There is hope that/ongoing research into the algorithm (so that it) will be extended beyond the paragraph/page and will allow the sort of optimizations/adjustments which are necessary.

In almost 4 decades of typesetting, I've had a chapter come out exactly right, requiring no adjustment exactly _once_ (fastest 40 minutes of my life) --- the usual approach is after:

- importing the text and all the images, paging everything with the defaults

one has to:

- check the last page --- is it reasonably full? is the page which it is ending on acceptable --- would it be better to gain or lose a page?

- from the beginning, check each image/table --- where do they fall relative to the first reference? What needs to move to what page? Make gross adjustments to make that happen where possible (resizing images/tables/tweaking placement, if the book design allows, change image/table type/appearance to adjust things

- see where one falls at the end of the chapter --- last page full enough? Would it be desirable to gain/lose a page?

- go back to the beginning, begin fine tuning each page/spread --- are there any paragraphs which don't look nice? (setting too tight/loose, rivers, stacks, &c., adjust as needed), do the bottom lines line up? adjust paragraph specs/image size to make them line up (keeping in mind if one wants to gain/lose a page) --- do this for each page/spread

- check the last page --- repeat any of the above adjustments as necessary --- sometimes, while one might want to gain a page, a tighter setting losing a page looks sufficiently better that it's worth un-doing all the tweaking an re-setting thus

I was using on-demand TPUs primarily, and preemptible TPUs secondarily. Neither would last more than an hour or two. And two was something of a minor miracle by the end.
For this reason, when Florus was deliberating whether he should go down to Nero's spectacles and also perform in them himself, Agrippinus said to him, "Go down": and when Florus asked Agrippinus, "Why do not you go down?" Agrippinus replied, "Because I do not even deliberate about the matter."

It's a good idea to be caching sdists and wheels — for resilience against PyPI downtime, for left-pad scenarios, and even just good netiquette — and for packages that don't have a wheel for your environment, you can fairly easily build that wheel yourself and stick it into the cache.

I like to save the best / most interesting links I come across as I browse the web. It can come in handy to pull up a blog post I read a while ago or remember some new sass product or developer tool I wanted to check out. I'm using https://raindrop.io now which works great for this.

When I looked into it I was surprised that browsers don't have this kind of bookmark management built-in. I'd be very happy with two small additions to browsers: (1) display by / sort by date added and (2) a small separate freeform text box for notes (so I can describe why I saved the link).

(Optionally it could be nice if browsers adopted some standard sync mechanism for bookmarks, maybe based on WebDAV like the Floccus extension).

Then again, these dedicated external bookmark managers do have nice features like tags, search, and offline downloads or page screenshots. Those are all great!

Linkwarden looks like a nice product. Looks like it would tick all the boxes for my use-case and the design is pleasant. I like that it's open source and has a fair price for the hosted offering. Maybe I'll give it a try!

>>Climate change, resource depletion, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, pollution, overpopulation, soil erosion, and overfishing are all symptoms of ecological overshoot. Agriculture is a key culprit in 5 out of 7 of those symptoms, and animal ag accounts for 80% of all agriculture.

Most of those are area-related. If we didn't need to cover so much of the planet with crops grown to be feedstock for farm animals, those problems would vanish.

Point #1: This bait-and-switch tactic shouldn't be allowed by consumer regulations (Not in the US, but here in Brazil it would be a no-no) as in the end Amazon is tricking it's use base into paying for the Fire TV as a great deal, when in the end they will pay more for streaming as those costs that Amazon is putting on the streaming services will be paid by them in the end.

#2 Wouldn't this movement be (potentially) a great chance for Plex to better position itself in the legal side of streaming? Because by offering a free hub for streaming (even licensing it for hardware sellers like Dlink and others, like Boxee once did) might generate a good revenue stream for them...until somebody buys the whole team (I miss you Boxee!)
Short-term, yes. Long-term, these apps and services will start looking into offering hardware solutions of their own to become competitors, not providers.

