Problem is high efficiency furnaces/boilers require a powered vent, so they need quite a bit of power to operate. And then you’d need to circulate “cold” air/water against the heat exchangers.

This usually adds up to several hundred watts.
Hard truths I learned when I got laid off from my SWE job
Are you talking about the Sleep section of Apple's Health app? AutoSleep seems to track more data than that does. It estimates my deep sleep, takes into account my HRV and heart rate, and gives me a sleep rating for the night (e.g. 90 out of 100).

Apple's Health app just tracks total time spent asleep which ignores my heart rate. My heart rate is always much higher if I've drank alcohol or ate something too close to bedtime, which AutoSleep uses to determine that my sleep quality is lower.
I applaud your decision to stay off social media, and think you should continue to abstain.

That said, if you actually want to understand why the platform is or was popular to begin with you have to go beyond just viewing it as a masochistic FOMO factory. That’s an angle that gets talked about a lot in the wider media but it really is only a part of the story, and IMO a lesser one in the grand scheme of things.

There’s certainly an element of curated bragging to be sure, but in my experience what really keeps people engaged isn’t the unsubtle boasting but the outright fighting. FB users will quite literally treat their friend list as a stand-in for the broader world and vent their rage accordingly. For every “check my sunny vacay” post there are like 5 more along the lines of “YOU STUPID LIBS/CONS ARE RUINING THE UNIVERSE AND HERE IS WHY…”

That animosity and the back and forth exchanges it fosters is the really dark secret sauce at the heart of the experiment. Hate will always generate attention with the quickness, and it easily trumps envy as an engagement driver.
They used to call it "God's Green Earth". Did you check with God about whether anybody had the right to tell people where they could live on it?

> If you know that ProjectVeritas has a point of view that they advocate for and lean towards one side of the political aisle or the other, then you can take that information into account when gauging the accuracy of their stories and the likelihood that they're not presenting the facts accurately. ProjectVeritas presents no danger to the world even if their stories are always 100% wrong precisely because their bias is well-known and understood

That’s how it’s supposed to work but in practice it’s messier: not everyone is fully informed and following these stories, and context is often stripped as a story is promoted to other levels of media. The fairly large fraction of people who only read the headline probably don’t make it 6 paragraphs in where the reporter at a larger journal mentions the original source, or have the context to realize that the dueling quotes they’re presenting were all inspired by a dubious outrage-bait story rather than something real.

I did a bit of a deep dive ~4 years ago because my daughter was having problems finding a bra that fit.

My takeaway: There IS NO "bra size". There are two to three different systems (IIRC a more common one based off "victorian shirt size").

To get a good first approximation, find the bras that tell you how they are sized and give you instructions on measuring. You will probably need these measurements: under bust, bust, over bust, leaning bust. From there, you may need to try "sister sizes", where you go up a band size and down a cup size or vice versa. IOW, if you measure 38C, you might want to try a 36D and a 40B as well.

A conspiracy whose conspirators believe they are doing a morally good thing is still a conspiracy. In fact, in one or another way this is probably the case for most conspiracies - as they say, nobody is the villain of their own story. Does it make a difference if some people outside of the conspiring circle agree with the conspirators that their cause is righteous? I don't see why, and it's not like everyone or even an overwhelming majority agrees - otherwise there would be no need to conspire.

I remember once looking and looking for a job offer, and having trouble getting one. It made me worry I was going to have trouble finding a new job -- so when an offer finally came after a long search, I took it. That job involved relocating -- just to a new city -- but that was stressful. (Starting a new job and moving involve a lot of mental work, and doing them both at the same time was just a bigger challenge than I thought.) I never really settled into the job -- my skills weren't a good fit, and the company was a little dysfunctional in ways I hadn't expected.

What I came here to say is that if you got one job offer -- maybe you can get another? You don't say how long you've been looking, but if you're in the tech field, you're probably "in demand" right now. So it might be worthwhile to see if you can find another offer, and then you'll have two to choose from.

It's a total cliche, but sometimes it really is useful to remind yourself of the old saying: "There's other fish in the sea."

Legit criticism. (And no, down in my harshly-worded disclaimer, you are not the "you".)

For a specified acid, both concentration and pH are fairly good, one-dimensional, metrics of how relatively dangerous/destructive various solutions are. (Or at least "to within household common sense". Anyone competent to cook spaghetti should understand that "10 gallons" or "boiling hot" would make the solution far worse than "3 drops" or "ice cold".)

