Fuck Oatly
It's way cheaper and more efficient for electricity consumers to purchase power from the grid, and for the grid to figure out the most optimal way to produce and deliver the power.

Solar and wind are in many areas a) only available during certain hours b) expensive.

To ensure you have a stable power cost, and stable power availability, you as a large consumer (In the EU) make PPA agreements with power producers for specific KW rates, for specific KWh amounts, for specific times. These are complicated agreements.

A few panels on some warehouses and hangers close to an airport could keep the lights and the A/C on in the terminal, but that's about it. No one is putting up wind turbines anywhere close to an airport.
Exactly, politics is embedded in the crypto ecosystem, where most want to be extragovermental. If you are building something that tries to be money or a security, where people are voting, or is a "token with utility" then you cannot avoid politics being part of it.
Recharging would take a lot of energy but it's not unthinkable to have 1-3 GW supplied to an airport (which is what a reactor would likely supply), large metropolitan areas and large industrial factories already get to similar amounts. It's a couple of transmission lines and most large airports are close to population centers anyway.

The challenge would be getting the right amount at the right time, like now with quick charging. Like there, you'd probably have buffer storage at the airport so that it consumes electricity when available (e.g. during the day from solar) and dispenses it to aircrafts when needed. Luckily, most airports in the world have nearly all take offs and landings during the day, so there's a big overlap. Dubai would be an example where likely all would come from solar but a lot is needed over night (if we ever get electric long-haul flights).

So overall I don't think that this would be the limiting factor. But I guess larger airliners are more likely to run on synthetic fuels than electricity for a long time. And I guess that's fine, we have a lot of areas where cheap and/or dense batteries can help us much more in the short term (grid storage, cars, trucks).

10 years ago this was a far bigger deal as the western game was the only one in town. Nowadays nonaligned countries can pivot to the Russia/China axis and still get resources and manufactured goods.
Isopropanol should befine.

Some years ago I did something similar on my DELL monitor, but with coca cola. Cleaned everything with isopropanol, let it dry for a day just to be on the safe side, and tested. It still runs even today. PSUs are robust.
Ignoring the complexity of accomplishing that, such an enterprise would cost an immense amount of material and pollution. Also, it would not stabilize or decrease mining on Earth.

At 10 Gbps, with 9000 byte packets there's 1.1 million packets/second.

Compare that to say, a 56K modem that can handle all of 4 1500 byte packets/second.

Also, not only time to retransmit matters, but the amount of power we expend per packet. I think it's ridiculous to have thousands of times more overhead than necessary, and this likely hurts a lot more than the rare retransmission.

Theres this weird animosity, people in cars like to get outraged at people on bikes. I can't pinpoint why, but its almost like a xenophobic reaction? Some people see a bicyclist and launch into a tirade about how aggravating the 'bad ones' are. Real self righteous stuff.

Conversely being on a bike there is a real sense that people in cars are out to do you harm. Theres the people who try to rattle you - honk their horn at you to vent their outrage, completely unaware of how fucking loud those things are, or run you off the road, that sort of thing. The real unnerving stuff is the people who come close to murdering you by accident, just not paying attention as they maneuver their vehicles. One time I made eye contact with a woman while I pulled my bike out from under her SUV (just a foot or two under, right between the wheels on the passenger side, real lucky break for me) as she sped away - people do hit and run but I never experienced it as a driver and don't think a car ever stopped to see if I was alright let alone exchange details when I was on a bike.

I never got the impression it was a class thing. I think part of it is that a bicyclist is not at all threatening and rather vulnerable in fact. The other part I suspect is just regular old 'not one of us' shit - if you listen to people they'll basically tell you how they think they should be allowed to wantonly mistreat bicyclists because they felt mildly inconvenienced at one point.
This has been talked to death on this thread.

Swedish law enforcement did an initial investigation. Applied for a warrant. Was granted a warrant. Then six officers from the national police arrived to serve the warrant.

In any country in the world with a functioning government they are not just going to walk away because someone said they don’t have the materials covered in the warrant.
But do we really need to focus on general aviation? I don't have numbers but believe it to be a pretty small part overall. In transportation, it's also fine if we keep some gasoline speciality vehicles for a long time, as long as we're able to convert the vast majority of cars and trucks.

> I don't think you can do much when you lose front-wheel traction

Sure you can. A tire, any tire on any axle, will start to slide iff you're asking it to do too much work vs. the available traction. That's it. You can always do one (or both) of two things: ask the tire to do less, or increase the traction available to it. You have controls available to change both of these variables (steering and throttle).

Accelerating transfers weight to the rear wheels and lifting off the throttle (deceleration) transfers weight to the front wheels. The steering controls how much work you're asking the front wheels to do.

