This reminds me a class very long ago, when the teacher wrote two contradictory definitions of style in the blackboard, one saying that style is what the authors have in common with their school, the other saying that style is what the authors have that others don't.

Of course, those were defining two different concepts: the style of a school and the personal style.

To be precise, identity is very easy to define: it's to be you, instead of anyone else. Until someone invents some kind of brain trasplant, it's impossible to transfer consciousness, so your identity is your body, more specifically, your brain. That would include your memories that, although can be erased by trauma or illness, are mostly very strongly rooted.

Outwards, it would expand to your habits, your chemistry, your beliefs. All that can change, but it's difficult. So it's more your personality than your identity.

Then there is "identity" that isn't. More like being part of a group, so it's parallel situation to that of style. You identify yourself with a group, you define yourself as the sum of the groups you include yourself in. Identity is very much about individuality. "Identity" seems to be the opposite: the inabilty to be someone on your own.

> Even then, a lot of homeowners didn't intend to own the home long enough to realize the returns, and I don't think small solar systems improve resale value. The feeling in the office is that if you're planning to resell, the money is better spent on the kitchen.

Not at today's power prices. A typical kitchen will easily cost as much or more than solar and solar ROI is about 20 to 25% right now, no kitchen will come even close to adding that kind of value to a house. If you can afford to do both, do both, but if you have to choose solar is #1 from an investment perspective (assuming you already have a kitchen...).

Here's a brief history of railroads in the US:

1) The federal government gave railroads massive amounts of land completely free of charge.

2) The federal government applied some regulations, including around transporting passengers. The automobile and plane hadn't been invented yet, so it wasn't that oppressive to railroads. Passengers were making them money.

3) The world changed and passenger service became massively unprofitable. Amtrak was formed to keep the trains running without the private railroads having to bear the losses. All Amtrak asked for was a few hours a day of clearance to run their trains.

4) Fast forward to today, and the railroads aren't complying with their obligations, that were granted in exchange for immense value.

A handout and a bailout later, and you want the taxpayers to give the railroads even more money?

(These original benefactors still exist today. Union Pacific was around when this was all happening. The "N" in BNSF is one of the original benefactors as well. It's pretty amazing to see companies around 160 years after their formation. Pretty generous government grants throughout their history didn't hurt.)
It isn't a strange thing or even a bad thing: it is a human thing to anthropomorphize things. We do it with animals even, which is some weird irony. We do it with common objects. We're just wired that way.

In practical terms e-mail addresses are case insensitive. So if on account creation your normalize the address (lower case, trim white space) and send a verification e-mail and they successfully verify you can safely derive an ID from that normalized address. It won't matter later if autocorrect tries a mixed case address since you normalize and compare it on the back end.

If you run into a case where their e-mail server enforces case sensitivity they have bigger problems to deal with. E-mail has long been a system that requires loose adherence to the specs.

There is a software development methodology that actually works:

This is a matter of developer education. The correct way to create and parse CSV files is to use a third-party library. They can get complicated. A field in a CSV can contain commas and quotes. In some cases, a single field can contain a line-feed, and you'll need to ensure the parser you use supports that. This would allow an entire CSV file to be embedded inside the field of a CSV field. At a minimum, a parser must support Excel's default parser logic.

But, if you pick the right parser and generator, then you're ok with using it.

I grew up with them so take my glowing reviews with a pinch of salt.

The books are a wonderful take on humans. The discworld has a broad theme that stories are real and powerful in the same way humans often believe them to be. The way we see and talk about the world is how reality works there. So cold is more than the absence of heat, there are deafening silences that drown out sound and gods are formed by and from belief. Many more things but those would often give away part of a discovery that's best found while reading.

The characters range from fun to deep, and feel consistent.

Apart from the first two or three books being quite different, there's a solid consistency and branching and merging set of storylines across 30+ books.

Also there are many references to our world and/or puns that I slowly realise and get now I'm in my 30s. They feel like they contain just so much.

They're not a chore or a slog that's "worth it in the end" and there are various places you can just jump in.
> How can you be sure that your implementation is correct, if you can't train it (hence you can't run proper inference with a good model)?

