Your alternate headline implies global warming is on a trend towards cooler days, which we definitely do not want to imply as it’s not true.
I spin up a number and verify it can receive SMS (which it forwards to me via email). Since I need receive-only, this is fine. No need to futz with APIs or apps.
> or allow Signal to keep a serverside database of contacts ready at all times for users who log in. This is what other messaging services do, and the result is that the servers have a plaintext log of who talks to who on their service, which is the most valuable information a secure messaging service can make available

Why couldn't they just keep using the current system, alongside usernames, for phone number contact discovery? Of course for those who opt into it; imo that's what it should be.

Well, he successfully "created value" in commercial real estate and had a massive exit. They are confident of a repeat feat in residential real estate.
To echo other posters, in most cases the predictions underestimated the impact - sometimes significantly so.

This makes sense when you think about it. Most climate reports that are requested are for disinformation campaigns, so the entity paying for them REALLY* wants it to say there’s no problem or the problem has been exaggerated, putting financial pressure on the researcher publishing the report to fudge the numbers or massage the implications.

(* Impartial climate reports aren’t needed in the private sector as the science is settled and the reality is not in dispute).
The Linux kernel maintains userspace API/ABI compatibility forever but inside the kernel (e.g. modules) there is no stable API/ABI.
I completely agree. But I also think that these problems never emerge in a big-bang way. By year two, or engineering hire #30, or some other heuristic, you should probably be replacing some of that stuff, refactoring other stuff, and certainly thinking about refactoring teams or hiring to fill specific functions that didn't need to exist at the start.

There were so many red flags at that company, and inability to scale was just one, for sure. But these things sometimes come as a complete package.

I think my problem with the article is that it thinks it's selling some generically applicable advice. But the wrong type of company with inexperienced engineers can take the wrong message from that article and totally fuck up an otherwise promising product.
I received my Librem 5. I wrote a short review[0] when I first got it.

Since then it has developed a fault whereby the phone crashes immediately as soon as I switch the wifi kill-switch on. Just instant black screen, nothing happening. Sometimes I have to take the battery out to get it to boot back up. I just don't use wifi. Apart from that it still works great.

I really wish there was a "lite" solar installation offered. Something like 6-8 panels (~200w each?), installed on roof and wired into the grid for 5k or less. For a small home that could really put a big dent in the electric bill and help reduce strain on the grid at the same time. Because most people hear about the massive upfront costs and feel solar is just not that practical. Is this just not realistic or maybe not worth their time (installers)?

it works well, on paper and for metals. PV panels are glass sandwiches so moisture ingress and damage is inherently slow, something accelerated ageing can't capture well.

From first hand experience, the warranties on PV panels aren't all they are made out to be. For one, manufacturing runs of many panel models last months. after, while the warranty will be honoured, you won't be receiving identical panels either electrically or cosmetically. Worse still is when the equivalent offered has different dimensions.

The warranty itself is good but doesn't account for practical considerations especially when you are working with a component that's part of a larger whole.

I've encountered many companies that let you unsubscribe, then add you to a 'new' mailing list a few months later. You can usually identify these companies because when you click to unsubscribe they take you to a page with a dozen or more 'newsletters' that you have to uncheck to remove yourself from if you can't find the 'all' link.

> including about $1000 for my electrician to pull some copper, ground everything, and connect to my panel.

Yeah this is the only thing you cannot DIY out of the whole process, knowing where your rafters are is like 50% of the problem especially if it's an older home where warpage is known to happen; the rest is pretty straight forward with snap/rack installs and learning how to bend conduit and making misc brackets.

If anyone is in interested in learning how to do this before giving it a go on their own home, you can join a few installs to get the process down by signing up for Grid Alternatives [0], they allow you to help with an install process up until the tie-in. Hell, you can probably even make friends and get one of the local electricians to come by and do it for a nominal fee if you get on a few good crews.

The paperwork and approval is the real issue these days, especially in CA, because the install process has been pretty much been simplified as much as it can be at this poin.

Well done in the install, it looks pretty clean and especially well done for taking the time to map out your rafters on a roof that looks to have had work done on one side (non shingled). Most installers would probably just eyeball it and hit-miss and then use flashing(s) to hide the messiness which always ends up with some leaks down the line.

