Average miles per year in the USA is 12,000 miles or so. With a ev with 300 mile range that's 40 times per year, or less than once a week.

Typically a fill up in a sedan/small truck is around 75-80 kwh.

So basically the cost of the grid is related to it's peak power, which in most locales is the hottest day of the summer. So as long as you charge off peak it's not a big deal, and if anything it helps the grid. By charging off peak you are generating more revenue for the grid, while not making it more expensive to build or maintain. In fact if enough usage off peak and the cost per kwh can drop for everyone and the cost difference between offpeak and peak would decrease.

Charging 75kwh off peak once every 9 days or so, isn't a big deal. I've got a 60 amp circuit that charges my EV at 220v @ 48 amps, so one hour = 10.5 kwh. So that's about what I need to average a day. But if there was a heat warning (or say a electricity price spike) I could easily go several days without charging, even a week.

I was playing with a solar calculator and it looked like I could offset my EV's electricity use with 8 panels (on average) or something like 6 in the summer and 12 in the winter.

Because of this Biden set a goal of 50% of new cars being EVs by 2030. That's a pretty modest goal, especially since the average age of cars is in the 8-10 year range. So by the end of 2030 1/8 to 1/10th of the cars should be EVs. At that rate the current grid needs to grow by less than 1% a year.

Even a small incentive for workplaces to cover parking lots with solar should greatly help to offset the needs of EVs. The benefits would be manifold. Cities would have reduced heat island effects. Cars with less range would be more practical. Even ICE cars benefit by cooler cars in the summer, there's a significant energy spent cooling even car interior for the first few miles.
I agree that the term isn't self-explanatory, which is why people get easily confused. I also happen to agree with Stallman there and I strongly prefer to use the term "Free Software" instead, as it highlights what's actually important. Nevertheless, the "obvious meaning" isn't how it's actually being used in communities that produce and use such software, so its actual meaning is still worth pointing out.
Correct. But what you can do is to cut the time it will take for you to get the mileage you need.

By having a bigger battery, you can charge more cells at the same time. Say you need 100 miles to finish your trip. If your range is 160 miles you are going to spend about 30 minutes to get the mileage you need, and you are going to stress your battery. But if your total range is 400 miles? You can pump way more power, charge the 25% you need, in just a few minutes.
The pictures are certainly deep down in the uncanny valley, but I think they would be great for nightmarish games. In fact, game developers (and especially game artists) might be the next profession on the line, to be automated by AI.
For sure, if a standardization process had been called to design a VPN protocol, I'd agree that the resulting design would almost certainly be less than WireGuard. I think that the competitive nature of the PQC process as well as soliciting completed submissions as opposed to a process to build from the ground-up helps in this regard. I don't think that engages with the point I was making, however: the original submission of WireGuard made claims that were incorrect, which would have arguably been caught sooner if it were a part of a formal standardization process, since researchers would have been incentivized to analyse it sooner.
> The problem with that theory is that writing code is easier than reading code. This is generally not the case in other professions. It is definitely not the case for an artist.

> You still need correct code, and the halting problem says you can't prove whether code does what you want it to. At the end of the day, someone needs to be able to go in and fix shit the AI did wrong, and to do that you need to understand the code the AI wrote.

This might have been your point, but chances are the "code the AI wrote" will be an unmaintainable mess, so "fixing it" means throwing it away and re-doing it.
I've had 2 LinkedIn accounts since the early days.

There was a brief time that my 2nd account showed as endorsing my other one. Despite me never doing such a thing.

Probably a bug but I know I've heard lots of similar stories and I'm always sus of just automated engagement in any social media curated or created site. Including imdb.

No VC wants to be the only investor -- more investors, more validation, greater valuations, bigger upside.
Here is my periodic system nonsense again: a European discovered silicon. America's not all that. Also, you seem to have a chicken and egg problem with your reasoning.
> Research in the 1970s by John Jeavons and the Ecology Action Organization found that 4000 square feet (about 370 square metres) of growing space was enough land to sustain one person on a vegetarian diet for a year, with about another 4000 square feet (370 square meters) for access paths and storage – so that’s a plot around 80 feet x 100 feet (24m x 30m).

That’s about a fifth of an acre, and other caveats apply like climate and the amount of labor during the growing season. If vertical farming works, and can also reduce the labor required (I have no idea if that’s one of its goals), it starts to look more plausible as something that could take off. Still won’t fit on a rooftop though, and as Jayne would say, “I smell a lotta ‘if’ coming off that plan.”

I see a business opportunity here. Feed text into GPT-3 and have it generate DALL-E prompts to make appropriate images.

Political union is implausible. Kagame and Museveni can’t even accept domestic term limits. If they won’t hand over power to another one of their countrymen, why would they hand over power to foreigners, especially ones with whom disputes over who gets to steal what from the DRC have emerged?
This was a a nice read, really detailed.
I especially liked that he had the MCU talk directly to the camera with S.BUS (a weird uart with 2 stop bits for the control interface) despite the issues he encountered, instead of going the slightly easier but less elegant route of having a separate computer in the loop to do the HID <> S.Bus translation.
CF was always (approximately) a multiplatform and open source subset of foundation (which is the thing this isn't). I think this is a superset and extension of the original core foundation under more favorable license terms though.

