Carbon footprint only seems large if carbon sequestration is not taken into account. The source of feed is the primary factor here: Is it created locally and sustainably, or do you need large cargo shipments of Amazon soy which burnt down parts of the rainforest?
Many. Most were from before I was 18. Culture around video games changed in the late 2000’s to early 2010’s. I stopped making friends with random people online like I had when I was ages 10-20.

One game that stands out as one I played a metric fuckload of though - Jedi Knights: Dark Forces II. I don’t think I even played more than half of the first level of single player. I had so much fun with that game and especially the mods that came with it. Miss it a lot.

I have an IKEA VINDSTYRKA air quality meter and while I doubt it's as accurate as the one in the linked post, it very quickly increases when I'm cooking on the hob. It's gone from the usual 1-5 right up to 30 before. Being mid way through a house renovation and don't have a working extractor fan.

I'd love to record the historical readings in Grafana but it looks like extracting the data is quite an involved process.

Not particularly, no. The hardware in the Steam deck is a known parameter set and it's entirely feasible to optimize around it.

You're not really responding to my points, and instead seem to be opting to recede into user choice or customizability as a feature. I'm not dogging on either of those - I'm just saying that they don't need to be the default for a platform like this, and to imply otherwise is just weird.

Things should "just work" where they can. Expecting people to become Linux wizards is poor form.

You're making a joke, but when you look at what's happening with software licenses (mostly in AI) that restrict uses to those that the releasing companies deem appropriate (such as nonsensically no use in the nuclear industry) it's only a matter of time until political completely creeps into the software supply chain and all your python packages will have their own specific political list of what you can and can't do with them.

That must have been painfully slow but rewarding if and when everything finally worked! I definitely was spoiled trying Fedora Core 6 on a Pentium III with 512MB of RAM, a SoundBlaster Live!, an ATI Rage 128 graphics card, a WD Caviar 40GB IDE HDD, 2x IDE optical drives (a SONY DVD-ROM drive and a SAMSUNG CD-RW drive) and a 3Com Ethernet PCI card without any major (if any) hiccups! (The machine had a 3Com 56k PCI modem but we had just switched to SBCGlobal ADSL (either 128, 256 or 512kbps down) in 2006 which I used to download the live CD ISO(s). I remember being very confused that our 10/100 Linksys Ethernet hub was now being used to distribute the always-on internet between our family desktop and my laptop in addition to sharing files over SMB / Windows File Sharing / Network Neighborhood.)
Yeah i was shocked when we got a CO2 / VOC meter in our house to realize the impact our gas stove was having. Replacing it is high on the todo list but sadly theres a lot of other high priority items up there right now.

I'll never put a gas stove in a house again, not for the reasons most people cite - radon, fire risk etc - but for the CO2 impact.

> Not a concern for me as I'm playing on PC, but why no button mapping?

I'm not sure if this would be exposed in whatever emulator you're using, but the Switch does have console-wide button remapping in the system settings. This obviously isn't sufficient though, since at the very least it presents a huge hassle for having different input settings per game or if multiple people are sharing the same profile. Unfortunately, Nintendo either doesn't recognize the limitations of only having a single system-wide remapping or doesn't think it's worth prioritizing better solutions within their first-party games.

Part of it is certainly that. It's not strange that some attempt to self medicate with strong psychedelics like mescaline, I heard a few successful stories but it can also go terribly wrong.

No, the way it works is that the current output + potential next tokens to be sampled are checked with the grammar. All potential tokens that don't match are removed. Then, with the list of valid tokens left, normal sampling strategies are used.

I said above that the sky is green, just like people from Meta said that Llama 2 is open source.

See! Actual usage! The sky is now green.

