I feel the same, vaguely, but enough to be disturbed and even disgusted by some versions of generative AI art. I think it's a version of the uncanny valley effect, by which we're looking at something that's trying to recreate perceptions of normal reality (even in exotic contexts like sci fi) but delivering something subtly skewed in so many ways.
If Twitter is the closest thing to a global consciousness we are all doomed as a species.

While an IR camera is a good tool (and terribly fun to use!), not everyone has one. Almost everyone has another tool that can be nearly as efficient though: a hand.

It's quite easy to use too: if something is warm when you touch it, it's burning through watts. If you expected it to be sleeping, it's either not sleeping or it's very bad at it. Don't forget the AC adapters, they can be worse than the devices they supply.
Even if you could, would it be worth the aggravation of the on/off wait to do this every time you finished with these devices to earn an extra £2.5 a month?

Things like energy, food and construction are our most basic needs. In the past, production of these were limited by available labor. Today that's not the case. So the same resources (eg. productive land and mining resources) have to be divided between more people.

You probably have seen it, but didn't realize you were seeing it. It powers the check out flow for many, many independent e-commerce websites. They don't brand it, so if you weren't oaying close attention to the details of the checkout flow ux, you wouldn't notice it. I became aware of it when I noticed that a bunch of online shops I use had exactly the same checkout UI.

I see private tutors enrolling kids into Khan Academy and helping them pass the Khan Academy math courses. You get tutor help for your child, at the same time get some formal credit in the process.

Khan Academy has very strong brand recognition.

Many parents pay to have their child tutored. Partially because the quality of math teachers in high school is random (some are very good, others are not). Partially because one on one help is always very useful.

There was that Canadian trucker protest where the idea was floated of de-banking them. At that point, a fungible asset worth a few thousand dollars that is a little hard to seize without a court order and serious police involvement would be exactly what they needed.

You have it right.

Many cheap always-connected smart devices use Low-dropout regulator (LDO). What does wiki say about these?

> The advantages of an LDO regulator over other DC-to-DC voltage regulators include the absence of switching noise (as no switching takes place), smaller device size (as neither large inductors nor transformers are needed), and greater design simplicity (usually consists of a reference, an amplifier, and a pass element). The disadvantage is that, unlike switching regulators, linear DC regulators must dissipate power, and thus heat, across the regulation device in order to regulate the output voltage.

See for example: https://templates.blakadder.com/athom_PG01EU16A.html

You can clearly see an AMS1117 (a super popular LDO), right next to the ESP board on lower right.

Most LDOs have a chunk of metal tinned to the board so that the copper layer can help with heat dissipation. You can quickly identify them by this design.

Here is another one on a dev board: https://hallroad.org/images/watermarked/thumbnails/465/465/d...

It depend on how well the jam is protected - most doors in the US are simple wood - shove a metal blade on a sawzall through the crack and cut the deadbolt in half - or the hinges.

Even the metal doors are usually pretty light metal. A true security door is very expensive - and heavy.
I'd want to see the specific proposal, but yeah, I'm definitely open to some idea like that.
The solution to high prices is simply increasing competition. Eliminate the patent system, remove government regulations and licensing (usually set up by entrenched businesses with regulatory capture), eliminate tariffs.
This is a really important insight and I think everyone should take note of it for pedagogy going forward for the next years

> No, you can’t save £30 per year by switching off your “standby” devices

I suspect this is probably true of modern devices with modern power supplies.

No doubt if you've got a house full of 10+ year old gadgets then they possibly have more inefficient power supplies.

Its likely worth considering modernising old kit because they'll be power-hungry during active use too, which will likely cost you a lot more than the £30 a year you'll save by turning them off overnight !
Their point about test coverage is that you don't know what syscalls will be made, or with what arguments, without running the program with enough coverage to find out.

This is probably the most well known issue with sandboxing - maintaining the sandbox. It's especially hard with seccomp, because you could upgrade your distro, or a dependency, and suddenly you're making a different system call.
>My disagreement lies in the fact that you've described the problem, but are proposing that some software (SELinux) that fails to solve the problem is somehow good.

My opinion is that there's a cultural and policy problem and you're simply not going to solve it with technology. I don't think SE Linux is bad, it just isn't the answer here. One (clearly not the only) main reasons people just run a bunch of software they don't understand is due to expectations in productivity. In an idealistic world with caution built in, we are willing to sacrifice some productivity for security, stability, understanding, etc. I think many engineers like these ideas because they like to work with and build solid systems they understand very well--otherwise they wouldn't be practicing any form of engineering.

