Computers like Commodore 64 or Sinclair Spectrum were relatively affordable and available in the 80's. They disappeared in the early 90's (replaced by PC compatibles), that answer is only a few years off.
Utilities are actually incentivized to charge more per kwh in order to capture profits at an allowed percentage of that kwh. That really serves nobody but the shareholders of the private utilities, and it certainly does not serve the poorer customers. The poorer customers would be served by the fastest move to renewable energy, as pollution from fossil fuel generation also disproportionately affects their health due to placement of generation in their neighborhoods disproportionately.

I found this podcast interesting in terms of lower cost technical solutions as well as community control of their own microgrids, but it's really unclear how to push back private utility lobbying to get there.

> Overall, the relatively higher intra-host diversity among vaccinated individuals and the detection of immune-escape mutations, despite being rare, suggest a potential vaccine-induced immune pressure in vaccinated individuals.
Thank you very much for the link.

I don't see an answer in there, though.

They use tagging (as described also here: https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/code-navigation-sy...). From both docs I assume `tree-sitter tags` works out of box for any language that has a parser. (Since neither doc instructs to save a custom config for tag extraction query, I assume every language plugin provides tagging queries).
It was originally about "strong bones and muscles".

Interesting! Never noticed that before. I'll check it out thank you.

I can explain it for you: when you start writing a long complicated legal agreement, you never start from scratch. You almost always ask your lawyer to prepare the first draft and they take another agreement that's similar to the one you want and find-replace the names and modify a few parts of it. The early draft is never anything close to what you want and the hard work is hammering it into shape.

The document that they circulated was clearly a bunch of boilerplate. They assumed (wrongly) that the wider audience would have the same understanding and view of it that they did: that it was an early draft, subject to change. But the internet is not capable of such nuance.
> CCS 1 and 2 don’t exist anywhere in the same area, right? I know we have 1 in the US and Europe users 2.

That's correct. Combo 2 is European and the top part is a mennekes connector instead of J1772.

My point is that as long as you need 2 standards, one for North America and one for Europe, there's no benefit to the North American standard being CCS1 over NACS.

Because of the pervasiveness of NACS at this point, it is easier to just adopt it than to force CCS1 on Tesla.

There is already confusion with CHAdeMO, J1772, NACS, and CCS. J1772 can easily charge using AC NACS destination chargers for the cost of a $100 adapter. CHAdeMO will be killed off with the last gen Leaf. It's all the new CCS1 EVs that will be problematic.
It’s been a long time since I read it, but Social Construction of What? was a great book, philosophy at its best, in my opinion: lending clarity and rigor to concepts that reach into law, psychology, medicine, ethics, and the every day.
Yeah, actuaries look at statistics and determine relative financial risks and benefits of a particular course of action. In the example I gave, the course of action is "remake 'The Hidden Fortress' as a space sci-fi fantasy movie" and the actuaries plug in various values for copyright and intellectual property lawsuit risks and costs, potential revenue from the new movie and give predictions for what level of copying (or other risky behavior) is acceptable to reduce costs below the projected revenue without risking a costly lawsuit. Or maybe they just recommend buying the rights as cheaper than the potential cost.
What a travesty they would have to pay some money to sell something worth much more. Poor them.
Never cared that much for Hanks as an actor. I recognize that he's had tons of critical acclaim but he just doesn't do much for me.

Of the ones I've seen, the only Hanks movie I really like is The Money Pit.

> How do these issues even exists in 2023?

As long as the core developpers of the new platform live and work on the US west coast, any issue non relevant to the US will be a second class citizen, mostly dealt with after the product is deemed stable.

The same way OpenAI operates in english first and other language systems will be improved "later".

It's not a jab on the devs, I realistically can't see any other approach. Just another angle where there's no free lunch and more investment is needed building systems that aren't US first if we care about non-US needs being met in a timely manner.

> it was never hacked and made to run on other ARM platforms.

Barring Corellium[0], of course.

My first instinct is that any company with the resources to make such a thing could tell it wouldn't last long. Petty copyright violations go over pretty smoothly in China all the time, but any attempts to go international would get them sued out of the market. It would also stand to sabotage Apple's investments in Chinese success, which is a no-go for any domestic business. It wouldn't surprise me if the PRC shut down some iOS hacker hopefuls to maintain their contract and keep things civil.

The problem is now it seems like all I hear about on HN in terms of Rust is drama. It’s unfortunate as I really like the language.
>Everytime on groups that share a userbase with Reddit, and on YouTube, you get haters. You don't know who, you don't know why, they just downvotes and burry your comment and they're not able to comment back.

I mean, this is exactly how HN works in any controversial thread.

