Most environmentalists are incapable of actually identifying things that would cause a cleaner world.

For example they actually think recycling plastic is better than incinerating it (it's not - incineration uses less energy in total because you need to pump less oil from the ground and produces less pollution because you don't need to work so hard to clean and separate the plastic).
They should have listened to Ian Dury.

Moments of sadness, moments of guilt
Stains on the memory, stains on the quilt
Chapter of incident, chapter and verse

You could take the perspective that this is art, and sometimes art sets constraints on how the viewer can experience it that be a limitation of the medium or something deliberate on the part of the artist.

I was happy enough to go with it, even though the flashing at first made me feel a bit uneasy. I'm glad people still find joy in this stuff - I remember building Flash animations in the early 2000s and quite enjoying learning about all this cool animation stuff and laying background music I'd ripped off a disc.

Bigger vehicles are "trucks" and smaller vehicles are "cars". They have different standards. So while a small Japanese truck may have more efficient than a larger truck, it is legally a very inefficient car.

This is also why SUVs exist, they are legally trucks for fuel efficiency/etc.
With the energy efficiency attainable by traveling in the upper atmosphere, this might be the greenest possible long range transportation.

God such a tantalizing solar punk dream. I would love just to hear the inside of an electric commercial airliner at altitude.
> And there is a cultural obsession with big vehicles being tied to masculinity.

This is definitely regional. In California, social status (/"masculinity") is tied to luxury brands. Especially in the metros, if you were driving a giant truck you're going to be laughed at (more often than not) as parking is going to be impossible for you and you're going to be spending 150usd/5days to fill up.

In Cascadia/Northern California, eco-drivers (Prius, Tesla, etc) are seen as the self/entitled assholes.

And in Colorado, it's people with AWD/4WD cars (especially, Subarus and Jeeps).

"Trucks" as a social status signifier is confined more to more rural and Southern states.
For some reason in Australia this got picked up by the media who made a small culture-war type conflict of cars vs cyclists. It's now open season on cyclists by car drivers (and very occasionally the other way around) - every regular cyclist has a tale to tell of car drivers being openly aggressive (I had a beer bottle thrown at my head by a passing car - luckily his aim was as bad as his judgement).

At least in the U.S., poor people buy used cars, while existing and proposed ICE bans effect new car sales. Any real economic effect will be delayed until after the ban, and in any event they'll still be buying used cars. I suppose used EVs might end up costing more, but they might end up costing less. Also, the immediate effect of bans might actually be to create a glut of cheap, used ICE cars.

None of that implies less risk of a populist backlash, though; not for any class of 'mericans, rich or poor.
> It's kind of hard to convince a reader that the hero is at risk of dying when there's obviously 2/3rds of a book left.

This is what George R. R. Martin wanted to do. He will kill the fake-out protagonist at any time.

This is supposed to mean that he is a great writer. But really it just means he's bad at storytelling - you'd tell a better story by just focusing on the actual protagonists instead of random redshirts. Focusing the correct characters has no effect on the plot.

I will add, the fasting from food and water is the easy part. The more important fast is fasting from everything that is bad -- cursing, backbiting, lying, etc -- and from your own desires. All these things are things you shouldn't do anyway, but this is a time to refresh commitment to not doing those things.

As the Quran says: "Oh, you who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that you may learn piety and righteousness" [Quran 2:183]

>When I first played around with gpt-4 I was filled with immense dread

Really? When I played around with it I was filled with incredible optimism and hope. It was an amazing companion that helped me with my code, answered questions, and what I hoped Google Assistant/Alexa/Siri etc would become a few years in. Sadly they never did.

This is amazing, and would be an excellent personal assistant when it becomes cheap enough for smaller personalized LLMs.
I don’t think you need a paper to understand that if unchecked, climate change will mean humans are pretty much done.

dsl (Dmitry) is the main developer behind the DPAA2 drivers for FreeBSD and he's done a fantastic effort so far. Myself and Bjoern (bz) have also written bits of it.

Unfortunately commonplace in Barcelona. A thief that is caught will only get a small fine for thefts under 400€ even if it's the 1000th time. So the chance of a fine is just taken as the cost of doing 'business' by these professional pickpocketing gangs.

If there's violence involved it's another story but if a victim initiates it, they themselves can get into trouble. So these thieves are trained to be ultra passive.

> Perhaps understandable given how hilariously little adoption there’s been of jumbo frames on the wider internet.

Jumbo frames are not intended¹ to be adopted on the internet, and likely never will be. You need end-to-end control of devices to make sure they work correctly (as the article points out, even PPPoE ⇒ 1492 has PMTU issues on the open internet, it's best practice to run PPPoE on 1508 so you get back to 1500…) But they are very much used inside of administrative domains, e.g. for SANs and cloud interconnects. It's visible when you are a cloud customer, but absolutely not on the open from e.g. your home or mobile internet.

