Personal tracking of goals is going to need to be, well, personal. Sounds dumb and obvious but reading how others do things can only give you ideas to try. You must try them out though. I found digital tracking systems for personal goals don’t work well for me, having something physical in front of me works better. I’ve tried bullet journaling after being mesmerized by the elaborate journals people create with multiple colors, etc. and that doesn’t suit my personality. I’m more practical. Simple todo lists with pen/paper.

Work tracking systems from employers usually have the planning and organizing element being done by other people with lists of tickets/issues left as artifacts for developers to pick up. Maybe try an approach where you spend time organizing and planning items for a personal goal in a way where you the implementor can just “pick up” tasks as if it was someone else assigning them to you.

The thing that has worked most recently for me was using techniques from Atomic Habits. I added a new solid hygiene habit and feel immensely successful. I haven’t found success for other changes, (yet!). It is hard, especially when there are no external motivators (employer wanting results, etc.) Small progress is going to be the norm. Changing too many things at once is likely to fail.
That was mostly how the big scientific breakthroughs came in the 1800-1900s .. independent wealth.

That’s what a “scholar” is and Universities provided the perfect environment for that to thrive, which is no longer the case.
The article is neutral on the impacts of needing less sleep. It's not proposing an increase in productivity or how to use more waking hours.

Its main raison d'etre is we're all sleep deprived so engineering less sleep may provide health and wellness benefits.
I thought the same, which made me think this was a spoof.

Took me a while to figure it out, but I quite like the approach. Could be used in other areas with a risk of groupthink taking over.
These devices do not depend on the cloud. If I want to take my Sol-Ark inverter offline I can just take the wifi dongle off it. Dunno about the bootleg Deye one.
My experience has been otherwise. There’s almost never a reason to be playing with something like db_connection._socket, but in that one place in your codebase you really really need to, it’s a lifesaver to have access to it.

Linters should be shouting about it and in the PR you’d need to explain why you turned off the warnings to do it anyway, with comments explaining why there was no other feasible option and this was the least bad choice.

BTW, I rarely write _methods and almost never __protected attributes. _something just means “it’s here but you really shouldn’t be playing with it.” I don’t see an advantage to using __anything.
Anything at 300 C or below can be provided from renewable sources using industrial heat pumps. Heat is very storable, compared to electrical energy, so if the end user needs heat they could make the heat when renewable energy is cheap and store it, potentially for very long periods. Some district heating systems involve seasonal storage, essentially artificially charged geothermal. Nuclear thermal would be competing with otherwise curtailed renewable energy, which can be very cheap on the margin.
1. Learn you slicer settings!
Support setting in particular can make a huge difference

2. Different brands of filament may need different printing temperatures.

3. Use printables, thingiverse, cult3d, yeggi, etc to find models to print :-)

4. ABS fumes are poisonous (formaldehyde)
This is a fun thought experiment, but our working definition of life is something along the lines of heritable metabolizing, which dreaming doesn't so obviously serve.
> As recent, on-patent drugs, they are very, very expensive ($360/month...

Expensive is always relative to one's income. But, to put that number into perspective relative to another medication given for a good night's sleep:

I'm the parent of a narcoleptic. The meds to get a good night's sleep, Xyrem, are in the $15k / month range. The recently approved generics are 1/2 that.
My understanding is that one factor pushing hyperscalers towards dual-socket was the cost of the network fabric - for the longest time, having two CPU sockets per NIC / per leaf switch port was the overall system price/performance sweet spot for many workloads. More sockets required more expensive CPUs, while single-socket servers need twice as many NICs and twice as many top-of-rack switchports.

With newer/faster ethernet standards you still need twice as many NICs but you can often split the lanes coming out of a switch chip and use a Y cable.
In some disconnecting the antenna isn't enough, it just reduces the range of the modem. Another option is if the modem can be physically removed.

e.g. http://sandsprite.com/blogs/index.php?uid=7&pid=462&year=201.... I think this head unit is shared amongst Chrysler vehicles, so Chrysler is an option (but then you'll have two problems).
> which, inexplicably, Swift didn't just repeat

There is 30 year between both languages. Apple learned something in that time. Also Mojo looks like Python and is tied to some kind of AI thing, that is very confusing.
If you’re arguing that OpenAI should be compelled to make all their technology and models free then I think we all agree, but it sounds like you’re trying to weasel your way into letting a corpo get away with breaking the law while running away with billions.
This is great.

I used to avoid burl when I would make wood rings [1]. It's just very hard to predict how it'll behave if you try to steam bend it.

