Neuroscientist here:

1. Grad school. I came in as a more tech/physics applicant and had to learn it all from a fire hose.

The canonical book is Kandell: https://www.amazon.com/Principles-Neural-Science-Fifth-Kande...

But, please, don;t read that unless you're a neuroscientist. It's too much for a 'layperson'

This one should be better for most casual people with an interest: https://www.amazon.com/Creating-Mind-How-Brain-Works/dp/0393...

Honestly? Just ask chatGPT questions that you have. It's more than good enough for casual interest.

2. Nope. Not even as a person researching and doing experiments. Most US based academia is firmly in the camp of 'beatings will continue until morale improves'. They ignore almost all of their own findings about the need for sleep and learning and spaced repetition when it comes to teaching. Culture is hard to overcome.

Nearly everything I've learned about optimal brain performance (if you can even consider that a thing, which I do not), I learned from reading papers (mostly reviews) and random internet garbage that somehow ended up being true.

On careful reading, the power was sent in to the power outleads of an H Bridge, which is a tough piece of electronics, and in the end nothing was damaged- the shutdown was unrelated. If it had been sent to the data line of the motor controller, it probably would have poofed something. We cant rule out that there were different connector types, but the two mistaken connectors were correctly assigned the same type.
> Well, it's true that it should be designed such that they cannot be plugged incorrectly

I agree with you, but on Earth this is easy. For spacecraft I imagine you can't just use any connector from Digikey

> especially with timeline pressure etc.

If timeline pressure, lost sleep, or rushing jobs not meant to be rushed causes a catastrophic technical error to be made, it is 100% the fault of the person who imposed the timeline, whether that be some middle manager, vice president, board, investor, or whoever. Emphatically NOT the engineer who did the work, if they do good work when not under time pressure.

HOLD PEOPLE LIABLE for rushing engineers and technicians to do jobs that require patience and time to do right.
No, it's a smaller model than normal SDXL so it requires less hardware compared to SDXL.
What reason did they give for firing you?
I read this in a book some years after the Apollo 1 (i.e. Apollo 204) fire, so I have no reason to doubt its provenance.
Yes, and they also outlawed using "meat-names" for meat-replacements. I just don't see how this will have a 100% lose on the benefits of plant-based food. Maybe it does influence the market, maybe not. But the plant-based food is till there. The loose will not be 100%

What they they lose out 100% at the moment is on artificial animal-meat. But I also don't see where those have actual benefits at the moment. Availability on market is zero to none at the moment, and how much impact this will really have on climate and environment is still unknown at this point.
The rust compiler refuses to compile code which doesn’t adhere to a strict set of rules guaranteeing memory safety. Unless you intentionally call an unsafe block, misuse in this sense is impossible, not just difficult.
I know it is fundamentally much better that we’ve gained a little bit of prudence over time. But the crazy engineering schemes that America hatched in the 60’s (when we could finally build, essentially, anything we wanted and we hadn’t learned how dangerous that is) will always be fascinating.
Even a shared love of Star Trek can result in irreconcilable differences and huge battles. I'd never want to work with somebody who likes Holodeck episodes or doesn't love Gowron.

That said, there are some times that even Star Trek fans and Star Wars fans can actually get along.

I'm bistellar: I love both Star Trek AND Star Wars!
>I too have a severe autistic adult child...

>Behavioral comments not needed please. This is mechanical inquiry only.

That's not how that works. If you didn't want to invite behavioral discussion, then you wouldn't have mentioned the behavioral issue. If you wanted purely plumbing answers, then you would have asked a purely plumbing question and left the autism bit out.

>Quick question - what's a good way to unclog a sink drain? Also I'm trans btw, not sure if that matters. Also, no trans comments please, just plumbing, thanks.

How silly and childish is that? Like, if you don't want to discuss it, then don't mention it.

I have no solutions for you, but I'm curious: when it comes to autistic people, what alternatives exist to appeasement? Running water sounds relatively benign, where water is cheap, and especially if you can rig up a fountain, granted if electricity is also cheap. I'm sure there's some not-so-benign fixations that would be preferably eliminated rather than appeased. How is that dealt with? Is it possible to eliminate the fixation?

> Anti-trust made it pretty clear you can't be the railroad company and the oil company that uses the railroad to harm competition.

Your analogy is flawed.

