My problem with Net Neutrality is what is its the "wrong way" to deal with a pesky problem: entrenched local monopolies.

Net Neutrality is "oking" monopolistic behavior, under a narrow set of stipulations. I don't trust Comcast any farther than I could throw their CEO.

I just don't see this ending well. I think the alternatives: expanding access, increasing competition, improving technology and promoting innovation, busting oligopolies at the state and municipal level is the way to go.

This is my opinion, so feel free to disagree. There are definite upsides to net neutrality right now for "here and now" problems, but it's not a good long term solution IMHO.
> EVs are most energy efficient at slower speeds (varies by temperature, but in my experience, in the range of 30-45 mph) whereas ICEs are most efficient at highway speeds (65 mph). The energy consumption at different speeds varies enough that in-car range estimates can be off by a lot.

IMHO, this is the best thing about a hybrid/phev. You can (and your car generally will) use what's best for the conditions and tends to run the ICE at high efficiency when it runs.

> Some PHEVs can recharge the EV battery from the gas engine; others only can recharge the EV battery from being plugged in. Check before buying.

There are several hybrid designs. The style that Toyota calls 'hybrid synergy' style is probably the best. The ICE is directly connected to motor one, the wheels are directly connected the larger motor two, and motor one and two are connected via a planetary gear. This allows for several paths for power to the wheels: the ice can power them alone through the gears, motor 1 can run as a generator and the electricity can power motor two which turns the wheels, and many combinations. Also, electricity from the battery can power one or both motors. This is also somstimes called eCVT, as the effective ratio between the ICE and the wheels depends on what the motors are doing. It's not exclusive to Toyota, Ford and FCA also use this arrangement in some if their hybrids.

My PHEV has a pretty lame battery only range, but the highway range on a single tank is the best of any car that uses gas that I've driven while it also has the smallest tank. It's a 2013 though, and I think PHEV battery only range has incresed in the last decade? Personally, I'm a terrible person and only got a PHEV for the carpool stickers, but it's hard to get rid of it because the fuel costs are so low and it goes two years between oil changes at low usage. When I replace it, it will probably be for another PHEV that can act as a backup generator for my well (240v@30amps, some of the hybrid f-150s will do that, but I want my trucks to be single cab, and I'd rather a smaller truck too)
I'm not sure that will work. The intention here is to move the needle on what's acceptable.

If fines grow/shrink, then people will think "what are ways to get around these fines?" or more commonly "Are these fines larger than the profit I would earn?". Even if fines are increased for now, that's a temporary thing, and not everyone would care.

A CEO doesn't personally care about extra fines costing the company; that can be a "calculated risk". CEOs are very well paid and fines are generally an inconvenience. But these people cannot buy time; threaten to take away years of their life, and see how the underlying value structures change.
I don't like that my first thought is, "Was this generated by AI". There is something about the way it looks that reminds me a lot of AI generated videos circling the web.
Avoiding forfeiture works by assuming a rational frame of mind . Someone bent on revenge or societal harm or will not be stopped because the money will be forfeit .

Perhaps bail should be denied then as courts have the power to do , but setting it high is not that different from denying .
> I really hope that pushes them to be less apathetic than Gen X

I'm Gen X, I do take issue with your wide sweeping claim that we're apathetic with regards to workers rights. The current wide ranging strikes and support for workers rights within the UK are being driven by folks from the Gen X age group.
Fully agree. Compression in many cases removes the ability to diff easily, however. In a large dataset where, in terms of size, 1% of the original data undergoes changes, or new data the size of 1% of the original dataset is added, I think compressing does not compare with just deduplicating the unchanged 99% in terms of storage, but when speed is the #1 factor, the discussion is more nuanced. It might be interesting to have a combination of deduplication and better compression of the changes, in some form, to get the optimal tradeoff. Repo sizes in ML these days are high, I'm curious which repository compression techniques are being evaluated and deployed.
>Still, along Southern roads, the blankets of untouched kudzu create famous spectacles. Bored children traveling rural highways insist their parents wake them when they near the green kudzu monsters stalking the roadside. “If you based it on what you saw on the road, you’d say, dang, this is everywhere,” said Nancy Loewenstein, an invasive plants specialist with Auburn University.

This was my experience as a child. We'd drive by groups of huge pines completely engulfed by kudzu and my mother would tell me it grew so fast you could see it grow with your own eyes. Scary stuff, I imagined the entire country overtaken by kudzu someday.

It's absolutely possible to keep the pressure off while earning money from a hobby.
1) Sakurai and Dirac's textbooks on quantum mechanics.

2) Axler's book on linear algebra. That's when I started to think in terms of vectors as more than the typical "magnitude and direction" concept you are used to in UG physics. It took many years, but I'm finally beginning to apply this to more advanced topics.

