Search heated vests on Amazon, get the ones that run off of USB charging packs.

For feet, you can do the single use toe packs or get the toe plate warmer that runs off of a lithium ion pack. These are the best: https://www.thewarmingstore.com/therm-ic-c-pack-1700-bluetoo...

A product called boot glove works extremely well too. This is a neoprene (wetsuit material) cover that goes around the boot. I use this as well as the heated toe plate.

For hands, you want a warm mitt that will stop wind and give a lot of insulation. Then add the single use hot pack.

The hardest part is the face. You don't want any exposed skin, so a face mask is what is needed. Goggle fog becomes a problem so a snorkel that expels air away from your face works well if you get used to it. You also don't inhale powder snow which is hard to deal with when it's that deep. I still carry a spare pair of goggles just in case.

The trick is to not sweat too much. Regulating your heat with a warm hood and the heated vest that you can adjust helps.

Nobody really skis when it's this cold out except for a small amount of nut cases. So you get the mountain to yourself and run after run of untracked turns. It happens every three years or so where you get this big a storm along with the cold temps.

I use it extensively in a program I wrote out. I have it automatically trim out silence in front and end of clips and combine it with an algorithm to detect mistakes and take them out. Then it zooms in and out of clips and attaches pictures to create slideshows and adds transitions and cover pages etc based on a text file that gives instructions. Here’s the channel if you’re curious: https://m.youtube.com/c/rareliquid. All the transitions, photos, backgrounds, zooms, etc are automated.

Why does this read like a penance?
I have a crippling fear of specializing in a field. I fear that I'm "settling" for something and might miss out on something better. But as a nihilist, nothing is anymore better or meaningful than what I do. Hence I keep trying different things, never happy, never satisfied and never having an answer to "where do you see yourself in 5 yrs?".

Can anyone else relate? If so, have you solved this problem in your life?
"To further develop the idea of letting EVs go to people who will drive them the most"

We have a name for them - Bus Drivers!

Why is all the discussion is focused on personal cars, they sit idle 90% of the time. First vehicles to go electric should be bussed, light delivery vans, taxis and all other service vehicles that are in motion over 10 hours a day, 365 days a week.

Today 95% of all electric busses are in China, because our leadership thinks that since we don't have a planned economy, no planning of any kind is needed at all.
Haha! Oh wow, case and point - I am hopeless at anything that isn't the default

ADHD and autism also have significant comorbidity, though its possible only one or the other is initially diagnosed when they coöccur.
Also - isn't >90% of all Norway's electricity production hydro?

It would seem a lot more feasible to go all in on electric when you have that much hydro. Since that much of the production is hydro - I'm assuming it's relatively economical, and not just Norway paying a massive premium to be green.
I find those sorts of natural sounds to be way less annoying and offensive than machine-originated sounds, even at equal decibel levels. Perhaps it’s because of a learned/cultural associations, but I’d bet there’s something inherently annoying to most manmade sounds, probably due to the periodic nature of motors, fans, etc. I’d be interested in the above suggested diff map showing (approximately) machine-originated sound levels.
Shutting down a service should force the release of the specs required to reproduce it. Require services of certain classes/longevity to register said specs in escrow.

Fair point RE bureaucratization. Similar perverse incentives exist for pretty much any organization touching COVID right now. Vaccine manufacturers, PPE manufacturers, hazard/risk consultancies, cleanup crews, et cetera.

I'm not sure what will happen. I'm assuming that eventually COVID will become a relatively infectious but also relatively harmless virus (based on mostly conjecture from virologists online making some sort of evolutionary argument that I honestly have not appraised). We don't have seasonal flu inspectors, yet it can claim lives or at least weeks of someone's life at any time each year, and if we had sentries/surveillance to lower flu cases... well I could see that people a potentially popular option for these staff as well.

I do think that COVID will probably end up looking a lot like "9/11 for health" in the next couple decades. As long as large projects/businesses have the $ to spend on making themselves more resilient to the risk of infectious disease I could see these teams justifying their existence.

