You gotta start somewhere mate, might as well start with a rule that says, if you're gonna build something new and put a new stove in, might as well make sure it's electric. Really don't see you're point here. So because the impact of a single measure is not that big it means we shouldn't do it? You could apply that reasoning that a shit load of individual measures, what you fail to point out is that all those individual measures add up to a Significant reduction, even if any single one doesn't by itself.
What if they extended it so that all residents must pay it, wether they want to use or not public transport? This way, they can reduce the price even more and everybody can hop in a public transport anytime they want without thinking.
For such proof to be effective, one has to trust lot of formulas from physics books.
(Source of flat-earthery is extreme distrust in everything that is not a first-hand experience. You can’t prove much if your limited exclusively to first hand experience)
You raise a good point, and I would answer it with agree and disagree:

Agree: Yes, you are correct, merely observing that a code path was never executed in the last 6 months is not the same as understanding why the code path was created in the first place. There might be the quite real possibility of an infrequent event that appears just once in every two years or so (of course, this should also be documented somewhere!).

Disagree: Pragmatically, we have an answer if the code path was not executed after 6 months use in production and test: We know that, with a very high probability, the code path was created either by mistake (human factor) or intentionally for some behavior that is no longer expected from our software. To continue the Fence metaphor, regarding Sensenmann: After 6 months, we know about the Fence that 1) it has no role to play in keeping the stuff out that we want out (that was all done by other fences that were had contact with an animal at least once) and 2) that it might have been used to keep out flying elephants or whatever, but no such being was observed in the last 6 months (at least the fence made no contact with it, which it then should have!) and probably went away.

That said, having a human in the loop is probably a good idea.
For me the keyword there is "pivot", not AI. My current expertise will continue to be needed, and having better understanding on how AIs work and can be used probably will be able to do my current work better.

Maybe even take a step forward and learn how to run AIs, performance, monitoring , scripting and other things that I do for other systems. Or some high level abstraction on how to feed them with specialized information.

But pivoting, as in leaving all behind and focus on just this, that doesn't seem a good choice at an age not so far from retirement.

At least, not at the current stage of development. If the whole landscape is totally different in a couple of years because we are reaching right now a technological singularity, the best option may be different.
Yeah I relied on that over heating to occur when pressing Ctrl for too long :D

Absolute pitch is a curse for musicians. It's not even an asset unless you are a piano tuner or a transcription professional of some sort. Not many conductors have it. Only a handful of the great musicians in history, from classical to jazz to pop happened to have AP. It's a parlor trick. And many musicians thought to have perfect pitch actually were just great recognizing pitches - pitch memory - which is different from perfect pitch. I can recognize pitches with a ~50% accuracy just because I can either recall the note, or bend my vocal chords as if I would start singing the note and, from pure muscle memory, say "this is probably an E".

Absolute pitch basically spoils the musician's ability to deal with varying pitch and musical temperament[1] situations and instruments. It can drive them nuts, ie if given a C to sing but actually have to detune or transpose it on the fly. It's also detrimental for anyone's ability to purely enjoy music. _Relative pitch_ on the other hand is so much more important. Absolute pitch in fact can mess with your relative pitch, as C and Ab are just that C and Ab, not a minor 6th.

Also, a good sense of being in tune when playing with others is, obviously, fundamental but also a relative, not absolute, in essence. Knowing you are playing in tune, not perfectly pitched, is the asset needed by bowed string players. Relative pitch, not AP, is an asset for someone who needs to sight sing on pitch - just listen to your tuning fork and find that C or Ab.

Music is not a perfect craft, it's not about being digitally precise. Making music is not about frequencies, or hitting absolute hertz. Even pitch itself is not "perfect", it's a flawed system that people, in part for the sake of standardization, settled upon. Pitch is a size that does not fit all. So why would anyone be proud of have frequencies memorized?

SD is known to easily be able to generate this type of thing in the 1.5 model without being trained on explicit images of children. I imagine we will see a court case in the next few years.

Glad you enjoyed!

Could you elaborate on 'start from a solution and keep expanding it'? I thought of it more like checking the field for certain patterns that tell if it can't be solved and generating fields until one passes that check.
If the young are driving iPhone adoption there could be good reasons for it. I don't think the culture battle is winnable here.

Android doesn't really offer something iOS/iPhones lacks. The iPhone has matured and Apple has all bases covered with their ecosystem.

If there's feature parity why wouldn't you just get the desirable option? People want a repeatable experience and iPhones offer this because of obvious reasons, a few devices vs thousands with android.

Apple is perceived as the premium brand while being affordable, when you're young at least this matters a lot.
It is cheaper then the local pass they can get (by 15+€ per month).

It's not that the local pass is cheaper for them, it's that they use the transportation network so little that buying single tickets on demand is cheaper.

Which makes this whole argument kinda pointless.

