> In Norway ... 95% of our energy comes from hydropower,

Meanwhile, in the Uk, the current leader is AWOL, and as for the next one, well: https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/truss-suna...

> Winter is going to be absolutely brutal.

in the UK, agreed. English people don't usually take to the streets in protest, they prefer to stay warm at home watching TV, or go to the pub; but what will happen when people can't afford to turn on the heating and TV, and the pub is closed?
Facebook really wants you to scroll past no more than 5 posts. It will chose the "best 5" by some algiorthm, and after that it is mostly garbage. Their best 5 algorithm isn't very good, it finds the most important stuff (a friend had a new baby - these get a lot of likes), but will miss most of the next level down. Then it descends into memes that people share instead of the actual life people live.
I drive a car, ride a motorcycle and ride a bicycle. For the most part I've ridden a bicycle to work for the past 5-6 years (and off and on in the 20 years before that). I live in Norway, so my experience is going to be different from the US or the Netherlands. Her are some observations as a bicycle rider in Trondheim, Norway.

- There is a decent number of bicycle lanes in Trondheim. Some people complain about obstacles you have to deal with, but in general it is easier to navigate the city on a bicycle than in a car or on a motorcycle. Bicyclists have a lot less to complain about than car or motorcycle drivers if we're going to be fair.

- Most drivers tend to treat me with respect when I'm on a bicycle. I can't even remember the last time I got into conflict with a car. I live at the end of an uphill section with sharp turns, which means I'll be testing car drivers' patience every single day. And yet they tend to drive patiently behind me until they can see that it is clear (or I wave them past if I can see far enough around the next corner).

- I try to minimize interaction with pedestrians and cars when picking routes. I've ridden a bike in 3 cities and found that you can almost always find low conflict routes at acceptable cost in terms of time/distance. It puzzles me that a lot of my peers lack the ability or willingness to put some thought and consideration into their riding.

(My default route to work separates me from cars 80% or so of the route, has perhaps 4-5 choke points where I have to cooperate with pedestrians and takes 22-23 minutes. I mostly choose roads parallel to roads with higher traffic. A more direct route saves me perhaps 2-3 minutes, but in my estimation, isn't worth the extra exposure to cars and pedestrians).

- Pedestrians wandering into bike lanes tend to represent a bigger danger than cars. Many pedestrians are much less alert than drivers and less predictable. Especially those with their nose in their smart phones.

- A big challenge in cities seems to be buses. I don't think this is out of ill will, but because they have a job that is orders of magnitude harder than driving a regular car. A bit of respect for their job goes a long way towards reducing conflict. Avoiding areas where buses need to navigate stressful traffic is usually the best approach.

- In Norway most bicycle riders tend to behave OK. But there is a small minority that is aggressively entitled. These people are essentially assholes, but feel they have a right to be assholes because they ride bicycles and everyone else is always at fault. They are big on their rights. Usually male, a bit equipment-obsessed and usually between 35 and 50. I think of these as the "one percenters of bicycles".

At least here in Norway, it is mostly down to attitude and willingness to cooperate regardless of mode of transportation. There are asshole drivers, but I get the impression that they are more of a problem in Oslo than in Trondheim where I live. Attitudes may be far more aggressive in the US and far less in the Netherlands or Denmark.
I would expect to see it used by TV drug gang members too. And IRL.
Oof - you are correct. I think I should have slept a couple more hours last night.
As you can see from this map [1], there is a lot of pipeline capacity between Great Britain and neighbouring countries.

Currently, gas is being shipped to southern Britain where there are LNG terminals and piped to Germany etc -- Britain lacks gas storage, Germany has storage space but lacks LNG terminals.

Britain sources about 40% of gas from British bits of the North Sea and another 40% from Norwegian North Sea. I'm not sure if all the rest is LNG imports. [2]

At some point, there needs to be a separate driving test for these gigantic vehicles. A guy on my block is always parking halfway on the curb and has hit more than a few cars when parking. It really takes a different set of skills than driving a regular sedan or maybe even a crossover SUV. Never seen him haul or tow anything, either.
No it's not irrelevant. If helmet wearing is linked to higher per capita head injuries, mandatory helmet wearing should be discouraged.
> The future will include humans claiming AI art as their own…

That one has already started. Seeing lots of text-to-image generated art on Reddit lately and about 10% of the time the poster claims it’s their handiwork and doesn’t disclose that a generator was used. No one ever falls for it though. This early generation of transformers leave telltale clues. I have to imagine that will change though.

I will say, however, that coming up with the right text prompt is something of an art onto itself. Saw a post and the prompt was “A very beautiful human heart shaped glass organic sculpture made of cracked crimson glass with shiny gold Kintsugi. Fill light, Studio lighting, High resolution” and the result was stunning!

