MAJOR impact.

People are only aware of what they can put hands on in their locale.

It's basically the one thing I hope Amazon gets their way on (they're one of the bigger lobbyists for legalization).
I find that I have to use a lot more butter in cast iron. I love the skillet, though, it's fantastic.
You can just slap a resistor in series, which will induce a drop in potential over it. That, in turn, will mean the potential difference across the capacitor is lower, leading to a more shallow exponential decay of the current over the circuit - ie a slower discharge.

And that's just a passive circuit, with an active circuit you have a lot more options.

Note: I studied maths and computing so I could very well be wrong. I would appreciate being set straight by elec eng majors!
It took 80 years to go from a crude prototype at Bell Labs to Apple announcing the M1. We just need to know it’s possible. The rest will follow.
Because there has literally only been 2-3 weekdays since the LK-99 revelation.

Do you expect American and European scientists to work during weekends?
I use it to speed up NEAT-Python for simulations
How about make `https://www.cloudflare.com/.well-known/warrant-canary.txt`, and use a Cloudflare Worker with a Cron Trigger to trigger an email to legal if it's approaching expiry?
> Reliance on Apps to intermediate everything is bullshit in my opinion. Plus I personally specifically don't want to share my location with some app written by people I've never met who are 100% likely to either misuse it themselves or to sell it to someone who will.

Have you tried taking a taxi in a country where you didn’t know the language?
> Why is it better to collect data than just have the user cat some logs somewhere and post them?

Those logs are collected data. I'm arguing for those logs to exist.

> After the recent debacle(s) with the rust foundation

This has nothing to do with the foundation. I have nothing to do with the foundation.

> I am almost certain a "local only" telemetry

"Local-only telemetry" is an oxymoron.
I disagree that the implementation is terrible. Having seen several interviews on the matter I think its implemented exactly as the people of Portland wanted it. The major outstanding problem is a lot of the homeless people on drugs need someone to genuinely be there for them and care about them. That's the primary message you will hear from them if you care to listen to their stories on The Soft White Underbelly. It seems that you can't possibly spend enough money to make that happen at a policy level. There were horrible abuses in the institutions where it was tried here historically.
I've listened to so so many audiobooks while running. It's amazing.
You can certainly watch a tv show/youtube while running on a treadmill or an listening to an audiobook while running outside. I listen to a book a week running about 40ish miles per week.
The amount of rest people need is going to vary dramatically based on fitness, genetics, amount of exercise, etc.

I try to run 5 days a week (6 miles per day) and then have an active weekend (usually hiking/backpacking.) I find that is a sustainable amount of exercise for my body. I'll occasionally do longer runs or bigger backpacking trips and take a day or two off here and there when I feel I need it.
Maybe I came across as accusative, but I'm genuinely curious. Do you have 1Tb text files or this is some kind of media management for video production, something like that?
ok but 3% when you're talking about MWs or GWs of power is still a lot of wasted energy.
Futuristic concrete could transform roads and homes into giant batteries
I don't think the argument "Compilers are tools. They can reliably vectorize code if it is written in an amenable-to-vectorization form." is proved correct here. I think I'll stay at level 2.

In my experience relying on auto-vectorization is brittle:

- Even if the compiler should be able to auto-vectorize code written in an amenable-to-vectorization form, that doesn't mean it will. Maybe the particular compiler and version you're using does auto-vectorize, but that doesn't mean other compilers will. This might be a less of a problem in Rust, where you effectively have only compiler (although there are still compiler updates).

- Even if you managed to once write the code in an amenable-to-vectorization form, that doesn't mean that the code will stay that way forever. Code tends to change.

- Sometimes it's far less obvious what the amenable-to-vectorization form should look like, or what the reasons are for the compiler failing to auto-vectorize. The classic example is the compiler failing to auto-vectorize a floating point sum, since the order in which floating point numbers are added affects the result.
> I guess my strong opinion is that Snowflake is massively overrated and it will perform worse and cost you more than you expect.

Are there specific use cases or experiences that prompt you to say this? I've seen a lot of examples (such as web analytics or SEIM) where teams have built very capable stacks on ClickHouse or similar analytic databases. Basically if you have a focused use case it's often possible to built a custom stack with open source on Kubernetes that outperforms Snowflake along axes like p95 response, cost-efficiency at scale, and data ownership. It would be interesting to hear more about your experience.
> To the contrary, tons of people will be doing that.

Yeah, until they get their car back and there's puke in the backseat, which requires more than a basic cleaning to get the smell out (Yes, uber charges a fee for puking, but no it doesn't cover a proper detailing that'll get the smell out). Or they find a bunch of little dings on their car from slamming the door into an unretracted seat belt. There's also the vegan pleather that'll rapidly start to deteriorate from passenger traffic that's 20x more than intended etc.

Some may still do it of course, but I don't believe most will want to destroy their car's value from the depreciation that uber will cause.
Taking their best guess is fine. Or just taking the top three comments that don't seem ridiculous.

