Cargodist isn't the same as what I'm describing. It creates destinations for cargo and passengers based on the existing network you have. In other words, "demand" is changed to fit your playstyle.

In regular Simutrans, passengers want to go to a specific destination regardless of whether your network allows them to go there. This means you have to change your playstyle to fit what passengers want to do, since otherwise, people won't take trips.

I believe Simutrans handles this better. If you're someone who wants to go to Europe but the only plane ticket you can buy is to South America, you won't take that trip (Simutrans model). But in OpenTTD, passenger demand is basically "yeah I just want to go somewhere" and then you deliver them to Antarctica. Cargodist means that if you now offer service to Greenland, they'll evenly distribute themselves between Antarctica and Greenland.

I'm more of a product-minded person so I prefer Simutrans. Demand is the constant I want to optimize around; I don't want demand to be optimized around my transport network. But this also creates a much more difficult game.
Sorry I didn't mean to imply that learning isn't part of play, I just don't believe the end goal of life is to "train". I think if you're an AI researcher it would make sense that life is about training. However I think it's just fashion.

I always think if we could built an AGI, it would probably enjoy some form of play too. It would need to invent some level of excitement, else it would just be a machine with no ambition, no inspiration.

I'm definitely in the good enough local minimum, I think it's just because I'm older now and futzing with configs doesn't excite me as much as it used to as a younger man. I do love the stability and wide coverage of all my needs though, I never need another text editor in my life.
You're 100% right, the first instinct a programmer would have as a codec dev is "gee we def don't need that many bits to encode pure black frames"

I can't wrap my mind around this article and exactly what's going on because AFAIK VBR has been default ~forever. You don't even need multipass for that because you just have to look ahead N frames, it was received wisdom, statistically backed, as far back as 2007 that multipass was a waste of time because it was extremely marginally, like .0001%, better than just doing VBR, and using CBR was really dumb and wrong unless you had very specific edge case technical needs. I can't even remember what, maybe poorly designed initial H.264 decoders or people feeding into legacy broadcast system

Only problem is that vim doesn't work with LSP. It is a broken tool.

Easy check proving absolutely that it is broken:

1. Create a new wails project with `wails init -n myproject -t svelte-ts`
2. Create a svelte file and use a function defined in app.go
3. Run `wails dev` to compile and run the app
4. Delete the function from app.go

Result: The svelte file which imports the function generated from app.go doesn't show any errors even thought the function doesn't exist anymore.

So use VS Code or Sublime which actually work with LSP without issues.

Don't use broken tools for your work.
Thats a good idea. Portfolio of your own verified consumer sentiments.

Quick check: iPhone 1 was $500 at launch. Apple shares were $5, apple stocks 41x'd since. If you bought the same amount in shares you'd have $20k, not bad.

> And our reality is one where more pedestrians and bicyclists are getting killed on U.S. streets than at any time in the past 45 years – over 1,000 bicyclists and 7,500 pedestrians in 2022 alone

It links to https://www.iihs.org/topics/fatality-statistics/detail/yearl... for that 7500 pedestrians in 2022 figure.

Yet on that very same page there is a table of pedestrian and bicyclist deaths going back to 1975, which shows that 1977-1981 all had more pedestrian deaths (7732, 7795, 8096, 8070, and 7837) than 2022 (7522). Several of those years are within the last 45 years.

For bicyclists 2022 is indeed the biggest year just edging out 1977 (1084 vs 1003).

This might be forgiven as just being a little sloppy. If he'd just have said "past 40 years" instead of "past 45 years" then it would have been accurate.

But wait...the US population was 338 million in 2022, and around 220 million in 1979. We really should look at rates.

2020 pedestrian deaths per 100k population were 2.22. They were above that every year from 1975-1991. Same for bicyclists--every year from 1975-1991 was higher than 2020.

For pedestrians the rates peaked in 1979 at 3.76 then declined fairly linearly to 1.33 in 2009, then rose again fairly linearly to 1.95 in 2020, then jumped a bit to 2.22 for 2021 and 2022. Same pattern for bicyclists.

Here's a graph of the rates by year [1]. The bicyclist rates are per 1m instead of per 100k to make them easier to read.

Were you attempting to post a different link? That study points a pretty strong negative correlation with corn syrup.

