How do you feel about internal migration? Like people moving from rural areas to urban areas for work? The classic, Kansas to New York or California?

Does that kind of migration of workers suppress wages? Why or why not? Does remote work suppress wages since one can live in a remote location with low costs compared to the Bay Area?
In fact some employers will create listings with very specific requirements they have no intention of filling so that they can site it during visa applications.

I actually don't know if this is still a thing, but it was absolutely happening back in the early 2000s. In order to sponsor a TN visa you needed to show several months of trying to find local talent to fill the position. The only proof you actually needed was dated classified ads.

Bad actors always ruin best intentions.
As "somebody who just bought a 2013 Toyota Yaris Hybrid":

Full EVs are for some selected few... Here in Germany it's just homeowners with PV already installed. I did the math before deciding on the hybrid and literally everybody else is paying more for electricity (at 0.4€/kWh) and is producing more CO2 (at avg. 400g/kWh).

I really pity the guys in their Dacia Spring SUVs in the supermarket parking lots (at 0.6€/kWh) who bought a EV to "do the right thing" here.

(That said, that's a problem very unique to Germany ... Most countries around us have cheaper electricity and a smaller CO2 footprint per kWh.)
> And do you keep spare gas in cans ready, before the outage?

A lot of folks keep a 5 gallon for their lawn mower… although gas powered mowers are going the way of the dinosaur too

But yes, I tend to keep 2-4 5 gallon containers of 4 stroke gas. I’m almost certainly an outlier, but in more rural areas where you have to be self sufficient it’s not rare.

Heck, a lot of pickup trucks have diesel tanks with 12v pumps built into the bed.
There's no confusion at all about whether we are trying to a UGC platform to make games (i.e AI Roblox). We are definitely not an asset store. Even though you can create assets in Rosebud, it's a feature of the entire workflow, which is focused on converting user descriptions to games.

I think some confusion may be arising from just going to rosebud.ai and seeing the demo video. Instead go to https://play.rosebud.ai/home to make games and play the games other people already made to test it out! Love to hear your comments about the development experience there!

You are right that there is a developer tool angle here, but I think what's interesting to experiment with respect to the business model is whether developers want to be charged first by using the tool (like unity) versus only when they are successful (like unreal). Roblox is able to collect rent because they help the developers build an audience. What we have to show is that our platform can also help developers build an audience to justify collecting rent.
The really interesting question, given that it seems that ground to satellite communication using normal LTE modems is possible, is whether it's also possible to track the location of every cellphone in the country using the same technology.

Nah, just google 'high power fiber cable', these are used to transfer light in laser steel cutters. As these are already in practical, industrial use we can assume that their spec is in line with what is currently realistically achievable for an optical fiber power transmission over a distance of a few meters max. For instance a SMA905 Fiber Cable can deliver meager 50 Watts and its external diameter is 5 millimeters which is laughable low compared to how much power you could push through a copper cable with the same external diameter, that is including electrical insulator.
There are examples of devices released every day in each of these categories that don't have any of these restrictions.
Sure, but we don't have to look past them to get to 50% market share. The market can grow by 5x without moving past them.

The problem in the US is that you have to have really large market share to start convincing property owners that they should install chargers. Thankfully, we are seeing this, with widespread installations at hotels this year. I'm guessing apartments won't be too far behind that in metropolitan areas.
To be fair to your last paragraph, you're less annoyed at EVs than at new cars in general. All new cars are trending towards this, with a few stragglers for the models that haven't been refreshed in a while.
Thanks for sharing.

I can't quite explain it, but... having not known of the existence of such cables, and despite the fact that it's good I don't have a use for one since they're not exactly cheap, there's something about them that makes me want to buy one.

I've really no idea why, but I even spent a few minutes wondering if there's anything I've never done due to not having a cable like that, but didn't think of anything.

(And it's not like I'm a cable collector or enthusiast or anything like that, generally!)
I knew of this issue for some time (default DB isolation is less than SERIALIZABLE on most DB).

