They also say the property was left empty for 'various reasons' amids a housing crisis.

You can argue that the right to have a home prevails over the right to let a property sit empty and rot away. This is the case in the Netherlands, where squatting rights are very limited these days, but where its still necessary to go to court for an eviction where the property owner needs to prove they have plans for the property and want to act on them soon.

There is also a law in Amsterdam that requires that all housing that sits empty for more than 6 months is reported to the city. The city then forces the property owner to make it liveable again and rent it out.

Both examples show that property rights are not absolute in certain parts of the world.

One year is the worst case scenario. Drive with used up total bytes written rating, very hot environment, and unplugged.

While SSDs are inferior for long term data persistence if it’s irreplaceable data you should be bring the file system online on a schedule and let it run checksums. If something errors restore from another copy. The magic of digital storage is perfect copies at low cost. The loss of any one copy is fine as long as it has been copied forward elsewhere.
The Psychology of Killing with Drones: Reviewing on Killing Remotely
Could you please share the link of the blog you’re talking about?
Yeah, see, it wouldn't.

Transmission lines are priced per kilometre. Superconducting transmission will almost certainly cost more than vanilla SCAW (steel cored aluminum wire), and you still have to pay for pylons, bridges, and/or directional drilling over land, or for laying if on the sea bed.

Return on capital employed drives investment decisions. With the cost of PV, wind, and storage falling rapidly, and the efficiency of PV rising, the numbers are starting to fall out in favour of overbuilding supply near demand (in Siberia, to take your example), not building long transmission lines.

No one lives in Siberia anyway, to a first approximation. No market, no investment.
Ever heard of ORM lol
I was hoping for something more like:

* Check you're storing secrets safely and not in the code

* Run a automated security scanner to check for the OWASP top 10

* Confirm your endpoints have correct auth/permission checks, and that all debug flags are off

* Ensure databases are protected (eg. Not exposed to the internet or heavily restricted)

* Enable 2FA for everyone in the company and use a password manager

* Check what are the data protection laws and disclosure sla of your country
You could almost get a new Rivian for that much.
I've only read the first Psmith book set in Blandings - Leave it to Psmith. It's absolutely hilarious.

If you like Ukridge, then you could also read 'Love Amount the Chickens', which features the Ukridge character.
That's a marvelous article and 60 citations to boot.

I mean, it just goes to show you how condescending the British are, in particular, about India and Indians. Hitchens didn't even bother getting to know the culture or the situation on the ground there before comparing St. Teresa's empire to the richest Western hospitals (and then turned around and vilified St. Teresa's own medical care and transportation lifestyle...)

I never really knew many deep facts about St. Teresa's network of homes and facilities. I just knew she was a woman of great charity. And she had to have earned that success in some supernatural way. If she was truly as cruel to the poor as her detractors say (and most of them merely parrot Hitchens without an original thought) then she would not have angered the priests of Kali, she would not have won the hearts and minds of the poor, and she would not have gained such singular worldwide acclaim and a prompt canonization.

Honestly, she was the type of person who not only worked within the Church and furthered the Church's mission, she furthered the humanity of those who are vulnerable and powerless. She spoke up for the unborn in a steadfast, loving way. She championed these people who couldn't even get into hospitals, who would otherwise die in a gutter. She inspired countless other women to act in the same way and join her mission. In fact I always, always see blue-and-white saris around town, because the Missionaries of Charity are active and engaged here in my hometown, and it's fantastic; it's literally like little St. Teresas running around and carrying on her work.
I'd love to write sci-fi one day. Don't hold your breath though. :)

You're not wrong tho. NP problems can be verified in polynomial time.

Nondetermisitic turnig machine is like a turing machine that has multiple "next steps" instead of one at a given time, and can migically choose the correct next step.

You can think it as "taking all the possible paths at the same time (but at the end only the correct one matters)". But you can also think it as "given all the 'choices' it made, check if there is actually such a path", in other words, verifying a certification.
I do not doubt that those trains will be powered by electricity (solar or wind: no one will object to either near a mine or along tracks).

