That's not what people mean when they say "decentralised power generation". They are thinking of power generated where it is used. That doesn't mean the nuclear power plant or coal at a safe 50km away you are alluding to. Only one thing can do it - solar, producing power 10 metres from where it is used. Right now solar doesn't work either because you need storage. The only storage that works for domestic solar is batteries and they are too expensive right now.

It's likely batteries will always be too expensive for bulk grid storage. But retail customers pay about 3 times the grid price. If batteries half in price solar + storage become price competitive with grid generation. We don't have decentralised generation now, but if that happens it will pop up like weeds everywhere.

As it happens, I have a house battery. And as it happens, it flooded here last week, cutting mains power. We were the only house in the street for a while with the lights on. Our 5kWh battery and 7kW solar system surprised me. Normal activities were curtailed, obviously. But even when it was pissing down rain in the middle of a downpour causing a once in 50 year flood, with the solar working at 15% capacity it was still enough to drive everything bar heating and aircon. Turns out the bulk of our electricity consumption can but turned off with only minor inconvenience.

We are paying $100/mo for electricity now. If I installed another 10kWh of battery, that would drop close to $0, and I could sell power too. Which made me look up current battery prices. To my surprise, a 10kWh battery only costs $5,000. You do the math - the age or truly decentralised generation isn't too far away.

Mind you, having nuclear as a backup would be nice. Up till now it's been far, far too expensive. No one in their right mind would fund a new conventional nuclear plant, which is why no one has been building them. This is the first proposal I've seen in a while that came in at what might be a workable price. I wish it luck, but they haven't built the first one yet, and history generally isn't kind to the producers of cost estimates for the first off the block large engineering efforts.

You may just have less of a background / less fluency with the tools you're using than your coworker does.

I'd try focusing 100% on getting the task at hand done while at work, but noting areas that are difficult for you and then doing some experimentation and side study on those areas after you get home. In order to make it at your first software job in a new industry, you'll possibly have to put 2 hours a night into self-directed learning.

Ehh, I wouldn't put too much stock in graphs of "relative performance" on a 0-200 scale like these. Marketing can cook up whatever they like when they want to make a product look good. Wait for actual benchmarks before trying to judge the product. Their base claim is >2x the m1 max, which is still nowhere close to the performance of a 3090.

Apple's footnotes don't even pretend to explain what these charts are.

> Performance was measured using select industry‑standard benchmarks.
It was similar in Russia back in 90s and early 00s, when anti-piracy enforcement was almost non-existent.

Where search advertising works well for me is 'service' related advertising.

As an example I have a burst pipe and I need to call a plumber out to my house. 10 years ago I'd go to the physical phone book and look up a plumber to call. I don't do that anymore now I type "my suburb name + plumber" into my browser.

Where it does not work well is because I searched for the term 'plumber' every site I visit in my browser for the next few days will display ads for plumbing supplies. Or I'll scroll through Facebook on another device (like my phone) and the plumbing ads will follow me there.

The first type of advertising is useful, the second type feels creepy and like the internet is stalking me.

I see that the official Apple specs mention "support for 5 displays" and the tech specs state:

"Support for up to four Pro Display XDRs (6K resolution at 60Hz and over a billion colors) over USB-C and one 4K display (4K resolution at 60Hz and over a billion colors) over HDMI"

... so I am very pleasantly surprised there ... >4k resolution on the four Thunderbolt ports and then a bonus 4k port via HDMI.

The same question arises as with the mac mini: Why can't the additional (leftover) ports be used for even more displays ? In this case, there are two more ports on the front (either USB-C or TB4) that can handle a display - why is that not possible ?
Single core does not appear any better than m1 mini.

I can right now (ok, in the morning actually) walk into a computer store across the road here and buy 3090 off the shelf for 2299..2499€ (different makes and models). Those are in stock and physically on the shelf. Same for lesser cards of same series or AMD RX6000.
I don't think there's a way to make the court of law and the court of public opinion align perfectly on every decision. The dichotomy between the court of law and the court of public opinion is inherent to American society- that's how it's supposed to work.

