This is a developer culture problem as much as it is a technology problem. Developers (and their bosses) care less and less every year about runtime performance, stability, quality and so on. Management just figures it's easier to find a truck full of JavaScript developers than it is to find two good C++ developers, so everyone just agrees to choose technologies that are popular and trade off end user's needs for developer speed and comfort. The industry has sacrificed so much at the altar of "developer convenience".
XOJO appeals to me, it's free for non-commercial use, and very reasonably priced for commercial use. The user community seems nice.

What I’ve found for simpler models is that probability calibration is the difference between a model you can use and ‘nothing more to see folks, please move on…’

I’ve found that calibration frequently isn’t that hard to do, but mostly people don’t do it (e.g. they announce that their model is 99% accurate for a disease that occurs 1 in 10,000 to which the answer is ‘you can beat that accuracy by saying nobody has the disease) or maybe the model sucks (e.g. a calibrated full text retrieval system will never claim its results are better than 70% likely to be relevant.)

Lets not pretend that people actually are willingly making the tradeoff of some performance for portability when it comes to Macbooks.

"Helion hopes that Polaris, will generate more energy than it takes in by 2024. When that target is reached, the company plans a manufacturing facility that can produce 20 fusion generators a day ..."

That is some of the most breathtaking hubris I've ever read. Basically, "As soon as we achieve the greatest advance in energy since chlorophyll ... 30 months should do it ... we plan to quickly distribute it to the world." I dearly wish them well.

> The whole idea of statehood is that people of that state vote on the direction of the state. You then move around the US to find a state that is more aligned with your values.

And the whole point of being a federation with a federal congress, a president, and a Supreme Court is that some issues are important enough to enforce regulations or freedoms across all the states as a whole. If you don't want federal governance, then you're arguing in favor of each state basically becoming their own country, with free movement agreements between them. Which is quite different to what how the US actually is structured.

I was in software engineering for 13 years. Took a couple years off. Moved away from the bay area to idaho and bought farmland. Walked up to a jobsite and got a job framing so i could learn to build my own house, started at $12/hr. Two years later and now i make $50 an hour and own my own business. And i collect rent on the farmland every year.

Ive never been more fit in my life. Which was also a goal of mine. Its like going to the gym all day, or an adult jungle gym. I dont know that i would want to do it for more than 5 years though. So i anticipate starting other businesses at some point in the near future.

I have no debt or dependents though. I cant recommend this path to someone who does have either of those.
I would say it would be better if the 18-year-old could redirect energy to some meaningful stuff, e.g., learn to program. I remember I came to college and spend even more time a day to struggle Python. It then open me up to a lot of other opportunities later.

> exclusively from households that make more than $67

Energy use is proportional to spending, so above median households - regardless how they spend money - contributes far more to demand than below median households. Food and other things can be considered enhanced/transformed forms of energy.

The demand for energy needs to be adjusted in line with supply.
Carbon emission monitoring using permissioned blockchain
Hi Community!

We developed a smart contract engine that automates data collection for Carbon emissions real-time monitoring and reporting.

I would love to hear feedback as we believe this is the best way to improve. I attach a small video of how it works.

If you'd like to access the platform don't hesitate to reach out so I can share with you a demo account.

If anyone would like to jump and be part of the project we would be more than happy to chat!

All the best!

> The key is to let go of those beliefs when the science does show the errors in those beliefs.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you, but it sounds to me like you're saying that as long as somebody hasn't disproved a belief, you're justified in believing it. Is this what you're saying? That seems like it might lead you to keep believing things for which you have insufficient evidence to conclude they're true, and as such would be a less than ideal epistemological tool.

Distilled water should be pretty cheap. You can sometimes buy it as "ironing" water. I use it for my watercooled PCs (plus coolant concentrate), in Switzerland it's about 1 CHF a litre from the supermarkets.

When I need to parse text with Lua, the first thing I reach for is LPeg. It's great when you can create a standalone expression to parse, say, an IPv4 address, then reuse that in a larger expression. And the data can be transformed as it's being parsed (say, converting a string of digits into an actual integer value).

I have a bunch of Lua modules based around LPeg: https://github.com/spc476/LPeg-Parsers

If it lasts for multiple decades, then that flies in the face of the entire history of the US stock market and we're probably in for a US collapse at that point (especially considering most of the biggest companies in the US are multinational) and keeping money in dollars in a bank is probably equally foolish.

I've lived through crypto winters before that have lasted 2+ years. If I had bought a little bitcoin every week during that time I would easily be retired now. I plan to do the same during this downturn, but focused more on stocks (also getting a small amount of crypto). I didn't have the spare cash back in 2008 during the Great Recession, or I would have done extremely well for myself then too.

If for some reason the stock market stays fucked for decades, then I am acquiring other assets too, like precious metals. Also guns and ammo and goods to barter with might not be a bad idea in that case.
According to this pdf[1] they may take soil or tissue samples, but primarily the inspection leans on self-reporting. I’d wager that the (3rd party) inspector is mostly checking that you are following your Organic System Plan. There is also nothing stopping the certifier from sending out a separate consultant the week before to make sure their customer has all their ducks in a row. I know thats a thing for ISO certificates.

Fwiw, most regulatory agencies I’m familiar with in the US rely heavily on self-reporting.

Maybe coming from the chip design world, this is a bit more commonplace and normal-seeming for me. I'm used to huge software packages which cost 5 to 6 figures to license, and additional features which are enabled and disabled based on a license file. No live content (aside from bug fixes). A new version with upgraded features would be another license. I've been out of chip design for a while, so things might be different now.

