I HIGHLY recommend the Chrisfix Youtube channel. This guy just goes above and beyond in providing an entertaining format to do many of the easy fixes and maintenance item on your car. He deserves every subscription he gets. The videos are so entertaining, I just watch them even if I don't have anything broken on my car.

Here is a video on how to change every fluid in a typical car, he makes it look so easy and it turns out, its not that hard. This alone can extend the reliable life of most modern cars yet many people skip out on many of these fluids because it seems too hard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7JCh7PHoDc

Another great video is the five fundamental things a car needs to work. He eloquently explains how he managed to repair a free car he got just by following a diagnosis procedure that ensures these five items are operational: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNhuDCVIydw

Some models of cars are much more user friendly than others and every car seems to have a unique set of design quirks that make some parts tricky to work on. Thats where more experienced mechanics must unfortunately do the work. In my case I have learned many common jobs and just leave the more complex stuff to the mechanic(still if you maintain a car well these become less common). If I had a full garage, you bet I'd buy a cheap car and just take the whole thing apart and put it back together to learn how to fix everything. Chrisfix actually has videos on doing more complex stuff like replacing a transmission or repairing rust on your car but its the lack of tools that prevents me from attempting the more complex stuff.

One piece of advice my mechanic gave me was that you want to get a car that is popular with younger people as that results in multiple people uploading Youtube videos on fixing everything on that car.

My main car is a first Gen Mazda 3 and it seems like every nook and cranny of this car is documented on Youtube.

My late father drove a 2005 Chevy Equinox and I have had a lot harder time fixing things on this car because it is just not as well documented.

After watching a lot of the ChrisFix videos and getting the confidence to work on a car ( If I mess up the car I still have other one right?) I bought the Haynes manual for each car. This manual has a lot of essential info and repair procedures for each model. If you can, I'd recommend getting the specific manual for your car.

Finally there was also a campaign years back to create a comprehensive course detailing everything about how a car works. I had pre-ordered the course and it was delivered in 2020. IU haven't started it yet because I just haven't had the urge to(too busy fixing my car with Chrisfix videos and then dealing with other maintenance items around the house).

Someone writes up an interesting story about a pretty neat achievement in developing a system under extreme time pressure of which they're understandably proud, and your response is to criticise a sentence from the introductory framing paragraph? To make the same point as the rest of the writeup?

I thought it was a pretty cool story.

I used to do this a lot, I even have destroyed several microSDs because of writing and re-writing lots of megabytes on it. But later I understood that silence is also a good thing to listen while walking, especially if you are not a city citizen and have an access to silence.
I'm curious what happens if you look at your returns and other metrics at different time scales, i.e. monthly and weekly, in addition to yearly. You can't make any argument based on a sample size of 2.

As someone who used to work in the industry, I am 99.99% confident that you cannot have any alpha with a system like this, you are basically flipping coins, as some other commenters have pointed out.

Gas was providing Russia a strong leverage in its relationship with Europe.

This leverage is now gone.

It will only make the whole region more unstable, more dependent on other international powers.

I would say it's a very americentric world view. There are a lot of cultures who are the opposite. Or who were the opposite and increasingly turned into a more consumeristic society. I'm not a person that is particularly good at maintenance, but compared to friends I've had from London or bigger US and Canadian cities I've seen a lot of people very surprised when I decided to fix things instead of just buying a new one. Even if its just a 20 buck wallet with a broken seam.

I can already imagine a bunch of people here saying to themselves my hourly rate is worth much more than this 20 bucks wallet and yes, so is mine, but there is something pleasing about not throwing everything away at the first sign of wear.

When you say "Humans simple do NOT" what you really mean is "MY demographic does not". Even in the US or Canada that is very much dependent on the area and the demographic you grew up. I am not at all surprised that people who's only goal in life is to make as much money as people in the valley and who buy a new iphone every 1 or 2 years find the act of maintaining things insane.

Unfortunately this problem has seeped through society in which I would call the proliferation of business school graduates who are now at the top of most business chains and who have traded any long term benefit for short term gains.

I think it depends on how they want to take it. NS ownership is apparently is Russian state property and German private firms. So if an attack then an act of war on Russia and depending on how a German government looked at it either a loss of private property or an indirect blow to German state itself.

> This is not an act of war with Germany.

It can be construed as such, but certainly not by Germany. They are not strong enough to make a stink about it. Powerful states can take offense at the smallest thing. Weaker nations put up with lots of shit. (Is not, for example, what is done to Russia economic warfare? Do you see them declaring war? No. Because they are weaker.)

So boundary of what constitute an act of war is somewhat fuzzy not completely crisp.

> This happened in international waters.

Yes, and NATO waters.

> The pipeline is already shut down. This does not affect Germany's gas supply, as they were already receiving no gas from Nordstream

Addressed multiple times in this thread. Options closed. Decision trees altered. Game theory.

p.s.

