My personal use as someone his 30s is mostly as a kitchen timer with a HomePod mini (not my phone), to turn on/off lights, and to occasionally toss things onto a to-do list.

My dad on the other hand loves his full size HomePod stereo pair and uses them frequently, almost entirely for playing music with voice commands. I think there are other things he might find it useful for but I haven't shown him those yet.
In New England my dad always kept the house cold (not 50F) while my college dorm (also in New England) was kept toasty.

Going back and forth over winter break I definitely noticed a productivity shift being some place I was warm and comfortable.

Perhaps there are less noticeable psychology benefits for it being cold but I do not think being uncomfortable and dealing with it is a long term strategy for success. And probably completely impractical if you live with other people in the same house.

Okay, a worthy target.

I will list layers that I guess you are using:

docker client binary

a command to run the thing <---

user-specific docker configuration

docker daemon as root

system-specific dockerd configuration

Dockerfile

embedded in it, a small shell script to download Terraform binary <---

files scattered on /var/lib/docker/* which never require cleanup

dns implementation

virtual bridge and other kernel-ish entities

tcp proxy

a running Terraform binary <---

I marked the layers that, in my opinion, would be enough to achieve the same goal. The explanation is that terraform is a self-contained binary that is not trying to scan system-wide or homedir-wide for files that can and will break it into dozen pieces. It is confined to the repo.

If two photons are better than one, why not Doc Edgerton style "strobes"? Too much data generated? Too much energy required?

Am finding it difficult to get useful unbiased quantitative measurements from two-photon excitation, cryo-em, etc. Alter the warp parameters, and the capillary branch network is altered. Not to mention what CV magic the STED-superresolution capture has baked in. Really useful for in vivo "movies". But you can't beat good slide prep, sota ccd capture, carl zeiss mag and statistical sampling. Fine cell structure determination down to angstrom limits can be estimated with only a few slices and proper design of experiments ;)

This struck me as incredibly unprofessional, though I understand it's almost certainly an automated system doing it.

How does "automated system" somehow mitigate it being unprofessional? If you're going to make an automated system, part of professionalism is to make sure it actually works correctly. But then, look at how many people are hiding behind 'it's an algorithm so we can't be held accountable' these days.

Related to this, in 2012 Gary Connery [1] landed a wingsuit over cardboard boxes [2], and in 2016 Luke Aikins [3] jumped from 25000 feet (~7600 metres) without a parachute, landing into a giant net that absorbed the impact [4].

There has been issues of BASE jumpers accidentally landing wingsuits without deploying a parachute too (can't find any reference online at the moment).

Debit cards are effectively the same as credit cards for this purpose, paying for things online. Many (if not most) banks and credit unions in the USA will issue you a free debit card upon opening an account, some without even needing to put any money into the account.

I've generally always considered level 2 or 3 autonomy to be a recipe for disaster, humans can't be expected to remain alert and respond quickly when they aren't doing anything. But at the same time the way Tesla autopilot woks is congruent to autopilots on boats or airplanes. Those won't avoid other vehicles and are usually perfectly happy to let you crash into shoals or mountains.

Every sailor on those ships watched them send everything they had to rescue the pilot. Every one of them repeats this story. And every kid/new recruit hears it. My guess is that it instills a sense of safety where there isn't any.

Who cares about "pure" Python? The whole point is that you have powerful libraries at your fingertips and you can leverage those to get fast code. Can you do the same in Go? JavaScript? PHP?

I'm tired of people comparing languages but then leaving out the major winning points for Python. Numpy & co. are integral part of Python, no serious ddv would use just "pure" Python for numerical methods, ever. So let's compare real'world Python, shall we? I doubt Go has a chance then. /rant

> efficiency of 42% of Betz limit, which is inferior to standard utility-scale turbines

That isn't surprising at all; wind generation scales very very well with larger size. If it actually achieved 42% at that size, it would still be a major innovation.

But that's also a strong claim that requires very strong evidence. The reasons for inefficiency at smaller scales are fundamental: higher drag to lift. Essentially what they're doing is using the existing building as part of the device to direct wind. This is not a new idea, and in favorable conditions you can get some impressive numbers. But in real life..

Linux's C code doesn't stick to the C standard either, it uses plenty of GCC extensions, and it's not clear Clang would have implemented all of them if it wasn't for their use in the Linux kernel. So a language specification is not that high on the Linux priorities list.
Hi, I'm the author of the blog post. Thank you for your comment. In reference to your edit, we are investigating a DAO to empower the community, but aren't committed to it, only investigating it to see if it is viable. In terms of funding the community, we are committed to creating a fund with non-crypto money to be able to give back.

In terms of "leaving money on the table" this is very much not that, open source is incredibly non-equitable and skews a lot to a certain way (a lot of people with who can afford to give up time to open source, not everyone but a large amount). This prevents many who have a desire to work on projects such as Gitea, but need to find a job or two to pay rent and get groceries. By establishing what we have, we are hopefully broadening the pool of people who are able to participate.
Yes, and in a sane world the SEC and FTC would have slapped Musk down.
This is a weird take; most systems in data centers don’t have people walking from rack to rack yanking power cords, and most consumer systems don’t even have a power cord to yank.

It's believed Byuu/Near took their own life, but there's quite a bit of (circumstantial) evidence out there that would make you believe otherwise. It is feasible Near nuked their identity (as they nuked their Byuu identity previously) and resurfaced under a new identity. I hope that is the case, because their contributions to emulation were great. A rare talent.

In recent decades it has become much harder in most countries to get access to the red fuming nitric acid necessary to decap epoxy-encapsulated chips; it's considered a "drug precursor" and/or "explosives precursor".

