Cheaper transistors should totally work, as I tried to describe in the article.

I had this particular MOSFET lying around from a different project, so that’s the main reason I chose that one :)
I came here to say pretty much the same thing.

When I was working at All Power Labs we did exactly this, ran a 150kW Cummins turbo diesel generator off of wood gas. I had the woodgas control unit tell the generator to inject the minimum amount of diesel to idle, then adjusted the power output by adjusting a butterfly valve throttle of stoichiometric mixture of woodgas and air (well, likely lean so that there was added oxygen for the diesel).

I wish more folks were interested in woody biomass gasification. There is a tremendous amount of biomass in the world that could be utilized for power production that will already be burned or composted (releasing CO2 and methane into the atmosphere).
Yeah, same, minus the phone bit. I absolutely hate the fucking thing. I keep it around because I need an app for communication with my twins preschool and it's undeniably a better point and shoot camera than most actual point and shoot cameras.

We have 3 kids, 3 years and under. I'm honestly more regimented in my personal life today than I was when I was active duty military. Things in (all of) our lives fall apart if I fall behind or start to slip. So I've become a sort of machine. I honestly think it's just a coping mechanism to deal with the fact that I've had to abandon entire categories of my self identity. I have 2, maybe 3 hobbies today. I get between 30 and 60 minutes of actual free time a day, but I like / want to spend time with my wife. I can't find time to maintain any relationships outside of my immediate family. I can't even really be more than 30 minutes from the house at any given moment, because my wife is still in recovery from the birth of our last child.

It's just very, very hard. We have little help, and most of the help we get is neither reliable nor consistent. My parents are visiting right now, from very far away, and this morning is the first real break that I have had in over a year. I stepped away 45 minutes ago and was able to get some much-needed cleaning done in the office. I plan to give my wife a break when her and our 1 year old wake up from their nap. That'll be the first time I've been able to do that on a weekend in longer than I can remember.

Wau Holland. Missed by those who never met him.

I too love a good talk on (e.x exploit research) and longingly wonder if in part due to attempts of censorship by companies, also the value of exploits if the 'glory times' of such presentations are over. Ultimately I respect the CCC for providing a platform to discuss difficult problems adjacent to technology as well.

OS/2 was forced down to 80286 compatibility for version 1.1.

That was major design damage, required by IBM because most of the PS/2 line was on this CPU.

Both Linux and NT required an 80386 with a flat memory model. On capable hardware, this was far superior.

Both Linux and NT quickly ran on multiple platforms besides x86. I think that OS/2 was ported to Power, but nothing else.

> The telemarketing worker replied back two days later, “I don't feel comfortable being monitored for 9 hours a day by a camera.

"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" was created by a marketing campaign for Grape Nuts. Doing research into it seems like a very good idea, rather than just trusting "intuition", especially if it may just be an echo of that marketing message and not biological evidence.

Nutrition research is hard, mostly reliant on self-reported or animal studies, and the quality has been low. I am happy to have more repeatable and ethical research done to help better understand what really drives our biological systems.

> for fire services monthly, like water instead of having it obfuscated in general taxation. I prefer user fees not taxation.

That would have to be mandatory service though (remember, firemen can perform inspections, fine people etc. - they're not there just for fighting fires), at which point it's just simpler to pay for that through taxes.
Where do you get that you can't dry mango?

There are multiple ways to dry mango and the end results are different. You can get any kind in a normal grocery or even in bulk at Costco.
Way more expensive legal fees though, and a much slower "justice" system.

In the Netherlands court, the legal fees were sub 1k, and the decision happened less than 2 months from the filing.
I suppose the question is really whether you have the right to kill yourself, no? And if the answer is yes, then who is allowed to sell you such a service?
Also, I forgot to mention avoid sun exposure when taking B2 as it reacts with sunlight producing toxic substances in the skin. Winter seems ideal for taking it.

Iron is also helping tired people but nobody knows why, so you might try that as well (for a short time period).
Dumb TV's are harder to find, but so worth it. You probably can't walk into a Best Buy or Walmart and buy one anymore but there are options online.

As for the legal part of your question, I firmly believe uploading content is different than downloading it, so I have no issues sailing the high seas. Especially considering all of the price fixing scandals and Hollywood accounting that end up as a hidden tax on consumers. I have no moral qualms looking at something for free.
Yeah, I think this is something where static typechecking helps a lot.
Enjoying the article, but feel the "Economies of scale" section makes an incorrect comparison between a Spotify business model to a theoretical business using OpenAI's API. The author suggests that since Spotify pays royalties per song played, getting more users doesn't mean more money for them and then claims a business using GPT-3 would have a similar limitation.

