The Musk solution is limited to transport, where emissions can be reduced economically. Other emissions sources, such as steel production, will not be solved with the same mechanism, because no single company is going to suffer the competitive disadvantage of using clean tech.
According to the article, the process is basically about removing the lignin from the wood, not adding chemicals. The knife was coated in "food grade oil" to seal it, so I suspect there are no chemicals to worry about here.
For comparison, a decently trained human male can hold approximately 80kg (175lb) per hand (350lb total) fairly easily without any assists such as straps, and without using hook grip. With hook grip or straps, the strength of your back is the limiting factor.

That said, as a first step this is very impressive and very lifelike, too.

The main issue with this is going to be proprioception more than anything - it doesn't seem like you'd be able to do what robots do: rely on position encoders. To make this do something for real it's going to need a way to know its own position, and feel pressure.

You're downvoted but you might at least savor the irony in that the detractors seemingly didn't understand what you were implying.
> Human muscle is about 20% efficient, so it probably consumes about 35 watts. Almost a tenth the power.

Being just an order of magnitude away from biology that took millions of years to develop and evolve is really impressive in my eyes!

> That feels like a stretch, given the complex needs of a brain (not just in glucose fed through veins, but also immunity protection and so much more). Brain transplant into an organic body seems easier, and even that does not address the fact that brain cells themselves age.

That said, this is probably the more reasonable argument. Ideally, eventually we'll just find ways to prevent much of the cell damage with aging - initially it probably won't lead anywhere near "biological immortality" (so it's pretty likely that everyone reading this will die and will cease to exist), but at the very least it'll lead to better quality of life at the more advanced ages and less human suffering overall!

Definitely an area that should have anywhere from 10x-100x the resources that have been allotted to it currently. Of course, one can also dream about staving off the eventual and inescapable clutches of entropy, if that allows them to live without existential crises and dread sneaking up on them, as it does with me.

Regardless, even advancements in robotics are immensely useful, paving way to everything from improving the quality of life for those who've suffered accidents, are differently abled in various ways, or have other factors that otherwise make their lives more challenging.

As for robot transplants or even living transplants, unless you can connect back all of the nerve endings that map roughly to what the host body needs, it's likely that it'd be like being fully paralyzed. In that regard, cryonics would be a better bet, to preserve the human being until the medicine has advanced to the point where any ailments and such can be addressed. Of course, seeing how new and still fledgling (and niche) the industry is, it's unlikely that many if any of the people will ever actually be successfully revived, much like we can't unscramble the brains of mummies in tombs.

But hey, if nothing else, it's an interesting pursuit and the trans-humanism movement is always curious to behold. Who doesn't enjoy racking their brains, imagining engineering solutions to problems that no one would have even considered a century ago?
Thanks for the background. I find it fascinating that the small-data scenarios in analytics are still kind of chaotic when it comes to tooling. Full-fledged SQL queries on relations seems heavy but closer to raw data. The timevector custom data type is like a middle ground. Each timevector is essentially a pre-aggregated time series (maybe compressed also) so approach likely adds performance benefit when the task is to analyze many many small time series. Although I still feel supporting 70+ new functions adds a lot of maintenance burden, and people cannot debug/extend this set of functions because they are not SQL. I am wondering if you often find that users just want an out-of-box solutions or they need to have the ability to tweak or adding their own domain-specific logic.

Uber, Netflix and Epic may not need the channel. But Apple/Google are betting that for the long tail of developers, the benefits of the App stores outweigh the costs.

Personally, I am far more likely to try out a subscription if I can do it through the app store, as I don't have to hand over my credit card details, and I know I'll be able to easily cancel.
In some countries with absurdly high house prices, I think some level of nationalisation of housing is an eventual inevitability. Much like Seoul, places like Sydney are so expensive that unless you already own a house, or are eventually going to inherit one, no amount of hard work or education can reliably get you into the market.

Entry level prices within 25 miles of the city are around A$1.5m for a detached house, and apartments are predominantly 1 or 2 bedrooms and poorly built, so not really suitable for families. Many people suggest ‘moving west’ to the new suburbs being built, but even 30-40 miles out the prices are still around a million dollars. Given an average full time wage in the range of $50k, saving a deposit after rent is almost impossible. Not totally impossible, but very close to…
But in the current situation the buyer will be a criminal whether the sex worker is there voluntary or as a victim of trafficking, or even underage. So it's very unlikely a buyer would ever report to the police if they suspect that the sex worker is there involuntary or is abused by her pimp.

The law is supposedly there to protect the sex workers, but you don't do that by forcing into hiding and making it unlikely that any crimes against them will be reported by anyone else.

