Without going too deep: If you need 100% backup for solar, why use solar?

I built a 13 kW array. During recent rains I saw it go down to 600 W peak output. Without 100% backup it would be pointless. I can’t charge electric cars with this, it isn’t enough. I’d have to install a ridiculous amount of storage to to make it viable for a range if use cases. Four years ago, when I installed it, I was idealistic about solar. Four years later I understand the hard-cold reality vs. the fantasy of solar.
To make it concrete, I think they're saying, if state "rows" depends on state "filter" and "sortOrder", people write `useEffect(() =>setRows(...), [filter, sortOrder])`.

Ie writing reactive code but relying on the React render loop to trigger reactions. The problem is that you can no longer step through your code in full and as you say, your code now mandates flushes to the DOM that are unnecessary (mid computation).

It's better to setRows at explicit places or learn and use a library like rxjs if you really need to encapsulate that complexity.

Don't need to explain me what demographics means, but even after studying your exlanation in detail I think it 100% fits what can be understood as star demographics, transferring your explanation of a "study about stars".. maybe it is because I have read too many things in this area but "What is the distribution of stars visible" feels off, and I also find the nit picking on how to do titles right off.

Anyway, the question was, to understand the other side better: What did you expect? (Not please explain me demographics in its original meaning :( )

Btw, "population of stars" is what it is exactly about and the term since almost a century: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_population
> You don’t have to do all validation on the server side.

Yes you do.
> It's a fairly straightforward conclusion that most visible stars are more massive than the Sun.

I can imagine that scientists have figured out accurate ways to measure the "actual" brightness of stars and including our sun, and maybe in retrospect using some simple insights and tricks, but it's not obviously straightforward at all.

Let's hypothesize that our sun is the most massive star in the galaxy, and what we look at in the sky are the rest of the stars in decreasing order of size, with the largest the most visible. How is it straightforward to conclude that that's not true? And are we declaring Newton's accomplishments straightforward?
Oh, interesting... thanks!
how is this really any different than the web today?

online anonymity means people can post content that they would never defend in public, so the internet is full of outrage, hyperbole, trolling

no one seems to mind all the shitposts, getting into flamewars is now a national pastime

What does alpha mean in this context?
Where do I sign up to play with these levels of leverage of other people's money too?

Where even getting margin called on extremely big margins compared to my initial investment, the government would sweep in because that margin wasn't even mine to play with?

Where I get absolutely ridiculous interest rates from the Fed which I don't need to pass on to my meat shield clients, I just get literally free money from the central bank?

All these privileges for no responsibility. This has to end. If we all admit it's other people's money, and we all admit that in failure, the government will also cover for them, and they get to play these completely absurd investments with leverage of 20 to 1, their privilege is just unjustified.

When the broker fucks up and let you blow your margins, the broker pays the bills. But banks get to blow the margins with everyone's money and somehow the government only comes in when they blew it, but wasn't responsible to keep tabs on their margin in the first place? And there's barely any margins, the leverage ratios are insane.

Of course debt holders would require much higher interests. The whole thing is just a sad scheme where the government is letting privileged entities a monopoly of using leverage on other people money, while the government holds the tail risk.

I would love to get 20 to 1 margin with the government taking all the tail risk to zero and allowing me to dip below zero by design. If I blew it I could start again just like Lehman CFO which moved over to SVB.

If you take their responsibility, you have to take their privileges too.

UK prepares cash lifeline for tech companies hit by Silicon Valley Bank collapse
How is giving financial leverage to people with not enough cash in the bank, but a solid forseeable revenue stream "a form of deliberate rationing and enforced political hierarchy"?

It's like wishing that healthcare system wouldn't exist because you imagine a world where people were just healthy instead.
Hope it will slowly percolate down to other companies which copied this shitty work culture while not providing any other benefits that the FAANG provided.
>Personally I hope rates stay above several percent for the foreseeable future, for climate/resource reasons.

I don't know what this has to do with climate or resource reasons. Cutting down the rain forest, polluting the planet with CO2 and sitting on interest payments are optimal in that scenario. Ultimately positive interest rates encourage corruption and short term thinking because earning money today ,no matter the cost, is better than earning money in the future.

Meanwhile with lower interest rates the future isn't discounted anymore and it is worth it to invest in emission reductions.

> The UK chancellor is preparing a dramatic intervention to provide a cash lifeline to scores of tech businesses next week as he seeks to contain the damage caused by the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank.

> Jeremy Hunt was looking to “avoid or minimise damage to some our most promising companies in the UK”, the Treasury said in a statement at 7.30am on Sunday.

> “We will bring forward immediate plans to ensure the short-term operational and cash flow needs of Silicon Valley Bank UK customers are able to be met,” the Treasury said.
This is exactly what happens when lack of scientific literature and manager hubris collide together.

