Could you share some of your experience with nbdev? I'm a huge fan of what the fastai team has been doing and I've tried nbdev, but I haven't been convinced yet. Particularly with the pull request experience, it's not very easy to do code reviews.

FWIW my team uses bitbucket and the PR experience is significantly worse than github/gitlab unfortunately.
The top 10 free apps on the App Store, at time of writing, are TikTok, HBO Max, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, Snapchat, Zoom, Gmail, and Google Maps. Until Gmail, every single one of those provides access to content that can't be accessed thorough another app—a more ethical Snapchat doesn't have any of my Snapchat-using friends, and a more ethical HBO Max doesn't have the movie I want to watch. So no, in practice, the option is to get the app, wherever it's available, or decide to do without whatever it's offering.

I keep my HEPA filters on with the windows always open.

If the air quality is decent outside, it is easy to maintain a PM2.5 rating of near <10 like this.

In California fire season I have a box fan on high in the window pushing air in (and sealing the areas around the window) through an MPR 2800 furnace filter (which is better than the 99.97% rated hepa filters, would be marked as a ULPA filter I believe in different contexts) with this I can maintain the ~0 PM2.5 rating inside even when the AQI outside is >300 while keeping CO2 in check.

It's been quite surprising how easily the CO2 spikes with closed windows and doors in the bedroom with just one person... I essentially always have a window in each room open several inches, cracked isn't enough, usually with at least one fan pushing air through a window.

Try not pulling other team members branches. What I mean by that is instead of having your own branch HEAD/tag (whatever the term?) for their branch, do `git checkout origin/their-branch` when checking out their branch. Git will complain about a detached HEAD, that's OK. Then later when they rebase and force push, just do the same thing again, and you never have to worry about making sure your own local branch for their branch is in sync.
> Or even just frequent backups. A coworker of mine used to copy the entire on-disk repository including the .git directory before doing anything slightly unusual in git.

To recover from commit screwups, it should be enough to just export the git repository somewhere else like a remote repo, or even just apply changes in a separate branch.

It just seems that a developer is doing something extremely wrong with their repository if they can't recover from their experiments by checking out a branch or commit.

Yes the Senseair S8 is very good. Only problem is that the automatic baseline calibration sometimes needs 7-10 days to kick in. But you can also do a manual calibration.
No it's not.

It's like having x and claiming y and z might exist. You set it equal to zero and then you demonstrate the existence of the others.

Every study I've ever seen dealing with messy social sciences has some kind of fundamental counternarrative. That's why there's follow-up studies to try to demonstrate things in different ways.

Take the Milgram experiment. Some participants have claimed they knew the machine was fake but didn't want to mess up the experiment so they played along. Do we throw that out then? Everything real is complex, we aren't dealing with carefully defined clean room abstractions.

The Asch conformity test with the lines, many participants expressed extreme indifference to the arbitrary exercise after the confederates disagreed. They simply did whatever was required to complete the experiment. Do we toss that out?

All experiments are like this. Every single one. That's why you have to do multiple different kinds and have a preponderance of evidence from a diversity of approaches. That's the whole point

The opposite baseline belief, that mannerisms, poise and confidence have absolutely nothing to do with class signalling and that class absolutely does not reproduce itself through social institutions, seems to me to be the more implausible hypothesis here.

There'd have to be some new hypothesis to explain why it so clearly looks like going to Eton or Harvard and growing up in the Hamptons affords one preferences in the job market even when the prospect employer doesn't know such details.

Personally I think that's the one that should be on the defensive. A confounding factor there is the one that needs demonstration.

There is a middle ground of "force update software on the device more than once a decade." Yes, FFmpeg will always have vulnerabilities, and recreating their work would cost an enormous amount and be less secure. Properly distributing security patches is an affordable alternative.
The difference, though, is that there is little good you can say about drunk drivers. There are no known positive outcomes of driving while drunk.

Chip I/O as in having lots of memory channels and lots of PCIe lanes.

That said, Intel mobile CPUs don't have fantastic I/O either, this will matter more when Apple has to scale up to iMac Pro/Mac Pro territory.

