This is typically specified in open circuit voltage. Under load, lithium ion batteries can get to VERY low voltages due to internal resistance. 2.0V is not uncommon.
Yes and for example in central europe, you won't get enough UV-B from the sun in the winter months at all, as it is filtered out by the atmosphere (low angle, more atmosphere to pass through). But in the sommer, one still should avoid the sun at noon, because of sun burns.
That’s a particularly hilarious way to frame it but also an interesting person to pick considering he was born into a family of inventors and had the resources to attend an ivy league. Quite literally humanity might be much better off had he not had an opportunity to innovate.

To clarify my point, it just feels odd to hear a purely utilitarian argument against slavery, which hinges on some kind of implied rule of nature that equality can only result in more altruistic geniuses benefitting the greater good -without taking into account all the very intelligent people who, with the best of intentions, have set us on our supposed course towards apocalypse. Because the argument is utilitarian, it can be dismissed with theoretically advantageous results of slavery, which is beyond the pale for me personally.
So close. SO CLOSE.

The deck is in favor of massive inequality. This expresses in different ways. For many employees, it's exploitative workplaces. (These exploitative places are very often large companies - it turns out smaller companies usually have a sense of "together" that makes this harder). For many new businesses, it's an extremely harsh environment with low survival rates. A large part of that is that the environment is controlled by large companies and their owners.

There's a price to massive scale, and it seems we've chosen to pay it as massive inequality.

It's reality, not FUD. Emergency rooms not being able to turn you away when you have a heart attack isn't healthcare. Healthcare includes being able to go to a doctor before you get to the point of emergency for preventative care.

Pattern matching (+tuples, records) is going to make conditional rendering, conditional styles and state management even nicer in Flutter.
Thank you Dart team.

BTW, all the negative comments I see here seem to come from people who haven't worked with Dart and Flutter which is a cultish reactive showing of `google meh` `apple cool!` sentiment that permeates HN.

If you haven't tried Flutter and Dart give it a good try, it is really nice.
As a European, this is something I still find weird in American political terminology.

From my perspective, socialism died with the Soviet Union. The left-wing ideologies that have been dominant since the 90s are closer to classical liberalism than socialism, because they fundamentally accept private property and free markets.

> Bluntly, we should listen to the people working the jobs.

We should do this in a study, not by asking people at work.

Have you ever worked in retail, customer service, or other emotional labor positions? You are literally not allowed to look or be sad for most of the day, or you will be fired. Looking happy is part of the work.

> They can all do basic math.

Sadly, this isn't true. Financial literacy is super low, and no, people driving for uber do not understand the math behind deferred risk. If they did, none of them would take the job.

Do you know any uber drivers? Anyone in low paid positions at all?

Depending on your needs, this can be as simple as sticking repos on any server you have and cloning/pulling/pushing over ssh. If you want something more sophisticated, though, there's a handful of nice applications (gitea is being suggested further up-thread).
Mojo bothers offers Just-In-Time and Ahead-Of-Time models. Proper AOT compilation is going to offer a significant speedup, but probably not enough to get to their stated goals. And good luck carrying all of Python's dynamic features across the gap.
I find "SMD Sample Books" to be a more effective storage/retrieval system for SMD passives than the lidded parts enclosures. I've got some of the latter, but stopped using them for passives (and repurposed them for small 3-6 pin commonly used parts).

But I have to admit that that setup is far cleaner and more organized overall than my disaster of a workbench...

Try coding in a language/style you are not familiar with.

It is not revolutionary for areas you specialize in, but if I try using it for something like setting up a web scraper with python (something I understand conceptually but have never done) it feels pretty amazing.

My one concern is that if I use it for JS I can immediately spot issues with it, but I am too ignorant of python to spot subtle problems.
> The team’s roughly 30 members, who communicate mostly through Slack and weekly video calls, include staffers from... cloud service providers... online gaming companies... security researchers, academics... FBI agents and federal prosecutors.

Do security professionals, including government agents, really use Slack to communicate sensitive information about investigations? Do they ever give any thought to the fact that they're delegating storage and retrieval of their communications to a third party SaaS company? I still can't believe most startups use Slack, nevermind the FBI. Surely a group of professionals could setup a self hosted Mattermost or Matrix instance, and avoid the risk of compromise by Salesforce.

> Despite their constant communication, the members of Big Pipes and the FBI are careful to note that the internet services with staff members in the group don’t share their users’ private information without going through the usual legal processes of subpoenas and search warrants. Nor does the FBI share private data with Big Pipes, or blindly arrest or search people based on the group’s leads, Peterson says; the FBI investigates the defendants from scratch, treating information from Big Pipes as it would tips from any source.

