On the other hand, consumers have little control over businesses. I'd be fine with eco friendly delivery, eg more wait time to minimize trips in the neighborhood, electric cars, etc. Most of the time I'm sitting on a full online cart for days, and removing stuff I don't really need until I'm happy with the order: I can wait.

But where's that option?
We were talking about the US. Other world states are in a different situation - which depends on the country.

As for the US - there is no such thing as it "doing nothing". It has been attacking, occupying, repressing, subverting - all the time, in many places around the world, essentially since it was founded. As have other military empires in history.
Adding insult to injury, Germany (and other European carmakers) voluntarily withdrew from Russian market, writing down local assets. Then Chinese companies entered the country, negotiated very cheap reusing of abandoned factories (the main condition AFAIK was just to keep people employed), and now dominate the Russian market.

And even the new VW cars sold in Russia are now Chinese-built versions imported without VW's consent.

Its mission is to deliver council services, but if the best way to do that is through efficient IT (and in this day and age that's pretty undoubtedly the case, since most communications are pushed via websites, payments are made via automated systems, etc etc), then the organization should definitely pack the necessary skills and organizational tools to achieve efficient IT first and foremost.

> I don't actually want my city government to be a "software-making organization that delivers government services".

Let me understand this.

You want your city government to overcharge you on Council Tax because they didn't see the form you filed two months ago about being a single occupant.

You want your city government to miss your bin because they actually performed the collection one day earlier than usual and didn't alert you in some way.

You want your city government to be at the mercy of unfaithful civil servants who abscond with money by applying dodgy accounting.

You want your city government to dig themselves into massive financial holes because their planning and forecasting software is subpar.

You want your city government to be unable to analize expenses and contracts to identify where they're getting gouged.

You want your city government to ignore complaints about this or that item, since they can conveniently forget to file them when people call.

These (and more) are not hypotheticals - this is what goes on in many (most?) local authorities, today like yesterday, and it's all stuff that can be fixed with software by organizations with the right skills and attitudes; but they require putting software (and people who know how to make software) at the heart of "how we go about doing things".
Is this myth still lingering on? You have to pay a lot more on maintenace for Teslas: brake pads, shattered roofs, fogging taillights, broken control arms, drive units, worn out seats, MCUs, tail bumpers lost in the rain, ... that list goes on.

Japan does this for fiber too. You pay an annual fee for the fiber itself and a separate fee for the ISP to provide the bits.

I've started taking some tutored classes from Preply, that helps.

Watching shows on Netflix, listening to random podcasts also helps.

But bridging this Duolingo-to-fluency gap, that's exactly what I'm trying to explore at the moment with the other projects on https://hn.lingually.ai/. I think AI can give something no other approaches can.

So essentially, I've now got a Chrome extension to get immediate feedback on text I write. Then I have a POC for a text-adventure game to practice chatting with GPT-powered characters (dm me at https://twitter.com/LukasPlatinsky and I can set you up with a link to test). Now the podcast for some content to listen to. I next want to explore some daily short writing prompts with immediate grammar check by AI. Adding Whisper could unlock speaking as well.

Lots of opportunities! Let me know if you're interested in trying any of these out :)
Those can be used? That could be a way around this then, thanks -- I'll investigate (just going on @badsectoracula's comment that phone or key is required, possibly I misinterpreted that).

The correctly qualified sentence should be:

> Wow, that definitely qualifies as a "crown jewel." I, for one, would not look forward to a future in which software running on my hardware is able to hide secrets, like one-off media encryption keys, from me!

That’s incredibly common and so frustrating. The title will be “How do you delete a column from a dataframe?” and then they’ll include a bunch of super specific code and paragraphs of context. The only answer will be “You actually don’t ever use that column. Just don’t add it in the first place.”, which is not an answer to the title question at all.
Covenant was even slightly better than Prometheus. At least the drpid was a nice adition, experimenting like an obsessed crazy scientistbtrying to re-create the xenomorphs. And ending up with his own human colony to continue experimentation was nice, new touch.

