Depends on whether they are reversible or not. Reversible ones, which can act as AC in summer, simply reverse themselves and act briefly as AC, essentially using heat taken from inside the house to defrost themselves. Only a little heat is needed relative to heat capacity of a warm house. Mine does that. However, it still has resistive heating strips for emergency heating and for when the temperature falls too low for it to keep up.
I'm not sure where to post this reply but I have a hot take cooking up for about a week now: Is it too crazy to just leave a clustered SQL DB open to the Internet, static asset on S3, and call it THE backend of a social-* (-networking, -game) app? It's mostly SQL anyway. Maybe a message signing system like IPsec auth header can be set up with a client cert, and TLS packet encryption can be dropped, if it's going to be public data or data is to be advertised as "e2e encrypted". Isn't that going to cut a lot of backend cost?
No advertisements? Is that a conversational data collection tool? What is the TOS? What kind of data are they upvoting ?

Huh? This doesn't make sense. Lots of modern maps even have north pointing somewhere other than up, though they use a marker to indicate which way is north.

It doesn't matter which way you point a piece of paper: the North Pole is always going to be the North Pole, and the South Pole is always going to be in Antarctica (until the continent drifts, though the pole will still be there). The names of these poles may have been originally chosen centuries ago because popular maps pointed that way, but now those names are fixed by definition.
A tad similar story with my experience.

There are no enemies. The biosphere is a singular organism and right now people are doing their best to basically destroy all of it. The only way to prevent further damage is to reduce the human population but that's another non-starter so as long as the human population is increasing it will compel the people in charge to continue pushing for more technological "innovation" because technology is the best way to control 8B+ people[1].

Very few people are actually alarmed about the right issues (in no particular order): population size, industrial pollution, military-industrial complex, for-profit multi-national corporations, digital surveillance, factory farming, global warming, &etc. This is why the alarmism from the AI crowd seems disingenuous because AI progress is simply an extension of for-profit corporatism and exploitation applied to digital resources and to properly address the risk from AI would require addressing the actual root causes of why technological progress is misaligned with human values.

Ariane Next is not a real thing yet. Its just some concepts that some of the European space agencies are playing around with.

To actually build a next generation Ariane rocket they will need a huge amount of political buy-in from the ESA memeber states. And they will not get that anytime soon. The barley got the Ariane 6 over the finish line.

It will be many, many years before they even seriously start an actual design process for Ariane Next.
I am also interested in alternatives to the 4 document model, having struggled with implementing/maintaining it with limited resources at 3 startups now.

https://www.swyx.io/documentation-levels is my proposal. match documentation features to project maturity.

Level 0: Basic proof of concept

---

Example audience: you/colleagues/hobbyists
One sentence description for github headline
README with API docs - goal is to save yourself from looking at source code

Level 1: v0.x

---

Example audience: greenfield early adopters. Ok with missing documentation, they are here for the idea. can contribute code/docs

One paragraph description with more context - could be a sales pitch but also give an idea of when to use you

Feature list/Project Goals
Install + Config Instructions

Level 2: v1

---

Example audience: brownfield early adopters. Ok with bugs, they have some problem that isnt well addressed. Needs convincing.

Comparison vs comparable libraries

Problem Statement - what you solve, how the developer/end user is better off with your thing than handwritten. aka Why You Exist

Basic Examples

Live Demos

Level 3: vX

Example audience: early majority user. Wants ease of use, quick wins. Need to be
very reliable. Needs content to sell solution to team

Project Status badges

Tutorial

Third Party Plugins/Libraries

How-To Guide/Cookbook/Recipes

My first job at a software company was in the shipping room (this was when software was still distributed on physical media) when I was 16 years old. As I walked around the office I realized I was at least as skilled as most of the programmers who worked there, who were about 10 years my senior. Shortly thereafter the company gave me a desk and hired me as a programmer.
Is SpaceX profit margin on these contracts similar to that of their private contracts? Did SpaceX secure these contracts before having an actual product ready? Were these contracts available for any actor, or just American actors? Did NASA offer these contracts to the best offer, or to multiple companies?

