Tesla is the 800 pound gorilla by default. Normal car brands haven’t cared much, the Leaf and the Volt were not well know.

It’s only in the last two years that a lot of EVs, especially in popular styles, have appeared on the market. and while those have generally been very hard to get, there haven’t been many an absolute numbers due to appearing at the end of the semiconductor shortage.

There is no reason to think that Tesla will continue to maintain the vast majority of EV sales in the US going forward.

Neither of these are in the context of coding though.
He said the quiet part out loud, but most people who live in the 'burbs by choice do so for the same reasons, even if they themselves aren't conscious of it.
The fundamentals of this are costly. It's way way cheaper to maintain a Stirling cycle generator or aim some PV cells. Seems like someone(s) in JAXA have a pet project they intend to complete regardless of viability.
Remember your chemistry. Sodium is a metal that ignites on contact with water (actually it rips water apart and the heat ignites the hydrogen as I recall). Chlorine is a gas that was a weapon of war in WW I which burns your lungs out. Together they make table salt.

HCl is a strong acid, NaOH is a strong base. Mix them together and you get NaCl and H2O (salt water), possibly with a little heat (forget). Flouride is the same, F-, making an acid HF or a salt NaF.
Is hospice just slow euthanasia? My experience is they give you successively higher doses of morphine until your body fails, over like 2-6 weeks
There’s so much variability there though. The biggest factor there are the weight & the tires.

Basically tire noise will be the same on the same weight car with the same type of tires, EV or ICE. It’s just most EVs at this point are larger or heavier.

Because this is a national security issue? (Obviously, no.) When the narrative is "just trust us," history screams "this is not a good sign."
But those articles don't conflict with the parent article - both can be true simultaneously.
> DeForest Kelley was denied a role in ST:Generations because he was deemed an uninsurable death risk.

I’ve seen accounts that the cost of his insurance was a factor in his rejecting the film (he wasn’t denied a role), but most accounts I’ve seen focus on his (and much of the TOS cast’s) issues with the structure of the story and the roles they would have had in it, and how they were much happier having The Undiscovered Country as their last film in their roles.

I think the parent meant

"`for any choice of (∀) nutrient, pasteurization kills nutrient` evaluates to false"

Rather than

"`any nutrient (∃), pasteurization kills nutrient` evaluates to false" - which is what you seem to be responding to.
It was an optional opt-in labs feature that I tried for an hour then turned off, but now they force it.

The new UI is more busy for no good reason. Sidebar makes sense in a local IDE, but over web every time you expand a subtree it takes ages anyway. And because it merely exists it is distracting and makes pages load slower...
On the other hand, there will probably be a significant number who double down using some chain of nonsense connected to 'vaccines have chips in them' because of the larger size of the applicator.
I bought the Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard (the new one, no hole in the middle) and I must say it's the most comfortable keyboard I've ever used. It annoyingly has an Office and an Emoji key which I don't use and the Enter key is a bit small but I've gotten used to those quirks.
I never even thought about it before but you’ve convinced me.

Even then being painless is a big advantage. Also you can stick a patch to hundreds of children in a matter of minutes, which would be much slower with the conventional method.
Saying that it was weighed against the intrest of advertisers is not correct. It was a political descision made to stop political opponents from leveraging the dislike ratios of certain online videos to their favor in debates.

There is no proof that it was because of invalid dislikes, made by bots or anything like that. Calling the source of the dislikes trolls is unsubstantiated.

Why Youtube cares about politics is a large topic, but I don't think it is in any way shape or form correct to state that it was a advertiser/investor/monetary driven descision. Sites have likes/dislikes because it increases engagement, even negative engagement is engagement.
This particular one is about sliding dice - throwing them in a way that they don't tumble.

I'm sure it's understandable that that's outside the acceptable way to play a game - counting cards, for example, is done while respecting the rules of the game.

I kind of see this one as stealing from the casino, rather than players getting an edge.

