dnhz commented on World’s first octopus farm stirs ethical debate reuters.com/business/envi... · Posted by u/hhs
To me the most important questions are, does living a farm style life cause them undue distress and harm, and will they realize they are on a farm instead of just some weird octopus community.
For example, the cows I own I can keep on my land and they are perfectly content to munch grass around the different pastures throughout the year as they are rotated, and have free clean shelter in the barn and free hay in the winter. The only thing containing them is a thin strand of wire which they can (and have) easily walked through at any point in time without even trying, usually to reach an especially tall clump of weeds on the other side. For most of their life they are under basically zero stress due to protections from the environment and predators and have no desire to leave or look for more. They don't feel trapped and keeping them contained is more of a suggestion that they don't wander off and get lost. While at the end it sucks they will be distressed when loaded up in a trailer and taken down the road to the slaughterhouse, but they aren't thinking "Oh my god they are going to kill and eat me!",they are just bewildered by the wild experience of being driven down a road in a trailer, then let out in a new place with maybe some other cows around, and are instantly KOed when they are to be slaughtered.
I would have very different feelings about it if they lived in shitty life trapped in a little cage always hoping and trying to find a way out, feared humans as they came around stealing their friends away from them at random times assuming they were being eaten. And I do feel that way about, and don't buy, a lot of factory meat for the contained caged lives they experience when there are known better, healthier, more sustainable, and more ethical ways of caring for farm animals that goes back thousands of years.
Even still, your cows live a fraction of their natural lifespans. A few years as opposed to 10+
dnhz commented on AirPods don't “just work” philip.design/blog/airpod... · Posted by u/knowingathing
The most annoying thing about my AirPods Pro, which I generally like very much ... my phone starts playing music from its speakers when I take the AirPods out of my ears (and was not previously listening to music). Not all the time, but maybe 15% of the time, enough to be annoying. I have no idea what's going on. I've tried googling it, but nobody else seems to be having this problem. I've combed through settings but nothing seems applicable. I think I'm stuck with it.
I don’t have AirPods but this sometimes happens to me when I turn off my Bluetooth headphones. Usually it’s Spotify that begins playing on my computer. I agree that google searching has been unhelpful.

There is a bug for 5500M GPU that causes 18W sustained power draw with one external monitor. It should normally be 5W or so.
The throttling is due to your VRM chips overheating. There is no temp sensor for this exposed to the user.
The VRM chips have no cooling. The high GPU watt draw pushes the temps of the VRMs above their thermal limits with no cooling.
The solution is to put thermal pads on your VRMs to dissipate the heat to the backplate. Completely resolved my issue.
Disabling TurboBoost can also help. Running fans at max speed at all times too because Mac is slow to ramp them up when load increases.
Apparently the 5600M doesn’t have this issue and the 5500M bug is fixed in Monterey. But the thermal pad mod is still amazing. Apple couldn’t do it stock, because there are regulations about hot a backplate can get related to risk of burns.
Hmm so 5300m also has no issues?
I use org mode by having a single file and using it as a notebook/journal. I use todos to mark important entries.
I’m comfortable with org mode operations and formatting although I don’t know how to use drawers or properties or what’s the point of archiving. I like using org-ref, and I see a version of that has been added officially this version.
I never learned a more clever way of using org mode. Any tips or guides?

But the bar to be better than a human in this case is also wickedly low.
I basically can't do this. If it was absolutely necessary I would go out there and drive like 5 mph and be terrified the whole time, but otherwise I would just treat whatever I needed to drive to in a snowstorm at night as temporarily inaccessible. I have lived in places where it snowed in winter before.
But the use case is not the middle of the night but perhaps during evening rush hour where it gets dark after 5 PM in the winter, and a storm began in the afternoon.

I suspect it will know where the lane markings are better than human drivers. They are mapped ahead of time and the car can likely localize itself via other landmarks to determine where they are without being able to see them.
The harder part is driving like a human and detecting that a path has been made in the middle of two lanes in heavy snow and not obeying the lines at all.
The first idea seems like it would require a lot a lot of data stored in the car. Is it feasible? And even so, to be that dependent on matching up with existing pre-mapped data suggests a system that would be quite slow to roll out across a country.

> "I also really like timetables and I like the logistics of putting things together."
I enjoy that too. It's also essential if you don't have a car. I think it's a shame that Amtrak no longer has timetables for download. Maybe it's to hide the sad fact that there are only 10-15 trains per day in one direction on the northeast corridor.
We will know that "green" hydrogen is nearly feasible when they stop talking about hydrogen and just admit that ammonia, which doesn't cause embrittlement and stores energy more densely than hydrogen, is what they meant all along.
But hydrogen is the prerequisite for ammonia, and ammonia still needs cryogenic infrastructure?
That is, certain mutations in the protein that the drug imatinib inhibits enable cancer cells to be more resistant to the drug. A previous experimental study by the researchers found that these mutations increase the rate of drug unbinding from the protein. The study here describes computer simulations of the protein and explains why the mutations lead to increased dissociation kinetics. An advanced algorithm was used to sample ligand unbinding events in simulation.
