Oh. Yes, those DMR radios have T9 keypads. Its awful, but the best we have.

For analog APRS, which as I said has questionable reliability (for many reasons), you can use a smartphone app (like APRSDroid) and either an audio cable to the radio (the smartphone acts as a software TNC that will generate the signal, the radio modulates it on the carrier), or a separate hardware TNC which connects to the radio via audio, but to your phone in another way such as bluetooth low energy (like Mobilinkd TNC3). Then you can type on your phone. (In that case, the protocol is still done by the phone, the TNC only generates the signal, the radio modulates it. Which is annoying due to power consumption.) (Analog APRS support which is built in to radios is usually position report only, not messaging.)
All the while you’re doing that, plant life would be booming, and after a sufficient period of time would capture enough of that CO2 again to make it possible for non-plant life to once again flourish.
>Transaction fee savings for businesses and organizations accepting Nano as payment

Can someone sense check me? So following that argument, a payment processor (e.g. Amazon, Stripe, all the way down to the mom and pop stores) would be incentivized to run a node in order to accept Nano and be part of the Network. Correct? But hypothetically...if Stripe knows that Amazon is running a node, why would Stripe run its own node? And if Stripe isn't running a node, why would a smaller player want to participate? I'd love to understand this as it's my only missing gripe with Nano.
They may have delivered low prices, but it was at the cost of ignoring handling “black swan” events. As the ERCOT CEO said, If they had not blacked out millions of customers, grid and consumer equipment would have been destroyed - wiping out all the accumulated cost savings.

ERCOT does not pay producers for standby capacity. Just this week the New England grid completed its annual auction for capacity to be available 3 years from now. The prices they will pay are between $3-$5/MWhr. Maybe a little more than electricity in TX in 2024 (but who knows). No power plant operator is going to hit the $9,000/hr “gusher”, but it will be available and they will get paid.

In some ways though inflation is on/off. There have been a number of events in US history where inflation went from “ off” (sub 5%) to “on” (>10%). No one is worried inflation will rise to 2% they’re worried it’ll rise to 20% (or as BTC holders think - 2,000,000%)

I don't see the array access as any different than a null pointer dereference, in both cases you are asking for something that isn't there.

In Tcl, stuff just gets auto expanded on assignment and returns "" (I think) on dereference. We chose to return undef. I'm not sure what the problem is.

I do not know if this is helpful for your situation, but I keep my laptop [Windows 10 Professional] always on. I always keep my Synology NAS on. I usually remotely access these devices on my iPhone or my iPad. I prefer the iPad though. I essentially VNC in, and I then get on the internet via Firefox Desktop with extensions loaded.

Sometimes the remote connection is not an ideal situation. I keep a Rock Pi X, with a Windows 10 variant loaded on it, with me, when I am out and about.

You are totally right that the original intention of meditation is quite the opposite. No app, gadget or anything else required.

Edit: Grammar
The adversarial ML arms race seems similar to the rest of the security/privacy arms race, where these endeavors will make recognition stronger, not weaker, similar to how any other manual red team attacks ultimately get (a) automated and (b) incorporated into blue team's automatic defenses.

Hard to see why that wouldn't be the case, esp. for techniques that are general, vs. exploiting bugs in individual models. As long as a person can quickly tell the difference, it's in the grasp of deep learning for ~perception problems, and the economics of the arms race determines the rest of what happens when..

Honestly, I reach a very different conclusion. Comparing ERCOT to other grids (PJM or CALISO), ERCOT system has delivered very low prices and very high levels of renewable penetrations. PJM wastes billions of dollars a year in capacity payments to coal plants for no reason.

What you write, "The market in power should only exist to optimise" well, that is exactly what ERCOT does.

As for the disaster last week, that was a energy system failure as Texas regulations did not require the natural gas infrastructure to be winterized. Climate change creates more extreme weather events (in all directions but on average warmer) so polar air meant there wasn't enough methane ('natural gas') to power the turbines and heat.

So the issue is the winterization standard in the natural gas infrastructure, but nothing about the structure of the electrical market.

