I was just made aware of this challenge on vacation recently. I had to rent a car for just a day, more like 8 hours. I had a choice between a Tesla and a regular car. I didn't feel safe enough with the Tesla to go with that as a rental. I was 90% sure I'd be fine, maybe 98% sure I'd be fine. I wasn't driving far, I'd only have it for 8 hours or less.
BUT
I was in an unfamiliar city, I had no idea where a charger might be, or if I'd need one. I couldn't take the chance. What if I couldn't get it charged? It was just too scary at the time to try.

It made me wonder how often I'd be worried about finding a charger if I owned an EV.
How to Read “The Linux System Administrator's Guide”?

Is there a video course following these kinda books? How to read this book? I am asking because I've never read anything in my life to learn. I learnt by watching videos.

https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/high-tech-headstones-speak...

People already buy headstones that let the dead speak a pre-recorded message from the grave. It's a natural extension to put an AI trained with their thoughts behind it that can engage in actual conversation. That isn't for me, but I have gone to my father's grave to speak to him, and I can sympathize with the wish to have him speak back.

I am looking forward to conversing with prolific writers among the dead, from Hitchens to Lincoln to Aristotle.
this is true for any account, especially since algorithmic sorting was introduced and then amplified with the introduction of 'For You'.
The 1 that was mostly canned?

Another interesting thing would be people wearing a GoPro camera all day, recording each other. Then you can train a model on people based on their interaction with one person, but also wrt other people. And then you can have the experience of virtually talking to a person as if you were another person.
It should when you can just block left and right.

I'd perhaps distinguish between 'state-sponsored' (i.e. all the operating funds come from a government) and 'state-affiliated' (i.e. media employees and government employees are intermingled and move back and forth from media to government jobs.)

If MSNBC hires a Biden spokesperson (Jen Psaki) or if CNN hires a intelligence officer (e.g. James Clapper) or if Fox hires a White House communications director (Hope Hicks), that's 'state-affiliated' in the same sense that if RT hired Putin's press secretary or some FSB/GU officer we'd say, 'oh, right, they're state-affiliated.'

News reports are more reliable if the people reporting on government activities are not themselves from the government, it's called an independent press and is generally held to be a critical component of democratic systems.
In my experience, separating whites (not only so they can be bleached when wanted) from darks from colors is definitely still necessary?

Like I said, it was paywalled for me. So I went ahead and did the courtesy of looking up the data directly from the source for others who are also paywalled.

IMHO, that's more ethical than bypassing the paywall restriction.
The article hints at it, but there are two related but separate problems:

1. Perception by non-EV buyers that charging is difficult, slow, unavailable, etc. This is what Tesla fought against at the beginning and arguably has one of the best "solutions" for.

2. Actual usage by EV owners; if the first is perception only then this one shouldn't exist much; but if they are complaining, there is a massive real problem that needs to be addressed - otherwise the EV owners will become non-EV owners over time, and it'll be harder to get them to go back.

(If I were a car company wanting to reassure people about the EV issues, I'd have a "bring the car in anytime during the first 5 years and we'll rent you for cheap or free a hybrid for those long trips you're worried about" or similar. The vast majority of vehicle travel can be done with any EV, because they start and end at home and are less than 200 miles.)
Reminder that this number is an average of the last 12 months’ numbers. The monthly numbers are around 2% last I checked.
On a side note, I thought a little bit about that concept. For me, recreating deceased loved one with AI would be reigniting the grief all over again. I would want to avoid that.

Maybe, just maybe, I would be able to use it, for example, to see my grandparents who died ~30 years ago, as a curiosity, but still I'm not sure if I'd want to.
Different things mean different things for different people. Meaning, 5% inflation may hit one person harder than another. That's valid.

However, the same calcs have been used for a while here. All of this economic data needs to be taken and compared with the same data. It can't be used outside of that context and have a lot of meaning. This goes the same for unemployment numbers, GDP, etc. They lose a lot of meaning outside their context.

In context, inflation is easing. It may still seem high but it is easing up compared to previous months. How you interpret that is up to you.
But that step only has to run as part of building it. It doesn’t have to run at every invocation. How did you try to run it?

From the documentation:

> The picocli-codegen module includes an annotation processor that can build a model from the picocli annotations at compile time rather than at runtime.

> Enabling this annotation processor in your project is optional, but strongly recommended. Use this if you’re interested in

I think you didn’t use it.
Wow those are some tempting specs. 4 Euros for 2 core CPU, 4GB of RAM, 40Gb storage, and 20TB of traffic. I always had issues with those $5 droplets with the RAM being abysmally low. Closest comparable equivalent is $18-$24 on DO.
People already take RealDolls out on dates and buy them engagement rings. Im sure that company is all over LLM based AI and incorporating home assistant tech (like Alexa) into their products.
Sure. But then can we label SpaceX and Tesla as State-Financed? They are both sucking down way more money from the US Gov't than NPR is.

> common knowledge to never use public chargers

Perhaps here on HN. Most people will plug their smartphone into any accepting receptacle. trains, airplanes, NYC SmartLink, or ask the bartender if they can plug it in behind the bar.

