Is there any use case for network of battery energy storage systems
I am studying if there is any case for connecting the battery energy storage system across enterprises to participate in lucrative energy markets like in ancillary services where short burst of reserve power in several mega watts are required. Has there been any such case studies or proof of concepts conducted before ?

Not meaning to be inflammatory but the same scenario exists in flipped terms: how many people would you let die of cancer rather than, idk, eat the downside of running riskier experiments.

There’s no privileged neutral really. Consequentialism just owns that. Now, that might be a separate question from whether society should act as if there’s a privileged neutral (ie be nonconsequentialist).
The 10-20 years to restore your previous stats would be the annoying part.
Yes, it takes time to learn a complex framework.

With Spring Boot a lot has been simplified, I never used Spring before that because I had similar thoughts as you.

Nowadays when I have to work without Spring (my current job doesn't use it, for example) I keep yearning for it as there's just so much productivity gains after you know the framework.

It's funny because I have said in the past the exact same arguments as you, it just comes from lack of experience. I recommend stop hating it and sincerely give a try on properly learning and using it for a while, I still have some reservations and grievances with Spring but not these shallow ones :)

> my problem is concretely that anytime I work on something, I can't work on it for long amounts of time

If this is always true, even when you're working on something that interests you, maybe consider getting that ADHD diagnosis? If it's just something you struggle with occasionally or when you're slogging through boring tasks that's something you should be able to improve.

It really depends on the type of work you're doing though. I doubt there'll be any one trick that works for everybody in every situation. Sometimes having music or a podcast or a TV show in the background keeps my mind engaged while I'm working on something that isn't exciting enough to keep it quiet. Sometimes I just need lots of breaks to keep my sanity. For work that requires a ton of focus I tend to work best in quiet dark places where there isn't much to pull my attention off of what I'm doing. Caffeine never hurts no matter what I'm working on.
They aren’t custodial accounts if you have to wait for bankruptcy proceeding to get your assets back assuming they have your assets.
This isn’t the government, it doesn’t need to be painfully slow to ensure it continues working properly. I’m having a hard time responding in a constructive manner because it’s a bit infuriating to hear someone make excuses for such a corrupt industry. Have you ever worked with one of these companies? I just don’t see how it’s possible for someone to see it firsthand and then come to the conclusion that the inefficiencies and high rate of error in data collection/management are not just preferential, but even required outcomes.

I will note that you addressed none of the points made in the article. My assumption is that either you feel the need to attack the authors conclusion, having no defense of your own, or you’ve foregone reading the text altogether.
Your response to receipts is this?
I agree. I still don't think I could bring myself to work for an adtech company, but pre-Musk twitter seemed particularly bad. Bloated, slow-moving, and stale, no direction, no vision. And if the vlogs coming out of there were any indication, a boring vapid, shallow, and entitled culture.

After Musk, there is potential where previously there was none.
this doesn't get talked about much.

There should be a tracker for companies that come out of nowhere and buy themselves into the top 10 of any major politician contributors list. So much money, so fast, should be a red flag for astute investors.

> Go watch YT for a few hours and I'm sure youll be on to your next get rich scheme.

I laughed, hard. Bravo to you.

To be charitable, some people may only be able to afford a normal lifestyle though a successful "get-rich quick" scheme. Think insane markets like Toronto and Vancouver that are flooded with laundered money; how are you going to make enough money for a home without making a YOLO-style bet on something you don't understand (but is portrayed to work for rich people)?

I think far less people would be taken by these scams if their basic needs were more easily paid for.

Focus, like many skills, can be improved, but takes practice and training to build up longer focus times. The below is mostly based on ideas from the Pomodoro Technique®[1]

To start, do a task without distractions for your current ability - 15 minutes. Set a timer and stay on task until time runs out.

Take a short break - 5 minutes, maybe 10 at most.

Repeat the above 2-3 times, then take a longer break, something around 25-30 minutes. If you feel OK, do another 2-3 rounds and then go do something less taxing that doesn't take deep focus.

If you have truly focused for the time, you'll know it. Just starting out, a couple of hours of work will definitely sap your energy.