Latex doesn't require you to learn how to multiply two lengths! The beauty of LaTex is that it makes the simple things easy and hard things possible. If you don't like programming in TeX, great, just use a package that does what you want or use the defaults of the language. People who really care about the fine details of how the document looks can count on the TeX engine to do that (after reading Knuth's book). Everybody else can still take advantage of the great quality of the results.
There are many "smartphones" available with EPD display, and some of them use colour EPD displays.

120k years ago in context:

* 170,000 years ago: humans are wearing clothing by this date.
* 125,000 years ago: the peak of the Eemian interglacial period.
* ~120,000 years ago: possibly the earliest evidence of use of symbols etched onto bone
* 75,000 years ago: Toba Volcano supereruption that may have contributed to human populations being lowered to about 15,000 people

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

The Eemian climate is believed to have been warmer than the current Holocene. Changes in the Earth's orbital parameters from today (greater obliquity and eccentricity, and perihelion), known as Milankovitch cycles, probably led to greater seasonal temperature variations in the Northern Hemisphere. During the northern summer, temperatures in the Arctic region were about 2-4 °C higher than in 2011.

The hippopotamus was distributed as far north as the rivers Rhine and Thames. . . . The prairie-forest boundary in the Great Plains of the United States lay further west near Lubbock, Texas, whereas the current boundary is near Dallas. . . . Sea level at peak was probably 6 to 9 metres (20 to 30 feet) higher than today . . . .

We host applications that do sharding like this, but when we build our own stuff at Fly.io, or publish tooling like LiteFS, we're generally not thinking about sharding right now. We like things that are easy to keep our heads around.

We're a hosting provider, not really a database provider. Systems that do sharding, Raft consistency, and stuff like that are built on top of systems like ours, not so much inside of them. :)
That's assuming you get the content through the services themselves rather than through other means.
Just in case this is just a case of word confusion (which I've had before), "anthropogenic" means "caused by humans", not "occurring at the same time as humans".

Why not? People do it with forever stamps.

>If you said "I am starting wonderwonder's airline. I will only sell tickets based on FFPs. I am currently selling FFPs at a discount to what I will sell them at later and they are transferable. You should buy them now to resell them later" they would be securities.

Might as well be the way the USPS advertises forever stamps.
interesting?
It's not just a question of control algorithm, if have one dish you need high, and the next you need lower, you have not overshot anything but you need the oven to come down. No control algorithm will magic that out.
This is the error of the thinking. It would be like saying software doesn't have a moat because thats just clever talking to a processor.

But no one would say that now, thats ridiculous. There is a sufficient degree of prompt engineering that is already defensible, I'm already doing it myself IMO. You'll see very sophisticated hybrid programming/prompting systems being developed in the next year that will prove out the case.

For example 30 parallel prompts that then amalgamate into a decision and an audit, with 10 simulation level prompts running chained afterwards to clean the output. These types of atomic configurations will become sufficiently complex to not be just for 'anybody'.
As mentioned in the article, the core was handled under red light to prevent any potential damage. Perhaps the decision to convert the photograph to black and white was made because otherwise it would have been black and red.

People worry about accelerating climate change now because we live here now.

It’s not a theoretical science thing. We have farms and cities and towns and bridges and dams and reservoirs in particular places, and we are accelerating the depreciation of many of them. The result will be tremendous loss of wealth, movement of populations, and the associated social consequences of those.

Humanity doesn’t hate itself, we like ourselves, which is why we are so concerned about what we are doing to ourselves.

If you want to become a better developer through aviation, I can't recommend anything more highly than reading through NTSB accident reports. Learn from others the many, many ways small problems and misjudgements become accidents. It'll change the way you build things.

Most of the major apps have something like scanning a QR code on the display to authorize a device using your mobile, which works well. Others can just cast to a TV, the way YouTube does. But the real problem with just slapping Ubuntu on it is you are losing HD video and often the audio features as well. It's only a good solution if you are indifferent to picture quality.

I'm really surprised that no one has bothered (or managed) to create an open-source TEE emulator. I mean, there's a ton of different ARM CPUs around there, and it's all ARM under the hood, so it should be possible to create a virtual TEE/TPM and provide it transparently to a VM?

