No, 130 is just plain rare. Medium rare is ~145.

Well, no, because...

Yeah, it would be rotten, not “perfectly cooked”, even if you are aiming for rare.

What would you recommend?
Every job will have time where the main thing you do doesn't have anything to do. Sometimes, there's other things that could use some attention. Other times, there's really just no point at being there other than padding some time sheets. I had one boss that would look around and see that we were just trying our best to do something, and would just offer us the chance to just go do anything other than fill a chair in the office. Because of that, when things were crunch time and needed extra time, I had much less issue giving up that extra time. This was a salary position.
Ah, I was wondering where this kind of comment would be, after the last time this drug approval came up.

"There's no evidence that it cures one of the worst diseases around...The FDA should exist to prevent fraud and monitor quality..."

Then the FDA is doing exactly it's job. If there's no evidence that it works, then selling it would be fraud, right?

> At a constant 130 F, after 2-3 hours the steak should be fully pasteurized and nicely medium rare.

2 hours at an internal temperature of 130 for pasteurization (and still only rare.)

The problem is the effects of the bacterial activity in the time it takes to reach and hold at 130, which when your cooking medium is dry air at 130 is...quite a while.
Probably because when poor people give something for free to other people to lift them out of poverty it is called empowerment, but when billionaires take free work of poor people for their own personal selfish gain it is called - exploit.

You don’t seem to understand the power that a platform like Musk’s has. What if those humble cave divers thought Elon knows his stuff and pursued his plan instead of theirs? What if they got pressured by outside entities, whomever they maybe, and were told to follow him?

When it doesn’t go well “he’s just putting options on the table”. When it does he’s colossal genius?

The bigger issue people point out is Musk’s inability to know limits of his knowledge. He is naive and that’s news to a lot of people

One use that goes unnoticed is synthetic fabrics. Your polyesters, nylons, rayons, spandexes are all based on plastic.

Working remote is wonderful. Your work environment is whatever you want it to be, so it’s on you to make it one that makes you effective. Companies that insist on having employees come to an office should learn that lesson. Give your employees control over their work environment. You do trust them, right?

I think it's important to mention that an important part of erlang's failure domain driven mentality is not just "let it crash", but also tying together failure domains: what should you also bring down with you when you crash. For example. Your data sync task encounter an http error in a connected SAAS that threatens data inconsistency. Perfect time to crash. But if you do so, also take down the database connection so that the connection can be returned to the connection pool and the transaction you're running in can be rolled back, ideally without having to try/catch and keep track/selectively recycle of all of cumulative responsibilities that have accrued in that task.
Neural network models have millions of parameters, which means you are trying to optimize in spaces with millions of dimensions. If you can't use differentiation you get hit really hard with the curse of dimensionality.
Because you would be subdividing again, which yields 6 groups.

You ask as if these people were working with Iron Man and Jarvis.

There’s no reason to be cynical. The people who worked on and supported renewables before they were cheap and the environmentalists who convinced them to do so in the face of intense opposition from entrenched fossil-fueled opposition are the ones who made the economic realities of coal a foregone conclusion at this point. This success is something to be celebrated.
That's the whole problem. The company can now point to its FDA approval and say, "See? It's proven to work!"

It hasn't been, and probably doesn't, but now they can get billions from Medicare for it.
I'm with you. Used to work in a cubicle with 5 foot tall walls. So nice compared to the current open office environment we currently have. Benefits were lack of visual distractions and much fewer audible distractions. We had plenty of opportunities to collaborate when needed.
I was thinking about this today,

What if we use the oceans water pressure in our benefit?

For example, deploy this membrane 100m under the ocean, and have a pipe from the membrane going into a tank on the beach nearby.

As we pump fresh water out of the tank on the beach, the oceans own water pressure, pushes water through the membrane and up into the tank on the beach. That way the pump on the beach requires “very little” energy to move the water horizontally on the surface.

The excess brine build up would still be an issue but that’s always an issue.

What kind of apps that a typical Linux programmer would need to run these days? For me, they are

- terminal (shell, editor)

- web browser (email client, file viewer, etc.)

- clock

With these, I only need a bare minimum window manager (fvwm2 in my case). In my view, KDE/GNOME are made not to scare away beginners and there isn't much productivity gain in using these environments. Once you're used to using Unix/Linux, you can graduate them and start using a more lean setup (while you don't have to, of course). One thing I can see might be handy is the System Settings / Control Panels apps. Other than that (and inertia), what are the reasons that people stick to these environments?
Yeah, for most things the hard part is building the base knowledge so you know what information is trustworthy. After that, intensity beats generality on almost anything that has documented knowledge.

I agree with you.

There are so many things in this story that doesn’t make any sense. It feels like there must be some missing piece somewhere. I think that might also be the reason for the investigation.
The GP specified a robot with three joints in his illustrative example. Each joint has three axes (physical dimensions) along which it can move. Each movement has an arbitrary scale of movement of 0-10, since the GP discretized continuous space into 10 buckets arbitrarily for sake of illustration. So 10 choices for each of 3 joints for each of 3 dimensions. That comes out to 10 choices for Joint 1 Dimension 1 x 10 choices for Joint 1 Dimension 2 x … 10 choices for Joint 3 Dimension 3 which comes out to 10^9.

