There are a lot of possible things. The question is which is the easiest to get financing for.

If you want to do that you'd probably want to use a fast SAX parser, not something that naively looks at one byte at a time.

What’s the usecase for something like this? There are lots of excellent libraries for json available. Is this a teaching tool?

If by modern you mean anything since agriculture was invented, then perhaps.

If you ask „how did people survive“ the answer is more often than not: „with great difficulty“. Take for example simple hygiene measures like using soap or brushing your teeth or disinfecting wounds.

I would love to see the math on how fast you'd need to spin the blades to lift the engine capable of spinning them. In normal operation they spin quite slowly, but due to their lengths the tips reach some ludicrous speeds.

It makes sense not to invest a lot of money into fossile infrastructure when you plan to be fossile free in about twenty years.

Berlin just uses a really big thermos can to store heat: https://group.vattenfall.com/de/newsroom/pressemitteilungen/...

LFP should be about as safe as other stuff people tend to store in their basements.

The old diet had very little meat for example. The modern diet has meals daily that would be eaten on special occasions only a few generations ago. My great grandmother for example fed her family (more than ten people!) on one pig and a cou

The Mediterranean diet is pretty much nothing like people in the Mediterranean eat today either. Very old people had a radically different diet during most of their life.

That sounds a bit sad to me. Did you miss your parents? Were your friends in a similar situation?

Norway is not in the EU but like Switzerland they copy a lot of sensible legislation.

They might be close to the limit for what they do (I don’t know), but are they close to the limit of what we need them for?

Does that matter much when you want to have a datacenter as quickly as possible? It’s not like those things will change quickly.

I’m pretty sure that in the 1880s it was less than eight miles to the nearest shop and people didn’t need to commute dozens of miles per day to get to work.

Car dominance is cemented by decades of car centric planning which made cars indispensable in some areas. That is a well known fact, but planning can be changed. If you prioritize other forms of transport in a few decades cars can be a lot

Humans make mistakes. The more complex our mathematics become, the higher the chance that mistakes creep in. If you want mathematical foundations to be solid you need to minimize the number of wrong theorems we build on.

The inputs you can process visually are of trivial size even for naive algorithms, and probably also simple instances. I certainly can’t find global minima in 2d for any even slightly adversarial function.

Subsidizing other forms of transport probably helps climate change more per dollar.

You do in fact see it as it would like to be seen. You’re just not part of the group that they are marketing to.

If you compete with someone who can afford to lose money longer than you, for example because they have some departments with very high margins and can cross-subsidize, you can win.

Your own state of mind is one of the easiest things to be fairly certain about.

The existence of external libraries is part of the point.

Do you have links to relevant research?

I’m surprised that tires can tell by which mechanism they are braked.

AFAIK cars know this and occasionally engage the friction brakes

How long does the battery last though? Engine replacements are expensive too, but usually every other part breaks before the engine.

Enforcing safe speeds a few hundred meters around a school doesn't help much for biking or walking when the rest of the infrastructure remains deadly. Placing the school there is just a bad choice if you want children to come to school
