I really don't think that's necessary. Just by having reasonable proximity to Public trashcans radically reduces littering.

Some level of perceived enforcement is required, but in reality it just needs to be a sign with a high fine on it. And finally some level of public funded cleanup groups and you can get pretty far with keeping spaces clean.

Yes, that's correct! Scientists at Purdue University have indeed developed a special white paint that has the ability to cool buildings. The paint is designed to reflect nearly all the sunlight that hits its surface, preventing the building from absorbing the sun's heat and keeping it cooler.

This innovative paint is known as "ultra-white" paint. Its unique formulation consists of a high concentration of barium sulfate, which gives it its exceptional reflective properties. Barium sulfate is a common compound used in various applications due to its ability to scatter light effectively.

By applying this white paint to the exterior of buildings, it can significantly reduce the need for air conditioning and help lower energy consumption, especially in hot climates. This could potentially have a positive impact on both energy efficiency and the environment.

Researchers are continuously exploring new ways to develop energy-efficient technologies, and this ultra-white paint is a promising development in the field of sustainable building materials.
No, I was using experience with ebikes to explain that battery specs need to be halved for useful range consideration. For car I need about 400 miles range to replace my has car, so 800 advertised would work for me.
Technically what Virgin Galactic has is very unique. It's uniquely suited to killing people even moreso than the Space Shuttle.

"How to Do Great Work"

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36550615

Arbeit macht frei.

> Do unforgettable work. This is not hyperbole.

It was hyperbole from the first sentence on. I feel lied to.

> Hand-written notes and flowers and donuts are cute but completely forgettable.

No. It's not. Business is more about relationships than 'unforgettable work'. Most clients would prefer to work with people they like who are competent than someone they don't like who does unforgettable work.
> Emoji... builds on top of the same primitives like Chinese characters

It does not, and if you think it does it's obvious you didn't read UAX 29. GB11 is the most complex rule and only applies to emoji (well, and other Extended_Pictographics if you don't want to call the legacy pictographics emoji, but no Chinese).
I'm really grateful to Brave and Brave search for the alternatives they provide. Firefox is still my main browser, but Brave is an easy, reliable option when I come across a (thankfully increasingly rarer) website that refuses to work on Firefox (and happens to be an essential website in some way).

I would use it a lot more if it was better about coping with low memory (4 GB) systems. This is possibly something they inherited from Chromium, but Brave is very memory hungry compared to Firefox, and is much quicker to slow down when there's 10+ tabs - Firefox on the same computer is able to cope much more easily with multiples of that. It's like using an old school Windows system, Brave has to be restarted periodically or it slows down dramatically, and starts responding erratically to UI interactions. I can have multiple Firefox profiles open, and a Librefox instance on the side too, and they all work fine; as soon as Brave is open, there's a tangible difference in the performance, of both the browser itself and the system as a whole.
The death penalty should be abolished entirely, even though it may indulge the public thirst for "justice", driven by superficial motives. Adhering to a modern and enlightened worldview, the consumption of drugs should be the choice of each individual. Sentencing someone to death for the mere consumption and possession of drugs has nothing to do with protecting the public, but with ideological cleansing, especially regarding certain drugs

The worst part of climate change is our response. As world conditions worsen we burn more fossil fuels to simulate cooling/heating. It's a positive feedback loop. The more intense the summers get, and the cold snap of winter, the more fossil fuels we need, which then worsens further worsens the greenhouse gas effect. Then we need more fossil fuels on more days and so on. We aren't striving to consume less but to instead create green illusions and box ourselves in virtual reality or simulations. Maybe the simulation technologists say we are in is actually the one we focus on creating as Earth deteriorates more from our over-consumed lives.

The X5 hybrid is a wonderful car to drive, but as an EV it's... not good. You get less than 1/10th the range of a full Tesla Model Y (< 30 miles), using a battery that's 1/3rd the capacity. I assume some of the lost efficiency is due to the X5's higher curb weight, but it's only about ~1200lbs heavier (4,416 vs. 5,646 pounds) which doesn't seem to justify a 3x efficiency difference.

The BMW also includes a tiny 16A charger, whereas the old i3 had a 32A charger. This limits charging to ~3 range-miles per hour, making public chargers basically pointless (again compare to the LR Tesla Model Y which has a 48A charger and can add 40+ range-miles in an hour.) In gas-only hybrid mode, the mileage is ~19 MPG, which is actually kind of offensive for a hybrid car.

Show HN: Subset – Spreadsheet building blocks on an infinite canvas
Hey HN! We’re excited to show you Subset (https://subset.so)! Subset is a spreadsheet on an infinite canvas where you can drop in spreadsheet building blocks and connect them together to easily build good looking analytical tools.

My cofounder and I both worked in finance before this. We quit our jobs and learned to code to build the spreadsheet we always wanted.

We got frustrated with how much time was wasted recreating the same thing from scratch or trying to extract something reusable from a previous spreadsheet. We wanted a spreadsheet with more composability and a community of building blocks to work off of.

