This is not CARB’s first rodeo so I’d be surprised if they weren’t figuring this out in the agreement. I’m not familiar with this agreement but I’d speculate something like: It sounds like the manufacturers are getting things they want too, which means that if they want to keep those concessions in place, they have to honor their side of the agreement, independent of whether a court says CARB could force a specific piece of their regulations. (I suppose if a court said CARB couldn’t enforce any regulation then the agreement would be moot, but if they leave anything intact then the manufacturers would presumably be best served by keeping up the deal.)

CARB’s history and track record working through bending the arc of the industry for this type of thing is pretty good, even without Mary Nichols at the helm.

(Another thing worth noting here is most car manufacturers have had a large preference towards consistency and stability in their regulatory agreements, so they often would prefer to sit down and plan a timeline for transitions that doesn’t keep changing around on them and their peers.)
Code and device approval are basically minimum standards. For example it's common wisdom to avoid "backstab" connections on receptacles, yet (at least one) NRTL keeps their approval, and they keep selling them. Go image search for "receptacle backstab" and see all the melted ones.

Or look at how romex/NM (doesn't) hold up to mild rodent activity.

I'm not saying that Wagos are in the same category as receptacle backstabs. The point is there are definitely quality/safety reasons to choose one approved method over another.

You're implicitly making a claim that's something like: "If a government hosts elections, any decision made by that government reflects The Will of The Majority in the country it rules." That's not true at all.

Let's set aside the complexities of how governments are formed in a parliamentary system, and also ignore the subversion of representative government by lobbying. This is really simple: there was no vote on this in any western government. And in fact, political parties that explicitly oppose further mass immigration to Europe are gaining rapidly in popularity. But the governments actively subvert them. For example, there is talk of outright banning Alternative for Germany, a political party in Germany opposed to mass immigration.
that's interesting. any suggestions for books, blogs etc about specifically such aspects of the bible?

i read the ot in german standard translation coined by luther and a modern (but conservative) translation of the nt by kammermayer.

my disappointing take away was how dull and boring the bible is. i didn't find much inspiration in it. and i am spiritually inclined with an open mind towards christian mysticism.

but of course the bible as we know it is a disfigured and violated excerpt of a larger partly secret canon. so to understand it better precisely stuff like apple/fruit or girl/virgin are relevant and also make it more interesting.
The status right now is that you have one identity for each service you interact with. If that service decides to ban you or goes down or you get your identity stolen, you lose that identity, but keep your identity on all of the other services you use. In the worse case, if you didn't tell people about your other identities ahead of time, they may still search for you and find you somewhere else.

If several services recognized your identity by virtue of having the same domain name, the fallout from losing that identity is much worse: you lose access to all these services at once, and whoever gets the domain name next will gain access to all of your followers and have a pre-built history. And if one service decides to ban you, you'll be exactly where you were if your identity was specific to that service.

So, with DNS-based cross-service identities, you are at best in the same place as having service-specific identities, and at worse, much worse off.

Additionally, a service which bans your account will typically not give the same name to a new user, or, even if they do, they will still separate the two identities / cleanup all previous posts. A DNS registrar will absolutely give the same domain to someone else if you stop paying for it, and any services which recognize that as your identity may not even know that a change in ownership has taken place.

Who is still using restricted shared hosts? I used to use a Dreamhost account like that, but it was years ago. I thought everybody had moved to virtualization for which these hacks don’t help. Am I wrong? Or are new shades/restricted Linux systems still being deployed?
As for voting restrictions I think it would be reasonable to restrict national voting people that can pass the same naturalization test that immigrants seeking citizenship do. I would implement it as part of high school civics courses. Every kid raised in the US should have no issue passing the English and civics tests required of immigrants. Unfortunately, with the decline of civics courses in public schools I suspect there are large number of people today that would fail to pass a basic citizenship test.

NYC is 1 city. Europe is 50 countries. To say you broadly generalized is to understate by a mile. Let's narrow it down to high density mixed cities like Paris or Berlin and you may be onto something, but in reality you also have to be in a bad part of Berlin, or a particularly high density tourist area. Most cities and countries overall in Europe are completely safe. Most are actually much safer than even notoriously safe US cities.
This is not a "construction industry practice" it's just an unethical business practice usually to underpay illegal immigrants. It's a crime and you will go to prison when you piss off the wrong guy you're underpaying.
Couldn't agree more. I think the issue is that school budgets are limited and music programs are perennially on the chopping block because they are among the most expensive and are seen as the least critical to education. The band directors fall into a cycle of needing to justify the investment by getting the kids to play the most impressive piece that they are capable of playing, even if the kids learn absolutely nothing along the way.

And have you ever tried to get 50 kids to do the same thing for five minutes? Even if that thing is sitting still, it's virtually impossible. If it's playing a song at the limit of their musical ability? You'd have a better time swallowing a shovel.

So there is a large supply of high density housing?

If housing prices are going up and higher density housing isn't going up then you have regulation blocking it.

After all if people are willing to pay a $2,000 mortgage for a home you can put 4 apartments in that space and trivially get $1,000 rent for each.

Note that doesn't scale down much and so lower cost of living places not going high density makes sense.

In either case a normal sized house in Southern California isn't worth over a million dollars because of material costs and only indirectly due to regulation. The core reason is always demand outstrips supply.

OP is saying "you can't have a balance if you restrict the supply".

The CCS chargers have an emergency stop button. You can twist it (or whatever) to bring it back online.

From what I can tell, people press it instead of dealing with the touch screen.

90% of the problems I've had come down to payment processing issues. They all thought they should bundle a crappy social network with the ability to pay for charging, and installed buggy / broken card readers.