You don't have a legal expectation of privacy anywhere visible from public property, including even the inside of your house viewable from a public easement/street.

Because of this, it's legal for someone to point a camera right inside your window or front door. It's also illegal (public indecency) for you to be naked in your own window or open door.
Those are all fine, and to some extent it can be considered for engineering, but isn't there a line to draw somewhere? At some point leveraging your expertise to do other work turns into a different role completely, at least in practice. I also think in programming, because it requires a high amount of creativity, there is lots of room for improvement that is only accessed by experienced programmers, which end up transitioning away into those other roles.
> It's not new demand - it's less supply.

Iirc, it is true that fossil fuel production peaked in 2019.

However, it is still very close to 2018 levels. Demand, measured in currency units, has increased by a lot since then.
The future is also AR/VR applications, not only mobile games. But I wonder how they will monetise those.
When will the blockchain ecosystem provide something with that "WOW I need this in my life right now" factor to the average user?

Google went from a research project to incorporated and usable on the internet in roughly two years with a total investment of about $2mm in 2022 money. Let's just say the pace of innovation had some serious roadblocks at the time (they literally had to build their own servers and host them in a garage). Not to mention the status of dev tools, frameworks/libraries, developer availability, etc in 1998 vs today.

We are four years in to A16z alone raising roughly $16 BILLION dollars with their crypto funds. For at least half a decade it's been routine to see announcements of various blockchain companies with $5mm seed rounds (and beyond). Follow-up Series A and beyond in the hundreds of millions with multi-billion dollar valuations.

I've been following the space extremely closely for over five years and I have yet to see an application or solution with that "WOW I need this in my life right now" factor. I still don't know a single person outside of the tech scene that uses anything blockchain related other than trading on an exchange.

Bitcoin is 13 years old with an ecosystem that has had an incredible amount of investment and man hours thrown at it yet we're still getting research papers on how to make the original premise of bitcoin (Peer to peer digital cash) actually usable at any practical scale.

I know LN has been live for some time yet looking at the best available numbers I can find it's only being used by an absolutely insignificant number of the world's five billion internet users (this goes for all other chains and L2+ that can be analyzed).

Been using Unity for almost 2 years. Had no wavering when Unreal demoed lumen, metahumans, etc, nor when Unity doubled down on mobile games (even though it's not my market). I've always liked how Unity doesn't respond to what other engines are doing and instead has just forged forward with what they've always worked toward; it's always been ol' reliable in terms of functionality and future.

However, I don't know how to interpret this in any other way than an exit plan for Unity. It's not an aquisition of ironSource, but a merger; this alone is a big change, but the release itself paints a clear picture of a complete reversal for unity: rather than being a capable dev tool for all platforms + non-games, it looks like they're now going to focus entirely on mobile and non-game applications? That's finally enough for me to consider a new engine (probably Unreal, maybe Godot).

I'm not inherently against whatever this hand-wavy solution to "first create; then monetize" is they're proposing, even though it'll 100% result in more low-effort, highly-monetized games that already plague the industry. I still have a lot of faith in Unity as a company and a paradigm pivot like this could result in something new if they play their cards right but... this being a merger puts a big question mark on what cards they'll have left to play when merging their deck with ironSource.

In short: there's a small chance this news will be very good long-term, but a high chance this news will turn out very bad for the future of Unity and unity devs that don't want to work with the kind of scammy monetization ironSource is known for.
Wat? I didn't say scientific, I said reasonable. In the legal meaning of the term ("just, rational, appropriate"). I'm not making a scientific argument.

> But I wish it had offered more of an explanation about the economics of delivery

I believe delivery is a viable business model, but that isn't what these companies are offering. These companies are trying to monopolize access to restaurants with some "growth & engagement" sprinkled on top.

A simple delivery service where you pay X amount of money to get something from point A to point B would be viable with a network of hyperlocal, real-time-geolocated couriers and modern routing software. It will however not give you a monopoly and the returns VCs hope for (however, in the end the current system doesn't either as VCs spend more money trying to undercut each other's attempts at monpolizing the vertical).

For all the cynicism in this thread, I can't really deep down dislike sama for investing his money like this.

The real estate market won't crash, and it especially won't crash in high-demand areas (Southern California, the Bay Area, Atlanta, SoFlo, Colorado, etc.).

How have I not heard of this? Doing a quick HN search I see it's been posted multiple times over the years, but with minimal uptake.

Perhaps the problem is that the privacy conscious have already deplatformed & do their own syncing to private cloud, whereas the others are still using the platform & don't care as much.

I'm in the first group, but have become increasingly weary of keeping servers online (I self host everything) & I'm see a lot of promising results in Crytomator... but there's one inevitable gotcha: those very platforms can cut you off at some point in the future. So, you'll need to multi sync across multiple platforms for redundancy.

That said, cryptomator looks good!
I'd say this needs a "Show HN" in the title.
Sure but the lack of transparent pricing is not appealing. As far as I can tell Unreal's Playstation/Xbox support is free on the engine side once you sign the console SDK stuff. Unity's comes with their Unity Pro subscription, which has a known price.

The analysis done by Robert Zeidman in 2014[1] published in the Journal of Software Engineering and Applications comes to the conclusion that no code was copied from CP/M by SCP.

Tim Paterson has stated that API and structure compatibility were explicit goals. That can be achieved w/o copying any code.
