It's true what they say, everybody wants to think of themselves as middle-class
To be fair, all industry is "messing with ecosystems", and in particular the energy industry is doing so with far more per-kWh impact, and globally. This is very much like the "birds vs. windmills" arguments. Yes, it's important to recognize externalities to any decision and have a plan for mitigation where needed. But at this scale, "look-here-is-a-problem" tunnel vision just creates paralysis.
I was torn on what to call it - debated using the term "state failure", which I think is more accurate but few people truly know what that means. Basically, I'm referring to an event that breaks our conceptions of what it means to be "civilized" - basically, that you follow laws, adhere to contracts, respect government authority, have a well-defined political process, pay with a stable currency, can count on your personal property rights and past savings being respected, etc.

You can have civilization-ending events that don't involve everyone dying - the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 was one. It was still hugely disruptive to everyone who lived in the Eastern Bloc. The U.S. Civil War is another one, though plenty of people died then too. It's not the end of all civilization, just the civilization we're in.
Hell, Harbor Freight sells really shitty welders for less than $150, so if someone was looking to practice at home, for cheap, with a slightly different system, it seems you could get a lot of mileage out of that for cheaper than a $3,000 VR system,
or having to fight for limited time on an industrial grade system. Obviously it's not the same thing, but practice practice practice.
Maybe we ought to think about water pipelines running from east to west...
It's a bit of both for me. I'd say 90% of it is from simply having types; 10% is from some of the cool things you can do with TS types that aren't common in most statically typed languages.
I would expect it's because Brave advertises itself as being privacy friendly. If you use Chrome you know what you're getting, if you use a browser that claims to be focused on privacy you expect better.
Assuming the economic projections are accurate, the amount of good the energy would do, not least of which from the reduced CO2 emissions and reduced poverty, absolutely dwarfs the environmental damage caused by the placement of solar panels in the relatively small area of sparsely populated desert ecosystems that would be required.

This absurdly short-sighted environmental obstructionism reminds me of how it ended up being the Green parties, and environmental groups like Greenpeace, that were the biggest impediment to the expansion of nuclear power - which is far and away the most promising substitute for fossil fuels - over the last four decades, and consequently and farcically, it was the environmental movement that ended up becoming perhaps the single biggest contributor to CO2 emissions since 1970.
CDs are duration deposits, but you can still get the money out minus some fees associated with the early withdrawal. That doesn't help the run on the bank situation.
> They are telling you you can have all that money immediately.

I don't think they're even telling you that. And that is absolutely not what we were taught about banks in school. I think that banks do assume that everyone basically knows how banking works, though, so they don't engage in an educational program about it when you open an account.

What banks have told me is that my deposits are safe (in the sense that I won't lose my money) up to $250k. That's true enough. And I also remember reading the paperwork I signed when I've opened accounts where they specifically say that my deposits might not be available at the moment I want to withdraw them, for various reasons.
> That sure sounds like you're advocating breaking the law to me.

It may sound like it but I'm not. Who knows how one's memory might function in a stressful situation.

> Rich people may be able to get away with it, but that doesn't magically make it OK.

What makes it okay is the ruling class who create and operate the judicial system get away with it, so it's okay for commoners to too.
When I see the ground under an oak tree covered in acorns, most of which will be food, my first thought is definitely not that the tree is engaging in k-selection.
Totally spot on. Swift could be this incredible language with all sorts of dialects suited for lower or higher level programming. But the ecosystem and corporate sponsors surrounding it continue to ensure that it remains nothing more than a UI App language for one kind of Mobile phone. It's pretty darn unfortunate IMHO. The state of SourceKit and SPM are pretty sad IMHO.
This is less and less true as Java evolves. For example Java streams expect you to use Optionals to represent absence, which means they interoperate awkwardly with Kotlin which expects you to use Kotlin nullable types to represent absence. Another example: Kotlin has gone through multiple rounds of different ways of doing async, none of which is compatible with Java's new fiber implementation, so they'll either have to go through yet another incompatible rewrite of how they do async or be more incompatible with future Java libraries.

Subjectively, a lot of Kotlin features are implemented in a kind of ad-hoc way because they're designed to be as easy to use up-front as possible, at the cost of consistency. So the language has a kind of "technical debt" - it's hard to evolve it in the future. Add in the fact that the language lacks the higher-level abstraction facilities that would let you work around these incompatibilities (e.g. Scala has its own Option that's different from Java Optional - but this isn't a big problem because you can write a generic function that works on both. But you can't write a function Kotlin that works on both Java Optionals and Kotlin nullable types), and I'm really skeptical about its future.
Nuclear power plants are great, but you need to maintain an energy mix that doesn't make you dependent on a single source.

Consider the French nuclear infrastructure; by Sept 22, 32 of 56 reactors were off for maintenance or technical problems. Several reactors were affected by a welding issue that created cracks and made them inoperable.

Edit: typo.
People love to nitpick, and hypocrisy is always perceived as worse than just doing bad things even when the bad things are much worse than the thing they did that's hypocritical.

