Probably pretty common. When I was in my early 20s I applied for a relatively high paying job delivering beer locally. They had us all take a test...I don't remember a ton about it but it seemed a combination of general knowledge and 'IQ' testish questions.

The guy told me nobody had ever got a perfect score before, but they wouldn't hire me. For the same reason listed in the article - I wouldn't stick around long before finding something better. The guy was nice about it, and said I could find something better than this position. At the time I felt a bit cheated, but thinking back I guess that's correct. I was off programming computers about 3 years later.

That said, this was beer delivery, not tax funded policing. I think we'd all be better served by having smarter police.
This also serves as an argument against using expert consensus as the yardstick to determine that which can be discussed or shared over social media.
If you google "ray dalio 1980" you'll see he's talked about that being his biggest mistake and massive learning opportunity [1, 2, 3]. He even dedicated a chapter to it in his book (chapter 3) [4]. It's sort of hard to fault someone for being wrong 40 years ago and think they have nothing new to contribute.

Suspect we'd all be completely screwed if we were wrong, never learned from it, and just continued on. No idea if he's right or wrong but guess time will tell. What you're implying here though, that because someone was wrong at a point in time, learned from it, evolved and changed their way of thinking, then think that all their future stuff is tainted somehow, seems pretty strange.

I agree with your point, but there's no need for the snarky tone. This is HN.
They’ll build a hydrogen car (only available in select markets) but can’t make the Sienna plug-in.
If you're into React but faster, there's InfernoJS, which is basically React/Preact but /even faster/: https://www.infernojs.org/
> However, our investigation shows that the Caisse's contribution to this round of financing amounts to $150 million. According to documents released by Celsius to financial authorities in Britain, CDPQ acquired 7,328 Series B shares of the company, at a price of $20,469 each.

Yikes.
According to the Taylor rule, the fed needs to raise prime rates to inflation plus 2% to avoid spiraling inflation, that is, 11%. Hope you enjoy double digit borrowing rates or spiraling inflation.
It's very easy to start generalizing and speculating. But does anyone know how prevalent the low IQ standard is across the country? Presumably its set by each department, so that's like 10k or 20k different policies.
Yeah, so lie to people. And then be surprised after they decide to trust people that do nothing but lie to them.
Plus most of their infrastructure is poorly built. On this YouTube channel they lived in China for a decade and rode through it on motorcycles documenting their adventures. It is pretty amazing https://www.youtube.com/c/ADVChina you learn beyond a few big Chinese cities pretty much everything is falling apart, shoddily built with no inspections, and not as rich as the government portrays. Demographics is certainly a problem but everything else is too... China is a house of cards.
Can’t tell if you’re joking or not, but I doubt this AI got to “spend time” with the other AI’s.
You put square brackets around parameters. e.g., routes/greet/[name].tsx

https://fresh.deno.dev/docs/getting-started/dynamic-routes
Why this can be great:

- The dev experience is closer to the early days of PHP.

- TypeScript, Preact out of the box. No need to configure build tools / deploys much faster. It's a pain in the ass to make these working at the same time and targeting both browser and server nowadays.

- You can have interactivity without bolt-on client-side scripts that are different from other parts.

- The code could be running on the edges.

- I'm not sure what does the island based client hydration means, but sounds like Remix

Many other frameworks could do some of them but not all (Ruby needs JavaScript/Turbolink, Next.js need to build then refresh, etc)
It’s running on Deno, which builds TS on the fly with SWC (and does a bunch of other stuff with Rust-V8 interop). Generally speaking it’s close enough to zero overhead that Deno tends to perform better for TS source files than Node for JS source. I’m sure there’s plenty of caching involved, but even without SWC (like ESBuild) is a barely noticeable drop in the bucket.
I've actually worked with things like Create React App, Vue CLI etc a lot but never any of the "meta frameworks". Based on what you are saying, it seems like the main difference it where things are evaluated? So, if I do my filtering on the client (with React) I need to make a request, get all the data, filter, render. For something like Remix or Fresh, you can do it on the server first [0]. Either way, the user has to wait, it's just a different kind of waiting:

1. Pure front-end solution (React) they wait on the front-end to handle it all.
2. Remix or Fresh, they are still waiting, it just happens on the server.

It seems like there isn't a significant difference either way - ultimately, you are still waiting, as a user. If the payload is huge, maybe the server model is faster - unless the server is getting smashed with requests, then it'll actually be slower?

