In the USA, in public areas where there are 120v 15a or 20a outlet -- I 100% guarantee that if you had more than one oaf with an EV charging from those plugs at the same time you'd pop a circuit breaker. Those plugs are almost always for convenient maintenance of the site and share several outlets to a single circuit breaker -- if 2 thieves tried to steal power at the same time they'd overload the circuit.

Public EV charging is going to need to be much better than it is currently; part of that means having lots of public EVSEs that properly share a common backhaul without popping their breakers, and it also means figuring out how to bill people for the power they need.

I've been able to get by solely with my EV for 6 years, and it's only occasionally been a minor inconvenience (mostly having to spend 20-30 minutes charging per 3ish hours driving on long distance trips); I've had to wait for charger capacity only when foolish enough to drive into or out of an eclipse totality path, and even then I was forced to wait a total of 20 minutes before getting a charging stall.

I'm lucky -- I also have access (10 months out of the year) to a parking place with a dedicated 240v/20a charger. For 2 months of the year I charge at a L3 station when I go grocery shopping; (in those 2 months I also have access to L1 charging and a dedicated parking spot but it's more convenient to charge at the grocery store.)

In North America, non-tesla L3 charging seems to be managed by organizations mostly dedicated to making people foolish enough to buy a non-tesla EVs miserable.

L3 charging, btw, is really exotic, or at least really heavy duty technology -- you can't trivially drop 8 stalls of 400v / 200a just anywhere; many of the tesla superchargers near where I live have local power generation facilities (big natural gas fuel cell setups) to do peak shaving.

Largely I agree with you -- electricity is everywhere, and it should be possible to make L2 evse plugs available to 20-30% of street parking spots and put L3 charging in lots more places than it is. It's not trivial but it also isn't insurmountable.

Why would evolution "tweak the obvious knobs" for something well beyond our breeding age 100-500-5000 years ago?

The best argument is that those same tweaks affect child bearing/survival performance in the same direction. Since sickle cell and other diseases were selected for, it seems unlikely all of them go the same way.
How I Program in 2024
Not a sport, but the occupation of free diving to gather food, pearls, etc. was dominated by women who physically performed better.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haenyeo

Because so many families relied on the haenyeo for the majority of their income, a semi-matriarchal society developed on Jeju with the haenyeo at the head of the household.

On the tiny islets off the coast of Jeju, such as Mara Island, where sea-diving was the sole source of income, this reversal of traditional gender roles was fully realized; men would look after the children and go shopping while the women would bring in money for the family.

and:

https://strangersguide.com/articles/haenyeo-divers/

for generations, haenyeo—or sea women—have supported men and children by free-diving to the ocean floor, harvesting such prized sea creatures as conches, abalones and sea cucumbers to supply the local economy.

When Jeju men were called out to other seas or lands to fight wars, or languished in prison, the haenyeos of Jeju Island found an opportunity near home, off the choppy waters of the island’s coast.

Haenyeo women went under water more than 100 times a day, as low as 65 feet under, grabbing precious sea treasures with their bare hands, trading them for money that would be used to feed and clothe their families, pay for their children’s college education and pay off the steep taxes and fishery fees formerly imposed by the Japanese colonial government.

Never got to work with 10BASE5. I did do some work in an auto parts supplier who had a private CATV network in their plant and had a 10BROAD36 network[0]. They used it as backhaul out to IDFs that supplied 10BASE-T to end stations. I worked on a project to replace the 10BROAD36 with 100BASE-FX connections.

> Except they don’t. American Airlines, Delta, and United are running out of flight numbers, and nobody knows what to do about it.

All of the above mentioned airlines are the size they are because of mergers.

Why don’t they use the IATA codes of the airlines they absorbed. For example Delta merged with Northwestern. In addition to DL, they could also use NW. American merged with USAirways. They could use US in addition to AA. United merged with Continental. They could use CO in addition to UA.

I feel like "not suspicious" would eventually become an impossible bar.

You'd find a code pattern that was being used, and declare it suspicious.

> There are life experiences that are impossible for kids in the city ever have and are more valuable than any sport, dance, or academic activity.

These being?

I grew up in a lot of different places but the impression I get from my own experiences is that the valuable life lessons of being alone in the woods can be acquired part-time. You don't have to relocate there. And since living totally alone in the middle of nowhere, rather than in a small town surrounded by fields, farms, and forests, is a lifestyle that only recently became possible, I doubt the value of extended isolation. Throughout human history people have gathered into settlements of at least the size of a village. Living alone is totally new.
Researchers and academics did pretty well on weather models, which are much more important to safety than aviation software, because you can’t just disable severe weather for a few days.
> I wonder why botulism even gets a mention in modern discussions of traditional fermenting and food preservation.

Because too many "natural health" people don't understand actual health risks.

Botulism pops up because "<flavor> infused oils" became a thing and people started dumping uncooked garlic into them. And then a bunch of people got sick with botulism because a low salt, neutral pH, anerobic (the oil blocks oxygen) environment is practically tailor-made for incubating botulism.

"Classic" recipes for preservation generally make sure to have salt, nitrates, low pH and little oil/fat (and generally a combination of them). Guess why? Most pathogens don't like salts (curing) or acid (most canning). Some of the worst (like botulism) don't like oxygen and oil/fat can block oxygen.

You can even see the ignorance in the comments here. Some people were talking about putting non-acidic things in a vacuum seal without a pressure boil (240-250F). No. Bad. Very Bad.

Take a look at things playing out in "raw milk" right now. "Pasteurization" was hailed as a breakthrough for a reason--it is.

