The frequency shift that you mention reduces the efficiency by a factor equal with the ratio of the frequencies.

When making green light out of blue light the efficiency cannot exceed about 83% and when making red light out of blue light the efficiency cannot exceed about 70%.

Real efficiencies of the fluorescent conversion are much less.

Moreover, there is no hard limit for improving the efficiency of an incandescent light emitter with better infrared filters and better thermal insulation.

Therefore, when the comparison is made for a great enough frequency bandwidth, the efficiency of an incandescent light emitter coupled with a lossless optical filter should be able to exceed even the efficiency of a LED without fluorescent phosphor.

The best colored LEDs can reach an efficiency of 70%, but only at very low output power densities. When the output power density is increased, to reduce the cost of a LED lamp by using a smaller LED, the efficiency drops a lot, to levels that should not be hard to exceed with a filtered incandescent lamp.

The LEDs and the laser diodes are unbeatable in efficiency when it is desired to produce light within a narrow frequency band, which is not the case for lighting applications.
Form factor and mobile devices aside (there are already plenty of good comments on that), I simply don't see any eligible programming language for this. I.e, something that can be learned in an afternoon or two, a single loop construct, simple variable management etc. Much like JavaScript used to be in the 1990s (up to including ES3.) Modern languages are just too much tailored towards software engineering, IDEs and static analysis, have multiple redundant layers of syntax and semantic sugar, and, even if you have managed this, the core language takes you nowhere as the meat is in APIs and/or frameworks. In other words, we may need a simple language that is more on the art than on the engineering side of programming, in order to be accessible for fun activities and exploration.

>It could be that “the type of baseball being played now isn’t as popular” it could be “the sport of baseball isn’t as popular with today’s demographics” or simply “other sports have eaten baseball’s lunch” but as the stat nerds love to say, we have no idea

Given that more than 40,000,000 people attended an MLB game in person[0] last season and millions more attended minor league[1] games (not to mention the independent leagues), I think reports of baseball's imminent doom are greatly exaggerated.

It is true that TV viewership of MLB games has dropped significantly[2], but that's more a function of cord cutting rather than lack of interest, IMHO.

And there are big problems[3] with broadcasting/streaming MLB games.

There is MLB.tv, but most teams force MLB.tv to black out games played by area, (e.g. NY Yankee games are unavailable on that streaming service in the NY Metro area, etc.), as they get most of their revenue from media deals and that cuts into the teams' profits.

In fact, I've resisted cutting the cord (and it pisses me off to no end!) because I can't even pay to see my team on a streaming service. 130 (of 162 per season) of their games are only on local cable in my area.

I'd happily pay $200 a season to stream all my team's games -- and end up saving money by cutting the cord.

You chose to shut down perfectly working nuclear reactors and keep burning coal. You COULD and SHOULD have replaced coal with nuclear.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertbryce/2022/10/28/the-iron...
Currently mostly coal (mostly lignite) with a little imported LNG for base load and peaks. Wind and solar if available. Rest is imported nuclear, coal and other power from neighboring countries.

Longer term, a switch to 100% renewables is planned, which is supposed to take 20 years. However, plans are coming along too slowly, especially regarding storage and transmission lines. But also necessary ramp-up of wind and solar installations is extremely lacking. Meanwhile power prices are at an all-time high and no betterment in sight. Meanwhile a switch to mostly-electric transportation, green steel smelting, green concrete production, and mostly electric heating should happen, which will roughly triple electricity consumption overall.

So I guess we'll wait and see, most probably more of the imported whatever-we-can-get at stellar prices.
Ah, I thought it might be something to do with Judea Pearl.

>> Hume was WRONG. Very wrong.

Oh boy :)

I can see what you're saying about having bodies, but bodies are very limited things and that's just making Hume's point. We can only know so much by experiencing it with our bodies. We've learned a lot more about the world, and its foundations, thanks to our ability to draw inferences without having to engage our bodies. For example, all of mathematics, including logic that studies inference, is "things we do without having to engage our bodies". And those very things have shown us the limits of our own abilities, or at least our ability to create formal systems that can describe the world in its entirety. They have shown us the limits of our ability for inductive inference (and in a very concrete manner - see Mark E. Gold's Language Identification in the Limit).

Machine learning systems are more limited than ourselves, that's right. And that's because we have created them, and we are limited beings that cannot know the entirety of the world just by looking at it, or reasoning about it.

What I’ve found is people who use low code tools are more willing to lower their expectations to the capabilities of the tool. This is in comparison to your typical customer of bespoke software development who has a long laundry list of requirements that they’ve imagined up based on their

High resources * high demands is probably only the dream of single young newgrads or people without family or other such obligations and want to focus on climbing the ladder and "making it" in the industry.

The only saving grace is the relatively short expiration of twenty years. if it was seventy years after the author's death progress would grind to a halt.

