Deconstruction of nuclear power plants.

Wind turbines are built in the north for both countries, where the vast majority of the population live in the south. This means that power has to be moved for distances that span the equivalent of several countries (Norway and Sweden are very long).

South used to provide some ~30% of base power by nuclear, but due to political and economical[0] pressure they've been neglected and subsequently removed.

[0] Sweden had nuclear specific taxation for several decades, constantly increasing until the point where a lot of power plants were unable to finance themselves. Recently, the tax was dropped. The narrative now is that "the market has spoken" about their lack of profitability, neglecting three decades of economical and political/PR warfare against them.
If you take it from the attacker perspective they won't generate all possible passwords to crack a password hash.

They'll run through a dictionary of passwords in order of popularity trying each one.

Services that rely on passwords to wrap private keys should check those passwords against known password breaches. i.e. https://haveibeenpwned.com/ with half a billion passwords.

Then using a suitable hashing algorithm i.e. argon2id and a salt you get a high level of usability for the user and secured data.
You also grew up and the world changed in that time. I had the same thing, but I realized it was just my teenage years romanticizing the designs of that era.
I did mathhs on it. To cope with daily peaks of generation and usage, a family that spends modest 100-150 kW*h/mo will need a 30-meter tall tower and a 5*5*5 meter cube of concrete inside as a load. Not to mention mechanisms to drive this up and down. Just one household! Which is completely unfeasible for an apartment building.*

I really must chime in that Ferris Bueller's Day Off is not even close to even 1% of all the ways to arrive at Fight Club.

That's why Fight Club relates to way more people and persists in a much more significant way.
They'll use "safety" as an excuse to subvert this, and keep gouging the farmers. It's the same hack that just happened in New York to their now useless "right to repair" law.
Sure - take it as an example of renewable energy working for a continuous sustained period of time for ~ 2 million people plus Defence Industries [1], Heavy Industry Smelters [2], etc.

It's "small", sure, but it's much bigger than a single house (which was the comment I responded to "sure, a house is easy, but does it scale?)).

It's also relatively isolated (although not a fully isolated independent grid like W.Australia) and so serves as an interesting test case with almost a circle about it.

Yep. I'm using the iCE40HX FPGA on an open "source" Olimex Board [1] and my toolchain is all free and open source tools: yosys, arachne-pnr (which is replaced by nextpnr, but I haven't upgraded yet), flashrom, iceprogduino, iverilog.

How does one power active RF emitters on miles and miles of road surface? The vast majority of surface level roadway doesn’t even have powered illumination in most places, which leads me to think the lowest hanging fruit for this type of thing would be something passive, like the RF equivalent of cats eyes.
Growing up in rural Ireland in the late 70s and 80s The Breakfast Club seemed so damn cool to us. Life for these kids seemed impossibly great and it was hard to understand why they were so jaded. At least the more privileged ones. But then I grew up and saw Ireland go from fairly poor to rich and understood that when you solve one set of more basic problems then new higher level problems emerge.
Great work on releasing your project and a very smart move to use a Chrome plugin. Please continue to keep building.

My advice is that you should ignore any absolutist or extreme folks that will react with emotions, scream and blanket dismiss your project as another scam. You will get a lot of that here on HN and they can get a bit upset and angry because of the general market conditions that affected many folks last year. (including layoffs)

Don't let that stop you and continue with your project!
And how about area where your business is but your best developpers are somewhere else.

For example if you work with certain industries here in Europe (Luxury, Pharma, Automative) but your development team is - due to shortage of talents in europe - in the US. Where shall you be?

Starting procedure on MOS6502 is not that simple as it is told in the article. It spends some 7 clocks on doing internal initialization and only then fetches address of first jump from reset vector (0xFFFC/0xFFFD). I find Ben Eater's series on building simple 8-bit breadboard computer using 6502 CPU very educating and entertaining.

I'm curious how well the iPhone OCR actually works. How do you deal with errors? Is the error rate low enough that you can accept the output from the iPhone OCR as is or do you also run it through a cleaning process (e.g. spell check)?
I don't know if anyone else has real experience of this, but I highly suspect that you can take a lean company, hire aggressively and turn it into a fat slow moving company. I strongly suspect if you take a fat slow moving company and cut it down it doesn't suddenly become lean again, it stays slow and fat, but just does less. Also, as a side note:

>A meeting with 50+ people that took a month to schedule.

