Wow, as someone who hit their mid thirties and basically decided the same thing congratulations!

Do you have a next one in mind? Or are you going to see what the reception for this one is first?

I must admit I focused on game jams to start, I've tried going down this road a few times before with little success. Having managed to complete a jam game has given me enough confidence to try and build something small which I can slowly add to. My aim is to have a playable, if very likely ugly prototype ready by the end of the month. Followed by a bunch of requisite refining and iteration.
Ask HN: How did Python become the lingua franca of ML/AI?
I've looked around a bit and can't really find a satisfying answer to this question. There are posts on answer sites, but these often boil down to "dynamic languages are good at glue", or "Tensorflow / Jupyter".

That can't be the whole story, can it? Or if it is, why did these projects choose Python over other scripting lanuages?

I bet there's some interesting history here.
I'm writing an operating system, its build system, a verifier for it, and writing docs, usually switching often between them. I wish I had that much screen space.

> Utility scale PV fields in the US southwest today cost $0.89/W(dc) installed

That's just not realistic. Not at scale. And, of course, you have to have batteries or the entire thing is pointless. The issue with electric car charging is stressed by power demand. In other words, calculating energy alone does not solve the equation. If you want to charge your electric car in 2 hours vs. a slow 12 hour charge you will need at least six times more power at the socket.

Remember that at higher power (generally meaning, higher current) the power losses increase with the square of the current. Fast charging requires more power than the simple ratio of (time_for_slow_charge/time_for_fast_charge) due to these losses. Super simple hypothetical numbers: If you slow charge at 1 A for ten hours and want to fast charge at 10 A in one hour, your copper losses (energy lost to heating the wires that get the electricity to the plug) are proportional to the square of the current times the resistance of the wiring.

Example:

0 AWG wire can carry 150 A.

It has a resistance of 0.093 ohms per 1000 feet

At 100 A, the loss over a 1000 foot run is: 100 x 100 x 0.093 = 930 W. Almost 1 kW.

This is not meant to be a calculation of actual charging of a vehicle. It's just an illustration of what happens as we face the reality of millions of vehicles fast charging and slow charging on an infrastructure that simply isn't designed to support what we would need to do. I don't even want to think about how much power would be converted into heat on the grid in this all-electric future. Things people just don't talk about when electric cars are put up on a pedestal as examples of a clean "green" future.

> The Fourth Amendment is a law, and it's reasonable to say that purchasing what is (arguably) the company's data is still tantamount to a search of our "effects".

Got any precedents for this? All examples given in this thread was about the government forcing companies to hand over data, not companies just plain selling it to the government. These companies are already selling this data to other companies, like credit score companies gets a lot of data from banks, so to them selling it to the government as well is just another buyer. Does the fourth amendment really apply to cases like this? My hunch is that it does not, and you wont find any such cases since it is so clear that it doesn't apply that it hasn't even reached a court.

> Nuclear as baseload remains very useful. What's more, we don't just seek to replace current capacity but also to quickly increase generation.

The problem is that Nuclear may not be economical if it is only used when both solar and wind run out. Nuclear has large fixed costs. And almost zero marginal costs. So the average costs -- what needs to be charged in order to avoid bankruptcy, increase as you use it less.

That means every solar panel you add makes the nuclear power a bit more expensive. And that incentivizes adding more solar. Up until you drive the nuclear out of business, and then suddenly you don't have reliable power anymore.

Then you are faced with a situation of

a) only having nuclear power which can provide for all of your needs, in which case adding solar is an unnecessary expense

b) only having solar+wind and an unreliable grid, which means you need to add batteries to cover solar+wind. And the price of those batteries may be more than the price of the nuclear plant.

c) having nuclear and solar both, with enough subsidies given to the nuclear plant to keep it in business so that the total solution is more costly than just going with nuclear.

So yeah, there really is a tension between nuclear and solar.

This is not the situation, however, with solar and coal. Because coal plants are damn cheap, and they have higher marginal costs. Thus solar can coexist with coal or with gas much better than with nuclear.

Therefore the economics is such that as people promote solar the result is a decrease in nuclear and an increase in coal and gas.

> I think most people would agree that the government needs a warrant to obtain this information, even if the bank was willing to sell it anyway.

I don't think it is legal for banks to sell their balance information to other private entities either. But if it were, then I think it would be permissible for the government to be one of the buyers.

