Breakthrough:

1. a sudden advance especially in knowledge or technique

2. an act or instance of moving through or beyond an obstacle

Milestone:

1. an action or event marking a significant change or stage in development.

I'm failing to see why labeling it one or the other even matters.
This happened to me too. I opened a new account with a different email address, credit card and phone number (used google voice).
I get you are jokingly musing, but let's not open our minds so much our brains fall out.

Jamming an open wound into soil is going against the well established knowledge we have on how infection works.
i find it hilarious how there's barely any discussion about any of this elon/twitter/tesla shit on this site, also mb im bad at finding the posts
So, refrain from reaching a judgment then? Or at least, use plausibility: try to imagine something that would rule out what they're claiming. If you can't, consider that moderate evidence that their claims are good.
This is exactly what I think as well and I got a serious education on this with the whole WeWork fiasco and that stopped me from losing my money investing in IPOs. I was going to invest in Snowflake and Airbnb. Also check out what GoPro stock IPO price was and today's price. The company can be fine but the stock can just not recover.
Here in London (obviously YMMV) black cabs have an app, but they're also still routinely doing things like pretending their card machine isn't working. Not saying that people should user Uber / Lyft etc, just that all private transport is a bit shady.
But you would still say that a company went public vis SPAC IPO.
Responding in a pedantic/jaded manner is one way to assert a form of intellectual dominance. For this audience I feel like that sort of dominance is unsurprising.
Interesting.

Maybe also add a "reliability" cost, so something like S3 would be more reliable than a more complex system like RedShift.
Really glad we regulated earlier IPOs out of existence so mom and pop traders can only invest in "safe" companies after 99% of the upside is gone.
This looks like a problem of scaling. The punishment should scale with repeat offenses in order to both provide clear consequences and to prevent a cost of business attitude.
But, they are the same, because google treats them as the same?

Are you saying that there is someone registered with exactly the same account name on gmail, except with an added period?
Your credit card company is the entity you can expect to apply basic logic.

In the short term, that logic will be to refund your money to keep your annual spend, but not to bother Uber. In the long term, this could raise the fees Uber pays for credit card services.

Long before Uber, a JAX airport auto rental was improperly tacking an $8 fee onto every "paid in full" Hotwire reservation. This can add up over a year. When challenged, they lied and claimed it was an upgrade. American Express of course made no effort to protest this, they just refunded my $8. Not very satisfying, but still my best course of action.
Isn't it possible to compare dna between marsupials, mammals and monotremes and figure out which is 'earlier'? The paper described depends entirely on fossils which is good but not a smoking gun.
Good question. Discourse forums do not do it, at least not by default. And isn't Mastodon's content moderation reviewable? So there are exceptions.

Is this simply our beloved "fake it till you make it" ethos at work again?
Is this "cloud oriented" or "AWS oriented"?
Yeah, I was thinking of Honnold, so I meant free soloing is preferable to caving.

It is kind of funny how stupid we are about the use of chemicals. I was just talking to a bio vineyard owner this weekend about why he choses no-chem approach. To my surprise he does that so that his grapes are more(!) resistant to sickness (especially fungus).
Astigmatism is a bitch in the way that you cannot compensate it by moving closer or further relative to the computer screen. You need to use your prescription glasses or you will face eyestrain, period.

I have heavy myopia, astigmatism and went through cataracts procedure, so my eyesight is not really eagle like. What works for me is using light background themes (night/dark schemes do not really work) and increasing the terminal/editor font size and decreasing the screen resolution (I have my 4k monitor running at 1920x1080, so there you go). Also, do not code at night without indirect lighting, your pupils will be thankful.

But the most important thing is: do not neglect your eyes. If you were prescripted glasses, use them, and visit the doctor every year.

Why? I guess its something to do with rules about penny stocks. but in the modern world theres no reason why we can't have stocks at $0.00002.

I'm guessing this is a USian thing? here in the uk stocks are regularly priced under £2.

Is this legal in Europe? https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/r...

>Yes, individuals should not be subject to a decision that is based solely on automated processing (such as algorithms) and that is legally binding or which significantly affects them.

I suppose being banned from Uber can very well be something that significantly affects you, especially if you live in a city where it's the primary form of taxi-like transport.
I do the same, wearing my computer glasses whenever I'm in the house, even though things are a bit fuzzy at the far end of the room (exception: playing games from the couch). I feel less eye strain wearing them than my normal progressive lenses (at least in the house). Part of it might be because it's just a flat prescription, not a gradient prescription like my progressives, but I'm not sure.

