Yes, I’ve experienced this with a MBP and Dell XPS (both Intel). It seemed worse when under load. I tried all sorts - cleaned the fans, re-applied thermal paste, Isopropyl scrubbed the case, replaced battery etc. The only thing that made a big difference was turning off WiFi on the laptop and connecting via Ethernet instead. Presumably something in the WiFi chip is off-gassing, or a dental filling is reacting to EMF in some way.

Aren't the wind farms where these blades are going to be installed out at sea?

Doesn't it make more sense to build the factory (for the blades) at a port and transport the blades via ship.

This whole idea sounds like poor planning.
They try this in the appendix without success, unfortunately. It seems having this enabled early on in training is important.
Except that you're not allowed to take out a mortgage and denied credit if you're poor, which means you're stuck spending your money for necessities and therefore being poor. The system works great for people who (or whose family, circle, etc.) are already not poor.
> your paycheck--the dollar amount you brought home--would be cut in half. However, your car payment, your mortgage, and your credit card bills would stay at the same nominal value.

Not necessarily. If the transition to a deflationary economy is slow and planned, then expected deflation would start to be considered in the interest rates of your car payment, mortgage, etc. i.e. interest rates would become negative not long after inflation becomes negative.

If employers are capable of negotiating deflation adjusted salaries, then market pressure is capable of forcing companies to adjust their prices and interest rates to deflation.

Are you for real?

You think you are in a zero sum relationship with your co-workers, but not your boss/company?

The word negotiation indicates two parties with conflicting interests reaching an agreement. You don't negotiate with your co-worker, you negotiate with an HR department. You are literally in conflict with your employer. Your employer benefits by paying you the minimum possible, and you benefit by being paid the maximum possible.

You and your co-worker benefit by breaking open the companies books and knowing how much they could be paying you but aren't.
For one thing, a 747 is only 250 feet long. So a 300-foot blade on top would trail significantly.

For another, the shuttle piggyback worked partly because of the shuttle’s aerodynamic profile. It’s designed to go straight forward into the wind. This means the 747 still handled well. A windmill blade, though, would present a very different cross section to the oncoming air, and seriously screw up the host’s aerodynamics.

So you could mask it and put fairings on it, and by the time you’ve done that 500 times you’ll wish you’d just built a special-purpose airplane to begin with.
Deflation is not a healthy system under capitalism, where people must work to survive. In the ideal scenario the value of work would approach zero due to a reduction of money in circulation. Work done yesterday would always be worth more than work done today and generational wealth would eventually become necessary to not be locked in servitude to the wealthy.
I think it’s kind of bizarre that all the armchair airplane developers here know how this will end already.

You could, presumably have faith that both the founders and investors have asked themselves the same questions and have come up with an answer that satisfies at least them.
Don't forget the Jones Act (1920), which was originally designed to protect domestic shipping, which it immediately killed, and which now serves to protect domestic trucking.

So if you want to transport something from Northern California to Southern, you MUST truck it, even if you could afford to wait a few weeks. It's incredibly bad for the environment, and much less efficient.
My apologies. I keep keep forgetting people here are incapable of detecting sarcasm.

Your perspective is skewed. Virginia Woolf lived in the 20th century, and the Elizabethan period ended a few centuries before she was born. You can't use Virginia Woolf to prove anything about gender norms in the Elizabethan period, much less compare the norms between royal, noble and common women during Shakespeare's time.

Just putting things into perspective, here.
Instinctively I'd trust the people with the knowledge that goes farther back in time. On the other hand, I once whinged to my thesis advisor that a lot of people in machine learning don't seem to know much about older machine learning and AI work and he, with 30+ years of research on me, pointed out that people complained about that already when he was a PhD student.

There is so much work on AI that goes back about 80 years (counting from Pitts and McCulloch, because why not; or you could count from Turing) and it's very hard to both keep up with what everyone else is doing, and go deep in your own subject. e.g. you pick up a Reinforcement Learning book and it's basically attacking the same problems as in planning, and with very similar assumptions (states and action spaces) but it's like planning doesn't even exist.

Btw: they're next token predictors :P

Instead, I think most stays/goes content decisions are made by one vastly overworked Dan and by a bunch of flagging users who frequently have ulterior motives.

Define "better": is a higher CPI better, or is a lower CPI better?

Because the Boskin Commission found that the CPI numbers out of the BLS were too high and they changed the methodology to lower them after the Commission's report. Pre-Boskin CPI was being overstated.
Very much so! Someone clearly did not (or did?) read the book...

I was previously at a public European company that was losing money. I was just a lowly engineer when they brought in a McKinsey consultant. A lot of the changes such as layoffs and cost cutting that came after the arrival was already common sense.

I think the company has at least stopped bleeding money. In my lowly position I did not notice any significant change.

