> "Lemaître talks in great length about his rival Sir Fred Hoyle, an English physicist who was one of the best-known and fierce proponents of the Steady State model but who also accidentally coined the term "Big Bang." Although he repeatedly calls out Hoyle for being wrong during the interview, Lemaître remarks that he has the "greatest admiration" for his colleague's work.

> Lemaître explains that the Steady State model could work only if the hydrogen required to make stars appeared "like a ghost" from nowhere, which he argued would go against the principle of conservation of energy, the idea that energy is neither created nor destroyed, only transformed from one type to another, which he described as "basically the most secure and solid thing in physics."

> "Instead, Lemaître argues in the video, the expansion could be traced back to the "disintegration of all existing matter into an atom," which created "an expanding space filled by a plasma" via a "process that we can vaguely imagine."

I like the image presented by Iain M. Banks in Excession of 'cosmic fireballs' generating successive Big Bangs one after the other in an infinite series to be kind of interesting, each one expanding outwards like concentric shells of an onion (in a sort of 2D model), resulting in a succession of stacked universes, not sure if that's at all valid or plausible (timing seems to be an issue).
More realistically, it needs to buy the hammer from a political donor, a family member or friend of a politician, or some other politically connected person. The hammer will cost many times as much as anyone else would pay for it, and may well be the wrong kind of hammer or otherwise defective, assuming it's delivered at all. If a bidding process is used, the criteria will usually have been designed to favour a predetermined winner.
TL;DR

ChatGPT is not search.

Google Search is heavily biased towards malware and highest-bidder ads (i.e., Amazon), because Google employs no actual security measures to block malware results from surfacing in Google Search and also Quantum stress-testing.

Result: Both results suck.
> denver really is trying, and they've come a long way! i'd love to see some improvements on vehicle calming and better cycling right of way on the neighborhood bikeways, but the highest priority issue has to be biking trail connectivity.

Totally. A year or so ago they installed a protected bike lane on 23rd st crossing 25 onto water st (to connect to the south platte river trail/REI), but then it snowed and people ran over all the rubber protectors because they couldn't see them. They've since added higher reflectors, so at least they learned from their mistakes! I have a bunch of the same style on 17th by Sloan's lake, so I feel decently protected from that area to the stadium and onto the south platte river trail.
I have a domain paid on there so I don't need to keep a site live on it (there is legacy email stuff pointed there). This past year they let it expire after I paid, took almost 2 months for them to correct it.

Previously this domain was unpaid and suspended for violating free TOS (need a website on the A record). I had to call this Dutch woman, we will call her Freenom lady, like 20 times for months to get her to finally unsuspend it and take my money for a paid registration. I'd say it was the worst but I have dealt with 1&1 and smaller enom resellers that disappeared.

So if my registration gets screwed with now, who do I go after? The country with ccTLD is with?
After that long paragraph which is basically saying "fuck you, bend over and take it", I'm surprised there's even a No button.

(Edit)

Maximum solar energy is on the equatorial side of the house.

Full-sun plants prefer maximum solar energy.

10ft (3m) underground it's about 75°F (24°C) all year. Geothermal systems leverage this. (Passive) Walipini greenhouses are partially or fully underground or in a hillside, but must also manage groundwater seepage and flooding; e.g. with a DC solar sump pump and/or drainage channels filled with rock.

Passive solar greenhouses (especially in China and now Canada) have a natural or mounded earthen wall thermal mass on one side, and they lower wool blankets over the upside-down wing airfoil -like transparent side at night and when it's too warm (with a ~4HP motor).

TIL an aquarium heater can heat a tank of water working as a thermal mass in a geodesic growing dome; which can be partially-buried or half-walled with preformed hempcrete block.

The shearing force due to wind on structures with corners (and passive rooflines) causes racking and compromise of structural integrity; round homes apparently fare best in hurricanes.
Came back to this post after thinking for a while precisely to mention this.

Right now, ChatGPT is sort of forced to "think" and talk at the same time, so it's hard for it to "reason" ahead of answering.

But, if we allowed him to produce some tokens in silence prior to answering, perhaps it could give even better answers.
> The economy is not metrics in the human mind.

It most certainly is and I have not encountered anything to indicate otherwise. Individual transactions are no more relevant than GDP is. These are individual metrics or acts that influence those metrics, which try to quantify aspects of an aggregate concept.
Here's a thought: If you let ChatGPT be idle, thinking to itself, dreaming and planning, this might actually cross the boundary towards sentience - of what we would call somebody who is alive. So there might be some safety and moral concerns.
Marketing is the skill of pairing consumer interest to business need. There are many different expressions of this, and they reflect different marketing ideologies.

To get started in the space, its helpful to think about how you decide to purchase something. That will tell you a bit about what kind of consumer you are. You can then read about how companies attempt to "reach" consumers like you, and what makes you different from other consumers.
I am not trying to be obtuse, I literally cannot think of any literal common sense explanation of how an oak tree could know more things than you.

