Our pediatrician said there was no reason to heat formula. We used powdered formula, just put it in a bottle with "cold" (i.e. unheated) tap water and shook it up right before feeding. Also great for traveling, you don't need a cooler/ice packs to keep mixed formula cool, just bring a bottle of water and mix with the powder as needed. Not storing formula in the bottles also means you don't need to sterilize bottles. Just wash them in the dishwasher and store them empty/dry. We never heated baby food in either, just opened the jar and fed it.
> We need to take immediate action to reduce our carbon footprint and prevent further damage to our planet.

We do.

Unfortunately the lag in the system is huge; if we somehow stopped oil use tomorrow, it would be some time, possibly decades, before temperatures even stopped rising and began to fall.
An interesting addition is that a small amount of radioactivity might even be good for you:

> then you make a browser extension to spot that pattern and indicate it to the users "in some way"

If that's an Open standard, and if that browser extension is Open Source, then anyone who wants to avoid that can mess with the final image until the Open Source free standard that everyone is using no longer detects the image.

The only way this is viable is with DRM or a closed service; if it's a standard everyone follows, then circumventing it is trivial. The only way it would work is if it's shrouded in secrecy and attackers can't freely use red-team against the tool. These kinds of watermarks work when there's a very limited pool of people checking for the watermarks, they don't tell people who the watermarks are generated, and they don't tell people how to check for the watermarks.

But that's not really useful for the current situation -- we don't want to further entrench these companies and we don't want it to be costly to check if an image is AI-generated.

I don't think it's viable to do this without significantly curtailing user agency or designing a system that is fully opaque and inaccessible to most people.
Forgive your younger self, we all had our own coping strategies.
My coping mechanism was that, if I only I lived in South Korea I'd fit in and be popular and happy. I learned as adult the social hierarchy is just as cruel there as it is in America.

It's very hard to stay away from everything that is bad for you...We do use some stainless pots for cooking, because really there is no 100% good alternative: cast iron pots are waay too heavy, ceramic can contain heavy metals in the glazing, glass can explode if not handled properly...and there isn't a pot-like glass option anyway (something you need for a soup or stew).

Our cutlery and cooking utensils are stainless, but when possible we use plain wood spoons (not the kind that is glued).

Is there a good alternative to stainless for these things? let me know.

I am aware of silicone issues, it's usually not in contact with our food.
Interesting. Fortunately, this never happened to me anywhere, and I've been to quite a few around the globe :)

Consider this: There are people much much smarter than you RIGHT NOW that you do not listen to or refuse to agree with. There are clear statistics RIGHT NOW about things that you choose to disbelieve. If you don't think this is true, then it is even more the reality. The idea that a very smart "AI" can magically convince anyone of anything is completely unsubstantiated and made entirely up, by people basically inventing a new god and religion. Everything about the human brain is built around rationalizing what you already want into whatever system you pretend to believe in and use, and an AI could tell you something completely true, completely accurate, completely right from a magical objective morality and you STILL would not choose to believe it.
So electric cars simplified the mechanical, but massively complicated the software. I'm not sure which is better. Surely not having to physically bring your car in is an improvement. But mostly invisible "software" causing a safety issue worries me more than something mechanical you have a chance at detecting yourself.
Just like with guns, you assume a circuit is energized until you prove it isn’t; similar to how you assume a gun is loaded until you prove it isn’t.

If you’re certain a circuit is de-energized and you lock out the breaker or disconnecting means with a LOTO kit, it’s as safe as you can reasonably assume it to be, someone would need to cut off a lock with bolt cutters and turn the breaker or switch back on for the circuit to become re-energized.
There are decades of well defined laws (and case law) regulating discrimination in hiring, housing, commerce, etc. Why should software be treated any differently?

Because it's just too relevant, I'm forced to link to a blog post I did a while back where I did some Yes / Dean inspired play with Stable Diffusion. I really liked the results. A full "music video" for Close to the Edge is somewhere down the middle of my long list of project ideas. I ran the numbers at some point and figured I could generate all the video with Replicate for $100 or so, which is expensive... but I'm enough of a Yes fan that it might be worth it to me.

I'm not sure about this. As I understand it, burning fossil fuels to generate electricity at a central facility is far more efficient than running millions of small engines.

You could buy a Nio. The battery pack is swappable in 6 minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmWL1hZQmD0

You can either buy the battery or use a battery subscription. The subscription allows you to upgrade or downgrade your battery as needed. Nio's biggest pack is 150 kWh: https://cnevpost.com/2023/07/07/nio-user-manuals-include-150...
Personally I enjoy the terms “Persona” and “Expressions”, alongside “Aura”, the name for interactions. I feel they give the service some much needed flair in a sea of similarity. Plus I’m a big JRPG fan, so it tickles me to say I have a “Persona”.

