I wonder: CO2 emissions are often discussed, but what is the effect of the heat generated from our billions of machines?

> In 2007 the world consumed roughly 500 quadrillion BTUs of energy and is expected to increase at 1.4% per year. [1] About 90% of this energy was generated through fossil fuel combustion with a typical efficiency of 30-40%. The remaining 60-70% of the energy was lost to the environment via automotive exhaust, industrial processes, and more.

Can I ask why we're using a special definition of "levitation" that doesn't really mean levitation? I'm finding it very annoying to click headlines that say "Levitation of LK-99!", and... ohh it's still standing on one end.

I'm sure this is a promising discovery and everything, but saying "levitation" at this stage is very forward-looking, and for me - a bit cynicism-inducing.

This is consistent with my understanding as well. I don’t see instant battery charge being something that this enables. Current battery charge rates are limited by battery structure degrading more rapidly at high charge/discharge rates, so this wouldn’t really have any direct effect.

>Emergencies don’t come from random numbers.

This is an absolute that just plain isn't true. For instance, out-of-state PD calling my sister-in-law from an unrecognized number to inform her that her sibling had died suddenly. There are numerous instances where an unrecognized number may need to contact someone for an emergency. I don't say this to disagree with the general sentiment of your post, but I do disagree with that particular statement.

> Some institutions do say their attendance has fully come back, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Detroit Institute of Arts. Eric Gewirtz, a spokesman for the Detroit museum, said membership has increased by nearly 2,000 subscriptions. But overall, arts organizations have struggled.

Worth noting that The DIA has free entry for residents of three neighboring counties, which I could imagine is a contributor to attendance to pre-pandemic attendance.

Sometimes we don't even look at the art. Go in for free and hang out in the wonderful Kresge Court for food + drinks. Amble around to a particular section if we feel like it.

Other side of the problem is, we just haven’t been able to come up with a better economic system. Sure it might be sucky for us, but millions of people were lifted from extreme poverty over the last 10 years. Those people would probably support the system since the benefit they see is larger than what we see.

We use AC because changing voltage levels with it is extremely simple and efficient compared to DC.

In fact the only (practical) way to convert DC voltage levels is to convert to AC, do the level conversion, then convert back to DC.

Believe it or not, DC already is more efficient for energy transfer and why there are already DC high voltage transmission lines. You don't have to deal with reactive parasitics.

But again the killer is that AC voltages are so easy to switch and can by done with >99% efficiency.

You had a very different experience in your 20’s and 30’s than I did! Maybe you could tell me your secret. Right now I’m single again- and, look, I’m thin and athletic, no crows feet, no grey hair, no hair thinning, and I can still get it up like when I was 18, Im not ugly or funny looking, conventionally fairly good looking, I’m a software developer so I make good money- and nobody’s interested. I don’t honestly know why. Probably, it’s because I’m neurodivergent and I’m sending signals that I’m not aware of. But, it was the same in my 20’s. I got laid a couple times but nothing remotely like what you describe.

I’m not sad or upset about it. It’s a fact of life. It’s always been like this for me. I have plenty of other stuff going on in my life and I have friends and I’m ok. I just have always wondered what it was about some guys that was so magically attractive? From the outside, it looks like it’s the guys who tick the boxes of being very, should I say, normal. The ones who hew closely to whatever popular culture says a real man should act like and dress like.
Yeah that's a pretty reasonable take tbh. I do all that, but I'm fully aware its silly and probably counterproductive.

You do get the occasional one in the UK. I get one every 2-4 weeks I'd estimate.

Because the old product is no longer on the market, the FDA will not approve a generic.

That's not a requirement to get a generic approved.

As long as a molecule has been approved before (through a New Drug Application), all follow-on drugs get approved through an ANDA (Abbreviated New Drug Application).

The real reason why inhalers are so hard to make generics for is that it's not just a drug - it's a delivery system, which is way more technologically complex than just producing a bunch of a chemical and putting it in pills.

