This is brilliant, thanks. I do see how additional calculations between wet and dry (or just a hygrometer, which the Nest does have already) would be ideal, but as you say, using just a wet-bulb does seem a bit better than using just a dry-bulb in terms of approaching my goal, even if it's not quite all the way there.

Rigging a wet sock (with constant wicking from a water source) onto my actual wall-mounted Nest Thermostat would never fly, as I said, but I have no qualms about doing this experiment with my Nest Temperature Sensor, being a small and relatively cheap thing that I can easily steal for a while...

According to a psychrometric chart [0] it looks like if the dry-bulb temperature stays locked at 70F, while the RH drops from 60% to 40%, the wet-bulb temperature will drop from 62F to 56F. Or if the dry-bulb temperature stays locked at 80F while the RH drops as before, the wet-bulb temperature will drop from 70F to 64F. That's linear enough for my purposes.

Therefore if my conventional (dry-bulb) set point is 75F in the summer, and I'm most comfortable around 50% RH combined with that 75F, then I'll try a set point of 63F with my Nest using the remote Sensor wrapped in wet cloth!

Apparently I also need continuous airflow over this wet-bulb thermometer. I wonder how much.

Yes? What, you want them to keep the pain even though they don't cause it?

That's a pretty twitter-centric view of things

Step on those scales over there please.
Doubtless for some cohort of employers you are correct.

Unfortunately your statement is painted with a wide brush, covering everyone from Jeff at Amazon to the owner of a corner grocery store. Everything from profitable FAANGs, to VC funded startups with hypergrowth ambitions, to small, finally profitable, boot-strapped endeavours.

Clearly among that group there are some who have embraced late-stage capitalism, who are milking their custoners and employees at every turn.

However, I would suggest, that many more have spent a life-time working harder, with less income security, doing what it takes in good times and bad. Looking after employees, treating them, and customers, fairly.

If after all this time they become well compensated, perhaps even rich, calling them "theives" belies the effort, and sacrifice, to reach that place.

AI will create more engineer jobs then it will destroy. Learn math and computational complexity theory and then use AI to augment your productivity as a researcher or engineer. Math knowledge will be indispensable.

Don’t worry if you’re not a math major. You can and should get a degree in mathematics along side an software engineering degree.

AI is a major factor in applied computer science and engineering.
However, there is more to compsci than just "AI". It will make you more productive provided you're above the threshold of engineers who will indeed by automated away.
The software license will still stop you from doing that. No business that would need Oracle will run Oracle software knowingly violating the license.

Ah, personally, I think getting hung up on the whole " legitimate public interest" argument is a distraction.

The simple fact of the matter is that due to how this data is created, it's publicly accessible information: All airplanes flying in civilian airspace are required to broadcast ADS-B data for safety reasons. It gives controllers (and other aircraft in your nearby airspace) a view of what's happening. Your airplane essentially broadcasts a payload every second that sends out your GPS coordinates, heading, speed, altitude, aircraft identification information, etc.

The COOL thing (speaking as an aviation geek), is that you can buy a cheap little antenna, plug it into a Raspberry Pi and start seeing these raw packets from airplanes FLYING OVER YOUR HOUSE. FlightRadar24 and ADSB Exchange basically crowd source a bunch of real-time data from people who have these antennas and are running various types of software.

Basically, since this is happening in public view and the data is available (primarily for safety reasons), then there is really no reasonable expectation of privacy. In a way, it's like people taking a photo of you on the street and posting about it -- since you're in a public space, there is no expectation of privacy. You might not like it, morally it might feel wrong, but there is no reasonable legal reason that bans this.

Fortunately (for Elon), he is a billionaire and can lobby to change laws he doesn't like if he so wishes.
Just because those few large companies only control what ~95% of people see instead of ~100%, that doesn't mean everything's fine. Or are you arguing Musk's censorship of Twitter here isn't a problem because people can just go to InfoWars to find out where Elon's jet is?

>There will be more humans on Mars in 100 years, if we skip sending the humans now and develop the technology to automate process first.

We can't do that anytime soon. We can't even reliably automate most manual labor jobs right now. We can do some neat stuff with robots, but we always need humans supervising them and ready to step in and reset things because the reliability is poor.
Free Speech! Certainly within the realms of a so-called Free Speech Absolutist!
It's also worth noting that revealing real names and workplaces of anonymous accounts is still allowed. The doxxing that is banned is a specific class of doxxing that isn't often considered to be doxxing.
They're bellingcat, they're preternaturally good at this and have amongst other things tracked down Navalny's hit squad, found a russian assassin who killed a target in germany, been crucial in showing that Russia brought down MH-17...

For people who routinely hunt FSB death squads, I suspect that this was old hat.

edit - I looked at the discord on how they did it, and they went frame-by-frame, found a very specific curb, then they looked for that specific curb in the area. After they found the curb, they then cross-referenced it against a building that was visible in a reflection of the car window that they then used to confirm their find.

