It's a lot easier to build passively safe fission power plants than any sort of fusion power plant.

I read the title and just thought of /r/WallStreetBets

Those people lose money because they either have no idea how options work or are just really really bad at it. Or they see a stock jump 500%+ in a week and then buy high.

Some of them simply treat options like a slot machine.
Ah, we've got a misunderstanding; you're right at the average. You've got a cell phone plan, with multiple lines, that's $100/month. Not $100/line, $100/plan.

Looks like it's up since my number, too.

This relates with me deeply. I once was almost literally told to "work harder, not smarter." Fortunately for my sanity, I was able to leave that place soon thereafter.

It's not that the work was hard, it was just kinda stupid.
Season 1 is a bit rough but there is some pay off in terms of foreshadowing/continuity in later seasons that make it better in retrospect.

Unfortunately for the 5 year arc, they weren't sure they'd get a Season 5 so much of plot ends in Season 4 and Season 5 suffers for it.
Indeed, tons of other issues prevent deterministic builds though:

Yeah but if they’re not guaranteeing security updates then you still can’t rely on it. Which sucks.

I don’t really get it either. You want to charge a premium for your handsets, why not let there be a secondary market all the way down the value chain for prices below where you want to go? It just means you’re selling more iCloud services and locking people in that way so that when they finally do need that upgrade it’s an iPhone rather than an Android.
Yeah, after I wrote that comment I went looking for actual info on eSIM differences on iPhone 14, but there isn’t really any. Support articles aren’t up yet and the asterisk/note is just a basic eSIM disclaimer.

I think that bit along with SIM slot removal is just a push towards eSIM.
> to gazprom basically being used as an economic weapon of Russia

So after we funded Ukraine's war, sanctioned Russia into oblivion, froze hundreds of billions $ of their money, forced our companies to leave their market, and even seized their belongings it's them weaponizing assets?

I'm all for the sanctions and support, but making Russia the bad guy for our economic crisis because they are retaliating sanctions is really biased. It's not a weapon, it's a trade and they leave money on the table everyday. Lots of money.
> The same as always?

This. Yes, there's about 8% inflation in Germany but for people with higher incomes, it's not that bad (yet). My ETFs/stock portfolio has even gone up after a ditch when the war started, no real need to worry.
The types themselves are also nonsense. There's sixteen of them, and all sixteen have significant tendencies in all four axes. It seems extremely unlikely that someone would always have a tendency in every axis all the time, so the types themselves are set up wrong. They're not even acknowledging the possibility of an inconclusive result.

It's also easy to see the financial incentive of removing the possibility for someone to get an "unremarkable" result. Telling people that they're mostly average, even if for a lot of people it's the truth, doesn't convince them they're getting their money's worth.
Can still generate a hell of a lot of electricity from Solar in winter, and offshore wind, and of course gas isn't going away soon.
Starlink is not going to be faster than this necessarily. Starlink is also low bandwidth, but has to be compatible with all phones. So they are not able to design hardware in the phone with a better antenna for this purpose as Apple can do.

It's funny how defensive hn and other parts of the internet are about being put in made-up 'no-evidence' /psuedoscience boxes....

The same crowd that loves quantified self and concrete "evidence" would hate to be seen as they are by actual tally of what they do and how their time is spent, or especially to have their most common interpersonal reactions categorized into a dozen buckets, of gut-reactions, core values, status stuff, etc.

MBTI is as useful as you make it, as are harry potter groups, memes, vibes, DSM-mental illness groups, shakespeare's tragedies, etc.

They work great if you put them to work, shrug. It's just a word-substrate to better deal with the intuitions you already have going on about people subconsciously.

meh, I guess I'd just much rather know exactly what stereotypes / impressions I invoke in others with my looks/identity markers (age sex race etc), behaviors, class mannerisms, aesthetics, posture etc.... and then take it from there if I don't like what I see in the mirror.

