Al wire is used a lot more than most people think. Here's the big differences between Al and Cu wire.

Cu is more conductive than Al so an Al wire has to have a cross section area about 1.56 times that of a Cu with the same current capacity.

But Cu is also denser than Al so the Al wire is only about 0.47 times the weight of the Cu wire.

Al is is much cheaper than Cu so the Al wire is only about 13% the cost of the Cu wire.
Thanks! Ok, seems direct style is what I would want, after having asked an LLM: it says it's then simpler to debug async call stacks, with Java 21+ virtual threads.

Nice to know that there are good alternatives, if time it is some day to migrate away from Play.
The "VSCode" before "SSH Agent" does the disambiguation fairly well.
it was a pretty defensible term at the time the paper came out, in the context of how LLMs were being trained and used.

in this paper, it's clear that the authors don't think modern LLM-based systems are just stochastic parrots.
We’ll see in a year or two how this really works. My view is that there was a coup against the Constitution about 90 years ago and as a result we have decades of judicial Calvinball that need to be sorted through. Just to start with, can you find the part of the Constitution that authorizes NIH and NSF to exist in the first place?

In terms of following the strictures of the Constitution, nothing the administration has done has made things any worse in that regard and in fact, has the potential to make things much better. The bureaucracy has grown into an extraconstitutional (which is to say, unconstitutional) fourth branch of government with separated powers of its own. Destroying that independence and returning executive power to the elected executive is a massive step in the right direction.
Finally. There are many countries with laws in place for things like these, it's just that the enforcement is so lax given the tolerance.
Economic decline fuels resentment towards immigrants and minority communities. Government becomes increasingly repressive to keep tensions from boiling over into riots and perhaps worse.
This is why countries are obsessed with growth - many things can be papered over with sufficient growth.
That's a good question, and we don't have any plans to do so at this time.
You missed the 3rd option which is that (most) of the disabilities are real but the accommodations we have massively overcorrect and opens up new strategies that weren't possible when you're given intentionally less time
than you need. So you get students who come from an environment outside the "normal" gifted path of private college prep schools who come out of nowhere and score amazingly well. That combo sounds like catnip to an admissions office.

I scored really well on my tests, a fact I credit mostly to my adhd (I did not have accommodations, brain goes burr under time crunch), so I have every incentive defend the current system but looking back I genuinely don't understand what we're actually testing for. Perform! Under pressure! In a completely different environment than you're used to, while proctors watch you like a hawk. Your whole future rides on this! is not how I would describe a wholistic assessment.
The security risk comes from all those unvetted plugins, that have unrestricted access to the editor.
Current state planning obligated parking bay, lane width, cycle safety lanes, are all built to expectations of dimensions in common use. We do not expect panel vans for delivery, inter-modal container width cars to routinely park in domestic setting and when they do, its hugely disruptive and dangerous on many levels. We even stipulate times such as 4am to 6am for delivery in the city, precisely to try and minimise this risk.

But we also permit people to buy oversize, overwidth semi industrial vehicles and drive them in domestic contexts, irrespective of their dimensional impact on the street and on other users of the streetscape, and on infrastructure decisions like parking bay size, minimum heights for multi storey carparks, cycle lanes with paint only barriers to entry.

To be blunt: it's fucking nuts. It's minimal regulation of a commons driven (sorry) to a ludicrous outcome. It's mad.

Add high intensity LED lights. I mean why not. Glare? Boomer problem.

I've been in big vehicles driven by naive drivers. It's truly scary. People gave very poor understanding of their lateral width, lane occupancy, other vehicles. Vision is massively restricted. And we don't seem able to say "wait.. how about if we don't do this"
To the people in the BC era this is already techno-utopian, we just take it for granted
This is going to sound naive but, I don't understand what the security issue is. If you can ssh into a machine and port forward a socket, you already have permission to do all the other things. VSCode's protocol seems to be exposing it in way that's more convenient for them.

How is this a security problem? Is it because someone on the same network as the remote machine but without SSH access can connect the port that is forwarded over SSH?

