It's not needlessly provocative human neurons have shown in almost every study to be superior to all other animal neurons.

Let the backlash happen and as a society let's put a stop to letting religious idiocy get in the way of science.

There is an entire field of study for ethical science and I stand behind that 100%.

Unethical science can get lost!

I'm not a progress at any costs type of person.

But is this actually unethical or just something a religious idiot doesn't like?
Having just done the drive from Atlanta to Miami this week, it sure seems to me like the math scales. There are some huge solar fields in the southeast these days.
There is no way we could make that many lithium ion cells.
It’s a good first step into unburdening many grads out there, we’ll see how things pan out. Thank you!
This FiveThirtyEight article [0] from 2016 explains your point about debt and graduation a bit more, and gives a nice summary of the typical degrees sought by college students in the US.

This doesn't pass the sniff test. The US has the most capable and dominant naval presence on the planet and they use it. Nothing happens near their territorial waters without their permission and they see it coming long before it happens. The "ghost fleet" fishing incidents -- which are a real concern -- happen to countries with minimal maritime defenses.

You can blame China for many things but this definitely isn't one of them. Episodic fishery collapses are a thing that occurs naturally aside from fishing activity, and the Alaskan fishery is one of the best managed in the world.
Where are you getting this? It’s not an argument, doesn’t have any conclusions and doesn’t require any though experiments. It is not semantics. Most attempts to dodge it are semantics though.
Well.... no. It's only necessary to know whether suffering exists (it does). After that it's sufficient to consider whether there's a greater than zero chance of creating it (there seems to be).

That's enough to say "let's not do this until we have better data".

If it turns out the second step is unknowable, that's enough to say "let's never do this".

These are subjective decisions, and some may suggest that there are gains that outweigh the potential suffering. I am currently unconvinced.
I'm a very terminal heavy Engineering Manager and Technical Lead at a ~600 employees tech startup.

Slack is a tricky one and there are no decent terminal clients available, but I do a LOT of e-mail on mutt as my main client and could not be happier and write all my code in vim. I don't think you can "live" on the terminal, but you can still realistically use it to power a significant part of your work.

I second the need for a good Slack terminal client, or at least a service to proxy Slack to IRC or something like that. The Slack app is super slow.
Plenty of 1-command preconfigured Neovim distributions.

And I want to add that it's Microsoft that is in the wrong here. Their policy of only allowing the usage of their package repository if you are using their proprietary build of VSCode is absurd. It's as if npm disallowed the use of their repositories by yarn and pnpm. We shouldn't tolerate this behavior, specially not from a company that claims to "love open source".

But, Open VSX could and should do more for people to verify the provenance of their packages. There are many ways to do this. Perhaps one way is to have two kinds of packages (readily apparent in the description): one automatically imported from the VSCode marketplace (and guaranteed to match the upstream package exactly), and another kind published specifically for Open VSX.

Right now it seems to be a better security practice to simply ignore the VSCode marketplace terms of use and use it anyway on open source builds (either Code - OSS or VS Codium), instead of using Open VSX. And that's a shitty situation to be in.
life lesson - if its important, pay for a service with support and SLA.

Otherwise, mitigate risk by exporting your communications into your own managed storage.
Money went from the government's big pool of money to a thing the government decided was a good idea. That's literally how all government spending works. We can collectively decide through our system of democracy that education is a good thing and that the single largest source of unsecured debt is probably worth addressing and not have the argument of "but it doesn't affect that group of people." If you want to get incensed about uneven distribution of wealth, get angry that the tax rate for the highest earners is the lowest it's ever been (and no, debt forgiveness doesn't benefit them).

It's also naive to think that relieving debt from the middle class won't benefit the economy in some way. America's middle class goes to college. It's hard to argue that consumers having more money to spend won't drive economic growth.
> Bear in mind that generation is only part of the holistic system of energy delivery. Intermittent sources require storage, which is separated out into a separate chart. Even just 4 hours of storage would bring solar's $30/MW to $210 to $350/MW.

Solar is not $30/MW in any part of the world. The raw module cost is $200/MW (gross) presently and might reach $30 in an optimistic 2050 scenario.

Solar LCOE for recent projects is $15-50/MWh depending on climate and land/labour cost.

> And 4 hours of storage is pretty thin - most plans call for 12 hours of storage. And storage costs are only projected to increase: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/18/ev-battery-costs-set-to-spik...

> By comparison nuclear costs $131-$204/MW, so it's still cheaper after storage. The Lazard estimate also didn't include the transmission expansions necessary to support the distributed nature of renewable generation (explained further here: https://www.vox.com/videos/22685707/climate-change-clean-ene...)

