It's not done at scale because we don't actually have that much spare renewable energy capacity. Whenever renewables power over 90% of current usage on one particular day anywhere it tends to hit the news.

Pretty much every MWh generated by green energy these days is just a MWh of natural gas extracted from the earth that is not burned. This actually means that while we use as much natural gas as we do that the economics of nuclear power are even worse by comparison.

The above study is a hypothetical solution to solar and wind routinely overproducing what batteries and pumped storage can keep up with. Even then it probably wouldn't make economic sense until natural gas extraction gets hit with import or carbon taxes. Just because it's cheaper than nuclear power that doesn't make it cheap.
> Comprehensions are part of python, the language. Map/filter/reduce as you've indicated, isn't, it's clearly a library.

I guess, it's true that reduce is part of an included library. But map and filter are "built-in functions". I guess you could make a distinction between those and the language proper, but that's splitting some pretty fine hairs.

> In addition you previously complain that python doesn't have what you want "I get access to reduce... [in Ruby]" then prove that it does have it, so I don't see what you're saying.

Here's what I said:

"Yes, I know that python has map, filter, and reduce. But they're all gimped by the way python implements lambdas."

> Are you saying map, filter, reduce are implemented in the core language and not an add-on library?

If you look at the clojure cheetsheet[1], you can see all of the built-ins (most are functions, some are macros) that Clojure supports (as well as some included libraries).

map, filter, and reduce are all built ins. I strongly doubt that they're supported at the syntax level, but that's kind of lisp's shtick - even stuff like "+" is a built in function, and not "part of the language".

The idea to let the compiler run the tests only works if you constexpr everything, which means putting all code in headers.
This effectively means giving up on separate compilation. Worse, if you use some mixture (most code in headers but you still have >1 compilation unit), your compile times completely explode as essentially all code is compiled repeatedly for each unit.
AFAIK the "official" reason for creating HN was as a proof of concept for a viable web forum written in Arc, the lisp dialect PG was writing at the time. And bear in mind it was called Startup News before it became Hacker News.
Same here. I maxed out the M1 14” MacBook Pro as soon as it came out. It was a huge upgrade in every way. The M2s look great, but the only real difference is a slight bump in horsepower.

I’ll wait a release or two before upgrading. Apple haven’t lost an M2 sale because they’ve done anything wrong, they’ve guaranteed an M3 or M4 sale because they nailed it. It’ll take a while for that success to show up in their books though.
I've began to see nihilism as a memetic virus or disease. Once you begin wandering outside the boundaries where you were raised, you almost invariably end up catching the nihils. Some people have few symptoms and can easily continue living meaningful lives. However, other people are heavily affected by them, and become abated and purposeless. We know the symptoms to the nihils.

Then, it's a matter of taking care of yourself and antibodies will begin to build.

I know you are asking about this second part, and I'm sorry I can't give you a straightforward answer (a vaccine, could be said).

The most I can be confident to say is that, as every memetic phenomena, it has a strong subjetive charge. I don't think it is 100% subjective, as humans have more in common that we'd like to admit. And, most likely, the best vaccines for your case are already suggested and proven countless times before. Don't try to reinvent the wheel. Also, be wary of bullshitty alternatives to vaccines/medicine (superfluous and toxic feel-good coaching).
This is awesome!

I wonder what the compile time cost would be to just have this kind of unit testing in all the time.
Unless you live in a particularly hostile climate, house size alone won't change your consumption that much. Walls and floors don't draw power, appliances do.

The big difference is that in Europe in general it is much more frequent to directly burn something in your house in order to produce heat. Something almost unheard of in Canada for instance.

Especially in Australia, where we are also undergoing a housing crisis.
Australia's poorest don't own their homes, and renters don't have a say on insulation or solar installation.
The cleanup after a nuclear incident is also regulated through the wazoo. Thus it's expensive, deeply corrupted and probably unnecessary. We'd probably be better off simply closing the area for a couple hundred years until the most radioactive (and thus dangerous) stuff half-lifes away.

Meanwhile coal plants keep spewing slightly radioactive ash into the air and into our lungs and the cost is paid by us all in life expectancy. And soon by our whole civilization in global warming.
I've used Macbooks as my primary system since 2008. No idea what you're about.

Though there is one decidedly hostile decision: effing XCode Commandline Tools.
Yep, I am.
Hmm, there are obvisouly trade offs (it depends on the compiler how many tests, how are they written, etc.) but for apples to apples comparision the gtest binary would have to be either compiled with sanitizers (that would be probably slower to compile than static_assert tests without sanitizers) or run with valgrind or similar (execution would be much slower, static_asserts tets don't have to be executed, compiles=green).

I was disapointed by the default firmware: it adds noticable lag and is missing polish (for ex you can no longer hold buttons down for repeated press). I mean to write my own some day but realistically speaking that'll never happen.

