No, the salt water you're about to discharge it into.

Have a pump that draws in 10L of ocean water for every 1L of brine you need to dispose of, mix 'em up, and discharge the 11L of only-slightly-saltier water back into the sea.

Not sure when it makes more sense to do that vs. having a leach-field type of brine discharge. They both ultimately do the same thing, but one requires more mechanicals, the other requires more piping and "passive" infrastructure.
Steve Irwin's death[0] has never not been on my mind anytime a stingray gets near me. I'm like "hey little fella, I'm going to slowly back away to avoid both of us freaking out and one of us may end up dead."

Under confidence is extremely rare in new and inexperienced coders.

For me, what really boosted my confidence long term was getting yelled at by people who actually knew what they were doing because I sure didn’t. But that ended up being more of a bathtub curve of confidence.
Cool, I'll give it a spin. Thanks, Ben!

This is an interesting point. If you read the OSI open source definition, specifically on source code (quoted below) I'm inclined to treat the training data as part of the source code for the purpose of determining whether to consider any model open source.

2. Source Code
The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in source code as well as compiled form. Where some form of a product is not distributed with source code, there must be a well-publicized means of obtaining the source code for no more than a reasonable reproduction cost, preferably downloading via the Internet without charge. The source code must be the preferred form in which a programmer would modify the program. Deliberately obfuscated source code is not allowed. Intermediate forms such as the output of a preprocessor or translator are not allowed.

The older I get, the more I appreciate the sheer vastness of space and the amount of stuff in it, and contrasting the size of it to our little pale blue dot. The Nihilists will say our time here is all meaningless and we'll eventually be swallowed by the Sun if we don't go star faring. We better get our act together in terms of space travel before it's too late.

We need to think long-term and occupy Mars, then taken to its logical conclusion: Von Neumann machines which populate our galaxy. That's if we're not sucked into the black hole in the center of our galaxy. But at least we gave it a shot. We outsmarted the natural cycles of the solar system and transcended it, possibly building a Dyson sphere around the Sun and then hopped to other star systems and built Dyson spheres around them.

When I was young, I knew the Universe was very big. But over the years, helped by various documentaries, YouTube videos, and various psychedelics, I surmised we are destined for something much more than mere Earth. Our spirit cries for space travel, yet at the same time it's hampered by the rape of the planet and late-stage capitalism and 'infinite growth' at all costs.
Correct me if I am wrong as I am not a physicist. I see a point that is important to consider, that you have potentially overlooked. First, you assume that dissolution of salt is a completely reversible thermodynamic process, which is fine. But considering it a reversible process, in order to reverse the process we need to do a certain amount of work which you have calculated. In order to do work we need an engine. The most efficient possible engine is a Carnot engine. It is known that a Carnot engine can never be 100% efficient (unless we can achieve infinite or zero temperature). Given that you calculated the amount of work needed to reverse the process, you still need to bound the efficiency by the efficiency of a Carnot engine. Alternatively you need to factor in the efficiency of a Carnot engine to get the minimum required energy input.
We are building the world's highest temperature heat pump.
It can reach 1000℉, when other commercial heat pumps usually reach a maximum of 320 ℉.

It is a big deal because factories have to rely on polluting natural gas to produce their process heat.

We estimate that it represents 3% of the world’s annual CO2 emissions and a $10B+ annual market opportunity.

We are currently building a 5kW prototype at 480℉/250C to cook french fries for McCain (world's largest manufacturer of frozen potato products), our industrial partner for the first pilot.

That's awesome! At least in my limited experience developing health care hardware is much more challenging when there isn't a clear "regulatory path" that has been done before. Which makes it harder for completely novel devices (eg versus making an improved pacemaker which already has been approved)
Just look at this thread for price estimates. $2-5 is pretty reasonable, even assuming a cost breakdown with energy at 10% and capital/infrastructure at 90% of the final cost.
I understood that company to be Supermicro, though I've never dealt with them so I could be wrong.
There was another post that was on the front page earlier today that pretty much asked: if the [Canadian] government hates [Facebook] social media platform so much, why don't they just build their own? https://loeber.substack.com/p/10-why-is-there-no-government-...

And I agree with the author that it's sort of weird that for all the handwringing and grandstanding these governments are doing, none of them are willing to build a replacement platform for their users
Inventing an entire pseudoscientific field and then being mad no one wants to engage your arguments is ultimate "debate me" poster behavior.
I think it was abundantly clear that "If the government pays 2x" was a generic hypothetical number.

Thank you for ignoring 95% of my post with that useless rejection.
>> why drive kids in a car at all if this concerns them this much?

Because they have to

Genuinely confused what stance you're taking here
For the really good candidates (IE, ones who can answer basic programming questions and explain how a hash table works), I have an open-ended question which is really an open question in an active field. I really hoped I'd get candidates who would get that far (https://arxiv.org/abs/1309.2975) so that I could finally get some interesting answers I haven't heard before but most candidates I end up interviewing struggle to explain a hash table and what its advantages/disadvantages for counting unique k-mers are.
I would also add that the hope trajectory is quite right in the simulation. You really should start quite high and it starts dropping until your first conference, but then towards the middle of the PhD it gets very low. It only really goes up again when the end is in sight.