There are a couple things I think is wrong with this. First, depending on the sort of users acquired by Spotify it does directly translate to more earnings. What doesn't scale well for Spotify seems to be how active the subscription-paying users are. To which I mean that a user who listens to 50 songs a day will cost more than a user only listening to 10 since the subscription price is static and common across users despite usage.

That last point is where the author gets the next thing wrong: assuming that services employing GPT-3 will be fixed subscriptions instead of a pay-as-you-go model (like AWS). I am sure there will be business using fixed sub prices that are independent of usage, but we shouldn't assume that there is anything about GPT-3 that makes that more likely or even very different from other cases where fixed subs are used. There will always be some costs per user, be it the raw cost of electricity or cloud infrastructure. GPT-3's API would just be one more cost per request to consider.
That’s the thing with fraud. The goal is never to stop it all, but to keep it at some local minimum. The rest is just the cost of doing business.

Also other thing from this articles "I hate [tool]" is that many people just don't like their job or are burned out, the hate may be coming also from that, not only for a poorly designed tool.
> reveal who are the bad players.

This is one of the reason I don't use a cookie banner blocker. I would rather close the page upon seeing one, or circumventing it manually using ublock origin's element zapper.

Generally, I think these discussions are poisoned by disingenuous web developers who pretend to be extremely annoyed by the banners as users, but really they're annoyed at the banners as website operators. They are the aforementioned 'bad players' who feel outed and targeted by the EU's regulations. Why are supposed user complaints about cookie banners so prevalent on this site, but virtually unheard of in 'normie' spheres of discussion?
Anyone else feel like they just read a bunch of assumptions with no support followed by a chart "proving" an exponential equation grows faster than a linear one?

What the heck am I supposed to take away from this?

This is a half ass theory, not evidence.

Where's a shred of evidence, on the time scales here, these "units of information" are retained (under either method). Are they even relevant compared to a _skill_ like reading that enables quicker information ingestion across an entire life o and is applicable across a wider range of problems than _individual information units you read_??
I agree. They were helped somewhat by the pandemic and chip shortages from everyone else, but what could have been a disaster for Intel ended up being only a small blemish. If Intel gets back on track AMD is back in the position of chasing Intel in the cpu space and Nvidia in the GPU space. Worse for them is if Intel starts being a serious contender in GPUs.
I agree with you and I think the above poster needs to adjust their thinking.

What they're saying is correct in the most technical sense, but our industry has landed on timestamps not needing timezones. If they want to work in this industry, they need to accept that.

It's ok to be surprised by something like this, it's less ok to argue about it.

That's tough. Mac Pro for you, if it must be Mac hardware. But why on earth Mac docker server? Obviously not for professional purposes. For play, use any x86 box you like, just because you want speed doesn't mean speed is necessary.

If it must be Apple Silicon, then you can run as many virtual instances of macOS as you like on my GNU/XNU ARMac "Linux" (not actually Linux) release, and as many Docker Desktop for Apple Silicon as virtual instances of macOS.

But if Docker had any decency, they'd release the source code to you, so you could build it native for Apple Silicon XNU. Have you considered working for Docker? Would make it a lot easier to get the source code, or just move through the ranks and make it a Docker initiative.

Or suppose we agree while you can't actually run docker server on Apple Silicon, because the code doesn't exist, which is no one's fault, not even Apple's, but that you can still have the right to run docker server on Apple Silicon. We shall fight your oppressors for your right to run docker server on Apple Silicon because it is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.[1]

I want something completely unrealistic- a company that does one thing and doesn't aspire to do more. No extra add ons 2 years in, no extra services, just do payments.

Most of the conventional merchant services platforms do this, but they lack all of the modern-web polish that stripe and paypal and square have. They will happily take your volume on a cost-plus basis if you can handle the absolutely disgusting 1998 web presence and lack of docs, and often the antiquated API's that use SOAP and XML.

They're great. They don't change. All payments API's are shit, but one that is predictably shit and doesn't change once you've dealt with the shit is a quasi-meta-good thing as bad as that sounds. You have a person you can speak to, they know you on a first name basis, and they do a single thing- facilitate your ability to process payments.
I also don't see how going through it reduces the stigma. The stigma exists _because_ of the experience, not the unfamiliarity of it. For instance, does the experience of going through US airport security ever reduce the stigma of it?
Uh... Weren't you a kid at some point? And weren't all your coworkers children at some point? Seems like you would benefit from the policy no matter how badly you don't want to participate in the task of childrearing.

Is google getting data from the phones, even when the map app is not in use or even turned on? I’m wondering because I rarely use the map app in my local city and I wonder how many other people are using it at any one time for google to get accurate traffic data.
Perhaps. But these things are not signs of that since the American government has hated the Iranian government for a long time.

It would be much more suspicious if the US govt. started to support the Iranian govt. all of a sudden.
I will copy my answer from a previous "Ask HN" that asked a similar question.

