Let's look at the data: according to [1], 27.5z of Americans 25 or older have a bachelor's degree. The population, according to Google, is 329.5 million. That gives us 90.6 million with a bachelors.

According to [2], we get 38.1 million older than 25 who have some student debt. That works out to 38.1 million, giving us 42%. (I excluded the 24 or younger cohort, only because the Census Bureau did as well).

Calculations are shown below.

So the statement "Most well-educated Americans" is factually wrong. Isn't it? Whatever you think "most" means, it has to mean "greater than half."

> the ability to use the free development environment to compile and load any program you want

You can load any app you want, but it disappears after 3 days. Then you have to load it again. To keep the app on your phone, you need to load it onto your phone again every 3 days using your computer.

It's obviously set up for developer testing, not for someone trying to actually get use out of an app on their phone.
And how exactly do you see this being achieved? The fact that GPT is trained on Web data will inevitably associate a political leaning to it's output, because a large part of what's in the Internet is more or less relatable to politiccs.

Let's say that you can filter political content out of the training data (which would considerably decrease the amount of data): defining the terms is essentiel. What is even "political neutrality and objectivity"? At what point do you consider something "politically neutral"? And what do you expect GPT or any other chatbot to reply if they get asked something politically related?

That's nonsense. I think people using GPT are intelligent enough to not be influenced by what an AI can produce as an output.
How do you know they're not investing in it? If they are would it be worth their trying to make money on it or would they consider it worth more if they kept it to themselves?
Not necessarily. First generation stars were, theoretically, enormous both due to low metallicity of the collapsed medium and a higher average concentration of said medium. These stars lifespans were extremely short, shorter that blue giants we see today. So novas due to the death of these stars happened fairly early in the lifespan of the universe (talking about few million years after the big bang).

Therefore, life could have developed in a few tens to few hundreds of millions of years after the big bang. That's still true even if we assume that heavier elements are created mainly when neutron stars collide and not by super/hypernovas as we theorized before LIGO/Virgo observatories.

Consequently, we likely are not a "progenitor" civilization in the universe if we only consider planets formation. We might not see anyone out there either because there's a great filter for intelligent life to emerge (so the bottleneck is in our past) or because few/no civilizations get to have an impact on their host stars (the filter is in our future) that would allow us to see them.

Agreed, but only if we do the same for Facebook, Twitter et al.
> Developers are about to get a surprise about what they're actually paying for.

IMO a lot of developers are paying for Apple to have an unreasonable amount of control and the entire point of side loading or competing app stores is to get rid of that because we don't want to be paying Apple to act against our interests.

I don't want to pay for Apple to "verify" my app. I want them to use the OS to enforce user granted permissions and that's it.
Hi! I think it solves many of the same problems, just differently.

I would think it's more of a beginner-friendly choice for those who are new to NixOS and find NixOps a bit difficult to learn.

Select a starter, have it all deployed and configured for you, do some coding, push to git and click deploy.

One of the goals of Shipnix is to have a good selection of starters to just get started quickly with building and shipping products. And I hope it can be a gateway drug for increased adoption of NixOS in the bootstrapper, freelancer and digital agency space.

For a veteran in NixOS and NixOps that already likes that flow, it might not be that interesting
I've never written an extension for Postgres, but for the ones I've installed, it's amounted to copying some files and running "CREATE EXTENSION" This feels pretty trivial to me already.

If I understand the Binance situation correctly they do not claim to be holding USDC for you, if you give them USDC then they convert it to their BUSD token (also a stable coin) and that's what's listed on your account. So when you withdraw your BUSD to USDC, they may have to go buy some USDC to actual service your withdrawal.

I don't use them, I'm going off of this page: https://www.binance.com/en/support/faq/what-is-busd-auto-con...
I wish what you say was possible, because I certainly like that world: my preference would be anarchy, except people keep disappointing me by finding new ways to dominate and rule — it seems (human) nature abhors a (power) vacuum.
For a while I thought it was about a FIAT Panda EV. I may have some fun memories in a bucket like that.
I think "because it's there" is the more respectable subset of "because I can", covering stuff like climbing Mount Everest and venturing to the South Pole. "because I can" for me often implies something like asserting power over other people or just generally being an asshole.
A bit ironic that they call them “stablecoins” when they keep falling over.
There were several powered flights prior to the Wright Brothers. The Europeans had already figured out lift and control surfaces. They had even figured out thrust, but they were using small steam engines so they could maximize the power to weight ratio, but it wasn't enough power for human flight. It was the Wright Brothers who used the internal combustion engine, another European invention, to solve the thrust problem. There's legitimate contention as to whether they were even the first to do that, but they're officially recognized as the first airplane for human flight.

