The problem with RSS/Atom feeds has always been they were mostly auto-generated. If only those was authored like a primary medium (instead of being just crappy auto-cuts of the articles' beginnings with links to the web site) it would be way better than social networks.
I believe most decent life cycle analyses these days will include a prediction of carbon intensity of electricity used in the future as one more thing to help compare costs/benefits now vs the future.

As an example burning trash for power gets relatively worse as other energy sources become carbon free, while recycling gets relatively better as the energy required becomes lower carbon and/or cost.
It creates a lot of noise when he says things. Even technical people buy into it.

I’ve seen people on HN use the excuse “humans only use vision to drive”, reaffirming Musk.

We’d like self-driving to be a solved problem in some form sooner rather than later. Millions are hurt or die in cars every year. It’s ok if we “cheat” with Lidar, etc

Of course, we are ignoring the fact that people are paying extra for what they think will eventually give them self-driving.

> Similarly with my room, you can hide everything that would breach your privacy before the exam starts.

The need to hide things is itself an effect of privacy having been breached. Privacy isn't just to keep information secret, but also to provide a space in which you can be comfortable because it is your own space. Needing to hide things away is a reaction to privacy being breached, not a way to preserve privacy.

Authors are to blame, too. They can put their publications on arXiv. https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies/sharing:

“Authors can share their preprint anywhere at any time.

If accepted for publication, we encourage authors to link from the preprint to their formal publication via its Digital Object Identifier (DOI). Millions of researchers have access to the formal publications on ScienceDirect, and so links will help your users to find, access, cite, and use the best available version.

Authors can update their preprints on arXiv or RePEc with their accepted manuscript.”

there still is an issue with older articles that authors don’t have PDFs of, or whose authors aren’t in the field anymore (or even died). That problem will stay, but _if_ authors start putting their publications on arXiv, their university server, etc. en masse, also will get smaller over time.

> all possible content

The path to happiness for me has been realizing that I don't have time to consume all possible content anyway, especially right now (cf. "Peak Content"). So I just pick one platform every few years and choose from the games available on the platform.

Over the years, I've gone from PC to PS2 to Wii to PC and right now, I'm gaming on a Switch (plus Minecraft on the PC that I already have). And if there were ever a PS5 or XSX exclusive that I'm interested in, I can always watch a let's-play first and see if I'm still interested later. (Which has not even happened to me so far because I don't actively seek out news for games that are not on the platform I own.)
Yep, I heard about this already. I have a German residence permit, and I don't have 650k at hand anyway.
I'm not sure what your SO is doing. Still I would bet that she is not doing more work than you. The effects of your work is probably not as obvious to a layman. This is like saying that a horse with a cart is doing more work than a truck, just because it is more inefficient and crude.

Another comparison would be of the president of the US and a coal miner. The coal miner might use more physical energy, but the effects of the work that the president is performing is so much larger it is ridiculous.

An old laptop is the way to go, as long as its networking is good. A Raspberry Pi is unlikely to be supported; these programs usually only support Windows and macOS (and possibly ipadOS or Android). A virtual machine is not an option either, as it will be detected and the program will refuse to run.
The actual complaint is linked in the article if you don't like Are Technica's writing.
A shorthand memory hook to remember "Tarzan"|(Tarzan) is that this is similar to conditional evaluation of boolean expressions. For example, in Python you often do

foo = foo or [ 23, 42 ]

Or more generally:

foo = foo or ConstructSomeFoo()

If foo is None then it gets this default value or the newly constructed object, otherwise it's unchanged. Key here is that what's after "or" is not even evaluated if the first operand is already evaluating to True.

So, the left "Tarzan" eats up the matching substring that we do not want, while the right (Tarzan) matches what we do want, but only if the left one didn't already hit.

I wish it was easy to buy a gas hot water heater that also had a few coils of copper in it so I could plumb in whatever kind of energy harvesting heat source I could come up with. It'd be great to tap into the heat my AC throws off, or a closed loop solar thermal panel, or both!
Funny, at my UK university for Computer Science we did not have independently invigilated exams. I would assume other courses were similar. We did have them for secondary education though.
I agree with you, but at the same time, it diminishes the value of a degree, because it no longer certifies that meet certain requirements.

As a second term house member, AOC’s influence is mostly limited to getting her fans riled up on Twitter. Yes, companies can face pressure from people, but that influence is not being exerted via the government (via laws, it’s executive organizations, or it’s courts).

Frankly, you’d have a much better case if you pointed at politicians with much more power abusing their position (eg Trump or Biden), at least they have real influence on the DOD and DOJ. But even here, (recent) history has shown that this influence has very hard limits. Like Trump trying to punish Amazon by getting a cloud computing contract awarded to Microsoft, which was unwound this week due to undue influence playing a factor.

They really don't need to re-do the lectures every year, you only need them once.

