It's a cute idea but it can't work as is. It tries to do 2 things, and each is very difficult on its own. It tries to extract steel from aluminum waste, so the amount of waste is reduced, and it wants that steel to be green, so CO2 emissions are reduced. Neither one is close to being economically viable. And it's not just the energy input, it very likely is the capital cost as well.

Iron is produced in 2 ways: from scrap iron (i.e. recycling) or from iron ore. If produced from iron ore, the ore needs to contain about 50-60% iron to be economically viable. It goes without saying that in this context we are talking about regular smelting, using coal. That generally happens away from the mines, which is a sign that the capital cost is high; if it weren't they'd build the furnaces right next to the mines to reduce transportation cost.

Let's forget about hydrogen or green steel. Can you just start using the "red mud" as iron ore? Very unlikely. You'd need to either move the furnace next to the aluminum mine, or bring the red mud to the furnace. The first is not an option. The steel industry is so cutthroat with margins so low, that you need scale. Huge scale. Aluminum is produced in tiny quantities compared to iron, there's no way you'd have enough scale to justify a steel furnace next to an aluminum mining operation. Bringing the red mud to the furnace is not really an option either: you would need to at a minimum dry it out somehow to make it solid, otherwise the transportation costs balloon. But this red mud is supposedly quite toxic, it does not appear to be so straightforward to dry it out, and that would add to the processing cost too.

And then the hydrogen thing. Let's first focus on transitioning the regular steel making to hydrogen. This in itself appears to be an extraordinarily hard nut to crack. If we manage it, it's a huge win. We can then expand to aluminum waste cleanup if we want, after we pop some champagne. But let's stay focused on regular green steel first.
Obviously there is no you. Just the experience. I thought that was pretty obvious.
Einstein: There are few enough people with sufficient independence to see the weaknesses and follies of their contemporaries and remain themselves untouched by them. And these isolated few usually soon lose their zeal for putting things to rights when they have come face to face with human obduracy. Only to a tiny minority is it given to fascinate their generation by subtle humour and grace and to hold the mirror up to it by the impersonal agency of art. To-day I salute with sincere emotion the supreme master of this method, who has delighted–and educated–us all.

The news is rather ambiguous. On the one hand, it's great that AI is getting better and better, but on the other hand, how to limit its use to prevent AI from being used for cheating. Yes, I understand that not everyone uses it to do all the work, but I think it's time to prescribe restrictions on the use of AI in such competitions.
Anyone can set any name and email on any commit.

Signing is a basic way to have some defence against people forging your name and email for commits.

That's it.

Whatever "signing" means in other contexts is just semantic wordgames. Witches have come out of the inquisition less tortured than all these analogies about "signing" in different contexts. Everyone understands that "signing" in "signing a commit" means something different than in "signing a contract".
A lot of software or features have been discarded in the name of "progress".

You can use modern software bit it's not a given that you'll be able to do everything that you could in the past, or that it will be as easy and straightforward if you can still do it.

Perhaps it's surprised to hear that there are things these old apps and operating system can do that no modern software can do as well? Drawing in dither patterns is one (useful today for platforms such as Playdate), but there are many more.
Share the URLs via Signal, then you have a validated identity, and the secret won't pop up in your notifications or be retained in your chat history.
Because primiparas describes the women that give first births and not the first births themselves. The abstract uses regular English and introduces the term. Otherwise they would have to write "women with first births" all the time.

It feels like they just tried to be concise and not just throwing them in there to sound smarter.
If housing is unaffordable, who is renting and buying all the houses?
Great idea! Wouldn't this work better as a web app tho? So there's less friction, no install required, you could either require a signup or have a shareable URL.
Right, people seem to forget that table-based designs ruled the roost in the 90s and early 00s.

All of the vertical align, layering, etc hacks came from people not wanting to use tables anymore and divs (and other block elements) finally becoming more usable. Those hacks were the growing pains of an entire shift in paradigm.

No, it's much more than that. It's form, function, utility, and possibilities not present in modern software. Newer isn't always better.

