(Mid-Atlantic Rift Zone.)

Historically virtually all cities were located either along coastlines or major river transport, as shipping was far and away the cheapest way to move large volumes (and masses) of goods. Even today that pattern remains strong.

Tectonic movement is also associated with factors that often produce economically-critical natural resources, from minerals to simply fertilising soil. Australia, which sees little seismic activity, has famously infertile farmland, in which even minuscule additions of mineral fertilisers --- not the Big Three of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, but trace minerals such as iron, copper, selenium, zinc, and manganese. Again, that's where cities tend to form.

And coastlines are strongly associated with earthquakes, especially those along subduction zones (Western Americas, Eastern Asia). Not only do those have many earthquakes, but some of the largest and most destructive, along with tsunamis which can further the devastation.

Note that coasts nearer to rift zones (eastern Americas, western Europe, both west & east Africa) have fewer earthquakes. Several of those also have major populations.

I'm not sure how the 9th possibly having issues somehow undermines the problems with the 5th. This is pretty textbook "whataboutism."

I'm also not sure why reversals are the metric we are going off of here to decide if a court is partisan/legislating from the bench. You're asserting that as if it's self-evident.
I find it very interesting, because just recently I argued with the director of a clinic who said genetics control everything. And I vehemently disagreed. He was the expert, but still complete wrong. And also politically disturbing.
This isn't punishment. This is negative reinforcement. This applies to an ongoing unwanted behavior.
It means multiple models share the same design and components. It doesn't mean multiple individual cars share literally the same gears and whatnot.
I'd be curious to see where you saw me say the 9th circuit hasn't also engaged in this behavior.

When we talk about Google or Microsoft or whoever doing something shady/unwanted, do we have to list every other major company that also engages in bad behavior? Am I obligated to list every single appellate court with issues or am I allowed to focus on the one we are talking about right now?
To be honest, I found having something physical and on the wall and always present _really_ helpful. When the train/bus comes every 15 minutes, being able to casually look and see if you should make a dash for it is way better than pulling out your phone, bringing up an app, and entering your destination.
The live end has to be inaccessible to fingers, unlike the low voltage contacts on the MagSafe. Done.

But the line voltage prongs need to make solid contact with only the pressure of the magnet holding them in. The more gripping force, the more likely you'd trip on the cord. To me, that's the limiting factor.

A "trip sensor" like a garage door or safety table saw might have would add to the complexity.

I can check the code book, but there's a reason that plugs and outlets are snug, and you replace ones that aren't. A firm connection is a safe one.

NEC now requires Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter. Wikipedia [0] says:

> An arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) or arc-fault detection device (AFDD) is a circuit breaker that breaks the circuit when it detects the electric arcs that are a signature of loose connections in home wiring. Loose connections, which can develop over time, can sometimes become hot enough to ignite house fires. An AFCI selectively distinguishes between a harmless arc (incidental to normal operation of switches, plugs, and brushed motors), and a potentially dangerous arc (that can occur, for example, in a lamp cord which has a broken conductor).

> In Canada and the United States, AFCI breakers have been required by the electrical codes for circuits feeding electrical outlets in residential bedrooms since the beginning of the 21st century; the US National Electrical Code has required them to protect most residential outlets since 2014, and the Canadian Electrical Code has since 2015.

Reason for the code requirement: [1]

> Arc fault circuit breakers (AFCI) may still seem new to homeowners who haven’t dealt with electrical codes in a while. They’re the result of research in the industry on how home fires start and what might prevent them. Some studies reveal that electrical wiring issues account for over 150 home fires across the United States each day. An arc fault breaker differs from a GFCI outlet or circuit breaker in that it detects slow electrical leaks. A slow leak typically occurs when wiring is compromised but not completely shorted.

> A good example of this would be when a nail punctures a wire behind a wall and a small electrical current begins to build up heat. Another occurs when a wire nut loosens and a small arc allows the temperature to build between the wire and nearby ground. This can even happen when an outlet or switch connection becomes loose.

Quite possibly, arc fault breakers present the cheapest fire insurance you can give your home.

I didn't indicate that at all. What I expect in a platform I'd want to use is thoughtful discussion from diverse perspectives. Leaving right-wing echo chamber filled with godawful comments to join left-wing echo chamber filled with godawful comments isn't much of an improvement. I think HN treads this far better.
That's a paper thin argument. Convenience is not an anti-depressant. Additionally, all of those things had pre-Internet versions that were just fine and in some cases were even superior. And none of them existing now necessary necessitate the rest of what the Internet brings.