Amendments 4-8 more or less codify the notion that one can only be punished for measurable harms, of which one is clearly the culprit (or at least that's how it's supposed to work). "Innocent until proven guilty" and all that stuff.

In contrast, the court of public opinion works off of a free-flowing, sometimes contradictory set of widely-held virtues. That means that the court of public opinion can hold people accountable based on virtues that aren't codified into law. That's not always a bad thing; in fact, it's the entire engine of social progress.
Assuming we're using a shared definition of polite, I disagree!

> having or showing behavior that is respectful and considerate of other people.

You can be polite while not facilitating the counterparty in a way that's useful to you but in the short term feels like you're giving up something. People often can't get past that temporary feeling of losing so they don't venture into it.
If you want to brain drain Russia, it would help to not e.g. block Aeroflot flights from Russia.
To be honest:
What does this endless list of sanctions actually achieve in terms of ending the war, now?

Sadly, it does more look like a luxurious decadent virtue-signalling circus from the viewpoint of India, Brazil or China.
... Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Netflix, Facebook ... to the point of rendering this a joke: Oh, actually, how good for them!

The hard problem no one is trying to tackle is having the actual balls to start peace negotiations, like forcing a main player like China to the table:
Look, here are our nukes, now, let us sit and cease fire for the moment: What is that you (Putin) want, again?

Even if Putin is totally mad (unlikely), at least we assume the Chinese, or the Rest of the non-sanctioning World are more or less rational actors? So where is the cold-blooded intellgentia of diplomacy in the West?
Our Eastern counterparts are way ahead of the curve continuously refining their cost-benefit-analysis, game theoretical approach, engineering mindset, being careful not hurting themselves economically in the long-run.

I'm not sure that was the original point. If extracting oil results in $x of long term damage to the local environment, but that cost isn't passed along, it makes economic sense to buy oil from somewhere else so you don't end up footing that bill. Sure it would be better overall if that other place could extract oil without that cost but that doesn't make the decision less rational even if that environmental cost is as much or more than it would be to extract it locally.
Most of the bright people who could potentially come up with a major breakthrough would rather make >= 10x the money working as quants for hedge funds, software engineers/data scientists/product managers at FAANG or other adtech, or developing copy-and-paste pump and dump shitcoins named after Elon Musk's dog.

Yes, sanctions left in place too long will do this. We will need to find a path to removing them soon or we lose this lever. Once that happens it will take a lot of power to avoid the greedy path of reintegrating with.

> BREAKING - Pentagon response to Poland's proposal on jets: "We will continue to consult with Poland and our other NATO allies about this issue and the difficult logistical challenges it presents, but we do not believe Poland’s proposal is a tenable one.”

- Phil Stewart (Military & Intelligence Correspondent@Reuters)
it isn't really a great comparison because while land borders are clearly defined and the military can easily march up and repel some invader, that's not the case for digital attack surfaces.

Every company's IT looks different, it's hard to tell whether an attack is private or state sponsored, often where or who it is originating from, and how to defend against it varies from case to case.

So it's hard to imagine what exactly it is that the government is supposed to do at a company level. Of course at an ISP level or when it comes to national infrastructure the government can do things, but I don't see how the government protects a middle-sized business from cyber attacks.

The government could probably do a lot of preventative things like sponsoring and funding security audits of open source software, but when some hackers exploits my broken config or some API it's not clear to me how the government is supposed to prevent that. They can't read every line of source code in the country.

I know Nvidia has never really care much about TDP, but this still seems unbelievable to me. How could a relatively new design beat a 3090 with 200W less power, while having to share a die with a CPU? It just doesn't seem possible.

> The audio fakes are too "clean" (too defined breaks between words and no background noise) and sound like caricatures.

