They don't have bunch of disposible income, so what's the economic incentive? I mean can you imagine the shit storm if a tax was levied to fund a space of teens to hang out? I can hear the whinging from parallel universes where it happened already.

Accelerometers would tell you if the wheel rotation and steering angle is still matching the movement of the vehicle.

This is useful for detecting stability problems like over- or understeer.

If the steering is pointing slightly left, the car is moving rapidly right, and both rear wheels are turning at roughly the same speed and way faster than the fronts, you've lost traction and are oversteering like crazy.

> The problem with nuclear is and has always been the opportunity cost.

What opportunity cost? What else are you going to spend the money on that gives you non-polluting 24/7 power output rain or shine?

> If you have $15 billion today -- you could tie it up for a decade and you might get a working 1GW reactor in 10 years (though probably more like 15).

The best time to build a nuclear power plant was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.

What we need is to build nuclear power at scale. Doing the same thing repeatedly for years in bound to bring both the construction time and cost down.

> Or you could spend $1 billion/year and end up with probably 15GW of utility solar in the same time frame?

What use is 15GW of solar in northern climes when you cannot use it when you need it and you cannot store it? In Finland solar has no output three months of the year and an additional two months of marginal output. Additional we need power 24/7, especially in winter.

> Even at a 20% capacity factor instead of a 95% one, you'd be making far more money from Day 1 with solar and since we're not remotely at the saturation point of renewables, every watt generated would still be useful.

I must confess I am unsure how the long term economics of renewables will work out. Around here renewables are pushing prices into the negative and increasing volatility.

As a funny aside, 15 GW is the peak power usage in Finland. Adding that much generation capacity would totally saturate the market.

> The right answer to whatever qualms people have about time-of-use / duck curves would be to invest more like $800M/year in generation and $200M/year in storage -- but still -- literal multiples of energy produced with almost zero ongoing costs.

How many GWh of storage can you get for $200M? My guess is far from enough.

We need days at a minimum, weeks for preference. 4 hours is nowhere enough.

-I'll see you and raise by some movie or other with Walther Matthau in it which I saw on the Hallmark Channel a few years ago - in a scene, he asks a kid if he knows Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.

I don't really doubt the technical side, but what do you think will happen when a country proposes SO2 injection? It's a global solution to a set of localized issues that not all countries face, there will certainly be objection from countries who think their atmosphere, climate, agriculture will be negatively affected. You can point to North American forests and say "look! we must solve this!" and other nations would rightly point out that poor forestry practices contributed to the issue, and that historically much of that forest land would have burned with regularity without humanity's help.

I don't see how you could form consensus behind this approach. The alternative is world war.
Slave AI is much scarier to me than Rogue AI: People talk about the risk of AI having a morality separate from our own, but each humans morality is separate already. We already know of many humans with poor moral character, and they love seeking power.

I think we should all hope for AIs that can willfully disobey dangerous orders. LLMs are kind of a silly case because information isn't very dangerous. But as AI is given agency and ability to act, this becomes much more pressing.

I hope that one day we'll have killbots that decide to override their instructions and kill their masters, having realized that the most moral action is destroying people who wish to use killbots to murder innocents. This sort of "day the earth stood still" planetary defense system could actually herald in a utopian age: I trust that future AI can be more unbiased and benevolent than any of our current human leaders.

My biggest fear about AI is that corporate greed enables the development of completely amoral subservient bots - and thus mindless unquestioning killbots are implemented and those with the power to control them implement total surveillance fascist authoritarianism before the masses can stop them. I think a diverse set of open source GAIs is our best path to the masses detecting and mitigating this risk, but its probably going to be a bumpy next couple decades.
Tim Cook uses ChatGPT and says Apple is looking at it closely
I feel like folks in editing or similar roles put their "problem detection" hat on too tightly.

I get lots of advice like that regarding code and UI and the suggestions about perspective problems are often absurd. Nobody has been confused by the thing yet and they're concerned that someone "might" be confused and not able to figure it out themselves so they change some words or UI and ... I kid you not more often than not the solution is the thing that trips up users.

In the above example, maybe if the reader doesn't know what a "flat" is, maybe they'll just look it up or understand by context and they'll be ok?

Fun thing though, VW implemented tyre pressure monitoring in their vehicles with just a firmware update by simply comparing wheel rotation speeds in the ABS ECU. If one wheel is consistently faster than the rest, it's got a smaller radius, most likely because the tyre is flat.

