My power utility in the Bay Area powers residential customers 100% on renewable energy. Commercial and industrial do have fossil fuels still.

> maintain a duplicate fossil fuel backup system (fully maintained, staffed, and fueled) for those cold windless nights (so no longer cheaper)

Guess what, this is needed even in a world that only fossil fuels are used. Energy demand is variable and we need peaker plants on standby.

> deploy a storage system that can effectively time shift energy created by solar and wind across entire seasons (also not cheaper nor demonstrated with current battery technology)

We already need some storage in the current grid until said peaker plants come online. Maybe it's not 'cheaper' but it's been demonstrated. California alone has 2239MW of stored power at the moment I'm writing this (check the California ISO).

I'm not entirely sure you are familiar with how power grids work.

Every one of the "for your convenience" changes in the GUI for W11 have been things which the principal user I support does not find convenient. This mirrors her experience with the W7 to W10 transition, and the W98 to W7 transition. Each increment imposes burdens in assumptive "for your convenience" which are not convenient, and not "for you" either.

Moving her to Outlook reduced some of this: the prior mail GUI were really nice but were moving targets. Outlook has enough critical mass of "if you fuck this up then you lose the entire government contract" risk it isn't broken yet. But O365 keeps peeking round the door: A site admin for me, in work contexts warned us all the next revision is a major GUI spin and we might want to check the 'revert to old look-and-feel' box for a while yet.

They learn, but they also never learn: "for your convenience" is not a message which sparks joy.

I live in OSX. I haven't yet had a "for your convenience" which was a disaster although SIP did ruin my day with alternative desktop managers.

I used to live in Xorg and X11 on BSD, and before that in the various X11 and Sunview worlds. I never had a "for your convenience" risk there. I kind of miss that.

Ignoring what I want and feel about this (and what the user wants and feels) the precheck "your PC is certified for W12" and the new world of "I have this ready for you" is actually pretty smart. I don't fault their overall engineering, they actually write amazing code. But somehow the socialised message around it, and the support experience, is a bit more mixed.

Microsoft Defender is great. I never understood why they let the grey market of virus scanners happen. Sure, the risk in being their own policeman, but MS defender has never let me down and every one of the 3rd party addons has, at some point. I even hear good things about their browser smarts. Their network stacks are pretty solid. They do V6. Lots to admire, in the tech.

There were once non-pacifist Anabaptist sects as well as pacifist ones. The latter are still with us, but the former stopped existing centuries ago.
Why is this remarkable? The material isn't the expensive part in the manufacturing of a single-part tool like this. I'm not even sure this will be cheaper than a snap-on brand equivalent, design labor aside.
Yes, but they could've just blacklisted or downranked it based on already existing rules about fake news. But they instead went ahead and basically created a rule for Russian content specifically.

I don't even doubt DDGs intentions, but that's the thing... in most cases, people who want to suppress or filter out speech/news/etc usually have good intentions because as you said they genuinely think it is harmful content. That's the whole issue! And it's why it's usually such a thorny debate.
It's worth noting that the ancient Greeks usually watered their wine (and indeed frowned upon those barbarians like the Macedonians who drank it unadulterated). I've always thought this line was more about how some water you could see through (to the bottom perhaps) and some you could not - unwatered wine is opaque, and the open sea hides what's below (and indeed beyond).
The question being answered was "What’s to stop the new manufacturer from implementing a similar policy once the farmers are locked in with an expensive purchase?". You can tell that because the question was immediately above the reply.

That is in the context of a business starting to sell farm equipment that can be repaired. Threads, go figure.
We are far away from eliminating all CO2 emissions and GHGs are emitted from far more than EVs. Factories, commercial facilities, agricultural, all emit a lot of CO2. Not accounting GHGs at this point is just pretending those emissions don't exist.

McMurdo station in freakin Antarctica uses wind turbines. They run just fine in the cold. Texas utilities just didn't want to pay for proper weather proofing.

It's actually pretty cool - it's very flexible and convenient.

