> Sylvester, the cowboy mummy

This story sounded so cool, I just looked it up. Unfortunately, the bullet hole is apparently fake and the reason he didn't decay is because an embalmer deliberately mummified him immediately after his death by injecting him with an arsenic-based fluid, which killed off all the bacteria and insects invading the body.

Can't change DNS without causing problems. Many moons ago, I tried CF DNS when I was evaluating dnscrypt, but it and dnscrypt broke too many things because of how Anycast works.
Modal Realism was the inspiration for the somewhat infamous, slightly tongue-in-cheek "Possible Girls" paper where Neil Sinhababu argues that people across different modal realities can fall in love with each other (and that explains imaginary relationships)

You are concern trolling. The negative effects of lithium mining and refining is completely trivial compared to the increasingly uninhabitable planet that more CO2 emissions will lead to.
I've already addressed all of these questions. Bottom line is if your stance made your life more difficult while making workers lives easier, I'd be more inclined to listen and take what you say seriously. But it doesn't. The workers earn less and conveniently you get to keep more money in your pocket, all while you get to tell yourself and anyone who will listen that you are fighting racism and exploitation or whatever.

Ok, I'm done with this conversation. I will read whatever response you have and it will likely be the last word.

Most people don't encounter enough Australians to know this, but the #1 way to identify an Australian is their absurd patriotic complex about how they're the only country with good coffee. This universally comes with insulting Starbucks, which is the only non-Australian coffee they seem to know about.

It's true that Melbourne does have good coffee, but the city is basically an accidental reinvention of Seattle. But they don't know this since they haven't been to Seattle.

Generally I feel like people in the coffee production chain give too much credit to James Hoffman types and/or baristas with man buns and not any credit to the actual farmers.

In the early to mid nineties I worked in Tokyo outer suburbs on and off for a bit - working ridiculous hours. One fond-in-retrospect memory is in the late evening or early AM hours going up to a vending machine on the train platform, getting a nice hot can of coffee and sticking it and my hands in my coat pockets to keep warm until the train got there. Then once in the heated carriage cracking it open and drinking it to keep me awake for the ride back to the hotel.

I assume that asking "do you care?" will give you "no" quite often. But asking "do you want to see ads?" will give you an equal amount of "no" if not more. Or asking "do you want to block ads?" will give you a lots of "yes". It's all in the question, as over 50% of all savvy marketeers will know.

That's probably the reason why even the people in the marketing department of my last tech lead gig run adblockers on their Macs. They used to not do that but as one of them recently told me "the internet has turned to shit". I had the feeling the irony of the situation was not lost on him, but he was unable to verbalize it.

I also recall a company where the IT just rolled out an adblocker one day (in 2018 or so) to about a 1000 seats and it was the talk of the week in the cafeteria because the internet had become sooo much better.

Sure, these are individual experiences with little statistical value. They confirm my bias that people, given a choice, would like to see less ads. Most of them don't know they have a choice beyond "seeing ads" and "not using the internet", so they submit. Show them more choices and they gladly chose less ads.

Steppers are super optimized for being super precise and easy to controle while being (relatively) cheap to build.

They have weird "trick" geometry that means you can move the rotor to many different angles (tens, hundreds) with far fewer stator windings.

The cost of this is really low power and efficincy if you just want to spin them.
I meant outperform in a general sense. It could be on cost-effectiveness, especially for low-margin chips. It would mean he'd invest in companies that make this transition, but I expect almost all low-margin producers to make this shift. High-margin we're probably looking at proprietary ISA extensions that they don't open source.

Inductive coupling in an ASM is at the drive frequency (hundreds of Hz), inductive coupling in an inductive electrically excited SM can work at an arbitrary frequency, e.g. 100 kHz. You can also see in the ZF release how small the coils for transferring the excitation current are compared to the main windings, they are the small rings on the left side.

The most usual kind of motor with permanent magnets, is just a synchronous motor, where, in order to remove the power supply needed by the rotor windings, the rotor windings are replaced by permanent magnets.

Here, in order to achieve the same brushless operation like when using permanent magnets, the rotor windings are kept, but the electrical current needed by them is transmitted to the rotor wirelessly.

