Fixed mount solar panels connected to the grid are more cost effective. You need less because you mount them at a reasonable angle and ensure they are not shaded: you immediately get at least twice as much power for the $ vs on attached to something moving down the road. Probably more as since efficiency isn't critical when you can just buy a few more cheap panels and put them up for less than the more expensive ones you need to get useful power from the limited space on a moving vehicle.

The grid also means that we can pipe energy around, so if your panels are shared the ones next door (next state...) can deliver power.

We are in a transition period. Starting with getting apps packaged in flatpak even if it doesn’t improve security, and then once that’s all done we can start tightening the restrictions.
Well not really. I’ve literally spent the past few weeks banging my head on these things.

Especially if you want/need multi-arch. That basically requires buildx which doesn’t cache locally by default. There’s a half dozen types of caching to figure out. Then buildx is very buggy and needs qemu setup even when building natively otherwise you run into decade old bugs doing things like running sudo in a dockerfile.

It took a couple of weeks of on and off tinkering to get a stable arm builder running on a Mac m1. To get the GitHub action server to run stably and not time out was a PITA. It required IT tuning cpu limits and page caching. Not fun.

We run native machines but I would’ve much preferred a cloud solution so I could do my actual job.

Show HN: Discord Wordle Result Bot
Hi HN! I created a self-hostable discord bot for scraping and calculating wordle result statistics[0]. The deployment process makes use of docker, and the setup process is thoroughly described in the readme[1].

A group of my friends and I post our wordle results into a channel on our discord, and we've deliberated in the past who has the best score, opener, etc. I used this project as an excuse to explore the discord.py package[2]. It skips non-wordle related messages and uses some checks to determine if the message is a share result, if it's a malformed result, etc. The project only currently leverages the discord.py package for scraping messages from a configured channel, but I have intentions of making it command accessible and possibly a public bot if there's enough interest.

So far, it currently calculates:

- Count

- Score (average number of guesses across all samples)

- Off by 1 count (Number of times the second to last guess is off by 1)

- Average % across each guess tier (1,2,3,4,5,6,X)

- Average value by each guess tier

- X-less streak (breaks on x result)

- Post streak (breaks on missing a wordle post)

- Combined streak (what the wordle website uses (x-less and post))

- Graphs of guess results per user

Check the readme for example outputs to see some stat breakdowns[3].

Let me know your thoughts! I'd love to hear any suggestions for future updates or improvements.

For the same reason people say “anyways” instead of “anyway”, they grew up hearing it spoken that way.

When I was in college a few people pointed out my bad grammatical speaking habits. It requires focus to undo what one has spent years saying.

> The fact that covid happened during the us presidential campaign is probably the second largest reason why the pandemic has been so poorly handled in the world

Handling of Covid in other countries seems unrelated. Japan, a very conservative country and close US ally, handled it well, as an example.
Excess weight, obesity more deadly than previously believed
Absolutely agreed. Don't forget that the presidential campaign involved an extremely controversial figure.
Speaking of LLMs. Since LLMs like to hallucinate every now and then, an LLM could also hallucinate names of packages that it tells people to install. And those packages could in turn have been squatted by malware authors.

And in this way, malicious packages may be unintentionally downloaded by users even when those malicious packages did not yet exist when the LLM was trained. Just because the hallucinated package name was randomly later taken by someone malicious.
You make a good point, I do think having a dysfunctional financial industry makes the build -> exploit -> sell/dump such an attractive option that it would be crazy not to chose it. The problem is that people are buying these companies at overvalued prices. Probably a side effect of low interest rates among other things. In theory those who keep buying overvalued companies would long term lose money and will be less able to keep doing so. That doesn't work with negative real interest rates.

I think in software the exploit phase negatively impacts the culture of the developers in a way that is difficult to recover from. The best have left and the most of those who remain probably should be fired. Probably easier to start a new company from scratch, "Don't boil the ocean".

Maybe a good example could be in chip manufacturing where hiring someone like Jim Keller sends a signal that the company is entering a build phase.

Lacoste is a brand that was exploited to near death and explicitly went through a build phase a few years ago and revived itself. Huge marketing spend, lowered prices to target younger people, and I have no idea if they changed quality - not my field. I think it's more obvious trend in fashion where the underlying product doesn't fundamentally change.

Then there are B2B markets which have high volumes and low margins and in these industries reputations would be paramount and the customers more savvy and less exploitable. It would make sense to try to find a profitable steady state as soon as possible and only make minor changes.

