This just concatenates the lists, in Tcl (or CL's loop), you can iterate on multiple lists in parallel. Like Python's zip, but cleaner since you don't need said zip.
That's what reactionaries have used in their continuing war to deligitimize everyone and everything left of center. But nobody has demonstrated a reliably cost-effective way to run nuclear power plants, and renewables are the future.

Yep. There's a big outage in Atlanta at present according to Georgia Power: https://outagemap.georgiapower.com

Edit: The GP site says it's caused by a "tree" and will take 2 hours to fix. Did GP not think of geomagnetic storm as a cause option in their UI or are the reporters wrong? ;@) (Unfortunately, GP's outage map is an SPA that doesn't create shareable links.)
This is one of many ways the Russian claim to be the "Third Rome" is and was bullshit. The Eastern Roman Empire ended in 1453 with the fall of Constantinople, and it was the last polity with a credible claim to the continuation of the Roman Empire of old.

Not coastline, but the Lake Anna facility in central VA uses lake water for cooling. It's a two-loop system - internal loop touches the radioactive bits, which is pumped to heat exchangers, and an external loop ingests cool lake water and dumps warmer water back into the lake.

The "warm" side of the lake has more valuable housing because the lake remains usable for a longer period of time each season. There's a series of dams that keep the smaller warm section separate from the natural cold side.

Show HN: AI Runner – my personal opensource, local, multi-modal, AI assistant
AI Runner is an application I have been working on for well over a year. I am the only developer on the project. I currently do not have a job so I have treated this as my full-time job. 3.0 is not yet ready for release, but I wanted to show you some of the cool things I've done with it (see video in link or check out my youtube page for past progress updates https://www.youtube.com/@capsizegames4331).

AI Runner is a privacy-forward, multi-modal offline AI application built with Pyside6, huggingface libraries, llamaindex and open source models. It allows for real-time text to speech conversations with chatbot agents that you can fully customize. The bots have personalities and "moods". The moods shift with the conversation. I am using custom agents and my own system for selecting actions which is very fast.

The application also allows you to generate images using Stable Diffusion and controlnet (previous versions allowed Kandinsky), LLM for chatbots and RAG retrieval using Mistral 7b and T5, multi-lingual text-to-speech using speech-t5, bark and espeak.

The whole thing can run on a single 2080s video card, or you can split it between multiple GPUs by assigning models to available cards. For example, I have a 2080s which I use for Stable Diffusion, and a 3060 that I use for the other models.

I've built in lots of features such as drawing tools, RAG for documents and websites, image generation with the LLM or custom prompts and more. I post about it often on my Twitter acount (https://twitter.com/xw4ffl35x).

In addition to being a stand-alone application, the goal is to make it usable as an engine to power other applications. For example I plan to use it to power an RPG I am developing in Pygame.

The application is pure python and can be compiled with pyinstaller using the installation scripts included in the main repo (https://github.com/capsize-games/airunner).

I am currently working on v3.0.0 which is under heavy development and is not stable. The last stable version came out over 8 months ago and was version 2.2 (you can find it tagged on github).

This new version is a complete refactor and uses proper threading, has enhanced privacy and security features (the app is not able to access the internet and complete works around any security holes in the huggingface libraries by preventing them from accessing the internet or creating a .cache folder - there's more information about this in the README).

---

I believe it is crucially important to have open source options when it comes to AI. I do not want to live in a world that is dominated by OpenAI. I want free, open source models and the ability to run them locally, offline for free.

I like the idea of challenging uber goals, that progress in a series, but each with a deep tree of alternate subgoals/solutions.

Subgoals that are resource, constraint defined, could make very flexible solutions. For instance, if you need help with some subgoal, it is going to play out very different depending on what NPCs you have established credibility with before, and their skills and dynamics.

If you need money, then how you get that money is also going to depend on your history, knowledge of a city, previous connections, etc.

That could provide an overall story arc, but with a very open world and fully functional NPC experience.

So: organized series and trees of goals. Open ended solutions.

But even that isn’t ALWAYS the case. There are times when it is appropriate to have numbers inline, as long as they’re not repeated.