For this to work, I suppose that the rotor includes some kind of semiconductor rectifiers and the rotor current is induced at a frequency much higher than the rotation frequency.

This should indeed have characteristics similar to the permanent magnet motors, except that it is not clear if the energy efficiency can be equally good.

A permanent magnet rotor is equivalent with a rotor having superconducting windings, so it has no losses due to the electrical excitation currents (though it may have losses due to other causes, e.g. hysteresis and eddy currents).

This motor will have extra losses in the copper windings of the rotor and in whatever kind of rectifiers it uses.

Nevertheless, perhaps these extra losses are small, so the efficiency can be much higher than that of asynchronous motors (like initially used by Tesla) and only a little lower than that of the permanent magnet motors.

Nice - if I get some time this week I'm going to give it a try out, I've even got a little project coming up that it appears to fit nicely.
Yes, but these ones with externally excited wound rotors have the advantage of more torque and efficiency at compact packages but have had the disadvantage of brushes that would wear out, create carbon dust and electrical noise.
> The consequences of an airplane not having a flight plan is not “10s or 100s of people dying”

The consequence of not being able to route a flight through reasonably congested airspace safely may well be "10s or 100s of people dying".

> when they arrive without a flight plan in the system

They had a flight plan but the system could not verify that it had correct data. i.e. the system believe it had internal corruption and should shut down.

> What would you think of a server where a single weird edge case request would stop the whole service for hours?

What would you think of a service where internal checks suggested corruption and it kept on serving potential corrupt data to customers and writing it to databases? I would consider that a failure in extremis.

> Given a person, define “God” to be the mean opinion vector, taken over the members of this person’s tribe.

Most people on the planet would have an opinion that “having more money” is a good thing. Does this mean money is god for most people? Money has the ability to bring power, happiness, peace of mind. It also has the ability to bring suffering, anxiety, worry. All these are things that happen to people who believe in a god or multiple gods.

Instead of looking for shared opinions, it may be better to look at the human condition and the sheer uncertainty of bad events and good events. That things can be, and frequently are, out of our control is what makes people create gods as a support system.

Lots of carbon have already been captured, in the form of the fossil fuels that remain underground. What we need to do is to stop releasing it into our atmosphere. Once that is largely done, we can start talking about the much more costly process of recapturing it from the atmosphere.
I've been on a similar quest but my purpose was to eliminate distraction, and becoming more productive was just a side-effect.

i3 (actually sway) helps me with focusing only at those windows that belong to a specific task, and often in full-screen. if I must use a GUI browser which has tabs and constant distraction then I can do so, but the context switch isn't "just mental" but I have to change over to another virtal desktop. this sounds hardly revolutionary (virtual desktops are also in KDE and Gnome). But it is a lot more "painful" than having everything in front of me at all times using 3 monitors. It also makes me actively aware (!!) that a context switch is happening, and so I end up allowing it less, and force myself to finish what I'm doing before attending to some interruption. there is no taskbar no dbus-popups.

I even use my device for undistracted reading of books multiple hours at the time, without snacking on HN content inbetween. (although for this I've started using another cheap old laptop that does not have network and is only running a few things (zathura for reading PDF's and calibre for converting from different formats). -> hardware compartmentalization FTW

generally leaving fullscreen and reconnecting the network and switching to another desktop is just too many steps and i now only break my concentration with a total awareness of it happening.

It honestly changed my life, made me more focused, less anxious, and more in control. Def not going back to the illusion of being productive just because I'm juggling everything at once ...
That's an interesting subject to think about and discuss. I think the existing legal system is already equipped with the precedents it needs to handle some aspects of such situations.
The idea of someone carrying out a crime via a proxy is not new; the main difference now is that the proxy may be an AI.

I think something which is new though is the question of who should take responsibility for the AI's actions? If a crime is committed via a proxy, then both parties will be charged. So it doesn't make sense to entirely just waive away the AI's responsibility in the crime just as it doesn't make sense to acquit the person/proxy who carried out the crime on behalf of someone else.

