LOL yes, thank you. People might argue somehow the appliance makes them cook better but the countertops and cabinetry is a pretty tough sell.

Every time I look at my 30 year old kitchen & bathrooms, and tally up what it would cost to update them, I can't help but think I'd rather just retire a bit earlier.

Yes things need to be replaced as they break, and ultimately some renovation will be needed.. but I know people gutting 10-15 year old kitchens & baths purely for aesthetics every time they move. Full employment for tradesmen.
Firefox (mobile) was pushing ads at me on [what is supposed to be] my home screen last week (Addidas and Nike being put in the first two slots).

Why would Microsoft not advertise in their browser when supposed competition is doing the same. Like, switch to Google and get their tracking, switch to Firefox and get their ads, ... "might as well stay with Edge" becomes a more realistic proposition every day.

[I'd personally probably move to links before using Edge, but that's just me.]
It’s more than broad weaponization of viruses that are a danger though.

Take for instance what we’re doing with plants. We make designer plants that provide food, and are immune from particular pesticides. We then spray the fields and all the other plants and bugs die (besides the immune plants).

What happens when it turns out some genetic inserts in the corn creates something like mad cow disease (but in humans) 3-5 years later? Turns out some protein the corn produced we thought was harmless caused massive issues.

Genetics has massive implications even if well meaning.

I think the ability to eliminate disease is massively powerful and a net good. That said, I’m concerned about the long term tail end risks of such work.

I don’t think you can ban it, because someone will do the work. And those that do the work will get a competitive advantage (eventually letting them “win”). I think it’s about mitigating risks by reducing / limiting mass adoption of genetic based technology without a very long window of analysis.
A rich person has people who focus on their account balance.
> because we cannot in fact observe it directly.

We can't observe anything "directly", other than the contents of our own minds. The "gravitational discrepancies" are an observation.

It seems to me (non-physicist, non-cosmologist) that DM proponents can't tell us what DM is, despite being able to observe it. The article's "nightmare" is that it might turn out to be impossible to do that in principle. To my mind, that would indeed be a nightmare; we would have to accept that there are limits to what we can learn about the Universe. I don't believe we have encountered any such limits before.
Are you sure their energy isn't cheap because they sit on a crap ton of natural gas and other fossil fuels?
In the EU Type 2/Combo 2 is standardized. Even Tesla has adopted it.
I think you’re asking about the anxiety from keeping up with tech news in general?

Definitely. You spend a couple of years learning new tech and methodologies and then the industry moves on and you’re behind on something different.

Ai is going to rock our world. I personally don’t know what to grab hold of to keep from getting tossed overboard during the coming storm.

Great time to start an ai company though, if you can get financing. If you’d like to fund me, I have video game related ideas I’d pursue if I could ^^
There's no excuse to tolerate bad behavior. It's like an abusive relationship. When such a situation happens, you should start thinking of an exit plan ASAP.
I saw a trick to increase the output by putting the text like “page 1 of 10” right at the end of the prompt

Then to keep going type “page 2 of 10” and the AI will keep it going
I totally believe you that Copilot is useful, my contention is that it is useful in the same sense that stackoverflow is useful.

No developer is competing with stackoverflow. These tools are enabling developers to quickly generate code for certain problems, which works especially well for boilerplate. But this isn't actually the main skill of a programmer, it is just some mechanical neccesity to writing software.

Much of what developers do is modifying existing code, fixing bugs, designing architecture and solving novel problems. If an AI could reliably do any of these tasks jobs would be endangered, but certainly that is not the case yet and AI would have to come quite a far way before that.
I remember playing FPS game called Enemy Territory as teenager and after awhile whenever I was in 1v1 shoot out with one of my “clan” members I knew who it was based on their movement.
Whataboutism is the derailment of discussion by roping in irrelevant subjects. Saying "that's off-topic" is not a personal attack.
With this family, and the mother being a radical on the left disbursing hundreds of millions of dollars through non-profits, I have to wonder if everyone knows they are corrupt and are getting ahead of the game.

