The emissions cost of building a new car and shipping it halfway across the world will significantly affect this calculation. You can drive a less efficient car for many years on the carbon cost of building a new one, as long as you're not driving some huge pick up or other obscene gas guzzler.
This doesn't seem related to the article at all, just a vent in response to the headline.
A noble discovery...

However, even if this was an economically viable solution to the perceived problem of CO2 in the atmosphere, this doesn't help with the goal of setting up a global government and global tax, so it would be ignored.

Anthropogenic global warming, as a studied issue, is not about solving the world's problems; it's about setting up a global government with a global tax. It always has been; it hasn't even pretended to be anything else. The motivations have always been ostensibly about solving global warming, but the plans have always been very public; set up a global tax and a global government to implement this tax. That could not be more clear.

Ask yourself, if you were planning on taxing the entire planet, even if it was only .1% of their GDP (~80 billion), would you rather have that money or have some random scientist discover the solution to the problem that leads to you getting 80 billion dollars?
Thanks for the advice, going hard into toilet paper ;)

Stocks make sense I suppose, but markets just seem risky. SPY and indexes seems like the move if you don’t want to spend a ton of time researching.

I’d go for guns before laptops but even then, a Barrett REC-10 is in high demand and might be good to own a couple just to tie cash up, but worth a lot less when the REC-11 comes out, this is worse for tech items. Food storage seems inefficient.

Ugh.
Definitely have much higher costs to living alone. Some hidden - some not. Having mostly lived alone for the last 10 years, all of these things are obvious to me and not-obvious to my partnered, family’d, and roommated peers. The surgery thing is real - part of my not looking into one surgery I should do is because I live alone and won’t have anyone to take care of me. I might be able to get a friend to drive me from the hospital but that’s it.

Where I am - I spend more on rent than some of my peers spend in their entire month. I’m not living in a lavish place either - just a 400sqft inlaw unit in the backyard of a 4000sqft lot. This is due to the lack of housing for single people and communities built around it. Unfortunately, many developers out there aren’t interested. After all - why go after a bunch of individual customers when you can target groups of customers just as easily? (Cost is effectively same to get a group of four to purchase than an individual - but now you can sell 4x more) These could be addressed but I don’t think our capitalistic society is willing to do such because the incentive structure isn’t there. They’re always seeking maximum profit and single people will continue to be pointless to cater to - especially since single people often will buy the group thing because there are no other options. So you can now sell 4x the product to just an individual - huge win. Rig the market further and support this fucked up system as much as possible. No reason to ever change this structure because it maximizes draining bank accounts. So while it makes sense for the companies - it completely fucks the consumers. This is where capitalism fails so often in the real world and deserves all of its criticism.
termkit (2011) had some similar ideas about "blocking" of commands & theur outputs.

I'd be interested in seeing a similar list of this except in the Google/Chromium space, but it's probably less obvious since they maintain Chromium themselves..
Again, what pisses people off is not that some features are premium but rather when features are promised to be free/open source, was working in the open source version but then pulled back to be a premium feature when Microsoft changed their mind.
> Isn't a faster boot what everybody wants?

Yes, but glancing quickly at the article some solutions are not generally acceptable, such as moving filesystem processes to the application code. If you have a RPi project where you plan to run a single Qt app then you can do stuff like this, but that is generally speaking not the use case.
Wait, where?
The only morphing was when "equality of opportunity" which is simultaneously nonsensical and undesirable morphed into "equality of outcome" (equity) which is simultaneously more coherent and depraved. Chopping off the top (unless you are a party member) was always part of it.
What part do you not think is true? What I described is the common situation in the United States where you have observers confirming that people are checked against the voter registration lists, the ballots are collected in sealed boxes, transported securely, etc. At every stage they verify seals so they can confirm that while they don't know _how_ you voted there's no serious question that the ballot being tallied is the one you dropped in the box at your polling station.