Bayesian statistics is dumb. What's the point of using prior assumptions that are based on speculation? It's better to admitting your lack of knowledge, not jumping to conclusions without sufficient data, and processing data in an unbiased manner.
How many big corps in the US (I live in the US so that’s my reference) are doing engineering hardware rotation at sub-2 years? Most are likely to be 3.
I experienced that and enjoyed electronics because I had far more power to create physical things that I found exciting. If you're into making gadgets and machines and robots and all that, computers weren't enough on their own or even any use at all.

Nowadays, it's a bit murkier because you can use single board computers with pre-made modules for interfacing with the real world and assemble a gadget with almost no application of electronics knowledge and mostly just software.

It might have helped that I didn't have any of the latest computers and electronics in the 80s so it was empowering to see that I could make things at a similar level of technology to the old 2nd hand and cheap commercial products I had around. I remember being very disappointed with digital watches because they were so opaque having an inaccessible COB blob doing all the interesting work.
In most non-profit organizations, in the absence(s) of leadership or courage, most of the time the more sociopathic, unreasonable, and stubborn people tend to glom onto power while the opposite move on.
>Does private ownership always short-change customers, like the subtitle insinuates?

Corporations literally only have one goal, to generate the maximum profit for shareholders.

By definition profit is money not spent on making services better.
> PE running these would be the government running them (see Canada).

I know there were a lot of problems in the Canadian system caused by or exposed by Covid, but weren't the worst of them private companies in some sort of private-public deal not, as your wording suggests, the government running them?

I may be misremembering. Somewhat like the US state-to-state variability, province-to-province is quite different also I suspect.
Surprisingly enough, it's even simpler than that. You can trivially access a direct URL that serves the entire video or audio (they're served as different files).

Just open up DevTools, look for requests to googlevideo.com, find the request with the video or audio (i.e. content-type response of either video/mp4 or audio/webm), copy the entire request URL, remove the range parameter entirely, open the link, and voila!

Your timing is a bit off--electronics went down in the early 90s.

It was microprocessors and then the IBM PC that dented electronics.

Note the difference in Popular Electronics from 1976 to 1982 to 1993:

Eletronics went from "components only" to "components and software" and that's much more difficult. You can't just "tinker" anymore once software enters the picture. There's an extra abstraction level that requires a lot more work with no reward to get over and that unfortunately filters a lot of people out.
One reason is complexity: with a computer it is easy to go more and more complex, while with electronics it is not - one is very limited in what you can build without going to pay a lot on parts and equipment and even then you are still limited in what you can do.

And there is the limitation in what you can do with it: with a computer you can do various apps (like a notepad, phonebook), some music (Commodore 64 SID was limited, but still fun), some graphics, games etc. With electronics you can do ... how much?

And the time spent on playing games means less time to play with electronics. Time is limited.
Wasn't the XP source code leaked some time ago?

Lua’s arrays can start at index 0 if you like, there’s no real reason why the first line wouldn’t work.

Starting at 1 is a convention:

array = {“hello”, “world”}

print(array[1]) —- displays “hello”

array[0] = “why”

array[2] = “there”

for i=0,2 do print(array[i]) end —- “why” “hello” “there”
> It might not be wise to accuse people of having an "agenda"

It would be wise to read the comment more carefully before replying. I explicitly did not accuse or suggest anyone of having an agenda, unlike the person I responded to.

> The debate around culpability is vast, nuanced and cannot be settled with reductionist claims like "Churchill was the reason millions died".

I had stated "Churchill's active role in causing the famine" and linked to a guardian article headlined "Churchill's policies contributed to 1943 Bengal famine". There is plenty of supporting evidence supporting both statements in the linked article. If you disagree, I'd be happy to see your supporting evidence, as opposed to unsubstantiated accusations of reductionism.
I feel that this change served creators (too): Long-running channels transform over time, in production value, niche, style, messaging, etc. Creators want you to look at this new image instead of their old one.

(Imagine looking through your old vs new social media posts... which would the current-you agree with more?)
honestly I hope not long. I could not care less about what random people like or dislike, what they comment on videos, or anything else. what's next is a great feature since I put on a song and it plays something similar next. a TV channel is the perfect use case for youtube, where instead of selecting a channel like on TV, you select a channel by type of video you first play.

sidenote: I had no idea youtube had likes or dislikes until I read this post. I have however, used youtube to, you know, play a video and look at that video. I have zero idea about other components of the site, outside of the video playing, and a list of what's next. I've used youtube since before it was owned by google.

now I don't know if I'm the target demographic, but it seems to me like youtube is doing the right thing and focusing on it's core feature while removing screen spam. and w/ ublock, I haven't seen an ad on there in a decade.

