The bigger factor is that he's renting, and therefore whether the jurisdiction has net metering or not doesn't matter.

But he's in San Francisco and California does not have net metering. I've been considering doing something like this as any grid-tied system is about $3/W for power, plus $500/kWh for storage. But an off-grid system done on your own is about $0.60/W plus $200/kWh for storage.
I've heard this before, but I still can't figure out where this first class medical care is hiding. For the regional medical system I'm familiar with, there are two major hospitals, each with a set of associated providers. They both take most "insurances", because they effectively have to. I'm mostly familiar with the "better" one, and my experiences there have not been good. Are they checking the class of a patient's "insurance" plan behind the scenes, and sending different doctors based on that? Do I need to travel to a major 1M+ city (somehow even during an emergency)? Or what else gives? Where are these engaged doctors, who actually give you more than a 10-20 minute slice of their time, actually hiding? Ones who don't simply pass the buck to a different place (often booking many months out), recursively? Because from what I've gathered, I suspect that most people are just not very good at judging the competence of professionals, and are absolutely unable to judge the constructive incompetence of systems.

Maybe it's because I'm in WA - a huge agricultural state. I get Draper Valley Farms whole chickens for 99c/lb on the regular. It's $2.89/lb (already a good price) when not on sale, but the sale has been happening a couple times a month like clockwork now.

The Draper Valley Farms stuff is generally cheaper than the Kroger-branded stuff, no matter the cut. Like right now, boneless thighs are 50c cheaper per lb (no sales). It's $6/lb vs $6.50/lb. Bone-in is $3.79/lb! The Kroger brand doesn't even offer that variety for some reason.

A few lbs of that + some orzo (cheap) + some staple produce (shallot, cherry tomatoes, garlic) can make you 6 very filling and delicious meals. When you compare it to fast food, the difference is staggering - definitely a divergence compared to the diff years ago. It's the convenience stuff that is truly spiking. Groceries are definitely a lower % of my income than half a decade ago.

The barrier to most people is they can't process a whole chicken.
The last time I was aggressive tailgated was on the way home from the hospital with a newborn and a wife just out of abdominal surgery.

Stop it.
Heh the $1/lb isn't a lie - you can get whole chicken for as cheap as your dried beans! Just gotta pay attention to sales.

> What's going on here is that we're adding the speak method to matz's metaclass, and the matz object inherits from its metaclass and then Object.

Ruby uses the word "metaclass" for something completely different from the familiar OOP concept that a class is itself an instance of something, and that something is a metaclass.

It looks like a Ruby metaclass is actually a hidden class that is instantiated for each object instance. An object inherits from its purported class, plus also its hidden metaclass. When you customize an object instance with a new method, it goes into that metaclass, and so other objects that are instances of the visible class are unaffected.

It seems like a pointless complication over (in the context of a single dispatch OOP) just representing methods as slots of an object. Normally, methods are class slots, but if an instance slot is used for a method, then that is specific to an object.

I had this happen with Teslas FSD about a year ago. A car missed a turn at a light because they didn't get into the turn lane early enough ... so they decided to make the turn from the "going straight" instead.

But the light changed before they made the turn and they became stuck in the middle of the intersection once they lost the protected left ...

So now they're sitting in the "going straight" lane where you wouldn't expect a stopped car. The car in front of me changes lanes without really slowing down, and the FSD prediction model didn't pick up that the stopped car was stopped. I can't really blame it, it took me half a second to figure it out as well and by that time I was hard on the brakes.
I'm not commenting on OpenBSD's security, but I think some of that goes too far:

> OpenBSD is designed as a single system with a single codebase, and has a general aversion to features such that it is difficult for an undersecured random library to become a vehicle to breaking a major, important component.

From what I understand, those security benefits aren't incidental; they are a major reason for doing those things.

> a clever contributor

Doesn't seem like it would be very hard for someone to join the team and obtain maintainer status? Also, remember the social engineering done by the xz attacker to get their exploit included in updates - that also seems a bit challenging in the OpenBSD project.

OpenBSD seems to do more careful code reviews than other projects, but I don't know that I have an objective measure of it.

