Worth noting for each pyro fuse in the cars what it protects against.

The fuse in the motor inverters protects against failure of the mosfets (switches) inside the motor inverter. If any one of those switches get stuck 'on', the motor ends up doing full-power braking. That happening while driving along the highway would be catastrophic - hence the pyro-fuse to prevent such things.

The fuse in the battery pack is to prevent a short circuit anywhere in the high voltage system of the car short circuiting the battery. Obviously a short would cause some pretty huge currents to flow, probably causing the battery to overheat in a few seconds, giving out large amounts of flammable gas, which would immediately ignite (TV-style fireball explosion). And again, the pyro fuse prevents that.
I mainly use Dexy (Dexedrine), but ironically, I cannot handle Vyvanse. Something about it sends me off the rails. I think it is due to some underlying metabolic reasoning i.e., I metabolize it way too quickly, but I have no idea.

How long does Vyvanse last for you? At best I could only ever get 4-6 hours out of it.

Not directly related, but this made me think of something I've been interested in recently - structured editors. Instead of tokenizing text and then parsing to an AST, you effectively edit the AST directly.

Since the thrust of the post seems to be about the sum of compilation + run time, it's a potentially more efficient alternative to traditional code editing. Here's an example of one in action:

> pursuing production for use, not profit

Profit is a much-misunderstood concept. Private profit is the best way discovered so far to align incentives for those who produce. As Adam Smith said, "it is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest."

A system that disregards profit and instead relies on some other incentive structure can work in small groups of people for short periods of time; but eventually those other incentives (usually some kind of familial love, a sense of group belonging and solidarity, or similar) run out of steam, and it fails to scale both in size and time.

To paraphrase Churchill, free-market capitalism is the worst system of economics, except for all the others that have been tried.

> Nationalised transportation and medicine works in many places

Only for a certain definition of "works". The Seoul Metro, owned by the city of Seoul, for example, is a huge network of clean, efficient subway lines that millions ride daily to get places. It's really quite nice to use. Under the hood, however, is the fact that they lose a quarter of a billion dollars every year, and is subsidized by taxpayers from around the whole country, most of whom don't even live in Seoul.

I do not think it is fair to use AI in support call centers as an example.

These call centers are not there to help customers (cancel subscription, refund, change something, etc.) and AI is perfectly tuned for that. Or at least they have procedures and AI is perfectly train to follow these.

In other words, AI in support centers is designed and works to follow companies procedures and rules—which may not always align with customer expectations.
First: this isn't a thought exercise. People have been doing it for years[1][2] and are trying to commercialize it. The results have become frighteningly convincing, at least for some people. You can convincingly clone both voices and writing, and the combination is even more convincing.

The training set would be exactly what you mentioned: chats between you and your family, friends, and coworkers. Professional writing might be useful for another purpose, to replicate your writing style (as we've seen done to famous authors).

Most people send hundreds of personal messages a week, which (over time) is more than enough to train a model.

This is cool. In the early days of go there was a 'netchan' that acted as a Go channel but over the network. It was discontinued because Rob Pike couldn't find a clean design.

Yeah I've been working in digital ASIC design myself for the last few years since graduating college and the pay is pretty good but I'm trying to plan how to get out of the field because job opportunities are quite limited, you can't just switch companies every few years the way software engineers do, unless you live somewhere like Silicon Valley and I don't want to have to move across the country whenever I want a new job.

Yes! I completely agree. It seems likely to me that the desire to have kids has at lease some genetic component. If most people with a weaker drive choose to not have kids then the ones who are left, those with a stronger drive, will pass their propensity on and the overall population will have a stronger drive to procreate.

I don’t know how many generations it would take, but ultimately it is a problem that might solve itself.
> Wealth: Some say that even though, in the last few centuries, fertility has been falling with increasing wealth, that switches to fertility increasing with more wealth at a sufficiently high wealth level.

Here we go again, confusing national wealth with personal wealth. The core problem is that wealthy nations have a dramatically increasing number of people just scraping by - such that they cannot afford kids and/or do not have the leftover time and effort available to raise them. Tack on the loss of tight communities (with collective childcare support) and you have a recipe for a lot of people saying "this isn't realistic for me/us".

>They seemed to focus on charging people with only the correct crimes and communicating processes to ensure those arrested wouldn’t lose their personal effects.