I think the answer is that the company(ies) which trained and/or operated the company behind the AI should also be held partially responsible for the crime.
Otherwise we could end up with a situation whereby some companies are intentionally creating malicious bots which are trained to intentionally misinterpret benign-sounding language as orders of a more sinister nature in order to shield 'the customer' from criminal liability.

I'm much more worried about the consequences of humans being under-punished rather than over-punished.

Neglecting the role of AI companies seems like a sure way to bring about human extinction. We cannot allow all liability to be shifted to non-human entities. We need a better, more fine-grained way to attribute and punish shared and partial liability.

We should think in a more fine-grained way. For example, if someone throws out a plastic Coca Cola bottle on the ground, who is responsible for littering? Obviously the person who threw away the bottle is mostly responsible but isn't Coca Cola company also slightly responsible for having made their bottles out of plastic (which doesn't break down easily; thus worsening the impact of the littering)? Surely they could just have sold metal cans and glass bottles.

It's very hit-or-miss in my experience. Some vending machines are immaculate, but the exact same type of machine by the same owner e.g. at another station can have their glass broken, have chewing gum put into it's mechanism for weeks, mystery liquids in the output, etc.

Anecdata, but a vending machine at the local rapid transit station (one of those two-sided hot drinks / soups and snacks combo machines) had its output chute filled with (very visible and smellable, probably human) feces for a week after(!) calling the service number and only then the owner cleaned it. Mhhh. Didn't inspire confidence in their general cleaning routine, for me.

I have no idea how our machines stack up against the ones from Japan or other parts of the world in the vandalism department, though, in practise and outside of city centres. They might face similar problems, I don't know.
This sounds like it's an induction motor where the inductors are on the spinning part (the rotor - or maybe in both?)

People are downplaying this, but I'm not so sure (yes I know about synchronous motors, etc), but there sure it is covered in marketing fluff (which is not wrong per se - if tesla passes gas people would have been all over it)
I was responding to when you said “before we make any more big, environmentally hazardous mines”.

The recycling effort is highly profitable, there’s little need to subsidize it. It will simply grow and consume all available supply.

Large scale lithium battery storage is still truly just getting started. We need to be super smart with lining up supply for essential inputs for growth.

I wish. YIMBYs have not managed to do anything of consequence. It's naive and far too premature to declare that things are turning in the right direction.

75% of new housing is single family homes. We're building the same unsustainable housing stock, with the same sprawl, that results in crazy prices. This isn't a win.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-single-family-housing-st...

The California ADU "win" is inconsequential. California is down 3-4 million units. We're talking about 20k ADUs per year. California needs to build 300k-400k+ units per year. Building at such a low rate is a NIMBY win!

In my extremely left Massachusetts town NIMBYs just killed 1000 units of new housing and turned them into hundreds of thousands of square feet of lab space. All because they don't want anyone to change the character of the neighborhood. Better to have a lab building than to accept an equally sized building with new people in it.

Heck, in the town nextdoor they just voted against new bikeway on land that is already owned by the state (disused rail trail) and fully paid by the state. All this would have done is raise people's home values. And this isn't a one off, it's happened regularly in the state for years now.

NIMBYs are definitely winning. All of the basic statistics show this no matter where you look.
Pollution, desertification, ocean acidification, habitat destruction are as great, if not greater concerns, and yet here we are, picking a single metric as if changing that alone will solve everything.
Now, that is a different take. You have been able to convince them. It's not like they realized this themselves, or that they deduced something from the numbers.

Again, only my experience at past employers, but in a lot of cases the developers don't get heard when making these suggestions.
>what could make such a design better than a traditional inductive motor

Traditional induction motors, compared to these with wound rotors, are heavier and bigger in size for the same power output, and have less efficiency especially at starting/low-speeds.
Indeed. We have also replaced doors/windows, the latter having trickle vents.

> It seems something the security services and the control freaks in government want

i am writing this comment again: it's not the government that is pushing this. it's all the NGOs, various civil society organisation, even the opposition criticises the government for not going far enough (they wanted jail sentences for CEOs, making VPNs illegal, etc). and polls point to massive support for this from the locals.

it's not the government, it's society that wants this.