But none of that addresses the vast depth and breadth of the negative aspects of the Internet. Control, propaganda, data stealing, etc. It's just one level below The Matrix because we're all just human compute environments for corporations, criminal enterprises, and the wealthy. The Internet connects us in the most primitive way, connecting up primate emotional capacity, which is very low compared to some other animals, and encouraging short form content.

The Internet has killed the way things used to be made, especially the arts. You can barely even buy things today. You just rent them continuously.
I can't help but envy the engineers in this article as I sit here, procrastinating my fulltime career as a glorified CRUD engineer with complementary soft skills.

Even if EV charging was ubiquitous, legacy auto would sell what nets them the highest profit, which is not EVs. China’s EV market is hypercompetitive, and does not suffer legacy auto type incumbents. It’s why US automakers will likely leave China.

At least we have BYD and Tesla, just gotta scale up faster. Global light vehicle TAM is 90M units/year. 20% of all vehicles sold globally last year were BEVs or PHEVs, onward and upward.

4 trustworthy pdfs of very high quality that I've used as resources to fill my gaps:

It’s pretty common in the Elixir ecosystem for these types of libraries to not change very much. Elixir itself doesn’t change too much so these libraries stay solid without needing frequent updates. It doesn’t mean people aren’t using them. Some libraries even put disclaimers that they are actively maintained even if they haven’t seen an update in a long time. It’s something that takes some getting used to for some people (including myself at one point).

That's not quite correct. There are two major issues with the term "silk road".

1. It implies a singular road connecting end to end, when the reality is that there's was a vast network of routes across both land and sea.

2. It implies that the routes existed primarily to transport silk. They carried a lot of things and silk probably wasn't the original or most significant good transported.

The article discusses both of these aspects, albeit imperfectly.

It still costs more than I'd pay for one. To be honest, while a clever(ish) piece of tech, I've never really seen a good use case for devices like the AI Pin.
It would be great to have all major providers on here. With a history chart to compare all providers.
I'm in agreement there about the first part, although I still find some high value thread on Twitter. Was hopeful BlueSky was going to be a lot better but I'd rather not have to sift through crud on either. Hopeful one day that can be true.
For one, they have spent years shedding all their talent and outsourcing all their components.

Now they are the mercy of their vendors, with limited knowledge of how to do things any other way than to keep depending on them.

Sometimes there are only 1 or 2 vendors they can pick from, with so little competition, it is no wonder the prices keep going up.

If Tesla actually focused on making a cheap car, I am sure it would cost far less, but instead they need the Model 3 to be a cash cow to make up for all the other dumb decisions being made.

It's pretty interesting that the new SpinQuant method did not manage to be better than good old nf4bit QLORA training (Tim Dettmers really cooked with that one).

How does "fixing a tough bug for a week" fit into the factory analogy? What about "designing a new feature by drawing abstract diagrams"? These are examples taken from the beginning of the article.
I think the two big applications for programmatically (AI or otherwise) operating a computer via this kind of UI automation are:

(1) Automated testing of apps that use traditional UIs, and

(2) Automating legacy apps that it is not practical or cost effective to update.

This is a very US centric take. NATO isn't expanding to increase US power over Russia. Independent, self-determined countries seek to join NATO to bolster their defense against the local aggressive neighbour. This should be very clear when you consider how NATO has expanded: not by US invitation to join them, but rather by Russian neighbours seeking an alliance to finally rid themselves of the threat.

> Russia's response to NATO's expansion is a contemporary example of this

So this is what you got backwards. Just consider latest members, Finland and Sweden. Neither had any immediate plans to join before the war, but the bitter truth is that no neighbour of Russia is safe without an alliance providing a decisive military superiority.
That's a good point but I can't understand how it would add up vs servos or other electric air controls vs a manual lever that physically opens the baffle. It really doesn't make sense to me how an lcd can be less expensive than a bit of metal and plastic in a switch but I suppose you're right due to economies of scale.

British cuisine has some interesting side effects of World War II.

In the UK, today, people specifically desire beans produced by a factory, from a tin, with sugary orange-colored tomato sauce. Even at high end restaurants, people desire and expect tinned beans.

Whereas places outside the UK that share some elements of British culture like Australia, Boston and Ireland expect home made means - crushed tomatoes, borlotti beans, local additions (like feta and mint in Australia).

My best-guess understanding is the British taste for sweet canned beans comes from WW2 rationing.

