Yes you can. The good faith question to ask is: is the cost of nuclear higher than renewable +storage?

I don’t know the answer, but renewable +storage is trending down. Nuclear is up. So at some point (which may have already happened) nuclear is just going to be a bad faith argument.
> are people normally actually seeing images, with their eyes, when they imagine what something looks like? Like, the brown-blackness of the back of your eyelids gets replaced with something you actually see, like it's projected there?

No.

>I can imagine what something looks like, and I guess I sort of 'see' it, but closing my eyes doesn't make it any more real. It doesn't seem to involve the eyes or any part of the visual system at all - it's somewhere else in my head.

Yes. That's all it is. Although it does seem to be indirectly related to the visual system, likely whatever part of it lets people "see" things when they dream, despite not actually processing visual stimuli through the eyes. It's just dreaming while awake.
Pumped storage by a country mile - if your countries geography supports it.
You aren't wrong to be curious, but you are going to get unhelpful and emotional answers when asking about this.

You should genuinely read the wikipedia page on this topic: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobotomy it will answer your questions and reveal the horror of what you are asking about and why people respond the way they do.

To sum up though; the procedure was mostly performed on women and children, who were also frequently not aware of what was being done to them (not consenting), on men it was mostly performed on homosexuals. The best case outcomes came at the cost of 'decreased psychic complexity', a sort of 'permanent childhood'. The worst cases don't bear repeating here.

I would also like to caution you, when reading on this, note whose voice is present; is it ever the subject who reports positive outcomes?
I was always surprised why QAM uses a rectangular I/Q coordinate rather than a radial one like how 8PSK does it. It would seem like a radial pattern maintains better ISI margin just from inspection.
I don’t even need to close my eyes and the images are fairly vivid. AR before AR.

I thought for a long time that’s how it was for everyone.

Anyone else have that?
Um, no. An experiment showing that antimatter does not have negative mass should surprise exactly no one. I suppose that, as long as the experiment had not actually been done, it could be claimed that there was, in principle, some doubt; but there can seldom, if ever, have been an experiment with higher confidence in the outcome. "Practice" working with antimatter has value of its own; did this experiment break any new ground in that area?
Yeah I have the same question. It's either that, which sounds kinda crazy, or that's just how they describe what you and I can already "see" when we imagine something that is visual, I guess? Whereas when you have aphantasia you cannot do that
> I would hate to have been questioned about why I wanted to take a conversation out of my corporate channel

Okay? That doesn’t make the line of questioning illegitimate. I, too, dislike being questioned about anything by anyone.

> the government is assuming any time that you ask a coworker to “call you” that they are going to question you

Yes. They will also pull your call records and ask you what was discussed. Again, this is super normal. What, would you like to block investigators from asking what was discussed at meetings?

> I would never talk to anyone in the government without my own lawyer

You’re complaining about the government’s general right to investigate? You know that before these records you would still be questioned, right?
And the solution to that is to remove the factual information about them from search results?
No, not with their eyes. Hence the “mind’s eye”. The darkness of your eyelids isn’t replaced, it’s just that your focus is on a mental image of what an object feels like and not just on the darkness of your vision.

Countries that infringe on the First Amendment rights of Americans are properly termed "enemies". Countries that are currently under the US nuclear umbrella should understand the cost of that protection.

I believe they just released a new firmware along with this recall and they have added something new. Might be vibration or sound but I can't remember exactly what.
Yes, it apparently most people can. I cannot, and I also found out relatively recently.

For example, you can ask "most people" to imagine a car, and then follow up by asking "what color did you imagine it?". For me and you this question would not make any sense, but you'll find out that "most people" find it completely normal and answer it without questioning you.
Provide a mark of credibility bureaucrats can understand. They can't evaluate the merits of a paper on, say, dendritic computation, but they know what level of respect a Nature Neuroscience publication generally commands.

You seem to think this only benefits the employer.

Financially viable on-the-job training benefits employee opportunities as well.

E.g. if $CORP pays for my MBA, I think it's reasonable to commit to labor or payment.
You wouldn't get the raise because your pay isn't dictated by how much money you make for a company, but by supply and demand.
The thing I've never understood about aphantasia is the emphasis on closing your eyes. Does it really matter? I can visualize an apple (to borrow the example from the frequently shared meme) whether my eyes are open or closed. It's not like my eyelids are some necessary visual backdrop for visualization.
Renewable electricity production can be anything. Just because you produce something does not mean the same country has to consume it, nor that it is connected to the general grid. Renewable production can be 100% if that is what a given country is set to produce and sell on the international market.

Renewable electricity consumption is a bit more tricky. People generally consume energy independently from when energy is optimally produced, so intermittent nature of renewable is a problem. There are countries which are very close to 100% renewable production but which import more than 50% of the energy that they actually consume, while at the same time being energy export positive because of massive exports during periods of optimal weather conditions.
People quit due to toxic management culture, not to triple their salaries with a shitty training program.

What you propose will end up with employees refusing to be trained because they have a low salary (I know that, I’m French).

A previous job wanted me to pay for my own training when I got a promotion. They told me they would reimburse me later, which was an insult on top of the miserable salary I had. I quit later because why would I work with someone who can’t even take care of their employees?

In the case of Ariely, it seems that some of the institutions who tried to follow his recommendations found the recommendations ineffective. So in this case practical harm was already done in the form of wasted time and effort.

This is totally untrue. Presently, in advanced economies, it’s cheaper to build solar and wind. If those economics change, what’s deployed will as well. (Or a country risks fuckup à la Deutschland.)