At grid scale, batteries were about the same cost as a functionally equivalent fission reactor last time I looked (a few years ago). Despite which, batteries are one of the more expensive ways to store energy at scale.
I don't understand your claim, with fly.io it seems like you attach some storage to your application and store the SQLite file there, semi-locally, much the same as any other use of SQLite. The SQLite database code is still inside your chosen application, it's just loading the file from some "persistent volume" abstraction.
It's not only the energy crisis, it's the whole economic downturn that's hitting every sector that we should be worrying about. Energy is just a mean to an end, and it affects most European industries, making everything more expensive.
We should all be prepared for a rough 12-18 months, as we've only seen the tip of the iceberg so far.
How do you get files > 4 GiB on a floppy disk?
This was why I originally loved my airpods pro. Then it started going random and they no longer would connect to the device I expect. Much of the problem is that for some reason even if the laptop lid is closed apple's laptop still connect to your headphones. Right now my bose work better than the apple stuff, they connect to my laptop and headphones and music plays out of which ever one is going at the time.
it might be the "most secure", but if you could see the amount of lint that's built up inside computer cases in my home, you couldn't call it the safest

Diversified stocks and bonds, same as always. When it goes up, you get return on what you have already invested so far. When it goes down, you are buying at a discount. I am not trying to time the market, but create some capital for my retirement in 30 years, so whatever happens in the next 5/10 years is mostly less irrelevant. There have always been crisis, and there will be others.
Thank you. Testament to the strength of Peloton's brand that most of us related to the exercise bike right away.

Unfortunately brand does not sustain a company in the absence of a product+price market fit
cibuildwheel (which is an official, supported tool) has made this enormously easier. I test and generate wheels with a compiled (Rust! Because of course) extension using a Cython bridge for all supported Python versions for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, macOS x86_64 and arm64, and whatever manylinux is calling itself this week. No user compilation required. It took about half a day to set up, and is extremely well documented.
Those two predictions don't seem to fit together.
I work for a EU company from South America. I have vast experience working for USA and I can tell you that I have old colleagues from USA (living in USA) being laid off. There are also lay offs in EU, and the economy in the country I live is a bit under pressure. This is global.

Still, there is a lot of jobs, most of the people being laid off already have a job. I think we all are going to recover from this but RU.
I wonder how much software will fail on platforms where CHAR_BIT is not 8.
> you get used to it after some time - much better than for example rust, where you have to figure out all the lifetimes, muts and generic traits before.

They aren't comparable. Everything you mentioned in Rust is necessary for typechecking. Unused variable lints aren't necessary for anything.

A galvanometer in a physician’s hand is even more dangerous than that of the village idiot. Just ask my late grandmother who was preyed on until the board de-certified that “doctor.”
"Critical mass" only makes sense in systems where you need a minimum concentration to achieve a self-sustaining feedback loop, but traffic is not such a system. You just need two cars to get the benefits of hypermiling via tailgating. But the amount of cooperation needed between the two cars is such that we'll probably never see it outside of long-haul trucks, and even then only within fleets operated by the same company.
Nov-Feb friend, get more wood.
There is, however, plenty of evidence that professional investors outperform individuals, reliably. And professionals make most of their money from non-linear derivatives (or make their own).

People say that hedge funds are worse than passive investing, and that's often true, but it's true because that's after fees - professional investors routinely beat the market by 3% YoY long term averages, it's just that they are basically paid as much as they make you.
> Why not nuclear?

- Current reactors are EOL

- No new reactors have been built since ages, although political constellations might even have been in favor to do so

- No solution for permanent storage of nuclear waste

Nuclear power is no solution at all.
A 3-bit DIP switch would do the job.

Thanks for accuracy and completeness in your comment! Beyond the year typo, I wanted to add that the DOM "Level 0" was my work in Netscape 2 at first, and JS-inflected. IE3 added VBScript and by IE4 this made Microsoft's DOM0 aka "DHTML" have a mix of styles: as a superset it reverse engineered what I'd done, while adding VBScript-inflected forms such as document.all(id) -- note round brackets (square could be used too).

The W3C's DOM levels 1-3 used IDL and had more of a Java (or just verbose) style. The HTML5 effort at whatwg.org reunified, consolidated, resolved conflicts, and extended with things like the fetch API.