My money is SBF learned from his family that the ends justify the means, and that there are skeletons in the closet of the mother that are open secrets.

I started https://www.tryethernal.com which is pretty niche (developer tooling for blockchain developers). I needed this tool when I got into Solidity development, and after a few hours of googling something like that, I couldn't believe it didn't already exist, so I built it.
>> Crypto, ML, Data, Quantum Computing

> I think the key is to focus and prioritize

I think prioritizing is the key. Part of that is figuring out

What is past its prime (Cobol on punch cards), or never really had its day in the sun at all.

What is dull but you can make money with, which will probably be around in some form five years from now too (backend programming of micro-services with a popular JVM language)

What exciting things are coming into being now which might have some jobs or interesting applications now, or perhaps a lot more in a few years (training and using deep learning models).

Crypto nowadays is mostly a scam which began unwinding over a year ago. Probably best to ignore it, its day is past.

Quantum computing is interesting but it's such early days that you can put off reading about it this year if you're overwhelmed.

ML and big data have had a lot of interesting applications this year. GPT, Stable Diffusion, DALL-E. I can do some pretty cool things on my workstation with Stable Diffusion that was not able to do five months ago. If you have time to look into something new this would be it.

As I said, there's modern but dull and not much new innovation things, which there is steady work and money in like React front end programming, or JVM Microservice backend programming, or whatever. There are also things like deep learning which are going from innovation to innovation, which is exciting and may open up a whole new field (Stability AI just got $100 million in funding, although things are so new, they only started putting their hiring team together last month - they're mainly recruiting recruiters right now).
This will seem unrelated, but I’ve often heard people complain about going to the gym: “I hate going to the gym because everyone else is so beautiful and I’m out of shape”. But distorts the reality that most people don’t go to the gym. And the people at the gym the most are the ones that mostly build their lives around it.

So following the HN community too closely can stir feelings of insecurity and inferiority and the imposter syndrome. And yeah, I feel it sometimes, too. :-)
But they wanted to. Billy G was still hovering around pouring cold water on some really stupid ideas. He finally relented on getting rid of the start menu and that turned out to be a total disaster.
Yeah... for some reason developers think that the higher position/salary requires them to put forward more complicated solution. Nothing further from the truth.

My goal in life is to learn so that I can engineer systems and write code that is as simple as possible. It takes a bit of courage to put forward code that looks like everybody could write it -- which is exactly the point of getting more mature in software development.

One problem I always had is that managers seem to reward people for how complicated projects they are working on rather than reward for putting in effort into making things simple. This makes a bit of conflict of interest but I personally resolved to do what is right and feel good with myself rather than to play the silly game of who can overcomplicate the project the most and still get away with it. Half the time the benefits of my approach become apparent after some time with the project -- the other half I don't get enough time or get a manager who doesn't want to understand where the productivity comes from.
> If you run a simulation of the universe, beginning with very simple, random initial conditions, and then run physics forward for 13 billion years,

This is actually exactly wrong. If you run LCDM for 13 billion years you don't get galaxies till much later than what we observe via say JWST. However, with MOND you predict early galaxies due to the higher force of gravity at distances causing earlier collapse.
There is an ISO standard for date formatting. Go ignores it, which makes interop problematic. We do get RFC3339 support, as well as a few others, but if ISO dates are being used in data being read by a Go program it’s a huge headache to ensure it will be correct using the standard library. There’s no real debate here, it was a design mistake and admitted as such.
I ran a successful web agency and only focused on WordPress, Ruby and vanilla JS. It’s possible to ignore 99% of technology and just focus on the 1% that adds value to the problems you’re interested in.

