> There are clearly good reasons for people to want extremely powerful e-bikes and they should be allowed to.

They are called motorcycles. At > 4kw they are that (here). So either you get them registered a such, get a license and insure them, or downgrade them to under 4kw, get a license and insure them as a moped, or downgrade them to 2kw and pedal assist only and register them as a pedelec. All other options is 250w continuous (you can get away with about 500w peak) and pedal assist only.

You are also not insured if you drive an illegal bike on the road.

"Just finished a long AI5 design review with the Tesla California and Texas chip engineers. It’s going to be great. And AI6 and AI7 will follow in fast succession. AI8 will be out of this world."

At this point, we can assume he's just trolling, but looking at the stock price some doubts would be warranted.

In any case, they know perfectly well that real FSD is impossible on their current (V4) hardware, and already admitted that the version they sold millions of (V3) will never be capable to run even their current models. So much for 'every Tesla produced from now on have all the hardware needed for FSD' - since 2016. A quick reminder from almost 10 YEARS AGO:

Email: rodrigo.heck@toptal.com

Lately, I’ve been exploring graph-based knowledge representations as a method for information compression and long-term memory permanence in AI systems — developing pipelines that integrate LLMs with structured memory to retain and generalize knowledge efficiently.

My background bridges applied machine learning and software engineering, from building text-to-speech systems and semantic retrieval tools to experimenting with persistent, graph-oriented architectures for reasoning and recall. I’m looking for opportunities at the intersection of AI systems engineering, knowledge representation, and scalable memory architectures.

I’ll play devil’s advocate. The beings that made our VMs are clearly superior. But the Halting theorem applies to them too. They too represent floating point numbers with finite precision. Does that mean we can catch them violating conservation laws? Maybe.

In any case, here’s some food for thought: ray tracing is undecidable [1]. If something is undecidable, it is for any form of computation, classical, quantum, or anything. Does this mean we can find some “glitches in the matrix”. It simply means such glitches are there (if we are in a similation). But they might be too infinitesimal for us to identify.

One idea is to give him a special feature to build that you make up, that's neither critical to operations nor interfering much with everything else that you guys are doing.

Make it something big. Something where he might get a team of his own, eventually maybe. He'll feel important and will go and work on that thing for months that noone actually gives a shit about, and let everyone else in peace.

Like for instance, if your main product is a website, convince your manager that you need to develop the same website but as a native app, and that this guy should be doing it. Hopefully that never makes it to production.

I think the logic is the following:

* Datastar was re-written from the ground up, numerous times.

* They didn't want to update and maintain the plugins that they viewed as unnecessary/anti-patterns

* People wanted them still, so they said "fine, pay us to port it". Or, do it yourself - the MIT code is sitting right there and the changes are not all that significant. You'd also learn more about D* while at it. I linked in the parent comment to the MIT code - would not be difficult for anyone to do.

I suspect that in the long-run (probably not too far from now), they'll just make those plugins MIT again as the real value of Pro is the inspector, and soon their WIP web component framework (Rocket) and css framework (stellar) - all of which have always been being a commercial license.

p.s. there's no techcorp here. Its literally 3 guys with day jobs donating their time to a 501c3-registered non-profit. Funds go to things like going to conferences, or holding their own.

You are slightly wrong.

Python does allow you to put anything in annotations. ( pep 3107 that defines type annotations says that explicitly [1]).

But it also defines a type checking annotations, which is a specific convention for using pep 3107 annotations. Type annotations were introduced in PEP 484 and updated in a lot of subsequent peps. The python typing system is fully specified in [3].

It does have several implementations, although the reference implementation is mypy

> How can he just shut down the department of Education without congress? Because Carter created it by executive order without congress.

You are 100% incorrect.

> The Department of Education Organization Act is a United States federal law enacted in 1979, which created the Department of Education.

