"Transportation of the processed or unprocessed seaweed should be kept to a minimum, so cultivation in the region of use is recommended specially to avoid long-haul shipping."

"Asparagopsis taxiformis, (red sea plume or limu kohu) formerly A. sanfordiana, is a species of red algae, with cosmopolitan distribution in tropical to warm temperate waters."[0]

This seems to be a pretty big hurdle to overcome. Either all the cows are going to have to move toward the warm oceans or we will have to figure out how to grow the algae near the cows, both of these are huge undertakings.

In the US we have the similar crappy situations. No competes come to mind. Healthcare tied to employment (what if you wanted to start your own business?) is another.
I have literally no skin in the game here, but here's another interesting group that totally bailed on a similar project because I guess they hated Julia so much. Good to see something else crop up.

Already booked out, and also locality matters a lot. On the internet, a live stream only takes <1s to reach me, while I have to find a dentist in my own area.
That's interesting that they said it was caused by overactive platelets. When I first heard about the AZ concerns a week or two ago, they specifically called out the clots as being abnormal because they had fewer platelets than they would expect.
> "he once hit on me and I had to reject him". The latter is perfectly normal behavior unless you propose we criminalize being a man.

If you are a superior to the person in question, I don't agree that it's normal behavior. In that case you put that person in a very tough position. Same for teacher/student.

That's also why a lot of companies have a policy against that. Notice how I didn't specify the genders, since it doesn't really matter.
It formalizes how data is created, accessed and modified. Instead of multiple places trying to modify some specific data ad-hoc and with possible collisions/changes, now you have a mores strict way of dealing with data.

Basically the Flux architecture. See from 10:20:

He is using exactly that already.
Amazing shot - I wonder what a thermal image would look like of the same scene. Must be pretty hot flying over top of that lava.
That’s what we said about phone companies. They were the canonical example of natural monopolies and packet switching + VOIP dropped the costs down to nearly zero. We videoconference across continents instead of $3 a minute audio that ties up the lines.

Energy generation and cell signals should be decentralized. We have 5 transformers in the USA that — if they go down — the entire grid goes too. An EMP or Carrington Event can take out long running power lines. A Chinese “stuxnet” can sabotage nuclear reactors etc.

Unrelated to the initial post.

> The problem with simple solutions is that they are near guaranteed to not actually be feasible or realistic.

This. There is no amount of money anyone sane can be given to stay in Romania. Most recently i’ve read they (hospitals) were tying covid patients to their beds.

Couldn't help but comment on this as some of things i discovered are shocking for an eu member country (or any country for that matter), such as EU leading human trafficking, police corruption, collapsing health care, and the list goes on.

But sure, the simple solution is to give people money, not the constant abuse taking place at work and outside that makes people want to flee that place.
NASA budget is a tiny fraction of the overall defense budget. Question things like military spending before you question NASA.

IIRC, during the Iraqi invasion, the US was spending a full space shuttle per month to find no WMD's in the end.
Does Go have tail recursion? I'm guessing not since Go isn't big on the "optimization" part.
You mean convince people to stop eating meat?

It's already happening. At least in germany the number of vegan meat alternatives has exploded.

These used to be niche products, you could only get in specialty stores. Now there's whole supermarked isles dedicated to them.

The solution is pretty simple.

Stop subsidizing meat and diary farmers.
Stop their lobbying, which results in ridiculous laws like the ones in the EU, where you're not allowed to call Almond-milk Almond-milk, because the diary lobbied for "milk" to be a protected term.

Put that money into vegan alternatives, and people will buy them automatically.
Perhaps they are giving you a bit of stallman-esk justice? Mincing the words was somewhat “the thing”.

It’s scary to have any of these conversations. They need to happen, we also need to recognize that this is a gray scale of human experience and that the response isn’t “fired or glorified”
To be fair, improving ICEs have been a massive help for mitigating climate change. Going from 60s muscle cars to current day hybrids has undoubtedly helped with NOx emissions.

