The concept sounds good, but you also need people to review the FUSE implementation as well as muxfs. And test, and so on.

One question: do you plan to implement "concatenation" of filesystems, so you can build one very large muxfs system (10s of terabytes) ?
There are trials of overhead lines (similar to trains) for trucks on highways. That would greatly decrease the need for energy storage and high speed charging.
I'll bite: Turkey — true (Armenian genocide). USSR — false (genocide against who? there were famines (btw in US too). all people suffered).

Though I know that the opposite is claimed by propaganda (at least, Obama failed to recognize Armenian genocide, and anything bad is easily believed without questions about USSR).
I agree that the supply will increase long term, but power generation capacity tends to have a fair construction lead time and I would not be surprised if it lags demand as EVs scale out.

I think it’s telling that the primary ethical concerns around AI development (at least at OpenAI, if not others) are that AI tools not be used to enable propagandists, or to generate violent or sexual imagery.

I see comparatively few ethical concerns about the economic fallout professional artists and illustrators will experience as a result.

To encourage electric trucking, the feds allow electric trucks with payload to be 82 tons rather than the 80 tons normally allowed. Tesla claims their truck is only 1 ton heavier than a diesel truck with full tanks, so electric trucks have a slight payload advantage.
For the calculations:

A semi (33T, 25T of load) is consuming 35l/100km.

In the given calculations, it is consuming 47l/100km (35% more than the reality).

The efficiency of the truck is given as 2kWh/mile, which means 125kWh/100km.

A Tesla S requires 25,8kWh/100km. Basically, moving 33T takes just 5 times more energy than moving a Tesla S. For the "Diesel" case, this is more 7 times, but maybe the power scaling of electrical propulsion is better (and a better wind efficiency of this truck).

The last point is that the rate of 0.07ct/kWh is maybe too low, you want high power voltage to load your semi, this costs more than normal power.

Well done EVs will be cheaper, but these calculations feel a bit too biased into making the Tesla semi unbeatable.
first of all, don't give up. being ignored or overlooked is part of the FOSS experience. not every developer is available all the time, some only work during holidays or whenever the mood strikes them. some would prefer to ignore rather than reject someone, or (especially on popular projects) they may be so busy that they simply didn't see your submission.

when you fix a problem consider first of all, to do it for yourself. for your experience, or to solve a problem that you actually have.

fixing a problem and then finding out that it is already fixed, or that someone elses later fix was accepted ignoring yours, is also a common experience. there is nothing malicious about it. communication is just not perfect, and for some things, it may just be easier for the known and trusted developers to fix a problem themselves rather than to take the effort to review your contribution, even though taking care of your contribution would give them the opportunity to invite a new contributor. not every project has inviting new contributors on their radar.

my suggestion would be to look at projects that have an explicit policy of being welcoming to new contributors. they will either say on their site or in the documentation, or they have issues that are marked "good for beginners" "or good for a first contribution" or something similar.

work on such issues. join the community, their mailinglists, chat rooms, or whatever they use, and talk to other developers there. get to know the people, help other new contributors, make friends. later when one of your submissions is ignored or overlooked again, those new friends will be able to help you get attention to it. or they may know why it was ignored.
While the repeat attempts have not reached the same level of "fusion yield as the August 2021 experiment, all of them demonstrated capsule gain greater than unity with yields in the 430-700 kJ range, significantly higher than the previous highest yield of 170 kJ from February 2021. "

Does this mean they are producing energy? 10,000 kilo watt hours is not to be sniffed at
You mean besides just install the relevant packages by: "pacman -S git lua52 gzip coreutils gcc musl" on a standard arch install? (presumably similar for other distros)
I am guessing regen is a big factor
Nope, failure of containment simply means they fizzle out. Some massively hot plasma might go to areas immediately next to reactor, but it won't blow up. There isn't just enough temperature or pressure for fusion to continue.
Entanglement, yes, but can you drink it?
Let's someone creates an AI where you describe your program and it writes it using only existing code snippets. It might put 90% or more of software engineers out of work. Saying "but software engineers who create truly innovative systems, design patterns, languages and approaches will continue to thrive" is very limiting.

