It's interesting the differing attitudes people have to electric versus gas engine yard equipment. To me gas engines bring up memories of my dad, grandpa, and uncle troubleshooting mowers that won't start, making a mess while trying to mix gas and oil for two-stroke engines, and taking stuff apart to clean it. So to me electric means just getting the job done reliably without wasting a bunch of time getting dirty before I can even start the actual work. But to other people electric means weak and slow with poor runtime, while gas means the power to get a job done quickly.

Fun fact: they still sell new battery operated mowers that use lead-acid batteries, which obviously won't last more than one mowing season. I feel bad for people who get scammed like this, because who would know that they need to check their new mower isn't using a half-sized car battery?

I have a standing rule that anybody who mentions "Igon Value" to me gets a 3x3 matrix eigenvalue problem to solve, because I rather strongly suspect that most people (not you) who bring "igon value" up are trying to claim credit on the basis of little more than knowing how to spell the word. If I ever meet Pinker, bet your life that I'm going to bring up Gladwell to him. :)

Adding grain is a great way to uniformly mask out whatever imperfections that couldn't be edited out. I would do that if I felt lazy and don't want to spend all the time removing dust from my photos.

But even then, I would only add grain via some filter that has a "grain" parameter built in. I suspect adding just grain without other effects to go with it would not be an improvement in general.

I feel like Gladwell is saved by keeping most of his analysis confined to bland, abstract, business-friendly topics, while Lewis does something much more akin to traditional reporting. They are both frequently and flagrantly wrong, but Lewis's wrongness is more consequential. Also, Gladwell is a better writer.

Hopefully Software Freedom Conservancy's GPL compliance lawsuit against Vizio will result in more of the necessary source code becoming publicly available, merged into existing operating systems like OpenWRT, Alpine or Debian and then projects like Kodi or KDE Plasma Bigscreen ported to run on top.

Problem being that calories aren't all made the same. Proteins takes more work to release their energy. Roughage like flax seed passes straight through. Even the amount you chew your food can move the needle. So, sure, if you're eating purely junk food like the sibling commenter mentions, you're probably hitting pretty close to the CICO limit. But caloric restriction is really hard to accomplish for some people, myself included, because it's physically painful. And then you look at something like how many miles you need to ride a bike just to match your basal metabolic rate, and people just give up. The CICO mantra is completely unhelpful. It doesn't capture the whole picture, and it sends people on a spiral to failure.

So yeah, the good-display screen and the waveshare ones I think are the exact same hardware, not really sure 100% on that. I wasn't really using an API, I just used the SPI interface directly and implemented my own API on top (in fact I made a simple TLV protocol over USB to drive the RP2040 zero, which then performs the right SPI magic to drive the chip in the display which then.... the number of processors in this setup seems excessive)

Effectively I had to piece together some clues. There was the manual for the screen which gave the definition of the SPI protocol in use, and the commands you could send, what they did, screen startup sequence etc. They mentioned waveforms and modes a bit but it was frustratingly incomplete and it looked like there were gaps in the commands described. Then there was a youtube video of a guy showing how he'd implemented fast refresh on some other model of screen by uploading custom waveforms, who mentioned looking for waveforms in sample code and for chip specifications. This lead me to the original docs for the driver chip on my display (an ultrachip UC8179) which had the missing commands specified. Using these along with the waveform (LUT) definitions supplied by the vendor when I asked them for some, allowed me to make the fast mode.

I presume some commands were missed out of the vendor document as a lot of them were non-essential, and possibly could cause harm(?). Certainly the wrong waveforms could lead to poor performance or no performance. Also the chip spec document didn't give some of the higher level "Here is the startup sequence for your screen" flow chart niceties of the vendor doc.

(The waveforms are literally describing how the screen should apply voltages to transition a pixel from one colour to another. The default ones that the screen ships with are good for a 'full' refresh of the pixel, but you can get away with a lot fewer, faster voltage switches for B/W, at the cost of quality declining over time, which you reset with a periodic 'full' refresh)

> deteriorate productivity in ways that will be difficult to understand

Exactly! This can be very difficult to quantify; as this kind of debt is undetectable by standard gates (linter, static analysis, etc.). Instead, it is more nefarious... introducing coupling, where none was needed, or long-winded tests; that test very little, and make the code hard to refactor. I don't have a measure for this beyond my intuition of working with code for decades.

What makes it all worse, is when the features are 'delivered' and marked as 'complete' by these folks, they are difficult to take back! Especially if their delivery was identified as a key objective to a quarter.

I'm not sure what your point is.

