Codewars can do this, they keep how problems was solved. If a problem was solved using some string by most answers than it is a good problem to learn that part of the language. With documentation you have really good way to cover all parts of a programming language.
It depends on the implementation. Prompting for a pin for a one-time install of a downloaded apk is not a big deal.

If it requires a pin every time you install or upgrade from fdroid that would be really excessive and actively discouraging alternative app stores.
I very much disagree, that's the most basic of basics. I don't care much what's happening in low income areas and especially not how it used to be historically. And the point is what happens when an issue is discovered - it's nice that they do checkups, it's not so nice that the treatment available is again only the most basic available and anything above is very expensive and not covered even partially.
I'm old enough to remember Airship Industries (1979):

>The AD500 was "a new-generation airship making use of advanced materials and technology." It was 164 feet (50 m) long and contained 181,200 cubic feet (5,130 m3) of helium.

>Unfortunately, on 8 March 1979, the month-old AD500 was seriously damaged when the nosecone failed while the ship was moored in high winds.

And various other things not really working till they went bust in 1990. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airship_Industries

I wonder if Airship Industries (2024) will do any better?

Pair Programming?
Can you imagine being told in 2021 that all your coding work would now have to be pair programming?

Your company has spare money and hired extra SWEs so they're making pair programming the norm.

I think most of us would have flipped.

But isn't that what a lot of the AI coding solutions are trying to do?

You write a line, it writes a few more, you have to review and adjust it to continue.

This isn't what we imagined with AI coding.

Our energy infrastructure isn't particularly reliable right now. Power outages, while not at the level of a third world country, are quite frequent. Nuclear is the highest energy density power generation you can get. Investing in reactors that are less susceptible to explosions (Like a molten salt reactor) is an important step and it's really only viable if you can iterate which means building modular reactor. If you read the article you'll see that most of their iteration and experimentation is without the nuclear material. Something that is possible because the reactor itself is small and can be run through a bunch of safety checks without the dangerous parts.

The route that Nuscale and Kairos are taking is both cheaper and safer than large scale reactors. And we are going to need something to fill the gaps when there is no wind or solar generation available if we want to get off fossil fuels.
Many great points!

I thought this was interesting:

> Instead, I see the ability to "know" something as a characteristic of the human brain. It's an ability that causes the brain to lock onto one belief and disregard all others. It appears to be tendency we all have, which means it's probably evolved by evolution due to providing some evolutionary advantage.

It is substantially hardware (the brain) and software (the culturally conditioned mind).

Rewind 100 years and consider what most people "knew" that black people were. Now, consider what most people nowadays "know" black people are not. So, definitely an improvement in my opinion, but if we can ever get our heads straight about racial matters I think we'll be well on our way to the second enlightenment.

What is a pooh stick and is it related to a poop knife
Hello John,

As explained in this page
- http://lambdaway.fr/workshop/?view=coding
the lambdatalk evaluator is built so that:

3) lambdas are special forms evaluated to a single word - a function's reference added to a dictionary, initially empty - and follow these 3 rules:

3.1) called on a number of words lesser than the number of arguments, a lambda memorizes the given words and returns a new lambda waiting for missing words,

3.2) called on a number of words equal to the number of arguments a lambda returns a word or a sequence of words,

3.3) called on a number of words greater than the number of arguments, the last one gets the exceeding words and the lambda returns a word or a sequence of words.

So:

1) {SWAP Hello}, ie {{lambda {:a :b} :b :a} Hello}, replaces :a by Hello and returns the anonymous unary function {lambda {:b} :b Hello} waiting for the missing one,

2) {SWAP Hello World} replaces :a by Hello and :b by World and returns "World Hello",

3) {SWAP one two three} replaces :a by "one", :b by all following words, here "two three", and returns "two three one"

The javascript code can be seen in the 100 first lines of this file

No.

At my current job we pair program using a zoom call for everything with the person writing the code sharing his screen.

Sometimes there can be 4 or 5 of us on the call.

