Took me 3 tries to parse the title.

"Rivian Joins Forces" - is that name of an organization? - "with Tesla"... nope, that doesn't make sense.

"Rivan Joins forces" (somebody to do something), syntax error got "with".

"Rivan joins forces with Tesla" - yay!

And you know that person who wrote this knows about lowercase, because of "with" and "for"...
Is this not just a cosmetic thing? Xfce wants to know if you have shutdown permissions so it can render the right buttons for what you can do, but so long as the code isn't running privileged it's not actually going to let you do anything — it'll just run /sbin/shutdown fruitlessly.
Back in the early days of the PC when storage was very limited (my first HDD was only 10 MB), managing disk partitions was critical. Today with 20+ TB HDD and even 4 TB SSDs becoming affordable, partitioning is still important but for different reasons.

I joined a little startup called PowerQuest that was developing a partitioning product called Partition Magic after I wasted several hours for the umpteenth time re-partitioning my hard drive so that I could test out multiple operating systems (DOS/Windows, OS/2). It was a big success, but as drives got bigger the need to re-partition because the partition was full, diminished. Eventually, Microsoft included free partitioning software with their OS.

Today, partitioning can still be very important. You might want to install multiple operating systems on a single computer, each with its own boot partition and file system. You might want to keep your data and applications separate for access or in case a bug corrupts the file system.

But the sheer size of HDDs can also cause a problem. A 20 TB HDD can easily hold a few hundred million files. With new HAMR drives coming out, we will soon see drives capable of storing over a billion files. File systems like NTFS have a file record (FRS) size that is quite large (4096 bytes per file). When you have a billion files on a single volume, that is 4 TB just for the file table. Loading that in and storing it in RAM is problematic (not too many systems have that much RAM). Searching for files, checking the file system, or doing other operations can cause the file table to be loaded in its entirety.

Having multiple partitions, each with a smaller number of files on them can be a way to deal with this problem. I am working on a new system (Didgets.com) that seeks to address this issue with a different approach.
That was not the point you made in the original post. You said

> Besides that, you can't get HTTPS for these domains (without the mess of a custom CA and even then you'll run into CT issues) so development doesn't even reflect real life deployments. Secure origins matter!

So you can absolutely make development match deployments.

Not really.

The real task for those who actually do this is being able to sell songs that basically seem like they might be hits from ones that actually are.

The reason is that it costs money and time and effort to try to get attention for the songs to actually make them hit songs.

Most songs are just obviously not going to be hit songs they aren’t even in the same ballpark.

The classic mistake for a budding indie record label owner or producer is to audition 31 people and then say wow this person is better than all of them so that’s the one that will be a success.

Except none of them are ever going anywhere.

Conversely, the problem for a budding major label or high profile executive is to audition 31 people all of whom are actually quite good but only one or two are going to be hits.

They’re all great that’s how they got in the door, but which one is the star?

These are hard problems. Harder than people realize.

So anyways for a machine system have to use songs that obviously have no real strong appeal to anyone at all as the starting point for analysis.

Otherwise it’s just useless.
This is especially true if you find it hard to start conversations and connections. I would feel very lonely in a large unfamiliar group at university. But go walk through the woods and the loneliness is gone.

Exactly. To me, all this talk of whether Lemmy will replace Reddit is a distraction. 90% of what is on Reddit is (in my opinion) crap, I would be happy if it stayed on Reddit or went somewhere else entirely. All I want to know is whether Lemmy can reach a critical mass where there is enough going on there that it's worth visiting.
Yes. You're describing Crostini which I use often and like. Those constraints are fine with me. YMMV.

If you want uncontainerized Linux you have to dual-boot. I used to do that but it's difficult and no longer worth the hassle IMO.

The physical shape of Tesla/NACS is way better: it's more compact, and easier to plug in. The CCS connector OTOH is a lazy retrofit of a design-by-committee plug.

The wire protocol of CCS is a bit overengineered, but it's a standard, and it's a sunk cost (all cars, including current Teslas, are already compatible with it). So physical NACS + CCS protocol seems like the best of both.