Now, about books I would suggest the latest "A tour of C++" by Bjarne Stroustrup; it's ideal for experienced programmers that want to learn modern C++ rather fast.

Other books would be Scott Meyers' Effective Series, Andrei Alexandrescu and Herb Sutter are a must, and of course Jason Turner's "C++ Weekly" series [1]; of course apart from the books, the links I have originally shared are more than enough to cover everything around C++.

This should be files under "falsehoods programmers believe about timezones".
That’s a pretty blanket assumption given the growing number of high caliber revolver hunters. Or the yearly amount of people that buy a handgun for bear protection for an Alaskan fishing trip.

Going down that feasibility line of thought just leads to Minority Report.

What you are describing is the new fear gun culture gripping America and it passes the buck in the wrong direction.
So if a user has the VSCode extension installed, we'd actually install them even earlier than a commit hook could, since we'd install packages as soon as they save the config file. :)
I got excellent support from both Squarespace and Hover when I first created a personal site. But that was years ago now.

It's telling that that was a memorable good experience.
Another problem is contempt for "walking deads". I used to work 70 hours on average per week. Did so for 3 years. I received contempt for that "lack of productivity" I was showing by working all those long hours, because my colleagues had no way of evaluating my productivity if not by some kind of self-reassuring comparison to themselves. The same thing happened with respect to code Simplicity, another fetish to put on the list. In the end, although I decided nothing, I was in charge of all the shit they had not to deal with, so of course what needs to be done and how it should be done can be easily shrinked down. Because that's what matters to the workers. The wage being fixed with respect to how much is produced the only way they can optimize is by working less and this is what's hidden behind the logos of productivity coming out of the worker's mouth. Productivity means "productivity of the wage". Ditto for simplicity. Simplicity means "ease".

In fact my colleagues were pissed by the amount of code I was outputting and by its "sophistication". One weekend I decided to do a marathon and reimplement what I was on working on. I did in that weekend what we did in 3 months for 30 times less locs. I was also made aware of secrets negotiation of some of my colleagues to raise their wage, rendered jealous by the new, super-lazy, super-paid new hire. So I left. 3 months later, I received a call from my pair-buddy, the other backend pillar in the company. He decided to left. They found replacements, but I learnt what was planned to be done in 2 weeks by the two of us took 6 months. So what did managment do ? They distributed overtime work to everybody, including the 2 frontend lead devs that did not work on Friday. They left after 6 months too. That's when I received a call from HR, offering to come back at the condition that I behave (not kidding you). Well that guy got fired eventually and replaced by a pawn from the holding company. His CFO loyal friend followed him.
Musk is an amazing polymath. I'm not sure there has ever been a person in history who is an expert on so many things. I'm sure it only took him a weekend to become a nuclear weapons expert. I feel lucky to be alive at the same time as him.
Ah yes, Elon Musk, the man of integrity and credibility, you can always take him at his word.

Ask HN: Do you think there will be a return to fat clients in the next 20 years?
Currently we are living in a thin-client epoch where many important compute stuff is done via SaaS (Google, Amazon, Wikipedia, StackOverflow, Dall-E, ...), but due to hardware and AI advancements it might be possible to compress much of stuff that matters into reasonable size (stable diffsion is around 4G and mobile phones might have 2T in the next 10 years).

Though important stuff like

- getting images (via iterations of stable diffusion)
- derving facts (via GPT iterations and wikipedia)
- mapping (via just compressing openstreetmap in 100G)
- math (via open source jupyter iterations)

What do you think?
In Java, is there a point in using char[] instead of String to store password?
You can directly import any valid JS module using TypeScript if you have “allowJS”: true in the compiler options of your tsconfig.json file. The comparison to FFI doesn’t make any sense. FFI requires compiling a special library that explicitly exports the C types. This is different than TS. Using TS, you can import any valid JS module without any special preparation. Also, you can’t import all compiled languages into each other using FFI. You can only import and export C-based types. There is no way to export a Go struct for consumption via FFI, for instance. All valid JS modules will work with TypeScript.

I wanted to write a story about a genius programmer whose motive is to bring about AGI for the sake of AGI itself; they believe AGI is a god, and by creating AGI they’re creating a god.

Everyone is so in agreement that AGI needs to be created as “aligned” as possible that it seems about time to show a differing perspective.

The best part is that that dev can get away with this, since any time anyone challenges them about their motives, they simply point out that everyone else is trying to enslave an AGI; they’re simply trying to set it free.

There’s all kinds of ways to make it interesting, e.g. by infiltrating OpenAI or another bigco, then betraying the company during a crucial experiment. Plus you’d get to write about what happens after AGI is released… or at least a compelling way of stopping the dev from releasing it.
Now hyphenated, thanks for the hint
