Exactly. The main reasons for the way aviation works today are economical. Large planes are more fuel efficient and fuel is very expensive. When fuel becomes very cheap (for example because of dramatically lower electricity prices), this changes dramatically. Large, complicated, expensive planes stop making sense.

For short hops, battery electric is going to dominate. It's the simplest and the cheapest to implement. And unlike jets, smaller is more efficient for those anyway. Instead of carrying people in batches of a few hundred, transporting them in small groups would be both cheaper and more flexible. More runways / pads that you can fly to. Cheap manufacturing cost and mass production. Low complexity. And if we automate the need for human pilots away, these things will basically fly at a very low marginal cost (kwh of electricity + inspections/maintenance).

IMHO for longer ranges, there may need to be some fuel cell or combustion engine based alternatives. Hydrogen is one option. A more logical option would be methane. Much easier to handle, only slightly worse energy density (and well offset by the lack of a need for heavy tanks), easy to source both the traditional way or by synthesizing it. Can work in both fuel cells, piston engines or jets/turbo props. Even synthetic kerosene might be better (there are companies working on that).

The key challenges all of these share currently is 1) availability: lots of prototypes but no volume production of anything yet 2) logistics: most airports are not equipped for this 3) access to cheap renewable energy to synthesize the fuel or power the batteries.

Show HN: rfilerunner: a simple command runner
Hey HN! This is a little project I made a few months ago and have been using on every project since. Where before I'd use Makefiles to keep all the necessary commands for a project written down, rfilerunner has some more accessible expressiveness (i.e. I can just write bash or Python), built-in file watching and parallel execution, and niceties in making simple project-specific CLIs.

"One of the earliest realizations we made at PlanetScale is that the world of databases had been practically untouched by DevOps practices. The benefits of DevOps are numerous, including faster product delivery and continuous integration, so why wouldn’t we want this for our database?"

We had the exact same thought and build https://bytebase.com, though we approach the problem via tooling instead of the database engine itself. Exciting times.
> On Linux, the builtin keyboard don't work because of IRQ problems (See [1]

The exact problem is that an IRQ/ACPI workaround is not needed anymore on modern Zen platforms, and it (the workaround) now breaks compatibility. It's already in linux master, and will be released for v6.0

Commit message of the fix:

commit 9946e39fe8d0a5da9eb947d8e40a7ef204ba016e
Author: Chuanhong Guo <gch981213@gmail.com>

ACPI: resource: skip IRQ override on AMD Zen platforms

IRQ override isn't needed on modern AMD Zen systems.
There's an active low keyboard IRQ on AMD Ryzen 6000 and it will stay
this way on newer platforms. This IRQ override breaks keyboards for
almost all Ryzen 6000 laptops currently on the market.

Skip this IRQ override for all AMD Zen platforms because this IRQ
override is supposed to be a workaround for buggy ACPI DSDT and we can't
have a long list of all future AMD CPUs/Laptops in the kernel code.
If a device with buggy ACPI DSDT shows up, a separated list containing
just them should be created.
I would be super happy to have a water heater that shut itself down before it got worn out and leaked water all over my floor. A reset utility that kept it running for a few weeks more till I arranged for service or replacement would be even better. And sure, I am against paternalism and unprotected water heaters / inkjets should be available for those either knowledgeable or stupid enough to want them. But a default consumer product should shut down before it's at risk of doing something horrible, like spilling inks that are designed to be permanent over an expensive carpet.
> have written a poem every day for 400 days straight to her

I'm sure this was a painful lesson to learn, but I hope you took the right thing away from it.

No healthy relationship is going to include 400 daily poems. It makes it seem like the subject of the poems is being put on a pedestal and idealized, not perceived as a real person with flaws.

It comes across as obsessive and, perhaps, insincere -- how can someone have 400 poems' worth of feelings for someone they've known for less than 2 years? And if they don't have those sincere feelings, what are they trying to accomplish?

