Unfortunately, despite panels and batteries getting cheaper every year, not every rural household has the financial means to access these solutions. I'm really excited about initiatives creating microgrids with peer-to-peer payment systems, like solshare: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v33ERl42VYM
well I suppose it depends what you define as the starting point but it's generally recognized it began in the Eocene epoch (55.8 million years to 33.9 million years ago)

Not sure how that's relevant to the sentence you quoted though. The Amazon rainforest has been largely savanna type ecosystems at various points in its history. Including quite recently (like 12kya)
I guess I could offer a few thoughts here, as I’ve been thinking about this for a while.

You say it’s for personal projects but if you care about marketing then I’m going to guess the projects are serious/ambitious enough.

In that case, as you build them, you’d probably first need to do some “marketing strategy” early on, then naming and branding, then some growth marketing/product design, then see how you would incorporate different types of analytics into the projects, then finally there would be a launch and running some campaigns and using the analytics methodically.

I’d say anything less than that would not really be any kind of methodical marketing. But people do get lucky with word of mouth sometimes.

So, basically, you could probably use a good amount of modern marketing skills.

The internet is, of course, full of options but it’s hard to filter through them.

Based on my watching this space for about 10 years, most of the one-person shops and small teams that do SEO and Wordpress websites will know very little about those things you’d need.

Maybe 1% of medium and large firms out there will work with that stuff in SaaS space but then they would likely be way too expensive for personal projects.

Which leaves you with two options IMHO, 1) to learn that stuff yourself (the path I took), or 2) to find a marketing/product/growth cofounder/advisor/consultant that has experiences in that niche, such as SaaS, for example.

Good luck

One of the most interesting things to me is the racists that insist that we should examine all demographic factors when trying to identify who the criminals are, but they shy away from the pure fact that violent crime is almost exclusively perpetuated by men. And yet, there are no calls from them for a restriction on male immigration.
Also these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Quark

They are basically a 486 pipeline with some Pentium instructions.

Unfortunately it seems Intel didn't realise that x86 without the PC legacy is worth little, so their attempts at non-PC x86 have mostly failed. On the other hand, "PC-on-a-chip" SoCs like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex86 have enjoyed more popularity.
>You even have open source superscalar RISC-V cores just publicly available on Github running on FPGAs with 8 wide decode. Large frontends are (relatively) cheap and easy, if you're not x86.

Which one? I know BOOM can technically go eight wide in so far as it's parametrizable but I suspect any BOOM backend which could support that much throughout would be a nightmare to instantiate on nearly any FPGA.
I would argue that introducing such concepts in easy to understand ways is the task of the IDE for such learning languages. E.g. Thonny does a great job of explaining how locals work during debugging by using a multi-window mode where each stack frame gets a separate window that shows just that function's code (with current statement highlighted) and its locals. It also takes care of recursion - you can easily see how every recursive call adds a new window, and each window has its own set of variables.

Yeah it is in the Rose family. Produces pomme fruit. In that fruit there are, quite likely, compounds that can prevent the progression of Alzheimer's.

These compounds are anti-inflammatory agents that may protect the blood-brain barrier and prevent inflammatory cell infiltration into the brain. The dried berries were ingested by six volunteers to demonstrate the safety of the medicine. Conclusion: The plant medicine was found to contain several compounds that may be of interest in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. The plant medicine was found to be safe.

The construction of MIR titles reminds me a lot of older Springer GTM and Grundlehren der Mathematischen Wissenschaften series titles. I have a number of Springer titles I've picked up over the years and the older printings were beautifully typeset and bound with very good paper. I try to find the older printings of Springer books when I can when chasing down a copy for my personal library.
There are a lot of great responses in this thread. One thought I had is to maybe set a goal to “release” like a week or even weekend from the time you start. Bang out the minimal viable product with a buddy and get your project into an alpha phase. You don’t need to openly share it but that milestone might help you to set a cadence of success that will keep you working on the project and meeting more future releases.

