Vibe dashing: authentically poor dash usage

Maybe I’ll take a short pause in a sentence–or show a huge range 0 — 999.

Maybe you misread? I see a claim of 32km range from 1 hour wall charging,

when the vehicle is plugged into a regular home socket, Lightyear 0 can still charge 32 kilometers of range per hour

A claim related to solar charging from the article might be the one about the sun sustaining 35km/day for two months.

I like the idea of a modular battery such as Sungrow SBR series for the ability to scale up:

https://www.acsolarwarehouse.com/news/sungrow-battery-and-hy...

Each module is 3.2kWh. Can start with a small stack of 3 modules (9.6kWh), knowing this can be trivially upgraded 2.6x later without blowing out the cost.

This is missing from the related poll that @alfiedotwtf posted[1].

WFH actually means work from heckin' anywhere!

Changing environment is good for your creativity[2]. Nature is good for your health[3].

OK so I'm starting to get rained on :)

Yep nothing to see here, this commentary was maybe notable for the iPhone 4 -> 4s. I went from iPhone 5s to iPhone X and even that jump felt like slightly improving on a good thing. This next jump will be the same again. The incremental improvements do accumulate nicely over 5-7 years between upgrading.

Apple may be more on the pulse for consumers hopes and dreams than NYT when considering what they are incrementally improving. The iPhone 13 camera being the best yet for low-light photography does matter to this non-professional.

The Queensland experiment: how 70 days of lockdown led to 448 days of paradise

The Telegraph's title glosses over other factors, so hey: This one ^ does too!

I am relieved by my region's luck and the collective will to move the goalpost of success to be 'limiting the number of people dying of COVID'. It has been basically normal life domestically besides scattered lockdowns for 5 million people, without losing parents, grandparents; 1 death per M here compared to Sweden's 1425, USA's 1895.

National vaccination rate is lagging, on track to be sufficient in October, when the national modelling (Doherty) shows we will be sweet to test, trace, isolate, quarantine our way to control/suppression without need for further lockdown ad infinium. Just one precarious month in the way...

Here's a link to NEM mix this week in case anyone else is interested:

https://opennem.org.au/energy/nem/?range=7d&interval=30m

Maybe power from further away could help toward replacing the base power. A little more sunlight for the east coast peak. Less chance of a cloud or a still day on the east coast causing an issue like Callide coal exploding the other day. Yeah it is a stretch (literally thousands of kilometres).

If we're being ambitious, I'm excited about off-shore wind. If end game for NEM is 2/3 wind and 1/3 solar (with storage/hydro/gas in single-digit percentages filling the gaps) there are many inevitable projects and growing pains to come.

> Herd immunity has been well-documented in the Brazilian city of Manaus, where researchers in the Lancet reported the prevalence of prior Covid-19 infection to be 76%, resulting in a significant slowing of the infection.

What, the linked study proves the opposite. A massive amount of death in Manaus in 2021, despite 'herd immunity' measured in October 2020. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

> Some medical experts privately agreed with my prediction that there may be very little Covid-19 by April but suggested that I not to talk publicly about herd immunity because people might become complacent and fail to take precautions or might decline the vaccine. But scientists shouldn’t try to manipulate the public by hiding the truth.

Does he hear himself? You can't really liken wild guesses that lead to complacency/death as hiding the truth. It sounds like this guy should really stick to surgery.

Let me help you detox that:

> An interpreter with a JIT is faster than one without. Especially when dealing with CPU bound work. Would be interesting to compare to pypy.

Sure, here is pypy:

  > pypy3 main.py
  282 ms

  > node main.js
  105 ms

Without JIT:

  > python3 main.py
  2818 ms

  > node --jitless main.js
  998 ms

For fun:

  > cargo run --release -q
  20 ms

I enjoy brrrrrm's post for its brevity and the acknowledgement of common folk tools.

Being incentivised to continue on with my 2012 retina MacBook Pro has a nice side effect of getting me used to reducing my personal wastefulness. I don't think I'm missing out on much. An i7, SSD and enough RAM. It's not new, but it is snappy.

I wonder how long I will be able to continue without needless waste, just replacing the battery and clearing out the fans.
