Lunik: The CIA’s plot to steal a Soviet satellite (2021)
There really isn't a huge advantage for 3 phase unless you are doing high-power DC rectification or trying to run a motor.

The US grid is basically 3-phase everywhere, but it's neither needed nor cost-effective to run it into the home.

Now, the 400V part is different. That would require less copper (but with a safety cost).
How do you trust matplotlib? Same way: if you need to audit plots, audit the generated source code.
> This is a silly rule to follow, except for the most inexperienced of developers, perhaps.

Perhaps you'd consider me inexperienced though I don't consider myself to be so. I've learned enough times that neither I, nor my colleagues, can accurately predict the future and every time we think we know the cases that code will need to handle in the future we guess wrong more often than not.

What I'm trying to say is until you are sure a piece of code is literally the same or with tiny differences that you can cleanly abstract you shouldn't try to guess how future code will use the abstraction. It's the same rule of mine where I try to never proactively add functionality to a function/piece of code. You think that you are saving your future self (or peers) time but too many times I've see people guess wrong at what extra functionality we will need and then that code never gets touched and/or gets migrated/updated for years before someone realizes there is no calling-code that uses that functionality but we have been dragging it along this whole time.

Could you check everywhere and make sure it's not being used and thus can be removed? Maybe but I understand the desire to make as few changes as possible and preserve the functionality as it was when you first went to edit the code. Overall that's a good idea when making changes and sometimes you don't always know what params all the clients are passing to an endpoint to be sure of if something is still in use or not.
It's really not different in scale. Imagine for a moment how much storage space it would take to store the sensory data that any two year old has experienced. That would absolutely dwarf the text-based world the largest of LLMs have experienced.
Why do we need a conspiracy to explain this? The car exploded next to a flaming drainage ditch on a hot day; if the car was leaking oil, that was a fuse just waiting to be lit. Google "gasoline explosion aftermath" and it will look roughly the same as the car in the video. No specialized weaponry is required to do this.

Sure it could have been an energy weapon. It could have also been grey aliens playing with a box of matches or Chinese quantum micro-nukes. Or the fire could have ignited it, but I guess that's too disappointing of a conclusion to present to YouTube.
Far more common for 3-phase motor loads in residential areas (already an unusual requirement) is the point use of a rotary phase convertor or (more commonly now) variable frequency drive to run the 3-phase motor from the existing split-phase supply.
If you decide to be scammed by enterprise hardware vendors instead of hiring competent people because your management is a bunch of hacks that's your company problem.

Anyway Segate Exos SAS 20TB drive is $409, you can re-do math for "true enterprise" grade hardware. "Enterprise" drive from SAN vendor will be a normal hard drive with some bits in firmware changed so SAN can reject non-SAN-vendor rebrands. They die just the same, we had stacks of them to prove it.

Hell, some of our Intel enterprise NVMes died suspiciously quickly compared to other but that might be a fluke...
You were talking about both but you were mistaken about the rule as well. Your focus on causation suggests you’re struggling with the idea that a second order event stemming from a breach could be compensatory damages, but of course it would fall within consequential damages if causation was found to be sufficiently attenuated.
This does not agree with wikipedia

Roughly, today middle class is directly related to the amount of discretionary income, not assets.

In a perfect world a ring circuit is a clever invention - it offers a circuit that can safely deliver about 7.3kW with hardly any more copper than normally could deliver about 4.6kW.

However in practice they have a hidden failure mode - if you break the ring they will carry on working apparently without problem except it’s quite possible that you now have overheating cables in a wall somewhere. In the real world houses are full of changes (both DIY and professional) that inadvertently break the ring and it’s not at all uncommon to see in a house with even modest refurb works having been done.

It’s 2023 and driving kills like 40,000 people a year.

We’ve been building trillions of dollars of public transit since about the same time as we started building the National highway system. So when exactly does public transit start saving all these lives?

A new train from SF to LA has been in the works since 1996. They are expecting partial completion for $30 billion by 2030 which is projected to carry ~15 million passengers * ~400 miles = 6 billion passenger miles per year.

The fatality rate for passenger cars is ~0.57 per 100 million miles, so eliminating 6 billion passenger miles could be reasonably expected to save about 60 * 0.57 = 34 lives a year out of the ~40,000 that are dying on the roads annually.

This is just rough napkin math showing the scale of the problem would require a roughly $30 trillion investment in public transit to appreciably shift passenger-miles away from passenger cars.

Public transit can be very useful. But it’s clearly not the solution to eliminating driving deaths.
I feel like the ruling just says "futures cannot be less risky than assets" which is a weird call for a judicial review panel to make. Especially since it wasn't financial risk but fraud tracing risk.