Generic companies aren't interested in the investment. Having a factory make a ton of drug is cheap for the most part. You can put it in pills can cost a few cents per pill.

Investing in a new inhaler device is a major investment. Kind of similar to how generic injectable drugs is not as attractive - the investment is much higher.

> Except science isn't based on lies and deception, doesn't ignore self contradictions and false beliefs, is evidence based, is falsifiable, changes when new facts come in, and corrects mistakes when they're found.

...At its best. That's not uniform across different fields; "social sciences" such as psychology are inherently a lot less rigorous than, say, chemistry. Also, there have been a few recent HN headlines about prestigious researchers withdrawing publications due to accusations of fraud. Let's not get into confirmation bias, tribalism, and whatnot, OK?

> But if you're into religion, then logical consistency and truth seeking isn't your thing anyway

It depends. Some claims based on religious beliefs are falsiable and happen to be scientifically dubious. However, many things are more philosophical in nature and aren't examinable by science. It seems there's pretty good evidence that Jesus died and resurrected, if only because the Roman soldiers probably wouldn't obscure details that would damage the credibility of Jesus' religion. Does this mean God exists and is as is described in the Bible? No, not necessarily. But you'd do well to consider that "science" isn't the end-all be-all answer to the universe. "Science", as we often deviate significantly from the spirit of scientific inquiry, which still isn't the key to omniscience.
"Training a model" is just a different name for "optimization".

The typical logistics optimization system is "smart" because it's optimizing exactly what it is supposed to. LLMs here would not be "smart" as they are optimizing toward a different target (human-like production of language-like text), and using them for things they're not specifically trained to do is indeed stupid.
This feels like it only makes much sense if you had an unsatisfying youth yourself or truly never wanted to do any of that exploring (you'd have turned it down even if the opportunity presented itself).

It takes two to play. I had some fun in my teens + 20s, I learned some things about myself and relationships, mostly pleasantly but occasionally not. I don't begrudge others for spending their youth exploring and learning the same sorts of things.

Yeah, in my experience, all those "interesting but practical fields" have plenty of people with experience in exactly that field, be it academic researchers, or more practically oriented people. They don't need some random mathematician that still has to learn everything.

This would seem to point to a fundamental impedance mismatch between textual dump formats used as debugging aids; vs textual project file formats which are human-readable for the purpose of permitting the use of text-based tools to process low-level data structures of the project before it's loaded back in.

Most OOP languages have a "debug print" or "shell inspect" method that the programmer can override, where by default the method will print something that's valid language syntax, but where the overrides aren't required or expected to be such, and instead should concisely describe the object at the expense of being reloadable. These same languages usually also have support for custom serializers for text-based serialization formats like JSON. The serializer implementation for JSON, and the serializer implementation for "shell inspect", are rarely identical.

I think what a CG/VFX artist would want here, isn't that the canonical textual file-format "for import" gives them decimal-serialized floats; but rather that they have the option to "inspect" the project, resulting in a view that looks like e.g. https://www.tonymacx86.com/media/ioregistryexplorer.187440/f... — an hierarchically-expandable "shell inspect" of the project. It makes perfect sense for the floats in such a read-only debugging-oriented view to be rendered in decimal (esp. if a raw canonical binary-data representation is given in parentheses beside the rendered value.)
Yup! In particular judging someone on a single axis and using that to come to conclusions about what sex acts they'll do or won't do with you is a very jaundiced, objectifying way to look at another human.
> > turns out they had to severely jack up prices to profit, proving such criticism correct

> They are not more expensive compared to the competition. So no, the criticism isn't correct

They are more expensive than they were. So yes, the criticism is correct.

Price vs. competition is a red herring, we're discussing if the prices they initially had could be sustained in the long term while still generating a profit.

Turns out, they couldn't, hence why they were jacked way up
In what way is it bizarre? The science is settled, so the only thing left to talk about is denial of the science.

