical significant way.

> I find it easier to say that’s three eighths than 9mm

Just because you are used to. Fractions are more complicated than integers, every elementary school program knows it.

So to summarize, the problem is not with the magnitude of the units which is arbitrary (a degree F and inches are not more human, logical or normal that a degree C or cm)the problem is with the convoluted way of the imperial system for multiples and submultiples of the base unit.
> Well maybe, having the name "in the public" like that will make it more likely that people will stay aware of the history. If the name is removed from the public and found only in books that are dusty on the shelves of an archive, that's less likely.

In my experience, organizations tend to downplay the misdeeds of those whose name and likeness are prominently displayed in or around their buildings. It's just not terribly easy for an organization to talk frankly about such things without it getting really awkward, so they tend to just ... not talk about it.

I also supremely doubt that many people learned about Millikan's life from the building, ditto for his more troubled aspects. I also doubt that many people here have, or ever will, visit that building. The move to rename this building probably taught more people about his troubled aspects than the building itself ever did.

Instead I think it's more fair to say that naming a building after anyone is a tribute and an attempt to hold someone up as a model to be followed by those who go there. I think there's an interesting and nuanced discussion to be had about whether Millikan's negative aspects justify his removal, but I think arguing that we need his name on a building in order to remember him and his eugenicist past are a bit silly, frankly.

Sounds more like a case for using cycle time as a checksum to make sure the team’s estimates are fully considered.

They’re clearly missing 4 days of standard requirements in their estimates.
It's also much bigger than most other airports, double the number of gates as SFO.
I agree, when I read the comments I get the impression that most of the commenters take it for granted that two jobs must be read as two part time jobs. I have not found the paper and the article does not suggest anything. If it is part time jobs people are talking about when they have answered the questionaire, though, the headline should have suggested that an increasing number of people struggle to get full time jobs? More part time employment in low wages jobs is a social problem, of course. More people having to take more than a full time job to make ends meet is a bigger problem in a society, though.
DreamerV2: Mastering Atari with Discrete World Models
Yeah, I think the problem the OP overlooked is that most of the cycle time was taken by various internal company processes and these are really not novel every time therefore it takes a similar amount of time to deliver different features. This in my mind is simply called estimation.

It has nothing to do with protecting the oil supply. The U.S. military is deployed to ensure that oil producing countries don't go and sell their oil for anything other than dollars. Protecting the oil is completely orthogonal.
Or indeed if rewriting a block of code:

#if 1
....new code...
#else
....old code...
#endif

Esp. for tricky stuff, it's then possible to just flip the 1/0 to easily test/compare/profile the new/old code.

Some IDE's will even work out which block of code to colour and which to dim.
You’re forgetting weathering on skin. Some parts get more sun, wind, rain, scars or other marks, we build it up during a lifetime. Good painters knew how to convey these effects, they often lack in shaders.
This is comparing to super small states. Not a super fair comparison.
Good idea, congrats! Have you considered building a platform for remote workers connected to these features? I mean, offices could rent out their spare desks for other people not in their organization, and remote workers could book them for a limited time.

Not the same use case, but I think it's not far from what you offer.

Which are historically the main opponents of any concern regarding climate change.
transactions that are not chosen for inclusion in a block (likely due to low transaction fees) do age out of the mempool eventually, so there is a network-enforced "timeout". It's not a hard number but it will eventually happen.

Also obviously there is a human-imposed "timeout" too. Like, if you buy something with Bitpay they expect your transaction to be included in one of the next 3 blocks. If it's not, they will "timeout" the transaction and it bounces. If it is eventually mined for inclusion, they will voluntarily return it to you minus whatever fees they choose to charge (average transaction fee is $24 right now, so you will lose $24 sending it to them, then $24 for them sending it back to you, and $24 to send it again).

https://ycharts.com/indicators/bitcoin_average_transaction_f...

(of course they don't have to send it back to you, there is no network-enforced mechanism for this, they could bounce the transaction and then if it gets included an hour later they could not pay you back, the money is under their control once you've signed the transaction. They could even maintain a separate mempool of these "dead" transactions and use a friendly mining pool to process those transactions preferentially...)
Yes, because stock buybacks reward management with options. Dividends do not. Many countries don't allow a company to buy its own stock.
There are kauri trees of different ages, and the thickness of the rings varies with weather, so they can line them up and stitch together series from lots of trees to get all the way to the present. (Don't need kauri trees for the most recent stuff.)

Also, you can check the carbon ratio in a particular ring. That gives you a sample of the air from that year. Because, you know, trees are very, very literally made out of air.

The idea is that people need that power. If a state with a lot of people has a lot of power generation this will be not enough if per-capita power generation is too low. Of course power can be imported but overall per-capita seems to be more important than the total.

This is a direct consequence of the climate change denial coming, to a great extent, directly out of those same lawmakers.

If the public had instead been informed about the likely extreme weather events that will be brought about by climate change with the same zeal that they are being lied to today, this type of spending could have easily been presented as necessary.

Instead of taking this crisis as a time or reckoning, we're of course seeing everyone doubling down on this, insisting that it's proof global warming isn't happening and all the expected bs.
if git was just ctrl+s or something similar (i.e. no more than a single keyboard shortcut sequence) then this whole problem would disappear, but because even in vscode it's "navigate to source control tab, ctrl+enter, enter enter(if something is not saved) "type some stuff" enter" it's too much to save "tiny" changes. not to mention reverts are a hassle.

because of this comment I just decided to create a keyboard shortcut for commits to be alt+cc so now it's a little easier, I still need to type a commit message and accept save and stage, but at least it's all doable from the keyboard.

Four quick (and final) points in response:

1) Your reply contains arrogance and a patronising sneer at myself. This is against this site's guidelines.

2) A quick perusal of your comment history shows more of the same attitude and also indications that you possibly work for Google.

3) You evidently didn't read the full article I linked to (only responded to the section I quoted) which is a very good analysis of this situation.

4) Preview links may drive some traffic to sites but most often ppl just respond to what's shown on FB (the headline, an image, and text snippet). So FB profits by mechanically condensing other parties' news stories on its site while posting ads against them, knowing that people most often won't go read the full story on the linked site and that they are driving an ever shallower take on the news.
