How to keep your Terraform code DRY by using Terramate
As one of the authors of both the Zigbee Smart Energy Profile v1 [0] and the pre-IEEE seed that became P2030.5 Smart Energy Profile 2.0 [1], we did anticipate this and included a randomized modifier to any demand response or price signals coming from the grid to provide the “jitter” discussed in other comments.

The problem here is that these thermostats have NTP-synched clocks and come with default schedules out of the box and failed to consider the importance of staggering over a 5-min time period. It’s understandable from a consumer acceptance standpoint (“I set it to start at 6a, why did it turn on at 6.03a?!”), but that could be solved with some messaging.

Better still would be for future thermostats to be required to connect to the Internet and to the grid’s price signals or utility’s servers in order to receive rebates. This would see them base behavior on pricing signals, which would include a device-specific random offset to the price taking effect.

Resideo (formerly Honeywell Home) acquired some very cool tech that would solve this issue, too. Developed by Whisker Labs (formerly WeatherBug) It combines a weather feed with a custom thermodynamic model of each home to adjust the start time of each setpoint. This provides both energy savings and more comfort. For example, if it’s an abnormally cold Feb day, it would start the heater earlier to reach the desired setpoint rather than a normal thermostat starting at a precise time and hitting the setpoint later in the morning.[2]

Final fun fact: ~40% of smart thermostats never get connected to the Internet. Many people are price insensitive enough to buy a communicating thermostat and just slap it on the wall without bothering to program the Wi-Fi settings. There are sneaky ways some manufacturers and ISPs are trying to overcome this, though it’s a borderline dark pattern. [source: I used to work for a large ISP’s connected home ecosystem team]

This doesn't make any sense, though, as nobody turns on a heater for 10 minutes. Even if there is drift of 10-15 mins, there would still be a peak usage at 6:15 when all of the 6AM 'starters' are sucking power from the grid.
The mere existence of a negative feedback mechanism does not imply a "fix". Rather depending on the magnitude, momentum, and damping, can result in many different system behaviors, including increasing oscillation. Meanwhile the current conditions cause actual damage to people's lives, even if they may converge in the future. So no, market fatalism is not very insightful here.
This is undefined behavior. Compile with -fsanitize=undefined and run it, you will get a runtime error.
Haha. Suffice to say that it's possible to help an adult family member with problems. It makes perfect sense to cast a wider net if out of ideas.

This might be interesting read to those unfamiliar with CJK, but character bloat(?) isn't remotely a recent thing. It's actually at least a couple hundred years old.

The Kangxi dictionary (1716), an authoritative dictionary of Chinese characters, contains definitions for 47035 characters, even though only a couple thousand are in common use. Quoting from Wikipedia: "The dictionary was the largest of the traditional dictionaries, containing 47,035 characters. Some 40% of them are graphic variants, however, while others are dead, archaic, or found only once. Fewer than a quarter of the characters it contains are now in common use."

All of these archaic (or even bogus in some cases) characters found in the dictionary are now part of the Unicode standard, of course :) The unihan database even has a field that shows the page number where the character appears in the Kangxi dictionary. If you're wondering why 65536 characters isn't enough for everyone, the junk in Kangxi dictionary is a significant contribution.
How many new units have been added over the last 20 years?
I am not misunderstanding, I am telling you the reality of the situation: People don't do that. That is literally what this report is about, that "a third of new subscribers to news publications cancel in the first 24 hours". They read articles sparingly across many different sources, and they will not pay for a recurring subscription across them all. Newspapers can either ignore that and slowly die out, or find more effective business models that match how people actually consume content now.

This mindset of "no, it is the people who are wrong" is completely backwards, and no amount of lecturing will make it true.
This problem is entirely industry created. The tech to mitigate has been around for what seems like 30 years. There's just no industry cooperation.

