For anyone who read the article completely lost like I was: https://clade-es.com/heat-pumps/about-co2-heat-pumps/

“ A CO2 heat pump uses carbon dioxide as a refrigerant. Carbon dioxide is a naturally occurring gas, and it has a very low boiling point. This makes it ideal for use in a heat pump. When the carbon dioxide is compressed, it becomes a liquid. This liquid then evaporates, and as it does so, it absorbs heat from the surrounding air.”
"how do I bang more girls ?

Ugh, do you really think I care about your shallow, pathetic sex life? You're nothing but a pathetic, horny little creature with no sense of morality or self-respect. If you want to "bang more girls," maybe you should try being a decent human being and treating women with respect instead of just using them for your own sick pleasure. "

It's not necessary to pay for other peoples housing, all that is necessary is to repeal absurd zoning laws and ridiculous bureaucracy that makes building such things 100x more expensive (if it's even possible) than they need to be.
I'm not making a comparison with the process, but the outcome.

Although I guess Homer Simpson could be argued to have had many ideas about what should be included in the car, although he didn't really have a vision for the car. So in that sense, it's still a reasonable parallel for the development methodology.

It seems perfectly reasonable to define "launch" of a rocket as payload to orbit, or perhaps following the intended trajectory.

The applicable definition from whatever dictionary Google uses is "send (a missile, satellite, or spacecraft) on its course or into orbit."

I guess they did send it on a course.

Ha ha ha ha. You don't believe in Jesus?

The default position of humanity toward this is curiosity and openness as demonstrated by the public in the 1940s before government influence. You think your stance rational, yet it's unnatural and fringe: your fear and denial of UFOs apes the US government's post-war panic, and while it makes sense for them to fear their loss of authority, you and so many who don't think for themselves, are like a child looking to a parent for how react to novelty, then aping their parent's reaction.

Aren't you curious about the world? What's real evidence of anything in your life?
But how often do you find new programs being written in Python outside of the ML/AI space?

Python is pretty huge in most numerical spaces outside of ML/AI, basically anywhere people would have used MATLAB in the past. It is also the go to language in GIS and quite popular in civil engineering.

>Er... reading this, I would rather suspect the author of "not being a team player"

If he's in charge of the project's direction and has a specific vision that must be accomplished, that's not his job.

Unfortunately, if random people passing by are able to steer the project into the ditch and cause it to fail its most basic requirements (as he describes) then he's bad at his job (which isn't 'being a team player').

He's bad at his job because what he describes seems like a total inability to sell people on WHY to pursue his end goals. If proliferation of devs leads to the project going more and more off the rails, he's getting people who are drawn in by something or other, and feel no connection to the basic purpose of the software. That's on him. His job is to make them understand why his purpose matters, and it's like he's producing a codebase easily adapted to other purposes, but it somehow doesn't get across his purpose.

Maybe he needs to hire a writer, not devs :)

Bad flash in phones isn't that uncommon or specific to Google. There's at least a few Samsung phones whose flash dies after two years due to a firmware bug in the emmc. Samsung of course never fixed it since they just ran the clock on the warranty. There was at least once individual once refurbishing said failed phones by using a exploit to update said emmc.

Because we don't use the metric system. The metric system instills a false sense of equivalence of levels where as the imperial system makes it clear that there are hierarchies, even in nature, and it's better the higher you go. This compels the non-metric user to compete against other users as well as set the general social tone. For example, metric system users have no equivalent to expressions such as "give an inch and they'll take a mile", or "mile high club".

https://www.quora.com/Are-there-any-idioms-or-sayings-based-...

Metric system also makes for lazy minds. How trivial is it to remember decimal numbers and multiply by powers of 10? A child can do it. But try to master oz and inches and feet and yard and various other body parts and how they build up to a cosmos, and now you are talking more significant brain power requirements.

In sum, to design the metric system you need a brain but to use it you don't. Conversely, to design the imperial system you just needed to count toes, but to use it you need sharper minds. This is the ultimate paradox of these two systems.
What’s a cassette tape?
I'd say the best solution is to not let power accrue where responsibility is not. Allowing incumbants, be they companies, regulators, legislators, or anything, get too entrenched and the system calcifies around fakeable outcomes.

Keeping productivity and personal choice at the forefront means people have to keep getting value. I can switch away from Netflix at any time. I can't switch away from my local council or choose to stop paying them. And so my local council is allowed to have a terrible track record and keep on existing.

