Hi Zach! I was just checking out Ash today, really liking what I'm seeing. I won't be trying it out just yet (don't have the Elixir skills just yet to contribute/troubleshoot extensively) but you can be damn sure I'll be keeping an eye on it.

This thing looks mind-blowing, and could be the future of the Elixir ecosystem. Keep it up!

Wind accounts for 42%. Solar does nothing.

The 97% is from charts like this:
https://scotland.shinyapps.io/sg-energy/_w_8738d4b2/?Section...

And they define 'Gross electricity consumption' as referring to total electricity generation minus net exports.

Here's my home province of Ontario: https://live.gridwatch.ca/home-page.html

At the time of this posting, Hydro and Nuclear account for 85% of total energy consumption. 10% from Wind, so 95% of our energy is carbon-free. Wind for us is a vanity play since we can just buy more hydro power from Quebec.
Hey, thanks for sharing your perspective. I'm sorry you interpreted my comment in that way, I did not mean to say that TeXmacs had shortcomings in the way it imports LaTeX, in fact I do believe it does its best given the constraints it faces, but as you justly said the task is impossible in the general case given LaTeX's Turing completeness. To be clear the problem is not TeXmacs, but the fact that in a team most people work in LaTeX and having to constantly convert from one another would be impractical. In particular I rely heavily on git to manage document history and to view diffs from my co-authors, and having to manage a document that exists in two languages simultaneously would add significant complexity to a workflow that I'm already barely able to make my co-authors follow. This would be of course significantly simplificated if import followed by export (and the reverse) was the identity function, which would technically allow TeXmacs to directly edit LaTeX documents without having to rewrite them entirely, but I don't believe that to be the case and again I don't see how it could be possible.

To answer your other comment, this paper of mine https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.04063 has many problems when importing in TeXmacs: the title is not aligned correctly, the algorithms are messed up, the figures don't have the correct sizes, and one of the figures which is exported from Inkscape is not even imported at all. There are also a bunch of macros that are shown as raw visible commands in TeXmacs and I don't know what to do with those (but that's certainly something I could learn to manage). Again not blaming you or the particular TeXmacs devs working on import, this situation is a fatality of how LaTeX works.
> Solutions to fossil fuel use are going to have to involve drastic cuts in our electricity consumption.

Why? Why can't we produce enough from wind and solar and store it in batteries? Maybe use electric cars as batteries for helping to balance the grid.

One thing I’ve always been curious about is why law firms so aggressively meter. Wouldn’t most arguments you’d apply to software consultants apply to them as well?
Yes. Divorces are costly. But they are cheaper in the long run. Mine set me back a quarter of a million dollars, and that was in 1988 dollars.

Ten years later and I wanted to send my first wife a 'Ten-Year-Anniversary Thank-You card' for leaving me. But my second wife wouldn't let me. (Said it was 'a bit tacky'.)

The other surprising thing about costs was that my second wife's first husband took her to court for lots of stuff. My first wife and I had a fairly amicable divorce. But our lawyer's fees for the two divorces were practically the same.

If you think you need a divorce, just do it.

Old joke (very old): "Save 20 years of your life. Find a woman you hate and give her a house, some money, and a car."
"people do not back up qualifying words with the appropriate level of mathematical rigor."

To be fair, how in the world am I supposed to calculate such things and provide a satisfactory number?

The vast majority of my conversations and discourse don't require or benefit from giving a range or specific value to such words. Would the preceding sentence be better if I said 90%, 95%, 99.5% instead of 'vast majority'? And to be honest, most people - especially myself - aren't at all accurate with probability estimates, let alone calculations.
I guess, either way, you need a system that addresses supply and allocates housing fairly. I believe the free market can do that. Saying no land ownership doesn't really address who builds more housing, what incentive do they have, what restrictions are there, who gets to live where. Sure, if you could replace it with a system where the government builds as dense as is safely possible to meet demand, then held a lottery for who got to live there, and those tenants were forced to relocate every 3-5 years to give other people an opportunity to live there, I guess I'd be on board with that.

My hesitation is that would be a total rewrite, and we have a system that works pretty well where we could remove some market distortions and have it working really well. Remove residential zoning restrictions and landlords will build, there is incentive for it. So much of LA is zoned for SFH+ADU, and your neighbors will sue you if you get creative. There is no room in the zoning code for low end housing. I read about these men's hotels [1] and I don't think you can build something like that anymore, something that addresses a need at a price point people can afford. It sounds crass but we need tenements, so someone who is barely scraping by has a bed, an address, and a shower.

There is nothing besides legacy rent control units at the $500/mo price point in LA. There should be. We shouldn't rely on rent control, where we privatize the costs of a social problem and give landlords a huge incentive to get people out. We should just build some livable shit.

No the solution is to impose carbon tax, and:

* Let consumer decide what is more important for them, saved money or not worrying about light switches

* Give capitalists incentive to produce greener electricity

Yes, technically, forcing people to reduce their quality of life is a solution, but it's better to solve the problem without it.

He just committed suicide.

We are six levels deep in an HN thread. It’s not looking good.
The article cited nothing for the former claim. An unspecified survey for the latter.

