Universal Hydrogen: the largest hydrogen fuel cell ever to fly
Are you seriously asserting when people say "poor people", they do so in a non-poverty manner and use it instead to describe people as inferior?

Also, people in poverty should be deserving of sympathy and charity. Is that now suddenly offensive that people should want to help others that are less fortunate than themselves? If you are in a position where you need help, part of your responsibility is to humble yourself and let people help you (while not eradicating you're personal responsibility either). Someday you may be the one to give charity, and it's also just as insulting and disheartening when your charity is rejected out of pride.

I’m pretty sure they’re describing a wound-rotor synchronous motor.

In that case it wouldn’t have a commutator per se but constant-contact slip rings. These last a lot longer since they’re not subject to arcing.

The advantage is that unlike with permanent magnets it’s possible to reduce the strength of the rotor’s magnetic field at will (although there are some hacks that can be done with field-oriented control that provide the same field-weakening effect).

I think you are being rather naive that the Chinese won't simply bribe the right people and any benefit from the extraction actually reaches the Afghan people or increases their GDP in any meaningful way.

They can try anyhow, who knows how well that will go. Might be their turn to get stuck in a quagmire over there.
Based on the article it looks like a Cooler Master rebrand. Cooler Master is not Chinese. It's also not low quality, they're one of the most well regarded names in PC cooling. Their Hyper 212 line has been one of the most recommended coolers since I can remember -- well over a decade, at least.

How Wired Will Use Generative AI Tools
Hey! Chartbrew owner here

Grafana is an amazing product and offers a lot more features than Chartbrew. The main difference is that grafana focuses on monitoring performance metrics and Chartbrew is more tailored for business/product metrics.

Also, quite a few of our customers use Chartbrew because of the Firebase integrations

> That being said, is the Lena picture still being frequently used? Because I don't recall seeing it that often lately anymore

It's not part of the SIPI image db since 2017/2018; hence it is getting less frequently used. Probably only by researchers, who didn't update their copy in the last 5-6 years.
> As a few other commenters stated, the model hasn't explicitly stated whether she supports the use of the photo or not.

Yes, she has. It's at the bottom of linked article:

Lena added: “I retired from modelling a long time ago. It’s time I retired from tech, too.
We can make a simple change today that creates a lasting change for tomorrow. Let’s commit
to losing me.”
I don't want to use Typescript for everything.

A recent example is a Chrome extension I wrote for the sake of proving out a feature.

Totally not interested in setting up a build system, dealing with dependencies, type safety, and so forth. I just want to write code and immediately see it run. Having JSDoc is nice to document more than just types, but type hints can be helpful.

> My question is how do you reuse and test the JS doc signatures? Can I export comments? Will my tests fail if the types mismatch?

You can import types now, at least with VS Code.

```
/*
* @typedef {import('./types.js').MyType} MyType
*/
```

Haven't found myself using it, though.

The worst part for me is that I wanted a few "simple" UI tweaks with Emacs. I really wanted to use it.

But I wanted it to have a native tab bar and I wanted to move the command bar at the top, with dropdowns instead of "expand-ups" (turns out, I read right-to-left, top-down, not right-to-left, bottom-up. You can't have either of those, in the world's most extensible editor :-(
Can we please just have some things with some soul? This is a cute photo, the model in the photo has said she thinks is cool and kindof funny that it has been used for image research, the story is kindof cute and funny, and it's just...all around wholesome.

For the first kid its the two punch combo: lack of sleep and a completely new lifestyle that you are adapting too. Most people forget that there is a massive lifestyle change that can be hard depending on the lifestage you are at before the adjustment.
Take this example: I really really want to be a rotary wing pilot and run search/rescue. Unfortunately the number of flight hours to get to that level requires 5-10 years of experience.

It truly would be a restart, and unlike software development, I'd have to move to where the job is, not the other way around like we're all used to.

Just something to consider.

Very silly advice. I use both emacs (Doom, as my IDE) and vim (as my CLI editor - git commits, etc) and telling people to use either one instead of the other is like telling them to use a car instead of a bicycle, when they already have made a transit plan and are happy with their situation. Emacs is just simply bigger in scope than vim; its ecosystem of packages and functions is completely unparalleled in vim-world; and as for vim it is useful for simplicity, efficiency, and ubiquity. They serve different purposes and they are both good tools.

I am currently looking into charting / business intelligence solutions, so I took a quick look at this one too.