This is where good judgement comes in, which is difficult to encode rules for.
"Which would be at odds with sending data up to the cloud for processing"

I don't think there is enough information here for that to be a true claim - it is possible to send the input used for inference, to the cloud, while computing the result locally. It is also possible to store the input used for inference while offline, and send that later when the device is online.
I’m probably an asshole for thinking this, but we have gone soft.
The "end of the world" could be a local phenomenon. I like my headcanon that in Mad Max it's just Australia that's fucked, the rest of the world is fine.

If there are functional societies elsewhere in the world, then help in the form of food could be on its way. The question is, will it be distributed efficiently to the people who need it? Something like Food Not Bombs could respond quite effectively to such a situation.
AFAICT people are not so much upset about objects of value being destroyed as they are about the symbolism of creative tools being crushed flat and turned into an iPad. For artists and similar creatives, it evokes the way AI companies have already stolen their intellectual property, and their promise to make them all but obsolete in the future.
Well, it was, but that's probably more because that's what seemed like the reasonable way to do it at the time.

The global demographic transition is one of a short list of phenomena which genuinely give me hope that the ecological problems humanity faces might not be intractable; it's a great example of people choosing to do the sensible thing with no need for coordination or coercion.

It's weird to watch someone worry about this positive trend, approaching it as a serious problem to be analyzed and solved! - but I suppose that is an experience a non-conservative person often has, while watching conservative/traditionalist mindsets in action.
then again, anyone with a garden or balcony that has to be watered with a watering can can [sic] attest to how heavy a little bit of water is. If you have a small 100m² garden and it rains a modest 1mm (per m² that is) that's 1L/m² equivalent to 1kg/m² or 100kg total mass of water. When it has rained 1mm people call it "three drops of rain" and they will have to water their plants anyway. That's already 10 cans @ 10L each to lug around.

The other kind of people who know about the weight of waters are people with campers / trailers and people with fish tanks in their apartments. The maximum allowable size for a fish tank in the middle of the room is not that much.

Yeah I looked into those, but in practice it seemed easier to just get a 5lb propane tank for camping that I get refilled at the same place I fill my 20lb tanks. (Plus I'm not clear about the legality of the Flame King ones in Canada, with the result that there aren't any reputable sellers.)

>Approaching this sort of battlefield with conventional forces is not a viable idea.

It's almost certainly unstated US foreign policy on the matter, and not just a media bluff.

They might have thousands but they don't have thousands deployed. Moreover, use with any kind of frequency would just trigger a strategic US response, which would defeat the entire purpose—assuming there was purpose in the first place, which there isn't given conventional cost imposition.

Despite chill messaging, I suspect the US's strategic trigger finger is far itchier when things get real, and Russia knows this. Their triad has two arms which very possibly are entirely negated, and their C&C infra is garbage. There's a very real risk they'd just straight up die and accomplish nothing.
Just to give you a hint about how they work, slide rules are based on the geometric mean rather than the arithmetic one: halfway between A and B on a normal ruler you will find ½(A + B), on a logarithmic scale you will find √(A × B).

Due to exponent rules this makes it possible to use two logarithmic scales to compute A × B / C in the following way:

1. Line up one scale’s A with the second scale’s C.

2. Look for the second scale’s B on the first scale.

When you're multiplying, C is usually 1 or 10 (this would usually be done with scales labeled C and D) and when you're dividing B is usually 1 or 10, but sometimes your problem works out that you can just do both at once.

> What happens when I’m allowed to view a column for some entities but not others?

Column-level rules are a DB design smell, because if some people have a reason to view a table that is coherent without a column, that suggests that you've got at least two different fact shapes communicated by the table that should be normalized into separate tables.

Each of those tables then needs appropriate RLS rules. Sometimes you do a join (OUTER on one side) of these tables, so that they look like one, and this also solves the combined row/column security challenge that comes up when you have the less normalized table.

Problem is we as a society cannot bear to say to any student, no matter how true it is, that they don’t have a viable path to both fulfillment and financial success that includes “university” and <insert their passion topic>.

