> US truck drivers work under a 14 hour daily limit.

11 hours of that is permitted to be driving time, and you must take a 30 minute break after eight. (Good time to charge!)

8 x 55mph average speed = 440 miles. Perfect.

> This window is usually thought of as a “daily” limit even though it is not based on a 24-hour period.
You are allowed a period of 14 consecutive hours in which to drive up to 11 hours after being off
duty for 10 or more consecutive hours.

> The hours-of-service regulations require that if more than 8 consecutive hours have passed since
the last off-duty (or sleeper-berth) period of at least half an hour, a driver must take an off-duty
break of at least 30 minutes before driving. For example, if the driver started driving immediately
after coming on duty, he or she could drive for 8 consecutive hours, take a half-hour break, and
then drive another 3 hours for a total of 11 hours. In another example, this driver could drive for
3 hours, take a half-hour break, and then drive another 8 hours, for a total of 11 hours.

The key insight in this post is in the conclusion section:

> My own experience, validated by Cockburn’s thesis and Frederick Brooks in No Silver Bullet, is that software development projects succeed when the key people on the team share a common vision, what Brooks calls “conceptual integrity.” This doesn’t arise from any particular methodology, and can happen in the absence of anything resembling a process.
I'm sorry, yes... I meant the B-2, not the Rockwell B-1 Lancer. You are correct. We were driving through Palmdale and I saw one of the B-2 flying wings cruise over the freeway on approach. Was very very cool to see.... But thank you for the correction. B-2, not B-1.
Isn't it a problem that they are continuously revising the Rust language and breaking old code? Are they locking it down to a certain revision of Rust?
Somewhat, refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamport_signature as a starting point.

The extension using Merkle trees shows that you can open all of the on-bits in a message, where your public key is the Merkle tree root and your signature is the N authentication paths for all the 1s in the message bitstream, the average signature size will be `n/2 * log2(n) * n` bits. Of course this is fragile and the same public key (merkle tree root) cannot be used to open multiple messages - hence each signature includes the next public key and thus requires knowledge of the sequence/state of the signer which is not ideal and why Lamport signatures aren't really practical.
If it were from a spirit of curiosity, none of those points would have been made, because you would have soon realized you're not responding to anything in my comment.

The more-curious version of your comment would be,

"That's a good point. I can't quite put my finger on what makes this particular safety/cost tradeoff different from the other cases, especially given that it maintains the same general level of safety through different decisions. Something still seems off, but I'm not at the point where I can rigorously justify it."

Does that about summarize where you stand?
Brakes _do_ stop a car. You're converting energy of motion into heat. That is not the tires doing that. You are not transferring significant amounts of energy into the road or into heating up the tires.

Now in the case of regenerative braking, the losses from the charging do also dissipate the energy, but most of it goes back into the battery to be used for driving which, over time, is transferred into the tires and the air.

It's important to remember that ideal wheels are not actually moving with respect to the surface they roll over. From the tire's perspective the road is not moving in any direction other than up and down, repeatedly touching the tire and then not touching it again at different points. As long as you maintain static friction when braking and don't start skidding, for ideal wheels, you're not transferring any energy to the tire or to the road.

Now, real tires are not ideal wheels so there's some differences, but those are minor components compared to the majority of energy being dissipated in charging the battery or into heating up/wearing down brakes. And indeed when driving, the majority of loss of energy is from air resistance, not the tires.
Let’s be clear then:

Absolute minimum requirement for a sedentary person: .8 g/kg of body weight (not recommended).

Optimum for muscle building: 2.2 g/kg

What I’m talking about: 1.1g/kg and up is probably fine.

What about this do you take issue with? “High” and “low” are extremely vague.

Edit: erroneously wrote .36 g/kg, when it should have been .8. .36 is g/lb

> particulate emissions

I think that's kind of obvious, as most tailpipe emissions are gaseous, not particulates. What really matters, instead of blindly counting particles, is health outcomes. Nox fumes are strongly associated with negative health outcomes, even if it isn't strongly associated with a particulate count.[1]

