Yeah, this is why I’m not too worried about the energy storage side of going 100% renewable energy in a scenario where we also decarbonise completely.

Storing energy as heat is dead simple, cheap, can let you store huge amounts of energy, and you can store for fairly long timespans.

It doesn’t matter that you can’t feed power back to the grid (well, maybe you can.. you can convert the light given off the heated block with photovoltaics.. but that won’t be a huge factor). If we decarbonise industrial heat it will create enough demand for renewables that the minimum output of renewables (over a larger area, I think it’s fair to assume some grid improvements over the next years) will be more than enough to cover base load needs. We will probably have quite a lot of batteries for frequency regulation and smoothing out the duck curve. Some of that will also help with dunkelflaute. But mainly there will just be so much renewables that the output never goes below what is needed on a given day.

There’s so many aspects of decarbonisation that makes balancing the grid easier. Electric cars is another example, where a lot of people will have flexibility of delaying or being proactive with charging based on electricity price forecasts. I expect most rental car companies will provide some grid balancing services, and in the near future you’ll have to pay extra to check out a car with 100% SoC.
According to Kaparthy, in his LLM talk, he mentions the limitation right now is compute and there are no signs otherwise. So in a sense, it is moores law all over again for GPUs + these models.
IDK about parking situation as I don't own a car, but I find it hard to believe that in some place there would be no way of paying for public transport without a smartphone. I personally use a cash-paid, cash-refilled transport card.

As for TOTP - this one is very universally doable on desktop, like with KeepassXC. Or you're talking about logging in outside your home, like in a library or computer club?
Thanks for clearing that up - I thought the fees applied to all sales, not just ones with attribution to their ads. (I'm not an Etsy seller myself, but I'm friends with people who are)

The fees are still astronomically high even without the ads program.
Is this satire? 10mph and over is usually with the flow of traffic. Many speed limits are artificially low and that’s why traffic flows faster.

Horrible. Texas used to follow this belief too, that exceed speed was the primary cause of traffic accidents and so must be heavily enforced, but then reversed direction with positive results.

The bad logic is as follows: Speed in excess of posted limits increases the probability of a traffic related accident. This is affirming the consequent in combination with an appeal to probability. The reality is that there are typically a multitude of variables responsible for traffic accidents, and so isolating and then blaming one of those variables in isolation results in a belief system that ignores evidence.

The primary cause of most traffic accidents is driver inattention irrespective of their speed. A driver who is not paying sufficient attention and driving with excess speed is more dangerous still, but the primary factor there is still not the speed.

Now instead of heavily enforcing speed limits aggressively everywhere, often as a money making venture for local municipalities, Texas police instead focus on more import aspects of criminal law and community service. Reckless driving is still just as heavily enforced however.
Hey. I have published a non-fiction book, and i would like to publish the audiobook on Amazon (Audible, etc). Do you know if the output is accepted by them? What format should I provide my book to AudiowaveAI to receive a good audio? Does it understand chapter titles, quotations, etc?

I moved away from Cloudflare—to self hosting our network infrastructure—because, while this didn’t happen to us, I was very aware that it could. We had a great deal on Enterprise for a couple of years, but zero guarantees that it would last (and some indications that it wouldn’t). I wanted to stop praying that they wouldn’t alter the deal.
It’s curious that the “studies” cited all have wildly differing outcomes. It makes the first example given with a 48% increase seem very questionable and possibly misleading, when all the others are single-digit increases at best. How much more do people spend? Is there a stronger meta analysis somewhere?

The bottom of the article launches into spoken number frequencies. The caption under the digit frequencies plot claims “the decreasing frequency of numerals is due to the organization of our mental representation of quantities.” This seems to be simply Benford’s law, and the plot of numbers across languages suggests the same. Assigning this to some mental process or cognitive bias for small numbers seems like it might be inventing an incorrect explanation.

Great article. PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections) and similar disorders such as MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) are terrifying for parents and children. Too many doctors don't know about them.

Treatment is often an uphill battle, even to get well-understood drugs such as well-known antibiotics (such as cefprozil) and mast cell stabilizers (such as cromolyn). Many doctors refuse to try these, and many insurance companies refuse to cover them for off-book use.

