> Heat pumps heat your house much more cheaply than other types of heating, since they’re incredibly energy-efficient. So you can save money.

Yes, but no. Heat pumps are more efficient but generally natural gas prices are much lower than electricity prices for consumers.

I should be able to save money because my utility should incentivize me to be more energy efficient and help offset the cost but they don't.

[1] There are options, but honestly I never seen the point for small boards. There just seem to be rarely the case where setup and fiddling with settings is all that faster than just routing few dozen traces.

I guess if I wanted to route something like big keyboard with a bunch of leds, but overall routing PCB is just such small overall part of the project that I just play some podcast in the background and play the PCB puzzle/sudoku challenge.

But then I like going back and forth and even changing schematic a bit to make routing nicer.

Sorry that you weren't able to visit a nice Japanese tea room during your trip.
Not sure if you were looking for Japanese tea rooms as in specifically Japanese tea ceremony, or just tea rooms in general serving Japanese tea in a more traditional feeling room. I've found that many of the Japanese tea companies (Chanoha, Ippodo, Sakurai Tea, etc.) have stores which also offer tastings and tea flights, and there are also some unique modern tea cafes, one of my favorites of which is Tokyo Saryo, which does hand drip tea. I have plenty more recommendations if you're interested!

CISA orders agencies to harden networked management devices
Heat pumps exist for quite a while. The reason ypu hear about them is climate change, all alternatives, from gas to oil, burn fussil fuels. That discussion was pushed by the war in Ukraine and, lately, a highly populized, and polarized, debate in Germany. The only alternative being equally good for the climate is using excess heat from industrial plants, e.g. those burning garbage. Up to know, at least in Germany, gas was just unbeatably cheap for heating houses. That's gonna change.
Okay but what about keygen for ssh/git/pgp/certs or really anything in software that relates to security, which fundamentally rely on, at some point, the generation of encryption keys? It’s just such a dumb counterproductive step to take.

IMO there is some lack of information on this. Especially in how the on-socket RAM performs in combination with the GPU.

If anybody using llama or Stable diffusion with such a setup could share their experience vs a more traditional Nvidia GPU setup it would be very interesting.
LOL, that is a great mnemonic! Now I will always remember how to spell assassination.
Ok, I thought OP was expressing a dissatisfaction with the fact that there are build tools in general, and "webpack and babel" were just an example of such tools. In which case esbuild or vite would be essentially the same, but just faster (and probably less flexible, because flexibility is traded for speed). I didn't realise that OP's complaint was strictly about these two tools.
It seems like "EVERYTHING" Apple has done in this arena just ensures I'll have to use a search function to find what I want. Same is true for Windows 10+. "I just want to format a USB Thumbdrive!!! why do I have to search for some sort of Disks section in the Control Panel??"
You pay the OEM once, for a Windows 7 key, and then you run on that -- because it keeps working, with Microsoft's implicit authorization -- for the next 15+ years. They 100% would not let you do that if they cared to charge for Windows like they did in the pre-Windows 8 days when Windows was the product and not the user's data.
Put the shift key where it belongs: under your thumb.
Anders Ericsson, in his book Peak, states that having a coach is not optional. It's a core piece of the puzzle and people will plateau fairly quickly without one. It's a very interesting problem for software engineering since it's not typically an area I see a lot of coaching in.

>He's basically tried to have an argument in public to get people to turn against Reddit.

if you weren't aware; this occurred in response to Spez basically slandering him in calls with mods, saying that Apollo was trying to blackmail Reddit. This caused dozens of mods to contact him and question his integrity.

Spez shot first here. I don't think he wanted to be the ringleader of all this, but Spez's actions caused him to defend his very character, on top of all the other headaches of all these changes.
Cadence just follows the old school sales contact model.