My car does that too, BC 1.0.

Newer versions, 1.2 and up, are supposed to be far better. Even moving over a bit in the lane when next to a big truck. That may be 1.3.

Everyone will be getting upgraded to 1.4. We’re just waiting for the OTA update. It’s overdue, but anyone who had followed BC so far knows that’s just par for the course.

History for those unfamiliar: the Mach E was shipped before BlueCruise was ready. It took 9 months or so before there was an update available at the dealer for it.

Eventually newer cars cane with 1.2. Older cars were promised 1.2 but for various reasons it got delayed and a recall issue took priority.

Then they released 1.3 on new deliveries, and the promise became everyone gets 1.3.

That got delayed a bit and they were ahead on 1.4 so Ford decided to just move everyone to 1.4 as it was done early. But they hit problems on the rollout beta test for existing vehicles. Between that and seeming to give priority to the recent updates to work with Tesla superchargers, 1.4 missed the promised date of Q1.

It’ll come. And it’s supposed to be a very big improvement over 1.0 from those who have tested it. But Mach E owners who follow the forums know not reliable Ford software update dates are.
I had some experience writing a book that featured many images of paintings by long dead artists. The copyright issue was not the art, but the photos, which were frequently owned by a museum.

Based on the law invoked it seems the idea might be that his versions of the games essentially piggy-back off the trademarks attached to Pokemon, while effectively rendering the vanilla, unmodified cartridges such that they may be perceived to be an inferior product in comparison, despite being the original product.

This seems like a stretch even under Japanese law, since the article gives the impression that he was not selling the cartridges themselves, but merely the service of taking cartridges and modifying them. But Japanese copyright law is kinda crazy. There's a reason that Japanese Wikipedia is almost totally bereft of images.

Someone on a forum I'm on has a solar setup because they have poor grid reliability. Solar + battery + transfer switch provides them with good availability.

It's way easier to capacity plan with a fuel based generator though. My 35kW generator can go at least several days on a 500 gal propane tank, regardless of weather. Potentially indefinitely if propane delivery is available, but I lose phone service when the power is out beyond 4 hours, so I'd have to venture out to get signal to call, and if power is out for more than a few days, the weather is probably pretty bad and delivery may not be available.

With a solar + battery system, handling potential multiday outages, I'd be concerned about my winter where there's less than 9 hours of daylight and it's often mostly overcast, and I'm running my heatpumps to warm the house. But if I have solar/battery capacity to make that work, I'm going to have way too much capacity for most of the year.

Solar + battery for grid backup makes more sense in places with shorter duration outages and were peak electricity use is in the summer rather than the winter.

> An alternative POV is that language changes over time to introduce terminology that is now relevant due to some new context, shift in social dynamics, demographic changes, etc.

Yes, the term was introduced due to the need in some circles to extend the white/black dichotomy of US politics to encompass Asians and Hispanics. But that label doesn’t serve the distinct interests of Asians and Hispanics.

> I would encourage you to consider that your family's experience as immigrants is distinctly different for many reasons that significantly impact your worldview.

Of course, but that’s exactly my point. The majority of people encompassed by the label “POC” are immigrants or descendants of relatively recent immigrants (excepting native Hawaiians and Tejanos and the like). But the term “POC” is based on the experiences of ADOS and indigenous Americans. It erases a salient distinction (the common experiences shared by immigrants), and elevates a superficial distinction (non-white skin).

> But, for some, this impulse sometimes extends to a certain "fervor" to de-identify with other groups (e.g. PoCs) and their perspectives.

Of course they do. Immigrants already have a pre-existing identity based on shared culture, language, and history. Why would they identify with other people with whom they have little in common, culturally or in terms of political interests? Why would they embrace “people of color” as an identity, which denotes no cultural or historical ties, but exists in mere juxtaposition to white people?