In fact, we go the opposite direction, telling literally every student in high school that they will be throwing their life away if they choose to work after graduation, and that vocational training is for an underclass. Only university will do, we say.

Which is why you have graduates who majored in art because they like manga, or in ethnic/gender studies because identity politics sounds exciting to a teenager. All this is actually fine if you are doing it with an understanding that it’s about becoming more cultured and learned, and that it has nothing to do with career training. But people seem to think there are white-collar jobs waiting for them because of these degrees they’re borrowing to pay for, and then they’re very shocked and have no other plan to support themselves. The millennial generation, I think, is the first to be tricked into this fate en masse, and gen-z even more so.

It’s like 2 whole generations were lied to that the full implications of the decline of manufacturing and professional retail jobs that happened 1970-1990 are “only white-collar careers will exist” rather than the more correct “skilled trades and professional services are better bets than simply looking for a factory or clerk job at 18 and working your way up.”

> “Why are they not jailed for breaking and entering?” Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on X.

On non-engineering issues, at least, Musk isn't an original thinker. He just follows the instructions of the people constructing reactionary campaigns. Deligtimizing protest (just like deligitimizing the free press, academia, and other institutions of democracy) is the latest campaign, and Musk picks up on it and of course on the rhetorical tactics (as if he's unaware that people haven't been protesting all his life and for centuries before). What original idea has he had on non-engineering issues?

Also difficult is his sudden law-and-order belief, while he violates laws and other rules openly.

Generally stuff that has a nontrivial amount of mold I'm not trying to save.

Also, most filters can filter bacteria and cysts, but can't filter out viruses. Many say viruses are not an issue in the backcountry (but I still use purifying tablets), but if you're taking water from a suburban stream during a disaster, I'd definitely want to make sure I'm not ingesting whatever viruses the guy upstream deposited when he used the stream as a toilet.

It's a big world out there. There are literally billions of possible ways that people can interpret whatever you put out in the ether, and many of them are...precious...to the extreme. Worry too much what any one of them is going to think, and you won't do anything.

You can also use the filters with alternative housings that are far cheaper if aesthetics aren’t a concern. I’ve seen people use food safe 5 gallon buckets for example. It’s much cheaper and works just as well in emergency situations. You do need to be careful about light penetration of the translucent bucket wall.

Another cool thing is that you can make (in a pinch, I wouldn’t recommend this over berkey filters) filters from the same type of bulkheads berkey uses attached to home-made ceramic filters. They work remarkably well in emergencies and are trivial to make if you’ve got clay and a hot fire. There’s definitely trial and error involved for getting perfect seals, and some advanced DIYers I’ve seen used glazing to create a more easily sealed rim which can have a plastic tube jammed into it for a friction fit, which then attaches to the inner part of the bulkhead.

Totally unnecessary if civilization is working but awesome if things go sideways and you’re out of filters. There might be better methods too, I haven’t looked into it for years.

If one is going to do that, I'd strongly recommend putting them in some kind of basin that can hold the water if it escapes from the jugs, or sturdier containers, or both.

At least in the US, water jugs are generally very flimsy. An attic is likely to have wide temperature variations throughout the year, and leaky water jugs up there could cause some expensive damage.

I agree to a degree, in that the policies are a lot to take in.

When your work poses a risk to the bottom line of another company, they have every right to be protective and implement the policies they feel will bring in more customers and money. If the store policies are too much for you to understand, that's on you for blindly adding to the risk of that company.

I'm speaking specifically from the Android side of things. People want to be on the Play Store and not FDroid or the many others because that's where the customers are, but you're free to use another store or distribute directly, which is not the case for iOS, particularly outside Europe. I do believe Apple is anti competitive in the US due to this, but it doesn't change the fact that you're your own victim for wanting to be in their store and not following the contact you agreed to. They take in the risk of hosting your app, you take on the risk and pain of dealing with their store policies.

It's no different than having a stall at a flea market, if they say you can have a stall, but have policies against selling certain items, and you sell them anyways, you can get the boot. If someone falsely accuses you of doing so and they suspend your stall while they investigate, then you come back the next week under a different name, don't be surprised about the result when they recognize you.
