Well, yes, you're replying to me as though I was suggesting some scheme for actually compressing things.

But as I say it's just a theoretical observation, nitpicking the bold claim that statistical compression techniques determine "the absolute most the movie can be compressed before you start to lose information". If the movie consisted of digital noise which turned out to be a representation of the first 10 billion digits of PI (for example) then that claim would be incorrect.
Perhaps because rates were so low for so long, we’re due for the pendulum to swing the other way? Could get ugly if the rates go up to 8 or higher.
What surplus? 48% is less than half, isn't it?

So, another way of looking at it is - Germany is still producing most of its electricity from non-renewable sources. Adding nuclear, it's still ~40% from coal and gas [0]. So again, what surplus?

In contrast, France is producing ~70% of its electricity just from nuclear, with another ~19% from renewables.

Note that either way, the major energy expenditure that ties all of these countries to Russian gas is not electricity, it is heating.

> Perhaps a suggestion to "keep it calm" wouldn't be the best. English isn't my first language and my verbal expression isn't always the greatest. But referring to a code of conduct does also carry the implication that someone isn't minding that code, and I don't see how that would necessarily be better.

Yes, a suggestion to "keep it calm" is definitely bad.

It would be nice if there were an easy way for people who are not good at English to respond to comments without having to figure out the right way to respond. You could create a "standardized response", and have a committee of people with different backgrounds review the content of that response to ensure that it clear and conveys the right messages.

That "standardized response" is the code of conduct.

A code of conduct is a beautiful thing. You do not need to be a skilled English speaker to send someone a link to the code of conduct. The

> [...] but I can equally well see how people might see a reference to a CoC as strong-armed.

It sounds like these people may be prejudiced against the code of conduct, or prejudiced against codes of conduct in general. I think if you have such people in your community, that the right thing to do is to expose them to the code of conduct so they get used to it and realize that the code of conduct is not such a bad thing or a scary thing.

If you try and shield people in the community from the code of conduct out of fear that they might react poorly to it, then I think you're doing a disservice to the community.

Have you personally read the Python code of conduct? Or are you just imagining what is written in the code of conduct?

> Human communication isn't always quite that simple, though. People get impressions from the way things are expressed.

Yes... which is why for important messages, we have teams of people that review the messages over and over again to make sure that those messages are expressed properly and they are easy to understand. Messages like the code of conduct.

You cannot expect the same level of clarity from a two-line comment in a GitHub issue. This is why referring to the code of conduct is such a good idea--it is much clearer and easier to understand, because it has been reviewed so thoroughly.
Is there an easy way (without having to research and install 3rd party software) for non techie users to be able to set their email client to Gmail, AOL, etc? I know a lot of people who prefer to use their email in the browser without using a desktop client. If you click on a mailto: link without your desktop client set up it will launch the setup process, it's not a great user experience.

Are there better alternatives than using "mailto"?

Never seen these issue on an EZ but they are common issues on Ergodox in general and I have had to resolder the mini-usb connectors a number of times on DIY units as they just do not have a lot of structural support. You do have to baby the connector a bit but everything else takes considerable abuse.

I have no doubt this is why they went with a recessed USB type C on the Moonlander which would take significant force to break.

Observables are better, but self reported metrics do still have value. It's an aggregate version of the problem devs encounter when doing usability testing. Users will tell you what their experience is, but it's up to you as a software designer to distill that feedback into actual needs. Which may not at all be what they actually ask for. Survey responses are similar in that they don't tell you exactly what to do, but they do contain actionable information if you have the skill to interpret it.

I think the problem is that while engagement may be the source of profits that is short-term thinking. If joy based engagement drives profits and keeps users on your site long-term it may be worth it to take the short-term revenue boost that anger-based engagement brings you if it slowly drives people away from your site.

Of course it isn't completely clear if anger-based engagement actually drives most people away. In that case it is actually Facebook's fiduciary duty to capitalize on it which seems to be a failing on our society.
Heat the space immediately around you. Don't bother with central heating. Get a small electric blanket that you can have on your lap.

If you are feeling more adventurous I got through a cold winter where the heating broke when I was a student with a mix of warm clothing, blankets, and doing exercises to keep warm. When you start getting cold, do some press-ups/squats etc.

If you are feeling really adventurous I would recommend going outside wearing less clothes than you want to, just trousers and a shirt/jumper. When you get really cold head back in and it will seem positively warm! Another way of doing this is cold showers.
Interesting. HN is pretty good about not allowing duplicate posts, at least within a short window. I wonder if it was allowed since the other two posts didn't generate any conversation.

> Uruguay, despite having a lower GDP per capita , has a higher mean income than Chile at every quintile of the income distribution, except the top. I suspect something similar prevails for Argentina.