Similarly, if they need hydrogen as a reduction agent, they will produce it locally — i.e., not ask anyone trying to capture CO2 in the air or buy from it far away. No one is moving smelting facilities, so they’ll setup solar panels and wind farms around those.

That’s why the argument of making those far away, in place known for nothing but sand and oil fields always felt disingenuous.

It's quoting several researchers verbatim which gives a clear picture of the compound in question.
At this point it would be a scandal if the quotes were made up or taken out of context. I don't see what is sad about people believing it. Do you go back to the source on every article you read online or in print?

You could simply build one of these plants next to a concrete plant, which is producing highly concentrated CO2 to reduce that cost. (A lot of similar industries exist of course.)

I am having trouble understanding this, that is, it does not match my mental model of how the web works. A link is clicked and your browser goes off and starts fetching the new page. The original page does not have any mechanism to control the new page.

Update: Had a bit of think about it. I am stuck in a web 1.0 model. Perhaps the links are not real links but some sort of javascript treachery, The other way to do this would be to send the links through a slow redirection service. so technically not slowing down the load time of the linked page, but realistically the user does not care where the link is slow just that it is.
LFP has a lot of hype for good reasons:

* Charge cycles before degradation are much better (typically 1000-3000 cycles, depending on how you cycle it)

* Can be charged to 100% without causing stress on the battery

* Extremely safe; you basically can't catch it on fire... unlike NMC batteries

The main downside is that you aren't supposed to charge it when the battery is below freezing, so this new tech that allows -10C charging would be a big improvement. It also has lower energy density vs. NMC batteries. The rest of the claims have pretty much been done before, honestly.

Always love hearing other people enjoying Remains of the Day. I never would have picked it up in the first place if I knew that it was "about" a butler reflecting on their career. But it has ended up being one of my favourite books of all time.

You should maybe try some other Ishiguro work. He has quite a lot of sci-fi adjacent stuff but he uses the speculative elements in a very interesting way that would not really be seen in traditional sci-fi where the speculative elements are often quite background and tacitly accepted by the characters and serve (as I take it) as more of a way of focusing attention on something emotive which is the true point of the book. Some people don't care for Never Let Me Go, but it made an impression on me almost as large as Remains of the Day did.
SSD get mixed signals in the reliability/heat stakes. They do fail, they fail in ways we haven't got used to yet, and so TRIM/SMART is only partially ameliorative.

I want to be there. I'm told they run hot, so incur much the same cooling issues HDD do. I am told if you don't recharge them periodically, they are not reliable offline storage disconnected from power for various reasons.

And of course, there's price.
Political organizer to repatriate the temporary visa workforce.
You absolutely can. I recommend selling it as subscription service at launch, with a free demo. Less calculations/simpler workflows. If it allows to save $hundreds, people will be happy to pay $tens. A lot of "lifehack" websites accept paid content, you even have a chance of getting free advertising.

Why isn't your product global from the start?
Ivermectin is known to be an anthelminthic: it kills worms. That's what it's approved for. It is not known to have antiviral activity, so it's not approved for that use.

It is acknowledged to be an official medicine for humans, not just an animal remedy as you claimed. Please keep to the point.
I think a lot of people have also been burned by the continuous new rollout of tape formats.

People invest in tape because it offers long term offsite storage, but vendors only offer drive life spans in the order of 4-6 years. After this they rollout higher capacity drives/cartridges and force everyone to refresh their entire hardware and tape collection because they end of life equipment. This costs millions of dollars for a medium sized enterprise.

LTO5 was released in 2010. It offers all the feature of a LTO9 tape (encryption, compression, RFID chips, partitioning, LTFS support) only with much less space per cartridge. These LTO5 cartridges are still readable with very low error rates regardless of how they were stored 13 years later, but sourcing drives is getting more difficult every year.

