I'm having trouble finding a reference just now, but the MAC address for a modem-based link on Windows had "DESK" until it started causing real trouble. And one of those problems was that GUIDs were obtained by using "the MAC address" of the PC as an input to a DEC-Intel-Xerox-Microsoft algorithm. Around the time of this coming to a head, it came up that some manufacturers were out of MAC addresses for whatever reason, and also that some manufacturers were assuming that two random NICs on an Ethernet would not both be one of $MANUFACTURER's cards, so care was not necessary.
My Aircon uses about 4kw (3 to 4 is typical) plus several 100s W for the fan. So ev usage time times that is the reduced power available and thus reduced range. It is just as noticeable on a petrol car especially on lower power compact versions, it won't have too much impact on gas guzzling engines since they are already inefficient and usually more powerful so it is less noticeable, though the added consumption will be more of course.
They.... aren't.
Awhile back, I wanted to check out Tableau, which offers free licensing to students. I signed up at my local CC (in US) to get a student .edu email, but didn't register for courses.
IIRC, registration was required to get a student ID card, but not the email address.
> This is the kind of GMO that's generally considered fairly benign

not by me. The rpecautionary principle is not followed in any GM process so invasive.

Even breeding, which is a far less invasive form of genetic manipulation, has caused serious issues. The vast majority of commercial produce has had a lot of its nutrition bred out of it, for example.

These kinds of long arc problems for the consumers of the food are not possible to track over anything but multiple generations (generations of the consumers of the food, not generations of the plants). They become all but impossible to track when the incentives of the systems at play essentially guarantee fuckery with regards to the gathering, interpretation, and dissemination of data that jepordizes profits.

Writing is a craft or art learned and refined through skill.

I'd argue that it is.

I would probably draw a line between writing and vernacular speech, in the sense of language acquired simply through assimilation and not specifically trained or drilled.

There might be writing which fails that test (e.g., very basic literacy), and of speech which passes (advanced rhetoric, debate, accents and impressions, singing, etc.).

But as a socially-acquired means-to-an-end refined by practice and study, yes, technology.
> I mean what I said, thanks.

You said "isn't real", that's literally all you said. It's good that you have since clarified what you meant, but next time define what you mean from the start.

Either way the plant in Germany is still operational, the one Audi had. It's operated by Kiwi AG and it's located in Werlte.

> I have to to admit, it's pretty exhausting how solar fans always end up relying on devices that have never been built to explain why they're the right choice

Don't make so many assumptions. Pointing out something exists doesn't really give you any info on whether I am a solar fan or not. It also doesn't mean I believe it is the right choice.
That's a very common misconception. The egg shells are for their calcium carbonate, in order to cut down acidity and improve the flavor. The classic trick to causing the grounds to settle quickly is simply to add a little bit of cold water at the end of brewing.
That does not say much about Spain. It's a failure of the US.
Maybe that's not a good sample? Both by size, and selection, insofar as if you've recently got disfiguring scars perhaps you'd be less likely to make and share a video of yourself.
Also, how long does it take to know if marks from pox sores are going to be permanent scars anyway? Or how much they might fade? This is all so recent that even if you did still have marks on your face afterwards, could you really know whether they'll be "disfiguring" in the future?
I learned on only open source tooling and I feel learning to collaborate with the open source community benefited me greatly.

Yes, the Asian flush gene comes with a headache and nausea for some. Two friends who experience versions of this had it confirmed on their 23andme results. Explanation:

> Alcohol or ethanol is broken down or converted in the liver to acetaldehyde, a highly toxic compound that contributes to the hungover feeling. In most people, acetaldehyde is rapidly transformed to harmless acetate and water.

> However, for some Asians, Ashkenazi Jews and others whose gene pool contains a mutant or altered form of the ALDH2 gene, the toxic acetaldehyde isn’t broken down as quickly, so it hangs around and accumulates in the liver and body [...]

https://news.usc.edu/112489/antihistamines-prevent-asian-flu...

The thing I really wonder is whether on balance, this works out to be a bug or a feature. Personally I don't get a headache, but I also don't feel the euphoria that many clearly do.
I think it's a snarky way of saying "if college debts are cancelled, self-taught people would thus be paying the tuition fees of those who went to college".

The vast majority of startups are not CPU, GPU, or network intensive so it makes complete sense to go cloud first. They sell an efficiency at extreme markups because they provide business value. I've seen $XX,000,000 businesses run on < $10000 / month cloud costs
On the topic at hand, though: Scotland has recently introduced free bus travel for resident under 25s, which is really useful. When I was that age I'd always take the bus over to Glasgow, because it was cheaper than the train. Between long-distance and local bus services, my teens can get most places in Scotland reasonably easily. And even down to Berwick or Carlisle, although they'd need to pay to go any further into England.
In my country, Romania, most people believe the state has their own money that are used to pay for stuff. Even if they pay taxes, people still believe there is no strict correlation. Is it an education problem? Yes. Is it an important distinction that needs to be made every single time until they understand? YES. And I saw that in most of the countries around (former Eastern European Communist countries). This is because nobody tells kids and young adults in school how the basic government financing works, not even in most universities.