If they really cared about the sex workers they would instead make it easy for them to get anonymous support with health, in particular mental health, and drug abuse problems. And institute a hotline for sex buyers to call without risk getting into any legal troubles if they suspect that a sex worker needs any help for whatever reason.
I agree this would be a bad turn. In the US, it is frustrating to see the poor results produced by the public education system and teacher unions, particularly for K-12 education. The lack of competition and union power has led to an empty incentive structure, where teacher unions regularly oppose having their outcomes measured and don't fear needing to compete with better teachers or schools. Beyond that, organizations like the NEA (the largest teacher union and also largest union in the US) are increasingly political and inject their (far left) activism into the schooling system as a means to indoctrinate the next generation. Choice is critical in things like education, and being forced to pay taxes to prop up a one-size-fits-all government-mandated choice is unethical because it is plainly bad for students and society.
> Is this actually a problem that anyone has -- sending workloads to untrusted servers?

Yes, certainly, that's the whole point of HSM's (host security modules). They have been used since forever for encapsulating crypto secrets. The mapping between the number on the front of your credit card and the 3-digit CVV2 code on the back is done inside an HSM. They are cool devices to have inside servers. Having them in client computers makes them more likely to be used for evil (preventing people from controlling their own computers) as others have remarked here, unfortunately.
I don't see how that is better. Every one of your "state = N" assignment is just a goto in disguise, which requires the machinery to go back to the top and then jump somewhere again.

Someone looking at "state = 1" has to understand that state is a variable which controls the outer switch, and that 1 is refers to "case 1:" of that outer switch.

You have a proliferation of "case 1:" repetitions, so the reader has to follow the indentation carefully.

The goto is not a simple goto, either. When we assign "state = 1" it doesn't just mean to branch to the "case 1" node, but to go through the "key = getkey()" initialization.

The whole thing is less efficient than goto.

Specifically to C, you have more lines of code now. You remembered your break statements in the outer switch, but in the inner switches, you carelessly changed the gotos to assignments without adding the required break statements, so you have a bug in every inner switch. When you fix those, you will have some seven more lines of code.

Note how my original code has no variables at all, and neither does the transliteration into tail calls. You have two variables: key and state, plus you still have the same underlying goto graph structure.

The only saving grace of this arrangement is that it factors out the common action of calling getkey() into one place which is only important if we can't turn that common action into a tiny function call with just two or three arguments.

The property in my graph that getkey() is called in multiple places is a key property; it helps to farm off each block directly into a corresponding tail calling function in the mechanical transformation to the tail call graph.

I used to write all state machines this way, with labeled states, and a loop around a switch and input processing in one place at the top.

Quite recently, I did some ad hoc comaparative studies which convinced me I won't be doing that any more; I will be using disciplined goto graphs.
Actually, there are no false claims. I have sourced my claims using sources that you previously quoted to me as being true, and I also asked you to clarify your claims with several questions that you didn't answer. I can provide more sources if you'd like that, or I can provide some more analogies if that helps explain it more. Just let me know if you change your mind, but I agree we will not have a productive discussion if either one of us is not agreeing to answer questions or be open to considering new sources and changing our minds. I personally would be open to all of that, so feel free to ask me any questions or share new sources if that will help you make it productive. But it may be more productive to just stop being hung up on that definition, you can check the paper you sourced for more details.
I'm not aware of anywhere that attempts to socialise housing has worked well. As a teacher and someone who has been a student I'm also extremely hesitant to say that the way education is usually provided [1] counts as working well, whether you're looking at purely economic returns on investment or human flourishing.

[1] Not a knock on government provision in this case as demand for education with any real freedom seems to be extremely limited
Sounds like some banks I’ve heard of.
Not the person who asked, but I'm interested in the first two.
Right. SCRAM is only secure if you already have a secure channel - eg if you’ve already done a TLS handshake with certificate auth. A PAKE is secure on its own. However, IMO most people saying they need a PAKE could use SCRAM instead and actually have a chance of understanding what they have deployed.
But it doesn't. The fish is rotten and the chips are cold and mushy. And the staff is abusive and rude, and you risk getting a beer bottle broken over your head any minute. The only reason why they come there is you. And that noisy pub makes billions of dollars - because people keep coming to it for no reason other than "my friends are there" - not noticing that their friends are there only because they wanted to find you, and if you found a better place, they'd follow you gladly. As Substack, for example, proved nicely.
I wonder if Squid Game has had an impact. Gi-Hun had a flashback to an auto factory strike that was pretty traumatic that led him down the path to sign his life away to the game.

And places like Sydney are expensive in no small part because of issues like negative gearing and zoning controls, all in direct control of the government. Also the government is under no incentive to change the status quo because like any good mafia they take their cut of every transaction with stamp duty "oh you two want to trade, where's mine?".

In Vienna about 25% of the total housing stock is public housing[1]. It's the main reason why rental prices are significantly below other European capitals[2].

I used Cydia many a year ago (in 2009) when I had the iPhone 3GS. If I recall correctly, the root I had to apply to be able to get it installed also allowed me to get your backgrounder plus sbsettings mods - thus getting real multitasking working!

It made my experience of owning my first (and last) iPhone so much better - thanks very much for that, always a fan. Iirc, I was also able to buy one or two apps there, but my memory may be hazy.

