Oriville dam is infrastructure that was forgotten about. We only know about it in any immediate sense now because it collapsed due to the failure to maintain it. Which was my point.

Seriously, any “cost cutting” measures that “defer” maintenance of infrastructure should be required to put aside funds to rebuild that infrastructure.
235M Twitter users data leaks for free
Twitter database leaks for free with 235,000,000 records.

The database contains 235,000,000 unique records of Twitter users and their email addresses and will unfortunately lead to a lot of hacking, targeted phishing, and doxxing.

This is one of the most significant leaks I've seen.
How long is a piece of string?

It depends very much what kind of projects you want to create. Embedded systems? Kernel? Websites? Apps? Games? AI?

There's a universe of infinite possibilities out there.

Generally though, avoid frameworks until you know the language, and learn the fundamentals. And learn the tools, testing and pipelines etc.
> Not to mention that efficiency doesn't really tie to how exorbitantly expensive it is to run heat pumps, you're looking at +$500-800 month in extra electricity costs in some places.

You might be an order of magnitude higher than reality here.

I do live in the French Alps (relatively cold) in a 160m2 house warmed with an heat pump. My bill is around 600-800€ per year, not per month. My house is from the 1970s with an average insulation from the 80s

I do not see how you can get 600-800$ per month, excepted if you do live in a -25˚C climate and in a house insulated with a sheet of paper. But then you will probably get an even worst bill with a gas boiler.

It's also a matter of better input. If I feed machine A the text string "windows", what should the response even be? There's no context from which to build anything. Compare that to feeding machine B the prompt "I would like to know what kinds of windows I can buy for my house. The dimensions are 48x24". We can't really conclude that machine B is better, simply because the two machines aren't taking the same test.

> A common advice for documentation is "why not how", I'm not sure you can do "why" by looking at the "how".

You are right. It’s the rule when you write the doc.

But when you are let alone in an unknown codebase, having your IDE summarize the "what" in the auto completion popup could be really useful. Especially in codebases with wrong naming conventions.
I feel really sorry for the developers. If I click on that issue, I get the impression that these don't seem to be moderated in any way, and the result is extensive bikeshedding.

I think that Iraq second time was an atrocity too. You can debate the scale but not the basic fact. The first time was certainly acceptable though, even necessary.

I am not in a position to help the Iraqis today but I am in a position to help the Ukrainians, by advocating for their victory and by direct help out of my own pocket. In general those things should be considered separately, there is no simple connection between them. But yes America got away way too easily.

About nukes - the attacking coalition has simply never threatened the usage of nukes. You can also note that during the Vietnam war there was an American general that wanted to fix their military failure with nukes, and he was immediately dismissed from his job.
> The article doesn't state why they are using helium

FTA: Because helium remains a gas until -200 C, we can achieve higher temperatures inside our heat pump core

N₂ boils at −195.8 °C, but that will be higher at 30 bar.
That's very interesting to see!

The first time I read about acoustic heat pumps was when the Dutch governments' research arm spun off their start-up: Blue Heart: https://www.blueheartenergy.com/

I had no idea multiple companies were pursuing this. That's great! If we can replace every gas boiler with a acoustic heat pump that can produce 70 degree water that will enormously speed up the electrification of domestic heating in Europe.
And the less experienced you are in IT, the better it's going to be to ask chatGPT rather than a search engine. Quickly parsing web pages and keyword optimisation are skills not everybody has.

Sure there's some prompt optimisation on the GPT side but it's nowhere as complex as navigating through Google and the results are just there.
Depends what you want. If you want to go into Android development, then I would say that Kotlin is the go to language.

Being able to read and write Java is also beneficial imo, since some projects also have old code in Java. However all the teams I've worked in are committed to write their Android applications in Kotlin.

I also see that Kotlin gains traction in backend development, since it's fully interoperable with Java.
Just as I had predicted in my previous comment (although it was inevitable at this point).

Some epoxy manufacturers make it pretty easy. For example, West System sells special hand pumps[1] for their resin and hardener, which attach directly to the product's cans and provide the right ratio for you--just use the same number of pumps from each product and you're good. Maybe a lot of manufacturers offer their own ratio pumps--I'm only really familiar with West.

Yes, they did, there were still cheap flights in 2021, for sure easier to find than quoted cheap US flights.
But it's a qualified not.

Specifically, I know two ways:

0. VisionFive 2's SoC has drastically faster GPU and overall better peripherals

1. Raspberry Pi 4 will overheat and heavily throttle at the slightest hint of load. With this in mind, VisionFive 2's CPU will in most situations be faster, by virtue of not throttling.

