The same channel proposed using a similar kit with a donor motorcycle. You get the advantage of a stronger frame, better brakes and better tires: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2zlYpy6QCM&t=300s
Fuel cell and battery electric car R&D are about the same age. Both technologies were actively explored from the 1990s. For personal vehicles BEV is hands down better. The next generation of BEVs charge at double the voltage of the current crop, with charge rates of over 350kW. This brings the 20%-80% charge time down to less than 15 minutes, or about the time it takes to use the facilities and drink a coffee on a long journey. And you can refill the car every night at home on super cheap electricity rates (a major advantage of BEV), so only on actual driving-all-day-long road trips do you ever need to charge during the day.
I made an ebike from a brand new Decathlon "rockrider" MTB 3 years ago, and have ridden about 10k km on it since. I changed brake pads often, and tires a couple of times, etc. but the frame is fine.

It's really life changing. I used to ride a motorcycle, and I still own one, but I seldom use it anymore; the ebike is absolutely perfect for short commutes (under 20 km each way).

That said, complete ebikes are more available now, and at good prices, so conversion kits are becoming less relevant.
Definitely a learning moment for me. Means that the question of Sweden may not be so simple.

That said, most of the population doesn’t live in Stockholm, so that probably was not the right idea to start to begin with.

As another commenter pointed out, Sweden did worse than its neighbors who have a similar population distribution, and I think that's the more interesting take.
That are different kind of children. In case of climate change it means the next generation of adults.
In terms of cyber security it means actual children and is simply used to trigger protective instincts and make counter arguments seems cruel and suspicious.
Especially because child porn isn't not the initial but followup crime. The initial one is the actual abuse which isn't prevented.
I saw a large organization which was the epitome of this -- Executive Directors would propose ambitious ML projects, Directors would create plans and teams, Managers would execute on budgets, create more detailed plans, and then...someone actually needed to do the work.

Because of the length of the effort, the annual compensation would already have been handed out and the EDs, Directors, Managers had already "extracted" their compensation for the project, but usually had none left for the workers who eventually needed to do the actual work.

Not unexpectedly, a rough job was somehow jammed thru with understaffed, underpaid, and unmotivated low-level workers to actually "deliver" on the "AI" projects -- so victory could be declared at the top level...and new projects could begin.

This isnt an ML problem, i'm sure the whole cycle has been repeated with technology-of-the-day generation after generation. It has more to do with governance and organizational maturity to measure real impacts.
The pandemic respond we got was not at all what we planned. It was using something completely untested and unproven with huge massive negative side effects.

I didn't know this plant would burn you. I've seen a lot of it around the Pacific Northwest. It grows like crazy and is really tall.
Given that a lot of science gets funded by the government, of course it's political.

Was just listening to a podcast yesterday about the attempts to develop an AIDS vaccine. It was definitely not prioritized in the early days because it was viewed as a "lifestyle disease".

https://gimletmedia.com/shows/science-vs/dvhkd5k/presenting-...

Obviously the decision as to what gets researched is going to be at least partially political.. there's a finite amount of money to split between NASA and the CDC for example.

But it would be really nice if results weren't politicised.
I don't use a debugger. When I have a problem that I need to narrow down I state my hypotyhesis of what is going on in some kind of unit test and narrow it down that way.

I am currently working on a Python/Django project of around 45k lines of code, 28k of which are tests. For me, this approach works quite well. It is not that I am against debugging or that I don't value debugging as a tool, but I just never feel the need to use one.

The tests also have a nice side-effect: because I do TDD a lot, I mostly end up with a lot of small understandable units, so I am effectively preventing code with properties that need me to follow each statement one by one.

I hardly ever feel the need to interrupt the running process to inspect the current variables. In many cases, this would be futile anyway, because I started writing a lot of generators.
I find this fascinating and am a big supporter of FSF and GNU.

All that said, I am not an expert so would like to learn more. Can somebody let me know why one cannot just take the assembly version of an existing compiler and carefully review its code to be happy with it and then build everything from that verified compiler? Why does it need so many steps?
Did I miss the part where they show that pedestrian deaths have actually increased? They show that the proportion of SUVs hitting pedestrians have increased which makes sense because there are more SUVs, but I didn’t see that the actual deaths have increased. Maybe I missed it!
> They do care about everyone who was at the demonstrations, which affects the police directly and which threatens the role that the police have in protecting private capital.

Who are the regular people asserting their first amendment rights who are being hunted down? I haven't seen that. I have seen a bunch of insurrectionists having these tools used on them, and that's frankly a laudable use of these surveillance tools.