Meh. The most important thing about React is you have to think like React wants you to. It's a very pattern-oriented type of development I haven't seen much of elsewhere.

Most of the footguns listed in this article are things you obviously shouldn't want to do because they're not React-y.
I agree the term is often abused, but I think the wikipedia page actually does a decent job of making the notion somewhat precise, along the lines I've been arguing here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-class_citizen

If you want to see what queries as first-class values looks like, LINQ in .NET is pretty close. I can actually write a series of queries that build on and compose with each other, like this:

IQueryable<Person> RunQuery(int userSelection)
{
var first = from x in People
select x;
var second = userSelection == 1
? from x in first where x.Birthday > '2000-01-01' select x
: from x in first where x.Name.Contains("Jane") select x;
return DumbJoin(first, second);
}

IQueryable<Person> DumbJoin(IQueryable<Person> first, IQueryable<second>)
{
return from x in second
join y in first on y.Role equals x.Role into g
select g;
}

This query is nonsense, but it just shows you what composition really looks like when queries are first-class values. I wish raw SQL were like this!

I totally agree and fixed it in the post you responded to. At the end of the day a panels and electronics are a minor contribution to the project cost.

I think in most of California it is still legal to do home electrical work, provided it is permitted and inspected, but I'm not sure if this is true for solar as well.
It seems to respond better if you include a 'in the context of <subject matter>' at the end of the prompt. Then keep refining context over a series of questions.

Before regulation it really depended on the buyer. Some people where putting down 5% without insurance, others had much stricter requirements.

We’ve settled on a really arbitrary system where for example the Federal Housing Administration requires huge upfront FHA insurance payments without regard for down payment size if it’s less than 20%. If you’ve saved up say a 8% down payment you really should be a significantly lower risk than someone putting down 3.5%.
Sometimes I feel like the only person in the world that actually likes confluence. Far from perfect, but better than a lot of the competition.

Then again, my first job out of college they tried to make us shed Confluence for...SharePoint...for our internal docs/knowledge. I still shudder when I think about that.

Especially compared to the whale that is Jira. From a dev perspective I think Trello was pretty much perfect for managing projects, but I think PMs and managers really like the...features...in Jira.

I did say "Social security is bad enough, please don't expand it."

Luckily, most Americans have pensions outside Social Security, so you won't end up in a situation where nobody has a pension if it collapsed. It would still be bad, but not as bad as if the federal government had a pension monopoly.
I really hope so. It's lost my history before but only for a minute or two and I always attributed it to my browser chugging with too many tabs open. At this point I'm just going to wait and see :/

No they haven't. Kiwifarms experience. shows that they were focusing on the right thing the whole time.
"What they should or shouldn't want" is already deeply influenced by housing policy. Cheap suburban homes which don't fully pay for their externalities are one result of this housing policy, and children grow up accustomed to this bizarro-world reality where increasingly tank-sized cars (this is—astonishingly—not even hyperbole) are the only practical means by which one can go from Point A to Point B.

Meanwhile people in Europe live in denser areas with smaller, more fuel-efficient cars or where they can do most of their commuting by foot, bike, or rail. That is the norm for people from those cultures, and so they—like us—largely choose to continue living in a world similar to that in which they grew up.

Given that one of these modes of living reliably produces a happier population and is significantly more environmentally and economically sustainable, that we're already in the business of promoting one style over another via housing policy, and that one of the core purposes of cooperative government is to find ways to promote outcomes that benefit everyone despite going against individuals' self-interest… what on earth is the problem?
Taking this point even further … at the point which user hostility starts to affect their brand in a way that costs money, they’ll stop doing it and be heralded for listening to their users.

At one point, this whole idea made me furious but now it just feels like the water around us. Unfortunate, to say the least.
Eh. How people use their property is really their own business. I might disagree. I might despair. I might even tell them it is a bad idea, but how and whether a person uses the thing they buy is not up to your neighbor ( or non-neighbor for that matter ) to decide ( within reason, you will hear complaints about practicing on electric guitar or repairing your muscle car at midnight ). It is just a bad argument to use.

My family member just bought a ridiculous gas-guzzler to drive even more ridiculous distance to their job and still manage to muster up courage to complain about gas prices to me. It is not the use ( or lack thereof ). It is the lack basic sense.

We will literally have a very minor impact even if the entire globe goes 100% renewable for everything from home heating, lighting, aircraft, cars, trucks, maritime transport and rail.

And in order to do a fraction of that (say only USA goes 100% electric) we would need to significantly scale up strip mining and dig deep into the earth.

All of that industrial activity takes more energy than wind and solar can provide. In fact, none of it is possible without natural gas, heavy fuel oil, and diesel.

How does that performance scale though? If you double the inputs you train on, do you get twice the performance? Less? More?

> A gallon of gas is 8887 grams/gallon.

