#7 - If someone absolutely insists on a demonstration and otherwise has to "do it live" this makes you look like a god on stage - https://github.com/sloria/doitlive
Basically just schedules whatever code you want to run so when you invoke the script it will step through whatever you want to run no matter the keystroke you make. No mistakes!
The quality is most definitely suspect for how much revenue it brings it and how poorly its allocated. MTA has been full of cronyism and corruption for years and the cycle of kickbacks. Yes, its a complicated service, however you cannot deny the lack of transparency and ineptitude leaves the service in a much worse place than it currently could be. People can understand price increases when it translates to service.
Because that particular article is biased in framing the pager attacks as a "terrorist attack" while, actually, those attacks were precisely targeted at Hezbollah personnel.
Those weren't devices were personal - or civilian - use, after all.
These days, even phone-class CPUs can decode 4k video at playback rate, but they use a lot of power doing it. Not reasonable for battery-powered devices. For AC-powered devices, the problem might be heat dissipation, particularly for little streaming boxes with only passive cooling.
Agreed on Bryan Johnson. Before I actually watched a bit of his content, I just thought he had nutjob vibes and looked weird. No offense intended, if possible.
But honestly he just seems like a guy enjoying a fun project. He seems calm and happy in his videos.
Barring any hidden issues with chronic depression, it would be unlikely that he's unhappy. He's very well off financially, has a nice beautiful girlfriend who's with him in his journey, he sleeps a ton, works out, eats well and in general experiments with life.
Tire, yes. But not brakes. With an EV most of the kinetic energy is converted back to electricity thanks to regenerative braking instead of being turned into heat through friction.
Tire wear is probably a thing - although I suspect the per-wheel control allows them to better respond to slips and sudden acceleration. I've noticed test driving a Tesla that it accelerates rapidly much more smoothly with no tire slippage than a combustion car.
Brake wear is likely nulled out by regenerative braking.
The have different ICE engines. Many two stroke scooters. Emissions are way different from those tailpipes. You’re doing apples to oranges comparisons.
I was thinking this would find great application at my job (Paramedic) but then I remembered that we are always always wearing protective gloves and this would likely not work as great (if at all) when completely covered like that.
To paraphrase Harville Hendrix, we are wounded in relationship and we heal in relationship. Compassion is a feeling, not a thought. I don't think a galaxy of LLMs would ever discover the precepts of Buddhism on their own.
> over half of all new compute capacity added to AWS over the past three years has been Graviton-based. That's an amazing stat.
Yes and maybe no. They do "cheat" in that internal / managed services often use Graviton where possible. It works out cheaper without the Intel / AMD "tax".
Back in the day I worked for the makers of Yellow Dog Linux, and I think because of these scarcities we had a pretty good model of buying Apple Risc hardware at OEM prices and putting Linux on them, mostly for university scientists but also for enthusiasts. There was a lot of work keeping Linux running on hardware created by a company that was ambivalent about having alternative operating systems on its hardware, but it was fun and a great group of people to work for.
> > they'd evolve so completely that you'd become a different person anyway.
> How is that a bad thing?
The point isn't that it's bad, but that it's equivalent to dying and then someone else taking your place. So if it's OK for your character to change fundametally over the span of your life, then it must also be OK for you to die at some point and yield the stage to the next generation.
See also, all the ads for prescription medication on TV. Maybe it's just the programs I watch but it really seems like this has become the predominant advertising. Every break has an ad (or several) urging me to "ask my doctor about..."
Should be banned. Average people have no basis to know whether drug X is appropriate for them. If your doctor thinks you need it, he'll tell you.
https://instances.vantage.sh/ recently added alerts for any pricing changes on EC2, including newly launching new instances. The site rebuilds every 4 hours so it usually breaks the pricing news first. I have it on for myself and its super helpful just to see when AWS changes things.

I won't change my mind about emissions in NYC. NYC is full of modern, western cars.
Two-stroke engines are terrible, classic automobiles are terrible, cars with no emission regulations will tend to be terrible. Cars in NYC will have catalytic converters and other technologies to reduce tailpipe emissions.
A bit worse on tires because they are heavier (for comparable vehicle size, but obviously not if you compare a small EV with a ICE truck), and much better on brakes because of regenerative breaking. Overall they are better.
Basically just schedules whatever code you want to run so when you invoke the script it will step through whatever you want to run no matter the keystroke you make. No mistakes!
