>If that all sounds too good to be true, it's worth reading what other battery experts have to say about these claims. For example:

I wouldn't say it 'sounds too good to be true' when a nobel laureate is the one publishing. The same guy who invented the battery everyone uses today. With work being confirmed by multiple countries and multiple universities.

Flipside, this guy has a bias as he's a direct commercial competitor.

and as a battery expert he's saying things like:

>This is, as best I can work out, how it goes:

So he's not a battery expert? He doesn't understand?

This isn't an accurate representation at all.
Is that an inner voice though? I get the impression that the inner voice described in the article is involuntary, whereas the thing you describe is simply you, thinking conciously.

Having read the article I find I have no idea whether I have an inner voice or not. I can't imagine an inner voice that I cannot shut down if I want to. And it certainly isn't some other persona; it's just me, 'speaking' without actually making the sounds.
Their offerings are great. The best server for the money that I’ve found, though, is Netcup.

I’m glad to see a Hetzner DC in the US, though. I hope they shake up our ridiculously overpriced cloud offerings this side of the Atlantic.
> By your logic British colonization of India will also not hold.

Ummm, I said colonizers hold themselves separate from the population they colonize. Britishers never found a home in India ergo, they were colonizers, the Mughals were not.

> as the others would not accept it

Say Indian polity were exactly the way it is today except India was a muslim majority country while Hindus were a 20% minority. Would a typical Hindu accept the assurances of a muslim majority and agree to a civil code which was geared towards appeasing the sentiments of the average muslim?

For every question you are asking, just flip the question on its head and ask yourself if you, as a hindu, would agree to the terms of that question?

I really want to know this - do you personally know just one Muslim man or a woman? Have you been to their house and eaten their food? Have you watched them try to land jobs and date and have kids and live a normal, ordinary life?

If you have done all these things and you still find them "foreign" to your concept of Indianess, I'm truly sorry for you.
> The good news is that there is a leadership vacuum that, if you play your cards right, you could fill. If you want.

Perhaps. I thought so once in exactly this situation, and it led to an incredible amount of frustration, and burnout. And others were hurt the same way. That leadership vacuum was very real, but nobody wanted it to be filled by anyone already in the company, it turned out.

Eventually we got a very competent new team lead from outside and he was accepted by everyone immediately. For one of the teams anyway; the other one is still a complete mess. I just make sure I'm on the right one.
Are you sure your text "US is only number 3" is not open to interpretation? Anyway I seen tons of similar bad arguments, that ignore the population , put China on number 1 and then say "let's do nothing until China cleans shit up and then until India cleans shit up and maybe after that we can find some other pretext not to do anything", same for plastics .

What each country could do is fix their local shit, as I said even if you have 1 coal plant, that smoke affects your local people and not someone on the other side of the world, fixing your local coal burning should still happen even if you are greenest of the green. Then if everyone would be logic and not blame the neighbors you get your clean air and less CO2.
I do envy you I think. I am always there except when daydreaming or in the zone (reading, mind wandering, etc.).

Then again what would I think what is "me" if I didn't have that constant 'observation of the world (outer and inner)' ?

Maybe I don't have inner dialogue but anxiety is eating my mind (anxiety as in: being aware of the world all the time, observing it all the time) and it gives an illusion of monologue/being ?

> Why do you want to "engineer your way to the fucking top" of a broken organization with a bunch of teams full of bad engineers managed by stuffed shirts who don't give a shit?

Because it’s easier than socially engineering your way up a competent organization and the paychecks are similar.
That doesn't address the overhead of defer though (point 2) which can be a problem if your locks are in a well travelled path.

One might argue that if you have a hot path that depends on mutexes then perhaps you need to restructure your code to avoid sharing data (and thus the need for a mutex). And that point would be valid, generally speaking. But there's always that one edge case where it is unavoidable (or even still the cleaner and faster code).
The compositor (mutter) provides support for global hotkeys.
> Who cares that getting it to run on half of the roads (NVIDIA) is still not a solved problem because they stripped out any abstraction

You mean under “they” the linux kernel devs? Because it has absolutely nothing to do with wayland. Nvidia cards’ proprietary drivers work with X because you are using a part-binary blob for X. Also, finally nvidia realized that they should goddamn support linux, so what all these resulted/will result in is better integration for people with nvidia cards.

No.

It's a powerful tool, Ansible, but let's not get carried way. There's a ton of complexity behind the scenes. If you over-do it you end up with a ream of ugly yaml and you're fighting with the tool as much as you are any real problems.
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll email you directly because the head movement thing sounds really interesting.

