> Electric vehicles tend to produce fewer emissions over their life cycles than equivalent vehicles powered by fossil fuels, but the framing often used by government and industry that they are "zero emissions" is misleading.

> Unlike a conventional vehicle whose emissions come from burning fossil fuels, a greater share of an EV's emissions come from its production; more specifically, its battery. This is the side of the EV that often doesn't make it into the ad campaigns.

while no greenhouse gas emissions directly come from EVs, they run on electricity that is, in large part, still produced from fossil fuels in many parts of the world.

Thats the real side that doesnt make it into the ad campaigns (and yes, Canada is one of the better countries out there for Energy mix)
Thanks for elaborating. You're right: the title is misleading. I changed the title to reflect what I meant to write about: "Want to learn about entrepreneurship, as a software engineer? Sell something online".

And yes, your point is a valid criticism on "selling advice" without having been successful the space you write about. It's also a reason why I'm trying to steer clear on offering advice on running or scaling a business - since running my own business, ironically. I made one exception so far on this, sharing my thoughts on the term 'creator'. [1].

I also noticed how writing about business topics pulls in people who want to succeed in a similar way, and can go down the "publish self help content" in ways that you described. It's not appealing to me.

Appreciate the caveats on the publication! I'll also think of how to make it more clear to indicate my sources are direct and the information is "exclusive" without over using the "exclusive" part.

Haha I don't know if it matters much whether we praise the `pybind11` folks in particular or the Python community in general or both: they are fucking amazing at what they do. It's such a hard problem that most language communities don't even seriously try, it's a nightmare to get even close on, and they get more than close. Everything just works exactly as you'd expect, with great performance (relatively speaking of course) into the bargain.

Top ten best open source language efforts on Earth. Maybe top five. Just legendary stuff.

I do think that for all its faults though (cough packaging cough), the Python community displays an incredible commitment to getting shit done and helping people solve their problems. It's really a rather mediocre language as these scripty things go, but it just friggin works, which is why everyone uses it for everything.
I think law clerks and other legal professionals would be using a curated service (most likely LexisNexis) as their primary information source, not Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is quite unreliable on any major legal case, controversial issue, political personality, corporate entity etc., as the relevant wikipedia pages end up being heavily manipulated by agenda-driven editors who often erase or alter the most important information.

This article is part of the recent transparent shift in propaganda from denial to bargaining, now that the effects of climate change are felt, and have a measurable impact on the economy.

This is coming from people who aren't climate scientists, but have ties to the fossil fuel industry and made careers from muddying the waters, posing as contrarian experts.

Robert Pielke here spent the last 10 years lying about climate scientists, insinuating that they exaggerate the problem for funds, and that they cannot be trusted. His latest stunt is delivering the good news on climate, even though his own paper solely based on International Energy Agency projections predicts a 2°C to 3°C overshoot by 2100, which would be catastrophic. And that's with progress in mitigation, and no feedbacks affecting climate change.

It's not just a "set back", it's a fantasy. There's a hundred times too many people on this Earth to live like that. We've leveraged up our population using technology, and there's no way to unwind that without also eliminating almost everyone. Nor would we want to. Say what you will about the ills of technology, but I'm so much happier to be living now than a hundred years ago. Life is better by nearly every way you want to measure it. We'll have to get ourselves out of the climate mess the same way we got into it - with technology.

For what is worth, dall-e is great for exploring but it's nowhere near to being able to deliver a particular image you might have in your mind.

I wanted a very particular, well defined scene:

- A pig and a donkey play poker at the poker table.
- The pig is using a computer while playing and we can see the screen of the pig.
- The pig must look like a pig
- The donkey must look like a donkey
- The cards and chips must look like chips and cards

The dall-e simply can't deliver. Nothing is even remotely close to what I want.
The best things I came up with after dozens of attempts (I bought extra credits) is something like this:
https://i.gyazo.com/4bec0651b78f29a45c291a7f48f468e4.jpg

Kinda there, but the pig doesn't look like a pig or a donkey doesn't look like a donkey, or it's not a pig that has a computer and the cards and chips never look like cards and chips.

So in short - nobody is losing their jobs yet I think.
My apologies if I misunderstood. When you said "My problem with nuclear is the lack of a solution for waste" you meant "My problem with nuclear in the US is the lack of a currently implemented solution for waste"? And the "our" in "It hardly seems like a solved problem when we our concrete implementation of a solution has yet to arrive." is referring to Americans?

> In a venn diagram "pedestrians" and "car owners" would be nearly a perfect circle.

Nonsense. The ability to walk doesn't a pedestrian make" in the context of the discussion, and having to walk from the parking lot to the store and back isn't a pedestrian activity.

Even worse, completely ahistorical, nonsense. Long-term infrastructural decisions are rarely decided directly by voters (as Robert Moses knew and leveraged), and furthermore can often be swayed by short terms concerns.

We have gone so awfully off the bend with our cities; not places to live but places to drive through. I'm hoping that with the trend to more homeoffice, we can maybe scale back the commuting a bit and go back a step towards cities for living, with community neighborhoods, parks and public spaces everywhere.

