In the grand symphony of life, navigating its dissonant notes—our societal complexities—calls for a harmonious tune within ourselves, finding resilience in our daily rituals, shared experiences, and self-discovery, while cherishing the understanding that seeking help is not a discord but a beautiful part of our shared composition.
My electricity as $/kwh has gone down over the past 10 years. All else being equal, my bill stayed the same. That's because the fixed $/month for maintenance _doubled_.

I've since added an EV increasing my usage. It costs less than it would have 10 years ago. I've seen the same thing playing out with other utilities in my state and across the country.

Increased kwh consumption with relatively flat peak demand[1] means that the fixed costs of running and maintaining utilities is a smaller overall percentage of energy costs. OTOH, increased demand drives higher prices which is a conflicting factor. At DCFC it is pretty easy to work this out, as good utilization always helps. At residences, the impacts are far less clear.

[1] Interestingly, the bulk of EV charging is effectively addressable demand. We are already seeing a lot of utility experimentation in this area.
The main use of Bitcoin is for purchasing drugs by mail-order on the darknet. There you have the purpose and the value in Bitcoin. The value of that usability is massive.
Hello, UniverseHacker. Good question. MLS is part of the problem. It could be more efficient; anybody with a license can join, and one of only two choices currently available to consumers. The other is going for sale-by-owner. PropBox is a brand-new advertising alternative that removes all the pain points. It is fast, accurate, simple to use, and inexpensive. For example, I write a syndicated weekly Q&A real estate column. I have answered thousands of consumers' most pressing questions over 12 years. One of my learning experiences is that when I get a new question, it is easy to discern that many people don't read the contracts. Why? Because the contracts are so long and difficult to understand, customers turn to their trusted advisor and ask, " Well, <name of agent>, what do you think? Should we go ahead?" The majority of agents will reassure them to proceed. So they ask a person with a significant conflict for permission. This is a big mistake. At PropBox, we are trying to correct this by making the form simple and easy to read. For example, the basic offer-to-purchase has over ten thousand words in my home state. The PropBox basic offer-to-purchase has just over one thousand words, written in easy-to-understand language that meets all the legal requirements in the state. Our legal counsel has agreed that it is legal. Now a customer can read it and understand it. This short and easy read will improve a buyer's confidence and avoid depending on someone else's opinion. It also minimizes the chance of a future misunderstanding for the seller. Our customers will recognize and appreciate this simple fix.

Executables (binaries) run directly.

Some code requires an interpreter to run.

Really important to the OS and those who want to run the application, as you need the right interpreter for the second case.
Giving up on free software phones is the first step. Now give up on software phones and just use a tiny non-computer cell phone that does text and voice. The removable battery will last a week and you won't even notice it in your pocket. The firmware will last the entire life of the phone, never needing to be updated.

Replace the car GPS navigation functionality with a dedicated car GPS and you have most of the same functionality but with better longer lasting devices.
When I first saw this on twitter, I thought Render was a cloud GPU company.
Funny, I've found that a hybrid scrum model works extremely well to address almost all items on your list, and works across the spectrum of personality types. M/W/F normal stand-ups and T/Th 1:1s with each team member or small group.

The one thing it can't address (unending distractions) is a red herring. Either you've hired an employee that can manage their own time or you haven't. If they can't manage their time while WFH I doubt they would be much better managing their time WFO, either.

I've found it's only bad management (and in some cases, access to exotic/expensive hardware) for WFH to not work for software development.
I took it to be more about the ethics of supporting the religious institution. For all the good they provide they also normalise a lot of hatred and anti-social values, even when they preach the opposite.
Exactly. Movers were there, we had a day left in the apartment after they emptied it to finish up cleaning and pack what was going in our car.

Selling Ikea furniture during the summer when the college students are gone and having to price it to sell the same day, we probably would've got $5. Not worth it at all.
I don't like that a single private company is in charge of this standard, but I think this sort of thing is pretty common and necessary when two companies integrate technologies.

For example, look at how USB C compatibility worked at first. There was a standard, but there were still lots of problems. In practice, implementers may not correctly understand certain parts of the standard, may not grasp the importance of doing something a specific way, or may try to cut corners. Also, the standard may have omissions or errors.

All of this should theoretically be fed back into a future version of the standard, but with evolving technologies, it takes time to get there.
Ok, how do almonds compare to other protein rich crops like peanuts? I'll tell you, not well:

A ag product should be priced to reflect their 'externalities', and that includes things like water use, but perhaps we should be subsidizing healthy stuff like produce over field corn and soybeans
Why would you show up to or do a job where one small mistake under stress could have you convicted of murder of a special protected class which virtually guarantees you will be thrown under the bus by the politicians and harassed endlessly by the angry mob? You have to be insane to take the job in that kind of work environment.
Parsing network device configurations can be frustrating. Ansible can help convert them into an automation-friendly format.
Shouldn't the climate aware thing be to move people out of these cities that have no business being in area that's so water scarce?

