Sorry, but most car pollution is from the tires/tyres, not the exhaust. Electric cars don't solve that, and may even make it worse because they're heavier.

To be fair, I used to live like two or three miles from school, and we would've had to pay for the bus because I was "too close". So mom dropped me off at like 6:00 AM because we were poor as shit. If we cared about education at all, we wouldn't make families pay for something that I'm pretty sure used to just be free.
It's big, almost 5m long. In Europe it would definitely be classified as a big car, most people have family cars under that, probably around 4.6-4.8m
I don't know how litigous your region is but of all the people you know who have been sued, how many of them got sued for something silly vs a more low effort scheme like the classic throw yourself onto someones car and have 'back pain'? You might be safe to do silly shit on the basis that there are easier and better targets available.
Honestly surprised that Microsoft have not bought this up and integrated it into Visual Studio. LINQPad is gold.
I ought to think university aged adults should be on the point of doing deep conceptual dives on the fields they chose... dive deeper into. I get what you're saying and it makes sense given the realities of CS programs. But I can't help but feeling that freshmen being overwhelmed by SICP is a symptom of a problem and not some limitation of the young adult mind.
Yes, no more machine code. Everything was to be written in BASIC. ...how we laughed at that outlandish idea. It was so obvious performance would be... well... what we have today pretty much.
Except road funding, huge chunks of which come from the federal government (because, big surprise, cities and states can't afford thousands of miles of stroads and highways without invoking a government that can print its own reserve currency).
Normally ~/.local/bin/ is only for installed scripts; locally-written ones go in ~/bin/
Unless it's a public company/non-profit they don't have to make any of this information public in most(all?) US states. Usually all you have to do is make public the name of the company and the registered agent(typically the lawyer you hire to receive legal notices for the company).

>I don't think I did. And no, it wasn't for a class. Please be more considered before throwing out accusations of academic misconduct.

Please throw all of my comment into whatever LLM you used to respond, as I pointed out and explained the academic contextual assumption I made. If you are focusing on my phrase "for a class" here, and this paper was actually for an academic conference or journal, then yes! you have committed academic misconduct.

>f you think AI generated art is plagerism, would you therefore conclude that photoshop's content aware fill is plagerism, since it uses the same AI models?

Absolutely, if you are talking about some of the new ones that use stable diffusion and other visual generative models. It might be fine if you're doing it in a commercial setting and those models' licenses authorize you to do so, but using that for a situation in which the art is assumed to be yours (an art class project or for a commission in which the contract states you are producing it) would be fraud.

>Seems pretty strange to assume my teachers were right given you have no idea what country I went to school in or what their policy was on calculators.

Given that you didn't really dispute my point and rather attacked the grounds for it, and that you invented a false premise of your own (that calculator policies are a per-country thing ???), I'm gonna assume your Australian teachers' policy was applicable to my point.
Just install the keybindings. Then you can use those on any IDE on any OS forever. And Vim, of course. :)
You could try getting familiar with the basics of vim and then continue using your IDE.

This is how I use vim. It’s great for quick edits and ssh boxes but I’m not a fan of maintaining all the plugins and settings manually so I have a barebones vim setup.
So true, people optimize prematuriley for when they'll have 100m monthly users, when they have no product yet and won't likely reach 100k users in many years (which can run on a single $100/m dedicated machine...).
I started using emacs about 8 years ago. Every 6 months or so, I spend 10 minutes learning a new feature and curse myself for not learning it 25 years ago.
The chip seems like it's almost too small? I don't even know how they would cut up the wafer and how they would pick each die and mount it in the paper card.
Because the small car is the same cost as an SUV but worse utility wise. I actually go the other way, I bet the back row of an SUV (or tall hatchback like the Honda Fit) gets more use carrying people or large items than the back row of your average sedan. During growing season I'm constantly schlepping dirt and mulch home. I can fit 5 humans and all our camping supplies no problem. Fit a whole assembled grill in the back we got from FB marketplace.

You get the utility of a truck and van with the MPG of a car, I see why they took over the world. If it weren't for pickup trucks being a cultural icon they would probably have replaced the "workman" vehicle too.
A regrettable name. Everyone who sees it will assume that it's something like 'a startup self-help book'.
> but that outrage wasn’t actually based on anything real

What? This is marketing, if the customer stops buying, nobody gives a flying fuck if it's "real". You think the VP's boss or the shareholders cared if it was "real"? If your job is to sell beer, and you're selling less beer, that's about as real as it gets in this context
I think in this case, correctness can refer to statistical accuracy based on the population being modeled

Remember that's all this is, statistics not a logical program. The model is based on population data
A great story from the dawn of the idea to the realization of the Nokia SymbianOS phones.

