It is a lot cheaper to build transmission lines compared to providing storage.

In the future the vast majority of electricity will come from wind and solar. If production does not match consumption then it is almost always the best option to move the electricity somewhere else.

(That said: Of course storage will be needed, but only if there are no better options to balance the grid otherwise.)

Is this a discussion of micromanagement at the CEO level, or of general managers?

If the manager is the CEO (often referenced in article), then either the writer is high level, or in a small company. If this is about CEOs then it's really not quite a question of management style, but leadership style - at a pretty high level.
This is the distinction between tilt wing aircraft and tilt rotors. The former were explored in the 60s and found impractical. The latter took longer to develop but are now practical.

The original comment is spot on: hovering vertically with a big wing also vertical just doesn't work well in the real world. That said, the situation might be different for very small drones, for similar reasons to why you don't build full size quadcopters.
I'd agree with this an don't see much point in trying to figure out which bad type of management is the least bad. Instead, the approach should focus on finding ways to make a bad manager better in a meaningful way.
The author of the PMS emoji proposal is Svenska Cellulosa AB, a forest industry company that's also in paper hygiene products. I see the SCA logo a lot in public bathrooms (e.g. paper towels).

I suspect their marketing team was brooding on something.
>The character it has built for itself is extremely suspicious when you examine how it behaves closely. And I don't think Microsoft has created this character on purpose.

The thing doesn't even have a persistent thought from one token to the next - every output is a fresh prediction using only the text before it. In what sense can we meaningfully say that it has "built [a character] for itself"? It can't even plan two tokens ahead.

Yes. Due to high inflation (which is pragmatically a wealth tax) and stupid decisions, Facebook, Google, and Elon Musk have lost a lot of money. But (with the notable exception of the 100,000 or so employees they pre-emptively layed-off) this is largely a "them" problem.

Employment is still very, very tight by historical standards, in all sectors of the economy. Which means the pain points are largely confined to a small part of the population.
A list of price increases by FAANG / big tech companies:

- Google: Google Workspace [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34826453]

- Microsoft: The above (yes this is related to ChatGPT/OpenAI, so this isn't a perfect example)

- Netflix: The cracking down on account sharing

It is an interesting trend, where in this market downturn large tech companies are flexing their pricing power a lot. This will work in the short and medium run, but not for longer as in the long run / soon tech is going to easily be highly decentralized.
This is a weird act of class struggle, I think. Management strikes back, if you will.

I think what happens here is that management, or rather managers, feel like they are lacking something: And that something is the public display of hierarchy. No team lunches, no better office space for higher-ups, no dedicated parking lots, etc. Many perks of being a team lead, or tribe lead, or whatever depend on a fully staffed office and are essentially symbolic or offer only very little additional comfort. It reminds me of pre-boarding or security fast lanes for status customers at airlines (priority de-boarding has an actual value sometimes, but of course belongs to that expensive seat).

With empty or even no offices, these perks have gone and managers miss their importance. What better to do than to slowly force these pesky SEs back to their desks, where they belong? But one has to move carefully, of course as to not scare them away. Hence the industry will follow the big tech here. These 3 days will soon become the norm, just wait for it.

Europe has no trees? Are you joking? This is ChatGPT-level hallucination stated with ChatGPT-level confidence. On a side note, a few European firms manufacture single-use plates and cutlery from agricultural waste (wheat bran). Really good products, and even edible and, frankly, quite tasty (not that you'd want to take more than a nibble as they're 100% fibre).
Gmail has had the "important" flag for ages, and that's done automatically. The issue is training the AI to work for your data (e.g. I find Gmail still hasn't picked up the differences in spam I get, and so some specific spam still going to my inbox, and some specific ham ends up in spam).

Unfortunately, just because one provider provides a good AI, doesn't mean others will (and in a work context, you may be stuck with the bad one).
Most passwordless setups require at least 2FA. Using it to login demonstrates both something you have (the authentication key on device) and something you know/something you are (PIN or biometrics used to unlock the authentication key).

