But usually, it slows people down.

> In 2012, Paul Lecroart, of the institute of planning and development of the Île-de-France, wrote that "Despite initial fears, the removal of main roads does not cause deterioration of traffic conditions beyond the starting adjustments. The traffic transfer are limited and below expectations".[4] He also notes that some private vehicle trips (and related economic activity) are not transferred to public transport and simply disappear ("evaporate").[4]

> The same phenomenon was also observed when road closing was not part of an urban project but the consequence of an accident. In 2012 in Rouen, a bridge was destroyed by fire. Over the next two years, other bridges were used more, but the total number of cars crossing bridges was reduced.[4]

It seems a lot like the real-world examples of the phenomenon look like close cousins of "if you remove the smallest values in a set, the average goes up".
Thanks for the corrections, I was including autoencoders that use an additional adversarial loss (such as VQGAN) when I said GAN.

> Dalle 1 works thx to the autoregressive model (also no GAN)

It uses an autoregressive model to predict codes for a pretrained VQGAN, doesn't it?

Doesn't Stable Diffusion's autoencoder also use an adversarial loss? Otherwise wouldn't it suffer the typical blurring problems well known to MSE?
Don't they? In consumer electronics they certainly did for a good chunk of the past 50-60 years.
> I really don’t understand eating vegetarian, presumably for well-being, and then making fake “meat” food science experiments a major part of your diet.

People eat vegetarian diets for many different reasons. Sometimes religious, cultural, health, environmental, and sometimes as a protest to animal suffering. I think a majority of Americans consume processed foods on a daily basis. If you are eating deli meats, hot dogs, burgers, etc. the food is pretty processed. A chicken, pork, and beef filler hot dog is not natural by any means. The way animals are raised before slaughter is not natural and the feed they are given are not what animals consume in nature. Everything you eat is really a food science experiment.
Be sure to look around on YouTube to see what people are accomplishing with Ableton Live for live looping.
If you force somebody (who's not even the defendent, just a witness in the case) to (cryptographially) sign a message of your own choosing, why not just take the shortcut of forcing the defendant to sign whatever confession you want them to? Much easier, quicker and cheaper than these fancy workarounds.
That would apply (probably) if the government put you under a gag order and ordered you to keep updating your warrant canary.

But what if they just put you under a gag order, and then when you stop updating the warrant canary they charge you with violating the gag order? Would that still fall under the compelled speech cases?
> "Not updating a warrant canary" isn't the crime here. "Creating a warrant canary" is the crime, as it's an action whose only purpose is to violate a gag order.

It walks a really fine line IMO. The way I see it is it works in two ways:

* When you create one, you're not referencing a current gag order, but rather an imaginary future one. If creating one is a crime then doing just about anything (deleting an email or throwing away a letter) is also a crime because you can be destroying evidence in a potential future case or investigation not brought yet.

* Once this warrant is issued, then your run into this case where any associated gag order is "one way". That is the government can order you not to disclose the warrant but they cannot compel you to lie and update the canary to reflect that you still have not gotten one yet.

Personally, I'd would say another advantage is sdk. IMO ESP-IDF is up there with Silabs and nRF in the top tier of dev experience. Then STM/TI etc and Microchip a very distant last.

The ESP32 isn't ideal for basic battery stuff that needs to be awake all the time, or size constrained stuff - that's where nRF and BLE shines (or Silabs/Cypress).

However, in deep sleep you can get 10uA< which is decent assuming you wake up rarely, do a bit of WiFi work and go back to sleep.

For the right job (powered stuff that needs BLE, WiFi or ethernet, maybe hosting a local webserver for config and/or mqtt) the ESP32 is an absolute bargain compared to alternatives and a pleasure to work with to boot. The modules also typically have lots of flash onboard, ideal for embedding web UIs.
I never managed to get other Wayland clipboard managers to work, so I built my own. It supports clipboard history as well as "favorites" - things you paste often and you want to always have available for pasting.

This was originally a small Python script I wrote during a flight, but when I landed I decided to give ChatGPT the code and convert it to Rust. It took a few iterations, but now it's my daily driver.