This is one of the major reasons why all of those election lawsuits failed: an alleged tampering scheme would need hundreds of people altering many thousands of records, and it would need to involve members of both parties and city employees without leaking any trace of its existence. One very nice property of physical seals and paper ballots is that you can't alter them without doing a lot of manual work which would obviously be different from normal activities. The conspiracy theorists tried but they couldn't come up with a remotely plausible way that people could have been shifting truck-loads of ballots around in perfect secrecy.
One thing you might be interested in is a company called NetworkNext. (No affiliation, I just think it’s a great idea.) They provide a private network marketplace that will give you pretty much optimized latency anywhere in the world.
Tbh i should probably try inviting people to stuff, I just don't wanna try to put something together and have like 2 people show up. I never really organized that kind of hang out before so I'll have to do some work learning. Thanks for the advice!
Well, Turing was formalizing something that his mind was doing, so in a sense, yes, Turing Machines have always been AI.
Democrats have formally disputed every presidential election they have lost since 2000 (before, during, and after the official electoral tallying). Leftist mobs were rioting through every major city last year and storming plenty of government and federal buildings (even in DC).

If that is not working to overturn democracy, then neither are a handful of people running past the barricades at the Capitol building, who harmed nobody.
> But sometimes, you realize you just don't like to cook.

Simple as that, really. Convenience always wins. Cooking is easiest when someone else does it for you.
Yep, but the 48 came out a few years later, in the early '80's all we had were 67 and 97, then the 11C that was actually "portable" and with everlasting batteries, the "main" product at the time was the 41 but it was heavier and bulkier (and costed a lot more than the 11C, which was also nearly indestructible, I mean we had a couple of times wheel loaders passing on one of them and it came out only slightly bent in one of these incidents).

Right after the 41 and 11c, but before the 48 came the 28C (which also costed an arm and a leg, but I still have my beloved 28C in use, prefectly working, some thirty years later, so it wasn't such a bad investment ).
If we were having this conversation in real life, I bet I would change your mind if I employed my appendages with sufficient vigor.

I concede I was being hyperbolic and uncharitable. I don’t think the article deserves much better, though.
And who has probably moved on already.
Ask some people if they know of any parties happening. Try taking some herbal medicines to calm down your anxiety.
These companies need to be broken up, and regulated as utilities where they are not broken up. This particular collusion isn’t the only issue. The real issue is that collusion is a symptom of extreme market power that distorts society in many different ways. It prevents competition, hurts customers (for example undermining privacy laws), and undermines our basic values (for example most of societal speech takes place on their private platforms). Clarence Thomas and others were right about applying common carrier regulation to social media. But for things like ads collusion or illegal hiring agreements or whatever, the fix is simply to break them up due to their size. Companies that are worth hundreds of billions of dollars are simply too big.

Yes I was speaking hypothetically, not about you specifically.
It's also basically no different from the standard for broadcast media advertising. The US has cycled back and forth on whether it should be illegal from decade to decade, but the jury is pretty out on that point of philosophy as a whole.

One interesting footnote about a specific type of longform content; recipes are categorically not under copyright in US law, but specific collections of them (like a specific cookbook formatting) can be, and recipes are also theoretically copyrightable if they contain "substantial literary expression." Which is why most food blogs usually have a longform essay of some personal anecdote right before the actual recipe you're looking for.

Price was about 90 USD this time last year. Not a huge gain in 12 months. I really don't get what prompts AMDs highs and lows. I am sure it was like 107 just a couple of weeks ago and they haven't had any major new announcements yet. Just reaffirmed what was already known, no?

Any links you could share? I've been trying to avoid seeking alpha. Is that a mistake?
> Before the engines reach full power the outside air pressure pushed up inside the engine nozzles creating unstable flow separation. See the nozzle flex.

the last video, of the shuttle's rs-25 engines turn on & the unstable flow separation was totally awesome to see. it's hard to believe atmosphere has enough pressure to push anything up those nozzles but there's all kinds of evidence dancing before the eyes that just that is happening.