In the game it pretty much continously went up.
Our device is for inpatient use, so it's a little more complicated than your typical DIY APS you might be used to as a T1/T2. You have to account for all kinds of different drug interactions, perfusion issues, undergoing surgical procedures, etc etc. The biggest single difference is that we use dextrose as a way to quickly recover from lows (like an automated orange juice dispenser).

Because we're in the hospital and can access IV lines, we also have rapid access to data, and the drugs we infuse get taken up much quicker (5-10 minutes for insulin, 3 minutes for dextrose).

The terminology is overlapping but the space is very different than outpatient glucose control.
Is there any documentation showing what kind of performance is given up by shoving a userspace server into the SQLite read path? LiteFS looks cool but I'd be worried about all block IO basically becoming a cross-process RPC negating large chunks of SQLite's efficiency. Instinct is screaming this should be a VFS extension for SQLite, but definitely appreciate the idea of doing it as a virtual filesystem.

In terms of pure perversion, I'm wondering if fanotify or kernel tracepoints could be used to gather the information needed asynchronously rather than sticking a userspace server in the way
We have tax-backed CBC for that (+other tax supported media)

Compiled object code of a bunch of code you didn't write. I don't know why programmers are so eager to forget that copyright is not at all about what something is, and all about where it came from. It'd be hard to assert that you hold copyright over object code compiled from code you didn't write!
There are no cures; but there are treatments that can delay onset, slow progression, and improve quality of life to varying extents depending on which disease.

I'm not misunderstanding anything, you're claiming I am just to "win" some internet points. How many times do I have to write "don't take anything at face value"? I assess the content (from multiple sources) not the messenger, of course the messenger counts but that goes both ways (bias is a thing).

You claim Docker is pushing Docker desktop over Podman or even their own daemon is out of goodwill and not for telemetry? You have to go out of your way to find the instructions for just the daemon without the bloat. But you're paranoid some blog will trick you into running 'rm -rf /' as root because the source is an "individual"? (straw-man yes, but lacking examples I have to make one up).

You won't even provide a single example of a better source when asked, just hand-waving "institutions good, individuals bad". There's nothing constructive in this chain, and we're going in circles. I'm genuinely curious of your examples, so if you want to be constructive instead of focusing on my worries please provide some. If not, I wish you the best day.

with seq 1 10 | vim - | cat > x, I get "Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal" and the pipeline appears to hang, but actually the output is going to "x". In other words, your command deletes some unknown files depending on your terminal setup.
Another programmer showed me what he was working on. He tried to implement a driver for some badly documented virtual hardware, but couldn’t figure out, why the set of bytes he used didn’t work. I knew about big and little endian and suggested to simply turn the order of the bytes around. It worked immediately and I had solved a problem that had him puzzled for some days. This gave me confidence that despite my little coding experience at that time I could still make a positive impact.

You're back to the word "civilians" again. And I don't accept that law enforcement's lives are worth less than lawbreakers' lives.
Yeah, typing from memory, so got it wrong.
Not sure what you are referring to about a strap being a single point of failure.

no, individuals should play by the sames rules of the collective as everybody else.

There is nothing wrong with you advocating and/or successfully changing the rules of the patent system so all players must behave this way, but trying to shame a small entrepreneur into being boy scout is ihmo bad for all of us. I bristle at all the moralizing people do on the daily.

You can run the underlying single static binary as a service any non-docker way you like.

Your applications would be talking to it over a socket using a known and documented protocol so the implementation language isn't something the client code should be expected to need to care about at all.

The Amiga was vastly superior to the Mac. Sure the Mac had every pixel in place. It looked like something overpriced, and it was for what little it could do.

The Amiga didn't look as slick but I could digitize images and record sound, and edit them in full color and in stereo. On the Mac, you were limited to desktop publishing because you could do that with only black and white. The Amiga OS looked a lot better with v2.x.
> it's to counter an economic incentive they have.

I think economists would call that a feature and not a bug. It is essentially an auction (something economists LOVE). You could instead take that money that you're spending on surveillance and instead spend it on giving the contractors a bonus to show up to your place instead.

I really don't buy that this would "shame" them into coming to your place first. Everyone already is aware that they don't always show up because you got out bid. You're "solving" the problem the wrong way because you're not addressing the actual problem.
Nowadays, Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS.

Nice, and about the right length for exploring the initial ruleset. (Except the red floor squares, which I saw on one level, didn't interact with, and then never saw again so I don't know what they actually do).

I think it desperately needs an undo on death, and ideally should have player-triggerable undo/restart.

Given the rest of the game, I was a bit dismayed at the end seeing that it had basically been a scored playthrough. If I'd known the moves were being counted, I would have played better! This won't apply to everyone, but there is a subset of players (like me) who really like knowing what to optimize for, so having a hidden scoring system be sprung on the player at the end is a bit of a betrayal.

