Seems to me that if regulators allow that kind of dynamic pricing, then it would come with much cheaper rates at other times.

Suppose you did pay $300 on one cold night... but it also turned out that your electric bill for May and September was basically $0. Would that be the worst thing in the world? Utilities are monopolies, and regulators keep an eye on their total bottom line. A massive yearly profit would come in for scrutiny.

Rather than maintaining individual gas heaters, it's more likely that the energy companies would maintain gas-powered peaker plants. If they operate 1% of the year, then we've cut 99% of the carbon emissions, with no loss of service. Even if they somehow had to operate 10% of the year, that's a 90% drop in CO2.

It's Maine. Regular folk are interested in heating systems.
Unless it is your core business, you pay companies like Cloudflare to do it for you.

If it is your core business, but you are also big enough: you also pay Cloudflare or companies like them to do it for you.

If you are in between those two: as long as your name servers can be found, they can also be DoS'ed. But they can't be found, they also can't resolve anything. And now you're getting into the true problem: the bigger pipe tends to win, and if the bigger pipe has more origin ASNs and IPs to bug you with, individually black holing them won't be feasible either. So now you need to have a 'bigger pipe' and that's not something most companies want or can invest in.

Fun would be to build utilities for your own use that would actually enhance it. I can think of home type projects with embedded system that interfaces with HomeKit. It could be anything actually, maybe work with another person with similar needs on that fun project.

It's going to happen a lot more as automation continues. But the destruction of certain trades is only a problem when it means that the profits from the more effecient production are captured by a few while the people made redundant are left in the cold - but that is not how things will have to work. I only hope that sooner rather than later the response will be societal reform instead of just more bullshit jobs that only exist because we have made it so that people need jobs to survive. At some point we will have to realize that making sure everyone has a 40 hour job is not reasonable or needed.
As a reference point to others: I have a massive Steam library (>300 games) and every game marked as "Verified for Steam Deck" (~20%) worked out of the box. I also played many games marked as "Playable" (e.g. Fallout New Vegas) which also worked perfectly without any specific configuration.

I also had no issues with stability and the Steam Button was a reliable way to get me out of the game whenever I misconfigured something or started a game with "unknown" ranking, which actually didn't work.
C# with maui can natively compile (on most things), otherwise you can just ship the .net runtime with your app, you can target a webview on "any" platform with the same codebase and same tools using Blazor. Blazor has it's own syntax that works similar to Angular, but ALOT different. And you can pretty much do straight up C# in it. You also have super easy multithreading. And since all the frontend code is baked into your backend, it's super easy. You can also build webapps which function pretty much alone with no backend. Or have a backend linked into it. It also works in the browser and can target WASM, with the exact same codebase and UI as Linux, Windows, Iphone, ANdroid, etc(Assuming you use the webview with blazor)

The question for what actually replaces the WWW as we currently know it isn't really open-ended. Many of the people who post on HN and similar sites remember what the web was like before it became an ad-funded mess.

I would enthusiastically welcome a web that isn't based on firehose-advertising and outright deception/lies.
Why do you think its safe when it was obviously dropped in the west after the thousands and thousands of severe side effects emerged and not because of its effectiveness.
What kind of logic would make it not safe in Europe/UK but safe in India?

Also these % are completely irrelevant noways as all these vaccines are for COVID variants that are no longer in circulation and the prevention of hospitalization is minuscule compared to the risk of side effects.
Depends on the countries involved. The US has backed SpaceX in enabling Starlink service in Iran.

Because the residential ones are mostly small enough to be air cooled.

Exhaust heat is fine in theory but HN would be screaming bloody murder if even one person died from CO as a result of a shoddy install or cracked heat exchanger so it's basically a nonstarter if you're a big juicy lawsuit target like a business. While there's nothing fundamentally different from a forced hot air furnace the novelty factor makes fending off the ambulance chasers more expensive than it's worth.

> If women, or gays, or trans, or people with disabilities, don't submit talks, then they will not get talks accepted.

If you went along and had a terrible experience as a guest (for example being the only woman in a room with a hundred men, 95% of whom are fine, but 5% of whom are creepy, meaning that you get to spend the session dealing with 5 creepy men), would you want to submit a talk, with the goal of getting up on stage and bringing even more attention to yourself?

Lack of diversity is a self-perpetuating cycle - I get it, you aren’t going out of your way to intentionally make things worse, and that’s great! But it is perpetuating itself at this point, and it’s going to require intentional effort to stop it. That effort can either come from the minorities, going out of their way to fight an uphill struggle to insert themselves into an event that doesn’t want them, or it can come from the organisers, going out of their way to be welcoming to groups who are currently pushed away by the status quo.
Pushes on the part of utilities for heat pumps in the past were made with systems that honestly sucked. People remember how much they sucked.