Is there a simple measure of this concept? Like if you took two countries, and were to born into a random family in one of them, at your choice, which one would score higher and be the right one to pick to maximise your chances?
At this point maybe nobody knows this for sure.
IF industry is going to have an energy-problem, then everybody else WILL have a financial problem (and many become poor - we heave just now 9% inflation and industry is running fine, what will happen if it isn’t running anymore).
And IF gas for private heating will be scarce, then everybody WILL have a problem with electricity (since many will heat with electric and kill our grid). It’s not for sure but MAYBE we have a problem.
So maybe it’s a good idea to have a plan B to warm some canned food up. Or how we say in Germany: Besser man hat als man hätte.
from Supercomposite's original twitter post, we can see they claim to start off with a negatively weighted prompt of "Brando::-1"

To me, this looks like midjourney prompts. At least we can say, that is valid midjourney syntax for sure, and it is using weights. but probably not to the effect the author portrays.

for example, if I prompt "/imagine autumn landscape::2 birthday cake::3", I get this image[1].

But now if I tweak the prompt to "/imagine autumn landscape::-0.5 birthday cake::3", I get this image [2].

Critically, there is no trace of "opposite of an autumn landscape" in this image. It's all birthday cake... 100%.

Indeed, this lines up with some midjouney documentation[3]. A negative weight will try to remove the thing in the prompt.

BUT: what happens when we only have one prompt, and we use a weight to negate it in midjourney. i.e: "/imagine Brando::-1". At least for me, it get this error:

"Invalid parameter

The sum of all of the prompt weights must be positive"

So I'm inclined to conclude that Supercomposite's post is more an act of creative story telling, than an accurate portrayal of their interactions with Midjourney.

But I am still left wondering if there is a true "opposite of" operator in any AI image generator.

You’re wrong. It’s about $10k to promote a product to people like you.
Now add up the cost of every one who’s trying to call you in the country you’re traveling to having to make an international call every time they call you.

And heaven forbid if they don’t have an iPhone. In some countries they’ll be charged large sums of money to text you as well.

I am not sure how true this is anymore, but it was in the US until at least a few years ago (and may still be on many carriers/plans) in many countries they would be charged for receiving texts from you as well.
People leave home because opportunity lies elsewhere. The US has changed pretty fast; the rust belt went from class ladder to sinking ship in a single generation, for example. Smallholder farms have been squeezed out in the last half century by commercial operations pushing down prices, sending many kids who were born on a farm to the city.

There are communities all over which are lovely for empty nesters but dead ends for young adults.
> React’s performance relative to the field is pretty well-documented, so I don’t feel we need to go into it here. But suffice to say: if your goal is to build the most performant thing you can, React isn’t what you’re considering.

React is amazing in that you can build nearly anything in a mediocre way and it'll probably be fast enough. And when there are performance issues, there's a ton of resources and tools to figure out why and how to make it better.

That's not to say React has great performance. Everything in our field has performance tradeoffs. But on the whole, I think it's really disingenuous to say React's performance is bad. Python is orders of magnitude slower than Rust but for any use case where performance is that critical, you weren't fretting about language choice in the first place. If you actually had a use case where you're rendering a massive spreadsheet or lists with tens of thousands of nodes or some other wildly complicated UI, React can do the job if you really wanted it to, but why are you even fighting that battle in the first place?

Most UIs are boring. Dialog boxes. Forms. Tooltips. If your CTO is trying to optimize one of these UIs for sixty frames per second instead of thirty, they're an absolute fool and shouldn't be evaluating front end frameworks.

Are you using “market power” differently than the common definition in economics? It normally refers to any firm which has the ability to set prices above marginal cost without losing revenue, i.e. any firm in a market that lacks perfect competition, i.e. every firm that actually exists.
> Where is it written that private internets are perfectly normal when a corporation does it, but evil when a country does too?

The impact is different*, scale is different, and countries doing it have track record of using it to hide their misdeeds.

*It's generally ok if you build a wall around your property. Not so much if a country does it.
When a country like Germany is heavily reliant on fossil fuels for electricity this is a policy choice, not an inevitability.

Not all countries are in the same situation. Different choices can and have been made.

I understand and I agree on the somewhat archaic technologies. My point is that a Formula 1 car doesn't look like a car whilst a pro's bicycle looks like a very polished sport bicycle you can buy for 500 Euro or less. Every single component makes a world of difference though.
Everything is getting harder as tech gets more and more complex. (As IT matures.) That's okay. The problem is that the incentives suck and there's too much business in email. The big ones have built their moats, and there's not much to do.

"SMTP" was simply never made to be resistant to this. (Nor the web in general.)
He isnt. The illegality or lack thereof is determined by your level of market power.
I sincerely wish you well on this. I guess I'll sign up as a "ringer" for my repos. I'd suggest some way to do a bulk add (may already be there, as I haven't had a chance to explore). I have over 40 public repos, and I know of people with hundreds.

