Because nowadays p.v. is cheap enough to heat enough water with far less maintenance costs and potential issues, at least that's my choice: I was undecided for a bit of time if going p.v. only or p.v. + thermal and in the end:

- with p.v. I'm formally less efficient BUT in winter/cold but still sunny days my p.v. peak at a certain time for a certain time and my water heater start full power when there is enough energy, a solar thermal system take time to reach a sufficient temperature to make water (glicole) flow;

- almost no external maintenance, just panels and wires, no leaks or freeze risks, no pipes etc;

- no extra energy to make heat transfer fluid flow, witch means no pump, actually my heater is just an isolated "bowl" with a heat pump + classic electrical resistance and a big spiral pipe inside, so I have even no pressurized tank issues (water expansion) nor legionella problems etc;

- for my needs 300l of waters heat also in the winter enough 100% on p.v. except if more than two days without Sun, overall cost is very limited, potentially I can use the optional thermal solar integration with a classic wood burning stove to heat water in emergency conditions.

Why bother for thermal solar? With a big pool I understand but except for such case in witch solar anyway can't suffice for more or less large part of the year...
You use case back press or similar tool to remove it if you don't want scratches. Just like with a iPhone you can always use knife if you don't care.
But it's not. The article did a crap job of explaining this.

You buy the battery for the same $69 that an in store replacement costs. You then get a $24 credit when you return the old battery. Apple covers this shipping cost too.
Is this true? And if so, how long has The Verge been like this? I was always fond of the quality of their video productions (to make no judgment of their reviews).
I can’t help but notice how you talk about your family.

I don’t think size, kids, proximity, or frequency of visits is universal; there’s going to be lots of differences between people. But I think everyone benefits from knowing there are at least a few people in the world that they care about and that care about them.

I find some of the people in the comments that believe lots of people are destined to die alone, should commit suicide, or have AI companions instead pretty disturbing, frankly. I think trying to relate to others, even if only a few people, is a much better way to go about life that should be encouraged.

Why do you think that most viewers would get from an "image has filter" indicator?

I imagine most people _know_ when a filter has been applied.

Image modification via filters / sliders / tools are built into the product and a core part of the user-generated content creation loop, at this point any image on instagram is expected to have a filter applied.

Is there a threshold for "not reality"? Sharpening and color representation in digital images are already illusions.

What's your suggestion for images edited outside of the instagram app? I did not look for any statistics but if you take a cursory glance at the "explore" section of instagram, I'd argue that most of the images were taken with a DSLR or a camera not built into the device that posted the image. So it's likely those images went through some form of modification and enhancement.

If the concern is for viewers being deceived by these images, I think it more likely that viewers are deceived by the "story" behind the image, than the image itself.
Reasonable. But amusingly, I have the additional heuristic that sample size complaints mean that commenters don't understand statistics.

Not making fun of you. Just sharing what I thought was an interesting reaction I had to your comment: after all, it's a reasonable comment where this heuristic fails.
When we learn more about a stranger, we feel like they know us better because they do know the most important thing (to them) about us: that we are capable and willing to learn more about them.
It’s called an agent of limited authority. The cashier as an agent of the principal-merchant has limited authority to process transactions at the point of service, nothing more. When problems arise beyond that authority, they defer blame to the “tier above.” It’s a useful negotiating tactic.
I believe this only applies to a few sections—soda, chips, and magazines(?). Your produce and canned food aisles are stocked by the store employees, though the planograms for the shelving layout comes from corporate, sized for the store’s footprint. There may be some distributor input into those, such as cereal, but I’ve never seen those processes, only the resulting stock plan.
Isn't that roughly the same as literate programming, where all code related to one piece of functionality is grouped together, so that it can be read linearly as one block?

Right now, collectively we are optimizing for return on capital on a sliding scale, those who have the most capital get the highest returns (or if not a higher return, then lower risk for the same return).

Over longer time frames we see the pattern failing periodically when inequality gets too severe resulting in societal breakdown in the form of wars or revolutions that end up redistributing assets through various means, including less direct ones like increased labor costs, no matter who "wins".

