Yes that's true about Italian farmers! I grew up on a farm and we had controlled burnings every now and then. But when speaking of forests/unmanaged land/natural parks, there seems to be a much different sensitivity.

At least among people that I know[0], there is a widespread belief that when a forest burns it will never recover to its original state, or it will do it only after an exceedingly long time[1]. The same belief doesn't apply to agricultural land[2].

[0] Obviously this is just based on my direct experience, maybe in different parts of Italy or in different social circles it would be different.

[1] Again, I think this is more true in some environments than others - for example I seem to remember reading that, for tropical rainforests, the recovery time is very long. I don't know much about this topic though.

[2] Even though it's probably the case that agricultural controlled burning affects aspects such as soil biology, beneficial species, pests, etc.

Hi guys, I like the idea of this. I wanted to give a shout-out on Twitter, but @deskimoapp is currently suspended.
In the short term: yes, but it is rather less dense than hardwood so you'll end up with a lot more acreage.

Poplar/Maple/Oak/Pine are all good options, with the slow growers storing the carbon for the longest time, and even when not harvested they won't rot nearly as fast (rot is best looked at as slow burning in this context).

And then not to harvest them until they die of 'natural causes', hopefully not a forest fire.
> From a variant that only exists because of unvaccinated people

I don't blame you for believing this because rhetoric from Fauci and others is constantly pushing this idea.

But if you want to be well informed you should at least be aware of a couple major counterpoints.

First, people who have been infected and recovered have robust and durable immunity that is at least equally as effective as vaccination [1][2].

Second, the current mRNA vaccines induce a highly targeted immune response to the spike protein, which - when coupled with mass vaccination - applies tremendous selective pressure on the virus [3][4][5]. This can actually further enhance the fitness of the virus. I've linked to several more peer reviewed papers to further demonstrate my points [6][7][8] - these are serious concerns being put forth by highly regarded researchers at top institutions in the country.

It’s all the paperwork that’s a nightmare. Drivers licenses, USCIS and it’s fucking endless nonsense, infinite paperwork. Just paperwork paperwork paperwork.

Massive taxes without any benefit.

And most Americans haven’t a clue how much trouble it is. It’s a constant thundercloud in your life.

Anyway, Americans are super friendly and very nice. A few among them are very motivated and the country is unbelievably wealthy so there is a lot of opportunity. Most locals don’t like to challenge themselves very much but the country will give to you tenfold what you put in so it’s worth all the pain and then some.

Oh and don’t go to all the weird places if you aren’t white. Pick an election map and stick to cities and areas that were colored blue. On the Internet people will get very offended about this and tell you how the finest people they know are in the other parts and they much prefer people be upfront and straightforward and all that. But here’s straight talk: stick to the places colored blue.

In addition to the pop culture issue here, I think the other side of the issue is bike-shedding.

> make products look bigger than they really are, especially in online photos

I've noticed that tiny condos and apartments in real estate photos look enormous. I'm undecided on whether this is a deliberate attempt to mislead or an artifact of having to use a wide angle lens to capture the whole room (but an artifact that the seller and real estate agent like).

I installed a whole-house fan [1] when AQI outside is good (especially during fire season) - usually early mornings or late evenings - outside air, despite being somewhat dirty is often better than stale indoor air. We do this every day even when it's cold outside for at least 15m. In summer sometimes we leave on the "low" setting all night instead of running the AC.

Please do. Pretty please.
Perhaps the higher heat has something to do with it. I still suspect that not all particulates are made equal, so even though burning food makes more PM2.5, perhaps the particulates from the gas combustion are worse for us in some way.

Still, I try to avoid any of it! I have an induction stove, but now do things like skin-on salmon in the air fryer because it produces basically no smoke, whereas it used to smoke my house out when I did it on the frypan. Requires a lot less supervision than to stop it burning in the pan too, which is nice (but perhaps I was always just doing it on too hot a pan)...
I recall reading that temperatures 12 feet underground range between 55F and 65F (13-18C) year around. Found this chart [ https://www.builditsolar.com/Projects/Cooling/time-lag-vs-de... ] which suggests that's true with a ground-temp range of 42F to 82F (6-27C). And then there's Coober Pedy, which enjoys a 104F temp swing each year.

If/when things get dire, there's always underground (moving into new digs). Those cities in Turkey are getting easier to understand.

This doesn't really seem like "Overfitting" as I understand the concept. This is more like training a model to do a specific task rather than a more general task.

I've worked on a system like that, writing software on a project base for enterprise clients.

Turns out sysadmins get REALLY nervous when you tell them your application needs permission to use DDL at runtime. It required a lot more filling out forms.
That interpretation of "clean room" is largely a myth in the context of open source reverse engineering projects. That level of rigour only really applies when you have companies directly opposed to each other, e.g. someone making unlicensed games for a game console by reverse engineering the DRM.

Clean-rooming is not a legal requirement to avoid copyright infingement; it's a legal defense against claims of copyright infringement.

