It's worth noting that California is one of the wealthiest regions in the world, yet it faces extremely high electricity bills to achieve its goals.

On the other hand, nuclear power is criticized while France, which relies heavily on nuclear energy, enjoys some of the lowest electricity rates in Europe.

Claiming that nuclear power is an irrelevant option in 2024 for decarbonizing by 2050 is simply false. The timeline for nuclear construction is well-documented and realistic.
https://www.sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/nuclear-constructi...

How can you apply California's model to poorer countries when even California hasn't fully decarbonized? France, on the other hand, achieved significant decarbonization decades ago.

It's ironic that people like you see the fight against climate change as an opportunity to attack nuclear power. Be honest about your intentions.

Surprisingly, yes! 90hz would be considered the minimum here.

As a general statement, no, vision isn’t as time-sensitive as hearing, so the timing requirements aren’t as precise. But when it comes to head and hand tracking, the brain’s also doing predictive sensor fusion, and even “unnoticeably” small delays can be disorienting or nauseating. (Ocular fixation is the most sensitive, but hand-eye coordination is also pretty important to the brain!)

The important number in VR is “motion-to-photon” latency.
Over 20ms starts to be noticeable to most people; 50ms starts to make most people uncomfortable. That’s the total budget for sensor fusion, simulation, rendering, and display, and that’s just for the bare-minimum experience that doesn’t make people immediately ill.

You can do a lot with prediction and late updates in screen space, which is what makes VR possible at all on current hardware— but it’s hard to make up for having sensor data delayed by possibly 150% of the total time budget :)
Yep, don't think it pays to go the middle ground in this case.

I worked with a fellow who was adamant that molybdenum was a better choice for head protection, and that tin or al-foil was just a cheap government trick to convince people into ineffective protection. He was a funny guy who could say things like this with a convincing straight face.
They likely have the same 4x100 bolt pattern… find out what models have the noise cancelling and order a set from the dealer once you confirm the bolt pattern and that they are a similar tire size.

Edit:

CRV has a different bolt pattern. 5x114.3 instead of 5x100. You’ll have to use an adapter or get a 2022 Prius which should have the same bolt pattern, could also swap the wheel hub to 5x114.3

You could also go to a wheel shop, they often have stock wheels from people who bought aftermarket. If you’re not a car guy just go to a wheel shop they should be able to do the swap for you, all Toyotas are parts bin cars, so everything is pretty interchangeable.

Then go to the wrecker and get CRV wheels. Here’s the adapter your need.

The disdain with which they treat the open-source community means I have no interest in using their commercial/enterprise offerings.
> You seem legitimately offended that this guy has preferences and opinions

No, I am not offended that anyone has preferences or opinions. What I am responding to is this language:

> Neither a Vision Pro owner nor much of a hog cranker

> native applications designed to aid manipulating oneself

> dead-eyed men and women rutting on camera

...which is intended to indicate disdain towards people who produce or consume pornographic material. I think that this person is going out of their way to be an unkind contrarian regarding porn, and in my opinion that deserves a little light ridicule!
I don't like podcasters because they usually muddle through stuff and approach things in a kind of non-productive superficial way that drives easy engagement rather than hard work results.

That said if it's a topic that I'm really really ignorant about, a little podcast/YouTube can be helpful. For example Yannick kilchers YouTube videos, especially how he annotates and breaks down the math equations, can be very useful if the paper's domain is new to me.

I think about it as pre-reading the paper.

A more focused first and second reading mode, may I propose, would add even more value. In these modes, the paper would be read more faithfully.

A problem that text to speech has when you feed it a regular PDF is that it will choke on titles, headings, footers, inline citations, page numbers, acronyms, abbreviations, numerical tables, charts, and diagrams.

So I would like to build or see something that conversationally reads the PDF as if it were a peer reading to me, unpacking abbreviations, mentioning titles and authors and years of citations (when I want that), describing charts, and perhaps even letting me interrupt to discuss specific misunderstandings I'm having.

There's obviously a challenge that reading a paper is an active engagement depending on your own knowledge state. We might gloss over formulas, footnotes, and citations on a first read, for example.

