I use this a lot. It's not perfect, but better than nothing. For example, last time I checked it did not support reusable workflows, and I have had a few cases I got some error from github but act worked. I guess it's a hard catchup game, not only do you have to get the semantic for correct workflows correctly, you also want to error out on the same errors.

I really don't understand why github don't release a local runner for github actions. Everyone I know which has worked with cicd wants the same, some way to run and debug the pipelines/workflows locally.
So that's what the beginning of the end of the world would look like.
Imagine thinking like the root node that only you understand Marxism, cooperative anarchy, etc of all the people that are currently living.

Yeah, burning oil (with microbes this time) to make hydrogen while wasting the rest of the energy in the oil (to sustain microbes) while generating the same emissions as oil (but using microbes instead of burning it in engines) so that when the hydrogen (which has less energy than oil because microbes) can be used without harmful emissions in the cityscape (but overall double the emissions of hydrocarbons per mile because microbes).

It doesn't sound good when you put it like that, so you call it gold instead, supplanting the """"actual"""" meaning of "gold hydrogen" which is emissionless hydrogen pockets underground. Fuck the colour system though, it's ridiculous obfuscation. This is just plain old "hydrogen we made by wasting half the energy from oil (using microbes)".

PS. For a little substantiation to those "less energy" claims, dihydrogen has a heat of combustion of ~290 kJ/mol. Methane has 890 kJ/mol, and ideally decomposes into two hydrogen molecules at 580 kJ/mol. Add in the fact that such a reaction literally cannot exist and whatever reaction the microbes do, they probably do to gain energy as they release the carbon, we can expect a lower ratio of hydrogen molecules to methane in. With longer hydrocarbons, the super ideal ratio drops, as well as with switching to more complex hydrocarbons, so we're talking hyper idealised scenario here. This is overall a pretty bad idea, probably not far from SMR in efficiency, if not worse.

EDIT: I've gone and balanced it out, assuming that the microbes use water to pull the oxygen from (as they do with extreme likelihood), the ideal reaction is CH₄ + 2 H₂O → CO₂ + 4 H₂ with an enthalpy of 252.8 kJ/mol. That's more endothermic than SMR, which sits at 206 kJ/mol. Both are very strongly endothermic. _It would, genuinely be way more efficient to just burn natural gas or your output hydrogen to make ""grey"" hydrogen._ This is garbage and results in higher emissions than existing, widespread technology accounting for ~78% of global hydrogen production. What the hell! Not to mention that both of these are a horrible idea beacuse it's genuinely more environmentally friendly to just burn natural gas. This causes more emissions in every case than just natural gas.
Seconded.

Add to that the (insane?) early SIOP, a plan for an all-out attack on the USSR with waves of nuke-armed strategic bombers.

As for the Damascus accident, I'd love to watch a high-budget movie about it (preferably on the level of "Deepwater Horizon", with Mark Wahlberg to boot).
More than that, Twitter not has an extra $12 billion in debt, and $1b in interest payments due, which almost exceeds their quarterly revenue.
You are aware of processing.org?

This is more or less what you propose. I used it to teach programming more than once.
While it is going to be a tough Battle, worst than any other platform in the history of computing. I dont think Windows Phone and B2G ( Boot to Gecko ) should be used as example. Windows Phone / Microsoft clearly has an execution problem. BTG / Firefox OS had resources problem. And was focusing on $35 / $50 dollar Phone platform. ( What KaiOS is currently doing ). Both has ZERO understanding of mobile phone platform and industry. And that learning experience took a few years before they run out of patient / money / momentum.
Hah on the surface I suppose. But I’m not arguing whether people should think for themselves, I’m arguing that it matters when people should think for themselves. If you’re more curious about others ideas on a given topic than your own ideas, then you should absolutely read!
Perhaps, if he completely omits quality control and tweaking. Most of everything ever artist makes is by their own standards garbage or rough work to be discarded.
I agree. Also, it's not that stable diffusion spontaneously generates art: someone has thought of a prompt, written it down, iterated, and finally decided that a given image was good enough to publish. Is stable diffusion an "artist" or is it a tool?

