Electric heating, man. 800£ is still a lot but I think my 2-person 60m^2 flat is doing about 200£/month in electric with only 3/5 heaters turned on (our bedrooms + lounge). With just these three heaters on it's about 40kWh a day mostly in heating (everything else uses almost nothing).

I can imagine a family with kids where you want the house to be heated all over + much more cooking/washing machine use and you could get to the £500-700 range, but 800 is still definitely a lot.

It's such a cool place here. I just wish Brits would fix their political/cultural problems. They like doing things "the good old way" too much hence political parties cater to those people. Gov should have been looking at this energy crisis thing 20 years ago; it was obvious as all hell. They went all in on gas like the scumbags they are, yeah it'll never run out. Sure.
Re: TFA's complaints of blandness, and the several comments here about the narrator not being Watson, I'm always confused by how people expect ChatGPT to follow constraints it wasn't given.

I guess it's a testament to how good the engine is, that people humanize it this way. When Excel calculates a value, people normally assume that its math is correct and if the value looks wrong they need to change their inputs. But ChatGPT seems to cross over some kind of threshold, such that people ask it for a poem and then consider it a failure mode if the output doesn't rhyme - instead of thinking "oh maybe I should have asked for a poem that rhymes".

I'm curious whether this is a temporary thing everyone will stop doing as they acclimate to AIs, or a fundamental issue with natural language interfaces.
What magic world do you think we live in? Everything leaks at all times.

And when discussing policy and things at scale, you factor in the total picture where 80% of the individual examples will be one or more of: damaged, installed wrong, 35 years old, used incorrectly, cheaply designed, cheaply made, etc etc, not the perfect ideal lab example.

To be clear, I am firmly in the 'keep gas stoves' camp because they simply work the best for that job, the alternatives are not actually alternatives, and I don't think any of these articles actually show that they are harmful, or at least stand out from any other source of of stuff in the air.

But of course they leak. That isn't even remotely a remarkable claim. 'off' in the real world only ever means 'mostly off'.
AWS Session Manager is great. However, to connect to an RDS/Aurora/Elasticache instance, you must still create an intermediate EC2 instance to run SSM commands against.

We use Basti (https://github.com/BohdanPetryshyn/basti/issues) to set up and manage the jump host. The tool automatically starts/stops the instance, which is excellent for irregular access.
A gimmick. It's wireless but requires zero distance from the charger. It takes longer to charge. The device becomes hot. Inefficient. Requires a level surface and exact alignment to work. Makes the device difficult to use while charging. Need a charger for every device to charge simultaneously.

I can't find a single reason to use it over a cable.

> I want to know if there's any genetics involved with cavities.

There very much is. I've got decent dental hygiene but at 32 virtually no intact tooth and 7 implants. All my family on my mother's side is the same. The general opinion of the dentists I've seen is that I've just inherited fragile enamel.
How do you know what all the other states in the chart are and how they are connected?
They are probably already using something like GCS to store the data at the cache nodes.

I was not talking about how the nodes store data, but about a central cache. Purely architecture wise, it doesn't make sense to introduce a central storage that just mirrors Sourcehut (and all other Git repositories). Sourcehut is already that central storage. You would just create a detour.

It's also not an easy problem. If the cache nodes try to synchronize writes to the central cache, you are effectively linearizing the problem. Then you might as well just have the one central cache access Sourcehut etc. directly. But then of course you lose total throughput.

I guess the technically "correct" solution would be to put the cache right in front of the Sourcehut server.
I kinda think the functionality has been replaced, maybe reduced to e-ink displays? The contrast, the adjacent simplicity and focus involved with having one job of simply displaying textual information?

Now, amber e-ink displays, that would be really interesting to see :)
I'm no authority either, but I've worked in the field of metabolic health for a couple of years and read a few dozen studies and books on the topic.

