7 hours of storage might work in a country like Australia, but not necessarily in some other countries. For example, in Finland winter is several months long and during that time PV will produce almost no electricity. During winter there may also be relatively long periods with only a little wind.
That is exactly the solution. I remember when I used to live in a country outside of the US, the first time a mall came to my city. It was built around a community experience. It was a place where people used to go, just like the park, to hang out. There was no obligation to spend any money. We’d hang out after school every day for a few years. Sometimes we spent money, sometimes we didn’t. The time we stopped going, which kind of aligned with overall decline of the space, was when they tried to turn every square inch of the mall into a revenue generating piece of real estate.

The most popular malls had community spaces. There were events for kids, there were spaces to hang out, there were sports being broadcast on the wall for free, the mall itself was an indoor + outdoor experience with plenty of green space, there were gyms, an entire lobby of pool tables and other games (you had to surrender an id to play, but otherwise it was free). So many attractions that would bring people over again and again while driving up business naturally.

Why do web-services tend to use preshared secret keys for client authentication
Yep, pretty much exactly this. I've spent some time with SLAM, and in my experience, it's usually just a part of a larger ML pipeline. Not only can SLAM be paired with external data sources to generate labeled 3D objects, but inferences can be drawn directly from a generated point cloud without any ML involved.

My best guess for this is that floor plans and furniture can be used to _fingerprint_ a user, rather than knowing that the user owns a couch so that The Company can recommend a particular CPG. Knowing who their target demographics are with greater accuracy certainly feeds back into their recommender systems, but not so directly, which makes me concerned for this investigation's success.

I would be far more comfortable cycling if the majority of cars on the road were self driving instead of distracted and angry drivers.

Even in probably a top 5 city for cycling in America (SF), I weigh how poor the drivers will be along the route when choosing to drive or cycle.

In a city like San Diego, where drunk driving is a local pastime, I would never cycle.
Mobility for disabled/old people seems to have been the first to move to electric.

Do NYC, Boston, and Chicago not count? As well as all the other people who live in similar latitudes? There are also a large number of areas where it's too hot to safely rely on bikes for transportation without risking heatstroke in vulnerable populations. If anything, areas like San Francisco are outliers in terms of being good for cycling.

Perfectly capable of riding bicycles. Unless you're talking really old, like 80s or 90s. They can ride trikes or golf carts.

> This is ridiculous utopian nonsense

Our ancestors ran down buffaloes and woolly mammoths. Your suggestion that we can't do basic physical exertion anymore is downright dystopian and nanny-stateish. We could all do with a healthy dose of taking personal responsibility for our own transportation.
Years ago wrote a language agnostic task queue in PHP.

Now Elixir with Genservers that can handle proper concurrency and back pressure is trivial.

One of the best is Oban, which uses PostgreSQL for the queue storage. No more celery, Redis or other external dependencies needed.

Heck if you don’t need persistence you can use Que which keeps it in ram.

That being said I would never write a task queue any longer. Too many good options out there now for every major language.

We’re not Google.
Yeah, I wasn't exactly sceptical but didn't really bother because we didn't have anywhere to lock them up. I would say dockless e-bikes were my gateway drug. We lived somewhere the docked (Boris Bikes) scheme didn't go, so suddenly being able to get around with low effort really opened our eyes.

Once we got access to a street lockup here in London, my wife and I both bought e-bikes (these ones https://analogmotion.com/). We have good insurance and a couple of gold rated locks and so far have managed 2 years with them in London, a city notorious for bike thefts.

I don't do everything on the bike, and I don't take it out if I'm going out normally - though the times I have it's been fine/not stolen. It's great. We haven't owned a car in the 7.5 years since we moved here and can't imagine going back to a way of life where we have to.
This could spiral into some interesting combinations. Imagine Redbean with PHP support, and it already includes SQLite. You could keep your entire site: PHP, database, files - in one file that also runs your web server, and it works on multiple operating systems.
That would be one hell of a projection if it is visible to where I'm looking in the road. I'm not looking at the road immediately in front of me. I'm looking well ahead just as taught while learning to drive.
Block Floating Point
My thoughts as CDN engineer:

It can be a tiny amount more efficient since an async disk IO implementation might dispatch the file read() call to a thread pool, wait for the result, and then send the data back to the client. Makes 2 extra context switches compared to sending data from memory. Now if the user is super confident that the data is hot and in page cache then a synchronous disk read will fix the problem. Or trying a read with RWF_NOWAIT and only falling back to a thread pool if necessary.

