It's a nice idea, but if it were easy it would have been done by now. I think a lot of the problem is that UI tends to be very specific, and often giving one component what it needs to work well imposes requirements on other components.

In order for a UI to work well and be comprehensible, there has to be a sensible hierarchy over the entire layout. If you don't achieve that, the whole might be less than the sum of its parts.

But I think React is actually probably the closest thing to what you are describing. It does a pretty good job of encapsulating UI components into fairly small chunks which can be styled externally to fit into a larger layout.

I also agree it would make sense to break things like Blender into smaller applications. But actually I think that would have more to do with having a standardized interoperable model layer, with a clear interface, so different applications could modify the same data with a different UI layer.
The wire was written by people who worked as actual police. The stories in the wire obviously aren't true, but when I found that out it made complete sense. There's just something more real about the wire than most other shows.
Climate change risk to coastal castles – English Heritag
The current blog author has a series of in-depth articles on the current European energy crisis which really dig into this, random highlights:

France is not quite ready to accept that nuclear is not the future, so will be subsidizing it for a while rather than building as much renewables as would be ideal for cheaper, more stable energy:

https://jeromeaparis.substack.com/p/edfs-woes-are-a-bigger-l...

> Today, we face a new situation where it’s not just new nuclear which is no longer competitive, but even the much needed refurbishment of the existing nuclear plants in France (“le grand carénage“) is not likely to be cheaper than building new renewable capacity. EDF recently estimated that, after all planned renovations for the 2014-2025 period, the 50-year average real cost of its electricity would be 55 EUR/MWh. In contrast, the recent tenders for offshore wind have yielded a strike of 44 EUR/MWh. These prices directly threaten the industrial strategy of EDF which has tried to keep as much as possible of its nuclear fleet running. There is little awareness of that reality in France.

What Germany really did wrong with their energy market:

https://jeromeaparis.substack.com/p/how-messed-up-was-german...

Basically, right-wingers moaning about "subsidies", just at the critical time Germany should have been pushing ahead with offshore wind and costing the country a lot of money as a result as they would have been running by now.
Yeah. I did. I can apparently read and do simple math.

The monthly numbers for 2020 are:
12,852 12,842 12,797 11,914 9,713 10,442 11,006 10,577 10,921 10,457 11,196 11,169

which yields an average production of 11323.83333 thousand barrels a day for the year.

This year, production is the following:
11,369 11,316 11,701 11,668 11,615 11,816

which yields an average production of 11580.83333 thousand barrels a day for the year.

11580 (2022) is greater than 11323 (2020) by about ~22%.
> Anybody know why this is the case?

Because it's often true, although it's more cyclical than downhill. You have an open emerging technology and people start out self-reliant and have to learn from the ground up out of necessity, and over time things become so tower of babel like that new people can't or don't need to understand it anymore. Then it gets so bad that someone tears it down and you're back to the starting point

In future in planning to layer on more content understanding eg audio with whisper etc, then milvus/haystack for lookup phases for more factual question answering, then some work on automated retraining and regeneration etc for hard cases, then searching other systems/internal code and logic execution etc, eventually with a few more steps I'm hoping it will feel like I made AGI in a rack in my house lol...

Modern computing feels so... nonconsensual.

Everything coerces you into creating an account, installing an app, allowing notifications, etc. And when did "no" become "not now"?

The Google Search bar on my Pixel's home screen no longer opens YouTube links in Firefox, but instead redirects me to the Play Store to install the YouTube app.

Reddit won't show me certain subreddits on the mobile website. They're only available in the app.

Twitter won't let me see tweets without signing in. Instagram prompts me to create an account as soon as I scroll.

There's a lot more. I need a host of browser extensions just to make the harassment bearable.
What I don't understand is why we're selling oil from the Strategic Reserve to China. I've asked people in the oil business and even they're perplexed. If we're going to sell some to another country why not to one of our European allies?

If that were the only plot then yes. But I assume there would be some interesting questions as to how similar or different the creators would be, what kind of physics they would have, how would "our" people react to the idea that there finally was proof of "God" who had crated us. And would that God be "good"?