Those IKEA purifiers are garbage in my opinion. I sent all of them back. The flat one shook all the time and was loud, as if the fan had been badly balanced or not balanced at all. I was also not convinced by the built quality compared to my Xiaomi Air purifiers.
No need to rely on your terminal to provide performance. LunarVim is very slow even though I use Alacritty, it was the main reason I stopped using it and switched to LazyVim.
I got the same feeling. I think it’s generally bad practice to ask a user for their admin password without a good rationale as to why you’re asking, particularly if it’s non-obvious. It’s the ‘trust me bro’ approach to security that that even if this is a trustworthy app it encourages the behaviour of just going ahead and entering your password and not asking too many questions.

The install on Linux is the same. You’re essentially encouraged to just

curl https://ollama.ai/install.sh | sh

which is generally a terrible idea. Of course you can read the script but that misses the point in that that’s clearly not the intended behaviour.

As other commenters have said, it is convenient. Sure.

I'm not a professional in this field at all, but from my point of view, you don't need super advanced equipment to get very good photos (of course, there are some minimum requirements). The quality often depends on skills, a cool camera will not help a beginner.
Russia has nothing to do with Nagorno-Karabakh (indeed, in many ways this ethnic conflict has caused the demise of the USSR, not the other way around). Nagorno-Karabakh is not in Central Asia. There are no frozen conflicts in Central Asia, though there are some feuds.
Yes, but the Sloot method was supposed to be loss-less. When we talk lossy, it gets trickier because then the definition of the expectation with % of loss and error % should be defined. I am sure we'll have AI's that can produce Terminator-ish in a bit; the thing is, it will be similar to you reminding the movie; it will be similar for the bigger plot, but a lot of details will be completely off/wrong. That's not the type of compression/encoding mr Sloot was talking about.

Edit: encryption was supposed to be encoding/compression.
My wife had the same reaction to the Pfizer vaccine. This was... Over two years ago, she still hasn't recovered.

Has had to restrict her diet down to ~5-10 very specific ingredients otherwise she gets extremely bad mast-cell flare-ups.
It can be like that, it's not a requirement, but once you know what's going on it's actually quite convenient to have the chaining. Not if you're trying to stuff it all in a small fitting that wasn't designed for it, but otherwise.

I suspect Finnish spotlights are similar - they run in a chain not all individually to the switch? So only the last one has just the feed and nowhere to go?

Difference is in the UK we have 'ring' circuits, where the 'end' as it were goes back to the consumer unit (power cabinet). It's mostly a post-war hangover: if the load is assumed fairly even then it means you can use half the wire diameter vs. not having the return, which was thought with typical and logical layout would mean less cable overall, since the 'end' would already be back around the other side close to the CU again. It has some safety advantage too, but AIUI it's slowly fading out of vogue for new installations and it will likely end eventually. (Some critique it that with modern patchy load distribution it actually now ironically requires more copper than the equivalent radial circuit, and probably not post-war level but copper's expensive again.)
We’d generate a 18x1 GIF with a gradient color change (or from a solid color to a transparent color) and stretched that out over however pixels we wanted to create a gradient-like effect. e.g

ChatGPT is super handy for us, students, but I can recall studying without it pretty clearly. Sometimes, I struggled with complex projects and ended up asking my teachers for help. But what really bugs me is when students don't even bother to check what they've generated. Back in my day, I had to go over tons of information by myself, but it helped me to remember stuff. If you just let an AI generate your work and don't even take a second look at it, what kind of learning is that, right?
I don't know enough about how e-paper is better than e-ink, bit it would need to support 60fps for smooth cursor movement and animation. I don't see the benefit myself, because even though System 7 looks best in black and white the apps you run can and do still display in colour.

Newton can be emulated on your iPhone or iPad using an app called Einstein, but you'll need a stylus as the interface elements are tiny and require a great deal of precision.
The prevailing opinion amongst soccer fans now is that we should go back to a single human referee on the pitch, not double down on technology.

We tried it, it was shit, we lost the most important part of the game for fans (celebrating goals, of which soccer has few), let's go back.
Why would inequality be the issue?

If 1% of the population suddenly got personal space-ships (hugely increasing inequality) would that make people steal from trains more?
Yes that was my point, and it's where the price I quoted comes from.
On the server side, I remember it being challenging trying to figure out how to run CGI's ... usually in Perl ... on a given site. Some sites had Perl 4, some had Perl 5. Your code might have needed either the .pl or .cgi file extension. Sometimes the CGI script just needed to be in the /cgi-bin/ directory with execute permissions set and the appropriate hashbang in the top comment.

