> Companies could do their job

This is quite a naive view of how the world works.

Their actual “job” is to make the most amount of money possible.

A realistic option has to be one that is both technically superior and something a company is incentivised to do.
Humans are, in many ways, in many places, the best, least expensive robot. To me the bottleneck is not technology, it's the labor market.

Basic human labor planetwide is generally not expensive enough for full automation yet. This is not lost on an HR-heavy company like Amazon that employs over a million humans.

Such an equilibrium is a long way away too. We are systemically undervaluing the life energy of our species, en masse.

I mainly use twitter to keep tabs on some artists and none of them want to move. Reading this, maybe it is for the best. My follows would create a lot of overhead for wherever it is I park my account compared to someone who just participates in text.
Is that actually faster? You're saving the (small) overhead of an extra function, but you're adding a new function call. Certainly in the context of an SQL query (which will take milliseconds at the least) I wouldn't expect a few nanoseconds to matter.

The key to the success of Rick and Morty is that it's a very subversive show, sometimes to the point of being disturbing. Its embrace of comedic nihilism undermines classic sitcom tropes in much the way The Simpsons did when it was new. I always got the impression that this stemmed in no small part from Justin Roiland. It's not exactly a surprise that someone with so little regard for social convention turned out to have untenable personal attributes, but I wonder if Rick and Morty will continue to have "bite" without him.

That said, if it also results in the exorcism of Rick and Morty's more toxic subtexts ("it's fine to be an asshole if you're smart" and "most people are dull and provincial and their concerns deserve ridicule"), it's probably a net win. We shall see.
> - Mount volumes in your dev container

> - Pass environment variables from the host to containers

> - Specify which containers will be ran in a docker-compose definition and which one will host the vs code server

Docker compose yaml files are pretty cool to define these.

Whereas these are just asking for trouble/non-reproducible docker environment and could be part of container definitions:

> - Run commands after the container is built

> - Use arbitrary flags in docker run / docker build / docker-compose

The UX that you mention on the other hand is pretty cool:

Devcontainer files are also neat from an UX pov because new devs can just click on "open remote" and wait. I've been using this feature since 2019 and it did wonders for project onboarding.

> ...he’s reduced his overall biological age by...

Without even looking, I'm almost certain the way they technically define "biological age" is misleading, and it resembles what most people think of when they hear "age" like an apple resembles an orange.
Surprisingly, Apple built-in password manager. They have Chrome extension for windows (but not for Mac OS Chrome, unfortunately)
There's a lot of truth in what you're saying. But maybe they use calorie intake to mean "calories actually absorbed by your body", and not "calories present in the food you put into your mouth"? Just generally speaking it would be difficult to believe that calory absorption doesn't depend on anything.
>Audio transcription is not currently available.

My theory on this is that it would confuse the dataset having to both transcribe and then "understand" what was asked. By reducing this single variable [which we all know is technically already possible: audio transcription], the dataset is allowing itself to be trained with less initial noise.
Yes, the first ETH Report about Modula-2 appeared in 1978, around the time Lisa Pascal was developed; the latter refers to the Jensen/Wirth 1975 Pascal edition. I don't know whether there were contacts between Apple and Wirth before Clascal. Not to forget that Tesler came from PARC where they had Mesa, so he had the same source as Wirth had.
Basic laws of physics is a misnomer. If I consume gasoline which has calories in the physics sense (31,000kcal/gal), it doesn't affect my weight. CICO is a broken model because it doesn't account for this.

It can't, because the distribution fee is an amortized cost of having distribution infrastructure built. Since that infrastructure still needs to exist regardless of where you get your energy (and in fact needs to be upgraded to handle bidirectional consumer/producers), EV storage won't bypass it regardless of where the EV and the consumer is physically located.

If you consume what you store, then you will charge up at low (production prices + distribution fees) for the times when (production prices + distribution fees) are high. The second term is constant so you are arbitraging on production prices.

If you’re looking to project your phone screen onto the iPad, I don’t think that’s ever worked. I have a newer iPhone and iPad running the same OS and they can’t do that either. Only Apple TV boxes and macs can act as screen mirroring targets without third party assistance.

As for the hotspot, I don’t see why the old iPad shouldn’t be able to connect to your phone’s wifi as long as you have “Maximize compatibility” enabled. I think I’ve had circa 2008 devices connect to my phone that way but I’ll have to test to see if I’m misremembering or not.

