They are. Any sort of "open flame burner" is likely to emit an awful lot of PM 2.5.

However, most of the lanterns (think your standard "hurricane lantern" or "cold blast lantern") are quite clean burning. I've been using lanterns for a while now, and I have the equipment to measure PM2.5 and PM10 (post author here, you can find reviews of my lanterns and my particulate sensors elsewhere on my blog).

The lanterns are "basically zero" in terms of PM2.5 and PM10 in the exhaust stream, and when you dig into papers talking about kerosene lighting and particulates, they come to the same conclusions - most of the particulate is from the open flame kerosene burners, not the actual lanterns.

I use lanterns in my office in the winter for some extra heat (I'm the "solar shed" guy, winter sucks during inversions), and I see a fairly rapid rise in CO2 levels (about like another 2-3 people in my space), but I don't see high PM2.5 unless I've got an actual open flame candle going.
I don't care what they do. I'm just observing that they and others over leveraged themselves and now need to lay people off because of market conditions.
The infotainment and lighting + other controls really sells it…

I more meant that even from a style standpoint, I never had that happen when I drove a Honda. There’s also features like making the engine “purr” which works really well on dates. There’s just a lot of integrated features they can control, to the point that not only is it useable and I like it better than CarPlay. It also has tangible benefits and genuinely helps me score. With features that wouldn’t be possible with a CarPlay based os and not having everything super integrated.
The whinging was, I assume, to earn some article publishing fee.
I agree. But this article describes thoroughly and repeatedly that no one said "Ah, it's fine."

You said, "The article downplayed the seriousness of a tail strike." I was pointing out that the thing they described multiple times did not sound like downplaying to me, as a layperson. "They immediately landed," sounds serious. "They grounded the fleet," sounds serious. "The planes required inspection before being allowed to fly," sounds serious. Nothing in the article reads to me, as a layperson, as if they were saying a tail strike is not serious.
Makes sense! Thanks for that context. I believe your approach is a sane default in many cases, and in some cases cheat prevention can even be a rabbit hole of premature optimization for smaller teams. Oftentimes in modern multiplayer games remediation is a manual human process (i.e. players are banned by administrators based on reports from players). There are many hugely successful and profitable games which take this approach, so I don't think it should necessarily be written off completely as "wrong". There are also many successful games (even AAA ones) where cheating is prevalent and widespread despite attempts at prevention. It strikes me as a tradeoff around velocity and time spent for the team. For smaller teams I suspect time is often better spent shipping rather than hyper-optimizing cheat prevention, but that is just my opinion and is also dependent on the context.
You don't have to do that. If you're writing against Linux specifically, and your use case could make great use of Linux-specific features, use them! I've certainly done that in the past.

But I've also written a whole lot of software which really couldn't care less about the OS. It needs some way to list directories, some way to read and write files, maybe some way to communicate over the network, but everything interesting happens in code that's not related to interacting with the OS. In those cases, I love that I can just write against one API and know that, if it doesn't already just work on all posixy systems, it's at least going to be easy to port.
Summary: "I don't like the APIs that are available, and I want someone to hurry and make better ones!"
“Sorry judge. I didn’t know I couldn’t do that.” Works every time!
>Invoking the general argument to draw ire,

I did not invoke the general argument. What I was intending to do was to point out that the stimulus checks were only a small fraction of expansionary monetary policy during COVID.

>and then directing that attention at things besides the overwhelming systemic problems

The examples I gave were intended to demonstrate the general point referenced above, and not to be exhaustive.

>very least echoing people who are arguing in bad faith.

I was refuting a bad-faith argument from the people you are complaining about. The conventional line is that the stimulus checks were a primary driver of inflation. I explained why that is not true. You accuse me of "echoing" that argument. This is ridiculous.

