This is what you want to look at. Really energy dependance is a complicated issue. You'd have to be living under a rock to not see how this dependance has rocked Europe (particularly
Germany) since the Ukraine war. Energy price instability is an enormous social problem.
It's not really reliance on wheels, but reduction of all mechanical work as one then goes to sit at a desk.

> will lead to bone density loss and muscular dystrophy.

It's not right to call this bone and muscle distrophy. Not playing squash, probably the sport leading to the highest bone density by far, does not mean you suffer from or muscle distrophy.

Rather, whenever you change any habits, your bone density and muscle mass adjusts to prioritize things relevant. Pick up tennis? Your right arm will be heavily prioritized. Change to running? Your arms will no longer be prioritized.

It's mainly an issue when you drop below a healthy limit - that doesn't really happen from changing your exercise, but from a complete lack or physical disorders.

(Suggesting one is "cutting out" walking or jogging once they get tied to a wheelchair might also not be the best way to phrase things.)

In case this is useful to others, this is the config I myself use to couple Howm to Org-mode:

(use-package howm
:after org
:init
;; Org-compatible filenames and syntax.
(setq howm-file-name-format "%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S.org")
(setq howm-view-title-header "*")
(setq howm-dtime-format (format "<%s>" (cdr org-timestamp-formats)))
;; Use ripgrep for fast searching.
(setq howm-view-use-grep t)
(setq howm-view-grep-command "rg")
(setq howm-view-grep-option "-nH --no-heading --color never")
(setq howm-view-grep-extended-option nil)
(setq howm-view-grep-fixed-option "-F")
(setq howm-view-grep-expr-option nil)
(setq howm-view-grep-file-stdin-option nil)
;; Make the "comefrom links" case-insensitive.
(setq howm-keyword-case-fold-search t)
;; Get rid of the old-fashioned separators.
(setq howm-view-summary-sep "\t")
:bind
;; Keybindings to list or create notes.
("<f12>" . howm-list-all)
("<C-f12>" . howm-create)
:config
;; Where to store data.
(setq howm-directory "~/Documents/wiki")
(setq howm-home-directory howm-directory)))

The way I use it is that Ctrl+F12 captures a new note. Once you have a few notes, press F12 to browse them – in that mode, you can press n/p/RET to preview and open notes, s to search through headings, g to (rip)grep through the full text of notes, S to sort the hits, or c to create another new note from that mode. (I largely ignore Howm's default "menu buffer" in favor of the "list all" buffer.)

Note that you can make the titles and dates even more Org-compatible:

(setq howm-view-title-header "#+title: ")
(setq howm-dtime-format (format "#+date: <%s>" (cdr org-timestamp-formats)))

After trying both, I prefer the system above, since Howm supports multiple titles in a single file which maps better to Org headings. Plus, this makes the F12 menu quite a bit cleaner... (You can still manually add titles and dates in the Org format before exporting the note, Howm doesn't mind that.)

Thank you for the follow-up.

I said I hadn't heard voices myself, but as I sit here it seems that's not entirely correct. I have an active inner dialog, and that dialog is as if I had said the words myself. Sometimes I actually do say them out loud.

I could imagine that if there's a disconnect such that my inner dialog did not feel like it was me talking to myself, it would perhaps be like hearing a voice that isn't there.

There's a striking similarity in your and mpol's response though, in how these voices play on fear and insecurities in a negative way. It's a theme that seems highly correlated, based on casual observations.

I guess it's possible others have it in the opposite way, but that doesn't manifest in a "problematic" way so we don't hear about it much.

Again, thanks for sharing.
Expertise exists. You can ask a hundred non-mathematicians what a circle is, and get a hundred incoherent answers.

Sometimes, you just have to recognize that you don't have the requisite training to respond to a problem, and just follow advice from people who do.

There was a plan to convert the Cockenzie site into an assembly site for offshore wind turbines. I don't think that quite got there, but it now looks like there are plans to use it for landing offshore generation cables and for battery storage. Which is very fitting.

I think the challenge and fun of trying to write a first draft in a month is a great thing and I'm annoyed that it's become so politicised and monetised.

I used to work on these sort of games and one would play a few rounds to get a feel that everything was working correctly and to see things like the transition to win states etc. Obviously, we wouldn’t be spending our own real money to do this: we would be playing against a dev server that produced the results. I find it hard to believe there would be zero QA before launch so I can only assume there was a mismatch between the dev and release versions of the backend.

It also violates the core idea of sleep mode: Keep the current state of my computer intact until I continue working. If a windows update forces a reboot, then that computer state will be lost.
Haven't used it yet, but just tried out the Codium Alpha task agent and, man, it's simply the best coding Ai in the market.

For the PR agent, i have a question, can I use it to review PR's that I've authored myself?
I've recently contributed to the Bazel project and, man, these maintainers are busy so the idea is to use an agent to do a pre-review that covers the usual stuff only leaving the critical parts.

The other thing is, is your company entertaining the idea to parse issues into prompts and then implement them as to derive a PR?

Most media that your average person is interested in can't legally be obtained for offline consumption.

Your average techie can get around that by using Jellyfin, Sonarr/Radarr, Torrent trackers and such, but the military has to follow the law.