I still carry a DIY Altoids charger that takes a 9V battery (pulled down to proper volts for iPhone). In a battery emergency, my phone is simply on life support and I don't have to look for outlets that might also include a zero-day.
this reminds me of the time I got in trouble for shit I did in a dream of my wife's.

not really in trouble but you know.
I really don't understand this sort of thing at all. Even a hypothetical distant future AI that had a human level of sentience and intelligence and could perfectly emulate you in every way still would not be you (even if it could hypothetically be indistinguishable from you in communication), and it's especially odd now with the crude simulacrum it would provide.

If you're gone, you're gone. Some model of your brain or body isn't going to bring you back, and I don't see how it would help anyone recover from grief. It would just make me feel way worse, and very creeped out.

Why not skip the AI part and just create an archive of writings and communications and such so they can recall memories of you if they wish?
In theory, you may be able to ask the LLM about the person's life, as if it was the person, but you won't get more facts out than you provide as input. It may still make up credible info.

Regarding your last question, it wil lack an enormous ammount of data that make up a person's experience. Moreover, talking to sound like <X> isn't the same as thinking like <X>.

It reminds me of the later part of the book Accelerando, where synthetic personalities made up from historical records (could be anyone from Cleopatra to Newton) keep being reincarnated in a near, post-singularity future. They are handed out an FAQ that tries to bring them up-to-date on the current state of affairs.

I would argue “in the world”. And it does not matter in the slightest to a user. The best Python IDE is PyCharm, also written in Java/Kotlin. I don’t know which PHP IDE is the best, but I’m pretty sure none of them are written in PHP, and the same probably applies to Ruby.
how much data can be transfered using usb cable?

real usage per second, per minute, not theoretical

can the charging stations resume data transfer if i unplug and replug at random times ?

i dunno, when i want to dump gb of data from my phone, it takes hours ... so yeah maybe i should stay at a random charging station for hours to ensure all data transfered :D

Ask HN: Advice after a stock option mess at a unicorn?
* Joined an early round startup in the UK in the late 2010s, received >200k options under an EMI scheme[1] at a low strike price to vest over 4 years

* Did an inter-company transfer to the US before those 4 years were up, and these >200k EMI options kept "vesting" to completion while I was in the US on Carta

* During that same time period, I was also being issued new ISO options grants (meaning that the responsible people in the company could see I was in the US, could not be issued EMI, had to be issued ISO, but that I was also "vesting" an EMI grant)

* I asked about exercising the >200k options that I thought were fully vested, was told that I should have been made to exercise what had vested and had the remainder reissued as ISO when I transferred to the US (there was no communication about this at the time and no reference to it on my transfer-related contracts)

* One idea that has been floated to me is reissuing the post-transfer options (slightly more than half of the >200k) at the current strike price, which is significantly higher and will require a six-figure sum to exercise (vs a few hundred dollars)

* Company is now a unicorn, private and with no immediate plans that anyone knows of to sell or IPO

* I am now a US LPR, still employed by the same company

Has anyone been in a similar situation before? Known someone who has been in a similar situation? Has knowledge of the law(s) surrounding situations like this? Any advice on how to approach this situation is welcome.

This is pretty common. Even more so outside of tech. I did sales for a while and this was normal.
I always think of comparisons to aviation. There are a million and one things that can go wrong when flying a plane, but it's still one of the safest ways to travel. That's because regulations and safety standards are to such a high degree that we simply don't consider injury or death an acceptable outcome.

Whenever someone says "as long as it's better than a human", that's where my mind goes. We shouldn't be satisfied with just being better than a human. We shouldn't be satisfied with five nines! I don't really care about what courts have a problem with — my point is just that our goal should be zero preventable deaths, not just moving from humans to AI once the latter can be better on average than the former.
No, my argument is that an institution managed by past government officials cannot be unironically called independent from said government.
Yes, that's what I was doing. Great job picking up on that!
Same here. I purchased it in 2013.
I share your sentiment in general, but (unfortunately?) I've dabbled enough in the humanities to be able to empathize on how the postmodernist approach might make sense in some contexts.

Those predictions were made before the war in Ukraine.
there is no expected deflation. So we keep paying the prices as if there is currently a hiring boom, savings glut, wage pressure, and supply side shock.

Even though all of those have stopped by now, we're still paying even more (5%) than during that time. Pretty crazy

And even when inflation eases, I don't think anyone expects to pay 2019 prices for anything in the next 2 years

While I am not religious myself, it is useful to actually learn about something before mocking it. Beyond the self evident reason for this, a fun is you might be surprised where else it shows up. In Christianity, mankind is taken as inherently sinful (even from the point of birth - hence baby baptismals) and is unable to avoid sinning. The path to 'salvation' is to accept ones own nature as a sinner and inability to not sin, repent for those sins committed, and essentially dedicate oneself to trying to live a life of 'antisinning', in spite of the impossibility of ever truly achieving such.

