The "compile it your self" link in the README (https://github.com/victordiaz/PHONK/blob/master) is a 404. (also, it should be "yourself"), and the landing page site header is cut off on mobile, so the GitHub link doesn't show up.
It really depends on where you are. I do hope Tesla keeps on pumping them out in high-traffic areas though.

It's probably a step-up from just using a phone or phablet but with a Raspi you'd still need (compatible) monitors. No idea what the availability and markup is for these though reliable electricity might be another issue for remote regions.

It's a cool little rhetorical trick that let's us redirect and spread blame around to everyone.
Oh this is a nice way to lock in all the money from Research Grants. I remember reading on Twitter about some of the research requiring massive amount of compute resources. ( Like a whole region of AWS ). This AWS money pool usage makes sense in that context.
Does the development of an XMPP client with a few million downloads count as sufficient experience in the field?
Great story!

noduerme says >"...but there's only so much time in life to hoard useless shit."<

Would only that this did not apply to the human brain, which seems capable of storing an infinite amount of useless shit (and incapable of allowing us to edit out the smallest undesired part)!
I've run across this problem before and ultimately decided on the two-record solution. I reasoned that it's entirely possible to have a non-mutual friendship. The table ends up having a "user_id" and a "friend_id", with each record indicating that one user considers another to be a friend. A "friend request" can even be modeled as a single record, in which case, accepting the request creates the matching entry. The concept of "mutual" friends determines whether two users are connected and visible to one another.
I can also drink black tea for longer durations than unsupplemented coffee. When I drink green tea, my typical choice is sencha, but it is not nearly as concentrated as the matcha. So I suspect the caffeine is therefore lower than my typical cup of coffee, hence the reduced agitation?
A recent HN thread on NixOS had comments that said that NixOS seems better supported than regular Nix, or at least it was generally easier to find documentation in the form of blog posts and such for the NixOS commands.

Yeah, but people aren't actually that interested in the scientific method here. Criticizing things is an easy way to appear smart, and that's the main point.

Empirical research has never been about some true/false binary; that's a myth perpetuated on HN. It has always been about strength of evidence, improving models, and opening paths for future research. I've seen people dismiss case studies by decrying that their n=1, for god's sake.
> There exist lubricants for which non-fossil crude oil production sources are possible such as PAG and others. Likewise, there exist many plastics and synthetic rubber that are not petro based, however ethylene, which is a petrochemical byproduct, is still required for a lot of plastic uses. This doesn't matter much, it is totally possible to produce these things without vast ghg production.

Sure. However, the problem with this idea is that it is easy to pick a few things here and there that can be done without petroleum. However, once you take in the entirety of industry, the range and scale of products we derive from petroleum or products that very much directly depend on petroleum and derivatives it truly massive. The world would come to a grinding halt if we stopped using petroleum.

This stands to reason. In an effort to extract more and more value out of the stuff we have become very creative and efficient at using as much of that black goo as possible for all kinds of things. We are talking about hundreds of years of research and technological evolution. It is only reasonable that, given that, humanity is as dependent as can be on the oil ecosystem.

This is what I talk about when I say that we need to stop this business of reducing reality to single variables. The consequences of reacting to a single variable while ignoring the dependency tree could result in far worse outcomes than anyone could possibly imagine.
Unfortunately more fires are the only solution, due to the amount of fuel built up in California forests from a century of mismanagement. 2020 was the highest burn area on record with 4+ million acres burnt, and we would need 10 years burning at this level to bring the state down to 1920 fuel levels.
The sad part is that due to the amount of built up fuel, these fires will be very intense leaving moonscapes opposed to healthy forests.

More prescribed burns in the spring and wet years may help, but I don't think the political willpower is there, given the liability if things get out of hand.
Ok, they have so much demand for Tesla's they cant keep up with it but have massive superchargers in plenty of locations. Fair enough? :)

In many ways, I admire the authority the Chinese Government wields. To build a new nuclear power plant anywhere in "the free world" is effectively impossible. Even adding a new reactor to an existing site takes decades, is likely to fail, and will most likely bankrupt the company attempting to do it. I envy having leadership that actively wants more nuclear energy and has the power to deliver.
It's more accurate to say you depend on the teaching/explaining talent in addition to code talent. Why is that a problem?

I've never heard anything as helpful for learning as the Feynman technique: https://fs.blog/2021/02/feynman-learning-technique/

The article's mention of "best practices" rings incredible true. If it's a "best practice" you should be able to easily list a half dozen reasons why. Otherwise you don't really understand what you're talking about.
There is also a NamedTuple (notice the different casing) from the typing library, which doesn't seem to be mentioned in the article:

id: int

This is equivalent to:

Employee = collections.namedtuple('Employee', ['name', 'id'])

Thank you for saving me some time!
I have a theory that the jittery/anxious feeling people say they get from caffeine is mainly due to the size of the dose and "quickness" of it. If you find that theanine fixes it, then great. But I'd also suggest trying 100 mg time-release caffeine and see how it goes. You might be surprised. This also has the benefit of needing less total caffeine while lasting you longer through the day. (Just a heads up: many brands only say they're time-release but don't seem to actually have the coating/capsule/matrix that you'd expect from an actual time-release pill.)
It is almost guaranteed this is actually happening. What should this be a surprise?
The term "deist" fits some of those items, although.

