i don't see the problem in the foster system itself (yes the system may have issues, but that's another topic)

the problem is that fostering in most cases is the wrong way to help those children. instead the parents need help. but that help needs to be provided in a way such that parents and children can stay together.

but that is not what is done. instead the children are taken away and the parents are left to themselves: go fix your problems, and then you can have your children back.

pretty much the only cases where fostering is the right choice is where children are in actual danger or the parents need to go to prison for serious crimes.

Rene herse has been doing those tests since 2006 "back when go-fast tires were 23mm." They covered a lot of variety and their conclusion is the aerial drag is tiny and real world conditions are more important than the idealized condition of tests on a steel drum.

The tests in the reference were done with a 21mm inner rim width. I believe that is neither super wide nor narrow. Arguably a good test bed rim to isolate the difference in tire.

Though, wide rim equates to a wide tire I do not think is true (at least, unsupported). The deep dish rims are only aero if the width is close to that of the tire. Reducing the ratio of tire width to rim width is aero! If anything, a wider deep rim on a skinny tire is increasing are dynamics. The aero dynamics of a wheel is not just a function of the tire alone. A deeper dish of more equal width to the tire helps that teardrop shape you want for aerodynamics.

My knowledge of tire/rim ratio comes from conversations primarily. References for that ratio being important are not hard to come by, eg: https://silca.cc/blogs/silca/part-5-tire-pressure-and-aerody...

The reference does go into some more detail why wide rim is desirable to reduce drag. I won't paraphrase further here other than to conclude a wider rim would actually be favorable for the skinny tire.Regardless, a middle of the road rim width was used in that data sample.

Well, I lived through that personally. There was a court hearing where they appointed a legal representative (an attorney) and a public defender, and then they argued about it for several hours during multiple hearings. The representative was checking on me, my conditions at the hospital and my treatment frequently and reported it to the court. As soon as they all deemed me to be back in my own head, they gave me my rights back.

I hated that they took my agency back then, but looking back it was fair and all of the people involved tried their best to represent my interests, and I'm grateful they did it.

Usage-based pricing models require you to prove/measure the real usage, which may be really hard and possibly extra work.

However, I personally prefer approaches, where not every request gets charged but instead having "packages" with a discount on every step, e.g.:

- 2000 Requests -> 2$
- 10000 Requests -> 8$
- 100000 Requests -> 15$
- unlimited Requests -> 69$

This way I also have a max. amount that won't ruin me, even if something goes wrong.
But by that logic we should let a 20 year old kid start as asbestos mine with hand tools next to a drinking water source, or let them operate heavy machinery on a highway with no training of any kind.

Clearly, just because doing <something> is a path to making money, it absolutely does not mean we should automatically reduce all barriers and allow it to happen.

"More jobs" should absolutely NOT be the goal, and anyone that says it is clearly hasn't thought to hard about it.

Quality jobs are clearly much, much more important.

Disclosure: I work for GM, this is solely my own opinion

---

This article doesn't mention it, but the other problem Hertz has is that Tesla has lowered the price of their vehicles. This is great news for new buyers, not so much for people who want to trade or sell their vehicles. Incidentally, this is why other OEMs offer cash-back or other limited time or limited scope offers - they can have less effect on trade-in values.

---

Incidentally, this cycle of downward pressure on new vehicle price is a partial cause of GM's decline. GM had a goal to remain the #1 North American automaker by sales volume - to do this they sold a lot of cars to rental fleets - those rental cars come back on the market after about 1 year at a discount and compete with new car sales and put downward pressure on price.

Again, if you are a consumer looking for a low price, this is nice; if you are looking to run a company that can invest in product engineering, not so much.

Ah - the author does call out that Rust can’t do local reasoning perfectly. The other place it comes up aside from the Sync example I describe is RefCell which similarly lets you mutate from behind a shared reference thus also violating local reasoning. The author also describes why Rust deviated here (the niche Rust was moving into with systems programming often needs an escape hatch for some small amount of non-local mutability)

I only mentioned Coq vs TLA+ because I've read your blog and I know you have strong taste preferences between those two.

That's because, unlike you, I actually try and understand people I don't agree with and see where they come from and under what perspective their views are indeed interesting, and that's how you learn how to understand complex
(not difficult) topics.

But that, my friend, requires that you don't immediately consider yourself superior to your interlocutor and first consider them like peers who have different perspective on things because they have a different background. That's the inevitable conditions for improvement.

Thinking about other as mere peasants is probably more intellectually comfortable, but it's also far less constructive. Needless to say, it's also not a great way to earn respect.
I'm glad Linux teams aren't spending a bunch of time/money on marketing. I'd much rather that go into the software. Anyone can search the internet for "alternatives to Windows" (hopefully even if using Bing) and find all the info they need.
USB is directional protocol so there is always host and devices. USB-C lets devices negotiate the direction for power and data separately. This means that if they were doing USB media, one device has the files and the other can access them.

There used to be cables with USB connectors on both ends and dongle in middle, that did Ethernet between devices. That would be possible to do with USB-C, effectively two USB-C Ethernet adapters connected together. I had never thought to use two USB-C Ethernet adapters with short Ethernet cable, I bet you hadn't thought of it either.

The problem is that this isn't needed very much. Computers are almost always connected to local network, or can make Wifi Direct network if needed. There are programs for making local file sharing but they aren't common enough to rely on them.

