Love to see it. I wish it addressed reliability, though. In my neck of the woods in Sweden, coverage is pretty decent, but on more than one occasion, I've had to bounce between 7+ fast chargers before finding one that actually worked.

I started using Odin just recently, I'm very happy with it so far, it's exactly what I needed, a mix between Go (no garbage collector) and C, context system, bunch of allocators available, a sane module system (folder based) and tagged union.. very good stuff

And they have a very polished language server https://github.com/DanielGavin/ols That helped me learn Odin in few hours only

And you read your Emily Dickinson,

And I my Robert Frost,

And we note our place with bookmarkers

That measure what we've lost.

Like a poem poorly written

We are verses out of rhythm,

Couplets out of rhyme,

In syncopated time

And the dangling conversation

And the superficial sighs,

Are the borders of our lives.

You either transport the food or you transport the fertilizer, heavy equipment, water, and other inputs necessary to grow the food. And often to places that aren't well suited to it.

Something's gonna have to be transported one way or another. Or we can just decide everyone will need to have blander and less varied diets. That will bring the amount of stuff to transport down, but you're still probably going to be more efficient having the inputs in a few places that can grow food really well and exporting it to the places that can't.
Yes I was only really referencing production long lived code. Mostly I’m a big fan of quick and dirty being something that doesn’t really exist. I believe in quick and throwaway and quick and single/multi use. Comments are fine, just the original suggestion I was referencing sounded like they were a priority.
> they'll use gas or diesel generators

This obviously can't be allowed to happen .. but I don't think there's any sign of that, as grid electricity remains cheaper than onsite generation. On a trip last month it was very noticeable that several rest stops had under-construction chargers in addition to the one or two that had previously been put in.
If you're dealing with single molecule cracks and extreme vacuum, even vacuum grease is going to offgas and contaminate things.

Hydrogen is EXTREMELY small, the temps the poster is talking about are very very low, and XHV/UHV is extremely low pressure vacuum.

Like 'single molecules we don't want rattling around is a problem', 'more vacuum than outer space vacuum', and 'oxygen long ago turned into a solid' temperatures.

Go to the outlet stores. Usually a significant savings for the same quality. If you have one of those kind of rural clothing/outdoors outfitter stores near you, those are usually great too.

When you get a feel for brands (how they handle sizing and materials), you can then just order online and return in store.

Most durable clothing I’ve ordered has typically been Patagonia, Prana (not Prada) and Carhartt. J Crew is good quality too, that’s about the price point after which quality/value has diminishing returns.
> we know this because influenza cases went almost to zero during the pandemic, implying that the same behavior in the same population

We don't know this no, what you said here is just an assumption. There's a competing hypothesis (viral interference) which seems to explain the data better.

The way epidemiology currently works just cannot tell us which virus is more infectious. I agree that a rebase onto microbiology would be hard and maybe fail but the current approach has already failed. Doing difficult research that might not pan out is how they justify grant funding in the first place.

Is GDF15 found in animal foods, plant foods, both or maybe neither because we create it?
They introduce their own problems. They're typically brittle ceramics, making them hard to work with. They're more expensive to manufacture. And they have a lower critical current density (i.e. there's less current they can carry before losing superconductivity).
Bringing up unrelated highly controversial topics is not good. It tends to derail threads and accumulate emotionally charged, poorly informed comments.

But anyway, leaks of radioactive materials are inherently much easier to detect than other kinds of leaks because they are radioactive. Every major hospital in the developed world has a radiation safety department or equivalent performing regular leak and contamination testing in association with scintigraphy and brachytherapy, but this has not prevented the widespread use of radionuclides in medicine.

The notion of "contaminat[ing] everything they touch" is also a misconception that the radiation protection community has tried to combat for decades: radiation is only a meaningful hazard insofar as it reaches levels comparable to the natural background radiation produced by 40K, 14C, and other sources pervasive in the natural environment. There is therefore a level of dilution beyond which radioactive contamination ceases to be of meaningful concern, just as is true with all other toxic substances.

If these are correlated, then not every treatment for them would necessarily be as effective against dementia. However, if the cause of the protein imbalances is something people can take steps to prevent, then doing so would logically have a greater than zero chance of mitigating dementia risk.

>This year, Mendoza and two other women approached Schreiber and told him that if he was limiting them to 48 hours a week, they wouldn't cut asparagus this year. They didn't want to be on the farm seven days a week as required during the asparagus harvest.

>They had their own economic puzzle to figure out, and fewer hours meant it no longer made sense to pay for child care for all of those days.

okay, so he won't give more than 48 hours, but he's still requiring a 7-day schedule. this isn't about the hours, this is about stupid scheduling.

and what prevents him exactly from changing the hourly, so the total pay is equivalent? if you take the example of 70h at 30/h with no overtime, 70h at 26/h with time and a half would be roughly equivalent.

as with everything management complains about, this is a management problem

It's not just Putin saying this, but also Western leaders (quietly) confirming it.