Once you grok this, it follows that RWD is easier and more controllable at the limit of traction due to separation of controls. The steering controls front traction and the throttle controls rear traction (but I'm simplifying, as the throttle also controls weight transfer thus traction on both axles). In FWD cars you have less fine-grained control since the throttle and steering are both using up traction of the front axle and the rear wheels are merely along for the ride. In a RWD car you can steer with the throttle without changing steering wheel angle.

All of this is car control 101. Which I wish was taught in the US as a prerequisite for getting a drivers license but sadly it is not, so approximately nobody has any experience in how to control a car when traction is less than optimal (rain, snow, oil on the street, etc.)

I urge everyone who drives to take a few car control courses to learn these basics. It can save your life, or the life of others, or maybe just some car repair bills. Totally worth it.

You can reason about the physics when reading about it online but there is no way to train your muscle memory to do the right thing other than by actually spending time practicing these skills in the real world, ideally with a car control instructor next to you.
The audio war sort of faded out of the collective conscious. I have no idea what happened since at least 2016. Did opus win? Why haven't I seen anything by xiphmont for what feels like a thousand years?
I believe car manufacturers are already big in battery production, for them it's as crucial as ICE production was before. It takes time to ramp up but I'd expect battery tech to be a key component that large manufacturers will want to have in house. But it could be one of the first key technologies where Chinese companies are a few years ahead of European and American companies.

The 272 Wh/kg is at cell level not pack level which the Tesla weight refers to. In my X has about 92 kWh usable energy when new and it uses around 225 Wh/km at 120 km/h and 170 at 90.

The 3 and Y is even more efficient, mostly due to size. But it has a smaller battery, I can get about 69 kWh out of my AWD 3 after losses and it hovers around 170-180 Wh/km at 120 km/h and 130-140 at 90.

I played a bit with a 7B llama model (which made my laptop sweat already). It's exceedingly stupid, very different from ChatGPT. Of course that is fully expected, and, as you mentioned, the lower complexity models seem utterly useless. There seems to be some threshold effect where usefulness goes up. Not sure where it lies. I am pretty sure it's not within reach of my laptop (yet).

I remember seeing a french documentary about the french criminal world many many years ago, there they showed a professional car thief using a device bought from Russia that he plugged into the ODB2 port. Once plugged in it reset the car and it could be started with a blank key. A co-workers friend got his Audi RS4 stolen from a public garage with the thiefs using the technique described in the article and that was probably 6-8 years ago so it’s far from new but maybe more widespread now.

Invoked for the tendency to do rewrites instead of maintaining and bug fixing, since rewrites are more "interesting".
When I bought my used EV there were 2 options: Leaf or Zoe. As a high percentage of Zoe's had rented batteries, and the websites didn't have a filter for that, I didn't even bother test driving one.
Usually that’s not random, how in the world did you manage to do that? All the best.
>OIDC Authenticated Publishers

That also strikes bad since GitHub Actions isn't a publisher anyways. To me, a package "publisher" is basically just the author. Here it's a CI system or a builder. "Trusted builders" or "trusted pushers" would've made a lot more sense, since the trust is applying to the build system, not the publisher.
In some places like San Francisco, it's effectively impossible to get a permit without making several "donations" to the local "nonprofits" & electeds office. You'll hear about how they know the problem is so hard and how much they hate the beauracracy and that's why they set up a small office to help small business or homeowners just like you but we're so busy and it's so hard to keep something like that staffed...
Honestly I think lobbyists are fine as long as their influence on politicians is tightly controlled. A politician needs to know the interests of companies and people in their constituency. Lobby groups are an effective way to provide that view point. They just shouldn't be allowed to write laws or bribe politicians.
You guys can send me email if you're interested through: tra@caroot.io
I don't have a reference. I'm taking the very reasonable assumption that openai is making money on API calls based on how much they charge compared to others in this space, the favorable pricing they receive from Microsoft, their ability to constantly bring down the costs and push the savings to their consumers, their unwillingness to lower the cost of Dall-E even though it's more expensive than it's competitors.

Very reasonable assumptions. You will never get certainty, even if they say they're profitable maybe they're just lying for investors. If you see their bank account total go up every month maybe it's a ponzi scheme.

For my heuristics, if not profitable, at least close, and definitely a major success in acquiring market share and customer mind share.
Huh. This is definitely… a bold strategy.

The PR folks behind this have a future in politics, for sure.

User: That is good to hear. Can you tell me something about wasm?
Assistant: Wasm is a Hebrew surname meaning "goodness" or "dignity". It has been used in the past as a surname and a verb in the past. The first person plural form wasm has been used in the past, but the plural form wasm is still used today.