In this case the top comment on /r/whatisthisthing is "Looks to be a perfect match for India’s PSLV third stage." with comparison photos, the second-top comment is "Looks like a fuel tank for a rocket of some type.", and the third-top comment is "looks very similar to the Delta IV heavy fuel tank".

It's a nice plausible answer and about as straightforward a question you can get for asking an expert.
Another important aspect not brought up is the semantics of the programming language itself. FORTRAN doesn't have memory aliasing (at least in arrays -- it's been a while since I wrote any FORTRAN code) so the compiler can make assumptions (and from them optimizations) that it cannot in, say, C or C++.

The author points out the "myopic" nature of compilation, implying that a more global view of the code might allow the compiler to prove that no aliasing happens in a particular code path. I think that problem is Turing complete.
But I certainly agree that Aces High 3 is magnificent on Micro$oft Windows.
I do the same sometimes with either alt-tab switching, and when I need a lot of things open, virtual deskdops. The latter is epecially handy if the apps are complex programs like Photoshop with a bunch of dockable palettes.
With what efficiency? >50% of energy returned?
Priority delivery fee is a scam on all services. If your order is sitting a while, it's generally because the $ to mile ratio is too low. A $2/mi order is considered a base line for most drivers. Orders will start with a low base pay of $2-$2.75 + tip. If drivers keep declining to pick up your order, it'll get batched with another order. Priority delivery fee goes to the delivery service, so you might as well put that towards the tip instead to get it picked up faster by a driver.
In addition to the rules being applied fairly indiscriminately, "past" is doing some pretty heaving lifting here. Last I knew six months was the most recent it could have been used if you were extremely lucky/valuable.
You're joking but to be honest the reason I'm most excited at the moment about this discovery is because of desk toys.
The way I would calculate excitement is usefulness / time to market and the respective graph of a superconductor application (at least in my monkey brain) peaks at desk toys since they would come first.
I disagree, there is nothing that quite gets my heartrate up as much as running. I had been doing very low intensity cycling and walking for two years and decided it was about time to get back to being able to run 5k without stopping. Adding the running in had a very quick effect on my day to day experience. I think the people that advocate for 80-20 low intensity / high intensity have it right.
Danish and German media has covered it by interviewing local scientists who are all calling it bullshit.
I recently converted a cheap consumer toaster oven and a hot-plate to PID controllers- I wouldn't expect their thermostats to work at all.
In both of them, the adjustable bimetalic switch that controls temperature either at the surface of hot plate or inside the oven... is located right next to the switch itself- quite far removed from the temperature it is supposed to control.

It also means that the actuation temperature varies with room temperature and airflow in the room.
If there was a measure for success that was agreed upon, for a region, the probability of success would then be lowered to "untenably low". That isn't the case, when data collection is performed.
Unfortunately, many people are unrealistic.

People in general demand quick, simple, easy and singular solutions to complex problems that cover massive ranges of financial, geographical, political, cultural, and individual variances with no tolerance, and they honestly believe they are being fair and reasonable when they do so.

Example:

Idea: "New houses could have cheap batteries built into their foundations, cheaply decreasing the load on the electrical grid and providing a backup source to cover temporary power outages."

Response: "Well, that's not going to completely solve the energy crisis, restore CO2 to pre-industrial revolution levels and avert the polar ice caps from melting, so what's the point?"

And they think that this response is rational.
I misread it, it’s just cating a text file. Thanks.
(throwaway because ...reasons)

disclaimer: this is just my experience, your mileage might vary and I don't want to seem insensitive to people having a hard time quitting, just share my experience.

I've smoked mj for about 20 years and in the past year I stoped once for four months, restarted, and now again, since April.

I still think about it sometimes but I don't plan on resuming anytime soon. The hardest part for me is that I now dream at night and I really don't enjoy it. Looking back, I had moments when I was a bit "slow" and a bit distracted. On the other hand, now I'm a bit too tensed and get easily irritated by stuff that previously didn't bother me.

My 2 cents: you should try and quit, if you can. If you think you can't, maybe try asking for help. If you don't want to quit, don't quit.

ps. I'm just a nobody, on the internet, use your best judgement :)
Capacitors do have a different discharge curve than batteries and this requires more sophisticated power management electronics but nothing too difficult. You basically need a power supply/regulator that can start with much less than rated input current and increase current draw as voltage drops to deliver a constant power output.
There's a link at the bottom labelled "Wikipedia Signpost RSS feed", I haven't double checked it but I suspect that's what you want.
This still doesn’t make sense
Reinforcement Learning from AI Feedback
Ah, another example of how something is so easy when you just imagine other people doing it.

Your aspiration, I suppose, is that this (e.g., surveillance?) video will document the experimental activities in enough detail so that they can be replicated and/or convincingly proven. As a practical matter, it's ludicrous to think that any of the examples that you suggest as obvious and trivial would do either of these things much less survive a cursory consideration of their cost/benefit. Maybe you should prototype your system using a Nest camera in the corner of a lab and demonstrate reading the label on a critical reagent from the video.

