Yes, it's a minimal baseline that can be cheaply provided, that still preserves 90% of the dignity of human beings, their health, safety and ability to work, without unduly burdening other taxpayers.

Drivered cars are causing the majority of the clog. I don't see more of a problem with driverless cars. Externalities are already taxed in the form of gas tax, but if they want to target electric vehicles as well, they can make every road a toll (with today's cameras it's not hard to do, without even requiring drivers to stop and pay).

They were considered, I was on the team that considered them. (I work at Culture Amp and at one point was leading the Design System team).

To be clear: embedding Elm in React is easy (we host the main NPM library for doing so: https://github.com/cultureamp/react-elm-components). But embedding React in Elm is harder, as Elm doesn't give any easy "escape hatches" to interact with native JS code.

The main opportunity is to use Web Components. Elm knows how to render any HTML component, including `x-my-custom-button`, which could render using React or something else. We looked into options for this, including prototyping https://www.npmjs.com/package/backstitch as a way to embed our React components as Web Components for consumption in Elm. (No open source packages existed to do this at the time).

We also did quite a deep dive on using Stencil, which has a React-like API, to create web components for both React and Elm - even including publishing new plugins for the ecosystem to generate Elm bindings for your web components. Kevin went into some of the detail for this in the post if you're interested.
I guess you are talking about Kárahnjúkar Hydropower Plant.

Did you read the book <<Draumalandið — Sjálfshjálparbók handa hræddri þjóð>> or watch the documentary <<Draumalandið>>? Me: Neither, but I am interested. I only learned about this project recently.

The most shocking fact about the whole project (from Wiki):

The total affected area according to the environmental impact assessment, outlines that a total of 3,000 km2 or 741,316 acres were affected by the project's construction. That is approximately 3% of Iceland's total land mass.
So, the guardian should have suppressed these facts in an act of non-propaganda?

It's really difficult to understand what is going on with this politician's heat pump though because we are lacking a lot of basic information. A high quality minisplit system should top out at a COP of over 3.5 and be above 2 down to single digit F temperatures. E.g., https://www.mitsubishitechinfo.ca/sites/default/files/SB_PVA... has a COP of 2.17 at 5F. It seems like there is more to the story. A small duct/high velocity system could perform that poorly, but without the details it's just hard to tell. Most folks with normal ducting or ductless heat pump systems should realize much better efficiency than this guy is getting.
I am a tournament Scrabble player and the state of the art for studying words is spaced repetition. You quiz on "alphagrams", like ABEISTT, and after a few times you just see BATISTE BISTATE. There are at least 80K words between 2 and 8 letters long though, so it does take many hundreds or thousands of hours to learn them all well. I have very poor studying discipline so I have my own methods of studying that don't use spaced repetition, instead I just study all the words periodically and focus on the harder ones. But I don't know them as well, and for the words I did spaced repetition on more than 15 years ago I can still recall those immediately.

I have definitely wasted lots of time creating and reviewing cards for words that I never see again (the long tail) or don't strictly need to know. But the feeling of coming across a word that you learned and -knowing- it is amazing. It also helps if you enjoy the process of creating and reviewing cards - tending to your knowledge garden, so to speak.
Spring Skincare Tips: Is the dry, flaky skin on your face bothering you?
Internally, we don't use docker in our Remote Execution service implementation and the linux workers use cgroups to isolate whereas the macOS and Windows story is still being worked on.

IIUC, the publicly available Remote Execution services out there are specified by docker, so we chose to have OSS buck2 align to that.

As noted, local mode doesn't do anything else at this point, but we've discussed exactly this to help developers identify dependency declarations earlier.
Isn't a full sleep study test pretty expensive in the US?

This is great advice. I also try to make incremental gains in projects as it is the one way I’ve experienced consistent progress. This includes things like learning handstands as a project. A little bit of forward progress is better than no progress. I’ve heard it said it’s like putting pennies (or similar currency) into a savings account. It never seems like much but over time it adds up. The hardest thing for me was recognizing the value in those pennies. Ego, insecurity, etc want the big cathartic jump in progress.
Sleep apnea is strange.