Climate change is going to shift habitable zones northward. There are vast swaths of currently uninhabitable Canadian & Russian permafrost that are about to become pleasant grasslands.

Check out a Koppen climate classification map:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6ppen_climate_classifica...

The largest areas on earth are Dfc (subarctic), Dwf (hot desert), and EF (ice cap). The pleasant areas - C?? and D?[ab] - are relatively small parts of the earth surface. If climate change lifts the cool-summer zones of earth (those ending in c or d) into warm-summer, it has a lot more headroom to increase human-habitable areas than the heating of already-hot areas.

Climate change will likely be good for humanity and fatal for a significant portion of humans. These are not mutually-incompatible statements.

>He’s chief engineer at spacex for starters.

He calls himself that, sure. Elon is a smart guy, and that's why I think he positions himself the way he does. He doesn't want to be Bill Gates, he wants to be perceived as a man of the people. A dudebro who happens to be rich. That's why he's smoking joints with Joe Rogan on camera and tweeting about WSB.

There is zero percent chance that Elon is actually doing any technical analysis or design for SpaceX.

He calls himself Chief Engineer for the same reason Trump claims to be a master-level deal maker. They're narcissists cultivating their respective cults of personality, and the legions of sycophants just lap this stuff up.
While that's obviously a UX flaw that definitely shouldn't have made it to release, I find it hard to envision it ever actually being a problem. If someone's accepting auto-generated copyright notices and licenses that don't actually apply, they can't really point the finger at Github - it's called "Copilot", not "Pilot".

The problem with full snippets of arbitrary obscure repositories being copy+pasted is that there's no realistic way for a user to know if that's happening without putting in more effort than just writing the code themselves, somewhat defeating the point. That's not really case when the first line of the file contains "(C) Someone Else 2003".
Makes me think you could have the character stats and game design decisions as parameters, and have it select characters based on attributes rather than hit encoding of their simple identities (names) but from what I know of LoL the unique thing is character abilities aren't really differentiated in that modular way and the exact values it aren't given (like a spin attack movie's exact radius, though I bet that could be derived).

It’s amazing to me that mostly-white progressive activists pushed so hard for defunding this last year, employing every aggressive tactic like rioting and political intimidation. They completely ignored what minority communities want and need in service of their ideological goals. There was a past discussion on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24275500) about how polls show that Black Americans overwhelmingly want policing to stay the same or increase, an inconvenient piece of data that was given little emphasis on news or social media, and ignored by politicians. In the end numerous cities defunded police departments anyways and the result was a predictable surge in crime. The failure of society to communicate and hold civil discourse just makes me sad and leaves me with little faith that our political process is more than just random noise.

The hard problem is, it never crash so obviously like the author charmingly presented as echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger.

When something went bad(mostly hardware or rare edge case bug on software), it works mostly fine but randomly fails and no amount of hard coded sane checks can automate the detection. It either not crash(unusually slow or garbage result), or crash but it happens rarely enough to never go beyond the threshold of supervisor's restart strategy, so the supervisor keep restarting the unstable process rather than crash and let the parent supervisor know to remove itself from the cluster of nodes.
Google scholar is probably a better resource to answer this question (and the "how" is still in the early stages of being understood).

Cracks can show up after you are done regardless.
All Big 5 traits except neuroticism correlate with Myers Briggs traits. The claimed unreliability comes from studies treating the traits as dichotomies. Instead of continuous scales like basically every MBTI test. The same methodology would make Big 5 look unreliable too.

As I understand it, 15 months ago, only experimental batches of mRNA vaccines had ever been produced.

Only a few specialists knew how, and industrial production was a hypothetical dream.

The ramping up to billions of doses since have gone as fast as is humanly possible, with very little expense or effort spared.

Everyone would like it to go even faster, but there are limits to what money can buy.

That clearly depends both on your and the expert’s judgement, and I’d say the variance of both is high.
It's sad how difficult it is to get symmetric speeds in some parts of the US. Around here, the cable company was actually lowering upstream speeds for some users. They raised their downstream though. This was an attempt to encourage them to upgrade to DOCSIS 3.1, I think. Once enough users upgrade they can start doing fancier stuff, like allocating more upstream channels. Maybe by 2030.
Push out non nsm from a distribution? Mate, it was the individual distro packagers that decided enough was enough on that front.

I don't have a problem with the ambition to become a billionaire, but as advice I think it's inactionable at best, and counter-productive at worst. I say that because becoming a billionaire is an outcome that happens after a long chain of decisions and events that need to succeed and compound over a long period of time. Focusing on the outcome of becoming being a billionaire is just day-dreaming unless you have the next actionable step, and unless you are already a 100-millionaire the next actionable step on the path to a billion is not predictable.

In practice I believe every billionaire has some very strong skills that enabled them to scale their wealth in that way, but those skills had to have been acquired by pursuing more achievable goals along the way. Ultimately they were lucky enough that their skills and assets aligned with growing economic waves which they rode to outsized success. I don't think you can reverse engineer this because every billionaire is a product of a particular time and niche that has already been exploited.

IMHO the better advice for young people is to focus on finding what you are exceptionally good at, and then intently practice and build those skills with short-term goals in mind. As you go, keep an open mind, learn to identify opportunities, say yes a lot, and if you feel you are onto something then go all-in on it long enough to see where it goes.