Musk's definition of free speech in the past included calling his critics pedophiles and making false statements about his company's stock. Now it doesn't include publicly available information about the location of a vehicle he owns?
Your access keys consist of an access key ID (for example, AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE) and a secret access key (for example, wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY).
So any time some shareholders are upset it automagically legitimizes the use of cyberstalking the private vehicles of the company’s executives?

Sorry, but that is a really weird justification. It seems to me that is just the type of issue that corporate boards are designed to handle without the need for vigilanteism.
One of the primary utilities of a social network is being able to connect with people who aren't around you. If everyone on my Twitter was within shouting distance why would I need to Tweet at all?
His reality distortion field prevents him from feeling that.
Why would we be scared at all? Until we can trust 100% that AI can take any vague specification from a PM or designer and turn it into bulletproof code that respects the existing code base we are going to need programmers. The difference between that and this version which can only nail leetcode questions feels vast. Like the difference between an AI being able to play Go vs one being able to govern a city.

Striseland effect in full force here.
But you wrote the statement "he never did", as if you'd done your homework and had concrete facts. And others have replied to your comment saying "yeh he never apologised" etc. Note the virality of wrong information when you're on an attack path.

Here's some facts... The diver guy launched a public attack on Musk at a time when kids needed help. Everyone was focused on helping the kids, but this diver decided to get some attention by insulting Musk out of the blue, in a CNN interview.

Musk's sub wasn't used for the cave rescue, but was kept by the Thai Navy who said they could use it for future rescues. The navy were trained in how to use it.

The diver guy was wrong to attack Musk. So the sub couldn't be used in the cave, so what? It was help, undeserving of scorn. I'm not excusing Musk's reactionary comments, but I'm glad the diver lost the court case. The diver wanted 160 million dollars and was awarded zero by the jury.

And speaking of apologies, the diver never apologised or backed away from accusing Musk of a stunt and telling him to stick his sub up his rear end. A sub that a team of people worked on, not just Musk.
They've had literally two profitable quarters in their whole corporate history. They went from being considered an equal competitor to Facebook to... not, as Facebook was able to bring in advertising revenue and Twitter wasn't.

Every money-losing tech company claims that they could turn the spigot to profitability at any time and the reason they're not profitable is short term capital expenditures; the proof is in the pudding.
The "free speech" man is on a suspending rampage.
It's interesting that this:
> the right thing to do is to give SRE teams the power to say "no" and refuse to take the pager for any particular service

Was a tenet in the original Google SRE material. SREs help operate well-behaving services using engineering best-practices. Services that fail to behave well and bust their error and support budgets repeatedly go back to the teams that wrote them.

It is ironic that only a week or so after the Twitter Papers were released (where a primary focus was suppressing stories and accounts with little justification and hastily written new rules), Musk is now doing the exact same thing.
Or perhaps use it in a hospital to play music that matches the state of a patient’s health as they are passing away.
On that note, for anyone who would argue he didn’t consent to giving up his right to privacy on where he travels, he explicitly used his presence as a tool to endorse companies, people, and activities.

You can’t actively imply people should give you and your business partners money because you physically showed up to a location and then be upset that people care where you are physically located
It's pretty clear historically that this is contingent on other factors- landed aristocrats seemed mostly fine, and it's suspicious to me that these deaths of despair happen to be increasing as street prices of opioids drop. But ultimately I don't think that matters! Even granting that people wouldn't simply occupy themselves with the same signaling games they always have, that's still a great problem to have! I mean, at a minimum anyone who really feels like doing meaningful drudgework can just go join some kind of luddite community, but I find fully automated luxury gay space communism somewhat harder to come by.
I wonder if second system effect looms large in the minds of those who are maintaining those COBOL programs. At least with a legacy program, you probably know that it can keep running for another year for a predictable cost. On the other hand, spinning up a scratch build of its replacement is potentially a black hole.

I've witnessed second system effect.

The funny thing is that a lot of "home computer" ads continually promised that it would be easier to balance your checkbook or evaluate your stock portfolio using these machines. Perhaps that was aspirational advertising or something, but the actual implementation of those tasks on the Apple wasn't really that great.

Things finally broke loose when VisiCalc showed up in 1979.
Someone I respect said science became ossified - "rigid or fixed in attitude or position" - in 1845. A general description of the 3 suspects was provided.

This only became true after the loss of the shuttle Columbia on the STS-107 mission in 2003. After Columbia, a rigorous process was put in place for checking the heat tiles on the underside of the orbiter for damage. If damage was discovered, the shuttle crew would shelter aboard the International Space Station for about 40 days until a rescue shuttle came to get them. This mission profile was known as Launch On Need or Contingency Shuttle Crew Support. The rescue missions were numbered in the STS-3xx range. [0]

A different rescue mission profile was needed for STS-125, which serviced the Hubble Space Telescope and couldn’t reach the orbital inclination of the ISS. This rescue mission, STS-400, had to be ready to launch within three days of a problem being found.

