California is a far bigger state in both population and area. Much of that area is also uninhabited, but power lines cross it. Many are quite old and not well maintained, and either start fires or are subject to other climate issues (fires, snow, high winds, etc). It’s a more challenging environment, plus PG&E is basically incompetent.

Github has deleted Iranian / Russian / etc. Repos before purely for political reasons. GitHub belongs to Microsoft, and Microsoft has a stake in OpenAI. Seems like a reason to me.
Eliminating gas piping and venting will make it easier.

I just priced a gas water heater and a heat pump water heater in a commercial setting. $4500 for gas with all venting and piping requirements included. $2750 for heat pump water heater, which should also have lower operating costs.

C# is a language designed by Microsoft and is often used in business applications and is supported on many platforms, including mobile and IOT.

It can be used on Linux, Apple, IOS, Android and can even run on a raspberry pi (ARM).

The dotnet (Framework part is the old windows only version) is just the runtime engine of C# / F# and Visual Basic.

So to answer your question, if it is worth it to learn, it's a good and easy language to learn object oriented programming and has very good tooling available, you can either use vscode (free) or jet brains rider (payed) on Linux or Mac and for windows you also have the option for visual studio community edition (free).

But in general pick a language and stick with it for a while, whichever language you pick to start with doesn't matter that much. The art of programming is almost the same in every language and syntax doesn't matter much.

The Fed has stress tested for duration since Dodd-Frank. The unsophistication of SVB’s duration simulations was specifically flagged by supervisors ex ante.

Subjecting SVB, Signature and First Republic to LCR requirements would have thrown up early red flags. (You’re partly correct in that the definition of liquid assets is too broad: Treasuries of all kinds get equal weight.)

Good. But make sure people can get good electricity for their homes. Can’t have buildings swap gas heating for heat pumps run on coal energy.

As for the cost of heat pumps and electricity: it’s not expensive. My new pump that heats my whole home (through radiators and in-floor water circuits) plus contains a large hot water tank cost $6k and will last 15 years or so. It has a COP of about 3 and I pay around 0.10 per kWh of electricity. Total electricity bill is around $2500 per year.

(Main body) Size matters a lot. That 7m estimate above is with a solar array unfurled and is much larger than the main body, which is about 3.2m x 1.6m x 0.2m[0]. These will burn up in the atmosphere, and actually are designed to do so.

Are you afraid of airplanes flying overhead? Probably not. These don't burn up in the atmosphere and when they fall they do a ton more damage than satellites that don't. A big reason you're not afraid is because the chance of you (or any person) being hit is pretty small because the object is so small compared to the potential falling area. Now we're talking about objects that are significantly smaller than airplanes and with a potential "falling area" (if somehow something doesn't burn up) is magnitudes larger and into an area that is basically empty (humans don't even occupy 15% of the surface).

You shouldn't be worried. Even if parts of these things were hitting the ground they wouldn't be that dangerous just due to the statistics of being hit. Odds get even better when we talk about typical orbits.

200-300% efficient is what a very bad heat pump would do under ideal conditions. Good heat pumps have a coefficient of performance above 3 for temperatures above freezing (and above 4 for only mildly chilly outdoor temperatures), and still well above 2 at temperatures around 15°F/-10°C.

My 10 year old apartment has a heat pump rated for a CoP of 2.3 at a temperature of 17°F/-8°C, which is actually below the record low outdoor temperature for this area. This isn't some exotic new equipment or a model designed for cold climates; it's what was cheap and mainstream a decade ago.

Funny and sad to see a lot of old solved problems getting rediscovered because of novel technology and "generational amnesia." It's like how every crypto guy basically just rediscovered modern finance and the reason for its rules and regulations.

In the conditions where electricity is out for several weeks, transportation between your home and a community shelter may also be unreasonable.
But is that selection bias relevant here? The tweaks we're comparing against are not lethal ones. The category is genetic spread among living humans, so mutations in living children should be the correct number to use as a baseline.

It's true that that selection bias exists, but so do a hundred other kinds of selection bias in earlier steps. As long we we're not looking at those steps, and any bias in them is already factored in to our number, we don't need to worry about those details.

The only known condition for hearing one's eyeball move is a 3rd window somewhere in the inner ear, so there's no meaningful differential diagnosis. I received a formal diagnosis by an otolaryngologist (via high-resolution CT of the superior canal) and audiology but I already knew the conclusion.

I could get brain surgery and I'm "a good candidate" for it, but do I really want a surgeon cutting a large hole in the side of my head, jacking up my brain, and then packing my superior canal with my spare tissue*?

There is some good evidence that children whose first language is tonal (e.g. chinese) develop perfect pitch at much higher rates than those whose is not (e.g. english). This strongly suggests that at least if you catch it at the right developmental stage, it is learnable.