You're pretty much correct:

The most relevant contraindication for any kind of fasting are eating disorders like anorexia. Also, don't try out fasting if you're taking metabolism related medication without consulting with your doctor.

A lot of research suggests that most lifestyle diseases that are prevalent in the developed world (like obesity, diabetes, heart attack, even some types of cancer and possibly also neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimers) can be prevented and sometimes treated with a dietary intervention.

The optimal diet seems to be whole foods and mostly plant-based (though some people seem to thrive on meat) with occasional fasting periods.

It makes a lot of sense from an evolutionary perspective: Our ancestors didn't have all that sugary and industrially processed food and often spend extended periods fasting and searching/hunting for food. Processed foods highjack our preference for calorie rich, sweet and savory food but are often deficient in nutrients.
Another very famous incident is the Gimli Glider which was also a result -- as almost all of these are -- of quite a string of issues, including, astonishingly, the mixup of imperial and metric units. The report on the accident found fault with Air Canada procedures, training, and manuals. Everything else was, I guess, peachy :P
That looks cool but I fundamentally hate yaml so it’s a no go.

I would rather lose my hair screwing with a makefile like thing than add more yaml to my day to day; I currently say “I hate yaml” at least 4 times a day.

If it’s not too much trouble and I don’t need comments I just write json as yaml.
Not practical as in we cannot expect everyone to adopt those values. Yes, I find bicycles practical. I don't find what is implemented as bike infrastructure practical. Even if we hit the ideal of bike infra, I doubt people would bother to use it.

For every post that says they cannot become a cyclist due to too much rain, or too much sun - re-read the post. They would like to adhere to a green ideal and pay lip service, but they will never ride to the store to buy a liter of milk. If we are being honest, they don't want to ride at all. They just want to say the politically correct thing.

Similarly, they might say they would like to use public transport, but have excuses. What satisfies their preferences is a high end electric vehicle. It signals green values and social status. A bicycle signals poverty. I'm not defending these social norms, but observing the status quo.

I find half-baked bicycling infrastructure worse than just using a road. I find that many people opine for bike infra, but they are just using the lack of infrastructure as an excuse. Much like, "I would quit smoking, but I'd have to wait until next month because I have too much stress this week" These people cannot be appeased.

The result is often impractical infrastructure built by people who see bicycling very differently. The ideal of overpasses for every crossing isn't economically possible for most areas. Instead a linear park is built. The bike trail has crossings at every block, away from the main intersection. The trail itself is clogged with baby strollers or in-line skaters. You'd be better off riding along the road.

The best examples of a bike trail in the US are often found along a river where bridges already exist.

Before spending on infrastructure, it may make more sense to address some of those cultural norms. People may use safety as an excuse, but take that excuse away and they'll find another. The reality is that bicycling on streets isn't unsafe. I'd wager that it is safer than driving cars on highways.

You can centrally plan infrastructure, but culture grows organically. It doesn't mean that bicycles are impractical, but that the top-down approach is hamfisted at best. You cannot take a specific set of circumstances in a single geographic region and extrapolate it onto the world.
I'm not sure of the mechanics but I think GPT can be fine tuned to get something more in line with the actual texts

https://beta.openai.com/docs/guides/fine-tuning

While we're here, does anybody know? Apparently GPT is fine tuned by sending it data like:

In the US, you are supposed to pay taxes on any profit, even if you don't get actual cash on it. Prizes from The Price is Right? You gotta have the cash for taxes.

If illegal gains aren't exempt, I don't see a reason to exempt crypto. If you can't afford the tax, don't buy. (FWIW, they don't give you the price is right prizes unless you have cash upfront. Not getting the prize is you being poor or being tricked. I view crypto similarly.)
If you can shorten the URL, sure. But if data stored in the URL means it needs to be incredibly long, I don't think most users care whether it's readable or not. Of course, at a certain length, it's worth reconsidering whether storing all the data in the URL is a good idea.
Why not have two names? Canonical (descriptive) and a code name for referring.

