This is a bogus claim. Show us some hydrogen pipelines that are in operation which are thousands of kilometres in length.

And the cost is per energy. Which energy? Output energy when you get electricity at the other end? Or chemical potential energy in the H2, which is meaningless since we can’t get it all.
Facebook isnt going to be nice about this. They know they are in a strong position here.

Expect an addicting algorithm that is fueled by ragebait (and if its anything like IG, coombait). The fact that it didn't release with an ability to time-sort tells you everything you need to know. Everyone knows how easy it is to sort by time, especially when stakes are low. Its anti-consumer from day 1.

The surge in people are likely influencers and people marketing their companies trying to get ahead of the algorithm. We've all learned the first ones to join a social media network are winners.

The people with novel ideas need to be convinced, and I'm not sure these people are ready to come back to facebook.

Yep, I was privileged to have a computer at home and family members who worked at a university so I could get a dial-up SLIP Internet connection and access to Usenet and IRC.

So what. How is that even a remotely useful response to my comment?
This seems like a very nice tool if you are a capital case SWE. There is no similar analog for more general engineering positions.

FWIU non-e-eink flexible display tech has advanced considerably.

Maybe there still is a market for huge broadsheet e-ink newspaper devices? How many flexible broadsheets of display would approximate the ux of a real newspaper?
Include in the contract "non-functional" requirements (the distinction can be fuzzy with a good case to put some requirement in both categories, but it's a useful distinction nonetheless). These are things like how stable it is (uptime requirements, perhaps), how secure it is. How quickly can a new feature be delivered? This lets you require an organizational capability, but not a system feature capability. If it takes your contractor 6 months to deliver an update with a color change to a page background, something is wrong. Require more responsiveness, but also offer more responsiveness on your side (like if you have a QA/test team responsible for final sign-off or to answer clarification questions, etc.).

You don't want to mandate their internal processes, at that point they're not contractors they're your employees and you are essentially taking over their management.

> There is a strong monetary incentive to make sure every car has a high utilization time

Not based on real utilization of cars today (5% utilization, 95% parked)

There is a stronger monetary incentive to sell at least one car to every single person :)

> Restore millions of sqft in parking spaces to be reclaimed for parks and housing.

That was also my hope. I don't think it'll happen. People will use autonomous cars like they use uber/lyft/taxis but they will still have their personal cars... Those will need the same amount of parking, or more given electrification and long charge times.
I disagree with that. It's very useful writing boilerplate and documentation, but two third the time I'm in front of a bug I'm to lazy to understand and ask ChatGPT, with context and all, the answer is wrong. I can fiddle with it to reduce that to a third of the time, but in the end, only the questions that are really, really hard to figure on your own are left.

Still, it's way better and more efficient than Google. Less than not being lazy and using my two braincells tbh.

While I agree that compromise of an unprivileged account has significant costs, technically superusers do have significantly greater access to the system and so there are greater levels of risk.

RedoxOS is reimplementing Linux userspace utilities in rust in order to avoid C vulns in suid binaries; like ping, which requires raw sockets for ICMP (which most of us only need the Echo Request capability of)

And Elixir introduced GenStage to help with this [0]. The thing that I love about erlang's actor model over Go (that for me a fatal flaw with Go and CSP) is the "spooky action at a distance" issue. It's much easier to reason locally within an erlang project, in my opinion, versus a Golang project, since once a channel is created, it's often very difficult to trace its usage.

I don't think that its bad for the motivated engineer, its just a trade off between expressiveness and simplicity.

I personally find myself choosing go because I feel I am way more productive with the language. By keeping me constrained, I have less choices to make on how I solve the problem, and focus more on solving the problem.

Is this the same guy that makes song mashups and remixes? If so, he is one hell of a creative and high energy person.
I posted in a similar thread yesterday. I recently completed a fairly extensive benchmarking effort, where I asked GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 to solve 133 exercises from the Exercism Python practice set. I measured the performance of the Feb (0301) and June (0613) versions of gpt-3.5-turbo and gpt-4.

This is the only systematic, quantitative evaluation that I am aware of that compares the different versions of the OpenAI models over time.

My conclusions:

- The new June GPT-3.5 models did a bit worse than the old Feb model.
- For GPT-4, there wasn't much difference between June and Feb. June was maybe a bit better.
- It hurts coding performance to have GPT package up code inside the new function calls API.
- As expected, GPT-4 is better than GPT-3.5 at code editing.

