Are you familiar with how disk brakes on a car operate? They’re essentially a hydraulic piston clamping the brake pads against the rotor. When you let off the brake pedal, the pressure is removed, but there’s not a “retraction” of any kind. So there’s no pressure but nothing is actually making that gap. That article was articulating basically that the piston, when not compressing the brake pads, should not be too far out, because that’s just unnecessary travel of the pedal, but it does not mean that the brake pads are somehow gapped away from the rotors.

Drum brakes by contrast have springs that retract the pads from the braking surface, so the OP has a very valid point.

Ask about Xi Jinping in all the ways you can imagine (jokes, bad habits, failures, embarrassing facts, ...). Compare the responses to other well known politicians, use the same prompt in a fresh conversation with a different name.

Ask about the political system of china and its flaws. Compare the sentiment of the responses with answers about other political systems.

You might get some critical answers, but the sentiment is usually very positive towards china. Sometimes it doesn't even start reasoning and directly spits out propaganda, that doesn't even answer your question.

You can't test it with deep seek dot com, because it will just remove the answers on those "sensitive" topics. I've mostly tested with 7b from ollama. You might experience something like that with 1.5b too, but 1.5b barely works at all.
I don't think Canadian poultry (meat or egg) is actually vaccinated against avian influenza?

Here's the CBC talking why Canadian egg prices have been relatively stable so far (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/egg-prices-avian-flu-canada-u...). No mention of vaccines.

It’s not a crime because POTUS can post-facto declassify it, so that when Musk posted it, it was declassified.
That sentence is very misleading.

There are countries that do not allow the importing of the products of vaccinated chickens because they are concerned the chickens may have asymptomatic bird flu.

The scientific merit of that is irrelevant. It is a fact that US agricultural policy has to take into account. Bird flu is an economic problem, primarily, and vaccination might not be worth it if the cost is killing the poultry export industry.
It's based on "patches" (which was what the original comment was referring to).

A Darcs patch is somewhat like a diff, in that most patches will describe a sequence of text to be removed and added from specific points in each file.

But: Darcs patches add:

- The ability to work out precisely how to apply the same patch in a different context in a reproducible way (or to refuse to do so if it can't do it safely)
- More "semantic" kinds of change such as replacing all occurrences of a token in a file, or renaming a file. In both cases this will merge cleanly and reproducibly with other changes to the same file.

(The usual disclaimer: Take what I say with a grain of salt, I am just speaking from my own N=1 experience here and I am not any good at management).

To me the discussion about Celery vs polling the queue didn't seem like the core theme, in that they are different tools with different trade-offs and you most likely can end up solving the problem with any of them even if you pick the wrong one (and learn from it!). Rather the problem seems to be that you think that your team is picking the wrong tool and you have no power to change it, and you feel that there isn't going to be any consequence, change, reflection or learning whatsoever if/when that's shown to be the case because you have been there before.

At least for me this was a pretty big component in burning out in the past, I put a lot of care and effort into what I do, so when I felt that someone else was continuously and stubbornly making bad decisions and I had no mechanism/leverage to push back against that, it caused a lot of resentment and burned me out.
I wonder about the larger context here, though. No matter what academic studies discover or examine, the rise of anti-intellectual culture suggests that we as a species are going to need to pivot to documentary efforts, in a hope that what we learn in isolation now survives to be acted on in a future, more exploratory, generation.

there is not evidence that it is the "processing" of the UPF that is the problem. so any attempt to ban UPF is doomed.

Less cars. Obviously they will continue to exist, but reducing car miles by: prioritizing mass transit, walking, and biking. Encouraging large companies and businesses to locate with density near stations and urban centers rather in suburbia. Increasing housing stock and density close to stations and urban centers to improve transit effectiveness and reduce commuting miles.
This assumes that we reverse the reaction. That does not need to be the case. We can put it back into the ground. It can either stay where natgas or crude used to be or we can basically turn that into rock (don’t know details but there is a process to do that). Or it can be put in salt caverns.

