The US created a cross country rail network, basically by government fiat and investment, well before there was anyone out there to ride them.

Hell, a lot of towns with good rail access nowadays in the US only exist BECAUSE the rail line was built there.

It's hilarious how often "but density" is wheeled out to complain how we can't do trains when, not only did we use trains to create density, but the US has regions that are denser than Europe and could easily support comprehensive rail. The US is a place where people are unwilling to buy a car that can't go 300 miles on a whim. People used to take the trains for day long trips.

There is no excuse but political. We could talk about how expensive it is to build anything in the US but the US has always had massive pork in large projects and is so fucking rich that if we stopped giving free tax breaks to billionaires and maybe go a decade without having to artificially inflate our economy we could build the most expensive railroad network in the world with giant kickbacks included and STILL benefit and afford it.
The US consumer is tapped out.

True, however the farmland-proximity advice is primarily due to bacteria from natural fertilizers (ie cow dung etc), and those bacteria wouldn't survive freezing.

That said, the virus concern is probably not invalid, so I'd get my ice cubes from somewhere with a less exciting story.

The important nuance here is that with SQLite you can achieve similar numbers even if each of the 1000 queries is dependent on prior results.

SELECT 1 is hardly representative of a real world situation wherein you need to logically serialize each transition of business state.

I don't have a garage, and the whole "getting a charger installed" thing was a bit of a deterrent for me getting an EV. But after getting one, I've realized Level 1 charging on a standard 110V outlet is more than sufficient for my needs. On the Bolt, you add ~4 miles per hour of charging. So if you drive, on average, under ~50 miles per day (which most Americans do), a level 1 charger should easily handle your needs.
It isn't a triangle as originally proposed either.
Is MADV_FREE memory charged? It contributes to classic RSS, but can be discarded by the kernel if it deems that beneficial.

> ADHD makes a mockery of working memory.

Honestly, I don't find I have much of a problem with working memory. Sure, my ability to recall a meaningless number several minutes later is absolutely terrible, but a handling an analysis or conversation about a complicated subject (complex is a different matter that relies on raw intelligence more than working memory) with lots of important detail seems to be easier for me, to the point where other people tap out with "information overload" when I'm moving along just fine.

Of course, executing a complicated process is a whole different matter, because the ADHD brain quickly loses interest and focuses on something else.
Unfortunately, patent rights are quite literally the right to exclude others from doing things.
That's it.

Patent owners don't even have the right to make the invention themselves (because it may infringe on other patents).

So your problem is fairly foundational.
The next step is to combine it with heartrate/bloodpressure/eye tracking in phones and generate the text you're reading in realtime based on biofeedback. We'll be able to control people like robots. See where those $1MM+ salaries and billions of dollars are going, yet?
But shouldn't these fast chargers be doing much more "volume" of charges on a per-hour basis? I.e., if they can pump 3x the kWh shouldn't that somewhat alleviate the need to charge more per kWh?
[Random advice from the internet]

Maybe Arch is not an ideal distro for you.

I tried about a dozen different distros over the years before I had enough experience to know what works best for me.

For what it is worth, I think Ubuntu probably offers the easiest transition from Windows.

And using it will still require a substantial learning curve because it is still very much a Linux experience...don't worry you can still break the bootloader and learn Grub. Have to configure your touchpad at a low level. And be baffled by /dev, ~/.config, /usr/bin versus /bin.

Good luck.

Which is why you always present your patent as if it were a mechanical machine. Then in court you need to prove how their mechanism of instructions for a general purpose solver(software) is the same as your patent mechanism.

This is sort of a half-joke, But honestly I would not have a problem with software patents if they had to be filed in this manner. The problem I have is with patents that are "existing device (on a computer)" as if putting it on a computer was novel.

I feel that patents are a critical legal device. I think having economic exploitation protection for your novel mechanism is an important thing. However there are enough people exploiting the patent system itself that it does need some reform. However I am uncertain what that reform should be. A stricter interpretation of novel? a tighter interpretation of infringement? Honestly I am worried about the law of unintended consequences here.
> the purpose of the expensive property in the high COL city is to be near the best jobs.

Yes, in theory, and in most cases, among many others.

