It's easy to underestimate just how difficult it is to get your context indexed and ranked well. Personally I was under the delusion that if you make a solid website, you'll get some organic visitors through search engines from people searching related terms. Turns out that might well be wrong. In the first few months of launching my fairly serious effort website I received a total of 3 organic visitors. While proper SEO and link spamming would surely get me some more, I found it disappointing enough I just gave up
T1D patients use both types if they are self-injecting. The long acting covers your basal rate (baseline) and the fast acting covers carbs you eat.

Or if you have a pod or pump then you can use only the rapid acting and the software will drip it slowly to cover your basal need over the 24h.

Trying to use just the fast acting with self-injections doesn’t work because you go high overnight while you’re sleeping, and even during the day you would have to be injecting every 3 hours to keep up. (E.g. when your pump controller dies on vacation and all you have on hand is rapid-acting)

Source: I have two kids with T1D.
I understand the sentiment and why it might come across that way, but we genuinely have gotten a lot more reasonable pointers in these comments than we were able to rack our brains about. And it seems like SEO attacks, Bing incompetence, and Bing actually going after some terms (like Chrome) actually have happened, and the main point here was that we genuinely don't get any feedback from Bing.
So I think the issue is that people with more money are taking on more responsibilities (more expensive house / car etc). This makes it harder for them to take sabbaticals.

The mistake is when those same people then claim that someone making the same money without the same responsibilities is privileged.

It is a very odd position to hold. I’m not privileged just because someone else decided to take on the maximum amount of debt that was available to them.
I guess my comment was a bit of an axe-grind rather than a response to your statement. I saw "paradox of tolerance" and was triggered.

To clarify, I find it frustrating when people justify the government making laws that limit or take away existing freedoms by claiming that they are "preventing intolerance". I believe that laws are, first and foremost, justifications for the government to use force against you, and no government in the history of mankind has ever given a single shit about "preventing intolerance". They care about keeping the rich rich and the working class oppressed and powerless.

To your point, I completely disagree, and think it's extremely naive. Tyrannical governments seem to be the default because it's the easiest way for the powerful to control the powerless, which is the fundamental purpose of most governments throughout history.
That keeps coming up, but it is a bad idea in general.

Batteries are big and heavy. However they are made up of lots of individual cells. So as a car designer you really want to place individual cells around other parts of the car that cannot go anywhere.

You cannot put the front wheels of a car in the trunk - no matter how much better you think the car would look, there are physical reasons for where they go and how much space they take up... Place the cells around all the big things where they fit, and you can get a lot more in.

There are a lot of other design considerations for a car that are helped by the ability to put cells where you want.

For the average person the engineering advantages of not having a standard pack are better handling, more cargo space/legroom, and longer range: this is more valuable than the ability to swap batteries.
This is a very insightful article and shows similar thinking to my own right now. Thanks for sharing
I bought a little at the low (but didn't have much money to play with at the time, so we're talking extremely small potatoes all around) but also put quite a bit (relatively) into Freddie, reckoning they'd also pop back plenty fast with government intervention.

Whoops.
>The AI identified 20,515 signals of interest, which the researchers had to inspect manually. Of those, eight had the characteristics of technosignatures and couldn’t be attributed to radio interference.

The obvious question being, if the AI is so smart why was it necessary to use humans to check 20,515 signals to find the eight with the "characteristics of technosignatures"?

> You would want a USB-C connector so you can drive every device you own with one cable.

Its far too early to claim USB-C will be the final version of USB cabling? Looking around, I have devices that use

USB Type B (Scanner)

USB Mini B (charging wireless keyboard),

USB Micro B (PS4 controller, Fire Tablet, Arduinos/Raspi),

USB 3.0 Type A (Flash Drives),

USB 3.0 Type B (Astro camera),

USB 3.0 Micro B (SATA->USB device),

Many of these end with a USB Type A, but not all.

And of course, the "final version", USB-C (Oculus, Pixel, Macbook). And I have a bunch of USBA-USB-C cables and converting plugs.