I think they believe the 49€ ticket is an attempt to try to make driver stop using the car and use the public transport instead. But this isn't exactly the goal here.
My grampa was a ham radio guy and he told me a lot of things. I was really amazed by shortwave and how radio could travel long distances by bouncing off the ionosphere. He also gave me a shortwave radio and I remember tuning into weird stations that would just say numbers in a funny voice ("numbers stations"). He even had a ham radio in his car and could dial phone numbers remotely through it.

I never really got into ham, I'm still not much of a radio person (I prefer wired) but I still had fun playing with RTL-SDR; listening to my car's tire pressure monitors and various other things in the ISM band. Antennas are still fairly spooky magic to me, though.

We can get rid of a whole percent in emissions by giving up nothing important, and you think it's not a regulation that the government should pass?! What should the threshold for a regulation to pass, in your opinion? Should it cut single-handedly emissions by 2% on its own? 5%? 10%? 50%?
Most places that recommend llama.cpp for mac fail to mention https://github.com/jankais3r/LLaMA_MPS, which runs unquantized 7b and 13b models on the M1/M2 GPU directly. It's slightly slower, (not a lot), and significantly lower energy usage. To me the win not having to quantize while not melting a hole in my lap is huge; I wish more people knew about it.
> If the high-inflation period had ended in the first half of 2022 as you said, then the 12-month rate would already be back to normal. It's not.

It would be absent in the first release in which the high inflation period was 12+ months in the past. That would be the release covering June 2023; the most recent release. covers March 2023.

Kind of weird that you’d answer “in which month would the high inflation ending in Jun 2022 be just part of the baseline prices and not a factor in the 12-month trailing increase?” with some answee that is March 2023 or earlier, and not June 2023.

I was hoping to spark a conversation about this approach as no such thing was mentioned in the article even though it should be possible to do.

The whole point of these comment sections is to have a discussion. If the point of this site was just to read articles there wouldn't be a comment section.
i'd argue in a different direction: if sudo barks a scary unknown message at me, i'd avoid using it altogether and just use su, which is the opposite of what people should be nudged to do.
Great report! But I missed some discussion on the role workplace bullying may have contributed to mental deterioration of the pilot. At time of the crash, I remember reading some reports he was mocked by colleagues due to working as a flight attendant before becoming a pilot. IIRC they even nicknamed him "Tomato Andy", after the red uniform of flight attendants used by the company.

I don't see why it would be that shocking. 5 to 7% of males are infertile. 3% of women are gay. Together that's nearly 10% of the 17 million population.

That presents a sizable use case for a married couples. And aren't really issues that can be readily addressed.

The Netherlands also has different attitudes towards child rearing. About 40% of children are born to unmarried women and 15% are raised by single parents.
Definitely an improvement over the real thing, in this case.
Why not port https://github.com/Duncaen/OpenDoas to rust instead?

If the goal is security, then there is more to it than just using a memory safe language. Otherwise the result of this, possibly unwittingly, seems performative.
I'm frankly amazed at how dogmatic the argument around gas stoves is. How does this happen? How have people been educated about an issue like this so quickly?
I'm not comfortable handing all my personal and financial stuff over to another business
As a WA resident, we also see weeks of subzero temperatures every year. And we've had power outages that can last a few days (if you're lucky) to multiple weeks (rare but not unheard of). Knowing that I have natural gas as a backup source of heating my house is great, and I've had to use it multiple times already in the last 3 years.

Having a backup method of ensuring my pipes don't freeze and my family is (mostly) comfortable is great. But if you're an electricity purist who hates cheap, available natural gas for some reason, enjoy sitting in the cold while your house destroys itself. Or spend thousands of dollars more on a device that BURNS GAS to run your electric furnace anyway
Induction cook tops are considerably more efficient at getting heat into the cookware then gas stoves are.
Chesterton's Fence is a reminder to actually get up, walk over to the fence and skim the multiple labels and notes the builders left there - because the big problem is usually someone looking at a thing that came before them, and assuming they understand what it was for, without bothering to actually check it.
I think about this a lot. It makes sense, on an individual level, to optimize your ability to interview, so that you can maximize your own results. However, it's crazy to me how frequently companies urge potential applicants to improve their own ability to interview. If a company is aware that they are missing out on good applicants due to how they conduct interviews, they should improve their interview process.

I don't see how wanting the applicant pool to improve interview skills is beneficial for anyone involved. It just leads toward reducing the signal to noise ratio of the interviewing process, leading to increased time wasted sifting through the noise.
I highly recommend the podcast It Could Happen Here, they are good for bursting such bubbles. Last update they had on Myanmar is here: https://omny.fm/shows/it-could-happen-here/the-junta-s-sham-... (or anywhere else you can find podcasts).
It was more a matter of how misinformation malignantly spreads I believe.

I had to see the only available PCP to see anyone else. This automatically prompted medical releases that, even if unethical, would have still made everything technically legal. If it was an emergency room trip, there were always the same two or three physicians there, so they all became aware of me from the first couple of episodes and could warn any specialist they referred me to see.

