Perf per watt isn’t interesting to users who want the job finished. Work done per joule is extremely interesting but Intel is near the top of the game on that metric. Many CPUs that are viewed as low power are not energy efficient.

On an energy basis the “performance” cores in an Intel CPU are more efficient than the “efficiency” cores.
Not exactly. Free birds can still spread the flu from one location to another, e.g. by dropping excrements.
If every social movement was always polite and nice with our methods, we'd still be slaving for the lord and dying for the king.
This would requires some dev work. Goal here is just to look cool and visionary in case this "new mastodon thing really takes off in the long term".
Yeah... I'll pass on paying $480/year to fuckup my own city; we've been doing it for free for years.
Wouldn’t the third or fourth kid have a proportionally smaller impact on your career or money? For example you have hand me downs, economies of scale in childcare, economies of scale in housing, etc
Why must it fix a problem?
Kids used to be a backloaded financial asset, essentially low cost labor. Now they're a major financial liability. If you are middle class and have four kids, you're probably not really middle class anymore.

Also, the stuff related to making kids expensive (school, housing, medical care) is working out of a completely different economy than the cheap TV economy that makes us the richest of all time. Medical care is far more an expensive by proportion of household income than it was in, say, 1955, as is school and housing. Add to that the breakdown in social structures that means you won't get family to take care of your kids and it just doesn't look that hot to have a kid these days, even if you want one.
TI-83+ calculators were doing grayscale like this 20 years ago, so a lot of people did have this as kids. It was a bit flickery but worked well.
They already are though. The currently shipping Intel and AMD chips perform similarly at 65W.
Minor point, but I looked at the map to see if my city (London) was there, saw a pin around York, and moused over it to see that it was in-fact London.
I have 3 and I remember the process you're going through.

> thinking of all the vacations and iPhones I would have to buy

You don't have to buy this stuff. I grew up lower middle class, the only vacation we took until I was 15 was driving 8h to stay with my grandma. I never had a gameboy or lots of other things. My childhood was still great. Looking back maybe I could have had those things if my brother didn't exist, but I'm much happier that my brother exists because 10/10 I had way more fun with him than having a gameboy or exotic vacations, even though we didn't always get along.

College education is expensive, but it's possible to not spend a fortune using community college and transferring. Hopefully there will be even more low cost options in the future.

If you can have a roof over their head, feed them, have a stable home life and bring a positive attitude to every day then the rest doesn't matter.
Great system.

The advantage of running gas to homes is to avoid the single point of failure in the event either the gas or electric delivery fails.

Also, creating heat from electricity requires either a) massive amounts of sustainable energy b) nuclear or c) burning fossil fuels to create electricity, then sending it down the wire to become heat again. Under any condition except b), is massively inefficient. Trying to run a ton of electric heat off green power sources in a deep freeze would be a disaster.
In my entire life, I've never run out of side projects that tickle my curiosity. If I didn't have to do it for money, I'd probably be doing pretty similar coding projects anyway ^_^

There’s a difference between inflation and a price hike within one industry

Of course inflation is permanent. The mechanics of money would break down otherwise. When money can deflate, money becomes an investment vehicle like crypto did and we know how bad that is.

When there is a threat of inflation, it forces people to transfer money instead of hoarding it. That is the entire purpose of money.

Now, about the price hike… is it permanent? Probably not when there are 160,000 competing poultry farms.
Don’t trait objects work the same way as vtables (fat pointer)?

In my view Japan at least is undoubtedly a western nation, at least when it comes to the strength and values of their institutions.
Peoples sense of the internet is just a corporate engulfed dystopia, they don't see a reason behind this because they haven't experienced what it could be otherwise.

I grew up with metric and I 100% agree that metric is missing a foot sized unit of measurement.

Also the meter, mm, and km are cool, but the cm is just the wrong size. Too small.
Yes, we're saying the same thing.

And by analogy, Kristall is a "microbrowser" and I think HN had a bad reaction to it because the top-level description was "a browser."

It's the Arduino of browsers.

