I fell in love with that framework back in the 00s so much that I bought the book, but pragmatically unless the domain expert is willing to write the tests, or specify requirements, it's a non-starter. I also think that Cucumber and its derivatives are the modern version of Fitnesse, but suffer from the same "requirements aren't Agile" problem for sure

Also, it took an inordinate number of clicks to find the modern source code, which has an unusual license: https://github.com/unclebob/fitnesse/blob/master/LICENSE.txt ("Common Public License Version 1.0"); a cursory search seems to imply it's the precursor to the Eclipse Public License, but I still can't recall the last time I saw CPL in use

That's kind of the flipside of what OP is describing. OP is saying if it's colder outside than inside, and you want it to be colder inside, the unit would intelligently just pull in unprocessed (except filtering) outside air.

An HRV or ERV is designed to pull in fresh air without losing heat from inside (or while keeping the heat outside in the summer), by transferring heat between the air being drawn in and that being exhausted.

Price? Yes, in that costs are up and demand is so high they struggle to fill it. There's pressure to raise prices. The price for a basic drip coffee is up 20% over last year according to https://thekrazycouponlady.com/tips/money/starbucks-prices
I don't think you understand what I was saying "fine" too.

Generative art has existed for a long time. The 1960s.

If we don't want to give stable diffusion the art label, maybe we need to stop giving out Oscars for Pixar?

Is performance art art? What about artists shit in a can? or Marcel Duchamp's found objects? Or Andy Worhol's factory? Does anyone really engage with a 15 hour movie of "the kiss"

I really struggle with half a shark in a tank of formalin.

Stable Diffusion works on human prompts. If you hook it up to prompt engines which have no human component, you might be onto saying "its not art"

The extent of the re-use of other artists work is a real question. "Bittersweet Symphony" is in the corridor, tapping its toes.
This is not about the SF-based employees, this is about the roles the company has chosen to source in lower-cost regions. For whatever reason, they've decided that they are getting a lot of value out of local resources in SF, and some of that will be about being American, some of it about responsibility, some of it about liability and local laws that they can hold the employee to. When it comes to those roles they've based overseas, they've done for the sole reason of cheaper labor. If you stop being that cheap labor, they'll just hire someone else who is. If there is no cheap labor, then they'll hire a local in SF instead. It's really that simple, and I agree it's not fair - life isn't fair.

>I’m wondering if it’s simply the case that those that are vegan/vegetarian are more likely to be conscious about their diet and what they put into their bodies.

Being a vegetarian myself, I'd say most are. But as with so many things, there are always a few people who have to crank their righteousness to 13.

I don't artificial meat because they're not the healthiest choice. Too much processing going on there. I do make my own my own vegetarian burgers, though. At least I know what's going into them.

One thing to remember is that when the air outside is already warmer than the air you want to heat or cooler than the air you want to cool, this will significantly increase the efficiency of the heat pump in achieving that temperature. I would guess to the point where it's not worth complicating the system in this way. (Especially since it will be a relatively rare compared to the reverse situation.)
From the transcription:

> Now, as I said, there’s no reason to think that five G is harmful. Indeed, there’s good reason to think it’s not [harmful], because millimeter waves have been used in medicine for a long time and for all we know they only enter the upper skin layers.

Are you afraid of red leds?

Each photons of a red les has like 1000x the energy of a photon of 5G. Most of the damage is caused by the energy of each photon, so red photons are more dangerous.

Also, a red led against your skin has more power than a 5G antena far away. You can get hurt when there are really a lot of photons, but both have very low power to be dangerous.

And a normal light lamp has even more power and higher energy photons, and they are safe.

And sunlight has even more power and higher energy photons, and it's safe if you filter UV-B rays that are the ones with more energy.

My Bolt is coming to the end of the lease soon. We're dropping back to a single ICE vehicle because we don't drive that much. I considered:

- keep the Bolt and buy it for $24k + tax. Car is barely worth that and the subsidized chargers I've been using at work are starting to fill up, causing hassles. Current CA grid insufficiency is also not encouraging.