> In the Senate, 69 voted in favor and 22 voted against separating education from the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.[3] In the House of Representatives, 215 voted in favor and 201 voted against.[4] President Carter signed the bill on October 17, 1979.[1]

Show HN: Secret Management for Local Development
by athish-rao | 2025-11-03 21:40:55+00:00
Hi HN,

I built a local secret management tool with Git-like workflows after almost committing production credentials one too many times.

Most secret management solutions are either: - Cloud-based (overkill for local dev) - GUI-heavy password managers (not dev-friendly) - Enterprise tools requiring infrastructure (Vault, etc.)

This is intentionally simple: version-controlled secrets with familiar Git semantics, running entirely on your machine.

Features: - Offline-first - Simple CLI - Encrypted storage - No cloud dependencies - Python API

Repo: https://github.com/athishrao/crux-vault

Happy to answer questions about the architecture, encryption approach, or why I thought building this at 2 AM was a good idea.

The type 55 "deltic" locomotives, named after army regiments used to do the east coast Edinburgh-London train run, there were 22 of them in service and one in the science museum London. They had the first 100mph rating for diesel passenger service.

The engine had a unique characteristic whine or whistle. As an avid train spotter at Waverley station in edinburgh I loved hearing it, saw every one and was in the cab of two thanks to long suffering kind engine drivers.

There was a mini deltic too. I'm not sure it went beyond a testbed loco.

I rather suggest Win 11 LTSC. The Windows 11 IoT Enterprise 2024 LTSC supposedly:

- doesn't have the tpm requirement

- no copilot, recall, edge browser, ms store

- allows local setup

- no feature updates, only security

- built-in options to disable telemetry

Keys go for $300 in some stores, or, one can use an activation emulator, or massgrave.

Scripts can be good for one-time use, but it's swimming against the current. As soon as you stop swimming, the current wins. With the LTSC, you don't swim against the current, but rather choose a different current. In its case, it's MS themselves who provide the debloating.

"Dixie can't meaningfully grow as a person. All that he ever will be is burned onto that cart;"

It's not that Dixie can't meaningful grow -- really the issue is that Dixie can be reset. If Dixie's cart simply degraded after 90 years, and you couldn't reset it, but everything else was the same -- would you then say Dixie could grow as a person? As humans we basically have a 90 year cart that once it no longer works, we're done. There is no reset. But we don't continue growing. You can't transfer us to a new body/brain. Once our temporary storage degrades, we cease to exist. Is that what makes us human?

The problem with this etymology based political argument is twofold:

demos in Ancient Greek demokratia were blocks of assigned citizenship, so it is operationally closer to an electoral college than some idealistic "power to the people" interpretation of the term

who are the people? in Ancient Athens, "the people" ruling the demokratia were the male land owners... about 60% of the people in the city were excluded, most of them being slaves

Democracy now is a hugely complex ongoing negotiation, not some simplistic "dictionary says" naïvité. Go read Democracy in America, Aristotle is a bit outdated.
by Forgeties79 | 2025-11-03 21:43:02+00:00
He’s hard to pin down tbh but I’d say he’s a bit more akin to a black pilled 4chan troll than a “illiberal-left” (never heard that before so I think I know what you mean…?) or Marxist or even a traditional democrat. You may as well say “video games did it” if we’re going down this path.

Simply put: He’s complicated. Any attempt to slot him neatly as “left” or “right” is pointless. You are at least showing a little more nuance with this but my experience has been people are basically trying to boil this down to “your team did it, not my team.”

The politicians who pushed that he was [insert whatever] are not remotely equipped to understand a person like him.

Consider the river metaphor: water carves the banks, banks channel the water. At any moment water and banks have the same shape.

Model/algorithm is the banks. Water could be the experiences. Maybe the algorithm does not have consciousness, but it is part of it.

They co-create each other. They are part of a recursive loop which cannot be explained statically, or part by part in isolation.

