The higher the voltage, the less conductor but more insulator are needed.

Said another way: the conductor is rated for amps and doesn't care about volts, while the insulation is in volts.

In an urban environment, there are many opportunities to salvage. Industrial areas especially have good pickings.

Rural environments are limited by the lack of salvage opportunities.

You are correct, to the extent I investigated they is no hard evidence for _any_ vaccine working. Somehow things are manipulated to give the appearance of it being effective. Example: In the Pfizer COVID vaccine trials both placebo and vaccine groups fell ill at the same rate, however since the placebo group group showed more COVID positives in the PCR test ( a dubious test), they arrived at the 95% effectiveness rate. The way 95% was calculated is also a complete travesty of commonsense. At this point I'm not even sure if any data is real, or completely made up. If I recollect in flu vaccine trails they check for antibodies in the participants, not actual incidence of the flu.
The problem is that Booking.com/Expedia/etc can't be trusted to book a real reservation. You never know if they're overbooking a hotel (and indeed I've been bitten by this multiple times).

By booking with the actual hotel's web site, you at least know you have a room. If the price of that certainty is a little bit of extra UX friction (or making a phone call, which I'll soon be able to delegate to an AI anyway), that sounds just fine.

The greatest feature that telegram offers is cloud sync. Everybody knows the limitations E2EE comes with. There's no way you could have thousands of members in a group on Signal.

Along with that, the ability to manage device sessions and to login on multiple devices with full chat sync is extremely unique to Telegram.

You're asking them to ditch that in favor of inferior UX, which they simply cannot do at this point.

But I do hear the valid complaints. I do believe they should improve MTProto 2.0 to work on multiple devices and in groups. Their implementation is fine for 1-1 chats but having something better than that is always welcome.
Back this up with some actual research, please. Otherwise, we're just telling old wives' tales.
Product Liability in the Farm Equipment Industry - https://youtu.be/NdN577BbnSY

It also has two case studies in it.

(late edit)

The main piece is that industrial and agricultural equipment falls into the category of strict liability. Going back up a few parent posts:

> >They're designing the products for maximum safety and performance

> How do you know this. Do you work for Jon Deere? Since the code is closed source that's simply an assumption

If you have a piece of equipment that is known to be dangerous (e.g. farm equipment like combines and such) then anything that is considered a defect or failure to warn about and prevent someone from using the equipment in an unsafe way the liability falls on the manufacturer - even if there is no proof of negligence in its design.

https://www.alllaw.com/articles/nolo/personal-injury/strict-...

> Strict liability, in contrast, does away with the analysis of whether the defendant's conduct met or fell below a certain standard. The thinking here is this: If it were necessary for a consumer to identify and illustrate the specific unsafe or unreasonable conduct that occurred at some point along the timeline of a product's journey to the marketplace—including design, manufacture, and distribution—these kinds of cases would be nearly unwinnable. Courts and state legislatures recognize this, so strict liability is established law in product defect cases.

> Simply because a plaintiff is required to prove less in a strict product liability case (compared with a negligence-based action) does not mean a defendant's liability is automatic. There are a number of ways a strict liability case can fail, or be successfully defended. The defendant might be able to show that:

> the plaintiff used the product in a way that he or she knew (or should have known) could lead to injury, or used the product despite knowing of the defect ("assumption of the risk")

> the plaintiff's own careless actions contributed to or were the only cause of the injury, including using the product in a manner for which it was not intended, or

> some other person or event interacted with the product to such an extent that the product was not the real cause of the injury.

---

So, here's the question that will be posed.

Does a farmer using 3rd party firmware on their JD tractor know that this could lead to injury?

Is using 3rd party firmware in a JD tractor careless?

Is a farmer updating the firmware of a tractor sufficient interaction with it that the JD tractor itself is not the real cause of injury?

If these questions are answered with "no" then JD is responsible and would be expected to take all reasonable actions to prevent those interactions.

There's _a lot_ of hype.

It's a good tool if you forget about any "intelligence" and just think of it as a tool. We don't expect search engines to be 'intelligent', we expect them to return results we are interested in, in an efficient manner.