This is a private railroad company, who built their own private national railroad system, saying that if you want to use their railroads, you have to use their infrastruture (signals, switching, yards, etc.) and to do that, you have to pay a per-trip fee.

Your argument really is, “How is it legal that I am not allowed to use their private railroad track system unless I also use their switches/signals/yards/etc. that carry fees?”
Hey HN, I just finished developing my networking library in C, which allows users to create a client or server with the ability to follow the TCP/UDP/HTTP/WS protocols. This was one of my harder C projects, and any tips for how to improve the library would be great. I'm currently benching this against Apache and Nginx and will share the results on the GitHub soon.
I think atrocities and retributive torture are easier to justify without free will.

lack of free will confirms that someone didn't just make a bad choice, but they are an inherently bad human that performs bad actions.
I assume that's intentional so you learn when it's required. From Python.org:

"all functions without a return type or parameter types will implicitly default to using Any"
The way it's "sustainable" is that it's not a fossil fuel (well, currently it's 50% fossil fuel, they hope it can be 100% fossil fuel free by 2030), so it's just part of the normal carbon cycle like forest fires and breathing.

IMO it's probably just a stand-in until hydrogen really works.
The problem is that an industry can be used as leverage by China to hurt the economy. See Putin and Gazprom, Tawianese Chips and so on.
Globalization is good, because it makes production of consumer goods more cost effective. But cost alone is not worth much if the supply is not reliable and can be leveraged by a potential opponent.
If you think inserting a plug into a socket is "cumbersome" perhaps. Plus you can do it at home, while you sleep. If you're on a long trip the range is long enough now that is a good reason to stretch your legs and hydrate.
>A cruel extermination model is just as rational of a response to bad actors with no choice.

I don't think this can be supported. There is no contradiction in destroying an entity that gets in your way, but presumably there is more at stake when it comes to humans engaging with humans. We recognize that other humans, at least those in good standing in our social community, have interests that should not be interfered with without strong justification, enough to overcome their rights as members of the community. But given a lack of free will/moral responsibility, the interests of the bad actor cannot be completely disregarded. For example, their interest in their life isn't forfeited simply for being a nuisance.

> How the Biden laptop story was framed and shut down just before the election.

Twitter had/has a rule to not allow hacked data. Nothing to do with any government interfering as you implied.

> How it was a concerted effort between FBI, big tech and media done behind the scene.

Hunters laptop story? No it did not show how it was a concerted effort of those parties. Blocking that story on twitter was twitters doing with no input on it from any government agencies. As far as that story goes twitter was blocking links to articles from media. What you are suggesting is that media wrote the stories and then worked with twitter to block those same stories....

> If that is nothing new, what a joke is the election process?

You said that we should read twitter files but it seem you haven't read them.
That not every customer wants an EV or that an EV is not the best car for every customer is no excuse for sales reps being subpar when it comes to EVs. Especially when the car industry does not take sales rep performance into account when evaluating EV sales at dealerships.
I'm not sure I saw that argument at the time and I'm not making it now either. I don't know what to do with this response.
I think such "cultural distances" would be really hard to prove, and there are no such attempts that I'm aware of. But I would also be interested if someone were to attempt or know of such a cultural comparison project.

The archeological material from the Yamnaya is not overabundant, and the content of their beliefs and language is largely inferred in ways which leave many things open to debate. But we can likely be certain that different descendant cultures all fanned out culturally, both as a consequence of internal driving forces as well as influences from the other peoples they encountered.

The latter could actually speak in favor of the Scandinavians keeping more of their ancestral culture, since that part of the world was relatively more isolated compared to rest of the Europe.

Note that I do not discount the other health benefits exercise brings, and everyone should get in as much as humanly possible with the schedule they're working with.

Our bodies are so incredibly efficient with calories that exercise is simply not an effective way to lose weight.

Calories in, calories out are all that matters. Don't expect to lose weight with a 2000 calorie diet. It took me 15 miles with a 3000' elevation gain to burn 2500 calories -- a nearly 7-hour hike. A single day's worth of calories burned in a largely unreasonable amount of time for nearly all adults.

It's not exactly science fiction.
> MusicXML provides multiple ways of encoding the same musical concept, and some applications don't take the effort to check for all possible scenarios.

