You have to be 21 to buy weed as well, I'm not really sure what you mean. I agree that consumption is up, that's the price you pay for not arresting people (and distracting police who could be doing anything else).

I don't know the details of who was imprisoned in NYC, but I do know they were still making tons and tons of arrests for minor consumption and possession charges just a few years ago, and when you get arrested you might lose your job, fail background checks for the next 7 years, not make rent because you couldn't work while you were dealing with the court, have to pay bail and a lawyer, etc. etc. The consequences can be very bad. I don't understand how you can add meaningful friction (beyond strict regulations that are already in place in every legalized state) without threatening very severe and harmful consequences.

> still enabling folks to consume or sell a small amount as long as they were discrete

This was never true for everyone. NYC police arrested tens of thousands every year before legalization for minor marijuana possession. If what you're saying were true, how could it be effective friction? Who would care if nobody ever gets arrested for small amounts?
> I'd bet that there are absolutely zero carried-in-tanks-on-rockets toxins which are barnacle-friendly.

Plenty of rockets have used hydrogen as a fuel, and most rockets carry tanks of oxygen. These would be gone just about as soon as a hole appears in the tank, but the traces would probably be considered barnacle friendly.
How many days have scientists been working on this? Like 2, not including the weekend? I'm impressed that results and papers are already starting to come out.
I speak Mandarin and a bit of French. For other languages, I saw some of them have outdated translations of the rails guide. And for some of them, I saw there are Ruby conferences will be held in those countries.

it takes about 4-5 hours to add another language. Ok, I'll try to add Spanish this week :) thanks for commenting
I like this, but I don't see an easy way to use it as a library. For example, I'd like to add it to showdown as a plugin, but the API seems too low level for that, at first glance.
All I really want is the ability to have inverted scrolling on the track pad and have normal scrolling when I use a mouse wheel. For some reason MacOS doesn't support doing these even though it supports things like remapping certain keys on USB keyboards only.
Very interesting! Thank you.

I’ll try to explain something I’m thinking, it comes down to a type of agglutination.

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

The ASTs need to become sequences of tokens for LLMs to work well. Also the embedding space is related, this should all be specifically optimized for code, not based on general human language .

Of course the description of the code would be english. But my point is that a subspace of the encoding should be specifically designed for an agglutination based sequential expression of ASTs.

Not sure any of that makes sense to someone with more expertise in this space than me.
Hydrogen combustion CC plants will certainly have a capital cost less than coal fired plants. They will be almost identical to natural gas fired CC plants (just the combustor will be different). These are known to be quite inexpensive, costing maybe $1/W.

There need not be any fuel pipeline, since the plant can be built at the hydrogen storage site. The electrolysers will be there also.

There have been industrial turbines that burn hydrogen for decades. It's not some sort of exotic technology.

Yes, there are many parts here. And it's still cheaper than nuclear. Nuclear is pathetic in that way.
It does not think about anything. It continues previous conversation. If the previous conversation would imply positive sight on eugenics, it'll write good arguments for it. Otherwise it'll write good arguments against it. There's whole spectrum of opinions on every question in the written literature. And if there's not, it's easy to create opinion using some similar analogues. So Chat will basically write whatever you want to hear.
I looked at WPF a few users ago and my impression was, I could spend 2 hours doing something I could easily do in the browser in 15 minutes. Maybe it's not that bad once you get the hang of it, but it looked so arduous I immediately decided I didn't have the will to go farther.
What percent of coal miners do you think could make that transition?
When you're claiming you have a room temperature superconductor, it would be more suspicious if you weren't claiming that. Because if LK99 works, then that's exactly what it is. It'll be material of the century.
This paper is by someone from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, who has run some simulations of LK99 and found features that are associated with high temperature superconductors.

In the last paragraph before acknowledgements, they point to a feature that could make synthesis difficult, then conclude with "Nevertheless, I expect the identification of this
new material class to spur on further investigations of
doped apatite minerals given these tantalizing theoretical
signatures and experimental reports of possible high-TC
superconductivity."

(I'm a high school dropout, worked for a physics project once)
There's no systematic evaluation yet which is the next step. It's successfully bootstrapping itself which is a fairly high bar, but quantitative performance measurements are getting more and more important as the project progresses.

I know a company who does that using speech recognition (Nabla), but no physicians I have met had a scribe, only observing / learning residents (« internes » here).
Outside of consultations my dad records itself and sends it to its secretary.