The lack of background noise alone was a pretty instant key for me. And adding realistic background noise, appropriate echo/reverb that would match (even roughly as one-on-one conversation vs podium at press briefing) the room they are speaking in aren't even things you need deepfake for and would be simple audio post-processing.
I've heard that USB C is inferior too but shouldn't this be a settled issue one way or the other ( whether Lightning is superior or USB C is superior ) especially on HN. Either it is or it isn't. Charging is way too important to be left to the whims of some European regulator looking to penalize Apple. I have no preference in the matter and just want something that is superior in performance.

I wouldn't overthink this, no ones expecting a new hire to instantly pick up the codebase. You mentioned you only got generic advice from the other developer, did you ask generic questions? It's difficult to answer vague questions. Most importantly I wouldn't extrapolate your experience at this company to sweeping generalizations about how smart you are - there's close to 0 correlation.

Just focus on breaking down problems into manageable chunks. I can't emphasize this enough. As for FastAPI specifically I'd check out the sample postgresql project tiangalo made, it's incredibly well put together.

The alternative is direct military aid to Ukraine.

But the West is too afraid to fight. So it'll keep pushing for sanctions, which it can later point at and say, "see, we did something!"

It's the same as with any public discourse these days. If your audience is practically infinite, you have to have an extreme and attention-grabbing viewpoint, otherwise you're just one in a sea of many. If you're only talking to a handful of people, be it in real life or on social media, you don't need the extremism and can afford moderate opinions and nuance.

I still have my first-gen SE and it's my primary phone, the battery have started to show its age. I am also experiencing the problems you mention with the home-button being worn out, in humid conditions it will press without me pressing it, I've sort-of solved it by using the on-screen home-button (I haven't found a way to tell iOS to ignore the hardware button).

It's the perfect size of a phone, I've considered seeing if someone can replace the battery and the home-button.
I'm not sure what your complaint with this particular piece is. it seemed like a coherent and well explained argument that the current interpretations of quantum mechanics might just be a blind alley caused by starting from the wrong mathematical foundations - you needn't agree, and the author themself admits that most physicists wouldn't either - but it's not by any means clickbait; it delivers exactly what the title promises.
I was excited to see a service like this. I hate data brokers and have tried to go to somewhat-great (good?) lengths to obfuscate my personal info, including using e-mails that expose services selling/giving out my info. I signed up and was surprised to see 202 different brokers were offering my info. However, when I looked at the "More Info" drop-down on each, I noticed the last name was incorrect. So I looked at my profile and noticed I misspelled my last name, to a last name I am almost certain does not exist.

Even if it somehow existed, to see it with the same first and middle name and location just seems way too much of a coincidence. Do any of these brokers really have my info or are you just showing this false information to help increase conversions?
The Mac Pro (and the high-end Powermacs that preceded it) were always available in a dual socket incarnation, right up to the trashcan Mac.
I bought the first android phone, the G1, back in the day.

It had a peculiar bug where the entire phone would slowdown if you had too many text messages stored, among other things. A factory reset would fix it though.

A bit disappointing that solution still needs to be a thing.
You might want to have a look at Spodcast which does just that, create an RSS feed off Spotify "(s)podcasts":

Spodcast is a caching Spotify podcast to RSS proxy. Using Spodcast you can follow Spotify-hosted netcasts/podcasts using any player which supports RSS, thus enabling the use of older hardware which is not compatible with the Spotify (web) app. Spodcast consists of the main Spodcast application - a Python 3 command line tool - and a PHP-based RSS feed generator. It uses the librespot-python library to access the Spotift API. To use Spodcast you need a (free) Spotify account. Spodcast only supports the Spotify podcast service, it does not interface with the music streaming service.

Thanks for the response (and to others too). In retrospect my point wasnt clearly made. I think somw have understoof but not others.

To spell it out further - My concern is google effectively becoming essential internet infrastructure here - the only reason i see for them to support such a process is a view that they can charge a for profit service for the same in the future (though may still remain free to some). In the past the internet has been a free, open, equitable and low cost platform. Googles interest as a commercial company is not to stop ddos altogether but to commodotise and profit from it. Is that the internet we are heading towards? Are there better alternatives?