It irks me that all of these climate initiatives involve forcing people to buy expensive EV's, solare panels, give up this/ give up that. But, when it comes to the elitists in SF the solution is to just do whatever it takes to allow them to live in a dried up state that has scarce water resources.

No, you can move. Time to practice what you preach.
I was replying to the second part of it.
100% agree that the argument should be around file system behaviour rather than some imagined social justice in file system names.

There are some weird takes on here. Most users aren’t even going to see the file system in the future.

If there were a time to make everything case insensitive it was 35 years ago.

We might even rarely type soon.

Time you enjoyed wasting was not wasted.
My grandpa did the same; joined at 13 years old. From his story it sounded like there wasn't a single person who thought it was even questionable - on the contrary - it was highly encouraged by everyone
I find it odd how many schema changes in modern RDBMS must be done on the whole table at once. You can split a table in chunks and recode each chunk gradually in a way which doesn't change the data in it (so no downtime) but removes dead entries like updated enums.

In a way you describe how we can emulate this process. The question is why the heck wouldn't databases do this themselves? Same with adding and dropping columns.

Consider how PostgreSQL encodes null for example, by skipping them in the row as fields, and adding them in a null bitmap in front of the row. Meaning... rows are not uniformly sized, there's no math like offset = row * rowsize + field_offset; kind of addressing for reading a field in PG where recoding some of the rows breaks the entire table.

And yet we have all those huge monolithic operations that need to be done atomically. So weird.
> Affordable Care Act should have fixed that apparently, but who knows.

Just to clarify what I'm sure rdtsc meant, since that statement can be read two ways.

The ACA codified into law that they cannot do that over a decade ago. He is almost certainly just questioning if they are breaking that law.

Among other things, the ACA no longer lets them charge you different rates if you had strep throat 7 years ago, so the only questions through the marketplace are your county (or zip code?) of residence, your sex, your smoking history and your age.

Keep in mind this is not "lemmy vs reddit". Browsing through this index [1] you see moderators and users migrate also to platforms like kbin, discord, discourse and matrix

I didn't even know about kbin [2] but it seems like another solid fediverse presence. This multiplicity of platforms (ruby, php, rust, python, go, elixir, you name it) that all adhere to a protocol is intrinsic to this "movement" [3] and it is what makes it vaguely... inspiring. Echoes of an earlier, more optimistic time.

> I find that people who have trouble cancelling subscriptions are simply too weak-willed to say "I don't want your offers, cancel my subscription immediately" to a person on the other end. If you can't do that, you really deserve what you get.

I am indeed very weak-willed and I hate hate hate "fighting" a rep to get my account closed. But many services that I've been trying to cancel I have no contracts with and no money owed, they just drag the process for no reason.

Frankly if I'm in a yearly contract that is paid monthly, and I'm on month two, I'm 100% willing to pay the rest of the year. All I want is for them to close my dang account. Send me a single bill, I pay it, then delete me forever. Why does it make me a bad person?

Oh it was terrible even by proxy. It would drop estimated range at about 2 miles per mile. Took all day to get between two metropolitan areas. Spent several hours at a level 2 to ensure they didn’t get stuck in the woods with crap cell coverage.
SimilarWeb shows that their traffic drop is real, roughly 20% in the last two months:

> I'd say look at government, but that is rarely remote

Depends on what government. State of California has a lot of remote/hybrid tech since the pandemic [0], both civil service and contract.

[0] and that’s been accommodated in civil service contracts and shifted some HQ space arrangements in ways which won’t be easy to quickly reverse, so its as likely to be durable as anything in working arrangements.
I'm disagreeing with the second part of OPs comment.
You can change your microbiome and metabolism and all, but it's MUCH more complex than "just eat less" and isn't the same as starting with a natural genetic advantage anyway.
isn't that just RCS?
I mean, the range/$ seems to be a pretty good moat. Last I checked, the only cars with a decent amount of range per dollar were at the very low end (Chevy Bolt) and had very little range (200 miles vs 300 miles for Tesla M3).
Antennea can trivially extend over 30m, and can float on the surface. As a wire attached to an inflatable float, for either bidirectional communication or as a GPS beacon, or both, the complete solution could exist for less than $10k and less than 10 kilograms to solve this.
Why doesn't this exist for this craft that can only be openned from the outside??
There exists the ability to communicate from directly above, so why can't it also communicate (further) through open air while bobbing near the surface?
this solution is not scalable for "high density" animal farms. Which makes it economically infeasible.
I can't provide much more context than anyone has currently, but I just wanted to say I love what you're doing with the "zero commission" approach. I think it's sorely needed in alot of markets. Wish you the best luck.
So you want to become an analytics platform/tool?

