For a comparison the other way, high speed trains in Europe are around 10-16MW.

Typical railway locomotives used for freight trains in Britain can draw a maximum of around 5MW.

Ordinary-speed electric trains (for commuters, regional trains etc) with a limit of about 180km/h (110mph) draw 1.5-2MW.

Presumably the full power is only needed when starting off on a hill.
One day, on street parking will want to have charging, and that is nearly all parallel parking, for which front/rear center would be suboptimal.
I think that's only for coastal areas. Once you include pumping costs it gets much more expensive.
No. You don't get to decide the medications you get put on. This is a human and civil rights catastrophe.
>In most of Europe homes do have 3-phase power and large loads like an EV are required to use it.

Yes and no, distribution is usually 3-phase so the 3 phases do arrive to the building, but in a number of countries in Europe inside the home only 1 phase is used and the amount of available power (by contract) is a fraction of what the US are used to (of course depending by country, but it is rare that a house has a contract in excess of 3 or 6 kW).

Most detached homes (the small subset that have a garage) won't likely be upgraded to more than 12 kW or so, still 1 phase, leaving not that much for charging.

Possibly larger buildings with common parking space may be able to take advantage of the 3-phases distribution, still, particularly in cities, the big problem (once the EV's will be more common) will be the low voltage distribution lines and the transformers/cabins from medium to low voltage.

EDIT: replaced "usually" with "in a number of countries in Europe" did not want to generalize
Murmur author here, it is a lot of trial and error but in general you're trying to pack as much "nonlinearity" as possible into as few instructions as possible. Multiplication is commutative, xor is commutative, but if you mix the two together you get functions that are strongly non-linear (in the algebra sense) because the mathematical "spaces" of integers and bits aren't connected together the same way. Ensuring that the nonlinearity applies to all the bits roughly equally is hard and requires trial and error.
Show HN: NomadGroups – a worldwide list of digital nomad group chats
Hey HN,

Sharing something me and my friend Martin put together over the weekend.

When we traveled to a new location we had to look around and find the local WhatsApp and Slack groups, where other travellers scheduled events and meetups and shared useful tips.

We built this to solve our own problem - a free and crowdsourced list of group chats and communities that anyone can join when they land in a new city.

Try it out and let me know what you think.
Why would there not be double, triple, even quadruple redundancy for a locator beacon? And if there was, how could each system have failed? Hoping for a speedy resolution for these people, and the best possible outcome.
Note that what amounts to a single page app with all the links rendered after fetching some data from a service isn't going to be something that can be indexed by a search engine.

A google search for site:lemmy.ml with it rendered this way will never result in any data.

This may or may not be a good thing since it isn't necessarily assured that the data is stored for extended periods of time (compare: https://masto.host/mastodon-content-retention-settings/ ).

Part of the value that people have ascribed to Reddit is being able to do searches for a product review and limit it to just pages served by reddit. Lemmy appears to be ephemeral and not searchable.

Discussing the current Star Trek SNW episode may be ok, but reading a discussion from a few years ago about Emissary on DS9 ( https://www.google.com/search?q=deep+space+nine+emissary+sit... ) is something that isn't going to be doable.
and yes don't get me wrong.. I agree with the general idea behind the lawsuit: Google's is hostile and anti-competitive monopolisitic company. Yet, the initial problem remains, newspapers whant this `ownership` back, but doing so with very biased views, where they will dictate what is `newsworthy` or not
This actually has been litigated before. Pretty interesting lawsuit but I'm sick and need to start work but I'd recommend Binging (lol) it
And every mac user I know likes to dis windows for having to edit the registry. But in order to get external networking dongles, monitors and facetime to work, I have to make extensive use of the `defaults` program from the command line.

This is not a defense of windows, though it's been several years since I've had to perform registry surgery to enable basic behaviors. It is a plea that apple make their software work so I don't have to keep monkeying with its registry^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hpreferences tree.
I think the point you're trying to make is you can calibrate away LCD backlight luminance degradation because it's uniform across the panel. And you don't notice because your eyes adapt to the whole screen.