Short answer to your question… I don’t/I cheated. I was inspired by my friend who launch the successful Kickstarter “throw trucks with your mind”. His feedback for corm/focus algorithms and training was to group and average a few seconds of data.

So I run my FFT‘s every (doing this from memory, might be slightly off) 50 ms looking back about a half a second. Then run it through the calm, focus, and anxiety algorithms I wrote. Lastly I average over 5 seconds to reduce wild fluctuations/“death spirals” (users freak out mentally when they see calm: 80 -> 0 -> 50 -> 2) and spit that out to be user facing.

So it sort of smooths over blinks/head movement/etc.

At least, I think so. Will DM and thanks for the feedback!

(And I’d love to see the control fire thing - I did something similar where you can levitate, high jump, slow fall, etc. I just suck at/have never really done game design so it stalled out.)

Yeah. I think I'm so used to C by now that I just can't handle anything that doesn't look like C. It's like my brain just ignores text when it can't recognize the C code patterns.

Semantically Zig is really interesting though.
Two things which in addition makes me oppose calling bitcoin a ponzi:

The later would mean that pretty much anything going up in price is ponzi. Were beanie babies ponzi? Arguably they were cuddly so they offered some value...
I wish I would have been introduced to Geometric Algebra or calculus of forms or whatever it is called during my physics studies. We learned all the conventional things you need for classical mechanics and electromagnetism, like div and curl and BAC-CAB. But there were a couple of things that we were not tought well, which caused problems later. One thing is that at first, a vector was just an N-tuple. But in physics, something is only a vector or a tensor if it behaves under a very specific way during transformations. (The infamous "a tensor is an object that transforms like a tensor"...)

The other thing is that I hit a wall when trying to read theory papers, because nobody ever explained what a wedge operator or a two-form and so on is. I was able to mechanically follow calculations, but never got a real good intuition.

We learned math together with the mathematicians in a very axiomatic way. Without a geometric intuition, I had a hard time understanding why you need dual vectors like one-forms or covariant vectors. They seem just like a convoluted way to write the scalar product.
There is often room for personal initiative in such cases; do what you can, make sure to not try to do more than you can, and be happy with it.
> Xorg is an amazing piece of software

Based on what? Because I rather believe its maintainers..
> So here's the thing: X works extremely well for what it is, but what it is is deeply flawed. There's no shame in that, it's 33 years old and still relevant, I wish more software worked so well on that kind of timeframe. But using it to drive your display hardware and multiplex your input devices is choosing to make your life worse

This implies it's a choice made in isolation, rather than with the matrix of WM features and hardware support driving.

People aren't "choosing" Wayland or X in large numbers. They're making decisions like "I'm using distro A which ships Wayland by default" or "I want a tiling WM and have nvidia hardware, so I have to use X".

I've been diagnosed with MDD in the past. Though I wasn't formally diagnosed with anxiety, I did have symptoms of it. I think that's what's come to the forefront now, and what's probably the cause of this negative self-talk.

Thanks for the advice :)
Yes! And their support is amazing too. Doing business with Hetzner somehow always feels very different to e.g. Amazon, or the other tech giants.

I wonder if it may be related to the general business mentality (Germany vs USA), and not only the company size.

If they have a few months. Sitting on empty houses is not free.

Though the whole problem with Zillow seems to be that they disrupt the local markets, because due to their sheer volume they effectively corner each local market where they operate, which makes them able to set prices.

(But then why have they stopped? Probably they realized they'd need more money to do that effectively, or that they'd get a huge asswhoop eventually. Or that they were unable to hedge their risks.)

I’m watching The Expanse now for the first time and I love it. Some characters are 2-dimensional and have childish motivations sure.

But there was a scene in which Chrisjen Avasarala gives an “imminent war” speech extremely sarcastically, like Homer to Marge in the bedroom.

I figured they’d address in the episode what her secret plan was for that speech.

Turns out: no plan, the actress wasn’t being sarcastic. She was going for strength and gravitas.

It makes no sense to me how an otherwise high quality show has those scenes. Surely the director could have gotten a non-sarcastic take. And if not, they’d have to minimize the actress’s role.

As it is, every scene with her in it breaks the fourth wall and reminds me I’m watching actors acting in front of cameras, rather than a visual narrative.

I’ve been there. It sounds like you’re starting to blame yourself for their failings. You’re not sure if you’re a little crazy or they are. They’re gaslighting you. Get. Out. As. Soon. As. Possible.

If they’re using your valid concerns as issues on performance reviews, then the company values making low quality software, not their employees. Get out of the sausage factory and get into a place that values their employees and product. You’ll be much happier.

