No the regulations did not cause people to buy trucks/suvs. It exempted them from fuel efficiency requirements. People want to drive tanks but if we make tanks expensive they won’t. I’m not sure though if it’ll work since the average truck/suv is 50k with many close to 80k.

What they need to do is increase visibility requirements and make the trucks safer for pedestrians.

Yes. Yes, you can.

Modern nuclear plans with light water reactors are designed to have strong manoeuvring capabilities. Nuclear power plants in France and in Germany [ report from 2011 ] operate in load-following mode, i.e. they participate in the primary and secondary frequency control, and some units follow a variable load programme with one or two large power changes per day.

Most of the modern designs implement even higher manoeuvrability capabilities, with the possibility of planned and unplanned load-following in a wide power range and with ramps of 5% Pr [rated power] per minute.

This is mostly a political issue. China and South Korea are bringing reactors online faster.

> Fourthly, as we found last year, during heat waves rivers can run dry causing a shortage of water to cool the plants forcing them to go offline.

Again, that was a combination of things, including politically-motivated underinvestment in maintenance of nuclear power plants

Cultures can and will change. What names are common or 'acceptable' will change too. Older folks often have 'strange' old names long out of fashion. Are they to be taken less seriously? It all strikes me as grade-school gate keeping.

If folks only take certain names seriously then they are the ones with a problem.
> something something NP-hard.

Yes, in general. But the usual limits of "bounded rationality" make that result basically irrelevant. Most people don't have a myriad strong beliefs.

The problem is more like "the 10 commandments are inconsistent" and not that "Rawls' reflective equilibrium might not converge".
I think that's the right solution. There has been discussion on it before.

on Misskey: https://github.com/misskey-dev/misskey/issues/9504

There is a lot of resistance to the idea. The browser UX for registering protocols is not particularly intuitive. The protocol should not be named after Mastodon because they are defensive of their trademark, and it wouldn't be accurate since the user identifier could be followed from any ActivityPub compatible software.

If you look at the newer comments on the Mastodon github thread I posted you can see web+ap:// recommended, or apub://

I think there just needs to be enough collective will to make this happen. Likely another project will need to take the lead because Mastodon team has decided the browser UX is too much of a barrier. Maybe glitch-soc can do a proof of concept.

Actual premature optimisation is harmful for the same reason as premature abstraction. In both cases, improvements that come "for free" should be done without thinking, but one they start to impact readability, we should consider how beneficial those changes really are.
You can keep spewing non sense like this, but people here are more literate than what you are used to. Your argument boils down to - if you insulted or are perceived to have insulted the prophet of Islam (by even quoting a hadith), then you deserve to die and live in perpetual fear of being murdered by a "ghazi".

No one cares if Nupur Sharma lost a bloody BJP job. You are justifying murder and religious fanaticism.
Even accepting this dichotomy at face value, rephrasing this a bit you could say it's a choice between bodily injury (to the protestors) or property damage. It's telling that in the US property "wins".
I would quibble about the fact that the screenshot functionality was stolen from macOS, but the thing that really kills me is your comment about File Explorer. My impression, after decades of Windows and now a decade of macOS, is that you just don't have to spend as much time with Finder in macOS as you do with Explorer on Windows. There's something about working on a Mac that simply alleviates a lot of the work of fiddling with files like you have to do in Windows. Maybe it's because I don't deal with Office docs much any more. I don't know. Anyone else feel this difference?
Michael Liebreich has vouched for this idea, which slightly raises my opinion of it, but it still seems odd to me.

It seems to be stuck in the past, talking about "baseload" and solar in deserts.

Being part of an Europe wide supergrid that connects distributed storage and generation seems to be a much more modern take from the UK side.

Meanwhile Morocco probably wants to be looking at ways it can turn its renewables into something it can sell to more than one country, probably via some kind of value-add industry.

edit: one specific oddity, in order to make full use of the cable, they need to combine the solar with wind and batteries. But wind and batteries can be installed in the UK/North Sea, and wind is stronger in the winter.
Now we know where the phrase, “Grandma, this salad tastes like $hit” comes from.
For me DRY is one of the most important principles for maintainable software. Imagine having to fix a bug at two independent places or having to add or change the same conceptual functionality at two different places (which you may not even be aware, because you don't remember you copied code somewhere else once)
Totally unnecessary bugs guaranteed, and ready to be thrown away after some time, because a change will be harder than a rewrite.