What set me off was that your comment seemed far too close to "concentration is a good, one-dimensional, measure of how dangerous/destructive acids are." (Without the "specified acid" and "relatively" qualifiers.) That (or a similar statement with "pH" instead of "concentration") is the sort of "logical" simplification that kiddies and idiots can far too easily latch on to, when they're thinking about doing cool & dangerous things.

(So - NO, kiddies. The fact that 5% acetic acid is vinegar, which is safe to splash on your salad, does NOT make (say) 5% hydrofluoric acid safe in any way at all. Stay the hell away from the latter, unless you want to look like a cheap horror movie extra for the rest of your might-be-kinda-short life.)

> What point are you trying to make [...] 99.9% of acids found outside a lab [...] than human vomit [...]

Technically, vomit is (horribly impure) hydrochloric acid. But for household safety purposes? Any
good 11-year-old babysitter can safely clean up baby barf, using only routine baby-care supplies. But handling high-molar HCl, let alone dealing with spills of the stuff? That's a completely different world.
Health Insurance companies will follow-up with determining if the property/land owner is responsible for the accident and try to sue. Months after ER treatment, I've had to respond that my child's cycling accident on a camp site was not because of the camp site owner's site maintenance. So it's not necessarily the victim who sues, but the victims' insurer.

- Searching: cosine similarity between query embedding and the built index, and then rerank using tuned TinyBERT cross-encoder.
- Building useful search resuts: search result building involved fine-tuning a t5-small model for summarization and text regression.

I think this was a reason for C’s success back in the day. If C compilers were a little cheaper and easier to get, then they’d completely take over, long-term.

I remember that Pascal was the norm for Mac programming for a time during the late 1980s or so. You could use THINK Pascal (later Symantec) or MPW Pascal. Pretty soon everyone was programming in C and compiling their programs with Metrowerks CodeWarrior.

Did you read the article? The author used both emacs and vim. Quote:

I don't get how people who like modal editing can't accept that other people don't.

From my experience with editor debates this weirdly seems to be much more common than the reverse.

Radical in common speech (within the US) is used to describe an outlier in behavior - zealot, would be the closest synonym for the way radical is used. Violence over climate change would be radical. It's an example of very uncommon behavior, not a specific quality of a radical.

This slight disagreement is an issue of disparate definition. I believe the GP was simply being less than gracious in the interpretation of a comment, despite it making perfect sense how they came to their own understanding.
> Political gridlock for most of the time, and a two party system that practically guarantees a constant back and forth with the ones currently in power spending most of their time to undo what the previous ones did during their time in power.

This sounds like the definition of stable. But what I actually meant by stable is where you can reasonably expect legal decisions and regulations to be predictable and hence plan around-able. Contrasted to a place where you have to pay unknown bribes to shifting allegiances, etc.

>That's not the impression i get from the people screaming they need to carry weapons to feel safe.

I would bet 90% of Americans do not go to sleep worrying about safety, or choosing to carry guns all the time because of it. But the high trust I was talking about was for things like being able to trust the plumber you called knows his stuff, or that you will get paid on your regular payday, or the food and medicine you buy will be as advertised.

> Today's young workers in the US (but that's not in any way a US specific phenomenon) feel that many things that were normal for the previous generation (e.g. home ownership) are simply out of reach.

Prices are a function of supply and demand. The US is not lacking in supply of land, but maybe it is lacking in supply of land near desirable regions experiencing economic growth. Old people are not going to be able to develop the land into homes, nor are they going to spur economic growth. Young people raising children does that.

> Adding more young people without fixing the underlying issues causing the already existing ones to struggle hard is not going to make anything better.

Adding young people, especially qualified young people who produce things people want, especially outside the country’s borders, is exactly what would make things better. It would increase demand for products and services, without increasing debt.

I use the shortlists lists from awards I like (Hugo, nebula, locus, also the booker and Pulitzer lists but I tend to enjoy those less ) as well as/especially those for new authors. This also generates a list of authors I like. That gives a sort of web of trust, I enjoy n.k. jemisin, so books she recommends and endorses and has a blurb on is one I'll at least take a look at. And that's true for lots of other authors as well.

I have a local bookstore and browse the new releases and staff recommendations they have, and all together that can usually keep me busy.

Sure, that sounds like an acceptable compromise for those who need the lower operating temperatures

> -20 is down there!

