EVs definitely are affected by the cold in a very negative way, and anyone who says otherwise doesn’t drive an EV in the cold. When it’s really cold out I greatly prefer to drive my ICE vehicle.

A huge amount of energy goes to just warming the cabin even before you talk about the resistance changes in battery chemistry.
The blame falls also on businesses which take money for services they don't deliver. They often know, and otherwise often could know, when subscribers are not using the service. If you're a business, you should earn your revenue, otherwise you are frauds. This particular behavior is little better than taking money and simply refusing to provide service. Don't tell me it's unintentional - you know what's happening and could easily stop it.

It should be shame that also falls on them, but somehow we give businesses a pass. No matter how awful or shameful, people say 'it's business' and those magic words absolve every evil. If you took monthly payment from your elderly neighbor to shovel their walk and it never snowed, it would be shameful to keep taking it - people's opinions of you would change negatively if they heard about it. If you said 'well, they have autopay setup and didn't stop it', you would look even worse!

People who are hungry obviously can't afford the food, so giving them free food does not withdraw them from the food market, as they weren't on it already. Consequently, the overall demand for food does not fall.
> And how do you get those tickets into the issue tracker in the first place?

I mean depends on the team but approximately:

1. Discuss high level initiative

2. Write tickets with coarse descriptions

3. Have team refine tickets (define scope + estimate)

4. Prioritize work and assign tasks

> How will an issue tracker help a team coordinate on a complex problem that needs to be worked through as a group?

Do you have an example where you think that a complex problem can't be broken into tasks and solved this way? I can understand with ongoing incidents maybe you need to solve them as a group in a time-sensitive manner, but those are rare events and the world's large companies have been solving them in distributed ways anyway so I don't think this is a remote vs. in-person problem.

> How does moving a ticket to a different status help you connect with the people you work with to build social capital you then spend on conflict? Who is coordinating and lubricating these interactions constantly because natural human interaction isn’t there to do it?

Honest question here: have you really had this problem at work? I think this is a pretty toxic situation to be in if you need to build social capital to solve conflicts. I really don't want to work in an environment where people are fighting hard enough to warrant needing social capital to get them through the discussions.

> Your comment feels like the comment a person might make if they thought building a cohesive team was a paint-by-the-numbers exercise.

It approximately is honestly. There are some small differences I'm sure, but it seems somewhat narrow-minded to focus on the relatively small differences when the vast majority of problems are universal (coaching/mentorship, working with stubborn/difficult personalities, removing single points of failure, giving people opportunities to advance their careers, etc.).

Doron's opinions are always fun to read.

People refer to him as the official mathematics troll (in a nice way).
that's only one part of what they're saying. Sure, conflict of interest is imoral, but telling me I am only allowed to do work for acquaintances and that once in a while... you can gently fluff off. And they keep repeating "a few hours per month", when they pay me for 160 hours out of 700 something in a month :).

The only valid point apart from conflict of interest is this, otherwise they should stop pretending they own my body, mind and soul:

For what it's worth, MySpace prior to officially being a social media site was created in '96 and officially launched as a internet network drive around 1999 cant remember the exact date, then was later sold to Murdoch and evolved more into a social media site later on but was already unofficially used as one. People shared music, short movies, porn. It didn't scale well as there was no de-duplication, files were stored in an EBCDIC database on a couple HP Surestore's which I and others upgraded a few times from 9TB to 18TB comprised of 4 and 9 GB drives, then eventually 18 GB drives.
But also if people didn't have mailboxes, they just had Amazon Boxes or Ebay Boxes, and if you had an Amazon Box they explicitly forbid you from shipping anything to it with any other delivery company.

And also if we were talking about software rather than physical goods, and there were about a thousand other complications that made it not quite a 1:1 metaphor.
Is that a comparison that makes sense?
The point is that reserves are only economically viable at a given price. At $0 there are 0 reserves because no one is willing to give you lithium. At $1 mil per kg, there is basically infinite reverses because you can do things like dig up the entire earth's crust and filter all the lithium out of it.

System76 is not Apple. I don't know why you'd expect them to have a wholly new chip set.

Maybe you can flash a given Clevo with the "equivalent" system76 firmware. Maybe you can't. I don't think you're going to get support from either if you do that, though.

You can ask them about it; they're pretty great about responding honestly.

Most cells that divide will eventually have DNA errors over time, but will not always become cancerous.

If we could find and repair DNA errors in normal cells, we could do it in cancerous cells as well. I don't think there's much of a difference.

The sad fact is that nasty and exotic chemicals provide ways to make many manufacturing processes cheaper and run large batches. When you're pushing the limits of everything and the stakes are high, you can't really take them off the table.