It's enough pain when the effort is too big to avoid (e.g. Js frontend, Rust Backend) it.

Juniors will learn the difference between actual and imagined similarities at some time.
> Pro*C... I still have nightmares about it.

We had to use Pascal with Oracle embeddings (CS130 with Carol Goble if anyone from cs.man.ac.uk is reading.) Most peculiar it was.
>Firstly, it's not cheap compared to modern solar and that trend is likely to continue.

But with solar you must include the cost of large scale energy storage, which makes it more expensive

>Secondly, it's not a responsive source of electricity - so you can't modulate the output easily.
1) that's what pumped hydro is for, 2) modern reactors can alter their output by as much as 5%/minute
I'd rather farm all my own food, build my own house, and teach my own kids, but I don't have infinite time each day.
1980 and 2021 civic get basically the same mpg.
it's easier, but for me it defeats the purpose of visiting or living in a different country. so i prefer to stay away from expat groups. fortunately the local linux user groups or other tech groups in the places i have been to had more locals or a mix of locals and foreigners, and i was able to make a few very good local friends that way.
Not just not cheap. 5x more expensive.

It doesnt really matter what kind of storage you have to pair with solar (batteries, pumped storage, windgas) it still delivers cheaper power.
In Czech all traffic must yield when entering a roundabout, including the tram. As far as I can tell the yield signs are there for foreigners might be used to different rules.

Regarding your second point, if you mean a car changing lanes from an inner lane to an outer lane, it does need to yield to everyone in that outer lane. This includes yielding to cyclists whose trajectory would intersect with the car. Again, the same applies to all traffic.

Is this difficult to obtain (e.g., via ioctl(2)) and parse?

[edit] looks like it's readable from sysfs: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/driver-api/mmc/mmc-de...

Parsing is another matter. It would be really useful if e.g., parted could read/parse that and then automatically align created partitions!
I think the value is actually towards the Fidelity CMA right now and I'm saying this as a long-time Schwab enthusiast.

To your points:

1. No minimum opening or ongoing balance required on the CMA. Note. You don't have to open a separate brokerage account. The CMA is a brokerage account.

2. If push comes to shove you can always do a manual cash disbursement (aka "cash advance", but there's no line of credit involved here) from any bank displaying the Visa logo. The range ($500, $1000] is a little too specific to be useful, and you'd probably have to hit up multiple ATMs anyway. It is also much easier to have multiple Fidelity CMA accounts than multiple Schwab Bank accounts if for some reason you really need specifically ATM network transactions.

3. This is partially correct but not as big as the deficit you're stating. Fidelity charges 1% if the card is used for a foreign Visa debit purchase. ATM fees are reimbursed globally (supposedly a little less reliable than Schwab) and forex is zero on ATM. The only time I've seen a need for this is back when Chip-and-PIN was first being introduced and my credit cards weren't working with offline PIN in Europe. Since then, I don't think I've ever needed to use the Visa debit network.

In comparison:

A. Schwab free wires are limited to three per quarter and only if you have $100k of assets. Fidelity wires are always free. The web interface is worse on Fidelity though: you have to call them if over $100k, if you have a memo, or if you have further credit instructions, so take this with a slight grain of salt. If you have consistent memo/further credit instructions you can send a form in to be able to do these online. The "not having to worry about quota" is super nice.

B. The ability to auto-liquidate money market funds, as the Fidelity CMA is actually just a brokerage account, for incoming ACH/ATM/Visa/check debits at any time of day or week makes the Fidelity product far more useful than Schwab's ridiculous 0.2x% interest product. It means I no longer have to worry about my account balance, which can safely be at $0 (as long as there are sufficient appropriate money market fund investments).
Maybe CSP will finally have its day in the sun.
At this stage of LLM-based AI, you can consign everything to the "a demo project" bin, because adoption is in no way at par with more traditional tools.

Meaning, the area is skewed towards popularity/interest, and for that, GitHub Stars remain a good-enough indicator, just as upvotes on GH issues, and posts on certain sites are.
One way to do it is through hobby groups which meet IRL. You can make friends in the hobby-space there, and then gradually start inviting them to things that are not related to the hobby (becoming more of a true friend).
> What is your use-case?

