The problem is that fast chargers are being installed by companies whose goal is to make money from their charging networks, and they are doing exactly that.

I think the end-state for EV charging will be installation of chargers at places people want to stop on longer trips. It takes long enough for a good charge that the human(s) will need something to do, which means bathrooms, restaurants, or maybe shopping. I predict EV road trips will be economical in the US when McDonalds installs chargers at their locations along the interstates, as a convenience to customers rather than a primary revenue source. IMHO this will require next-gen DC fast chargers as well, as the current models are still rather clunky and expensive for McD's.
I've had friends at other companies ask me if I could do something about a post here because of my karma. There's an impression that it matters somehow...
Kanban as originally used at Toyota was always used to coordinate pre-determined "production line" factory processes. It wasn't used for creative iteration in the way you see it used in a western software development context.

Similarly, kaizen was all about continual factory process optimization, not optimization of a codebase through iterative refactoring. In fact, the mindset is very much "write the code once, never change it, and keep it running it forever basically without upgrades or patches."

"Reduce muda" (we might say "reduce toil") is laughably out-of-place in Japanese software shops. To give an example, an acquaintance worked as "DevOps" at Rakuten. His job was to release new software versions by opening up 200 SSH terminal windows.
A lot of NYC benefits- subsidized or free health insurance, subsidized housing, food stamps, free child care benefits, etc only kick in if your income is below a certain threshold. It’s very easy to work off the books in NYC and collect the benefits while still making a decent amount of money in cash.
It seems that most business objects should have all of the following:

1) A memory-friendly, indexed, unique, immutable ID (e.g. BIGINT or GUID).

2) A human-friendly unique immutable codename/slug.

3) A human-friendly mutable marketing/display name.

1 & 2 could be combined in some cases
> Writing code for the web is 10,000 layers of added complexity far above and beyond literally any other kind of programming.

Video games? Mission-critical real-time embedded code? Operating system development?

I don't want to knock anyone down, but web programming is not the most complex or challenging thing going, it's just software development.

True, it's made more difficult and annoying than it should be, because you need to deal with a jenga-like stack of badly-designed and poorly-documented APIs, forced to use languages and systems with inherent flaws, and have your targets constantly shifting due to the latest fad. But then, that's not unique to web dev, it's just worse.
That's probably because electricity costs themselves are extremely variable. And that is likely because electricity cannot economically be stored or transported, unlike oil or gasoline or even (natural) gas. Thus, every electricity market is its own little thing, there is no "global market for electricity."

There are language features of dynamic languages like python that prevent them from being compiled to machine code. That is to say, the compiler can’t know what assembly to output from the code itself, it also has to know some type information which isn’t available until runtime. I would encourage you not to fight the classification of interpreted language as your primary argument. You will likely lose credibility with the listener before you have a chance to make any good points. You could for instance say “just because the reference implementation is slow doesn’t mean there is no hope for the language becoming fast”. There is some truth to the argument. JavaScript has become a reasonably fast language with all the engineering effort spent on engines for it. But I would also spend some time learning about what makes dynamic languages hard to compile. I think you will find that some features of the language must be dropped to achieve fully aot compilation. The classic example would be eval() which invokes an interpreter from inside the language, but there are usually other features.

There's a decent middle ground where the cute name is also descriptive, even if it's indirectly so.

For instance, Grafana's stack is

which also spells "LGTM".

Of course, then they shipped "Phlare" because apparently they couldn't find a cute name for Profiling?

Yeah, it's still a problem, but the problem is with the powers that be that set the rules for what it means to live officially. The wages are less of a problem here than the theft by government of the fruits of ones labor.

The wages payable are still at the mercy of what the market will bear. If these people could not find a way to live officially, in many cases it's highly unlikely that the wage could rise to cover their cost of living and the taxes to be paid, meaning the job would no longer exist.

At the end of the day, you can't tax a society into prosperity. Every tax dollar spent needs to be justified on an ROI for society.