Muse is a bit like this. You can also infinitely nest white boards. It’s really nice, though admittedly I haven’t gotten as much use out of it as I had hoped.

For comparison to the Tesla Powerwall, in specs that matter:

Power: Toyota: 5.5 kW, Powerwall: 9.6 kW (off-grid).

Energy Storage: Toyota: 8.7 kWh, Powerwall: 13.5 kWh.

If you estimate an average power use of 2kW while off-grid, then the Powerwall gets you 6.7 hours, and the Toyota gets you 4.3 hours of power.
Rates skyrocketing can be great if you are going to be buying - because prices will usually drop to keep total monthly payments about the same.

And even if you have to buy at 18% interest like in the 80s, you can refinance if rates drop.

This 0-3kb includes HTML or some JavaScript runtime ?
MIT doesn’t own the model, where did you get that idea from? If you read through the website, it says that the developer alone owns everything related to the project, and the only funding he received from MIT was a small amount from the beginning.

It’s really strange reading these ignorant comments from HN…
Crypto lending platform Celsius pauses withdrawals, transfers
So at full rated output power, 5.5kW, it can supply that for 12 minutes (60*1.1/5.5), right? That doesn't seem to be much capacity. Running at say 1kW output you aren't even going to run for an hour.

EDIT: The article must be b0rken. The spec sheet from Toyota says the storage unit capacity is 8.7kWh - where did the 1.1kWh get derived from?
This is the same thing I dislike about NextJS. What is the argument for using the filesystem as part of a framework's API?
Oh thank goodness. I actually thought we put in $600 million
The hype: "Lenders have a lot to gain when they join Celsius. The platform pays out rewards as high as a 17% yield. These rewards are calculated by the system based on your loan terms and paid out every Monday."

This is like a junk bond. You get a high yield in exchange for a risk of loss of the principal. So junk bonds require due diligence to price. You don't buy just one kind; you buy a diversified collection in hopes that they don't all go bust at once. In 2008, mortgage-backed securities did all go bust at once.

In crypto land these things are blind pools. Customers have no idea where the pool operator is investing, and to what risks they are exposed. This is why there is a requirement for SEC registration.

That's if it's honest. It might be an out and out Ponzi, like Madoff's.

What the crypto crowd does not seem to get is that none of this is new. These are all old ideas in finance. In the 1920s, retail investors were being offered similar blind pools.
Of all the things wrong with public education, the time I had to get up was the least of my concerns.

Funny I'm in optical comms as well, chances are we know each other. I never used "pwelch" though. But I concur my statement on documentation was too strong, I guess it depends quite a bit.

Regarding IDE, I guess we tend to put priorities on different things. I find pycharm's (pro edition) git Integration, debugging, refactoring and profiling vastly superior. I plot using regular qt windows and I agree that for interactive plots where one wants to look at points etc, matlab has the edge, for publication ready plots matplotlib beats matlab hands down though (although the API is quite verbose, proplotlib is a wrapper that makes things more convenient IMO).

Anyway I think we have different priorities in what we are looking for. We use Python for labautomation and the matlab instrumentation toolbox is a buggy mess, our measurement times decreased by a factor of 5-10 when we switched from matlab.

Regarding cost, we are a university so matlab and python have equal costs. I do know of colleagues at industry labs where matlab cost was a factor though.
What argument are you making?

Hedge fund managers make wrong predictions all the time. Did you find a systemic flaw in his approach?
Where I am all you need is a GED or high school diploma and no felonies. They do drug test, but I'm told you're informed in advance.
They don't even need to innovate, just copy the path laid out to them. They can already make the batteries, apparently, let's just put them in cars and let me stop putting a pound of CO2 into the atmosphere for every mile I drive.

Even better would be able to live in a place that let me have a family without a car, because there was adequate transit. And though I'm working hard on that locally, it will take time, if it ever succeeds. And most parts of the country will never even attempt that :(
Who do you hope enjoys this? Why are you excited for something bad to happen?
Tether's direct redemption process is thoroughly opaque, limited to the big boys, and according to their own TOS only possible when they feel like it. So the price on "random exchanges" is the real price.
Author of post here. Much appreciate this comment.

My personal TL;DR is probably more like "blockchain, bleh". I think it's a dead end, for social ⋃ technical reasons. But I know and respect folks holding out hope and putting in time. I wouldn't pull the plug on them.