> Did you personally sign a contract with Tesla for a battery swap station or something?

I've found that a surprisingly large number of people are really committed to the idea that battery swapping is the only way that EVs could work. These are personally offended that Tesla abandoned it.

But doing battery swapping well is much more capital intensive than their supercharger strategy was. They could never have afforded it on their own anyway.
It’ll make some naive approaches work differently, but it’s overall more info: both the selection effect of what images humans share, and the surrounding context (eg what comments are people making about the image)
ANother anecdote from The Netherlands: when we go out to drink we go by bike so everyone can drink! Worst case scenario: you bike there and walk back again. You can't take a car with you when you're walking.

The American system is broken. Many (Blue) states would happily rein in oil guzzling pickups, SUVs, etc but Federal law prevents that. Another example is states can't require truck trailers to have side barriers to keep small cars and cyclists from going under.

"Run TypeScript" is misnomer, unless I'm missing something, it compiles TS -> JS and "runs" that.

For what it's worth, I went through a hiring process with this person and it was one of the worst/cruelest interview experiences of my life. I emailed him in response to a thread on Twitter where he indicated he was looking to hire diverse/nontraditional engineers mentioning I was self taught. He replied immediately with a take home project that ostensibly only required 3 hours but took me close to 24 hours. He responded saying it wasn't up to par and then ghosted.

I was way more green back then and looking over the project I sent him now, I understand what wasn't "up to par" about it, but I think it's fucked up to immediately send someone a take home without a quick phone screen unless you know them already, and also to ghost on someone who's put in a ton of work for you without giving any feedback or advice, especially when you claim to be interested in hiring nontraditional candidates.

Anyway, as a result of that experience I no longer do take homes as a rule, and I am continually rubbed the wrong way by how much love Sahil's blog posts on being such a progressive employer get in these parts.
What I didn't see discussed is VCs focussing on open source (quick search returns e.g https://oss.capital/). Does anybody experience with or thoughts on this?

I read a lot of comments on the intrinsic difficulty of earning money with foss, so advising against it or to treat it as a secondary side project. It's pragmatic, sure, but sometimes foss is a central to the value proposition, like in situations that require high amounts of trust or adaptability. A couple of hours a week is not always sufficient to retain momentum. So imho there is really a need for true foss business models.
Gotta mention rust, how else will you get upvotes on HN?
Interesting. A sort of "sell convenience" model. I'm a bit out of this loop, but isn't this how several SaaS/PaaS operators work? Provide open-source software but offer paid-for solutions such as hosting and/or support?
My father used to have his small machine shop down the road from Merrill Brothers in Maspeth NYC who were a big forging outfit he sometimes did work for. They made Halligan bars among other forged tools and I guess they had a bunch of rejects or leftovers as my father took about a dozen of them. I still have six of them in total. They certainly come in handy from time to time.
With most BitTorrent clients you don't have a remote account on the creator's centralized system so there is nothing that can be compromised in this way. If software devlopers require or strongly encourage online integration then yes they should be held to higher standards.
There are jobs that offer 1 to 2 hours (I've heard of 4, but haven't actually seen them) Fridays to work on passion projects. Now, this all hinges on how busy your current project is at work... I work at a company that gives an hour a week to work on passion projects (or "team building exercises" if you prefer), but since our project went off the rails, that ain't happening =)

Though, I'm unsure as to the legal ramifications of such work, TBH.

> The root cause problem here is having to pay rent in the first place.

And having to eat. It's equally appaling.
This is a crazy oversimplification, but let me take a shot. The difference to others is easily a large "novel size" discussion.

Most training SoCs are focused on building something the size of an NVIDIA GPU, but designed for ML versus general purpose GPU HPC compute (FP64) plus ML. Often those accelerators today have a few types of models they are optimized for. NVIDIA is the baseline and so the competitors are looking for areas where they can get a large boost at a lower cost with something about the size of a A100/H100.

Cerebras is perhaps the biggest exception with its WSE-2, a wafer size chip. Having the wafer size chip means that Cerebras does not need to go into higher-latency and higher-power off-package interconnect as frequently because its chip is 50x larger. In turn, Cerebras drives performance and cost savings by not needing NVLink4 NVSwitches / InfiniBand.

Tesla's Dojo Tile is 25 chips roughly equivalent in size to a NVIDIA GPU in a single package with die-to-die communication facilitated by the base tile and then built for scale up units. Tesla also has focused on the interconnect and pipeline feeding the D1s and Tiles.