> Boys more at risk from Pfizer jab side-effect than Covid, suggests study

That study (which was still a pre-print, not reviewed) was retracted.

It didn’t make any sense for the authors to compare the risk of myocarditis (most of which is benign) after receiving the vaccine to the risk of hospitalization from a COVID infection. Comparing two different outcomes against each other is deliberately misleading.

COVID infection is also well-known to cause myocarditis at high rates, but the study conveniently ignored that.
> Have you memorized pi to nine significant places, or how did you even notice?

Not the OP - but, yes. My memory runs to 3.1415926535 and gets a little fuzzy after that, I think it's 2949 or something without looking... hrm, nope; 8979. Good thing I wasn't sure.

Definitely as much as any reasonable human scale thing and then some, but memorising a calculator screen full of Pi isn't that impressive. It used to be written above the stairwell in the maths dept at Uni, so I walked past it multiple times per week for years.

Have you tried emacs org mode?
From the top of my head I would do 2 features no other language (to wit) has:

- request reordering arguments to find a match for when you don't remember the right order. I think this is better than named parameters and other hacks.

- The very opposite of Python: non-printing characters are skipped and won't affect anything. This requires dedicating a character to the separation of tokens. I think comma could be used. I would also use parentheses for grouping tokens.

Edit: Forgot that HN wants empty line to respect '\n'.

i3/dwm (or any X window manager), unlike Sway (or any Wayland compositor) has nothing to do with client window contents rendering. X and Wayland works fundamentally differently in that respect. Under Wayland the compositor and wm is the same. Under X the server and wm are separate programs in separate processes, and the latter is not involved in rendering the client window contents, only the window chrome, if any.

As others have mentioned, there is saml2aws. I make use of this, with aws profiles and with saml2aws configured as a 'credentials provider' in aws. If I have already entered my username, password and MFA code once in a session, all my other profiles become active. I can use `aws --profile eks-dev` for instance to connect to that configured account/role.

This extends well to my kubeconfig which make use of these specified profiles to login. So I just run saml2aws, and my kubectl contexts also automatically get configured
> but it’s still me saying it.

It is of course always you, but putting concepts of me/ego/identity aside, you can treat your "you’re being an arsehole" as a certain kind of energy in your consciousness, which tends to make similar remarks and shows up when you're actually acting like an arsehole. The idea here is even bigger - you can talk _both_ to this 'arshole' energy/self (you behaving in a certain way) _and_ to this voice saying "you’re being an arsehole.", critising gently appearance of this 'arsehole' you.

> for some people these thoughts occur unbidden

It is a common experience. Even your examples (“that was dumb” or “you’re being an arsehole”) are not consciously, deliberately invited thoughts and indeed, in in many cases voices can become really strong and talk to you all the time.

When you look at your mind as comprised of different selves/states, which are a bit like independent people inside you operating within you, very interesting things happen.

When we focus on the fact that these parts are _talking_, we can refer to them as voices and _converse with them_, but generally these are your energy patterns, eg. your Lazy energy/part or Workoholic energy/part (or your Arsehole energy/part) shows up. Sometimes (very often) some of them are too strong and show up and stay uninvited.

Redesign the public machinery so that it rewards reporting on corruption and nepotism. Make it a career move to oust bad apples. He who reports his bosses corruption, gets his job.

> Everything is possible. But not everything is practical.

Which is why your question is so impractical. You're asking about kilotonnes of carbon on a project that will save megatonnes annually. If your question forces them to source batteries with a 10% smaller carbon footprint, you'll will likely have done net harm to the environment by delaying the project and forcing us to rely on dirty electrical sources for longer.

Your question is standard FUD technique. On the surface it appears to be a reasonable question. Because it is, at least in other contexts. But in the context of a green energy production plant, it's a distraction.

Yes, we need to make mines greener. So ask your question in the context of mines.

> Electric semis hauling freight? Not so much. The payload has to be reduced by a significant amount because the battery is so damn big.

More FUD. The batteries + motors weigh about one tonne more than the engines and diesel they displace. In response, Europe has increased weight limits for electric semis by 2 tonnes, and the US by 0.9 tons. Even if they didn't, a 1 tonne difference in a 35 tonne load is not especially significant.
My internal monologue is more like a board meeting

What I'm waiting on is for the Wall Street firms to decide that being a landlord isn't for them. Either because the margins aren't what were predicted, they don't want to be in the handyman business making repairs the tenants need, or because something else becomes trendy.

The aftermath when they decide to unwind their positions will be far-reaching. Probably not another 2008, but it'll certainly depress valuations across the country. Like you said, if you're buying now, buy because you need a nice place to live, not because you intend to flip.
