CPU -- we all have opinions on uCs. I see that your chosen uC has very low active power consumption, less than 10uA per MHz, suggesting under 1mA full tilt.

Have you run any tests to see if active mode is indeed the mode you're in most of the time? Or is it possible that other uCs that could have better sleep current can beat your uC of choice?

Screen -- I like the Sharp in pixel memory LCD screens, though 4 inches is a bit small. A bigger screen would be what I'd be searching for, but I also know that monitors use a surprising amount of power, and 4 inches is the biggest memory-LCD screen in my area as well.

E-ink, for all of it's faults, does climb to 7+ inches and beyond. But changing eink screens is surprisingly power hungry.

Bluetooth -- lol, there goes the power budget!! This uses what? Probably 10x more power than everything else combined? I/O is a necessity and it's a good feature, but I really do wish* it used less power.
This is a lazy take. I already pay for the WSJ, Bloomberg, 2 magazine subscriptions and probably 5+ streaming services (I've lost count).

I'm happy to pay for content that I know is high quality. But I'm not signing up for hit-or-miss content through a brittle subscribe-and-then-cancel-later-if-you-dont-like-it model when there's no real reason why pay-as-you-go doesn't exist

Can we just pave the streets please?
I'm a bit late responding, but I'll answer anyway. I did read the article and believe I am disagreeing with the author's core point.

In the roofing example, the roof installer is passionate about roofing shingles, but the home owner doesn't have to care about it because he found a roofer who does care. If the roofer is good with people and passionate, but doesn't know the difference between types of shingles, you aren't going to get a good roof. In this case, understanding people is NOT more important that understanding shingles. The expertise of the roofer is what allows the homeowner to not have to care about shingle. But the expert roofer is the rare item. Every random person on the street wants to not have to care, but the expert roofer is rare. I bet business is booming.

For the team example, it's a straw-man that I don't want to conceded to the author. Sure, in some imaginary land, there is a motivated and skilled team that is force to use terrible technology but somehow overcomes this. This is not a useful description. In my experience, skilled teams are experts at choosing and understanding their tools to make technology. For skilled craftspeople, working with others is important and required, but so is being a skilled expert. The expert part is usually more rare than the people part.

The problem I have with the author is that they have picked two poor examples to support a misleading title. In my experience, companies are fully of people who say they understand people, but there is a skilled group with their doors closed making thing work. One day those people leave, and the people running around saying people are more important than technology are suddenly confused why things stopped getting done.
Pre-airbag vehicle steering wheels are also press-fit onto the column splines.
You can own your car but if you get in debt they can come and take it too. That's what living in country with other people is.
It's difficult to sympathize with Stripe when these options coming up on the ten-year mark, especially because we all know the reason it has been taking so long is that they would really like to just raise private capital forever instead of giving these employees their due.
Apparently they might as well add a pony, too.

Why not suggest something workable like excluding them from income taxes for life?
I'm not sure I understand why.
Jeez. Why did you write it like that? The title is from the article (minus, "report says") and the way you've written your comment is unnecessarily inflammatory.
The article says the vehicle was likely using Autopilot, which is a Tesla installed feature - not an unapproved 3rd party component. What led you to say that?
At its peak 1.5% of the population in the US had slaves of all kinds Native, White, Black, Asian. Most objected as it took jobs away. California in particular didn't have slaves, and rejected slavery before it was even part of the union.
How cool would that be then?

To see it wasn't sugars fault.
I wonder whether there could be space here for a bank to come in and specialise in loans to cover the tax bill, using the currently pre-IPO stock as security
I think it's just that it occupies the same "place" as lemon-lime soda (Sprite, 7-Up) in other countries like the US. It's the main "fruity" alternative to Coke.

Obviously guaraná and lemon-lime taste different, but you don't really need both in the same market. Just one main fruity non-cola.

(I'm speaking from the perspective of product lines of course. I totally realize individual consumers may prefer guaraná over lemon-lime or vice-versa.)

This bank did put a ton of the money in T-Bills. The vast majority of the remainder was in boring stuff like longer-term bonds. A very small amount (relatively) was involved in bitcoin lending.

The problem is highly liquid and effectively instantly redeemable wasn't enough when the crypto world melted down and a huge percentage of their depositors needed money back right away. No bank can survive that. Wells Fargo just has customers from a wide enough crosssection that they won't all need their money back at once. But you can imagine it happening to a small local bank following a natural disaster as well.

