If you look at greyhound popular destinations (SF, LA, Seattle), busing is already very popular, into those cities. It isn’t really a thing society does, rather Texan prisons will give releases inmates open bus tickets if they have no one picking them up, and they go to cities where they’ll survive.

I took a greyhound as a kid from Vicksburg to Seattle (along the southern then northern route, over 4 days), and got to witness this first hand.

Anyways, you just don’t survive being homeless in Great Falls Montana, so either you are dead or you first wind up in Spokane, then eventually in Seattle.
I think it's actually immoral to change the works of artists without the artist agreeing to it.
“Guy who verifies” sounds pretty plausible to me. With both companies having tens of thousands of employees within miles of each other, and many who have worked at both, and get drunk together, it would be pretty hard to keep everyone involved from noticing if the numbers didn’t match up.

It also refers to what is fundamental or characteristic of something. Social media would be a fundamental element of daily life for a great number of people.

Personally I don't think it is very important and have never been a part of social media in any meaningful sense but I am not particularly social in general so I can not offer anything beyond pointing out that words often have more than one meaning.

The Dahl estate owned the rights to the books until 2021, when Netflix bought them outright for a reported $686 million, building on an earlier rights deal. The American streaming service now has overall control over the book publishing, as well as various adaptation projects that are in the works. These are the first new editions since the deal, but the review began before the sale

Didn't know this, and why am I not surprised.
Consciousness apparently arose from evolution, which is a funny process of optimization under stochastic conditions. (There's also a good amount of pattern recognition involved.)

Why is it that optimizing for survival can lead to consciousness, but not predictive coding? Nothing here is trivial.
I will compare some nominal power inputs to add perspective about the dead in the water forced air furnace.

I will compare a nominal 3Ton = 36,000 BTU/h (10.55kW) furnace+AC running at about 1200CFM with gas fuel input at 45,000 BTU/h to similar heat pump system outputs and electric resistance heat.

The central furnace fan is probably about 1/2 horsepower rating (372W) and has some design tolerance built in where the brake horsepower is less than this. The heating output at 80% efficiency is 36,000 BTU/h (10.55kW). This output is constant regardless of outside temperature. This could be run with a small inverter generator or possibly a robust battery system in the 20kWh range with appropriate solar.

Note that the heating input for this size of furnace can go up to ~155,000 BTU/h (45.4kW) with only the same amount of fan power needed in the form of electricity.

Looking through Mitsubishi literature, a 3ton hyper heat pump (SUZ-KA36NAHZ) at 17f can deliver 25400 BTU/h (7439 W) of heat output with an input of 2490 W. You will need strip heat to supplement this output to make up the difference (10.55kW - 7.439kW = 3.1kW of electric heat) So total power input is 3.1kW + 2.49kW = 5.6kW input for 10.55kW output. This might be short a few hundred watts as you still have to run the fan. This could be done with a larger portable generator.

http://mylinkdrive.com/USA/M_Series/R410A_Systems-1/Outdoor_...

Electric resistance heat would need the full 10,550 W to equal the output and now you need a relatively large fixed natural gas generator and transfer switch.

My personal opinion is that a heat pump system for normal operation with a natural gas or propane furnace as backup emergency heating is a good option to cover emergency situations as much as possible without adding an additional separate system like a wood burning heater or similar device.
I don’t. That’s a perfectly reasonable perspective.

>I'm thinking Satya is pretty jealous of this arrangement. Recent comments of his suggest that he thinks Google should be paying Microsoft every time a Windows user searches on Google.

I don’t doubt Satya feels that way, but for the situation to really be analogous, Google would need to be the default search on Windows instead of Bing. Google has to deal with Apple because Google wants to be the default on the iPhone.

I'm a gay man and I think we are going to far with this PC nonsense. I had a hard time growing up in the 90s knowing I was different and being tormented by my peers, so I'm happy to see gay "normalized" in current pop culture more because I think it teaches the younger generation to accept themselves and others. However I feel that it's going to far, for example I started reading a novel the other day but gave up a third of the way through because every character was some form of LGBT or interracial or something. It made the story seem fake and unrealistic. I think editing classic books is wrong even if it is covering up something like hate or bigotry. History forgotten is history bound to repeat itself.

