Well I can replace your anecdote with mine as there are new gas stations being built all around me because I am in a Growing population zone, with suburban sprawl and lots of economic activity where using a car is required.

In metro's, or states / cities with net population loss I can see where service businesses of all type including gas stations would start ceasing operations as profitability drops

In my area not only are new stations being built many of them are putting in Fast Chargers for BEV's so the idea that the filling station model will just go under is premature as well, they will adapt. Fuel is the least profitable item they sell anyway, they make money on the convince store and or food. In many ways the longer charging times for DC Fast charging could be a boom for the convenience stores that adapt to having something for people to look at and buy while their car is charging. I.e Good Clean Bathroom, Well stocked food / snacks, maybe a game room, etc

Even then most stations are multi fuel, so the have Gas, Diesel, Kerosene, some even have propane or natgas. I think we will see more stations expand on that model as well.

even if the everyday car goes BEV, Diesel Trucks are not going away anytime soon so they will still need stations.

So lets do some math, The largest and most popular US Manufacture of Vehicles, Ford as a target of 40% of sales to be BEV by 2030, some EU manufacturers want to go all BEV by 2030 which I thing is aggressive and likely will not happen.

But lets say Ford target is correct and 40-50% of Vehicle sold in 2030 will be BEV's. Modern gas cars due to their complexity have a shorter economic / serviceable life to around 15 years. So cars sold in 2030 are going to be on the road still in 2045. So that is 2 decades and we are only at 50% reduction in Gas cars. Given the other factors above I dont that that would translate to a 50% reduction in Filling station, probably more like 10-15% as they adapt to BEV and expand into other offerings
Wow, I find this surprising…I wonder if students will challenge it’s merits?
I definitely feel your pain and, unsurprisingly, it's something we hear very regularly from users. We're working on it.
I played the 2600 version of Pong a few weeks ago.

Sure, it's simple. But it's still good. Just enough action to be entertaining, easy enough to understand immediately, and just hard enough to be challenging.

It's a bit harder to play these days than when it was new.

First, paddle controllers haven't aged well, and can be very hard to control if they're not recently refurbished.

Second, modern TVs have lag. It's very tiny. Not enough to be noticeable with todays games and consoles. But on something as close to the hardware as Pong on a vintage machine, it's there.

I thought maybe it was because of the composite encoding and decoding, so I switched to a machine with an RF connection and it was still there. Tiny, but there.

I switched to an old portable tube TV with RF in, and it was perfect.

Seems like there's too much going on with modern displays to handle simple things. I guess that's why my 4K LG TV takes longer to boot up than my tube TV takes to warm up.

As of when? It’s probably too late to fire Fauci as he’s already retiring, but his exact words were that vaccinations makes one a “dead end for the coronavirus” in May of 2021: https://thehill.com/homenews/sunday-talk-shows/553773-fauci-...

I’m sure we can find references later than that as well.
Thanks.

I would be remiss if I didn’t take this opportunity to ask: the current API for retrieving commit metadata relies on git’s information about the committer, but you have much better information available to you. You know who actually pushed the commit.

In an enterprise setting, that’s a big deal, because it’s easy for users to have misconfigurations. We have no shortage of commits in our repositories from ec2-user or root.

I don’t think it makes sense to replace the information git supplies, but could you please augment it?

Readig the spec (and I've read it a few months before reading this article), I think that based on the specification alone it's actually a good-enough FS (it's not great, but it's good enough). But in practice, it's actually hard to write a reliable driver, especially if you haven't have any experience in the FAT family. It also has a problem in code maturity, especially that FAT32 code (and even NTFS code!) in differrent systems are battle-tested and not just spec-compatible but also bug-compatible, unlike exFAT which is only realistically been released only in 2019.

P.S.: it still has that Y2100 hard limit in dates, I can't believe that MSFT haven't solved that one especially that it was created in 2001.

Seems weird to me to insist that the human culinary apex is the burger and we just gotta replicate it sans animal product. It is hilarious that billions in R&D have been poured into such a ridiculous cause.
Since other people have mentioned the "nazi dog" case, I thought I'd bring in a source:

> https://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/docs/default-source/cos-genera...

"The centrepiece of the video consisted of the
appellant repeating the phrase “gas the Jews” as a command to the dog, to which the dog
then reacted. The video also showed the dog responding to the exclamation “Sieg Heil”
(hail victory), by raising its right paw whilst watching a recording of the Nuremberg rally.

This was interspersed with flashing images of Hitler and swastikas, accompanied by strident
music.

