For the record, I suspect most Hacker News readers would get a lot more out of the text version. There was a lot of detail trimming to make it work as a video.
Come on, man. Go easy on them. They're in a downturn. They're suffering. They're going to suffer more. Facebook is just ahead of the curve. What's happening there will probably happen to many more jumbo tech corps over the next 12 mnths...
As far as I know it's not terribly difficult to model how much storage you'll need. It has a couple of variables, like how well connected your grid is, or how well you can shape demand, but then it's just looking at past weather data and deciding how low you want the probability for blackouts to be. Here for example is a toy implementation: https://model.energy/

From what I've heard the amount of storage is not very large if you assume sufficiently large grids and the total system cost is expected to be lower than what we currently pay for electricity.
You could stop working right now by killing yourself (or doing it soon). Not many make that choice.
Yeah, I think everyone agrees that the product is interesting, but the marketing is terrible. It’s like the opposite of Magic Leap
the meme is that you can turn off the verbatim stuff and no one ever remembers that they are told about this, or that it is in the documentation, or that poking around the copilot settings you will see the setting in question.

actual users of copilot seem to know this little bit of information; commenters who like to make comments about things they have never used always overlook details like this, and perpetually restate the things they learned about the topic months or years prior, even when those details were incorrect at the time, and are still incorrect today.

Just because you can find a handful of mistakes, or a thousand mistakes, or a hundred thousand mistakes, out of hundreds of billions of moderation decisions is not evidence of evil or malice.

Thousands of warehouses filled with human beings trying to manage all of this manually would introduce far, far more errors and bias.

If you hate YouTube then don't use it. There are plenty of competitors.
You've already lost me at "first couple endings." As much as I get that multiple endings are cool, I'd rather not spend hours more after a game has "ended" to get to the "real ending" that is somehow so good it makes the entire game worth it.

I know the average gamer wants MORE content for the same price, but I don't feel the same way, especially about story based games. TLOU and even Halo: Reach had great stories without being annoying long.
Extortion is the metaphor I use.

Francis Fukuyama uses the term "vetocracy" for our government. So many layers, so many checks and balances. Some of them were even a good idea at the time (eg in response to abusers like Robert Caro).

Every petty tyrant or crank has to be bought off, rolled over, or buried under. That takes time, resources, lawyers, political capital, stamina, tenacity.

I'm not even so sure vetocracy is a wholly bad thing, in principle. Of course people impacted by projects should be considered, heard, and hopefully accommodated. But, as others have already stated, vetocracy has been weaponized to thwart all progress, regardless of how much popular support is behind them.

For instance, we need expand our power grid, roughly 3x bigger. The challenge is our current patchwork of veto points (local, county, state, regional, national). So someone(s) will have to expend huge political capital to overhaul the regulatory and permitting system. Or we simply won't reach our goal for net zero carbon emissions.
That argument should apply to houses as well, but building houses has become more expensive in the last 50 years not less.

Generally construction does not significantly benifit from economies of scale, while fabrication does. Now we could build lots of small scale reactors, but while construction costs might come down (so far completely unproven) running costs most definitely would go up. You don't want to run even a small scale nuclear reactor without qualified staff, security etc..

>There are lots of behavior differences when bash's POSIX mode is set.

AFAIU correct POSIX scripts will behave correctly with Bash POSIX mode. Incorrect POSIX scripts will not behave incorrectly with Bash POSIX mode as one might expect with a more faithful shell implementation.

IMO Bash POSIX mode is not a problem for running scripts, although you should test your scripts using a strictly shell implementation if you will then distribute those scripts to other users/platforms.
If your focus is on optimizing for short term profit at the expense of long term, your company won't last long.

If your company does last long, and grows enormously, you are optimizing for the long term.
Thanks! I heard of that.

Of course, in practice approximately no one ever does that.
What are the subsidies of nuclear compared to wind, solar, fossil fuels, etc. Do those subsidies include the cost of externalities like nuclear waste disposal/storage vs. pollution from fossil fuels or disposal of things like batteries for renewables? And costs for things like mining, building, etc. raw materials to get the various systems up and running, maintenance, etc. Honest questions. I haven't seen anyone run those numbers.
Galvanic isolation means "no current is allowed from primary to secondary side". This is true of capacitors... but only in theory. Real life capacitors have leakage resistance and therefore do not, in practice, form full galvanic isolation.
The biggest problem I see is that there is no control scheme available for now to match that. Even if the glasses delivered 100% on that promise, you'd still have to use a mouse and keyboard to play Total War or Sim City in any reasonable way.

