You don't need fast charge for every joule. A regular 20A cord (or 2A 1kV to reduce copper investment) can keep a car topped up just fine. Then the only issue is producing enough net watts per week (which dovetails excellently with variable production)

If we correct our insane legal framework around the use of streets then a vehicle which consumes 100W average when in use, charges itself with a single 300W panel and does 20mph covers 95% of uses.

Either option is vastly more viable than a multi trillion dollar handout for infrastructure to help sell luxury cars.
Wonderful idea, great achievement. The illustration A/Bing it against a browser is inspiring. And Truetype font support, damn son! Can't wait to delve into it more. One of those things that should have been done years ago. Congratulations and thank you!
I actually don't understand how they do tensile strength testing between steel and silk - doesn't silk stretch or yield?
The problem I see with guard rails is that it's very hard to know if you're doing statistics right, due to its nature.

Inference is sometimes hard enough on its own (and I sometimes use computational methods in addition to theory just to double-check my results, but that's just the innermost layer.

Outside of that you have to define appropriate and efficient samples, which is more difficult. You have to know what population you're actually interested in, which is less obvious than it sounds like, and on top of that you have to pick an experimental/observational method that minimises error and ideally lets you quantify it -- extremely hard in most practical cases.

Add to that the fact that the outcome of statistical analysis might often be, "well, we still don't know anything meaningful!" But if you say that, someone else will sound more confident and guess who people will listen to?

----

The way out is not guard rails, it's much better training from earlier ages. This stuff is hard and we are not born with intuition for it. We need lots of practise.

I still don't get why there's so much analysis and calculus in our curricula -- those are problems we can solve with numerical (sometimes statistical) methods. We ought to replace at least half off that with more probability and statistical inference and experimental design.
Maybe I should have included this small note previously, (I had figured it was a small typo or something) but, x cos(x) / (2pi) does not actually produce integers for integer values of x (other than for x=0) .

I imagine what you mean is more along the lines of x cos(pi x) ? However, this does not produce the sequence -1,1,-2,2,... either.
Rather, it produces -1,2,-3,4,...

Which, again, can be produced with (-1)^x • x , not using any trig functions.
I suppose one might object that (-1)^x doesn’t have real values for non-integer values of x, but I’m not sure why that should be super relevant to the “what does this sequence of numbers indicate”.

If you want a formula for -1,1,-2,2,-3,3,... then, well, there’s the one I posted earlier, using the floor or ceiling function, or if one wanted one could come up with something for it using multiple uses of trig functions, but it would be inelegant.
I haven't had any cavity in over a decade. However, there is a Huge hole on top a molar about which I am worried. But the dentist always says it is not a problem.

Maybe a feature like that one can turn into a bad cavity when dental hygiene is abandoned for a short time?. I hope I don't find out!

> If you don't have 'equal free speech' then you don't have 'free speech', full stop.

Not at all. Free speech is not binary.

More is better, & the cultures that have consistently had more speech tolerance than elsewhere - like the US, in its formal documents & actual practices – are showing that free speech is a more central value to them.
Sure, if the CIA and NSA grief people without cause using something like DDoS, you have my permission to call them goons. Does that help?
Your story illustrates one of the difficult things about alcohol, which is that people who drink don't belong in one category. It's unhelpful to think of people with a "problem" as alcoholic, IMO.

All of these situations are tricky in their own ways. Yours is tricky in that you can go for a while without a drink and it seems you can stop in one night long enough to feel horrible (as opposed to continuing to drink until you pass out and push off the horrible feeling until the morning.)

I skimmed through the comments and noticed a few which perked my interest.

One is identifying with a drinking culture. We're bombarded by references to drinking in all forms of culture. People who drink, may do so in part because they identify with that culture. Drinking culture becomes part of them. In that case, I think just being aware of this and picking it apart in your own life can help move away from it. Then actively manage it within your personal relationships.

Another is being aware of the urges which arrive, and then simply observing them without acting on them. When you have an addiction, part of the difficulty of moving away from it is that voice which tells you that you should get that thing. It can be a convincing and creative voice. As with the above item, just being aware of it and picking it apart can help.

Some do like that "warm glow" feeling of a few drinks at times. That's fine for those people, but the time to stop is when you feel like you want or need to stop. The trouble is that a small drinking habit can spiral into a big drinking habit if the conditions are right. If you're already concerned, then it's good to cut it out completely.

