I'm not sure that this achieves anything more than a pinky promise of "we won't read your files" because when push comes to shove the keys will be logged and turned over to the authorities.

There's a big gulf between "eventually all marginal productivity increases are eaten by rising land rent" and "laws of supply and demand don't apply."

You have no reason to believe people with new marginal income from UBI would move to lower COL areas. We have strong reason to believe they'd spend that money to move toward high COL areas. Evidence for this is the fact that people, when they have money, choose to live in high COL areas.

Cool that that exists. I’m actually surprised that car manufactures support opening up control like that. Or is this essentially a private interface for implementers; how much are end-users supposed to be messing around with internals like this?

I don't think it does. Or if so, only at a marginal level.

I think tech people might be more willing to be out about being gay, trans, etc. They do tend to skew younger and more liberal than other groups. (Or at least, we used to be. We've felt awfully old and cranky lately.) We're also wealthier: it's a lot easier to come out when you have freedom.

Sexuality and gender are baked deeply into your being. They are set long before you get put on a career path. People in some cultures are less likely to come out about it, for a variety of reasons.

I think it's notable that the tech industry has a major center in San Francisco, which was also a center of gay life after World War II. (It is said that it's a place where returning servicemen would stay, perhaps because they were afraid to go home.)

The ceasefire is basically the world asking Russia: do you have any interest in any long term peace at all?

The answer is probably "not really" but Russia cannot signal that this early on. It's more beneficial to say "yes" to something with zero consequences and then dodge peace during actual negotiations.
The C standard guarantees certain behaviours that will not change, even if your C compiler changes. That's the whole point of the standard. And it has nothing to do with the problem of induction.

Silence is unnatural anyway. If you move to a rural area with no neighbors or traffic in sight, you'll still hear plenty of noises inside your house. Rather than rage about distracting noises, just turn on the radio or something to drown it out.

Considering the costs of a more serious homelab, I think paying $5 a month for a tool that can save you some time and effort, can be reasonable. Of course only if you see the value for yourself. That value comes from more features than just the shell opener, that is only a part of XPipe.

The community version is pretty extensive in what you can do with it, so I think you can accurately judge whether the homelab plan is worth it for you by using it for a bit.
> Virtual machines still suck a lot of CPU and bandwidth for nothing but emulation. Containers in Linux with cgroups are still full of RCE (remote command execution) and priviledge escalation. New ones are discovered each year. The first report I got on those listed 10 or more RCE + PE (remote root on the machine). Remote root can also escape VMs probably also.

A proper virtual machine is extremely difficult to break out of (but it can still happen [1]). Containers are a lot easier to break out of. I virtual machines were more efficient in either CPU or RAM, I would want to use them more, but it's the worst of both.

I believe in much of the ocean nitrogen is not the limiting nutrient for plant growth, because while it can be fixed from dissolved molecular nitrogen, there's no direct major source of things like phosphorus or iron.

GitHub. Text starting with "in the beginning". The first link is to a page maybe from 1993?

I scroll to find the webpage which is not clearly linked but under "scope of work - plan".

Open one. Nothing showing me any examples.

You can accuse me of being lazy. Sure. But this setup feels like it's putting a lot of roadblocks in the way where people who want to care about this and help will drop out.
Every junior has mentors and leaders that help them and that they can follow. As you grow you might become one of them. That's the reason why you then let others do all of the coding. It's not like you unlearn everything, but you let your team grow and become you in the end. It can be really satisfying. If you can't stop getting your hands dirty then maybe it's not for you (yet).
"One former attorney general told us that he likes how it balances the intent of the law."

I know they add a thiol (sulfur compound that smells like rotten eggs) to the city mains for cooking/heating gas.

Would be interesting to know if its commonly added to industrial LNG. Because we burn a lot of that - even if you only add a few ppm thiol to natural gas, that's a whole lot of sulfur being burnt...

> Given all of those reasons, it am not surprised at all that JVM/CLR are used for large business apps, while smaller things are written in other languages. And that means all the cool stuff is going to be C++/C/Rust/Python, while only the boring enterprise apps would be Java.

There is enough cool stuff on Android, and embedded with Java.

Also although not Java level, back in the 1990's there were already two attempts to have Smalltalk experience for C++, Lucid Energize C++ (after their Common Lisp pivot), and Visual Age for C++ v 4.0 (which introduced a image like concept for C++ development).

Both failed due to hardware resources, and the related cost to have such a capable workstation.

However, the LSP idea traces back to systems like Cadillac used by Lucid Energize C++, not surprising given that the main Visual Studio Code (nee Monaco) is Enrich Gamma from Eclipse fame.

Delphi and C++ Builder still offer to this day, similar kind of IDE experience, ironically Visual C++ was never as RAD as C++ Builder, nor as visual.

Additionally, Clion with clangd and Live++, offers some of the same experience that Energize C++ and Visual Age for C++ tried to make common in the 1990's.

> He wrote an example where the result of `a+1` isn't necessary, so the compiler doesn't emit an ADDI even though the literal text of the C source contains the substring "a += 1".

No, the result of the 'a+1' is necessary in my version. And if you change the type from 'int' to 'unsigned' you will see that the compiler no longer just omits the addition.

Ammonia tankers seem a good test bed for this tech as they already carry Ammonia and dock in places that handle it.

Other fuel cell based technologies seem to be working on scaling up, they can supplement electrical generation for crew before working with the existing generators with the aim to eventually replace them.

Like trains, ships get technical benefits from being hybrid. This makes it relatively easy then to be made more hybrid, plug into shore power when available, add some batteries and, solar panels etc.

