If we base our morality according to how we feel about something, then of course. How people feel about things change all the time. We can’t speak about a single source of truth in this case, there are infinite amount of moralities. But not everyone bases morality on how people (including themselves) feel.

I for one am enjoying 500 mbit service at my rural home for $30/month with T-Mobile 5g home internet.
Until 5G gets congested though. You wouldn't notice the difference between a uncongested LTE site with say 3CA, and a 5G site. The reason 5G feels good is that it isn't as congested (yet), unlike LTE.
It's a politico-technological arms race. Government makes laws, people make technology to circumvent those laws, government makes new laws, people make new technology. With every iteration, government must increase its tyranny to enjoy the same level of control it had before. Governments get worse and worse in a desperate attempt to hold on to their power. We'll either end up in a totalitarian state or with an uncontrollable population, whichever comes first. Who'll reach their limits first?

Brazilian government is already speaking of giving judges and politicians total power to censor things on the internet. They're speaking of "autonomous internet supervision entities". Yeah.

Not at all clear to me that we have the best attitude toward race now.
If we were to base our morality upon science, then you’re right. But not everyone does this.

I was a very early user of Dropbox but I’ve fallen out of love with the product over the years, and while I still have an account, I’ve avoided installing the clients for awhile now.

I’ve been migrating things over to Synology Drive hosted in my closet, and the UX for this is a lot like Dropbox (in a good way).

Combined with Tailscale, I get all of the convenience without the ick, and a hell of a lot more storage for that matter.
What makes you think geothermal is only from nuclear decay? The core is hot because of the forces the moon puts on it as well.
I was looking at a schema generator written in Go a while back, but I can't remember the name. It almost did everything I wanted except it didn't support SQLite (since no proper grammar exists for its peculiar variant of SQL).

What I'm looking for is something that can generate schemas for SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL and perhaps MS SQL Server that can be run from the command line (so I can use it from Make)
No, that's not really what has happened. If you ask a question, it tends to mean you lack knowledge about something, and therefore you don't have enough context to produce a question that perfectly teases out the correct answer from GPT. Instead what happens is that you have to carefully engage in conversation and iterate towards improving GPTs context and your understanding of what it is saying well enough to ask it more incisive questions or to correct obvious inconsistencies in what it has communicated.
I wonder if this is because of the NYC law that was passed prohibiting gas connections to buildings.

It says the swimming pool will be heated with geothermal energy. Would not that make the temperature cold? It would be better to use solar power to heat the pool.

Heat exchangers should be given a heavier role here. Heat emissions from the refrigerators plus air conditioners should heat the central water heater and boilers.
Our Subaru has a physical volume knob.

Its position is only a "gentle suggestion" to the software to move volume up or down.

At times, especially when starting the vehicle, there is major latency in the software processing the knob movement..

Also, if the knob is moved too fast, the sw gets the wrong reading.

This results in volume being way too high for serveral seconds as well as many other frustrating, dangerous situations.

UX in cars made in the 60s were better than this.

I don't think slapping on fake physical knobs onto laggy buggy software is a solution at all.

I'm sorry if my comment was unclear. The person whose laptops were confiscated by the police stated that his bitlocker encrypted windows pc was also cracked by the police.

My point was: They could have gotten the bitlocker recovery key, then found his password somewhere on the windows pc and used that to "crack" the LUKS encrypted partition.
Very nice

>Most of them are mechanical engineers not software people

Ah yes, the trillion dollar industry (that's been writing software in many forms for decades) just doesn't have people that understand software.

Meanwhile, you have the "software" people at, say, Tesla, who has the worst driving interface of all and the iPads were melting out of the dash in the summer time. But at least the latency was low!

> driveway deaths involving little children,

This leaves me with so many questions:

* Why is this not an (actively discussed) issue in the EU?

* Does this issue exist in other countries than the US?

* If the problem is real, is a camera the only, or even best solution?
We currently develop solutions in this area and I believe that isolated OCR is not the solution to go. Things are moving rapidly towards end-to-end processing of documents with huge transformer models and I also believe that multi-modal GPT models will quickly win all usecases.

I have a Dropbox account, since eternity, but used it very rarely. Until I decided to remove my desktop computer from my life, and live with my Office PC and a laptop.

Suddenly I have ripped myself out of a lot of stationary storage space, and access to a lot of files in the process. Moreover, this change was also compounded by lifestyle changes, which reduced my computer time at evenings a lot.

Then, I realized that I used these files a lot, and I needed them where I am, regardless of the device I have with me. After that, I understood what Dropbox is about. I have all my files, everywhere I need, anytime I need.

Moreover, many of the bookstores and merchants deliver things I buy directly into my Dropbox. That's great. Even updates to these items arrive automatically.

I backup the whole thing weekly via rclone to a disk, and I'm happy.
I found it not that bad. Was considering to get a third one (after moving the 2nd time), but didn’t as the previous two tops failed right after being out of warranty.

Key for me was to learn that to activate the knob, you needed to make sure to touch both metallic rings on the knob at once.