All the details are written up here:

Some specific notes about GPT-3.5 getting a bit worse in June are here:

> The poverty line is about 15k for a single person in the US. For a family of 3, that line is about 25k.

Then 36k should be enough to support two dependents without any other income, as it’s almost 150% of poverty. And I suspect most teachers are not supporting two dependents on their incomes alone, so your comment makes me feel stronger about my previous statement.

As for me being an outlier, maybe? I don’t live in a basement. I live in a regular apartment with one roommate. I have a car (2014 sedan) and buy regular groceries, go on vacations, do things with friends, live a pretty regular life. The main way I’m probably an outlier is not buying a new car, and keeping my car for probably 10 years.

I take objection to you saying “if you are not … willing to live in a shared apartment” as if that’s some grand imposition. To me it sounds like you might be the outlier? Normal people, even couples live in shared apartments all the time.

I want to note that I didn’t claim that teachers aren’t underpaid (I haven't researched or thought about it enough to make a decision). Just that 36k isn’t some impossible amount to live on, which it’s not in most places.
I think the real fun is when we get more than 50% of the way, because the remaining gas-powered things need to have refineries and distributio too, and I have not kept track of what the plastics and other oil-consuming industries will do when gasoline becomes less in demand.

Electric lawn mowers, weed whackers, etc have been around for decades. School buses, utility vehicles, farm equipment (some things that are diesel, too) will all need power. If your combine and harvester require diesel and unit economics drives the price of diesel through the roof, your food will cost somewhat more. As will the cost of delivery.
What's the state of electrification of heavy machinery?

This is so condescending, but I'm glad you're not pretending to have some other motivation. Go was designed for new devs (per pike, i dont think kernighan ever said this) and that is good for all devs, even those with overinflated egos. Making your software easy to understand and think about is good, and effective engineers will get more done working with simple code than complex code that memorializes their useless brainpower.
Ah! Sorry about that. Looks like Algolia search did some fuzzy matching :) I'll fix that up.

On the fun front, it seemed a bit like my earlier simple uses of D, although D is complex or at least big, overall, compared to V.
The mixers in the device are designed to combine different frequencies of waves together. By carefully adjusting the phase shift between the mixers and the powers of the local oscillator (LO) applied to each mixer, a specific phase relationship is created for the up-converted signals (upper and lower sidebands) produced by the mixers.

When these signals are combined again in a subsequent mixer, they interact in a way that results in different phase relationships for waves traveling in different directions. This means that the waves are in-phase (in sync) for one direction but out-of-phase (out of sync) for the opposite direction.

This phase relationship difference causes an asymmetry in how the waves propagate through the device. Waves traveling in the desired direction experience constructive interference, meaning they reinforce each other and can pass through the device. On the other hand, waves traveling in the opposite direction experience destructive interference, meaning they cancel each other out and are blocked from passing through.

> I vaguely remember one of typescripts developers stating that if they had to start it all over again, enums would not be added; as enums are the only thing emitting runtime code.

It's true. I don't remember if that was the only/main reason they said that, but that was definitely one of the things.

I find that a weird sentiment, though, because TypeScript has a couple of other features that are not just "JavaScript + type annotations".

Namespaces is one. It also has a syntactic sugar for defining class properties in the constructor arguments. And it had that experimental decorator feature for a long time, but I never used it, so I don't know much about it. It also has the "`this` parameter" syntax for methods/functions, which does disappear at compile time, but still looks and feels like more than just a JavaScript function with type annotations.

Sounds like you have a pretty good bargain going wherever you are, because here in California as a resident, a four-year degree even at a state school like the UC is going to run 65k and that's without housing or expenses. Books, supplies, and lab materials alone can add another 12 grand to that over the course of a 4y degree. If you're going to pursue a master's then you can almost double that. And double it again if you're not a resident or are going to a private school of comparable repute.