Interestingly, I think some of the distinction as to why this idea is more palatable is that it doesn't require "supernatural" or "magic" deities. The "creator" could be just like us. We already have evidence that creating virtual worlds is possible--we do it ourselves with games, so I think it takes a lot less faith, as we have a limited proof of principle already.

Also, most magical creationism is totally untestable. You can make some predictions about a simulation, though. If simulations are subject to constraints, which is likely, you should be able to ascertain, in the design of the universe, that items with the biggest O might be subject to performance optimizations. If you find lazy loading, caching, or other performance optimizations at the smallest scale (biggest O), which is what this might predict, you at least have some hints.
No persistent chat, doesn't reliably report availability status / presences, tells you messages were sent when they weren't, messages don't always arrive on all devices, message with error that says "message couldn't be delivered" but they were delivered so you send them many many times...

the list goes on.
This isn't super surprising based on my personal experience. I take theanine in the morning to help clear my mind before working and also before bed to stop my mind from racing.

I have found that taking caffeine and other prescription stimulants(Adderall)have a negative effect in some ways increasing my anxiety or otherwise hindering my ability of outside-the-box thinking. Subsequently I have stopped taking Adderall completely for about a month now and I feel a ton better.
Thank you! Should I report the fact that Element on my phone deleted all its session keys due to some kind of server hiccup (the server was incorrectly reporting incorrect-password stuff, probably because A. was reinstalling it and hadn't restored the user database yet) as a bug? Certainly deleting all my past conversations and my encryption keys when there's a temporary server failure, is not the behavior I desire, but maybe it's by design?

(In that particular case, it resulted in me losing the address where I had to go that afternoon, which was in a Matrix chat message on my phone, before Element peremptorily deleted all my past messages with no confirmation. Fortunately I was able to remember enough of the address to get close enough...)

> This feels very impressive and community friendly

They just pay for prevent critique. Lets see the Sketchfab price list in the next few years.
My take on this is that Tesla is doing this to kneecap competitors like Ionity who like to offer very non-competitive rates for charging. If your vehicle is from outside of Ionity "old boys network" you must pay 0.79 €/kWh. Tesla SuC rate is 0.37 €/kWh in Germany currently.

More importantly though, the other competitors offer has been rather pathetic, one, maybe two charging stalls, where Tesla builds proper spots with 12-18 stalls. Tesla will show the other brands (drivers of which, honestly, might have no idea what they are missing out on) how it's done.

With the pricing of charging conundrum, I feel currently the goals of car makers and charging providers like Ionity, Fastned or EnBW (and metric ton of bit-players) were misaligned. I hope this move from Tesla will drive some consolidation, and make other car-makers realize that charging and car sales need to go hand-in hand, be totally aligned.
> Regular green tea is not

Not…very high? Just “regular” high?
Europe's "problems" creating it's own cloud lie mainly with lack of people as stupid as necessary to use clouds and pay for them. Almost all of my clients from the U.S. use AWS or GCP (and vastly overpay for them). Nearly no one from Europe is as gullible or prone to marketing manipulation, they use normal dedicated servers and pay 2-20% of AWS costs (depending on load variability and load being data transfer intensive VS compute intensive). People would laugh their asses off from the AWS CloudFront pricing too.... when you can have blazing fast CDNs for 5-10% of that enormous ripoff pricing.

If you want to replicate it in Europe, sorry, that won't work.

I bought $2k worth of nickels back 2006 as nickel metal prices were spiking[1], but the coin was not quite worth over five cents yet. I thought, "This is a great way to invest in the metal as the down side is limited and the upside is not". When the bank asked why I needed so many nickels, I told them that I was doing on internet nickel give-away promotion. That seemed to convince them and I loaded up my truck with a 1/2 ton of nickels the next week.

A few months later the government made it illegal to melt down coins as the price of nickel spiked to $50,000 a ton. Cashed almost all of them back into the bank later but, they charged me about a $100 handling fee. I wasn't going to try and melt them down or go to Mexico to make a few bucks. There was a downside after all and the upside was capped. Never forget that the laws can and often do change when investing.

FWIW, even before the advent of the recent wave of "stand your ground" laws, there was an older legal principle, that was very widely held, called "castle doctrine"[1] which comes into play in terms of killing a home intruder. The details still vary from state to state, but AIUI, many locales hold to a form of castle doctrine such that if you kill an invader who is actually in your home, you would be unlikely to be charged with murder.

