It was just a reflex and a sports team rivalry is a good analogy. In other forums on the inet there's definitely a team spacex vs team blueorigin feeling. Think about American college football, imagine someone at UT congratulating A&M for scoring a touchdown. That would require finesse in some crowds :)

Are these really catalysts in the traditional definition of the word? Meaning that the catalyst is non-sacrificial? This appears to be suggesting that nitration can be done with atomospheric N2 simply with the right catalyst. But N2 is triple bonded, and the lowest theoretical threshold to react N2 with anything is by breaking at least one of those bonds, which is incredibly energy intensive even under theoretically optimal conditions.

Some of the most promising research in replacing Haber-Bosch is actually plasma-assisted nitration, which is basically just as energy intensive as Haber-Bosch, but with drastically lower capital requirements...something that could be done in your backyard. I struggle to see how an ATP catalyst-only method could even do anything close to breaking an N2 triple bond.
Once people started realizing that it was an aspiration and not a warning, the slogan was on its last legs.
Having just read Lynch's Catching Big Fish, two quotes stood out to me:

"There's safety in thinking in a diner. You can have your coffee or your milk shake, and you can go off into strange dark areas, and always come back to the safety of the diner. "

"The light can make all the difference in a film, even in a character. I love seeing people come out of darkness."

What an interesting man. RIP.
The Straight Story is not at all surreal, but rather simple and heart-warming, and somehow still somewhat weird.
It's funny that he presents this as a new direction. I actually interviewed with replit a couple of years back, and it was precisely their accessibility to non-professionals which interested me: the instant online editor/sandbox environment felt like it could be a good next step from Scratch, doing for software development something like what Arduino did for embedded projects. Their appeal for professionals seemed weaker, since we already have so many other options.

I strongly doubt that AI code generation will be any more of a silver bullet than any of the other "it'll be so easy anyone can do it" tools ever have been, but as an effectively infinite library of example starter projects to build on and improve, it could be quite useful.

It's not worth the effort.

It's killing your ability to scale your sales process. Unique adaptations kill your ability to scale product development, as now you have a bunch of one off deployments. Figure out ahead of time what discounts you want for various tiers of user count.

If you are a startup, avoiding things that don't let you scale are critical.

If your job is writing small snippets of code to solve clearly defined problems, AI can replace you today. If the main challenge to overcome in your job is figuring out how to get React to render a form, AI can replace you today. This is definitely true for some software engineers, even some with senior titles. But it's so far from what my job actually looks like that I can't begin to feel threatened.
I appreciated the change to make Chani fill a role like Sherif Ali in the film Lawrence Of Arabia (the book Seven Pillars of Wisdom, if not the film, is plainly a huge influence on Herbert's Dune, and it's probably impossible for a director to film so much as a scene set in the desert without thinking of Lean's film).

So much of Dune takes place inside people's heads that it's basically unfilmable if you don't make some changes. Plus, even with five hours of film, you're going to be cutting whole scenes from the book whether you want to or not. Lynch's solution was to make it a more straightforward hero's journey—and given the length of his film, and no expectation of sequels, I can't really blame him. Villeneuve had more space and so could tell a darker and more foreboding story, closer to the original, but still needed to externalize some of that internal struggle and foreshadowing, for which he used, especially, Chani.

[EDIT] Oh and as for this:

> I know its nerdy but I absolutely hate when movies of classic books think the story needs to be changed

Every now and then such a deviation ends up being excellent as its own way, while still benefitting from the connection to the original and being better as an "adaptation" than an independent property. Verhoeven's Starship Troopers would be one of the more extreme examples of this kind of outcome. A gentler one might be Kubrick's The Shining.

Israel repeatedly and systematically kicks Palestinians out of their homes and grants those homes to Jewish settlers.

They are able to do this in large part because Palestine is not a recognized state.

The longer they prevent Palestine from getting statehood, the more dunams of land they can steal.
You think that building housing for more people won’t help the people who are looking for housing.

The vacant homes count any vacancy even if they are for sale or between tenants. It is impossible to use those for housing. And putting people in them means that normal buyer and tenants couldn’t live there.

Rent is a market and landlords can only charge what people can pay. More cheaper housing will drive down rents, or more likely slow down rent growth since prices are sticky.

Building more homes would make existing home less valuable but would make the land under the homes more valuable cause could be used for more valuable housing. I also think that remaining houses will be more valuable for people who want house over apartment.

Random anecdote along those lines: I got along great with my manager at my first full-time job, but was surprised when he mentioned one day that he wasn't interested in independent film at all. As an indie film lover myself, I asked him why.