*. Most heatsinks only mitigate this situation partially. You'd need either active cooling, or to get a 400 instead, which whole keyboards very effectively acts as heatsink.
I thought the sizes of data caches were far more important than instruction caches? I mean even if the ISA is not as dense as it could be, we're talking about a few kilobytes of wasted i-cache space at most.
This is stuff where I highly recommend writing up helper scripts. I have one to pull in stuff from a fly Postgres DB, spin up my local docker compose setup, and then pump the data into there.

I think that's the real niceness here, a CLI that is pretty straightforward (not perfect by any means! but I can still wrap my head around it)

@hagbarth: > I still struggle to see chatgpt’s value as a search engine. It works great for me as a partner in creativity, so to say. Both for writing and coding. […]

@mirekrusin: >> Your comment reminds me of a comment made almost 2 decades ago by professor regarding wikipedia - it's just random people writing text, it'll never compete with encyclopedia, I will never trust it.

Don't ignore rate of change, recognise it can only improve with time, you're looking at very early system that will quickly be orders of magnitude better.

@jacquesm: >>> Your professor was and is correct in one respect: Wikipedia should not be cited whereas an encyclopedia in print can be cited. […]

===

The reason why @mikerusin was invoking the Wikipedia analogy was to point out that at a certain moment in time in the heady .com bubble days Wikipedia was an acorn and it was hard to imagine how it could ever grow to compete with the likes of Britannica. I remember the arguments at the time. Some people said "no way" and other said "huh, wouldn't be so sure, just you wait and see". Turns out the latter group were not only correct they were very correct. Wikipedia has entirely supplanted Brittanica and its ilk. I wouldn't even like to guess how more used Wikipedia is than its print rivals.

(And for the purposes for which Wikipedia is used people are aware of its limitations. It's not "At best [] a tertiary source", it's a secondary source for when it comes to citations but if one needs information in a hurry people the information they retrieve from it directly and do not go through the hassle of looking up the primary sources unless they have to. If you use it any other way I'd be very surprised. But this is by-the-by.)

As a response to @hagbarth's pessimism this perfectly echoes the debates we had around the time of the birth of Wikipedia. I wouldn't be so sure. Don't bet against it. Etc. Wikipedia scaled quickly because of crowd-sourcing but a ChatGPT turbo-charged Bing (or whatever) may not need a democratised version of ChatGPT, it may just need to harness the relentless pace of change in the hardware/software sector.

Long story short: I believe @mikerusin is correct and the analogy is a good one, I believe @hagbarth needs to try harder to see the potential here, and I reckon you're responding to a argument that was never put forward! (and I have no idea why I spent 20 minutes going through all this rather than taking a shower and starting my day :/ but such is life …)
For some AWS automation scripts I wrote, I was able to ask, “why would you use this” and the answer it gave me was impressive.
Knowing little about how ChatGPT actually works, is there perhaps a variable that could be exposed, something that would represent the model's confidence in the solution provided?

If you want to see the most barbaric side your friends have to offer, put them into Blade & Sorcery, if they don't mind graphic violence.

My gf is the sweetest, non-confrontational human I know. She once cried because she saw a dead frog on the street.

After 5 minutes in Blade & Sorcery she was brutally decapitating already dead enemies while giggling, throwing them off cliffs while watching how they fall down etc.

When she took off the glasses after 10m we both just had to laugh, as she was heavily breathing and sweating from all the fighting. One of the craziest things I've ever seen her do.

Same things has happened for the two other people I put into this game, and for myself.

Just wanted to chime in because I agree with you about HL: Alyx. Currently playing it, and it's the best thing I've ever witnessed in VR. Crouching behind a virtual wall because enemies are shooting and throwing grenades at you never felt so terrifyingly good.

I'm not sure you know the meaning of the word gaslighting.

Me telling someone that I think they are wrong is not gaslighting. Otherwise, by your logic, I can accuse you right now of gaslighting.

Feel free to check out wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslighting

> which definitely do not apply universally. I characterized it as gaslighting, as you're basically telling people who don't trust the system that their concerns are invalid.

I mean... this is quite a stretch... objectively if you get mugged you do go to the police, there's nothing else that can help you. Saying you should have some faith is not gaslighting as you're so keen on saying. Same as you saying that people should have no faith in police is also not gaslighting.

Thread has gone one pretty long and honestly there's no point to stretch it further, best of luck.
Thanks. I was trying to square the very first sentence of the article "Equium has developed a new thermo-acoustic heat pump core that reportedly produces 3 kW to 4 kW of heat for every kilowatt of power it consumes." for not violating the first rule of thermodynamics.

