> I know virtualenvs suck to explain to people, but in my opinion it needs to be done

This is because Python doesn't have versioned imports, which means you can't have multiple versions of the same package in the same environment, but I like to dream about a world where this isn't the case. If instead of import foo we had import foo@x.y.z#optional-checksum, the Python world would be massively improved. It seems like it would be such a simple change too.
Don’t these types of systems generally just nuke init entirely and provide a custom PID 1 ?
It was a protest. There was no coup attempt. A coup attempt would be the military launching the operation to seize power and failing. An actual coup would be the military trying it and succeeding.

They didn't try to seize power for themselves. They wanted the military to seize power so it could rule them instead of the elected president. There's a difference. They thought the military would be better rulers. That's just their political position.

There's simply no way you can convincingly claim that a bunch of people, many of them elderly, equipped with bibles and brazilian flags, tried to seize power in the brazilian capital. This country is pathetic but it can't possibly be so weak that it could suffer a coup by people like that.
That’s a big cut, but it’s not exactly the same, because (for an example) credit card companies don’t have an automated and actual human team evaluating safety of and legitimacy for products sold.

Do managers focus on tactical goals? Or do the engineers do that? Managers are more like the glue of the system, they don’t really provide much value besides that.

That is how I generally see it. The technological suite needed to get to that stage is astounding.

It is a great indicator of progress and decline, like how the quality of crockery dropped in the roman empire showed how their economics hampered their skills.

Maybe computing is one of the big hurdles that shows the overall capabilities of economies and on a much more broad scale, species. Like wrap drives in Star Trek.
Interesting, I’ve always run pis from wall power. Is the pi hardware incapable of similar power optimizations to coral, or is this a problem of a lack of software support for power management on pi? (I assume from your mention of external hardware to manage power that it’s not just a software issue.)

Their thing is a fancy version of the induction furnace.

Also there is refractory and then there is refractory

https://chemistry.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_elements_by_meltin...

For instance Tungsten melts at 3407 °C, Platinum at 1772 °C, Iron at 1535 °C, Aluminum at 660 °C and there are all sorts of refractory oxides, carbides and nitrides so you can find something to make a vessel out of to hold most metals, if it is hard it is usually not the temperature but the chemical reactivity, e.g. Titanium wants to dissolve almost anything you try to melt it in which is more of a problem for keeping your Ti pure than it is maintaining the container's integrity.

If you look in a chemistry book you'll see most metals can be reduced from oxide ores easily with hydrogen in the lab, the other reagent that commonly works is carbon monoxide, which is what is used in a blast furnace for reduction of iron. Another approach to "green" iron refining is to use carbon monoxide like a conventional blast furnace but capture the carbon dioxide in the exhaust and recycle it by cracking it down into carbon monoxide again.

Lotsa big words here.

The key sentence: "Low intrinsic electrical conductivities are obtained by utilizing electrically conductive ceramics made from reaction-bonded silicon carbide."

The basic idea seems to be to make some kind of mesh/foam that will survive high temperatures, is conductive, and contains the catalyst for the desired reaction. Then the mesh/foam can be heated inductively, and you get good contact between the hot catalyst and the reactants.

I'd never heard of silicon carbide ceramic foams before, but they are apparently a common industrial product.[1] Alibaba has many suppliers. They're useful for filters that have to survive high temperatures. The process by which they're made allows adding other materials to the foam, so you can get a material with your catalyst and a nice big surface to volume ratio. That, too, is a known idea.[2] Now somebody has to try it at pilot plant scale for various processes that use catalysts and heat. Which someone did, back in 2016.[3] Even electrically heated silicon carbide ceramic catalytic foams are known.[4] That one used resistive heating, not induction heating.

So the new thing here is induction heating. May be a win. Uniform heating, even if the mesh has some breaks or shorts.

This is a reasonable idea hidden under way too many big words. Amusingly, the articles from people who are doing this sort of thing in production don't use the term "metamaterial".
And they write better. This is in "Cell", and not "Process Engineering" or "Chemical & Engineering News". What's it doing in Cell?

Some measures are better than no measures. Crying about what measures to use when you currently have none is just crying. That crying is the biggest distinction between software and all other examples these comments mention.
FWIW I have owned a Tesla since 2017 and I charge at home from a standard wall outlet.

Where I live most commutes are 25 miles a day, or almost an entire overnight to charge. That is 7 hours of charging, per day if you drive a Model Y.

Regardless of your charging schedule, the power has to come from a local transformer and will be ADDITIONAL to the current load on the grid, you can wait 5 days but that just means more load for longer.

Transformers are typically 450kwh to 900kwh, and the power company matches capacity to demand.

This means adding another ~100kwh to your neighborhood in overnight charging not only adds to the power plant, but also all the infrastructure along the way, and most notably your transformer(s).

That is why I am curious about a deep dive, if we really want to go all electric, what all has to be upgraded? What is a reasonable schedule for a local utility and how much are we going to pay.

And then you add in the road trips and superchargers...

Medicaid is the largest payer because the state is who determined that an individual needs 24/7 hospitalization. There's nothing even remotely remarkable about this. If you drink heavily your entire adult life, your brain is swiss cheese before retirement age. You can no longer "function" in society. The courts cannot do anything until you present a problem for society at large. State run hospitals are very nearly entirely comprised of people who will be in the hospital until they die, with a marginal few matriculating into a group home or another facility (for instance, end-of-life facility).