That doesn't make it bad, but this site is full of pedants and when you call a tool by a slightly-different name, you get "um-actually'd" to death.

(Sometimes, you even get someone swearing at you because they think you don't know the difference between a general-purpose small computer and a microcontroller ;) ).
Broilers actually only live to be 9 weeks old, so their business cycle is very short. The old layers are labeled stew hens when you can find them at the store.
The US changed it. AFAIK, the icao definition has not changed, though I guess it could in the future.

Given that the US often does these kinds of things first, I've often wondered if it is a US-centric way of thinking?
The article on stables and volatiles was really great thank you for posting that. Its one of the first times I've seen my intuitions and feelings on problem solving described not only in a positive way, but also as a necessary yin-yang type relationship balancing the other side.
It's called the ratchet effect. The government doesn't like giving your money back. That's why taxes almost never go down, either - e.g. the "temporary" income tax that only affects the richest 1% of people..
LOL. Literally. Do people do this? I gotta try this with my wife - on the one hand she's going to smack me but on the other hand I'll get a serious laugh out of the experience.
Or if you switch devices?

Or need to collaborate on the data (i.e. a company with empoyees)

Or have regulations/controls on where data lives 'at rest'
It's been many years since I was a (.NET) developer and therefore since I used automapper. Are there any VS plugins that take the tedium out of this mapping? Right click on a class, choose a class to map it to, and it creates the boilerplate code for the mapping layer?
DC's are paying $11k apiece for the A100 do ya think?
The latter has API equivalency, but that is not the same thing as feature parity. Plus, you have very different concerns when you want a small self-hosted app, vs a more “traditional” deploy model where integration and the like are more important, shaping the way you program.
Never seen a hectogram in Europe, everything less than a kilogram is labelled in grams.

Combined with the concerns of another commenter who scratched his head about having to give his body length as 183cm, I come to the conclusion American brains overflow after 99.
> JPMorgan said it learned the truth about Frank after sending out marketing emails to a batch of 400,000 customers. About 70% of the emails bounced back, the bank said in a lawsuit filed last month in federal court.

That sounds like an interesting day for an increasing number of people, starting with whomever saw the bounce numbers first.

Was it someone in IT? In Marketing? What were their first thoughts, and how did the information percolate up?
Agreed. It's very clear whose interests this article aims to protect.
I think that diagrams as code become useful when all the stakeholders (engineers, coders, devops etc) are involved in building it together. It'll eliminate spaghetti code and ultimately hold information on important key decisions made by different builders. It'll be a type of dev tool that helps churn out diagrams (code visualization, code maps) where different levels of builders understand it and it holds all the information on the whys of the software.
Return air heat pumps? It's telling that I have no idea what you're talking about, when I just this weekend pulled the wiring for the brand new heat pump that's literally being installed at my parent's house as I type this.

We both have (had, in their case) a forced air natural gas heating system, with "cold air return" ducts which transfer air volume from the bedrooms, kitchen, etc. back to the furnace room so that the heating vents aren't fighting back-pressure. Air drawn from kitchens, bedrooms, living spaces, etc. goes back into the bottom of the furnace, where it's heated and returned to the house. There are two sets of ducts, one going away from the furnace and one going back to it. It's a closed system.

You can't pull heat out of air in your air return, then pump that same return air through a heat exchanger to make it hotter than before.

Sometimes, yes, air from the kitchens and bathrooms when you turn on the stove exhaust fan or bathroom fan is conveyed out of the house through a baffled wall vent by a PVC pipe (note that a sad number of bathroom fans eg. in old hotels and apartments, where getting ducts out of the building is impractical, are not actually moving air: they just make noise and don't go anywhere). But those dedicated fans are only turned on for a few minutes per day. Just about everything else is a closed system...older atmospheric venting water heaters and

One thing that I would be interested to see is a clothes dryer that was energy-aware; I've got a newer, reasonably high-efficiency gas dryer but it does dump a lot of energetic hot and humid air into the sub-freezing exterior in winter, which is replaced by cold air getting pulled into the house, and it pulls my expensive cooled air into itself in summer, heats it, and blows it out, to be replaced by pulling in hot and humid summer air.
NO, in metric, I've never dealt with fractions.