Just imagine turning the streets of your local city into green lanes, with lots of excellent public transport. That would be amazing.

>The overwhelming bulk of utility scale storage will not be in batteries. They cost too much per kWh stored. Bulk storage will be in media where incremental kWh are cheapest.

One side of this comparison has cost estimates, the other one is vaporware. You need a certain generation capacity for hydrogen (or whatever) measured in watts, not watt-hours; these plants require maintenance and operation costs likely much higher than batteries. With battery costs approaching $100/kWh, many TWh of storage are attainable.

I'm assuming that nuclear will be a significant part of the energy supply, so I would not expect it to be necessary to, for example, store six months' worth of energy for the winter.
It isn't that obvious that this is alarming. What are we alarmed about?

The point of judges is that they make judgements. The citing of other law is just to try and keep some consistency between the judgements to make them predictable. In theory they could even give out inconsistent judgements and that would also be workable, it just happens that it usually means something bad is happening because judges aren't naturally more pleasant people than the horrible Mass of Humans that causes so much grief. So we want judges to put in an effort at consistency and if they are consistently using Wikipedia as a reference then it is easier for the rest of us to guess what the system is about to do.

It is easy to influence judicial opinion on a case. There are even professionals hired to do it as a full time job! We call them lawyers.
> and how many are needed

According to this paper, one can use 2n+3 qubits to factor an integer with n bits:

https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0205095

Those would be perfect qubits, if you use noisy qubits you'd need many more (maybe a factor of 1000x more), since quantum error correction imposes a lot of overhead.
> I searched on several sites to find out what their memory management strategy is but couldn’t figure it out.

Carbon might be shy about its footprint.
Not that I think submodules are great, but they can be used while still maintaining atomicity. It's just that the atomic update happens when updating the submodule commit in the parent project.

This isn't any different than how say a b+tree (or other persistent data structures) rewrite their nodes from the leaf to the root, but leave non-involved subtrees as they were.

There winds up being a lot of activity on the superproject that amounts to just updating its submodules, but the commit log for it becomes a linearized history of stable/compatible commit versions.

There's definitely room for improvement wrt usability, but the claim that git has No atomicity across subprojects doesn't ring true to me

Not to mention that Wikipedia also acts as a filter for importance. Important cases are more likely to have articles. This is bad for exhaustive research, but great for "I need to write a summary by tomorrow."
It’s pretty easy to insert colors into to prompt using conditional logic in things like bashrc. You can also add them to other system tools like ‘screen’ and (I assume) ‘tmux’. People can override them if they want, but it’s a good starting default (and people rarely override defaults on a fleet of servers).
Consider, however, that the output of these systems may not be copyrightable.

So, when you move human involvement up to a higher layer of abstraction, it’s possible that the economics of the whole effort will be fundamentally transformed. Meaning, if these systems displace human artists, copyright itself may cease to be a motivator of economic activity—removing a significant incentive for the production of new art.

Also, keep in mind that:

(1) there are likely to be many fewer human custodians of systems like this who sustain themselves economically than there are artists who currently sustain themselves by producing new art; and

(2) these systems are only as good as the artistic inputs that are fed to them, and is very unlikely that the contributing artists gave their consent or were compensated for their involvement in any way.

Many more than that.
It's partially the ideology but also the fact that as a very weak fiat currency everyone who bought in early has no way to cash out unless they can convince other people to buy their tokens instead of something else. All of those VCs, early adopters, etc. have a massive financial incentive both to talk it up constantly and create pump-and-dump schemes around things like NFTs because the alternative is walking away from the money they initially spent. The sums in question will pay for a lot of promotion and human psychology tells us there will be plenty of people hoping they can promote it back up to what they think it's worth based on paper profits they didn't realize in the past. I'd expect even more volatility as the major players quietly cash out.

Isn't it also for the safety of pedestrians? It's not a good idea to walk on the train tracks either. It seems like the "entire concept" of not walking in front of heavy, fast moving objects may predate automobiles.
Today they treat pedestrians as dangerous obstacles.

There are many centralized web services that operate around the world with high security.

I know. I have run one for over 20 years. My solution --- build a unique, custom, single purpose web server software that only supports a very strict set of functionality after every single request has been thoroughly vetted.

I see the attacks mounted against my server on a daily basis --- mostly focused around canned, off the shelf server software and the endless flaws and shortcomings in either the software itself or how it is configured.

A server dealing with money will likely attract increased attention and sophistication.

Admittedly most people and companies are bad at this.

An undergraduate degree, a masters, and a PhD is completely normal for an academic. The latter two are often picked up while on a studentship with a stipend. Although it is possible to self-fund graduate school it's normally not a great idea.

The second masters could have been a false-start at an academic career (change discipline/university part way through study and exit with an MA), a holdover from a pre-academic career, or just done for interest.

I've got a BA in politics, a PGDip (2/3 of an MA) in local government management, an MSc in Internet social sciences and a DPhil. I currently work as an academic. I paid only for the BA and the MSc, and under slightly different circumstances wouldn't have needed to pay for the latter. It's not uncommon.
