Thanks, so "charging" means activating stable cobalt to radioactive cobalt by neutron capture. This sounds very doable and is in line with what I expected for a project selected for the program.

I asked because of an experiment conducted by a german research institute at an accelerator in France. They modified nuclear states by using "shaped" x-ray pulses. I wondered if it were possible to store energy by making a nucleus undergo a transition to a meta-stable state (spontaneous emission is forbidden by a selection rule) but which could eventually be triggered by another pulse to extract energy again.

I hope my description of the process I imagine is not too far off, it has been a while since my nuclear physics course ;)

Here is the article and some discussion:

Honestly, the Samsung OneUI on phones has little, if nothing, to do with Tizen. Have you tried a newer Samsung Galaxy phone?

As someone who now has a Pixel, newer Samsung devices come across as far more full-featured (I think this might be objectively true?) with a more consistent and pleasant UI (IMO) than stock Android. I don't use it because of bootloader/ROM support, but if that didn't exist I'd probably prefer the device that takes stock Android and adds some polish and thoughtful features along with better quality hardware.

There's a reason why Google has often integrated Samsung features into stock Android with a delay of a year or two. Obviously, the reverse is true and Samsung benefits from Google development, but I think that's already a given when Samsung advertises an update to a new Android version. OneUI also seems to avoid the general slowdowns of older Samsung UI experiences such as TouchWiz.
Norway has some of the lowest homicide rates worldwide (about 10x fewer per capita vs US), and is also a tiny country population-wise.

You'll have trouble finding statistically significant trends there year-to-year, yet alone in a few months.

Further, given how culturally different those countries are, trying to compare the two would be ludicrous.

Also good for prototyping and seeding ideas for level design, I'd imagine. I saw someone proto their run-and-gun game on google maps geo - they'll have to model everything once they lock a location down, but can test complex environments very quickly. Also having a real location, however rough, as a base gives you a lot of ideas you would have a hard time coming up with, starting with a blank slate.
> The Palo Verde Irrigation District is not allowed to sell the water – not to the company Calistoga, say, for bottled water, but not to their farmers, either. Blythe farmers are thus only charged to cover the water district’s overhead – $77 an acre a year, an astonishingly low rate.

> In other places, people are charged according to how much water they use and are thus incentivized to use less. In Blythe, no matter how much he uses, a farmer gets his water for a cheap, flat rate.

So the farmers are incentivized to use as much water as they can. It should not be surprising, therefore, that they do so. (I gather it's a use-it-or-lose-it setup, and I'm also guessing that the farmers aren't allowed to take the water and resell it elsewhere; subjecting it to market prices would at least push the water towards more efficient users.) Perverse incentives lead to perverse results.
There has been a lot of concern about how domestic violence may be worsened by not being able to go outside.
I get so pissed every time the double descent paper gets brought up, maybe because of the hubris in its abstract. No "questions about the mathematical foundation of machine learning" were raised by deep learning and a few silly experiments are far from showing "limits of classical analyses".

All the paper shows is (1) stupid ways of counting model complexity and (2) that gradient descent is flawed. Nobody in their right mind believes that increasing the number of hidden neurons can result in a network that is worse on the test set. Since the bigger network contains the smaller network, it is perfectly capable of achieving the same performance, so the only reason why this does not happen is that SGD cannot find it. But of course "SGD cannot always find good solutions" is surprising to nobody, so let's just shit on decades of serious work to get our little paper out.

Sorry for the rant.

The meditation explanation doesn’t really seem applicable here. The effects obtained through meditation are through the removal of stress, not an increase in it: it would seem doubtful that within days of moving in, she suddenly started meditating and it had all the negative effects that she described instead of the expected benefits and she didn’t make the connection and she stopped meditating and causing this to herself within a week of moving out.

Interestingly, Russia files are missing huge range of phone codes, from +7(910) to +7(929).