If I were a defendant on trial for running a DDoS service, I would ask my lawyer to subpoena Slack for those messages. Now that they've bragged about their parallel construction, it seems fair game to open up their Slack channel to discovery, just to make sure that the FBI really is following the "usual legal process."
"Speaking of Python speed you gotta hand it to the core Python devs having some really dedicated numerical analysis folks."

Assuming you mean 2020, it's impressive for a game but not Google earth. Flying through a desert (even a desert city with photogrammetry!) and the interpolated trees that get added in would make you think you're flying over a lush forest in the pacific northwest. It also struggles a lot with non-solid 3d objects like bridges, freeway overpasses, etc.
Arbitrary labels aside, my point stands that it is ridiculous to conflate "socialist" and someone who opposes social programs and a robust society by opposing the public governments that are necessary to implement such things on a large scale, because "privacy" is the highest virtue.

What exactly is "socialist" about Stallman, aside from him not being a US Republican and disliking Big Tech?

For example, a radically socialist policy would be that "social ownership" should extend to some amount of personal information, to increase accountability, cohesion, trust, etc. But Stallman would vehemently oppose this.

Not to mention importing and consuming all those products direct from china
For Windows, MinGW has an independent implementation of the complete build environment so you don't need any VS tools, import libraries or headers. For macOS there is no such complete build root but the actual tools are available - e.g. clang is always a cross-compiler able of targetting all supported architectures and for the linker Apple's own ld64 is open source and we also have lld now although I am not certain the macOS target status.

> AFAIK you can have clang-cl on Linux

clang-cl is a frontent for MSVC command-line compatibility - you don't even need that for cross-compiling, just -target and then whatever -fms-* extensions you need for your non-portable code. But yes, Clang doesn't come with its own SDK so you will need headers and import libraries and possibly other tooling (although the LLVM procect covers a lot).
Whistleblowers, spies, side-channel intelligence. Not that many tools but enough to make most states avoid entering agreements they won't honor.

This is great. My own setup would benefit a lot from some of these ideas. Glad to see the omnifixo in there! It’s one of my favourite things I keep on hand.

I’ve never found the need to keep heaps of components on hand, but I guess I’m not an electrical engineer or anything remotely like it. I just fix stuff and make junk when I’m inspired. What kind of situation would justify having so much stuff on hand? Maybe if you actually design and prototype PCBs and know which components you’ll typically need?
IDK about 35,000x but Python really is outrageously slow relative to other popular languages, even other interpreted ones. It's more comparable to something like Ruby than to something like JavaScript.

The daguerreotype wasn't great news for portrait painters.

It didn't kill painting, it just changed it.

It also opened up a new field of the professional photographer.

I can't stress this enough this is exactly what's going on.

AI is a tool for simple boring repetitive tedium that takes too long.

Abstract art came because after photography, painting the exact same painting of yet another rich person didn't pay the bills anymore. And frankly, thank goodness for that.

Work in the future is not going to look like it does now. It's going to mutate. Ok, that's fine, it always does.
I can agree with this take. I think if the job can't exist after reasonable regulation is enacted, then it shouldn't exist.
Nice! I remember learning about Cronhub when the original developer was building in public on social media, back in 2019. I remember thinking it was a cool idea, and even recommended it to a friend that was running a startup and was having some issues with failing cron jobs.

Cool to see that it’s still around and profitable! Yeah, maintenance of an inherited codebase is hard, but happy to see that someone took over it.
Exactly because the capital is quite constant (either external investors or existing profits) and competition will up their game as well, trying to use the innovation as a differentiator. We can nowadays fulfill all the needs of a person from the 50s, yet we keep finding new occupations, increasing our standards and we keep making the world more complex, desperately so even.

So what you're saying is that one piece of software with years of labor from a team of engineers can match another piece of software with years of labor from a team of engineers? You're incorrectly comparing the creation of the software with the usage of the software. Yeah, now all you need to do is give ChatGPT the file and prompt it for a solution, whereas before, you... gave the file to a different piece of software and hit a button.
At the end of the day, intermittent renewables and nuclear are both low-externality energy sources chasing the same public funding. Neither competes with high-externality energy sources except in rare situations, and since the public purse isn't infinite they're in competition with each other.

So it'll probably be a while. FWIW, I'm on the intermittent renewables camp, wish there was more civility in the debate, recognize the worst behavior comes from my side of the aisle and still think pro-nuclear arguments are their own worst enemies.

Bostrom's moral logic has always been the philosophybro version of using numerically unstable floating point algorithms. He contrives to find situations where multiplying a tiny probability by an enormous weighting factor leads to some kind of publishable result in doomsday philosophy, where the bar is not set high.

