> on average this should be cleaner

I care more about explicitness than cleanliness though, especially if my effect touches 3+ state variables in a relatively large function.

I can definitely believe that the average case is better with signals, but is the average case even important? I don't really care about the average case with something like state management because all the libraries are pretty good for that. It's the edge cases and complex state logic I care more about.

Yeah useState, setState, prevState blah blah blah is a lot of overhead for the average case but I really like the explicitness it provides me in the not-so-average cases.

What do you mean by conditional dependencies?
Mass timber structural members actually perform quite well under fire conditions. It takes quite a lot to burn through a big lump of solid wood.
The problem with your theory is that there's actually no argument to it. It's just piggybacking on the utility of the internet to cast crypto in a more favorable light. It might be that crypto will take a long time to become useful, but saying "the internet took a long time to become useful" is not providing ANY evidence that crypto is like the internet.

Lots of things take a long time and never become useful. One thing (the internet) took a longish time to become really useful.
Label Our Beef: The American Beef Labeling Act
I would also suggest prql, which is also great. Plus:
- the license of prql is better (APACHE v2 vs GPL v2)
- although having modeling layer is good, but something like dbt-metrics maybe better. In this point, prql is more focus, on querying part.
That would be awesome. With Sheets, I often jump into AppScript to write a quick javascript function to do what I want instead of having to deal with weird syntax. I wish I could do the same in Python.

The purpose of these kinds of tools isn't to prevent cheating. Just like most DRM schemes, the purpose of these tools is the same as any other external consultant - so that the administration or people in charge of the school can offload the responsibilities related to any cheating that may happen to an external party, and if questioned, can respond that "reasonably secure technical measures have been taken to guarantee the integrity of the exam".

Whether the integrity of the exams is actually guaranteed is immaterial, because the company that made the nanny software went on the record and took responsibility, and/or by splitting the responsibility, the school admin and the nanny software vendor can point fingers at each other and the responsibility essentially disappears like it usually does.

You can see this with most other security theater type things. As long the "general public" is unaware that they have been lied to, they will accept this kind of positioning as gospel, and not look into it further. For the most part, as expected, the world turns around just fine without real security because systems tend to be robust to a certain level of bad actors doing selfish and small scale bad things like exam cheating, and as long as nobody's feelings are hurt, it's all fine.

The “American Beef Labeling Act” (S.2716 and H.R.7291 ) requires all beef, including imported beef, to be labeled as to where it was born, raised and harvested.

For them to elaborate on their claim of equivalency between PoS and PoW centralisation, given the exchange centralisation isn't actually an issue.

To me, it would seem that the ETH PoS centralisation of power (to the already wealthy) makes it less free than, for example, BTC. But I don't know, and I'd like to hear what they think. You too, if you'd like to offer your thoughts.
You can also breed them (though you can't breed mules without horses, etc). There is a cycle in this equation where you can breed replenishment donkeys once from a subset of them every year or so, and they go into productive use after about 2-3 years. Depending on the length of your campaign, you can extend your range by eating older donkeys as jerky and soup and breeding new ones. Setting out with a bunch of pregnant donkeys could also extend your range and campaign. Add goats (who can even ride donkeys) and you have a renewable source of protein via milk and cheeses.
Horse gestation is marginally shorter, but you can also milk them to feed troops, as mogolians did. I don't know if you can milk donkeys, and mules less likely given their sterility.

This is complex enough that it could become a game.
How would you determine an appropriate sample size?
I don't think the point is to protect against cheating - it's to protect the perception of legitimacy of institutions that are threatened by irrelevance.

There is another kind of tyranny equation - the steam locomotive going up an incline.

Essentially the problem is the power output of the engine is locked into step with the speed of the wheels - the slower you go, less pushes of the pistons, less power.

So as a steam train starts up an incline, it will start to decelerate, causing it to produce less power, causing it to slow even further and so on. A true vicious cycle.

This was one of many benefits of diesel-electric locomotives - the engine speed (hence power) was decoupled from the train speed.

Yes, but this is what happens when science and politics occupy the same bed, as they did for COVID. Politics is what made certain answers unacceptable.
That's an example with lots of model definitions inline. The idea is that you would define various components separately so they can be reused (and to your point, broken down and debugged separately). Malloy brings the modularization and reusability that is missing from SQL itself.

The US is (exaggerating a bit) a nation of obese, sedentary substance abusers. We are sicker on average than other developed countries and thus have a higher demand for healthcare.

We might be able to eke out some minor improvements by tweaking the payment model and eliminating some waste. Those things are worth doing, but they won't fix the fundamental problem. The US won't get healthcare spending down to Japan's levels until Americans start acting like Japanese.

There are some other key factors as well. A large fraction of healthcare spending goes toward treating elderly patients with serious chronic conditions in their last few years of life. Some countries explicitly deny care to such patients because they don't think it's justified on a QALY basis, but Americans seem uncomfortable with rationing on that basis.

And some aspects of the US healthcare system are top notch. For many types of cancers we have the world's best 5-year survival rates. There is a thriving medical tourism business where patients from countries with socialized medicine such as Canada come here to receive rapid treatment instead of waiting for years for something like a hip replacement.
My previous boss (in a engineering/construction company) has been working hard to get ahead of the procedural generation game.

If all engineering is, is altering CAD models to conform to local government regulations, then conceptually surely we can procedurally generate a whole fucking city, adding in sewers and power and other infrastructure as it goes.

