>How do y'all get excited for EVs?

For me it's the reaction to input. At normal traffic speeds, most modern EV's will react like when you pop the clutch in a high-revving sports car. It does so silently, in any situation, every time.

If you try to drive as quickly in a fossil car, anyone around you will wonder who the idiot making all the noise is, so in practice you don't do it even if you have a car that could.

Since I basically never drive longer than a battery range I haven't had to stop anywhere to "refuel" in the past couple of years, which is also nice.

That said - I completely agree about the design and visuals. At the moment it's a choice between "big boring" or "bigger boring", but I expect that to change once the market settles. It's a land grab at the moment.
We use Tempo and python, implementation was super fast, it now permits optimizing our API endpoints.

Seconded. Taiwan is the superpower not just in semiconductor manufacturing but also in street food. Many quirky snacks from there repopulated the culinary desert of post-Maoist mainland, and bubble tea spread all over the world.

Is the distinction between a protein-and-salt-water model versus an electronic-gates-and-memory model meaningful? From a computational standpoint, they both manipulate states and store data. Does substrate matter unless we're invoking metaphysical claims?

Regarding the video (https://twitter.com/Scobleizer/status/1716312250422796590), the device seems untypically polished but also a bit sus. Even if it contains living neurons, their functionality appears limited to mere survival rather than meaningful data processing. The claim that it's/can-be "more efficient than a GPU" (even if in the future) is premature at this point IMO.

Always communicate clearly and directly without ambiguity and assume by default engineers are communicating that way.

In Salamanca (Spain) there are some old traffic lights that they have blue (not a full blue more or less a half step between green and blue) color too.

I think that they turned to blue for things of years and years of sun rays and raining and other climate things.
Be careful, and do your research when buying Windows XPS's. I had to send my last one (2019 I think) back because the fingerprint readers weren't supported and the Developer editions with Linux just omitted the fingerprint reader. No interest from Dell to get drivers made for them.

I have no idea if there are bits on the 2023 Windows edition that aren't supported. It might all be fine.

Trying to get this kind of accuracy and bandwidth for signal measurements you'd have to risk killing the human or at least severely cripple them. Look at how outraged people here regularly get over Neuralink's tiny chip that would only insert an inch or so of electrode threads into the brain. Now imagine they were sticking stuff in there that penetrates the entire brain. It's much easier publicity wise to just do that with a bunch of neurons on a board.

No it wasn't, Bell Labs was forbidden to use it for commercial purposes.

The lawsuit against BSD and prohibition of the Lion's commentary book, came shortly after US goverment allowed AT&T to profit from UNIX.

Had UNIX been commercial from its early days, at the same price as comparable OSes of its time, most likely UNIX and C would never have taken over the server room and kernel systems programming.
we conduct a comparative test on ClickHouse (CH for short) and Oracle database (ORA for short) under the same hardware and software environment, and use the internationally recognized TPC-H as the test benchmark. The test is to execute the calculation requirements (Q1 to Q22) defined with 22 SQL statements for 8 tables. The test is performed on one machine within 12 threads, and the total data amount is around 100G. Since the SQL statements corresponding to TPC-H are relatively long, we do not list them here.

Q1 is a simple calculation, that is, traverse a single table to group and then aggregate.
We can clearly see from the figure that CH performs better than ORA, showing that CH’s columnar storage works very well, and the speed of traversing a single table is very fast. The main cause that makes ORA much slower is that it uses the row-based storage.

read what they wrote.

let's take their examples:

“We also strongly condemn Israel’s indiscriminate military attacks against the already exhausted Palestinian people of Gaza, comprising over 2.3 million people, nearly half of whom are children. They have lived under unlawful blockade for 16 years, and already gone through five major brutal wars, which remain unaccounted for,” they said.

the experts are making the claim that Israel's attacks are indiscriminate. They do not have the ability to make that claim.

I would argue making that claim as fact already undermines their "impartiality".

In fact, it's well known that their are not impartial in general. As one can see from the report they quickly put out on the "hospital bombing"

https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2023/10/gaza-un-expe...

they are not a useful source. They repeatedly make claims of fact that they have zero ability to determine if true or not. For those that believe the IDF has zero credibility, one has to also believe they don't.

The experts quoted have no desire for the truth, as demonstrated by zero desire to correct themselves when they are shown to be spreading falsehoods.
Ah, you agree with the car industry propaganda push to use the term "accident" instead of, say, motor killing. https://www.vox.com/2015/7/20/8995151/crash-not-accident

"Crash" is a wider term.

If someone deliberately drives into a building, that is not an accident. It is still a crash.

Do you also say plane accident instead of plane crash?

Our biOS composes their reality, sending information about it via electrical signals. It then converts the neuron's activity into actions inside that reality. Their world is mediated through our biOS.

The simulation argument asserts that "at least one of the following propositions is true: (1) the human species is very likely to go extinct before reaching a “posthuman” stage; (2) any posthuman civilization is extremely unlikely to run a significant number of simulations of their evolutionary history (or variations thereof); (3) we are almost certainly living in a computer simulation."