Still, a low hanging fruit would be a converter mode that accurately strips out page numbers and headers. There is little in this world more aggravating than listening to a 30 page paper, and having to hear that paper title and authors repeated an additional 15 times because it's reading the header.
> Are those on stand-by ready to go?

Good News: There's no real risk to them remaining on ISS at this point, short of some major incident on the ISS itself which required immediate evacuation.

Less good:

Even if Boeing had a spare Starliner (they don't), they don't have a spare rocket to put it on.

Even if Boeing had a spare fully stacked Starliner + Rocket, I'm not sure anyone (even Boeing) would trust their process to be agile enough to launch a recovery mission any time soon.

So that leaves Russia's Soyuz and SpaceX's Crew Dragon.

Using Soyuz would be a major political headache, aside from anything else. It'd require scrapping the next planned Soyuz mission - it may take several months to get that ready. I believe they have to (and would) have to send it up manned.

Using Crew Dragon may be possible, No idea on where SpaceX is as with having refurbished/ready to go capsules on hand, but they have enough launch cadence that it may be possible.

Space Suits then become a problem - they're specific to each launch vehicle, and customised for each wearer. So lead times there become an issue.
That seems clear? Are you perhaps reading that as a literal command 'have faith in this process'? I believe their point is that you should have (or lose) faith in regulations as the constraint on industry, as opposed to companies which are viewed as having no restraint.

I don't entirely agree with that viewpoint, but they aren't saying anything inherently contradictory

In all seriousness though, this would be pretty cool and I'd love to try it. I suspect that some of the problem is just that companies tend to constantly push to deliver the bare minimum while charging the most. Holographic chocolate would take more money to make and companies are always trying to charge you as much as you're willing to spend for chocolate while giving you the lowest quality/effort product you'll still pay for. While I wouldn't expect to see something like this showing up in the candy aisles of your typical grocery store smaller fancier places will be willing to do
it and charge a premium

> "Better off" in that they could have done nothing and got money anyways,

Or done another job and had more money (see your previous paragraph). Unless you think people only work when they immediately need the money, in which case,

> the labor is entirely voluntary

is incorrect. Economists disagree on many of these points, and each viewpoint ends up with a mostly-consistent model of economics, but jumping between viewpoints the way you are doing is not valid. Ex contradictione sequitur quodlibet: your conclusion is certainly nothing I've ever seen an economist propose.

> Did he ever work for a living?

Wikipedia's right there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Maynard_Keynes#Career But I didn't cite him because he agrees with me. I cited him because he's the economist who's come closest to saying what you're saying. Spoilers:

> If the Treasury were to fill old bottles with banknotes, bury them at suitable depths in
disused coalmines which are then filled up to the surface with town rubbish, and leave it
to private enterprise on well-tried principles of laissez-faire to dig the notes up again (the
right to do so being obtained, of course, by tendering for leases of the note-bearing
territory), there need be no more unemployment and, with the help of the repercussions,
the real income of the community, and its capital wealth also, would probably become a
good deal greater than it actually is.

The rest of the chapter explains how I've quoted him out of context, and he would laugh at you if you seriously proposed doing this.
In my experience, it's three things:

1. You need really good surface contact to get the diffraction on, so you can only really apply it to flat, uncurved surfaces

2. You need to apply it while the chocolate is hardening. If you're using a mold, you cast the chocolate upside-down so only the base is exposed during setting. You can't diffract the part people will actually see.

3. The effect is really fragile. Chocolate melts at around body temperature, so if you hold the piece for too long, the diffraction disappears. I've been able to transport diffractive chocolate in a padded box but don't think I could wrap the chocolate directly.

Your point is well taken but usually the bigger burden to buying a house is being able to afford the monthly payments, especially at high interest rates like right now. Esp in Bay Area where most startups are.

Usually if you don't have the money for a down payment, you probably don't have the cash inflow for making monthly payments either. Especially at a startup where you are not drawing much in salary.

> (b) because their strategy is such that it would harm their revenue more than benefit it. Apple isn't going to shed its privacy marketing or privacy-oriented features. It is going to build richer user profiles and sell more attention to advertisers, whether they maintain control of app distribution on iOS or not.

You dismiss that, but that's the point.

