Yeah I have completed it, and I really like his teaching style. I’d say it might be a little tough if you have absolutely no knowledge of statistics.

This is cool. I was trying something along these lines with PureScript. May main motivation was this:

> For instance, a to-do item will
only "run" once, and any additional updates will need to happen
via calls using its controller, or by it itself listening to events and
reacting to them

Additionally, I think another feature of this framework would be using a configuration file as context, which uses some form of template files, and this way unless an abstract feature is needed, you can create entire apps by creating templates and one config file. I think TS might be a better choice than PureScript which I have not checked if it is even maintained anymore.
Except gas exports are largely being used to retire brown coal burning which is even worse for the environment than LNG. This isn't an all-or-nothing deal even with exports. The richer countries should take on the costs of better efficiency first and we can trickle those technologies down to other nations as they become cheaper than LNG and coal.
Series-parallel is more their speed.

Scientific rigor is built up over time by different scientists replicating and re-proving and building on the work of others. It's never a single paper. So the OC is right. Before this should be used to decide someone's life, there should be a larger foundation of evidence.

>This is true, but I believe if you have an index-organised table then subsequent indexes would have to reference the primary key. With PostgreSQL, indexes can effectively point to the record in the heap by using the block number and item pointer in the block. This should mean, in theory, index lookups are faster in PostgreSQL than non-clustered index lookups in SQL Server.

Yes this is a tradeoff, if you primarily access by the clustered index its faster, if you access by secondary it slightly slower.

Clustered indexes work very well for tables that have a single access pattern, they can also save significant space and I/O since data is not copied in both heap and index.

Having the choice is great, Postgresql forces heaps and SQLite forces clustered, MSSQL lets you do either based on your design choice.

Yes you can see the description here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/s...

I grew up in the Midwest, and my father, who went to the University of Kentucky, was fraternity brothers with Ben Gish, and so growing up it was a name that I heard often when he’d tell stories from that time. I remember always being aware that a friend of my father had been framed for burning their family newspaper.

I live in New York City, now, and one evening found myself sitting at a bar in Brooklyn where my roommate, the bartender, was closing around 3am (at the time I worked a very late shift at the 24 hour Apple Store). The normal patrons had all gone, and myself, my roommate, and another man I’d never met were locked in having a last couple of beers while my roommate closed up. I had a long conversation with the man I hadn’t met before that eventually turned to where we grew up. It turned out that this man was Ray Gish (also mentioned in this article), the younger brother of Ben. Ray even recognized my father’s name, because Ben had mentioned him before.

Ray invited my roommate (whom he already knew well) and I over to his place for a last drink, and I vividly remember him playing “Street Hassle” by Lou Reed on his record player. It was the first time I’d ever heard that song.

Anyway—wildest coincidence that has ever happened to me. I see and say howdy to Ray every now and then when I find myself in that part of Brooklyn—one of the most genuine people I’ve ever met.
It's a big topic everywhere. A lot of early adopters of heat pumps end up with relatively expensive and inefficient solutions because the people that install them barely know what they are doing. There's a lot of demand for heat pumps so most people doing the installation work are very new to this. The good news is that they are probably learning from their mistakes and gaining a lot of knowledge. The bad news is of course that a lot of people are getting a bit of a bad deal.

Things will improve in a few years but until then you really need to be careful with making sure you get the right stuff installed properly by the right people for the right price.
Thank you for this amazing, inspiring answer. However I need to disagree with the "it doesn't matter" part. Your creations, projects , endeavors whatever they are still do matter, especially as they might come out amazing in the end, because without the constant pressure to perform and adhere to various rules you can feel free to experiment, try unconventional approaches, being liberated like you have said.

> Some of this (tech industry) productivity gains just come from adoption of existing tools like Google Workspace or Office 365, issue trackers and version control with tools like Gitlab, Github, or Jira.

Why would other industries need version control with tools like Gitlab, Github, or Jira. These tools exist to solve complexity problems that arise in software. They aren't making the tech industry more productive then others. If anything, it's a huge red flag if a company is a little too obsessed with Jira.
…this is science? Eye tracking software is pretty cheap these days, If anything it was harder to do the study this way. No wonder trust in academia is at an all-time low.

