To demonstrate their methodology, the research team identified a possible source as wind emanating from cooling devices used to keep computers used in a data center in Columbia from overheating. The site featured three chillers, each with eight fans. The fans operated at 480 V and ran at 900 rpm.

The researchers chose to use Tesup V7 wind turbines to capture the wasted wind because of their small and lightweight features. They mounted six of them above the fans and were able to produce 513.82 MWh annually. After deducting the energy consumed by the fans, the researchers found that adding the turbines reduced net electricity by 467.6 MWh annually.

I see. I misinterpreted your meaning of the word "existing" - I thought you were implying that, by virtue of the introduction of the alternative, any existing codebases would _immediately and instantly_ be worsened, whereas it seems that you're saying that continued (future) development _on_ existing codebases would deteriorate due to those alternatives. That's a fair criticism! I don't fall on the same point in the "alternatives provide better-focused tools <-> alternatives create cognitive load" spectrum as you do, but I see your point.

> It's not like it's a DSL at a higher level helping people get repetitive or scriptable things done faster.

I mean, I have to disagree with you there, because several of the comparisons on the main site page show >50% line-count reduction, and many of those that don't have (subjectivity-alert!) representations that more-clearly match my mental model of how the code works - so not only would I be executing fewer keystrokes to encode my idea (not the main bottleneck, but not irrelevant!), but also I'd be carrying out fewer mental translations to get from idea to code.
I got screwed over by this for SongKong from JThink. They sold lifetime prices at higher costs. Then it came out that they guy didn't want to honor it anymore and switched to a yearly license. In the yearly he claims "oh i'll give the lifetimers 1 year free and perpetual for the license year you bought when you renew".

Turns out after he doesn't even honor that. I bought a year, and then he won't archive the older versions. Have a broken copy because his api key internally broke? Didn't download all versions during that year.. yea you're shit out of luck.
Interesting read, but it seems like a waste of time to keep finding little tricks and band aids with IPv4 when v6 exists.

> However not all enterprises or applications are ready for IPv6 yet

Ah yeah, there it is. Please, just fucking prioritize upgrading to IPv6 and be done with it. Frustrating.

Cloud providers need to hurry up as well, Azure still doesn't fully support v6 on their app services (web servers) either. It's in public preview but has been a roadmap item for longer. It also comes with certain caveats like what tiers can use it.
Performance wise a 5 year old notebook is more than enough given that it has enough RAM and an nvme 4.0 or higher.

What you should keep in mind is the following:

- degrading battery: replacing can get expensive to impossible depending in the model.

- Temperature: old thermal paste may need replacement, Core i7 are getting pretty hot and throttled, maybe an i5 is the better choice

- Display: dead Pixels, degrading colors, lower contrast

- touchpad: smaller, less accurate, no glass

- Connectivity: no Bluetooth 5.0, no wifi ax

I would buy a used one but only because i'm willing to do replacements and repairs. If your time is valuable and you are not an expert, it's probably not worth.

I think it has to do with both performance (smaller tokens means more tokens per sentence read and more runs per sentence generated) and with how embeddings work. You need a token for "dog" and a token for "puppy" to represent the relationship between the two as a dimension in latent space.
"with all the overregulation, bureaucracy"

What most people do not understand, most of the regulation in the EU is to make trade easier. That is the main focus of the EU commission (not the parliament though, which brings in pro-people regulation like food regulations or GDPR).

There is often the joke about the EU regulating bananas. People don't ask why this is regulated, they think it's "the idiots in the EU". The reason is easier trade. Because this way some dealer in Poland can buy a quality level of banana from someone in Spain and knows what they can expect to get. It's for easier trade.

It's like having a standard API and language (e.g. SQL) instead of everyone doing their own. It's like lanugages generating LLVM IR (the IR is "regulated") so they don't have to write their own backend. Think of EU regulation more like OAuth.

Finding out the winner on election night is really just a modern illusion. Media "calls" have zero legal weight, and they rely on predictable geographical voting patterns and large enough win margins to build confidence on the outcome before all the unofficial tallies are in. That's way more difficult these days.

