It constrains the freedom of corporations, which is far more important to the Republican party than freedom of individuals.
real downside: many things work poorly on gfci stuff. E.g. A miter saw or welder. I had AFCI/GFCI breakers in my garage per code, but essentially no power tools work with those kinds of circuits.
I think changing interest rates can easily (and often do) cause a fundamental shift of financials.

If I have a company that will lose 100 units of currency this year and next year, break even the year after that, and then return 20 units of currency for each of the next 17 years, then vanish without a trace, that's worth positive 46 units of currency at a 3% discount, nothing at a 5% discount, and negative 37 units of currency at a 7% discount rate. (Whether you discount the initial losses changes the analysis by only a small amount.)
I despise this idea that a word can't be "real" unless it is accepted in some "official" form (which has now spread to include websites of slang, etc...)

Even if "heaviosity" is totally made up on the spot and never before uttered, its meaning is clear - and conveying meaning with utterances is the point of language.
I haven't figured out the sauce for this. It is definitely possible, but is not easily reproducible reliably.
If I overdid it, I'm sorry. I promise it wasn't intentional. My comment was spur-of-the-moment, motivated by sincere gratitude :-)
Yep! You are 100% correct. But good luck with this crowd. HN is all over the place with the gender != sex discussion.
Where are you from that have apprenticeship?
I am from Switzerland and this is a common career choice with 16 to do 4 years and be a certified technicians.

But as others have mentioned in other comments: Working for a company taking a big cut to install cables at peoples home with all the weirdness (smelly place, not at home, unfriendly, wrong description/tool) is not for me. I would suggest going straight with the goal to create a company asap and build an empire.
> A different two things can also be true

You list the same two things I did..?
But the instructions do list who is eligible to be claimed as a dependent, and son and daughter are the only listed options for your direct children. If you wanted to be pedantic and say that your child is not a son or daughter, then they would fall under "Any other person (other than your spouse) who lived with you all year as a member of your household if your relationship didn't violate local law" and you would only be able to claim the "Credit for other dependents", and not the "Child tax credit".
Oh, my bad. Sorry. I meant to say sexes. For hormone therapy the gender matters! :D
> I wish that our building codes and permitting system had provisions for "competent amateurs", but how on earth would you do that?

What does this mean? Any “amateur” is allowed to do the work anytime they want (on their own home), and anyone can apply for a permit. They just have to pass the same inspection as everyone else. I do not see why the code (rules) would be different though, the principles of electricity and safety do not change.
I don't know where you live but in my state (TN) most of the residential heating is electric already in my area. If the gas was turned off, the local coop wouldn't have any issues whatsoever meeting the demand.
You're describing part of a tax-management strategy: sell bonds in the US, secured by cash in an offshore tax haven (e.g., Ireland), use the proceeds to return cash to shareholders, pay the bond coupons out of cash flow, and write off the interest payments. It has everything to do with the pile of cash when it's cheaper to use debt secured by the cash than to pay taxes to repatriate the cash. If worse comes to worst, the cash is still there to make bond-holders whole.
I'm confused why it matters how you're referred to in the third person. I'm not trying to be snarky: but you're not there if you're being talked about in the third person (like a police report or a newspaper article), and if you're there, they will use the English "you" which is gender neutral.
CPU slower than 4 as said, but even Jetson Nano is slower that the mad performance per watt of the 4.

BUT the GPU is apparently better which would make this THE SBC.

I will test my 3D MMO engine and give exactly what is what once I receive mine, should be a couple of days.

The Raspberry GPU has a serious cache problem, it can't render a triangle at 60FPS in 1080p!!!

But 100 non-instanced animated characters (each with a unique weapon in hand) at 60FPS and low res (800x600).

Jetson (1/2 Nintendo Switch GPU) does 300 at 60 FPS in 1080p.

If the Visionfive 2 is either:

- 100+ at 60 FPS and 1080p
- 200+ at 60 FPS and 800x600

I'm going ALL IN on Risc-V (my own VM for scripting the engine) and StarFive (buy a few to use as demo for the MMO instead of Raspberry 4/Jetson Nano).
“I have a Dream” was delivered to an audience of a quarter million and televised to millions more and has continued to be a cornerstone of public school education at least where I grew up where we would listen to the audio and later stream the video. That’s the breakthrough hit.

