There are other subtle rules that language may follow in word formation.

For example, in Japanese, a word like tokatokaino may mutate into tokadokaino due to a phonological effect called Rendaku (it depends on details like if "tokadokaino" is a compound word made of "toka"+"toka"+"ino")

As a speaker of Scandinavian languages, literally none of the vowels in English map correctly to how we pronounce the same vowels. Several of the English vowels are diphthongs, which we spell out with double vowels. Like eng. "i" is our "ai", eng. "a" is our "ei" - "a bridge" is translated to "ei bro", where the articles are pronounced exactly the same. Or the Scottish word for home, "hame", is pronounced exactly like we say the same word, "heim".
Reminds me of Feynman on magnets. He said something awhile back...basically said "ya'all are too dumb to understand magnets". That was my take-away anyway.

I got a chuckle out of having the 'expert' be Buffet and the subject be finance. I don't think there is a worse example of a subject that lacks first principles and where vocabulary is used to obfuscate and give it a veneer or credibility.

The POSIX portable filename character set is:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 . _ -

Additionally:

* The slash `/` is portable as a separator.

* The filename should not be empty

* The filenames `.` and `..` are special. (in many contexts it's reasonable to exclude all components that start with a dot)

* The filename should not start with a `-`

* The entire path should be no more than 256 bytes and no component should be more than 14 bytes (widely ignored since we assume modern filesystems).
Well I meant several things with that claim, which is why, per the theme of the thread, you cannot summarise these matters in cute sentences.

Fire is only possible in an atmosphere with extraordinarily high accumulations of oxygen on planets with an atmosphere, etc. The only known process to bring this about, as far as I know, is life.

Generically, lighting is the 'original' fire on earth. But I take it the commentor was thinking more in their school days of the sustained sort of burning commonly called 'fire'.
And they’ve literally told us everything they’re going to do. That makes watching this all the more painful.
> I know I’m logging into my bank because I initiated the connection,
...

Just because you initiated the connection how do you know the other end is you bank? Do you trust every internet company that carries your packets to the bank? Trust their employees? Trust their security practices? Do you trust firmware on all the devices involved?

> People are routinely defrauded by scammers who claim to be their bank,

I have read about this in the news just like I read about snakes with two heads etc yet I have yet to meet someone that has had this happen to them. What fraction of people that you know have had this happen?

Could it be that these people believe like you do that "I know I’m logging into my bank because I initiated the connection" as opposed to checking the digital signatures on the connection?
Yeah I let out a nice belly laugh as soon as I saw that. I may actually give this a read later though as a chronically single dev.

I think the fundamental concepts introduced in the article make sense (e.g. know what you want, check in with one another regularly, etc.), but the framing of it in terms of "Agile", and the co-opting of agile terminology, does the article a disservice. Agile in practice is oft perverted to dysfunction by corporate agents, so associating dating with Agile triggers a visceral skepticism.
Gyang Nyam definitely sounds Korean (thanks to that old meme), but then Shom Pwajok is less discernable -- it's like a hint of Thai or some other southeast Asian language.

They vary widely. I bought an off brand mini PC where the USB ports randomly lost power. There was no online community or support to speak of to help me figure out the problem. In that regard the Pi is far better.

> A counterpoint i rarely see is if everyone would switch to EVs or PHEVs in 5 years, the electrical infra would collapse.

Electricity grids are massively overbuilt and underutilized because they need to deal with a big spike of power usage in the early evenings. So if grids became strained by EVs, it would be relatively easy to fix this: just encourage or mandate time of day tariffs.

The price signal would encourage people to charge outside of peak times. The improved utilization of the grid may even reduce distribution costs per kWh.
Same in Greek, now that you mention it.
Running multicloud (at the same time) is for availability not disaster recovery. Just having another copy of the data outside is good for DR, even if you have to redeploy everything manually in a hurry.
Yeah I'm surprised by that as well. As far as I remember, Rosie started out in 2010 and people were using in 2012. Maybe the clustering/splitting didn't support this use-case or it wasn't well-known enough?
Agreed, and the subversion tactics tried before have gone through refinement and people put into key positions to make 2020 look like a garden party.
Agreed. Every election it loses in the meantime will amp up resentment and aggravate the USA's political dysfunction. I think of it as a counterpart of Brexit, which had similar populist drivers, and was something the country just had to get out of its system, despite the steep attendant economic and social costs.

That's a good idea, I was considering it, looked at their pricing, but was too expensive.

Also, I'm starting to dislike having everything go through Cloudflare (all my DNS). I don't dislike the company, I just don't like one entity controlling the entire internet. I don't want even more vendor-lock-in tbh.

I'm gravitating towards the failover solution, to have a VPS do health-checks on my services, if one goes down, use the Cloudflare API to update the DNS entries to the backup servers.
Fifteen years ago I went to a museum exhibit on Reggio Emilia teaching methods that I still think about once a week or so. (Reggio Emilia is similar to Montessori in that it is child-led exploration but different in that encourages multiple cross-modal forms of expression to aid comprehension.)