A nice map to go with this thread. The remaining functional gas pipelines from Russia to Germany both go through Poland and Ukraine. Both Poland and Ukraine have 'difficult' relations with Germany and 'hostile' relations with Russia.

The obvious cofounder is that people who drink coffee a lot have a higher socioeconomic status, better healthcare quality or a less dangerous job. It's like those studies that show drinking wine raises life expectancy.
I watch MrPete222 on YouTube. He's certainly capable of whipping things up on the lathe on occasion without drawings, and he's no novice, but it's common for him to spend days or a week making a part that you could design in CAD in fifteen minutes. Same with Abom79, Stefan Gotteswinter, Joe Pieczynski, and Tom Lipton. Dan Gelbart is still using the spot welder he made in his youth 30 or 40 years ago.

Some of these guys "eat engineers for breakfast" but they still can't "wake up, ... be presented with a new problem no one else has addressed before, and build a machine to solve it, all before dinner." The timescale for solving novel problems just seems to be a lot longer. Even building a steam engine from a kit is a matter of weeks on a manual machine.

If you need a key copied, a lock pick ground from a street sweeper bristle, a transfer punch made from drill rod, or a weird left-hand screw with a strange thread pitch, they can probably do that before dinner, yeah. But that's because those are well-understood and fairly simple problems.

CNC machining opens up more possibilities, but the timescale is still longer. You don't want to find out your G-code is buggy by crashing a US$150k milling machine; crashing a mill is more like crashing a truck than crashing a computer. So machinists are generally methodical, patient, and careful.

The exact details aren't all nailed down but I'd expect for incoming connections Workers would integrate directly with Spectrum. I don't know what that might mean for pricing, but I imagine we'd find a solution where cost doesn't block people from building cool things.
I don't really care about electric vehicles either -- I think Toyota has its head on straight in this regard. Hybrids are fantastic. Electric vehicles are an important subset of the market, but Toyota makes vehicles that people rely on in the remotest and roughest parts of the world. If you're running drugs in the mountains of El Salvador or running from rebels in the Congo then you want a Toyota, not a Tesla.
>AltDrag

That's awesome, I remember when I was a CS student in college I also fell in love with the alt+drag of windows on Linux and I wanted to bring the same on my Windows PC so I wrote this extremely hacky and very unstable tool: https://github.com/Morgawr/EmptyWM

It was one of my first "open source" projects and a great learning experience, I would never recommend anyone to use it because it was full of bugs (also I haven't touched it in like 10+ years) but I used it every day and it was such a great feeling just being able to improve my own life with tools I created myself. :)
The iPod and the iPhone both felt like big steps at the time. For both of those categories Apple led by example and basically forced everyone to try to fit their example.

What are some example of borrowings from specifically _Iberian_ Romances? Not having looked into it beyond reading a bit about Esperanto's history, I'd always believed what the likes of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto_etymology#Source_lan... said that French and Italian were sources. Of course there would be many Iberian cognates. Even estas which looks very Iberian has a different source https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/esti#Esperanto

Thanks for sharing! Really curious about ML stock market models as they seem extremely difficult to outperform the market consistently over time.

A few questions:

1) Were these stock picks for major stocks / ETFs? Or small market cap stocks?

2) How many people were subscribed to your newsletter?

3) What do you estimate the impact was of creating a “self-fulfilling prophecy” of entering a position and then recommending your subscribers take the same position?

4) Do you think your asset mix outperformed the market by picking high risk / high reward stocks in a bull market? Or picking safe stocks in a bear market? In other words, how do you know the engine wasn’t biased towards the market trend that happened to play out? For example, if I have a basket of tech stocks that would typically outperform in a bull market and flip a coin to buy or short them and guess right, I could outperform the market by chance. How did you account for this?

5) Have you backtested the engine to see what it would have returned in previous years? (Obviously on unseen data, rather than data it used for training)
> The author makes a bunch of tenuous assumptions; that lambda calculus is all about currying

My first thought exactly. Lisp is based on lambda calculus and it doesn't do automatic currying. Multiline lambdas require block delimiters more sophisticated than whitespace; hence they don't work in Python. It's no more complicated than that.
None of them are inherently more difficult to _learn_ but they sure as hell are more difficult to read when everything's peppered with :: and * and &.
Household income of 100,000 (higher than typical) gives 15K per year, or 1250 a month. 8% interest gets you to $376,000 after 14 years. No where near millionaire status. And this is assuming a tax differed investment path such as 401(k), and you still owe taxes out of that when you withdraw (assume 20% for fed/state, if you don't draw it out all at once, gives you around $300k).

