I know a fair bit about it. Present what you're thinking about.

A free market doesn't have to be perfect in order to deliver results. It's just that the more free it is, the better it delivers.

Actually, maybe good consequences.

Lithium presence in drinking water (from natural sources) has been linked to lower crimes rate, suicides rate, and is acting as a mood stabilizer.
If IP address logging is enough to count as monitoring, then sending a block page doesn't fix the problem.

If you're confident enough that you have a non-tracking response to EU citizens, then you already did the hard part, and you might as well dump the article contents into that response.
It's strange and slightly ironic to see this topic be discussed between someone with "richies" and another with "pauper" in their name.
There’s no “corruption ranking”, only corruption perception ranking. People who dislike a government will perceive more corruption regardless of the reality, and vice versa. Similarly, people who are hardly scraping by will likely perceive more corruption compared to those living more prosperously, even if there’s no corruption at all.

Not one that Piedmont Lithium can benefit from, but those are the breaks sometimes.
It costs more to put them on residential roofs.

It is cheap on industrial and warehouse roofs, and extends the life of the roof. But they coexist well with pasture and crop land uses, too, as well as reservoirs and canals.

So space for solar is absolutely abundant everywhere.
I wasn't using jargon for jargon's sake. The original question quoted this little passage:

"Graphs as matrices and the Laplacian of a graph. Interpretations of the largest and smallest eigenvectors/eigenvalues of the Laplacian. Spectral embeddings, and an overview of applications (e.g. graph coloring, spectral clustering.)"

My response used the same terms to quickly sketch how they relate to PageRank, and hence try to show how the theory relates to an application. If I was trying to explain PageRank to someone who wasn't familiar with the maths I would take a different approach, but this is a tiny little textbox and there are already many very nice visualizations and other explanations that one can Google.

Sigh! --paywall
The internet c. 1995-2005, and probably before, was lacking in fun design but was so straight forward that I miss it, save for constant pop-ups. Websites like Craigslist, Wikipedia, HN, are a few of the last bastions of content over pretty.
I took "tax sugars in fruit" to mean a tax on a whole banana or other whole fruit based on its natural sugar content. It's well-known that the fiber in fruit makes eating the whole fruit much better than drinking fruit juice.

Adding grape juice or apple juice to a snack or drink would still be considered an added sugar on the nutrition label under FDA guidelines[1].

The reason they do that is often to make sure "sugar" isn't the first ingredient in the ingredient list, which have to be listed in decreasing order of weight[2].

Note that the ingredient list and the nutrition facts label are two different things.

One commonly used form of AI is supervised learning, in which a large number of samples with tags (such as names of items in a photo) are used to train the AI. That sample set should be divided randomly into 3 sets, training, testing, and validation. Great care needs to be put into managing these sets and making sure they stay separate and are used appropriately.

Reason I brought this up --> If a company fails to manage these 3 sets properly, they will end up with an AI that is 100% accurate in demos, and fails miserably in the real world.
Good thing ICE cars work on magic fairy dust that just appears from a well beneath the gas station pump.

It's all roses when you're living on the top floor. If you're on any other floor, waste water from other people's units will be flowing through your space. The lower your floor, the more of other people's waste will be flowing. I know this from experience of living in a building converted from commercial warehouse to residential.

This is not accurate. The relationship between counties, municipalities, and the States that contain them is very diverse in the US. None of this generalizes well.
Luxury apartment from 50 years ago is an affordable housing right now is another way to look at it.

Same principle behind targeting the high end market first for new products. Affordable iPhones are the used ones or the older models… not the latest models. Outside of government subsidies, the private market doesn’t target the poor for new stuff because it doesn’t make economic sense.

Yes it lowers rent by increasing supply. Same principle behind old iPhone models going on sale when the new model comes out. The rich people buy the new phones and flood the market with old models.

If you also look at the iPhone mini experiment it had abysmal sales… the phone was a new model that targeted the lower end. People Penny pinching tend to also look at used phones or actual old models.
None. Lithium only starts being psychotropic above a few mg per day (typically hundreds of mg per day for therapeutic, but it is suspected by some to be active well below that).

