So I watch every PF video, and I have to defend him a little bit. Todd's videos are orders of _magnitude_ better than the garbage that Consumer Reports, Wirecutter, and other so-call "professional" review outfits provide. Not just in quality, but quantity even.

The first thing I will say is that water filters are not Todd's core competency. He usually tests motor oils and tools, so water filters are certainly out in left field for him.

He can't test every dimension of a product, partly due to lack of time and partly because he can't cheaply/easily test every scenario. TDS is mainly what people buy water filters for. Yes, SOME people want to filter flouride and bacteria but these are uncommon. (Flouride because it's generally safe to drink in municipal tap water, and bacteria because most water has flouride or comes from a sterile well.)

Even I would like to see him do more in-depth testing of some tools, but he does a good job overall of testing whether most products stand up to the maker's claims and whether they survive typical use. (It's surprising how many do not.) I'd personally like to see teardowns and subjective assessments of build quality along with more punishing longevity tests but I know that is asking quite a lot on top of what he already does.

Plus, the YouTube Recommendation AI demands weekly uploads and a constant stream of engagement from your viewers, or else your channel gets sent straight to the dark, sweaty backlot of obscurity and your funding along with it.
Did they really boast about curation? I’d rather choose my own recordings to listen to.
I don't think spot pricing for electricity is all that simple.

I don't think it's really reasonable for households to pay the raw spot pricing. Someone else (utility company? government?) should be backstopping the prices for them. Time of use pricing based on typical prices seems reasonable enough.

For large industrial consumers, sure; let them pay based on actual costs, and they'll adjust their peaks to save money, which helps even out the supply/demand, which is great.

For electricity producers, spot pricing isn't really enough either, though. There needs to be some compensation for available capacity as well as generation.

I agree that it makes sense to try to decouple solar and storage though. Storage's ability to move capacity from peak generation to other times is valuable and should be compensated, and there's no reason to tie it to generation.
Frankly? Yes soaking up power is difficult, you need loads of hardware. Put too much power into something and it blows up.

Unless you want to invest vast sums in energy storage then this is quite an efficient option.
Is Substack still a “smart” place? I’m not a frequent reader of the site.

Usually these blogging platforms go through a process where they are unpopular, so the only people using them are the ones that are actually doing interesting things in a space, which makes them popular, and causes a bunch of hangers-on who are “interested” and maybe even well read in topics, but not actually practitioners, to show up. Of course non-practitioners naturally have an advantage when blogging, because they don’t have to waste time actually doing things, and their opinions can be as contrarian and exciting as necessary, since they aren’t based on reality.

Anyway, politics discourse is in a pretty dumb spot nowadays, so it couldn’t really hurt for Substack to take a swing at it. But where’s Substack on that treadmill? If it is still near the beginning, it could be good. If it has been endumbified, eh, ok.
In theory, yes. In practice, I need to heat my house to at least 60F (16C) while my family is asleep in it more or less regardless of what it costs.
I'm not conversant with Wayland technical intricacies. I use Plasma; Wayland works OK for me and in many respects feels like an improvement over X11, but I still have two gripes:

- Last time I checked, I could not share my screen over Zoom. This could have been fixed now. (I know, it's a proprietary application but still...)

- My favorite screenshot application (KSnip) still has reduced functionality over Wayland.

I think these issues are representative of many users' experiences, that is, things usually work as usual or improved, but there are some corner cases where there are annoyances. Let's hope they will get sorted out.

People have no desire to donate organs only to have them go to people they might not like or wish were dead. Why give up a kidney to some baby boomer whose generation ravaged the Earth and left their children so poor? We must grow organs from scratch.
I have been on 7Mbps / 1Mbps until 2021. Moved in with GF, she had 100Mbps ADSL which blew my mind. Now we have 2.5Gbps FTTH and I feel blessed. I'm moving to a slightly remote place soon which has 200Mbps FWA, and still it blows my mind. I can't imagine having 25Gbps at home. Insane.

Downloads matter up to an extent. What still gives me day 1 shivers is 600Mbps upload after years at 1, and sub-10ms latency.

I'm not sure if you have a particular film in mind, but it's not uncommon for critically acclaimed films to be box office bombs. If you're talking about non-contemporary films, it's also worth considering that different films have become cult classics or fallen out of favor. Plus, they way RT calculates each score is different. There's lots of reasons why the percentage of critics who give a movie a "thumbs up" might be different from the viewers' average score on a scale of 1-100.
> I'm surprised CA would allow such a thing as the new NET 3.0 crap.

The CA legislature actually required that a change be made with AB 327. The details were ultimately up to CPUC, but CPUC was attempting to meet the broad goals of the legislature in making this change.

Additional power produced during times of peak solar insolation is not very useful to the grid because of all the existing solar and is most useful during the late afternoon and early evening when demand is high but solar output is low. Maintaining the grid costs money independent of the cost of electricity generation and under the old rules solar customers were effectively subsidized by non-solar customers. Since non-solar customers are on average poorer than solar customers (owning your home is generally a per-requisite after all) this amounted to a regressive transfer.

