Your numbers are ahem a bit off. An iPhone 15 has a 3367 mAh battery. Around 12 watts. It lasts longer than 1 hours 12m. Probably even running full tilt.

I think your post indicates a narrow "can this power the whole phone" thinking that is over-applied when considering this power source. The power here is faint, but the energy is vast, & we should assess that merit too. The previous post called this is a 100mW battery. That's not enough power for active use for a phone, but it's probably enough to idle a phone ok, and if designed well leave some extra capacity for very slow charging a conventional battery, depending on the phone. That might be enough for some light phone use and being net neutral on any given day!

It might be enough to run some flip phones during calls, possibly.

Anyways, you've over hyped the requirements by 100x what's on offer here. I think even 2 or 3x what's available here is probably enough to make a phone than many people might never have to recharge, if supplemented by a higher power store (conventional chemical cell) to bank some of the output energy. The idea still sounds risky & scary to me, but I at least want us to be looking at vaguely the right order of magnitudes when we assess.
WhatsApp Parser for LLM Instruction Finetuning
Just started working on this small project where one can just convert their whatsapp conversations into an instruction dataset which can be finetuned with any OSS models for creating a clone of themselves.

Have added sensitive info redaction and also general whatsapp messages redaction when parsing and compiling the dataset.

Very early but appreciate any suggestions or discussions around this.
I've used a couple of these $30 8 port managed switches https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K4DS5KU/ another commenter mentioned for various things and been pleased. This is fanless, cloudless, and has web-interface configurable VLANs, LAGs, mirroring, jumbo frames, IGMP, and STP.
I had a thought a while back about interstellar flight:

If there are a lot of massive objects out there (rogue planets, maybe primordial black holes) then these could be used to aid acceleration and deceleration through gravity assist and the Oberth effect. (The latter describes how you get more acceleration thrusting near a massive body.)

You could fly along with an ultra sensitive gravity telescope / sensor and hop between massive objects.

You could also perhaps harvest propellant from some of these.

Long duration interstellar flight would be easier if the space between solar systems was not as empty as we think.
I think it's also because dating sites give relatively high signal on looks and low signal on personality/chemistry. People don't necessarily filter by looks on dating sites because looks is what matters most to them, but because looks is the only dimension they have reliable enough information available to filter on.

Imagine a 1-10 scale for looks, personality, and chemistry, and imagine that a person has some minimum sum that they're looking for--say they want at least a 20 across these three categories. If dating sites give you an accurate read on looks to within 2 points, personality within 4 points, and chemistry within 6 points, then the fastest and most reliable strategy to achieve the 20 would be to filter first by looks on the dating app, then filter the other qualities in person where you can get a better measure.
So does generalizing an entire sex based off a handful of anecdotal experiences. I’ll never condone bullying, but I also teach my children not to make themselves a target. Rejection happens sometimes, if it keeps happening maybe we need to do some self-assessment. Joining an echo chamber of people who blame society or an entire genders autonomy for their own personal issue is not healthy.
The best way to do this is to train a LoRA so that the model knows the person's likeness.

Efficiency can be a problem in and of itself. Efficiency is a fine enough goal, though too often companies pursue it to the point that other important values like safety, resiliency, and long-term stability fall by the wayside. They'll also pursue efficiency by externalizing costs and risks to other parties. That's basically what you see in the rail shipping industry [1]. Companies will naturally pursue effiency. Nationalizing a company may be going too far, but we need something else (i.e., government) to pressure them to maintain other values too.

We are also collecting on 30 second intervals instead of 10, which makes evidence of incidents a little more ambiguous. Not impossible, just slightly more stressful to handle a production incident. Like that guy you don’t hate, but are bummed he showed up to your party.
My understanding is that the lithium in the salton sea is relatively less accessible than other nearby lithium deposits, such as the new mine starting up in northern Nevada. Sort of nearby I suppose.

Between that and the increasing availability of sodium ion batteries it may never actually be economical to mine the Salton Sea, especially considering people actually live nearby and would be affected by the mine; unlike the mines in northern Nevada.

