Possibly true. On the other hand, I think there's something laudable about a man in his mid-70s embracing new technology and looking for the good in it.
if so, do I get a discount?
For our civilization the time to proliferate electric engines before ICEs is gone, though. I have to wonder if there's something inherit to the properties/efficiency of petroleum combustion that ensures that intelligent civilization will proliferate it first over electric engines.

It sounds like the bottleneck is lack of foresight. Our ancestors were incapable of seeing the end result of ICEs everywhere when they were first used. How is any future civilization supposed to combat this when they aren't handed the correct answer by some forebearer civilization that destroyed itself first? It feels like not only humans but all future intelligent life with access to petroleum would fall into this trap over and over again.

It's as if the only way to avoid the current scenario is to discover all the petroleum and then not touch it for the rest of time. About the only guardrail that could incentivize that behavior in my mind is the blind faith of religion.
I know this from the government, because they often have to officially open the position due to policies forcing them even when just renewing a contract. Is this the same for certain foundations?
For a company whose corporate headquarters are in the Netherlands, they sure have a pretty antimonarchist name: BooKing.com

Don't be fooled by the name. It is not a currency. It's a "digital asset" which is something which is both well defined in French law and has to follow strict regulation regarding its backing. At the end of the day, it's euro-denominated and euro-backed.

It's actually interesting when it comes to smart contract. As far as I know, this is probably the safest collateral existing nowadays.
BMW claim that a diesel 3 series will get 61mpg. Volkswagen reckon a Golf 2.0 TDI will do 68mpg. Electric is still significantly better, but you didn't need pick a terrible diesel car as an example.
Does it support mssql? If not how hard would it be to add it inhouse?

Additionaly I think "Connecting to database" guide would be helpful addition to docs. To me it's a bit counterintuitive that I found first mention of database support in section "CLI reference". Maybe it already exists, I just couldn't find it.
The information about Glebe Gate is contradictory.

> This was a lawsuit about copyright infringement

and then their replies mention that they were defending their trademark.

It appears that it was trademark related and not about copyright infringement which to my mind is far more acceptable. Companies have to defend their trademarks to keep them "active", but copyright infringement can be ignored by the owners if they wish.
Why not just Google 'Marcella Hazan carbonara'? When I want a recipe I usually Google 'bbc food carbonara' - I want the site I trust rather than the one which has won the SEO race. I also might try "Carluccio carbonara" for the UK authority on pasta sauce.

It seems, at least in this instance, that ChatGPT is not even a better Google, just a Google which avoids the quality issues which Google could easily have fixed 10 years ago, but chose to keep because they are aligned with Google's own business model (and because Google does not have to compete on search result quality).
wow that's really cool, taking into account all shortages/crisis/war, it's really fast
When you try to argue something is law, please have the decency to link to the actual law, you have linked a proposal and not the law as accepted by parliament.
Not excited and actually not updating right now, but for a desktop install I do see people going every upgrade. Speaking couch laptop here, I usually upgrade when the new LTS release is out, sticking out the full 4-5 years on a desktop is a thing I only know from universities and corps.

I personally mostly stick to LTS and then add any package via nixpkgs where I either want the absolute latest version or want some sort of decoupling from the distro package manager but still not build on my own.
it happens when suddenly thousands of people making a request.. and the token expires ;)
Historically, like 20, 22 years ago it was a LOT more costly to put some high speed ram in 24/48 port gigabit Ethernet switches for port buffers. Now we live in an era of high speed cheap memory so even throwing gobs of ram at rib and fib on routers meant to take multiple full bgp tables isn't so costly.
People don't always manage to vote their interests even if/when they manage to rationally identify what those are. Welcome to politics.
A few years ago I had a strange experience of sitting through a gig in an East London pub while a hipster "sang" a spoken word song about Deptford (where he had moved to) and how the pre-existing community there has been ravaged by an influx of hipsters pricing locals out and replacing their community hubs with coffee shops. Notable in this lament was that he included himself as part of the problem. It was a paean of self-hatred which of course elevated him above the rest of the people in his category - he saw himself as implicitly superior since he was the one calling himself out.

The mainly young, white, middle class, female audience was wrapt in his performance. I couldn't stand more than a few minutes of it and left soon after arriving. I hadn't given it a second thought until seeing this shameless post-modern PR campaign on Hacker News.
it is superb!! I love it!!
That 25+ year rule also guarantees that the models are not going to be up to date to modern standards regarding pollution (though I'm not sure they've been updated in 25 years in the US) or safety (but extremely unsafe oversized trucks for personal use are allowed anyway, so apparently nobody really cares about safety).