The intake from the environment would be micrograms/day, if not even less, above natural background. There are water sources with far higher natural concentrations.
In Australia we refer to ourselves as part of the “western world” - despite the geography being nonsensical!

If water utilities were private, they would be significantly more accountable for their actions. Both criminally and civilly. DA's don't prosecute their own, because that's career suicide. City council and employees have qualified immunity.

We give government special protections that prevent public accountability because it's expected that democracy effectively puts competent people into office. We are continually proving this to be wrong. Our election and powers structure is not accurate to the voter base. Most of these positions go in challenged, because people can't quit their job to fill a government role.

Further, private companies can't keep passing the ball like governments do. They can't pull from other funds, and they have contracted duties. Even better if the company is a co-op.

There is no golden rule, but assume tier-2 cities mayn't have airport, no famous schools, less than 2 or 3 million people living in there.

Most of the tier-1 cities has direct international or national airways connectivity.

Tier-3 cities may not even have a single factory, it is hub for 100s villages, has decent bus-connectivity to nearest tier-2 city.
It is as simple as more units = more choices and assuming the number of people chasing those units isn't infinite, more units on the market means they now have to compete for the renters.

Build more housing is a part of the solution. Not an ideal solution but better than doing nothing.
If you read my other comments in this thread, you'll find we're largely in agreement.
Tier-1 cities are top 7-8 Indian cities based on population. Tier-2 and Tier-3 are smaller cities

Another thing to keep in mind with solar is that so far we have been optimizing primarily for cost, rather than land use. This means installing panels at a high angle, far apart from each other to minimize shading and maximize energy captured per panel. If land is ever the limiting factor we can tilt solar panels at a shallower angle to reduce shading problems or just accept a certain amount of shading in the morning or evening. This could reduce land use by a factor of 5 or more.
Hydrogen production still needs its own Elon Musk.

It's not even slightly viable unless you get the sweet Toyota $15k credit for hydrogen.

In my country there are exactly 0 hydrogen refuelling stations, I'd need to grab my passport to go refuel =) There are 4 L3 quick chargers 5 minutes away. 4 more 10 minutes away. And I can charge where I park.
I disagree with the last half of your comment. I (like to think?) I work for a top tier organization, and plenty of times when I have a thorny problem, I have to spend a few days just thinking about it to get my head around all aspects of it. Then everything suddenly clicks, and I can implement extremely rapidly, but doing the cogitation is sometimes a prerequisite.

I agree that at the interview stage, that’s not an ideal thought process, but there are other ways to make a good impression in the interview.
Wow yeah I guess those people might exist but we'll never know. They might just not tell you that they care.
“It’s semantics” is the briefest way I usually describe this phenomenon.
You didn’t like the film and a lot of others did. What’s cringey about it? Different people different tastes. I for one enjoyed it. And enjoyment is what I go to a movie for.
The four week grid storage requirement is completely bonkers, dunno where the researches got that from.

Even if we'd need it, batteries are the single worst way to do it with current tech :D
Even that massively overblows the real numbers, because there is no need to use that land only for solar.
What I remember from childhood was that you were often looking for a particular piece you knew you had, but could not find it. This app could be useful for that.
When you were a kid wasn't the funniest part modifying the design or building your own? Isn't that kind of the point of Lego? It's in small blocks so you can create something with your imagination?
Thanks for the lol, have my upvote.
It created compassion in the sense that you cannot be compassionate about something you don't know about. Having reproducible images means a greater awareness of far away events.

In some cases (like the ones mentioned in the article), photo documentation can make things "undeniable" in a way that just knowing about some terrible, but far removed, thing cannot.
I'd rather you didn't have your own vehicle. Much more convenient for everyone else.
Thank you for being a voice of reason in what's become a very flamewary thread.

I think LSP language server protocol and literate programming are a match made in heaven.

A simple syntax like noweb and a LSP dispatcher which only handles the noweb syntax elements and dispatches both text and code chunks to respective back ends; the LP LSP Server tangles the code chunks and presents the tangled code to the code specific LSP servers and does the mapping forth and back of the position-in-nw vs position-in-$code while passing all other communication through.

especially now that we have DAP something like this would really make sense, wouldn't it?
From a mineral resources PoV vacumming up ocean floor nodules and metals extraction from seawater also count as "mining" .. just not in the dwarves underground with pick axes sense.

