Sounds big but California built over 2GW/8GW-h of battery capacity last year, so I think we're on pace. Nothing fancy, just a lot of batteries in cabinets.
"The CAISO is one of the largest ISOs in the world, delivering 300 million megawatt-hours of electricity each year and managing about 80% of California's electric flow." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Independent_System_...

Right now, 3PM in California, the CAISO demand shows around 21GW of demand. http://www.caiso.com/TodaysOutlook/Pages/index.html

Note that CAISO's peak, ever, was 50GW. (PDF) http://www.caiso.com/Documents/CaliforniaISOPeakLoadHistory....

The "installed capacity" of 80GW I believe is the number if you add the theoretical max of all hydro, solar, wind, gas peaker plants, etc. But each source will never simultaneously be at max, so we never get close to this 80GW number. https://www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energy-almanac/califo....
I'm not sure that's true in general, nor even frequently. In fact, I'd say it's provably false in general.

The big issue is that you get MANY more curve-fitting parameters to play with if you use a piece-wise linear model vs. an exponential model. (You get to choose HOW MANY breaks to make, what the slope is for each section, and WHERE to make the breaks.)

So... Let's say you created some synthetic data using an underlying exponential plus a normally distributed random number. Obviously, the BEST predictive model is an exponential one. However, for any arbitrary number of observations, I guarantee you there's trivially at least one piece-wise linear model that will have less error than the exponential one. Consider the one that is simply a straight line between EVERY point. Obviously that has zero error compared to the exponential model. Yet, it has very little predictive power compared to the exponential model.

Now, that's not what was done here... but there's actually quite a few parameters in the form of where to make the breaks and how many to make. Doesn't seem like a fair comparison.

My controversial opinion is, that everything that cannot be bought for reasonable amount of money, also cannot be "pirated" (the act of copying should not be considered as illegal piracy).

The main reason why piracy is illegal is, that studios/producers/writers lose money, because people pirate instead of buy. If I cannot buy eg. Super Mario 64 from nintendo in my country, and if I copy the game (and emulate it or whatever), I never actually caused any monetary loss for Nintendo by doing that.
On the other hands, some founders are amazing. I'm currently working at a biotech startup started by a very successful serial founder. At this company, the founder hired people that he has worked with before, so my colleagues are top-notch. The founder respects everyone he hired (and vice versa). The short-term compensation is highly competitive and rather than options, all employees were able to purchase shares (and the cost was covered by a bonus). All of the employees are regularly briefed on the fund-raising prospects (SAFE notes, Series A). Of course, I had just resigned from a company that fit the OP's description all too well.

To be perfectly honest a lot of peoples perceptions about cities back then was highly rooted in race. It was a time when white people literally sold their homes and moved if a black person moved in on the street, or they even threw stones at black people they saw walking around who in their head they villified, or worse. Anytime someone has an anecdote where they have some adversion to the city, especially back then, I can't help but imagine a lot of that has to do with racial biases rather than lived experiences and actual perspective on how much crime is really happening.
Heh. Reminds me of how gamers manage to find exploits to cheese speed runs while developers react in dismay.
I would love to let my kids free range and as they got older I did but not my smaller kids. Even though statistically small compared to other risks a child faces I would be too concerned about a kidnapping or possible rape. When I was a kid we free ranged. Then one day a kid named Michael Dunahee, on May 12 1986, was kidnapped to never be seen again. We live on an island and no one felt safe. He was just a little boy. That changes everything. Parents stopped letting their kids go so far and everyone was worried. We still look for Michael to this day. Then in 1996 another little girl by the name of Jessica States went missing. She was later found murdered. It was too much for parents to accept and again kids were not left to roam the way they used to. Again I know the statistics are small but I think it is a very parent emotion to not want to let your kids wander too far. The world just has too many creeps and it’s not a risk a lot of parents could bear to live with.
The long con of startups is that founders want you to think you're an investor--in truth, you are, because you're investing time, which ought to be more valuable than the money of people who have scads of it--and work like you're an investor... but they're still going to treat you like an employee. It's the same dysfunctional bureaucracy of the corporate ladder, except in this iteration it's across companies, so you don't even see the true executives (VCs). There are more rungs, more pitfalls, and greater socioeconomic distances than there ever were before.