Regardless, I have astigmatism, and the biggest improvement I've had is when I first got dedicated glasses with a single (non-progressives) computer-distance prescription about 8 years ago. I didn't realize it was an option before that. But suddenly using the computer became so much easier as a result.

I get reminders what it's like to work on a computer without them too, because sometimes I forget to pack my computer glasses in my laptop bag when I go to a coffeeshop, and it doesn't make sense to go back to get them. I have a much more annoying time using my laptop then and tend to be less productive.
Encryption usually involves a signing/authentification step to prevent certain crypto attacks, but in symmetric encryption schemes those only prove that the document hasn't been modified after encryption. You still create a different document, sign it with the same password, and nobody would be able to prove that that's not the original.

With asymetric encryption you have a sort of signature because only the sender has the encryption key, so forging somemthing that opens with the same decryption key is hard. But I have yet to see somebody encrypt pdfs with an asymetric method.
Cachix: ZSTD Compression by Default
My Samsung monitor has a 4-way joystick control for navigating the menu. It's the worst physical monitor menu UX I've used. It's also on the back of the monitor, which makes it a pain to reach. When I bought it, I only had one input, so it didn't bother me.

Now that I have two inputs, and I switch a few times a day, I'm considering getting a new monitor, in some part to move to one with better input controls.
We need either an app that can compile LaTeX source (+all included libs, which sounds like a lot, but it's equivalent to a JS-heavy web page) on all the clients (preferably as a browser plugin or integrated feature!)

or authors should distribute their PDFs as bundles that include formatted versions for all of paper, large screen, and small screen.
It’s going to be a painful 2023 for these companies and some likely won’t make it or will be sold off in fire sales.

Not to sound cold but the market needs a good cleansing and some of these companies that had unrealistic valuations need to get flushed out of the system. It’s not pleasant for those that find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time but there were just some completely baseless valuations set during funding rounds and IPOs in 2020-early 2022 and now that needs to get cleaned up.

Cash and profit are king again. Anyone without both (or a absolute ton of cash to get through the market cleanse without raising) is in for a painful ride.
Making Sure AMD Has the Complete Tech Package
My points are:

1. Elon was planning to put in a new CEO all along. He admitted this back in November!

2. The erratic behavior was a publicity stunt (which PG was in on).

The purpose is to get lots of stagnant and new users engaged with Twitter as the saga unfolds, and to set the stage for the new “hero” CEO to take the reigns from the eccentric owner and lead Twitter into a “new era” etc.

This spikes their active user count, boosts all of their KPI’s, and gets those new/reactivated users following the saga until they form a Twitter habit. It also gives Twitter more favorable optics with “establishment” advertisers as the “bad guy” is dethroned to go focus on rockets and cars, while the tension and drama remain with Elon on the board. I’m sure there will be future drama between Elon and the new CEO that will unfold openly on Twitter. That is also by design.

It’s obvious. They know mastedon isn’t a threat. It’s a federated mess and can’t handle the load.

More on this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33594961

There are independent Twitter alternatives that are a threat, refuse to to respect any facet of the establishment Overton window and allow all legal speech, don’t rely on their 3rd party hosting services/app stores, and could easily scale, but notice PG didn’t go to any of those. The Twitter policy also didn’t mention any of the real threats. That is by design. I’m not sure why people here can’t see it.
Are encrypted PDFs signed? AFAIK it's just symmetric encryption. You only need a password to decrypt, after all
But the body during evolution didn't have access to ice (studying polar bears and pinguins might be interesting).

So it could be that ice is a good thing, just like air conditioning is a good thing, but nature had no way of evolving that.
> Nobody pays me for that wasted time of my life.

Would you say the same for self checkout at the grocery store?

What about burger bars where you have to put your own toppings on?
It will, day after day.

In a city where people park on the streets because there are no or not enough personal parking slots (very common in Europe, don't know in the USA,) it's either a (metered?) charger for every public parking slot or a boring 20 minutes stop every few days.
>Because you don't need to.

But GDPR indeed requires it for many kinds of decisionmaking, no?
Doesn’t it stand for “ice compress elevate”??
Given how many shadow banned accounts keep going on with their tirades well after they've been banned, it means it is good to keep them. I suppose some just need the outlet to write whatever inane idiotic crap passes through their mind even if nobody can engage with them.

