That's an interesting set of stats, but it's not decisive. Some alternative explanations:

- The stats are just plain wrong, even at a surface-level inspection. They suggest that over 20yrs you'd have 3 fires for every 10 ICE vehicles ever sold. I ought to know 50 people in my current company who have had a car burn down, 30 in my last company, 5 in my extended family who I'm close with, 100 in a slightly wider net of acquaintances, .... I know 0. I highly doubt _anyone_ in the country comes close to having seen the "right" number of ICE fires, outside of firemen and people who otherwise gravitate toward such problems intentionally.

- The problem mostly isn't gasoline; it's shoddy manufacturing, especially wiring. How do the stats look if you ignore Hyundai and other particularly low quality manufacturers? Normalized by miles driven (which is closer to what ought to be correct), the delta is 10x rather than 100x. That's roughly the delta between how often a BMW breaks down vs a Toyota, so as a coarse estimate you might expect the data to be entirely explained by having the wrong denominator (cars vs miles) and the fact that you're just comparing different tiers of manufacturer.

- Back to the "denominator" issue, which is always a problem with normalized statistics. If your baseline isn't that each car has an equal chance to burn down for each mile driven, but that older cars are more likely to burn down because rust and other degredation allows for water infiltration and electrical fires, the older ICE fleet would naturally generate the reported stats.

- Back to the "denominator" issue, per car sold this year is maybe correct, per car ever sold is maybe correct, per currently running car over 20yo is maybe correct, per mile per one of the previous items is maybe correct, .... You really want to see the stats broken down by those categories, and to help avoid fishing for hypotheses to then come up with other testable ideas to examine for each interesting subcategory you find.

- It's always worth mentioning with EVs that the distributions aren't directly comparable. You have different populations driving the cars in different places from their ICE alternatives. Similarly to the previous point, you want to see results broken down at least by crude demographics. It matters more for self-driving safety claims, but it might be relevant here.

I think there's a deeper issue to identify here: this model means that you and your team are 2 or less weeks from "failure" AT ALL TIMES. There's a psychic cost associated with that that doesn't really facilitate creative work.

Can code using a library that doesn't exist compile? I admit ignorance here.
a part of the "justice" system is not just to get justice for victims who have been wronged but its also to get justice for the guilty, to make them understand their wrongs and feel that they should be punished

to infuriate people with petty bureaucracy and form-filling as an extremely dangerous gotcha-game does not make them feel like the system actually does them "justice". punishments are meant to bring someone back into society, but if they go into that punishment thinking they were wronged by the process itself, its only making it worse for everyone
> Too many people willing to cheat the system, and the government doesn't sweat the small stuff.

The government is far more likely to sweat the small stuff. They'll happily pay $20k in staffing to prosecute a $1k theft, because it doesn't hit their profits/bonuses at all to do so.

> Michael Crowley investigated fraud for more than a decade for three companies, including Humana and United. The flood of fraud was so great, he said, that investigators ignored suspect claims worth less than $300. Investigating those, the companies determined, would cost more than what they could recover, he said.

> But those small claims add up. Williams, the personal trainer from Texas, billed insurers in increments of $300 and under for more than four years, and it added up to about $25 million. “If you’re a provider, you’re going to figure out that threshold real quick and stay under it,” Crowley said.
At least visiting other parts of Manhattan -- I'm thinking for example LES -- there is definitely constant traffic and exhaust. Doesn't really matter if it's gridlock or not, moving cars emit more sound and fumes than idling cars do.

I feel like architecture has almost nothing to do with the low level task of coding, and more to do with organizing the order of operations which stem from the business level requirements, and identifying the services that will be used. Architecture is also useful for documenting how things work in a system, and then passing that understanding to anyone that is interested in the future.

I think part of the confusion is that food anaphylaxis isn't automatic death sentence in all cases, but the risk is that it could be. I have a peanut allergy and carry an epipen. I've been exposed ~5 times in my life but it never was severe enough to deploy it, and instead took benadryl and closely monitored it with epipen in hand and 911 on speed dial. I also know people who eat their allergen occasionally because they just get hives and it's worth it as a treat, and I know people who had severe asthma in minutes after a cross-contamination and needed the epi.