Ask HN: Resources for Android HAL, Framework, Platform Development in Automotive
Basically the title. I work in an IT company as an android application developer for automotive infotainment systems. So far my work has been in limited to android coding for making HMI interface and the android service layer related to the apps. I have some expertise in IPC communication implementation using AIDL, between the apps inside the custom automotive OS we develop. I want to have a good understanding of android native frameworks and services and android HAL layer. Also would like to have some exposure to concepts of JNI and to have experience in interfacing JAVA and native layer modules through JNI. If anyone knows good resources to start at these things in light of automotive domain, please share it with me. If you can guide me in the right direction, advices are also helpful to someone who is aspired to have a career in this automotive platform development. I would like to switch for a job where these skills are required, but my android application development knowledge is not enough to crack any of those interviews that seek knowledge and experience in automotive platform development. Thanks in Advance!
While it would work and (almost certainly) be safe, I think public perception of irradiation is so low it would damage sales.

Irradiation is legal in most of the world, however is barley used in most of Europe. The UK for example allows it but in 2018-19 no irradiated food was sold.

It seems like that would lead to Schrödinger’s womb. You could always have a “miscarriage” after.
I actually do. Part of the appeal of the Civilization franchise to me has always been the ability to model the landscape and shape to get geography of my civilization. Civ 6 kind of break that and makes it worse with all the wonders scattered all over the place

Yeah. This fits with my reading of it as well. Periodic chunks of "yep, makes sense" scattered through a really disturbing miasma of questionable stuff and incredibly tightly bound methods sharing gigantic balls of state that must be called in an order, but with nothing that hints at or enforces that order. It adds up to a really horrific result pretty frequently.

I'm not sure how it got its status at the beginning, but I think it retains it through sheer scale - it's a gigantic book for what it actually contains. It batters you with poorly connected ideas over and over and over until you can't tell right from wrong, and in the end you're just agreeing with whatever because doing otherwise gets you nowhere and nothing but pain as you try to read more. It's like a cult brainwashing ritual.
People really underestimate how much 2 or 3 community members who don't have to worry about working or making rent and focus solely on this issue can get done

If we could have something like a community strike fund that could be payed back into when/if their case is won, I'd happily donate while I have a stable job.

Who knows, maybe some day I'll be in some affected community that could make use of such a fund
You don't actually need to feed the entire core state as part of each prompt. You just need to tell it that X is one of the things that are known, and if it needs to know X to produce output, it should ask by outputting some F(X) - few-shot learning is usually the most reliable. Then you intercept those in the output and replace them with actual values before feeding it back into LLM for the next prediction.

The "interface" can vary. For example, you can give it a bunch of SQL DDL definitions with descriptive table and field names and tell it that it can query that database as needed. When it works, it can get really impressive - I've seen it do inner queries and joins, and it routinely uses ORDER BY and LIMIT. But then sometimes it just mixes up fields from different tables even in very simple queries (although if you respond with "ERROR: no such field" etc, it can usually self-correct), and it can sometimes interpret the results in creative ways. The approach where it has to query for stuff one by one in a simple well-defined format is much more reliable.
But isn't there a huge difference between the AI behaving 'realistically' and the AI playing 'to win'?
> The architecture of AlphaGo (policy and evaluation networks plus MCTS) is sufficient to recreate and surpass any kind of human-practical strategy

This is an assertion without evidence. Leela Zero uses the architecture of AlphaGo and yet this guy just beat it with a human-practical strategy. I have no doubt that this can be fixed, but exactly how to fix it is not obvious and it may require more compute, and that's interesting.
I'd love if they'd clean up registry keys, or if windows did. But broadly I agree with you.
In a very basic sense it’s true. The first law of thermodynamics must be followed. But it’s a meaningless statement without explaining what people actually mean by calories in and calories out.

When people say calories in and calories out, calories in is meant to represent calories consumed as food, and calories out is meant to represent calories lost through physical efforts (exercise, and basic daily activity).

