I literally stayed in hotels from October 2022 - October 2023 permanently with my wife except for two months between January and February last year as we flew around the country. We generally stayed in Homewood Suites, Home2Suites, Embassy Suites and Hyatt Places.

Most Hyatt Places didn’t have washer and dryers onsite. We had to either Uber to take our clothes or use a wash and fold delivery service.

The rest of the places did.

The rooms are usually around 400 square feet.

Homewood Suites and Home2Suites have dishwashers and full refrigerators. Home2Suites you have to ask for a “burner”
I honestly think the flaw is in the name. It's /not/ a door. It's a temporary hole in the airframe that's used when the interior is installed, and it can be _converted into a door_ if the airline/regulations require additional entry/egress points.

Now they call it a "door plug", and the technician working on it searched the QA SOP document for the right procedures and searched for "door" and "open" and got the SOP for "opening a door", which requires zero documentation after the work is done.

I'l know it's contrived, but it's so stupid that it might just be what happened.

Might be edited to something like "Though many are mere platitudes, following the style recommendations of Elements would make your writing better if you knew how to follow them".

The sentence, as written, suggests that the platitudes, specifically, as opposed to any which might be less uhhhh, platitudinous, would make your writing better. I don't believe this was the author's intent.

> leaving a car outside in winter means the stuck on road snow and slush doesn't melt off body panels, so they'll rust even faster.

So then its still ~$20k for a place to put an ICE car either way and not really connected to the cost for an EV. Since you already have a 60A line to where the garage was, the actual costs in the end for wiring up an EVSE is probably less than $1,000. An EVSE can be had for a few hundred bucks, a few dozen feet of romex and all the other odds and ends needed would be another couple hundred, and you'll have a charger that will last for decades. And chances are some of that cost can be subsidized with tax credits in the US.
Are there any models here that you specifically like or dislike?
> The classic solution to do resource management in C is to (ab)use goto

Why "(ab)use" goto ? Use it with pleasure! Solution from Linus Torwalds:

int somefunc(...) {
int ret = E_OK;
FILE *a = NULL;
FILE *b = NULL;
FILE *c = NULL;

if(!(a == fopen("a.txt",...)) {
ret = E_A_FAILED;
goto end;
}

if(!(b == fopen("b.txt",...)) {
ret = E_B_FAILED;
goto end;
}

if(!(b == fopen("b.txt",...)) {
ret = E_C_FAILED;
goto end;
}

/* do your fancy stuff here */

end:

if(a)
fclose(a);
if(b)
fclose(b);
if(c)
fclose(c);

return ret;
}

My first job our software ran on Windows, Linux and Mac. This was well before OS X, and I was horrified to learn that all the 'multitasking' in the Mac version was a message pump and longjmp calls all-the-fuck-over. Decode a few blocks of gzip compressed data, then check for network traffic. Then decode part of a JPEG. I don't know how they did it.

The were, however, the only people in the world with multiple monitors (outside of SGI).
Sometimes you have nodes that overlap each other, so you want to control whether or not a node is in front of or behind another node.

Though yes, they could have explicitly defined a z-index or defined a convention on how the ordering should work (first nodes top and last nodes bottom or vice versa?). It's interesting to think about the trade offs between explicitly defining these things vs. leaving the application to implicitly make the choice. JSON Canvas seems to be designed to use in tandem with markdown files in a note taking app, so it makes sense why they opted for the more implicit design to be similar to markdown

I find that there's often something very subtle in Bauhaus design that can make things awful very quickly.

Sometimes I see 'Bauhaus' style things and I think they're incredible, but then very slight variations of that same thing immediately look ghastly to me, but I can never quite put my finger on what it is. I think there's a certain kind of purity required in the design to make sure the simple look works.

I think this is also why Bauhaus design often ages terrible. Immaculate plaster walls can look nice, but the second they age, get weathered or develop a 'patina' they look awful.

Obsidian is one of the few closed-source applications I would consider relying on, due to their commitment to building around simple, open file formats.

Sure, they could screw me over and start charging absurd amounts of money for their app, but high quality open source alternatives would pop up immediately.

Meanwhile, as long as they don't screw me over, it's unlikely an open source alternative is going to be able to catch up to a profitable business that keeps their users happy.

It's an interesting approach, focused on incentive alignment, which is the best way to ensure quality long term.

Slow-cooking to bring out a complex, deep, yet mild flavour is a crucial technique in general. I'm too impatient for it most of the time, but I discovered it while trying to be economical. Like with leftover stew, safe to eat but maybe the texture was off or whatever - pick out incompatible ingredients, mash, slow cook with lots of water for many hours until reduced to gravy. Add some of that to the next stew. Just wonderful. Indeed, almost any time you would add water or thickener, some stock or gravy is probably better.
No joke: The guy that coined the term is the same guy that made the merit badge. Enjoy looking that one up.

Related fun fact - On many industrial robots that I've worked with, the teach pendant (the handheld controller you drive it around with), requires you to hold a 3 position spring-loaded switch in a middle position for the robot to operate, which requires you to hold with a rather precise amount of force. Squeeze it either too loosely or too tightly and the robot disables.