I agree that’s true in general. But people can be in Rikers for months and sometimes years (average is over 9 months). So the capacity for the government to abuse prisoners is demonstrated: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2014/08/8-appalling-stories-...

I don’t think we should have private prisons, but the level of focus on them is about politics. It’s an issue that unifies the economic left, who support unions and oppose privatization but may or may not care about prisoner abuse, with the criminal justice movement.

But at the end of the day, most prisoners (over 90%) are not in private prisons, and there is little evidence that private prisons are worse than public prisons. The reality is that our government run, union-staffed prisons are really bad. But prisons are a major source of jobs, and public unions that represent prison employees are powerful—and Americans are punitive—so it’s difficult to tackle the real issues.
The “join domain” button still works in this build. Click Join Domain and it just has you create a local administrator account since it can’t handle joining a domain in OOBE (there’s a restart, and a lot of times the initial GPOs could interfere with the rest of the setup process).

2 weeks is maybe 6-8 cooked meals + leftovers, my partner and I will take maybe 15 minutes selecting 3-4 meals each from things we have cooked in the past or we would like to explore.

Going daily to the grocery store costs lots of more time. The vast majority of people do not live a 1 minute walk from a grocery store, even in dense urban areas.

There was a post a few days/weeks ago on HN showing Dall-E and human images, and it was quite obvious which was which.

>Western actions to save Ukraine and stabilize European security have, perhaps unwittingly, done their part to fuel an escalatory spiral with Russia

The West has already tried hard to avoid this "escalatory spiral" in 2014, that's why there's now a full-scale war.
Thanks for mentioning that Nightwish song. I hadn't listened to them in 18 years or so and I completely missed that they switched vocalists again. She's utterly amazing and her stage presence is formidable.
The question remains if they will be able to ship these to most nations. I have seen many small-medium sized companies only catering to EU/NA.

This is still a good move from them.
> there is a market for hand-made furniture but Ikea stuff dominates.

And boyyyyy is there a gap between these. I feel like I’m either paid $100 for shitty pressboard or thousands upon thousands for hardwood.

Thankfully, there are some decent pieces left from 50 or so years ago that are both solid and dirt cheap at thrift/antique shops.
Every single winter lots of people fall when walking or jogging.
There is also just the simple issue of how many people are working on these systems. Right now there is an Opensmalltalk VM change in the words -- SISTA -- that has the potential for a 3x speedup of those systems. But it's largely the work of one or two people and it's unfunded. They are working on it in their limited free time.

Additionally, there is a specific kind of dominant "computing culture" that we live in. Show a new language to mainstream developers and they will want to know how to do a "hello world" and which text editor / command line program to run in order to use it, as if these are the only ways to interact with a machine in any meaningful way. Anything outside of this seems like it's "not real programming".
This is also what happens when you buy and sell stocks or bonds, FWIW. Each sale is a taxable event, even if you receive payment in the form of a different stock or bond.
I read the article and felt similarly. That the verge was just whining and presenting in a really negative light.

The whole time I read It, I couldn’t help thinking “what do you want here? What’s the right thing?”

The product is complex and hard to work on. It would be nice if they were designed to be easier to work on, but they’re waterproof and meant to be drop resistant, etc.

I think it’s great they make these kits available and previously didn’t. That should be lauded. Would we rather Apple not release these handbooks and equipment?

"We're sorry your husband got a concussion, but at least his passenger felt safe!"

This isn't the 70s. Just give everyone helmets. Passengers included. And yes you should clean them. If you're running a business I'm sure you can afford some little bottles of alcohol spray.
Personally I do not care about efficiency: I can't sell energy I produce so the point is just heating the water and the load profile of a classic resistance and the load needs of my houses match normally to heat without the heat-pump (witch have a far limited life respect of a classic resistence)...

I use the heat pump mode only when there is little solar for few days where there is not enough overall energy production, otherwise being able to produce 120-130% of the overall consumption (of course ONLY when the Sun shine, so NOT independent as some sell just playing with absolute numbers) why care about efficiency? I can't use the extra energy anyway...
Oh, so like I do for TikTok? Easy.
> The 3/5ths compromise at the time was a compromise to have slaves considered as people with rights to vote while other states didn’t like that because it meant they were people.