Perfect is the enemy of good and all that jazz. It's basically impossible to try to be a good actor/explain a good thing without HNers throwing whataboutisms at you.

Of course maybe Brave is actually a bad actor, but none of the things people are calling them out for are meaningful evidence of that. The thing they did wasn't a tracking mechanism, it was just a sponsorship deal.
The statistics for SUV’s are really bad overall and can look even worse depending on the age range you call “kids.”

“The study, published in The Journal of Safety Research, found that passenger cars were the striking vehicle in 62% of accidents involving pedestrian or cyclist children but resulted in only 19% of fatalities. In comparison, SUVs were the striking vehicle in only 16.9% of crashes involving children but were responsible for 40% of fatalities.”
I agree with you, and with the chair and stuff that's also included, this thing probably costs tens of thousands of bucks and should include literally everything you need. So I suspect they're just using it as slang for a computer. Like old Nintendo games did! "VS CPU" mode etc.

The whole tower is probably almost a rounding error in the hardware cost of this setup!

The market will compensate for it.

We might end up seeing peaker plants. We might see companies taking advantage of the price difference to cheaply run energy-intensive industry like aluminium smelting. We might see companies trying to take advantage of the price difference by building storage batteries. We might even end up incentivizing consumers to shift their usage patterns by providing cheaper electricity during low-demand periods.
No, it usually returns a parsed object. For example the gql tag in the apollo client libraries return a completely parsed query with all its various children and sub-objects.

> ChatGPT doesn't understand the meaning of those tokens, and therefore ChatGPT has no concept of "truth." ChatGPT cannot deliberately lie or tell the truth, it has no understanding of such things

It does encode meaning, but just knowing things doesn't give you the ability to know if they are true. A human brain in a jar that was only fed text from the internet also wouldn't be able to verify what it learned against reality.

Chomsky has the flawed conception of language. It is just one tool (though a very powerful one) that humans use when reasoning.

Yup, that was my experience - otherwise you end up paying some kb of runtime attached. - One of my TSR was to transform the 320x200x256 buffer from one game into hercules (640x200) mono (1bit) mode. For the Trolls game - it was super slow, but worked, and it was more enjoyable making the hack, than playing it.

Another cool feature (back then) was this TSR which would let you save the state of the RAM running, and then save again and again, and by doing diffing you can find where certain game would keep life points, etc.
When I was much younger and a bit stupider I spent a weekend in jail for neglecting to fix a broken side view mirror on my car. That turned into a "failure to appear before the court," which put me in in jail for a weekend.

What the author of the article describes is almost the same thing, but worse. At least in jail people were chatty and friendly (I know, right?). But there were times when you'd be in a cell by yourself for 6+ hours and that was not fun at all.

I don't recommend that the OP do it the way I did it.
There is a scale to influencing change in the environment. Any amount of change is not "messing up" with ecosystems, as you put it.

In fairness, some of those are rather tied to the operating system, to the point where you're really asking for them to develop an entire new application that happens to do the same thing on a different platform. platform. I mean, yes, it should exist, but I think it's perfectly reasonable for a firewall to be tied to a specific operating system.

Pure user application software is less reasonable, though.

Its this kind of stuff that makes me think all the global warming hysteria must be overblown. If it were really as dire as environmentalists would have you believe, they wouldnt be fighting this kind of stuff (or nuclear).

The only real accomplishment the global warming people have achieved is to make energy much more expensive and energy supplies much more unstable (e.g. california, europe)

Most environmentalists surely have good intentions, but they (like most people) are not experts on climate science and those that are have conflicted interests. For academics, you can only get one answer or you are cast out and shunned as a big oil lackey. For activist groups like greenpeace etc they only raise money by being alarmist. And then some are simply motivated by the desire to hurt western economies.

It seems absurd to me that spending $10B on a transmission cable from Africa to the UK is more sensible than spending that amount to make a much shorter cable to southern Europe and increasing capacity at bottlenecks along the way (including within the UK). That takes a lot more cross-governmental cooperation, of course.
Also multiple banks might be under one FDIC account so you have to check that too
You might want to focus on cleaning up your existing content and making it stand out rather than worrying about adding more.

Picking a section, look at everything under "Concepts". Almost all of these pages tell you nothing about what it means to apply the concept or practice to Rust. They are about "X in Rust" because the words "in Rust" are scattered about in them, but remove those and nothing is lost.

And for a page that actually is applicable to Rust, (picked because I'd used the library recently) your page demoing CLAP is out of date, which makes sense given you mention using ChatGPT to generate the content (same as the above). It's out of date by over a year now. 3.1.0 deprecated the API calls you're using in your example, and they're absent in 4.1.8 (current version).