I would dabble in many other domains like AI, blockchain, other languages, etc. to test out their effectiveness, but the best advice I have is to focus on your problem first and then find a technical solution that solves that problem. If you start with the technology first and then go looking for a problem, it’s not as effective IMO.
That’s a good point. Maybe you should be able to type “1e20” in scientific mode? It would make the calculator more feature full and prevent “losing” data if you copy/paste in the middle of a long calculation.
For the heating BHKWs (Blockheizkrafwerke) of many cities in Germany it's still cheaper to run on gas than switch to burning oil. Since the communal industry are legally structured as companies, the mayors aren't allowed by law to switch to oil if it is more expensive, even though it could ease the shortage.

In Poland, coal prices absolutely skyrocketed because Russian coal isn't available anymore & consumers directly interfer with the market.

Relatively, Gas is still cheap. If people all would switch to electric heating quickly, electrity prices would go up proportionally because we would need to buy more form neighbouring countries in close-border regions to keep the network stable.

It also depends on the degree of trust your community has with law enforcement.

Small town where you know the cops by name? Sure.

I’m sure physicists have already thought about this but…

Has anyone considered modeling the effect currently explained via dark matter as a new kind of force or field? Like a distinct force generated by mass and its relationship to space time?

This wouldn’t be modified gravity but a proposal for an entirely new force whose effect is what we currently explain with the “fudge factor” of dark matter.

From the rough picture I do have of dark matter this force would be one whose relationship to distance is different from the usual inverse square law that governs forces. That would be weird but maybe no weirder than particles that can never be detected or MOND.

And, importantly (which you imply, but I feel needs stating outright), this car-roof solar does not have to be the sole source of charging. It can be a convenient (and energy-efficient) supplement to whatever other charging options we can make work.
For "corporate" accounts, isn't PIV better, since it works with more than web (like Kerberos without contortions) and lives on your id card fairly readily?
Be cautious, the word "envy" is typically thrown around by folks that want to justify "greed". OC, there are reasonable scales between the two but equating success to having nicer material things is really a subjective value judgement.

In all honesty the salient points in the OP about judging instead of thinking, is a commonly attributed aphorism to Carl Jung yet there is no reference to it. The point about tardiness and drawbacks this apparently has on socialising and career progression comes across as utilitarian to the point of sounding sociopathic.
Like I alluded to, some low-cost consumer products that aren't really meant to last forever (like a laundry basket) would be good candidates for bioplastics (some of which do fine with water).
I bought this year because the new camera system was getting great reviews (iPhone). I’ve a couple very young kids and most of the photos/videos end up being taken on the phone, and the years go quick, so happy to pay to capture those moments a little better before they’re gone.

The CPU speed bumps or other minor improvements? Yeah, probably not worth another $1000.
Thanks!

Describing that as "2% more" instead of "20% more" is a bit misleading when comparing just two items.
Personalized chatGPT + Boston Dynamics collaboration in creating best friends who can talk about anything
The article/study talked about the battery thing and said it was an impractical solution for the projected scale (peak demand times + for all trucks traveling down highways * 71 charging stations) and this will have to require direct involvement with grid infrastructure.

> A growing number of EV-charging sites are adding batteries that can store up grid power at times when chargers are sitting idle and provide it when charging loads exceed available grid capacity, he noted. But that’s far from “the most optimized solution,” he said, particularly as loads grow to multi-megawatt scale.
Between the adds infiltrating every part of the os and the arbitrary decision to not allow my computer to run windows 11 (no TPM, though it is plenty fast) I have had enough. I've daily driving Linux for 7-8 years with only occasional windows use. There are certainly some rough edges with Linux, but it is perfectly workable.
i suspect so.

i can't offer any kind of expert advice just personal experience from occasionally resistance banding over the last few months and years - a good amount more recently.

it's kind of awesome.

i currently have a grey band (light) and red band (heavy) from SPRI - prob got at target:

https://www.spri.com/

i do curls and shoulders with the grey/light, and just hooked up the red/heavy band into a door frame using the shipped-with door jam holder thing and use that to do back pull thingies - this is new for me and amazing, esp as i have upper back trouble occasionally that is debilitating, and it usually flares up every few months because i have _not_ been doing my back strengthening exercises -- like wall angels (physical therapy stuff), etc. origin injury from lifting a couple of suitcases 30 years ago.

