Actually that trillion dollar number was from a Tokamak researcher. Though I am not sure how serious they where being when using it.

With Tokamak's Q isn't a constant for a general design it's a result of scaling laws and a specific size thus ITER was chosen at Q >= 10 but they could have picked bigger or smaller target. EX: https://nucleus.iaea.org/sites/fusionportal/Shared%20Documen...

In 1997 JET hit an equivalent Q of 0.67 using a 3m by 1.25m device and D-T. You can look at costs and scaling factors along with the output of DD vs DT fusion. I took a trillion dollar budget just mean ~10,000x the cost of JET which seems to line up reasonably well. Though making such a large jump in scale would have it's own challenges.

My suspicion is those cheap single rooms were never worth it for the hosts once you consider the long tail of things that can go wrong.

One bad guest who upsets the other residents and leaves the property in bad condition will sap your earnings and throw off your life. Airbnb might eventually reimburse you for damage, but there’s still your time and aggravation.

Also any household maintenance issue, like an internet outage or finicky toilet or a microwave on the fritz becomes an emergency if it’s an amenity you promised to a guest. Even realizing the guest towels are getting a little worn might be a cause for panic. Motel 6 has a handyman on call, maybe the owner or a relative, and can take a room out of rotation if they’re not booked solid, but Joe Airbnb is stuck begging a plumber to come out on short notice or rushing to Target before check in time.
Myself I am looking at a used Nissan Leaf but I don’t see it happening until we redo the electricity in the kitchen and probably the panel for the whole house.
Well, apart from the lack of LTE connectivity. Please, anyone@apple.com, deliver me from the temptation to get another ThinkPad, just because they ship WWAN...
You knew this when making the booking? Why didn’t you book a hotel instead? Airbnb or the host have no incentive to change if people like you keep going back. They will change only when it starts to hurt their bottom line.
Well, I would strongly advocate that such a system be used only after a diagnosis, at which point, you would be placed on medications to slow the progression. At that point, this would be seen as a rather innocuous thing by family members, since it's a machine meant to help you to remember to take medication that you need to help with your dementia.

I have considered other machines -- again, as a theoretical exercise -- but ultimately, my decision process was that it had to maintain the plausible deniability to family members that I just died of natural causes. Allowing family to believe that I opted out because I felt that I was a burden would certainly lead to trauma beyond death from natural causes or an accident.

I'm a strong believer in having the power of euthanasia. Part of the reason why dementia frightens me is because it would strip me of this agency. I currently suffer from heart failure, and dementia is a comorbidity in the later stages. Being able to choose a dignified end, hopefully in 30-40 years, is important to me.
That works fine for hand sanitizer but it becomes too viscous to spray as disinfectant, which is important for hospitals.
I might have not caught that he tried to kill graphene os. Didn't he just say that he decided to not use gOS anymore because he thinks that the developer of gOS might have something against him personally?

In china an employer is required to pay something like 30% of your salary if it elects to enforce a non-compete. If the company doesn't pay you, then it's non-enforceable. Assuming you were at some decent compensation, this can actually be quite a bit of money. So if these workers took that pay cheque, they get to enjoy the timeoff during the non-compete and go party or start a family or whatever. The downside of the non-competes in China though is that because you are being paid to NOT work, if you start moonlighting or doing something sketchy the penalties are way more severe. I actually kind of like this approach to non-competes and it is in some ways better than how it works in many US states.

https://goglobalgeo.com/blog/non-compete-clauses-in-china-re...

The big problem with this system is not the penalties for breaking it, but the fact that it can sabotage you if you get hit too early in your career with a big gap. On the other hand, it gives you a nice opportunity to take a year or two off to start a family, spin up a new business or go back to school.
The pricing does go down for larger volumes and is something we still have to narrow down to the exact place that makes sense to companies and is also viable.

- We do not force PDF/* profiles down to the user, but it seems that for most of them PDF/UA-1 would be a sensible default. We can extract most of the tags from the HTML semantics by themselves which makes it much easier.

- We target the PDF 1.7 spec. Color profiles can be changed and you can use a custom .icc profile, with the corresponding embedding restrictions based on the document format. MediaBox is supported through the @page size property. Bleed, trim and marks can be added using vendor specific css properties. We don't support ArtBox yet but this is something we can look into! So far none of our customers really wanted to take this out to a real print shop, but we would be glad to help people go down this route :)
Controversial take, but if you have an EV, should do most of your charging at home. If you're taking a trip sure, you'll have to pay more for charging stations, but in general, travel always costs more (food, housing, etc).

