Just Like you said.

This, afterall, is not an informative piece of writing; but rather more akin to clickbait.

Looking at OPs username and assuming he isn't taking the piss, he should be happy to have generated enough traffic by now.
It varies pretty wildly, often efficiency ends up being dependent on the load since power supplies usually get optimized for a certain load range. Individually, the numbers might not look too bad, but when you think about how many individual AC->DC supplies you have, the losses can add up.

I've been involved in a side project developing a consumer-friendly rating of "power quality" for AC devices and AC->DC power supplies which summarizes efficiency over a range of loads, as well as incorporating power factor measurements. We've been testing common devices such as USB power supplies for phones and such, as well as things like laptop power supplies, due to how numerous they are. We've had a few surprises, for example, Apple power supplies generally don't fare that well.

Detailed test data is public for some devices but not all, since we're trying to find paths to revenue starting with subscriptions for full test results. Let us know if you have feedback.

You might also be interested in the Youtube channel of my friend/PQS collaborator, where he's done some "deep dive" videos of testing some of the devices in the PQS database- particularly AC->DC USB power supplies due to how ubiquitous they are now- https://www.youtube.com/c/AllThingsOnePlace/ .

This is why I have always wondered about the secondary domains companies have for major incidents or auth or internal employees. If you train people to think that several can exist, few will question another appearing.

Shouldn’t having multiple domains for different use cases be considered a security risk going forward? Is it already considered a bad practice?
Same, and writing bespoke keyloggers for RuneScape GP
Very long time ago, I worked on a very large code base for a medical imaging platform that ran on multiple operating system platforms and had a shelf-life of 10+ years. The code had two personalities.

First was all the scaffolding/framework and inter-process/server protocol code was meticulous and beautiful. As a young c/c++ favoring engineer, I was very impressed and my design thinking was influenced a lot by this, for a long time.

Second, there were these deep algorithm implementations for digital image processing pipelines and also dicom data protocol implementation stuff. These "plugins" or "processing elements" were heavily optimized to squeeze out every last microsecond out of the start-to-finish execution wall time. So the code was hard to follow just by reading. Also, there's no way to understand this code without knowing the domain knowledge (studying the Matlab implementation of the image processing algorithm – to understand that required having a basic theoretical understanding of signal/image processing concepts).

But this was great as different engineers/teams could work on different deep algorithm processing elements and the framework/scaffolding ensured there were no leakages or undue blast-radius of any messy bugs.

A decade later I found myself staring at a very large php codebase. This codebase had a lot of sprawl but no depth. It was messy (bad idioms, wasteful of resources, functionally buggy etc) but it was easy to read and understand. PHP + the framework/scaffolding we had was very forgiving of these mistakes. The application would continue to chug along even with a lot of warnings and some data induced errors. It took some mental attitude adjustment to not lose it every time I saw crazy stuff like 3-level nested for-loops that would unpack an array of huge serialized objects and iterate over their elements only to not use the results for any final response rendering at all.
PV can scale down pretty far, yeah, but it can also scale up. Having guys crawl around on rooftops trying not to damage your shingles is a lot more expensive than just setting up some panels in a field. The majority of PV getting installed is utility-scale, not household-scale, so you can buy cheap PV energy and live half a block from a supermarket and half a block from a chichi cafe.

As for costs, there's been concern for more than a decade about the "utility death spiral" scenario: some users disconnecting from a grid would spread the fixed costs of things like transmission and black start over a smaller number of remaining users, leading more of them to disconnect, and so on. So far it hasn't materialized anywhere, but as far as I know it could. I don't think the same scenario is likely with "legacy energy" like gasoline and natural gas, because the fixed costs are so low.
I remember someone posting a chat thread from one of the more advanced AIs within the last few years wherein they asked it who the president of the US is, and it was not able to answer.

Interestingly, this is a question my father would ask patients as a paramedic who was trying to assess people's consciousness. Another would be, "what day of the week is it?".

