You should watch the rest, especially the ending, there are some great quotes in there. "There's so much freedom in [suburb]. There's no shops, cafes, theaters, places to eat, schools, or even people. But uhh, that's all part of the freedom; you have the freedom to go somewhere better! like [15min city name]"

This is pretty cool. I've got a couple repos that Microsoft uses for VS Code. I switched one of them to GPLv3, but maybe I'll switch the other to this license.

I think we can agree "Good reseach" is in the how-its-done. I wish journals would chose/require/verify the how-its-done (time frame, resources, hypothesis, method etc) but after that be contractually required publish whatever conclusion is discovered by the team/project they picked and verified.

I know a good bit of micro biology, psychology, and medical trial fields can. But thats about the limit of my "other fields" knowledge.

Same (sunlight alarm clock, getting up super early to compensate, and male) but also I have a heater on a timer-socket. When its super hot and bright its hard to stay in bed.

This is such an awesome answer; exactly what I was looking for. Simple, general, and something I can actually try. Thanks for replying

I guess I should've clarified; in reforcement learning "I was wrong in numerous ways" almost always translates to "unpublishable, try to not be wrong next time". Nobody cares if a reinforcement learning hypothesis didn't work, its only worth publishing if it worked well.

This is why my field (reinforcement learning) is unfortunately not science.

(Can't really publish "hey I tried this algorithm and it didn't work")

Same haha.

I've already started it twice for lemmy, but didn't put in heavy effort yet. I've got a wrapper for nix that helps with common issues, but its on the messy side.

There are so many small GUI apps I want to make but I refuse until I can get Tauri to build an appimage and macos app within nix. It was more than a year ago since I put a lot of effort on that though. If you've got any tips/pointers or examples for tauri I'd be happy to hear them.

As someone who uses open street maps for statistics/analysis to advocate better bike infrastructure; please contribute to open street maps not google.

You can easily do exactly what you were saying; open up an existing road, add an attribute to it saying bike_friendly: true. Just login (on desktop), go to the part of the map you want to edit, click edit at the top and do the walkthrough. It should look like this

Side rant: The google maps API for analyzing data is so bad it might as well not exist. Even ignoring the painful signup process AUTH tokens, cost of usage, and crappy docs; it doesn't provide access to basically any useful information about roads. Meanwhile open street maps is so easy you don't even need an account; just run a browser command and scrape any data you want, including downloading the entire database.

I read the paper before seeing this video post. Maybe not what you're looking for but here's my TLDR takeaways from the publication:

• Infrastructure is the largest driver of carbon emissions at low-tech Urban Agriculture (UA) sites (63% of impacts)
  • A raised bed built and used for five years will have approximately four times the environmental impact per serving as a raised bed used for 20 years. The issue is, with frequent moving and development in urban environments, much of the infrastructure is gone or redone in a short timespan.
  • Climate-friendly sites in the sample cut their emissions by more than 52% by upcycling refuse from the urban environment for raised beds, structures and other infrastructure—twice as much savings as high-carbon sites
• Composing
  • Sites in the sample used 95% less synthetic nutrients than conventional farms
  • poorly managed composting can exacerbate GHGs. The carbon footprint of compost grows tenfold when methane-generating anaerobic conditions persist in compost piles.
  • We estimate that careful compost management could cut GHGs by 39.4% on sites that use small-scale composting.
• rainwater
  • In this study, more than 50 (of ~75) sites practiced rainwater recovery, but only four derived most of their irrigation this way
  • sites primarily used potable municipal water sources or groundwater wells, consistent with the underutilization of rainwater seen across past research
  • Irrigation from these sources emits GHGs from pumping, water treatment and distribution, and this rose to as high as 83% of total emissions on one UA site
• Non caloric benefits
  • UA practitioners overwhelmingly reported improved mental health, diets and social networks
  • Cost–benefit analysis of a collective garden in the UK estimated that social benefits, such as improved well-being and reduced hospital admissions, accounted for 99.4% of total economic value generated on-site
  • Because emissions allocation often follows economic value generation46, growing spaces that maximize social benefits can outcompete conventional agriculture when UA benefits are considered holistically.
  • Although UA may increase the carbon intensity of fruits and vegetables, these foods account for a small share of total dietary carbon impacts, which are driven mainly by meat and dairy. Studies have shown that UA practitioners often reduce their intake of animal products49. Future work should quantify this tradeoff between elevated carbon footprint in urban produce and shifting diets.
