> Do you have details to share, because I'd vaguely planned to equip my garage with electrical charging capability?

Where do you live? The regulations vary a lot from state to state and even city to city, as the local Bauamt or Baubehoerde usually has the last say when it comes to approval/denial of installations like this.

In the BW area there's something available like the Netze-BW initiative that does most of the mentioned regulations/paperwork for you [1].

I'm not sure whether or not RWE or EON (the energy suppliers for more Northern states of Germany) have a similar initiative, but it seems that you can get the "Wallboxes" from them as well [2]. In the larger cities like Karlsruhe, I've seen a lot of the charger stations of Innogy [3] that seem to offer installation services for parking lots and private garages as well as for businesses.

> I can assure you though that nobody is paying several hundred bucks per month for a garage or parking lot

Prices kinda exploded around the Baden-Wuerttemberg area over the last years in the "Regionalmetropolen" aka where most industries or businesses are located. Can only speak for those, though I'd imagine that a lot of the mid-larger cities have even more problems with higher densities of people/m^2.

> It implies there's some kind of a data flow model going on, but I guess it's probably mostly just wireframe examples of what it would look like if there was really a simulation going on.

I think some simulation is implemented. I clicked around a bit between all the interconnected parts and clicked all "Buy" buttons for source tanks (those with no input on the left side) and moved all sliders (Like the "Severity (Octane)" on the Catalytic Reformer) to the right. That way the "Sulfur Storage" value slowly increases. On the "Crude Unit" settings page, there's not only the crude slider on the left side, but also various yellow "Cutpoints" sliders on the right.

> For many, many repairs the Genius bar just tells you that it is not repairable even though it is.

Repairable by a random Genius bar person and repairable by Louis Rossmann are two very different things.

Yes, if you could hire enough Rossmanns cost-effectively and get them the proper equipment and training, then the Apple Stores could fix _everything_ on site.

But it's a few orders of magnitude easier to have iFixit style guides and tools for swapping whole logic boards to fix a single component. It's also WAY cheaper for Apple.
A fully autonomous drone might sound cool because they are less prone to jamming but they essentially threaten the concept of human sovereignty. Unless there is a human to supervise them and provide targeting data they shouldn't exist. The reason why the AI control problem is dangerous is that it assumes that the AI can project force beyond the ability of a human army.

Police Save Black Lives
I have been a bit concerned about the latest idea of defunding the police in the US.
Straight out its a very bad idea I will explain:
I have compared figures from South Africa (SA) and the United States(US) firstly because I live in SA and both have a history of racial conflict.
In SA there has been a defunding of the police as well as affirmative action.

https://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/murder-rate-by-country/
murders per 100,000 people.
US 5.35
SA 33.97

Police killings per 10 million people
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_killings_by_law_enforcement_officers_by_country
US 46.6
SA 76.9

The figures speak for themselves but the message is look after your police, pay them well and train them and you will save lives.
Not my point.
That would require an IQ of over 85.
Hey! Great idea. I've had a lot of fun with it. Honestly, I'm not sure how this would even work, but it might be enjoyable if it were possible to randomise the location of both parties a little more. For the first 24 hours, I was meeting people from across the globe. However, for some reason, I now match exclusively with people from Saudi Arabia who don't speak very good English. I'm assuming the website was promoted there by an 'influencer' or something. I've met a lot of lovely people living in Riyadh, but it was a lot more fun when I didn't know where the other person was...
I think that holds for all French math books. You literally have to be an expert before reading a book according to them. (I studied in France).
Unfortunately not. "The Amt Before Time" never got picked up by the BBC, and without Attenborough, it just wasn't worth it.

Having just got a new job, I'm faced with the time eternal shallow work discussions which often revolves about how bored, how demotivated, how insufferable colleague-N, why me if not them ...

I like signal, mainly because it's open source. One minor annoyance though, perhaps someone knows how to fix it: when I use Signal on either my phone or my laptop, going back to the other device makes it sync the messages. But it does this really slowly, making a notification noise for each message, sometimes for several minutes. How do you either coalesce them or just do it fast? Doesn't seem like it's really a speed issue.

There's a huge copyright issue waiting for you when you use this kind of tech outside of research.