We don’t treasure everything even about the people we like. MLK was a man, and therefore it is safe to assume a complicated person who developed and changed his beliefs a lot throughout his life. When he seized the opportunity to deliver a speech to the nation, it wasn’t “Letter from Birmingham Jail” and it wasn’t sympathy for rioters, it was “I Have a Dream”.

Except that implies the context has rotted, when in fact the context is fresher than the system within it. While the context may have degraded in some way, the reality is that it's changed according to forces that have acted on it since the code within it was written and deployed. What's rotted is the ability of the system to meaningfully and correctly interact with the context.
> Even your Level 5 domain is dubious as I've written before. Jim would drive in a blizzard, some Level 5 car refuses to drive in a blizzard. Is the car faulty by this definition or is Jim a lunatic ? I think it's probably Jim.

I would put it up to the "reasonable person" test. I'm not sure what's dubious about the fact that "human level" doesn't and can't mean you're a perfect match to every human.

> I think Level 4 is clearer because it's closer to public transit.

I don't know if it's clearer in the general case. Basically any set of operating restrictions that is sub-human counts as level 4, and you could have a detailed and nuanced list of operating restrictions on level 4 that's just as complicated or more complicated than a level 5 setup.
I don't think you understand the position Microsoft is in.

First, Candy Crush was never preinstalled. A link to purchase it in the Microsoft store was preinstalled, and it took all of two clicks to get rid of it if you wanted to.

Second, preinstalling that link reduced malware infections of windows systems by a visible percentage worldwide.

Microsoft has a duty to protect users who need it. Finding a compromise where the worst case for other users is that they need to click twice is pretty good.
I see a couple of issues with this idea (IANAP):

1. There is variance in matter distribution. If fusion created or expanded space I would assume there'd be a measurable variance in the wavelength of the cosmic microwave background;

2. The initial phase of the Universe was a massive period of inflation. This was before atoms could exist (and thus fuse) so to be consistent this would have to be a different mechanism;

3. The energy released by fusing light nuclei comes the nuclear binding energy (ie the strong interaction). So the nuclear binding energy of a helium atom is less than twice the nuclear binding energy of two hydrogen atoms. As you note, this goes as far as iron because this pattern is no longer true (ie the heavier fused element has more binding energy than the two lighter elements combined). I believe this particular conservation is "solved" or at least consistent with established theory, specifically QCD.

4. Fusion in stars is highly localized. Think of the volume of the Sun compared to the volume of every point in space to which the Sun was the closest star (ie approximately 2 light years in radius). It is astronomically small. To may layman's intuition it seems like this would be measurable in some way.

We know spacetime curves (based on the energy and mass present). We have detected the compression of space (ie gravity waves). We also know there is a minimum distance between objects (ie the Planck length) but (AFAIK) space isn't discrete as that might suggest.

There are huge gaps in our understanding of any of this.
This is empty for me.

You don’t need to predict the future. The fair value of a company is the discounted future cash flows. Increase the discount rate and the valuation falls
welp time for the pig to talk about reality.

#1, you are spot on, with the free money, and ZIRP, it has created 1000s of zombie companies are a live because they have access to the money. There are two valuations to consider when talking about this bubble.

a. Companies that make zero $$$ or near to it, and worth billions. Those are the ones that are going to be worthless after the bubble pops.
b. Companies that make money, just not enough to be profitable. There are few out there, but they are ones that will get effected the most. Some have valuations that should be significantly higher, but not.
c. Companies that producing $$$ and can cover expenses. PE ratios are out of sync, they are too high for what EPS they give.

What is going to happen? If the ZIRP doesn't come back or too late, you are going to see a lot of money and zombie companies get hurt hard. I think this is necessary, so good companies can transverse to a correct risk vs reward.

The biggest problem people living in the west, US, is the multipolar world is coming. US is not prepared for it, and if anything, resisting. Imagine 50% of the world rejecting the USD. It is not far off. US is now 59% of all global trade. Getting below 50% will have devastating effects. Inflation as you see it now, will be hyperinflation. The world is going multipolar, and US is not prepared.
If you're only using pre-trained models, it's going to be harder to differentiate yourself. Training / specialization of models is where the moat-building is (due to access to different data sets / better ideas). By specializing / training, more of the token limit can be used for generation rather than prompting / better prompts can be made.