And of course I have lightning devices, some older than the USB Type B Scanner.
MacOS manages better than Windows as well. Apple seems to have really good memory management. I don’t know enough to know what they are doing, but in day to day tasks it always feels like a Mac/ iPhone needs half as much memory to feel responsive. Memory intensive work, such as video editing still require what they require though.

> This hasn’t worked for lithium batteries, partly because so many formats exist. “These batteries are all over the place in different sizes,” he said. A related challenge is that the technology for lithium batteries changes rapidly — every one to two years, he said.

(edit: I found a working link to the article: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s41745-021-00269-7)

Apple is not throwing lithium batteries into landfills, and it is the one doing the replacement. Tesla is definitely not doing this, so what is left?

Probably those lithium rechargeable batteries you can buy on Amazon?

> DELETE THE CHAT HISTORY AFTER 24 HOURS because of some sort of perverse, contrived "security" issue.

Seems much more likely to be due to legal reasons than for security. If the chats are not retained, they can't be found in discovery. (And given chat is even more informal than email, people probably say a lot of things they shouldn't in chat).
In his short story Understand, he talks about two superintelligent individuals who are having high bandwidth conversations. Maybe ChatGPT and Bard are those bespoke intelligent agents.

We continue. We are like two BARDs, each cueing the other to extemporize another stanza, jointly composing an epic poem of knowledge. Within moments we accelerate, talking over each other's words but hearing every nuance, until we are absorbing, concluding, and responding, continuously, simultaneously, synergistically.
You’re by far the most interesting person in this thread - I’ve been coding up a Warhammer 40k (symbolic) AI for a while, but I bet chatgpt could blow it out of the water…
Ah, I miss the view of someone that has never worked outside of startups or technology sectors.
Five years from now, I think we will not see "remote only" for a large company and think "ooh, they value their employees I guess", but rather, "uh oh, they like to think of their employees as being like virtual servers, easy to spin up and easy to shut down the moment you don't need to pay for that capacity".

That's basically how the movie industry has always worked. Why keep people on your books when you're not actively in production? It's one of those cases where organized labor seems to work out well for all sides. The unions provide talent and craft support when/where it's needed, then they go away when the work is done.

It'll be interesting to see if more industries are able to adopt a similar model. Similar incentives exist, but a company that makes software or hardware isn't an on-again, off-again concern like film production.
We're talking about DEI, it's already in the picture. How can we discuss diversity and inclusion without considering the needs of minority groups?

What makes you say 'rich minority'? Can you really treat a group of millions of people as a monolith and say they're all rich and don't need help?
That seems like a more reasonable policy if you've ever had your email/chat logs subpoenaed. If that stuff's auto deleted, then it's easier to have open discussions there, but yeah, no history.

It does change one's usage model.
I want whatever you're smoking. Outlook is the poster child for overengineered software. It's the pointy end of Microsoft's attempt to make their software be all things to all IT department buyers' checklists.

I simply do not return to a restaurant where the server holds the POS screen in front of you at the table for all to see. Usually the tip is pre-selected for something like 25%. Clicking "custom" and choosing a different amount is intended to make you feel embarrassed.

Another place is counter service. They want a tip right after you order and are paying. Haven't even tried the food. No idea how the service is going to be.....and you want a tip....based on what?

These places will not see me again.
Quite a broad generalization. Sounds like people who don't have an actual plan for their money other than to have more of it. The kind of person who retires and realizes they don't even know what to do now that they aren't striving for that $$$.
I think you highlighted it though.

There is a spectrum of science.

In the middle there are the hard verifiable objective things. And on the ends are subjective or unprovable theories.

The goal is to increase that middle band over time.

Science, scientific papers, scientists, universities have always been subject to weaponizing in the past. Tell me... Are eggs good for you or not?
Euthanasia is much more common than usually admitted.

If someone is dying of cancer in age care, they're in great pain, in out of consciousness etc, it is quite common for an overdose of morphine to be delivered by a nurse once family have had a chance to visit.

The nurse will state something like "we delivered pain relief but their body couldn't take any more".

