The commonly accepted way to clean records among audiophiles is to use an ultrasonic cleaner, and a homemade cleaning solution containing some industrial attractants and anti-static additives that are recommended by the Library of Congress, but a few drops of dish soap works about the same. You don't need a lot, just enough to break the surface tension. There's usually a motor that slowly spins the record so that the label never gets submerged, and there are label protectors with o-ring seals that you can use while rinsing to protect the label.

The distilled water is mostly needed to avoid deposits from water spots after the rinse water evaporates. This can be mitigated with a vacuum drying system, which you can buy for between $25 and $500.
Water displacer, hence the name, right?

Allow me to translate: from space exploration and submarines ops to climate changes issues we desperately try to create food in artificial environments we can create a bit in all climates, nearly everywhere and possibly in simple buildings, we have substantially failed so far, but enthusiasts articles keep piling up in the hope research keep up and evolve...

Aside a small interests to cut out all small and medium scale food productions, because industry of this kind demand a certain scale and if that's the future of food that's means few giants can subjugate a wide mass of people for mere strategic role in the society: being the sole who can feed people.

Essentially so far both nightmares and dreams, in practice we can do something but only for very few in survival mode consuming an immense amount of resources.
> It’s a fact that America has fucked over literally billions of people over absolutely nothing.

Oh, not over nothing... Israel has to exist, because if Israel doesn't exist then Israel won't exist. Which is why Israel obviously has to always exist.

> This is something that China has not done.

The ongoing oppression of Uighurs, Tiananmen Massacre? Clearly China would do equally worse acts as US if she had the power US has.

> Speaking about incentives, China has an incentive to NOT do this. Their economy thrives on a global strong middle class that can buy goods. America does not have this incentive. America’s incentive is to create petrodollar dominance through its military.

Never thought about it like this... Maybe you're correct and a China-dominated world would be less violent. Still, the cultural homogenization policy they employ would clearly cause much harm if their borders were wider. Just look at the amount of oppression it's resulting in at the moment.

> But there isn't and there has been little progress for a long time now.

publicly. The algorithm side and the hardware side are really really different because we can be pretty sure that the NSA doesn't have a giant super computer that is either dramatically more efficient than commercially available computers, or that uses more than say 1% of US electricity consumption. On the algorithm side, we know that the NSA employs a decent number of number theory people, and given the way that math research progresses, it's pretty easy to imagine that one of those people has found a slight algorithmic improvement over public state of the art. CFRAC was invented in the 1970s. QS invented in the 1980s. The NFS was the 1990s with some improvements in the 2000s. If we go another 50 years or so with no progress, it maybe starts to be reasonable to believe that there isn't a secret algorithm that's better, but with 5 improvements in the last 50 years, it seems pretty likely that there could be 1 more that has been found but not published.

> You shouldn't be liable for debts incurred after having your identity stolen but proving that is a lot of work.

The first step is to call it what it is: fraud by misrepresentation. The owner wasn't deprived access to their identity (a key component of theft), they weren't even involved in the transaction. Companies want to have their cake and eat it - have low barriers to making sales/offering loans without rigorously verifying the identity of the person benefiting and be shielded from losses when their low-friction on-boarding fails lets in fraudsters.

If a home buyer is duped into transferring deposit into a fraudsters account, they don't blame it on corporate "identity theft" and put the escrow agent on the hook by default.
Having people bleed out in the waiting room is quite an unpopular outcome. When you have the luxury of time it's less excusable to make a misdiagnosis or to rush a treatment.

I use Pluto for this. Quick download, no sign up required, and tons of topic-specific channels to switch to. I put it on all my devices and don't even worry about it.

Google TV also has a "Live" tab that collects all the live channels across all your apps and puts it into a TV guide grid. I've installed Fubo and Tubi and others just to build out my TV guide.

Works pretty well.

The linked blog post is hardly a way forward, it's a high level summary of LLM uses and drawbacks with no real insight. The conclusion: "The potential for generative AI to transform industries is vast, but realizing this potential requires a thoughtful, strategic approach that balances innovation with practicality." Really?

There are no excellent examples of anything. I feel cheated.

The LLM content seems distracting and unhelpful to me.

In an example[1], three paragraphs start with "Oh boy" and "Oh dear". There are also "whopping 272 invalid schema examples" (twice), "whopping 334 rate limit responses", and a recommendation to "add rate limiting to a whopping 173 operations".

The prompts[2] contain "You like chatting in a playful, and a somewhat snarky manner.", "Keep the tone casual and playful, and a bit snarky.", so this seems partly intentional.

But even without the snark the AI summary looks unhelpful to me and I'd prefer a tool without LLM. So, Spectral[3] I guess.

And ECUs make it so easy to manage all of these things! I love 80s/90s Japanese sports cars, but I don't think we need to go back to the era of using a gazillion vacuum lines to control all kinds of esoteric valves and sensors. But I agree with everything else; I don't want my car to connect to the internet, I don't want my car to track my travel and driving habits, and I definitely don't want that data sent to the manufacturer to be sold.

It really just smacks of greed and nothing else... selling cars has a long history of being a profitable business on its own. You don't need to steal your customers' data to turn it into another revenue stream, but it sure looks good on a financial report.
I think a way around this would be some sort of voting/ popularity system?

Final rule: https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/r311003consumer...

Summary:

* No fake or disingenuous reviews. This includes AI-generated reviews and reviews from anyone who doesn’t have experience with the actual product.

* Businesses can’t sell or buy reviews, whether negative or positive.

* Company insiders writing reviews need to clearly disclose their connection to the business. Officers or managers are prohibited from giving testimonials and can’t ask employees to solicit reviews from relatives.