A couple of million of these Romanians live in Spain. Guess what they think about "free trains".
> Human to human spread was confirmed before any international case was found.

Technically true, but very misleading. It was discovered that it was already in Italy before China acknowledged human-to-human transmission.

Also, nothing in my first comment has anything to do with the US. I don't know why you keep shifting attention to the US, unless you think the US is responsible for the international spread?
In a sense, student loan forgiveness is making the financially responsible (self-taught, self-made, more valuable degree, worked through college) pay for the financially irresponsible.
Is it though?

The ‘world’ is a large place. Is it eating it everywhere or nibbling at it in the more developed economies?

While at it, I should mention Zig.
Here is a similar project that generates kerosene and diesel from water and carbon dioxide by using a ceria-based redox reaction to convert them into hydrogen and carbon monoxide (syngas):

https://newatlas.com/energy/solar-jet-fuel-tower/

The plant created 5191 liters (1371 gallons) of syngas in 9 days, whereas a Boeing 787 Dreamliner carries 126,372 liters (36,384 gallons). The conversions are not linear, but that is something like a refueled plane every 219 days, give or take an order of magnitude. Looks like the conversion efficiency is 4% but 20% is expected after recycling heat and catalyst improvements.

I find stuff like this simultaneously inspiring and devastating. The technology has arrived to easily create our own electricity and fuel without having to deal with supply chain issues around centralized photovoltaic manufacturers, yet the size of the challenge is insurmountable. There is simply no way to scale this big enough to save the natural world before global warming destroys it at the end of the century.

So, that leaves us with nuclear power (fission). I appreciate that a lot of people have worked very hard on it and have humanity's best interests at heart. But they don't understand human psychology. We all know that we've been lied to about the safety of nuclear power, but they pretend that it can be made safe. While simultaneously avoiding discussion about the externalities like nuclear waste storage, nuclear proliferation, even the inherent security issues around large centralized power generation or what will happen after wars or other emergencies force workers to abandon nuclear facilities. So I don't trust them, and that's why I don't consider nuclear to be a viable alternative, and I have an unlimited list of evidence against it so I don't bother debating it anymore.

Which leaves us with what I feel is the actual solution. Yet again, as in most things, we have to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps. I think that we'll solve it through cultural evolution. Each of us has to get to sustainability on an individual level, then lift at least one other person (preferably someone we don't know) out of dependence. Which is still a big problem, but it's smaller than paying off a mortgage.

So everyone's gotta wake up, forget they got hoodwinked, stop listening to the wealthy and powerful people talking us out of this, and just start doing it. Be a real conservative, lead by example. Be a real liberal, pay it forward. Mourn the breakdown of our institutions that set this back 40 years. Then do something about it by evangelizing sustainability and stop voting for people who pass the buck. Help people who don't get it find their way out of cognitive dissonance.

Solarpunk is a great place to start.

Please stop, this is gatekeeping. What is even the point of open source if we are going to insist that only projects that reach a certain "proportion of praise" are allowed to exist? That would mean that only the projects that were already popular will succeed, and everything else will fail.

Ex-Amazon here.

Leaked documents aren't necessary to know that Amazon — among other FAANG companies — stack rank. But I will say that when Forte (the system used for performance reviews) first rolled out about 4-5 years ago, it was initially intended as a way to solicit feedback from your peers: and it was used that way.

At first.

But of course, within a few years, the system evolved and was eventually tied to your compensation.
This. IANAP (...Not A Physicist), but condensing water vapor releases a whole lotta heat. If you could do that "free" - well, setting up a heat engine between your hot condenser and the evaporation-cooled spot where you let the water vaporize again becomes a classic perpetual motion machine.

(Yes, I see that the article claims their system is a mere 10 to 30 times more energy efficient than conventional dehumidifiers. That still sounds far too good to be true.)
Try Quiqr, which just launched at HugoConf:

Really? Most of that is pretty simple to do in i3 / sway at least.

