> I hope you don't use that stove to cook, because if you do, you are putting hundreds of times more harmful particulates into the air than the stove puts out alone.

Really depends on how you cook. If you're not frying, this isn't really a problem.

> This is the same kind of "green"-feeling hypocrisy as the plastic bag bans. After Australia banned plastic bags, they found an increased amount of plastic in their landfills.

But a big part of this was to reduce plastic litter. Plastic in landfill isn't really a problem (oil being dug from the ground being put back into the ground). But putting a (small) price on plastics makes people a little less careless with them.
I also _rent_. I hate food cooked on electric stoves, so when I was looking to rent, anything that dint have gas stove was automatic non-starter for me.

This whole argument that “you oppose a forced choice so you must hate poor people” is just a straw-man. Just because you prefer things one way doesn’t mean govt has a business telling me how I should cook my food.

I agree; I just wondered if you’d found good ways to help developers understand that since it sounds like you’ve been able to augment multiple code bases that way. I was thinking a good first place to start, etc. If that’s your answer, though, to just show them that it’s all already there to help them flip their perspective on Rails, I like the approach. Certainly easy to communicate once you’ve done it a few times, as Eileen shows.

The "sources", who know the information is confidential, spill the beans and expect their identity to remain...confidential. In other words, they want others to treat them with the respect they presumably agreed to have for the information they willingly disclosed. Remarkable.

The case of someone reporting criminal activity is very different. In that case you want people to come forward with information and they must be protected. BTW, the Wikipedia page on whistleblowers is interesting:

My experience is in psychiatry and behavioral health, where this issue becomes particularly acute. So much of this field depends on notes and reports — it's not that there aren't test results and so forth but so much of it depends on behavioral observations and the content of what clients and their loved ones and others are saying.

The fundamental issue is one of audience. You always have an audience in any writing, and with healthcare notes this is especially true. The problem arises when you try to deny this, and in the process make everyone your audience, as what writing you need for one reader is very different from the writing you need for another reader.

In psychiatry this is especially problematic because you're essentially always trying to maintain rapport and a relationship with a client, and there are times when the most tactful and therapeutic thing to do is to withhold information at a moment, or even more often, present that information in a very specific way. The way you communicate with a patient is part of your job. You wouldn't behave toward a colleague in the same way you would a patient, but that's essentially what you're asked to do with open notes.

I can imagine the criticisms this might invite — that what I'm saying is an example of how patronizing psychiatry can be at times — but I think there's no way around this. I highly doubt you want your therapist talking to you like you like they would a close friend or colleague, for example, and no professional therapist would do that.

Open notes are this sort of weird wormhole through the provider-patient relationship boundaries that typically exist, and in my experience they just lead to this odd coded language in notes, or pushing discussions offline into verbal discussions between colleagues, or something.

I do think patient records should be available to them, but I agree with others that it might be better to have certain levels of firewall for different types of notes. Some a patient might get immediately; others they might have to make a request for, or something.

It's a difficult needle to thread, but I'm not sure radical record transparency always everywhere is quite optimal.

They said New York State, not City. Pick a random town w/ 20k-30k people and you'll see rents as low as $1000. Newburgh is a random example I chose. So there's no reason to think their comments requires them to be more or less wealthy, poor or not poor.

Or maybe they've been poor, and now they're not, so they're speaking from prior experience. Or they have friends or family or acquaintances that are poor. It's not like a wealthy person can't have contact with folks less wealthy.

> Plus electric goes out often. Gas doesn’t.

Most gas appliances also require electricity to run, and in addition the broader gas infrastructure itself requires electricity to compress the gas so that it reaches the consumer. There's no getting around the need for reliable electric infrastructure; centralized gas infrastructure won't save you from unreliable electricity.

I’m with you.

But you have to admit there’s quite a bit of fluff in so many videos just to extend the time and try to keep eyeballs long enough to mention the sponsor or show ads.

I am not representative of the wider YT audience, but when I want information, I’m not interested in the fluff. Get to the point. It’s as bad as those recipe sites we’ve all complained about. Most of the information I seek could have been a short 4-bullet text list.

Entertainment is different. But I must indeed be entertained. If you (not you specifically - creators in general) can’t begin to pull me in and promise a payoff (that you must deliver on), I’m moving on. Several YT channels that I subscribe can only be done via video. And I enjoy the content. I do get annoyed at the chosen timestamp for the inserted ads, but not enough to stop watching.

If you have good, succinct, informative content; or actually entertaining (as opposed to manufactured drama) content, use YT to pull me to your other content hosted elsewhere and I can contribute actual money.

The sad reality of the wider audience is that we’ve become accustomed to “free” with unavoidable ads (like broadcast TV.) Then when a technology comes along to avoid the obnoxious, irrelevant ads, we use it. This wider audience isn’t thinking about creators. If they think of anything besides their own gratification, it’s about screwing Big Corporate YouTube.

How do we solve that? I think it’s a symptom of a larger societal issue.
I am guessing it would be very hard to do this on a dynamic language.
As someone who subscribes to a whole host of youtubers big and small, I wholeheartedly agree with this. It really annoys me to see people act as if they are entitled to free content, especially from independent creators who depend on the revenue to fund making content.
Also, contemporary induction stoves don't actually get "hot", at least for a stove top. They do have quite a lot of electricity flowing, however, so shorts etc. could potentially be bad. They seem rather unlikely, however.

Agreed that 1% of the United States' 28% of global CO2 emissions is negligible in the grand global scheme.

