Sadly I haven't found any good ways to strongly type dataframes, so my solution is mainly cultural: just make people aware that they shouldn't use dataframes unless it makes sense, as opposed to Python codebases where dataframes are the default data type that gets passed around. I've tried to limit dataframe usage only to things like reading data from CSVs, then converting them to typed dataclasses before further processing.

It also depends on your use case. pandas is obviously very flexible and easy to use, so it might be worth the tradeoff to keep using it if your main use case is interactive Jupyter notebooks run by data scientists, or dealing with highly variable input data. But most of my Python is backend data pipelines that work on predictable input data, where reliability is important, so I default to dataclasses, only using pandas in rare situations with a lot of validation code surrounding it.
If you use GPT-4 with Browsing turned on and supply it with the title, it will find the page and use the transcript and you can ask it questions. Then you can look at the transcripts to find the spots and verify. Alternatively, if you have an AI-enabled browser you can ask it about the transcript once you open it.
You have a citation for your interpretation of "rent-a-cop"? I am intrigued but cannot find any use of the phrase other than something to the effect of "wannabe cop". Even the 1987 movie by that name is a former cop who works private security (fair warning I have never heard of the movie until reading the wiki summary a few minutes ago).
Authorised firearms officers will generally carry some form of rifle (or submachine gun?) as their primary firearm but will also carry a sidearm, most commonly a Glock 17 I think but I do know my local constabulary issue a SIG Sauer P320 (and a SIG Sauer MCX as their primary, but again this varies by constabulary).
I don’t understand your view. How do you improve your skill in the craft ? Or learn new technologies ? You wait for your employer to tell you to learn something ? That’s a sure fire way to always be behind the curve.
As always, look for the source of the stored energy. The Wikipedia article [1] is a good overview.

Also, CO2 is a major byproduct of industrial production. While that might be a good feedstock for carbon capture and storage were this approach to scale up, that just opens the whole system to CCS issues.

My take, ammonia is not a panacea...

"For both men and women, childhood physical abuse was associated with significantly higher odds of reporting ADHD (men odds ratio [OR] = 1.66, p < .001; women OR = 1.95, p < .001). For both genders, childhood sexual abuse was also significantly related to higher odds of ADHD (men OR = 2.57, p < .001; women OR = 2.55, p < .001); however, exposure to parental domestic violence was only associated with elevated odds of ADHD among women (men OR = 0.89, p = .60; women OR = 1.54, p = .03). The results demonstrate a link between childhood physical and sexual abuse and ADHD for both men and women."

I mean, you're looking at up to 151$/kWH wholesale for the batteries. I'm assuming that doesn't include the cost of containers, wiring between them, logic or extra bits for the pack (e.x. IIRC Ford packs auto discharge in the cold to prevent freezing), or the cost of assembly.
Toyota's CEO is crazy if they think this development will have an impact on EVs. You know what people don't have at home? Ammonia for their new ammonia engine...

After reading this I'm thinking about shorting Toyota. They are totally sunk at this point. Between fuel cells and this nonsense they've sunk countless millions when they could have lead the EV market.

I don't think Twitter even has lower expenditures going for it considering the massive debt payments. Losing half of revenue and keeping expenses about the same is, well, a pretty bad spot to be in. I think the big question is how much money Elon will incenerate before trying to find a face-saving way to bail out.
Definitely! Dopapod is a particular favorite lately. I love the whole jam genre but definitely come from the more rock rooted side.
EVs aren't gonna be mainstream in Japan until they figure out how to generate electricity without importing fossil fuels.

EVs as 4x more efficient than ICE cars - assuming your electricity generation doesn't have a massive loss.

If you're burning fossil fuels, you're losing 60% at generation and another 10% in transmission.

It's not gonna make sense to spend more on a car and lug around a giant battery and build a new infrastructure for a tiny improvement.

If you're the US and can generate a crap ton of solar because half your country is a desert - then it can work.

Or if you have access to other renewable sources or can build nuclear at scale.
You say that, but her name all on its own was enough for me to click on the link, because the name gives clues towards being related to physics or the Cold War or something intriguing.
A hybrid engine is an engine. Engines are hard to build, and Toyota is very good at it.

Electric vehicles don’t have engines, only motors, and motors are far easier to build.

If Tesla is a battery factory searching for more things to put batteries in, Toyota is an engine factory searching for more things to put engines in.
Toyota makes mass produced cars. It makes more cars in a month than Tesla does all year. Sure Tesla has done quite well, but EVs aren't really mainstream. When its mainstream and the technology settles down Toyota will be there.

In the meantime the waiting lists for Toyota Hybrids are some of the longest in the industry - they're what people really want.
>The combined knowledge of humanity is basically freely available to anyone with the skill to use it.

It's fascinating how differently people react to the knowledge of this phenomenon. When I was a kid, basically as soon as I realized this was the case I started arguing with my parents that we had to have an Internet-connected computer in the house now. As soon as we got one I basically started reading Wikipedia every non-school hour of every day for 2 years straight.