Every comment from a shadow banned account is one dang doesn't have to waste time moderating.
Fortnite made 4 billion

You think that will change future behavior?

I doubt it.
Yes, athletes have been both icing and heating injuries for centuries, and doing many other things that make no sense.

However, it could be the case that icing injuries is a good idea if you need to perform the next day (or otherwise soon) but a bad idea if you want to heal the best/soonest that you can.

Or it could all just be nonsense, no shortage of that, no matter how popular.
ESG as an investment thesis is a sad joke. I wonder how much of the money that was destroyed by investing in oatly was done because of virtue signaling. You couldn't seriously look at projections and think this company would ever be worth $10billion right?

Here is a blog post by the founder

https://medium.com/@sgadikota/building-a-circular-carbon-eco...

with the line "there will be continuous downward pressure on the price of a ton of captured carbon" which is the #1 problem in this field which is that carbon capture is dominated by nature-based solutions which appear to be low cost, but aren't verifiable and often violate common sense (you spend 4 hours on a flight, a patch of forest has to be preserved forever)

The focus on reuse of alkaline waste is shared with other areas of green materials such as geopolymers.
Sounds like an overly pessimistic view. You IPO to allow early investors to exit and raise capital to expand. There are a lot of very successful IPOs from before 2020 and some of those that went public in the last two years will be ok
Neutrons from DD fusion will carry a smaller fraction of energy that neutrons from DT fusion. They also don't need to breed tritium, and don't need to deposit their energy at high temperature (since no thermal cycle is necessary to convert that heat to power, especially in D3He-optimized reactors; the heat can just be dissipated.) This means the cooling could be simple, with water at moderate temperature and pressure. This would also shield the neutrons effectively.

The heating part I'd worry about most is photons hitting the inner surface of the fusion chamber. These will be absorbed in a thin surface layer, and since the system is pulsed the instantaneous heating could be quite high. They might have to resort to a liquid layer that's ablated by the thermal pulse. This would eject gas into the chamber, but they're using a pulsed approach anyway so this could be ok, if the pulse is shorter than the time the evaporated gas needs to reach the plasma.
HCL in particular has so many annoying edge-case issues and limitations due to its immaturity that it becomes intractable beyond simple use cases.

Thankfully Pulumi[0] allows me to write Terraform configuration in a language I know without reinventing the wheel. It feels like Pulumi's approach is better in every single way I can imagine. I simply do not see the reason for HCL whatsoever.

I was taught RICE which is:

Rest, Immobilization, Cold, Elevation

The article mentions a shift from ICE to RICE (which I’m aware of) and then another shift to PRICE, which I’m not aware of— anyone know what the P stands for?
The same thing happened to me with Tinder. I guess… because they would never tell me why I was banned, even though my profile is boring and tame and so are all my chats.
Pacer took thinking about nuclear fuels in a lot of new and interesting directions. For the use case of interest, they really wanted to maximize the fusion yield fraction, minimize the radioactive products, and minimize the total yield. Had it ever been allowed to proceed to a commercial scale, these would have been very tight, very challenging, technical constraints.

If you relax one of those requirements, then it becomes instantly clear that limitless cheap energy is possible. For a somewhat absurd example, imagine that we build Pacer plants in space instead of on Earth. There's no longer any size constraint on the blast chamber. You can go to triple-stage (like Tzar Bomba) or more designs, at which point the fusion fraction gets extremely close to 100%, and the cost per unit energy becomes somewhat hard to fathom. But on Earth, it still would have been expensive.
Right, see my reply to hcurtiss.
New evidence links nasal viral infections to rapid Alzheimer's progression
I never get good prescriptions. I'm too nervous. All I can think about is that I am wasting their time, by the third time they ask "this one? ... or this one? ... Before? After? Before? After?" I clam up. I'll just say one cause I feel so incompetent that I can't even tell this busy, smart person which picture on a wall looks better.

If you were like me, then it was just that slower speed, that connection, that ability to stop and consider, is what would get me the prescription I want.
But Wolfram Alpha will do them all easily.
My naive layman question would be, what does that actually mean? Couldn't they just issue fewer shares and get a higher price for each one?
This title does not match the article.

This article / "paper" is barely a stub. No study was done and I don't think this could be called a meta-analysis, but rather a summary citing a few other articles (only 2 relevant to icing in the context of avoiding anti-inflammatories). Even if it's true, this article does nothing to support the claims and does not address reasons why ice would be used.
Dystopian. As if the enemy would hesitate to mow down their opponents when they surrender. I can only speak for myself but I would never surrender to a machine. Machines and the internet dehumanize people and they are less hesitant to do something awful.