If you have a criminal record your chances of a legal immigration is drastically reduced.
Banishment needs to be brought back as a form of punishment. The 99% cannot let the 1% ruin it for everyone. We need penal colony Australia 2.0.
Call it what you like but the FCC decision-making is not democracy. They are at least three steps removed from the voters, write their own regulations, and are not really accountable to voters.

This is part of the independent agency problem in our scheme of governance. The better system would be for the elected legislature to actually write regulations. That's representative democracy rather than democracy but closer to accountability.
That's because the big change was moving from LSTM RNNs to Transformers. If you had tried to train a scaled-up RNN on GPT-3-level compute and data, it would have been a much better RNN, yes... and terrible compared to GPT-3, because the RNN scaling law is much worse and they are unable to make good use of context. See Kaplan et al 2020, key graph: https://gwern.net/doc/ai/nn/transformer/gpt/2020-kaplan-figu... (I'm not going to try to calculate it, but by 'terrible' I mean that the bent scaling law would give you, like, GPT-2 performance for GPT-3-level investment. Suffice it to say that the DL conversations would be a trifle different today if that had been what happened.)

All the other stuff has been largely minor polishes. For example, using tokens instead of characters? Nah. ByT5 works fine, as do very large context window approaches like Jukebox. Large BPE vocabs may be somewhat more efficient but the value is nothing like RNN->Transformer. A lot more training data? Doesn't matter if your model scaling law is bent because the model can't make use of more data meaningfully - it's not like it's overfitting to smaller amounts of data either, it's just underfitting everything. Structure? Irrelevant, the point of web scrapes is bulk and diversity. etc

Wikipedia shows 55 million, but this article https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/amazon-rainforest... reads at 2000 years old.

These are orders of magnitude different. Maybe they are using different definition or sub-regions.
I'm sure I have a lot of Ashkenazi in me. And of course I'm proud of my genes. And proud of my ancestors. I'm fine with people self-identifying as Jewish, or Black, or (myself) Read-headed. The risk is when other people put those labels upon you. When you label your tribe, you not only label yourself but also those who may prefer not to be labeled.
It's not racism and calling it that does a disservice to the issues of actual racism. Also, nobody says that. Police will always use correlation to predict criminality. You will never change that, but we can change the reason for the statistical correlation: poverty.

Male immigration is too profitable, so nobody with a voice would want to curb it.
Yes, it isn't fair that some people are taller than others, or more talented.

The way we account for that is is not by outlawing behaviors. Rather, we levy progressive income taxes so that people who are lucky can help people who are less lucky. The most talented basketball players pay a large income tax that helps provide services to those who were not born lucky.

I don't see why estate taxes are any different. It is not fair that some people are born into rich families while others are born into poor families. Nobody is suggesting we outlaw inheritance. But levying an appropriate tax on inheritance and preventing tax avoidance schemes is one way to compensate the unlucky.

Vonnegut was also a socialist (according to Wikipedia).
I am not a statistician, but I don't know if this figure is very interesting. The article says that "3.9% had at least one violent conviction", so it is kind of expected that 1% (i.e. 25.6% of that 3.9%) to have multiple convictions. Yeah, it's a bit skewed (63%) but still doesn't sound totally unexpected to me.

The Odds Ratio of 2.5 for male offenders is actually more interesting.
Is it me or is the bot's output in the section "Give a Bot a Fish" incorrect? It states that the most recent receipt is from Mar 5th, 2023 but there are two receipts after that date.

I keep going back and fourth between the two.

I have absolutely no proof but sometimes feel like the responses I get are weaker if there is no white space in the structured data.
Is this true? I assume detectives always start with men as suspects in physical crimes unless the evidence indicates otherwise.
"Banishment" to where exactly?
What's interesting to me is the opposite. Why aren't we screaming about the systemic oppression that must be forcing men to act violently?
> And yet, there are no calls from them for a restriction on male immigration.