The subsequent M$ purchase of that Nokia phone division was one of the biggest damages done by Microsoft to the computing world.
> By asking around, I discovered he was using vim

Now I would just give ChatGPT a screenshot and have it describe what’s being used on screen
That makes sense given that a huge chunk of modern English is derived from Norman French.
What about a “we will remember it for you wholesale” version of the gum experience - you pay money and are then implanted with memories that are indistinguishable from chewing the gum.
I kinda think this is the end goal for all capitalism - you pay money for nothing.
Also curious if they had any grounds for that. I was under the impression that if you have a camera within your apartment (looking through window), nobody should be able to tell you no.

Unless perhaps the camera was attached outside their window (no longer their apartment), in a way that could be deemed unsafe and fall off and hurt someone, whereupon the building owner could be held liable? In that case I would find it reasonable to tell them to remove it.
I couldn't find a nice price breakdown. I'd expect the magnetic stripe tickets to be cheaper to manufacture, but since the NFC tickets cost pennies, there isn't a lot of money to save. I agree with you that magnetic stripes would have a much higher maintenance cost due to the mechanical aspect and the read/write head. Optical scanning seems less likely to work the first time, based on my experience with airplane checkins. NFC is probably the best from an ecosystem perspective since it can work with credit cards and phones as well. NFC readers are probably the cheapest since they are produced in large volumes for credit card point of sale.
This is just normal. I wouldn't overthink it. If you were truly "aphantasic", you'd know; if you truly had preternatural visualization abilities, you'd know.
How about the choice to be able to walk or cycle in a safe environment?
I use LM studio https://lmstudio.ai/ for my lazy setups. The 10 minutes is used to download the actual models.
>The corn syrup thing is a US-only thing, isn't it?

No, corn syrup is used in food and drinks all over the world.

Personally, I have nothing against corn syrup so long as the sweetness actually tastes nice and appropriate for what I'm consuming.

Corn syrup is also a lot better than artificial sweeteners which all taste like hot garbage and make me literally ill.
Use Fast Data Algorithms (2021)
They'll just move to EV trucks. We need taxes for car sizes (wider lanes needed = money, bigger parking spots needed = money, etc), pedestrian/cyclist safety ratings (more dangerous to pedestrians/cyclists, higher taxes), noise levels and weight (more road wear and tear plus particulate production).
Exactly. Misinformation is just a dog whistle for "conflicts with my preconceived notions".

We now know we were lied to again by the people that always lie to us.
> ... as all tappable objects in my world are made of plastic

yup in mine plastic and metal but not paper.
Does the card not have the three-arcs nfc symbol? Similar to the wifi symbol. To me the fake printed dip-chip is more confusing!
Good point. Biofuels were clearly a bad idea from any angle other than political virtual signaling. Rudimentary energy accounting was sufficient to show it's basically greenwashing the oil sunk into the process rather than harnessing the sun.

> It's about producing any kind of protein whatsoever

Personally I follow fermentation based (bacteria based) proteins with interest, potentially they can have an even smaller footprint than plant based protein.

Like Solein ( https://solarfoods.com/solein/ ), which has now been accepted as safe for human consumption in one country: Singapore.

So they're not always behind the curve.
It looks like it has more to do with the aerodynamics of the hat than the wind. It also hits a ledge on its way down in the video.

It seems like both of these are tractable issues.

A round hat that is spun with a significant initial angular momentum would probably fair better in landing more predictably.
Sometimes I would like to have a small laptop with black and white screen or maybe 8 bit color that would have extreme (measured in days) or almost unlimited battery power (solar cell?). Something that would have a C compiler for happy hacking, though I would like to have a Linux kernel on it. I am not sure about connectivity though.

We made huge efficiency and battery chemistry gains, but software is lacking. Though it would be probably a quite expensive device that only a few want.
The Apollo Guidance Computer would be more radiation-hard, due to its large transistors and magnetic core memory.
It's just the opposite for me. I think ethics is done right in Rimworld. Doing the right thing should never be the efficient option. I have more issue with the constant violence in there though.

