It seems that EVs are stuck in the range wars, the headline spec for an EV above all else is its kWh and range. It’s ridiculous, no ICE car gets marketed by range, and if they did you’d find that EVs are about on par range wise, they are just less convenient to refuel.

The value proposition of a hybrid makes EVs difficult to stomach, why get one EV when you can get two hybrids for the same price? Toyota will 100% jump on EVs once they become economical, but until then they are still making the car for the masses.

* EVs are not a solution to air pollution, most air pollution from modern cars is from brakes and tyres.

* OTOH, China is really ahead in battery-powered 2-wheelers, that replace the old scooter fleet, and that ought to do something.

* Still, China's air pollution is for the main part due to massive use of coal power, incinerators, and desertification bringing sand from Gobi desert. The linked study from grand-parent doesn't even mention any of these.

I don't think so. Yes, Democrats (and American progressives in general) don't emphasize socialism as much as the traditional left or some European parties. However, they're generally still sympathetic. Moreover, while American progressives don't worry so much about economic egalitarianism, they very strongly believe that minorities earning less than whites, female earning less than male, etc. is wrong, and are willing to enact things like reparations, affirmative action,and the like to counterbalance that. In the ideal progressive utopia, CEOs would still be paid hundreds of times more than the average worker, but representation of minority race, female, non-straight and trans people among CEOs and other prestigious positions would occur at least as much as their representation in the population, regardless of their ability, and if cis straight white males are represented less than their proportion of the population, that's just gravy, and maybe justified revenge for their dominant position in the past. In fact, wokism is even more egalitarian than Marxism - the latter says from each according to ability, to each according to need, but it was generally expected that the jobs requiring higher ability would be staffed by people of higher ability.

In general, it's obvious that identity politics forms the core of the political class of today's Democratic Party (especially the young), and equally obvious that America is the innovator that other progressive parties follow in this respect. America also has thrown itself into gender politics with particular enthusiasm - gender transitions, even of minors, are a cornerstone of American progressivism today, even as progressive European countries have rolled that back to an extent.

I will concede that Europe leads in the other main aspect of current-day progressivism, the Green movement, although American progressives are avid followers.

Seriously? Try driving a car from, say, the late 80s and one from 2020.

But ok, only software is tech, got it. So when exactly is mechanical engineering no longer a STEM discipline? Seriously, that take is simple hybris of the software crowd, and totally ignoring all the hardware tech all of us use all the time. But ok, a while ago the only measure of car quality was chassis panel fitting (if there ever was a truely German over engineering nonsense, that is it), now it is the feel of the car entertainment system.

One of the reasons I quitted Amazon Prime was ecology.
My neighborhood is plagued with Amazon delivery vans.
They are everywhere, double parked, which makes traffic a mess in a place that used to be a quiet neigborhood.
I am sure Amazon has no idea about how many CO2 they emit, since most of them are freelance contractors.
But since they don't pay much, they have no low emission vehicles, and makes the rest of the people emit more CO2 since they double park everywhere.
I have no love for philosophy groups that confuse transient political fads with ethics, but the overall attitude expressed here, and in so many other threads, is baffling.

I imagine somewhen in the early 1940s there was a person who said the same thing about Manhattan Project. "Good they fired all those whiners splitting hairs about some ethics thing instead of splitting atoms like they're supposed to."

Then the project was done, and the bombs fell, and two cities got flattened, and 80 years later, America - and by extension, the entire western culture - still hasn't recovered from guilt and self-inflicted trauma.

As a kid, I had to study literature at school that dealt more or less directly with the atomic bombs, with the major theme being the ethics of scientific discovery. I imagine everyone going to a public school somewhere, across couple generations up an down from me, had this experience too. Later as an adult, I've also seen other works of art covering this topic. And I keep seeing reasonable people constantly quoting that bullshit meme from a dinosaur movie - "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should."

All in all, I think it's broadly accepted that some ethical oversight over powerful technologies is warranted. But I guess not over technologies we find fascinating, or think we can make a career in.
The article explains that too. But it's easy to think of millions of examples if you can hack everyone and persuade people to do stuff for you and you are smarter than them.

Sometimes it's a person, sure, but I think often it's the broad system of reviews and promotions. Above a certain size, it's impossible for higher-ups in an organization to know what everyone below them is doing, and the organization has to rely on metrics. Things that are easy to measure get prioritized.

