By the EPA's own definition, as cited in the ruling: Any uses that do not have an ongoing use as of and after 2015.

>In response to growing concerns about PFAS, the EPA proposed a new SNUR in January 2015, “designating as a significant new use manufacturing . . . or processing of an identified subset of [PFAS] for any use that will not be ongoing after December 31, 2015, and all other [PFAS] for which there are currently no ongoing uses.”

>... The proposed rule
also made clear that the SNUR would apply only to “any use not ongoing as
of the date on which this proposed rule is published.” Id.

Ads are not chiefly about awareness. They are about producing want, manufacturing desire. The idea that ads are about “hey we have a product, just thought we’d let you know my good sir” hasn’t been true for over a century.

You don’t advertise until you are confident that 90% of your potential market segment knows about you. You advertise continuously as long as the desire-making makes a profit according to whatever projections the marketing department makes.

You say that that Coca-cola is one of the biggest advertisers. At the same time everyone knows about them. Are they simply pouring money down the drain?

You're essentially correct; in JS, if you write

for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; ++i)
...

then the array's length is not read once at the beginning of the loop; it is read every loop iteration. So if the code inside the loop (or inside the getter for `length` itself) modifies the length of the array, then it will be caught when the condition is evaluated. The problem is that the C++ code makes assumptions about JS (reading the length of an array cannot change the array's length) that don't hold. But it's an easy mistake to make.

I recall this being very contentious when the rail banking act was enacted back in the '80s. At that time the right of way that became the Katy Trail in Missouri was in dispute but the adjacent land owners lost.

More recently and closer to home, Union Pacific abandoned part of its Valley Subdivision from Lincoln,NE to Marysville, KS and successfully railbanked the entire route. Adjacent landowners fought it to no avail. Today the trail has three segments--Lincoln to Beatrice, NE, Beatrice to the Kansas/Nebraska state line, and from the state line to Marysville, KS.

As I understand, railbanking is a way for railroads to abandon a route while protecting the right of way for possible future railroad use. In the mean time the trails make use of the right of way and maintain it.

It's not the evaporation per se that matters in the pumped hydro, it is the evaporation loss of water you already invested in pumping, so it is just an efficiency loss. The vapor loss for the heat sink is indirect, you usually just calculate the turbine efficiency. I don't know if the (generally much smaller) pumping requirements for turbines is already included in their efficiency calculations, but it would need to be of course.

Either way, it just goes to show further that pumped hydro would be more efficient, when and where it is feasible.

Define "bad enough" in more specific terms.

I believe it largely depends on the application. If you have a lot of waste heat, it's potentially a way to get "free" refrigeration. (e.g., a paper plant that uses a lot of steam can use absorption chillers to make use of waste heat.) If fuel is much cheaper than electricity, it can be economically viable. Peak shaving can save lots of money. etc. But it's probably not competitive purely in terms of energy efficiency or GHG emissions.
The proximal cause of Gazans' poverty is Israeli oppression. The fact that this oppression comes in retaliation for old wars doesn't change the fact that it's not Jordan or Syria or Qatar not allowing anything in and out of Gaza.

> The data says they were obese before they started the war, giving the lie to the open air prison fallacy.

You brought that up in the context of the starvation to which Israel is currently subjecting them. Neither I, nor others, claimed Gaza was starving before the current genocide. The fact that it's an open air prison is related to the way Israel, and to some extent Egypt, are controlling access into and out of Gaza, not to obesity.

> It proves your claims about an open air prison are false. No reasonable person would describe that as a prison.

And yet every UN rapporteur that has investigated has reached the same conclusion. Almost as if they know some reality that you don't.

> You didn’t write that Egypt is oppressing gaza.

Yes, Egypt is also oppressing Gaza. That's what complicit means.

> You also didn’t take back your spurious claim that it was racist (?) to point out that Gazans hate Jews as evidenced by their overwhelming support for the massacre.

You are the one who claimed two million+ people are each and every one antisemitic. And also the one who seems not to know what it's called when you smear a whole ethnic/cultural group like this.

Show HN: CaptureFlow – LLM codegen/bugfix powered by live application context
Hi Hacker News,

As a dev extensively using GPT-4 for coding, I've realized its effectiveness significantly increases with richer context (e.g., code samples, execution state - props to DevinAI for famously console.logging itself).

This inspired me to push the idea further and create CaptureFlow. This tool equips your coding LLM with a debugger-level view into your Python apps, via a simple one-line decorator.

Such detailed tracing improves LLM coding capabilities and opens new use cases, such as auto-bug fix and test case generation. CaptureFlow-py offers an extensible end-to-end pipeline for refactoring your code with production data samples and detailed implementation insights.

As a proof of concept, we've implemented an auto-exception fixing feature, which automatically submits fixes via a GitHub bot.

Gretel: Synthetic Text to SQL Dataset
These people can’t just lay low for even a few days. It’s been one reminder after another that for some almost certainly bad reason, OpenAI wants everyone to remember that some of the most scandalous revelations with a mountain of even more damning and extremely credible allegations hot on their heels is a new record for SV insanity, at least since the early 90s that I’ve been watching.