Tape media needs the equivalent of an LTS Operating System release, where a vendor will guarantee the drives, libraries and cartridge formats will be manufactured, supported and maintained for 20+ years.
Cars are the least interesting machines to benefit from a hydrogen economy IMO
Our CS-Prof also had another interesting point: P = NP could be true without changing many things in reality.

This could occur if the reduction of an NP-complete problem onto a polynomial problem results in a runtime of such monstrous polynomial degree that the exponential algorithms are just faster for every tractable problem size. Something like this exists in some graph algorithms - theoretically faster algorithms exist, but in practice, they are a lot slower than the theoretically slower algorithm until completely silly graph sizes.

This could turn even more frustrating if the proof was nonconstructive.
The first paragraph of the first article in the series says this:

"As we announced recently, my team at Google has started a new effort to build production-worthy engineering tools for Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). One focal point of this, and one which I’ll be focusing on as long as Google is willing to pay me to do so, is building out a compiler toolchain for FHE in the MLIR framework (Multi-Level Intermediate Representation). The project is called Homomorphic Encryption Intermediate Representation, or HEIR."

By the way, the author of the GitHub repo has updated the README to have a link to the MLIR framework now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Can't wait to read about it.
Domain for sale huh? Sell it to the wrong person (and I doubt anyone else is even remotely interested) and you got tens of thousands of files that you can replace with malware and nobody is going to be any wiser about it.
Not only in desperate places. I heard last year (or the year before) someone stole few km of train wire in Germany. Although to this day some people think it was a Russian sabotage rather than genuine theft.
Previously (for example in Poland) I used to hear about things like this all the time until maybe a decade ago.
Also the name invokes "Ubiquity" the networking company.
I believe this is a significant and understated direct cause of tech’s current push for returning to offices.

Which is not to say that it’s a bad idea necessarily for the stated goal.
"We have expensive real estate. And if they're only utilized 30 percent of the time, we have to be careful in how we think about it."

Isn't this the sunk-cost-fallacy or something like that? If people perform better working from home does it have anything to do with under-utilized office-space?

Forcing the employees back to the office does hide the fact that there is underutilized office-space, but does that make any business-sense?
How does that work? Surely you'd set it to the past. Unless it's a $networkDate - $installDate > $x thing.
https://github.com/ambrosiogabe/MathAnimation

If you’ve ever tried to make a mathematical animation (think 3Blue1Brown), it’s a real pain. I was using manim for awhile to make animations for my YT channel, but the whole iteration process felt very slow and repetitive. So I thought I would recreate manim over the weekend, except with a GUI and real-time feedback. It’s been a year and a half and I’m hoping this weekend will be done soon so I can move on and start making videos again.

So far, it does a lot, but it still needs a lot of polish and refinement. The readme gives some gifs and a better idea of the feature set right now.
Indians: A Brief History of a Civilization
I'm reading about the new technique used in this journal article but I'm not sure if it's really as 'innovative' as the article says. The researchers are asking asking ChatGPT to impersonate political officials and are using those impersonated answers to compare to its default ones (when not asked to impersonate).

This says less about ChatGPT's absolute political bias and more about ChatGPT's political bias as ChatGPT sees it. Or, in other words, how ChatGPT's responses compare to what ChatGPT thinks certain political leaders would say.

I'm left with more questions after reading the article and skimming the report. Is this really helpful?

Cofounder asks for rent after raising seed, should the startup pay him?
So i moved from the UK to Paloalto to work with my cofounder in person, the property was owned by my cofounder. We never discussed rent and assumed it was free. We worked for 6 month and got our first seed investment and reimbursed most of the R&D costs that we could find a receipt for (we do robotics and bought many machines). We are now moving into an actual office and now my cofounder wants the startup to pay him for the previous 6 months we were using his property. Is this normal?

