> I hope as US becomes more and more diverse, people from other cultures can add the good things they bring, instead of just trying to fit in to the default cultural model.

The book "Bowling Alone" [1] make the case that diversity actually increases atomization, rather than increases it. This lines up with casual observation too. As the US has become an increasingly pluralistic country, social capital has diminished remarkably.

Thanks for this compendium. I originally wrote and released binspector, but have since moved to HexFiend, because I like the power Tcl affords as a template language. I too have rewritten specs for PSD too many times to count; it’s one of my favorite nerd-sniping pastimes. I’ll have to explore some of these other links, to find a good editor for my Windows colleagues.
Stumbling upon Gabor Mate and his book 'Scattered Minds' by literal chance made me realize not only that I had (severe) ADHD, but it that it could be traced back to interactions and stresses from my early childhood that mirrors information I had about my parents' emotional situation during that period. Since then, it has been a long journey until finding the right therapist and meds.

If there is a book that has radically changed my life for the better, it is this one. I wish I knew about my condition and family history 20 or 30 years ago.
Bureaucracies don't restore order or put innovations in place.

Bureaucracies make change happen slowly. They preserve the status quo.

Where are they going to charge them once a post office has a few? I thought I read somewhere that charging infrastructure is fine for a household but a fleet of 10+ EVs will need significantly more juice (technical term) and hardware to mitigate significant safety concerns.
How do they get ChatGPT not to hallucinate stuff about the articles? Everything seems fairly accurate, which is not my experience with ChatGPT when talking about technical things. Is it heavily curated/edited by humans?
I noticed that the text often comes out verbatim from the articles, perhaps this indicates a clever prompt that keeps things closer to the truth by requiring verbatim output.
Hyundai EVs are superior, too bad this has happened
My advice: stick exclusively to flakes and it becomes significantly less complicated. It’s a totally different experience when you have to deal with channels and their global state.

There are tons of warnings about how flakes are experimental and this leads people who are new to nix to think that it’s going to be more straightforward to stick to the legacy method. It’s an unfortunate situation, because it’s a reasonable assumption but nothing could be further from the truth.
>Even if you say "well the company should just pay more if they've made that value", not all that value manifests directly on the company's bottom line, it includes downstream value, as well as intangible things like worker skills that are more of an abstract societal benefit.

This bears emphasizing.

The main benefit a company provides is the goods they produce. The money is a measure of how much people value the goods at the time, but the main benefit is in the actual goods themselves.

Eg the electric grid is more beneficial than what people pay for it. If the cost of electricity doubled everyone would still keep using a fridge. If the cost of fridges doubled everyone would still keep using a fridge.

And that's the success of modern society - all the beneficial stuff we have access to that make our lives a little bit better.
First paragraph of the article:

> The service awarded contracts on Tuesday for 9,250 battery electric vehicles and for more than 14,000 charging stations.
Fire Toolkit (v30.2 as I type this) is an absolute must on recent Amazon tablets. It is a kludge, always having to readapt to Amazon's latest anti-hacking, anti-rooting whims, but it helps power users take greater control of their HD Tab in many ways.

> Services on unexpected ports are more likely to be insecure
than services on assigned ports.

That line really surprised me. I'd have thought that somebody who knows enough to move a frequently targeted service to a different port to avoid low effort attacks/scans would know enough to use other protections, then I saw it was partly because of cheap IoT devices that have zero issues violating specifications out of the box.
Reading farther in the article:

It also remains unclear where the vehicles and charging
stations will be placed, as those details have yet to
be finalized, the agency said.

So, to answer the GP's question, "Where are they going to charge them once a post office has a few?" Nobody knows.
The very "function" look will take some getting used to.

I haven't figured out the styling around the front lights and grill. It doesn't seem as function-driven as the rest of the appearance, which I guess might be adding to the front looking odd.
> completely changing the problem

Indeed. That's the point. Why let someone with an axe to grind define the problem in a way they can solve with their axe? The author is using optimization as the frame for rejecting a particular way of working, I'm pointing out that the definition is set up to make the solution work.

no:

"At a county commission meeting in November, Ms. Willis, the director of technical services, maintenance and barrel distribution at Jack Daniel’s, said that studies have shown that the fungus is not hazardous to human health and does not damage property. “Could it be a nuisance?” Ms. Willis said. “Yeah, sure. And it can easily be remedied by having it washed off.” She said the company would not agree, however, to power-wash homes, saying Jack Daniel’s could be held liable for any damage."

So the distillery's response is: "It's not known to be damaging to property, so it's no more than an eyesore. However, washing it off could be damaging to property, so we won't do it." Surely the local homeowners can make the case that a coating of black fungus is damaging to property value.
Yeah that page is a decent start. Dividing modulus of rupture by the density of the wood gives you the Joules/kg that the material will take before breaking. Yew is quite good. Osage, lemonwood, black locust, hickory etc. are all very good. Elm works but it's worse than yew. Bamboo should also be very good, but its properties vary widely and aren't really captured on that site.

Australian river red gum is theoretically decent, and I know that people have made serviceable bows from it. I think merbau backed with bamboo is about as good as it gets for Aussies, and merbau is an import.
You're not giving them enough credit. Pun not intended. They paid down high interest accounts with the spare cash hence the evidence I saw, fico score increase across the board.

Ask HN: Laid off, company put my name on an incorrect patent without permission
I was recently laid off by my company while still in the process of working on a patent application. There was an initial rough draft that was created by the patent counsel based on my verbal description. The rough draft had factual errors and used low quality MS-Paint drawings that I created solely for the sake of explaining the concept. As far as I can tell, they're moving ahead with filing the patent in its current state, and I'm listed as the sole inventor.

