Bumping things to 25kWh vs 10 kWh and sure that can last the lifetime of the vehicle, but it also means replacing 1 EV with ~3 plug in hybrids vs 8 that the original poster mentioned. And you now have to manufacture and maintain 3 ICE powertrains which further cuts into the savings.

Plug in hybrids can be a great option for many drivers, but IMO they they essentially inherit the downsides of both EV’s and ICE. For example they have issues sitting unused for long periods. Need to replace belts and spark plugs etc. They risk both a battery fire and gasoline fire etc etc.
Interesting, maybe I'll try the Robot series and see how that goes, thanks!
You can pair a "traditional north American" type of air handler with the condenser. No need for one head per room if you have the ductwork. (1) I can't compare from experience on baseboard heating.

I'd say that with the hyper heat and appropriate wind baffles, you can remove the resistive aux heat in most of the lower 48. Consult your ASHRAE design conditions for specifics. (2)

I share your concerns however, about not having anything but electric heat. I think of the water pipes in Texas houses bursting as the electric grid failed and the temperature dropped to the kind of conditions seen in a fairly normal northeast winter.

After I received my PhD I worked at Bell Labs for a while and did several different things and now I am a Distinguished Research Fellow at a large telcom company and I have many patents and interesting inventions mostly around antenna technology.

I still love music, especially Jazz and find inspiration from it at times.

Thank you for asking.

Happy Holiday !
> The power sector's carbon emissions in New York State should decline in the future because the state passed a law in 2019 requiring all electricity to come from clean, carbon-free sources of energy like renewables and nuclear by 2040.

Delays got us to this month. Other delays got us to this week. Weather issues delayed it from earlier this week to Christmas. Once you are spooled up for launch, unwinding all of that just to avoid a holiday is not worth it.
So what are your plans for when your batteries go kaput in 15-20 years, or are you planning to sell before then?
Oh, that is wonderful to hear.

Please have a wonderful Holiday!
You don't clearly specify which types of problems you need help figuring out how to solve.

So my general advice to you is to minimize the activities you devote attention to. Focus on your classes/studies. Find study groups, or organize them yourself.

Avoid parties/partying. Avoid romantic relationships.

Make a sleep schedule and stick to it. Get fresh air. Engage in outdoor activities - walks, biking, pickup games. Do these things indoors if you can't do them outside.

I'm not sure what you mean by "mental health demons". If they're serious issues, you probably need professional and/or group help with them. Do whatever you need to do to keep them in check.

Good luck

Edit: Stay off social media: FB, Twitter, IG, TikTok, Twitch, etc. Youtube is okay if you restrict yourself to videos that assist your studies.

Avoid political and social issues. Keep your eye on the ball.
Forced air natural gas furnaces need electric power for ignition and the blower motor that moves hot air out of the combustion chamber.
There's at least a plausible interpretation of your earlier comment that the attempt was futile or without merits.

The OP makes clear that this was the only viable way of extracting information. 1 >>> 0.

Also, as a sufficiently early recording (anything before the mid-1940s), the medium would have been shellac or wax rather than vinyl. Shellac especially is immensely fragile and prone to shatter when handling.
Oh no, if you did it then it was not a rip off. As long as you learned from it then it was awesome!

Have a wonderful Holiday!
The cars, trucks and motorcycles with booming exhaust pipes are insufferable. I despise hearing them revving by. I feel like I'm crazy for how much it bothers me. But then I read a story about a man shooting a driver who was just revving up and down his street, so I'm not alone.

I spent a week in Helsinki, and was blown away by how quiet it was despite being far more dense than my city.
This was so cool! Definitely the kind of article worth re-reading! Thanks for sharing.
Those statistics are for New York State, not NYC.

See page 27 (PDF page 33) of [0].

Commercial natural gas usage in NYC is roughly 40% of non-power generation natural gas usage. The actual proportion varies greatly depending on time of year, presumably due to natural gas heating in residential properties in colder months.

