This is a good example of the type issues "full self driving" is likely to encounter once it is widely deployed.

The real shortcoming of "AI" is that it is almost entirely data driven. There is little to no real cognition or understanding or judgment involved.

The human brain can instantly and instinctively extrapolate from what it already knows in order to evaluate and make judgments in new situations it has never seen before. A child can recognize that someone is hiding under a box even if they have never actually seen anyone do it before. Even a dog could likely do the same.

AI; as it currently exists, just doesn't do this. It's all replication and repetition. Like any other tool, AI can be useful. But there is no "intelligence" --- it's basically as dumb as a hammer.

The important part is that it isn’t necessary for people to use their cars for the _public_ good for this idea to work.

If there's an economic incentive for EV owners to use V2H to reduce their _own_ load during the time of low generation (and thus high prices), then the setup would already do a great job at balancing the grid.

People aren’t dumb and will be able to figure out where the break-even point is and at what price point it makes sense for them to discharge. Today the only problem is the availability of the V2H tech. My belief is that the _only_ important change that needs to happen is a govt. mandate for V2H support in vehicles and home chargers. Supporting this is quite cheap, and today’s implementations of V2L/H are just price gouging on the novelty basis.

I use an app for my home heating that lets me define a schedule every day. If I'm going out I can turn it down or off, and if I have guests over I can boost the hot water.

I suspect with AI we always will be in "this story (song, picture) is Ok" and never "is great" category. I recall the member of ABBA was asked whether they ever felt the song would be a hit. She (this was definitely either Agnetha or Anni-Frid) said that never except for "Dancing Queen". So the AI will be able to mimic ABBA-style, but it would struggle to create something like this song.

This narrative is counterfactual to how capitalism actually works. Your worth is determined by supply and demand. Investors would never agree to paying American developers twice as much as European developers if they knew they would be on the hook for them until their cash reserves bled dry.
I disagree, mostly because the password manager is more than just a place to store passwords. The origin binding also prevents you from typing the password on the wrong domain. For many people they’re probably more likely to get phished for a memorized password than pwned for a managed password.

Ask HN: What to prioritize as an SDE fresher? Money or Growth?
Hello, HN. I'm a final year undergrad (grad in June) at a "tier 1" Indian university.

I've to take a decision about joining a company as an FTE (SDE).

## The Options

- I interned at a fairly large corporation last summer and received an offer to join as an FTE after I graduate. My experience there was really not worth my time. Everything had friction. There was not enough work and every effort felt futile. Although, the compensation for the FTE role was decent and I soft-accepted the offer as a "backup".

- I've been interning at an alpha-product startup for around 4 months. I had a talk with their CEO today about possibility of joining as an FTE. I've really enjoyed working at this company. I have felt my skillset grow and the team is one of the bests I've worked with. They offered me a full-time position as well after I graduate. The catch is - the compensation is fairly less than what the aforementioned corporate is providing.

The startup team has already led a product from initiation to tremendous growth in the last few years and are focused on building their 2nd product. The company is really people-first and has a really growth-enabling environment. Since I am an early-stage member, I'll be granted equity as well if I join.

- One more choice is to keep looking for other jobs until I get something that's ideal.

Hope HN can help with the decision or at least provide me some points that I should keep in mind. Happy to provide more context if required.

## Extra context on compensation

- Being from this institution, I've seen people get decent packages without doing anything just by grinding Leetcode questions. I'm not a fan of how the system works but that's a different topic. You can tell it's an ego issue. I've worked my ass off in college - handling internships and coursework simultaneously. Graduating with a salary lower than the average student here doesn't feel right.

- The other thing is societal pressure. Turning down the previous offer in favor of the latter would not something my family or even some of the students here would understand as they think objectively in terms of monetary compensation.

Who doesn't want a better salary? But is it something I should focus on in my first full time job?