I find "what is art" discussions impossible to resolve and untangle from prejudices and biases. The least problematic answer I've found comes from John Carey, paraphrasing: "art is whatever someone has decided it to be". In other words, if I decide something is art, then it is.

The problem shifts slightly to a more interesting way to pose this question: why some art has more value than some other art (or even "does some art has more value than some other art")? Equally difficult to resolve but more prone to highlight prejudices and biases mentioned above.

I believe that the durability of Gore-Tex in shoes might depend much more on the quality of the shoes than on the material itself.

I have used Gore-Tex only in shoes, but in various kinds of high-quality shoes (i.e. not cheap), either made by a less known Swiss company, or by brands like Adidas or Asics.

In all cases, I have used daily the shoes for 3 to 4 years until I had to dump them, always due to an excessively worn sole, not because of problems with Gore-Tex.
The US is the most likely culprit, though, isn't it? Clear means and motive, and they even publicly theatened to stop NS2 if Germany doesn't.

Russia is the next possibility, but it requires much more complicated conspiracies to explain why they would blow up their own massive infrastructure project.

Either way, perhaps some day the results of Sweden's investigation will be made public, and we won't have to guess.
I think this is more about credibility - GP made a pretty good argument without the quotes. But the fact that Albert Einstein supposedly agrees puts a lot more weight onto it.
Spotify won because it's better than The Pirate Bay. The Playlist on Netflix explains why Spotify surpassed TBP and how the record labels still had to surrender even though they "beat" the pirates.

nowadays AR needs something like the same level of precision, but over a longer timeline.

Instead of just IMU, AR glasses have the advantage of using SLAM as well as passive wifi to locate as well.
>I agree. Also, it's not that stable diffusion spontaneously generates art: someone has thought of a prompt, written it down, iterated, and finally decided that a given image was good enough to publish. Is stable diffusion an "artist" or is it a tool?

I'm curious about the possibility of the commissioner role for this situation.

From my point of view, the AI is the artist and prompting an AI to produce a specific image is akin to commissioning an artwork.

I think we have moved beyond human agency, and creation of art is reduced to the simpler constituents, the roles of artist and (if there is one) commissioner. The request to make an artpiece can also come from a machine.
The way that mammals learn is by play. Seems like the more the abstract something is, the harder it is to play with it, since it is by definition non-concrete.
In order to play with these concepts, you have to do that in your head, which is non-intuitive (or maybe even impossible) for a large part of the population.

> [...] but the burden of proof is generally on the employee to show that they were wrongfully terminated [...]

This is same for Switzerland and probably Europe. In Switzerland you have three month's notice for resigning and for being laid off. You can be fired for cause without notice, but this applies only if the cause is severe enough that a continuation of the employment shouldn't be asked of the company or the employee any more. This has consequences for unemployment insurance. Usually the ex-employee needs to wait 4 weeks for unemployment benefits. It's the same if the employee resigned.
>brushed metal windows and other app-specific background textures.

You're about a decade late with this complaint... and wrong. The brushed metal look was for application windows that resembled "appliances", which would remain open as you loaded/saved different projects. This was to distinguish them from the normal white document windows, which are tied 1-to-1 to a file.

I'm not saying they always followed this rule exactly... but there definitely was a rule. And the Apple of the era would publish detailed Human Interface Guidelines detailing all the thinking and intended practices. Third party mac software of that era was famously extremely consistent too, because of this shared base.

I only have one request from Linux desktops: mac style shortcuts with meta instead of ctrl. I also know it will never happen because everyone took their cues from messy Microsoft instead of the superior Apple practices.
Collective intelligence for deep learning: A survey of recent developments
IMO, the need to express new ideas by combining or redefining old words is a bug in natural language, rather than a feature. It makes communication less precise and that imprecision is prone to gamesmanship.

An example is the attempt by some, in the US, to redefine the meaning of “equality” in the context of our political system, from the traditional “equality under the law” to “equality of outcome”. This sort of persuasion by redefinition, in which you take a word attached to a popular idea and hijack/redirect it to your pet idea, is a Jedi-mind-trick which is enabled by the ambiguity of natural language.