Spot on. The connection between these types of videos seems to be an inability to appreciate that a filmed encounter is ultimately inauthentic. I wonder if young people who have always had smart phones and perhaps have always been filmed by parents and friends live in a different reality a bit. They went to school probably guarding their “image” at all times from a cellphone video.

Thank god there were no cellphones during my high school goth phase.
Any time a social media system goes down, I feel like Depth Gauge in Waterworld[0].

It is an end (albeit temporary) to lack of social contact (because they are too busy to meet in person or talk to me face to face), but with an ironic boom, I only hear how miserable they are because the social media is down.

The way I understand it, that lyric sheet is contextualized in the way that "the kids" -- and mostly young women at that -- absolutely went nuts for this sound, but the grown folk couldn't make out half of the lyrics.

Netflix’s Grand Plan to Save Itself
About a decade ago, I briefly worked for a company with the same business model. Since most Windows installers require Administrator privileges, the DLLs that they side-load will inherit these elevated privileges and can scan the user's machine for anything they are interested in.

The way this software worked (as far as I can recall): The installer bundled a DLL from which only a few minor functions were exposed to display offers within the host process. Usually, the only thing the client portion of this DLL needed was a HWND. During initialization, the DLL stored a copy of itself in the user's temp directory. The host application unknowingly then used rundll32 to load this copy as a separate (also elevated) process. This process would run at least as long as the calling process would. Once in place, the process would scan the user's computer for specific use patterns (geoinformation; MS Office presence; what language; etc.). In order to retrieve the latest advertising "offers", the DLL called home with this information over a secure pipe and checked for updates. This data was stored and referenced if the same user invoked the DLL again at some point. Only at this point would any actual targeted ads be displayed in the client application's window.

Things may have changed since then - these were the pre-Windows 10 days - but if it's anything like this, it's wise to avoid the Unity installer.
It's so surprising I would bet the company has misunderstood the regulation.
Who said anything about blind or tradition? That seems like stuff you injected into this convo, not me.

I trust institutions who have a strong track record of predictiveness and desirable outcomes. Vanguard has both in spades, and has earned their authority. If they stop accurately predicting future behavior and/or stop producing desirable outcomes, that will change their authority on matters of investing.

Not trusting predictiveness and desirable outcomes seems prone to bias. If your alternative is that you only trust yourself, that seems like both a paranoid and privileged outlook, given how much time and how many resources you'd need to expend to gain even half of the knowledge Vanguard as an institution has about operating as an investment advisor.
Luckily our (and probably your) justice system isn't built on "an eye for an eye" then, and instead on punishment and rehabilitation.

And to avoid ambiguity, you can just include the root zone in all URLs you’re using as well (unless the server you’re talking to doesn’t implement the DNS RFCs correctly, which sadly is getting more and more common in recent years)
> Documents? I had the strong impression that there are no documents written in runes.

One of the original goals of Unicode was to be able to computerize every document. I still have some old linguistics books in which characters have been handwritten into typed or even typeset text. So these are the types of documents being referred to: academic papers.

Some fancy books have photographs of ancient writing; I’m not sure if Unicode tries to encode such sources and I pretty much doubt it (how would you even know what to call the symbols? You touch on this in your comment). However often they are attached to treatises that order the characters in some way (I.e. index an alphabet) in which case the first case above would apply.

In other words: thanks to some scholars who wrote down and ordered runic alphabets, you can now discuss runes with your friends and colleagues through email.

> vast majority of people were lucky to not starve on regular basis for most of human existence

This is not likely. It seems hunter-gatherers spent less time and energy on getting food, had it more reliably, and it was more nutritious. They were taller and healthier, and there were much fewer of them. Granted, infant mortality was high, which makes sense (it's kind of insane how human reproduction/growth works). Studies of modern hunter-gatherers show they work less, have more leisure time.

Modern humans have been around (at least) 100,000 years, and agriculture only 12,000 years. Most of modern human existence, people were eating well, until agriculture simultaneously made it harder and enabled the population to scale up past what the natural environment supported.