I think it was done somewhat deliberately here. The author first portrays Ariely in one way, and then gradually starts revealing the doubtful and conflicted elements. The other characters are all portrayed more or less neutrally.
If that front is preserving nature, then they’re not doing a very good job, no
I am like you. I’m guessing that the author needed to use the stuff seen by his eyes while closed as a springboard to seeing something with his mind’s eye.

My dad told me about monk’s who meditate on imagining that their thoughts exist behind their belly button. As you noted, your mind’s eye is not located in the same physical space as your actual eyes. Similarly, there is no reason the thoughts you hear couldn’t be happening in your belly button.

But I’ve found it remarkably difficult to convince my mind that it exist anywhere other than my head. I don’t think this difficulty is based on biology. I think it’s just conditioning. But damn, it’s hard.

Similar to how most people have shifted to permanent shuffle for the song selection queue, online streaming caused the same shift in how people decide what to watch. Familiary with existing media is what keeps people tied to services, and at some point viewers will move on.

The recommendation system around broadcast media seems immature and doesn't feel personal, the cable model makes it worse. People don't subscribe to every service every month, like they did for cable, people cycle through them. Keeping a viewer will always be cheaper than trying to regain a lost one.

Youtube and Twitch has gained social signficiance and some content is on par with traditional media. Kids who only watch YT, Twitch, and TikTok do not feel left out socially. Memes and social media fill in any gaps. I've noticed that the younger generations are more surprised when a peer doesn't know the Mr Beast YT channel than when they don't know a specific TV channel/show.

I think the future of live events and sports will look like Twitch, with a heavy emphasis on interactability. I think branding for shows/channels will get more focused on the characters/actors and creators. And larger categorization will be based on genre. Basically the same way it works with movies.
cut does the right thing:

- if you run cut with no input and no parameters, it outputs an error message to STDERR

- if you run cut --help it outputs usage info to STDOUT

This is what I'd expect based on the man page. Running cut with no parameters is undefined, hence the output to STDERR. Running cut --help is defined, so the output goes to STDERR.

I think people get confused because some tools, when run without any input, output the full help info to STDERR, instead of suggesting the user run foo --help*.

So foo* and foo --help* appear to be equivalent. Until you pipe into less*.
You can forcefully pivot it if you wish to turn in place while stationary. Otherwise you lean on the side and accelerate, the wheel is huge and there is enough sidewall to lean on to. You can perform pretty sharp turns. I'd also do a back and forward move, like a 3 point turn but rapidly and within something like 20cm space.
It sound similarly in pretty much every Indo European language though.

> But regulators have begun to take action on the legality of T.R.A.s. In the last year, the Biden administration has moved to limit the agreements.

Good to know. But solving problems at the executive level, without codifying the solution into law, makes it temporary and up for grabs by the next election, you know, for those jonesing for "less regulation".
That's the idea, right?

CI/CD runners are a great example of something that doesn’t require a dedicated 24/7 server. Spot instances are great for this purpose unless you’re looking for ultra-stable benchmarking performance.

If you do need precise performance measurements for customer experience, it’s usually better to run the code on the same hardware you’d be using in production anyway. For client workloads this generally involves getting the actual hardware your customers would be using: Laptops, Macs, and other things you’re not getting from cloud providers.

Also, the performance differences of cloud instances aren’t so significant that it warrants going out of your way to set up something dedicated. If you need more performance, just get larger spot instances.
Maybe sales people within sellers do. The companies as a whole should worry about losing market-share to competitors and eventually getting shut out of the market. Getting this or that high-profile contract isn't worth much if those contracts switch away one year later citing that your competitor is "what everyone uses now."

I notice that the map uses OpenStreetMap (via Mapbox, it looks like) for its base data, but doesn't display the required attribution[0]. For fixing this, their Attribution Guidelines[1] are pretty informative. Mapbox also has some helpful docs[2], and may have some additional requirements. Thanks!

I have heard of Proxmox but didn't really know what it did, so I went to Wikipedia, which tells me: "Proxmox Virtual Environment (Proxmox VE or PVE) is a hyper-converged infrastructure open-source software."

It's not "beautiful" (in fact, the author seems to have terrible layout/style sense) and that github page is just...terrible. I'm not sure why the author chose to embed 10 pages of PNGs on it.

But

I think there's definitely a need for well-curated collections of "common things people want or need to do documents"...like the "draft" watermarking, confidential flag, QR codes, org charts/family trees, and so on - especially if they are well-commented.

I would love to see such a collection for doing various common page layouts, and also for leveraging many of the features of PDFs.

And no, the various sites that host lots of example LaTeX documents don't feel like they are really a substitute. I've found them poorly curated and as a LaTeX novice, it's difficult to figure out how to extract the one thing the author of the document is doing that you want to pull and replicate. So often, I've tried to do so and ended up with incomprehensible 'compile' errors.

Even after repeated attempts to learn LaTeX and do useful things with it, I still find it almost impenetrable. Debugging is nearly impossible because the "compiler" gives completely shit error messages, and looking at LaTeX code as a beginner, I just see meaningless ASCII vomit. LaTeX seems to use a ton of "this one particular punctuation mark or letter tacked on to this command or function means LaTeX will actually interpret that as..." bullshit that makes the code impossible to read or understand.

I understand why that sort of shorthand was done given LaTeX was written in the Every Byte Is Sacred Era - but some evolution of LaTeX to be more parseable to the human eye/brain in the last three decades would have been nice.
For me, it makes a difference whether I imagine my body in the image or not.

A disembodied mental image is located somewhere else in my head; a first-person one moves behind my eyes. It’s not like a projection in the sense that it would replace what I actually see, but like a secondary feed that overrides some processing in the same place just after the eyes.

However, I can imagine music and actually hear it. I had this a couple of times where I "replay" a song in a foreign language I've heard a long time ago, and this time I can parse out more lyrics than before. All inside my head.