The way how these AIs work is that they have memorized aspects of celebrity photos and then recombine them as needed. That means if your sketch looks in any way like a celebrity from the training data set, then the AI will likely reuse parts of those photos, which would make your generated texture a derived work, meaning you'd have to pay royalties to the celebrities in the dataset.
I literally can. Please don't spread misinformation when I doubt you even are a Finn.

Most EU countries I know have similar laws. Not sure why that is disgusting so. In Germany you have to identify yourself with a valid ID within 24 hours, if I remember well. Usually you have your ID in wallet anyways.

EDIT: As every resident has a primary residency address registered, this also serves as, what in the US would call it, voter registration. No purging, no tempering, not separate registration. You just get the papers by mail to your primary address. Works as well for EU residents for local elections.
It was a sincere question. It’s a model of the world they put forward. I want to know why they think it’s well estimated.
I used to play that a ton as a teenager on my Amiga 500, but it just is not as much fun on an emulator, rose tinted glasses.
The process for transferring a vehicle or registering your address is hardly more satisfying. They're all equally unreliable and complicated.
I have one question about this, I'm sure it's completely explainable and honest but it comes across as suspicious.

In the image labelled "Illustration of the model’s deep learning framework architecture", the input face has a strange line drawn underneath the chin. It seems like an odd thing for a human drawer to put in, and makes the person look like they have a double chin.

Yet in the output shown at the end of the pipeline, it appears as a shadow. I didn't go into the article suspicious, but this immediately made me wonder if for some of these sketches, a face to line drawing network was used for some sort of reverse process.

The image does appear in a part of the article discussing their learning methods, though, so I'm probably missing something important. But given that they "are working to release their code" it doesn't really help with confidence.

Even accounting for the uncertainty principle, the amount of information you can transfer in principle with a single photon is far more than one bit. For example, you can distinguish the single photon hitting a screen at more than two different times, or at more than two different places, or at more than two different energies.
Naming the product "Currents" definitely gives the impression that it is at least partially meant for discussing current events. There are so many other messaging and discussion platforms for organizations, it seems like Google is going with the "use this to discuss how our organization can take advantage of social trends" angle instead of just generalized discussion of projects. That's my impression anyway.

Regardless it also sounds like a great tool for company gossip and office politics.
I don't know what "sets" refers to here - idiomatic Clojure does no such thing (there are some facilities with the word "set" in them but they are all rarely used). seq is not leaky at all imo, it's a model that choose to use (https://clojure.org/guides/faq#seqs_vs_colls). Or you can choose not to use it now with transducers and use any of the seq functions and collect into a specific collection type. I don't know what you're talking about with protocols, typically you don't need to type hint them, and I think there may have been an issue with unqualified imports on referred functions but that was fixed several releases ago.
Have you seen the markup on car spare parts? If you want to build a normal German family sedan from just the spare parts, you'll be paying 20x the cost of a full car easily.

Not even speaking of the skullduggery the VAG consortium is doing, they use the exact same parts for a large portion of their cars, just with different serial numbers.

A widget for Premium Car costs 1000, the EXACT SAME WIDGET for Budget Car costs 100. You just need to know the magic number or have a friendly salesperson behind the counter.
I've lost track of the number of times I've had this conversation but here we go:

There's nothing inherent in phone numbers here. Both iOS and Android also allows you to add e-mail addresses (and other identifiers) to your local contacts. I'm yet to hear an argument as to why e-mail addresses or other identifiers can't be used in addition to phone numbers, or why it would be a complicating factor.
I honestly think if a product isn't going to be interpreted in one way (basic law of affordance in design) (also for the most part, some leeway allowed) - it’s A sign for faulty affordance, and an indicator to its future success.

> France, Germany etc. are charging huge payroll, income and sales taxes to fund their huge welfare states and bureaucracies, but in the process ruining their competitiveness

That's a common bashing legend that France/Germany are taxe hell and it is mainly bullshit.

I am currently live in France with salary over 100k and my effective taxe rate is under 20%.

Both France and Germany (and almost every European country) have a gazillion way of reducing legally your taxe bill if you do it right.

Currently, some of my colleagues in Switzerland, a well known taxe heaven, pay more taxe than I do.

oh don't get me started on Europeans, as a European I can guarantee you that we are as backwards in many ways even more so. there are many progressive elements among US culture but it's not what this article reminds me of (even more skurille that it's posted on HN since it has no value in psychology or philosophy). your comment is whataboutism but I can understand why it may offend (although offense wasn't my intention) I too prefer to be critced by my own tribe rather than an outsider. which is only human. but then it's also false because an immigrant to Europe (or somebody who has never been there) might make better conclusions about my country than those who are in the thick of it.