I don't see why this would make the experience better. Java has been a huge part of Android's success allowing for backwards compatibility in a smooth manner. Java should also be given credit for Android's stability, due to its lack of memory safety errors.

IMHO Google shouldn't pull-back from using Java (or Kotlin). Rust could be an option but that would certainly degrade Android's developer experience.

> Basically one does not work without the other.

This is true for high-level competition, but it's overly absolute for the rest of us. They both definitely work to some extent.

I think for the general public, the balance of high and low intensity training has to take into account how much time people are willing to dedicate to it. A friend of mine and I backpack together, and we both dedicate much more time to exercise than the average person, but much less time than a dedicate amateur. Call it three hours per week on average. My friend does exclusively low-intensity endurance training, because he dislikes anything else, and I do mostly strength and high-intensity training, for the same reason. I think it's plausible that given the limited hours we're willing to put in, my high-intensity training prepares me better for long-duration, low-intensity activity.

The data we have about endurance training comes from studies and dedicated athletes. A lot of people fall into the middle ground: not sedentary, and willing to put in more time than a study participant, but also not putting in 10+ hours of training per week like a competitive endurance athlete.

I wonder if there'll be a version that can be controlled by something less 'hacky' - maybe reading nerve signals to part of the hand.
This is a thing in Lua as well, with do-end blocks:

local foo
do
local bar = 42
-- Same as `foo = function() ... end`, so this sets the local foo variable.
function foo()
return bar
end
end

Because Lua has no significant whitespace, it can be made to look like some kind of specific syntax:

local foo do
local bar = 42
function foo()
return bar
end
end

Though I think this is too clever, so I like to insert a semi-colon to make it clear what is happening:

local foo; do
local bar = 42
function foo()
return bar
end
end
"X cents per charge cycle" is a bit simpler than the reality. The actual wear cost of charging/discharging a big EV battery is cheaper in the middle and more expensive at the extremes.

I already have to own a car for short trips most days and an occasional long trip. And when I'm not going on a long trip I have a lot of extra battery capacity that I can rent to the grid at extremely low (additional) cost to me.

A dedicated battery storage facility on the other hand has to justify the entire price of the battery.

I think what they’re talking about is the amp-hour measure of battery capacity, which is common in electronics, but converting to actual energy requires knowing the voltage.

> Delaying charging till later is free. So another car owner's car might see on the futures market that delaying charging starting from 6pm till 11pm might save a few cents.

Yeah, I think that's far more likely. I can also see the possibility of a grid-mandated signal for "please, stop charging for five minutes, we're at capacity".
One could argue that Android vendors intentionally refuse to support low end Android devices after the sale to force users to buy another device every year.
I think that it is just overcomplicating it for the beginner. What happens when beginner cant continue or it hurts is that beginner will take a break until he/she can continue. I dont think beginner with no trainer to push him would overdo it till fainting.

With a form, if you are going to claim that everyone must start with personal trainer to correct their crunches or squats form, pretty much no one will start exercising anymore. That is just going to be too expensive and time consuming. And among people I know who regularly exercise, none of them started with a trainer.
This is such an impressive feat of engineering. Excellent job. I have no doubt this will be a hit. It wouldn't surprise me if MSFT just decided to make you an offer for it.

Patient: hmm

Dr: And finally, cut out sugar, don't eat so much and do a lot more excercise

Patient: Ok ok ok, and will I then live to 100?

Dr: Eh... probably not but, it will feel like it.
That's the great thing about choice: you can choose your price! But it sounds like V1G might be a better choice for you instead of V2G.

The economics don't work out at the monthly average rate. That's why storage only kicks in when spot prices are well above average.

> without making your calorie intake less than your expenditure you will not loose weight.

I’ve never believed this — only because my weight is so consistent and my eating is not. My body must have a way to regulate the absorption of calories from the gut. When I have some insanely high calorie meal, my body doesn’t necessarily absorb all the calories. This seems easy to measure, so I must be wrong. Or…

> here are abundant reasons why Google would want a non-Linux operating system internally.

