"Project 2025 would be the platform of the Republican party as a whole should he win."

That's just your conjecture. It seems unlikely that would be the platform for the party in its entirety. Parts of it, maybe. The party didn't set anything like this the last time. I'd expect a similar lack of cohesion and following Trump this time. Agenda 47 is the most probable.
Good thing we’re moving to PHEVs and other cars that have more axle pressure and generates more tire and brake dust. Wait, that’s not a good thing at all.

I'm all for gardening - there's something therapeutic about seeing a plant grow and evolve over time. You can see something tangibly change over time as a result of your work, something quite rare in today's world where we spend our time on computers producing ephemeral things like files.

That said, I'm completely opposed to urban food gardening (including chickens) because the land you're growing in is likely poisoned by years of urban pollution. Whatever you grow in those areas is going to bring that bad stuff along with it, which means your backyard tomatoes probably wouldn't pass FDA approval.

Chickens are even worse, because they'll eat whatever's on the ground and that stuff gets into the eggs. So while it looks great on Instagram, your backyard eggs are probably full of rubber, asphalt, gasoline, plastics, and all the other stuff that's wafted into your property over the years.

So anyway, by all means garden and have fun doing it, but if you haven't had your urban soil tested and verified as safe, don't eat anything that comes out of it.
The purge isn't necessary for healing, shamans use your physical purging as an anchor to help you emotionally purge, but that's just another technique.

I regret not getting a tumbler for my compost, turning it in a 5x5x5 bin in a small backyard is challenging. I think that’s also why my compost loses activity in the colder months. I have a supplementary kitchen-sized heated tumbler compost bin on my deck for winter which does a great job but too small.
Now tell me about small sites.

Or sites like Wikipedia, running mastodon instance, blogging, ..

I just replaced a pair of worn-out bike tires. They certainly wore out by the rubber going somewhere. The amount of rubber lost was maybe a couple mm thick, by 15 mm wide. The tires had probably about 8000 miles on them. I don't know if that info helps with doing the math on where rubber particles primarily come from.

I agree. Permanence should be tied to individual wills, not collective inertia. If you want a permanent thing, work for it, host it and publicize it
Not OP but my experience is

- R packages are much more likely to include compilation of C libraries, which can cause grief if you're not experienced enough to install specific libs that might be newer than eg what apt provides

- library(package) imports the full package into the global namespace (from package import *) which is fine for small projects but scales poorly

Anaconda largely handles the first problem if you can constrain you package use to its ecosystem though.

For my anecdata the worst R package wasn't any worse than a python package that needed gdal, but I had to deal with these problems easily 5 times more often
The curb weight of most EVs in North America can be surprising when people look up their specs compared to past and present ICE or Hybrid vehicles. That weight has a lot of side-effects, or externalities, including higher relative tire wear, suspension wear, momentum in collisions, etc.

The difference is mostly from the battery. North American EVs tend to have larger batteries than their international market peers too because of product range targets and marketability; unfortunately, vehicles in the Nissan Leaf / BMW i3 / Volkswagen eGolf or ID3 size are a very small portion of North American EVs.

* The typical Tesla Model 3 weighs around 4,000 lbs (~1,800kg). Models Y, S, X (4,400 lbs, 4,700lbs, 5,200lbs / 2,000 kg, 2,100 kg, 2,400 kg) respectively.

* A 2024 Toyota Prius weighs around 3,100 lbs (~1,400kg). A 2010-era Toyota Prius weighs around 3,000 lbs (~1,400kg).

* A Tesla Cybertruck (Dual-motor, lightest config) weighs around 6,600 lbs (3,000kg).

* A General Motors Hummer H2 (2002-2009) from the early 2000s-era weighs around 6,400 lbs (3,000kg)

* The Nissan Leaf / BMW i3 / VW ID3 size EVs, with their largest battery options (30-40kWh) tend to weigh around 3,000-3,500 lbs (1,300-1,600 kg)

* The typical North American EV weighs as much, if not more than, midsize and full-size pickup trucks from 20 years ago. The Hummer H2 weight is quoted above, not because it was a typical pickup/SUV, but because it was often considered to be a gaudy example of wastefulness during its time.
MPEG-LA is a very bad example. For starters, it's not MPEG; and furthermore there isn't a single MPEG patent pool anymore. There's like three of them, plus patent holders that haven't actually joined a pool, and that's made H.265 licensing a living nightmare.

