"was anyone expecting a Tsunami to suddenly manifest over Bavaria?"

No, the thinking or sentiment was, see, even high tech japan cannot securly operate nuclear plants(they know they have earthquakes and tsunamis), so there are surley things we overlooked as well. So nuclear is not totally safe.

And there are a few things, as far as I know. For example the plants were not build taking into account, terrorists crashing a plane into them.
one argument that was repeated over and over by pro fission folks was that an accident like chernobyl could not happen in a "good" country like france, german or japan.
seening how one of the most technologicaly advanced countries suffered a contaminating incident that is comparable on scale with chernobyl was a shock to most germans and blew the mentioned agument away.
if you were old enough to remember not being allowed to go outside as a child, to see your playgrounds demolished and the sand exchanged, you may be thinking differently about it.
for decades it wasnt safe to collect mushrooms in the woods, something germans are or better were quite fond of. i am honestly not sure if its even safe today.
nuclear may be safe for the most part but when it goes wrong it goes wrong in such a dramatic way that it is traumatizing.
GPT-3.5. People keep telling me GPT-4 is so much better, but I don't know where I can access it for free and I'm not interested in paying for it.

But if anyone wants to give it to me for free, I would happily make a $1000 bet that I can get GPT-4 to make the same mistake.
An Introduction to Generative AI
It happened to me some time ago but a bit different: I made an anagram with my last name + first name and then I tried to create several online accounts with it. I was registering a discord account but turns out part of one word in the anagram had an offensive term from the 50s that I wasn't aware of and btw it was discriminatory of my own race! so I felt bad for having an outdated kind of racist new mail address.
Do they train on your code that they read for context? Do they retain the code snippets you generate? Can't find any mention in regards to privacy in their copy.
What is this magical role that Germany supposedly has in the ECB?

Name the struggling country that was supposedly put in a debt agreement. Is this Greece? Did Greece not _choose_ in a popular vote to remain in the Eurozone? Did they not enter the Eurozone by using fraudulent accounting in the first place? Let us know what Germany then supposedly did exactly during that crisis.

Regarding coal your argument makes zero sense. Either nuclear is cheaper and could cover all needs, then it doesn't matter how much coal there is, it could be left alone. Or it isn't, then there is no need to shut down nuclear to expand coal.

In reality German coal mining has not been economical for decades and has been heavily subsidised to safe some jobs. The German policy is to change everything to renewables and to phase out coal until 2030.

heh elementary school principals get high in the parking lot before school (at least they do in Dallas public schools). You're not dealing with the best people in public education.
Yep, fair enough, if it's a strict definition. You could potentially then have weird edge cases in the other direction, though; if the same sex chromosome layout in related species X and Y leads to different sexes due to the size of the gametes (especially if the size of the gametes was pretty similar to start with), that seems very odd/confusing.

> So on one hand Google doesn't innovate anymore and is too shy to release anything new

From everything I've read here, the problem is that only innovation is rewarded with promotions. Once a product is released, the people in charge get promoted, and move on to another new project, leaving everything to die.
My point is that MS’s investment in OpenAI may be a good deal for MS regardless of what happens to the valuation of OpenAI-the-company.

The LLM space is moving fast. OpenAI may stay on top for a long time, or it may not. But I expect Microsoft’s use of LLMs to be valuable for MS and likely market-leading in the office AI space for quite some time regardless of what happens to OpenAI.
30+ years ago my parents washing machine broke, my dad got his hands on a replacement control module thingy which was an electro mechanical cylinder that had the selection knob on the outside. The inside had 30+ wires (memory may be exaggerating) and he tasked me with labeling them, removing the push fit connectors and connecting them to the new controller. I don't think my 13 year old self ever felt such pressure but it was a great sense of achievement when it worked.
This will impact copilot pricing. I will be keeping my copilot subscription (since it is pretty cheap), but I hope and expect there to be some good competition here.

With copilot being embedded in all office software in the near future, MS may as well make GH copilot free. Interesting times!
The EPA has suggested they will hold companies liable in the future. It hasn't happened yet, but they are hinting. If it is just one hobbyist they don't care, but there is a whole industry of chip your diesel truck and those chips clearly increase pollution. A modern diesel truck doesn't emit black smoke, but a large % of the diesel trucks you see are "rolling coal" which is a sure sign that someone has disabled the emissions controls.
Much of this "sex in nature is super complicated, actually" content is driven by the push for gender ideology in humans.

Landsburg is a famous economist with an "unusual" interpretation.

This would be fascinating to explore outside the context of the culture war. To what extent is a penguin's social role learnt from other penguins vs biological? Do penguins raised in isolation or in small groups show more divergent sex-correlated behaviour than those raised in large groups? Would that mean they align behaviour based on what other penguins do?

It would be interesting if male birds learnt how to put on more successful mate displays by watching other males, or if birds set their standards by those of the opposite sex they grew up around. Humans obviously do this, and I wouldn't be surprised if other primates did too, but which other animals might?