Revenue down 4%, costs up 19%.

Yes. I know of these. Here in the Netherlands those start at about 1000 euro's for a hybrid solution. A full heat pump boiler starts at about 2000 euro's. But you get about 600 euro's subsidy. However, as far as I can tell it will only about half my power consumption for hot water. So with the current electricity prices (about 30ct/kWh) it will pay back itself in about 13 to 15 years or so.

I've also looked at instantaneous water heaters, which could be even more efficient. But those with enough capacity need 400V, which I don't have in my apartment. Also I would probably have legionella growth in my regular water heater if I want to save even more electricity. Which would be a health issue.
Ask HN: Can you recommend an analytics platform for a dev tool?
I'm building a dev tool thats going to go out to other developers. The easy thing to do is to slap on google analytics. I don't know how google analytics is currently viewed in the dev world but I don't imagine it gets a lot of love. IDK, maybe I'm wrong.

In any case, could you recommend some alternatives I could use instead?
He skidded the airplane. He applied rudder trim so that the tail was not directly behind the aircraft. He also mentions trying to be nose high.

What this would look like I think. Slow down to increase angle of attack in level flight. The nose is now high (likely already occurred after flameout and ejection attempts without thinking about it - check). Go full deflection rudder trim to skid the aircraft. Now trim the ailerons and elevators to fly level based on drag and adverse yaw. Get out.

I'm all for renewable energy, but what's up with the push (and subsidization) for homeowners to become mini power plant operators? It's even weirder with home batteries involved. Yeah you save on transmission costs, but it's overall a lot cheaper, safer, and less politically messy to do this at dedicated facilities or huge buildings like malls.
Fwiw, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpetual_calendar
No, that is my point, and you are correct. Discovering that things didn't work the way you thought are not a challenge to the fact that I am conscious.

Of course, when I phrase it so baldly, you might be inclined to say "Well, of course", in which I would suggest, apparently you are agreeing with me. But this slight-of-hand occurs a lot, when you aren't so clear with the statements.

This is only a challenge to "anyone who places a lot of importance on that feeling of identity" if they placed all their importance on secondary opinions of what that identity is. Don't do that. Your identity should not be tied up in "I'm a conscious being because my neurons in my hemidimi cortex fires and directs my globocampus to plan how to start moving my finger", because then you have an identity crisis when it turns out "hemidimi" and "globocampus" are just made up concepts with no referents in reality. But there's a lot of people who will get very excited or try to get you very excited when it turns out they disprove the existence of hemidimis and globocampuses and declare this is all deep and profound and stuff. It's not. It was an error in the identity, that's all, but you're still a conscious being.

So, yes, I'm disagreeing. This isn't profound at all.

Or at least, it shouldn't be, if you aren't making fundamental category errors, if not outright reveling in fuzziness and uncertainty.
When the shit starts flying, the execs and marketing team are absolutely going to throw the engineers under the bus. "We were just repeating what we were told by the engineers." "We didn't know any better."

It happens every time. The best defense for the engineers is to have thoroughly documented the limitations of the system.
> It is wildly destructive to society to spend all day working to funnel money from social services to the yachting class.

I don't see how this is relevant, given that it's not what corporate tax accountants do? All they're doing is figuring out how to use the tax system designed by the government to minimize the amount of money going to the government.

The government does not, as a matter of fact, spend all of its money on social services - vast amounts go to administration, national defense, social security (which is supposed to be self-sustaining), and other things, so this entire line of argument is invalid.

Moreover, the very fact that there are exceptions intentionally added to the tax code means that they're explicitly meant to be used, and therefore that using them is not evil.

Meanwhile, the fact that there are enough exceptions in the tax code and therefore less wealthy individuals and smaller businesses without the resources to make use of them are disproportionately disadvantaged is bad, and solely the fault of those who wrote the code in the first place.

You have a problem with the corporate tax rate and want it to be higher? Sure, that's valid. But randomly, axiomatically claiming that some people using the system the way it was designed are evil because they make too much money? Invalid.

In order to have network access, Intel Management Engine is not enough, it does not have full network access at all. You need Intel AMT (also marketed as "vPro"), and that one is paid extra. With CPUs featuring such support being separate SKUs, so you would definitely know -- and you can check in ark. You also need to pair it with Intel ethernet or wifi, any other network interface is not good enough.

So here you have it, your separate class of processor.

Bukowski – A typewriter that captures everything while typing
Hello HN,
The other day I was thinking it would be nice to have a thing that captures everything while your typing, every flaws, every deleting and re-writing, every pauses and ...

For green screen shots this would be fine. For VFX LED wall shots, this wouldn’t work. However, movies and shows today are shot in a high resolution that you can crop/edit into most formats.

Green screen shots lend itself to resizing better due to the ability to fill in more of the scene while pulling the subject matter away a bit to fit the format.

While I agree it's a bit of a weird take, for example -- there may be performance tradeoffs made in any given workload to make the disk consistent, inconsistently

The 'most' there is doing some effort

It is actually quite a common practice for those being audited for disaster recovery to do exactly that -- yank cables. More realistically, flip some switches

We do it once a year, set aside a region and time... then test our processes

It serves a few purposes, most importantly -- are our services fault tolerant, and can we bring them back?

I think it's reasonable to trap the signals and make a best effort basis, knowing that PID 1 (or the environment) will eventually have to SIGKILL you -- ready or not

What they're really after is using the structure to direct the wind and create stronger flows by the lip of the roof. This is not a new idea, but perhaps they have hit on a shroud design that works more effectively.

I have little doubt that it can produce impressive figures in very specific conditions - many designs do - but I doubt they see vastly improved real-world performance.