> This is not a meme but basic physics.

The issue is: How are we defining calories IN?

Consider the extreme example of having a parasitic worm living in your digestive system. Is IN == [food passing mouth] or is IN == [food not being ingested by worm(s)]?

Now consider "normal" digestive flora. How are we defining IN here?
do you feel the same about DevOps? or any other Dev* movement? is it somehow less legitimate because it's more touchy-feeley-people-y (its ok if it does, just have to be honest about it)?

I might want a car with 300 miles charge for vacations, but most of the time be making trips to the grocery store. The grid might only dip into my car's battery for a 15-30 minutes at a time to prevent brown-outs while power plants spin up.

There are plenty of scenarios where the EV makes more sense than a dedicated battery for it.

> He is one of the leading academics in the field of endurance. His results clearly demonstrate that a "polarised" approach with at least 80% low intensity work yields superior results [..]

(Sorry, I have to ask) but results in what?

It sounds like there's a risk of focussing on (endurance) athletes, not on unfit sedentary desk workers. Talking about which of the former benefits most from which particular training methodology could be missing the point, which is that it's the latter who are the group who really need to get off our backsides to improve our general health.

In other words, getting a few extra % of performance out of already fit people is of interest to a minority, but is irrelevant as far as public health policy is concerned.
I always find it weird when people use the name "Mjolnir" for their products. In mythology it is a botched product. The reason why it looks like a sledge hammer with a short handle, is because it is. In the myth Loki pulled shenanigans while it was being forged so now Thor can't use the handle for leverage to give a full power blow with it.

HTTP request handlers are self-contained (or rather, should be), and more analogous to a process on a system than a function call. Bringing down the entire application is akin to bringing down the entire OS because one process segfaults.

Most panics are small stupid things localized to a specific piece of code, like nil dereference or slice out of bounds, and not indicative of some global process state being messed up.

hello HN, after months of beta testing we're excited to launch acreom for mobile!

We are building acreom to be the markdown knowledge base with tasks you will enjoy using as a developer.

Here are some key principles which make acreom different from other .md editors and note taking tools.

At the core of acreom lies its capture-first organise-later interface, allowing you to capture ideas, tasks and issues as well as access your knowledge base quickly. The mobile apps went through 24 iterations in beta to inherit this experience.

Secondly, our goal with acreom is to integrate markdown with tasks really well to make organising and tracking your development work easier. You can use it to capture tech knowledge base, create projects, break down large engineering tasks and track progress.

These interactions are now supported on mobile while you are on the go.

acreom started as a web app side project developed by a few friends. Last year we shipped an electron desktop app to make acreom local-first which we wanted for ourselves. Electron often gets bad rap for it's performance though we have put a considerable amount of effort to make the app fast, responsive and lean especially on large vaults. It turned out to be a great decision for us and allowed us ship faster.

The mobile apps take acreom one step closer to being a local-first software with sync and collaboration.

The mobile apps together with sync and desktop apps are free and acreom is interoperable with other plain text .md editors which makes

it easy to try it out. No account is required and there's no lock-in.

we would love to get your feedback.

try it on: https://acreom.com/mobile

>What happened to ‘innocent until proven guilty’?

We don't know what internal conversations looked like at Adult Swim. We don't know if, or of not, they are aware of anything else that may have happened that encouraged them to make this decision. I'm not saying anything did - the point is, we don't know their reasoning, but we should assume that the decision wasn't made lightly.
It would be pretty easy to remove "kill everyone except me" as one of those options, if we thought it was worth it (which again, it probably isn't). Just mandate that an override switch for the life support systems be accessible in the passenger compartment.

Here is the specification for the latest version of the original Oberon language (also called Oberon-07):

http://miasap.se/obnc/oberon-report.html
The executives have to be paid large salaries by the shareholders so that they'll put shareholders interests well above those of company employees and customers. This allows them to justify overriding their normal human connection with their employees, and replacing any tendency towards co-worker loyalty with shareholder loyalty. Of course that also justifies treating customers as poorly as possible - just not so poorly that they stop coming back (although if they can monopolize an industry, customers will have nowhere else to go - see broadband providers, etc.).