As a user, I quite like how well VSCode's SSH system works.

I appreciate the detailed response. TBH I've really only been using LLMs for mundane corporate tasks so I don't have a ton of experience on the "less-definitive" creative side of genAI.

Using the writing guidelines seems like a good way to get into the 'comedic' prediction space of LLMs that more basic prompts like 'tell me a joke' might not open up. Neat.
All five merchants who went to Opal City were never seen again, but don't let that stop you from going to Opal City because anecdotes don’t actually provide meaningful information.
Given how absolutely trivial it is to do a randomized intervention study here (you can't do double-blind, but dose-response is easy enough) there's not a lot of reason to care about n=1 results except plausible reports of rare seriously negative outcomes.

If it works, it would be within the resources of an ambitious high school class to prove it. If it doesn’t, "more research will be needed"
Nice concept! It's actually a very useful tool for graphics programming. This was a feature I first saw in the PS2 Sony DTL-T15000 Development Tool with Performance Analyzer - which was the uprated model of the normal DTL-T10K - One of the coolest features was the ability to freeze frame and fly around the world to see everything that was being submitted to the GPU and at the exact Level Of Detail (LOD) which was very useful when optimizing. What was extra cool was that it could also work on a retail PS2 game so you could load up any PS2 game and investigate how they were rendering their frames!

I loved it so much I built it into every engine I worked on from then on - I added it to the PSP game Bloodlines (the only other Assasin's Creed game to feature Altair) and it literally saved us many milliseconds because we had a unknown goof in our frustum culler which was allowing many large buildings BEHIND the camera to get through to the very expensive CPU clipping routines. Certainly there are other ways to accomplish this but a visiual tool is so excellent.

On Unreal Engine 4 - I didn't have to make this myself since a third party made the exact thing and shared it and I could use it since UE is source available and you can share and incorporate cool features from other studios.

So, yeah I agree wholeheartedly - and I guess the thing is - I or you or someone else could make this for UE5 since it's source available and you can build the entire engine with this awesome tool idea.
Eh. I can rather trivially imagine a future where AGI development gets interrupted by a series of domestic terrorist attacks in response to some critical mass of economic disruption being hit. Folks get cranky when they're having difficulty feeding their kids, and given how comprehensively armed the US populace is that's bound to get spicy.
If you look at the global trade balance, most economies are essentially relying on persistently heavy trade surpluses for growth. Their domestic consumption is too weak, so instead they focus on exporting to foreign markets. And right now, the only country that is both large enough and willing to do is the USA.

That's why it's actually alot worse if it's everyone doing it, because since the majority of them are exporters, someone or many will have to take on a massive trade deficit to balance the exports. Too many sellers, not enough buyers. No one is willing to do that, and so to that extent it's important to realise that the exceptionalism of Trumpian protectionism is something that these countries perform on a day to day basis!

Nor is this system paticularly stable, with the US running a persistent current account deficit and ballooning debt as a result of it, yet the glut of foreign capital inflows and the resulting overfinancialization of the economy means that the dollar remains strong as opposed to weak and is unable to naturally rebalance.

America has been prodding these countries to reform and transition to consumption based economies like them for decades, but they haven't been doing so, so unfortunately the gravy train is over and the beggar thy neighbor policies will commence.
The only way employees benefit from a startup is on a couple of conditions:

1. The startup makes it. (Acquisition by Big Co or IPO.)

2. They are sufficiently early employees to benefit from that.

Most startups don't make it. People trying to get wealthy from being employed by startups hop from one failing one to another, hoping this time the luck will turn around.
Will the institutional endowments agree to meet the gap from investment money? Or, is this moving to student-pays by increased tuition costs?

I haven't been in the grants game for decades. It truly amazed me what capitation fee a US institution expected to apply to a joint application (I was in industry at the time) and since it was US funding it basically consumed 2/3 of the grant. We didn't go ahead.

