I think this alternate future of a gigantic CCS network is a really long ways off. Have you ever tried to use non-Tesla DC fast charging? It's a mess! There aren't a lot of stalls, one of them is usually broken, and the payment processing is a mess! I thought people were exaggerating until I experienced it first hand. While I think they will eventually get their act together, I don't think it's unreasonable to claim that the terrible DC fast charging experience is a huge deterrent to non-tesla EV buyers right now. This ultimately creates a chicken and egg problem that results in such slow progress in the EV charging world (outside of Tesla.) It's why Tesla's US EV market share is around 60%.

I actually think this is great for Tesla in other ways in the nearer term. With other automakers switching to NACS, this removes a huge concern for would be non-Tesla EV buyers. Now you may think this would erode Tesla's market share, but I think it will convert far more ICE customers than Tesla customers. The net effect is a faster EV adoption, faster cultural acceptance of EVs, and more people considering Tesla in the near-mid term.

I fail to see how this negatively affects Ford, GM, and Rivian. They can retrofit the charge port relatively cheaply or deal with an adapter. Yes, it affects resale value of early customers. But that's how it goes with new technology, and buyers are naive to think otherwise. Besides, when compared to their ICE counterparts, they're probably still coming out ahead on maintenance.
Sharp eyes. I can also see "University of California, Berkeley" near the top of the figure and "UC Berkeley" near the bottom of the figure.

But agreed that the point of this dataset is not accuracy or explanatory power... it's to drive some clicks to a $4.99 Stripe flow and to "an AI powered data-driven market intelligence platform for private growth stage investors". HN loves eating up content-marking.

I'm glad this space is expanding. This is created by the authors of Loft.sh and Devspaces, both really great solutions to the most common problems of developing natively in a K8s cluster.

DevPod is basically Vagrant but with containers, which brings a ton of benefits over the former VM-centric design. You can maintain an entire team (or organization) with one immutable development environment, to get away from the constant toil of fixing random problems on random people's dev environments that happened because they changed something locally and don't have an immutable environment to restore.

The fact that it's self-hosted means you can take it anywhere (your laptop, GCloud, AWS, Azure, etc). Containers means you can save resources or scale it, reuse public containers and container ecosystem tools. Unopinionated means you aren't forced to use one IDE or platform. Open Source means you can read the source to figure out what's going on and hack in a solution if needed.

This one is still early days it seems, as it doesn't run on my Mac (I opened an issue). But the benefits once it works will be incredible. I've been trying to onboard our teams to Devspace, which has its warts [and lack of docs], but is still lightyears better than most other solutions. Once DevPod is stable I'll be looking into moving to it.
I think they just don't care very much about DALL-E.

Which is fair enough, when you are a (relatively) small company competing with the likes of Google and Meta you really need to focus.
It's also part of the dog-and-pony show of self-promotion most companies make you do in order to justify promotion. Being Engineer 1 on a team of 6 that made GreatProductX is never enough. You always need to show what you single-handedly did. So all of a sudden, six different people claim to have "created GreatProductX".

> all accessible through that unassuming search bar at the top.

And there's the problem. Slack also has that search bar, but it also has public activity so you have a chance of knowing what to search for. The discovery process is the public conversations.

> This also drives many of the "barriers" in Teams - you can't expose everyone to everyone else by default, because the CPU (and the notification counter) would have trouble keeping up.

This is just not a problem. If you've got notifications on by default for busy public channels, you're going to have a bad time.

I've lived in South Korea for four years, and the academic class system there is incredibly intense as well. If you didn't get a chance to go to a SKY uni (Ivy League on steroids), you're essentially a different species as far as society is concerned. Whether you get in depends on a single standardized one-day test at the end of your HS journey that seals your fate for life. Have a bad day? Tough. Alternate pathways and wiggle room are close to non-existant.

My wife (who grew up with Korean as her mother tongue, and did well on that test) chose to go to Peking University and did her undergrad (in sociology) in Mandarin, i.e. she spent a couple of extra years beforehand acquiring a foreign language first to be able to speak/write it at college level (and later she added a Master's in Public Policy in English from a European school). At work in Korea this then sometimes got her mobbed for "taking the easy route" vs. attending a SKY uni. It was really crazy given the effort she put in.

Overall, I prefer the more laid-back European (perhaps just German?) every-school-is-decent-on-average-and-really-no-one-cares. Sure, someone will say "it's why you don't have Google" next. Maybe.