With OLED, not so much. OLED does have tech to compensate based on total pixel usage. You might see that if you tried to change a panel without the electronics. I'm not aware of how widespread it is, but I know iphones can do it.
I think part of the issue there is designing a hatch that can be opened on the surface to exchange air without immediately swamping the sub in the sea chop. Alvin sank very fast when it was accidentally dropped into the water with the hatch open.
As writing, all comments seems to be quite negative. I think this is awesome and definitely something that can unlock a lot for me.

I problem I often encounter when using stack overflow is that questions are answered ina a very narrow way that doesn't really fit me. So I need to bounce between 3-4 answers that are related to get the right solution.

I would guess this solution could do this for me, provided that I provide anough context is my problem prompt.
Tesla adds about a million Tesla's to the road every year in North America. Supporting a few hundred thousand non-Tesla's will have less impact than adding a million Tesla's.
A nitpick, but: if you get equity with your comp package, then you are an "owner" as well. The distinction between you and the C-suite is that their equity package is much higher.

While I side with Gannett’s stance on the matter, the internet was around for quite a while before Google showed up. Innovation is what got the company where it is today, and yeah it made the usual hard right into anti-trust behavior, but given how reticent newspapers and old media were to embrace the internet in its inception, I’m loathe to imagine what their solutions for advertising would have been had they been more keen on Internet as a distribution direction. I find, even today, most online publications are essentially lousy with terrible ads that actually impede reading, and old media still has some big problems with monopolistic behavior themselves (see: Sinclair broadcasting https://www.teenvogue.com/story/sinclair-broadcast-group-and... )
Good question. This was a hard question for us last year and we chose SSPL for the time being as a early stage startup to offer some protection. AGPL allows anyone to deploy your system and re-sell it, but SSPL requires the person to open source their additions that they make for their platform, which benefits the project itself.

*Caveat*: This is super nuanced and hotly debated, so this is high level and no perfect answer here.

Mid term, we plan to move from SSPL to a more open license in the future as we further develop our open source project.
If we added a sticky for each time a company did that the entire front page would be full of posts of this sort ;)
Ether and Bitcoin will be the base layers of the non-USD and non-YUAN financial system.
Is that accurate though? Standing on a street and yelling at people actually requires effort, and arguably some risk.

It seems more likely that a lot of these people actually do want to help others but simply didn’t consider the possibility that what seemed helpful to them wouldn’t be. You can want to help someone without being good at it.
Very memorable.
My first instinct was to reply "nah," because of how unfriendly to geeks they are compared to Linux -- but on the other hand, I must admit they are much better than Windows and much cheaper than Macs, so I suppose this is fair.
The only two times I've touched something remotely tcl was - working on Metal Gear Solid's port from PS1 to PC - it used TCL-like scripting language for the levels, functions were main-like, e.g. "Chara_Init(int argc, const argv[], / something else here */)", and then it was quickly parsing arguments (like tcl) to initialize initial state and types of characters/items/etc.

The second one was through Maya, if you can call maya's language tcl.

It was fascinating to me back then, but nowadays I'm leaning more and more towards static typing.
You filter through all, local and subscribed community posts on your statepage. The sorting in general needs a bit of work though.
Perhaps I am missing some nuance, but that still seems like "some laughs" and, more importantly, not done in good faith. I get that they weren't audibly laughing, but it seems they were stroking some kind of emotional pleasure centre, choosing bad faith to feel it.
I copy/pasted the example from the Google bash scripting guide because I was on mobile earlier, but I just confirmed that it exits immediately after the arithmetic operation with bash 5.1.12.
Pretty much impossible to forecast.

There's a thing I remember but not well enough to search for, where someone was asked to forecast the challenges the UK was about to face, and they went through the decades of the 20th century showing how the biggest and most obvious fears of each period had basically nothing to with how events actually unfolded.
Yes. I used to live in a smaller city and my friends were from even smaller places (small towns, farms). They have a relationship with open space and with crowds that I don’t have. This is particularly pronounced here in the US where there’s vast expanses and people love their backyards. I never had backyard growing up and never missed it.

When I told them about my dream home being a 500 sq ft apartment in the middle of a bustling metropolis, they said the first thought they had was “claustrophobia”.

