With a high enough density of automated vehicles cooperating cars can be packed much closer together at speed. The questions are 1) what's that level and can we ever get to it and 2) will we get people to agree to slave their cars to a cooperative scheme like that.
This is mostly caused by panic, not reality. If people didn't panic about SVB eating a loss, even it wouldn't have likely failed

That's not "reality" though. The phenomenon of people "panicking" (ie acting sensibly when their savings are at risk and getting them out while they still can) is a fundamental part of the crisis-process of any bank when it is badly managed.

Saying "well if people just ignored history and group psychology and hope nothing bad will happen and risk all their savings by doing nothing, then nothing bad will happen" just isn't remotely realistic.
There's two technologies that help a lot, both strange:

> There are millions of undocumented workers in the US using fake identities to get jobs.

How is this related to the story? The story is about companies using children as workers in hazardous job. It’s illegal regardless of their documentation status. Iowa has proposed bill to to legalize exactly this. This is happening because companies don’t want to pay fair wage.

I liked it better when consoles had strong exclusives. Sony had all the best Japanese games, Microsoft had all the best western games, and Nintendo had all their evergreen IP.

Sony has so many exclusives, why do they try to prevent Microsoft from getting theirs?
Actually, systems that don't crutch on the "Law of Excluded Middle" are more robust and realistic than ones that do.
I think these people are kids of 70s-80s who dreamed of hi-fi gear back then and now can afford it but it's no longer a thing. They are paying for nostalgia.
>but now the employees think they're "sticking it to the man" by... doing their jobs???

I think you got your definitions wrong. The definition im thinking of is skating by on the barest of minimums as to not arouse suspicion. Whether that is doing your job depends on who you ask.

>There is no loss of power, there is no dynamic shift, there is no loss of profits whatsoever.

You are essentially arguing that all the extra effort that employees expended to show that they are "go getters" amounted to no value creation at all. That is absurd just on the face of it.

But lets say you are totally right...then good, its one thing that employees and employers can agree on then. Employees do that absolute bare minimum to not arouse suspicion and employers pay them.

I'm looking forward to the multitude of innovations that employees will come up with to do the absolute bare minimum. Its like the area under a curve. We need to get closer and closer to the bottom of that curve. Thats where my favorite category of American innovation lies. Things such as the mouse jiggler are amateur hour.
I recently purchased and installed a 3 ton MrCool Universal (Gree Flexx, I believe) with lineset for ~$4K shipped: https://hvacdirect.com/mrcool-universal-36-000-btu-heat-pump... Worked just fine during the Christmas arctic blast. We will see about longevity but at 1/3 of the price of your proposed units, I'm not worried about slapping a new one at any time. I am essentially on my own for service as no contractors will work on it but it seems your units would present the same problem.
Every true audiophile knows it's the diet, which can change how the ears perceive sound.
Fundamentally this all boils down to precision measurement/observability (for both analog and digital).

Occasionally, small changes are observed in high end equipment with high precision instrumentation - but a subjective interpretation to a psychometric observation is applied as cause and effect.

Arguably, the cost alone is enough of a placebo to sell anything for a desired effect.
Maybe you are—people are taking advantage of his reputation and brand and harming his viewers.

If you insist on seeing it through a lens of self-interested sociopathy, he could loose his most ardent fans & contributors and suffer damage to his brand and/or reputation, via bad interactions with those scammers.
I see two paths:

1) dead cat bounce in bank sector (recovery)

2) continued bank failures at public regional banks and power continues to consolidate at the "too big to fail" banks
WezTerm seems nice in a lot of ways, but it's got some odd quirks, like how it lacks menus on macOS or how on Linux, it uses a hyperminimalist tiling-WM-style titlebar instead of whatever your WM furnishes.

This makes it seem pretty squarely targeted at i3/Sway/vim sorts of users, which doesn't make it bad but an odd fit for more general users.
Create IAM users and groups for a Gitlab CI pipeline using the AWS CLI
You're not wrong. I think I use the word `hate` because the status quo is to squeeze the average person out more and more. So since they "don't care", that lack of care ends up being the same as if they hated us.
Knowledge is easily available and so is a whole lot of misinformation.
I was cutting grass for neighbors and a small business lot in the neighborhood at age 13 (and maybe a few weeks before my 13th birthday). I don't know if it was legal or not, but it seemed/seems appropriate to me.
Approximately any business with this much cash has a rich person running things. So yes, let's stick with "the rich" as the group of interest.