This was less for the protesters convenience as it was all about not making the officers on the ground deal with that level of pain in the ass logistics. They were told to search all belongings, but unless anything was found to just tag the bag and send them on to I'm guessing booking. During booking in a much more controlled environment, they could take their time and do the normal processing of personal items. It's a triaging decision, not a polite to the protestors decisions

>After having helped on a lot of tape storage implementations, I get why it's useful for quick estimates on backup solutions.

Can't you just do that estimate in your head? If you know your data mostly text and has a 3:1 compression ratio, when you buy your tapes you can multiply the raw capacity by 3, if it's mostly compressed images (i.e. gif, jpg, etc), you're probably not going see much compression at all.

Does going with some tape drive manufacturer's estimate really help you?

I've been to a lot of protests but I think the worst one I've ever seen was summer 2020 chicago. They declared an immediate curfew and simultaneously raised the bridges to downtown and shut down transit.

The police were so incredibly violent after that, they had total control and very little restraint. And there was local news or police media team ready to catch every act of desperation from the protestors. But very little of the state violence made it to the news. They were singling out people filming, smashing phones, arresting anyone nearby. I remember stumbling into a corner and falling to the street and seeing it already covered in blood and mucus and teeth, and thinking "that's more teeth than one person has in their head wtf happened here."

And then having to come on the internet every day since and hear about the "rioters" and looters and lawlessness and shit.

I disagree. If you have the intelligence and desire, you can easily gain the required skills, likely in the matter of a year if you work hard, to go it alone indefinitely.

I think a lot of people shit on self-sufficiency due to their own inadequacies.

It will not be fun. It will not be easy. But it’s doable. No, you will not be using metal tools or having solar power.

Funny thing about your “you can’t just find…” comment though: when I went to live in the woods, I went deep, miles from any highway and much farther to any town. And I always found signs of civilization in the middle of nowhere especially tons of metal scrap and ancient iron and usable plastic bottles.

There is enough debris from civilization all over the planet for scavenging. It makes things a lot easier but you can get by without them.

I even found an intact toilet once, in an area far away from even logging roads. My best guess is somebody with an aircraft may have wanted to play a daft joke?

The other strange thing were these random staircases in the woods in the middle of nowhere…

PS: If anyone reading this is thinking of leaving civilization, I suggest you start with short trips beginning with a couple days and then gradually working them up to longer periods. This will:

1. Allow you to see if it’s really for you or if just doing more camping will suffice.

2. Will show you your skill and equipment discrepancies and allow you to correct them before the next trip in a less life-threatening manner.

My first trip was an entire month and it was rough.
"elite"

> "For most employees, life is partly work, but partly things outside work," Stanford economist Nick Bloom said. "These elite CEOs probably work 100-plus hours a week and they're much more work-focused." The mandates symbolize the sharp disconnect right now between the way CEOs and employees think about work.

I see that Nick Bloom is as highly cited researcher with a bunch of clout, but his speculation that people like the Goldman sachs ceo "work" anywhere near 100 hours a week really throw into doubt his veracity.

That said the rest of his work seems solid, just an odd off the cuff remark imo, or a different definition of "work"

I think there's certainly a middle ground. Disrupting and provoking the very people you are trying to convince of something is objectively counterproductive. On the other end of the spectrum if there's not some level of disruption you just get ignored.

The trick is to find the line where you cause people enough disruption to think about why you're without causing so much that they just immediately side against you, and it seems like most protests completely miss the mark.
I’m so done with writing that has an implicit but uncommunicated quantitative model. (AI costs are too high? Relative to what? Show us!) Almost all analytical / business / industry writing should quantified.

I hope for better. We all should. It is within reach. Yes, I'm grumpy on this topic, but this doesn't make it unwarranted; it is a consequence of wanting better for a decade or longer.

At this point, if you claim to be a business analyst and you aren't sharing a simulation, logic, or code, I'm just not going to take you seriously.
I'm not saying plastic straws are the problem, I'm saying single-use things are a problem. Straws, not matter the material, are just one tiny part of that.

And I'm definitely not saying they're significant, but saying this is "not a climate change issue" is just plain incorrect.
It’s a very grey area. If we knew the answers with certainty there would only be black and white.

This is, unfortunately, more frequent problem than many people think.

I have seen so many contracts in the corporate world where each side wants to get as much as they can for themselves. What they should be doing instead is figuring out how to make both sides of the contract happy. They should be thinking and answering "If this contract is signed, would both sides be happy and would it result in a lasting and successful relationship?"