I've been interested in NLP for tagging stories based on topics and themes (detectives, werewolves, murder mystery, etc.), so need accurate disambiguation of parts of speech and ways of detecting uses of metaphore, similies, etc. to describe those. I also want to be able to assess how much of the text is about a given topic, so that if I'm interested in reading a detective story from e.g. the Project Gutenberg collection, I don't want it to pick up a story where a detective is only mentioned in one paragraph.

I've looked at several existing NLP frameworks (Open NLP, Stanford NLP) and none of them are accurate enough -- they fail on things like adjectives and old english second person pronouns. This makes them practically unusable for proper sense diambiguation, lemma and part of speech based rules, etc.

The Open NLP tokenizer is also terrible at tokenizing title abbreviations ("Dr", etc.) and things like the use of "--" to delimit text, which is frequently found various Project Gutenberg texts. You can train the Open NLP tokenizer, but it works on what it has seen, so you need to give it every variation of "(Mr|Mrs|Miss|Ms|Rev|Dr|...). [A-Z]" for it to tokenize those titles; the same for other tokens.
I cycle a lot in Berlin. My observation is that EVs are far safer to be around because the car will hit the breaks before the driver gets into any trouble. Big ICE cars on the other hand are the worst. SUVs are the worst. I constantly get cut off by obnoxious drivers aggressively driving from traffic light to traffic light, cutting off people, breaking the speed limit, running red lights, double parking, or slamming their door in your face because they can't bothered to look around then. German traffic rule enforcement is very hands off so there is a lot of this going on. I deal with this on a daily basis.
The simple way to solve the problem, of course, is to not know it's unsolvable. Then work at it, tirelessly, until you come up with the solution.

The story from math is that of a student who fell asleep and was late going to his final. He walks in, sees three problems on the blackboard, and works frantically to solve them in the time he has left. Valiantly, he manages to solve all three, turns it in, and just hopes for a passing grade.

Later he gets a call from the professor who asks "do you know what you did?" The student's heart drops, thinking he's failed miserably. The professor continues: "You were only supposed to do the first two problems," the professor explained. "That last one was an example of an equation that mathematicians since Einstein have been trying to solve without success. I discussed it with the class before starting the test. And you just solved it!"

Note that this story is actually (approximately) true! George Dantzig, a UC Berkeley PhD candidate at the time, solved an unsolved problem in math as homework, and the plot was later used in Good Will Hunting. Dantzig was later awarded National Medal of Science by President Gerald Ford.

Ask HN: How did you find yourself on HN?
Hello! I've been here for a few months now. When I got my new laptop, I installed brave instead of chrome and typing "news" in the top automatically re-directs here.

I didn't expect to end up spending so much time here. I am nowhere near a programmer in my day-to-day life. I am currently embarking on a study of topology with the assistance of a friend who does research in mathematical physics, but aside from that my interests lay in literary fields and I'm quite shocked to see that very frequently the interests of other users here oftentimes matches up with my own. But I am also aware that many users here are actually in "silicon valley" (or at least work full time as developers); though, looking at the CS majors I went to school with, I have to imagine you guys are a special sort.
I have often seen people on HN with mind boggling (to me) incomes to whom houses that seem relatively very inexpensive are inaccessible. Why is that? Naively I would think you could rent for 30k/y and save enough in just a few years to buy a house without a mortgage
It's easy? It works? It feels like HTML? No build steps? No JSON? The primary documentation fits in a single page? Most common patterns (i.e. polling, and then stopping if necessary) are built-in? Because fundamentally, it's just standard HTML forms? The entire dev experience is focused on a single application (backend) as opposed to writing a backend and a seemingly separate frontend project, in a different language (unless you use JS on the backend)? Simply replacing HTML fragments is conceptually simpler than maintaining a shadow DOM? It embraces web standards/APIs (see client validation discussion above)?

Here's polling in Svelte: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61391174/how-to-do-polli...

and in HTMX:

Maybe Svelte has an easier way, but Google isn't directing me straight to it, which is all part of the "easy to learn" aspect.

The most consistent behavior from Ethereum developers is designing “clever home-brewed mechanisms” because they are ”very smart”, and then it turns out this is yet another dirty hack that'll need more dirty hacks in the future to circumvent all its flaws.

