As a novice cyclist I've been the target of angry exchanges with other cyclists on urban bikeways where pedestrians and cars are prohibited, because I go too slow, or get spooked by someone passing too close, or because someone cuts me off. It's not utopia, humans are still involved.
There are also piston powered diesels that burn either jet-A or regular automotive diesel, neither of which have lead. They are becoming more common.

Leaded avgas is for older gasoline piston aircraft. There’s still many around but overall it’s not that significant and is slowly on its way out. The exhaust is mostly released high in altitude where there is ample time for extreme dilution.

The concern is mostly for people who work at small airports, live near them, or work with these aircraft as mechanics etc.

I think there’s an unleaded 100 octane formulation in testing that will probably replace leaded gas but the general aviation industry is small and slow moving.

From the figures in the paper, it looks like some of the detectors started picking up an increase a minute or more before the lightning flash. However, 2-3 of the detectors also picked up increased gamma counts that then died out before the flash. It would be interesting to see the data on a longer time scale, to see how often there's an increased count with a flash at some later point, or no flash at all.
Of course he'll say that. But even removing the potential of lying on his par6, I'm sure his reports are telling him things like:

They already have the form factor, it’s called a Toyota Tacoma and Ford Ranger. They are bigger than Kei trucks because they have actual safety features.
If their parents historically and now,

had workers desperate for work working to the bone with no regard to them as human, no safety, horrible conditions, for substinence wages,

had kids working in factories,

could not care less about human life, safety, community and environmental impact, unless they were forced to by law (often after fiercy resisting demands for change, inluding with murderous thugs used against their workers),

have destroyed the environment with their blatant disregard of externalities,

operated sweatshops throughout the world (and when they could, in the USA too) while pocketing huge profit margins,

made goverments do their bidding domestically and abroad (including establishing dictatorships to safeguard or push for their interests),

pushed for neoliberal reforms which in the couse of 50 years made healthcare, education, and housing out of reach for many, while bringing working conditions and everything else (including product quality) in a race to the bottom,

tried to establish, secure, and exploit monopolies,

avoid paying taxes with loopholes they bribed to pass into law,

were blatant narcisissts and sociopaths,

and, in general, would sell heroin to babies if it was legal (or they knew they'd could get away with it with some small fine),

then those people 100% have a point against their parents...

This is an unusual video of him. Most of them are closeups of him working on old radios, or at least some electrical device. The only thing you see are his hands, soldering iron, and oscilloscope.

Also his tone in this video is very different from his normal professional self. It's very much laid back, "holy fuck this is how I almost died." I suppose you need to be a regular of his channel to appreciate this video. It's always neat to see people that have a professional persona are really just normal people.
This is something that I hope continues to get decent funding.

Nothing about renewables is speculative. Renewables build-out is the largest share of energy capex. If renewables were "destroying many species" it would be all over the news. The 1980s called and wants their "solar will never..." argument back.

> How many times have you searched an arcane error and been brought to a mailing list?

When I search an error message, I'm usually brought to a mailing list, forum, Reddit, or Stackoverflow - often all of those. More often than not, one of them has either a solution or a clue that gets me closer to a solution. My problem gets solved and I don't have to waste someone else's time.
> I had a quick look through the first half dozen citations on the paper, and it is a lot of stuff like this: “The effects of modern climate change are occurring more quickly in grasslands relative to many other ecosystems (Loarie et al. 2009;” This quote doesn’t really use any of the data/methods of the original paper, it just uses the paper to support the fairly obvious idea that climate change has variable effects that differ by environment.

I don't see a reference to Loarie et al. 2009, and I can't find that quote in the article.

> Another: “ On the other hand, the climate is shifting rapidly (Loarie et al. 2009)” again nothing is the paper is used, and they claim the paper says change is rapid, but to determine what is “rapid” we would need to compare our velocity to a value we think is “not rabid”. This would provide us with some testable hypothesis (eg “2% of regions move velocity faster than the fastest moving population in the region”).

Same goes for this.
So used to dataframes that this one flew past me.

Care to show the basis of your personal assertion? It's an extraordinary and unbelievable claim.
There’s a bit of a difference between a ship already at sea altering it’s course to get near and assist a vessel in distress (where they might be first on he scene), vs ship going to sea especially for an event I guess? You don’t want the area too crowded with “good Samaritans” who’ve all gone to sea just to assist.

