That's a valid point but cement and steel production emit CO2 directly, it's not just from the energy source.

As part of cement making, "The process of 'calcination' splits the material into calcium oxide and CO2."[1] About half a ton of CO2 is emitted per ton of cement.[2]

And with steel: "The prevailing process makes steel from iron ore — which is mostly iron oxide — by heating it with carbon; the process forms carbon dioxide as a byproduct. Production of a ton of steel generates almost two tons of CO2 emissions."[3]

Wind farms use a lot of concrete and steel; by some estimates, more than nuclear.[4] Of course, total emissions is still way less than fossil. Assuming normal lifespan, about 25 lbs of material per MWh[5], so (very) roughly that much CO2. By comparison, a coal plant emits over 2000 lbs CO2 per MWh. [6]

> sampling theory suggests it might be (or have been) a trend

How does sampling theory support that your two experiences might be a trend? I got two flat tires in the last ten years. Does sampling theory say it's a trend? Statewide? Worldwide?

> it is also important to understand other perspectives

Absolutely, but let's remember that much of the narrative has been pushed by a political faction for years.

This is exactly what we do also. Apart from prevent destroy, you can also have termination protection enabled on the actual instance. Not sure if azure offers it but aws definitely does
This is probably the singly best written and most realistic article I’ve read on HN ever and I’ve been on HN for a long long time. It’s so realistic I wonder if the author took it from his diary or something. Everything about it is supersaturated with authenticity and teaches better than any other article I’ve read. Kudos to the author, and I would love to see this style of article take off.

I feel like it's unfair to smear right-leaning political philosophy (limited government, low taxes, business-friendly environment) with the actions of the republican party base in 2020, which included but was not limited to: wild conspiracy theories about Covid-19 being both a complete hoax and a Chinese bioweapon, wild conspiracy theories about election rigging, and public health disinformation. There is reasonable right-leaning political thought that's worthy of debate and discussion, and that's not at all what 'the right' was spreading on facebook.
The aluminum frame could easily have a curved beveled edge instead of a straight edge with two sharp points for the cutout.

And the wonderful issues that can come with it sometimes. Although I suspect much less now that large responses are more common.

Back in the day a very popular registrar that included DNS service would have random issues with the size of DNS response when it switched over to TCP, returning servfail instead of answer.

I'm guessing it was a load balanced cluster and some of the servers were broken. We reported the issue a few times but never heard back, as expected.
Bakersfield at least has agriculture and oil extraction industries. But the heat and the air quality make it an unattractive place to live.

I remember using weather fax on the Pacific Ocean. Far away from shore, using a short wave radio, you could receive weather forecasts and even weather maps, black and white.
There were thermal paper printers connected to the radio, and voila, you had a satellite weather map. Later on you could connect it to your laptop.
I wonder if they still transmit?

The broker fee IME is usually an extra month of rent due at the time of signing the lease. Because in certain cities the vast majority of apartments will follow this convention, and it's not really something that will be mentioned until you're in the process of formally applying (unless you ask), I don't see it having a market effect in the same way that raising the rent would.
I just mean that there are certain events that happen in clusters around your peer group (graduation, marriage, kids, divorce, retirement, etc) that will appear as a pattern to you (and me) that are not actually clustered in the broader population that may drive the trends you see.
We disassembled the 2k rom back then. There are routines for drawing text, character by character, pixel by pixel. The code is terribly not-optimized but fits in 2k including the character set. Hardware just has a single frame buffer at a fixed address. 4 pixels per byte, 32 bytes per line, and that includes over scan and horizontal blanking so 112 to 114 pixels wide 3 scan lines tall. Doubling the pixel clock, devoting more ram to it, and using the empty rom socket would have made it quite a machine for back then.
> Nordic countries have minimal need for cooling and high levels of insulation minimize the need for heating.

I bought this lovely house built in the 1910s...

> On top of this 30k is on the high end for ground source heat pumps.

Do note that this estimate included the cost for equipping the house with water-based radioators.
"It assumes a blended cost of capital of 10% which is very reasonable for utility infrastructure projects even in developing countries. The World Bank charges rates of about 3% for infrastructure projects."

- I invite you as an investor to go to a developing country's bank and ask for a 10-million-dollar loan with <=10% interest rate to build anything. I don't know where they get these numbers (they conviniently say "Lazard estimates"). They are plain wrong.