In my opinion, the best solution is called "Test Of Treatment" (TOT). It means try a variety of things, and see what works. Test Of Treatment can happen after the usual treatments are tried and fail. Test Of Treatment can use generally-safe generally-reversible treatments, much like exploratory probes, to discover what's wrong and what can help.
I really wish that these lists included explanations for why they are incorrect, or at least links to resources accordingly.
Another possible failure mode is that the problem is in fact unsolvable.
traffic flows faster because the roads widths and other affordances are designed for high speed, even on low speed roads.

If you want people to go slower, make the roads/lanes narrower.
This was a real joy to read. Especially kudos for the (I guess already oldschool?) plain text figures. I was reading this with lynx (as I stll frequently use it) and totally enjoyed the flawless accessibility of this article. Whatever the motivation, thanks for putting out content like this, it is totally appreciated!
I was with you until your assertion that enforcement is the answer. Copying Texas on traffic engineering is not a serious take:

https://ftp.txdot.gov/pub/txdot-info/trf/trafficsafety/engin...
One of the issues is that posted speeds often don’t match the speed the road allows people to comfortably do. To bring speeds down, the things that are generally most effective are street narrowing, speed tables and humps (to bring to speeds safe in neighborhoods), and then obstacles like protected bike lanes or pedestrian refuge islands.

When a street is designed to allow someone to comfortably do 45 because it’s maybe 2 lanes in one direction instead of 1, but posted as a 25, people will speed on it.
For me writing is also a much bigger part of the process. Writing out my explanation of the problem (its symptoms and my theories) to a colleague, even if I don't send it off, can spur me to come up with a new idea. Writing blog posts or an outline of such a blog post can help me spot gaps in my understanding and justifications. And writing down the solution, for myself two weeks ago as the intended audience, helps me internalize the important bits while filing away the minutiae for later reference. Publishing it on my blog also ensures that I spend enough time on the writeup that it is actually helpful for myself later, and not just a mess of notes.
I think it's stupid, but some of my behaviors seem stupid to others: I worship an invisible deity. Some people get carbon pushed into their skin. Other people change their sex by modifying body parts.

You’re expecting rationality from an irrational actor or actors. Not an effective use of time.

...this is another misintepretation. You're looking at a list of donations by employees, who presumably don't fall under the same political persuasion. We know this for a fact given that Jim Simons and Robert Mercer are themselves on opposite ends of the spectrum (and each was very politically active).

Anyway yeah, I'm sure RenTech is just lacking scrutiny. Surely no astute investigative journalist has thought to look their way.

There's a big difference. The cop knows that the resemblance could be coincidental and will (usually) do further investigation before actually harming the suspect. If an automated system fingers someone, the assumption is that the system is correct and innocent people caught up will suffer harm.
I use:

And I've also defined some helper functions:

# zellij attach [container]
function za() {
zellij attach "$*"

}

# zellij run floating [command]
function zrf() {

}

# zellij edit file [file]
function zed() {
zellij edit "$@"
}

# zellij attach
function zs() {
sessions=$(zellij list-sessions --no-formatting | awk '{printf "\033[1;36m%-20s\033[0m %s\n", $1, $3}')
selected_session=$(echo "$sessions" | fzf --height ${FZF_TMUX_HEIGHT:-20%} --ansi)
if [ -n "$selected_session" ]; then
za $selected_session | awk '{print $1}'
fi
}

--

I'm currently working to write a plugin which will dynamically name zellij workspaces based on their context, with an easier way to rename them as well. The automatic naming scheme is annoying to remember as it chooses two words and stitches them together, e.g "brave-piano", "lucky-iguanadon".

Cooperate or Collapse
I'm curious why you don't like the idea, because in my opinion it doesn't go far enough and should instead require active speed limitation in new vehicles (i.e. the car is prevented for exceeding the speed limit by a certain amount or at least has a much lower top speed governor). For something as regulated and potentially dangerous as driving, it seems pretty silly that cars are able to massively exceed legal speeds, particular since it's a "feature" that plenty of people take advantage of regularly with very little in the way of consequences.
This feels intuitive to me. At least for programming languages I know well "reading" code is more like looking at it from a structural point of view. Like reviewing a diagram or flowchart.