Pico-8 fantasy console uses Lua (a subset of; with Pico-8-specific console APIs). I keep going back to it in my personal projects time and again. I always think, "OK, I'm going to build the next thing in C" and wind up falling back to Pico-8 and Lua.

The in-the-works Picotron will grow from Pico-8's roots and present a full fantasy computer, with an OS, windowing system, etc. and expands Lua support to the full v5.4 language.
Inspired by this, in my PhD we actually used a quantum computer to do classical logic to investigate if that can lead to energy savings [1]. Quantum machines are (in principle) reversible, so they may avoid Landauer's principle.

However, there are subtle energy costs that you can hit before getting to Landauer's. The most interesting to me is that the qubits can become entangled with the wires that control them! This reduces the quality of information, and one way around it is to use a lot of energy [2].

These are impossible without a legal precedent to make adversarial interoperability legal again. While it was never explicitly made illegal, copyright law and the CFAA have successfully been used to curtail it.

Software that wraps common services such as YouTube/Facebook/Twitter/etc and added its own features on top (such as custom recommendations, etc) is routinely attacked and taken down. That's why there are no mainstream alternative clients for any of those services.
A 1k USD conference is not worth it for a job IMO. These conferences are pricey because they are good places for people to achieve sales.

If you want to go the conference route for networking, instead you should like at cheap-but-sponsored tech conferences. Often there are people on the lookout for potential hires at the various talks/booths. You can chat up the people giving the talks and they will connect you.

Also, as more general advice, I recommend Arc (https://arc.dev/). They're a great place for consulting gigs as well as long term hiring.

io_uring was made primarily for filesystem operations and is most optimized for that use case. Other file descriptor types have to be explicitly handled by the kernel side of the io_uring implementation, and while network calls are among those that have been, they still all require different handling in some cases.

Ask HN: Do early-stage startups post ghost job openings?
I recently came across an "open" job application at a startup, which was a form to submit your resume so the startup can build a pipeline of candidates for later, when they're ready to hire.

This led me to wonder, are some of the posted job opportunities at startups ghost openings just for pipeline building i.e. no intention to immediately hire but for later, provided a funding round materializes?

Please share if you know something about this, either as a job hunter or startup hiring manager.

You're positing the existence of a whole society around Hawking, up to and including a pharmaceutical supply chain, where the correct way to think about it would be Hawking waking up alone on a cat planet.

This an amazing opportunity to develop our capabilities and deliver real value to earth at the same time. Geo-engineering on this scale is not without its risks but the pay off could be huge. We could buy time to lower our carbon emissions without huge economic impacts.

If we get lunar mining up and running that opens up a world of space based resources at far cheaper than anything we could launch from earth. With a mass driver and solar power we could avoid the need for propellants for launch.

Once you have an economic reason to be up there getting there will become much cheaper. That will enable a new wave of scientific exploration.
Illinois to Become First State to Ban Book Bans
I was an old YouTube "Paid" subscriber. I can't remember what it was before "Red" or even if it was a thing? Anyway it's been quite a while. The dislike removal annoyed me but the straw was the whole "Shorts" thing.

My subscription feed almost 10x'd overnight to the point that it had no value. I started unsubscribing from the "short" spammers which were genuinely good channels and this got my subscription feed as to be very little. Not enough to be worth paying for so I cancelled.

I put the money to Audible now.

I find it staggering that youtube didn't know I was a paid member as far as a product. I wasn't allowed to filter shorts. I was still (before) Sponsor Block being fed in-video ads. So the only thing they ended up offering me was a very limited paid UBlock/SponsorBlock experience which is already free. I don't think I have actually lost anything by not paying "premium".
You can lose money in options, which means the EV can be negative. E.g. you leave the company and are forced to exercise or abandon the options. If you exercise, the company can stay private until you die or liquidate at less than what you paid.

Profit maximization is the overarching objective. Customer dissatisfaction, complaints, fines etc is only a problem if it starts eroding profits.

Businesses have developed countless mechanisms to be able to survive client backlash.

Oligopolies and cartels is a major trick. Competition highlights poor performers. Not good for business.

Uninformed customers is another biggie. Hence, fight consumer protection mechanisms, limit disclosure etc.

Finally, regulatory capture, eg fixing the rules of the game so that legally there is no recourse.

So, yeah, in some ideal world in which economists win Nobel prizes arguing the optimality of the corporate structure you'd be right.

We dont live in that ideal world.

That sad thing is that, obviously, profit maximizing private enterprize, just like the public sector itself, are indispensable organizational units.

Until we learn to tame them we will be paying the price.
