It's funny because I've had the opposite heuristic most of my line: the things I want to do most are whatever is hardest. This worked great for building my maths and physics skills and knowledge.

But when I started focusing on making money I've come to believe it's a bad heuristic for that purpose.
The article points out very nicely that it is expensive (in space terms) to have cars integrate safely with the pedestrian and bicycle traffic of dense urban areas. The mismatch in size and speed requires buffer zones that must be dedicated to this function only.
I, for one, do not prefer native mobile apps, I'd be happy to use web, but companies actively degrade my experience there, and shove their apps in my face because this way they can track me and serve ads.

If what you're saying were the real reason, that soap dispensers from Boeing cost more because of paperwork, then Boeing should be able to calculate what it will cost to do all the paperwork and offer a fixed price up-front that allows them to make a reasonable profit after all that paperwork is paid for. In fact, they cannot. Or they refuse to. Either one, Boeing is rotten.

I moved from the U.S. to the Netherlands nine years ago, and I can attest that the bike infrastructure is amazing and has an outsized impact on your quality of life and general happiness.

Being able to bike everywhere — safely, quickly, without any cultural baggage of "being one of those bicycle people" — is a total game-changer.

It's one of those things that sounds kooky to people who haven't actually experienced it. When American friends and family ask me what I love most about living here and I say "the bike infrastructure," reactions range from a polite smile to eye-rolling.

On paper it doesn't sound particularly sexy, but in reality the impact on your day-to-day life is immense. Your health, your connection to the immediate environment, your cost savings, your time/stress savings, your sense of freedom of movement.

My kids walked to school from about age 7 or so. Same as when I was young. When I do drop them off (because we are late or there is a blizzard or whatever) I'm a bit ashamed and hope no one sees me driving. Now we have 2 pedestrian crossings on the way to school. one really busy, but luckily it has lights. The one without lights is designed so the road shrinks to single file so cars can't meet at the crossing, but have to take turns passing.
parent comment was a bit tounge-in-cheek but I'll continue the sentiment: You're saying that the curiosity is "natural" hence one is either born with it or not.

Ideally a satellite is in a given orbit for years. If junk is destroying it in weeks or even months you’ve got a massive issue.

However a rocket is spending in a seconds in that same orbit. Thus a rocket passing through may only have say 1:10,000 odds of a collision on its way to mars while satellites are getting shredded.

I agree, the bike infrastructure in Paris is now quite good. If only cyclists in Paris would start to stop at red lights, especially at pedestrian crossings (this is a problem everywhere, of course, but in Paris it seems to be particularly bad).
Definitely not for prod, but I used to have (and recommend: https://www.bitecode.dev/i/114175324/whats-a-good-name-for-a...) a giant venv just for my laptop scripts. Having one per script is too much, but none is inviting pain.

The problem with that is that eventually too many scripts means you will hit incompatibilities in Python where you can only install one version of a lib in each venv.

This trick is perfect because:

- From now on, I always install uv on all my machines anyway.

- After the first run, not only the cache make it fast, but it uses hard links so that you don't even pay the of multiple install on disk space (that's also how they are so fast in creating the envs, that and some interesting HTTP/zip tricks: https://www.bitecode.dev/p/charlie-marsh-on-astral-uv-and-th...).

- Deps are clearly defined in the script, so it's self-documenting.

For prod, shiv (https://shiv.readthedocs.io/) is probably your best bet but I'm betting uv will come up with a version of that soon.

`uv` is definitely not a wrapper. It's written from scratch. If you mean by wrapper that it's mostly compatible with pip (using `uv pip`), that's one of their adoption strategies to make it easier to switch to.

Roughly the same size as if the street had 2 car lanes on each side. In fact this is what I've seen living here in Amsterdam for a few years, every once in a while they remove a lane or two from some street and beef up these security features as well as add more pedestrian space.

It's cheaper to maintain extra fat sidewalks and stuff than 2 more lanes of asfalct also.

Nobody ever doubted that fusion ignition was physically possible. It happens in stars all the time, and people have achieved it in thermonuclear weapons.

