in science, if you make a prediction from a hypothesis, conduct a test, and what you predicted is borne out, that's not nothing; for example, if you look at historical records and hypothesize a reappearance of, I dunno, let's call it Halley's comet, and decades later Halley's comet reappears, why... they might name the comet after you!

Let’s be real, the world view informing this sort of carceral idea typically only has one solution, and usually it’s a “final” sort of one.

The goal is not to get rid of the homeless in the city, it’s to “get rid of them.” And -consciously or unconsciously- at its core, the goal is to have a group of weak people who are easy to oppress.

The rhetoric hasn’t basically changed in 90 years. It’s disgusting and frankly I’m shocked to see this sort of talk on HN.

:( A bit uncharitable IMO. What word would be better, you think, for "we'll give you a bunch of free resources, connect you with peers and industry leaders, run a contest for even more resources, and give your project a big publicity boost?"

It's not like "startup accelerator" has a scientific, stable meaning. And yeah, it's marketing - they're a for-profit firm. It's marketing for all the companies involved.

Windows 10 has at least two styles. One where the arrow is a triangle and the other it's a chevron (as in the example). System 8 (and Next) were odd in the up and down arrows were on top of each other. That works for the initial scroll or if there is only one scroll movement, if there are more than one in a given direction, it becomes annoying (if you're using a mouse on the arrows to move the bar).
The answer to your question is "no," because there are a significant number of people who feel that they are more productive in Ruby than in any other language. My organization has a large repository of Ruby scripts for doing manual tasks, created by somebody who felt exactly that way.

It's unfortunate for my company, because it would have been better if this functionality had been incorporated in our Scala services codebase, but it gives me the perspective of having used Ruby and Scala in the same system, on the same problems. My personal opinion, predating this experience but strengthened by it, is that dynamically typed languages have lost most if not all of their appeal in the face of improvements to statically typed languages.

In the 2000s, I often used the escape hatch of Boost Python and Jython to make myself more productive when working with C++ and Java codebases. I could get things done so much faster in Python that it was worth the awkwardness of dealing with language interop. These days, I don't bother. I can write quick, small, readable scripts in the same statically typed language that I use for large-scale programming.
Not sure I like the "I know better" attitude of the LLM in this case. What other function response the LLM is likely to discard?
> Versus the love they're getting from the populace now?

Right. So they're getting no love in either place. So why is this better?

> San Francisco is three quarters of the way towards spending its median income on its homeless

The median income in Willard is $26,000, so how far do we think that's going to go?

But like you say, there's no love in either place, so moving these people from San Francisco to Willard (I know, hypothetical) has very little to do with what's best for them, but instead "what's best for the residents of SF". Nothing much changes except SF residents don't see them and don't pay for them now.
I will pay more for a longer lasting bulb. I'm so tired of buying junk. But I won't pay for something sold by Walmart which claims to be longer lasting but in reality is either just lying or has a host of disclaimers and no warranty. And it's impossible for consumers to tell the difference, and I haven't discovered any companies posting engineering shibboleths (like an actual datasheet or real no-BS warranty) that make me believe them any more than I believe Walmart.
If there is a screen to the right you cant even push the pointer against the edge of the screen. I imagine at least some people must be using the scroll wheel to scroll 1000 pages down. Spending quality time with the interface.

Interestingly, the interest rate charged seems to be 0.09% [1]. That's infinity percent when annualized!

Either I'm missing something, or this specific implementation isn't priced correctly/rationally – competition should drive the rate for this down to exactly zero (no risk because there is no chance of losing money; no opportunity cost because the "lending" party loses use of their capital for zero units of time).

In fact, some other blockchains/smart contracts do seem to price this capability at 0% [2].

I do entirely get this, but I also think it's a little disingenuous for some to act like their consideration is any more about what's best for that homeless population, versus what's best for those residents.
Even before trackpads were good enough, scroll wheels were a thing (and I still prefer them). Your dismissive "mostly a progress indicator" is burying the lede: yes, I've seen scrollbars as primarily progress indicators for more than a decade now, and I'm still irritated when they're not there!

(They're also useful to quick-jump to a specific portion of a page or to scan very quickly without swiping a million times, but those aren't as important as their progress-indicator function most of the time.)
…right

What is the point of inserting politics into an argument like that? You instantly lose 50% of your audience and the only upside is some smug feeling from virtue signaling.

Have you tried posting in https://www.reddit.com/r/aws/?
The USA quotes AC capacity, costs and power.