Not all situations are the same, but a lot of ways of dying are very painful. Many grieving families are often not in a position to make a decision or even really understand how to have a conversation about it.

I wish that as a society we could be broadly more open and realistic about this.
Disclaimer: I posted this link -- and hosted the discussion!

To the best of my knowledge (and I would love to be proven wrong!), this is the first time an engineering team has gone on the record with their warts-and-all experience with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and safety compliance testing. If you have never heard of compliance before or have no idea what any of this could possibly be about, you're guaranteed to learn something about the world of devices around you. And if you have dealt with EMC: you know how wild and unpredictable the process can be -- and I think you'll enjoy hearing some of our own harrowing details. Either way, this is a technically meaty discussion that I think the HN demographic will enjoy!
No, the submission packages for anything chronically administered (like insulin follow-on) are way more comprehensive.

a lot of street lamps had a socket in London; but then they're on 230v 10A. with 110v 10A in colder areas it's probably just enough to keep the battery pack warm...
Apple’s secret sauce is their long-term focus, colored strongly by their many awful experiences being held hostage by CPU manufacturers. They’ve re-architected their entire software stack on multiple occasions to deal with manufacturing partners who could no longer keep up.

For example, it was a big deal when they moved from IBM/Motorola to Intel, and Macs started getting much faster right away. A decade later and Intel is struggling to keep up at the high end, woefully behind in low-power contexts, and Apple is again hamstrung in their plans.

So at some point they decided to make their own chips. Well, to design them, and to use their leverage with TMSC to get them made exclusively. It’s true that they have fewer dependencies than a more general-purpose manufacturer like Intel, but don’t discount the many years they’ve spent eating shit while waiting for their “partners” to catch up. In the CPU space, they’ll never do that again.

I tried a few times over the years saving money by not buying Apple, all ended up in frustration. I hope the competition catches up with Apple because I would love having options even if I stick with Apple.

How about we make them liable for damages if someone buys a house in an area they claim to support? That might actually get these cheating ISPs to change.
> Send me some of your (public) code to read!

That's a bit difficult, as most of my work is proprietary, under NDA or aerospace.

Here's an excerpt from a C control panel menu processor, just to show how far I go. One line of active code vs. 21 lines of comments. This was written 16 years ago. I can get back into this codebase almost instantly because of the documentation. More importantly, code reuse is also very easy for the same reason.

case BUTTON_ENTER:
// ENTER button clicked
//
// This has the effect of calling the "DURING" handler for the currently selected
// menu.
//
// ***NOTE***
// It is the responsibility of the ON_ENTRY handler to decide whether or not
// to capture the message loop by asserting "state_handler_wants_priority"
//
// Once done with the message loop "state_handler_wants_priority" should be cleared,
// typically in the ON_EXIT routine
//
// It is up to the handler to do something (or not) with messages.
//
// Parent menus do not generally do much because they are navigation
// stopping points and their messages are fully handled by the menu_processor() parser.
//
// Child menus that are not parents and, therefore, perform a function,
// might want to do some work before the menu_processor() parser by capturing messages
// before they are delivered to the menu_processor() parser.
//
dispatch_handler(current_state, DURING);

I also like to do this sort of thing, in this case, Verilog code from a custom FPGA-based SDRAM controller:

// COMMAND TABLE ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Use the following template for assignment of SDRAM commands from this table:

// | | | |

parameter COMMAND_PRE = {1'b0, 1'b0, 1'b1, 1'b0};
parameter COMMAND_REF = {1'b0, 1'b0, 1'b0, 1'b1};
parameter COMMAND_LMR = {1'b0, 1'b0, 1'b0, 1'b0};
parameter COMMAND_IOEN = {1'b0, 1'b0, 1'b0, 1'b0};
parameter COMMAND_IODIS = {1'b0, 1'b0, 1'b0, 1'b0};

parameter MODE_REGISTER_DEFAULT = 14'b000000_0_011_0_111; // CAS length = 3

It's surprising to see so much news about France on HN.