The lower the cost of training, the more profitable any resultant business. You can even envision businesses that train the model regularly to bring in new knowledge. The cheaper this is, the more opportunities open up.
Working Programmatically
The domestic production problems/advancement have almost nothing to do with the ease of production itself. The costs still tend to be high because of the high overhead and cost of living. Unless you have huge scale (at which point other manufacturing methods may be more economical) or do it as a side hobby, you have to charge a lot. For a hobbyist, most equipment would be too expensive and take up a lot of room if only using it for a couple projects.
Appreciate the work to make GPT training accessible!

Do you leave hyperparams (like learning rate, batch size) the same when switching from 8xA100 to fewer GPUs, or do these need to be adjusted?

Separately, when going from 8xA100 GPU to a single A100 GPU, in the worst case we can expect the same model performance after training 8x as long correct? (And likely a bit better because we get more gradient updates in with smaller batch size)
When it comes to board game theming, I agree, and I particularly like that they took the theme here too. It takes the drier, more serious Roman Elections and makes it more fun and fantastic.

I do think you lose the historical context on some of these, but I'm not sure board games are really the medium with which to educate history, especially if it means normalizing or reinforcing social norms that shouldn't be.
That’s a bold statement. Having raised a child here, I’m wondering why you think SF is the most anti-child city.
I was commenting mostly in jest anyway.

The purpose of the standard is to give a numeric code which is language agnostic, for internationalization of forms and software.

Adding other genders isn't really applicable, since there's no common meaning or terminology across languages. M and F are universally recognized because they're grounded in reality: Every language in the world has a term for them.
We at AirGradient market both, a commercial (closed-source) air quality monitor as well as a commercial open software / open hardware one (monetized through selling kits [1]).

Unlike the article might indirectly imply, I see little difference in the key characteristics that determine effective marketing.

Both product types need a clear and consistent messaging, both need to build an audience, both need to bring value to the customer, both need to be transparent about the pricing, both need to be clear how they handle data, both need to provide great support etc.

Where I see a potential difference is in the customer type. Some of our customers prefer the open source version because it easy to make changes on the hardware as well as the software. However this also often means a little bit more work to get it up and running. Whereas other customers actually prefer the closed source product as it is bascially plug and play.

What I personally do like with having both products and dealing with both types of customers, is that it gives the chance to "market" the open source version to customers that often have not considered this route in the past but actually provides them with the better fit and better value.

Germany's main requirement is that you have insufficient open positions in the company (not just same roles - no open positions at all, the company is obligated to train), and that you follow "social selection", taking into account "tenure, age, family responsibilities, severe disability". High performance can be justification to keep someone despite meeting the social selection criteria for termination, but low performance cannot generally be a reason for inclusion in the list of terminations.

If you are legitimately downsizing it is pretty easy. If you are trying to use "layoffs" as cover to cut the bottom x% of performers, you'll hit trouble.

We haven't focused on making the editor mobile friendly as most diagrams are too complex for such a small screen - hence why it sucks on mobile. I'm sure it's something we could improve later on as an "on the go" mode, but for now it's not been a priority. Is there a use case to use this on a phone?
Congratulations on the 2.0 launch! This looks interesting. We’re considering something like this internally. Could you talk a bit about the differences - if any - between the self-hosted version and the hosted version, and what the plan is with respect to feature parity going forward?
IRS tax forms by themselves, without referring to the accompanying instructions, are not meant to be (and usually are not) comprehensive.
Take a woodworking class at your community college.

Focus on the serious fundamentals first. I mean like how to hammer a nail into a thing, how to screw things together. Learn the difference between nut+bolt, Truss Head screws, and pan-head screws. Learn when to use each of these things.

Visit Home Depot. Build a damn coffee table.

Focus on the fundamentals. CNC Mill comes after all this IMO on the hierarchy of knowledge. You really should be extremely familiar with fasteners (Glue vs Nuts+Bolts vs Screws vs Nails) before you start designing things that get glued/screwed/snapped together.

--------------

Most things are left unsaid because just building a damn coffee table (or similarly simple / small object) is everything you need to know about beginner level mechanical engineering.