I recall some comments saying that operators of a submersible that could hypothetically rescue a sub stranded on the bottom being discouraged from deploying for the Titan by the coast guard, which perhaps means they already knew the fate of the vessel. Although it could be that they already had a suitable submersible arranged already and didn’t want more in the area causing complications with coordination etc.
The CEO of United Healthcare makes around $50 million a year. The Medicare administrator makes around $400,000 a year. Administrative costs for Medicare are around 10%. Healthcare companies balked at being held to the same standard. Health insurers have their profits regulated but not lab services and whatnot. There are ways around the limits.

What is your overall point though? Do you think it’s a good idea to have profit motives governing healthcare? Do you believe PE owned hospitals are good? Do you disagree that there are instances of companies profiting from denying care?
Do you have any lock recommendations? My storage unit was broken into a year ago and I replaced the locks with those circular ones you’re referring to!
> I read somewhere once that a sensor, sonar or hydrophone, in UK waters could detect the sounds come from a New York harbour, which gives an insight into the distance sounds can travel underwater, but considering all the noises that can be detected, having sound processing abilities, a little bit better than something like Dolby Noise Reduction, is the key part of the underwater arms race.

In a typical attack sumbarine, a substantial amount of the ship's volume is dedicated to acoustic sensors: https://media.defenceindustrydaily.com/images/SHIP_SSN_Virgi...

This arms race is very old, and the state of the art even 20 years ago is pretty impressive.
I mean, tooling is probably part of the problem, but quality is going downhill real fast, with people with 2/3 years on the job not understanding simple things

I agree but I also wonder why we would expect them to.

Many coming into the industry have had little formal education in CS or SE. Employers providing substantial training is mostly a thing of the past because retention and professional development for employees has mostly been deprecated in favour of the rapid job-hopping culture. And for a while now it's been such an employee's market that developers haven't needed to invest their own time and money into professional development in order to progress their careers.

So even for relatively senior devs it's easily possible that they could have little academic education, little professional training provided by any of their employers, and little incentive to spend their own time studying. Their understanding might come from nothing but a few years of experience working on only 2 or 3 different products and - if they're lucky - some ideas they've been exposed to through more experienced mentors, team leads and code reviewers.

I personally believe our industry would be infinitely better if we could get back to the idea that professional development is important and employers should both look for people who've been learning and then support their people's ongoing learning themselves. Maybe we can even do that now that the gold rush is over and job-hopping every five minutes for a pay and title bump is no longer the most reliable way to climb the career ladder.
An excellent read but one thing caught my attention:

> The Navy did not withhold information on the detection for four days out of some concern for secrecy.

I think it's more likely than not that the statement is correct, but what gives the author the authority to make the claim so definitively? The author's bio indicates he's a consultant and there is no indication of direct involvement in this or any other SAR effort.

While the workings of the SOSUS and IUSS systems may be declassified, the deployments and capabilities (mostly range and computation related) of such systems most likely are not. And there is always the possibility that there is yet another system the author simply isn't aware of.

IMO, it isn't negligence to value the secrecy of systems used for defense above some number of lives, in some situations.
Yes, efficiency is not an issue, but is improving.

Storage technology evolve, there are many battery technology, even better than li-ion if fully developed, and storage can be chemical, capturing co2 and making fuels with net zero CO2 pollution, can be thermal, can be even gravitational, hydrogen local storage, and energy can move in grids, to go where is need from where is available, engineering can do this now it there is a true will.

If there is a system finely distributed (many systems) for production, transport and storage, in a mix on low to high tecnology, this will make global energy really available and independent of uncertains and variable conditions.

Many examples of good offgrid appication exist, done by some guys, Imagine what can be done with true development/investment just tomorrow.

And Uranium (like fossil fuels) is not everywhere, a shift of geopolitics will affect availability, sun and wind are everywhere, maybe not constant, but hardly vanish for long periods everywhere..
The comparison being discussed in the article I linked is with clean energy alternatives. In that respect, nuclear does need significantly more safety measures than wind or solar, for example.