EDIT: Fixed wording in sentence about customer cross-subsidy
I don't really agree. This is a desktop machine so it will be staying put. It has thunderbolt 4 which can exceed 3GB/s (24Gbps) on external SSDs. Don't think that expansion is useless

Weird. I think I'm a bit of both. Which probably explains a lot why some "guessers" have a hard time with me sometimes.
It doesn't have a linux version, so unless you're a gamer it's not worth the effort to get it running unless something has changed... Last time I found it easier to just download the UE5 source to mess around with it. Afterwards, it seems like I needed the Epic client for other reasons. I'm guessing there could be legitimate barriers although it's been a long time for me. Currently I'm downloading the new UE5 source again and take another stab at getting the Epic client running.
Whether someone truly cares about an issue or whether they are pretending to care, if the outcome is the same then does it actually matter?
I grew up in Texas. I honestly think the main problem with the politics there is that they have never had to deal with limited resources, basically ever. Food, water, fuel, land, education, basically everything a society could want was bountiful there. In my lifetime however, that has changed in certain areas.

One of the reasons why I'm so obsessed with transportation alternatives is that I came of age as Austin went from an arguably perfect highway capacity, then suddenly tipped into an unfixable accelerating traffic nightmare. Watching a finite resource (highway capacity) suddenly cross a depletion threshold, and cascade out of control really effected me. Once it happens, nothing can really be done about it except at enormous cost.

We are now seeing the same happening with power capacity. We will soon see it with water as the Ogallala Aquifer disappears.

The type of politically palatable libertarianism that thrives in most of Texas, require effectively unlimited access to resources.
That's why I don't use GPT.
I happily have two solar systems and I have wondered this for a long time. Why can't I buy electricity generated from PV panels that an energy provider operates without putting those panels on my house? Why isn't the price to buy solar generated electricity from my utility company comparable to buying from a roof top solar company? I would assume that installing bespoke aftermarket systems one house at a time would not have a cost advantage over a project built to scale? I don't want to operate my own utility, just buy cheaper greener power.
I always knew this was the case, it was a huge hunch I had from the Spiderman/Venom fiasco.

Was Amazing Spiderman incredible? no it was far from it, was Venom 1 good? it was good except the last fight, literally.

Yet its rating was 30%. (audience 80%)

Morbius as much as I hated the actor personally, I liked the movie, it felt like spiderman 1 in a way, the cinematic shots were better than anything Marvel has done in years.

Yet they all get horribly rated, Black Adam was I felt, good, more interesting and better CGI than literally every Marvel movie since maybe endgame, yet it was critically butchered.

NOBODY can tell me that Disney doesn't weaponize critics.

(For people who do not get it, review bombing Sony produced Marvel movies made them do worse at box office which in turn made Sony or forced Sony to give the rights back to Marvel).
This is an unusually nice website, but if you like this, check your own city, they might have one too! For example, here's:

Yup, I got the exact same impression.

If this was actually above board and helpful, they wouldn't need any kind of coalition to do it, they would just build solar and sell it. But no, they are trying to do the easy part, and let the hard part fall on others.

And it doesn't help that they have requirements relating to the income of the end consumer! That's a sure sign of something that isn't useful on its own, rather they have other goals.

This is really interesting for me to read. I encountered a DMA lockup in the hardware by an Ethernet MAC implementation on an ARM chip. It was a Synopsys Designware MAC implementation. It would specifically lockup when PTP was enabled. From my testing, it seemed like it would specifically lockup if some internal queue was overrun. This was speculation on my part, because it would only lockup if I tried to enable timestamping on all packets. It seemed to work alright if the hardware filter was used to only timestamp PTP packets. This can be a significant limitation though, as it can prevent PTP from working with VLANs or DSA switch tags, since the hardware can't identify PTP packets with those extra prefixes.

The PTP timestamps would arrive as a separate DMA transaction after the packet DMA transaction. It very possibly could have been poor integration into the ARM SOC, but your PTP-specific issue on x86 makes me wonder.

The specifics in CA are, the utilities want rich customers to subsidize the grid costs for poor customers. That is, you will pay for your grid connection based on your income, not usage.
Given Lattner's record, I think it would be a bad assumption to think it will stay closed.
Not weird when you consider what is, and what is not a proportionate mitigation of a threat.

When someone gets mugged on your street, you can consider taking precautions. If your response is to roll out half a mile of barbed wire, electric fencing, and landmines all through the perimeter of your property, I would say that is absolutely 'upplaying' the actual level of threat.

