Runtime is whatever a programming language needs to support its execution, as per CS compiler theory.
Well, holy smokes, I thought electricity was cheap in the US.
You forgot:

- remove your clothes and wait in a freezing room for 30+ minutes

(Largely a compliance exercise to reinforce the social status hierarchy.)
Regardless, using electricity isn’t inherently clean. It’s a non sensical claim - electricity doesn’t have the capacity to be clean or dirty. It’s entirely dependent on how it was generated.
This is an awesome read, was trying to submit it.
This guy[1] ran a test on his home during last winter, and found that his mini split had a COP of around 1.5-2.5 down to -10C.

The data wasn't terribly correlated to temperature, though he didn't have a mini-shed for the outside unit to protect it from snow, so it probably had to defrost more often during the less-cold, snowy days.

FWIW here in Oslo, we've been using a mini split as the main heat in our home, where it's often -15C for long stretches during winter, and can get down to -25C. It's in the main livingroom, and we do supplement the upstairs bedroom with resistive foil floor heating during the coldest periods. Other than that it's doing great, and comparing the electricity bills with friends and colleagues who don't have a heat pump it's definitely helping a lot.

The tests are done using proprietary hard- and software, though it is generally made by biotech and not pharmaceutical companies.
Unfortunately, with the current trend of cheap electronics switching away from standard batteries and towards custom-sized, permanently soldered-in lithium cells (sometimes without the ability to recharge them - why this is still legal is beyond me [1]), you won't be able to keep doing that for long.

On the flip side, a lithium cell salvaged from such a device is going to be a lot more useful than a single-use coin cell if you can solder. There are readily available modules that will take any of these batteries and provide a charging port and an output with overcurrent and undervoltage protection, ready to be wired into anything capable of running on 3.7V [2].

For pretty standard specs, you should be able to look at any old heat pump

There have been many very good games made since N64 to be fair.

Command and Conquer series, Civilization series, Halo series, Zelda games, Pokemon games, Gran Turismo series, Metal gear solid series.

A huge number of creative game mechanics, graphical improvements, and deep rich lore and worlds to explore have been created in games. Some fantastic story driven games have been compared in artistic merit to Films and TV, and we're now seeing that acceptance with things like "The Last of Us" being turned into a hit show that was even almost scene-for-scene in the first episode.

Sure there a microtransactions and junk food style games for the lowest common denominator as cash grabs, but there are also deep, rich games made with love still.
>why do people do this

do what? write programming languages that you don't already know?
words have different meanings; the root sense of 'simple' is 'one-fold', that is, only having one layer rather than two or four, and that sense is still present in phrases like the spanish hoja simple, meaning 'one-ply' (toilet paper, for example), but it's had multiple meanings for thousands of years including 'mentally disabled', 'honest', 'harmless', 'pure', 'unadorned', and, as you point out, 'easy'

it's true that using a word with multiple meanings gives rise to ambiguity, and avoiding that by choosing a different word is desirable

unfortunately there isn't a better term for 'simple' in the sense of 'not possessed of much detail' or 'composed of very few parts'; saying 'non complex' doesn't really help because 'complex' is often used to mean 'difficult' for the same reason 'simple' is often used to mean 'easy'

except in hucksters' advertising brochures, i don't agree with your implicit assertion that all the polysemic complexity of 'simple' is merely historical, leaving only 'easy' as a live meaning; i think all the meanings i listed above except for 'harmless' have some currency today, even merely in english

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/simple#Adjective lists nine main meanings of which seven are current, though i admit i just added the 'easy' one myself; it wasn't listed previously (i think because of confusion induced by the polysemy of 'complicated')

Ask the Lebanese, I guess. They have electricity off more than have it on. Every house there has a generator and some have solar panels.
I use it at work and it clearly has strengths and weaknesses. My two use cases are initial research and generating prototype code.

I find it very helpful to ask a series of questions and see a number of examples to get a primer on what to expect with something. The main benefit over Google or going straight to the docs is I can start with my specific requirements. I then dig into the documentation to deepen my understanding. I can typically move forward with ChatGPT generating some code as a starting point.