If you think slaves in the US had the right to vote, I think you should sit this discussion out.
What the fuck are you talking about? The Renaissance medallion fund isn't open to the public and is no longer generating double digit returns as of 2020 or 2021. Much of their performance can be attributed to the fact that they just didn't pay their taxes. A $6.8 billion fine just doesn't cut it in the face how much money they were making. The Medallion fund saw $11 billion in net outflows due to low returns in 2021. Their funds that are open to the public regularly offer negative and low single digit returns annually. Please do tell us more about how efficient this market.

Much of this is true. However it doesn't really answer their question of why most trading bots aren't profitable. So you covered fees which really only affect mostly breakeven trades. That leaves out the trades with any real gains. If you have a bot making positive trades above the fee level (usually minor, like $2) then it's not a concern. The question becomes, why can't the bot achieve these profitable trades?

>The gist: On hotter nights people get less sleep, this being especially the case for people who are poor (limited access to AC?)

Forcing a large part of the world where noone has an AC to get an AC (at least those that can afford it) is going to do wonders for the environment.

I'm quite sensitive to heat and the quality of life improvements from an AC are immeasurable, though I live in an apartment and can't really get one (have a crappy portable one for emergencies). I suspect that the climate impact of the ACs are going to create a strong stigma against it where they are not strictly necessary.
Can you buy the $5 lighting port if your's has broken? Can you buy the $2 charging chip? Can you buy a microphone, a gyroscope, or any of the 50 individual electronic components for either phones, laptops or tablets? Can you at least by the micropone jack?

I rest my case.
Just because one person disagrees doesn't mean it isn't reasonable. I've met people who (claim to) believe the earth is flat, but surely no one would consider that belief "reasonable".

So I'm curious what the REASONING is behind your feeling that offering passengers the option to wear a helmet is unreasonable. Personally, I would AGREE that offering passengers on a pedicab the option of a pineapple would be unreasonable. There just isn't any practical correlation between pineapples and pedicabs. But helmets are different: there are large numbers of people who campaign vigorously to persuade others to wear helmets when on a bike; many places even have laws mandating helmets on bikes, at least for some ages. So it is a plausible thing for passengers to want. Given that, why would it be unreasonable to offer it?
Photography didn't replace visual art though (which is just as well for painters and sculptors really, the skill needed to operate an early camera was pretty orthogonal). A subset doing the grunt work of simply recording details for prosperity had a competitive alternative, but even in the subset of image production where photorealism is considered desirable, people still commission painters for "lifelike" portraits and Canaletto renderings of Venice are still worth a fortune despite a near infinitude of similar images on Instagram.

Same goes for this really, but perhaps even more so. It's impressive at producing eye-catching photos quality images of simple concepts you might use in advertising campaigns, and can do a good job of reproducing well defined cartoon styles. But the artists working in those sort of roles are already working digitally and using image libraries, and this is a massive productivity boost for them - dozens of "$brand on beach" concept images for no effort at all, and they'll still need all the retouching and layering and colour balancing and combining with other images. And as soon as the brief gets more precise about details of layout and colour scheme or what they want the model to look like, they're either back to their original creative flow or designing text prompts and curating images for the brief is an advanced skill in itself. Non artists can produce "good enough" images too (looks great for memes), but much like non-artists wielding cameras they're mostly satisfying their own whims rather than competing with the business of art
There’s a minimum “service fee” of $60 from FPL even if you only used $10 of energy.

I don't see how this is a problem: the maintenance of the electricity grid must be paid somehow, and this is more or less a flat, predictable cost. If you're coming from a situation where the maintenance was previously factored into the price of energy consumption (not a bad way), you're going to have to redesign your billing.

Are you arguing against a maintenance fee in general or just how much it costs?
I got a ‘human made’ image wrong because areas of detail became a smeary pattern. The problem was very likely caused by computer-made compression artifacts, and I wouldn’t be surprised if similar generational AI becomes part of immediate post processing of cell phone snapshots.

