I have the Niro EV, and it was my first EV. The paddle shifters are amazing, and you get used to them very quickly. I recently rented another EV and I was surprised it wasn't there.

Most of the time I can drive without even touching the brake pedal, since you can hold the left paddle and it will engage maximum engine braking, which it quite powerful. This helps with battery as well since there is less energy loss when braking.
There's no one answer to this, but I'd say that anything past 10k vectors would benefit greatly from a vector database. A vector DB will abstract away the building of a vector index along with other core database features such as caching, failover, replication, horizontal scaling, etc. Milvus (https://milvus.io) is open-source and always my go-to choice for this (disclaimer: I'm a part of the Milvus community). An added bonus of Milvus is that it supports GPU-accelerated indexing and search in addition to batched queries and inserts.

All of this assumes you're okay with a bit of imprecision - vector search with modern indexes is inherently probabilistic, e.g. your recall may not be 100%, but it will be close. Using a flat indexing strategy is still an option, but you lose a lot of the speedup that comes with a vector database.
Somewhat surprisingly, in the UK Autotrader lists 230k manual cars and 195k automatics

So the fraction of manual-transmission cars in the UK is much lower than I would have expected.
Lenovo P620, it’s the workstation every big company seems to be using these days. Yes, 32C/64T Threadripper with 128gb of RAM.
Tidal does seem to have some integrations (at least roon and volumio)

MQA is largely snake oil; they do have some nice sounding masters though.

Apple Music now has hires audio also. I’m yet to decide between the two. Apple Music is edging Tidal out for me due to the quality of their curated playlists
> The truth is reducing CO2 emissions is an emergency

Almost nobody among claiming that treats it seriously.

Prominent celebrities claiming that travel by plane.

Greenpeace continues to oppose nuclear power.

Solar power gets blocked because some endemic species or pretty views are threatened.

Noone supports killing air travel.

---------------------------

Almost nobody among "CO2 is emergency" is actually willing to sacrifice own benefits or other priorities. At most they demand sacrifice from others.

I am not going to treat plane-travelling celebrities declaring climate emergency that threatens survival of humanity. The same goes for eco-organizations not willing to support deregulation of nuclear power.
DuckDB 0.5.0: Larger than RAM Joins, Persistent Indexes, More Speed
DuckDB 0.5.0 "Pulchellus" released with persistent indexes, out-of-core hash join, new join order optimizer, and many other improvements!
I don't think the average user really knows the difference. They just think that Reply-All is the only behaviour and even if presented with a choice they would likely still choose to get their message to more people so that they can be removed from the list (surely that will work)
This is highly symbolic but looking at the numbers (a 1.4 billion people country overtaking a 70 million people country) it highlights the still long road ahead for India.

Ultimately, India and China should vie for the top spot.
This is already widespread. You can buy a electric crate engine from Ford for about $4000. That is, when they are not sold out.
The Kardashev Scale – measuring human progress based on energy consumption
Yeah, I think the whole thing about being modelled on Britain is deeply flawed - be like Britain, have a relatively small population in a temperate climate with lots of coast line for off-shore wind and tidal energy, and off-shore all your heavy manufacturing processes.

Who is going to tell Floridians they need to be like Britain and turn off their AC?
But only around 30% of the refined fuel’s energy transfers into useful work done with the ICE vehicle.

If the BEV is running with their 2kw heating turned up full blast in addition to running down the road, and there was a heat loss of around 2-5% while charging the car then We’re still at around 3x more efficient in the BEV vs the ICE.

Then there’s the electricity supply which ranges from 0 refinement loss and 50% thermal efficiency (natural gas fired power plant) to NaN% for nuclear, wind and solar.

A BEV charging right this minute in the UK is consuming energy originating from 25% gas, 25% nuclear, 25% wind, 5% solar (its 6:30pm).

It could be more than 5x when you compare with ICE fuel supply / refinement / storage / delivery.

Actually, Piketty doesn't concede this point and makes the extremely important distinction between aggregate wealth and wealth distribution. What Rognlie does point out is the incredible importance of real estate in the growth of capital income - far more than Piketty originally credited it with in Capital in the Twenty-First Century. As Piketty points out in the interview, an explanation based around real estate literally cannot explain the growth in wealth share of the top 1% or top 0.1% or top 0.01%, because the wealthier you are, the smaller a percentage of your wealth consists of real estate. Which then naturally leads to the conclusion that Georgism/land value taxes are an insufficient tool for combating extreme inequality.

