It's fairly busy but mostly with river ferries, barges, recreational boats, etc which aren't too tall and can fit under most bridges. Taking the Tower Bridge example, vessels up to 9 metres tall can fit under it. If you're taller than that, the bridge must be raised on request[1]. I'd imagine that would be the minimum requirement for any bridge built east of Tower Bridge. Currently the only bridge over the Thames east of Tower Bridge is the Dartford Crossing, which has a 61 meter high deck.

[1] By law, river traffic takes priority over road traffic, but it's raised pretty infrequently now days.
Jeans went skinny in the eighties but not to the extent now. I never followed fashion trends, but as an amateur cyclist my thighs simply would not fit in a pair of 501’s. I was the first kid anywhere in my social circle or school to wear 550’s, a full year before anyone else discovered baggy pants.

Painful clothing is fucking bullshit.
I'm quite curious how much of the improvement on text rendering is from the switch to pixel-space diffusion vs. the switch to a much larger pretrained text encoder. I'm leaning towards the latter, which then raises the question of what happens when you try training Stable Diffusion with T5-XXL-1.1 as the text encoder instead of CLIP — does it gain the ability to do text well?
These analogies don't work. Sending a bunch of data to a computer and receiving a bunch of data in return is in no way analogous to physically entering private property without permission. They are not the same thing, or the same order of thing, or at all comparable.
> Unless they are dirt poor, they can probably pay for themselves for most things.

Are you saying $20 for a burger and drink is trivial unless one is "dirt poor"? That doesn't match my estimates of the distribution of wealth in the US, and certainly not the world.
Nolo press publishes books on numerous areas of law including patent law, probably they have some at your public library. These are oriented towards people who would want to make the decision about filing a patent and file for the patent themselves.

A small business that applies for its first few patents can get a discount of 75% for their filing fees, I paid just $65 to file a provisional patent application and I think it wouldn't be much more than $1000 for a complete patent application if you did it yourself.

Your idea may or may not be patentable but you should read up on the subject and make up your mind if you want to try it.

Ah, easy mistake. Auden always seemed more critical and political than Kipling.
This could be super cool for logos. I've tried using Stable Diffusion to generate logos and it does pretty good at helping brainstorm, but the text is always gibberish so you can use its idea, but you have to add your own text which basically means creating a logo from scratch using its designs as inspiration.

Core memory unlocked. Somewhere deep in the bellows of my electronics pile, I have an ancient HP barcode reader box that plugged inline with an AT keyboard. Into this box plugged a reader pen that you dragged across a barcode.

Reminder that hotter water carries less oxygen, which affects sea life.

We talk about the human crisis, about economic damage & suffering, mkre volatile weather, drinking water, riding sea levels, but there's things afoot bow the water level that seem like potentially for real existential crisises. It's just too scary to imagine the ramifications of changing the oceans too much, of ruining the ecologies there.

Cars are a terrible ESD and EMC environment and safety critical at the same time.

Computer equipment usually does pretty well, especially after installation (when there's good ground path everywhere and it's in a chassis). Between ferrite beads and TVS, there's a pretty good amount of protection, and I've seen pretty few ESD anomalies-- a reset or two when touching connectors long ago is about the extent of it.

RFI and EMC is another matter. When I was operating a 100W 30MHz transmitter indoors briefly, the computers around did all kinds of wacky stuff. Flashing screens, random mouse clicks (from wired mice), transmitting packetstorms on their own, etc.
One could say much the same thing about emacs and vim as well. emacs, in particular, is essentially nothing more than the elisp interpreter, with some good primitives to build a (some say mediocre) text editor inside a pretty cool operating system.

This is definitely the preferable, and normal, approach, but it raises issues when your friend group is of varying socioeconomic situations. Less affluent members may deprive themselves at dinner, or worse, politely decline the invitation all together, because of concern about their ability to pay, despite the more affluent members being more than happy to cover their meal because they enjoy their company.
Are there examples where this is possible but other forms of transfer are not possible? From my experience working with crypto exchanges, there are a lot of regulations and processes that make them just as slow as a bank in a pinch. And if your country is war torn, I find it unlikely any exchanges would even operate effectively there.

This type of use mostly seems like a crypto bro fantasy to me, but I’d definitely be interested to see some reporting on this actually working.

While this post does raise some valid points, it seems to underscore an underlying issue with many open source software: the lack of comprehensive documentation and the assumption of a high level of technical know-how. The issues with Loki seem largely symptomatic of this trend. The good news is, it's a fixable problem. The bad news is, it's often not prioritized by the developers.

Moreover, the post speaks volumes about the potential pitfalls of "all-in-one" solutions. These can seem appealing due to their simplicity, but as this author has experienced, they often come with their own challenges, especially when things go wrong.