There are 3 top mobile operators in Russia: MTS, Beeline and Megaphone. Each of them has its own set of phone codes. Majority of MTS and better half of Megaphone numbers are not affected, but all Beeline codes are exposed.
PostGIS is one of those rare examples of highly specialised software that is both OSS and best-in-class. Usually OSS is relegated for highly commoditized software but GIS is anything but even after all these years.

> So you don't have mutable data shared between threads then?

I might have worded that one sentence a little better, sorry.

I do technically need to share data between threads, since my event loop runs on multiple threads, so if I want to mutably modify something I do need to wrap it either in a `Mutex` or an `RwLock` and lock it.

What I meant was that it is not the same as a "transaction" in the SQL sense. It can't fail, there is no rollback, I decide on my own what level of granularity I need, and I bake the necessary atomicity into the data structures itself. So there are no SQL-style transactions anywhere - I just use a lock where it's appropriate to directly modify the memory, just as you'd do in any other situation. (Either by wrapping the whole structure in a lock, or wrapping only a single field, or by simply making the field atomic by itself.)

More like: uber has two contracts, one between the themselves and the driver and one between themselves and the rider.

If a driver is refusing rides based on race, then that is Uber’s problem. If they then want to pursue legal action against the driver, that should be entirely between Uber and the driver.

Oh man, it's just like in Catch-22:

His specialty was alfalfa, and he made a good thing out of not growing any. The government paid him well for every bushel of alfalfa he did not grow. The more alfalfa he did not grow, the more money the government gave him, and he spent every penny he didn't earn on new land to increase the amount of alfalfa he did not produce. Major Major's father worked without rest at not growing alfalfa. On long winter evenings he remained indoors and did not mend harness, and he sprang out of bed at the crack of noon every day just to make certain that the chores would not be done. He invested in land wisely and soon was not growing more alfalfa than any other man in the county. Neighbours sought him out for advice on all subjects, for he had made much money and was therefore wise. “As ye sow, so shall ye reap,” he counselled one and all, and everyone said “Amen.”

Cause freedom. You're talking about the U.S. Why does the US need gun ownership? Cause.

> wouldn't fleets that are constantly bringing in revenue be more efficient than everyone owning a car and driving maybe 2 hours a day?

I hear this again and again and I wonder how detached from reality people are. There are many reasons this won't happen. People have different standards of cleanliness. People have different standards of how much scratches they tolerate on a car. People view cars as status symbols. The list goes on.

People buy condos even though a rental would financially make more sense. But they want to own something they can call theirs and do with it whatever they want or keep it pristine to their liking.

Maybe we could have it only in some situations? I drive regularly in the backcountry and small villages in France and I feel there is no way autonomous driving is possible without AGI. Custom signs, roads too narrow for certains vehicles, fog, snow, or GPS route going dead end in a farm or an off road. But on the other hand autonomous driving on the interstate “drive at 120km/h and alert me 10km before exit 31”, available only if sunny weather on white listed portions could be feasible and would be great.
That's too bad because they make good, reliable phones that tend to be easy to root.
I fundamentally believe that car dependence is built into North American suburbia (how much of this is by design is another matter - plenty of people claim that the car and oil industries have been making sure their products will continue to be in demand for decades to come).

Public transport and bikes are not feasible in Houston or Los Angeles, due to low density and hostile roads.

Going back to your argument, I believe all of this would also be possible with cabs, from a user's perspective the only difference between an autonomous car and an Uber might be price (over the long term)

High speed rail between large agglomerations like SF/LA seem like obvious improvements,but seem impossible to build in the USA.
Most "tech" youtube reviewers often say that an Android customization is good because it is minimalist and is close to stock Android.

This is due to the method of data acquisition. My company also uses cesium (in the browser) for visualization at sub cm level for inspection. Our quality bar is that inspectors have to be able to inspect the grain of the grout between the bricks.

We acquire the data in 3 modes for high buildings, we do low altitude fly over with the 2m drone, then we do facade with the regular drone, and finally we shoot from the ground. We only do ground based lidar, but aerial lidar is improving so maybe that's next. The rest is all high detail photos fed into photogrammetry.

