tools emissions are a in totally different ballpark to begin with. Heck, virtually no push behind mower would have an EFI. 2stroke chainsaws are just that - gas burners. Pretty much everything uses carburetors, at some point the tuning of the latter was 'disabled' The injection/catalyst/particulate filter, etc. would add non-trivial amounts of weight and cost. Stihl MS 500¡ has a fuel injection system[0], but it's quite pricey (~1400euro)... and sort of unique in this regard.

EU has a hefty tax on the gas (both excise and VAT) - that doesn't do much to prevent the use of petrol engines (both 2 and 4 stroke) in gardening equipment (zero ethanol is just standard at the pump, though). However, the large heavy cars are not common.

Congrats on launching this! Website looks good and I like the "Create your video (Free)" CTA right there. I tried working on a youtube video, but its taking way too long right now. If I can get a feedback as to how much time it would take for the video to process and for me to start editing - that would be great. I often use tools like biteable for video creation and editing and I like the feedback messaging while they process etc.
You seem to really have very little education, perspective, and experience regarding art. When you have very little education, perspective, and experience, your opinions are irrelevant and it frustrates people to see someone so content (and self-righteous) in their ignorance

Someone on this thread likened it to watching a boxing match and then complaining that they aren't using their legs. This is a good comparison. I would also compare it to having only eaten chicken nuggets your whole life and then complaining that a serving of foie gras isn't filling enough.

Yes, the foie gras isn't really filling, the boxers aren't using their legs, and the art doesn't look like real life. But your judgement is based on ignorance. You lack the vocabulary to describe what you're seeing-- but more than that, you lack the eye to even see it in the first place. And instead of conceding that you just don't really know what you're talking about, you double down and insist that you're actually privy to some profound truth about art. It can't be that the countless Art History PhDs, renowned critics, museum collections, and artists who see the relevance of Warhol based on years of study and consideration are correct. No, your perspective is greater because you... were dragged to a museum one time and didn't really pay attention? Because you have delusions about "effort" and the difficulty of trompe l'oeil? For fuck's sake, read a book.

In my experience everybody grown up outside a big city and especially in the countryside, look at big cities and say "no no, it's a mess, I'll never live there." That's independent from the age. Of course they go there for concerts, theaters, museums, maybe hospitals. People grown up in a big city tend to have the opposite reaction, ranging from "it's like being dead" to "there is nothing to do", which of course is false: there are different kind of activities. People that like sports usually will feel better outside a city.

This is interesting because I believe the two major supermarkets in Australia can create a duopoly in anti-competitive pricing by just employing price analysis AI algorithms on each side and the algorithms will likely end up cooperating to maximise profit. This can probably be done legally through publicly obtained prices and illegally by sharing supply cost or profit per product data. The result is likely to be similar. Two trained AIs will maximise profit in weird ways using (super)multidimensional regression analysis (which is all AI is), and the consumer will pay for maximised profits to ostensible competitors. If the pricing data can be obtained like this, not much more is needed to implement a duopoly-focused pair of machine learning implementations.

I've lived all along the West Coast from Tijuana to Seattle. There is no place along this coast which I would call homogeneous except the Bay. I would challenge your locals statement, but at this point, I've wasted too much time on No True Scotsman fallacies for this lifetime.

Either way, my community was one of the last diverse communities to get priced out of the Bay (around the early 2010s). Yet, you can find my community in any other populated place along the west coast. The bay definitely has a diversity issue when it comes to interesting people.
Plenty of providers happily ignore DMCA takedowns when they think their legal risk is low and when the customer is important-- they lose the safe harbor, sure, but only for that specific instance, which if it's transparently nonsense isn't much of a loss. This even often applies when the infringement is obviously real but the source of the report is someone that lacks the obvious resources to make it a real problem.

Even with the safe harbor they can still find themself a defendant, it may just be easier and faster to get themselves dismissed from the case.

This two tier system of handling is part of how the procedural flaws in the DMCA are able to persist as long as they have. If major institutions and brands were finding their content forced offline for 15 days at a time we'd see revisions quite quickly.