Not to mention, the vast majority of games try to pull you into their world, and make it seem large or even unending. AR directly works against both goals: you are integrating the game into familiar surroundings, and the game space becomes severely limited. Sure, there is some space for things like Pokemon Go or other "bring the magic/tech/? into your daily life", but this is a very limited setting.

From this point of view, I believe gaming with AR is never going to take off (though there could well be space for a handful of extremely popular games, like Minecraft or Pokemon Go), and VR is far more promising in this space. I also think that neither VR nor AR will make any serious impact unless and until some new control scheme is invented that can actually feel different than sitting in front of a screen (but with the screen hanging from your head).
I think the idea is that you are the only person (not paid by you) that thinks they’re the smartest person in the room.
Mistakes themselves aren't evidence of evil or malice, sure. But when you know your system is full of mistakes, and you intentionally choose not to set up a functional system to let people get the mistakes fixed, that is evil and malice.
That's one of the things I've found deeply interesting about the current generation of tools, there's little (if any) comprehension going on, it's really just trying to "enhance" a blur/bit of noise to make the image it was told to make.

And I'm not sure I completely know what you mean, but we are planning to add voting and tagging to improve filtering for images.
Arguably it's that kind of thinking that's destroyed society. Dumbing things down to the lowest common denominator.
I mentioned that investors don't seem to be getting any special benefit, if you look at the stock (including re-invested dividends).
If we're going to be pedantic, env doesn't have to be installed at /usr/bin/env either. See https://www.felesatra.moe/blog/2021/07/03/portable-bash-sheb...
The difference is that you usually store garbage to protect people from it. With nuclear waste, however, you also have to protect the waste from people like ISIS & Co.

It's cheaper to store something in such a way that you can't just trip over it.
But it's something else to store it in a way that you can't reach it even if you know where it is.
Ads were a big part of Web 1.0 as well. Any free content, even from a news site, needs a funding source. Thats why physical newspapers used them before the internet was invented.

Web 2.0 is defined by uploads: user-generated content. Users visit the site to see what other users have added.
This is a not often talked about topic that I'd like more data on, or simply more case studies. IIRC, Y Combinator takes the stance that they'd highly prefer two founders over a solo founder.

Maybe this is exclusively a networking or proximity problem but considering the tech circles I run in internationally, there just isn't an abundant amount of people I want to do business with as partners. And frankly, yes, it is because most people are woefully underqualified.

There are undoubtedly people on HN that you and I run into on a regular reading basis who have more knowledge in a random technical space than most people on the planet. There just aren't a ton of us the further you go in.

Let's not get carried away here, one person working in ANY space in the world for a short amount of time making the right decisions can very quickly become a top 1% knowledge carrier in a field with low intellectual barriers to entry. When you hear people you think are bragging about being a top person in their field, the reality is more like there are only 10,000 participants in 7 billion people on the planet, and 20% of those 10,000 are actively working on their problem.

I've considered cofounders twice, maybe three times, in my life. As far as my experience takes me, they're not frequent occurrences. You will have an expiration on how many life experiences will allow you the affordances to meet these types of people organically.

Otherwise, you need to find a cofounder through a Y Combinator-like space. And frankly, I don't see the value in that other than the immediate logarithmic fall-off of early labor split between two members with skin in the game.

So the probability space is already working against you. I'm certain there is an obvious flaw with my thinking like, having to cofounders with specialties across two spaces is undervalued, but even then you just are not going to run into enough people in your life who you're going to say, yes I want to do business with this person for 10-20+ years. Warren Buffetts and Charlie Mungers or otherwise good friends, true partners in business, are not popping up left and right. You can't pick one up at your corner store Circle K.

Edit: There are other cofounders besides technical ones, but the same truths hold across disciplines as well.
Treating everyone like an idiot is just doing you and them a disservice. The word exists for a reason, use it.
You're spot on with the curation! I'm really exciting to add voting and weighing to the images. I think that's where this'll really start to shine. "Girl reading in a coffee shop" generates about 1 usable image per summon, so I'm looking forward to empowering users to manually filter for more usable images.
NieR: Automata calls them "endings", but the critical-path "endings", of which there are five, are actually chapters. You aren't playing to get collectibles or anything, it's a new experience along the way.