Socializing the losses among other banks is not getting paid directly by taxpayers, but the money comes from somewhere. Making good banks cover bad banks just creates new moral hazard.

The basic notion of our current system is that for-profit banking is a generally good business and that we just need to limit systemic risk. Your thesis is apparently that for-profit banking is essentially unsound. That's not an argument for a bit of fiddling with the regulations. It's an argument to end for-profit banking.

Which, personally, I'm all for. Many people are claiming they just want their bank to be a utility, a magic mattress to stuff their money in. In which case, let's make banking deeply boring, and put the hundreds of billions per year in profits to better societal use.
It appears LCD procurement is one of hardest task in making any consumer devices. Anything else can be bought or outsourced with an email and a payment, but LCD seem to need a connection.
Yeah that wouldn't make sense then. Here where I live I see the grocery chain "truck" (Mercedes Sprinter size) make frequent stops throughout the neigborhood so I feel like it works out. Seems to be just the right amount of density.
After an ad, and a minute and 30 seconds of talking head, he still hadn't even started getting to his main point.
I would only buy it if it has an API that I can access like NIBE does. It should have WiFI and also be able to run completely without internet connection. No functionality should be limited if internet is down except for functions that rely on external data such as live electricity prices etc.

Also, it should be modular so it is easy to repair. Nibe sucks from this aspect and I would love a different heat pump that has better parts prices and was repairable.

As a final must have: Silence. The NIBE is way too noisy and we have it placed next to a bedroom which causes a lot of frustration. When the compressor starts it travels through the walls. I'm currently building extra walls to isolate it and reduce the noise.
Heat pumps were quite the rage in South Africa. Family members replaced their water heater ("geyser") with one, but I have not been impressed by the ability to heat water for baths and showers.

@Chris, I guess that you would say that heat pumps vary in quality and ability. What sort of metrics should I use to assess the quality of the pump that I am buying to avoid buying a dud?
> Like it or not, the West generally is in a state of decline.

I don't like it! I think the first indicator of the west's downfall was our declining production of bricks. My parents warned me of how poor I would one day be because our steel production was in decline. Now I prepare my children to live in the poverty of the United States where they have no hope of ever working in a radio factory.
> Think about it: who ever trains a popular, albeit closed model, can give it whatever bias it wishes with nearly no oversight. A dystopian and scary thought.

You have perfectly described what OpenAI did. They released a moralizing “biased” model behind a gated API with no oversight. The only dystopia is one in which corporations get to decide what is, or isn’t considered biased.
> As a college student I worked as an office temp at the hq of an midsized areospace company. They had a Treasurer, Asst Treasurer and clerk. Part of my job every morning was to get the short term deposit rates from a list of banks whom they did business with. They then would place their excess cash with a number of those banks.

Wouldn't it have been more useful if that job simply didn't have to exist, and they could just deal with one bank, and then that extra capital could have gone to something more useful?

Change the game so the risk is being managed in a way that doesn't require every single company to wastefully play financial hopscotch so they can instead focus on doing what they do best.
Your balanced and introspective summary makes me think that you’re probably being fair in your criticism and that there is a problem with your cofounder

There is a minor question I have: why do you need the company to grow? What does that achieve? Is it necessary?
If it were your hard-earned money saved up over the course of years or decades, would you risk seeing if the theory works in practice?
And that’s why politicians never brag about maintenance. But always brag about new bridges
This was pretty strong: https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy1337
Might as well buy treasuries with higher rates and tax benefits. Should not take much longer to setup…
It's not clear what was meant by "other banks" above. If "other banks" means a large percentage of all of them, the FDIC doesn't have the cash on hand. Sure there may be appropriations from somewhere else, but that could take awhile.
I think the point still stands: why keep your money in a bank known to be insolvent? What is the upside? Especially if you already have an account at a bigger bank.