From the article: “As it turns out, “don’t break the Web” is the number one design principle for HTML, CSS, JavaScript…”. So window.alert() is safe for all time? More breathtaking hypocrisy from Google.
I can't imagine that an entire article making generalizations and stereotypes about a gender is going to provoke a lot of useful discussion. Imagine if this were an article warning men about Toxic Women by dividing them into categories like @golddigger, @pregnancychaser, or @falseaccuser and equating feminists with Nazis.

Seriously, this kind of thing is not productive, or helpful.
Probably "during" the accident lol.
Not everything that disagrees with you is ad hominem and not knowing something is not a shame. But it does not make for good discussion if you're not engaging with the arguments.
Environmentalism and humanitarianism are two different things. I consider myself an environmentalist, and I wouldn't say the focus is so human-centric as you mention or even human-centric at all aside from understanding humans are nearly the sole source of problems in the environment. Environmentalism, to me at least, is to gain empathy for the environment and all its inhabitants and to take a holistic approach. Also to me, humanitarianism is about addressing solvable problems to end immediate suffering of humans.

Nuclear threats are rather abstract at present and basically not preventable in any remotely deterministic way. We could focus on it for a century, only for a hardware failure, software bug, or a simple accident to launch a nuclear missile. That doesn't even take into consideration the power dynamics I mentioned or terrorism. Do we have any clue whatsoever as to how Putin, Jinping, and Trump came to power and stayed in power? Or any clue of terrorism. We don't. If we do in some cases, the cause is not a solvable problem. It's super complex.

So, nuclear threats are abstract, opaque, but yet simultaneously can materialize out of thin air at a moment's notice. However, there are environmental and humanitarian problems that we can start working on and solving today, with actionable solutions.

I'm currently drinking moderately but I've had periods where I haven't drank for a long time (years to months) and also periods where I've drank way too much and would say had an addiction. I drank something almost every night of the week and at least once or twice a week was drunk. Every time I had hangover I promised myself I would quite but in a couple of days I was drinking away. What helped me quit in the end was a combination of counselling, disulfiram and an LSD trip. Not sure if any of those alone would have helped to quit the binge but together they helped me quit the destructive habits and form new ones.

Nowadays (after many many years) I'm again drinking alcohol (I try to keep it on weekends) but the urge to get drunk is gone luckily. Still there have been slippery slopes where I have accidentally drink couple too many but still it never leads to excessive drinking, I rather go to sleep then.

This whole push has felt like one of those GREAT IDEAS you get with your buddies while drunk (in his case probably doing ayahuasca with Jack Dorsey and the other techie guys) and then you're kind of embarrassed the next day, but Zucc didn't figure out that second part and is like "GUYS! THE METAVERSE! WE'RE DOING IT!" while everyone else is busy forgetting they ever said it.
It sounds like both issues require public education.
There is also the massive problem of torture and confessions through torture being so commonplace in movies and TV, which makes people more comfortable with it. It also gives people the false idea that it's effective.

In the real world (and the article here is a good example of it), generally most confessions from torture tend to be false because people will make up whatever they think they need to say to make it stop (unless they're trained to resist it, but obviously in that case they'll feed the interrogator false information).
If we're not supposed to be scared into action about the most existential threat facing humanity right now when is being scared justified?
Yeah, those are both good points; I brought out the quote as that's what the op's thought reminded me of, but the terminology is more appropriate to McCarthy's villain than the material world.

That said, I am a little up the hill where it's wetter (and will hopefully remain so). If we stopped upkeep on the place I live, I am not confident that obvious traces of it would outlast the cliff dwellings at, say, Mesa Verde.
This article is an excellent example of how poorly informed authors (and voters) can get Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) wrong.

The basic premise of RCV is that by listing second, third and more (if needed) choices, your vote will go a candidate that is more acceptable to you than others. Of course if only one candidate is acceptable to you and that candidate is at the bottom of a round, you have left the decision to the other voters.

The author declares such ballots as "exhausted" or "thrown out" when in fact they have become blank ballots, or could be called 2nd, 3rd or 4th round abstentions.

Less well known is that RCV gives voters the means to effectively vote AGAINST a candidate particularly unacceptable to them simply by ranking other candidates above.