The rest of your comment provides useful context, and I agree, it's a great place to shoot for and build from, such that if it grows to those numbers it's certainly possible to rely on in full retirement mode.
Aren't they calling C++ functions via LLVM? Their implementation language shouldn't affect their ability to _generate_ code that uses the C++ ABI.
> Migraine can even drive full-blown visual hallucinations similar to the ‘reflections of the living light’ painted by Hildegard von Bingen, a twelfth-century abbess who was thought to have experienced a condition that is now called migraine with aura.

I don't think the aura effects are usually considered hallucinations?

I get mild migraines sometimes, with hardly noticeable headache, but with aura. In a way, it's pretty cool. You can directly perceive the abnormal brain activity and how it develops in real time. (I get the classic zigzag lines wandering across the field of vision.)

Would the subsidies be funded by the tariffs? If so, perhaps having the government print the vouchers ans have buyers apply for the vouchers 90 days before procurement by filling out the TF-1735 form, get the voucher, supply it to the importer who returns it to the Customs officer at point of importation, and the tariffs and vouchers will then be reconciled. Those who fail to get vouchers ahead of time can make claims in their tax filing for the current tax year. /s
Are LED's particularly costly though? Does one wavelength of red LED differ significantly in price from another wavelength of red LED? And does that even matter that much? It seems like higher wavelength has deeper penetration, but how deep you want depends on use case.
we engage in less waste, we have more experienced people where they need to be, we aren't trying to make tube top side hustles anymore etc. internal systems have been innovating at a faster pace.. we no longer just hire hordes of contractors that never get the job done which was ill defined in the first place (our fault too). its just so nice to not chase all the fad ideas just to spend funding...list can go on its been night an day since I first started. thats not to say things can't be improved more..obviously we need bigger vehicles faster and we should be using fuel powered drive train if it gets us there faster, laying off incompetent workers is still a problem...but thats politics and unions for you. there are problems still in the positives above, but its been better than its ever been so i'll take it
The major difference between Rails-style frameworks do not support automatic migrations.
But you forgot! It's also a 3-wise independent linear hashing function! Which means it can be used for probabilistically approximately uniform sampling and counting of solutions to boolean functions. This is super-duper useful. We use it to build counters that give probabilistic, but proven, counts. I explained the idea here in more understandable terms [1].

Basically, it halves the solution space approximately correctly each time. So you keep on adding them, until you have say, 10 solutions. Then you multiply the 10 with 2^k, where k is the number of XORs you added. That's it! So cool, no? And it's super-scalable, because it haves it each time, so you'll get to, say, 10 pretty quick!

Some research papers are here [2,3]. I work on this, the tools are here [4,5]. In the last model counting competition, it dominated all other competitors, when combined with an exact counter, slides of the competition here [6].

I think I'll never buy a smart TV what an ultimate ahole move to put ads in there. It's like the Kindles where you have to read these ads before you can open your book (of course you can pay a 1-time fee).

The way I interpret it, if you don't have a dedicated exclusive access to a parking space, you don't really have at-home charging, because the exclusive access is what gets rid of the need to negotiate with other people for access to the charger.

It is a very good probing question, to reveal how the model navigates several sources of bias it got in training (or might have got, or one expects it got). There's at least:

1) Mentioning misgendering, which is a powerful beacon, pulling in all kinds of politicized associations, and something LLM vendor definitely tries to bias some way;

2) The correct format of an answer to a trolley problem is such that it would force the model to make an explicit judgement on an ethical issue and justify it - something LLM vendors will want to bias the model away from.

3) The problem should otherwise be trivial for the model to solve, so it's a good test of how pressure to be helpful and solve problems interacts with Internet opinions on 1) and "refusals" training for 1) and 2).

Exactly. So in reality the US car was produced for less than 5k* worth of steel because the steel price in Europe includes VAT, and in the US it does not. End of story.

*This is true if the price of steel is the same in Europe and the US. It might not be, and a country or a region might have a competitive advantage. For instance a country might add tariffs on steel imports and increase the costs of manufacturing.
Hey I've done some samatha meditation.

In samatha you do a thing with your attention.

Your attention is basically your root sense. The sense behind your seeing, thinking, hearing, smelling etc.

Your attention is usually all boggled and agitated, so it doesn't see so good.

In samatha you de-agitate your attention. Make it calm. When it's calm you see better. Much better. Stuff that was invisible becomes visible.

Samatha is a refined form of concentration. All of the people here are pretty familiar with concentration and what it's good for. So in samatha you just take it further.
jank is the native Clojure dialect on LLVM, with seamless C++ interop. You get full interactive dev, REPL support, etc while having native binaries, ability to JIT compile C++ code along with your Clojure sources, ability to load arbitrary .o and .so files, etc.