On the other hand rendering a template on each request also requires CPU, which might be either more or less expensive than doing a syscall.

All in all the efficiency differences are likely negligible unless you run a CDN which does thousands of requests per seconnd.

In terms of throughput to the end user it will make zero measurable difference unless the box ran out of CPU.

> a lot of very fat people, old people, disabled people, and so forth who could not ride a bike half a mile.

Fat tire e-bikes can support fat people and it's not an engineering impossibility to make bikes for fat people (it's largely market driven AFAIK). old people in many other countries routinely use e-bikes as they require very little effort. No, everyone on the planet can't ride a bike, but the vast majority of people who drive are capable of riding an ebike.

Interactive, nonlinear stories == interactive fiction (IF) == text adventure games in the style of 1980s Infocom.

It's interesting that the Twine website seems to actively avoid calling them IF or text adventures or games, and prefers "stories" instead. Maybe the community feels that those labels are too limiting. (I haven't played any contemporary IF or any Twine experiences, so just observing as an outsider.)
I have found that (some) malls can be a good place to work remote. I can grab some food, a latte, get in a quick walk, and do a bit of shopping at the end of my work day. There's a variety of places to sit and wifi is generally just fine (and even better if there's a Starbucks in the mall).

If I owned a mall right now, I'd be focusing on this angle.
Completely agree there, I want to see humanity take the leap and become a type 1 and then a type 2 civilization.

It is mind blowing to me that the first diesel engine installed on a ship was 1903 and where we are 122 years later already touching space. I can hardly wait to see what the next 50+ years bring. It will be hard and I am sure we will have some growing pains, but going back is never an option.

Biking is not going to be for everyone, nor is it going to work for many rural areas. But as many have pointed out we shouldn't let perfect be the enemy of good. Bikes are just one part of a larger solution to the problem of car dependence.

We need a variety of options for people of varying abilities. We need standard bikes, e-bikes, accessible vehicles[1], busses, trains, light rail, street cars, walkable cities and electric cars.

Self-driving cars are more likely to make traffic worse, not better here's a good explanation about it[2].

At the end of the day, less people driving is good for people living in cities, and for people who need/want to drive

People have been losing their jobs because of technology ever since the industrial revolution, each one of them enraged about it, and rightfully so. Society doesn't care about people who've put their whole lives into a skill that suddenly became worthless (or much less valuable then it was).

The solution is not to ban technology (you can't really ban technology, as it's not under total government control) - the solution is to enable anyone to pursue new skills without fear of homelessness and starvation. I.e. Universal Basic Income.
They can handle any snow or ice you could drive in. Lots of studded tire options out there. That said, I think this problem is truly minuscule relative to the size of the opportunity as a whole.
Are you attempting to be provocative or are you not understanding my comment? Apocalypse Now was a retelling of a novel set in Africa - it isn't "about" the Vietnam war, that just happens to be the context for this particular telling of the story. It comprises a journey, a narrator, a "madman," and various other fictional characters. Heck, I bet you could retell it using hobbits and elves or really fictional characters if you really wanted. The actual setting in this case is secondary to the message of the story, which is why it isn't brought forward more - I would posit that's probably why the scenes with the French colonists were left out in the original theater release.
Hi Everyone,

For years now I've maintained a personal Spotify playlist that is roughly 30m long that I use for timing work blocks. It works well but is slow to change and requires weekly maintainance to keep it fresh which led me to creating POMOLIST.

POMOLIST takes a playlist of your choice and uses the songs in it to generate random playlists as close to possible to your choosen length.

There is a free plan with a new list every week and upgrades available if you want more flexibility in playlist length or frequency. Currently working on being able to generate multiple playlists each day so you can have a different one for each block.
according to my experience it is true for most iOS users, but definitely not for Macintosh users.
You must separated paths for bikes and cars. We did that in Paris in the past few years and bike usage has exploded. It simply becomes safe (and pleasant) to ride a bike and people tends to follow others when society make a reasonable choice (favor bikes over cars).

