There are a lot of chargers with separate charging circuits for every slot.

I've had good luck with an Opus brand charger. The one I have allows selecting charging rates (200-1400 mA), and it has an LCD that tells you voltage, rate, status, etc. It also supports some discharge/refresh/test cycle stuff, although I don't know if the practicality of that is real. (If a battery isn't performing right, I feel like it's usually a lost cause.)

Running such a checklist in Jupyter seems like a very good approach.

The big advantage is someone else can pick up from where you started.

And reporting is built in as you can save the notebook and review it later.

The only thing it lacks is control flow. A good operations script has exit points: if an operation fails, you often want to rollback and abort. Though even there, you can save state in a variable and have a check.
Key takeaways:

- Higher write throughput

- Key-prefix compression

- Long-running read transactions

Ask HN: Personal Operating System for Work?
Hey HN,
I’m working on an interesting piece of software for my Master’s thesis, basically an extensible personal assistant for work. It can do useful things like search across all your internal files, generate notes and reminders from documents, and even attempt to learn your habits to surface useful suggestions and analytics.

Would something like this be useful as an open source project or even a commercial SaaS product? Does anything like this exist in industry?
They're the best of the channels I've seen, but that's not saying much, because nothing compares to being there. For one thing, and it's not a small thing - you can experience a place without having a content creator constantly yattering away at you. Granted, not everybody has the ability or the resources to do any kind of trespassing-as-a-hobby, and it's not as if I myself have the resources to go to the same places they do, but even just going to the abandoned factory down the street is - if, again, you can do it - more worthwhile than their entire channel.
so this new Desktop app will run inside a browser? or it still uses Electron underneath? It's unclear to me after reading the post. It's certainly not a native app though.
React Native isn't a zero-effort way to port a web app to a native app. It lets you share code where it makes sense, but you're still maintaining separate applications targeting different platforms that each have their own quirks and needs. It's similar to how you can't just port a regular native desktop app by using a different compiler; your business logic may be compatible, but you'll still have to do legwork on top of it.

The amount of energy that it would take to noticeably change the Earth's orbit would dwarf any other practical engineering effort. Carbon sequestration plants would have a much higher impact on climate change.
First of all, I was talking the language, not the work. It makes sense to study AI as it does many other subjects, but we don't know that it will "have consequences that dwarf everything else" because we don't know what it will be able to do and when (we think that it could but so could, say, a supervirus, or climate change, or the return of fascism). People hang all sort of dreams on AI precisely because of that. That cult I mentioned, The Rationalists, basically imagined AI to be a god of sorts, and then you can say "wouldn't you want to build a god?" But we don't know if AI could be a god. Maybe an intelligent being that thinks faster than humans goes crazy? Of course, we don't know that, but my point is that the main reason we think so much of AI is that at this time, we don't know what it is and what it could do.

> Why would it make sense to wait?

Again, that's a separate discussion, but if we don't know what something is or when it could arrive, it may make more sense to think about things we know more about and are already here or known to be imminent. Anyway, anyone is free to work on what they like, but OpenAI does not know that they're "building artificial general intelligence."

> I think you're way too overconfident to be as sure as you are that they're not.

I don't know that they're not, but they don't know that they are, and that means they're not "building AGI."
Sublime Text is 100% a native desktop application written in C++ with the Skia graphics library [1][2].

However, only a tiny fraction of Skia’s functionality is actually used, just for rasterizing lines and blitting images. Font rendering is done by using the underlying platform APIs to do the glyph rasterisation. The editor also exposes an ABI/API that plugins can use via Python scripts. C++ provides the cross-platform functionality, Skia provides the cross-platform UI, custom code was written to target specific parts of the UI in macOS (using Cocoa) and Linux (using GTK). A tiny web driver is used to render a super-minimal set of HTML tags for tooltips.

The policy before Trump was to hold children who arrive unaccompanied at the border and find their family to reunite them with. The policy under Trump is a zero-tolerance separate all children from their parents policy. Trump HHS currently cannot account for around 6000 children they have separated. This is new. The new rules around immigration seem to be focused around overwhelming the system's capacity for processing people fairly and with proper oversight.

Obama's immigration policies were criticised by liberals (as were many other aspects of his presidency, or are we going to rewrite history to state that OWS was just a public Obama fan-club gathering?). They were even outed by left-leaning publications and subject to a documentary on PBS.

Back on the topic of the comment you shifted away from - "deporting" in US-speak means sending people to a private prison where detainees are effectively forced to work, but without even allowing the accused their fair time in court.

A few hundred years ago the deist option seemed plausible to a lot of people. (Martin Gardner, a writer I admire a lot, developed a contemporary version of a deist view.)