I don't remember offhand what the facilities "charge per day" but i imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to ask someone in billing the next time i have a chance.
I first encountered Dublin Core when I was working at a big university library. My take was it was an embarrassment compared to the 1970 MARC standard

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

that it was more of what you'd expect from an elementary school library as opposed to a university library. Specifically it never implemented a way to (1) use authority records and (2) specify the order of the authors. It was the kind of thing that wrecked people's perception of "the semantic web" before it even got started.
So are we comparing million dollar software architects to the average or below average athlete in that case?

I just don't think salary is a good metric or comparison here. Concert musician as a paid professions as fallen for decades. Tech is a multi trillion dollar industry, and even outside of tech there's a need for every business to establish basic IT and security.

It's a mix of demand, supply of cash, supply or workers, general respect, and a few other factors. Everyone needs school teachers but how do we treat them (outside of the whole "essential worker" schtick the one time they really should have stayed home)? Child care, on the other hand, pretty much lacks the funds to compensate any better given all the regulations that need to be upheld.

I walked to get groceries today, so I guess we're even on the anecdata

In cities that aren't completely car-centric and have mixed-use development, you don't need a car to get groceries, because everything is close enough to walk. Again, plenty of countries do this just fine, proving it is not impossible.

I had to double check since some of those number differs to what I remember. ( TDP of 50W? )

According to Wiki [1], the Geforce 256 has 17M transistor and not the ~23M they suggest. ~13W Power TDP instead of 50W.

The Geforce only has ~140mm2 Die Size so should take that into account when making comparison to AD102 which has a die size of 609mm2. Or roughly 4.4 times the Die Size with 4400 times the transistor. 1000 times increase in the span of 23 years.

Unfortunately we wont see a 3nm GPU until 2026. Which is sad because with the margin and hype and demand of AI I was hoping we could see 2nm GPU by 2026.

Compared to any random cases, they are extremely high success rate if the intake criteria is meet.
I think it's true in general: keeping the old guard around only helps if the new leaders aren't having good ideas, but then it's a screwed situation anyway, as the whole succession plan is botched and you get the Disney drama.

On the other side, if the successors are decent but go in a direction the old guard doesn't approve of, it creates an overly tense and conflictual situation.

Absolutely: "good software" has to be useful for its intended purpose. Lynx may be well-written, but it's useless if you want to do most things on the modern web: it just isn't capable of doing them. If you want to use a web browser to, for instance, use your bank's web interface, a buggy browser that can do this is infinitely more useful than a non-buggy browser that simply doesn't have the technical capacity to do so.

Even cars are getting comically bad visibility. While there might be a big piece of glass bonded to the rear quarter, it’s got a huge black painted border on the outside and frit on the inside. Then there’s fat plastic trim that obscures driver sight lines from what is left.

NHTSA would be better off at having a visibility requirement for 5th and 95th percentile men/women. I’d allow cameras to play a part, but if used, everything in the system has to be warrantied for 10 years/100k miles (similar to emissions equipment).

The hidden story of how ancient India Shaped the West
No, what happened was that the UN made much noise about a famine in Gaza without actually declaring a famine. This went on from the beginning of the war in October (before Israeli ground operations began) until about April or maybe May. Then, an investigation was conducted, found no famine, and declared how important it is to prevent famine.
"A depressed person often wants to be depressed ..." I'd caution against expressing it this way. It's less a want and more a ground state.

I am one of these depressives, and I definitely do not want to spend all day in bed. It is, however, a ground state that takes an amazing amount of energy to escape, so my usual inclination is to conserve energy and not escape. It may outwardly look to non-depressives as a strong desire to spend the day in bed and away from the world except through whatever portal the Internet gives us, but it's my experience that having someone to come by to help with the parts of living that fatigue me is direly, overwhelmingly underrated.

And, like, it isn't often chores or errands that are the most helpful. (Indeed, when my depression saps me enough, I find that just going on a cleaning binge is a cheap way to recover for a while.) No, rather, it's stupid shit like having someone make decisions for me so that I can get un-stuck from whatever mental hell I've fallen into. The challenge is usually articulating which decisions I need made because merely unpacking them has a high energy cost.

It's only when I've gotten a handle on the fatigue each day that I'm truly able to get moving.

I think i understand why this was flagged, so i will give a small bit of insight that maybe people on HN do not know.

There's a growing list of research publications that implicate the gut biome in ... well most disorders. It's hard to see the forest for the trees because of the implications - but there is a growing body of evidence that "metabolics" or in layman's terms your "gut health" is one of the easiest ways to effect psychological changes.

Also, everyone who can afford $50 should get their serum vitamin D levels tested, just for fun. The recommendation is 30 ng/ml - but this is to prevent rickets or whatever - not for optimal body and brain function - that number is, well, it's 100ng/ml. There's marginal risk to going over 100ng/ml, but this can be mitigated by additional supplements of vitamin K and Calcium*. As far as i know, vitamin D works either outside of or in tandem with the gut flora and fauna, but does fit in to "metabolic", right?

I'm sorry your friend has had such issues.

* reputable vitamin manufacturers know this and will produce high-potency vitamin D supplements with all three, or at least D and K as a single pill.