When it comes to crypto mining, choosing the right app is crucial for maximizing efficiency and returns. With so many apps available, it can be overwhelming to determine which one is the best. In this article, we'll explore the best crypto mining app options, focusing on features, ease of use, and profitability, while also looking at the BlockDAG technology.

What Makes a Crypto Mining App the Best?

The best crypto mining apps stand out for their ability to provide users with a seamless and profitable mining experience. Features such as ease of use, compatibility with both Android and iPhone, low energy consumption, and the potential for earning real cryptocurrency are key factors. Additionally, a good app should support Bitcoin mining free or offer free mining options for beginners.

With the growing interest in decentralized finance (DeFi), mining apps that allow users to mine Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies on their mobile devices are becoming increasingly popular. Many people are looking for crypto miner apps that offer flexibility, allowing them to mine from anywhere, whether on a smartphone or tablet.

Popular Crypto Mining App

Several mining apps have earned a reputation for their performance and user-friendly features. These apps often provide users with the opportunity to mine Bitcoin free, with some apps even offering rewards or payouts in Bitcoin or other popular cryptocurrencies. One app that has been making waves in the crypto space is BlockDAG.

BlockDAG is a next-generation blockchain technology that allows for faster and more efficient mining with lower energy consumption. This innovative technology is an excellent choice for miners looking to optimize their efforts. Mining apps that integrate BlockDAG technology can provide improved scalability, higher transaction throughput, and lower latency compared to traditional blockchain-based mining apps. This makes BlockDAG a great option for anyone looking to maximize their crypto mining potential.

When it comes to choosing the best crypto mining app, it’s essential to consider factors like ease of use, profitability, and supported technologies. Whether you're looking to mine Bitcoin free or explore the future of mining with BlockDAG.
"Dismantle Boeing and the Air Force, immediately"
> I can understand that people believe this, but why do they do? Nothing in our society operates in a way that might imply this.

Sure, but that disconnect between what people think and how things work is almost fully general over all subjects.

I've seen people (behave as if they) think translation is just the words, but that leads to "hydraulic ram" becoming "water sheep". People who want antibiotics for viral infections, or who refuse vaccines (covid and other) claiming they're "untested" or have "side effects" while promoting alternatives that both failed testing and have known side effects. I've seen people speak as if government taxation only exists because the guy in charge of taxes is, personally, greedy. I've heard anecdotes of people saying that you can get people to follow the rules by saying "first rule is to always follow the rules" and directly seen people talk as if banning something is sufficient to make it stop.

The idea that it's even possible to do make a model like this from the user data, is probably mind-blowing to a lot of people.

The naïve assumption most people seem to have is that computers do only what they, personally as end-users, tell them to do, and that they're as slow as the ad-riddled web front-end with needlessly slow transition animations placed there to keep user engagement high — rather than the truth, that software primarily does what the operator of the service wants it to do, and that it's absolutely possible for a home PC[0] to hold and query a database of all 8 billion people on the planet and the two trillion or so different personal relationships between them.

When GenAI images were new, some of the artists communities said "That content generated can reference hundreds, even thousands of pieces of work from other artists to create derivative images"[1], rather than millions of images, because the scale of computer performance is far beyond the comprehension of the average person. The fact that the average single image contributes so little to any given model that it can't even represent its own filename, even moreso.

And so it is with stuff like this: what can be done, cannot be comprehended by the people who, theoretically, gave consent that their data be used in that way.

[0] Of course, these days most people don't have home PCs; phone, perhaps a tablet, they may have a small low performance media server if they're fancy, but what we here would think of as a PC is to all that as a Ferrari etc. is to a Honda Civic.

> Here you can see that a car drivers waiting for people cycling are never in the way of other people in cars.

Am I blind or does it only work for just one or maybe two cars?
The article doesn't deal with what happens when the queue gets bigger than one. It looks like a second car would queue on the main road, blocking traffic.

To eliminate this you could turn the buffer into a whole extra lane with room for say 5 cars to queue, but this would compromise on the nice feature where the partially turned car gets to completely turn and have great vision of the cycle lanes in both directions.

