What's wrong with the usual check-out process? It also creates extra jobs for people that, most probably, would have difficulties finding new ones (some of the lady cashiers at the super-market close to me are well into their 50s). Plus, it forces you to have a little human interaction, that hasn't killed anyone, quite the contrary. More human interactions, even with strangers, less "what pills should I take to make my life less miserable".

Large UK roundabouts often have traffic lights that are only operational at peak times, to counter the effect you describe.

Small roundabouts don't have this problem.
And in turn, trains are far more energy efficient than all kinds of cars. Trains are subsequently beaten by both electric and non-electric bicycles, which are the most energy efficient mode of transport currently known to man.

While phasing out ICEs entirely is clearly an urgent necessity, it would be wise to invest in a world where we move more towards these superior modes of transportation, instead of going for EVs, which are a slight improvement, but not at all as big of an improvement as we could realize with trains and bicycles.
We handle far more dangerous chemicals in many chemical plants.

Why? LAPACK is probably the most well tested bit of numerical code out there and must be a piece of the most well tested software in general. What is the technical justification except for some NIH?

Oof, that doesn't sound like a popular move! Speaking of simulations though, there is SideFX Houdini? (can probably handle CAD-type stuff a bit nowadays? and certainly lots of types of simulations!)

I do hope that SideFX (Houdini) stays independent. Things I've heard suggest that they intend to, and I also hope that they continue on their current trajectory - I think the general direction is very positive! Not perfect of course (and not opensource of course, but very open in practice) A lot of very solid dev seems to happen at SideFX, and a lot is communicated about what's happening, and their support (email contact for when things go wrong) is absolutely STELLAR too!
The thing about virtual sets is, like real sets, they force you to have commotted to every decision about a shot at the point you shoot the actors. And half the reason Hollywood uses VFX so much is to NOT do that. So don't expect virtual sets to be universally adopted any time soon.
> One thing I suspect- there are a lot of people using the free license to make money (which is not allowed), so I guess they’re turning the screws on.. their paying customers

I don't understand. The free version doesn't have simulation anymore for a while.
That's because people suck at communication - especially programmers. I lead remote teams and it is totally possible. The only essential "meetings" we have are retrospectives in which we discuss how to work/communicate with each other better. Good communication requires a lot of energy, bad communication requires meetings. We only have meetings unless absolutely necessary, not some laughable "pop ins"
The irony is pretty poignant. If I can think of one company that would implement a Severance type program it'd be Apple.
> It's _really_ painful to remember how scarce information was in the early 90s

I think that scarcity of information has helped me quite a lot. I often see others giving up on problems where they lack sufficient information, but I have an ingrained ability to sniff out the information - whether it's reverse engineering, gleaning subtle hints from what is available in the documentation I do have or just "thinking like the computer" to intuit things, I can very often make headway where others have failed.
It's worth noting that this is pretty much a Linux Thing, due to the extreme levels of software churn that platform experiences.

BSDs are a great example of how this idea isn't actually dead - the FreeBSD Handbook is essentially the greatest HOWTO ever written. But it can only exist because there isn't the Linux levels of software churn. It is frankly absurd bordering on obscene how quickly Linux documentation "rots", this is not normal and it's not the way it has to be. Very very few other platforms experience this to within even an order of magnitude of the rot rate that Linux does.

This is even true of, say, Windows. Most Windows 10 guides from 2018? Still pretty much work even 4 years later. Can you honestly say that Ubuntu 18.04 guides (even LTS, not even rolling release) actually would even be worth a moment's consideration?

This degree of doc rot is not normal. A little less focus on "move quickly and break things", a little less re-implementing the wheel for the Nth time, and a little more focus on proper systems design from the outset really really needs to be a focus, because the doc rot has gotten absurd over the last 8-10 years.
No; it implies that WE own it.

I can complain because corporations enjoy purchasing advantages not available to individuals. Massive amounts of capital, for one thing, not to mention tax breaks and economies of scale that make it easy for them to dispense with financing and inspection contingencies.

When an elderly person dies and the children who inherit his property all live out of state, they're going to dump the property and split the proceeds. And they're going to maximize those proceeds and minimize the time to realize them. Corporations can take advantage of that.

So no, WE did not decide to sell. Think it through.

I think they should stop adding new major feature to C++. It is big enough. One can do enough with it. O, you cannot call a lambda recursively? Then just tell people to write a normal named function instead of polluting the language further with unneeded stuff.

The “well regulated” means “proficient, properly equipped, well trained, functioning as expected” or similar. You have to assess that phrase in the context of 18th century English.

It has no relation whatsoever to what “regulation” means nowadays.

But almost everyone can own a machine gun or a rocket launcher, where not forbidden by state law. Just pay a $200 transfer tax and wait 3-12 months for the ATF to process your transfer form.
Many great suggestions in this thread. I would add the following, omitting those that are already mentioned:

Intelligence Squared Podcast

- Great debate-style episodes on amazing topics (such as "Should the west engage with Russia," or "Should the west engage with Saudis") mixed with interviews of book authors. Must listen!