The important thing to consider is: What tradeoffs are required to achieve consistency for your use case?

Delivering consistency in either the CAP or ACID sense requires some amount of constraints on other aspects of the system. Sometimes making this tradeoff it worth it, sometimes it isn't.

The key is to make the value analysis for each problem you face so you can determine the best overall solution to the problem at hand.

LXD is only available via Ubuntu proprietary Snap packages and not native .deb packages. Native as in Ubuntu is a Debian derivative, and .deb packages are the native package for Debian.

Snap has some downsides for server/infrastructure packages. Automatic updating being the most visible, but they are generally all about lack of control. This is what Snap does, it moves the power from users to developers.

There was a commercial my family and I used to love back in either the late 90s or early 2000s (I was probably 10 at most, so I don't remember exactly) where a couple was super excited to be receiving an advertisement CD rom, and they rushed to open it...and put it into the last remaining slot of a giant tower they had constructed from hundreds of them that I believe was shaped like a fish. The other funny part my siblings and parents and I liked was when they got to the part of the commercial actually advertising something and taglines were showing up on the screen and the couple broke the fourth wall and commented on them ("Oh look honey, 'dramatically cut spam'!"). I tried to mention this to my girlfriend a while back, since we're almost exactly the same age and a lot of memorable commercials from our childhoods overlapped, but she had no idea what I was talking about, and I couldn't find it (or even any mention of it) online anywhere.
Thanks for the links. By glancing at Microsoft docs it seems to be more complex than I thought :)
Except none of that is anywhere near good.
The math used in AES (Rijndael) utilize operations in GF(2^8) tho, so you're doing operations using Galois fields whether your utilizing GCM or CBC. I don't really see how adding the GCM mode utilizing GF(2^128) on top is significantly more difficult or error prone than implementing the AES block cipher itself. You should still be familiar with operations over Galois fields regardless if you've for some reason (foolishly imo) decided you want to implement AES cryptographic primitives on your own.

Regardless there's no good reason not to use a vetted open source implementation instead, preferably with an even higher level of abstraction so your not having to worry about ciphers or modes of operation at all[1].

> "I really don't get why people are so offended by these changes..."

The problem is, changes are made simply because a fictional female character happens to stay at home. Which is fine if she wants that, or it happens in the story.

I don't get why parents are so untrusting of their children's ability to think, that they censor and change language found in old books. Are they worried their kids will become monsters if they're not spoon-fed censored content?

Thanks for the reply! I have to say, I am quite giddy. When I posted this question, I wasn't expecting to get a reply from an author and researcher on this very topic.

I am a software engineer by profession, but this is a topic that has been on the back of my mind for many years. Even when I read popsci books about the universe and the big bang and so on, i felt spiritually unsatisfied because they often do not address this elephant in the room - consciousness. A theory of everything that explains the laws of universe will be imo incomplete if it doesn't also explain, at the fundamental level, the laws of the universe that exists behind our eyes. It really deserves more attention and awareness among geeks and the general public.
Someone self-studies a pretty challenging book on data structures and
algorithms and you don't think that makes them curious and motivated to the
point that you'd not feel comfortable working with them?

Not really, no. There are plenty of grinders who will pick the most difficult book and study it, not because they think it will make them better at solving problems, but because they think it will elevate them above their peers. Why you study is as important as what you study.

Coverage is the best example of Goodhart's Law, never focus on it.

Integration tests are typically best bang for buck: https://kentcdodds.com/blog/write-tests

Once manual testing starts causing noticeable pain, you can start automating some of it. This may very well be beyond $10-100M in valuation.

A lot of people say unit tests give them confidence, but that's a delusion. Losing confidence in your code means you have outgrown your architecture. However, you can temporarily address it with more tests, because addressing architecture issues takes some time. The secret is to write as little tests as possible to bring confidence back to acceptable level.

Don't spend more than 10% time on tests.

Don't let junior engineers write tests.
Propane is a bit more expensive then traditional electric heat depending on the year.