A few months ago, I did some analysis on JSON data in our platform, and discovered that more than two-thirds of bytes were field names. Two thirds! That’s a lot of potentially unnecessary extra bytes.

In my case, I was thinking about storage costs for JSON data; but thinking about this use case: Isn’t it true that the CPU would have to spend basically three times as much time making FFI calls? Assuming that practically speaking, field names make up 2/3rds of the bytes in their real-world JSON data.
As they use to say "Why buy a fax if no one owns a fax."

If we have that many charging stations there is no need for humongous batteries, they can have lighter frames and engines, be cheaper to buy and repair, less road tax.

As the real Tesla use to say: Balance the source with the load.

It remains dubious where all that electricity should come from. When making a budget and your spending is still larger than your income you look for places to cut. If most of your money goes towards transporting suitcases of money one might consider if there is a need to bring that much.

if hydrogen cant compete it will just die out. Worth a shot tho.
I am pretty sure I have seen a video about exactly that experiment... Will see if I can find it again.
You’re complaining that the infrastructure details are bleeding into the intrastructure implementation?
Not sure why you assume the cost of battery replacement will be the same now and in 10 years.
This is the reason we opted for building our own code gen system instead of Thrift or Protobuf: they both generate really ugly code in the languages we wanted to use

It actually can make a major difference because the differential shrinks quite a bit, and the rate of heat shedding is proportional to that difference. If your device has a maximum temperature of 50 degrees (probably dictated by the battery controller), it can shed 3 times less energy at 40 degrees than at 20 degrees. From there, every degree matters: at 45 degrees, it's 1/6 and at 47 it's 1/10.

These are temperatures you can easily reach in the sun, in cars, or in enclosed spaces like backpacks.
Ask HN: Experience increased breakages with advent of SPAs?
Is it just me? Or does it seem like online web portals are more brittle now and days? I've noticed nearly everything, from my local credit union, to my gas utilities company, to my lease web portal, are all written as SPAs. And I see little reason for them. They mostly need to render and input basic information. Seems like engineering overkill. And as a result, I find they are always broken in some fashion. Pages fail to fully load. Back button introduces broken state. All kinds of other wonky behavior. I don't remember sites being as broken as this in the past when they were written as MPAs.
not only do we create it, but it’s stimulated by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. You know like ibuprofen that everyone takes all the time.

Some things just become so well-known and ingrained in the culture (in certain circles) that writing them out fully feels excessively long, especially when mentioned several times in a conversation. Most software engineers do not expand abbreviations like RAM or GPU or RDBMS.

OTOH it's really important to spell them out at a right time, to help people not yet in the know understand them. So thank you!

I would like to see lots of slow chargers at hotels. Being able to just plug in when you arrive and leave it overnight is more useful than a few quicker chargers where you need to switch cars between them.
Protobuf is incredibly annoying to use with rust (my usecase was specifically rust to-rust) because of how limited protobuf's type system is. For instance there is no way to represent an `Option` type because protobuf has decided that if something is no present, then it is really some default value instead. The only workaround I found was to have both `foo` and `is_fo_set` fields, which required having duplicate copies of every datatype one for (de)serialization and one for actually using in my codebase, manually implementing changes between them. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing show-stopping, but it was definitely a death by a thousand cuts situation for me.

Though, I know that another team at the same company loved it, but they were all in on java (and groovy and kotlin). As I understand it protobuf meshes with Java's type system much better (and probably Go's too?).

---

I did some benchmarking on various formats/rust libraries when we were deciding on what the protocol should be used for ^ and, IIRC, JSON fared better than you'd have expected. My assumption is that JSON just has had way more eyes/hands on the implementation than anything else. The things that I can remember beating it were (1) bincode, (2) cbor, and (3) protobuf, then JSON was #4.

In retrospect I wish we'd have gone with bincode, but we weren't sure if we were going to need some java code to interact with this service at the time and, at least at the time, bincode was rust-only (and possibly not even stable between compiler releases?). It would have been much faster to develop with and there was a whole bunch of overhead from protobuf that didn't really do anything for us since we were talking over a unix domain socket within a single system.

As opposed to the fuel of ICE engines which is literally just burned away into the atmosphere causing the earth to warm, and people to die from heat?

I think there is a back of the napkin calculations you can make here. How many ICE engines are actually rebuilt after they die? How much fuel does the average ICE engine spend? How does this compare to a battery ending up in a landfill?

Also worth considering—since you are giving the ICE engine the benefit of being recycled/rebuilt—batteries can be recycled, whether they will be is up to your government’s policy. You should perhaps include that in you back of the napkin calculations.
> absolutely doesn't meet the bar for a national security threat that justifies government intervention in software development.

