Thanks for the link. Yeah , I was aware of this one and another GUI builder someone sells, but it just really seems like something MS should provide as built-in. The ability to share a script to any windows computer without them having to download anything (exception being an old copy of Windows) and just run a program is an important piece in my eyes.
“Second, this proof-of-concept work focused on binary computing functions with a cube being either pushed up or pushed down – it’s either a 1 or a 0. But we think there is potential here for more complex computing, with data being conveyed by how high a given cube has been pushed up. We’ve shown within this proof-of-concept system that cubes can have five or more different states. Theoretically, that means a given cube can convey not only a 1 or a 0, but also a 2, 3 or 4.”

Is this trying to straddle the line between analog and digital computing? Because it sounds like they are describing a crippled analog computer system.

With the advancement of artificial intelligence technology, the capabilities of AI models are improving day by day. However, in order to perform complex and sophisticated tasks, simply AI capabilities are often insufficient. The ‘Prompt Chaining’ technique emerged to overcome these limitations. Today we’ll take a closer look at this innovative AI-directed design methodology.

Maintaining reliable access to off grid electricity and going net zero are very different applications requiring very different expenditures. Both are valid choices, but going net zero relies on a great deal of grid infrastructure investment and maintenance, and the understanding is that utilities in high home solar areas will rapidly de-emphasize per-kwh pricing in favor of per-month access pricing.

They never called again.

Using an overprovisioned quantity of cheap cells is part of it.

Insulating and air sealing your home well is part of it.

Thermal mass approaches are part of it. Without cheap batteries, it's very possible to store a great many kwh in volumes of soil, water, or sand riddled with pipes and resistive heaters.

This year it has been pointed out that vertical bifacial solar panels radically outperform tilted arrays if snow is a possibility. Expect this to be the new normal at high latitudes as cell area is very cheap now.

this might not be the right thread to ask this question, but I have an older car and the battery inside went. In the past the battery was $50 to replace. Post-COVID, it runs for a whopping $250 at most automotive places... sometimes cheaper on sale.

So why not swap it out for a lithium battery (which still run around $50)? Are there any downsides beyond rewiring the connector types I'm not aware of?

My experience:

1. Hooks and functional components were supposed to save us, but has made react harder to use in large codebases because most developers don’t use React as intended. A lot of foot guns because most JS devs don’t try really understand closures. I remembered way less problems and bad practices in the componentDidMount days.
2. React demos well for small apps, but its un-opinionated nature means there is no standard for large codebases that need to load remote data and manage shared global state. No one likes redux or any other de facto solution. React needs to come with batteries included, or at least strong opinions on how to manage large codebases.

Any modern system is going to use IP as a transport. Even the traditional phone network is VoIP under the hood in modern networks. The replacement system should be kept as far from the influence of the last mile providers as possible.

I personally just care that my groceries get shopped for me. Having someone who already knows my preference is just a small perk.

Anecdotally, I had a fantastic experience with `clojure.spec.alpha` (with or without `test.check`), and when I went to use python's `hypothesis` it was just... abysmal.

It seems like Hypothesis is unable to handle simple but "large" data sets >>by design<<, where "large" is really not so large. [0] It was such a pain that we ripped out Hypothesis (and generative testing altogether, sadly) completely from our python test suite at work.

So, it takes at least 44 years to repay? This sounds like a terrible investment. Normally, energy saving projects repay themselves in about 7-10 years. Also, this system sounds incredibly complex. What is the annual maintenance cost? Surely greater than zero.

Some existing digital storage uses multiple levels beyond 0 and 1 for improved density. For instance, the 8087 floating-point coprocessor used a ROM with four levels to store its microcode with two bits per transistor, as a regular ROM was too big for the die. Flash memory uses multi-level cells with up to 4 bits per cell.

Somehow, Android devices currently sold into both China and Russia both support sideloading apps, including VPNs. Apple has set up a situation where they are able to be used like this, and if you think that a country is going to put in laws to require phones work like this, the only reason that could even make sense is because Apple is willing to do so and has set the stage for it being normalized.

As it stands, Apple fights tooth and nail against EU regulation of their business model and yet simultaneously goes far above and beyond what any other company is doing to comply with requests from totalitarian regimes? Apple--the company, sure, but also, concretely: the people who work there--are traitors to democracy.

We simply shouldn't be willing to create technology where anyone could even come to us with such a request, even if it is the basis of a lucrative business model, as we KNOW totalitarian regimes will then take advantage of us as patsies for the subjugation of their people; and, if the resulting profit is just too lucrative for investors, businesspeople, and engineers to leave on the table, we should make it illegal.

Agreed. A while back I played around with fuzzcheck [1], which let's you write coverage-guided, structure-aware property tests, but the generation is smarter than just slamming a fuzzer's `&[u8]` input into `Arbitrary`. It also supports shrinking, which is nice. Don't know that I would recommend it though. It seemed difficult to write your own `Mutator`s. It also looks somewhat unmaintained nowadays, but I think the direction is worth exploring.

That doesn't always work. A lot of phone numbers out there are "dirty": they are on various marketing lists and will get spam calls and texts.

Some carriers do try to keep excessively dirty numbers inactive for a while after a customer cancels a plan and returns the number, in the hopes that the spam will fall off after to many "this number is disconnected" responses.

But sometimes they don't bother, and sometimes it just doesn't help all that much, because spammers are just running through the phone number space.

This is a long way of saying that even getting a new number doesn't always work. The number you end up with might already be inundated with spam.

Someone I once considered a friend, handed out invitations to a christmas party he was holding. While nothing he told us about the plans were strictly false, it turned out it was a direct marketing campaign. And there were no sales conducted at the event, instead he called everyone who showed up a week later to see if we were interested in anything we saw. He deliberately crafted a hook to be misleading to his target audience, even though nothing he said was false. I now consider him deeply untrustworthy and have severely limited my contact with him.

I believe the author of the title deliberately crafted a title that would be misconstrued by his target audience into believing something false, even though it was technically true.
