I've been voice coding for about 5 years now. For those of you not on windows, I use talon voice on mac (linux version is in beta). It works quite well and I'm at least as productive writing code by voice than I ever was by hand.

they are assuming the 10W is only running 10% of the time and the smart switch is running all of the time. That puts the average use for the light at 1W and 0.5W for the smart switch.

I killed a lot of time with this exact issue a couple months ago as well. Quite frustrating, and it was even worse trying to include the preemptible GPUs in a kubernetes cluster. It would often take so long to add the GPU to the cluster tha

Thanks for answering my honest questions. I didn't realize GDP accounts for perceived value. I had assumed it was restricted to the economic value strictly defined by the dollar. Thanks.

I like your idea. Others have also successfully experimented with a more manual version of planting trees, bushes, etc. Many die early on, but the ones that survive help bind the sand, collect dew and create shade for the next generation. W

You mean because with cheaper widgets, demand would increase and so monetary value of finished goods and would rise and so GDP as well? Wouldn't GDP actually decrease if the same number of widgets are made, but now for cheaper and so t

That's actually a good extreme showing the difference. Tracking literally everyone all the time would require a huge number of police if done manually. And with that many police, you'd need police to track the police because they

I agree, though I think the important comparison point is not necessarily inflation rate, but wage growth rate or similar.

I agree. The comment I was responding to said they had to raise prices to combat overcrowding. I was specific in saying that if that were truly their goal, there are other ways to achieve it, and that there are other reasons to raise prices

There are other ways to allocate scare resources than giving it to the highest bidder (disproportionately the wealthy). Lotteries, first in line, etc. There are other reasons they may be incentivized to use higher prices as the mechanism to

Of course antibiotics and other things have improved since 100 years ago, nobody is arguing otherwise. The argument is that right now we could have cheap antibiotics and less working hours. The counter argument was that the average person c

yeah, and if you are lucky, you'll only have to work 40 hours a week for 50 years to acquire them.

I disagree. Try to actually settle down (without winning the startup/rich parents/literal lottery first) and see how it goes. If you haven't raised a nice safety fund and you get sick, you are screwed. If you dont want to liv

Wouldnt that same argument apply to people fighting for democracy in the age of monarchy? Why try to get rid of the king when he will just be replaced by a president? Dont even bother. Obviously power structures and concentration of power a

I agree. I wonder though how these kinds of funding decisions could be made without too much money just funneled to friends of the reviewers pet projects. Its not like you can just put out a bid for cheap fusion and award the lowest bidder.

I wonder if this could work in places with no ocean nearby just using rain water and rain water with added salt. Would you need an obscene amount of new salt/rain water?

How do you measure quality of life though? People say this kind of thing all the time "the poor are better off now than rich of the past". My guess is that most poor of today would switch places with the rich of the past in a hear

I agree with your first sentence, but I'm having a hard time with the implied reasoning in the second. Could you expand your logic a bit further?

Do you have any references on the actual speed of reabsorption? I tried to find some, but didn't have much luck. I've heard numbers as high as 200 years to absorb all of it, but I don't know how "all" was defined fo

Actually, they did a good job of asking the question without posing speculation as truth or quoting pseudoscience. They ask the question, talk about the history of how people have answered in the past, and show what kind of current research

Cool thanks. One interesting thing I noticed as a midwest town dweller, is that while my zip code rates quite low in population density (up there with houston) it's actually in the green as far as carbon goes. It seems that this is tru

Do you have any sources? I've found one article, but it was actually arguing that the difference isn't actually that large. Would be open to more recent and other studies thoug. https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/

Sure, but the comparison is also gas cars vs electric cars + green grid, not just electric cars + green grid vs electric cars + gas/nuclear/hydro grid.

While I do agree there are differences between urban and rural voters, this analysis is still ignorant of quite a bit of subtlety due to the simplistic red vs blue framing. The article does try to address this slightly, but they fail to exp

We have a ban on billboards in our town in Indiana of all places, its definitely possible. It is nice as well, I always forget how annoying they are until I travel to other cities.