> Myanmar produces precious stones such as rubies, sapphires, pearls, and jade. Rubies are the biggest earner; 90% of the world's rubies come from the country, whose red stones are prized for their purity and hue.

Endpoint management are backdoors that allow IT to monitor every file on disk, every network connection opened, every program run, and every action taken on a company-owned workstation, as well as allowing full control over the system including installing and removing programs; creating, editing, and deleting files; viewing what's happening on the screen; and shutting things down entirely if desired.

> Yes, selling for cheap is better than not selling at all, but if the government entities keep being stingy, maybe next time the company won't develop a treatment for a rare disease at all because it's just not worth it...

Which is exactly the problem. And it's even worse than that, because it's a global market with national monopsony buyers. If your country is 4% of the global market, whatever you do isn't going to change the math for the drug company very much and you can ride on the coattails of other countries, so you might as well be as stingy as possible. But then everyone has the same incentive and the net effect is tragedy of the commons.

Or in practice, the US disproportionately funding drug development for the whole world and then people from other countries criticizing them for having higher drug prices.
I'm not sure if they're available on market already, but I recall that graphene Li-ion batteries are being seen as a decent near term upgrade, with the production issues of graphene reduced because they don't need large sheets of it.
I'm like you in that I hate notifications, but I love this idea at the same time, so I think I'll set up an email filter that sends them all past the inbox, right to a dedicated folder, where I can periodically review them all together. Sounds much better than logging into each CC provider separately, finding the statement area, downloading a clunky PDF, after probably having to change a password and confirm contact info is still the same, etc etc etc.

A CLI to parse all the emails and roll them up into a nice summary would be a neat little project as well!
We know. Please don’t put more fuel on a flame war.

>> I wish, just like all nations have a budget for defense, that they all have a budget for space exploration. Colonising mars would be the ultimate growth driver. Think interplanetary trade, tourism, asteroid mining. Not to mention population growth and diversity.

Blah blah blah, this is kindergarten level perception of reality and it's really sad that a large swathe of adults cannot conceptualize beyond cheap fantasy.

Main problem with Mars is that is has no magnetic field. Without that any attempt at terraforming it is pointless and wasteful. Say one would devise some scheme to warm the planet and melt the water. Result would be the water would evaporate and the water would be lost in space. Pointless.

There is water there, like oil reserves on Earth. Once burned, it's gone forever.

So first, one must invent some way of generating planetary-scale magnetic field which would envelop the planet and shield it from the solar wind which blows any gas particles away. That doesn't require going to Mars, if it will ever happen it will happen here.

I don't see how but hey ... that's what science is for.

You’re not doing calculus on a graph- you’re using a graph algorithm to automate the derivative taking process.

Essentially, you transform your function into a “circuit” or just a graph with edge labels according to the relationship between parts of the expression. The circuit has the nice property that there is an algorithm you can run on it, with very simple rules, which gets you the derivative of the function used to create that circuit.

So taking the derivative becomes:

1. Transform function F into circuit C.
2. Run compute_gradiant(c) to get the gradient of F.

Lots of useful examples here: https://cs231n.github.io/optimization-2/
Sure, texts like "linear algebra done right" or "Understanding Analysis" do a unusually good job of integrating large multi part examples where the reader works through them and proves the theorems themselves before they are explained in the book. The nominal case for most math texts is definition, lemmas, theorems, and sometimes they provide examples, and other times, readers are expected to make their own examples. For example, basic topology really only needs 10-20 pages to completely define, but to really understand why the axioms are chosen and the implications, you must work through examples, it is the only way. In fact there is a good book on topology specifically due to this " Counterexamples in Topology"

Diagnosed, perhaps. Something like EDS is also a spectrum, you can have mild forms of it and not have them be enough of a concern to investigate, but obviously any amount of collagen disorder is going to have wide-ranging systemic effects.

There are a number of current studies looking more specifically into collagen disorders and autism and I expect them to find a broad correlation between the two.

They do use stolen cars though and when you call police to report yours as stolen, they don't give a shit. Even if you have a tracking device in it.
You do realize that people (miners) add new bitcoins into existence every 10 minutes?

Sure there's currently a limit of "21 million bitcoins" but there's only 19 million right now and miners keep minting more so it's currently inflationary. I'm sure those miners won't collude and decide that at 21 million it'd sure be nice if they kept the ability to mint more.
The issue is they set the line for what's political and that line is based in leaderships own believes about identity. It telegraphs what kind of company it is based on what it classifies as political under an abstract definition based on who runs the company at the time.
Real ICE mpg = Advertised mpg * 0.80

They should just change the testing to be 70mph in the cold for all cars. Then everyone can be pleasantly surprised when it does more in other conditions.
I expect the modern equivalent would be "-inator" as a suffix.
It may come down to how they define "politics". Given a reasonably broad definition, it would be nearly impossible to avoid some discussion of political things.

