Or if you're more conscientious, you ship it to China instead. Then, of course, one day COVID hits, China closes its borders and your green, eco-friendly, carbon-reducing recycling facility grinds to a halt because the plastic keeps coming but you can't ship it away.
Where do the capex differences come from ?
There is a Chinese company doing this. Tesla unveiled the concept years ago but decided not to do it.

There are multiple reasons that battery replacement is not as good as it seems.

Charging stations can be built in more locations and more densely than battery swapping locations. This is because you need to store those batteries somewhere and there is more space and machinery involved in swapping. So you trade off queueing time for charging time. Charging stations are most likely cheaper to build and maintain because of the space and machinery requirements.

A battery swapping station is more vulnerable to supply imbalances. Charging stations meet demand at charging rate.

Charging stations can be more easily made universal. Unless you mandate a common battery form factor, that won’t be the case for battery replacement. This means that charging stations can scale with the whole EV industry.

Swapping introduces inefficiencies to the car. You need at least a little additional structure which is weight.

The below article does point to advantages but again not what may first expect: cheaper initial cost for car, off peak charging time. Also note the industry standards.

You are forgetting the multi-millions of people that lost money on crypto so far. They are just written off as sore losers...

Confirmation bias plays a big role in the popularity of crypto, in unsettingly the same way as it does with people dreaming to become a famous soccer player... mostly through confirmation bias and very little value-add.
"code is law" unless those with concentrated power doesn't like the code
From the first example:

> return -tf.reduce_mean((T("input") - 0.5)*2)

Don't you want to use the average instead of "0.5"?

From the explanation:

> The code is a function that takes in an input tensor and returns the mean squared error of the input.

It's hard to believe that the system can detect that it's the "mean squared error". Is this an explanation a real example from the implementation, or it's just a handmade example?
To the downvoters: if we don't also manage to improve neuroplasticity decrease in old age as well as breaking generational cultural norms, we're doomed, don't fool yourself. Especially since older people are politically more active, as a group.
I knew someone once who, in the very early days of BTC (before it was worth more than $10 or something), helped someone with a technical issue and, unbidden, was sent something like 80 BTC as a thank you.

The running joke, before all the nightmares cryptocurrency has spawned since it took off, was that he'd helped some drug lord fix their metaphorical printer, but not so funny now...
lol, got to love the helpful but amoral technical assistance
The time window of learning ISN'T THE POINT.

You're asking an animal to internalize a system of communication quite literally designed from the ground up for different hardware. It's like asking why does my Oculus headset take so long to communicate over ZigBee. What would be magical is that it did it at all. Lamenting how long it took to bend the Oculus hardware into some contorted SDR would be stupid.
Were you already using MinIO? As somebody who wants to eventually backup photos on my phone, I'm curious why not just use Syncthing for that?
This stunning. Imagine being able to practice your foreign language lessons this way.
The Schengen area shouldn't have been expanded so rapidly, IMO.

Btw, what we in Scandinavia mostly read about is the constant flow of stolen goods to e.g. Poland and neighbouring countries. This was interesting to read about.
> smart contracts are still stupid.

Haha, smart contracts are as stupid as the average "intelligent home" only worse: They cannot be updated.

People writing smart contracts should be the ones coming from a firmware/embedded writing background, not "webdevs". Right now DeFi smart contracts look like the 90s web: Tons of "Defaced" website every week. Of course now there's a stronger incentive given that monetary value is involved.
That is exactly what I mean. A web server that makes database requests needs permission to do any query a web request would need to be able to trigger - not just permission for the specific query that makes sense for the specific request it is serving at the time.

It’s the difference between ‘can query the database’ and ‘can retrieve user Clarice’s profile information because she just made a request
To the profile edit page’

Does that make sense?
Physical matter is decentralized but that doesn't give you a right to steal someone's gold without legal action.