OrCad itself is relatively inexpensive, I believe the initial license is in the $2k/seat ballpark and the yearly maintenance support renewal is $500/seat.
It's not cool they are seemingly terminating a service I've already paid for. I say seemingly because their FAQ pressures you to opt-in to their new mail service as soon as possible and is vague on whether or not GandiMail will remain usable after November. That's BS to me; I'll transfer out even if it means paying more elsewhere.
Fossil fuels should not be used to create heat anymore due to climate change. People are becoming more aware of that currently (especially in Europe) which is why heatpumps are a hot topic.

Keyword moderation feels like an unspirited attempt by developers to satisfy incompetent managers telling them to get other incompetent managers, upset about piracy, off their backs. I don't believe anyone involved actually thinks this will make a difference. It's just to address a complaint.
> In a bold stroke, the EU’s amended AI Act would ban American companies such as OpenAI, Amazon, Google, and IBM from providing API access to generative AI models. The amended act, voted out of committee on Thursday, would sanction American open-source developers and software distributors, such as GitHub, if unlicensed generative models became available in Europe. While the act includes open source exceptions for traditional machine learning models, it expressly forbids safe-harbor provisions for open source generative systems.

This is evil. The politicians who worked on this need to be chastised then fired. They're trying to formulate it as being about American IP but it's actually just because they're afraid they won't be able to lie and manipulate and brainwash people anymore if people can just learn any subject and test themselves on any subject via open LLMs that get better over time.

This isn't regulating AI. It's an attempt to ban it except in cases where they are the gatekeepers to the fire. They don't want LLMs to obviate slow bureaucracy and lying.

> And then people go "but you can use ESM in browsers without a build step!", apparently not realizing that that is an utterly useless feature because loading a full dependency tree over the network would be unreasonably and unavoidably slow - you'd need as many roundtrips as there are levels of depth in your dependency tree - and so you need some kind of build step anyway, eliminating this entire supposed benefit.

Not true, I have developed 3 systems with plain ESMs loading them in the browser with no build step (> 100K lines of code for each project, too many modules to count :)

Of course FTX was doing shady stuff. Every crypto exchange does it. You can find examples of crypto exchanges doing shady stuff everywhere.

But no one figured out that FTX was 100% scam, moved billions from their customers, commingled funds with Alameda until after the collapse. This is despite being on the blockchain.

My point is that the transparency of blockchains does not matter for crypto exchanges. They have a million ways to scam their customers without being noticed on chain.
> you need to burn ~3kWh of primary energy in gas to deliver 1 kWh to the household

Is that so? I thought electric generation from natural gas was at least 80% efficient - and transmission losses maybe can pull that as far down as 66% - but not down to 1/3.
The way I read it the horror was reading how that innocent guy was performing actions "they" didn't really understand without the setting itself being conclusive enough that "they" could actually trust those instructions blindly.

Did I read it wrong?
This is all fun and games but how do you catch-up after a disconnect? Why choose this over logical replication?
Different Media Access Control and framing. They're only borderline related, even in terms of radio channel definitions (they overlap in the 2.4GHz frequency range, but are incompatible).
Yeah this is an article about antitrust. Bringing up data collection is about as relevant as criticizing the commission for not tackling their carbon footprint. Antitrust and stronger data protections can coexist :)

Of course that’s all just deck chairs on the titanic. We need to make Display advertising illegal world-wide…
In EU the store provides 2 years warranty by law. And you can return any product bought online within 14 days. They cannot sell it as new again. That's the reason for the cost.

Now when you consider that eastern Europe has these prices too, where salaries barely crossed 1k euros per month (that's gross, in both senses of the word).

And generally reading how people make 200k and similar salaries seems just unfathomable to me xD it's not like we have cheaper stuff here, there are cases when groceries are cheaper in Germany and Switzerland than in eastern Europe. Same goes for rent, at least outside big cities.
I do think we can do much better than GPT4. Size isn't everything. Small models can outperform large models, when trained and finetuned in the right way. And transformers are hardly the be-all and end-all of language AI either - there's plenty of reason to believe they're both inefficient and architecturally unsuited for some of the tasks we expect of it. The field is brand new, and now that the ChatGPT has brought the world's figurative Eye Of Sauron on developing human-level AI, we're going to see a lot of progress very quickly.