A more rational system of communication, in which distinct ideas were represented by distinct, immutable symbols, rather than combinations/reuses of old symbols, would make for vastly superior communication—-if we could wrap our brains around such a thing!
I normally create a draft PR first to test CI/CD changes and open a new one when it's working. The workflow still sucks but I at least look like less of an idiot in the eyes of my peers.
A bit disappointed about that actually. For a moment I thought someone had done a sane version of Scuttlebutt, but alas :)

Though at this point I probably wouldn't use that either.
You could take a look at the stuff from Wageningen uni, they are the worlds highest ranking agritech university. For foundational knowledge, you could look at the literature they use for their degree programs like this one on Farm Technology, MSc Biosystems Engineering [1]

As we are fond of saying here, a feature not a bug.

As distasteful as this might be for some, we must face up to the reality of the system we live in and work within it as best we can. Arguably, this was what SBF was doing, throwing money at campaign funding, to support politicians he believed in, to counteract the money thrown in by other wealthy benefactors, who supported politicians who believed other things
Shakespeare wrote about Julius Caesar, Titus Andronicus, Richard III, Henry IV, and so on. How did he learn about these people if there was nothing to read?
What if, instead of a gun which imparts massive accelerations on the payload, we instead use something with lesser acceleration. I’m thinking of a hybrid between an elevator, a slingshot, and a railgun. The point here is to get to escape velocity without a huge acceleration. The payload would sit on a platform lowered deep into a vertical shaft, counterbalanced by a relatively heavy mass suspended from the other side of a pulley. The start of the launch would involve dropping the mass and after hitting terminal velocity of the payload/mass system, the railgun-like magnetic acceleration would start. At the end, just the launch vehicle would come flying out of the hole and into space.

Have I run any numbers? No. But I’m going to!

This is also what I do on my bike. Waterproof socks instead of overshoes are much easier to use and work well for keeping feet warm and dry even when eg the boot gets completely soaked from spray or splashes.
Interesting, but nostalgic.

Magical brain upload technology would likely require AI, and would almost certainly include assistive cognition - the use of technology to automate and speed up learning and original thought.

We're edging towards a revolution that will be more of a disruption than the invention of print. Instead of thoughts that are "manually" generated and externalised as static symbols - albeit electronically distributed - thinking and learning will be automated and integrated.

You can use Wikipedia to access a lot of human knowledge. But imagine a meta-Wikipedia that would integrate and summarise an entire domain, combined with assistive cognition that made it possible to hold that summary in your head as a single perceptual entity.

You wouldn't just have the skills offered by domain competence, but you would also be able to look for trends and patterns, compare the domain with others, expand the "shape" with new features in creative but congruent ways, and so on.

Ask HN: In what format do you write your website?
Up until now, I've used Markdown for my blog posts but recently I've wanted to make more complicated pages. I'm not sure yet what to do, should I write partly in Markdown and partly in HTML? Should I migrate everything to HTML? Or maybe there is something else in the middle?

I was also thinking of having some dynamic pages in my static website so maybe HTML is the only solution?
I do actually agree with you, what I am saying is that a big part of Linux testing is crowdsourced: you and I and hundreds of millions are testing if there's a regression every time we run Linux, or running buggy, incorrect software on machines in random levels of stability and soundness.

Few unit tests in the kernel would be able to compete with so many chaos monkeys (a reference to Netflix's https://github.com/Netflix/chaosmonkey).
Oh, man, using DEBUG to mess around with the system binaries was my JAM when I was 13, 14 years old. I would put new messages in, cheat at Prince of Persia on the school's computers by patching the save file, all sorts of malarkey.

I discovered that my computer's 80186 processor had onboard features that no other x86 processor had: among them, three onboard very high resolution timers. I used one of those timers and a very tight loop to toggle the speaker with a sort of PWM to make it play at different volumes. I didn't really know what I was doing, I should have timed the various instructions and adjusted the timer delay so I could tune the speaker to different frequencies. But I got within spitting distance of being able to play music with some degree of timbre and even polyphony on that thing, which it wasn't designed to do!
Good list of quotes! I would add one by Nietzsche:

“Ultimately no one can hear in things―books included―more than he already knows.”