On a side note I wish there was a way to communicate with (good) physicians asynchronously (via text for exemple) for non trivial issues, or something that allows them the time to research and think about an issue, which you don’t have the time during a consultation, without waiting months before the next appointment. Some try to get up to knowledge and read in front of me but, it doesn’t takes them more than 1 mn so they often have a shallow understanding. I’ve also met terrible ones who where annoyed that I knew more about the subject than they did and discouraged me from doing my own research (even from cochrane and serious meta-analysis), but I guess it is more a problem of the hubris of some french doctors than a process one (accordingly most of my issues stems from the fact that it is difficult to reliability avoid ignorants, that doesn’t care, or arrogant physicians that I could book, more than any other issues including software).
We have paid to license captains. It is a shortage and a business decision and a government decision. USCG Subchapter M increased demand for captains while we are producing fewer humans overall.
What exactly do you find unconvincing? Just comparing grid storage needs vs EV’s suggests battery production capacity isn’t going to be an issue so it simplifies to cost across say 20+ years.

There’s a lot of very simplistic analysis that makes things seem vastly worse but you don’t need crazy assumptions for things to look reasonable. Basically the more sources of energy you can add to the mix the cheaper things become as you only include them when you save money. Thus if you ignore Wind in an estimate adding wind can only lower costs, ditto for nuclear, geothermal, etc.

Hydro is reliable and better than continuous power because it’s flexible enough you can fill in gaps based on what you forecast production will be across the next week. US only gets 6.2% of its power from hydro so the rest of the world actually looks better than these numbers.

How much Solar to build is part of a complex optimization problem, simplify it 2c/kWh of capacity but 1/2 of all solar power is wasted over a year ~= 4c/kWh. Further, let’s assume 1/2 of all solar is used directly with the rest available to charge daily batteries again pessimistic with that kind of oversupply and HVDC lines etc but whatever. 50% - 5% (hydro) = 45% of total demand from batteries. (Wind drops this by a lot.)

Projecting LCOE for batteries and Battery degradation is closely correlated with use so 120$/MWh is again high long term.

Now our worst case is something like 4c/kWh (solar/hydro) + 12c/kWh (batteries) * 45% = 9.4c/kWh for 24/7/365 power with zero fossil fuels and zero nuclear. On the surface that might seem terrible or awesome depending on what your local rates look like, but this was a very pessimistic estimate.

Our pro nuclear investor needs to be pessimistic in the other direction. Remember demand is shifted to cheaper nighttime rates, if daytime electricity is cheaper then nighttime use drops further. Baseline numbers of say 4c/kWh production + 80$/MWh batteries * 30% = 6.4c/kWh 24/7/365. If you’re considering building nuclear and projecting 60+ years out those kind of numbers represent a real threat without any dramatic breakthroughs.

PS: You can plug your own assumptions in here, but remember people are trying to minimize costs and we already have existing infrastructure that isn’t being replaced that quickly. I doubt we’ll average under 20% natural gas within 20 years due to flexibility, which dramatically reduces the need for batteries and excess solar. That sounds bad, but mix in significant EV adoption and it still becomes a vast reduction in CO2 emissions, while even lower costs discourage Nuclear.
Adding to this it also seems like such a small thing to do in the grand scheme of things. Let's say not microwaving your food in plastic removes 10% of your yearly consumption of plastic. That's extremely generous. You still have to contend with nearly everything else you eat, drink, swim in, bathe with, and breathe. Hell, the most amazing thing is somehow even butcher meat has microplastics in it from the processing plant!

At this point it's unavoidable. But if we're going to fix it there are probably much larger fish to fry here. Of course you should not microwave stuff in plastic anyway just like you shouldnt use a metal utensil on a teflon pan. But these articles are always written like it's One Weird Trick (TM) when the problem is actually everything else.
Thirded. As a writer, I'm currently using Aeon Timeline (https://timeline.app/) to track fictional timelines. It does a nice job of handling and displaying the data but it's fairly complex and not Markdown. An Obsidian plugin would be super useful in getting my workflow 100% Markdown.
I fully agree that the traditional journal and academic publishing models are having significant negative impact on the conduct of science. I also really like that the Arxiv, open access publishing, open peer review, live science and similar new models represent a refreshing return to less gatekeeping, politics and institutional gamesmanship.

Based on the early successes shown by applying social media platforms like Twitter, Twitch, Discord, etc, to accelerating science, I hope we can evolve better tools and platforms which are equally open but even more suited to the exchange of scientific ideas, results, review and feedback.
It's really on-brand for Microsoft Windows APIs. They're all about making you fill out a giant tax form of a struct and passing the OS a callback. It's kind of a house style that Microsoft adopted back in the Windows 3.x or before days and it stuck.