3) Concurrency in Action, by Anthony Williams. The training in multithreading aside, that motivated a deeper interest in things like how caches worked or atomics for someone without a CS background like myself. I haven't finished Three Easy Pieces yet, to my eternal shame as I read this thread, but that might also be added on this list by the time I'm complete.

4) On the right-hemisphere side of the brain, books such as Christopher Clark's "Sleepwalkers", Jonathan Smele's treatment of the Russian Civil War, and Richard Thornton's "Odd Man Out" on the Korean War have been useful in teaching me to dig deeper than the standard narrative when looking at history. I'm looking forward to Christopher Goscha's book on Dien Bien Phu and James Howard-Johnston's recent drop on the great final war of classical antiquity in the 7th Century, in a similar vein: both are out, just haven't gotten the chance to digest them yet. Also, Plutarch's Parallel Lives. They aren't "history" in the sense that we know it, but they do teach you that, yes, the lives of famous ancient figures do have lessons that can and should apply to you.

I don't think life has any meaning. People can make themselves believe that it does for a moment, a lifetime or never. But in the end we are all just striving to taste a bit of lifes sweetness. That's all.
I don't know the answer to that.

But what I do know is that if the Daily Mail is willing to put quotes from me in their articles from throwaway tweets, I'd say that their credibility is very low as a publication.
There is lead too in some, but even if it all somehow teleported out of the module and directly into the soil (as opposed to this never happening) it would be 10% as much as was already in the soil naturally before leaded gasoline was a thing.
What on earth? You're still free to enjoy your hobbies as you see fit. Just because someone out there makes a hustle out of it doesn't mean you have to.
I'm at a cross roads because I'm trying to sort out an intern program.

On one end, I don't want to work too hard now that I'm old. However, I don't have to work too hard as I worked crazy hard for a long decade with massive growth and discipline saving.

When I reflect on interns, I want to hire people that are willing to suffer for the craft. I feel it is morally wrong to encourage a low key lifestyle in the young as it wastes potential.

At core, the question I'm asking is how to find people that desire greatness in life.
A lot of people do, primarily because you'll otherwise miss so much, and relying on recommendations leads to an echo chamber ultimately.
I designed games for fun for most of my life. Now that I design games as part of my day job, it’s sort of lost its joy a little. In my free time now, I’m writing (Eg, a substack about writing) or doing other things, and generally avoiding designing games

I’m writing, but I’d rather avoid becoming a full time writer because of that dynamic

I think it’s better to let your hobbies continue to be hobbies

You are mistaking qualia and the experience of said qualia. Chalmers is asking why is there experience at all. I am not talking about memories, feelings, emotions or what have you. The question is why is there someone to observe those qualia in the first place?

Big Tech is built on open-source handouts.

And open-source being built on Big Tech's research and models doesn't mean it relies on them. See: the many papers published by Standford and co. which rival OpenAI's research, RedPajama (https://www.together.xyz/blog/redpajama) which rivals LLaMa. And these are built with open alternatives, there'd be more motivation without.

Big Tech has the advantage of compute and resources, but it's probable that open-source has the advantage of research. Since companies may have a few very talented individuals, but open-source has way more people and includes academia.

At one point, I tried to figure out what the recommended way to do OOP in Lua was, and if the method I'd come to use was alright. After some searching around, I came to the conclusion that every resource does it differently. I've made games in Pico-8 as well, and use something I suppose you'd call factory functions rather than what the author does here. I gave up worrying about it.

Not necessarily; certainly traditionally Linux tended to merge things when it's "good enough" whereas BSD tended to merge things when it was "rock solid". There's something to be said for both approaches and both have their own advantages and disadvantages.

These days Linux tends to be a bit conservative though, and it's not the same project it was 20 years ago.

Theodore Ts'o posted something interesting on this a few years ago:

P.S. There is yet another example of "Worse is Better" in how Linux
had PCMCIA support several years before FreeBSD/NetBSD. However, if
you ejected a PCMCiA card in a Linux system, there was a chance (in
practice it worked out to be about in 1 in 5 times for a WiFI card, in
my experience) that the system would crash. The BSD's took a good
2-3 years longer to get PCMCIA support, but when they did, it was rock
solid. Of course, if you are a laptop user, and are happy to keep
your 802.11 PCMCIA card permanently installed, guess which OS you were
likely to prefer --- "sloppy but works, mostly", or "it'll get there
eventually, and will be rock solid when it does, but zip, nada, right now"?*

I guess it's just because 2D printing is not a "sexy maker" type of thing that tends to attract attention. There's plenty of open-source stuff in the 3D printing space, however.

That said, people have RE'd the printhead protocols and used them outside of their original printer:

and there's also lots of patents (of which many are already expired, e.g. https://patents.google.com/patent/US20010045967 ) that document much of what's necessary. Besides the printhead itself, controlling the X/Y axes is easily doable with existing (open) knowledge from the 3D printing/CNC world.

I'm not generally afraid of death because I think of myself as lucky to have been alive at all.

