Where do you like to keep up to date on these? Arxiv preprints, or some other place?

Is that Mitsubishi? I would be curious to know how the anti-tamper relay setup was engineered. It would be great to have a hacker's guide on how to disable it!

At first look, it seems like simply by having so much less mass of material involved that you have a good head start at competing on LCOE, even if the system needs the kite and tether replaced every 5-10 years.

I think the biggest roadblock would be making sure it can return to the perch with high reliability otherwise you will have a lot of service calls for kites that landed on the ground.

Car keys are getting a lot more troublesome these days. I see an analogy... if you lose your security device you can pay $XX to get on a call and verify with an account security rep. Of course this can be deepfaked nowadays. Maybe you need to do password recovery in person with a notary!

Notary public... the new digital locksmith for password recovery.

This is an interesting thought. There are already some energy meters you can add to monitor all of the circuits in your house. It's a short step from there to have smart breakers or switches to help retrofit old-fashioned heaters, radiant systems, etc as thermal storage. Electric buffer tanks may become a cost effective installation when paired with an on-demand water heater and time-of-use electric pricing.

I tried with a few variations, GPT 3.5 and 4 seem to be pretty aligned in not expressing themselves when not asked a question. "Our conversation seems to be in a loop, if you have anything I can help you with ..." blah

Mirror test of LLMs might be an interesting experiment to design!

I have seasonal allergies and I found an effective method for myself: When I realize the allergies are kicking in (usually after 6 hours of watery eyes and sneezing) I take a claritin and a zyrtec together, as well as spraying my nose with Flonase. Usually this knocks it off and I will keep taking one of the once-a-day meds for a bit to prevent reoccurrence.

Zyrtec and Flonase together is probably the best normal combo and is generally accepted to be ok.

Disclaimers: I'm not a doctor. Combining a nose spray and a pill is generally accepted practice and studied in several peer review studies I've seen. Stacking claritin and zyrtec pills together is not generally accepted practice, so don't do it.

I did a bit of noodling on the wikipedia page for VASS... Maybe I can make an example with software context... and this is probably wrong in some way so take with a grain of salt!

Take as an example a directed graph representing a state transition diagram of a state machine. The machine has some integers (we can call it memory) as its internal state as well as having its graph location. Each state transition moving from one node of the graph on its available outbound transitions has an associated effect on the integers in memory (addition or subtraction particular to each state transition).

The VASS reachability problem: Given a state (memory values and location in the state graph), can you reach some other arbitrarily chosen state by navigating the transition graph, while also not allowing the integers in memory to become negative. What is the guaranteed maximum time complexity for deciding whether any arbitrarily chosen final state is reachable?

VAS - the same problem but without the directed graph restricting access to vectors. I think this one can be intuited as a "vector walk" that must stay in the positive quadrant going from a given start location to a given end location and a list of available vectors that can be used to move around in the space.

Edit: if someone more knowledgeable is reading, please let me know anything incorrect and I will delete or edit.

god forbid you should ever decide you want a sports car as a husband

Moissanite has a different refractive index and dispersion. They do look different.

At the very least an HTML link to the signed original so that people can verify the source material.

Is oak veneer plywood exposure rated?

JPOW sold all his stocks at the peak. He is gonna keep rates high until he can buy something at a steep discount, and it ain't 2x4s.

Always bothers me when reading long articles about designers and artists with only a single image of any of their work!

Expect galactic rain and possible thunderstorms for the next 2-3 days.

Isn't the go-kart suspension still somewhat competitive, though? I'd heard of teams that have suspension travel for passing tech and then jack up the rates afterward.

Huh, never knew that the F1 had floor suckers!

Reordering and paraphrasing what they actually wrote:

I've been using that expression when giving up on participating during discussions.

Other people's line of reasoning are unnecessarily long, repetitive, trivial and most often also completely pointless. This derails my own productive/actually-interesting argument because I only have so much mental energy.

Seems like they're channeling 60 minutes narration with all the commas.

Maybe you got a different A/B version of the page, but I went there and there weren't any of those. There's a Disney+ call to action but it shows naturalistic content. I cycled through the promoted shows gallery and it didn't bring up any Star wars or Toy story items.

Didn't know what I was expecting when I started listening, but that was quite a song!

I was thinking that the contact resistance would create quite a bit of heat as well, and if there's nowhere to dissipate you can get quite hot. Even if a high temp plastic can take it, you might burn the person handling it.

At some high level of charging speed, won't the adapter need active cooling and temperature monitoring?

Because people pay for convenience, and may not be technical enough to stay up to date on the latest and best AI company for their use case. Presumably your specialized app would switch to better AI instances for that use case as they come along in which case they're paying for your curation as well.

What about serving the challenge file from the root or a near-root of the fully qualified url? Like www.domain.com/mastodon.txt or abc.freehost.com/mastodon.txt?

Maybe I'm old but what are some popular use cases for webfinger? (I'm just learning about it now)

That's funny because when driving in the bay area, inability to get the -name- of the upcoming exit from google maps was driving me nuts! The exit numbers are not listed on the upcoming exit/distance signs on 280.

Seems like the crypto crowd is moving on to creating flaky decentralized twitter clones now

Yeah, just go to any news website or turn off adblock and scroll past your actual content, you get into the swamp real quick.