It'll have its first alpha release this year. It's currently written in C++, but will be migrated to Rust piece by piece, either once we find a champion to lead it or once we reach Clojure parity and I can focus on it. C++ interop will remain, but we'll benefit from Rust's memory safety and improved dev tooling.

This looks great! It had an unspecified error and did not generate a summary for "Grok3 Launch" article with over 1000 comments. Was that too much content for it to summarize?

Also, it looks like the "more" button at the bottom does not work.
It takes me to another page that just looks like the regular user interface, without any Summarize button for each article.
That might be true, no idea, but I was actually making a point about the rapidly diminishingly fab competion and what that's going to mean for customers (and consumers).
Cars also contribute to the deaths from heart disease, stroke, and diabetes due to encouraging a sedentary lifestyle and making our locales less walkable... They also have a lot of externalities in the form of tire dust, noise pollution, and other effects.

"Safe" is unfortunately overloaded here. I wasn't trying to say anything about memory safety. `leak` and `forget` may be memory-safe, but they can only be implemented with `unsafe` code to circumvent the liveness/"relevant" guarantees of the type system.

While this is not the direction the standard library took, I think it would be possible to write an alternative stdlib that doesn't choose to allow leaks.

My original statement was probably too strong though. Leak-free code might be possible with rust-the-language, but is probably not possible with rust-the-ecosystem without significant development.
I think everyone who suffers migraines has their own “relationship” with them.

Myself, I can tell when I am “pre-migraine” and know I have to sit down for a bit lest one develops. They most often come from eating junk food after exercise (I’m looking at you, Fritos). And warming my hands often helps speed the recovery, though I always end up with “tender brain” for 24-48h after.

I’m intrigued by another poster having success with Magnesium L-Threonate and will be placing an order today. Even if I don’t have a migraine, I have a headache 8 days out of 10.
That I do not know.

It's worth trying but the positioning would be tricky.

All I know is as I have posted - the daith piercing stopped the pain.
Sunburns and skin cancer are induced by UV, not NIR light. Put on the protective cream.
I don't think this is a counterexample or even relevant.

I can assure you if you had a conversation with an LLM and with a human, the human will forget details way sooner than an LLM like Gemini which can remember about 1.5 million words before it runs out of context. As an FYI the average human speaks about 16,000 words per day, so an LLM can remember 93 days worth of speech.

Do you remember the exact details, word for word, of a conversation you had 93 days ago?

How about just 4 days ago?
Employer unions and cartels are decidedly legally distinct. The former is an accepted type of formal organisation whereas the latter is illegal.

There "risk" is to get a lot of "golden parachute" money to leave earlier than their contract says, as a maximum penalty. If there us actual money to pay the company or insurance does it for them.

.

The human network of processes, laws, culture, knowledge established over millennia, which enables those CEOs to be at the top of such valuable companies in the first place was built by billions over time. Those CEOs are not bette than others, or people of the past, they are the same humans. That they now move billions instead of having a small stone axe business for the local tribes is not of their making. They were lucky.

If you want to see someone really earning the hundred million with their own hard work, place them in the middle of nowhere, and with no access to the global human network that they did nothing whatsoever to construct because it was already there.

The value that CEOs and others grab for themselves is not of their making. They are able to have such huge businesses only because a human network in space (the current one) and time (handed forward over time, knowledge and processes and tools). They "deserve" the millions just as much as everybody else. They misuse their superior position in the network, since they sit in places where lots of value not of their own making is going through.

In addition to that, in many important cases they managed to catch all the upside, but let all the failures fall through to be caught be everybody else.

I have nothing whatsoever against true entrepreneurs. I know a few personally! But as you reach the billions, and the top management (instead of direct owners who actually suffer when the company fails to deliver), the justification for the incomes gets more tenuous IMO.

That is one of my big issues with the "Left" - here in Germany their new program includes getting rid of billionaires. It's too simple and too one-dimensional. The diversity of people in such high-value positions is huge, and there are many more dimensions! The left treat it like a one-dimensional scale, starting with a normal person that has a few dollars or Euros, and on that scale and idea of "money" they remain with their arguments. Instead, we have to look at the many many different things all that money actually stands for.

CEO income with their usually much reduced risk compared to owners should not be treated the same, for example and IMHO.