"SSD performance" is a very high-level view of I/O, and depends more on the size and configuration of flash chips used than the CPU design.

Bubbling air through quicklime slush is an easy way of removing CO2. You can turn the calcium carbonate that forms back into quicklime by applying heat.

I’m not questioning that you should read all the questions, I’m saying it’s ambiguous what you should do if you’re given the following task list:

1) read all tasks
2) do x
3) do y
4) do z
5) now that you have read all tasks, just write your name and do nothing

I don’t understand why I should not do x,y,z. Task 1 is telling me to read all tasks, not to execute any. Why should one, when reading 5), decide to execute that particular one, but not the other ones?

To me, the correct procedure would be to read all tasks (task 1), then continue executing task 2), etc.

> For a basic example-numbers implementation, replacing an n-body simulation that updates every 10 seconds, I was imagining that you might update the force vector 1/100th as often, every 1000 seconds. That's plenty fast to accurately handle a multi-day orbit around a lagrange point or a low energy transfer. The paths the craft take should look completely normal.

I'm honestly curious about what Principia's largest step size is when calculating predictions. Best I can tell, the step size starts large and shrinks until the tolerance-to-error ratio is small enough [0]. I can't seem to figure out how large the initial step is, though.

But in any case, I suppose it'd come down (again) to how important accuracy is.

I'm now extremely tempted to fire up KSP with Principia to see what happens if I were to mess with the timesteps. Don't think I'm familiar enough with the codebase to mess around with it properly, though.

> If you then combine a normal single-influence orbit with that force vector, you could summarize 1000 seconds of orbit into one moderately complex equation.

A lot hinges on the combination being as simple as the sentence makes it look. I'm not entirely convinced that the analysis is straightforwards (fewer forces, but you might lose some useful properties) but I'll be the first to admit that I'm not exactly an expert on this subject.

I really wish I had more time and knowledge; this sounds like a good candidate for some test code. I have absolutely no faith I'd be able to pull off something proper, though; good n-body integrators are well out of my skill range, and I don't know how I'd even begin approaching your proposed scheme outside naive integration (which wouldn't exactly be a fair comparison to high-quality n-body integrators).

Did you have a particular method of combination in mind?

> Treating the forces as constant over a stretch of time, when they actually are almost constant, shouldn't have all that much error, unless I'm missing something glaring.

Well, maybe; I'm honestly not confident enough in the possible models I had in mind to stand behind what I said (I was thinking in terms of the relative magnitude of the "correction" of the second force, but looking back I'm not entirely sure how relevant that is). I really shouldn't have been so confident in that particular line of questioning. Sorry about that.

> ...I'd like to move my changes into a temporary area and then pick the lines into my working directory and commit that.

One way to achieve this is by putting the changes into stash 'git stash push', then interactively grab the desired hunks from the stash into the work dir with 'git checkout --patch stash@{id}'. This will also add the accepted changes into the index, staging them for the commit.

Kinda granular, but allows me to keep those nice verbose debugging parts yet out of commit.
Another solution is to install a positive pressure system with high performance HEPA filters. This is especially recommended if you live in areas with very high air pollution.

Positive pressure systems can virtually achieve zero AQI inside even on the worst polluted days.

This article seems to make fantastic jumps from the believable -- mortality from overall air pollution (e.g. in Delhi) to the frankly unbelievable -- your ultrasonic humidifier supposedly reducing your life by nearly an hour each night, or that a daily commute between Newark and NYC takes half a year off your life.

According to this logic, anyone who works in the subway should be dying, what, 10 years earlier? Which is obviously not happening.

Similarly, it seems impossible to believe that the minerals in the air from humidifiers are equivalently dangerous to factory pollution or cigarette smoke. Different categories of particles are going to affect the body differently, no? I mean, our body requires minerals -- we're drinking them in our water all day long -- while certain factories may be belching out straight-up poison.

These statistics are just not passing the smell test. They seem to be extrapolations of extrapolations of extrapolations. This article's conclusions don't seem even remotely convincing.
This has been my line of thinking also. Many models of black holes in the past have been way oversimplified, to the point of absurdity. Their temporal existence is bounded in both directions, and neither is an instant cut-off!