Finding a class (community college) with this basic level of skills really is the bulk of it. Once you've accomplished the basics, it becomes obvious how to use a CNC Mill or 3d printer or whatever these electronic tools are.
Instead of implying an argumentative fallacy has occurred—I don't see it—why not present your own points in a counterargument?

I've also been a happy user of Windmill.dev. I guess ToolJet has more of a low-code focus with their drag and drop builder, while Windmill is more focused on developers who want to turn their scripts into production workflows.

Very excited to see all these open-source projects take off in the internal tooling space. I regret how much time I spent building custom DIY tooling at previous jobs!

It’s a skin color, and in the US all these questions are really trying to ask that.

If your father is from Ireland, but you are dark skinned then you will suffer the same prejudices and abuses as anyone or your skin color. If your father is Kenyan and you are light skinned, you will smoothly fit in with the “white majority” without anyone digging into your history.

The context of US race questions is to counter US racism. Logical etymology doesn’t really apply.
Incidentally, this is how we plan to make darklang's UI work in the future (see https://roadmap.darklang.com/editor/canvas.html for the similar-ish image).
No, he's right.

It's not about having 400 amps per se but about sizing the wire you put in the ground. Maybe you'll have a 200a main breaker and you'll only ever use 200 amps, etc. - but the hard part was digging and future you or other future yous will be happy that the wire was upsized when it was put in.

Same with conduit. Same with number of conduits.

I can't tell you how many times I have been very pleased with myself that I threw in that extra 3/4 conduit line when we dug that one trench that one time ...

Most glitches are localized, or there's backup systems, or you can fall back to manual human processes.

If pilots/dispatchers can't get current NOTAMs, the aircraft can't safely depart - especially if they're flying IFR. There's no way around it.

(One could argue about whether it's legal for general aviation traffic to depart VFR - the regs say you need "all available information", and the information isn't available. But that's arguing semantics.)

There was a NOTAM outage about a year ago where Leidos' (the Flight Service contractor in the lower 48) computer system failed and prevented entering new notices, but as a backup they were able to call Alaska FSS on the phone. Since Alaska's FSS is still run by the federal government and used a different computer system, their system was still online.

But in this case the outage is on the FAA's (upstream) side.

I'm quite surprised but how large and extensive this guide is.

As someone who learned to drive in Europe I've always been extremely confused by the signage and road layout of American roads. There is a pretty big difference in quality between state roads and federal roads. The former seem to have no coherent style, layout or identity while the latter seem pretty consistent. Given the above documents I can see there is a consistent style but the style does not seem to translate to a consistent user experience.

The three things that stand out to me are the amount of text on each sign, the lack of standardized rule about entries and exists, and the lack of road markings, specially at intersections.

The first one isn't necessarily a big problem but it's very weird to have all this text when you could have instead a very recognizable sign that you can understand from afar (the one way sign is a great example), instead of a white sign with black text that you can only read once you're close to it and only understand if you know English.

The second one makes highway layout extremely confusing and, at least for me, feel dangerous and stressful. Some Signs can tell you to take an exit with make 20m of notice and it's a 90° right turn and you also need to go from 120 kmph to 30 in that span. The reduced speed sign is only visible after you've turned so if you dont know the area you're almost always going too fast. Because it's a 90° turn with trees in the sides you can't anticipate what the traffic is like after the turn. If you know the area you probably have no problem handling this situation, but driving there for the first time feels like driving through a minefield. There are other instances of this with left exits, overtaking from both sides, turn right on red, stop sights everywhere, no priority system, and more.

The last one is incredibly frustrating when you come from Europe because over there, most intersections have redundant signage and markings. Intersections have street lights that tell you where to go, the road layout is advertised on a sign well in advance, and the paint on the road tells you how to turn and where to stop and even indicates speed limits or directions. Intersections in americas provide no such affordances. Intersections are basically a free for all between the incoming trafic, the people turning right on red and the pedestrians. I was expecting a lot more from a country which is built for cars.

It feels like roads are built for cars but not for drivers.
Nah, reverse racism should be called "individual cases of racial bias". Because that's all that it amounts to.

There is no systemic "ism" that is discriminating against white people.