Glad to see people building in the PDF space, which as a format is unfortunately both awful and ubiquitous. Are you planning to build any support for programmatically filling out existing PDF forms? That's a huge pain point our product is facing that doesn't seem easy to solve.

You get there by understanding what you are doing, uncertainty leads to anxiety. And you get to that understanding by trying to invent a pile of abstractions so you understand how those works and when to use them and when to not use them. You can't just skip that learning phase and go direct to expert.
You know what you could do?

1. Not allow Airbnbs in residential areas

2. Force each Airbnb host to list the address

That's interesting, though the type inference seems like spooky action at a distance there: removing an assertion can break code.

I suppose it gives you a way to specify the length in the examples (below), but it seems more ergonomic to take it from the original array.

let bool_arr = core::array::from_fn::<_, 5, _>(|i| i % 2 == 0);

We ended up writing a similar wrapper around https://github.com/jung-kurt/gofpdf library. We haven't open sourced it yet. But it's made it a lot easier to deal with rendering a PDF, especially over pagebreaks ect.

You seemed to have missed the point entirely. Not just in my comment, but in being alive.
In this case it was because of a defective 74LS174 chip. To be more accurate, he was experimenting with a doner board since it's 74LS174 was used to repair another machine.

I think the actual application in this case was education, likely for himself but interesting enough for his audience.

Adrian Black's channel has gone through interesting transitions through the years. He went from an everyday hobbiest who made simple, but common, repairs to someone who tries to understand how the electronics works to diagnose problems and make targeted repairs. While the host of some channels will say, "old caps, let's replace them," Adrian will see if the caps are actually source of the problem before replacing them (unless they are of a type guaranteed to leak or explode). Rather than swapping chips, he will look at the signals generated by the chips to see whether they (or surrounding circuitry) are the source of the problem.

Why is experimentation like this valuable? I would suggest there are two reasons. First of all, people should be encouraged to experiment with what they have. While Adrian has a lot more than most people, his resources appear to be limited (and a lot of his more exotic stuff appears to be the product of goodwill, since people appreciate what he does). Second, it lays the foundations for projects that may have more utility. For example: much of this particular journey would be applicable to expanding the memory on machines that don't have an integrated way to expand memory. (Say you wanted to upgrade the RAM on a Macintosh 128k.)

EDIT: elaboration on capacitor's comment.
> The Mongols undoubtedly wiped out entire ethnic groups during their conquests.

They didn't. I checked. The fact that you write 'undoubtedly wiped out' without being able to name a single ethnic group, language, religion, culture that got wiped out says something. No?

> They killed millions of people.

They did kill people and were destructive as all empires are. But they weren't genocidal. And most of the 'brutality' is exaggerated for the benefit of oddly enough the conquering mongols and subjugated peoples.

> But to speak of the Mongols as "preservers of knowledge and culture" is silly.

They preserved it because they merged into local populations. Hence mughal persia, mughal india and the various khanates throughout central asia and china. As I said, they were multicultural and multiracial empire. They didn't force their language, customs, religions, etc on the conquered people. They did the oppposite. They adopted the local language, religions, customs. All the way from eastern europe to china to persia and the middle east. Now juxtapose that with what happened to european imperialism?

> but it hardly seems like something they deserve credit for.

It isn't a coincidence that marco polo went to china during the rule of the mongols. The mongols deserve credit for much of the modern world. Starting with the italian renaissance ( it isn't a coincidence that the italian renaissance, medicis, etc ) occurred during the mongol empire, to the rise of russian empire, the rise of china, the rise of the ottomans, etc.

It's remarkable how the mongols were so bloodthirsty and genocidal but the peoples they conquered are the most numerous in the world?

Now compare the mongols to the european imperialists who wiped out an entire hemisphere and more.

Here is a list of regions the mongols and their descendents conquered - china, india, persia, middle east, eastern europe, russia, central asia, etc. Tell me which of these people were wiped out. I'll wait.

"I'm worried this ban will only affect honest hosts."

EMF meters(like in the airplane to spot mobiles) are quite cheap and if you find an active one, you can probably sue the host, but at least reporting should have some effect, even though no instaban.