There's no one easy fix but lots of little ones. The most interesting one I saw discussed is contracts that share the blame when delays happen. Previously ships would race to their destination and then wait around because if they missed a connection they would be held responsible. Now they can all go at slower, more efficient just-in-time speeds and the costs of the occasional missed deadline are amortized. With fuel savings they all come out ahead so it's a win-win.
> So for green ammonia to get adopted, a strong 'carbon price' needs to be in place, and I think that same strong carbon price would make biodiesel competitive.

Complaining about the inconsistencies of the matplotlib interface is pretty much beating a dead horse by now, and has been done repeatedly and in detail by others.

The problems start as soon as you try doing something more than plt.plot(), and you get your first encounter with the maddening interface differences between a single figure plot and a multi-figure plot. And then it spirals out of control from there.

There is no denying that a lot of effort was put in the library over the years, with lots of documentation and examples, but my general experience over the 15 years I've been using it is that as soon as you try doing something slightly different than the defaults, it invariably turns out to be a time-consuming, frustrating endeavour, with no guarantees that you'll get the result you want.

I suspect this is an intentionally edgy take but I'll bite. Basic research has proven thousands of times to be a force multiplier in everything, healthcare included. The reason we do this (if you're strictly looking at it from a sociopaths point of view) is that it benefits the next generation of design when we learn why these ones break.

The reason you should want to do it if you have a functioning human soul is to lessen the suffering of others if you have the ability to do so.

Who decides what those “rights” are? You need a source for those rules that is respected by the governed as legitimately superseding the popular will. Constitutional democracy exists in America, for example, because Americans had shared english political norms stretching back to the Magna Carta. They could invoke the “god-given rights of Englishmen” and that’s would have purchase among the electorate.

What equivalent do you have in India (or Bangladesh or Iraq or Afghanistan)? You can try imposing the same ancient political norms that existed in Britain, and that’s what the Indian constitution did. But you can’t scream “you’re doing democracy wrong!” when Indians refuse to give much weight to those colonial impositions, as is happening.
Dang is great!

>“Twenty or thirty years ago, the shipping industry made a major shift to natural gas, believing it was the fuel of the future. Now, we know it wasn’t the right step,” says Prousalidis.

This sentence confuses me. The shipping industry runs on natural gas? If so, why is there regret? My impression is that most systems using natural gas right now are in a good position.

What am I missing here?
I'm pretty sure the costs of producing a fuel based solely on making it with electricity is by far, of all the options you named, best done with Ammonia.

The reason the cost of ammonia is barely better, or even worse, than things like methanol, is because the electricity process is still expensive.

But that can (and soon would!) become waaaay cheaper. Electricity __NOT__ on demand is dirt cheap and can be halved and quartered some more: Solar panels are _idiotically cheap_ these days and that state of affairs is not temporary.

We need more not-on-demand needs. As in, 'hey, uh, if theres some power left over cuz it's windy and sunny.. no prob! Let me run these ammonia producing machines at full power for a bit. No need for ammonia right now? No problem - compared to electricity, ammonia is vastly simpler to store'.

Ammonia is a great not-on-demand consumer of electricty. That's why this is necessary.

As you said:

> the cost of the green electricity dominates the economics over the process plant CAPEX anyway.

That's exactly the factor that can become ridiculously cheap. It isn't today because there's not much point investing in solar/wind because they do not cover on-demand needs (when it's not particularly sunny/windy, then electricity prices are sky high and you want to build electricity production that can deliver then. And solar/windy by definition can't), and the primary issue is transport.

if the demand for ammonia skyrockets, you can solve it all. Ammonia does not need to be produced on-demand, and you don't need all that much transport (build the ammonia producing plant close to your solar/wind parks).
For some reason, I find the ANC of the quiet comfort to be very uncomfortable. When I turn on the ANC, it feels like there's a sort of pressure and I really dislike it.

What happens if we don't add any moments matching objective? e.g. at train time just fit a diffusion model that predicts the target given any pair of timesteps (t, t')? Why is moment matching critical here?

Also regarding linearity, why is it inflexible? It seems quite convenient that a simple linear interpolation is used for reconstruction, besides, even in DDIM, the directions towards the final target changes at each step as the images become less noisy. In standard diffusion models or even flow matching, denoising is always equal to the prediction of the original data + direction from current timestep to the timestep t'. Just to be clear, it is intuitive that such models are inferior in few-step generations since they don't optimise for test time efficiency (in terms of the tradeoff of quality vs compute), but it's unclear what inflexibility exists there beyond this limitation.

Clearly there's no expected benefit in quality if all timesteps are used in denoising?
I misinterpreted "Nothing like hearing English..." as a comment on the fact that the indigenous language is no longer spoken very much. Just a bias of mine.

Btw "Gaelic" alone typically refers to either the language family - Scottish, Irish, and Manx - or specifically to Scottish Gaelic. Irish Gaelic, in English, is simply referred to as "Irish" or "the Irish language". And it's largely the source of the way the Irish use English.
Yes, but there are similarities, it has the same hacker mind set imo.

Your website and product looks very suspicious and a close clone of InterviewCoder. [0]

Did you just carbon copy and clone it directly from InterviewCoder? [0]. You have close to the same text (if not verbatim) and just shuffled the logos around.

To be honest, there really is no shame in admitting to ripping off others in a broken interview system as the race to zero even squeezes the online assessment (OA) platforms like Leetcode and Hackerrank.

But you know what? Good. Please do it.

I really want all clones, copy-cats, or opportunists and even grifters to succeed in completely destroying OA platforms. The more of this, the better and the faster that we should not use OA platforms and just go back to in-person interviews.
