> I'm thinking of doing something similar, but I can't figure out how I'll do it without running around 400Ah of 48V Lithium battery. The panels can charge that using a regular old MPPT charge controller (or two). Then I'll run a big inverter (5000W) from that to get to AC power, and plug a regular EV charger into that.

That’s how I would approach it, solar panels feeding an inverter, which feeds the regular old EV charger. Toss in some batteries to store excess power. Might as well use off the shelf parts instead of engineering custom direct DC charging.

22mil healthcare workers according to [1] in 2021

~$60k annual pay as of 2023 [2]

Funny math ends up at $1.3T for healthcare workers. Looks like half an order magnitude higher than your estimate - even if we assume they were paid much less 2 years ago.

That's true. It's a good point. They also don't work on dogs, so you should keep that in mind if your team is largely canine in nature.
Yes, TSP is in NP.

Strictly speaking, the only problems in NP are decision problems, so when we say "TSP is in NP", we're talking about the "decision version of TSP": given a graph G, does there exist a Hamiltonian circuit with total length <= K?

And it's straightforward to show that this problem is in NP, because if the answer is "yes", then simply exhibiting such a tour is enough to provide a polynomial-time-verifiable proof of the answer's correctness.

(Note that it is not known whether TSP is in co-NP, so it is not known whether one can produce a polynomial-time-verifiable proof of a "no" answer.)

But note that if it were to turn out that the decision version of TSP was solvable in polynomial time, then the optimization version would also be in P, because you can just binary-search on all of the possible values of K. This results in at most a polynomial slowdown.

A brilliant innovator and complete asshole who could have innovated even more brilliantly if he hadn't insisted on being such a complete asshole. And who also had some hangers-on like Pierre Sprey who were . . . not as brilliant.
Yeah, no free lunch / easy solutions here. post-ex evaluation often misses the ongoing impact of decisions made during a leader's tenure. also there is difficulty in isolating the effects of a single leader from the myriad of other factors that could influence a company's success post-exit. ex. Market conditions, subsequent leadership, and unforeseen global events, to name a few
And even then, only as a concept.

That thing is huge. Can't take it on a bus, attach it behind a car like a regular e-bike. Can't ride it in windy weather lest you get tipped over by a gust. Can't ride in rainy weather (well, I suppose you can, if you just rely on your leg power), but at least it shields you from rain, I suppose.

It's just not practical. Leave solar panels stationary where they belong.
For a TUI yes it's greedy.
I didn't understand the article until I read your comment!

I'd never point at someone's cake in someone's house and ask for a slice.

Except for a really good friend, but I'd simply point to his cake and tell him I'm going to eat it. He would either say yes or tell me why I couldn't and neither of us would take offence either way.

I've learnt to shoot down inappropriate ask request right away. Lending you money? No, I don't lent out money.

corp users still share some machines.

actually if you think about it, lots of machines you OWN nowadays don't give you root access.

Plenty of people get bogged down in techinque and never evolve beyond that, choosing to acquire as many tricks as if it’s a numbers contest.

Your analogy doesn't hold (like most car analogies).

Someone making 100x more than the average worker in their industry simply doesn't have the capability to see those workers (nor the consumer) as anything but ants.

I somewhat agree that C-levels aren't the root of this problem. What's needed is to rein in hedge funds (who corrupt almost all industries) by closing things like the "carried interest" tax loophole.
Ask them hypothetically where would someone like them typically want to go :)
In the timeframes this post is talking about, you can practically do the same in any operating system. What "basic runtime" could such an aged Linux binary use, other than glibc and Xlib/motif, which are precisely the ones which have been actually trying to preserve ABI? These 30 year old binaries have a higher change of working than week old ones...

This is similar to the fact that Office 95 will work on recent Windows, but Office 2k won't.

They still have theory. I have an amazing book on playing Rajas. But if I played them right now, it would sound more like messed up blues because I haven't learned that aspect of how to play Raja music correctly, and only by coincidence the blues pentatonic scale is similar. I have an idea what Raja sounds like, but that's rather incomplete knowledge of the associated music theory. Applying the wrong theory produces the wrong sound. Enough evidence that there is theory in all forms of music.

You might be right about a certain western bias toward [western] theory, but it has no bearing on theory in general. Especially how it applies to each culture's distinct music. The same bias appears in the other direction, because Indians regularly say they think Western music sounds out of tune and lacking expression. I don't think anybody brought that up as an issue though.

The difference, pertaining to this thread, is understanding music, versus merely aping riffs you learned from your heroes, with no regard to the underlying music and how things that fit, fit.
The dancer in Stomp may or may not know music theory. And analogies may or may not be useful.