The game isn't over until the end of Ending E, and I think it is incredibly worth it.
Progress on Godot 4.0 is a big deal for a lot of people. If you don't care about it, then don't upvote it
While I agree with the sentiment, it does need to be said that trying to find a cofounder can be incredibly difficult, and doing it solo should definitely be a consideration.
What's bad is that while neovim tries to make vim much more functional with bunch if plugins, they barely stay stable.

I don't know why but even if I install same plugins with same config on various machines of same Linux distro version, some just throw errors on every launch while others tend to work and it's getting to the point of annoyance to keep using it.

It does feel like it's piling up parts hoping they don't fall apart.

Using vs code with remote config does make it feel saner.
Java has never been more alive really. All the other JVM languages just strengthen and retrench JVM, it all deploys the same. And Java itself has really come a long long ways since the JDK7 days.

Magic Leap is just a zombie at this point. NReal has a better and more realistic strategy.

Historically, Microsoft doesn’t know how to make revolutionary product lines profitable and sustainable long term. Kinect was an amazing concept with consecutive poor execution. My memory might be off but they also had 1st crack at iPod, and their current foray into both VR and AR are both underwhelming so far. MS does best when they wait and copy a proven concept. Even then success isn’t always guaranteed

We still will be hitting sci-fi soon. Just not with those companies. I have more faith in Apple, Sony, and Meta. Google will try again and I would be surprised if Amazon didn’t try as well
Well I got the admin menu to show up. Still lost the chess game though (my chess skills need work).
The main notable thing here is that this is apparently not just a toy, but designed to be mass produced at a sub 20k price point, and with all compute happening on the robot.

All humanoid multi purpose robots have basically been expensive showcases . eh Boston Dynamics)

It'll be interesting how usable/useful that thing actually is.

It would be quite ironic if the man who warned about the danger of emerging AI kicks of the robot revolution.
have you seen a large project grow ? it's all about organization so no one gets lost. none of it is needed if you have skilled developers, but skilled developers are expensive, so outside of silicon valley, companies hire shit developers and hope that they become semi-productive before their 5th anniversary.

the result is very large projects because no one knows how to write code, and tons of unnecessary abstraction and boilerplate stuck onto EVERYTHING.

just write what you need to solve the problem you need to solve, then stop.
Hey,

I'm the author of m4b-tool[1] and tone[2]. The most important thing I learned about software development, is that the best software has a meaning to yourself and that you should use it yourself on a regular basis.

m4b-tool is a tool to merge multiple audio files into the m4b audio book format. I hacked it together in a weekend in the language I knew best (PHP) and that probably was the worst for the job. All because there were no tools, that fitted my needs. After the first improvements I said to my self: Why not open source it, even if it is in a pretty crappy state? And the feedback was surprisingly good for a hackish script. And I learned A LOT from the community (e.g. how to implement something like multithreading in PHP or the simple fact that `cd -` goes back one directory in history).

Another important thing I learned is, that early shipping is good, but automatic deployment and versioning is nearly as important. Thats why I decided to invest some time and simply release `tone` based on git tags with github actions... that was a very good decision so far.

So to conclude:

Build something, that you use (and want to improve) yourself
Ship early
Go for auto-deployment / CI as soon as possible
Do some "marketing" for high quality feedback (e.g. on hackernews)
Cover your ass with automatic tests as soon as possible

100k/year isn't an infinite amount of money, especially since many of these people live in California.
Hi man, have a little class here. 100k a year in SF or any major metropolitan center does not have the same purchasing power that it used to. If rent is 2,500 at least per month you do the math. They still have bills and children.

Yes, they are not coal miners but they are not rich by any stretch.
Health services are not really affected by loi 96 and mandarin speakers have no issue talking to their doctors in my experience (specifically living with a mandarin speaker in Montreal in the past, with whom I'm still in contact).

However, doctors now have to be able to communicate in French and English along with any other language they wish.

Independence sentiment in a province annexed through war, even if it was long ago, and that has kept a different identity, has very little too do with racism it seems to me.

As someone who lived in Canada but isn't Canadian, there is so much disinformation regarding Québec in the rest of Canada, and not uncommonly outright hate, that the often heard claims of racism are very ironic.
It was announced that we were switching to Egencia, but then it was cancelled after feedback from user testing. Since all the other business apps we use are frustratingly shitty and broken in obvious ways yet nobody bats an eye, we all inferred that Egencia must be a truly special kind of dumpster fire.
I’m glad that worked out for you professionally and socially, but what exactly are you saying here?

