It's hard to calculate how many charging stations will be needed. Most EV owners plug their cars in at home and wake up every day with a full charge. They only use charging stations for road trips. Also charging stations can be installed in far more places than gas stations. There are no hazardous fumes or massive fire risks. They don't require nearly as much maintenance or staff. For these reasons it's common to see charging stations in parking garages, in front of hotels, or even next to the beach[1].

I just checked out a video and a lady said she spent 40 hours drawing a small sphere. That might be slightly more intense than what I'm after, but probably what I need with my impossible standards.

I do see there is a school just about a mile from me. They have various summer workshops, but many require I take a week off work; they have a couple weekend options too. It looks like they occasionally have some night classes, but they are full. A 10 month long class that doesn't start for 4 months and costs over $2,400 is full... that kind of blows my mind. It seems like doing one of these fundamentals classes would be the way to go before showing up for a 24 hour over 4 day deep dive, live drawing, workshop.

I guess I'll bookmark it and come back to it occasionally to see if something works out for my schedule and current skill level.
We should also mandate the reduction of open source projects, after all there are too many competing standards. We don’t want code to be wasted now do we? Let’s start by banning the use of Tensorflow
You need to be more accurate in your language.

Bitcoin's supply cannot be manipulated, unlike fiat. The currency pair BTC/USD is very much manipulated, as is pretty much any asset paired to USD.

These are two different concepts.

The fact they couldn't wait a few days to make a post here makes me think "move fast break things" at best, and a flat out scam at worst.

Would the security details have ever been worked on if people weren't commenting here?

Are they going to take orders before putting it up?

Are they aware of how prevalent crypto scams are and how vitally important it is to distance yourself if you want to be taken seriously?

This kind of impulsivity is exactly what I don't want from people dealing with money.
Allowing two inspectors to pursue personal grudges against one of the most beloved figures in US aviation: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=FAA+bob+hoover

Five hundred and thirty seven people killed from the 737 max scandal, which showed the FAA was basically not providing any oversight of Boeing whatsoever, and even worse, was complicit in coverups: https://www.theverge.com/2020/12/18/22189609/faa-boeing-737-...

Furthermore, the FAA was the last national agency in the world to ban the 737 Max from flying. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/business/boeing-737...

That lack of supervision included the FAA providing little or no oversight over Boeing using lithium ion batteries without sufficient testing, resulting in several fires on airliners.

Treating air traffic controllers so poorly - including underpaying them by nearly thirty percent, that they went on strike, and refusing to give them a shorter work week to compensate for the high stress nature of the job: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_Air_Traffic_Contr...

A controller in Las Vegas has a stroke and was speaking gibberish for half an hour before anyone in the control tower noticed, likely because she was working alone and unsupervised.

Am I forgetting anything?

"Model of professionalism in civil service" my ass. This debacle over fueling is just yet another way the FAA has pointlessly stood in the way of progress to protect vested industry interests. FAA regulations are rife with all sorts of absurd shit barring a private pilot from modernizing their planes in cost effective manner or enhancing them with greater avionics capabilities.

IMHO cue is generally better for complicated configurations, including Kubernetes. Dhall has some nice features though. In particular the ability to import other files as semantic hashes seems like a great feature.

To manage configuration you also need a system to understand the state of the configured system so that when you delete a configuration you can reconcile that with the system. So then it becomes more practical to use Pulumi with TypeScript. It would be nice if there was a separate state reconciliation system that one could adapt to use with Cue or Dhall or any other frontend.
Yes, people need to know:

1. What are the steps to purchase it.

2. What are the steps to spend it.

3. What are the steps to receive it, including verification.

4. Convince me I won't lose my funds by accident.

5. Convince me I won't lose my funds by hack of protocol.

6. Convince me I won't lose funds if a hacker gains access to your centralized system.

7. What happens if I lose the note(s)?

8. Processing fees.

9. Can I give someone a note and avoid the Bitcoin transaction fee? (I am guessing yes as nothing needs to happen on the chain. But if I receive a note can I be sure I won't be swindled).

