A large Great Lakes cargo vessel was recently completed by Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Mark_W._Barker). Great Lakes vessels need to be built in the US due to the Jones Act, but they also tend to last a very long time in the fresh water in which they operate, so this is the first lake freighter built in many decades.

Ships for the US Navy (including the Military Sealift Command) are also built in the US. So, shipbuilding hasn't stopped, but the US's comparative advantage is not really in shipbuilding.
With heat pumps coming online and gas being phased out that might not be true for very long. Also is 99% even close to good enough? That would be like 4 days a year without power right?
I would consider Haystack to be the more batteries-included, easier to use (but harder to customize) of the two. They have a good emphasis on local model use.

We have numerous very expensive pieces of fitness equipment that we use quite regularly. I mean, sure, you don't NEED expensive equipment to exercise, but if you don't do it without the expensive equipment, and you DO do it with the equipment, why not buy the thing?

Of course, there's plenty of expensive fitness equipment gathering dust, but don't let someone else tell you "you don't need all that stuff" if it works for you. If it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid!
Do you have any evidence to back up this claim?

Actually, the developer's primary responsibility is to deliver working software to their client or customer.

If you ship a bunch of features based on an assumption about how browsers "should" implement an API in the future and it breaks, you can't tell your customers "it's the browser's fault!" Regardless of what's "fair," it's your software that looks broken. So you can navigate that however you want. I choose not to adopt single-vendor APIs for this exact reason.

the us gas industry profits

https://www.politico.eu/article/vladimir-putin-war-europe-uk...

all i did is google "us profits from war in ukraine"

also by "us profits" i dont mean the us people profit. the war is costing the us people a lot

in the end if ukraine wins they will be so indebted to us and nato that their independence wont be worth the paper its written on. if they lose, well its definitely gonna be shit for them. talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place, and all for nothing. whats absolute worst for them is if they win on the battle field and putin decides to wipe them off the face of the earth out of spite. somehow the us is managing to convince ukraine that this isnt a possobilty, just like they convinced them that they will join the eu and nato. apparently putin is a very predictable monster with nuclear morals

i mean honnestly, this is a question for you, what do you see as a realistic outcome for ukraine?
It’s really not build costs alone that make nuclear expensive. Just as an example, you’re looking at roughly 500 employees per GW of capacity. Assuming they cost 100k/y including benefits that’s ~50 million per year or roughly 0.6c/kWh. Multiply that by * 50 years and your talking 2.5 billion over the plants lifetime just for the workers.

Ore is cheap, natural uranium is still cheap, enriched uranium isn’t, and making fuel rods isn’t. Insurance, land, replacement equipment, decommissioning, etc it all adds up.

People love to talk about how cheap various aspects of nuclear power are compared to other types of energy, but it’s the total costs that matter not just individual parts in isolation. Small modular reactors still need cooling, they still need turbines, workers, spent fuel cooling ponds and processing, security, etc etc.

I disagree, but I'm not a lawyer.

I would rather have said, Sorry I cant talk about this topic because of a conflict if interest with my current employer than to talk openly with them about what they or my current employer were planning and have either of them find out after the fact.
This seems a hard thing for many if not most devs but even in the most hardcore software company most employees are not devs. If anything the smartest people in your org are not the devs (unless you’re FAAnG). Any tool that puts more power into the non devs is a great tool. Any person managing a company that needs to string apis together and perform high touch service would need a tool like this. Now why this tool and not any other RPA is a different question.
It seems even worse than that: the fevered dream of of a single person, leaving behind incomprehensible 5mil+ program shaped around custom coding practices that others wouldn't understand and would struggle to modernize. (For reference, the linux kernel is ~8mil.) Even open sourced, it's likely it would be hard to maintain or extend without that intimate knowledge.
This worries me a bit - is everybody in on the joke? People putting real money in?

I mean, "do the opposite of a stupid thing to succeed" is traditionally funny because it obviously doesn't work - because there are generally infinite ways to fail...

We might be able to get the ACLU to sign on. They've filed a number of lawsuits for patients being denied gender-affirming care in various states. Without getting into a debate about the politics of gender-affirming care, those lawsuits would seem to spell out that denial of life-affirming care that sufferers of ADHD, a federally recognized disability, have experienced could give them legal standing to sue doctors over.

I was thinking the same thing. It's effectively within the realm of abandonware at this point. (edit: I guess someone released a new version about a year ago but it's not as good?)

People have been reversing stuff like DOS games recently [1], I don't really see any reason why this program couldn't be done the same. I think the legality is kind of just handled by not packing in the binaries along with the code. Personally I don't know a deep lot about reverse engineering, but it sounds like an interesting challenge to try to learn it.

First of all CO2 is plant feed and the world is 14% greener today. But even if we were to say CO2 was purely bad that's missing the point.

Burning Fossile fuel isn't just producing CO2 it's also allowing us to create fertilizers that keep 3B people alive, it's allowing us to produce cement, steel and plastic all of them the foundation of modern civilisation. Many of us wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for that.

On top of that it's what allow us to have machine do heavy work instead of humans, freeing more people up to do other things than working in the fields, which among other things gave us the internet which we are currently using, or many types of medicine, hell you can can't even do wind and solar without using fossil fuels.

So if we want to start counting externalities lets do that. But let do it fairly and it should be pretty clear that the positive externalities far outweigh the negative ones, which is why it's 80% of our energy consumption to this day.
> Why are you cherry picking immigrant groups?

