Depends on what long term means. But batteries are used for power grid storage. Tesla is selling huge numbers of tesla megapacks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Megapack) often used to replace peaker plants.

Peaker plants are power plants sitting there ready to turn on during peak power usage. I think they used to be often coal, which took a while to start up and produced lots of pollution, but then more recently natural gas plants start up faster and have much lower emissions. So during an evening power usage peak, or during really cold or hot times when power demand is high, the grid can tap that power source. Now you can replace those plants with a bunch of batteries that are ready in milliseconds to provide additional power, and then you can charge them if they get used up at night when electric usage is low.
Solid-State EV Batteries Now Face "Production Hell"
Because propaganda works everywhere. Teach people that “the other” seeks their destruction and then reframe any violence as tragically necessary self-defense.

The history books don’t mention the Nakba and civilian casualty statistics in Gaza are dismissed as Hamas propaganda.

And I don’t mean to suggest Israel is unique in this. There are many parallels for instance with American “world police” patriotism.
You click on one of the languages on a random post, then change the language in the URL to the one you like.
Can you back that up with an example, perhaps the Android Play Store? Is there significantly more malware on recent (last ~5 years) versions of Android than similarly recent versions of iOS?
That's a hell of an assumption from my car wouldn't start. Or my wife's car wouldn't start so I let her take mine. Or any number of reasons before jumping to that conclusion. Why even jump to a conclusion, and just let the person tell them why, to even WTF does it matter?
Are people using it for reliability though? Are they running redis in a mode where it persists a journal? If not, then if redis crashes for any reason, you're in the same situation.

And, like, Mastodon apparently uses a queue to do things like send new user registration emails. Why not just send the email from the new user request handler? Then if there's an error, you can tell the user in the response instead of saying "okay you should get an email" and then having it go into the ether. I was under the impression this had something to do with not wanting to tie up the HTTP worker because you want it to quickly get back to doing HTTP requests, but if it can concurrently process requests, there's no issue.

Similarly they have an ingest queue for other federated servers sending them updates. But if things are fast, why wouldn't they just process the updates in the HTTP handler? You don't need a reliable queue because if e.g. you crash, the other side will not get their HTTP response, and they'll know to retry.
Why do you have the expectation to install whatever you want on a smart TV? Just because there is a computer chip inside it?

I find it somewhat absurd that if you put a computer chip inside of a gadget you are now suddenly expected to support/enable installing literally anything.

If the consumer cares so much about that, they can buy something else.
I wish people would stop defending apple here.

The reason for apple doing something is not that it wants its users to be safe or to protect them. It just wants to make more money by preventing other companies from doing stuff on its phones. This is it. If it would be possible then it would ask for 50 or 79% of sales on the app store, if it could it would take a % of every transaction done in Safari

No essentially it is as simple as how any abuser bully behaves. They will continue their behavior as long as they are allowed to. Look at US for enabling them.
You shouldn't be allowed to browse the internet. Everyone can buy a domain and publish any code, without it being reviewed.
Depends on the role and company. A big company can probably tolerate a couple non-team-player developers who just execute on tasks they're given in isolation, but most of the time software engineering is a team activity and being unresponsive to teammates is going to block them from getting their work done.

I'd rather have one developer take a hit to their productivity to answer a coworkers questions and keep the whole team moving forward than have the team blocked so that one employee can complete their ticket in a single uninterrupted block.
This is about WASI and WASI is outside the web browser.
3000 matches should be more than enough for an Elo-style ranking system to converge. But the notebook[0] linked to from the site includes a section with an equal number of matches being sampled for each pairwise comparison, and the results are pretty much the same.

Where GPT really improved for me subjectively is long context - at least since launch. Such ranking can't compare it.

Also I felt I keep getting more personalized results, i.e. models are somehow biased towards user. I heard they plan it, I don't know it's launched, but I feel it.

