I saw something in the news today that the gemeente has earmarked €100m for the bridge, 1/3rd of the total (another 100m coming from another source, and the remaining to be raised.) Bike tunnels under the IJ apparently (so I recall reading, anyway) also have the issue that to have not too steep slopes at the end, the entry/exit points will have to be a reasonable distance from the water itself.

This is a really great explanation, but could you also add a few references? That would help greatly.

Greetings! We're a biased and hallucinated news source curated by a team of talented writers. Every day they scour the internet for the most interesting and relevant events of the realm.

With projects like this "why" is often more important than "what". This is my way of coping with the amount of disruptive/live-changing AI startups appearing every minute. Literally 2 minutes ago, my puppy farted and a new LLMs popped out from his pink butt!
Which is why if you watch the talk where this was announced, Windows is in the process of requiring signed binaries, and two admin levels like on macOS.

That was my immediate thought also, but vacuum tubes I know commonly use 6.3V AC.
This is super interesting to me! Super cool balance between sustainability, biology, and tech.

Not to Shill, but are you planning on hiring anytime soon?
i also don't really understand why they don't offer a similar software/hardware package ontop of linux as apple does.
Amazing project!

However, I would not do it by foot, even with the best intentions like they seems to have 40minutes in a tunnel will bring me down ahah

my sons teacher made him class monitor, that means he had to report if other kids broke rules. i found that somewhat strange to have such a role, but the teacher said that it would stop my son from trying to break rules, because he would have to report himself.
Hey Siri, set a timer for 13 minutes.

This article makes the same mistake that Turing made: assuming that by creating a thinking machine one is creating a mind. We are not gods, we have simply made a machine. We haven’t externalized intelligence either. Intelligence isn’t determined by our thoughts alone, but through our actions, our will.

I critique many of these false assumptions in an article of mine:

While everybody in Norway (including the citizens of Bergen) like to quip about the Bergen downpour, it really isn't that bad.

Annual precipitation is approx. 2,500mm, distributed over some 230 days.

The wettest place in Norway, on average, is Brekke a couple of hours north of Bergen, receiving some 3,500mm annually.

As I used to say when living in Bergen if a tourist asked me if it always rained there - 'No idea, I've only lived here for fifteen years!'
As a cyclist, I don't have an issue sharing space with other traffic, but I do have an issue with the hyper-aggressive drivers that seek to scare and/or injure cyclists by not giving them enough space when overtaking. There's also the abusive drivers that shout at you and beep their horn at you if they disagree with any choices that you've made such as which road to use.

Drivers and riders are hardly comparable in terms of dangerous behaviour and that's without even taking into account any consideration of pollution and environmental destruction (e.g. car parks, lithium mining etc.)
People use it to
- start and stop timers

> People need to realize that even the Dutch generally have cars and drive.

It depends a lot where you are. Live in a major city and very few people have cars, they're expensive and spend a lot of time just sitting around taking up space and money. Go to a less dense area and they're a lot more common.

Also, pay-by-the-minute or whatever car rentals aren't uncommon for when people need them but don't want to actually own one.
Not necessarily, they would run just fine of lead acid cells, 3 of which produce... 6.3V DC.
It's unbelievable that Apple hasn't been able to do better.

My 'favorite' Siri 'feature' is when I ask for directions to 'home' it gives me directions to the local Home Depot.... really???

EDIT: After thinking about this for a while, the reason this irks me is that 'directions to home' is one of the most basic asks. I am not asking Siri to play some obscure unreleased track from an underground British punk band. I am asking for directions to my home, and it fails.
I run a pihole and clients can request an exception and then I grant it on my own device.

Having root type into someone else’s machine that they control is a total noob move and it’s funny the teacher fell for it.

Of course since the student is using a custom machine it’s likely they have a specific ip, host name, and traffic pattern that can identify them (eg, look at the requests across 7 different classrooms and find the single student that’s in all of them before the password spreads too much). Then they can intervene and punish the kid.