Consider the flat earth topic as a parallel. If there was no flat earth idea floating around, would we ever talk about the spherical nature of the earth? The answer is no. Why would we? What would there be to talk about? The topic of the shape of the earth comes up only because the flat earth challenges what has been settled, creating something to talk about.

I don't think it's fair to blame the technology. The problem is that the computing industry has changed.

The things that IPv6 would enable (direct end-to-end connectivity) is now seen as a negative by the industry that has since pivoted on rent-seeking, walled gardens and restricting user's potential. The industry is now even legally making money on many things that would've been considered outright malware just a decade ago.

People being able to host things themselves, or local-first apps that communicate directly without the need for any middlemen is a negative for the industry. The industry wants there to be a technical need for a middleman, so they can provide that and seek rent over it.

There is no user-level demand for IPv6 because the industry is no longer making any apps/devices/services that would take advantage of end-to-end connectivity (even if it was available now - let's say in a hypothetical world where IPv6 adoption is 100%) since it's more profitable not to, so as a result there is no pressure on ISPs to offer it.

I wanted to say no, that can't work.

And I think it can't work. But now I am not sure!

The other day I was working on a mono photo to prove a point: that a model (a photographic artist's model!) with very striking pink hair was of little concern to a photographer who worked in black and white only, and might actually present some opportunities for choosing tonal separation that are not present in those with non-tinted hair.

In different circumstances (film and filter) her hair could appear (in black and white) to the viewer as if it was likely brunette or likely blonde, before any local (as opposed to image wide) adjustments were made.

The question you are asking, I think, is could you get the hair colour right based on the impact of those same circumstances on other known objects in the scene.

I think the answer is no, in the main, generally because those objects likely don't survive to make colour comparisons from (and there are known cases where the colourisation of a building has been completely wrong because it had simply been repainted). And also because it's sometimes not even obvious what a structure actually is, without its colour. People who colourise by hand make this mistake too.

But I concede that given that we have to work with contemporary images to have a colour source, randomising the tone curve is the only thing that could work.
>how can the average temperature be higher than that of all the years?

All the lines are averages. Each line represents a year.

The red line is the current year, which is why it stops at August.

>And if each gray line represents a year, we can't tell if there is a steady increase year/year, all we see are clusters for different years.

We can however see that 2023, starting from April, is consistently higher than any and all previous years.
You're moving the goal posts here. Does the fact that the Mughals - and for that matter no other colonisers other than some Western self-flagellating descendants from earlier colonists - never even thought of 'acknowledging they lived on stolen land' negate their actions? Clearly it does not.
I would assume that this is because of the lack of purification of the samples.

A fully pure sample would probably fully levitate. Given the rush to recreate and lack of purity, if a portion levitates (causing standing on one end) you could assume a pure sample would fully levitate.

The term for this is "cottage industry". The system also existed in England around this time. Essentially it was industrialization, just dispersed and unable to take advantage of the efficiencies of centralization. It ended in Europe due to the rising costs of labor versus increasing automation. But any economy with a large consumer base and low capital investment will naturally develop that way.
>This is just a form of “you may have already won!"

If someone contacts you claiming you have won a prize, and it appears to be from a real but shady business (e.g. a car dealership), consider falling for it. The scam is most likely illegal and you may be able to collect. Your local government should have a consumer protection agency that can help you do so. Just keep your cool and document everything.

I've taken two car dealerships to court for this. It was fun and profitable.

Also, it appears the scam is illegal at the federal level.

Cloudflare does have a mode they label "end-to-end", which is not E2EE (it is decrypting and re-encrypting on Cloudflare's servers).

I moved from academia to industry and it was the best decision I ever made. Save for a couple of shorter term positions in terribly-run companies life has dramatically improved.

You've progressed nicely in a very niche domain - is there any problem within that domain that you feel like you could solve outside of the academy? For instance, is there some product, software, service that you wished you had at some point in your work? If so, is there a big enough market to build something like that which would create a business that you could build?

You understand high level mathematics - I have no doubt you'll be at least a decent programmer, but consider that there are other opportunities that may be out there for you. Good luck in your journey.