The final results look perfect in cesium, some thin rails might not show up, and windows get a bit funky, but the geometry and the textures load in without a hitch, really cool technology that's so simple in the basis that we built an alternative viewer in Rust+WASM in 3 weeks.

I'll remain very skeptical about their no safety driver claims.

Makes me think of this idea I had: the receipt printer developers should just add a feature to allow printing of a QR code that contains all relevant information on the receipt in CSV format.
Customers could choose whether they want one and be charged a small fee or if they're fine without.

Unless there's some pressure through government regulation to implement this, it won't happen though ... because who's least interested in customers comparing prices and having transparency in their spendings? The retailers obviously.
Umm, there is a lot of useful tech that iPhone is missing/Android phones had first:

E.g.
- >60Hz displays
- 5G (e.g. S10 5G was released >1 year before iPhone with a 5G).
- Notchless phones, etc.

This is why if you watch Apple presentations, they'll always say "best iPhone ever", not "best phone ever".
By the by, any series (or movies) that you'd recommend for their historical accuracy, especially with respect to the everyday things like clothing and other customs?
I own 3 LG G6 phones. I like the SD slot and headphone jack. I like the display. I like the lack of gimmicks. The camera is mediocre quality-wise, and slow to load and snap a photo, though. The OS is falling out of date, and Google's apps have bloated enough that it's annoying to navigate and listen to youtube music at the same time.

The G6 has some reliability flaws around its USB port and camera focus mechanism. I bought two of them used, and the 3rd new because it had a 2 year warranty. The warrantied one I sent in twice under warranty. The 2nd time, they sent me back an "upgraded" G6+ with amazon branding and a locked bootloader, which was unacceptable to me. I politely asked for the G6 or another phone with an unlockable bootloader, and a month later they sent me another G6+. It took 3 months to get that straightened out, but I ended up with a like-new refurbished G6.

LG definitely lost money just on the one phone I bought new due to the reliability issues, and probably burned through $100+ in unnecessary stupidity with their warranty process.

I tried buying a used V20 (I think) at some point, but the display had severe burn-in, and I was able to return it.

I think LG just went slightly too mediocre on each of their phones to optimize costs, missing the forest for the trees. The G6+ would probably be a nearly perfect phone that I would happily pay money for, if it wasn't bootloader locked and infected by amazon. The only reason I have an itch to replace my G6 right now is because of the mediocre camera; I miss so many precious toddler moments that my wife's pixel doesn't. I'll bet every G6 ever made complains about "moisture in the USB port". The V20 clearly has a screen burn-in issue.

I bought a used-but-modern mid-range Samsung tablet to mount on an exercise bike, but it turns out none of the biking apps support it. I was annoyed at first because I hate consumer electronics without a purpose, but it turns out it works well as a tablet and I use it all the time. I've owned other tablets over the years, and they all sucked. Clearly Samsung has some idea of what they're doing.

Hey,

My startup[1] works with a good amount of podcasts on a daily basis and here’s what we have seen work for them:

- SEO is still king (publish transcripts as blog posts, write detailed episode descriptions, tag each episode properly)

- Cross promotion works wonders (appear on other podcasts, plug yours)

- Reel them in with Clips (share multiple clips of each episode on all your socials, have a separate clips channel on YT if possible, ask your guests to promote with Clips or audiograms)

This advice can be applied to all podcasts and we have really seen podcasts benefit from them. Let me know if you (or anyone in the thread) has some specific questions about any of these points. You can reach out to me on Twitter (in profile) if you want to discuss everything a little deeper!

its election time in my home state in India and my 6+ year old asks me who will win the election? I was surprised at the question and the fact that she is able to articulate the political party names. At her age i didn't even know what a political party is. I then realized she sees lots of Television now ever since she moved to her grandama's house during covid.

She goes and names three top parties herself and predicts that one particular party will win. I was surprised.. Asked her why she think so and says she sees more ads of that particular party more than others.. i was beyond words.
