My thought would be buying modular battery packs so you can start small, save some money, buy more, then just keep adding them in month-after-month.

Start with 50 km range at beginning, end up with 500 km range by the end of the year.

Would also enforce positive replacement and recycling procedures by creating a standard modular power unit.

Arguably doable, but I doubt any manufacturer or EV will ever tolerate such easy mod-ability or repair-ability. They live to destroy any attempts by the consumer knowing how to service their own property.
New Zealand imports most of its grain and feed. A good chunk of those imports come from the United States.

> New Zealand grain and feed import volumes in 2022 rose to the highest level ever, importing 3.7 million metric tons (MMT), up 13 percent from the previous year. National grain and feed demand continues to outstrip domestic supply by nearly double, with New Zealand producing 2.1 MMT in 2022, but consuming an estimated 5.8 MMT. Dairy farming continues to dominate as the largest consumer, accounting for about 75 percent, followed by poultry (12 percent) and then human consumption (nine percent). Strong recent record milk prices have stimulated demand from the dairy industry in order to boost production. For human consumption, and processing, New Zealand produces milling wheat, oats, and malting barley, but also still imports milling wheat sourced from Australia, its closest neighbor.

> Palm Kernel Extract (PKE) continues to be the largest imported feed (54 percent of imports), sourced from Indonesia and Malaysia, destined specifically for the dairy sector. In addition, Distiller's Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS) is a high growth import market from the United States, as well as soybean meal from South America.

Hold on, let me turn my TeamOS/2 mug around so it can't see me type this...

Firstly, NeXTStep came out in 1989, and had both preemptive multitasking and threads, and OS X 1.0 didn't really improve on NeXTStep in that area at all.

Secondly, while OS/2 1.0 had threads and preemption, it was text-only and had to run on IBM AT 80286 PCs so most of that technological might was wasted. It would be 1990 before it had a real GUI. And it would be nearly 1992 before OS/2 was 32-bit.

Police in France is something like 1 per 3000 or 6000 inhabitants. In USA it’s more around 1 per 300.

Which gives the ridiculous (to us) dozens of police cars flocking around a single criminal.

I love the idea! I think htmx occupies a very interesting skill-set/use-case niche and I think an RSS reader is a cool example of that.

One piece of feedback: the UI would feel more snappy if there was a way of applying optimistic updates/signalling to the user the loading state. I'm not an htmx expert but I think you can do that with alpine.

Example:

When I click on the feed item, there's a short delay before the UI updates itself with page content. Sometimes the delay can take a few seconds.

Ideally, I'd see a simple loading indicator or an animation signalling the loading state, even greying out the element would be enough.

(In that particular case you could probably cheat a bit with CSS, by styling the :active state of the list item element, and then adding a very slow transition. But, that doesn't solve the general issue)

Edit:

Thanks @anyone explaining that this is achievable with `hx-indicator`. I never learn by just reading the docs so I guess I need to build sth with htmx.
This seems like a no-brainer to me. Every book I've read on popular scientists showed their spiritual side. Carl Sagan's "The Demon-Haunted World" goes through this in-depth. One of my favorite quotes in it is:

“Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.”

- Carl Sagan

Windows NT was practically the perfectly timed investment because Microsoft also had the MS-DOS + Windows product to tide over the mass market while Moore’s law ensured it would eventually catch up with the much better foundation in NT. Bill Gates deserves credit for having the foresight to hire in 1988 the best people to design an operating system that wouldn’t shine until the hardware of 1998.

There’s no way NT “almost killed Microsoft” because Windows 3.x was a money printer. And if that hadn’t happened, Microsoft wouldn’t have exited the OS/2 relationship.

Windows NT was originally meant to be OS/2 3.0. In the worst-case scenario they could have stuck with that plan and played the role IBM had designed for them, which would also have been lucrative (although nothing like the bonanza of the desktop monopoly they had by the late 1990s).

I agree that it seems like a weird distribution of time for someone senior. It's fine and good to mentor juniors or pair some of the time but I think that in general pairing is net less effective than two people working individually. Seniors certainly and usually team leads are expected to deliver some individual work product. You can definitely help make teammates more effective without spending all of your time on their shoulder.

Also: the business established a metric it wanted ICs to meet, the guy in the story refused to participate in it at all. At the very least, he's demonstrating resistance to following the expectations of leadership. He might be a good team player at the smallest scope, but great engineers can do that and simultaneously play along with management/biz interests.