Also I dislike Rimworld becaus it's the forever game. I was happy with the early betas which were winnable, but the recent builds just feel like a treadmill with the game always trying to rip down what you've built up.
That's true, but I'm honestly not sure what you think that has to do with this.

Is your theory that demand is higher in the US and that's why the prices are higher?

I don't see any reason to think that would be the case for a product that is very easy to transport globally. That is, absent other effects, like regulation and the differences between how insurance works in different places, I think this would be a global market with prices driven by global demand.
They are going away soon (TM), the tech is cool but they are impractical. I will be happy to use my credit card or phone.

Too many times I have been stuck in 15-20 minutes queues to buy those tickets and you cant refill them with an app... Plus south shore and north shore have they own system it's a mess.
A computer or a home that uses more energy has externalities for others that certainly aren't covered by your electricity bills alone. Taxpayers pay for new power plants, everybody pays for emissions, etc. Almost everything has externalities that aren't fully accounted for in the sticker price, because it would be insanely complicated to do that kind of accounting, let alone do it in a way we can all agree on.

If you think the math for cars is uniquely bad, I think that's a reasonable position, although I suspect it's pretty myopic. The externalities of cheap consumer goods from China, or of a clothes dryer or an AC unit, are pretty terrible too.

The math aside, there is a huge risk to this sort of hyper-rational accounting. It's probably not cost-effective for the society to medically prolong the lives of people over the age of 50. There are many squishy, hard-to-parametrize overriding considerations for policy decisions, and if we accept it for our lifestyles, we should probably at least try to understand what they are for other lifestyles too.

I had a Zenith 42" plasma (maybe Zenith Z42PX2D?) for about 10 years before the screen became insanely noisy and LG OLEDs hit the market. Really an amazing display though, at "tv distance" (6 to 8ft) the 852x480 resolution was not at all noticeable as "low resolution".

What I actually found was dog-shit quality video looked AMAZING on it, as did downsampled high-res video -- I had a media center pc hooked up via DVI, and off it went.

I replaced it with a 1080p 55" OLED in 2014 or 15 when it became unwatchable, and it's been incredible as well aside from very rare, short instances of judder.. As per my Zenith experience above, I figured lower-res (not 4k) would be better in the long run.

Curious to see how long it lasts, but it's still very bright and very good almost a decade later, no burn-in, no dead pixels, and it's on constantly.
Think of learning emacs features as catching pokemon. You must catch a few hundred before you think of slowing down. Else you easily stall in a limbo of "good enough".
My point is that it’s only hard to know that if you create that problem yourself in rails, with some exceptions in ActiveSupport. The system just allows you to make that mistake, but experienced practitioners generally will not do that.
The IOMMU on Apple Silicon only supports 16K pages. The page allocator on Linux only supports unified page sizes. Ergo, to make both IOMMU mappings and userland software work, everything needs to have 16K pages (on OSX, this isn't an issue, because XNU supports mapping both 4k and 16k pages).

It's not really non-standard so much as it is new-standard or different-standard. Aarch64 officially supports 4K, 16K, and 64K pages. This flexibility in the aarch64 ABI means that most compilers already produce 64K aligned load segments for aarch64, so it's not a huge deal except for software that works at a low level and makes assumptions about mmap (for example).

The main software that's truly affected beyond just needing recompilation or tweaks is x86/x86-64 emulation software, since x86 is pretty tightly coupled to 4k pages.
I think every coder starts off wanting to be one of the "cool kids", but then later matures into a "what works for me" rhythm - similar to a high school vs. college experience. The vi/vim/emacs drama just feels like high school to me.

No, the card doesn't have any symbols like that. It does have a pictogram of the card getting tapped on a reader, along with the text "Apposez sur le lecteur".
So how do people handle this in practice if the users table in this example has a ton of traffic? It might not ever succeed even with exponential backoff. It also seems strange that Postgres would need to lock the entire table just to add a new column.
By your standards, most of the world outside the US does not innovate, which makes sense since if they did, the tech would be bought up by a US company anyways
I mean if you’re turning carbon into wood and then turning that into buildings that’s good right
This!

I don't need to turn vim into an IDE, and nor do I want to. However VIM is an amazing tool that's worth learning on its own merit. It's the text editor that's everywhere you need it to be, and I have never had an admin say "NO" to adding it into a box or environment to work/test.
This is some really glorified PR that's either dumbed down or extremely excessive in attributing basic insights and algorithms to Netflix itself

I got into programming/software by encoding my cough well-sourced cough movies/TV shows to MP4 for my iPod video.