Flyte: Open-Source Kubernetes-Native ML Orchestrator Implemented in Go
Apple hardware has a lot more capability than their software allows you to use. If Apple was interested in growing their market share further, there are a lot of gains are to be had in supporting non Apple software platforms on Apple hardware. Linux is an obvious one because of Asahi Linux. They've done a lot of the hard work already despite Apple not lifting a finger. Imagine how well that could work with a little Apple support. Even just unofficially. Share a bit of documentation, toss in a few developer resources, etc. Not that hard.

Making sure their CPU/GPUs work perfectly with e.g. Steam and making sure that game studios are able to target Apple hardware would make a lot of difference for their appeal to gamers. Steam, of course, is also starting to work in Asahi Linux as well. There is really no good technical reason why that couldn't work on Mac OS natively.

Of course the same reason that this is a good idea also means Apple won't do it because they seem to prefer controlling their software ecosystem at the cost of failing to grow it. So Metal is nice but completely useless for gaming, or indeed most consumer focused use cases involving 3D (except for the Apple sanctioned ones). OpenCL/OpenGL barely work at this point. Forget about vulkan or directx. The whole AR/VR thing is perpetually not happening at all on Apple hardware. Until such time that they choose to release some Apple branded hardware for this of course. They are also not really investing in making their AI optimized hardware work for mainstream AI developers. Etc.

Anyway, Apple could make a really nice gaming focused console based on e.g. the mac mini. Not that hard. It would not require a lot of changes. Basically beef up the Apple TV UI, make sure games actually can be ported to it, and job done. Not that hard. But as long as their OS is locked down and developer hostile, none of that will happen.
I pay but not really using it. Copilot is just so much easier to use..
Just a note that, just like AAD is a multiplication (and add) in disguise, AAM is an 8-bit unsigned division in disguise and also uses the CORD subroutine.
> That's absolutely not correct, the tax subsidy for buying bikes and ebikes in this country is bonkers and better than pretty much anywhere else.

Have you actually tried using it? Four problems:

1 - The bicycle belongs to your employer, and when it's ownership is formally transferred to you, you have to pay tax on it.

2 - The 'cycle Scheme' is implemented separately by each major bike shop running their own scheme, Halfords runs Cycle2Work, Evans runs Ride to work. Your employer signs up to one or the other. If you are on Cycle2Work you can't but from Halfords

3 - If you want something that's not in Halfords, like a specific seat you like or a Bafang Conversion kit, then you have to go to independent shops that are 'in network'. Halfords charges 15% commission, and Evans charges 10%

4 - Employers set random limits, for example my employer does not allow over 1K spend, so you can't buy a decent ebike
Some people go too far in parenting and pregnancy advice, sure, but apparently that's not enough to sell a book, so hyperbole packed in wishy-washy word-salad it is. Did these people not read about the incredibly high rate of maternal death before we had some understanding of infection? That seems precisely within the topic, but it's not mentioned. Instead, there's nonsensical post-modern philosophy style word games, like "We suggest this is because the pregnant body is the ultimate unknown: (1) it is corporeally veiled — showing and yet hiding the fetal body within" as if that explains anything.
I've never actually used gcc to target UEFI, but under Clang and other LLVM based compilers it really is just a few flags and header files. If I recall correctly my little demo linked above predates any sort of UEFI support in zig and just uses what LLVM provides, you can see how straightforward the whole thing is in the makefile (the little bit of assembly is unrelated to UEFI): https://github.com/liampwll/zig-efi-os/blob/master/Makefile

Edit: Here's a minimal example using clang from someone else: https://github.com/AndreVallestero/minimal-efi
It was misleading to me too, at first, given the current AI hypetrend, but "ever expanding" still makes sense here, and I prefer this more manual sense of "ever expanding" - the term doesn't deserve to be poisoned by AI hype.
> they want to release a huge upgrade every year.

For any other company the YoY upgrades to M-series would be headline-grabbing news and unprecedented achievements.

M-series is updated literally every year.

It just reads like they optimized for best impact, trying to cherry pick their way to presenting a big strawman and strike it. At least, scientists and doctors have a much more nuanced point of view than the authors imply they do. The resentment towards constraints imposed by parenthood is also not a novel phenomenon.

Considering the background of the authors, they certainly demonstrated some expertise and put a lot of effort in the rhetoric, "Science over Mothers", which makes me doubly doubtful of their level motivation to explain the problem better and clearer than scientists do:

Show HN: TurboPilot: Copilot clone runs code completion LLM on your CPU
Hi HN,

I spent my easter weekend stuck in the house with COVID and I decided to play with llama.cpp [1] and fauxpilot [2] to see if I could get LLM code assist working on pure CPU.

As a proof of concept I'd say I've proven that it's possible. However there's still a lot to do. The auto complete is quite slow at the moment. PRs welcome.

Are there any offline text to speech options that supports a wide variety of languages?
Infuriatingly differently from the 8086 i used to program for.

I tried to enter a "db CDh, 20h" which is the second-shortest valid DOS program.