The logic used in these "ideas" is so comically bad that you know an economist must have thought of them.
Burying power lines is a thing. I don't think it is cost effective to bury the big high voltage lines though.
Tie it to a combination of things, including sales and operating income growth, not just market cap (which can be artificially juiced by macro market circumstances floating the boat of mediocre companies).
I like this Douglas Mennelly guy! The story would have just been another crime mystery if not for his humorous presence.
Most high efficiency gas furnaces use an electric ignition system and cycle on/off based on thermostat input. It does seem like they should have a battery backup or a way to manually ignite it in an emergency, but most don’t as far as I know. However if they’re just on already and continuously running rather than cycling, then they don’t need electricity. These furnaces are also typically coupled with a fan (a blower) to force the air through ducting and take air back through a return vent. Those also tend to be electric.
To be clear, in Sassy Justice they had actors doing the voices and body movements, the only part that was deepfaked was the faces. That’s why the results were so good.
Correction. Internal combustion engines are loud.
"It looks like somebody just got hungry and took a bite out of it," says Haber. He has positioned the record on a turntable and fitted the broken piece back into place, like it's a jigsaw puzzle.

> The reward system is functioning in ADHD subjects in some circumstances, just not in others.

It's functioning differently, regardless of circumstances. It's not "In some circumstances."

> If that were not the case, ADHD subjects could never learn anything, and that clearly isn't the case.

Your reasoning is bad here.

> I'm just wondering what the limits are to learning

You keep using phrases like "limits to learning" that are question-begging and wrong.

> might there be processes they could learn which could alter the application of their disregulated reward system so as to facilitate self-drive in more circumstances?

I don't know what you're talking about.

What you suggested earlier is that ordinary people "learn" to have the emotional reactions to task accomplishments while ADD people do not "learn" to have these same emotional reactions.

That is incorrect: you did not learn to have any such emotional reactions. You are falsely attributing agency to yourself. This is something called Fundamental Attribution Error.
Absolutely. If we have to throw away the work of anyone with moral failings, then all human culture must be destroyed.

I wonder how much this modern tendency to want perfect people and flat history can be related to things like the popularity of comic book films. People seem to really be craving simple absolute black and white fables with cardboard villains fighting superheroes these days.
How about just don't use -f all the damn time?
Jeremy Daly, 'Off-by-none'
"For the other 99.99% of us building workloads in the cloud, a multi-hour outage may sting, and perhaps even result in significant revenue losses, but compared to the cost of implementing and maintaining solutions to mitigate these outages (that only happen every few years), it’s a drop in the bucket. I’ve got more important things to focus on."

This is an interesting perspective. All of our servers were up and running, our applications were accessible and running. We manage our DNS through an external provider. However, by design, our applications integrate tightly with multiple AWS services for various architectural components. The features that depend on those services were faililng intermitently throughout the event window.

As a remediation, we could replace all of those services with various platforms hosted on servers or provided by SaaS - therefore eliminating the dependency on AWS. Our cost model, support model, and speed of delivery would change significantly. This would obviate our reasons for adopting cloud based architecture in the first place.

Instead our approach is to examine how we have also tightly coupled our integration to us-east-1. And look for 'High Availability' design patterns that will loosely couple to a region with the ability to fail over to warn/hot region when needed.

Let me know how you are defining your response. I would like to consider additional points of view as we work through this problem.
In Theorem 1.1, f is a function of random variables, which might be where you're confused.

> doesn't that mean y is a predictable function of x

Sort of: as function of real numbers, sha256 is just some deterministic function.
But point is its output "looks like" a uniform random variable for any reasonable input distribution i.e. as a function of random variables the input and output variables should have 0 correlation
The provided definition is a general high level abstraction/view.

"scripting"/"scriptable" short answer: way to modify/direct things at the software level without knowing all the underlying details; no need to translate "script" into different code (aka binary/bytecode). aka software provided way to "customize"

the "google searchable" other name? developement/runtime environment; Levels of abstractions (aka one level provides the constructs another level just uses the constructs provided per commands/instructions)
aka os; user using os; stand alone application (command line display date/time); integrated application (database vs. os)

all have environment variables, initializations, termination clean-up, and "acutal work" stuff that need to be done to setup the defined constructs that a given abstraction layer expects/requires.

The difference is what by default does the associated actions/where &
how the information is provided.

(command line interpreted shell vs. OO as a take on transactional glue/framework provided by a command line interpeted shell)

Defining an Itegrated development environment helps with this.