Most Americans' understanding of the actual threat posed to the US by NK is ludicrously upplayed. NK is a credible offensive threat to SK, but that's a very limited problem for anyone living in Nashville, Tennessee.
You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

The elastic region (there can only be one) is the range where a material has a linear relationship of tensile stress and strain. Every plastic and every solid has such a region, it is part of the definition of a solid. Again, the Young's modulus is just the slope of the curve at zero, it is mathematically impossible not to have one. All but the most brittle of materials have non linear stress strain relationships, and for FEA all materials use a look up table instead of using a constant value, because that's the point of FEA. Non-newtonian behavior is completely unrelated, instead dealing with a material's stress and time relationship, and again is not exclusive to plastics.

Again, the terms plastic as in deformation and plastic as in the material are an etymological coincidence and don't have anything to do with one another.
>The ONLY piece of information that is available to you regardless of how deep you are into a function is INDENTATION.

...No? It sounds like you write very long, messy code blocks. Consider the following example, I will write a nested loop in 2 languages:

In Python:

for _ in range(10):
for _ in range(10):
print("Inner")
print("Outer")

Here's something similar in JS:

for (const _ of foo) {
for (const _ of foo) {
console.log("Inner");
}
console.log("Outer");
}

In isolation, while I'm writing this comment, I would say these code blocks are equally easy to parse. In the context of frantically debugging, scurrying around a file, I may (and have!) missed the indentation difference in the Python example.

Curly braces allow me to have 3 visual indicators that a block is finished: a visual text object (the brace itself), an extra line separator (the closing brace lives on its own line), and indentation. In Python, I only have one of those things (just indentation). I can have 2 (indentation + line sparation) if I always insert a newline before `print("Outer")`, but empty lines can get deleted and I may forget to include them as I write code. You'd need to configure a linter to guarantee the line separation indicator in a language that delimits scopes by whitespace.

> But my god, what if the community had gravitated to a better language [for these purposes] in the first place? How much further along would we be in our tooling and capabilities to deliver value?

Better in what regard? Performance? Maybe there are more important things than performance, like ease of use and barriers to entry.

People in this space already tackle essentially complex problems, don't throw more accidental complexity in the form of "better" or more performant languages/APIs.
Maybe, but that’s potentially slower and definitely much more expensive. A lot of people in those environments can get a $6k workstation a lot faster than a compute cluster which has to be supported, secured, etc.

More often than you'd think.

Young infosec practitioners are encouraged to get certifications, OSCP, eJPT, etc. A lot of these cert mills require that you pwn known boxes. This gives rise to discord servers where you can "help eachother". Some of this help is in the form of binaries or obfuscated source code.

They run it on their pentest job laptop, you know, the one with the SSH keys to their report writing box. They get pwnd, and now DPRK has access to a bunch of US civilian corporate data and weaknesses.

I may have actually witnessed this.
Most of these guys gave back in the day the new star wars movies good reviews, I don't trust them, I don't trust anyone who I go and see a movie and see it is complete and absolute garbanzo and yet this "acclaimed critic" is completely ignoring all its flaws, especially if said movie comes from a property related to Disney.
I'm really fond of pre-/early space age books on spacefaring. Have a couple myself from the Soviet side of things.

> I'm surprised people still use LinkedIn, in spite of knowing how scummy they are.

Linkedin is great, at what it's for. As much as I dislike the "you're holding it wrong" argument, if anyone is posting personal information on linkedin and expecting it to be private, they are doing it wrong. That's not the purpose of linkedin.

> the same people who wouldn't hesitate to criticize Meta for their privacy violations

Certainly. The intent of facebook is to post private information about personal life and share it only with friends. Whenever they violate that trust, there's plenty to criticize.

With linkedin the purpose is to post public professional info with the goal of advertising yourself to the world. There's no privacy violation because the goal was to be public.
> and replace the other with 2 or 4 paternoster cars.

Why 2 or 4? The whole idea of a paternoster is that there always is a car at every floor (see the animation and videos at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paternoster_lift)

If there wasn’t, they would be really dangerous, as you could step into the elevator shaft while the nearest car was ten floors down.
Isn't the advantage of ranking in support of what you're saying?

If, in the future, your tastes change, a few things get ranked "above" what formerly held your top slot. The top slot was never "200 absolute points," it was just "the highest single ranking"

Although, I do see the coarseness of a new #1 bumping everything down … and forcing a reconsideration of whole blocks of rankings … arriving at "groups" … and basically a star system.

> It's likely that generative AI in general will be deemed fair use

Everybody seems to be saying this, but I really don't think there's even 50% chance of it happening.

Google books was fair use because it was a public benefit and did not take away from publishers or authors, to the contrary it helped people find their works.

Compare generative AI which extracts the essence of people's works and recreates similar works (in terms of style, etc) while cutting out the original authors completely. This potentially denies them the fruits of their labor. It's notable that it's a purely mechanical process and no human creativity is involved, except that which is extracted from other authors. Mere prompts don't count.

The argument you're suggesting will hold is essentially "yes we're using copyrighted works, but we're doing it at scale and blending it, so that's ok".