But for me, small spaces in dense areas give me joy — living in the midst of an exciting morass of people where people collide in Brownian motion and new ideas form feel like happiness. This notion is much more common in denser places like Europe and Asia.
Industrial users also pay a demand charge based on the maximum current draw over the period; that can be significant.
“When’s the last time anyone tried to steal design ideas from Microsoft?” I remember a time when Linux desktops were heavily influenced by Windows 95. In fact, the Windows 95 interface still holds up to this day. While certain design elements and styling choices were influenced by NeXTSTEP, other ideas such as the taskbar and the Start menu were original.

My favorite era of Microsoft software from a UI/UX standpoint is the period between Windows 95 and Windows 2000, alongside other Microsoft products such as Office 97/2000 and Visual Basic 6. I particularly liked the flat toolbars and the Tahoma font introduced in Office 97 and spreading to the rest of the Microsoft ecosystem; a Windows 2000 installation with Office 97/2000 and Visual Basic 6 looked quite consistent.

> populist simply means democratic ( popular, because that is what people want )

Democracy is what the people want. Majoritarianism is blindly doing what most people want. Populism involves majoritarianism, and both imply the failure of democracy. (This happens fast in a system of elections with no checks and balances.)

SciTECO 2.0.0 Was Released
There are adapters both ways.

CCS1 and CCS2 use the same communication protocol and Tesla adopted it for NACS in the North America market because they had to for the European market.

Older NA Tesla's can get a body module upgrade to support their CCS to NACS adapter.

It sounds like the adapter will be used at least initially to restrict which cars can use Superchargers. I would imagine this is partially due to the lack of payment terminals but also to prevent untested configurations of EVs.

> For the past three years dessalines and I have been funded to work on Lemmy full-time by generous support from the NLnet foundation. These donations are paid out when we implement certain new features. But now we are busy answering questions, reviewing pull requests and urgentlyfixing problems. That means we are unable to work on the milestones agreed with NLnet, and won’t receive payments from them. We are increasingly reliant on user donations to pay our bills. These donations currently add up to 1500 Euros per month, which is not even enough to pay minimum wage for the two of us. Hopefully more users can consider donating, so that we can put our full attention to making Lemmy better for everyone, and possibly add more developers to our worker co-op in the future.
I actually think, given how the usage share of the BSDs is a fraction of that of Linux or Windows, that OpenBSD is a textbook example of how "good enough" almost always trumps technical excellence.

Linux is unquestionably less "cohesive" and "organized" than BSD but I can't think of any reason to reach for BSD given Linux exists.
I wonder where site speed is measured from. If Google Ads and the measurements both take place without routing over the internet, they’d have an unbeatable latency advantage.
That's a great idea. I've been considering whether or not to use Cockroach Db at work, and I love the fact that it's distributed from the get go.

Why not work on something like that instead of changing something that works? Especially since they the process model really only runs into trouble on large systems.

Ask HN: Payment gateway for multi-vendor marketplace as an early stage startup?
I’m in the process of building a relatively typical e-commerce marketplace: vendor creates account, lists items, sells, platform takes a small fee. It focuses on a large and underserved market, a domain I know very well, and I’m excited to use it and share with the community.

I’m having trouble getting the payment piece sorted and I’d love to hear experiences and thoughts from anyone who’s been through this before.

My first choice for a payment gateway is PayPal, particularly the PayPal Commerce Marketplace. PayPal is already ubiquitous in the world that I work with. The sole large company who serves this space also uses it so it will make for an easier pitch to get folks to try my product. PPCP is a program within PayPal, the only on-ramp appears to be a form that you fill out and hope to hear back from someone. I spent all morning try to reach someone on the phone and struck out. I’ve been advised that they won’t talk to you at all if you don’t have a plan to reach $2M in the first year and an established business presence. I, a solo first-time founder (but no stranger to early stage startups), have neither a plan to reach that revenue immediately nor an established business to leverage. I’d like to focus on my product instead of pitching to PayPal.

Stripe Connect looks like the best alternative but it will make it harder for me to attract merchants. I’d need their Express product, which comes with additional fees. Their payout approach looks more expensive than PayPal and I’ve been told their merchant onboarding isn’t as pleasant.