No, the equivalent is eating your meal in the toilet.

I'm from the US and always have had a car but since highschool have spent any "social time" like lunch locked in a toliet stall because I am terrified of people and people don't seem to like me either.

I also eat in my car but first need to drive to a secluded spot.
Yet, some people can clearly get used to such things. Boats have been in use for a lot of history...

Doesn't mean that all people can get used to it though. Or that it's worth the effort.
You're right, Google is much worse.
I've recently switched from Firefox to Orion.
Ideologically, I'm Firefox all the way - But even in beta, Orion is such a better browser.

I get the occasional tab freeze / crash, and it has some glitches with Google Docs / Sheets, but it just feels so much faster and uses much less RAM too
I'm getting scared about people trying to relate cultural homogeneity with happiness in these threads, sorry. Homogeneity is boring.
I used to put away a liter of vodka a night. I kept it up for years, accumulating a solid decade of heavy drinking. I was miserable. It was souring my relationship. The stress from work, personal life, and declining mental state of course made me feel even more compelled to drink. I was becoming a shell of my former self, and my dreams were becoming strictly that.

I had a confluence of events that changed my course:

1. I attended a tech conference where someone I personally knew who had went through rehab was hosting and speaking, and he was filled with a vivacity I hadn’t seen from him before.

2. My spouse gave me an ultimatum to quit or he’d be out the door. It wasn’t the first time he had said this, but I had a feeling it was probably going to be the last.

3. My progression in life was stalling. I couldn’t keep up commitments anymore, and I was starting to feel like I had already passed my peak.

So I quit. Cold Turkey. It was a dangerous, stupid thing to do, but I knew if I tried to taper off, I’d just slide back. The withdrawals were nightmarish, and I was lucky I didn’t die from it. But I pulled through, and then started to do some heavy soul searching for why I ever picked up the bottle — what was I escaping from? And I found those answers, and got to work — A real kind of personal work that most people will never have to put into themselves.

Since then, I have been a cofounder, jumped multiple levels in my career, and have been working towards several academic publications, on top of drastically improving my personal life. It’s been nearly five years since I put down the bottle. And every day I choose to never pick it up again.

If you scroll down a bit there's a wireframe of the skeleton which is what's actually being animated, and you'll notice it's lacking in bones to define the fingers or even possibly hands. Hence why the hands maintain that weird pose throughout all examples.

My gut says that the quality could be rapidly improved without changing the underlying design at all.

The real issue with this, I think, is that motion capture for humans is already widely available and provides much higher fidelity and control than text. Unless I'm misreading the paper badly, this model was trained on exactly such data. Blending between multiple animations through motion capture is also well-understood.

So while the results are impressive, the practical gains seem very marginal. I think perhaps that the equivalent to "inpainting" (as mentioned in the text) and "style transfer" would be the big gain here? If we could use this to retarget animations to different body plans (child, adult, space monster) quickly, or for smarter interpolation between human-authored keyframes, I could see that being a much-desired tool.
Well-being is not happiness, it is just a condition for it.
It looks like two provisions it doesn't natively support, but you can slap on a 3rd party tool and you're in business. This is still much better than using two completely different vendors for your collaboration and cloud tools.
Its a power tool though. Opt-in should be fine. There are a few free look implementations and they're not that bad, anyway.

In my mind the bigger issue is games are just not designed for free look and it doesn't even make all that much sense. Heads clipping through walls is already an annoying problem without the assumption the user can fly anywhere.

I think supporting stick movement and crouch or fixed height seems like something that might be standard if we end up seeing some AAA experiences.
I stopped a couple years ago and really didn't intend to. The idea was to hit the pause button for a while, as my wine intake was becoming too regular. I had quit cigarettes long ago w/ a packaged plan. What I remember about it was that it came w/ a card on which you were told to list the things you'd gain, the benefits you'd reap, by quitting smoking.

So I made the same list for stopping drinking and it worked better than I expected. I won't tell you what was on my list, as it would sound preachy. I would recommend making your own list. Spend a few minutes on it & try to be exhaustive. If you frame your goal not as removing a negative but as gaining a set of positives, it may reorient your thinking & get you to your goal. It did in my case.
Brave is adding vertical tabs. It's currently available via flag on Nightly and Dev. Hope they add nested tabs also!
Guardrails is actually an apt term.