The "original" CF can be found here in various revisions tied to macos versions, complete with theoretically useful Linux makefiles and apple public source license files: https://opensource.apple.com/source/CF/

Compare, for example, these two versions of CFBase.c:

https://opensource.apple.com/source/CF/CF-1153.18/CFBase.c.a...

https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation/blob/main...

(Credentials: I worked on the swift Linux port and made an effort to use these very libraries before the swift project itself took on the task of porting CF to swift. While I was working on it we mostly just ifdef'd out everything to do with foundation when targeting Linux)
> It's certainly possible to keep a generator charging a battery tuned more tightly into its peak combustion efficiency zone

That is _exactly_ what cars like the Chevy Volt did. A much smaller gas engine running at peak efficiency and sending the power to the electric motors was more efficient than burning the gasoline directly. Electric motors are very efficient, and the transmissions losses are much smaller. There's hardly any transmission to talk about, usually it's just some reduction gears.
In the short term, yes. Long term there are so many things we can switch to electricity or to alternate sources.
Not having credit history will absolutely require you to take on a higher interest rate for your mortgage. It's probably 10's of thousands of dollars difference over the length of the loan, depending on how big the mortgage amount is.

Now try context-switching from those to a hour long meandering meeting with no agenda, that you MUST attend in person and pounding away at code on your laptop during the meeting is frowned upon.
1. Confluence is awful.
2. The reality is, people use slack right now and share an enormous amount of knowledge within channels. Would it be better if everyone spent effort writing knowledge to a wiki and linking it? Maybe. It is not happening right now and this tool solves a problem that does exist.
That makes zero sense to anyone who’s ever worked on hosting things in China.

Their Great Firewall makes it a no-go for practically everything and everyone. At the best of times the latency and packet loss are hideous, with abysmal throughput. And then you get cut off randomly for hours, days, or decades at a time on the whim of random CCP members with no recourse.

Paying them is a giant pain in the arse as well.

It is quite literally never the best option.

Hosting sites in Russian — in the middle the current war — would make more sense!
Why do you care? You have a particular vision of how your software should be able to be used. Why do you care if it's "open source" or not? At least with companies, I understand the reason for marketing purposes to be perceived as open source. I'm not sure I understand why an individual maintainer of a project is so desperate to be seen as being open source if it doesn't conform to their vision.
I had a 50 mile/day commute at some point. The 120V outlet in the garage was enough to 'refuel' every day.
I'll just throw out I am a big fan of spaced repetition I highly recommend it to everyone. For those complaining about "infinite recall" you aren't wrong, the pioneer of this movement Piotr Wozniak, even has an article on his wiki (https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Piotr_Wozniak) about how the upper bound of languages you can learn fluently in a lifetime is probably somewhere near 5. But the point isn't to remember everything forever, the purpose is to help you learn better.

My flow right now for learning things is.

1. Find sources copy and paste large swathes of revelevant text and images.

2. Re-read the copy and pasted text and create a detailed summary of it in my own words.

3. Come back a few hours or day later and summarize the summary.

4. Use this as the basis for cards to load into Anki.

It isn't about building a massive repository of facts, and you can do plenty with just steps 1-3 without ever using Spaced Repetition, but the reason I fell in love with spaced repetition and have jumped on it so heavily is that I've done steps 1-3 with a lot of information and subjects, and over time have forgotten all but the most basic things about them. This makes me feel as if part of my time or life was wasted, because if I have to revist something again latter like Sorting Algorithms it feels like starting over. Whereas things I have started to use spaced repetition with, I retain the fundamentals the "outline" of the subject for much longer, and if I have to revisit it I feel much more familiar because to paraphrase Piotr Wozniak. The things we remember well are things that are well located/connected within our knowledge tree.

For those IT people out there as well the other thing spaced repetition and especially Anki is super useful for is learning how to use your tools more effectively because it helps you to remember those features and tricks that you don't use often but super speed things up. For example I used grep for a long time, I often found myself having to hit up the man page, or the DDG if I needed to do something unusual, or more often I'd end up trying to cobble something together with the tools I had. I reviewed a "most useful flags" in grep page a few months back and decided to Ankify it. I am now an order of magnitude more proficient with grep because I can quickly recall the flag or option I need to provide to do something wonky with it when I need to, simply because I remember a relatively obscure feature, that I don't use often and would've forgotten otherwise.

Finally in conclusion

The 4 states that made up the Austro-Hungarian Empire were
Boznia-Herzgovania, Croatia-Slavonia, The Kingdom of Hungry and Cieslenthia. Because sometimes memorizing one or two random facts just makes life more interesting.

I imagined something totally different when you mentioned "a random drawing".

Perhaps they could submit 3 drawings, one of which would be randomly chosen.

