There's a few alternative ways to go about it. If you have heating towers from gleba, you can burn some excess solid fuel (and melted ice) from scrap to make steam. Might be short on ice but could drop some from orbit (if your asteroid processing tech is good enough?). Or cart in nuclear stuff from nauvis. If you've started on higher quality stuff you could probably recycle extra batteries and make higher quality accumulators (a little more space efficient...but if you're still power constrained you probably wouldn't be removing the old low quality ones...).
We’re talking, like, $10 million in drones to replace one pilot for 18 minutes.

I don’t see any reason to believe there’s a pilot shortage, and I don’t understand what’s wrong with the current targeting, or how that could be improved. There’s a whole strategy to fighting fires of this scale. I don’t think the strategies are obvious to people on the ground.

Companies will pay as much as the market requires them to, and they will even illegally collude to manipulate that market (eg Steve Jobs) and strive to atomize workers against coordinating for better pay and conditions (while themselves coordinating via C-level social groups, investors and wage & benefits consultancies for market research data and guidance)
Ha, it's completely forgivable. I was speaking in jest and very much agree with the content of your post. Appreciation for the little things is a great catalyst for turbocharging your worldview (though I choose things other than tying my shoes).
> if something happens comprehensively across fields, it's likely to be a good idea.

I don't have high confidence that this is likely. I've seen a lot of bad habits happen simply because "that's how X does it." Which often misses a lot of context. Those things matter, and often matter a lot. Not to mention that information is always passed via a game of telephone [0].

This is related to "trust, but verify". If a big player is doing something it is worth looking at to see if it's a good idea for you. Same with when something is popular. But you have to be careful too. It's easy to miss context or small details that make a big difference. As an example, Google has a surplus of high quality candidates. Any arbitrary filter is helpful to them as they just need to down select. So a highly noisy process (i.e. random with a small bias) will yield good results for them. You'll even MEASURE positive results! This isn't necessarily (might be, might not be) true for anyone who isn't big tech or highly bureaucratic. (Same is true for college admissions)

It's important to remember that big players don't maintain their status simply because no other can out innovate. Rather momentum is a bitch. It can make up for a lack of innovation and still out compete.

Just so I know, what’s the proper utilization of PTO?
To be fair, this is a company in the U.S and the people are working in the U.S so it is in fact - U.S working conditions, if you imported the company to the EU it would not be EU working conditions because those working. conditions would be illegal.
Employees are penalized for PTO if they cannot work from home (e.g. wifi issues, evac orders)

If they can still work from home, they can use the "natural disaster" exception.

My own view is not that self-experimentation is an appropriate, let alone likely efficacious, substitute for reconciliation to the idea of one's death. I certainly don't endorse interference in others' treatment, however well-intentioned. If you want to say: "you shouldn't treat your terminal illness like a science fair project unless you possess extreme sang froid and are precommitted to the acceptance of your death", I'd find that totally reasonable.

But my own view is rather that institutional epistemology is somewhat overrated, and self-experimentation somewhat underrated, relative to the conventional wisdom. (Though some people go too far in this direction.) This leads to general overconfidence in epistemic efficient market hypothesis arguments ("if a protocol were worthwhile, someone would have found it already") and underconfidence in the value of crowd-sourcing trying a bunch of stuff and writing it down. This view was principally informed by developing cancer drugs for a living and coming to appreciate that it's really hard, your knowledge of what's going on during a clinical trial is highly abstracted, and you can't be everywhere at once. It was secondarily informed by watching people do bro science on certain important questions and making interesting progress in large part because they could move much faster than academic or corporate research.

If we recast the point of contention as: "what is the largest effect size that could be found by an institution outside of academia or industry?", my position is that it's plausibly non-zero.

I'm sorry for your friends and I hope they found peace.
Neat. This is a popular visualization. It's been the ParticlesJS demo for quite some time now:

There are many like it, but this one is yours and its pretty cool.
The World Economic Forum released its bi-annual survey on what employers worldwide expect their businesses to look like in the future and much of the attention is on generative AI. And while a majority (77%) expect to help train their existing staff to work with AI, 41% say they expect to reduce the number of staff they employ as AI automates more tasks on the job.

The survey includes 1,000 employers worldwide, which covers more than 14 million workers in 22 different industry clusters, according to the new report. One of the big problems that emerges from the survey is that employers believe many of their workers don’t have the skills needed to do their jobs as technology evolves.

While I share your skepticism about the viability or specificity of predictions, large think tanks do this sort of research all the time and provide at least some indication of where corporate weathervanes are pointing and trends in business management, be they fundamental or faddish.

This information was all laid out in the first 2 paragraphs. You could have critiqued their track record or methods rather than asserting such questions are meaningless. Why do you think it's so outlandish to survey ~1000 corporations, especially if that's your raison d'etre and you do it twice a year, every year?