>Fraudulent PPP "loans", while despicable, are much closer to the little guy than QE

If I'm going to entertain this line of reasoning, shouldn't we at least consider that the Fed bought distressed loans at the same time that many landlords may have been pushed towards default, and foreclosure sales prevented, due to the eviction moratorium? That may be closer to the little guy than it seems at first.
There are significant differences between the cases; in that Netflix case, img2img was used to generate more details from scenes that were already fairly fleshed out and drawn. That process seems more analogous to running a picture through Photoshop filters.

There's certainly a blurry line here, it's never going to be 100% cut and dry. I can copyright a figure drawing I do, but I can't copyright my drawing of a straight line. Maybe text-to-image can't be copyrighted, but image-to-image results can. Going to take a long while to resolve this.
Perhaps, but just like humans some are more adept at tasks than others. And an AGI using LLM's is completly feasable, for example on a quick thought a LLM could be trained on many LLM all specifically designed for tasks, and verfied against other LLMs, etc
How many majority black countries were afforded the opportunity to grow up unmolested by great powers during their formative post colonial years?

How many once in a generation leaders were assassinated or deposed in favor of brutal yet capital friendly regimes?

America, with all its cultural heritage of Washington, Hamilton, Jefferson and Lincoln barely survived the 1960’s due to political assassinations. It’s hard to expect younger nations to fair better.
That's been the default for the whole software industry for the last 20 years at least.

>They cite ample precedents that US courts have consistently held that disclaimers are not needed to distinguish parody from sincere libel/slander for a "reasonable person," who precedent holds is not the average person or a "lowest-common denominator, but of reasonable intelligence and learning."

This wasn't about slander though. It was about the 10 x unnecessary 911 calls caused by the page. He also didn't help himself by deleting all comments saying the page was fake, and posting a warning on his page when the police posted a warning about his fake page.

I bought a Libre 3 a couple weeks ago—I’m not diabetic, but there is some early Alzheimer’s in the family that might be related to diabetes.

…so far, I’m finding it wildly inaccurate. It shows trends well enough, but blood glucose is anywhere from 0-40 mg/dL off from a finger prick test depending on the day. I couldn’t imagine relying on this thing as a diabetic.
I find that breathing out until completely out of air, holding that for 5-10 seconds, then breathing as deeply as possible and holding that for 5-10 seconds stops hiccups every time. Anecdotal of course but works for me.
I agree moped scale does not scale to cars, but it's so practical, and does or could have a place. I really think most people don't have a place in their head for e-bikes. It would scale up a little more. I have not seen normal mainstream videos of people swapping moped batteries. How do I search for such videos? I only see clearly advertising/prototypes on YouTube. I was shocked when I saw this in person. I am just going off of what I saw around the Pearl River Delta (China) cities. I will say this will not work in my area (Too cold/suburbs) It would be totally awesome on bike paths, but think this is pipe dream. It's kind of like saying they should allow jet skis in the smaller park lakes. Never going to happen.

Observably, quite a lot, considering these CEOs are dedicating so much of their life towards this when they could easily stop working now and be rich forever if they only cared about holiday homes and boats.
>Technically that can be said for any species that breeds beyond carrying capacity of its local environment. Humans are no different.

Not at all. Most species that over breed their local environment have die offs. But, if the overpopulation is too severe they can damage the environment and go extinct from the environment.

But, you're looking at the local scale and this is much too small of scope. A few billion years ago there was something closer to the game we play called the Great Oxygen Catastrophe. This unfolded at a global scale and lead to worldwide die offs of bacteria as they produced too much oxygen. Eventually it is thought they caused the extinction of a huge portion of the oxygen producing bacteria and paved the way for lifeforms that could survive in the altered planet.

The Christchurch shooter was an australian (to our eternal shame). But he shot up a school in New Zealand instead of in australia because it was easier to buy guns in NZ. (Was easier. They pushed through stricter gun controls after that incident).
I am a big fan of LEDs but the strobe effect is maddening and it only gets worse as they are dimmed. AC power crosses zero volts with every cycle so you need a driver circuit that can compensate. Most don't do a good job and I have replaced bulbs and dimmers multiple times to come up with something acceptable.