I will argue or grant that most visual artists do learn to see - even though they very much do not all see the same thing because seeing is also subject to preferences and intellectual choices. Visual arts have certainly gone far and wide. For much of it, even calling it "visual" is a stretch. Sure.
I am seriously tempted by a project like this. They even have a linux client!

The pinnacle of my Runescape days was just after they opened the Grand Exchange. That was around the time I realized that if I didn't stop playing this game every night, I'd have no life, so I began the process of walking away.

The fact that I lost my login (pre-password manager days) had nothing to do with me making that wise decision, nor the fact that I still don't have a life.
I assume those frameworks have a way to specify the cut off for similarity and a default. And they are flexible in terms of the granularity that you use them, so you should be able to specify the prompt directly in theory.

But using the OpenAI API directly is not that complicated. And neither is using something like pg_vector or just a plain cosine similarity calculation from Stack Overflow.

Those doorbells should be banned. Numerous times I’ve seen videos posted on local Facebook groups of completely innocuous situations that freaked out some paranoid curtain twitcher. Recently someone posted a video of a kid knocking her door: “Anyone know who this is? I think they’re up to something”.
Had a similar experience. I was a complete addict in High School to late 90's Everquest. I believe the project was EQEmu and I was able to spin up a local SQL server and run my own private server. I had no idea what I was doing at the time but I got it to work and was able to have friends join me...over my dialup connection. Unreal at the time :)
It's funny, my comment originally went in more depth specifically calling out how nobody in the US younger generations would know about 3 Mile Island, but decided to edit it back. To me, to even equate 3 Mile Island to Chernobyl isn't even in the realm of sane. What's the exclusion zone around 3 Mile Island? Exactly.

My bet would be future generations in Japan will be very aware of Fukushima. Stipulating that Russians knowing about things in Ukraine is totally different than the Japanese knowing about things in their backyard.
Thanks, so it seems like it's a community-chat focused game in some ways? Do people just wander in and play solo too?
If you end up paying multiple times more for energy than you were a couple of years back, it's natural that exports are lower and imports are higher.

That means de-industrialisation of the country in a major way, because there's no way you can remain competitive on the world stage.

Germany was the major bread-winner and subsidiser for the whole of the EU, so it's not really that 'Germany is the sick man of Europe', it's more that 'Europe is the sick man of the West'.
> How exactly is the preference of the one individual dominant?

The other 999 people will have a diverse set of preferences for services and goods within the economy. They will share some, and not others. But each of them has only $500 to spend on those services and goods, and so anything not widely shared among them doesn't offer much of an incentive in terms of potential income to anyone who might offer goods and services. If something doesn't appeal to a sizable majority of the 999, there's likely to be too little chance at sufficient revenue to pursue it.

By contrast, the high value individual has $500,000 available to spend on their own singular preferences for goods and services, providing a strong incentive for providers of those things to cater to this individual. The changes of being to have a reliable, significant revenue flow from doing what they want are quite good.

Consequently, the economy ends up being structured (to some degree) around the preferences of the wealthy individual, rather than the broader public.

Of course, this is not a "hard divide" ... obviously there will be some things that all 999 others (and even the 1 rich individual) want, and some part of the economy will respond to that. However, even for such basic things as, say, bread, preferences can be wildly divergent, meaning that a single provider is not likely to tap into the entire potential market for that generic. And obviously there are also risks in this thought experiment scenario, because there is only a single high wealth individual - fail to accurately target their preferences, and you're potentially worse off than catering to everyone else.

Obviously, a more realistic example would (e.g.) involve 1% (say, 3M) individuals of high net worth/income, amidst 330M+ individuals of varying levels of net worth/income. In this scenario, there is more scope for providers of goods and services to cater to relatively unpopular things, because amidst the 330M lower-income folk, there will likely be enough to make it potentially worthwhile.

But this is true only to a point. If enough of the lower income folk don't really have much disposable income at all, their preferences for non-essential items will not translate into actual purchases of goods and services that they may otherwise be desirous of.

And of course, with 1M high income people, their preferences will be more diverse than in the thought experiment. However, the deck is still stacked in favor of businesses that seek to cater to those with more money, because of the unbalanced distribution of wealth & income.

In this more realistic example (i.e. the contemporary USA), a sizable chunk of the economy remains focused on the preferences/needs of the majority. But a much bigger slice of GDP flows around the preferences and needs of the very wealthy than would be the case with a more balanced distribution of income/wealth, and I maintain that this constitutes a harm to the economy and the entire population.