If the phrasing of 'antisinning' wasn't enough of a tell, you might notice this fits Progressive antiracist rhetoric literally perfectly. And it's not a coincidence. The man who wrote "How to Be an Antiracist" (which is undoubtedly the most influential modern text on such topics) not only spent most of his early education in Christian schools, but is also the son of two Christian ministers. Antiracist rhetoric is literally Christian original sin repackaged with racism replacing sinning. Design patterns show up across all "industries."
> So... are the "it's transient" people owed an apology?

no, they claimed inflation would abate without Fed intervention

important to remember that the inflation rate is still more than 2x what the Fed deems acceptable, a victory lap may be premature
We know that the "consciousness" of the AI resides in a cluster that is "speaking" to thousands of clients at any given moment. So is there a single consciousness or multiple? It can pass any test and yet the consciousness question remains valid for this reason alone. It's truly alien to us and no one has good answers yet.
> Wouldn't you need some sort of "heat shield" offset from the outer walls for your approach to work at night, if at all? Or if not, why are we still covering homes with big chunks of styrofoam, polyurethane and mineral wool?

If a home is well-built, the wall assembly already includes a physical gap between the structural sheathing or exterior insulation (if present) and whatever cladding materials you're using.[0] That gap allows for airflow and drainage behind your cladding, so that the water that gets behind it--and it will--can drain out and everything can dry.

That gap would help create something of a thermal break (the cladding isn't attached directly to the house but to furring strips with a very low surface area), but it would still heat up the air in the gap itself. In that case, reflective paints would probably still be beneficial.

That said, I think their greatest benefit would probably be in roofing. Metal roofs, for example, also require an air gap[1] behind they can get extremely hot.

So any company accepting grants is a state-affiliated company?

Honestly I kinda like it. I would extend it to any company accepting tax breaks.

Imagine the headline 'The church of the Last days, a state-affiliated non-profit, is warning that the end is near'.
The problem with that is security bugs.
That seems an inaccurate comparison. Detroit grew large when a particular family of industries was briefly globally dominant. San Francisco has a history of reinvention and has largely developed around major universities, UC Berkeley and Stanford in particular. Compared to the University of Detroit Mercy and Wayne State University (no relation to the Batman), the Bay Area has a history of strong intellectual influence and leadership.
So there was a change in ownership that precipitated this. I can understand the author was wronged. But what if things were done slightly differently, i.e. the owner of ManyCam EOL'd the product, sold his business, and a "new" equivalent product were released? Technically, the agreement wouldn't be violated in the same way, but the effect would be the same. Would the author be just as upset, or would this be more understandable?

Energy is a leading indicator -- it moves the fastest and also is a cause of inflation in the other goods. Energy is a massive component in the price of food, so food prices should follow the price of energy in time.
Each of these announcements shifts the window of discourse[1]. Not too long ago, the idea that a major news organization would leave Twitter was almost unthinkable. Now its just one of many departures and even more are on the fence.

It's also a great opportunity for networks like Mastodon to pick up steam and mindshare.

I use my Quest regularly, although mainly for gaming and fitness.

I've played around with the social aspects, and they're interesting, but I don't really have friends with a Quest and I struggle to make friends just by butting in on random conversations, so I haven't really done it much.

Have had a couple of interesting conversations about movies with a movie nerd in a virtual hangout in the Bigscreen app, though, and did some dancing in a virtual nightclub a couple times, which was actually pretty fun (I think I'd feel a little too weird doing going to an actual nightclub nowadays, I'm a little old for the scene).
Much before. But what did her in wasn't benefit ceilings, but rather the insurance company fighting everything they were obligated to pay out. it wore her down. It's very hard to fight the insurance company while at the same time fighting cancer. She got down to 80 pounds, couldn't eat, sleep, or do much of anything more than just hang in there. Constantly engaging in dispute resolution with the insurance company was not something she was capable of.

And they knew it. That's why they fought paying out every nickel. Evil bastards.

If it doesn't show, I have literally nothing good to say about the insurance industry.
> Modern Christians have come up with the rationalization that God chooses not to smite them, rather than accept the more likely explanation that God can't smite them for the same reason Superman couldn't prevent the 11 September 2001 terrorist attack.

That is too cynical for my taste. People observe the world around them. They see that sometimes people prosper when they do evil. A lot of theology is an attempt to understand why this is the case. Perhaps the Gods fickle? Perhaps there are no Gods? Perhaps the Gods want to preserve human agency?

Any religion that makes it a core tenant of the faith that God will prevent or punish X, and a human being is capable of doing X, will have dilemma when a human being do X and not be punished. So we have a survivorship bias in favor of religions that can bend without breaking. That religion, and human culture in general, is not falsifiable does not mean it is necessarily wrong anymore than ethics not being a science.

Yes, there's no silver bullet. Writing async code from the beginning is a much better approach to reducing memory footprint. But fibers/virtual threads/whatever-you-call-them will help scale many thread-per-client apps w/o having to pay for a rewrite as async code. That is worth a lot because the size of the thread-per-client Java codebases is enormous.
Why? I don’t want to pay for anything, if i don’t have to why would i?