11k total install (solo job?) is pretty good especially with how energy prices have soared since your install.

Users having to add their contacts each time they set Signal up on a new phone, should the app keep its own client-side contact book, doesn't sound like hassle.

Could you please explain how Signal does not have a social network map, when 1) user accounts are equal to mobile phone numbers, and 2) Signal servers route messages between user accounts.
Finally someone with a realistic view on the waste problem.

To me it just seems we're exchanging the results of not tackling one long-term problem (climate change) with another even longer term problem. Externalizing to the future. We don't seem to have any other ideas.
So aside from just a bog-standard complaint about big oil we can find anywhere (but that I’m sure felt very cathartic to type), do you have any sources that link high solar energy costs to the petroleum industry?

> 1. There are a number of sites that have the geological stability and impermeability for long term storage.

And yet, not one of them has been developed into a storage facility so far. Also, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32471115 – having prospective storage sites that look nice and stable is great and all, just not the current reality, and likely also not a near-future reality.

You forgot the part where joining signal "conveniently" discloses that to everyone - with no way to opt out(!).

Also, everyone not sharing their contacts with the signal app already have that UX. Minus the privacy benefits of course.

I noticed that if you plot just the counts of submissions each hour, it shows a very clear cyclic pattern, but _slightly_offset_ in time from the scores data

I'd forgotten about the 80376 but it hits at a question I've occasionally had over the last few years. Why have we not seen a "modernized" x86 CPU that strips out everything pre-AMD64? The answer seems likely to be one or both of:

1. There are more users of legacy modes than is obvious to us on HN.

2. The gains in terms of gate lost, critical paths reduced, lower power consumption just don't amount to much.

My guess is that #2 is the dominant factor. If there were actually significant gains to be had on a "clean"(er) x86 design, we'd see it in the market regardless of #1.
Analog CPUs.
If you read the IPCCs first assessment report[1] (from 1990/92) and look at the business-as-usual scenario, it was pretty much spot on.

Since the IPCCs assessment is pretty much the (conservative) consensus of the climate research community, I'm going to equate this with "almost all of them came true".

That's the depressing thing. We knew what was coming. We know what is coming next. We just choose to ignore it, because something decades down the line really doesn't matter this election cycle/fiscal quarter.

They're probably not defined as basics based on how frequently people use them compared to apps, but, phone and SMS are still the lowest common denominator.

I've been dealing with the police recently after a minor burglary. That involved both making and receiving phone calls.

My dentist has an automated system that texts to confirm appointments.

Despite its downsides, SMS-based 2FA is ubiquitous and you don't always have ability to opt into something more secure.

I'd expect most people elect to use apps for communication when they've got an option, but there are tons of scenarios in modern life where you really don't have the option.

The sane alternative is that it could keep a client-side contact book that users would be responsible for managing entirely on their own, including when setting the app up on a new phone.

Addendum: also, there is nothing preventing this type of contact book data from being backed-up/synced to a new phone, like any other data and settings of any other app. iOS has this feature since like 7 years now. Android, too, I'm sure.
For sure, there certainly could be improvements architecturally, and I agree the Adam Neumann probably isn't the person to solve it.

I do love Brooklyn's planning for the most part, with mixed use commercial avenues and largely residential streets, but I'd also like more outdoor space to socialize in. Half my family is Algerian and I love the style of the Casbah, with interior courtyards surrounded by apartments or multi-use spaces. There's some good footage of this typical Casbah style building in a music video by the Blaze, for those that haven't seen it [1]. I've seen a similar style in Oaxaca as well.

Uh, the kernel ABI is extremely stable. You could take a binary that's statically compiled in the 90s and run it on the latest release of the kernel. "Don't break userspace" is Linus's whole schtick, and he's taking about in terms of ABI when he says that.

This is about the ABIs of userspace "system-level" libraries, glibc in particular.
You'll need to train your own model, though I'm sure if someone manages to crowdsource it there's a very obvious economic incentive.
Slightly easier* than running a domain, i've had luck with myemail+CompanyX@gmail.com when signing up to CompanyX. Gmail handles the '+' transparently (in the same way as it ignores '.') and delivers the email to myemail@gmail.com.