(1) is still possible - humankind is armed to the teeth, this tech could be a bunch of hot air, the breakthrough is still N years away, etc.

(2) becomes less likely with every headline. If we had the ability today to simulate a consciousness-filled universe thousands of instances would be spun up overnight.

(3) is looking more plausible than ever...

> exploring the killing of hundreds of millions humans for a perceived personal gain.

Nobody here is suggesting the US conduct a preemptive nuclear attack against Russia, or that it would be a good thing for humanity. The argument is merely that if a nuclear war was to break our (for whatever reason) the US now appears to have an edge over Russia.

> Do you really replace your car engine and transmission before the warranty runs out?

I try! A few months before warranty runs out, it gets full inspection, and I claim every part that acts funky! It is a free money!

> If that was true your phone would have a fully working battery ten years later,

What exactly is the difference? If anything phone batteries are way more expensive and sophisticated!

R1T can tow 100 miles on single charge. That is 1500 battery cycles within 150k miles warranty, or 3000 cycles if you do that daily for 8 years!

The trick is that you would need to keep the archival material “continously” while the microscope tech can be lost, forgotten, rediscovered, and then used to read the material.

That is if you have a thousand year gap in your archival material warehouse maintenance the data is lost. If you have a thousand year gap in your ability to make microscopes the data will wait around patiently.

It's part of a lot of web standards and also commonly used for crypto stuff. E.g. the plain text files in your .ssh directory are typically in base64 encoding; if you use basic authentication that's $user:$passwd base64 encoded in a header; you can indeed use it to have images and other inline content in the url in web pages; email attachments are usually base64 encoded. And so on. One of those things any decent standard library for just about any language would need.

Strong agree here, at least on FB (don't use Instagram because why). I fully tolerated their growing pains back in the day when site went down for hours, or frequent blank pages after some standard click on something. The thing is, even when things improved over time its still buggy as hell.

I had so many problems with uploading photo albums for example, all the time for past 15 years. I used to put thousands of pictures from my full frame camera travel and mountain adventures on FB till I got fed up with wasting so much time redoing it all and battling with the site. They literally pushed away genuine content creator, at least in my social graph I was by far the most active one, and folks liked what I uploaded.

Sometimes it uploaded twice. Sometimes some photos refused to upload, while being same in every aspect as rest which worked OK. Wiping out descriptions I painstakingly put to every photo. Sometimes, even these days, whole feed is blank, just menus on the side. I deleted their mobile app since if was snooping for all the data it could get and draining battery while not used at all - this was actually a great move for my own personal happiness so not complaining about this one.

I'd say that FB is so successful despite their consistent lack of technical quality. They just nailed perfectly the hole in the market people didn't even know they wanted and their timing to market. This is not unique to FB - if there is little pressure from cca equal competition, every business I've seen is subpar, and/or overpriced.

Then you use google's products and its night and day. I don't recall a single bug that affected me, ever. Too bad Google+ never stood a chance.

If they are trying to cover up a crash, it'll be a typical example of why centralised control fails so hard at economics. A crash isn't like a storm or something where a new force appears; it is a recognition that past decisions were not as effective as people at the time thought. Trying to fight a crash just keeps people doing destructive work for longer instead of moving on and finding some other activity.

To an extent - as we've seen in Ukraine, farmers know a thing or two about removing abandoned military hardware from their fields.

The costs of removing a pillbox were £40-£120 at the time (US$1572-US$4719 in 2023 $)

According to [1] after the war the military could either demolish the defences and restore the land, or they could pay compensation to the landowner. And as there was a lot of reconstruction to be done and a shortage of labour, paying compensation was often the preferred option.

This is one of the first Tailwind vs * articles that isn't bad. It makes a good case in the analysis.

For a lot of applications (like a blog), what the author calls "semantic CSS" is the right thing to do. But there comes a point at which it is no longer feasible. We have a long history of SMACSS, object oriented CSS, BEM, CSS Modules, scoped CSS, and now Tailwind to make it work.

> Because mastering CSS requires practice. It takes several failed attempts before you get it.

Explaining the popularity of something by simply proclaiming "git gud" isn't a very strong point. For newer CSS devs, it does take away the woes of clashing naming and a badly structured cascade. The rest remains and the results remain shite. Similarly, I haven't seen a pattern where good CSS authors do not like Tailwind.

He answers that question in the git hub read me:

"While FreeCAD technically does everything I need, the way it's implemented isn't quite to my liking. My biggest pain points with it are the modal sketcher that only works in 2D, no constraints in 3D for extrusions and the perils of referencing things in the design.

Solvespace on the other hand gets the workflow part right, but falls short by not importing STEP and the geometry kernel not supporting chamfers and fillets."
TBF, these "hidden" autostereograms are the most challenging to "see" - it's probably better to start off with two "actual" pictures printed or displayed side by side (because there you have some cues to how far you are from the images overlapping), and then try to apply the same technique to autostereograms? I can manage to do it most of the time, but it always takes some effort. I think it also helps if the image is bigger, but YMMV...