There's no reason to compare a peaking storage facility to a net capacity buffer one.

For the use case of 8-12hr storage you can use the same inverter and frequency matching equipment as the solar panels use. If transformers are a cost factor then why would you transform the energy three times at 4-6x the needed power load? Put it in a battery on site and decrease the size of your solar farm's inverter. You need to add an efficient buck charger for the battery but that will cost much less than the money you saved from the smaller inverter. At current grid storage prices of $260/kWh you need about 7 years. Give it a year for price spikes related to EV adoption to settle and you only need 3 years -- sodium ion batteries are well on the path to industrialisation.

In the counterfactual world where you're offering guaranteed $130-200/MWh for 60 years and guaranteed loans and free insurance building such a system from solar and battery would be immensely profitable,
Seems like local power generation for local air conditioning would lessen the grid load and operational reduce costs. The government should invest in no/low interest loans for homes and businesses to install enough solar to power their A/Cs.
This seems to work ok on a 3080Ti, even under WSL2. Nice!
For larger files I'm getting errors for maximum token + prompt length - is there an easy way to tweak these limits for the client? I think the Copilot client needed some overrides for Fauxpilot for this, so hoping Gitlab client has that too.
Did the crypto community see this coming?

It always seemed pretty obvious that the government would succeed in doing this. It seemed inevitable.

Modula-2 is a great language! So happy to see this, I hope it gains traction
Given how valuable 0-day container escape exploits are and how knowledgeable the people are who host this, it would seem to make sense economically to host this for free with the explicit hope that someone does in fact escape and pwn the box, assuming they can log enough to determine the method of exploit and be able to reproduce it.
1) That doesn't actually exist yet.
2) You would need a huge number of generators to actually generate enough electricity to power the entire US.
It is a legitimate risk of your proposal.
Combined CFD simulation and interactive raytracing
You've set a new record for absurdity of an HN comment.

No, grid storage does not require violating the laws of physics. Indeed, it doesn't even need 20th century science to be done in a scalable way (see pumped thermal storage). The main problem with grid storage is trying to figure out which of the many possible solutions will come out on top.
The articles title is saying this is how to be local. When you say do this not that, the other is some how not authenticaly local
I use GA power, so I'm building these 'damn nukes'... But I also allow GA power to automatically turn off my water heater, and GA power lets me sell my solar during peak load, and GA power lets me pay $0.01/kWh overnight to charge up batteries...

So, I guess my point is, why are you reducing a panacea of mutually beneficial options down to a binary decision?
> Your point about "legitimacy" is right on. In data visualization the goal is finding the most useful (least misleading) transform of the data, not raw fidelity.

I made no point about legitimacy. The fact remains. It is a real time visualisation. It’s interesting to consider what’s currently flying above. It’s not a collision estimation tool.

> Bingo. The "scariness" comes from (where else?) the collision probability, and our estimate thereof.

There is nothing scary about the probability of collision however. Even when you take the very large safety margin the monitoring organisations like to take probability is very low.

>>I don't get why they equate Picasso with Hitler. That seems pretty extreme.

That seems non-sensical! What about Picasso, either as a person or as a painter, is sinful?

Not if you actually need a surgery. If you need a surgery you can generally get one pretty quickly and with little complication. Getting a prescription for Adderall from a responsible doctor when you actually need it can take months and multiple visits to a psychiatrist.
What is your stance on "canceling" mortgage and credit card debt?

Like college debt, it was taken on willingly and its hard to argue that consumers having more money to spend won't drive economic growth.
I wrote a fair amount of Modula-2 back in the mid 90'ties. Used the TopSpeed Modula-2 compiler and produced both DOS and OS/2 executables from the same source code.
lsp-zero is a good way to get a completion running without configuring many plugins...it installs several of the above.
If your app has a vulnerability someone can exploit it and gain access to your home server.

Best pragmatic approach I found when I needed to expose a service from home was to configure port knocking - the port would appear closed until I sent a series of tcp port open attempts in a particular sequence.
There's a lot of finger pointing and political fallout from what is partly a situation caused by the end of Moore's law
They issue you a PIN via mail when they report your file is frozen with which you can use to unfreeze and refreeze the report. I’ve originated two auto loans with a credit union and have had a major US bank originate a mortgage with my report frozen. In all above cases, only the mortgage required docs; paystubs and W2s, no Work Number. Might have an issue if your HR won’t verify employment for renting admittedly. I don’t rent, so I can’t speak to that.

