This is why we need more design expertise in FOSS. Your form/function dichotomy is incorrect.

You have software domain knowledge and experience working with spaghetti interfaces assembled by developers rather than designed by experts. You find them more functional because it fits your existing mental model of an interface. However, these interfaces are vastly less functional to everyone else.

An interface that only facilitates beginner workflows is poorly designed. I rarely see these in the wild, but the culprits are usually non-designers pantomiming their understanding of ‘designed’.

I do, however, regularly see developers misinterpret interfaces designed to facilitate advanced functionality for non-developers. Focused views with controls and readouts obscured as appropriate, but functionality exposed through key shortcuts or other means are what most people expect, and it’s a whole lot easier for a developer to learn those usage models than for non-developer users to learn how to use a hundred buttons and readouts acting as a thin wrapper around an API.
Don't forget self funded retirement. I'd rather not be "in the market" at all due to the risk, but just saving money has become a pointless exercise.
You never know how long they’re going to be able to prop up the scams. Additionally, many of the big exchanges, being unregulated, are alleged to (either directly, or through large players they’re associated with) manipulate the market and trade against customers. Front running, etc.

Put up a large short position, and soon enough there will be a pump and dump to liquidate it. And if you do make money, have you noticed that these exchanges often go down for “maintenance” when big price movements are happening? There’s no guarantee you’ll be able to close out a position when you need to.

The only way to win is not to play.
yes. on modern hardware, OBS is relatively lightweight until you add several video sources. for coding you should be fine if your laptop is less than 5+ years old
Even better, OBS now supports directly logging into Twitch, which then also gives you windows to set stream description and see user chat, all within OBS.
You and I have a different understanding of “willful”. If you’ve used copilot you’ll know that the vast majority of the time it’s not infringing anybody’s copyright, it’s creating code that is highly unique to the problem you are trying to solve.
So frustrating! Not sure if it's just in team-managed projects, but they look to have fixed this, e.g Description field maintains a draft across page-loads, until you hit save now :)
It’s good to see more players in this space.
>does nothing meaningful for people who are priced out by the 10-15% y/y gains on housing

Housing never had gains that high. Looking at the rise from the last trough (ie. 2009 to today) works out to 5.3% annualized nationwide[1]. Meanwhile the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund returned 12.4% in the same time period. If you look around at a few different metros, there are many cities that return higher (eg. 7.5% for LA[2]), but none are anywhere close to returns for the index fund. The best I found was arizona[3] with 9.1%.

The turbine blades are downstream of the combustion chamber so they handle combustion products not hydrogen-rich gas. The turbine combustion chambers, fuel handling system, and high pressure H2 compressors[0] _do_ have to function in a high pressure high temperature H2-rich environment.

ABSOLUTELY.

I am not plugged into a community of musicians these days, but in college and the decade afterwards we were hearing, performing music written by contemporary composers. Choral music, mostly. But cello concertos, crazy harpsichord binges, and banging on drums were there, too.

A "Classical vernacular" these days would be blockbuster movie soundtracks! Are you (the article, its author) telling me that doesn't matter?

To say nothing of new venues and art forms. I learned about Christopher Tin's song cycles via a soundtrack bundle marketed to video gamers. I am not a gamer, but I think I was shopping for a gift for my kids and holy cow I love his work.

Great work!

I'm kinda sad nobody has replied in hours :( . My dad was an ELE and this is beyond the quality of most professional work as far as research and implementation.

As a dev that knows electronics fairly well, your project is great OP
Well thankfully I can say I've not come across this level of narrow thinking in physics or computing.

Normally there's excitement when the research offers some weird or novel tie in or a better way of doing a thing or solving a problem.

But then again these fields don't have the same structure of paymaster.
Who isn't? I'm talking about cars(among other things). I know the article discounts cars as being solved by lithium ion batteries, but there is still a huge group pushing for hydrogen vehicles.

Re-inventing PHP but with less of the garbage that is PHP isn't a bad thing.
LogiTech camera, OBS, 3x monitors. Place OBS on 1st, other tools on 2 and steam 3 (you tell OBS which rectangle of your screen to share, feed camera into OBS, fiddle with broadcast layout and just send it to twitch. I got a Ryzen7300 (or something, I'll edit) and 64G RAM and the video card is NVS510. Works awesome, but I close out all other stuff before streaming. So I don't leak anything on accident.
Seems odd to focus on HDMI, the DDC/i2c mechanism described has been in every display connector from VGA on forward. DisplayPort did away with dedicated pins but the mechanism is still there encapsulated in the AUX channel.
People are naturally greedy. Plenty of developers sacrifice their relationships, health, and appearance for high comp packages.
Aren't they more efficient when underclocked (and therefore cooler)?

Also I've heard that thermal cycling is hard on electronics. These probably would have a pretty low cycle count.
> Doesn’t make it the best because of that reason.