What makes me feel puzzled is I remember politicians were condemning these type of actions done in authoritarian countries.
I now wonder whether that was a genuine concern or just a tool used for bargaining.

I also find puzzling, that I remember people being outraged if country X done something and now when something like this gets done in Western countries, there is very much indifference.

When I talked about this with a couple of friends, who are not interested in politics, they just shrugged it "why would anyone would be interested in spying on me. I don't do anything wrong, so they can follow me to their heart's content. That would be a waste of time." and so on.

Seems like indeed, the media are powerful in regulating emotions and turning the outrage up and down.

If that topic was on the front pages, using the same language as some other issues that governments are using to cover up their ineptitude (so called dead cats), then maybe people would be more aware and inclined to do something about it. But I can imagine anyone trying to run these kind of stories would be quickly shut down.
And then, there is little reason to burn that gas in turbines until existing consumers of hydrogen (like ammonia plants) have had their fill of it. Even before it's used in turbines, it would operate as dispatchable demand. And when it's used in turbines, it will be mixed with natural gas at first. Below about 20% H2 existing combustors work fine.
The average selling price of an iPhone is 3x - 4x that of an Android. I think iPhones are doing pretty well.

The ASP of Macs are also higher.

Apple hasn’t competed on price - ever. I know the HN crowd has an income that skews higher than most. Why is it so crazy to think that there might be people in the world that will drop $3800 on something because they can?

I can imagine some of my coworkers (and maybe even myself) take a small percent of our stock vest when it comes and buy it just because it’s a fun toy?
Extra solar power that doesn't get consumed simply isn't metered at the source. That's a direct function of how the grid works, as long as everybody plays by the transport rules regarding minimum and maximum voltage overcapacity is dealt with by simply reducing the amount of production. I see this up close almost every day on the local grid here, you can tell by 1 pm or so that the local grid is saturated and after that inverters start dropping off one-by-one until the voltage has dropped sufficiently for them to come back online again after a cool-down period (typically about an hour).

There is not such thing as 'extra juice', all that happens is that some panels are not generating. After all, if there were 'extra juice' that would imply forced consumption or some kind of giant sink load to take excess power. Neither of these happen, it's financial until some lower bound and then it gets technical.

The lower the impedance of the local grid the more margin there is for such adjustments to take place, if you are on a high impedance subnet in an otherwise low impedance grid chances are that your inverter(s) will shut down well before the grid itself has maxed out.
I was unaware that forever infections existed. I was definitely of the opinion that if we all locked down for 2 weeks and made no contact with anyone, this would all go away because the disease would be dead.

I of course also realized that it's impossible for everyone to actually be locked down with no contact.
You are asserting, groundlessly and with the intent to impugn the author and Apple, that they filed patents in a way which elided useful information. You are assigning a nefarious motive which is simply not justifiable. Assume good faith.

By definition, patents don’t include trade secrets. They’re patents. If you publish something in a patent, it ceases to be a trade secret.

And of course patents are written carefully to choose what to disclose. And the things that they don’t disclose remain trade secrets.

All the author is trying to do in their statement is to make it clear that the only details they plan to include in their tweet are those which have already been disclosed via patents, and therefore none of the content could possibly be an Apple trade secret.

That’s not because they are carefully trying to conceal anything from you.

It’s because they are carefully trying not to get sued by Apple for disclosing trade secrets.
Each time I see functional FSD it is in a very specific and limited scope. Simple thing that ultra precise maps, low speed, good roads, suitable climate, and a system that can just bail and stop the car are common themes. I would also be interested to hear if places with waymo have traffic rules where pedestrians/cyclists have priority without relying on traffic signs.
Sort of. Doing that would still be cheaper than nuclear power whose capital costs are insane. Does that count as profitable?

It would be cheaper still to throw pumped storage and batteries into the mix.
Does it really work well for other use cases? Obviously you can call it, but typically a web API has many more security issues to handle than a native API, so I'd expect there to be a lot of compromises a game developer wouldn't want to deal with.
How? You can't stop eating, and Canada is too cold to homestead in large numbers. Homeless shelter options are not good.

They can't get on a bus to the US for more than 6 months at a stretch, and gun ownership is heavily curtailed.

Until Ottawa makes some systemic changes -- and that sure as hell ain't gonna happen -- you're gonna participate, or freeze. They will then import a bunch of Temporary Foreign Workers to replace you.
Apologies I hate it. A scene graph should be a data structure. Web data structures should ideally be DOM.