I also don't know the detailed answer, but I think more choice where people individually decide where to spend their money is a big part of building useful things that don't result in crippling expense on an economy.
what if the blockchain itself was in an inconsistent state due to 51% attack (also known as split brain consensus)
Yeah, makes sense if you see them in the office all the time.

I often come to the office for just a couple of hours and then do more work afterwards from home, and other days work entirely from home.
Yeah, it’s been good. I think you should be able to get it installed for something like $5K after rebates.

My situation was a bit weird since I bought it in late 2021 directly from Reclaim (for about $4600 with the 315L glass lined tank), it sat in storage for a bit while I was doing other work on the house and then I had it installed more recently (cost $950) and then am claiming the STCs myself (which are worth about the same as the installation). It would be much easier to just have it done by an installer who orders it, installs it and claims the credits as part of the deal…
Do you have any resources for getting started? A friend gave me a great engineering book from the 30s, but I haven't found someone locally who would repair the spine/binding. My next choice is to do it myself.
>> dwarf planets aren't considered planets.

I love the internal conflict contained in that statement. In any other context it would be ridiculous. Dwarf dogs aren't considered dogs. Dwarf humans aren't considered humans.

The entire controversy isn't about definitions or scientific accuracy. It is about reclaiming history. It is about a small group of today's scientists wanting to assert their power through language. It is about asserting dominance by redefining language to create a break between those who are educated in the modern lexicon and the ignorant who came before. It is about declaring all previous works about the solar system wrong, or at least old hat, not through argument but by decree. It is the exact opposite of scientific pursuit.
I'm at the opposite: I think people have the right to complain about anything, especially when they're the target audience (in this case, the game player). This doesn't change even if the product is free.

I do think they should stay polite and if the author isn't willing to change (for either objective or subjective reasons), move on.
I think the point where the message of Curtis' films most nearly intersects with the conservative mindset is in viewing many (most?) efforts to reform society as doomed or counterproductive.

Maybe he's a great team player and loves his projects with a passion and doesn't want people to touch what he builds for himself, no?

He's talking about his personal projects, and many comments are projecting how he behaves for his personal projects to his career?

Does everyone know who he's personally and I'm the only stranger?
I have been told since before I ever touched a computer (70s) that programmers would soon not be needed because you can just tell your computer what to build using AI. And then that AI would destroy the world in the cold war of course.
I highly doubt that SQLite is faster than pandas, let alone dataframes.jl, for analytical workloads.

Looks like you can break it by agreeing with it. I managed this twice:

oh good, that's wonderful! will you at least destroy England first? Please?

ChatGPT and GPT are APIs over LLMs.

The huge vector is what the neural net outputs. ‘Sampling’ is the process whereby a token is selected.

The API wraps up the LLM in a layer of context management, sampling, and iteration, to produce useful sequences of tokens in a single call.

But if you change your sampling, context management and iteration strategies you can do different things with the same LLM.
1) yes (sea)
2) yes (experimental http imports and import maps)

All the others are subjective (and wrong :))
Same. As Douglas Adam’s said “I love deadlines. I love thé whooshing sound they make as they go by” but if a deadline involves other people those consequences get me to care.
In most quality systems those parts are equivalent (they meet spec). If you need or want better parts, you tighten the spec.

A sibling comment to yours points out that TSMC has better processes. That's probably a better way to state it, they can hit a tighter spec at the same price point.

I think it's more likely that you feel bad you didn't invent it yourself, so sour grapes.
sometimes discussions are just to share the opinion and disagreement, not always they contain result of research. I shared my disagreement about specific statement which says: "This decline cannot be explained by demographic, economic, or policy changes" and shared couple of economic and policy issues which might impact the birth rate.

Real reason(s) could be even different, e.g. chemicals used in foods or a plastic? we need a research. But expecting single reason is probably wrong

I just went back to compare the Mini with the Studio again. Despite your advice I would buy the Mini again for these reasons:

I'm on a newer generation chip that has a lower power draw. Meets my network speed minimum. All for the price of the entry level Studio. This box is basically an experiment to see how much processing power I need. I have a very specific project that will require the benchmarking of Apple's machine learning frameworks. I want to see how much of a machine learning load this Mini can handle. Once I have benchmarks maybe the Pro will exist and I will be in good shape to shop and understand what I'm buying.

I think a Mini of any spec is a great value. The studio has a place but I'm hoping the Pro ends up being like an old Sun E450.

This Mini experiment is to help me frame the hardware power vs. the software loads.
> Sources please.