Every one of those things worked out of the box for me the last time I installed (which, admittedly, was via Manjaro, so a fair amount of config came from them). Even prior to that when I rolled an i3 setup by hand, external displays was the only troublesome bit.
Incredibly cool (ahem) resource, though it seems to prefer temps about 5C higher than those preferred by people who like AC.
> GPT-3 already uses about twice as many parameters

This isn't accurate. GPT-3 has 175B parameters. The human brain has ~175B cells (neurons, glia, etc.) The analog to GPT-3's parameter count would be synapses, not neurons, where even conservative estimates put the human brain at several orders of magnitude larger. It's likely that >90% of the 175B could be pruned with little change in performance. That changes the synapse ratios since we know the brain is quite a bit sparser. In addition, the training dataset is likely broader than the majority of Internet users. Basically, its not an apples-to-apples comparison.

That said, I agree that simply scaling model and data is the naive approach.
Oh no I'm very happy for this initiative! My comment was not about the initiative, but about the corruption, incompetence and delays that plague the Spanish train systems. At least now it's free so that's great news! See in my other comment, they had to force airlines to make planes more expensive because people were using planes instead of the Madrid <=> Valencia train.

Also I'm comparing it to Tokyo, which as others comment is a bit unfair since it's basically the best train network in the world.

> contributes to poor code quality

I have another perspective, I think code quality are pretty uniform across languages, either all of ones code quality is poor or it will be fine across all language one writes.

Most of the code quality stems from logically dividing the building blocks and making it readable. Hence it should be logically traceable and uses the basics whenever possible. This is good, readable code.

Obviously some languages demands greater knowledge (e.g. C, Haskell) to master and use appropriately but they are a minority.
> writing formulas in latek is wayyy faster to write and easier to maintain

I was told by a friend that the Equation Editor in Word would silently accept LaTeX math-mode equation syntax and convert it automatically. Besides trying it out briefly, i never used it extensively, so I'm not sure how complete it is. Still, it's there.
F# 6.0 added the 'task' computation expression, which is much more performant than the F# 'async' methods. It also makes interop with C# projects and libraries simpler, as is uses the same mechanism that C#'s async/await does. I have used it in production workflows without major performance issues FWIW.
> How far should you let someone fuck around with your license terms before you decide to exercise the nuclear option?

Game theory (specifically the iterated prisoners' dilemma) says: once. Many results from psychology - especially parenting - support the same conclusion. Both punishment/retribution for bad behavior and reward for improving behavior should be swift and unambiguous. It's ChessBase's turn to cooperate and show some good faith. Words alone won't do it.

Feral children (affectionate). I'm a lesbian who was born in 1988, and my first introduction to queer culture was queer teenagers/young adults online from when I was in elementary school. (They're why I knew it was okay to be gay!)

However, I don't recall many, if any, people over 30 around. It was very much like one of those stories where everybody above a certain age is wiped out. Hence my affectionate dubbing of us as feral children.

I still use Emacs to compose emails. I just copy/paste to a GUI client when I'm done composing.

When free buss passes were issued in Bucharest, Romania, to people over 65 years old there was a major problem with some of these people taking the bus across town for most of the day during winter and turn off the heating at home. Others were crossing the town for several hours a day because they were bored at home. It was reported in local newspapers and even national TV. One does not need to be really homeless to figure out it is convenient to occupy a bus or a train.

The problem with these theories is that they lack any sensible explanation of motive. Google intentionally degrading its search results because they "earn more if the user has to search again and again" just doesn't feel right: even if it were true in some short-term experiment, it would compromise the way people at Google think of themselves and their work to a degree that would be devastating to the company. There is no way they would throw away that sort of value without being under intense pressure, which they definitely are not.

The author responded in the appeal with "You cannot possibly be this dense."

If you want to win an appeal, starting by accusing your appeal reviewer of being dense isn't a good strategy.

I wouldn't be surprised if they have a rule that covers this type of behavior in appeals, and the appeal was denied due to language instead of the content itself.

Is it fair? From a content moderation perspective, no it's not. But I can also see why a platform would not be in a rush to restore accounts where the appellant can't even behave nicely in a two-sentence appeal.

While that is true, the precautionary principle is also not followed in any other process. It can't be, because the precautionary principle is nothing more than the statement "never do anything, not under any circumstances".

I used notmuch/mu4e/emacs for a bit with my work email when I was in a role that got tons of email.

These sorts of vague accusations have been made against Huawei for several years now, but to date, no one has ever produced a shred of evidence that Huawei installs backdoors on its telecommunications equipment. Huawei devices are installed all over the place, and it's not as if there's been a lack of scrutiny. In the UK, Huawei even submitted to regular audits by British intelligence, and nothing was ever found. Every claim that's been made has turned out to be along the lines of, "We discovered that Huawei uses industry-standard tools to update firmware on its devices, and the network operators have the ability to oversee the updates."

The accusations are pure assertions, backed up by a general suspicion of everything Chinese. This really began with Trump, and it's been sad to watch Western countries fall ever deeper into paranoia and hatred towards China. It's Yellow Peril v2.0.