Ultimately, I think until the liability for the employer is eliminated or diminished we'll continue to see these teams do their work on set. I'm waiting for the first SCOTUS case RE COVID damages/compensation/liability. Maybe COVID waivers will be included in onboarding documents for new-hires in 2022? IDK! LOL

> But that bill is stalled and the Bolt isn't even available to buy new right now -- GM halted manufacturing until at least February due to a battery defect.

Not only that, a subsidy that large would dramatically increase short-term demand without meaningfully increasing short-term supply. So either they would raise the price or they'll be sold out before you can buy one, e.g. because they all went to the friends and associates of the dealers.
I guess not. But there's often a hill within day trip driving distance to a lot of cities in the north.
This is really cool.

It could use some smoothing of the AI artifacts (no idea how you’d do that though). It’s like they’re talking over a broken mic.

> I genuinely can't explain modern CRISPR research to a layperson

I think this really depends on what you mean by "explain". If you mean explain the precise mechanisms and systems involved in minute detail then sure, but that was never possible in a y subject. Arguably you wouldn't be able to explain with precision how modern CPUs work at the gate level and their manufacture, or how network congestion control works, or this topology to the same level of detail either.

Per Feynman, you should still be able to give pretty accessible abstract descriptions or analogies that are faithful enough, or arguably you don't understand the subject well enough yourself.
> There was plenty of support for Kim Ill-Sung in South Korea as well, but there was plenty of opposition too.

Please stop trying to sidetrack the conversation.

> The North was a brutal dictatorship propped up by China and the USSR.

No, it was a nationalist anti colonial government that aimed at the reunification and independence of Vietnam.

> Both had Vietnamese supporters. Again, to dismiss the South as not a real country is just twisting facts

It was an artificial creation imposed upon the Vietnamese by external parties; hence not a real country.

> The mythology the North has created around the war

Oh, there is a mythology alright! There's a whole myth created about this war, mostly by the foreign country that fought it -- to devastating effect to both Vietnam and the invaders who fought in it -- and who claims to be freedom loving and is still trying to heal from the wounds and the nonsense the war it inflicted caused upon thousands. This mythology is necessary in order to reconcile their aspirations to being a beacon of freedom and the fact they acted on the side of colonial oppressors.

> But neither does Vietnam when it comes to Cambodia or Laos, but hey, they hasn’t stopped them

But we are not talking about that, are we? If we were, we could condemn Vietnam's interference with other countries. Regrettably, this was about Vietnam's own struggle for independence and US interference with said independence.

When the US was fighting for its own independence, that's good. When they were stopping and interfering with another country's, that's bad. The same country can act good and bad at times. This was a case when the US was bad.
I enjoyed the movie, the idea of billionaires that cover their businesses around empty but positive words is remarkably close to our times. Also, incompetent administrations and politically correct media are well portrayed. The idea of a cataclysm like global warming denied by a lot of people in the USA makes me think to shout "just look outside".
Alt SysRq REISUB – the gentle Linux restart (2008)
Yes, very rich people are a problem. Not every society has the same proportions of them, however. USA before we relaxed our top tax rates didn't have so much of the political agenda determined by the same 500 people. Once billionaires have infested a society, however, they are very difficult to exterminate for the reason you cite.

my background is similar to yours. I still hate JavaScript somewhat. But I can tolerate it a bit more than I could 10 years ago. Possibly because of advancements in development environments and tools.
Not something I love to do for money. I like solving problems, and when I'm fresh somewhere I enjoy it, but once it becomes repetitive I hate my life. When I get the leeway to solve problems, even ones I'm not interested in, I excel. But again, once it stops being solving problems and starts being maintenance, I'm over it. So I have a hard time.

I don't think it's about the field, I think it's about what your role is. I like solving problems, but I can't have that role forever in a programming related environment, so I don't write code for money anymore.

I really like cooking and gardening, but if I were to get a job in a kitchen or picking apples or whatever, I'd hate it. For most people this isn't true, but for me, turning my hobbies into a job turns them into a chore and I start to hate them. I could make a casual business out of them, but I can't do them professionally.