Thanks again, rare to see someone doing homework instead of repeating hearsay or assumptions on HN!
really like the idea, congrats!
> "Sufficient" is a product perspective I don't really have. Anonymity isn't even a product most users want to buy and the users that do, you may not want as customers.

FWIW, Chitchatter is intended to be a community-driven project that takes no funding and makes no money. I'd like for it to exist as a sort of public good. So, there are no "customers" for this project. I've updated the README to clarify that. :)

> My concerns are really only around "how to you meet in the middle". If you are running your own relay, what benefits does your software now have over a more general self-hosted chat?

That makes sense. Having pairing and relay servers directly associated with Chitchatter is counterproductive because it effectively centralizes the overall solution. However, I'm imagining a variety of public pairing and relay servers that users could individually choose. It's not a great UX, but it seems like that would provide an effective anonymity solution.

> You can at best promise the client the user is currently using isn't logging. Nothing stops the relay or the other clients. Any relay that can know the password owns all data going over it, and any other relay knows at least who is saying how much and when.

Excellent point. There's only so much Chitchatter can do to solve this. I think the best solution is to inform the user of security concerns like this and encourage safer settings (like using non-default servers once the option to do so is implemented).

> You are basically at the cutting edge of message ephemeralness and security you can get out of a browser app right now.

That's what it seems like. It'll be interesting to see if a purely client-side solution for P2P browser networking develops, but as far as I know that is currently an unsolved problem.
> … an animal is part of the chain, just not the last step.

If I understand correctly, for some reason you find "no lab involvement" for that "last step" implausible.

Why?

"In May, researchers reported that two coronaviruses in dogs recombined in Malaysia. The result was a hybrid that infected eight children."

You're right; I hadn't noticed the "average covid truther would think".
I wish pip had some package deduplication implemented. Even some basic local environments have >100MB of dependencies. ML environments go into the gigabytes range from what I remember.
That's a great point. The LIMIT workaround takes no knowledge of the data distribution, but an optimizer could do much better with some statistics such as estimated percentiles.
Elon Musk called Space Based Solar Power "the stupidest thing ever" in 2012.

Let me tell you of one of my pet pieces: space solar power. OK, the stupidest thing ever. And if anybody should think, should like space solar power, it should be me. I’ve got a rocket company and a solar company. I should be like – I should really be on it, you know. But it’s like super obviously not going to work because if you have solar panels … First of all it has to be better than having solar panels on Earth, right? Solar panel is in orbit you get twice the solar energy, assuming that it’s out of Earth’s shadow, but you have got to do a double conversion. So you are going to covert it from photon to electron to photon back to electron. So you got to make this double conversion. What’s your conversion efficiency? All in you are going to have a real hard time actually even getting to sort of 50 percent. (Side comment on conversion efficiency responding to remark from the audience.) Take any given solar cell, is it better to have it on Earth or better to have it in orbit? What do you get for being in Orbit? You get twice as much sun, best case, but you have got to do a conversion – you’ve got to convert it to photons, the energy to photons or you have incoming photons that go to electrons but you’ve got to do two conversions that you don’t have to do on Earth which is you got to turn it into photons and turn the photons back into electrons – and that double conversion is going to get you back to where you started, basically. So why are you bothering sending them to bloody space? And, by the way, electron to photon converters are not free and nor is sending stuff to space. Obviously, super (likely meaning space solar power) doesn’t work. Case closed.

It's a fact.
Ironic: Linguistic Dispute
Until recently, Firefox was an inferior browser, at least on macOS where it did a bad job of fitting native UI conventions, had a much less secure sandbox than Chrome, and was also behind in performance. Seems like things have improved on all of those fronts, so perhaps it's time to take another look. (That said, I've only ever used Chrome as a secondary browser for certain sites – my current primary one is Orion – so I have less incentive to experiment.)
Micro-ops are a microarchitecture implementation detail. They are also used by many RISC microarchitectures, and are ultimately irrelevant to ISA.

Ever since the RISC paper, every new architecture of any remaining significance today has been RISC. Today, it makes more sense than ever[0].

