It partially depends on your climate. I’m in Portland, Maine, so for us, we have a natural gas furnace with radiators, but they’re heavily supplemented by a few heat pumps. For us, the temperature frequently gets very low in the winter, sub 10°F, and this is the point when heat pumps aren’t as efficient. An ideal set up in a small home could be heat pumps running off solar and a woodstove for when it gets really really cold.
We had a similar link yesterday, in which there was one major flaw in the methodology:

Windows 11, when set up, tires to load everything including the "Widgets." The Widgets, however, are not a native Windows app - the Widgets interface is actually just a Microsoft Edge WebView2, which loads a page from Bing. And, as a web wrapper, it also loads in all of Bing's telemetry that would normally apply to Bing searches, specifically for that wrapper.

If you try using Wireshark with Windows Widgets disabled, you can expect very different results.

Edit: Also, for people who didn't get my point, if you open the "News and Weather" section of Windows 10, that means you will almost certainly see similar Wireshark output. Thus the methodology is actually pointless for telling us how much Windows 11 vs 10 natively track - the only difference this establishes is that Windows 11 tries to load Widgets on first boot when Windows 10 waits for first click.
To repeat again (see me earlier reply to you), I'm questioning the tone and implied assumptions of those conveying the idea this is an acceptable solution for the majority of the population of even developed countries.
What does any of this have to do with you thinking code reviews are worthless and slows down velocity? A whole reply of strawman arguments while tossing in the word 'milquetoast' doesn't make it intelligent.

As others have pointed out: code reviews exist for many complex projects even outside of these big companies. Code reviews existed before these companies.
> Money above the cap would be "swept" into a customer's commercial bank account given that a digital pound would not be a means for storing wealth, he told members of UK Finance, a banking industry body.

So digital money that can be destroyed at-will by the central government AND it's not even a "store of wealth" now?

What possible positive use would anyone currently without wealth want with this garbage? People of the UK need to get out from under this ASAP.
In the US most freelancers have their own LLC and technically that company is contracted and pays them as an employee to do the work. Not sure what the equivalent in UK is, but that's maybe what these companies are looking for?

I mean, yes, this is true, but it doesn't follow that times never actually get worse.

This is a case where, at least in certain respects, times are provably getting worse than they were before.

If politics are too fuzzy and nebulous for you, look at generational economics: I don't recall the precise figures off the top of my head, but the baby boomers are still holding wealth vastly disproportionate to their share of the demographics, and younger generations have vastly less income and wealth than they did at the same time in their lives, while over the same period, prices of many important things—like homes, health care, and higher education—have all risen much faster than the rate of inflation. The kind of house that someone working minimum wage could have afforded in 1960, they'd now need a white-collar job (probably requiring a college degree) and several years of savings to buy.

You can't just handwave all of that away as "eh, people have complained about times getting worse since the Ancient Greeks".
Finally! A brave champion for the poor beleaguered corporations!
To be clear, in the UK, setting up a Ltd company is incredibly simple and easy to maintain.

It costs £12 and takes about 20min to create. Then you get a bank account with startling/monzo which is very simple (easier than high st banks). All tax is done online which again is fairly simple. Sign up for freeagent (or another accounting package) and just keep on top of your accounts. When it comes to filing your annual accounts and confirmation statement, again its all incredibly simple and can be done yourself without the need for an accountant as you'll qualify for mico-entity accounts and freeagent handles it for you. Or you can pay roughly £1200-£1500/yr to an accountant and have them do it for you.

Its honestly not hard at all, happy to answer anyones questions on the matter.
Somebody's been playing too much minecraft.
> It's not as hard to use correctly as people pretend it is (though I admit that years of experience and studying are required)

The original statement and the one in parens are directly at odds with each other. If every C++ dev requires years of experience and studying to use correctly, it follows that they have left years worth of code that is not done correctly in their wake. Also, no other (non-esoteric) language requires this high a barrier to write correctly.

> if you can use it relatively well you can write safe code without much trouble

And yet there isn't a single large C++ project that doesn't suffer from violations of memory safety - the one class of bugs that we know how to eliminate completely, if using a proper runtime system.
It's a great way to lessen the demand on fossil fuels and the power grid.