Unfortunately there are so many people and teams who thinks that simply running their databases on RDS means that they're backed up, highly-available and can be easily load balanced, upgraded, partitioned, migrated and so on which is simply not the case with the basic configuration.

RDS is a great choice, for prototyping and only for production if you know what you're doing when setting it up.

FWIW, this is common in all cloud deployments, people assume that running something "severless" is a magical silver bullet.
While there is minimal or no passport control within the CTA, for example when travelling between UK and Ireland, the expectation is that the passenger is a citizen of a country whose nationals would not normally require a visa to enter either.

This alone may not be sufficiently proven by an ID document like driving license, and some airlines will only accept passport for travel.

https://help.ryanair.com/hc/en-gb/articles/12889174472721-Wh...

Having a long term residency visa in the UK, but an Indian passport for example, would not automatically qualify you for travel to Ireland without a separate visa, although lax checks within the CTA may, in theory, let you travel if no one looks hard enough and should an airline be satisfied with your UK driving licence alone (and assume you're either an Irish or British citizen).

The requirment is further complicated by the fact that some third country nationals holding either a used and valid UK or Irish short term (tourist) visa can travel to either countries without issues due to the British-Irish Visa Scheme/treaty, but the same courtesy wouldn't apply to a third country national with a (long term) UK BRP - they'd need a separate visa for Ireland.

Border checks or lack thereof in the CTA are a rather interesting subject matter.
For you, me and James Hiebert, this sort of optimisation is exhilarating. Getting a half-hour job down to milliseconds? Awesome!

But for the scientists that wrote the original code, maybe not. Maybe they think of this sort of thing as drudge work, something that doesn't really hold their interest. Their fun is in designing the mathematical concept, and turning it into code is just a chore.

So yeah, we could teach scientists. But even better would be if we could provide scientists with tools that are just naturally fast when expressing problems on their own terms.
Agreed, it's really bad.

I think they really improved the code/repository search, but finding issues got really worse.

And IMO finding issues easily should be a top priority for a platform like GitHub.

Hydrogen (or a related e-fuel made from hydrogen) is likely essential for a fully renewable grid, especially at high latitude. Not much of the total energy flow would go through hydrogen, but replacing that component with overprovisioning or batteries could be very very expensive. The hydrogen would be stored underground as a compressed gas, not as liquid. Done right, the energy of compression would be (mostly) recovered when the hydrogen was burned in a turbine.
You can also construct programs in Turing complete languages to always halt (e.g. by bounding the number of iterations of all loops, usually with the tradeoff of limited input size).
The old search was much better than the new search. The new search can never find exact strings in my repos, even when I have copy-pasted those strings from my repo to the search bar!

Is anyone here familiar with structures like these? Do you have any theories how this could have happened?
2% is about the ratio of earth cross section area to Argentina surface, that sums up.

Proximity should not impact the efficiency as the Sun is not a point source and what is important is effectively the ratio of lit/shaded surface.

Now that’s 2.8 millions of square km that is 2.8e12 square meters. Mylar at 7g per square meter would mean sending up 19.6e6 tons for the sail only.

Low orbit future best payload seems to be 250 tons, the sail would then take about 8000 rocket launches if I’m correct.

And then the sail’s structure, moving it to high orbit, the steering system to manage the tremendous solar pressure, etc…

I was very interested in this when the leading photos implied the use of eye tracking equipment used in the real world. I think those results would be extremely interesting to go over.

Asking people to point out where they focus on some printed out photos is not remotely the same thing, I would not expect similar results.

I tend to be "extremely" situationally aware compared to friends when out on the town or walking home, but I too would have likely pointed to the center of the photo in this test. In the real world I would be scanning my peripheral as well as doing intermittent "Crazy Ivan" checks behind me.

edit:
I think studies like this give "science" a bad name when you use words like "capture a hard truth" combined with data that obviously in no way does such a thing as the methodology simply cannot answer the question being asked. To be fair, a lot of this is on science journalism in general.

The only question this study answered is the difference in where men and women click on photos presented to them in a certain context. As much as you try, you will not ignite the fight or flight emotional responses people have when walking into a potentially sketchy situation/area. This low effort "science" getting published and promoted in media is getting rather rote and exhausting lately.
Shell took a busy station next to my old office at South Park, San Francisco, out of commission for 6 months to install hydrogen pumps. Six months of forgone revenues, installation costs for likely no actual new revenues as most of those 2K registered hydrogen vehicles are owned by the state of California.