You may be in the right, but I personally don't see no reason for it. Linux is the best supported operating system in the world and Google always has the option to alter the OS if need be.

I do believe Fuchsia is vastly more secure and stabler than Linux, which could be a benefit, but Google isn't exactly being pilfered by miscreants on a daily basis, so that benefit is in doubt.

House batteries are never purchased in isolation. They're what amounts to a luxury add-on to a much bigger solar system, so you'd expect to see a "markup". That may change with the recent rollback of net metering in CA, which is making a battery system a requirement to reach break even on cost.
Yup. They’ll be getting paid a nice markup to charge their batteries cheaply during the day and sell it to you at night.
From your source:

> this suggests an average of just under 18 trips per car every week.

So cars on average are used multiple times a day. OP's claim that most cars aren't used is ludicrous.
How do you do, fellow kids!

Of course I think the point isn't to look 18, although I'm sure they'd pay an extra million of that was an option. I myself feel I understand the desire to want to stay youthful longer, but I'd only want to do so if I could enjoy it. I question how many of these ultra-wealthy are actually enjoying life as much as a nobody who gets to spend most of their time fishing in their boat and not be bothered by anyone.

If I was a billionaire, I'd be more interesting in having some aspect of my brain rebooted. Some aspects of ageing can be staved off through diet and exercise, so I feel like spending millions to not even look younger is of limited value. What I would like is to experience that "spark" of being a young inexperienced brain that's capable of learning new things fast and finding novelty in the world. If I was a billionaire and I could pay to trigger a new "critical period" in my brain, I'd probably do it.
Man, don't argue with these people. They have hate toward all Arabs for some reason.
If V2G is economically unattractive for car owners to participate, they won't. That's fine but everyone involved knows that. Peak power costs the utilities a substantial factor over base load power generation. There's no reason to think that the market will settle on "a retail kWh plus 20%" rather than on "2-4x a retail kWh".

For $0.04/kWh, I'm not the least bit interested. For $0.40/kWh, I'm probably indifferent. For $1/kWh, I'll buy another car (or fixed battery) just to participate in this scheme.

I clicked on the link agreeing with you and came back disagreeing. Maybe I wouldn't have thought "an LLM made this", but the story is disjointed in a way that makes no sense for a children's book. The structure is all wrong.

-> Hedgehog making bread
-> Loves making bread
-> One day bread stolen
-> Butter everywhere
-> Hedgehog sets out to find culprit
-> Finds culprit
-> Opens butter themed amusement park with culprit
-> The End

There is no overlapping theme or logic to the story. Children's book will have some form of gimmick and stick to it (young humans aren't all that bright) so you can have a baker hedgehog that encounters adversity (bread is gone) and maybe tie it in with a human culprit (bread thief, didn't say please or something), but the butter amusement park is out of place and uncanny.

This really only makes sense for short-term, emergency storage: IE, if a major power plant suddenly goes offline, calling on EVs to push power back into the grid for 10-60 seconds. This is enough time for things like pumped storage and quick start generators to come online. (It also wouldn't cause noticeable wear.)

Likewise, even disabling charging for a short-term, emergency 10-60 second period might be more practical. Feeding back into the grid requires additional complexity / hardware that could add cost to the consumer.

For day-to-day storage: As soon as someone goes to use their EV in the morning, and they find out that the battery isn't full, they're going to turn it off.

Every bank app I've looked at here is full of annoying spyware and plugs for third party services. Even on the home screen.

Apparently they do not think anything is wrong with taking an app that is supposed to be your personal wallet, and putting ads in it. Watch you can't turn off, and which keot growing. I complained, but they never did anything. And yes, putting integration for third party services that you can't turn off and which appear right between your own accounts, those are ads, and someone is making money off that.

So I stopped using it. They can go f themselves. It's bad enough that they charge you to hold on to your own money... but worse, they don't even treat you as the customer anymore.
