My understanding of this proposition is looking at harvesting the thermal energy, which is beyond PV. The chimney is all about the thermal output.
Communist and anarchist LARPers are never honest, that is why they live in capitalist societies and not their desired form of society wherever they exist.

What do you mean? Copyright protects all creative works, and all authors of those creative works. That some have greater means to enforce was always true, and copyright doesn’t cause that, it (imperfectly) helps mitigate it. What copyright does is actually prevent them from stealing work from independent artists en masse, and force them to at least hire and pay some artists.

> I’d rather live in a world where anyone is free to make whatever art they want, even if everyone has to have a day job.

You’re suggesting abolish Copyright and/or the Berne Convention? Yeah the problem with this thinking is that then the big publishers are completely free to steal everyone’s work without paying for it. The very thing you’re complaining about would only get way way worse if we allowed anyone to “freely” make whatever art they want by taking it from others. “Anyone” means Disney too, and Disney is more motivated than you.

> You, as an indie hip hop or house musician supported by a day job, can’t sample and chop some vocals or use a slice of a chord played in a song… for a completely new work

Hehe, if you sample, you are by definition not making a completely new work. But this is a terrible argument since sampling in music is widespread and has sometimes been successfully defended in court. DJs are the best example of independent artists who need protection you can think of?
For receiving you don't need to download an application. Localsend can act as an http server, where everyone can just access it through their browser.
And also for water, which is closely related. PV doesn't (or doesn't have to) use any water.

What this is talking about is basically what's called the "superego" in Freudian writing.

Anyway, basically agree with the OP that societies try to find a stable configuration for it, but I like to think of it in physics terms: it's a stable attractor in the space of moral configurations, not exactly uniform everywhere but something that has a "pressure" keeping it close to a set of norms so that everything feels more-or-less safe and predictable. Perturbations are tolerated as long as their magnitudes are small and they die out over time.

Fads and changes of moral fashion, then, act like waves propagating in this substrate, as everyone's moral compasses realign slightly to account for the new concepts. Complete social revolutions, and likely physical revolutions, are "phase changes" in which the local inconsistencies become so great that they blow up to global transformations that reconfigure the whole thing at once.

Basically um society is a gas of moral compasses.
My guess is that most things that would boost selling price while narrowing buyers are not cheap which cancels (or mostly cancels) out the price increase, making it cheaper and more foolproof to go the boring inoffensive route.
So why did you post a link to something that's explicitly about PV?

I don't understand how hours run equates to your calculation unless it was always pulling 2,7 kW. Is this some 30 year old setup that doesn't have an inverter-driven compressor?

Also, wow your electricity is really cheap.
The title explains literally the whole concept:

Representing the "opinions" (or more appropriately dispositions) of each person as a vector, the belief system of a "tribe" (connected set of individuals) is probably the mean of these vectors.

And relgions seek to optimize the "morality" they preach (vector they propose as "god") to maximize membership / agreement / centralness of their god. Which of course (author does not point this out) is the mean of the population.

They could have expanded a little:

* By what metric do we define "closeness"? A higher norm would penalize dissent / divergence from "god" more.
* In the limit, how does dissent penalties affect the "coverage" of available religions? This is basically k-means with different defintions of "mean"
* You could model the problem as unsupervised clustering where k is unknown to predict how many religion clusters form, for a given population - if opinions could be measured.

on and on. Title was the most interesting part, the rest was just coffee kicking in.
Modern american evangelical christianity suffers from a particular moral rot that isn't unique to it but is also not common to other branches of the faith. Specifically, there's a firm conviction that once you're saved you remain saved, and you can find lots of people who behave as if as a result, nothing they do really matters. They can be selfish, they can be rude, they can be cruel, they can be unfaithful, and it's all fine in the end because they're still safe. They'll tell you of course that everyone should do their best, and they might even tell you that they're doing their best, but the basic tenets of their specific flavor of faith are essentially that Nothing Really Matters. The most extreme evangelical/nondenominational Christians take this especially far like the pastor in the article, and I feel bad for people of faith who have to share the same label with them.

(for context, I worked in evangelical christian ministry for multiple years when I was younger)
I would attribute that to the language/company putting in the effort for an easy install.

Yeah, I immediately skimmed the article to see if there were any pictures of what the author considers ugly so I could get a sense for what their tastes are and adjust for that accordingly, or even conclude that their opinions weren't relevant to me, and the one single picture of an example ugly thing that I was able to find looked absolutely perfectly fine to me, in fact I liked it. I think a lot of the complaints around ugly architecture are just matters of difference of aesthetics: I'm autistic and a have certain amount of brain damage to my vision centers and so I deal with sensory overload a lot, and so I tend to prefer interfaces and environments that are clean and simple, made of just enough shapes and colors to communicate the structure of things and that's it, with no extraneous ornamentation or gradients or whatever, so a lot of modern architecture looks fine or even nice and refreshing to me, like a glass of cool water. Meanwhile, most of the people I find complaining about this sort of thing are the typical hipsters and grouchy conservatives — both of the "I was born too late" variety and the "I was literally born a long time ago" variety — that are looking fondly on a past age just out of their own personal preferences and predilections, and probably without any real understanding of what it was like to live surrounded by overly ornate architecture all the time, which is perfectly fine for them, but then they make these Grand think pieces and statements about how things should be, which is frustrating since I would rather gouge my own eyes out then live in the world they would prefer oftentimes.