People who think AGI means anything whatsoever are in my experience generally uncomfortable with the fact that all the goal-seeking behaviors they’re trying to see themselves in basically book down to sex drive.

AGI is a feeling alright. You can even call it love in front of the kids.
You may disagree with how they develop it, but I am very much a happy user of Bottles (other than how needlessly hard it is to search). It has made configuring wine and friends so much easier than before. Previously, I would just give up on about the second random forum post indicating this was the magic configuration required to run program X.

I will eat the disk space and heavy updates if it means I have an easier time of running windows applications.

It is actually pretty easy to provide a proof of effectiveness for vaccines. The theory of peace through interconnected and colonies is more complicated.

My concern with attempting to learn BASIC is that at least the big ones aren't garbage collected (freebasic, qb64).

In the first place (not growing up using BASIC) I don't understand how BASIC got so big as a programming language for beginners (even kids) without a GC.

Or maybe my searches just haven't turned up the right implementation or something.

I have the same issue with (Free)Pascal but I'm less surprised there because it's not like (apparently, since like I said this wasn't me) everyone as a kid learned to game program with Pascal the same way they did with BASIC.
That's exactly the idea with SetOps: using all these components under the hood but abstracting it for the user with a much simpler management. You could give it a try in the demo environment if you like.
Nice project! Just a note of feedback: for a service that advertises with transparently deploying resources to my own AWS account, it is surprisingly difficult to find out to what AWS services the various concepts in setopts maps to. Given that I would be the one paying for any mishaps and overprovisioned resources, it would be good to have a reference for this. Maybe I missed it?
One day of camping is $59/night at Ontario Parks.
25 hours is just based on the hourly rate.

This does not factor normal living expenses, or include taxes or deductions, or everyday food or housing expenses which are crazy. So 25 hours if he lives with Grandma, and Grandma feeds him.

Realistically if lives alone he would have to save for a month to have $375 left over for a camping trip, if not months.
I'm a bit late, but what's the technical setup? I'm curious about the panel, controller and pump. What's the wattage and parts etc. What's the final cost?

Today's world even power constrained devices like phones have many cores. Laptops and desktops are getting more cores just about every year. Even chromebooks are heading towards 8 cores last I heard.

Take for instance wanting to backup a directory to a remote server and/or cloud. Sure you could use scp, single threaded would be fine, read a file, hand it over to scp, which does encryption and transport.

However you'd waste quite a bit of network bandwidth and disk space. Ideally you want incremental, so you need a database for metadata. You could add compression as well. But you likely want deduplication so if you have a system image for a virtual machine and 1% of it changes you can upload 1%. You also likely want to detect corruption if you upload a backup, then restore and the file has changed.

There are single threaded programs that do these kind of things, but they tend to be very slow, some well known backup clients that promise a flat rate for infinite backups often use the approach to reduce the amount of data it's practical to backup.

So ideally you have multiple threads, one for scanning the filesystem, one for talking to a database of metadata, another for checksumming plaintext, encrypting, and checksumming the encrypted blob, and yet another for managing a queue of blobs to upload.

Without concurrency even simple things like uploading backups can become painfully slow.

I went from simple flat file with tab separated configs to xml to Protobuf and to JSON/TOML.

Every time we had issues, it was because we were trying to spin our OWN version of configuration file. It breaks backward compatibility and versioning. Code collaboration was horrible and devs were getting frustrated.

This is obviously intended to get people to click links and download malware. Calling it.
I had basically the same thought: as a user, flatpak means I'll need to install an extra daemon for something that doesn't need to run all the time, and therefore it's right out. AppImage is better in that it doesn't need that, but it has other limitations for the packaged software. I've also used software that just plopped files into /opt/… not great, but at least it's mostly contained.

If you're not going to support some users, don't be surprised that somebody else ends up doing it I guess?
> Europe is very old, we are used to have old stuff laying around.