The Reggio Emilia exhibit featured children performing a cross-modal exercise of drawing the sounds of various types of shoes walking down stairs to illustrate the "Hundred Languages of Children" concept. It showed how kids translate auditory experiences into visual ones - high heels would been drawn with spikey patterns and construction boots would be big wavey ones. This is reminiscent of the Bouba-Kiki effect. But other smaller nuances such as duration translating to span and loudness to magnitude.

I took away a fascinating insight from childhood cognition: children effortlessly bridge sensory modalities, an ability that often diminishes in adults to the point that asking an adult to “draw this sound” or “build something that feels like this smell” is met with a blank look but which a child is often completely game to try. Tasking an adult with a cross-modal assignment literally does not compute.

This cross-modal perception revealed that children possess a remarkable synesthetic intuition, using diverse forms of expression to understand and interpret the world—an ability I had completely forgotten as an adult, which hindered my communication with young children in early education environments.

It highlighted the importance of nurturing cross modal communication styles and once one notices it (like in say Mr. Rogers opening ritual to use multiple queues to engage children’s parasympathetic nervous system) one unlocks a whole new vocabulary with not just children but adults. It’s been a powerful tool in my creative toolbox since.
I suppose they do deserve credit, but isn’t that degree of objectivity the very least we should expect from our news sources? I’d be shocked to learn that the economist falsified their forecast results.

Panasonic ones go down to 50cfm, which is fine for a bedroom. That being said, everything in construction comes down to “it depends” because there is so much variability including just in execution. In California for instance there are mechanical whole home ventilation requirements, but those requirements are quite low and are commonly ineffective for the OPs goal depending on how the system is arranged. Same thing goes for the ERV.

Often times the best way to solve the OPs problem is just to run the central fan (assuming there is central air) as that will exchange bedroom air with the rest of the house, which assuming the house is significantly larger than the bedroom, will basically solve the problem.

If you are going to do an ERV I would recommend adding a filter box for allergens/dust/etc assuming the ERV you select doesn’t have one built in. Not expensive, it’s just a sheet metal box you put filters in, HVAC guys buy and make them all the time.

If you want to spend even less money, and don’t have central air, you can install a bathroom fan in the ceiling/wall of the bedroom, and have it vent to the rest of the house but this takes a bit of thought with regards to airflow and how the air will mix. But even if all you are doing is effectively doubling the volume of your bedroom, that makes a big difference.

I'd read the linked article very critically:

1. It's an opinion piece, not evidence-based and peer-reviewed research.

2. It's written by a lobbyist who's parent organization gets funding in part from neo-reactionaries, including the Charles G. Koch Foundation.

3. The same author argues elsewhere for Europe and the U.S. to "put all their climate ambitions in the back burner, refine more oil and cooperate to deliver it quickly and effectively"; cf. https://web.archive.org/web/20220908091610/https://la-chroni....

4. The opinion piece cites another opinion piece written by the same author for Newsmax, a non-credible far-right media company.

5. It also cites "Five Misperceptions Surrounding the Environmental Impacts of Single-Use Plastic," published in _Environmental Science and Technology_, an impactful peer-reviewed scientific journal, but the article is not without its detractors and must be read critically as well; cf. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.est.0c07842.

6. The opinion piece redundantly cites a web page written by the author of "Five Misperceptions...". Said web page makes the same arguments as the ES&T article.

7. The opinion piece quotes a number of unrelated facts and figures.
The remainder of the quote is “in the next 20 years”.

> Never did I expect so many dorks to turn to the dark side like this in my life. :/

I think this is a little overly optimistic about “dorks”, but I will also note the shift in the ratio of dorks to business people.

I’ve recently seen backlash against the term “tech bro”. Bill Burr recently called it out as a bullshit title to separate the bad actors from oneself, but I’ve always held it identifies a class of interest in the tech sector.

University fraternities get large sums of money from alumni and as such are financially motivated to put their pledges in degrees of that result in high paying positions.

In the 70s this was law, the 80s it was finance, 90s it was medicine, 00s it became tech.

6 figure entry level position for someone without any knowledge of an if statement were du jour for this group of people and so they flooded in. Bringing their ideals and sociopathy with them.

Woz is a dork and the brains that built apple, but his narrow interests allowed the business end to make the globally affecting decisions and we are still suffering the consequences.
This just seems like a longer version of the HN comments I see in every single AI related post. No such thing as a hallucination, LLMs don't really "understand" therefore they can neither say truths nor lies just like autocorrect can't be honest or dishonest, it "just" chooses a token from a probability distribution, etc.

I see this every day. I'm pretty sure most of us who have even a slight interest in AI know the gist of how LLMs work. I'm not sure about what difference it makes in practice.
My first proglang, at age 7, was MSX-LOGO. English is not my first language, but this language was translated to my mother tongue, and came with an instruction book in my mother tongue. So I could get started, all by myself, at a rather young age.

After getting the fundamentals down in MSX-LOGO, I learned BASIC and some part of English at the same time: learning BASIC made learning English fun. This was before I had any classes in English.