I feel that they're just organizationally incompetent. They're moving too fast and lack adequate quality assurance. macOS itself is getting much buggier overall. Craig Federighi should be fired.
Yes, water is heavy, you'd need walls like the Hoover Dam, and a lot of them, because there's such a lot of water.

If you require 1000l/day, that's 1m³ per day, or 365m³ of tanks for a year for you alone. A lot of people live in less space than that (per person), so very, very approximately that would require building structures as big as the total existing housing. With strong, expensive walls.

Doable, I'm sure, but how does the cost compare to building a few dozen desalination plants?

Being proud of your work doesn't make it better.

Expertise is applying the right amount of effort at the right time in the right place.

It is developed by the long slog of being good enough many many times, because feedback matters.

Good enough requires focus on the actual problem and avoids being proud of something that doesn't solve it.

Yes striving for a really simple tool that does one thing. But I had to add some basic options like dwell and transition times.
I do regular blood work and I only eat plants, and I only supplement D3 and B12. My iron and zinc levels are great.

I suppose the answer would be no, we would get sick and die without those. But it seems like you’re implying that we can’t get them without meat. If that’s correct, I’d say that’s a false assumption — I am doing great, and the rest of my family is as well.

Although some nutrients appear less bioavailable in plants when tested in labs, evidently this is not true in situ. My gut feeling (ha) is that bioavailability (even with foods we consider highly available) depends quite a lot on healthy gut flora. There is some great and some more tenuous evidence of this depending on the food and nutrient in question, and I suspect it’s why some people don’t thrive on plants.
You're right. I'm not.

I'm not even convinced you're arguing in good faith any more, because frankly I can't imagine how a rational and empathetic individual could have reasoned themselves into these opinions.

I'm not going to argue with you any more, because you're either a troll, or someone to who can't be reasoned out of their opinions simply because they didn't reason themselves into them.

Yea I now added options in the studio to disable the bouncing effects.
My impression is that the Safari team is just very small. They are often more quirky than other browsers, and they lag in features (but not nearly so badly as IE used to). On the other hand they've brought some very welcome improvements: the :has selector and container queries being the standout ones in recent times. And their engine is more power efficient and often faster than anyone elses.

EDIT: I would add: 90% seems waaay too high. If this isn't an exaggeration then you may want to consider that you might be doing something wrong (Not checking caniuse for support before using a feature? Trying to use features that are unsupported / poorly supported by your target browsers anyway?)
The idea is good. But there are already plenty of companies building modular homes in factories, and rvs in factories. They have been doing this for 60 years.

This startup could have focused on design sales permitting etc and built a couple as test, but it seems vastly more efficient to contract with an existing player than to try to everything from first principles
It's there on desktop, not on mobile. Not really a big deal IMO. (Also the blog subdomain is almost certainly a reference to Love Live - "nico nico nii~" or something like that is a catchphrase of one of the characters.)

Not a lawyer but I don't see how you can revoke a perpetual license. If it expired after a period sure, but it doesn't, that's what perpetual means.

Unfortunately it doesn’t mean just one thing. People use a slogan like “harm reduction” to describe a wide array of beliefs and practices ranging from the very practical (don’t make sobriety a condition of care) to the very dogmatic (it’s not ok to discourage drug use of any kind, anyone who suggests otherwise is part of the problem). Most people will be somewhere in between those extremes. Once a slogan has been in use for some time, you can’t take the words at face value anymore. The mean whatever people use them for, not what they would mean in plain English.

As an aside this is true about language more generally. There is no true meaning of any given string of words. Language is a communication tool (and a lossy one at that). History of use gives words and phrases additional contextual meaning beyond any dictionary definition. Feedback is often necessary to avoid misunderstanding.
Making opiates for the Sackler family with the blessing of the US government for distribution to addicts via 'pain clinics' probably pays about the same as making opiates for the Guzman cartel down in Mexico for transport over the border into the US for distribution to addicts on street corners.

In both cases you probably want to keep paying your taxes, however. In the latter case you'll need some cover story to explain where you got the money from.