It is ALL DECIMAL, which is the point.

It is in the "English" system that you have to deal with the fractions: the board is 8 feet 1 and 23/32 inches long. Now how long will it be when you cut off 5 3/8 inches from that?

If you can't more quickly subtract 137mm from 2482mm, you are either extremely unusual or insincere.
I'm gen-x, and chose not to have children simply because our entire culture is a giant lie, capitalism is slavery with extra steps, Governments are simply the mafia that won each entire nation, corporations are legally projected slave operations, and the vast majority of people are constructed lemmings marching off a cliff designed for them to march off. And public discourse is the rants of immature babies. Sure, bring more young innocents into this farce.

Yes, Zeihan’s point is that increasing urbanization- 50%+ worldwide now- has decreased the utility of children (if we can use that term) and increased their costs
Were you able to install it with your existing furnace or did you have to replace the furnace?
It feels like this has become common for any older industries that are moving deeper into tech. Even the companies that are bleeding edge seem to have trouble running software teams.
I dont see chickens getting paid more.
Your father invented the Bayer filter. HN never ceases to amaze me :)
Probably work on quality of life stuff. I would work on under prioritized job related automation. Essentially invest in personal, at work, projects that make work less annoying, but which dont get buy in from anyone else.

I think the cheapest near me in Boston is Walmart, where it was about $4.39/dozen a week or so ago (seems to be $4.85/dozen now) , but seeing a lot of local supermarkets where the cheapest is $6.49/dozen it really made me think back to pre-pandemic.

I think right around 4 years ago, maybe just before (52 months), I could get a dozen at ALDI for $0.69-0.79 at times. Though I bet if I went to ALDI today it wouldn’t be less than $4.

Inflation certainly hasn’t helped, and then with the 50 million plus birds culled, the difference has been stark. Takes time to recoup that stock of hens, assuming some of the smaller farms that were suppliers didn’t go belly up in the aftermath.
Can you explain what you mean by this? Are you saying crime is actually good or something else?
Yeah, it's not just eggs. My grocery bill has definitely been greatly outpacing the official inflation figures, which are already high. Double or triple that rate, I'd say.
And what will it do during the next day while your fasting ? use it..
I agree. I'm developing a system which uses webapp to interact with device over USB. It works in Chrome. It's sad for me to not support Firefox but the only way is to ask user to run some binary which will open websocket on localhost to interact with USB device. This is strictly worse from security PoV. This is strictly worse from usability PoV (user have to download and install manually additional component). This introduces update hurdles (I need to develop reliable updater). So much friction and issues just because of purity stand which hurts user in the end.
Virtual Event: Authorization for Your Inner Programmer
As programmers, many of us got indoctrinated into ideas like “Convention over Configuration” and “Provide Sharp Knives” early on. But authorization – a problem as old as software and one that’s core to no one’s domain – is still anything but magical.

Sam Scott (cofounder/CTO of Oso) is on an epic quest for programmable authorization, and thinks we can learn a thing or two from web frameworks when building authorization systems.

During this tech talk, Sam will explain:
- Why an authorization system needs to be opinionated but flexible
- Why it’s a tricky balance to achieve
- And what happens if you get it right.

He’ll also demo Oso Cloud, a batteries-included authorization system we’ve built for application authorization.

Stay for a technical Q&A, demos from Oso engineers, special swag, and a Polar policy puzzle (there will be prizes).
See you there .

The tagline got me. I went to the website. The landing page told me little beyond what's already known about GraphQL. I went to the documentation. Clicked through a few overview links. Spent 5-10 minutes in total. I have no idea how this is RPC with the power of GraphQL.

Edit: It's just buzzwords all over. The title of the homepage is "The Serverless API Developer Platform" I don't even know what that has to do with the tag.
> This article (and most quoting "low birth rate") are incredibly out of touch. How can you be shocked that in a world where a shooting might not make the news, our politicians don't hide their corruption, and you know, the climate crisis that we've seen coming and still choose to do nothing.