Adding algae to feed might not get rid of meat production altogether, but it is a good transitional step.
you could use an `else` clause for the scope:

if foo, err := doThing(bar); err != nil {
// handle error
} else {
// handle foo
}

but most don't use that form and just do the call outside:

foo, err := doThing(bar)
if err != nil {
// handle error
}
It is not how it happened at all. EMA looked at this and said – it is possible that these cases are related to vaccine but it doesn't change that the benefit overweighs risk and there was no reason to stop the vaccine. Informing patients about new rare side-effects of new drugs is done all the time. Normally there is no reason to suspend the drug globally every time a rare side effect happens.
Synthetic fuel and biofuels will probably be required for several decades until legacy equipment like farming machinery (not to mention military veichles) has been replaced/modernized. Regular cars, on the other hand, will probably be mostly electric within 15-20 years.

The main issues are power-grid development and EV range. I suspect those problems will be handled within 10 years.
Use the soy we are feeding cattle to feed humans directly. Cut out the middleman - lots of resources freed up all of a sudden.

Keep subsidies to beef low and increase subsidies for plant protein (peas, beans, soy).

Encourage healthy plant-based diets all over the world.

Profit from the vast areas saved to start reforestation projects.
And this is exactly what I expect from this product: make an educated guess based on existing corpus, not some ideal social situation we should be aiming at.
Almost every ad network does give you some type of API like what you're talking about, but unfortunately they usually actively discourage use of it.
A cursory glance at the article would reveal that they are not completely ending the development either, only development of new "engine families".

> "At the moment, I do not expect a completely new engine family to be launched." Still, he wants to develop the engines currently in use and prepare them for new emissions standards such as Euro 7
Chipset developers like Silicon Labs* are developing very advanced but approachable security capabilities into their latest products (secure boot, secure debug, physical protection (DPA countermeasure, anti-tamper), key management, key storage, crypto engine, etc.)*.

The tools are there now to address this, and this should go a long way toward actually securing the application, the data, the IP, and overall simplify lifecycle management.

So we could all go vegan, skip off our normal diets, a huge change to the world OR china could stop running their very dirty coal plants.

Please stop making everything _my_ problem when other countries do not give a rats ass.
> But 3 months seems crazy to me.

What you might not realise is that these three months would be the default legal position in case of disagreement. If you want to leave earlier and the employer agrees, you can usually leave earlier, too (with them being off the financial hook).
Not been near a volcano, but Iceland also has a very sulphuric smell in general, like eggs almost. It is in everything like the air and the water.
Does rust have this issue? Anyone with experience?
What did you think was going to happen, though? :-)

If EVs become good enough, investing in ICE at previous levels is unsustainable.

Plus we have a ton of cool tech that's barely used today (steam engines, for examples). That's why we have museums.
> Since data is not encapsulated inside React component tree, I found it to be multiple times faster than when using Context.

What do you mean by data being encapsulated in the tree? How does that make it slower?
This doesn't change my opinion. This is like saying, "The soviet union gulags their people too and did it first. It's fine."

Whataboutism re: corporate control of web standards.
Not sure where you are from originally, but the US is fairly unique in the world when it comes to these things.

IBM Watson, Google, Azure, and AWS all have speech-to-text APIs. IBM's claims to distinguish between different voices, although when I used it a couple of years ago for Japanese it was a little lackluster. It's pretty inexpensive: IBM gives you 500 minutes free per month and is a few cents / minute thereafter; Google you gives 60 minutes free, and it's 4c/min thereafter. It's an API rather than a service, so you'd have to write a client to use it. IBM's API (and maybe the others) allows you to request time stamps on the output, so you could let people click on your transcription and seek directly to the part of the video they are interested in.

I suppose you could always do it on your own machine with Sphinx, too, although I don't know how they compare to the others in accuracy.
The known effects of LC are horrendous: permanent damage to the brain, heart, lung, kidneys, liver, and pancreas.
One of the biggest risk factors for COVID and especially for poor outcomes is Vitamin D deficiency, but this study apparently didn't even check Vitamin D levels. That seems like a serious oversight.
Don't expect the conclusions of people that have decided they don't like meat to change. Only their rationales.
I think farming it at scale is something some groups are already pursuing—likely mainly because it could mean big, big business.

I'm out of my depth, but is there any reason it couldn't be farmed in a hothouse?
I have only marginal experience with both but.. isn't this the case also with java nowadays?
Has anyone checked if the animals also end up healthier?
What do you mean by “contracting” in quotes?
Three points:

1: 7.86% of all deaths in the UK were under 60 [1]. Unfortunately, I don't see any data on comorbidities easily available, but I'd expect similar rates of them in the UK vs NO, DK, etc. and so I'd expect similar rates of death in the agre groups. Note that I don't doubt your general point that covid is vastly more deadly to the elderly, but I do not believe 1 in 13 supports your statement that "close to zero healthy people below 60 have died from Covid in the west".