I am absolutely baffled by how much negative criticism the whole blockchain industry gets here and I would like to understand the reasoning behind it. Most of the arguments fall into these following buckets concluding to "IT MUST DIE"

1. The whole crypto is a get rich quick scheme with predatory practices everywhere. It's a wild wild west with no sort of regulations. Well, guess what, regulated industry is no different either. If people wants to commit crime, they will commit crime. The whole pyramid and MLM schemes have originated from traditional routes. it's nothing new. And regarding fraud, Did everyone actually forgot about Enron, Bernie Madoff and of course 2008 financial crisis where the almight SEC played a key role handing over billions and billions to these investment banks who knowingly committed fraud and pushed some of the pension funds into bankruptcy and pushed the whole world into recession. What's this fascination towards the old methods even though they repeatedly showed us that they are inadequate

2. I haven't seen a single use case of blockchain in the world yet. This is a valid critic and I do understand. Any decent distributed system engineer will understand that decentralisation is hard. consensus is hard. You know what was hard for almost 25 - 30 years and everyone's losing their shit right now and drinking the cool-aid? The good old AI. No one cared about neural networks until the compute caught upto speed.

Like it or not, we are entering a new phase in the technology where two things will definitely rise to prominence

1. Data is / will become the most essential commodity and I am terrified by the idea that few monopolies with their "don't be evil" facade will control them and become trillion dollar firms. We need to switch the model and reimagine how the internet should work. If anyone calls this paranoid,I am happy to place a bet that in ten years, if nothing is done, we will be living through orwellian future

2. A massive decoupling from US economy. I wonder what people call US economy if they call crypto pyramid scheme. Sitting on trillions and trillions of debt, printing money according to their will completely ignoring the effect of their childish actions on the global economy

When you think hard about 1&2 and come up with solutions, congratulations, you just reinvented the blockchain. If not, I am happy to hear how would you solve. In a nutshell, for god's sake , try to understand the reasoning and motivation behind why new ideas originate, gather a community and attract smart people to work on them
I will not deny that the countries you listed have several shortcomings, but accusing countries of extreme dysfunction and then, just a few sentences later, recommending the US made me laugh. If someone only cares about making as much money as possible, then sure the US is probably one of the best countries for that. Personally, I would consider factors like health care, police that is not homicidal, social safety net and other public services much higher.

They did. It was CCS. Everyone except Tesla was on board to using it, and it was widely viewed as the standard going forward, and even Tesla was retro-fitting its chargers with CCS ("Magic Dock"), and presumably would one day switch its cars over.

Then Tesla pulled a fast one on the morons at GM and Ford, who signed stupid deals that handed the future back to Tesla, and now the only question is whether Tesla consolidates the entire industry behind it (possible) or we end up in a world with a split between NACS and CCS (also possible, but probably less likely).
I am a happy keepassxc user but I have criticized the authors on multiple occasions for not investing in a clear documentation of an attacker model. It seems to me a lot of bogus security is added here and there and this non-CVE is the result, because people demand more of that.

Full disclosure, I'm a CMU alum.

I think this article chose CMU because for Computer Science and technical startups, it's well understood in the valley that CMU is a top 4 school (and for many, a top 2 school) for producing software engineers, which tend to underpin a lot of tech startups.

Totally agree if you move outside of software companies that this makes sense. Anecdotally, I'll say CMU tends to produce individuals who are technically overweight but perhaps lacking in business sense. This is both because of school culture and the broader Pittsburgh community.
Some of these comments are sound like they were made by high schoolers who think HYPSM or bust. CMU has one of the most rigorous CS/engineering programs.

While the top 5% of Stanford grads might be "better" due to how selective they are. But I'd bet the median CMU CS major knows more, programs better etc. Simply because Stanford has a high percent of legacy, athlete, and moneyed international students that buy in. Whereas anecdotally, while CMU students are less well-rounded, those students are serious grinders.

If anything, this is proof that prestige, not talent, and who you know matters most. I've heard of several start ups with mostly Berkley/UC grads and one Stanford grad, and they always introduce him first for pitches.

> Social credit systems seem far more far reaching from what I have heard - affects your ability to get loans, buy property, travel, … etc. Your score also depends on pleasing certain people in society rather meeting some objective criteria - reminds me of the Black Mirror episode “Nosedive”.

This is the way the media covered it, but PolyMatter recently did a video that goes a long way toward clarifying what Social Credit means [0]. The short version is that it's a collection of barely-related initiatives and companies responsible for a lot of different things, that in Western eyes all got lumped together into a monolothic version that encompasses every aspect of life.

PolyMatter has a lot of good content on China. They're highly critical of China's policies, but they have a very realistic perspective on China's quite limited capabilities as an enormous, diverse, authoritarian state. My main takeaway from their China content is that China's ability to micromanage is dramatically overestimated in Western pop culture. Not that their regime is less oppressive than we think, just vastly less competent.

> Wait. CCS1 cant handle three-phase power?

CCS1 = SAE J1772 + DC.

J1772 has L1, L2/neutral, ground, control pins:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_J1772

J1772 is popular where one-phase is popular in residences (i.e., US, CA). CCS2 has L1, L2, L3, and neutral+ground:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_2_connector

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_J3068

Technically there was nothing stopping the use of CCS2 in the US, as the L2 and L3 pins would simply not be used at people's homes. But one-phase J1772 was already around, and it was decided to go with legacy compatibility.