Just because you train people not to peer over the edge doesn't mean there's no need for safeguards. (Death Star laser operating platform, I'm looking at you!).

And just because there's safeguards doesn't mean you stop warning people not to peer over the edge.

The implicit assumption in your text is that if there's a guardrail, people will be leaning all day. Whereas my experience is that if there isn't, people will try that stuff regardless, and keep falling off the platform.

MooTools is simply setting a value to a property that did not exist before the assignment. It isn't using Object.defineProperty() to create the property. You cannot call Object.defineProperty() twice for the same property (it throws an error).

If assigning a value to a property that was previously defined as non-enumerable were to make it enumerable, then the very act of defining a property would have no value, except in the case where you are making a read-only property (ie using the "writable: false" option for Object.defineProperty).
regardless of whether the tool is useful or garbage, at least it's written in rust
Yeah, and the whole certification process is way more complex than that. To use the example I’m familiar with, Azure as a whole is FedRAMP High for all US regions. However, if you need to you need to handle DoD IL5 data or justice data, you need to go to Azure Government because they have even stricter personnel screening requirements than FedRAMP. Except the DoD didn’t like sharing a region even with other US Government customers, so there are also a exclusive DoD regions as well.

That’s not because Microsoft is trying to market segment. Turns out different parts of the government love making things hard on their suppliers by insisting they are special. I seriously doubt google actually manages to negotiate the minefield that is contracting and CISOs with conflicting requirements like the GP is dreaming of, but cool if they can.
I had the same transition process from omnivore -> vegetarian and vegetarian -> vegan. It was hard at first, largely because of ingrained habit, but it gradually became revulsion as you describe. You have motivated me to try sobriety, thanks.
There’s some decent criticism in the video. I don’t really understand the hate on the bot. Of course it looks less impressive when compared to companies doing robotics for decades.

Also, as someone that does private equity, I will never not cringe when people pulls out charts. It’s true TSLA is down… but that goes for Rivian and Ford too, in fact, those companies are doing “worse” using the video’s criteria. If you’re trying to use returns to imply a company is doing “bad” - you would measure its divergence from similar companies, sector or market as a whole.

Other than that, I do wish people would stick to the legitimate criticism, because the rest of the video does a decent job of that. I really admire Musk for just how well he has pushed multiple industries over the years… but he could also learn to just chill a bit.

I wish you luck. One data point: my story. Not a recipe, but maybe something helpful.

I drank hard from high school through grad school and into mid life. I was high-performing and functional, and I am told that I was nicer when drunk than sober. I could never stop at 2 drinks. I tried and swore to stop many times. Never held.

One day 12 years ago, I had my last drink. It was a bender. The next morning I swore I'd stop, similar to many times before. I cannot explain why I stopped that time and not earlier. Day 1 sober was easy. Day 14 was hard, but I didn't go back. But I did count the days, and had pride in collecting sober days. It was an internal counter I had early on. I also knew that 1/2 measures wouldn't work. I would need to reset back to day 0 if I had even a sip or just one. I really didn't want to reset my counter. At some point I stopped counting days, and was counting weeks, and then months. Now I count years, and expect to count decades.

Slipping is not a character flaw, and it's not helpful to beat yourself up. Acknowledge it, sleep it off and move on. Quitting was not a matter of willpower. I did go cold turkey, but I cannot claim it's because I'm strong or anything special. I'm lucky. I believe my wiring changed that night, the balance never tilted back to where it was for me. Maybe the right combo of neurons got pruned. I don't know. I don't really know what was so different about that night for me, but that was it. And it absolutely was not willpower or mind over matter or anything like that. I just changed. And because of my experience, I believe the "willpower" argument is destructive and insulting. People who offer such advice don't understand. I'm lucky. I changed. That's it. My willpower had nothing to do with it.

Over time I discovered that habits matter a great deal. I discovered I needed to develop new ways to fill time since large blocks of weekends were no longer booked with me rendered mentally useless. I also had to develop new social skills, since I could no longer rely on the "nice" me. I also eventually realized how lucky I was that nothing really bad ever happened to me.

This is an issue with both mental and physical health implications. Asking for help is a good start.

Again, I wish you luck.