Very funny. There's not a single meeting on earth outside of a parliament that needs 50+ people.
> A UI library for React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, whatever... Imagine being able to have a component library that works with any of them (or none of them).

That seems to be a worthy goal, but I don't see that being usable in prod projects, at least not in the near future.

The closest I've seen is something like PrimeFaces, which has components for Angular, React and Vue, which is the majority of projects I've seen out there: https://www.primefaces.org (I've also used the Java JSF variety, it was... sometimes problematic)

If you need something that works the same (or as close as you can get) across multiple front end frameworks/libraries, while still having most of the components you could possibly want, I don't think there are many other options out there.

For example:

- Angular calendar: https://www.primefaces.org/primeng/calendar

- React calendar: https://www.primefaces.org/primereact/calendar/

- Vue calendar: https://www.primefaces.org/primevue/calendar
Pareto principle - optimize for 80% of the load and you probably can get by with 20% of the effort.

Connect a few V2G cars to the apartment building as well to soak up the excess supply in the daytime and demand at night, and pretty soon we have a robust solution.
I am one of these people. DevOps practitioners openly talk about feeling like yaml engineers and wanting to do more traditional programming. It is no secret nor derogatory, rather a reflection and expressed desire of many practitioners.

However there are better places where we can write code than in undoing the progress of declarative infrastructure.

You again show your assumptions and misplaced ridicule
To understand how much people care, it must be expressed in dollar terms. For example, you could ask the people who wrote the article to contribute to a fund that will maintain renamed forks of various Apache software projects. If their inclination to fundraise and donate isn't there, we can infer they don't care very much relative to the caring of the people who would actually have to do the work.
Now this is the sort of disgusting pile of jank I love to see.
Yes, I'm not comparing the two movies directly. I just find it funny and interesting to view both as happening in Cameron's universe.
Absolutely amazing on the tech side!!!

Now, after reading the article, I gave your search engine a try. I was looking for that futurama its a trap meme (pretty much pops up on any image search here https://www.google.com/search?q=futurama+its+a+trap)

The problem is, the search engine you built is now very text-heavy, which seems to be usually very unconnected to the actual meme. So, searching for "its a trap" did not yield the results I was actually hoping for, but made total sense looking at how the search was implemented.

Are you planning to implement an actual tagging of the content of some sorts? Maybe a clustering of similar objects (like iphone clusters similar peoples faces in the gallery) and then tag those clusters with keywords somehow?
I've had a lot of luck with Gephi for fairly complex graphs (~10000 nodes and edges), in particular it has some very powerful layout algorithms. It can be very helpful to have immediate visual feedback when untangling something like that. Nice to see that development is ongoing, the GUI used to feel a bit clunky but 0.10 seems a lot better!
The corpus is just a set of token sequences, so the question is does any of them contain text stating that a subsequent portion represents an example of sonething that is, of would be, written by a high IQ individual.
For a single data point, it works exceptionally well for me. I routinely copy-paste from images or screenshots, and it rarely fails (mostly for handwriting or obscure fonts).

> I think that’s kind of the point though, is if you’re saying you’re capable of being President of Virgin (the prize I believe), then there is little to no safety net. You are the professional in charge responsible for everyone else’s safety.

This isn't hiring for prudence, this is hiring for ability to guess Branson's gotcha.
This is absolutely brilliant.

I believe I will actually use it a lot if you keep the site up.

Minor feedback for the blog post: It deserves a better meta description (for link previews). The first paragraph doesn't advertise how good the article is going to be.
That's right, but they could make it look more like a 2016 Mercedes CLS than ... i dont know what this looks like... I mean they could work they 2010-2016 models in terms of aerodynamism.

Luckily, your interests are very, very inexpensive.

One of the worst things school systems teach us, incorrectly, is that life is a linear progression. Every person on a career ladder is missing out on other career ladders that may be better for them.

Apply to every job that looks interesting, network, get in the habit of checking the careers section of websites you visit.

Locate a job advert you’re not qualified for, spend a week watching YouTubes on the topic, and apply.

Walk 3 miles across your town and count how many “hiring” signs you see. Apply for 10 of those.

Readjust your expectations every day (that’s right, no hyphen) for three weeks and then re-assess (yes, hyphen here). You’ll get a crappy job, but lots of fodder for your writing.