The only CISC that remains in large-scale use is x86, which I expect to finally be deprecated during this decade.

One could, but this is unlikely to actually be done unless there is an economic incentive, which is basically why everyone put the CO2 into the air in the first place despite knowing the consequences.
Just as long as its voluntary... but how can you ever assure that? That there's no coercion, temporary depression, etc. So, you can't assure that...

The real question is why are governments so keen to legalise euthanasia?

My view is its about population management. It eases the expenses, clears out the dead wood, etc. Governments really do think it is right that they should choose how long their citizens are around for, even if they say otherwise - its about control. I don't even think it's the only strategy they have to manage the population, nor even the most common one.
One interesting consequence of this is that Google's own javascript api client will no longer work with MV3 and there are apparently no plans to ever make it work.

See https://github.com/google/google-api-javascript-client/issue...

Chromium bug marked WONTFIX: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=116445...

Updated readme: https://github.com/google/google-api-javascript-client/blob/...

So effectively this means extensions on MV3 can't easily access Google apis, which is quite unfortunate since Chrome extensions in particular made Google authentication super straightforward (piggybacking off of chrome's built-in google authentication). If someone knows a better way I'd love to hear it.

I believe the reason that the current incarnation of the javascript library won't work is because it modifies the dom to add script tags to fetch and run the api library (or components of it), which is specifically what MV3 will disallow AFAIK.
Each addition is linear in d, but there are d additions, so it's already quadratic before you even consider the multiplications.

In a power-of-2 base, the result of the multiplication is a constant number of digits (because the multiplication is just a shift of a single digit), so the additions could each be constant time in that case.
> rust is not well-suited for interfacing with FFI

That's a surprising comment, given the massive deployments of hybrid Rust/C++ apps at huge scale that exist!

Does Zig have any equivalent to cxx for interfacing with C++ code?
The only thing that ever gets mass migration is substantial superiority in features they use.

Originally, it was tabbed browsing, which Opera and Mozilla had ~5 years before IE. Yes, Microsoft sucked that much in those days.

With Chrome, it was an embedded PDF viewer and V8 performance.

So essentially, mostly people don't switch browsers unless there's a very good reason to do so.
Yes, probably just shrinking themselves to a more healthy state. Good "chance" to do so right now.

I think the amount you'd have to charge to not have a massive decrease in revenue would make Apple look like monsters. Human brains really aren't good at valuing rare events.

Here's a possible scenario. I'm sure it's wildly off from reality, but maybe reality has the same properties. Each month, 1 in 10,000 users call in [1]. For the same revenue you can charge:

$1 per user per month

$10,000 per use

One of those, people will hate you for. Charging $100 per use would slash your revenue by 99%. May as well make it free. I actually think that would be the way to go and maybe they'll do it some day.

[1] If that seems wildly low, remember it's per month and getting lost in the wilderness is pretty rare for the average person.
Yeah I saw the shopping strip at the northern boundary, which is why I said Ridglea hills and suburbs to the south of it (not a single supermarket shows up in a 5x5 km area, though part of the problem is Maps, it seems quite inconsistent at what scales anything shows up). It may well not be as barren as it appears on Google maps, but it certainly doesn't appear "rather" accessible to me. I'm curious how it compares to the blocks of land in Florida mentioned a few posts up.
Speaking of solar it would be nice if we could just plate the inside of a reactor with photoelectrics instead of blowing all the budget on a clusterfuck of a steam system. Too bad silicon doesn't like 100M degrees...

They all already have power meters! It seems like you should know that 2 riders of similar weight and profile are doing vastly different amounts of work, and extrapolate from there.

Of course, you won't be doing 5-10% the output because there's still mechanical losses and rolling losses, but they should have decent models of those as well.
Apple creates the problem by leaving bluetooth on in the first place. When I close the lid on my laptop, no power, no external monitor, I would expect it to be sleeping. This is also a security issue. Thieves can detect that you left your laptop in the trunk of your car.

Just so that no one is confused, this is the old, not-completely-finished manual that is being replaced by the new one that RMS announced recently.
