People with a problem want a solution to their problem. Even if it's a placebo effect, or reversion to mean, or whatever, having done something and seeing results is empowering. Most of these drugs have some effect on the person, whether or not it's what was intended or if it's helpful, is another story, but you can take the drug, see that it's doing something, and be hopeful that it's doing the right thing.

Other options like talk therapy are labor intensive, inconsistent, and has limited availability. Finding a pill that works for you can also be labor intensive if you have to try a lot of them and titrate the dosage, but if you can, then it's relatively simple to take it on the schedule, and have infrequent follow up visits; doctors who prescribe these drugs also have limited availability, although some primary care doctors will prescribe some of the ones considered to be safer.

Copyright is for things that are the result of human creativity. If the weights come from running an algorithm on a training set (that one does not have a copyright to) then how can the weights then be copyrightable? They might be a derivative work, but that just means they infringe copyright, not that they are copyrightable themselves.
There's no reason you couldn't just switch a couple valves out in your AC and perhaps change the refrigerant to make it into a serviceable heat pump. However, you'd need to retrofit controls/electronics, which I don't think most HVAC technicians would know how to do. It's also not advisable to attempt to DIY something like this because it is very easy to accidentally vent the refrigerant, which is a very potent greenhouse gas.
I see GPT as a primitive AGI. Why not?

I guess everyone actually means ASI when they say AGI?
Maybe this doesn’t count, but Deno Deploy dictates Deno. I’m finding it pretty nice so far.

It will be more compelling when the FoundationDB-based KV store is finished. At that point there will be enough to write full web apps without any external API’s, so I can use it to build the simple hobby websites that I used to use AppEngine for. (For now I’m trying it out using Neon for Postgres.)

It’s still for developers rather than nontechnical users, but this may be simple enough to deal with that it does some of what Sandstorm promised to do for things like blogging. Or maybe a personal Fediverse server?

It would be nice to have a second source for Deno-based hosting, but in a pinch I could put Deno and my apps in a Docker container and run it anywhere, though probably not for free.
In physics we call a device that uses the compression and expansion of a fluid to move heat between parts of a system a heat pump.

An air conditioner uses a compressor to convert a refrigerant and sends the compressed fluid through a condenser. The condenser rejects heat from the system into the environment. This is the component of an air conditioner that is found outside. The compressed fluid is then passed through an expansion valve and into an evaporator where it is allowed to expand. Expansion is a process that requires heat. The heat flows into the expanding fluid from the environment inside the home. Air is blown across the evaporator coils to transfer heat energy from the home into the fluid which is then returned outside.

A heat pump is capable of reversing the flow of heat energy. The flow of fluid is reversed from an air-conditioner using something called a reversing valve. The compressor sends compressed fluid into the home where heat is rejected through the evaporator coil. The fluid then flows into the condenser coil and is allowed to expand outside, drawing in heat from the outside environment. The heated fluid is then returned to the compressor and the cycle continues.

In HVAC terminology an Air Conditioner is a one way physical heat pump and a heat pump is a bidirectional physical heat pump. Hopefully that helps clear it up a bit.
Yeah, basically. Their main goal is to emit their energy via light, not heat, and while if you fire one right into a dense, dry forest it won’t go well, their standard use has their explosion occur in the open air, after which the remains are generally pretty cool.
As a current PhD student, the stress of this simulator felt way too real to be comfortable.
I mean, you could comment on slashdot or your personal blog, but you chose to comment here. Why? I'm also commenting here, mind you, but part of the reason is the network effect.

It's a spectrum, and somewhere between one person, all alone, shouting into the void, and drinking telepathically from the firehose of all human thought, there's a happy medium place that isn't too noisy but also doesn't feel empty and desolate. Small and homely is also tiny and dying, with no conversations. Look at Lobste.rs. Even if I had an account there, the lack of conversation - I don't know that I'd comment there at all.