We'll have to see if this gets abused. I wonder if folks will sign up as "ringers" for repos that they want to sabotage? That could be awkward. I do know that kind of spitefulness exists (I've had people do some really petty swipes at me).

Also, we may not be as useful for some repos, as for others. For example, I was the original author of a project that I turned over to a new team, a few years ago. I could answer some basic "why?" questions, but would be useless for current stuff.

Would there be some way to "score" for that? Also, maybe some folks would only be useful for subsystems of an aggregate project, that might be in a monorepo.
Thanks for excluding yourself.
20c is incredibly warm. As a broke college kid living on the east coast we kept the furnace at 55F (13C) all winter. Wear a jacket. Double socks. Drink warm beverages. Get up and do some push-ups. If you’re reasonably young and healthy, you’ll survive.
This is quite good advice. The trick that that the portable AC units most people have in EU require an open window for the vent tube and create a positive or negative pressure which can push all your savings right out the window. If you have a split wall unit with a heat exchanger outside then you are in good shape.
> it would be highly coincidental that they all randomly reached this conclusion within a few days of each other

Oh, no doubt that a massive online campaign surfaced the question of whether KF needed to be evaluated.

The fact that they've all come to the same conclusion is because of KF's content, not because individual service providers are not independent. The common thread is the site under evaluation, and the site is that bad.
I'm not super-great with Zig, but my understanding is that `count` should be the return value, post-increment.

When the return value is unspecified, Zig will default to an implicit return of the last-calculated rvalue. The same behavior is also found in Ruby, Lisp, and some other languages as well.
Sometimes the less strict separation is a feature, not a bug.

Without folder sharing with dockers for example, it would be pretty useless.
France has been into nuclear for a long time but hasn't actually built a single new reactor in over 2 decades. The newest reactor running at the moment they have went online in 2002.

(Yes I know they have the fancy new EPR reactor under construction in Flamanville but that is not ready yet)

If France had kept the rate up of getting a new reactor up and running every 1 to 3 years like they did during the peak I don't think they would have this issue now. Also both France and Germany are at this moment heavily being propped up by Swedish nuclear power (and hydro).
In the process of installing roof solar (which I would've done this or next year even if the energy prices didn't spike).

Also, expect to allocate larger budget for gas & electricity bill. I do expect the govt. to cushion the blow for consumers tho, so I'd be surprised if my bill ended up 600% up, but it won't break the bank.

> I understand competition is good in situations

But also, consolidation at a given layer of an ecosystem allows that layer to be treated as a foundation so the next layer on top of it can be where the competition happens instead
What other company in 2007 was in the position to do the whole widget that Apple was? We know that Google was just interested in using Android to create a Blackberry clone and Microsoft wanted “Windows everywhere”.

Palm was mismanaged its entire life and kept spinning off and re-acquiring the same assets.
I'm not that worried. My flat is heated by a gas heater, that is supplied by a tank somewhere outside. That thing only has to be filled up occasionally (idk how often, maybe once a year or so?), so i'm usually just paying for the price the landlady paid for it. Also, my flat is properly insulated and loses very little heat.

Power might be a bit of a problem. I don't think it's going to go out, of course, because my little corner of Germany is connected to a bunch of hydro and solar power plants and there is the nuclear power plant "Isar" only a 100 km from here, which probably will be running if things go bad. But it's the price i'm worried about. There is some legislation coming up, that may help with that, though.
True, but I don’t think GOOG pushes interoperability for the sake of consumers. Maybe it’s just easier to collect data that way, and Apple wants that data for itself.
You know what's funny? DotA involves a lot of frog-eating. A lot of it is a slog, and a lot of it is really frustrating. You hadn't decreased your frog consumption. You were just eating the wrong frogs.

It seems that now you're eating different frogs, and you're feeling happier and more fulfilled. You might even be eating less of them now, and that might be part of what's rewarding.

Google's clearly signalled that they don't want Adblockers to use "read/write data on all websites"

Where have they "clearly signaled this"? Gorhil even disproves this in his own comment: he links to an ad blocker in the Chrome webstore that uses MV3 and has been approved, even though it uses the "Read/write data on all websites" permission.
There's definitely going to be a Streisand effect from all this. I hadn't heard about KF until a couple months ago too when an Asahi developer I follow was complaining about them on twitter. Now just about the entire tech community knows of them.

I have zero interest in participating with their content, but sent KF a crypto donation to help support forums with less censorship. I'm sure they'll be getting a nice bump in funding from all this.

The surplus will be available soon. If you look at the trajectories of the installed capacity, it's obvious.

Germany is in the process to switch over to electricity for heating, too. There are a lot of incentitives to install new heatpumps for example.

I started with a first-generation iPhone to replace a series of Palm Treos, and have had various iPhones since then. I've tried a few Android devices, and felt like the interface was more confusing.
