Ah survivor ship bias I think it’s called, that’s one explanation, but how does the original gene mutation work ? How did it survive for apparently so many generations ? Seems to be the kind of mutation that would have not survived if it literally caused you to dance till you die.
Wow super useful, didn't know that.

If I'm reading this correctly, the survey asked respondents in 2018 and 2021 about a range of American institutions, just four of which were tech companies: Amazon, Google, Facebook, and Twitter (only included in 2021). Sentiment dropped more for those than any other American institutions, apparently! Twitter wasn't included in the 2018 survey but appears to have been the actual lowest sentiment on the list when included in the 2021 survey.
How to sound smart when talking about AI
Dumb mobile phones still have SMS, so 2FA still works and since it is a telephone, talking to friends and family is also possible.
I suspect the reasons the OP gave up on the smart phone was to get away from all of those phone apps.
> .. and the delta code to be committed upstream is less than 2K LOC.

Then mainline it?

The last commit that /postgres/postgres and /orioledb/postgres share (1) is 6 months old for 15.2?

I mean, this is literally what I'm pointing out in my comment; you're chasing a moving target. Every change postgres makes, you have to merge in check it doesn't conflict, roll out a new patch set...

...and, you're already falling behind on it.

So, going forward, how do you plan to keep up to date...? ...because it looks to me, like a < 2K LOC isn't a fix for this problem; it hasn't solved it for you, as time goes forwards, it will continue not to be a solution to the problem; annd...

> Currently the changes needed to Postgres core are less than a 1000 lines of code. Due to the separate development schedules for Postgres and OrioleDB, these changes cannot be unstreamed in time for v.15. (2)

^ They were < 1000 lines a year ago, apparently. So the problem is getting worse over time.

Seems like the solution is mainlining those changes... not just intending to mainline them.

Until then... I really just see this as a postgres fork.

"a bunch of countries in a trench coat that agreed to be semi-nice to each other in order to sneak into the Big Boy Club"

Well the US was hardly the first to take that approach!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countries_of_the_United_Kingdo...

However, I would point that here in the UK I suspect most people are actually completely unaware of the fact that there are multiple legal and education systems in our "country of countries".
As someone who did a PhD and published and read many papers (in ML) I believe vast majority of papers in ML are misleading. If in fact every paper that claims a better performance over state of the art was true we would have solved AI by now. You see all sorts of problems when you dig deeper into the technical details of peer reviewed publications (even in top tier conferences) including misleading baselines, statistical insignificance of improvements, overfitting to test data, and in some cases just flat-out fabrication of results.

I hope this is not as bad in medicine and health related research. But just thinking that some paper can be used against you in court to claim billions of dollars in damages makes me uneasy. Peer reviewed paper != science. Peer review is a crude filter on research that can both accept bad work and reject good work. There must be a higher bar for something that can be used in the court of law. Some sort of scientific consensus must be needed at least.

It's easy to dismiss this because screw J&J. But I think we are all paying for these lawsuits through our insurances and taxes and higher drug prices.

Not saying these lawsuits don't have merits, but I think there must be a higher bar for what is presented as evidence.
No form validation, either.

> the Federal reserve is to blame for it! Between 1923 - 1927, just 10 years after the Fed was formed, it grew money supply 60%.

I’m not an economist so I’m speaking from a position of ignorance here. But I thought the US was on gold standard during this time period.

How was the Fed able to increase money supply by such a large % without e.g. the country mining a lot more gold?

I tried a cursory search but was unable to find any answers.
Interesting tip too! Need to find the right combination however, I noticed that Alt-L might be a good one (no side effect it seems).
Panel vans. Like those 1.2L 3cyl Golf faced delivery vans. People need those. But that’s not a socially acceptable private possession, and a Kei is nowhere as humiliating thanks to novelty, so Kei sells.

> That's your quibble?