This is a primary reason why investment capitalism is such a destructive economic system in the long run. Shareholders tend to want to extract as much profit from the company in a short a time as possible; the long-term health of the company and their customers is generally not their primary concern.
> I’ve never believed this — only because my weight is so consistent and my eating is not.

That's only one side of the equation.

It is a basically proven fact (and largely implied by physics) that `calorie intake - expenditure = net weight change`. That is pretty much beyond dispute.

It is also true that some things affect expenditure, and it seems likely that most people have a "set point" that your body attempts to return to. This is also almost certainly changeable, as people have managed to change it in the past. (And this is less surely true than other things known.)

So yes, it's entirely possible to eat "inconsistently" and not have net weight change, your body is probably subconciously causing you to eat less after you eat large meals, and vice versa. Or possibly causing you to expend more energy after large meals.

I had my gut microbiota sequenced twice. The results were not actionable at all, because there is very little knowledge about what constitutes a healthy microbiome. Those tests are great entertainment if you're curious about the subject. But that's about it.

Definitely not. Computer engineers are famously humble and rational
It’s more nuanced than that:

1. Someone making $200k is definitely doing well compared to almost anyone in the US (94th percentile, 98th at $300k) but those salaries are heavily clustered in very expensive areas where that might not even be the top 10%. Someone making that much working at Apple or Google is living in a normal house - a nice one, sure, but not a mansion - and still feeling things like childcare costs.

2. That tech worker has to go to work every day. If they get sick, their income will end just like someone making coffee or pulling packages in a warehouse - to be clear, not as quickly and there are more conditions they can keep working with, but their income is derived by selling their time. Contrast that with the truly rich, who have passive income and enough assets that things rearrange around their needs. Someone with $10M in the bank isn’t homeless if they get a chronic illness, and if they own the company (or are related to the owner) they get as much time off as they need to deal with it.

Nobody should feel sorry for tech workers but it’s important to look at how people’s lives differ, especially in the United States where things like healthcare and retirement are linked to their ability to work.
There was an episode of Tales From the Crypt with this plot. To seduce a young attractive woman, an old rich man gives more and more money to trade his old features with those of a good looking bodybuilder. Of course, it ends with him being good looking and poor and her marrying the guy he swapped places with while everyone laughs at him.

I don't think he's replaceable. It's like house of cards without Kevin Spacey. Actually even worse, one of the best episodes was an episode completely voiced by Justin, of an entire society, and he managed to play so many different personalities of the same character. Never seen this level of voice acting.

It was pretty obvious that he's got issues. Had a scene where a writer literally confesses that he has bad tendencies and channels it all into his work (the gazorpazorp episode).

It's kind of sad that society and cancel culture don't allow bad people to do good things. If those were workplace allegations you really can't let someone like that work, but that's not the case.

I'm all in favor of him both losing most of his money to compensate his victims and continuing to work on Rick and Morty. But society can't handle nuance, and the mob judges people instead of actions. Literally nothing good happened as a result of this cancellation. Just blind mob justice.

People aren't black and white, bad people can do some good things and everyone sins. He deserves a punishment fitting his crime, and the purpose of the punishment isn't vengeance. If an action is good there's nothing morally wrong with letting a bad person do it.
I see a possible contradiction between 2 common arguments I see regarding AI image generation:

a - ip laws don't apply to AI because it is learning from many examples, like a human does (here AI is a human)

b - I retain copyright because I am just using a tool (here AI is not a human)

It does not seem consistent to have both.

It's not an expectation that a book will be a masterpiece of storytelling. Take the very hungry caterpillar, it has the simplest premise:

There is no reason to subsidize energy companies. They are operating renewable power plants, which have intermittency issues, they should be solving this problem. I don't see any reason why I should be part of their problem of their own making.
> The key is that you need a UI setting for "Immediately charge to X%" and "Charge to Y% by Z:00." This avoids the problem where you find yourself without enough charge to get to work (or the local hospital).

I would be happy to let the grid operator decide when to charge my EV, especially if I could inform them when I wanted charge by and have an override button to be ready for road trip departures.

I wonder how long it will be before the grid operators are subsidizing parking lot operators and businesses to install tons of smart L2 chargers so commuter vehicles are absorbing all the excess solar power available mid-day that would otherwise go to waste.