Based on what you describe, consider looking into something like consulting or freelancing.

You can spend most of the time on your farm.

You can avoid the corporate office politics and BS.

You can work on more casual and smaller projects in a more relaxed environment.

You might have a niche in a rural area such as helping other farmers get setup with selling some of their products online.
It is more than ready, but it assumes some baseline skills to get the most out of it. It has awesome controls and its on-screen keyboard is alright, it is a game console after all.

In fact, Valve did an awesome job making it extremely usable and pushing so much performance out of such a platform.
Why does this make Erdogan a fool?

Considering you can run it on a 2200g (https://youtu.be/qho3CtKqpjY), it'll run on any Ultrabook with a modern integrated GPU.
Don't they just start working essentially as effective resistive heater below some temperature ? So theoretically just oversizing it a bit should've been enough for the once in 10 years cold snap event.

Woodstove with some supplies probably cheaper than oversizing tho

I feel like Google is going to bleed credibility for every month that they don't have a lamda/llm enabled search integrated into the home page. You can talk all you want about the foundational models and how advanced they are, but the search product itself will require a ton of fine-tuning on real-world training data that they aren't collecting yet.

Unless Microsoft completely botches their "newBing" launch, this is probably the most potential they've had in search since MSN was launched.
The model was trained exclusively on stable diffusion generated images, so can be unpredictable with non-generated images, specially images with people in it
This is a dangerous mindset in NH/ME though, because redundancies are what will keep your house from freezing. Your primary heat source may “just work” until it doesn’t (when you need it most). Then you’re doing battle in Home Depot with others in the same situation to try to claim the last space heater so your pipes don’t freeze.
Erdogan literally imprisons any opposition leader who comes close to be an actual challenger. He's done it twice already in the last 7 years.

It's just not funny anymore. Some people in Turkey might enjoy living under a dictator (after all, many did in Italy and Germany, and many do in a lot of other countries today), but let's not pretend that water is not wet.
> I would enthusiastically welcome a web that isn't based on firehose-advertising and outright deception/lies.

I would too but I don't see how it happens. The awesome web that used to be was built on the backs of unpaid volunteers. Maybe that could return but even if it did all that wonderful volunteer work would get funneled through Google or OpenAI so investors can make a fat profit from it. Feels fundamentally wrong to me.
My neighbor is a FedEx pilot. Based on the stories I've heard the pilots probably used very colorful language in the cockpit but were screaming for the sheer joy of finally getting to do something exciting now that they've retired from the Air Force or Navy.

LExecutor: Learning-Guided Execution
The thing is, if you feel you're being paid too little for your work there are basically 3 reasons:

1 - you are wrong because you're not that good

2 - you are right, but the overhead necessary for the company to survive does not allow them to pay you as much

3 - you are right and they are exploiting you

The way to prove case 1 wrong is to start your own business or consultancy and earn more money than you did before. But to prove 2 or 3 you would have to create a very similar company and prove it can successfully operate while earning the employees much more money, which would be very difficult.
This is playbook of scumbag tyrants, doesn't matter if Putin, Erdogan or similar. I for sure hope EU politicians are taking a note too, there are 2 existential threats to democratic free Europe long term - Russia and Turkey. Both have same ambitions, are on completely opposite side of all crucial values free world holds dear.

Luckily their competence severely lags behind their ambitions, to think Turkey was for some time considered to join EU... I think Ataturk would be heavily depressed if he witnessed present day Turkey and its leaders.

To about the same degree as the output of a human.

I just started writing a new novel. It's an interesting, in my opinion highly novel fantasy/SF(ish) story, for once not fanfiction of anything that's still in copyright -- most people wouldn't count stories based on ancient norse mythology as 'fanfiction' -- but that doesn't mean it isn't derivative. It means, instead of naming two or three things it's derivative of, I can name ten to fifteen.

That's normal. All stories are derivative, and if you point me at an author who claims theirs aren't, you're pointing at a liar. The job of an author is to put the building blocks together in a new and interesting form, not to make them up from whole cloth. It's impossible to invent more than two or three truly novel ideas per day, even if you're incredibly imaginative, and most of those won't be any good.

The difference between humans and AIs, nowadays, seem to be that the AIs use millions of sources instead of ten to fifteen. Or, alternately, that they use none -- and theirs is less derivative -- because certainly everything I've ever read goes into my writing, not just the things I recognise I'm using.
It also means that there's a fixed target that can get an extended amount of testing in the field, and when fixes for that version come out you know you're getting issue X fixed but no other change in behavior. Less chance of incidental breakage.
> It's crash early model wrt stack overflows and out-of-memory errors seems to trade off availability for safety

It's worth noting that while you can catch these kind of errors in C, very little software actually does so. The only software I'm aware of that does this is SQLite. Your C software will more than likely crash in OOM and StackOverflow situations too.