Additionally, the energy cost of creating new stoves with significantly more complex internals (both due to the constant march of technology and the relative complexity of electric or induction cooktops versus gas) can't be overnighted.

To make the climate argument, while it’s true that methane is being used to generate electricity, and there are losses that come from transmitting electricity, switching to electricity overall reduces the amount of greenhouse gasses emitted into the atmosphere. Because methane is 80 times more potent than CO2 as a greenhouse gas, even small leaks of methane have an outsized impact. When methane leak rates exceed 2.7% of the amount burned [1], it has worse warming impacts than burning coal. Having a network of pipes going to individual residences will introduce many joints and fittings, all of which leak. Even behind the meter residences leak up to 1.3 % of what they burn [2]. Even if you were to burn methane to generate electricity, even if there are efficiency losses to generation and transmission, it’s better to send that methane to one destination to be burned, than to thousands just to prevent the potential for it to leak out into the atmosphere.

That implies that the code cretins would actually make a carve out for it. If I go to the trouble of jumping through all the state / county / local building code applications, I’m just going to build a 20kw capacity 48v solar array with a dual inverter that supports 240v and have the power company (government monopoly) as backup / battery top-up.

My point is, that this is really unnecessary. Shoehorning the general public into electrification isn’t the answer here. And it goes far beyond just my small needs as a residential subscriber. Commercial breweries, restauranteurs, and everything in-between, use gas because it is far more efficient, cheaper, and suitable for their individual applications.

Choice, is the essential thing here. Let the market sort it out. If the market can make a compelling argument for electrification, that’s the way people will go. But for now, I’m unconvinced.

(btw — I lived in Berkeley for years, and houses that were gas grandfathered were especially sought after. Government diktats just create perverse incentives.)
I could do that but I don't want to lose full compatibility granted by official ROM. I'm really happy with the stock one and want to just use my phone without screwing it up. So installing termux is pretty much the non-invasive option compared to a ROM switch.
Show HN: Semantic Search on Wikipedia
This is a semantic search engine that understands the meaning of words and can return results that match the user's intent, even if the words used in the search query are not an exact match for the text in the articles.

To achieve this, we used Cohere's 100M embeddings on Wikipedia, which allowed us to map each article to a high-dimensional vector space [786] where similar articles are cosine close to each other.

We then built a simple web app that allows users to search for articles using natural language queries and returns the top results, along with a 2D visualization of the articles using UMAP.

>Profiling is inherently probabilistic

And with enough samples we can learn what code paths are being taken. You can have your dead code bot look at the number of samples that have been collected to know if it should be enabled for something. For example if you have 6 mounths worth of samples of a piece of software running on 10k machines you will get a good idea on what code isn't being used.

>Anything that inspects the runtime (dynamic) behavior of code isn't good enough for a code deletion tool.

I disagree since the code that is being run is by definitions not dead code.

I don't understand what's being claimed here. Is Google at risk because they only have 43% of the US market?

Google's hardware income is negligible; it's Samsung who'd feel that impact. Google makes money from ads and APIs. Every American could use an iPhone exclusively, and they'd still be putting the same amount of money in Google's pockets every time they open Youtube, Gmail, browse the web or use Uber (uses GMaps API).

Ah the gold standard was about pegging the amount of money in circulation to the quantity of Gold 'in the world', roughly speaking.

Of course with a growing economy this makes no sense, as you need more money to facilitate this growing exchange of goods and services, and so the gold standard is inherently deflationary (see also Bitcoin).

(Fiat) Money of course is just a signalling mechanism, it is not 'real' - money supply / velocity / inflation are concepts for understanding the mechanism, not much politics or philosophy involved.

I find this very shocking NY allows that. I'm in CA and I've never seen a gas stove that didn't have a fume hood. In fact a lot of electric stoves here have fume hoods. I would assume we have a regulation about it here but I've never looked it up.

> something that will not happen in our lifetimes

Not sure where you’re coming up with this - the average modern gas stove is expected to last 13-15 years [1]. Obviously there are exceptions but we can expect 95%+ of this infra to be replaced in 20 years just due to equipment failure. Seems reasonable to expect that effectively all gas stoves in the US will be replaced at least once in the next 50 years.

> great political and personal cost

This assumes that installing new gas infra has no cost. It also ignores the long term health impacts (and costs) of burning natural gas indoors. Additionally, IRA subsidies partially cover the cost of stove replacement in the US. Upfront cost may be higher with induction today, but lifetime cost is lower due to the lower cost of electricity.

This frame also ignores the climate impacts, which I would argue have both significantly greater political and economic costs than not allowing gas infra in new buildings.

> What am I missing?

I agree that it is not viable to say “we must replace all gas infra today.” However, by allowing it to be built in new buildings, we’re locking ourselves into at least 15 years of additional CO2 production from this hardware at a time when we need to be reducing CO2 emissions as much as possible. CO2 not produced today is CO2 that we won’t have to draw down from the atmosphere in the future - something that also costs money. Not installing infra that produces CO2 is the easiest way to ensure we stop producing CO2

Beyond that - I’m not quite sure what your argument is. Is it just that 1% is too small to make a difference (or be regulated) - I’d ask you what is the cutoff at which it is viable for you? And what is the strategy for addressing emissions that don’t meet your cutoff?

This is a good idea in general… eventually all of this gas infrastructure will be incredibly expensive to maintain just to send energy when you could send that through wires.
