You are too cynical. Don’t advise people do avoid something that might help them, even if only due to placebo.

You probably have something more precise to say that’s worth saying, like how many support groups are fixed mindset and result in complaining and excuses, crabs in a bucket. And how finding, or starting, a group focused explicitly on growth mindset, would be very beneficial.

So say that instead.
You don't have to milk everything to the last drop. Perhaps it is just time for a new challenge for Josef Prusa and his company.
Britain has been one of the highest trading nations in the world for centuries. That's what their colonies were for.

So I don't think it's as simple as British manufacturing all having moved overseas. A lot of British consumption was being manufactured overseas even before the last few decades.

It's entirely possible that this is because of that, but I don't think one should be so quick to jump to that conclusion specifically for a country that is famous almost entirely for their "Empire".
Plumbing - fresh water piped directly to me, available on demand, and dirty water shipped away. Relatively simple technology and more useful than any other tech I've ever used.
Yes, this is fairly counterintuitive but true. The focal length has nothing to do with it (other than letting you see the subject from farther away).
This. China built more wind in 2023 than total UK generating capacity, and more solar than total US solar generating capacity.
Regardless of being in a poly relationship or single or not - men do have to invest much more time into dating and dating-related activities (such as exercising and diet to achieve a great physique, grooming, and dress) to get anywhere near the results that women will. Even then, 90%+ of men with great effort will never achieve the results that 50%+ of women will get with little to no effort.

There’s a vast chasm between male and female experience that will never be bridged. If you’re with an even remotely attractive woman and you’re not top 1% yourself, you will feel like a cuckold in comparison when opening up a relationship to polyamory. (Assuming she has significant interest in exploring)

Most men are quite clueless - especially if they’ve been off the dating market since their early 20’s and haven’t been observing closely how dating has changed in the last couple decades.
Agreed on all points. I also don't see anything that contradicts what I said, though you phrased some of it better than me.

The issue is that this feeling people have isn't really related much to Graeber's objective claims.
Coal plants for load following end up around 20-40%, nowhere near your 80% number. They have to, because the energy grid demands that they're capable of doing this because it's just not economical to run them at 80% when there is such variability.
Can you develop on this? I'm interested by what you mean by this.

Income is mostly from support and consulting. These two things still pretty much rely on the actively developed product, so a big part of the company is dedicated to this. I'd say we are both a software and service company. I believe this is one nice way of developing open source software.

No insult taken :-)
What is your argument here relating to the original argument?

> (...) what would make for a great email client

I have a fairly non standard use of email, so I'm a bad target for brain picking. I can give a summary, though.

I work generally using a simplified GTD. Important features which I already have are good integration with my calendar and todoist as well as keyboard only navigation. Email analysis features I'd like to have are classification of:

- messages where my action is required;

- message classification by project;

- how long will it take me to handle this message (i.e. do it now vs add to todoist)
Fascinating, thanks.

How can replacing a "fuse" prevent fluid leakage?!

Wow, the confident misassertions in some of those comments! Fortunately many of them were able to be attenuated.

Thx for the link. I see two key questions: 1. How does static electricity inside the body interact with the inside? 2. How to measure the current out of the mat? As pointed out on the prev discussion, it is non-trivial bc the voltage is large and the current is small.
Which is why I have disabled that functionality. I also don’t need M$ to know every app I’m running on my PC (although they probably have that data some other way).

A zero dependency WASM runtime for the JVM
An interesting approach I came across at NeurIPS a few weeks ago is called "ML with Requirements"[1]: https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.03674

My basic understanding is that it combines "standard" supervised learning techniques (neural nets + SGD) with a set of logical requirements (e.g. in the case of annotating autonomous driving data, things like "a traffic light cannot be red and green at the same time"). The logical requirements not only make the solution more practically useful, but can also help it learn the "right" solution with less labelled data.

[1] I don't know if they had a NeurIPS paper about this; I was talking to the authors about the NeurIPS competition they were running related to this approach: https://sites.google.com/view/road-r/home
Main thing induction seems actually worse for is being able to lift the pan above cooking surface and differentially heat different parts of the pan, particularly useful for Chinese/wok cooking.
Sure, you don't strictly need it to write working code. But you will very quickly run into situations where you're writing unnecessarily slow code because you don't know what you're doing.

To me, it's essential.

It's a nice self-contained project that's relatively easy to make fast progress on, while also being challenging. Plus it's something that programmers have to use every day so we're bound to have pain points with existing options.
How can you have an article about battery combustion without talking about the chemistry?

