We might be about to discover that every power policy in Europe has failed, there are a lot of people hoping for a warm winter. I'd be very nervous if their fossil fuel, nuclear, renewable or gas policies were being adopted where I live. There is a serial problem in the west where people aren't taking energy security seriously. If we were, we'd have been building nuclear reactors 13 years ago and we'd be building them now for 13 years in the future.

For this comment, I also looked up the Texas thing [0] from last year to see if there was a solid consensus on what happened yet RE wind energy's contribution.

"Warehousing her body" suggests otherwise. When people talk about someone as a "body" they usually mean insensate IMX. People whose loved ones are in pain tend to use different, even more colorful, language. I know I did, when that was the case.
The SD terms also mention that the model and its generated outputs cannot be used for disinformation, medical advice, and several other things. It looks like the only way to legally protect yourself would be to require a contract from everyone buying your SD artwork asserting that they will also comply with the full SD license terms.

While this may work if you're selling the art electronically and provide the buyer with a set of terms to accept, this would be difficult if you're selling the work physically. For instance if I sell a postcard with SD art on it in a convenience store, the buyer won't be signing any contracts. However the buyer could display that postcard in a manner that is technically disinformation (e.g. going around telling people the picture on the postcard is a genuine photograph) and suddenly that becomes a license violation.

I disagree. What the free speech side is arguing is that by trying to restrict "reach" you are trying to prevent interested consumers of that speech from ever hearing it.

The prime example is when someone's tweets don't show up in the timelines of subscribers. People who specifically what to hear that speech never get a chance to.
I think the root of it is recognition that mental health is as important as physical health, and that losing weight isn’t as easy as many people assume, and shouldn’t be done the way many people try - so actively shaming and criticizing fat people for being fat is of negative health utility overall.
> But they're sold and advertised based on the emount [sic] of energy they can dispense when full.

Right, but renewables need storage that we can charge and discharge daily, not seasonal storage. We're back to the 10 KWh battery that can only be charged to 3 kwh on demand.

> Every single dam is storage. It's why so many were built in the nuclear boom.

Renewable growth predated the nuclear boom by a long margin: concrete and effective turbines made possible bid advances in hydropower around the 1930s and 1940s. This is when the Hoover dam, the Coulee dam, and most of the other big hydro power plants were built. The nuclear boom was in the 1960s and 70s.

> The 40GWh can be cycled any time

And again, this is the main form of storage we need to flatten out the duck curve.

> the 240GW can be cycled at any point it is needed

Yes, but then it takes a long time to refill. This is useful for seasonal storage, as you point out, but again flattening the daily fluctuation is what's really necessary. The bigger value is for the use case that's not in as much demand.

The point of storage is that you can capture the surplus energy of renewables. The idea is that if my grid consumes 100 GW of electricity and I produce 150 GW during the day I can capture that extra 50 GW. Dams can't do this. Yes, you can reduce a dam's production when renewables are at peak generation and let water levels rise. But that's not really storage. What happens when the renewables produce so much energy that it's saturating demand? You can't capture that surplus energy with just a dam, you need a bidirectional connection.

Pointing out that you're sidestepping the fact that only a much smaller portion of storage capacity can by cycled daily like a lithium battery is not at all bad faith.

Are you familiar with the term "accredited investor"? It's a formal term that the SEC uses to differentiate Joe Upper-Middle who has put 200K in a retirement program, from Josefina Nouveau, who has either:

earned income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 when combined with a spouse, during each of the previous two full calendar years, and a reasonable expectation of the same for the current year

or

a net worth greater than $1 million (either by yourself or combined with a spouse), excluding your primary residence.

and is therefore expected, rightly or wrongly, to be able to judge the riskiness of a potential investment and absorb the loss without being crippled.

Sure using a DAW has an effect, mainly in providing more tools, but the idea that one of its effects is no more key changes makes... just utterly no sense. DAW's handle key changes just fine, they don't do a single thing to make them more difficult or lead you to forget about them.

It makes as much sense as saying the popularity of young-adult novels is due to authors using word processors instead of writing by hand. The two have nothing to do with each other.
It makes sense to have a distinction between the word disease and condition and a disorder.

A disease particular is from a foreign agent: bactierial/fungal/viral/prionic/parasitic.

a condition or disorder is an integral structure on awry, or rewritten (by chemicals or by viewing data) to go awry: the key distinction between this and disease being that there is no other 'lifeform' (yes - include viruses for simplicity's sake).

so alcohol use disorder vs alcoholism reflects a more accurate state of reality. (there is no bacteria/fungus/prion/parasite/virus that is the CAUSE of alcoholism - a chemical rewrote your brain which has been damaged to potentially require alcohol to survive).

the push back I've encountered had nothing to do with being 'correct'/'sensible' and had everything to do with protecting the feelings of people suffering from AUD - which is not a worthwhile goal to coddle people with fluffy medical terms in the aims of removing responsibility from one's self...

I know it sounds cliche to recommend that you travel, but I want to offer my personal anecdote;

Since I got serious into computers in 2011, I haven't really had a long layoff, at most a week or two away from my computer. In July I finally got a chance to take an extended break. In August I did a 1 week meditation retreat thinking it would help reset things, and while it did help, I noticed when I got back to programming, my stress and anxiety wasn't completely gone, but it was at least more manageable.