What I prefer here over Grafana is that it seems to be written in plain JavaScript. Which would make it much easier for me to customize it / contribute to the project. Grafana seems to be a mix of TypeScript and Go, which means compilation steps before you can see changes in action.
I’m gay. Whether someone calls me fag or gay or LGBTQI+ (this one I hate more that “fag”, BTW) is orthogonal to:

a) how they treat me

b) whether they would actually stick their neck out for me when it really matters (e.g. marriage equality).

I will almost universally guarantee that the same person who insists on non-offensive language for me would NOT fight for marriage equality if it means they have to give up something or risk something. True ally.

I agree. This post has so much visibility on Reddit and HN. The manager is openly discussing terminating the employee with strangers online. The situation and the details are so specific. If this is real, the employee is likely to find this post, or the HR department.

How does a qualified manager think this is at all okay?
The article claims the opposite. I haven't looked at BMW's press release, so I don't know where the claim comes from.

"It's a big advance in terms of the efficiency of the electric motor, while getting away from the use of rare earth minerals."

Their reasoning:

"Permanent magnet machines typically rank as the most power-dense electric motors, but there's no turning permanent magnets "off." Their magnetic fields never change, so when they're not being powered by energy in the stator winding, they're generating energy in those windings, which creates drag."
Small kids don't have much power, and parents know that it's just a phase.

But I'm not expecting AIs to be declared people any time soon. I just think it will become harder to treat them purely as replaceable objects.
It's important not to actually try to address this nonsense. The idea here not to honestly engage. It's to oppose all change on principal, and pretend it's for some reason (the theory) when it's really just a matter of (bad) personal choices.

It's the equivalent of the Chewbacca defence but for public discourse: no one can make any progress if someone just screams nonsense constantly and that suits the person screaming...
I bought a saw stop literally last week -- depending on your needs, they have a "compact" table saw which is basically equivalent to the craftsman jobsite $250 one, but it's $900. That said, it's head and shoulders above the basic ones in build quality, QoL features, and many other things too, PLUS it has the sawstop system.

As a hobbyist in a small shop, I bought it as my "best saw i'll need for a very long time".

The $200 saws are pieces of garbage that anyone who pursues the hobby for more than like a few months will rapidly discover the flaws of. Best bet is middle-road to get like a dewalt for $400 or so but even that has flaws compared to the sawstop.
Sometimes it is purely paranoia.

I have worked at a company that had the policy that any time an employee gave notice that they were leaving, the employee immediately had their access credentials revoked and was walked out of the building by security. The justification for this policy was that the employee might decide to sabotage systems if they were leaving.

While I think it is unnecessary in nearly all cases, I can at least understand the reasoning for a policy of immediately cutting access and walking an employee out after that employee has been informed that they are being fired or laid off. But there is NO sense in having the policy for employees who are choosing to leave. The policy of walking employees out immediately was well known. If such an employee HAD wanted to sabotage systems or plant a back-door, they would have done so after deciding to leave but before informing their managers. The policy served no rational purpose.
Is Poland's tap water protected by clams? [video]
What's This?
Your grandmother may have fond memories of the time she met your grandfather, but she likely also has many negative memories of all the men she turned down -- and who then insulted her for doing so. It wasn't all of them, but it only takes a few men calling you a "bitch" to make you want to carry a sign that says "please don't talk to me".

Her granddaughter goes online, where she makes herself available for dating. And yeah, she knows she's going to get a lot of unpleasantness, but at least it's confined to a place she's expecting it. It's not following her into every grocery store, every restaurant, every gym.

The behavior was always creepy. Women were just expected to tolerate it. If you want to meet somebody romantically, go to the places set aside for it. Which also includes some people in some bars, in fact, but you know that every woman on a dating site is there for dating.
> We consider portability to be crucial because it protects users from sudden bans, server shutdowns, and policy disagreements

I think this will have the opposite effect. Account portability means that being banned on one site can ban you on another if you try to use the same ID. Being persistently recognized across accounts seems like a net-negative for all of these things.
They should interview single guys who aren't trying to find women who like them and are entirely unbothered by it.
I'm disappointed that you didn't actually think about my points, and instead decided to pick out one sentence to interpret in the most bad-faith way possible.
I assume you did this to "turn the tables" on someone you perceived as as a woke moralist trying to trap you, but I didn't do any such thing. I was trying to make a broader point and used examples that I assumed we were in agreement on, and even clarified that I wasn't making an accusation. If that isn't the case, then you may replace them with whatever examples you find compelling (religious practices are a good starting point). The specific example is irrelevant to the argument.

