p-values that are not in the physics ranges are ridiculous. It's a shame everyone started copying physics but decided for higher acceptance/rejection values. I was a little bit disappointed when I realized that a bunch…
What is not the case? 1-2% of total CO2 footprint? That flying a full plane is equivalent to months if not a year of driving a nontrivial distance every day? I'm not saying cars are more efficient. It's just that the…
Depends on how many. Flying airplanes is around 1-2% of our total CO2 footprint. Of course, for an individual, doing 1 intercontinental flight with a full plane is equivalent to months if not a year of driving a car to…
But there's only 3-4 DOM elements. I'm pretty sure doing this in canvas is not as trivial as this.
Given there's only a single svg element changing I'm not exactly sure you could have done it better. It might just be that the ease-out transitions for the stroke are not efficiently implemented in whatever browser…
Holocaust is a word that has its origin long before The Holocaust happened. [0] I did not call the non-human animal holocaust as The Holocaust (committed by the nazis). Here's a Jewish Holocaust survivor…
I'm pretty sure SpaceX hired the old experts that are stuck in the past. There's nothing stopping you from iterating after the experts gave you a perfect start.
About a billion cows or so annually.
Cage free is still factory farming, there's just no cages, but a huge big closed dark cage. I'm in no denial when I'm buying those eggs.
The thing is, people don't really care about animals. Especially not the kind, calm and docile ones. A holocaust is happening currently, 60 billion most docile and mostly female cows and fowls are eliminated every year.…
I'm confused that Tesla did not hire these experts. I see Munro & Associates dropping criticism, and am baffled, given so much expert knowledge available that no one hired these guys or their competition.
I think C++ compiles down to a pure functional language that is then optimized into an efficient beast. So I'm not sure that pure code is hard to optimize.
The rest of my comment explains that worrying about BTC CO2 impact is useless. People do a bunch of stuff that has magnitudes bigger CO2 footprint. Are we profiling CO2 usage? If so, what, we want to optimize the tiny…
I'm not sure. Given that he was in a relationship with a professor there, he might have got an easy pass.
Ton of CO2 is generated by christmas lights. It trumps BTC or is very close. Yes, producing a lot of cheap energy is an opportunity to use more of it. There's a bunch of stupid things people do with energy and increase…
Weird, no Animal Liberation by Peter Singer, one of the best applications of utilitarianism.
When profiling are we optimizing the fastest functions?
Heating and cooling trumps the transport sector with 30%+. Globally, stuff does skew a lot from our first worldly habits. If you do the calculations similar to those done in http://withouthotair.com/ you'd see your…
The CO2 impact of your car driving is much less than impact from heating-cooling, and probably also from your diet. Cars are efficient machines. Houses are rarely built well, especially in the US, and the production of…
There is deactivate and delete option for years now. Zuckerberg stated that they delete all of the data after user deletes their account (not deactivate).
Thing is, I do less than 1 lesson per day. Probably 3 lessons per two weeks. Meaning that I press Practice button about 100 times in that two week period. After about 40 days, I went back to go through some of the…
I still find their spaced repetition lacking. I never see some of the words again after seeing them for the first time.
I'm pretty sure taxing by calorie density would make things better. There's no cost in doing that, it would just shift people to eat less calorie dense food like fruits, vegetables and leafy greens. The main problem is…
For a country that is so weighed down by the health issues around obesity, it's quite weird taxes/incentives based on calorie per gram isn't anywhere in sight. The savings from not having to take care of so much sick…
You can use the same trick to make your models sparse. Less parameters means less flexibility to interpret output "correctly".