It's an interesting article, but from a systems design perspective I'd be much more interested in how they handle a change in requirements like "there are now five times more cars turning left here than the intersection was designed for".
It seems insane that your personal choices are bound to your family situation- especially when you are an adult.

Just the idea that parents in the US are expected to pay for their children's education is so wrong.
> run every trimestre

From another non-native speaker, the term you are looking for is "quarter". As in: a quarter of a year, as 12/4=3 months.
1000% agree. We moved 7 years ago and now have 4 kids. It is so valuable that my preteens can bike to tennis, friends, etc safely, even at night. Or that you can pop a toddler to childcare without a car seat and parking. Last year we finally got a car. I hardly ever use it.

And remember, the bike infrastructure was only built in the past 30-40 years. Before that, the Netherlands had a super car-focused infrastructure. It was only after the “stop murdering our children” political campaigns that the car focus shifted.

I haven't read the entire article, but this is a very common situation: main road with two cycle paths crosses a minor road (or has two side roads at the same place). All roads are also for cars. I'm not sure why the article makes such a difference between the two side roads: they seem quite similar apart from the one-car waiting space before the cycle path.
For some reason I expected this to be related to FFT convolutions.
I have a question to the PHP-in-production crowd: how long do you wait before migrating to higher version of PHP? Is the first release usually already fine, or is it better to wait for a few months and let someone else catch the early errors?

This interplay between intuition and logic is exactly what makes the magic happen. You need intuition to feel your way forward, and then logic to solidify your progress so far, and also for ideas maybe not directly accessible via intuition only. I've experienced that myself, and it is even well-documented, because I wrote technical reports and such at each stage. My discovery of Abstraction Logic went through various stages:

1) First, I had a vague vision of how I want to do mathematics on a computer, based on my experience in interactive theorem proving, and what I didn't like about the current state of affairs: https://doi.org/10.47757/practal.1

2) Then, I had a big breakthrough. It was still quite confused, but what I called back then "first-order abstract syntax" already contained the basic idea: https://obua.com/publications/practical-types/1/

3) I tried to make sense of this then by developing abstraction logic: https://doi.org/10.47757/abstraction.logic.1 .
After a while I realized that this version only allowed universes consisting of two elements, because I didn't
distinguish between equality and logical equality, which then led to a revised version: https://doi.org/10.47757/abstraction.logic.2

4) My work so far was dominated by intuition based on syntax, and I slowly understood the semantic structures behind this:
the mathematical universe consisting of values, and operations and operators on top of that: https://obua.com/publications/philosophy-of-abstraction-logi...

5) I started to play around with this version of abstraction logic by experimenting with automating it, giving a
talk about it at a conference, (unsuccessfully) trying to publish a paper about it, and implementing a VSCode
plugin for it. As a result of using that plugin I realized that my understanding until now of what axioms are was too narrow:
https://practal.com/press/aair/1/

6) As a consequence of my new understanding, I realized that besides terms, templates are also essential: https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.00358

7) I decided to consolidate my understanding through a book. By taking templates seriously from the start when writing,
I realized their true importance, which led to a better syntax for terms as well, and to a clearer presentation of Abstraction Algebra. It also opened up my thinking
of how Abstraction Algebra is turned into Abstraction Logic: https://practal.com/abstractionlogic/

8) Still lots of stuff to do ...

I would not be surprised if that is exactly the way forward for AIs as well. They clearly have cracked (some sort of) intuition now, and we now need to add that interplay between logic and intuition to the mix.

> 400 bn EUR [...] Which worked and delivered a downward trajectory for LCOE which put solar, wind and soon batteries on the map.

400bn€ represents 26 European pressured nuclear at the current Olkiluoto cost . With 1.6GW per reactor, so around 42.6GW of raw stable power for Germany. Almost 70% of the entire freaking German consumption.

Considering the installed Hydro and solar capacity, the entire electricity production would be de-carbonated at ~80% in Germany if this amount would have been spent on Nuclear instead of masturbation.
