>If it doesn't use the normal wiring people already have it's a hard pass from me.

Why? a real smart thermostat can just use the existing wiring for power and then use IP over Wifi or Matter/Thread to communicate. Way better than the crappy wiring in most people's houses for thermostat control.
Moving the goalposts when the definitions don't fit your argument isn't going to change anything. Denying the lived experience of working men does not endear you to them. Try talking with working men instead of down to them next time.
Understood, thanks!

I'm in London using a gas boiler like almost everybody here. Our windows are always open in the summer and also during much of spring and autumn to keep the mold at bay and the air fresh.
We had a mini split installed into our garage (a Daikin that’s been great). I’m not sure how we would do that for the house. It’s a forced air system with outlets and return air in every room. I’m not sure how feasible it would be to pipe the output from a split system into that ductwork.

Someone (YouTube) should just run a recurring ad campaign. Instead of traditional ads it's "Congratulations, you're one of today's lucky 10,000 and you're going to learn about bots and boundaries you should establish while on this platform." [0]

The number could be scaled up. They could select out populations that seem 'with it' and bias it toward anyone who interacts with bot comments other than to report them. I'm sure there are other useful signals.

Without getting into the 'how to block bots' side of the problem, this is one way YouTube could help with the user education without individual creators having to make videos like this or recurring community posts. As noted in other comments, a purely technical solution to ban bots probably isn't going to work.

Yes s/he is. Mitsubishi force you to use their Kumo Cloud controls, which are 1) expensive (a few kk) and 2) require cloud. Supposedly Mitsubishi is replacing Kumo with something else, but that just makes the problem worse.
I think the idea that they work pretty well went out the window in most people’s mind when they threatened to crash the world economy 15 years ago.
Does anyone else marvel at data throughputs nowadays? People talk about 5GB/s NVME cards as being "slow." Same with Internet speeds. It's unreal the progress that we've made (and continue to make.)
PCIe switches just shouldn't be so dammed expensive. A decade ago there was a lot more market competition but now there are, what, two companies with chips?

It has gotten a good bit harder to build, especially with so many of the tricks & tight timings in PCIe 5 and 6, but the lack of market competition has made getting any kind of parts at all much much more expensive.

I'm not exaggerating but this might just be the highest impact library I've seen. As a backend developer who has lots of great project ideas but bail at the thought of having to use JavaScript and HTML, this library is a godsend!

My only question is why it took so long for someone to implement it? And where are the equivalent libraries for Go, Rust and Java?

> In what something is written is irrelevant, please stop with this "written in Rust" as it is not an automatic badge of quality.

It is not an automatic badge of quality for the program itself, but it is an indicator that someone, somewhere is using $LANGUAGE to make a program like that.

It isn't so much promotion for the program itself, but for $LANGUAGE both to attract like-minded programmers who like it as well as show other programmers that $LANGUAGE is using for making things - which perhaps will give them an incentive to check out the language too, if for no other reason than perhaps answering the curiosity some may have about how a program like that is written in that language.

Hacker News is a place full of programmers after all and programmers do tend to care about programming languages and their uses.

A common misconception is that you can use your forced air furnace when the power is out - you can't because the blower relies on electricity to move air around. Your point on the cloud service is a good one, which is why cloud services are value-add but unnecessary for core system functionality, ie your system works if there's no internet.
I believe the rule is not to play until clicked, for videos with sound. However, for videos that don't have sound, they are allowed to play at page-load. Also, due to this functionality, sites now have a sound-less video first play and then switch to a version with sound (faking "un-muting") when clicked. This does have the nice side-effect of eliminating those really annoying ads that used to play at full blast whenever I forgot to mute my laptop's sound. (Nonetheless, I still reflexively turn my laptop's speakers down to 5% when I am not using them after getting burned so many times in public.)
Mitsubishi heat pumps, and most others I assume, have local thermostats that communicate by remote (I assume radio waves), but do not require the cloud. This is a fine solution, as stable as wires but not tied to the cloud.

I spent few weeks playing around with AstroVim and NvChad recently and both of them were pretty good. I personally found NvChad configuration easier to modify.

Yet I found myself pretty far from any IDE level configuration that I'd have wanted. It'd have taken me months to get to the level of productivity that Intellij offers on day one. I settled on Intellij with Vim bindings.