I haven't seen anything equivalent for learning later in life though, although ear-training exercises clearly make your estimation better if you are disciplined about it, but that is relative, not absolute.
That's partly why they are talking about Balto here. Balto's genes are readily accessible.

> Only two days ago I chose to rewrite a chunk of code simply because I couldn’t call a private function that did precisely what I needed.

It may have done what you needed in the current version of your library, but just look at it from the perspective of the library author. If they ever want to refactor, or maybe remove, that private function, it would break a lot of people's code. And even if it were marked private or deprecated, it would still break a lot of people's code. You could say "but if your code gets broken it's your own fault" and yes you're right, but it wouldn't stop those people from loudly complaining to the author.
That's absolutely false. I don't even spent €9 most months on public transit in Berlin, but at €9, I'd get it and probably use public transit more often (which is the point). There's no way I'd buy a €49 ticket. I primarily bike and drive, though I drive so little that I only have to fill up my tank every 2-3 months.

The other big assumption here is "We'll have backdoors in AI so humans can shut it off/attack it"

The big problem I see with this line of thinking is the thinking that humans are going to be the primary attackers of AGI systems, and not other AGI systems. I would suspect and AGI would soon become the most attacked system on the planet, and to survive those attacks and remain useful would have to quickly iterate the weaknesses out of the system.

I'm not cherry picking, I'm merely describing the status quo in a place of the world that can be pretty extreme compared to NY.

You are talking about air source heat pumps. There are actually variants of that technology that work fine at -20 and below. -20 is actually quite far above absolute zero. The challenge is not that there isn't enough energy but finding and pumping liquids around that can absorb that "heat" and actually stay liquid. Efficiency indeed drops below zero. But it still works.

However, ground source heat pumps are not dependent on the air temperature at all and work anywhere you can get a decent temperature gradient from the ground. Which is pretty much anywhere except maybe on top of the arctic ice sheet in e.g. Antarctica.. Stick a few pipes in the ground and get them deep enough and you can have an nice cozy house pretty much anywhere that is not located on a few miles of ice. NY is perfect for that. No permafrost there and stable temperatures below ground throughout the year.

And again, they have been doing this for decades in places like Finland, Sweden, Norway, Greenland, etc. That's because this stuff works and is reliable and efficient enough. This is not some new kind of science fiction technology. Millions of households depend on this when it gets to minus 40C and below (about the same in C and F). And having lived in Sweden and Finland, I can tell you that they like their houses heated properly there and it really gets that cold up north. They don't use gas in houses there at all and never have. There are no gas distribution networks there. Oil based heating has been phased out in most places there a long time ago. But people forget that that stuff has to be trucked in and trucking anything in gets tricky when there's a few meters of snow on the roads. Heatpumps, resistive heating, district heating, and wood based stoves is pretty much all they use there. District heating is not common outside the more populated areas (i.e. most of the Arctic region) with the exception of the larger towns and villages.
Liability for self-driving cars is a topic long discussed and still not completely resolved. Take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-driving_car_liability for examples.

The only level 3 system in production (that I'm aware of, at least) is Mercedes', and they have liability while the car is driving itself. It shifts back to the driver 10 seconds (IIRC) after the system notifies the driver he/she must take over.

In peoples' defense, I think the problem in the vast majority of the US is that public transit is legitimately terrible and most of the US has been built up so that good public transit is difficult to build. I agree that public transit can be a good alternative to car travel, but the problem of marketing it in the US is that the current version of the product being marketed is, to put it bluntly, completely garbage. What really needs to be sold to people is investing in making public transit better instead of just building more roads, but that's a more abstract sales pitch.

I also think selling public transit as an alternative to having a car at all is perhaps too ambitious a target. But having to use a car less still has a lot of benefits for individuals and society as a whole without having to get public transit to the point where it can replace nearly all journeys.

There is a meta-meta situation surrounding really good software management.

You can knock up some code that say solves a specific business problem right now.
(meta:0)

But you need an environment that can take a new piece of code and deploy it and test it (meta:1)

how is that code running - this is shadingnfrom production monitoringninto QA and performance (meta:2)

Compare all the running code and its performance against the benefits of replacing code or going back to level 0 and just fixing a business problem (meta:3)

Then this death eater - meta 4 I think.

And to me this is why comments like "software needs to solve business problems" is naive - once you start using software you need more software to manage the software - it's going to grow till it consumes the business.

In Munich prices for monthly tickets currently range between 63€ and a whopping 243€. There, too, you will soon only need to pay 49€ per month, no matter how far you travel.
The presence of the expected artifacts such as the LEM descent stage, rovers, foot and rover tracks, and science packages all left just where the mission logs said they would be are certainly pretty suggestive.

At some point it starts to get as hard as just going to the damn moon.
