NASA's analysis doesn't estimate costs, but you can conclude from the delta v required and the need to develop a whole new spacecraft, the costs would be considerably higher than just giving gravity a hand.

I have a 5 year old EV with around 95% of its original battery capacity. I think battery degradation of newer EVs will not be the limiting factor in their lifetime or in transitioning from combustion vehicles.

Under 1% of EVs from 2016 or newer have had battery replacements.

https://www.recurrentauto.com/research/how-long-do-ev-batter...

Early EVs skewed that a bit by having poor thermal and charging management of their batteries. Newer chemistries and packs with active thermal management reduce the issues significantly.

Different chemistries also have varying lifetimes. LFP batteries trade a bit of energy density for greater resiliency to charge cycles over their lifetime.

That would be a heck of a fun thing to build. Seems to require a heat gun though, which puts it out of my reach for now.
Thanks. The reason I asked the question is that I've struggled to understand RNNs and other networks (compared to MLPs, CNNs, and transformers) due to the subtlety of their design and my hope was that I could simply forget about them.

I'm surprised about only testing for LSTMs- of all the sequence/memory models, they seem like the most arbitrary and hacky, but I've never been able to determine if that's simply because I don't understand those types of models (my training is in HMMs- do you teach/test those?)
I see. And appreciate all "old web content" though the current setup seems pretty visitor hostile, with anti VPN lockout (you only see if you have VPN), huge popup etc.
A bunch of people are trying to explain philosophy here, but you have hit the nail on the head. Anarchy very quickly turns into warlords. Even when described philosophically in other comments all I can see is feudal and tribal structures with never-ending conflicts (or the republican equivalent, like the Italian city-states in the 1400-1500s).
I think you're responding exactly in a way GP is talking about, namely "that they can’t actually evaluate it the way that political philosophers define it."

Anarchism does not mean that there are no leaders or leadership.
Why do I need to supply an API key to try their demo? Seems absurd
Several data engineers that I know in this space (AI for business applications) are doing the usual ETL + mapping pipeline related work. Nowadays a lot of them are also having to deal with unstructured data such as textual reviews of products, service quality feedback, policy documents. Data engineers are developing the pipelines for chunking, vectorization, ingestion into RAG pipeline and for LLM training fine tuning. So it's still collecting, cleaning data, but quite different at the next level of detail, in my opinion.
I don't think anarchism is necessarily "get rid of leadership" - it can be more like "share leadership." In other words, to do this well, you must recognise and dismantle coercive structures and dominance. This of course takes work, but skipping over this work in favour of "output" type work has led to a great deal of output without consideration of consequences. If we learn to be leaders in a context of power-sharing, there's not necessarily a conflict in that power's expansion, though it's hard to make that legible in a world where power is regarded as a resource subject to scarcity.

Generic 'Space Tug' rather than de-orbit tug might give some other options.

E.G. Punt the decision a few more years. Maybe Starship works and other options get cheeper or we can even bring the ISS back to earth?

Other options:

Land it somewhere on the moon (maybe safely distant but conveniently near by other historic sites for a future Moon Museum?)

Boost it out of the Sol system perpendicular to the plane, just a little above escape velocity. If we ever get better space ships it'll be waiting.
Not a lot of people actually believe that Chile owns it, but it's true that our national registry allowed a guy to register it as his land (he needed to be a land owner to enter a club). It's used as a fun fact by most.

Funny that you only consider North America as 'western'.

Brazil, the largest country in South America, had DST until very recently (2019). A large chunk of South America observed DST at some point. Some stopped in the 90s, others stopped much more recently.

Some remarks:

+ The appeal of optimally planning is that it's easier than hard work. If you want a project done, work on it. Working on projects is not only the simplest thing that might work, working on projects is the fastest way to get them done.

+ Shopping for tools is also easier than working with what you have on hand. If you don't know what you need to buy, don't shop.

+ There's nothing wrong with learning new tools, and learning new tools is often more fun than hard work. That makes learning new tools attractive. But it is not doing hard work.

Success lies in what you make, not in what you plan to make, and hard work feels like hard work. If it doesn't feel like hard work, it isn't. Good luck.

I broke my ankle and the pain from that and the related surgeries has messed up my sleep in some interesting ways:

When the pain was at its worst, I basically wasn't getting any sleep at all and after a few days, I was practically delirious. I had a few times where in the middle of the day, while awake, I would start dreaming. Not like a daydream, but not exactly falling asleep either. Hard to explain but it's like the boundary between "this is what I'm perceiving about the real world" and "this is what I'm imagining" got very thin and permeable. My mind would wander off into dreamspace and I'd think it was real until I would realize "No, that's some crazy dream shit."