- get a new BEV or PHEV. I don't drive enough to make either of these make economic sense. I can pick up a newer, pre-owned ICE vehicle and save a ton over non-ICE and never spend anywhere close to the difference on gas.

EV drivetrains are fun and I love them but I can't justify the luxury at this point.
This is at the same time creepy, fascinating, and all together really really interesting.
¿Porque no los dos?

I could see a mandate to, say, include barcodes in every X units of net or line (say one every 10m of linear line, or every 100m^2 of net. These could be inspected, and where intact flotsam or jetsam is recovered, identified as to manufacturer, lot, or registered user.

Taggants would be used for smaller debris.

In either case, the larger hurdle is all but certainly maritime law and regulation, which is notoriously thorny, inconsistent, and tends strongly to Gresham's Law race-to-the-bottom dynamics.

I'm generally anti-carbon tax because it's the solution to the problem that is obvious, simple, and wrong. But when there are no other solutions, charging for cleanup is the way to go.

Farmers and miners pay for their costs. They can continue to do so and pass their costs on. Some farmers, at least in the US, we massively subsidize to a ridiculous extent in a make-work program for massive amounts of soy and corn. But this is an economic choice that is relatively recent in the history of the US, and we can decide at any moment to improve the efficiency of the economy by making externalized costs internal.

It's not "art" in the strictest sense of a human expressing some component of the human experience through painting, sculpture, music performance, etc. But the AI can seemingly still produce a beautiful painting that evokes many of the same emotions in the audience's mind. So I don't know.

I do agree with the framing of the ethics question. I don't have anything much original but this comment said it well, https://bakztfuture.substack.com/p/statement-on-stable-diffu..., the AI work is highly dependent on a huge base of preexisting work, and it is at the very least important to keep this in mind.
A great resource is from the Bank of England (UK central bank) themselves: https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/quarterly-bulletin/2014/q1/m... (click through to the main PDF).

Key quote:

> "Money creation in practice differs from some popular misconceptions — banks do not act simply as intermediaries, lending out deposits that savers place with them, and nor do they ‘multiply up’ central bank money to create new loans and deposits."

Here's a rundown of what it means by economist Steve Keen who specialises in this kind of stuff: https://www.quora.com/What-is-fractional-reserve-lending/ans...

As Keen explains from accounting first principles, fractional reserve could work if banks gave out loans in cash, but not how modern banks work today.

What I'm referring to about capital is formalised in the Basel III regulations - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basel_III - since we've established that banks don't lend out of deposits, they actually have to cover any delinquent loans from their tier-1 capital (shareholder's equity) - that's what they're leveraging when they lend, not deposits. I can attest to this myself - I've never heard of any bank saying "oh sorry, we couldn't make any more loans because we needed to wait for some more people to make deposits", but as a bank shareholder I have more than once had a letter saying "we need to raise more capital through a new share offering tranche or else our lending projections show we may not be able to meet our capital adequacy ratios" (especially around the time when things were transitioning from Basel II to Basel III because the ratios increased).
This was the first thing in Google so caveat emptor: https://www.templafy.com/blog/how-many-emails-are-sent-every....

Now for the quote:

"Globally, as of 2019, a staggering 293. 6 billion emails were sent each day and there are currently now over 4 billion email users worldwide."

If we suppose that 95% of that traffic is SPAM, 14,650,000,000 or 14 Billion legitimate emails are sent around the world every day on a planet with 8 billion people and not sure how many of those are connected to email.

Even at 14 billion, email is staggeringly successful, this is why FAANG wants us small time operators who do this as a hobby, for free for ourselves and family ... out of their pool.
Its so hilarious when people think everything Tesla does is some 4D chess about stock price, when in reality Musk really doesn't care about stock price at all. He literally thinks multiple years ahead, and doesn't change that strategy because some short term head winds.

> two incredibly resource-intense and error-prone processes in the same company (Automotive, Semiconductor).

If you think making these chips is excessive, you don't know Tesla. Tesla is the most vertically integrated car company in the world (maybe BYD compares).

