Is there even distros that let you do it? When I wanted to do this myself all things I read led me to believe that the setuid doesn't apply because the file itself isn't running, the thing in your shebang is.

Until I found the wrapper file in the GitLab repo, I was holding out hope as I read through that there was some way.

I met someone recently who finished their PhD in computer vision related work a couple years ago and she said all of her specialization now felt useless, but that her PhD was still useful for understanding the fundamentals for a job she now has but does absolutely nothing with her research experience.
Fake News: Blame it on the AI because its a "relevent" subject lately. Real News: Lack of affordable mental health resources for citizens is next to non-existant and should be talked about more. This is how news media attempts to skew our perception.
Maybe your code is ok and understandable to you when you first write it, but when someone else has to work on it a month or two later, a lack of types makes it significantly more difficult.

It sounds like your process is a bit of a drag on you and I think you should improve it.

You get both: isofix/latch as well as lap-belt. Each car seat is sold with an accompanying Latch (aka Isofix) base so you can roll with whatever you prefer. However, lap belts are ubiquitous and work really well.

Reasons to use a base:

1) Convenience. It is nice and fast to click-in, click out with a car seat. Super fast and easy.

2) Protect the seat cushions of the car.

3) More constraints on pitch rotation. Which can be good or bad depending on how the seat is designed and rotation is used.

Reasons to use a lap belt only (no base):

1) It is intuitive. Everyone -- including grandma, grandpa, and the babysitter -- knows how to use a lap belt (as opposed to a latch/isofix base).

2) It is ubiquitous. Every automobile and plane seat has one. So if you're hopping into an Uber, no problem.

3) Lab belts are designed to stretch which is actually really good in a collision. The stretching lowers peak acceleration, and therefore lowers the likelihood of injury.

4) Total system weighs less, which translates into less force in a collision (F=ma).
Some parts of the US have too much fresh water, other parts have too little. Fresh water is a regional matter; you're talking about the American Southwest, particularly California, specifically. But this conversation is about desalination generally, and particularly Israel.
I believe that when every spec of salt creates a far larger water droplet - and the overall concentration in rain ends up tiny.

If anything, doing lots of this might reduce the salt concentration in soils, due to increased rainfall.
What is Gerrit and why are they using it instead of just using GitHub?
The distinction, defining your straw man, is simply that the image itself is generated by the “commissioned artist” that is the AI.

Even non-generative-AI inside Photoshop only mutates images. Generative AI is the source of images.

Is there a written guide for how to convert a nodejs project to Deno?

It wouldn't ever have become what we know of as Google today.

When I worked at Google I was lucky and had coffee with Jeff Dean and Sanjay Ghemawat many mornings when my desk was near them and we had shared interests. I got the chance to quiz Jeff a bunch about the early days. When they joined, L&S had already handed indexing off to a couple programmers who had written a system that had to be run all the way through (all steps of indexing) to build a whole new index. Any failure in any step- even just one simple worker- meant you had to run all over again. That led to the development of MapReduce, GFS, and BigTable, which allowed google to scale search while also improving search prerformance (latency of a query, latency of crawling hot documents and having them appear in the index). Jeff definitely didn't have a high opinion of Larry and Sergey's programming skills.

But then, the search engine was really just phase 0 in Larry's attempt to revoluntize the world of information, sort of the things you have to do at the start of a realtime strategy game to get your tech tree up to AI.
I got a very similar quote ($27k for ~2000sqft home) in seattle a few months ago.

Salesperson said there is excess demand for both labor and machinery for heat pump installations in the past few months. I wondered at the time to what extent this is a regional phenomenon (seattlites are nerds who like energy efficiency) vs. supply chain issues vs. a sales technique.

Interestingly, I learned that it will be too cold for heat pumps <10 days out of the year, so most people either keep their gas furnace as backup, or install an electric furnace for these rare days.

And the second part of this is that just as all non-rich people tend to consider themselves as soon to be millionaires temporarily down on their luck, most startups (especially the VC funded ones making big promises to investors) tend to consider themselves soon to be FAANGs temporarily in the early phase of their inevitable hockey stick growth.

I didn't say cater to every whim of every person.