And it was/is not easy to make space for bike in such a dense city.
Hottake on skimming the article: people don't yet fully get where this is going (fast).

In the unbundling story, the premise is I gather that what is disruptive atm is that what's left as the god-in-the-gaps human role, is now democratized in the the technological acceleration in the the creation-substantiation phase at the head of the snake.

What we need to start preparing for is that the creation phase is next; it's a mere engineering problem.

Yes, that's somewhat sardonic; it's going to take some years. But only some.

What I am saying is, before we are ready, the aspects which remain human-domain in the cybernetic collaboration between humans and AI in what well call "content generation," namely, the agency and the intention—the "idea" which today is, the prompt; the editorial and curatorial functions; the insight and lightbulb and all...

...that is going to become the domain of the AI as well.

What inspires "art" or whatever else?

The filtering of media streams (aka cultural discourse, the zeitgeist) and the identification of symmetries, analogies, serendipity, humor... whatever that is, it like the "substantiation" phase is going to be ceded to the super-human in a few years.

I speculated recently to a friend that the way the fine-art market reacts to this is going to be interesting. We're going to have Wintermute on tap. I wondered if gallerists will represent AIs, or, spin them up long enough for them to emit some stream of work then be ceremoniously destroyed.

Per Ex Machina that may not go so well in various ways.

Anyway. The writing is on the wall.

And it's not in OUR handwriting.
I would bet that the internal sensor is used in a model with the skin sensor to remove the effects of the internal temperature of the watch and get a more accurate skin temp reading.
I have been using the separate search bar for, idk, 10(?) years and I have never encountered a single bug with it (including the one you describe). Maybe you should give it another chance and chalk that up to an issue with the initial rollout, which is a standard thing to happen on virtually every software release.

> The default behavior is also nonsensical if you want to access anything on the local network by name.

Ok, and what percent of users do you think that affects? And what percent of those aren't technically savvy enough to enable the separate search bar? And what percent of those who aren't under a company managed policy that enables the separate search bar automatically? Let's make some reasonable estimates about those numbers and then reevaluate how "nonsensical" this core feature of Firefox is.
Maybe emails shouldn't be primary documentation. They were never designed for that, and shoehorning them into that role has ruined the entire experience.

For example, my workplace no longer allows forwarding or IMAP access because of this, so I'm forced to use the sh*tty Outlook web client, which wastes untold numbers of minutes each day waiting on the damn thing to load something. Just now it wouldn't let me open a PDF in a native client, because I guess Microsoft is so obsessed with locking us into their ecosystem. Instead I had to save it to disk first then go to the file manager to load it. (Yo, MSFT, this is why people hate you.)
I can definitely confirm this, I tried to air cool my 5950X without much luck. Enabling PBO I've seen it go over 200W, which a 240mm rad handles very well.

Different people require different levels of social interaction. I'm one of those people who require less than the average. Once I had the opportunity to work from home I spent quite a bit more time socializing outside of work than before - not because I had insufficient socialization now, but because I had more energy to put into cultivating those freindships I cared about. Working from an office I was constantly burnt out entertaining my co-workers who required more socialization than I did, and couldn't make time for the friends of my choice.

I see 'mandatory back to the office' talk as a demand by extraverts that their introverted co-workers subsidize their need for social interaction, and I feel resentment at the imposition on my limited social energy. To support a position touting the benefits of workplace socialization I'd need to see it presented with an attitude of 'the option of meeting your co-workers face to face is a costly perk I hope many employers will continue to offer', not an entitlement to my friendship.

Fat and old people can use bikes, actually! Bikes are actually better than walking in many instances, because bikes reduce strain on joints (whether from weight or arthritis). An average bike can carry up to 275-300 lbs, and a specialized bike can carry up to 500.

At least as it works now, on a given system, you can generate an identical image given the exact same prompt and the same random seed. That is assuming you are using the exact same software version and model version and the exact same graphics card.

> and the physical exertion keeps you warmer than you would be on foot.

Only if you are not sweating. Once you sweat its game over. You are probably thinking of very short pre sweating distances.

Only way to bike moderate to long distance is to dress in layers and shed layers as you get warm and let the moisture get out. You also need moisture wicking base layers and moisture expelling mid layer.
