Writer does differ from Word in quite an unintuitive way.

Create a document with two one-line paragraphs.

In Word, put the cursor at the start of the first paragraph. Press SHIFT+DOWN. This selects the first paragraph. Apply a paragraph style, Heading 1, say. Paragraph one has the new style, paragraph two does not.

In Writer, do the same thing. The style is applied to both paragraphs!

I use Writer all the time but this funkiness in paragraph selection continues to bug me. You have to select paragraphs excluding the final paragraph mark, which requires more keystrokes than Word's selection behaviour.
What makes you think consolidating the same services under fewer names makes it better? Isn't the system simpler with clearly marked out territories?

It's not obvious to me that some other agency will pick up the same responsibilities. If it happens without a budget change elsewhere then obviously DOGE would be right in cutting this particular agency.
TSMC should sell to Huawei and China if US gets too uppity.
Nice, in this case the solution is really easy, just a switch that the grid operator can turn off to cut the solar panels off the grid when there is not enough demand.
i forgot ;)
We use batteries in South Australia to stabilize our grid already.
Streamlining government processes to be more efficient: Worthy goal, and _maybe_ Elon in a former life would have been the right person to spearhead this.

But that's not what's happening now. They're not streamlining, they -- and by that I mean Elon's engineers -- are "uncovering fraud", "rooting out corruption", and "getting rid of DEI" -- none of which have anything to do with efficiency and red tape. Oh, and coincidentally, the fraud and corruption all happens to be centered at agencies which Trump and Elon have a beef with (maybe because DEI==corruption?)

Yes, we need more technologists in government. Also, technologists should take care of _technology_, not _purges_.
You can have a poorly paid bad time doing lots of things. A PhD isn’t the worst option by a long shot haha.
I assume you mean 2kW not 2kWh.
And you can; look up "Non-export addition". These are solar panels that are set to zero-export; they will either charge a battery or the current house loads, but never backfeed into the grid.
Your product launch video deserves more than an "um" filled single take.

I thought OP was saying there was actual damage to the solar cell if voltage is being generated but current isn't flowing causing lower efficiency.

This is like saying, "I bought a car and don't drive it." -- which people do.
Thank you for this recommendation. I have heard the name before, but it slipped my mind to really dig in. I am definitely interested here though. Will start to play around and reach out if it looks promising. Do you all sign BAAs?

from just reading the post sounds like a shit situation for him and there is blame on the linux kernel maintainers for not handling it well. Especially if the claim about them going behind his back and shit talking him is true.

What i will say, Is that i get the impression that the he is quite sensitive and takes things too personally which is a death wish online. People are savage online and if you don't have thick skin then they will destroy you. Not justifying it but it is what it is

Either way hope all goes well for him. Sad to see this happen i bought a m2 mac because of linux support :(
Thermal cycling.
While this is spot on about purpose and identity, I think for most people it's really about how others see them - our self-worth is tied to social validation. Notice how we're miserable when unemployed but happy on vacation or retirement. Some people do fall apart without external pressure, but that's often because they stopped listening to their inner desires long ago. It'll take a generation or two to adjust to work being optional, but humans are incredibly adaptable. We'll figure it out.
US stopped Taiwan's nuclear effort for fear of restarting the civil war, thus dragging US into a potential nuclear WW3 scenario.

If US lets Taiwan (or even Korea/Japan) into the nuclear club, then what is stopping nuclear proliferation to Iran? Venezuela? Cuba? There are negative externalities to US allowing it's allies to have nukes.

Taiwan doesn't want nukes according to the past Presidents.
That example is literally Beato demonstrating that it's perfectly attainable through deliberate training. Adulthood is a separate discussion.

It's because US stopped Taiwan from getting nukes. US literally went into the nuclear labs and ripped up everything.
> Instead the entire paradigm of centralized generation may need to be called into question and we should instead be focusing on a hybrid centralized baseline + local generation and storage

I don't think that moving the generation around is really an "instead", because the problem at hand is that distribution is expensive and someone has to pay for it if you want a grid. And most of that cost is the local stuff.