Decide what role you like, and do any job where you can fulfill that role. Maybe you like pleasing people, maybe you like building things, maybe you like the tactile sensation of doing things with your hands. Don't pick a job, pick a role. If it's web dev or a gas station, doesn't matter. Don't let the siren of status and glamour have you broken washed up on the rocks. If the role makes you happy and keeps you clothed and fed that's all that matters.
I live in the ACT so its 100% renewable. We also recently put 6.5kw of solar on the roof so most of our daytime power is self generated. (I was against the rooftop solar but my partner insisted, it makes no sense economically or environmentally.)
My new gas tankless water heater requires electricity.
Yeah ... but I just don't understand, why rely on weak naming conventions when there is an explicit foreign key relationship that tells you the exact column and table? I shouldn't need to even write a join keyword at all, just

select f.bar_id->some_bar_table_column
from foo f

... if the foo table has a bar_id column with a foreign key constraint to bar's primary key.

If the foreign key constraint is defined and unique just use it and don't make me type out all the redundant join rubbish. You could then even do deep nesting with no more syntax:

select f.bar_id->baz_id->some_baz_table_column
from foo f
Two things:
1. The result is asymptotical, i.e. holds as number of samples approach infinity.

2. The result is an "almost surely" result, i.e. in the collection of all possible infinite samples, the set of samples for which it fails has 0 measure. In non technical terms this means that it works for typical random samples and may not work for handpicked counterexamples.

In our particular case let f=Sha256. Then X must be discrete, i.e. a natural number. Now the particulars depend on the distribution on X, but the general idea is that since we have discrete values, the probability that we get an infinite sample where the values tend to infinity is 0. So we get that in a typical sample theres going to be an infinitude of x ties and furthermore most x values arent too large (in a way you can make precise), so the tie factors l_i dominate since there just arent that many distinct values encountered total. And so we get that the coefficient tends to 1.
Amazing that this effort has legal funding. The stench of hypocracy when media companies, which publicly cry "societal collapse" at personal use IP violations, at the same time disregard basic licenses of others, exploiting volunteer labor for commercial purposes...
Is there a way to extend this to measure a multivariate relationship?

For example: Cor(X, Y & Z)

I know you could run them pairwise but it’s possible Cor(X, Y) and Cor(X, Z) are close to zero but Cor(X, Y & Z) is close to 1.

Do you think this problem is 4 times worse in China because of the population size.?
It's curious that you say 'historically unprecedented imperial past' - imperialism typically has to do with having a ruler, and exerting diplomatic or military force to influence other nations.

Why do you say this is historically unprecedented? China has been imperialist since its beginning, and continues its imperialism with Hong Kong, South china sea, Taiwan, Tibet, Xinjiang, Myanmar ...

What 'historically unprecedented imperial past' are you referring to that isn't preceded by China's?

We no longer need to deliver natural gas into cities to deliver power to a process, that was the original argument. Delivering it as a feedstock and or specific chemical heat source, sure.
I’m not quite sure what the analogy you’re considering is, but if we’re equating fusion power plants to transistor-based circuits, I think we’re currently proving different types of solid state diodes are possible to create in a lab.

In that particular case, definitely. More generally, it's risk.

Every time an archivist touches the media - no matter gloves, a clean environment, the care applied, etc - there's a risk of altering or even damaging it. In our case, the eventual goal was to keep the ever-deteriorating originals in nitrogen-filled vaults.

Therefore, if you can avoid having to touch it often (or ever), then you've managed to protect it better, probably longer, and more cheaply.
Yeah, especially at 11:30 at night as they loudly rev their bikes with a grin at. every. damned. stop. sign.

Really, do they have to? They can't just give it a little throttle to get it moving, they have to open it all the way unsettling the whole neighborhood with the exhaust noise when it's otherwise quiet and there are few cars?
General Fusion is trying a crazy approach of using liquid metal as both the containment vessel and the means to capture the heat. Magnetic containment isn't the only path to fusion being tried.
And again, that doesn't matter because that's for inrush current for starting the motors, and not a steady state draw.