I don't usually read code from front to back like you do with natural language.

The problem is that it was never that good. Anyone who has used K8s at scale will tell you at length how it doesn’t scale. People should stop focusing on tech companies like celebrities and focus instead on domain problems related to their business.

> Seems like there’s a pretty straightforward alternative here - have law enforcement enforce the law.

As a law-and-order kind of person, this my first reaction as well.

But it seems so obvious, I have to wonder: what's at work that prevents this solution from being enacted?

I.e., are there factors I'm not aware of that make it logistically and/or politically difficult?
I have exact lens setup. The mentioned telezoom rarely leaves my camera unless I need a portable camera that’s when the 40 shines. I have no problem with resolution since I use Z6 II.

I switched to 24-200 during workshop with Pinkhassov as he is a strong proponent of superzooms.

> This announcement is one step in our ambitious infrastructure roadmap. By the end of 2024, we’re aiming to continue to grow our infrastructure build-out that will include 350,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs as part of a portfolio that will feature compute power equivalent to nearly 600,000 H100s.

I also strongly suspect that if you aren't building your own hardware and software together, you'll fall behind. Google, Apple, MSFT, and Meta are doing this to varying degrees and maturity.
Straightforward, sure. Likely? Never.
The speed limit was about gas consumption in a supply crisis. And it should be still about energy consumption.
How do you deal with DDoS attacks against said OVH servers?
people tell that solana lowers validating fees up to inability to stand against normal traffic which ddos it.

also two thirds of transactions are validators voting for blocks.

also afaik solana finalization time is not sub second, but 10 seconds. intrestingly why misleading info about sub second still persist...

also solana cannot really execute as part of single transaction all needed. so from 1/3 of useful transactions, half is just account lookup table creation.

so it feels somebody tries hard to tell the story about high throughput and low latency, while both are not there.
Eh, I tried it and it still tastes different for sure when it is not homogenized
How long until they come for our acceleration, too?

Not much but it’s a start.

Unfortunately the US treats every street and road like it’s a country road when it comes to speed limits, with a lot of deaths as a result.

You also have to keep in mind the scope and timeline of where these principles apply. I'm sure someone would be able to apply them to their own work most of the time but if you look at a company as a whole, unless someone at the top is really pushing for global simplicity, things are pretty messy most of the time.

I'm just saying this because Google might be doing this in little islands, not as a company strategy. I don't really know and can only guess from the outside.
I have a use case for a niche audience:

The videogame Final Fantasy XIV has a lot of text. A LOT of text.

Someone has made a plugin to pipe text to external tts services, or a websocket. You talk to characters in game and hear the dialog read by the tts.

https://github.com/karashiiro/TextToTalk

For whatever reason, amazon poly only exposes middling quality voices to the plugin. And I'd rather not have an active AWS account for just this use case.

ElevenLabs is supported by the plugin, but their service isn't really about tts and I'd have to pay the $220/yr tier to unlock further "pay as you go (per character)" with a budget of 100,000 characters per month. A bit steep for using it only for in this one game.

If someone could help plumb AudiowaveAI to this plugin, I'd gladly turn off AWS for this!
I genuinely can't tell if you're being serious or not. Are you?
Many cars use vision systems to identify the current speed limit, eliminating the need for a database.

Claims range from raw milk containing more protein, more antimicrobials, and reducing asthma. None of which stand up to review.[1]. Just another woo-woo anti-science fad.

Protein - casein isn't impacted by the amount of heat during pasteurization. Whey sees minimal loss, but not enough to really impact the nutrition.

Antimicrobials - impacted by refrigeration, regardless of pasteurization.

Asthma - no proof of causation, mild correlation in children.

Your opinion demonstrates some combination of appeal to authority and weak empathy. People drive fast because for any number of reasons: they enjoy driving fast, want to get to their destination earlier, have competing priorities, are not paying attention, and so forth.

There are many laws on the books that are rarely enforced and its not a recipe for disaster. Some laws are just old and achieve functional obsolescence. Some laws exist only so that they can be enforced as helpful to prevent or investigate other unrelated criminal behavior. The only disaster here is irrationally limiting the discretion of judicial and law enforcement agents to appease some blind appeal to authority.