We are far more productive than any place else I've worked.
And, what else?

Putting a couple of buzzwords on a practice being performed for at least 15 years now doesn't make you clever. Quite the opposite in fact.
cf yearly are good for some purposes but bad for others. Again, look at Germany's coal/gas use yesterday vs today as well as wind/solar generation and imports. If you don't want fossils, how would you cover such events? France was outputting towards Germany equivalent of 3-4 npp and 2 additional from Switzerland, max being about 12+GW from neighbors. How would it be financially viable considering there are many other days when demand will be met for day hours? New solar/wind will not be able to sell energy at negative prices unless they get subsidies. Germany already spends 20bn/yr for price subsidies and their grid is far from overcapacity and that doesn't account for other subsidy types like for transmission for renewables
This is not entirely correct, Raytheon were going for a slightly higher frequency (2.6 IIRC) and the FCC ordered them down (forcing the recall of their trial ovens) because GE wanted to use crystal oscillators (klystrons) in the 1.2GHz range, and they wouldn't need to worry about the awful klystrons harmonics if they could bleed into 2.4.

GE moved to magnetrons shortly afterwards anyway, I expect they hadn't had the radar manufacturing scale that Raytheon did at the end of the war.
I had a similar trip to the blood bank once: I rode my motorcycle from Palm Springs to San Diego, straight to the blood bank, on a cold January morning. As usual, they took my temperature. It was 95-something. They said, "Are you feeling alright?" I said, "Sure, I should have worn better clothing for the ride down here, but I'm fine." They conferred, then took my cold blood :-)
It feels like having 50% of your team's time be spent on urgent support, triage and bugs is a lot. That seems like a much better thing to solve versus trying to work around the issue by splitting the team. Probably having those people fix bugs while a 4 week re-factor in a secluded branch is constantly in process doesn't help with efficiency or bug rate.
But why would the electricity consumer insure the power plant?
Wait how do airplanes fit into all this?
> you are fair game

I am pretty confident that when Stallman writes about large age gaps, he wasn't condoning predatory behaviour, but wanted to emphasize the fact that some people can be fully capable of making their own decisions even if they are in their teens. (I would go a little further to add that some people in their twenties or later can be equally vulnerable to predatory behaviour as regular sheltered teens, and it's mostly up to the upbringing they recieved) Maybe I'm too charitable in my interpretation, but "teens being fair game" is not what I understood for sure.

My dad has been a dentist for 30+ years and retired a few years ago.

Recently he did some 3-month contract work for a very large dental chain, let’s call it Penass.

I’ve never seen him so depressed in my live. He said that Penass’s business model was all about running up insurance and selling loans for large operations.
He was directly encouraged to do extra, not necessary work to run up the bill.

He came out of retirement after that and started another practice out of, what I can only guess, was frustration and guilt.

A lot of these large dental chains absolutely tack on extra work and do a shitty job to keep people coming back.

In the US, I highly recommend looking for independent “boutique” dentists. Even if they are out of your insurance network, a lot of them will give better rates if you pay in cash.
The problem is the word "know" being overloaded.

First person know is belief. To some extent: this is just faith! Yes we have faith that the laws of physics wont change tomorrow, or we remember yesterday happened etc. Science tries to push that faith close to fact by verifying the fuck out of everthing. But we will never know why anything...

The other "know" is some kind of concept of absolute truth and a coincidence that what someone belives matches this. Whether that coincidence is chance or astute observations or in the paper's case: both.
I wonder what

This is only a problem if you mistake words for scientific classifications, instead of ways to convey meaning between communicating humans.

Good question - currently it is just hooked into the OpenAI API. I think it actually performs generally well for its purposes but to make it get more traction I would have to consider fine-tuning or prompt engineering further

We tried all models from openai and google to get data from images and all of them made "mistakes".