I picked large, visible minority immigrant groups that have been in their destination country for more than a generation.

There’s far fewer of those than Turks, and many are ethnic Germans to begin with.

> The US has plenty of minority and immigrant groups for which convergence is... far from happening

There’s only two: black people and indigenous people, neither of which are immigrant groups. Economic migrants go the US, such as Germans, Italians, and Irish, all economically assimilated decades ago. Hispanics are on the same track: https://academic.oup.com/qje/article/135/2/711/5687353.

My handwriting is crap, always has been, but I take handwritten notes at times because it is convenient and fast (sometimes), I don't take them to look easy on the eye, I take them for the utility of having taken them. Usually I'll OCR anything that needs keeping long-term and keep it digitally.

Things like BuJo don't appeal to me, because it strips the practical nature of handwritten notes away in favour of making something more akin to art, and thus people become precious about their aesthetics rather than quality of note taking and ability to use their notes. Sorry, bit of rant, been trying to nail notes for a long time, but my conclusion is different tools for different tasks. Trying to compile it all in one place is a nice idea, but perhaps unrealistic for a lot of fields.

So it's a naive date.

Not sure how to support naive time, though, like 23:59:59, (or even leap-second one, 23:59:60). Probably have to store it as integers, and deal with conversion on application side.

The human brain is a lossy compression function implemented with a neural net.

Making absurd arguments is fun!

(The reason this is absurd is the number of parameters in the model is incredibly small compared to the size of the training set. You wouldn't even have enough bits per training image to keep a unique identifier for each training image, let alone a compressed representation. And to the degree there's redundancy in the training set, this is undesirable, actually counter-productive to the functioning of the model.)

(In a way, the human brain is actually more capable of copyright infringement since the number of parameters in the human brain is about 4-5 times that of a typical image generative AI neural net, and we're trained on a smaller and less generalizable data set. Humans can and do make copies of things from memory, which generative AI massively struggles with and can only do for corner cases.)
It's a far wider window than you think.

I always chuckle to myself when things like k3s, microk8s and so on claim to be "lightweight" kubernetes. Lightweight compared to what exactly? Because pure, upstream, vanilla kubernetes (kubeadm) is the lightest possible, it doesn't come with a CNI, ingress, or any of the additional stuff these distros do. Additionally, why make your life harder by adding an additional layer on top of kubernetes. For troubleshooting then you get to track down if this is a bug in your distro, or actually kubernetes itself. Just run the real thing.

I was not being reductive.

Money gets to vote on candidates before people do. Before any general election there is a primary, and to win the primary you do fundraising. People with money give politicians money with the implicit understanding that making anti-donor decisions will result in withdrawal of future money or (thanks to citizens united) unlimited contributions to their opponent.

Money literally votes on political candidates before any person does. That is why we have a "democracy" more responsive to money than to the will of the average voter.

Even if you look at it as a black box, Princeton did a study and asked if the legislation our politicians pass correlate most with the average citizen, interest groups, or the desires of rich people, the correlation was highest with rich people: https://scholar.princeton.edu/sites/default/files/mgilens/fi...

Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized
groups representing business interests have substantial independent
impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and
mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence.

Here you can watch Harvard Law professor Lawrence Lessig talk about this issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJy8vTu66tE

As wealth concentrates, it is able to purchase and corrupt further institutions. Bezos bought WaPo, Musk bought Twitter, I'm sure there are more examples. Do you think that is a form of power that is able to manipulate public opinion or government policy? Do you think ownership of a media outlet could help a person concentrate their wealth or fight being taxed?

Even from a mathematical approach. If Billionaires are able to earn 5% year over year interest at minimal risk, while large swathes of people will never make enough to have a savings, what do you think the long term consequences of that will be? If inequality is increasing and never decreasing, what do you think the long term effects will be? What types of things cause inequality to decrease, are we doing those things?

How much wealth has to concentrate before you are comfortable labeling it oligarchy?

Here is Yale history professor and expert in European history Timothy Snyder talking about oligarchy, the rule of the wealthy few. "What is oligarchy?": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biZVrh821RA

In this video he explores what oligarchy is and what effect oligarchy (the state of extreme wealth inequality -- too many billionaires) has on social programs like healthcare, namely that there won't be social programs/investment in institutions.
Do you mean romanticising contemporary martial arts, or historical ones?

I think historical martial arts reflect the values of the time, and often those values don't line up with ours. Similarly, gun enthusiasts reflect the values of their culture and subculture, which are often different from HN kinda-Californian-but-not-really culture. If you live in a culture that emphasises glory, raises its children to glorify famous warriors, gains significant material advantage from military power, and throws military parades for significant victories...why wouldn't you want to know how best to hurt other humans? Why wouldn't you see the most lauded figures in your society as romantic?

A couple more "whys" in you get:

> Parrots are social animals that live in complex environments such as rainforests, where communication with other members of the group is essential. The ability to produce a wide range of vocalizations, including mimicry of other animals and human speech, could provide an advantage in communicating with other parrots and navigating the complex social dynamics of their environment.

> In contrast, monkeys and other primates evolved in a different ecological context, where visual communication and social cues may have played a more important role than vocalization. Additionally, the physical constraints of the primate vocal tract may have limited the evolution of more complex vocalizations, including mimicry of human speech.

Although it doesn't make sense to me now - monkeys also evolved in rainforests right? Maybe they stayed closer. After all birds can fly.