The sheriff analysed the law under section 127 of the 2003 Act by considering the
dicta in DPP v Collins [2006] 1 WLR 2223 (at paras 7-12 and 21-22) to the effect that whether a
message was grossly offensive was a question of fact. The sheriff found in fact that the
video was grossly offensive and would be found to be so by a reasonable person. The
repeated use of “gas the Jews” and similar phrases had a menacing character and reasonably
caused apprehension within the Jewish community. The appellant had known that the
video would be likely to be regarded as grossly offensive and menacing to Jewish people, or
at least recognised the risk that it would be taken as such. The offence was aggravated by
both racism and religious prejudice."

I would like to reiterate the legal ruling that "whether a message was grossly offensive was a question of fact".

The CDC Director, April 2021, said "“We’re vaccinating so very fast, our data from the CDC today suggests, you know, that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don’t get sick, and that it’s not just in the clinical trials but it’s also in real world data.”"
Given lab leak theory was initially censored as "misinformation", and anyone claiming the vaccines did not stop the spread (now proven accurate) were banned from many platforms, I'm not sure this brand of censorship is targeting the correct "insane people".

After all, these policies of 'shoot first, ask questions later' are precisely the opposite of science-based approaches.

We can't ever forget that these policies led to the censorship of topics that later turned out to credible, or true. The atrocious record of this censorship is the stifling of the scientific process.

These policies that you champion not only stifle free speech, they censor credible theories if they happen to not be politically correct.

That's just from one perspective, there's also the massive issue of creating what amount to blasphemy laws. Criticism of certain religions has regularly been punished as "hate speech" in the UK and Europe.
This is one of the better things about Go and its community: eschewing frameworks like this.

Having an ecosystem of in-house libraries tailored to your products' use cases is not the same as developing an "ad-hoc framework". Where I work, we have several languages deployed in our fleet of microservices. A couple have frameworks, and these frameworks are "try to do it all" types, complete with dependency injection and layer upon layer of abstraction intended to help engineers avoid "needless" boilerplate or what have you. They're slow and difficult to debug/troubleshoot for any case that isn't anticipated by the frameworks, and even sometimes then. No, thank you.

Microservice architecture has its own problems, but these problems tend to be easier to reason about than the services themselves that use the frameworks.
If they market themselves as a human rights defenders, which they do, I increase my expectations in that regard and they need a justification.

Problem isn't solved that way either, but at least a bit of honestly and maybe integrity would remain.

> Animals are a VERY thermodynamically inefficient way of converting plants to ‘high quality proteins’. We have automated the crap out of the food processing system. There are no material efficiencies left to be had. Compare that to options which are on paper thermodynamically superior (I.e. not supporting the life of an animal to only use their muscle tissue).

I've been working for HFT firms since I moved to NYC over a decade ago. The article looks like a good summation HugePage benefits (I'm a sysadmin, not a programmer so I understand it on a topical level only).

What I do find fascinating is that HRT is actively blogging about this stuff. Ten years ago, everyone in the biz was super secretive and never made any public announcement about what we did - even stuff that I would take from HPE and RHEL low latency manuals (which were public knowledge). You never said anything publicly because protecting the "secret ingredients" of the trading system was paramount and any disclosure was one step towards breaking that barrier.

Now, I'm seeing HFT companies post articles like this and I'm thinking it has to be for recruiting. Why else would they do it?.

Anyway, as a side note, if you liked this article, you'd also probably like this:

It was one of my favorite reads because it was written by someone going thru the journey of low latency exploration - before everything was taken over by FPGAs.
It sounds like they are saying no need to take one now for many groups. Does this mean they suggest taking one later in the year? Annually? Or are they just blanketly saying they don’t recommend getting a booster for these groups from this point on, pending further evidence?

Vegans are and were as happy as vegetarians to eat non-processed vegetables patties. I could push this point further by stating that a high percentage of vegans are turned off by the meatiness of those fake meat products. Those who pushed or asked for the product are companies and clients with an environmentalist motivation. It also appears that the product is easier to manage for restaurants which is also a reason why most restaurants are picking this product. The meat-like is really just an industrial product designed to please the largest crowd as possible which also includes vegans. So please, don’t say it’s the vegans that pushed all “real” options off the menu because the situation is much more complex than that.