The issue, for now, with lithium from seawater is the cost of the extraction techniques at scale - the economic feasibility isn't there for now.

> Although multiple groups of researchers have devised ways to harvest lithium from the ocean, none of the methods are currently practical. “It’s technically possible to extract lithium from seawater,”

although:

> Still, the biggest challenge in devising a practical system for extracting lithium from the ocean is the metal’s ultralow concentration in seawater. There are many sources of salt-enriched water with high lithium concentrations, including salty lakes, brine used in geothermal power plants, and brackish water generated from oil and gas production. Some researchers have started to look at those sources as a more practical starting point than ocean water. “If the lithium concentration starts out 10–100 times higher, then electrochemical systems could be economically feasible,” Cui says.

Below the threshold of what?

How does a company get word of mouth regarding its charitable donations if their contributions are anonymous?
Marriage counselors warn that we do the same thing to our partners. We automate our perception of them, as well as our reactions to them. Hence, at some point, we no longer really see them. Not lack of love, but our brain trying to save energy might be the cause of most divorces and split-ups.

(I wonder if there is also Flanderization going on, like discussed here yesterday.)

140 wh/kg is comparable to the LFP batteries used in SR model 3s in Tesla, so that implies a 300 mile EV car with no lithium.

Yes it missed the 2022 date, but "planned production" is far better than "hey check out this research paper".

140 wh/kg should enable nearly all modes of day-to-day city and suburban driving. IMO that is a HUGE deal since that is a very large percentage of daily miles driven. I believe it is quite safe, having reduced safety/cooling like LFP which helps close the gap at pack level density with cobalt/nickel chemistries.

But ... we'll see. But 200 wh/kg LFP (which should be 300-400 mile range cars and SUVs) combined with sodium ion for the "lesser" packs should enable a true BEV revolution at least in consumer cars.

That would leave solid state / cobalt-nickel / sulfur for long distance trucking and other applications. Even if solid state makes it to market in the next couple years, I predict it will not be price competitive with Sodium Ion/LFP techs for quite a while after that. There will be plenty of buyers for practically all battery chemistries I would imagine.
Policymakers, anyway, are used to being lied to, so mostly know better than to be swayed by tendentious material like TFA.

Solar and wind, uniquely, do not compete for land, as they coexist neatly with other uses. This is part of why they are the cheapest power generation that has ever been fielded.
In between commits, the `--cache` option is still helpful because it means you can avoid running prettier on a file whose contents have changed since the last commit but not since it was last saved.

That said, formatters should be run in pre commit hooks anyway.
That sounds fucking horrifically stressful.
This is counting land destroyed by mining and land with some solar panels over it as the same thing.
I fixed it. Thanks.
Unfortunately many people subscribe to the concept that we’re living in a meritocracy and thus if someone is poor it’s due to their own fault.
Ask HN: Best Language & Framework for GUI development
Hello, I am looking to make a GUI application for desktop, I want it to be lightweight as it will be running during resource intensive tasks like video rendering etc

These are my requirements
- Lightweight, shouldn't be resource heavy: below (75 MB Ram) and low CPU & GPU preferably

- Language shouldn't have a massive learning curve/ super esoteric

- A GUI Desktop app

- Possible to make minimalistic but nice looking UI

- Frontend and backend same language

- Supports cross-platform (Optional)

Thank you for reading my post :)
The size of the USA is 9,833,520 km² not 42000 km² according to Wikipedia. So 12000 km² corresponds to roughly 0.1% of the total land area.

To get a feeling if we could use rooftop solar to satisfy energy consumption. LA has an area of 1200 km², assuming 30% of the City are buildings and parking lots (not sure if that is a valid assumption) putting solar on those would satisfy about 3% of energy capacity requirements. Judging by that it doesn't seem outrageous (orders of magnitude off) to say we could satisfy all electricity demands with rooftop solar, especially if we add wind and hydro to the mix.
Well know issue for night sky photographers.
Did you gain any insight after 10 years later?
Not using HTTPS opens up a bunch of new possibilities of how to cheat...