I fully grasp the concern here. It's not unlike what happened during industrialization, but on an intellectual level. I don't know what the solution is. Basic income has been floated, but I'm having a hard time evaluating all the arguments for and against.
I would say inlcuding CEO is far more pretentious. A PhD at least means something more substantial, because it requires an external certification.
Good point. Still, can matter some years later, when new runners have joined the races and are now using the best of your ideas plus some of their own that you don't know about?
It was the 0% Klarna option (the only Klarna option) on the Google Store if that makes it any clearer. I stay away from this stuff generally so I can't tell the difference between these options when I'm trying to checkout.

My Tesla Y gets 3 mi/kW. They said a normal diesel truck gets 6 mpg, which is about one fifth a normal passenger car on the highway at 30 mpg. So 2 kW per mile doesn’t sound unreasonable.
It'll be just another tool in an artist's toolkit. The jump in quality among artists since tablets (pens to draw on a computer screen) and stock photography became widely available 15-20 years ago, has been astronomical.

Not to mention the 3D graphics of the past 2 decades, oh ma gawd! It's artist paradise compared to what people had 50 years ago.
The Economist Guide To Analysing Companies is a good start. Others would be corporate finance books or intro books to accounting.
I'd agree on such a ban.
But how expensive is it to determine that a small molecule is bio accumulating?
And how much time/money do we need to spend on testing?

It's not the pure economic harm I'm worried about. Such a molecule might well be a key part of a genuine solution to reducing GHG emissions.
What is your plan?
The average weight of a reasonably new semi is around 20k pounds without fuel which leaves 60k for cargo. Every pound the tesla weighs above 20k is a pound less cargo.
Another consideration is the fact that tesla trucks won't be paying for huge amount of road wear they cause. The national average of state/federal tax on a gallon of diesel is around 65 cents. As things stand now an electric semi (just like electric cars) will be getting a free ride.
You need to sketch it and possibly implement it yourself because actual examples don't exist. QED
I think paywalled links are reasonable since one should be able to ask for money for their work/efforts, though it would be helpful to disclose the fact somehow, to save a click for those uninterested in that media format?

For example, we already have suggestions for videos and PDFs in the guidelines:

> If you submit a video or pdf, please warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title.

Of course, I'm not sure what a name for that tag might be, [paid link] or [paywall], though those might have negative connotations. Just a thought.

Edit: dang also linked the FAQ and previous discussion of paywalls above, it seems a solved question.
Please read what I wrote more carefully: I wasn't giving an opinion (other than the word "tedious"). I was pointing out the fact that there are large numbers of experienced software engineers on both sides of this argument, and hence it isn't an argument that can be settled, or even helpfully contributed to, by individuals giving their opinions. It's got to the point where it's more like politics or religion or something.
Setting JAVA_HOME matters, again, because the Java runtime environment is essentially dynamically linked to the Java program you’re running.

The nice thing about fully statically linked executables can just be copied between machines and ran. If Java worked this way, the compiler would produce a (large) binary file with no runtime dependancies, and you could just copy that between computers.

Rust and Go don’t give you a choice - they only have this mode of compilation.

Docker forces all software to work this way by hiding the host OS’s filesystem from the program. It also provides an easy to use distribution system for downloading executables. And it ships with a Linux VM on windows and macos.

But none of that stuff is magic. You could just run a VM on macos or windows directly, statically link your Linux binaries and ship them with scp or curl.

The killer feature of docker is that it makes anything into a statically linked executable. You can just do that with most compilers directly.
Please don't cross into personal attack in HN comments, regarldess of how wrong someone is or you feel they are (or who they are).

Your comment also crosses into internet psychological diagnosis ("PG’s problem is that he thinks [etc.]"), which is particularly sloppy and nasty. There's basically never enough information to justify this, since none of us has a mind reader.

You can make your substantive points without any of that, so please do that instead.

It will be key to understand short term maintenance costs too.
It burns very hot. Also water won't help you.