Prometheus was, as you said, a combination of incompetence (in film) and some steange views on evolution and the source of life (out of film). Especially the latter rubbed me in the wrong way, because it was just unnecessary for the plot. And hell, that the planet was literally a neighbor of LV-426, really? Just why?

Heck, I liked AvP and AvP 2 better, at peast the last one could have easily been set in space, with the smallntown being some unsuspecting colony in the Amercan Arm or so. And Predators woupd be such a nice explanation why you find Xenomorphs all over the place, once the Engineers went extinct.

Oh, and the black goo. Still no idea what that was good for anyway. Create or destroy life? And if so, why? It did serve as the basis for a really well written RPG adventure, Chariot of Gods. One I'd love to see as a movie actually. Or Destroyer Of Worlds, also a good basis for a script.

Thinking of it, one thing I like about good RPGs is the world building. While movies canbget away with whatever they want, consistency be damned, RPGs, the good ones, need some consistent and good bavkgrpund universe to work. And Alien has, with its RPG, a good basis for that. Pretty sure so, that none of that will be used for the future films.

Dave Feloni and Jon Fabreaubdidba great job in bringing in the good elements of the Star Wars EU, now Legends, into the new canon with Rebels, Mandalorian and Boba Fett. Heck, we get Thrawn's return at the same time (9 ABY) than in the orginal Zahn novels. When you know the old Westend Games stuff, d6, on Tatooine, you see similarities as well.

Edit: The story of Alien:Isolation isn't too bad neither, I have yet to play the game so. Personally, I like the aspect of how different the reactions to those Xenomorphs are. Some want to exploit them, some want to destroy them, some want to bread them. Most don't care about the loss of life involved. A nice view on modern capitalism. Because nobody asked the Xenomorphs how they feelnabout being exploited, they might as well just be happy hibernating in their hive, tending ever so often after their eggs. Plus, it is humans spreading them, Xenomorphs have yet build and pilot space ships.

Apple was ahead of the game though, in that their iPhone/iPod/iPad chargers had a USB-A socket (except for some of the very early iPod chargers which had Firewire 400 sockets), while other phone manufacturers were still using chargers with non-removable cables.

I still use my Apple chargers from the early 2000s, while all the chargers I had for other phones and devices are just e-waste.

Err, just NO. This is largely due to global trade being flat for the past 10 years [1], this is a good proxy to measure real economic growth. Don't believe GDP as an indicator of real growth, they keep on adding fictitious sources to these numbers. Did you know that rent is part of GDP? And even rent that homeowners would have paid to a landlord had they owned their home? [2]

So basically this is just about the world becoming poorer since the 2008 financial crisis (and covid of course).

Also, "not following the worst case scenario" is not really a reason to rejoice, 4.5 degrees is still absolutely terrible.

Also, funny enough the page they link to as a source for "Global CO2 emissions (both fossil and land use) have been relatively flat" has for title "Analysis: Global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels hit record high in 2022" [3]. So, lols.

I could also add that less emissions growth doesn't mean less carbon accumulates in the atmosphere [4]

At some point surely people will realize that forcing the vast majority of people to be either an Apple customer or, worse, a Google product is not a viable design?

Current day mobile devices, infested as they are with the dubious morality and regulatory malpractices that engineered the duopoly are horrible as digital identity providers and 2FA.

2FA is a function that is becoming essential for anybody that wants to participate in a digital life. A widely available and easy to use alternative is not a good to have it is absolutely essential.

The implications of how 2FA is implemented go far beyond lovely PyPI. Entities like banks are deprecating specialized hardware in favor of the mobile. This is insane and odious.

No, that isn't a relevant risk. German car companies are mostly export-oriented. Of course the home market is mostly theirs, but if Germany were to lag behind on EV viability, foreign sales can still be sufficient to create a viable EV business. It would never have been a hard transition anyways, EV production would have been slowly built up while ICE production were ramped down accordingly, just as sales figures guide.