If it is used as a weapon to prevent discussing of topics that management doesn't want discussed, while promoting topics they like, it becomes simply a policy of control.

As an example, recently the topic of remote work has become of interest in political debates.
I call it Auto-steal.
I think the idea is that the scammer gets a legitimate payment from the receiver, and charges a bad payment to the sender. The sender cancels their card, and reverses the charge, so now Walmart is out the money and out the item. But the receiver card is not cancelled because they actually intended to use it, and received the goods that they ordered, so Amazon pays out to them for fulfilling the order.

The problem with maxing out the stolen card is that you can't get cash -- you can get stuff, but even then, you have to give away your address.

A defeatist argument. We would need a crystal ball, there's no point in even trying!

I propose we create models to reduce complexity, and then make adjustments to approximate reality with increasing accuracy. If this works out in our favor, let's also give it a name, like science.

The fact that no person can understand everything in detail doesn't mean some of us shouldn't try in some capacity.
It's an interesting topic i'm working on at the moment. Given the ones you shared, I figured out additional challenges. Especially for PDF and Office documents, it's really important to consider the original layout. You shouldn't split the text on a fixed word count based on the maximum length admitted by your embedding model. At preprocess.co we split documents considering sections, paragraphs, tables, images, lists, slides, and content semantics. The goal of a chunking method should be to generate text that increases the performance of a RAG not only to make it suitable for any text and file.
Yeah except it's known that they can travel through time and space, so that one makes sense.
I have a cheap VPS that I'm not using but I get the bill every month. Every time I see it I think "I should cancel that" but then I think "maybe I'll get around to doing something with it this month" and I let it go another month.
My wife and I review CC and bank activity every 2nd Sunday. It's part of our budgeting. We both stubbornly refused to take our finances seriously early in life, before we met. By the time we had met, we had both crawled our way out of CC debt and were both independently taking it Seriously. We combined our finances pretty early in our relationship, like before year 2. We used to "meet" once every month to discuss this stuff but since having kids we've pushed it to two weeks because it is, in our experience, so easy to go overboard if you're not regularly reminding yourself.
> it is impossible to feel sorrow and gratitude at the same time.

I would’ve said this too, until 12 months ago. I lost my dog suddenly. And then some weeks and months later I started to feel her presence running up alongside me when I would walk in our familiar places.

In those moments I felt elation in her presence and also utter despair in her loss all at once.

It was a strange experience but also clear as day.

This is not a fair compromise. The costs of a singular install are significant and far more expensive to do in a retrofit. It is economical to do them all at once. Access to a power outlet is necessary for society to operate, you need your car to get to work, get food and access society. Renters have the money to do it, but they won't spend until forced to.
I’m biased, as I am guessing you are too, but there is at least some innovation in infrastructure at Google outside of search and ads. Spanner, Borg/Kubernetes/GKE, PAAS, BigQuery and the successive internal query systems just to name a few. Sure many of these were funded by ads or motivated by their problems/use case originally - you’d expect that of a company that started with search and exclusively made money from ads for a long stretch - but they’ve all been developed to solve for many for workloads now, and even made available for external consumption as infrastructure products. For some they have made huge impacts on the entire software industry.

That said, yes there are a lot of SWEs and projects that are wasting engineering talent.

I’m guessing you were closer to the hardware than me, and also left at least several years ago, but I’m under the impression that the rest of industry has mostly caught up to where Google was in DC tech. They’re still at the tip of the spear with things like ML and unmatched in sheer scale, it’s just that the rest of the world has had a lot of time to play catch up.
For me, psilocybin catalyzed such pivotal decisions as moving out of my parents' house, getting married, and changing careers. It seems plausible that it would be relevant to the founder effect (https://www.genome.gov/genetics-glossary/Founder-Effect) in other animals.

Sometimes we need a little shove to start doing new things that end up being advantageous. There's no reason to believe that we're unique in that way. If that shove is advantageous enough to be worth returning for a second shove, well now you've got the seed of a cross-kingdom relationship.
This was very strange of them considering they actively participated in the 2019 Chicago municipal elections possibly breaking some campaign finance regulations subleasing space below market to a mayoral candidate (a candidate, who, incidentally, was very pro-startup)
To make this clearer, the comment I was replying to says, "If someone is arrested and charged, that record is publicly accessible to anyone for a few dollars. If the charges go nowhere, the record of the arrest and charge remains on the public record forever." But neither statement is true upon a search.

Separately, Barker's quote in the article asserts that in Canada, there is a single criminal record check available for a person, and that "is not a record of conviction, it’s a record of charges." The reality is that there are several types of background checks, and the base level lists a record of convictions while omitting charges—though in any case, Barker is clearly an innocent person who should have the incident dropped from a check at any level.