The idea being that not only will you dropping the pendant disable the robot, but it will also disable if you accidentally touch energized equipment and your hand clenches, or (more likely) you panic and squeeze the controller too tightly.

If you really want to expand your horizons try to write an operating system. It does not have to be from the metal up or involve kernel authoring. It can be as an application in your current OS, or even something that works in a web browser.

Writing a new OS will force you to consider security handling, transmission limitations, performance, original usability problems, organization that scales in multiple directions, and so on.

I did not mean doing home electrical work. That I do leave to professionals.

But there are times I have a device on my bench that is consuming 230V AC.

I have a 3kVA separation transformer set up, which makes it safer for me to work with the device (there is no potential between the DUT and the ground).

Technically, even without the transformer the residual current protection should kick in and prevent you getting killed between device and the ground. I have tested mine couple of times to check whether it works. But I somehow still feel better with a separation transformer.

But there is still the problem that I could touch different parts of the device that are at different potential and then I could get zapped this way. There is not much protection there. Solution -- If you must, don't ever touch more than one place at a time.

Well, so to summarize, you recommend in a spicy way that only Yann LeCun can, you recommend that we abandon generative models in favor of joint embedding architectures?

Yann LeCun (01:29:15) Yes.

Lex Fridman (01:29:15) Abandon autoregressive generation.

Yann LeCun (01:29:17) Yes.

Lex Fridman (01:29:19) This feels like court testimony, abandon probabilistic models in favor of energy based models as we talked about, abandon contrastive methods in favor of regularized methods. And let me ask you about this, you’ve been for a while, a critic of reinforcement learning.

Yann LeCun (01:29:36) Yes.

Lex Fridman (01:29:38) The last recommendation is that we abandon RL in favor of model predictive control, as you were talking about, and only use RL when planning doesn’t yield the predicted outcome, and we use RL in that case to adjust the world model or the critic.

Yann LeCun (01:29:55) Yes.

Temu is often selling stuff to Americans at a loss, to be fair, and even that bleeding is staunched by their access to low-cost shipping agreements. But yeah, even if you did factor in those costs, the final product would still be a fair bit cheaper than the same version sold in US retail stores.

I built my own database system and wanted to benchmark its performance against other popular databases (Postgres, Sqlite, MySQL, SQL Server).

I didn't just measure the time between the API call and the results returning. I measured from the time the user pressed the 'go button' and saw the results displayed on the screen.

I wasn't satisfied until mine was faster in both cases across a wide range of queries.
There’s enough space to add some sound bars to the video to make it even clearer it has sound. They don’t need to be accurate, just moving.

Also, I haven’t tested but it seems like uploading an image might be required? If so, consider reading the metadata from the file and extracting the artwork, if there is any.

Finally, instead of a fixed colour background you could try making it the whole image, then have a “cutout” in the middle which spins. Might even be able to add some white overlays so it looks more like a vinyl.

> The idea is very simply that combining abundant energy with something capable of holding structure in such an environment could in theory produce a persistent store of information. A leap, sure, but a fun one.

Hardly? We know that structures on the sun are capable of being (somewhat) persistent, and not only that, but even doing something vaguely resembling computation. Solar magnetic fieldlines are long-lived, producing visible sunspots that not only last for potentially several months, but show variations in frequency over a largely stable 11-year clock/cycle (during which the entire solar magnetic field flips/behaves as a binary oscillator). Magnetohydrodynamics is famously complex and capable of metastable configurations, and we don't know exactly what happens under the photosphere, but I don't think anybody could really argue that there isn't enough physical space and raw energy to swallow up every personal and animal on Earth.

Really, for all we know, I think the sun itself might be alive/sentient. Or maybe it contains not physically embodied life, but isolated engrams and memes styled after Boltzmann brains, something analogous to crystal structures (which self-proliferate/grow) but with more complexity. The question is whether there's any way to decode/decrypt the information that definitely is there— complex heterogeneous distributions over time in field strength, temperatures, convection patterns, etc.— into any form that isn't just repetition plus random noise.

I guess the issue is that you don't really know why you're conscious. If you had never seen a brain before, you would just think it was a useless blob of chaotically arranged fat. And even if you did know why you're conscious, you still wouldn't be able to say that that's the only way your specific form of consciousness can arise, nor that there aren't any other completely alien but equally conscious types of minds. Hell, homomorphic encryption means that it can be mathematically impossible to know whether any given complex system is just random noise, or contains someone's memories, experiences, desires, a soul. So given any system of adequate complexity, without knowing enough about it to put definite constraints on what it can do, I don't see how you could say for sure that it isn't "alive"/sentient.

When I hit my early teens, the example I thought of was n-body gravitational perturbations in something like the asteroid belt, and something like crystal grain structures in regular solid matter.

…Sucks for the lack of opposable thumbs, I guess, if it is alive. The information which may or may not be encoded in the sun may have unknown complexity and meaning, but I feel much more confident in saying that the amount of precision carried out by the solar wind and solar radiation will never allow it to shape and navigate the world around it like we can ours.