The median license renewal cost in the US is around $30, for an interval of typically 6-8 years. Which is to say, less than $5/year. Subtract the overhead of the licensing bureaucracy. If the result is nonzero there's a decent chance it's because it's a negative number. In neither case is it paying for a material amount of road maintenance.

> axle taxes per annumn, fuel taxes per annum Vs road program costs per annum.

Car tax and fuel tax?

But put that to the side for a moment. Even if you had a country that collected a significant amount of revenue from driver licensing, and you inadvisably wanted to continue to collect that amount of money from that population (note: this is a regressive tax anywhere that most people drive cars), why would you need driver licensing for that instead of adding the same amount to the car tax?
Not a bad comment though.

It's a reality that a sizeable proportion of sky high auction prices relate to delibrately balloning value as a cover story for moving money about in plain sight.

> the coulombic efficiency of SSAB-PDBM was 84% at 4 C rate, which gradually decreased to 66% at 101 C rate.

Lithium batteries are over 95% efficient, so a long way indeed. Since the battery contains water, I assume it doesn't work below 0 C.
A major pain point of using XPath in isolation (not embedded in XSLT or something else) is those damn namespace bindings. Ugly enough as xmlns: pseudo attributes, in the absence of XML you'd have to use freaking XPointer bindings (as in "xmlns(bla=uri)//bla:xpathexpr/bla:following[@here]"), interpret HTML as XHTML with implicit namespaces, and similar tricks I thought HTML5 left behind for good. Bit surprised htmx falls into the XML nostalgia trap.
While I agree with you that America is using Europe in this way, let's not pretend this isn't a self-inflicted wound.

For America it doesn't matter if it's a dem or rep president - they do whatever they have to do to stay afloat, to grow, even if it's at the expense of the rest of the world. Here in Europe our unelected and unaccountable politicians take progressivism as a religion knowing that it harms our economy and our freedom. These politicians betray us as much as possible and we can do little to stop them.
When dealing with Marxist or Keynsians (or modern monetary theorists for that matter) it is a safe bet that the people implementing the policies haven't read and don't intend to follow the theory.

So I am simultaneously shy of saying "Kaynes was wrong" and confident that anyone claiming "Kaynes was right and we must do suchandsuch!" is saying the wrong thing. Ditto the other theories.
Thank you! Excellent feedback and completely aligned with the intent here.

> It also means that money is committed upfront by the companies, i.e. the money is real and exists, has been set aside for this thing and in case of a dispute polar can make decisions, etc

Glad to say, that's how it works already. A pledge is paid upfront and the capital resides within the Polar platform account with Stripe until the issue is marked completed. Then it's transferred to the maintainer minus fees (10%). Or refunded to the backer after 6 months (a timeframe we'll experiment with). We're going to build a "Polar balance" so individuals or companies can top-up their account, automatically disperse it etc too.

So the only question is whether it needs to be abstracted into a "token" concept or can simply continue to be $ upfront. Definitely some advantages and opportunities with "token" vs. money though. Just a bit mindful of the associations people have with "token" specifically from the crypto world.

> they also might want to put tokens in a pot the maintainer can access to "spend" on issues they want to prioritise for the project or allow them to "spend" tokens at a specific rate

Kirby has a very loyal customer base w/ lots of people that exclusively work with Kirby in their day job (like I am) - there's a new update? People report the first bugs in minutes. Huge benefit of Kirby imho (and also a reason why I prefer it over Statamic, Statamic people are often like "oh you have a question? yeah go look into github issues from over three years ago, i'm not here to help" tbh)
That’s a lot of strange assumptions considering you’d likely be hiking alone on that island and just met a few people here and there.

Where did you get everyone? I assumed this is just a marketing campaign started by a few people.
I moved from the US to Europe a year ago and I think articles like this don't capture quality of life in Europe well.

Just think about healthier food, walkable cities, great public transportation, safety, free education and healthcare. The way I see it, life in Europe is less stressful and more enjoyable than in the US.