You posted on a public forum and I'm replying on that public post, no great bother is needed to justify the effort. Í just wanted to point out what I perceive as flaws in your evaluation of others and the unproductive behavior you displayed in this thread.

Opinions of others matter to most people, especially when espoused in public; that's just how it is. Whether or not it should bother them is irrelevant, because that does not change reality. If you ignore that dimension and instead pretend to live in a world where everyone evaluates everything based on rationality alone, then you're deluding yourself just as much as the people you're criticizing.

We obviously shouldn't just consider the negative emotional impact something may have on others when deciding what to say or post, but judging by the way you've been acting here, I don't think your sense of what is and isn't appropriate is as well-calibrated as you think it is.

Research looking at a GPT model trained to play othello showed it had a model of the board state rather than simply pattern matching moves. You're confusing the training of a model with the operation of a model.
Hungry for Fingertips
Even as someone who is in charge, it can be incredibly difficult to effect change once this type of culture is established. The only way it can happen is if enough people know it's wrong up and down the chain and are able to consciously recognize the systemic problems and rally individuals to start pulling the cart out of the mud. This is easier said than done, because most people are willing to put up with a tremendous amount of bullshit as long as it is predictable bullshit and they don't feel responsible for it.

I also want to challenge your framing about learned helplessness by "the one in control". It's true that in many situations you won't have power and you need to pick your battles. But on the other hand, everyone has some degree of agency, and programming especially requires folks to understand what they are doing and how it fits into larger systems (both technological and human). As a manager, I have seen a tremendous amount of learned helplessness based on assumed constraints that simply were not true. Yes, in some cases it's justified, but the most successful people tend to have fewer assumed constraints, regularly take action to do what they can to improve things, and they aren't easily discouraged when (inevitably) outcomes fall short of their ideal vision.
Boeing Engineers Set a New Record for Paper Plane Distance
It depends on what you're doing. If you load some data, process it with some Numpy routines (where speed-critical parts are implemented in C) and save a result, you can probably be almost as fast as C++... however if you write your algorithm fully in Python, you might have much worse results than being 10x slower. See for example: https://shvbsle.in/computers-are-fast-but-you-dont-know-it-p... (here they have ~4x speedup from good Python to unoptimized C++, and ~1000x from heavy Python to optimized one...)

When Jack first started speaking about bluesky on Twitter, years ago, ActivityPub was a lot more niche and he ignored any message related to it. It definitely looked like a NIH as he could have started to discuss activitypub specification. I was myself heavily invested in decentralized protocols (from blockchain to activitypub) and really tried to understand what he was trying to achieve.

My feeling was, in the end, clear: he wanted a "decentralised protocol" on which he had full power (aka "VC-style decentralisation").

You have to keep in mind that those successful in the valley know only one kind of thinking: raise money, get users, sell off. They can’t grasp decentralisation other than as a nice marketing term to add to their product (and, as Ripple demonstrated during the Cryptobubble, they are completely right when it comes to make tons of money with shitty tech).

To my knowledge, acknowledgement of ActivityPub came after the huge Mastodon burst caused by Elon Musk. It’s more a "oh shit, we are not the first" kind of reaction.

Also, you don’t simply design a decentralised protocol behind closed doors then expect everybody to adopt it. You need to be transparent, to discuss in the open. People need to know who is in charge and why. They also need to know every single decision. Decentralisation cannot be done without open source paradigms. That’s the very point of it.

I think we can safely assume that Jack has simply hit his mental glass ceiling. He doesn’t get it. He doesn’t have the mental model to get it. He will probably never get it (he became a billionaire by "not getting it" so there’s no reason for him to change). The whole project is simply him throwing money at a few developers telling him what he expect to hear in order to get pay.

Isn't theatlantic one of the leading proponent of censorship?
Only skimmed the paper, but I'd say one potential issue is that they show good results in tabular data domains, where it's likely easier to get away with minimal models than in other domains, such as visual/lidar/audio data. And it seems to me those are the domains where it'd actually be more interesting to deploy this kind of model. In either case, there seems to be a tradeoff in that while you're saving space/energy with the hardware model, updating that model after its deployed might be more complicated than with a typical software-only model.

As we know, history shows us that societies in which the bulk of young men have no prospects for marriage and families are stable and healthy. /s
