I live in Cupertino, right between the two Apple campuses. The problem for me is too much shadow. For example, it says that the Apple campuses keep my house in shadow for much of the day, which I can assure you is not accurate. Other tall buildings cause the same problem.

It probably works a lot better in nature where all of the sources of shadow are natural mountains.
What I wrote can be "translated" word-by-word to an acceptable Korean passage, but if I wrote it natively, the end result would be something like:

이런("like this") 문장을(sentence) 쓰신(wrote) 걸로(thing + with/from) 볼(see) 때(time/when), 영어와(English + with) 정말로(truly) 다른(different) 언어를(language) 공부해(study) 보신("see" or try) 적이(time) 없는(not exist) 것(thing) 같네요(similar), 맞습니까(correct + question marker)?

Of course it's more or less gibberish, unless you already know, e.g., verb "see" also means "try" and "similar" means "that's my guess".
I saw and touched the sub; it was featured at a science expo in Bangkok not long after the rescue. It was a metal tube with some plexiglass plates on it with air valves mounted in them. I'm sure there was some engineering involved, but didn't seem at all impressive.

My son was a big fan of Elon, the "cool rocket guy". But after his comments about Unsworth he asked me "Why did Elon say that stuff about the man who is a hero?" My son is a Thai boy living in Thailand, close the the same age as the boys who were rescued. Sadly I had to walk back the idea that Elon was a good role model.

I thought Unsworth should have sued Elon in Thailand. It wouldn't have meant much since Elon would never travel here again. But in Thailand defamation is a criminal offense that carries jail time. And since Unsworth is a national hero there's little doubt the court would have found in his favor and Elon would have had an outstanding arrest warrant. Again, wouldn't mean much unless Elon forgot about it and ended up traveling to or through a country that would arrest him on behalf of Thailand.
As the comments describe, yes email has become burdensome. Whether other collaboration platforms will resolve the confusing experience of asynchronous communication and interaction remains to be seen.
Wow, yeah. There was several months where the daily count of unvaccinated deaths in the US exceeded the total count of VAERS deaths. I don’t know where he got his numbers, but seems like he dropped a couple orders of magnitude from his comparisons? Miscoding 90% of deaths might not be an official pandemic by some definition, but still is substantially more deadly than the vaccine, even if those were vastly underreported. (I do not claim either seems likely—I agree with you they possible go in the other direction)

Because the topic of hydro and growing food and all that is on HN here, I wanted to leave the following comment on a higher level.

Ten years ago I was super dedicated to problems surrounding water, which of course include food and all the issues we have with our food systems. At the pinnacle, I was working with a half acre aquaponics greenhouse in Watsonville, CA. We had 8000 striped bass and produced and incredible amount of fresh produce. It was pesticide free because of you put chemicals on the plants it would get into the water and hurt the fish.

It was more “natural” than hydroponics. You weren’t using fertilizer imported from all over, everything in the system could be produced on-site. The more biologically diverse the system was, the more resilient and productive.

Both hydro and aqua phonics - the latter of which has been practiced for thousands of years, definitely save a ton of water. But I think aquaponics has a massive chance of being mainstream, especially as automation and all the advanced tech and robots get better.

It’s about ecological engineering on a local scale - you are maxing out the ecology to human and nature’s benefit, and there are so many relationships to learn and exploit.

It’s strange how impactful this could be on a grand scale - see some Dan barber Ted talks [1]

Just really need to get some investment on this on a big scale, like the hydro houses in Canada. No one has, from all that I know, really built aquaponic systems on a grand scale that are economically viable. But I see it coming and after I wrap up my current company, I’m jumping right back in to working on this.

We are just going to be doing what nature did best before we murdered all of it…but maybe Mac it out super hard and super quick compared to what it could do.

Lastly, with all the climate stuff: Don’t forget, you can’t put a price on the systems that produce the food, water and clean air we breath, cuz you know, we’d be dead. Well maybe we can, but we sure aren’t trying.