The fastest state to certify actual official results takes 2 or 3 days (Delaware), and most states are closer to 2 or 3 weeks.

I'm using Firebase Auth with a Chrome extension.

There is an API to `signInWithCustomToken`[0] that makes it fairly straightforward to do from your client script.

The way I have it set up is:

- User clicks the Login action and is redirected to an app page which redirects to OAuth login
- User performs normal signup/login flow via the OAuth login and redirects back to the app page
- In my case, it is an SPA and I generate a custom token on the server side using the FirebaseAdmin SDK and write it to the page as a hidden `<div/>`
- The extension has a client script that loads for this page looking for this `<div/>`; when it shows up, it stores the token via the background worker
- User goes back to where ever the extension is loaded; now you can check with the background worker to see if it has a custom token and then use it to swap for an auth token

This only has to be done one time so it's not too onerous and quite seamless once you've set it up. This worked best for me since there are no restrictions once you can redirect to an app page for login and you don't have to fiddle around with figuring out the restrictions in Chrome extensions.

Example of this flow in an extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/turasapp/lpfijfdbgo...

> Isn't the loop ... at the end just implementing the variadic `Math.max()` of JavaScript by pretending that it's binary?

I assume you're talking about:

Math.max.apply(Math,list)

This isn't exactly the same if list=[] (the loop yields undefined; Math.max.apply returns -Infinity), so maybe this is what he is referring to.

This variadic capability is also really specific to Math.max (and min, and a few other functions), and wasn't in early JavaScript so maybe John just doesn't know.

But the main point I think is that it's much much longer than this:

GitButler now supports first class conflicts, making rebasing less annoying
I predict an all out war over deterministic vs non-deterministic testing, or at least a new buzzword for fuzzy testing. Product people understand that a cookie banner "shouldn't" prevent the test from passing, but an engineer would entirely disagree (see the rest of the convos below).

Engineers struggle with non-deterministic output. It removes the control and "truth" that engineering is founded upon. It's going to take a lot of work (or again, a toung-in-cheek buzzword like "chaos testing") to get engineers to accept the non-deterministic behavior.
What if top-tier "greats" viewed every 'sacrifice' as superficially as roast beef vs. turkey? Even the ones we decidedly do not, like having a kid, starting a family, etc. vs. what they want to do?

If you are giving other forms of aid, you can incentivize the use of netting. However, netting is just the beginning of such an effort. For instance, you don't see people in Louisiana sleeping with mosquito nets. This is because there are eradication efforts using pesticides and sterilized males. More money means that you can engage in that as well as helping locals avoid bites.

I'll accept that there could be precedent to use non-layman definitions of certain words, but how do you apply that justification to this quote from TFA:

> "T-Mobile will never change the price you pay for your T-Mobile One plan," the company said in a pledge that enticed many people to switch plans or even switch from another carrier to T-Mobile.

I don't think it's reasonable to use anything but regular definitions for the words in that particular quote.

Rather, they are pulling this off a completely different way:

> "We are not raising the price of any of our plans; we are moving you to a newer plan with more benefits at a different cost."

So the price of the service is not changing during the reasonable lifetime of the service nor the lifetime of the consumer. Rather, the service is no longer being offered.

I worked 12y the ad-tech industry, and 3y in a company using this kind of data to measure performance of "drive to store" campaigns: doing online campaign, then seeing if people visit the actual real store based on geo data.
The company was actually controlled by the CNIL (French regulator) according GDPR, so we were "anonymizing" data, meaning hashing one way the IFA (unique phone id for advertiser) and storing location within a 300mx300m square
I put some quote around anonymizing because geo data from your phone in the evening/night is enough to know where you live (with 300m precision).
The rest of the industry in France and Europe was still a far west though (around 2020)

>This language server is stricter than the HTML spec whenever it would prevent potential human errors from being reported.

It doesn't support implicitly closing <li>, <p>, <dd>, <dt>, <head>, <body> tags which is one of the best features of HTML if you're handwriting it. I assume it doesn't support implicitly opening <html>, <head>, and <body> either. Why do I have to skip indenting those levels when I can simply not open the tags?