That's a bit like arguing "they polished the turd but some people will still complain".

Yes. It's still a turd under the polish.

The real problem is that bad actors would simply encode some other person's coordinates/metadata into the recordings they produce, and we'll have been trained by then to blindly accept the presence of these markers as strong evidence of guilt.
Nope, the variable is cost per passenger. Large jets only exist because fuel is really expensive. The cost per passenger gets astronomical with smaller planes. That's why only rich people can afford that. Big planes are more economical. Because of the fuel.

This is simply not true with electrical planes. A mega watt hour of power is about 60-100$. And much cheaper than that with renewables. Not at retail prices of course. But if you consume power by the mwh, you'd be investing in your own generation (solar + storage) pretty soon. A mwh is about what you need to move a small electrical plane a few hundred miles. The kerosene cost for a similar journey in a small jet is going to be hundreds of dollars, even for a small jet. The smallest jets burn 50-100 gallons of fuel per hour (in cruise). Depending where you get your fuel, that ranges from 3-5$ per gallon. That's why small jets are only for rich people. Even a very short flight sets you back hundreds of dollars. A simple propeller plane is cheaper. But we're still talking 5-10 gallons per hour. That's why people talk about 100$ hamburgers. Because that's what it costs to take your tiny plane out to grab a burger somewhere.

Big big jets are a bit more economical with fuel than small ones. But they only makes sense if you can distribute fuel cost among many passengers.

With electrical, you can use lots of smaller planes cost effectively rather than having to put lots of people in a few bigger ones. For the same reason, you don't need big airports either. Or worry about pollution. And even the noise of small electrical planes is not as much of a problem. And with autonomous flight, we won't even need pilots long term. Small electrical planes are good enough and much nicer for passengers, more flexible to operate, etc.
While it does use lithium it doesn't necessarily have to use the 'same chemistry' as existing technologies. Beyond that, they haven't (or maybe never will) release fully the technology so we can not know.
The US very nearly built a 60MW nuclear reactor for use in airplanes after their scaled down design at 2.5MW was successfully built, ran, and tested. This was done in the 1950s and, incidentally, required inventing molten salt reactors. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_Reactor_Experiment

(They actually planned to go all the way to 350MW, which could theoretically run a transatlantic passenger jet with 2,000 passengers, assuming it’s even possible to build such an airframe.)
IRC? Try HN. ... or really just about anywhere. People rarely post "I don't know", if they know they don't know they don't post. ... and you don't post you don't exist. So in any venue online the level of confidence is dramatically overstated and probably the amount of wrong answers too.

Not that things would be much better for LLMs if that weren't true. LLMs that learned their "don't know" practices from text-- they'd only be right about it on things that everyone didn't know and would probably give erroneous don't know answers or things they actually do know, so it would be just another way of being incorrect. :)

Suppressing out of control making stuff up is hard for human minds too. Go talk to a four or five year old. :) I've wondered if part of the reason for it is that it's something much easier learned through interaction than from observation.
This is awesome in (for me) at least two dimensions at the same time: it's a very interesting way of visualizing the actual math concept going on, by making the equation 3D to match what it's modelling. At the same time, it's very impressive technically that this can be done at all, and done without active per-frame custom code.

That this amount of "whoa that's not a 2D document" can be done by the web's standard stylizing technology is amazing. I'm not (again, personally) 100% convinced it should be this amazing[*], but that's another discussion.

Well done.

>If you think AI is a disaster, think about the potential for medical breakthroughs that can emerge from this.

Don't bother. People here love to miser. There's no way you're getting any positive responses to this. Let doom and gloom begin.
Meeeeeehhhh...I don't think that is likely to happen any time soon. Could be wrong, but I don't think it's likely.

The reason being: All software engineers are trained to read and write code, aka. precise formal languages. All feedback from systems about errors in that are also precise and formal languages.

What will likely happen, is that we will use anthropomorphic language more and more to generate code, especially code that is easy to describe but just a boring hassle to type (aka. boilerplate or things like simple unit tests).
Fasting is a great idea, but most of the Muslim friends I have eat through out the night after breaking the fast at sunset. I don't think that is very healthy.
Show HN: Uptrace – open-source APM (alternative to Datadog, NewRelic)
If you had an AI generated Netflix let’s say after 5 years of this you will start to see how it is dull and you will see the boundaries of it. Kind of like how Metflix sounds Netflix or TEDx sounds TEDx.

Then I guess handmade or half handmade will be back in trend. The problem is after all this time AI was trending it was eating up talents and industries and after that a massive part of artists will be gone and the (human) industry shrunk. No more huge human made artistic ecosystem… Less worldwide talents. Less high quality and innovative ideas.
Much of the old internet is still there, just outside the walled gardens of the modern internet.
Uptrace is an open-source APM tool that supports distributed tracing, metrics, and logs. You can use it to monitor applications and set up alerts to receive notifications via email, Slack, Telegram, and more.