I opened a lot more pages and saw similar issues to the above but I didn't feel like cataloging them. If you want this to be a page to give people new to Rust, you need to give them content that is current and actually applicable to Rust. At least make the TDD page point to other existing sources on how to use TDD in Rust, for example, even if you don't flesh it out yourself.
And based on a comment above, it sounds like uBlock origin can also do this, which was news to me!
I think the Wilhelm scream is just annoying. It's an unnatural and goofy scream. I still appreciate it as a tradition though.
> So "solar isn't going to make this happen" is kind of missing that.

That's a common fallacy in thinking about this. When you get to hundreds of millions of vehicles there is no such thing as a more convenient time. You'll have massive power requirements 24/7/365.

People tend to think about this in terms of their own micro view of the universe as opposed to the problem at scale. Once you do that, and apply numbers to it, not just wave a magical wand, the reality of the matter becomes visible.

In my case, I wanted to understand this in some detail. I wrote a simulation many years ago to do just that. It was interesting to see my numbers confirmed years later once the question started to be asked. BTW, my model predicted a range between 900 GW and 1400 GW. The accepted estimate today is approximately 1200 GW.

Another popular simplification is to say something like: You have 300 million vehicles. Divide them such that 1/24th of them start charging every hour and that solves your problem. Only 12.5 million cars are plugged in at any given time.

Well, no, that's not the way reality works. This is the equivalent of over-simplified academic physics problems where everything starts with the equivalent of "assume a cow is a uniform sphere of milk one meter in diameter". Works great for simplifying problems. Sucks at painting reality.
I explain a bit more what I mean here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35087159

I consider climate-change to be another potential civilization ending event in that it's going to create ripple effects that will likely lead to present-day governments falling. But I'm not referring to it as an effect here - TBH, I think the consequences of climate change are already locked in at this point and we're going to face them regardless of what we do.

I mean "civilization ending" as in "the rules are unknown or non-existent". As in, our civilization ends, not civilization for all time ends. There will be new forms of cooperation and political organization - I suspect they'll grow out of local governments.
True, but it is not opinion, and is reporting results contained in a paper. The reporting itself looks pretty even handed. (For example, paragraph 5 reads, "At the same time, the results do not prove a direct link between lockdowns and a drop in intelligence among school children.")

The paper itself also looks comprehensive (a French academic partnership, without conflicting interests if the paper's disclosure statement is to be taken at face value). A more substantive conclusion would need quite some reading.

As a parent, is a hugely disappointing finding. It's not appropriate to dismiss it simply on the basis of it being reported in the Telegraph.

It will hopefully be a catalyst for further work, and inform future NPI-based responses.

I believe the RFCs do not require URLs to have any editable structure to them (beyond host+port+path+query). In particular the path has no particular semantics and the path+query can hold any values that the server accepts. So the server can define a URL to be well formed in any way they want. Editing a URL on the client is a historical accident at best.
Yes, but you are missing out on the whole economics of solar power. Anyway, I think I've done enough to try to explain why your base assumption that 'quality correlates with price of the goods are limited in quantity' doesn't always hold. What is happening here: there is a backlog for those that are willing to work for a rate that makes the economics of solar work (both for them as subcontractors/employees, their employers and the customers) and outside of that envelope (which is a filter I really should have mentioned) people may be available but unable to get jobs.

If you're arguing that solar power installations are too cheap then you may well have a point but that isn't going to convince a lot of people to change to the point where it is no longer viable. If anything the market is getting more and more competitive as more people enter it. In 2005 I paid about $30,000 for a solar power system that produced 3200 Watt on a good day in March, today I paid about $12000 for a system that produces well over 10KW. Installation costs as a fraction of the total bill has gone up, not down during that time, but in an absolute sense they've gone down because installations are now much simpler and far more routine. Back then every installation was an experiment, now it is routine.

It always seems nice to be able to simplify things to the point where they become soundbites but reality is rarely that simple.

Anyway, I repeat: the accent was on dependable. That does not necessarily correlate with price (though it would nice if it did...).
FDIC insurance is similar in the sense that if the feds ever have to say "don't worry that JP Morgan or <other large consumer facing bank> is going under, most of you will be covered within the FDIC limit", then we're fucked in so many other ways it doesn't matter. That is after all why we invented the term "systemically important".
No responsible bank says that. They absolutely have the right to limit withdrawals, and they explicitly say that if you read the fine print.

As the other person said, this is largely a strawman. It would be possible to build some kind of black box system, but it's not mandatory. An OK/NOK pizza classifier could do so without telling you why, and in some measures may be more robust than some kind of filter, threshold, morphological rules, pepperoni counter, but the latter will not tell you if something is wrong with the crust. A pepperoni object detector would be trivial and way more robust than whatever classical pepperoni finder you could build.
Aren't most (all?) of those clearly owned and register to the individual regardless of which bank holds them? If the bank holding my stock goes out of business, it is still my stock. It doesn't just evaporate with the bank unless there is some fraud involved. Some other bank will swoop in to buy those accounts and my stock will move there.

The main concern here is likely less about straight-up losing any of those investments and more the huge headache that comes with being unable to access your money while the whole process plays out.
