That said, hopefully that doesn't start a new cat and mouse game for ad networks? hah
Eliminate the foreign influence, and you will still have a corrupt system filled with fascist information. At the same time you will have undermined American companies since every other country will wonder when they're next.

I know it's easy to blame the other, but democracy rots from within.
I've used several battery powered grease guns. Some of them already have "measured output" modes. Have you looked into integration with those types of tools to automatically deliver the right amount to the serialized zerk?

Heavy industry is where things made of steel plate die hard deaths. How have you hardened your electronics? What's the price point owning the "system" when realized into a annual TCOO assuming a certain amount of tool breakage?
As a fellow redditor, I just wanted to say that your final paragraph perfectly puts to words my enjoyment of those wildly strange and wonderfully creative self-referential subreddits. So, thanks, for your words.

>>I believe there are really two positive things that can come out of going to college

While I agree with you and approached my university education with a practical attitude, a lot of people will see universities as providing "Experience": fun, entertainment, open-mindedness, socializing, parties, networks, etc.

Whether any of these practical or experiential goals are most optimally met, in terms of time/life/money/effort expanded, through modern University in 2021, is another worthwhile and heated discussion entirely :)
Do we really need a separate IP-based protocol? I was thinking a protocol parallel to hyper-text transfer like https but upgraded with the features being proposed here.
>> It hurts to admit that we're not replaceable, but we are

The more people, the less the individual is valued. But that does not make the individual less valuable. Unfortunately, for a few years now, respect for the performance and qualifications of others has been declining more and more. This increases the illusion that everyone could be replaceable. Just ask your family if they see it that way in relation to you; the illusion of replaceability definitely ends here.
It's value deprecates over time though, as it's market efficiency drops relative to newer cards.

Your return on the opportunity cost is maximized if you can do work closest to the time the card was acquired.

If you buy a card and leave it in the box for 10 years you have not 'consumed' the card, but you have wasted a few hundred dollars.

From an electricity and financial perspective if you have valuable work to do, your costs are minimized if you do that work closest to the purchase date.

This is obvious if you have a significant workload, but maybe not as obvious if you are running CAD.
Is the cost of a new card worth the time saved by the new card?
Significantly more efficient if you can keep it busy.
Hi Cash,
Yes, our system ensures that the correct grease is used and that the correct amount is applied at the right time.

I heard a story from a nearby power plant the other day of the incorrect grease being applied to a bearing. The two mismatched greases reacted poorly and turned to a wax inside the bearing. Needless to say, the bearing failed catastrophically very soon after.
Our system not only tracks the grease type digitally, but we also have colour coding on our tags and head units to help humans easily match colours to ensure they have the right grease in the gun too.

Cheers
You will be pleased to know that the majority of heat pumps are installed in homes whose exteriors stay above 0 kelvin year round. Also, in what I assume is an efficiency feature, most heat pumps do not allow operation in a zero Kelvin environment.

Also, to nit pick: Kelvins are not degrees and do not use a ° sign.
Its also a regulation issue.

Medical doctors carefully regulate the number of new doctors to keep wages high. Its difficult to get into med school but when you graduate you'll likely get a medical doctor job.

Public school teachers do not regulate the number of new public school teachers at all, and as such the state U system in my state produces roughly twice as many ed degree holders as there are jobs. Assuming hiring system is perfect (which it is not, LOL) the bottom half of ed grads in my state have to find non educational work. Four years of "show up on time and do what you're told" makes them good waitresses and bartenders in my experience, but on a civilizational basis it seems an incredibly waste of money and talent.

Ah, I see. That speaks to why I believe flowchart vocabulary is so common around me. I'm used to working in teams where UML would be largely unknown, whereas the flowchart(or basic BPMN¹) spans the non-compsci folk too.

I was hoping there would be something like this as well, all of the prolog interpreters out there are either too complex or do not explain how they work. I might have to write something myself as implementing your own (toy) interpreter is a good way to fully understand the concepts behind the language.

Definitely, should have written it down in my comment rather than describing my experience. This is a huge aspect of what grinds my gears.

But there's also some speech patterns that get on my nerves in public transport and it's not really (at least most of the time) a lack of consideration from the people though (but it happens way less often).
I had the same journey. Nexus/Pixels then the pixel 4 was too expensive for me so I got myself and the wife Nokia 7s.