Certainly we need stronger resiliency standards! Events people once thought occurred "1-in-100 years" are actually like "1-in-5 years" in their frequency. And this will only get worse. But that's not a market structure issue it's a standards issue.

Right. I’m naive in assigning more capability to these models than they posess.

I found a quote from Geoff Hinton where he talked about this last year.

From [1]: “I can take an image and a tiny bit of noise and CNNs will recognize it as something completely different and I can hardly see that it’s changed. That seems really bizarre and I take that as evidence that CNNs are actually using very different information from us to recognize images,” Hinton said in his keynote speech at the AAAI Conference.

“It’s not that it’s wrong, they’re just doing it in a very different way, and their very different way has some differences in how it generalizes,” Hinton says.

Image recognition is currently done with so called weak UI. It was not a popular term, however it became such some years ago so that marketing can sell machine learning as an artificial intelligence.

However machine learning is nowhere near what we consider as an AI, equivalent of our intelligence.

You can compare machine learning with training a hamster to jump on a command. If you will repeat learning process a lot of time hamster will jump. But change anything in the environment and he won't.

Machine learning is just a hamster that is trained thousands of times.

It can do one thing, sometimes quite good, but still it is as intelligent as a hamster.

Machine learning does not aim to become an intelligence. It is just a well trained hamster. Nothing more.

It is just a fuzzy algorytm.

That is why it is so easy to fool the algorytm. I hesitate to call machine learning any kind of AI just for the reason it generates such confusion.

If it comes to developing real AI we are nowhere near currently. However we enjoy machine based models that are easier to brute force train with processing power he have today

> I think we are experiencing extreme inflation, just not in CPI goods, but rather capital assets

Assets don't provide direct utility, asset price inflation isn't inflation as that term is understood without modification, the same reason that producer price inflation and other inflation outside of consumer goods and services is. It's definitely a thing that occurs, but it doesn't have the same effects and trying to conflate them is just equivocation.

> Just look at the IPO landscape,

The cycles in the IPO landscape and stock market trends for fairly early-stage but post-IPO firms probably relates more to waves of enthusiasm about promising new immature sectors (and the erosion of those enthusiasms) than monetary policy; the dotcom boom had all the same things you say about the current time, despite much tighter monetary policy with Fed funds rates in the 5% range rather than hovering around 0%.
Similarly a colleague just told me yesterday about a data vendor who is sending data over on a almost nightly basis. They changed the process/format - without notifying anyone - and things broke.

End users of my colleague's application were now saying they were seeing inactive client data coming up in their app, and it was causing confusion.

During the time trying to figure out the new behavior, the main client finally got something in writing about "here's how it works" from the data vendor...

* Rule 1...

* Rule 2...

* Rule 3: If a client record has not had any data updated, we will only send over the client name and header info, but no additional data records will be sent over.

* Rule 4....

* Rule 5: If a client record is no longer active in the system (for example, has been deleted), we will only send over the client name and header info, but no additional data records will be sent over.

Questioning back to the original data provider - if we get a client name and header info, but no additional data records - what does that mean? Does it mean the client is inactive/deleted, or simply that they've had no data change since yesterday?

Absolutely no coherent response, and I doubt there will be one. The defense of "no no, we have to keep stupid behaviour around because people rely on it!" doesn't even stand - this change came about in the last couple weeks, after having worked this way for more than a year.

It's both maddening and frightening how fragile so much daily data exchange is.
In 1996, I wrote programs in TP 6.0 on a 486DX2/66 with 4 MB RAM. The IDE weighed in at a few megs, compiled my stuff in less than a second, and produced standalone .EXEs that ran on every DOS PC.

In 2021, I'm writing programs for iOS in React Native. I need Xcode that weighs in at ~8GB _compressed_, node.js, and RN plus the whole slew of dependencies. On my 2020 Intel Mac mini w/ 32 GB of RAM, Xcode takes multiple minutes to build just the native part of the project from scratch.