So I guess the build-exploit cycle makes sense if assuming an efficient markets devoid of people with money willing to over pay for things they shouldn't.
> Type 2 diabetes is fundamentally caused by eating too much of carbohydrates. (Emphasis mine)

Fructose, specifically, is the going theory. And I'm a big fan of Virtahealth specifically, and Dr. Fung's approach for treating type 2 diabetes generally. :)

However, I'd disagree that we know that that's what causes it. We know that treats it. Cancer is not caused by a lack of chemotherapy, and I think chemotherapy is a good analogy for the fasting and low carb approach in this situation. It is a treatment, not a generally normative lifestyle.

But my point is actually more limited, and you actually sort of made it for me by adding the detail about carbohydrates. To wit: just because sugar requires energy, does not mean that you got too much sugar by bringing in too much energy. It's not that simple. You won't get the disease by eating too much protein, for example (you'll get protein poisoning ;) ). You get the disease as a result of liver dysfunction, which you exacerbate and possibly cause by eating too much fructose. It's a control mechanism problem and an injury problem -- the fact that energy is involved (even required!) does not make that the central issue.

Cancer requires energy for growth, but that doesn't make energy the central problem. Blood sugar requires energy for dysregulated high levels, but that doesn't make energy the central problem. Fat requires energy for dysregulated growth, but that doesn't make energy the central problem. That's something you have to demonstrate, and rigorous attempts to demonstrate it fail.

> There are many people who have cured their obesity with a little bookkeeping and self control ... David Goggins

Citing David Goggins as an example of "a little bookkeeping and self control" is hilarious to me. I've read his book. I love his talks. But the guy is about as heroic and extreme as it is possible to get, and that is far from the only thing he did.
If this was true then we would have seen similar layoffs between UMTS(3G) and LTE(4G) and between LTE and 5G. Is there any evidence of that? Also Telcos around the world are still rolling out 5G and much of the tech's promise of Edge Computing have not yet been deployed or realized.
even a one or two day prison sentence for 5 or 6 Googlers would make sure this never happened again.

Eh, utterly impractical but I still think there should be a way to "jail" corporations. Easy - "Your offices are closed for the duration of the sentence. Your systems are shut down for the duration. Automatic payments set up in advance can continue as long as there are funds in your bank accounts, but your staff will not be monitoring them. You can appoint someone external to the organization to take care of some obligations."

Survivable as a business for short enough sentences (effectively comparable to a devastating ransomware attack), but mighty painful and anyone involved will absolutely feel the wrath of ownership/shareholders.
Honestly, you hit the nail on the head on what drives me. Before this I was a PM, and way even before that- I was an Infra Engineer. I think that brick-wall of contact when working on some Enterprise tool was what got me. ESPECIALLY so when there was a bug blocking my company and it felt like no one cared.

When I first joined- this is why I would take great pains to respond to everyone extremely quickly. When I realized that was not sustainable, the focus then shifted to really making sure that our users are heard and their concerns are acted upon. Sure first contact SLA of 30 mins is great but- doesn't mean shit if we don't solve your problem.

So I think yes, tooling should be first. I think there is just a way for that tooling to serve the developer, not some OKR.
One thing I find interesting, though a bit annoying in practice is that coffee from the same materials and with the same process still can vary quite a bit. I've been using an Aeropress for some months now, and even if I keep all the major variable the same, it still tastes different.

I don't trust my senses here entirely, and as it's not blind I can easily fool myself. But the amount of agitation and differences in pouring might affect the taste here sometimes. Though my impression is that this is not always noticeable, but if I'm on the border of the coffee becoming bitter or sour it gets noticeably variable between preparations.

The other part that I'm quite sure of is that the temperature you drink at affects taste a lot more than I thought. If I drink the coffee too hot it tastes bitter, and it noticeably improves at lower temperatures (which is different from what I remember from cheap, pre-ground coffee, which tends to taste really bitter when it gets colder).
Has anyone calculated what this equals in admission fees and mandatory concessions?

piggybacking off of DNS works extremely well for Java and Go (and the tooling is a pleasure to work with)

I've seen strong counter-arguments to the things I bring up, for what it's worth. The kind of thing which I might disagree with but understand. If nothing else, it helps me remember that it's worth looking for the nuance on controversial topics and that many points of view often make a lot of assumptions. It's common that such topics are controversial for a reason.