Read a little bit about "love bombing" (not because I think you love-bombed anyone, but because it might help you understand how the recipient of this behavior might feel about it).
Will be nice a comparison with Povray.
I don't get it. There is a huge arc in that video, but no shockwave.

I've always wanted a universal compass/visualizer, just to know where & how in the milky-way are we oriented & hurtling towards
Ammonia is another option. That's a bit easier to make than methane, because there is a lot more nitrogen in the atmosphere than carbon.
I guess the difference is, with the art the human can immediately reject/accept and iterate. And a bad image can be crappy, it doesn't break anything.

With software it might take days of testing to verify the result, and then repeat that for every iteration. Would be cheaper to build the thing!

Where AI might work is in some restricted subset of software, like a web CRUD app where you say "I want an app that stores a TODO list with dates". With the constraints of it being crud, it just needs to AI the database and arrangement of fields and so on.

The AI is not programming so much as it is choosing which "rails-like scaffolds" to initiate.
> Sending a transaction is an act of publishing information, so this means publishing certain information is illegal for Americans.

Try sending money to Al Qaeda and you'll find out this not exactly a new thing.

The argument you're making is that the laws made by a democratic government should not apply to a part of the world, because it uses fancy language like "smart contract". That's an extraordinary claim.

The idea that "no-one runs" them is also bogus: every Ethereum node runs them. Having a public-access virtual machine becomes a weird legal matter once the North Koreans start using that for proliferation.
Automax's data only represents only a small subset of cats sold, and they are absolutely not an enthusiast brand. Don't use their data.

Manuals have actually had a remarkable resurgence in recent years. A good case study of this is the new Supra. Toyota clearly misread the market and are now eating crow, rushing to market a cobbled together transmission to save their sports car.

It's the twilight of ICE engines - if you are still buying a new enthusiast vehicle in 2022 that's not electric, what are you doing not getting a manual?
What do they censor besides Russian wartime propaganda?
> Apples M1 only worked because everything is in one chip.

That’s not true in any way?
I did the AJATT method way back in the day when it was relatively new. So heavily leaned on Anki, whilst also consuming loads of natural Japanese through music, shows, games, conversation etc.

In my experience doing both in tandem was the magic combination. Anki without native media is mildly pointless. Native media without Anki is super inefficient.
Used in equal measure you find your access and understanding of native media continually ratchets up day by day every 3000 cards I would notice a very significant jump in my abilities when consuming native media and partaking in conversation.

Nothing else has really come close for me out of all the other things I've tried.
but then what has changed?
Very much doubt I am allowed to. We are racing to recover before EU reaches peak traffic.
We had an arc flash incident at a Digital Realty DC years ago. The project was to build out a data hall to be used by a prominent social networking website. Someone attempted to incorrectly terminate a wire on the UPS battery bank.. huge number of lead acid batteries all wired together. The technician had a sizeable portion of skin burnt off one arm.
I agree that this level of communication should be met in a relationship, but I feel like the form is possibly an area for improvement. Talking face to face being preferable, and texting or calling if not.

Physical notes are fine but it feels less natural.
When you hand crank an engine to start it, you really feel connected with the car you’re going to drive.

An automobile doesn’t have the same connection with a rider as a horse does.

I get it. I’m a car person too. I loved stick shifts and in the beginning they were much better than automatics. But now they aren’t. Automatics are much faster, more energy efficient. So all the arguments against it have evaporated to “you can’t feel the connection”.

I wonder if the technology laggards feel the same way some of us do about transmissions…
I forgot about that. Better than anything I came up with, thank you.
Should I?

I have docker-desktop for the things I need it for - building the odd linux native image, or running testcontainers for postgres, same as we do when building on linux - and it works great.