So how do you get everyone connected that wants to be, without it costing them a ton of money? You might have to make the grid cost into a mandatory tax.

Whether the electric company is private or state-owned is mostly a separate issue.
The only difference between a PhD and a hobby is money, or the presumption of it indirectly (certain jobs, etc)

I'm not affiliated with the Tor Project organization, but I have some questions.

From Tor docs [0]:

> Add-ons, extensions, and plugins are components that can be added to web browsers to give them new features. Tor Browser comes with one add-on installed: NoScript. You should not install any additional add-ons on Tor Browser because that can compromise some of its privacy features.

How does Kagi square this with Privacy Pass, which requires a browser extension rejected by Tor [1]? Did Kagi analyze whether it is possible to bucket users of Tor into two distinct groups depending on whether the extension is installed? Do I need to trust another organization other than the Tor project to keep the signing keys for the extension safe? Was there any outreach to the Tor community at all prior to releasing this feature?

It's great that they're Torifying the service, but depending on a 3rd party extension is not ideal.

I'd also add that AI code generation in non-formally-verifiable languages, at places with concurrency requirements like Nvidia, might end up in the short-term creating more hard-to-spot concurrency bugs than before, as developers become incentivized to tab-complete code without fully thinking through the implications as they type.

But AI code generation for formally verifiable programs? And to assist in writing custom domain-specific verifiers? Now that's the sweet spot. The programming languages of the future, and the metaprogramming libraries on top of them, will look really, really cool.
TBH, this sounds like somewhat of a nothing-burger published by an organization with a motivation to overstate the use of Ada / Spark.

Specifically, the article does not claim that any significant bit of code at NVIDIA uses SPARK or Ada.

What people are, quite rightly, pointing out about getting a PhD is the "will live in poverty for a decade+ with better odds of winning the lottery than getting a tenured position to do research".

Even if you want to do research, you have to eat, too.

I get the feeling OP is gonna get flagged or disappear quickly, or maybe even this post will, but yeah, it's common. You can make a lot more if you're deep into your career or go solo/bootstrap/consultant/eat-what-you-kill. That's America in a nutshell after all.

The thing is, $100k in 2001 has the spending power of close to $180k in 2025 -- $100k today is like a $55k salary then.

Hell, it's lost almost a fifth of its value since 2019, and this is if you base it on what the economists say inflation was (many others claim real, actual inflation is ~8% YOY, which would erode that value even more)

Location matters obviously; I know people in Los Angeles carrying $9k, $10k, $11k a month mortgages for nice but modest homes. I have friends paying $7k-$8k a month TO RENT out there! And they're considered middle class lol -- think about that, you'd be on the hook for $96,000 a year just to rent some regular-ass apartment! I can't imagine you could make less than $180k a year ONLY to clear rent, taxes, and afford food and transport.

I'm in the Midwest, a mortgage can cost you from $2k to $5k a month here, local-region dependent. Rent seems to start at $2k a month these days. You can definitely get by with less, but it's still a whole mathematical puzzle to figure out.

I understand European and Eastern Bloc wages are quite a bit lower than ours, and I don't really grasp basic costs over there for how it all works out -- but IMO, in the US, we're all just out here in the proverbial wilderness taking whatever we can get. There's no ceiling to earnings if you're motivated and lucky, but there's no floor either. You have to get up, get out, get what you can get, assume what you got is the last you'll ever get, rinse and repeat, and hope to your deity that things don't dry up.

It sounds like nihilism / pure chaos, but that's the culture we were born into.

Anyways, "big number" is always instantly more attractive to humans for some reason, but as always, the devil is in the details.
GPU rootkits are sounds like misnomer unless they start getting rewritable persistent storage (maybe they do now and my knowledge is out of date).

