He Man and Elon Musk = He-Musk
Welcome to the He-Musk Universe! He-What? Yes you read correctly. Two cult figures combined. A cartoon character and a real one. He-Man & Elon Musk.

He-Musk is an art project based on NFTs (non-fungible tokens). There are 5 collections planned. Each collection contains exactly 5 images. In total this corresponds to 25 images which are each offered only 1x.

The assets are designed in pixel art look or also called 8-bit art. Each collection is focusing on a very specific theme telling different stories or scenes which are well know to the internet world. One last thing you should know before we jump to the artworks: The individual artworks are published in a time-controlled manner. The themes of the future collections will be announced at the time they are published and the individual pieces in the collection will not be shown all at once.
What an amazing comment, that just blew my mind. Talk about a paradigm shift.

> administration was explicit and made it publicly known China was more than just an adversary.

You're very seriously completely missing a major point.

No, literally everything Trump did was helpful to China.

Like, a lot

Sorry if the stream of whatever garbage you expose yourself to in order to shape your view of the world has conditioned you to believe otherwise. For what it's worth, everybody with your line of thinking, that that administration was "hard on China", is just another reason the article is correct and why China is going to make the US look like a complete joke this century.

But keep saying Orange man very hard on Jhyyynna if it makes you feel better during your time on Earth.

I'm not confident in western numbers either. There's a definite conflict of interest when governments are tasked with collecting data which rationalizes their use of emergency powers.
Love that you were able to speak openly about this with your manager! (And that you posted this on your company blog!) Kudos for normalizing this stuff.

> There is absolutely no reason that a kid should have to wait in a queue to borrow an e-book because the 3 "copies" they have are already in use.

There definitely is a reason, it keeps the cost fixed for the library. Libraries have a fixed budget, they can't pay per-use because they don't receive income per-use.
You kind of get that with Bluetooth keyboards.
Ah, yes, it does. For some reason it didn't come to me.

The OP was not pointing out that exponentials are C^infinity, they were pointing out that d/dt e^t = e^t no matter how many times you differentiate, meaning that the curve is "kinking upwards" at all orders in the same way.
Wouldn't it be preferable to just have a 400W CPU :)
The racers (pure bikers) won't be interested in battery assist either. For the vast array of use cases that ev bikes enable (basically, go to the Netherlands for all the things they do with bikes) for decarbonized, fun, short trips, this eliminates a vast amount of headaches.

This drivetrain has regen braking, a vastly simplified consumer experience, and MIGHT enable solving the other #1 problem with bikes: security. You can effectively lock the motor with a chip and an app inside a frame so it won't go anywhere, and even stealing it in a van and hauling it elsewhere to get it working isn't worth it.

I assume the good thing about the snowball effect is that "making it to the frontpage" gives you guaranteed and pronounced exposure over a day or two - even though it's not maximizing the number of good links shown.

in biology we have bioRxiv, but there's still a lot of hesitancy to submit to it, especially by PIs.

It’s actually not a government website. That’s what’s so insidious about this law that sets it apart from others — it deputizes (and rewards) citizens to sue anyone suspected of aiding an abortion.
As someone who's extremely skeptical about the premise of AGI, I don't see how these results (if they are replicable) would imply anything much about it. Computers are not exactly storage-limited as it is, and latency and (cross-sectional) bandwidth to memory tend to be a lot more impactful than raw capacity in terms of impact on effective computational power. Besides that, neurons have a lot more stuff in them than just microtubules (since they're living cells), which gives us a lot of wiggle room to improve on them even if our actual circuits are potentially less space-efficient than the biological alternatives. IMO, the appeal of studying biological organisms for ideas for computation is a lot more about things like energy efficiency and robustness than pure performance.

It would be very hard, mostly. At least without just embedding cmake to begin with. The language is so quirky and the quirks even vary by version (if you have a cmake project long enough you'll start to see warnings about quirks you're relying on from old versions that you can flag on or off).

And at that point, your user's probably just gonna be asking "well I guess I may as well just use cmake."
That's because box fan are not designed as static pressure fan. They are a airflow fan for the purpose of moving much air as possible with minimal resistance. Static pressure designed as forced pull/push air, it have slightly thick blade and have a different motor for it. The air purifier uses the static pressure fan because of the filter media.

Take computer fans for example. There are two common case fan type, the airflow and the static pressure. The airflow fan is for the tower case, the static pressure one is for the radiator (water-cooling kit).
This makes me miss older, simpler protocols. Sure, a parallel cable could also be compromised to snoop but at least it couldn't pretend to be some other device or install rootkits.
I've heard the Ehrlichman quote, but just to be super clear:

I am vehemently against most aspects of the drug war. I've even grown multiple cannabis plants with a hydroponic system/grow tent I setup in my basement. Heroin and opiates are on a different level due to the physical aspects of the addiction/withdrawal, as well as the effects opiates have on suppressing psychological pain and creating a slippery slope for treatable mental illness to untreatable mental illness.

While I support allowing doctors to administer it in designated, supervised locations, I'm 100% against the Vancouver inspired approaches advocated for by people like Johann Hari. I was once a supporter of these approaches. I witnessed implementation in 3 different communities. I was wrong, and it's an utter disaster. Giving needles to addicts so they can continue to support the black market is a dumb idea. I watched it turn entire neighborhoods into inhospitable hell holes in Asheville, SF, and Vancouver. No thank you.
While you're on wait there, you can read the excellent hg init https://hginit.github.io/ for inspiration.
Yeah, that's a concern to a degree. But I'll justify why I'm not really worried about it in two ways.