Why not try doing the exercises in Janet? It gives you the end-product goal so you don't have to waste energy on ideation, but having to figure out syntactic differences and compatible standard library functions and macros yourself really helps you understand a language top-to-bottom and is arguably the best way to learn. The way I learn languages all the time is to translate exercises on sites like HackerRank or exercism along with toy projects I already have.
These decisions were taken years before the conflict in Ukraine, and German energy policy at the time was largely predicated on Russian imports. Hence, peace and stability in Europe seems to have been an underlying assumption rather than something that was being hedged against.
I don't know about German law, but this sounds like a situation of mandatory joinder where Github and YouTube should have been indispensable parties.

Politicians are accountable by voters and voters object to have nuclear waste stored near their homes. Even those who don't think it's a problem and believe the scientists who say "this will never be a problem" (and they don't exactly say that, do they?) know that their property values will suffer.

Putting coal as the alternative to nuclear power is not just a mistake, it's an entirely dishonest argument trying to fool people.
Is that not due to the specific regime regardless of the political ideology? Communism doesn't inherently include brutal totalitarian autocrats? we've certainly seen them under other systems as well.
Expecting python3 to be available as 'python' means that _your_ install is broken (until the time when python3 re-implements all the syntax and semantics and stdlib of Python 2.7 so that code may run unmodified).
I’m confused. Isn’t that what happens? Some portion goes to operating the phone and the rest to charging the battery? How does it work differently?

It doesn’t hook into the same charging system the phone uses for normal? Is that special for MagSafe? I don’t really understand how it’s different and can’t find anything online to read more about this.
It should be, but right to repair is mostly not about diagnosis and repair. Instead you are seeing a bait and switch where someone wants to disable emissions controls and claims that is a repair.

What can a mechanic not do to a modern car with the standard scan tools and training? Most old school mechanics still lack the training to work on computers, but those that have that training have no problem fixing cars.
I never wrote that I was "confident" about it.

I fly paragliders for fun, but that doesn't compare at all in excitement to starting an engine where I just changed the timing belt.

I watched more than a few hours of video to do that. But it was possible to do with the help of YT videos and VW's official workshop manuals that you can buy and download from their erWin website.

I started from absolutely zero.

I've replaced the timing belt, water pump, alternator, brake fluid, master brake cylinder, removed and cleaned the air throttle body, flushed the coolant system, replaced the radiator, replaced the shocks, replaced the exhaust, removed the turbo and replaced the waste gate, used OBDS CAN software to troubleshoot sensor issues, etc.

It was a gradual process over several years. It was a lot easier since most of it was on my second car that I could just leave in its garage while I got parts or tools or watched another 10 hours of YT videos. But some of the stuff was on the curb.

If you're a software engineer and get paid by the hour, it's absolutely not worth your time if you just look at the money.

But it can be a fun hobby, and I really like knowing how the car works when it's starting to make weird noises on long distance vacation trips. Just know that it's not that hard in theory, but in practice the wrong bolt will shear off just as you have to put things back together and drive off with the car. So always have a plan B, especially if it's your daily driver and you can't just leave it for a week or two.

Having said all that, if you're interested in cars, then this video course is excellent. I paid for it a couple of years ago, and don't regret it.

So, reading my original comment and you response again, I can see how my comment came across as "it's easy to replace the timing belt, just watch a few YT videos". I agree that that's definitely not the case.
It seems to be worth saying, considering the climate. Recently I was a teacher assistant in a genetics lab, and an undergrad student lodged a complaint against the professor for talking about some of this very same stuff, ie, biological determinants of sex. But the prof was quite oblivious with no idea about the current culture wars.
The case which ruled they couldn't use the law to bar publication of classified documents? I'm not sure if that's relevant when charging an individual. The government certainly doesn't think so, hence the ongoing indictment against Assange.
It's Amazon so assume that they do unless it's extremely clearly stated that they don't. And even then...
Fark.com was hilariously bad at this in its heyday because it would also cover spaced words or reversed words. So you'd get "it's a bit chilly out" turned into "it's a biatchilly out".
Hi everyone!

I am back for day 4 of Livebook's Launch Week. This time we use Livebook to build a Whisper chat app - where you can only talk via audio transcriptions - and deploy it to Hugging Face. All done with Elixir!

You can give the deployed application a try here: https://huggingface.co/spaces/josevalim/livebook - and then click on "Whisper chat" on the right. Audio messages are concurrently handled and batched within the same instance before being handled by the GPU. I guess we will soon find out if a Nvidia T4 is enough. :)

Have fun and I am glad to answer questions once more.

LFP batteries are becoming much more common in EVs, mostly due to lower cost. They are a bit lower performance than NMC and NCA cells, but cheaper - and they don't use cobalt.