Ask HN: HN's login page and password manager autofill issue
https://news.ycombinator.com/login

My password manager can't tell the difference between the login username text box and the new account username text box.. It fills in both, then sends an enter command, activating the button for new account.

I am a tester, not a developer, but I observed that the name id on both text boxes are the same. Maybe change the new account username form "name" to "new-acct-username" and the password managers might handle it better?

I can't speak to other places and times, but I just looked up the place where I did my internship and residency in the US. Starting salary today is just over $52k, which - while not nothing - is a good salary for a fresh college grad, not an MD. By the end of residency, they are around $60k despite being nearly fully qualified.

Taking 24h call roughly every fourth or fifth night. Working typically 50-60 hours a week, without counting call.

One of my college friends told me I should apply for a residency near him, just so we would have an opportunity to hang out. I told him I couldn't afford it. He was astonished that we had to pay for our own job interviews.

I'm not trying to be all woe-is-me; it's an interesting job, and I like it, and I am well-paid now. But it's a rough road to get here, and you basically don't get to have your twenties.

At best, Googling StackOverflow gets me one function, but only if I know the right keywords and it is short. ChatGPT, I can (and have!) given it example data and said "make a python script to parse this", and it not only gives me code, not only does it work, but when I ask it to extend this to do more or differently, the changes also work coherently with the previous results.

I'm not saying that these males are lying about experiencing pain around the abdominal area. That may well be true. But it can't be the uterine muscle cramps that women with premenstrual syndrome endure, because that, and every other condition of the uterus, does not happen to males, by definition. This is an appropriation of a female-only experience.

They're not "hormonally female" either. The hormonal profile of a male taking high doses of a single exogenous hormone is nothing close to the same as that of the natural female experience: a cycle of multiple hormones, mediated by the female reproductive system.

Well, you know, this situation will not change as long as most current religions are not banned. Its a weird world. One side argues for for 100% scientifically driven decisions, and the other wisde still believes in the boggy man.
I think to OP's point though, it's hard to construct a "Living Wage" that does not include some imposition of white, Western morality. "This is the minimum ethical standard, as determined by middle-class researchers."

If you look at the methodology, they will often include things like owning your own car, a private living space, private food consumption, etc.

A pertinent example is if you are from a culture that doesn't cherish individuality so much, you may be perfectly happy to put up with a shared/used car, roommates, communal cooking, etc.

Which explains why we might consider wages "sub-living", but people still come from around the world and still thrive on them.

Not only that, it's not clear to me that these models required the sort of annotation that Scale sells. He says:

>Each of the big AI breakthroughs (ChatGPT, GPT-3, DALL-E) have been made possible through extensive data collection and annotation infrastructure.

Maybe I'd count the RLHF stuff from ChatGPT as requiring a form of annotation. But like Dall-E is trained using existing captions/alt-text. No one is sitting in a room annotating images for Dall-E. Where would a company like Scale fit into this?
The children that Foucault has been referring to were not 21 year old men, as you know perfectly well, and as the Wikipedia article makes and the other links I gave make perfectly clear. And the German Greens also did not refer to 21 year old men, what they all were supporting was more something like the Kentler experiments [1].

What is "my own party" and what is "my own country", are you not making unwarranted assumptions?

Absent strong social pressure, humans tend to start having sex when they reach puberty. I doubt that there is even one human on the planet who does not have ancestors that had children at 13. Why is this relevant?

What is not acceptable, as you know very well, is genital mutilation of children without consent (children cannot give consent) that renders them permantently infertile and dysorgasmic. Stop defending child abuse!

You might look into a trainer for a few sessions. I'm in a similar situation, and just getting back into lifting with a set of at-home weights. Thankfully, one of my company benefits is an in-house trainer who you can sign up with for a few remote sessions. She's putting together a plan for me, then will do a few zoom calls to make sure I'm doing the exercises right, and hopefully that'll take care of things.