This is a mischaracterization of why CEO level pay for most companies is higher than the lower skilled workers. It’s supply and demand. The skills required to be an executive at a large company are very hard to find, so companies need to compete with each other for the small supply of candidates that are eligible for the job. Obviously there are exceptions to this, especially in tech and finance, but it’s not as simple as “they are paid more because of a title”. There’s a lot of responsibility and skill required for those positions, and most people do not have the ambition, drive or resiliency to survive the stress induced in those positions. I believe over time the problem will be less of an issue as general intelligence in the population rises due to more open access to knowledge. Unfortunately we live in a world where some people have significant advantages, either environmental or genetic, and not all people are equal. I’m not arguing this is the right answer, but rather would you as a nation like to capitalize on your talent and give incentive to those few advantaged to rise to their level of competence? Or would you rather treat everyone as equal, let talent go to waste, and become stagnant? The rising tide lifts all boats, and that can be shown by the fact we’ve nearly eliminated poverty in the last 100 years, which is not celebrated enough. Nearly all low-level workers in America have access to food, housing, water, and even cell phones, and we take that for granted.
It's not that Powers was obliged to kill himself. Powers had a choice, either take the suicide pill, or don't talk if you're captured. He chose option 3, he talked.

Having to make such a choice is certainly not an enviable position to be in, but Powers never had to take this job. I certainly never would have accepted it, I think most people wouldn't.
Oh gawd haha. Somehow this doesn't feel like consolation :(
> It's a legal acceptance problem

We may be saying the same thing, but just to clarify / put another way: it's a legal compliance problem. DocuSign is admissible (in the US) because it adheres to the state and Federal regulations that have been passed which carefully enumerate the requirements of legally acceptable digitally signed documents, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Signatures_in_Globa...

It's lower risk in a corporation with a lot to lose to say, here's this implementation that we know is compliant, than to say, we made our own or used an obscure one and we think it is. Corporate politics will usually encourage decision makers to go with the former.
Basically anything is a compromise.

Notaries are essentially a (relatively) low-friction compromise between just trusting that the person who put some squiggles on a piece of paper is who you think they are and that person traveling to a lawyer's office (or a brokerage etc.) that may be in another state.

Same way you can hopefully get a locked computer account restored without traveling to a Google office in Mountain View between 1 and 2pm on a Thursday to make your case with multiple forms of ID.

The rigor depends on the transaction but usually it's chosen to be a reasonable compromise.

To the specific example of a contract etc., presumably the lawyer has a copy of the original document and that's probably considered canonical in the case of a dispute. There can be edge cases obviously but there are edge cases with everything.
I don't really think this is a disagreement. "Sometimes you have to do something that's bad for you to keep something worse from happening." That's just called harm reduction. The stress is still bad but short term stress that ends long term stress can be a good trade when you don't have any other option.

> although I consider the removal of GUI support to be about as arrogant

They didn't just delete the GUI. They made it easy to embed neovim and as a result there are several GUI frontends now. Seems like a good call - gvim is not a great gui so why keep it around rather than making it easy for gui people to make good ones against an api? There are several active guis right now: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Related-projects#gui

I recall someone who researched this once telling me that the blurring is irreversible (at least by request). This could be a drawback when trying to rent or sell the property, as the prospective tenant or buyer can't easily see what the property looks like.
> The most surprising thing for me is how unintuitive it is to optimize Rust code given that it’s honestly hard to find a Rust project that doesn’t loudly strive to be “blazingly fast”. No language is intrinsically fast 100% of the time, at least not when a mortal like me is behind the keyboard. It takes work to optimize code, and too often that work is guess-and-check.

I get the feeling that a lot of Rust projects claim to be "blazingly fast" just because they are written in Rust, and not because they've made any attempts to actually optimize it. I rarely see any realistic benchmarks, and the few times I've looked deeply into the designs they are not implemented with execution speed in mind, or in some cases prematurely optimized in a way that is actively detrimental [1].

Personally I think it's because so many of the new Rust programmers are coming from scripting languages, so everything feels fast. I don't have any problems with that, but I'd advise anyone seeing a "blazingly fast" Rust project to check if the project has even a single reasonable benchmark to back that up.

How many of those people are just plain sedantary?

“High-quality” is an extremely vague notion, and there is a huge gap between the average persons habits and the health/fitness world’s “ideal”.

People will point to an extremely low average and then use that as evidence of an extremely narrow ideal, when there is a fairly large amount of range in between that may or may not be just fine.

Resistance training is good. Eating below the minimum standard of protein is good. Does the average person need to be eating 1g/lb of body weight? No.

Second episode, Fifteen Million Merits.