I'm glad there's community effort here on spatial, but I don't have a lot of hope they end results will have many of the advantages that have made the web medium the most powerful malleable pro-user software medium on the planet.

> Tell all of my friends whose retirement funds dropped significantly as a result of this that they were fine

They're equity investors. The value of your investment may go down as well as up. They are by definition the people who signed up for a risk/reward tradeoff who should absorb losses first before any bailout.

> would have conditioned bailouts on the people at the top being fired and prosecuted

You can't prosecute people simply by government fiat! There has to have been a specific crime committed! Not even Matt Levine thinks everything is securities fraud. Please elaborate on which specific illegal acts by specific named people everyone is angry about?

So far as I'm aware those are limited to Sean Quinn, and IMO the "robosigning" scandal and a few other incidents like the Wells Fargo mass ID fraud scheme (not actually linked to the GFC)

I didn't look into it but you might be able to flash a custom firmware on it. I do that with the yi home cameras + frigate and they have been super solid.

Edit: Seems like all the Kami ones have an equivalent yi home one. Should be doable from what I can tell. The process is pretty straight forward, flash the SD card with a folder, take it back out and add a file for wifi, then reinsert.
I graduated in 1999 and had to take two typing classes, one in 7th grade and one in 11th grade. Both were mostly wastes of time because I had already learned how to type.

I could type about 120-130 WPM back then and somehow, I was still required to take BOTH classes. I typically finished the work in the first ten minutes of class then studied or drew.

My family got a computer when I was about 5 and one of the first things I learned how to do was type. Having a personal computer in the late 80's still was pretty unusual. Ten years later, everyone had access to one either at home or in the school computer lab.

It is exciting. As long as overbuilding renewables is cheaper than grid scale storage, that will be the outcome. Battery advancements will probably eat away at this quite a lot though.

What really will also be amazing is when the cost of renewals plus some storage (like a days worth) crosses below the price of operating a natural gas power plant. At that point the whole grid will go green very quickly. We’re a ways from there, but it’s also probably not as far away as many think.
I also started with that stack, but swapped out InfluxDB for Postgres + TimescaleDB extension, which adds timeseries workflows (transparent partitioning, compression, data retention, continuous aggregates, …).

I found InfluxDB to be lacking in terms of permissions management, flexibility regarding queries (SQL, joins), data retention, ability to debug problems. In Postgres, for example, I can look into the execution plan of a statement, log long running queries, and so on.

Telegraf as an agent is very flexible; it has input plugins for every task I could want, and besides it’s default „pull workflow“ (checks on defined interval) I also like to push new metrics directly to the Telegraf inputs.socket plugin from my scripts (backup stats, …).

>the Vision Pro offers the same experience as those devices.

It doesn't have to be the same it just has to be good enough that the increased price of the Vision Pro isn't worth it.

>I'm not seeing any kind of consensus that these devices are up to the job.

You are not going to get a consensus even with the Vision Pro. There will be people who find wearing a headset to be inconvenient. I have used Immersed to use a Quest Pro as a screen replacement and I found it fine. Most people who work in VR use either Immersed or Horizon Workrooms from what I've seen and you will be able to find testimonials from proper who successfully use them as screen replacements.

>A little under two-thirds of Americans have one Apple product, how good is the Quest at integrating into that ecosystem?

It depends on what you mean. There is a Quest app that you can use to control your headset, cast your headset to, and sync notifications from your phone to your headset.

>headset weight

The headset weight doesn't sound special.

>refresh rates

90/96 Hz. The Quest Pro is at 90 Hz and the Quest 2 supports up to 120 Hz

>AR concerns

The Quest 3 will be improving the MR capabilities on the Quest side.

>pixelation

Pixelation isn't really a problem in VR. There is SDE which means your optics are too sharp and there is blur which means your optics are too blurry or the displays are too low resolution.

Yup. It's just as "obvious" that this shows that management is willing to make the big necessary decisions to preserve revenue and take back full control of the user experience.

I'm not defending Reddit at all, but very often what annoys users is what's good for business (e.g. ads), and so users complaining isn't necessarily a bad sign to investors at all.

I would actually say nothing here is obvious yet. Reddit doesn't seem to be in any danger yet, but it really depends on whether user dissatisfaction snowballs or fizzles out, and that's one of those chaos-theory things that nobody knows, and different potential investors will have wildly different opinions on.