+1 on the arrow direction vs. movement direction mapping being a problem on keyboard. 95% of the time I was in a flow state and it wasn't an issue, but if I made a mistake I'd immediately lose faith in having the right mapping, start second-guessing myself, and make follow-up mistakes.

My biggest wish for rust regex was support for ARM SIMD. Currently the literal optimization is only vectorized on x86. It seems that the author doesn’t own an ARM machine, and therefore can’t test implementation and so doesn’t want to support it.
This is great. An OPML version of this would be great to bulk IMPORT the RSS/ATOM feeds into your favorite feed reading app.
Okay? You have "malicious" extension. Why would you allow it to run everyhere ?

No they shouldn't: anything that's "pay for play" is morally bankrupt. It reinforces the stigma that there are different rules for the rich in this country.

You might argue that a private institution can do whatever it wants, and I agree. But in this case it should get 0 tax benefits/subsidies, esp. when they have $B+ endowments.

I started in the dirtiest ugliest codebase imaginable. I worked on a MUD descended from DikuMUD (and originally written by native danish speakers). Seeing code that ugly that worked and making it better, faster and more readable gave me the confidence that I can make a significant impact. Moving into the professional world I found that corners are constantly cut and I can always clean up shoddy implementations and make them cleaner. I've gone on to be a developer, data architect, lead and manager and it's always great to find new experiences.
you can use https://turso.tech for that, which makes SQLite replicated, and available over HTTP. It's designed to work on environments where LiteFS won't (since it needs a volume).
I would add a shuffle button that opens a random blog so it’s nicer to discover something new compared to endless paginations.
This is my take. Bad law, but the government should never have been advertising there in the first place.
How to exploit an API using prototype pollution
A few years ago I made a Kickstarter for an augmented reality helmet -

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/realjds/spartan-hud-nex...

Fun project, made some sales and a small profit, then hand-built and delivered the units from my apartment. Lots of learnings.

Applied to YC and got an interview but ultimately didn't get in - I agree with their feedback that the platform was too general and "lacked a killer app". But it's a cool research platform due to its generality: you get a full Linux computer in your heads-up display, and can connect arbitrary USB peripherals (we had a version with a depth-sensing camera).

Over the last year on weekends I've been working on a new light-weight version that allows one to drop in their smartphone or other ~5" screen, and actually orienting a specific version towards the sport of airsoft. Polycarbonate encasing around a modified helmet protects the electronics as well as the user's head.

Hope to try it out sometime later this year; lately I've been pre-occupied with my day job and learning all the new AI software and theory out there.

If anyone is interested in this project and wants to connect, ask questions, etc, feel free to reach out via email (in my profile). Cheers!
The good thing for us is that artificial pancreases are regulated not as one device, but as three separate (interoperable) devices: the pumps, the sensors, and the control software. Only our control software is under a de-novo pathway ("totally new thing" pathway), everything else is 510k ("we know what this thing is" pathway). We also have Breakthrough Device designation, which really accelerates the regulatory timeline
I was a part of GE Aviation's Leadership Program and they definitely started looking towards especially more local schools towards the end of my program. They found that people who were from more local schools were more likely to stay longer term after the program finished. Most of the people they hired from the larger schools would leave pretty quickly after finishing the program.

You are right, I got my stats terms mixed up.

The "Improving Judgements" portion uses interviews as a case study and builds up from "just have a chat" to the typical multi-round panel interview with pre-defined rubrics that we see in tech these days. When done correctly, the book suggests this is the best we can do short of hiring everyone and firing low performers soon after.

I remember they specifically mention Google as one of the companies where they ran a study linking interview practices/decisions to on-the-job performance.

Is it just coincidence that all the builds in the "after" screenshot for the pipeline lists are MR builds, or have the details of whether a build is for a tag, branch or MR been removed? That is the main thing I look at when skimming that list to determine whether I care about a failed build.
You're correct that Litestream supports SFTP, however, the underlying tool here is LiteFS. I'm the author of both. Litestream works great if you're running a single node. The SFTP support works but can be slow.

LiteFS builds on some of the initial concepts of Litestream but it adds the ability to do live read replication so you can have copies of your SQLite database on all your application nodes.

In hindsight, I probably should have thought of less confusing names so they wouldn't be mistaken for one another. :)
Between 1949 and 1987, US private companies were forced to pay for and produce high quality news content under guidelines set by the federal government.

One of the conditions of ABC, CBS and NBC being given access to the airwaves was that they had to produce and distribute high quality news broadcasts. News was considered a public good.

From wikipedia:

The fairness doctrine had two basic elements: It required broadcasters to devote some of their airtime to discussing controversial matters of public interest, and to air contrasting views regarding those matters. Stations were given wide latitude as to how to provide contrasting views: It could be done through news segments, public affairs shows, or editorials. The doctrine did not require equal time for opposing views but required that contrasting viewpoints be presented. The demise of this FCC rule has been cited as a contributing factor in the rising level of party polarization in the United States.
Even if this is marketing fluff it's still a remarkable statement, especially considering what they've already done with AI as of now.
It's not about known malicious extensions, it's about known trusted extensions.