It's also worth pointing out that the US uses CCS1, while Europe standardized on a slightly improved CCS2. So the US is alone in its (non)standard connector either way.
Yes, and my interest is satisfied by repology, dependabot, and a few other systems already.
I used to go hiking alone often, but after some wildlife encounters and near-misses with injury I decided I’d rather be with a group. At campsites I tend to be too alert to fall asleep, but the sounds of other campers nearby give me enough comfort to relax. Natural environments reinforce, not lessen, how we need each other.

My perception is that CCS2 is better egineering than NACS but both are improvements over CCS1 so any alternate adoption is a market improvement. Having the pure "best design" is very rarely the deciding factor to market adoption.

Because the problem isn't technical, it's well, human. As it turns out, when we're given a slight bit of anonymity (in the "my name and face aren't attached to this" sense, not in the "no consistent identity" sense, aka "crypto won't solve this either"), the barrier to being an asshole becomes significantly lower[0].

Someone needs to moderate those spaces and Masnicks Theorem states that any form of content moderation at scale doesn't properly work[1] because nobody can agree on what "bad behavior" even is outside the blatantly obvious like automated spam. (And just to head this off - automated techniques like karma and "votes" sound great in theory but in practice enable all sorts of abuse. - the problem isn't technical and can't be technically solved.)

The problem is simply scale - there's plenty of niche communities for various interests who are likely to not fall victim to the process due to either being non-profit or existing perpendicular to a business' actual revenue stream[2]. Those communities will keep existing until they simply burn out (the natural lifecycle) and the last couple mods just quietly close the place down.

Twitter/Facebook/Reddit attempted to unnaturally cannabilize those communities by moving everything in their walled gardens (alongside a lucky break due to Tapatalk killing the ability for traditional forums to move to mobile) and then trying to extract money from them. Their state is honestly more unnatural than you'd think, but it's what most users gravitated towards.

The closest we have right now as a solution to marry the self-managed forums of old with centralized services is the fediverse, but explaining it to people is often considered to be difficult enough that it probably won't grab mainstream appeal.

And y'know... Maybe that's alright? Centralized social media that tries to appeal to everyone may just have been a mistake to begin with.

i am not surprised.

> Are you afraid of beavers, turtles, and snakes?

I grew up fishing hard in the Midwest. I've spent a lot of time in the water. There's a super common myth amongst hand fishers that turtles won't bite underwater. Bullshit. I've had a common snapper pinned down with my shoe latch on underwater. That and a muscrat'll fuck you up too.

Am I nervous about those things, not at all. Will I deliberately go poking around blindly underwater, absolutely not.

Aside from dark patterns, is there a good theory why this cors issue is present? Maybe the QA test on locally hosted instances, which are exempt from cors?
> Can you add script, images, and basically end up with something similar to a modern webpage?

Sure, you can use anything you would on a regular HTML page. I was consuming my local news website via their RSS feed in my browser, as it looked like a regular website (but without all the fluff). Unfortunately, they've dropped the custom view completely, and it's now back to raw XML content :(
I didn't realise from the headline what this was referring to. The Titan, owned by OceanGate, is the submarine used to visit the Titanic that is currently missing.
> Could be a function, an integer, a map, or an array.

It is an array. 'incr' is a built in function that "increments" a variable by one.

Variable names followed by parenthesis () are Tcl arrays. So count(...) is "array syntax".

> Same problem with this:

> >foreach {line n} [array get count]

This is roughly equivalent to Python's "list comprehensions". "array get count" produces a list of values from the contents of the array named count (the list is "key1 value1 key2 value2 key3 value3 ..."

foreach is Tcl's "iterate over a list" function. In this case it is iterating two variables over the list at the same time taking two elements off the list each time. The first element is assigned to "line" the second element to "n".
Precisely why he was (and arguably needed to be) assassinated.
What he calls a fake is what I call a mock - although I don't think he's necessarily building a strawman here, there are developers who use mocks the way he's telling you not to, and they are creating the problems that he outlines. I'd change it from "don't use mocks" to "don't be stupid with mocks".
People suck, especially Reddit moderators. They've been destroying communities for years. Honestly, the best thing Reddit could do is figure out how to shake these people off like a bad case of fleas. Maybe that is what they're doing?