At the family camp, I retired my kerosene and propane mantle lamps in favor of solar battery powered LEDs many years ago. It was a matter of safety and convenience at the time, especially with children everywhere. The LEDs are powered directly from DC and I have no problem at all with them.

“ No sane person is going to invest in a scheme to turn lead into gold, but early-stage startups—and even some mid- and late-stage startups—rarely present such a clear-cut profile”

Why not? If the founder is sufficiently charismatic, huge followers and lots of suckers willing to pile in. Sure the odds of a real product are zero but odds of a 100x exit are non zero.

One of my favorite travel memories was driving through rural France looking for a pharmacy around noon.

Every store in the small town was closed, so we decided to head to a restaurant for lunch… and it was packed.

All the shops close up around noon so people can go eat lunch, then go back to work.

That seemed so remarkably human and logical, yet insane as an American. I never wanted to leave.
Any chance of offering GitHub Runners as a tweak of the underlying “hard parts”?
I’ve had really good luck with this type of offering from BuildJet, except that they don’t offer any ability to have persistent volume between runners. So all of our builds are fast _except_ the ones that build containers, but it’s too much of a pain to have some stuff in GitHub Actions with 3rd party hosted runner and then a totally different system for container builds/test workflows.

I'm happy to see they referenced the classic essay by Thomas Nagel, "What is it Like to Be a Bat?"

That was required reading when I was studying Philosophy back in the day. I guess that's what made so much science fiction interesting: knowing how others experience things is a great antidote against solipsism.
Anything that doesn't require the processing power can and should still run on the car, brake by wire is totally fine. I just don't mind if my phone has access to a few more sensors here and there, having CarPlay tell me if my tire pressures are low or being able to adjust my EV's profiles from the CarPlay UI would be nice.

p.s. this interesting paper (2014) also showed up in ISG issue regarding file systems.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1404.2637

A fundamental Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) characteristic in Cloud Computing is to be application-specific; depending on the application, Cloud Providers (CPs) restrict data formats and attributes allowed into their servers via a data validation process. An ill-defined data validation process may directly impact both security (e.g. application failure, legal issues) and accounting and charging (e.g. trusting metadata in file headers). Therefore, this paper investigates, evaluates (by means of tests), and discusses data validation processes of popular CPs. A proof of concept system was thus built, implementing encoders carefully crafted to circumvent data validation processes, ultimately demonstrating how large amounts of unaccounted, arbitrary data can be stored into CPs.

Wouldn't be a good comparison. They specifically agree she has copyright over the whole work+arrangement, so the short as a whole is 100% copyrighted. Netflix used AI for the background images, so those are the only parts that might be public domain, but you also don't know how heavily edited or modified by hand the backgrounds are (and realistically, they probably were a lot); this would also grant a copyright (and they deny her the copyright on the grounds that all her edits to the images were trivial). So "Dog and Boy" is quite safe under their novel interpretation.

"We" as in a total society or specifically as men do not stack any of these specific expectations on young girls. Young girls do this to each other. The influencers are girls and followed by girls. Instagram is girl territory and all the social gossip around it is girls.

They're not trying to win boys' approval, instead girls' approval.

Social ranking amidst young girls is natural behavior, what changed is that the limits of the physical world that kept it in check were removed, and now we see the fly-wheel effect.

> I see quite a few projects challenging The Way Things Are Done (Rust, NeoVim, Fish, OilShell, etc) to which there is a lot of kicking and screaming that things are fine.

What you often see are half-baked, trivial re-implementations of some parts of existing utilities and then the proclamation "Rust is here and it's so much better!".

A program that amounts to some undergrad's semester project isn't going to be taken seriously - and they often are not. The existing utilities are decades old, are very good at what they do, and rarely are the cause of the supposed bugs we're trying to avoid.

Shell replacements, such as OilShell, can gain traction on their own, because a shell is mostly system agnostic. The struggle here is reaching critical mass of users, while also supporting all of the millions of existing shell scripts out there in the wild.

