In Paris it is customary that people lie on the grass that is available in patches all over the city and grown for that purpose.

So if you make a smooth patch of grass in your Disneyland Paris you invite everybody to assume resting position.
> My ReMarkable 2 has a perfectly fine refresh rate, especially for writing/drawing. Is yours the first gen maybe?

That's because it does not refresh the display when drawing - it transitions the pixels directly (it's called a direct update, or DU mode). I worked on the third-party SDK for this device (hi!) and the DU modes do suffer from ghosting (similar to e-ink monitors) until the display is properly refreshed to correct the charges in each pixel, but this ghosting is typically not too bad when drawing, especially since there is typically a full refresh whenever you zoom, pan, or switch pages.
Not them specifically, but those who are really behind the bill.

Eh.

I make video games. _Everything_ in games is a trade-off. There are areas of my code that are bulletproof, well tested, fuzzex and rock solid. There are parts of it (running in games people play, a lot) that will whiff if you squint too hard at it. Deciding when to employ the second technique is a very powerful skill, and knowing what corners to cut can result in software or experiences that handle the golden path case so much better, you decide it's worth the trade off of cutting said corner.

I'll let you know when I find the right balance.
That's what I thought too when I read that. I would be vomiting buckets if I ate that much. 10mg is usually the most I would ever want.
Probably the same with AI, the short term hype cycle being too early for the vast majority of companies.
As the user he is responding to, your comment and pompous academic attitude is another cririque of mine. You know best and can't be bothered with specifics, because how dare anyone even question the field withour credentials.

I guess the thing that surprised.me is that I thought the majority of THC in "normal" marijuana was in the form of THCA anyway.

I remember reading an article years ago (well before 2018) that basically said "to make the THC in marijuana available in a way that gives pleasurable effects, it must first be decarboxylated, which is why it needs to be heated before being consumed." So from that I thought that most of the stuff that was sold as weed (again, pre 2018) was in the form of THCA anyway.

It depends on a lot of factors, such as your body weight and tolerance. In university a 10mg edible would put me on a nice high for hours. Nowadays I'd need to consume at least 40mg to even feel it. To answer your question though 40mg is a large dose, especially for someone who hasn't used cannabis with frequency. I recommend most people start out with 5-10mg.

What I find really fascinating is that the route of administration can affect your tolerance even if the potency theoretically should be the same. If you consume edibles often (eg for health reasons) you'll find you increasingly need larger and larger doses until it plateaus somewhere. If you "switch it up" and consume the same quantity via, say, a concentrate you vaporize, it'll hit you a lot harder. Even if you don't change the route of administration but the circumstances (like a new location) there's a similar effect.
Microsoft used to “get” IPv6 and they added support to Windows back in the very early 2000s.

All those engineers left or retired and have been replaced by outsourcers and H1Bs.

Nobody at Azure can even spell IPv6.

Turning it on is difficult and then it breaks everything, including unrelated services in other peered vnets.

It’s just shameful how much the engineering skill has degraded in Redmond.
Yeah, I suppose one would have to really live in a bubble.
Your counterargument there betrays a complete misunderstanding of the point I was making.

I wasn't claiming that nuclear power plants couldn't technically ramp up and down. I will happily stipulate that they could. I was arguing it was economically ludicrous to do so. That's because most of the costs of nuclear are fixed: capital cost, financing costs, fixed manpower costs. If you operate the power plant at low capacity factor, the cost per unit of energy produced increases inversely, just because these fixed costs are being spread over less output.

Nuclear either makes sense for baseload or it doesn't make sense at all. Trying to retreat to an application for which it isn't suited, like covering for intermittent renewables, is a losing game. There are any number of alternatives that would be much cheaper.
Again, the demand curve is the opposite of what you claim: peak production happens during the night, at around 9 pm, not during the day. You'd need to supply more energy during periods of non-production, not less. You can't get away with 50% output at night, unless you have some other energy source picking up the slack. And remember, during the winter you're getting less than 12 hours of sunlight, maybe even less than that if you consider that cloud cover eliminates 75-90% of solar power output.

These factors do depend on geography. Hotter climates do see more energy use during the day to power A/C. But on the flip side, colder climates see even more energy demand during the night to heat homes. And unfortunately this also coincides when solar is producing the least amount of energy due to fewer sunlight hours, axial tilt, and more cloud cover.

There are niches solar can carve out: Las Vegas and Australia have loads of empty space, clear weather, and hydroelectricity that can fill in periods of non-production. But nuclear power is a much more flexible solution. All you really need is water to cool the reactor, and 80% of the population lives within a hundred miles of the coastline (you just need water, not fresh water).
Yeah, I mean whatever you find helpful, power to you.
> For me I strongly believe it is other alkaloids in coffee and similar plant products which I’m particularly sensitive to.