> I thought net neutrality activists, myself among them, just didn't want them to discriminate based on content/source/destination?

QoS is all about discriminating based on traffic source/dest/port etc

> On the other hand, does that mean that, provided QoS-based content/source/destination-agnostic throttling is allowed, you are pro net neutrality?

I'm against ISPs being able to offer tiered services that block or slow down sites based on how much you pay but I think they should otherwise be allowed to engineer traffic as they see fit
Seems pretty easy to enforce. Fine Airbnb for each listing in violation of the law.
Did you pick Tasmania because it is just about exactly on the other side of the planet of Ontario? Are you going to pump the hydro through the earths core? Months of energy storage for ~500.000 Tasmanians is like a day or two for the ~15 million Ontarians.
This boils down to greed and selfishness, but people even on HN don't want to call spade a spade so they dance around it and give complex somersault answers because they are afraid/too socially conscious to speak the truth.

I think that’s more due to the relative attractiveness of the cities. London, NYC, Paris etc have become extremely expensive because they’re world cities, attracting huge amounts of people and jobs. That’s not really the case for Vienna, or Glasgow, or Riga etc

they need to start implementing and enforcing extremely high fines on illegal listings and then actually go out and try to enforce it. That's the only way it ends imo.
A Study of HTTP/2’s Server Push Performance Potential
The index fund approach doesn't suggest that index funds will always do really well, it suggest that it will always do better over a long period of time than individually-selected stock. Any conditions that cause index funds to do poorly seems to also cause most individual stocks to do poorly. Index funds are a risk-mitigation strategy.

Of course it is possible after the fact to find collections of individual stocks that have outperformed the index fund. Trillions of dollars have been staked on trying to do so ahead of time, with little to no success.

Is it possible in the future that groups of funds will somehow perform worse than the individual stocks making up those groups? It's very hard to see how that could happen over any extended period of time.
Telecoms trying to use their political clout to get cash from third parties is quite bold even for them. Of course Brendan Carr is involved. Is there any sort of precedent for this? I don’t remember electric utilities getting to shake down air conditioner manufacturers when their products created a need for infrastructure upgrades.
>You can get all that online.

No, you can't.
Just a minor myth busting here. Vincent Van Gogh was absolutely well known and well liked as a painter while he was alive. He didn’t make a lot of money at it, and rich people didn’t fawn over his paintings, and he definitely suffered from mental illness before he committed suicide, but the myth that he was a failure as an artist during his life while he was alive is just that… a myth.

The guy is the GOAT and while he was alive… many… many… other artists also saw him that way. His contemporaries absolutely adored him, and even tried to emulate him. His work was known to be important during his life to even the most financially successful of painters.

I suppose if you limit the concept of “success” to how much money one earns in their life, then fine Van Gogh was not very financially successful, but he was monumentally successful and recognized as such during his life by the only real measure that matters: Impact.

This is why as a journalist or a writer, it is important to confirm “what you know” before committing it to a piece. If you don’t verify everything you risk perpetuating myths instead of realities.
The author "previously led AI, Data Science, and Human Computation orgs at Google, Facebook, and Twitter."

And is now writing an ad critical of the company he worked at, about an area he was involved in leading.

This is an interesting route to take in a career. Work for a company, make mistakes, move to another company, and use your old mistakes as a selling point for the new company.

I know this is a harsh take, but it doesn't instill any confidence in the results here. What happens when mistakes happen at Surge? Are the people who made the mistakes going to be around to fix them, or are they going to jet off to another position where they once again talk about their previous failures.
Never heard of this before. I'm the same. Unless I do a multi hour intense exercise (steep hike, 60k bike ride), I can always stay up later.

> But rate hikes are driving higher rents

This doesn't make sense to me. Rate hikes decrease spending overall, so why would rent be any different?
Like the entire Internet now... Got it.