But the burden's still on them to meet and exceed extant standards. No public policy regressions tolerated. If you want deregulation, fine. Argue that across the board and compete.
Sounds pretty awesome to me, I'd be more than happy to loan at a >11% return.
Great thing they are 100% transparent about redemptions they have honored! By the way, their terms state they don’t actually need to honor their redemptions with USD.

Here, have some Evergrande debt in exchange for your USDT.
11% interest on 30+ trillion dollars of national debt.
Yes, we've done some benchmarks using Clickhouse with the same design that you just mentioned (1 single table that contains all relevant dimensions and metrics)

In our benchmark, we tried aggregating around 1 billion rows of raw data (2 months data) using count exact distinct -> could achieve around 50-60 seconds. If we use the HLL, the query can be finished around 20-30 seconds.

For the retention part, we're planning to keep it 1 year of data, so around 6 billion rows.
Bingo. Tether defends the peg on their Bitfinex exchange. Then people arb the difference.

But right now people are hesitant to arb and so need a higher premium.
“In 2020, a team at the University of Texas, Austin, proposed the Ultimately Large Telescope, a 100-meter liquid mirror that would stare constantly at the same patch of sky for years on end from one of the Moon’s poles.”

95% of journalism is at this level of understanding for anything non liberal arts that is commonly offered as a 4 year degree, and has been for as long as journalism has existed.

OP is referring to an 18% APY in USD where Celsius is referring to an APY in the target coin.

I don't quite follow your logic. Assuming withdraws weren't paused like they are now you would still be able to liquidate your position.
Fresh looks inspired by Remix. Is that right? Not that there is anything wrong with that. But given that Remix does claim to be production ready, what makes Fresh better?
I have been playing with Remix in a side project. I do like their simplicity vis-a-vis Nextjs. And the fact that it is all server rendered by design and not as a special case.
Why would you guess that? H1N1 happened in 2009. 13 years lines up perfectly.
> Yaegi and Umka are two different things.

From the looks of it not really. They're language implementations designed for embedded use. The only difference in design is that Umka is in C and Yaegi is in Go.

But yes it's true that it's easier to call into C libraries than it is to call into Go libraries. But you can call into Go libraries from other languages.
The big standout feature that sets it apart for UX is partial hydration. DX like Next (or whatever similar), and UX like plain HTML plus some isolated interactivity, is becoming a focal point for a lot of the current crop of FE tools. Astro has been a big player in this area, Marko doing it for years, Qwik is another really compelling option. But the more the merrier where devs can dev how they want and users aren’t getting gigantic globs of JS they don’t need or want.
I see; that sucks. I hope you get some answers and some financial/medical relief in the future.
There's no uniform policy, but the person in the article above eventually filed a case that reached the 2nd Circuit. The court determined that the police did not violate any discrimination laws by forbidding smarter applicants, because the test was applied uniformly[1].

Edit: it's left to us to understand why "uniform application" prevents discrimination. The court apparently didn't consider that a discriminatory test, uniformly applied, is still fundamentally discriminatory.

That’s their most visible difficulty but the heart of their problem is they were a ponzi. They promised rates of interest they could not earn in the marketplace, so redemptions were made from new deposits.

Luna sparked a run for the exits, hence they could no longer meet withdrawals from new money.

I would love to visit Alaska. I've wanted to ever since I read "On the Edge of Nowhere" as a boy.

I'm sure there are plenty of wonderful places to live in Alaska that have access to a hospital. If one chooses to live in a wilderness area with no road service, one accepts no road service.

It isn't unusual for elderly people to move to a place that is easier to maintain and is in close proximity to a hospital.
Also -20 isn’t unheard of in some places, upper Midwest USA and north….i wonder if it could warm itself if needed?
Excuse me but I'm trying to confirm some self reinforcing biases here; if you don't mind pausing the critical thought for a moment that'd help me a lot.
This entire thread is honestly so disturbing, this comment especially. Not only is it rife with misinformation (using copyrighted material for training is totally legal and the whole project is paid out of pocket), but is it really that big of a deal to want credit for the work they’ve done? The developer has had their work stolen by companies, influencers, and grifters, and people here are getting pissy that they can’t wait 10 seconds to wait for a popup.