Compared to literally designing not only their own batteries cells, but their own battery chemistries plus their own battery materials process AND their own fully up battery manufacturing factories. They started doing this a decade ago and only this year the first cars rolled of the line and being sold to costumers. That is years and years of investment, planning and internal capacity building.

In 2017 people were laughing at them for attempting to do all their own manufactriong. Now they have industry dominating automotive margin. They literally have their own materials team that makes their own aluminum for casting and have co-developed production machines that are the size of a whole house. This is now slowly being copied by other manufactures.

They also make their own glass, seats and a whole host of other things that most car companies don't make. Doing these things in-house cost billions and billions in capx.

Also, Dojo is not the only chip they make, they have other chips that are already being sold in their cars by the millions every year. Dojo is a pittance of investment compared to that and a fraction of the total investment into the overall self-driving stack. Just because you don't agree with the overall strategy (assuming from your comment) doesn't mean that they many, many billions Tesla spends isn't real, or its all some sort of stock price play.

So, if you think Dojo is about stock price, I don't know what to tell you, its just wrong.
How I wish spam was handled:

1. Any email that isn't signed with DKIM is blocked (having a signature specific to the source email address would be better, but that is probably too much to ask for)

2. If the sender isn't in your contact list, block it, or at least mark it as spam.

3. Have an easy way to add new entries to you contact list, maybe a new url scheme similar to mailto:? So that it reduces the friction of say getting a confirmation email when signing up for something, or making sure you get emails from a new acquaintance. It would probably be good to have a way to add a full domain to the allowlist as well.

But that would make selling/sharing email addresses a lot less valuable, so there might be some resistance to that from marketing and adtech.
To be fair, that's not the most provocative thing in the article, so it's okay.

> I don’t feel as strongly about separated bike infrastructure, mainly because my experience with it is that it’s more dangerous than riding in auto lanes, and that it creates an illusion of separation that both heightens that danger and heightens the dangerous attitudes of drivers trying to navigate it.

That's why I specifically said "dedicated infrastructure", painted bicycle gutters are NOT proper bicycle infrastructure either. Bicycles should be at grade with pedestrians, but on dedicated cycling pathways so there's no conflict between the medium-speed traffic from bikes and the low-speed pedestrian traffic (even though they may often run parallel with each other).

Ultimately I call it "bike infrastructure", but really it's better to think about it this way - we have three different speed classes that need dedicated rights of way to make sure everyone is safe.

High speed / automobiles - It's not just cars and trucks, motorcycles and high end electric scooters belong here as well (I don't share space with bikes when I'm going 40MPH on my eScooter, it's unsafe for cyclists and dangerous for me as well - so I take normal travel lanes because I'm going the speed of traffic anyway).

Medium speed / bikes / eBikes / lower end electric scooters / EUCs / etc - Things that have a top speed of 20-30MPH generally speaking. Doesn't need wide lanes, and ideally should have more direct routes with fewer stops to conserve momentum.

Low speed / pedestrians / mobility scooters / etc - Obvious, you're going 5-6MPH max here even if you're out taking a run.

> If you want solutions, your recourse is either collective action/unionization or finding a new job.

You really think they won’t just stop hiring people from that country if they “took action”? Or if they could get another job at a higher rate they wouldn’t?

My take on the subject is they are providing the OP with an opportunity which they otherwise wouldn’t have due to the current job market in their country in exchange for a rate of pay that is relative to said job market.

Maybe it sucks, maybe it’s unfair (it isn’t) but it is preferable to the alternative which is to not have a good paying job.
They're by all accounts currently building out the factory to start (slowly) making cars towards the end of the year. It remains to be seen what quality the car will actually be, given the design constraints it's under and all the problems that come with a first-time carmaker, but it's probably not just vaporware.

The WFH Folks
Have you all noticed a lack of social connection ever since work from home took off? Don't get me wrong, I love working from home. But when starting at a new company, it is hard to get to know your co-workers and fit into the company.

There are tons of studies showing how social connection was a driver for better morale and performance (since new people settled in faster).

Would the ideal situation be where we can be WFH and still create the meaningful social connections with our co-workers?

