Insurance and regulatory hurdles are far higher than contracts selling future electricity customer purchase agreements and likely to doom almost all new nuclear projects in the US as they have for the past 50 years. I don't see why an amoral customer would care about the specific source power as long as it's cheapest, but even a socially-conscious customer would probably be okay with renewables if and when they are generally the cheapest option. Perhaps there are a handful of specific datacenter locations and requirements in particular areas that would be better suited to geothermal or nuclear.
Seems like the terminology of calling it a ‘true’ belief led to some confusion. Of course there is an huge difference between evidence and proof. Correlation is not causation, Godel’s incompleteness theorem, all abstractions are leaky, etc.

Desperation to ‘know’ something for certain can be misleading when coincidence is a lot more common than proof.

Worse yet is extending the feeling of ‘justified’ to somehow ‘lessen’ any wrongness, perhaps instead of a more informative takeaway.
Yup! That was it!

Good job on the ASCII art, btw.

I'd prefer i to be a description/name of the thing that is being iterated.

If your array is named cars then you can safely assume i will be a car, but depending on the complexity of the code it just adds another step for me to parse, when I could have just named it car to begin with.

That's a simple case where the data being iterated over is clear. When the data is complex, it becomes even more useful to descriptively name i so that you can more easily see what you're working with.

One of my attendings has a running joke where he takes fresh interns in July and tells them "I will take you to <most expensive restaurant in my city> if you can take this patient's blood pressure correctly." He's been doing this for 30 years and no one has been treated to dinner yet. He's looking for the standard rest time, arm at heart level, everything.
I think you've missed what I meant... Read the parent and my response, not my response in a vacuum.
hi Saul!
I think he means the "satellite" layer, not the "terrain" layer.
On a serious note, in case anybody is looking for trustworthy ad providers, I have a list:
No, you're being unreasonable because that's not the goal at all. The goal is to minimize variations while still allowing the possibility of variations that traditional distros like dnf/RPM Fedora/RHEL disallow without jumping through hoops such as renaming/prefixing or alternate toolsets like scl.
Correct, which adds to the reasons they really shouldn’t be trying to shake down users.

Amid a Water Crisis, England Asks: Who Should Be in Charge?
I've worked in robotics for over 10 years, at state of the art labs and high quality startups.

There are really only two hard problems in robotics: Perception and Funding.

Perception, especially around a bunch of people, with depth, mapping, understanding traffic and gestures, all in real time etc etc will be a huge problem for these machines for a while.

Funding though? I doubt that's an issue right now.
I used to ride a lot in the mountains. Even on roads my disk brakes were blue from heat, rim brakes would simply die or make me die - no, thanks. Rim brakes are perfectly fine for city bikes, many road bikes and light offroad, but not for any long braking - that is not limited to downhill.
State of the art models aren't trained the same way as the first models were. High quality datasets are both much more valuable and more useful than simply feeding everything you could possibly crawl into it. Throwing in the kitchen sink and then some is a great way to burn money while also hurting your model accuracy.
Ok. And they are still dangerous if they explode. Imagine what happens if something at 150 atm explodes.

What stood out to me is that the speed of the movements makes it clear the autonomous balance control just isn't there. You can simulate this: try to move your upper body while standing up without changing the balance or stance of your legs and hips - unless you move slowly you can't do it, whereas if you put any force or momentum behind it you'll feel yourself straining pretty hard to stay upright.

When you see the bits and pieces of behind the scenes for Boston Dynamics it's clear that's where a lot of the magic actually is (and also if you look at how say, Atlas moves) - by necessity it looks much more "natural" because to get any power or speed behind the motions the whole robot needs to actively compensate the movements (obviously having enough power behind the drive system to actually do it is also critical).
The term doesn't come from the idea of containing sand.

It comes from things built for children to play in that have an edge with contents inside it. You play "in a sandbox" without having to deal with anything outside of the sandbox.

The sand in a children's sandbox spills over and gets everywhere. The children playing inside it .. they don't have to care. They are playing inside the sandbox, and for now, the world outside it is not relevant.
I assume you mean satellite and not terrain mode. Terrain mode doesn't have images so there are no planes visible at any airports. As for satellite mode I looked briefly and noticed 2 planes.
Yes it would mimic real human output. That's why we have to verify if the subject matter is important. Knowing who to trust or not is not easy, if we have to be sure we have to do some work.
I watched something similar happen to my great uncle (grandpa's brother).

He was a commercial illustrator and had many projects for magazines, trade journals, pamphlets, brochures, stuff that all required "illustration" pictures of something relative to the business interspersed with text. He would research, draw, and paint/color scenes that ended up as wall art in corporate lobbies, stuff that you see every day but just becomes part of the background. Like this artist, we had furniture filled with pencil sketches, and working art.

Unfortunately, his business was nearly entirely supplanted by computers and he simply didn't make the switch to digital production. In retrospect three decades would need to pass before digital art tools would match his ability and be affordable.

He died with no heirs and few of his friends remain. I'm in my 30s; I doubt anyone my age outside of my family knows who he is. My parent's extended family think fondly of him and will cherish the art they have but he will disappear in time.