Same deal with laboratories and radiological facilities. When you've got only one or two options in town, they have your consent to release PHI by default if you ever want the results interpreted, and their interpreting physician can just accompany the report with a courtesy call to the receiving provider about a suspected diagnosis.
IIRC the landing would have been a failure too without Neil Armstrong's skill as a pilot under pressure
Thank you very much for your work. As someone who constantly struggle to get music theory as an adult (mostly lack of practice I know, but sometimes life takes over) having as many different resources as possible really helps.
Have you used serverless for anything in production before?
Yes, maintaining a fork means that you're explicitly taking on the maintenance burden from that point on, and are on your own in terms of updates.

That's a reasonable commitment to ask for if you're poking around in implementation details.
Oh, for sure on the SQL part. I do like being able to auto generate join tables and such, though!

You should consider spending less time on youtube viewing conspiracy theories or at least don't bring them here. Apollo 11 left a reflector on the moon that we have used since to accurately measure the distance between the Earth and moon since. A good rule of thumb to avoid promoting poorly sourced material is to never use a youtube video to "prove" anything that doesn't have a more legitimate primary source.
I think; for many of us: It's quite fascinating to see a debate between the benefits of electricity and gas in 2023.

Energy technology is so weirdly unevenly distributed. This debate could have taken place in 1940 - with the exact same arguments.

As a hiring manager I want to advise folks this kind of offer can be counter productive.

When being better prepared for an interview results in being more of a group and less of an individual it plays into a) getting stereotyped, b) being lost in the noise. I acknowledge that there are places so systematic this idea might beget “better” results (is working at such a place really better in a real sense?). However the clear majority of hiring managers I know care a lot about their teams and use great care in adding to them.

Personally, I have always prized complementary experiences and skills (incrementally improving the team) to formulaic qualifications — in other words, differences. Being a “highly prepared” candidate probably deducts from my likelihood of hiring someone. I don’t have to look far to see people I’ve hired have been successful (including here as YC founders).

I’m sure this kind of idea has its place, but I would try to be as balanced with the presentation of it as possible, and clear on where it works and where it doesn’t, with the best interests of candidates (and hiring organizations) in mind.
Wow how generous you and your brother are. Your family is so incredibly lucky to have you both.
> Anyone can learn to draw, and it's not hard.

Repeating an assertion more times doesn’t make it true.

> If you want to create, you can and will learn to draw.

“Drawing”, even when it comes to imagery, is far from the only form of creation, and, even if it were, will is not determinative of capacity.

But, yeah, I mean, people have said similar things about basically evey new means of creation ever.

These products do exist, and while the price is still high I do like the idea. Then you can do high power cooking with a more modest electrical draw, because the stove draws high power from its local batteries and charges them more slowly via a wall outlet. This allows installation even when high power wiring is not available.
Normally perfect pitch is thought to only be able to be picked up during a critical period in early life. However, there was a fascinating study that showed that an anti epileptic/bipolar drug (sodium valproate) can reopen the window to gain this skill!

I wonder how much more difficult it is to extend a unibody chassis vs the old body on frame.
Induction cooktops generally require 220-40 outlets, so I get that a battery might be a way around that, I doubt it would work for code however.

A household battery made out of old Tesla batteries sounds like a good idea, but I think someone has thought of it.
We’ll muddle through. At any rate, the point is to focus on low hanging fruit —- target high emitters, an electric stove powered by a coal plant is worse than a natural gas stove.
hey thanks so much for trying things out! I really, really appreciate it. Totally hear you on the search experience. I currently use Meilisearch (https://www.meilisearch.com/) for the search backend. I love how crazy fast it is and generally have had a nice experience running the system myself. But I totally hear you on the semantic search side of things.

I am definitely hoping / planning to offer that unified "view this product across stores" feature — that would be killer. Just have to work on the ML stuff to get that sufficiently good and get the data in a good spot. The CozoDB thing looks very promising, will check it out! Thanks again
I feel you. I started learning piano at 25, and even though I messed with guitar during the middle school, I feel like everything takes ages to learn and master.

I thought music as a set of languages is way easier than it happened to be. A CS degree and passion for linguistics doesn't convert into fluency as fast as I wished, and now I see why I'd need 4 years of music college + 4 years of an actual degree.

No hits for "ladder" or "frame" but an important though less direct cause is simply the difficulty of stretching modern cars.
I literally don’t know what it means. Does serverless just mean doing it locally? Like an on premises cluster of GPUs in the IT closet?

If you are doing it on someone else computer, and that computer is a big server farm, I find it odd to use the term “serverless.” And by odd I mean literally the exact opposite of serverless.
Your proposed process is exactly the wrong way around. You'll end up keeping dead code just because it has tests, and delete code that's still used in prod just because it happened to be untested.