I also ended up with several days of nerve pain. I would be fine sometimes for hours and then completely out of the blue I'd get an intense (like 9/10 on a pain scale) stabbing pain in my ankle. Like someone snuck up and nailed me with an electric cattle prod.

When this happened while I was asleep, I would be jolted awake. But, also, my dreaming brain would try to incorporate the pain into the dream somehow. And since those two things were happening simultaneously, I would be yanked awake with a head still full of some crazy dream involving nerve pain that I was actually feeling. Sometimes, it would take a good ten minutes of sitting there to sort out what the hell was going on versus what was just dream nonsense.

Overall, would not recommend.
I have experience (directly and via friends) at international companies with offices in Japan. When they announce layoffs, they immediately lay off their US employees. A month or so later, they lay off their European employees after going through some process. The Japanese employees are safe though because apparently it's very difficult (or impossible) to lay off Japanese employees. However, they will tell the Japanese employees they're having layoffs to trick them into quitting voluntarily.
R290 has a GWP of 3.3, so that's 3.3x worse than CO2 with a GOP of 1. Which makes sense, because when propane breaks down it usually breaks down to CO2.

Thanks for sharing that portable AC's in Europe are R290, I don't think that's super common in the US. But I'm open to being shown wrong on that!
My own experience with edibles (of various ratios of the desired chemicals) is that, the only way I can describe it, the sample rate of my senses change and my brain isn't processing all the sensory input at the same rate—a different rate than when I'm sober and a different rate from each other. Time slows down as the sample rate for my perception of time passing increases. Meanwhile, the sample rate of my hearing decreases and I perceive music differently, low frequency tones (and background music) are significantly more prominent I my perception.
I've read all of George Orwell's novels. Homage Catalonia is good, but Down and Out in Paris and London is better; possibly his best. Everyone knows Animal Farm and 1984. Chomsky is one of the great minds of the last century, surely even he would tell you he read a lot more than Homage Catalonia to shape his Anarchism.
i too would be very interested in this! i am for now a petrol head but continue to be fascinated and also mildly irked by the varying EV sounds.

some sound like galactic spaceships, some like weapons, some like "blurred mechanical noise", and some are almost indescribable in words. some can be semi-nightmarish.

i'd love to play with a soundboard that had all the different EV manuf sounds on it.

As other commenters have noted, there are different kinds of ML/AI archetypes out there:

- "Real AI Scientist/Applied Scientist/Researcher" aka you do actual training/fine tuning of bleeding edge models. Very hot right now but competition is incredibly intense. Probably you need a PhD or some serious experience to compete. Get ready to do a bunch of independent learning if you're serious about this.

- "Fake AI Scientist/Applied Scientist/Researcher" - You work in a big corporation or maybe a confused startup who wants to staff out some internal AI teams but doesn't really have true expertise in the area. Maybe if you really knock it out of the park something you build will provide real customer value...one day.

- "Real AI-ML Engineer" Scientist work under a different name, or deployment/infra for custom models. More approachable than Real Scientist work but probably more focused on engineering chops, C++, CUDA, etc. Similar to Real Scientist in that you need to have some actual legit skills.

- "Fake AI-ML Engineer" Calling the OpenAI API and massaging the output into something that is possibly valuable but more likely is just a "AI Feature" on top of an existing application that provides real customer value.

- "Non-AI ML Engineer" You work with traditional ML like xgboost, probably in the financial world, and don't really interact with any of this stuff, unless your boss asks you to create a new AI Feature. You can now put this on your resume and hope to get a Fake AI-ML Engineer job, if you want to.

- "Real Data Science" this role is trending toward inhabiting more of a BI/Analytics space. IMO in Big Tech they are getting more serious about the stats/probability background here. In some ways I think this would be more difficult to upskill on than Deep Learning math, if you're starting without a math background.

- "Fake Data Science" Kind of a dying role, this is like "I just learned how to do pandas and scikit learn and I'm creating linear regressions for boomers". Honestly still some alpha here if you are a product-focused person in the right org. But maybe the title here should be more like Data Analyst++

Hope this helps. Me myself I'm a Non-AI ML Engineer who is pretty screwed, because if you search ML Engineer now everyone wants you to know PyTorch.

Ask HN: Has any SaaS achieved success with Google PPC while under $50k MRR?
Theoretically, yes it should be possible. But practically it seems impossible to me as I see the CPC in US market goes almost as high as $80 per click and so if conversion rate is 2% the amount that needs to be spent for just a single order is $ 4000.