The idea that the only basis for government action is “national security threat” is... very far from a consensus view.
I see 1-2 a month, but they're all Mirai and I only know of 2-3 charging stations within 10mi/20km.
You're leaving out evaporation. A black hole with the mass of a mountain would evaporate on the order of a second.

That would also release energy the equivalent of ~20M megatons of TNT, which is half a million times that of Tsar Bomba and around that of the KT event. The Swiss wouldn't be too upset about anything.
115F is 46C.

I was surprised to learn that iPhones and iPads are only specified to operate between 0-35C (32-95F) ambient[1] -- even cheap consumer-grade ICs typically work up to 70C/158F. 95F/35C is a perfectly ordinary outdoor temperature during the peak of summer in America's south, and temperatures below 32F/0C are common anywhere it snows. (0C is the standard lower limit of the consumer temperature grade, however.)

I suppose cooling such a small, dense device much be difficult, and having everything pressed against the battery (with its presumably lower temperature limit) probably doesn't help either. Still, I feel like a portable electronic device ought to be able to work in places other than California.

“How often does a Tesla battery need to be replaced? There haven't been many electric cars that needed battery replacement, but according to Elon Musk, your Tesla batteries last for 300,000 to 500,000 miles, or 1,500 battery cycles. That's around 22 to 37 years for someone driving an average of 40 miles a day.”

That’s the top answer from google but wouldn’t be surprised if that wasn’t true?

Show HN: I trained a 65B LLM on my texts to talk to myself (details inside)
I trained the 65b model on my texts so I can talk to myself. It's pretty useless as an assistant, and will only do stuff you convince it to, but I guess it's technically uncensored? I'll leave it up for a bit if you want to chat with it.

I posted this to Reddit and had several hundred people talking to it. Salient points from that discussion:

LLAMA 1 65b

Rank 128

5 epochs

Batch size 1, 256 cutoff

Trained in the Oobabooga suite using bitsandbytes 4-bit quantization for the lora

Loss around 1.5 seems to give the most coherent results

Trained on raw text dumps that is then parsed by a crappy Blazor Server app I threw together in a few hours. Text format is just "Sender:The Message\n"

Trained on 2x 3090

Training took about 16 hours at a 90% power cap on the 3090's

Trained on ~30k texts (I talk a lot, that was just 2 years)

There's nothing telling it that it's a robot, though it sometimes seems to know

It was largely inspired by the Unreal Engine lora tutorial

I generated a list of fake names and addresses, pulled a list of my contacts, and then scripted out swapping the names and addresses for fictitious PII. I don't really send other sensitive data through text and my account is so thoroughly associated with my real name/location that the data leakage risk is manageable for the short period of time I'll have this available. It tends to halucinate fake PII as well which I think is partially a side effect of the data scrubbing. You'll notice it says things like that I live at 420 Ligma.

I'll need to mix in some actual assistant tasks to the dataset before it will actually be useful as an assistant. Right now it's largely just for idle conversation.

It's pretty ADHD and will randomly go off on its own tangents. I don't think it's the model. I think I just talk like that.

Let me know if you have any questions or comments. I built it for myself, but figured I'll let the communities that have taught and entertained me so much play with it a little, too.

Note: it says some pretty unhinged stuff. There's absolutely no guardrails. It also tends to talk like you're already friends with history.

This rings true to me. The way scrum works in practice is a, forgive my language, perverse inversion where the process has become the goal and the outcomes are less important.

I worked with 4 weeks, 2 weeks and 1 weeks sprints, and with 'just kanban' as well. I now work with Shape-Up, where the build cycle is 4 to 6 weeks, but rather than having a backlog we just have a defined (and designed) problem solution and get to create user stories (or whatever) when we need it and often fill in a significant amount of detail as we start tackling the problem space.

We started working in pairs, sometimes but not always pair programming, so most of the planning work is just with your buddy and fairly ad-hoc, it doesn't cost the whole team. This works pretty well.

But a good team will invent an ad-hoc 'process' on the fly as is required to solve problems, without descending into chaos.

It seems men just don't care as much about social norms, which I just chalked up to autism when I was younger. Now I realize after getting married to a wonderful husband, and having kids, that's it's a survival mechanism. They don't get nearly as much societal help as women, and so social norms are far less relevant to them.

Women care a great deal about social norms/"brutal" hierarchy, but we can also get a lot more from it. So it tends to be enabled at every rung of the hierarchy.

A plugin is a separate code module that wordpress loads, surely those are not bound to the wordpress core license. Extending wordpress with non-wordpress owned code does not grant them the right to push their license onto somebody else's completely unrelated code. If that were true, nobody would ever be able to sell a proprietary app on any linux distro. GitLab is open core yet extends the functionality with enterprise under a different, proprietary license.