But I'm cool with casinos getting robbed!
Lua also allows floating point indices. In fact, any value can be an index into a table. That means any number, string, True/False, function reference, thread (coroutine) reference, table reference, "userdata" reference (usually a pointer to a C object), or nil can be an index.
Youtube is bracing itself for Twitter's land grab.

Personally I think Youtube is screwed.
Novamin used to be available via Sensodyne Pronamel in Canada. I was surprised to see that at some point it disappeared from our market - no longer able to buy at any grocery store or pharmacy or on Amazon, whereas it used to be available in all of these places.

I program a lot of personal projects and just ignore the drama. It's a fun language to program in, and whatever dramatics the core team is engaged in, they've still managed to put out an excellent language and ecosystem.
It’s easy to use a uniform prior in a suitably huge interval - say from minus one gazillion to plus one gazillion - and you can look at the limit when the endpoints go to minus/plus infinity if you really have doubts about whether the interval was huge enough for your problem to fit comfortably within it.

If you don’t think that this is possible that says more about you than about the shortcomings of Bayesian statistics.

Unfortunately not. My stint of use was focused around dynamically loading in any given tree-sitter-langaugeName package via docker and then parsing any given file type in a runtime environment, in order to coalesce differing languages' parts into a unified metadata structure.

So, I wasn't trying to identify named things, like the tags command might seem to do, but more generic parts of the langauges like function, var, import/export statements, etc. I ultimately made my own walk functionality, but pulling out those atomic parts per language is still a very heavy task (basically need a mini lexer for each lang), even though TS seems to provide all the info to do the task.
I don't really know the exact algorithm yet, but I have a strong feeling it is possible based on what I see. There are like 3 major steps in the strategy, first one is 2XSAT reduction, second is a proof of refutation completeness (in particular, a form of deduction theorem) of a certain logic that models 2XSAT class, and the last one is polynomial-sized representation of all true statements in that logic (which uses n sets of linear equations, and from that follows the complexity of O(n^4)).

The 2XSAT reduction is 100% correct (I have been using it to solve small integer factoring problems), the deduction theorem proof still has a small flaw which I think is fixable, and the third part is an ongoing research which is trucking along. I will get there eventually, but if more people would be looking at this approach, then we (humanity) could arrive there faster, that's all.
Arguably one of the deeper comedies I've seen. Few films almost immediately get to the business of reminding you that everyone in a movie is a person in their own right, down to the luggage salesman. You can sense The Toby's frustration with being forbidden to be the offering himself, and his disgusted sorrow that none of his people will volunteer. The long-undersold Amanda Plummer features as the gloomy but driven Dagmar, who seems to be harboring some unspoken of fixation of her own.

Hank's naif fully embraces that the world may seem to be entirely absurd, new, even explicable as he breaks from his his soul/sole-killing rut into his new role. ("I'm not arguing that. I'm not arguing that. I'm not arguing that with you. He can get the job ... but can he do the job? I'm not arguing that ...") Even if he is The Fool, on a fool's quest, he can still learn and grow from what he experiences along the way.

I've always found the film a slightly cautionary tale about the wonder (tinged with a little sympathetic horror) about taking a long look around you with fresh eyes: what you see can loom as large as the Moon on a landless Pacific horizon.
I switched from Eagle to Altium for a few reasons

- Autodesk took my 3-years subscription money and then ditched Eagle, did no work, updates or improvements on the product I'd actually subscribed to, and tried to force me to move to a cloud-based app. No thanks. Never again, Autodesk.

- Altium is a world away from Eagle, with its push/shove routing, rules, field-solver for impedance matching, dynamic lookup for components, just, well, everything basically. It's a steeper learning curve than Eagle, but it's far and away just better as well.

- A perpetual license is what makes it worthwhile. Altium is already way more than I need, as a hobbyist, which gives me a lot of room to grow into it. I'd been using Eagle for ~20 years before switching, and I'd spent a lot on that over the years. If I get the same time-scale out of Altium that I did out of Eagle, it's not so bad averaged out.

Unless you propose cloning municipal water systems, fluoride choice isn't really practical. Check whether a proper activated charcoal filter, possibly with additions, is capable of filtering out the small amount of F- that's present. There might also be Cl- in there to keep diseases down, acting as a disinfectant (check with your water treatment plant/website).