Suffice to say that both Nokia devices failed due hardware failures of the charge port. This happened 3 times to 2 devices. One device also just bricked itself out of the blue one day and needed to be returned. All this in about 18 months. Not great.

We have now gone back to Pixel 3a (wife) and 5 (me). Probably won't go back to Nokia anytime soon - the hardware quality is just not there.
no, we have formal education because not everyone is an autodidact and may need actual help in evaluating and learning skills.

Many skills are not like computer programming. You're not learning physical therapy from coursera, or even something like human resources; some things you need others for to mentor, correct, guide, or provide facilities for.
The sweet spot in most models is a mix of hydro, batteries, and H2.

Hello everyone! I’m the engineer responsible for Acorn’s development. There are a lot of challenges in farming that call for new kinds of automated vehicles, so we’ve created Acorn, a precision farming rover.

I was impressed by the way the 3D printing community lowered the price of 3D printers from $25k to $300 over the ten years following the expiration of key patents. I’m curious if that kind of open community development can be repeated, so we’ve open sourced the whole design. We’re going to build a community of interested users, hackers, builders and developers to help solve what I think are some very difficult problems. Make sure to watch the YouTube video linked in our post or available here:

We've got lots of video of people being bludgeoned that day while thousands of people either stood by or encouraged it. It seems like the specifics of the injuries and their consequences is actually the silly thing to be arguing about.

This is thermal heating which is the very well known mechanism for non ionizing radiation to affect the body (microwave oven cooking).

Cell phones put out about 1000 times less power than your 100w ham radio. Which in itself is not enough to cause ocular heating damage unless perhaps it was within inches of your eye, I have never seen a case of it caused at that power level please point me to citations.

Remember these are omni radiators only a small fraction of the 100w ham radio power would strike your eye even inches away and it would fall off with the inverse square law.

Putting a 100w lightbulb against your eye would also cause damage or a 1 watt laser both due to ocular heating. This is all about the amount of wattage absorbed by your body tissue which is why exposure levels are rated in watts per kilogram, the more tissue the more power it takes to raise that tissues temperature to damaging levels. This is a why a focus laser with little power can cause damage vs a omni directional light or radio source.
How about just building a simple compost heap under the heatpump and using the hot air generated by that to ease the energy needs?
This was a fun exercise, definitely think this could be difficult to suss out for greener devs or even more experienced ones. It’d be hilarious to have this model power a live screensaver in lieu of actually being busy at times.
sorry :/ we just trust your government more than ours

That's ace when it loads, but modifying the time on the bar at the bottom of the screen makes the shadow disappear. I get a NaN in the URL which is presumably related (eg https://shademap.app/#47.62769,24.44286,4z,NaNt). Chrome 88.0.4324.182, OSX, no plugins to speak of. There's a bunch of 404s from Mapbox (eg https://api.mapbox.com/v4/mapbox.terrain-rgb/3/3/6.pngraw?ac...) but no other console errors.
At the root of this is who gets to interpret a (often vague, often overreaching) law. One could argue the courts and they certainly are the ones with the role of doing any final interpretation.

However, who decides to take someone to court, or apply the weight of a federal/state prosecution to someone in an attempt to do so? The on the ground executive agencies.

These agencies have wide latitude in interpreting what is or is not illegal, which could include asserting 'that is obviously not a machine gun' [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatling_gun] to 'this is clearly a machine gun' [this case], even to the point of changing their mind and now prosecuting previously un-prosecuted 'now' violations.

It takes a case going to court to get the courts to weigh in on it in general, and controversial cases often will not. A recent example of such a 'this is fine', 'actually this is not and we're going to retroactively go after you for this' is the Polymer80 raid [https://www.rgj.com/story/news/2020/12/15/dayton-based-gun-m...], where a manufacturer following prior ATF guidelines regarding what is or is not a gun to make kits for self-manufacture is now accused by the ATF of selling and shipping guns - when their own prior guidance say they are not guns.

There are plenty of laws right now in all jurisdictions that are enforced with no real belief a court would ever uphold an arrest if it got that far. One such example is Loitering laws which have been ruled unconstitutional for many reasons, including 1st amendment, and even when rewritten to avoid those problems [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_Chicago_v._Morales], get ruled unconstitutional for other reasons like being so vague no one has any reasonable idea if it would apply to them.