(For context, I am a born US citizen.)
I don't think that's the best interpretation of complement. Think of complement as "is your users experience benefited by the existence of the other thing". I think that Search qualifies as something that enhances the Facebook users experience (e.g. my cousin mentioned thing that they like doing today, how do I find more about thing?)
> Tragedy of the commons is a problem cartels face,

That's my point. If RealPage were creating a cartel, they would be creating themselves problems without any upside. They aren't receiving the rent. They're receiving money from landlords who are happy with their pricing model. The fact the RealPage does not seem to experience the same problems common to cartels suggests that they aren't facilitating a cartel.
I had one of these too. The RAM upgrade was a game-console-style cartridge you plugged in one of two (I think) slots on the front of the machine.

>It's funny because you're describing a microcosm of comments as if they are the majority, and ignoring legitimate critiques. I can't say I'm surprised your knee-jerk reaction is to defend the echo chamber, but here we are. Thanks for proving my point so quickly!

When did I ever claim what I was describing was the majority? The entire point of my comment was to point out that bias is relative. Of course what I was describing is a microcosm. So is the "left wing bias" you described upthread. Hacker News consists of numerous microcosms. Of course you only consider one side to be an echo chamber, and yours to be "legitimate critiques." Which apparently I'm ignoring, despite you not having provided any, of anything. So it goes.

I won't belabor the point because I suspect most of the effort you put into my comment went into copying and pasting it.

That repo is basically releasing a binary (the weights) and an open source runtime to run them.

What I meant by that is that no packaging ecosystem (to my knowledge) runs arbitrary uploaded code to find network activity. Some may do simpler, static analyses, but outright execution for dynamic analysis purposes isn't something I'm aware of any ecosystem doing.

Python, Ruby, et al. are in an even worse position than that baseline, since they have both arbitrary code in the package itself and arbitrary code in the package's definition. But the problem is a universal one!
Each person has their own risk tolerance. Not taking on any risk at all is certainly safe, but also limiting.

My equity in Zipline is real enough, at least to the Internal Revenue Service!

Well some calls absolutely should invoke network or disk activity, so you would additionally need to define what constitutes good and bad activity for each. Moreover unless the package is a collection of pure functions it would be easy to hide the malware trigger in state that won't be initialized properly by the automated method calls but would be in the standard usage of the package.
Plouging is a specific subset of tilling. Many farmers till, but it is a very different type of tool that is a lot better for the soil. No-till and limited till are very common as well, and there are government programs encouraging them.

Want to taste coffee? Switch to light roasts. Want coffee flavored drink? Do whatever, mixing it with cream and sugar and flavor will make all the prep in the world pointless.

For real though, light roasts and a couple different beans and you'll really be able to taste the differences. I'm not talking subtle either. There will be some you hate, some you love and some that make you go "wait! That's coffee?"

I love coffee, though apparently all the wrong kinds. I like Starbucks dark roast. And around the house, it's all instant, all the time, either Walmart or Cafe Bustelo instant espresso. Half and half, no sugar, maybe sugar-free chocolate syrup (I'm diabetic). At work, we have a remarkably good machine that puts out a variety of coffees. No overcomplication for me.
Yeah, it can be a bit annoying but you have to just ignore it like everything else in life.
> especially since pulling back now puts them in a worse state than before having invaded, with NATO expansion, losses etc

Why would Russia not end up in a worse state after launching an ill-advised war of aggression? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Absolutely. From what I can tell, this model hits state of the art on several benchmarks at 1/10 the size of its benchmark winning competitors. That performance efficiency is great to see because while we know we can increase performance by scaling up the size and compute requirements, getting the same performance out of a fraction of the compute is a major win. This will be especially valuable as these models begin to see real production use at scale such as with ChatGPT and Bing.

HN seems to have mostly devolved into skepticism, hype and confusion lately around all things AI. I’d say we have just hit futureshock.

The problems with NixOS are not the only ones you highlighted. The baggage it brings in the name of reproducibility is not justified in my eyes.

Because a) They're not the only ones working towards it, but they like to paint it that way and b) Their implementation is not the only correct way, and again they like to paint it that way.

The main people behind it may not feel like that, but the hype creates a very repulsive aura around the project for some of us. I just don't want to touch NixOS just because of the community and hype around it.

There are many ways to achieve this reproducibility, and the old school ways are not very behind when compared to NixOS. Some things are achieved differently, but it's perfectly achievable with Debian and RedHat packaging infrastructures.