An alternative to contenteditable is to use a plain <textarea>, measure the inline width of the rendered text to get the absolute position of each word, and then overlay styles on top.

You need to debounce/throttle the change event handler to not fire too many re renders when typing.

Pretty sure all acs sold here can reverse and heat a bit.
And that's why you see fireplaces/stoves in a lot of houses in the northeast, even if they have gas/electric heat.
> I can't speak for other industries but I know in tech, the college you went to is basically irrelevant 1-2 years into your career.

Anecdotally that isn't true. I am not trying to come off like a dick here but hiring manager is (probably) rarely on the level where people care about this stuff.

I was well over a decade into my career as a software engineer before HR types and executives stopped (openly, outwardly) giving a shit about the fact that I didn't have a degree. I made it through the front door based on my network, which I sincerely lucked into.

I absolutely believe (based on analyzing conversations and remarks made with these HR types and executives but also managers over the years) that I was passed over for promotions and given smaller starting salaries and pay bumps because of this. Yes, that did eventually stop. Where I am today, I know for a fact (if you can trust Blind, levels.fyi, and personal anecdotes, etc.) that I out earn some of my peers with equal education and tenure because of my specific experiences and skills, but it came at a cost for a long, long time.
If you don't understand the process which actually benefits from CentOS (as-it-was), then your redefinition of the problem domain still does not resolve the actual problem.
If CentOS didn't deliver on its promises while under Red Hat ownership, that's on Red Hat. The problems still needs to be solved (thus, Alma and Rocky), and no amount of corporate shilling results in Red Hat's deception going unnoticed for what it is. It is abundantly clear that Red Hat, under IBM, has led an effort more to deceive and extract profit than to be an honest, good-faith actor in FOSS communities.
The commentor you've replied to says:

> The best faith interpretation I can come up with, is in fact for security purposes. It creates restrictions on (at least from Mozilla’s perspective) untrusted extensions. I mean how many extensions are there that do act maliciously? It probably isn’t trivial.

My best interpretation of that is it allows organizations to more easily allow some extensions while disallowing others.
there's a lot you can still do before involving the pricey engineers. Having people just sit down and consider requirements, talking to users, and thinking about what the app should essentially do, while also incorporating a ux/designer as needed to create mocks prior to building an application is still way more cost effective than just telling a developer to "build me an app that ingests all the data at our company"...which is a lovely experience I've had (I'm exaggerating but I had a one page doc about a useless description about data ingestion with no description about users).

Heck I've even built hobby projects where I considered many of the details of requirements beforehand and saved myself a lot of time in developing features I wasn't sure about.
> Why would the government want to facilitate communication between citizens?

I have thought about this, and the only idea that would probably be useful for public support is discourse in support of education/information.

Phrased differently, social media amplified disinformation. Arguably if done correctly discourse can be done without uselessness.

In other words, I would argue that social media could be useful for example: to provide near real time updates on public concern: Wildfires, for example.

But I would argue that you don't want government supported "influencers" or, you know, tax payer money being used to post cat memes.
I think the idea would be that it's easier to list common targets than to play after-the-fact whack-a-mole with malicious extensions. The former makes it less lucrative to sneak your malicious code into an extension, because you don't get that window of being able to harvest data before it's noticed.
Luckily, the local grid here in AZ is fairly robust, probably one of the best in the US. During the 3 years I lived in DC area, I probably had 3 or 4 power outages due to weather (ranging from a couple hours to multiple days).

In the 30+ years I have lived in Arizona, I have experienced probably 2 outages, lasting a total of a few hours (one was when a car hit a transformer, the other was when a microburst knocked a bunch of aging poles down).

The last outage I had was like 6-8 years ago.

Name the most important thing in the news from two weeks ago.

You can't. Neither can I. The difference between you and I is, I didn't waste my time or energy keeping up with utterly inane "news" that I have zero agency to react to in any meaningful way.