Indeed. But if I were in some acute treatment in USA, in the center ring, I probably feel an unrestrained urge to ask for financial advice.

FYI for folks just skimming this, shards can affect scoring, but they don't have to. 2 mitigations:
1. The default in Elasticsearch has been 1 shard per index for a while, and many people (if not most) probably don't need more than 1 shard

2. You can do a dfs_query_then_fetch query, which adds a small amount of latency, but solves this problem

The fundamental tenant is accurate here that any time you want to break up term statistics (e.g. if you want each user to experience different relevance results for their own term stats) then yes, you need a separate index for that. I'd say that's largely not all that common though in practice.

A more common problem that warrants splitting indices is when you have mixed language content: the term "LA" in Spanish content adds very little information while it adds a reasonable amount of information in most English language documents (where is can mean Los Angeles). If you mix both content together, it can pollute term statistics for both. Considering how your segments of users and data will affect scoring is absolutely important as a general rule though, and part of why I'm super excited to be working on neutral retrieval now

"Economists at Goldman Sachs over the weekend said they saw a 25 percent chance of a recession over the next year, up from 15 percent before the latest round of economic data."

Fears of recession are all over the place, and mainstream will play down the issue so as not to blame Democrats before the elections.
Well, you can always leave.

Usually this should start with a frank conversation with your manager. Something like this: "For a while now, I've been fielding IT requests from the entire company. I appreciate that you've been helping manage expectations upwards, but my workload is still unsustainable, and to be honest I haven't been enjoying my work for a while now. If this situation doesn't improve by {insert near-future date}, I'll have to leave."

And then: just start saying no to things. Someone high up says "I need X immediately"? Either say "well, I'll put it on my backlog, and I can get to that in Y weeks" or "I can do that immediately, if you go to these people and tell them I can't do what they asked because this is higher priority."

At least, that's if you want to do it the gradual and non-bridge-burning way. You can also decide that game isn't worth it; there's lot of other tech jobs out there.
Interesting, but:

1) I'm not seeing the "impressive" cargo-carrying capacity at all. I don't see any room here at all to, for instance, add a cargo basket for carrying groceries. Maybe if there were more room behind the seat, but this would make the wheelbase ridiculously long, and it's already probably too long for use in a city environment.

2) I wonder how reliable the transmission is, and how much it costs. It seems like he's basically outsourcing a lot of the complexity into that one part. From what I've seen of geared hubs before, they tend to be very expensive compared to traditional derailleur transmissions.

While I understand your point that Clauser doesn't precisely say "climate change doesn't exist", when he says "CO2 emissions are beneficial", that's widely against the large scientific consensus on climate change. So while the person you're replying to didn't go into details (like you did well) and could have phrased it slightly better, I don't think it was misleading either, and their larger point stands pretty much change unchanged. Do you feel differently, i.e. that it was significantly misleading?
A counter point is that in the most recent episode of Wild Homestead https://youtu.be/FvNEbZPojlc?si=krX1eEroRB28O5DQ the intrepid log cabin builder gets a big electric chainsaw and loves it. And it looks great.

So either this isn’t a comparable chainsaw, or else the first impressions are misleading and the gorge of misery lays ahead, or tech is getting better?

Excellent excellent vlog btw, warmly recommended.

One angle I read elsewhere is that a variety of 'forever chemicals' have been accumulating for some decades now and we may have reached a saturation level where it's noticeably impacting people born into this environment. But it's difficult to sift through, since the effects may not be any one chemical, but a combination of factors or even some kind of interaction when these things are jostling around together inside a growing human.

Looked at through a lens of normal practice their claim has little merit; GARM provides advice to members which members subscribe to and ask for, X-Twitter itself is a current GARM member. Members have individual agency (unless X-Twitter has joined a borg) and are under no obligation to follow the advice of GARM.

I myself have been part of a company that provided advice to subscribers, it wasn't a cartel and not all subscribers followed the leads provided.