* Company-controlled review websites that claim to be independent aren’t allowed.

* No using legal threats, physical threats or intimidation to forcefully delete or prevent negative reviews. Businesses also can’t misrepresent that the review portion of their website comprises all or most of the reviews when it’s suppressing the negative ones.

* No selling or buying fake engagement like social media followers, likes or views obtained through bots or hacked accounts.

> According to the final rule, the maximum civil penalty for fake reviews is $51,744 per violation. However, the courts could impose lower penalties depending on the specific case.

> “Ultimately, courts will also decide how to calculate the number of violations in a given case,” the Commission wrote.
I don't find it particularly mean-spirited to say "actually, our product didn't kill him, he wasn't using that feature." I don't even find it especially pejorative to note that the victim at that particular time was ignoring warnings and reading a newspaper; most of us do something foolish occasionally.

But that's just me. I doubt further debate on this would be productive.

Fascists are famously unreliable narrators. Scapegoating is core to the philosophy and fascists are typically entirely focused on winning power and asserting dominance over competing factions rather than understanding, explaining and fixing underlying societal ills.
Seems to me that building for breadth can trigger overengineering. You build functionality that isn't wanted, but is a logical consequence of your platform and the other functionality that you do have use cases for. This is an expenditure of resources with no guarantee that anyone will use it. In turn, it's likely that this functionality will harbor bugs and design errors, precisely because nobody has really used it for anything.

I'm all for building extensible platforms, with scripting and/or good APIs, but any effort put into something for which there is no definable use case is probably wasted.
You're right that bank account numbers in the US are insecure, but you're wrong that this is why checks are popular here.

Checks are actually the source of the problem. If you have access to blank check stock and MICR laser toner (both readily available on Amazon, since business accounting departments will routinely print their own checks for payroll / bills), you can make seemingly valid checks to withdraw funds from any account number. This is still a problem.

The reason why checks are popular is because until recently there hasn't been a cheap + accessible + official + unencumbered way to do electronic transfers between personal accounts. The infrastructure existed (ACH), but only businesses could actually initiate deposits/withdrawals. Individuals could initiate full-service wire transfers, but those are risky (there's no way to reverse one done in error) and banks typically charge $25/transfer - which is far too expensive to use for anything routine.

PayPal came into existence so people could purchase goods online (on eBay, specifically) and have the option of performing a chargeback if the goods weren't delivered as advertised.

(Checks will probably still persist for some time, since all the online payment services want to charge percentage fees if they think you're acting as a business. The beauty of checks is that they just work and don't insist on taking a cut of the payment.)

> accounting info is held separately in APEX

So the good news is that M1 doesn't use apex for clearing anymore

The bad news is that... things got worse? After they swapped to doing clearing in house, they dropped like a month of incoming wires without reaching out at all, until I noticed on my monthly login. Turns out that they had changed the underlying wire instructions (makes sense), but sent an email saying that nothing would change on transfer instructions (not true).

Then the next month, they still dropped wires even with the correct instructions, because... ???? unknown reason. Again no contact, until I reached out and asked wtf. Third month, everything worked even though nothing was changed from the prior month.

So there's a reason why I won't put more than SIPC worth in M1 or any other new fintech. And yes, it's backend incompetence as the primary reason.

It's just a lot of words for saying that you use [fill in the blank with your language of choice's words, like classes or interfaces] to wrap your classes with such that the wrappers provide methods that let you do a variety of things:

- associate immutable contextual stuff with your data
(think configuration, in C you'd add a context object
pointer argument to all your functions, but in Haskell
you'd just wrap your objects in monads)
- associate "mutable" contextual stuff with your data
(think state, in C you'd add a context...)
- abstract out I/O so you can write fully deterministic
code that's easy to test
- etc. (e.g., tracing, logging, transactions,
backtracking, and whatever else you can imagine)

along with standard methods that allow you to chain "statements" into a single expression while still looking like it's "statements".
"What the water dumping is for is making sure it doesn't re-ignite on its own"

Yes, hence why I said it requires lowering the temperature to below the threshold for it to re-ignite.

Here's one submersion system:

It requires a significant more water to put them out. Hence it's more efficient to just submerge them in water than it is just dumping water on top of them.

I was just thinking about the distances used: in LIGO/VIRGO, the sizes of the chambers is 4 km, and the interferometric distance they look for is 10^{-18} m to detect a GW.

For the baseline of DUNE we have 1300km, so that would mean 10^{-15} m if we do a very simple comparison. (I am not that familiar with GW detection!).

Measuring neutrino events at such a resolution would seems not realistic currently, as most detector measure events at sizes of cm (reactor experiments)- to meters (atmospheric / galactic). However, don't discount someone coming up with a brilliant insight to actually do this measurement. Some things we measure today were thought impossible not that long ago, like GWs and the Event Horizon black hole image.

The end game is directing best and brightest to other strategic sectors, especially hard tech (like semi) where employment and wages and market cap are exploding. Ditto with killing edtech, capping finance compensation, it's wasteful for all math PhDs to be quants or adtech.

It's just correctly identify that it's retarded to pour so much money in service platforms with diminishing returns, i.e. DiDi is already stupid efficient in most areas, what's the point of spending billions to shave average delivery by a few more seconds when it's just going to shit up traffic more. It's realizing spending 300B on importing semi conductors and billions more on other imports / paying patent fees to western countries that are no longer reliable is dumb.

IMO at this point, if you see western articles saying XJP is doing XYZ bad things, he's probably doing right thing, things that west is about to do (industrial policy, increase speech controls, regulation/antitrust in big tech), or things they wish they can do.