At this point I just want JetBrains to make a terminal based editor.

I'm a Windows admin by day - I tried to daily drive Linux for a while on my main home PC but had issues and ended up just going back to Windows 10 which I've never had any issues with.

I (as of the past year) now own an iPhone and AirPods and have been quite impressed with the experience so I'm going in hoping I'll enjoy using macOS - having seen it from my perspective at work (managed without MDM/ABM, hopeless issues) it's been a pretty bad experience but for home use that shouldn't be an issue at all.

These kids are not doing this to spend money on frivolous things like Fortnite.

I believe the parent comment's point would be better formulated as: We make an exception for child actors but do so thoughtlessly; if we applied the same lines of moral reasoning that leads us to prevent children from working elsewhere, many of those lines would prevent us from making an allowance for paid child actors. But we fail to make the application of those lines of reasoning in this case because of cultural loopholes and blinders, not any limitation in the reasons themselves.

The one line of reasoning I can think of that does limit itself in this regard is the one says "there are no good adult substitutes for child actors, hence an exception," but this is a very cynical moral ground for child labor laws, as there are probably many potential exceptions that could be forced here that we would find profoundly repugnant and we would have to abandon that line of reasoning or be forced to admit we are more interested in industry outcomes than the welfare of children or our moral worth.

> except high end desktop

Could you share why you think this is true? I'm not disputing it, but I'm also not as certain as you are.

I have a hunch that manufacturers don't care one way or another. Manufacturers are going to manufacturer things as long as consumers are buying things.

Perhaps by manufacturers you meant "competitors" or "other hardware companies" - if so, I suspect they're less worried about AR in general disrupting traditional "computing hardware" models, and more concerned that it's Apple doing it.

Apple has flops, and Apple has wins, and Apple's competitors have frequently underestimated as much as they've overestimated Apple's ability to pull something off.

Personally: I don't have high expectations, as much as I'd love to see the idea itself succeed. $3K is just too much money for your typical consumer, even if the tech is some "whole new level" sort of experience for end users.

Perhaps if there are obvious "non-mainstream" uses (imagine industrial applications where an information rich, contextual OSD helps speed up processes or improve quality/yield, or medical uses that can overlay valuable info, etc), then maybe $3k makes sense.

The high price is only one issue. There's all the other stuff (well described in other comments) as well.
What does HN suggest?

Another hobby? Some Sun swag instead? Biting the bullet and buying what you want?

I mean the specifics of this isn't something where what works for me is going to work for you. And vice versa. It's your nostalgia, your money, and your time.

To me, it looks like a tinkering hobby. There are lots of things to tinker on. Sun workstations look like one where getting stuff to work smoothly or run at all is a rabbit hole of eBay searches without the wealth to just buy whatever you want.

It's premium GAS or parts collecting with finding replacement custom ASIC's and soldering bad caps on disc controllers. Sun workstations aren't C64's or even Amigas.
Hi Chris, I’m an investor in Carrier Global the largest manufacturer of HVAC equipment. Curious on how you see your product differentiating yourself from their heat pumps, I.e superior specs? Also, I believe Carrier sells residential heat pumps directly to consumers through their service centers and also through large commercial deals, so not sure if your business model is strictly different than theirs.

And I would pay quite a bit for borrowing that 800k since the era of rock bottom interest rates is over. I have run the numbers multiple times. After the property taxes, utilities, maintenance, debt servicing and insurance, I’d be spending quite a bit more of my income for housing than I do now for a similar property. The people who own my house have benefited from absolutely massive asset appreciation over the past 10 years and are grandfathered in on much lower property taxes. I would pay 4x the property tax, double the loan rate and the possibility of the home price going up 4x like they experienced seems pretty remote.

I think the fact on the ground is that the housing market is not fair and that some people get incredibly lucky in their timing and others would be just better off renting.

HIFIMAN Sundara’s (planar magnetic) are only like $299 on Amazon. So if it is a scam it isn’t a particularly effective one, I mean the audiophile sector has people selling magic speaker stands for thousands of dollars; if HIFIMAN wanted to rip people off they surely could do a better job.