The "Topics API" isn't really for Google. Basically, in the market of ad platforms, platforms other than Google are much more reliant on third-party tracking than Google itself is. Given that, regulators would not allow Google to remove third party cookie support from Chrome because it would unfairly benefit their own ad platform. The "Topics API" (and previous attempts) have been Google trying to find the most privacy-preserving thing that they could use to replace third party cookies and that would convince the regulators to allow them to remove third party cookies.
Can't speak for how things are operated now that Broadcom has taken over, but when I was at VMware (departed in 2020), it was an open secret that there were job roles posted to fish for 'good candidates' that there was no immediate intention of hiring for unless a particularly valuable candidate showed up in the pipeline.

I'm looking to dive into challenging backend development tasks and embrace the latest in web technologies. I'm eager to apply my skills in complex, cloud-based systems, and I'm always up for learning new things to stay sharp in my field. I thrive in team-oriented environments where collaboration sparks innovation. While I have a good understanding in backend development, I'm also interested in opportunities that let me explore full stack development. Most importantly, I want to be part of projects that make a real difference, improving user experiences and streamlining business processes.
This is why I bought a PHEV. Only one car, 90% of the time we're on electric, and I still have the gas engine for when I want to go far.
Taking something from a research prototype proof-of-concept to production absolutely counts as innovation. In some ways it's the most difficult and impactful phase of innovation.

Likewise there's an early DARPA project for basically any technology you care to name. That says a lot about US budgetary politics and not much about the tech itself. Spend a few hundred million on most research and development and it's a big-government boondoggle; make it a national security appropriation and no one in Congress will bat an eye.

Those young engineers have worked really hard and done some extremely impressive things. Perfectly possible to acknowledge that, whatever you think of the majority shareholder.
Curious if you looked at any PHEV options?
The repair mission couldn't have been done by Eva only. There was to much work and it would have taken forever and most of it couldn't have been done with their suits since it was very precise work.

They had to take it into the shuttle's cargo bay to do the repairs. They worked on it for 5 days and changed the faulty instruments and also changed the solar array and gyroscopes.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Soyuz just doesn't have the capacity to do that type of mission.
>I think armed security will be able to get their own food from the stores. No single man no matter who they are in a SHTF scenario could realistically convince enough people to keep them safe. In fact his security would be the ones with all the power, he would have none.

Even using tool like this it seem to be a combinatorial explosion issue.

Ah yes, Perceptron. Had a couple typos.. sorry, was on phone.

The bio-inspiration was via Frank Rosenblatt, who is referred to in that article tho yeah, the history is over in his article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Rosenblatt#Perceptron

"Rosenblatt was best known for the Perceptron, an electronic device which was constructed in accordance with biological principles and showed an ability to learn.

He developed and extended this approach in numerous papers and a book called Principles of Neurodynamics: Perceptrons and the Theory of Brain Mechanisms, published by Spartan Books in 1962.[6] He received international recognition for the Perceptron.

The Mark I Perceptron, which is generally recognized as a forerunner to artificial intelligence, currently resides in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C."

Your Juergen page is interesting, tho no direct comment on Rosenblatt there. He does cite the work on this page:

https://people.idsia.ch/~juergen/deep-learning-overview.html (refs R58, R61)

My reading is that a long-known idea, about multi-variate regression, was reinterpreted by Rosenblatt by 1958 via the bio-inspired Perceptron, and then that was criticized by Minksy and others and viable methods were achieved by 1965. When I was taught NNs by Mitchell at CMU in the 1990s (lectures similar to his book Machine Learning), this was the same basic story. Also reminds me of a moment in class one day when a Stats Prof who was surveying the course broke out with "but wait, isn't this all just multivariate regression??" :) Mitchell agreed to the functional similarity, but I think that helps highlight how the biomimicry was crucial to developing the idea. it had laid hidden in plain sight for a century.

Agreed, and I was aware, there has since been criticism of the biological plausibility of backprop.

Your further links with refs to backprop in transformers are interesting; I hadn't seen these. It's clear the term is being used like you say, tho I still see ambiguity of it utility here. Autodifferentiation, gradient descent, multi-variate regerssion etc. are ofc in common use and scanning these papers it's not clear to me the terms aren't simply to a point of conflation. What had stood unique for me with backprop was a coherent whole-network regression. This to me looks like a piecewise approach.

But anyways, I see your point. Thanks!
Somehow I think of epigenetic processes. That COVID had an interaction with the way genes for mitochondria are transcribed. I also heard somewhere that mitochondrial dysfunction is related to psychiatric diseases, IIRC bipolar disorder or depression. Although that mechanism seems different as antidepressants and mood stabilizers don't make a dent long COVID.
I have never been able to do transparency or background images in a terminal- it's so distracting to me.

