Yeah, idk why all of these comments are focused on time savings. That’s not the point.

The point is that when you wake up and it’s cold in your house, and you don’t want to get out of bed, you can flip on your heat and warm up the house while you’re still waking up.

Or if you left the house and forgot if you turned off the lights. Or left the AC on for the pets. Your 25 year old switches aren’t going to help you there.

Or another one I always use - if it’s raining out and I have full hands, I will unlock my front door before I get out of my car, so I can just walk right in.

Having at one point been Mormon myself...

The things that make Mormons great FBI agents also can be a double-edged sword. The stronger the devotion to the Church, the greater leverage for blackmail; anything that could preclude one from a temple recommend (or, even more severely, result in excommunication) can be used against a follower - be the naughty deeds actual or fabricated. This is less effective against higher-ranking members in the church (bishops, let alone their superiors up to the Quorum and the President, are well-positioned to be able to brush scandals under the rug), but could be absolutely devastating to your average Sister or Elder who could suddenly find oneself shunned by one's community and even one's own family. If I were a spy trying to compromise a Mormon FBI agent, that's exactly where I'd start: get some dirt, threaten to send it to the agent's bishop or disseminate it throughout one's Ward, and get cooperation.

Ok, we don’t know G all that well, but saying

> Their estimate deviates from the internationally agreed value (see go.nature.com/2bwkrqz) by about 9% — a small amount, given that the experimental uncertainties of their system have not yet not been optimized for precise measurements of G.

is just misleading. We’re pretty sure of the value of the gravitational constant to at least 4-5 significant figures. The experiment is cool but it’s not like it’s going to get us a more accurate value.
it's not really that. it's because of google's arcane search requirements. these authors want their results to appear high up in google search results and one of the ways to do it is to have all this accompanying text.

Can you imagine how a Texan operator of a SMR would have cut corners and what the damage to their plant would have been in this cold snap?

Remembering that the damage to Texan energy production was due to failure to winterise their equipment after the last two cold snaps. It has happened before, they were told it was going to happen again, but the legislature decided that it was best to let the market decide the outcome.

An SMR operator refusing to winterise their plant would end up in a similar situation: part of the equipment freezes or ices over (because antifreeze costs money), leading to an inability to scale up production until ambient temperatures rise far enough to defrost the frozen plant.

FWIW, that video doesn't change the meaning of the word to me. Still means cringe/unpleasant/racist to me. Every time I've seen 'based' used, it is nearly always followed by something cringe, unpleasant, or racist.

I've been using octoprint on my Ender3v2 from a Raspberry Pi 3B and I've never had such an issue in almost a year.

I use Marlin 2.0.1-bugfix branch for firmware because stock creality lacks some useful GCodes (such as for print pausing) but otherwise I did nothing special.

I'm also using OctoDash (https://github.com/UnchartedBull/OctoDash) on the Pi which is mounted onto the printer with the Raspberry Pi 7" touch screen (https://i.imgur.com/p8Mf5Em.jpg) and removed the stock screen.

actually adding 15,000 lb of battery to the truck reduces its efficiency significantly. Imagine loosing 15k of payload when you only had 60k to begin with, your new payload of 45k means you have to drive the route 4 times compared to 3 times for a diesel truck with our device.

Hopefully that makes sense.

Exciting! I look forward to trying it out. Having macros in Nim really does make it so much easier to extend. The writeup on writing a macro based DSL in Nim seems handy. Mostly I use the `template` form of simplified macros that cover most meta programming needs along with `const` and compile time execution. Nim has a full VM, so almost any codecan run at compile time.

There's also a new library for 2d graphics being written and figma like UIs: https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/7559 I'm hoping items like the DSL help people write more interesting Nim libraries.
Another jOOQ fanboy here - it's not just the manual that shows DSL->SQL, you can just .toString() most of jOOQ constructs in your code and get the raw SQL out.

That is where you get conflict. Too simple? Too inclusive? Too not? But it's the only place where you need one that doesn't mention biologists.

You have define entropy, then, which kids might not like much.

> A mere listing of ingredients is not protected under copyright law. However, where a recipe or formula is accompanied by substantial literary expression in the form of an explanation or directions

Very few recipes are just a minimal list of ingredients and steps though? I don't think this means you have to add your life story above it, just add enough explanation about the steps and it will be copyrightable. The recipes on Based Cooking will surely pass this.

It's not like many recipe websites have 100% original recipes they're trying to stop you stealing anyway. A website of unattributed stolen recipes probably isn't worth much as it won't have a reputation or branding.

I was in the back room of Epic Megagames in 97 when Tim Sweeney showed me his automatic LOD on the Skaarj model. It was pretty basic compared to the current tech, but I think remember him saying it didn't require lower poly meshes/maps to be generated by the animators/artists. I don't know if the LOD was pre-baked or not at the time, but given that we were running the first MMX chips it probably was.

There was a comment in a similar discussion a few days ago, attributing France's success in part to being able to sell excess nuclear power to neighboring countries, and those neighboring countries not themselves investing heavily in nuclear.

Basically, if France's neighbors tried to replicate France's success, they'd immediately run into the problem that they'd have to compete with France in the same power market. If building more nuclear reactors made economic sense in that market, France would (perhaps) already have done it.

