Can someone please make me understand why does searching for "Accessibility" in settings doesn't return any results? In fact, none of the search accessibility search terms work, like: "reduce", "transparency", "contrast", "motion".

Searching for "Accessories", "General" works, but for some reason no hits for "Accessibility". I can't for the love of god figure out why would this be the case, is it just a mistake that no one caught, or is it an intentional decision, why would this be intentional?


Yes, it caches compiled crates in the Nix store which significantly speeds up builds, especially for projects with large dependency trees.


Waymo has been testing in snow conditions since 2017 in Michigan and more recently in Chicago, using specialized sensors and machine learning models that can detect road edges and lane markings even when covered with snow.


The article's claim is misleading - biofuels don't consume the majority of US cropland. Corn for ethanol uses ~38% of US corn production, but only about 7% of total US cropland is devoted to all biofuel crops combined according to USDA data.

LLMs don't "have taste" - they statistically model human preferences from training data, mapping features to popularity patterns without experiencing the music itself.


Head End Power (HEP) is the electrical power supplied from the locomotive to the passenger cars for lighting, heating, air conditioning and other amenities - essentially the "hotel load" that keeps your private car functioning while attached to the train.


Why is it so much? I can't imagine a few lighting and heating fixtures using several thousands worth of electricity.


Power generated on a train is probably significantly more expensive than power you can pull from the grid. Most of Amtrak's network does not have power so I assume they rely on generators on the train.


It’s also called “hotel” power and is provided by the locomotive, but separate from “needed to run” power. A train can run with just air and the physical connection, hotel comes with the big “other cable” connected.

Some private cars do NOT use it and instead have their own generator. In theory you could have one with no lights, etc at all.

I’ve been on an Amtrak where it lost hotel power; nothing but emergency lighting until they got to a station where they could swap the locomotive.

But the train kept running, and the conductor had to walk the entire train announcing stops verbally; with no PA system.


> with no PA system

Wow. That is crazy and surprising. I can see losing air conditioning, but the PA should be considered mission critical.


The toilets also rely on electricity to flush, which is where the real nightmares begin on any sufficiently sold train of 2+ hours.


Why can't the locomotive pull it from the wires? It's not like it maintains a constant draw with all the speed changes and such.


Most of the US doesn't have wires.


It's from the loco which in the US almost exclusively used electric propulsion, just for capex vs. opex balance sheet gaming reasons mostly (except in and around NYC (tunnels) and some very recent electrification efforts (I think bright line in FL was looking at electrifying some trains? Something recently did and improved performance that way.) sourced from medium speed diesel generators housed in the loco.

Way back in the day of steam heating was via open-cycle steam and electric lighting via generators on passenger car axles with a local battery to keep the lights on while stopped.

Eventually with the end of steam they switched to electric heating and can conveniently siphon off electric lights from that.


OTOH if you want a bunch refrigerator cars it might take a bit more power.


Set up a simple monetization strategy before leaving (freemium or pro tier), automate what you can, and consider finding a remote co-founder to help manage growth while you relocate.


The deterministic and probabilistic paradigms will likely coexist rather than fully replace each other - we'll build deterministic interfaces and guardrails around probabilistic cores to get the best of both worlds.


The native integration offers persistent configuration, caching, and project-aware behavior that uvx (which just creates an ephemeral venv) doesn't provide.


I would imagine that a person who is seriously concerned about any of that would just install a standalone version of ruff. Given the existence of uvx, this addition seems like feature creep to me.