I think the US needs to update a lot of rules regarding the sale, import, pollution and import of cars, including trucks. Require commercial licenses for the big stuff, have US manufacturers manufacture these practical small cars in the US according to modern US standards, and allow the import of vehicles that US manufacturers refuse to make.
it could be a nice idea ;)
It is the same in many areas I think. You get in if you know someone, or have a prior established rapport. At the very least that is a way more pleasant way of finding a new job.
The President of Nintendo in America is Doug Bowser
In this case, you have trust one of the largest bank of France and the French authority auditing it (these are regulated assets when it comes to backing). That feels to me a bit safer than some random company in a tax-haven.

It comes a bit late sadly.
This surely is an effective strategy - have I had read about Oatly + Blackstone elsewhere, I might have raised an eyebrow.

Simply the fact that they own it makes it look less problematic.

Note taken, this is how you handle controversies.

It is bold. But being bold doesn't make you right, it just makes you bold.

Important to remember that just owning it doesn't make the problems less real. They grow on Blackstone money. They market themselves to vegans and feed farm pigs on residue.
What happens when your healthcare data is used to train AI models?
So this is a PRopaganda piece by Oatly that collects controversies surrounding them and tries to downplay them. I can't say it worked for me.
I gave it a try 2 days ago on Linux and it crashed after a couple of minutes doing basic manipulations. Have I just been unlucky or is it really unreliable?
It's somewhat matched if the electricity is generated by combustion. Even then, if the power is generated using an efficient cycle (e.g. CCGT) the EV still tends to come out ahead.
> why would you use a Nokia ? Raspberry could be a better option.

Deniability if searched by police.
There exists several companies that offer exactly that. However it's expensive and most smaller farmers just don't see the need.
If you work with it daily maybe. The LTS releases in numerical form are anchor points. (even number + .04), but even if I should know I'd have to look up again which one is 22.04.

Wasn't a problem when doing OS stuff with servers every day, sure.
> How outrageous, they want to use the infrastructure like they're people?

If you apply this to walking as well, you'll see how silly it is.
correct.. this is what the original repo https://github.com/orsifrancesco/instagram-without-api-node does
The big reason for this is thermodynamics. A conventional internal combustion engine car has to convert chemical energy to kinetic energy - the absolute best theoretical efficiency of this might be 70%, but in practice it's more like 30%. Electric cars have to pay the same thermodynamic penalty, but they pay it at the power station (In practice, thanks to renewables, not all the electricity used to charge a car will come from hydrocarbons - but let's assume it does for ease of comparison sakes). It's much easier to build highly efficient hydrocarbon power stations - typical efficiencies range from 40-60%.

So when you look at the headline "efficiency" of an electric car, you need to take that thermodynamic penalty into account first.

A modern series hybrid like a Toyota Prius is effectively an electric vehicle and a gas generator (which means it has the same efficiency gains due to regenerative braking). That gets 52 mpg, which is about 493 Wh/km. If you generated the 225 Wh the Tesla needs in even the most efficient combined cycle gas turbine powerplant you'd need 375 Wh. Less - but not nearly as drastic as it first seems.

Renewables change the picture though - once you have significant renewable generation the carbon intensity of electricity starts dropping, which means that remote powerplant vs local powerplant argument falls apart. That is when the real power of electric vehicles kicks in - they can take their energy from anywhere.
Digital coins and banks don't mix well, as the recent bank runs have shown.

The entire premise of banks is that they know their customers withdrawal and deposit patterns, which are usually independent and not very correlated, and they can invest the money in the mean time.

But stablecoins are extremely unstable from a bank point of view. They can get withdrawal spikes, which result in bank runs. There's no way around that.
This! I mean, we saw the same with computing: the first PCs cost thousands of dollars, but by the start of the nineties they were much more affordable already. Mostly because of technology advances and mass production, but of course also because of moving chip/board production to cheaper countries. Same with mobile phones, smartphones, laptops etc. etc.
Wasn't in the room when it happened. The cheapo shit shelf (not my buy btw) couldn't hold the sixth bottle. We were lucky it was just the one that broke!
Nevertheless tenured academics are expected to handle this themselves in parallel with teaching and research...
I would say it depends on the country. Russia is still a major exporter of petroleum goods and can make the price very appealing to it's neighbors (but yeah, after they started the war, the situation is not so strightforward)
correct.. normally the token expires after weeks but..
it expired soon when suddenly thousands of people made requests.. ;)
I will fix it
So, your assumption is that they are all just a bunch of uppity jackasses instead of semi rational human beings? Go give those routes a ride chum, you'll probably figure out whats going on in a hurry.