Based on LibTorrent, Lots of features, easy customization, web UI is consistent and stable, API is easy enough to work with.

Plus it generally works everywhere I need it to - as a GUI app (across all major OSes), a web app, or a terminal app. So I can just dump it on whatever machine I'm using without having to think very hard.

Transmission is also fine, but it kinda felt like it was stalled out for a bit - missing features, some ui bugs, not much movement around it. So I switched to Deluge and haven't really had a reason to move anywhere else.
But android took linux, which has a copyleft GPL license.

So the argument "use a copyleft license or get your work stolen like android" doesn't really work. You'd need to argue that you need a strong copyleft license. Which is a tougher argument to make, because people dislike those more.

lol yes, the social implications are horrible for this kind of work but I'd say more so for dissidents, journalists, and so on rather than porn.

Projects that are at the intersection of life sciences and machine learning are rarely interesting along both axes, it's always novel on one side and the other side is just there to make it seem cool.
For example you'll find a lot of ML scientists investigating medical issues but lacking the basic medical knowledge to actually make an impact, similarly you'll see doctors using neural networks where a linear regression would do. In both cases the paper seems novel to the people in the field it's being published in.

The classifier I was talking about is implicit, if you look at their proposed diagram they want to use fMRI embeddings, they serve as a continuous equivalent. You put a sufficiently large model on top of any embeddings and it will learn to reconstruct their modes.
The embeddings are trained across subjects so it's not specific to a single patient but they hope to fine-tune it per patient using latent space alignment.

If you look at the papers in their recommended reading list, it's apparent that only low-frequency signals are learned, for example for face reconstruction the model can learn hair color, sex and beard/no-beard, but the actual face doesn't look anything like that of the person being looked at. Similarly for other benchmarks, the model can tell it's looking at a plane, but not much beyond that. This is cool from a technological standpoint but I recall papers doing the same thing at least 7 years ago. The novelty of their approach will be the architecture that comes after the embeddings, which can be interesting but won't add any more information to the fMRI scans.
A former employer had to comply with a variety of federal hiring compliance rules. Any contractor they hired also had to comply with these rules. Thus we could only hire contractors from pre-vetted contracting companies as it was seen to be too much risk otherwise.

Exceptions were made for very unique skillsets, but unless one is in the range of several K/hr, it is unlikely they'd fall in that bucket.
I'm not sure I understand the connection, you'll have to state your conclusion explicitly if you don't mind.
I've always had a soft spot for idref attributes, intended to support internal linking and graph structures in documents and never seriously adopted; I suspect that more important XML mechanisms exhausted the annoyance/complexity budget of implementations, until the tree-structured data applications crushed document applications as you describe.
China seeks 'bold' steps to lift birth rate
I don't know if it applies everywhere, but two factor come to mind: the (somewhat recent) change in energy and gas price did make heat pump a lot more competitive with more traditional heating solutions, and recently there are a lot of economic incentives (at least, here in Europe) to renovate house for energy efficiency, which make solar panel and heat pump very attractive.

I recently rebuilt my computer and figured I would just go with Windows 11 to have all the new features and compatibility.

I have been seriously debating on reinstalling and going back to 10. Just yesterday "gaming services" just decided it no longer wanted to run.

With the talk of how much data this thing collects it really makes me uneasy. Even though I only use it for gaming (I use my Mac for everything else)... I still occasionally do other things on it for convenience.

Edit:
I also thoroughly enjoy my startup being interrupted by "finish setting up this device" once a week when its really just trying to get me to setup office, one drive, and others.

Other side note, the fact that Office won't let me choose what I want to install... and it forces me to reinstall teams?!?

From the article:

> But as more and more engineers joined us, some shortcomings of C++ came to bite us: unreadable coding style, memory leak, segmentation fault, and more.

One advantage of Rust of C/C++ that is underreported is the that Rust makes it easier to operate a team with diverse levels of experience/expertise. One or two senior engineers set up the tone, design and coding standards. Junior folks try to follow but if they screw up Rust offers more checks and guard rails limiting the blast radius. Many bugs simply do not make past the borrow checker and type system. This also helps when churn and attrition happens in the team. I witnessed quite a few horror stories when aspiring but not-yet competent C++ coders wrecked havoc in C++ code-base when seniors were busy with something else.