Having less money translates into having a smaller house or a car, but in my opinion that doesn't make you any less happy. You just need enough to live comfortably, which especially in tech is not that hard, and then you can focus on whatever gives your life meaning.
From what I know, we only have single military airport capable of supporting F-35. Fully loaded F35 needs 2.5 km of high quality concrete. It also needs extensive overhaul after every flight to maintain stealth coating. There is no "quick refual/arm" with stealth, it is more like operating Space Shuttle!

There are also civilian airports, but we would propably run out of those very soon. And using civilian infrastructure for military purposes (like bombing foreign country) would not be politically very digestible!
It seems there's news of a battery breakthrough every week. I've learned to temper expectations, because so many "breakthroughs" turn out to be dead ends. Because it's not enough for a battery to be incredibly light, or made of abundant materials, or last for ten thousand cycles. It needs to be good any many things and at least okay at most things.

E.g.—

• How much capacity per dollar?

• How much capacity per kilogram?

• How much capacity per litre?

• How quickly can it be charged?

• How quickly can it be discharged?

• How much energy is lost between charging and discharging?

• How predisposed is it to catching fire?

• How available are the materials needed to manufacture it?

• How available are the tools/skills required to manufacture it?

• How resilient is it to mechanical stress, e.g. vibration?

• How much does performance degrade per cycle?

• How much does performance degrade when stored at a high state of charge?

• How much does performance degrade when stored at a low state of charge?

• How much does performance drop at high temperatures?

• How much does performance drop at low temperatures?

• How well can it be recycled at end-of-life?

A sufficiently bad answer for any one of these could utterly exclude it from contention in many usages. A battery which scores well on everything except mechanical resilience is a non-starter for EVs, for example. On the other hand, a battery that's no good for EVs might be great for stationary storage.

I'm only a layperson and this list is the result of just a few minutes thought. I'm sure someone with more familiarity with the subject could double this list. But the point is, when you daydream about some hypothetical future battery tech, you need to appreciate just how well today's lithium chemistries score in so many areas.
Alright fair that as a human myself I wouldn’t know what I’d fall prey to, but until we can see this in modern times with video recordings and learn more about the actual mechanism here , I’d like to continue believe this is BS and probably an urban myth.

Linus Carl Pauling FRS; (February 28, 1901 – August 19, 1994)

Was an American chemist, biochemist, chemical engineer, peace activist, author, and educator.

He published more than 1,200 papers and books, of which about 850 dealt with scientific topics.

New Scientist called him one of the 20 greatest scientists of all time,

and as of 2000, he was rated the 16th most important scientist in history.

I do roughly this too, except my vimrc is about 8 lines. I type it out from memory every time I use a new machine.
you can also use $NVIM_APPNAME if you want a more "full" switch between configurations. especially helpful for trying/switching between distributions (i use it for switching between my own config and lazyvim). basically, it modifies the paths where neovim looks for config and data files on startup:

config path:
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim/ -> $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/$NVIM_APPNAME/

data path on Windows:
$LOCALAPPDATA/nvim-data/ -> $LOCALAPPDATA/{$NVIM_APPNAME}-data/

I think it takes at least one month to get into vim, let alone mastering any of the plugins, and afterwards you keep learning every day.

IMO this is not due to the difficulty of installing plugins (which is becoming easier and easier), but rather to embrace the vim "philosophy".

Many think that VSCode is better because easier to use and has more features. However I think this is because they don't use any advanced features of VSCode either, only the glaring obvious ones.
Huge fan of StackAid! Glad you're using it! Just to clarify and out of curiosity, what do you mean with "doesn't lock anything down" in the context of StackAid vs. Polar?
GamersNexus too had nothing positive (and LOTS of negative) to say about AlienWare (= Dell).