41% of the business today won't exist by 2028.

You think 40% of businesses are going to disappear in the next 3 years? That seems unlikely. I assume you're being sarcastic.

Your tone policing in this thread is offensive.

Apparently you know many people that have died from cancer young, and this qualifies you to know how a terminally ill person should process that emotion.

You have zero qualification. How dare you imply that you know best for someone going through this.

Hopefully no one reading this is ever in that situation. But I'll defer to the individual who's facing the death count down to process it in their own way.
Kagi is a tough pill to swallow. Their search is hands down the best around, there's no other way around it.

That being said, $10/mo is also expensive.

The workaround I found is using Kagi Ultimate. I get access to Claude (and I'm still able to attach files + access a dozen other LLMs) for $25/mo, so I was able to cancel Claude and keep Kagi and get the best of both worlds from either product.

Side note: incredible that a small team like Kagi's can somehow use LLMs more effectively in search than a company that has years of search experience (i.e. Google)
>Your goal is to prove that there is full alignment between ethics and law in our current system. If there isn't, then we cannot use one's adherence to the law as an indicator of their ethical standing.

This is the real straw man. Have you ever heard of a generalization? Of course we can and do use adherence to the laws of the land as an indicator of general moral character. They rarely deviate far from the moral demands of society, and are in fact the only rules that we all have in common with our compatriots.

>That's an idealistic take. The reality is that the justice system is frequently used to make examples out of political dissidents.

That has nothing to do with vigilantism, and in our country dissidents are almost never murdered like this.

>Are you going to sit here and try to tell me that burning a 17 year old at the stake for not being "womanlike" is ethical?

I think notions of what is ethical change over time, and so do the laws. Your example is way off topic and misses the point. This guy was a boring bureaucrat who was probably doing his best to run an upstanding business that inherently pisses people off sometimes. You can't be a terribly evil person in modern times without breaking some laws. There is no way to see this random act of violence as "eye for an eye" no matter how much you hate insurance companies. There is no equivalence between walking up to someone unprovoked and shooting them dead versus making necessary financial decisions that might give people vaguely worse health care. Even if you could calculate that a specific change in policy that this CEO did result in some deaths, the nature of the business makes such things inevitable (short of gross negligence or evident malice for the customers). It certainly isn't as contemptible as armed robbery, murder, felony theft, or burning someone alive for bad fashion.
The public area is SF to Daly City. The employee-only area runs down the rest of the peninsula. Both of them together are the operational area.

Waymo's app only shows the areas accessible to you. Different users can have different accessible areas, though in the Bay area it's currently just the two divisions I'm aware of.
Seems like Toyota is still mired in sunk cost fallacy and isn't even considering switching to BEVs. Not very much rethinking actually going on in the article after the headline.

> Despite the setbacks, Toyota insiders said they had not given up on hydrogen for passenger cars, with Toyoda discussing a partnership last October with his counterpart at traditional rival Hyundai to advance fuel cell vehicles.
That's not a "crutch", that's "I'm going to imply your lying while I pretend to be reasonable".
This is written by the same people who claim that 80% or whatever companies will use AI by 2030 etc. I hate to break it to you folks, but this shit is entirely made up, like much of the rest of the clickbait you read online. There's a reason trust in media is at record lows and keeps sliding further.

But let's be generous and say this was not made up and it's really something WEF did a survey for. What were those ESG drones supposed to tell WEF? That they're not "progressive"? That they're going to keep their employees or (the horror!) hire more of them? That'd revoke the membership in the cool kids club right away.
True, and this even happens in a brain the size of a flea's.

Hearing Nuno play the opening to "Women In Love" as a Van Halen tribute was icing on the cake and probably the closest we'll ever come to hearing Eddie do it now that he's gone.

It isn't, the core is always about the UI that you've dismissed. It's the reason I use their browser on iOS and customize a few annoying gestures away despite the more frequent app crashes vs Safari or other browsers and despite the fact that extension support is poor

Ah, that explains it, this was never true for me, too many UI issues with no way to customize/avoid them
Well that explains the faint noise I've been hearing at night lately just after putting my AirPods away.

Speaking of the sounds you're meant to hear, I'm familiar with the low battery ones (both the AirPods themselves and the case if you put the AirPods in it when the case is low on charge) as well as the chime the case makes when it's put on charge. But every so often the case plays one when I open the case. Any ideas what that one's meant to be?
I have used kagi for quite a while now, and i use it pretty much exclusively. I was unhappy with google ignoring many terms in my search queries and giving me results that I generally considered to be 'intro' pages and generic content, even when my searches were very specific. I have found kagi much better. I dont use any of the advanced stuff like summarisation or ai stuff, i just want search results that have my keywords in them.