1) The computations we want to do may still be expressed better without consciousness. Think Chinese Room thought experiment, or philosophical zombies. In other words, we may be able to make something that can understand and execute complex commands, perceive and react to its environment, and communicate information — without having feelings, desires, or consciousness per se.

2) I'm less worried about creating new things to be unethical to than I am about the dis-ethical treatment of currently sentient beings.
Speed is counterbalanced by size. Going at 35mph is very slow when you're 300m long.

You need to survive with an aircraft once to get a picture of the carrier. Then the carrier sinks. Air superiority is a numbers game. There is precisely 0% chance that you will catch it every time.

With your strategy you have to win every time. The missile only has to hit once for the entire CSG to sink.

You don't have to survive long enough to do anything except find the position of the carrier and send it. Once that's done, it's game over. Done. Finished.
Problem in San Francisco is, you'll get people sleeping in your car if you do that.
Try putting the filter on the suction side of the fan. This will put less load than normal on the fan and there should still be enough airflow to cool the motor.
It would be more impressive if they could fit it inside the phone.

15k square mile is really not a lot for a 300m target in the ocean. I think you seriously underestimate modern surveillance.

I built a "four filter fan box" this year when the smoke started rolling in (off MERV 13 filters, I think?), and have also gone about getting the measurement devices to verify that, yes, it really does work! I used a round fan, and a lot of tape to seal things to the fan, though it appears this might not matter as much as I thought. The filter area is sufficient that the fan doesn't really struggle - fan motors burning out from a single filter (as someone else reported) is a well known failure mode, and a good reason not to just strap filters flat to a fan. They rely on the airflow to cool, and it's easy to screw that up.

Air quality (in terms of PM2.5 and PM10, the stuff my testers measure) coming out of the fan is very good - far lower than the room, and the filter will start pulling down air particulates in a room fairly quickly. If the room is around 5ug/m^3 PM2.5, the output from the fan is sub-1, and it moves enough air to do quite a few air exchanges per day. It really does make a difference.

I'm using a couple Temtop meters to measure air quality, and while they're Chinesium, they do seem to work fairly well.

Also, if you ever wondered: Use your stove's vent fans! The air quality difference in PM2.5/PM10 between cooking without those running, vs cooking with them on, is HUGE! I'll see spikes in the kitchen up well past 100ug/m^3 PM2.5 after browning meat, which is worse than it is outside in heavy forest fire smoke!

Does it work like a normal USB Cable, so can you still charge your phone with it and connect it to the PC?

I don't remember what it was called, but there was a service that did exactly this for price drop protection.

I have one that cost me $30 all in and you can't hear it at all on the lowest setting (but still decent airflow when you put your hand down). Honestly the biggest benefit in my home environment is how much it has killed the fungus gnats living in my plants. I checked the filter after running it for a few weeks and it still looked relatively clean, but probably a thousand dead flies were in the bottom of it too. I have taken other measures against these flies with not much success (vinegar traps, sticky paper, watering from the bottom, mosquito bits designed to kill larvae, I tried everything I could find one the internet to no help).
I also wrote a lot of code for this. Curious about the migration process? Let me know!

I agree; and it's necessary to distinguish anonymity from privacy. Anonymity removes any accountability, and if you add privacy to that then you tend to get the worst of people.

Privacy, however, is something that needs to be strongly enforced, and that means you have complete control of what personal and private information and communication is available to third parties. Anonymity and Privacy are necessary in places (journalists, dissidents, etc), but many people tend to think of anonymity and privacy as one in the same.

Social media with anonymity allows bad actors to masquerade as whomever they want, say anything without recourse or accountability, and social engineer people at large scales. The issue is that we tend to trust people, and if those people are foreign disinformation agents then we end up with the division we have today. Social media should be private - complete ownership of your data and audience - but it should not be anonymous.
It is an old idea. In a 1875 the first EEG showed waves. Then, naturally, theories like "alpha-rhythm is a consciousness" sprung into existence. Only at the end of XX century they became deprecated.
All of which has been common for a long time. You where already sending your unencrypted phots to Apple, that’s the point when you should be concerned. Apple and all other service providers are required by US and most other countries laws to do searches on their servers.

This is a weak analysis. There are large numbers of ‘shoebox’ style applications which pre-date iOS, and they exist on every platform. It’s a mistake to attribute their existence to iOS.

The point of a shoebox app is decouple the user model of organization of data from the file system model even as files are used for storage.

This is done because the filesystem user model is inadequate or inappropriate, or because the storage model is expected to change.

iOS allows apps to expose their data as files within the Files app without requiring them to expose the underlying files themselves.

A good example of this is Quip, which is a collaborative document editor. All of Quip’s data is stored in their online database, but it is also exposed through the files app as a set of PDFs.

Notes could expose a filesystem style view if Apple prioritized it. Of course then we’d have the issue of file format versioning etc. to deal with. If I were them I wouldn’t be rushing to make that trade-off.
Honestly it just kind of sounds like a toll road to me.

I certainly built an ugly filter box this year.

What's better? My bedroom having some home built filtration art in it, or the inside of my lungs looking like they've sucked down a lot of forest fire?

If you care that deeply about what your room looks like, great. There are plenty of good looking air filters you can pay lots of money for. I'll spend far less to have a far better filter out of the deal.