All drawings would be displayed in a gallery, with a critic deciding which they like and which they dislike. A scribe would trail the critic with a notepad, writing down their critiques and informing the applicants why their drawing was declined or accepted.

True, though the process of establishing the trust and authenticity around digitally signed artifacts is not as widely established or disseminated as it is with print media.

Also, establishing what a signature means often requires out-of-band information. I really like the concept of annotations for a signature that would communicate the signer's relationship to the work: http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1545
Could also be interpreted to indicate a lack desire to even have the ability to spend beyond their means.
The carbon footprint of the major economies is shrinking, and given the technological development since the dawn of the industrial revolution, there is no reason for emerging economies to have the same emissions profile as they ramp up.
Heh, yeah, 240V/16A is 370 miles a day, 11,262 a month, or 135,050 a year. While that's quite a bit, it's a bit sobering to see that $0.025 per mile.

If you are at risk of physical harm. For example, working in a data center that’s not properly cooled.

If you are being coerced into doing something unethical or illegal, or something wrong that may follow you in your career.

If you are being verbally abused by a coworker, be it a manager or a subordinate.

Beyond that I’m not sure what else might cause you to feel “unsafe.” A tech company is one of the softest and least demanding jobs in all of human history.

One thing to note is that X1 points have fairly limited redemption options [1].

There are several cards that offer no annual fee + straight 2% cash back, like PayPal Mastercard, Citi Double Cash, Wells Fargo Active Cash, etc. Also, they tend to have better sign up bonuses ($100-$200) compared to just a few more points.

> A credit card isn't gonna make that big of an impact on the kinds of purchases you truly need credit for (land/housing).

Yes it will.

I know a few people who avoided credit cards well into their 20s. They ran into trouble with credit checks for renting apartments and buying cars. Imagine being nearly 30 years old with a good income and no debts, but needing to ask your parents to cosign on a car loan simply because you have no credit history of any kind. That does happen.
Single phase 240v, but I still fail to understand your point. You're saying that brushed electric motors are a fire risk in an environment with wood dust, and therefore dust extraction is a matter of industrial safety in a woodshop?

What is the allowable amount of wood dust in the air before it's a fire risk? If this is actually a risk, and dust extraction is far from perfect in an industrial setting, why aren't we requiring explosionproof motors and light switches, as you would if you're in an environment with this kind of airborne hazard? Sealed motors are allowable in class 2, expected actually, and I don't see wood dust on any class 2 listing of hazards. Or are you proposing that industrial dust collection is perfect, and wood dust isn't being ejected into the air when you've got a good industrial system?

This just strains credulity, I've designed the electrical systems for class 1 and 2 locations, and wood dust at worst would be class 3. I think you're talking out of your depth.

I think we should consider more than just electric cars as a solution to this problem. We need to rethink the way we travel in many car dependent countries.

Cars are the most in-efficient means of personal transportation. People should have multiple options for different needs.

For shorter trips: Buses, Trains, light rail, Trams(StreetCars), bikes, walking, and finally electric cars.

For long distance travel: slower overnight trains, intercity busses, high-speed rail, planes, and finally electric cars.

Giving people multiple choices of transport for each trip helps reduce the need for massive roads, parking lots, and traffic jams. This also reduces the urban heat island effect because we can have more green spaces.

I think cars, like all tools, are extremely useful, but we really need to think of more wholistic solutions than just electric cars so that it's actually a pleasant experience when someone does need to drive a car

My suggestion is to speak with those involved with health, human safety, and legal liabilities. Not a trivial question to answer because the definition of Safety, Harm, Trauma, and the specific conditions your questioning. Your HR is the primary point, or if you are at risk you can find your states employment rights department.
Not sure where you're getting this idea. I've never been on a VPN where services inside the VPN all just assumed I was allowed to be there. Internal services still at least required a username and password, and some would require 2FA as well.

I'm sure there are some VPNs that are implemented a poorly as you describe, but I'm not sure that's the common case like you seem to think.

What if your actions are also a byproduct of luck?

E.g. if one is born retarded or with another mental disability, that prevents them from the actions that increase the chances of luck occurrence. A less extreme example is a person born with dysthymia who possesses less of the mental energy required to put themselves out there to expand their fortune and become successful.

Conversely, if one is lucky enough to be born with high innate intelligence and drive, coupled with a good upbringing and role models, they will more likely engage in actions that bring about luck and success.

One might argue that in many cases, people are not beholden to their genetics/circumstances and can rise above them. A dysthymic person can put forth the effort to get the help they need. I might argue that even this is a byproduct of luck in that the person was lucky enough to not have an incurable form of depression and also was lucky to have access to the resources to overcome it.
What Is an Unconference?
> So the 9.1% inflation we just experienced did more for the environment than an 8% carbon tax?

It probably helped a little, temporarily, but it probably helped a lot less than a carbon tax.

Imagine if anything that runs on electricity was immune to the inflation. That's closer to what you'd get, though still very different in other ways.