THe fact that ships travel around the world doesn't make this easier. Even if the Pentagon could make a deal with most of the major U.S. streaming services to provide their content to the military in a secure, offline fashion, which they probably could, those companies are often prohibited from distributing that content outside U.S. borders due to exclusivity agreements.

That's your personal choice. All I ask is that you don't advocate for narrowing down the personal choice for others.

Yeah, that's the real problem here. When your needs are met, you don't care.
Not really. You defined exactly one, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. There are many, many more.

For instance, a function cannot both be compactly supported and have a compactly supported Fourier transform. Or you can have other transforms, other operators than position and momentum etc.
Yeah exactly, it's a bit like chasing a local maximum. The sibling suggestion, gollum, looks very promising for this, a git backed web based wiki with org support.
The two binding happens in context of forms and user editable fields only. So, it is actually mirroring real world of a value can be changed from two different sources I.e. HTML and javascript.

Once you are in js land, changes occur in one direction only, I.e. from parent to child. Child cannot update parent directly via two way binding. Child need to emit an event. This brings vue in line with react to issues and semantics.

I was on CPLEX team for a few years. Core developers are all PhDs from Stanford/MIT and etc. So it's very hardcore stuff, no less than AI research.

Completely agree that size is not a good proxy for estimating MIP difficulties. Internally we colllected a bunch of very hard problems to sovle from different domains. Some are actually pretty small, say a few thousand variables/constraints. IMHO what made hard problems difficult to solve is actually the 'intneral structure' of the problems. And modern industry solvers all have a lot of built-in heurstics to take advantages of the structures, i.e., what kind of cuts, presolve/diving/branching strategy to apply, how to get the bounds ASAP.

Interestinglly at some point some folks even tried using machine learning to predict strategies. Didn't work quite well back then (10+ years ago). There was some work of using seq2seq for MIP (pointer network, I think) a few years ago; worked OK. So I'm really looking forward to some breakthroughs by LLM.

It's a shame that after IBM aquired ILOG (which owns CPLEX), most of the ppl left for Gurobi.

Isn't this just an implementation of the Observable pattern? IIRC the difference between observables and signals is that signals don't recompute the value unless any of its sources change, by using a dependency graph. Also, .effect() is just what used to be called .subscribe() in knockout.js and others.

> is that they don't want to

Yes, that is essentially the reason. It's not hard to know enough chemistry to figure out how to make these things. The fact that such attacks (your example is small-scale and very ineffective, let's not forget) don't happen more often is the general incompetence of human beings and the relatively tight controls on the basic components (which aren't particularly challenging to monitor for). The tests described are theater, based on the idea that knowledge itself is dangerous.

This way of testing is a regressive stance that essentially presupposes that our adversaries are dumb babies that can't figure anything out on their own. If that was the case, they would also be too stupid to figure out the correct things to ask to get a real set of instructions. Given those things, it's theater.

Theater wastes everyone's time so that people who cannot or don't want to evaluate the actual risks involved. This is something we shouldn't make a habit of doing. It's not worth wasting the time of people with good ability to assuage the worries of people with little ability in a way that has no effect on actual risk. Instead of this, we should address real risk (which we're already doing) and educate other people so they can understand that these are the correct steps to take.
I'm guessing that RDMA only applies for performance benchmarks of clustered / sharded Redis setups right?

I would expect vertical scaling to have better performance for most use cases as you can get cheap servers with very large amounts of RAM and high number of CPU cores.

8w vs 5w power would make your battery time jump from 12h to 19h. When looked at alone 3w difference is not a lot, but in the context of 8w to 3w, 3w is an improvement of around 37% (if I did the math right).

If you optimize the software in such a way that the power draw on idle can be very low, all that work will go to waste if the cpu is clocked at 8w minimum. You need a cpu that supports going to that low wattage.

Taking this as a reference for an arm cpu on a laptop: https://www.anandtech.com/show/17024/apple-m1-max-performanc...

You can see that even with the laptop on showing a static screen, the power draw is less than 1W. That's crazy and tbh, I'm not sure I believe it myself.

In summary, I do agree with you that we need to optimize our OSs so that they become more efficient, but we also need the hardware to improve. 8w minimum is not nearly enough for good battery life.

You have a BSc, but you use the word "variance" describing Melbourne weather. Variance is a statistical measure, which you _surely_ met in your degree. What you observe in Melbourne is variation, which is a different matter all together. This strongly suggests you do not truely understand the issues, and are repeating things told to you.

Another example is where you say we know about 0.17% (or something, no tabs here) percent of Earth's history. Well, history begins about 5000yrs ago. I believe we know quite a bit about the last 5k years. We also know quite a lot about prehistoric climates - before history. We have reliable estimates of rates of change of global temperature, and of CO2 concentrations, and we have no evidence of greater rates of global warming than now.

It's really easy to blind a variable time modular inverse, assuming you have a random number generator handy: you want the inverse of x, compute instead the inverse of x*r, then multiply the result with r.

So I wonder if some things using the same chip/library are not actually vulnerable because they blinded the operation?

It's *better* to use a constant time algorithm, but that's harder to do in a curve generic way and has a pretty significant performance impact (particular before the safegcd paper).
