I tried Asahi on my older M1 macbook and the battery life is still very bad. I am pretty experienced trying to dive into CPU schedulers and kernel settings, etc. to try and fix it, but I was unable to squeeze more than about 3 hours of battery out of the laptop WHILE CLOSED! In contrast just booting up mac os the battery lasts about 36 hours+ while closed.

I don't see how it being Canadian is relevant. First off Canada is part of North America and North America is big geographically. We have similar car culture compared to USA. There are very large subsidies given to battery manufacturing sector in Canada amounting to $43.6 billion over 10 years as part of the latest budget.

No because USA's central bank is raising rates as well. Only when the policies differ do the currencies move. So Yen seems to have been falling for awhile since their central bank lagged USA. It would probably be a poor choice to dump USD for Yen IMO.

We could let the market set interest rates but they would be much higher. Banks would be very unhappy since they have loaded up on the rock bottom rates. You'd see many banks go under similar to SV bank. This is a world economy and they are all somewhat aligned on their interest rate policies. Those that don't fall in line will see a currency repricing (and some like Japan want that to some extent).

It seems small, until you try to download it.

Not sure where the quote is from but inflation is still above the target of 2% (by traditional measures) so is that not considered high?

Sure! Salaries are what people use to exchange money for goods and services that these companies produce in theory. But the free money environment we've lived in the last decade seems to have primed companies to think that operating at a loss is okay. If we just fire the workers, and sales lag and dip, its okay because it will force the fed to lower rates and we can just borrow our way back to the top with no sales!

Imagine though... an AI startup that just trades goods between AIs. We should actually start firing customers!

Makes sense I wasn't thinking about the full on laundering aspects. But even so, if the real estate is used in laundering, it will eventually have to be sold to get back clean money. This should still run up prices at the start, and run them down in the end. So I think the majority of the point still stands: there should be an uptick in sales (which there is not). They could be speculating on top of laundering, in which case they are taking some losses. We are -20% from peak. The time will come when they (the launderers) will need liquidity and sell which has not come. Will it ever come?

All sounds very plausible, but where are the effects of this? We should be seeing many people holding mortgages at HSBC not able to pay. Are there no public stats showing how many lack of payments being made to HSBC? Is HSBC going to hold on to these properties taking massive losses? For how long? It has definitely helped the run up of prices here. It will also help the collapse of prices as well, either that or the collapse of HSBC. Maybe the effects take a very long time to manifest. Lets hope it's not too long :)

The price of a bitcoin sets an upper bound on consumption of energy where the miner will be in a place that is no longer profitable since energy costs money. On top of this, miners have no upward way to influence the price of bitcoin, only downward (selling of coins, or destruction of trust).

If we just properly externalized the cost of CO2 emissions it solves this problem along with many others. So why don't we do that?

What I've found in reality is that machine learning is 99% data cleaning scripts and 1% the part you're talking about. I've also seen the heavy duty statistics people writing data cleaning python scripts which probably leads to a lot of frustrations :)

Is there a simple diagram app / site / etc. that uses this? I love the look.I'd love to diagram things using it. Love the fill types which could be great for accessibility.

I believe it supports pwas fully. Click ... Menu and click "add to home screen"

I think you will find openexr surprisingly well supported across many platforms.

Maybe a counter point here, but I've doubled down on Firefox only, even at work. Things like hangouts and many other Goog services seem to have started working more at parity compared to Chromium at least I've found, in the last year or so.

Your talk of xrun is giving me anxiety. When I was younger I dreamed of having a linux audio effects stack with cheap hardware on stage and xruns brought my dreams crashing down.

It may be using the streaming demo. The reason I know to answer your question is that I had modified the streaming demo myself for personal use before. I think there is bugs in the silence detection code (as of a few months back, maybe fixed now). Maybe what we are seeing in this demo is just the "silence detection" setting to be waiting for very long pauses, I believe its configurable.

It waits for sufficient silence to determine when to stop recording the voice and send it to the model. There is other modes in the source as well and methods of setting the length of silences in order to chunk up and send bits at a time, but I imagine that is either work in progress or not planned for this demo.

Explained better above. There are more irrational numbers, almost guaranteeing any number come across in nature is irrational. Interesting thought since I think one thing that makes irrational numbers is there is no function for them. So it's kind of a cheeky way to say no math formulas can ever describe the real world since all the numbers are irrational.

I think I heard that all numbers in the real world are irrational. So that means most of math is not real, except of course the irrationals like pi :)

Quick google for France shows 1.83 births per woman vs USA's 1.64. So maybe there is a correlation.

I bet that none will wind up in Canada. The scenario here is being fired in USA, and the visa holder clearly want to be in USA, not Canada, otherwise they'd be in Canada already. So the scenario lets say comes to pass, mass USA layoffs at tech companies hiring H1Bs. Why would Canadian tech companies (Which tech companies BTW?) be hiring while everyone else is firing the cheapest labor force available? Just my thoughts. I have worked with many visa holders in USA and their biggest fear is layoffs due to having to leave USA. But every visa holder I know who was laid off (had a big layoff at my company), was hired less than 1 month after they layoff in USA.

I question it myself a bit but I think I will stick to my argument. Yes it is a small amount of weight, but from what I understand passenger cars contribute a lot (28%) to total greenhouse gas emissions. 290.8M cars on the road in USA alone. I will say a copper heating coil in a seat weighs 3 Lbs. 4,094 Lbs is the average weight of car. So we could save .1% of the weight of the car maybe? Over the lifetime of a vehicle couldn't it add up?

Then we can add in the CO2 emission of manufacturing dead material to place in the car.

To top it all off, no one wants this.

Haha yeah I wasn't quite sure from the response, so I just expanded on what I was saying before. I wonder if there is any examples of it being a good thing in any way shape or form.

Not sure what you're getting at, but the back seat example here has all the same issues I pointed out above. They actually would weigh even more than seat heaters. I only gave some examples above of why it's bad but there are many more off the top.

Either way if I truly think I am right, then BMW, etc should just go ahead with this plan. It should be a money loser for them in the long run. But on second thought why burn all this CO2 just to prove a point. We should probably collectively put a stop to it sooner rather than later.

Producing the extra weight of the seat heater requires extra fuel to burn. Now multiply that by the number of cars on the road. Will cost the customer a (small) amount extra in fuel costs for a part that is not being used. So there is an economic argument that ya, we can subsidize manufactures by taxing people more. Seems like a bad deal to me.

Now lets talk about CO2 output of driving around extra dead weight. Makes it worse.

USD is at a higher level of abstraction than gltf (IMO). It was created to ease things such as scene graph LOD (levels of detail) for example. It's made for very large scenes. It was created as a file format to exchange very large scenes for 3d animated movies. Inside of a USD file you can point to many other files, for example GLTF, OBJ files etc.

It seems like a great format so far, but I'm skeptical based on Adobe, Apple, Autodesk track records for "open" formats.

I know nothing really of this worldcoin latest hype. I think that attesting that you have one, without revealing who you are, could maybe be used to attest that you are not a bot? Maybe I misunderstand. Sounds interesting if true tho.

Gettin high on skooma no doubt

The word is mentioned in 1 song lyric: "Karma Police". That's all I got from where it could possibly make any connection.