Thank you for your amazing work! This is inspired by your whisper wasm demo!

I can barely keep up with the changes to your repos. You landed gpt-neox / stablelm support right around the time I was finishing up this demo, which I can’t wait to try after I get some sleep.
Good to know. I'm most afraid of missing something, it liquifying and shorting the PSU. Guess I'll be extra thorough.
It would be constantly swapping though
Out of the whole developer pool? Sure, that's a very small fraction.

Out of the pool of Gtk developers? That's basically saying "Have you done gtk and kept up to date?". It's not really the equivalent of the dreadful "5 years of experience in a JS framework that came out last October".

For a migration job, what else would you suggest as the initial requirements? Sounds okay, although they might have to go down if they find out that e.g. every gtk3 developer moved on to Qt, WinUI or Flutter...

(For generic, long-term positions I'm strictly against too specific requirements, by the way. Actual desktop UI experience would be great, though, even in our current sad state)

They could try reading, which is effective in this situation given that the quoted portion of the manpage is a concise and easily-understood description of the rules.

You mean fat-tired e-bikes? I see them a lot in Amsterdam too. They're definitely more like mopeds and scooters than bikes, unlike regular e-bikes that pretend to be bikes. I'm not sure which ones I prefer (I'm not a fan either way), but they're both a massive improvement over the old fuel-burning two-stroke mopeds and scooters. (By Dutch law, two-stroke engines didn't have to meet the same pollution rules as 4-stroke engines, so these things were pretty dirty.)
So it's a decent replacement for .. those free magazines that you get at the supermarket?

One glaring problem with perl in this day and age (apart from pass by value by default) is a lack of built-in generators. Python has them. Javascript has them. Go has goroutines. Bet Rust has some macros or something.

Yes, I’m aware of some rotting modules on CPAN that half-assedly implement them, but given that they exactly bolt it on, they are full of gotchas, like Try::Tiny, with which it’s quite easy to forget that a return statement in the try block will do exactly the wrong thing.
But that's the problem. If everyone is only doing this for the money then as soon as incentives shift and they have an opportunity to make more money by pouring toxic waste into the ocean then they'll do it.

It's like companies who are "passionate about customer service" (both in rhetoric and reality). We understand that they're still motivated by profit but if they have this additional almost ideological commitment to good customer service (or product quality or whatever) then there is at least a chance that they will at least think twice in screwing over their customers for a small profit increase.

It is interesting but my data is useless. I lost over 70 pounds since July last year but I don't have any good record of blood sugar measurements. I did measurements whenever I liked either to confirm I am in ketosis or just to check my blood sugar / ketone levels in response to how I felt or to check how much various meals raised my sugar. But I did not keep any log.

There is couple things I learned. When you are on a strict ketogenic diet your blood sugar pretty much stays the same throughout the day. Even if I eat one huge meal for entire day, my sugar after the meal is pretty much the same as before the meal or within 10mg/dL. My exercise and circadian rhythm affect sugar more than meals.

Given this I wonder if it is possible at least for some people with diabetes to skip carbs completely and live carb-free but also insulin-free life.

Another thing I learned is that as I started my first keto month, your blood sugar starts dropping, then goes back up after about two weeks. Coincidentally, I also felt pretty poorly for those two weeks and my running performance dropped dramatically until my body adapted. The second time I started keto (after two months of break from it) I have seen nothing of the sort. Actually, I feel (but don't have good enough record to be sure) my blood sugar got a bit higher. But I have only been doing regular sugar measurements when I was in keto so I don't have data for sure.
There are lots of roads in the US where there’s no sidewalk and you have to walk along the edge of the road if you’re a pedestrian. What’s silly about this? In general, it is perfectly legal to use roads for cycling and walking (though I'm sure there is some variation between jurisdictions).
My biggest problem is that they target the individuals, rather than the actual big polluters. (Hell, carbon footprint was coined by the oil lobby.)
I don't really have a problem with this.

If anything I'd argue that he should have been put away for more than 21 years since he'd certainly still be a risk to the public, but as it turns out after the 21 years they just extend his time anyway as long as he is still deemed a danger to society and that seems perfectly reasonable. I suspect he'll always be deemed a danger to society, but if turns out that there's some reason why that changes then why shouldn't he be released?