I'm pretty sure they call for restricting immigration of both sexes. Besides, if you believe violence is partly genetic, then a sex-based immigration restriction is a solution that lasts only one generation.
Linux is pretty heavy compared to something like EPOC that the Psion used. That machine would run 20 hours on a pair of AA batteries.

I think you will find that racists will be okay with basically any immigration restriction. Its like people arguing back with anti affirmative action people that legacy admissions are unfair. Well they would happily give up a benefit they will never receive to get what they want!
The whole statement in the article is utter nonsense: "In that year, over 250 bishops came together at Nicaea to discuss the increasing problems concerning the date of Eastern. At this meting, they decided that from that point on, March 21 would be the vernal equinoctial point, which would mean that the calendar would have the same pace as the solar year. The last dodecahedrons descend from the fourth century AD."

That in 325 AD the vernal equinox fell on 21 March in the Julian Calendar was just a matter of fact. No one except of a few experts cared for more than a thousand years, that the calendar date of the vernal equinox gradually changed, amounting to 1 day aprox. every 128 years.

The "classical" way to "measure" the date of the equinox is by using a so-called gnomon, a vertical stick. At the date of the spring or autumn equinox, the tip of its shadow over the day results in a straight line. Here is an illustration and a longer explanation: https://earthsky.org/human-world/equinox-shadows-trace-a-str...
Now I'm curious if men are disproportionately more violent than women also due to the much-memed "socioeconomic factors"?

Or would you concede that there is a genetic element in the gender disparity? And would you then also recognise that factor in the racial disparity?

I also want to add that if the violent crime rate of White men was the biggest problem we faced as a society, well what a wonderful problem that would be to have. That would be a utopia compared to the challenges being faced by non-White and increasingly multiracial populations around the world right now.
Regarding socialization, suburbs are anti-social. There is almost no chance for spontaneous interactions with strangers.

Even small countryside towns are more social b/c there is a main street where people hang out on the street.

If you have to get in a car to "do something", your chances of spontaneous interactions go down exponentially.

I washed my bicycle outside last week and some 70-80 year old started up a conversation with me. Other times, going to the laundromat, some 80 year old lady chatted with me. But if I had to get in a car to get coffee or ride my bike, these kind of interactions would not happen. I want to live in a city when I get old and die on my feet.
Racists shy away from the fact that men are more likely to commit murder than women? No, I assure you, roughly every racist on Earth would find any other view ridiculous. But it is very easy to find non-racists who take the equally absurd position of denying that African Americans are more likely to commit murder than White Americans

And you're wrong when you say there are no calls from racists to restrict male immigration. Of course, most racists want to restrict both male and female immigration. But one constantly sees complaints specifically about how many male immigrants are entering the USA. And I have seen it suggested (though only rarely) that immigration should be allowed for females only.
Most people aren't violent. Or not to the point that they can't control it. The ones who can't control it though, they punch above their weight.
It's universally true. There's no nation where it isn't true.
You can get quite a of of it, at that price. Shipping to a remote island in the middle of nowhere, is more expensive.
This is a pointless observation since the male/female difference is the approximately equal for all races. In contrast, black women in the US commit more murders per capita than do white men: 5.8 versus 3.5 per 100k, as of 2021 per the FBI/Department of Justice. Black women are the only female group with this distinction compared to the male ethnic majority in the US, and all other countries of which I am aware.
One example of a framework that takes this approach is Apache Royale. It’s a reboot of the AS3 language and component library that works like Adobe/Apache Flex but compiles to JS targeting the browser runtime. This refactored Flex was rebuilt from the ground up with a Pay As You Go (PAYG) philosophy where components are composed of „beads“ on a strand that enable composition of the functionality you need rather than the kitchen sink.
This claim?

>when trying to identify who the criminals are, but they shy away from the pure fact that violent crime is almost exclusively perpetuated by men.