Apple maps still doesn’t support offline navigation which is a huge issue for me as someone who visits National parks. I used to have a Nokia windows phone back in 2014 which had terrific offline maps and navigation. I still can’t believe why apple hasn’t prioritized offline maps.

I use Google maps which gets its job done and has offline support. I just wish they cleaned up the UI a bit and allowed me to download more area because right now I’ve to do it 3-4 times to get a size able chunk of a state.
It's self-serving hypocrisy when programmers argue for a very strict reading of copyright for their own works (source code) while at the same time arguing for unbounded sharing of other people's works (books and papers).

If you agree with libgen and scihub then you should definitely not see anything wrong with copilot, because what copilot is doing is considerably milder, they are not reproducing anybody's works.

If you disagree with libgen and scihub because they are illegal only then can the argument that copilot is infringing be made.
It does! The native apps show a plethora of ads while the web app shows nothing. Crazy interesting but I imagine most users use the app.

There's a difference between wisdom and intelligence. Teenagers tend to lack the former, not the latter.
We've been using a Raspberry Pi400 (the computer in a keyboard model) as a media center pc for a little over 6 months now. It plays amazon and netflix videos fine, handles the netflix browsing UI pretty well, but has been rather painful for selecting shows on Amazon for a few months now. Not sure what they changed because it worked great when we first got it.

I'm not sure whether it was the best choice or not, but we figured we'd fall back to a regular pc if we needed to, and so far we haven't been bothered enough to do that.
Not for the pihole to use DoH to resolve regular :53 DNS requests, no. For it to act as a DoH DNS server, though, ie requests to it are encrypted, you would need one, yeah.

>growing food in a desert where water is scarce by taking it in insane volumes from another place just doesn't make sense to me

The central valley project has arguably been one of the most impressive things humanity has ever done. It turned 3 million acres of desert into farmland, which has provided us with almost 100 years of food and also produces over 5 Twh of electricity per year.
It is trivially easy to disconnect solar panels from the grid in times of low demand.

> It's self-serving hypocrisy when programmers argue for a very strict reading of copyright for their own works (source code) while at the same time arguing for unbounded sharing of other people's works (books and papers).

Yes, if those were the only two things being discussed, it would be.

But almost all of these people think a certain amount of copyright for songs and movies is good too. And I bet a vast majority of them support copyright for books too, or at least most books.
I mean in cases where someone just copy and pastes something without making any effort to match the style, or in cases where they can't explain what a piece of code does or how they came up with it. You should be able to spot those very easily in code review. If somebody is trying to fix up the naming schemes to avoid being detected and for whatever reason is able to explain the code perfectly, then I'd imagine that person would probably be doing the same bad things regardless of using copilot -- it's not like it's hard to search stackoverflow and github for code snippets.
> Years ago, as a kid, when the only computers I had access to were cobbled together hand-me-downs and machines people would throw away I used to do this kind of thing.

That was me well into my 20s :) Win2k broke, and I was broke, so the only option was to install linux.

It paved the way for me to get into programming, not so much shell scripts, but just the powerful idea that computer systems were malleable things you could change - something not really obvious for those of us who cut our teeth on MS Windows.

So I’m very far out of my depth here. But it seems like we humans learn how to use our limbs through something like trial and error. Ie in other areas, babies vocalize a lot of odd sounds that vaguely, eventually sound like words. It “looks like” what random variation on inputs and weighting based on outputs might “look like” third person. Is that way far off the realm of possible with motors/etc?
That was 18 years ago :)
I hope these get cheap enough that every house in the tropics gets them on their rooves. AC is going to become essential as temperatures rise, the grid can't support the load, and we can't afford to power all those ACs with fossil fuel. Solar powered AC seems like the most reliable way to survive a severe heatwave like the one described in the opening chapter of The Ministry of the Future: https://www.orbitbooks.net/orbit-excerpts/the-ministry-for-t...