"I don't get the capital cost argument, both onshore wind and solar PV have between a third and a quarter the capital cost per KW capacity compared to a modern coal plant for example. As I said combined cycle gas is currently competitive but the price trajectories mean that solar and wind will not only be cheaper over their lifetimes but the capital cost will be less.
Nor do I get the grid argument which is an argument against all utility scale generation, not just solar or wind. Storage or more commonly idling gas backup is required to support fossil fuel generation also.
"

- Had they had the access to cheap capital (or any capital) to build a grid they would have done so.

What you propose is for them to starve for some generations until they can build a grid. And even when they do, you will want to sell them more expensive equipment (electric cars, batteries for their grid etc).

Fossils can work without a grid, and they can already improve dramatically life and productivity to enable later public investments to infrastructure.

It is renewables that require huge initial capital investment to work without a grid. Fossils are pay as you go. You only need for example fuel oil in winter to warm your house with a couple of heaters. That is a cost of < $500 USD / year. To run two electric heaters (~10kw), you will need a big enough solar panel and battery to keep it running at night. So now you are in the tune of $20,000 USD.

*
"
Repeating the claim that deriving more energy from solar and wind or hydro will impoverish people doesn't make it true. To support the claim you need to show that it's a more expensive way of providing electrical energy to people compared to alternative fossil fuel based generation. I've read no analysis which would support such a claim." *

- Covered already.
> Calculate the time anyone takes to write synonyms

Did a quick Google search - there are ~3k emojis and ~100 were added in 2020.

Sure... it would've been a time consuming process to write synonyms for all emojis, but after the initial pass it shouldn't be a huge effort to update the list for new emojis. This would have the added benefit of having a human validated dataset, compared to what GPT3 might produce.

Also, there are resources such as Emojipedia which have at-least 2 or 3 synonyms per emoji. With that in perspective, the figure of 5k / 10k synonyms mentioned on your website doesn't seem that 'groundbreaking'.

I don't mean to undermine your work... the emoji search on macOS IS terrible. Just wanted to understand what value GPT3 brought to your product.
Good advice as long as you don't take it too literally.

The most important thing is to work closely with your manager on expectations. If someone from another department comes to you with a proposal, an ask, or a directive, you don't want to say yes without first consulting with your manager. Depending on company politics, some managers might try to rope new employees into doing work that isn't actually part of their job description.

Discovering expectations and then proactively managing those expectations is key in any role.
I think its an insinuation that letsencrypt is a honeypot.
It's been long rumored that privacy-as-a-product companies are actually three letter agency honey pots. ProtonMail actually has some connections to NSA investment firms and some former NSA staff on their board. There could be good explanations here, and there could be bad explanations, however, we don't know the role each of these components play in the larger sum; we can only guess and speculate.

In that way, an ambitious project that gives away certificates that were formerly worth a lot of money would be a pretty slick honeypot because now you could stow away private keys and have a copy of most of the encrypted webs certificates to decrypt in-flight communications.
There isn't an automated telephone network that calls you to get you involved in controversial conversations purely because the system has calculated that these conversations will drive you to use the telephone more, all in order to expose you to more telephone-based advertising.

Hey, I admire your spirit and enthusiasm.

However, one thing to keep in mind is that below 500nm a lot of the chemicals are extremely toxic and not the kind of thing that garage hackers are qualified to handle in an environmentally safe manner.

Arsenic, phosphene gas, hydrogen fluoride, nasty solvents. I build a lot of crazy stuff in my shop, but I don't even trust myself to dispose of these correctly. If makers like myself get involved in this we're going to end up with a lot of new superfund sites. In residential neighborhoods.

And then of course there's the ion implanter, which none of the fab employees want to spend much time around...

My take: Shitty teachers and a completely fragmented curriculum and set of standards that has far too much control in the hands of local idiots. The fact that localities can have so much influence over curriculum is absurd. And the lack of national standards is a joke.
I thought there was a lot of gray area in there, depending on the country. If you go to a conference or a meeting in some countries, for example, you are obviously "working" while on that visa, arguably remote, and it's often the case that is done on a "tourist" visa for many countries. I thought this was the case for most EU, and it's the case for some South American countries.

Some countries obviously don't allow that - I recall I needed an invitation for China and South Africa, for example for some conferences, although I think they were still tourist visas.