I overall preferred the UX over a pure touch based interface. We stored the knob by attaching it to the hood (the knob contains a magnet), so it was always at the same location.
I was on the fence about it since I share it with 2 people who wouldn't get a subscription otherwise due to technical reasons... but this is really shameless.
About 30 years ago, I met a vivacious German-Brazilian woman at a party who complained at length about how miserable it was visiting her relatives in Germany. This precise issue was her main complaint.
Absolutely true. But not everyone base their morality upon physical evidence or science.
I'm a big fan of IRC and have used it for many years, but one thing I notice about younger generation of techies is, they won't tolerate poor/low tech UI/UX. I see this in gaming all the time as well ... old classic games, esp. RPGs, dont get love because of the graphics and UX (keyboard controls).

> Why don’t they speak up to their employer who can then raise it with Google?

That's not how incentives are aligned. The employer is incentivized to provide Google a service at maximum value with minimum cost and inconvenience. When an employee at a contracting agency complains, the easiest solution to the problem is to take them off the contract.

When I said tip of the iceberg... Now consider how those incentives work when the issue is harassment.
That was during the German reformation, not secularization.
Wonder how much of that could you retrofit if software was customisable/hackable.

Mach-E famously have a scroll wheel that imitates touch-swipe to adjust volume.

FWIW I don't hate Tesla's touchscreen yet, but I dislike the fact you can't shut it off or disable all the stupid FSD animations there.
From what I understand geothermal itself refers to heat of the earth (crust) while geothermal energy refers to energy generated within the earth mainly but not exclusive, nuclear decay. Calling ground heat geothermal is therefore correct, calling it geothermal energy is not.

This is an excellent write up, only missing touching on the null safety issue. It's a pity there isn't more discussion about dart and flutter on HN, other than the usual dismissal of it.

I’m in Sydney and the 5G is pretty good. Definitely better than or at least similar to the terrible internet options Verizon and other providers ever had back in the US (ignoring FIOS if you’re lucky enough to get it.
Yeah, that was my though as well. If every building in Brooklyn tried to do this I'm not sure what would happen to the foundations of the buildings and I think the ground would just converge on some temperature that was just high enough to keep using the system but not that practical either.
Couldn’t agree more. And I think they may have misread the room on this anyway. The impression I get from (living in) the EU is that they would rather take the more ‘pro-consumer’ side, or at least be seen to. So ‘banned in the UK’ is a low bar.
In case it wasn't referenced before, there was this great article, last year, about this very thing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30140984

Hey Phil, glad you like it. I'm just being a cheapskate with the $7 JLCPCB charges for stencils. I keep making dumb mistakes on my PCBs, so I skip the stencil and assembly to save cost.
I try to not use the touchscreen while driving, but if I need to I will ensure to enable adaptive cruise control or FSD. Not perfect but helps. But we should have buttons for the most important functions at least. In terms of removing the screen, which some vendors seem to pride themselves with doesn’t seem like a good option. The larger screen is quite helpful when parking.

Lol, I associated it with a prison too.
I think you are mistaken, the original article in french states that the BitLocker computer was not cracked by the local police, but was accessed later by some cyber-department of the police: https://nantes.indymedia.org/posts/87395/une-lettre-divan-en....

5G has been great for me (UK), although I am fortunate enough to be close to a mast.

- at the time I moved to it, it gave higher speeds than fibre

- I have a 30-day rolling contract instead of a year-long one

- It's cheaper than fibre

- No data limits

- I can take it with me if I move

The only thing it's not great for is gaming.

While this may be novel in residential buildings in the U.S. there are a number of college campuses that have been going this route (providing a large number of buildings with heating/cooling/hot water via a centralized system that leverages heat pumps and the earth's thermal mass) for awhile. See for example: https://energynews.us/2022/02/07/colleges-see-untapped-poten...
I don't think that type of "modern Attention Span" is really criticized: If you do a 3 hour binge of tiktok, you could count that as a single span claiming your full attention, right? But nobody would say really that doing a 3 hour tiktok binge would make you a person with a great attention span.

I think the same applies to entertainment broadly: movies, podcasts, tv shows.

Instead I think that the real attention span is not consumer-based, but rather based on interaction with the subject matter. Simply put, I think the level of engagement with a material has to be on a certain level before you can claim it takes attention to consume it.

Yes, a Stranger Things season lasts 8 hours front-to-back, but if you zone out for an hour in between they're still looking for the alien mystery and they're not suddenly going to die because you didn't think along with all the plotpoints.

Contrast that with a university lecture, where if you zone out for 15 minutes you might never catch back up because you need to interact with the material in your head to be able to consume it properly.

I think that nuance is missing if you just say the words "attention span". "Attention" may just be the wrong word, and so I think nothing is really solidly refuted here, and I do indeed think that the attention span is dead.
I know it's far from perfect. But there has got to be an answer for it. Because everyone running their own WAP is a massive duplication of resources, it's literally a waste of power citywide, every's got a separate ISP bill, and it's clogging the airwaves, making everyone's reception quite lousy in the process.