It's just game theory. It's like asking how many metaphorical empty barrels do you want to add to your Russian roulette revolver before you are willing to risk it, the reward being basically "ordinary food". Oh and the risk can suddenly one day go from just causing hives to severe anaphylaxis at a much smaller dose.

Most people who learn of a sensitivity (I learned in elementary school after breaking out in hives from doing art involving peanut shells, the horror to think this is something schools just did!) just don't want to know that badly how dire their allergy is and assume it's life threatening, because it's not worth it to be cavalier.
ISS Astronauts Take Shelter After Russian Spacecraft Breaks Up in Orbit
Gravitational waves detectors, just like any kind of antennas have anisotropic sensitivity. By having multiple detectors with different orientations you can determine the source of the signal. But you can't aim them, no, at least not any current or planned ones. They are simply too big (many kilometers) and require extreme stiffness.

Everybody knows of LIGO, but it's actually three detectors that work together, LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA.

Commercial pilot here. Instead of climate change, we should be talking about continuous descent profiles (CDPs) that have become more common in the past years 5-10 years. These profiles with idle engines allow for a smoother, more fuel-efficient descent by reducing the need for level-off segments. However, CDPs can increase the perception of turbulence during descent. This is because aircraft remain at higher altitudes for longer periods, where atmospheric instability and wind shear are more pronounced. This increased turbulence is not due to climate change but rather the result of these optimized descent procedures aimed at reducing fuel consumption and minimizing environmental impact.
Can you give an example? In my experience these cases are often trivial to fix, and React provides some solid documentation on how to solve these: https://react.dev/learn/removing-effect-dependencies

There absolutely might be cases that can’t be solved, so I’m hoping to break out of my bubble and learn what they are!
I always thought this way until I listened to Mayor Brainerd talk about how cities invest in poverty which results in an expansion of poverty, which manifests as low tax income and increased expenses, which limits the city's ability to invest in growth.

It's a law that limits what ByteDance, a foreign company run by a foreign government, can own and operate on US soil. Nothing in the constitution enshrines a right for a foreign company or government.

It seems like the two things you quoted contradict each other. 3 years and a team of experts in their field doesn't really sound affordable or effective unless it's scaled up quickly and it's efficacy actually demonstrated somehow.
Hi,
Yes AI merely acts as an interface, not part of the algorithm. It's because trying to add everything as a UI, I personally find it challenging.
Also the options can exponentially grow. In the future I plan to add more sophisticated features as in

"- Do not add Clothes over Shoes, while Shoes and Buttons can be stacked over each other but do not exceed 140 cm height."

This in turn can be translated into a json level config but it is difficult to acquire user input with plain forms.

There are 2 different algorithms. One is adding each box partitions space into 3 and those spaces are recursively filled. Eventually the problem is reduced to finding the correct permutation of boxes along with their correct orientation.

That is primarily derived by simulated annealing of which I had good experience
with combinatory problems. Also some magic heuristics which I also don't fully understand takes into play :)
If they had contacted a defense attorney, does that also speak poorly to their character and should be held against them? Certainly that's something a criminal who knew they were guilty would do.

I'm of the same opinion when I see the dime a dozen Mercedes or BMW in the middle/middle upper class ends of town. I can understand getting an AMG Merc or M series BMW if you have the money, but the average luxury brand 60 to 80k car that is parked every other parking spot with the owner maxxed out on leverage just seems foolhardy to me.

chuckle I can certainly understand the urge to introduce bugs (I've been sorely tempted to do far worse), but for the sake of humanity don't open yourself up to lawsuits or criminal prosecution.

There's a simple (but not easy) fix to this. After 30 days of no movement, permits are issued automatically and any fees paid are returned out of that department's budget, regardless of where the permit fees actually go.

The default response to government inaction is typically a) the citizen can't do whatever thing they're trying to do without violating the law, and b) nothing bad happens to the bureaucrats not doing their jobs. If those two things inverted you'd see government become more efficient overnight.
I agree. HSV is the opposite of intuitive to me. But "intuitive" is subjective, and HSV encoding does, as you point out, make certain types of operations much easier than RGB encoding does (and vice versa).