I am not a cop, but I would be very surprised if a violent crime happens where it is unknown if the suspect is a man or a woman, that most cops (around the world) give it a 50-50 chance that the criminal is a man or woman.

I would bet they will start by looking for a man, all else being equal.

Getting into the US, and living in the US, with whatever history of violence you have is apparently very easy.
This is actually a thread in feminist theory, which is ignored more broadly for reasons I’m sure you can imagine.

Studies have shown that domesticating grain could be done in as little as 20 years; the Aztecs built floating cities on lakes; people of the Andes turned teosinte into corn and also created potatoes, tomatoes, beans, corn, peanuts, quinoa, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, etc all in probably less than a thousand years. A thousand years ago, a European black bear's diet was 90% meat; that dropped to around 70% in Medieval Europe; and now stands at perhaps less than 10%. In the span of 150 years American bison populations went from 60 million to 500 individuals (note: these are keystone species. Without them the Great Plains wouldn't exist and woodland ecosystems would've overtaken the grasslands). It's estimated that the Amazon rainforest could revert to grasslands in as little as 10 years if the current rate of deforestation continues.

Ecosystems and environments change. Quite rapidly sometimes

Like really? 80% of tests I read are crap anyway. Just crap written to pass the test coverage detection.

For basic CRUD and simple business logic I see TDD work. But for example most projects I work on I have no clue what or no clue how to do it. I just write code, play around get new ideas and build upon that. It changes so frequent and is so exploratory that I can not be bothered writing any tests.

Once I "get it" I write some tests. Mostly I understand also what will need tests and what not. Personally I think this if fine.

Online everyone is writing the ideal situation. I know what to deliver, I know how to do it and this is the perfect way to do it. Mostly it is I have taken loads of assumption and figuring it out as I go. Fuck it needs to be done don't have time to "optimize" it to look perfect.

Maybe I'm just not a good developer. But I shipped enough value in my lifetime to know I'm good enough ;)
It's not a pointless observation. If we restricted immigration to women only, violence perpetrated by immigrants would drop somewhere north of 90%.
Summary for those who don't want to click: "The majority of violent crimes are perpetrated by a small number of persistent violent offenders, typically males, characterized by early onset of violent criminality, substance abuse, personality disorders, and nonviolent criminality."

So in theory if we purge the bottom 1% of the population every decade or so, there will be at least 63% less crime?
Yeah, well, fossil fuels made the entire city of Houston unlivable.
I mean, statistically illegal immigrants in the US are less likely to commit violent crime. [0]
Truthfully, that audience probably isn't too concerned with statistics.

Wasn’t this the plot behind Jurassic Park’s sterile dinosaurs?
A less misleading title: "25% of all convicted violent offenders are accountable for 63% of all violent convictions", but those numbers aren't big enough to be interesting.
Springer books were beautifully typeset until they started having authors do their own typesetting. That's one of the mixed blessings of LaTeX.

Even into the early 2000s, Springer would often make the first printing of a textbook sewn-bound, then subsequent printings were cheaply perfect-bound. I stopped buying new Springer books online around 2005, because I wanted to check the binding before buying.

Even within the same income bracket, the black homicide rate is an order of magnitude larger than the white one (and after 1975, the homicide rate of the richest blacks is larger than of the poorest whites):

> people who curate digital gardens of knowledge are in a unique position to be curators of focused streams of knowledge

I think you're onto something here. I save and organise articles and have been exploring ways to share them for some time.

There's two ways to organise knowledge - chronologically and topically. They're both important but for different audiences. Organising chronologically means followers can keep up with recent activity. It's simple and works and is the basis for RSS and social media feeds.

Organising by topic is for knowledge management where you can arrange and re-arrange content based on your understanding of the topic. One day you have a list of cool engineering articles then you might split that into articles about data etc.

I'm working on an app that tries to capture both. Each topic has a timeline of updates and each topic can be broken down into other topics.