The thinking appears to be that even if the ideas in each individual paper are trifling, publishing a sufficient number of them will lead in the aggregate to a great lurch forward for human thought.
Middle ground not quite, alternative yes. More than one.

Multitude of options and diversity plus diversification.

See, the middle ground between fascism and primitivism is eco-fascism. Not a place to be. It results in strict rationing, control and many people dying.
Neither is solar punk an actual thing to aspire to.

Instead you can do anarchism. Decentralized collective action with multiple approaches, as long as they play for the similar good goals of actually surviving and not destroying ourselves in the short or long run. Some technical solutions, some social solutions, a bunch of separate big and small actions.
There not even a necessity to actually cut consumption by much, as a lot of waste is due to distribution from centralized manufacturing and stockpiling.

The decentralized diversity ensures that at least a bunch of people will find a right sustainable way to live and survive in local conditions.
You can have a reasonably primitive eco-village next to a high tech agglomeration, next to a village straight from Aboriginal dream, side with a rastafarian farm, flanked by an industrial cleaned up soviet factory and cyberneticized arcology.

The practice is valuable because it increases knowledge. You don't build large-scale projects first, you build prototypes first (and many of them) then iterate.

>How can you claim permaculture is about the goals you described if it's not contributing to them?

Permaculture is not about those goals specifically. It can contribute to those goals, aligns with them nicely, and many people who are into permaculture are also into those other goals, but it is not the goal.

> the ranks will be increased with unskilled labor and the profession will cease to be desirable knowledge work.

The real skill in software development has never been coding, but rather formally specifying problems and turning them into a complete set of instruction. If people could do that, we'd be all out of a job already. Java syntax isn't rocket science, folks...
There will be a lot more developers using AI to create software, and fewer software developers writing actual code (those that do will continue to be paid very well). Heavily using AI to create software will become a new layer of development that will broaden the field and a lot of tools will be built just for that purpose, to simplify and dumb it down. The developers not writing code will not be paid nearly so well. To get a job using AI to create software (but not writing code) will require a degree and it'll pay sub six figures most commonly.

A large share of developers making six figures today, that are in the middle ~15-25% group (in terms of skill), will often not be good enough to cut it in the future as the field narrows for writing code, the gravy train for the median and below will end and the pay will drop below six figures (in today's dollar). The entire bottom 1/3 or more of the code writing software field (people which are earning $75k-$85k+ today in the US) will largely be obliterated.

There are around 1.1-1.2 million software developers in the US today, earning roughly a median of $110k-$115k before benefits. Until recent developments, those people were almost all writing code directly (with some standard copy-pasting from Stack of course). At least half of those jobs are going away and quickly. Most will transition over to creating software using AI, but rarely or never writing code directly, as few people write machine code today. AI will similarly propogate a new layer, with fewer writing code directly (and that field may perpetually shrink for decades as it gets squeezed ever tighter by ever better AI approaches).

The number of people directly writing code has or is close to peaking. This is the end of that era.

People in the emerging software world (eg parts of Eastern Europe or Latin America, etc) will have a potent economic ladder largely pulled away from them (this part sucks big time, but nothing can stop what's coming). The opportunities to use AI to create software will still be there for those people (it won't pay nearly as well as writing code does today); it'll become a lot more rare for rich corporations to pay well to write code directly off-shore and the job numbers will dwindle substantially.
It's about big codebases and team use, not about you.

From a quick reading of the Mojo website, it sounds like gluing in compiled code is exactly what they're doing, except this time the separate compiled language happens to look sort of like Python a bit. For the actual Python code it still uses CPython, so that part doesn't get any faster.
Have some data on that? This is what I've been able to find, and it suggests 'fluid intelligence' only drops down 10% from your peak in your 20s by age 54, and down 14% by age 64, which is nowhere near what you're suggesting (in fact it never gets that low according to this). And crystallized intelligence much slower than that.

"Fluid intelligence or fluid reasoning reflects the ability to solve novel problems, the kind that aren't taught in school," he explains, "whereas crystallized intelligence or crystallized knowledge measures learning and problem solving that are related to schooling and acculturation."

These different types of intelligence show different patterns as you get older.

Crystallized intelligence "averages 98 at ages 20–24, rises to 101 by ages 35–44, before declining to 100 (ages 45–54), then 98 (55–64), then 96 (65–69), then 93 (70–74), and 88 (75+)," says Kaufman.

Fluid intelligence drops much more quickly. Kaufman reveals that it "peaks at ages 20–24 (100), drops gradually to 99 (25–34) and 96 (35–44) before starting a rollercoaster plunge to 91 (45–54), 86 (55–64), 83 (65–69), 79 (70–74), and 72 (75+)."
