It can do the first example on that page at least.
It calls them derived columns and you can use python to combine and process other columns.

I know the "fire in a crowded theatre" thing is misunderstood but "Those people in that corner over there are about to set fire to this theatre and kill you and your family if we don't fight, fight, fight to stop them" is a direct call for violence even if spread over an hour long ramble.
If you were running a private equity robotaxi firm and your bonus relied on 1% more rides wouldn't you be dialing up the aggressive driving? Repeat for a few quarters and the robot will be cutting the same corners that the human is forced to.
Some future Fight Club reboot will reference your ChatGPT logs that show you asked how much the corporation would need to pay to the people killed in crashes vs increased profit to find the profit maximising level of dangerous driving.
Last time I checked India was still ramping up it's coal plants during the day to meet demand during sunlight hours.
Presumably this development means they reached a point when they run consistently, which is more efficient even before you account for the peak demand being replaced by solar.
Different (voice) actors playing the role maybe fall into the second section of the article, but in the book at least there's a specific attempt to address this with a third way.
The decision really comes down to what is slightly more or less expensive and it's more than possible to adjust as we go as things develop.
And of course the conclusion from the experts was a renewables grid was the way to go and we've seen price declines and technology advancements since then making it an even better choice.
Is this an attempt to build support for further extending that plan?
edit: I just looked up his response to that at the time:
https://www.cato-unbound.org/2009/05/01/peter-thiel/suffrage...
> In America, people are imprisoned for using even very mild drugs, tortured by our own government, and forced to bail out reckless financial companies.
> I believe that politics is way too intense. That’s why I’m a libertarian. Politics gets people angry, destroys relationships, and polarizes peoples’ vision: the world is us versus them; good people versus the other. Politics is about interfering with other people’s lives without their consent. That’s probably why, in the past, libertarians have made little progress in the political sphere. Thus, I advocate focusing energy elsewhere, onto peaceful projects that some consider utopian.
I bet their take on renewables is objective and factual and well worth considering over actual domain experts.
edit: it was worse than I thought. Embarrassing really.
Ironically this is something I see in media a lot and dislike. Things like "80% of people think country going in the wrong direction".
Well while you're polling them, ask which direction is correct. Because 40% wanting less Trump bullshit and 40% wanting more Trump bullshit is totally different than letting your average reader assume 80% agree with their own assesment of what's wrong.
I want people to have strongly negative views on Fox News and the even worse variants of that kind of propaganda.
So it's a perfect example of, assuming they're not knowingly lying, focusing on random noise in the signal to generate misleading stories
I thought I'd read that they planned to expand the scheme to non solar homes to fit in with the ethos of the new "benefits of solar for people without solar" messaging of the proposal under discussion here.
But I checked my supposed source and it was just someone suggesting that it would be consistent and useful if they did make that change.

> From September 24, 2023 to August 31, 2024, five MTA bus routes — Bx18A/B, B60, M116, Q4, and S46/96 — were fare-free. Passengers on these routes were able to ride without paying the fare.
> The purpose of the pilot was to study how fare-free service affects ridership, access, equity, and fare evasion. It was made possible thanks to funding from the New York State FY2024 budge
As solar efficiency goes up, and prices of solar and batteries come down and make local installation easier, an already audacious project seems less and less likely to complete.
I think they're pivoting the giant solar farms they were building for this to AI or green hydrogen now.
It rolled this out in 1953:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zellweger_off-peak
It let coal plants run more efficiently and people could heat their water overnight.
Somewhat bafflingly they seem to have somewhat failed this same task with the solar rollout.
Presumably 21st century capitalism got in the way of the mid 20th century engineering.
China's numbers did rise quickly on that measure and is above the EU now I think but still way below the US.
And if you don't like per capita, then China with 4x as many people is still behind the US when you compare cumulative CO2.
Could you quickly summarize how and why you felt let down by the media in regards to COVID?
> In terms of waste management, 85.3% of distributors reported that they had a waste management strategy. Mostly, this tended to involve collecting broken products, harvesting them for spare parts and then storing the remainder in a central warehouse before sending them to a (usually certified) local e-waste recycling facility. How effective these recycling facilities are, however, was beyond the scope of this report.
They seem to suggest that lithium batteries are the hardest to repair and recycle, but people want to do so. It feels like a problem that will get easier at scale.
Trucks and busses remain with the parent Volvo AB.
Are they paying enough of a premium for the grid to build a nuclear power plants worth of replacement supply to fill that gap and to reduce prices for others?
Or did they not test the "putting some powder into the prewash" thing and so it was just "powder released all at once" vs "tablet released all at once".
Even there I'd expect some mild improvement from the powder mixing more easily than a plastic wrapped tablet (though maybe if the content inside is liquid this factor is reversed?).
Does this mean the big corps do have some chemical advantage that cancels out the crappy delivery mechanism?
Or does it mean that a mechanical spray prewash step isn't meaningfully improved by chemicals in most circumstances?
I was more alarmed by the wrappers being plastic. I had assumed they were some clever biodegradable thing but they're not.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murc%27s_law
> Murc’s Law is typically phrased as: "the widespread assumption that only Democrats have any agency or causal influence over American politics".[5] [6] It reflects a perceived journalistic double standard, where Democrats are held responsible for political outcomes regardless of context, whereas Republican obstruction or extremism is treated as a given. This framing, critics argue, absolves Republicans of responsibility and creates an unbalanced political narrative.
> “I think we have to ask ourselves that … I think a lot of people who defend the carceral state, that defend the idea of it and the way it makes them feel, they’re not defending the reality of it and the practices that are part and parcel of it,” he continued.
> “Because if you actually break it down … how many people come out the prison system better than they went into the prison system?”
From the New York Post so presumably this is the worst they could find on the topic.
And the Republicans on the Supreme Court that hobbled what the Democrats managed to narrowly get through the political process.
But sure, direct all the anger for that towards Democrats, that will result in better Healthcare any day now. I hear Trump has concepts of a plan that he's been working on for over a decade that he'll let us know about in just 2 weeks.
I think she's right about everything, but they could easily have got a bunch of gray haired older men with finance backgrounds like Kingsmill Bond to put this message across to their readers as a basic economic fact rather than a moral imperstive with a far different emotional impact on the kind of person who is skeptical on this topic.