"If a guest reports the presence of an indoor camera after that, Airbnb says it will investigate and that it could remove the host’s listing or account as a result."

I do think that many hosts are scared of loosing the income, so they will comply.

Not sure how AirBnB has a $100 billion market cap. The use case for an AirBnB, which is mostly large group travel, seems limited when comparing to the use case for a hotel (every other type of travel). Marriott and Hyatt combined have a lower market cap than AirBnB.
It really has to be part of the routine, and there needs to be automated nagging in place to ensure that it goes off due to programmed conditions, and not due to neglect.

I think this is especially important in cases of dementia. Daily routines will become one of the last things to go, as long as there is good nagware in place to keep you in line.

I use nagware to remind me to take my medication, do my Duolingo practice, do my nightly checkins to GitHub, feed the various critters that don't or won't remind me themselves, and do my various work rituals. Weekly, monthly, and annual reminders (doctor appointments and birthdays) are also important.
Good for you. We never used it in 10 years of nomadding. However, we did abuse it constantly by contacting hosts and then cancelling the request and paying them cash rent at a negotiated price for a month or two. Idk how well that would work anymore.

I have had all good experiences as an individual using them. It seems almost all abnb disaster stories stem from families or groups staying in a place. Even couples.

By biggest complaint though is that the cleaning fee is priced for groups and families. I'm paying $60 for someone to come and arrange the pillows at worst.
Ha, $20/hr for house cleaners is so 2020. They're much more than that in reality.
Cleaning fees aren't a "scam" - most property owners really do need to pay someone to clean the property at the end of a stay.

But, as another commenter said, they can be used as a way to encourage longer stays, as with most places you only pay a single cleaning fee regardless of the length of your stay. But, again, it's just a fact that these rentals are usually just cleaned between guests (as opposed to a hotel when cleaning is done daily so it can be rolled into the nightly rate).

>It’s a kind of glorified cut and paste. Pastiche is putting together things kind of imitating a style. And in some sense, that’s what it’s doing. It’s imitating particular styles, and it’s cutting and pasting a lot of stuff. It’s a little bit more complicated than that. But to a first approximation, that’s what it’s doing is cutting and pasting things.

This argument is terrible because it proves too much. Either AIs are automata with no connection to the world, or if they are connected to the world its just copy-paste.

And somehow infants aren't just copy paste because uuuuh they have "true understanding" whatever that is.

I'm so tired of (mostly boomers) talking about learning how to work on cars like it's easy. Sorry guys, but the companies who make those DIY repair manuals that you guys keep talking about using to learn wrenching don't seem to make stuff for any modern vehicles. Don't believe me? Go check out how pathetic their selection is right now: https://haynes.com/en-us/

It is nigh impossible for a non-car person to learn how to wrench without direct literal hand-holding from those who do.

It's also lead to the mechanic industry being FAMOUS for scamming grandmas, mothers, US soldiers, and other captive audiences. I think the only groups with a worse reputation are lawyers and car salespeople.

> And who's going to provide the politicians a better way of doing it? Not only does IT lead by example in blind trust of the cloud, but they only sell their services that way also.

This is where smaller and more specialized providers can gain ground, and in some areas has done so. When the large providers focus on price and ignoring the law, smaller providers can compete with a better (but more expensive) product.

The biggest hurdle for a positive change is that in many situations, IT companies that ignore the law can often gain more by paying fines and splitting the cost among multiple won contracts, than smaller companies that follow the law. There is a similar problem in procurement where a large company can have a strategy to agree to anything in order to win all contracts, then relying on their lawyers to limit the fallout when they eventually fail to deliver. Systematic abusing the legal system should simply lead to increased fines.

I love Ted Chiang and that story is a banger. The movies like Limitless, Lucy or Phenomenon don't really take the concept to its conclusions. Limitless posits day trading, or politics, as the highest goal. Lucy goes post human in a silly, fantasy way. Phenomenon was pretty cool except for the telekinesis. But Understand sort of hits all the bases and I really like the thesis that there is an irreducible, existential struggle between Utilitarianism and Aesthetics. And of course, the realization that the protag is actually the bad guy. Not a huge fan of the idea of "programming" another person with engrams and random stuff in the environment, to like, die, but it's more plausible than telekinesis!