I don't know how true that is, but it at least makes sense.

But lightning is where the gas has broken down, turning into plasma. Lightning is a growing conductor, like a motorized antenna on an oldschool car radio.

The growth of lightning is much like a growing metal dendrite-crystal.

Also, when lightning leaps rapidly upwards, the electrons INSIDE the lightning are flowing slowly downwards. The extending tip of a lightning-streamer is not an electric current, it's more like the moving tip of a growing fracture.

I’m always fascinated by people complaining about ‘woke identity politics’ usually when coming in defense of people who define their whole identity... as anti-woke. Maybe let’s admit that everyone is playing identity politics, it’s just that one side is too embarrassed to admit it after decades of virtue signaling ‘independent thought’.
It's pretty dreamy for us who wanted Rust to become "better C" but instead it became "better C++". Granted, that's what it was trying to become from the get-go, I just got confused and hopeful.

That’s not what the word means to you, that’s how you feel about content that the word is associated with. Just like “homeopathy” generally makes me think “pseudoscience” but really means “dilute a bunch of stuff and use it as medicine”. It’s natural to feel that content that is “based” to people who use that word is “cringe” to you because you disagree with their opinions on what is “based”, but it doesn’t change the meaning of based but instead means “I just think that thing is cringe myself”.
The features are coming out more slowly and it feels like things are asymptotically converging to what will be the language in 1.0
I'm so confused by Tesseract. With the correct language specific model the results are mostly flawless but then sometimes it goes like "...,,..,,[]////gtghth".
I wonder if that's a factor in the rise of new industry terms - I think devops is quite a good descriptor but it's still quite unnecessary, operations (or the like) is perfectly good - but, for a while at least, it does help mark you out from the crowd.
Since conditional logic can be implemented as and/or logic gates, FHE should still apply to them and should be quite general purpose. But I’m not an expert, and I think it would depend on the design of specific FHE schemes.
True. That is however countered by a vastly simpler language. Language support for deferred cleanups[0] helps a bit. Also the GeneralPurposeAllocator[1] contains memory safety debugging features that make analyzing such bugs bit nicer.

IMHO it's a significant net gain over something like Rust because of the simplicity for most of the problems out there. I got 99 problems but needing absolute memory safety ain't one.

I've heard that for a lot of cooking it doesn't matter, and for some it matters a lot.

A large category where it matters a lot (I've heard) is baking. If you're making a soup or a sauce or some mashed potatoes, most of your changes are predictable and linear -- less salt means less salty. Less butter means less buttery. But when you bake things interact in sharp ways, and the ingredients interact with each other in more interesting ways. Maybe "less predictably" with certain priors -- not in a strong sense (it's chemistry). But in a weaker sense, "why didn't it rise" isn't answerable by "didn't add enough X" for any fixed X, and in most recipes 2X won't mean "twice as much rising".
> conditional logic

Conditional logic can be expressed in terms of arithmetic:

if c then t else f = c*t + (1-c)*f

You can also do boolean logic:

NOT y = 1 - y
x AND y = x * y
x OR y = (x + y) - (x * y)

(Where 1 indicates truth and 0 falsity.)

What you can't do, however, is conditional execution, as this would leak information. Which doesn't limit the capabilities of the system in principle, but does in practice because this harms performance. E.G. ‘select count(*) from users where name = bob’ will be much slower with HFE than with a traditional database because there will be no possibility of using precalculated indices.

It got cheap and transportable. Gas is hard to transport until liquified, and having that process makes all the difference. Also, fracking - the reason the US has achieved energy independence, and that gas is so cheap.

Getting a more accurate value was not the point. Measuring a gravitational force between those tiny spheres, distinguishing it from experimental noise was the point. Impressive experiment. Deducing a value for g that’s not wildly wrong was the icing on the cake.
You can think of FHE as just "you can compute arbitrary polynomials over ciphertexts". You can't exactly get conditional execution using polynomials. Most people instead think of FHE computation as "arithmetic circuits".

Also, some schemes offer extra stuff for free. BFV (https://eprint.iacr.org/2012/078) for example lets you compute Frobenius endomorphisms very cheaply. That is, given ciphertext c, you can compute c^q without having to do log(q) many squarings, where q is the characteristic of your ring.

Sorry, what's misleading about this statement?
Maybe you're missing a key part: all wires are already full of electricity (full of electrons.) When a current starts up, it's the wires' electrons which start moving. In a circuit, no electricity is created and no electricity is destroyed, instead it just flows around in a complete circle.

So, when energy moves from a battery and flows outwards on both wires, also the "medium" is flowing inwards on one wire, outwards on the other.

An electric circuit is like a leather drive-belt. A generator is like a pulley.

When we force the pulley to turn, the entire drive-belt must turn also. The electrons are the leather, and they go slowly in a circle. But the "work" or the "horsepower" zips instantly along the belt, moving fast as the belt moves slow.

And, if we WIGGLE the first pulley, the belt also wiggles back and forth. Yet the "work" only flys outwards from the pulley, zooming off into the distance, regardless of which way the belt is turning.
I would interpret "newest" as "latest best suited" technologies. Well vetted would certainly factor into that choice.

In other words, new projects don't start with any dependencies on tools that are no longer considered the best for the job at hand.