If you're using a peaceful protest as a cover for looting, honestly I enthusiastically encourage that 'they' hunt you down, because you're just a vanilla criminal at that point. That's an ideal outcome for the justice system.
I don't know that I agree, because once a thing becomes part of the public square, the rules change.

This guy is wrong when he says the UK "has a culture of commuting on two wheels." We have a huge problem with cycle infrastructure, as evidenced by the stats he presents. Ok, London's probably decent but transport everywhere else in the country is built around cars.
> No it didn't. It ruled that trumps account was acting as an official government account, and so trumps account fell under stricter regulations that govern how the government can communicate. Twitter was still able to ban his account though, because Twitter isn't the government!

Again, I suspect you missed a bit:

"U.S. District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald in Manhattan ruled on May 23 that comments on the president’s account, and those of other government officials, were public forums and that blocking Twitter Inc users for their views violated their right to free speech under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution."

Ref: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-twitter-idUSKCN...

When governments use social media as a way to communicate, it changes their standing as at least one court has ruled so far.
It will never survive. Looks like we are back to March 2020 levels of panic again based on how my comments are doing… sad.
The irony is that there are techniques for dealing with noisy/mislabeled/bad data (e.g. gold loss correction [0], errors-in-variables models [1]), but that stuff isn't "sexy" and not enough practitioners know about it.

I think the phrase e-bike generally refers to a bicycle, with operable pedals, that also has an electric motor to assist when peddling, and possibly a throttle.

When I think electric motorcycle, I think of something that does not have pedals at all.

As someone living in a neighbouring country, this is bullshit. They are perfect comparators. Basically exactly the same.

Just because biological contaminants exist doesn't mean adding more creates more issues. More trees also means more rats and pigeons. What's your argument? That just because we already have a bad thing doesn't mean that a similar bad thing isn't bad? That doesn't make much sense and is a pretty lazy argument.

The article makes a lot of unsubstantiated claims, but one that catches my eye is the idea that paying people to interview is more inclusive because it allows companies to issue challenges that are more representative of the actual job. But are there actually any data out there that support this claim?

This is a common canard. I can see how it might make some intuitive sense, but it appears to be utterly mistaken. When I brought up the idea at my current workplace, we ended up choosing not to pay candidates, because almost 100% of our female software engineers declared that they would not have started an interview process where they were being paid unless they were VERY certain they were qualified for the role.
> But 50/50 would be effectively the same meaning as 20/20.

This isn't obvious; consider that having 3,000/3,000 vision ("I can't read text all that well when it's half a mile away") says pretty much nothing about how clearly you can see things that are 20 feet away.

Nearsightedness and farsightedness are both characterized by "normal vision" at certain distances which becomes markedly worse at certain other distances.

They aren't merely censoring, they are also libeling them by attaching a misinformation/disinformation type of label, or adding their own speech to it.

I got motivated to have a mini cluster from an old blog post by the person who did duckduckgo. There is a website called servethehome (sp?) that has useful resources. My home cluster did not age well .. it still has a ton of RAM and cores but I worry about my power bill when the beast is running.

I also have a nice desktop with a 3090 for DL stuff and a modest electronics hobby lab (basic stuff like oscilloscope, function generator, bench power supplies along with a healthy stock of MCUs and electronic components).

On the fabrication side, I have a 3D printer and just got a cricut (hoping to use it as practice for intricate prints on the library epilog, which I have accessed in the past).

I also have young kids now and time is scarce. I'm really trying to teach the oldest one (5 years old) and some days are really rewarding!
The conversation was a waste of time because you never wanted to have an honest exchange. The very first thing you did was attack my credibility by accusing me of cherry picking, then it went dowhnill from there. At no point did you make an effort to listen to what I said and understand what I meant. You just wanted to have an argument on the internet.

The point is very clear and that someone is using Orwell to defend academics calling each other slurs in genteel settings.

Obviously, that has nothing to do with Orwell, or even 'Free Speech'.

As for 'literally tantamount' - the phrasing is poor, and would work better with only one of the two words, probably better just 'tantamount' or frankly neither. But it's completely moot. It doesn't change the fairly obvious implication of the statement.

Free Speech is important, Orwell is important - but neither have anything to do with arbitrary ad-hominem slander among intellectuals in public.

The author of the article is effectively making a personal plea, not really an intellectual one. Really what he's saying is 'I'm not that offended, don't dump this woman because she said something really raw'.

