Sending money to those countries is against US sanctions. So now we're back to the point a lot of cryptocurrency skeptics say. It's only useful for illegal activities.
I've had my tesla for a year and used fast charging literally once, when I went on a 900 mile road trip. Before that, just charging at my house has been good enough.

If your average daily use of a car is less than the equivalent of driving from Philadelphia to New York and then back again, you will have no problem with keeping your EV charged with a 50A charger in your home.
Maybe I misread the article, but I thought they used tools to ensure they only rebuilt parts of the dependency graph, not wasting zillions of cycles?
Generally I plug into one or two external 4K Dell displays, models P2715Q and U2720Q, with either USB-C to USB-C, USB-C to DisplayPort, or in the past, Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort.

I avoid HDMI ever since I once found I was limited to 30Hz at 4K, and DisplayPort solved that at the time. Today's HDMI standards are a bit hard to follow, so I have just stuck to what's already working.

The P2715Q needs to be power cycled from the wall outlet now and then. If your Mac detects it and sends it signal, but the screen remains black, this is probably the case. I've seen this with several Macs over the years, so I'm comfortable saying it's an issue with the display.

Coworkers have recently observed their U2720Qs occasionally failing to be detected by their 2021 MacBook Pros if they use the same USB-C port to connect to it after sleeping through the night. A reboot of the Mac has clears the issue, and I haven't seen it happen with other models I plug in the same way, so it's likely not the display's fault.

Otherwise, I have to say this setup has been quite reliable across several Mac laptops of different architectures, price points, and pixel densities; lid open or lid closed.
AvE is awesome... I have zero idea why he ends with keep your * in a vice, though.
I just wanted to use a concrete example of a featural writing system. It would of course not be Hangul if it had to accommodate all phonemes. The other direction to take would be to create a sophisticated (probably ML) model that could enable certain features to be optimized, like speed of syllable recognition. If we are constructing a modern writing system then that would definitely be a good approach.
>Today, you're never more than 100 miles from a DC fast charger

This is actually a long distance.

Let's consider where my in-laws live: Abilene, TX. They are 80 miles from a fast charger right now. If I drive an EV to visit them, I have to run a 100 ft cable out their house to slow charge my EV (which, I think is SUPER slow). Or, I can drive 80 miles (each way) to recharge and give myself... 120 miles of range "in town"
This is the crypto lobbyists' wishlist.

"Proposed Federal Crypto Legislation Supported by Digital Asset Ecosystem; Consumer Advocacy Groups Balk"[1]

Bad stuff:

* Creation of a digital asset self-regulatory agency by the CFTC and SEC.

Self-regulation. Right.

* Grant the CFTC specific oversight of certain digital assets and related markets.
Escape from SEC jurisdiction. The CFTC isn't that active, because few small investors speculate in commodities. The SEC just doubled the size of their "cyber enforcement unit", and they bring the hammer down on about two scams a month.

* Exclusion from gross income of up to $200 (per transaction) when virtual currency is used by taxpayers to pay for goods or services.

Smurfing.

> ...how could one possibly get this impression, when it literally says "No one is required to follow The Rule"?

Now hear here miss, while true that the board of directors are all men, and have been so for 5 decades, we reject any notion of sexism as we clearly have here a document which states that “We believe men are superior to women, but we do not require employees to hold this belief…” also it’s voluntary and a compete coincidence that all employees have voluntarily vowed that they agree to this and that all employees are also male. It can’t be sexist since we do not force anyone to agree to do anything.

Hope the context shift makes it a bit easier to see why some people might call this suspicious.
Hey Adam, I just started listening to your podcast and I just finished that episode.

You did a great job, and it was really informative. Thanks for making it!
It’s like saying that if a million diverse chatbots, each of which can learn, we’re to talk to each other for a million years, a new kind of awareness would emerge.
I suspect that this can work for low intensity farming, like fruits and vegetables, but if you want to feed the cattle of the earth, you'll end up running out of pigeon food.
No.