This is a strawman. Where in the original post did they say JavaScript was the best. They said JavaScript is the "universal" scripting language in the sense that is ubiquitous. That is fact. You literally confirmed it here:

> Javascript has a wider adoption than others is because it’s forced upon us

> You know what usually bites me when I touch code that has not been touched for 6 months (usually a late contract renewal)?... It’s the stupid Javascript with its Node based dependencies all failing randomly in each direction just because some developer used a library for something trivial they could have written themselves or super likely because Babel or Webpack decided to change their config files so my entire JS pipeline breaks.

Okay....? Then write VanillaJS instead of depending on Node dependencies. It's not JavaScript's fault that you're a contractor dealing with other developers' app-level tech debt.

> Personally, I use Coffeescript. It has been a breeze from all aspects.

That's a cool story, but Deno uses TypeScript so the whole JavaScript rant crumbles here.

> Browsers understand just Javascript to display web pages, period.

Bits like this make me feel like you're just throwing a bunch of domain-related words together and hopes something sticks.

Browsers understand more than JavaScript, and JavaScript isn't the control layer for logic, which can including displaying page, but ultimately its HTML that is for displaying the web page.

>I agree with you that "the cloud" is a dead-end.

Really? I feel like it's the inevitable meta...

Too many stakeholders, from users to companies to governments, have their interests aligned in using cloud tech, and the biggest barrier to viability for any application is bandwidth.

But I hope you're right since I would consider using some hypothetical cloud OSaaS dystopian. :p
Attorneys...

Didn’t work. Partially because I don’t understand it.
we need another AI in example, if someone's AI car automatically random hit people, do not company have some responsibility?
Back in the 1970's, the approach was to conserve. In other words, reduce use of the precious commodities. Some examples:

1. Driving at a considerably slower speed on the federal highways (the older 55 MPH limit);

2. Jimmy Carter gave televised advice [1] while wearing a sweater -- suggesting that his thermostat was set a little colder in winter;

3. Proper tire inflation and maintenance of your car helps with gas mileage;

4. Carpooling. Shoot I even did this when I was a practicing attorney -- which is funny, considering that my dad built a few refineries.

5. Following, a safe distance behind a semi truck, also helps. I do this if I have a very specific amount of miles I can count on my car to go, before refueling.

I'm a little surprised that the current Democrat administration doesn't take the Jimmy Carter approach. Instead, we are being told that we can skip funding the highways by eliminating the federal fuel tax -- sending the signal that gasoline is not that precious.

I always wondered if the USD based stablecoins just hold each other's coins in lieu of cash. It's like an infinite money glitch if it's circular.
>Python, Ruby

I like js too, but both python and ruby are much better languages. It's just that js won distribution, which means it won adoption, which means you have 10MM devs smoothing it's rough edges. Just to take one language feature, consider pythons list and map comprehensions. js has nothing like that - but it also has 10 high quality libraries that do that and more, like lodash. Consider also the ridiculousness around javascript's "OOP" features, like the use of "this", or it's behavior around truthiness, or (arguably) the misfeature of prototypal inheretance - all of which can be forgiven because functions are, after all, first class in javascript, which means you can, with enough effort, fix all the things.

In truth if you want to understand absolutely everything about your runtime, and have some feeling of safety in a sandbox, then the jvm is the best. The vmspec is great, as is the langspec. It's very fast. The tools are mature. Lots of languages are written for it. It's behavior under load is well-understood. Like PHP there is a lot of bad code written for it, which gives it a bad name, but it's still a real gem.
In my experience, most of the code snippets weren't useful and testing the less useful code snippets costs more time than it saves.
I'd really like to see how this does with nontrivial examples. I'm happy to be proven wrong, but I bet the bash one isn't that effective for real world sysadmin tasks, since most bash things also require knowledge of the commands in-between the actual bash "glue", and usually requires regexes and pipelines to get the exact answer you want. Pretty much every time I look up a bash command (probably from the same sources this model trains on) I have to tweak it to do what I need.

For example, here are some things I pulled from `.bash_history`, and what I think I was meaning to do.

# Get the IP address of running lxc container ${CONTAINER_NAME}
CONTAINER_NAME=some-container; lxc-ls -f | grep ${CONTAINER_NAME} | awk '{print $5}' | sed -z 's|-.*\s||g;'

# Find the latest git tag version, excluding release candidates and development builds
git describe --tags `git rev-list --tags --exclude=*-rc* --max-count=100` | grep -vP '(\-rc|dev)' | head -1

# get the database name from parameters.yml
grep 'database_name:' parameters.yml | sed 's|.*:||g; s|\s||g;'

I bet #3 would would be feasible, but I'd be extremely surprised if it could get close on the first two.

PowerShell has the advantage of a really consistent standard library, syntax, objects, and has the .NET type system behind it, so any answer is probably already in the format you want or requires minimal manipulation. I can see it working much better there, and that's also probably why the example video only shows PowerShell too. Granted, I am probably the opposite of the target audience.

All that being said, would you really trust running some random commands you don't understand enough to write, because some remote server told you to? It should tell you the commands first rather than just executing them.