Gradually increase you focus works times by 5 minutes. If you can get to 25 minutes without feeling the need to do something else, that's great. If you can do the above cycles with your full attention for a total of four hours, you're doing well. Not a lot of people can do really intense, focused work for more than four hours a day. The rest of your work day, do low-intensity things like answering emails, cleaning up your work area (both physical and virtual), and such.

There's an entire book devoted to this that I can recommend: Deep Work
Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World, by Cal Newport.

The reason FTX got to #2 exchange in only 3 years is because they were using customer funds and leverage to grow rapidly. If they hadn't done this they might have been much smaller. There are hundreds of exchanges now, most work exactly as you describe but don't make headlines because they don't grow rapidly then collapse.
Twitter has to survive. It is one of the few places that I can complain about Tesla code, documentation, user interface and poor service... well aside from YC news.
Related question - as pipelines are not python programs - it would be nice to be able to write unit tests to pipelines code :)
And that's where mock pipelines/tasks could be helpful
My question would be more like, what would be needed for it to fall to 10% of its price ? Still only limited to developed world, but at least would make it more accessible

Story I read in one of the tweets from his old friend was that he has surrounded himself with too many yes man who work overtime to boost his ego. I can imagine he casually mentioning idea of buying Twitter and all the yes men praising him for his brilliance. No one did due diligence to figure out that he would need to sell $4B of his TSLA stock just to avoid bankruptcy after spending $44B.
There's no overlap between denpa and vocaloid; I think you'd have a very difficult time having the vocaloid sing out of tune in a charming way.

ななひら (nanahira) is probably the most well known denpa artist, but she mostly sings normal songs now I think (and has a lovely voice doing so).

ココ is my favourite denpa artist https://youtu.be/2wl8Ofce8TE
I agree, that would be very useful. We have been investigating the best way to deliver this. Probably a generator tool, that would take a dagger project as input, and produce a jenkins configuration as output. This of course could itself be a dagger pipeline :)

Any guidelines on how to structure the final jenkins configuration? What would the stages look like in your project for example? Any mistakes to avoid?

Probably both, they've got to make back the cost of developing and testing the therapy, but there's probably a profit markup on top of that.
<cite> is also pure joy. From MDN:

However, the WHATWG specification for <cite> says the opposite: that a person's name must never be included, under any circumstances.

Umm, does he actually work-work? Or is he in meetings yapping all day?
Also adding: a couple of imageboard originals that introduced me to vocaloid, not really a fan of most vocaloid music though. I still don't know what sub-genre these are -- the producers being anonymous doesn't help!

Luka(?) sounds pretty natural here, too, especially for 2009. I still remember thinking at first that it was sung by a human.

He has runway as long as he is able to fund it, so there’s an upper bound.
Yet people tend to choose python instead of assembly when introducing coding to a friend. It is easier to write, in part because it’s easier to read.
That was the case several years ago, but Telus, Rogers, etc all have unlimited plans for that price now...
Not CAR-T or CRISPR AFAIK, but there's been some recent breakthroughs with getting treatments past the blood brain barrier, and promising glioblastoma treatments are in the pipeline as well. This is just what I've seen on the internet news, you'd find more than I know about it with some internet searches.

I hope you aren't affected by GBM. If you are, or someone you know is, my only advice is to live life to the fullest while you can and don't let yourself fall into denial of the prognosis.
That is the law in the US. In California specifically they needed 60 days public notice before a large layoff. That’s why employees have already sued Twitter.

The way he writes I can't help but think he has a large position that hinges on the US falling as a world power and the dollar losing reserve currency status.
i like the idea of using a low-code tool like Anvil:

https://anvil.works/

that said, i've never used that particular tool or really any of them, but Anvil changed their pricing recently to make things more startup-friendly, imo.

You'd still face all the same questions tho.

There are anvil-type partner agencies that presumably build saas apps pretty regularly. maybe search out some of the 'no/low-code businesses that made it'-type sites that seem to pop up every once in a while. a lot of it is hype, imo, but... possibly still legit.

I don't know if HN has a "What do you think about this type of app?" post type, but maybe you could put it in 'Ask HN' without getting downvoted to hell?

That can bring good and bad, too, so not sure it's all that useful. Some people love to hate.

But you might be able to find someone who is particularly interested in your idea and wants to help.