Silvergate was solvent and has the assets to cover liabilities, just has liquidity issues.

Disallowed from speaking their language, illegal to own land, landlords took all their food, etc.

Could also be for the Japanese during WWII who were shipped off to camps for months to years. Land taken; etc.

I think that's why encryption must play a role if this is a concern. Apparently passwords are "testimonial" level speech and cannot be compelled.
To clarify, do you file a lawsuit against the financial institution or the individuals who requested chargebacks?
Perhaps 200 days? This was already discussed in another thread. But you wouldn't be able to read the screen in darkness, it is reflective and not backlit.

I have SSHed into a Microvax II some times, this is 50 times faster. So possible, definitely.

No network stack yet, although the chip has bluetooth so it'd be possible to make that work, perhaps with a "gateway" device. But it would likely increase power use by 5X.
Yeah, yeah, its all a conspiracy, and the whole population is in on it and invested in it. Thats then is called.. a democracy.. The EU/NATO just seems the best option for small countries with bad neighbours to be left alone.
IIRC, AMD going with TSMC happened around the time GloFo said they're not going to do cutting edge anymore.

Makes me wonder exactly what happened there. Did GloFo hit trouble and give up? Did AMD tell them they weren't going to use them anymore, leading to them giving up? Basically, who dumped who?

Id just personally go with replaceable parts. AA NiMHs are like $1 to $2 these days, and 6V 5Ah lead acid is like $20 (Lol, first hit on google is $4 from some no-name brand).

Replace the battery every few years and you're set. Rely upon mass production, standard part numbers and highly recyclable parts (lead acid wins at this).

-------

Lead Acid is particularly good at UPS style power usage patterns. It's very easy to perpetually trickle charge lead acid.

------

If you're set on Li-ion, then use a standard 18650 cell, so you know that you'll always be able to buy a replacement. But given the attributes I see here, lead acid probably wins. So you have to replace a part every 3 years that costs $5 to $10, big whoop.

> Back in America, most people I knew lived and worked in the same general region/city. Perhaps this is a uniquely Dutch problem

This isn't a uniquely Dutch problem. The longest commute you mentioned:

Utrecht -> Eindhoven: 1 hr 4 min (92.2 km)

isn't unheard of in the US. These are the commutes for a cousin, and a friend's uncle:

Colorado Springs, CO -> Denver, CO: 1 hr 19 min (113.5 km)

New Britain, CT -> New York, NY: 2 hr 4 min (177.1 km)

These are memorable though because they are so long. Many of the people I know have far shorter commutes. For example, my mom would drive 30 min (21km). But, these long commutes definitely exist.

In 2019, 10% of US workers had a 1-way commute of over 1hr. (The average times for transit are quite high in the US, but 90% of commutes are by car so a large portion of that 10% are by car).

https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publicatio...

In 2003, 8% of 1-way commutes were over 56 km.

I was prediabetic in 2020 and lost 40kg in 3 years. Ozempic helped A LOT.

I had to do my homework with exercise + therapy, but this drug made dieting a breeze. It felt like cheating.

Not sure if my experience agrees with any science, but when I was fat I would constantly feel hungry. My mood was terrible. Exercising sucked for physical and mental reasons.

Nowadays maintaining a reasonably healthy routine is much easier, I don't feel as hungry (even after stopping with the drug) and exercising is actually enjoyable.
> a blizzard of excuses about why they can't possibly be inconvenienced, it just sounds a bit more nuanced.

An excellent point. So what have you done to solve the problem?
Which is exactly why I singled out a clear example of something we can reduce and that would be meaningful without incurring a huge negative impact on whether life is worth living or not.

Environmental harm is both multicausal and overdetermined which means we do in fact need to pick (many) specific things which individually do not seem extremely substantial (because they’re not) and start reducing them.
> When reached for comment the task force told TND that "no final recommendations or financial reparations have been finalized or presented yet to the California Legislature."

Which makes this article basically just rage bait.
True partially. There are reparations related to WWII. In fact if you mostly refer to reparations you usually refer to WWII in Europe.

But specifically to California and WWII: Japanese Americans received reparations for the internment. https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2020/03/24/820181127...
ChatGPT is going to win so hard because some large percentage of “internet questions” are perfectly satisfied by absolute bullshit.

