An oven doesn’t reach 300°C, blacksmiths work metal above 800°C, when it becomes ductile. Most of us don’t seem to have problems with that notion, except when discussing 9/11 that is.

If your computer is hitting oven temperatures you have a very big problem.
Is there a list of GDPR rulings and precedents that list which companies and consequences have resulted from GDPR?
I am curious, why do you include the word "lazy" in your description of fear of failure?
But let me ask, what do you have in your existential toolbox that helps you do this?

I realized that I occupy very little space in other people's minds. Not just me though, this is true of everyone.

I'm not exceptional or famous or rich. People may see me but they don't care. I don't mean that in a self-effacing "I wish they would care though!" way. I just mean that everyone is living their own life, fighting their own battles, and not really spending a lot of time thinking about other people. We think we're being judged harshly by those around us when we do things we perceive are bad, but the reality is that we're not. Other people aren't thinking about us at all.

Consider this - if you go to a bar and see 300 other people, you might notice half a dozen and think "Hot", "Fat", "Even hotter", "Ugly", "Drunk", "Slightly less hot than the first one". You don't really see the other 294 people. And after 5 minutes you've forgotten them all. Even the hottest one. Everyone is like that. Why put any stock in what they might be thinking when the probability is very high that you aren't in their thoughts at all?

I can live my life the way I want to because I don't really care about what other people think of me, because I realized that they just don't think about me.

I will add that I do care about what my partner and my close friends think, but I'm also able to accept that they'd tell me if they thought something about me was 'wrong'. I don't need to worry about their opinions because I can just wait until they share them if they want to.

I suspect the reason I'm able to think this way is that my partner is a therapist and talking to her for a decade has given me some useful tools for introspectively understanding what's going on in my head.

Sure, and I mean even I can make some convincing arguments against it too - but(in my experience) that's not what most arguments are about, it's about the profit motive and exploitation, not about "putting people to work on public works projects". Maybe I shouldn't have said "no one", that's my bad.
Sounds just like the TGV in France. Nice to travel between Paris and Bordeaux or Marseille for example, but travel between Bordeaux and Marseille would require going via Paris. It's hardly worth the name 'network' really.

That's not even talking about the fact that the lines don't even all connect to each other at Paris. They often terminate in different stations necessitating cumbersome travel from one station to the other.
It's not just central banking, but any money-related topic that involves large institutional choices or new paradigms, such as the gold standard or bitcoin. I've noticed that there is a very recognizable tone of voice attributable to people who self-identify as intelligent and who chose to talk about monetary issues like these.

The drive to appear intelligent and to distance yourself from the crowd is never as strong as it is in those discussions. The combination of money and power plus their physical manifestation in the form of a central bank or measure you can point to acts as a lightning rod for anxiety.

Wonder if Jobs had read that by 1985.
I've been sober for 4.5 years now - totally free from alcohol and cannabis (my first and biggest problem). I've also quit smoking.

First off, let me say that it took many tries for these abstentions to stick - that is normal, and you should remember that. Be kind to yourself. It's a skill and a habit you are building, and those things will take time. It took me years to finally gain real duration in my abstention.

Second, the fact that you are considering abstaining should be enough of a signal to you that something in you wants to stop - and this is enough to base the new behavior on. You don't need anyone's permission to stop. When I stopped I always heard about how "I wasn't enough of a drinker" to worry about it, etc. Many comments of this nature came my way. Just know that you know yourself best, and if these thoughts are arising, you should explore them.

And third, remember that if you are feeling unfulfilled in some aspect of life, substance abuse (of most types) will cloud this bad feeling, and give you an instant uplift. What happens then is up to you, but for me it led to a persistent drain on my ambitions. Thus I wasn't doing what I wanted, but at the end of the day, comfort awaited in the form of my drug of choice. This was my revelation that I eventually used as motivation.

After all, my point wasn't against trusting the internet, It was more that everything built on the foundation is as trustworthy as the foundation itself.

250L x 7m is 17kN, or about 5W/h, or about 2 AA 2450mAh cells from IKEA.

Pumped storage scales well though, as the stored volume scales squarely to the required container material (e.g. storing 25,000L will only take 10x the material while storing 100x the energy).
You’re missing the bigger point that both 50/50 and 80/20 are valid probability assignments as far as the mathematical theory of probability is concerned.

If we were talking about a deck of cards there would be no causal connection between the probability you assign to the next card in the deck and the next card in the deck.