(I'll also agree with the article that measuring "story points" or whatever is probably a bad metric, like most measures of software productivity.)

"Semantic zoom" is a strange phrase because neither of those words describe what is happening (in this article). Note that the demos mostly involve clicking rather than wheel/zoom gestures.

The semantics of regular zoom are clear: scale+translate the viewport.

The semantics of "semantic" "zoom" are undefined. It's really just a smooth UI transition between different views. Those views could be anything, and the transition could be anything. So it's not really clear where "zoom" comes into this, aren't we just talking broadly about nice interactive UI transitions?

Sure, perhaps there is latent design space in using the mouse wheel / zoom gesture to navigate flat GUIs, but what is the accessibility story there?
I’ve not actually looked at the salaries posted on here to be honest. I know one thing, though. You’d need to triple that to get me to anywhere near an office.

Where do your rights begin and another’s end? If they wish to build a product in a way that you dislike, does it not impede their rights for you to inflict your will on them against their wishes?
Yeah, if I understand your point and link: this is not something that actually happened, it's just a joke, but after enough retellings for some reason people think that it is real.
Would be nice, but no one can really do that at the moment.

There are specific tasks (especially character level ones) which are hard due to the tokenizer, but even that isn't all that convincing since there are plenty of character level tasks which GPT-4 can do pretty well.

If you use it a lot you build an intuition for what kinds of tasks it will do well on, but it's not exactly rigorous.

in other words something like 30% of population goes foraging for mushrooms at least once a year and once a year someone dies. It's so rare that they write about it in the newspaper
I don't think it was ever intended or designed to hold up in a natural disaster situation in a populated area though. Every demo or example from Apple involves being hiking out in the middle of nowhere and having a personal emergency.

As a note, information you learn from one place doesn't really apply to another (ie: it's non fungible haha). In Oregon someone from the old country went foraging and died because a fungus here (poisonous) looked like a fungus there (edible).
The issue with styrofoam (polystyrene) is that it leads to microplastics that have been found in human blood.

> The scientists analysed blood samples from 22 anonymous donors, all healthy adults and found plastic particles in 17. Half the samples contained PET plastic, which is commonly used in drinks bottles, while a third contained polystyrene, used for packaging food and other products. A quarter of the blood samples contained polyethylene, from which plastic carrier bags are made.

I was taking a political compass quiz the other day and I was frustrated that I couldn't quite express myself through the multiple choice answers. I have some political beliefs that are hard to express with just "Agree/disagree" sentiments.

It occurred to me while I was trying to explain myself to the multiple choice form that you could use ChatGPT, or similar LLM, for this. My original goal was "interactive questions" - so a question could ask "Do you think a wealth tax is a good idea" and the user could say "What kind of wealth tax, who would it apply to" and so on to refine the question to something they were comfortable answering with a yes/no.

Experimenting with this I discovered that it would actually take a lot of tokens (and therefore money) to have real conversations about the questions. Instead, I changed my vision from "interactive questions" to "short essay responses". Basically, you get a prompt for a political question, write your thoughts about that prompt, and then ChatGPT (3.5 - again, money) grades your essays on two dimensions according to a couple rubrics I wrote for it.

I have shown this to a few people and taken the test a couple times myself. I think it's working reasonably well. At the end of the test you can see how the LLM graded each of your essays and you can click "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" if you agree or disagree with the LLM. So far, I have 44 bits of feedback 5 of which are negative, which suggests to me that, for the most part, the LLM does a good job at grading.

One problem I have already noticed with the concept is that people often write answers that are much too short - e.g. some people will just respond by typing out "Yes", "No", "False" or similar one or two word replies. Such replies kind of defeat the purpose of the essay writing aspect and the LLM does have trouble fully grading them. I'm thinking about requiring a minimum number of words, or having the LLM prompt the user "Why do you think X?".

If I keep working on this one thing I'd like to do is replace the ChatGPT component with Llama 2. My understanding is that Llama 2 should be similar to or slightly better than GPT-3.5, so in my fantasy I can have a dedicated server running a possibly fine-tuned version of Llama 2 that will enable me to use a lot more tokens - grade on more dimensions, have more interactivity with the users, and so on. This probably won't happen though due to the cost of running such a server.

