They are many different workarounds but it’s a known pain point.

So yes there are mitigations but it still is a major cause of concern I think

You can use this to improve the efficiency of a regular solar panel and as a way to still produce electricity when there is less direct light but enough temperature difference.

Some parts get very hot, and any electricity produced without engine or fuel add to range / efficiency.

But to be fair, you have to consider your « aside », because nuclear has the tremendous advantage of working when it’s cloudy, dark and you need the energy the most in the winter.

I do not think that we can just compare the prices, or maybe we should also add the cost of storage (that is going down too) for solar.

But currently a mix is probably the pragmatic approach.

The ergonomics for this use case are better than in any language I ever used.

How would you configure a cluster? I’m trying to explore lightweight alternatives to kubernetes, such as docker swarm, but I think that the options are limited if you must support clusters with equivalent of pods and services at least.

It’s very efficient to delegate something to one major actor but we are introducing single points of failure and are less resilient to vulnerabilities.

Critical systems should have defenses in depth, decentralized architectures and avoid trusting new providers with too many moving parts.

I personally think that a key fact that is driving adoption, is that from the very beginning they used a web app instead of going native with a heavy desktop app.

Thanks to this, you can share designs with just a link and everyone can access it, users interact with a mockup, devs look up the styles and components.

…and everyone is learning Figma, that’s a viral adoption mechanism that is not possible with Adobe products.

Their secret sauce seems to be making a complex web app fast and snappy with webassembly and an ecosystem of plugins secured with quickjs sandboxes.

My background is a mid tone warm photo, not dark or light, icons got a white foreground that’s very hard to read against their translucent background.

The second thing I noticed, is that when I’m scrolling a webpage, icons now switch color randomly (according to the bg dominant color) and that’s distracting.

The last thing, is that my phone is getting warmer and scrolling has become less fluid, choppy. And that’s on the 16 Pro Max.

What I like the most about this design though, is that it become invisible and let you focus on what you are reading, watching.

Perfect to focus on content, but the user interface has become sometimes unreadable and when you need to interact with it, put the flashlight in a hurry, you are scanning through instead of instantly recognizing stuff. But maybe that’s just new habits to make.

Shorting is about predicting when a stock will go down.

Not that it will go down.

Because

- there is no limit to how high a stock price can go

- the market can stay irrational longer than you can remain solvent

It’s overhyped, filled with marketing language.

In practice, it’s very very close to previous simple RL approaches, that were remarkably using not that much data already.

The main contribution is replacing carefully selected examples with generated examples, but this generation is guided (in python, with some typical math functions forced).

It’s akin to replacing some manual tests with mutation testing.

Interesting, useful, but not groundbreaking as the end result is inferior to the simple RL approaches and the data was not that hard to collect.

It is an interesting approach to generalize to other domains where there might be less data available or less easy to curate

Maybe this could be used as proof of work? To stop wasting computing resources in crypto currencies and get something useful as a byproduct.
