It's really very sad to me that the HN community would rather have a flamewar about Melon Usk's emerald mine inheritance and whether that was or was not a significant advantage, than this very real crisis unfolding before our eyes.

Millions of people stand to face wet bulb temperatures which are not survivable for humans outside of air conditioned boxes as early as the coming months, and electricity will fail under the strain the grid will face in these conditions. Instead we focus on the flavor/ragebait of the month, all the while blindly strolling into venusian Earth.

How can we get more attention on these issues? How do we make folks realize that their culture war is a mere distraction in the face of what will force millions of people to abandon their ancestral homes and migrate to more hospitable climes in mortal desperation and fear of a planet which slowly becomes more and more lethal to life as we know it?
>>For example, when asking the chatbot to summarize books and extract information, is it possible for the bot to display biases by excluding information about certain groups, names, or events? <<

that is the point of summarization so there's a fine line between offering up trivial or worse mis-information just to be "unbiased"
Did SpaceX do this? Who’s been their CEO?

Edit: lol, I guess she’s the President and COO, not CEO. Dunno if the point still stands, or not…
I'm not so sure about this. Generally speaking there will be more work done on the CPU to decompress at higher levels (e.g. 6 through 9). It is possible (although unlikely) that you will get higher decompression speed, but only if the bottleneck wasn't CPU to begin with (e.g. network or disc).

My gut feeling is that if you are pulling down data faster than 40 Megabits and have a CPU made within the past 7 years (possibly including mobile), you won't be bottlenecked by I/O generally speaking.
> In 2021 dollars, the cost of a round trip air fare has basically halved since 1979. You could buy a business class ticket now for a comparable price to economy back then.

Business class is generally much more than double economy class right now.
What? Companies set prices to maximize profit. If charging more in fees was going to make them more money they would aready have done it.

This argument that you are using maybe didn't come directly from a corporate PR firm, but it sounds like one.
I don’t know if I agree. For a toy project, sure, you don’t need anything at all except a static file host. However, many experienced devs aren’t going to sacrifice tools they know improve codebases when working on new projects at work, or starting something they think could turn into something bigger. It’s so much easier to have some of these tools available from the start, especially if this requires no extra work to setup (which seems to be the point of this anyways). IMO that includes linting/formatting, type safety, unit tests, observability with a dashboard and analytics, and at least very basic CI/CD. Things that I’d find hard to give up working in other code bases :)

Obviously there is going to be a huge amount of bike-shedding about what to use for X or if it’s useful; it’s basically impossible to avoid in this community. So I don’t know if that really detracts from the concept of having a stack with some solid defaults out of the box.

Personally, I might avoid the database/auth/payments related stuff at first, since that feels more subjective. However, tools like typescript, eslint, and prettier are practically industry standards.

It is still a pain in the ass to get a lot of the basics set up for different projects, so it’s nice to see some opinionated approaches to automating this. Compare to other languages like Rust, and the test runner, formatter, linter, dependency manager, and type safety are all built into the language tool chain. It’s so pleasant to not have to do any work to set that up, and I wish JS was more like that.
Languages change. Meanings of words drift. Regex has been used this way since the mid-70s. That is a long time now.

However, software regexes aren't turing complete. I think they are just context sensitive.
I have comcast and I have uncapped 10G internet. I'm sorry you don't and I don't love comcast as a company and years ago comcast was definitely synonymous with poor network quality and certainly they still are in some locations, but, it's hardly universal anymore.
Wikipedia says more like 11%, but it’s pretty complex. NPR produces programs that local stations play, and pay for. So while you might hear someone say they’re listening to NPR, they’re listening to a “member station,” that is paying NPR. They might get some money from federal grants, some from the corporation for public broadcasting, which is federally funded, some from member stations who get some federal grants. So I’m not sure if all the info you’d need to figure it out completely is public. I assume corporate sponsorship beats out federal funds by quite a bit though.
To the previous shareholders of Twitter to compensate them for the shares.
The evidence we have is his father claiming to have helped his sons out to the tune of $115k and said father becoming essentially bankrupt in the 90s.

The Emerald mine denial was shady and dishonest, Elon probably thinking he can get away with it as "technically correct" because there was no actual mine that anyone can point to, just paying locals for any emeralds they have found lying around.