After decades and decades there are still no conclusive results about how different types of workplaces influence productivity and mental health, but even if there were manager would not even look at them and instead make decisions based on perceived productivity and "common sense".
I've worked my entire career in open plan offices and if I were ever asked to work in a US style cubicle farm I'd resign inmediately.
Not at all, I'm speaking of the button at the top-right corner of the document window, not the browser's one, sorry. I understand now that the horizontal display mode is boring for lot of people and I changed the default display to [vertical]. So you will see now a [horizontal] button at the top-right corner of the document's window, if you want to test it. And it's not so bad in a smartphone. IMHO.
>Facebook was paying a 40 – 50% premium for talent because people didn’t want to work under those conditions

You can mitigate some of the noise with a good pair of noise cancelling headphones. There are far more fundamental reasons for them paying that premium.

It stores well, I've recently taken moda I ordered nearly 10 years ago and noticed no appreciable difference.
I remember reading somewhere that this whole open office space started with startups that couldn't afford cubicles. And because startups were doing it, it became trendy and everyone copied it.

Cant remember where I read it, but I have no problem believing it.
I still don't understand:

Why did Linux surpass BSD?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/386BSD
as with many of these "haha tech nerds are rediscovering old things" comments, my instinctive response is:

yes, it is Good Actually that we are continually questioning and testing received wisdom. If we end up reinventing old things from first principles, that means we have all the more confidence in them, rather than relying on the unalive momentum of tradition and path dependence.

people who sneer at reinvention can be too smug sometimes. we owe all progress to the unreasonable men and women who are too arrogant to do anything but poke and prod at life on their own terms.
That model is more sustainable than aggregators of (say) dog walkers. Everyone found a dog walker they liked through the app, then hired them directly.
I am pretty sure that first AGI will escape a VM if we won't be careful
I mean it became trendy because cubicle farms are depressing cautionary tales of a sea of shattered dreams

The cubicle itself has utility, nobody denied that

I worked at a large company which had a mix between open plan desks and cubicles, and teams would take a cluster of nearby "semicles".

I think that arrangement is a good balance between being able to put your headphones on and focus on your work with a bit of privacy, but also being able to turn your chair around and brainstorm things or quickly chat to an architect, etc.

Thank you. Perhaps the term "Astrographics" would have been more fitting. This is _exactly_ how words are coined.
I understand the feeling. However, it feels more convincing when this is also maintained in a 'shared' account. Thanks for the reply.
I don't think you can really produce replicable scientific literature about this type of thing. Way too many variables.

We are already incapable of replicating studies with fewer variables.
Customers who hold money at banks are not the problem - individual savers losing some cash savings is not systemic risk and substantial cash savings are rare anyway after 10 years of zirp.

Company bash balances are the problem here, which for any companies greatly exceed insured deposits and these cash deposits are required to meet payroll and other commitments if they are not making profit at present (most startups).

Hundreds of thousands losing their jobs because of multiple bank runs is the risk at this point, because of companies unable to pay workers/services and unable to raise more money.
Might work for some, but personally my ears and hearing wouldn't cope with a whole day of NC headphones, let alone 5 days a week.

Also, sometimes I like having music/noise on but sometimes not.
Honestly, if I was asked to choose between a 10% raise or a cubicle, I would take the cubicle in a heartbeat.
I feel like there would be a lot less push back against returning to the office, if offices still had actual individual offices. People have realised how unpleasant working in open plan warehouses is.
There's very interesting and easy implementation for Tsetlin Machines in hardware that I think have possibility to replace transformers (I am not in field though so might be wrong).
At this point I don't trust TV shows to be anything but sprinboards for subsequent creativity: you know the show's going to go rotten sooner or later, mostly each new season is a step down in quality and consistency. So the best thing to do is to take the story into your own hands for further what-if discussions.

An example: Jon Snow gets stabbed and somehow next season comes back from the dead... Well no sir, he is actually being replaced by the faceless man, Arya won't be fooled but all others will.

Just take the story from there and have fun discussing what happens next.

Same for Stranger Things after season one...

I'd like to see a post-mortem or some sort of regulatory investigation to understand how it all went wrong. SVB had a risk management department, so what compelled SVB to make the decision that sealed its fate?
Last years fake content was mostly about text/tweets/blogs/replies.

However you feel about the situation you have to admit there is a massive conflict of interest here. You have a clear financial incentive to have the American people bail out the companies you invest in.
Actually, certain alogrithmic "stablecoins" are designed to oscillate around fiat so it is possible to be higher than $1. An example is AMPL: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ampleforth/. Of course, its value oscillates so much that "stable" might be a misnomer, but that is its goal.

> On top of that, the first thing people cut when they have money problems are luxury subscriptions they don't really need.

The photos tell a different story. The new cubicles reduce noise from the corridor but still provide line of sight between employees (ie, no privacy benefits).

AMD"s 7000 laptops already have an Apple-like NPU, and Intel is following shortly after that.