They provide a fig leaf of lawfulness and authority on what is fundamentally a way to assert control over a group, individual, or place, and deter unwanted (by the agency) activity through harassment.

The associated arrest records (if they exist, in many cases the offender is released before booking) can be a big problem during background checks, or even trigger statutory penalties that can stop someone from exercising civil rights like owning a firearm for self defense.

Even without arrest records or formal charges, being arrested and held up to just short of 2 days (in California), and 3 days in other locations, has a major effect on people. A 'chilling effect' to use a common term.

If it gets to court, and the court rules against the agency, they can pick another lever to use. The taxpayers usually pick up the tab. It is very rare it gets that far however.

(A bit of OT)... which is why I am considering SPAs to be complicit in 'evilness'. All these webpages that require js for no real reason is generally making the web insecure and implicitly hostile and difficulty to navigate.

Is that the largest single-day rise in BTC?
And the great paywall
The main causes of degradation in electronics are usually material failure due to thermal stress (cycles of expansion and contractor weaken the electrical pathways, resistance goes up, that causes more stress etc.) and electromigration due to over-voltage (the flux of electrons induces a shift in the position of the atoms it goes through).

Considering mining is a constant load (not much thermal stress) and improving efficiency requires lowering the voltage those aren't really concerns. There's far less risk than overclocking a GPU for gaming. The only electrical part that may be of concern would be the voltage regulation, but that's still an outlier as long as cooling is adequate.

Fans are know to fail because they're ran at high speeds all the time, but they're a commodity.

Wouldn't finding a well converting copy and targeting combo throw all the statistical significance issues out the window?

I mean you can start experiments with statistically significant results branching from that, but when you are tight on budget, and just want to start out, it might be better to just randomly find something which can get the ball rolling?
> Scientific consensus also not arrived at by publishing literally every crackpot idea, and answering each with "more discussion." Science has several mechanisms for "censoring" bullshit and misinformation (e.g. peer review), and it couldn't function without it.

What counts as a "crackpot idea?" We don't have to dabble in hypotheticals about JFK eating babies. We have real examples from current political events that show we're not talking about "slippery slopes" here. We have rolled down the slope with stunning speed.

In March 2020, the Surgeon General suggested that wearing masks was effective to prevent spread of COVID was a crackpot idea: https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/485332-surgeon-general... ("Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS! They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus[.]").

10 months later, the Surgeon General is calling that same assertion a "myth": https://twitter.com/surgeon_general/status/13189727242078986... ("There is a currently circulating MYTH suggesting masks don’t work to prevent spread of COVID-19.").

I have a degree in aerospace engineering--I totally get that scientific understanding evolves. But it doesn't evolve like that. The truth is that the Surgeon General's March 2020 statement was ill-advised and overly-certain, and so was the October 2020 statement. Whether masks are effective at limiting the spread of COVID is quite uncertain. Mask-wearing rates vary quite dramatically between countries with similar COVID death rates: https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2020/07/08/face-off.... By June 2020, the U.S. had mask-wearing rates of 75%. Denmark, Sweden, and Norway were under 20%. Out of those, Sweden and the U.S. have death rates (per population) 5-10 times higher than Denmark and Norway.

Despite that uncertainty, I think most people worried about "misinformation" would use mask-denialism as a motivating example for why restrictions are needed. So what are the restrictionists really advocating for here?
This was interesting for me, too. At the end of 2017 I moved into a new apartment, with a great view on a very busy road. I immediately felt much more "off". Maybe stressed in a way, but since I'm not usually the stressed kind, I had a hard time identifying the feeling.

At around the same time, the AC in the office developed a constant hum. This drove me nuts.

When I went to my parents' house in the suburbs, I could hear the silence and really, really enjoy it. I realized that basically, during a regular day, I could never get to spend a moment in silence. There would always be some kind of noise: traffic outside my apartment window, metro / bus / traffic during the commute, random people talking / AC hum at the office.