I think the argument for things like this is that there's a fair number of people who would not act to preserve their teeth which is a quality of life issue for them. And possibly for others if it consumes resources doing larger-scale dental work after damage occurs.
As humans we probably overestimate our level of sentience, ability to understand meaning, and place in the food chain.

We should be careful in case someone decides to try to uplift us.
They are not missing the point. The previous post was simply wrong. The halting problem is semi-decidable. So you can potentially find out wether a program halts.
I listen to video game soundtracks almost exclusively for background music. It’s not that I don’t like mainstream pop music. It’s just that the lyrics get stuck in my head and drive me crazy. Video game music can also get stuck in my head but it’s much less intrusive without lyrics.

I think I also just get bored of a lot of songs if I listen to them too much. I don’t get bored of game music though. I am not sure why.

It's cute that you can do this, but it's not a practical solution, so I don't really know why people keep bring this up.

As shown by your example, arrays constructed the native way will start at 1. So you're going to need to make your own custom constructor which means additional overhead.

Also, all built-in functions that expects 1-based arrays will completely break:

for _, value in ipairs({[0]="foo", [1]="bar"}) do print(value) end

This will print "bar"

And even if you still insist on pushing through all of this friction by handrolling your own stdlib, everything is out of the window once you interact with any external library that you don't control.

There's a very good reason why no one is using this trick. Anything other than 1-based indexing is just undefined behavior.
That’s not necessarily a surprise, though, right? US per capita GDP is at least twice Taiwan’s. And even if the costs are higher, that’s still perhaps a decent insurance policy to have a chip supplier that isn’t located in the first island chain.
Does VS code even integrate tree sitter? I'd imagine leveraging tree sitter is even more hairy there.
I suspect if it doesn't work that way, we will start bailing out the casinos that go bankrupt, and subsidizing them, because jobs.
If our (US) medical system is so broken that your best option is to travel thousands of miles to a different medical system for care, that's a sign that things need serious change. Medical tourism is the equivalent of treating a symptom but leaving the root cause untreated.
The company says the table can be operated by a single dealer, and many casinos do just that... It's a cost-saving measure that they can get away with because the electronic table doesn't use betting chips; but it also means that there are less eyes to spot the cheaters.
Are you trying to argue that it goes from illegal to legal as long as no one is watching?
Computers have approximately 100% perfect memory recall, vastly increased factual and numeric memory compared to humans, much better calculation, 100% focus and "loyalty". I've been wondering whether a computer recognising a face as someone from your contacts counts as you being super-intelligent (I don't think it does), or a spreadsheet adding up thouands of numbers (also no), an infinite ToDo list and calendar reminders (maybe?), spaced repetition learning (possibly?) and from there - what would count? What would it mean for you to be super-intelligent by machine augmentation? What would computer software which effectively increased human intelligence look and behave like? Surely not like a window with text input and clicky buttons...?
That stuff doesnt go away just because you use a parliamentary system. This is really a trait of democratic systems in general.
That's correct, but expert dice manipulators can usually throw a slide so that it hits the corner at almost 45° and not the wall, which gives them a statistical edge.
In this case it is right wing censors like you who wish to decide "what books kids should read."
Interesting, I suppose you'd use reversible logic for the computation? I think non-reversibility is relatively common in computing, but surely a significant fraction of operations could be made using reversible logic. Fourier transforms are a good example. Sorting a simple example of an operation destroying information (log2(n!) roughly ~ n log2(n) bits). Algorithms would need to be redesigned significantly I suppose if it ever came to reversible computing being energy advantageous.
Yes, I agree. I was just pushing back against the common false narrative that no fluoride in tap water equals no fluoride at all. It's brought up as a fact in every online discussion about fluoride.

Usually it's alongside that one study that shows naturally occurring fluoride in water is harmful to children's mental development. Which is true, but neglects to mention that the areas studied (in rural China) had levels of fluoride twenty times higher then public water fluoridation programs and that the same study also included a control group at "normal" added fluoride level and found no negative effect.

