Not in scandinavia. It's how the labor market is organized and its working great. I don't remember how it is in Sweden, but the relationship between employees and employers, how they can negotiate, and what kind of means they can subject the other part to, is enshrined in law, and so strikes that looks like this one in Sweden can easily be lawful.

We had a whole-home drain backup some time ago that would have been CONSIDERABLY less damaging if we had been alerted to the backup when it occurred. Instead, nobody was inside and a draining laundry machine hit the clog and pushed black water throughout most of the first floor.

Knowing that this was happening would not have likely saved the bathroom, or the laundry room, but it might have saved the kitchen.

Point is: for water leak scenarios you should think about both clean water coming from inlets as well as clogs in your outlets.. I should get a couple of these to place behind my lowest toilets, where the water came up last time

> If you emphasize the "role playing" part, you become a character within a larger play, perhaps even the main character. So of course you don't want to die and roll a new character, just as it would be strange for a character to die in a play, but then the actor come back as a new character in the same play halfway through. The fighting and action become just flavor around playing the role, not necessarily the point in and of itself.

This is one of the things that I don't like about Critical Role. Heavy, heavy on the role-playing aspects, but you as a listener (and, one assumes, the other characters) don't know any of the characters' backstory except what's revealed bit by bit. It's more than a little challenging to follow, especially if (like me) you have podcasts on in the background while driving, etc. I'm not ignoring it, but my mind isn't always 100% on following the details.

They're very good actors, and it's a great show if that's what you are looking for. It's just not what I want.
Have you never been in a real workplace?

Passive aggressiveness is generally the tool of those in power to deflect any potential criticisms/issue taking, and the lower rung and more powerless the worker, the less their overt aggression matters, and is much more tolerated by their same level colleagues/environment.

> Why would they need solar/wind to get a renewable base load? I know solar/wind can't provide that base load by themselves (at least not in one region), but I expected that geothermal would basically be constant, or at least fluctuate by only small percentages throughout a day? Does solar/wind really bring anything to the table in terms of base load here, or is it just that geothermal would provide the base load and solar/wind could be used for seasonal usage on top?

Think of geothermal as being a drop-in replacement for natural gas turbines today. On wind/solar heavy grids, natural gas turbines spin up when wind/solar go down. The most reliable returns on investment in geothermal will come from targeting gas turbines, because that will result in maximizing the utilization of the geothermal system. Building geothermal capacity to meet variable demand is very expensive. Relatively to that, building solar/wind is not.

Utility solar and onshore wind on the other hand are incredibly cheap, especially when you don't have to store the energy. At this moment (~09:45 PDT on November 28, 2023), solar and wind are providing 61% of electric demand in California, with no storage involved [1].

In the case that geothermal starts taking over baseload from natural gas and nuclear, wind and solar will continue their downward price trend and still be favored when their supply and demand are time-correlated, and will also be used for very dispatchable end-uses (i.e. EV charging, water heating).

They will also be coupled with storage to provide demand-following peaker resources (since batteries can respond extremely quickly to demand spikes).

If geothermal gets so cheap that there is little difference in price between it and solar/wind+storage, then it will probably indeed take over a lot of current wind/solar demand, but ever increasing demand from variable loads will continue to soak up wind/solar supply, especially as the transition away from fossil fuels accelerates.

Finally, geothermal has much higher upfront/fixed costs (due to the necessity of drilling and the machinery for the turbine), so while better than nuclear, it's still harder to use for distributed generation than solar. Distributed generation (especially behind the meter) provides resilience to distribution outages.

I agree people may have missed the boat but for that PE ratio i wouldn't focus too much on it as PE is calculated using 1 year of past data. It fails spectacularly in providing a valuation when there's extreme YoY growth which there is here.

See the PE chart of Nvidia here and notice the large step changes everytime a quarterly report comes out: https://ycharts.com/companies/NVDA/pe_ratio . As each quarter where they had <1/10th the earnings is pushed out of the PE calculation they have a big step change.