The problem with nuclear is that it's much more difficult to regulate effectively than most other industries, because the consequences of mistakes can be so much higher. E.g. Chernobyl contaminated food throughout much of Europe for months. The natural organizational reaction in that situation is to overcompensate.

Nuclear is likely to always be expensive for that reason, because you're never going to get economy of scale as long as companies can't e.g. mass produce nuclear plants and set them up all over the place. I also generally agree with the other reply to your comment by three14.

I consider this to be a pragmatic observation, not a judgment on whether nuclear might make sense in some hypothetical perfectly rational world.

Found this great tale which led me down further down rabbit holes in the aftermath of reading it. It also dawned on me how long ago 2001 is: the dates on these events were prior to Sept 11 2001. https://www.angelfire.com/trek/caver/
You're suggesting a different definition of "voluntary" which is:

>the person giving you the choice is not the one creating the choices

Who is creating the choices if not the people who are offering the jobs?

>So your choice is "work", or "starve and die"

So then you've answered my second question above, which is, if there is a persistent acceptable choice of "die" then any alternative must be voluntary.

My question is, from your perspective unless someone is physically restrained then anything they do is purely voluntary?
This reminds me of the saga Donut went thru to get a similar-sized truck from china: https://youtu.be/yRG0Wai4sR0
> No, not even the SEC & that's the cause of major court cases currently.

That's the spin of all the PR the crypto exchanges have put out.

However, when it's time to put their money where their mouths are, they don't mention that there's no specific standards (because there is - the Howey Test).

Coinbase, for example, has been very loud about this. "We're desperately asking the SEC to help us do this right and they won't!"

Except their lawsuit says that they absolutely know how to "do this right", but...

> for many tokens, registering is not possible due to effort involved, or not economically viable.

i.e. Coinbase doesn't like the cost of having to register securities for the shitcoin du jour - there's no money to be made.

But the SEC isn't obligated to make a profitable business model for Coinbase.
Very much this. Back in the day, the Cluetrain Manifesto said that corporate writing sounded "literally inhuman" - like it didn't come from a human being. You can't hear the person in it.

ChatGPT reads similarly. There's no personal voice. It's like food with no seasoning; it's just... blah.
> still requires you to believe that either Banks or Pension funds are fine with hemorrhaging millions or billions of dollars buying PE debt

The managers of those funds make money based on deals and they move on before the deal goes south. Principal agent problem.

So what are the eat-your-vegetables sorts of news
because I can't think of a time that news news has been relevant to my life -- "staying on top of current events" has only ever benefited me making small talk at parties. The stuff that matters like local politics, community events and organizing rarely happens in the newspaper. Maybe it used to before my time but it doesn't seem to anymore. Following my states bill tracking platform, local orgs, my local chapter of the ACLU, and the social media of local politicians and government agencies like the planning commission, and (begrudgingly) Facebook events actually surface real life actionable stuff. For capital G grass roots stuff Tiktok has been surprisingly good since they feed you geographically local content. Have been to a few protests that organized on TT.
I'm unconvinced. There are many developed countries that don't allow pharmaceutical advertisements. If your theory was true, we'd expect stories that pharma companies want suppressed to show up there but not in the US. Can you provide examples of this? The best I could come up with is "support for public healthcare", but support for public healthcare wasn't something that got torpedoed starting in 1997.

Last summer, I worked as a Google Summer of Code 2022 Student Developer at GitLab, a DevOps platform. I worked with the Gitaly team, which is a Git RPC service which is responsible for handling git calls made by GitLab. My tasks were to integrate the mailmap feature in GitLab. Apart from that, I also worked on GitLab's contributor graph feature to use git-shortlog which will improve the performance of the graph.

I chronicled my GSoC journey in my personal blog https://siddharthasthana.dev/archives/. Here is the link to it: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2022/projects/ya...

My GSoC work got highlighted in the GitHub and Git communities. Here is the link:

I have been actively contributing to other OSS projects like Zulip which is a real-time team chat system and Git, a distributed version control system. At IVY, I have written functions and tests for the ML transpiler and deep learning framework. In the process, I learned not only about how web platforms work, but also have some knowledge of how low level systems like kernel work.
Another question, how long until we have systems that can sing 10 octaves and we don't need/want any actual human singers anymore?
