Just to chip in with the drive-by website feedback, I just realized that (I love everything about this and) I have no idea how big either the espresso machine or the grinder is. I think I'd really need some realistic (ish) kitchen photos with it in action to really appreciate what I'd be ordering.
Hah! Thanks for bringing that to my attention. :)
Are you referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C4%81tauranga_M%C4%81ori

If so, then it seems to me that there's much more nuance than "mythology as science". Certainly there are aspects of traditional knowledge that deal directly with facts and therefore could be in conflict with science. However, that's not the same as recognizing that different cultures can have different ways of understanding and thinking about the world. Understanding those different ways of understanding could be a valuable tool in allowing society to develop creative approaches to problems.
> There's no reason to send people other than to show we can.

That is true for lots of other things. What's the point of building the Taj Mahal? What's the point of running a marathon? What's the point of getting the world record for the longest time spent underwater? Just to show that we can.

> Elon's plan would make a lot more sense if Mars was an Earth 2.0 and we just needed to move a bunch of people there, but it's not and even if we do find something really close to Earth with JWST, it would take centuries to get there.

I agree that we probably won't be able to have a viable Mars colony in our lifetime. However, I do think that the pursuit of that goal will result in lots of useful inventions; just look at what SpaceX has accomplished already.

No, you are mistaken, as were the Linux engineers who embedded that assumption into /dev/random. (That has been resolved on the Linux side for some time now.) I will claim (without evidence) to be a subject matter expert on this topic.

The vitriol is because the spread of the "theory" led directly to the harassment of Sandy Hook victims by people who believed they were "crisis actors."

When I first heard the news about intel doing graphics card, I found it funny. I thought, "are they really this desperate?". But reading the reviews and hearing other peoples experience, they seem to actually deliver something valuable here, wow

Hash tables and related data structures.
Actually, the point values should be printed on each tile so they do not have to be memorized, though it may help in considering the opponent's responses if they have certain letters that combine with yours.

And it's also acceptable to have a pre-printed scoresheet where one can track the letters that have been played so that would show the frequency of each.

Tracking helps one a lot at the end as you know what letters your opponent has and can adjust your play to suit. Of course, at most tournament level play, they have been tracking and know your final rack too.
Yes, but in my opinion it falls to the patient to figure out the details and absorb the risk. That's the messed up part. That insurance providers and medical services might disagree on pricing or whatnot is an inevitability. What's not fair is throwing ordinary people under the bus to deal with it, which for many reasons is risky and can ruin lives.
This was very impressive to read and while I don’t have the technical Knowledge to do this, it reminded me of “fixing” my mental health when Stanford Psychiatrists diagnosed me and said I’d be on pills the rest of my life, incurable.

Years later, after rebuilding my psyche from scratch, happy to report they were wrong.

But striking similarities, where the “professionals” just didn’t bother to solve a solvable problem.
Here's the full SchiHub note:

----

> So far Sci-Hub has collected donations in normal cryptocurrencty only, but few days ago a surpise came: Sci-Hub received a large portion of ... meme tokens named after the project. The total amount of funding received by Sci-Hub, by current exchange rate, is about $2M. But how long will that funding last?

> Meme coins are in trend today, but usually they do not last long: after becoming viral these coins slowly decline in price and eventually die. That is a normal lifecycle for a meme. But Sci-Hub is obviously much more than a meme: the website has a mission to make all of science open - and it is working towards that goal since 2011, for more than 10 years already (yes, there are recently some problems with new papers, but they are temporary).

> Indeed, it would be great if science had its own distributed cryptocurrency, that could be used to fund research projects, journal publications, awards and others. The idea itself is not new: there have been quite a few projects that attempted to implement it, but they did not succeed.

> But Sci-Hub meme coin succeeded, at least for now: the token has more than >16K holders and a market cap around 20M. We need to build upon this initial success, and who knows? Perhaps in the future the coin will be default currency in science.

> All in all, the funding that Sci-Hub received will be spent to support more open science initiatives. For example, why not to start rewarding authors for publishing their work in open journals?

> To support the initiative, you can install Solana wallet and buy some of Sci-Hub tokens. Donate part of them to Sci-Hub, and keep the other part until it grows. And join Sci-Hub meme coin community of course!

I too think demons exist but metaphorically only, in terms subconscious desires of the mind and how they manifest. For bad demons for example serial killers often report they feel possesed by demons. Demons and God(s) are deep irrational projections of the human mind. Power and greed could also be viewed throw this prism.

Having worked with some of the concurrency issues mentioned and observed both failures and successes, I’d like to share a perspective: developers who struggle most with concurrency often lack a formal Computer Science background. This isn’t to say that a CS degree is the only path to competence, but it provides structured exposure to concepts like concurrency through coursework, exams, and practical projects. These academic challenges can help solidify an understanding that’s harder to acquire in a fragmentary way
If the distribution of bits isn't better, you would prefer a faster hash for a table that doesn't care about adversarial inputs. (And if you do care about adversarial inputs, I think you need an actually secure hash? Medium confidence on that.)

Most people who aren't self-motivated will almost completely stop studying anything new after university anyway, and will still end up far behind the motivated people. Far better if they were put in a situation where they were forced to learn how to motivate themselves and study of their own accord.

So, questions for people that know more than I: What's up with the 'passing' and 'failing' hashes in SMHasher3?