I said listen to the customer because it is a legitimate point of contact, and they are not going to be the only one thinking what they're thinking, and even if you want to ignore them, you don't want to create a scene in front of other customers, so you can still think about and learn from the experience. The customer is always right from the customer's perspective, and you need to understand your customers' perspectives.
No, 1000L/day is about right for a typical American household. [1] claims "The average American family uses more than 300 gallons of water per day at home." 300 gal is 1136 L.

Expensive oil is good for several of the world's worst governments, which are mostly propped up by high prices (Russia, Iran, Venezuela).

It's in the interest of the US (and moreso, most of the developing world) to keep oil prices from spiking due to shipping insecurity.
A friend of mine was working on a contract project for a major Canadian telco. The project was almost entirely complete, just a few things left to get the client to sign off on the project and go live. None of the people involved on the telco side had a huge interest in this project; it was just something else that was going on.

Then, suddenly, it seems as though they realized that this small project was the CEO's pet project. Overnight, everyone involved suddenly had opinions on what could be changed to be better, to be friendlier. Change the colors, the fonts, the layout, move things around, pick a different image, back and forth. As soon as there was an opportunity to attach their name in a place the CEO might see, everyone was clamoring to make some kind of a difference as soon as possible.

In the end, it delayed the project by weeks and wasted huge amount of my friend's agency's time trying to push back on all of these changes on things that had already been approved, or which didn't need to be changed. Incredibly gross.
It would be interesting to look at a wider range of metrics for some of these fast vs. slow projects.

Safety: Did the fast projects result in more injuries or deaths?

Social: Willingly vs. unwilling participation. IE seized land vs. sold willingly at market rate. Coerced by gov to help build the hospital vs. paid market labor rate.

Environmental: Much easier to design and build a hydro dam when you don't need to worry about still allowing the Salmon to swim upstream.
Given that interest/investment revenue from restricted endowments is the entire point of the donation, yes, that revenue is restricted.

As for tax treatment, why not just google it yourself instead of assuming? In the US, a tax was added under the Trump administration on revenue from university endowments: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endowment_tax#Federal_changes_...
I agree with you but I think it's important to have some nuance. Imagine I build a statistical model for 10-word sequences (10-grams) and then I trained it on a single book. I probably could pick some starting words and get most of the book back from the "statistics" I compiled. If I trained the same model on a giant dataset, the one book would just contribute to the stats.

All that to say, the models have potential to memorize, but they don't, and if they do it's an undesirable failure mode, not some deliberate copying.
If you are looking for some therapeutic and repetitive work I have some data entry work available.
So...IBM, huh?
> On August 9 1968, NASA decided that Apollo 8 should go to the moon. It launched on December 21 1968, 134 days later

But they were planning to get to that destination, with the same Apollo program, for years before that...

This example seems a bit of a stretch, which makes me hesitate on the other examples.

And another source of hesitation comes from this parallel:
- During Covid, it was said that China built a new hospital in like 8 days, and it was claimed "we can't do that" etc
- But then we created a temporary 1000-bed hospital in 7 days: "It was much quicker than we usually design, engineer and construct a project... We worked 24 hours a day, seven days a week with our vertical team to spec out the sites [and] award contracts, and then began work immediately after the contracts were awarded." [1]

It would be a foolish person to build their company in the success of another than have no say about.

The local farmer sells to 10 shops. Each shop buys from 10 farmers.

Sure you can hitch your wagon. It’s a massive risk, sometimes unavoidable. It makes perfect sense to diversify your supply chain.
Your statements conflate a number of unrelated elements. Solar panels not converting 100% of the sunlight that hits them has no impact on the "well to wheel" number for either batteries or hydrogen.

Right now it takes ~53kWh to make 1 kg of h2, which stores ~34 kWh of energy. Right away a fuel cell vehicle operator needs to pay for an additional 20 kWh of energy for every kg of h2 before they can move an inch. Toyota Mirai consumes about 0.8 kg/100 km, so those 53 kWh of energy move the car about 125 km. That's 42 kWh/100km. My Model 3 SR+ recently consumed 35 kWh to travel 258 km or about 14 kWh/100km. The Mirai takes 3 times as much energy to move as I used on a recent trip. That efficiency gap is a gulf; no matter how cheap creating and distributing hydrogen gets it will always use a lot more power than just putting that power in a battery. I agree hydrogen has a place in the economy, but only where batteries are too large/heavy for the application or the grid is too far away.
Not just taxes, but regulations (treatment of workers, etc)
To be honest, I want some of these on my profile. I, for a fact, am guilty of many of them. Everyone is.