In practice, the goal when doing open source projects like this, without a legal team to consult, is to use methods and approaches that yield a result similar to strict clean-room RE and result in an end product that is not a derivative work of the original code. The tricky thing here is that you need to be able to trust that the people doing the work knows how to do this safely.

The main reason those projects failed was quite simple: they were too small. Make it large enough, limit occupancy and stand back and nature will figure out a way to make it work, it doesn't need engineering, it needs scale and patience. After all, a planet is exactly that: a closed cycle biosphere that somehow balances itself if we don't mess too much with it.
I appreciate this info.

Normally, I found, when filling out a 1040 and walking through line by line, you are able to discover the forms you need and guide yourself quite easily. In the case of citizens living abroad, there is a publication as well that mentions everything, including all the forms and the FBAR you talk about. I found the process is quite discoverable and linear.

Also - the FBAR did not apply to me based on how I moved my money back to my domestic account, the foreign account was a current account for local bills, its balance never exceeded $5k.

Seems like this should be enforced at a government level.. either the house owner takes responsibility for poor fire preparation (i.e, they might lose their house, have increased insurance premiums), or the government fines people for endangering their neighbours.

Apple's iPhone revenu just doubled from last year in China -- now 17 billion. Thats not a small number. The play against Huawei has done it's job, apparently -- it's quite mortally injured.

For sure the CCP would love to scan everyone's phones for files or images it finds troubling and for sure every country will eventually be allowed to have its own entries in this database or even their own custom DB.

So my cynical side says...Apple just sold out. MASSIVELY. The loosers -- everyone pretty much that buys their phones.

I've been playing around with AI art generators for a while now and they are always great fun. Though it weirdly motivates to do some painting or creating of my own as if I need to compete with it.

People don't usually write the rules of a game or a MCTS to run on the GPU. They write it in Python, Lua, or C. If they write it in Python, then the GPU will idle all the time. If they write it in Lua or C then it will not.
Why have PCIe when you don't need it? Nothing else is on PCIe internally on mobile SoCs. It's just not a thing. That would just add silicon that you don't need.

All these "crazy" design decisions only look crazy from the point of view of x86/server hardware. From the point of view of an embedded SoC this is all reasonable and standard practice.
Deliberate and a well known practice. Sometimes it's done poorly and leads to hilariously bad photos (e.g. a fridge as wide as a 72 inch TV).
> when the alternative is a mutating often deadly virus

You're presenting a false dichotomy here - the virus will always mutate regardless of whether everyone has been vaccinated or not.

In fact, there is evidence that the mRNA vaccines in their current form - coupled with mass vaccination - can further enhance the fitness of the virus [1][2][3]. This is a serious risk being raised by experts at top institutions in the country. You won't hear about it in the news though, at least not yet.

I've got plenty more references to share if you're interested in learning more.

This reminds me of the condo in Florida which recently collapsed killing many of its inhabitants/owners.

There had been warning signs and reports that something should be done to fix the building. But because it was a condo the fixes would have had to be paid by the individual condo-owners. So they voted not to do the expensive repairs, and then many of them died because of that.

Maybe climate-change is a bit like that?

You seem concerned about app stores, I think this is a different topic, I do not remember of any engine that is forcing developers to use a specific app store but I could see it happening that some engine will get features that would create such a dependency if used.

A different solution I think works is to have the developers do support , you have your regular support handle the first contact but then have support forward non trivial stuff to developers and have them respond to customers. After a dev has to tackle same weird issue over and over again with support he will have the idea on how to make the thing more intuitive or less buggy.
I do wish the author kept it all with XML instead of doing some JSON conversion and then disclaiming it every time. I wish they used real, accurate, examples.

The author constantly disclaims their approach. Why are they demonstrating in json, and why are they demonstrating in what they call 'pseudo-saml' when everything they need is right there?

They don't prove that SAML is insecure, because there is no vulnerable SAML in the post.
Fair enough. I was - still am - in the act early and decisively camp, and got shouted down by the people who felt that that would affect their preferred lifestyle too much and it still grates. But you have a good point, it could have been much worse. At the same time: this isn't over yet and it may still get much worse, we are still at 2/3rds of the peak more and more nasty strains of the virus keep popping up.

When a virus jumps species there is a chance that it will evolve into more benign species over time, unfortunately COVID seems to be going in the other direction, it is getting better at infecting us and doing more damage to allow itself to spread better. And our slow-walking of counter measures has created an ideal environment with just enough selection pressure to evolve some even nastier strains.

On a global scale this is far from over, and there is a very good chance that the places that are now breathing a sigh of relief are going to be hit hard by later waves of more dangerous versions of this virus.

So 'mitigate' is a word that is best used retrospectively.
Gas and it vents outside.
Note that XML is not the problem. The very same problems exist with json also. There is still no clarification on duplicate keys, key ordering, and similar unspec'd oversights.

One last point: some countries have formally approved the vaccines already. So your focus on an US FDA approval is a little strange.