Far be it from me, maybe it's insufferably geeky detail, but the slow decade-long march described as "gee each movie is different" and "gee each scene is different" followed by Herculean work of FAANGers insufficiently appreciated by creative types was solved by VBR years upon years earlier. (VBR = variable bit rate)

Once you're getting to "we'll use ML as a VBR algorithm!", that's original, but the problems described and solution was understandable and solvable by a 18 year old non-programmer in 2007 with free software.

VBR wasn't some niche thing either, it's a very very obvious optimization I've never seen a codec miss, from MP3 audio to MP4 video. There's no caveats here or haughtiness or flippant "Dropbox is rsync + my weekend" dismissiveness on my part. It wasn't news to _anyone_, it's a very obvious optimization that was applied by everyone

I'd be veeeeery curious if there was much contribution here beyond using x264, occasionally with patches, and then engineering a pipeline around it
There is no vi/emacs drama. Everyone's largely nice to each other.
> the once-touted environmental advantages have turned out to be marginal at best.

Would love to see an article about this if you have one. Just curious is all.
But the area under control by the invoking user is data over one socket vs the whole calling environment e.g. environment vars, local files. Surely that counts for something.
If you have NoScript, note that the article will be invisibly cut off. It should continue with

"AI-enabled tools and weapons are not just being deployed in exercises. They are also in use on a growing scale in places like Gaza and Ukraine. Armed forces spy remarkable opportunities. They also fear being left behind by their adversaries. Spending is rising fast (see chart 1). But lawyers and ethicists worry that AI will make war faster, more opaque and less humane. The gap between the two groups is growing bigger, even as the prospect of a war between great powers looms larger. ..." and is ~3600 words total.

I prefer "Why did I need to see this subtlest detail to resolve the bug, modern software sucks" and "Why do we not have better tools that would have prevented me from writing this bug in the first place, modern software sucks".

Yes, just 2% of diet as seaweed essentially eliminates methane emissions. But there's no price on methane emissions for the farmer so no incentive to do so.
Am working on a similar piece so this is a bit biased, but it’s a known problem on the web everyone ignores for financial reasons. Don’t bother fixing cookie notices, there’s no money in that.

The frustrating part is Google could end this tomorrow if they wanted to as they are still the dominant web gatekeeper, except they also own the ad network so they’re not going to bother as all these garbage sites just increase ad revenue. So much for competition.

The fact that the government agencies explicitly suggest to use adblockers tells you everything.
> it's extremely better than Dominos

Yes when compared with napolitana, but average pizza in Italy is just as meh. Hotdog pizza at least tried to innovate. NY style pizza is on par with napolitana (and far better value for money). Italy gets all of its pepperoni from US. What never ceases to entertain me how much Italians try to get offended by it or how pizza experts try to disagree with me.
Even from a systems perspective there are more tools available in Python. Pyroute2 vs netlinkrb which was last updated 8 years ago and only does a few things. It’s sad because ruby had the potential, but ruby developers prefer to focus on the Rails ecosystem.
> the prosecution of Trump in New York cemented my vote choice [for Trump]

That's a shame. Here's another perspective: Trump has made a career out of, so to speak, defiantly driving as fast as he wants, whenever and wherever he wants. This time, he's gotten a big ticket for going 90 in a 70 mph zone on an interstate highway — sure, it's not a school zone, but it's hard to see the ticket as political persecution.

(And let's not forget that the judge in the NY case bent over backwards to be fair to Trump — not to mention that the jurors, each of whom Trump's defense counsel had a chance to strike, were unanimous about all 34 felony counts.)
No what?

Paragraph 7 acknowledges what the parent comment mentioned, that other species use very little oxygen.

The title says this one needs none. The 2nd paragraph says:

Singapore is a rich nation with tiny amounts of land, so it might make sense there even if not other places.

Huh... I figured that china would account for most of their food imports, but that's not actually the case.

https://wits.worldbank.org/CountryProfile/en/Country/SGP/Yea...

Surprisingly France and the UK are high up there, despite being geographically distant industrialized countries (e.g., not primarily based on agriculture). I wonder if this is because this is showing dollar value imports and these places export high cost food products? ... is it just champagne from France?

Edit: oh my god it is champagne (or more generally spirits: https://tradingeconomics.com/singapore/imports/france)
