There are probably more but the ones I've been to were in Iceland (Þrettandinn), in Portugal (Madeiros de Natal), and in Latvia (Bluķa vilksana). They all had the same vibe even though quite a part in geography, a celebration to get together outside in peak winter and burn giant logs to get warm.
> hydrogen is tiny so tends to leak out of containers

I'm not a materials person, so please point out the error the following thought experiment.

Use a cylindrical vessel with an opening at the bottom. Fill with hydrogen, then fill with a liquid that is heavier than hydrogen (so it sits at the bottom), then plug it. Hopefully the heavier liquid is less "leaky". Would this work?
Absolutely this.

I just did a discussion with ChatGPT on intuitionistic logic and it gave answers that were subtly wrong in my understanding of the subject. I have an MA in math but I couldn't be sure whether my impression of its wrongness was correct until asked it for a reference and it gave a nonexistent book by Per Martin-Lof, "Intuitionistic Logic", along with a list of actual books by him. It's an impressive and scary bullshit generator at this point.

And if someone can find a reference to Intuitionistic Logic by Per Martin-Lof, Oxford University Press, 1982, well, I'm wrong. But I went through Wikipedia, Google, Worldcat and Google Books.
while I don't agree that they're better at trading, your response is clearly wrong here.

A congress person is able to constantly make decisions with imperfect information and be successful doing it, one can imagine that skill could give them an edge when trading.

But the reason I don't agree with it is because they're using 3rd part managers. It's far more likely that they're advising.

However, the way to put this to bed is to compare their accounts with those of others being managed by the same team. do they out-perform, under-perform, or roughly match those other accounts? There's your answer.
And in 2022 you know that it doesn't work because you don't see any examples. Despite quite a few people trying to make a living from their fan base on various social media platforms. (Youtube, Instagram, TikTok, etc.) While if it did work, we should see a lot of these. But instead of the 1000 fans they need tens or hundreds of thousands usually. And even those don't pay.

Maybe it works on OnlyFans as someone mentioned. But that's a special market for a very a specific type of product/producers...

Oh, and we also have patreon to support fans paying the creators. But it doesn't look like the $100/patron/year model is a thing there. Or that too many people make $100k/year at all. https://graphtreon.com/patreon-creators
The header image for the article is a picture of steam rising up from their datacenter.

Nearly all water that we use is eventually recycled. Steam will eventually come back down as rain, and rainwater works its way through the ground and into streams and rivers - the magic of the water cycle. Water is a renewable resource from that perspective. The issue is the rate at which we use it, because the water cycle is not instantaneous. If you use water faster than it can be recycled, you will find yourself running short. This is why water reservoir levels are dropping all along the Colorado river.

I use a Chrome's builtin bookmarks manager and sync across devices (iPhone, iPad). But it's sync is problematic, and always messes the order or names of bookmarks when syncing on a new laptop. I also lost bookmarks couple of times.

Is there a bookmark manager which integrates with Obsidian? I think it could be a great combination.
I agree. The best questions will come when you look to answer your own passionate questions to build a project you’ve dreamt.
No, I am not.

If you do not want to use or work with social media, then don't. What's wrong with that approach?

This gives a cursor (yes a windows like cursor) on your phone screen that you can move and click which imitates the touch.

I selected my files and sent it over to my computer with WiFi direct. I had to install a 3rd party app on my phone to act it as a server so I can connect from my computer and download.

There are plenty of apps like that on the play store. But I don’t know what I’d have done if the screen was completely broken.

In my case the screen was heavily cracked and touch wasn’t working but it was viewable.
At staff/principal level, my experience has been less about learning a new technology and more about organizational and customer needs.

- Experiment and learn

- Drive tech alignment across teams and orgs

- Focus on the key decisions

- Kill stupid things early on. If you fail at this, you essentially fail at the job

- Be the eyes and ears to look around corners… we’re shipping some product X. We have product teams, TPMs, software managers basically a small army of friction: competing priorities, territorialism and empire building, and then the doers who you really need to help make this product happen. Are the right people working in the right problems? Are we solving them in an efficient way, using the right tooling or tech?

- Partner up with the other passionate people in management. Define the tech vision and architecture so devs can continue building without burning out or running into stupid obstacles that demotivate them

- Help define the culture. Mentor. Figure out what people are good at and advise the managers on who is best suited to a problem: function of their skills, growth areas, need of business, etc

- have strong opinions. Don’t sway with the wind.

To summarize: your focus is resounding impact. Sweat the details but only the important ones. If you need to learn a language or how something works, do your own research and go consult with other smart people in the space. Don’t pretend to know things you don’t. Be up front and ask a junior person to help you make sense of what it is you have, why are things the way they are, and how we got here.
This is nothing new. Every new technology has a billion how-to articles. Twitter had the same. It's the bread and butter of the "...For Dummies" and "Complete Idiot's Guides" series of books.
It seems that at the current velocity of improvement it is only a matter of time - very near future - that those problems will be mostly worked out. ChatGPT already outperforms Google search in many ways. For example I was doing some research on Scandinavian history and found the results far superior on ChatGPT, while I had to sift through pages of junk on Google. I took the results with a grain of salt just like I would with Wikipedia and verified each point, and found it to be very accurate. With this I can cut my research time down from hours to minutes on a problem.
Another reason why phages aren't used in western countries is that it is difficult to make money off of them. As I understand it, phages are bred uniquely for each strain which means it is difficult to patent them. The strains change all the time, therefore the phages have to change, by the time you get a patent for one, it is already likely to be ineffective.

Furthermore, the process of breeding phages for each disease is something drug companies really do not want to do. They want to manufacture pills, ship them in boxes to hospitals and get their money. Doesn't work with phages. You have to take samples at the hospital from a patient of the bacteria, breed a phage that eats that bacteria and then send that phage back to the patient.