On other hand amounts used are relatively minor so it isn't massively bad issue.
I'm kind of skeptical of the "This is what it costs to haul with Electric vs Diesel" because the difference is that I can call a guy up tomorrow and he'll have a diesel truck outside my house. A lot of the hand wavey "Once we have mega chargers, solar panels etc." Well yeah sure, and it'll all be free once we hae nuclear fusion. I'm just sceptical because I've worked at companies where out next product will beat our competitors previous generation. It's a stupid game to play. Also, doing this in the Ukraine war, well... might not be the best time to extrapolate. I'm pretty sure that electric is the answer long term whether it's directly economically beneficial right now or not. But this isn't good maths.
Over 5k TOIs Added to System Overview Pages
"We've added more than 5,000 TESS Objects of Interest (TOIs) to new or existing System Overview pages to make it easier to identify systems with candidate planets for follow-up investigation.

Systems with known confirmed planets now display companion TOIs on their respective System Overview pages. New System Overview pages have been created for TOIs that are not part of a known planetary system.

For example, the HD 23472 System Overview shows two confirmed planets with three candidate planets from the TESS project—making it a potential five-planet system."
You have manhandled your units as badly as is possible.

Model S cruises at approximately 300Wh/mi; Tesla is claiming 2kWh/mi (approximately 6.6x the power consumption) for the Semi.

Diesel cars are rated at approximately 35mpg and diesel semi trucks at approximately 5mpg, a similar 7x factor.

So, yes in fact as the driver of an EV with an energy meter, I do 100% believe the 2kWh/mile number.

What I'm actually skeptical of and where I believe Tesla is burying the bad numbers is with the $/cargo ton/mile rating. Carrying an extra 8 tons of battery is going to limit the types of loads where an electric semi mikes sense.
I’ve never seen these applied to a problem other than when one wants to increase the dimension of the matrix by one or vice versa… very eye opening. Will look for applications in my own work now.

Also appreciated the derivation of sorts of the formula, starting with the case where the main matrix is the identity.
I simply don't, it's too distracting.
You are right to be confused about that claim, but it because the units of the claim have been mixed up. The actual claim is 2 kWh/mile. That is a measure of energy per distance, kind of like gallons per mile.

If a truck is using 2 kWh/mile while traveling down highway at 70 miles per hour, its power draw will be 140 kW -- that is the one to compare to your 2 kW idling or 24 kW hard pull.

My EV uses 0.2 to 0.3 kWh/mile, so 2 kWh/mile for a truck seems plausible to me.
It's not a big deal on credit scores at all actually. FICO-8 and the other common credit score algorithms all make the assumption that multiple credit checks in a short period of time just means the person is rate shopping, which is an extremely common thing. When I got a car last year I had ten hard lookups in a single day- this didn't do any more "damage" than a single lookup.

On top of that even hard lookups stop affecting scores pretty quickly. They really exist to prevent someone from taking out a bunch of loans without each other loan company knowing about it.

I do know that things like the Vantage score, used by credit karma and nerd wallet, put a higher weight on these checks. This is, in my opinion, purely to drive engagement to their website. FICO is what is actually used by lenders, and tends to be more stable (in my experience).

Not technically true, there needs to be a reason, but in most cases concealed carry is generally accepted.
There should be a page history with a comment describing why changes were made. The latest revision can describe the current best knowledge “without fluff”, and the revision history can show why and how the content changed over time.

The CDC already has a list of when updates were made to all the pages, but AFAICT it doesn’t say what changed or why.

My impression is that he wants to be like the cool kids on the other side of the Atlantic. Meanwhile the Engineering union and Bankers guild are suing Klarna for the way the layoffs are being done. Maybe they are pissed. Dunno.
strong concur, evaluating the creative processes requires acknowledging influences, and if pop culture referrence go beyond inspiration and become a core influence in style then the art aspect becomes industrializable, and in this case replaceable by AI.

I had a Brother HL5xxxN (can't recall the model exactly) a while back. Worked great for years, then get replaced with a Canon "PIXMA" frustrating piece of rubbish. The lure of color, photocopying and scanning was too great, I guess.