Don't take my innovating-hating Stallmanite commie ass's word for it. Leonardo Chiariglione himself - a man who is adamantly opposed to royalty free formats being the superior standard[0] - has pointed out significant problems with the ISO MPEG licensing model of "we use whatever's best and let the patent pools sort it out". See: https://blog.chiariglione.org/a-crisis-the-causes-and-a-solu...

Since he posted that article, ISO cut MPEG into a bunch of tiny pieces and Leonardo was pushed out of the organization he founded, presumably as retaliation for airing the dirty laundry. He now runs a competing organization (MPAI) with very specific licensing requirements specifically to ensure patent pools don't go nuts screwing over users of patents.

[0] To be clear, he doesn't hate royalty free, he just wants it to be deliberately inferior so that research labs can make money off the patent royalties to fund more research.

That depends on the type of data, and regardless, your goal is to minimizing the input data since it has a direct impact on performance overhead and duration of inference.
Many of the free or cheap OCR services are based on the free, open-source Tesseract OCR.

https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/

Those services usually do not expose all of the options. If you’re handy with shell scripts or Python, you can probably get better performance by hand-tuning options for your particular images. For example, if I recall there are page segmentation options to tell Tesseract to expect multi-column text. That alone might get you better performance than the automatic mode.
Take a look at Remix. Great DX. No vendor lockin.
Interesting and thank you for sharing.

Can you say anything about the politically aligned response to GMOs? It seems like there are groups on both sides who feel very strongly about them.

My mild concerns relate to licensing and the economic pressure toward monoculture. It seems many are opposed to them in a sort of conspiracy theory panic.

So yeah, do you know what motivates opposition to them and how does motivations breakdown politically?

That resonates with my impression too. The problem is that the two world views have a conflict in what are appropriate climate action policies. If you believe we should protect nature, that humanity is the bad thing, you want to ultimately remove humanity from some contexts (eg protected habitats), whereas if you believe that toxicity is the problem, you just want the toxicity out of /YOUR/ environment, and certainly don’t need to worry about protecting habitats.

Where do they belong? When we set forever chemical loose in the environment, it is expected that a quantity of them will reach the ones in the top of the food chain, which humans are. Where are forever chemicals supposed to end up when we decide it is less costly economic-wise to use them?

The vague language is insufficient to support the claim.

> Yeah but you see, they will miss that 'one mission per year' thing by quite a large margin.

So, that's fair. But it's also complicated. Part of that number (for EGS) is for the upkeep of buildings like the VAB. Which is fair - SLS is the only real user, so they get charged for it.

But it's also kind of not fair, since NASA's going to keep it around, even if SLS wasn't a thing. As evidenced by NASA doing just that in the interim period between Constellation and SLS.

> And I don't think just excluding all 'prior development' as if it was irrelevant makes much sense. Development cost should be considered as part of a program.

I completely agree with you in general.

But I think that it's easier to tally the development costs separately.

And it's important to know how much it costs to just build and launch the rocket. A number which NASA (outside of OIG) has been extremely reluctant to release to the public. As far as I know, NASA leadership has never made specific claims about how much SLS costs, just that the OIG numbers are wrong and/or misleading.

Once the program ends, we'll have a better idea of how to amortize the develop costs over the total number of launches.

> Maybe someone can train an AI to decide which alarms need immediate attention, given N staff members available.

The words you've used could hypothetically mean some future artificial general intelligence that does not currently exist and there is no guarantee will ever exist, especially within the lifetimes of those participating in this thread. That could obviously be quite good.

"AI" as currently defined by marketing and pop culture to mean machine learning, large language models, etc. should never be allowed to make a medically important decision. We've already seen beyond any reasonable doubt how risky it is to even treat them as a natural language search engine, the idea of handing over life-or-death decisions to them is literally insane.
I think another angle that often gets overlooked is that building out these tools is a competitive edge and valuation multiplier.

Harkening back to Paul Graham’s “Beating the Averages” talk about Lisp - they’ve solved problems that their competitors are also trying to solve, which could give an edge.

From the valuation perspective, for that same reason, this is now an asset that can be acquired as a technology on its own - whereas using MySQL adds no intrinsic value.
An their law.
I don't know. This is sort of arguing that a world in which publishers were gatekeepers/PR agencies/etc. meant that authors could sort of hide behind that front--at the cost of putting their fate in the hands of their publisher.