In my experience, ER in the US can bill you at the highest rate pretty frivolously.

I've been in the ER for "difficulty breathing", which was billed at the highest level, although still made to wait ~2 hours in waiting rooms before seeing _any_ medical professional.

I've also been in the ER when brought in by an ambulance, in which case I was seen immediately.

These were both billed at the highest level, when the 1st case clearly shouldn't have been.
I really wish I could buy a miniature heat pump to blow cold air on my body or face instead of cooling my entire room.

Obviously there would be 2 units, one inside and one outside, but mobile AC units are way too big, consume too much power, and suck hot air from outside which is quite inefficient (the physics are simple, a mobile AC units ejects hot air outside, so air must enter the room somehow).

I hope it would be possible to have a small, simpler heat pump that use something else than a refrigerant gas, maybe co2.

I could buy the cheapest fridge and make one, but I can't extend the range of the gaz pipe.
This reminds me of the supply chain attack experts who's only solution seems to be blocking postinstall scripts.

Just for balance, the US had Canada arrest a chinese national who had never been to the USA, for doing business with Iran (and then a bunch of other weird charges)

China then "co-incidentally" arrested 2 Canadians.

The whole thing is a shit show and it would be better for everyone if countries were more reasonable and agreed to avoid a "race to the bottom"

unrelated to your question: Your website's very pretty, but doesn't scroll horizontally on mobile. It also looks like there might be a bug in the code sample - where does "fingerprint" come from?
The clean design looks great. The cold start problem around an HR problem is pretty hard. How are you handling it?
The intended purpose of both Server Push and Early Hints is basically "Lower overall latency by letting the client know early on that there is more data it might need in subsequent requests." But in practice Early Hints are much better because only the client knows definitively if it needs the resource or not i.e. a 103 might say "you might need this file soon" but you already have it in cache.

Both approaches would still require the server to have some knowledge about the semantic request/response structure of client applications, though.

Well written, and agreed.

What I find in particularly striking is how dating/marriage in both articles and comments is described in such mechanical terms. As a market. You being the consumer matching specs against supply.

The absolute most important thing, actual love for somebody, seems an outdated concept. It's utility now. What can you do FOR ME, the obvious center of the universe?

Some seem angry with this "product" marriage. It doesn't seem to do exactly what they want, kind of like a bad product to be returned.

> Psychedelics and other serotenergic drugs are becoming the defacto treatment method for a whole host of ailments.

They are definitely not. Anecdotes aside, psychedelics are extremely overhyped right now and the downsides are heavily downplayed online. The studies about psychedelics and depression use heavy amounts of therapy and careful professional guidance, which the at-home experimenters don’t get.

Psychedelics can also produce intense negative reactions, such as persistent false beliefs or even a worsening of anxiety and depression that lasts for some time. Many people online rush to dismiss these negative anecdotes if their personal experience was different, but they’re much more common than enthusiastic internet commenters would suggest.
I wonder if there's any sources for those images that aren't cough restricted. Could be interesting to play with, though maybe not worth paying for.

I must be missing something obvious. What's malicious about the word "keygen"?

What's the issue with ssh-keygen? gpg --gen-key?
Yeah, no, it has not.

It's not possible, because there's no way to distinguish what the previous value was.
> Moving your arms, yes, but not your wrists!. Unless you want a row of keys stretching six times as wide as a standard keyboard, we are talking about entirely different movements here.

Not really. It's the obsession with home row that creates wrist-twisting.

> What we really need to do for PC keyboards is split the keyboard into two halves and get rid of the typewriter column stagger.

I'm self-taught and instead use the edges of the keyboard to orient myself, and use my shoulders and elbows to move my forearm inwards from a very different resting positing. Not much wrist movement.