- The "DB" instruction does not support multiple operands

- Programs needs to have start labels

- Start label can't point to bytes defined by "DB"

- NOP instruction not recognized

- DB cant be used without a label??

So i changed my mind and tried to write a simple 'ret' one-byte program. Which is a valid way to exit a program in DOS and CP/M.

Unrecognized token `` found at 0:3 Expected one of Error : ret is encountered without corresponding call

This is not an error in assembly!

Also the terms. "compiling" is the process that generates assembly from a higher language. "assembling" is the process of turning assembly into machine code.

Whatever this is, this is not for me.

Most new parents want what is best for their child and so there is much research into it. I don't see what the problem is. Are they mad that science told us that smoking was bad for children?

Also a lot of the rant, and yes I call it a rant was not aimed at "science", but more of a culture of parental perfectionism.

> So, without that, the best you could do would be to find a drug that is approved for something else that can be used off label.

Xylazine has a very rapid onset and a short half-life. So, as it can take >40 minutes for orally-administered drugs to be absorbed, there are really only two options that _might_ be legal and effective.

1) Administer an FDA-approved alpha-2 antagonist intravenously. There are no good options here. AFAIK, the only FDA-approved alpha-2 antagonist that's available as an intravenous injection is Thorazine -- and it does a hell of a lot besides counteract alpha-2 adrenoceptor activation. It's also an alpha-1 antagonist, dopamine antagonist, serotonin antagonist, and more. This likely makes it a little bit unpredictable in drug overdose scenarios.

2) Sidestep FDA approval with a fast-acting yohimbine nasal spray, administered as a "dietary supplement."

The FDA process is a terrible roadblock in situations like this. Intravenous atipamezole, which would be much better than either of the two options above, is available for veterinary use, but would be totally illegal for use in humans. (Like xylazine itself!)
Maybe more about the dealer's profit margin rather than the user's ability to pay. Fent is everywhere and not a choice. Celebrities are dying from Fent overdoes e.g. Michael K. Williams and Coolio.
Because you also need courage.

A lot of technically smart people over analyze everything and don't take any decisions that are non deterministic.

You can also say many technically smart people are also heavily short sighted and misses the big picture.

That's why you need the Jobs. Steve Wozniak by himself would have not started any kind of company and not remotely a company like Apple.

So the ones who are courageous, takes the risk and have a big picture vision gets the money.

Also the reason why many technically smart people never gets laid.
Given that Ken said most ARM processors, the nerd sniping becomes: what percentage of all ARM cores are M0/M0+/M1. I'd guess a lot (maybe not half though). Don't all micro SD cards have a processor inside them? They're probably almost all ARM...

>> Wait, how are you holding this position and telling me what to read when you couldn’t understand what “high dimensional representation of meaning” meant a few hours ago?

From the conversation so far it's clear to me that the OP has at least some idea of how word embeddings work and they described as "word salad" the expression that related them to "meaning", i.e. they quibbled about the "... representation of meaning", not the "high dimensional representation... " part.

I hope the OP can give a reference to the Quine and Kripke source they refer to.

As far as I remember it, the point about arithmetic with word verctors (man, king, woman, queen and all that) is a motivational example for Word2Vec by Tomas Mikolov, which wikpedia tells me was published in 2013. I can't find the reference right now, but in 2014 I was taking a Master's in all that jazz and I remember one of my tutors having the paper on his desk, and commenting that the claim that word embeddings model meaning was "well, that's what he says". So there has been debate and disagreement about the ability of word embeddings to represent meaning for at least as long as Word2Vec has existed, and as far as I know the idea of word embeddings existed earlier than that (I was taught the concept unconnected to word2vec in my Master's).

The bottom line is, just because somebody says their algorithm does a thing, doesn't mean that everyone has to accept it immediately, and without critical discussion.

So I, for one, want to see that Quine and Kripke stuff the OP is referring to.
As my friends would say "all my data is out there already, so it doesn't matter anymore"... this is what we're dealing with here.
What private business shows you all of their internal numbers? We know that it's an unknown (from our perspective). We also know that the counterfactual is mostly untestable (clone the company but raise artisan wages and see which version of the company survives).

Just assume that this might be a PR piece that benefits the company and move on.
I sometimes try to see in a graph what Tesla's battery impact was on the energy network.

My assumption is that it's stabiles the frequency so we'll that this should be easily seen in some frequency graph.

But I can't find one, if someone can enlighten me.
Not just percentage but a progressive percentage. So they paid even a higher percentage already!

Wealth taxes are unfair for the middle class they inevitably end up hitting. Multi billionaires being taxed on their wealth is not really unfair but they never really end up paying those taxes as they have access to legal tax avoidance loopholes so it's always the well off middle class that ends up footing the tax bill.

Wealth taxes should be dependent on what you do with your wealth. Is your wealth creating jobs, start-ups, education, research and innovation that benefit society and the environment? How about no wealth taxes for you. Is your wealth just sitting in hoarded land and real estate, looking to appreciate or for rent seeking opportunities? How about pay up or go fuck yourself.
