Today: Most of it gets thrown away and wasted.

Tomorrow(ish): We recycle more of it.

But your question in many ways is less practical. Statistically cars have lifespans that we can chart out rather well. We can see that we have X tons of old batteries today, and on some tomorrow we'll have X+Y tons of old batteries. Which is important. Industry tends to scale. Working with 100 tons of material may not be an economical in a batch process. But when you have a million tons of the same materials you build an entire facility around said process and the small efficiencies add up at every step.

Yeah I just read a couple other articles and you're right. I was about to delete my post actually, when I saw you responded to it.

It does seem like most places don't currently have the infrastructure in place to do proper green hydrogen though, since only 0.1 percent of hydrogen produced as of Jan 2021 could be considered green hydrogen.[1]

So I don't think it's quite as 'easy peasy' as you're suggesting, probably a lot of money has to be invested and infrastructure has to be built to support it, but sure, I'm all for doing that.

> Nuclear has the huge problem of not being available for another decade (because that's how long it takes to build plants).

At the very least we can stop shutting down the plants we currently have.

There is a finite amount of infrastructure that can be built at any one time: instead of shutting down nukes and building renewables to take their place, we should be shutting down fossil fuel plants and having renewable take over them.

Once all the fossil fuel plants are gone we can talk about nuclear at that point.

Originally their interface could only be controlled by a knob, so the knob is a 1st class citizen in navigation.

The touchscreen is there, but you never need to use it to navigate.

My 124 Spider uses a Mazda infotainment system, and that takes it a step further by only enabling the touchscreen at a standstill. Once the car is in motion only the knob works
>Just one example to counter your "arguments" is the there are currently 50 nuclear reactors Being under construction world wide. With nuclear energy capacity increasing [1].

nuclear capacity increasing doesn't necessarily contradict the parent's claim that "nuclear is dead/dying". Nuclear power can be growing in absolute terms, but be falling in relative terms.
>Complex code with many dependencies (top right). This code is very expensive to write with unit tests, but too risky to write without. Usually you can sidestep this dilemma by decomposing the code into two parts: the complex logic (algorithm) and the bit that interacts with many dependencies (coordinator).

I tend to find that higher level integration or end to end tests are a better approach at dealing with this type of code.

Whilst in theory it is better to separate the coordinator from the algorithm, in practice when somebody throws a huge muddy code base at you it's better not to start tearing up the insides until you've got something that gives you confidence that you haven't broken anything when you refactor.

Unit tests present something of a chicken/egg problem in this regard. In such cases you need to refactor heavily to be able to use them. You will need refactoring safety to do this, however. They don't provide refactoring safety until you do it, though. Dilemma.

On the two projects where I followed the "high level tests first" approach I ultimately ended up not decomposing after that anyway since the integration tests ended up being sufficient and all but eliminated the pain of having un-decomposed code.

That is, I could have safely rewritten it so that it was "unit test friendly" but I started to wonder if tearing up the insides of a code base in order to accommodate the intransigence of unit tests was really such a great idea after all given the risk and extremely high cost and the fact that integration tests did the job they were supposed to just fine.

It's a controversial topic though. Not everybody agreed with me on this. Some people view unit tests as inherently "cleaner" (not sure why) and others are militant about a test taking 50ms being so much better than a test that takes 5 seconds that tearing up the insides was justified. In both cases, I suspect it was a case of principles overriding the underlying cost/benefit analysis.

For a person: yes.

For 330 million people: no.

To compare: the US occupation of Afghanistan cost about this much per year, but that budget has been freed up.

I live in Europe and I see the same lack of basic understanding of finance. People claim the EU costs a lot of money. And it does. But not per person. Not at all.

And any reporter that talks about macro economic numbers like this without normalizing it per capita is either an idiot or is intentionally manipulating.
My kid's school also used TT Rockstars in school before the pandemic. Seemed to work well for kids that age for giving them fast recall of memorized times tables. Beyond that, I didn't see any other effective gamified learning tools. Seems like it would be very much subject and age dependent.
It would be an absolutely negligible quantity compared to agricultural use.

There is nothing mysterious going on here, natural gas ramped down and is ramping up too late to meet the demand and as it is challenging to store it is very vulnerable to production/consumption mismatches.

The difference is that cars are mass-produced while airplanes are effectively bespoke.* And everything-on-the-touchscreen is cheaper to manufacture than physical knobs, so saving 25 cents per car matters. Airplanes are much more expensive than cars because they're all basically made by hand, so they can afford to spend more money on a better human interface.

I'm not suggesting touchscreens in cars are "a good thing", but I get the economics.

What happened to the comment about a learning platform called Primer? Was that removed for being too spammy?
So at this point, we have now seen legitimate questions raised about both the benefits and the risks involved with this stuff.

I can still totally understand anyone who decides the risk is worth it for themselves or their understanding of “the greater good”, but forcing this choice on others is becoming less and less tenable of a position.
Exactly the same thing.

The only difference is the battery cells might be stored instead of immediately recycled. (though, already there's a pretty hopping market for second hand battery packs from salvaged vehicles. Lots of people like to turn those into energy storage for homes/etc).

The simple practical answer is that storing batteries, right now, makes more sense than trying to immediately salvage them. Not because they are unsalvageable, but because future expected salvaging operations are expected to reuse more of the material.

Same experience. This is why I will no longer do take home tests that take more than 90 minutes or look like they'll take more than 90 minutes (even if the company misjudges it).

