It's really frustrating watching all the EV companies (except, arguably, Ford) completely face plant on pickup trucks.

The frames have been able to accommodate battery weight + volume since the early 90's, so very little innovation is needed here. There is a huge market for no-frills, low-range, high duty cycle vehicles for around town deliveries, etc.

Pickup trucks are ridiculously expensive to operate with current gas prices, and many people that own them are environmentally conscious (but need to have a truck to move big stuff). So, there's basically no market risk for someone that produces a 1500 class truck that is a direct knock off of the trucks that have been being built for the last 30-40 years.

Ford is by far the leader here. They invested a lot in moving to an aluminum frame, which lets them cut weight while increasing payload capacity. The main problem with their current offering is that they only offer it in a supercab with a short (but longer than the other EVs) bed.

Also, it's an electron guzzler, so it's actually dependent on charging networks, which are still a disaster in the US.

Anyway, here's a book describing the ICE -> Lead Acid pickup truck conversion process from 1993. The result kind of sucked because of the batteries, but my point is that the frame wasn't an issue at all, so very little innovation is required from the manufacturers:

Again, that's more or less a one-off effect of land use conversion, and further biofuels agriculture does not indefinitely continue to release carbon into the atmosphere.
Frankly, I've just moved from writing web APIs in Rust to writing web APIs in Python and I miss Rust. I didn't use the language because it was fast (that was a nice side-benefit) but because it was reliable.

I went to Portland in 2019 and 2022. The difference was striking. Yeah there were homeless people in 2019 (PNW has kind of always had more homeless people that other parts of the country), but its more than that. It's just total dysfunction from what I saw. Businesses closing, antisocial behavior happening in the open, crimes happening and the police not taking any action. Overall the vibe just seemed pretty depressing.

At this rate there will be no AI because it will be smothered in the cradle by governments and large corporations who will stop any possible free thinking individual who might produce the next breakthrough, lest they use this "dangerous" technology to usurp the former's power or the latter's profits.

I dislike this notion of “hallucination”, because it makes it seem as if it’s unusual.

LLMs are language models, not repositories of facts. They have a lot of facts at their disposal, so they know how to make something look factual. “Hallucinating” is just them doing what they’re supposed to. It’s not aberrant.

As such, anyone relying on them as some sort of oracle is doing things very wrong.

I share similar views, and certainly would be a lot more concerned if my government had access to all my personal data and communications, rather than the Chinese one, which very likely doesn't give a damn about who I am.
Yes, every country has its share of dirty history to be ashamed of, but the difference with places like China, Russia and others is that in our "western" countries we can (still) as citizens criticize the powers without expecting to be detained, have the house raided, lose our jobs and whatnot. Things may change in the future in my country, especially after the new wave of neofascist crooks that went in power lately, but we're not yet at that point.
So basically, “Snowden took a lot of stuff” and there are vague references to “the stuff he took is risky, but not in any tangible way that we can describe, but you’ll have to trust us”.

It’s not like I don’t believe that Snowden likely took things that endanger elements of national security. However, I’m going to need a bit more evidence to believe a government that routinely and flagrantly lies to its citizens, and equates “risks to national security” with “things that make us look bad”.
> "Knowing" binary isn't some deep, fundamental CS knowledge, it's a party trick.

Reread my comment I never said binary in-and-of itself is "deep" knowledge. I said not knowing it is a proxy for a lack of CS knowledge more generally.
In my experimentation this ... works sometimes?

For ex. I tried asking ChatGPT about cartoons from childhood. I wrote "What was that cartoon in the 1980s that was based on some kind of gummy candy?" and it correctly identified "The Adventures of the Gummi Bears". I wrote "Sing the theme song for me" and it produced the song missing the first verse. I wrote "That is missing the first verse!" and it produced the whole correct song.

On the other hand, when I asked it to describe the instrumental 90s X-Men theme song, it tells me:

'...the lyrics are epic and uplifting, with lines like "We're the X-Men, we're the best there is at what we do." The song also has a sense of urgency and danger, with lines like "We're fighting for our lives" and "The mutant race will survive"...'

When I put "The X-Men theme song doesn't have lyrics" it readily accepted the correction but unlike getting the missing first verse I wasn't really getting any verifiable information by making the correction.

And of course it was happy to tell me about a nonexistent Gummi Bears / Rescue Rangers crossover episode.

You’ve admitted that they are solving a real problem, therefore this is not an honest representation of what is going on.
I'm not saying you shouldn't go to one on a personal level. If it helps you or improves your life it doesn't matter if scientific or not, it isn't anyone's business. I'm speaking more about it from a population level. I think we could probably come up with ways to more cheaply (read: increase access) to help people with moderate mental illness (that I suspect in some cases may be the brain working correctly and accurately finding it's environment to be unpleasant and lonely).

For young men without strong male influences in particular I think a kind person in some sort of big brother program is probably worth a team of psychological professionals in many cases.
I think the precise location where the DNA is found is more important to proving a case than merely finding it. Environmental DNA lacks this information. When collecting DNA from a scene, I believe there are guidelines and really just plain common sense where you'd want to swab.

That is, finding someone's DNA in a common area is less convincing than finding it on the handle of a weapon. If environmental DNA is abused by an overzealous court, it may call into question the general effectiveness of DNA testing.
Most people dont have any of the things you described.

Where are you staying? There are some parts of the core downtown (Old Town) that you might want to avoid, but the rest of Portland is not what the media portrays. Hell, even my family in the burbs (Beaverton, Cornelius) think it’s some crazy wasteland and constantly ask us if we feel safe and I have to laugh at them every time.