You can't rely on the underprovisioned grid in a scenario like that, especially since the heatwave will likely drive the power plants themselves out of their operating range. Solar seems like the only way. Its intermittency is a problem on general, but clouds that would disrupt the power would also stop the heat.

It's interesting how this exposes the dynamics of ad-space.

Advertisements as points in a metric space A. Clicking ads as a contractive mapping C:A->A. Class-action lawsuit ads as a fixed point in A when iterating C.

This must imply something interesting about human psychology or ad economics, or both. Why does the fixed point end up as class action suits and not something else? It's not what I would have expected.
It's not really that hypocritical when you understand peoples perspective on it. In general people (here on HN/OS-community) care about sharing experiences and knowledge. Copyright on opensource content does not inhibit peoples ability to learn from it. Theres also the whole "big corp vs little guy" mentality at play here. If copilot was opensource then I don't think that anyone would have an issue with it, I actually think people would respond well to it if that were the case.

I also see a payoff in not burning coal / gas for this particular household’s power for decades to come.
i keep seeing talk about fast firecracker boot times... but as far as i can tell firecracker is something that talks to the KVM apis and does monitoring...

wouldn't fast boot times be a result of kvm and the structure of the VM being booted, or does this boot time metric include scheduling (on one or more firecracker hosts) and delivery of the image to the runner host for the VM?
Some time ago YT and other majors started serving ads from the same domains as content, so it's become much more difficult to reliably block them.

This isn't true at all. There are stories concerning code stealing that regularly lead the front page on HN and rouse a pretty intense reaction from the community. Saying that HNers have never before cared about this issue seems pretty inaccurate or disingenuous.

1. Nuclear isn't a panacea. Been There, Done That, Bought The T-Shirt. It will never happen. There's no need to risk a Chernobyl if you don't build it in the first place; shruggingly-accepting it is absurd.

2. Solar and wind are better than FF and nuclear when there is sufficient storage (PES, etc.). Prove that solar does anything to wildlife. Seriously, where is this FUD coming from?

3. Batteries aren't a power source, they're a means of storage.
That's not cynical at all; that's exactly what i-the-human-looking-at-trends would do, and it's almost certainly what an automated system would go for as well.

I don’t think you can infer human nature here as much as psychology of advertisers. I think it was GrubHub that started advertising on porn sites at one point and published some interesting findings from that. The reason the started to advertise there was because it was cheap and because other food related businesses were not advertising there. What they noticed is that most ads on porn sites are for porn, so ads for food stood out. And it didn’t hurt that often times people get hungry after they are done with porn. So in my mind the class action lawyers are just a niche that happens to advertise there and is the lowest common denominator that matches a wide range of people when nothing more targeted does. It could be mattresses or shoes or something else, but right now it’s lawyers.
I ran into two problems when trying to switch to a Raspberry Pi 4 8GB as a desktop replacement in mid-2020:

- A noticeably laggy screen update when running urxvt. Any action which caused large amounts of text to scroll on the screen (e.g. a file listing or paging through a man page) would cause a bit of a visual stutter. I was running with with XFT fonts enabled, so maybe that was a contributing factor. Web page scrolling also seemed to lag a bit too if I recall correctly.

- Lack of gamma support for blue light filters such as redshift or f.lux

I'm crossing my fingers there are improvements to these areas in the future.

Yes it was :-). And based on operating expenses and billing information it became cash flow positive after 12 years. In spite of PG&E doing everything it could to prevent that (changing rate plans out from under owners).

When it breaks I expect to replace it with a 10kW system tied to Powerwalls which avoids the rate plan shennanigans by not having to deal with ANY rate plan.

If I were you, I would rather start with SQL. It is so pervasive that it would never be a skill you regret having.

You realize if we used only nuclear power we'd have to mine an absolute crap ton of U right? Only a few percent is even usable, U235, so imagine the mega scale strip mining required.

There's a lot of things to scale of we wanted to do that, and right now the industry is scaling renewables, which isn't going to stop anytime soon, so if you want more nuclear I suggest you become a billionaire and build your own.