Seems impossible to know for sure. Best I can think is to train your model to overfit a small amount of data
I'm surprised PSR hasn't been mentioned in this. "Precision Scheduled Railroading" primarily means miles-long trains (with locomotives embedded rather than all at the lead end). They can take 10+ minutes to pass at a crossing, which is bad enough, but absent full double tracking, they also don't fit on the passing sidings, so while a passenger train could wait on one to let the freight train pass, the opposite is not possible.
There is no way I'm going to show up to buy a vehicle with that kind of cash on me, it's asking for a robbery.

The last time I saw someone use that much cash it was to buy a house in Amsterdam in the mid 80's, and even then it was frowned upon by the notary and the recipient. The notary made them deposit it into their bank account first and probably had to report the deal as 'unusual'.
Yes it still requires hydrogen like normal gas to liquid processes. The innovation is that carbon capture and methanol production happen as part of the same process. This has the potential to make it much more efficient than doing two separate processes.

You don't even need to nationalize it. It makes perfect sense for the federal government, or even a large state like California, to simply buy it on the open market, as a hostile takeover. The UPRR is dirt cheap compared to how much it is costing society for the UPRR to exist. We're talking low tens of billions. If the Obama administration had funded a takeover of the UPRR ten years ago it would have slashed the future costs of the Calif. High Speed Rail project.

It is entirely ok and normal to humanize machines, just don't do it in scientific engineering papers is all I am saying.

I name my bots and machines and of course in daily discussions the loaded words ("thinking", ""believing", "meaning", "knowing") are used. Simulating any human behaviour will elicit a sympathetic response, especially if it has utility to the user. But in the context of peer-review of scientific engineering papers that is inappropiate.
out of interest, is there anything specific you think humans will always be better at than AI?

It is mentioned!

> On the latter point, it asks the board to look at such matters as “how UP has reconciled its decision to implement Precision Scheduled Railroading with its obligations to host intercity passenger trains over the UP network.” It suggests that the board split its proceeding into two phases — an investigative phase to determine the cause of delays, and whether they are due to a failure to provide preference to Amtrak, and a remedial phase to determine possible damages and corrective action. It also offers a broad range of procedural suggestions regarding documents and interviews that should be part of the proceeding.
> Prior to 2010, pilots needed just 250 hours to start flying for a commercial airline. The Airline Safety and Federal Aviation Administration Extension Act of 2010 raised this requirement from 250 hours to 1,500 hours.

This is from a different article but feel like this is lower hanging fruit than getting rid of two co-pilots completely. don't know if the "pilot shortage" is still happening that resulted from lots retiring/taking buyouts at the beginning of covid but it is quite a lot of hours to train for a role that doesnt pay too much.

Why? Just take it to the bank and give them the envelope(s). That's not a large amount of money to a bank. They drop it in a counting machine, and it blitzes through that amount in a few seconds.

I find it funny that the library that you think is helping to stabilize the front-end is called "NextJS".
Because the federal government already ordered freight carriers to prioritize Amtrak. This has been on the books for nearly fifty years; over a decade ago deliverables were defined to establish target metrics for this. Sunset Ltd. has not been meeting these requirements and Amtrak is asking for this to be investigated. The rules are already in place.

Since Amtrak is a quasi-public corporation, asking Amtrak to pay commercial lines for preference is equivalent to directing public funds into private pockets for the use of federally-subsidized rails. That's a recipe for grift.

If the rules already in place can be freely ignored by private companies, there's no way Amtrak can ever be taken seriously as a transportation solution. Since it's already policy that it should be a serious contender, it makes sense to enforce the rules trying to further that goal.

This is nice but it is from 2016. I wonder if that system is still working and maintained.
The point is that you cannot do any meaningful amount of business if “the system” prevents you from banking, or malfunctions in some way that locks you out. Or more insidiously, if someone in power prevents you from banking because they do not like what you have to say. There is no longer a gray market relief valve. All unbanked business activity is illegal.
That's called structuring and will cause all kinds of trouble.