Also, non sequitur: while I enjoyed A Brief History of Equality, I feel that it tried to stuff too much historical detail into so short a work - it reads a bit like a condensed version of Capital and Ideology. I found the most enlightening parts of Piketty's previous works involved the tracing of political and economic minutiae across time and space, and I'm not sure I would have actually enjoyed A Brief History of Equality if I didn't already have that background.
https://github.com/xou816/spot still works for me.

I use that on my Pinephone to play music.

If/when that stops, to continue playing music on my Pinephone will require migrating to a self-managed collection. Disappointing but doable.

Can anyone recommend DRM free music providers?
(As someone who doesn't agree with the article's conclusions), someone living in poverty does not have the resources to address intellectual and emotional poverty. If you can't afford to own or run a refrigerator, do you really have the time to (for example) tutor your kids outside of school hours, see a therapist, spend time relaxing on the weekends and in the evenings? No. You're probably working three jobs.
All of that barely matters to me. Where's the transparent parallelization? 2022 is going to be over soon, no language has any excuse to lack an easy way to do message passing and automatic thread pool management like Erlang and Rust's `tokio` do.

Re: the "lucky" remark: they certainly tried! Remember AppleTalk and HyperCard?
Slightly cursed is how I roll. I would like to know where the trick first originated from though (I found it at https://github.com/yvt/amx-rs/blob/main/src/nativeops.rs#L22 rather than inventing it de novo)
Yes, I know that wasn't a lie, just a very corny joke.

Did we ever get anything more substantive about Tesla Bot though?
True but it's also really cheap to get/keep your music on there if you want. Distrokid is $20/year, CDBaby is $5 one-time per track/album, and if you just want Spotify specifically you can do it through Amuse for free (with slow release times and # of track limitations), or onerpm if you're willing to give away a % of the royalties.

They could still at the very least send a notification email back when the deferred analysis rejects the message. Email is multi-hop anyway in the general case.
They should consider building their own DDOS protection. I've heard thats pretty simple and something website owners should be expected to do on their own. After all, it's not like most website owners rally behind like one or two giant services to mitigate the issue of DDOS against their sites.

I for one never voted to have CF and DDoS-Guard as censors of the internet.
It's a problem because so many Americans are unhealthy and more easily succumb to environmental conditions. It doesn't help that these same people flock to areas where they're more vulnerable.

There's lots of bad reporting on the increase in heat related deaths since the 1950s which glosses over the fact that few people were fat back then and air conditioning was exceedingly rare. A fraction of the people were living in the hottest areas of the US and those that were could handle it.
This is likely just a policy from your hr department on employees (or contractors).

You could work around it by starting your own company, have your employer contract with your new company for a given period or piece of work, and pay yourself from there. It moves some of the regulatory work from them to you, but allows you to charge market rates.
So what do the companies with Exchange and Lotus do today? Do they still host their email-servers themselves, or already gave up and moved to big-providers? I can hardly imagine companies will leave their emails on Google or Microsoft for them to scan and abuse. But I'm so many years out of corporate environment.
You're not wrong. But if Spotify doesn't want to allow developers to be lab rats for wild and whacky ideas that are too risky for them to try themselves but could eventually either become or reveal the next big thing, they're leaving themselves wide open to major disruption.
Renewables are cheaper than nuclear mostly because of large state grants and tax reductions. Ultimately, if you want to handle all of your load with only renewables, you're going to need to build about 3x what's needed, just to account for wind turbines not running, sun not shining, etc, and you're going to need to replace most of it in 15 years, with rare earth materials that will start costing a lot of money. Needless to say, it's a waste, and the solution that most competent people agree on is to have a nuclear/renewables mix. Nuclear is necessary to provide a massive, stable base load. Renewables provide people some temporary independence and the overproduction could be sold. But, go for too many renewables, and suddenly you're back to burning gas at night to keep producing.
I see your point, however, I've seen a lot of local renovation projects for energy efficiency and my conclusion is that while they should be done (because they're cost effective), that is the slow, long-term solution since that effectively requires reconstructing much of the housing stock, which is going to take decades - so that's not a plausible solution for any short term problems, filling the energy gap with more generation is faster.

I think our shared point there is that all these things require years of infrastructure buildup - there is some blame on why earlier it hasn't been done as much as it could be (while it definitely has been done a lot over the last decade!), and a good argument that it must be increased.

But as soon as we're talking about "energy right now" (let's be generous and say within a year or two) then we need rapid solutions, and "becoming energy efficient" is not one of these, that's for a 5-10 year scale even if we're optimistic.

A second point is that effective heating and insulation is a big factor for the relatively northern parts of first world, however, it's not really relevant for the huge "energy poverty" of the third world, where most of the population is in warmer climates. For them, avoiding energy waste is not sufficient, they simply need more energy (much of it "embedded" in consumer goods that they would like to get) to go beyond their current standard of living, which they rightfully consider insufficient.