I always want to get into rust but examples like this always make me reconsider. Every time I want to code something and start with rust, I switch to python 5 minutes later because it’s just so much easier (for me at least). The code to build exactly this dashboard would probably be less than 100 lines of python. Rust is much better for performance (and maybe runtime correctness, but most errors here would be parser errors anyways) of course, but for this application, I don’t think it really matters.
I think I basically agree with you on that part. I'd propose an axiom: "All companies tend over time toward increasing levels of cynical rent-seeking behavior in place of innovation or competition."

Which is why they should be restricted from engaging in any easily-definable instances of that behavior (ideally by actual legislation instead of this silly executive branch stuff).

Banning the mature, craven companies from building moats of anticompetitive, anti-consumer behavior is a way to help the next generation of new entrants to either kill them or to force them to compete, either of which is a win for consumers and better startups trying to dethrone them.
GDScript is not good and never will be.
> First seems to be that public schools cant compete with private schools on student success. This seems strange from a public school proponent

No, please read carefully. I said if this continues and more money is diverted from public schools, this will be the case. This should be obvious - every dollar on vouchers is a dollar NOT in public schools. That's not a side effect by the way, that's the entire purpose of these developments.

> Why cant students flow back into public schools if private ones become expensive and terrible over time

Because the public schools have no money now because you took it. That money doesn't fall from the sky.

> let failing institutions fail

Okay, so you agree with me. If we go down this path public education will fall. Once again this is the nature of this political movement, not a side effect.

> If you think accreditation criteria are too lax for private schools, then that is a workable objection

Sigh. No, no it's not. Because then you have a school that has accreditation and curriculum managed by the government that receives public funds.

Um... you just described a public school. That will never happen because the very idea is at odds with the ideology behind it.

The idea isn't "public school 2.0". The fact private schools have no standards is not an oversight, it's the motivation.
> At this price point, it’s easy enough to throw one in your basket when you’re already spending a decent chunk of change and be done with it, safe in the knowledge that you have a well-performing boot device. I do still think it’s a bit naff that the M.2 HAT+ doesn’t fit in the official case but I won’t re-open that can of worms.

An rpi5 plus M.2 hat plus a branded ssd and you are well into the realm of Intel N100 SBC that don’t need a hat, have a good GPU with encoding/decoding and a lot of CPU power. I really don’t understand rpi anymore beyond the Zero, 2040 and CM range for commercial use.

There is no false dichotomy in my comment. I'm quite happy using Go. It was easy to pick up, the executables work fast and flawlessly and as a language it delivers the required results in what I do so far. Time will tell, but its simplicity does work great for me, and I've tried quite a lot of languages in the past 2 decades.
Django Admin: Implementing Reverse ManyToMany Filters with Horizontal Widget
The key assumption is that T and H may not have the same probability, but each flip isn't correlated with past or future flips. Therefore, TH and HT have the same probability. So you can think of TH as "A" and HT as "B" then you repeatedly flip twice until you get one of those outcomes. So now your coin outputs A and B with equal probability.

I appreciate the honesty and straightforwardness in this post given your position. Thank you.
It's an often used quote, but because it bears keeping in mind: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."

A look at data for how many people were aware the whole time during any scandal, and how often abuse and crime gets covered up or exploited instead of reported or opposed, will leave you with a very banal impression of malice. "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

…Idk, companies are just groups of people. Maybe people also need stronger incentives to not let the "company" do antisocial things. At least the execs.

Maybe it's the companies that hide it. Maybe it's the people that lie to themselves. I'm sure they're smart enough; they can probably figure it out. At some point ignorance becomes wilful.

What I would realllly like is AI autocomplete that is somehow sensitive to my mental map of the code I'm writing. There's too often a temptation when writing something brand new to get to a semi working proof of concept as fast as possible with an LLM, but it's now like 1000 lines of code that I really don't understand.

Previously I used to obey a rule that if I ever use LLM generated code, I have to manually type it in - so that I myself have the familiarity of every symbol in the code. This helped considerably reduce that problem. But I stopped doing that out of laziness.

Thanks for the reply and sharing that. That fits my understanding and makes sense. Given the amount of time invested, you should really establish beforehand whether it's a worthy thesis or not. I guess the defense is more about establishing whether the work is really your own and you didn't have other people do the work that you don't understand.
> still believe minimum wage should be $6.75 even though they also believe inflation has made groceries too expensive. Are they just stuck in the past or are they nutty?

They're nutty. Other older people manage to understand the value of things and wages in the world now in comparison to when they were younger. I'm only in my 40s, I get surprised by changes since I was in my 20s, but each surprise is an update.