Decentralized systems have different benefits for different people. For instance, some people like to trade 24 hours without corporate middlemen stopping you from trading at night. That's not the same as avoiding legal authority.
I am generally in agreement with you (and have made similar arguments, if you look at my post history), but the "expand in unspecified ways" is a bit ominous. Committing to only scanning photos that are being synced to the cloud (effectively, keeping parity with what everyone does, just doing it on device at the time of upload instead of in the cloud) would be really welcome here.
GNUStep/WindowMaker are too "ugly" and many people use Linux purely out of being gaga at the beautiful window borders. Just look at any recent YouTube video about Linux, it'll likely be about how much better (KDE|Gnome|etc.) LOOK than Windows 11 (usability? That's that?)
I'm not fretting or skepticizing, I'm just trying to get a pulse on where things are and where they're going.

Adoption isn't irrelevant, because it determines things like ecosystem maturity, long-term support, etc. I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending that my company build a critical new system on a technology until I feel confident that it has a future. So I'm just trying to get a read on where we are with that when it comes to Deno.
With 600 million, I'd be feeling pretty generous.
Like what? Buy illegal fireworks online?

It would take the flick of a switch for someone to ruin your life for a crime you could never explain yourself out of. Nobody will ever believe that you were framed because that means other convicted predators could also have been framed. As soon as your name hits an index-able news article, guilty or not, your life is over.

This is a blackmail machine.
The ethereum crowd has never really bought into the “code is law” thing, except maybe in marketing. There was that whole fork a few years ago between ETC and ETH when ETH reversed a big hack transaction.

I'll update the size of American supermarkets in my mind by 100% : )

There are broadly 5 big shops within comfortable distance of me - one of them is between 150-200,000 sqft [1], so I guess a mid-sized American store. But I've only been to one of them, when I needed some electronics, because I don't see the point otherwise. Presumably other people do or the shops wouldn't exist...

Unrelated - does "town" mean something different in American English? To me it means a place bigger than a village but smaller than a city. The city I'm in has 300k - 1m people in it, depending on how you draw the boundaries.

[1]: its car park extends onto its roof which I guess might be amusing to an American. Land is expensive here.
If I make dollars, I am trading time for money, some part from my life. I am never regain these years I spend earning. Now some other person is saying hunger from no good financial decision, means I now must give some of my dollars (years)? No, these policys are taking part of my life. I will give charity if such is my choosing but no government can take some from my life for sustaining of others.
Yes.
We also don't use it with typescript (and would actively advocate for its removal from deno when asked), best JS runtime I've ever used.
Excuse me, "muzzle-loading revolver"?

Would that not entirely defeat the point of a revolver?
I don't understand what is going on, why are people even spending time on this? I think this and copilot and etc are solving a non problem of "we will remove the boring part of programming" by generating a bunch of code, so now it's even more boring to read it and check if it actually does what you want.

In the same time zero of the developers I interviewed know how a linked list is laid out in memory, or what is the pro/con of continuous memory layouts, or even how a cpu works actually.

Maybe those things are not needed anymore, but I see their code... I think it will be better if they know them.
Tourism is usually considered part of the service industry and not resource extraction. Resource extraction is more like mining, timber, and extracting other raw materials from the earth.
The complaints seem like hard things to fix. Which of them have been improved?
This isn't necessarily a bad thing—studies[1] have shown that adoption discovery between birth and two years of age may increase life satisfaction and decrease stress.

The same applies to other cases where parents aren't genetically related to their children (i.e., donor egg and/or sperm).

Are you doing deterministic builds of your enclave image file to be able to reason about the provenance of your enclaves?
If it's an internal tool used by 10's of people I really don't care one bit about memory use, the elegance of shared dependencies, etc. The kind of optimizations debian is going for are great at scale but it's the kind of last 10% of work that will take 90% of your time. This is optimizing squarely for fastest agility with lowest developer and maintenance time.

How, with this years heat domes and ever increasing evidence that global climate change will effect the western world in a negative way, are we still even considering burning coal? Please tell me these projects will be scrapped.
Which federal government? The whole point is that these are assets that are not tied to any country.

The country you reside in may tax you non-state-currency assets, like selling a painting. But if a painting is stolen around the world at the same time, many governments may have collected taxes on part of that painting. Which government should be the government to persue the theft?

In a different way, if 600 million USD was stolen in cash in France. The US would work closely with the French government to close that case. The US would not be the one to foot the entire bill of solving the case.