The main issue here is less doing it, but getting sufficiently nice results. I've done work in generative AI before and right now the state of the art is passable on single images with some but not enough control and is still weak on videos without heavy structure requirements. I expect in 5-10 years we will have good enough models (or hardware) to do short video generation and the question will get tested then. I also think a meaningful good video requires audio and have fun making well aligned text (for dialogue) audio of that text, and video frames. Aligning all that generation together is still challenging today.

b) how to make sure you actually sit down to do the first thing

c) how to make the goals/steps achievable and small enough that you get to the second step

The third sentence:

>Its practitioners, called homeopaths, believe that a substance that causes symptoms of a disease in healthy people can cure similar symptoms in sick people; this doctrine is called similia similibus curentur, or "like cures like".

I think homeopathy just applies to the pseudoscientific/fake "like cures like" dilution method. The broad category is just known as "alternative medicine", I believe. Some other forms of alternative medicine aren't necessarily quite as baseless.
I don't see anything about qr//x that makes regexes built this way less vulnerable to the kind of exponential backtracking problem under discussion here.

I do see a great opportunity to, by assuming interpolated qr// substrings have the locality the syntax falsely suggests, inadvertently create exactly that kind of mishap with it being minimally no easier, and potentially actually more difficult, to notice.

Write your code however you like, of course, including concatenating strings and passing the result to 'eval'. The last time I dealt with more Perl than a shell one-liner was around 2012, and that the language encourages this kind of thing is one of the reasons I'm glad of that.
Absolutely true; you can easily double your bang for buck in California housing by moving outside of major areas. And those less populated areas are still _really_ nice.

But for every buck you save, you lose an hour of your life to our terrible transportation infrastructure. Twice the house, four times the drive. It's why the housing price equation is as unbalanced as it is here.

I worked for a vendor that charged $$$$$$$$$. The software itself was often not the biggest cost component, it was what it cost to get it working in accordance with federal/state/local labor laws, any relevant union contracts, and company policy.

It was a complicated software package that did nothing out of the box and everything required significant configuration of the rule engine to account for the customer’s needs. It shipped with some building blocks for the rule engine but often/always required custom code to facilitate things the customer needed.

My job was to fly out to customer sites and perform the custom implementation tasks.
I'm saying this as some who's done UX and is familiar with the problems in GIMP, there really is no quick fix that can be done here. If you view everything as a UX issue that can simply be solved by moving things around, then we can't really have a discussion because there is no meaningful distinction we can make. The major issues with GIMP are mostly on the backend. The work is being put in to fix it, but it's slow going because there are not enough people working on it. I agree with you that people would really see it as a UX improvement if there were good shape tools like photoshop has, but my point is you can't just get that by changing around the ellipse select tool. If it were that easy, somebody would have done it by now. The GIMP people I've known have said they would love to fix a lot of things but it's harder than it seems and they don't have infinite time.

Just to make it a little clearer what I mean here: if there were actual shape drawing capabilities on the backend then it would be pretty easy to make any kind of circle/ellipse tool that you wanted, or set up the circle tool to do what you want by default, but those don't exist right now.
Patents on genes actually are a thing. So that example is pretty false. Whether they should be a thing is a separate question, but right now discovery of a gene and it's usefulness can be patented and is done for medical patents.

I would also vote for "data engineer" (it's my current job title).

You very likely don't want a data scientist to be doing a data engineer's job (and they probably don't want to be doing it themselves!). While there are similarities, data engineering tends to be a lot closer to software development than data science. If you're advertising for a data scientist role, don't expect them to be happy if 80% of their job is writing ETL scripts and cleaning datasets.

I think the reason there has been a flattening in data scientist job growth more recently is that lots of companies hired data scientists to build cool ML applications but had no infrastructure in place to support advanced data analysis. These companies didn't realize they needed to walk before they could run, and that what they really wanted was data analysts and engineers to build the foundation for a strong data science function.

Tools like dbt have been great for advancing an ELT approach to managing data pipelines, where modeling for BI tools, business users, and data scientists alike can all happen in the warehouse and ensure consistency in data usage across the company.
What about the inflows to each?
That's so vague as to be meaningless.
And I sincerely appreciate your doing some of that thinking here, out loud.

> We are just existing

You may be just existing but some very powerful politicians and businessmen are spreading lies and hiding the truth so we can continue to just exist and never realize that the systems which determine how we exist (eat, move, live, consume...) are destroying our habitat/climate for the benefit of a few. There are many ways to exist, and our current ways are very deliberate with regards to their impact on life (eg neonicotinoids).