The only reason people say that Llama 2 is open source is because they have been misled, not because the definition is changing. There's a lot of goodwill around the term "open source" because of its actual meaning, so it will always be tempting to abuse it for your own benefit, as not everyone bothers to check whether your claims are actually true.
> What makes that especially pernicious is that, tracing all the way back to the era of Freud, BPD has been viewed as essentially untreatable

I've got the impression that BPD, unlike other personality disorders (or things labelled as such), isn't actually considered essentially untreatable, at least not nowadays. BPD probably has a notorious reputation, possibly because of the potentially emotionally taxing nature of living with or treating emotionally unstable people, and perhaps because it could be difficult to treat. But no modern factual source I've come across has considered it untreatable.

Even a superficial source such as Wikipedia says the majority of those who have been diagnosed achieve recovery over time [1]. I've also read from reputable sources [2] that in 5 or 10 years the majority of patients no longer fulfil the diagnostic criteria.

That doesn't invalidate what you're saying, of course. The symptoms do overlap with a lot of other disorders (which is also true of many other psychiatric diagnoses, which is why differential diagnosis is important). And the very fact that just about every other thing that's called a personality disorder is considered nearly untreatable (and stable over time), while BPD isn't, is probably a reason to consider whether it should belong in the same category.

There was no such request for services made to Bob McDavitt from the Nina before she sailed from Opua. Bob McDavitt is a well-known and respected meteorologist who retired in 2012 from the NZ Met office where he had responsibility for marine and aviation weather forecasting. Now as a consultant he provides services to cruising yachts, providing weather forecasts and voyage forecasts. (www.metbob.com.)"

You have more inputs to an LLM than just the prompt. For example, people commonly pass parameters which control the sampling of tokens.

Implementing grammar based sampling does NOT require "re-prompting until it gets it right". Imagine a point in time when the LLM is generating some particular token. Which token will it produce? To decide that, it evaluates and assigns a score to each potential token. Then it chooses one of these options based on some rules. Rules could be as simple as "pick the token with the highest score". That is called a greedy strategy. Usually more complex strategies are used and they typically have some randomness. That is called sampling. You can imagine a grammar based sampling strategy to force specific tokens at specific positions in the output, for example, to close a bracket in json.
Gas stoves are basically only safe to use if you ALWAYS turn on the fan (and even then just barely), but most people only do that if they're cooking something really smoky.
Yes I agree, and to a large extent (from what I know) creating that designation was marketing from universities.

To be a licensed engineer in Canada you need the degree and then 4 years' experience working under licensed P.Eng which in software is basically impossible. So most people would have the degree but never apply for licensure.

All this under the auspices of "ethics", which as a reminder, is just an arbitrary set of rules which someone is trying to pass off as having a divine origin.

They are arbitrary only in the sense that, sans a religion's God laying down ethics from on high, all ethics are arbitrary human creation.

But we care about ethics all the same. Engineers care about ethics because if they do not, they kill people. Civil engineers care because faulty work kills people. Electrical engineers care because faulty work kills people. Mechanical engineers care because faulty work kills people.

And as software engineers, we should care because our careless work kills people.

And if we do not care, the government will force our hand. And they will not listen to pleas for them to be reasonable.

Software engineers abused people's personal data, the EU's GDPR has outlawed using all but the absolute minimum personal data. Meta has been told in court by the CJEU that advertising is not an acceptable use of personal data, even if needed to pay the bills. Ad-tech is a doomed industry.

So it's your choice. Start caring about ethics. Or the government locks our field in so much regulatory gridlock that you will wish they just outlawed it entirely.

The whole point of the article is that enforced profession ethics are a leverage tool. If you don't have enforcement, you don't have that leverage. It's not pretentious, it's simply factual.

If you say "It violates my professional ethics to program the drivers for an orphan blender", your boss can fire you and replace you with some other developer with no such scruples. If a professional engineer says "It violates my (enforced) professional ethics to sign off on the blade design of this orphan blender, and anybody who did would lose their licensing", then their boss could fire them, but they're not going to get their blade signed off.
That is very much not the environment sarracenia purpurea evolved in. I can't imagine it will survive very long. They need a lot of direct light, and they definitely need a winter dormancy period. They do not make great houseplants, at least not for more than a few weeks or months.