You're 100% right - people want communities where the posts are largely relevant. Has AI advanced enough to make AI moderation possible? Can upvoting/downvoting posts help train an AI what a community values and what it doesn't? That's where I think things are eventually headed.
AFAICT NACS (read, the "standard" and not Tesla's original release) speaks the same protocol as CCS, it just combines the AC and DC pins into, yes, a sleeker connector.

So no real "benefit", and it actually adds complexity into the car itself. But theoretically one could also make a NACS -> CCS adapter, so it wouldn't end up as a CHAdeMO situation.

EDIT: I forgot, the NACS connector is more or less self-aligning if you get it in the right general orientation, whereas CCS is pretty particular.
I like the distinction. It separates effects applied by the library from affects applied by your custom class, since you can still add a class if you like. At a glance, I know where the effects are coming from.
Almond trees get a bad rep. They use about the same water as many other trees. And we plant trees by the millions because, trees are a good idea. Oxygen and so forth.

The problem with almonds isn't so much that the trees require water (like anything else). It's that they're inevitably planted where water is a particular problem. Like, needing to pump and deplete groundwater.

> Tesla made it work by subsidizing their $1B+ global fast DC charging network cost out of robust vehicle margins.

VW is doing the same with EA (although with more vehicles and lower margins). I don't know the specifics and I'm sure they would love for every stall to be full but I wouldn't be surprised if they had no expectation of making a profit at this point or even in the next five years.

Honestly I think they have some limited upside here which is that if they can fix the quality of their service and add NACS cables then they can compete on price or location with superchargers for NACS owners' business. My guess is that the stalls are empty because few who seriously need to travel long distances would buy a non-supercharger compatible EV specifically because the EA experience sucks. If they fix their UX then they can immediately begin tapping into the NACS market instead of waiting for CCS cars to slowly trickle into the roadtripping segment of the market.
Shame there is only one USB-C port. Peripherals are rapidly switching to USB-C, and adapters from C male to A male are a really bad idea. It would've been way better if they'd used 1xC + 1xA instead of 2xA on both the front and back.
I currently pay £4.42 per 1000l for a normal mains piped water supply (and for the drainage system to take that water away again).

1000 gallons is 4546l, so the cost for desalination is £0.86 for 1000l by your price.

Sounds like desalination is worth it even in soggy England (which hasn't been soggy at all until a few days ago).

I’m a sample size of one but I suspect that most folks don’t see many negatives to the walled garden. I don’t want to hack about on my phone. I don’t need root nor do I want to worry about security on my phone. I don’t think Apple is perfect or impervious to attack vectors but for me. I actively prefer the walled garden. It’s mostly something I don’t have to worry about.

Once I change to a laptop then I’ll shoulder the additional risk and work to have a more open platform.
> Filenames should be created as the user typed it - don't change the input before storing it.

I wouldn’t go that far. Certainly, I would use some normalization algorithm on whatever the user typed, so that there’s no difference between typing a precomposed character (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precomposed_character) and typing a character and a combining character (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combining_character)

If you don’t do that, the user’s keyboard layout may affect whether they can type a given file name.

Also (nitpicking), if a user types a backspace or control-H, I wouldn’t include a 0x08 in the file name.
I don't know if there are any studies on this but the perception amongst EV users that I'm aware of is that NACS is a very reliable system (low rate of charging stall breakdowns) compared to CCS chargers that seem to break down quite frequently. However, it is unclear if this is due to the technology difference between CCS and NACS or if it's just due to the poor implementation of CCS charger infrastructure.
I wonder if Tesla is repositioning from being a Ford to being an Exxon
Indeed, institutional traders and asset managers are still the "buy side" and as such are not crazily more informed than retail.