This made me wonder whether all the people that I see around me being constantly angry and "on the edge" might be that way in part because they basically never catch a break. They are constantly under this continuous noise. And I don't think we can really get used to it. I remember a friend said that I'd get used to the noise when I would complain. It's more than 3 years later, and it still annoys to me no end. I may sometimes forget the noise is there, but I think it still has its effect on my stress level. It's not like getting used to lifting weights or something to which the body adapts.
In a way, by not running useful work 100% of the time, you're wasting the resource of time.
"You have one qualification that shows they worked quite hard"

"It's a Bayesian problem"

This we agree on. But we have to factor in adverse selection. If you're a prestigious employer, adverse selection is going to be small to non existent. The Harvard grads joining Dropbox are going to be all excellent. If you're a tier-2 employer with no particular unique value proposition, a Harvard grad that is willing to join you isn't the same thing as a randomly selected Harvard grad (unless there's a compelling reason why they would want to join), let alone the same thing as a Harvard grad entering Dropbox. There are selection effects working against you as an employer.

I've seen this personally, working at a little known company in a traditional industry without much to offer, we hired a Princeton grad who we eventually found out was fired from a few places and turned out to be worse than useless. We got adversely selected. They only wanted to join us (instead of a "better" company) because they were the bottom 10 percent of their cohort (not necessarily in terms of GPA, but in terms of ability to make themselves useful).

Useless people from Ivies are rare, but they do exist, and if you're an employer facing adverse selection you become much more likely to end up with one of those.

(Actually, I've worked with useless people from Cambridge, Tsinghua, and a few other elite colleges, many of whom we had to fire. The common theme was that they couldn't get into a better company, and so they joined us)
Flipping this around, put yourself in this situation: you have five open positions, and expect 300 applicants. You have approximately 1 hour per day to interview, and need to fill the positions in 10-15 business days.

You would like to find people with the following characteristics: They can follow complex instructions with minimal oversight, they finish what they start, they have good social skills to work with colleagues and occasional outside parties, they are fully literate (i.e., spell well, read quickly, understand context), and can be trained and managed.

You're handed 300 resumes. How do you select the top 10-15 that are most likely to satisfy the requirements?

What would be your initial filtering criteria?

John Carmack's contribution to the field of video games was revolutionary. He was the pioneer who brought smooth side-scrolling to PC gaming (e.g. Commander Keen) as well as 3D graphics to video games (e.g. Wolfenstein 3D, Doom).

Seeing as how FPS games are one of the biggest (if not the biggest) genre of video gaming out there, Carmack has had an immeasurably massive impact on the industry.

It's fine if people want to just play games, but don't belittle the titan whose shoulder countless subsequent developers have stood atop.
Stepping away from science (research) for a minute, I think a far more silent “machine” that we implicitly depend on is the idea of industrial organization (a subtle blend of economics & technology) — industrial knowledge production (research), industrial engineering/technology from knowledge, industrial commercialization (startups, etc) — where “scaling” specialized entities becomes the paradigm, and hardly anyone understands the systemic complexity, or do much for themselves.

The lacunae in this model are far more subtle, and it is difficult to gauge when or how this might break down.
Scientists are typically not trained computer scientists. They do not care, nor appreciate these technical arguments. They have two datasets A, and B, and want their sum, expressed in a neat tidy form.

Python with Numpy perfectly service just that need. We all have our grief with the status quo, but Python needs data processing acceleration from somewhere. In my view, Python needs to implement a JIT to alleviate 95% of the need for Numpy.
Right, I was reading it as academia, so, sure strictly speaking, there's academy which is just a school, and academia which connotes fundamental researcher, literature scholars etc who may never teach.

The comment I replied to read as if they meant academia, not academy.
Have you tried using 'git commit --patch'? It makes it easy to separate out unrelated changes when committing. You can precede it with an invocation of 'git reset $HASH' to restructure your last few commits.

In general, more experienced git users aren't actually working on one commit at a time. They're just comfortable enough with editing history to make it look that way.
I get why Apple would want to cripple web APIs to the maximum extent possible, but I would expect Mozilla to push in the other direction. For every new API available in Swift or Kotlin but not JavaScript, the web slides further into irrelevance. It feels defeatist to say “you simply can’t have X on the web, because tracking,” when X is available to native apps.

Hi Sean,
Yes, we have a Milwaukee grease gun with the measured output. What our system has shown is that their "measurement" is not perfectly accurate all the time.

The biggest factor is the human performing the greasing remembering how much grease is required for each individual zerk and how often they require greasing. Reading the user manuals of some of this equipment shows that one machine might have 10 zerks that require 3 different volumes at 5 different greasing intervals. How can a maintenance operator be expected to remember all of that information for all equipment across the plant?
Managing this data is the core value that GreaseBoss delivers to the maintenance operators.