In the case of this and similar tools, it is a text generator. It will generate _something_ based on your input. In many cases, it will make up stuff because it has to generate something. Note how it will not ask follow-up questions to 'understand' you (because it doesn't understand anything). You have to apply judgment and ask the follow up questions yourself.

One thing I found these tools to be useful is to mitigate the "blinking cursor on an empty document" paralysis. I just asked the "Pulumi AI" to generate some code that, while not really correct to my needs, is a good starting point for modification.

If you ask it to generate something from you, other than just a pre-made response that you could google, then it's more useful.
I have a Feedbin account to sync RSS between my devices. I use NetNewsWire to view those RSS feeds.

Finally, I have a personal libreddit instance that I use to browse the "front page" of Reddit (without an account) to see if there's any news that I might have missed.

Imgur provided both options.

You could do it via an account, in which case you could easily manage your images after the fact.

Most people who try to make a living playing soccer don't pay the bills, but the top 1% of players make a lot of money. There are a lot of people who play soccer casually at the weekend and don't make money too.

Most people who try to make a living programming computers pay the bills, and the top 1% of programmers make a lot of money. There are a lot of people 'kind of' learning a bit of python at the weekend sometimes who will never be professional programmers.

Which of these is streaming like? You only need 1000 subscribers paying £10 a month to make £100K, and that is hard but not impossible to achieve. If you are reasonably smart, learn a bit about the industry, and work at it full time - it should be possible to get that many subscribers over a year or two. Right?

So are youtubers more like programmers than soccer players?
There's no actual reason why Fukushima should have been evacuated (beyond flooding, electricity loss, etc. caused by the tsunami, of course).

There's actually no documentation I've ever seen of this so I'm not sure why you're saying it's "well documented".
I think you're talking about common modifications that the booking website understands how to make via the hotel's API. The GP, meanwhile, is talking about completely arbitrary stuff that is not part of any booking services's data schema for "modifiable properties of a booking"—and also, where the hotel likely doesn't actually have an API, because it's just some family-run thing, and the booking website is maybe just sending the hotel a fax to book for you.

In the boutique + arbitrary case, what you want is to talk to a real person, explain your issue, and get some kind of free-text note added to your booking in a way that staff will actually follow the instructions in it. You also want this to potentially increase the cost of your stay (rather than your request being denied on the basis that such a modification would increase the cost of your stay.)

If you book through a booking website, and then you speak to the booking agent to make such a modification, they will have no ability to add the note to your booking in the hotel's computer in such a way that the staff will take it seriously; nor even, necessarily, the ability to confirm that that modification is something that the hotel can do for you. (They can call the hotel... but they're just as likely to be brushed off as you are.)

If you book through a booking website, and then you speak to the hotel, they will tell you that they can't help you, because they want to charge you more, but they don't have the ability to charge you anything, since they're not billing you; they're billing the booking agency. And the booking agency itself has no way for a hotel to add an SKU for this kind of customization. (If it did, it'd be abused by unscrupulous hotels.) They'll then tell you that they can fix your problem if they cancel your agency booking and then re-book it through the hotel itself... but in so doing, you might not be able to keep your reservation.

If you book through the hotel, you can just speak with the hotel, and enter into whatever private direct customer-to-business deals you like with them to negotiate whatever kind of special service you want from them.

This is what's been holding me back from PCB design. Like, I know the math, but there's forces at play beyond just V1/R1=V2 kinda stuff. I'm really keen to see if an LLM can assist a hobbyist in making sound, quality, designs that aren't going to break his/her wallet when the sheet comes in and none of it works.

About 12 years ago I designed an RF addon board for an RC car (to toggle lights). Even something as simple as switching with NPN transistors looks good on the bench software but when the chips came it didn't work at all. Did I mistakenly ask for PNP? Ugh! I used fritzing at first (still great software) and then upgraded to Eagle. I want to do something beyond Raspberry Pi/Arduino work but not quite ready to design my own radio/motherboard. I know electricity but I don't know why I would need a capacitor/resistor/transformer other than the very basics.

What resources would you recommend since you love to teach PCB design?

> The whole mantra of avoiding "premature optimizations" was applicable in an era when "optimizations" meant rewriting C code in assembly.