I'd be interested to hear comments from someone who likes this and if it's difficult to read and they don't care or make other modifications to increase contrast etc

Yes, other than those.

And once all (or let's say most) vehicles are self driving and powered by sustainable energy, things will be overwhelmingly better on all those dimensions.

Meantime, you could adopt some driving-analog version of the following approach, but don't expect most of us to do so:

This was the dumbest lawsuit ever. Like, users would go in incognito mode, sign into google while in incognito mode, and then be surprised that google as a company would track that activity. It's such a twist of logic to say that the incognito mode messaging would apply to google as a company rather than to the behavior of the browser itself.

Paper that mentions that it's fountain pen friendly is usually helpful. My go to "cheap" paper is Black & Red Notebooks. I tend to use Rhodia a lot, but that may be pricier for some.

While the tool creates the chip by placing at the gate level, the designs themselves can be studied at the transistor level if you want. You can study the actual chip gds file or look up the gds for each standard cell individually.

Is being tied to the JVM that much of a problem these days? Developer workstations and servers have much more compute and RAM these days, and native compilation with GraalVM seems to eliminate high JVM startup times and memory overhead. Quarkus for example is known for a snappy developer experience.

If you really want to nerd snipe, write an optimized version in a non-JVM language to compare to the fastest Java one. But that's kind of boring anyway, we've seen this play out a thousand times.

I still appreciate the intention of seeing how far we can squeeze performance of modern Java+JVM though. Too bad very few folks have the freedom to apply that at their day jobs though.

>They take these antibiotics from the metapleural gland

The fact that a gland could arise through natural selection makes over 112 different components from anti-biotics to chemicals blows my mind.

The underlying theory that "random mutation" and errors in the copying of ant DNA created a secretion sac is crazy to me. I imagine this first ant was like the "Mule" in foundation, where he could introduce chemicals to "Control and conquer". There seems to be some underlying learning mechanism built within "Random mutation".

Both general aviation and motorbikes have a track record (at least in relative terms) that's pretty good _with respect to injuring or killing third parties_, which I thought was the thrust of the inquiry.
I don't think it's a reasonable assumption to look at industrial use cases over small distances compared to long-distance operations -- the design criteria are different.
> a low level pretend filesystem driver

Plan 9 IS NOT Linux or Unix. It is a pure VFS and only speaks 9p. A plan 9 file server serves a real file system. Think of the file server as an abstraction that closely resembles a micro service. It handles the multiplexing of multiple clients who might want/need to open the same file.

If you have a sign that takes formatted text via RS232 then you don't need the file server or the logic as the sign already handles this. You just need to write text to /dev/eia0 or whatever. Setting the com port settings is done via the com ports control file /dev/eia0ctl. This means you can use a shell script to set the com port settings by echoing the baud and all that into the ctl file.

However, what if you bought an LED panel that was just a bunch of LED's? It doesn't understand text or formatting so now you need to hook it to a CPU and write code. In this case, a file server running on a pi would be a great interface to handle that. The server would contain the logic to accept a formatted string of text and turn that into glowing LED's. Then any program can open that file to operate the display like a script, python program, or web server.
I prefer the thin body of these versus the fancier uni-ball pens, personally. Also love to fidget with the metal arm on the cap.

The article nails it really. The core problem here is that a small minded swap from ICE to EV is only a mild implementation improvement on top of an already fragile transportation system that is riddled with problems.

The government could really get the ball rolling by incentivizing a switch further by by adding more stick along with the current carrots, adding a carbon tax to make ICE vehicles less appealing, but that is likely to be unbelievably contentious as it is in Canada.

The bigger gains have always been a more fundamental transformation of the transportation system from car oriented to a multi-modal system of moving people around via walking/cycling/bus/train.

The article suggests that this is expensive but I don't really think it is. Cycling infrastructure is unbelievably cheap compared to everything else, and walking is made more viable at the stroke of a pen simply by changing the zoning and building code to actually allow people to build walkable neighbourhoods with retail amenities, which unbelievably remain outright banned in so many places.
Beyond not having enough batteries, there aren't even enough lithium mines.