Elon seems about as self made as you can get in the USA, with the approximate amount of support you'd expect from an upper middle class family (helping pay for college and a small $28k business loan).
There is no board of directors. Twitter isn't a publicly-traded company any more; it's private and it's owned by Musk.
Sorry. Never using PayPal... way to many horror stories.
I'm guessing from your tone that your grandmother wasn't crippled by poliovirus years before the vaccine. mine was.

to your probable point, it's a disservice that marketing of vaccine boosters has clearly made vaccines seem tied to corporate profiteering, but there DO exist useful vaccines.
Where does Musk claim to be purely self-made?
Googling the cost of DNA sequencing suggests that "human genome sequencing cost decreased from $1 million in 2007, to $1000 in 2014". That's pretty amazing.
Hey, obviously you can't post like this on HN regardless of how sad someone is or you feel they are. We have to ban accounts that do, and unfortunately you have a history of doing it.

I was always confused because it seemed like his dad bought a handful of shares in a mining company and people think this means he owns it? Like if I went and bought 10 shares of Apple suddenly Tim Cook is answering to me? Elon seems to have had a nice upper-middle class/lower end rich childhood, but from what I've been able to discover he's not some trust fund baby. He wasn't the money guy at Paypal I don't think, but he did manage to turn his Paypal money into successful car and rocket companies.
Community notes is a big part of it.
"Automating DevOps with GitLab CI/CD Pipelines" is not a rare subject.
Fill in the gaps with something interesting. Like that you volunteered doing something, or you traveled somewhere. I have a gap of time where I lived on a farm and learned farming for a while. It's easier if what you fill it in with are true, but you can stretch reality to make it sound more exciting.
My dad worked in the non-profit world making federal senior executive salary, and my mom made over $100k/year as a retail salesperson in a furniture store. My parents managed to pay about $300k in college tuition between me and my brother.

I’d never claim to be anything other than upper middle class (even though my dad grew up in a village in Bangladesh and his elementary school had no walls). But at the same time, if I became a billionaire it would be extremely disingenuous to imply that it was the result of family wealth. This level of family wealth is mundane in top American schools. The journalists whining about Musk almost certainly had similar support from their parents.
Please don't, regardless of how bad another comment is or you feel it is.

There's this somewhat odd bifurcation right now between:

- Basically zero interest rate accounts which are presumably counting on a combination of small accounts and lazy money not bothering to chase market-level interest rates and

- Banks/brokerages actively chasing people willing to park a lot of money in cash at current low-risk interest rates

4-5% may not beat inflation but it looks pretty good in a very uncertain economic environment.
I dunno, auto workers are better paid than many other workers.

My son is still living at our farm but he is starting his first real job. We’ve looked at options for his first car, he is interested in getting an early 1990s Buick or something like that (which can be had under $4000), the kind of used car that I find attractive (a 2010-2020 Honda) is pretty expensive ($13-$18k). We’re leaning towards taking our chances with the bucket.

Anyone actually involved with decisions managing the bank was not bailed out. The people who were bailed out are depositors.

If you want to make this argument, the correct version is that depositors are incentivized to find the bank paying the highest interest regardless of risk. But I think this argument is very weak.
I'm not a fan of unions, you have a narrow sense of politics

Don't eat crow simply because he followed through on one thing. He's still a blatant liar and fascist, spewing bullshit about things like being a "free speech absolutist." Giving him credit on this one thing is playing into his hand by scrubbing his reputation in way that allows him to get away with his more insidious plans (e.g. making Twitter more right-wing).
Pretty good, though locking it up in a CD could be a good or bad thing given the circumstances.

If you look at inflation calculator 115K in 1997 is worth 290K today. I don't know a single parent that would or could hand over that amount of cash in 97 or today. It's wealthly regardless of how you slice it.
I can't find "Automating DevOps with GitLab CI/CD Pipelines" by Marie Karpos on Amazon.com. I'm guessing Cowell's publisher (Pakt) had something to do with that. Or maybe Amazon took it down to avoid more bad press?

Which is a folly. How can Stoke-on-Trent ever compete with London. Even if London market is fragmented in 6 or more clubs it's still much much bigger.