Guy can buy out the ads, spending currency to skip them. One day he doesn't have the money and is forced to watch the ad. Literally forced. If he averts his eyes, the ad follows them. If he closes his eyes, they torture him with high pitched noise until he opens them. It drives him to the point of physical violence.

It's one of my favorite episodes. The incredible inhumanity of it all, and I bet these ad tech companies would think nothing of it.
As a caveat, it can still be useful for profiling constant-evaluated code to improve compile time, since Miri is built on the same evaluator that the compiler uses.
> they have added all sorts of phantom merges which often obscure the real next turn/exit until the last second because there is a nonexistent merge on the map

This is the thing that I hate the most. It wouldn't be so bad if they kept a zoom level where I could see what's coming up, but they zoom in super tight until the phantom merge point is passed. If I'm traveling 60 mph and I have to cut across 3 lanes of busy traffic in less than a tenth of a mile, I'd like to have a fucking heads up. When cruising on the interstate, I'd like to know my exit number without having to scroll past all the instances where the number of lanes changes on my way there.

Reservoir towers don't hold nearly enough water to be viable energy stores. You need a big alpine lake like this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turlough_Hill

And you need a reservoir down below to receive the water as it passes through turbines otherwise you're waiting for rainfall to fill that upper reservoir up naturally.

The geographic conditions to make pumped hydro are far more constrained than you seem to think. Most water reservoirs for municipal water supplies don't have the elevation drop to be used for generation and they don't have the lower reservoir to capture and feed water back into the upper reservoir.
from my experience, every performance issue is the database when your programming language makes better choices.

I think you have gotten to the crux of it, distro package maintainers seem to have not done a particularly good job in many distros when it comes to AMD, but that is hardly AMD's fault as they have done a fairly good job at running their own full binaries repo¹ for various package formats. I also would recommend therefore that you change to AMD's repo as it definitely contains the HIP runtime. It would appear that you just need to add https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/yum/rpm to your package manager for Fedora. For ROCm OpenCL, my only pointer is that you have to make sure that you are adding the dynamic library path, for example:

$ env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/rocm-5.4.0/opencl/lib clinfo

I am pretty sure that you should be able to resolve both OpenCL and Blender+HIP support given your configuration details given so far and I hope you figure it out.

The tires cannot generate any longitudinal acceleration with zero slippage. This slippage is what causes wear. (As a driver, though you perceive there to be zero slippage without wheelspin or sliding the tires, there is slippage between the road and tire anytime the tire is exerting a longitudinal force on roadway.)
Yes, that's right. The spot price is determined by the marginal source of electricity. That's normally gas, but is sometimes coal, imports, or pumped hydro storage. The consumer actually benefits twice - once when the wind is sold into the market, which necessarily lowers the spot price for _all_ electricity (more wind supply is the same as reducing total demand, which will reduce the market price). Then, the difference between the spot price and the CfD price is refunded, but this time only on the electricity actually generated by wind.

In general, electricity suppliers don't literally pass the spot price on to consumers. It used to be that a supplier could price electricity however they liked, including passing the spot price on. However, for the past few years, suppliers are required to buy futures, and price their supplied electricity on that basis, because of the domestic price cap. If they didn't they would run the risk of going bankrupt like Bulb. Futures bring stability, and in an efficient market with perfect information buying futures would be the same as buying spot. But the market is not efficient and with perfect information, so that assumption doesn't apply. Notwithstanding that, you were correct, the part of electricity generation attributable to wind should be taken account of at the lower price.

For most consumers, their marginal cost of electricity is identical to their average cost (ignoring the standing charge) as they are on a fixed rate tariff. It would undoubtedly be more efficient to charge consumers the actual marginal cost at the time of consumption, and then refund the CfD payments in a monthly payment later, but that's not how it's done sadly.

The conclusion that high level programming languages are "complementary" while LLMs are "competitive" seems very shaky to me. If we had never invented high level languages, and instead used LLMs to assist writing and debugging assembly code, I think we'd all be a lot better at reading assembly.

I think the real effect on programming is to reduce the importance of mechanical and rote skills such as typing fast and having a photographic memory for standard library functions and algorithm patterns.

If your main skill is that when given a detailed description of something to implement, you can bang out working code at 100 WPM, then LLMs are kind of making that obsolete.

If your main skill is balancing requirements, making judgement calls, and reviewing code for correctness, then LLMs are going to help you work a lot faster.