This also reminds me of Gerry Sussman’s talk “We Really Don’t Know How to Compute!”:

https://youtu.be/HB5TrK7A4pI

Granted, the assumption he made is that computing power would grow increasingly cheap (which is basically the opposite of the point here), but I also wonder if techniques like those shown in that talk could be used effectively with a network of smaller, lower-power computers.

(I mean, the talk does mention the use of small low-power computers specifically, but more in the context of e.g. sensor networks.)
I noticed there is a free tier for individual users with limited capability. But I agree with the thrust of your argument here.

Most people have the attitude towards crypto that it is an over-hyped technology that is just sucking-up people's time and attention and so the best thing to do is to ignore it and hope it goes away as soon as possible so as to free-up people's time and attention towards more worthwhile things.

I think the real biggest "gotcha" is not understanding where the control loops are in your data.

The classic example is the "air conditioned room" thought experiment. Imagine feeding an AI model a dataset with a bunch of datapoints like this

Room hot | AC on full blast

Room cold | AC off

Room warm | AC on 50%

Then asking the AI how to make a hot room cold. The AI is very likely to say "turn off the AC" because "AC off" is a feature of cold rooms.

Maybe we think that if we give the AI more information, it could do better. Lets imagine that our room has a window and an oversized AC. We'll now be feeding it info about the source of heat as well as the source of cold, so surely it will get the right answer this time:

Window open | AC on full blast | Room cold

Window closed | AC off | Room cold

Window 50% | AC on 50% | Room cold

This dataset is going to have the AI thinking that neither the window nor the AC impact room temperature, and that you might be able to close a window by turning off the AC.

The key thing to understand is that control loops change the "physics" of your system and that knowledge about the control-physics does not transfer to the uncontrolled-physics.

I had that bucketed in with letting the body heal itself.

I fully agree that there is a big gap between how medicine is delivered and what kind of overall care people need to be maximally healthy. It's what my current company does actually!

But with respect to diseases like Alzheimers, supportive care isn't going to cut the mustard in meaningfully impacting disease progression, you need drugs for that. And if you need drugs, the way the current regulatory regime operates, you need to have a shot at turning multiples of a billion in profit post-approval to pay back the development costs of the approved drug and all the drugs that failed to get approved.

I use OBS Studio with my Streamdeck, a Logitech Streamcam, NVIDIA Broadcast, a condenser microphone via a Steinberg XLR audio interface along with Elgato Key lights and iHue fill lights for my working from home office Google Meets.

Startup and shut downs of the entire stack including launching into Google Meets are automated with the deck (one button to macro up, one to macro down), and with proper lighting as well as NVIDIA Broadcast, the audio and video quality is just amazing.
The amount of tech I'm throwing at how I connect with Meet may seem like overkill, but it really makes a lot of sense to spend some time on what's my primary interface with my colleagues and customers.

If I need to quickly mute my image, a scene in OBS that shows "be right back" is an immediate Streamdeck key press away. Next to it is the audio source mute key. It's great.

My theory is that any person running for President (US) has to be narcissistic enough to believe that they should be the most powerful person in the world. Any person who believes that they should be the most powerful person in the world is too narcissistic to be the most powerful person in the world, and thereby by the act of running, should be disqualified.
>I agree, which is why everyone who lives off an income rather than assets (which is ~99.5% of us)

I think you're greatly underestimating how many people can "live off [...] assets". This page shows household net worth by percentile[1]. Based off that, you can probably live off investments starting at around the 90th percentile ($61k annual income with 5% withdraw rate), if you live modestly in a low CoL state. Once you get around the 95th percentile you can probably live comfortably in a high CoL state ($129k/year, translates to 87th percentile in california), and by the time you get to the 99th percentile, you can probably live as well as dual earner households with high paying careers ($555k).

The second paragraph of TFA passingly mentions liquid fuels, then fails to elaborate. A blockbuster point is thereby deprived of appropriate emphasis.

According to Wikipedia[1], "Electrofuels, also known as e-fuels or synthetic fuels, are a type of drop-in replacement fuel. They are manufactured using captured carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide, together with hydrogen obtained from sustainable electricity sources such as wind, solar and nuclear power."

I'm not against other approaches (such as vehicles using compressed hydrogen and fuel cells), but the implications of a drop-in replacement fuel are surely immense. As a short-term solution, synthetic fuels would allow us a slower and gentler transition away from our existing fleet of cars and trucks... and, where aircraft are concerned, e-fuels may even be a solid solution for the long term.

I'm sure there are challenges involved, so please no complaints that I'm expecting a miracle. But it disappoints me that so many discussions about hydrogen revolve around the same old topics... stuff like the energy losses associated with electrolysis, or the embrittlement of tanks used to store compressed hydrogen. With due respect, these are valid subjects... but it seems to me that HN readers (and Mr Gates) ought to find synthetic fuels a subject worthy of a great deal more ink. Darn! -- am I the only one who thinks this is exciting??