WAL solves the high concurrency read situation. Not the writes. SQLite can do thousands of writes per second in WAL mode which is more than enough for the vast majority of applications out there.

It's a technique, but could also be likened to how we think.

Here's a simple example: keyterms from text are extracted with text detection from an image. Those keyterms will sometimes have bad reads where "aligned AI" might pop out as "aligned Al". A subsequent "internal thought" would be formed and ask, "What's wrong with the 'aligned Al' keyterm?". If an updated response is returned, we use it instead of the original output.
Beginning from the end of your comment, I don't think that hate or anger is wrong. It is a human emotion as valid as any other, and closely related to empathy. You are angry at the villain because you feel sympathy with the victim. There is a reason we are born with the capacity of these emotions and that they never go away. The same goes for all mammals. Only reptiles lack emotions and will always keep their cool. With that said, hate and anger are very unpleasant emotions, and it clashes completely with the idea of watching or reading the news to wind down in the evening or night.

The above is meant about news that makes you angry or makes you hate because they are reporting on something horrible that has happened: Wars, crime, corruption. Not news that makes people angry just by the style.

I don't watch televised news, because it is pure poison on all channels. Even if you didn't understand the language the anchor was talking, you feel bad just from the hatred and disgust of the presenters directed at their viewers. It is psychological war and it is completely on purpose. If somebody entered your house and talked to your face in the same manner as the news anchors, you'd think it was an escaped psychopath or punch the person in the face. But people tune in every night to watch these freaks, or even worse - leave them on all day.

But back to text news and articles, if you strip out all emotion and just stick to the facts you end up with basically a bunch of Excel spreadsheets for your reporting. This much money was spent on that, so many soldiers died in that offensive, that many years in prison was given to the murderer. What about interviews? Pretty much all politicians, business owners, and other influential people are so well media trained now that interviews have little value. They have endless phrases of lies that sound good to answer any question. This is where the journalist instead will have to inform the reader what's going on and that means inserting some of his or her own views and opinions. And it's good if it's done in a transparent way. It is completely ridiculous how print media today are snaking and slithering around with their words to convince their public that somebody is a bad guy or good guy, instead of just stating their opinion and getting over with it.

With all this, I think any respectable media should report on things such as immigrant caravans and immigrant fleets. It's a huge difference between that and the individual immigration that is more common. When masses of people (mostly men) arrive in this way, it is more akin to an invading army, especially when gang members and terrorists mix among the crowds, and especially when they proudly wave the banners and chant the slogans of the nations they are supposedly escaping from. Another aspect is the human trafficking involved with this kind of mass migration. Where is the investigation into the human trafficking lords when their ships sink, killing hundreds? Where is the responsibility of the human trafficker when they've helped a murderer over the border? All in all a huge deal everything and nothing to be hidden from reporting.

I've used this technique quite a bit in the past, but often not enough. I work in games so a lot of problems are actual visual 2d or 3d problems. Things like: finding the closest valid object I can target at my given heading. Simple enough, but as things get complicated it's often the simple things that trip you up, and visualizations can often make the problem obvious.

That p5 editor looks nice for this sort of thing. It's important to be able to get the visualizations in quickly, otherwise you risk wasting time.

A tool I've dreamed up, that I never seem to have time to implement, is to send debug information to some form of database, and then being able to query and render that data as you like (from another client). To see bar/line charts of data, spatial visuals, more abstract graphs like in your examples, timeline scrubbers, etc... maybe some day I'll get around to making it.

Anyway, thanks for your comment. I'm interested in this kind of thing.

A PhD is one of the hardest, yet most rewarding time of my life. Its perhaps the only period where I have the opportunity to do nothing else, but "think"; where I can spend many months just reading papers, learning and attacking what seems like one little problem. It is very hard work, no doubt. Going back in time, I would still do it again. And in fact, I have seriously considered doing another PhD in an entirely different field.

But still I generally do not recommend people do it. You have to be in it, because you are very interested in the field. You have to feel rewarded by learning, and by solving problems. And also there is a lot a lot of luck involved: advisor, topic, ideas etc.

As a counterpoint, I knew a physics prof that would drop any grad students who got above a B average, since it meant the student had bad time management. Bad time management being defined by spending more tine outside the lab than strictly necessary.
