Thank you for the clarifications. I just purchased an N64 Console to re-visit a childhood I never really explored (didn't have Nintendo as a kid).

All this modern history was mind-blowing... a way-underpriced local CL listing for an N64 (with ALL the old games) has taken me way too far into this reverse-engineered rabbit-hole.
I literally just asked that on a different related post.

I think it's more down to engrained quirks in the existing implementation. IIRC, adobe gave mozilla an open-source implementation of actionscript 3 back in the day to try and help legitimize it as an ECMAscript implementation.
I've begun thinking that human wages are a good indication of how hard a job will be to automate.

It turns out we already have general intelligence (producible in about 16 years) available on demand. And so, the market is already a good indication of which jobs are easy and hard to automate for general intelligence.
A bowl with dolmas (stuffed grape leaves), marinated beans, Greek salad, olives, and even a precooked protein can be made entirely from canned and room temp ingredients.

If you can open the freezer, ceviche is a really nice food to enjoy with fresh veggies and requires no heat.

That said, I agree with the others here that a camp stove would be worthwhile if only to feel like you’re eating a true at-home dish rather than a backpacking meal. You can likely get away with this in your garage so long as you maintain good ventilation when the burner is on.
No. Self-attention is more akin to kernel smoothing[0] on memorized training data that spits out a weighted probability graph. As for consciousness, LLMs are not particularly well aware of their own strengths and limitations, at least not unless you finetune them to know what they are and aren't good at. They also don't have sensors, so awareness of any environment is not possible.

If you trained a neural network with an attention mechanism using data obtained from, say, robotics sensors; then it might be able to at least have environmental awareness. The problem is that current LLM training approaches rely on large amounts of training data - easy to obtain for text, nonexistent for sensor input. I suspect awareness of one's own existence, sensations, and thoughts would additionally require some kind of continuous weight update[1], but I have no proof for that yet.

[1] Neural network weights are almost always trained in one big run, occasionally updated with fine-tuning, and almost never modified during usage of the model. All of ChatGPT's ability to learn from prior input comes from in-context learning which does not modify weights. This is also why it tends to forget during long conversations.
> with FPTP the main parties are all big tents that just represent the centre-left or centre-right.

FPTP by itself might not be so bad, but combine it with primaries and you’ve got a recipe for extremism and scorched earth politics. Now throw in gerrymandering and we’ve got a wildly unrepresentative election process.

Don’t get me started on the electoral college either. I’m for a national popular vote.

See e.g. [1]. As long as the Panama Canal is at capacity, they don't need to compete with the Panama Canal. They need to compete with long detours:

> The Panama Canal has become so backlogged that the world’s largest operator of chemical tankers has decided to reroute its fleet to the Suez Canal.

> London-based Stolt-Nielsen, which has a tanker division with 166 ships, is charging customers additional costs for the longer route, it said in an email. A bottleneck at the Panama Canal due to low water levels has prompted shippers to divert to Suez, the Cape of Good Hope, or even through the Strait of Magellan off the tip of South America.

And so, presumably, they're assuming that irrespective of resolution of these immediate issues, the Panama Canal won't be able to keep up with demand.

How would you even see that? Can you describe in more detail?
What about using Visual Studio Code with your notes in multiple Markdown files with automatic syncing to Google Drive via the desktop Google Drive app?

Searching multiple files, editing and organising files is quick and simple on desktop, and you can fallback to Google Doc on mobile when needed (Google Drive app lets you view .md files, there's no way to edit?). You can install extensions as well (like for doing inline maths) and if you already use Visual Studio Code for coding it's one less thing to learn.

I'm not familiar with Obsidian, which gets mention a lot. What does it improve on compared to the above if you don't need a mobile app or complex linking between Markdown files?

Unfortunately the housing market is rather more complicated than simple supply and demand. Houses aren't lemons or bicycles.

Where you sit on the 'available income for housing' curve determines the location and quality of the house/apartment/tent you live in. If lots of people with higher incomes appear, then you get moved down accordingly. If lots of tourists with higher propensity to spend on temporary accommodation appear, you get moved down accordingly. If lots of 'funny money' turns up looking for a place to be parked, you get moved down accordingly.

Where people get distressed if is the location and quality that they can afford is not reasonable to them (either actually or by their perception).

Building high quality well-located homes may help (if that is even possible), as everyone can 'move up' to the next rung on the quality/location ladder. However you may get induced demand, as the slight drop in prices brings more high earners/tourists/funny-money, in which case normal earners will not see the benefit.

Alternatively, restricting high-earners/tourists/funny-money will move normal earners up the ladder, without having to lay a single brick. However there may be some economic downsides to that, depending on what exactly is proposed.

For example banning AirBnB would likely be a large net positive to most European cities.
For anyone new to it, the words you’re looking for are “continuous glucose monitor” (GCM), and “flash glucose monitor”.