Multi-family apartments have communal services on purpose. We have a central A/C chiller. We have communal laundry rooms, not machines in every unit. Our hot water heating is done centrally. We have maintenance men on staff for repairs. Subcontractors serve the entire property through deals with the landlord, not individual units.

I get that people like to customize and trick out their own networks, but we're a community of sysadmins. My neighbors are not, and I'd bet you that misconfiguration is the norm for personally-managed networks. There is a better case for single-family homes doing it, but apartment dwellers should not be running their own ISPs.
>Welp, time to get the T-shirts made. "Mastodon : Doomed Since 2016. No seriously, it's doomed."

It will be an absolute hit with the five people who still use it in a decade.

Seriously, this dialogue reads like this to me:

-Hey, Mastodon has a severe flaw by design where your identity is owned by the server and not you, which kind of defeats the point of federation

-Why do you hate federated networks so much?! You just don't get it. Go away, we'll be better off without you anyway.
This is probably better done via a different app.

Supporting the economic growth needs a country to produce and people to consume (= “buy new”, not “use existing”). When you’re stating you’ve got enough power and possibilities with the state of the art to be happy, you’re restraining your country GDP. Would you favor your own happiness instead of economic growth ? :)
I'd say those are different concepts, contentedness as opposed to euphoria.

As an aside, deep sea oil drilling and production platforms are incredible put-a-man-on-the-moon engineering feats. If oil weren't politically unpopular, the engineering behind these would be celebrated and admired.
I don't follow your argument.

On the one hand you say that because we paid relatively more than poorer countries, this attracted a lot of people to work here. This is apparently "economic imperialism".

Then you say that if we want more people to come and work here, we should pay even better than we were?

>> Statistically, it is much more likely for an Arab or Black to be a criminal in a western society.

You are right and completely wrong also. Crime in America is literally defined to be when colored people do it, so obviously.

If a colored person does something bad, it is terrorism. When white people do something bad it is a "deeply disturbed individual who needs mental help"

In America, when something blows up, people ask "is it terrorism?" They mean -- did a brown person do it (in which case it is), or did a white person do it (in which case people try to understand the person's mentality and make excuses for it.)

In America, white terrorism is literally erased from history. Who remembers the white man who firebombed two 4/5 train cars in NYC in 1995 with kerosene tanks? No one.
Of course, if were to base our morality upon changing things like science or how society feels about something, then our morality should always change, because both of those change all the time. But not everyone does this.

> Eg, I'm pretty sure Bill Gates or Elon Musk don't buy the newest, latest phone that comes out every single time. Because at some point you find something that works well enough, and just thinking of using something else involves effort. Even if V2 is theoretically faster or has more RAM, maybe you have no need for that yet.

I don't think you have to look to billionaires for that - surely for the majority of HN users what we spend and how often we spend it on a phone isn't limited by what we can afford?

I've been using the same ~£150 phone for I think 4-5 years - I could have afforded however many top-spec iPhones or Pixels or whatever came out in that time, but I don't play games on my phone or do anything intensive that requires it, I just need to be able to message people and browse the web basically.

You don't modify the entire 64 bytes at the same time. That's why you fill it with atomic variables that you can modify _without_ locking.

You need the array to contain structures that fill the cache line to avoid invalidation when two cores write/read structures close to each other.

When two cores write/read to/from the same atomic variable in the same structure you of course need to know what the consequences will be, but most of the time it will only result on gliches and not crashes... say if the position of a player is updated by the physics and incoming network at the same time and read by the render core... the player will glitch to some location that might be wrong for the other writing core so you have to make sure that is handled to not behave in a non playable way, but performance on the CPU is the _only_ bottleneck we will ever have and we're already there.

You could also look at Javas concurrency package. It's mostly atomic.
I think this would go that way naturally with less glorificafion.

People want to manipulate classical art because it is set as some summum of art that we should always look up to.

Leaving past art in its original form probably goes through accepting it's frozen in the past and interpreting it in context, and not as "intemporal" pieces.

You said "I don't mind the alternative moralist edits".

I do mind, and my point is that basically every creative would also mind having their work subjected to "alternative moralist edits", especially without their consent and/or after their death.

That's not the same thing as George Lucas adding random CG crap; false equivalence.

If I understand what you're saying, it's that as long as the original is available it's fine, if annoying, for publishers to re-edit and profit from bastardized, censored, altered versions of creators work.

That's why I ask if you're a creator - because no creator, ever, anywhere, at any time, has expressed a preference - or even a tolerance - for having their work fucked with like this.

i'm dropping my subaru for this among other reasons.

1. throttle response, move your foot to 20% and experience between no throttle and wide open as the 'turbos' kick in in my outback

2. every time we get near an intersection with bollards, it thinks it's a kid and slams on the brakes

3. you're not allowed to persist auto start disabling

4. you will be nagged for looking anywhere other than dead straight, especially if looking around a curve, you'll get beeped at

5. sometimes when driving the main 'touchscreen' just dies, takes about 5 minutes to reboot, and the entire time i have no climate or audio control, luckily the adaptive cruise control seems to stay working, you just can't reenable it...