What we instead have is a world of engineering with no sort of guard rails. Unlike Civil Engineering, there's no licensing, no sorts of inspections, no oversight, liability is completepy waived in a 300 page agreement people just click through, etc. Even when things go horribly wrong (e.g. Equifax) the repercussions are limited. We see abuse in other engineering fields where actual life and death are factors and they're still just amortized in a cost analysis.

Ultimately though engineers simply don't lead the world (and arguably,
maybe they shouldn't) , people with wealth lead the world (arguably, they shouldn't either) because it underpins pretty much all other systems anymore. As such, productivity is always prioritized over safety and security. This issue isn't limited to software, it happens everywhere almost ubiquitously at this point. Software is one of those areas where most people just care less, so you can get away with more and more of this. The issue is that I believe we're building a house of cards that will be difficult to revert to a reasonably stable state once it finally collapses.
The politicians who want to avoid the worst consequence of climate change are ostriches, and the politicians who advocate in favor of worsening climate change are the non-ostriches?

We know that climate change is threatening to make massive areas of land uninhabitable, change weather patterns in ways which will massively increase water scarcity in large parts of the world, cause droughts which will be devastating for food production, put coastal regions under water, etc. don't you think that these effects would cause war and mass starvation?
Compared to selinux, though, the systemd documentation is excellent, and the tools for observing the state of the system are very good.
I use a ZWave light switch in our bedroom that can trigger "scene" commands on a double/triple tap. A double tap at night fires a scene that tells Home Assistant to shut all the things off (and make sure the doors are locked, garage door is closed, HVAC is set correctly, etc). Double tap up in the morning turns stuff back on.
That wouldn't explain the increase in conservative numbers.

What seems more likely to me is left leaning people leaving the platform and right leaving people returning to it due to a perceived impending shift in the platforms policies and culture owing to the political views of the new owner.

> In the pre-Szaszian era, medicine was something that happened to you. You would put your health in your doctor's hands and they would unilaterally decide your course of treatment. But in today's patient-centered world, doctors are more like consultants

To be honest I've only seen this level of "patient-centered" stuff in the US. Never heard the phrase "Ask your doctor about xy" anywhere but on US TV. Sometimes pretty hard drugs like psychotropic drugs. When I first head it my response was "WTF, shouldn't the doctor tell you what you need and not the other way around?"

I guess it comes down to the batshit crazy US healthcare system and people losing trust in doctors that give them 40k$ bills for simple treatments or short hospital stays

The name also shows up occasionally as "Jude" (Jude Law, for example), which is fair given that there was another Apostle by that name. It's still far more often than you run into anyone called Pontius Pilate these days.
“I don’t have time to learn this tech that is critical to my job” is a very common sentiment in software and systems management.
Speakers are notoriously a specific case where power actually does get used in standby, so it doesn't really contradict the original article. For instance, an old BBC News article (not the one published today that probably triggered this submission) listed "TV on standby" as using lots of power but was actually including various peripherals including powered on external speakers. I would expect turning those off and leaving the TV on would use almost no power. If, as parent comment says, even the TV/monitor is using significant power, then that's a lot more interesting.
Wait, how does this happen if you aren’t intentionally using it? Am I about to die from fentanyl overdosing?
I think it's due to the huge hype around chrome among developers back then. Each tab as separate process was huge. It also has built-in dev tool, and v8 being actually fast excites a lot of devs and drove them away from firefox. So when nodejs was released, a lot of people already know what v8 is and have positive impression of it, probably enough to nudge them to try nodejs.

On the other hand, I never heard of Rhino until now.
500W of "idle" power consumption is waaaay too high, in my experience. That's my average rate when I have everything on.

Granted, I live in a place where AC is not needed and use laptops instead of PCs to work on. ~$40/month is my total electriciy bill (I'm on the lowest end, I know).
Magic's all time money leader is Paulo Vitor Damo da Rosa (PVDDR). He is a hall of fame player who has been playing professionally for 19 years. He's won just over a million dollars in that time frame.

That's the equivalent of making around $57k a year.

They're doubling the prize purse for the Pro Tour this year. So, at best, someone could make $2 million with the same results over the same time frame.

Red Bull Untapped had a prize purse of $200,000. That's $50,000 less than the old Pro Tour had. Not to mention, that's the entire purse.

If you won an offline qualifier and the finals, you would have won $30k.

For contrast, the NFL pays $75,000 to each player on the losing team in the Super Bowl. That's outside of their normal salary. That's money paid to the players by the league itself (from a pool of money collected from the member clubs). And playoff bonuses go all the way down. If you're a wild card team who loses in the wild card round, that's $37,500 per player.