As you can see from the study daytime pics have the same pattern as nighttime. Men tight, women wide. I'm not sure I get the point other than women take in more of the surrounds, men are more focused.

In any place hydrogen can be used, you’re probably honestly much better off with natural gas or propane unless you literally cannot have a carbon atom involved.

Liquid fuel is so energy dense that if you have to synthesize it and remove an equivalent amount of carbon from the atmosphere it’s probably still easier and cheaper than hydrogen.
> I don't think productivity gains explain why companies need fewer people to be employed

Right. If these productivity gains actually scaled, then why not add more people?
No, not at all. Maybe baffled by the use of expensive cloud services instead of running on your own bare metal where the cost is in datacenter space and bandwidth. The loss of control coupled with the cost is baffling.
I find your first point interesting, wouldn’t be that solved by context propagation and waiting for the server to shutdown? Thanks!
This is also my concern. How transferable is one looking at a photo vs actual scene. And this is from the fundamental limitation of whole field of humanities. They ignore science and experiments and logical thinking.

I once participated in a psychology (under the literature department ironically) experiment done by my friend, for the final year project. I was told to play a video game or simulation, to click everything clickable inside the room. There are electrodes all over my head. I mean ok, just clicking things and done, easy money.

After that

Friend: So you feel guilty when you steal those things right?

Me: Wait what? Is that a thief simulator?
Maybe read a few comments here and try to understand the reasoning instead of just riding on the hype train and automatically assume Apple will succeed in every endeavor.
Probably, but likely cost and time prohibitive due to extra equipment, time spent per participant, limited hours to study, and potentially more variables to account for (pedestrians, variations in lighting, …).

Also, would you as a researcher trust randoms to return the highly expensive equipment that is rented out in your name? It adds an additional element of risk. Plus, if a person is directly supervising the ownership of eye tracking glasses (ie, researcher always near participant), then wouldn’t that invalidate the reason for the study (how do people perceive area WALKING ALONE at night)?

I have the theory that the most powerful way to be someone people love to talk to is to learn to get into a good mood.

This theory is two-fold.

First: Mood is contagious. So being in a good mood yourself is the most direct way to make others get into a good mood too. And that's what makes us like being around someone. When they make us feel good.

Second: It is possible to learn how to get into a good mood. It's not so much related to the situation around you, which mood you are in. It's more of an internal state. Similar to how you can change your physical posture, you can put yourself in different mental postures. The more you practice, the better you get at it.

Do you have any evidence that Rust programs actually run 10x as much code as C++ programs? That seems very unlikely. Most translations from C++ to Rust or vice versa that I've seen are within like 30% of each other.

The fact that Rust makes it easy to pull in a large number of small dependencies instead of a few enormous dependencies is irrelevant. You aren't using any more code.

For example are you counting Rusts `regex` crate as a dependency? Well that's just in the standard library for C++.

Does Boost count as a single dependency in C++? Because that would be like 30 separate crates in Rust.
> They are however compromising it pretty heavily with overblown claims about how it's going to make people's lives better.

You've just described every AI company. AI is not even their core business, but MS is certainly in the best position out of any of the Big Tech companies to deliver a successful consumer product. Whether someone else will step in and steal their lunch, or they just fumble the product, only time will tell, but none of this is an indication that they're "abandoning AI" as GP mentioned. Quite the contrary―they're heavily invested in it.

The rest of your post is pure speculation, but I'll set a reminder for 5 years from now in case your crystal ball is legit.
The cheapest fuel cells are alkaline cells. If you try to run those on a gasified carbon-containing fuel, they will clog up with carbonates (from the CO2) almost immediately. Ammonia would make more sense, but even then the CO2 in air causes clogging.

Carbon monoxide in gasified fuels can poison fuel cell catalysts.

The fuel cells best suited to carbonaceous fuels are solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) but these operate at 800 to 1000 C; they are not "instant on" devices. They're better as a topping cycle for something like a combustion turbine (which can also serve to pressurize them, increasing current density.) But these are also somewhat fragile (thin ceramic membranes) and any technology operating at 1000 C has lifetime concerns from creep and other degradation processes.