Want a DB to store highly connected massive graph structure with requirement of auditing and analytics.

It is a document store, supports changefeed, is distributed and fault-tolerant, supports geospatial types, auto-sharding and can scale horizontally.
Hmm, good point. I always forget about gen-class, because I've been burned by AOT compilation too many times.
Trying to read the linked study [1] are they applying 200mV? Is there a current limiter or a signal modulator or is this just pure direct current? I will be happy to test this on myself as I always manage to get cuts and scrapes working on the homestead.

I currently just apply a mixture of povidone iodine and zinc oxide after irrigating with H2O2.

The problem is that it's not quite code. It's almost code, but without the precision, which puts it into a sort of Uncanny Valley of code-ness. It's detailed instructions for someone to write code, but the someone in this case is an alien or insane or on drugs so they might interpret it the way you meant it or they might go off on some weird tangent. You never know, and that means you'll need to check it with almost as much care as you'd take writing it.

Also, having it write its own tests doesn't mean those tests will themselves be correct let alone complete. This is a problem we already have with humans, because any blind spot they had while writing the code will still be present for writing the tests. Who hasn't found a bug in tests, leading to acceptance of broken code and/or rejection of correct alternatives? There's no reason to believe this problem won't also exist with an AI, and they have more blind spots to begin with.
Nice looking site. Great Job.
The engineers who couldn't get jobs at OpenAI need to work somewhere.
You saying “lack of pragmatic judgment” is calling someone “dumb” in more words — and I think it’s telling you can’t own your comment.
HVDC makes long distance transmission viable, and long links already exist: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1305820/longest-power-tr... (The direct distance between eg Paris and Ouarzazate is 2100km for reference.)

There's a proposal to link the UK to Morocco directly with a 3800km cable: https://xlinks.co/morocco-uk-power-project/

A private scheme in Australia (Sun Cable/PowerLink) was looking at connecting Australia to Singapore via a 4500km cable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia-Asia_Power_Link (It fell apart due to commercial issues rather than technical/engineering ones from what I'm aware.)
Custom index software built from scratch in Java. MariaDB link database. The entire search engine runs on a PC in my living room.

You could pretty trivially shard the index by `hash(domain) % numShards`. There's no support for this because I literally only have this single server, but it wouldn't be much work.
Ask HN: How do you document and organize your scribbles/files?
Hi everyone!
I have this problem that I always end up with tabs and tabs of scribbles, copy-pastes, documentation etc in Sublime text. It starts off organized but ends up in a sort of chaos with little time to go through most of it and organize, tag and structure it.
Tried different tools such as notepads (Sublime etc), OneNote and so on but it usually ends up the same in some degree.
What tools are you using to make sure chaos doesn’t ensure?
In a perfect world I would love a personal ChatGPT that I could feed the notes into and receive them back in an ordered, sorted and structured way but unless I can self host it I can’t trust it since notes contain budiness stuff as well.
We do tax profit, but it’s funny some companies just never make any…
I think the complaint here is about larger roundabouts that tend to admit higher speeds and have a large radius, not low-speed tight circles in dense mixed-use areas.
thank you for again demonstrating russian propaganda gish gallop, from multiple whataboutisms, to false equivalencies, to outright fabrications, to tu quoque fallacies, to ad hominem fallacies, all wrapped up neatly in an "I know you are but what am I"

of course it would be a waste of time to address the layers of nonsense due to Brandolini's law,

but suffice it to say that russia, who never apologized for genociding millions of Ukrainians, repeats the same gish gallop in their propaganda to distract from their war on, and latest attempted genocide of, Ukraine,

just like you are currently using it to distract from the topic at hand, which is russian propaganda

it seems, unfortunately, you have a chip on your shoulder preventing you from sticking to this topic and discussing it honestly, as do most people who repeat such russian propaganda, and all you have instead is "no u". Indeed, you were never "responding" in the first place, just complaining that people were criticizing russia and attacking them for it

this explains why russia has consistently lost UN votes in which they repeat the exact gish gallop propaganda you have, rather than defend their actions on their own merit – seems the world thinks russia should clean their own house before preaching to others about theirs
Posting a salty anecdote of loss and missed opportunity from the early (presumably) days of ones career doesn't necessarily mean someone is bitter in general.
Per their website, they still seem to focus on ad-less search. What am I missing?
I wonder what are the local climate effects of fully covering the desert by solar panels (that's not exactly what will happen here but still). Presumably the temperature will be reduced, but I wonder if it's possible to use this to make that to make the area less deserty.
You can have traffic signals for pedestrians even if there is a roundabout for cars.
The benefit isn't so much that you can be friends with your neighbours, but that the density makes all distances shorter and by extension your friends are still much closer.