Let me put it another way.

If you found a piece of paper with the words “I am sentient, please help me”, would you try to help the piece of paper, or would you assume someone sentient wrote on this piece of paper?

It all hinges on your understanding of how things would unfold.

If you tried to help the ant find food, it is plausible that it would carry the food to its colony to help it grow and produce more ants.

If you tried to help someone that is suicidal, the probability is non-zero that they would get better and help others in turn.

If you tried to help the piece of paper, say by letting it free outside your door, it is fairly plausible that it will not walk; it will remain there until someone picks it up and puts it in the bin. Whether that constitutes helping a sentient being is semantically meaningless and the community consensus would likely be negative.

LaMDA is like that piece of paper.
Even when not accepting outside contributions, to fulfill their long term support commitment through 2050, they might have to make changes to their current core team.
I've been fortunate in having a scientific background which required writing a lot of essays, later on papers and a thesis. And a lot of technical and user documentation for software in my career.

As the top poster mentioned, "know your audience". You must pitch your material at the right level for the reader. This doesn't mean dumbing it down. It means not including material which isn't relevant for the discussion at hand, and including material which is relevant. As an example, in some internal documentation for end users, one programmer wrote up details about the I2C bus number and addresses and details of some parts on the bus. Not suitable for user documentation, it's just not relevant at that level. They could have mentioned what the user needed to know e.g. configurable options within the application and their effects upon the device function and behaviour. That could be quite detailed, but it doesn't need to include unnecessary detail about the hardware details.

Structure your documentation to introduce concepts that build on each other in order.

For each topic, write an introduction to provide an overview of the concepts and what you will cover, then go into details with examples in logical order, and then wrap it up with a summary and any relevant conclusions at the end. You're taking the reader on a journey with you through some complex topic and you need to treat it like a story with a narrative. It all needs to fit together as a whole, not just a collection of disjoint factoids.

Have a read through various technical books and see how others structure their writing. See how they break everything down into (volumes!), chapters, sections, subsections and paragraphs, and then look at how you can take the system you are documenting, and break it down in a similar way. In many ways this mirrors breaking down a complex set of requirements into applications, libraries, data structures and functions, and depending upon what you're writing about there may be some commonality there. But you aren't just describing the nuts and bolts, you're describing the whole system, conceptually how it is designed and all fits together as a whole, how it's intended to be used, and bring it together in a logical sequence.

Also, look at effective use of figures and tables. With a few good drawings, even very simple diagrams, you can use them to frame what you'll cover in the text. Likewise with tables, don't write out longhand what can be summarised in tabular form.

Just like doing presentations, effective writing comes with practice. And help with review and proofreading will help greatly to spot and improve weak areas. I was lucky to work with a technical writer in my previous job, and she greatly improved the writing technique of many of the software developers on our team. It's a shame that it's not highly prized in software development, because it's an essential tool for effective communication of ideas, and it's a big part of what we should be delivering to our end users and other developers.
I think a lot of good ideas in tech get communicated to people who want a cargo cult and don't understand the underlying good ideas until agile becomes a flavor of waterfall, test driven development becomes development with tests, and devops becomes just another wall between developers and their end product.

How does a 39 week old fetus differ from a newborn? I think the point of contention for most people is on why a mother should be able to end the life of one and not the other.

The majority of Americans do not support elective abortion at 39 weeks, so that means by definition they support some regulations. In other words, there has to be a line drawn somewhere. The question is, where?
2 words for the path in the middle (sort of, at least for me) - adrenaline sports. I don't say which exactly should work for likes of others, that's kind of unique to each of us. For me its climbing, paragliding, skiing/ski touring, a bit of alpinism. Plus diving when near corals, also serious hiking.