The innovation of Silicon Valley isn't anything to do with technology, and hasn't been since the 1990s. Rather, it's the disposable company. If the investors get sick of something existing, they can choose not to fund it in the next round, call their friends and tell everyone else not to fund it, and it dies, allowing them to build something new in its place. The advantages (to investors) of the disposable company are legion, but one if them is that it doesn't matter all that much if you pick a scumbag. Which is also why YC backs so many DVFs (domestic violence founders). If they're jerks who get stuff done, you can let them collect a few million before firing them and putting your buddies in executive positions; if they're jerks who don't get stuff done, then you scrap the company and fund some other DVF.
> people would pray for an outcome they knew had already occurred

From God's perspective, though, it doesn't matter if the prayer occurs before or after the event, (assuming God exists outside of time and knows everything that has happened and will ever happen).

That might seem to open the possibility that believers could pray for events to be retroactively changed from a known (to them) outcome to a different outcome (rewriting their memories in the process), but presumably the claim is that God's will is revealed through the outcomes themselves, and the believer should update their desires based on that revealed will.

Small thing but I hate how a lot of the modding community (and retro gaming) has turned to videos and youtube, I just don't have time to watch a 20 minute video on these things.

As far as I know, running UTM/QEMU is the only method so far to run an x86 VM on the M1 Mac.

It works reasonably well, but I wish it was easier to do things like device passthrough or adding additional networks. If you get into the Advanced mode, you can pass in QEMU command flags directly which is nice.
I have been using OSQP [1] quite a bit in a project where I needed to solve many quadratic programs (QPs). When I started with the project back in early 2017, OSQP was still in early stages. I ended up using both cvxopt and MOSEK; both were frustratingly slow.

After I picked up the project again a year later (around 2019ish), I stumbled across OSQP again. OSQP blew both cvxopt and MOSEK out of the water in terms of speed (up to 10 times faster) and quality of the solutions (not as sensitive to bad conditioning). Plus the C interface was quite easy to use and super easy (as far as numerics C code goes) to integrate into my larger project. I particularly liked that the C code has no external dependencies (more precisely: all external dependencies are vendored).

It's neither. The actual reason is lack of biking infrastructure.

Putting a "Share the Road" sign and/or painting some bicycle symbols on a narrow path right next to cars going 50 mph does not constitute infrastructure, nor does it make the road any safer for cyclists.

I think that's a logical trap - it implies that the contents of the bible are a direct transcription from a being with superior (or, in it's word, perfect) knowledge. If that's the case then mortal interpretation of the bible can understood to have been historically flawed until... well, until when? Can we understand it in a truthful manner now or are we still too imperfect beings to comprehend its actual truth? And, if we're failing to understand it properly are we doing so for good or ill - we know that some of the previous flawed interpretations were pretty awful. Declaring crusades and wars in the name of the Bible is an abhorrent interpretation to most modern christians - so how are we to know how correct our interpretations are?
Although by the numbers the roads in India are certainly much less safe than e.g. the US, it's not as unsafe as it looks for people who are used to it. Along with other countries with 'chaotic' roads, staying safe on the road in India comes more from drivers (and pedestrians) generally having very good situational awareness, rather than from strict adherance to a set of rules.

Every time one of these is written, it comes off as if the 90-day window is something startups came up with to try and screw employees.

A reminder that the 90-day window is a requirement by law in order for options to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, and receive favorable tax treatment for employees [1].

If you want to do 10-yr exercise, that's fine, but until the law is changed those will be NSOs and not receive that special tax treatment and will be taxed on exercise instead of on sale.

That only works if the demand curve (the price the market will bear at given levels of shortage) and the cost curve (the actual price to produce the energy) match up.

In fact they never do, especially in this market. Texas producers weren't spending 100x (or whatever) more to produce that electricity, that spike just reflected the amount that customers who "had to keep the lights on" were willing to bear. In fact total utility costs are basically flat. They didn't hire 100x more employees or work 100x more hours to get things running again. They didn't have to build 100x more substations, etc...