Well, these days the equivalent to that seems to be rewriting {{ $HIGHER_LEVEL_LANGUAGE }} code in Rust.

I would still be conscious of "premature optimizations" and wouldn't rewrite all the things in Rust (or something else) before profiling my existing code.
All of the examples you mentioned involved irrelevant search results (as in, I have never met a soul who wants spam & scams), whereas GP is implying he wants relevant ones.

To flip your example, if I wanted to search for "Barack Obama Anti-Christ," I'd want to get those results back, and not have DDG or whatever other authority decide categorically that I shouldn't see them.

"Editorial guidance" is a wide spectrum from favoring what the editor thinks is most relevant for the reader to the editor actively censoring content the reader wants to see for external reasons. To be charitable, I read GP as objecting to the latter and not the former.

Ah, yes. This is a real issue.

Breathing in non-toxic particles can be bad for you due to the effects of mechanical injury. The classic example is asbestos, completely non-toxic, but the result of how your body attempts to repair damaged cells in your lungs can cause an increased chance of cancer.

Clicking both mouse buttons on Minesweeper to reveal all the squares around a square doesn't work for me (Firefox on Linux).

And? The greatest achievements humanity has ever completed are almost universally vanity projects. Nobody needs a Pyramid of Giza, or a Statue of Liberty, or to irrigate the desert using a massive dam.

No one needs to go to space, or probe the workings of the cosmos. Hell, 99.99% of all software ever developed is utterly pointless, yet it employs every last person on this site. Humanity does stuff because we think we can do cooler stuff than the people who came before us. And that's a perfectly noble goal, unto itself.

No, it's about the limitations of optimizing individual parts of a program. A corollary would be the futility of optimizing non-hotspots if you want any significant gain.

If your code spends 80% of its time in a given function you can't speed up the overall task by more than 500% by optimizing that function alone. If it spends 1% of its time in a given function then you can't speed it up by more than 1.1% by optimizing that function.
This looks like a fun thing!

The point I was making is that a trip to disk is generally not occurring, and that having a soup of pointers in RAM isn't as bad having badly laid out memory on disk that needs to be paged in. Most performance being lost, isn't from memory layout patterns and not getting full pages. It's not even that much from bad branch prediction. Most of the bad performance these days is the stacks of extra app layers that exists for little benefit.
Ask HN: What is the best way to automate a Windows desktop application in 2023?
I'm looking for tools, strategies, libraries, etc. that would be useful for automating arbitrary desktop applications. Ideally something free and open source. Robot Framework (https://robotframework.org/) looks promising, although the docs seem deliberately unclear about how useable the open source libraries are without the cloud SaaS being sold on top.

Does anyone have experience in this area? What's your secret sauce for robust desktop automations?
From my perspective, it’s not clear why you would want to use bulk summarisation of all context versus summarisation over “relevant” vectors, since it is both substantially more expensive and less effective, since you are effectively polluting the context window with “irrelevant” context. And the problem is compounded as you scale up - even as you scale up trivially.

Admittedly I’m hand-waving a bit around “relevant” and “irrelevant” - clearly your vector search setup has to be fit for purpose. That’s a talent all on its own, so I wonder if we will see competing approaches at the vectorstore level or if it’s relatively settled. Anyway, I’m out of my depth at that point so I’ll leave it there.
Open source code can still have local secrets.

You're a single employer. Anecdotes aren't data.

Any company that cares even a little about its users and customers cares more about security than letting its local code directories hit a cloud that warns you not to do it.

So far your counterpoints are: 1) some code isn't secret, and 2) I do it. If I'm wrong, you'd have better points than that.

You're essentially saying you don't care if your family uses seatbelts, so seatbelts aren't necessary. Not everyone runs a clownshoes security operation.

> It's not even a shell protocol if you think about it!

Nor is SSH. Feel free to take a read over the RFCs. There's next to no 'sh' in SSH as a protocol. What mosh adds to SSH is the ability to securely resume a session. SSH is fundamentally protocol for setting up a secure connection and then ping-pong messages back and forth.

tmux runs locally. It's not a network daemon. The complexion of a daemon and protocol meant to operate over a network is very, very different from one intended to run over Unix domain sockets or on the loopback interface.
