ok, what if all those old people would get to be fit enough to do stuff?

how long would, or rather _could_, they really chill? All the old people I know wish they
were fit enough to be productive and constructive. Drugs and tech will provide this opportunity at some point in the near future.

And what is all this nonsense about social security and pension systems breaking down because the aging population outnumbers the working population??? Think about the exponential function. Everything will get more efficient. Up- and recycling, too. We only consume so much because nature had no way to be more efficient. That's where freaking sentient human beings come into the picture. And AI. I really don't understand the pessimism. If we set up an account on the wall street for every citizen of the planet and let robots do their magic, nobody would lose, everyone would gain. How? "MAGIC". I'm kidding. By ways of the exponential function. You can simulate it yourself. Are there more and more ideas waiting to get on the market or less? To fulfill some desire or need, to fix something that urgently needs fixing? More and more and it will never end. The amount of desires will keep growing. And everybody is misunderstanding the expanding universe. What do you think 100 cooperating billion humans will do? Cooperating in a decentralized way, how most of the economy works, minus the bad top level management and the inefficient ways of the stock markets (the greedy people). When has the human brain become sentient? And so incredibly powerful? After it grew to about 70? 80? 100 billions brain cells?

I'm in my thirties and so is my brother. We now laugh about the ways our parents grew stuff and procured food and stuff. And we realized that it took us so long to understand so many things because our psycho-social environment was too busy being drunk. Which is fine, because the top level management of the professional, local, regional, national and global systems are incredibly incompetent and nobody wants to harm anyone and or go to jail and leave the family worse off. We were slow for multiple reasons but now that we are catching up with the rest, and more importantly, our own potential, things will speed up exponentially.

I take care of the tech side and he gets into the whole sustainable gardening side of things. There is enough water and enough energy sources. The only problem to solve will be the chemicals in water, ground and air, but we are positive that there will be progress in the many approaches we have already found online and offline.

I used to like the term "self-fulfilling prophecy" until I understood it is equivalent to "the purpose of a system is what it does". People get smarter and improve systems. It's a beautiful and never-ending story.
If by "Updated" you mean they are looked at in the virtual DOM to determine if they have to update, then yes. But children aren't repainted onto the DOM just because their parent is. This still is Reactive
Car makers like BEVs because (a) no new infrastructure other than electricity which is available almost anywhere already and (b) none of that energy lost to compression or fancy cryogenic compression tanks to keep the hydrogen in the car or at the gas station. Lastly, most people don't want to go from $5/gallon gas to $10/gallon hydrogen.
> And what happens when you have orthogonal traits ? You have to implement a matrix of all valid permutations ?

No, you'd use polymorphism. As a silly example (but it demonstrates the technique), look at the phantom-typed builder pattern, where you can set the fields in any order you like but you can't build until you've set all of them.
No they have not. This is just a total misunderstanding of the technologies involved. Sadly for dumb marketing reasons 'solid state' has become the terms that is used, but that is the wrong term. The actual reason why 'solid state' was important is because people believe lithium metal anodes would only be possible with solid state. When we are talking about next generation 'solid state' we actually mean 'next generation li-ion batteries with lithium metal anode'.

The 'solid state' technology in buses that is talked about in that article is a totally different thing. That tech has been known to exist for a long time and is a totally different technology that has nothing to do with the hype around 'solid state'. Its 'lithium-polymer' that as a far narrower application and isn't all that interesting and certainly not some amazing next generation battery.

This is a sad issue in battery marketing world where people mix up what these technologies actually mean.

I think to him, money is just a utility to help do whatever he wants. Whether that is space exploration, trolling, stroking his ego,etc... it appears to be a manifestation of his insecurities with the whole twitter thing, because he found out that a lot of people don't like him despite money, power and acheivements like spacex. He can't wrap his head around the fact that being mean and lackig humility makes you likeable only by people who mistake arrogance for strength and cruelty for being decisive and doing what needs to be done. But the vocal majority for their own reasons didn't like him, so his purchase of twitter was him taking the reins and correcting twitter by getting rid of people who don't like him so that he can prove there is nothing wrong with him, it was everyone else (the former vocal minority) favored by the old twitter's ways that were wrong. He, in his narcissism is a bonafide hero, wronged by the people he's saving! Lol

But in seriousness, I have no idea why he gives a shit what people think of him or why he tries hard to prove he doesn't give a shit. A lot of things piss me off about him, one of those being how he doesn't value money yet he is a billionaire. Wasting money on things that you want makes a lot of sense, just wasting money because you don't value it enough, now that's something only a person who lacks dreams and vision, who hasn't earned most of his money would do.

>I'm just repeating a commonly held belief, hence the upvotes

That possibility ("a commonly held belief") indeed is the reason I thought it worth engaging.

I don't think I can see your upvotes, and discussing voting is against the guidelines.