IP expiration dates are a "brain plasticity" parameter in society. Higher values mean lower rates of change, too low values mean too high rates of change. Twenty years is a sweet spot.

IMHO, this is not what is wrong with the system in the US. The problem is that the consumer of healthcare is doubly removed from the price.

Hard disagree on stat people coming for cricket, you pretty much have a third agent in the game (the pitch).

How do you enter the matrix transpose in this tool?

In an example they use X' for transpose and it works.

But if I try A' * A, it either becomes just A * A, or it shows nothing and says " This 4th order tensor cannot be displayed as a matrix. See the documentation section for more details."

The documentation also doesn't show how to enter the transpose operator.
Bunny.net CDN routing for GDPR compliance
Happy to see that. Just some time ago had to create support ticket to obtain something similar as a custom configuration.

Only thing they could have added, and it seems they did not, is to include PoPs from countries outside EU that do have adequacy decisions in place - meaning they are equal to EU (European Economic Area to be more precise) in terms of GDPR international data transfers and the issue of compliance.
Cheers to Nilay for pressing him for a real answer and not letting him shrug off the Q. If we’re gonna spend time letting these CEOs shill their platforms let’s make them answer the hard Qs.
It is incredible in some teams how difficult it can seem to be to get from "we need a 1-page website" to "ok, it's online and you can update it simply without any more of my help. Here"

And with the difficulty going up, the likelihood that you'll do this when it's needed and makes sense to do goes down. I can't tell you how many times I said "I need a website" and didn't end up posting one, because we didn't have a ready answer to this question, and nobody could be bothered to go out and build one.

Just a simple one page website. I can think of at least three "easy" ways to do it (and that's my whole problem in a nutshell, thanks for coming to my TED talk.)
You can still visit the nuclear power plants that were built but never switched on

I've seen the youth doing this nowadays.

But just watching it causes severe physical pain in me. Everything is awkward, and painful slow. In the time you would have written a page of code on a desktop in an IDE you hardly manage to write a few lines of working code on a phone. Alone the fact that you can't use keyboard shortcuts efficiently is more than crippling! Not to mention the extremely tiny screen on a phone. On a desktop you have for serous work 2, or better 3 screens (or some big wide one), for a reason.

And regarding deep thinking: The best setting for that is imho not the desktop, nor the bed. Best for thinking is actually walking around, while not being distracted by anything else.

I believe on my 7-8 year old vehicle, the fancy NAV system with larger touch screen was a $700 option. It is, of course, almost completely useless. I don't want to go through its hokey menu system to enter an address or attempt to use its horrendous voice assistant. Even when new I probably only used this once or twice since the iPhone ~4 was so much better at the time.

A UI that is an extension of the phone makes the most sense.

I like that this challenges yet another assumption we (in the west) make about human and human-related attributes. Another favorite of mine is the assumption that a person's first name is their given name. It's not uncommon to encounter such in large multinational organizations, and becomes a constant source of amusement to watch people mangle names further to conform to prejudices.

Sounds fun
> in the neighbouring Austria, nuclear power is prohibited

Which is funny, because we actually built a pretty much complete nuclear power plant, Zwentendorf. It‘s now a unique museum.

A vote of just 50.47 % ruined our radiant future...

Also we do have one research reactor left right in the city. I was blessed enough to visit it once.

Nuclear waste doesn’t cause climate change and it doesn’t go anywhere - this is not an urgent problem.
>Actually not every way though.. nuclear waste has to go somewhere.

I don't understand your argument; of course waste must go somewhere. Nuclear power, with its waste, is still cleaner than fossil fuels in every way.
Yes, if only. I continually hear that much olive is not what it is supposed to be and it seems that authorities empowered to do something about this don't do much to stop it or perhaps they're fighting an uphill battle. In general the higher the price, the more likely the product is 100% genuine. The logic here might be that there's not that much profit in adulterating pricey oil selling rather limited quantities.

You thought you chose renewables. You actually chose coal, LNG, and buying power from France.
It's amazing how casual the weirdest things are in dreams. For example my wife had a dream where an old women was sitting on stairs, she folded herself, became a hand, which climbed the stairs and disappeared. And it was OK but just weird enough to remember.

2 of the 3 currently governing parties made up the coalition that first decided to end nuclear back in 2001. The later conservative Merkel government just first extended reactor life-times just to go back on its word and shorten them again when Fukushima happened.

But all the big parties and their politicians had a hand in the current desaster, people are quit right to blame all the last 25 years' governments.
Unfortunately money doesn't grow on trees and working in high paying industries - like tech - can warp your sense of reality.

The vast majority of people cannot afford to take such extended period of time off simply due to financial barriers.

Wondering if people are _actually_ burnt out simply because they have access to much less money than you is a rather arrogant viewpoint. Poor people get sick too.
I think you could make a very, very compelling case that the process of making coffee is, for many people (especially those really into it), an important ritual which has a lot of significance beyond the specific output. Look at the discourse around the James Hoffman AeroPress saga and tell me that shit isn't insanely ritualized.