Good news! We have a diagnosis, sleep apnea. You're bad at sleeping now, the thing everybody has to do all night long every day since birth. The solution is to wear a modern iron lung whenever you want or need to sleep forever. Many times it's because people are overweight but you aren't.

Is that really all there is for treatment? No throat exercises or therapeutic sleeping positions? No diets? No botox injections for your uvula or a daily pill to obviate breathing while sleeping?

The Pornography Paradox
In an inflationary environment, prices exceed the ability of people to pay and dollar velocity falls which puts downward pressure on prices. At least that sometimes happens. Other times, governments, banks, megacorps and other institutions turn on the liquidity and people just start using a million of the local currency unit to buy bread. Which way things go today will depend upon whether or not the Federal Reserve and the US govt find a way for the govt to avoid a sovereign debt crisis.

The use of "hacking" in the title is unfortunate, since it strongly brings to mind software engineers confidently loading up on weird supplements to do stuff like "boost intelligence" without much understanding of what they're doing.

This article is very much not that, and is very sensible.
"They" being the Federal Reserve, who's mandate is to balance unemployment and inflation. So yes, Cars, homes and everything else in the Fed's basket of goods needs to stop going up by 6%/mo. The Fed is limited in their toolset, so in order to do that they can raise the federal funds rate basically causing any loans given to have a minimum APR (Why lend to Jack for 5%, when Uncle Sam will give you 6%). So if you're taking out a loan, your payments are going to be more expensive. Thats going to nuke lower return investments and make borrowing to grow your business harder.

We may be getting to the point where we can directly predict the quality, interestingness, and originality of a comment before it has a chance to receive viewer feedback. This would be similar to how we can now rank historical chess players according to how chess bots evaluate their moves. A forum could then start comments off where it approximates their rank will end up, and then potentially let viewer feedback take over from there.

What's more: if you can't stop bots from dominating your signal, then directly predicting things like quality may be one of the only good options left.

That should happen anyway since the transport capacity between the hydropower-rich north and the power-hungry south and west is not sufficient and there do not seem to be plans to change this situation markedly - possibly because the state (in the form of Svenska Kraftnät [2]) makes a pretty penny on the "flaskhalsavgifter" [1]. They can start by correcting the mistakes made by the previous governments in closing half of the available nuclear power generation capability, repeal the law which states that no new nuclear facilities can be built in locations other than those where one already exists and get serious in establishing new locations close to where the power is needed, preferably chosen so that waste heat can be used as well.

I dare not say much, but I will say that Andrew does not like to be told he is wrong.

He told me off when he claimed (on IRC) that you couldn't easily write good hash maps in C, but you could in Zig, and I sent him a link to hash maps I had written in C. Then he proceeded to tell me to stop bothering him.

When I started taking apart his claim that Zig does not have function colors, he got mad. Part of that was my fault; I didn't use the best language. But he still refused to acknowledge my arguments until I made a very long, mostly objective blog post about it that went viral. [1]

Then, and only then, did he somewhat acknowledge that I was right.

More fundamentally, until someone has told you that "ball" can mean "a round thing" or pointed to a ball and said that "ball" can mean that, "ball" does not have that meaning to you.

The meaning is purely extrinsic. There's nothing about a ball that makes it named that, as shown by the fact that a ball is called other things in other languages.

That's just the case for this bot, but is obviously not the case for ChatGPT.

I have a long running conversation with ChatGPT that I use to keep track of a verbal to-do list. I tell it my items with categories (e.g. work, personal, etc.) and estimated times, and then it outputs my complete task list, grouped by category. I then just tell it when I add tasks or complete tasks, and it continually keeps track of and outputs my current outstanding task list.

I've been using this for weeks now, and since it's all in a single conversation ChatGPT can keep track of the entire state over time.

I don't have access to plugins yet but it would be trivial to implement a personal AI assistant with ChatGPT if it could, for example, look up flight times and prices.
>The security is about preventing other programs from being able to capture the video and audio. Sometimes programs want the ability to output something to the user, but don't want other programs to to be able to save it or analyze it.