My point being the Wright Flyer didn't just pop out of thin air (ha!). The Wright Brothers stood on the shoulders of giants, European giants.
I'd be interested in chatting about this further - I don't know many others operating in the same space, I can be contacted through the website in my profile (Director).

Our scale is a bit unusual, its more like high end small scale than large scale, think more like an architect designed house rather than a commercial building. As a result every site has some fairly unique features and Shopify often struggles with those. It's getting tricker to balance over time as the bar for a 'basic' store keeps being raised though.
Very much a laymen also, however funnily enough I was listening to a bbc program called in our time, a couple of nights ago, where a similar topic was discussed one comment was that life is carbon based and for carbon to exist a star has to die, so yes therefore we are in the early stages. Will try to fin the episode….
I know for a fact that NASA (at least JPL) uses JIRA.

My marketing manager and I had organized with JPL to put out a press release when Mars Curiosity landed on Mars. We waited up all night for the Rover to land and got the OK from JPL to publish. It was cool being a very small part of that journey by virtue of my product being used to develop the mission software!

Which is a good reason to get out. Stablecoins have only two stable points, 1 and 0. When they crash, they go all the way. Look at what happened with the stablecoins that already crashed.
Oddly enough airplanes are like this too, as I understand it -- the skin is integral to the structure.
Why Engineers Suffer from Imposter Syndrome and How to Overcome It
In general, we're protected from the true costs of our decisions. It's not just consumption of animal products, but negative externalities generally. We're willing to accept terrible things when divorced from the consequences of our actions and, even when made aware of these consequences, we dismiss them to protect our conceptualization of ourselves as "good" people.
I'd be interested in any research that backs up your point 1. Russia is not all that economically prosperous. Neither is Mongolia.

Singapore and Taiwan are very much so. And Singapore is right on the equator.
political neutrality according to which country's "neutral"?
Was that actually using up all of the male chicks? More than half?

If not then it's not really a 'solution'.
Cars require regular maintenance and have known failure modes if you don't bother to do it its neither magical nor dangerous. Snapraid + ext4 doesn't particularly simpler than zfs just different. The fundamental tradeoff of space vs reliability seems to be mathematically tied. It's impossible to do better in one dimension without sacrificing the other. Making it possible to lose SOME of your data in fact seems to be the worst choice. ZFS makes it trivial to lose nothing. Use enough hardware and do cheap replication regularly and scrub periodically.

If anything the fact that snapraid by not live replicating every change to every disk in the array makes it impossible to achieve the reliability offered by ZFS. It's forever the inferior cousin and in fact more complicated for layering a dissimilar technology on top of the other.
That might be a country or phone-specific thing, with various Android phones in the US I've never gotten any kind of sound, just persistent buzzing until you dismiss it.
My pessimistic self feels like the short-term effect is that it sets a deadline by which oil companies know they have to extract and sell all the existing oil on the planet, and a doubling down on increased emissions now because fusion will solve it eventually.
Decoding the “changes” can be dependent on the “changes” in a previous frame, notably that the prediction for motion vectors can come from previous frames’ motion vectors. Which I frames obviously don’t have.

Besides that the only way to losslessly re-encode frames is to use lossless encoding, which would easily be a 50-100x size bloat.
It's not just (or even predominantly) patent law: if there is no explicit or implicit agreement for FDA to approve some treatments that modulate ageing (to even become a possibility, this category of indications should be created) and for the healthcare provider complex (insurers, governments, clinics) to provide said treatments to the public, there is no prospective market.

Until there is a coordinated push to align our regulatory and medical systems with this challenge, the status quo will remain frozen.

Will a few remaining decades be enough for the metaphorical ice to crack?

Exactly why it is normal that nutritional science is taken with a grain of salt, not cause researchers are slacking or producing bad studies. Just the fact they have data sources with a giant astrix attached.

Imho i think this also plays into the misinformation in the space. It's hard to prove anything and I find I mostly wait for a good meta analysis before putting my eggs in that basket
I was sort of being facetious with the 40 hours thing. Nobody really gets 40 hours of interaction of a candidate before hiring. More typical is closer to 5-8, which means they can make a decision in a single day.

Edit: even an intense 6-interview loop including a "sell" dinner can be done in a day if scheduled properly. The multiple weeks thing is entirely poor scheduling on the part of the company.
> Manufacturing electric cars IS NOT GOING TO REDUCE OUR FOSSIL FUEL EMISSIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never understood how anyone could think that.