So if the lifetime value is less than $ 4000, it seems impossible to get the ROAS.

When people set up these NAS's, how are they accessing the files? NFS? SFTP?

And how are you accessing it when away from home? A VPN that you're permanently connected to? Is there a good way to do NAT hole-punching?

Syncthing kind of does what I want, in that it lets all my computers sync the same files no matter what network they're on, but it insists on always copying all the files ("syncing") whereas I just want them stored on the NAS but accessible everywhere.

Nextcloud kind of does what I want but when I tried it before it struck me as flaky and unreliable, and seemed to do a load of stuff I don't want or need.

Using braces in an arrow function that returns an object literal actually is ambiguous in JS, which is why you have to wrap it in parentheses, e.g.:

const foo = () => ({foo: 'bar'})

If you omit the parentheses it gets interpreted as a block with a label and a string literal:

const baz = () => {baz: 'bar'}

What is the point of having a space station?

I guess it justifies a steady stream of funding in the way that a program like Apollo did not. It seems there is little science of value happening there, and most of that is the science of keeping primates alive in space.

I think some claims are either that building it causes some useful basic research and that it is good practice for some future crude space mission. For the first claim, I don’t really see why the ISS is better than the regular aviation research done by nasa combined with the kind of space missions that don’t involve primates (telescopes and rovers and probes and suchlike), especially when you consider the number that might be attempted without so much of the budget going to the ISS. For the second claim I would observe first that there have not been many missions for all this practice and I will secondly say that I don’t really understand the point of these proposed future missions anyway.

Mostly I see the ISS as an enormous opportunity cost preventing nasa budgets from being spent on more scientifically interesting missions. But maybe there’s some advantage I don’t see, or removing the ISS wouldn’t make that much more money for the kind of missions I do think are worthwhile.
I mean this is great in theory, but in practice the first group that centralizes use of its resources quickly destroys each of the small groups in succession forcing the remaining groups to centralize. The centralized enemies will spend a massive amount in convincing your citizens that mutual/voluntary cooperation is bad (see Russia vs NATO).

Anarchists suffer the same problems as (actual) communists, fascist power seeking dickheads ruin reality for everyone. Power seeking behaviors have to be actively countered lest they pass an infection point they become self sustaining which requires a massive amount of coordination between parties.
Was hoping this was using the built in gemini web api discussed on HN a few days ago (I guess it's not multimodal though).
At the most accelerated rate of sea level rise, meltwater pulse 1A, sea levels rose at about 1-2 inches per year (about 10 times current sea-level rise rates, FWIW).

While it's commonly used as an explanation for the prevalence of flood myths throughout the world, I just don't buy it. That level of sea level rise just isn't going to come across as world-ending flood; it's going to be noticeable over time, but even sedentary cultures along the coastlines who are the most impacted by the rise are going to easily capable of dealing with it.

To me, the more parsimonious explanation is... it's just extending the metaphor of a flash flood. There's already a pretty consistent metaphor of ritual cleansing among multiple cultures. Flash floods are pretty common in many climates, and especially in an alluvial flood plain, the utter devastation of a major flood is readily apparent. Combine the two of them with a metaphorical story of the world being so wrong that everybody needs to be swept away and... why not use a flood to explain the destruction of the entire world? What other disaster would you choose instead?

Having been to jail, here's what they say, "the days pass like years, and the years pass like days." Which is a hugely accurate interpretation of what happens. Nothing happens all day, and every day is the same, so the days drag on in the most mind-numbingly tedious fashion. But then you wake up and you notice six months have passed without you being able to name a single thing that happened.
I'm 99% confident (I have no sources because I'm lazy) the written versions of the various bible books were originally orally passed-down stories as well. Weren't the stories about Jesus written down ~70 years after his passing?

it's not possible to dismantle dominance structures. They're evolutionarily defined in our biology and are primordial. If you ban explicitly stated dominance hierarchies, they merely become implicit.

Think about "flat" organizations. On paper, there is no power hierarchy. In reality, you have to join the group and observe to discover who is actually in power, because it's implicit, but there is always someone in power. This is then lamented as "politics."

There is no evidence that implicit power structures, especially ones where everyone maintains the lie that there is no power structure at all, are better than explicitly defined power structures.

In fact, history presents lots of evidence to the contrary, especially if you read Russian!
Libertarianism was indeed first started by the anarcho-communist Joseph Dejacque, who described Proudhon as a "moderate anarchist, liberal, but not libertarian"[1].

But modern US-style libertarianism has one very central difference: Support for private property, which was anathema to Dejacque, who firmly supported Proudhon's infamous "property is robbery".