I have a couple of folks I use for relatively inexpensive development of saas apps using Laravel (a PHP-based framework), sometimes with various plugins - they're small operations so that's good, but it's not multiple people with a project manager, etc., so there's just going to be more work you have to do in that situation - which can be tough if you're trying to take care of your day job, too. Feel free to ping me.

Anvil can seemingly do a lot, but might not be able to do everything -- like, it might not be able to easily do team-based or multi-tenant saas (like Trello), whereas it prob can do a regular/simple saas like your personal gmail account easily enough. and building an app - like a native iphone/android app - is a diff ball of wax. $50k alone type of thing.

i use balsamiq for mockups and it's great. i use the 2-project plan, and retire/unretire projects as needed - the higher-level plans are too expensive for my blood. there is nothing else that comes close to balsamiq, imo. everything else is too complicated, or too garbage, or too pricey, or too whatever.

i usually start with pen (or pencil) and paper, a notebook, and start making notes, drawing screens, etc. then i take it to my dev and say, "here, please do this, and please give me an estimate of cost and timeline."

my latest project built this way is this:

https://navbarlinks.com/

i'm pleased with that outcome, and i may do further dev on it, not sure yet.
You can absolutely test Dagger pipelines, in the same way you test the rest of your code. Just use the dagger library in your tests files, the way you would use any other library. It should work the way you expect.
I found this a very interesting technique when you posted it, but I actually wonder now if there is much point to it. Most of the gunk is filtered out when making a stock when you pass it through a sieve and/or a cheese cloth.

Or give the job to Sandberg instead nudging her out.
I second this but at the same time the founder has a point. Since the average user can't create a blog with GH Pages or whatever else for free, he'll be willing to pay $8 for this product. The average customer won't be from the tech space and $8 would seem like "oh just $8 and I can have a personal website? easy!" so I'd say keep the price as is.

We need to work on the following:

1. Add an "i" element to SVG for isometric path drawings

2. Update the HTML parser algo to special case this "i" for inline SVGs
What I'd like is a tool on Hacker News, that would allow me to click on a username in a thread and do a quick search for a term related to the thread. For example, I'd like to know how many people in this thread who are posting against SBF praised him in threads from months ago. I think the whole story with him is a testament to what's wrong with tech culture and the media more largely. It's almost Elizabeth Holmes-esque but with a different personality angle.
Apparently that's common behavior for all fish, not just octopuses. Here are 2 fish, each borrowing their own tunnel, and each spitting on each other, trying to block opponent's tunnel:

> So my understanding of this part of the spec is confused (what does “interpret” mean?) but if it means no support for inline HTML that is indeed a pity.

The comparison to commonmark is important - it has special rules for HTML: https://spec.commonmark.org/0.29/#html-blocks

All its saying is that that djot doesn't have special rules for HTML so it spits out the same thing it receives, apparently with escaping relevant to the selected output mode. Note right above the part you quoted it shows an example of using HTML ("we simply do not allow raw HTML, except in explicitly marked contexts").
Very impressive ... I hope I can get a /24.
I didn't meant to paint stupid as an absolute. He is smart too. Some of the smartest people I know are some of the stupidest people I know and vice versa -- its all relative. I think in this arena he's behaving stupidly. I mean hey I think he does in those other arena too but I'm not going to argue against technical people that have been in those rooms with him.

Leaving 3.5x perf of what on the floor though?

We're working on applications that's either waiting for the disk, waiting for the db, waiting for some http server or waiting for the user.

None of our customers will notice the difference if my button click event handler takes 50ms instead of 10ms, or if the integration service that processes a few dozen files per day spends 5 seconds instead of 1 second.

I'll easily trade 5x performance in 99% of my code if it makes me produce 5x more features, because most of the time my code runs in just a few milliseconds at a time anyway.

Of course, I'm weary of big-Oh, that one will bit ya. But a mere 3.5x is almost never worth chasing for us.

There will be people who want to work for Musk.
>>This isn't to say that decentralized finance is exactly the same as traditional finance, because it isn't.

This has nothing to do with decentralized finance. FTX was a traditional centralized financial institution catering to crypto.

The leading DeFi apps have had no problems this cycle, and that's
because they're fully on-chain, with every transaction validated atomically/in-real-time to ensure its business logic integrity. DeFi's transparency and accountability is what the best CeFi firms strive for.