Either way we still need to capture the CO and CO2 from flue gas which is costly even from point sources and way worse from DAC. Unless we do oxyburning or fosil fuels which is a hack but you need a source of cheap oxygen which we don’t have unless we dramatically scale up electrolysis.

Controller in charge of a specific type of object watches a database table representing the object type. Database table represents the desired state of things. When entries to the table are CRUD-ed, that represents a change to the desired state of things. Controller interacts with the larger system to bring the state of things into alignment with the new desired state of things.

"The larger system" is more controllers in charge of other object types, doing the same kind of work for its object types

There is an API implemented for CRUD-ing each object type. The API specification (model) represents something important to developers, like a group of containers (Pod), a load balancer with VIP (Service), a network volume (PersistentVolume), and so on.

So in the 2008-2009 season, the one before Curry’s debut, the average number of 3 pointer attempts per game from a team was 18. Last season it was 35, so pretty much 2x.

If it was so intricate why nobody tried it before? And why after someone tried it it seemingly stuck? Is it really that far fetched that it was actually pretty simple and nobody noticed for many years?

Even if you consider the adjustement to the defense, you’d be making two pointers easier as you can’t defend tightly both the perimeter and the paint at the same time.
I used and rather liked Darcs in the dark ages when SVN was the best alternative. Then I discovered that it would happily accept largish binary files, but would later refuse to give them back when I needed them. I could have lived with an error on check in.

In my country they tested adolescent children that were brought up by eating "bio" food vs people that ate regular food.

I don't get this take. Criticizing Bambu for being very proprietary is fair. But how are they a Prusa rip-off? Prusa has been selling various evolutions of their Mk3 bedslinger for years, while Bambu entered the market with CoreXY printers. And not only is their design different, the entire philosophy is different: Prusa is selling to enthusiasts who want to tinker with their printer, Bambu is selling an out-of-the-box experience that "just works". Basically the Apple among the printers, if Apple was cheaper than the competition and sold replacement parts.

How is PTO an “indirect cost”, when salary is a direct cost? The company pays a salary to an employee, which includes time off. Is there a separate accounting rule for PTO that moves it to the indirect category?

Another option is to hire the employee as a contractor and let them deal with their own benefits and time off. What am I not understanding here?

Well most of the environmental laws in the way of this were passed by California Republicans, and then expanded by the courts (whatever partisanship that is), and broadly supported by Democrats.

But today it is not "politically incorrect" to advocate for changes to the environmental regulations for California Democrats. And they are definitely pursuing changes to regulations!

So you are very correct that regulations are in the way, and that Democrats are in power, but you are wrong that it's politically incorrect to change the regulations.

Agreed. I think its something to look into but surely the boomers who went through the plastic industry in the 60s had it way worse when we had way less stringent standards and were getting exposed to and even eating now banned substances. If they survived it..and by survive I mean lived to a healthy 80-100 year life for the most part then we probably will be fine.

git is the superior technology. If you weren't around back in the day, one of the big problems with version control was how SLOW it was. Changing branches on a moderate sized codebase in SVN took a long time, and SVN was considered quite fast. When we finally got git we couldn't believe it actually did something. Like you would change branches and it would instantly return, and you would scratch your head and double check that the files were different? It was the difference between 30s of your CPU grinding and 45ms. This was so completely frustrating that long before git became dominant we were all using git-svn so at least we wouldn't be forced to use SVN locally, because it was horrible. Darcs was 1000x worse than that.

Darcs was never good enough, not even close. It wasn't even good. It fundamentally failed at the most basic thing required of version control, that you can actually use it to get work done, because it became so slow with even small codebases that you had to give up and switch to SVN. You could have a codebase with 200k lines of code and basic operations would take 30 MINUTES or longer. (not to mention that darcs would lose data, and you could get in situations where conflict resolution was impossible and you would just be stuck and forced to manually fix things outside of VC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcs#Shortcomings

Darcs was and still is unusable and inferior.