Ford made it pretty clear they're supporting NACS because they sent people to chargers to see if they could charge or not, and the failure rate was way above the networks' reported broken charger rate.

I don't think the switch to the supercharger network has anything to do with the charging technology.

Having said that, can you pay to charge a tesla with a credit card? Does it actually work reliably? If the other networks are any indicator, that's the hardest technical challenge in this space.
Imagine you have a special device that can control the flow of microwaves. This device is like a gate that only lets the waves pass through in one direction and blocks them from going the other way.

To make this device, we use a special circuit with two parts. These parts are like mixers that combine different waves together. When we put the waves into these mixers, they change a little bit and become different from how they were before.

The waves that come out of the mixers are then combined together again. Even if they changed a little bit, we can still put them together. It's like putting puzzle pieces together even if they don't match perfectly.

The cool thing is that when the waves go through this device, they behave differently depending on which direction they're going. It's like a one-way street. If the waves go in one direction, they can pass through the device without any problems. But if they try to go in the other direction, they get blocked and can't pass through.

The device that was described in the abstract was made using parts that are easily available. It worked really well and blocked the waves from going in the unwanted direction, giving us more than 17 times less of those waves.

The abstract also mentions the possibility of making an even better device using a different kind of part that can make the waves stronger. It's like giving the waves a little boost. This new device could be made very small and fit on a tiny chip.

So, in simple terms, the abstract is talking about a device that can control the flow of microwaves and only let them go in one direction

Yep. No argument there. Which definitely cuts both ways though. The 'weak on crime' DA in SF was lambasted and ultimately recalled for a crime spike that was smaller in magnitude than the crime spike in much of the country in areas with all manner of DAs and Policing policies.
I would hope that drivers aren’t messing around in the cargo hold while driving - that sounds far more distracting than a touch screen control.
My wife works at an EV company and they have areas designated "high vandalism" areas which completely changes the design of the charger. It still happens but they try to combat it. Often times, the high vandalism areas are also the areas where state and federal grants are given so they end up installing it anyway due to the easy money.
> When you let immigrants in you acknowledge that you're letting change in.

While I agree with you completely on this (though unfortunately we draw different conclusions from this agreed-on premise)… This is simply not what the message has been on immigrants since, I dunno, probably the 1960s or 1980s. The populace hasn’t always been given a choice whether to let immigrants in or not, but in the cases where they did have a choice, they were told immigrants would not change the character of the nation, only improve it. Sometimes this was called assimilation, but this message was delivered in other ways as well.

If the populace had been given an honest choice of “yes immigrants + yes change” or “no immigrants + no change”, your argument would carry more weight for me, but it’s my impression that instead they have been receiving a consistent and solid message that they can choose “yes immigrants + no change”, which is probably where the resistance to change is coming from. It’s not fair (and more prosaically, not effective) to rugpull those people and tell them actually, it was “yes immigrants + yes change” all along.
I guess I won't bother taking beta alanine then? I'm not sure how you conclude that ingesting something that disagrees with tea means that tea is bad. I used to drink more tea and now drink more water, perhaps because I exercise more which might raise beta alinine levels. But I haven't noticed any ill effects and greatly enjoy the large cup of tea I have at the end of my workout.
I should have been more specific, or understood the question more generally as "can you actually negotiate with the hospital on your bills?"

I listen to quite a lot of Scott Galloway and my takeaway from listening to him online is outside of tech and finance he doesn't know shit about jack. Even in the west unemployment is still quite high for >25yo. He believes the US should have national service similar to Israel, yet dances right around the apartheid that makes mandatory service necessary. Also, he's rich, if shit hit the fan I'm fairly certain it won't be his own kids on the frontline. It's quite easy to demand commitment from other people you wouldn't voluntarily do yourself.

This comes up a lot, but similar to people complaining about wikipedia reverting their edits, no one seems to even care if it is on balance a good policy or not. They're too caught up in their own injustice.

Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't, I don't know but I have to at least consider that a few innocent kids getting suspended unfairly for being attacked might be worth it if it prevents more attacks that escalate further.

You could even argue the opposite, that if you're going to get suspended for being attacked you might as well try to bite their ear off and go down fighting, but no one does, they just focus on the innocent kid getting suspended.
I feel like all the caveats and "as a large language model" stuff would ruin the mood. I wonder if they've found or negotiated a workaround? Seems like an obvious use case, but poorly suited to a general public model that's been heavily constrained in what it can say.

Puberty blockers are given to kids all the time for things as frivolous as them not being tall enough, and have a benign safety profile, especially when they're discontinued before the age of ~16 (which is the case here).

They've been used for more than 40 years and few grave side effects have been recorded. It's not a new thing, as I've said, it was and still is fairly common for short kids to be put on GnRH blockers.

GPUs to demo inference at scale: calling for ideas/use-cases
HN Hey!

At salad.com we're launching a GPU Cloud that runs atop consumer hardware. Great for inference/tuning, not great for training (because of networking, vram restrictions, etc).

We've built a fully managed container service so you can easily deploy replicas at massive scale and we just ran a Stable Diffusion demo: churned out 9 million images in 24hrs across 750 GPUs (100+ images/second and 5000 images/$). Architecture and specifics here salad.com/resources/gpu-benchmark-stable-diffusion

We're thinking our next run will be to customise the SD models (various checkpoints & LoRAs) to demo something closer to real-world.

We'll also run whisper-large at massive scale to demo a million hours of transcription, and get a benchmark price on this.

Perhaps webscraping/common-crawl at scale with GPU processing at the edge: building datasets for LLM training?

Question for the HN community, what would you run?

We'd love your suggestions, and perhaps hand over the keys to see what you can do with 1000's of GPUs!