And that’s the worrying thing.
The thing is, Sutter's approach is much more sensible when looking at real world adaptation. You can start using the cppfront transpiler, and importantly, if it doesn't work out, you can just use the C++ code generated by cppfront (which Herb Sutter said is meant to be idiomatic and human-readable).
From a risk perspective, a developer will have a much easier time convincing a manager to try using cppfront instead of Carbon.

Maybe once Carbon reaches a stable 1.0 release and has seen some success in production (~2026 maybe?), that point won't be as important, but especially in the beginning it seems to me a deciding factor.

This is not "California" as a whole. This is some commission with no power except to make recommendations, which was hastily founded in June 2020... yeah. These proposals have zero chance of becoming law.

Quite frankly, shame on these people in the commission, because this does nothing but create a giant mismatch between expectations and reality, and it will only end with people getting pissed off at each other.
I don't understand why there's tax on unrealized gains there.
> But prompt engineering is, in much larger part, completely unlike writing code in a programming language, because it can never be understood "from first principles", because neural networks are inscrutable and stochastic by their very nature.

Herein lies the problem, though. Either there are patterns to it, which can be discovered, formalized and understood, or there are no patterns to it. If it's the former, sticking to natural language is stupid, for the same reason eyeballing something is stupid, when a mathematical formula will yield you better results for less effort. If it's the latter, sticking to natural language is stupid too, because the whole system is useless - if there are no patterns to study, you may just as well flip a coin or read from /dev/urandom.

Now, the very existence of prompt engineering tells us we're likely dealing with the first case - with understandable patterns. However, our systems are not black boxes. Prompt engineering is, at its best, turning interactions with LLMs into an empirical science, which makes no sense when dealing with human-made artifacts. We don't need to discover the patterns, we can read them off the thing, and we can adjust the thing to manifest different patterns.

> It's like trying to write production code in an esolang like Malbolge.

It's more like trying to learn programming via scientific method: running sets of random characters through the compiler, evaluating output, making a hypothesis, running more random strings through the compiler, checking if that proves or disproves the hypothesis, and adjusting the next iteration to generate slightly less random character strings - rinse, repeat. Going through all that effort is stupid, because you could just pick up a book instead - programming is a man-made job, and all the rules are designed in.
If the point of this is to correct the disadvantages faced by ancestors which cascade through the generations then it should be determined by number of ancestors not a single qualifying ancestor. If I am 2% African American 98% white, and my 2% ancestor was a slave, do I get the same as someone who the majority of their ancestors from that period were slaves? Did our ancestors face the same amount of disadvantages?
It's not an unapproved third party part. I can understand why you would think that given GP's misleading characterisation of a vendor-supplied OEM part as third party, but Teslas of this era came equipped with MobileEye technology as selected, specified and installed by Tesla.
Unfortunately this is almost the least profitable market segment imaginable and isn't going to be addressed well by capitalism.

I don't mean this in a "capitalist bad" way, it's mostly great but there are certain innovations and technologies that don't fit well with a need to get the most return possible on capital invested. There's a "dead space" of techs that would benefit everyone, need some capital to create - but don't allow a lot of value to be captured.

A bit like how we see more VC excitement about "vat grown meat" (a centralised industrial model that exacerbates supply chain dependency and further alienates people from their food - but is perfect for capturing value) vs working on "super potatoes" or algae-based systems that would be low-dependency and could scale down to individuals.

Orthodoxy is that government is supposed to help with this stuff but they have their own incentives (some of them a result of industry capture) which rarely align with decentralisation, degrowth or reduced dependency. For example recent battles to get laws passed to even allow you to repair your own stuff.
I'm curious, where? I've never been to any part of Asia where drinking orange juice was common.

I don't think it really changes the overall point you're making, but these would presumably be ISOs, not RSUs.
It's pathetic that a journalist would write something like that in an otherwise factual, unopinionated piece.
I think you've accidentally proven his point. Half the things you've mentioned have been around for half a decade at this point, and pretty much all of them have existed for at least 2+ years.

Frontend is still a fast moving space with a large ecosystem - and I get for some, that's not ideal. But this 'frontend fads' meme isn't really reflective of the current reality.

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. That second link seems pretty obvious.
One paper, making one claim, supported only by empirical results, in the current climate (where thousands of papers with similar claims are posted on preprint servers every month) is not "strong evidence". It's more like people saying stuff on social media.
Let's ignore the hyperbole in the title.

Isn't the plan of every company to saturate their product's market with their product?

That said, claiming it's saturation "across the board" then showing a graph showing consistently 20-22% market share seems ... odd?