Even if you remove the slur, the a statement such as "People think you're an idiot" is just terrible, playground rhetoric. Why would a University want to work with someone who makes arguments such as that that wouldn't even work well on Reddit?

Use Orwell for where it was meant to be used.

Yes, after thinking about it, maybe they shouldn't have used the word "stall" because in this case it's a bit ambiguous
Why is it socially awkward to link to an old resource? As far as I can tell, Sheldon Brown's blog is a fairly well-known resource, and it is frequently linked on other biking forums.
from one LA resident to another, amen to that. we were just walking down our street this morning and discussing, for the umpteenth time, whether our neighbors would actually be willing to take care of trees if we went out and bought them and planted them. the problem, as other commenters have pointed out, is that they do require upkeep, but since they're living/breathing things the more hardy ones can really be abused and still survive. The question is how do you incentivize the people who benefit from the trees--the residents, businesses, other local stakeholders--to actually maintain them?

on our street there are countless trees that were likely planted decades ago, but a lack of care by the residents makes them mere shadows of their potential.

and for anyone interested, LA's a great example of how trees provide a return on investment (actual dollar return outside the tremendous ecological benefits). go onto google maps and look at the satellite view. people who have never been here can point out the expensive neighborhoods because they are the greener ones.

It really does us no favors to hide the things people want to say. All their thoughts and intentions are still there except now we don’t know it.
So the court only strictly protects those rights "most of the time" and that creates a complex legal situation that requires a lifetime of study...how then can the average citizen know what they are allowed to say and trust that when they actually really need those protections that they won't end up as one of the other times where the court values government control over freedom of speech.

We'll see if the Supreme Court has anything to say when the US finally get Assange extradited and puts him on trial for his speech. I don't have a lot of confidence he'll get any protections.
The NaN payload's debug information is allowed to use the sign bit as part of the debug code (according to my knowledge of IEEE 754). Personally, I cannot imagine needing that many debug codes in most common usage, and I don't know if many implementations do, but it would definitely be something to check in your specific implementation details.
It doesn’t matter. The horse has left the barn already.

Now that every country knows that Apple can do this, they have a pretext for forcing them to do it in the manner of said country’s choosing.

That to me is the real loss here.
The FUNDAMENTAL reality of any Japanese technology companies:

Do JAPANESE customers want it enough to pay for it?

If the answer is "no", nothing in existence can change the strategy, design or plans they have. That goes for industrial equipment, customer goods, and certainly for cars.

It doesn't matter who else does the alternative, or who else tries to shame them into something - it won't work. Gaijin opinions count for infinitely less than Nihongo opinions.

Anyone who's not Japanese and has done business with a Japanese business quickly finds this out. If you work for a US subsidiary, you quickly learn NOTHING you suggest will ever be adopted unless major Japanese markets says the same thing or think it's a good idea. And then it will only be implementing with a peculiar Japanese form.

It's just how reality is.
One part of the problem is that the debate got incredibly polarized with ad hominem and thinking of the children. The majority of people on the internet citing 'science' and 'data' (regardless of side) are people who have an opinion and found a fact to support it to which they then cling for dear life.

Another part of the problem is the degree to which our understanding of facts has evolved. Take, for instance, the body of evidence for and against PPE of all types and compare it to what was being said in March of 2020.

The major failing of public policy was, in my opinion, the inability to articulate the difference between what we knew and what we thought. This was enhanced and exacerbated by the public wanting answers now, and refusing to countenance "we don't know".

When historians looks back at this period of history, they are going to marvel at the degree to which we lionized people who "stuck to their guns" and the degree to which we denigrate people who change their opinion when the facts change.

Your intent and persistence is enough. A team-game's outcome is dependent on the entire team. In a team-game, you alone can't do the change alone. Expect real change to take about a decade, and mostly driven by other people than yourself.

> What evidence exists seems to show (not really surprisingly) that the cars are safer with AP engaged than when not.

Good way to change goal posts. There are many, many instances of Teslas hitting large stationary objects on roads, and who knows more instances of near misses due to driver intervention.

When the AP can be engaged, which is usually 'better' conditions. Unfortunately humans don't always have the option of driving in 'better' conditions, so this is an entirely cherry picked subset of data.

In the low cost US states ($0.12 per kWh) that's $0.036 per mile. In highest costs states (0.38 per kWh) that's $0.114 per mile.

Gas cost per mile at 30mpg @ $3.00/gal is $0.10.

In most cases, yes, it's going to save money. You'd need a high MPG car in an expensive electricity state that has somewhat cheap gas to really flip that.