> For example, on Nov. 1, 2016, Mackey allegedly tweeted an image that featured an African American woman standing in front of an “African Americans for [the Candidate]” sign. The image included the following text: “Avoid the Line. Vote from Home. Text ‘[Candidate’s first name]’ to 59925[.] Vote for [the Candidate] and be a part of history.” The fine print at the bottom of the image stated: “Must be 18 or older to vote. One vote per person. Must be a legal citizen of the United States. Voting by text not available in Guam, Puerto Rico, Alaska or Hawaii. Paid for by [Candidate] for President 2016.”

What are the chances of this being thrown out by the courts on First Amendment Freedom of Speech grounds?
>"backup heating strips"

Big resistive elements sitting in the air handler. Think big toaster oven coils that are used when the outdoor temperature drops too low for the heat pump to handle the load.
I wish problems in business life were always such naive things.
If you ever want to chat with a technical homeowner, who is mid-process in reevaluating HVAC retrofit in a house that would be a great candidate for this, contact me at the email account in my profile. I'd love to talk about this.

I've installed a few mini splits, understand load calcs (basically) and have plenty of experience with ducting systems and electrical and control systems.
I was raised on the belief that Heat Pumps could not be used in climates that really got "cold". I see the website lists -15 degrees as the operating temperature. What has changed in the past years to enable this? It seems like this would cover most of the contintental US now.
Sadly, that's not true. There's a menu of options right now and they all have steep costs and large potential benefits. There is no simple, easy, correct answer they can simply choose without any risk. That door closed a long time ago.

(If you want to predict which of the things they will do, I would suggest paying attention to who bears the costs and who gets the benefits. The various choices differ most in that area. This is not entirely determinative, but it's been a pretty good guide for most of my lifetime.)

Seems like there won't be that many banks with such large average account sizes (which is probably one component of being in a similar situation). First Republic touts their large average account sizes though.
Can someone in this space explain how this is a hard problem for Youtube to solve? In my limited understanding, I can see clear blockable patterns with the bot posts shown in this video.
> No human ear can hear frequencies above ~22kHz, meaning anything over the normal ~44kHz sample rate provably makes no difference.

The real fun is when "audiophiles" give you music with high sample rate (e.g. 384kHz) and it sounds objectively worse on a standard playback device because the playback device only supports e.g. 48kHz natively and has to resample internally, with a resampling algorithm that's worse than what you would get if the audio was resampled with a high quality resampling algorithm and directly stored as e.g. 48kHz.
My gas furnace sits next to my gas water heater. I want a central air heat pump that dumps the heat into my water heater when I'm cooling the house.

In the same vein, let’s just stop using email.
Presumably the children in question lied about their age when they signed up. The most likely scenario is the meat plant offered them the best wage-earning opportunity in the area. If there aren't systems to verify who workers really are then the meat plant might not have had an easy way to find out. Seems plausible as theories go although obviously I only read this press release and moved on.

I mean; if the likely outcome was just losing their job these kids would probably have lied to the investigators too. The evidence here is they wanted to work since this isn't a slavery situation.

100 is such a small number in the grand scheme of things. There are much more than 100 children illegally employed in the US. I'd guarantee it. A lot of families need money.
In the context of heat pumps, a "backup heating strip" is a resistive heating element - electricity goes in, heat comes out just like an old electric heater. They're generally used during defrost cycles for the external air handler in cold weather, or to provide a temporary thermal boost when the heat pump is having performance trouble e.g. when the exterior temperature is near the bottom of the heat pump's operating range.

It should be noted that no-one was forced to put their money in a VC fund, so when the author is whining about VC's playing with "other people's money", he's ignoring that those "other people" very deliberately put their money there, for VCs to do exactly what they do.

And if not VCs, then how should capital be allocated to innovation? Soviet-style central planning, where a government department decides who gets investment? EU-style grants, where those most skilled in manipulating the grant system get the money?

