From the info I've seen Europe in general compared to the USA is more hilly and more densely packed. So trucks need to be more compact and more powerful (more torquey?). US is more open so flatter and truck length is not an issue. Maybe the reason for auto vs manual in Euro truck, you'd be constantly shifting 18 gears. As for heavier loads allowed? Not sure.
Me too. Don't name your thing with diacritics most people don't know how to make on a keyboard.

I have no doubt that the German public is full of true believers. That does not exclude Soviet/Russian influence. I don’t have any solid evidence but the Soviets/Russians had several motives, means and opportunities to spread anti-nuclear influence.

Not only would a (West) Germany with abundant cheap nuclear power have energy to compete industrially, they would have the ability to enrich plutonium which might lead to the development of a home-grown nuclear strike capacity within a short range from Moscow. That is, assuming such an idea was politically possible.

All energy is fungible. Certainly the cost of switching is not free, but the time to begin doing that was decades ago.
For covid in particular (and also the Spanish Flu, to a large extent), number of deaths is the big factor; deaths are _dramatically_ down in most countries. Barring a perfect vaccine, it's likely never going away entirely, but it's also generally not threatening to collapse healthcare systems anymore.

It’s not a fundamental difference, it’s a fundamental constraint.

There are circumstances - and in real life those circumstances are very common - where you must accept that getting an exactly correct answer is not realistic. Yet nonetheless you want to ‘count’ things anyway.

We still call procedures for counting things under those circumstances ‘counting’.

The constraints on this problem (insufficient memory to remember all the unique items you encounter) are one such situation where even computerized counting isn’t going to be exact.

Haha, exactly. "We did".
I'm definitely not making any claims sbout VCs not investing enough in climate change. I guess the point I was trying to make was that progress on some issues for society needs more than chasing revenue.

I probably shouldn't have used climate change since it's often a controversial issue, but to keep down that path- Public transport would really help climate change but VC likely to invest in that heavily because return wise it isn't comparable to things like selling electric cars.

Again, I'm not saying that as a criticism of VC specifically, but more making the point that the way our society rewards talent or ideas isn't an exact match with what benefits society the most.
Not sure if your attempted insult is simply poor or I'm talking to ChatGPT.

It's a business strategy, they make everything non-Apple worse to use on purpose so that you are kept within their ecosystem.

Honestly loved this. I've got ADHD as well and can really relate to wishing that I wasn't a "dancer" throughout my childhood and hating the fact that I felt different. Some people just ARE dancers, and that's a good thing.
I would suggest the C API is just as much a part of Python as the standard library, and numpy (and swig) predates Unladen Swallow (see e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2328267/unladen-swallow-... for people trying to get them to work together).

I don't think it's surprising that micropython/circuitpython have had more success, in many ways they are a port to an environment where the existing libraries wouldn't be used, so they can at some level build their own ecosystem.
Egypt's deserts are about the perfect climate for preserving wood. However the area near water is not desert and so not perfect. Boats would be moved, but the piers (such as they were in those days, I doubt we are talking a modern shipyard structure) would remain in the water, and in general when a river moves the area remains a swamp long enough for any wood to rot.

The type of wood used maters, some wood rots much faster than others. Boats would have been made from rot resistant wood since they are in the water. I wouldn't be surprised if they used any old wood for the piers since the water course and floods mean the piers need to be rebuilt every year anyway - but this is pure speculation.
Methane appears convenient at first glance, yes. Can be burnt in regular turbines, stoves, even some cars.

But is it really the overall best way to store hydrogen?

Methane has a rather high climate impact, compared to CO2. So if you're taking CO2 to synthesize methane from hydrogen, any leakage afterwards is much worse than leaking CO2.

Why not use salt caverns (which are used to store natural gas and AFAIK can also store hydrogen directly) for seasonal storage at relatively low pressure?

And if you're going to synthesize some other molecule from H2, why not make ammonia instead?