Environment/intended usage would help to define "scripting" areas:

* historically, automation ("job control")

* stringing series of small programs together to conserve resources aka memory

* rapid prototyping

* portability

some "scripting" areas:

a) command line vs. gui;

although vm stuff such as java & eclipse kinda blur the "xwindows widgets callable from shell script

b) presentaton (web-glue for multiple sources, printer aka postscript / pdf / etc)

c) OS level vs. application

at os level the "linker" is the shell.

at os level that user used, "command line shell"
(automatethe setup of a vm instance when a user logs in)

at os application level, a database has "report/form scripts"

d) (glue between different domaines)

Script that pulls in names/addresses from database to fill in a

word processor form to print out each name/address on an envelope
No. If you have a good hash function, that means it's computationally infeasible to determine anything about x based only on y. It's not statistically impossible at all; "statistically" doesn't concern itself with computational difficulties.

This is similar to how, e.g., we generally assume that AES is unbreakable from a computational point of view, but if you want a statistically unbreakable cipher, your only (IINM) option is a one-time pad.
This is great. Thank you for sharing. I'd never heard of this!
There are two types of diagnoses: the kind where your psychologist tells you you have it and puts it on your chart, and the kind where you take the national test (at least in the US), which has a year-long wait list.

I think what most people mean when they say it's not worth getting diagnosed as an adult is the second type, because the only thing it really does is force schools to provide adequate care for students.

I recommend seeking the first type though; I was diagnosed at 30 and it was worth it just to know. I only slightly suspected it though, and the diagnosis is what put me on the path to finding the communities, research, etc., which is ultimately what I got out of it -- so YMMV.

EDIT: Oh and meds! There aren't autism meds, but autism is often linked with anxiety or ADHD, and those can be helped with meds. Diagnosis is a first step to that.

This is actually one of the problems in neurodiversity discourse, too: neurotypical doesn't actually qualify as a neurotype, and probably no one is neurotypical.
I’m the complete opposite; I’ve yet to encounter a problem I couldn’t Google or bug someone in IRC about (and that’s the key).

Sometimes you have to engage with someone else to solve a problem, but there are hundreds of people willing to do just that at literally any given time of day.
Maybe I'm naive, but I really haven't seen a reason to jump off my core i7 6600 lenovo laptop or 4770k desktop, neither of which spin fans or kill batteries. I can run xilinx vivado, kicad, and gcc just as fine as a newer 18 core i9 I have for work. Having used a mac air with an intel chip which is incredibly slow in comparison I have to wonder if the issue isn't mac os x itself rather than the hardware involved.
The original comment is comparing to radiator heat not forced air.

> The batteries are LiFePo, so fire risk is very very low. The cars in my garages with gasoline represent a much greater risk.

Is this really true, and do you have a source on this? Gas vehicles are extensively tested to ensure the integrity and safety of their gas tanks, even in extreme crashes, so I feel like the danger is actually very low.

I’m also curious what batteries you specifically used and how they are doing in terms of holding capacity after hundreds of cycles. Also, do you live in a cold location?
Yes, I remember dang making a similar remark (can't find the link atm though)
Instant economic armageddon was just a rare possibility, but the impact on the economy is going to be felt over the next 2 decades, and it will be, in the Remainers' point of view, armageddon-sized but diluted over many years.
i have never used any of these devices, so what's confusing me here is that is there no option to have the device repeat your command in it's own words to make sure it was correctly understood?

i would be scared to use such a device to control appliances or make orders without doble checking that it is actually going to do what i want. even for something seemingly harmless as playing a movie if a misunderstanding could play something inappropriate for the kids.
I read the previous version of this book and found it very good.

Highly recommended.
Yeah. Some places do take it seriously; this video provides some nice context: https://youtu.be/CTV-wwszGw8

...my city is unfortunately not one of them.
Art was kind of redundant in that sentence. I meant that staircases are not aesthetically integrated with the building. They're accessible and meant for daily use, but are bare-bones with exposed piping, minimal heating, poor acoustics and heavy, loud fire doors.
See also the “One Square Inch of Silence” project, which identified and placed a marker signifying what it calls “very possibly the quietest place in the United States”:

https://onesquareinch.org/

There are even audio recordings on the website which indicate the area is actually far from “silent”, but perhaps as close as possible to being absent if any sounds of human civilization.
I think the mistake is often made by comparing primitives. E.g. running my own RAID vs S3. Colo traffic vs AWS traffic.