Keyloggers aren’t particularly clever or “hackery” and are just a social engineering hack so it’s more malicious than exploratory.

But I’d hope the school doesn’t crack down too hard and instead uses it to teach kids that if you want to be clever you have to be very clever.

The ph sensor will die fast if it the membrane is kept dry.
People also just adjust. If you don't drive--or at least can't rent a car easily/don't want to--you just tend not to do activities or go places requiring that you do so. I couldn't get by day-to-day without a car but even if I lived in the city, I'd regularly want to drive one to visit people, do weekend activities, etc.

Price cutting by enough to pull your demand forward is probably a losing strategy for Intel. If they cut their CPU price in half, would they sell twice as many? I doubt it.

Their gross margin is between 40 and 50%. Call it 50% to be generous and make the math easy. If their selling price today is 6X and they sell U units, their gross profit is 3 * X * U. If they cut the selling price to 4X and sell 2U units, the resulting profit is around 2 * X * U. If they were somehow able to move 3 times as many units with a 33% price reduction, their gross profits would stay about the same as today.

What would a 33% reduction in the price of the Intel components in your laptop mean at retail? A 10% reduction in the shelf price? 15% maximum?

Ask HN: Is the job market in Europe tough or is something wrong with me?
Context: I'm a SWE with 2 years of experience, I’ve worked with ML/data engineering and Python backend stack (Django). I'm from Russia, but I have an EU passport and looking for a job within the EU (because of the situation and new conscription laws in my home country, it gets dangerous)

I've been searching for a job for 3 months with no success. I got to the technical interview only in 3 companies, in the first one I got rejected after the final interview with the founder (4 interviews in total +1 big home project, in the end, they chose somebody else). Today, I got rejected from the third place, although I thought I did really well (prepared as much as I could) and I'm not even sure what I could've done better during the tech interview

I feel really depressed and completely burnt down, especially given the situation in my country and how much effort I've put into the job search. I track companies that have relevant positions and reach out to people on Linkedin directly, and it works much better than just applying. At this point, I think I got +20-30 referrals and a dozen of phone screens, and I got rejected even for the positions where my background fits 100%. I'm not sure what I could do and I feel helpless.

I've been searching for a remote position within any EU country and perhaps I should apply to all possible jobs, including on-site, but I don't know if it would change the situation for the better :(

It started as a necessity project and evolved over time. You see my daughter started to wanted to have her independence around 5th grade (11 years old) and didn't liked me or her mother to go to school or get her home from school. So she needed a key to enter the apartment. Problem was that she lacked the necessary strength to actually unlock the door - door lock had a certain key position and until you hit that position it required quite a strength to do that. So every day she came from school she was ringing at the door. Whoever (me most of the time) was at home, had to go to the door and open it for her.

So that's how I started this project. Get the door to be unlocked. Bought a new lock, with electromagnetic locker in it, hooked up a Raspberry Pi to command a switch for 0.5 seconds and then wrote a server application for RPi that does the command. Wrote another Android app, that connects to RPi, sends the user/pwd via WiFi, the server verifies if all is OK and then unlocks the door.

Then started expand the tech. Get new users to be added by an Admin user (so roles were implemented). Used as DB SQLite in RPi. Wrote my own protocol on top of crypto libraries so communication is secured with a 4096 RSA key over WiFi. Then one day a little accident happened - my daughter had problems with her stomach and the door could not open fast enough for her to go to toilet, so a little soiled pants came out of that event :).
That prompted me to start expanding even more and invest in a little LoRa PCB attached to RPi so the communication now can happen from distance instead of just few meters from the door.

Then I wanted to expand the usefulness of RPi. So when we go to vacation a little pump is pumping a predefined liters of water on our flower pots. And to make sure those do not actually get too little or too much I hooked also a number of webcams on RPi to watch them. And since I was at this step and I wanted to flex my muscle in computer vision so another camera is on our front door and automatically will try to recognize people going through its field of vision. This last step is still refined. So this is where I am with this project. Still in development, pretty sure I'll have more ideas in the future I'll attach to that RPi.