And fundamentally, if individuals are allowed to own shares in private companies, then there will always be people willing to make speculative investments with their own money - VC is simply a professionalization and formalization of this.
Is this about power consumption at the instruction level, affecting electricity paths on the audio chip? It's the only thing that makes sense without reading the original discussion
Offtopic but for those wondering: there are two Launch HNs on the front page today because we're getting close to Demo Day for YC's W23 batch, so it's launch season. When we do pair them, I'm trying to select two startups that are uncorrelated with each other. Also, I thought it might be good to start the week with two launches that have nothing to do with LLMs.
Ask HN: Academic work on digital identity / reputation?
I'm interested in but not up to date with the design of federated / distributed reputation and identity systems.

I guess that there must be a literature somewhere, but I'm too out of touch to find it!

Do you have any recommendations of recent good work?

(I asked ChatGPT but it hallucinated all the publications...)
Immigration is one of the areas that such blatant lying happens by partisans. We do have defacto open borders. A good segment of Dems politicians and activists try to cover this up. They also misrepresent temporary "humanitarian" visas as being temporary. They are never temporary and always get extended.

On the other side is the lack of enforcement on the employer side which a good segment of Rs ignore. Cut off incentives and fewer people will come.
Couple of weeks ago I opened a Citi High Yield Savings account ~3.5% interest rate. Took less than 30 seconds to open the account.
They don't keep getting to employ these kids after being caught and made to pay the fine. So the risk is that they get fined before getting $15k worth of after-wage labor from the kids, and of course now they have to backfill the jobs posthaste or they violate their contract (with any potential fees from that).
Those are really savings accounts. I myself created accounts in them to take the benefit.
I think it depends. My best friend works at a company that took four years to architect and build V1 of its product on prem. They had to build a lot of things by hand that are standard components in the cloud. They architected and built V2 on AWS is a single year. The higher cost is considered small by them compared to three additional years of waiting for a system to offer key features that upsell customers.
Do you think that was a good use of your time? Maybe it would be better if depositors didn’t have to worry about such things. What would be lost if all that busywork just went away?
Houses that were selling for 600-700K in 2009 are much closer to 1.5M now (e.g. in 94563 or 94549). While their property tax is capped nicely. Just saying.
great to see someone take a holistic approach here. heat pumps are imperative to moving off fossil fuels and it's crazy how difficult it is to get these devices installed in homes right now.
I used to do this sort of overnight cleaning but in medical. Based on my experience I would be very surprised if the overwhelming majority of these kids weren't a) immigrants and b) working the same shift least one of their parents. I wouldn't say it was typical to have teenagers around but when you saw one it almost always turned out that they carpool with a parent even if they didn't necessarily work in proximity to each other.
You're not the only one. It's the original blog author who made that mistake. Now his article is on archive.org and he can't edit anymore either. :)

At first I was very skeptical, but after looking further at the examples I feel like you pretty much nailed the developer experience. I have not used this yet but I will definitely check it out.

Is there a roadmap? I see the GitHub project board is pretty focused on v0.1.20. I am curious what are your plans for client side code via wasm? I feel like that is a critical missing piece for me.
My games on the app store are MobileUO and Sandbox City.

MobileUO is a Unity-port of ClassicUO, which is an open-source C# client for Ultima Online. My hope was to get support from community on Patreon to keep developing it but the financial support didn't really materialize. But it's ok because close to a thousand people seem to be using MobileUO daily to play UO on their mobile devices and are happy with it as it is.

Sandbox City is a really mini-tiny-not-even GTA style game for mobile where the player gets to run around in a city, driving cars, and running over pedestrians and zombies. I'm working on adding more content into the game but it already gives me decent passive income from ads and IAPs. I also have it published on CrazyGames (html5/webgl online game platform) and it is also played a lot there and bring in additional income.

In this case, though, the owner is trying to sell the cheap cable. That's his schtick. He doesn't even sell the Monster (or whatever) cable. He wants everyone to know his digital cables are just as good, because hey, digital.
Maybe Europe market is ready for this.

Considering how unstable the residential electrical and internet grid is in the US (instead of being dug in, into the ground all the cables are hanging between the trees and there are constant failures), relying on that AND on the cloud for an essential service is a no-go.
Kind of funny how using the term sluts is considered only twice as bad as using the word "she"