Obviously there's the option of a less expensive State School like one of the CSUS or a Cal Poly, as well as clever short circuiting of the tuition by taking Community College equivalents where possible but if you're going to get everything forgiven at the end of college then why bother with all that.
I don't think it's that sinister. Time based sorting is a bad day 1 feature since nobody has much of a follow graph yet. Forcing the algorithm is a good way to make sure your feed feels "full" even if you're starting from zero. I don't like the algorithm either, it's full of brands and spammy meme pages that lifted their content over from IG. But in terms of cold-starting a social graph, I get it. Plus they already said they're going to add a chrono feed soon.
Sometimes yes. Often they stay, especially if they are reasonably new and the buyer wants them. It's seen as a selling point that the buyer won't have to go out and buy appliances right away. Of course the hidden downside is that they are financing used appliances for 30 years so it's generally better if the buyer negotiates a lower price in lieu of appliances. But a lot of new homebuyers don't think about that.

But I'll grant that appliances are probably moved more often than water heaters are.
Given that enforcing the law drives the labor away, and the conditions for the workers suck, the only way it's working is to find that making things suck for people is somehow good.
If you deploy telemetry and go on to assume that it's giving you accurate information, that's a mistake. Blaming it on me for not letting them have their telemetry is victim-blaming.

I am far from convinced that such statistics are gathered in a "privacy preserving" way, but that's neither here nor there.

> the business is not Facebook or Google or so where we know there's shit about to hit the fan

The problem is that you can't just trust the current devs. You also have to trust all future devs and companies that may buy the thing. It's not Facebook or Google now, but it could be in the future. And this is Fedora, which is connected to Red Hat, which is connected to IBM.

And it's also not just about privacy. It's also about impact on product development. It's not exactly rare that software has been made much worse as a result of decision-making based on telemetry data.

> Nobody minds when they browse the web and every site keeps access logs invisibly

No? I think quite a lot of people mind this. But there's nothing that can be done about that. It's still worth trying to keep everything from getting even worse, though.

Grad student unionization is already well on its way in the US. It started strong in the 90s. It was hamstrung because grad students weren't recognized as workers in 2004 by the NLRB; that was overturned in 2016. Since then, graduate student unions have been having some massive contract wins.

Its a pretty complex & shifting situation historically. In fact, its illegal to have a grad student union in some states for public universities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graduate_student_employee_unio...

It is a growing movement in academia: Harvard(2018), Yale(2022), NYU(1998), BU, Brandeis, Tufts, UMass Amherst(1991), Columbia(2017), UPenn(2016), Brown(2014), Stanford(yesterday, not even joking), UNC(?), etc. Duke is unionizing like right now

Grad student unions are such a large body of new union members that the UAW has done some weird things to dilute their power in the UAW. like splitting NYU and Columbia into different locals. They're some of the largest inductions of new members in NLRB history.

Its a pretty fascinating history and on going movement
Oh wow! Okay hmmm, thank you, I will see what I can do...
During Korean War, 1950-54, the was an alarming increase of inductees failing the reading tests.

Was this real, or a new form of draft dodging?

The Army had psychologists look into to this, and it was determined that it wasn't faking. The young men really had poor reading skills.

And the interval between 1945 and 1950 was, backing up till the 20 year olds were 5 or 6 years old, the time when sight reading was first introduced into schools in a big way.

Now, English spelling is more complex than many other languages, but there are maybe 100 rules that cover the overwhelming majority of cases.

Emitting type information to some kind of separate common format wouldn't undermine most of these goals. There are already apparently dozens of tools that people can use for this task in a dozen different ways. Just have TS emit the data.

In this way there is no runtime overhead (point #3) -- it's pure data to be optionally consumed. They wouldn't have to prescribe any particular reflection module (point #6).

The only point this would violate is #5 but that is, of course, the point. We want them to reconsider because it's such a powerfully useful feature. And people are doing it on top of and outside of TypeScript where TypeScript would be best tool to give this information for TS users.
Was the disruptive student. Am now very leftist.

Some aspects do give me pause.

Such as Any regiment which makes things worse. We're all just guessing; people need to be empowered, so hopefully they can muddle thru things.

Thresholds need to be obvious and ruthlessly enforced. Not fuzzy and optional. (eg If a student assaults a teacher, insta removal, to never come back. And so forth.)

Alas, forging these kinds of rulesets, and then sticking to them at scale, is all but impossible.

Also, most people blathering about public education are repeatedly proven worse than wrong. (Including me.) So am deepyly skeptical of fixes and silver bullets. I insist there's at least some existence proof before supporting any reforms.