then watching the nozzles quake a bit really gave added to the impression, made it really obvious that not-exploding is quite the mighty challenge.
This is an excellent point that you're raising, I'm a bit surprised it's not the top upvoted comment.
If step 1 in your climate plan is "resurrect the dead since the industrial revolution started", I doubt it will be very successful. Or am I misunderstanding you?
Tbh i never seen people smoking on campus, its tobacco free so they can't really. Plus not many people smoke who are my age or if they do it's weed and at their place. It is interesting though, I have heard people talk about how smoking is (or was) kinda a social aid even more than alcohol.
If they're hitting the outbound SMTP servers, there's no way (at least that I know of) to protect the IP/servers via obfuscation with a service like Cloudflare etc. Email deliverability relies heavily on the source IP of the sending SMTP for reputation and is going to be viewable in the headers of an email. Also changing IPs isn't a small task unless you're sitting on a load of good reputation IPs that are pre-warmed up.
I think a scrubbing service would be the only way to help or of course, having enough resources to deal with it directly (bandwidth, cpu, etc).

Sounds like you need to touch grass.
I see - the issue with my solution is that the interval will reset whenever the deps array changes, starting over the delay? The implicit "state" of the time left before the next tick is destroyed when the effect re-runs - instead this should persist.

> there are several other things that are really wrong or misleading in the article

When I see generalization about a ton of stuff I instantly get suspicious about such claims. The article cannot be as wrong as you're trying hard to portray it.

> it's a research project in itself to correct all the misinformation there

You're really a fan of "misinformation". Sorry, the guy who wrote it, has been using Linux for more than two decades and is trying to be as unbiased and factual as possible. Looks like you're just too invested in Linux and you've been personally shaken that such an article even exists in the first place.

> Wayland sits at a level below the toolkit, it is an implementation detail in the toolkit. You're supposed to build toolkits on top of it. It wouldn't be feasible (or even wanted) to move the toolkit inside Wayland.

What's wrong with this claim exactly? You're not disproving it in the slightest, you are _explaining_ why it has been done the way it's been done. Most people don't give a damn about it.

Most 32bit Windows applications continue to run in Windows 11 26 years later. Linux, be it X11, Wayland or Mir, has no alternative to that. Yes, the author wants some LTS API for graphics, do you have anything to add to that? How does having Qt/Gnome/EFL/etc even address the issues shown in the article like inability to configure all the toolkits font rendering and other features simultaneously?

Had we had a low lever API akin to Win32 which toolkits like e.g. Gnome/Qt could be built upon, that would have never been an issue, meanwhile Linux developers continue to reinvent the wheel and _not_ provide universal solutions which allow to build software on top of it which will work for decades without recompilation.

You really don't see where the author comes from, yeah, Windows, where software can be developed and work for decades.

Just don't start BS'ing me with "everything could be recompiled for $next versions of Gnome/Qt" - this has _not_ been the case, we've lost hundreds of GTK 1/2, Qt 1/2/3/4 applications which no one wants to port to newer toolkits.

Actually please don't bother with your "refutations". I see where you're coming from and I'm sure you'll continue in the same vein which is "Linux is built differently, get used to it".

I can, I have but ISVs and game developers will _not_. If you're OK with no commercial software and AAA games for Linux, absolute most average people are _not_. They want to play native games and run native Adobe/Autodesk/etc. software under Linux.

I can imagine you could be content with having always incomplete layers of emulation and VMs which further prove that other OSes like Windows are built and designed better, since Win32 APIs are so easy to emulate.

Had you started differently I'd have been glad to continue arguing with you but you've used the meanest and dirtiest words to describe the work put into the article which is an instant turn off and a clear indication that you might have a superiority complex.

I’ve also been using this service, but I generally think such forums are unlikely to lead to success. A cofounder is someone you’ll presumably be spending more time with them as you do with a partner or spouse. The “matching services” are basically dating services, with way, way fewer people in the pool. Meeting “the right person” there would be surprising to begin with, and then add in the expectations that some people seem to have that you’re going to go from meeting to marriage in a matter of a few conversations.

The way I’m thinking about it is that it’s useful to see how people present themselves, to meet other people in the same early-stage position, and to participate in an ecosystem that is oriented around learning. In the meantime, I’m trying to make progress understanding the customer and market, getting the input of developer friends I’ve worked with in the past, and doing fake-out prototyping so I’ll be ready to move quickly when I develop the relationship with a collaborator. This will likely be someone I already know, but it’s great to keep discussing it with new people too, if only to refine my thinking.
“steal or forge”

There is a huge difference between those two. Would be interesting to know how much was “forged.” At one point I thought they tried to vet the dumps pretty well to maintain credibility.
My personal gripes with RSS:

* No pagination, and in practice it's very inconsistent how many recent posts are included. This makes the feeds only useful for new things, not as an archive.