Really the drug situation in the USA is pretty farcical. You can manufacture amphetamines and opiates at scale for the ADHD/chronic pain market, with relatively few restrictions, but the prisons are full of people involved in the clandestine trade in the very same substances.
Show HN: Detect AI-Generated Content with Our Advanced Text Analysis API
I'm launching an API to detect whether text was written by a human or AI. It works with short(ish) text and also longer text. This API could come in handy to detect spam or AI generated content in general from models like ChatGPT or GPT-3. Simply send text to the API and it will return the number of tokens used, probability of the prediction, and prediction of real or fake, as well as individual predictions for smaller chunks of the text. It works best with at least 8 sentences. The API is more or less ready but I'm looking for some Beta testers. Feel free to check out the demo on the website.
Do you really use all of that computing power for the stuff that is running on the server. All of the home lab setups i have seen have been way over powered and under used. Lots of "wasted" computing power to just be powered on and never really utilized.

In Brazil two showers a day are pretty common.

So access to R&D funding is probably far more relevant for innovation indexes than people's hygiene.
I think the point is people disproportionately tsk tsk about the harms of drug use compared to the harms of alcohol.

Personally I think most substances in moderate quantities taken only occasionally are no big deal. Yes there is probably some minute health impact visible in long term longitudinal studies but it's probably dwarfed by other lifestyle factors. I would rather be someone who exercises regularly, eats a healthy diet and uses MDMA or cocaine a few times a year than a sedentary obese teetolar who's never touched drugs.
Interesting to me how different the beer vs. wine industries are, in terms of the capital investment, the "demographics" of the number and type of wineries vs. breweries, etc. Why wineries are always located right there next to the vines, but breweries are not. How long it takes the product to age, who consumes it, etc. How it gets to market. I know there are tons of reasons behind it, but just interesting that similar things you drink can have such different dynamics behind them.
I have an 8 year old app that reminds me a lot of this article.

Something that's worked really well for me was that I created a plugin feature and most new features are actually plugins. This lets me add capabilities without touching or adding logic to the core code.

Last night I added SQLite support as a plugin. 2 code files and one is unit tests. https://github.com/jmathai/elodie/pull/443/files

I don't know if this is the best approach but it's worked better than others in my 20+ years of writing software.
Considering Tesla as "just another car company" misses the various lines of business it involves. Consider that it gets a lot of money from the energy business (e.g. joining Tesla powerwalls to substitute for peeker plants). It also makes a billion or so from selling carbon offsets to other car companies. It is moving into battery production at all stages.

Independent of all that, you're confusing EVs with "just cars". This is a separate market segment, like the difference between microwaves (EVs) and gas ovens ("just cars").

And even if you consider it "just a car company" it is outrunning the other companies in efficiency. Tesla makes each car several times faster than conventional cars. Tesla fixes most recalls by software update. Tesla direct sales model skips the dealer overhead. Tesla chargers make gas stations obsolete. Tesla chargers cost 10x less to install than other chargers. Countries worldwide are passing end-of-life legislation to outlaw "just cars". Tesla doesn't have billions of dollars of "legacy factories" as debt burden. Tesla and BYD are the only two EV companies making a profit on each car sold. Legacy car companies are selling their cars at a loss per car.

Given the rate of automation I expect that Tesla will have a "lights out" fully automated factory within a few years.

A Tesla was driven off a 250 foot drop off a cliff last week onto rocks. The two parents are alive in hospital and the two children have minimal injury. My Hyundai Accent has a driver-side door dent because I "hip-checked" it closed. I can't imagine walking away from a 250 foot drop in my car.
Now that I know this is some fake account that maybe adds some needed context.

The article is critical of the quantity of microbreweries so it must be pro-big-beer because everything is a partisan conspiracy to slowly erode the things we like. Be afraid, be angry, and elect someone who promises a quick fix.
Yeah, the large variety is the feature that actually creates the value. The fact you can go to almost any new town and discover a new beer you've never heard of before is the joy of discovery and the "collection" drive that powers the industry.
> > I think a lot of the libertarian techies are still pretty libertarian.

Spot on!

I have a weird interest in the old-times, when geek were actually libertarian? (well, based on my readings and what people told me, they seemed to be different from now)

And it's not just the people: instead of "safe" languages like rust, people liked "unsafe" perl that let you do about everything!

I really wish there was some time travel, to get the chance to live and work in the 1990s-early 2000s where there seemed to be both optimism AND libertarianism in the tech world, instead of the current pro-big-government/social conformity trend.