And there's also fine-tuning in the other direction - my brain got used to ways of interacting with GPT. Same as with Google, I just somehow subconsciously know how to write prompts that get me what I want.
> This is to say: the language let's you express things in the exact fidelity that you think them. That's why it's so appealing.

Different people think differently. Having to decipher someone else's thoughts is less appealing that expressing your own.

Some people are great thinkers, and their thoughts-made-code are elegant. But there is no guarantee that your colleague who started a project that you join three months later is one of them.

China also built more coal fired power plants in the past year than the rest of the world combined has built in the last decade, and has more operational coal power plants than the rest of the world combined.

China's so called "Commitments" to green energy are just (coal) smoke and mirrors.
The reason the original Macintosh mouse had only one button: so users would not need to remember which one to click. That was a Jobs mandate.
What is this article even trying to say? Clickbait title but the whole thing is about using a mouse? Yeah, interfaces are evolving. Most of the populace use a computer not for using's sake, but to accomplish a goal. Touchscreens are great for information consumption and free-form entry. Keyboards are good for text production. What is a mouse good for other than manipulating 2d objects?
Modern-day Zionism to me and many others means that Israel has the right to exist.

It does not absolve many, including self-proclaimed Zionists, from criticizing some of Israel policies.

On other hand, my interpretation of people who are self-proclaimed anti-Zionists logically flows from above statement that they believe that the present state of Israel DOES NOT have a right to exist. Which implies deportation of extermination of 6 million Jewish Israelis

In my opinion, the word Zionism has been hijacked by activists who know that being anti-Jewish is not good optics, but anti-Zionizm is still something that can be sold to the masses.
Here's Gideon Levy explaining it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZQf-YSgPto

I changed it to "indoctrination". Which is a more polite word that doesn't really do it justice, but it's not really important because the result, the inability to even meaningfully interact with the charges, is a constant.

As George Orwell put it, from the totalitarian perspective history is something to be created, rather than learned. Or as Robert Antelme described a concentration camp guard: "trapped in the machinery of his own myth". I just cannot find a flattering way to describe these things, there just is no material to work with for that.
>> not politics and certainly not geopolitics.

Ages ago I had a job working in online advertising. My comment a the time was this "Advertising is worse than porn, but working here I can go home to my feminist girlfriend and not get shit for it."

Technology and politics have always had an intersection but unless it was part of your job, it was somewhat avoidable.

This is no longer the case. The simple word "alignment" means that these sorts of classical political issues have direct impact on tech, platforms and what they do. We, as a group, who has a unique view of what freedom means (speech, software and that intersectioN) should be acutely aware of the chilling effect we're living under on this topic. Even here where the discourse remains (mostly) civil there are those who will attempt to just shut it down.

I would be keenly interested to see how heavily this gets flagged and how that compares to other topics. I doubt dag would tell us but I could hope!
No, if they wanted a ceasefire they would have asked for a ceasefire.
No it doesn't. The MIT license is objectively less restrictive than the LGPL. Whether it's a good or bad thing to be less restrictive is a matter of opinion, but whether or not it is less restrictive is a matter of fact.
Is there a reason for me to pick up Fleet if I already use JetBrains other IDEs?
How much is that for meat and feed?
Honestly I'm not trying to mis-read the verdict which is why I asked the question. I think all of Israel's strategies to date include the death of Palestinians. Since that's explicitly forbidden with that ruling, how will they continue to fight? Will they just ignore the ruling or change tactics?
There's also various schemes to use gravity. Pump water uphill above a dam when power demand is low like at night, also I have read speculation of trying to do this in some underground mine or something so it doesn't evaporate.
Having naive trust in political entities is frankly bellying a level of willful ignorance that humanity should have evolved from by now. Good luck on your journey.

I’m not even sure what accusation you deny. Quote the accusation I made you have a problem with.
Odd title for a piece that is mostly an elegy for the mouse.
Thanks, that makes a lot more sense then storage capacity. What's the rationale for calling actual energy storage capacity duration?
Not at all. It simply instructed Israel to try and hit fewer people. Which is what we all expect from every army.
I like the idea of a course centered around a guided project. For example, learning Swift by developing a simple iOS app.