Early in my career, every dev had their own office with a door. That was unbelievably excellent both for people's general outlook and for the quality of work.

After that, it was years and years of cubes. That was less than ideal, but people made it work. Then open offices came into vogue. That was hated by the majority, and the quality (and speed) of work sorely suffered.

Perhaps the compromise position for RTO could be: you have to come to the office, but you get your own actual office.

I'm not making claims about a specific harmful threshold, just pointing to the rationality of concern given the ubiquity of plastic and our increasing understanding of its harm.

Unless you're saying we understand the specific threshold for plastic and the risk of reaching that threshold can be reasonably extrapolated from typical levels of exposure, I think we're getting at different points.
Isn't lacquer technically a sort of plastic?

I could find images for Indian Brass Container to learn what it is. But I didn't find anything conclusive for Korean steel.
In my experience for it to take effect you need either a predictable window of plugged in time (it will delay charging until it needs to to hit 100% by when you normally unplug) or just to use your compute almost exclusively plugged in (at which point it will start letting the battery drift down to 80%). If you regularly unplug to work on the couch or whatever you may not ever see the effect directly unless you wake up an hour early to check the charge state of your laptop.
It's a correct use of literally, but I think the change to the dictionary definition is in error. It's simply an example of hyperbole, which is a thing you can do with any word.
And for decades it was full of BPA, AFAIK it still is ('stable' one, if you believe them...)
The argument is that your team’s quality of work, whether you like it or not, suffers without some amount of human interaction. You need to address that, not just parrot the personal preference to be a good little Jira closing productive remote cog and not interact with anybody at all. Not that I don't agree that companies should do a better job understanding individual productivity, but that’s not the argument.
You don't really need super accuracy in the way you do for a body weight scale where a 2% change matters.

You watch the readings go up and down as you close windows and cook and then open windows and let the fresh air in. You'll watch CO2 go up to 1200 and then back down to 500. Or PM2.5 go from 2 to 25 and back.

They're big changes that obviously correlate in logical ways with what is happening in your home.

And then it's really the relative changes you're watching. Even if values are off by 20% it doesn't really matter a ton for private personal use.

Because you're really just learning what the baseline values are for fresh air, how quickly values grow, and therefore when you prefer to open some windows. (Or this week, close them.)

> There are teams rewriting web apps and APIs in Rust.

That is not a bad sing, in fact.

That mean the app was write and now is the second(third...) time.

I do this, for work. People pay me to make this stuff several times in the past. And moving langs and other major changes (like move from web to mobile).

Rust make this much better than before: You get some fast, yeah, some safety, great, but much better modeling of logic and great tooling, even errors are much better here! (ie more detailed, better resolutions).

---

Rewriting a system is assumed to be a terrible mistake, and that is true mostly for organizational or political reason, but is VERY profitable if done by technical reasons!

To make it a failure:

- You need something dysfunctional in the org/team, and stay or move anyway will lead to doom. Make the jump to Rust WILL make this more evident!

- You have inexperienced people doing this. Stay or move anyway will lead to doom, but move will be faster!

To make it a success:

- You somehow have a decent org/team

- Budget the time required to make the change, not do it with major time presures

- Do some small test validations, maybe just experiment a little a few weeks/months if the app is truly big.

- Make the jump and use real data ASAP

The rest is obvious work...
I would definitely like some research into the SEN5x line of sensors. I have three air quality monitors in the house. Two of them are AirGradient kits (Basic and Pro), with the other one I made myself using a SEN55 and SCD41. All of them are using ESPHome for the firmware.

With the current very bad air quality in the US Northeast, I noticed that the SEN55 was reading much higher than the two Plantowers in the AirGradients. At one point, the SEN55 was reading around 200µg/m³, while the Plantowers were reading around 100µg/m³. I am planning on buying a second SEN55 to check this.

This is great. Nobody likes the idea of excluding disabled people. But does it really get to the heart of the issue?

It's actually a pretty high bar for someone to decide to use anything besides the default client. More or less everyone using apps depending on these APIs has what, to them, was an important reason.

It's great this exemption addresses one of those important reasons, but it's just one of so many.

Are you American?

Snowden released unredacted classified documents that lead to real-world damage and potentially casualties. Compare that to wikileaks which redacted locations, IP addresses and other sensitive information.

He wasn't a hacker by any means. He was a lowly SharePoint admin that was rumoured to have been coerced remotely by the Russians.

He was angry with the NSA for being denied a promotion for TAO which drove him over the edge.

It isn't hard to theorize that Russian and Chinese assets lurk the corners of chatrooms, looking for depressed/vulnerable US assets to coerce and corrupt. Money well spent for the West's enemies.

If a single American intelligence asset lost their life because of Snowden's leaks would your opinion change?

Weird they don't stock UHT milk. I buy milk for 6 months and keep it in my pantry. I honestly can't tell the difference between modern UHT milk and mass-produced "fresh" milk (at 2% anyway). They could in theory ship in UHT milk instead of fresh, and stock enough extra to last a few more months in winter. It would be fun to make your own cheese down there as a hobby!

Eating by the seasons is also pretty interesting, I think. It forces you to expand your gastronomic horizons, explore the cuisine of different regional cultures. Some cultures don't use milk (and thus cheese or butter), some don't use much oil, some are vegetarian while some are nearly all meat. There's preservation by fermentation, by drying, by salting, by burying, by sealing in hardened butter. Some just eat a lot of soup. There's really an infinite number of dishes that express flavor, aroma and texture. If you ever get bored of your food, you can fix that.