This probably isn't a viable solution for my father who has been on dialysis for 2 years and is in ESRD. I am a candidate for a kidney transplant for him (I went through the whole process), but he has other issues that have been preventing him from having another surgery. I'm pretty scared to do the procedure, too.

But really glad to see progress being made here. Hopefully, also, the world works toward improving diet and starts eliminating metabolic diseases like Type-2 Diabetes and Heart Disease.
Pretty sure wax coatings aren't going to work for a hot cup. Have you ever accidentally put a hot drink into a cold cup (those cold cups that are wax coated)? You're left with a droopy mess of melted wax.
I think I would agree with pretty much all of the above. There is a sort of hierarchy of belief, and quantum mechanics is probably close to the top of that. However, even so, it is still not infallible. It is possible for us to discover a regime where it breaks down and we need a new theory to supplant it.

This is basically what I'm arguing - no matter how accurately our theories line up with observation, we can never be sure that we have reached "the final theory" AKA the truth. I think this is where a lot of misunderstanding and mistrust for science originates. It will never deliver to us the truth - if it did, how would we ever know?

It is a method of getting closer and closer to what we believe is the truth. But there is still a gap there, however small it might be in the case of quantum mechanics. The scientific method by it's very construction is unable to bridge that gap.

Still, to date there does not exist a more effective method we know of as a species at getting closer to what we believe to be the truth. I think the above is a maybe subtle distinction there that is worth pointing out and educating people on. Just sort of making that distinction between the process and the results. That it is the best process we have, but even so, it cannot cross that gap and definitively say "this is the truth". That that is a gap we have to choose whether to cross ourselves with a leap of faith (or sometimes a very tiny hop of faith in the case of quantum mechanics). I think that might help people cement their faith in the process even if they dont necessarily place their faith in the results (in the case of questionable psych studies for example).

> You have forgotten how to focus

It could be due to aging. As people age, it gets harder for the body to release dopamine in anticipation of getting something we done, especially for things that we are familiar with. As a result, one loses focus because of no trickling joy. "Been there done that" in a way is truly a curse.

My own cure is always finding new things to tackle, and tackle only fundamental problems. Of course, my fundamental problem can be trivial to another smarter engineer. The key is to keep myself excited and therefore focused instead of how deep the problem is.

The downside of this approach, though, is that I may have to switch jobs, and I need to work hard to keep myself healthy to have enough energy.
Have a look at Louis Rossmann’s car repair videos.

There is a war going on between government and car manufacturers because they succeeded in side stepping most of the right to repair requirements.

Currently, most new car’s OBD2 ports are somewhat useless because they now use a proprietary wireless communicator to transmit error codes. Apparently, the old right to repair laws didn’t say anything about “wireless communication” so they took the loophole and ran with it.

The days of buying a reasonably affordable scanner and diagnosing and repairing your own vehicle are over. We’re back to square one of forcing them to give us right to repair again. It’s actually really really bad.
You are reading too much in what I said. Of course weird things are happening in an unstable dictatorship like Russia and this guy might have been assassinated for one reason or another. That does not mean it is not nice to give people context about the culture in that end of the world though.

Tyler was not saying there was no point to having that bridge. He was saying given how other bridges were placed according to important landmarks, he did not understand why this one was placed in this location seemingly without any important landmarks.

You can believe more bridges should exist without needing some sort of important landmark and believe that it is strange this bridge was placed in this location without an important landmark given the other bridges were placed in locations with important landmarks. These two things are not mutually exclusive.

Of course it turned out that there was an important landmark (the school/church!) but that was Tyler's thought process.
Strange indeed - sure it is just all coincidence.
Where does "new content" come from? I'm confused as to what part of the legislation makes the concept of "new content" relevant or important. The part of the legislation that I copied for you does not include the words "new content." It's about "making news content available."

How do you ace honor physics and trigonometry, yet struggle to understand algebra? High school physics and trig are basically just coming up with the correct algebraic equation, and then solving it. (Or just turn the crank, my physics teacher always said.) I can understand not knowing calculus for simple physics, since you can just approximate it with the slope of the curve or area under the curve, but that still takes algebra. Trigonometry is just using the various theorems and identities, but even using the Pythagorean theorem takes a little algebra to isolate the variable you want.

I admit math is very easy for me, but it blows my mind that people don't understand algebra at least.
I'm surprised that this number is so low. What a deal these companies get to keep an unnecessary product necessary.