Here's the really ironic part: Fox news viewers are less informed than those that watch no news[0]. So not only are news viewers more depressed and angry about things they have zero influence over (see also other comments regarding "circle of influence" and "circle of concern"), they are more ignorant to boot!

and this makes it even more ironic:

I've likewise read arguments that AC is linked to the substantial economic growth in the second half of the 20th century, in regions like southern France, southern Japan, and the southern United States. All regions that historically lagged economically behind their culturally and economically similar more northern counterpart regions. Hard to say how much of a factor, but there has to be some truth to it: just imagine productivity in a Texas factory at 40 °C and 90% humidity vs. 25 °C and 50% humidity.
> because they only use electricity for fuel which can potentially be supplied by "renewable" sources.

They also can operate at >100% efficiency. Under the right conditions (I'll let someone who knows more about it fill that in) they can provide more heat than the same amount of power going into a resistive heater (which is I think per-se 100% efficient right?). Kinda wild.
Stop using centralized software distribution systems. F-Droid, Debian etc are run by international communities, support Tor, and cannot be censored as long as we maintain access to the internet.
Although natural gas is "clean" compared to, say, coal, the advantage of a heat pump is that it uses less total energy than natural gas. That means it would be more efficient to run a heat pump off a natural gas power plant than to burn natural gas to heat your home directly.
It is naive (in the USA, at least); doctors apply standards of care, even if they personally would not recommend them in a certain set of circumstances, to avoid lawsuits and generate income for the hospital. “My daughter killed herself bc she wasn’t prescribed medication/other intervention” (she could have killed herself regardless). A patient may sue a doctor who didn’t perform an unnecessary intervention, just because there is money on the table, and hospitals reward doctors who “perform”.

To avoid unnecessary interventions, you need the advice of a family friend who is also a doctor specializing in that particular field :)
doing a PhD for the earning potential is hilarious. you'd be better off getting a normal job, living frugally, and pumping as much into savings for the same amount of time
An A/C works almost identical to your refrigerator. Using a closed loop of refrigerant with specific thermal properties, it will remove heat from one side and emit heat from the other.

If you are able to run this system backwards, you could in theory swap which side is a heat sink (the cold side) and heat source (the hot side). While a traditional A/C cannot do this, heat pumps can electronically switch which side of the system is collecting the heat and which side is releasing it.

This is an improvement over resistive heating (think space heater) because we’re not pumping electricity into some filament that resists current flow and emits off heat due to the resistance. Instead, we are taking heat from inside and moving it out or taking heat from outside and moving it in.

Fun fact, a resistive heating device is a rare case of something being 100% electrically efficient in that all the energy it uses will be turned into heat, whereas heat normally is a byproduct of imperfect conductors, which everything is, and is therefore considered wasted energy in almost all other applications.
> why is this downvoted? They literaly don't care about their users at all, in any sense.

Because comments like this add nothing to the discourse. They're angry opinions that serve only to attract controversy. I'd call it flamebait except I do think the comments are made in good faith, even if they aren't constructive or particularly interesting.
I think there has to be a middle ground. Once I read a foxnews article about a toddler getting shot in some sort of road rage just when I was about to sleep and his last words haunted me all night and I couldn't sleep (I have kids of similar age). I am not even a regular fox reader fwiw, but clearly there are news outlets that are putting news out there to cause certain anxiety in their audience. I have since made a rule that, avoid news articles before going to bed (and I mean from all sources).

I still read news and I can handle a lot more with a cup of coffee and clear head in the morning. But my mind is just not ready to deal with stuff at night (reminds me of song - "Why do the monsters come out at night?" )

It's not empirically testable. Nobody has truly died and come back and no one can. Even if all religions are false it does not follow that there is absolutely nothing after clinical death.