This kind of back and forth seems way to expensive and complicated to the modern drug company. They do not want to build infrastructure around all the country's hospitals to ship contagious samples and to have labs all over the country to breed and manufacture phages.
I don't think that's necessarily true. Some of the students of today are the faculty of tomorrow; in my experience the students that eventually become profs are not representative of the student body as a whole.

For example, much of the funding available in US physics is DoD funding. Many students (and grads / postdocs) have ethical issues with working on DoD projects. However, refusing DoD funding is not a good move for early-career researchers. So in my experience successful new profs tend to be more "hawkish" than grad students in general.
I am not current by any means with many makes of contemporary cars, but those I have had anything to do with used the coolant temperature sensor as the input to the fuel adjustment. I'm not saying that's universal, but it certainly is common, and makes a lot of sense if you're looking for a reading on the engine operating temperature, since that's what the coolant regulates.
I think YouTube just constantly comes up with shady adhoc justifications for not paying out.

DonHopkins on Feb 10, 2020 | parent | context | favorite | on: HyperCard: What Could Have Been (2002)

Before Rand and Robyn Miller developed Myst, they created "The Manhole" and "Cosmic Osmo and the Worlds Beyond the Mackerel" in HyperCard:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Manhole

>The Manhole is a notable computer game because like Cosmic Osmo and Spelunx it has no goal and no end; as a software toy the object is simply to explore and have fun.

>Reception

>Describing The Manhole as "the first children's software to require a hard disk", Macworld in March 1989 stated that its "realistic sounds, the fantasy-filled graphics, and the stack construction are truly impressive". The magazine "highly recommended [the game] for young children[, and] it's hard to imagine a playful soul of any age who wouldn't enjoy exploring the mind-tickling world inside The Manhole".

>The Manhole won a Software Publishers Association Excellence in Software Award in 1989 for Best New Use of a Computer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_Osmo_and_the_Worlds_Bey...

>Cosmic Osmo was created by brothers Rand and Robyn Miller, who went on to form the company Cyan and develop the best-selling adventure game Myst.

>It was created, and runs, using HyperCard. Animated portions were made using MacroMind VideoWorks, a linear animation program that later became Macromedia Director. A XCMD plug-in enabled VideoWorks animated sprites to be displayed with an alpha mask on top or behind HyperCard's graphic layer.

But don’t let the 1k number fool you. Getting even 1 true fan is incredibly difficult.

That’s what is great about 1k. The degree to which you need to scale is reasonable if you find a large enough niche - and they number of niches where scaling your 1k true fans is large.

Doesn’t make it easy, but doubling the number of people who love what you create is tractable.
> The sluggishness of tsc remains a pain point for many developers

tsc isn't just slow, it's SLOW.

% : >file.ts
% time tsc file.ts
tsc file.ts 3.26s user 0.15s system 145% cpu 2.347 total

3.2 seconds is just embarrassing. Nothing is even close to this; every other compiler or interpreter is in the dozens or maybe low-hundreds of ms. clang++ -O2 and rustc are both ~150-200ms, and these are not compilers known for their excellent performance. The startup time of tsc is an order of a magnitude slower than anything else. I didn't measure lines of code/second performance, but with such a slow startup time it's not that important because no matter how small your project: typescript will be ridiculously slow.

I don't want to run any "watchers" or special dev servers for the frontend or all of that ridiculously complex circus to work around this embarrassingly slow tooling. I just want to request "/file.ts" and have it serve a compiled version on the fly. This is simple, easy, and even with caching just a few lines of code. It's how everyone was using coffeescript back in the day.

What we have now is millions of lines of code and a world of complexity to work around an embarrassingly slow compiler.

> Possible, but will require a majority conservative government, which today seems unlikely

No it won’t. It just needs enough moderates to support it like in the EU. Canada’s budget won’t be able to support socialized healthcare unless

1. The number of retirees drastically decreases in relation to the number of working adults. This is hard due to the increasing xenophobia in Canada,

2. Benefits gets cut for everyone or just gets cut for retirees. Taxes are already too high, or

3. Take some of the load off the public system while giving people an option for private healthcare, while still subsidizing public healthcare for everyone else

This article makes several disingenuous statements to paint an entirely false, emotion provoking narrative.

First: Google is not "consuming" water any more than a water wheel or dam turbine "consumes" water as it passes by in a river. This is an objectively absurd framing.

Second: Even if the water were consumed, which it isn't, 25% of a town of 16k is not a significant amount of consumption.

Third: This article talks about drought, which is absolutely irrelevant because the water isn't being consumed. The article can't directly say that google is culpable for water shortages, because they aren't, but it tries very hard to create this implication in the mind of lazy readers.

This is cool. It seems like the code to encode the grooves over descending depths from, like, a depth map and an image file would be pretty trivial to write. Just pick random points in 2D representation of the model and vary the radius of the arc based on their depth from camera? I'm wondering... since I know very little about optics or holography... why does this not produce a holographic effect if you just draw those arcs white on black on a monitor? Is it that the light has to be coming from a separate source as a reflection or transparency?

It has happened. My child got a resistant strain of Shigella causing severe dysentery. After a stool assay it was found only 3 kinds of IV antibiotics were effective, with only 1 being safe for children at effective dose. And it still took a week of 3x per-day IV infusion for it to clear. The doctors said only 5-10 years ago there were still oral antibiotics that worked, but now there aren't any.

Not necessarily. I put heat into rivers every time I swim and it's a total non-issue.

Heat could potentially be an issue in sufficient quantities - if for example Google doesn't have sufficient dissipation infrastructure before the water is returned to the river. We don't know whether or not this is the case. It would be irresponsible to make that assumption with a complete absence of evidence.