> Top questions about Currents

Really? There are already questions and they are this lame? I seriously doubt it. And of course it's 3 questions so it can fit that un-creative 3 column marketing site format.

To be fair, it's just a FAQ under a different name. FAQ aren't really questions that people ask, it's just a company being too lazy to come up with real documentation.

It's not like anyone has been burned by a Google product that is a name of something that occurs in the ocean before either.
I was thinking yesterday about how even if you don't agree with someones way of thinking, it can still be useful to understand it. People might use different words, and structure their explanations in different ways, but they responding to and trying to rationalize their experience of the same underlying wetware. looking at the way other people try to explain human nature can help reveal things about the experience of being human.
There wouldn't be any $5 digital thermometers or $200 55" TVs after that.

Producing and storing spare parts for a widget that costs less than a Starbucks coffee will never be feasible. Neither is storing an unknown quantity of said widget in a warehouse somewhere for 10 years to provide people with replacements.

Also, making things serviceable is hard and requires planning and forethought on component placement etc. This incurs even more costs.

If you read Rich's paper, there's a section where it says:

> maps were built behind several abstractions. Thus, maps can start with a representation optimized for small maps and switch to a representation optimized for large collections if and when they ‘grow’ beyond a certain size.

Which is pretty cool, because basically the Clojure version of your code abstracts over alist-hash-table and alist, and the most optimal type of concrete map will automatically be created based on the size of the map you are asking to create.

Your comment doesn't offend, it's simply ignorant and wrong.
Clojurians slack is honestly one of the most welcoming and understanding programming communities I've had the pleasure of joining. I frequently ask stupid questions and will occasionally have library maintainers take their time to fill my gaps in understanding. The tooling complaint is valid, but it has been getting better every year. There are plenty of good books for Clojure too, like Brave & True that help you understand the documentation.
With the exception of desktop app, I agree :).

The desktop app takes several minutes to open (at least on Linux), so I find that the only way to use it is to start it at boot and always leave it open. I'm still hoping that someone may create other clients, e.g. a Pidgin backend.

The mobile apps, on the other hand, work really well. Been using them for years now, both on Android and iOS.
I couldn’t find what Obsidian is, do you mind to provide some links?
I went down the rabbit hole mostly as an ideological thing. Everything I do with a computer that isn't video or shopping (so anything that has anything to do with being productive) is centered around the idea of navigating, reading and/or manipulating text.

Most tools today seem to try their best to destroy that experience. Emacs does not. My main gripe is that Emacs isn't enough of an operating system. I don't like having to leave. The thought of an expanded Emacs with a unified GUI centered around text is for me almost a wet dream.

You're glossing over the advantages specific to cryo-EM though, which is it can give you a good picture of large ensembles of small things at this accuracy, with a lot less computational/interpretation hardship than X-ray crystallography or NMR. So for seeing structures of large protein complexes and how the super structure varies with heteromeric variation this is a really big deal. If you wanted to see what viral capsids in-situ looked like down to the atoms this is what you'd use. There are a lot of places this is going to be useful, there is no one method to rule them all in structural proteomics simply because nothing can offer all of the spatial and temporal scales one might need. Plus cryo would only give you the surface hull of these complexes, you'd still need a different method to fill in all the exact structures inside. Writing up these methods as if there is some competition for "best" is an entirely false impression to a lay person reading. The best is all methods improve and researchers collaborate to provide every possible scoped view. Even mass spectrometry is doing crazy things for investigating the structure of disordered proteins. You'd never use that for something you would use cryo-EM for.
The current needed to charge an EV is far higher than what a parking meter was wired for.

Privately run charging stations on public sidewalks are few and pricey and most of the time sitting empty.

So it's clear that if you want a mass switch to EVs the government will need to subsidize the infrastructure to make EV charging affordable. However, digging up the sidewalks of a whole city with public funds to cable it for EV charging is the last thing taxpayers want to hear even in green Austria since it's seen as a something that will only benefit the top % that can afford EVs and they already have charging stations at their houses.

So we're back to square one.