The most "valuable" part of his legacy is not his artwork but his lifelong hobby of photographing his vacations with Kodachrome. We have hundreds of color slides through the late 40s up until the 2000s of national parks, towns, people, cars in brilliant color. I would like to scan them but don't know where to put them; where do people go nowadays to see albums?

I don't want to get them locked up behind a service that get's abandoned or must be buyware like Ancestry.com
Brave tried to fix this but the jury is still out if it has any chance of succeeding.

The lack of diverse monetization models is forcing web sites to maximize for annoying-but-not-too-annoying.

I'm waiting for a browser where I can collect gummy points by going to web sites with ads that I can then exchange for my chosen ad-free web content.

Just one example of how we can regain control over content with content-creators and infra operators getting their fair share.
Yeah I'm one of them. I developed a full-on anxiety disorder after my diagnosis with high BP to the point where I would get panic attacks just sitting in front of the device.

At the same time I would became obsessed with measuring BP and pulse...

My current solution besides anti-depressants and therapy is just ignoring it and trust in the pills from the doctor.

Right now I'm thinking about trying something like the Aktiia wearable to get some measurements without me knowing...

And what's the typical variance (from "actual") for a "usual" reading?
I would imagine latency would be an issue if companies were considering teleoperation using staff in a country with cheaper labor. For example I work with people in India and China and they regularly complain about the several hundred ms of latency they get when using their American VDIs. That off the shelf lawn mower is going to be hard to control safely with all that delay, and there's also the risk of connection drops and the like. You would need a specialized mower with collision detection/etc. to handle this, and at this point you might as well discard the robot and just have a remotely operated mower instead.

However there are cases where this can work well, say in a factory handling dangerous chemicals with the teleoperator in an adjacent room. Or maybe it's doing some sort of task where delays and connectivity loss are acceptable.
And companies like WHM/cPanel and Plesk - who provide 1 click Wordpress installs for a huge number of otherwise non-Wordpress specialist web hosting companies.

I'd guess a _huge_ part of WordPress's "customer acquisition" comes from small businesses who started out on cheap shared hosting for their email/dns/website using cPanel or Plesk (or similar). That's clearly a big market, given how much Wix and SquareSpace spend advertising for it.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn cPanel had as many WordPress using customers as WPEngine - and it's now owned by PE as well.

> A real community-owned fork could quickly get a lot of traction.

I suspect a WordPress fork developed by a consortium of companies who offer Wp as a Service? Perhaps a having them all fund a non-profit Mozilla like foundation (well, Mozilla circa 2015, before they decided to become and AI and Ad company who's apparent goal is to attract more and more sketchy grifting C level execs and make them rich).
Find one that is accurate enough and crosscheck it with the one at the doctor by taking regular measurements so you get an idea of trends rather than absolute values. Doctors do know about white coat hypertension - it's not a myth. There's no reason you can't do your own experiments with consumer-level blood pressure monitors from reputable manufacturers. In fact, it was my mother's primary care provider who recommended she buy one for home use.

This is what I did with a US$10 pulse oximeter (a Contec CMS50M from China) when my dad ended up in ICU last year, and it was pretty much bang-on with its readings. I've also tested my pulse oximeter on plane trips and know it will drop below 90% when the air is thin (and rise up again if I do some deep breathing), and therefore know it isn't always stuck at a high value.

Search PubMed for "The Accuracy of 6 Inexpensive Pulse Oximeters Not Cleared by the Food and Drug Administration: The Possible Global Public Health Implications".
I see the same suspicious lack of aircraft on the ground. It's really interesting. I see one Qantas aircraft taxiing onto runway 09R, and a Saudi aircraft taxiing into parking from 09R, and that's it. Also interesting is that I see a bunch of trucks on both ends of runway 09L. The Google Maps imagery of other major airports, and even military airfields, shows many aircraft on the ground.
Ah, I've had a slightly different task many times: porting a high level algorithm from MATLAB or labview or keras to C.

As part of this I construct a series of test inputs, and confirm that they are bitwise equivalent to the high level language. It's usually as simple as aligning the rounding mode, disabling fused MAC, and a few other compiler flags that shouldn't be project defaults.

The other fun part is using the vector unit - for that we have to define IEEE arithmetic in the order the embedded device does it(usually 4x or 8x interleaved), port that back up, and verify.

Never did use a whole lot of transcendentals - maybe due to the domains I worked in.

According to their web site at https://kairospower.com/technology/ it uses a molten fluoride salt based coolant but unlike the MSR/LFTR designs the fissionable fuel is not dissolved into the coolant; instead, the Kairos reactor design puts the fissionables in pellets that are intended to remain solid while in operation; it looks more like a pebble-bed reactor than a MSR/LFTR.
This seems to be a comprehensive repeat of the "Rot13" and "Mystery Blocks world" experiments as described by Prof. Subbarao Kambhampati

Rot13 meaning that LLMs can't do Rot 3, 4, ..., n except for Rot13 (because that' in the training data)

Mystery Blocks World being a trivial "translation" (by direct replacement of terms) of a simple Blocks World. The LLMs can solve the original, but not the "translation" - susprisingly, even when provided with the term replacements!