He grew up in a very straight-laced conservative community, and he said that he and his friends tried to watch an independent film once, but they all found the film was far too disturbing. So after that he never tried again.

I asked what film they watched, and he answered Blue Velvet, and suddenly his perspective made a lot more sense to me!

Haaretz: Netanyahu Hoped Hamas Would Reject the Cease-fire Offer. When It Didn't, He Turned to Sabotage
https://archive.ph/8Mcbz

Haaretz: Report: Hamas Accepts Gaza Cease-fire Deal; Israeli Officials Reject Prospect of War Ending

https://archive.ph/3gw1o

It's also important to recognize that before they accepted the deal, Hamas was being presented as the last hold out, the implacable one.

The New York Times reported on April 29th, that Anthony Blinken said "the onus was now on Hamas... Hamas has before it a proposal that is extraordinarily generous on the part of Israel.. And at the moment, the only thing standing between the people of Gaza and a cease-fire is Hamas." (https://archive.ph/QjlSq)

The Washington post reported on April 29th, that Israeli officials seemed to be totally aware of the extra concession in the current negotiations. "The signs of optimism came after Israel presented terms to negotiators last week that 'broke new ground,' according to an Israeli official familiar with the deliberations." (https://archive.ph/o85Pk)

Many Israelis marched to protest Netanyahu's rejection of the ceasefire. BBC reports "Thousands of Israelis around the country have joined rallies calling for the government of Benjamin Netanyahu to agree to the terms of a ceasefire deal that Hamas accepted on Monday." (https://amp.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/07/israel...)

The deal terms of the May 27th deal were part of the sabotage those multiple Haaretz articles discuss. Israel did not want a ceasefire.

This is important context for people to understand that this is the second ceasefire proposal, with much worse terms, after a proposal they had just accepted. Why would they accept, knowing that Israel may withdraw again and worsen the terms? It’s not rational. You can say whatever “should” have been in hindsight, but that doesn’t mean it actually “would” have happened anyways.
It isn't true at all mentoring takes a lot of effort. It really depends on a lot of factors. My 2 bosses at work are excellent at abstract thinking and mental models. They are usually able to provide significant ways of looking at things differently in just a few minutes of talking with them.

I will say they are hard to find. These aren't your average people.

It also really depends on where the mentee is. If there is a massive gap from where they are and where they want to go, that would be a large undertaking.

However, mentors don't have to expend all that effort. Even just a bit of help from time to time would be preferable to zero mentorship, which is where most people are today.

It seems to me that right solution is to upzone Altadena. Small apartment buildings work fine in dense suburbs.

The other part is that if can’t upzone Palisades to upzone other areas instead. It makes sense to build denser close to transit than force it on rich areas in the hills.
> the basis for governance is consent

For governance, perhaps, but not for government.

A trivial example: I do not consent to the authority of my city, county, state, or country. I have withheld that consent my entire life, and yet all those levels of government continue to not only exist, but to grow.
As opposed to mentoring in which you hinder them?
There are various permutations.

There are scanned-in books whose index pages don't precisely match the digital pages. Good PDFs will account for that offset themselves, but manual recalculation may be necessary.

Worse are books half-assedly converted from print to digital. These often include an index (useful for all the reasons others have mentioned elsewhere in this thread), but the "faithful" reproduction of the print text means that the page enumeration in the index bears a nonconstant relationship to the digital text. The offsets are not constant.

Then there are ePubs with the above feature. The sane thing to do would be to link the index entry to occurances. Often you'll find, again, print-edition page mentions which are of little use in locating the passage within your digital edition.

One of the underlying problems is that the print notion of "page" is increasingly archaic. For languages / typographies in which paragraphs are a useful convention, paragraph numbering might be preferable (this should be constant across formats). Direct symlinks are of course useful, but these conceal information revealed in a conventional (print) index such as passages where a topic is discussed at some length, or clusters of appearances, as well as cross-references or associated references which a well-constructed index will reveal.

"They're not only awkward, but a 30 minute call takes up hours of my headspace." This is so apt. I've found that I have the best calls with people who provide specific notes about what they want to discuss—the more specific the note, the less headspace the call requires.

Maybe it could be done via email which is the point of this blog, but I never had the confidence to try that.

The right of return is a human right which some Palestinians have according to international law. Whether it is acceptable or not for Israelis should not be a consideration. Majority rule was also completely unacceptable to white Rhodesians. But the international community correctly assessed this to be because of racist grounds and thus not worthy of consideration.