But what about comparing the whole ecosystem?

Can you provide a self hosted granular access permission to your RAID? How hard is it to configure and maintain?

Will your colo deflect a DDOS attack?

When you run your own services, you have to reinvent so much it doesn’t seem to be worth it.

For what it’s worth, much of Manhattan is heated by means of centralized steam, which tends to be more energy efficient than all of the different heating systems you mention:

In much of Manhattan natural gas is only used for cooking.
Please stop with the namecalling. Last warning.

> Ho Chi Minh admired the US

Which is a matter of public record.

> his government exacted brutal land reforms even the hardliners had to call out as “going too far”.

This has nothing to do with anything. Please try not to sidetrack the conversation: the Viet Minh and its successors were fighting a struggle of independence, the US could have been their ally but instead chose to turn against them and trash their country, while propping up a dictator so bad they later gave the greenlight for its removal (and whooopsie, his "accidental" assassination). Not to speak of the appalling Phoenix Program assassination campaign whose subtle tactics included, by the admission of its practitioners, listening to tips about alleged VC, knocking on the door, then wasting whoever answered it.

Doesn't seem so freedom loving to me!

> Your claim that Ho Chi Minh’s “disappointment from lack of US support” is the reason why Vietnamese still don’t have those rights rings pretty hollow.

Who knows what would have happened had the US supported Vietnam's anti colonial struggles instead of siding with their oppressors. It couldn't have been worse than the unmitigated disaster the US conducted.

Off topic meta point: The narrative "X wouldn't work here because of [size/population]" where X is unrelated or even helps the argument seems to be reproduced almost exclusively by (often highly informed) Americans, from personal anecdotal experience. Does anyone have a theory about the origins of this thought pattern?
Unfortunately no source code. I've thought about how this might be implemented. The video says there are 3000 items; the IBM 1401 only has 4000 characters of memory (unless it has the 12,000 character expansion memory box, which I didn't see in the video). So most of the data must be on magnetic tape. At 15000 characters per second, ten seconds of processing would permit 50 characters per item, which seems reasonable.

So my theory is that the program runs through the 3000 records on tape and matches (ranks) them against the customer's input. It could keep track of the current top 10 matches as it goes through. Then it can print them out at the end. (I'd expect some pseudo-randomness so customers don't get the same results.)

Of course, they could do something simple, such as having a small number of pre-computed lists and just print one based on the customer's input.
I assume it's from their machines to some machine controlled by OP. Probably not a home router.
It's been a long time since I watched that video, but I believe he makes the point that actually even electric cars are quite loud at speed. The noise from the tires is substantial.
So in the case of Textual, it’s a convenience for the user to download from the App Store than to clone and compile and get through code signing. If I’m broke, have a MacBook, and know how to build and modify a project, I can get textual for free, which is a nice option to have. On platforms with app stores I can see this being viable for developers.

I am aware of VLC being removed from the iOS App Store years ago because the license agreement for the App Store said that developers had to have sole control over the source code. I’m wondering if this requirement was removed, which would allow Textual to exist on the platform with its licensing.

I can see licensing an open source project, for profit, as BSD being riskier than GPL because I could take their project, add my own additions, publish the product on the App Store (under a different name and branding) and never release the source code. At least with GPL, I would be required to share my modified versions of the source code with users of the product, which could be reintegrated into Textual.
There’s like 100 people in whole of NZ who can’t take the vaccine due to medical reasons.

In similar ways, I can definitely relate. I deliberately studied and practiced sarcasm and storytelling for several years before I got comfortable with it and it landed half-decently. And I still get locked up around certain kinds of people.

Therapy is definitely a good consideration. As is general research to help understand what it might mean in general. If you're able to in your area, definitely try and find a therapist who understands autism. Otherwise, from experience, it can be a real impediment.

It's a lot to handle and I hope you're doing well with it. Feel free to ask any questions you might have. I'd be glad to help however I can.
I’m guessing what you basically want is two switches:

- simulate tone and timbre

- simulate cadence and mannerisms.

Now I wonder if AI can do this or if this is a perfect example of where AI falls short?
I guess a much better summation of this idea is the stereotypical mid-life crisis.

There are actually two industry terms for that.

That’s a beautiful story. Thanks for sharing. I wish you and your partner a lovely Christmas and the best of luck for your future together.