I don’t know why, but I honestly expected more from HN.
They normally fluctuate a bit above/below $1. Show me a one month period when they’ve been this consistently below $1.

They may have had one longer period, when they lost their bank account access….other than that this is the record. It is novel
They also nailed their timing in getting out of oil and gas - just in time for the sector at large to see a face-ripping rally and some of the best cashflows in any industry.

The take away for all Canadians (the CPP is just as bad) is that these pension funds are just one more tax. You will be paid out, just nowhere near commensurate with what you put in.

And that's even before the comical "inflation" adjustments and the intentional lack of currency hedge.
Fundamentally, Americans hate unnecessary and stupid change.

Everything is based on metric underneath. We're used to cups, pints, etc. for recipes, etc. Our measuring cups ALSO feature milliliters (aka Cubic Centimeters). If we need metric, we've got it. Our kids will happily go along with whatever fancy new units you come up with, just let us old people have our way with our old measuring tools, etc.
I see so many new urbanists saying we’ve made a tremendous mistake, and I agree. But how can we fix it? Tear down all the cities and start over?
It's an 8.7 kWh battery, so it can supply it for 1h35m (8.7/5.5).

The 1.1 kW number is the power of the EV charging adapter for the system.
Bad is a matter of perspective isn’t it?
What's wrong with Toyota's hybrids and plug-in hybrids? Up-front cost?
It’s in the same space as Astro. I can say with certainty without even looking at my Twitter feed that the Astro team will welcome more work in the space. Even if it’s not “better”, everyone leading FE web projects who isn’t a dilettante is learning from and inspired by each other’s work.
So is this a blanket approval for anyone with AI synthesis of voices, to sample hours of any _copyrighted content_ and come up with a TTS that is copyrighted to the new owner?

In other words, if I deep fake someone's photo on someone else's body, I own the rights of that 'model'?
I had a similar problem trying to get my address added to Google Maps and other platforms! I live in the US, and the post office changed my address (new number and street name) when a new road was cut in near my house. It was incredibly frustrating!

I tried on and off for weeks submitting reports, which were all closed or ignored. I figured out that if you create a business, Google will let you put in the address of the business and drop a pin on the map where the business is. They do not verify if the street address was previously in their database. So I created a fake business on Google and gave it my home address, and dropped a pin on my house. It showed up on the map within hours. Kind of hacky, but problem solved.

Good luck!

In the long run it's likely that large household batteries like this for aiding in load balancing with solar/wind-centric electrical grids will become as ubiquitous as hot water heaters are.
Yep, it certainly is! It's an instance where prosecutors (and defenders) will select in either direction, depending on whatever they think is most likely to obtain their outcome. Education is a proxy for all kinds of other things, so it's particularly salient.

Yeah, maybe I should have said "sometimes" rather than "often."

The gist of what I remember about it is that sometimes a "smart" juror can end up trying to outhink the lawyers, rather than just evaluating the evidence presented and whether or not it meets the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard.
I’ve known a couple of people working on technical phd programs who served on juries so it happens.
Does anyone know of a home battery solution in India that does not cost more than the price of a small car?

I have read the per kWh price is around 9-12k inr but the retail price is around 22-40k per kWh which is just outrageous by the 2-3 retailers I know of.

Has anyone bought anything other than lead acid ? I am in the market for like 5-20 kWh if the per kWh actually goes down to sane levels.

Suppose 15k per kWh * 20 =300k which is quite reasonable if we get 5-10 year warranty

Doesn't interest rate changes only affect future debt?
we shouldn't. Each of them has its own characteristic therefore the risk is different.
Crypto is so disruptive it just re-invented the bank run.

For reference, if you ever see a bank say this, it's probably a good idea to get to an ATM post-haste and withdrawal as much as you possible can.

Even from a Marxian perspective, there's a sense in which worker co-ops embedded in capitalist markets are still ‘capitalist’— they're still subject to the same kinds of competitive pressures as capitalist firms. Even for socialists and people interested in worker co-ops as a basis for moving beyond capitalism, something like ‘do non-capitalist firms even exist today?’ is a legitimate question.
Yeah I can't see why being a street cop needs a college education. Note I'm not saying there should not be some aptitude and psychological screening. But I think plenty of people who didn't go to college could be good cops.
No. Everyone attacks everyone else. Its jut when america /Israel does this, its seen as an achievement while if someone else attacks these two, its seen as an act of war and all hell breaks loose.