Today in France solar panels provide between 10 and 15GWh, while France needs 550TWh.

The law's objective is to multiply by ten the production capacity of solar energy by 2050, to exceed 100GWh. This law makes it mandatory for the private sector to finance the installation of solar panels.

At the same time French state can't finance it as it is broke since many years: Each year it must borrow half of what it earns through taxes.

The French State also wants to build 7 EPR nuclear power plants even if it has never been able to deliver even one to France. This French EPR has been now under construction for 15 years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPR_(nuclear_reactor)#Flamanvi...

The French state intends to use the money from saving accounts (Livret A) which are normally used for social housing to pay for these new EPRs.
Which publicity stunt?

My main gripe was that each notification was a separate bar item that I had to clear out - five messages from the same person in the same app, is five notification bars in the menu. And the "smart" grouping I don't think fixes that.

I like MacOS okay, but re: notifications, they too have this abysmally small "X" to clear out notifications. They're just... annoying.
Hate to say it, but this fits me a lot right now (sans the family part). I really need to skill-up and start looking for a new gig.
Only if the want to go: there is a solid process for determining consent. First, the applicant must pass an interview with a social worker. This is followed by interviews with two independent doctors.

Finally, the day of, anyone accompanying the family is asked to wait while “the lines are put in”. The wait is far longer than the time required to put in lines: they interview the patient again, this time to ensure that they are there of their own volition and not being pressured by the people accompanying them.

The entire is graceful and professional.

You should put solar panels on your roof just because the sunlight hitting your roof otherwise goes to waste. If you put solar in a field that competes with any other sunlight uses of the field. (solar over a parking lots makes sense)
Car dealerships have full lots again, but other than that it doesn't really seem like things are slowing down at all.

Kids had a playdate last week. The other dad works for an industrial machine manufacturer and said that they were completely booked out until late 2024. They are still getting calls asking about lead time; when they say 2 years for delivery, they are still getting a signed contract and massive deposit.
Different strokes for different folks. I would rather the excitement in my life didn't come from my job as much as possible.
> If I recall correctly, Cessna was found infinitely liable for every plane manufactured, meaning that each new plane off the assembly line increased their potential overall liability without liability over decades-old planes expiring and decreasing it.

To continue along these lines- If the bank fails everyone looses their jobs. Rich executives will be fine and as it goes down the line the negative impact gets worse.

If the government bails out the bank it's saving some jobs and is it possible to make some of that investment back?

There's a reason the turnover rate at all of his companies is very high. Not exactly the easiest or nicest guy to work for.

His companies have succeeded despite him, because they have the right people at the helm leading operations (example: Shotwell at SpaceX).

Musk at Twitter gives you a glimpse as to why he was fired from PayPal 2 decades ago.
Presumably, because it filtered through orders of magnitude more than that.
I worked at a company that used Teams for video conferencing and Slack for chat. The fact that they specifically said "Teams for video conferencing" reminded me of that.

To be honest, it's not awful if you're only using it for that.
> The main effect is that you lose the trust of the top performers. These will be the in the lookout for new opportunities the day after the layoffs are done. If you cut 10%, expect 10% from the top to flee within a couple of years.

I've been through one of the tech layoffs that happened during the pandemic, so N=1 and all, but this was exactly what happened.

On the day of the layoffs, few top performers were affected. It was a classic layoff with an HR email and immediate lockout. Managers of affected people learned later. Some people learned they were being laid off after hearing it in mainstream media first.

After 6 months, many best performers (more than 10% in my opinion) have left after struggling with low morale. A lot of company knowledge was lost, portions of the codebase became unmaintainable, projects went from being certainly doable to being in perpetual uncertainty about cancellation. The responsibilities of the the top performers fell on less experienced people, some received promotions but buckled under the pressure in disruptive ways.

Two years later, the company is still rebuilding but has obvious competency gaps. There was also difficulty in filling them because HR was disproportionally affected by layoffs. The distrust in management persists and more than a few people are openly talking about leaving. Though the hiring in tech has cooled down which had a chilling effect on people leaving, too.