Popular brands of it in the US are Freestyle Libre and Dexcom.

Their final cost to you will vary hugely by your insurance provider. Some with little to no cost, and others several dollars per day.

If you like data and are analytical by nature, and since you’re on HN that’s fairly likely, I’d highly recommend using them for a little while if you can afford it. They’re great for newly diagnosed people to understand in near real time without repeated finger pricking. But those are no terrible either and much better than not managing and monitoring! Slightly annoying at first but it is something that most people can get used to fairly easily.
We abandoned this because it produced markup that was horrible to maintain.
> One man's fearmongering is another's "that's objectively going to inhibit your ability to be long-term functional at a basic level, and more so the lower your socioeconomic status".

That's not the kind of fearmongering I'm talking about. I'm talking about withholding information about drugs, talking only about the risks they pose and all the reasons why nobody should ever take them. The "war on drugs" isn't just about telling people about the very real risks of drugs, it's about convincing people that these risks are all drugs are, and that if they want to take them, they are on their own and will face criminal charges or imprisonment. That is trying to scare people so much about drugs that they avoid them purely on the basis that they are scary and risky and illegal.

While this works on a lot of people, it does not work on everyone, and those that want to try a substance anyway are left completely on their own. They do not have a safe supply, they do not have reliable sources of information about the substance they plan to take, they do not have instructions or help to take it in a way that is safe.

It's not a good justification to say that this is okay because nobody should be taking these substances in the first place. You can't just prevent all drug use. Plus, some people legitimately have brain chemistries that would benefit from things like psychedelic trips or microdosing, even outside of a clinical environment under the supervision of a medical professional. There is little reason to make it difficult for them to take a substance like LSD safely and responsibly if it is a substance that can be used that way.

To be clear, I'm not talking about junkies or drug addicts here. There are communities of people who seek mind-altering experiences as a form of curiosity and adventure, and not as a coping mechanism to escape reality or generate endless pleasure. It can be a recreational activity that doesn't deserve the stigma that it has gotten.

> It's almost like it isn't worth the risk.

The problem is that risk is artificially created. That risk does not have to exist. People could have access to safe, regulated supplies of drugs, just like pharmacies have access to safe regulated supplies of potentially life-altering medication for things like ADHD. Just like you can buy cough medicine from the store and not be afraid that it has fentanyl in it and that you could get sick and die from touching the package. (Fentanyl isn't anything like that by the way, that's such ridiculous exaggeration on the part of the media.)
It's funny how many people like you have to pop on and do the opposite of virtue signalling (vice signalling?) to try and fail to prove a point.

The 'edgy, uncensored' internet you know about isn't even close to what paramedics and people in the OP experience. I know people that did the same thing, they grew up on that side of the internet. One of them became a paramedic and had to quit after a few years because it was starting to severely break them.

But by all means, if you're the kinda person to go 'Nah, I wouldn't break' then you should give these jobs a shot. See how far you get.

It's an interesting point of view, but the assumption that human society is bound to replicate internally the natural law of increasing entropy is quite the naturalistic fallacy. Until now, there hasn't been, to our knowledge, rational processes in our universe, capable of self reflection and decision making regarding their own behavior and organization, so past observations are not really relevant.

Sure, humanity is just another physical process that will ultimately dissolve in a high entropy lukewarm soup, but as long as we have access to low entropy, high energy density sources, we can buck the trend and choose to do quite unoptimal things, such as assigning individual rights to every individual, even those unfit for reproduction.

Zooming out past the current Stelliferous era of the universe and into the distant black hole and dark eras might risk losing quite a bit of nuance about humanity's nature and destiny.
It was an EV6 though, not a Tesla. So it had a disadvantage to start with.
These articles always have a slightly skeezy tone. They're usually using biomass as a hook to get people's attention, but then have to sort of admit that's bullshit which kind of makes a mockery of the whole thing.

> A portion of BC’s razed forests are being used to make wood pellets

Could we be more precise than "a portion"?

> Wood pellets are enmeshed in BC’s forestry industry, and proponents claim that pellets help utilize waste generated from producing other products, such as lumber. The catch, according to Connolly, is that “BC’s forestry system is fundamentally unsustainable.”

Oh, so the whole thing is unsustainable?
You'd only keep sinking in until you had displaced your mass in lava. Which would happen sooner than in water.
It's perfectly possible that that cost difference is massively exaggerated. It might well just be 95$ vs 100$. But if you don't have the information that one is far more risky, then you always pick the 95$ option, don't you?

Lol, I would doubt Parson Woodforde’s maid resembled Kate Beckinsale—either in an appropriate or an inappropriate outfit. ;) My guess is he probably meant she was a little mouthy and stubborn for his standard of a servant. Both of those terms generally meant someone who was impudent, although “saucy” at the time did have connotations of lasciviousness. So, although he was a bachelor and a priest, it’s not to say that his use of the term would have been entirely angelic, haha.