The CEO was (up to a credible consensus of primary sources) fired for self-dealing in borderline criminal fraud-level ways. I’m not aware of anyone disputing this with any vigor. Then that CEO was fired again for more vague but thematically consistent allegations of flagrantly profiteering off an ostensible charity actively lobbying for de-facto regulator status. Then that CEO made a token concession by disposing of yet another in this cavalcade of personal financial gain presented as urgent imperative.

And the most moderating influence is a guy who has been run out of everything from politics to finance to prestigious academic posts over scandal after scandal in print for 35 years running, and has yet to issue an apology I’m aware of.

But the really high thread-count noose is that Opus is mopping the floor with GPT-4-1106 and 0125, on money that would fall out of Nadella’s couch cushions. And it’s dramatically operator-aligned.

You can’t be a society-scale criminal, keep it up for over a decade, and get lapped by vastly less-resourced competitors in the Valley. You shouldn’t be able to do any of that and still wield any power.

> that the typical person is dumb

The typical person is typical, and from the perspective of an atypically smart person that's dumb(er). I'm not saying I am such a person, only that they inevitably exist.

> is that the typical person receives a poor education

Uneducated, unsophisticated, and dumb are interchangeable for the purposes of this argument. People should navigate the world on their own merits, not have the state intervene on their behalf. That's the point of a free market and society.

Whether or not you're of "above average intelligence", if you use your credit card like a bank account, you deserve every bit of "wealth transfer" to people who know better that entails.

Understanding the difference between borrowing and earning doesn't require any sophisticated mathematics. Neither does understanding compounding interest payments. The only skill required is basic arithmetic. I don't see why folks feel the need to defend plainly bad decisions made by others, or advocate that they be protected from the full extent of their obvious consequences.

No, this very much does help protect against JIT exploits.

JIT code contains code that accesses the data structures they are sandboxing. By sandboxing those objects, the JIT code is limited in what it can do.

This might help you understand: An example the article gives is if an optimization pass has a bug that forgets a check. Then it may emit JIT code that will access a data structure that it should not. But, thanks to this sandboxing, that object cannot be outside the sandbox, nor refer to anything outside the sandbox, so a JIT exploit is limited in what it can achieve.

excerpt:

the CSU team is calling for 23 named storms, 11 hurricanes, five major hurricanes, and an Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) of 210 (171% of average).

In comparison, the long-term averages for the period 1991-2020 were 14.4 named storms, 7.2 hurricanes, 3.2 major hurricanes, and an ACE of 123.

The forecast is the most aggressive one ever issued in the 30 years that the CSU team has been issuing April forecasts.
I don't see any proposal put forth. I see a study that is observing human behavior.

The behavior being observed is merchants increasing their prices for all consumers to accommodate a subset of consumers who use reward cards, where reward cards end up being a form of income for their holders.

The distribution of consumers who gain the most income from reward cards are those who are more wealthy. The distribution of consumers who lose the most money as a consequence of having to pay higher prices due to said reward cards are the less wealthy. The end result is a transfer of wealth from those less wealthy to those more wealthy.

That is an observation, not a proposal or a judgement. You are welcome to make a judgement or put forth a proposal from that observation but the study itself did not do so.
That's a valid use case. Your users operate in their own diverse environments and you explicitly want to support them where they are.
>I read the ruling and found its conclusion reasonable, thus the court insofar as this case is reasonable. If you or anyone else thinks the court is unreasonable with their ruling here, please read the ruling and make your case like I have. What part is "wild" and "twisted"?

As I have several times pointed out to you, the thread you responded to wasn't discussing the reasonability of this ruling, but the reasonability of the 5th Circuit in general, to which it has also been pointed out to you, has had a number of its more extreme decisions overruled by the current supreme court.

>What part of "I read the ruling and found it reasonable." do you not understand? What part of "I find shooting the messenger unreasonable." do you not understand? What part of "Denying the judiciary just because you don't like them is an attack on rule of law." do you not understand?

There's no part of that which I don't understand, and it's an odd response to insist I'm not understanding your posts, which I very clearly do and have repeatedly pointed out as pertaining to a different issue than what was being discussed, by asking if I understood that you think the court is reasonable. Yes, we get that you think the court is reasonable here. Try reading my posts again. Or, don't. Either way, no need to be angry.

> It feels like ULG's book is more about people/political theory/social commentary/human condition than any scientifically intriguing theory.

Agreed that on the spectrum of politics/society to scientific theory/gizmo, Le Guin leans heavily towards politics/society.

Whether that is one's cup of tea is a different matter. It sometimes is for me, and sometimes not; depends on the mood. For an author who was also into societal issues, I prefer James Tiptree Jr (Alice Sheldon), because she injected more of the alienness/weirdness I tend to seek when reading scifi.

I do like Ursula, don't get me wrong! I'm just not always in the mood for reading her, while I'm almost always in the mood to read more James Tiptree Jr!

(On that note, I just realized back in 2019 they renamed the "James Tiptree Jr Award" to "Otherwise", for disappointing reasons. Oh, well)