So a 100MW plant in the US quoted at $110 million including the cost of finance, profit margin, regulatory compliance, insurance and transmission with a capacity factor of 27% has 130MW DC of modules. Some other countries will quote DC so there may be a discrepancy. You can find harmonized comparions in things like the IRENA generation costs report, the ITRPV or the frauenhofer photovoltaics report. The US is also almost all single axis tracking where other countries may have fixed tilt as dominant.

New fixed tilt utility solar in 2023 is about 50-60c/Wdc or 80c/Wac. Single axis is about 70c/Wdc or $1/Wac.

The chinese nuclear project doesn't include inflation since 2008 (40%), cost of finance/escalation, chinese-government-accounting, or insurance. The (admitted) costs per watt of the chinese nuclear program have also increased substantially since 2008. Even with these, the claimed capex per MWh is comparable to solar in the west, but the O&M would make it much more expensive. Solar in china is 20-50% cheaper than the west.

Similarly costs for older nuclear plants in the US tend to exclude the cost of finance/escalation, as well as costs that were paid after they were "finished" due to upgrades needed for reliability (early capacity factors were <50%) and safety due to lessons learnt in incidents like browns ferry.

In the west O&M is about $30/MWh, which overlaps with the all-in cost of solar.

Also note that the cost of the Turkey facility you mentioned includes a factory which will produce many times more modules.

Sorry to hear. Thankfully I've been lucky in that most of the project managers that I've worked with tended to focus on the things that are blocking their technical staff from completing their work, and those blocks get put on the project managers task list to be unblocked.

The non-lab-leak coincidence required:

1. They made a mistake in the lab, exposing themselves to a virus (not covid-19)
2. That virus was non-human-transmissible
3. The exposure happened 1-several weeks before the actual start of covid-19 at the market

That's not impossible, especially if the lab was sloppy and (1) happened fairly regularly.

Given the early concentration of cases around the market, and the detection of covid-19 on market materials, the lab-leak coincidence seems to be:

1. They made a mistake in the lab, exposing themselves to covid-19
2. They nearly-immediately went to the market, and spent significant time there to get the place loaded up with the virus
3. They didn't go much of anywhere else
4. They didn't interact much with others at the lab

That's not impossible either, but I don't see that lab-leak scenario appears much more likely than the non-lab-leak scenario.

Thanks for the detailed responses. A couple follow up questions. Or I guess two variants on the same deeply held instinct I hold, but maybe I need to expand beyond animal brain thinking?

OK, so real profits (due to a real pricing discontinuity) and no counterparty risk. Fair enough. But beyond that, in my mind it seems like there has to be some way for this trade to either blow up or that it has insane capital maintenance requirements for potential returns.

> "In 2022, more than a decade after Brumbelow’s tests, NHTSA updated its rules. Even then, the agency acted only after the passage of a federal law directing it to do so."

Not going to defend NHTSA here, but it's a good idea to pass laws like this. NHTSA would likely have been sued if they passed the rule. Having a law really cuts down on the lawsuits.

After reading 5th Risk by Michael Lewis, I updated my thinking about government agencies. Government agencies are often quite limited by law and cannot advocate for effective policies. Lawmakers really should be updating rules much more often in consultation with agency scientists and specialists. I feel like we've gotten used to lawmakers not doing the jobs they are elected to.

I also believe that we should have a Greenhouse Gas Administration, and not rely on the EPA and Clean Air and Water Acts to cover CO2.

I got a type-A flu this year in early January, and holy shit was it painful, I hadn't been that sick in 25 years. Some co-workers and relatives also got it (in opposite sides of the Earth!) and reported the same, this year the flu was really strong.

In comparison, I had corona last week and it was a walk in the park (I am also quad-vaccinated, that might have helped).

> Oh, you suppose the authors spent their time writing that for no reason? Your explanation is so incomplete I hardly know where to begin.

No. I am suggesting that you don't need the full rigor of understanding the memory barrier semantics to be able to effectively write multithreaded code correctly. Completeness was never a goal of my explanation; sufficiency was. Furthermore, my focus is on a software memory model, not the hardware memory model.

> Maybe with the fact that doing acquire/release for one value has varying effect (sometimes none) on others, so you'd have to do it separately for all of the many values that might have changed.

You have misinterpreted my words, I think. At no point do I suggest that you should insert an acquire/release for each, individual value. Rather, you need to do an acquire at the beginning of a block of code (wherein you can read and write multiple values) and a release at the end of a block of code, much as you would with a mutex (except it's not necessary that the regions of code actually be mutually excluded from executing on multiple threads). The only requirement is that the store be followed by a release operation that crosses threads to an acquire operation that is followed by a load.

> Then we can move on to the concept of dependent reads, and so on.