Personally here's one trait I'd like to see in the book: The weirdness of quantum mechanics gets even weirder as we study it more. And that is the clue that many take to mean we probably live in simulated reality because simulated reality need not be logically consistent. So in the simulators' reality there would be no Quantum Mechanics, and physics would be much simpler. In our simulated reality it exists only as a clue to us that we live in a simulation. Or something like that.

Thanks for links to everybody, I didn't expect there to be so many books. I thought living in a simulated reality was a rather new idea. But Sci-Fi can see into the future.
> Where did you learn to invent stuff like this?

Lots of reading, being willing to try something, welcoming failure as also a learning moment.

That seems fairly reasonable to me? Most people are just trying to get by. They have bigger problems on their plate like getting paid so they can pay their bills on time, and keep a roof over their head. Adding additional stuff on top of that is a cognitive load that most people would rightfully push back against, because they don't have the spare capacity.

I think this is a big part of why, to-date, the environmental movement is comprised of the relatively wealthy, and what I would characterize as "true believers" who don't have much, but are okay with that, and okay with living their lives in a way that minimizes their impact. The first group have the spare capacity to do something about their impact, and the second group take it on as a mandate that often (but not always) affects their ability to function in broader society (or: how do you hold down a decent job if you ride a pushbike everywhere?).

My personal belief is that any successful environmental movement needs to go hand-in-hand with a more equitable distribution of wealth in society, and focus on quality-of-life, so that the people in the middle have the spare capacity to give a shit. Otherwise, you're going to bump into the ugly reality of people's day-to-day, and your movement will be perceived as rich people -- who make up the bulk of consumption to begin with -- telling everybody else how to live their lives. Which is exactly what's happened. I don't think it's an accident that the countries farthest along the path to decarbonization also have some of the best income equality, and quality-of-life on the planet.
> From 2004 to 2009, Koonin was employed by BP as the oil and gas company’s Chief Scientist. From 2009 to 2011, he was Under Secretary for Science, Department of Energy, in the Obama administration.

Someone like that isn't just a scientist any more, they're a politician and senior manager. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it's deceptive to leave it out.
From wikipedia, if they are to be believed: Steven E. Koonin is an American theoretical physicist and former director of the Center for Urban Science and Progress at New York University. He is also a professor in the Department of Civil and Urban Engineering at NYU's Tandon School of Engineering

Interestingly, the chief scientist at BP is also named Steven Koonin, according to LinkedIn.

While there may be hype, don't take his writing to mean "tune out concerns about the ice sheets in Antartica" or anywhere. 1 out of 5 dentists recommended sugar-laden gum to chew, and I heard a weather scientist say over lunch to me once that atmospheric gases don't trap heat significantly. Real scientists cast doubt on the connection of smoking to cancer too.
I know that GPT-3 is not AGI nor modeled properly to ever represent what we would consider to be AGI; but this feels freakishly AGI-ish. This feels like the model is 'reasoning' in a way that I would not expect based on my intuition of how GPT-3 works. As it's been explained to me in lay terms; GPT is great at predicting the next word based on a chunk of previous context. This feels like it's doing much more than that as it's understanding the context and parameters that relate to a question embedded in the text, which seems unrelated to the original instruction of GPT-3 as I understand. Can anyone explain?

It is capitalism. The capital necessary to purchase the store, maintain cash flow, and make periodic maintenance and upgrades will come from the ownership. Profit, an important part of capitalism, may be generated by the business to the benefit of the shareholders. In this case, that profit may be cash, discounts, additional goods or services, reinvestment into the business or whatever the town owners/shareholders or their designees decide.

Goats yell like humans and we seem to recognize the sounds as human voices, even when they're not. It's probably a bad example, but maybe we "recognize" human voices even when they're not there. Similar to how we recognize faces everywhere that aren't really faces (e.g. the face on the moon).

But anyway, I'm playing devil's advocate with myself. I agree that's definitely a human voice on the intercom.
given that this devices was successfully used for such a long distance shot and chosen by people capable of that type of a feat it is questionable for someone else to say that there's something "better". with regard to aiming on long distance - how can there something be better? maybe you meant to state that you own models which are better suited for your specific use case.