If you're married to running your own Web server, you could use schedules to run your Lambda every 15 mins....but you might as well use Fargate at that point (easier and probably cheaper).

If you're not married to running your own Web server, you can use API gateway with your Lambda functions, which is the traditional approach. Your frontend and it's assets can be served from an S3 bucket with Lambdas powering your backend. Cold start times will be a concern with this approach, but there are "warm-up" strategies you can employ to prevent that.

Seems about a decade late. Did anyone other than toyota execs really believe hydrogen everstood a chance? Maybe if the push had started in 1984 they would have been able to effectively insert themselves into the market and properly compete with EVs before battery tech has grown to be able to be viable.

I'm genuinely baffled at the money and time that was poured into this when it seemed dead on arrival to almost everyone (as far as I know). Am I missing something? Is this some quirk of Japanese techno-optimism and simply a failed moonshot?

I did a polyphasic sleep cycle in college (2010's) for 6 months out of necessity and it worked really well.

The way I got it to work was by meticulously tracking my REM sleep. I would have sliding 3-4 hour windows to hit REM sleep and if I didn't, it just felt like a sluggish day, not any worse than being woken up by a fire alarm at 4am or a long thursday night.
Your limit is how long it takes them to find somewhere safe for their family. I evacuated and got back online later that day. Several leaders reached out to me to ask if I needed anything or if I wanted to take time off. In response, I feel more allegiance, and want to work harder. I love my job even more than I did 3 days ago.

Treat others how you would like to be treated. Respect breeds respect.
> It distorts where VC money goes, always to something that promises impossibly large payoffs–it seems it is better to have an untested idea that would have an enormous payoff than a tested idea which can get to a sustainable business

I have a 65" 4k LG Panel that has literally never been connected to the internet and never will be. It does not have nags nor does it automatically attempt to connect itself to the internet.

It works fine connected to an AppleTV 4k and and appleTV is the only smart TV software I'll use. It's smooth as butter, has no ads, and integrates with the rest of my devices with minimal setup.
No, but it doesn't look very good to me at all, tbh.

Blogspam and clickbaity content is not niche. What's your point?
The "being asked to use their personal/sick days" is the reporter's interpretation of having to go to the "My RTO" portal to set their status.
The ideology that the employer-employee relationship is fundamentally one where labor is exchanged for money? The most I expect is, "Don't worry about things at work. Take care of yourself and your family. You are welcome to use any accumulated leave you have available, and your job will be here for you when you get back on your feet."

My perspective may be colored a bit by working in an environment with strict labor cost accounting where labor is accounted for down to the tenth hour (even for salaried-exempt employees), and there isn't some magical slush fund that can be used to pay for what would otherwise be unpaid leave. We do have "disaster leave" for salaried employees, but it's on a "work extra hours over the next X weeks to make up for it" basis, where X is a reasonable number given the nature of the disaster. For run-of-the-mill "snow days," it's typically 4 weeks. Taking PTO is also an option, including running up to a 40-hour negative balance. Thankfully, I don't have to deal with any of these RTO shenanigans.
To be fair, in my case it wasn't in the US.

> It had integrated wait lists, so you could just sign up and hope someone else drops if needed

This just moves the scripting point to "signing up for the waiting list". I guess in that case it does mean that running it 24/7 wouldn't help.

> and occasionally you could just have the professor add another slot (the college didn't mind the free extra money).

You paid per course? In most of the world, you pay per semester and there are no per-course fees. So professors aren't particularly incentivized to take more students.

In our case, the number of professors and size of rooms was simply insufficient for the number of students. Especially if you wanted a good professor - where I was at the variability in quality of teaching was pretty high. Or for some people, if they wanted to schedule things so that all their courses were packed into 4 days of the week, or they didn't want to wake up early, or whatever reason for making a particular course be in high demand. This led to the necessity of such scripts.
AFAIK Takeout + Photos returns the original image file exactly as it originally existed, EXIF intact. Any additional metadata you have added manually is placed in a JSON file with the same name, adjacent to the image file.

It sounds like you want Photos to somehow merge that added metadata back into the image files, altering them. I'm quite confident that there would be an equal number of people complaining about changing their originals, if photos did that.

Your argument only applies to unreinforced masonry, which is no longer allowed by code in seismically-prone areas. For fire resistance you can use reinforced concrete, steel or aluminum framing, or wood framing with non-combustible walls. Or even go exotic with various prefab options and 3D printing.

As for the higher cost, this has become mostly an urban myth. In regions with low construction costs such as the South or the Midwest ($130-180/sqft,) the cost difference is minimal. In areas with high construction costs such as CA ($200-700/sqft,) the difference is either immaterial or negative (thanks to the insurance savings.)