Do you think parking barriers would be useful?
Legality of Remote-Controlled Parking Barriers
Remote-controlled parking barriers are becoming increasingly popular in urban areas, where parking spaces are limited and the need for secure and private parking solutions is growing. However, the question arises: are these devices legal?
Patched ;)
> five-phase reconstruction of the development of the imagery on the disc seems to be the likeliest sequence for the disc’s development. In the earliest version, an elaborately encoded image reflects sophisticated astronomical knowledge. In subsequent stages this was forgotten and replaced by traditional knowledge, which was focused on the interaction of the heavenly bodies and the horizon; and finally, this reduced knowledge gave way to mythology

It's interesting that the oldest part of the artifact has the most advanced astronomical information.
> Charging overnight as far as I understand is a bonus proposition

I would disagree with it being just a bonus proposition, since it imo is part of the inherent advantages.

And while i do agree with you that in many cases it will still be an overall favorable comparison for EVs vs ICE cars, i think there is no denying that between being able to charge at home for cheap and having to rely on public chargers there's a value (and convenience) difference.

I am not really up to date with how pricing looks (so feel free to correct me), but i think in Germany electricity at home is on average like 27ct/kWh, and on public chargers you pay between 40ct on the low end (possibly with some monthly base cost) up to 80ct on the high end for some DC fast chargers.
Possibly. But I believe the mechanism for the movement of the planets was believed to be crystal spheres.

Another possibility is that the Pythagoreans actually described the earth rotating around a central fire or Hestia. If that wasn’t the sun, it might have been the center of the earth — and the counter earth was actually the antipodes.

When you see the source texts describing these things, it is terribly vague. Yet, Copernicus described himself as bringing back the Pythagorean ideas—
Extreme ultraviolet lithography originated with paper out of Bell Labs in 1991, then US government funded multiple research efforts via national nuclear research labs that came up with a potential method to implement but it took 20 more years of trial and error by ASML to make a practical machine they could sell. Other companies tried and gave up because of the technical challenges. This advance is responsible for modern chip fabs fastest chips.
If price didn't matter, what would be the best performing CPU available today? With lots of PCIe lanes and high single-thread performance?
No, I'm not. It's apples and oranges, without a doubt. But, when I look at what car fits my needs. It was an Outback before, and the major factor was reliability. The Leaf has performed admirably there, with only the equivalent ICE components needing servicing. I probably wouldn't buy a BMW, but my friend would and that's where we started - hey EV's are really heavy, I wonder how much heavier it is than my car? Huh, TIL.
The article is very real and human written and highly intelligent regardless of its merits.

So a bit of a false positive for your mental model.

This never ending slowly creeping lawfare attack on individual freedom (through both judicial and legislative avenues) is one of the reasons I am willing to spend more money on "piracy" than whatever it costs to rent access to media.
> California's constitution would apply to California companies hosting people in their spaces.

> It would absolutely apply between California users and Californian companies

According to the Supremacy Clause, the Constitution of the United States (which includes its own First Amendment) overrides any state constitution.

> Many malls have been forced to allow demonstrators due to it.

The article I linked [1] in my previous comment explains why a shopping mall could be forced to host peaceful demonstrations but a social media site can't be forced to host similar speech:

> As AELP admits, the Supreme Court’s 1974 Miami Herald opinion held that the First Amendment prohibited Florida from requiring a newspaper to print a political candidate’s reply to a critical article. According to AELP, PruneYard distinguished Miami Herald by holding that “open-access laws do not present the same First Amendment concerns as right-to-reply laws.” That is false. The Supreme Court didn’t say anything about open-access laws. It said that Miami Herald “rests on the principle that the State cannot tell a newspaper what it might print.”

> AELP tries to salvage its imaginary distinction between open-access and right-to-reply laws by insisting that “the Miami Herald newspaper did not hold its pages open to all members of the public.” That is also false. Yes, newspapers exercise “editorial discretion” over which articles they print. But newspapers don’t just publish articles, they also publish ads. And they’re generally happy to publish advertisements by anyone willing to pay. AELP insists that “Newspapers are exclusive publications; the public cannot, at any moment, publish their views in the New York Times.” Yes, they can. All they have to do is buy an ad. So, newspapers are, in fact, “open to all members of the public” willing to pay for the privilege. In AELP’s terms, newspapers are and always have been “open-access.”

> That’s fatal to AELP’s argument. According to AELP, the First Amendment allows states to prohibit social media companies from censoring users, because social media websites are “open-access.” But newspapers are also “open-access,” because anyone can buy an advertisement. So, AELP’s argument necessarily implies that the First Amendment also allows states to prohibit newspapers from censoring advertisers.