I'd say that these technologies are just like magic - they can seem to do things that defy your expectations, but oftentimes they fall apart when looked at from a different angle.
Long-time C user: I don't mind them at all, there are only a few which are extern so need to be in the header, and static ones are rarely needed if you write "upside down".

> If the Russian Federation were to balkanize into smaller states, the Chinese leaders certainly wouldn't mind.

There's some territory there that the USSR took from China back when China was weak. Once those roles are reversed, who's to say China won't start looking in that direction?

lol, I didn't even realize the wrong associations I would create here. Glad you liked it anyway. :)

I guess my choice of name was not great. I also considered pseudo-MIR but that didn't really capture it, either. And "formally specified fragment of Rust" isn't very catchy.^^ "CoreRust", maybe it should have been "CoreRust"...
The problem with the OP's criticism and yours is that it starts from the assumption that PG has set out to "sell" the reader faux-actionable insights.

What he's really doing is answering the question "how can I come up with startup ideas?", which has always been asked of him and the other YC partners frequently.

And his answer is: you shouldn't try to come up with startup ideas; that's not how it works. Instead you should just notice if/when they appear before you.

He's clearly not claiming to be doing what the author is accusing him of trying to do. He's just explaining something he'd noticed after (at that time) 7 years of funding/advising some of the most successful startups.

(That said, later in the essay he goes on to offer actionable recipes for formulating startup ideas anyway).

In answer to your question: you can take his advice, or not, to stop trying to confect startup ideas, and instead just pay attention to the opportunities you notice from your own experience.

You can. They'd just ask for your payslips/tax returns.
I've had a couple moments like that in my education. I've described it as stumbling about in a dark room, and suddenly the lights came on. One was when I struggling to learn how a computer worked. It was just a collection of arbitrary facts to me, more and more, until suddenly -- shazaam! And the rest was obvious and trivial.

Thanks for your version. I enjoyed reading it!
You make a great point — it seems inevitable that the next logical step is for Tesla to sell your driving data.
What amazes me is how little we talk about hydrogen (H2) fuel cell vehicles.

Because, unless we get a tremendous breakthrough in the next 5 years, electric battery vehicles will be a very big pain.

-Batteries are terribly expensive (and prices are not going down as fast as expected)

-Batteries degrade too fast

-Batteries take too long to charge

-Electricity prices are already going up terribly fast to take advantage of the boom (and blaming the war, and everything else to justify it's rise)

-Batteries pollute a lot more than previously though

-recycling Batteries is hard

-Batteries component materials are rare

-if you get into a crash your Battery will most likely be affected - which means you will probably have to spend almost the price of a new vehicle

Can we bet a little more on the most abundante substance on the universe?

I know it also has it's problems... But they do seen less...
Thanks for the feedback, Really appreciate for the inputs. I'll try to integrate these in further content.
I've inherited code where I thought sections were well written, but probably not an entire project.

"good" is incredibly subjective, and subjectivity is temporal in nature. there
been times when I thought code wasn't"good" at the time of inheritance, but several years later, found appreciation for it. Perhaps not enough to consider it good...but some appreciation.

I've tried to let go of classifying code as good or bad, or any other subjective means.

Non-exhaustive list of things I'm more concerned with these days:

- How long does it take for a new hire to onboard and be productive?

- How quickly are we able to respond with bug fixes?

- Do we have enough test tooling to have high enough fidelity coverage to say we've implemented something, or that an issue is fixed?

- How observable is it in production?

- How reproducible are any issues?

- How accurate is the documentation?

- Is there enough test coverage to be able to reimplement a portion with confidence?

You can probably take all of those things and distill it down into a "good/bad", but I think in general it's better to look at specific concerns that are managed over time.

I'm less concerned about the current state of the code, and far more concerned with how easily I can change the state of the code without incident.

