>Trains are just so expensive. UK it is unreal

Yet still jam packed with people

Raspberry shake is ok for seeing if there was a quake, but there are in fact several improvements I've wanted to make if I had the time.

Starting with adding a long range wireless or cellular connection so it can be away from human activity, also I've wanted to improve the timestamp accuracy to well beyond +-10ms and I'm pretty sure it can be done with a tcxo and a GPS receiver.

I also think an actual raspberry pi isn't strictly needed and so the power consumption can be reduced a bit by sticking to microcontrollers

> I would tend to trust an Arduino more than an ESP in critical infrastructure.

Arduino has always come across to me as being for hobbyist/beginner/learning, and critical infra would use things more like, for example, STMicro or Texas Instruments microcontrollers

The uk grid is not synchronized with the european grid, it is just HVDC interconnected.

You are right about the european grid, it is synchronized

I always enjoy seeing the university I went to pop up on hackernews

Complaining that fire safety is bad for the economy. Wow, now that's a take I don't think you'll see in many places other than hackernews

>If they don't employ writers, then who is going to be writing the magazine?

Well there is always chatGPT

Levels above 1000ppm are shown to cause cognitive impairment. 3000ppm is absolutely harmful.

>our lungs are constantly dealing with much higher concentrations

After gas exchange. Not with inhaled air.

Just wanted to say, as someone who works in the industry, wind FPNs are sometimes incorrect.

Grid have access to "power available" signals, but this is not public data.

Sheffield solar are your guys. Maybe the best publicly available one.

So, as someone who works in the energy industry, what is "base load generation" to you?

It is an "always on" source?

Why does a particular fuel type need to be always on?

I've heard that some species of crab get dazzled by the magnetic field around DC cables

Well surely conifer forests will be fine as they are wind pollinated

> we aren't supposed to question or otherwise so much as discuss something if it goes against or strays from any established narratives

I guesss you are referring to vaccine scepticism.

Comparing anti-vaxxers to galileo is ridiculous.

Won't bot/troll farms just buy "verified human" accounts?

I've set my own schedule with nest, and it still reset it to its own weird (and far too warm) schedule

Mysql 8 is turing complete with the recursive common table expressions

This kind of comment pops up every time and to be honest, seems like propaganda.

It completely omits the fact that companies extract fossil fuels, factories run and ships ship to supply consumer demand.

The fast fashion industry is a fairly large emitter, all because people want new outfits every week. Same goes for animal agriculture.

So yeah, it is absolutely personal lifestyle choices driving emissions

>the overwhelming majority will not be lithium

I'm seriously hoping that aluminium-chalcogen batteries [https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04983-9] can be scaled and commercialized soon

The UK already has 4 pumped storage plants

I beg to differ. I think in 3 decades the climate in England will be atlantic storm after storm after storm, year round. Basically totally miserable. Occasionally a spanish plume will find it's way to England and kill off vulnerable pensioners. Your prickly pears will just get drowned by the constant deluge of water and floods, your cantaloupes will get infected with humidity loving fungus.

Condemning this is an easy virtue signal to boost their reputation.

If some new startup wanted to use AI to identify women getting abortions and offered good money, I reckon that a lot of the signatories here would be sell-outs and offer their expertise.

I don't recall a letter like this in the wake of aggregateiq using ML to interfere in elections or clearview conducting intrusive facial recognition

Cardiff central station has a platform 0

>I wonder how denialists will react to this

Claim it's all made up by Adrian Zenz and the BBC and the uighurs are all living happily

>And I'm curious how China will attempt to explain this away.

Claim it's all made up by the BBC and "anti-China" forces

The presence of gibbons probably means somewhere in Malaysia or Singapore

For the accounts that are denying or excusing the xinjiang repression, see if there is a reddit account of the same/similar name, and if that account regularly makes posts in r/genzedong and r/sino. I have previously found quite a few

The main issue I've had is speed. As soon as you have problems that can't be vectorized, models that take 30 hours to run in R take 30 minutes in python.

The reason NFTs annoy me is because the majority of them seem to be stolen work, yet the people who buy them seem to believe that they now have rights to the work.

See the case of https://www.wired.co.uk/article/nft-fraud-qinni-art.

And now I see comments in this thread hoping that tech companies enforce NFTs. No thank you

The place I work at pretty much did away with it for all analysis and statistics

This is life for downhill longboarding (outside of official events with uplift buses)