> Wrong. The Supreme Court explicitly said the opposite in PruneYard itself. And if the First Amendment means anything, it means that the government can’t tell newspapers what to print.

> What’s the real difference between Miami Herald and PruneYard? It’s simple. Newspapers are in the speech business and shopping malls aren’t. The First Amendment says the government can’t force you to share someone else’s speech, but sometimes it can require you to tolerate speech you dislike. And which is social media more like? The business that is in the speech business, or a shopping mall where speech has nothing to do with its business?

I really hate to rain on people's parade or discourage them, but honestly - this is not only incredibly low-effort AI slop but dangerous low-effort AI slop.

It appears you did little or possibly no research into existing tools, talked to no actual teachers about their needs, or even put any thought into it. An AI slop generater itself generated by AI, with no reference to market needs ... and you expect people to use it to educate children?

Please, just take this down.
I love this type of art. I make digital geometric art, currently complex tilings, at https://andrewwulf.com (not selling any, just showing it). Geometry and math can be very appealing to people although it’s not that popular commercially today outside of NFTs. Repetition and variation can be powerful tools in art.

There are maps

https://luminocity3d.org/WorldPopDen/#8/46.894/7.127

vs

https://luminocity3d.org/WorldPopDen/#8/37.766/-120.721

those are the same zoom level.

I'd argue they show the bay area can sustain far more trains than it currently has.

If you check a Swiss train map you'll see they cover tons of tiny cities.

It's true that Zurich is more dense than San Jose. Some would suggest that's part of the problem. San Jose is less dense because it's missing the public transportation and therefore everyone needs a car, everyone needs places to park that car when shopping, working, sleeping. Everyone is driving to the city so lots of large roads are needed for the cars and so everything expands into car infrastructure. Public transportation enables urban density.
Caches between CPU and GPU are extremely complex.

Not only because caching is complex in CPU land, but because GPU has a completely different set of caches (and registers) that depends entirely on architecture.

Case in point: GPUs often have access to 256 architectural registers aka 1024-bytes of register space. Now this depends on how much occupancy your GPU code is targeting (maybe 4-occupancy?), but there's a lot you can do with even 64-registers (aka: 4-occupancy and 256-bytes of register space), and is key to making those blazing fast FP16 matrix-multiplication kernels "for AI" everyone's so hot about right now.

For something like FP16 matrix multiply (a very cache-friendly problem), the entire SIMD (all 32-lanes) of the GPU symmetric multiprocessor work together on the problem. So we're talking about an effective 32kB of __register space__ (let alone cache or other memory in the hierarchy).

Even before FP16 matrix-multiply instructions, this absurd register space advantage is why GPUs were the king of matrix multiplication.

--------

GPUs are worse at larger cache sizes, say 1MB or 2MB. At 1MB+, a modern CPU core's L2 cache can hold all of that (either Intel P-core, AMD Zen5, or even Intel E-core can hold many MB in L2).

GPUs have a secret though: a crossbar at the __shared__ memory level. Rearranging memory and data across your lanes can be done through this crossbar (including many-to-one reductions for atomics, or one-to-many broadcasts in just a single clock tick). So your GPU-lanes have incredible communication available to them (and this crossbar is the key for modern ballot / voting based horizontal compute of modern GPU styles). This is only ~64kB of space and shared between all GPU-lanes but with 1024-lanes supporting communication its an important element of GPU memory.

CPU L3 cache is very nice from a latency perspective, but bandwidth wise L3 cache is on the order of GPU's GDDR6x or HBM. 500GB/s to 2000GB/s, depending on the technology.

Finally, CPU DDR5 RAM may be the slowest in this discussion, but its the biggest. 2TB+ Xeon Servers aren't even that expensive and can be assumed for any serious tech firm these days (ie: all-RAM Databases and whatnot).

---------

So at different sizes and different use-scenarios, GPUs and CPUs will trade places. I'd expect CPUs to win most red-and-black tree races, but GPUs will win matrix multiplication. Both take advantage of "cache" but in very different ways.
Python got a massive push from Google too. At one point (Early 2000s?) they were hiring a ton of python developers.
>people aren't lining up to stay stationary and press buttons

I've always gathered there's quite a waiting list to get in. This from a tube driver:

>You need to find a role within TfL. It doesn't have to be customer facing, but it has to be something within TfL. Once you're employed for 6 months with TfL, you can apply for Train Operator, when the job is available. If you pass all the interviews and assessments, you'll be entered into a queue before you start training. This could be a couple of years. In short, yes it is pretty hard to get the job of tube driver. https://www.reddit.com/r/LondonUnderground/comments/ti7skk/h...