Your next job will be better.
Then check your resolver because privacy.apple.com works just fine for me (and I have a fancy filtering DNS setup).
That's one and the same though. When you've trained an AI model and can't be sure of the output it's going to give, who knows whether it's going to give honest answers on sensitive topics
No threads. Well, there’s two CPUs so you can count that as two threads. They run completely independently, operating on two different codes with different instruction sets. (ARM9 and ARM7TDMI)

I don’t know what you mean exactly by time scheduling. There are several timers that you can configure and you can set them to raise an interrupt when they finish. They can restart automatically.

There is an interrupt vector for both software and hardware interrupts. Software ones are raised by the swi assembly instruction. Hardware ones are raised by the aforementioned timers but also the display (vertical and horizontal blank), the sound system, wifi, etc. They can be enabled/disabled by setting a specific bit in a specific memory location (IE interrupt enable). Your interrupt handler is supposed to restore registers and clear the interrupt flag at the end.

Context switching is done manually.

I think libnds has an implementation of software threads. I don’t know how they work.
Maybe we have reached the end of "generic search"? Searching the web shopping for a product is distinctly different from asking various fact finding questions, which is different from searching for an error message from a library etc.

Personally I would prefer if those distinct tasks were served by distinct providers, with different (and transparent) business models, using different levels of underlying human curation and/or other optimizations as appropriate for each sub-domain.

E.g. for "facts" I would want a wikipedia+ type tool with a lot of curation. I am not looking for somebody to sell me something, just one answer that settles the fact.

For code related stuff I would want primary sources only (hence a manual pre-selection of what is being indexed).

There is obviously room for more commercially oriented product search and in this domain search could be an ad-sponsored marketplace / catalog, but without the atrocious personal profiling practices.

The idea that it is "optimal" to have just one URL for interacting with the entire online universe no matter who your are and what you are after is a bit strange.
10 seconds seems like more than enough even if I were doing those things.
The new comments section on the frameworks page is nice. It's interesting to see which ones people for apathetic about and which have lots of love.
Thoughts can't flow if they aren't expressed completely. Insinuation can flow, but not open thoughts.
If this is based on fpga tech (xilinx) I don't think it will have a cost/benefit edge over asics. Why not do their own TPU like Google did? Nowadays even embedded MCUs come with AI accelerators (last I heard was 5TOPS in a banana pi-cm4 board - that is sufficient for object detection stuff and perhaps even more).
Anyone noticed that chat history is gone?

I was wondering how can they afford to keep all that data, I thought that maybe its peanuts compared to the cost of running the GPT, but well, maybe it's not after all.

If the free version will be around for some time, I guess they could create a browser extension to store the responses. Or something as simple as allowing to download the conversation data and load it. Anything would be better than no chat history at all.
Do you have a source to show that inbreed mice have higher resistance to toxic drugs?

I’d be interested to read it.
Thank you for the response and your efforts to make things better.

My only gripe is that a friend had a similar issue with Stripe and the replies usually were just copy and paste. Like that other poster, they asked him to upload every other document but the replies were uninformative. It was all 'copy paste' legalese and not conveying information. Eventually it did get resolved.
You clearly haven't had the pleasure of wasting half a day here and there due to botched master->main renames, like some of us have. Yes, it was actually net destructive because the actual delivered benefit was zero. Language does not define reality. Reality defines language.

Stephan Banach quoted by Steinhaus in Through a reporter’s eyes, Roman Kaluza, 1995
From the article:
> In December 2022, an international team of astronomers released the results of their latest survey of galaxies, and their work has confirmed that the vacuum of spacetime is wreaking havoc across the cosmos. They found that matter makes up only a minority contribution to the energy budget of the universe.

The linked paper -- https://arxiv.org/pdf/2212.11319.pdf -- isn't about measuring dark energy at all. (It's using data from a study meant to do that, but it's looking at something else.)

Also,
> This phenomenon has various names: the quantum foam, the spacetime foam, vacuum fluctuations.

This confuses two different phenomena. The vacuum fluctuation of known quantum fields (electromagnetic, electron, Higgs, etc.) is what is thought to give rise to the cosmological constant/dark energy, and is what this article is about. (A limited version of it involving the electromagnetic field produces the Casimir effect, which has been measured.) "Spacetime/quantum foam" is the hypothetical fluctuation of spacetime itself, assuming a quantum theory of gravity. It has nothing to do with dark energy.
And by avoiding other energy intensive components like radar. And hiding other energy intensive appliances behind paywalls (seat heating, heating, etc.).
Its basically gaming the metrics taken to a new extreme, but if you want to treat a evehicle like a normal combustion vehicle in winter, you basically can half the range.
There's a moment in the car scene that I always remembered: When Cameron first starts kicking the Ferrari, Sloane instinctively steps forward to stop him, and Ferris holds her back. Ferris has been exulting about how incredible this car is all throughout the movie, but he doesn't hesitate to let his friend trash it if that's what he needs to do.