This reminded me of the time I saw Carlin live. It was just after one of his special on HBO, so the show I saw was him workshopping all new material for the next special.

Sometimes in the middle of a joke he would stop, say "Sorry I fucked that up I'm gonna start over", and then start over that part of the show. And some of the jokes had funny bits in the middle but when you saw them on the eventual next special they were much tighter and more polished. And sometimes the jokes fell flat and weren't in the next special.

This feels like one of his workshops. If this were preformed live in front of 100 nights of audiences and tuned up, it would be amazing.
Wag the AI Dog
This is not quite the problem I was asking (i wanted to know how many numbers smaller than N this is true for, not the first N numbers it's true for), but it illustrates my point anyway: the i.1000 generates an array of all numbers [0,1000) that is then immediately discarded. In imperative and functional languages, you don't need to do that: in an imperative language it's just loop counter, and in a functional language with lazy evaluation (e.g. Haskell), it's a lazy list that doesn't ever store all 1000 numbers.

My question is: will J cleverly optimize away the i.1000 array? Is it lazily generated, like in Haskell? Or is this just one of those "we don't really care about the memory of the i.1000 array, it's usually small in practice"? Like, for high performance stuff, it seems relevant to me that you spend an extra O(n) memory for no real reason.

Yes, but the big thing which will make it truly EOL is when the long-term support Linux distributions drop it. Right now you can have a fully supported system from Red Hat, Amazon, Ubuntu, etc. with Python 2 on it. All of the slackers have been delaying upgrades because that extended support means they don’t immediately fail their compliance audits.

Read the article. It proposes breaking it up into competitive firms, not having the government run it.

Its premise is actually that it’s essentially a government run entity now, and that’s what needs to change.
I don't think so. There are a lot of people in these kind of threads that always try to redefine words to fit their world view (which is more often than not the just world hypothesis in a nutshell). It's typical of the american/wantrepreneur mentality and bias. Downvotes are performative and it's useless to go against the current in this case.
You're very naive if you think there would be a follow up
That’s an interesting argument. Took me two reads to get it but you might have won me over
But since it died, the only one Python getting any changes now is Python 3, so the "3" part may be viewed as redundant now.
And the consumer will pay for it.

It's never happened to me! Technically, the physical SIM card is still the property of the mobile carrier, in much the same way as a credit card is the property of the lender - you're renting the card as well as access to the service that it facilitates. Maybe Verizon has a company policy now not to issue physical SIM cards?

Verizon don't operate in my area, so I don't think my recommendations would be of any help^, but I would certainly take my custom elsewhere if their employees ignored me like they did you.

^ Might as well say anyway: I'm a satisfied customer of RWG mobile, who operate from South Wales and whose SIM cards work across the UK and (for a charge) the EU. They resell Now services, who themselves resell EE services. I'm not sure how the connection is so affordable with that many middlemen!
Well, NYC has wildly differing levels of affluence mostly segregated into neat neighborhoods, sometimes even along a nice north-south gradient.

What's interesting here is how there's barely any pattern visible to me at all, besides lower manhattan = stay away. The most expensive McDonalds there for instance (besides airports), 1540 Westchester Ave is not affluent at all, the streetview is even covered in garbage.

love to see what your project repo looks like as a comparison.
It's really hard to say. I think saying "the west doesn't truly care" isn't 100% accurate. Some people in the "free world" do truly care about these things. Some are more internally focused- it's a mix. It is not impossible that the US will defend Taiwan against a Chinese invasion. It depends on who is president, who their advisors are, what are they thinking about. "Caring" about Taiwan or Taiwanese might be some part of that calculation. For one thing the US having declared that it will do so increases the chances that they actually will, and their presence in the region also increases the probability. Do they have a variety of other considerations? Sure. Are they acting out of self interest, also sure. But the interests appear to somewhat align (i.e. it is in the US's interest that Taiwan remains in the western sphere of influence and it's also what Taiwan seems to want, and it's what China doesn't want).