That’s because you get ~2.1v out of a single charged lead acid cell, and an old tractor battery contains three. Your car battery has six.

So the real answer to “why” is because of the electrochemistry of lead.

mpd is a great choice, there are lots of things built around it. Essentially, you'd have the GPIOs trigger mpc commands. mpc talks MPD over the network back to the mpd server, so you could have physical controls all around the place.

There are lots of examples online of people doing this sort of thing. There's a simple example at https://github.com/pablodo/mpd_gpio/blob/master/main.py

> What makes you think windows is in a death spiral? They still have a good 75% market share and while that fluctuates, it doesn't seem to really drastically decrease.

Of what? Most of what I see normal consumers doing is in Android, typically on ARM. I think my observations are a little biased, but not a lot. According to statcounter:

Android 41.56%

Windows 28.29%

iOS 17.29%

OS X 7%

Unknown 3.05%

Chrome OS 1.32%

Critically, it's no longer a monopoly; there's a lot less lock-in than there once was. Even Microsoft Office is gradually moving to the PWA model. Most servers and embedded systems I see run some variant of Linux as well. The market Microsoft has 75% share in seems to increasingly by a niche market within a much larger ecosystem. Microsoft seems to have pivoted, and as someone pointed out, no longer cares too much.

However, the Wintel monopoly is dead. If Intel is tied to Windows, they'll increasingly be swallowed alive. TSMC manufactures most of those ARM chips. There's no way a smaller player can keep up in fabs and manufacturing technology.

When asking these sorts of questions, and when talking to these models in general, we should remember that they've been fine-tuned to be servile and give answers that are likely to please humans (and with a big helping on censorship on top).

If we are serious about testing their sentience, we should really be talking to the raw models.
Poetic era of Six Dynasties (1619 bp)
I don't know why HN is so paranoid about this. Nothing about that feels gpt to me.
There is a profound disconnect between what makes sense to do as a rational, long-term thinking species and neoliberal free market ideology that we should not loose track off. Monoculture farming with fossile fuel based fertilizers, cancerous chemical pesticides across vast spaces of land using fresh water in excess with zero regard for the local ecological system in any way and shipping food across the world from poor to rich countries using cheap fossile fuel powered gigantic ships IS the most profitable way to make most of the food we eat, BUT that doesn't mean it also makes the most sense to do it this way.

There are things in this world we should do differently even if they are less profitable, if we forget this, we are already doomed for extinction.

It kinda made sense, even the modern diagram isn't so far off from the original.

It was a crude model built with the tools available at the time, I've seen it referenced in research articles and this professor says it was taught in universities so presumably it was.

> Indoor and especially vertical farming might be worthwhile in some edge cases but all the fancy Startup babble does conveniently ignore that you lose access to thousands of dollars worth of free services provided by nature: irrigation, fertility, pest control, sun light for crying out loud.

Fertilization is no longer a given, since we've been pretty darn successful at killing off all the bees and other pollinators with pesticides or by consolidating fields to such enormous sizes that the meager strips of greenery that remain at their borders cannot support insect life.

Same for pest control - ploughing kills a lot of the ground-based animals dealing with pests, and the lack of food plus pesticides killed a lot of insect and avian species that served as pest control.

Irrigation is no longer a given as well... yes, California has massive amounts of water right now, but the years before that were droughts, and that's a problem everywhere for the last decades or so. We managed to deplete groundwater reserves to a shocking degree, and wide swaths of land have dried out to a degree that the soil collapsed and compacted, leaving it permanently unable to accept and store prior water levels to be accessible for plants.

We've thoroughly fucked up the planet, so thoroughly that we don't have a choice left any more but to explore efficient and scalable ways of recreating nature.