Yep. But with a slight warning though, it's a lot of pages. Even by Neal Stephenson's standards, it's a lot. Not everybody has the attention span for this one. It's a very dense plot, with lots of side plots, asides, etc. (which is kind of the whole point of Neal Stephenson's books) that spreads over 9 books that originally were published in 3 volumes of ~1200 pages each depending on font size and edition you would have gotten. I've worked my way through that more times than I'd like to admit because it's enjoyable to re-read. Most recently earlier this year. It usually takes me 1-2 months at least.

Actually, it's already been done by the former Nextcloud fork/predecessor. OwnCloud shared a big percentage of the Nextcloud codebase, but they decided to rewrite everything under the name OCIS (OwnCloud Infinite Scale) a couple of years ago. Recently, OwnCloud got acquired by Kiteworks and it seemed like they got in a fight with most of the staff. So big parts of the team left to start "OpenCloud", which is a fork of OCIS and is now a great competitor to Nextcloud. It's much more stable and uses less resources, but it also does a lot less than Nextcloud (namely only File sharing so far. No Apps, no Groupware.)

From wikipedia:

>The style of buildings originated with the work of architect Tim Smith in Los Angeles, who took advantage of a change in construction code allowing the use of fire-retardant treated wood (FRTW) to construct buildings up to five stories.[5][7] From this he saw that what became the "Five-Over-One" model would bring the construction costs down substantially, making a 100-unit affordable housing project financially viable.

I have not seen any numbers showing that living in these types of buildings poses any additional risk, and it has been at least a decade since many of them have been built, so I presume it would be evident by now.

I do not have any polyvinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropene (PVDF-HFP) but I wonder if there is a similar DIY option. It sounds like it uses little bubbles in the paint to reflect the sunlight. I would really like something like this here in Texas. It is getting dryer and I worry about our well.

Peltier cooling system double as a heat generator, neat, I would swap the steam and UV sterilization for water/steam.

1) that's a very good insight. and that was my original plan to compare net worth with the entire country. but as i do more research, the net worth distribution is wildly distorted from age group to age group. for instance, the median net worth for age under 35 is about $39k, but for age group 35-44 the median net worth jumps to $135k, that's almost 4 times larger in span of 10 years.

2) i think that's my next step if there are interests showing for user wanting to know where they at compare to their peer, my main blocker for this feature is personal data sharing, some user might not like to share too much information regarding their finance. So we will see how this goes.

thank you for your input, these are very great questions touch on the core concept of the app.

As the other poster mentioned, they're not even on the same planet as the current power density of the combined engine + fuel in an aircraft.

There are two things you are missing in these examples:

1. The motor won't scale down to a 2lbs and a few hundred watts. That's just not how it works.

2. The weight of the battery pack is partially about energy density, but it is also about the ability to discharge, which takes more batteries to make up for it. Let's say you wanted one of the motors in the article giving your device a "boost" of 500hp (sure, we can scale it back, but roll with me), your battery needs to output 400kW instantaneously. If it was a 48v pack, which is 13 cells in series, they would need to deliver 8,333 amps. Most cells are rated for something like 20a, so you need to put more in series to get the voltage high enough to get that to a reasonable number. A 400v car architecture is 112 lithium cells in series for example.

This is before packaging considerations, the increase in complexity of the base system, etc. When you look at the overall system, you're just not gaining that much. Cars are actually uniquely good for hybridization and electrification.

I did not elide anything, thank you very much. I don't deny not knowing what intelligence is. I'm asserting that those, like you, who claim to know enough to ridicule the possibility of artificial minds, don't have a clue either.

I'm not the one excluding people from humanity. I'm pointing out that those who try to exclude the possibility of artificial minds keep excluding real people every time they try. Why are you projecting?

I had a procedure recently and the description in the preparation instructions said "you won't be asleep, but you might not remember everything"

I talked to the nurse about this as I was prepping for the procedure, and he said that a recent patient talked throughout the procedure, but when he got back to his room afterwards, he asked "so when will the procedure start?"

So, I think the drugs you get might let experience everything. But the "nothing in between" might actually be memory loss, not loss of consciousness.

all this stuff is spooky and philosophically tricky.