I was tasked with photographing a teacher once for work. In her class was a child that pretty clearly didn’t know what was going on and just moaned the majority of the time. He, of course, had an aid - quite possibly an actual nurse - that presumably had to be with him the whole time.

I fee for his parents. I’m sure they want him to have as normal of a life as he possibly can. That said, when one student is taking up the resources that could fund another entire class with no perceivable benefit…. Perhaps a group home would be a better fit?

I don’t think feeling that way makes me a monster, but I bet some people feel otherwise.

Vikings did Vikinging a full century before Lindisfarne on the eastern shore of the Baltic. There’s Salme ships on Saaremaa dated to around 700 AD, as well as the Scandinavian settlement in Grobina, Courland with its start dated to 650 AD.

There are also Vendel age Scandinavian finds deeper in Courland along the rivers, such as seeming trade outposts and such.

Sure, maybe that doesn’t count as it’s primarily Gotlanders, and the lands in question were not Christian, but Scandinavians learned to sail around, trade, fight, and colonize long before Lindisfarne.

That's exactly what happened. Shitter has been for a long time rewriting every link to go through their "t.co" URL shortening service. Seems like that service is now adding random delays to certain domains.
Let me add a few:

- organic data exhaustion - we need to step up synthetic data and its validation

- imbalanced datasets - catalog, assess and fill in missing data

- backtracking - make LLMs better at combinatorial or search problems

- deduction - we need to augment the training set for revealing implicit knowledge, in other words to study the text before learning it

- defragmentation - information comes in small chunks, sits in separate siloes, and context size is short, we need to use retrieval to bring it together for analysis

tl;dr We need quantity, diversity and depth in our training sets

As a self learner which courses, books, etc have rewired your mental model?
Many people (or students) have self studied some topic or subject using resources found online or at a library. The resources include MOOCs, university courses, books, tutorial blogs, etc.

Some of the resources are so good that they bend your mind completely in a good way and you find out new avenues of thought and learning. You fall in love with a subject and pursue further.

I have two favourite courses for programming:

1. How to Code 1 and 2 by Gregor Kiczales on edX. They are based on the book How to Design Programs

2. Brown University's Acclerated Intro to CS course by one of the authors of HtDP: CS19. You can find it here: https://learnaifromscratch.github.io/software.

I have two favorite math books that have helped me understand more math:

1. Introduction to Logic by Alfred Tarski

2. Vector Calculus by Hubbard and Hubbard

What are yours?
Just from a casual search on some jobs boards, some of the better paying non-dev stuff seems to be:

1) B2B Sales

2) Business Analyst/Systems Analyst/QA

3) Management (mostly retail, logistics, and medical)

I imagine 2) is the easiest for devs who are out of work. Sales might be an option if you have the personality (but B2C sales don’t pay very well). 3) seems tougher because they usually want people with king established domain expertise, but it might be possible.

There seem to be some well paid trades/industrial jobs, but anything paying decent money seem to want very experienced people, probably with catches (the biggest I’ve heard from talking to people are excessive hours in harsh environments). There’s also a handful of well paid marketing positions as well as medical positions, but those are probably going to be a no-go without a background there.

No 350kW charging only needs 50 amps. That would mean charging at 7000V, which no car supports.

The existing 250kW charging from Tesla maxes out at 400V, which is 625 amps. The EA 350kW chargers run at 800V, so they use ~437 amps. The cables are thick, but not that thick honestly.

County Highway: print-only broadsheet magazine about America
I came up with following technosignature:

Imagine a star system where there is CO2 rich planet closer than the main habitated planet (think earth as main planet and Venus as CO2 rich inner planet). At some point civilization will try to terraform the CO2 planet by venting CO2 into space, but they don't want to poison their own planet so there will be seasonal gaps in CO2 emissions just when the inner planet crosses in front of main planet.

So to find such civilizations you only need to know 2 orbital periods and monitor CO2 or other gas emissions. Any drop during the conjunction is the technosignature.