I’ve got some HE400i’s from them. Unfortunately I can only compare against some closed back Sennheisers (HD 380 pro) so it is not really an apples-to-apples thing. But the difference is pretty obvious, there’s more diaphragm and more power behind it. Bass ends up sounding a bit more crisp.

Fine the companies that hire illegal workers. I don't know why so many in this thread have some delusion that the companies 1.) are acting in good faith or 2.) aren't intentionally using illegal immigrants for cheaper labor.

Fine the companies and the problem will solve itself. Another poster in this thread mentioned a case where Tyson coached an illegal immigrant. Illegals wont unionize, demand maternity or workers comp; and if they do, you call ICE and pretend you don't know how they showed up.

pyenv needs to have its shims in place by running the pyenv init. You can run it when your shell starts but I find it kind of slow and for a while it used to be wonky in fish. But once I run the init, pyenv does work.

That's just for managing your python installation and virtualenv though. You still need to manage your packages and for that you have options like requirements.txt, pipenv (not pyenv lol), Poetry, and others.
Several things helped her accept the situation.

1. We regularly share photos through private photo albums. This allows her the same exposure to photos of the grandchildren as social media would.

2. We made it clear she's free to share photos with people via direct text messages. It adds a bit of friction and keeps the photos relatively private.

3. Explained that it's the right of our children to control their presence online (with some parental assistance). They aren't old enough to do that so until then, please don't share.

4. Emphasize many times that it's about protecting and empowering our kids. It's not about preventing her from showing off her grandchildren.
>We are waiting for huggingface to officially support the llama models (i.e. this PR to be merged) before we release a stable version of the finetuning code.

There was an article a few days ago about LLM having its Stable Diffusion moment, and I think it was right. We went from LLama release > llama.cpp > Dalai and now an instruction tuned model in under 2 weeks.
Risk is not proportional to momentum.

It's proportional to likelihood and impact and is determined entirely by context.

Vehicles, cycles and pedestrians need segregated context to protect all of them.

The moment a bicycle is on a pavement, it increases the risk to pedestrians to an unacceptable degree, which is why it is illegal in the UK (and many other countries).

Your argument basically points out that a car on the pavement would be higher risk, but the fact that the car on the road poses a problem to cyclists on the road (which is your intent), isn't the pedestrian's problem. You're basically saying "for me to be safer, I will make others less safe". Do you realise that how that sounds to pedestrians, given bike riding is a choice in a way being a pedestrian is not? You could just walk too.

Your argument is fallacious and is rooted in the idea that cyclists' lives are more important than pedestrians. The truth is all lives are important. Yes, road usage needs to be safer for cyclists, but that doesn't mean you get to raise risks for pedestrians just because.

The law is the law.

Man... I remember as a kid we had salesmen going around in our neighborhood selling "water magnetizers", and asking people to A-B-taste magnetic and normal water. A neighbor ended up buying the thing! And it was actually expensive, it wasn't a 10 bucks scam. It required ordering and took a few weeks to arrive. Then I went to check it out and it was just a cover for those commercial watercooler bottles with some magnets. But they swore their water tasted better.

I would highly recommend Poetry for python package management. It basically wraps around pip and venvs offering a lot of convenience features (managing packages, do dist builds, etc.). It also works pretty nicely with Tox.

I would recommend using virualenvs.in-project setting so Poetry generates venv in the project folder and not in some temporary user folder.
Animal personalities can trip up science, but there’s a solution
It depends on your workflow and on your resolution too. For example I do most things exclusively inside the terminal. If you are using vim, and are making use of splits, on a 4k60hz(or 1440p144hz) screen and want to scroll on one split and not the other, you will notice how slow and laggy redraws are. This was especially noticeable on macos (yay work computers) for me, which led me down the GPU accelerated terminal rabbit hole. iterm2 had its metal renderer, which (at the time) only worked with ligatures disabled, whereas kitty/wez/etc did not have that limitation.

The litmus test I use is how smooth can the terminal emulator run `cmatrix` at fullscreen
Yes, making spare parts and service work is super important. We'll likely set up regional distribution points for spare parts so anything critical can be easily sent next day.

Would you feel differently if the kids' parents were working in the same plant, were nearby, and were comfortable with the situation?