...Diabetes prevalence was 20% higher in countries with higher availability of HFCS compared to countries with low availability, and these differences were retained or strengthened after adjusting for country-level estimates of body mass index (BMI), population and gross domestic product (adjusted diabetes prevalence=8.0 vs. 6.7%, p=0.03; fasting plasma glucose=5.34 vs. 5.22 mmol/L, p=0.03) despite similarities in obesity and total sugar and calorie availability. These results suggest that countries with higher availability of HFCS have a higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes independent of obesity.

I think a bunch of people were introduced to Vim by Luke Smith, Geohotz and primeagen around 5 years ago. I wanted to be one of the cool guys using Vim but it took a while to admit it that except for Vim keybindings Vim wasn't doing much for me. Vim is less of an editor and more of a system and I struggled to adopt Vim completely or introduce Vim approach to other systems. If I need to write a document in word or google docs and colloborate with other people Vim keybindings was a distraction. I have to write the content in Vim and then transfer it to docs. Vim makes editing documents difficult. It is not friendly to people who make constant typos as character traversal is not part of it's design. Vim appeals to a very niche group of people who are working on a personalized environment and are comfortable with the idea of daily struggle for the promise of progressive productivity. Vim people are different kind of people.

After trying out every text editor out there, I think sublime text (vintage mode enabled), VS code (with Vim plugin) and liteXL are the generally useful editors and provides a better user experience then vim and terminal based Vim variants. Even though I do not use Vim, my hot take is that if you are installing Vim plugins from the get-go you are missing the point Vim. Vim is not like the GUI editors and you should not attempt making it that way. That defeats the purpose of Vim and makes using vim more like an agenda.

While drug discovery may be the most lucrative opportunity overall, production costs remain significant in pharma, especially for biologics and cell therapies, and breakthroughs in these areas are well worth pursuing. CAR-T treatments, which use similar technologies to cultured meat, have manufacturing costs of $95,000-$156,000 per dose [0].

For generics and biosimilars, more efficient production could be a major competitive advantage. The fact that we haven't seen breakthroughs in this area, despite clear financial motivation, suggests these are not easily solvable problems.

Companies going bankrupt has nothing to do with my opinion. That's your thing. My opinion is that "the best humanity has to offer" is practically unachievable. I can show 50 examples of human output that are suboptimal. Can you show even one example that could not be improved? If not, assertions about the best humanity has to offer aren't based on evidence, are they?
I tried to get all-in on Neovim, but unfortunately VSCode is just too powerful now, and too convenient. I like their defaults, I'm used to their shortcuts, you can customize it easily (extensions, tasks with custom parsing of the output for example). You can even connect through remote machines with it. And you can use it in a browser. At this point it's more ubiquitous than Neovim.

I think the hip thing to do is just use your spare time to build stuff, and organically learn from building stuff. Self-sufficiency, creativity and generally being a self-starter is what's hip. More time spent building translates into an incentive to pickup tricks and relying on yourself to find hip solutions to actual problems.
Personally I think having a society that has a mix of educational background is desirable. I don’t really expect a national emergency that can only be averted my mobilizing our collective underwater basket weaving expertise, but I do think in a general sense it’s good for society to hedge its bets and invest some amount in a wide variety of expertise. Career prospects are already a good incentive for people to study in demand fields. Having a few underwater basket weavers is still a gain for everyone in society.

On top of that, in the US a lot of time in an undergraduate program is spent on general education. Someone who’s degree is in underwater basket weaving still has more education in general than a person without a degree, and that’s also good for society.
The ? is not really the issue here. Rust is similar to C++ in that it encourages implicit resource management using scopes, so if you have resources that have to be free'd, you have to implement Drop somewhere.

The code would have looked just as correct and would have been just as wrong with the "old" non-sigil `try!(...)` syntax.

I don't really get it. I thought oh yeah I guess I buy expensive for my income so why not. But if I want a bag I research to try and find the best one for me, not for prestige. Same with every item. I guess people buy fancy watches and jewellery, and that's fine, but what I can't imagine is having all that money, meaning you have freedom to do pretty much whatever you like, and spending that freedom hanging around a posh clothes store frivolously buying shit in order to ingratiate yourself to buy a bag.

Does what have a practical use? The actual filesystem, or using the typestate pattern to prove the absence of bugs?

The latter is clearly a practical use - no bugs (or at least vastly less likely bugs).

The former is maybe a no since it seems like the authors couldn't achieve their results for "normal" filesystems because they are asynchronous - only for "persistent memory" which is synchronous. I dunno exactly who has persistent memory though. I guess it's stuff like Intel's Optane (which was discontinued)?
Just ask Reddit
Interesting experience. For me, vim (and a pure terminal-based workflow) is my “comfort food” for those days I really need to focus or have gone through an issue and require taking care of myself. Then I will only use vim eg for coding Python or Rust, lynx for browsing etc. I’m not good at all with traditional cli commands so I keep another terminal tab with the ollama cli running codellama and off I go.