Merkel, Macron, Bennett, et al. have asserted that Washington+London are more or less sabotaging any diplomatic solution that doesn't involve the inevitable collapse of Russia.

Russia has put their diplomatic cards on the table multiple times, including in late 2021 where they literally drafted a "security guarantee" treaty that, modulo further negotiations, Washington would simply have to sign to get Russian troops away from Ukraine. And Washington didn't even try to call a bluff, they just ignored the opportunity. Yet they constantly miscall bluffs of military escalation. Truly baffling.

It cannot be overstated how utterly nonexistent the diplomacy has been between Washington and Moscow particularly since 2014. Because one side sees the other as a fundamentally inferior state.
Do they? As in for immediate consumption on the premises? Or packaged to-go? The latter seems reasonable, but the former seems like a somewhat dangerous idea. Maybe I'm just too US-centric

I almost missed my first (and most important) job offer in the summer of 2000 because I was on dial-up almost 24 hours a day and my phone was constantly busy. I applied for a new job and left my home phone number which was also my dialup line. Thankfully my new boss was able to finally get through, and my career in tech was born!

And it wasn't even 56K because our phone lines were crap. I would get about 28K on a good day.

There are ways to fix this of course without moving to not eating meat of course. Meat eating is not a 'fetish' in any significant way, much as it suits some agendas to make it seem so. I could claim that about any product or food...

I agree on removing subsidies though, they encourage the wrong kind of outcomes and shortcuts.
It’s so small at that point it begins to act a little like a white hole (Hawking radiation iirc?) and evaporates quickly. It’s surprisingly difficult for matter to cross an event horizon.

Edit-actually having a small black hole would unlock some truly sci-fi sounding tech. Like the fastest interstellar travel, seemingly unlimited power, etc.
Stupid Apple only tested their phones in constant temperature air conditioned offices to be honest.

This may be coming from a place of ignorance, but if that were the case, then time would drift significantly constantly due to Intel speed step for example. And if that were the source of truth for time, then when your computer is off, it wouldn’t be able to keep. I’m pretty sure they all have real time clock chips in the motherboards.
Text formats have innate issues when it comes to deserialization: you don't know the size of each field of your data until you scan the entire field. This makes deserializers generally more prone to DOS attacks. Many binary formats must necessarily store the size of fields as metadata, which means you might not need to deserialize the whole message to interpret parts of it. Further, JSON doesn't support streaming natively. These are mostly unique use-cases with marginal improvements, but it can matter.
I dislike protobuf for the reason that the generated code is often quite bad (in terms of the interface in the language you are using) and in external projects it's often a manual step (sometimes with additional headache of protoc2 vs protoc3) to just build the project. In terms of message specification it's quite good though.
The anti-meat take is always lacking in nuance

Any of these types of things said about factory farmed meat is correct. For free-range meat, some of the production does cause habitat destruction. However, most animals are raised on land that is not highly productive for crop agriculture. For example dry areas where most crops will deplete water resources or very hilly areas that are more prone to erosion and harder to operate tractors on, etc (this is even mentioned in the our world in data link). So meat and crop production are not a zero sum game and can even be complementary (crop farmers used to always have chickens, etc).

In a grassland environment one can maintain a close to natural environment with the birds and bees with the difference being that cattle are the only megafauna and cattle predators will be killed. Raising crops means completely altering the environment to an unnatural state that then this report tries to amend and killing all the gophers and other pests along with using pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other chemicals (yes organic farming can reduce this harm).
There are so many reasons sprint goals are abused, it can be it bad management culture trickling down, people in charge not understanding even the simplest points of the Agile Manifesto, or even weird companywide KPIs linked to Scrum or Kanban completion metrics that you can so easily pull out of most agile management software (e.g. Jira).
> "Toxicity" in the LLM space is much less well-defined and there seems to be a reticence on the part of the research community to admit that defining "toxicity" is a necessarily subjective and often political exercise.

Is it the research community or the AI-selling industry? Because I see researchers and AI ethics advocates making that point (that toxicity is both subjective and more broadly contextual) all the time, and not just in a detached way but it is central to their arguments about openness and disclosure and public research on functionality; on the other side, I see censorship and adherence claims around particular political views of “safety” alongside opaqueness as the industry-leaders common response.
Won't many motorway trips still be within EV range without a charge en route? i.e. under e.g. 200 miles.

I once had a long car commute for a while, with time spent on the M25 (a ring road around London, a major motorway / traffic jam) and that was still around 110 miles daily round trip. I could have done it daily on an overnight charge.

So maybe EVs doing a quick partial change out of "desire to avoid filling completely" which swings the numbers the other way. IDK how big these relative effects are, but this is another way in which the maths is different, the numbers are not directly comparable.
There are probably other factors (some shapes just are more readable...) but I believe it's a big part of it yes.