It's good to have prominent articles aimed at the same people who read HBR that give a corrected view.

> Are business leaders the people best equipped to evaluate environmental issues

It doesn't matter if they are the best equipped. The point is that they are making these decisions based on sources of information they trust like HBR.

That information needs to be corrected.
The problem with the position that you're attempting to justify is that you are creating a false dichotomy; aggrieved men cannot have sex without responsibility and so you feel it's within reasonable purview to apply arbitrary restrictions on what a women can do with their body.

I don't have to like your opinion, and I don't have much confidence that anyone here will change it. However, the reason I spoke up in the first place was to point out that the first step towards bodily autonomy is the acknowledgement of basic human equality.

The assertion that [you/men/the state] should have any input in whether to "allow" someone to make adult decisions about their body because of their sex is repugnant.

Go fight for men's rights, if you feel that is what you need to do... but leave women out of it. The opposite of women's rights is not men's rights.

> Why not keep doing the thing that's provably working.

So nuclear then? Plants take on average 1-year longer than natural gas plants and a single nuclear plant produces thousands of hectares worth of solar panels with a tiny fraction of the resource usage. We have viable and in-use grid-scale U-235, Pu-239, and Th-232 reactors. We also have viable and in-use military operated U-233 breeder reactors in multiple nations that are in active production. Converting from a military design to a grid-scale design isn't really that hard as you loosen a ton of the space and thermal management requirements making manufacturing, operation, and maintenance cheaper.

> So a technology that hasn't made it to the test bench

The technology is fully proven in test reactors. The first 5 grid-scale reactors being built in the USA are part of a US Department of Energy program looking to create shovel-ready Th-232 SMR designs. There isn't a shortage of any of the isotopes we'd need for nuclear. Even if we used only U-235 and Pu-239 reactors using existing reserves to replace all current and projected global energy needs, we'd have 79 years to find more fuel or build something else. Meanwhile, with solar and wind, we still haven't figure out how to cheaply and safely store the energy to smooth the power supply curve. We could buy ourselves over 79 years to figure this out by building nuclear with only existing grid-scale technologies starting today.

>Say the first thing that comes to mind when you think “Coca Cola.” Say it out loud, don’t edit.

Shit company. Or maybe "red metallic can", which is the first thing I pictured when I read "coca cola". TBH I didn't think of anything in particular when I read "coca cola", I didn't have a particular reaction.
It has been a few years since I did the calculations for my place, but if I put in my natural gas price ($1.05/therm), it is coming out near even. At which point, the initial costs and maintenance costs would be a factor, and back then, a heat pump with a capacity comparable to a gas furnace was much more expensive.

So maybe the parameters have changed, but I also like that my gas furnace can be counted on at any temperature, plus it is not subject to electricity outages. Perhaps I would do both heat pump and gas furnace going toward, the furnace as backup for the heat pump and get the best of both worlds.

This is a little bit of a tangent. The specific case of the Kardashians is unimportant to the overall point, which is that there are reasons to be interested in things that we perceive as frivolous or vapid. When hundreds of millions of people are interested in something, it's almost never frivolous or vapid when you learn more about it.

> I don't think she believes in falsehoods about the Kardashians.

I can't comment on your girlfriend. You're obviously correct about her. That doesn't mean she's a typical fan or typical media consumer.

The things most people don't realize about them are:

- they're intelligent, talented, and capable people;

- absolutely nothing on their shows is any more real than what happens on a scripted TV show, and Keeping Up with the Kardashians is literally scripted;

- they don't personally make many of the decisions about their brands (what they post on Instagram or Twitter, what products their brands release, etc.)

> They know it's vapid and dumb. People seek escape and fun.

I agree. I don't think most fans of reality shows think the shows are important or admire the people on them. That's partly my point: like crypto, we may look down on all the people involved without realizing that there is a lot more than meets the eye.

> Saying people watch them merely because they are being fooled is a bad take and often used in politics.

Whenever I see an X-37B post, I like to remind people its real purpose is to keep one or more nukes on-orbit at all times. Do I have proof? No.
Why not a satellite? Satellites run out of fuel, eventually break and need to be de-orbited before they do.

It's against treaty to keep nukes in space. X-B37 has plausible deniability, and the nukes don't take up the whole cargo bay so you can still have room for experiments.

Why? It's a great first strike weapon without a detectable missile launch. If terrorists are building a nuke you can drop it on them and make it look like they blew themselves up. Last ditch asteroid defense.

Am I against it? Not really. But I do believe in an informed citizenry. YMMV.