No one is going to make your new wiz-bang shell the system default on a popular distro without it being completely compatible with existing shell scripts, documentation, examples, etc. It's just a non-starter...
I don’t know but my experience with other medical devices in this space supports your supposition that this will not be certified for medical use.

My understanding is that it’s a “safety” concern (read: liability). Because it would be providing “medical” advice the requirements around design are skewed to ensure that it doesn’t kill people rather than being permissive about the user experience [1]. Out of context, this seems sensible (therac anyone?) In practice this means that sensors like the Dexcom or Medtronic have “features” like alerts that cannot be silenced until the device is calibrated with blood. This makes sense from a safety perspective but is not particularly forgivable at 3am when the thing refuses to stop beeping until you feed it blood. I would guess that Apple will try, but they may find that their desired UX may not be compatible with the requirements imposed by the FDA process.

[1] This personal anecdote is old. I hope things have improved.
> Those however who think that radiologists (/lawyers/secretaries) will get automated away, don't really understand what a radiologist's job really is.

As someone intimately familiar with the job of a radiologist, please then tell me what "a radiologist's job really is".

A diagnostic radiologist's job is to take a series of images, and output a set of findings and diagnoses. There is essentially no better task suited to modern AI. Yes, radiologists can do procedures like biopsies and potentially other interventions, but diagnostic radiologists often solely read images or at least earn the vast majority of their RVUs by reading images.
I don't know whether or not this is a factor, but apparently the Goldstone Solar System Radar (GSSR) facility used can operate in either of two modes, monostatic in which the Goldstone facility both sends and receives radar transmissions, and bistatic in which Goldstone transmits whilst two other facilities receive the bounced signal.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldstone_Solar_System_Radar>

It seems possible to me that for a near-earth object it might be possible for a bistatic image to show a perspective difference between the side nearest the transmission and receiving antennae.

Though at five times Earth-Lunar distance (about 2 million km), any such parallax baseline would be minimal (13 thousand km).

The postprocessing explanation offered elsewhere seems far more likely.
Over the past year, China has helped Moscow by buying Russian oil and selling commercial items, like microchips and drones, that also have military applications.

That China might provide lethal weapons to Russia—based on new intelligence—is a marked departure from the more general dual-use goods that Chinese firms have been providing over the past year, U.S. and European officials say. The officials declined to detail what the intelligence said.

Looks like china is leaning a little too far into the strike zone and is getting brushed back.

Almost everyone knows the war is over the minute a certain 70 year old dictator is removed from power. Until then there's some money to be made and points to be scored.

> First, that's not the right legal standard. The standard is whether there is a "modicum of creativity," not whether Kris could "predict what Midjourney [would] create ahead of time." In other words, the Office incorrectly focused on the output of the tool rather than the input from the human.

if the input is a prompt that anyone can write.... for example if i wrote "elephant with blue skin" into midjourney and someone else also did, and we get exactly the same image or a totally different image, it doesnt matter does it?

how does "elephant with blue skin" or any other prompt meet the criteria of 'modicum of creativity'?

in the end, its the tool that is doing the heavy lifting and being able to copyright its output sounds against the spirit of copyright (allow a human to get proper compensation for their creative work and incentivize creativity) imo.

is there something obvious i am missing?

Replying to my own comment: I found a 2021 paper that goes over all the different technologies being considered, and the wide variety is frankly staggering. Table 10 lists ten different principles under consideration (fluorescence, spectroscopy, etc.) with their various pros/cons. Not ELI5, but as close as you might get:

https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/2516-1091/abe6f8#...

Seems like spectroscopy seems particularly promising, and according to the article, that's the approach Apple is taking. (Makes sense for a watch.)

And from the paper, the challenges with spectroscopy are signal interference -- scattering, water absorption, and distinguishing between glucose and other sugar components. So it ultimately sounds like a fiendishly complex signal processing problem. Which is exactly the kind of problem that is very very hard yet maybe not impossible.
Total aside but thank you for discussing the term “sequentially consistent” that’s the exact thing I was searching for just a couple weeks ago but didn’t know what to call it (I was searching for monotonically consistent).