The term “POC” also obscures a fundamental conflict in economic interests between immigrants and ADOS/indigenous people. Immigrants are all basically at various stages of the same economic assimilation curve. Guatemalan Americans are poorer than Swedish Americans, but that’s because of timing of immigration; upward mobility is similar between the two. Immigrant POC thus have a strong interest in “not fixing what isn’t broken” (for them). By contrast, economic gaps between black/indigenous people and everyone else haven’t been closing over generations. They remain as big now as in 1960. Those groups this have strong economic incentives to demand fundamental changes.

That is not to say that individual Asians and Hispanics may not favor such changes for the same reason many individual white people do. But the starting point must be recognizing that different groups are distinct and have distinct interests.
Where are your stats on 95% of zips being safe and livable? How are you defining those?
Let me restate my points succinctly:

1. OTP behaviors are OOP classes. And individual gen_* processes are instances of those classes. And those instances have proc_lib as an ancestor. So in a very literal sense, Erlang and Elixir have "classes, and instances, and ancestors."

2. But the few existing OTP behaviors are — idiomatically — literally all you get. Insofar as you're using the OTP framework, you don't get to define any of your own "classes." There's just the five that OTP comes with. And proc_lib is the only ancestor.

3. But that doesn't mean that the runtime-level potential for "first-class OOP" with all its quirks isn't there; especially in Elixir. Just because nobody has bothered to exploit it, doesn't mean that doing so wouldn't be possible. And, more oddly — just because the features go mostly unused, doesn't mean that it'd be possible to refactor the Erlang runtime to in any way remove those capabilities. They're inherent to the design of both Erlang and Elixir — even if it's only those six little "classes" that make use of them.

Which directly addresses your point:

> I don't use any of that stuff now and I write pretty much the same software I did back then.

You do still use "that stuff" (under other names, in a very formalized and circumscribed capacity.) A language that truly prevented you from doing any kind of OOP, no matter how under-the-covers, really wouldn't let you write the same sort of software!

Even before AI tools started becoming available, some provider organizations hired human medical scribes (documentation assistants) to do EHR data entry so that highly paid physicians could focus on patient care.

AI can partially automate the scribe jobs to deliver a minor productivity boost or cost savings. But the near-term prospects for using AI to automate care delivery look pretty dim.

This piece left me with three thoughts:

1. Had circumstances been even sightly different, Grant would have been considered a failure, perhaps even by himself.

2. It took a certain amount of mentorship to get Grant going as a noteworthy writer. I wonder if so it came that Mark Twain was the only figure Grant could receive mentorship from.

3. The article describes how for a brief period after a horrible war, there was a demand for politicians acting genuinely and in good faith. I wonder if there's any way to reach this state sustainably.
I strongly believe that there are only two true rules when it comes to presentations: (1) know who your audience is, and (2) tell something that the audience will find useful. Not eloquent, cute, clever, or impressive; but useful (to them).

All these theories, rules, and advice about giving presentations are just useless fads that are often impractical and unnatural for most people.

People often confuse an eloquent and natural speaker with having a "good" presentation. I have been to many talks (Tufte, for example) where the presenter talks smoothly for an hour, yet in the end does not say anything useful to me. Your are entertained, in a sense, but you don't actually learn anything.

To many presenters, the presentation is actually about themselves rather then giving something truly useful to the audience. A lot of people can talk well, but I rather have somebody that can teach me something, even if the delivery is not perfect.
The haphazard cabling and use of potentially subpar cables to deliver power is a fire waiting to happen.

Isn’t this a sign that you are following too closely? A driver should typically be able stop a car length per 10mph. So if you are traveling at 40mph you would need about 4 car lengths to react and stop. Ergo if you are following closer than that you may not stop in time. Just because you are using cruise control doesn’t absolve you of this requirement. My car allows me to set a cruise control gap in seconds which translates to reaction time. 2 seconds is the lowest gap mode and usually leaves me with half the distance necessary for a safe stop (although the car has aggressive brakes and can quickly slowdown at the expense of passenger comfort). Due to this I leave the gap mode at 6 seconds which is larger than I would like but would (and has) allow me to slow down in time for a stopped object in the road.

I apologize for any flame wars this creates, since people find driving to be deeply personal and any findings which may criticize their driving habits is generally frowned upon.