The article doesn't mention how the new toolbar icons are also eyecancer, at least in dark mode. I had to switch to Text only buttons to avoid burning my eyes out from the bright red Remove icon on the dark gray background. So yeah, another reason for you to skip this version.
> The very bad move in this case, was hard-coding foreground colours, while simultaneously not hard-coding background colours.

Oh holy.

People act like dark themes, or theming is a relatively recent invention. But in fact, Windows 95 and even earlier were already entirely themeable, system-wide (well themeable is a bit of an exaggeration, you could modify the color scheme, but still...). But the quoted problem is exactly what was already happening back then to basically prevent you from ever deviating from the default colors too much. Sure, you could make the default gray background a little darker or brighter, but I remember I tried doing white text on black background, and after a couple days I encountered enough programs that at least in some places hard-coded black text but used the system default background color. What worked a little better was programs that forced both, some text editor forcing black on white, but that looked pretty jarring too, contrast-wise. Switched back to default colors and never bothered again to this day.
Ah, sweet nostalgia - Someone gave me a set when I was a child, though it was just called Viking game. Easy to play, and nice pieces - we loved it!
You are onto something, if I search in Czech for "cheap air tickets from Prague" I get better results:

Levneletenkyzprahy.cz[1], Jaknaletenky.cz[2], Levneletenky.org[3] and Skyscanner.cz[4] all offer flights from Prague to London, with prices ranging from 490 Kč to 1 200 Kč depending on the season and airline[1][2][3][5].

490Kc/22USD - 1200Kc/54USD

Not sure why is exactly London specific, but it's for sure more useful than those expensive US flights.
no problem, just chill out

FTA: Because helium remains a gas until -200 C, we can achieve higher temperatures inside our heat pump core

N₂ boils at −195.8 °C, but that will be higher at 30 bar.

Next question: why do they need gas at lower temperatures to achieve higher temperatures? Do temperatures inside that acoustic wave vary that much?
> We could conceivably add a flag for our `init` to hang around waiting for you to SSH in after your entrypoint exits. But that's clunky and complicated

This is a common thing in CI platforms, and the way they usually expose this is "run tests with SSH enabled", and they keep it open for 30 minutes/2 hours/whatever until a session closes.

So if I have some app failing, being able to run `fly restart --ssh-debug`, having that first just sit around waiting for the app to boot, and then dropping into ssh would be a very helpful piece of UX. The main thing is cleanup, but y'all charge for compute! You can be pretty loosy-goosy on that one honestly.

I would recommend to ask your manager to set priorities for tasks you got and review them on a regular basis:

1. You can create a Trello board with list for "new requests", "priority 1", "priority 2", "done", "others".
2. Tell anyone in your company who wants you to work on something or your help to go to that Trello board and add their request as a card to list "new requests".
3. Ask your manager to review all requests/cards in list "new requests" and sort them out for you – move them either to "priority 1" list, "priority 2" or to "others" list.
4. You work on requests in "priority 1" list. If you got spare capacity you can do requests from "priority 2" or "others".
5. When you finish with a request/card, move it to the list "done".
6. If there are too many requests in "priority 1" you tell your manager.
7. Every week review all lists with your manager.

You can connect Trello with Slack to get online updates, discuss requests, etc.

Hope this could help.

Wish you it gets better!

True true. I like the sound of music from the early days of recording ... foxtrots, rags, blues ... that only sound right with that pre-tape, pre-mike ambience. A 'cleaned-up' 1909 version of "Shine on harvest moon" is a crime against humanity. (Like colorizing 'Citizen Kane', or Laurel and Hardy.) That's the way people heard it then. And (up until the depression, anyway) they bought it and danced to it by the millions.

Squeaky-clean 'fidelity' can work against good music. It's like purple fluorescent lights ... antiseptic.

Potentially some of this will depend on how one defines "attend a network" - like a networking "event" or an existing "network of individuals"?
I've been a big fan of tech Meetups (Ruby and JS mostly) in various cities (meetup being capitalized because meetup.com is the proxy). They're free and "opensource" and nobody is selling anything really - there are opportunities to give talks and listen to talks. The biggest thing I like is maybe seeing the same people multiple times and having a "local" focus because people most likely live in the area where they're attending an event.
I'd be willing to pay a cover charge to help support the organizational budget but would not personally go to a "proprietary" meetup/event. That's kind of what separates a conference from a meetup in my opinion, as well as conferences being longer.

There’s also Phasmophobia, a ghost-hunting game that supports VR. You can play with people without them needing a VR headset.

It’s also one of those types of games that’s completely different in VR than regular desktop. Without VR, it’s a fairly fun game with a really good learning curve to it. On VR, it’s a completely different game; the atmosphere is amped up by like 1,000 and it becomes the scary game it was meant to be. I wasn’t even able to complete the tutorial on VR.