Ultimately, I think that it takes something beyond a "solution X saves 30% over NVIDIA in these workloads in performance/ $" to survive. NVIDIA has a massive software ecosystem and can handle more types of tasks versus some of the other AI accelerators. That goes beyond just the training and also to other parts of the data prep and movement pipeline. NVIDIA extracts high margins from this work so that is why some effectively are competing with "it costs less and on some problems can be faster" architectures but what Tesla, Cerebras, Google, and a few others have another level of differentiation.

Nothing is perfect, nor was that explanation, but just a high-level view of why the technology featured is impactful.
That sounds like consciously ignoring you and is seriously psychotic behavior!
They haven't done many of the changes for fun but because it makes some things work better i.e. using multicast instead of a broadcast in many places compared to IPv4. Enabling and making autoconfiguration a lot more integral. Making the smallest standard prefix /64 (with P2P being /127) - eliminating basically all thinking about how many hosts can I fit in a subnet.
There are things with MTU and fragmenting that are partially more complicated but in a sense also simpler than IPv4.
Very few of the people who do this are thinking that far ahead, though. Most of them are clearly only thinking about the gap between them and the next car – you can tell from how often they make high risk passes only to immediately brake hard for a turn or off-ramp.

The idea of having it publicly accessible has been public for 3 years. Maybe internally for more than that.

Yet, building a basic colab-like interface, using opensource tools, shouldn't take more than a few people a few months.

Obviously, they might not want to launch that before their hardware is ready, but their hardware has been in production for over a year now.

Clearly something hasn't gone to plan.
It does benefit Facebook though. The current feed doesn't engage me. I want to see what my friends are doing - not the memes they are sharing or the divisive politics they are commenting on, but their life - original content that they are creating. If they would show me this I would stay on longer, and incidentally scroll past a lot more ads. Instead I see a few shared memes (which I've been "blocking all from the originator" for months now which only helps a little) and give up even though I know there are other friends who have actually done something with their life that I want to know about that I miss.

I'm getting ready to drop facebook completely. They need to provide me more value if they want to sell my eyeballs.

> I much rather blame the type system designers

Your comment may (or may not) be a reasonable criticism of designed-from-scratch languages, I don't really know for sure, but either way none of it applies whatsoever to Typescript.

Typescript is by definition an imperfect and over-complicated typed system because they have set themselves the task of levering typings onto a mature (i.e. "has legacy issues") language that was never designed with the intent of being typed.

It's even "worse" than similar cases like PHP, where after many versions the core devs have begun slowly implementing weak types on top of the previously-untyped language, because at least they have the luxury of being the core language devs and having the power to deprecate & change APIs if they choose. ECMA have no intent to type JS, nor to do anything explicitly to make life easier for the Typescript project.

Despite all the above, Typescript is brilliant because the unnecessary complexity is not layered, it's feature-based. Best-practice features of JS are easy to type in TS. If you're struggling with complex TS features, you're either writing a DefinitelyTyped package for a pre-existing project, or otherwise it's probably a strong hint that you're doing something wrong.
A "meta account" isn't any better. I really, really wish Oculus had been able to stay independent.
That's the tough thing. Tesla still has the early mover advantage in the EV space and despite all the dumb stuff, most other EVs can't yet compete in the basic driving experience for the price (assuming no FSD).

I just want a Toyota Corolla or Camry-style car, for a decent price, that is electric. The i3 was kinda close to what I wanted in spirit, but they had to make it look all "tech" and "future-y".

I think there's tremendous loss to working remote-only, specially for young people. I've found me and all my young colleagues would much rather be in an office everyday than having the "freedom" to WFH. When you're young you're meant to live in shitty apartments in big, noisy cities. To be with other people all day, to go out and have dinner, and drinks after-work. Idk, it just feels like I'm wasting my life waking up and opening my computer at home every day. I've tried coworking, and while it helps a bit, it's akin to going to a bar alone to try to meet people.

The second you create your new Meta account instead of a Facebook account, they'll instantly be linking it to your Facebook account behind the scenes anyway -- even if you don't opt in.

So I was one of the 3 hackers who wrote the LSM that predated Rocks at FB, and as a result I distinctly remember when Rocks overtook it in features by trading off performance, and again when it met and exceeded the performance while keeping the greater capability. RocksDB kicks ass and has for a long time, I’d recommend it to anyone in the market for that sort of thing.

FAISS is also great, and has been for years. I don’t doubt that someone has done a meaningful rev on it.

But as someone who likes Rust and wants to like it more: don’t lead with that. The software speaks for itself. Or should.
The implication is that the “connections” on FB are not that deep, or perhaps more accurately, they don’t offer as entertaining an experience.

It is like being at a party with friends, family, and acquaintances but you’re bored and would rather be reading a book, playing a game, watching TV, painting, etc.
