In a city, its simply a combination of everything. Tires and brake dust are a small part of overall vehicle emissions. Local industry, and whatever else is on fire, are also big contributors to air pollution.

It's common to let people go on the same day. You don't want people to cause issues through malicious intent, by not caring or just being Debbie Downer. Some people might argue differently but when you know that nothing you do will matter in a few weeks, then your output will suffer.
> Everybody needs somebody to love. It could be anybody. You just need someone to love.

Why?
There are many steps that can be taken. At the moment, car designs make absolutely no effort to minimize tire particulates. I could see some basic airflow changes, along with rough filters, that could vastly reduce rubber particulates.

And the real issue isnt even the rubber but all the random chemical additives in that rubber. Some basic study and perhaps modification could also reduce impacts.
Honestly, not really a fan of earthenware pots due to how easy they are to make you can't really trust the quality of them. I know in India a lot of vendors use dung in their mixture and well... It's just that honestly you can't really tell if they have anything else wrong with them at a glance, overtime they might ware and degrade and lead to possible contamination, I don't think that they're really safe to use. Even the glazes can be problematic and sometimes you just won't even know. Often contaminating the food.
There are (mostly) solutions but I lot of people won't like them. As with things today like notarized signatures or just transacting in person, they basically depend on some sort of in-person attestation by a reliable authority. Of course, that means adding a lot more friction to certain types of transactions.

I went down this Rust front end route with my trivia web app [0], but ended up abandoning it.

There were just too many points of friction.

* The tooling is not nearly as good as JavaScript for the front end.

* Every time you want to use a front end library, you have to figure it out yourself as there won’t be any documentation for how to use it with your framework.

* Rust compile times really break your flow when working on front end code. At least for me, for front end coding, there is a lot of interactive development where you look at the web app on desktop/mobile and adjust element size/spacing etc to make sure things look nice. Doing this in real-time with JavaScript/html/css is nice. Having a Rust compile between each step is a pain.

* For front-end code, Rust’s borrow checker really gets in the way. The JavaScript garbage collector works really well front front-end code. Rust’s borrow checker is not bringing any performance advantages for this use case and brings a lot of complexity. On the backend, you can justify the complexity of Rust with appeals to efficiency/scalability/server cost. With front end code which is running on the client, you lose that justification.

I ended up going with React/TailwindCSS and have been happy so far.

Yeah, my understanding from trying to follow this as closely as possible is that there are three different supply-chain problems all happening at once, getting conflated by journalist who don't have the expertise to report on the shortage correctly.

Sub-7nm chips appear to have had a genuine shortage from demand shocks during Covid.

EVs seem to be having a supply or demand shock for some reason.

And legacy node lithography chips (~250nm) were decommissioned and chip suppliers like autochip makers have been left scrambling to retrofit their designs to newer ~140nm-node tech.

Seems clear foundries have not been transparent with the public prior to the CHIPS Act.

Thanks for the feedback! My original plan was to let users provide a location and get customised advice - I may well do that still, but I wanted to keep things simple (and keep costs down) on this first pass so I just generated static content for the UK.

As far as factualness goes, I think you’re right to be sceptical. I’ve read most of the content now and it seems broadly correct, however there are some things that I want to go back and fact check/update! GPT-4 definitely seems to be a lot better that GPT-3/3.5 for this though.
this has always struck me as a weird argument. one could make a very rough comparison to the energy required to run a gaming PC for an hour, and the energy (inference + amortizing the training run) to run a conversation with ChatGPT for an hour, they're probably order-of-magnitude comparable. But there is no serious concern by anyone for the climate impact of PC gaming. It's just fundamentally that computers require electricity to run.

If the dreams of companies making large sequence models do come to pass, and they really do scale up to where training and running large sequence models is a significant portion of world electricity usage, then of course it becomes a real problem, but the same would be true for any large electricity-intensive industry.
The argument here feels like only tangible things are actually valuable. Without the transistor, none of these other increases in value would exist. How much would the world agree to pay if some genie came out of a lamp and someone could wish us back to 1946 and prevent the invention of the transistor forever?

> If you create a device where, with one press of a big red button, you can cure cancer/world hunger/war/disease, but you never actually press that button?

What if you create such a device and decide to publicly share the design, with no plans to monopolize it? You'd probably be the lose financially, but did you not create the most value?

Have Linux or Git created no real value except for the companies that can build service models around them?

If it’s a NextJS alternative then it supports client-side components too? Is client-side code written in Rust? Is it then compiled to JS or to WASM? Couldn’t find those answers from quick look at the website and GitHub page.
> W-8BEN has nothing to do about dealing with US companies or government.

> If you open investment account to buy any US stock, index funds or a some other US-based financial instruments you have to fill W-8BEN

You seem to directly contradict yourself. Dealing with any US-based financial instrument obviously has to do with dealing with something US related.

In contrast, if I only invest in any non-US financial instruments, I don't have to deal with W-8BEN.
Thanks for this, it’s always good to have up to date information.