It's an interesting idea --- fundamentally a typeset document is nothing but nested key value pairs where there are:

- tags/formatting large --> small, document --> paragraph --> character-level

- content which is tagged

I find that if one just finds all the "right" packages and uses appropriate markup it mostly "just works", if one then adds a pair of packages:

- one which defines all the additional markup beyond the initial author markup as empty commands

- a second which redefines all those commands to achieve the formatting

The problem isn't doing one plane. It's doing enough of them to make a difference.

Jet fuel is ludicrously energy dense, to the extent that it's easy to underestimate how much energy you need: at any reasonably-sized airport, if you want to replace the current fleet then you need to be talking about roughly a power station's worth of continuous energy delivery into aircraft fuel tanks. That's doable with jet fuel because you're not climbing out of an energy well just to get hold of the fuel. You just separate it out, and the problem becomes pure logistics.

With H2, the volume you need and the added storage complexity means the current logistics becomes a rounding error in comparison to how on earth you get the gigawatts to churn feedstock into gas.

You could do it, but you'd want nukes on-site to do it.
You can always use a switch to multiply the inputs.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. The amplitudes of co2 ppm seem to always have been within a certain band though, topping out at 300ppm. Right now, we're at 420ppm and increasing what looks like exponentially. [0]

I personally think Apple does things correctly, and they do charge a premium, but they sell good products rather than requiring more of your time and energy (ads)
Part of the problem, which you fail to address, is the time frame when these changes take place and the possibility of the ecosystem to adapt. Yes, we've been much cooler and much warmer, with these changes taking place over thousand of years: not a couple of centuries.

Just to clarify, this is not a new version of the TeX engine or a new language, it is a new set of macro interfaces that one can use to implement features in the LaTeX macro package. It provides certain facilities that make it easier to write larger macro packages for users.

Correct. And the fact is, Apple would rather not (as it comes with government antitrust scrutiny) Instead they'll focus on profit share.

> On a personal side, what I host is only working on ipv6, as my ISP has stable ipv6 but not ipv4, and for the convenience of configuration.

For me it's the other way around - I disable IPv6 on all my servers and only host anything on IPv4. I know it's frowned upon in networking circles, but IPv4 "just works" for me, and I want to reduce attack scope and maintenance burden (I had some problems with IPv6 messing things up, or my ipv6 firewall misconfigurations).
Wouldn't "ease of putting into production" also factor in?

For many use cases, being able to put a proof of concept out of the door in hours vs days vs weeks is the top selection criterion if everything else is "good enough".
You're thinking of math. That the math we've developed leads to intuitive useful results, or that it is useful for making predictions about the world is no coincidence. If science rests on anything it rests on the belief that the world operates through repeatable principles, that you can repeat an experiment and expect the same result.
I would try Lyx. No need to deal with Latex errors and its equation editor is actually worth using (unlike literally every other equation editor).

TeXmacs is another option. No idea if it's any good - I always ignored it based on the name because it sounds like some kind of Emacs based Latex editor but it's actually nothing to do with Emacs and not based on Latex. Terrible name. Might be good though.

If drilling big holes for scientific research is your thing, I suggest https://usoceandiscovery.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Casc... as an interesting read about earthquakes and tsunamis.

A quick summary:

> Geophysical and hydrological observatories in sealed boreholes provide a powerful tool to understand the hydrology of crustal formations, a means measure the hydrologic signal from changes in volumetric strain, and a stable site for high quality seismic and geodetic instrumentation.

This data is not just useful on its own, but also when correlated to other research. For example, 400+ years ago there was a large earthquake (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1700_Cascadia_earthquake) off the US Pacific Northwest coast (and corresponding tsunami in Japan) that is referenced.
I think people who are not already familiar with the known history of the Earth find it interesting that there have been higher CO2 levels and temps than there are now.

And I agree: the history of the Earth is interesting. Which is why so many people study and work in the field of geology.

That is still a lot more than I would want to spend given I have working solutions with larger monitors.

Plus I would need to figure out the mount for that, I currently just use a 3D printed VESA wall mount for what I have.

But given that what you linked is $800 for a screen 10 inches smaller than what is being advertised here... this monitor is likely not going to be cheap.