So what's the problem with allowing lightning to exist, since as a standard it predated USB-C (and in fact was the impetus for the creation of the latter)? If we allow neighborhoods to keep their old power connectors without retrofit... why not allow lightning to continue to exist?
What I'd heard is that "countach" is the sort of expletive you'd say when you saw a beautiful woman. Although to be fair using regional slang makes some sense as the Countach dates to around the time that Italy was transitioning to Standard Italian.
From the story:

"But the applicant, in this case GAMI, should have a right to know who is on the TAB and what their credentials are."

Hmm. Seems like 737 MAX was about the incestuous relationship between the FAA and Boeing, at least in part. Perhaps when there is less knowledge available about the people responsible for approving things we stand a chance of a meaningful result.
I was thinking about this on the way home the other day. I'm the most tech savvy of all my family and friends. I live and breath tech. Code all day, game all night.

But I'm the one who hates all smart home devices. I'm the one who wants a dumb TV. I would be perfectly happy with my dumb phone if it didn't keep pocket dialing emergency services.

I want less tech in my life not more.
That's just a dumb argument. Open source projects can just be forked with no monetary implications.
Would you happier if you were affected by European corporate actions instead?

We live in a global economy, you are constantly affected by things happening thousand of miles away (e.g. Ukraine invasion bumped the price of gas across the world). Not sure why you're conflating that with the fact that these actions are "centrally-planned".
In the mature versions of BASIC, SUB was for routines that didn't return any value and FUNCTION was for returning a value.

I'd 100% skip the line numbers and GOTO/GOSUB and build those two things. I grew up PDP BASIC and then VAX BASIC and the procedural aspect is what made it a great platform to write code. the line number/GOTO stuff is great for nostalgia, but a dead end for good coding practices.

Why do researchers add these statements in the first place if they are pretty broadly not complying with them? Does it somehow help them get published just to have the statement there?
I played with Tidal when it first came out for music. I do like it. To me though, I prefer Grace[1] (CM, Lisp) and Extempore[2] (Scheme, xtlang). You can work within the grammar of music, or you can program your own DSPs. Xtlang in Extempore is a pretty neat DSL created by Andrew Sorensen. To me Tidal was mainly rhythm-based. I am sure it has evolved since then, but it felt like a coding sequencer or pattern generator. I liked Sporth, (Soundpipe + Forth), but it appears something has occurred on the internets that I am not aware of. The repo is still here[3], but it is not being worked on any longer from what I have read there.

If interesting and unusual is your thing for generative music, check out Orca[4]. That has eaten hours of my time far more than Tidal for me.

This is something I always thought. AGI must learn what simple ideas such as 'a thing' are, how to find a path (look at how arboreal species navigate) and how that relates to movement, etc. Our physical interactions with the world, as much as our senses, inform everything we do about the world.

I do not understand why we would want AGI though. Seems like we already have humans for that.
>Browsers don't support it out of the box (yet), so probably not time to switch.

Ok, so do we skip even trying to use more well tested stuff like APNG to use this? Or just accept the moment is as gone as the blink tag?

(I'm only being half joking -- I'm not a data visualization expert but I learned digital photography when you'd shoot onto a floppy jammed into the camera, so while I don't know algos well, I've also seen scores of security vulnerabilities stem from browser cruft.

Classic example being that prior to FTP support being removed from firefox, you could do things like say go to trusteddomain.nameofschool.edu@badsitethatistotallyfullofputinsmalware.ru and very easily infect any sort of kiosk running Firefox, Firebird, or in one especially hilarious case... Internet Explorer.

I'm not even joking... my target was still using Internet Explorer, on a kiosk, years after the switch to Edge.

(Luckily all I did was redirect to a search engine to find an ISBN number. I could have done much worse.)
That's cool to know, maybe I should keep trying.