Before I was laid off, I told them that it needs editing, but they went ahead and filed it anyway.

I'm really concerned about how this is going to impact my professional reputation. I haven't signed the severance agreement with the release of claims clause yet, but time is running out.

What should I do here? Also, for context this is an Idaho company, but I've been splitting my time between Washington and Idaho.

Those restrictions seem intended to prevent people from creating a bunch of bot accounts that exploit the free tier. (Which is a common problem among free tiers for CI services and free online games)

I’m curious, what are some better alternative authentication methods to combat that problem than requiring a phone number?
I bet it's because Transnistria doesn't have its own locale.
Yes, fire toolkit is just a wrapper around the ADB protocol. You are not getting root or installing entirely new operating systems like lineage with it though unfortunately. The best you can do are little tweaks, you can't get a 'real' Linux system with full hardware access.
I'd compare it to the time investment in vim or emacs.

Getting some basic stuff done is unlikely to be difficult. (e.g. using `nix shell nixpkgs#fd` to try out the `fd` tool).

Getting a solution to a problem you have right now might be a quick copy-and-paste effort, or it might be a weekend's worth of tinkering to get even an unidiomatic solution.

Gaining familiarity with it does take a long time though. Most NixOS users will be modest about their confidence in writing Nix code (albeit, most NixOS users are also very passionate about the advantages of Nix & NixOS can be).
I don't think you'd need anything special for that. I've had good luck making text-davinci-003 roleplay different characters by A) telling it all the characters that exist, B) giving a transcript of messages from each character so far, and C) asking it to respond as a specific character I turn. It was shockingly easy. So I expect multiuser chat could work the same way.

It doesn't know what works.
Are you assuming the grid situation won't change over the next years? And that the charging stations will use the same source as the city? Have you actually checked their plan for the charging stations and how will they be operated?

When you do large projects like that, the reliability is considered and infrastructure is planned to account for it. Unless you're criticising a specific part of their actual plan, that's just a lazy dismissal.
20A per is plenty sufficient for overnight. A house has 200A service, commercial sites usually more and/or 3-phase which supports 3x the vehicles per amperage.

There is no "significant safety concern" or special hardware needed for additional chargers.
One of the reasons I appreciate for business long-term planning success is that businesses are allowed to die. When a (typical) business fails badly enough for long enough, it dies, its pieces are sold for scrap, and other businesses come in to take its place. Successful long-term planning happens organically, as successful businesses grow and prosper while weak businesses fail and shrink.

bureaucracies that are not allowed to die do not face this evolutionary mechanism of creative destruction- this includes governments but also a lot of business edge cases like PG&E for example.

This will save a lot of money over time. Last time I checked in any detail, electricity prices per mile of transport per ton were about 25% that of fossil fuel prices per mile of transport per ton, and that was three years ago.

They should really move all long-haul trucking to electric as well, at least for the main trunk lines, and for city-wide delivery. Remote rural routes will likely be the hardest to electrify.

Ok, but what does any of that have to do with what I've been asking? I've not once said that ChatGPT is capable of anything other than what you describe.

I've been saying that it's not capable of going beyond what it does, yet. ChatGPT, specifically, may never get there, but technology like it will.

Aside from that, I'd be interested in hearing what you think of the questions I asked.
They're provisioning more chargers than vehicles. The answer seems fairly clear. For now, if you get three EVs at your local post office, I'd expect roughly three chargers installed.
This is not a "breakthrough", it's an announcement that they turned their machine on for the first time and took the first measurements, and measured a signal (i.e. reaction rate) so small that they have to go through some lengths in the paper to convince the reader it actually represents the reaction in question.

This is certainly progress, a genuine accomplishment, and a necessary step along the way to their ultimate goal, but it's a bit of obnoxious puffery to call it a breakthrough, and I don't think it resolves any of the fundamental questions about whether this reaction (which is something like 100x harder than the typical DT fusion reaction) will lead to a viable system in our lifetimes.

>The fundamental argument between jackson1442, Dalewyn, and giraffe_lady is this argument as to whether a "good neighbor" can exist if a community does not exist. Dalewyn is saying "yes", jackson1442 and giraffe_lady are saying "no".

"Good neighbor" and "taking care of your neighbor" are simply figures of speech. If someone is taking them to literally mean a neighbor and subsequently literally a neighborhood, they are demonstrating a gross lack of understanding in the subject matter.

Being a "good neighbor" means being a man of good character. What is a man of good character? Treating others with kindness and professionalism, respecting property and privacy, reciprocating generosity and respect, and protecting the weak and helping those truly in need. None of this is mutually exclusive with individualism.

"Taking care of your neighbor" means to proactively involve yourself in the lives of others, which may or may not be appreciated depending on the recipient (anecdata: I know many people who don't) and is either way none of your business to initiate.

I am making this distinction between "a good neighbor" and "taking care of your neighbor" in my original comment because the two are very different things, and the commenter I replied to was conflating the latter with the former.
The design looks like it would have very good visibility. It's a huge problem with most vans and trucks where you have these huge blind spots in front.
I’m asking this question as someone with zero experience in writing an OS, but who has done limited services development. Would it be an interesting research project to write an OS with the following traits:
1. The purpose of the OS would be to run microservices only
2. The OS would provide the minimum functionality to provide a platform for services to run on the web assembly system interface
3. Some interim solution for providing sockets would have to be built until wasi spec supports it
4. No file system, no writing to disc, OS gets booted from USB, services pulled and initialized from network

Apologize ahead of time if this is a naive question and I need to jump into more traditional OS dev to get my bearing. I’m a mobile/services taking a break and I just happen to currently be intrigued by Rust and WASM.