Good point, I've realized the same. My electricity bill increases a higher percentage in winter than my gas bill. Our house has two furnaces and they use a lot of electricity

Knowing that our mail passes through the regional processing center before returning to the local area, we expect about three days if we mail a neighbor.

Post offices around us have two mail slots when you walk in to drop mail in the box: local only, and everywhere else. Presumably they have (once had?) separate localized processing for those in the “local” bin. Because of post office closures and reduced hours, I think everything is just passed off to the regional facility for the last few years.

Another interesting discovery: I live about 3mi from my parents. They’re over the line in another county. My post office services them, but when I still lived in their house, all our local government business (schools, taxes and whatnot) was in the county seat about 15mi further away from the serving post office, closer to the next regional facility further south. If we ever dropped mail, say from mom to her mother, in that town, it took at least an extra day because it had to hit two regionals before getting to grandmother’s local.
Rust is both a low level but also a high level language. There aren't many mainstream languages that can go higher level than Rust with its traits, sum types, generics and macros. Haskell, Scala, maybe C++ to some degree, what else?

Your statement is factually wrong. The article doesn’t claim Goldman strategists are predicting the worst quarter for profits/EPS since the start of the pandemic. They are predicting the steepest YoY decline in profits/EPS. By about 7%.

There’s a huge difference. What they’re predicting probably means profits will still be a lot higher than many quarters in the pandemic, and much higher than Pre-pandemic profits.

https://ycharts.com/indicators/sp_500_eps

Most of the 2010s had EPS in the 20s. The late 2010s (2018 onwards…right after the massive tax break incidentally) has an EPS in the 30s.

It drops to the teens in the beginning of the pandemic, rising to peak above 50, and is still in the mid 40s. A 7% drop would still keep EPS in the 40s, well above anything it touched Pre-pandemic.

What’s worst is that this is with the backdrop of a much stronger dollar than ever, which means that these dollar earnings are increasing after compensating for conversion losses from the RoW, which indicates American consumers are being charged a lot more money.
Except that prices, in general, have been rising over the past 20 years.

And yes, we've noticed it, and so have people around us. My in-laws have been frequently heard complaining about price increases on products (their grumbling tends to start with how the price has increased since last year, then go on to declare what they remember paying for it in about 1965...).

We've also had rampant shrinkflation during that time. Remember, for instance, how ice cream used to be regularly sold in half-gallons? But now is instead sold in 48oz tubs, without any particular acknowledgement of the change.

But when the price increases aren't localized to one specific store, it doesn't matter that people get annoyed at it. Worst case, they'll just start buying less of the thing.
Article is a bit old or the prices got a lot higher in last couple of months.

Just had a look at my recent electricity bill.

Why would passwords, personal devices, policed platforms etc. fail as an authentication method between known counterparties? Between unknown counterparties the issue is much bigger than just about being a human or not.
In art generally, but maybe pop art in particular, there are a lot of examples of art getting at least very near the line of imitating another artist's style or even specific works. See also the Obama Hope poster. Or Andy Warhol. At the boundaries, it's often going to be a close call.
Show HN: Ggpt – Take advantage of GPT on the command line
Hi HN, with all of the hype recently surrounding GPT, i’ve been wondering what value it could bring to the table for developers. While chatGPT is wildly popular, and GPT incredibly powerful, I found it hard to integrate it into my CLI based workflows without lots of copy pasting into the terminal. With the interface being a nonstarter for my own adoption, I wrote ggpt. ggpt is a command line utility written in go, that allows for quick and easy GPT access.

ggpt is drop dead simple; ‘ggpt prompt “this is my prompt” ’ to query gpt, and `ggpt last` to return the previous output again.

One really successful use case i’ve found is with regex. ` ggpt prompt "can you explain what regex $REGEX is doing?" ` will return a breakdown that really helps explain the regex in question. Even if the output isn’t perfect, ive found it gets you about 90% of the way there, in 10% of the time, and the outputs will get better and better over time. I’d love to hear other ways people are using GPT.
You should try passing docs about the API or lib you wanna use to the prompt, works pretty well
> Using someone’s handwriting as training data for OCR, as part of a training dataset significantly large enough to be used as training data in the first place, does not pose a material additional privacy concern.

USPS literally processes people's private addresses. I'm amazed how you can say "Does not pose privacy concern" with a straight face when the entirety of the past decade has shown us that if there's private data, companies will abuse it, sell it, leak it etc.
Thanks for the thoughtful response!

> I would disagree pretty strongly that men are more into self-optimization than women.

Sure, it very much depends on how you define "self-optimization". Let's just say there is a group of people interested in certain (selected?) topics related to self-optimization that predominantly attracts men.

> I find it pretty understandable that people interested in gender would have something to say about the way gender interacts with that space as well.

I have no issue if someone says "This and that subculture attracts mostly men [with certain character traits] and here's why this is problematic" and then goes on to explore this topic in detail. But carelessly throwing around stereotypes of masculinity and feminity doesn't help anyone.

> I’d probably say it detracted from the point overall

Yes, I would say so as well.