I'm not a Python fan at all but still see much value in clean, DRY syntax.

Significant whitespace is a huge success even in languages that switched to it late! Almost nobody in the F# or Scala¹ community would consider to switch back to that unnecessary line noise which are explicit block markers.

Code should be indented for readability anyway (and almost nobody would dispute that)! So there is just no real value in additional block markers. In fact such block markers make refactorings more difficult than needed.

BTW: Contrary to your opinion stated in your profile "subtracting points" for writing things the majority here disagrees with is not fascist in any way but exactly the mechanism that keeps the quality of the comments here high—which in turn attracts those "smart people hanging out here" (who you're praising) in the first place. ;-)

Recursion is just one of the things being used as a means to explain/show lambdas here, i.e. the energy spent is for the explanation, not for recursion.

I suspect there actually is a freakenomics-style correlation between parents who introduce their kids to classical music and parents who are more generally concerned about the mental development and success of their children, though. And thus kids that grow up in such a household may be better prepared for standardized testing.
I'm sure if you start a fund to pay those operators to care, they'll get right on it. The current case is the people who need much more granular space are different than the people who'd bear the cost of it.

Otherwise, just move to IPv6 or something and fix the problem in a saner way.
What doesn't add up is 10% of the energy is lost just putting a charge in the battery. That means the overall efficiency is already 90% or less, regenerative braking or not. Now factor in losses from friction and heat, and there's no way the claim of 87-91% is valid.

Downvote me all you like, the chart is claiming that EVs are perpetual motion machines.
I recommend Saifedean Ammous' interview with Lex Fridman.

He's got strong opinions and a somewhat dour persona, but as Lebanese-Palestinese he's lived in a very different environment than what we're used to here in the West.

If you keep an open mind and understand where he's coming from, I think he's good some insightful ideas on Bitcoin and its role in economic upheaval.

https://youtu.be/gp4U5aH_T6A

FWIW this episode turned me from a "fuck any form of crypto" stance to an appreciation of BTC the technology. All the other scam coins and Ponzi schemes can't collapse to zero soon enough.
We’re not going to replace cars with trains in the timescales necessary to deal with climate change, even if we could convince everyone to upend their lifestyle. It just isn’t going to happen.
I always wonder if these collapses happen all around the world, why does nobody have the decency to simply accept Bitcoin in their local farm as payment?

Of course there are many reasons, probably the most prominent being that you need to download a 400GB blockchain on your device to actually be secure. No wonder all these Bitcoin people want their technology to have as few transactions as possible, because popularity will ruin it's decentralized nature.

This means you will need a custodial solution like lightning which merely uses game theory to create rewards and incentives for following the rules in a decentralized way but ultimately it is still custodial and knowing and trusting the counterparty is still superior.

This gets to the crux of the problem. Due to the custodial nature of scaling Bitcoin transactions, you will have a centralised organization that can be shut down by the government. The local Bitcoin bank or PayPal equivalent will have the exact same problem as any other bank.

If you argue that this entity can exist outside of the borders of the collapsing country, so do USD banks. Despite its flaws even the USD is a better medium of exchange than Bitcoin.
OH, my bad. You're right. An enormous surveillance apparatus silently orchestrated by a marriage of industry and state that actively spies on its own citizens is fine and will never actually be used against the people. I don't know why I was so worried haha!

1) You flash Klipper firmware to your 3D printer's microcontroller ("MCU" in Klipper docs).
https://www.klipper3d.org/Installation.html#building-and-fla...

2) You run Klipper's server software ("Klippy host") on a Raspberry Pi (or other single-board computer). Klipper provides a JSON RPC API for communicating with your printer, without having to worry about serial baud rates or other low-level details.
https://github.com/Klipper3d/klipper/blob/master/docs/API_Se...

3) You must connect Klipper server (Pi) to the microcontroller running Klipper firmware.

I couldn't find a list of supported boards, but you can see all the usual suspects here (stm32, rp2040, etc).

Klipper also provides the ability to use your Raspberry Pi as a 2nd controller if your 3D printer's microcontroller doesn't have enough pin-outs to support your ha

Amazing to see OctoPrint on HN. In a weird way I owe my career to it and specially Gina.

8 years ago I started working at a 3D printing company as a support engineer, where the UI of the printer was not up to par. In a short period of time during my off hours I developed a different front-end that could sit on top of OctoPrint. The printer was able to be sold again and I got offered a software engineering job. Gina was so helpful on IRC, she often pushed me into Python documentation instead of solving the problem for me. We build the first plugins for OctoPrint at that time. The plug-in is still running on many printers in the wild.

I have huge respect for Gina and OctoPrint, being able to make your opensource project your job.

Ask HN: What's the best way to own video?
I felt like watching Mad Men yesterday and I was frustrated to discover that no streaming service that I am subscribed to has it.

