Not to shit on other people's work, but I can't help to think that all this effort breeding cultivars of (very invasive) European blackberries could've been better spent further domesticating native species that indigenous peoples have often already partially domesticated. In fact some already exist.

Shouldn't we be focusing on plants that aren't a constant threat to native ecosystems?

Leaves out:

- time to recharge

- materials industrial scaling (eliminates/reduces nickel and/or cobalt and/or lithium)

- can be scaled up to a large battery (so many solid state batteries are these small demo cells, and an action car-worthy one that is 100x bigger never materializes

- cooling requirements/support equipment reduce overall pack density (LFP and I think sodium ion do not require cooling systems, which substantially closes the battery density at pack level with nickel/cobalt chemistries

I don't know, my experience is all this is really hard to judge.

I would have a really hard time saying that 4 in April 2023 was better than 4o now though.

I have always wonder if it matters what time of day you are using it too. I feel like 4am EST works better than 4PM EST but it is so hard to judge. I think there is so much difference too with just how the prompt is phrased so it ends up feeling like some days it is is good and some days it sucks.

That is coupled with I have got a bad result before, opened a new chat window, pasted the exact same prompt and got a good result.

If I had to bet, I imagine it is like flipping quarters. Sometimes you will get runs of heads, sometimes runs of tails and sometimes a real mixed bag of both.

A family member was suckered into big student loans for a PTA degree from a mid-tier collage masquerading as a university. The jobs she could get didn't pay enough to cover the loan.

Every degree program should come with a statement of how much one can earn on that degree and a loan repayment schedule. However, there needs to figure out to prevent school administrators from lying and distorting the process.
It's been a while, but as I recall, DirectX introduced a hardware abstraction layer from the get-go, but support was pretty spotty for the first few years. DirectX 7 was a pretty big step forward, and coincided with a lot of pretty important 3D features like hardware T&L and vertex buffer allocation. They got there before OpenGL, so the vendors mostly oriented around D3D7 and D3D8, but vendors' implementation was still pretty wonky and bespoke. Shaders hit for D3D9, and you had to pick between HLSL and GLSL, so the gap was widening then but I think the first time you can really describe a rigorous framework for graphics drivers, as opposed to a stack of shims of varying height, would be Windows 2000/XP bringing along XDDM (which then begat WDDM in Vista; WDDM has changed over the years, but is still recognizable in Windows 11).
How often do papers like this make it to industry applications/published research. Seems stuck in between the two.
A significant portion of the humanities is literally poisoned by Postmodernism/Post-structuralism/Critical Theory. Yes. We call a lot of these fields "Grievance Studies". They're all bunk in the same way that Chiropractors are - despite many "authoritative" insurance companies buying into the scam.

Let's open up a random quote from one of the champions of the Pomo movement, Deleuze and Guattari, in their famous work "Anti-oedipus":

"we are all handymen: each with his little machines. For every organ-machine, an energy-machine: all the time, flows and interruptions. Judge Schreber has sunbeams in his ass. A solar anus. And rest assured that it works: Judge Schreber feels something, produces something, and is capable of explaining the process theoretically. Something is produced: the effects of a machine, not mere metaphors."

You might respond with "Oh this quote is out of context, they're satirizing freud and Freud's reading of Daniel Paul Schreber, a German judge, trying to go beyond him" except that their initial OG champion, Freud, was literally 100% wrong to the point that no one can find ANY experimental evidence for the actual existence of the Oedipus[1] OR Electra[2] Complex or any of the rest of the nonsense that Freud, Jung, Lacan, or any of their disciples peddled through the academy.

French post-modernism/post-strcturalism is so incoherent that trying to argue against it is a category error as it makes no claim to exist the same realm as reason (a hegemonic concept ignored by them), rather, it is poetry by another name - and it's particularly poor poetry. The academy would be better off disavowing it, as it's produced nothing of value except an army of unemployable ivory tower elitist "revolutionaries".

The single-thread benchmark is SIMD-heavy?

Now it just sounds like Cinebench ST is a useless benchmark because it's putting a parallelizable SIMD workload on a single core. In real life you'd always be running those multi-threaded, whereas the reason people care about ST performance is for the serialized branch-heavy spaghetti code that inherently only runs on one core. "Run the SIMD code, but clamp it to a single thread" is a garbage proxy for that.
I can't think of anything more depressing than bringing war to outer space.

The international space station was supposed to be a way the U.S. and Russia, and other countries, could grow closer through cooperation and a shared spirit of adventure and discovery.

If we are ever to have, say, fusion-powered spaceships to colonize the solar system, we'll have to leave war behind. A fusion-powered spaceship is just a very controllable hydrogen bomb. If we ever want to have hundreds or thousands of them traveling around in the solar system, we'll have to figure out some way to absolutely prohibit them from being used as weapons.

The kinds of energies needed to travel between planets is more than enough energy to destroy anything faster than we can create it.