Both are discussed in Prof. Subbarao's Machine Learning Street Talks episode
Check the rims too, when you change the pads there is a chance your rims are very thin and at some point you need to replace it. Not cheap. Mechanical disk brakes are indeed quite good at cost-performance ratio, even if the hydraulic ones are nicer but significantly more expensive.

I can see how clients that have sites hosted on WPEngine can be a bit concerned. Did you receive any queries by people who do not have anything hosted by WPEngine, but rather simply have a wordpress site on some other hosting company/self-hosted?

I work at a hosting company and we have received zero questions, and we have a fair larger number of clients who sites are built on wordpress. In terms of going nuclear, anything regarding trademark will have zero impact on our clients.
I used one of those recently at home since my wife can't see my screen, she's not sure if I'm on a call, listening to music or just there.

I read recently that there used to be three classes in trains (at least in the Netherlands) until the 1940s, when the nicest one was removed.

That seems like a shame! Although, the worst one used to have no windows and steam blowing into the compartment, so I guess the situation has improved somewhat.
There are long lasting bridges made of stone, concrete and in the right climates, even wood. Not to mention rope when it suits the purpose.

Well, good! Many of our environmental problems would be easier to solve if there were fewer of us. The fact that humanity has collectively and voluntarily chosen to make this happen is one of a very short list of reasons to hope that civilization might get through the next century-plus of ecological crisis.

This is at least the 3rd version of this product idea that I’ve seen in the past decade. Certainly the nicest design!

The first time I saw this was some friends of friends who were trying to make it into a startup. They quickly discovered that their users liked the idea of a busy light for the office, but didn’t like to update it on or off throughout the day. So after the first few days people just defaulted to leaving it marked as “busy”. Within a week or two their coworkers realized that the light was always on busy, so they started asking if they were really busy.

At that point, the entire busy light idea had been defeated.

This product looks more versatile. Being able to automatically tie it to meeting status or set pomodoro timers could make it more interesting.

However, I predict the same fate: Eventually people will realize the light is busy when the person isn’t really busy, and then return to the old habit of interrupting to ask if they’re busy.
It only happens with waffle pattern shirts and changing shirts causes a consistent decrease in blood pressure measurements. My doctor pointed it out when I got a physical because he'd seen the same thing before with other people.
If I could pay $20K once and then never have to worry about doing any household chores ever again, I'd be whipping my credit card out at light speed.

If it's a robot that needs to be able to work in any room, including navigating stairs, I'd think being bipedal is the simplest way to achieve it. Maybe make it tripedal to make walking/balancing easier.

> We're talking about distro packages, not upstream software releases.

Yes, by "the MySQL package team" I meant the MySQL distro package team. Edited to clarify.

But even if applied to the upstream team that releases from (e.g.) repo.mysql.org or repo.postgres.org it would apply: they're now worrying about all their dependencies as well their own code, instead of just specifying in the .deb or .rpm file "I need libssl3" and letting the OS take care of it.

It would become a huge duplication of effort to keep up on security updates.

At $JOB we have a general policy to always use the distro-supplied version of a package whenever possible, as if we compile it on our own and put it into /usr/local or /opt, we now have to babysit that code for security and such ourselves instead of 'outsourcing' it to the distro.

Ain't nobody got time for that.

Where you twice mention ROC, I think you instead meant PRC.

ROC is Republic of China, which is the government that started in 1911 and currently has its actual seat of government in Taipei, ruling over all of Taiwan province and some parts of Fujian province (Kinmen, Matsu). On paper, ROC still claims all the other provinces of China.

PRC is People's Republic of China, which is the government that started in 1949, currently has its seat of government in Beijing, and rules mainland China and most of Fujian province. On paper, PRC claims all provinces of China, including Taiwan province as well as the parts of Fujian province that are currently part of ROC.

Western outsourcing to ROC occurred much earlier than the 90s.

Well, for white pages, it used to be name to phone number lookup, not, you know, physical address, in almost all cases. Yellow pages were different ofc. And the tide against that turned 20 years ago, which congress banned that for cellphones.

In any case, sounds like "yes".

Not a deal breaker, but concerning. I know folks in my home would be opposed to my doing it.
I don’t think you understand how this concept works. Because commuting by car after increasing the road capacity gets easy again, and because it’s also the most co convenient and (for a brief moment) fastest way to commute from point A to B, people switch over from using other means and the roads get saturated again soon after. You cannot increase the capacity to accommodate everyone driving, and everyone absolutely would want to drive if possible. It has nothing to do with the city’s ability to deliver, it’s about human condition and our innate need to make lowest effort possible.

Also, this is such a wildly American take, from a European perspective. No one expects city to somehow make driving cars easy here, not anymore. Would also be wild from NYC or Chicago perspective. Having lived in NYC I would not replace Subway with a car in that large of a place. Even without traffic it would take too long to move about.
Actually, I won't be surprised if it turns out that the 40 or so cybercabs were remote-controlled too.