The government already has high degrees of insight into and control over the money of most people in the UK. Most people in the UK (in my experience, at least) couldn't care less about the day to day privacy implications of banking, it's not on their radar. The suggestion that this would enable the government to monitor more might be strictly true because it enables new types of monitoring, but that is already practically true in every way for most people.

I find it difficult to understand why a digital pound is anything more than an incremental improvement (or worsening from your perspective). What does a digital pound enable the government to do that would interfere with the everyday person's life, that isn't already possible?

(Also, cigarette prohibitions and social credit scoring are hot button issues for people who believe in the sanctity of individual rights but they're not at all related in the context of this discussion. There's nothing terrifying about a cigarette prohibition to most people, especially in the UK, where we've literally had various cigarette restrictions imposed over the years to the point where a NZ style prohibition would probably not even register for almost everyone.)

No doubt! It’s how AI is marketed in all places right now, “talk and ask for things as if it’s a human”. Soon gone are the days where you have to render a raw thought into a mish-mash of Search engine-friendly keywords and synonyms in order to get the most relevant results - you can ask for things from AI as if it’s your receptionist!
It's a similar reaction that Intel supporters had when it was clear AMD had become a credible threat. There were claims that Intel had 1-2 unreleased CPU architectures just ready to drop at a moments notice to counter anything AMD came out with... we've seen how that played out. Google has been distracted milking their cash cow, just as Intel was, while the competition caught up. The main difference is that Google doesn't seem as far gone (yet) as Intel.

I believe Rust is only used for a few kernel modules at the moment.
Agreed on most parts, but at some point you have to start deciding whether the safety tradeoff is worth it. You’re still more likely to die on the car ride to the airport than in the plane, yet we all do it still. And the “quality” of service is not just slightly off, it’s wildly off to the extent it genuinely distresses you even when everything is going right, leave alone the hell British creates if even something goes wrong. Again, until something actually crashes I’ll reserve judgement on whether the slight increase in supposed risk for the middle eastern airlines is even real.

Ask HN: Choice of HDL for an FPGA Project
I am sitting in front of Vivado right now about to start writing my first module, a decoder for RISC-V. I basically want to make a full computer in the spirit of LISP machines. I know how ambitious it is but I really want to try.

I am wondering whether I should stop procrastinating and just proceed with Verilog right now, or try a more modern language like Clash or SpinalHDL first though. I do not know anything about Scala and only have a basic idea of Haskell.

People who have used an "alternative" HDL, how has your experience been? Are there any major disadvantages and pain points? Is the produced code efficient and robust? Were the readability and productivity gains worth it? What about device primitives?

Anything you could share on the matter would be appreciated!

EDIT: I decided to just get started with Verilog now, see how it goes, and consider whether a switch would be worth it after I 've done some solid progress.

Not sure that would make a difference. Western societies have an issue with genocide, so Russia claims Ukraine was committing genocide against Russians. If Westerners didn't care about genocide, Russia would've claimed something else, Putin certainly has no issue with genocide.

So if our thing du jure wasn't misinformation, I'm sure they'd just claim they're using their powers to combat hate speech or whatever else is culturally okay. If there's really nothing available, there's always "we need to protect the children from predators who are trying to abuse this dire situation". In the end, it doesn't matter if you're in power. Your tribe will always be with you, no matter the reason you're giving, and the opposition will be silenced.

Well, even if you assume 100% reliable supply of whatever kind of energy (gas, power etc.) your system needs, the heating device can still fail.

> transactional

Your network should be somewhat transactional. They don't call it your friend circle or your family, that's different.

Your network are people who can be (potentially) useful to you in your career or life goals. In return, you typically are (potentially) useful to them.

The oft-repeated story of a colleague moving on and then giving you a recommendation for hire at their new gig when you start looking is a transactional relationship. Both parties got something out of it, and I don't see anything wrong with acknowledging that. Even if those parties didn't really speak for a few years in between.

Plenty of folks I consider in my network and "good" friends I haven't spoken to in a couple years. If they called me at this moment I'd drop everything and pick up the call, and at least try to help them with whatever their reasonable need is. And I expect the same to be similar in reverse as well.
Hmmm, I remember those emails and I did reply to gmourier, and made almost all of the changes he pointed out, to our comparison page. Here's [1] the exact commit with the changes I made.