In Europe it accounts for the majority of the BEV market. Hence Tesla uses CCS only on their Model 3 since 2018 (and probably all future cars)
> and there should be $1, $2 and $5 coins to replace the paper bills

What is the reasoning for wanting $1/2/5 coins instead of paper? Don't most people prefer paper?
I am talking about number of unarmed people that are killed by police, which is what falls into the category of something to be concerned about.

Your numbers munge everyone killed by the cops, which is stupid. "X pointed a gun at a cop so the cops shot him" does not translate into "cops are bad" in my mind.

The wheelbase might not be smaller than a small car, but it definitely looks like its height is much smaller. One could still imagine it being invisible to a person in an SUV staring at their phone.

The benefit for safety for this is that it is large enough fast enough to move with traffic on most city streets, so won't be getting sideswiped into the gutter by passing cars regularly.
I think there's a lot of corruption there, but it goes beyond that. Government IT consulting is a very exclusive niche that's hard to get into.

None of the managers are willing to risk losing an IT contractor/or product no matter how terrible they/it are/is. There are basically two IT choices that they do:

1. Choose a really big expensive company that is in Gartner(they do have the best dinners though, also you get to travel business class to visit them for seminars).

2. Choose someone that they know through somebody. It's quite amazing that Matrix has managed to get as much government traction as it has. I've seen a person not willing to kick out a product where I had to walkthrough the creator of it on a Teamviewer on how to debug his own app in the web inspector, and it was unable to display pdfs if they were in landscape(for years). And everyone knew they were bad, the managers would joke about it.

As they say, nobody ever got fired for buying IBM. These people are absolutely terrified of making a bad decision that may cost them a promotion in the future.
Surveillance camera man is a troll that seems to be making a point as an excuse rather than a protest, IMO. I don't think people would be comfortable if a surveillance camera could stand a few inches away from them (sometimes while following) while answering questions with a disconcerting lack of affect. I also don't have to worry about being assaulted by a security camera... Americans live in a world where young antisocial men have become the stereotype for mass shooters.

I'm incredibly familiar with the rights of photographers in public places and the extent of surveillance in public places, but I would also not be comfortable with the way he acts.

He also walks into private property, like the back of restaurants, to record in multiple cases... behavior that serves no purpose and proves no point.
Thanks to using BBEdit for a decade now, I get bitterly disappointed whenever I re-open an application and it doesn't restore the windows and state it had when it closed. I've tried switching to both Emacs and Vim, but no amount of configuration nor third-party plugins could get them to work like this effectively. BBEdit works exactly how I want it to work out of the box, and I commend it for that.
Maybe, but if you can segment out the unobserved items, and back-calculate it lazily, you could save a lot of processing and memory.

The place to implement an optimization like this would be at the items with the biggest O in your world, which is usually the smallest building block--what you'd have the "most" of, which would drive the largest memory and processing demands.
Thanks. Ok, hear me out because here it comes naive time.
GPU demand will continue to grow exponentially in this decade (VR, Crypto or whatever remains from it,ML,Data Eng,Steam Deck, Laptops etc)Wouldnt it be possible for some multi-country/university/companies to create a totally open GPU specification ? That has happened already? I understand we are talking about a long time of research effort and billions $$ but I think the benefits for all would be incredible. Open hardware, open libraries, open drivers. Imagine a world with no Linux, a totally closed x86 fully owned by IBM, closed webGL. Where can I read more about efforts in this direction if they exist?
That's a compelling explanation, thanks. Quite detailed.

Taking your comment in the best possible light, I see this as a general indicator that for would-be-developers, things are often so much better than they were, despite the fact that many OSes are locked down.

Services like Azure and GitHub make it easy to get started, and combined with great documentation like MDN and Q&A on StackOverflow, so much more information and opportunity is available.

I remember struggling to learn QBASIC as a kid in the '90s without any resources (I didn't have internet). My programs were 20 times the length they could have been if only I'd been able to learn a few basic data structures.

I'm not sure I get your point - Terraform modules[0] are a generic way to encapsulate a set of Terraform resources. What variables you expose to the outside is up to the module developer - You can expose high-level variables like "service type" and "add a database" in your module as well. No need to understand VPCs, security groups, ACLs, either. The question whether there are high-quality Terraform modules that do that is a different one, that's why I think your service might still be of value _if those modules you maintain are of high quality and do reasonable things, which I haven't verified_.

Maybe you have great ideas for this target concept, but the claims in your documentation[1] that this is new and the inference that Terraform isn't capable of this don't hold up:

> it describes a particular architecture that can produce many possible variations for a wide variety of stacks, depending on configuration.

You can do exactly that, with Terraform modules, today, no digger needed.