These apps don't allow for people to choose the content they see. Even the front page of CNN.Com is regularly now citing TikTok clips that went "viral". In the next few years there will be no way to avoid this staged and shilled content anywhere. Especially as monopoly platforms begin to collaborate with each other to create marketing campaigns.

Suggestive/manipulative marketing has a stranglehold on the Internet without most people knowing. Things displayed on site front pages are there for a reason, and it's not usually because it naturally went viral, it's there because it makes companies a lot of money.... The real content, made by authentic people is buried by algorithms and under a sea of staged and copycat content. (Just my opinion though)

As someone who understands C macros relatively well and who makes frequent use of them, I don't think I understand what __EXP_COUNTER__ does, and how it is different from __COUNTER__. I would have to experiment each time before using it, and would then quickly forget again the intricate details about expansion order, etc., similar to how every time I do some kind of STRINGIFY macro I have to make sure to use the right number of forwarding macro calls.

Is there a concrete use case for this that really can't be solved by __LINE__? I've used __LINE__ in the past to generate unique identifiers used in macro-generated code chunks. I don't see that non-uniqueness thing you mentioned causing any problems except for global variables (so not really an issue in my book).

As much as I love the C preprocessor as a crude tool that can solve many practical issues that are solved in other languages with a magnitude more complexity (besides solving problems that other languages don't have), I think the value doesn't come from its unintelligible execution model. And if __EXP_COUNTER__ is so difficult to understand, I personally don't like it.

Ah fair, thanks for pointing it out! Wasn't my issue, just the minimal reproduction of behaviour that happened over a few external modules, causing this issue.
It’s banned in China AFAIK and people seem to use it there all the time.
In East Asian cultures that use Han characters, people used to make up new characters when the need arises.

These days, we scroll though the Unicode standard and find rarely used characters that were accidentally added and imbue them with new meaning. (yes, this is seriously a thing)
My guess is that they do a lot of testing in the cloud, on anonymous virtual servers, just like everyone these days.

I’m not so sure. From the article:

“If their laptops turn out to be incompatible, students don’t have a lot of other options. Examplify’s software doesn’t support desktops, Chromebooks, or computers that run Linux either — only MacBooks that run macOS Catalina or above, or Windows laptops new enough that they offer Windows 10 or 11, but old enough not to come with the new Intel processors.”
That sets the theoretical limit for an algorithm trained on a dataset labeled by outsiders. Most people should be able to label the sentiment of their own statements with much higher accuracy.

Making such a dataset is much harder than letting Mechanical Turk workers label reddit comments, and you somehow have to set up a situation where people are honest about their labels, but the rewards might be worth it.
They want to offer monetization features to Unity-based games.

> Unity already has Unity Ads, "our monetization solution for mobile games that enables game developers to monetize their entire player base", but obviously there are benefits to combining that with IronSource: "Unity and ironSource's complementary data and product capabilities will give creators access to better funding for user acquisition (UA) and monetization to successfully scale their games and accelerate their economic performance."
If the private market won’t do it, why not?
> Housing and land is a non-transable good, and therefore there should be heavy state intervention on it

That's a bold claim. What led you to believe that's the case? And what is a "non-transable good"?
Oh yeah, this trend is toxic. It's a cost-saving technique.

GraphQL is another toxic technology that relieves the responsibility of designing the API to users instead of the application owners. May as well just give folks access to your DB and have them run SQL queries themselves. Look! No need for a UI.

All this at the expense of the software engineer that has to manage all this complexity themselves.
Strange - GPT3 works well. I wrote a prompt:

Write an emotion that is expressed in a given image label.

Label: "[label]"

Emotion: [filled by GPT3]

Then, for "you almost blew my fucking mind there." -> "Suprise", for "hell yeah my brother" -> "Pride", "Nobody has the money to. What a joke" -> "Anger". Though, to be fair, for "Yay, cold McDonald's. My favorite." it was "Happiness". Still better than the crowdsourced human baseline.

Anger