That doesn’t seem right, gas is 20-30% lighter than water and water is only 8lbs~=3600 grams.
I have a brother HL-2360DW circa 2017, with a new brother large-size authentic toner cartridge. I never hooked it to the internet, never updated the firmware. And it started saying low toner even though I've put (far?) less than 250 sheets through it.

There was a way to turn off the low toner warnings, I did it, and seem to be ok, but it makes me wonder.

EDIT: wow, it sells for $449 on amazon. I paid $115 in 2017.
It’s a valid point, on the other hand average is much worse. 1 person at 1GBps makes up for huge numbers of people at 1.5Mbps vs 20 Mbps.

Not that all speeds above 20 Mbps are equal, but there are heavy diminishing returns. IMO, I would rank countries by percentage of 50+Mbps internet connections.

That comment was specifically to say how a student's union can effect societal changes unrelated to the purpose of the union, by the leaders of the union using their bully pulpit to coerce people to act. That is exactly what they said.

Woah, article is way to TL:DR too! Let me show how it is done:

A generative model is just a computer program. The program is incredibly book smart. No matter how incoherent your ramblings it will find the most likely connection between words, string them into (mostly wrong) candidate sentences with different degrees of certainty, it looks in its database where everything you said is compared to the wrong word combinations assigning scores to each and then it adds up all the points scored and it finds THE most likely correct response: "All gore invented the internet"

There, that is all there is to it.
I struggle so much with figuring out how to fit enough fruits and especially veggies into each day. Really fruit isn't an issue now that I think about it. It's nature's candy. Veggies, though I do love them, are harder to get enough of EVERY day.

As an athlete and lifter, do you think smoothies destroy a lot of the benefit of veggies? Say I want to make a smoothie each day that is packed with spinach and broccoli and carrots. I have to clearly pulverize the crap out of that to get it drinkable. I love the idea of that, because I can get a fair amount of veggies in a smoothie... But I've heard some say that doing this can destroy a lot of the nutrients from oxidation as you blend the veggies which is also pulling oxygen into the whirlpool created by blending. Not sure if that makes sense.

Aside from making a really veggie packed smoothie each day, I struggle with how to fit all the veggies into each days diet?

I do eat a good amount of oatmeal in general... Try to have some fruit and veg every day. Very little red meat. Any pointers you could offer in general are appreciated and I'm sure others here would appreciate the extra information as well!
oof, getting scolded is rough. Got it.
Using power to tax to directly compete with private investments is a slippery slope and rightly deserves a day in court.
First, I think there are two kinds of marketing:

1. "Brute-force" marketing: hit everyone in a wide area with your message, without much consideration for the target audience. The focus is on you and your product/service. 99% of marketing is done this way.

2. "Precision" marketing: acute focus on the target audience with a deep understanding of their desires, needs, and fears. Don't waste time/resources hitting people not interested in your product/service. I think this is more effective, but it is also much more difficult and requires more effort. Thus this type of marketing is much less common.

There are times when brute force marketing is enough. Everyone is already familiar with Coke, so they just need to remind people Coke tastes good.

However people usually find brute force marketing annoying. And if people don't know/trust your product/service already, it will probably be far less effective.

---

Here are some of the best resources to learn precision marketing:

- https://www.consulting.com/ teaches precision marketing in the most "scientific," engineering-like way. However it's also very wordy and could be edited down to about 20% of its actual length.

- https://expertsecrets.com/ is like the greatest hits collection of effective (precision) marketing techniques. Short and well-written, too.

- Gary Halbert was probably the first person to publish and teach precision marketing to a larger, more general audience. Here's his HOWTO: https://www.thegaryhalbertletter.com/newsletters/zfkj_hands_...

Note: I coined the terms "precision marketing" and "brute-force marketing." I needed a way to differentiate the marketing I wanted to use/learn/teach vs. the marketing most people are familiar with. It's also more commonly called "direct response" marketing.
I think one big difference between learning marketing vs learning software engineering is the lack of a feedback loop when you start out.

If you want to learn marketing properly, it's worth thinking of marketing tactics and marketing strategy as two different things.
- Marketing tactics are things like, running ads, writing content for SEO. Comparable to writing code day to day.
- Marketing strategy is the high level application of research and marketing science. Comparable to system design.

If you jump straight into tactics, growth hacking, posting on social media etc, you might learn how do some things, but you won't know why things work, and you won't know why generic tactics you read about on line maybe aren't working in your scenario. This is in the same way that you can learn to code online, but if you're only ever copy pasting from tutorials and stack overflow, you're going to get messed up with N+1 queries.

I would suggest getting a base level of understanding the core marketing science that exists. For this I would suggest reading anything from the Ehrenberg Bass Institute. In particular the book How Brands Grow, it's a bit dry, but very approachable.

Even after everything I've seen before I still find Musk's casual cruelty shocking. Halli didn't say he was a good employee deserving of staying, he just asked if he was fired and politely answered Musk's questions. For no apparent reason Musk treats him like he's a joke and not a real person. And that continues even after Musk understands he is disabled.