Of course, add another decade and you are at millionaire status. Or don't contribute any additional funds, and wait 12 years, and you hit millionaire.
That's why some people want to cancel advanced math classes:

Love the article and these kind of experiments! The only thing I don't like about this, is that CSS has traditionally been used to style the html components, so when doing this:

rect {
x: 8;
y: 8;
width: 1;
height: 1;
fill: yellow;
style transform-box: fill-box;
transform-origin: center;
transform: rotate(45)
}

For me it's confusing since I read it as "all the rects have that x and y" while in this experiment it's actually defining a single instance of a rect. I'd rather prefer the styled components way (in fact I've done few experiments around it) like this:

const Diamond = styled.rect`
width: 1;
height: 1;
fill: yellow;
style transform-box: fill-box;
transform-origin: center;
transform: rotate(45)
`;

Just to clarify, the only person suggesting the graduate students were responsible is the OP. Neither the retraction notice nor the Science news article (https://www.science.org/content/article/something-seriously-...) point to the graduate students.

In fact the Science article points to a more senior member of the team as also being a co-author on a recently retracted article that was retracted for reasons related to the same kind of data.

Moreover, check out the quote from Eremets at the end of the Science article regarding principal investigator Dias' more recent, even more groundbreaking claims: "How is this possible? Everything he touches turns to gold."
News and reports are always making sure to frame it in certain ways. They can't say "perhaps sabotage" because then fingers will start pointing and everything gets on edge.

News is full of "it's just a coincidence, look away" -- speculating is fun, but don't be a conspiracy theorist. Always listen to approved, fact-checked news sources. They'll tell you what to think.

And in this case you need to look at this as anything but sabotage.

How does either of those example demonstrate email contents being used for ad targeting? What I see is just a more convenient UI for displaying what I've bought than searching for the individual receipts in the email archive.

It's a major problem, but it's not new. I worked for a consulting firm (not one anyone here has heard of) and it was an issue with in-person candidates just the same as it is with virtual candidates now. It might be more prevalent now because it's marginally easier to pull it off, but that's about it.

It got to the point where we actually had a manager suggest taking a photo of candidates when they interviewed to confirm that the person coming in when they got hired was the same person.

> but you cannot make an omelet without breaking some eggs.

That's such a benign metaphor that it barely even fits. Saying "you can't make an international peace treaty without murdering a bunch of random vulnerable innocents", and it sounds properly gruesome, although I admit it doesn't roll as trippingly off the tongue.
Thing is, with abundant storage and good search, there's simply no reason to delete anything. Worst case, you'll never look at it again.
The second solution on this page probably isn't reliable, because hwmon paths like `hwmon3` depend on module load order.

I don't see an issue here… He was completely honest about working two jobs at once, to the extent of putting it on his resume.

Surely you'd have followed this up with some questions about how the contracts for those two jobs were worded, or that you'd expect someone to be working full-time for yourselves and wether that would be acceptable?
Worst we ever had was a very promising interviewee whom could not elaborate on any of the things on his resume. When asked about specific technologies listed on his resume, he was unable to speak on any of his experiences.

Finally, out of frustration I just ask him straight out "why did you put these things on your resume if you don't have experience in them?" to which he said "the recruiter told me to".

As far as I'm aware, we never worked with that recruiter again.

Read what I wrote and respond to that or not at all. You can't goad me into "admitting" something I'm not arguing against, because I'm not in some religious anti renewable or pro nuclear or coal cult.

You were wrong if you were reciting the popular prayer "coal is dead, killed by renewables" a few years ago. Hopefully you come to understand that and reflect on what that means for the credibility of the kind of sources you get your information from, and what that means for your ideas about nuclear and other things too.

Having moved from Ireland to the US, I usually can't stand the apple desserts people make and eat here. They are all far too sweet and I realised it's because there are no cooking apples available anywhere. Not only do people not use cooking apples when baking, they also dump way too much sugar and often obscene amounts of cinnamon in with their sweet apples.
Asking why "the narrative building" is happening presupposes it's some sort of coordinated thing, which I don't think it is. I agree that it's been going on since before widespread virtual work (I saw it first-hand almost immediately upon sitting on that side of the interview table). I don't agree that there's any sort of coordinated "narrative building" happening. You just have a bunch of junior managers or folks who have never hired before being shocked that people will try to make a lot of money by less than scrupulous means.
I use Fastmail with my own domain then I use a masked email using the Fastmail.com domain for my registrar account email. Because I login to Fastmail via Fastmail.com, it works fine. Masked emails are tied to a users account forever, too, so I think this method is pretty safe.

Oh damn.

That's some sneaky code injection.

Basically you can add a countable infinity of new countable infinite dimensions to any countably infinite set and get something that's still countably infinite.

That shit still feels wrong to me.
What I meant was I expected numpy to be faster than the js libraries I was testing, simply because people use it so much more, for real "scientific computing" work. And indeed it is very fast given it only uses the CPU, but that still leaves its matrix multiplication as ~100x slower than what my mac is capable of.