Mostly because there aren't that many lowish skilled jobs paying £70k for a 35 hour week in London.
I've been externally primed on emperors giving thumbs up and down lately. Sounds like the author was living with similar assumptions.
I don't know why this is downvoted. It's entirely feasible that weaknesses in a species (or its individuals) may be beneficial for the ecosystem and hence survival of the species in the long term.

E.g. rabbit population being culled by predators may prevent the rabbits from eating their feed plants to extinction.
> Recently there is evidence Toyota is either struggling on this metric. Quality problems or deliberate design intent change?

I'm hoping they fix this. There's almost no other reason to buy a Toyota other than this reliability reputation.

It seems like the way to go now is a naturally-aspirated Subaru, which I ended up after all the Toyota dealers near me treated me like a chump (which apparently is common; Toyota doesn't have as much "say" over their dealers as other similar companies afaik). Subies have basically been iterations on the same engine for a decade (the FB series), and the brand cannot afford to do much goofy R&D. They're also still dealing with the head gasket reputation despite that being >10 years old at this point (almost 20).
I am very impressed. I asked chat.ruliad.co

Beginning from the values for fundamental physical constants, is it possible to derive the laws of entropy ?

and then based on its response to that I asked it

Based on this analysis, can you identify and describe where the dividing line is between (a) the region where (microscopic/atomic) processes are reversible, and (b) the region where macroscopic processes are irreversible ?
I don’t see how this math could depend on a point of view.

You can have 100 men and 1 woman, and predicting future population will have nothing to do with how many men there are (as long as there is at least 1 fertile man).

But if you have even just 1 man, having 10 women versus 100 women makes an enormous difference in potential future population.
What are you trying to find? It's not the quality of search that has declined but the quality of the web itself. What used to be interesting blogs are now ad-filled SEO garbage. Good content is now more and more behind logins and paywalls. So much of the rest is bot generated.

Search as a concept is useless unless you know exactly what you are looking for and know that it will be in the top 3 results (for example a company's official website or a wikipedia article).
On your website when you switch to annual plan it still shows per month. Meaning the annual plan personal looks like $69.99/mo, not $69.99 total for the year.

Can this record loopback so you can capture both audio in and out on, say, a Teams call? Otter.ai can’t do this on web. Seems like none can without a thick client on Windows. With Mac I realize it’s easier, but this is for my wife and Mac isn’t an option for her at work.
Not OP, but I've been using melatonin every night, no exception, and it's been very helpful. I use a much lower dose (between 0.3mg and 0.5mg), and it's worked completely fine, so I would suggest that you start very low and only increase if you really need it.

You might want to look at the constitutional amendment enshrining slave labor "as a punishment for a crime," and the world's largest prison population. Much of your food supply has links to prison labor.

https://apnews.com/article/prison-to-plate-inmate-labor-inve...

But don't worry, it's not considered "slave labor" because there's a nominal wage of a few pennies involved and it's not technically "forced." You just might be tortured with solitary confinement if you don't do it.

We need to point fewer fingers and clean up the problems here.

Honestly surprised folks have been suggesting Logic hasn't been losing users, I had the perception that was common knowledge (like I've said elsewhere mainly due to the Ableton Live effect, which has cornered a subsection of the market, and my own subjective evaluation of their new features, which... give the perception of an application floundering to me). In any event, I'm going to stop saying that because I don't think those two data points are strong enough to back up my original statement.

Re Final Cut, Apple has released user numbers as recent as 2018: "more than 2.5 million seats" https://www.apple.com/ca/newsroom/2018/04/final-cut-pro-x-up... Adobe Creative Cloud is estimated to have 33 million users by comparison https://prodesigntools.com/number-of-creative-cloud-subscrib...

Re Final Cut, I would have agreed it was mainly just losing the high-end a few years ago, but the sheer volume of YouTube videos taking about switching from Final Cut (and Premiere) to DaVinci Resolve is hard to ignore. Final Cut seems squeezed by Premiere/Avid on the high-end and Resolve on the low end.
Then you need to have editors specify which features they support and create common standards to make sure that two editors that support the same feature can actually understand each others' encodings of it. It's unfortunately too true that we will never have a single, perfect standard in any domain. It falls upon us to create smaller standards and be explicit in which ones we each dabble in. Otherwise there are no standards at all.
The label on the Tesla site in the past has always been “FSD capable”. For years the FSD software was only available to a very small set of beta testers even if you had paid for it.