The article mentions a peculiar fruit

A thread on TropicalFruitForum called it "passionberry" and paraphrases "it's the best of the bush tomatoes, and one of the best fruity solanums in general, highly aromatic, with a smokey caramel/vanilla/banana-like flavor"

Solanums hybridize pretty readily. I wonder if anyone's yet tried to hybridize one of these with tomatoes to get a better desert-adapted cultivar

Yes, you can be productive through communication, but if that's the kind of "talk" you want in your C-suite then I don't want to work in any company where you have influence.

It's almost like communicating effectively requires detailed knowledge of the real world, knowledge most often and most effectively gained by... doing things.

I dunno about that distance problem?

There's a project here in Australia that reckons its profitable to build a solar farm in Australia and ship the electricity over 5,000km to Singapore.

Maybe that's all just marketing hype and greenwashing corporate bullshit, but it at least _seems_ feasible to transport solar (and battery stored for 24x7) power long distances.

Engineering a submarine is well above my pay grade, but some of the variables you have to balance are.

the walls have to be strong(thick) enough to withstand the pressure (this is obvious, I know)

the ratio of wall thickness to void(crew) space determines reserve buoyancy.

smaller submarines are stronger than bigger ones. but have a worse buoyancy ratio.

The end result is that as you design a submarine to go deeper it has to become smaller with thicker(heaver) walls until past a certain depth it goes negative buoyant and will sink. So you have to add additional buoyancy. not a trivial task given the pressures involved. the Trieste(first submersible to the challenger depth) was built like a blimp, with a tiny crew sphere hung below a massive tank of oil(they used oil because it is lighter than water and will not compress).

So a lighter material hull is very desirable, it makes the whole operation much easier. They probably should not have been testing it on commercial passengers however.

This is also the benefit of titanium, it is almost as strong as steel with half the weight.

Superchargers.

But a LOT of US apartments have mass parking or even a parking garage. These should be PERFECT for cheap efficient rollout of a charging infrastructure.

I've been pretty disappointed that cities or the federal government have not been proactive in providing incentives to apartment buildings to put in charging, even just normal 110v or 220v plugs.

Urban centers have not completely won the car pollution war, incentivising EV ownership in cities should be a paramount concern in infrastructure planning.

Street parking should be able to provide 110v charging as well. I mean, there are street lamps, right?

Philosophy basically forked after Kant pointed out that the human brain does a sort of computation on sensory data.

Kant basically handed it off to the scientists, mathematicians and computer scientists except for a lot of fiddly bits around justifications and foundations. This is essentially the analytic school.

The other school jumped the shark and aligned with the Romantics and produced Hegel and Fichte and their descendants. This group tends to be opposed to the idea that truth exits and politically has a reactionary longing toward an imagined primitive past. And that longing combined with the belief in the inevitability of history and the valuelessness of human life has led to immense amounts of destruction. For the most part there just isn't anything to cite there that counts as philosophy in the sense it was understood since ancient times.

This is the sodium ion battery, already scaling up mass production by CATL.

The one they claim should enable a 200-300 mile city car that is fundamentally cheaper than an ICE vehicle. The materials costs are something like half of an LFP battery, and LFP batteries should be cheaper than ICEs too at scale, especially with the new generation of 200-225 wh/kg LFP batteries.

The reason why they aren't available is that government, especially the US, are still being unbelievably short sighted about proactive investment in EV switchover. There should be hundreds of billions of dollars being invested to switch over to PHEVs and EVs in all consumer and a great deal of commercial transportation every year.

Heck, we should have had PHEVs for all new vehicles mandated 10 years after the Prius was released in 1997, it's just that there was an oilman in the oval office. But Obama wasn't very proactive either.

What's the evidence?

Note that this statement obviously runs into contrary to the OP. I.e., renewable and CO2-less energy is invested more and growing more than coal.

How the OP translate to "they dont care about CO2 at all"? Your comment provides no linkage at all
Not as much as you'd think. China's coal capacity factor is around 50% and dropping rapidly. Much of their coal is used in peaker plants.

It's not really a "dangerous security bug" unless you're running an insecure OS.

C# can call it that specifically if it likes, because the general computer science term is dead, but under the hood you're passing a reference by value. Look to the generated assembler in a non-inlined function. You'll find a copy of a pointer. You did not in true pass-by-refernce langauges.

The fact that is a sensible thing to say in a modern language is another sign the terminology is dead.

> No, my response to that is because they are kernel developers, not compiler developers. For the nth time. This really isn't rocket science. They need something that works in the kernel on today's compilers. The end.

I have no idea how you make this stuff up, but Linux and GCC have thousands of developers working on them from all across the world, and Linux heavily takes advantage of GCC built-ins. There even exist active maintainers who understand and contribute to both... not that that is in any shape or form a requirement for putting out a request from one project to the other. The idea that they would've been unable to find a single person with sufficient interest & understanding of compilers to implement min/max in it is downright absurd. If they wanted to do this someone would have implemented it a long time ago. And yes, the end.