EDIT: for example Tesla Model 3 Standard Range uses LFP chemistry.
Very cool, this looks like a great list of projects. I like that it's not a bunch of well-known and big names. It looks like stuff that is just getting traction and having a push with dedicated time to maintain could be a huge benefit for them.
20 years this October. Weird stuff
It is at this point, I believe, that it is entirely worth reminding ourselves that humans are, in fact, animals.
“Animals don’t have socially defined gender.” Perhaps, but they can definitely have have socially defined sex. Clownfish live in hierarchical units. The dominant fish is an aggressive female. When she dies, the next dominant male will change sex and assume the role. If that isn’t social I don’t know what is. (And that’s one example there are at least a dozen species of fish that can change sex due to external factors.)
The article brings it up quite early on.

It's introduction and parallel with sex means the article makes a wider point about a difference between sex and gender. I agree this article could have been written better without any mention of gender so as to avoid making an out of scope claim in a pop sci article.
This is like those LeetCode questions in job interviews, or the interviewer wants a complicated O(n) solution when the problem as stated would be better solved with a simple O(n^2) solution because the maximum problem size is tiny.

I went to a "tech school" to learn computers while in High School in the 90's. The tech school also had classes for 'the trades', it was set up to prepare Michigan kids for careers (Careerline Tech IIRC).

Anyway. A big part of that class was learning to clean, repair, and manage printers. Again, it was the 90's, and we were high school kids. We came out quite capable with many computer skills but the printer stuff really stuck with me. I've done technical support throughout the years and have setup hundreds of printers.

The printers of today are awful landfill fodder compared to the Okidata's of the 90's. Pure simplicity and speed vs FULL COMPUTERS, with scanning, faxing, and every other imaginable feature crammed in with zero hope of doing anything other than replacing the toner.

Fukushima was another reminder that you don't know what you don't know. And with nuclear power, if you don't know something, a whole chunk of your country needs to get evacuated and cleaned up at a stupendous cost.
This seems like a weak attempt from Amazon to catch up with generative AI hype. No information at all about the model or performance.
Minimalist is a matter of taste. But when it's obvious it's done for cost cutting and not even done well it's a problem. Tesla QC and functional design is quite frankly terrible.
While their entry level car (Atto) is the same price as the cheapest spec Tesla model 3. Their Tesla model S and X equivalents (Han and Tang, respectively) start at almost half the price of the respective Teslas.

On the whole BYD don't seem to be wanting to compete at the bottom end of the market and are pricing their cars around the same level of their 'competitors'. They don't want to offer the cheapest electric SUV or even best the 'cheap' SUV, they want to offer best $80k electric SUV.
I don't think the current setup is notably different from what you're proposing.

The phone does use the MagSafe battery first, it just uses it through the internal battery, but that is just a matter of semantics. It shouldn't have a notable impact on battery health.
> Note that nuclear plants only contributed to about 5% of all the electrical power in Germany.

And how much of that is coal?

Nuclear power plants provides stable power regardless of weather, wind and climate, and serves as a necessary baseline which can be complimented by renewables.

Eliminating this without having any replacement, any stable baseline power is knowingly making the power-grid and power-supply of your nation unstable. In lack of better words, I would call it malicious.
Any idea why this is the order?
The problem isn't that a city is called asshole-opon-tyne which would be worth changing. It's "Scunthorpe". You can't rename everything that happens to have a subset of the letters in a long word form any of 100 short "offensive" words like ass, butt or cunt. Even when censoring it could make it even worse, most famously the game that censored the player Nasser into N***er.

That shows another part of the problem: the list of offensive words must be multiplied by the number of languages in existence and the number of input terms that risk matching as well.
yup, though that means you're wasting that core's compute; something with green threads where language runtime does a cross-core interrupt to submit syscall then continues execing other green threads until it gets a user interrupt for syscall completion would be pretty neat.

(ETA: and indeed looks like they're considering support for that in io_uring! https://lwn.net/Articles/869140/)
So it was poorly thought out or poorly designed all this time, then they fixed the obvious errors? That was my impression after reading the article...
Stadia is a big deal. And OnHub must really suck if you have it as your router.

I think it’s probably 90% blogspam and reinforces that anyone sane should very carefully evaluate whether they rely on anything google releases.

Personally, I’ve looked at google phones and networking and home stuff and won’t touch it with a ten foot pole because I don’t want to switch out my router because google decides to kill it.

I like the ability to hand someone a tip without accessing the Internet. At the same time, I think the Bitcoin Lightning Network is pretty cool. I guess I like options.
The reason gender roles have evolved differently can be attributed to the costs associated with reproduction for each sex. In our species, females tend to bear significantly higher reproductive costs than males. For example, men have the ability to father multiple offspring simultaneously, whereas women must devote substantial time and energy to pregnancy and childbirth.

These disparities in reproductive investment have contributed to the development of distinct gender roles over time.