Fans of small teams are left hoping that some entrepreneur from their town wins big on the stock market and then decides to buy some love with the help of clever lawyers to circumvent the Financial Fair Play.
LLMs are different from self driving cars in that they can be useful even when they make wrong decisions occasionally. Copilots, document drafting (legal, copy, etc) and summarisation are useful services that people and enterprises are currently enjoying.
The original raspberry pi's struggled with browsers. And and they look super stylish with that clear case thing.
A DNS resolver is both a client and a server -- for example Google's 8.8.8.8 (which this is a toy version of) is a server (you can query it with `dig @8.8.8.8 example.com`), but also a client of the various authoritative DNS servers that it fetches and caches records from.

I implemented this as a command line tool because that's much easier to do in a Jupyter notebook environment, but you can also pretty easily transform it into a UDP server running on localhost and query it with dig in the same way that you would with 8.8.8.8. That's one of the bonus exercises at the end (Exercise 7).

I might end up bringing "convert it into a server" into the main content though because it's pretty easy to do and I think it makes the whole thing seem more "real".
I'd have yet another interpretation: the exact time when Earth needed precisely 60 revolutions around the sun to reach its current location.
CPI's latest number is 4.9% YoY and 0.4% MoM. So the VMFXX's 5.01% rate is beating the latest estimates on inflation.
I've had a switch for years and I agree I do love playing it, but, there are some really great games in the playstation ecosystem. It's definitively a less casual environment but I personally would not give up on playing games like The Last of Us and Horizon and the new God of War games. Really incredible gameplay with incredible story as well.
"Regarding the so-called “emerald mine”, there is no objective evidence whatsoever that this mine ever existed. He told me that he owned a share in a mine in Zambia, and I believed him for a while, but nobody has ever seen the mine, nor are there any records of its existence." - Elon Musk, https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1654971702571331584

Being “revolutionary” in my use is that “cars change the world”, which they did. If it was all about F1 racing and Bentleys that 1% of people could afford, cars wouldn’t be the force that they are.
If you want more of that kind of Zelda seek out the earlier Ocarina-like games. Wind Waker & Twilight Princess were remastered in HD on the Wii U and Skyward Sword was remastered for the Switch.
> Also, there aren’t 180 countries in the world that are outside of EU.

If by countries you mean “UN member or non-member observer states”, correct.

But that’s pretty much the most conservative count. (And leaves 168 non-EU countries.)
Rebels as well, which IMO was the best of all 3.

Clone Wars & Rebels both suffer at first from being a bit too kid-oriented, but both wind up getting pretty serious over time.
I think he’s implying that everyone dies, everyone will ultimately live through some life arc, and letting people survive a fatal illness invariably causes the average age of the population to rise and at some point the costs outweigh the benefits. So what’s the point of a longer arc of life?

My personal counterpoint: pancreatic cancers tend to strike anywhere in adulthood, so survival could yet lead to many years of productive life. Also, having grandparents is good, even if they’ve retired. Maybe especially if they’ve retired.
That doesn't seem a useful metric, as surely that isn't an exhaustive list, and following someone on twitter is not a useful signal that you share their philosophy. Lot's of "hate" following on twitter.
Startup Is a Media Company
Keep in mind, when I say 'short bursts', I mean on the time scale of seconds. No capacitor bank is going to be capable of supplying current for that long; especially not one put in a phone. In most cases, the restriction is inevitably heat based (how long can I run this before thermals cause me to need to throttle) and the power supply is pushed to be able to handle it.

EV batteries and e-bikes are a whole different animal than what is used in cell phone battery tech.

Also, is 2.0V bad for the battery? It's not great, but it's not Voc of 2.0V. It's Vsc, essentially. Which is a very different quantity.
The Emerald mine money (whatever small amount it was, likely under $70k given that seems to be the value of the plane he traded for the share) came from Zimbabwe. Its cleaner that Errol's propery money.

And Elon was misleading and disingenuous but could still make a case that he hasn't explicitly lied on these things.
What changes have you personally experienced?