The problem, however, is that both sides of it are incomplete. There are parts of calories in that will never get absorbed by the body. If the same person consume the same amount of calories in donuts, or alternatively in lettuce, they will almost certainly gain more weight eating donuts than lettuce even if their “calories out” is the same, because a lot of the calories in the lettuce will never be absorbed by their body and will simply exit as fiber in the first place.

Then even looking at the calories out side, a lot of digestion isn’t even done by our bodies. It’s done by stuff like gut bacteria. Someone who has a healthier gut biome will likely not gain as much weight eating exactly the same foods and exercising exactly the same amount as someone who doesn’t have as healthy a gut biome.

Then there are dieting patterns. Most extreme diets, for example, drive the body to enter starvation mode and lower its BMR, so even two people doing the same amount of exercise and eating the same foods, if one of them does it in a way that makes their body think they’re starving and the other does it in a way that does not, the latter will lose more weight since their BMR will be higher.

Calories in and calories out is supposed to convey the idea that all that matters are the calories you’re eating, and the exercise you’re doing. But this is
wrong because the nutritional value of the calories you’re consuming, the timing and frequency with which you’re eating, your gut health, your BMR etc are all also extremely, arguably more, important factors in weight loss.

And all of that is without even considering the impacts of certain types of foods and exercise on your mental health and satiety.

Calories in vs calories out is only accurate in the most basic and meaningless physics sense in the context of weight loss. And yet most people telling others to lose weight offer it as prescriptive advice.
Also, you can visit the Titanic in GTA V.

i do not get why they keep writing heavy metal music. "Normal people" (sic) do not like it.

Are metal bands aware of that? They are throwing away a sizeable portion of fans and record sales.

I'm not sure you're acting in good faith when you say normal people hate Lisp, thus it's only weirdos that use it. There is no constructive discussion to be had here.
Sort of. It's true a lot of this stuff was paid for by us gamers so that we could play Quake and stuff. UE is a lot more than a game engine these days. I've always been an id guy but I do consider UE a vital technology at this point. It really is because it can, and does, power so much more than games.

That said, these GPU and AI things started as US military project which trickled down to us

Fukushima-related radioactive materials measured across entire Northern Hemisphere [1]

Scarey headline, right?

Check the details:

The CTBTO's radionuclide stations are designed to register minuscule amounts of radioactive particles and noble gases -- down to a number of a few atoms. The system's sensitivity is second-to-none -- it can detect a concentration of 0.1 g of radioactive Xenon evenly distributed within the entire atmosphere of Earth. A rooftop detector at the CTBTO's headquarters in Vienna still catches traces of emissions from the 1986 Chernobyl disaster.

They are literally counting atoms and the levels detected outside of the immediate area were way to low to pose any kind of serious health risk.

Precedure wise some of the US National laboratory tests amounted to putting fresh filters in truly massive high volume warehouse size HVAC systems, waiting for two weeks worth of fine particle dust to gather, shaking down the filters to concentrate particulate, and then letting that sit for 48 hours at the heart of an extremely sensitive gamma ray detector in order to get "target of interest" counts in the low hundreds swamped by a sea of always there regular background environmental radiation.

It's a triumph of modern instrumentation that signal was detected .. but not the smoking gun of increased cancer risk.

Although . . . if you do want to worry, there are still trace elements of those several hundred atmospheric atom bomb tests from the first part of the Cold War drifting about [2]

Anyone notice a type of person who's always doing weird abstract fluffy meta analyses constantly? Their library is normally chalk full of self help books and they can go on at length about nothing. You can't really debate them because there's no concrete numbers and it's usually just a few experiences they've personally had.

Look into hedge funds as customers.

My brother worked for a fund, and at some point ended up in a conversation with BoA's CTO at some industry event. CTO was shocked my brother's fund was all on prem vs using AWS. The party line from my brother's fund? "We compete with Jeff Bezos for deals so we don't trust him."