I understand that the Peter Jackson Beatles documentary did some very clever things with ML to separate the voices and instruments to make a decent soundtrack from a fairly mediocre input stream.
wouldn't wikis be good the contemporary successors of that section? it's about documentation being disconnected from code, about co-evolving and providing both in an economical way, in contrast to being inefficient or even ineffective in documenting technology.
The best analogy I've seen is imagine our universe as the surface of a balloon. Only the surface, we can't see or touch anything else.

If you inflate the balloon, our universe expands. Points get farther away from each other, proportionally to how far away they started. In this analogy, we're not expanding into anything we can see or feel or know anything about, the only real difference is that points are a bit farther apart.
Singapore is relatively small.
cutting boards...
For reference, in 2010 the US was estimated to have 60,000 km² of road & parking lots

https://persquaremile.com/2011/01/20/800-million-spaces-and-...

So we have experience building infrastructure of a similar scale, though probably not quite at the speed currently needed to meet carbon emissions targets solely by building photovoltaics.

Of course, deserts, and not cities, are the best places to put solar power, especially since the shade generated can be useful for crops, and we have tons of desert in the US
Singapore is an interesting choice to single out.

Singapore is very aggressively installing GW-scale "floatovoltaics", solar floating on their abundant water resources. This is very smart, as the panels stay cool so more efficient, and last much longer. Nobody knows exactly how much longer, because there hasn't been time to find out yet.
How would you even know? Maybe the US is just particularly bad at covering up corruption.
I have already accepted the notion that we as a workforce and creativity input will become irrelevant for corporate overlords in the next decade.

I have already moved to the mountains, stopped practicing UX/UI design, stopped digital drawing and painting, minimized smartphone usage and use internet only for work and casual browsing.

Already archived a lot of media, movies, books and OSS software, just in case.

Moved all the work focus towards frontend implementation with clear understanding that the window of opportunity will close in the next 5 years.

Suddenly I understand, completely, the Amish position towards technology.
It is also worth looking at who is moving out and who is staying, and the broader long-term implications for the functioning of a community when looking at certain patterns over time.

I'm not sure 'paid off' is the correct takeaway. Moreso, Google as an organization has no idea what they are doing, quite literally. Promising free forever, then trying to force you to pay, then giving up is not the sign of a healthy host. That act alone led me to move all of my consumer spending away from Google(mainly drive space and yt premium).
You forgot: They pay to have pics of what the app built for them stored on the magic blockchain…

No, it's unusable. YouTube has ads. Other websites have ads and cookie banners.

The web with uBlock is entirely different. I've grown used to it and I'm not going back.
If you have a rickety grid, then you should go 1000% in with home solar so those BEVs will charge at home. And you'll likely get a distributed grid battery to boot.

IMO Home solar should be hand in hand with grid solar. They are complementary, not adversarial (well, except on where the subsidies go, but there should be ample for both in a better world)
Problem with rust is unlike C you pay for that safety every time you compile.
If we go the way we need to, most battery applications (by total battery storage, not by unit produced) won't need space or weight constraints. Of course a car or phone phone will need to be lithium but there's no reason a Tesla powerwall (currently lithium) couldn't be 0.5x bigger; or certainly grid level electricity storage (currently CA has one second? I think and there is a plan to expand to three days of grid level). Probably even some semis or buses would be ok with a bigger battery
They don't buy YouTube ads, newsletter popups and cookie notices, among other annoyances.

> everyone of every stripe has compassion for homeless people

The conservatives in my hometown of Seattle are fairly vocal about not giving a fuck. It's sort of their defining feature. As in, they differ not at all from the liberals except on homeless issues.
I was wondering anyone could shed some light on the "These hash functions should be pairwise independent" part. I don't know what pairwise independent means. My background is mostly in web so I am familiar with things like `sha256`, `sha1`, `md5` things like that. Would you use these kind of functions for Count-min Sketch?

I saw in your socklimit project looks like `fasthash64` and `hashlittle` I'm not familiar with those any insight or recommended reading to understand these hash functions?

p.s. googling pairwise independent hash functions did get me some college class reading but doesn't mention any named hash functions developed out in the world.