But for the day to day stuff, no.
For some people comparing to Apple is useless - Macbooks could be a thousand times faster and last for a year on battery, they still would be 100% useless to me because they don't run the software I need on a daily basis.
So it's "the only path" if in a relationship, with the alternatives being living in sin or not having a relationship. That is really very traditional Catholicism
I find it quite ironic that a AI company like OpenAI seems to use word lists to prevent inappropriate content creation.
When the autorouter was removed, I lost interest in working with KiCad.
There are published excuses for why you don't need/want the autorouter, but they read like fanboy stuff.[1] The removed autorouter can still be run, but the integration isn't very good.[2] It's too bad they gave up instead of improving the autorouter. It wasn't that bad.

Great headline,but an illustrated manuscript is probably following the news, not leading it. Trade travelled faster than scriptorium and in all likelihood promissory notes to bankers faster than goods. Gossip spread at the speed of sail, rowed galleys, and horses.

Serious money at play, playing the market in fustian and bombast and black cloth. England survived at this time via trade through a very small number of specific "staple" ports in the low countries and northern France. Word would have leaked out as wool sold.

It used to be that one of the best things about working at Google was the "blameless postmortem". As long as you are able to learn from an incident and weren't attempting to look at private data, then you could write up a postmortem document and actually use that as part of a promotion packet. Google would loose a key part of its soul if they were to change that.
Question: Is the Sonos thing that you can walk around your house streaming playing whatever on your phone and the speakers know where you are and automagically turn on, connect, and play the sound?

Is that it?
Interesting interview from a great researcher with many contributions to the field. I wish there were less ideological overtones in this article. I really think her life's legacy deserves better than this discussion. Why not talk about actual Computer Science and what she did?
Honestly, with the lack of documents that really need printouts these days, I just go to local UPS and spend a few dollars a year on what I do need to print out, instead of spending however much money on a printer that mostly collects dust.

disagree, when it comes to a relationship some things turn into rituals that are helpful. what the author is doing is more reflection than just paying attention to their partner. daily reflection is very healthy, whether you do it for yourself or you share it doesn't matter. but it doesn't lose its impact.
I agree 100%. Marriage works for some, but we shouldn’t assume it works for all. People should be encouraged to seek the model that works for them best. That said, if you have a relationship that works, it’s definitely worth putting time into it in some way.
I think mongol is right to be careful. There wasn't one coherent old Norse, it had east-west variation even then for example.

But it should give the broad strokes, just like talking about PIE is certainly a broad stroke.
I tried to build a product remotely with someone in a slightly different timezone.

It just didn't have the same feel as sitting next to each other. Fewer ideas generated. Problems take longer to fix. Motivation is lower. Async communication just doesn't always work.

> My dream is being able to create a deck where you have both vocab and then sentences that use the vocab. You'd make sentences that use the vocab dependent on the vocab being learned first, so that over time you'd gradually unlock more material that uses your base knowledge.

You can also go the other way. Have a huge database of sentences, and pick example sentences for new cards which only use vocabulary which you already know (besides the new word which you want to learn through that card, of course). I do that for my Japanese SRS app, and it works decently well from the feedback I get from my users.

Show HN: Yare 2 – Programmable RTS game
Hi HN! About a year ago I showed my side project Yare here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27365961) and was overblown by the feedback and support. Since then a lot has changed and I'm excited to share the beta of 'Yare 2' (https://www.yare.io/).

The simple programming game has evolved into something a little more complex with the ability to not only control the units with code, but now practically anything is programmable. E.g. the players can build their own UI elements to play the game with (when you choose 'play with mouse and keyboard' on the homescreen, it showcases what is possible to create).

This is a passion project that I don't plan to anyhow excessively monetize and will be always free to play, but I'm worried that it's perhaps growing into a too chaotic/confusing game and losing its initial simplicity.
No kids I take it?
I'm so confused. I honestly think we said the same thing. But I'll go with whatever. It wasn't really a serious point.
As much as I'm philosophically uncomfortable building software for ill-defined problems like time stretching, audio source separation, and image recognition, I wonder if AI can be used to produce a autorouter with better performance. I've seen some companies already working on that.