The agitating protestors vandalised a DTC bus and police vehicles. According to the police, the protestors used sticks, iron rods, pelted stones, while some Nihang protestors rode on horses fully equipped with deadly weapons like swords, kirpans and fursas and some protesters even used their tractors to run over the police. Some protesters driving their speeding tractors rammed barricades and attempted to mow down the policeman on duty

what a useless and counterproductive argument. so self driving is hard, and anyone attempting to do it is a scam looking for profit? we should all listen to Dr. Cummings and stop researching self driving, because apparently it is "hard"?
I think making the exam really hard is more likely to backfire and push people to cheat. One of the main drivers of cheating is the perception of unfairness. The time limitation is not really an obstacle if you're organised, just divide and conquer doing a subset of the questions each.
So no new articles have been uploaded this year.

While I have relatively good access options through my university, roughly half of the publications appearing in my Google Scholar alerts are unaccessible. As they are also in fields were use of preprint services isn't common, it really interferes with me being up to date with ongoing research.

As the use of sci-hub is so common, I wonder about the wider implications of the newest articles being inaccessible. Could bibliometric methods be used to quantify this? Missed citations? Less citations for articles published in more obscure journals?

Interesting that no new solutions have come out yet. I'm seeing people getting back to use #ICanHazPDF - not the best way to conduct research when an article is often just a gateway to more finding more relevant articles to read.

If you believe conservative media and "anti-woke" Twitter, California is an unliveable wasteland where you can't walk two paces without stepping over homeless people, discarded needles and human feces, where crime (violent and non-violent) is skyrocketing, where people don't feel safe in their own homes, and where the only response by "progressive" politicians is to double down on their same bad policies that created the mess in the first place.

Is any of that true? I have no idea; I've never been to California. But it's what a large percentage of the country believes about the Golden State.

Fair enough, I guess in a way we already have the extra taxes you're mentioning, If anyone needs medical assistance they get it (Mostly, they refuse to fix my grandmothers knees because she's still able to walk (in pain)). But anything lethal will always be treated, or young people with fixable issues.
>>I guess I'm skeptical that taxi driver who takes on less rides is making more money after the cut they give to their company.

There's an implicit assumption there that taxi driver gets less rides and I don't see why that is necessarily true.

More broadly, I think both Uber and Taxi drivers have significant distribution, and it appears there are both Uber & Taxi drivers who are better or worse at maximizing their rides and income. I've seen both drivers who just "do what app/dispatch tells them" (and are constantly complaining about their income level or nature of rides), and drivers who actively seek out timing, areas and locations that give good rides. This is not the same as parking in front of hotel and hoping for a long drive - it's a fairly active dynamic work.

Overall though, active engaged Taxi drivers seemed to find it a more predictable, profitable engagement that sufficed as main income for their family; whereas I have not gotten that sense from Uber drivers in the 12-18 months prior to Covid.

Of course, while I took taxi or uber twice a day for several years in Ottawa, this is still anecdata and limited sample - absolutely! But that's largely my point - we discuss Uber and Taxi as if the situation in London and San Francisco and New York and Ottawa and so on is the same - and it absolutely is not.

One thing that seems to often be missed in these discussions as well is edge cases; even if in a place Uber is a great alternative for 80-90% of folks, I find it is far less dependable if you're in a less active area, during less active time, and/or need Uber planned for a specific time.

That is not true. I pay money, I get a product I want. That is a win-win situation.

I see YouTube and YouTube records who I am, where I live, my age, my relationship status, my political views.... to watch TV for free seems a very bad exchange.

I am not against the advertisement industry, but in its current form in conjunction with tech companies it is damaging society in very real, very harmful ways.

I think the "environment good" is also mainly marketing. People might feel better buying an electric car. People will rationalise by saying "well, I won't be buying another car for 10 years". You have to own an e car for several years to get some environmental benefit. However we are seeing people buy new e cars at the same rate as normal ones, if not sooner as technology is improved. Car companies want you to buy their cars more than protecting the environment. This could make it worse than normal cars in many ways.

Consumption needs to decrease to be actually greener.

It's a bit disingenuous to lay blame on companies for hypocrisy, when they have to play by the system set up by politicians.

Capitalism doesn't give you any extra points for being sustainable. If anything, it can interfere or be in direct opposition to making profits. You win at capitalism by making profits. A non-sustainable competitor will eat you, if you start worrying about the environment too much. So greenwashing is the way to go for most companies, in order to avoid boycotts, and people are ready to believe it because these problems are complex and people don't want to think that the stuff they buy are hurting the environment. This is a very foreseeable result, given the incentives.

This post couldn't have been more timely. I just bought my first RPI4 to test the feasibility of creating a dual monitor dumb terminal. Last year my small office went 100% remote. Now we want to bring a few people back on a part in-office/part remote rotation. The 'sever' machines are just people's ol desktops and laptops sitting on a wire shelf. Colleagues have used Win RDP to remote from their personal PCs into their Office PCs ('severs'). What do you do when people are in the office part-time? Move the PC to a desk and then put it back on the shelf when they go home so they can work remote tomorrow? YUCK.

That said, I hear PRI4 can boot off USB and it's faster than the SD card. At least that's my hope.