Nothing religious or spiritual (usually), but you get a lot of time/structure/cycle/morning/sleep/work semiology out of the coffee ritual. In fact, this is so true that coffee as a beverage has adopted significant phenomenological value external to its utility due to cultural osmosis - we have very strong associations between coffee and a variety of abstract qualities: work, awakeness, sleep deprivation, productivity, etc. And, these qualities are quite different between cultures even if the actual raw output/process of production are pretty much the same for many.
The entire concept of the "Energiewende" was implemented without putting the right constraints in place. The conservatives later fumbled it instead of adding the right changes.

What happened is that the subsidies for renewable energy in Germany mostly led to a buildup of a huge photovoltaic industry in China after an initial goldrush in Europe. When they changed the incentive scheme, the German photovoltaic industry crumbled and the chinese one was kept afloat with local subsidies.

For a while, the equipment suppliers in Europe still profited from the boom in China, but where eventually replaced by Chinese ones. In effect, now both the photovoltaic industry and the equipment industry in Europe largely disappeared.

And to add insult to injury, China is considering to limit photovoltaic exports (potentially as a means to counter the semiconductor sacntions):

A good example here is YouTube, which started recommending me a bunch of really short (5-second) meme videos lately which I really don’t want polluting my feed. Even if I really want to click and watch them just out of dumb curiousity… (I don’t go to youtube for 5 second meme videos, I prefer longer form content.)

I spent some time disliking every 5-second video being recommended to me, and the problem went away. It was easy.
Why should the US get to decide what to do with other countries' IP? China has the same attitude and it is generally frowned upon.
The cost of “going green” is the delta between the cost of green power and the cost of providing electricity without going green. That’s nowhere close to 500B by 2025.
I have an annoyance reflex when people talk about things like "the derivative of a matrix". A matrix is a notational concept, not an object in itself. It makes as much sense to me as saying the derivative of a set, or the derivative of an array (i.e. as opposed to a vector).

It should be derivatives "with" matrices, not "of", in my mind.

Not that it matters in practice, but ... if there's one field where precision of language matters, it should have been mathematics. So it bothers me.

I dont think it is anything about Smartphone. It is about the software / technology today, or Abstractions.

In the 80s and 90s. One could still have a very high level understanding of every single part of the computer. From Hardware to Software. The whole stack.

We now have a whole generation of programmers who dont understand a thing about Hardware. Not even enthusiast level. Nor do they understand anything beyond their domain within Software.

The bar is also a lot higher, when basic graphics and UI luxury and command line is still acceptable. You could quickly make a script to do something you want.

And then there is a whole generation of I would argue needless complexity added on top of complexity. Take Web development for example. CGI or PHP used to be Simple. It wasn't easy, but it was simple. I dont know where to begin to describe in today's web dev.

Fossil fuel waste goes straight into the atmosphere is and is killing millions of people through climate change and respiratory diseases. And not forgetting slag piles and other fossil fuel waste (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberfan_disaster).

What's Fresh in Databend v1.1
I’m working on research for a journal article on this right now. Basically, get a bunch of videos you want compressed, use an auto encoder and just store the very small latent space variables instead of the video. Keep the decoder sitting around that was trained on those videos, and badaboom you can take a 512x512 movie and store it in 16x16x3 or another similarly sized latent space. However, this only works for fairly consistent video. Right now it works best for constantly monitoring video systems of physical phenomena. I.e. if you have multiple cameras pointed at the ocean to watch waves, you’re going to end up training a latent space that describes the wave physics. These small latent spaces are also the key to removing the black box. You can grab the latent spaces and connect the fields to physical quantities. For example, the wave reconstruction latent space has examples of velocity or wave height (variables needed to mathematically construct a wave field). Cool stuff!
> But voters have a short term memory and will blame it all on the current administration.

Which for some countries means blaming the greens in the current government even though they were absent from previous governments from the last 15 years.
Because it's out of character. On Steam there are practically no restrictions whatsoever on what you can say in reviews. Even completely irrelevant, off topic, risque, or meme spam reviews are perfectly kosher. A reasonable and relevant review being removed makes 0 sense, and is not something Steam would ever do. So it's obviously somebody who's working for them, that shouldn't be.

Of course I do agree with you on accountability. Companies should not use volunteers for remotely relevant positions. If they do, and those volunteers screw up, it's on them.
You explained this very well with the point that the model necessarily has that "blatant" novelty in order to be useful as more than a quote engine in the first place.

That's a good way to explain the bias too. You can see it now if you ask about Michael Levins work which is spreading now in biology but somewhat still outweighted by older views on formation of the organs during growth, and the extent of possibilities with bioelectric/genetic engineering (e.g. two headed animals). The models often don't even consider or accept that the research Levin reported would be even possible (other times, they can, but I think it serves as a good warning light that this bias can dangerously act as a permanent anchor).