Bank accounts and utilities will use your credit file, not your employment data, to underwrite you.

Interesting project thank you THC.
These appear to be the relevant changes:

2022-07-30: https://github.com/madler/zlib/commit/eff308af425b67093bab25...

The second commit definitely fixed a null pointer dereference, I am not sure if the CVE is referencing something else that was fixed by the first commit.
They want the attention, regardless of truth. It spans from saying something absolutely stupid or known-false to making a typo/mistake that is getting the engagement because of mockery... but they don't care about the mockery. It's like MTG complaining about "gazpacho police" - do you really think she doesn't know the right word?

The game is to get engagement/retweets from both sides: those that agree with your regardless of what's true (they know your general stance on an issue) and those that will mock you for mistakes and still give you wider reach.

For example complaining about the litter box is a stand-in for "I don't agree with trans rights" that's going to give you way more attention for the same basic message. (with the extra benefit of not being on the record for saying that)
Combined cycle power plants cost about $1/W; simple cycle, about $0.50/W. Combustion turbines are cheap. A nuclear plant, $10/W.

We could back up the entire damned grid with these things at a cost small compared to the cost of powering that grid with nuclear power plants.

As for "not actually existing yet", that's not anything close to a valid argument. Also, hydrogen storage doesn't require anything new -- all the component technologies exist, they just have to be integrated. This is the easiest and surest kind of innovation. It would be nice if higher demand drive electrolysers down their experience curve some more, I will admit. Cheaper is always nice.
It shouldn't require retraining, nope. I believe for INT4 there is a small adapter layer added that needs to be trained, but it is small and wouldn't require much data or computation to do so. Will know more once we actually start implementing :)
As a hypothetical, you’re arguing that society should have more sympathy for your wife’s family than GP’s partner’s family?

How exactly are we supposed to litigate a “wife’s family vs other wife/husband’s family” debate in these terms? Did the people working low-wage jobs spend time on food stamps? Section 8? Subsidized phone service?

If the answer is no, do you think that people working low-income jobs do not, on average, take advantage of public money in any way?
Remember which website you are on, and it's community standards.
It is definitely not the latter and that’s what makes it unfair. If it was fair, they would cut the same $10K check to everyone that had paid for higher education in the last X years and meets the income criteria.
> link to more on indigenous/pre-colonial overfishing of oysters in Hudson Bay?

Sure! It’s from this book [1].

Decreasing oyster size (implying younger harvests) in New York mounds was explicitly contrasted with the sustainable extraction from the Chesapeake Bay. (None of your sources mention the Hudson.)

Better delineation than capitalist and indigenous might be trading and non-trading.

> trigger warning

This is a needless way to undercut oneself. (It’s also mean.)

I imagine it's similar to working groups [0], but keeping the term the same when only one person is in the working group, hence single engineer (working) group. Basically, parse `group` as in `working group` as a single term of art, rather than literally meaning a colloquial group, ie 2 or more individuals.

honestly, fuck your conscience. sometimes you only realize if a new job is worth staying or leaving once you're a couple weeks or months in.

i really wish you got friends there you could ask for recommendations, they know you better and warm referrals from them are better too. they might have ideas on better-run companies that suits you well :)
Of course that's just the first (coarse) filter. Once you've selected for those who actually want to solve the problem (and not just "be" the one who solves it) there is still the the incredibly fine filter of who actually has the ability- that confluence of nature/nurture that is itself such a subject of debate.
I don’t know if they’re “just entering into the public consciousness”. Growing up in the 90s my parents obsessively followed the “zone” diet by Barry Sears. As I recall his books were bestsellers.

The book talked in detail about the carbohydrate/insulin relationship, and the diet revolved around keeping down glycemic load by managing macros and choosing low glycemic-index carbs. It was meant to be a sustainable way of eating rather than a temporary “weight-loss” diet.

I don’t know if that stuff stayed in the public consciousness at all (it seems to have faded like other fad diets.) But it was the first systematic nutrition system I encountered and it had an influence on how I eat. When I started, I counted macros, but I got tired of that pretty quickly and rough estimates seem to get most of the same benefit.
I’ve never heard anyone say that.
Not the DuckDuckGo version, from what I can see.
> But it doesn’t actually demonstrate that his anecdote is fabricated. How does this portion of the article make it past the editor? It’s entirely possible that his story is completely made up. It is also possible that it’s not made up.

It seems to me that, if such a claim is made, that it’s much easier for the people making the claim to back up their claim with evidence. In this case, if one is claiming that a school is putting in litter boxes for children who identify as cats, then provide evidence. For example: what school, specifically? Sorry, saying a “friend’s wife” is insufficient.