HTML is a terrible language and I'd rather write some strict superset of it that includes template tags to make it functional. If HTML features are treated as errors, that's not a superset.
These things develop over a long period of time and much of this mentality was planted by Reagan (and other conservative economists, mostly inspired by Reagan).

It really wasn't. It wasn't difficult for anyone to get past their cheerleading for the Iraq War other than Judith Miller, who (for her service) was given a fake job at a fake conservative paper for a time that I'm sure paid her enough to retire comfortably. The Cheneys and Bushes are media and political darlings. No one paid a price for going with the herd, and doing what the administration demanded.

It was and is difficult for people who failed to cheer on the Iraq War.

The NYT has always been on the administration's side when asked, and "corrects" the record about 5 years after it could make a difference for anyone. Everyone involved gets cush editor-in-chief jobs at "liberal" magazines, or professorships at quarter-million dollar J-schools.

Aside from never, ever, ever using the NYT for elections after "the needle" debacle in 2016, I have been utterly unimpressed with the NYT more broadly. Their average, day-to-day journalism--and especially their political journalism--has been little better than gossip at best and actively hostile to healthy democracy at worst. To the extent they were ever anything special and not simply the beneficiary of huge market bias, they lost that years ago.
Shit they aren't even the "New York Times" anymore because they officially made their focus national and have jack shit for New York coverage.
the DEA doesn't need scientific expertise, they're NARCs who can cross state lines. they're cops -- law enforcement -- and they're there to enforce the law, not advise on it.

It might be an expectation of a corporation to attempt to stay in business. I will concede that. It's harder to say that I can't blame them for doing so in underhanded ways. Expectation and blame are not married.

Just yesterday I was in a driving situation in which I lost visual sight of an intersection that is usually very busy (because oncoming cars are pilling up around a 90 degree bend and blocking visual just on the other side of the bend). This is a fairway for me without any traffic signals. While the intersection into the fairway has a stop sign (T style intersection). Because visual was lost, I made the decision to lower my speed considerably in EXPECTATION that a car would enter the roadway dispite not safte to do so. Normal speed for this roadway is 60mph but I lowered to 40mph. I did not hit them because I expected them. I still honked though.

I love these class of devices so much, and it's so cool seeing what a competitive landscape of devices have sprung up. The AMD APUs out now are amazing, and some of these folks have awesome cooling for them. Idles can be remarkably low (the monolithic APUs have a major leg up vs multichip for AMD). So, big fan.

But. You need to be careful. What level of support if any these devices come with vary greatly. Beelink has pretty good bios updates, pretty regularly: good job. Minisforum almost never releases new bios/firmware. If there are stability or security fixes for your platform, minisforum wont give them to you. It's a terrible situation, and it's such a scary hidden gotcha most people don't consider when shopping.

Actually, they are optional for that purpose, not required. Without them, the meaning is indeed ambiguous, with my interpretation indeed being valid.

While I agree the concept of "Warrantless" here is bad, I think we can find solutions here that meet the spirit of the law.

For very long our justice system has operated under the principle that Law enforcement cannot catch every criminal and we shouldn't even try, instead we need to make an "example" out of every criminal we do catch to deter enough of the percentage of the population to make crime not a problem. This leads to aggressive prosecution [1]. Now as blowback, justifiably, we've started under-prosecuting and an overburdened (and frankly quiet quitting) police force catches no criminals, even simple traffic crime in major cities is basically not policed [2]

As a resident of Oakland, California, I find this kind of technology a decent middle-ground. I'd like to be able to catch a decent percentage of criminals so as to make crime statistically pointless.I'd love for someone to explore expanded "digital" warrant courts and civilian oversight commissions instead of preemptive blanket ban of this technology via lawsuit.

Not anymore. I had a pair of boots that one of the soles fell off of one day. They were about 20 years old but still in good shape except for the glue failure. I called up LL Bean and they said they had no record of the purchase (I didn’t have a receipt but I bought them directly from them). After I insisted I had bought from them they changed their tune to saying 20 years is long enough and I should know that glue on the soles of shoes fails after a while. I just wanted them to repair the boots but they refused, so I won’t be buying anything from them anymore.