It's a nice character moment, but it also speaks to what is, to me, the fundamental message of the film: Objects, like sports cars, no matter how beautiful and rare, are there to be used and enjoyed, not hoarded and held in pristine captivity in fear of negative consequences. And the single most beautiful and rare object you have is your own life. Don't waste it paralysed by fear of what might go wrong, or stuck in a boring classroom or job.
One thing I've always wondered about is what if you get interrupted again while you are halfway done saving registers to the stack? Like I heard something about disabling interrupts during sensitive operations like that, but wouldn't that then risk missing an event entirely instead?
If you block all logins for 5 seconds after a bot attempts to login, and the bot attempts to login 50 times per second, no one will be able to login.
Welcome to any third-world developing country basically.
You have to be, working in self-driving I know for a fact a lot of "shortcuts" were used in a lot of places. For example, using LiDAR data, map data, overfitting on a short section of road to make it seem the solution is universal when it's just "hardwired".
I wouldn't necessarily call it fake, but it was unsustainable and sometimes oversold.
Instead of requiring 12+ char passwords with special symbols and driving people mad, require a long passphrase.

Everyone knows a verse from a song or a passage from a book and most people now have decent typing speed when it comes to text without $#^& and mixed case. So it's as fast to enter, much easier to recall and has a higher entropy even for phrases that aren't excessively long.

The ballpark estimate of the entropy of English test is between 1.0 and 1.9 bits per character, e.g. see [0]. This means that even a short passphrase like this:

And I thought passwords were the best option.

would have between 40 and 80 bits of entropy.

Plaid did something similar during the pandemic but still ended up laying off 20% a couple of years later.

It's a noble thing to do (even if it delays layoffs for some). Good on both companies
What you explain was also implicitly included when I said "I get the intended logic" (just didn't want to make my post too long).

The thing is that this so-called free market works well for generating companies, but makes no sense for consumers. It doesn't matter how cheap producing the bulk of the electricity is, as long as gas isn't turned off completely the consumer always pays the price of gas. In a country evolving from (say) 100% gas to 90% renewables and 10% gas (I know I'm simplifying, these simple mixes don't really exist) the cost of electricity generation would fall through the floor, but the consumer would pay exactly the same. This is clearly dysfunctional, regardless of how nice it can be in theory.

It's also not inevitable. You can set a cap to the prices, but then compensate
sources that go over the cap (in practice, gas) so they don't operate at a loss. This is what the Iberian exception system is doing, and it works.
There's no way this stays locked up in one company. Another group or company (StabilityAI?) will release a similar model without the safety locks.

Stability is already working on this, IIRC.
The developer can only know this to the extent that they control everything happening in memory. The moment libraries maintained by disparate teams enter the picture especially if they are binary-only or otherwise encapsulated, defensive coding starts because you can't reason about lifetimes across the whole program anymore. It also massively complicates any API surface as now every API must declare its refcounting and ref holding rules. GC gets rid of all of that complexity because the GC actually does see the whole program.

One reason I prefer diagrams as "code" (by which I mean Mermaid or similar) is that they can be checked into version control, and changes can be reviewed over time. Unfortunately the diffs become less meaningful after significant changes.

Hmm.... outputting an image to highlight changes might be fun to hack together. One day :)
This is why the UNIX way, where every program does only one thing and does it well, is so powerful.

You don't need to know how it works to use it. And if it really needs changing you can make a new executable with a new version number in its name. That way legacy code can continue to call on the old still functioning version while other peaces of code call on the new version.
yeah but lots of things that work are stupid because there are many other solutions that work better, the greatness of this crazy solution is it really seems like the best solution given price requirements.
Yes, as a manufacturer they (and everyone else in the chain of commerce) have strict liability for damages caused by product defects in the US, even with the US’s comparatively weak consumer protection laws.

I’d be surprised if that wasn’t the case in Germany, independent of any decision Mercedes would make beyond the one to make and sell the car.