This sounded interesting, so I went to the webpage, and found this point specifically called out:

> It prioritizes interchange, meaning: it can be generated unambiguously, it can be parsed unambiguously, it favors one-and-only-one way to express concepts, and multiple programs reading the same MNX file will interpret it the same way.

But I'm curious to see some examples of this. https://w3c.github.io/mnx/docs/comparisons/musicxml/ provides an interesting comparison (and calls out how the same MusicXML can be interpreted in different ways for things like octave shifts), but it would be nice if the page also included alternate ways that MusicXML can represent the same composition and talk about how certain programs end up misinterpreting/misrepresenting them. The Parts comparison, for instance, mentions how you can represent the same thing in two different ways in MusicXML (score-timewise and score-partwise), but only provides an example for one (score-partwise), and doesn't go into much more detail about if this leads to ambiguity in interpretation or if it's just making things needlessly complex.

No, even if you're charging your batteries with carbon-emitting power plants, those plants are much more efficient than the engine in a car or plane. Internal combustion engines are very impressive technology, but they are constrained by their form factor, and can't possibly extract as much energy from fuel as a large power plant.

In reality, almost every power grid in the world is already cleaner than an internal combustion engine, and rapidly becoming cleaner as more renewable energy is deployed.

I think you might have missed it. They all still have links.

Open any data sheet and you'll see a pin-table. Any pin with XLxy{in,out} [x,y=numbers] is a link pin (amongst other duties, it's multiplexed).

The presence of an 'xConnect' block in the chip diagram is a giveaway too - the chip uses links internally to talk between multiple cores on a single die. AFAIK, they all have xConnect blocks (for the external links and timing)
When you learn a song by ear, you'll know how each note of it relates to the key (which is the "home" note, and the one that the song might end with). You also know where the half-steps are in the scale. These are basically enough to know your solfège/solmization syllables for that song. Note names and perfect pitch are irrelevant because most of the time you'll be playing fretted notes, so just shifting your hand location on the fretboard lets you play different pitches - the actual "note" pitch is arbitrary. Notes played unfretted (that you can't just move around) are rarer, so you can always think of them as falling outside the pattern and learn them as such.

No, they're not all expensive, there's free ones too.

ip-api.com also has it for free when its non-commercial use, or €13-15/mo for unlimited commercial use, which is cheaper than yours, it has been around since 2012, serves over 33k/rps and seems to give more data and in several formats.

findip.net is unlimited for free.

freeipapi.com is €8.25-9.90/mo for unlimited, which is again cheaper than yours

As in software, the best tool for avoiding errors is to not have the software in the first place.

If you must work with someone, or consider yourself to have an ethical obligation to follow this, this is good advice.

If you don't...

Just slowwwly remove your touchpoints with them. Freeze them out. Go through other channels. If you do this right, the person will feel like you have just gradually drifted apart, but won't be able to pinpoint a clear cause.

You don't have to try and get them fired, or anything (and that may backfire on you, so I don't recommend doing it.) But if enough people do this, then they will gradually be the most replaceable person on the team, and they may be let go regardless.
I love the idea, but yeah that outcome was predictable. Home automation is very much still in the hobby stage and most people simply don't care about it.

I own my home & am into automation - but I don't plan on living in this house forever. As such I try to only install things that can be easily reversed when I move out, e.g wireless instead of hardwired smart switches - devices that piggyback on 'normal' home things. Otherwise I'm just giving the next owners thousands of dollars of things they don't want & unnecessary headaches.

> typical US oversized SUV

I actually don't know if people will go back from SUVs even if there are better cars. They just feel psychologically safer to the passengers and the large cargo hold is convenient. If you took them away from people, I think there'd be widespread anger at EV's expense which is not needed right now.
I almost always clash with someone who rather spend the team's time trying to do it right (for whatever that means to them) as opposed to sooner. This is often expressed as "making a second change is more time than taking a week to think about it carefully the first time".

What's more, the results:

* turns out it's a delaying tactic to avoid doing work

* feature creep

* added complexity, which is brittle (feature has to be reworked, nobody is happy)

* constant nitpicking + the assumption that you will adopt their higher standards

Is this better? For some projects maybe. At least we have alerts that go off every day and nobody pays attention to them and multi-tiered shared libraries that result in esoteric problems (mostly from package upgrades) that affects projects X, but not Y and Z.