Here no government has any real stake or harm to reputation to close the case.
I try to only bookmark things that are likely to remain relevant to me long term to some degree, and/or would be a pity to lose a path to for some reason.

You say that know. I'm not sure you'd say that if you'd live in a mud hut and your baby daughter would die because of a tape worm.
Is it only for games, or can it run the other types of Amiga software? A friend of mine had one at the beginning of the 90's, and he mainly used it for word processing. Too bad I haven't seen him in more than a decade, because he probably still has that computer in his basement. He hardly ever threw anything away.

I thought the desktop was revolutionary, because it handled windowing better than Windows - faster and smoother. Also, the icons seem to have been resizable and had transparent backgrounds so they didn't have to be rectangular looking. The CLI was a weird hybrid DOS with a near Unix-like feel.
Factually, not yet. That will change and I will explain how in a moment. But first there's a major difference between doing it on device vs in the cloud. It changes how we think about privacy and builds a capability to scan phones (not particularly limited to iCloud) into the device. That's a capability no Western tech company could ever be forced to build for more illicit usages, but now it exists.

Second, Apple almost assuredly will encrypt iCloud after this. So now we have the precedent of scanning encrypted messages. And that will then feed legislation that congress has been attempting to pass for years to kill any right to meaningful end to end encryption for messaging. https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2020/03/06/earn-it-...
I mean if my friend is Jeff Bezos or Rhianna, I might be a little surprised if they suggest we split the bill.

Seriously, HN, is Deno going to hit the front page with every single point release??
I was on the phone with them getting a demo of Enterprise Managed Users at the time and the demo was failing too, ha. So we looked at the status page together and saw all yellow.

Doesn't matter, I wanted EMUs without the demo anyway. Still was funny to happen when I was talking to an engineer at the time.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to state that most Americans experience k-12 math as an exercise in memorization. Even relatively simple algebraic manipulation such as quadratic equations are drilled for factorization first.
And the counterpoint is that there are few enough companies offering sv salaries to remote workers in Topeka that it doesn't matter.

Put another way, if you live in X location your job market is local jobs + remote jobs. The remote jobs are constant everywhere, so there's a relatively high demand. Unless the remote market absolutely dominates the local market, remote jobs can still compete with local ones.
The days when a house might cost one year or at most two years income are long gone.

Back then a common scenario was buy a house, fix it up a bit, save, use first house's equity and the savings as down payments on a second house. Next thing you know (if nothing goes wrong) you own a bunch of houses and have a semi-passive income stream to live on.

There are very few places in the USA where that is even remotely possible any more.

And real estate has been the most common path to wealth for a century or more.
I would be more positively disposed to believing they're doing this for the greater good had they not circulated an internal memo calling the opposition to this the "screeching voices of minority". I will admit, I am extremely cynical when it comes to the topic of privacy and tech but I lean towards the belief that a company's internal communication is more honest about what their attitude is to these topics and features than the words of their PR department.
That depends on how you value your freetime.

I once went from a 30min commute to 2 min. Just that small amount of freetime (1 hour basically) let me get a lot more things done in a day. I could also realistically 'go home for lunch'. Which cut my lunch expenses way down.

Now up front if you had said I am going to cut your pay by 10% because of that. I would not have done it. But after having done it I would deeply consider it.
I'm still surprised by the approach. I mean, great that it works this well -- but program synthesis is one of those rare domains where you can observe exactly what the outcome is after you generate something. You can see execution traces, variable values, what the JIT produced, etc. And all of this is relatively cheap -- often executing a code snippet should be far cheaper than an extra pass through a giant DNN right? So it's fascinating to me that they train entirely from dealing with code as text.

Imagine learning to develop recipes, not by ever cooking or eating or even seeing food, but only reading a giant library of cookbooks. Or learning to compose music but never hearing or playing anything -- only seeing scores.
I agree with the mobile browser (the only recent change they made, afaics, was to artificially disable most of the extensions and to make tab switching worse), however it is not just about ad networks that people are paranoid about. Tracking is pervasive and there are many players which know way too much about what users are doing on the net.