Otoliths are calcium carbonate structures that form in the heads of fishes that help with balance and orientation. Humans actually have similar things in their ear canals, they just don't aggregate and it's more like sand.

These structured grow with the fish and seasonal changes in growth rate cause lighter and darker alternating bands, similar to tree rings. When prepared correctly, these bands can be viewed and counted inter s microscope.

Similar methods are used in fin rays and spines, scales, and vertebrae, although otoliths are generally considered the gold standard
Given it's mostly text, it's curious there's no content-encoding applied to HTTP responses. Would reduce bandwidth by something like 70-90% in most cases.

Many things give you wifi speed, if you're connected to wifi.

It's usable over a SSH connection with X forwarding tho. It all depends on the quality of your connection.
True, even with a resistor. And with a chain of heat pumps you'd get the same heat or more, and free cool on the other end of the cascade. Good sites for mirror-based solar tend to be places where coldness is quite valuable.
Indeed it shows that the author is a hack and would flunk out of an academic program but taking phrases from other authors is inevitable.

Writers are allowed to write "It was a dark and a stormy night" over again.

Maybe the author liked the expression "fur-trimmed Afghans" - maybe he had the other author's book in front of him maybe he read it the previous day who knows?

As long as he is not copying whole pages verbatim and the end product is enjoyable this is not actionable.

There are plenty of authors who might be good plotters but stink at character development and vice versa.

It looks like Apple has a Mac Pro with a rack mount chassis. I’m slightly confused by this video, it came out a month ago, but is about M1 Macs… is this specifically a plan by GitHub to recycle old Mac minis?

Nearly all of that backend Apple infra runs on Linux and (formerly?) Solaris.
I am a Catholic Christian and a moral objectivist, so my thoughts are, of course, colored by my own religious and philosophic views. With that disclaimer out of the way ...

I don't think this rings true. It suggests that the morality espoused by a particular religion basically just boils down to public opinion. But there are a multitude of cases from my own and other religions where the message put forth by the religion was never popularly accepted by the prevailing community. You can move the goal posts, of course, and say that it's not the prevailing community's views that matter but the tribe's, and you can define "tribe" in such a way that it only applies to the people who accept a particular opinion -- but then that becomes a tautology.

It also suggests that the primary goal of religion is to attract new members, and so the religion is going to offer views that appeal to the majority of people. I don't think religion resembles politics in that way, at least not for the major world religions.
It's still wasteful. Shipping around unneeded parts that maybe will be reused?
This has nothing really to do with the concept of "god" or "God," really, and more an inspection of social rules.

Yes, most people think it's fine to initiate harm. It's foundational to the state. It's a choice to accept this, and go along with it.
I'm usually rather scathing of test cases, because they allow more affluent parties to exert undue influence on legal precedent. However, in this scenario I have nothing but congratulations to offer to the Software Freedom Conservancy: they took on a party several times their size, seeking resolution of a clear-cut GPL violation, and - most importantly - in a way that seems to me entirely compatible with the spirit of the GPL.

If one reads the articles written by the progenital big cheeses of the early Free Software Foundation (such figures as Richard Stallman, Eben Moglen and even Bradley Kuhn of the SFC himself), it's clear both from the legalese and the marketing slogans that user empowerment was the intention. Those old articles don't give me the impression that enforcement the GPL was ever supposed to be a privilege limited to the software author, even if this was the most conventional situation for copyright infringement cases and thus the only legally viable action.

I'd posit that the SFC are being lenient, even generous with their legal action against Vizio. Suing to enforce the GPL 3.0 rather than version 2.0 would have been slightly more so, considering the "cure within 30 days" provision introduced in the GPL 3.0 family. But that is all but irrelevant considering Vizio's long-standing disregard for copyleft license compliance.

Call it capitalism, call it competition, call it an optimization process or w/e but this is a common phenomenon. Whenever you have people trying to maximize some value they'll copy the strategy they view as most successful and other factors take a back seat.

Maximizing the resale value of a home involves making it appeal to the largest number of people. Adding character risks lowering demand by appealing to niche markets. So you end up with lots of white and grey.

You see similar things all over the place. Want to maximize your career? Better suppress your individuality in favor of copying how successful people speak, act, and dress.

If you've ever heard the term "TikTok Beat" that's a similar phenomenon where the most popular music on TikTok gets copied like a meme by wannabe famous music producers.