In v1.4 release Uptrace got built-in alerting capabilities that allow to monitor metrics, manage alerts, and receive notifications without using AlertManager. But AlertManager is still supported.

While OpenTelemetry remains to be the main source of telemetry data, Uptrace also provides integrations for Prometheus metrics, Vector logs, FluentBit, Sentry, and CloudWatch.

You can quickly try Uptrace by:

- Running a Docker example: https://github.com/uptrace/uptrace/tree/master/example/docke...

- Checking Uptrace Cloud demo: https://app.uptrace.dev/play

If you have any feedback or questions, let me know in the comments!
Ok so what will they be doing instead ?
As someone else mentioned on another thread, we've got services like https://brid.gy which aim to be a central means for doing this, but there are also other apps for other platforms, and in some cases, you need to do it yourself

There are a couple issues with your assessment.

A) most cars manufactured by European and Japanese brands are built in Mexico and direct imported via NAFTA/USMCA. The fact that Toyota and Honda choose to continue to do manufacturing in the United States is probably seen as a boon to those local communities.

B) the "low quality" image of American brands is pretty limited to the United States, like a lot of American products (California wine, for instance, is generally bottom shelf in the US but well regarded internationally). In Russia, Ford used to be their top marquee. Ford and GM are both huge in Oceania. In LATAM, they're seen as a step up from Japanese and Chinese brands and Volkswagen. In Europe, they're not generally perceived as low-quality; instead, the perception is that they're too large and fuel inefficient for most European roads/cities.
"ML-adjacent"

Sure, no doubt anything ML is in high demand right now. Any tiips for getting into the space, before the crowd? (I'm quite sure everyone and their dog with some spare time are right now genning up on openAI prompts, API, langchain, running Llama locally and finetuning it, working with data prep tools etc).
It's a joke, it doesn't need to be true, only to have a kernel of truth like all good jokes. And as a recent Emacs convert after years of vim I must say that kernel is there. The breadth and scope of Emacs is extreme. Talking seriously it's obviously not an OS, but it's not an editor either. It's a framework for people to build their editors on. While vim for example is a great editor right out of the box and even the best evil integrations are not 100% up there with it.
Will there be gas stations, though?
Compated to jet fuel, avgas is more expensive today because there's almost no market for it. When synthesized, it's probably cheaper to produce than jet fuel.
It's wild to imagine that people would widely violently protest against such a change. Like, I find it pretty amusing to look back at the old news broadcasts of people objecting to allowing women in bars or disallowing drunk driving or requiring cars to come with seatbelts, but those all just feel like they're from a completely different time. If people in this day will espouse similarly intelligent positions, it'll be so interesting.
>> I will add, the fasting from food and water is the easy part.
Yes, sleep deprivation is the most difficult part. Going to bed late due to invitations, prayers.. getting up early morning to eat breakfast and waking up for work :)
I wouldn’t be surprised if activation lock causes _more_ theft. If stolen devices are worth less due to activation lock, thieves need to steal more phones to make up the lost profits.

Also, the data on a phone is almost always far more valuable than the phone itself. If a thief steals my phone, it’s much better for me if they erase it. But they can’t do that, so my stolen phone with all my data just sits there one exploit away from being exposed.

Activation lock only serves to benefit the manufacturer as they get to sell more phones. It doesn’t benefit the consumer at all.
Why is it so important for you to be able to pollute a bit more when commuting?
> World’s largest battery maker announces major breakthrough in energy density

Anything less than a ~400x increase is a minor breakthrough based on my expectations. I would like to charge my phone once a year.
> A future of sustainable is a future of more consumption, but green consumption.

This is a common trope among the HN crowd. There's no such thing as green consumption. Consuming resources means pollution, whether it be CO2, toxic substances or other refuse from industrial processes. Manufacturing solar panels and wind turbines still means resource extraction which is polluting by definition. Oh, and by the way, we don't know how to mine for metals without using fossil fuels. What you call "green consumption" simply does not exist.

Poor people drive buses, not cars.
The main reason why Path MTU detection is fragile is that many people ignorantly filter all ICMP traffic (including type 3). But educating people about ICMP and its role in PMTUD [1] seems like a lost battle. I wish to be proven wrong but I have an impressions that younger developers, devops/SRE and even network engineers know about network protocols less in than 10-20 years ago. Nowadays I rarely meet people how know what Path MTU Discovery is. I even stopped asking about it on job interviews (for devs/ops) because no one can answer, it's a luck if a candidate can tell anything about ICMP at all.

> They at least respect lanes as drawn on the road.

Sometimes anyway. Ignoring lanes when making a turn (e.g. drift out on a multi-lane turn) is sadly common.
I've done a course like that but i question the value. The few hours i spent sliding around on a slippery track 10 years ago didn't really embedd the skills to the point that i would know what to do if my cars got in a slide today. Most people don't get into situations like that enough to train the skills regularly.