1) When a star collapses, the black hole it becomes isn't formed instantly, that would violate the very theory of relativity that predicts their formation.

2) Black holes evaporate, as you've mentioned.

But this begs the question: Forget the hypothetical "probe" particle. What about the particles that made up the original star? They're like many probe particles!

Imagine the black hole starting at the centre of the collapsing star, expanding outwards, slowing down time for the infalling matter. Does any of the rest of the star fall in to the black hole? Or, like your test particle, does the rest of the star just hang there, frozen in time, a thin layer above the event horizon?

Regressing that back to the formation: Does anything ever truly fall into the black hole?

I suspect not. My thinking is that a black hole truly is a hole in spacetime, and contains nothing, not even spacetime. It's like poking your finger through a loose-knit wool jumper and making a hole. From the perspective of the threads, you've made a distortion that can be approached, but not entered.

Then the evaporation of the black hole is the hole in spacetime closing up, releasing the compressed matter near the horizon as Hawking radiation...

My experience is that the best pine cones for pine nuts are the ones just about to open.

Before that they are not ripe, but once they are open the nuts quickly fall off (at which point you look for them under the tree before the squirrels do).
Considering most cancelled subscriptions are cancelled within a trial period, the average subscription duration is heavily weighted down. Your point would be something worth considering if you had an average that excluded all cancellations within, say, the first month.
Heh, ok, I stand corrected. My impression was that was it was mostly wolf and mountain lions that eat deer. I dug around and found a few studies that mentioned that heavy snow let to more coyote deer hunting.

Then several other studies that tried to tease out if coyotes cause additive predation (increase in mortality rates) or compensatory predation (killing deer that would die anyways). Found a summary of the related research papers claiming "None of these studies found any evidence that coyote removal caused an increase in the deer population." another two studies found "Removal studies with white-tailed deer populations also show that coyote removal does not affect overall population growth."

Seems like the general conclusion is that coyotes have stabilizing effect on deer herds, which seems about right from a healthy ecosystem point of view. Similarly wolves help stabilize various populations, even of distant species like song birds, beavers, trees and other plants.

Thanks for the correction.

>If it were, I don't think it would be so difficult to get companies to adopt policies against hate speech directed towards any group.

In theory no reasonable person would be for hate speech directed at anyone, but in practice, "hates speech" means anything that's outside of the Overton Window.

>Every inclusivity effort I've seen has made an effort to include and help all races, genders, religions, ages, etc. I know I'm serious about that.

I have never seen an inclusivity effort that's that way. They're almost entirely "intersectionality" and critical race theory based, so straight white males are excluded. They even have "inclusivity" groups where they tell whites and males to not join, or of they do join, to shut up and "be an ally".
Unfortunately, the software tooling gap between Nvidia and AMD has widened significantly for GPGPUs. AMD has also left the enthusiast video card market in the dust with their lack of ROCM support. Nvidia has some seriously cool tech that they showcased at GTC 2021 this year, like speeding up algorithms for bioinformatics, and new CPU/GPU combinations for autonomous driving. I would guess that the immense amount of R&D spent by Nvidia is causing this gap.
Steve Jobs emphasized the importance of LSD, it makes sense it'd help to think outside the box.

EVs are good for suburbanites, maybe.

A fair amount of city drivers do not have a dedicated off street parking space where they can install a charger. There are basically zero street parking spots in any American city with charging. It is not going to be possible to retrofit most multistory garages to have even a significant minority of spots with chargers.

I live and work in fairly new multistory buildings, and there aren’t many EV spots. My coworkers with EVs move their cars around constantly in hope of getting their one hour ration of charging in the office garage.
My gut reaction to “conservatives generally resent environmentalism” is that it’s wrong. I know you mean from a policy standpoint, but the people who live most in nature, who feel most at home outside concrete jungles and actually experience the environment are overwhelmingly conservatives.

I wonder if it’s liberals and conservatives looking from different vantage points. Liberals see massive cities and sprawl and call it too much, conservatives surrounded by fields and trees and nature say some more industry couldn’t hurt.