The rationale which I got was "it's our brand which got you the money, it's our brand on the line" -the first part wasn't true but arguably the second part was.
Your link is broken

To be fair, we don't know the future. Solving scientific problems have eluded researchers and their billions of dollars for centuries. Genuine AGI will be on par with solving P=NP or curing cancer. Its a profound problem that gets to the very root of what we are.

100 years from now, AGI could be viewed as such an improbable proposition as flying cars, teleportation, ghosts, or faster than light travel.

I'm not sure what features VSCode offers exactly, but I find sshfs works quite well for remote editing of a bunch of stuff. I think it should basically be the same as VSCode?
if cold plunges either killed people or revived them from the dead, this would be a great analogy.
Yeah, I'm all in for a more secure option as long as it allows me to do everything that VSCode's SSH agent does. But if the devex goes down the drain because of "security" then I'm good for now.
It's definitely a ballpark estimate, but "boring email threads" are 99% of LKML.

There's an average of 1000 messages per day, we get news of a drama-fueled thread like, three times on a bad year?

My ballpark estimate is probably low.
Pretty amusing that Obama essentially created a SPAC for Trump and Musk to use to dismantle the civil service.

Often, when you look at those animal facilities run by universities through indirect costs, they are often not efficient. And NIH provides granting mechanisms that last for several years and allow for capital building. Ideally (although I wouldn't expect this to happen with the current admin) NIH could give more money to investigators. But I would argue that in many cases, things like animal facilities should be centralized and housed in only a few locations.

It's a complicated situation and I can't speak for every scientist, but I certainly saw tons of waste (closet clusters that were "free" for the investigator because the university paid for it... through overhead... adminned by grad students since they were "paid for" by training grants.) Similar complaints about wet labs. After working in that environment and moving to industry, I've seen what infrastructure built around efficiency can achieve.
Your leaving out info on when this occurs, what your doing when tinge happens.

But for me I changed the way I mounted plates on a cylinder, arms over head ,instead of pulling with my fingers, I pushed with my knuckles and thumb. Thereby keeping my wrist straight. No wrist pain/tingle since.
I have been for like a month now noodling on a long-form post about a piece of software we've been noodling with for 3-4 years now. Kurt is freaking out, because we haven't written anything on the blog since, like August. Finally I'm like, look, I will write the simplest thing I can come up with. We'll do the opposite of what we've been doing. We'll do anti- effortposts. I bet I can do one in 30 minutes.

I promise, I thought about this less than you have. It's a thing we were tinkering with, and I wrote about it. That's all.
Agreed, because VSCode does not provide an SSH Agent but does communicate with your local one (their own version of ForwardAgent, complete with the security implications that carries). And the way it does that breaks a popular macOS SSH agent: https://github.com/maxgoedjen/secretive/issues/543

> […] working the disadvantaged 7 days a week with no breaks.

In countries with a high development index, the employment law usually prohibits 7 day long working weeks, and there is a provision of at least one day off (granted, since employment laws vary across jurisdictions, there is no universal rule).

The situation is different for small businesses and self-employed as they are the masters of their own fate (so to speak), e.g. if a cafe owner decides to run the cafe 7 days a week and work there in person themselves, that is their choice.
This seems like a perfectly reasonable response given Hector's prior comments. Pushing someones buttons until they explode and then pointing out they exploded isn't the indictment people think it is.