And regarding your top comment, I agree that's quite hard to find interesting SW written in it, that's one of the reasons I quickly gave up, but I guess it doesn't hurt to learn about FP after all, I want to at least write something that works before finally decide if it's worth it or not.
I wonder why it’s not possible to route around weather. We have slowed shipping (Slow Steaming) because no one was willing to pay the extra fuel cost for the faster transits. We’re very good at nowcasting and forecasting weather globally and extremely good at it near coasts (COAMPS). Why not avoid these systems rather than plow through? Or is global marine trade like the wildebeest migrations in the Serengeti?
It sounds like you're worried that creating high-paying fundamental science jobs would pull smart people away from engineering. But it would be more likely to pull smart people from zero-sum (or at least low-sum) fields like advertising and finance.
Frankly it seems weird you even need this pointed out to you.

If I wasn't giving you the benefit of the doubt, it really smells like your typical crypto scam to trick people that don't understand the technology fully into giving you money.
The most apt phrase here is “building castles in the air.”
Well, let me preface by saying this is speculation from poor understanding, but I think it's about the difference between inflation slowing because the economy has slowed and the economy slowing because inflation is high. The latter is essentially the stagflation scenario, and it's not clear to me what caused that to last so long during the 70's.
Can a CPU experience qualia?

The mind has a physical structure that supports it. We are still unable to understand a meaningful portion of that structure or replicate it.

Creating a concept to speculate about a system that we have no objective knowledge, based on subjective experience is useless. The name is catchy for a song though.
Decirculating old currencies can either happen intentionally or unintentionally.

Intentionally decirculating old currencies is called demurrage. Think Swiss bank notes. They tend to recall old notes every 30 years when they issue a new generation of notes. They are currently on generation nine and just recalled generation eight. Bitcoin Note is on generation one.

While it is somewhat common in centralized printed currencies like the franc or the pound it is an important feature of decentralized printed currencies to help dirciculate old notes as there is no central mechanism to cull old notes. One wants to put economic pressure to dicirculate old notes for a variety of reasons but perhaps one of the most important ones is because chips become less secure over time. (Analogously one wants to put economic pressure on miners to upgrade to the latest bitcoin network (such as when taproot came out).)

It's important to note, the Bitcoin stored on the note doesn't "disappear" after 2029 - but rather the multi-sig on the note reverts from 2-of-2 to 1-of-2 so the value can be claimed - in effect turning the note into something more like a claimable voucher or gift card. It contains value, you just generally wouldn't circulate it after then.

For a casual overview see: https://beyondmoney.net/monographs/demurrage-is-it-a-good-id... - that article doesn't talk about economic levers on non-centrally issued currencies because those are frankly quite novel.

Unintentionally dircirculating old notes is called revolution.
Ask HN: Best alternative jobs for “outdated” skills with small websites/apps?
I am a software engineer who is self-taught, and after graduation I took local jobs for small web shops for dev work.

Here's a brief description of my timeline from beginning to present:

- 1.5 years contract-to-hire SWE (W2 never actually happened)

- 3 months full-time W2 work, followed by 6 months unemployed

- 10 years independent contract work (freelancing)

- 2.5 years of no work, and a lot of job searching

The last 5 years of independent contract work have been very sporadic. During this time I typically made under $10k every year. I don't really know how to "put myself out there" as a freelancer, and after 10 years of doing it, I just want to go back to W2 as a FT employee.

My tech job skills include, PHP, MySQL, vanilla JS and jQuery. I don't know testing, cloud, or CI/CD practices. Jobs involve building small scale websites- at first only WordPress and eCommerce sites but around year 5 become more much web app SaaS-focused.

I have spent a very long time without work because I don't really know how to fit myself into other places with such a skill set. I get interviews and then get rejected for not being good enough. But these are the skills I have the most experience in by far. I don't have any other job skills that come close. I don't have close friends and relatives who have a good pulse on the tech industry. I do have a Github portfolio- it's not very "hot" or "trendy" tech but just things I do them because I enjoy doing them.

What other good options do I have? It doesn't have to be highly relevant to work I've done in the past. Anyone have any ideas of what I can or should do?

A side note: I've been working remote since 2013 (may explain a lot about my how my career has went) and am pretty good with maintaining a schedule and discipline around WFH.