> It feels counterproductive to take “masculinity” and what comes with it off the table for that discussion in the name of the ideal of equality, especially if that discussion might win you some real equality.

I'm not really sure I subscribe to this idea/desire of "real equality" (which I interpret as "equality of outcome", i.e. in this case a 50-50 representation of genders), at least not on a general basis. Different people have different interests and propensities, and it seems these are controlled by biological factors (e.g. sex) to some degree[0], though it is not clear how much exactly. In any case, not only does achieving a 50-50 gender distribution across all groups seem unrealistic, it would also go against freedom of will of the individual.

Now this is not to say that making a given group (e.g. a university's chemical engineering program) more inclusive and welcoming to all kinds of people (and all genders) doesn't have benefits. It does. But if, at the end of the day, we don't reach a 50-50 gender distribution everywhere, I don't think this is an issue, either.

So normally I’m on the side of the appropriating artist with discussions like these… I feel that remix, parody and repurposing is important even if it doesn’t align with the goals (financial or otherwise) of the original artist.

But this type of Lichtenstein work never sat well with me. The transformation is extremely minimal - minor changes to the scene, a new cropping, and conversion from ink to painting. If I handed something like that in in school I’d get eviscerated in reviews (or worse!). I’d be curious for somebody more aware of art history to chime in in more detail that the article provides about how this is considered transformative.

Also, it’s good that he was honest that his work appropriated, but it seems rude and maybe even deceptive to not credit the artist he was appropriating from.

To be clear, Lichtenstein is a very capable artist, and can produce very beautiful work that is (as far as I can tell) highly original. For example, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Cap_de_Barcelona . I’m just not sure about the types of work shown in the article.
> No it is not stealing - Roy found a completely separate market for the works, acquired his own marketing within the art world, and was successful selling into that market

Copyright provides exclusive rights to creators for derivative works. Just because that derivative is in a new market does not absolve one of copyright obligations.

It seems someone is claiming a kind of fair use? that argument rings hollow, I don't see these paintings as transformative. I wonder if anyone took him or his estate to court for copyright violations.

> I think what is happening is that Apple Mail prefetches all images when the email is received (over a privacy-preserving proxy).

How does this privacy-preserving work, where the leak is the specific resource being read?
Completely separate markets, and the art was already sold. Look at the situation logically and legally. The comic artists got screwed by the comic book publishers twice: once when they sold their work and a second time by the publishers not pursuing Roy, but chances are Roy had more legal resources than they and that's what stopped them. Realize that before our "modern time" comic book publishers were shoulder to shoulder with pornography as far as the public opinion of them.

The “massive amounts of cash” was a fraction of the tax cuts that were given to corporations and the richest prior to the pandemic for no reason at all.

At least these massive amounts of cash came in response to a disproportionately more massive world event.

And yet I don’t see complaints about that massive handover of cash which wasnt even in response to a problem.

The situation is trickle down from laissez-faire is definitely proven wrong just by the situation we are in and is the starting point of the discussion. Tax is just a tool to correct the failure of the system of failing to correctly redistribute productivity gains from workers starting a few decades ago (and the point above is with the promises of LLM it’s crucial we address that situation). Robbery or not is not the debate here, income tax higher than capital tax is just a good candidate cause and solution (given historical data), but of course we can discuss alternatives.
Oh, thank you for letting me know I'm not obligated to buy food if I can't afford it.

Growing up in Korea, I remember my grandmother making kimchi and then putting them in large earthenware pots and then digging large holes in the ground then putting them inside. In winter time, when it snows (that's how I remember it), she'll go out and grab some of this kimchi. The taste? I salivate now every time I think about it. To this day, I have not tasted kimchi as delicious as that - can't say it's objective. It's my nostalgia, childhood memories etc. But I'm so grateful for that taste memory.

Ok, basic supply and demand says the more supply you have of something the cheaper it should get.

And yet, despite the 600% increase in supply of dollars, the dollar is stronger than ever.

Whether the money supply is responsible for the inflation or not, this is not basic supply and demand. It’s the exact opposite of basic supply and demand.
WhatsApp works without access to contacts now, no?
It's a great story. Picture here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Wichterle

By late 1961 Wichterle succeeded in producing the first four hydrogel contact lenses on a home-made apparatus built using a children's building kit (Merkur), a bicycle dynamo belonging to one of his sons, and a bell transformer. Wichterle also made all the moulds and glass tubing needed to dose them with monomer. On Christmas afternoon, with the help of his wife Linda, using the machine on his kitchen table, Wichterle finally succeeded. He tried the lenses in his own eyes and although they were the wrong power they were comfortable. Thus, he invented a new way of manufacturing the lenses using a centrifugal casting procedure. A few days later, he completed his patent application and produced over 100 lenses by spin casting. He built several new prototype machines using Merkur toys with increasing numbers of spindles which required the stronger motor taken from his gramophone. With these rudimentary devices, in the first four months of 1962, Wichterle and Linda made 5,500 lenses.