The real sharks are on the sell side, using low-latency arbitrage and massive leverage, and have the ability to unwind risky positions over months. Fleecing buy side and retail is highly profitable for them.

In their defense of course they'll say they're "providing liquidity", and given how much buy side tends to pile up on one side of the trade, you can see their point: somebody's going to take the other side of these big moves.
I believe NACS can do everything CCS can do (same number of pins) but in a smaller and easier to handle format. As an EV users I much prefer the NACS connector over the CCS connector especially in the winter when the cables are much stiffer.
I agree with this, I don't use enums they are always more trouble than they are worth.

They break FDW unless they are pre-created on the importing side. Super inconvenient.
Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not but I recently met a girl with an amazing smile and tons of confidence who stared in to my eyes for hours on end and it's exactly that which had such an effect on me.
Running is a very high injury rate sport. Depending on what study you look at, novice runners has an accident rate of around 3.3 (that requires medical attention) per 100h of running. It is not without its own risk. Lower risk than climbing Everest or visiting Titanic, but still fairly high risk activity in a city environment with city traffic.

Swimming is a bit better if one want to a lower-risk sport.
I'm not sure even the first statement is entirely fair. As far as I can tell this result is indistinguishable from "a sufficiently powerful model can distinguish data generated by two different popsynth models".

I would have had more faith had they scrambled the labels and run the experiment of distinguishing one random subset of songs from another random subset. Anything greater than 50% would indicate the model's ability to overfit; I'd like to know how accurately their model would perform.
Yes indeed, but it's not guaranteed that there'll be multiple clients connected to one server at a time, even if it's unlikely.
I've used both and while from a technical standpoint CCS might be superior (I have no idea), in practice NACS is sleeker and feels less clunky.

Is that a good reason to adopt a standard that isn't open? Probably not. Does the average customer cares and will it have an impact on their day to day? Probably not.

EDIT: Seems like NACS is open after all so I don't really understand why we would bother with CCS.
In California if you subscribed online the law requires online cancellation.

“ Even before these changes, the ARL has been a frequent focus of both private class action litigation and government enforcement actions. ARL class actions frequently settle in the seven figures, and earlier this year a popular weight-loss app settled such an action for over $60 million. On the enforcement side, several California district and city attorneys have joined forces to pursue ARL claims as the California Auto Renewal Task Force (CART). In recent years, CART has also reached several seven-figure settlements, including with a direct marketing company for over $8 million and with the owner of several online dating sites for over $2 million.”
Good question. I'm open to it, but this project is already not very successful (see my comments in an old thread here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35461596). I think I'm just a bit burnt out on it. Perhaps open-sourcing it will reinvigorate the project a bit. Ultimately I made it to scratch my own itch and I'm happy with what it is now, so at the very least I can use it for my own needs.

I would be happy to hear any advice for better payment processors, of course.

That creates unit tests that take ages to run - and fail surprisingly in hard to debug ways.

TP = correct hit songs = 0

TN = correct non-hits = 96

FP = incorrect hits = 4

FN = incorrect non-hits = 0

This is just a problem with using the metric of accuracy. If your classes are unbalanced, then a few “errors” aren’t going to affect your accuracy.

I’d say that’s the case for Stellantis (Dodge etc), but I suspect the big European automakers will be slower to get onboard due to the greater investment in CCS in the EU. It’ll require a bigger mental shift, as their leadership may not have as strong a grasp on the North American situation, and will probably have a greater bias toward “standards”. (Yes I realize we’re talking about CCS1 vs CCS2, but it doesn’t practically matter).
My eyes glazed over before I got very far through that. Can anyone tell me, if I gave it songs from the 1940s, or whenever, would it work the same for those?
RSS is basically dead for the general populous, why would reddit need to rethink their business model based on RSS?
Don't have a link now but as I understand it the main problem is they were using websockets and it didn't scale to so many users. So they're switching to rest api calls and that should fix a lot of the issues. But it's a pretty big switch they've been working hard on.