Go for it

You've got some big players in the space already (some entrenched for decades) - but you may be able to find a niche you can serve better
You can't actually be deployed until you're 18 though - it's basically a way of front-loading training.
and it has great positive externalities!

If California is growing a little less stuff that I'm buying in Ohio, Ohio farmers can start selling it at a profitable price point. Then we're not transporting as much across the country, not draining California of water, employing more Ohio farmers, and diversifying our food supply chains.
I've had a Tesla (Model S) since early 2020 and once the initial allure wore offI've missed driving a BMW and once the i5 is here I'll be backing to driving BMW. The supercharger network is by far the reason I've stuck with the Tesla this long, but there's enough options now. The build quality, the drive quality, service quality, all of it is subpar. The Model 3 is a zippy car but the lack of an instrument cluster is a deal breaker for me.

Tesla deserve all the credit for getting everyone else to wake up. But they are so so at making a car I actually want to drive.
It is, but limited to the (excellent) Google Pixel devices.
Any performance numbers? For instance how might this handle 1M+ records, 15+ columns in a single table?
It’s not drinking water though. Or at least not ours.

It’s “Dilution is the solution to pollution.” We are dumping borderline water and hoping the people downstream don’t sue because it’s X% of the flow.
For as much as HN hates on Psychology as a field of study, it is Psychology stories that get the most comments, the most discussion, the most interest. It might be because people like talking about themselves more than anything else.

How can one day, the HN consensus seems to be that Psychology is a pseudo-science filled with con-men.

Then the next day there is a new Psychology study submitted, and suddenly HN totally forgets its pseudo-science, now it is 'oh, let me talk about my experience with X'.
Keep in mind it was extremely common on HN to proclaim Tesla was going to go bankrupt, that the Model S would never be manufactured at any scale, that the Model 3 would fail and would also never be manufactured at great scale.

Sure Tesla has plenty of flaws and always have, and yet they remain ahead of the competition in what's going to be a multi-trillion dollar market (EVs) segment.

Tesla's primary business problem is that they only have one killer product, the Model 3 (meaning they're too easy to cripple if sales fall out from under that one thing). They massively screwed up on the truck, when they should have just made a normal EV truck with some Tesla touches (Elon's ego on Cybertruck cost them hundreds of billions of dollars in sales over the next decade; it will go down as one of the dumbest business mistakes in recorded history). The truck should have been their key diversification, especially in the huge US market for trucks. The truck segment should have been mainstream and borderline boring, yielding tens of billions of dollars in annual global sales. Instead it's going to be a mocked niche product that trails off rapidly in sales after the initial splash (assuming they actually bring the Cybertruck to market).

But if Tesla knew what they were doing, they would have bought a large chunk of Ford while the valuations were at peak mismatch (or all of it, via their hyper overvalued stock; de facto bribe the Ford family with a huge number to take the acquisition offer), electrified Ford's truck lineup in a long-term partnership, and yielded epic scale profit from it for decades to come.
I failed. It were indeed liters and not cubic meters. 950 cubic meters are not much.
I think KYC can't ever be honest because at its very foundational core it is the idea that you've let yourself willingly be deputized by the government to spy on those customers without a valid search warrant.

To spy on them and report them for non-crimes, and to deny them services because the specific numbers are above arbitrary thresholds, at arbitrary thresholds, and yes... even below those.

If you're already empowered by the feds to do all these things, what's a little dishonesty on top of all that? As long as you don't fuck over the feds themselves, they'll surely look the other way when bilk free advertising dollars out of those probably-terrorists.
Just port PowerShell to Linux, and Bash and friends will become obsolete.