A gasoline fire is a well understood event. Gas ignites and burns until there is no more fuel, or no more air. We know to extinguish this type of fire, we need to remove the air. Once the reaction has stopped, it would need another fresh ignition source to reignite.

A lithium fire is, on the other hand, is almost completely misunderstood by most people. It is a chemical chain reaction. It it an uncontrollable state in which the lithium becomes so hot that it perpetuates it's own combustion. You can remove the oxygen, but that's not the chemical that's keeping this reaction going. So the reaction will not stop. The lithium will keep heating itself, which will cause that heated lithium to heat more lithium, which heats more lithium, until there is no more lithium remaining.

It is disingenuous to compare apples to oranges like what is being done by comparing ICE car fires to EV car fires.
Is there “I” part in logic at all? We ourselves aren’t logical. We happened to invent/discover logic as a way to interact closer with the world and learned to basically simulate a weak, leaky logic machine runtime in our minds. Later someone smart offloaded it to electronics (made with that exact principle, btw, which is one of these “hidden right before your eyes” type of nuances). Custom coding is probably the correct answer.
It doesn't answer the question of why you would choose Ruby. Honestly, you all sound like you got a Sega Genesis for Christmas, while everyone else got a SNES. You can tell other kids on the playground that Genesis has better graphics, but the spec sheets don't lie.

You're trying to make it seem like it's a wash, because "scripted" but it's not. Node.js outperforms Ruby in every department. And it's based on one of the slowest scripting languages of all time. Ruby is a dead language in many countries.

In Canada, you would have to travel the country to find a Ruby job. And if you don't think in American-centric terms, that is meaningful.
Yeah, it will totally be $16 to reflect the minimal carbon used for the utilities GP mentioned.

I don’t think a carbon tax is economically efficient, but I’m starting to think it is emotionally efficient to just let people do all the minimal little things that I don’t think warrant discussion (paper straws, dishwashers, gas logs).
Yeah. I checked to see if MK4 firmware is open source. It is indeed, aside from designs and graphics being CC-NC-SA, which seems to be an attempt to protect their trademarks?

Now, the complaint about development is not being open is a weakness that should be fixed. I have not read evidence that Prusa does this. It does incorporates code from other projects from time to time.

I would like to see Prusa lean more strongly on open development.
There’s a 5th one. While not fully open source companies, they have a whole bundle of open source libraries and packages that don’t threaten their core business.

Meta does OS well for their scale. React, Llama, PyTorch come to mind.

For MS: Typescript, vscode, .net come to mind.
That was a really fun well written article; sample:

In tech, bullshit jobs—which the late David Graeber defines as “a form of paid employment that is so completely pointless, unnecessary, or pernicious that even the employee cannot justify its existence” even though they are obliged to pretend otherwise—come mostly from bullshit projects. At Google, such projects are aplenty. According to Killed By Google, an archival project that documents discontinued Google services, products, devices, and apps, the company has discontinued nearly three hundred projects since its founding.
The money from showing a pancake ad make them do that. It's not a search problem. They know it's not a good experience but they also know it makes them more money than not showing it. The goal is money. Your experience is merely a means to that end.

Do you source your own gas? I live in Texas, fossil fuel and natural gas state, and gas bill is between $50 - $255/month. This is with barely any cooking.
I will say that as someone new to the space, the initial cost and having access to reasonably priced filament is the only thing I can look at ahead of time. Bambu's A1 printer is a no-brainer for people completely new to it. And given that most folks deep in that space have more than one printer, you can treat it as an introduction thing to figure out if you like it before committing fully.
Is absolutely mind boggling to me that not just one, but multiple people thought this was worth flagging. It’s so innocent of a story and interesting enough, I can only assume it’s been flagged for bigotry or at least ignorance.

Yes, I have used a Prusa, but I have mostly used Cura with it. The bulk of my experience with Prusas started with finding one at the local hackerspace, firing up Cura and finding a profile for it, getting it to work and never questioning this procedure again. I used Prusaslicer once or twice, but nevertheless, I cut my teeth on Cura so I used the tool I knew. Not that the comment you're replying to alleges that most Prusa users are using Cura, for the record.

Yes, installing and using Cura is a nightmare for non-technical users, and indeed serious users will have to install a slicer eventually. But that's the point: this product design locks it into the enthusiast market, and most consumers don't want to deal with that overhead.