Even for pure STEM subjects, the further you go into esoterica, the less checking there can be on it. I remember one instance, mainly because it added an hour or two to a problem set in grad school.

(Apologies for any errors, as it's been the better part of a decade since then.) Wikipedia gave simplified formulas for the asymptomatic forms of the modified Bessel functions, and each formulas they gave were correct. However, each simplification used a different branch cut, so subtracting two of the asymptomatic forms wouldn't give the correct result. Tracing back that error, and why I was consistently off by a factor of 2*pi took a long time.

This study result was posted to HN several days ago from a different source.

There was an interesting and lengthy discussion in the comments and then the post was flagged. Many in the comments claimed it was misinformation with hand wavy guilt by association tactics.

It would be nice if this post could remain up to facilitate discussion. If the study is garbage, people in the comments will say so.
Thank you so much. This is the exact item I read years ago, and hadn’t been able to find again to give to people.
Agreed. Although I think the reason why most freelancers sell staff aug work as opposed to what you might call "strategic project work" is that it's about 100X easier (at least in my experience) to find staff aug work.
If wages are low, H-1B workers wages would still be on par with those of their peers. It is already illegal to set wages otherwise.

There is a minimum prevailing wage per level, set by the government agency in charge, and bonuses and other incentives too count towards median annual wages.

The H-1B program is flawed, yes, but not for the reasons most people think of. It is effectively used by many IT consultancy companies, especially Indian ones, to bring workers to the US, and essentially keep them captive through several methods.
if you collapse things to just synapses, you’ve lost of the complexity of dendritic arbors. The article doesn’t mention gap junctions but there are networks of those too with different properties.

It seems to me that mean field models, which could be deep networks internally, are a much more parsimonious computational approach.

These batteries are not being thrown away and wasted.

There's a pretty big second hand market for salvaged batteries. Except in the case of catastrophic failure, these batteries are either being stored for later recycling, or being sold outright for a second use unchanged.

They are not ending up in the junk yard. [1]

The general meaning of "server" as it relates to the world of gaming is; an instance of the application that more than one person can exist within at the same time.

It doesn't matter how temporally limited it is, it doesn't matter if it's on dedicated hardware or not, or how many "servers" are sharing that hardware. It doesn't even have to be on a different machine.

We shouldn’t be growing so much poor quality subsidies. GMO corn, soybeans, and wheat are extremely poor quality, overproduced, bad for health and artificially abundant, so they destroy a lot of the crops, and sell it overseas to prevent the market from crashing due to supply as it naturally would. They did this with milk so farmers would make more money if they resold milk on the market. The results of subsidies is extremely detrimental to the environment.

Yes. I read the study when it was posted before, and I don't understand it well enough to know if it is flawed. I want to hear from some experts - we know you are here - the HN community is amazing.
Your analysis is insufficient.

Going forward, pretty much everyone is either going to get infected or get vaccinated. There's no 'risk' of exposure, it's pretty much inevitable. On average, people that get vaccinated will be exposed to much, much, much less spike protein than those that get infected. So if you are concerned about exposure to spike protein, vaccination is a good course of action...

To speak to this more broadly:

Internet disconnections are not uncommon in Ethiopia but it is far from the end of the world. Despite the alarmist nature of some of the press currently, I don't believe that Addis itself will be significantly impacted. There's just too much shared interest in keeping Addis functioning for anyone including the residents to let things devolve too far.

It may be uncomfortable at times (stock up on movies and shows before you get there to keep you occupied during internet hiccups), get a generator or live in a building with one, make sure you have enough airtime on your SIM card to call internationally if necessary, and remain low-key during the tougher moments should they crop up.

Also, stock up on supplies like water, fuel, snacks, etc. (supply chains in Addis have never been great to begin with), Build a small network of people you trust and can communicate with (domestic help, favorite cab drivers, etc.) Like in most places, don't be an jerk, treat people well (tip well also) and they'll reciprocate.

TLDR: Regardless of what happens, Addis will be fine. It might be uncomfortable at times but Addis tends to swing toward stability despite what's happening elsewhere. Even IF the city gets captured, those doing the capturing will need it too.

Source: been through situations like these in a number of places (including Addis)
the person I replied to said they looked at a picture and were reminded of cars "how could they possibly work"?
In your case it's only viable because you can use it domestically with very little processing (or processing done with free labor). I suspect doing it on an industrial scale will quickly see costs rise for transportation and processing. A sibling comment says that corn fertilization costs $120/acre. Even at double the cost, I doubt the whole pipeline of collection to industrial composting, can be anywhere competitive.
It's now mandated by law that new cars have back-up screens. That's a helpful safety feature, but I fear it's also teaching new drivers that one cannot back up a vehicle without a screen. If such drivers find themselves pulling a trailer, driving a rental truck that has no screen, or driving an ordinary car with a bike rack on the back that obscures the camera's view, they'll suddenly find themselves unable to reverse the vehicle. Don't get dependent on the screens; learn to use the mirrors and swivel your head.

As a public health analysis, there is still a tradeoff between exposure of the population directly to the full spike protein vs in a more constrained vaccine. Especially if, as most governments and economic policies have decided that they are more or less going to forego the bulk of systematic non-medical social measures to protect public health.

And as the paper itself suggests - an even more focused approach to vaccines could be used.
Yep, they only grew more bold when people capitulated to them. When people (the US, taiwan, philipines, etc) don't, they don't really have an ability to respond that doesn't hurt them.