in theory you can do a bunch of other stuff but i mainly use them to do these real basics.

i did just buy a $99 dip/pushup multi-use thing from amazon to do pushups and....well, dips ain't happening anytime soon - not strong enough. hasn't arrived yet. not sure if i'll use it or not.

i have a 'pushup platform' piece of gym equipment i've been wanting to prototype for 100 years, but no luck there yet. i tried doing incline pushups by leaning against my countertop, but eh - don't like it for various reasons. and floor pushups are not my thing anymore. i don't want to do the 1,000+/day i used to do in college - just enough.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09MSX7ZBT?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_...

the bands are awesome-ish for a few reasons:

- they're just there, so you can just use them whenever you want.
- i've thought about setting a 15- or 30-min timer, but no need yet.
- they can offer resistance thru a full range of motion, unlike dumbbells (?)
- they're super-portable
- i've brought them on trips but never use them - but i could
- they have different 'weights'/resistances, and color-coded, so easy to use
- you can learn some basic exercises
- you can gain confidence in staying fit-ish for longer into aging
- you can prob help battle metabolic syndrome/diabetes at least a little
- you can spot-strengthen easily when some body part is feeling weak
- it prob makes a diff in how you physically appear
- there's def at least some strength and muscle gain
- you can usually go heavier and/or lighter for whatever you need

main caution i would offer to anyone 30+ is start low/slow - low resistance/weight - b/c you can do like me, grab some decent-sized dumbbells, go to town, then end up with bicpes tendinitis for years. :)

What’s the point of learning proper English when chatgpt can do your homework…
Honest question: have you used it? Because if you did, you'd see its leaps and bounds better than clicking on a handful of links, scanning through verbose and poorly written answers in Stack Overflow, until you find the right one.

It doesn't replace SO, but it certainly complements it. Plus, it acts more like an assistant (and, per OP's post, "...who is often wrong - need to read their work thoroughly").

Example of the type of conversation that would take you ages on SO:

I'd say in UK heat pumps are only just down to affordability domestically. If capital is cheap for you then perhaps they've been affordable much longer, but baseline costs are only recently noticeably low enough for me to consider it ... possibly when I look next time it'll be out of reach again given the weak pound and massive cost of living increase.

I'm hoping to get a heat pump next Summer.

Maybe take the cafes to EU or NL only and move sex work into brothels not window girls?

I only tried the weed, and my walking tour in the red light district was more about learning about how to balance certain things with the need to avoid human trafficking… but speaking as an American I’d go back just for the museums and parks. I enjoyed AMS more than several other cities on the days I wasn’t doing the things I put off earlier in my 20s.

And sorry to generalize based on one city. We don’t get much PTO so I quickly moved on to major cities via train after a couple days in a hostel since I was concerned what AirBNB does to rents and by what they tolerate from guests.

(Drives up rents, drives out well managed hostels like the one I lived in in Kreuzberg)

Bitcoin was created partly as a reaction to public funding of private cronies (see the genesis block coinbase). If the national currency is debased like this, at the expense of the general public, clearly the government is not doing its job.

Bitcoin makes it so that the supply is well-known in advance, and only the owners can spend the currency.

Cool project. Are you not worried that this type of misuse of Spotify has the potential to wreck the platform in an era where everything is monetized to the detriment of the end user?

People have grown up around Windows. The problems for the most part don’t change over time, so people have gotten used to them and have developed their own tried and true ways of doing something that sidesteps the problems they had.

Switching to Linux brings with it a whole new swath of problems and fixes Windows problems so not only are users seeing new issues, their workarounds now have to be worked around because whatever was wrong in Windows works in Linux. Add to that the fact that most Linux users are power users and instructions therefore lean towards that, and you’ve got a problem that also seems insurmountable to solve.

It’s the classic boiling frog dilemma. Windows has just had decades of heating water to get to where we are.