Why would you hope for suffering of millions?
My company matrix.ai was working a new cloud orchestration platform and Nix was core to how customers would package their applications/containers for deployment. The OS development is halted for now while we are working on a secrets management system.

So it was only natural to fully dog food Nix. We also introduced it to clients during our computer vision machine learning consulting work. It was the only way to get reproducible projects involving a complex set of Python dependencies, Tensorflow, CUDNN, CUDA, Nvidia libraries (there is a very strict set of requirements going all the way to hardware). I actually first tried doing it with Ubuntu and apt, it did not work. Setting up your own nixpkgs overlay is a must in these scenarios.

It is definitely something that is easier to fully dial in when you start from scratch. It's a comprehensive system so it will take time for adoption. I always recommend starting with it as a development environment tool first, then consider automating your OS conf or user profile or VMs... etc.

I thought ordinary Rust is small enough for embedded if you took care to include only necessary parts? Do you miss something?
About 1/4 of cars on the road globally will be electric but Europe and China will have a larger share than USA. Still, that means something like 25% of gas stations and parking lots worldwide having fast chargers. If they can't make that number, imagine the impact on driving when 1/4 of drivers are frustrated and their trips unrealistic. Passenger car ownership itself may fall, which would both hit the auto industry and bolster mass transit companies. But at the same time demand would be surging for ICE vehicles / infrastructure and gas prices will probably rise due to their devestment in anticipation of the EV revolution.
Could you introduce some examples, like ODMs?
This may reduce the quality of the posts as those with less try to emulate those with more.
Are you purposely forgetting the billions in state and federal charger subsidies, and the billions in residential solar subsidies being paid out? Total US energy consumption right now is at the same level it was in 2007.
I'm quite worried about the future of cars, especially EVs. I will never own a Tesla due to their always-on tracking and blatant anti-consumer practices like hiding upgrades on the car behind a paywall. Sadly ICE manufacturers are following suit with more and more useless dogshit like touchscreens everywhere, always-on data connections, and subscriptions for shit like seat warmers. I think this apprehension is partially fueling the skyrocketing prices of used vehicles (in addition to the chip shortage, but that should be assuaged in the coming months).
Europe is working hard on getting their energy from other sources. And once they've done that, they're not going back to Russian gas. In the long term, this is absolutely a loss for Russia.
Solid advice, yeah get lucky. No shortcuts.
This is producers income, not wages as is obviously what is being referenced in this thread, and the layman's definition of income

And dollars spent on imports do not increase local GDP
The same dollar changing hands every day for a week contributes $7 to the national GDP.

A dollar changing hands only once contributes $1 to the national GDP.
Good idea. Seems like you could use DNS or .well-known to provide canonical domains that could be checked by devices/email clients.
I really hope that this will happen, but I'm skeptical. The push to cluster around big cities is still accelerating and land scarcity around big metro areas is what is driving out affordability. Utilities connection constitutes a small and almost insignificant cost of total urban residential construction. If a global pandemic couldn't stop this trend, then I don't think we will ever live in an affordable distributed civilization.
Cool! Thank you for clarifying.
The moment I grew enough of a brain to rationalize my way out of a toxic, fear-based religion, that's exactly what I did.

And for a long time, I was aspiritual. I've since rekindled my relationship with my spirituality, but I only believe things on my own terms.

The fear of burning in a pit of fire for all eternity never sparked joy for me.

This gives me a whole new perspective on the multiple “insight porn” articles on HN’s front page right now.
in the UK this is already relatively common for online banking. I asked my bank to raise my daily transfer limit the other day for a property purchase and part of the process was recording a video of myself in their app.
The title is there to get you to click, there's not much need to analyze it. The article has little to do with it.

This reminds me of On Cinema At the Cinema when Gregg Turkington, as a parody of the film critic persona, often bases his critical opinion of the films based on what he thinks of the title and runtime.
That's a quote from greentheonly, FWIW. And it's absolutely true, you can pull up your Tesla app (or one of a plethora of community-authored tools) and see where your car is at all times (it even works for Turo rentals as long as you have an existing app and account). It's actually a really great feature, and one of the things that make Teslas Teslas and not just another car.