The main thing that bugs me about HTML is how it’s so easy to goof up closing tags and attributes. Yeah browsers can deal with malformations to some extent and modern editors help prevent them but it still feels not-great.

That’s why I like HTML for the site’s frame and markdown for the content. The amount of HTML is then finite and easy to keep correct and Markdown is harder to mess up due to its simplicity.
It is an assumption of course.

it would be rather rude to assume the opposite.

TDD: For Those Who Don't Know How to Design Software
ActionScript and JavaScript are basically the same language, considering the roots of them both and that they share 99% of the syntax and functionality, ActionScript being a "lite" version of JavaScript. They're definitely more similar than they are different.

The only major difference (which is incidentally also probably why JS "won") was that JS came from development that happened out in the open, as FOSS, while ActionScript was a proprietary language from a company.
Nah in the audiophile world everything is backwards. They don't care about clarity or not altering the signal and reproducing it as it was originally made.

They care about distortion. Distortion added under the guise of "warmth" and so on.

Vinyls can only reproduce a particular segment of freq and fairly poorly. You need a special (riaa) eq to flatten it out.

Valve amps distort sound as they warm up. Usually in form of boosting bass or vocal range a Lil.

I mean crikey audiophiles are some of the most backwards sector of tech heads. On one end you got latest and greatest class d ganfet amps with pfc. Legit go geez the output of something like an Admark AD442 in a 1U rackspace. Then go geez the folks still buying monoblock 100w amps that take up the space of about 6U. Lol the admarks a few grand. The monoblocks 30k. Irony is they will both usually get fed from a sub 100 dollar dsp chip in a speaker management device that's the real heart of the sound reproduction.

This old mates 1milly stereo is cool. But it's no paraflex (speaker shape style that combines front and back of driver output together). We've come a long way in 40 years of sound. Irony is that million buck rig would be matched by 10k of modern speakers and 5k in amps and processing. If it was in a stadium maybe 20k of speakers....

The TitanRF fabric isn't super durable, so a shell around it is a good idea.

I've had great luck with Ecofoil NT material, which is somewhere between cardstock and cheap poly tarp material in handling properties. (It's a polyethylene weave with foil on both faces.) Easy to work with, easy to fold and tape, easy to cover with other materials for durability. Super cheap in big rolls.

For 120VAC passthrough, the Delta 20DBAG5 is cheap and cheerful. Screw it into a metal junction box and tape all sides of the box to the chamber wall. But a battery in the box is simpler and quieter.

If you need windows/vents, avoid the hobby-store copper mesh that's meant as a stiffener for clay models; the way it's woven, it isn't guaranteed to have connections to itself in adjacent rows. It's good at first but any surface corrosion ruins it.

Go with punched or "expanded metal" sheet, even if you can't find copper, aluminum or stainless works fine in practice. Just make it significantly larger than the window opening and use plenty of foil tape at the edges; I suspect that capacitive coupling through the surface oxide layer means it's an RF short even if it looks open at DC.

I've been wondering if ITO-coated glass would work as a window but have not tried it. But it's no good for ventilation anyway so I'm not sure it's worth the bother.
Pretty much done in Europe.

First of all for vehicles with total mass of above 3500 kg you need extra license. And also separate one if you have a trailer. This is get it and keep it, until certain age. But good enough often.

And then in general commercial operations also need more licensing. Which needs to be renewed after certain time.
I worked for a service provider doing some cellular testing and we had a special clear box that did this. It was probably expensive at the time. I wonder how well those faraday bags or boxes for $20 work from amazon or ebay.

I can appreciate Go's design philosophy of simplicity and emphasizing fast tooling + one way to do things.

But as someone who has done a ton of functional programming, to me it is just too conservative of a language. There actually has been progress in the PL space the past 50 years, and I personally prefer a language that includes them.

I think OCaml strikes a better balance between power and simplicity, it is probably the closest to Go in the functional programming space (and is also a systems language). It has a blazingly fast compiler, it's easy to understand how it executes things, compiles down to a single binary, the tooling is good. Very similar advantages to Go.
It makes a lot of rich people more rich at the expense of workers and retail investors. I don't think you'll ever be able to get rid of it.

Sure, as long as you have an even number of ships in your fleet and they can be paired off to carry the same number of containers. It's certainly solvable but adds a whole new level of logistical planning to make sure there is a suitable ship available and empty to receive the containers at the other end.
> Clearly, plenty of people, through both their actions and their words, have made it very clear that they don't believe that black lives matter, and the movement was always aimed squarely at them.

Correction: the movement is aimed at only a very small subset of black lives. It is not aimed at the much larger number of ones taken by other black people.

But I guess "a specific subset of black lives matter, and let's not talk about the others" doesn't quite roll off the tongue.