Maybe I'm missing something, but why does the platform need to be a desktop app?

Trigger locks and pistol lockboxes are really just to prevent someone from playing with your guns. A trigger lock obviously isn't going to prevent theft and pistol lockboxes can just be carried away. Although I have seen videos of a toddler dropping a pistol lock box and it pops right open. Maybe at least mount them? A real gun safe is used to actually prevent theft when properly secured to the floor. Although the bypass keys on many safes are not terribly secure. They can be picked or impressioned with the right tools. Although the chance that the burglar actually having the right tools on them might not be very high. A few months ago, I saw a neighbor receiving their new long gun safe. I saw the model name and looked it up to see that it uses a lever lock for the bypass. You can buy very simple impression tools for this kind of lock that will open it up in about 30-60 seconds. Given that it takes at least a few minutes for police to respond to an alarm, two guys can easily search a house, find the safe, pick the bypass lock, throw all the guns in a duffel and be gone before police show up. If I had the same safe, I'd put a small piece of tape over the keyway and JB weld a piece of tool steel over it. If I lose my key, I can certainly wait a bit to drill out a new keyway, not so much for a burglar. Although it would probably be rare for a potential burglar to see a gun safe getting delivered, it would offer so much information on what valuables are inside a house and how to steal it.

A lock is only as weak as an adversary is determined.
For what it's worth, videos seem to come from Vimeo. For example: https://player.vimeo.com/video/905196531

Heat pump heat, in the wilderness or otherwise, is about 4x as efficient as resistance or fire.

This is somewhat silly, since a gas-fired heat pump can be very efficient, but gas-fired heat pumps are quite rare.

(California has a pricing/policy problem here, IMO. Electricity is absurdly expensive, gas is somewhat reasonable, and the result is that electric heating is not nearly as economical as it should be.)

The Mayan and Aztec conquests were completely different. The Mayan polities were situated in terrain that was much harsher for an invader, military capability doesn't mean much when a military force can't be effectively maintained in the field against. There also wasn't much incentive for the spanish to extend their domains into the mayan polities at that time. The spanish were far more focused on populous areas where they could extract wealth which was the only way for spanish conquistadors to gather volunteers. Even under these conditions the actual military engagements were very one-sided with most of the Yucatan conquered within thirty years of the Aztec conquest.
The diseases that you mention are of African origin and, when introduced into the New World, massacred the natives almost as efficiently as smallpox.

Africa is a huge cauldron of human pathogens, which is not that surprising, given that hominids developed there. As a rather tragic consequence, Africans were sought after as slaves, because they were resistent to many of the diseases that killed white or Amerindian indentured workers.
Both are small enough for this to not matter.

Unpoly also has many more features you’d have to add code for.
Okay, let's try this another way. 8 US Code § 1153, "Allocation of immigrant visas," has the section for EB (employment-based) immigrants. (b) (1) begins: "Visas shall first be made available...to qualified immigrants who are aliens described in any of the following subparagraphs (A) through (C): (A) Aliens with extraordinary ability, (B) Outstanding professors and researchers, (C) Certain multinational executives and managers".

Is this section of the U.S. code talking about EB-1s when it says "Visas shall be made available," and, if not, what is it talking about?
http is just a very simple request response protocol.

maybe you're right though
The relevant features were put directly into Google Maps rather than being a separate download.
To answer your question though. It’s neither. The court found that allegations of genocide are plausible.

That is, especially some of the statements by senior officials could be understood as genocidal.

What I gleaned from reading blogs: It is likely that the actus reus for genocide is there but intent will be very hard to prove if it exists
I get that the US system was supposed to do all that in theory, but in practice it has been structured to prevent citizens from having any control over anything. It's a form of tyranny masquerading as democracy. Without major reform, we are stuck with whatever politicians these 2 parties put before us and our only choice is the lesser of 2 evils. These parties have similar interests to continue the current, flawed, system and so we are powerless to enact any change.