Then in September, I stopped using my computer, and just traveled with my family for 2 months. Went to 4 different countries. Still kind of traveling but I'm now back to programming. Now that I've returned, I am noticing changes in the beliefs, interests, and pursuits I had just 3 months ago. One curious thing that happened was that I was strongly opposed to a certain programming platform, and a few weeks into my return from holiday, I'm enjoying picking it up. I believe this happened because my long continuous streak of programming never gave me a chance to "cleanse" some of the emotional triggers that would influence my decision making. If you don't take a break, the triggers keep reinforcing themselves.

In order to weaken the stress inducing triggers, you have to take a proper break; no more computers. Take a couple of months off, if your finances allow for it. Go have fun, but don't keep engaging with the thing that has caused you some much stress. I strongly believe you will come back to your computer refreshed and you will be able to interact with your machine in a much more neutral way. This in turn will allow you to make better decisions without any baggage influencing them.

> Although human timepieces have been calibrated with Earth’s rotation for millennia, most people will feel little effect from the loss of the leap second. “In most countries, there is a one hour step between summertime and winter time,” says Arias. “It is much more than one second, but it doesn't affect you.”

I find this off-hand comment dismissive and out of touch. The semi-annual switch from Daylight Savings to "normal" and back again is absurd, and far from not affecting anyone. Studies show that productivity drops for about a week following the change [1], and there is a marked increase in road fatalities after the clocks are adjusted [2].

If anything, this leap second business is what's irrelevant to everybody except a handful of obscure boffins.

This is a really important question and one that MBAs miss all the time (speaking as one myself). The value of a tech company isn't in its existing product portfolio and revenue stream, it is in its ability to create and launch new successful revenue-generating products in the future. Personally I do think Google has that history, starting obviously with Gmail, Maps, etc. But nobody can predict whether that will continue or if they'll end up like an IBM or Facebook, largely dependent on their legacy products.

I would do the first and classic one on Coursera first and then newer deep learning. The original one gives you better grounding in basic ML stuff that is not as "sexy" these days but is still fundamental and used for solving many problems.

I was in a similar boat but on the analytics side wrt to maths. I also took courses at a local university in Math to build up my knowledge. Learning pure math at the college level, like learning to do proofs in front of people on a chalkboard -- I think is very difficult to do unless you take it in the context of a class.

I think you should still give it a go, it's never too late!

My wife is a physician who works in a critical care setting. She did not read or approve this post; these are my thoughts as someone who hears a lot about the other side of this environment:

For the most part this seems like a sensible and reasonable article communicating what must have been an extremely difficult situation for the author. In case the author reads this: I'm really glad your dad got better and I know everybody working in the hospital appreciated the amount of patience and restraint it seems like you showed in helping him without being that patient family member who goes off the handle about everything. (There are so many of those.)

Many of the issues the author points out are very real - constantly-rotating doctors, attending disregarding consults once the consult leaves the room, the ICU not being set up for anything but bare survival - all of that is totally true from what I understand. I think, if anything, the author fails to understand how systematic and critical those issues are when he says things like this:

> So, digestive issues, hormonal issues, and mental issues all get short shrift. Basically, if there’s an obvious symptom, a consult will come in to try to treat the symptom. Then they’ll take another test in a day or so, see what happens, and go from there. There’s no sense of a scientific method, reasoning from first principles, or even reasoning from similar cases though.

I don't think this is giving the medical practitioners a fair shake here. Doctors do a huge amount of this kind of reasoning and research, even in the ICU. The trouble is often not a lack of reasoning, but a matter of, as with everything else you note, resources. Like you realized, the goal of the ICU is "keep patients alive at all costs, and worry about their comfort once they're able to be alive without our help for a while." Judgments are made with that in mind. It's not that they can't do reasoning about complex problems, it's that spending time on a complex but non-fatal problem means somebody with a potentially fatal problem won't get that time, and that's not what the ICU is for. Anything that can be solved later... will be solved later.

So the real question is not "Why didn't they help this patient with his digestive issues?", it's "Why didn't they move this patient out of the ICU once he reached the point where non-life-threatening digestive issues were relatively of any importance?"
That's a feature, not a bug. UTC adjustments require world-wide coordination.

Timezone adjustments do not. They are fundamentally a local matter, and just need to be communicated to the tireless maintainers of tzdata, and can happen incrementally any time an area feels local time is too far off solar time.

So you build out storage facilities. Whatever turns out cheapest for a given site wins. Different sites will favor different winners. We don't know yet which few of myriad choices that all work will turn out cheapest, but probably not batteries beyond a few hours' time-shifting.

There is little value in central storage, except in methods where economy of scale rules. Storage can otherwise be distributed as widely as convenience suggests, and the power moved around on wiring.

Of course you don't build out storage until you have enough spare renewable generating capacity to charge it from. In the meantime you fill shortfalls from peaker plants, the usual way. As synthetic fuels like hydrogen and ammonia become cheaper than NG, peakers will be fired with them, either synthesized locally or imported, when cheaper storage runs low.
The idea that Ukraine could have defended themselves with nukes comes from not understanding what was going on when the USSR fell apart. The nukes were placed in Ukraine by Russia since Ukraine was a border region of the USSR. Ukraine did not have control of the nukes. Russia probably would have attacked them early on and destroyed the nukes or taken over the country before they could ever weaponize them and find the billions of dollars needed to maintain a nuclear fleet while they were suffering hyperinflation.