Palestinians might negotiate away the right of return at some future date, but any deal which denies them that right will be a human rights violation and thus court material to be reversed at an even later future. But regardless, what Israelis think is not of concern, and should not be a concern.
I think the presentation was enough to show they knew they were in trouble.

But it also showed they didn't actually understand the significance of what was happening.

They thought essentially "all this fancy stuff will redefine 'cool', the 'high end'". They imagined a mid-range phone with special email features could slow the iPhone - ie, they imagined phone makers dribbling out features per dollar. But the real lesson of the iPhone was "the 'phone' is going to become a general purpose computing device with multiple connections to the world and hardware features controlled by general purpose software".

picture (the submitter) had the right idea—it's often better to take a subtitle or a representative sentence from the article when an original title isn't suitable for whatever reason, but since in this case it's ambiguous, we can change it.

Recipes like these aren't useless, but yes, they really need to be prefixed with whether they expect to start from a clean work tree and empty staging area.

Commoditization of coding as a skill set happened decades ago. When was the last time you wrote any assembly language? Nobody writes any actual code anymore - machines do it all for us, according to the loosey-goosey high-level instructions we now call "coding". Somehow, we all still have more work to do than ever... but that's just the Jevons paradox in action. If AI makes programmers more efficient, demand for programming services will only increase.
> What does 'commoditization of coding' literally look like?

Presumably something like the 'commoditization of elevator operating' that we once saw. The elevator operator never went away, but operating elevators was simplified to the point that anyone could do it. At which time everyone started doing it, commoditizing the job.

In other words, it looks like programming languages that become increasingly approachable to any old random person on the street who can jump in without any meaningful past experience or special knowledge. You know doubt already what that looks like because we're already using those programming languages (e.g. GPT) in narrow domains to great effect. They have yet to prove themselves as complete general purpose programming languages, but they have made great strives towards that and it is, by many accounts, now only a matter of time.

How much of that location value was because of the views, proximity to LA proper, etc.?

How much of it was due to the types of houses that were in those specific neighborhoods and the type of people that lived in them?

Public employee unions are the third rail of California politics that are choking the state. Central Valley farmers are the third rail of California politics that are choking the state. High-speed rail is the third rail of California politics that is choking the state. Free government services for illegal aliens are the third rail of California politics that are choking the state. We have plenty of rails, take your pick.

Fairness and equity are highly subjective. If you ask any Californian they will say that someone else should pay higher taxes. I support reform of the property tax system in general but let's not forget what triggered Proposition 13 in the first place: it was a taxpayer revolt against uncontrolled and unaccountable increases in local government spending. So any reform will still require an effective means of constraining government budgets. Otherwise we'll just end up back where we started.
> The water in the pools also acts as a coolant. It circulates in a closed system, which is cooled by sea water. The temperature in the pools is around 35°C during normal operation. If the primary fuel cooling system should cease to function, there is a backup system. Otherwise, loss of cooling could lead to a gradual rise in temperature, causing the water to evaporate faster. There is so much water in the pools that it would take about a month before the fuel began to be exposed. This allows ample time to arrange backup cooling if needed.

Does this not indicate that the water temperature could be higher, if desired? I suppose this is a function of the heat decay rate of the total mass of waste submerged.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/district-he...

> With respect to district heating (DH), the recent novelty in 4th generation DH is to decrease the supply temperature even further. In low temperature district heating (LTDH) supply temperature is at 50–60 °C, and for ultra-low temperature district heating (ULTDH), the supply temperature is decreased to as low as 35 °C. Decreasing the supply temperature has several advantages, such as lower distribution heat loss, cost-efficient integration of renewable energy technologies and utilization of waste heat. On the contrary, such low temperatures cause challenges with hygienic preparation of DHW and special solutions has to be applied. In case of LTDH and ULTDH, the energy efficiency improvement is not so much related to production of DHW but rather to the entire DH system operation, and DHW is more an obstacle on the way to decrease operation temperature of DH. As stated in Ref. [62], if a 30 °C fluid supply temperature is sufficient for heating up the indoor space of a low-energy house, it is not enough for the higher temperature purposes such as DHW production at 60 °C. This limitation can be overcome by using a booster for DHW production, for example localized heat pump or electrical heater. Moreover, unlike space heating, DHW requires constant supply temperature throughout the year and does not allow for periodic temperature decrease, mainly due to comfort and risk of Legionella growth.

First fuel cycle makes the power, second fuel cycle ("waste" storage) used to keep us warm.