It's not always easy to feel lucky like that, but it ought to be. A bigger question is: why don't we all feel lucky to have been alive, every moment of the day? In any situation of life and any circumstance, isn't it awe-inspiring that we're experience this slice of life in an uncaring universe? That we're being and not un-being? But for most of us 99.999% of the time we don't feel that way.
For a comprehensive dissection of why that advice is shit, highly recommend "So Good They Can't Ignore You: Why Skills Trump Passion in the Quest for Work You Love", by Cal Newport.

I believe they were just expressing their general frustrations with the hustle culture and how it’s geared towards everything in life.
Plants, bugs, and fish are all "beings" despite having varying degrees of consciousness and ethical allowability-of-harm. But fine. Whatever, my bad. Replace "being" with "entity" and my question still stands.
I agree. Realistically housing, medical care, and a few other basic necessities aren’t there. And farming the way we do is blasting the earth. We still have a way to go. But the nobility of exploitation and a life of pointless toil will likely persist without some serious dislocations in society. It’s possible AI will bring those about. But as a society we don’t let go of our prisons easily.
Lol. That you're unironically lumping LLMs in the same category as all that is chef's kiss.

Consider that your BS barometer needs a good recalibration, I'll just leave it at that.

Interesting that the article didn't provide more details on the timing. Anyone who's worked at a McDonald's, or any major fast food, knows that food lives and dies by the timers. Nuggets are one of those things that require being rested after they are cooked and before they can be served. The holding drawers should be set at a food safe temperature that is also safe to serve and eat.

My guess since McDonald's USA was not found liable is because they do have the proper procedures for cooking and resting before serving in place. This franchise just happened to not be following the procedure. Which unfortunately is common during busy periods.
I get this as well. So strange. My guess would be that it generates a response and then a subsequent filtering step is flagging it for some reason. Maybe related to suicide?

Yeah, they're professionals, they churn out content constantly. I'm willing to bet that you can write 500-1000 words in your native language in the same time about any topic.

How difficult do you think it would be to implement such a system in pure python?

This is neat, but it still leverages a lot of shell commands, ie ssh, find, mkdir etc..
We may never know the actual reason, but we can speculate, and I'm sure reality is somewhere between the extremes.

The published story is that S400 systems would be able to repeatedly profile F-35 low-observable aircraft. Eventually a probability model could be created from all of these radar returns. Turkey claims that no data would be sent back to Russia, but that was up for debate.

I'm sure there's an element of truth to the above story, but it's not the full one. My take is Turkey does seem to make NATO nervous with Erdogan's rise to power and becoming a dictatorship. Imagine if F-35s were sold to Turkey, then Turkey left NATO. Russia and China would _love_ to examine them up close (likely in exchange for free or heavily discounted arms).

That's just speculation though. There are professional military analysts with more informed opinions than mine.
I monetize my hobbies for the tax deductions

Just a tiny bit of revenue like 5 years after lets you take tax deductions for consumptive spending related to things you’re interested in

More accurately it shields you from adverse outcomes in the future audit, since you can report whatever you want its more about winning an audit if you get picked

Might as well form an LLC for every niche you spend money on, damn near everything is tax deductible

Not tax advice, consider everything here apocryphal, YMMV

It has been for a long time. Where do you think bsdgames came from? But really I ran the smacx demo from ports [1] on a lark when I was at Yahoo and it worked. I think that was maybe sometime in 2010, but I can't say for sure; the port was marked expired in 2005, but Yahoo's process to run packages from ports was manualish --- you would ask and someone would build it and then it would stick around installable forever more or less... so it probably had been built while the port was alive.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronet

Synchronet is a BBS that can use telnet instead of MODEMS. You use this terminal program here: http://www.syncterm.net/

This is the BBS software: http://www.synchro.net/

This is a BBS List: http://www.synchro.net/sbbslist.html

Yeah it is kind of like Discord or IRC for chats, but it is also like Hacker News for message bases in that you read one post at a time.

Dark Avenger copied the SYSOP login information to a GIF file, which the hacker downloads and logs in as the SYSOP to steal the password list or do anything. The Apple BBS people in the Apple lab did not have permission from the dean to run a BBS and the PC Lab had permission to run a BBS. So the Apple lab got the Dark Avenger virus to infect the PC BBS in WWIV by using a PKZIP exploit to replace the BBS.EXE file with an infected one. I only heard about it later when a friend had one of the Apple people confess to her that he used the Dark Avenger virus on the PC BBS.

There is a list of BBS archives, mostly DOS and OS/2 stuff here: http://archives.thebbs.org/ra102a.htm

I heard of a Python library that lets you write BBS Doors/Games in Python but can't remember the name of it.

Anyway I wanted to make a few BBS Doors using the Python library. Usually it is COM IO using FOSSIL drivers and the like. But there doesn't seem to be that much of a market for it.

BBSing is undead, they still exist in telnet form, but the dial-up MODEM experience is almost gone.

Cheers!