Hi! Galmon guy here. This has only once been a problem, someone with a modified firmware, and that produced some exceedingly strange data. In the galmon design, which is quite neat if I say so myself, data is stored per source. If any data is bad, we can throw it out. If someone would really want to mess with us they could of course. But we're probably niche enough that people don't bother.

This [1] (factored by press release PR) is a sincere effort to use renewable energy to produce scalable amounts of hydrogen product (eg: Ammonia), whereas other (sorry pressed for time ATM, (TODO backfill a link)) companies are loudly producing Hydrogen but quietly doing so as a by-product of fossil fuel extraction (ie. no net climate benefit).

My first memory of going to a dentist was the school dentist (in the Netherlands); they said I had a cavity. I was small so I started shouting (when a needle came out) that I wanted my mother; she came and told them to keep their hands off of me. Our family dentist (an uncle) said I have no cavities and don't go to other dentists if I value my teeth. 43 years later I have 0 cavities while dentists in several countries and locations told me I have. I always get at least 2 opinions since that first experience. Luckily I had a total of 3 dentists in my family but they are retired now.

Think a good one (multiple people said it) is getting a cleaning; they will see if there are cavities but have no financial incentive to make them up and start drilling.
ah, that's very cool. Makes me think of all kinds of NATO-level shit that's strewn around the world waiting to be uncovered ;)

The thing with the road in Uruguay is that as you're driving, there's basically a yellow sign with a picture of an airplane and an arrow pointing up, and you're like "what the fuck did that mean?" And then suddenly you understand exactly what it meant because you're driving on a fucking runway...

I work professionally with Go and I follow news about V, yes. Also I'm interested in discussions involving Zig and V because even though there is an overlap of the design goals of the languages (e.g. zero-cost interoperability with C, high performance), there aren't many comparisons between them online.

My advice is listen to the criticism of Zig to improve the language instead of making throwaway accounts to accuse people.

> The human brain is, after all, a computer operating on input in the form of experience and biology.

That is just a widespread analogy we use. The human brain is not a computer, although obviously some aspects of its function resemble the logical / mathematical model of a computer, which (I gently remind you) is a construction of the brain itself.

> it seems plausible that there's a future where such a distinction is either not meaningful, or perhaps even skewed against humanity.

I would not dispute that at all. The future of humanity is hopefully long and full of wondrous discoveries but arguing that we are "close" to "real AI" flies in the face of what is actually achieved on the ground with current approaches: clever utilization (where the one who is clever is the human) of rather limited algorithms to re-use productively the vast body of human generated information corpus.

Not a useless exercise by any measure, but the mantle under which it is sold does not augur well for the sustainability of those efforts.
> can't even count the number of possible ways you can commit a crime

This strikes me as a bizarre thing to say and I'm curious what meaning you ascribe to this statement.

What would be the value of counting such a thing? Why would you want your tax dollars spent on such a task?
Yes, this is exactly the case. The reason for this is that fillings can't be made super-small, and you always need to grind some healthy tooth tissue for the filling to bind. So, a dentist needs to decide if the decay has gone far enough to make it worth the loss of healthy tooth issue for the filling.

Also, dentist treatment recommendations always include a part of expectations management. E.g. if your dentist believes that you wouldn't want to pay extra for a crown, it is more likely they will outright recommend an oversized filling instead.

So, it is important to be explicit to your doctor that you want to be listed all the range of treatment options, so you can discuss their tradeoffs and choose what feels right for you.
That time is hard, I think. So the network itself has needs, you can't just shift all clocks by 55 ns. So instead, an offset is broadcast that tells you what you need to subtract/add to get to UTC.
Now that you bring this up, I wonder if the LCARS interface from Star Trek TNG being primarily amber was inspired by Amber screens and work interfaces like those from Bloomberg Terminals.
Hah! I was driving down this route a few years back when I suddenly found myself on an airstrip along with all the other traffic. It was particularly bizarre given that I’d just driven down from tacuarembo to punta del Diablo on largely unpaved roads.