It can be incorrect or out of date but combined with my experience I find myself being more productive with it.

A weakness I see is complex code requirements. It knows what it knows.

I note that you seem a little frustrated with vague or incorrect responses. It helps to tell ChatGPT the role it should play. It helps as well to instruct it to ask questions of you to improve the response. Personally I prefer to tell it keep its answers brief, I get less walls of text and I can narrow in on the specific answer I am after more quickly.
I was responding specifically to this bit: "Once it hits 0C the efficiency is very low, and by -10C is almost doing nothing at all." I've refuted that. If you want to discuss some more distant goalposts, I won't be able to offer firsthand evidence.
It’s also not actually what happens in the US either. The poster is lying for whatever reason, probably because making negative comments about healthcare is good for Internet points.
Americans already have heat pumps installed "air conditioning units"

Burning stuff is also loud, but resistive heating is mostly quiet other than fan noise and metal containers creaking as they heat up/cool down
I'm starting to see the allure of plain Lisp. All it has is functions and functions have names which convey a meaning. Plus some syntax for creating macros.

Now CAR and CDR don't convey a lot of meaning I agree. But that's just a matter of poor naming. They should (in my opinion) be called 'first' and 'rest', or something similarly meaningful and descriptive.

Of course short-hands and aliases are good for most often used functions. But I would prefer those to be aliases, with a proper descriptive name available as well.

And operator precedence, that makes code in a different language really hard to understand. Parenthesis make it explicit. Keep it simple. That makes code more verbose but then you can use macros to make it less so.
If you read the article, the headline is a confused mess.

He was putting other kid's faces on existing child porn using common face swap software, and distributed the modified stuff as if it was real, including details of the kids who the faces come from.

So, hes a pedophile who engaged in harming children within the definition of the law, not some guy who produced whole-cloth fictional victimless works using some sort of GPT model (ie, things we actually call AI; we do not call face swapping software AI).
Pretty sure you are living in a bubble.

Email is incredibly heavily relied upon and with great success. People get their pay receipts, their rental applications, notifications of mentions on social media, speeding tickets, music and gig notifications, reminders to get their pet to the vet, X-ray reports, prescription reminders and I could go on.

Not to mention the huge boom in email digests and blogs over the past 5+ years.

I haven't seen - _any_ businesses communication conducted over signal or WhatsApp - ever. I'm not saying it doesn't happen somewhere but it's certainly not common place. And telegram? I didn't even realise that still existed!
Homogenized hardware I assume, this is why iOS had so many photography Apps too.
> For example, one of the most senior executives at Goldman Sachs took out an $11.2 million mortgage with First Republic with no principal payments in the first 10 years and an interest rate below 3%, per Bloomberg.

This isn’t that odd as it depends on when this loan was given out. Regular schmoes were able to get 2.25% mortgages a year ago so giving a 3% interest only mortgage to rich people doesn’t seem that odd in the era of 0% interest.
> Android is quite popular in Europe and Asia.

...and Africa. Couldn't have gotten into mobile app development in my student days without cheap, readily available Android devices. It was also a great help that Android dev tools are accessible.
I posted another comment that did some analysis on fuel taxes and road spending (in the US).

One thing I’d like to point out is that a true comparison is very hard because heavy public vs private transit result in qualitatively different systemic outcomes that are hard to fully account for monetarily (one results in denser development with its own pros and cons vs dispersed development). And you definitely need to account for the personal costs of car ownership (the car, financing, depreciation, insurance, parking, gas) rather than just the government spending on roads when comparing against public transit.

Private transit taxes in aggregate do pay for most private transit spending but to me that is not as big of a deal as some make out. For starters those taxes are disproportionately coming from things like freight. Considering private transit costs + government spending vs public transit fares + government spending I don’t think the proportion coming from taxes vs OOP changes much, it’s just a different cost structure where some people (freight, gas guzzler drivers vs heavy transit users and high income people) pay proportionately more.