Tropical pitcher plants (Nepenthes) do make decent houseplants, although they struggle through the dry indoor Canadian winters here. They do seem to capture a lot of the fungus gnats I've been fighting with lately (I can see dozens and dozens in each pitcher), but not nearly enough to make a noticeable difference.
It's just big business. And the companies reaping the most benefits from it will fight a bitter war to never let go of subsidies.

Good points about Slackware being perfect for learning. It really was, for the reasons you gave. I started with Slackware 9.0, which I think was the last release to fit on a single CD-ROM. Like you I learned a lot about Linux, I wrote lots of simple shell scripts and did a lot of ./configure; make; make install.

Slackware lets you do things your way.

Congrats Patrick and Slackware.

Watch it. Either the bugs don't go in at all: you need better bait. Or there's a gap where they are getting back out: tape the gap. Or they are too clever, and find the hole in the tip of the cone. I've never seen that, but you could try making the cone deeper?
That is bad. But again: From the people I know, from the papers I read (yes really), from the videos I watched, it does not sound like BPD to me.

BPD-afflicted people are terrified to be abandoned, for one thing. Why would someone who lives that way actively antagonize the people around them? Yes, the emotional feedback loop if not broken out of can make people with untreated BPD show strong emotional reactions (anger, depression, crying) in the moment, but they snap back out of it, are usually ashamed afterwards, and don't press on with what can only be described as nonsense.

For several years, I got cluster headaches for two months every two years or so. Thankfully, I haven't had a cycle for over four years, so whatever I tell you may be out of date, and of course everyone is different. I recommend you find a good neurologist, preferably one not too old--mine kept retiring at the most inconvenient times.

Ibuprofen, Tylenol, and indomethacin have never helped me for cluster headaches, often leading instead to rebound headaches of a different kind. The three things that help me are oxygen, sumatriptan injection, and verapamil.

The number one thing that helps stop my episode is oxygen: 15Lpm or so of pure oxygen through a non-rebreather mask. A concentrator probably won't do the trick. If you have daily episodes, you can go through an MM tank in a month.

My second choice is an Imitrex (sumatriptan) injection with a STATdose pen. Pills are worthless. The 4mg dose is just as effective as 6mg, so I can take three doses if I'm having a bad day. (The daily limit is 12mg.) They sometimes make me feel funny, and the headache occasionally comes back in an hour or two.

Verapamil helps reduce the frequency and intensity of my headaches. It has a tendency to lower my resting heart rate: I was below 40bpm one morning, and I'm not a runner.

Good luck. Clusters aren't fun.
If they are just a set of rules made up by people, why can't we call them "laws"? You know, like those other rules made up by people.

The article advocates a set of laws intended to prevent certain people from writing software, and constraining how a select few do write software. It doesn't talk about how exactly those laws will be decided on. Although it does say they are "facts", it doesn't tell me about a way to observe them for myself, so I guess the author just looked into the mind of God, and I should take his word for it.

Within British Columbia at least, the "practice of professional engineering" means the provision of advice or services that are based on an engineering discipline, or ancillary to those. "Engineering discipline" means "agricultural, biomedical, bioresource, biosystems, building, chemical, civil, computer, electrical, environmental, food, forest, geological, geomatics, industrial, marine, mechanical, mechatronics, metallurgical, mining, naval architecture, nuclear, petroleum, software and structural engineering and engineering physics".

So professional licensing is required for any provision of advice or services relating to software engineering (etc), including services internal to a company. And a professional engineer is required to stamp any documents containing engineering content that are expected to be relied on by others.

(I'm not disagreeing with you. You don't need to be a professional engineer to have a circuit board made or a part machined. But you might need to stamp your design drawings as part of a certification process, or if others will be relying on them).