I also don't care if he spends his time locked up playing video games. I hope that as long as he's locked up he is well treated and somehow lives an otherwise happy life. If I'd done what he did I'd never find peace. Some people just can't be allowed to be around the rest of us, because if we let them, they'd harm us. Keeping them imprisoned and unable to do as they please, go where they want, and be with the people they love is punishment enough but that's what is needed to keep the rest of us safe. If we had some means to "fix" people broken in the way he is so that they wouldn't go around murdering a bunch of people we wouldn't even need to do that.

I'm not at all interested in torturing or murdering people out of a desire for revenge. It's a tragedy that he murdered all those people, and it's another tragedy he'll have to spend his life locked away from the world because of it.
Mad to me that this hasn't been resolved after _years_, despite it seeming (naïvely) to be quite a simple fix?

I worked around it once—I can't remember how now—and got Inkscape running without lag on my Mac, but it introduced another bug where it would crash when resizing a window. I got done what I needed to do then abandoned it. I doubt chasing down the fixes would take that long for someone with actual experience.
Even more confusingly, what the US calls a gallon isn't the same as what other countries call the gallon. It's about a 20% difference.

The Qantas 16h 45m flight from Dallas to Sydney aims for Brisbane, and then turns to Sydney as the plane approaches Australia. (10th longest commercial route in the world).

This allows the plane to land at Brisbane and refuel if the calculations are done wrong. Couldn't find stats on how many times it's had to land in BNE.

Pre-COVID, it was apparently common to try and off-load passengers to single stopover flights to reduce fuel needs (I was one of those passengers, and the crew confirmed it was a regular occurance).
Nuclear waste can be stored on the Moon. Just be careful that it doesn't overheat and turn into a giant rocket, propelling the Moon out of the solar system.
This is a weird cultural thing about the US. I once read about an experiment were people were sorted from rich to poor, and were then given an amount of money to give to a person next to them, either just a bit richer, or just a bit poorer.

In practically every country in the world, this experiment resulted in people giving money to the poorer neighbour. Only in the US did they give it to the richer neighbour.

Same. I tried Inkscape because Illustrator is abandonware at this point (and of course now part of Adobe's software-rental scam) and mostly liked it. Way back I even liked the fact that it put the menu where it belongs (on the application's main frame) even on the Mac.

But the UI performance is just too janky by modern standards, and I too bought Affinity Designer. But Affinity's UI suffers from some truly brain-dead design gaffes that they refuse to fix. I'd be psyched to see Inkscape become a real competitor.

I note the reference to OpenGL, but that has been dropped in Mac OS. I wonder if the Inkscape peeps have plans to address that.
The thieves want plausible deniability if they are caught possessing it.

If a policeman suspects you of being a car thief and catches you with a Raspberry Pi, that looks pretty suspicious.

The same policeman wouldn't think anything suspicious about (what appears to be) a Nokia cell phone.

In the logic of psychopaths, which civilization, with special regard to education and legislation, is meant to minimize.

It happens because people seem to be striving for their goals through "dumbing down". Which is the opposite of the sought and mandated. If people do not realize consequences, they allow practices.
Ship it. Can’t wait to let this thing loose via agent-based auto-gpt commit spree.

In all seriousness, I do expect better results from a 1.3B parameter model. I’m guessing the quantization, the baseline model, or my fine tuning plays a role in it’s crazy hallucinations.
Yep, specifically this uses writing-mode: vertical-lr and text-orientation: sideways-right.
For me, at least, v1.2 has been pretty solid and was a big step up from earlier versions. It's responsive (way better than e.g. GIMP 2.6 which is comically bad), and very stable (although it was never as bad as e.g. FreeCAD was for me). There are glitches (e.g. OpenType feature handling UI) but nothing that screams "this doesn't work because you're using a mac".

It struggles a little with this but I don't deal with 3d plots in Inkscape all that much:

Perl does add new features, but if your program has use v5.30; at the top, and a library has use v5.22;, or the other way round, it will work.

40% diesel efficiency is for optimal conditions, like steady cruise on a motorway. For practical driving it is less than 25%.

What is also missing here is that it takes 20-30% of energy to refine diesel or gasoline plus there is oil extraction cost. Accounting for that electrical car produces less CO2 when electricity comes from a modern coal plant than a diesel car.