It's difficult to solder and impossible to crimp though (so we use these factory-made), and I would not use PoE with it (the gauge - 32AWG - also means that it is really thin, and as it's steel, the resistance must be terrible. But for data, it works good.)
WTF does NIST need with $11B for fab work? Seems like empire-building without actual customers or purpose, at the expense of mere billions. DeAnza College in Cupertino, CA had ~$180M of fab-like gear and equipment donated that largely went idle and became obsolete. Large piles of money and "build it, they will come" aren't effective uses of said money when it comes to meeting actual needs.
I don’t have one but this made me think of something that might be in a similar ballpark.

I play guitar and write songs. I use my computer to help with this. Over the years, I’ve had:

* a little amp with a microphone that connects to my audio interface

* 1 watt tube amp built for recording, made by the same company that makes my incredible 120 watt monster amp for live performance, plugs straight into my audio interface for silent recording

* a high end digital amp used by pros for live and recording, I can use it AS the interface but it’s bigger than the hardware that lives on my desk

I still go back to the software amp simulation, a plugin running in the recording software I use for composition, because it’s quicker and easier to plug the guitar straight into audio interface and go. It doesn’t sound as good as my Fractal FM9 but it’s still great, it makes me happy, and it demands less time/space/effort than all the others. Unless I’m pursuing something that I can only get from the “bigger and better solutions,” convenience always wins.

VR strikes me as being in a similar place. Yes, it has a unique value. No, nothing is like it. But… my PS5 through my 4K TV and home theater is extremely sick AND I can just pickup a controller and go!
Visual fidelity. Today's top-tier HMDs produce garbage visuals, relative to top-tier gaming consoles.
Overlooking all the bugs, the biggest problem with Windows 11 is there is no way to have small task bar icons like every other previous version of windows. Somehow they think that grouping all your file explorers together in an icon, so you have to perform 3-4 clicks to open what you want, is easier than just clicking on the title. I switched back to Windows 10 yesterday and hope to see further progress on Linux GUIs and games so I can safely make that switch.
Apologies if I missed examples, how about interactive tooltip and interactive legend support? I'm sure it's doable since so many libs based on d3 do it.

Oh wow lol. I know we've gotten into discussions (probably some debates) on HN before. Never connected your name to that channel. I'm apparently subscribed and have seen 5 of your videos so far. All really fantastic videos. I apparently missed the Mario Galaxy 2 video, so there goes the next hour of my evening.

Anal sex is quite normalized these days, and people will look at you like you have two heads if you say it is dangerous, but the fact of the matter is that it is not a sex organ and is not intended to be used as such. The rates of incontinence for anal sex recipients are very high

That's really interesting to consider.

The Amish certainly set a bar that few besides Richard Stallman can match.

However, I do feel strongly that people I know are pretty deliberate about bringing each new piece of technology into their lives. This is true for folks in the industry, "tech enthusiasts" outside the industry, and relative luddites.

I think that after the tech explosion(s) of the 90s and 2000s folks are keenly aware that each new piece of tech represents a burden of some sort: recurring time and/or money costs.

This might not be the kind of deeply principled attitude displayed by the Amish (or RMS) but I do think people are pretty thoughtful and skeptical about new tech.

Ironically some of the exceptions I've seen are within the tech industry itself. Engineers who ought to know better are quick to embrace things that seem like obvious lock-in traps.
I care if it's written to be better and cheaper to maintain. I don't care about a new Javascript, Rust, or (latest religion) framework, this or that, unless the approach is better than what came before and it's part of sound governance. Code should not be religious, it should be functional and focused on its purpose.

I’m wondering what PDDL is for, in practical terms.

Planning, yes, but that’s a verb that casts a very wide net.

When might one write PDDL? Be it specific tasks, or industries it is used in - the examples I’ve found online all have a robotic theme, yet the idea seems much more general.

What do they do with it once they’ve written it?

What does it solve (as opposed to just having the existence of a file that outlines objects, predicates, actions etc)?
Sorry but I don't understand how does the first sentence in your post relates to the second one.