The only thing that would be more in tune for a HN comment would be someone saying “if someone ever forces me to switch to a modern ide from eMacs I’ll quit immediately.”

yep all the hacks which have broken it sure have me proven wrong. gosh.

the thing isn't even capable of the devastating things you all fear. it's a minimal CPU (a slow 486 on Intel chips) with a miniscule web server which is off unless configured to be on and it can't read your disk or read RAM. all it can do is talk to hardware. it's how you configure the bios without rebooting at the console.
I don't understand this analogy.

I worked in a couple of open offices. The worst was one where "hot desking" was a thing and they didn't even have meeting rooms. All meetings were conducted at the desks using Skype. I didn't know from day to day who I would be sat with and how much noise they were going to make.

After that I was still in an open office but it had no hot desking and people didn't take calls at their desk. That was a lot better. After the first one it seemed great.

Then COVID happened and I started working from home and it was amazing. I questioned whether I'd even done any work in the past few years. It was so much better.

Then I got depressed because living in the same four walls day in day out gets to you.

Now my workplace has also reintroduced cubicles and I work mostly from home still but regularly work in the office in a cubicle. This is the bet set up I've had so far. I get enough of a dose of "office" but I'm still able to actually work in the office. I get to do the majority of my "head down" work in peace in a familiar environment with no commute. It's pretty good.

Bank of England Shuts Silicon Valley Bank’s U.K. Subsidiary
I'm glad that someone is finally switching to a higher voltage. It's so much more efficient and will save quite a bit of weight in wire gauge. I wonder if other manufacturers will follow suite. If Ford or GM switched it would trigger an avalanche and the whole 12v "community" (suppliers, manufactures, etc.) would switch. Then everyone would benefit.
Likely plenty. Most of the smaller banks without sophisticated risk management likely haven't hedged against interest rate risk or adjusted their bond portfolios as interest rates rose. Unfortunately none of the regulatory frameworks even take interest rate risk into account, likely because of a 30 year bull run in bonds made everyone complacent to it. Generally speaking they only really monitor stress under a certain amount of bad debt (i.e failed loans) and risk level of assets held. T Bills get basically perfect zero risk score despite being heavily exposed to interest rate risk.
There is basically no real chance the risk of default was actually 12%. I will absolutely buy the risk of default could be 4-5%, which is why you don't see me filling my pockets with USDC at 94-96c.

Below 90c with the information we had on Friday was a silly price.

It's not only in companies, the same logic works for any bureaucracies. Examples such as overregulation in EU or large universities bodes well for this argument.
The point is this is immensely resource intensive model which can only be trained and developed at scale only by companies with massive amounts of funding. Small players and non tech companies have little choice. OpenAI will do everything to monopolize this.
I have yet to experience noise cancelling headphones that actually cancel all sounds like people talking. So far it only seems to work for low frequency background noise.

I got some airpods pro for their supposedly great ANC and was really disappointed in how limited it actually was.
Genuine question (I don't really know anything about crypto or finance): why isn't coinbase buying up USDC at these prices? They should have confidence USDC will repeg as they hold the backing assets, and may as well prop up the price of USDC to maintain confidence while keeping any price difference as profit.
That's gotta be a 2x real estate overhead for current headcount. If they did that, they'd probably rather just go remote.
The real pro move would have been to create a Stripe payment link for your entire balance (and hit it as many times as you need to up the Stripe transaction maximum), and use your corporate SVB card to pay it all into your Stripe account. That way you don't have to use the bank wire facility, but can use the card networks.

I'm not sure that actually "works" in a situation like this. But it sounds good on paper I think.
It became popular because Startups need a lot more collaboration and it’s thought that open offices lead to more collaboration.

When the startups became huge and successful, they didn’t go back to cubicles because the open office was what they used when they were having business success.

Then all the other companies started copying them because they think it will lead them to be more innovative like the startups.

Having been around for cubicles, its surprising to see them described by a new generation as some kind of utopian ideal. Even if they are round now, instead of square. Roundicles?

Best not think too much about what we will call the ones for the test team.
No? External changes to variables trigger reloads too, it was quite a nice experience coming from back end and hobby game dev.

Now, the reactive blocks, where an update to _any_ variable used in them trigger the re-evaluation seemed rife for abuse - particularly when the variables could be brought in from other files, but I forget the mechanics behind that.

I used it plenty of course. Forgot how it worked the day after I stopped working on the project though.

For example, this file
https://github.com/sk0g/peripheral-emulator-web-app/blob/mas...

Edit: unless you mean lines like `ultrasonicDetectedDistance.update(v => v = distance)`, which yeah was an interesting quirk. Not enough of a pain to go with something like React, thought that wouldn't meet the latency requirements for this project. TBF neither did Svelte entirely, but it got close.

The article doesn’t say whether this appears to flicker on a CRT. Although pixel response time is quite good on a CRT TV, I remember it taking a while for the brightness of pixels to ramp down, which may dampen the flickering.
