> The police/prison industrial complex in the US is the worst in the world. It would be impossible to make it worse

No, it wouldn't. It's not even, right now, the worst it's been in the US. (It may be the most controversial it's ever been, but that's because standards have evolved faster than it has, not because it has gotten worse.)

It may be (but probably
If you mean for script portability: you can still easily call scripts with bash directly. For scripts that modify the environment, use bass.

If you mean that you still have to use bash on other machines: yeah, I feel you there.

At least for me, I'm fortunate that if I end up using a machine frequently, I can just install fish and add my config/dot files.
In the US vehicle registration and vehicle inspection are state-by-state. California, while known for its strict emissions requirements, has no other vehicle inspection. Surprised me when I moved there!
Hydrogen fuel cells on a hydrogen blimp make a remarkably decent amount of sense.
I'm not sure if this is quite whats being implied, but I can definitely see loading up supplies, floating to a disaster area, dropping supplies, & spending a while acting as a power station as useful & sensible. This particular mission cycle involves dropping a bunch of cargo before starting to burn your float/power reserves, which makes consuming your float sound less crazy. Not sure how these things work, but alternatively, if it's fixed volume, you're not even consuming your float: you're trying to pull vacuum where you had gas. Not sure how do-able that is!

Hydrogen zeppelins could also works around one of the unfortunate down-sides of a potential hydrogen economy, which is that typically one has to (non-recoup-erably) pour a bunch of energy into making the hydrogen one is generating transportable/compressed: here there's a balloon one can fill effortlessly. Attach a hose & open a hatch in the bottom.

The article talks about the current fuel cell systems only being 250kW (equal to ~336 HP). For reference, the Hindenberg (unforunate reference point but whatever) used 4 x 890 kW (1200 HP) diesel engines. It does make me think an airship would be absolutely drinking the heck out of it's own float to move, but hopefully the cruise demands are much much lower. Ah, ok: this page[1] alleges the cruise power was 610 kW / 820 HP. Could be worse!

Sorry for the confusion! There are plenty of space vehicles that have had "down-mass" capacity - Gemini, Soyuz, Apollo, Dragon, Shuttle, X-37B, etc. They are all spacecraft, although Shuttle is a close in-between. The distinction here is this is a true upper stage, which can also return items from orbit.

We are looking to serve a complementary market to New Glenn and are not planning to fly on that vehicle.
Isn’t this the difference between N=1 and N=1000? If you run an experiment once, you could get lucky and by constraining the timeframe, you prevent the law of averages from catching up to you.

However, try sufficient number of times or for sufficiently long, and you will face gambler’s ruin.
Sort of. I'm pointing out what seems to me to be an incorrect statement in the article. I think it's reasonable to have special terminology for the sequence of contiguous integers which can be represented exactly in the Number type. Safe seems a reasonable choice, provided it's used carefully.

MAX_SAFE_INTEGER seems a better choice of identifier than something like MAX_VALUE_OF_EXACTLY_REPRESENTABLE_CONTIGUOUS_SEQUENCE_OF_INTEGERS, of course, despite that it's less precise. (Even that absurdly long identifier isn't perfectly precise, as we can define a trivial sequence of a single value like Number.MAX_VALUE.) The documentation explaining it should be precise, though.

bash is installed by default on pretty much everything but for fish I need to un-learn bash shenanigans like `esac` which I fear would hurt more than help in general.

Either that, or maybe I'm just lazy and missing out on a nice tool...
It deserves a try! However don't get tempted to think that Fish is Bash drop-in replacement, personally I can not be more disagree with that idea.

Bash is a pretty useful and powerful scripting too, especially in server side (among other big list of stuff as you know).

It’s interesting that could translate into a gift culture for social status hierarchy, and it kind of makes sense.

Can someone play devils advocate and explain why NFTs might be the next big thing? From what I can tell it’s really the only way to prove ownership of a digital good and have the ability to sell it (outside of the legal system).

You might also like to look into the EU consumer protection rules, particularly the Consumer Rights Directive and its respective implementations in the member states and the UK. There is quite a lot of specific information that must be provided to customers during the buying process, and there are some serious penalties available if a merchant is found not to have done so.

In particular, if a customer might have seen multiple prices for the same thing around the time of purchase, for example on a pricing page checked on a phone and then on a checkout process completed on a PC, you would surely want to have solid evidence that the actual price charged had been clearly understood and accepted at the time of payment.

Per capita resource consumption dominates raw population to a surprisingly large extent. Bangladesh vs Denmark + Norway seems like a contrived example doesn't it? A population of 163 million for the former vs a combined 11 million for the latter. And yet total consumption based CO2 emissions are about equivalent. It's even worse when you look at production based emissions. Bangladesh emits less than half the total of CO2 vs Norway + Denmark. Take a look at this page and do the math:

I have only worked with Haskell on a personal basis, trying to understand if purity has any actual advantages. I have yet to be persuaded about the need to have code be pure. I never had any issue reasoning about impure code, and I do not find that the impure style has actually benefited me in any way. My logic bugs still continue to appear in pure code.

What I really find annoying is when I have to update state. I always have to write tones of functions in order to re-synthesize the data after the smallest change, and the deeper the data model tree is the more functions are needed.

Did I ever have any benefit from using the IO monad or the state monad? I don't know..it seems to be the number of bugs between my non-IO code and my IO code is roughly the same.

Perhaps it shines on a collaborative level...I don't know, I never had the chance of writing Haskell code with other people.

> Further, if I take a high resolution photo of you, and then go to your mom and ask for money by presenting her the picture, she won't accept that picture as proof that I am you (although she may suspect I'm blackmailing or otherwise threatening you). This, moreso than qualms about the resolution/quality of the sensor is the GP's point. If the sensors are accurate, that specific set of bits that is translated as your fingerprint will not change. If someone knows those bits, it's extremely likely they can convince the sensor they are you. From our example, once I have your picture, I can tell your mother I'm you--and she'll believe me!