I don't really want to argue the merits of that perspective, I'm just reporting an anecdote that there's definitely customers with it.
Should be noted that natural hydrogen was also known since antiquity: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00128...

The problem is that no one cared or knew what it was. This is not that dissimilar to petroleum itself, which was also ignored until the 19th century. Before then, it was seen as a curiosity and similarly ignored or misunderstood.
Rhetorical. Is this by design as it appears this recession is intentionally created by the Fed.
That's a visionary with control/esteem issues and an inability to communicate. Micromanaging is a lack of trust in yourself as a leader and your team's ability to deliver. Good/great leaders never micro manage because they trust the vision was communicated and received and seek feedback to confirm this. When I can't connect or trust my team I've failed at leadership.

Failing at team leadership doesn't mean you can't be a detailed product manager with a strong vision for a successful product. But you shouldn't be managing the team, those responsibilities need to go to someone focused on the team and not the vision
Late to the thread but to make a comparison here are American[1] and Chinese[2] "extradition treaty blocs", 150 ~ 50 countries.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_extradit...

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extradition_law_in_China#/medi...

Interestingly if you are keen to slip the grasp of law enforcement (note: this is no sanction of illegal activity of any sort), and you reside in, for example, Australia Turkiye or Mexico, you are within the extradition jurisdiction to either China or USA, a kind of extremal legal coverage/exposure. The caveat being, there is a concept called dual criminality which is essentially the intersection of crimes from the one country and the extraditing country.

Extra credit: 1997 congressional report on the unprecendented (at the time) US-Hong Kong extradition treaty.

> They all say they do of course, while actually being afraid of doing this because it takes more time and money.

That is my experience too with most places - they say that they support clean, well tested and maintainable code and then turn around and ask things to be delivered in unreasonable time resulting in quick and dirty code.

> I also suspect that not focusing on clean code is a strategy many managers have because they can show velocity to their higher ups and get promoted before it all blows up and they’re held responsible.

Indeed - furthermore, because the code lacks quality, it requires more effort to manage and (intentionally or not) helps them to demand headcount which requires more managers which results in them building hierarchies, moving up and having their fiefdom. It is a smart approach too in a perverse sense: how will you get to a position managing 100 people if you only delivered with 5 people due to your efficiency? You'll be labeled as "lacks experience managing large orgs".
Well the president just told rail workers they couldn't strike like a month ago. They wanted to strike because of unsafe working conditions and skeleton crews and crazy shifts. But I'm not really sure it's a political issue, both parties are on the side of the railroad owners here.

Canonical and Oracle offer updating a running Kernel as a paid service IIRC. One was called Ksplice, i think the one Oracle acquired.
> Since then I've bought every new Civ as it came out and maybe played through two or three games before abandoning it. None of them capture the original, but rather just add more and different crap to micromanage. They're just not fun.

On the contrary, they add a whole new strategic dimensions to the game. In Civ I you had what, two victory conditions (Domination and Science)? In Civ V, you have also Cultural Victory (producing much more tourism than every other civilization's culture) and Diplomatic (getting most of the city states on your side). This is not "crap to micromanage", but more like changing the game from 2D chess to 3d chess.

Not to mention, the one unit per tile limit in Civ V makes combat much more tactical and interesting (combat is no longer just about quantity).
The author says meditation is the solution and describes the effects it had on him. However, I didn't quite get the why (even if I ignore the how) - why did it work for him and will it work the same way for others? Besides, meditation itself is a habit and one that is the easiest to ignore as it doesn't bring immediate benefits (lacks instant gratification). This was great writing but for me it lacked the scientific rigor. It's great that it worked for the author. Kudos for that!
I agree. Martin's approach is amenable to bureaucracies that want to increase (the perception of) organizational control over software projects. It is opposed to the Fred Brooks approach. It favors a lower standard of individual skill and relies on bureaucratic control of the process instead as the guarantor of good outcomes.

We shouldn't be surprised that it's popular, or that it's highly associated with Java (and certain other languages today).