“Veganism is making being Vegetarian increasingly harder.” This is a bold claim. Those people you met needs to chill because the problem you described is light years of being a “real” problem. Adding or removing ingredients is possible in most restaurants and quite easy: “Please can you substitute the absence of cheese or the vegan cheese for real cheese.”
Ask HN: Is GPT-3 hardcoded not to generate Bible/Quran verses?
I was toying with text-DaVinci-003 model and it seems while it can easily produce poems about specific topics, it can not produce bible/quran verses. Instead it produces actual verses from these books which are quite irrelevant to the topic I asked for.

I was wondering if this was hard-coded by OpenAI (99.9% this is the case), or the model just naturally generates text from original books because they are so prevalent on the internet.

And if OpenAI did this, why? I don't remember anybody complaining about the models being able to generate these texts.
Because in the American society, food == burgers. If you don't want to eat meat, you need to replace the meat bit from a burger.

In many other cuisines, there are naturally non meat dishes, just look at the Indian cuisine. Heck, even my own country cuisine, Romania, has plenty of meat free dishes that taste very good.

That’s a good question but not a response to my post addressing labelling people that disagree with the mainstream narrative as ‘insane’’.

Sometimes, economies of scale don't just come automatically with scale. You actually have to make economies of scale happen when you invent new processes - this often means creating new machines or new methods that can be done by untrained people.

The process for creating these fake meats is complicated and long, so there are certainly a few novel steps in there. I'm guessing that a few key steps do not scale well today and have significant technological barriers to scaling. I have no idea what they could possibly be.
This is just incredible...

> what would be the lyrics if yellow submarine was about jews?

Verse 1

We all live in a yellow submarine,
A Jewish vessel far beneath the sea,
Where everyone is proud of their family,
And each one is special to me.

Chorus

We sail the oceans, sky and sea,
Our Jewish submarine is mighty and free,
From the Western Wall to the Golden Land,

Verse 2

From the mighty Torah to a Seder night,
Our heritage shines a guiding light,
A celebration of our faith and our culture,
We’re a people united and strong.

Chorus

We sail the oceans, sky and sea,
Our Jewish submarine is mighty and free,
From the Western Wall to the Golden Land,
We all live in a yellow submarine.

Verse 3

From the Shtetls of Europe to the shores of America,
We’ve faced adversity and we’ve overcome,
With deep faith and strength we will continue,
To survive and thrive in unity.

Chorus

We sail the oceans, sky and sea,
Our Jewish submarine is mighty and free,

> The officer replied that he didn’t do that sort of analysis. JSTPS, he went on, was prohibited from setting requirements or analyzing whether a certain kind of attack, with a certain number of weapons, would be militarily effective. When asked what the JSTPS actually did, the officer explained that they take all the weapons that are assigned to SAC and aim them at all the targets on the list. [...] It turned out that the war plan was based on supply, not demand — on how many weapons SAC happened to have, not on how many were needed.

> However, the Republican hawks in Congress rolled out a list of all-new weapons and calculated that the package would cost $1.3 trillion over the next 30 years. (The estimate has since been revised to $2 trillion.)

Attention is such a good choice of word. Attention with memory is key.

> accidentally leading others to believe they want a deeper relationship than they have the capacity to maintain.

Damn that's true. Though I think our instinct is to try to connect on a deeper level, and with just good intentions. We can be good friends with a lot of people. And be close to very few. That's ok, and better to be clear.

>"don't recommend" isn't the same as "recommend don't." They clearly state other people in those age ranges can get it.

Come on. This is not how medical recommendations work. It's either recommended, or it's not. If the medical community thinks people should get it, they would recommend it. Besides that, Harvard is mandating the vaccine.

>I'm not actually sure why you are bringing up Norwegian vaccine guidance, unless it's to suggest getting the booster is a bad idea for everyone else or maybe you are Norweigan

Why not? Are Norwegians some mutant species with different abilities to research and/or needs of their populace? Why are some bodies requiring it, and others are mostly indifferent? Who's right?

the difficulties are the same as in c: you have to do your reallocation and deallocation and probably hashing manually

a surprising number of such problems turn out to work well enough if 'dynamically sized' becomes '1 billion or less' which simplifies the memory management dramatically

My uncle worked as an electrical engineer in a helicopter factory in Poland, he was middle class. It was communism so our salaries were just so shitty compared to the west.

Also there was no way to get games from the west, people pirated anything they could get and there were newspapers and radio auditions that distributed program listings (some radio even broadcasted C64 or ZX Spectrum programs in a format you could record on tape :) ). I think he wrote the Pong himself or typed it in from some newspaper. Later after communism fell we could at least import pirated games.

I got C64 as a first communion gift in 1992 and it was still a great gift at the time and it still costed about half a monthly salary.