And yet, the world has never been safer in a long time and the statistics show it.

The ever rising cost of living and challenges to careers for caregivers are a real concern though.
To be transparent, "free market" was never totally free. It was free in the sense of beneficial to only certain countries/establishments. Even before COVID, US/EU had certain subsidies to support (and keep local industries in safe hands). Not that it is wrong/right but crying foul only on China/others is unfair. Every one strong arms this in negotiation.
Was any part of todays Finland not under Swedish rule 1809?
the alternative is lower performance for those who do want it. You can very easily undervolt a cpu if the heat is genuinely uncomfortable.
It's pretty clear that specific crises can have a short term impact in driving fertility rates down, but long term all the evidence also is very clear that increased wealth correlates pretty strongly with reduced fertility rates.

That contradicts those who thinks dropping fertility rates is due to worsening economic strain, but it does not invalidate the claim in the article, though, which is not that falling rates are due to economic strain, beyond specific crises like the 2008 recession, but due to people feeling more worried.

Part of that may well be that peoples expectations rise, both for what they want to be able to afford for themselves and what they'd expect to spend on a child. E.g. I've easily spent more money on my 13yo son so far than the total my parents spent - inflation adjusted - on me and my brother combined until we were 18.
Filmmaker here - Parasites budget was in the 10 million range. Paranormal Activity's initial budget was in the 15K range (tiny, even when it was shot 15 years ago), a further 200k was spent on post production and reshoots when it was picked up by a major studio. This doesn't count the many millions both had spent on marketing - which is often up to twice a productions shooting and post budget.

High end filmmaking has gotten 'cheaper', in that you can use virtual production to simulate environments etc. And undoubtedly shooting 'digital' is cheaper than film development. Although nowhere near as much cheaper than you might think, once the cost of a DIT and professional colour grade is thrown into the mix. However the standards of both independent film and TV production are enormously higher than they were 15 years ago.

It's not that it's impossible to make something cheaply - I'm involved in the kino kabaret movement, where amateurs and professionals alike join together to make effectively zero budget films over a weekend.

However - the cost of producing a decent film has not dropped to a few thousand. Quite the opposite. Given the high production value of contemporary indies, it's inarguably more difficult now to make something that will play festivals and sell to distributers for an 'ultralow' budget.

Moreover, lots of the budgets you see quotes are as low as they were because the film was effectively subsidised by a small production company. In other words, everyone worked for free and used borrowed gear, often worth hundreds of thousands. For reference a fully kitted out Arri Alexa 35 or LF is over 90k euro to buy, and over 1k per day to rent.

A decent budget for a short film is in the 40 - 50k range, once everyone is actually getting paid for their time. Couple of million dollars / euros would be a low budget film, with favours pulled in and everyone working for less than half of their rates for commercial work.
Irrespective of the content of any given regulation, it will slow down, cost money to adapt to, and therefore cause problems with supply.

You have to hire a lawer who follows these things, interprets them. Then you have to craft new changes in the way you do things (no matter what things you do or how) to adapt, and you have to also signal that so you won't get audited/inspected (which is a huge cost in time & resources even if there are 0 violations).

And that's before the cost of the actual regulation.
I'd really love a reason for why they went with aspect ratio versus just sidewall height in inches. To me it just seems like more pain to try and understand the size of a tire, but I do imagine there was some good reason why it was measured that way.

Well, that's embarrassing.

what you think is 'as simple as possible' may not be the same as for them. But if they are truly adding more complexity than needed then they are not 'too smart'. that's just stupid. and you should fire them.
I don't think he's making an argument either way? He's just commenting that given the current situation, it seems that the snitching app has too many employees?

I'd argue the title is wrong - it's not a "Crime app" as much as a "Crime reporting & monitoring" app.
I guess it depends. I am alone and almost never say anything, but I'm almost always wearing only underpants 23/7. Perhaps for other people, home conversations are more sensitive and they dress sensibly inside the house.