The payment problem is indeed a challenge. I think a big problem with public transit is that it’s really expensive and wasteful to halfass it; you’re better off in a lot of cases accepting a local optimum of little/no public transit than a small or medium amount that ends up being cost-ineffective. In a lot of countries like Germany, granted they are denser than the US (but comparable to Mass) even small towns have good rail or bus connections to transit hubs. That’d help a lot more than forcing someone in the boonies to pay for something they won’t benefit from (though I take issue with that framing as rural areas typically consume more spending than they receive unless they are wealthy suburbs (with wealth coming from the cities) vs urban areas, so if the project truly benefits the urban area economically, it will still help the rural folks).
It's not about blame, it's about making good decisions.
Yes the entire rendering API was based on Cairo.

There was an attempt to have Cairo use OpenGL but it was mostly unsuccessful and abandoned. Even if that worked the paradigms used are very different and would fight performant GPU usage.
The men came with axes and clubs. They cut the trees down and dragged them to the fire. The fire roared and crackled, and the smoke rolled up into the sky. The Joad family watched in horror as the orange grove was destroyed.

"Why are they doing this?" Tom asked.

"They're destroying the groves to keep prices high," Pa said. "They don't care about the trees or the people who work here. All they care about is money."

--The Grapes of Wrath

edit: this is the quote I was looking for at first

"...Did you ever hear of the Farmers’ Association?”

“Why, sure.”

“Well, I belong to it. We had a meeting last night. Now,
do you know who runs the Farmers’ Association? I’ll tell
you. The Bank of the West. That bank owns most of this
valley, and it’s got paper on everything it don’t own. So last night the member from the bank told me, he said, ‘You’re
paying thirty cents an hour. You’d better cut it down to
twenty-five.’ I said, ‘I’ve got good men. They’re worth
thirty.’ And he says, ‘It isn’t that,’ he says. ‘The wage is
twenty-five now. If you pay thirty, it’ll only cause unrest.
And by the way,’ he says, ‘you going to need the usual
amount for a crop loan next year?’ ” Thomas stopped. His
breath was panting through his lips. “You see? The rate is
twenty-five cents— and like it.”

“We done good work,” Timothy said helplessly.

“Ain’t you got it yet? Mr. Bank hires two thousand men
an’ I hire three. I’ve got paper to meet. Now if you can figure some way out, by Christ, I’ll take it! They got me.
But houses already have electricity. Banning gas just reduces coverage.
As other have said, this is more like AI augmented, not generated. So that is one factor against the guy.

Also, the way current models work is that they need to be trained on real data. It is really questionable if someone can make this kind of stuff with, say Stable Diffusion, entirely without any offensive material as training.

If they can actually do it and make these things without using any abusive material, then I think it is fair game. Nobody was harmed, nobody should care. What a person does in their private is none of anyone business if it doesn't affect anyone else.

iPhones leaned in to "computational photography" a long time ago. Eventually they added custom hardware to handle all the matrix multiplies efficiently. They exposed some of it to apps with an API called CoreML. They've been adding more features like on-device photo tagging, voice recognition, VR stuff.

I've found many "pure" breeds to be regrettably diminished, they look like the books say but they pay for it in some way. Shorter lifespans, health problems, mental problems, etc.

Out-crossing a purebred with something from a different style of dog can often produce much healthier pups than either parent. Great Danes and Collie make 3/4 sized, slightly skinny dane-like dogs that are shockingly robust and energetic and can live to 16+ in my experience (and that's as active working outdoor dogs).
Interesting! Do they use those everywhere throughout Firefox or only in special situations?

the primary benefit is for commuters, that is 2 rides per workday, 40 rides a month. so effectively 1.23€ per ride.

even as someone working from home, i go out at least 3-4 times a week, shopping, other errands, events, meet friends. two rides each time adds up to at least 30 rides a month.

3€ per ride only gets you 16 rides before you reach 49€. any semi regular user of public transport will reach that easily.
I wonder if things like CVS's minute clinic are any better for basic stuff vs. the hell of regular clinics.

The potential seems there: cash payments accepted, many convenient locations, possibly lower wait times.

Of course CVS is Aetna, for better or for worse.
I've seen this plenty of times, but maybe if was fixed in the last year or so. My issue was when trying to delete a Linux source tree that was git cloned on Linux onto a flash drive.

