The plurality of employees are not the innovators that made the breakthrough possible in the first place.

People are not interchangeable.

Most employees may have bills to pay, and will follow the money. The ones that matter most would have different motivation.

Of course, of your sole goal is to create a husk that milks the achievement of the original team as long as it lasts and nothing else — sure, you can do that.

But the "organizational desires" are still desires of people in the organization. And if those people are the ducks that lay the golden eggs, it might not be the smartest move to ignore them to prioritize the desires of the market for those eggs.

The market is all too happy to kill the ducks if it means more, cheaper eggs today.

Which is, as the adage goes, why we can't have the good things.

Could a moderator change the title back to at least include the phrase JEP Draft?

That is important because it communicates that this feature is actually not yet in Preview, but is on its way to being that.

Being in the JEP Draft state sets expectations about what part of this proposal is up for debate and criticism, and what parts are merely placeholder until the "heavier topics" have been hammered out.

Because you changed the title to this, it is actually not communicating the true intent, and thus, might invite discussion (read - criticisms) that this JEP Draft was never meant to contest.

Hell, a lot of that wasn't even for cities. Significant and massive lakes, including Lake Tulare, were siphoned away simply to create farmland.

Making up information? The same can be said for most commonly used modern compressed video formats. Just low bitrate streams of data that gets interpolated and predicted into producing what looks like high resolution video. AV1 even has entire systems for synthesizing film grain.

The way i see it, if the ai generated HDR looks good, why not? It wouldn't be more fake or made up than the rest of the video.
I think this is failing at accountability and achieving something more like empty criticism. If it was only a balanced commentary on the pros & cons of public funding for these things, I'd be more inclined to like it.

TBH, there's a lot to be said for cutting back public funding. Wal-Mart is massively increasing investment in their own charging network (not EA any more!). They are being joined by Circle-K, BP, Pilot/EVGo, and many others that are making investments in a lot more than just government funded NEVI sites. I don't really think we even need NEVI at this point and we especially don't need state funding.

But I've seen too many articles from him to see this as nuance and policy shaping. Its just a sugar rush for people who agree with his anti-Tesla and virtually anti-EV style of writing. There's little real informing here.

In a way - it mostly provides for dairy, which is an incredibly lossy operation.

The "alfalfa in the desert" stuff you hear about isn't for salads. It's feed for cattle.

A gallon of milk requires [edit](4-5 gallons excluding consumption for growing feed, ~800 gallons, contested, fully realized)[1, 2] and a pound of beef requires somewhere in the neighborhood of 2000 gallons. [3]

Beef is where the water goes, not Nestle water bottles, which are silly too. You drink about 185 gallons of water per year, meaning 1 pound of beef consumes 10 years worth of your personal drinking budget. Assuming you drank every single drop out of a Nestle water bottle, it really does round to zero compared to agriculture.

All NBA players are insanely good. And the best NBA players are so good it's hard to comprehend. There's another video of a retired MJ coming out and destroying a new Bulls player who was talking trash. MJ never even took off his sweats.

Or look at shooting...uncovered NBA players almost never miss. Look up Gilbert Arenas shooting half court shots for practice - almost never misses. Or Steph Curry from anywhere on the court.

Source redaction has been possible and mostly automated for a long time. Getting information to the front line or "tactical edge" as they call it these days is more about file size, as collections and the initial processed products carry quite a bit of metadata and resolution that isn't needed, in formats not commonly read by tablets and regular software.

As it stands, I recall seeing at least a few images of objects in space in the news attributed to sources I know for an absolute fact were not the real sources and no one I'm aware of ever questioned it. So at least some of this stuff is already getting disseminated to the public. It's pretty rare for the content of an image to be classified. More often, it's specifics of the collection capability, i.e. collection angles, occlusion, weather conditions, or in many cases the fact that something can be collected from space at all, but if you tell the viewer it came from a ground telescope, or a collection of the ground was from aircraft rather than satellite, they'll believe it. They have no way of telling otherwise without collection metadata.

Hopefully, this effort can further enhance the way files get portion-marked to make it easier to release content when metadata has been redacted, though. My still favorite anecdote is analying test data in which the file was literally just plain ASCII text of the preamble to the US Constitution but it was marked TS/TK/NF because the collection capability was sensitive enough that every file it generated automatically got marked as such even though it had no metadata at all. It was just text. The metadata was in a completely separate file.