I wouldn't consider that a parsing vulnerability - XML is relatively easy to parse - but rather an XML processing vulnerability, as in you must disable certain features (like arbitrary filesystem access) when processing an untrusted document.

With hindsight, an XML processing library should require that you turn features like that on, rather than require that you turn them off. Opt in to dangerous features rather than opt out of them in other words.

This article suggests that they started with a marine engine, typically an automotive engine that's been modified for these duty cycles by changing cams, timing, bearings, etc. Probably not all existing automotive engines are well suited to these applications, but they only need one or two.

Obviously an aviation application has other added constraints like elevation changes, inverted operation, packaging requirements, etc, but "runs at 75% max power for hours at a time" is certainly in common with the marine applications, and trivially demonstrated on a dyno stand.
Why did Linux end up capturing everyone's attention? I wasn't around back then.
But this issue is present equally with Google search, no? What I'm saying is that by smartly aggregating all the different opinions on an issue, a LLM could provide better visibility into our collective mind than we currently have access to by simply scanning the first few results of a search engine query. Let's not forget that we're looking at version 0.0001 on this new technology, so there should be lots of room for growth.
I’m struggling to find a reference, but I’ve already seen this used in the reverse during interrogations.

You use something like an EEG and show someone a series of images to establish a baseline of “familiar” and “unfamiliar.” Then you show them photographs of the crime scene that haven’t been made public to test for familiarity.

I question its accuracy but your scenario already seems possible.

Edit: for siblings comments about journalists - “identifying” a source could probably be “accomplished” using the above technique already, no need for AI. Show photos of random people mixed in with the photo of the suspected leak in your gov. department.
It's all amazing, but that edge lit layered number display is really something special!
You used to be able to create a reddit account without an email address. If all they can get is a username and password, by and large, who cares? Just create another account and you're on your way. It's way less likely hackers will figure out your creds on other sites if they don't have an email address to act as a key.

Why require email for dumb social media sites? You can talk about password recovery, but emails aren't necessarily required for that, and it could be something to opt in to. It seems like email is required to make data collection, tracking and advertising easier. It sucks that all this creepy data collection is not only an annoyance, but also makes us less secure.

Would it be safe to assume you are either a woman, or a gay man?

I am in my late 30s, of average attractiveness, and below-average suaveness. If I open Grindr in a large city and create a profile with one of my cuter selfies, I get so many messages I literally would not be able to reply to all of them.

From what I've pieced together, that is not what would happen to the heterosexual version of me. Many men on dating sites will never be initially messaged by a woman. Various sources where dating apps have made their data public in aggregate, suggest women are about 80% less likely to send the first message than men are. So they have to always initiate. And then most women they send a message to never reply.

That must be incredibly demoralizing.

Definitely a lot of posts about heat pumps on HN recently that this topic has piqued my interest but only to the point that I want to know if I can install one in my home. Are there any legit resources out there that can help me understand if heat pump is a right choice for my home based on Geo, type of home, sqft and other factors to consider before replacing current systems (two ACs and two furnaces?)
For a long time the main problem of heat pumps was that while they are more efficient, a kilowatthour of gas or oil is much cheaper than a kilowatthour of electricity. But in the last two years natural gas prizes have gone crazy, removing that price disadvantage.

Of course heat pumps emitting no particulates and being able to run on renewables are also good reasons, especially as the health impact of living in cities with high PM2.5 values becomes clearer. But I don't think those are the primary drivers.
Solar hot water would probably be a better fit for your situation.
My father has solar and a heat pump. His cummulative heating and electrical cost is practically zero over the year. On many days the solor panels produce more than he can use so he gets money for feeding it into the grid.

If the roof of your house produces enough electricity for the people living it and the heating (and cooling) of all rooms, it is a no brainer to switch to a form of heating that relies on electricity.
I’ve been independently interested in heat pumps because I need to replace my old end-of-life system and I’ve been interested if a modern cold-weather mini split system is a better investment. There’s lots of conflicting info I’ve found on if heat pumps perform in freezing weather and at what kind of efficiency.

I’m sure there’s others in my position.