In the end, I think it's just a case of use the type of encoding that is appropriate for what, specifically, you're doing.

They say that the plan is to use existing radiation detectors at ports. Another article [1] mentions that the isotope emits Gamma rays, one of the types of radiation that can be detected by a Geiger - Muller tube.

> LIGO can't point to specific locations in space
Since LIGO doesn’t need to collect light from stars or other objects or regions in space, it doesn't need to be round or dish-shaped like optical telescope mirrors or radio telescope dishes. Nor does it have to be steerable, i.e., able to move around to point in a specific direction. Instead, each LIGO detector consists of two 4 km (2.5 mi.) long, 1.2 m-wide steel vacuum tubes arranged in an "L" shape (LIGO's laser travels through these arms), and enclosed within a 10-foot wide, 12-foot tall concrete structure that protects the tubes from the environment.

> A mirror at the vertex of the arms splits a single light beam into two, directing each beam down an arm of the instrument
Mirrors at the ends of the arms reflect the beams back to their origin point where they are recombined to create an interference pattern called 'fringe

Is the boom over? I don't see a lot of companies posting declining revenue. Seems to me most everybody is still breaking new records every quarter.
Yes, I'm not really in the market for a vehicle, so I'm not aware of what's really available. But I'd think anyone can make something like a Maverick; in fact, I'd rather buy something like that from Toyota or Honda. You'd think that if Ford has proven the demand, others might get in and accept a little less margin - that's what economics would suggest after all.

The base system does not need a Firewall, according to them, and they might be correct about that or not.

IMHO the point of having a firewall which simply denies all incoming connections is, that once a user starts installing a few programs, sooner or later some of them might open ports, even w/o malicious intent.

If they want to provide an easy to use and secure system, IMHO there should be a firewall and each port has to be opened explicitly.

In the end, this is really down to opinion and there is no objective true answer, so I'd rather use Fedora-Atomic if I need immutability.
So true. What I've been doing is rotating myself through different parts of the organization on projects that need a big schema/performance improvement. And hoping to have imparted some interest and knowledge in maintaining good schema design and performance along the way.

I moved to the financial district a couple of years ago and I was very happy to find how anti car parts of it can be. I pretty much never hear any street traffic where I live. The narrow streets mean lots of places it isn’t covered in parked cars, there’s low to seemingly no traffic on the weekends, the closed streets around the exchange area is basically a big dog park after working hours.

Intuitively, it would seem that one wouldn't 'aim' a gravitational wave detector. The inputs are omnidirectional, and direction-finding would be accomplished by triangulation based on an array of detectors.

labeling a product for potential allergens doesn't hurt consumers, its meant to do the opposite otherwise they might hurt themselves if they're allergic to it.

so now we have to play the game that its dangerous to label and dangerous to not label, this hurts producers because they'll be sued no matter what, it just makes business impossible.

eating baked goods is not a right its a preference, capitalism says to find a bakery that suits your needs.

and to be even more split over this, any food content can be some kind of allergen, now that what used to be normal spices are being converted to allergens one at a time we have to make distinctions like this, if i ran a bakery i would just label everything as being made with allergens too because we used to just call them "ingredients"

Adblocking does not constitute "theft" under even the most strained comparison. Just because the post office keeps putting trash in my mailbox doesn't mean it's theft for me to only keep the letters I care about. Throwing ads/spam/trash into the bin instead of keeping it in my house is not theft.
Nitrogen is narcotic at higher partial pressures. This is something they teach during SCUBA diving training: If your dive buddy starts acting loopy when you get around 100ft deep, it's time to go up.

> It is caused by the anesthetic effect of certain gases at high partial pressure... Narcosis produces a state similar to drunkenness (alcohol intoxication), or nitrous oxide inhalation.

> Except for helium and probably neon, all gases that can be breathed have a narcotic effect, although widely varying in degree. The effect is consistently greater for gases with a higher lipid solubility, and although the mechanism of this phenomenon is still not fully clear, there is good evidence that the two properties are mechanistically related.