Heres the study. You'll start to recognize it if you get involved in a few of these discussions.

That's all well and good, but Minix is not "done", no one involved with Minix is billing it that way, and no one who knows anything about the current state of things would let anyone who tried to say that get away with it.

tambourine_man posed a valid hypothetical, but that's all it is: hypothetical.
My point is how do you get the public key if you can't trust what has been published? You can't trust the gemini site, you'd have to use another protocol, such as HTTPS signed by a CA in order to verify the public key you are being given was actually signed by the author and not someone in the middle rewriting the authors gemini content.
We absolutely should at least try to do so. Re-engineer their neural DNA based on human DNA (probably harder than with other animals since their brain is spread out onto their limbs), or simply at least increase the neural counts of various regions, etc.

We shouldn’t just leave them as-is after doing so though—we should build a super massive aquarium, and if we actually succeeded in making them smarter — be there to teach them science, math, physics, biology, medicine, computer science, etc.

Making profitable movies is really really difficult. Just look at the huge list of failed studios.

It’s not just getting a good script it needs to be the right scrip at the right time, which can actually be filmed on an appropriate budget.

A huge issue is you need a large team of world class people that all work together, and then the movie ends in a few weeks or months and all those people need to find work on the next project. Actors, costumes, lighting, props, etc generally end up being very expensive sub contractors which you need to schedule together because a studio has trouble just paying those people year round. So now each of those subcontractors is going to be one of a handful of people/companies also need enough work to keep going etc etc.

And all of that isn’t even considered actors, post production, test audiences, promotion, etc.
It's in my bio, but I after my "internet fame" with Selenium and Appium, I now make physical robots that do the same thing: tap buttons on phone screens for end-to-end testing.

Atleast the Youtube Rewind case presents a clear motive. "We don't want people to show that they dislike our content, it looks bad for the company, and us as creators"
If this is just vanilla sliding/fraud (distract the dealer and then slide the dice without any air time), then this is just a normal case of cheating/fraud...

However, this isn't a normal felt craps table, instead of felt it's an electronic screen.* I wonder if the they were able to get the dice to slide after landing due to the physics (coefficient of friction/restitution?) of the screen being very different from felt. If so, this may** be a little more interesting.

*I think the type of table looks like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w9gZAjwqZs

**I imagine it is still quite a small chance this gets more interesting. But FWIW a possible interesting scenario would be the Nevada Gaming Commission finding that they made a legal throw or something
This is exactly the reason why I strongly dislike when people use the verb "lying" to describe when ChatGPT presents information that is factually inaccurate. It implies intent and people already have a tendency to over-anthropomorphize these systems.

Hallucinates is a far more accurate description.
It's entertainment and you pay for it in losses. That's the deal you make with the owners of the casino when you enter the game. If you try to profit off it by cheating, you are failing to comply to your part of the deal. You don't have to accept the deal if you don't like it, just don't go there.

If a company doesn't allow you to test their security, just let it go.

Why would anti-vaxers be any less skeptical of this? From their standpoint it’s an even newer and less tested method.

My initial thought was that this, if popularized, will create even more conspiracy theories among anti-vaxers who will stop letting their kids have stickers. Actually it was common when I grew up, and now with my own kids, for doctors’ offices to give kids stickers for being a good patient or just generally bring a smile to a sick kid’s face.
Pretty much everything puts evolutionary pressure on the virus. If the host keels over 1s after infection, that line's going to die out. If the antibodies from vaccination/infection target an invariant portion, the virus might effectively die out (polio, measles, etc). Ideally, between vaccination and infection we've proceeded to an equilibrium - the nasties have been outcompeted or died out and (way) fewer people have been keeling over. If/when Covid truly behaves like the flu it will be another of the coronaviruses causing colds of varying severity.
How do people join cults, how are people radicalised, how come there are still shootings and terrorists? People can be convinced and coerced to do things by silver tongued slick talkers promising great rewards, and some people would press the button regardless if given half a chance.