The last planned shuttle mission was STS-134, with STS-335 as the LON mission. Since the hardware for 335 existed, NASA decided to fly it as an operational mission, STS-135. At this point there could be no backup shuttle, so 135 was flown with just four crew members who would shelter on ISS and come down one at a time via Soyuz over the course of about a year if the shuttle couldn’t re-enter.

What about the damaged orbiter stuck at ISS? Orbiters were quite expensive, so NASA developed hardware (which was stored on ISS) to attempt a landing of the empty orbiter via remote control. Whatever the probability of success, it was better than zero.

After the loss of STS-107, the investigation board asked NASA to devise a rescue that could have been attempted if the damage had been identified early in the mission. [1] The result was an audacious rescue plan that would have pushed two orbiters, their crews, and NASA itself to the absolute limit. We will never know if it could have been done.

It does matter! I'm assuming that any sane person, especially a highly trained professional, is not fully relying on automation and has at least some idea of its limitations. In the case of MCAS, corporate fraud distorted the level of trust pilots had in automation, leading to loss of life.

"Misled" is a stupid word for "we constantly learn more and should be adapting our positions."

There is zero evidence for a "haha i told you you were being misled" position. You are performing either foolish or disingenuous logical gymnastics to equate something like "adjusted recommendations accordingly" with "it was intentionally misleading the whole time."

Show me a place where people haven't adjusted their behavior as the virus has evolved, more time has passed creating more data, vaccination rounds have been administered, death rates have evolved, and exposure/infection has happened. It ain't here in liberal California, so is there any such strawman place you're arguing against in the US? Go out on the street and look around and observe that people are being rational and adapting over time instead of keeping up your silly little "haha i'm smarter than you you fell for a hoax" keyboard battle.
Given the rules at where I work, we aren't allowed to use elements case rules anyways, so Option 3 has no downside for me haha.
I'd say that good front-end devs are just getting started with seeing what's possible.

Think about future user interfaces on the web: peoples' expectations for quality are becoming much higher and the market might majorly start to trend towards PWAs that have to try and rival Native Apps in quality. You need seriously sharp devs to pull this stuff off at a high level and make it work fast.

Additionally, we're just getting started in terms of metaverse and 3d stuff. Forget Zuckerberg's nonsense, but just think in terms of what an actual good browser based 3d world might look like with webgl and shaders: you need talented front-end devs to push the limits on that kind of stuff.
That’s a good point, local production cuts out the cost of transportation
> I don't care if I would have a statistically better outcome with the vaccine, I took great pleasure in standing up and defying their bullying and coercion.

I don't understand this line of reasoning.

If one is being bullied and coerced into what you and I both consider to be the correct decision, one ought to a) make the correct decision, and then b) deal with the bullies?
Retweeting live location of someone’s child should be frown upon, lest it enables such child to become a target for a kidnapper(s).

Since the child happens to belong to the owner of Twitter, it comes as no big surprise that the protactive aspect of parenting has kicked into overdrive.

Oh well.
I mean, I'll agree that it's slightly better in absolute terms. "Infinitely" is a strong word choice for a case where 95% of users will still be in the dark, unless you insist on using the term in a pedantic mathematical sense.

You could get this score alongside the results if you wanted to generate images but know which ones probably shouldn't be used commercially, or you could choose to filter your results by some similarity threshold
Correct, the hijra community is an abusive set of cults with strict hierarchies. It is, however, what appears to be the least bad option for a lot of Indian trans people facing ostracism. This reflects incredibly poorly on Indian society at large.

Many trans people that join the hijra community leave it due to the abuse. The ex-hijra community is one of trans women that has been around for roughly as long as the hijra community has been.

Here's a project from former members of the hijra community that left because of the abuse they faced in it: https://aravaniartproject.com

In any case, trans people have been around for as long as people have been around.

What does the phrase “free speech absolutist” mean to you?

He’s described himself as one, and I can’t see a way to square the idea that he says he is a free speech absolutist with the excuse that free speech is hard to regulate in the real world. He’s either a moron or was incapable of understanding even first level consequences of his actions or he’s an actual moron
I'm willing to believe him that there was some kind of scary encounter for his driver and son last night. This would match his other stated exception to his free speech platform desire. That being refusing to reinstate Alex Jones, who he, as a father who lost a child, finds personally repugnant.

Anything he dislikes, if he filters through the lens of his children, he's willing to ban, apparently.
Computer vision for satellite imagery. LLMs might be good for harassing oil companies.
I agree it doesn't really matter that these accounts are banned. The only thing worth pointing out is literally this exact account was something Elon pointed to as an account he would protect on Twitter as an example of his support of free speech.

He can ban away, but he's just proving his free speech stance is meaningless. He'll just ban whatever he doesn't like regardless of if it's legal or not. Which is fine, but don't hold him up as some defender of free speech.