No third parties are involved. You get a secret (often presented in the form of a QR code, but most implementations also have it as text) which you store and generate short-lived secret messages based on that and the current time, which is the code you enter. The server also knows the secret and can verify you sent the correct message. That's pretty much all there is to it.

It's really simple; I once wrote an implementation in Python in 20 lines or so based on just the specification, and I'm not a crypto guy at all. It's probably the simplest crypto systems to implement. Things like "connect your authentication app" make it sound complicated, but all that does is store a short secret in the app.

One clear advantage of this is that a code is only valid for a short period of time (usually a few minutes at the most). I can't re-use the code you used yesterday, and intercepting codes is also much harder as it's much more time-sensitive.

CO2-extraction takes energy though, quite a lot of it. Using energy from fossil fuel for CO2-extraction is worse than doing nothing, since you're never going to extract as much CO2 as is emitted by the power plant. That leaves using clean energy, but clean energy is a limited resource. Using clean energy to replace current uses of CO2-emitting energy is likely going to be more effective than using it to extract the emitted CO2 back out of the atmosphere.
I've written hundreds of thousands of words, possibly millions on various sites including HN, Reddit, blogs, Stackoverflow, forgotten platforms, etc. Doesn't seem right that OpenAI/LLMs can use my intellect but I can't use theirs.

I, for one, really appreciate this move. Supply chain attacks are huge problem, and package repositories are especially at risk. The options provided are very reasonable, and supporting TOTP ensures that even the most hardcore privacy and free-software enthusiasts are included.

As a consumer and maintainer myself, PyPI has had a fair share of issues, but this is definitely not one of them.
What "maybe, maybe not"?
What's very important to note is that a big bulk of the recent reductions have come from picking low-hanging fruits, i.e. by replacing coal with natural gas.

Thanks, i took a look in the page and it looks quite simple. One question i have would be that it mentions:

> TOTP credentials are also based on a shared secret known to both the client and the server

AFAICT this "shared secret" is something that is shared between the service you want to authenticate with (e.g. PyPI) and "you" (your password manager, TOTP client or whatever), right?

In which case i guess this sounds something like it can be done fully locally indeed.

One surprise finding was that a major part of the EV faults were due to the 12v lead acid battery that some EVs (like Tesla) are now shipping lithium replacements for.

For anyone not wanting to press the link/want a summary, this is a course "targeting the advanced undergraduate and PhD level students". It says that "students will build a basic deep learning library, comparable to a very minimal version of PyTorch or TensorFlow, scalable to a reasonably-sized system (e.g., with fast GPU implementations of operations)." It requires knowledge both of C++ and Python.

The professors behind this course is Tianqi Chen and Zico Kolter, both assistant professors at Carnegie Mellon.

Sounds like an interesting course, like that they aim for the students to build their own Deep Learning library. It feels like a logical step for anyone wanting to get a deep understanding of this topic.

Divide and Conquer.

Break your problem into a set of smaller problems. Then partition this set of problems into tractable and intractable subsets. The definition of tractable and intractable can change over time, but must be precise and computable.

Start addressing the tractable problems and show progress. For intractable problems, research effort is required and the costs must justify benefits.

Let us say 60% of your customers are facing issue type A, 30% are facing issue type B, 10% are facing issue type C. Issue type B has a workaround/known solution whereas issue type A and C don't have obvious solutions. Instead of getting stuck with working on issue type A, you and your customers will be better off if you worked on and deployed the solution for issue type B. That is better than the status quo.

This is not really true for most long haul flights though, even the ones to Asia if you take economy class. At this point you are just paying for the speed of intercontinental travel over oceans and unstable regions, which obviously buses and trains can't compete with currently. The only situation where a flight is notably more comfortable than a bus or train is business class and first class on a handful of long haul routes of certain Asian airlines.