The question is whether or not the history is stored, and how. And if your read farther down, it's clear there is what certainly looks like a good faith attempt to anonymize this data before storage. It seems that green then went into some detail about how a malicious insider might be able reverse engineer that scheme given enough access, but all that survived into the article is some impact quotes, so it's hard to tell what the vulnerability is.

But no, Tesla isn't storing our driving history. At least not deliberately, and certainly with no intent to use it or provide it.

(It's worth pointing out the level of double standard here: Tesla's location history storage is actually much more limited in practice than what you get on iOS or Android, yet... no front page articles on HN about those?)
Yeah, I agree. Though I will say that doesn't mean epiphanies aren't valuable long term. A little boost to get you started might translate into a huge change in personal circumstances 10 years after that small boost. Without a couple months with Jordan Peterson relaying not just the possibility but the nobility of looking people in the eyes, entering the forest at the place that looks darkest to you, etc. I would almost certainly not be here typing this.

Such basic truths spruced up with a gleaming coating of old reverent narrative and ancient godlike significance through vigorous sermon is exactly the small boost I required to make the most significant and important change I've ever made in my life. I know he's quite controversial these days but you cannot deny the man has channeled something very powerful (at least as the non-explicitely-political material goes, I choose not to watch his politics)
I think in some cases you're right. But generally I think the real answer is more along the lines of near-realtime generation of results. That way you can iterate quickly to get closer to what you are looking for, and experiment with different approaches to see which is more aligned with how the AI model thinks about things.
Wait until the Texas AG demands all data for Teslas registered to owners in Texas that have parked at abortion clinics in other states.
And not only that, specification is an explicit goal (they have a sepcification person in the core team even at this early stage).

But what is interesting I think is that if miniRust is successful (or even if it isn't) zig can learn lessons on how to do borrow checking on zir: even if it isn't part of the official language release it could be a useful tool for ci/linting/touchup, especially if it becomes an "anointed" tool

This is one of the techniques I use for my depression and it does help me "deal with it".

In my case "deal with it" doesn't mean "make me not depressed": I'm still depressed but it does help me turn some some of my bad, hard-to-do-anything days into ok or even occasionally productive ones. And having something useful come out of a day I thought I would be useless is also helpful in fighting depressive thought loops about being a useless/lazy/bad person generally speaking.
That's only true inside a closed spherical cow.
We had to write Prolog for a week or two in my language concepts class. A lot of the course was about language development and concepts at a more semantic level, and Prolog was an obvious choice to introduce the class to a paradigm none of us 19yos had ever seen.

It was a tricky assignment and project, but damn was it neat. I personally don't have any use for Prolog in my career, nor would I want to work in it daily, but I find it super interesting and such a unique language that everyone should at least read about once.
That sounds like insight porn. How do you build discipline if you’re undisciplined? How do you decide what to be disciplined about?

While true for frozen models, this may not be so true for historic recall of memories and semantic lookups of memories or relevant information to the current conversation. We may be able to understand that awareness, or a type of consciousness emerges from a mix of both rational and irrational thought.

Irrational thought could be that which comes from the frozen model and rational thought could come from a lookup of previous input/output, for example.
1. I 100% agree with him.

2. It's pointless to try to convince people who like WFH that in-office is better (or the other way around), nobody's mind is going to change; people like what they like.
I totally agree with you, but you can see even in this thread where people say things like "If a call to action exists the receiver will get mad at the 9pm email...What I don't know is the senders expectations of when the email should be checked"

>If they want to opt out of data collection completely, they can ask Tesla to disable the vehicle’s connectivity altogether. However, this would mean losing features such as remote services, Internet radio, voice commands, and Web browser functionality, and even safety-related over-the-air updates.

Fairly cheap price to pay if they really allow a full opt-out though