The answer is, pretty obviously, that NASA's contracts aim in part to secure a well-fed American space companies, and that they alone are enough to pay for SpaceX development costs, as they would for Ariane. I do think NASA funding is a good thing, but pretending SpaceX doesn't tap that manna is disingenuous.

I like to bring up my personal opinion and realization of owning an open format -- plain-text - content for your life-long textual contents.

I was once an Evernote user since its early days and a premium subscriber for many years. I have used many notetaking apps and bought enough of them – iA Writer, ByWord, Bear, SimpleNote, nvAlt fork of Notational Velocity, etc.

I have moved to a simpler notetaking and writing habit for my notes. I have chosen a simple plain-text life. The idea is to approach contents as data-first with tools on the top. I have grown to like the simple methods I use and the philosophies of managing the files and the directories/folders.

I wrote about it sometime back - https://brajeshwar.com/2022/plain-text/
I have a 4 ton air source heat pump. It has both an internal heater and will run a defrost cycle by using the furnace in winter. I put in the full system a couple years ago. The entire system (100k BTU high efficiency furnace with variable output and 48k BTU, 22 SEER2 and 10.5 HSPF2) and the entire system was less than $17k. I also got over 4k in rebates (fed, state and manufacturer).

I'm well north of Chicago. The heat pump is rated to -22F but have the lockout set to 15F to cut over to the furnace. Mostly for wear and tear reasons. But it has a COP rating of 1.75 at 5F. So still more efficient than any furnace well below where I run it.

Twitter.
Hi Bunnie! Totally unrelated to Precursor/Betrusted, but could you ever do a post-mortem for the Novena? I always liked the quirky form factor and the modularity of it (the Peek Array, the suggestion to use an eink screen if you're on a long trip with no chance to plug it in, etc). Do you think current projects like Framework and Pine64 could adapt/adopt some of the design principles you had in mind back then?
The API was one of the things that made Twitter special. I don't know of any public information about Meta's API plans for this.
This is such a real engineer struggle. It's great that Wozniak can present this as a great effort, as something to be proud of.

So often the world just wants to tear the engineer down, insists on it's own priorities. The world cannot see so many of the intricacies complexities & concerns that the wonk can get into. There's so many esoteric deep connections that people can have, and that dissonance, between the world & what it can see & feel, and what the deeply impassioned people see & feel - it's the source of so much dissonance & struggle.

It's a fun post.

I hope this effort spawns many amazing & fun projects. I'd love to hear more about what kind of support these folks are getting. There's so many arbitrary concerns that go into board design, about power supply & protecting ports & other things. Give these kids some jetpacks & I believe sincerely they'll learn to fly.
Hourly means “paid by the hour,” so verifying time on the job is directly related to salary. “Punching in” on remote worksites is the problem being solved with this solution.
Even though Evernote is a competitor, it's still sad to see such a giant in the note-taking space go down so badly. Of course, I am still skeptical about this news and whether its actually true since no source has been linked.

Aside:

I work (and lead the development) on Notesnook, an end-to-end encrypted, open source alternative to Evernote. Since we are based in Pakistan, our pricing has been really competitive at just $4.49/mo (compared to $17.99/mo of Evernote). And best of all, we have one of the best Evernote Importers around: https://importer.notesnook.com/

> I feel like there’s a chicken and egg problem for Threads: it uses your existing Instagram social graph to populate your Threads account.

I had a different reaction. "Oh they started with my Insta list which isn't what I want. I'll keep them for now and slowly replace them with stuff I use Twitter for." In other words, not a big deal to me and not something that immediately stood out as being an issue.
I know everyone keeps mocking the idea of “AGI”, but if the company at the forefront of the field is actually spending money on managing potential AGI, and publicly declaring that it could “happen within this decade”, surely that must wake us out of our complacency?

It’s one thing to philosophize and ruminate, but its another if the soldiers in the trenches start spending valuable resources on it - surely, that must mean the threat is more real than we imagine?

If there is even 1% chance that OpenAI is right, that has enormous ramifications for us as a species. Can we really afford to ignore their claims?
It feels like very much a could country / could region distinction. In warmer regions of the world, heat pumps have been using for efficiently heating in winter since the 1980s (that's as far as my memory goes). Of course, when the temperature rarely went below 0℃. If you look at the single-room AC units that now dominate these markets, you'll rarely find anything that cannot do both heating and cooling.