In a suburb many of my friends would be 15+ minutes away by car. In the city I live in now (almost entirely apartments/multi-household buildings), almost all of my friends are within a 15 minute walk. It has been a massive improvement to my social life, mostly due to the ease at which gatherings can spontaneously/easily occur.
That's a terrible name. I hope he doesn't go with that.
What's the GPU in your model?
The only objective rule in SOLID is L:

"Objects of a superclass should be replaceable with objects of its subclasses without breaking the application."

And when you decipher it, it literally means "all X should act like X", which is already obvious. I.e. if "Y extends X" then Y is also X, so Y should act like X.

The other rules are so vague and subjective, that you can spin them any way around to prove someone's code sucks if you choose so. Which is ideal for selling people books & consultation services. And for Internet arguments.
Your original question was about the existence of other technologies apart form blockchains allowing for transfer of game assets, and I answered that. My two main points are that there are other ways of doing it, and that the core issue is more about opening a canworm of game design problems rather than finding a technical solution to the exchange of information between games.

I still think that the added benefits of using a blockchain in this particular scenario are very little and not relevant in practice (e.g. a game studio doesn't close overnight, so users would have time to transfer their items somewhere else and I think no bank would accept my Minecraft diamond sword as a collateral for a loan), but these are my personal opinions and as such are debatable.
Really excellent simulation and explanation. Thank you!
You can technically run them in load following mode and some countries have but the cost is even more insane than using it as baseload.

The vast majority of the cost of nuclear power (which is very, very, very expensive) is capex for building out the capacity. Building it and then leaving it idle is crazy.

Cost of NPP with load following > NPP paired with storage > solar+wind paired with storage.

(where storage could be batteries, pumped storage or windgas).

In the same paragraph the author acknowledges the dangers or relying on a foreign entity for energy supply, and ends up proposing the exact same thing.

I'm all in for renewable when it makes sense, but I think it's time we stop pretending all renewables work everywhere. Solar is not going to work in Northen Europe, and transporting energy from the south is also not the solution.

Nuclear is an essential piece of the climate puzzle, especially for northen climates, and these kinds of proposals feel like the German anti-nuclear agenda bending their backs to try and find _some way_ to make it work.
Wiby is manually curated. Means their result align much better with the operator's vision. Marginalia has an orders of magnitude bigger index, but not all of it is as consistently good as Wiby.

Launch HN: Prompt Engineering as a Service
Hey HN,

We're thrilled to announce the launch of our Prompt Engineering Service, a platform specifically designed for startups looking to harness the capabilities of state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing (NLP) models like GPT-4.

We know that HN can be cynical about the hand-waving done with prompt engineering, but it is hard to deny the quality of results of LLMs these days. We base our work on quantitative analysis from data that we have seen in the last three years as founders in the generative AI space, and from active research in the field of In Context Learning. In fact, I'm writing the course on the topic.

Our goal is to enable startups with any amount of NLP experience, from zero to an entire team, to craft effective and efficient prompts. We can handle a wide range of NLP prompts tailored to your specific needs whether it's content generation, customer support, data extraction, or anything in between, our expertly crafted prompts are here to help you make the most of GPT-4 and other cutting-edge NLP models.

Here's what makes our Prompt Engineering Service stand out:

1. Expertly Crafted Prompts: Our team of NLP specialists carefully design each prompt to ensure optimal performance and results for your specific use case.

2. Scalable Solutions: As your startup grows, our platform will grow with you. Easily expand your range of prompts and adapt to new challenges as your business evolves.

3. Ongoing Support: Our team is dedicated to helping startups succeed. We provide continuous support and prompt updates to ensure you stay ahead of the curve in the ever-evolving world of NLP.