And that's why spot pricing is a disaster for consumers. It creates a perverse incentive for producers to reduce supply.

> and for the other two points you are referring to particular extensions of quicksort

Maybe for the third point, but once again, every implementation does this. For the first point, absolutely not. Just because in-place partitioning is often the only variant described, out-of-place partitioning is absolutely just quicksort, not an extension.

> Quite possibly you can extend quicksort similar to how timsort extended mergesort

Please see my top comment in this thread - I have done exactly that. Or rather, I have extended powersort (which is very similar to timsort) with quicksort.
Besides energy saving behaviour, the metabolic rate has been depressed due to the physicochemical effects of cold, typically a reduction of 2-3x per 10 degrees.

In terms of having enough energy, energy stores accrued during summer and autumn go a long way, but many fish are indeed a negative energy flux state over winter. In fact, over-winter starvation in the first year or three is a common ecological bottleneck, where even if fish are capable of reproducing and adults are fine and can survive the first year, the 0+ age class may not have had sufficient time to store enough energy before winter to survive until spring.

Copyright terms should be limited to 20 years. Open source or not, this project would be legal in that case.

Almost all scenarios do end up with “you don’t need crypto/blockchain for that”.

Edit to add: there are many examples of software solutions using tech when there are other tech solutions also viable. This doesn’t negate the possible use of another tech just because something else also does it. See NoSQL for instance.
I've sat at the bedside of my mother and grandmother, both seemingly unconscious (for different reasons) and mostly unresponsive until they passed.

My grandmother would cry (tears would flow) when some family members came by and spoke about her condition in front of her. My mother would jerk her hand away from my father's when he was too fidgety with her. It would appear that they were both experiencing some form of consciousness, just trapped and likely very scared. So I took care of the swatting away of others and spoke softly to them to let them know they weren't alone.

I wish they could have expressed their needs in that moment.
Didn't sound like blame to me. The reality we live in has too many cars, too fast cars, too large cars. The kid lives in that reality now and probably won't get a chance to be a kid in a different reality. Therefore, it would be a good idea to help them to learn to safely explore their world, with some independence, in the reality that they actually live in.
You should keep in mind that only one provider allowed end users to pay spot rate and ERCOT revoked their license to operate after the freeze where power rates went to $4000/MWh. The average Texan (excluding people in East Texas who are on the Eastern power grid, and people in Austin) buy their energy on a 12 month contract from an intermediary who THEN negotiates a flat rate or gambles on beating the sold contracts on spot.
To reply to anecdata with anecdata my experiences with suburbs have been a complete lack of sidewalks in favor of cars and neighbors not talking to each other except in the form of HOA violation notices. For the country, where I grew up, everyone did know everyone else, but that was only a benefit if you were friends with the town sheriff. Good luck taking a walk anywhere when the local hooligans would charge at you with their lifted pickups or roll coal right next to you, and the sheriff threateningly asking you if you are starting a problem when you try and file a complaint

The real answer, of course, is social class. Marx was right. Investors are the bourgeoisie, and you're a proletarian whose survival needs are an exploitable resource. They don't follow the rules you do. Investors are like Ancient Greek gods (or Ancient Greek something else) to founders, and you and I are shit to these people, and the moment you stop making excuses for their behavior and see it as it really is, it all makes sense.

What even Marx didn't foresee was the effectiveness with which managerial bureaucrats (who might have been considered upper proletarian in the 1800s) would take the system over for their own purposes and merge into--and, arguably, become--the real elite... the same thing that happened in certain failed socialist experiments.
True, although Matz has changed his mind in the past (type annotations come to mind). I wouldn't be surprised if people notice that YJIT contributions are far more common, Matz may reconsider this.
I'm not sure what Nintendo "thinks" but they've always been protective since the NES days, which arguably allowed them to pick the video game industry out of the funk that befell all the other 8-bit consoles. I'm not sure if there is any philosophy around why they do it vs. it just seems like a corporate culture to them to be controlling of their consoles and their IP. I think a while back, the switch removed a game from the nintendo store that had an interpreter in it, even this with sanctioned basic interpreters around there. They've always been control freaks to the point where it doesn't really even make much dollar sense for it.