The images are tables with 4 columns and 10 rows of numbers and metadata above that are in a couple of fields. We had thousands of images already loaded and when we tried to check those previously loaded images we found quite a few errors.
Wow! Less than 200qps per node, quite a redundancy. They also mentioned its read heavy. With aws dynamo db it would be at least 10 times cheaper for their given workload. Although, i do not know how much data they store and serve or how they are additionally (analytics?, etc) using this fleet for.
Now imagine adding an explanation of american football rules on every article about it, of which there are probably hundreds written a day.

I have no clue about american football rules - I barely know the sport exists, the ball has a funny shape, and that it's popular in the states. Still it would be absolute nonsense to explain their basics every time someone talks about them and I won't expect anyone to do so. Explanations like that will just annoy the vast majority of readers, who will have a preexisting interest in the sport and thus will already be familiar with the rules.

That said, I had even less of a clue what the hell conkers is. Luckily I have basic technological literacy and was able to find the wikipedia article[1] in a fraction of the time it takes one to complain.

If battery powered, it would be a very expensive device and require a big heavy battery.

Power tool batteries, eg a dewalt 18v drill, allow a max discharge current of around 10 amps. So for a 600 watt hair dryer, you're going to need 3 power tool batteries! Imagine the cost/weight of that!

To make it work without the high cost/weight, you're going to have to blow mostly cold air and hope the user is okay with that.

Routine dental work is not backed by evidence. Water pick, floss, brush, high quality mouth wash 2-3x per day = no need for dentist. Reduce your sugar and fake food consumption. Don't smoke or drink alcohol. There's a famous blog post of some guy who went to a ton of dentists and got like 100 different diagnosis/cost, can't find it though.
Yes. Someone had their iphone stolen. They got a text message on their partner's phone from Apple saying that their phone had been located; they followed the link and ended up on a professional, Apple designed website, showing a map pointing to a distant country where the phone was located, and they prompted the user to type in the phone's pin code in order to lock the phone or something like that.

They only caught themselves while halfway filling in the code, and I'm sure that was captured too.

Help people find the right career for them
Consider being a career expert - It’s low-commitment, high-impact, and, honestly, a pretty good time.

I'm spinning up this platform to help people exploring different career options find and talk to people working in careers they're interested in learning about.

As a volunteer career expert, you'll get requests from career explorers and then talk to them about your career.

They'll ask you questions like "What's your favorite part of your job", and "What did you do before you started this job?”, and “What is an average day like for you?”

They’re easy questions. Answering them is a big help for those trying to figure out what they want to do with their lives.

Today's values, from what I've seen, this country could run on just wind if it had 10x more than now, but it doesn't really need that in isolation, it's just that PV was harder to judge because the graph wasn't even close to a flat line.

> New solar/wind will not be able to sell energy at negative prices unless they get subsidies.

They already do, in good weather.

> 20bn/yr for price subsidies and their grid is far from overcapacity

And how much of that was for a guaranteed price made way back when the stuff was still expensive?

New PV is, by itself, the single cheapest source of electricity; even adding on batteries only takes it up to somewhere between gas and nuclear depending on the specifics.

> and that doesn't account for other subsidy types like for transmission for renewables

How's that a subsidy? I've not seen the breakdown of bill costs here, but back in the UK there was a split between connection cost and use cost.
Testability as you describe it seems to give you more than just knowledge, but also some amount of understanding: understanding of consequences (not necessarily understanding of causes) — you mentioned the ability to make predictions about the consequences of actions (e.g. 'tests'). (Aside: it seems that you can say you know something, it's a narrow enough concept to be sharp, while understanding something can only ever be true to a degree: it's broad without limit!)

But you may have conflated 'testability' and 'tested'. Can I know there is a cow in the field if I don't check? Seeing it was already evidence, testing just collects more evidence, so how can that matter? Should we set a certainty threshold on knowledge? Could be reasonable.

Maybe prediction-making is too strong to be necessary for 'knowing', if we allow knowing some fact in a domain of knowledge of which you're otherwise clueless. Although very reasonable to not call this knowledge. Suppose I learn of an mathematical theorem in a field that's so unfamiliar that I can't collect evidence to independently gain confidence in it.