I would buy a new CRT terminal in a heartbeat. It's a shame that there isn't really a market for them, and that this whole segment of technology is gradually being lost to time.

I ended up trashing a few older CRTs that had pretty severe burn-in and bad contrast. As far as I can tell there was no alternative, no way to repair them or obtain new components.
> When they say "you may be more prone to infection" take it very, very seriously.

I suppose it depends on the disease. I have read rather conflicting research about whether certain DMARDs/Biologics actually increase cancer rates, infections, etc..

I'm about the furthest thing from a expert one can be in regards to this topic, but I will say that I have always purposely tried to stay away from those medications "just in case." I am also in a fortunate enough situation that I am not required to go on such medications despite having the option in order to live a mostly normal life.

I'm not some "big pharma bad" person, but something about those medications have never sat well with me. I suppose for many, the risk of the cure outweighs the risk of the disease. But in regards to something as integral as the human immune system, I real do not want to "fuck around & find out" as people say these days. Until there is a legitimate cure or safer medicines, I suppose I am (dis)content with the level of disease activity I currently have.

For household-scale I only have a proposition regarding storing/generating heat, namely compost.

A compost pile produces a surprisingly large amount of heat. If you run a hose through it you can have sufficiently hot water all winter.

You could maybe use it to produce biogas and burn it in a turbine, but that's anything but household-scale.

As for electricity you won't find anything better than batteries at the moment.

There are 100,000 high schools in the US.

The NBA drafts 60 new players per year.

Chance of being drafted in any year is 60/100000 = 0.06%. IOW once every 1666 years the best player in your high school team may be drafted.

If you're, say, top-10 in your state, then your chance is way better. Once every ~10 years a kid in top-10 might expect to be drafted (60/500).

What am I missing ?!

These days you can skip a tier and start getting (officially) paid in college! However the previous rules were even better, allowing NBA teams to draft directly out of high school (LeBron, Kobe)

I'm trying to figure out what how set_read_timeout on a UdpSocket works, so I'm here: https://doc.rust-lang.org/src/std/net/udp.rs.html#308-310 and click get source (which is nice to have! and is usually helpful) which takes me here https://doc.rust-lang.org/src/std/net/udp.rs.html#308-310

In this case, this is profoundly unhelpful. There's no way to get from this page to wherever it is I need to be; there's no way to navigate to any other file from here.

You might want to read "His Master's Voice" or "Roadside Picnic" by Stanislaw Lem.

Interesting idea. To check my understanding, I think what your saying is the following?:

The scanner has a "(/" token which triggers dropping into a different scanner/parser for RegExes. This secondary scanner/parser drops out upon seeing a "/)". Alternatively, the "(/" and "/)" could be replaced by a trivial one-token lookahead (which would allow "( /" to match, for example); the key here is to differentiate "(/" from "(" or "/" so that "(/" immediately tells you that you're in a RegEx. This obviates the need to differentiate arbitrary RegExes from other things which might occur after a division symbol "/" like in JavaScript.

If that's what you're saying, seems brilliantly simple! I don't love the user experience of that, but maybe that's just an aesthetic opinion. Knowing how difficult it is to implement JavaScript-style RegEx literals, this seems like a good idea, at least at first.

Is it medically possible to make a combination sublingual drop for a variety of common allergies without side-effects? $250 for a test and then whatever payments to have a doctor prescribe it is out of reach for many. A single over-the-counter for the more common allergies, or even regional over-the-counters for regional allergens, would be reach a lot more people.

For the serious allergic reactions I can see why a personalized plan would be required. But for the more mild reactions this seems hypothetically possible.

Aside: If wondered for a bit whether something like honey blends of many regional honeys for young children older than 6 months would eliminate most of the seasonal pollen allergies that people develop from moving to other parts of the country/world.

Edit to add: I believe you're wrong about the "technically" part. Allergies aren't attacking the body (therefore not "auto"), merely causing symptoms through the general immune response against the allergen. This is particularly aggravating to an individual because the immune response is long lasting, as it's impossible for the immune system to eliminate the foreign antigen when said antigen is prevalent in the environment.

The documentation refers to files and directories. Does the software let you take a consistent, point-in-time snapshot of a whole drive (or even multiple volumes), e.g. using something like VSS? Or if you want that have you got to use other software (like Macrium Reflect) to produce a file?