Others? There’s Adyen, who I’m told won’t talk to anyone sub-Series A. Braintree seem to have closed their marketplace platform product in favor of PayPal’s. Square has limited support in Europe, where many of my merchants will be based.

I’m getting the impression that this is a domain that primarily wants the business of existing enterprises that are branching out, or maybe a certain type of startup that raises a lot of money before ever building anything. It’s frustrating and disheartening. My MVP is coming along, I plan on starting a small public trial soon, but I’m very concerned about the potential for this to derail me.

Anyone every build a company or product like this and run into these problems? Any advice, recommendations? I’d appreciate your help.
I think tourists still will not be able to directly walk onto the square.

The distinction between script and program is a legacy of how a lot of software worked 30 years ago.

Compiled systems languages were fast, but required slow, AOT compilation, often had poor interactivity, and dealing with aggregate types (including strings) was unwieldy.

So you wrote your libraries in programming languages, and you glued them together with scripting languages.

The lawsuit isn't asking a court to destroy Google's algorithms. It's demanding a competitive ad market that isn't monopolized by Google, so that content creators get a larger share of the revenue they are ultimately responsible for.
I'd say as long as the content that you're sharing is actual quality.
They are all programs.

But I personally use the word script to refer to small (in term of code) programs. That are very task specific, not necessarily robust to errors, with a lot of hard coded assumptions, and most often in some relatively slow interpreted language.

Chrome removes adsense ads very often for slowing down the rest of the page, at least in my experience. I doubt Google has anything in site speed that specifically ignores google's own ads.
Giving people food is like the oldest trick for engendering loyalty in the book. It is cheap, but feels personal. “There’s no such thing as free lunch” is a two-way street.

Plus, if you don’t have food on campus, your engineers might go out to lunch, which always takes much longer. Add to that, since they are going out anyway they might go around the cubes and grab their friends for a group lunch trip (might as well carpool if you are leaving campus, right?), so hopefully nobody needs a disruption free stint of work between like 11:00 and 1:00.

Sure, the paycheck helps, it is just the most expensive way to buy somebody’s attention.
I'm not throwing stones, but I think many people don't realize how hated these molecules are in the mental health community. If you were to tell your psych that you're taking psychedelics it could permanently limit your medical options, even outside of mental health... most therapists aren't much better.
On HN? I believe the awareness is high as it is.

Handing out pamphlets would have a bigger effect. But that would actually require real effort on your part...
I'd rather it helped people to write coherent questions rather than the usual dumping of a few irrelevant lines of logs onto the page and asking "please help".

> I call it program synthesis. In ChatGPT you can get ChatGPT to generate code, so this kind of already exists.

This is cool, but to be clear work on program synthesis predates ChatGPT by _decades_. For a long time the work was searching for a program which met some behavioral specification. Emphasis shifted later towards inductive "programming-by-example" where we synthesize a program based on a small set of inputs and outputs, in part because providing those examples is often easier than thinking through an exact "specification" of what you want.

I might entertain giving up remote if these clowns at the helm decided to get rid of crowded open office plans. I can’t stand open office plans and get anxiety thinking about being forced back into them. It’s one of the reasons I worked on getting a remote position even before the pandemic. I think I’ll leave the tech industry if it comes down to that being the only option.
Anecdotal but I administrated a small site a while ago that tried to monetize it's modest traffic with google Adsense. Everything was fine until we tried to "cash out" - google is fine taking your business until then, at which point you have to go through a completely automated "ID verification" process, and if you fail once, it's pretty much GG. We couldn't get "verified," and lost several thousand dollars that was in that account, and abandoned the service shortly thereafter.

If you look at Adsense reviews online there are hundreds if not thousands of similar stories. Straight up theft.
Well here's to hoping that once the dust settles from the current LLM revolution, we'll get some proper AI therapists out of it.

I've tested out some of the current LLama fine tunes that went in that direction and it's looking promising, if a bit crude and not quite smart enough yet at the moment. There's something far more comforting about having a non-human entity to talk to since it's always helpful, never dismissive, has no ulterior motives and it won't remember anything afterwards.