This does seem to match my experience. Yerba mate doesn't produce the same reaction in me as coffee, despite having more caffeine (and no L-theanine, which could be a confounding factor when comparing with tea).
Reddit has been wrong.
You've missed the point. More than "slight" scrutiny is clearly required!
A plastics injection molding mechanical designer in China told me rotational blades are the hands down most irritating thing to try to injection mold because conventional tolerance factors that are very well suited to the production of most other products will often result in imbalance, noise, vibration, wear and failure in rapidly rotating bodies.

Weed is stronger and more available now than ever. I've seen people get constipated, get night terrors, cold sweats, etc. from marijuana withdrawals. So I think GP is right, it's left to be seen.

> the applications of these sort of reasoning atomic configurations I think are unlimited

They are limited to applications in which the latency slo is O(seconds), knowledge of 2021-present doesn’t matter, and you’re allowed to make things up when you don’t know the answer.

There are, to be fair, many such applications. But it’s not unlimited.
I've been playing with Khoj for the past day - it's really neat, well done!

A few observations:

1. Telemetry is enabled by default, and may contain the API and chat queries. I've logged an issue for this along with some suggestions here: https://github.com/khoj-ai/khoj/issues/389

2. It would be advantageous to have configuration in the UI rather than baking it's YAML into the container image. (added a note on that in the aforementioned issue on Github).

3. It's not clear if you can bring your own models, e.g. can I configure a model from huggingface/gpt4all? if so, will it be automatically downloaded based on the name or should I put the .bin (and yaml?) in a volume somewhere?

4. AMD GPU/APU acceleration (CLBLAS) would be really nice, I've logged an issue for this feature request as well. https://github.com/khoj-ai/khoj/issues/390
> If caffeine was illegal you and I wouldn't have acquired such addiction, so there is a very big + to prohibition

This hypothetical is not in evidence.
severe withdrawal complicates the early stages of recovery and probably makes a relapse more impactful (just what I've observed; I'm not a doctor). but in general I agree, the distinction does not matter much within the context of addiction. detoxing is not the hardest part of recovery for most addicts. the hard part is usually "what to do instead" for the next n decades.

there is a useful distinction to be made between what I would call "addiction" and "dependence" though. this is why I included the example of PM patients in my initial comment. just like addicts, these people build tolerance and would experience severe withdrawal if their supply were abruptly cut off. the difference is that these people are (mostly, pill mills are a thing) not chasing a high for its own sake. their lives are actually improved by consuming opioids, and they would be just fine with an equally effective substitute.

to be clear, I am not implying PM patients are morally superior to opioid addicts in some way. the distinction is that addiction is intrinsically damaging to a person's quality of life. dependence is merely a tradeoff that may or may not be worth it.
I did the exact same thing you did, except with cold brew concentrate, when I wanted to quit caffeine one time (in preparation for a dental surgery, where I decided I would rather not be taking caffeine while recovering). Would recommend for anyone who is trying to 'kick the habit'.
Neat! I'll have to revisit it again with an eye towards what you just told me.
I love my dog and plan on not eating her. But I can't think of a convincing reason why it would be more or less ethical than eating a pig or a cow.
When I was a kid this thing was legendary, most people had never heard of it and most of those who had thought it was a hoax. An engine with one moving part...

The only place that had actual information on it was an obscure service that advertised in the classified ads section in the back of Popular Science, Rex Research: http://www.rexresearch.com/1index.htm

It's wild to see videos about it today.

(Also, check Rex Research for other cool obscure tech. Much of it is crackpot, of course, but some of it is not. E.g. the vaneless ion wind generator, a wind-to-electricity generator with no moving parts.

Well, modern gangs realized that if they don't go around shooting white people nobody seems to mind them much, so I don't think the 1930s gangs will reappear, modern gangs will just also deal in alcohol.

Nah, I know, the iron is in WA, iirc the main coal mines are in Queensland and some in NSW. The main point was the comment that coal isn't BHP's business, when they've gotta be the largest coal miner in Australia.
I wonder about that - surely there must be a decent number of shoppers who'd prefer to buy products where you could reuse containers, for a start. Recycling perfectly good glass, metal or even plastic containers always feels terribly wasteful to me. And it has to be economically more efficient, so it should be possible to sell the product a lower cost.
The comments thing can be annoying. When an answer isn't really clear, becomes outdated, or anything else, there's no way to follow-up

> Why is doing things differently from your preference "coping"?

It's not.

> There are good alternatives to Tailwind

Yes, just write the CSS. If you are going to use Tailwind, just write CSS. If you are going to use Bootstrap or any of those sorts of resources the equation is different. You're no longer writing CSS in a class attribute but pretending it's a style tag and that you're somehow doing things "better". You're just writing CSS without writing CSS.

Computer Science degrees depend on the university and department offering. I can safely say my university's program (a liberal arts school with no engineering department) was on the easier side. I generally had good grades without breaking a sweat, few hard math classes, and had ample time to learn to code practically on my own.