Note that for the deck of cards different people can also have different probability assignments! Maybe you saw the first 26 cards as they were dealt face up, I saw them plus the card at the bottom of the deck, someone else has just arrived and has seen only the latest card dealt. Each of us will calculate different probabilities for the next card but all of them are unrelated to reality where the next card in the deck is fixed but unknown to us. Can any of us “explain the outcome”?
Yeah absolutely. This would be great for the Balearic islands.
> Clearly, the working class person who loses 10% of their purchasing power has to forgo more essentials than the billionaire who loses 10% of theirs

And I never denied that. All I'm saying is that in isolation inflation shrinks the gap between the two. It seems like you're trying to challenge it with emotions.

> Maybe that means the working class person can't keep the lights on, maybe they eat 400 calories a day to ensure their children have adequate nutrition.

Another emotional take. But I encourage you to speak to a working class immigrant. Working class struggles in US are nothing compared to the rest of the world. It's quite funny seeing how top 1% keeps complaining about top 0.01%.

> Plus, flatly rejecting the notion that people have a right to not have the value of their wages stripped by deliberate, human intervention in the first place - with a rationalization for wage theft of "some of the things you would buy with your wages lose value over time anyway"?

I'm still waiting for an explanation why result of labor not losing it's value over time is a human right. You gave several emotional takes and went into ad-hom territory, yet said nothing on the matter.

> Have you ever actually been part of the working class?

I did engage in manual labor for a brief period of time. Though I fail to see how that's relevant. Have you been a billionaire?

Cantrill talks about an experience he had at Joyent, where he diagnosed that memory was failing on systems, but the errors were suppressed by the firmware. Having adequate documentation of the firmware doesn't help you in this kind of sutuation. Holistic systems would not lie about what the system is doing in this way.

Gravity is an incredibly feeble force, compared to electromagnetism (i.e. chemical bonds). Storing a practical amount of energy require a large mass × height.
Digital Foundry is citing 3-4x performance multipliers (DLSS3 enabled) over the 6900xt, pretty much the best card AMD has to offer (at ~$1,099 MSRP). On top of that, it's also considerably more power efficient than the 30-series, but that's probably a side-effect of the node bump and increase in silicon.

Still though, as indifferent as I am towards Nvidia I think this is a good deal as well. There's plenty to balk at with that price-point, but there's also lots of (good) cards on the market right now. Nvidia deciding to release the 40-series in the current market seems almost downright experimental.
Eh, back then it was the difference between having some 3d acceleration or none. It was adequate for that. And did I mention the power consumption is insane now?
OkCupid used to have great engineering blogs often with an embedded and nuanced social commentary regarding the haves vs have-nots when it comes to the dating world.

It is probably far more cost effective to buy a new air source heatpump. They’re so efficient and work well at low temps now. I have infloor radiant heat at a rural house in upper Midwest, have thought a lot about using solar heat pipes and adding a storage tank, and it’s all so fiddly, pipes and pumps and manifolds and glycol and maintenance, all custom, all expensive. I’m almost certainly better off with PV panels and off the shelf heat pumps.

Apple deliver an absolute fuckton of memory bandwidth to their SoCs. A base M2 is swimming in 100GB/sec of memory bandwidth while the i7-1265U is 4/5 of that.

People who are not in prison have to work to afford their housing, food, clothing, and other necessities.

I am not an advocate for the current state of the prison system. But I don't get why people are fundamentally against "prisoners should work to provide for themselves, just like the rest of us."

Hell, it would probably be great for rehabilitation. You could teach people how to show up for a job and manage money. Make it work like it does on the outside, and you'd have an infinitely more effective prison system.
> be considered "incarcerated"

Even accepting grossly inflated propaganda figures, ~2M were detained over multiple years, with the vast majority on short sentences (months). We're talking stat shifts of low 100,000s locked up for months spread over 5 years. It wouldn't have shifted PRC per capita internment figures to be comparable with the US.

Or that by all accounts mass internment phase is over, majority have been released, extra problematic elements that couldn't be fixed in a few months/years are removed from society with lifetime sentences. The TLDR is "mass internment" is a temporary tool in PRC for deradicalization initiatives with deadlines in mind, not permanent conditions supported by prison industrial complexes like in the US. XJ securitization was expensive, not profitable.

Gravitational potential energy is just really, really low energy density. Fortunately it's reasonable to have pumped-storage reservoirs that contain trillions of litres of water.

One of the reasons I feel liking those would be advantageous. But I have a strong dislike for them.
Is it really an either/or situation? Is there absolutely no way to ensure both can work a bit better on the rail that they share? I genuinely don't know, but it was mentioned that the freight gets priority over passenger rail which suffers as a result. So it definitely sounds like this is by design, and that there's room for improvement that would allow both coexist in cases where they absolutely cannot use separate rail.