Rather I would identify myself if the drone was not confident of who I was assuming it was one of mine. [1] If an enemy drone came within 20 miles of my team I would be displeased with my signal intelligence group had they not instantly put HIMARS on the drone command center coordinates.

[Edit] I could however see pretending to surrender. My secondary team's sniper needs to shoot the frag or at very least the drone itself and we need to extract the encryption keys off it ASAP.

Tell that to my graphics card. Had to update to 10 from 7 about 1-2 years ago because my graphics card started making very scary loud sounds when playing games.
To be clear, though, they say "avoid icing" (i.e. The use of cold compresses for pain relief). It isn't what the article is primarily about, but it still is not their recommendations.

Thanks, really appreciate this input! Finding a mentor is easier said than done but agree that it's an important step.
> That's a very silly way to frame it because there's only like 3 commercial breeder reactors today. Why is that the case? Because energy has been cheap, we know how to do PWRs so there's little reason to do the work necessary to use Uranium more efficiently. It's only in the last 3 or 4 years that the world has collectively realized the extent of our problems.

There are zero commercial breeders today. There are zero demonstration breeders that use Pu239 or U233 as their fissile fuel. There is one reactor doing something approximating breeding by playing a shell game with MOX and has made no public claim of producing more Pu239 than it consumses under normal operation.

Your argument about not being needed does, however, apply to pumped hydro which has geography for thousands of >50GWh sites all around the world. Only a tiny handful of them are needed.

> I feel that you don't appreciate the sheer number of machines we'd have to build to accomplish a renewable only primary energy design. How much mining and refining we'd have to do. Things that we cannot do at scale today without fossil fuels. Nuclear energy's main advantages are the sheer energy density you get, on demand. 6000 power plants to replace global primary energy is a bargain compared to the hundreds of millions of machines we'd have to build to do that with solar/wind. If solar/wind weren't intermittent, it might be doable. But we really suck at storing energy today.

"Big number scary" is not an argument. What matters is raw materials and cost. These both favor monocrystalline solar by such a large margin that there's no contest. A mix with onshore wind using modular foundations has reached concrete parity with Gen III reactors or an EPR and offshore is not far behind. Nuclear reactors require less iron, but far more chromium. Only the latter is in anything approximating short supply and iron mining for either pales in comparison to the tens of billions of tonnes of ore that need to be mined (or leached where geography or apathy towards the locals allows) to fuel the reactors.

The overwhelming majority of Uranium ore is an absolutely terrible fuel barely more energy dense than coal if used in a PWR (but requiring much more processing), and its only redeeming features are low carbon emissions and portability once you mill and refine it.

> Or we could build a single APR-1400 nuclear plant for 1.35 GW on demand. The UAE just built 4 of them in 10 years, for 6B each. And each of them will last at least 2 times as long as the turbines.

You forgot the mandatory service contract to KEPCO for another $20 billion, that its net power is 1.1GW per reactor even when nothing goes wrong (Korea's reactors historically have about a 7% unplanned outage rate on top of the 15% planned) and that O&M which is on top of the service contract costs as much as replacing the entire wind turbine (rather than just repowering which is commensurable with normal maintenance on a thermal generator assuming there isn't a massive upgrade available for lower than the original price).
rpi 4 HDMI can't do 4K120. I'm looking for a relatively new piece of hardware. Recent Apple TVs have the PHY for it but it isn't enabled in software.

Also, Apple's decode engine struggles with 4K60. The right answer is likely a full-on mini-PC, but it feels like a sledgehammer for a fly.
Before I was diagnosed, I was wondering how people can see street signs this far and how can they use such a small font. Anything smaller then 14pt for me was not legible. So I was always running things zoomed in (ff was set to %120 zoom for example).

Now that I have glasses, I wear them mainly when I'm going outside, especially when driving - I can see signs (and not miss a turn even with navigation!) and incoming cars in the night are not that blinding.

I still don't wear my glasses when working, but now I consciously zoom everything in (or run big fonts) so I don't have to squint or stare at things. I do find dark themes a little bit better cause it doesn't have the whole screen lighting up, but maybe I should experiment with light themes again. For nvim specifically, where I spend a bunch of time, I use molokai dark theme with menlo for powerline as a font.