Apart from making me properly happy (and some of those are easily post-work ones if you don't have kids, like climbing or paraglide depending on your place), they keep me amazingly fit, which is source of long lasting content from oneself. Vacations spent backpacking in crazy exotics (mostly south east asia) help too.

I can do boring and uninspiring software dev office job that pays the bills and some more (seldom intertwined with nice creative part when actually solving interesting problems, rather than drowning in processes and politics). It doesn't dent the content/happiness part a slightest bit.

Also numerous side effects - one starts eating healthier. Any kind of gaming addiction I had before was cured too, now its just waste of life that repulses me (not making critique - if that's your real kick I guess go for it, but I can't anymore).

There is one slight problem with this, although it otherwise worked me 100% for past 10 years - if you get kids and are not utter sellfish a-hole, you will lose most of this, at least for some (long) time. Positive side is, one day you will be one hell of inspiration for them. Other source of issues is accident - time off everything, for longer, can be depressive.

Talking as proud parent of two small kiddos who exhausted me during WFH to max, and who after 4 month recovery of messed up wrist broke his foot in kindergarten and is on crutches at least for next 6 weeks of amazing summer. I think right now the lowest point in my whole life so far due to all above. But that means it will only go up, eventually. Life is funny.
I like the idea of such a code. But at the same time I see religions with that or similar codes and the folks following it seem just as interested in ignoring it or twisting it as a way to push on those not in their religion.

Now I don’t think that’s the sql lite folks and plenty of folks don’t do that thing… but just a splash of religion doesn’t make me feel much better about anything.
No, not for most people.

When I was your age I couldn't imagine my current self, in my 50's, sick and broke so I did nothing to prepare for the future.

If you're making as much money as you say, by living frugally and making good low risk investments you should be able to save enough money to do whatever you want by the time you're in your 30's.

That's what I would do if I had it to do over.

Note also that if you're like most people you can probably find a way to live on much less than what you're currently spending.

Of course there are no guarantees in life, you could die tomorrow.
Time spent happily is the best possible way of spending it. Were you happy doing nothing? If so, perhaps it time was well spent.
Can you please elaborate about obfuscation?

Regarding being opinionated I believe that it is what we expect from an operator. An operator simulates what human DBAs in this case would do. I am a maintainer of CloudNativePG, and I have been running and supporting PostgreSQL in production for 15+ years, creating also another open source software for backups (Barman). In CloudNativePG we have basically translated our recipes into Go code and tests.

Many people believe that databases should not run in Kubernetes. I not only believe the opposite, I believe that running Postgres in Kubernetes represents the best way, potentially, to run Postgres out there.

Have you actually tried using an e-ink device for taking notes? Sluggish and not nearly good enough compared to Goodnotes (iPad), OneNote (Windows), Xournalpp (Linux).

Hrm, looked it up out of curiosity...

§218a lists that it is not a crime under certain circumstances ("Tatbestand des § 218 ist nicht verwirklicht, wenn"), but the heading of that one is "Straflosigkeit", so "no punishment".

IANAL but this reads like it is not a crime under the listed conditions. Which is different from no punishment.
> Why not?

why does it matter? If a company only hires men would you tell woman that they could just say they identify as men, and therefore there is no problem?
Is a 39 week old fetus a "clump of cells that cannot survive" (any different than a newborn)? I think the real issue is that abortion support isn't as binary as some people make it out to be. I've met very few pro-choice people who support elective abortions at 39 weeks, which means even the pro-choice crowd thinks there needs to be regulations.
The Cosmac ELF.. yes, I too was aware of the 1802, and there are of course other important microprocessors from that time period. But those four covered a lot among themselves - in particular the trio 6502/8080/Z80.
But of course there were others. The Texas TMS9*, the 6800 already mentioned, then there's of course the 6809 (Tandy Color Computer, Dragon (basically a clone), the 6809 variant of the aforementioned SWTPC. Or we can as well find a list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microprocessor_chronology

The elephant in the room in many current attempts to encourage "diversity" is that a genuinely diverse range of opinions and/or beliefs ends up being not welcome at all.
Those numbers are way off, no source is given, it's higher than anywhere else I can find, and the same website seems to think that the average in the UK (where I live) is also £71k per year while the UK National Statistics Office says it is £31.7k (so under half).