No company has your best interests at heart, but I'll buy apple products until such time as their interests no longer align with mine. Then, I can just go buy cheaper things as they've lost their market advantage.

Is this even remotely justifiable in a well run organization? Speaks more to the management than this fired employee.
NVH is a big contributor to perception of quality in the car world. This is a very elegant solution to a problem that probably wasn't all that high on the list.
The pivot is probably “Apple Intelligence”. Apple has a treasure trove of information that could be used to train their models. All it takes is a few updates to the EULA and slowly wipe away the “privacy” stances from their corp site.

Anecdotally, have seen a few positions for their internal ad tech team; and have been pinged a couple of times by recruiters.
Why would Google be affected? They don't restrict third party apps the way Apple does. Anybody can publish Android apps, you don't have to pay Google a cent to do it either.
It depends on the kind of proofs you deal with. If you need to write math in general terms, you can't avoid dealing with at some level the equivalent of category theory and you will want natural access to dependent types. So Coq and Lean. Otoh HOL is easy to comprehend and sufficient for almost everything else. And HOL based provers are designed to work with ATPs. HOL Light in particular is just another OCaml program and all terms and data structures can be easily manipulated in OCaml.
Makes sense. I don't find the idea of mentally tracking everyone's resources a particularly interesting or fun aspect of a game.
"as good" not a direct replacement*
They're more dangerous mostly because they're optimized for maneuverability which requires trading off aerodynamic stability and glide ratio. All aircraft have problems mid-flight and most pilot training is about how to deal with that but when something goes wrong, fighter jets just don't have much time to recover before they plummet. That maneuverability also makes it a lot easier to get disoriented and lose control.

Trainer jets like the L39 albatross have a less maneuverable design in exchange for being a lot more survivable in event of a problem. The engines themselves aren't that much less reliable - some engines like the Garrett TFE731 have a TBO of 4,000 hours which is significantly more than many GA engines like the Continental in an entry level Cessna.
This looks great. I wonder what other games it could be applied to.
I think in this regard the government could have basically reallocated spectrum to be roughly equal among the big four and financially it would be a bankruptcy situation.

Yeah, I am not against using tools of production. My problem is with ownership. You do not own the product you create with Photoshop[1], and you do not even own Photoshop anymore! It's all leases and terms of 'service' and no ownership of software.

Users of ChatGPT are serfs not owners. Their use of ChatGPT provides value to ChatGPT the corporation. Today we live in techno-feudalism[2], and not a time of tech ownership. So the serf gets wheat and cattle, the king stays in his castle.

I am against that these tools are actually tools of consumption. I am for software production ownership.

They're just different. I never play Scrabble with friends because it's too serious and competitive. Banana grams is light and fun and unpredictable.
Interesting twist. Our group would never have agreed to play open-handed resources. We were all bastards. IMO one of the best parts of the game was that opponent's hands were secret unless you went through the effort of keeping track of their hands. That information imbalance opened up many underhanded and shrewd trading strategies. We also would allow dishonorable trading, like offering a trade you couldn't fulfill, to goad your opponent into revealing whether he would take it, valuable information. We also allowed making side deals, like "trade me two stone and two wheat as a protection bribe and I'll never put the robber on you."

Did you also play with the development cards open-handed? That would be a twist, too, because a lot of the end game is about wondering whether or not your opponents' cards gave them points advantages, whether they were going for largest army, and so on.
> This Elixir version introduces the Duration data type and APIs to shift dates, times, and date times by a given duration, considering different calendars and time zones.

> We chose the name “shift” for this operation (instead of “add”) since working with durations does not obey properties such as associativity. For instance, adding one month and then one month does not give the same result as adding two months:

I'm not exactly sure why adding one month and then one month would give a different result compared to just adding two months. Don't you in reality want the same thing? Why is "shift" more useful than "add"?

This is a finished product, in a gorgeous timber case (if you like that sort of thing) with a beautiful knurled knob. And a bunch of custom written software and a collected database of quotes.

I reckon it'd sell - at least to the right crowd - at 4-5 times that price.

Those of use who are capable of making their own probably wouldn't buy one anyway - but as a high end gift or executive toy, I could see them selling these at $700 or $800.
