It's not hard to keep it in phase. Once it's synchronized it is actually rather hard to not keep it in phase.

Generator spins at 50hz
Motor spins at 50hz

Add load to the motor, it starts slowing down both itself and the generator. Generator governor increases input energy, frequency goes up. Both are in phase all the time.

Remove load, both start spinning faster. Reduce governor to regulate it to 50hz again.

It's a bit harder with inverters but the idea is similar, you follow the grid phase and if you want to send energy to the grid you will be slightly early to the grid phase and if you want to take energy from the grid your phase will slightly lag.
They were on your side all along, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered with the uncomfortable conversation about how they don't think your idea is going to be successful.

Yes, either they have a strong sandbox model or they don't and the appstore won't help either way.

Even if you fail you learn so much in the process. I’ve had many failures in my entrepreneurial career, but during those failures I earned a salary, I had health insurance, and even in the “failure” acquisitions I had jobs despite no shareholder payout.

And now I have way less fear, way more risk tolerance, so much knowledge about things. Taking risks and doing new things is less risky to me because I can always make my own future. I have enough connections and history to take jobs, or raise capital for something new. It might work, it might not, but I’m willing to try and it’s so much more fun. Of course I want the lottery ticket but I’ve had enough singles and doubles to be very comfortable. It required many 60 hour weeks and sacrifices but I feel so alive, all the time.

PJM, the grid operator for the northeastern US, has a "demand response fact sheet".[2]
There are various ways to buy large amounts of power. Big users will have a connection to the pricing system, getting better prices during low demand periods, higher prices during high demand periods, and shutoffs during very high demand periods.

Big power consumers usually pay for power at grid market rates, which vary from hour to hour. So they're tied into both the market system and the control system. This is done via a Curtailment Service Provider.[2] Some of those are power distribution companies, and others are just brokers.

Here's one in California.[3] There's a phone app, a web page, a connection to your meter, and an API for your own load's control system. Large power consumers connect to them, and they connect to the grid operator, which is CAISO for California. Once everything is connected, they can remotely tell your systems to reduce their load and verify that has happened, for which you get a price break.

There's the Peak Load Management Association, which you can join if you buy power by the gigawatt.[4]

Very cool thanks
You're implying that only an OS can provide memory separation between units of execution - at least in .NET AppDomains give you the same protection within a single process, so why couldn't postgres have its own such mechanism?
I'd also think with a database engine shared state is not just in-memory - i.e. one process can potentially corrupt the behaviour of another by what it writes to disk, so moving to a single-process model doesn't necessarily introduce problems that could never have existed previously (but, yes, would arguably make them more likely)

This is disappointing. So nuts are actually lower calorie per dollar than it seemed, so a worse deal than previously expected (for those food shopping on a budget). A 21% drop in the expected calories from walnuts will definitely have me buying fewer in the future.

It is essentially:

- One hidden folder for journal entries

- Each entry is a file of the form YYYY-MM-DD.md

- A bash alias will open today's file (or "yesterday" or "next thursday" or "2 weeks") using the date cli util

- A few vim formatting steps make the already-well-functioning github markdown work very nicely.

Reddit is not forcing apps to shutdown. They are asking them to pay market value for the data

Reddit data is a commodity whose price is set by buyers and sellers. If your business depends on the price of a commodity being under a certain price and that price goes up and your business fails, that sounds like capitalism to me. Reddit has discovered that the value of their data has gone up with the arrival of AI and are asking people to pay accordingly. If you go out of business then you are among the first casualties of AI, , with many to follow. It's time to rethink your business model.
> or the vim-like overhead to learn it properly.

In my opinion, it's somewhat simpler than learning how to do Debian packaging properly (with emphasis on "properly", following all the modern best practices).

Quite a lot of folks that run Nix or NixOS write themselves decent derivations that could be (and frequently are) contributed to nixpkgs (of course, there are a lot of quirks/hacks as well). But I think quite a few folks who run Debian make themselves high-quality packages - e.g. why bother setting up cowbuilder and do the proper repo for gbp with all the pristine-tar branch oddities, when checkinstall does the trick.
I don't think this is about smartphones or being able to swap their batteries on the go. Had a quick look at the 2020 draft and saw zero mentions of smartphones.

Not long ago there was a clear distinction between general computing devices and specialized devices. These concepts still exist in our minds, but while it used to be binary, it's now a spectrum: servers and desktops are at one end, things like smartwatches and e-readers and the touchscreens in our cars are at the other end. Most people feel that video game consoles are clearly specialized devices even though they're quite computationally powerful.

The question is where phones should fall on this spectrum. Steve Jobs strongly felt they should be treated as specialized devices, but as they're now powerful enough to be many people's primary device, attitudes are shifting toward treating them more like the laptops of yore.

FB’s AI head just said LLMs are a fad.

I thought about how to use them… I wish they could render an interface (HTML and JS at least, but also produce artifacts like PowerPoints).

What is really needed is for LLMs to produce some structured markup, that can then be rendered as dynamic documents. Not text.

As input, natural language is actually inferior to GUIs. I know the debate between command line people and GUI people and LLMs would seem like they’d boost the command-line people’s case, but any powerful system would actually benefit from a well designed GUI.
In my experience with local businesses (alt-weekly newspaper for the college / queer bar scene), the same people were starting clubs that lasted for a year or two, then closed, then they started up a new one. It was about trying out a new business plan that may or may not work and if it doesn't, clearing the slate and starting over.

