With zero energy cost it will run until it stops working or runs out of fuel, which I'm guessing is between 5-7 years.

I'm considering buying enough batteries for my day usage, then recharging off the grid during off-peak hours. I can add solar later on.

Within the context of building AI systems: What's the distinction between hallucinating, imagining, and inferring?

I've worked with a large number of vendors and I prefer juniper. They're very easy to write software against.

Publishing the documentation seems like a lot of work. I guess everything is just manually synced between users via git?

"ctrl+f" looks at github "home" looks at youtube

Right but is the particulate matter from burning natural gas any more harmful then the particulate matter from searing protein?

What does that user need to hear? Not which file or subsystem was changed. But the reason there is a change in the first place.

Doesn't that belong in the code itself? Do we really want the intention of a change to sit under multiple levels of blame?

I've been building network controllers my entire career and the "hard part" has never been interacting with devices. Like who cares if you're using Ansible? The hard part is configuring these things; Every vendor has a different way of configuring the same 5 solutions to the same problem, and even with a single vendor network you may have to tailor your configs based on the device type that you're configuring.

IMO there needs to be some higher level abstractions emerge. Half the time I just need a layer 2 network (please don't ask me to configure it one way for a point-to-point vs greater than two endpoints. if there's an optimization to be made do it for me). The other half the time I need a layer 3 network that can peer with BGP (don't ask me what underlay or overlay protocols to use, I only care about the VLANs I'm terminating on).

Slightly related: Cloud providers expose APIs for networks to setup peerings between the cloud provider's network and the network's end customers. These APIs aren't standardized at all, and are a complete PITA for networks that try to integrate their SDN solution with multiple cloud providers. This is one area of complexity that the big guys could cleanup without a lot of work.

Cold showers have very real effects on the human body.

Deliberate cold exposure causes a significant release of epinephrine (aka adrenaline) and norepinephrine (aka noradrenaline) in the brain and body. These neurochemicals make us feel alert and can make us feel agitated and as if we need to move or vocalize during the cold exposure. Cold causes their levels to stay elevated for some time and their ongoing effect after the exposure is to increase your level of energy and focus, which can be applied to other mental and/or physical activities.

It's be really cool to get a detailed look inside.

The article misses probably the easiest way to level up: Join a team. A four-stack is almost always gonna have a leg up on a team of randoms. Playing a game consistently, with the same squad, form group dynamics and strategies that are much more difficult to execute with a first time squad.

Three star reviews feel more intuitive anyway: 1 bad 2 average 3 good.

But when it comes to product reviews, accounts of hardware failures is super important imo.

I don't know... Recency sucks when searching for news related stuff. It feels next to impossible to look into the history of news commentary on any given topic.

Had mine removed and I didn't have any stones, just lots of pain. Sometimes they just stop working.

Most commentators I hear point towards excessive spending as the primary cause of inflation, but I've been wondering: Absent supply chain interruptions, how does inflation manifest when price competition punishes the first one to raise prices?

Another interesting thing is that they don't rank what's "popular" by clicks. Crazy good idea IMO

There are usually news programs on Sunday that will go over the past weeks worth of news. I like Bloomberg radio, which airs like 3 or 4 different weekly recap shows on that day.

The biggest issue I have with Google is that every search is performed in the "now" context. This makes looking back, especially on political issues, basically impossible; There's no way to explore how topics have evolved or progressed over time. I don't mind google search for resolving technical issues as it works pretty well in this context, but the second you start to get curious and look for anything older everything breaks down.

All encryption schemes have this problem. You never really know who you're communicating with unless you trade keys irl.

Tell your doctor about your symptoms and then ask for an ECG. You want to know if you have an underlying heart condition. Depending on what you find, there may be options that will eliminate your arrhythmias.

No, because you wouldn't have actually stolen anything. The content of nfts are public; they kinda have to be to live on the Blockchain. You actually need the wallet that owns the nft in order to prove ownership. In other words, you have to steal someone's wallet to take their nfts.

Bingo. Just because you download an nft doesn't mean you own it. Proof of ownership is achieved by signing a challenge with the wallet linked with the nft (as encoded on the Blockchain).

Wow the IP stuff looks awesome! Generating ranges of IP addresses should have been in the stdlib for a long time.

If Nvidia provided an nft for every graphics card they sold, and every online marketplace like ebay required that you provide that nft to resell the card, then that truck of stolen graphics cards becomes much harder to move.

The big win from this is that you should be able to determine if signed in user (wallet) owns a particular NFT. This would allow for things like transferable software licenses, titles, and deeds.

According to the indictment, the defendants also allegedly made numerous misrepresentations to potential investors about Theranos’s financial condition and its future prospects. For example, the defendants represented to investors that Theranos conducted its patients’ tests using Theranos-manufactured analyzers; when, in truth, Holmes and Balwani knew that Theranos purchased and used for patient testing third party, commercially-available analyzers. The defendants also represented to investors that Theranos would generate over $100 million in revenues and break even in 2014 and that Theranos expected to generate approximately $1 billion in revenues in 2015; when, in truth, the defendants knew Theranos would generate only negligible or modest revues in 2014 and 2015. https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndca/us-v-elizabeth-holmes-et-a...

If that's not fraud, what is?

True, but wouldn't lab grown meat be better? It's a more ethically sourced protein, and can be tailored to the individual for optimum health

There's no way we can't genetically engineer a solution to this problem. Maybe not today, but certainly in the near future. I'm surprised he seems so pessimistic.

I don't see how government can make even a dent in what are ultimately cultural issues without drastic changes to the core of our laws. The idea that you can't deny service to an individual for their political views is a big shift. The idea that businesses must align with government goals is a big shift. The idea that limitations must be imposed on an individuals exposure to social media for their own good is a big shift.