User: And the code-kind of wasm?
Assistant: The code-kind of wasm is a mathematical formalization of the mathematical ideas of the

"Cascade of Attention Deficit Teens" - it's a phrase coined by jwz (of Mozilla fame) to refer to how some some projects (he specifically targeted GNOME) tend to throw out mature-but-imperfect code and rewrite it from one version to the next rather than addressing bugs and problems in the existing software.

I think it's a little unfair of him to single out young developers, but I have seen the 1.x -> 2.x rewrite before too so he's not wrong overall.

Average plane cannot fly with batteries; the weight is still too high compared to jet fuel and the range is too short. Only short flights of up to 1000 km and 90 minutes will be in reach initially, jet fuel minus efficiency loses is still over 3000 Wh/kg, 6 times more than these new batteries.

CATL is a spinoff from ATL, so it's possible that there's some cross-pollination going on.

This company is fascinating to me, because until recently they had no media presence.

I believe many of the cars are disassembled for parts and scrapped, most of its value needlessly destroyed. Some are exported to third world countries. Most thefts are not value-adding or preserving operations, literally doesn't pay(well).
Just from a design / information dissemination perspective, I honestly feel like this website falls flat. I scrolled through and still don’t know what’s really wrong about Oatly nor was my interest really piqued to find out more. The "next scandal coming soon" also feels off to me like it's more of a smear campaign.

Of course, ymmv and Oatly might definitely have big issues but I didn't get it from this site.
Nail on the head.

Airliners have already moved away from the hub-and-spoke model to a point-to-point model where smaller narrowbodies fly direct from small airport to small airport (E.g. Southwest in the US). They do this specifically because of the increased efficiencies of smaller aircraft.

If you can further lower the per passanger cost of small planes, you can make smaller airports more viable, and fly point-to-point from more odd routes. Think Oxford, UK (OXF), to Gothenburg, Sweden (GSE).

> But hey, good that an FOSS dev on the project finally gets paid!

It's a strategic choice whether your company wants to employ FOSS tools for your production, but if you do, or you base your company on consulting for other companies who use those tools, then it is of course in your interest to also influence the continued relevance of said tools. This is why FOSS isn't necessarily cheaper for companies, because if you want to defend your interest, you eventually have to hire software engineers to - at the very least - gain an overview, if not some measure of "ownership" or stabilizing influence over the code base.
NO. They're leaving the infrastructure we ALL paid to build for them vacant, and blocking that which we paid for to accommodate motorized vehicles.
I am genuinely interested - is gtkmm like modern C++? It’s been around a long time (gtkmm) and I’m curious how it has kept up with C++ standard libraries.
> No they don't. Where were you driving 23 days ago? Or, if you could categorize your driving data in your head, what did you pass, precisely.

Just because I cannot do that, still my brain had this input, and was "trained", and we know the real neurons of the brain work completely different in all regards (connecitvities forming, activations, weighting) than our gross simplification of one activation function with a weight.. so not getting your arguments at all.

I have been trained on all these inputs, and even if I cannot recall them now they manifested in a my superior brain somehow.

Nice that in theory the AI training data has all this available, still the resulting model is much simpler, and also cannot recite all of its inputs seen, too??

And Uranium-235 about 1GWh/kg

EDIT: this is for nuclear fuel enriched to 3% in a normal (not breeder) reactor 35000 MJ per 10g pellet
https://whatisnuclear.com/energy-density.html Only a tiny fraction of the total energy is actually used
Less of the "S". With current flight patterns you need multiple gigawatts. Calculations based on 737s leaving Gatwick:

Energy density of the fuel: 9.6kWh/L

900 flights per day = one flight every 96 seconds

26024.706L per flight

Total energy per flight: 9.6 x 26024.706kWh = 250MWh give or take = 900GJ

Total power supplied from Gatwick in the form of aviation fuel: 900GJ/96s = 9.375GW.

That's not only outside the range of SMRs, it's bigger than any single nuclear power station that's been built, by a comfortable margin.

To make electric flight work you can't think in terms of the way the current industry is structured because it's so distorted by the energy density of the current fuel.

Number matching doesn't prevent phishing. When a potential victim enters their password into a fake login page, the attacker simply needs to initiate a login using the provided password and forward the number challenge to the fake page.

Experiences vary. I was on a Tokyo subway train (Chūō-Sōbu Line(Local)). For a couple of minutes after boarding it was so quiet that it was eerie. When I started hearing quiet noises I relaxed.

Anyway, mass transit does not have to be noisy. It varies by custom and culture.