That source is primarily examining conventional feedlot approaches.

> An all grass cow-calf – to – finish operation was included as a minor component in the eastern and northwestern regions

They examined a single all grass finished operation. There are studies that have found grass finishing can cut emissions in cattle by as much as 80%.

> The modeled operations were not intended to be actual operations; they were developed to represent the practices found in each region.

> Environmental footprints for all individually simulated ranch and feedlot operations were integrated into full production systems within their respective study regions using two methods

They also don't appear to be measuring actual operations, but rather modeling operations based on surveys of farmers and ranchers about the characteristics of their operations and then extrapolating from there.

Models have their place for sure, but I wouldn't make any kind of declaration of certainty based on a single model-based study. You have to average the outputs of hundreds or thousands of models, and even then, you can't be sure you have the answer.

A better approach would be one that measures the actual output of each operation at various phases and averages across them. Difficult to do, but I've seen studies that attempted it.
Pfft, have you tried accessing any standard here? (ASME, IEEE, etc.)

That perverse pleasure must be masochism.
I’m using banks denying a loan to a high-crime neighborhood address as an analogy to explain why it’s also bad to deny hosting or service based on the domain name alone. It’s basically the Scunthorpe problem.

I agree with this 100%. As other commenters have pointed out, there is a difference between getting work done and actually building relationships. It's very possible to get high quality work done remotely, but relationship-wise, it's very transactional in nature for most people.

So far, I've been involved with several teammates and building meaningful relationships remotely has been impossible for one reason or another. It's always just a quick chat about the weather and maybe something interesting that happened to someone that week, but that's it. At best, it's just a shallow form of camaderie.

I do believe that good relationships can be built remotely, but it's not trivial to do. At my workplace, there was never a meaningful cultural shift towards remote work after COVID hit.

But hey, a bit of loneliness is better than being stuck in traffic for 2 hours a day right?
Okay, highly advantageous for body temperature and medicine, only marginally advantageous for cooking.
Some additional thoughts:

What engineering processes are you using?

How will you implement these processes successfully in the organization?

How will you ensure that the organization is working effectively?

What tools and resources will you provide?

What training requirements and or regimen will you implement?

What are the coding standards? Where do these come from and why?

Good luck.
If I write some ugly code to get prod back online ASAP, did I immediately become a bad person? Or do I only become a bad person after some number of weeks passes and I haven't refactored it to clean it up yet?
I also went carnivore for a few months. Second week sucked because my gut bacteria offed themselves and new ones took a week to develop. Then I could digest food properly again. Eating high quality meet and using different spices made it exciting enough for me. I’ve since added some salad and nuts back into the diet
It's harm in a similar way that racist depictions appearing in fiction—and even the lack of positive depictions of marginalized groups appearing in fiction—is harm.
Do you support sites like Kiwifarms that try and attack the freedoms of others?
The Kia Niro is available in three models: Petrol, Hybrid and EV. Now, I have the EV and it doesn't have any gears, but I'm pretty sure there is a lot of things shared between these cars.
This article is exceptional. It may be reductive or even wrong but at least it's trying to quantify these issues and it uses actual data. Not only does this allow for analysis, it also makes it, in theory, falsifiable.

If the article is right and all it takes is around a doubling of the current global energy, at 1.1% population growth and a global annual increase in energy usage of 2.5%, this gives around 50 years before we start producing enough energy to push poverty levels below 1%.
Tidal will sooner or later cut plex out too...
> The problem comes when anti-development groups impose policies to prevent any building from casting a shadow on anything

OK. But how it makes

> rooftop solar and urban gardening (or "farming" if you must). Both are ecological catastrophe

claim true?
They have learned and forgotten due to western influence. During heat waves, cross ventilating wind allows for cooler temperatures indoor. Building architectures in a lot of middle east is designed for cross ventilation. Newer modern buildings appear to have forgotten this ancient technology though.
And rhetoric like your last paragraph is just going to produce backlash and make the problem worse.

"The rules are fine", and net zero "has" to happen". So in your mind there's no room for argument and the objective is sacred. So how many guns are you willing to put to peoples' heads to get them to change their diets? To get them to stop flying? Driving in particular is required for many peoples' livelihoods, particularly those on the lower end of the socioeconomic spectrum.