Yeah going net zero by just stopping emissions isn't just not going to help our situation that much, we've already emitted enough to fuck ourselves properly, it's also not even possible.

There's no such thing as a net zero society with our current technology, period. Anyone seen an electric tractor lately? Combine harvester EVs? Electric aircraft? Zero emission concrete? Electric container ships? Cheap plastics without oil? Electric orbital launch vehicles!? Lots of fantasy tech that ranges from being cost ineffective to borderline infeasible and we can't (or won't, anyway) run our civilization without these and dozens more that have no real replacement on the horizon. Covid has made that point really sharply clear, we just can't stop ourselves. Piston engined planes still today run on leaded gas despite knowing that it's literal poison for fucks sake, it's fuckin hopeless to convince anyone about anything when there's a chance someone might lose money.

Carbon capture might help in the long run, but the bulk of it will have to be on geoengineering to even give us a century of time to remove megatons of CO2 out of the atmosphere and oceans. And maybe a fish or two will even survive.
I didn't make the initial post, and 'unsourced in this particular instance' doesn't mean there's no legitimate basis for OP's claims. To be clear, I'm not anti-CCS, but I have an environmental degree and based on my admittedly nonexpert opinion I agree with OP's assertion that it's not really a solution - it's a temporary measure at best.

But yeah I see your point - no multibillion dollar industry filled with experts has ever done anything ill-advised, futile, or environmentally damaging simply for profit. cough corn ethanol Can you imagine how the world would look if that were the case?

Respectfully, I think you are deliberately refusing to acknowledge the thoroughly sound logical arguments I've put forward about the true consequences of what you're proposing.

>Your thinking itself is simplistic and child-like. You see in black and white (no pun intended), so are incapable of reasoning about complexity in the world or having a discussion that involves nuance;

I recognize that historical race relations create a complex emotional landscape for people who are similar in appearance to oppressed people in the past. But that is part of life. We need to move forward and not create more problems by taking from the innocent to prop up non-victims.

>You don't follow humor or irony. It appears to be completely lost on you. I'm sure you'd reply defensively with some commentary on the quality of the humor but, of course, that would miss the point too.

I didn't detect any humor in your writing, besides the original snarky comment that started this. And just because it's snarky doesn't mean that you don't mean to actually insinuate awful things about people.

>You are transparent without being aware of it.

As far as I'm concerned, a majority of people blaming white people for everything are hucksters. But there are quite a few misguided souls who truly bought the lie that there's a huge scheme out there to oppress them because of what they look like. There are always a few racists in the world, but at this point I think most of them (even in our "majority white" country) are not white.

>But, your subsequent replies have been of even poorer quality than I could have imagined, and increasingly so. Take care.

Clearly you misunderstood GP. Bird flu in a farm mean at worst 5% death rate for them, so clearly death isn't why GP talked about the danger for big ag.

In my country, if any factory farm is hit by any virus, the meat is considered tainted and cannot be sold (wouldn't be bought by big retailers anyway) until the virus is cleared.

For poultry it can means 3 months of throwing eggs away. It's more economical to kill all the chickens and start from scratch. If the contamination reach your neighbours, they will do the same thing (so you want to do it early, and radically).
Natural rubber? Definitely used to be a thing and (I think) some higher-grade tires for lorries still have a natural rubber component because it can have better wear properties.
Odd. I tried with an app password and bsky login and got told that I needed authentication. Not sure why it's broken.
Given that roads and tires experience the same forces under driving conditions (Newton’s Third Law guarantees this) I think it’s a reasonable prior assumption to start from. There are of course other environmental factors that accelerate road wear (rain and water erosion, freeze thaw expansion) but those conditions were not included in the study that produced the Fourth Power Law.

lead was the additive of choice to reduce plastics flamability in household items like venitian blinds and other stuff, when it degrades it drops a whitish dust, that is largely lead, also certain plastics react with food and other common things in a home, and react, producing byproducts that are bad for us, and of course, plastic itself is never totaly benign
my preference is to have as little of the stuff around as possible, but that is harder and harder to do