But I'm not sure how widespread/true that ever was. Authors went on book tours and TV shows all the time to promote their writing. I'm not sure how common the pseudonymous/reclusive successful author ever was.

The tools are great, there are no ads in them and I am glad the devs are not starving to death.

People take open source for granted and complain about most inane things.
That depends on the area and there are methods to mitigate that.

One group out in New Jersey that has a community garden in heavily polluted land uses clean straw bales as the grow medium. Those only last for two or three years. But you can grow stuff.

Regenerative and permaculture methods includes soil remediation techniques for rebuilding soil. For heavily polluted land, Dr John Todd has some remarkable methods that can remediate even places such as superfund sites, though that might not be something to DIY. Dr Todd also has a quick method for testing that doesn’t involve a lab; not comprehensive, but will get you the observation you need.

Finally, as you see from other articles including the current front page of HN — leafy veggies have been found to have tire additives. Micro plastics are found in rain amd in animals in the wild. Our planet has been so broadly polluted, and our industrial agriculture will not necessarily be safer. For those with an interest in stewardship, you have to start somewhere.
But the ads will be so relevant and valuable!

Ow, reading your comment is making my back hurt. Yes. I feel your pain. That said, I don’t use a bin. I’ve succumbed to the lazy boy way of handling my compost, which is to make a haphazard pile and then use a rake to mix it up by toppling it and rolling it. It’s made my life a ton easier, back doesn’t hurt anymore, and my results are great.
Why not overlapping sizes? (1), (1,2), (1,2,3) Sometimes the match is in a single sentence. Sometimes in the full paragraph. Sometimes across two paragraphs. If, in your top n results, some of these items overlap, you use the greater unit. And you slide these windows.

Also, I wouldn’t necessarily use a “sentence” as the lower bound, since that can be something like “Yes.”
> despite that massive inefficiency holding it back

I assume you are referring to the size of the genome. Has anyone been able to prove that it is causing an inefficiency? Maybe it isn't. In classical computer programming languages sometimes more code is more efficient, such as unrolled loops. That analogy may not apply here. I am far from knowledgeable in this realm.
Honestly, tire companies would love to sell you tires once a year or more, if they were actually safer for the environment, and safe to eat or whatever. I'd happily make that trade-off, if there was legitimate science to back it up.

I think about this every time I drive through the morgan hill / gilroy / watsonville area on the way to a camping trip. You have some of the most expensive crops in the nation (berries, leafy greens, cherries, etc.) growing here in california, and it's surrounded by roads that somehow seem like they are always at capacity, depositing tire dust, particulate matter from diesel engines, and who knows what else all over the soil and the plants themselves.

This stuff should be just as regulated as if we were spraying it on our crops, because we are.
Weird, since ferns’ fractal growth plan lends itself so well to simple recursion.

Maybe most of the genome is just a long comment explaining why they can’t use recursion.
No.

> we have entered into a new long-term agreement with Apple that extends beyond 2040, continuing … Apple’s access to the Arm architecture.

Clearly says that the agreement continues Apple’s access to the Arm architecture beyond 2040. That’s what a licensing deal is.

This is an important disclosure. Any attempt to pass something less than a licensing deal with this wording wouldn’t get pass the lawyers.
To me people have power in these situations as far as their ethics go. And in the US, ethics aren’t in high demand.

While I also find the handle quite objectionable, I wouldn't say that "racewar" and "genocide" are words which can be freely exchanged without lack of meaning.

They have a reputation for humor in very poor taste, but insofar as there's any sincerity to be found there, it isn't that of sincere genocide enjoyers.
Not ferns specifically, but I've read a simplistic explanation that plants lack behavioral defenses, so they rely on chemical defenses. And more chemical defenses requires more genes.

There should be a similar price for companies extracting finite resources from the planet: opportunity cost for future generations.
And of course, peat is a fossil fuel (a precursor to coal), and burning it releases CO2. So this wildfire cycle is the equivalent of strip-mining all the Canadian peat deposits and involuntarily burning them, which further increases CO2 levels, which further raises global temperatures, which exposes even more feedback loops.

This is why the IPCC was targeting 1.5C as a limit beyond which any further anthropogenic climate change needed to be avoided. At that point, natural feedback cycles kick in, which make it very difficult to halt climate change (regardless of what humans do) before hitting 4-5C in warming.