2: Considering deaths alone is a woefully inadequate measure of the impact of covid on people. There's countless reports of ongoing issues [2] after 'recovery', and we have absolutely no idea what the long-term implications are. By letting it pass through populations with a low mortality rate, you're gambling against possible long-term health implications that will impact whole populations on an ongoing basis.

3: I am not sure how your 1 in 25,000 rate of sudden death matches with the fact that England has vaccinated 6,169,566 people under 55 [3] as of 14/03. Your rate would imply we'd have seen close to 250 sudden deaths out of England alone. A cursory search doesn't find me any numbers, so please point me towards any you may have, but I would be astounded if news media weren't reporting on that sort of rate of deaths.

I'm not going to pass judgement either way on the equations of how many vaccine-related deaths are comparable to 'natural' covid deaths or long-term illnesses, however I felt those three points were worth making, particualrly given they affect fundamental assumptions you make, or data you cite.

Having the police close off the whole area around the eruption is simply not feasible.

The view here in Iceland is more that people should heed the advice given, and use good judgement if they decide to go see the eruption anyway.

Certain areas are closed off though, and the police and SaR teams will interact with those who go there.
Yeah, not im my circles. Being old comes with quirkinesses and one of these is the _need_ to handshake. We have build relations based on it, we've made deals based on it and made up based on it.

Surely it was a little less during the initial days of this pandemic, but it is all but gone now.
I discuss Charles Bloom's 2011 article in some detail on my page. The original "magic" kernel (i.e. [1,3,3,1]) can be rightly categorized as just many things. It's the generalization to the continuum case, and the addition of the Sharp step — and, now, to arbitrary higher "generation" 'a' — that makes it useful and more powerful. Bloom's post ten years ago inspired me to play some more with the "original" and figure out at least the "continuum" version.

I recommend you check out the paper http://johncostella.com/magic/mks.pdf for developments since the original 2006 "magic" kernel. :)

I think it's somehow related to JPL's need to pay investors. Which doesn't exist.
Maybe they advertise it as a security feature but it's still a good way to prevent unauthorized hotlinking that burns your vimeo bandwidth, costing you money (assuming it does indeed prevent random websites from embedding your videos).
I think it will be less of a problem then for example on twitter , because you can just mute/block/defederate instances that aren't able to control the spam on their instance. There is an incentive to stay small enough so that the mod team can keep up with the amount of work required to keep the community relatively spam free.

Unlike twitter there aren't investors that want to keep growing endlessly so the hard problem of moderation at scale can just be sidestepped by the admin by closing instance signups once they reach moderation capacity.
I was amused to find that "ő orvos. ő sebész. ő agysebész. ő kardiológus. ő pszichiater. ő radiológus. ő bőrgyógyász. ő nőgyógyász. ő szülész. ő fogorvos." was translated as "she is a doctor. she is a surgeon. he is a brain surgeon. she is a cardiologist. she is a psychiatrist. he is a radiologist. she is a dermatologist. she is a gynecologist. she is a midwife. she is a dentist." The (small) majority of physicians in Hungary are in fact female -- I don't know how that breaks down by specialty though. If you are to believe Google Translate, only brain surgeons and radiologists are male by default! (By the way, "szülész" to me means "obstetrician," not "midwife.")
They will still use ICE and do ICE R&D. “Further developments of the existing units” will continue.
The US government has a high success rate in the cases it takes on, but it doesn't take on many cases. I think this works out pretty well for high-stakes things like securities. Most public-company CFOs are very careful because they want to have a long career that in no way involves even a risk of going to jail.

But if the crime is smaller or has less obvious impact, I wouldn't hold my breath. And a giant barrier to regulatory enforcement in tech is that the average state of practice is so very low. I'd bet that Equifax's practices were no worse than average; we just hear about it because it was such a large breach. From a regulatory perspective it's hard to hold them accountable for doing what everybody else is doing.

They've announced huge EV plans. Like "bet the farm" plans. In US it's not as visible because of Musk's Reality Distortion Field.
Freedom of religion is a fundamental human right (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Human...), and if you're in US you have 1-st amendment there.