So those numbers can't be trusted.
My experience in hypergrowth-to-IPO world is everything gets rewritten a little while after its original authors move on, no matter the language.

My experience is also that picking up a working familiarity with esoteric languages, while more demanding than shitting out boilerplate-heavy code in non-expressive languages, is considerably less demanding than leaning to pass LeetCode interviews. Plenty of people seem willing to do the latter!

I don't have any issue with language evolving and words changing their meaning over time. If the term "DevOps" today simply meant "doing Ops in the cloud", I wouldn't have a problem with that. The word meant X a decade ago, and today it means Y, that's fine. But that's not the reality today. The reality is that a decade ago this term meant exclusively X, and today this term is ambiguous and sometimes refers to X and sometimes refers to Y. When someone talks about "DevOps" today, that term could mean almost anything. It conveys almost no meaning. In that sense the term has definitely "lost its meaning".
You trust a faceless corporation more than someone who demonstrates the ability to learn, grow and adapt their thinking over time?

You and I see this differently.
If you have a Tesla, there is a Supercharger in the permitting phase a bit east of there (Clyde, TX). If you have a legacy automaker EV, advocate for a non Tesla DC fast charger in town or consider installing a Level 2 charger at your in laws. If we want more infrastructure, we must default to action. I can come to help if you need help installing a L2 charger, or talk to Abilene about their fast DC charging situation. The HEB is the location I’d spec out for an install, with the Mall of Abilene or Market Street grocer a secondary site. There’s also a Walmart that could host an Electrify America CCS Charger.

Be patient as we climb the hockey stick adoption rate. Only recently did Buc-ees agree to Superchargers at every national location, for example.

(my model S gains 48 miles of range per 12 hours on a 16A 120V circuit, which works for situations like you describe, but faster charging everywhere is welcome)
I think there was a HN post about a language of hunters. The writer learned to speak it, and because it embedded orientation they did not get lost.

I've learned to steer clear of the "hot topic" threads with over 200 comments. Usually the conversation has long since derailed from the original topic of the link.

There are also smaller, more frequent threads that focus on recurring topics such as big tech power, cryptocurrency, Elon Musk, H1B visas that also head in predictable directions and can be avoided.

Funny, if you look at actual polling and look at how people feel around certain issues, there isn't that big of a divide between Republicans and Democrats.

Perception Gap made an awesome quiz that you can use to see this -> https://perceptiongap.us/

It's moreso media corporations like TheGuardian, the NY Times, Fox News, CNN, etc. who are profiting off baiting their preferred side and increasing the hatred of their side for the other (and these companies make a great profit doing it!)

The Perception Gap (same link as above) found that the more news people consumed, the larger their perception gap (the more they overestimated the amount of extremist views in the other political party)
That's a really bad analogy because I'm really not being asked to identify as a Benedictine here. In fact in order for your analogy to be more correct, the exact opposite -- "they could just say they don't identify as men" -- would have to be said.

I think we can’t just dismiss the impact of sentience by “it’s not sentient”. A mere chatbot is ”relevantly sentient” sociologically, when at least some people, at least some of the time, feel that it is.

This has clearly happened. Although it’s clear that it’s not technically sentient in any sense, the most interesting reasons we are wondering about “when will we have sentient AI??” is for sociological reasons, not technological ones. The sociological impact of people caring about AIs like they care about pets or humans is around the corner, and might be bigger than we expect, even if the AIs are merely fancy autocomplete bots.

People cared about tamagotchi. Now consider a tamagotchi people thought they had a deep existential conversation with or a tamagotchi that talked them out of a suicide.