Clicking "print this" on a model catalogue, having it fire up a cloud slicer thing, and pressing "go" is a better user experience for a novice, plain and simple, and I'm sick of arguing with your enlightened enthusiast takes here.
At this points, it should be mandatory by law to open source the code of any online service your discontinue if people paid for a product that is tied to it.

Hospital Price Gaps Show Just How Broken the US Health-Care Market Is
>Maybe easier transactions of tiny sums is the real solution? Even if every user paid something trivial like 10 cents a month, it would be a huge revenue stream for popular projects which lack maintenance.

This is exactly what the Free Software world needs, IMO. More specifically, it needs to be trivially easy to use and built into the distro - i.e. you have a utility that keeps track of what you desktop apps etc you use, asks priorities+budget then generates a breakdown of how much money to send each project. Then it lets you one-click pay, instead of having to individually go to all the websites and donate to each.

Free Software can't be gratis, if we ever want it to be sustainable and prioritize the user.
Taste is an opinion though. Getting mad about it doesn't help anyone, especially not yourself.
I appreciate the concept, I had my own black triangle recently when I finished writing my own implementation of an adaptive radix tree that is highly concurrent and keeps hot paths in an LRU and loads everything else from disk.

Now when I circle back to my full text search extension for Postgres I can do so knowing I can replace my naive inverted index with something that gives like a 10% performance gain but more importantly significantly reduced and CONSTANT memory profile.

On it's own however, it doesn't seem to do much and unless you're in the space you won't appreciate why this is an interesting implementation.

To provide some more commentary here. Prusa has not changed it's behaviour towards either PrusaSlicer or its printer firmwares in the time since Bambu has existed as a force in the 3D printing community, so Armin's claim that Bambu is making companies reconsider open source, is not at all substantiated.

Furthermore, the Bambu A1 is clearly positioned against the Prusa Mini - they're priced the same, have the same gantry style, but the A1 comes with a multi-material system.

Bambu's higher end printers (X1 Carbon, P1P, etc) are positioned against the Prusa Mk3/Mk4 in the ~$1000-1500 range.

Again, Armin doesn't know the specifics of what he's talking about, so the conclusions are nonsense.
Just get an old car and buy some tools and teach yourself. There's a ton of information online. For a lot of cars, you can find step-by-step instructions or walkthrough videos of common procedures.

I would start with some easier procedures to get your confidence up, like maybe a valve cover gasket replacement or a serpentine belt replacement. Then move on to harder things.

Also, if you live in a rust-prone area (and you are using simple hand tools), your most important items will be penetrating oil, a big breaker bar, and a large sledgehammer. :) Getting rusty things unstuck is kind of an art in and of itself.
Right. I pointed it out because it isn't just about having portable SIMD that makes SIMD optimizations possible. Therefore, the lack of one in Rust doesn't have much explanatory power for why Rust's standard library doesn't contain SIMD. (It does have some.) It's good enough for things like memchr (well, kinda, NEON doesn't have `movemask`[1,2]), but not for things like Teddy that do multi-substring search. When you do want to write SIMD across platforms, it's not too hard to define your own bespoke portable API[3].

I'm basically just pointing out that a portable API is somewhat oversold, because it's not uncommon to need to abandon it, especially for string related ops that make creative use of ISA extensions. And additionally, that Rust unfortunately has other reasons for why std doesn't make as much use of SIMD as it probably should (the core/alloc/std split).

I'd slightly modify 3: a for-profit company that open-sources some software that is not a product in and of itself.

For instance, Facebook can open source React because it's something they need, but it would not be a viable product on its own. Releasing it as open source doesn't give them any disadvantage. Similarly, a GPU manufacturer can open source their drivers because this won't prevent them from selling their hardware (and in theory should allow them to sell more hardware).

In theory, I'd expect a printer manufacturer to be able to open source their software, because their product is the printer not the software. In fact, I don't get why open sourcing 3D printer software should be a disadvantage, and the article doesn't explain this.
The ridiculous and incompetent Tories of today might be changing this, but historically the UK has been fairly unique in that even their right wing party (the Conservative party) are fairly pro green policies. Conservation of the environment in the UK has been considered a Conservative party tradition and the UK Conservatives did not find it difficult to shift from environmental conservation at the local level to the global level (i.e. also acting against climate change). In fact, Boris Johnson was one of the biggest promoters of rewilding and reducing emissions.