I think you misspelled "eliminate". Some of the sources of total lifetime emissions from electric cars are different from sources of total lifetime emissions for ICE cars. It's reasonable to believe the sums won't be equal. Power plants don't have size/weight constraints of ICEs, so it's rather easy to get significantly higher efficiency out of them (plus economies of scale). It's not idiotic to think total lifetime emissions will be reduced by producing new EVs instead of new ICE vehicles. (Though, keeping an already manufactured ICE car on the road may likely be better than recycling the car and producing a new EV.)
UX-wise, IMO This is the right way to do it. I believe we will see entire new browsers centred around this type of ideas.

However, it is still the early days and I would have personally gone for a longer-term vision, with

- a more Freemium-oriented pricing to grow the userbase.

- a more openly extensible approach : If you don't want to open source the app, you could at least open-source an interfacing part through which people can augment the usages with custom scripts of their own.
Month does sound long to me, but "a few weeks" isn't crazy given the reality on the ground.

Note, I am not saying this is good or how it ought to be, I am just saying how it is.

Let me ask you - if you were the recruiter at Apple and let's say you owned 5 roles each of which got 2000 resumes (I am stabbing at a number but it's Apple, so likely tons of people jump on every role) - how long would it take you to get through it all?

Back of the envelope: 5 roles x 2k resumes = 10k resumes.
If it took you just one minute to read a resume and you did nothing but read them every day for 10 hours that's like 17 working days = so 3+ weeks.

Keep in mind that this pile of resumes is your lowest likelihood of success pile - these are not the people you'd identified priori as targets, they weren't even internally referred, they are just mainly random people spamming you or are very weakly qualified. It "doesn't matter" if one of them is a diamond in the rough like the op was describing - it might take you weeks to get to their resume, and that's only if you don't fill the role w someone from the higher bandwidth channel.

So like I said, not "great" but - what would you do differently if you were HR here?

A nuke on Ukrainian soil also has the problem of the prevailing wind direction being from west to east. Detonating a nuke on Ukraine looks a lot like detonating a (smaller) dirty bomb on Russia.
They can’t handle demand. They could increase pricing.

Perhaps add a different business model. Maybe there’s something they can do with their related company ASMI.

If they can get things to work in worse environments they could eat off of the realestate and facility budget.

If it were a US company, it would’ve been well known many many years ago, causing more demand in the stock
I have no idea if any of this is true, but an argument you might hear is that companies that make some profit can capture the agencies to make a lot of profit, while companies that don't make any profit can't exist. So, you could defend absolute bans even while admitting they are excessive if you don't have faith in the system to keep a more nuanced policy stable.
I'm no expert, but I think you have it backwards. My understanding is NIF raison d'etre is weapons research, with a power generation being a secondary concern. It got funded because of weapons research regardless of whether it was relevant to fusion power generation.

It may surprise people, but the DOE is the government body that is responsible for nuclear weapons research in the US.
I have problems with 'unless' even in plain English text. I'm pretty good at English, I live in the USA, but I was not born here and my native language does not have a word for 'unless' (you have to use 3 words to express that idea!).

Funny, I just built a largish (12x16 two story) shed in my back yard, but decided to just learn timber framing because how hard could it really be?

The final cost was $5,206.72 (all local pine including boards, no plywood or glue, cedar shingles), and I partly took off about 2 months of work (working on this during the day) to frame it.

There are some photos here, though far more on twitter: https://simonsarris.substack.com/p/the-goose-palace

If you can stick frame a shed its certainly not beyond you to timber frame one. You'll need to read a book or two and buy a few hundred $ of chisels. But no part of it is fundamentally difficult. Before this project I've used my circular saw more for cutting down brush than building.

>>o you really want to trust your personal decisions on health, diet, and entertainment to those elected via a popularity contest? And the "experts" they solicit their advice from?

Maybe not every personal decision, but certainly decisions that scale should be handled by actual experts. And yes, actual experts exist who actually know more than you and I, and can make better decisions based on the actual data they have gathered and knowledge they have gained, vs our 5minute Internet search.

And much of what you see as a "personal decision" is actually decided by corporate money. When smoking was completely unregulated, corporations advertised and distributed at will. Smoking rates declined dramatically when advertising and distribution was constrained. Yes, we can make a decision collectively to not make certain kinds of harmful activities readily available and pushed on the people by sophisticated influence campaigns.

From the article:
>>"Thousands of people will live longer, healthier lives and the health system will be NZ$5 billion (US$3.2 billion) better off from not needing to treat the illnesses caused by smoking,"

Personally, I'm not thrilled to be paying into the insurance system to support the massive healthcare costs of smokers. If they can be made to pay in their FULL cost, then that is fine.

Otherwise, go make your personal decision - grow and cure some tobacco, and roll your own. Nobody is stopping you. The only thing they are stopping is every corner store selling it.