> They're in to high fructose corn syrup, processed foods, and sedentary lifestyles.

The problem is that US government subsidies for corn and soy have created an entire class of products that are cheaper than any alternatives.

If we removed those subsidies, there would be far less incentive for companies to use them.
I think it depends on the type of antenna. A linearly polarized RFID antenna is sensitive to the tag's orientation, but a circularly polarized antenna is less sensitive to orientation. Systems can also use more than one RFID antenna to get better coverage.

The trick is to use a metallurgical microscope, which shines the light down through the lens. A regular microscope illuminates from below, which works fine for cells, but not for opaque chips.

> It's 209" long and 76" tall. That's just 10" longer and taller than, say, Tesla Model X.

What is the front-end height of all of these vehicles?

> Pedestrian deaths in the US have risen in recent years. Concurrently, US vehicles have increased in size, which may pose a safety risk for pedestrians. In particular, the increased height of vehicle front-ends may present a danger for pedestrians in a crash, as the point of vehicle contact is more likely to occur at the pedestrian’s chest or head. I merge US crash data with a public data set on vehicle dimensions to test for the impact of vehicle height on the likelihood that a struck pedestrian dies. After controlling for crash characteristics, I estimate a 10 cm increase in the vehicle’s front-end height is associated with a 22% increase in fatality risk. I estimate that a cap on front-end vehicle heights of 1.25 m would reduce annual US pedestrian deaths by 509.

I met a girl who was selling subscriptions for save the children once. Ended up meeting up with her later and asked her about the job. If I had signed up for the thing, paying about $20 a month, she would pocket the first three months. Not sure what her employer would take after that, but knowing they were flying these people around, paying for hotels year round, and probably taking a decent profit on top, I'm guessing I'd be paying for close to a year before any hungry African children would see any money.

They also frame it like you're paying for a specific kid, telling you their story and showing pictures etc, but it's the same picture and story they show everyone. Total scam.

GPT-4 is able to do Leetcode with well over 90% accuracy, and all you have to do is give it a screenshot of the question. It takes another minute or so to find more optimal solutions. It's not the best, but if the entire value of a junior is solving Leetcode Hard questions, then ChatGPT is going to it faster and cheaper.

If you can phrase all programming in the style of a Stack Overflow or Leetcode problem, AI will solve it easily. But that's what's slower than jumping in. A middle ground is writing tests.

It does really badly on Swift and is benchmarked on Python. So there's still blind spots. It can't do frameworks like Ren'Py either.
Given the billions of years of compression involved, these structures could occupy any number of latent spaces with all sorts of different meaning.

If the building would be built anyways using more destructive processes or materials, then perhaps. There’s no guarantee that the building would have been built though. Sure most would probably be built anyways, but at some point the different costs would affect the supply and demand at a macro level.

Nonetheless, it’s ignoring the entire carbon-sequestration system that the tree enables. What percentage of buildings are a net carbon-sink (including construction, use, maintenance and eventual demolition), or improve the naturally occurring carbon-sequestration process by merely existing? Any? I really don’t know. It’d be cool if we were constructing such buildings, but I doubt they’d be as efficient as just leaving old growth forests alone.

Correct. However because ARM has fixed-length instructions the decoder can make more assumptions, keeping the decoder simpler.

While this is also true, the article is more about the direct scam that is fundraising companies. These are in principle separate of the charity, basically running a call center and collecting the funds, and that company pockets 90% of the funds people think they're donating to the charity. Of course the 'charity' is aware of this and is complicit, either because they have no other means of fundraising, or (as seems to be the case in this article) the charity is also a scam, basically just having a good name to plug into the script.

Point is, it's more than just writing off parties and entertainment or high salaries, it's directly taking cash in pocket.

There are existing interoperability standards covering just about every healthcare use case (including price transparency) from organizations like HL7, DirectTrust, ASC X12, NCPDP, CMS, etc. The trouble is that many payer and provider organizations have chosen not to fully implement those standards. Instead they just do the bare minimum to achieve regulatory compliance because it's a cost center, not a revenue driver.

The major EHR vendors are all active participants in open industry standards development. You can literally read the meeting minutes from standards development organizations to see that. But just because they ship a new interoperability feature doesn't mean their customers actually turn it on.