I hoped MSX-BASIC allowed me to make fast running programs, but it did not. It was not until many years later that I got introduced to open source. Now I has access to compilers, libraries, languages: everything I needed to make fast programs.

Aware of my new found powers I decided to build a modern version of MSX-LOGO: an integrated programming environment for learning purpose in which the syntax is translated to the mother tongue of the programmer. I got it into the KDE project so it would be translated.

Tada:

I've met several people who's first experience with programming was with KTurtle in a language other than English (it's currently translated in 25+ languages)

If we want to have a rich open source ecosystem we better make the on-ramp for new contributors are easy as can be. In this way I wanted to give back (help strengthen) the open source commons.
English vowels are weird compared to most continental European languages, to be fair.
JavaScript was originally developed in two weeks due to time constraints from Brendan Eich's employer. It would probably have just as many design mistakes if he had stuck with a scheme-like syntax instead. It's just hard to create a well-designed language in such a short amount of time.
In Hebrew too, most famously Ishimoto sounds like Ish (guy) 'im (with) Otto (car) so is considered a good name for a driver. I'll leave you to figure out why Sakimkaki is a good word for "diaper", and yes, I know that can't be japanese because of the m, but most Hebrew speakers don't.

The article states:

Update: Like I mentioned above, in the weeks since I fleshed out this draft Armbian came out with an Ubuntu Noble version with improved MESA/VPU support, but I haven’t had time to test it yet. I’ll update this post when I do.

Which is what I’m asking. The article doesn’t contain information on media transcoding with Armbian, and I asked the question to learn whether there is more info on that. Otherwise, OrangePi’s image already does what I want.

Video encoding has a lot of patents attached to it, so the access to that IP block is not always open source due to plethora of reasons. It’s a very non-ideal situation for non-embedded use, hence the question.

Most van / RV setups have an inverter but I agree, DC is best.
Higher frequencies carry more energy, also every human has a sense of waveforms. It's called "sound".
Tonality and sound differentiation are deeply important to speech as well as for recognizing animals. Then there's music, of course :)

But I guess you were getting at some sort of synaesthesia?

Indeed an interesting question how that is related.

I was referring to waveforms because of the duality with sound
Thinking ahead, as the atmospheric outdoor level keeps climbing, ventilation will become insufficient to achieve a desired target indoor level. Air conditioning suffers from the extreme version of the same problem. Yes, the cost is substantial if using Soda Lime.

Amines are traditionally used instead in a closed loop system, but they are corrosive and unsafe for use at home, although refrigerators and ACs too make use of similar loops. GPT says that some non-corrosive common amino acid salts can be used instead, but I find it difficult to believe.

I would say the lesson is just use AWS which has outstanding support. Building backups yourself, going multi cloud or else just erase the benefit of CF. If you do this you can just run on a bare metal and save on cloud cost.
Well, it is about things to prepare before being in this situation, I acknowledged already that it was unhelpful now, since it is too late. It is advice for other business deciders looking at this, or for this one for changes to implement in the future.

Sometimes the plan is "well, this business had a good run, now it is over".

Sometimes it can be as cheap as "well, here's the documentation to run all my stuff elsewhere, starting from my external backups"

Depends on how much money you lose from a failure and how likely the failure is. As an additional point, you may not plan for s3 going down, but even a price hike on egress traffic may put a business in trouble if trying to move without already having external backups. So, as often, you have to do some cost/risk analysis. But having backups not controlled by your main provider is often considered a good idea.

Technical problems, human error, cost changes, various disagreements between provider and customer, can all be made easier if you have a plan B rather than being stuck with a single provider or solution
What problem are you trying to solve with replicated storage?

A lot of times, finding a solution further up the stack or settling for backups ends up being more robust and reliable. Many folks have been burnt by all the fun failure scenarios of replicated filesystems.
Woah this is awesome, added it to my wishlist.

Torque (at the wheel) does matter as well as power. With a hub motor, the gear ratio is typically fixed so you're at the mercy of the motor characteristics, but driven through the chain, you can change it. I used to have a low powered hub motor e-bike and it was fast but pretty useless at accelerating from stopped or climbing hills. At these very low speeds, an optional low gear would have put the motor in a higher power point on its speed-torque curve.

Though perhaps you're saying these motors are so over-rated that even close to stall torque, their reduced power output is still 250W? That would be an efficiency loss but not a power loss since they're not allowed to deliver full power at higher speeds.
What's wrong with error node in the ast?

As someone who uses AI, as a tool, every single day, I call bullshit.

If you understand limitations of current AI, it is an exceptionally useful tool. Just have realistic expectations and understand how to use the tool for what it has to offer.

If you expect the tool to have all of the answers and get everything 100% right, then you should not be using it at all. But don't preach your beliefs to the rest of us who are able to get tremendous value out of it.

Page 7 of the linked FCC application says:

Presumably, when people talk about "running it from DC power" they mean a standard 12V automotive power supply, which would require a 12V to 30V step-up converter to replace the supplied AC adapter.