Unfortunately the political incompetents running the Conservative party today have taken the result of a single local issue in a single election where they did pretty badly but did not do as badly as the worst case scenario and decided that it means the British public is for worse transit, worse environmental policies, and less government incentive to reduce energy costs and greening the grid.

I'm hopeful that whenever this ridiculous conservative party is forced to call an election (within the next year or so), the larger British public will punish them for it and get rid of the trash that has taken over the party.
Roasting/charring peppers is one I find much easier to do with a gas stove. A lot of the food I like to cook involves this step - fire roast some peppers, let them steam, remove the charred skin, and so on. Adds a real depth of flavour.

I could break out a blowtorch, or kinda badly do it in an oven (the taste is not the same/as deep as with fire), but the ability to just pop it on the flame for a minute is the best.

I’ve also found that I have much easier time controlling temperature with flame than even the really nice induction stoves, even with a LOT of practice.

Where induction is amazing IMO is delivering a lot of heat fast, so boiling water or getting a pan up to a high temp for searing.

Honestly, my preferred setup if I was building a kitchen would be a hybrid setup - one side gas, the other side induction.
> Searching "rice" for example will probably get you parboiled white rice, instant red beans and rice, chicken and rice canned soup, and rice pudding— many of those facets make perfect sense.

Well, no, if I ask for rice, the odds are overwhelming that I'm looking for rice, in which case chicken and rice canned soup is a totally inappropriate response. It would make as much sense as returning alcohol-free wine when asked for "alcohol".
> There's an entire 12V electrical system which stays active. [...]

I'm not that illiterate about cars or basic physics. I was trying to figure out what actually went wrong in their situation. Because I'd never heard of any specific cases of these actually happening. Previously these sounded incredibly less likely to me than what I'm now discovering here.
I dunno—Subaru figured it out.

There is a lot going on in what constitutes "common good" here. The standard "ethical" vegan position would contend that the happiness of animals count among intrinsic common good.

This is not open source. (but this does not take out the essence of your comment)

The huge caveat with this is that we often get nice open source developer tools out of these companies, but never good software targeted to end users. So others still need to work to provide open source software to actual users.
If it adds any context to this, Peter is one of the founders of Percona, a company built entirely around open source software and associated services.

That doesn’t mean you should agree with him, but when he says “ those crying how horrible Open Source is simply should not gone with Open Source to begin with” it does have a different meaning if you know where he comes from.
I've used a consumer grade air quality meter and never found use of my natural gas stove to be an issue, even if doing a lot of cooking, but my oven does impact air quality quite a bit after a couple of hours. No idea if running the hood fan would impact the emissions from the oven. Since it's a rental, I haven't gone searching for a cause. In general, the only time I need the oven for an extended period of time is when cooking a turkey. For most other things, the oven is inferior to various countertop devices.
Certainly the poor will appreciate their sacrifice for the good of helping climate change.
I’ve been using it to learn about/discuss/work on the same topic area for several years (since Obsidian’s first beta launch IIRC). Now I will regularly be writing up notes on a “new” topic and start tagging entities (or people/companies) and realize I already have some old notes on them. Then it’s easy to traverse the graph to find all sorts of adjacent context.

It just has a great balance of level of work required to add organization to your notes versus level of work required to leverage that organization.
Rigged Google restaurant reviews in Vietnam
Having traveled for a few weeks in Vietnam, the group I've been traveling with have noticed that quite a few restaurants that have 5 stars are using a sneaky tactic to game reviews on Google.

At the end of service, they ask specifically if you enjoyed the quality of the food, as well as the service, then if and only if you confirm both enthusiastically, do they hand you a QR code that takes you straight to the URL to leave a review.

This seems quite dishonest, as it's pre-selecting only positive reviews. My group of travelers have noticed anecdotally that really lackluster restaurants that use this tactic have 5 stars and a huge number of reviews, and it's completely destroyed our trust in the review system.

Has anyone else experienced this elsewhere?
> but certainly the hardware is useless without ongoing software development, and we're back to the original issue

It is by design. You are talking about company which count from 3.11 to 11 going via 98. ...
Why would the establishment be the only people worth listening to?

Just because they don't have an answer doesn't mean no one has an answer.

We've received many helpful tips on things to try from others suffering with the same symptoms. We have brains, and an ability to use scientific method to investigate for ourselves what works for us. Someone may say, "try this diet change - it worked for me". You don't need to be a doctor to try that.

This grounding thing doesn't seem hard to try out, and there's no obvious hazard with trying it.