This view agrees with what you described up until "if so then some religion has to be true": it affirms that we have reason to believe in a creator (and in some accounts, in divine providence of various sorts) but doesn't expect a divine revelation, or doesn't endorse any claims that we've received one.

I remember that Descartes argued that the creator was logically required to be benevolent and that part of that benevolence would then entail getting in touch with humanity and letting us know something about the divine nature. But other thinkers took various other angles on this, including the idea that the divine benevolence is already complete even without revelation, or that revelation occurs in a non-public or even incommunicable way, or still other possibilities.

Atheists and deists have both been very preoccupied with the idea that different revealed religions are all extremely plausible to people who are brought up in or around them (in modern times, even different schisms of revealed religions have this characteristic). In the deist account, this might be a reason to doubt that any of them is uniquely intended by the creator to be a revelation to all humanity, since which one people believe is for almost everyone a matter of luck. (Even if one account of revelation is more compelling than others, most people will never have the social conditions to verify this for themselves.)

There are lots of theological accounts about why God might allow only some people to discover the true revelation, but a deist (and atheist) alternative is that it's also reasonable to think that that wasn't God's plan.

“Laws of Tech: Commoditize Your Complement”

https://www.gwern.net/Complement
Pron, I fully support your take here. Most AGI campaigners here clearly think that we must have already figured out a lot about how consciousness works. But is there any evidence to back that up? No, because we _haven't_ created consciousness. The most we've done is manipulate _existing_ consciousness. Sure, we can point to similarities between deep learning and the brain, and these avenues are interesting and, I think, worthwhile to explore. But false starts happen often in science (e.g. bloodletting / astrology / pick your own) and seem to occur at intersections where concrete evidence of results is inaccessible. No one can say with certainty we aren't in the middle of one now.

Like pron, I don't mean to dismiss the work any AI researcher is doing, but the industry has growing money and power and I just think people should be careful with statements like the one pointed out already and so often encountered: "if you believe AGI might be achievable any time soon, it becomes hard to work on any other problem."

Also I got best results when I did gym and running separately, say few months each at a time.

same goes for warp drives doesn't it?

The point is that people don't see how we build THAT out of these tools we currently have. We only build pastiches of intelligence today and either we have an arrogant view of the level of our own intelligence or we can't make THAT with THIS.

But maybe warp-drives, maybe world-peace too?

That’s pretty far from “when you do this, you get generalizable thought required for AGI”. The lyft equation said “this equation shows that when you do this, this object moves upward against the air”, which was the goal of flight- for AGI we have “when you do this, the loss goes down for this task”, we are missing so many pieces between that and the concept of AGI.

People think maybe the missing pieces might be in the other things we don’t understand about the brain. It makes sense- it does what we want, so the answer must be in there somehow. I agree we don’t need to perfectly understand it, it just seems like a good place to keep looking for those missing pieces.

>Do you want buffer space, or a wider seat?

Both. I want to go back to reasonable seat sizes even if costs go up because as it stands I'm choosing to fly less and less with the current seat pitch. In fact I did pay $100 out of pocket to upgrade my seat to economy plus and was lucky to snag a business row seat, or so I thought. It was in fact a miserably crowded experience.

Taipei.
Toyota moved their headquarters from LA to Dallas a couple years ago, and they retained 2/3's of their HQ employees in the move. FAANG isn't exactly the same but it's the closest example I could find of a recent large scale move from California.

If there is a point where the tech industry starts to grow less and be more stable, you'll probably see some companies trying to make the move. But right now it'd be too disruptive to potentially lose 1/3 of your HQ employees in a move and screw up any growth plans you had.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t spend too much time with Workflow before Apple acquired them.

There really needs to be a blog post about this. (I'm sure there have been, but I feel like this isn't talked about enough.) A good percentage of HN readers probably already know most of the advice about bad design, but once you're at that more experienced level, you run into the inverse problem of knowing too much for your own good and wasting cycles over-designing and over-engineering.

I've definitely been guilty of this, both at the level of high-level system/project/solution design, and at the level of code design and code abstractions. I've blown a ton of time and effort over-engineering things which never end up getting used or looked at at all years later, or even just to make things look nicer despite no one else ever using, reading, or modifying my code other than me.

It can sometimes be hard to really accept YAGNI and be able to just move on even if the code isn't quite as elegant or DRY or abstracted as you might have preferred. When you're creating abstractions upon abstractions, you can lose sight of the original goals.

I'm still learning to know when to stop, but I'm getting better.

The things you might want to do are infinite; that means that each has 0 probability of realization. If you need an extension later, you can code it later and probably do a better job than if you did it now. And if someone else adds the extension, will he notice the hooks you left?
