“ But this new cohort of recyclers doesn’t have to wait for electric vehicles to hit critical mass. They’ve got plenty to hone their techniques on with existing consumer electronics waste, plus the scrap from new battery manufacturing. ”

Sounds like they’re starting now because they need time to get things efficient enough for the day when EV recycling starts to be needed en mass?
In which country was this in do you know? I don't know if a price like that is even possible in the states lol
When you start digging into the colloquial definition of "sentience", it very quickly falls apart, except for the part that is ascribed to soul or some equivalent thereof (basically, something that is not physical). So there's a good reason to suspect that it's really the same thing, just in different philosophical and/or religious trappings.
Won't it be a good thing for 711 and walkable stores in the area? Convenience stores can come up with ideas for people to pass their time beyond shopping and coffee/food. Maybe game kiosks like you see in bars that allow people to stand and stretch their legs instead of sitting in a car? They don't take up that much space. Maybe even a couple of restaurant style tables for people to eat, drink or just hang out.
I think standard procedure for garbage trucks is to dump the load over a long area when this happens. There’s probably thermal detectors in the bin that let them know pretty quick that something is up.
I wonder what's actually making the noise. PWM on the transformer windings, or PWM on the motor windings themselves, or did they just use speakers? I have so many questions.
If this is targeted as an fair competition measure, it is not a good idea. If anyone does not like that his preferred bar is offering free EV charge, it is reasonably easy to talk to the owner(s) about it and eventually have a different preferred bar.

That is discretionary spending, you have a choice. If it is paid by your taxes, that is a different story.
For all the improvements pioneered by Marko, why is eBay still so slow (compared to equivalent ecommerce sites in Next.js and similar)?
Remove step one from the video. Sign up is assumed, and it’s boring, and I dont need to be told how to put my email in the box that says email. Or organisation name in the…

The point of the video is to show me the value. Show me what I can create. Within the first 10 seconds I should say “wow, I want this”.

Start with a result, and then go through the key! Portions of the process, if you feel that’s the value.

There’s no cloned voice in the whole video…
Interesting last thought. I have long wondered whether our brains are fully “deterministic”, but I assume that would be nearly impossible to verify for a device with such complex state and varied input.

I think it’s crucial that this expectation should not be thought of as some sort of natural law. There is no requirement investment capital have value. On the contrary, one would expect the value of capital to continue to decline over time, especially due to structural demographic shifts.

It’s also the job of central banks to manipulate capital markets (“rows in a database”) to meet their mandates and desired outcomes.

Back when I was losing weight, I was fueled by caffeine, anxiety, and aspartame, so this checks out with my own experience. 270 to 180, sitting now around 205.

I did mostly cardio back then, but now lift weights. Switching to 0-calorie drinks has allowed me to better balance my diet for my personal wants/needs.
> You don’t think that the supply chain issues are related to our Covid strategy of “Stay the Fuck Home” via massive printing of money to support ridiculous unemployment benefits and bridge loans to businesses?

The supply chain is affected way more by what China does than by any other country. I do not think that supply chain and inflation problems are just happening in the USA but world wide.
Superficially, sure. But if you asked someone to regal you with a story they alluded to and they responded with "well, it was a very fine story, indeed" and other superficially valid (but empty/vapid) responses; eventually, you'd realize something is off.
You need the still to start with :) But even then, you need the wood to fire them.

But yes, with draft animals you can make a go of it. It just won't leave you a lot of time to tinkertoy with the "leftover machines".

I don't think it's an unsurvivable scenario per se. I just think that the idea that you already have a starting point for an industrialized civilization is either quite naive, or takes a quite liberal view of "starting point".
I don't want to be Conspiracy Guy here but I read that the officers on the scene fired 26-27 shots into the classroom where the shooter was. 26-27 sounds like a LOT of shots. I get it that this isn't some sniper rifle on Call of Duty but is this going to end up like a Pat Tillman situation where we find out later that one of these kids was hit by friendly fire? Where did those 26-27 shots end up? Sounds a bit reckless in those close confines without more details.

Yep, that sounds like a rate for a paved site with electrical, water, and sewer hookups.

State park "primitive" campsite here is $15 max. That's still in the official campground area. If you hike into a state or national forest, it's free.
No - I think the photos just look like that because they use a long exposure time or high sensor sensitivity (high ISO)
As a non-mathematician, the last truly big mathematical project that caught my imagination was Hilbert's attempt to found all of mathematics on a firm foundation of logic.

That attempt famously and spectacularly failed with Gödel's incompleteness theorems.

Since then it seems that mathematicians have lost interest in foundations and are content to search for interesting results, structures, and systems, even if they don't have a solid foundation.