> The flip side is that in representative democracies (especially with broken voting systems that are not even remotely representative such as in the US, UK, and most of the world) you are very limited in your choices of leader and thus sentiments which are popular with the public can be completely ignored. There is no mechanism to force a public initiative that has legal weight, so you have to hope that a major party will be in favour of your pet issue and they can convince other bureaucrats to support something that is popular.

Please don't lump the extremely broken US political system with the slightly less broken British and former colonies (Canada, Australia, NZ, etc.) and even less so with the rest of democratic countries around the world which is usually using representative systems. Furthermore, some countries have explicit constitutional schemes where a petition with enough signatures needs to be voted on in parliament or even called in as a referendum.
I feel like C is somewhat manageable on microcontrollers. Programs tend to be smaller (micro!), you can often do static allocation which mitigates a lot of the memory management issues, and you're also often dealing with simple types and bit manipulation which is where C shines.

In larger programs on full-fat operating systems, programs tend to be much larger (esp. if you include libraries - dealing with libraries being one of the most complex things in C), and you have to deal with sophisticated allocation patterns, and complex types (webs of pointers), abstractions and business logic which is where C basically leaves you on your own and provides very little in terms of structure or guard rails.

Comparatively few German soldiers were stationed at the Holocaust death camps. The people working on the railroads didn't kill the Jews. The people processing Jewish identities to build lists of people to pick up didn't kill them. The neighbors who reported the Jews didn't kill them. The statisticians who calculated how many people could be killed per month, and how to transport them all efficiently, didn't kill them. The chemists who sold Zyklon B to the SS for use on humans didn't kill them. Somebody else would have done the same thing anyway.

If you agree with the above statement, then the basic rationalization of "I didn't directly do it, therefore I am innocent" holds. But if you disagree with the above statement, you acknowledge that simply not being the person who "pulls the trigger" does not absolve you of doing the work leading up to it.

Or put another way: "All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to design their death camps."
According to the wired article, the key to remembering is reviewing the information the moment you’re about to forget. It makes it sound like the scheduled review times are designed to maximize the effect.

Never tried it but all the comments made me curious.
If the binary code involved was only the machine code which dealt with the encryption algorithm itself and not any sort of functionality or sequence, then yes. Courts have placed the burden on the program's "structure, sequence and organization".

If one were to take a small sample out of a copyrighted binary which only implemented functionality and had no remains of the creative process behind it, I'd wager they would be in the clear.

That said, I feel like machine code copyrightability is questionable on its face. A packaged binary with resources and assets such as text would be, but the machine code itself is a more complicated issue. Admittedly this would jeopardize libraries, since they don't contain any expressive elements like interactive programs do.
I used this feature so much when I was in school.

> but on the other hand the best researchers/engineers I know have a huge number of facts and examples memorized and ready at their fingertips

The US is staunchly anti-memorization. It wasn't until I did a year abroad in a French university where the power of memorization was so obvious. One of the math students I spent time with told me it's the French tradition to "carry everything around in your head". They were studying symplectic geometry in their sophomore year of their bachelor's!
The AMD offerings are much closer to M1 although they're not yet on TSMC 5nm so they don't quite match it. It's a historic event. Intel was #1 in laptops for an eternity. Even when the Pentium 4 was being outclassed by AMD Intel still kept the crown in mobile. This time around they first got overtaken by AMD and then by Apple and are now #3. Puts into perspective how huge of a miss their process node fail was.
Their carbon footprint is shrinking, but it's still higher per capita then most other countries in the world except China (or, for the USA and Germany, including China).

And, while progress has been made, fossil fuels are still by far the cheapest source of energy around, especially if you don't have great expertise. So, in principle, we should be letting the developing nations of the world use much more fossil fuels to power their economies, while those that have been using it for centuries at this point should use far less.

Note that I'm not actually advocating for this, as stopping global warming is far more important than some abstract notion of historical fairness in international politics, which is even more idealistic than world peace.