OP's rules of thumb are pretty broadly applicable in a great many rural, small-town regions of the USA. If you're politically progressive, you can still pass as a local and blend in if you adopt a few mannerisms and if you're willing to ignore/dodge a lot of questionable conversation material. The only thing you can't really fake is your skin color.
Why would contacts need to be saved though? If I change my phone, I expect my contacts will be copied in some manner, and they'll be available on the new phone. Why would a messaging app need a persistent social network of contacts?
I see much of this on the subreddit as well. Though maybe I can be a point of anecdata to the opposite side. I ordered(Librem 5 USA) in December 21, got my phone in July 22. Had some small issues, emailed customer support, got helpful responses. The phone calls and texts fine. There are good apps, a good community, etc. I think there is a loud minority of people that didn't quite understand what they were buying into. A small company and a first product.. you're really speculating by being early. This is not going to be remotely close to the same experience as buying a device with +20y of development from a top 5 most traded public companies in the U.S.. I bought the phone with the understanding, maybe I get the phone in 2022, maybe I don't. Maybe I get the phone and it can't make calls/texts because of a software issue and I'll have to wait for a fix or aid in development.. I would recommend the phone to others who share similar expectations. Though I would recommend the USA version as they seem to be available. It seems those still waiting for phones might be stuck waiting for the chinese model.(chip shortage related? Idk)

Surely you could sell custom prompt runs for porn for a great deal more than OpenAI is charging for generalist custom prompts.

If you read directly from the site. The requirements for the graphic card are 10 VRAM as a minimum. Because it's ruins locally you don't need to download anything apart from the initial model, this applies to the disk space too.
The whole model is dynamic, so you can go into settings and drop the amount of miles you drive per year down, which should bias towards ICE.
Even Windows Home SKUs have been trying to gently move casual home users (which today are most likely to be using laptops) to FDE in 2022. It's one of the reasons for the Microsoft Account requirement that is much maligned to a sector of HN commenters. A trade off to using Microsoft Accounts for login is that Microsoft knows you have a recovery path for FDE keys and can enable FDE on your behalf, which in isolation is a good idea for casual home users. (Whatever you think about the other implications of needing a Microsoft Account for a personal casual use device.)
I guess ROT13 could also be a last resort if signing up is important enough.

> If people need more money, they can use their paid vacation time to work a second job. They'd be working the same 40-hours a week, but would receive double pay, thus increasing their income.

I’m sorry to jump out at your comment with this but where do you think companies take the money to pay salaries from? Because they don’t print it.

This trend of “we want money and don’t want to work” was magnified during covid and now it spirals out to a completely grotesque level.

If people think it’s so easy to find paying customers to pay for “no work”, why don’t they all just go solo?

No, instead everyone wants to have safety of not having to think where to get paying work from but also get paid for not having to do much.

From their quote it does represent a big limitation unfortunately. No loops limits the ability to do relatively simple string manipulations and iterate over other object collections where the size isn't statically known. The best you can do is basically manually unroll loops up to a fixed size. For windows dtrace for example it prevents you from writing your own wide to narrow strong routine, as well as doing sub string matches. Also, enumerating bit enums and converting flags to strings. There's many more cases too of course. I can understand the design limitation to some extent. But using the same kernel tracing APIs then extending it with a more powerful, arguably potentially less secure language, was a primary motivator for why I did this research at all. Ebpf for example allows loops. I disagree with you that a reimplementation must follow the complete architecture of the system being reimplemented, that's quite a strict interpretation in my opinion. You're of course entitled to that, I hope it's interesting/useful regardless of terminology :)
> why not allow the ISA to query[1] if an L1 access is currently viable (enabling dispatch to different static schedules)?

I guess you think of an access that is initiated, with an associated code that runs once the access is completed.

If yes, then how you save and restore a context with several queries in progress?
I wrote this article over the past few weeks, while building a structural chemistry model. I found most sources available either dive into quaternion mathematics and reasoning without building intuition useful in applications, or are documentation for specific computer graphics libraries. I'm using this article as a personal reference; perhaps others will find it useful too.
Look at for example the GA144 and similar tiny deeply embedded cores like http://bernd-paysan.de/b16.html , where the stack is implemented as a register file. Those cores are actually fast, but limited in capability and a nuisance to program.