I allude to those under the part where I mention "There is a theoretical slight relaxation of the above model that works on most hardware called release-consume in the C/C++ memory model." That you did not pick up on that is perhaps because you yourself are unfamiliar with the release-consume portion of the C/C++ memory model. If you need a refresher, I might point you to the thread where I actually go into why it exists, and why it's not implemented by compilers, here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36059369. (There's a reason I'm not going into it in a facile explanation!)

> Please read the document before you spread more misinformation.

Oh, do trust me, I have read that document, and far more, on memory models. I am not spreading misinformation. Perhaps my word choice and my writing is inartful or oversimplified in the goal of making the topic more accessible rather than seeking to enshrine comprehensive knowledge in thick tomes that many will give up reading. Perhaps you yourself may not be sufficiently informed as to pick up on the specific terminology that I use, which derives from the dominant memory model in use by, well, everybody.

> prices would sink much closer to costs and no one would be making bank

For Apple and AMD, that's not really a problem. Both of them drive considerable (40%+) margins on their products and can afford to drive things closer to the wire.

I also think more competition here would be good (and I do love lower prices) but Nvidia charges more here because they know they can. It's value-based marketing that works, because their software APIs aren't vaporware.

> large corporate use requires H100/A100 and that is what's getting traction.

I guess... you really need a strict definition of "requires" for that to hold true. For every non-"competing with ChatGPT" application, you could probably train and deploy with consumer-grade cards. You're technically right here though, and it invites the conversation around what actually constitutes abusive market positioning. Nvidia's actions here really aren't much different than AMD and Intel separating their datacenter and PC product lines. It's a risky move from a "keeping both users happy" standpoint, but hardly anticompetitive.

If it was available, wouldn't having the actual truth been preferable? I don't get how obfuscation over facts helps anyone.
There is a kernel of truth to this, disproportionate sure, but I think majority is a bit over the top. There are plenty in medicine aware of this, antisocial behavior and toxicity in general, there’s a lot of crying that goes on from medical school throughout training. You can easily have a rich social life throughout training but the process doesn’t effectively filter out the trainwrecks either.

Hey HackerNews! Just wrapped up my internship at Ossillate, where I had the opportunity to work on an amazing open-source project called Packj.

During my internship, I developed the Packj GitHub Action, which helps automate vulnerability reporting in software projects. It was an incredible experience to contribute to this innovative tool that promotes secure coding practices.

To provide more insights, I recorded a video walkthrough of the Packj GitHub Action. Feel free to share your thoughts and feedback!
This has strong intuitive "makes sense" feel but at the same time, I would hesitate to say ALL advertising is valueless. The problem is the cost/benefit, not that there is no benefit.

I still recall tagline slogans "clunk click every trip" (Fmr UK police commissioner Robert Marks, road safety campaign after seatbelts became compulsory in the 70s) And my partner recalls the "dollar song" from Australian decimalisation in the late 1960s. So.. the memetic quality of an Ad and therefore brand recall is very very strong.

When I smoked, I smoked Gauloise for taste, and Benson and Hedges for the Ad imparted sense of self worth. There were perfectly adequate alternate french cigarettes (Gitanes) which I did NOT smoke because the ad did not appeal to me, and there were perfectly adequate alternatives to B&H which I did NOT smoke because they imparted no value to me, assessing my own image. I would not refuse to smoke anyone elses cigarette irrespective of brand, I only observe how shallow was my personal choice determination when picking a brand from 20 or more. And since I gave up smoking in 1984 this is recall from 40 years ago. I have all the B&H adverts in mind. Thats pretty strong branding.

So "doesn't match cost" I could agree. "does not work" would be a stretch too far.

I have spent the last two weeks clicking on "this add does not please me" (for various values) in google for TEMU who are blitzing my non-adblocked feeds. I won't be using TEMU any time soon. The ad worked, to negatively re-inforce me.

Their ads are frankly bizarre. They are entirely SFW objects such as a plastic clip for childrens balloons, or a padded cycle shorts, which have been hyper-sexualised into images which look extremely NSFW. I wonder how they derived these images? I suspect its GPT driven, or A/B tested in young hormone raged men.
Wild. My neighbor just told me this happened to his daughters a couple of weeks ago too. We're in Arizona as well. One daughter got a call from someone claiming they had her sister and demanded a ransom. They used AI to fake the sister talking. Police were called and they went to the other daughter's home and luckily found everything was fine. The police told them this was a small incident compared to what they had dealt with lately. Sounds like this is starting to happen all over.
In a movie, I feel like this chance meeting would ultimately lead to