But since tech is now mostly fueled by advertising $$, it is difficult to get techies to understand something, when their salary depends on them not understanding it.

I don’t know, I grew up with IDEs and came into console based editing much later in my programming life. It is so much better when working with multiple systems over ssh, especially if modifying linux at all, writing drivers, etc.

It is a huge learning curve, but the ease of remote editing and the speed increase is really incredible. Being able to rapidly move around a file with just a keyboard is a super power, but it just takes muscle memory which means a lot of practice and time.

It may or may not be worth it, but it definitely is not a cultist offering. There is a large value add.
Alain,

Thanks for your reply.

I like your work, especially in how far you took it from "first principles".

What strikes me is your insight wrt calculating factorials based on Church numbers and pairs only, no control structures (except iteration using Church numbers). It helps placing the magic into perspective.

I had a similar experience implementing the (sound) reduction of the Y-combinator. Not so magic at all. Merely a trick for passing on the function for a recursive call.
Now that it's 2023 I can say this without reprisal: no shit Sherlock! /s

This is the automotive analog to the removal of headphone jack on smartphones. Except I was never all that bothered with the removal. I've been using BT headphones almost exclusively before AirPods. I guess I'm not sure what my point is; maybe that even if it's objectively worse other factors dominate in consumer purchase decisions.

Thankfully, some automakers are beginning to dial back a bit on all-touch interfaces. I'm cautiously optimistic that within the decade most will find the right balance.
Smart, well adjusted drug people will frequently point out that most common drugs they use (LSD, MDMA, MDAA, psilocybin, etc) have an orders of magnitude better risk profile than smoking or drinking. The latter is essentially socially ubiquitous.

That community has an ongoing bitterness about this double standard.

Usually though, people making this point are not advocating for heroin or meth (although there's a reasonable argument there that the drug is not what does most of the damage in those situations - krokodil is just heroin manufactured with an extremely dirty process. It's perceived as being much worse, but what's "much worse" are the impurities from using gasoline as a solvent.

MDMA and LSD in particular have the advantage of no fast, cheap ways to synthesize at the expense of safety or purity.
There are several varieties of ESP32's combined with LoRa, such as the disaster radio, meshtastic and ttgo t-beam. The last one is probably the easiest bit of kit to get from Amazon and will run the other's firmware.

Don’t buy glass carboys, anvil (blichmanns low cost brand) is good for equipment. Use a brewing calculator, start with extract, clean stuff well, and don’t overcomplicate it. Don’t make anything too strongly flavored, after 5 gallons you will hate it. 5 gallons is the best size for batches. Go straight for kegs (corny kegs) like they use for soda. Northern brewer is a good supplier (no affiliation just a happy customer). If you really get into it buy hops by the pound.

Edit: almost forgot, temperature is the most important ingredient in fermenting. Put your kegs and fermenter somewhere that is a constant 60-70 degrees for ales. And start with ales.
This is just a weird data point but my kids are vegan (long story). My youngest has no idea what meat tastes like but she loves the taste of vegan sausages and chick'n nuggets. She doesn't care if it tastes like actual chicken or actual pork sausage, she just knows she likes the taste.

And yeah I couldn't get her to eat chickpea masala to save her life.

Although I totally understand your point of view — one bitten, twice shy — it's unfortunate that all PhDs will no longer stand a chance with you because of one person.

I've also heard from people who are hiring that having a PhD is seen as a major disadvantage, but for other reasons. In one informational interview, I was told that people think PhDs will want exorbitant salaries, corner offices, etc., and
also come with huge egos. I've worked with lots of PhDs over the years from really diverse fields and I've never encountered that, which is not to say it doesn't happen, though.

As I say, my background is weird — and I include my PhD in that — which makes life difficult when job hunting.
In general I agree that the C standard isn't really relevant for day to day work and that it matters more what compilers actually implement, but a C library author needs to follow the users, and that means at least supporting GCC, Clang and MSVC (and the MSVC C frontend follows the C standard much more strictly than GCC and Clang).
Automation is not only about saving time in each iteration but about saving a lot of time and headache (downtime, money) when you introduce a manual error (plus it has many other benefits like other people can execute the task, auditability etc etc)