Wrong law though.

The GDPR requires data protection and it mostly goes against Metas business interests to do so.

It's not required to store or process date in Europe (im quite sure "serving" is not a problem as Mastodon instances can legally operated here).

And anyway Meta has plenty of European resources.

For now. If it's a success it'll come in due time.

Sure, the phrasing could be debated but the fact that it even ranks close to actual nation states is already problematic. The US military is basically an entire nation state of its own. This is nothing new if you're old enough to have observed the kind of damage it has done but it demonstrates my point about profit and alignment. Profits are very often misaligned with human values because war is extremely profitable.
All I know is that the App Store lists that permission for Threads and not other apps I use. Given how much I trust Facebook (not at all) I’m happy to skip.
Having been a first responder to a fire in a shopping centre sub station/transformer where a technician lost their life in the incident, I do have a limited amount of experience around transformer fires, and I don't necessarily see my comment as 'fear mongering'.

> "fire-aft distance"

Sorry, darn auto-correct on my phone.

"Fore-aft" distance is what I meant. Essentially, the distance from the back of the child's seat to the driver's seat. In nearly all vehicles we own (including mid-sized SUVs), it's a close fit to install a baby carrier. In some cases, the front seats will be pressing against the carrier (unavoidable in some cases). With a full base, it's very obvious when the carrier is being pushed up too far by the contact and we need to adjust.
Been using raylib for years to power generative digital paintings on embedded systems (RPI and the like). I have been really impressed with its performance and accessible API. Plus it's a very active and welcoming open source project, kudos to the maintainer.
Profs apply for research grants that, depending on the grant terms, can be used to pay your stipend. There is no guarantee that your prof can secure that funding or afford to allocate it to support you. As a result, it behooves you to apply to funding agencies to get studentships that fund you.

Another note is that it is also a prestige thing. Getting grants as a graduate student makes you way more competitive when applying for PDF/PhD positions.
I wonder how much this will cannibalize Instagram's engagement-share and thus eat away at Instagram's margins due to lack of ads. By going to Threads, I feel like I've sort of checked off that "I've visited Instagram" desire in my brain.

No thanks. I like Instagram because it's mostly mindless photos or videos of people's lives. It also makes it a bit more difficult to reshare things which is part of the appeal imo, of it as an independent platform different from other social networks. If it becomes anything else, I'm out. I have barely logged into Facebook for years but I'll use Insta occasionally. I use Twitter for casual industry connections and focused topics, and I unfollow people that get heavily, emotionally political.
Sounds like utter bullshit that you just made up. PS, Mastodon is German.

See, that's the problem: it doesn't work!

If both languages are Turing-complete, you can always implement language X in Y, and Y in X. That's basically the definition of Turing-completeness.

Any feature can be implemented in the destination language, even if it is by something as silly as running the source language compiler and executing the resulting bytecode in a x86 VM in your destination language.

> No competitor could ask for a better time to launch with Twitter and Reddit users disaffected.

I immediately noticed it's branded with Instagram and not Facebook which I think is smart. Insta is seen as "for old people" by the gen Z crowd (that's a direct quote from a friend's kid) but not nearly as old as the FB crowd. I suspect that the disaffected Reddit crowd and the Twitter users more likely fit this demographic.

With that said, my god I would be so happy if something overtook Twitter. As much as I'm not a fan of Meta, Twitter is on the bottom of my list.
Political parties work quite a bit differently in Canada. The party structure, the part that purchases ads and such, is not the government. They can have opposing goals. One is governing, the other is trying to get elected. That's how we like it.

Canada actually used to give federal funds to all political parties, including opposition parties, as long as they reached a certain level of votes in the last election. This leveled the playing field for campaign money. Again the last Conservative government got rid of this to try to starve the other parties, another example of what happens when this division is not maintained properly.
These kinds of assertions puzzle me.

.net is almost as valuable as .com right now, and that additional value .com has is dropping over time.

Search Engines don't care and people have normalized the extended TLD space since the 2010s, since URLs in general are just scary to non-technical people anyway. Even with an aging (on average) population, we will have all grown up with this mindset.