It's a process that ends up with bland results as variety is reduced over time. It's also dehumanizing as humanity is slowly stripped away due to inefficiency.

> They are arguing that a human with an AI has the same rights as a human who doesn't have an AI.

This is the analogy I want people against AI use to understand and never forget, even if they reject the underlying premise - that should laws treat a human who uses AI for a certain purpose identically to a human who uses nothing or a non-AI tool for the same purpose.

> Few people are claiming that the AI itself has the same rights as a human.

I think that's the case as well. However, a lot of commenters on this post are claiming that an AI is similar in behavior to a human, and trying to use the behavior analogy as the basis for justifying AI training (on legally-obtained copies of copyrighted works), with the assumption that justifying training justifies use. My personal flow of logic is the reverse: human who uses AI should be legally the same as human who uses a non-AI tool, so AI use is justified, so training on legally-obtained copies of copyrighted works is justified.

I want people in favor of AI use particularly to understand your human-with-AI-to-human-without-AI analogy (for short, the tool analogy) and to avoid machine-learning-to-human-learning analogies (for short, behavior analogies). The tool analogy is based on a belief about how people should treat each other, and contends with opposing beliefs about how people should treat each other. An behavior analogy must contend with both 1. opposing beliefs about how people should treat each other and 2. contradictions from reality about how similar machine learning is to brain learning. (Admittedly, both the tool analogy and the behavior analogy must contend with the net harm AI use is having and will have on the cultural and economic significance of human-made creative works.)
I generally port over collision code I wrote years ago. I kind of like it that way.

If I'm only doing 2D (and that is about all I have done) I don't really want/need a general collision framework. Code to detect rectangle collisions, circle-circle collisions, convex polygon collisions is fairly small and tight. Even the polygon collision code uses only simple linear algebra (dot products and such).

To your last point, because I own the code, I can guarantee no OOP ... I just use math.
Both are diffult to read and work with.

Yes the CPU is vendor defined behavior. However they usually write a spec.

The point is “undefined behavior” is more about gaps in the standard than bugs in programs.

What I love about the Boehm collector is the hack that enables it to work in a language with no runtime typing like C. It literally guesses what's a pointer. In C pointers are basically integers but they're unusual numbers, often quite large, and you know the entire set of valid numbers if you control malloc(). Surprisingly this worked even in 32 bit architectures.
Also shameless self promotion - if you're interested in 4D collision detection (and rendering, and rigid body physics), I've made a semi-tutorial-style repo here:

This is a pretty common practice with Tibetan Buddhists. There’s a traditional 3 year retreat that, depending on the practitioner, involves varying levels of contact with other humans. Often times it’s no contact, with an attendant dropping off supplies outside the cave every so often. Tenzin Palmo spent 3 years in full retreat in her cave [1], for instance, out of a total of 12 years in it.

They don't have the bandwidth to do it. They can't keep up in hardware design, CPU manufacturing (TSMC throughput), software, anything. They're running on all cylinders just trying to release a new phone, new OSes every year and in addition to that chasing the dream of creating some kind of new category (TV, watch, cars, VR headset) that they can't afford to assign engineers to something mundane that they can silently outsource.

Unlike companies like Google, Meta and Microsoft they are institutionally afraid of over-hiring and losing their culture. This is a conservative tradeoff where they may lose the ability to grow seemingly "small" markets (small=anything smaller than the iPhone) in favor of not losing their culture (becoming a Google or Meta which just squanders every opportunity)

You can create a hotspot and start a HTTP server. Scan a QR code to connect to the hotspot, then a QR code for the file URL. It's easy and works with any device with Wifi access.

For the server, on Android I use "Share via HTTP". On desktop running a lightweight HTTP server is easy too.

Edit:

Apparently that sounded complicated, here is how I can share a file from my phone to any other phone in the same Wifi.

- Click Share -> Share with HTTP.

- The app opens and shows a QR code.

- Other person scans the code. Their browser opens the file and they can do whatever they want with it.

If you have no Wifi:

- Open QR code for hotspot

- Other person scans QR code for hotspot, then for file.

If you still think it is too complicated, surely there is an opportunity create a simpler UI! From a technology perspective it does not have to be complicated.
This actually depends on your denomination quite a bit. What you're outlining is a fairly conservative approach. There's a decent sized amount of "charismatic" Christians who firmly believe in prophecy here and now. What qualifies as prophecy, and how to handle it can differ quite a bit from congregation to congregation.
What "privately" means is fuzzy. Clearly it can't be entirely private, because there's several ways that information can get leaked out and is outside of the browser/computers control (eg. someone looking behind you, or the various middleboxes in between your computer and the web server). If you read the notice in its entirety, you'd know what the notice meant by "privately". Likewise, if you read my comment in its entirety, you'd see that I explicitly acknowledged that the notice wasn't super obvious and required some reading comprehension, and my objection was with the "google finally admitting" characterization.