Being the 7th seed and getting bounced in the first game of the NFL playoffs pays better than winning the entire Red Bull series.

And that's ignoring that the NFL playoff bonuses are pure extra.

There is not "real money" there. It's at best amateur league.
I have found that dental clinics in the US can be some of the shadiest health related businesses you have to deal with.

There are few independent clinics around. Most of them belong to huge corporate conglomerates that push down shady treatments like this, or offer predatory financing for these “treatments”.

I’ve had only two instances of a health professional outright lying to me and telling me I had a health condition that I didn’t have, and both times were dentists. One of those times was also about periodontal disease, so it seems like this is a common thing.

A good heuristic is that if the treatment isn’t covered at all by insurance it very well might be worthless.
A bridge, even a fancy modern one, is pretty simple compared with the software running on a 90s-era computer, much less a modern computer. Fizzbuzz is probably about equivalent to building a simple engine out of a box of parts.

>> The whole container movement can be seen as putting the apps in a sarcophagus like Chernobyl. […] Who is responsible that it is air tight? Well, uh, nobody, really.

> The people who designed the container/sarcophagus system.

Original comment misses two nuances with the gripe.

1. Container creators and software creators are not the same people. So they can (and should!) have different goals and priorities. For containers, security and reliability. For software, make it work.

2. There is a nuanced, different interface between software-system and container-system, created by encapsulating a system-like environment inside the container. Much of what software does can be encapsulated. Which allows a more controlled (and much smaller) subset to exit the container.
I think the key advantage of this kind of method is that rather than proceeding at a single pace, the students can stay on a topic until they master it, and then move on. It's kind of a way of ensuring every student gets at least a 90% in a course, but the amount of time it takes them to get there can vary.

While this is obviously a little more difficult in a classroom format, I have seen it done in the 80s completely offline for math where the whole grade of students take a bunch of pretests at the beginning of the year (including the tests for the prior year material) and then are assigned to two week groups or classes for the topics they need. After two weeks, they get a post test. If they haven't passed at 90%, they stay in that topic until they complete it. If they have, they move on to the next topic. It got a little complicated as a few people were in groups that went down to one person after a while, and they were just giving me worksheets and then I would ask if I had a question, but I was able to proceed at more than 2x the normal pace for a few glorious years.

So, maybe doing the Khan Academy thing in the building, where you have a supervisor there to keep kids on task and prevent cheating, as well as ample people to whom one can ask questions, could be a net improvement.
> If you don’t have a Kill-a-Watt device, you would at least feel 100W waste heat.

You would not, 100W not that much heat unless the room is very hot or it’s blown straight into your face (but even middling desktops tend to have very large fans, and will generally send the heat away from you, either towards a wall or to the ceiling directly).

100W is about what a human produces at rest.
Browsers are the least important part. People use ordinary JPEG because that's what their cameras produce without asking and that also is what they can just click and open on all their PCs/whatever using their default picture viewer app. E.g. WebP still opens a browser when you click it and that's weird.
I explicitly chose to not work on offensive technologies like missiles or drones because I didn't want to be associated with potential misuse. I don't think a lot of people on HN have a good perspective of the DOD to understand why certain mission critical technologies are necessary for the defense of our soldiers and our own people. At the same time though, there is a lot of bloat and I would argue from what I've seen that it mostly stems from contractors more than actual government employees.
Agree, 500w of nothing is INSANE in 2022 are you sure. Please list brands.
> Laser bacterial reduction (LBR) is just one example of the many high-stakes medical decisions

Whether or not to drop $400 is not a "high-stakes medical decision". Also, expecting Google to give you high-quality medical advice when your actual, licensed, trained dental hygienest is not is asking a lot of a search engine.

Personally I've found sticking "examine.com" on the end of most results to be very useful for anything supplement-related, and "reddit.com" as a suffix pretty good for anything else.

If PostgreSQL is to SQL what the browser is to HTML then what is X to SPARQL.
One of the reasons why I don't think X "exists" is because it's not a good way of working with graph.

The you can't see out of your own country is a rhetorical trick to make people question themselves and feel bad. People say the same things about US cabs before Uber, but somehow when taking hundreds of them I never noticed I was supposed to be in hell. Instead I met a lot of nice cab drivers from places I've only read about. My worst experiences were when annoying ones were too talkative when I was tired because they heard somewhere that it would raise their tips (and it probably does.) That didn't go away with Uber.