Reading can help you formalize, or put established concepts upon what you have already understood, even if only unconsciously.

I remember the gist of a quote about the need to read as much as possible in a young age to inform a Weltanschauung (world view) from which in adulthood you're supposed to build on, but can't remember any source.
Breaking Bad taught me you have to be extra cautious with the US tax\finance system.

Also from other source it sounds like when it comes to money it's rather "presumption of guilt" where you have to prove the source of your income is legal etc.
This argument could be made 150 years ago about photography. For the sake of an argument: can a selfie be a form of art?

To take a selfie, human intervention is minimal: someone decides they want to take a selfie; take dozens of them, pretty much at random; choose one they like; publish it.

Similarities with the stable diffusion process are striking. And yet, could you consider a selfie "artistic"? Are all selfies artistic? What if Annie Leibovitz or Marina Abramovic take a selfie?

What if Marina Abramovic generates a million images of a rabbit with stable diffusion and papers a whole warehouse with them? Is this art?

Edit: syntax.
Maybe the point isn't about the amount but the type of businesses that do not scale well and interest few people ? And 100k can be huge in some places if you think at the earth scale ;-)
> ..most of us after all are in the business of creating things.. If we want to create, reading must have it’s limits, and sometimes pretty harsh limits, lest we be infected with others ideas about everything.

The point perhaps is what PG is saying "A good writer will almost always discover new things in the process of writing."

Writing is creating and the process of creation is about discovery. When one is sculpting a clay, one is discovering materials and its properties, one is discovering ones emotions, and infact one could be discovering or understanding oneself (this ignoring the pre creation phase where one is discovering and studying art movements, various sculptors, their ideas and techniques...).

Any creation process roughly follows same patterns unless you are a facsimile creator.
I wonder why Apple didn't give out a coupon for an optional charger that could be sent in for a cash-back. Maybe because that would enrage the Brazilian Ministery of Justice?
That is a good comment.

So what can be learned?

The resume could either be:

1) state needs to make speculation on water, food, medicine, energy illegal or tax it highly (well that usually does not work says Panama)

2) set "maximum" prices
(A very socialist thing... also not so great as it hinders investments)

3) US & EU & Asia & EVERYONE gov NEED to buy up at least 30% of all real estate (at the price it was before the bubble) and gurantee their citizens a fair rent & energy & heating.

Guesd option 3 would be best solution.
You can specify a rounding mode if you use decimals instead of floats
Great little tutorial and a lovely trip down memory lane!
I used this trick for delta compression for an ArrayBuffer backed data exchange format. Since it was getting sent from a web server, we got gzip for free, but could still shrink data sizes by filtering it in such a way as to make it easier to compress. Delta compressing correlated data points yields a lot of small, but randomly distributed positive/negative values, so by zig-zag encoding them but saving as 32bit values, you end up with a lot of runs of 0's, which get compressed very efficiently, and only require a quick pass through the data to restore the original values

I think the same argument can be made of photography. A photographer does not "paint" or "create" the image. It points a machine to a place and presses a button with a finger. This machine does "the work" for her. Who is the artist? Are photographers just commisioners of images?

In my experience mountain biking in central Europe, where most of the summer is dry and not so hot, and the rest of the year is damp and cool, Gore-Tex products work really well in keeping you dry when the outisde air is very humid.

I've been reading through this over the last few weeks. It's not your typical math textbook; the author takes great pains to stretch out the learning curve. Categories aren't even defined until chapter 8, and the presentation still takes multiple pages before we finally get the usual, concise definition.

I think the gradual approach is good, even if you have some familiarity with abstract algebra. Experienced readers might feel a little bored at first, but I still think that's a good sign overall.

Not exactly. Its properties come from PTFE, which is not water soluble. PFOS is a surfactant, like soap. You can’t make a jacket out of it — it’s water soluble.

PFOS was used in the manufacturing process. It’s quite problematic, but it’s actually the end product.