I don't believe that is a call they can't make just that the ruling as I read it doesn't really justify it. Simply saying that Greyscale claims it and that was it.

They do say "both are impacted by changes" but that feels like an overly simplistic line to draw to attack an explicit consistent decision by the SEC.
What is wrong with duplication if you can just ask Copilot to deduplicate it whenever you want?
I imagine life like a chain sometimes. With many strong links representing a happy and healthy life. When you have multiple broken links though, you tend to feel lost and broken. Fixing one broken link doesn't do anything, they all need to be fixed (at least somewhat) before you can notice real progress.

But, people tend to have an idea of what needs fixing. The issue is motivation tends to fall off because you don't see progress without a lot of change, and we tend not to see our own progress as clearly as others.

Make relationships you can count on. Try to make every day a non-zero day. Be kind to yourself, if you can't be the parent you needed for yourself, try to be the friend you needed.

Find a therapist. Like most things, having a professional's help will speed things up immeasurably.

Best of luck, it may be the hardest thing you do, but it's worth it.

We are, but we also do that in a pretty unique way. We exclusively proactively recruit people that we think are the best match for a given role. We don't have an in-bound process. This allows us to find the best possible match and skip all of the technical interviewing theatrics. We simply try to convince the people we see as the best fit for the team to join us. I usually offer the job on the first call with a potential hire.
I agree. I've seen Python being taught in Physics and hard science university cursus as an introduction to programming 15+ years ago.

Sometimes we think about the technical reasons and forget of the human and the developmental process that can sometimes have an effect on how things are today. spoiler for the video - its because too many 110v light bulbs were already in place by the time 220v ones were made and it was too expensive/difficult to change. kind of reminds me of why the US never switched to metric.
Will the Universe Ever Stop Expanding?
Yes - though we call them RCDs and they're typically located in the consumer unit. Up until recently they'd be shared across several circuits (a "split" or "dual" RCD consumer unit). Nowadays regs are pushing for each cicruit in the consumer unit to be protected individually by their own RCBO (almost the same thing as an RCD/GFCI)

No, you're just making hasty judgements.

I read scientific papers, articles and references in one pane while keeping GPT open in another pane to help me make the most use out of the knowledge in the quickest timeframe. I frequently browse additional resources in order to corroborate information.

> Python’s math libraries, numpy and pandas make it appealing to academics; Python is simpler and possibly easier to learn; Rails was so popular that it was synonymous with Ruby

Yeah, that’s basically why.

Back in its heyday, Ruby had two basic niches. The bigger one was Rails. Rails is still alive today, but after the move towards richer frontends a lot of the hype, and consequently the developers, followed that trend into the JS world. It’s obviously possible to have rich React frontends and Rails backends if you want to, but that isn’t quite what you got with “omakase” Rails.

The other niche was in devops tooling, e.g. Chef and Puppet. But that space moved towards containerization and all of that tooling, more or less, got written in Go.

I don't mind paying for tools I'm using to get the job done. But ignorant remarks in the tone of 'drop the crap you're using, no matter what it is, and install Linux' were maybe good 30 years ago, now it's just kinda disrespectful. People have various reasons to use their tools and it's not because they don't know Linux exists.
To the degree that people were explicitly told that they'd be able to work from home indefinitely, it certainly deserves more than an "Oops. We changed our mind."

On the other hand, during the pandemic, companies (somewhat understandably) made a lot of fairly vague and open-ended statements about future plans and a lot of employees read those statements in accordance with what they wanted to be the case even if it was far from set in stone.

When an abstraction evolves to a point where it needs to be split into two separate implementations to meet diverging needs…

you will need to replace that abstraction with duplication.

Which is the right thing to do because that duplication is cheaper than maintaining the wrong abstraction.

I think this post makes the mistake of thinking that the only way in which duplication comes up is that it is discovered in the codebase, and we have the choice of abstracting it away or keeping it.

On the contrary, duplication can - and should - be consciously introduced to fix bad abstractions when we find them in the codebase.

No, 120V is the nominal RMS voltage; the peak is 120V*sqrt(2)≈170V.
I was disappointed to see the use of ZeroGPT in this article as well. A mushroom foraging guide should be written by a properly credentialed expert. A journalist should be able to contact that expert and verify that they wrote the book. That's what's necessary here, not the use of anti-AI tools. And that's what the article does later with "Dr. Kimberly Thorpe". ZeroGPT was not necessary at all.