It baffles me as well. It’s exceedingly obvious (to me) how significant an effect it has on wellbeing, yet it seems virtually ignored, particularly in the US. I’ve found that it’s somewhat better in the UK (London), but there’s still a ways to go.

It’s a classic example of a commons. It’s something that benefits everyone, yet is SO easy to wreck for everyone for miles in every direction. There’s a classic article “Silence is a Commons” that has been posted here before; it’s not so much focused on health/wellbeing but makes a similar point: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28431541

31 miles with a small/light/inexpensive battery and reasonably rapid charging would not be a joke, particularly if you also got some gas-only efficiency benefits. But the X5 has a relatively huge and heavy 24kWh battery pack - nearly 1/3 the size of a Model Y, a car that gets 10x the electric range. The result is a substantial cost increase over the gas-only X5, plus gas mileage that is actually worse. Moreover, the internal charger is so weak that you can’t add any substantial range by charging at your destination unless you occupy a charger all day long (the Model Y charges at up to 42 miles/hr on AC, the BMW will add maybe 4.)
This looks like it was previously known as Vocodes, made by echelon who is here on HN:

The code repos used are listed in their credits section, and it looks like a mixture of (customised?) Tacotron2, Glow-TTS, HifGan, and others. Videos are generated using Wav2Lip.

Text-To-Speech (TTS) has improved greatly over the past several years, but there's still a lot of metallic sounds in "pure" TTS implementations. I've started exploring voice style conversion, otherwise known as "voice cloning", and there are some interesting repos out there with decent results. These work differently from TTS, in that you don't type out the text to be spoken, but rather pass in an audio file of what you want the cloned speaker to say, and the system outputs an audio file with the same sounds (words, intonation) but with a different speaker identity.

This may be easier to get the right cadence and emotion in the generated audio, as text doesn't capture proper emotion and intonation. I suspect game character audio will use more of voice-style conversion instead of pure TTS simply to get the right emotional cadence of the lines being delivered.

Some interesting voice style conversion repos (in no order, just a random selection if anyone is interested in exploring):

I write comments to myself. Why that lambda got used, where I stole it from. They're for a stranger: future me.

I reread my code frequently stealing snippets from my past self. It helps if you code well, and can remember stuff but if not, comments are the next best thing. I don't code well, my memory is shot, I need all the help I can get these last forty years.

README.md is somewhat replacing this. Typically I embed backtick quoted execution sequences, shell pipes, how I invoke this instance of that lambda, with some sugar for argument parsing, input pre-processing.

Then if you upload to some git repo you get it all: code you can search, some freetext which may match search index terms you're hunting on from the comments, and a documented example of using it on real data.

I would learn "C". The language is small in terms of key words. It has all the tools you will need to whiteboard a solution. You can't be an expert in a month but you can get a handle on the basics relatively fast.

Stay with the basics and don't make the mistake of trying to learn everything. You can't and you won't in a month.

If you aren't given a specific language, I would pseudocode the solution. Once you get a handle on pseudocode writing you can use it for all your whiteboard tests.

I've been to China.

The series of high resolution pictures of me throughout the streets, hotels, places I was during my time there - these all appeared on the screens used by the guards as I was being scanned to leave the country.

So yes, I have been to China, I can place China on a map, and it is the most terrifying reincarnation of Nazi Germany - being defended by people who will say "we didn't know any better" after the concentration camps are freed.

I think up until recently I had a different mentality than what you're describing, where pay was second, but the type of work was more important. I always assumed that so long as I was satisfied with the projects, coworkers, and company/organization was something I could stand behind, pay and compensation would follow.

As I got older and more "adult" responsibilities started coming (mortgage, family planning), economic security became much more of a priority. More conventional things I learned about employee retention and organizational behavior started to make more sense where pay and time off were huge motivational factors. It's okay to be motivated by money.