It seemed to imply the 40x increase was in rapid onset gender dysphoria. But ROGD isn't a recognized diagnosis even now. Never mind 2006. A single researcher published a single paper proposing it in 2018. They relied on the assumption teenagers tell their parents everything. And they selected for parents who refused to accept their children coming out as trans.[1]

The article also claimed 100% of a small study population proceeding to transition after puberty blockers contradicts the claim puberty blockers give children more time to decide before transitioning. But doctors don't hand out puberty blockers randomly of course.

This is the one you want: https://scotland.shinyapps.io/sg-energy/_w_8738d4b2/?Section...

42% of electricity consumption derives from wind power. The rest of carbon-free energy derives from Nuclear and Hydro. And then you have natural gas as back-up.
Perhaps not, but you're changing the goalposts. You said European style safety nets would spur individual innovation and risk taking. That was the only metric I was interested in. If you want to change the conversation to generic 'benefits' or happiness, by all means, go ahead, but that's not a conversation I'm personally interested in.
No, I don't think trans-women are more likely to be rapists. Trans-women are at high risk of sexual assault in male prisons and that should be taken seriously. Cis-women are at risk of sexual assault and being impregnated from that sexual assault if they are housed with intact trans-women.

I think both of these concerns can be addressed. None of the options address everyone's needs and preferences, but are certainly better than leaving trans-women completely vulnerable in men's prisons.

1) House trans-women in a separate part of men's prisons so that they are not at high risk of sexual assault. Some people do not like this because it doesn't affirm their gender identity.

2) House trans-women in prisons for trans people. This is likely unrealistic because the number of people is small and for most inmates it would mean spending prison time far away from their community, making it harder for friends and family to visit.

3) House trans-women in women's prisons, but not force cis-women to share a cell with intact trans-women. This scenario would remove the threat that trans-women face, affirm their gender identity, but not impose an unfair burden on cis-women who fear being sexually assaulted and impregnated by intact trans-women.

I think scenario (3) goes most of the way in protecting trans-women from sexual assault, allows them to serve their sentences (hopefully not too far away from family), yet still acknowledges that many cis-women in prison have been sexually assaulted or fear sexual assault by people with penises because it can result in pregnancy which creates an entire new set of physical, psychological, and moral challenges for that cis-woman.
That's the fun - you decide!
I sincerely believe it isn't dead yet, though some progress has been made.

People no longer default to assuming that women should be full-time wives and moms. Women in the US no longer need their husband's permission to seek employment. Etc.

But the general pattern still shapes a great many social phenomenon and I think it is a serious ongoing problem, yes.

Annulment isn't a "thought." It's a legal reality. You don't typically seal contracts with "and then we have sex and the contract is null and void if that doesn't happen at least once."

The idea was not to look at testosterone markers. The idea was that "testosterone is effective doping" might be a decent heuristic for FTM athletes have an advantage from their biology.

Whilst there are indeed cases of trans athletes with lower testosterone, that doesn't cover all cases. And it is the remaining cases that matter.
Don't underestimate the damage this is doing. I visit 9gag quite often. The population there is not trans positive (and generally intollerant). Memes against trans people have become a lot more prevalent there. It is galvanizing a lot of simmering sentiment against trans people.

And the scary thing is, on this specific issue of MTF athletes, their argument doesn't immediately fall apart. That is not the kind of foothold we should want for them.

I'm surprised that the article isn't more sports-centric.

This "battle," has been mostly an elite-ish, university-centric one this far. Gender studies departments were always known as bastions of avant garde quirkiness. The Germaine Greare's of the world have always been at war with someone, name-calling and whatnot. Theatrical protests aren't new, and neither is their intensity.

Leakage into the real world was indirect at best, and leakage into the elite world was usually in the form of recreational rhetoric. When ordinary people hear about it, it's usually from the politically polar... reaching for examples of crazy social progressives.

Sports though... sports is something people actually care about. That's where "gender ideology" is now, and this is where things start to get serious... where we see what sticks and what doesn't.

Prisons and shelters... those are bystanders, one way or another.

^ I'm not talking about the actual changes or lack thereof affecting trans people. I'm talking about the war over abstract philosophical points.. which manifest in specific areas such as prisons, sports, etc. The "fat man on a rail cart" scenarios.
There’s also actual data that black people commit an outsized percentage of violent crime in the US yet any statement like this with “black” substituted for “men” would be downvoted into oblivion.

> The head of Cal Fire, Chief Thom Porter, did grant an interview. He acknowledged the figures cited by Newsom were incorrect and took responsibility for the governor’s misstatements.

This sounds like he could be the 'fall guy', who is taking the blame that rightly belongs to someone else. The difficulty is that we know he's not super honest; either he stood by silently while watching his boss cite incorrect facts at a series of press conferences, or he said something at the time and he's being untruthful now. Either way, he's acted dishonestly.

And of course Newsom has had his own honesty issues in the recent past, including his high-profile restaurant snafu. In this context, it's hard to trust anything either of these guys says.

(Agreed, fwiw. What’s going on here isn’t a criticism of this work specifically, but the trend of everyone thinking that this is science generally.

But it might not have a model release. I give that at least 40% odds. If it doesn’t, then everything I said above will be true about that too, Karras or not. People keep doing that, and we have to call out that this is approximately useless for you and me. Actually, I was going to say maybe it’s useful for you, but you’re the language model hacker and I’m the GAN hacker, and I assure you, code alone is useless for me. If it’s useful to you, I would love to know how it helps you verify the scientific method.)