That said, it’s not the first road doubling up as a landing strip I’ve found myself on - there’s a stretch of the main road between Donetsk and Mariupol that was, in soviet times, used as an emergency field for strategic bombers. It’s this relatively quiet provincial highway that suddenly turns ridiculously wide, and goes dead straight and level for what feels like an eternity - 11km looking at google.

Oh, and RAF manston used to have a level crossing across a taxiway.

Also, this is not a measurement that yields symmetric action, since it’s harmful in only one direction. Your actions based on the same level of accuracy are likely to be different.

If a device can tell you something is maybe poisonous, a positive result is going to lead to very different behaviour than a negative one, even if they’re equally likely to be accurate. This is especially true when your priors (ie research with accurate devices and knowledge of combustion) lead you to expect (prior to measurement) that it will indeed be poisonous.
Hi dang, I'm not sure you're still going to read this message since it's been many hours.

First, I'm sorry to hear HN was under attack. That's never fun.

Second, I understand your reasons for temporarily turning on the CAPTCHA, even though as a user I really dislike it - especially reCAPTCHA.

Given the latter, I hope you will consider alternatives. Regardless though, it would be nice to add a message to the login page explaining that the CAPTCHA is temporary because the website is under attack. That would allow me to keep 3rd-party stuff blocked by uBO on the login page and still know what's going on. I would probably just keep the pages I'm interested in on a tab and come back to them later, when the CAPTCHA is gone.

In any case, as always, thanks for your work keeping this forum alive and healthy.
omg thank you for sharing that, while their actual fate is terrible, it's laid out almost like a netflix series, can't stop reading it

But my impression of London (from living there for a few years in the 2010s) was that it is very much a 6am-11pm city and everything is shut at night. Surely infrastructure work can take place during night shifts?

I found the experience of working in the city and living in Westminster frustrating, because shops, public transport and even pubs(!) would effectively have closed by the time you finished work.

Tiny world!

CCL is used locally for two reasons 1) error messages are better and 2) it ensures that we're writing portable code. SBCL is used in production because it's much faster and it's constantly being updated, so we get cool things for free. I have been eyeing lispworks but I don't know that it offers much benefit right now. We do plan on mobile apps at some point and that's a conversation we'll have with them.

Production itself is pretty much just a live image, not much different than what you'd have when you're developing. We use slynk to be able to connect to it and play with the data. Can see that here [0].

GC hasn't caused an issue yet. I imagine we will run into issues latter half of this year when we roll out alerts but those are challenges which can be overcome. That might even be a lispworks thing honestly.

I don't seen any fundamental difference between AI creating art and humans creating art. Both of these things absorb huge data sets and spit out something similar but different to the data sets they absorbed. Both can apply their 'art' within a defined scope by cross-referencing their data sets. Neither can create something that isn't in some way part of their data set.

The right thing to do is to assume the attacker knows the character set used for a brute force attack so they can limit the search space accordingly, and use that in your entropy calculation.

You'd also want to do things like look for patterns, because tools like John the ripper absolutely do more than random guessing.

It's not performance laggy, it's moving the layers.

Probably something wrong with the math, because if take the scrollbar and move it slowly you would notice how some layers starts to bob up and down, instead of monotonic movement.
Yes, let's focus on the *positive* returns of Enron, you guys.
This happens in the UK as NHS dentists get paid based on work done. My old one before I moved was great, regular checkups and no issues. Moved house and my new dentist 'found' 4 caveties that all needed fixing, one of which was 'critial'.

Me being stupid agreed to have the main one done, which they botched and it turned into a root canal. Swapped dentists after that and went private and magically I have no cavities and they couldn't understand why I'd had a root canal.

Fuck dentists.