The big gripe of a lot of people is that what this actually means is DRM, and that functionality is not there to offer security to the end user, rather to offer security from the end user.

At a philosophical level, when the end user purchases computing hardware, this traditionally has meant that the hardware became the end user's property, and it becomes the owner's intrinsic right to use it how they want, even to misuse it -- You wouldn't buy a car that was incapable of going 16 mph in a 15 mph zone, or making a turn without the turn signal being activated, would you?

Frankly, I even get the desire for piracy. Piracy is not theft, it does not strip another person of their property. You may argue that it strips the original content creator of their royalty (plus the parasitic organization publishing the content of their 95%+ "fee"), but I'd counter by suggesting that even of the pirates who could afford to pay for such content, ~99% would not otherwise pay for that content if they weren't pirating it, so that's really a false argument - if they even would pay for it, then they'd have just paid for it, wouldn't they? Not to mention that piracy democratizes access to diverse forms of art, making it available to the poor, who have just as much a human right to appreciate art as the rest of humanity. Further, the piracy ecosystem preserves otherwise lost forms of art. I wanted to watch a 1998 German movie called "23" a couple weeks ago. Couldn't find a legitimate copy available to purchase or stream anywhere in my country, neither physical media nor digital, but TPB had multiple copies with English subs.

Besides, it's not like these security coprocessors (including Microsoft Pluton, the private-sector newcomer to the probable public-sector "security coprocessor" club) actually prevent competent folks from capturing media. They're a nuisance that raises the cost of computing hardware, ostensibly a public good in the information age, while doing effectively nothing to prevent piracy.

If even a single argument for the legitimacy of the existence of Intel CSME and AMD ST is DRM, a.k.a. "to prevent poor people from appreciating art, ensuring that countless artistic creations are lost forever, and needlessly raising the cost of a utility that borders on a public good", I can only hope that I've demonstrated the downsides of this argument.

> The Fed is limited in their toolset, so in order to do that they can raise the federal funds rate basically causing any loans given to have a minimum APR

The Fed is limited much the way a surgeon would be limited if they had to manage a tumor with a mallet.

The solution here would've been targeted taxes to extract the excess liquidity that pooled up in the economy after all the loans and grants, but with a deadlocked legislature this was not going to happen. So, mallet it was.
“An Owner’s Manual” for Google’s Shareholders (2004)
The standard explicitly disallows compiling of UB for constexpr.

Otherwise, what you write is provably correct - UB is not statically decidable in all cases (and depending on the type of UB, not even in a lot of cases).
IMHO the best approach is to avoid the problem by applying TDD. Then there is very little need to debug anything. But otherwise, there is https://github.com/mikael-s-persson/templight for compile-time debugging which is pretty cool and having something like `expect(auto... args) static_asert(args...); assert(args...);` may help with being able to debug at run-time and get the coverage (though, the code has has to compile aka pass first).

You cannot heavily quantise models and assume they didn't degrade significantly.

Overlook? I think the education market is why Apple succeeded so thoroughly.
I'm a bit confused since I thought you were talking about hooking up a wood fired furnace of some type. Putting a solid fuel boiler in line with an existing system is pretty common and doesn't have any impact on the system as a whole efficiency wise except for a tiny bit of heat lost to the length of pipe in the boiler when it's not in use but if you don't mind turning valves on and off you can avoid that with some simple plumbing. When I say boiler I'm talking about the heating part of the unit btw, the tank itself is generally separate if you have one at all.

Palm was killed by their inability to evolve the platform in the face of quantum leaps from other players -- but that same thing caught out pretty much every other mobile platform of the era.

In 2004, the Treo 650 was as good as it got. I LOVED mine, and there was really no other player in the market that could truly best it until Apple landed with the iPhone. (And I say this having sampled best-of-breed Windows Mobile stuff in that era -- the HTC hardware was slick, but WinMo was useless and incredibly dumb.)
I’m working with a maxed out M1 MacBook Pro and I can’t imagine it being obsolete any time soon. Apple might not sell me a computer for several years, but I spent far more than I would have otherwise. Assuming all goes well, I’ll probably do the same thing when I do buy again.