It makes me wonder, are models being unintentionally trained to produce jpg artifacts? How much better would a generator be if it had been trained on, say, pngs?
Shedding excess power is very, very easy for solar, especially as compared to any other power source. The MPPT can move away from the maximum power point. (Compare to, say, wind or hydro where moving a turbine away from its optimal speed and torque can be quite destructive without extreme care. I visited a small hydro installation with a monstrous space heater to dump power in the interval between when a load disappears and when valves can adjust to reduce the flow of water.)

I am curious how SolarEdge’s inverters reduce output, though. It’s not fundamentally hard, but the inverter does not have appear to have a particularly high speed data connection to the MPPTs, and I haven’t found the underlying mechanics documented anywhere. I’m guessing that the inverter pulls the incoming voltage down such that the MPPTs hit their preprogrammed output current limits and curtail production.

(SolarEdge’s system can’t just dump excess power into a battery — their common configurations have the battery behind a DC-DC converter with considerably lower capacity than that of the inverter’s output. The DC-DC can’t fully absorb the solar string’s output if the sun is shining and an island’s load goes away. The battery itself likely could, at least for a little while, but there isn’t any way for the power to get there.)
So now that they track risky behavior at the source, logically they can all wear helmets for increased safety.
Not a link, but many (most) David Lynch movies/shorts have a low background drone that is discomforting in an otherwise normal scene. It often changes tone with shot changes giving the impression that impending physical danger is approaching or receding but never comes.

More than almost any other director, his movies make me “feel” a particular way (mostly uncomfortable).
Absolutely agree, just thought it was interesting piece of evidence.

As a regular biker, close passes are also a smaller of my concerns compared to most of the other hazards on the road.

I have spent weeks of work time trying to track down DateTimes, work out their intended semantics, replace them with a user-defined type, and fix the resulting fallout when it turned out that people were relying on bugs. Unclear who thought it would be a good idea to have the same type mean all of "I don't know whether I have time zone relevance", "I am in UTC", and "I am in local time" depending on some runtime enum it contains.

My response to self-checkout is that it only works properly 50% of the time, and the other half I have to stand around looking befuddled before an employee waddles over to clear the error. Cashiers are evidently better at checkout than I am, and their labor is free-to-me, so self-checkout just seems like a raw deal with no upsides.
There's me trying to evaluate intent, context, talent -- when instead I should look for blurry edges. I imagine a future when AI is so sophisticated and human-like they're granted all the privileges of living, sentient beings but they're still clumsy with a knife and fork and they fart too often in public.
That is an extremely uncharitable take. OP is clearly saying climate change is an issue, but is not particularly relevant to the issue of human sleep.
How do you define “not enhanced”, and how would you get an image that hasn’t been somewhat filtered and interpreted by camera software or hardware?

> when I convert BTC to DOGE (or whatever), there is no income

That conversion is the sale of property. The IRS doesn't care whether you receive payment for your BTC in DOGE, USD, or corn futures; you divested funds from BTC, and the difference between what the BTC was worth at the time of acquisition VS sale is a capital gain or loss.
Yet again, I don't see any recommendations to change particular regulations. I do see some regulations that changed, increasing costs in the 1970s, but that I'm not sure anybody wants to change:

-Triaxial accelerometers and spectrum recorders were added to much equipment, piping, and containment.

-Reg Guide 1.117 required protection from 360 mph tornado winds, in some cases increasing building wall thickness from 18 inches to 24.

-Drain systems for firefighting waterflow had to both prevent fire from spreading and also sample water for radiation.

-Swing diesels at multiunit plants were prohibited by RG 1.81.

-Liquid radwaste had to be solidified before shipping with cement systems costing $20/kW.

-Anti-sabotage measures attempted to avoid any one person in the maintenance crew from working on a set of redundant equipment

Are you suggesting that these should be changed and that these will reduce costs significantly?

Because it's not these regulations that caused massive overruns in Georgia and South Carolina, so I don't know why that will help. There are far far deeper issues in the industry, which is deeply troubled and incompetent.

Later on the venerable 2018 MIT report is cited, which is a far far far better root cause analysis of nuclear failure than "regulations." It doesn't recommend changes in regulations, but it does suggest more speedy approval of design changes during construction, to which I say, great. Make nuclear construction agile.