There is a big difference between "this is a tool that makes some things easier" and "this is definitely endangering the skill I spent a lifetime learning".

You will know it when you see it.
Dynamic linking by default has been vocally criticized by everyone from Carmack to Bell Labs/Plan9/golang people. Many if not most of the big scale companies have historically avoided it like the plague. It has horrific costs in performance, security, reproducibility, and ultimately comprehensibility of any system.

People pay out the ass in droves via Docker (huge-ass images, clunky composability, cgroup/namespace complexity) and Nix (horror-movie learning curve) and I'm sure other things to get around it / emulate static linking. `sudo apt-whatever upgrade` and pray is pretty much DOA in even low-complexity settings. People are voting with their feet.

You can disagree, and if you're not affiliated with Debian or GNU I might even believe that you come by that opinion honestly, but this gigantic bloc of people who hate it are not all "oblivious".
I use pdfdriver for the same purpose.
Don't forget about sixty cents worth of each gallon of fuel goes to repairing roads etc
I think you're wrong. Pretty much all human creations can be encoded digitally to a high enough fidelity that the discretization process no longer is distinguishable.

And 3D printers for paintings exist, that can replicate brush strokes and other techniques, and they will only get better over time.

So there's very little left in the human arsenal as the AI generation and AI painting techniques both improve.

You’re comparing KW/h to miles per KW - it doesn’t work that way. At 4-6KW/h on the highway, you’re doing 70+mph, so that’s 6KW/70mi, which is <0.1kw/mile.
I recently became aware of the process of acetylation, whereby softwoods are modified with acetic anhydride to reduce their susceptibility to moisture.[1] This increases dimensional stability and resistance to mold and fungi while leaving the wood non-toxic, as opposed to traditional CCA pressure-treated wood. Similar products are Abodo[2] and Kebony[3].

The treatments make above-ground applications suitable for warranty for 25-50 years with low/no maintenance. Over that lifecycle the manufacturers suggest the (outsized) emissions from shipping the raw radiata pine from NZ to Europe, where these are modified, and then on to their destination are more than offset vs a shorter-lived wood product.

Curious how it would stack up in a wholesale actuarial comparison to a 95%+ recycled composite product like eg Trex.

Again, if you have to lie to make your case, what does that say about your case?

Pumped hydro storage does not, as I already pointed out, require river valleys. It does not, in fact, need those other things. You make clear that you know nothing about, even, pumped storage. (Maybe look up the word "penstock"?) Why would anyone trust you about others?

People often badly overspend on civil projects, but that does not give you honest numbers -- if indeed what you want is honest numbers. You make very clear that you do not want honest numbers.

Pretending that fuel synthesis depends on access to scarce raw materials (hydrogen, nitrogen? Really?) will not fool anyone. Neither will anyone be fooled by your insistence that its energy must be extracted via fuel cells.
AFAIR (I had a grill pan that I had to cover with a bit of oil) it would be 1-2 weeks (based on my memory of doing "grilling")

Maybe wild idea: generate a unique text identifier for the image + an s3 url, log that identifier rather than the image. I guess its logging metadata rather than the actual data.

Tangentially related to part of the text in the article : A lot of these and other apps ask you to share documents, camera, mic, gps, and other access from your phone . The problem is that several of those wont work if you reject that access. Even worse, Mexican government passed a law that made it compulsory to monitor your GPS position for Banks and other money related companies, so doing relatively common bank transactions require you to lose your privacy.

Given these blatant privacy violations, I wish mobiles had the option to "mock" data for those sensors. Share files? Sure, give access to a jail like bkank file system. Share mic? Sure, give access to a white noise generated stream, same with video/camera. Share gps? Give some mock location, etc.

That's what a privacy enabled device would do.

I wonder why hasn't this even been implemented at the browser level.

You bought one bottle of water. You're not benefiting from the store. The store owner isn't benefiting from you using his store instead of his vending machine. Store customers aren't benefiting from you using the store instead of the vending machine.