While your point is well taken, I think this latest comment displays some dichotomous and uncharitable thinking. I doubt they meant you have to choose between being "fat and happy" or "thin, angry, and depressed." Surely, they were more likely to hope you could become "healthy and happy" but lacked some of the cognitive empathy to understand your situation.
How about people just not live there? Why should the rest of the US be required to support well-off individuals in SF that want green lawns?
Were Daisy-wheels ever used in typewriters, or was that just a printer thing?
I truly abhor strawman comments such as this. They offer nothing other than a false sense of superiority. They are like buzzing mosquitos on a hike: annoying, distracting, and useless.
I'd be interested to see a MSDS that says that ultra-pure water is a hazard. I find a lot saying it's not. Pretty sure that what you heard about was either apocryphal or one of those "out of an abundance of caution" scenarios.
Ok but if you're supposed to arbitrate disputes then you must be able to contact someone to start that arbitration process, if there's no one to contact then I guess you could go to small claims and get the money.
not for every one. i am US born, driving forty years now, entire decades with long commutes during which my various skills improved a lot, but its just not that fun. i am not free to direct my attention as i wish, even for the outside scenes one can't let your eyes deeply take in the fog rolling over the mountain like you can on a bike or from a train seat, much less stop to pick up some oxious trash or take that half formed intuition into a good software idea or parenting plan. even light rail with a window seat and wifi is infinitely more enjoyable, for me.

biking will have times like that, and you can't read while biking, but there are always big periods of safety and silence while biking, and you can stop and stretch and take a pic and and sip your water so much more easily than from a car. and you can't avoid the touch of the breeze on your cheek or the smells of the tree sap and the meals being prepared and the garbage. So alive.
No. I've read that Google is not allowed put iMessage-like features into the stock messaging app because it would run afoul of antitrust. Ironically, Apple can do this because they own everything.
For a solo indie dev it is far more than enough. There are solutions to any physics problems you encounter. The 3d in Godot 4 is quite beautiful
I agree those costs may not seem that high, and I think the transport costs in that case would be dominated by security. Daily BIS is ~$6T, and I'm not sure how much net would need to be transported, but even $1B/day in costs starts to seem significant.

The problem is that even smaller quantities of $100M or $100k would have larger relative overheads. Once you're down to $1000 or toz size quantities where security is less of an issue, the testing and weighing costs become significant.
That one service is what this discussion is about
I knew when I got hit with the per seat pricing change a few months ago that there were preparing a raise and needed to get those numbers up. Good for them I guess.

Funny enough I had big VC call me for due diligence (because I posted a lot on their forums and they spotted my name) and I happily told them how pissed I was with that change and how I went from vocal evangelist for the platform to looking for an alternative.
Can someone ELI5 for me what GenAI is? I've never heard of them and their website is just the usual content-free buzzword salad:

artificial intelligence - what else, sigh!

transformative - you bet

business AND consumer - so basically everyone, why tell at all?

various industries - everyone again

pioneering - yeah, what else

vertically integrated - sure, I was just waiting for that

AI solution - oh, who would have thought?

AI-powered!- you are saying!

I've literally not even finished the second sentence on the page and this rambling abomination goes on and on and on...

EDIT

For reference the first two sentences:

"GenAI, our mission is to harness the power of artificial intelligence to create transformative tools that benefit businesses and consumers across various industries.
GenAI is a pioneering artificial intelligence company focused on developing a vertically integrated AI solutions business through its proprietary MAI Cloud™ database, with the development and commercialization of AI-powered tools and solutions for businesses and consumers across multiple industries."

EDIT

After reading other comments I think GenAI is a generic term (like blockchain) referring to Generative AI. In my defense the OP is not enlightening in this regard at all, so I just googled the term and the company website of genai-solutions.com was the first result. Nothing in the OP says that Stackoverflow is working with this specific company, however, that was just my (likely erroneous) assumption.
It did back in the 2000s when it was popular. But even then it wasn't hard to use clientside filters/killfiles to get rid of spam. 15 years of being dead have resulted in usenet having a pretty good signal to noise ratio. If it becomes popular enough to have that problem again I'll be happy.

It doesn’t really matter. Nobody brings their car overseas, and the costs for having different chargers in Europe and NA are negligible.
Yes deduced to it’s lowest form but there’s billions of inputs that go into your own training set to produce the outcome you’re at.

Along the way, you’ve experienced trauma which nudged you a direction, you’ve been inspired by other people which left an impression in your mind, you’ve had people teach you 1 skill and another person teach you a different skill, and you combined them, life experiences that changed your outlook etc.

It’s less about the specific teachers and more about every single person and event that has happened to you is your own ‘training set’. But sometimes we can definitely point to a specific event or person who influenced us to where we are at today and I like to think of that just like model weights in current LLMs.
You took the thread on a massive flamewar tangent with a drive-by oneliner. That's trolling, in terms of the effect it predictably has, whether you intended it to be or not. Turning a thread about brain/language research into a race war is exactly what the site guidelines ask you not to do.

Internet warriors only bring this topic up to bash each other with pre-existing talking points. None of that is curious conversation, so we ask HN commenters to perform such rituals elsewhere.
I venture to say because in RSS various advertising can be very easily filtered out, and temporal & and geo-tracking can be completely eliminated.