I doubt I remember more than 0.1% of everything I actually read from that period of my life, but it felt formative and healing in a way I just never expected to be the case. I have also never met anyone else who did something like this and it makes me sad!
Acceptance and peace. What else is there? New things are always coming out, let’s check back in a few years and work in that ounce of prevention for a pound of cure.

I remain because I still follow a lot of people on Twitter (news/tech/journos).

Depression has also been associated with dementia risk, at an even higher rate: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaneurology/article-abstr...

And also note that dementia is associated with a very high incidence of depression. So the question now is: How many of these ADHD->Dementia or Depression->Dementia cases were actually a sort of early onset cognitive problem that was lumped into the closest matching mental health condition?

ADHD cohorts are especially difficult to evaluate because the clinical diagnostic standards are all over the place. A proper diagnosis requires ruling out other common causes of attention problems (insomnia, depression, sleep apnea and other common conditions can have severe attention problems as a secondary effect) but rushed providers will often hand the patient a questionnaire and then hand them a diagnosis if the number is above the threshold. As my friends in clinical practice will lament, there are a lot of people with underlying conditions who are getting ADHD diagnoses because it doesn’t carry the stigma of a depression diagnosis (for reasons I still can’t understand) and it’s easier to “diagnose” than doing a proper work up and background history to check for other conditions like apnea. This makes correlational studies with ADHD even harder to interpret.
The only hope for the incumbents against Chinese EVs right now is tariffs and infrastructure. It takes a fair investment to build a support network that can compete with all the existing dealers with their service departments. But that is definitely not an insurmountable advantage.

"There was no clear association between adult ADHD and dementia among individuals with ADHD who received psychostimulant medications."

This is super interesting. The authors point to some needed future research into this in their discussion:

"There are different interpretations of the finding that adult ADHD treated with psychostimulant medication was not clearly associated with an increased dementia risk. It is possible that ADHD treated with medication reflects more severe ADHD compared with ADHD not treated with prescribed psychostimulants, which may reflect milder symptoms or even a less-accurate diagnosis. Also, ADHD is a chronic condition and may have negative long-term sequelae when untreated. Hence, the lack of association among individuals exposed to psychostimulants contradicts the conclusion that ADHD is associated with dementia risk. Alternatively, one may accept our ADHD ascertainment procedures. Among patients with adult ADHD, psychostimulant exposure is uncommon (22.3% in our study and less elsewhere5). The ADHD medication and diagnosis combination is 0.5% (567 of 109 218), possibly an underestimate of adult ADHD. Also, psychostimulants are cognitive enhancers hypothesized to reduce dementia risk.19 In addition, our study results should be interpreted within the broader literature that generally supports the association between adult ADHD and dementia.14-17 Seen this way, including psychostimulants in the association between adult ADHD and dementia risk may account for confounding by medication. That said, future research is necessary, including the assessment of adult ADHD symptom severity, to examine the role of psychostimulant medication in old age."
The hybrids were - and still are - a smart move because they can be sold to just about everybody and they offer a sliding scale by dropping in a larger battery from 'mostly ICE' to 'mostly BEV'. Of course you still have a more complex setup but it solves the range issue and allows the vehicles to operate in areas where there isn't a whole lot of power available. Those I get. But Hydrogen and Ammonia make zero sense to me, both from a safety aspect as well as distribution.

Thinking that EVs are a fad is very much behind the times, BEVs have a lot of momentum now and grid operators the world over are planning for wholesale electrification of transportation, with the exception of long haul trucks - for now - this is something that is on course for large scale adaptation. It will still need infrastructure upgrades and obviously more generating power but that can be done incrementally.

If not BEVs then we have serious problems because right now there are no viable contenders other than to burn more fossil fuels and given the amount of legislation in place right now that's simply going to stop. If you're lucky you might be able to drive your classic car or maybe there will be conversion kits for those as well (there are already some of those on the market today, but for now it doesn't look like there will be a mandatory retirement of all ICEs on the horizon).

ADHD has treatments which help significantly (structured lifestyle, medication). It’s like asking how half blind people can drive (answer is: they wear glasses to help them see)
I took the same course around towards the end of 2021. David provided examples and I found that he hit a good balance of "I will let you figure out yourself based on these" vs "let me explain you guys what it's about".

I struggled a bit at the last few days, partially because I was taking the course from the other side of the world (i.e had to stay awake all nights for the course, five days).

However, most of us at least managed the "Function" part. The LLVM and WASM parts, I just watch what David did and didn't attempt them myself.

I also took the SICP course, which I found it to be a better "bang for the bucks". Either way, I have no regret about taking David's courses.

Asian firms like Toyota are huge on face - and doing a switch back to batteries would make it very obvious that they (really one specific senior controlling exec, most likely!) lost (tens? hundreds?) of billions of dollars on a bad bet. And even more in lost time and market position.