I have experienced deteriorating conditions at other companies that accepted vc money then brought in their own people.

Agreed. However, OP said "their best and most stable and lucrative customers are sure to be nation-states" which is, minimally, very overconfident.
The first step of a consultant is to define the problem. Common problems are

-I have an idea and I want everyone onboard.

-I want to get rid of x with no legal consequences.

-My company is inefficient because of x, but it is not about x because x is emotionally unsolvable, so can you solve my companies inefficiencies?

Note that all of these are easily known beforehand, but getting a group to get on the same page and actually move in one direction is hard, so bring in consultants.

> Not the engines though. Look at some of the costs and timeframes involved in one of the big 3's newer engines

Compare the cost of rockets when SpaceX started. People laughed SpaceX off too.

SpaceX didn't start with an existing knowledge base, talent and facilities either.

The idea of starting a rocket company and building reusable rockets was so laughable at the time that they couldn't even hire anyone for the chief engineer (Elon assumed the role because no-one else would do it).

In 2002 SpaceX realised it wasn't going to be able to buy an existing engine from the Russians, and decided to make their own <- this is essentially the place where Boom is now.

In 2008 they successfully launched Falcon 1 to orbit (on the 4th attempt), and would've gone bankrupt if that 4th attempt had failed like the first 3 <- Boom might never get to this point, but good on them for trying.
Not OP, but IIRC Jonathan Edwards held that the whole universe existed in the mind of God.

And? It has always sucked to be poor / have less. That doesn't mean that the measurement of prices via CPI is inaccurate.

"Hopping drones", with movement akin to the hunting method of robins [0], will be used as a kind of living minefield in military operations. When anti-air is absent/suppressed, they will engage in high energy aerial maneuvers to cover as much ground, with as little contest, as possible. Once emplaced, they will lower their signature and engage in low energy defensive fire/ambush behaviors, to hold territory.

The critical consideration is that movement is dangerous, under conditions of pervasive battlefield surveillance, so when it is possible at all it must be exploited to its full potential, and thus can be conducted via an expensive process such as flight. In turn, to make movement dangerous to the enemy, one must make terrain frictionful to cross, through high lethality, low detectability assets, of which mines are the paradigmatic example.

No, too simple.

Sometimes you want to include data and sometimes you don't for different reasons in different contexts. It's not a data handlers job to decide what data is or isn't included, it's the senders job to decide what not to include and the receivers job to decide what to ignore.

The simplest example is probably just the file path. tar or zip don't try to say whether or not a file in the container includes the full absolute path, a portion of the path, or no path.

The container should ideally be able to contain anything that any filesystem might have, or else it's not a generally useful tool, it's some annoying domain-specific specialized tool that one guy just luuuuuvs for his one use-case he thinks is obviously the most rational thing for anyone.

If you don't want to include something like a uid, say for security reasons not to disclose the internal workings of something on your end, then arrange not to include it when creating the archive, the same way you wouldn't necessarily include the full path to the same files. Or outside of a security concern like that, include all the data and let the recipient simply ignore any data that it doesn't support.

Arguably it goes further back to Pearce and Frege, Boole, Pascal, Leibniz and all the way to Aristotle, who was probably the first to seek a way to formalise structured thinking. Turing meant his computational apparatus as a formalisation of the way a human mathematician solves a problem by computation, i.e. by the manipulation of symbols according to a set of formal rules. In that, he followed in a long line of others who had thought about the same experience and how eminently mechanisable it is. Pascal was the first to actually do it, for arithmetic.

While society has gotten wealthier, have average people, at least in America, gotten wealthier? Technology has advanced so there's things that people can own now that they couldn't before, but if you look at things that are constant (e.g. housing) then it looks to me like people have gotten poorer.

I take issue with that last sentence which is vague enough to be a dog whistle of sorts and implies it is women who are somehow at fault and who need to change their behavior.

I learned awhile ago that nuanced perspectives surrounding women are pretty lacking in this site, however. I expect this post to be flagged or downweighted within an hour.

I guess it would be less messy if we just enact wealth tax and aim for 0% inflation.

0% inflation would still be undesirable. First of all, introducing any sort of deflation is undesirable and dangerous. Second of all, there are so many causes of inflation that it's practically impossible to control them. But fundamentally there is an issue of time and labor. For instance, a landscaper doing work on my property this week is providing me with far more value than the landscaper who did work for me 20 years ago. Likewise, a car right off the production line is more valuable than an identical model that has been sitting in storage for a decade. Simply put, the value of labor cannot be separated from the time in which that labor was performed. Over a long enough period of time, the value of any labor becomes practically nonexistent. Therefore, even if it were possible to maintain a 0% inflation rate, doing so would be distorting the market.