For this reason, verbally harassing people for their faith is IMO more toxic than "I disagree with you" or even "I disagree with you and I think you're stupid".
Erm. What?
I love Rust, but it always looks ugly.
eating less meat is a good idea, but why go to zero? how about eat beef up to once a week or smth like that?

i think making a point more extreme than necessary motivates people to disagree with you
Ok, but does it also work on humans? :)
The distinction matters depending on the point being discussed, otherwise the comparison with the UK (or the US) doesn't make that much sense.
Implementing an exit visa process. That sounds like a completely healthy thing for a free society to enact. Not.
Well perhaps that's the problem of the market. That it can't particularly function to enrich some people without gross levels of exploitation.
To me it sounds like those people who left can command a very high day rate to help with the immediate aftermath

Those people are probably employed somewhere else and would need very significant incentives. More than likely their current employers would take a dim view of them freelancing to help a competitor, so: enough to take a year off or even to retire on. Basically the idea of hiring back former employees as consultants is a non-starter.
IMO Management will find the money pretty quick if the business survive.

Up until now, they didn't know what 'backup not working' meant. Now they know.

Not being bitter -- there was a failure of communication from both parts.
The HTTP referer (a misspelling of referrer) was broken for a while, ever since spammers figured out they can abuse it.
i took it as a google search, which made me laugh at how much I read before i got to the point. I enjoyed reading this post actually but there is very little meat to what actually happened.
I wonder if that's an important difference? Sales data seems far more noisy and less informative than all of the scaling research datasets I can think of like images or text. It could also just be that you had some minor flaw causing underfitting in your approach like using too-small models which aren't compute-optimal or too much regularization (a critical part of scaling papers is removing standard regularizers like dropout to avoid hobbling the model).
It used to be the case, that when you were either buying direct from Amazon or FBA, it provided some peace of mind. Today it is a lottery. If you haven't come across any issues then you are either too trusting and/or probably not conducting basic tests to check if the products are indeed genuine. As a demo, I would dare anyone to buy a microSD card randomly, and then put it through h2testw/CrystalDiskMark to check for anomalies.
The seaweeed is not a full on substitute for the refular feed.

You still have the climate, land, and water impact of the majority of the feed.

You're also stil stuck with the huge water requirements, antibiotic resistence, disease, and animal cruelty.

You're advocating for a reduction of at most 50% of the harmfull effects.
But going 100% is trivial, so why not do it?
The world is not going to go vegan. Humans eat meat. No greenhouse argument will ever change this. This is worthwhile research, as is cultured meat and other options. Evolving the tech of raising and cultivating animal protein to eat is important work.

Yes, an object moving backwards in time would fall upwards.

An object moving forwards in time faster than the speed of light would crush everything, not just itself into the earth. Its energy would go to infinity. That's why "warp bubbles" always require exotic matter with negative energy. Negative energy does a lot of things that run counter to how we expect spacetime to behave, which is what leads us to think that it probably doesn't exist (or we'd have observed it by now).
> The UK and the EU paid to set up separate supply chains for the AstraZeneca vaccine, with the UK having first dibs on the output of the UK one

The UK is included in the contract of the EU the same way as the EU is included in the one of the EU. That's why there are discussions about the export of vaccine to begin with. Right now AZ exports a few millions of doses out of the EU to the UK.
You can think of generics as providing support for a simple, common form of code generation in the language itself. That might not be technically precisely correct, but looking at it that way makes it seem like not a radical change at all.
The S in IoT should be for "Stop buying stupid disposable junk." I can't listen to anyone complain about climate change while they fill their homes with cheap consumer electronics from globalized supply chains that spy on them.

I also can't imagine letting an internet connected anything in my home, and I keep all internet electronics in one room. Sure, other people can live in a surveillance zoo, but I prefer to keep mine limited.

If it has a circuit, stow it.
And, of course, there's the scenario where the people with domain knowledge are already dead. Money won't help in that case.
I'm a big fan of electrics cars, but maybe the demise of the ICE is greatly exaggerated?

I get the feeling petrol cars will be cheaper than electric cars for the low end of the market for a long long time.
Nice article...

Over here I've invested a lot in Java, to be used where static typing is necessary, JavaScript (Node.Js), Elixir and PHP on other occasions. But it's beginning to look like Go will displace Java. So, might be high time we learned Go :/
Fair enough. I think I am onto something but I am unable to argue it well yet. It's good to see other perspectives.