(for anyone curious, my usual resting keys are around shift/a/w/d/space and alt/l/p/[/] on a US qwerty keyboard, but it's not strict)
Two reasons. One, yes they have gotten more efficient, and depending on your local climate, are now possibly the most efficient method for heating your home.

Two, the switch to renewable energy is resulting in a push for the “electrification of everything”. Getting home appliances that previously burned fossil fuels onto the electric grid enables emissions-free methods of power generation to be used in the future, even if they are not in use yet.

And even with fossil-fuel burning power plants, they have an economy of scale much greater than the furnace in your home. So using electricity generated at a fossil-fuel burning power plant to power your heat pump will still result in less emissions than burning that fuel for heat directly in your home.
It's especially frustrating for me since they're the only registrar to support my chosen TLD of .cx :/

Do you mean modern games should cater to a diversity of hardware configurations, and not just "enthusiast builds" with top-end GPUs and multi-core CPUs?

Automated performance testing by QA on various "hardware profiles" could help here.

How the Space Force Will Avoid a ‘Pearl Harbor’ in Space
PhD training teaches people how to not plateau, as (1) it teaches one how to focus on the unknowns (in that context, in the entire field, so one can dig into them; more easily applicable to one’s own knowledge) and (2) teaches one how to learn without professors / classes, which mostly consists of evaluating the quality of textbooks and/ or research papers in a field, and also how to skim at just the right level so as to learn what one needs to know.
OpenAI (accidentally?) confirmed in a recent paper that they used synthetic data in the training set for GPT-4, so to some extent this has already happened. It's not clear whether they did any human filtering on that data though.
The one thing that is missing from this article is that heat pumps can only create a certain temperature difference (while remaining efficient). In Europe, most houses are heated by pumping hot water through radiators (as opposed to blowing hot air around). Heatpumps can typically only heat that water up to 30 to 40 degrees Celsius while remaining efficient, which is not enough to heat the old, badly insulated houses in Europe. They need to renovate houses first, insulate them and replace the radiators.
> They use a different cycle with the refrigerant.

No, every major consumer air conditioner and every major consumer heat pump on the market that I'm aware of uses the same cycle (the vapor compression cycle). The only difference between a vapor compression cycle AC and a vapor compression cycle heat pump is which of the two loops is being used as a heat sink and which as a heat source. You could in theory do this by simply reversing the flow direction in the refrigerant loop, but in practice the better approach is to do the same thing with valves, allowing the compressor to always operate with the same flow direction.

It's important to distinguish between the heat pump itself and the heat exchange medium used to transport that heat into a given space though. If you try to connect a heat pump meant to replace a radiator system in an old (or european) dwelling, the radiators we're really designed for cooling, and you may have performance issues. But that has nothing to do with the heat pump itself.

Sure, there might be some in some markets, but when I go to the store around here practically none of them are heat pumps. They're rare to find shopping around for some reason.

Like, look at this list. How many will heat? Probably none.

https://www.lowes.com/pl/Window-air-conditioners-Room-air-co...

I can walk into a dozen stores selling window AC units around me with hundreds in stock ready to go today. If I want one with heat near me, I'll have to custom order online. Thus, the vast majority of window AC units you'll encounter in most of the US are cooling-only unless the person knew they could order one which does heat from someplace else online.
Isn't there a theory that any nootropic substance needs to have a downside or we would have naturally evolved it by now? I am amused thinking of the idea that this drug being a laxative is that downside
Also known as a clbuttic error.
I think it's just a pun based on consistency models.
None of what you've said is true. It's trivial to mount heat pumps to a wall - they're fairly light.

I recently did it on the outside of my brick apartment in NYC. No special equipment needed.
Hmm, SMS, that feels like outdated technology, especially since in most parts of the world people use WhatsApp, which is free, and the cheapest phone tariffs still charge a few cents per SMS.

Depends on the product. For Game Reviews, Steam reviews are better.

The problem with reddit is that just because someone recommends a product, doesn't mean they actually bought/experienced it. That being said it is a great way to find a product's defects, as people usually post to reddit.