The best strategy is to price your services right, make sure the contract is adequately serving both sides and, ideally, that both sides will be getting something from it that will make them happy to continue the relationship.
As far as I can tell, the museum trustees are setting up a committee to choose who will investigate what if any artifacts may or may not be missing. Then they'll probably review procedures and attempt to make an accounting of items they may or may not still possess, since records are so spotty and incomplete.

But be sure no old boy will be prosecuted or have their reputation besmirched. Because, British.

The problem is not really in having children but in raising them.

I think it would be a good solution if couples were to have children in their early 20s, and have those children raised primarily by their grandparents who at this point would be in their mid-40s and very much settled in life.
Criticizing utility-first libraries doesn’t imply that a) the only alternative is some component-based naming scheme nor b) that you can’t use pieces of both & definitely isn’t suggesting c) use inline style. I’ve used a mix of different system where appropriate for years now & it’s been a pretty good way to go. And you can still give the component a name even if you do mostly or all utility classes for your team & other users.
I feel like everyone with kids had this idea for an app, but not too many people actually did it. Nice job.
It not only describes the issue it also provides some tools for decision making such as:

a) widening one’s aperture of what is an auction:

Auctions pervade our world, from mergers-and-acquisitions deals and procurement auctions to eBay.

b) ideas to avoid the trap:

- Analyze whether the asset has a common value element. A common value asset, like a jar of coins, has equal value to all bidders. If so, bid with caution.

- Assess your capabilities and compare them with those of other bidders.

- Before placing each bid, pause to consider how you would feel if you won the auction.

The F# for Fun and Profit[1] site by Scott Wlaschin is phenomenal as a general programming education site, not just for F# specific things (though there's plenty of that as well). The "Designing with types" series[2] is a good starting point.

The easiest way to create plots in Python and Matplotlib. The plotai is using LLM to generate code and plots.

The idea:

1. User provides input DataFrame and prompt.

2. The PlotAI constructs a prompt for LLM, which contains the first 5 rows of DataFrame and the user's prompt and asks for Python code as output.

3. Returned Python code is executed, and the plot is displayed.

The simplest possible API for plotting:

# import packages
import pandas as pd
from plotai import PlotAI
# create some data
df = pd.DataFrame({"x":[1,2,3], "y": [4,5,6]})
# do a plot
plot = PlotAI(df)
plot.make("scatter plot")

The PlotAI class has only one method, make().

It works in Python scripts and in notebooks (Jupyter, Colab, VS Code).

It does depend on location. My town, for example, is a "right to farm" community which--while it doesn't give you carte blanche to do anything you want that's agriculture-related on your property--does give fairly broad latitude.
OK, you made me do the math. LTO tapes are 225 cm^3 and 3.5" HDDs are 245 cm^3 so I stand corrected. The weight point is a really good one as well as a HDD is 3 times the weight of a tape.
> . I'm perfectionist freak and my factorio gameplay basically divides "before" and "after" cliff explosives.

I adopt the strategy of "field expedient base" which gets me to almost where I need to be, and then after expanding, I begin building a megabase with more technology and convert the field expedient base to a resource factory. Then I can transport processed resources by train to any number of places.

It's not that annoying once you realize that's kind of how you're supposed to expand. The natural obstacles are a godsend once you start playing on the harder modes.

Water, however, has always been a constant annoyance to me. But I am a purist and refuse to install mods because as far as I can tell the game is basically perfect without them.
The most interesting part of this article isn’t its assertion that AI innovation is about to slow, but rather that current LLMs can only produce “so-so automation” — that although LLMs can replace many jobs, LLMs aren’t good enough to offset the cost of people losing such jobs.

True as of today, but the article is overlooking multi-modal LLMs. Once AI can see, we’ll go from “wow, GPT4 is pretty good at helping me to my job” to “uh oh, GPT4-Vision can do my job better than I can”.

This is especially true if the model can read text off a screen. At that point, it’s likely to replace many workers who stare at screens for a few hours a day and pretend to work the remainder. The model won’t take coffee breaks, or long lunches, or take the afternoon off to drive their kid to the dentist. If you’re a worker whose work depends upon looking at a screen, and mostly involves moving data from one place to another with light transformations and interpretations, you’re going to be in trouble by the end of the decade.