We are working on something like that. But wanted to see if others felt the same issue.
> Additionally, the lack of virtual memory and multi-tasking support renders it pretty much impossible to divide up compute between multiple customers. So, commercialising this would require customers renting out the whole unit, which is contrary to how cloud computing usually works.

Only if you want to subdivide the compute on each dojo chip. You can still provide multi-tenant, support by allocating entire dojo chips to a single customer at a time. Even traditional time division multi-tasking is possible as long as you’re happy to accept multi-second long time slices. Then the overhead of clearing an entire dojo chip (or batch of chips), and setting up a new application, isn’t too high.

If you’re doing AI workloads, then none of the above are an issue. Training a large net takes days to weeks of continuous, single task computation. So selling dojo access in whole 1 hour blocks is a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

> It also didn't make sense that Japan talked about hydorgen in terms of energy independence. But they did.

In a world where net energy is as easy as throwing up a solar panel, energy reserves are energy independence. Nuclear doesn't help here at all because Japan is not allowed to make fuel. Nuclear is dependence on one of the handful of countries who are. Also it doesn't solve portability at all -- my money is on something like sodium ion, but a cheap compact hydrogen canister solves the problem too if it doesn't use exotic materials.

> If you actually invested in enough nuclear and build modern plants that can load follow way better then this isn't big problem.

> It would only make sense if building storage over added capacity was way, way cheaper, and I not sure it actually is once you are pumping out lots of nuclear.

Nuclear capacity is the most expensive thing you can build. Building it to not use it is even stupider than building it to use it. Cheap long term storage is the only thing keeping niches that aren't solar + wind from disappearing entirely -- even with fossil fuels and nuclear being massively subsidized. Renewables are at the point now where building a heat exchanger and steam turbine is a commensurable cost even if the input heat came from fairy farts. This is why fossil fuel plants that don't have a primary turbine need subsidies to stay alive even if they were to get fuel for free.

> In addition modern nuclear plants can be air cooled and should be way less sensitive.

So making the thing that is limited by being too expensive and unable to run in hot weather more expensive and less efficient in hot weather is a step up?

The only real existential threat TikTok faces (in the US) is the US government. I think as we get closer and closer to war (either cold or hot) with the Chinese that services like alibaba and tiktok won't stand up to scrutiny and be blanket banned. It's pretty clear that the CCP wholly controls them and is hoovering up the data on American citizens. I think the only reason it's on the back burner right now is all the Trump stuff stealing the headlines.

Dear desert sun,

It's your old neighbor the Midwest. Haven't seen you for a while. Not since you moved out to the sunny desert. Made fun of us for our high taxes and our unions and our dying manufacturing. Har har.

Anyway, how's retirement going? Taken in a lot of Ted talks? Good. For. You. Anyway, enough small talk. We got your letter asking for a favor and here's our reply:

We warned you decades ago not to build large population centers in an arid desert. We warned you to shepherd your meager water resources carefully. To landscape with something other than green lawns. To not build suburbs full of private pools and sprawling, car-dependent development. To not grow alfalfa and other water intensive crops.

You ignored us and you prospered. Until now when you hit the brick wall we told you was coming. We even told you when it was coming. You have been greedy and you have been arrogant. And so we quietly protected our water with laws. As one does from fools.

If you want us to share it, we are happy to. All you have to do is move here. I took the liberty of pricing some flights. Turns out it's a lot easier to ship you here than to ship water to you. I know it's gonna be rough starting over after losing all the equity in your house. Hope you see the humor in so many mortgages underwater as the result of a drought. It's important to laugh in tough times.

I bet you are ready for some good news? There are tons of jobs available here. Turns out all the businesses you created when you disrupted Midwest industry & Midwest labor are hiring. You can work at an Amazon warehouse. Or drive a car for Uber. Have your tips stolen by Instacart. The opportunities are as endless as the medical debt you'll be in should you ever become sick.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing you at a cookout real soon. Hope you remember how to make potato salad. Or figure out how to make desalinization work on a massive scale. 'Cause no moving back if you don't bring potato salad. The spicy kind with the miracle whip please.

Sincerely,
The Great Lakes basin and Missouri / Mississipi watershed.