Their forward PE is 25.32x right now. They have an expected 8% quarterly growth forecast. The FAANG have PE's higher than that and much lower growth. Really on fundamentals of PEG (PE and growth) Nvidia is pretty good value. But... There's huge risk here. Will they continue or will a competitor emerge? Can they rely on chips from Taiwan? etc.

So the investor story isn't that they have a crazy PE. They honestly don't. The investor story is that fundamentals for Nvidia look quite good but there's also risks looming.

The best resources I found for hunting auroras are:

- Met Office Space Weather - https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/specialist-forecasts/sp...

- Aurora Alerts Glendale App - https://aurora-alerts.uk/

Both are free and give good results, you can even install the Glendale app on your phone as a PWA(Chrome for best results, Firefox doesn't work as well) and set it to notify you when a potential aurora is about to happen.

The met office space weather is good for an overview of when one might see activity and the Glendale is superb at short-term predictions(as accurate as those can be with auroras).
Pytorch supports directML on windows - is that not sufficient (or performant) for your usecase? It feels like AMD are less willing to step on Microsoft's toes, possibly as they just don't have the market share clout.

And Rocm supports the higher RDNA2 and the highest-end RDNA3 consumer GPUS - [0], though only the top RNDA3 cards in linux [1] (officially - other cards often do "work" but YMMV)

One thing Nvidia are much better at is supporting the whole stack - while I doubt many people are actually running much ML on 8gb mid-low end cards, it seems a hook for sales if people "could" do that, and a starting point for personal experimentation. I know multiple people who buy low end Nvidia GPUs because they "might" experiment with CUDA some time in the future.

I would never have imagined Google as a bad company, yet someone went on a mission to go through all of my searches, NLP, and medical records without consent then manipulated my father. The terror they put me through running me around was insane and it became evident one individual was actually working WITH GOOGLE on age restriction features when they collected searches from a device designated as for a 13 year old as a test. I was too busy being terrorized to sit down and write their legal department these guys did so much harm to myself and my family (fifty counts of criminal mischief). I was in shock for quite a while. They still sit in a game called Guild of Heroes chatting every day. Pretty sure the chat connection string is assigned by IMEI at download. Never could find anyone willing or competent to test or help verify.

Still disgusted to this day, and the mountain of paperwork too steep to get anything done about them after several attempts with various authorities. One of the guys literally drugged (or overheard) my sister who was being assaulted/ trafficked- and laughed he was “playing with tweakers”.

I am so unhappy with Google right now. Yet part of the challenge is having the capacity with the overwhelming nature of their attack to get it addressed.

I was using 2FA these guys pillaged everything on the back end.

What’s funny is that you can change your religion. But you still can’t change your caste!

It’s even more interesting how norms and customs predate even caste. For instance, missionaries came to India and offered a better status within Christianity to Hindus from lower caste. This led to some caste based discrimination against Indian Christians. Now, Pakistan as a country doesn’t really have caste system being a Muslim country. But there are restaurants in Pakistan where Christians are still not allowed to eat in the same plate regular customers eat!

The way the truck segment works, it's pretty inevitable. More and more people buying them with no intention to use as trucks, means cab encroaching into the bed space.
from the NYTimes article:
The name Q is a play on the word “question,” given the chatbot’s conversational nature, Mr. Selipsky said. It is also a play on the character Q in the James Bond novels, who makes stealthy, helpful tools, and on a powerful “Star Trek” figure, he added.
Yeah, I sometimes use that phrase in reference to a person doing something I wouldn't do but without the intention of begrudging them of it. I hate to think anyone has ever thought I was being passive aggressive over such phrasing.
Ask HN: How to optimally set up an Android Tablet?
I'm looking for advice on how to optimally set up/customize an Android Tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+ in my case).

I mean it in all possible ways, Launchers, Apps, Wallpapers, Cases, Pens, Pen nibs, Screen protectors, Holders, etc ...