>It's not as if I came up with this opinion out of thin air.

It would be unreasonable to assume you did. Yet that doesn't give me a hint where your opinions do come from, which is why I was - and am - asking.

>You don't know me.

That was the gist of my whole comment. It's unfortunate if the meaning of the whole thing was somehow inverted.

>You can't possibly know something like this from one comment on the internet

Something like what? You quoted a sentence that tried to communicate, in short, nobody can judge you.

My entire comment was a disclaimer or admission that I know nothing about you nor can I judge you, and a solicitation of information.

>It seems that others have said this to you in the past, and you are just parroting it to me

Every word I wrote was original to me and expressed my thoughts at least for one particular moment.

Do you think repeating beliefs that others hold is bad? I don't think it's good or bad in itself. By the repetition of an idea, you make it your own, and there is always a good reason for doing so...but that reason is unique to you and not made clear unless you choose.

Asking about your reasons may seem intrusive, like asking if you want to open yourself to bullying from all and sundry, but I strongly believe in this principle:

What convinces you of a thing is the best possible argument for convincing other people

Constructive dialogue on anything cannot take place without some willingness to treat discussion as more than a tactical game.

Not participating in constructive dialogue is everyone's right. The benefit to you, the carrot and not the stick, is that you might one day rightly convince someone, somewhere, in the world of something you believe in.

Who knows, you could be the first person to convince anyone of anything on the internet in the last half century.
If you had a 231 meter dam, with a membrane filter at the bottom, fresh water will come out at atmospheric pressure. It then has to be carried back up to sea level. You could power that pump with another hole in the dam, but then the non-sea side of the dam would constantly be filling up with water. Once it's full, there's no longer any pressure difference to drive a pump.
Show HN: IFS Technique Course for Healing Depression

It was a life-changing experience, and now I've created a Course to help others find their path to healing too. Join me on this transformative journey and discover the power of IFS Therapy for yourself.

Please let me know what you think. Your feedback is valuable to me!
Hydrogen is absolutely NOT safer than gasoline. This is a ridiculous claim. For starters, it’s an explosive gas rather than a flammable liquid.
> My wife (who is German) says that one factor is German history (nazis and the stasi), which makes people distrust any kind of central (digital) administration. So all databases are uncoupled from eachother, people prefer cash, etc.

True.

> Another thing that is really stifling in Germany is the hierarchy, there is so much formalistic bullshit around company/government/... hierarchies. I experienced this a lot when working with the university administration (I was a researcher/lecturer at a German university). No one dares to make choices that can have some impact, afraid that higher-ups, the court, or whatever will punish them for making the wrong choice. So they hide behind rules and necessary decisions are not made/postponed. Almost no one stands up to their leadership, so even they have wrong ideas, there is rarely any counterbalance.

This depends a lot on the company, and is something that you, in my experience, mostly experience at big companies, government-run companies and government agencies (this includes university administrations, even though at many faculties, things are completely fine (even many professors prefer to keep away from the university administration as far as it is possible in their job)). So, if you really don't like this, attempt to look for a smaller company as your employer and/or find a job in the private sector.
There are lots and lots of issues around fire. Its not correct that solid state automatically means fire is less. There are lots of technologies that play into that.
It is cheaper than building out the grid needed to power all cars. In fact, you use basically the same land that gas stations current use up. It is quite straightforward.

Attacks on efficiency are anti-hydrogen FUD arguments. They were made up by BEV companies and are almost entirely false. It's important to realize that fuel cells are electrochemical systems just like batteries. FCEVs are also EVs just like BEVs. There is no fundamental downside. The upside however is that you avoid the huge amount of raw materials needed for the batteries. So this will be a far cheaper solution once we hit mass production.

In short, it is pretty much guaranteed that we will eventually switch to hydrogen cars. It is only a question of when and not if.
Always, and in all ways
You are an account that is a couple hours old and has only talked about how bad electric is and how good hydrogen is.

> I think how whuffie was described here seems like something that will really exist and I don’t know if there were any sites displaying cumulative karma for people.

The book was written when slashdot.org was really big, it basically invented the "Karma" system. There was this idea of user generated and curated content being a bright happy new future, and DAOITMK basically shot that idea dead by showing all the faults such a system would have. Of course subsequent sites (re: reddit) have exhibited all of those flaws. HN stays reasonable because of the mods, but even so the culture is a lot different here than it was 10 years ago. When I first created an account here short comments almost always got downvoted, posters who didn't have anything substantial learned to stay quiet.

(The downside of that culture is people learned to type intelligent sounding long form fluff!)

Random thought: right now an LLM returns a probabilities distribution, an RNG sampler picks one and apoends it to the output, then the sequence repeats; but can the RNG instead pick N tokens that approximate the distribution, ask LLM to generate N new distributions, combine them somehow, then pick another set of N tokens from the combined dustribution?