If it was clear that the US would stay out of it then perhaps China would have already retaken Taiwan. Arguably some of the other conflicts are really part of the same power struggle. Russia's half-failure in Ukraine is maybe causing China to take a pause.

Ukraine and Israel are a little different. Israel has the capability to defend itself. Ukraine is arguably less strategically important. A direct confrontation with Russia has perhaps a higher risk of turning into a nuclear war.

Aside the fact that more features means more time spent supporting them- is it actually true that too many features degrade the product because it becomes too complicated? I disagree.

A good interface organisation can hide the most complex features from most users. The lack of a feature might force users to use a different product; but if the software is confusing, or bloated, this is a problem with its how it's organised and the quality of its code, not with the number of features per se.

Few substances are as addictive as Nicotine. At the same time it is a potent substance with such a high impact on the human system that it is used as stressor for medical tests where the step response is measured. Overdosing is feasible with retail size quantities. Not safe and definitely not safe for teenagers.

I agree with the sentiment more than the solution.

In the American system, the gov should assess punitive fines for regulatory failures, revoke self regulation privileges, and impose consent decrees on company behaviors.

The combined impact of these actions would cost Boeing billions which would result in shareholder action to replace management.

Perhaps the gov should also investigate willful neglect on the part of management. If it’s found that engineers complained about policies for reasonable safety concerns and management ignored them, then personal liability, perhaps even criminal, would extend to the directors and executives.

I don’t know how much of this would happen, or be found guilty in court. But I do hope this isn’t just another administrative slap on the wrist like 2019.

Which interpretation? And which sites?

Most sites even back then were using generated female profiles to fill things out; and bots to create some messages for male customers who were ‘not engaged enough’. None of that (or total numbers multiplication) was necessary for female members.

It seemed to get much worse after I left the industry - it was sleazy back then, and it seems to have gotten waaaay worse over time.

Not surprising really.
Art is a bit like technology in that respect. If you got into it expecting everything to stay the same, well... that was a bad call, wasn't it.

The Celestia project was dormant for nearly a decade. It becomes hard to package unmaintained software. I haven’t kept up with who the new owner is or what they’re doing, so there could be reasons it hasn’t been picked up again by the distros.

Back in the late 2000s, Celestia was certainly an amazing experience for me. I see there’s a mobile version now, which makes me happy. It works pretty well on my iPhone, although the UX is not perfect.

Cool, thanks. I guess https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/80644/wher... must be obsolete, then (from the linked video: “We built a system that enforces that the light comes in at 45 degree angles; that helps keep the shadows consistent from the top to the bottom of the screen”). Wonder why they did that. Seems like the source is approximately above (50%, 0), though I can’t be bothered working out if that 0 is exactly the top of the screen.

Disobedient? She's being fired. Honestly, I think the whole thing is mostly a nothing burger. Gen not-my-gen finding out about capitalism and at-will employment at the worst time, I guess. Watching tech over the last year makes it clear how out of touch lots of people are. Employers, employees, exploiters, exploitees. Especially the highly-comped ones. All of the sudden surprised the gravy train has run out.

But "disobedient", is quite a word choice.
When using that workaround the Dynamic Island will show that the app is using navigation. It's a prominent UI indicator impossible to miss. Much more obvious than the small location icon next to the clock.

I listened to the first ~5 episodes of The Array Cast wanting to be persuaded, but I just couldn't buy in.

They downplayed the terseness and non-ASCII symbols of the array languages as something you get used to and something that's worth it to get the benefits of array languages, but the benefits they listed were mostly ones that I'm already very familiar with from working with higher-order functions in most mainstream languages today.

It felt like the hosts had missed that map/filter/reduce have gone mainstream and are now available ~everywhere without having to learn a whole logographic writing system first.

Cockpit windows are also manufactured by a third party specialist glass company (i.e. PPG Aerospace, not Boeing), cost about the same as a new car precisely because they get subject to the sort of stress that is inclined to break a layer, and subject to regular inspection. Plus in this case it appears the other layers of the window did their job and avoided anything more than an annoyingly expensive but routine return to base.