For me it's mostly been (1) seeing less content from people I actually follow (because prioritization of Twitter Blue subscribers) while my own tweets are shown less; and (2) awkward conversations with people, where I can type 280 characters, but they can respond with infinitely long answers.
I would be more excited if it were unreleased work from the Homework project. "Get Lucky" is pretty much the only track that came out of RAM that I can revisit with as much appreciation as when I used to listen to it. The bonus tracks are basically drafts. Listening to a track featuring people talking in a recording studio isn't much to get excited about.
Sega tried something along those lines - with proper PC hardware you could play Saturn games... I don't think it worked out for them.
Crud-to-crude: The global potential of biofuels made from human waste
For any historical-context addicts out there, Evan Thomas’ “The Very Best Men” is a grounded yet engaging study of the run-up to the Church Committee that I highly recommend. It spends a lot of time on the backroom dealings and connections that the CIA used to keep their dirty laundry out of the press, as covered in this article.

(Don’t take the book title at face value; it’s meant to be simultaneously facetious yet the slightest bit sincere.)

> Is it clear? I haven't really used Twitter since well before the acquisition, but I've heard nothing but complaints about bugs, ad revenue falling off a cliff and replies being nothing but right-wing reply guys.

I think it's pretty clear that there was a lot of fat to cut. From a technical perspective Twitter hardly seems to be suffering at all.

The biz move (to pivot to a right-leaning social network) is what scared off users and advertisers, not the layoffs per se. In a counterfactual world where Elon slashed staff but left the existing policies and target demographics in place, Twitter would've been a lot healthier.
> everyone's freaked out about the safety of their deposits

Everybody knew that they were insured only until $250,000. At my bank, it's on a plaque at every self-service ATM at every branch. Every single person who deposited in these banks knew this and decided to live with that risk. The risk came due, and now the FDIC has decided that banks that are too big or influential get an unlimited protection, but small little mom-and-pop banks won't get a penny past $250K if they screw up.

I think that if you actually put more than $250K in the bank and got hit, that's on you. You should've gotten insurance from elsewhere or used multiple banks. It literally exists and it's optional, it's called Depositors Insurance Fund Coverage (DIF), and it insures everything over $250K if you opt-in. You could also get MaxSafe, which insures up to $3.75 million. Wealthfront has a bank account with $5 million of insurance for those interested. Regular people should not pay a penny for bad risk-taking. To me, this reeks "Privatize the gains, socialize the losses."
Not the same. Hiring a female CEO can and should happen often. But when a company is publicly failing, this is a tool used by male boards frequently enough to have its own Wikipedia page.

He and two others were subduing the homeless man to protect other passengers (there were five 911 calls), then tried to help the homeless man after he went unconscious.
I don't think it's uncommon. Big companies have always played dumb games with billing and contracting unless you can nail them to the wall with an ironclad "you pay us X on Y day or you pay us an extra Z per day" contract.
I think that people get too visceral on this topic.

Elon has obviously managed to create incredibly successful businesses. And he is also from an upper class background, which makes things easier, but hey, doesn't mean he isn't talented and that he worked really hard to get where he is.

Another thing that also seems pretty obvious is that he wants to hide his privileged background. Here is an archived interview from Forbes where he openly talks about his father's private plane and the emerald mine:

I feel this a bit. I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee which I loved but decided to have engine problems which apparently is not uncommon. After months of attempted repairs the only option left was a replacement engine that cost more than the value of the car. I considered it but decided against on the advice of a trusted mechanic who says the Jeep replacement engines are problematic and I'd just be inviting more repair cost. Based on how things had gone, I imagined this is correct.

I wanted to cheap, small, 2wd pickup to toss rocks and woodchips and the like into for around the town chores which I seem to do a lot of. Does not exist, somewhere along the line everyone decided a pickup truck is some sort of luxury vehicle with all kinds of bells and whistles. While base model trucks are affordable, I cannot find one anywhere, only high-level trims are available. And a used truck with 100k miles is still outrageously expensive and I have shell shock from the Jeep engine blowing up at that milage.
>Anyone who intensionally crashes a huge hunk of metal into pubic land, causing a significant hazard, and exposing the public to stupid risks for "views" absolutely deserves significant jail-time

No people who slaughters others through deliberate negligence deserve jail time. That includes FAA and boeing employees who violated clear rules.

A person who does stupid shit with no intention of killing people and put no one at risk and ended up not killing anybody should be punished for doing stupid shit. Jail time which is huge is reserved for actual criminals, who actively and have Already harmed people.