While there were more elaborate Perl CGI libraries, I preferred to use cgi-lib.pl.
Read the article. They describe people as "severely cost burdened", meaning they pay the rent, but have very little left over for the rest of their bills. They also highlighted people that are beginning to share rent costs with others.
The driver is always responsible until full self-driving systems are on the market. A system like this is helping you comply with the law, but it doesn't change the fact that following the law was always your responsibility.
Missing from a lot of these conversations is a shared definition of what “affordable” means. I’m inclined to think that it is more difficult to afford housing than it was for my parents but couldn’t honestly say it is “unaffordable” because I don’t know what that means and it means different things to different people.
I think it would make a bad introduction to buddhist philosophy in any way, it's meant as a more "advanced" text imo. Starting with a plain english intro (like Alan Watts, The Way of Zen) or simpler texts (the Dhammapada) should be easier.
> Until society holds itself to a higher standard, we will get the intellectuals we deserve.

Until society matures. We have a critical issue with adult immaturity. That's why quality intellectuals are scant and missing: they don't sling mud, and our immature public society is all about slinging shit disguised as mud.

As boring as it sounds, we need an intellectual promoting basic maturity, pointing out the critical foundation it forms in which all worthwhile human activity can be built. As well as the deterioration of everything worthwhile when maturity is lacking.
Go ahead. Though I don't think attribution is even necessary for something I myself may have borrowed from somewhere.

This was a good post without the last paragraph.
> It finds that in 2022, as rents spiked during the COVID-19 pandemic, a record half of U.S. renters paid more than 30% of their income for rent and utilities. Nearly half of those people were severely cost-burdened, paying more than 50% of their income.

Unaffordable here is based on a specific definition. They consider it unaffordable for more than 30% of your income to go towards housing, it doesn't mean that you can't afford rent at all.
It’s a calculator.

The experience of seeing something is completely different from the physical state of the neurons that see though. You have to be "in" the physical state in order to have the actual experience. Any physical description of the neurons does nothing to capture the actual experience of being those neurons, and that's the gap.
The article does offer a definition, though. The renters are "severely cost burdened," with insufficient room in their budget to cover rent and the rest of their bills, despite highly undesirable living conditions.
I think you mean “best shoe”
This seems to basically already exist. The safety wire twister pliers probably won't have enough leverage for solid core household wiring especially compared to a cordless drill.

Using vi to update the .html directly on the production server (and this wasn't a personal website)... simpler times :)
It's interesting that the #2 selling point on the landing page (the Copilot integration) relies purely on Microsoft's goodwill. There is no official API for Copilot but instead a (non-standard) LSP implementation embedded into the proprietary Copilot Neovim plugin. Zed seems to trust under the hood that a release of the plug-in exists on Github, pulls the minified-js language server from there and integrates with that. The minute MS decides to pull the plug on the Neovim plugin Zed loses the functionality as well.

I wish we had a proper API to interact with copilot but it seem that pulling everyone else except the dedicated VIM and JetBrains users into VSCode land seems to be more in their interest.
The “need arises” part are the thousands of people killed and orders of magnitude more with serious injuries who will never have the same quality of life as they had before the collision. In the case of cars an absolute cap at, say, 85mph would cover the maximum speed legal speed for the entire United States and still be at least 40mph lower than the top speed of almost all vehicles sold here.
VAR is not an AI system, it's just the referee watching the video replay. It could have been done 50+ years ago.
When I think of 90s websites I think of a design trend where everything used tables, borders, and a crap load of gifs. A common design for sites is this basic pattern:

[nav bar ...]

[link1 ] content ...

[link...] content ...

All sites looked like a variation of this. Normally people were OCD so everything was carefully contained in its own box. This was kind of the opposite to today's 'flat design.' Where today everything blends seamlessly and the edges are implied by contrasts older sites didn't try hide their boundaries.

There wasn't really many front-end libraries. Front-end was mostly just templates and PHP. Large-scale web software was all just PHP + templates + HTML with minimal javascript. PHP was quite instrumental for the early for the early web. It's still huge honestly.