The friction with the Loki setup underscores the importance of having a good contingency plan in place for log management systems, as loss of log data can be a severe issue.

As for the author's point about the devs wanting you to use their cloud service, it's a common business model. Free or cheap software that's difficult to set up on your own, but with a paid service that makes it easy. The question is whether this trade-off is worth it for your specific use case.

No, it doesn’t.

It says they can state the terms of a contract if all the requirements of contract formation have been met, which are more than just the absence of unconscionable terms.

Regenerative agriculture has also demonstrated that it can bring degraded and marginal land back into production and it uses less irrigation etc. by design, so it would be possible to expand arable land.
Show HN: Open-Source ChatGPT Bot Platform Written in Ruby on Rails 7
You should absolutely go for it. Start even simpler and with lower investment if you want, too. These systems are easy to get running and you can gradually add sensors and automation as you go.

I wish I started a lot earlier, but I was constantly trying to have the right stuff, or enough stuff to get started with the perfect setup. It turns out that makes no sense. You’re going to make mistakes, learn stuff, figure out what you like and don’t like, etc.

Starting with a bare bones setup using NFT, not even in a grow tent necessarily, you’ll figure out really quickly what you want to do with it and how to move forward.

Something I also didn’t really understand or consider is how easy it is to add sensors or update firmware gradually. Each of the sensors I use is useful independently or together; it’s totally fine to start with just one. Though most important is arguably water and air temperature; you’ll use those to accurately adjust other sensor readings, and in the short term, they’re immediately critical to plant health.

I’ve got a small system running on my old deep water culture equipment in my outdoor greenhouse, and I actually check its pH with plain old pH testing drops, a vial, and a card with the colours to match against. It works totally fine. While it won’t teach you about automation, it’ll get you familiar with how your system responds to different conditions, what the pH tends to do with the plants you’re growing, and so on. This is all invaluable and I wish I knew it before I started automating. I would have written better code from the beginning.

Why vegetarian then? It's easy enough to buy meat that was raised on a local farm. Get a chest freezer, reach out to a local 4H club, and buy the whole animal. They'll butcher and vac-seal it for you. You could buy some kid's highschool project.

I live an hour from SF and I get much of my meat this way. It's surprisingly inexpensive. There are agricultural communities close enough to every urban environment to make it worth the drive.

I switched from a Pixel to iPhone and had to turn off Siri because the difference in quality is jarring. I'm also sad that I can't ask my Google Home to find my phone anymore, or use Google Assistant in the car with "Hey Google."

But camera that can take more than 3 pictures rapidly + iMessage + magnetic charging + airpod/iwatch support + build quality are ultimately just more important features to have on a device I use every day. I hate that getting these features right means that Apple can forever get the other features wrong.

The downside risk is only marginally different. If you are "passionate" engineer at Google, going to startup means making 150k rather than 350k. Don't get me wrong, 200k is a lot, even in the bay area, but it's not like you are destitute. If it doesn't work out you can always return to Google. The upside is completely different.

Secondly, you are also at the mercy at your VPs, who got to that position by also maximizing short term results. A VC may not have the tools to force you to pivot if you are making ump-teen million dollars in year 1, but a VP may decide to kill your project to move more experienced engineers to another pet project. A passionate engineer at a pet project is an anomaly at a large corporation, who also has to fight the political winds of people trying to maximize their short term gains. And I don't think those people are wrong, it's the rational thing to do, especially when any equity upside will go largely to existing shareholders.

You can emulate traditional dependency management by pinning the versions of all your scraps, and updating them selectively:

user/my-scrap@414

> This fixer would have to walk the dependency tree.

Remember that the language itself works like a merkle tree and every scrap can be cached anywhere. To keep the language and tooling extremely simple, I think this works well enough.

> What if something breaks contract in the middle, something I do not control?

Everything is strongly typed, so there are certain guarantees about how things can break and update. You can easily make tooling that never makes breaking changes.

People can always introduce implementation bugs into their code though, but that's inevitable even with dependency management.

> That sounds like a huge burden on developers with lots of risk.

I will try my hardest to reduce that burden. I think I can put some sane defaults in the tooling surrounding the language to obviate the need for traditional dependency management.

> most cities in the state are filled with suburbs full of homes now approaching $500k or more.

I still get Zillow emails from my time living in the state. $500k is in the rearview mirror. A lot of new developments in the "nicer" suburbs are hitting the $1MM mark. $500k buys you a new home in the far, far suburbs. $250k gets you a 800 sqft 40s-50s ranch in a "crestfallen" neighborhood (and the price history on Zillow will show it as being sold for $60k 10 years ago).