IMO, the truly "hard" part of getting to net zero is getting people like you to realize you're not going to force your proposed solutions onto the rest of the world. You're going to have to team up with people you don't like. You know why Texas, the oil/petrochemical capital of the US, has so much wind power? It isn't because an army of environmentalists descended on the state house shouting slogans and waving signs, it isn't to save the environment, it isn't to stop climate change. It's because wind energy is cheap in Texas, something that appeals to even the most coal-rolling, roundup-spraying, green-lawn-in-the-desert Texan.

If you want to save the environment, drop the moralizing and meet people where they are. Until that happens environmentalism is just going to produce backlash, that allow the environmental movements feel even more superior and do things to produce even more backlash, until the price of meat, power, transportation and housing goes up so much that you get a backlash that undoes any short-term progress that was made.
The suggestion isn't to turn them on continuously (as this would also wear the motor) but in situations that are similar to that of when showering (high humidity or temperature)
I'm surprised that was possible in the first place. How were there no clients that implemented Spotify then? I'd have loved to use something less shitty than the Spotify player, both on Linux where they keep breaking things that used to work and on Android where offline mode is a joke.

The only third party Spotify player apps I saw were remote controls that just talked to a connected "device" (potentially on localhost).
They do make cloth reusables
We're given a lot of warning with hurricanes. The biggest hurdle with evacuation is that a lot of people don't have the means. Either a lack of transportation or lack of funds to secure shelter.

Yes, that's why I said there are different types of floods. I explicitly acknowledged that floods come in several varieties. Pakistan is notable for a lot of reasons. It's also notable because even for a flood, it is out of the ordinary.

You tried to pick edge cases to try and say the typical doesn't apply. It still does. The issue is that the typical heatwave is different from the typical variety of other disasters.
Are eggs healthy this year? I lost track...
Congratulations on your success. What was the business
I don’t think it’s fair to say that we’ve given up on Lisp machines because we chose to do so. Most people never got to experience them to begin with! Certainly not enough people to build as thorough a software ecosystem as we expect nowadays.
Yes, it's possible to mix and match at get close to a complete profile. But, this requires more accountability than people are willing to do with their own diets. People have a hard enough time not eating themselves into hyper-obesity, and now they have to factor in amino profiles verses just eating some red meat from time to time.

On the whole, I've met more unhealthy vegans and vegetarians than healthy ones.
You can either pump a kWh of oil out of the ground, or you can collect a kWh of solar energy with a PV panel.
I find this questionable.
Sure, the type of food is more important than where it comes from - IF you eat meat. This argument effectively states that you can stop making environmentalist choices once you have avoided the biggest offenders.

Now, if you really care about moving towards a more environmentally friendly world, you'll not stop there. You'll first want to change your diet to be plant-based, but then also want to make sure that those plant-based foods you buy are best-in-class (environmentally speaking), i.e. lead to healthier soil and less microplastics.

Beyond the environmental aspect, I'd also suggest looking at what impact your choices have along social and economical axes.

Speak for yourself. Speech is ingrained in American culture on both aisles of the political spectrum until last 5-10 years. It’s way beyond 1st amendment and the technicalities of Government limits.

ACLU used to defend KKK’s right to march and express. Liberals used to be extremely pro free speech even reaching across the spectrum in the bowels of right-wing extremism to protect their rights.

The fact of the matter is that speech and generally liberty is one generation away from being dismantled and eroded. If the newer generation wants to abolish it and institute an authoritarian style censorship, they’ll get an American equivalent of CCP censorship, but through proxy of corporations. All buttons and knobs are in place with Big Tech. It just needs following.

The fall of speech rights in the west is a recent phenomenon and America appears to be the last bastion fighting for it. COVID was the last straw that broke camel’s back for places like Canada and New Zealand.
I was also under the impression that Teflon's properties are mostly due it's high chemical stability up to around 260*C, so I wouldn't e.g. expect it react with anything inside your body. Not sure if PTFE chips accumulate inside tissue or are excreted, but maybe that's a problem. I searched for studies how degrading/chipping PTFE coatings in cookware may affect health but couldn't find any good ones, mostly articles from biased sources.

Afaik, the main concern in cookware was PFOAs used in manufacturing that may outgas during use, not the PTFE itself. The PFOA have now been mostly replaced by something called GenX, which isn't proven to be safer yet.

I'm not sure the cited studies really apply unless there's some proof that the PFOAs (generally no longer used, but same may apply to GenX replacement chemical) leach out during flossing; afaik heating is the main concern in cookware, not contact. And the latter ones are mostly about alum nano-particles accumulating in the body, I don't know into what size particles Teflon coating on floss would break down if at all.
I hope so! Not entirely is it true, network effects may be really powerful here. And "negotiate with 18383838 copyright holders" is not a small task.