My own limited experience (one XPS 15, a Dell laser printer that Just Works™ 10 years on, and plenty of Dell monitors) have been pretty positive, but I hate how all their desktops and servers use proprietary parts and have hence never personally bought any of them.
It's a good occasion to mention the Ultimate64: https://ultimate64.com/Ultimate64

Gideon isn't very good at advertising, so not everyone knows this even exists. It's a complete C64 emulation motherboard. You mount it into an existing C64, place the SID in a socket (for real analog SID sound) and enjoy a modernized C64 with perfect zero-delay HDMI output, great sound, 1541 drive emulation, cartridges, etc.

It still blows my mind that you can plug in a USB stick containing every C64 game ever written.

This thing is really impressive and after you've used it for a while, it's actually hard to go back to the "real" C64 motherboard :-)

Implementing all this on an FPGA is a mind-boggling feat, and I have nothing but the highest respect for Gideon.
Your study doesn't actually say that. You'd expect their comparison to be with other developed countries given how it's worded, but in reality:

The UK had the lowest healthcare expenditure per capita relative to our comparator countries (UK, $3825 (£2972; €3392); study average, $5700), although this was roughly in line with the average healthcare expenditure of the OECD member states ($3854) and the EU member states

So the UK spends about the same as other EU and OECD countries. It only spends less compared to a set of hand-picked "comparator countries" which are: Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, and the USA.

That's a remarkably cherry-picked list. If you average such a small list then
the mean will be dominated by healthcare spending in the USA. To get better and less cherry-picked data you can turn to the ONS. See Figure 1 (2017) here:

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthan...

The UK is around the same level as Finland, New Zealand and other developed countries.

This chart really makes it obvious how they picked their "comparator countries": all the countries that spend the most on healthcare. That isn't surprising. It's hard to get a more biased source on British medical spending than the British Medical Journal. Of course academics specializing in healthcare will claim the UK doesn't spend enough on healthcare.
So basically your problem is feeling insecure because other people do different choices.

For me it feels easy to migrate my config.

Just copy/clone the dotfiles, launch neovim and run a command to update the plugins and everything is good to go.

If you want the 'good old days' you can just take an old computer, emulator or 'simple' game engine which just exposes a few drawing primitives.

Vulkan or DirectX are made for current high-performance applications. Not stuff you put together on a sunday afternoon. They reflect the capabilities of today's hardware and therefore are complicated.

Engines like Godot expose some new concepts, but those are really not very complicated. You'll probably invent them on your own before finishing your first game. And then discover Godot developers did a better job after years of iterating.
Arizona fab is not even a GIGAFAB (more than 100,000 wafers per month). It's just a MegaFab that likely produces chips for US defense uses. They can't spend huge amount of human resources to speed it up.

You need X doctors per 100000 people. Point. That means the budget for training physicians needs to expand with population, 8 years ahead of time. Instead it’s been dropping and dropping, while the government also made the job of physician much less attractive. And there’s still a Numerus clausus. The idea that remote communities have a local physician is already a romantic idea from the past.

And don’t worry. Student physicians these days are working as a nurse before even the second year in many places. Of course, this is effectively used as a way to save money, not to have sufficient personnel, and that means these students are often standing there alone, not learning much, making mistakes.

The government’s idea seems to be to just allow more immigrant doctors… except immigrant doctors largely go to 2 countries, and even there it’s not enough. And, as per usual, policy fails, government doubles down on failed policy. Meanwhile, professors in medical faculties are keenly aware that they can’t let more people in and failing a student is more 72h shifts for everyone… so the quality of doctors, or at least the bottom level, is going downhill fast too.

The scary bit is that if the system fails beyond a certain point, it’ll require large investment for a decade before you even see the first improvements. And, of course, it will make a lot of victims. We don’t even really know how far that point is.

Is it? I have studied languages at school and using apps and never really achieved any fluency or understanding of spoken or written language.

I lived in Spain for a bit over 3 months when I was a young man and became fluent in spoken Spanish. To the point I started thinking in Spanish but never noticed when that happened.

So the method of learning really does seem to matter, at least for me.
In an environment with rising energy prices it is hard to compete with a net oil exporter.
