Although in this case, iirc the argument that using renewables in isolation would be challenging came in an even later chapter

The updated version of this book is available in game format with the blessing of UK government https://my2050.energysecurity.gov.uk/?levers=111111111111111

Risking the HN hug of death here, but my own prototype of a car miles model inspired by the David's approach can be found at https://trafred.cardiff.ac.uk/

He does correct for the efficiency of both electric cars, and heat pumps in later chapters. His line of argument is "here is the current energy supply and demand - now here are ways we can increase one and reduce the other".

The wind analysis was reasonable for the time, iirc the main error there was that he failed to foresee offshore wind dropping in price so much.

In that case, estate cars would like a word with the current crop of SUVs

My regular mechanic does that. "How much to get this car working again?" [sucks through teeth...]

So many variables unmeasured. How many hours per week? What sort of job? Something the parent finds meaning and purpose in, or just a paycheck? Surely these moderate the sign of the outcome

The built-in one in ableton is fine by me

Horses for courses...

If the game in the article captures what these are about, it didn't do anything for me. Interesting to read, though.

I've enjoyed some games that have a cozy vibe while actually presenting me with puzzles to solve. Monument Valley for example.

I suspect it goes deeper than language even. We have associative memories, right? Given our learning, modelling, pigeonholing of the world along with our changing bodies, our older selves are unlikely to experience anything close enough to what our younger selves experienced to trigger that association and recall the memory.

FWIW I didn't read that as an argument against providing housing, I read it as an argument in favour of providing housing and treatment.

Yes. As the saying goes, If we knew what we were doing it wouldn't be research. Finished papers often have flaws, if you try to write something perfect you may never finish it. They're called limitations and you list them in conclusions and suggest addressing in future work.

(Experience check: I is one)

While we're here, any suggestions on what works better for writing math to a digital whiteboard? Wacom type tablet with no display, or an ipad type tablet with pen?

to correctly judge some fizzbuzz solutions (or approaches to refactoring) you would also have to be knowledgeable. Guess what I think the problem is.

this is the only time in 15 years i've wished hn had a lol react. :D

Exactly

For example, 2001 was a great movie but Clarke's worst book imo because he collaborated with Kubrick to write it for for big screen.

Not without its issues but it also prominently featured the mentats, which the recent version didn't.

> Sucrose is 50% fructose

What? They're different molecules

Hard to publish interdisciplinary stuff in scientific journals when it's usually shot down by disciplinary specialists who don't get it

I like Bayes, but I thought the "surprising" result is that double descent is supposed to prevent nns from overfitting?

Analysis of recorded audio contains the phrase "for England, James?"

I've since changed my opinion on what I said above. It sounds like they are complying in the short term to maintain their right to challenge this in the Indian courts, which actually seems like a good strategy.

I can't say I understand the rest of your comment, without more detail on which people (presumably not all 1.5 billion) are disagreeing with what coverage (presumably not all of it), etc.

It's tempting to think the better strategy is to let the current Indian government block them and see how that plays out.

This is a really good comment thread and got me thinking.

However here in the UK I'm not sure your point about virtual subsidy quite computes. Most of the free to use parking in valuable areas is street parking outside homes. Seeing as housing costs are just a big sponge that absorbs any surplus productivity, I suspect if people had to rent or buy those parking spaces to use them then you would see a corresponding drop in house prices/rents.

I don't think it's fair to consider Wal-Mart's parking free from a societal perspective. Presumably they pay for it and absorb the cost into your grocery bill.

No my op includes local roads though you're right you do have to gather the data from local authorities

I'm a bit baffled why Germany's numbers are so bad here. In the UK the government takes far more in revenue from drivers than it spends on the roads.

I'm all for this sort of experiment and wish them the best with it.

Just gonna leave this line here though:

> We’ve had to cap the number of reviewers on each article at seven, because that’s what our software can handle.

Maybe I can get an article published on 4 bit arithmetic? It'll be a significant breakthrough.

I guess I don't interpret bmacho's comment as relating to disability, just a general objection to excessive weird words a la https://xkcd.com/483/

Oh that was great. In no small part because Burgess's slang is rooted in real etymology so it's not entirely a foreign language so much as creative use of our own. Snowcrash is similar in this respect.

You seem to be suggesting that it's good writing style to make your reader struggle as if with a foreign language?
