I just had the interesting experience of upgrading a FreeBSD box from 9.x (2012) to 13.1 (2023). It had been turned off for a few years while I was off playing with industry. The process was shockingly smooth. The conf files are mostly in t

This is entirely correct. Open sourcing tensorflow was about getting the world to use Google's stuff so that that stuff became more valuable / remained valuable / was possible to hire people with experience in it, not about g

Yes. There's a ton. Most of it is horribly tainted by correlation effects. Let's consider one of the studies you cited above, which is an observational study from the VA hospitals: "In the population of US veterans, we show t

There's not, though. There's a ton of evidence that vitamin d _correlates_ with COVID outcomes, but this is vitamin d's superpower: it correlates with good outcomes for just about everything, but nearly every time there'

the only value for me is having no ads. which is, in fact, something i value, but not at the $80/month it would take to subscribe for. But it's worth sending my feed.

Some are likely to, but remember that feeding is a mutual exchange - sites that you feed to generally give you a free, no ads account. I feed both ADS-B exchange and flightaware for this reason. Although I will admit that the flight aware a

There's a protocol for multilateration of the detected jets using all of the receivers that are in range of its signal. Whil I'm sure there are ways you could attack it, it's pretty robust to the more obvious things.

I cynically wonder how much they'll start charging billionaires to hide their private jet info.

For me it was definitely COVID. I went last weekend to my first (indoor, winter) party since the pandemic started, and it was absolutely lovely. Still haven't thrown one but it makes me think I should; my 5yo got the bivalent booster i

I've been interested in this since your presentation in May; any plans to release the source any time soon? (Here's where I hope I'm asking a dumb question and you already have, but I haven't been able to find it.)

This is astoundingly great - thank you for linking! (The expected use case - generating quick plots on a remote machine; I usually just scp them back, but with this, and the new-to-me matplotlib integration, i can just have them show up in

Hindawi journals are borderline predatory and many have no real peer review. See also MDPI - don't trust a thing you see in either unless someone outside of that system has vetted it.

We had a gas-powered bmw self-immolate in the parking garage under one of my buildings at cmu. Made for a slightly exciting afternoon and the most horrible smoke I've ever smelled. Don't think they ever learned why it burned.

The 300% is closer to an average. When it's over 40F you'll reach over 400% efficiency. Now a question to address is whether your radiant heat is actually getting 95% efficiency. If you have an old radiator design system that was

I've been using a little 100wh mini 12v UPS from talentcell. I own three and am happy with them. It has an important caveat though: both the USB and 12v outputs are unregulated, so the device you're feeding into must be able to ha

A heat pump is likely to have an average efficiency of near 300% - call it 250 if you want to hedge. A high efficiency condensing gas furnace gets about 95%. So on a per-watt-hour basis (equiv., BTUs), your gas must cost less than roughly 1

The GP's point is that if you do these things in conjunction with a scam, you're now ticking off more crime boxes that could increase the severity of a punishment. There are a lot of perfectly legal things that when done to commit

Sometimes it's about the journey. The original post is full of exceptional photos of crows and fun anecdotes that go way beyond the simple answer to the thread title.

I had a Titan x in my workstation to around the same time at Google (deep learning). Everything generally worked but then after about two years I ran into a disk space problem that prevented apt stuff from working. But by that point a lot m

They didn't fix known weaknesses (unencrypted urls, no auto upgrade of the key cipher) after those previous incidents. At some point one has to come to the opposite conclusion...

And if you don't pump up your tires to compensate, the lower pressure from cold temps will increase your rolling resistance. Not a 40% drop but enough to notice if you're tracking mpg.

This is actually backwards. Fusion weapons are substantially higher yield because they result in more fission, partly by preventing the fission primary from blowing itself up before it has finished. Wikipedia: "Fast fission of the tamp

Depends on if you are concerned mostly about covert access or overt access. I'd argue the former is quite a bit more serious in the case that keys can be revoked online.

That's not strictly true. At one point, my desk was next to the room that held the vault for one particular signing key. You'd have to get through the building security, through a room guarded by one access control mechanism, and