Tell me how you completely obsessed over certain things until you finally got it set up exactly how you wanted it. Tell me about the time you tried out 7 different screen protectors until you found the right one. (Also don't ask me how many icon packs I looked at until I found "Rondo")

I'd also appreciate any links to deep-dive articles or blog posts about this topic.
To be clear, CS was developed independently of TF, and had a different genealogy as it were. Certainly some developer crossover later on, but probably more by people wanting to work on it instead of being told to.
> I don't think this is really true.

Well... I don't know what to tell you but it is. In the 2016 election both Biden and Warren (two candidates that proposed a "green manufacturing" plan for climate change) both admitted that in the short term their plans would lead to a net increase in emissions. And in fact, in 2022 we saw the EU emissions decrease by 2.5%, China's decrease by 0.2%, but the US increase by 0.8% in large part due to their approach to climate change solutions.

https://www.iea.org/reports/co2-emissions-in-2022

> then the emissions required to build renewable infrastructure will be much smaller than the total emissions for all other causes

Let's look at electric vehicles as a more concrete example. A lot of people don't realize that around 10% of lifetime emissions of a vehicle are in its initial manufacturing... for an ICE vehicle. The production of an EV is much more expensive due to their batteries. And in fact over 30% of its lifetime emissions could be in the manufacturing of the battery alone. This is why, in the US, it takes around 28,069-68,160 miles before an EV is actually less polluting than an ICE vehicle.

https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2023/08/when-buying-a...

That's a technology-specific example, but similar dynamics play out in many other ways. One simple one is just... infrastructure. The simple fact that we already have gas stations. We need to invest massive amounts of resources in order to build all these new electric vehicle charging stations

Yes we will (hopefully) soon see something like "economies of scale for emissions" come into play but it's hard to deny that there's a massive upfront cost to simply "building new stuff"

> Exceed in some regards but not others right?

Yeah, nature does it bottom-up through evolution of self-assembling, self-replicating machines. A lot of "design constraints" that go into living things has to do with... keeping them alive. Compare an electrical wire or silicon trace with a biological nerve or neuron - the former are just simple traces of inert metal, the latter are complex nanomachines mostly dedicated to self-maintenance, and incidentally conducting electricity.

Point being, we can't compete with nature across every dimension simultaneously, but we don't need to, and we shouldn't, because we don't need most of the features of natural solution, not at this point. We don't need Concordes hatching from eggs - we have factories that build them.
I usually don't have much patience for passive-aggressive people in general. If you want to say something, just say it. It's not efficient otherwise.

That being said, passive-aggressiveness is also communicating something extra on top of the question at hand.

Hardly , this is not about nvidia doing the foundation to make their own luck .

It is about those industries taking off in a big way.

Nvidia has zero contribution towards tranformers which was the driver behind the rise of AI or towards all the money that flowed in crypto during the low interest era.

The point has all to do with how they have been part of two cycles of boom unrelated to their product.

They are not AWS to have driven the cycle by their product itself , they have only capitalized on it with their good work .

This is exactly the kind of prejudice I detest. Who are you to say that providing folks with good food and pleasant hospitality they want to keep coming back to and enjoying is somehow a psychologically draining career? But putting letters on screens that move boxes around and implement TCP/IP protocols is better?

In fact, in my experience the folks with the absolute most pride in their work and general positive sentiment about their role in the world have been restaurant/bar workers. It’s downright common in places like Spain/Italy/Japan, and I see it in some places in America too. But when you’ve preconditioned folks to believe they’re the scum of the earth, that’s what they’ll believe.

Honestly it's a complete skill issue if you can't get it to "basic tasks". People are out there literally spinning up entire websites and apps in minutes using GPT. There is also no indication at all that we're "hitting a wall". I suppose next you're going to say its glorified auto-complete or a "stochastic parrot"?

IMO this is one of the annoying things about passive aggression. It has stolen the language of “I don’t get it but I’m happy for those who do” and made it into something mean spirited.

Those are potential users of passive-aggressiveness, but if you meant an implied "it's ONLY used by...", then you're wrong. The article itself narrates an example where it's used in a context where the person is neither powerless nor a coward.