Your interpretation of 4A is not backed by any legal precedent.
Lack of wind and solar can happen but at scale there is plenty of hydro energy stored to cover significant edge cases. Rivers can handle significantly more flow than current hydro releases without causing flooding, we just need to retro fit existing dams and then reduce their generation most of the time to reserve that capacity for when it’s needed. Aka averaging 6.6% over 365 days a year ~= 80% for 30 days.

Also, be careful when looking at wind and solar minimal percentages. It’s the difference between median output and minimum output that matters not maximum output. Long term it’s likely something like 30 to 50% of all solar generation is going to be wasted simply because it’s just that cheap.

Exactly. And it also points out how hard it would be for Apple to extract those fees, which conceivably would be difficult indeed.

Apple could just deny publishing your app if you didn't sign an agreement requiring you to pay 30% of your externally sourced revenue via your iOS app but the enforcement would now become (mostly) manual, whereas with IAP, compliance with the fees are unavoidable as they all go through Apple's software

> Were you following the Bernie campaign?

Sorry, I can only put it this way: Bernie is a moron. So are AOC and everyone pushing socialist utopia. Letting these people have control would be a disaster.

Having lived the real-life reality these people are pushing I can tell you Americans who support this have no clue what they are standing behind. I have lots of friends who have lived in and experienced these realities at various levels and in different countries. Do you know why they are in the US? Because they wanted to get as far away from that crap as possible. They cannot believe American academics and politicians have actually convinced people that these are good ideas. Not one --not a single person-- who actually lived it would say this is good for the US or, in general, humanity.

Some of the things he says sound great. Of course. Who doesn't want free everything for everyone? And yet, once you implement such things, it ends-up being a massive train wreck.
There's an old saying that you can tell developer maturity by the units of time they use for estimating code.

Only brand-new developers (and Sith?) estimate things in hours. Experienced devs estimate in days, but senior developers won't give you a number in increments smaller than weeks.

Also, any manager who trusts an estimate from a new employee or especially a new developer is an ass. They should have known better, and giving you grief about it is just doubling down on a category error. We've all had that experience, but I'd like it if we all learned to reframe such experiences as abusive. Especially if you're going to be in a position to repeat those sorts of experiences on a new generation. Break the cycle of stupid.
>It amazes me that we can't all just agree that this is real

The reactions of various pockets of humanity to climate change and COVID gives me the feeling that a study of the psychology of the "acceptance of ideas" is long overdue.

I used to be amazed, but not any more. It's predictable, no matter how illogical. Some kind of variation on "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction", "one man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter".

Bad news will not be accepted, by default, without extraordinary evidence, the messenger will be shot, and the source will be character assassinated. Good news will prevail until the (unexpectedly strong) dam of denial is breached by brutal reality. And it will surprise the masses.

Theoretical insurance doesn't help you when Airbnb will simply ignore you or close your claim without explanation. They have become completely predatory and incompetent towards hosts in the past few years. As soon as something goes wrong they will find a reason to deny your claim. Their support that handles these cases is clearly incentivized to close cases without payouts. The only way anyone sees any coverage from them is if they get social media famous and then they quietly sweep it under the rug and make them sign a non-disclosure agreement to get their payout.

Running the program at start isn't programming, it is putting it in a "run on start" location, helping users do that is a part of managing the project and not programming.

Figuring out what settings a user would want for it is also project management and not programming.

Starting/stopping is just starting and stopping the program, every OS already provides that functionality. Maybe someone would want a better UX, but then you are doing UX work and not programming work.

So I don't really see it, almost all of the "gotcha" cases he talked about aren't programming problems.

No one in the comment chain above me stipulated that the proposed violator was a foreigner. Most Airbnbs in the US are rented by domestic renters. And anyway, I'm only responding to the notion that civil action is the worst case scenario. That is plainly false.

Also, yea, you can commit minor crimes that don't rise to the level of extradition then skip town. That's always been the case. So? Who is going to go to the U.S., trash an AirBNB, risk getting charged with a crime and potentially banned for life from coming back? The people who trash AirBNBs are not the same people who can travel internationally, by and large.
I've been tested and I'm a borderline case. Not enough for a diagnosis.
I thought the whole issue with wind and solar is that the storage issue isn't yet solved. Nuclear on the other hand is 70 year old technology that is proven to be capable of being the majority energy source of a nation.