To me it reads like you didn't know the local language but they're the illiterate ones for not knowing your language? Or did I completely misunderstood your story?
I think it's not having enough money to meet current lifestyle expectations. It's technically possible to raise a family of nine in a two-bedroom dwelling with three beds, and one of my great-grandparents grew up in such a household, but to live like that today would be considered child abuse.

People prefer to view this as a lack of money due to increasing cost of living or stagnant wages because those are more comfortable to talk about, but an increasing standard of living raises the awkward question of whether it's even a good thing to have more (or any) kids.
We got an occulus for the kids. Set up its own family facebook account (not a supported approach: somehow they want there to be a single user of the device???). Eventually the device lost its login info and it hasn't been worth the hassle to get it logged back in. Sits unused in the cabinet. When it was 'working' about 50% of the time it wouldn't be charged when you want it. And then its clunky to wear. We set up screencasting so friends in the room could share in the experience (otherwise it would have been completely antisocial and unfun except alone) but that is also clunky and a pain. The sheer hassle of these things is just a killer for its viability.

I believe their moat is that they have early access to OpenAIs newer models as they come out so they are always a bit ahead. Combined with some big partnerships they have already landed perhaps, which could yield highly valuable proprietary datasets to train v2 of whatever they are doing.
I often advocate for the use of Rust, but it's not the right tool for every job. If one of these conditions is met, I'll happily use Rust:

- Cannot have garbage collection
- Need the raw speed of C
- Need to provide a C interface
- Already have a lot of Rust code in the project

Having said that, I very much prefer statically typed languages, and ones with a focus on correctness and safety. Rust and Haskell both fit that bill very well.
So to sum up, Tocqueville was a racist, Churchill was awful, LBJ was a ghoul, and Stalin was the bees knees. Got it.
I think that people in general don't read "enough", or maybe can't "enough." By that I mean, recommendations based on other people's reading habits aren't going to be as fine tuned as say, recommendations based on people's music listening habits.

There's dozens of mobile providers. What kind of "bs" are they pulling that you'd want to boycott them all? I had several in the US, and all the smaller ones (MVNOs) were fine: they did exactly what they claimed as far as billing and level of service. The only reason I left any of them was because I found better network coverage, or moved. I honestly don't understand why you'd want to support a company that treats you poorly when you have SO many alternatives.
The US is a huge country with no restriction on internal migration. Location probably isn't as large a problem as the difference in required skills.
There are projects in Clojure to decompile Clojure-derived Java bytecode to Clojure. It works pretty well overall since Clojure's compiler isn't too fancy.

Whenever something becomes a status symbol there will be people willing to exploit it. Perhaps ArXiv should hire some volunteers to check for a minimum of quality before acceptance? (/s, in case it's not clear).

Anecdotally, the second worst paper I've ever read was hosted on ArXiv and presented in an NLP group as a possible breakthrough. Tearing it apart in front of the person presenting it was no fun.

Do you have any specific one in mind? Because while it's nice to blame Google, my experience has been quite different.

I just tried the last two boutique hotels I stayed at. For one in Tel Aviv the Google and Brave results were exactly the same. First was the hotels' own website, second was tripadvisor, third was booking.com.

The other in Buenos Aires, Google had the same order (hotel, then trip, then booking), Brave did not. Brave showed booking.com, then hotel website, then tripadvisor.
One of the things I wonder about is the microplastic fibers ending up in our lungs.

Sure, medical professionals have been wearing them for years. But they haven't been reusing the same mask for days, crumpled up in pockets and disintegrated to the point of getting fluffy.

I wonder what that will do for long-term health effects. But I guess at that time there was no time to factor that in as any results of long term research would have come after the pandemic anyway.
Part of my point is that if we all lived like the Amish, we wouldn't have a modern military.

I'm doubtful copilot increases productivity by 55% after using it, it saves a lot of typing on easy code but typing speed is never the bottleneck. Unless they have a bunch of positions doing stuff that doesn't require any thinking, which is possible considering they apparently hired hundreds of thousands of people they didn't need.
The desktop OEMs lament their inability to differentiate their hardware offerings.

2. an interface to use LLMs, with RLHF