I never said I didn't like the genre. In fact, I'm confident that I forgotten more than you've ever known about it. There's no need to be abrasive or try to tell people what to do, but if you're going to do that, then at least have the decency to take a moment and comprehend what you are responding to.
Or how about ceos serve on other ceos boards and have been approving absolutely outrageous packages for 30+ years and now we’re in clown world.

All of that nonsense about value and vision means nothing when ceos helm companies who are protected by a myriad of what should be considered antitrust violations.

What vision and value could a healthcare ceo possibly provide?

Been in the corp world for 20 years and not once have I seen any meaningful change come from a ceo of companies the size of which we’re talking about.

You can do this on basically any modern unix by passing file descriptors over a unix socket: the “graphical editor” server would launch as a user that can’t access anything except a socket and then users would open files by pushing an open fd to the editor over its socket.

That kind of integration is another reason, yes, but this is a passable moat, so I'm not talking about it much (mind you, I live in HPC world).

If programming is a team sport, every team player should be up to the level your project needs. If they are not, they should raise their bars. Seriously.

Yes, seriously, be mindful. Implement allocation and destruction first, fill your code between these two steps.

This analysis is focused on economic power, not political power.

If it was about political power, it would still have to be noted that despite some effort, the fact that wealth doesn't literally buy you extra votes doesn't eliminate wealth giving you more influence over political priorities and decisions.

Make officers personally liable for civil and criminal penalties when they break laws or violate rights, even if acting on orders or in accordance with their departmental policies. Simple fix.
The problem with async programming, or cooperative multitasking (as it was popularized in the Windows 3.1 era) is that the CPU is a resource too. Threads are a better way of slicing up CPU time.
And no justification or explanation that I can see. David Tolnay's response:

> Thanks for the comments everyone. I'll go ahead and close this. The precompiled implementation is the only supported way to use the macros that are published in serde_derive. If there is implementation work needed in some build tools to accommodate it, someone should feel free to do that work (as I have done for Buck and Bazel, which are tools I use and contribute significantly to) or publish your own fork of the source code under a different name. Separately, regarding the commentary above about security, the best path forward would be for one of the people who cares about this to invest in a Cargo or crates.io RFC around first-class precompiled macros so that there is an approach that would suit your preferences; serde_derive would adopt that when available.
I went to a graduation a few years ago at Carnegie Mellon. Some hedge fund guy was making his biggest donation yet and gave the commencement speech. It was endlessly about him and the new building to be named after him and how he was about to own an NFL football team. There was a Nobel Prize winner seated next to him on stage. I don't think she got to say anything, but was recognized for her work in cancer research. The juxtaposition felt Kafkaesque and a bit sleazy.
So many people dismiss Tcl as near garbage, but Tcl/Tk applications written more than 20 years ago still run as intended including GUI, and they run on Linux, Windows and Mac. You just install a new --or old, whatever-- version of Tcl/Tk and the scripts will run, agnostically. I have a few I made myself 15 to 20 years ago and at least with those I never have to worry about distro upgrades, repositories or libc version.

A paper does not exist in a vacuum. If a field is filled with papers authored and co-authored by known sexual harassers, do you think many women will want to enter that field?

Letting shitty people gain prevalence in your field will have a negative effect on the future of your field, just like hiring shitty managers will have a detrimental effect on your company's turnover rate. It makes sense to want to limit the influence of shitty people.
Perhaps Castle Bravo would be a closer comparison? I think the point stands.
If it had been a piece of shovelware I doubt they would have bothered. But there were some applications and games like this (Myst also comes to mind) that were so main stream MS may have had them on a punch list of apps to test before a release. When a game or app is sort of a poster child for “why should I buy a pc?” they didn’t have much choice. For countless other apps consumers had to fiddle with voodoo HIMEM configs and other such things you might hear rumored on street corners late at night trying to work so binary magic. I’ve heard the Sim City example before and I think it gives MS entirely too much credit for being OCD on compatibility. Plenty of things simply broke.
If someone tells me I'd be stupid to go visit grandma, and then decides I'm disloyal/unloving because I believed them, that's called lying and it's going to end my relationship with them pretty quickly.
I grew up in Southern California, and neither of your descriptors really apply to the general culture there. Social conventions in the area are far less structured nor regimentalized, so if you needed something serious (a loan from a family, help moving, a ride to work, etc) you should probably ask. If you had some minor issue, most people would keep it to themselves; not necessarily hoping for someone to "guess", but would respond pretty openly if you did probe/"guess".

I will say, the general lack of structure/formality in general social interactions is probably the biggest contrast between West Coast (especially SoCal) and either your New England or your wive's Southern upbringing. At least, this is my experience with transplants from those regions and their biggest complaints ("why don't people RSVP", "why are they wearing business casual to a fancy event", "why don't people bring gifts to get-togethers", etc).