This is just a limitation of science, because we need a conscious mind to test and/or interpret the results.
The issue with swamp coolers (evaporative cooling) is that you need relatively low humidity for them to work and they increase the humidity of the interior cooled environment. If you use them in combination with an air conditioner, they will very likely reduce the efficiency of the air conditioner by increasing the dehumidification load of the air conditioner.
So, we have here:

A person that publicly curses out the military, while on a job conference paid by her employer, and while the military is their client, and adds vile personal attacks to that. The justification for it - "I was mad". Sure, then of course it makes it ok, of course if you're mad the rules no longer apply to you, sorry we even asked.

Refuses to promise she wouldn't keep doing it, while having the gall to "propose to improve" the guidelines so that they suit her personally. Probably adding "all the above doesn't apply if the employee feels mad at DoD for existing".

Refuses to admit there's anything wrong about inflammatory offensive cussing (I'm not talking about serene or even heated political debate, "fuck you" is not that) - again, while being on the job, and repeatedly being suggested by hr that it's not how things are done.

Signing the NDA, because sweet sweet money.

Violating the NDA as soon as she's sure they won't ask for the money back, because agreements are for other people to follow.

Somehow making it all Trumps fault because sure, that's what Trump was doing for 4 years, personally ensuring this person could not tell her bombshell story.

Looks like a nice person to work with, yep.
Yet many of these same people complain about adding things that would sustain long term development of said game. Paid DLCs and purely cosmetic micro transactions are met with derision, despite them being completely unnecessary to enjoy the base game while providing the developers a continued source of income that is necessary to continue development.

As painful as it can be at times, it is a truly beautiful phase of life during which your main obligations are to become an expert in something that interests you and to make enough money to not starve and have a place to live. If you are single, coming directly from the "broke college student" lifestyle, and end up at a university with a good stipend, it won't even feel like you are "poor" and the money is mostly enough. But the life of a grad student in a large public university can come with much more financial instability and heavier teaching loads from day one, with less time for slacking off and letting ideas marinate. Less so if you are in a field/have an advisor with good/consistent funding. The devil is in the details.

Wouldn't change it for the world though, and anecdotally most people I know who ended up finishing the PhD feel the same way.

Main shortcoming of the (American) grad school experience imo is lack of preparation to join the corporate workforce (in my field, there are easily >10x the graduating PhDs each year than there are available university jobs). Academia has done a terrible job preparing grad students for the harsh reality of a non-academic career. Keeping this in mind throughout grad school will help a lot -- you can see the difference in non-academic career trajectory between people who had a backup plan and those who didn't.

There is actually efficiency issues with the high heat... but they do help offset the AC requirements, so overall even if the efficiency is down 20-40% because of heat, you require potentially 20-50% less A/C because it shades the roof.
> Literally everyone has a massive incentive to make green hydrogen work.

There is also the reality that certain company have taken a lot of money for a long time without producing many results. Specially if its fossil fuel companies that rubs people the wrong way. Just as giving money to Ford and GM wasn't the solution to get EV going. So its understandable that many people don't love the promotion of it.

I am as anti-hydrogen as anybody but I do believe it has a place. However, it should be limited and only used in places where you really need it. So instead of using it in transportation, using it in the chemical industry makes much more sense. Its simply not needed for the overwhelming majority of transportation applications. And even for the the stuff that is left over its often questionable if its worth developing the new infrastructure. Using it for personal vehicle and most cargo transport is utterly idiotic. Using it for most trains is idiotic. The list goes on.

Some people believe the massive steel CO2 use will be solved with hydrogen, but as with transport, there are better ways forward then that in my opinion. But again, hydrogen is getting the lions share of investment there too.

In general I am much more against they 'hydrogen economy' idea and concept, rather then hydrogen. Using energy to split water is reasonable, but most of the time hydrogen is just a short temporary state until it gets turned into something else. Very different from the hydrogen economy people in-visioned.

Another question is if electrolysis of access renewable production is really a great path forward.

I think that comparing it to the police in the Philippines would be more appropriate.

Have to imagine that the niche market for making 40F/4C "cold" water from luke-warm tap water (if you live in an area that is so hot the tap water is warm) is fairly small.