I don't even care if they track me - what I care about is that they track mostly everybody. Such power should not be underestimated.
If it was Jeff Bezos, I wouldn't be surprised.
I agree with that, but all I am saying is being on call shouldn't stop you from having a drink or two and hanging out with friends. Life is boring otherwise being worried about this. :)
HDFS has pretty much all of Ceph's flaws plus it has a non-scalable metadata server, the "NameNode". If you're already up and running with Ceph I can think of no reason to abuse yourself with HDFS.

"The more I learn about animal intelligence, the more I suspect we grossly underestimate it."

An example of something that might surprise many people: animals can use medicine.

Here is a fascinating podcast that discuss the subject with researchers and experts.

Podcast description:

> Listener Andrew Chen got in touch to ask whether animals use any kind of medicine themselves. After all, our own drugs largely come from the plants and minerals found in wild habitats. So perhaps animals themselves are using medicines they find in nature.

> We think of medicine as a human invention - but it turns out that we’ve learnt a lot of what we know from copying the birds, bugs and beasts.

This podcast is highly recommended - I guarantee you'll come away amazed and humbled by the intelligence of animals.

Bartek from deno.land here, happy to answer your questions should you have any.

Deno 1.13 is one of the biggest releases to date - we're especially happy with stabilization of native HTTP server bindings. We plan to focus on squeezing the last bits of performance out of it in the coming weeks.

Personally I'm most excited about type checking example code in Markdown files. It's critical to keep your documentation up to date and doing so for code blocks embedded in JSDoc comments or Markdown files was very challenging. With this release we got you covered - just run "deno test --doc" on your codebase.
FYI, I think you meant to respond to the comment I was responding to?
You're right, but is this news?

I understand the whole point of crypto is the future bet that centralisation/regulation by state actors will eventually be _less_ trustable. This one hack means $600MM lost, but how much has been routinely lost to bad governance, inflation or corruption? How much value has been destroyed in the 2008 housing crisis?

In the long run, the crypto market can professionalize enough while remaining decentralised, such that the risk/reward is attractive compared to holding 100% fiat – this seems to be people's bet, not that crypto is inherently safe.
Maybe I'm misinterpreting the photo, but I saw the path as a firebreak, like they were using the vehicles to separate the burning tires from the rest of them.
It's definitely true for me. Working from home, I see my neighbors before work, during lunch, and after work much more than when they were going to the office. Especially, during lunch time, I see a lot more people that actually live near me out and about instead of people that happen to work in my general area that I'd typically never see after work or on the weekend since they'd go back to their own neighborhoods.

Everybody is looking for empathy. The intention of the comment was to create empathy for the less fortunate, and maybe change the OP's perspective to find a solution.

It is not about feelings, but rather truth - which can hurt sometimes.
Nothing at all, I'd argue working with relational data relationally is ideal. It was in response to the statement that anybody try to do their own data access layer is guilty of hubris.

I'd say the bigger hubris is trying to shove relational data into object graphs and the challenges and pain of ORMs is proof of that.
Joe Biden couldn't lead himself out of a paper bag; I think we all know that if ever there was a figurehead president, he's it.

Not sure why the source of things like PRISM and all have to be a single evil person - I think you watch too many Bond films. I can't articulate any sort of form to the driving will behind what we see happening to the security state over the last twenty years in particular, but we do know that privacy continues to erode, that agencies basically dictate agendas to the press through "leaks" and even by putting retirees directly on their payrolls. That much is known. I don't know if it's productive to attempt the characterization of this phenomenon as some Scoobie-Doo mystery to be solved and unmasked. It's probably more important to oppose the policies, politicians, and press that seem to align with an agenda that promotes the bargain of us turning in freedoms for a promise of safety.
For what its worth, this table only goes to 2017, all are either operational or cancelled. So this doesn't suggest that there are _new_ coal plants being proposed/considered.

Decentralization usually includes the assumption that parties are acting independently and are not all colluding.

[Edit: Following the incentives of the protocol is not collusion. In a crypto context I would define collusion as something like multiple parties working together against their own incentives (e.g. rejecting valid, fee-paying transactions).]