I'm sure CCS2 exists in more commercial settings with heavy duty EVs, e.g., Volvo Trucks:

In the US, workman's comp replaces most civil liability claims. In other words, because workman's comp exists, you can't directly sue your employer; it's part of the law.

https://lawkirkpatrick.com/the-difference-between-civil-case...

A person is not allowed to sue their employer directly in a civil case. Other times we might see cases where there are both the workers compensation case and a civil case at play. This means that somebody was hurt at work but there was also a third party – someone other than the employer that is believed to be responsible for the accident.

Just recently an ironworker came into the office having fallen at work well as it turns out the step that he fell on was negligently or carelessly built by another contractor who was on the same job. This person has a workers compensation case against his employer and will likely file a civil lawsuit against the other contractor who created this danger through their negligence.

The ability to pass on passions is dependent on your ability to detach your ego from work and suppress subconscious hierarchy behavior. As in if display how great you are and your kid is not, you destroy the base of the whole transfer. This is not a company environment were the senior lectures the junior. Better yet, hide your ability and just encourage passionate behavior. It's okay to stay up late doing a thing you love so much it's not work anymore.
> Typescript has always included extensions in the output of imports. When you used a bare TS file import without an extension it added a .js extension in the transpiled output. .js file extensions have always worked in Typescript (going back to 0.x days).

It was not. https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/16577
There was proposal and PR, but It was rejected. When writing ESM in typescript, you need to import with .js extension.

>There's (luckily) no such thing as an "ESM variant" of Node and browsers will never have to know anything about the .mjs file extension. (Web servers will to make sure the present the right mime type, but that's a separate issue.) They just need ESM. I stand by accusing Node of doing the silly thing by adding the .cjs and .mjs file extensions. (I understand why they did it and mixed-module libraries were a thing that needed to exist until LTS support for ESM was well adopted, but we're past that transition phase, it wasn't that long of a transition phase, and in hindsight I think it still feels a little silly. Useful, but silly.)

There is absolutely such thing. Spec is either intentionally not being followed (babel) or it allows for host implementation to define some things (node.js, deno).

> but we're past that transition phase,

We are not. 99% of new projects use ESM with CommonJS resolution today!. Most codebases have no way to transition to ESM. It was a Herculean effort for typescript codebase to be migrated into ESM https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/typescripts-migrat... in March this year!.
Kind of like how social mores and corporate policies against supervisors having romantic relationships with their underlings protect not only employees who do not want to be pressured to date their managers, but also the colleagues of an employee who otherwise would try to get an edge by sleeping with the boss.

I put a tile shower in my van (you can certainly do it much lighter). I also have a Natures Head composting toilet (no smells at all.. there's a tiny fan that circulates air through a vent outside).

This spotlights the difference between managerial time, where things are accomplished in 30-minute meeting blocks, and developer / creative time, where things are accomplished in half-day blocks. Remote work is superior for the latter, office work for the former. So yes, meetings are far better in person. But coding is far better in solitude, and we have tools that let you pair-program for that 30% to 50% of the time you'd spend pair-programming.

There's a reason why nearly every single developer in modern office settings wears headphones. It's not for the synergy.

These folks, among others, make a lot of them. You are also incorrect about forging being used to introduce uniformity into the grain, it is typically (though not always, as some forging operations may just be for establishing shape) to stretch the grains such that they are oriented along the load path, resulting in higher allowable stresses. Look up highly loaded aircraft parts like landing gear, they are typically forged to establish the grain direction and then machined to final dimension. Nothing stops you from heat treating metal after it has been cast, either. Some heat treatments are also expressly to produce nonuniform conditions in the metal, case hardening for example.

I think they were the first ones to do wireless earbuds well. I don’t recall any such product before Airpods. The noise cancellation feature of the Airpods was introduced by them too for that form factor. I don’t recall any headphones advertised as having spatial audio either.

I’m not into headphones as such so I may be wrong in all this.

> This is a really magical feeling. Being connected to people who you like, where you just feel welcome and don't have the feeling to be on your guard all the time.

This. Maybe a bit weird but often for me these connections has been with total strangers while traveling when I was younger. Sometimes it would be with another tourist and sometimes with a local. It's surprising how deep it can get quickly.

I think this is why I love the movie "Lost in Translation", I think it perfectly captures this emotion. But I think if you haven't had that kind of experience with strangers the movie is probably lost on you.
I think that's roughly similar. Being around social situations without having to interact still charges the battery.
AI hype is like blockchain hype is a common HN meme which is gravely mistaken.

Blockchain didn't have any proper usecase that was better than what it was aiming to replace.

But AI already has real use cases. And it is already solving problems. And I don't mean ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.

I have myself developed and deployed AI models into real-world use that have been in production for years.

Blockchain was only hype. AI has real uses + hype.

AI will be a bubble that will burst, but even after that, people will improve it and use it more.
This is not unusual design. There a lot of military tech that work with commercial-grade electrics. It's easier to buy in bulk cheaper and replace when it brakes.