Never underestimate ego in a situation like this. Hell, just look at what Elon is doing.

Why admit you screwed up (likely costing you your very lucrative position and bringing shame and dishonor to your family) when you can double down and try to reality distort your way out of failure? Sometimes it works!

When it doesn’t, it can bankrupt huge multinationals (or historically even nations occasionally!), but at that point it’s almost
always the type of problem that someone else needs to help you solve anyway. Often ones you can even scapegoat foreign powers or domestic enemies with. Win/win.

> And pre-X Twitter was bleeding money.

It had been profitable, shortly before covid. They could have had layoffs and been there again if not for the baggage that came with the acquisition. The debt, the exodus of advertisers, the general worsening.

I should have been more clear, I meant that it failed to achieve the stated goals of its creators, not that it didn't have an impact. I actually think the other girls defining and achieving success on their own terms outside the intention of the primer's creators is one of the more interesting things about the story, especially how that sort of reflects back into their original thesis about transgressiveness.

But anyway, I would say that what happened with nell was what they hoped would happen, and the book attributes that success to the bonds with people through the primer. What happens with the other girls is impressive & impactful, but not expected and so "failed" by the standards of those who made it for a specific purpose.
> It’s more that he’s chosen to call a number of people’s bluff with these “what are you going to do, sue me!” tactics.

That's an overly charitable spin on the fact that Elon Musk's Twitter is hemorrhaging money and can't even pay the rent of their headquarters.

> If the company was just insolvent (...)

There's a big difference between being ran to the ground and actually be bankrupt. Elon Musk is still deemed one of the world's richest persons, so there is no question that the company's owner can inject capital into a failing business to pay rent.

As Elon Musk simply refuses to pay, Elon Musk's Twitter was issue an order to be evicted.

> Of course, nobody wants to go above and beyond anymore because it's not rewarded. Why work extra hours and offer to take on additional responsibilities when it won't lead to promotion or even a raise that keeps up with rent and inflation?

please review the latest guide on performance reviews. “above and beyond” was found to be too broad of a band, so the majority of it is going to constitute the new “underperforming.” so if you want to be seen as “top talent,” which is short-hand for “expert at doing the most with the least,” well, now you know the expectations.

He wrote that in the book: "Affordances determine what actions are possible. Signifiers communicate where the action should take place."
At this point the only reason to be interested in any non-BEV vehicle is because refueling on road trips is that important for your use case. Otherwise, the easy availability of electrons at home is such a huge fueling advantage that I'd be very reluctant to give it up. If I can't get a plentiful, safe source of ammonia at home, I'm sure as heck not interested in an ammonia engine.
You can't assume char is one octet. It is one byte by definition.

A byte is CHAR_BIT bits, where CHAR_BIT >= 8. (It's exactly 8 on most implementations; DSPs are the most common exception).

short and int are both required to be at least 16 bits wide. It's possible for int to be 1 byte (sizeof (int) == 1), but only if CHAR_BIT >= 16.
The main problem would be the quality of the fuel after not using the ICE for an extended period.
I really want a quadricycle citroen ami for where I live. I have a 15km commute max. And when I can't WFH I usually drive with my wife. But I'd rather a small zippy little EV that I can park on a postage stamp.

Sadly, quadricycle aren't legal in Australia, because everyone's become addicted to F150's.
Not blaming you. Pointing out it's dubious to say God's not responsible for his own failures.
In an ideal world, I don't think opinionated manipulation of the underlying dataset is a good idea. If you want to avoid outliers dominating your analysis, you should aggregate it in an outlier resistant method like using the median or other percentile based strategy.

If you allow for manipulating the data, especially on such a politically charged subject, the manipulation method itself will get gamed like it seems is happening here.

For example, I in my life seen tens of hr's, and may be 2-3 of them are really superstars, one even have very meaningful surname, translated to English as Ant :) And I have seen very few people, who spent so much energy to work.

The lag in general auto dash's has been a problem even in 2014 models at least it stayed exactly the same.

Sadly now its actually worse. (is a bit like iPhones, the software gets slower but you don't notice as the hardware got faster if you stay on the upgrade train)

And with that said even Tesla can't get away from this, but its from their own doing. The 5+ year old cars have Atom CPU's for the infotainment which was zippy in the past but with new features being added. Those systems can't provide the parallel speeds now supplied on the new AMD CPU's and start to lose that instant feeling.

How do I know, I test drove that last batch of Model S's on the 2nd hand market in Australia and the gui is not fluid and it shows when the owners were frustrated using it themselves as well as they all wanted the latest model.

Better to whom? I prefer RPGs. My criticism was aimed at the concept of "perfect game", that's why even a great game like Ocarina of Time isn't an unanimity.

RPGs aren't just backgammon, there has been innovations in game mechanics and the understanding of fun in the last several decades. For instance, idle games would be thought impossible a while back, yet they are probably more popular than backgammon among the youth. Idle games are not backgammon, in many of them there isn't even a way to lose.