> Simple boilerplate is repetitive and boring, but man would it be so much easier to read

Yep, and I'll fully admit when I first started out I hated this idea and wanted everything to be super-DRY but I've swung back in the opposite direction (or at least to a good mean). I had a developer ask why we had some boilerplate semi-recently when the function in question was simply calling another function on the parent class, why not just call the parent function directly (it was protected, they wanted to just make it public). I explained that yes, right now we were doing a straight pass-through essentially (this was for a CRUD layer) but that we had learned over and over that over time we needed to add in things like business logic, validation, or data migrations and this way we just needed to change our "intermediate" function instead of adding one later and having to change all the places that were calling the "direct" function. Same idea as with getters/setters, yes you don't "need" them always when you first write them but having those hooks are invaluable down the line.
OpenAI is listed as a customer on the homepage. One of the names that flits through their "trusted by" carousel.
Sure (although I can't find anything like that on vlang.io myself), but your post was that "[n]one of the claims in this article are relevant now."

It is still relevant that autofree does not work on heap-allocated structs. In particular, this is relevant to the day-to-day usage of the V programming language.

Whether this is well-documented by V itself does not change that it is relevant, in my opinion.
From an economic standpoint, the Wikipedia definition is correct. From a sociopolitical angle, especially a cultural one, it’s quite different.

Broadly, what constitutes a middle class depends on the society we are observing. Every society has its elites. Some had slaves, some have destitutes. In between is gradation defined, variously, by income, assets, education and lineage. (See the history section; modern/British middle class was originally defined by education.)

In America, discretionary income is a good definition because most people have a reasonable expectation of lifelong economic stability. (We gripe when it isn’t improving.) In Europe (and most of the world), the asset test is far more sturdy. And even within America, you see this vary.

Nationalized industry sucks. Every time we try it, ultimately we get worse off. But if you're saying that we need to have a carbon trading market or some other such strong regulation that includes externalities, yes we definitely should. In the US, conservatives used to believe in market-based approaches to solving big problems. Now they just deny the problems exist. This is the mindset of a child, not an adult. Grown ups own their mistakes and solve the problems, they don't point fingers and deny they exist.

Open source implementation of Microsoft's VALL-E X TTS voice cloning model
Thinking that having dedicated independent circuits is madness sounds like Stockholm syndrome. The point being a single faulty appliance won't knock out the lights and sockets to half the house simultaneously (a common occurrence during a fault in the UK, especially the RCD). It's also quite convenient to switch off a single appliance for service. Yes British sockets are all switched but not necessarily in a convenient location.

A software analogy would be running all your services on separate VMs, as opposed to running them all on a single server which could go down at once.

Brits don't even put outlets in the bathroom, minus a current-limited transformer-isolated one for an electric razor.

Nitpick: a cooktop is just the burners, a range is an appliance with burners and an oven. It's relatively common on newer houses to separate them. E.g. I have a 36 inch induction cooktop and a completely separate double wall oven in another area of the kitchen.

AFAIK stovetop is also sometimes used when people mean cooktop, though in my area it's more often a casual reference to the burners of a range. I'm sure that convention varies wildly across the country.

I am a developer from Gradient. I think the most interesting use case of our product is interactive few-shot fine-tuning in a Jupyter Notebook. When fine-tuning a model with less than 10 samples and around 3 epoch, it can learn knowledge in a couple of seconds, then you can immediately get the fine-tuned model.

The experience is like to be your model's private tutor. It just continuously learns new things you told it, like a life.

Be cautious about your learning rate, or it will go mad.
Good point. The same can be said of the Roman Republic and classical Athens.
To offer a slightly different perspective than just "ecosystem", I learned Ruby a few years after Python, and found it kind of annoying, in that many Ruby programmers tend to invent their own DSLs and little hacks because the language is so flexible. I know many programmers love Ruby for class_eval, but it really makes codebases hard to read, and code is read more than it is written.

Python has honestly had some opportunities to die out (2->3 transition, type hinting missteps, incredibly slow, etc.) but survived because writing extensions was always easy and it was taught a lot in universities.

Edison originally purchased others' dynamos, especially Wallace-Farmer, which was 110V (DC):

So Edison's long-legged Mary-Ann was also 110V:

Light bulbs in the early 1900s were first designed for lower voltages, and the grid slowly raised things over time, but at some point they couldn't go any higher because it would start blowing things, so they were 'stuck' in the 110-120V range.
At least in the German-speaking market there exist said solutions, but they are not very common (yet?). I believe keeping 4L at near boiling temperature is still less efficient than individually heating and it takes less than a minute with 3kW.

> Have you played with Mojo?

Does Python “feel high level”?

Mojo is a proper superset of Python.

Particular functions may deal with low-level machine features, that is unavoidable when extracting maximum performance from hardware. Mojo is pursuing some innovative ideas there, such as autotuning and adaptive compilation.

As I said in a different post, I don’t think Mojo’s main audience is the general Python community, it’s the AI, real time, embedded, safety critical, HPC, and yes, gaming, communities that’ll likely benefit the most.