How would you even demonstrate that the anecdote is fabricated? Isn’t that like proving a negative? Wouldn’t one, for example, need to do an exhaustive search of every school to disprove it? Or, identify all of Joe Rogan’s friends who are married with wives working in schools and contact those schools.

I’m somewhat partial to the line of thinking wherein if you make a claim (particularly one that’s unexpected), that it’s your responsibility for providing evidence to support your claim.
Now imagine this: if we could do this, we could just as well put a shade in front of Venus. We could cool Venus as much as we want, in particular we could cool it to below the freezing temperature of CO2. All the CO2 in the atmosphere would fall to the surface. The pressure would decrease from the current 93 bar to very nearly 1 bar (the pressure on Earth). A factor of 3.5 comes from the lowering of the temperature (from about 700K to 200K) and another factor of 30 from the disappearance of the CO2, which currently represents 96.5% of the Venusian atmosphere

How long would it take for this to happen? Most likely just a few years.

But how do you make Venus habitable? If you let more light come through, the temperature goes up, but so does the CO2. You need to first sequester the CO2.

We would need to plant trees on Venus. Initially, we'll put them in some greenhouses. Besides CO2, trees need water and oxygen, but not a lot of oxygen, because once they get started, they create oxygen from CO2. As for water, there's very little of it on Venus, but there's plenty of clouds of sulfuric acid, from which we could make water. After that trees would need nitrogen, and Venus has plenty. Also potassium and phosphorus. I'm not sure if they'd be easy to source.
Psychologists encourage patients to seek out psychiatrists if they believe medication is likely to help a patient. Psychiatrists aren't the same as pharmacists, they are an active part of your treatment plan. I would suggest you take some time to understand the end goal of treatment and why people seek treatment. The goal is not to make patients docile.
> Recently, we did have a very globally similar response to a world wide event, and I'm not at all surprised that during that time the rich managed to make themselves much richer and the middle class has mostly taken the hit. If that's a hint to what "globalism" has to offer, you can keep it. We'll have to figure out the fishing problem some other way.

You're probably talking about the world wide COVID response, and yes, it was an utter failure. But it was not because of globalism... it was a failure because every country tried to tackle it themselves, incompetently, in their own little vacuum, and the sum total across the world ended up uncoordinated and half-assed. If ever there was an ideal time for "technocracy" and letting the experts take charge worldwide, it was during a global deadly pandemic, but we all blew it.

So, uh... how do you (the creator of the service) know that, without doing some sort of data tracking?

For that matter, how do you know that someone's not grabbing 10,000 of these to run a botnet?
Celebrating 50 years of the Unix Operating system (2018)
I mainly think of PD ports in reference to charging, not data. I know dock PD ports do both, so I know data+PD is possible, but can my laptop's USB-C port support PD in both directions (charging and powering a peripheral)?. That's my main question -- most of my exposure to PD is with charging only... not powering peripherals. I know I can charge my phone with my laptop, but I've never looked to see how fast it is charging.

And more importantly, what do available chips support? How easy is it to get chips that support PD + data?

This isn't my area of expertise, so I was hoping someone would be able to say -- Yes, it's possible, I do this all the time. Or -- it's theoretically possible, but not widely supported, so no one does it.
Or, alternatively, if this is actually legal.

Congress holds the powers of the purse and this is an executive order by a president a few weeks away from midterm elections. This is going to be litigated.
No argument there. They were definitely not going after the "luxury" market segment (and still don't)
At one point there were major shortages and difficulty finding GPUs. It was kind of insane in that environment not to raise prices, and hand the fruits of their work to scalpers/middle men.

If people don’t want to pay inflated prices they should just not, and ultimately the problem should solve itself.
If nuclear is not going to power the world, then renewables will have to. If nuclear supplies any substantial portion of the world's energy demand the issues I raised will bite. So to allow nuclear to evade those issues for ~1 generation of nuclear plants, renewables would have to supply almost all the world's energy demand. So that means storage will have to be solved (as nuclear would be horribly unsuited to covering outages in a renewable energy system.)

Given that renewables and storage will have to be made to work, and are likely to be cheaper, I don't see the point of nuclear in this scenario.
> After that it's sufficient to consider whether there's a greater than zero chance of creating it (there seems to be).

That is a Kantian, deontological approach, an ethical framework not shared by all. The utilitarian would ask how much suffering would be caused as compared to how much good it would produce.
I think it's a genuine comment, their others seem to be.