More recently I've heard some proposals to revisit the foundational project but with higher-order logics proving the consistency and completness of lower-order ones, which sounds interesting, but I'm not sure how much progress has been made, and to a non-mathematician/non-logician even that attempt sounds a bit like a house of cards.

Does anyone here know about this and if there are even any mathematicians around these days who are still interested in it?

You can't do that though because at a certain point inflation expectations become inbuilt and then people want to get paid more, spend more now rather than save (expecting higher prices next year) etc etc. This makes those inflation expectations self-fulfilling. The fed really needs to be aggressive enough to affect those expectations.
The problem with such definitions is that you then have to define "experience" and "feeling".

And if you try, it's extremely hard to do without such definitions including "sentience" either directly or indirectly. But if you do that, then the whole construct is just an exercise in tautology.
Great use of an old DSLR camera, the quality elevates this to wonderful.
Absolutely. It's a marketing gimmick, not reality.

I think solar cells on EV will be a thing if something like perovskites hit the market. 20% efficiencies for very cheaply printed solar cells, would be a nice add-on if they are basically added for free to the car.
...and come back again, only to disappear once more whereupon they reform in the next cycle. This has happened many times already and it will continue on its way until the sun heats up the atmosphere enough to boil off all water/Iceland succumbs to some massive volcanic eruption/etc.

Realise that according to the prophesies of doom you are quoting you would have been dead many times over, many years ago. Seeing as how you're still around to tell us those glaciers will meet an untimely end those prophecies - and with that your claim - do not carry the weight they are often given.
The US is absolutely not following Japan. Japan has almost no immigration while the US practically has no borders. Our birthrate is also much closer to replacement levels than Japan. Because there are more (and growing) people chasing fewer assets/production the US can easily end up in an inflationary spiral while this is nearly impossible for Japan.
The problem is that as these gas stations go insolvent the land will be a liability instead of an asset because you have to cleanup the tanks and likely will find damage to soil or ground water.

....What? Why is that relevant? Europe is bigger than the US. Norway is bigger than New Jersey! Croatia is bigger than Massachusetts! Germany is bigger than Florida! Are you suggesting that because some arbitrarily-chosen borders from one are larger than other arbitrary borders on another somehow negates my point? Why does the size of the land-mass you live inside dictate the distance you need to travel day-to-day?

People live in New York City. It's in the US. Those people tend to drive a lot less than those living in, say, Los Angeles—who also unambiguously live in the US. Why?

Regulation, sentiment, Tether falling apart, a serious recession... Anything, and nothing could be the last straw.

Precisely speaking, it'll end when people, on the net, will stop see buying it as a way to make money. When that will happen is anyone's guess.
From what I have seen around half of 7/11’s are selling gas and locations without pumps seem to do just fine.

Long term people in EV’s will still want to get a cold drink and a snack on a long trip and someone is going to be selling that.
Got it.

Well if that were the case, I’d use a profiler to see if spending time on optimizing ‘abs’ would realistically be worth it.

Write better. Always.
Generating some sort of fuel is probably the best idea indeed. Hydrogen is often suggested because it's easiest to create out of water, but it's also hard to store. Ethanol is definitely easier to store, but requiring a lot of biomass is definitely a bit of an obstacle.
A fixed decision tree isn't machine learning. If the tree can be updated or generated by code, then sure, but a human just writing a decision tree has nothing to do with machine learning.
I’m assuming they’ll be put in fixed applications where weight and max efficiency/charge aren’t critical, unless they’re already damaged. Pumped storage is economically viable at 70-80% efficient at each cycle after a big capital investment.

It won’t be EV battery recycling but just battery recycling.
And it probably includes a digital download of the egg.
We'll only solve inflation when we solve the Welfare state. We need to abandon unemployment and single-parenthood payments, and raise the pension access age to 70 alongside a privatization of social security.

This will force people back into the workforce and free up capital so that we can friend-shore supply chains.
Side note to that, a lot of the orgs that actually have medical PII (schools, especially) will be significantly less compliant themseles with things like HIPAA than the vendors they use.
A ketogenic diet is ultra-low-carb, to the point where your body enters ketosis, and becomes much more amenable to burning your fat reserves for energy.

Essentially, keto-friendly means very low carb/sugar.
US has this too, most hardware stores, and some offices.

Some people are just lazy or don't know.

There was a moment for a while during the 2010s where NC was being touted as a new tech hub to rival SF/Austin/Portland. However, southern politicians (both republican and democrat) have tried their damndest to make that not happen.

> Or equivalently, tax rich people more.

"Soak the rich" is a nonstarter if you're after tax revenue (as opposed to intentionally stoking widespread social envy for political gain), and everyone knows it. The middle class is where the real money is.
A lot of teams use tools that can do this sort of thing OK out of the box. I've set up CI to only run affected tests and use incremental builds in the past. My current project has incremental CI.