Actually, Minnesota's weed legalization law might face a special session because there's concern that the law doesn't add penalties for those who sell to minors. At this point, all anyone could be charged with is a petty misdemeanor, which- like many other crimes in the state- may go uncharged.

> or risk

That really casts doubt on your assertions. Nuclear carries significantly fewer risks than coal (which operates in the nuclear failure state all the time).
People are naturally allowed to invest in what ever technology they think will fit the role best, such as green hydrogen. No one is investing in that, there exist no hydrogen-burning turbines that burn green hydrogen, but someone could become the first and do that.

Producers of green hydrogen are currently more interested in delivering green steel, which pays much better than hydrogen-burning turbines. The general idea is that this will in the future reduce prices down to energy grid levels, and a researcher here in Sweden working on such project estimated prices to drop to those levels around ~2060-2080.

This could happen much earlier if prices continue to increase as they do, but who knows. It would make for a good A/B testing to produce both and see which one was the cheaper option, and if the green hydrogen power plant fail they can always just produce more hydrogen for steel production.

The two biggest 'pot heads' I know both had a severe illness from smoking weed and both of them refuse to acknowledge it's the weed doing it. It's a debilitating condition, they vomit all day, go into shock and have to get thrown into hot showers regularly to ease the pain. I'm sure it's not as common as alcoholism but good god, it doesn't look fun.

you might have noticed something a bit disconcerting. If you log into Reddit with the Redesign Opted Out, as I've discovered, the platform will actually opt you back in, automatically. It's not just a technical hiccup or a bug that's slipped under the radar. This, it seems, is a deliberate dark pattern.
The institutional cost is more AFAIK, but should still be pocket change -- one productive week pays for it. But the price is just high enough to trigger all sorts of weird management wastes. Especially if you envision wanting more than one installation, or are in an austerity-culture organization.

It's tragically hilarious to me that the car brain imagination can only consider moving a multi tonne large dangerous vehicle around in order to simply ease the discomfort of the small bag of groceries.

The societal damage and consequences of having people becoming lazy on their couch after smoking weed is largely underestimated.

This is the real risk with cannabis.

"Randy: Well, Stan, the truth is marijuana probably isn't gonna make you kill people, and it most likely isn't gonna fund terrorism, but… well, son, pot makes you feel fine with being bored. And it's when you're bored that you should be learning some new skill or discovering some new science or being creative. If you smoke pot you may grow up to find out that you aren't good at anything."

In real life you have corruption and abuse in every country that the respective legal systems simply refuses to investigate or go after. There is little chance to fix a corrupt and inefficient legal system, so at least we have the press to inform the population. In many places not even the established press, instead whistle blowers and citizen journalists. In some places not even that.

Not to speak of that the courts take their merry time, so a corrupt politician can be reelected before anybody knows of his or her dealings - if it wasn't for the free press.

Math.se gets 1/10th the questions per day and 1/100th the visits per day of Stack Overflow. ( https://stackexchange.com/sites#questionsperday )

It is able to handle the wider scope more easily. The fewer questions per day and the more people there to help guide a not-quite-right question to become more useful the more that variation in scope can be handled.

Stack Overflow has the difficulty that as they scaled up in activity, the number of people willing to spend the time to curate and the corresponding tooling didn't scale with it. This resulted in a reduction of time that can be spent on a question to help it be a good question and so people do the least friction fastest action as they can.

If, for every person in https://math.stackexchange.com/review/close/stats you got 10 people to show up in https://stackoverflow.com/review/close/stats it might be feasible to have a more similar level of topic deviation. Note that Math, a small fraction of the size of Stack Overflow has done as many close vote reviews today as Stack Overflow.
It's telling that both people recommending this method have seen it fail multiple times, and are somehow rebranding those failures as successes. Every time you quit again "successfully" was because the previous attempt failed.

The US alone has 800GWh of battery plants in the pipeline, to come online before 2026.[1] China has multiple TWh's worth. We can build 35TWh or even 350TWh of batteries a lot faster and than we can build the multiple TW of nuclear plants that would be necessary to decarbonize electricity without storage.

> The reality is that peak energy demand happens at night

Peak net energy demand happens at night. Peak gross demand is during the day.

> Eland can do this demand shift because other producers are picking up the slack.

Eland is producing at a rate identical to the California demand curve, it's in their contract. It's the solar producers who don't have solar along with consumer rooftop solar that's causing the duck curve daytime demand drop.

> If I have a plant that produces 1,000 MW during the date and 100=MW at night, that's technically 24 hours of production. But clearly this is not the same thing as a nuclear plant that produces 1000 MW at all hours.

But the former costs 1/10th of the latter, so you build 10 of them to get 1000MW at night and 10000MW during the day.
I am sorry that details escape my memory at this point, but I have seen a couple instances recently where journalists tried to archive news stories and were served a response that someone has barred articles from this site from being archived.