My favorite is the Dir() function in Visual Basic which is used for directory walking. Only it's non-reentrant, so you can't walk subdirectories with it! Near as I can tell it's traceable back to DIR$ in GW-BASIC, which in turn was an exposure of DOS's broken, non-reentrant GetDirectoryEntry and NextDirectoryEntry system calls! DOS will just never die!

Rust had include_bytes! from Rust 1.0, include_bytes! is philosophically the same thing, given a filename, it gives you an immutable reference which lives as long as your program, to an array of bytes from the file -- &'static [u8; N]
By the looks of it, to me this is just the once in 5 years rumor cycle. The authors have been working on it for a long time and have been rejected by Nature. Other co-authors have said they weren't consulted before uploading the paper. The author who uploaded had to give a talk, and for whatever reason uploaded it on Arxiv before uploading, and didn't expect it would blow up like it has.
For official confirmation of room temp superconductor, I would rather go with a big publishing journal group organising a press conference before paying any attention.
Brute forcing the space of all chemicals isn't practical, so just do what humans do, generate plausible candidates with a neural net and then check with DFT.

The patent system in its current form isn't going to survive the next few decades, on this I agree. First step is probably going to be chopping down the patent length from its current 15 year term.
If your argument there was correct, people would be building ginormous nuclear plants and not focusing on SMRs.

But many components of a nuclear plant have size that scales with power. There are some economies of scale, but they're fairly marginal. It's mostly to amortize fixed operating costs (like personnel) over more output.
Since there seems to be a misunderstanding:

Not a great answer but we are open-source so forking us is an option.
That's not going to happen. Our finial system depends on centralization (not that I agree with that) and if your talking about crypto that's just another level of control we can't quite see yet.
Depends on the job and the ergonomics involved but in general: posture. Most people just have really bad posture in general. Even while standing or sitting.

There are proper postures to do a lot of activities and they are frequently not observed. Maintaining proper posture is a skill that must be trained until you don't have to think about it. Even something "mindlessly simple" like lifting a heavy object off the ground and carrying it somewhere requires proper posture and technique to reduce chance of injuries. Reduce, not eliminate. You can do everything right and still get injured.

When lifting things off the ground, most people will flex and extend the torso instead of using their much stronger leg muscles. The better form is to squat down by flexing the thighs, pick up the object then lift it up by extending the thighs, all while maintaining the spine aligned.

Physical education and conditioning is important in these jobs. In our every day lives.
That was a nice introduction to the concept of induction: the idea that patterns observed in our past experience will hold in the future.

Since we're talking about induction as the basis of science, I'm surprised the concept of "falsification" wasn't mentioned, which has been the "workhorse" of most science during the past two hundred years. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiability

Specifically in the context of classical statistics methods (frequentist statistics), the idea of using p-values for scientific discovery only makes sense as part of repeated studies (induction over multiple tests of a theory). It's easy for any one study to observe some pattern by chance (one black raven), but if repeated studies all show this pattern exists, then we kind of start to believe the pattern might be true.

Bayesian statisticians don't use the falsification paradigm directly, but instead focus on estimation, and combining the evidence from multiple experiments to obtain "tighter bounds" on the estimated quantities of interest. The conceptual machinery is very different, but the idea of induction is still kind of present in the form of "more data reduces uncertainty".
Interesting. I've been looking for something like this.

I use OneNote now but the web version (I'm on FreeBSD) is just such a horrible piece of crap, it's unworkable. Every day it has to reload everything because something timed out, I can only search in one folder at the same time.. it's definitely the weakest point of office 365.
Amazon is giving all of your personal information to courier companies
This one is wild. I ordered some medication from Amazon as I usually do. The medication gets dropped off this afternoon around 3PM. At around 7PM the driver from this morning (Intelcom) sends me a text, asking to give him a 5 star review. Amazon is giving complete customer profiles to third party courier companies and is denying it on the phone and in writing.

"Hi this is your Intelcom driverYour package was delivered today by me. If you liked my service please give me a 5 star rating in your emails from "Intelcom". It will mean a lot to me! Have a good one :)"

Finally, I've connected with a "supervisor", who is saying that drivers texting from personal lines after hours is totally normal, and that they're not permitted to use their cell phone while driving as it's a safety concern.

Anyway, I'm now more upset about it than I should be because I've wasted 2 hours already with Amazon on this.
As far as I'm concerned the only easy UI is a declarative reactive UI. Vue and to a degree Flutter make everything look hard

How can you be so sure it was marijuana that caused the symptoms? It's easy to point to on single variable when issues like you mention can be heavily multivariable. Did you have any dietary changes? How's your sleep? Were you ever infected with Covid-19 to your knowledge? Stress levels? Exercise levels?