There's already an ammonia powered FCEV semi (amogy.co).

> .., you are going to have a bad time competing with battery storage.

According to what I read here and there, battery storage won't be able to compete with chemical storage for the seasonal aspect, unless it becomes another order of magnitude cheaper or even more.
Also, for seasonal storage over months, batteries don't really make sense due to loss through discharge, right?
I think they mean that the content is less accessible, as in having less mass appeal
It goes further. Not only it doesn't matter what most will do with tech, tech itself doesn't matter, even in the worst hands.

Tech is irrelevant.

The problem is the combination of the people who want to abuse others, and the vast majority who allow it.

Or maybe better, the people who are willing to manipulate others, and the majority who are manipulable.

That problem exists regardless of tech and isn't created or even amplified by tech.

I say it's not even amplified by tech because techs power amplifying nature works for everyone. Every power tech gives to some asshole, it also gives to you and me to get around the asshole.

The only thing we can't get around is the complacency of everyone else who allows Amazon and WalMart to erase all the other shops. A douchebag figures out a button to press, like convenience and price, and most people happily just respond to that button without thought or resistance. And once enough of them do, the environment changes and no one else has any choice but to exist in the new worse environment.

The problem of most people not being skeptical and pessimistic and assuming the worst and rejecting shiny offers and propositions and ideas by default, resulting in them all being taken advantaged of and resulting in terrible systems that you and I have to live in, has always been, since there was no tech beyond mere language.
In the UK at least, they mostly do. You park up, plug the car in, tap your contactless card and that starts the charge. Once the charge completes (or you unplug the car), the charger works out how much electricity you used and your card gets charged accordingly. In my experience there aren't too many charging points that don't accept contactless payments in this way.

Sometimes having memberships, RFID cards or apps for the different charging networks unlocks cheaper rates though, so contactless payments don't always end up being the most economical in the long run and that can make it harder to compare charging providers, hence why things like Zap-Map and Electroverse were born.
At this point, there have been known reports pointing out specific issues going back decades. (They're still failing to address them) It's some political / industrial playground, where people can both build massive solar farms and praise American oil. Just weird incentives all around.
I browse newest regularly. But reading all articles is too time-consuming.

So what to vote on? Something's got to catch attention. Like a descriptive title (vs. obfuscated clickbait) on subjects that interest me. Or link from a blog/site I came across before, and liked.

So yes, beside subject the messenger matters. And there's a good dose of randomness involved. That's not a (very) bad thing, imho.

I have a "car subscription" in Germany, which is kinda like a rental car but for longer periods (mine is 1 year). The subscription covers the cost of registration/taxes/maintenance/insurance and I cover fuel and parking. 580€ a month for a mid-range SUV, or 20€ a day.
That just says that this is also simpler and more accessible algorithm, suitable even for undegraduate textbooks.

Not that this is just useful for textbooks, a mere academic toy example, which would be something else entirely.

This is both accessible AND efficient.

That’s not the claim that was made. That code can not be evaluated to produce that value by any rules of the language. It can only be evaluated to produce that result by a repl which is parsing it as statements and then evaluating the most recent statement, in a non-standard way, but in the language itself two consecutive statements do not have a defined evaluation, and in any context where it is being evaluated it would gramatically need to be parsed as a single expression instead.

If that’s not correct you can provide a counter example

Even if most didn't live in caves, if enough of them spent enough time there they would surely end up painting something. And caves are good places for paintings to survive.

I'm not even sure one could separate religious and non-religious purposes. I think there was much less of a distinction. Even in ancient Rome, the gods were involved in many everyday activities, it would surely have been even more so in the Stone Age

A ~6TB M2 SSD upgrade on a laptop is anything BUT cheap, even external ones. That's why these HDDs exist: For the data hoarders on a budget who also need some portability instead of leaving everything at home on a NAS.