The core problem is actually dev teams. Every time I've tried to implement incremental CI when I wasn't in a position to force it through, people fought against it, complained, moaned etc until higher level management gave in. The problems were:

1. People liked the feeling of every test passing every change. It made them feel safe and like they could point the finger at CI if something went wrong, because if every test passed it's definitely not their fault, right? But this leads to slow builds and then they complain about that instead. However this is preferable because slow builds are the project manager/TL's problem to solve, not theirs, so there's a built-in bias towards over-testing.

2. If there's any issue with the build system that causes one test run to affect another in some way (shared state of any kind), then incrementality can cause hard to understand flakes. Sometimes tests will just fail and it'll go away if you force a truly clean rebuild. Devs hate this because they've been taught that flaky tests are the worst possible evil.

3. Build systems are generally hard-wired for correctness, so if you make a change in a module that everything transitively depends on, they'll insist on retesting everything. This is reasonable from a theoretical perspective, but again, leads to very slow builds and people finding ways around them.

4. Work-shifting. Splitting stuff out into separate build systems (separate repos is not really the issue here), may appear to solve these issues, but of course in reality just hides them. Now if you change a core module and break things, you just won't know about it until much later when that other team updates to the new version of the module. But at that point you're working on another ticket and it's now their problem to deal with, not yours, so you successfully externalized the work of updating the use sites to someone else.

Competent firms like Google have found solutions to these problems by throwing hardware at it, and by ensuring nobody was able to create their own repositories or branches. If your company uses GitHub though, you're doomed. No way to enforce a monorepo/unified CI discipline in such a setup.
I think all these pursuits for AI, even weak AI, is foolish. Mostly because we've yet to fully utilize computers. For example, as a programmer I'm mostly focused on how to tell a computer through primitive instructions to do some kind of work. Rarely do I find myself making use of constraints or goals or any kind of logic based formalisms. Sure, we got some functional programming features in most languages, but we don't have anything close to high level constraint or goal oriented programming yet. These were things that I believe computer scientists were focused on in the 1970s but some how these concerns were sidelined for pipe dreams of AI. It's an odd world we live in that we're basically in the Bronze Age of Computing while thinking up flying machines (AI) that belong to a far more advanced age.

It kind of feels like Sid is lying through his teeth here, as a person who deploys and maintains a private Gitlab installation, along with a whole host of other core platform services for internal use. Gitlab is by far the most modular off-the-shelf product I've encountered outside of JFrog's Xray. Look at their official Helm chart: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/charts/gitlab. Gitlab itself consists of 14 sub-charts and it also bundles 4 third-party sub-charts for object storage, a web proxy and ingress controller, certificate management, and the internal container registry. Gitlab without the third parties I believe consists of 15 distinct containers.

I don't think it matches what most people think of when they hear "monolith." It is absolutely not a single process only communicating between components via function calls. Many of the Gitlab core services, such as Gitaly, are written in Go, as well, not Ruby, though they also have "gitaly-ruby" as a testing service that can be used by developers not comfortable with Go.
>I think monogamous people are monogamous because they are insecure.

But how does the author differentiate between "insecurity" and "protecting myself from an outcome I do not want." Just because a potential outcome makes me anxious does not inherently mean it's just an "insecurity" that I should "grow out of."

[edit]

This is clearly a failure of imagination on the author's part. I'm pretty introverted, and when I was younger I sort of implicitly suspected that no one "really" liked going to concerts. Somehow going to concerts had become a popular thing, and everyone must have been pretending to enjoy them just to fit in.

Clearly, this idea was as incorrect as it was naive. I had suffered a failure of imagination, and had incorrectly assumed that my native perspective was far more common than it is.

I think we've all suffered these sorts of failures at one point or another.
Expert witnesses are generally committing the "argument from authority" fallacy anyway.

The answer to authority fear and monogamy concerns is faith or religion.
On further reading on this blog, aella was raised fundamentalist evangelist and it didn't take, by the time she was 19 it fell off her like a cloak that never fit.

It's a tiny bit of a shame, glad she's doing well but it is clear stepping into a more traditional church that has survived the test of time (and isn't fundamentalist) like catholic, orthodox or episcopal might provide her with the seed of a faith that can last.

She knows what she's doing though, the subtitle of her blog is "In pursuit of an internally consistent annihilation", so be her wants. A long way from Mary.
The US has been increasing the number of guns and has seen a decrease in violence.
That's an example of the sunk cost fallacy. If a business makes a $600k investment sometimes it's better to just cut their losses instead of trying to continue with something they have already invested time and money into.

There's no evidence the chickens know they're taking a selfie, but that shouldn't stop you from imagining for fun that they might. After all, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence: perhaps chickens are not so vain as we are, and their reaction when taking the picture is cool nonchalance.
"Intelligence" and "sentience" are different things.