If anyone can claim saturation it would seem to be Google? There's not a single group where Apple has greater marketshare than Google (for phones/tablets). For Macs the comparison should be to MS, but the marketshare they list for Macs (up to 31%??!?) in this article seems off, which makes me question exactly what/how they're measuring marketshare in general?
This might be worth it if it meant we could in return end the racialized government subsidy systems that are in place. Of course, that wouldn't happen. After all the money is spent and nothing has changed there will just be calls for more reparations.
Ask HN: How important is code quality before product market fit?
So California, a state where slavery was never legal, is going to tax its citizens, many of whom were not in the country when slavery was legal in the south, and call it justice?
How do you think Bitwarden could have handled this better?

An allowlist of domains where iframe autofill is allowed, pre-populated with some vetted examples like apple/icloud mentioned in the article?

At what point do user options trump accessibility? I tell my parents to use Bitwarden because it's more secure than their alternative (plaintext in Google Doc) but they have no idea what an iframe is or how to spot one. If I taught them they'd never remember because it something so seldom used. Password managers are written for an audience much larger than us. Such an option as suggested would be useless to them.

Maybe Bitwarden made the right choice here?
There's benefits to be had for the average developer from being able to easily read the compiler/jit/vm code of their language.

I write Crystal code and the fact that the Crystal compiler is written in Crystal allows me to make my code better/faster by taking a peak into the compiler code occasionally to see how things are done without having to get good at another language.
As with any social justice topic, I always ask: what is the end game? When does the injustice stop? When will we be happy?

If you can't provide an answer, then I am hesitant to buy in. If you can provide an answer, then it signals to me that you are fighting to solve a clear problem, one for which there is a clear and achievable solution, and so my time and effort are worth contributing.

So, SJWs of HN: would a payment of 360K to every black person with slave lineage be enough? Would we be done with race issues and finally able to move on to other problems? If yes, I'm in and I'll even donate to fund the reparations (though I disagree with the concept, personally). But if no, then what does this achieve and how would it be (were it to actually happen) anything other than a powerful political group voting themselves money straight from the treasury?
....would you give your video footage to the neighbour?

....would you want to as sysadmin now manage them any time police comes and wants some footage ?

I think that can definitely work for stuff like internet access, but anything where "private files" and copyrighted content comes to play will be messy
I understand your ulterior motive is to defend Tesla here, but Tesla themselves stopped publishing those stats https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2022-12-27/tesla-stop...
Nothing is absolutely guaranteed in the US legal system, but as I understand it it’s not legally your responsibility.

In the same way you may generally be responsible if you rear end someone, but if it was caused by someone rear ending you then that’s not your fault. That may seem obvious, but if someone stoped several car lengths back to lower the risk of someone getting hit if you’re rear ended. Thus the standard is reasonable precautions rather than requiring people to do absolutely anything possible.
What’s the slowest part of this process?
Make sure you set your cpu frequency governor to "performance".

If your Linux machine is working an order of magnitude slower than you'd expect from the hardware, that's the first thing I'd check.
I think you have a some what confused understanding of what the various roles and duties of these government bodies are. Whatever the purpose of the Treasury Board is (which you do not seem to fully understand since they are not a corporate treasurer), it has nothing to do with whether the CRA operates as a corporation. Furthermore, the CRA is not subservient to any other federal department as it is its own department chaired by the Minister of National Revenue.

Canada does have government bodies that are corporations, as I said the Bank of Canada is one of them, Canada Post is another. The full list can be found here:

https://www.canada.ca/en/treasury-board-secretariat/services...

The CRA is no where on that list.

Here's a bit of a challenge for you to help you clarify your understanding of this. Find one single semi-authoritative source that refers to the CRA as a corporation or describes the operation of the CRA as being like that of a corporation. I'll even take an informal source.

You won't find any, since no one describes the CRA as a corporation and doing so is just confusing. You made it up, and given that Canada does have bodies that operate as corporations, you shouldn't be surprised that making something up like this will elicit disagreement.
This mirrors cars defaulting to eco mode when they are started so they pass emissions in their default state. The emissions once you switch to Sport+ etc are not tested.
Islam bans "Khamr"[1] in the Quran, and the restriction has been widely, if not universally, understood to ban all (non-medicinal) alcoholic drinks since very early on in Islamic history. Even in the Old Testament, Noah gets drunk and naked. So I think people have understood that alcohol can cause significant social and personal problems for a long time.