I hope you're successful with your Apple lawsuit.
Maybe all these snowpiercer, squid games, parasite narratives are having an effect? Its like all these dystopic, zombie, monster, battle royale movies and shows are just expressing the never ending exploitaion and helplessness around people.
Obviously, increasing hospital capacity is not a short term solution to Covid. It will, however, mitigate the next pandemic and help in bad flu seasons.

If the reason for lockdowns was "flattening the curve" to not swamp hospitals, then we could have avoided lockdowns if hospitals had been able to absorb the increase in patients.

"On July 5 1948 the National Health Service took control of 480,000 hospital beds in England and Wales. An estimated 125,000 nurses and 5,000 consultants were available to care for hospital patients."

"By 1952 the situation improved, figures show there were 245,000 whole time equivalent nurses."

And yet Tokyo does not have this problem despite growing 50% in population over the last two decades. If you make building housing illegal prices rise. Demand and supply are going to meet somewhere and if you restrict supply prices will rise. If you restrict it more they'll rise more or faster. Compare San Francisco, Seattle and Houston in a US context. The more you restrict supply the more prices rise.
Again, I think that depends on where you are in the exploration/confirmation spectrum. I don't really think about it when doing it, but usually I use open ended questions for stuff I don't know, and yes/no questions to link things to my existing mental model.

That also depends on the person. With some people open ended questions are great, with others yes/no are better.

I'll also add that yes/no questions are often faster if you get the response you expect.
Did you use Roslynator and Codemaid extensions? both are free and lighter than Resharper.

Almost always when somebody shits on Visual Studio s/he either uses C++

(and there's significant difference apparently between C++ and C#)
or used it with Resharper, or without any extension/addon at all.

Just try Roslynator if you haven't used it yet.
Sadly I agree they seem to have rotted.

I believe there will be more options but not sure where from…

I haven't brought one myself, but wouldn't an Apple Tv solve the consistent and complete user experience? Plus they are big enough that Google can't bully them like they can Roku.

The masks and air filters make me wonder if my refusal to patronize restaurants that require paying via their website and signing up for an account with email and phone number, both verified by codes. It puts my friends out who just wanted to eat but I'm not eating if they require an account (which always says "we will use your info for marketing").

Maybe it's not the same thing, masks and air filters have more obvious benefits than avoiding accounts at restaurants.

You’re not wrong, but I would hope that by the time we work ourselves into a situation where there is no unskilled labour within commuting distance of where the work is, the government might finally realise that lack of workers is bad for business, which seems to be the main concern. I’m still wondering if we will reach a point where normal people don’t have any disposable money to spend in shops because it’s all going to landlords and utilities/basics, and if at that point they might go ‘oh wait that’s bad’
(Just to be clear, I did mean "look at countries... where the restrictions continue" not "look at countries..., where the restrictions continue")

Well, Denmark's Health Minister did add that the Government “will not hesitate to act quickly” if the situation becomes worse once again", and then got on Twitter and brought up new variants, so the lifting came with a thinly veiled threat. So it wasn't all peachy.

And you haven't removed all other restrictions.

There are still travel restrictions (some lifted 25th Oct, but only OECD countries etc [0]), masks in airports and hospitals, strongly suggesting children be tested if in close contact with an infected child etc.

Do you also have to quarantine if identified a close contact? [1] seems to suggest so. That's a pretty big one. Denmark seems to be following a similar plan to the UK. Make lots of noise about lifting some restrictions, but leave the law that can place you under effective house arrest.

Seems very ambitious for such a modest union, 1/36 of the working age population is a bit small if you're going to demand nationalisation. I guess this is one of these framing devices to make their real objective seem more palatable?

Finally somebody wrote a post about something that I was cursing under my breath about for years now. How comes an otherwise sane, intelligent, eloquent person, usually with supreme technical skills in one or many fields of knowledge, sometimes very relevant technical knowledge, doesn't find any better way to write a long, detailed, very deep treatise of some topic - than using a service which forces you into tiny squawks of text and explicitly isn't means for publishing long, detailed, deep explorations of anything? To me, it's an analogue of giving your friend $500 for their birthday - in pennies. From one side, it's awesome to get $500, from another - really, did you have to make it this annoying?

Yes, I know thread unrollers exist - I used them many times. Still this is a very annoying habit.
Your [1] does not imply your [2]. If 200,000 refugees show up in Vienna tomorrow and are allowed to work and be economically productive they'll look for and find housing, bidding up prices. Housing supply does not automatically increase with demand. If the private sector provides 100,000 new dwelling places it'll have a very similar effect to the public sector doing so. Who owns the provider has limited economic effect.
Frankly this is none of your business. Their country, their choice.
Ruby Together and Ruby Central, coming together
I completely agree, but Tokyo also has sensible tax policies to encourage providing housing, and a government that aims for zero unemployment. I really like their model of ensuring jobs are available so people have money to consume private sector housing, and that there is always such housing available because there is always someone to consume it. There’s about 50 seperate policies places like Sydney and Seoul would need to change to head down that path, but the interests of those in power are largely in keeping prices high it seems…