Specifically, what happened to xxHash[1] to kick it down to the 'failing' category? I'm not certain about SMHasher's testing criteria, but comparing the benchmark numbers posed in Rain vs xxHash show xxH3 rather faster? Not that a have a personally vested intersted in xxHash, but it seems to be a rather widely used (e.g. RocksDB [2]) with a number of implementations - it would be useful to understand the criteria that make it no longer a passing SMHasher3 entry.

I used fusion to design and printed ergonomic/partial prototypes on Prusa 3d printers. Then, I fortunately had a ton of manufacturing contacts because I have worked as somewhat of a production engineer before. Some parts were definitely difficult, especially the outer burr of the grinder (there were a couple viable ways to make it, but it is sometimes difficult to find a shop that is price competitive in say wire EDM machining and 5 axis CNC, or CNC and casting, so you have to get shops to coordinate with eachother) or the wood arch (because high volume wood shops are not nearly as technologically sophisticated as metalworking shops)

PCBway is a good option now, especially for 3D printed metal parts. They have CNC as well but they tend to struggle with anything that has complicated geometry or features. But 3D printing doesn't require approval, and for one offs is often cheaper.

That's the kind of reasoning the USSR's Communist party embraced back then. It turns out that state planning of research doesn't works very well in the long run. In the short term it kind of does because all you have to do is catch-up with the state of the art in a handful of priority domains, but when these domains stale then you're screwed because that's all the research you have.

I thought the problem with all of these metal air batteries is the sluggish oxygen reduction reaction at the air cathode. It just seems too slow for a high power density - need high surface area. The air cathode in this experiment is a gas diffusion layer embedded with trimolybdenum phosphide nanoparticle (seems common with these, others use platinum and iridium), with a current density of 0.1 mA/cm2. Need 1m2 of air cathode for 10 amps. I wonder how that ORR can be sped up or use smaller surface area. Could some kind of forced induction supercharger type thing work for these? I'm not a chemist.
It's insane that someone needs to die for a serious discussion about it to take place.
The trick is to discern which input stream is of which source. We have positive thoughts/feelings, negative thoughts/feelings, and our own thoughts/feelings.

"Know thyself." and "Know your enemy." are two good quotes related to this most important fight of all our lives.

The key to the 1st Beatitude ("Blessed are the poor in Spirit, for theirs shall be the Kingdom of Heaven.") is to enter the Path of Love by wishing for our Creator to take Its Spirit (our Conscience) back into Itself so that we can cleanse and purify our soul of our selfish vice-eous tendencies.

After making that wish/prayer and then doing much work using "Hallowed be Thy Name" (repeating a two-syllable Name of God, such as Yah-weh, Al-lah, Di-os, De-us, Nn-guy, Brah-man, ...) one's soul's heart is enlightened whereby the vices are replaced by their corresponding virtue. There are 19 such pairs. If one sees the path through to the end, one fully enlightens one's soul's heart and, a short time later, fulfills the 5th Beatitude: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."

Once one performs the wish/prayer as mentioned in my 3rd paragraph, one's discernment improves and we gain strength in fighting the enemy of man, that selfish enemy of man, the deceiver or man, and bane of mankind since time immemorial.

"On Earth as it is in Heaven." That is what we are capable of choosing, but we must embrace God's compassionate service to achieve it. And we must all choose it, in unity of the human race, unity of our Creator, and unity of Love as the foundation of all religion.

A few scattered thoughts here:

There were periods in my early career when I was hyperproductive. Every time I burned out, unable to work for months afterwards. It had a cost in terms of physical and mental health that in retrospect was not worth paying.

It also often didn't come out of good places in me. Self-medicating with excess work is not better than other sorts of self-medication, even if society does like it better.

The reality is that you can only do so much. You aren't other people, and you can't know what's going on with them, especially when they work at presenting a particular socially approved image to you. The best you can do is pay attention to what works for you and optimize for what matters to you.

One thing that has been helpful to me was an Adam Savage comment on obsession in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqO5T8KTnn0

He talked about deciding what he was willing to be obsessed by was very helpful. I've been most productive when I've gotten obsessed by something, and I want to choose things where that's possible. But I need to do it in healthy ways. So the way I think about it at the moment, I'm not trying to directly improve my productivity. I'm trying to find the things where I can get obsessed sustainably.

Hope that helps, and I'm glad to answer questions.

That’s also misusing maths though because Amazon is a global company so really you should divide by 8 billion or at least a couple of billion.

As a Brit I think I’ve derived significantly more than $1000 in value through Amazon’s existence as compared with the status quo beforehand, and that’s exclusively counting the shopping part and not anything else they do. You can ask the question about whether it would have happened anyway in a communist paradise or whether Bezos gets the correct percentage of the reward but I mean, it actually is a very useful thing.

Similarly with Apple and Google and so on. These companies make things that people for the most part choose to use.

- I'm not willing to lower the quality of physicians. Other studies have shown that the lack of upcoming doctors is due to fewer people willing to put up with the insane stress levels for mediocre pay. The stereotype of a doctor heading out at noon for an afternoon of golf are largely over for nearly all specialties. Frankly, there are many jobs that pay better with less stress and less personal responsibility.

This assumes that the things being done now are meaningfully contributing to the quality of physicians vs various proposals.

It's also probably a mistake to measure the quality of the doctor vs the quality of the care that is delivered. More doctors that are less stressed and can spend more time on each patient could easily outperform a smaller group of "better" doctors.