The people who succeeded eventually landed on one with staying power, and the people who didn't eventually gave up. I bring it up to say that a single owner can be responsible for multiple business failures, and like you say, no one remembers those once you're successful.

I had an experience about 10 years ago when I unknowingly jogged in a large park that an armed robbery suspect had just escaped into. I matched the basic description (WM, dark T-shirt) and all a sudden a police officer pops out of the bushes and asks to see my ID. I don't know if anyone was listening on the scanner, though.

Much of the activity I have heard on scanners is mundane: running plates, responding to alarms, ambulance calls, noise complaints, accidents blocking traffic, minor disputes where one side feels compelled to summon the police.

There are the tragedies. Lots of medical calls where someone is unresponsive, which could be anything from an OD to a heart attack. "Domestic calls," usually fights between spouses or parents and adult children. Mental health emergencies. Seniors wandering the street, who have forgotten where they live.

Then there are the serious emergencies: fires, armed robberies, once a car chase. When I first got started decades ago there was a Boston police channel that a gang unit sometimes used but since then they appear to have migrated to a non-public frequency. I frequently hear police now asking specific colleagues to call them, I assume because the info shouldn't be shared over the regular dispatch frequency or would take too long to explain and tie up the channel.

Personally, I think its great to think about protocols and the tech that goes into it... but only because its interesting to me technically.

Some of this kind of sounds like: I have a cool protocol and now Im in search of a problem that I can apply it to. What app should I duplicate first?

You need to flip this around and ask: what kind of service can I build that would deliver new or additional value to users, that is a significant enough improvement that users will switch en mass.

Then go do that, get a bunch of users, and then release your protocol and encourage others to participate.

There's nothing wrong with doing it all in parallel, but the primary problem -- getting users -- is large enough to consume all of your energy.

EDIT: Or become a protocol evangelist... write your protocol, document it well, and start advocating it and explaining the advantages... maybe you can get Lemmy and other platforms to adopt it instead of ActivityPub. You can also write up patches to add support for it to various open source projects. Let them worry about building the remaining parts of solving the social problem... there's definitely room for multiple groups to work on solving this problem together.

I think the important part from the article that establishes the difference is this:

> As I mentioned, in command-based interactions, the user issues commands to the computer one at a time, gradually producing the desired result (if the design has sufficient usability to allow people to understand what commands to issue at each step). The computer is fully obedient and does exactly what it’s told. The downside is that low usability often causes users to issue commands that do something different than what the users really want.

Let's say you're creating a new picture from nothing in Photoshop. You will have to build up your image layer by layer, piece by piece, command by command. Generative AI does the same in one stroke.

Successful Founders – Did you/do you ever feel unemployable?
Hi all,

I’m finding myself at the crossroads of my life, I never really had a plan in life, but somehow stumbled into computers, then programming, then somehow managed to exit a business. I spent a few years “giving back” to the startup communities in the UK, NO & NL then a few years doing Government advisory work.

I’m now finding myself with a CV that makes for interesting reading but is clearly utterly insane for anyone trying to understand “what do you do?”.

I feel like I’ve spent so long solving any and all problems that I have to, that I really don’t know what it is people would pay me for.

Have any of you found yourself in this situation, and have you any tips for me to help me get back in to the world of work?

I don’t need much money, I want to get in to more climate/ethical work, but would take anything to have any structure and to not to be constantly dipping in the savings.

Thank you in advance! Also, HN, remains one of the last happy places of the internet.

I’m UK based, so no longer eligible for EU work as easily, I could potentially relocate, but location matters less than the work I’d be doing.

TIA.

> which noticeably impacts single-threaded performance, which is of major import.

1) I don't buy this a priori. Almost everybody who removed a gigantic lock suddenly realizes that there was more contention than they thought and that atomizing it made performance improve.

2) Had Python bitten the bullet and removed the GIL back at Python 3.0, the performance would likely already be back to normal or better. You can't optimize hypothetically. Optimization on something like Python is an accumulation of lots of small wins.
It doesn't say that everything is contained within the cell walls. Even if they are, a fraction of cell walls will be broken up through chewing and the digestive process.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7015882/

> The bioaccessibility of fat has implications for satiety and postprandial lipidaemia. The prevailing view holds that the integrity of plant cell wall structure is the primary determinant of energy and nutrient extraction from plant cells as they pass through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. However, comparisons across nuts (walnuts, almonds and pistachios) with varying physical properties do not support this view. In the present study, masticated samples of three nuts from healthy adults were exposed to a static model of gastric digestion followed by simulated intestinal digestion. Primary outcomes were particle size and lipid release at each phase of digestion. Walnuts produced a significantly larger particle size post-mastication compared with almonds. Under gastric and intestinal conditions, the particle size was larger for walnuts compared with pistachios and almonds (P < 0·05). However, the masticated and digesta particle sizes were not related to the integrity of cell walls or lipid release. The total lipid release was comparable between nuts after the in vitro intestinal phase (P > 0·05). Microstructural examination showed ruptured and fissured cell walls that would allow digestion of cellular contents, and this may be governed by internal cellular properties such as oil body state. Furthermore, the cell walls of walnuts tend to rupture rather than separate and as walnut tissue passes through the GI tract, lipids tend to coalesce reducing digestion efficiency.
(briefly skimmed it) Surprised no explicit mention of Scala despite the very similar aesthetic and "implicits" (and seemingly implementable in Scala).