It would be nice to have Ethernet over USB without needing adapter and using the high speeds of USB3 and USB4.
A huge percentage (most?) emojis are unhelpful precisely because their meanings are unclear. If they're from someone I've interacted with enough then I learn how to decipher what they mean by different ones, but if I've not then it's too risky to try and guess.

This aspect of emojis is why I dislike them.
I have tried to use Wolfram Alpha inside of ChatGPT, but that didn't get me very far. It seems like I would need to understand a lot more math to be able to do anything useful with Wolfram Alpha, and perhaps it would be better to run it stand alone not as a plugin.
I mean, I made the choice to join because I saw it as a good option. But even so, was an unusually risky tradeoff between an effectively low basic for a higher bet at the return. I also certainly think it's understandable that LPs want it that way. Main point is that it's only lucrative if the fund pays out on carry, and you take a high risk for something which might possibly pay out ten years in the future. If it doesn't pay out, you've worked years at a not very high (for tech) salary.

Prices were always high in the US, before and after that merger. I think part of it is due to the low intelligence of an average US consumer, who wants to have his iphone "for free" with the contract, and is unable to calculate the real price he is paying.

In my case there's no "translator team" as such. It's a mix of volunteers, part-time paid translators, colleagues etc. I've never had a translator team, it's always various ad-hoc situations and networks of people. And I don't want to write and maintain conversion software and such workflows.
But that article reports the same numbers as currently on the UN site: "7,797 children (32%), and 4,959 women (20%.)" That's most of the fatalities.
Not sure how it is today, but when I bought my first home in 1996, I needed to come up with 20% down in order to avoid wasting my money on PMI. PMI only benefits the lender, and the cost cannot be deducted as part of your mortgage interest tax credit. So if the same requirement still exists today, you can get a $150k house with 20% down for your $30k. Depending upon where you live and what you want, this may or may not be a realistic plan.

I'm starting to consider creating different accounts / profiles for my different interests. The problem that I have with YouTube is that it can't know what I'm in the mood for at any given moment and it thinks that if I click on one single video about a sensitive topic that suddenly I want my entire home page to be overrun with recommendations about that.

To give a specific example, something that honestly kind of baffles and bothers me is the amount of firearms related videos in my recommendations despite the fact that I never watch them, I don't own any firearms and I keep clicking "Don't Recommend Channel" and they never seem to go away. It has to be because the topic is tangentially related somehow to something I've watched, or maybe people who are into firearms overlap with some of the content I watch. But it's the volume and the non-responsiveness to my feedback that annoys me.

Another example: my wife and I enjoy watching the Eurovision Song Contest every year. So naturally we've watched a lot of that content in the days and weeks leading up to it. Obviously the algorithm is going to recommend content related to Eurovision, but my home page is completely flooded with these recommendations to the seeming exclusion of most other stuff that I want to watch. And I keep clicking "Don't Recommend Channel" on the various "reaction" videos that are just feeder content featuring people reacting to the songs and performances ... because I CAN'T STAND reaction videos in general and NEVER watch them. But they keep appearing in the recommendations nonetheless.

Recommendation algorithms are a hard problem to solve, for sure. I'm not trying to be unfair to YouTube because I know these recommendations are somehow related to what I do watch. I just know that it feels like 90% of those recommendations miss the mark regardless. YouTube is starting to feel like cable TV these days ("200 channels and nothing to watch") where my wife and I often find ourselves just doom scrolling and refreshing the home page (we watch on our TV) hoping that something we're interested in watching at that moment will appear. Often times nothing does and we go do something else.

Your criticism of this channel may be on point - I haven't watched it. But please don't make the mistake of equivocating scientific hypotheses, theories well supported by evidence and crank pseudoscience created for a mass audience. Hancock hasn't been excluded from the 'mainstream' archeological debate. He never participated in it in the first place. He's a writer of retrofuturological science fantasy in the same vein (and citing much the same evidence) as his predecessor Erich von Däniken. This stuff can be hugely entertaining (I'm a science fiction fan and grew up on 'face on mars', 'chariots of the Gods etc'). But its epistemic are based on just so stories and shifting goal posts, not triangulating the dating of sites, engaging in archeological digs or weighing in on scientific arguments about methodology.

Liberty. And this gives you an answer why terminals, shells and cli in general remain this way. People have the liberty to do what they need, and they have the liberty to go as simple or complex as they want. And this works very well. Don't forget that not all output is structured.

So unless you have someone creating a whole new set of tools and environment which can compete with the established solutions, and beat them on ALL aspects, and is still compatible...until then people will not support it. I mean, there are more than enough alternatives who are barely popular for one reason or another. Speaks for itself.

They're simultaneously both overhyped and underhyped because people aren't really thinking about them the right way, or using them the right way. They want to use it as an oracle where they ask a straightforward question, and get a straightforward correct answer. In reality they're more of a simulator- you describe a scenario with your prompt, and they play it out for you the way it would likely occur in real life. To accurately predict text as they are trained to do, they have to simulate the scenario generating the text, not provide the most correct and simple completion to the text.

This is why you can ask it a simple physics question for example, and the default might be to give a wrong answer based on a popular misconception. But tell it that it should answer as Richard Feynman, and it can give the correct answer. It "knows" that the first answer was incorrect, but it's still a more appropriate/likely answer given the default scenario, where it effectively assumes it is supposed to act as a random internet stranger when it answers.