I hate the "industrialization" of our food chain as much as anybody (I simply cannot find a tomato that doesn't suck). However, you solve that by breaking up the cartels--not by wiping out food safety.

As for nitrates, a lot of the problem is the fact that the "industrial" process pumps the meat with a LOT more nitrates than people would use at home. When properly cured, most of the nitrates in meat have chemically reacted and there is very little residual. Industrial processes worry more about running out and so pump the meat so full of them that there is a ton of nitrate still left in the meat even after curing. It is this unreacted nitrate residue that seems to "cause problems".
It's common but rarely necessary for people to get the largest circuit they can imagine rather than evaluate cost / benefit clearly.

I have a 240v / 20a plug next to my drive way. It cost $300 for the electrician work and $150 for the EVSE. It uses inexpensive romex, didn't require me to beef up my house's 100a service, and 95% of the time recharges the car overnight. On the rare situations where I get home from a long drive late in the evening, with the car under 10%, and drive it the very next morning, the car will have not gotten back to the "normal" charge level, but it's still perfectly usable for 99% of driving requirements... And if I'm in a rare situation where I need to charge it more than I'd get from an overnight drive I can L3 charge it.

Sure, if you're putting 200 miles a day on the car consistently, or if you've got several EVs, or if you've got a huge price difference in your "time of use" power metering contract, having a big pipe between the car and the grid is helpful.

But just as often, spending more than $500 for an EVSE hookup is just not going to be a good way to spend money. Do it if it makes you feel more comfortable, but it's rarely necessary.

Train ML in Browser
Sample workflow: https://www.loom.com/share/9e493834f47f4517aac3a3f95ad525f9

So I had this crazy idea - what if we could do machine learning stuff right in the browser? No servers, no fancy setups, just pure browser power. And guess what? It frickin' works!

Here's the deal:

- Everything's happening in your browser. Like, EVERYTHING.

- Your data? It's chillin' in local storage. No sneaky uploads.

- Backend? What backend? We don't need no stinkin' backend!

Quick rundown of what I built:

1. Drag n' drop your data: Just yeet your CSV into the browser.

2. Make your data all fancy:

Turn text into numbers 'cause machines are picky eaters.
See what your data looks like before you commit. No surprises!
3. Peep your data:

I threw in some graphs 'cause who doesn't love a good chart?
Pro-tip: If it looks like a bell curve, you're golden.
4. Train that bad boy:

Pick what goes in, what comes out.
Mess with some settings if you're feeling spicy.
5. See what stuck:

Find out which parts of your data are the real MVPs.
6. Extra goodies:

Wanna mash up some CSVs? I got you
Why this is nice

- Cheap as free: Your computer does all the work. No cloud bills here!

- Privacy FTW: Your data never leaves your browser. It's like Vegas, but for numbers.

- ML for everyone: No more gatekeeping. If you can click a button, you can do ML now.

- Speed demon: Updates happen faster than you can say "machine learning”

"slow burn", like the processors I suppose.
It doesn’t matter to me that transportation operates at a loss. It’s a good thing that people can afford to go where they need to.

Maybe a stronger argument is the fact that airlines are so popular at all. High speed rail is great but air travel is still 2-3x faster over long distances, and China is a big country. If we had high speed rail in the US, people would still probably opt for air travel a lot of the time. New York to LA would take 9+ hours.
Agreed. Huge help for anxiety.
The other side is to make sure no one reads it.

Or, to just state facts and not actually bring in emotional states.
That would be a recipe for confusion among pilots and controllers. They rely on visual sighting of aircraft for some operations and have to maneuver in relation to each other so if the livery doesn't match the IATA code then that increases the risk of error.

It's honestly really unpleasant spending that much of your life hustling people.

I quit after a year because I hated having to hustle to make payroll.
I have very similar memories as a child, and also find it very difficult to get good tomatoes. There's great looking tomatoes, but they don't smell or taste right, and they are either too hard or floury mealy things.

When I can get good tomatoes - my favourite thing is to have them on toast. Just slice the tomato, put it on some toast with butter, (or olive oil). Breakfast, lunch, dinner... it's simple but delicious.

Anna Bay, just north of Newcastle in NSW, Australia used to have fantastic tomatoes. It was renowned in the region for it's fantastic tomatoes. The area had a huge flood of Italian immigrants just post WW2, and they brought the tomatoes with them.

You'd see a few little road-side stalls on the road to Nelson Bay. The supermarkets took over and those little stalls disappeared. Then some opportunistic folks set up stalls using commercially grown tomatoes from others selling them as Anna Bay tomatoes, but they're not the same.

Unfortunately this tactic seems to be becoming more common. We found someone selling Peaches and Nectarines by the side of the road. They offered us a sample, it was amazing. We bought two boxes at a reasonable price, they were almost all awful. Had the same thing with Cherries.
>For example Delta merged with Northwestern.

Northwest Airlines.

I'm sorry if I'm pedantic, but Northwest was my childhood airline flying with my dad on many of his business travels and I have many fond memories with them. My Delta SkyMiles account hails from Northwest WorldPerks, opened in 1998!

I might also have a soft spot for Delta because of that too.

I had considered this idea for a while so I'm happy someone built it, but I think because it's an llm it may be putting too much weight on the statements made by the company in reports/transcripts, which are generally given a lot of spin and light on details. The general info about competitors and the business also seems very out of date, at least from the few responses I could test. It could use more news summaries as training data so it at least has an idea of what current trends are and what companies are doing this year.