You keep your existing 512/1024 SSD in your laptop for the "hot data" (OS, apps, frequently used work files), and get a 2.5 HDD for all the "warm/cold data" (steam library, photos, Nextcloud, backups, movies, etc). Storing all that type of data inside the laptop's SSD is kind of a waste of money at current SSD prices unless of course an 8TB NVME is not a huge expense for you, then by all means, but not everyone has that kind of cash lying around, hence why these 6TB 2.5 HDDs come in handy.

A lot of this ham-fisted approach to shoving AI into everything reminds me of other trends that corps were desperately pushing 5 years ago: "voice is the new UI" from Amazon and Google, and "pivot to video" from Facebook.

It wasn't for the benefit of consumers, it was to create a segment they felt they could dominate.
100 Mbps Ethernet over barbed wire was demonstrated back in 1995. [0]

Having the colon touching the type definition always made more sense to me

So instead of this:

func foo(x: int, y: int): int {
var sum: int = x + y
return sum
}

You’d have this instead:

func foo(x :int, y :int) :int {
var sum :int = x + y
return sum
}
It just looks busier without any benefit to me.

While there are definately parallels with bigfoot sightings here, I can personally vouch for how rare cat sightings are.

I have spent a lot of my life in deep wildernes, and the only time I saw a big cat in the wild was when I was a kid (aprox 14yo), up in mid- British Columbia (Canada), literally a hundred miles from any town.

I was alone, waiting at our truck while the family was checking if a side-road was traversable. (My dad was a big wilderness fisher). maybe half a kilometer down the "main" (dirt) road, I saw a huge cat casually walk across the road, into the forest on the other side.

It looked completely black, but likely because the side facing me was in shade. Cougars are the only big cat native to the area.

Of course my dad dismissed my account as daydreaming.

I have seen bear, bobcat, and even Coyotee in the wild. Not wolf though.
Baffling version of history that somehow ignores the constitutional dimension. It's also a back-assward interpretation of how contemporary environmental law came into being. It's like a guy typing with one hand while pointing at the heffalumps for causing the wet streets that made it rain with the other hand.

There is just no real analysis here of law, policy, or society. It's just a pile of uncited errata. I'm somewhat sympathetic to some of his conclusions, but there is no reasoning process here.
"Passenger trains weigh nothing."

A bit more than that. And old freight trains are loud, even when empty.

Another example, there is a small local passenger train with a combustion engine. Very loud, whether slow or fast. Unlike the mentioned modern electric one from Alstom, who are so silent, that they are dangerous when they pass by a train station and you are too close to the track. You only notice them moments before they wooosh by.

And if you want more than my anecdota of everyday experience, there are tons of youtube videos of different trains to see that trains can be loud, if that was not a manufacturing concern, or silent. Usually, the older the louder.

Oh that's cool! Interested to see where your research leads. Could you drop me a link to where the interaction net → cuda compiler resides? I skimmed through the HVM2 repo and just read the .cu runtime file.

Edit: nvm, I read through the rest of the codebase. I see that HVM compiles the inet to a large static term and then links against the runtime.

https://github.com/HigherOrderCO/HVM/blob/5de3e7ed8f1fcee6f2...

Will have to play around with this and look at the generated assembly, see how much of the runtime a modern c/cu compiler can inline.

Btw, nice code, very compact and clean, well-organized easy to read. Rooting for you!

From the paper [0]:

> We state the following well-known concentration bound, Chernoff bound, for completeness.

Which variant of the Chernoff bound is this? This is almost the (looser variant of the) multiplicative form, but it's not quite right (per the use of 1+delta instead of a single parameter beta). In particular, that bound is only guaranteed to hold for delta >= 0 (not beta = 1 + delta > 0 as asserted in the paper)

[0] https://arxiv.org/pdf/2301.10191

edit: to be clear: I'm not sure at all whether this breaks the proof of correctness, although I'm having a bit of difficulty following the actual details (I think I'd need to work through the intermediate steps on paper).