If you've got malicious code in your GPU, shut it off wait a few seconds, turn it back on.

Actually looking at the definition, my understanding might be off or the definition has morphed over time. I used to think it wasn't a rootkit unless it survived reinstalling the OS.
Understood, and I agree. We could make this argument about other utilities too, e.g. mains water vs having your own water tank, public transport vs private cars. I guess municipal water supplies don't face the same 'existential' crisis, but public transport certainly has suffered with the rise of private car ownership, irrespective of the benefits that the latter has bought to individuals.
In many disciplines, it is almost impossible to get oneself into an environment anywhere remotely as rich in collective expertise, resources, and academic-social interaction as a proper graduate research program. There are exceptions (e.g., aspects of tech where money can be made, aspects of social science that intersect with public policy or activism, etc.) but they are rare.

Do we know what fraction of Kagi users access it through Tor?
Gut response to this is twofold. First 'luxurious' sounds wasteful, but I guess that's the intent of the word. I suspect it's a trivial component of total funding, but is the most visible to non-science types.

Second, 'read claims' but not citing them sounds a lot like the hand-wavey 'People are saying ...'
Maybe I didn't completely get the idea yet, but wouldn't those 10% then by definition be priced so high that no one could reasonably afford it? And certainly not people who have trouble to make ends meet anyway.
Also, it can be ran through water pipes to retrofit areas that you dont want to dig up

And if you're really ambitious, you can run it through oil pipelines.

One of the first nationwide VOD networks was a private one run by a big oil pipeline company in Houston. I knew someone who worked on one of its daily live news shows that was transmitted that way to energy traders and oil/gas executives in offices across North America.

They made a mint selling the excess bandwidth to television stations and networks.
> Sun named it OpenOffice.

Slightly more correct: Sun kept StarOffice as a commercial offering and also open sourced it under the name of OpenOffice.org in parallel. The .org was quite important to them in the name.

> LibreOffice was forked from OpenOffice after Oracle acquired Sun.

The actual forking happens earlier with a patch set living outside Sun and sponsored by some Linux distros for a while. After Oracle's acquisition however the foundation was built and the name LibreOffice was picked.
Very good question. I dont. Perhaps I am pythoning wrong.

Well, yes, I suppose that is what I'm saying. Kudos for the perspective.

I think what it is, is that it's murky whether perfect pitch is the ability to name notes, or the capacity to learn to be able to. Historical thinking has mostly been that the two are the same, however I'm referring to it more as the former whereas you're referring to it more like the latter.

So I guess the point I'm trying to make is that the two aren't the same, which is more or less what's being supported by the paper. People might have the capacity to learn the ability (as the 'listen to a song in your head' exercise I described aims to demonstrate) and think they don't, because the common perception is that if you don't have the ability you don't have the capacity to learn it. Or something like that.

Just to clarify, when you said "this account" did you mean me or the person I was conversing with?

I think there's a lot to location relative thinking on this, but if you're generating a surplus, it's worth thinking about the actual value of the surplus, because your savings are portable.

Ex: if everything is relative, and you can make double the average and save 10% regardless of location, you'd have a lot more savings if you lived where costs were much more, because 10% of $200,000 is a lot more than 10% of $24,000. And then after several years of working, you might move to the low cost area and retire. More likely, things aren't really that equally relative. So you'd want to estimate how many dollars you could save in low cost location and the high cost location (and add in factors for non-monetary concerns, like stress, natural beauty, access to things you like to access, and work authorization)

I've worked in higher ed for 26 years with nearly a decade each at two large research universities (1 public, 1 private). Indirects fund administrative (compliance, legal, HR, etc) overhead, facilities (bricks, mortar, plumbing, HVAC, etc.) and all the other stuff that a research lab needs to function and comply with the terms of their grant funding.

I'm sorry but there's no luxurious facilities being funded with research grant indirects. You've been misled or are mistaken.