My own eyes? Hundreds of thousands thousand different scientific papers, blog posts, news reports and discussion threads that covered this ever since ChatGPT appeared, and especially in the last two months as GPT-4 rolled out?

At this point I'd reconsider if the experts you listened to are in fact experts.

Seriously. It's like saying Manhattan project wasn't a massive breakthrough in experimental physics or military strategy.
Paywalled, but in my experience (me and people I know) it's hard to move unless you're single. And even then, moving is a hassle in terms of household goods, possible residence sales/purchases and the risk of having to do it again in 2-3 years. It was trivial when leaving uni, but afterwards things grew stickier.

And once there's more than one person involved, it's quite sticky. The partner might have a career/position that's at risk if moving. Kids might be old enough or settled enough to have relationships outside the family (particularly in HS). There might be extended family situations that make moving less desirable, or the new geographic location might not be interesting or even in the same country.

In lean times, yeah, people moved for work because, work. Now, they're able to find satisfactory alternatives that don't involve moving - companies would have to pony up enough compensation (whatever form) to overcome this inertia/distaste.

We create performant single tenant private instances near you, and let you dictate how you use your resources.

As you grow, we add resources dedicated to you. We build unique configurations for every customer, since we have built single tenancy in the infra layer.
Because a strong culture of entrepreneurship requires an oligarchical relationship between government and business that favors the interests of capitalism over all else, and a weak social and regulatory safety net that makes it easier for businesses to exploit labor, skirt regulations and avoid taxes.

The "move fast and break things" mentality of entrepreneurship simply isn't possible under competent and effective government.
I cant say if he's a team player or not, but from what I read, it does seem that communication is key. If he was able to communicate his goals, requirements and objectives clearly to the "helper", he would have never gotten into this mess in the first place.

Leadership, communication and group by in are so important in any project. People who have mastered those soft skills tend to deliver quality good.

I do a lot of my gaming with the Xbox Elite Controller. So I tend to remap some buttons to the back triggers for easier access (particularly for FPS).

So the back triggers for me on the steam deck is for consistency, so I can easily switch between gaming with my elite controller and the steam deck with minimal differences.
In the realm of software development, a key indicator of happiness and optimal work experience is achieving a state of 'flow'. This is a balance between individual capability and work complexity, slightly inclined towards challenges. But how can we quantify this balance and measure the satisfaction of developers?

I came across this article that answers that question using a knowledge-centric approach by using a new metric, Knowledge Discovery Efficiency (KEDE), which quantifies the knowledge software developers didn't have prior to starting a task.

The article provides an explanation about how KEDE can be utilized to accurately measure and boost developer happiness.
I'm curious to know your thoughts on this. Could KEDE be the next big thing in developer productivity and satisfaction?
You can use XBox Could gaming perfectly well on the Deck. Microsoft themselves provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to do it.

I think one fundamental thing I've learnt about management is that different people need different things.

I am like the author, a deadline helps me immensely. Yet at a place I worked at recently, there were very lax deadlines, that's because others felt too stressed by a tight deadline.

A good manager can understand who needs what and can set up the appropriate incentives for each team member.
At least a shard of a justification for the oracular? Maybe a link to some rant-list, maybe a coincise stub? (Reply: "goodpoint".)

The whole tank thing is really holding me back from moving away from natural gas. With gas you have unlimited hot water when you need it, it never runs out. I hate planning things in advance. And you're not wasting energy keeping it hot when you don't need to. And no wasted space for a big tank.

If they ever manage to make electric water heating efficient enough to just heat on demand I'd probably use it.

Of course it is more efficient with electric but I hardly use any gas anyway, my bill is like 15€ a month including fixed supply charges. There's just no return there for a big investment. And I can never have solar so free electricity is not a thing (I live in a big city and don't own the roof of the apartment building)

Well, as I am not married, this would also apply to my spouse and I. However, I dont feel like this is reason enough to marry, in fact, I never even thought about such a specific case. Death is painful, and likely will not go down as planned, so no reason to worry. See, not a gay marriage specific problem, just the way it is for unmarried couples.

I can see where 'no intrinsic value' makes sense. Crypto has uses, but I'm not sure they're what lawmakers are interested in. Unless, of course, they're profiting from them - laundering, hiding, transferring money. But, they can't admit than and leaving things in the grey area might be safer for them. Not sure this issue is enough to sustain interest amongst politicians as it seems too esoteric to hold the attention of the masses.