The reality is much closer to how stable diffusion and other AI-generated art is now - technically and creatively impressive but often nonsensical and broken.
Well that's pretty conclusive. Thanks for the video, I'll have to take a look and see what's wrong.

Okay, but in this case there is no where else for KF to turn to.

That may be plausible in some limited cases (iOS) but on most platforms opening an untrusted native app is much more risky than opening an untrusted website. For example, a native app has access to the file system, which is all that is necessary to enable ransomware attacks.

The problem is that states are like accidents of history and are fairly arbitrary.

You need this with lots of stuff. “Vice” states are adjacent to more prudish states. Think New Hampshire, Delaware, Pennsylvania, South Carolina.

In the case of healthcare, states tend to push costs to somewhere else. As in send the sick person to NYC.

>> BoysToys.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), was
incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 21, 1997 under the name Wagg
Corp.

In January 1998 the Company changed its name to Alternative Entertainment,

Inc. (the same name of a Nevada corporation (identified below as "AEI-Nevada")
previously established for the operation of the Company's business) and in
December 1998 the Company's name was changed to BoysToys.com, Inc.

THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS
The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, RMA of San Francisco,
Inc., a California corporation ("RMA") owns and operates an upscale gentlemen's
club in San Francisco, California (the "Club") under the name, "Boys Toys
Club." The Company originally intended to operate the Club through Boys Toys
Cabaret Restaurants, Inc., a California corporation ("BTC Restaurants") that is
currently a dormant corporation with no operations or assets. All assets and
operations of BTC Restaurants have been assigned to RMA.

The Company has the following subsidiaries: RMA, BTC Restaurants, and

Alternative Entertainment, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("AEI-Nevada") of which
only RMA has any assets or operations.

INTERNET-RELATED MATTERS
While the Company's name includes the ".com" moniker, this reflected the
Company's original intention to pursue business activities involving the use of
the internet. Currently, the Company has not had sufficient financial or
managerial resources to pursue or develop any significant internet related
business: (i) the Company has two internet Web Sites for the Company's public
and investor relations (namely, Boystoys.com and Boystoysir.com, respectively)
(the "Corporate Web Sites") and (ii) six sites that opened in October 1999 and
which have remained in development only.

Why would anyone use Preact? If I'm a team lead, why would I choose to use it over plain React? Would not my sense of risk be triggered at least a little?

I've talked to many React engineers and none of them have a good reason to use a library like Preact.

Once again, the author is content to reinvent the wheel unnecessarily and publish it as something that can/should be used in production. It's a useful toy, a nice exercise in "what can be done" but not much else. Yes, I'm aware of the countless "useless" things that get posted to HN all the time - none of them purport themselves to being anything more than what they are.

I have never met anyone with any sense using Preact, and I see no compelling reason to use Signals either when there are countless other libraries doing similar things, with developers that actually use them.
I listened to Armstrong on Lex Fridman lately. He was originally trying to simply build a bitcoin storage website (a ‘bitbank’). Then he added a buy button and people started using it, but even this did not initially require creating an order book / full exchange. It was a proper pivot by the sound of it.
We have a very recent example that proves this point.
> Is this even feasible?

No.

A heat pump moves heat from one pool to another and adds whatever input energy required to move the heat to the whole system.

When you have two pools at different temperatures you can harvest energy from that difference but only as much as is there because harvesting the energy involves bringing the two pools closer in temperature.

There is nothing you can do to cheat this, whatever you do will bring the two pools closer together. If you bring in outside energy you will always be able to harvest less than you brought in.

> Except forest fires do not produce CO2. They release carbon that has been temporarily stored in trees and is part of the carbon cycle.

I hope you are kidding.

The planet has had multiple cycles of atmospheric CO2 increases and decreases over millions of years. We have very accurate data to cover 800,000 years, where the range was between, roughly, 200 and 300 ppm.

The question is:

How did CO2 increase when humanity was pretty much insignificant and not burning fossil fuels? How did that happen?

The answer is simple: Massive, continental scale forest fires. Without modern fire fighting and mitigation technologies these fires burned for very long periods of time and razed areas the size of entire modern cities.

The average 100 ppm increase took about 100K years. Nothing other than fires could cause this change. Fires over a very long period of time.

The other question is:

How did atmospheric CO2 concentration decrease?

After all, we were not around to "save the planet" with technology.

Also simple: Rain, hurricanes, cyclones, weather and vegetation regrowth over 100K years. That's how long it took the natural planetary engine to react to a 100 ppm change in atmospheric CO2 and revert it.

Next question:

How did humans add another 100 ppm+ in such a short period of time?

Because we burned more forests faster than nature could have ever done on its own. Except we did this by burning oil, petroleum. One way to look at petroleum is that it is a highly concentrated form of plant and other biomass materials turned into goo we can easily burn. And so, by burning it, we engaged in the equivalent of burning entire forests on a daily, monthly or annual basis for the last several hundred years. As population grew, the more we burned. And here we are.

Forest fires absolutely produce CO2. That has been the cased for millions of years. If it makes your more comfortable to say they release CO2, so be it. That's fine. The net effect is the same: CO2 accumulates in the atmosphere and contributes to global warming. Same thing cars do.

The greater point is a dark one, and one most people are not ready to accept: There isn't a thing we can do about it. It's a planetary-scale problem that will take in the order of tens of thousands of years to affect. We can't do it.

EDIT:

One more question we should ask:

How many trees (or plants) went into creating one unit of petroleum?