There was a typography trend in the late 90s, 2000s, and you still see echoes of it, towards "mathematical," "geometric" design in fonts. Eg using exactly the same curves, exactly the same bowl size and proportion, exactly the same serif etc across all characters. Now this is mostly regarded as a dead end. The text ends up feeling inhuman or bland, and the readability gains are at best negligible but often simply worse. It seems that the small inconsistencies aid quick character identification, if not too distracting.

Right now the trend is more towards specific, intentionally introduced inconsistency. Most of them are too subtle to notice unless you're specifically studying the font, but ideally in aggregate they give it a certain organic feel and differentiate similar shapes used in different characters.

When you’re talking about data sets so large they dictate what hardware you use, and introduce terms like “cluster”, then 1 = √n

Which is why we need a version 2 of complexity theory, that doesn’t treat memory access or arithmetic on arbitrary precision numbers (aka as n actually goes to infinity) as O(1) operations. They aren’t. Which every large system engineer knows but few will talk about.
The protons that are hitting the dump are at energy far beyond the binding energy of a nucleus. When they hit nuclei there, they shatter them. A shower of progressively less energetic particles forms, including large numbers of newly freed neutrons.

There are accelerator-driven fission reactor ideas that would use ~1 GeV protons (much less energetic than the protons here) to produce neutrons to drive a subcritical target. These might be useful to destroy certain nuclear waste isotopes.

At least in theory, I don't really think this distinction makes much sense. As but the most obvious example, a number of Einstein's most fundamental papers (including special relativity, and mass-energy equivalence) were published as an "amateur", while he was working as a low level patent inspector. And this is from a time when knowledge was quite difficult to access, meaning there really was quite a meaningful distinction between "amateur" and "professional."

Now a days that distinction is largely gone. One can access effectively infinite information online, including access to educational resources from the most well regarded institutions that exist. One benefit of "amateur" science is that one can endlessly chase exceptionally improbable ideas. Publish or perish, bias against negative results, grants gained as a performance metric, and other factors mean the science that the overwhelming majority of academic researchers, let alone corporate, can pursue is quite limited.

Belgium plays a completely different game with the same name, also called Olympic handball.

Your form of handball is played in Ireland. The world championship location alternates between the USA, Canada, and Ireland. In Ireland, it's administered by the GAA, so is strictly amateur, while in North America it's a professional game.

That, and the 400kW peak charging rate (most SuperChargers and batteries are only 250kW capable). With 3-4mi/kWh (7-10km/kWh) it's possible to get 100mi (150km) of charge in <5min. Even 100kW charging feels slow now (anything below 600mi/hr or 1200km/hr).

That's not quite as fast as partially filling your gas tank, but it's within a factor of a few. Of course then next 100km can take 2-3x longer as the rate slows down from peak. (p.s. there are a lot of stations in the US with 20+ SuperChargers and people tend to fill up to 80-90% when traveling. They must be pulling MW!)

Why does swapping out a battery pack cost more than the cost of the car? Seems like a simple maintenance step and I doubt battery packs are sold at below cost in new cars. Do you have a good citation for that? If so that's news to me.

Edit: Ohh you're comparing the price of swapping out a battery on a luxury car with getting a small and frugal ICE car. That's apple to oranges.

That is how Puppet works. Introspect the current state, compare with the desired state, fix as needed. It mostly works, but in reality it will never reach the point of introspecting literally all of the current state. So there are always ways to subtly break things without the tool noticing. (E.g., a file object that ensures the correct path, contents, ownership, and mode, but doesn’t check xattrs or ACL. [That’s hypothetical, not how the actual Puppet file module works.])
Leaked Google pay data reveals the highest salaries the tech giant pays
I find it profoundly unsettling witnessing how many individuals, both within my immediate circles and across the digital landscape here in Germany, outright dismiss the implications of climate change. They label it a "leftist deception", expressing contempt for those striving to mitigate its effects, including figures such as Greta Thunberg who are often subjected to their derision. These individuals assert that the climate has always fluctuated, using this as a justification to make no alterations whatsoever in their lifestyle, including meat consumption and vehicle use. Their defiance even extends to hostility toward governmental efforts aiming to introduce legislation to combat climate change. This unwillingness to acknowledge and adapt to the reality of our changing environment has me genuinely worried about our collective future.

Well, it's just a correlation. No causal link has been established, and anything you do to get "less" GDF15 could put you at greater risk for other types of diseases, since we have no idea what the relationships between these things are. I wouldn't lose sleep over this - like many things in health and nutrition, we must simply admit our ignorance while seeking and hoping for a breakthrough.
It’s very hard to get the permission to run diesel generators for anything else than backup power here. And even then, it needs to be timed very precisely to be in line with regulations.