It used to be much cheaper so a lot of old houses that aren't near a natural gas line were built with propane heat. You might save $200-1000 a year by switching to a heatpump but that means 10+ years to offset a ~$10000 install cost for a large unit professionally installed with a new 220 circuit run for it etc so most people just keep paying for propane or maybe use small electric space heaters.

And if you are somewhere you need to worry about pipes freezing in power outage a while you are away or temps bellow the heatpumps minimum -15f range a propane stove is a nice option. Relatively cheap to install and they can be setup to run on a thermostat with no grid power.

If i was building a new house i'd go heatpump + a propane stove for back up heat and a dual fuel induction/propane range.

Please do not bring kids. It is irrelevant here and can be even factually wrong.

In a poor country kinds are forced to do all kind of dangerous work. If not for cobalt they can be sent to fields and be subject for all chemicals used in modern agriculture. Or work in a sweatshop or in a factory with zero regulations about safety. The fact that they mine cobalt tells that this way more money can be earned than through other dangerous work.

I.e. the problem is that the country is poor. Fix that and kids will spent time in schools, not in mines.
Beautifully said. Wholeheartedly agree.
Right, and cobalt is a conflict mineral, which is partly why battery designers and researchers have been designing it out of batteries.

You are, in a way, asking what consciousness is and how one could recognize it. This has been a philosophical topic for millennia; this is a reasonable place to start reading: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/consciousness/

Sounds like the company was unable to measure work expectations before other than attendance. I've played DF at work, I've programmed on my own laptop sitting at work, with nothing to do in my nice suit (JP Morgan Chase). Hell, I've been at companies where the Engineering team does NOTHING and has no expectations for days (Tiger Logic in Irvine, CA). I've seen engineers with Twitch up all day or Xena Warrior princess for multiple days as a marathon in an open plan office (doing a rendition of the IT Crowd). WFH is not the root problem, if the company doesn't have a problem with low expectations.

Exactly. When I hear that someone has done the same algorithms book three times, I think of the Brazilian physics students that Richard Feynman encountered [1]:

After a lot of investigation, I finally figured out that the students had
memorized everything, but they didn’t know what anything meant. When they
heard “light that is reflected from a medium with an index,” they didn’t
know that it meant a material such as water. They didn’t know that the
“direction of the light” is the direction in which you see something when
you’re looking at it, and so on. Everything was entirely memorized, yet
nothing had been translated into meaningful words. So if I asked, “What is
Brewster’s Angle?” I’m going into the computer with the right keywords. But
if I say, “Look at the water,” nothing happens – they don’t have anything
under “Look at the water”!

Someone who's ground through an algorithms textbook three times, but doesn't have significant project experience is like a physics student who can name every equation, but cannot calculate the polarization angle of light reflected off water.

What's immoral is changing the works of artists but then passing it off as the artist's original.

Nothing wrong with changing the works of an artist or deriving new art from existing art so long as you make it very clear it is no longer the artist's original work. That's what ticks me off so much about this.

Some people may buy 2022 versions of Roald Dahl's literature thinking it's his original work when it is not.

I guess writers need to start having sha-256 hashes of all their works chiseled into their tombstones so that alterations can be detected post-mortem.
There isn't an industry standard any more, because manual lathes are essentially obsolete in industry and have been for decades. In toolrooms and job shops that still keep a manual lathe around for simple setups and repair work, it'll probably be an old lathe because there are still tons of excellent old lathes in circulation.

If you have the space and the budget, you probably want a TRAK toolroom lathe - they have a CNC controller with a simple conversational interface, but they're designed to be used as a mostly-manual lathe with canned cycles. Excellent machines from a supplier that really understands the needs of toolroom and job shop machinists.

If that's too big and/or too costly, you probably want a rebuilt Hardinge HLV-H. Yes, they are 50+ years old, but they're basically the perfect small lathe and they can still hold very tight tolerances if they're properly cared for. The HLV-H is still being cloned by a number of the higher-end Taiwanese manufacturers, for very good reason.

Failing that, try Precision Matthews. They sell basically the same import stuff as everyone else, but they have very good QC and aftersales support. Something like the PM-1236 is a massive step up in rigidity and quality compared to the <$2000 Chinese machines. Not perfect, but by far the best value if you want to buy a new machine.