I Just read this press release, Only first stage of Neutron is reusable like Falcon 9. So No it will not be fully reusable like Star-ship.

Relevant paragraph: The medium-lift Neutron rocket will be a two-stage launch vehicle that stands 40 meters (131 feet) tall with a 4.5-meter (14.7 ft) diameter fairing and a lift capacity of up to 8,000 kg (8 metric tons) to low-Earth orbit, 2,000 kg to the Moon (2 metric tons), and 1,500 kg to Mars and Venus (1.5 metric tons). Neutron will feature a reusable first stage designed to land on an ocean platform, enabling a high launch cadence and decreased launch costs for customers. Initially designed for satellite payloads, Neutron will also be capable of International Space Station (ISS) resupply and human spaceflight missions.

> Bangladeshis spent the second half of the twentieth century having about 6 kids each

This is not true. That was true in 1950, started to drop in 1970. Now it is 2.04 kid per woman. And when you compare contemporary consumption of Danes, you have to compare it with contemporary consumption of Bangladeshis.

Currently, the fertility rates are 1.73 vs 2.04 kid per woman. Which is much smaller difference.

That's always a fun blast from the tech hype past where nanotechnology was going to be pure magic with tiny machines capable of doing anything. That was an exciting possible future while it lasted, nanotechnology is doing neat stuff but it's nowhere close to the wild promises.
just a little related: I watched a guy step'n'watch the no-symbols code once after he hooked WINDBG up to an MS Office process that had a paint issue. He narrowed it down to something IME was doing -- I gained nothing but awe.
Fish made me write better bash scripts because it gave me a proper understanding of IFS, test, and other shell “basics” since it removes a layer of automagic by simplifying the syntax. Eg fish discourages the use of `if [` and it makes you realize that the bracket isn’t a grammatical construct but rather a terribly named command.
> This feels like rapidly shifting goalposts from my statement about energy being local and the local private energy companies cheaping out because they could

It's not shifting the goal posts. A company that feeds into a market with 26 million customers is not so "local" that a free market can't work. That's bigger than most countries. And you've offered no evidence that a public utility would not have "cheaped out" on weatherization.

> Yes, a lot of people live in denial. In security-related areas of all kinds where the ROI is largely unobservable loss prevention, that's why leadership-level people know to ask for budget immediately after any incident... because important stuff doesn't get funded otherwise.

Disaster after disaster happens, and important stuff still doesn't get funded in the public sector. There is a $100 billion shortfall in water system funding: https://www.infrastructurereportcard.org/cat-item/drinking_w.... Did the Flint water crises have any effect on that? No. Because political entities that are accountable to voters for water rate increases aren't any more willing to invest in risk mitigation than private companies.

> And agreed, I'm not a superfan of Amtrak. There's a wide spectrum on how to do things.

Most public infrastructure in the United States is run like Amtrak. The D.C. Metro had to shut down automated train control (self-driving), which was a feature built into the system in the 1970s, because they had let the track sensors deteriorate so much. We had to shut down the subway in D.C. for weeks at a time a couple of years ago because it was literally killing people. New York's subway system is in the same sorry state: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/7/11/15949284/n...
I didn't have it as hard as the parent, but I remember choosing between bus fare and meals quite a few times. My first paycheck was spent on white bread and a tube of sausage, and now I live a pretty comfortable life.

Most everyone in my orbit has improved their situation too. Sometimes that was with help from a family member, but generally things have gotten better for friends who were in the same circumstances I was.

The two exceptions are those who got into drugs and never got out (a few folks I know seemed to never have issues, but they're the exception and not the rule) and a single friend who has some non-drug problems that probably need counseling work.

Yes it is quite easy to switch algorithms via the "gpr" parameter. You just have to write a wrapper class. I am currently working on a repository that discusses how to do that in detail: https://github.com/SimonBlanke/surrogate-models

I think those wrapper-classes will already answer some of your questions. If you have additional or unanswered questions you can open an issue in the Grad-Free-Opt repository.

> If anyone is reading this and is using vi mode with bash or zsh, give fish a try, it's so much better!

Great to hear that. I am using vi key bindings wherever it's possible, for example, text editing, Firefox(vimium) and file manager(ranger). But I have never been able to figure out how to use vi mode effectively in the shell prompt. The last time since I tried vi mode in shell was at least 5 years ago. I could roughly remember that vi mode bindings conflicted with certain oh-my-fish plugins I had installed. Even worse factor was that, I didn't know how to do certain things in vi mode, for example "M-." key to yank last argument from previous command. So I gave it up in the end.

Would you mind sharing what plugins do you use? And how do you work efficiently with vi mode? Thanks ahead.

The concept of Talent Stacking: https://personalexcellence.co/blog/talent-stack/

Those who accrue and leverage a variety of skills tend to get 'lucky'. This is why you could strip most entrepreneurs of all their money and assets, and not be surprised to see them enjoying success in 5 years. You put into place a system that makes making the right decisions inevitable, and learning from the wrong decisions.

To believe that your success is out of your hands is incredibly disempowering. I understand it's primary function is to help you empathize with others, but it subconsciously has a hold on you. A very limiting belief, I'd 'yeet' it immediately.
I agree that it is a shame that many people make over-confident predictions such as “in exactly 10 years, X will happen”. You often have to dig when reading a story to find out which parts are strongly supported by our scientific understanding, which can be frustrating.

However, nonsense like that doesn’t change the fact that more co2 in the air increases the Earth’s temperature. And unfortunately we don’t seem to be that interested in significantly reducing our emissions anytime soon.
