Re: burial: wood vaults might be feasible. You dig a hole, and bury wood in an anaerobic environment. We're pretty good at digging landfills (or use an existing strip mined location) which is basically all this is. Then you grow more t

It's all fusion with extra steps, but your point stands.

That's not what I said, try reading my comment again. Also, based on the current rate of solar adoption, you're likely wrong about it never being the dominant form of energy generation.

What is this other than thinly veiled, generic climate change denialism? Black-swan events are by definition not something anyone can prepare for.

That was also the state of the solar power industry a few decades ago, it took time and coordination (government action) to make it the dominant, economically viable form of renewable energy it is today.

I would love to be able to run a PCC node locally on my M2 MacBook or similar for my iPhone to offload to, even if it’s only for doing what 15 Pro iPhones can do on-device. There’s precedent for this sort of thing as well, like Apple TVs or

That’s true, but they’ve made a lot of noise about “private cloud compute” to run models too large for your device. They’re making the odd decision to not offer it as a subscription for devices less than a year old. They’ve also certainly b

Cash money, probably. Apple has a lot of it.

Apple will be selling iPhone 15s for the next 3 months that won’t get the AI features they just announced. When you buy an iPhone, you generally get software updates giving you new features for a few years at least. What they did with AI is

Looking at their stock performance and the amount of work they’ve put into features that aren’t Dropbox file sync, he appears to have been right. iCloud doc syncing is what DB offered at that time.

Certainly not an advanced topic, but lesser known (compared to string or list) is probably an accurate description. This article seems like it's aimed at Python learners, rather than experienced programmers.

I'd rather not post too many details about the particular question, but it's only slightly more complex than String#split. It has multiple valid solutions, from regex matching to for/while/do&while loops to String#su

At least half the candidates I interview cannot figure out how to basically split a string. They all have years of SWE experience on their resumes.

I can tell you from experience that leaving my EV to charge in my driveway overnight is way, way more convenient than stopping for gas (and paying a lot more for it). I drive a lot, and I’ve ran into a situation only once where I had to fin

This is an earnings call, so take it with a grain of salt. There's a strong incentive to represent expenses as low as possible.

As a fellow night sweater, I got a forced air blower and special sheet that distributes the air for my bed and it’s been life changing. It took a week or so to get used to. It’s temperature and speed controlled. Check out BedJet.

Well that's interesting, I didn't realize it was so different in the EU. I suppose differences in energy prices and political willpower might explain it. In the US, the idea of a heat pump dryer is still more or less a foreign con

as far as I'm aware, there is some sort of protocol for looking at tmux state. iTerm has tmux integration, and will show tabs/splits as native (sub)windows. https://iterm2.com/documentation-tmux-integration.html

99.9% of them do not. “Tumble dryer” means resistive or gas heating unless otherwise specified.

I’m in the habit of a shower in the morning and a quick rinse shower before bed. Idk why people limit themselves to grooming only at a single point in the day.

The citation is that they use a heat pump. They’re 3-4x as efficient at heating compared to resistive heaters.

by dymk 2y ago
It uses a heat pump, so it’s certainly much more efficient than a dryer that uses gas or resistive heating element. Like, by a lot. That being said, energy prices in the US are a lot lower, so the incentive to lower energy usage isn’t there