If you had a co-founder you wouldn’t have time for friends that are into art, philosophy, religion, neighborhoods, hobbies?

edit: To clarify, if I had a business partner that cost me that much, I would definitely sever from that relationship. I would consider that a failure of a single relationship rather than waxing poetic about how everybody would cost that much. To do so would be for me to put myself above theoretical individuals because of a single event.

That probably wouldn’t be the sort of error that I would see as reasonable when thinking about anybody I’d maybe do business with…
I personally like the php `use (...)` approach

https://www.php.net/manual/en/functions.anonymous.php
I wonder if there is a way to do that automatically.
I mean it was an embarrassingly janky piece of shit that looked like a slight breeze might send it to the ground.

Nobody would first look at that and then want to get into a self driving car built by the same company.
This could be a metaphor for modern education and discourse.
I can see it being an issue with people that don't bother to keep clean git history? Eg, that write commit messages like "fixed bug" "oops" "more stuff".

I'm on Team Write-Good-Commit-Messages. The key of being on this team is learning interactive rebase: of course everyone makes mistakes, but by rebasing before you push no one has to know you did. When the commits are clean, the history is clean.

Write good PRs, too, and make sure they translate to good merge commits. Then you can run `git log --first-parent master` and get a pretty decent high-level overview of changes, but with all the other benefits of keeping individual branch commits in history.
> Nuclear is now in a position similar to solar cells 15 years ago: a promising technology which is too expensive due to small scale and bespoke nature of their production. It took a decade of betting on them, pouring money into them, and giving various discounts to the customers to get where we are now, with solar panels which are efficient, affordable, and available. I suppose nuclear tech would need the same to become cost-efficient. France did / does something along these lines; the US does not.

Unlike solar 15 years ago, nuclear has been around 60 years already and received huge amounts of subsidies (much more than solar, excluding all the extra military subsidies). So what is fundamentally different now that would change the essentially linear scaling to an exponential scaling and why should we not invest into the tech where we see ongoing exponential scaling of cost already with no indication of slowing (solar and wind)?
I would absolutely love something like the utility in the post for my TCL TVs. You hit the nail on the head with your description.
> Then you showed up conflating dynamic portals with compile-time map rendering,

I did not. Reread.

"Dynamic Portals" as you term them are nothing more than the combination of a transformation matrix and a screen space clipping region in the context of a recursive approximate depth first renderer, a combination that was utilized by MANY MANY games before the one you're apparently cheerleadering. And this is exactly what I'm talking about, but you're failing to catch the specifics of what I'm actually saying out of apparent defensiveness over this one game.
> [...] this black hole of a company [...]

> [...] massive waves of layoffs [...]

Given that you seem to like neither the ingredients nor the result of the merger, shouldn't you be happy, if they release workers so that they can join more societally productive ventures?
Very wrong of them to unabashedly make fake profiles of people without their consent to begin with. It is one thing to allow people to do whatever with a tool & another to market like that outright on the landing page
There's this amazing robot you might be interested in.
Thanks for the feedback, and I totally agree.
I'd really hoped to fill out the landing page a bit more before we launched today, but we weren't able to roll it out in time.

Honestly I'm taking a lot of inspiration from Unsplash, but gearing up to add very unique features specifically based around generation.

We're going to be iterating on this pretty fast, so I wouldn't be surprised if we have something there within the week.
I like leveraged ETFs but only in market environments with low volatility and high probability of consecutive daily positive returns. Historically those markets environments usually coincide with the major indexes (S&P, Dow, Nasdaq) being above the 200 day moving average, a good benchmark for the market being in an uptrend and volatility being low. Bear markets significantly under the 200 day like right now are generally marked with much less chance of consecutive positive returns and high volatility both of which crush the returns of leveraged ETFs e.g. TQQQ, SOXL, and friends. The upshot is I'm sitting things out for the time being.

GPL forces code others write for your project to also be GPL. that is a loss of freedom for that contributor.

if I license something with the MIT license, anyone can use it for any purpose, and they can take my code with their modifications private if they want, meaning those entities are free to do what they want, and the code I released is still freely available just like it was before. I lose nothing, and no freedoms were taken from anyone who uses my code.
I agree with the sentiment, but in some cases it is not dumbing down but making it clearer.

For me, the gold standard of this is Carl Sagan writings. Beautiful ideas, explained in the clearest language possible.