The biggest quality concern isn't that something will break but the quality of the support I get when it does. If the closest dealership+brand repair shop is two hours drive away and all the major brands have repairs 5 minutes drive away, then it's not competitive. The moat of the established brands is pretty big when it comes to the service network.
This is quite common in scientific research. The typical algorithm I follow is to reframe the problem in the language of different fields and see whether there is a more useful way of tackling it in that framework. There are always some leaks in the abstraction/translation but often by reframing the problem you find a good-enough solution.
Same way if it gets cold, or food is missing from the supermarket everyone will temporarily stop caring about the environment. Priorities are there for a reason.

I think you don't provide enough information for anybody to give you good advice.

That being said: Consider that sometimes there are problems where you yourself will be unable to judge the problem you're in, because you are in it. It can be a bit of a bootstrapping problem: If you were the person who could see the solution, you might not have ended up in the situation in the first place. So the logical solution can be to get outside help so advice by a trusted person or actual therapy.

Getting out of a hole can sometimes be done by clawing yourself out, but sometimes having someone throw you a rope is the smarter move.
People do it often because it's a cheap way to feel smart without putting in any effort. It's the same reason how people mention Dunnking-Kruger any chance they can.

I doubt adding full context would help much in terms of getting a quality answer. Someone who answers questions in good faith will answer if they are there. All it would do is remove all the XY people I guess

I bought a used Mercury Grand Marquis 2009 in perfect condition one year ago and I don't see why would I want to part with it in the next 20 years or so. Grain leather interior that is not making any sounds on road bumps, no touchscreen bs, super smooth ride thanks to rear air suspension. Sure it can't accelerate as fast as an EV, but I just want have a relaxed pleasing experience, not accelerations. It's V8 also makes pleasing sounds when going uphill.

And I paid just 6k for it. I'd rather double the normal maintenance for it than buy a Tesla.

The Internet is still lacking a great amount for ADA and government compliancy, despite the fact that they have an entiire department dedicated to it, cannot possibly keep up with ensuring ADA guidelines are met. And unfortunately, there is a lot of real-world paperwork that no one wants to spend money on paying someone to type up and its just easier to scan a document and get it on the Internet. Owning multiple properties with HOA, they scan a lot of their documents within a PDF. I'd think that it would actually be those PDF readers/browsers that need to figure out how to make things more ADA compatible since organizations can't be held responsible for what technology is incapable of doing.
A very simple thus unconvincing demonstration.

Real world board designs usually have critical placement, mechanical, EMI, test, assembly, anti-RE, supply-chain or other business-level constraints.

Without evolving the fundamental requirements definition to a language that holistically allows the parametric expression of these factors, generated designs are unlikely to meet real world needs in most real world (non-trivial) use cases.

Whoa. I have been struggling with this issue for a long time. My gut has turned very sensitive and bloated. I could have a hard day even if I have strong coffee. Let alone skip a meal. My medical diagnosis doesn't show any problem with my stomach or gut. I used to smoke and there used to be times when it was stressful at work and I believed it was natural for anyone these days. After 2 years of stoppinh smoking + taking care of my diet + medicines it is still not gone completely. It's uncomfortable to live with this.

> But this doesnʼt address the point stated by GP as follows: “The point is whether Russia could extort countries (eg: prevent from sending military aid to Ukraine) or not”

But it does, when you take into account the time dimension: Why did Germany provide this big military aid package only now? I think one credible hypothesis is that they didn't provide big support while there was fear of energy extortion and did provide it after the energy dependency crisis was averted.

A big issue for Ukraine has been that the equipment has arrived too late: first we let Russia bomb the country and then afterwards we provide air defence systems. First we let Russia fortify its positions and then afterwards we provide main battle tanks. These delays have caused both destruction and prolongation of the invasion.

Also, it's not only about Germany sending or not sending aid: the Central and Eastern European and Nordic countries have been quicker but they have had to wait for re-export permissions for equipment bought from Germany.

I continue as if there is a solution, but when I see an avenue suggesting it doesn't have a solution, I try to take that. Generally the info from trying to show the problem is unsolvable will help understand the problem better anyway.
Ask HN: Knowledge that you won't share
I've been working on an "job manual" for 3 years. This manual helps me immensely in getting more money. I don't share it as this will increase a lot of competition and I will get zero reward for sharing it.

Another article featured on HN had a guy automate his job. He told his manager who brought the software inhouse and fired him.

In both the instances, people are/will be punished for sharing their knowledge.

So, do you also possess some knowledge which you aren't sharing but if you do, it will do.....something?