Where, where on earth did I go wrong?
This is basically why I quit doing it for money. It felt like taking this amazing, yes, romantic, thing, and perverting it until it is barely recognizable. Writing code that I knew from the onset would never last more than a year or two, would not see the light of day beyond inside its small nook. And in the end, we accomplished little more than moving money around and persuading other humans into doing things which were bad for them.

It took me several years to get over the numbness I developed after years of that crap, but now I'm in love again.

This link is specifically for real-time market pricing. This is a marginal rate.

Presumably, power companies locked in their pricing using the day-ahead rates yesterday according to their forecasts and risk models. Now there is a surplus of energy production, and it actually makes sense to pay companies to take that electricity out of the grid.

You can see the current day-ahead rates by selecting DAM-SPP from the Select Data dropdown at the bottom.

The negative marginal rates is an interesting phenomenon, of course, but the real-time marginal rates alone don't show the whole picture.

> The free software philosophy allows game art to be proprietary.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this. The Free Software Definition does not allow this. If code is contributed to 0AD under the GPL, they could not combine it with proprietary graphics.

The GNU Free System Distribution guidelines allows for the inclusion of game art that is under a license that does not permit modification. However any such art must be redistributable for commercial and noncommercial purposes at no charge.

> They could sell DRM-free copies on their site that license the game art but keep the code free.

This violates the spirit of free software.

> I'm not sure why they don't do this.

I think they want the game to be free.
> Because there is no I in AI.

This. In a nutshell every sort of algorithm we call "AI" today is reductive pattern matcher. This limitation isn't due to computational capacity or even, IMO, algorithm design, but due to our collective lack of understanding of how intelligence itself works. We'll get there eventually, but not for a long while.
> Having a community makes a difference. Perhaps you should try it sometime?

I'm familiar with the 'it doesn't affect me so you must be doing something wrong' attitude. And the dig about me not having a community... was that necessary?

Citywide package theft rates are up. Calling the police only works in a district that effectively deals with it. We don't bother in our neighborhood anymore because the police don't do anything about it. Most folks in my neighborhood have no lobby at all and the packages are left on their doorstep. Our "lobby" is large enough to open the outer door into and that's about it. It has no security, nor can we get any as our building owner doesn't want to deal with it. And I know my neighbors. They knew when we recovered from Covid-19 so we could help them with stuff since we had antibodies. They know I have Naloxone if any of them have an opioid emergency. And the super knows I have more tools than him so he can borrow them when he needs to. I helped him with the recycling the other day because his back was out.

At this point, the trick to creating a sizable git alternative I think is to Trojan horse coding into a new realm with “no-code” like apps.

I just recently learned C and I really like the coding style Hipp uses as well. :)
As a tamil myself I do not necessarily expect that, since each South Indian language is very different.

Hindi translates easily to tamil, compared to English. I do not approve of forcing a language, however I do not see it being forced in anyway.

Contrast that with forcing native people to fill bank forms in English, or the fetishization of urudu.

Forcing is unnecessary as people are understanding the utility of hindi.

> For what? For nothing, just because. Don’t seek a rational explanation, you won’t find it. It doesn’t exist.

Having a child is type of experience and commitment that has no parallel in any domain of life. It shapes you in certain ways if you are devoted to it. I want to be that type of person because I recognize some qualities that I admire (like being way less self-centric).

My body is designed so that it can do this. Hence, not having children is against the design. Its like using oven as newspaper holder - nothing wrong with that, but using oven by design is something else which you can't really describe to non-oven people who never tasted cooked dishes. However, it takes time and there are number of responsibilities involved and there are huge number of people who think its just waste of time when they can simply go burger king or avoid eating at all until they must.

That is not nothing.

Yes, it can go bad, like anything else in life. You can die in fire using oven too.

I think this is rational explanation.

So called "Socratic procreation" (in short, where your procreate via recognized work/ideas instead of sexual act) on the other hand, is IMO meaningless (and maybe even compensation) for the very reasons mentioned in the blog post.

That said, I do want to have a health span (not life span) as long as possible and that has nothing to do with all of this. I can freeze my head in a jar but that doesn't really count as health (while it could be counted as life).
How long would it take you to build everything you get from RN and all the libraries in TP6?