The big risk with DeFi is the possibility of a smart contract vulnerability, but this diminishes over time as these apps have their source code reviewed by more people and go through more real world battle-testing.
No surprise Yoel left.. After he advertised his new spam reduction alg, Elon posted a poll and few said they noticed an improvement.

That's the problem with relying on a specific metric of spam, if you can measure it, it might be easy to block, but it doesn't necessarily represent real spam prevalence.
Apple at least has always been bizarre about work conditions and anti-WFH, so that seems expected.

It seems optimistic to think that Musk made a careful decision based on nuanced factors that just happened to have exactly the same outcome as every other company he owns.
Every user on Twitter should be paying a monthly fee with one-time service fees for those who want additional verification and services.

The fact Netflix/Disney/Hulu/Amazon/Apple make as much as they do is crazy compared to how much people use Twitter for free.

Advertising models are absolute dogshit that never really worked. People will pay for access if you improve the experience - like no ads from the get go.
A tangential question. What exactly does it feel to be like in Adderall? I'm intimately familiar with the 15-minutes venture into Reddit/HN etc so if I were to, say, take Adderall, just what exactly inside me would change?
It's also a red flag about the savviness of the donors, since the races we're talking about here are extremely overcapitalized. SBF had a good shot at buying influence at the House level, but even in most Senate races the campaigns are probably already at a point of diminishing returns on dollars raised without any of this guy's goofy crypto money. Not that the campaigns won't assiduously take his calls! They'll take the money! Even the Biden campaign, which does not in the final analysis give even 1/15th of a fuck about an additional 5MM, will have someone set up some phone calls to get that money.
> As some websites became more prominent thanks to their page rank ...

This is a non-sequitur. Publishers could monetize their traffic without PageRank, it is not a necessary condition for the publishers to realize they could monetize the traffic. This thesis statement is the crux of the rest of their argument, which makes the rest of this not make any sense.
Yea definitely a similar usage to hating, being a hater.

So what do you suggest? Them have the pay, and also set the rules? What else do you suggest? Work on the things they want, and not on what they are told?

Whatever you tell about the fact that it is employees are actually the ones who make twitter work, they aren't there the only ones on the planet who can do this job. If current employees don't want to work from office, then, maybe, some others might be willing.
Might find work, but is it at the same comp level? I'm unemployed, I'm worried I'll have to take less then pay then I was making before (270-320k based on the stock price)

Just so everyone is clear here, $1 salary + travel/security rounds out to $27,000,001 for 2021.

Additionally, travel/security don't seem to have any hard spending limit and alleviates Zuck's personal tax liability. (by $27M anyway)

Per the filing you linked:

" Mr. Zuckerberg uses private aircraft for personal travel in connection with his overall security program (including, beginning in 2022, a private aircraft that is indirectly and wholly owned by Mr. Zuckerberg and operated by an independent charter company). On certain occasions, Mr. Zuckerberg may be accompanied by guests when using private aircraft. "

"the costs of Mr. Zuckerberg's security program vary from year to year depending on requisite security measures, his travel schedule, and other factors."

(Emphasis mine)
Alright so I read the balance sheet:

1. The numbers you refer to are from the unaudited quarterly report

2. The last audited numbers are from their annual report, end date Dec 2021, during the tail end of bull market

3. $95 billion of the assets on the balance sheet are crypto assets. This is an unaudited figure, but there is no obligation to hold crypto 1:1 from what was deposited

4. Concentration of credit risk was a significant risk listed. This would apply to non insured funds at banks in excess of $250,000 and they also face risk of Tether or USDC imploding. We do not know the composition of their crypto assets. About 1/3rd of their audited crypto assets are classed as “other”

There’s plenty of room there for saying “I am shocked, shocked that our assets were not redeemable at market value en masse in the flash crash”

We’re talking about a company which has been repeatedly and publicly slapped by the SEC, in an industry full of accounting fraud, in a bear market, and which the markets rate as highly distressed.

Perhaps they risk criminal prosecution for missteps, but there are plenty of examples of that not being sufficient deterrent, of companies trying to dig themselves out of a hole.

You were referring to their unaudited 2022 balance sheet correct? I am not an expert so please tell me if I have missed something
Eventually, you run out of other people's money.
Absolutely. Plenty of people believe that Musk came from nothing.