By the way: lets not forget that Git only came out in 2005 and that had a significant effect on how software was managed. The version control before them was painful and web devs weren't always the kind of engineers to use them.
For me, the life changer was SSI. You mean I can just include files and not copy menus all over the place?

I also remember being enamored by image maps. Mapping out the polygons without software was beyond the confidence I had as an 11 year old.

And a self-hosted CGI-backed counter--the holy grail.
I’ve used the drills clamp to hold the end of stripped wires then twist.
Some plugins can make it crawl, yes.

'Wansmer/symbol-usage.nvim' is one of them. I found that I didn't really need it as much so disabled it and LunarVim became much snappier.
Usually it is in relation to local median income.
So let me get this straight. Local municipalities pay cops and lots of other staff to protect Amazon's cargo, but Amazon barely pays any taxes.

If Amazon is going to exist off the largess of society's hard working public workforce they should pay their fare share in taxes.

>who is renting

The renters. What else are you gonna do, be homeless?

>and buying all the houses

The money bags bigger than yours. You're not competing just with other people for housing but with investors, and if they have more money than you, then they win.
I saw a post shared on some platform recently that some screens in Amazon still use this technique.

I remember slicing and dicing up the rounded corners in photoshop.
I totally believe it. My rent has stayed more or less the same throughout the pandemic, but food costs basically doubled, even tho I only buy groceries and eat at home. If I wasn’t in software I’d be severely limited in my options.
Nope. The DMA can be enforced by the Commission alone.
> make it legal for LE to pull over and cite cars for front window tint dark enough that pedestrians/bikers cannot see the drivers eyes

Isn't that already the case, but unenforced? I knew multiple guys in high school who were pulled over for failing to maintain their vehicle in safe working order for that exact reason.
Makes sense, we're all just the proverbial neurons of the brain that is our entire society/planet. Yeah, this is really big brain time.

Then a collection of societies would be another level of meta-intelligence above that, it's all fractal.
Maybe its worth looking into land value tax again.
> By strictly looking at successful first births it's ignoring the flip side which is how many births were aborted for medically necessary reasons and/or how many miscarriages took place.

I think you should give it another read.

> Moreover, unlike most previous studies, we (a) assess a large set of maternal, fetal, and infant outcomes and complications of labor and delivery, including CPD; (b) consider only medically necessary C-sections; (c) use age groups structured to reflect the average ages of first births in forager populations, comparing the age of 16–20 years with older and younger mothers; (d) include fetal deaths as well as infant deaths;…
So what happens if they all and at the same time, simply stop paying rent? Would I hear US banking collapsing in Europe?
Just the headline, trying to get a quick snarky comment in early I assume
If I stand up too quickly or hold my breath, it's consciousness that I start to lose, not my consciousness's control of my body. It seems to me that implies consciousness comes from the brain.
For the location map, instead of having one image of the map per creature, it would be better if you had a single image and then overlayed the locations with css. That way you could also use the same data to show all creatures from a single location.
>like the cancer that’s killing me, the efforts to treat it, and the numerous ancillary problems those treatments have caused.

Oh the joys of being personally responsible for your own health. Afterall your family doctor is only able to help in a general way and if you're quite wealthy you might be able to see a specialist.

You have the opportunity to go read every single scientific journal on the subject since 2005(never read anything older then 2005), while they are busy working with other patient's runny noses.

Cancer is an interesting one. You can limit your search to the last 4 years; legit, don't need to read any studies older. All the relevant studies like from major cancer researchers in China, Ecuador, and Mexico are from the last 4 years.

Will you find it?

Yes, and it's not just in schools.

Drawing from SDT (self-determination theory), one of the main predictors for motivation is a psychological need called 'competence' (perception of whether your actions lead to the feeling of growth or accomplishment). Different actions and situations can send either a positive competence signal to a person (and increase motivation) or a negative one (and decrease motivation). These things are measurable.

The main issue with competitions is that they send positive competence signal to one person (winner) and negative to everyone else. Like you trained for months, and now you've lost. This leads to increased dropout rates in sports, which are especially pronounced in kids. Norwegians asked the question – instead of spending money and effort to try to engage people and kids in sports, maybe we should ask a question, 'Why do they drop out in the first place' and prevent those? Competitions came as one of the strongest predictors of dropping out of sports, hence the policy.