You're essentially on call 24/7, so better get used to it. If you travel, securing a solid Internet connection is your priority, and your family needs to understand you can be called away at a moment's notice. And if you're on a long flight, it can make sense to pay up for Internet connectivity as well.

As soon as it makes sense, you should start hosting somewhere in the cloud so you can offload at least some of the potential problems to SREs. I also found that moving your database to the cloud can be a good trade-off when running solo.
> You get home, you plug in

Assuming a common work schedule, that would put you into plugging in at the most expensive peak tier pricing ($0.72c/kW here in PG&E land).

When we had the EV I had a timer on the charger to only turn on at midnight when the off-peak rates kick in. If one had to leave early in the morning, the car was never fully charged.

It worked ok most of the time as my partner could charge it up to 100% for free at work, but without that perk it was iffy.
Cheaper than an equivalent EV charger. Safety requires an isolating transformer in the charger, which adds costs and an efficiency loss. The wireless charger is the isolating transformer in their case, leading to surprisingly high efficiency and low costs in comparison.
At least you guys have software conflicts. I try to run "runemacs.exe" (I have no idea how you're supposed to run Emacs on Windows, but that's what I do), and it's:

R -> "R, the project for statistical computing" (fair I suppose)

Ru -> Run (what is "run"? It's that little dialog box from Windows 3.1 where you can type in an executable to run)

Run -> Run

Rune -> RuneScape (not something I have installed)

Runem -> Some Hearthstone game file

Runemac -> Search results for "run amok".

Runemacs -> Hey the thing!
You can, but who does?

> They are obligated by law to do what they said they would, even at their cost, if above and beyond what they expected and not covered by the contact as a cost-plus, or risk losing their contractors license and being civilly liable. At least in the vast majority of US jurisdictions.

This is technically true, but misleading. They have to follow the contract, but the contract likely includes exceptions for unforseen issues. And while you can technically sue a contractor for breach of contract the only reason to do so in this situation would be spite. The rational choice if a contractor cheats you on a small project is to be sad and move on. (Google around and you'll find lots of people who learned that the hard way).
Impressive that they were able to control things well enough that it only took 69 tries. (Vs. 69,000 or so.)

(Yes, statistical "proof" that it wasn't 10,000-to-1 luck would require far more experimental data. With their setup, that wouldn't be quick or cheap to get.)

This makes zero logic, or sense. You literally just stated that every free market economy has elements of communism then denied your statement right after.

I think you're caught by the connotation of the word instead of the definition. Team communism is the enemy to you.
Is it just a coincidence then that the rest of the world is experiencing the same (or worse) inflation? And do you think the shortages of things like computer chips, and the increase in price of natural gas because of Europe's new imports have no effect on prices in the US?
Why is it unfortunate? It's a worthwhile and perfectly legitimate use of SPR to even out economic impacts.

Building an agtech platform (with quite a few other people, including a designer and data scientist, but I'm currently the sole developer, and for the most part it was built by a single developer).

Backend: Rust, rocket, sqlx, postgres + a little bit of R. Ansible for deployment.

Frontend: Rescript + React. Also a significant portion of Rust/WASM, but that was a mistake I'm trying to undo.

In short, statically typed and functional(-ish).
The US doesn’t differentiate between those two cases, and thus a “tactical” strike from the Russian pov would lead to a massive escalation.

Putin should remember that US doctrine explicitly approves massive nuclear first strikes when a situation appears to be escalating to nuclear conflict. Plus the US actually has thousands of mission-ready nukes and only two cities to hit.
I move my private projects from Heroku to Fly.io. It wasn't as easy as advertised, but oh well, it works now.

"The US" is a big place. Depends which city/county you're in and who is providing the electric service.

That sounds like a nightmare. Does it really change hourly? How can you program your systems to use the most efficient rate if you have no idea in advance what it is?

Here in PG&E California we have time of use tiers, but they are known. So I can for example let the EV start charging only at midnight when the cheapest tier kicks in. But I know it is cheap midnight to 3pm, brutally expensive 3pm to 9pm and fairly expensive 9pm to midnight.