* I don't actually want the full post content in the main feed, a description for every item would suffice. For a blog like WaitButWhy, the RSS XML is huge.
I'm not really sure where the giant leaps are.

Fact 1: Tesla is attempting to develop a self-driving system that is based on machine learning.

Fact 2: Training machine learning systems requires training data. Having large amounts of real training data is highly desirable.

So a single step?

I'm sure that Tesla also benefits from being able to defend against false claims that would tarnish their image[1], but please don't be disingenuous about their machine learning goals.

HN is literally advertising for a VC firm. That’s why it exists and what it is. If you ban ads from the internet, you’re banning HN.

Not to hijack this thread, but the search is now powered by Algolia custom crawler (still Docsearch but used to be a custom scrappy implem), it should match previous high level of expectation, but we'll appreciate any feedback on the relevancy.
Why does fiber have lower latency to the exchange than copper? That surprises me.

I thought that ISPs generally run fiber for most of the distance, and coax is only used for the last few hundred meters. The speed of signal propagation is actually faster in copper than fiber, but nobody (afaik?) does long runs over copper so it’s a moot point.
Thanks, I haven't looked for one around yet but I'm sure there's one and its probably a good place. Good advice.
> 4. Baldwin was told he had a "cold gun", which was clearly wrong. This had happened earlier on the set, and nothing was done to correct the problem.

That makes it sound like Baldwin was a victim of others' negligence. But he's not just an actor but the producer, so the buck for repeated safety violations stops with him.
It would be fun to try to add a predictive layer to this:

- Given the score and what each person has just played predict what the next few sounds are going to be
- Given a high frame rate video stream of a person predict what the next note to be played

In the same way that Nvidia has extremely low bandwidth but high resolution video enabled by face keypoint tracking and facial reconstruction / puppeteering maybe there's a place for prediction and/or sound reconstruction from extremely low bitrate streams.*

* Obviously not the exact usecase here since a premium is being placed on not processing, but still fun to think about.
I wanted to buy at $2 but got caught in a series of personal issues and didn't have the time. There went my only chance of ever making any serious money. I had a feeling things were going well, just not this well.

After all AMD went to 30+, then dropped to 18 and stayed there for a while. As I said above, I really don't get it. Almost blind luck I made any money at all.
The Mars process is the Sabatier process, rather than Fischer-Tropsh, and reuslts in methane (and water) rather than heavier alkanes (petroleum-analogue hydrocarbons).

I've identified many cases in my employer's codebase that are something like:

items = fetch_list_from_db()
for item in items:
if item.match(param):
..
elif item.whatever > param2 || item.override:
..
else:
some_default_behavior()
return custom_sort_thing(results)

In each instance, the logic is critical to business function and frequently evolving, but often underspecified, hard to audit, and each case has its own little missing features.

Prolog allows me to very easily state these rules in a way others can understand at a glance and keep them separate from the operational code. Best of it all, it solves for all possible answers (or all inputs for a given answer) without implicitly stating very much looping or recursion - even less so than functional languages in some cases.
Who is anyone to speak for the entire world? But we still get to speak.

I always love a classic hacker news take where software engineers are the only people who can understand how things work. It's not like high school dropouts are ever car mechanics.
Question for Tesla owners: is it possible to opt out of such telemetry? I like the cars but find the idea of being closely tracked and monitored very creepy.
> I can't move out of London so that I can afford a place with a dedicated study/office room because "hybrid working"

Factoring in what you've said, you don't have access to a dedicated environment and don't see how to make moving out further to afford the dedicated space a possibility. That makes it clear to take advantage of the space your employer is offering you then. Go into the office.

If you don't want to commute into the office every day, the other replies below are the path. Instead of commuting 30 mins each way into the office M-F move further out, commute 1 hour each way but on Monday & Friday. You're still spending less time in a week commuting but now live further out.