That's 244 Kelvin. It may not seem like a lot of heat to the human body, or judging by the state of everyday elements like water. But in terms of energy, there's actually still quite a bit there.
Isn't the primary issue not the cost of installation, but rather the cost of the fuel? Natural gas in most of the US is far cheaper than electricity, and even if heat pumps are theoretically more efficient than natural gas (energy in:heat out), if the fuel is two or three times cheaper none of that matters.
Behave - Robert Sapolsky
Yup. And at least here in Finland the pumps come with the resistive heater included so it automatically switches over to it once it gets too cold.

Which where most people live here averages to less then 1 day per year so not a big deal.

Way bigger issue here is some fall storm destroying the power lines and being without electricity for multiple days when it already is cold enough they one needs heating.
I love von Neumann stories. This one feels made up, though. Obviously this is a variation on a theme ("how much is experience worth?") and I doubt von Neumann would basically reenact that joke. But maybe he did.
On the other hand, opiates are generally not readily available everywhere (and the current opioid epidemic in the US is an example of regulations and healthcare providers failing to work as intended, with Purdue Pharma pleading guilty to 3 Federal criminal charges a while ago as a result) which was not always the case.

Twitter isn’t law enforcement so, no, there isn’t a requirement that they provide free hosting and promotion for everyone alleging a crime. In this case, they briefly used their hacked materials policy until deciding that it didn’t apply to the news coverage but did continue to yank non-consensual nudes under their existing policies.

If you genuinely believed that Hunter Biden had child porn or whatever Giuliani imagines, you’d definitely want that offline since there’s no public benefit to circulating criminal materials and law enforcement is definitely going to investigate it.
This story is why everyone should have the right to proper legal representation regardless of ability to pay. Cases based on junk science should not have to be reversed on appeal. It would also help build precedent against such methods.
2666 by Roberto Bolano

Yeah, believe the hype. Definitely the most important novel of this century.

The story revolves around the deaths of over 500 women and children in a small border town in Mexico. Absolutely devastating read, It feels like most novels are rather silly in comparison (2666 even pokes fun at literature in general for ignoring the atrocities in Mexico.) 5 stars.
Are you arguing that discoverability in user interfaces is bad?
Thanks for your reply! Wise to check assumptions.

Yes, written a compiler in common lisp and various toys in scheme. Spent some of yesterday porting functions from SRFI-1 to Shutt's Kernel which is pretty close to a lisp. Interesting that you claimed first class macros, they're usually second class in lisps.

I like scheme because I'm far enough down the compilers rabbit hole that language syntax looks like obfuscation in the way of the SSA representation. Writing the syntax tree directly is attractive there.

I find macros pretty confusing. Common lisp has straightforward behaviour but needs a lot of ceremony to make them reliable. Scheme's hygienic rewrites look simple but I don't understand the machinery behind them. Lexically scoped fexpr have obvious behaviour and implementation hence the interest in Kernel.

Which is to say I'm not disputing the lisp ~= lua premise from a position of total ignorance. The semantics look pretty similar to me. Lua doesn't have control over syntax, in (reader) macro sense, so perhaps it's metalua I should be equating to scheme. As above I'm not very focused on syntax.

I also write a lot of lua so am keenly interested in the distinctions I'm missing in the above.
Another vote for Caro's magisterial biography of LBJ. I read all 4 volumes this year, and cannot praise them highly enough - not just a masterful biography, but an exposition of the country and how it changed, plus penetrating analysis of power and how it is gained and used. Let us hope that Mr Caro finishes the 5th volume in 2023!

I also read Don Quixote this year - Edith Grossman's translation is excellent, capturing the joy of the original, and laugh-out-loud funny in places.

Why do you think it would be ruinous for people who do any of these things? A (still) half-baked chat/answer AI bot that can reply semi-eloquently is still a far cry from enormous amounts of high quality human information sold through books, courses, long-form, ad or donation-supported articles and so forth. Color me skeptical but this smells like AI-bro tech flippancy at its most basic.

I use a 2.5 year old BlackBerry Key2 LE. I'm hoping this one's charging port doesn't break like my previous KeyOne which gave out around the 2 year mark. I prefer the static keyboard style of the Key line over the slide-out ones popular with early Android devices such as the Droid line.

I'm not really convinced doing something about illegal immigrants is a step towards a police state. Is this US only rhetoric? Do other countries regularly just allow people to immigrate illegaly and are not interested in doing anything about it?