And yet I believe it is considered the capital of the modern world in some sense, isn't it? (My perception as someone who's never visited the NE US). You choose to live there, or at least chose to live there for quite a long time as you said, so there must be some reason.
Not true. That's a problem with the implementation, not the protocol. Elevators in my building run on electricity, and it has local backup generators. I think the solution is a better grid (including generators, electrical panels, and batteries).
If you actually had to pay for the methane leakage from having the interconnect, it would be cost prohibitive, even if they were legal.

I can't afford to eat out every meal, not with 3 kids at home. Unless the meal is $20/person I can do better myself at home, and even many of the expensive ones are disappointing compared to what I can do for a fraction of the cost. Good tools help me cook better.

Why can’t people make safety decisions for themselves? Many people will choose electric/induction stoves, or not rent an apartment with a gas stove. But many people do prefer it, and I don’t think it should be up to you or the government whether something is “good” for them or not.
Well you prove the point. Gas is necessary when the power is out.
For most of us it is cheap. I don't know what is going on in California, but they are not typical.
I did not make the list, I was replying to the list given.

None of those devices pull the rated amount continuous except may the car charger which can be adjusted for less draw / longer charge time if needed.

Simply scheduling car charing for overnight would eliminate any issue, even so there is plenty of headroom on a typical residential system.
> Then I have to question. Who is being influenced culturally by the US preference for iPhone?

I'm not sure how much the "US preference" plays in this, but in my country, the iPhone is the aspirational device. Apple hardware is, generally speaking.

OP definitely needs a more nuanced assessment of the US market, but its hard to ignore the influence it has on non-US consumers.
+1. And, it's in version control forever. It's not as if it entirely disappears. Like one of the sibling comments mentioned, I only rarely reject Sensenmann CLs.

That's worth explaining: it's automated code deletion, but the owner of the code (a committer to that directory hierarchy) must approve it, so it's rare there's ever a false deletion.
This is a pretty cool engine. 25hp is about 18.75 kW so a really good fit for a 15kW generator (sometimes marketed as "whole house" generators) its high RPM (typical of rotary engines) makes it a good match foundation for a turboprop engine. A pair of these driving ducted fan turboprop engines would give you an excellent long duration drone platform with good payload capacity.

My guess is the Army might be considering them as APUs (Auxiliary power units) on armored vehicles as this would give them long duration "sitting" capability without running the main power plant (but using the same fuel). Similarly bus style RVs could use them to run their in-vehicle electric gear (not a lot of bus RVs are designed for the "dry camping" or boon docking market but it would definitely work well for that.

The next thing they have to figure out I'm guessing is how to make them inexpensively (the Army won't care so much but I don't think the company would survive on just Army contracts).
I didn't make a "personal swipe". I assume you're speaking about this?

> But this will only take you from absolute noob to moderately competent junior.

I was referring to myself here, which I elaborated in the third paragraph.

> I say this from hard experience. At the start of my career, I thought I could learn everything I needed to know on the internet. I was wrong. Even if most of the technical details were there (they weren't) and correct (they aren't), in every career, your accomplishments are based on your personal relationships. Always. I can't emphasize this enough.

My comment was made in good faith.
It's not about bots it's a brazen money/user data grab. They don't want you to use search unless they have an account to track you with. What other website does that? Not Reddit or Google or Bing or HN or YouTube or GitHub or Twitch or Wikipedia. The bot argument they make is a facade.

OS class is not about Linux, its about OS theory. You learn the algorithms for priority queues and preempting tasks and even build a simple OS (depending on the class). Very little of it is about how IRL operating systems/kernels like NT or Linux work, though they did use some examples to demonstrate. Forking was more in Systems programming class, but that class was more about C, system calls, linking, and gdb. Not much time was dedicated to the syntax of shell scripts.
This ruling probably doesn't cover 100% fully artificially generated stuff.

Not this ruling but others do. In 2008 an Australian man was convicted of possessing child pornography for having sexually explicit depictions of characters from The Simpsons; Canada and the UK have seen a few convictions involving erotica based on (entirely fictional) anime characters.