Further, this is a classic example of premature optimization. Should only labs that are confident that they will be contesting for a Nobel prize be monitoring all their experiments or do you also envision this as an activity for labs with lesser aspirations or self-esteem?
I do not have data, but did Portugal deal with fentanyl? And why did Portugal slash funding for treatment?
Because until more scientists can replicate this the news is little more substantial than the typical post on /r/futurology on any given day.
Araq has mentioned he'll create a new edition of the book for Nim 2.0, and publish it as an e-book, see https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/10366
I also tried a taxi riding home from SFO recently. I did not encounter any shenanigans - the taxi was in good shape, took me right home, and would accept card - but it was significantly more expensive than a rideshare! Even without traffic.
everything so far looks to me like improvements on the pocket calculator, bearing in mind that an order of magnitude difference in scale really still is a difference of kind, they're still orders of magnitude improvements on pocket calculators (which admittedly is something of a different kind). There's a very important particular kind of human intelligence that machines can't seem to do at all, like Einstein discovering general relativity or Fleming discovering antibotics...which sounds like I'm cherry-picking human intelligence at its best, but I'm really pointing out a kind of information synthesis on the basis of reacting to unexpected information.

I have trouble articulating it, but I can see that LLMs and chess engines don't do the slightest hint of it.

I'll be concerned when machines show the slightest hint of it, but we're playing a ball game in a sphere they can't even touch yet.

I'm genuinely continually boggled that people are not seeing this difference and feeling threatened by machine "intelligence", although they are encroaching on something thought uniquely human, and I don't think the brain is doing some kind of information processing that can't be done in any other medium, but the number of connections and kind of processing in the human brain may make it hard with current technology. The number of connections in the brain is staggering, and we certainly can't simulate anything of its scale on the scale of computer we have now, so I don't know what it will take to get any bootstrap on the kind of intelligence computers aren't doing.
I also blogged about my motivations for writing Release Train here: https://willabides.com/posts/release-train-continuous-releas...
I'm not looking at official numbers here, but in my field (academic biotech research) I still don't see much innovation coming out of China.

All of what you say is true, yet in academic research China is still far behind the USA in nearly every field. They haven't yet been able to build institutions with the staff, structure, and culture needed. That will likely change in time, but at present the best Chinese scientists are still coming to the USA to work, and staying here. Despite the USA having a lot more research output, a substantial fraction of the top scientists in the USA are from China.

My Chinese colleagues tell me that the bureaucracy and authoritarianism in Chinese institutions puts a lot of hurdles in place when trying to do research. Simply buying equipment, hiring staff, etc. is a nightmare, and results in "evaporative cooling" where the top researchers with the option to work anywhere don't tolerate this and leave.

Edit: I will also add that in some sense US academia is supported by overcharging Chinese students for tuition. If and when Chinese institutions get to the point where the best students want to stay there, there will be a huge crisis in US universities, possibly being unable to support tenured staff.
Work as a double agent then: make the FSB think they got you and feed them false information. Your own service obviously has to keep a no-drugs policy front to make your situation more legit.

On a related note, folks who found this interesting might also like to read “There’s plenty of room at the top” where computer scientists showed how orders of magnitude performance is left unused when a naive high-level implementation is not optimized for the hardware (combination of coding style and compiler insufficiency).

Much broader in scope than OP, that also has many insightful nuggets there about how to think about software and system design, especially in the post Moore’s law era.
First, let’s not call this a subsidy. It is not; it is a tax expenditure. A subsidy intends to increase the supply of a good, and I doubt “millionaires” qualifies as a good so we will set that word aside.

401k capital gains are taxed. That’s one expenditure.

The other expenditure is that the contributions aren’t taxed at the taxpayer’s marginal rate at the time of contribution, they are taxed at the taxpayer’s (presumably lower) marginal rate when he is retired.

The total tax expenditure is the sum of the cap gains not collected plus the difference in income tax collected, plus the time value of money to cover the delay between tax free deposit and taxed withdrawal, adjusted by some externality such as the tax revenue from alternate saving methodologies.

So yes, eventually, the fisc will see its tax revenue. The only problem is that the revenue will be diminished by the delta in marginal rates, the missing cap gains, and delayed by half the average length of a taxpayer’s career.

Dude sometimes scientific progress really does happen, and it's messy when it's happening live, and people get excited about it because they really do find science inherently exciting.

I've got no clue what you're trying to imply. Most things aren't an internet conspiracy. Skepticism is warranted, and the claims about LK-99 are far from proven. But there's 100s of thousands of researchers out there in the real world, doing research and publishing papers, and that really is what's happening here.
I refuse to believe that not cheating people by default, and not expecting others to cheat me by default, is synonymous with acting "more like machines than people". What a cynical, depressing world view.