... unless you live in a place in which your dating prospects are few or non-existent, in which case you pay for the "travel mode" feature.
Yup I paid for online dating around when this article was written and it was one of the best decisions of my life!
I've never heard this before. Is it part of the US code or something like that? I'm assuming it'd be a regulation placed upon rail companies. If you have a reference for this I'd like to know more about it.
> It's very, very important to remember that there are many very right-wing people in "blue" states—just as there are many very left-wing people in "red" states. In fact, every state in the nation is some shade of "purple", with the strongest concentrations of one end of the political spectrum being around 60-70%.

It's mostly an urban versus rural divide. The states with the really big and politically influential cities all reliably have their elections won by Democrats and the states without big cities, or at least without politically powerful ones, all reliably have their elections won by republicans. Needless to say, the toss-up states have something of a balance of political power.

I presume the effect is largely due to self-selection. The arrow of causality is almost certainly political orientation causing choice of where to reside. In my experience Democrat voters who move to a rural area don't become Republican voters, they become miserable and go on and on, mostly online, about just how awful everyone else around them is. One sees a similar, but less noticeable, effect with Republicans in cities.

> never ringing a bell when passing, at relatively high speeds.

Bells are a problem because they make passing less safe at closing speeds over 2mph as people tend to react very unpredictably. When used at 0 closing speed people often interpret them as aggressive. I find the safest passing strategy on mixed paths is usually to slow to walking speed with 3m clearance until there is a grassy area or wide driveway/road/similar to pass with a wide berth, and to use the freewheel to make a bit of noise so it's not a surprise.

I think the solution (in addition to reducing the number of overpowered and fast vehicles) is probably a PR campaign of some kind to encourage some kind of predictable behavior (one ring means 'please do not move I am passing owly with 2ft of clearance' or similar)

> I strongly believe they should have to display a license plate and be insured, and wear a helmet too

That's just conceding that shared paths and bike paths should be more like roads, and then punishing the few people doing the right thing.

Actually enforce the laws that already exist, and if that's not enough make ebikes more like bikes (smaller, lighter, slower). I'm here for more LEVs (whether number plated or not), but they're not bikes, they do not belong on pedestrian paths, and adding pedals to one doesn't make it a bike.

200W or 250W power limits (as the real upper limit, not the horribly flawed test process euro standard bikes use that makes it more of a lower limit) and 15mph motor-speed limitations based on real physical design instead of software. If that's not enough, reduce the power further or make it scale down with speeds above 5mph.
It’s so weird to me that this is a near-universal definition of “character” because every neighborhood I’ve ever been in that’s segregated by class has been absolutely miserable and boring.
> what exactly should we take away from this? Just some general idea that "too many" people are in prison?

Yes. Same as when we compare what proportion of GDP we spend on health care and compare it to other countries with longer lifespans. We're supposed to take away the general idea that we are spending too much on too little healthcare. When we look at how much murder we have per capita and compare it to our number of prisoners per capita, we should take away the fact that we're getting too little murder reduction for too much imprisoning of people.

> How can we reconcile the fact that we still encounter too many dangerous, antisocial people with the fact that we have high incarceration rates?

We don't bother. If one's attempted solution of incarcerating poor people makes violence worse, the answer is obviously to incarcerate even more people.

> "The timing of Intel's launch couldn't have come at a better time."

The timing would have been perfect one year ago, as was originally scheduled. You couldn't actually buy a graphics card unless you paid at least double. That would have been the perfect point in time to enter the market, EVER. Instead they are now too late with a card that was designed to compete against Ampere when Ada is coming out. They missed the perfect opportunity.
Considering the time you spend in airport, for < 500Km is usually faster and more convenient to use the train if you can. That is my experience in Spain, at least.
Amazing response, thank you. This really opened my eyes, I might try IF/TRE now.
“Who Killed the Electric Car?” was a hit piece that has not aged well as GM has embraced EVs and is on their way to being a major EV manufacturer.
Yes - it doesn't have to be either-or, if you're really committed you can lay extra tracks so passenger trains can overtake the freight trains. Especially in the US, where there tends to be a lot of space, this shouldn't be an insurmountable obstacle. Or run freight trains mostly during the night, as they do in Europe. However, of course we're talking of different scales here: a domestic flight in the US can be twice as long as a flight from say Rome to London.
Those are some astounding numbers if the average power draw has not significantly changed. I'm looking forward to the 4070 or 4070 Ti.
There's a certain type of person on HN that, for whatever reason, believes nothing is truly knowable.

They won't say it like that, but you can see it in the way they interact and argue. In many ways its the fallacy of the compromise rearing it's head, they have an underlying belief that the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

Of course, if you ask them if sexual relations with a 5 year old is acceptable they'll suddenly find something that is truly knowable, but it typically takes such extremes to get them to admit that yes, some things in this world are actually knowable.

It's the modern form of nihilism.