One fewer tool to think about. It remembers the connections and instantly gives you access to a full-fledged editor on a remote server. It just works, and I don’t think about it twice, which is a huge win in my book. I’m good with the trade-offs.
Same in Germany. Graffiti everywhere; walls, buildings, fences, signs, historic monuments. It's awful and I don't know why they can't manage to do anything about it, but it also seems like no one cares about it as a problem to begin with. To me, such an individual invasion of the public space seems like a mockery of the common trust and the notion that the Europeans (and the Germans especially) have some sort of communal responsibility.
I have no idea why you're being downvoted; https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371%2F... is one of many good studies that show that the 'French Paradox' is little more than socioeconomic effect. The association with lower rates of cardiovascular disease among moderate drinkers shows an effect modification of 1.32 when comparing low vs mid socioeconomic position (SEP), 1.36 for mid vs high, and then unsurprisingly 1.63 for low vs high. This strongly suggests that socioeconomic position has a direct and confounding effect on the outcome measure (cardiovascular disease mortality). The alternative is that socioeconomic position modifies the effect of the treatment (moderate alcohol consumption) itself. This would be a sensible interpretation of an effect modification of a drug administered in the presence/absence of, say, grapefruit juice or DMSO, but severe mental gymnastics would be required to argue for the existence of a mechanism through which socioeconomic class could directly mediate the biochemical effects of alcohol on the body's cardiovascular system.
Here's another data point: I have taken literally thousands of taxis on 5 continents and none of this has ever happened to me
The alternative is suggested by tramp, which from what I know treats the remote as a network filesystem instead of an execution host. I don't believe that tramp deploys any binaries: it reads and writes bytes over pipes and all meaningful execution happens locally. Notably, it does not achieve persistence, because there's a difference between "VSCode plugins have access while you're SSH'd in" and "VSCode plugins have access forever".

Newtownian and Lagrangian mechanics are equivalent only in their predictions, not in their complexity - one requires three assumptions, the other just one. Now you say the fact that they have the same predictions makes them equivalent, and I agree. But it's clearly not compatible with what the other poster said about looking for the simplest possible way to explain a phenomenon. If you believe that that's how science should work, you'd need to discard theories as soon as simpler ones that make the same predictions are found (as in the case of Newtownian mechanics). It's a valid philosophical standpoint imho, but it's in opposition to how scientists generally approach Occam's razor, as evidenced eg by common physics curricula. That's what I was pointing out. Having to exclude Newtownian mechanics from what can be considered science is just one prominent consequence of the other poster's philosophical stance, one that could warrant reconsidering whether that's how you want to define it.

To my knowledge, out-of-tree drivers are quite inconvenient to maintain compared to in-tree drivers, due to the kernel's unstable API (a driver that works on a given version of the kernel likely only works on that single version unless it has lots of ifdefs to handle all the other versions).
Diet interventions aren't terribly hard to test, they just consistently tend to result in "as bad or worse than no intervention" (short of fixing the sort of malnutrition you rarely see in the contemporary developed world)

Maybe the number of flags a given post has could be exposed? Or other, non PII information about flags, like number of flags from old accounts or accounts with high karma, or showing that a post has the flag shield enabled? Just spitballing here but theres a lack of transparency into the process that throws some people into conspiracy theory land so just imo but it kinda seems like there's got to be some changes that could be done to assuage the fears of the more rational readers, so that we don't get the same boring accusations of some shadowy cabal burying inconvenient stories on every contentious subject. Maybe just linking to the active thread for an MOT for the flagged&dead posts so people can see the topic is being allowed, just elsewhere? Maybe allowing users to mark a thread a dupe instead of just flagging?

AGI/ASI as we think of it in science fiction is not guaranteed. I think its definition will erode due to marketing until it's a label on a product, but less limited than what we think it could be today. It'll probably be a capable system but not able to do science on its own.

I don't think we'll throw nukes. AI will have taken care of work that requires text and 95% of us are left doing manual labor because a robotic workforce still isn't feasible. US/Canada will start moving its cities north as the planet warms, and we have to start new farms up there.
>> Can the CA govt just impose prohibitive fire prevention liabilities on utility companies, bankrupt them, and scoop up the assets for free

I don't think so. Not currently.

"nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation"

That's federal law. Supposedly, that applies to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment. All of the sudden, once the Fourteenth Amendment is passed, the Constitution applies to state governments, not just the federal government.

So if that's the case, no. You can't just "scoop up the assets for free" because you can't take private property for public use without compensation. I'm kinda a little bit suspicious that it makes sense to interpret the Fourteenth Amendment that way. Sounds like a power grab. If you want to try and turn that around, I know just the guys to do it.