"Business in the U.S. is almost not susceptible to political shit. "

That's because capitalists control politics. Their profits are more important than social wellbeing.

This is not surprising. When an investigation gets underway, the company being investigated will notify employees that any assets relating to the subject of the investigation should be retained. Typically, this covers all physical and digital documents and communications.

I usually refrain from making much political commentary.

I will say this: SA is a deeply troubled country, but for once I think the ruling government has actually done a good thing by pursuing this.
I imagine largely because it can happen much quicker than grid scale projects, as it's a lot easier for thousands of individuals to make modest personal investments, than it is for governments to make huge capital investments. Plus the reduced dependency on the grid would reduce peak loads and improve grid stability for all users.

It allows people who know clojure use it for scripting without the load time of JVM. Most similar implementations of other languages is to overcome some limitation of the original implementation.

It's sad there's such a dilution of responsibility such problems are allowed to persist, and that nobody cares they are killing random people phones.
My personal opinion from reading lots of comments:

A lot of the people here make it seem like they are the type of engineers who make $300k-$3m/yr total comp with stocks and probably don't have to worry about money a lot. They are either super high level engineers, managers, founders who have done well. They probably "fire and forget" into some boring index funds and call it a day. I don't think the "wise" hacker is really attracted to known risk/gambling. A lot of hackers just want to ticker and probably get turned off talking about money. It's probably frowned upon, as if you brought it at a dinner table basically?

The problem with October 7th massacre was Israeli government with Netanyahu at the top ignored their own rules of "Better safe than sorry" and that led to a monster growing at their borders (both Hamas and Hizbollah). Well, now it's "better be late than never".

I find this topic relative to both tech and business because so many venture capitalists have taken a very vocal and militantly pro-Israel position. People have been fired from our industry for speaking out for Palestinians and the guy who first created this site has taken immense heat for his pro-Palestine statements. I don't know that any other geo-political situations have quite had the impact to tech that this has, mostly driven by the VCs.
This doesn't seem much different than what companies must do with E-mail when they are under investigation or getting sued. Surely these chat applications have a configuration to allow for messages to not be deleted when under "litigation hold". No company that I know of has a policy against E-mail.
I bought one which cost under 200, ran full Android (a slightly older one, to be fair), and I was able to self-install with no real issues. Just unplug old stereo, and plug in all the same things into the new one. I have a 2013 Golf.

Mind you - it's a little janky after 5 years, but an awesome value for what it cost. I know what you're thinking: Yes it has Netflix and Retroarch. No, I don't ever use those.
I do think that their future Feb ruling is going to call for a ceasefire. If they called for one now, Israel & especially the US were just going to ignore it and reduce the power of the court.

Israel has created a beast that I don't think they can control themselves. I do think that the court is going to get more legitimacy after they explicitly tell Israel to __chill__, for Israel not to chill, and then get the ceasefire ruling against them & potentially an intensification of the genocide case.

Meanwhile, unfortunately, real people are suffering so these political games can be played.

I am so deeply disappointed in the Biden administration here. They're throwing away a lot of the good work they've done, and are actively getting Trump elected. People, naturally, do not want to participate in an election that is giving them a choice between ${person_currently_helping_a_genocide} and ${person_that_will_intensify_genocide}. You're just going to get voter apathy, and the consequences from that.

Incredibly smart people are unlikely to get hired by most big tech cos these days because the truth is that they don't want very smart people, they want pliable drones who will push the buttons per their boss's demands.

People generally don't want to hire those who are smarter than them, because they need subjects below them in the pecking order in order to make themselves look better. There are occasional exceptions, but the people who filter the resumes generally operate under these principles. It's unusual for exceptionally smart or talented people to work as recruiters.