Years ago, I used a trainer in a gym to kickstart a plan, and I found it very useful.

That tracks with my experience: I've never received a tax discount for paying in cash downtown. I think some of that has to do with who owns the real estate: ownership tends to be corporate and structured downtown, so businesses' finances tend to be correspondingly more accountable and "by the books."
Good. It's time for this to happen.
To be clear, I've definitely seen higher than 4%, just not frequently. What I have personally never seen is a discount of exactly 8.875%, I would have noticed that!
There's nothing inherently wrong with having junior engineers conducting interviews. But if a junior engineer is on my interview panel, I'm going to politely decline and end the process. A junior is not going to have the experience to accurately evaluate someone with close to two decades of experience writing software. Same goes for kids with < 10 years of experience who call themselves "senior," which I find happens often at FAANG.

Last I was interviewed by a junior, I brought up a concept for which he had never heard of. Even after explaining it in great detail, he argued with me for half the interview trying to explain why such a system would never hold in practice. Needless to say, I did not get the position. Total waste of my time.

I'm not saying git rebase -i shouldn't be interactive. I'm saying that there are workflows that that don't necessarily need to be interactive, where git rebase -i is the only way to do it (ok, maybe you could build something with lower level plumbing commands, but you would have to duplicate quite a bit of logic that is in git rebase).
Nearly everything openAI has showcased at least has a publicly published paper on how to reproduce what they have done.

Sure, it isn't as good as source code and model weights... But having a paper probably reduces by 90% the time+money expense to reproduce the work.
That's quite easy to explain. They don't have a problem because the people that contract them do it explicitly to run GPUs. They don't have to protect a massive number of people that don't exactly know what they are hiring.
Simplicity is important and when something is silly it’s important to say so. If you feel disrespected I think you’re being too sensitive.

I think you’re confused about copyright law and about what is a facsimile vs a derivative work, and you’re also wrong about learning being fundamentally different for AI. AI learning is vastly superior and much more capable of both facsimile and imitation… but what is that if not learning; that is the definition of learning, plainly.

It's many problems. It's not a simple situation because it's one that has evolved over many generations. Is it working people defrauding the government? Is it the government abrogating it's responsibility to manage the economy and tax people fairly and provide effective services to the community? Is it a haven for criminality of a more sinister and even violent kind that inhabits the grey economy and turns it black? All of the above, but it's hard to reform because the people who live this way and suffer many of the disadvantages that result from it are also deeply complicit in it's operation.

> gas clothes dryer is more efficient and interestingly, less fire risk than electric

A regular electric dryer is 100% energy efficient, just like an electric resistance space heater. A heat-pump electric dryer can be 2-300% "efficient" (really COP) because it uses a heat pump.

A gas dryer is strictly less than 100% efficient - because like with any combustion device, some portion of the fuel is unburned and is sent out the exhaust/flue. Even the most expensive gas condensing modulating furnaces are only in the 90-97% combustion efficiency range.

Gas dryers are usually more time efficient though. They achieve such high temperatures (thanks to combustion) that they dry clothes 50% faster. And because gas is cheaper than electricity, they are cheaper to operate. The operational energy cost advantage vanishes when compared to heat pump electric dryers, however.

Did you somehow miss all the other tests, even thought they are higher on the page? The important test is shown first: loading objects.

I'm not trying to benchmark my wifi or my disk. The IO time is not included there on purpose. Of course a bigger application that does other things wouldn't see this huge difference in performance. But I'm testing the performance of a library here.

typedload can use validators, but since it doesn't reimplement attrs/dataclass, I had no interest in testing those… it'd be a race between libraries I didn't write.

typedload's exceptions contain enough detail to tell the end user what went wrong.

when encountering errors in lists, typedload slows down due to keeping compatibility with python 3.7. However in my test with loading objects, despite the slowdown it remains faster than pydantic.