I am not trying to discount your experiences or anything. You know yourself far better than I know you.

The only reason I even writing this comment is because I have had similar times in my life where I had more cognitive issues than I already do on a daily basis. Even these past two years, I have felt like I have been in a complete mental haze -- I was slow at work, everything required insane amounts of energy and effort to complete, I had issues concentrating, recalling words, etc..

Surely, I thought my issue was Cannabis too. I can say with great confidence that it was not the issue, since I am doing significantly better and my Cannabis usage hasn't changed significantly.

Want to know what my issue was all along? I was apparently depressed and burned out as all Hell. My depression has seemed to spontaneously resolve itself -- like it always eventually does. Now, I feel like I am getting a second chance in life.

> You want fancy type systems, you know where to find them. Don't ask for them here, we don't want them.

But the problem here is caused by the type system being overly aggressive. If it wasn't trying to force the wrong type onto unused code, everything would work fine.
That's a simplistic view on this. Explain this with "continues a conversation".

https://twitter.com/maxhkw/status/1635693113560772633

Humans start by continuing conversations as well, but then are able to process facts to deduct new, previously unseen conclusions (sometimes wrong), and so do LLMs.
> articles like this almost definitely increase the stress and anxiety on parents completely out of proportion of the actual level of risk

How can you know it's out of proportion when earlier in your comment you admit that you don't know what the risk is? We have no idea how bad these plastics are for us.

> probably not great

Sounds like it's being minimized for some reason. I'd err on the side of caution when it comes to putting things in your body and your baby's body and developing brain.

There is no big demand on parents to microwave plastic.
Best Pizza in San Francisco (2019)
Right now AI produces code that competent coders can massage into the real thing or copy that competent writers can massage into the real thing. I've not seen any evidence it's ever going to turn that corner, but obviously the future is unpredictable.
> the impacts of these plastics in real life is completely unknown

What about this test they did though, I wouldn't say "completely" unknown?

> To test what these plastics do to our bodies once they’re consumed, the team bathed human embryonic kidney cells in the plastic roughage shed by the baby-food containers. (The team chose this kind of cell because kidneys have so much contact with ingested plastic.) After two days of exposure to concentrated microplastics and nanoplastics, about 75 percent of the kidney cells died—over three times as many as cells that spent two days in a much more diluted solution.

I think the safest thing to do is just not microwave the food in plastic anymore and slowly move from plastic storage back to glass for instance, which correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't have these issues. It is less convenient but convenience is what puts all this garbage into our bodies.
The theory is that very few companies actually need more than one ipv4 address. In fact, the overwhelming majority of internet consumers would be better served without a public address.
What I heard was private tree farmers did just that. It's the public forestry service that logs out the best trees. It's that old "tragedy of the commons" problem.

Actually there's a couple of work arounds for this problem as they anticipated it all along. My father was Director of Operations at Tidbinbilla deep space tracking station which ran most of the comms to Voyager 1.

I am paraphrasing what he said as a non-technical person: Voyager has both a dish receiver, and a pole antenna. The dish is the usual mechanism for comms but in an emergency such as this they would send commands to the other antenna. To do this they would turn the main tracking station dish up to max, and send a "TURN AROUND!" signal out.

But prior to that they had to alert the local electricity grid, and the local air traffic control to not have any planes flying over at the time!

I guess the Voyagers are too far away for this manoeuvre now.
Same, literally for 42 years I have been using “I bid you shalom” and “Unhand me!” thanks to the man.
I know several healthcare professionals with permanently screwed up backs because a patient was falling and they went to catch the patient. Much like an I-beam falling on you, you don't always get to pick and choose what you have to deal with.

I asked a couple nurses I know and they have never heard of this "staff-to-weight" ratio. At least here in America most hospitals operate on staff-to-patient ratio. I suppose this could be different in other countries.
There really is no correlation between the wiki page and adaption rate. It's because the arch wiki has such depth that there is a page on it :) thank your contributors and maintainers daily.
My favorite Metrc API wart was submitting harvests when their API servers were bogged down. Sometimes, your "create harvest" request would get stuck in a transaction pool that wouldn't timeout for 10 minutes. You'd have to wait the full 10 minutes to see if it succeeded or not because setting a shorter timeout would risk double-submitting the harvest, thereby completely screwing up that cannabis business's compliance data.