Car makers are just following the subsidies and the hype. It is not even a sustainable idea and it will eventually die.

Hydrogen will eventually be nearly free. It is just going to be made from excess wind and solar energy and will follow the same cost reduction curve.

Most of the basic research is already publicly funded. Where pharmaceutical companies have huge expenses is in running large scale clinical trials necessary to bring drugs to market. In theory that work could be nationalized but in practice I doubt that government bureaucrats without a profit motive would make good choices. More likely they would operate based on political pressure and focus on whichever diseases have the loudest advocates.
Doesn't matter. The database still is on a public subnet on customer's network. All it takes is for someone to jack up some kind of white list or access rule and the entire database is exposed. It's an attack vector. You can't do this nearly as easily when the database is in a private subnet w/ no access to internet.

Is it better to keep an EV at 80% or to leave it between 50% and 80% for weeks?

Instead of 80% I'd say optimal voltage but I don't know what that is, and the car doesn't show me the battery voltage.

Why isn't there a setting to charge to optimize battery longevity? Even if that means the battery is at 70% or 75% or whatever.

Often I get home with 60%. Should I wait until I get home with < 50% before charging? Or just keep it at 80%?

It really isn't. The grid is literally already there! The only new infrastructure needed is at the end point. If you are going to be generating hydrogen from electricity anyways, it isn't any different, except maybe you need less electricity because going from electrons to hydrogen back to electrons again you lose 40% energy.

The BEV companies aren't pushing FUD. They are just choosing the option that they see the most demand from, and can make the most money from. Japan has tried to make hydrogen happen for 20 years now, and it simply isn't going to happen.

Batteries don't require much more raw material than the fancy cyrogenic compressed hydrogen tank and fuel cell you need for a hydrogen car. Those batteries are also than those two things also.

Biofuels aren't really a solution.

The problem with electricity is that you can't easily store it. And the only way to do so at large scale will be converting it to molecules. That implies hydrogen.

As a result, green electricity just means a nearly infinite supply of green hydrogen at the same level of cost. That implies nearly free hydrogen for any purpose.

Economically, that all leads to the hydrogen car as the future. You avoid both the weaknesses of ICE cars and BEVs.

AWS doesn't benefit from them resolving the ticket in a timely manner... or at all. AWS benefits from being able to put someone in between the customer and the rest of the company.

1. The planet is not a closed system. For what matters the planet has an infinite stream of (solar) energy getting in. So, no, we are not on a finite planet.

2. The plants do a pretty good job with the solar energy, is there some technical impossibility for humans to do the same?

3. Exponential growth can keep going for a while outside of the planet, the universe is pretty big.

Agree: with such a lack of imagination we are doomed.

not really imo

i'm really enjoy the resurgence of very minimal implementations of ml algorithms, because if you've recently tried performing inference on a sophisticated ml model in a way that's user friendly in any capacity, you know that it essentially involves pulling out your prayer book, rosary and incense, pulling like 20gb of python dependencies, 20 different frameworks, all of which breaks very easily, any minor difference in versioning is guaranteed to break the entire setup, with no hope of fixing it, it's just bindings on top of bindings on top of bindings, every other day a new library comes out that builds on top of existing libraries, introducing their new format, promising "deploy models in with 15 lines of python", then "10 lines of python", then "1 one of python", which essentially calls into a black box N layers of python on top of each other, calling into an extremely complicated C++ autodiff library, the source code of which can only be acquired by an in person meeting with some sketchy software engineer from czechia, all of which only works on python 3.10.2, cuda v12.78.1298.777 with commit aohfyoawhftyaowhftuawot, only compiled with microsoft's implementation of C++ compiler, with 10 non-standard extensions enabled, all of this OF COURSE only if you have the most optimal hardware

point is, if your implementation is a simple C project that's trivial to build/integrate into your project, it's significantly easier to use on any hardware, not just retro (popularity of llama.cpp is a great testament to that imo)
That's a good idea to tackle next. The project is only a few days old so I haven't added this yet. Will look into it! It does have memory context in the sense that as you chat, it will remember your messages, but there's no support for pre-populating the context from a document (though you could drop a bunch of content into the warmup prompt right now).

> Hydrogen will eventually be nearly free. It is just going to be made from excess wind and solar energy and will follow the same cost reduction curve.

How is that different from charging a battery at a super charger? Because it can be delivered via more expensive pipeline or trucks rather than cheaper wires? Heck, it doesn't even store well, you need to keep those tanks cold so the hydrogen stays compressed, you are going to be using more electricity for that.
Why no mention of a bucket bath? I think being clean is more valuable to me than the actual shower part. So I think I’d opt for the daily .75 gal or every other day 1.5 gal bucket and hand wash myself.

Maybe, but as always supply and demand are at play. Perhaps in the future these jobs will pay much more than “information only” jobs but there are also other dynamics involved as well.