The Register is UK based but captured the essence of the whine at play here, Musk told advertisers to fsck off, they did, and now he is upset they did so.

That action itself will undermine Musk's case .. maybe it was a cartel action, probably it was not unexpected follow through in understandable reaction to Musk's attitudes and open armed welcoming and support of the kind of people that stoke far right rioting.

As you say, we'll see how it plays out in court.

> At least the electrical ones I’ve seen wouldn’t work on a 12” log.

I have cut 12" logs on a small electric chain saw with batteries and it works pretty damn well. Much better than a small gas powered chain saw of similar size because of the ample amounts of torque available.

But of course the small saws have a limited capacity and for hard forestry work you should opt for a tool suitable for the job.

As pointed out by another commenter, there is no ban on large gas powered chain saws (contrary to what TFA suggests), only the small ones which are in the same category with the electric ones.

That's not really Teenage Engineering's primary market, in the same way Rolex's primary market isn't "people who need to tell the time". Both T.E and Rolex products do their jobs really well, but the people buying them are buying more for the aesthetic than the function.

Benno intentionally misrepresents his opponents in a way I find disingenuous, especially in that video, and it boils my blood.

Tacitly: most people don’t like launchd, but they don’t interact with it either. Find me a person who writes or debugs launchd plists and you’ll find that:

1. they’re quite rare

2. they don’t like launchd

launchd and systemd aren’t even comparable, one is part of a monolithic proprietary operating system and the other is an ecosystem that is semi-modular which lends itself strongly to being an entire layer of your computing experience (dubbed: “the system layer” by Lennart Poettering).

There is an element of “do it yourself” with Linux, which leads to people (especially people with entrenched knowledge) being wary of things that cannot be debugged easily- but launchd exists in an ecosystem where “take it to the store” is a legitimate fallback, and even if it weren’t there is a built in backup/restore system that literally restores the machine to its entire previous state.

Disregarding the proprietary or “creep”/complex discussion about systemd/launchd:

launchd is an init.

systemd is an ecosystem.

YC was always the dream for me, and I've applied about 25 times over the last 10 years. My work has been all about startups/side projects since I was about 14 years old. I live and breathe startups. But since then I've learned there are downsides to even applying for YC, let alone actually joining.

1. People will steal some of your good ideas. I interviewed with YC back in 2021 where I discussed some unique marketing strategy that had not yet been done in my space. Very suspiciously, I was rejected, yet some large YC companies working in adjacent spaces immediately started implementing that exact specific idea over the next few months. It's possible that was a coincidence, but the timing was very suspect, especially since I was explicitly told during the interview "you have good ideas, but a large team could do this better". And so I'm pretty sure they stole my ideas and gave them to larger teams on the YC portfolio. Beware!

2. It's just a massive distraction if you can actually go it alone. Sam Altman famously said earlier this year, it's only a matter of time before there is a billion dollar company run by a single person with AI. I used to say that back in 2021 even before ChatGPT was released. For many types of SaaS companies which could effectively just be a single person, there is no need for funding, networking, or anything else except writing code and talking to customers. Everything else is just a distraction. YC advice is free on the internet. Vinod Khosla said many investors bring negative value to the companies they invest it.

3. The Silicon Valley groupthink bubble. I laugh at some of the nonsense that comes out of SV, but it doesn't matter to them because there is so much money sloshing around SV that as long as you can attract money by playing their high school popularity contest, you are validated. No matter if there is no substance to your idea. YC companies should count their actual revenue as not including money that comes from other YC companies because it is suspicious if your “product” only matters to people with VC money to splurge. For me, the ultimate test of a good idea is if people are willing to give you their OWN hard-earned money.

4. I, personally, don't do well under intense competition and social pressure. My best ideas and most productive spurts of my life have been when I don't feel pressure to grow, but I work out of a sense of enjoyment in the craft and wanting to solve people's problems that I care about. I have a feeling that YC is one intense pressure cooker, and I'd most likely die there.
Yeah. If Sahara dust can travel 8,000km across the Atlantic, it can certainly reach Northern Europe.