This isn't the first time I have experienced this feeling and I find myself longing for the days of owning DVD's. I don't want to pirate stuff, so what are my options now? I know that some services like Apple TV offer "ownership" which is fine but since they only have their own catalogues, I would need to have my collection scattered all over which I don't really care for. And even though the problem isn't near the same level when it comes to music (at least, not currently), I also really enjoy owning vinyl records and knowing that I have access to them even if the internet goes down etc.

So, I guess that Blue Ray is the best option? Is new stuff released on those? And do they last or should I expect discs to lose data after 8 years or something?
> I've stopped using self-checkout because I always run into troubles.

Kroger's self-checkout is absolutely obnoxious, they've hooked it into some machine-vision stuff to try and stop you from stealing, but it literally stops you about every third item no matter what you do.
You feel well connected through your family. That's all people really need. As you say, your children are your world.

Some people don't have this family structure. Many come from broken homes with no good role models to look up to. They mimic their parent's maladaptive behaviors and end up in bad relationships. The degenerative cycle repeats. Many of these broken homes were the result of economic devastation or cultural disruption. Instead of going to church, for example, many families stayed home and watched T.V., completely degrading their social skills.

Also, some people think about the bigger picture. It's great that your mind can rest within the bounds of your backyard. Less parochial types can be more apocalyptic because they are thinking where we are headed. If we look back, we see the most apocalyptic events ever endured by mankind--the great world wars. If we look forward, we may see the potential of even worse things happening.

What makes matters more difficult is that comments like yours can be interpreted as saying that you are well made, have good values, have a square head on your shoulders, and others have something wrong with them. They aren't "traditional," like you--that's their problem. If only they embraced traditional values, they would be set right--put on the straight and narrow, like you. This is really an oversimplification of what's happening to some people. Material and social conditions affect how people develop.

It's easy to look at a person from a ghetto and say, "If only they had good values, all this would clear itself up. It only they believed in working hard, they would pull themselves up by their bootstraps and seize the day." I wonder why we can't whisper these magic words to people and solve their problems.

Edit: Hyper-online types are clearly looking for a connection they don't have in real life. The internet is almost like a honey pot for these types. Their rejection of traditional values may simply reflect their lack of faith in it because they saw their parent's bad marriage, or it may reflect a rebellion against the old order which seems to have failed them. Liberalism in particular is a home for lost souls looking for forms to express their discontent. It too is a honey pot for these types.
There are two lines of evidence for EBV and MS, but both are uncertain:

1) Given ~1M vets, ~800 diagnosed with MS after having 2-3 blood samples taken. Of those, most without EBV exposure didn't get MS until they were exposed. MS is rare (<1%), and EBV is ubiquitous (>95%?), so getting large numbers of unexposed people who get MS would be hard in any case. It's unclear if they corrected e.g., for expected age of onset (~30) since I expect they started sampling blood in ~20 y.o.'s.

2) Some researchers claim molecular mimicry, where an EBV protein looks very close to a protein on the foot of myelin (near the edge)

But in MS it's not clear if the inflammation causes the myelin loss or some nerve pathology causes the loss (which causes the inflammation). There's a line of evidence that the axons are disrupted well before the myelin loss.

Also, MS is a clinical disease: it's just "multiple" "sclerosis" in the CNS -- without other more specific causes like MOG/NMO. There could be many causes that end up creating multiple demyelinating plaques, so EBV, even if it is a cause, might not be a principle one.

Finally, the problematic form of MS is the (typically later) progressive phase, with increasing disability even without immune flairs. While some immune suppressants can limit the (earlier) flairs, drugs approved for progressive are barely better than nothing.

Also, the incidence of MS seems to be increasing overall. sigh.

I've been trying to avoid sequels, reboots, and other Millennial nostalgia-based movies going to a mainstream theater, and I found it nearly impossible. Accidentally watched Uncharted not realizing it was based on... a video game of all things. It wasn't good. Nothing else was good either the past 2 years.

I'm not partial to old movies, but there are some gems, and they show how much you can do without modern VFX. I don't know what modern live-action movies were even improved by fancy effects besides The Matrix, which was awesome. Even when the scene is about action, it's cooler when it's realistic, like the Blues Brothers chase where they're actually driving 118 MPH and 104 real cars are getting wrecked.
god damn this is so hard hahaha
The famous zoom fart that highlights you.
You are simply saying one of two things:"deflationary thing would be nice to keep your savings in" and "the USD is a strong currency". What kept people from buying gold, bitcoin or commodities or other speculative assets in those countries? The fact that they are still a bad currency, because a currency is ultimately what your state demands taxes in and wants/subsidizes for transactions to be in. A currency without a state is just a ledger with faithful devotees, and as we see with tornado cash and the continued lack of a bitcoin or Crypto economy producing basic things like food, it faith doesn't seem to be enough (which is ironic because we call traditional currencies fiat now to differentiate from Crypto, when we should call them tax-based and fiat respectively)