Why infinite canvas? Reusability is not really a first class concept in a traditional endless spreadsheet grid [1]. A canvas felt more intuitive. You can communicate data flow, better understand inputs/outputs, and quickly make data presentable.

Subset is browser based and real-time multiplayer. It is free to use. We haven’t figured out a pricing model yet, but we imagine it’ll be a freemium SaaS model.

We’ve spent a lot of time on getting the core spreadsheet functionality as close to Sheets/Excel as possible, but there’s a lot more to do here. This list could be endless, but let us know if we need anything in particular.

Here’s a couple templates to explore:

Splitting a bill that includes sharing items - https://subset.so/templates/how-to-split-a-bill
Calculating the cap rate and cash yield on real estate investments - https://subset.so/templates/quick-real-estate-deal-calculato...

We love spreadsheets and we think this combination of a canvas + reusable blocks has the potential to solve some of the biggest challenges with spreadsheets themselves.

Let us know what you think!

I am aware of a few underground scenes that are doing this. It seems like it's possible for one of them to break out into public consciousness and gain traction eventually.
I'd need to do some quick math to double-check but very rough ballpark estimates still make me think Teslas can be pushed by a single person. After all, a single strongman can pull a passenger airliner, and any car is nearly impossible to push uphill -- you have to really get some momentum built up first to let them coast up driveways/etc.
I don't think so, cold and cycle degradation still impact range the same. Maybe battery heaters?

On the contrary, critical scenarios is exactly where tech and AI helps a lot.

You'd think Pilot would be the last type of 'vehicle driver' that would be automated. On the contrary, they were the first to adopt almost 100% self-driving.

> mental

We are finding curious things like 'playing tetris is the most effective way to avoid trauma'. Doctors will help in lab and diagnostic work, but the inference of what solution to administer might actually come from an AI. Ofc, similar to flight, the most challenging situations will still be 'manned' (like fighter jets or non-routine surgery)

Healthcare is inaccessible and understaffed in most parts of the world. If AI doctors can be better than the bottom-10-percentile doctor coming out of a US med-school, then they should be adopted wholesale.
Not just from the REPL, but from the REPL in the context where the error occurred, without having to structure the code ahead of time to support this. It’s not always an important distinction, but it’s handy when prototyping or if the error is difficult to reproduce.

There are some other affordances for interactive programming, such as a standard way to update existing instances of classes. I’m sure you could implement this sort of functionality in any language, but this is universal and comes for free in Common Lisp.

CL also has other interesting features such as macros, multiple dispatch, compilation at runtime, and being able to save a memory snapshot of the program. It’s quite unique.
RDS can have replication.

But more than that: servers should be stateless! A server going down should never take down your business.

If you use Postgres, and stateless servers, then if a server goes down it's no problem, it gets rebooted and there may be other servers and a load balancer to pick up the load. If Postgres goes down, you have a replica, or it gets rebooted, and Postgres always recovers from crashes (in my experience), and if it doesn't you have PITR.

AWS has everything under the sun to prevent this kind of thing happening. This is a 1990's outage. This didn't have to happen.
Ask HN: How to give a crash course on Git?
I'm trying to build an application with a novice programmer. I need to teach him the fundamentals of working with Git and I'm hoping to find an approach that he won't find overwhelming. I'm a Linux/CLI guy. He is a Windows/VS Code guy. He has almost no familiarity with Git. I know he will be much more comfortable using GUI tools. The problem is that using Git through a GUI is very counter-intuitive for me. Do I need to just bite the bullet and spend a few days trying to familiarize myself with the tools he will be using or can I separate the technology from the tools when trying to teach him? More broadly, how do you approach teaching someone something differently than you would do it yourself?
See - I read that exact same message, and applying my "contract legalese" filter I come away with the utter opposite opinion.

"we reserve the right to disable or remove any website project on Netlify’s Free Usage Tier without notice at our sole discretion"

That's the promise. Full stop. Everything else is filler words to make that seem more palatable to people.

You are being misled because you are not reading the contract as "a list of things netlify MUST do". Making assumptions based on anything else is folly - you are trusting a commercial entity to be "nice" and that's a really, really bad thing to trust them to do.
This sounds very tiresome,...for both parties involved.

Yeah difficult to say! I assume it's satire on the grounds it just surely can't be real, but I'm not sure.

The only tells for me that this is satire are

(a) Remembering the -10x post

(b) "Create arbitrary rules and rituals"

(c) "If a client mentions that they collect spoons, visit a local antique store and mail them some local finds" combined with "Hand-written notes and flowers and donuts are cute but completely forgettable." So on one side you should send them stuff, on the other side you shouldn't.

Tbh though, going up a mountain is insanely more energy consuming than regular driving, so the range indicator can't possibly take this into consideration ahead of time unless you chart a specific trip. In the other direction, I've had the experience of the battery charge level continuously increasing while going down a long mountain road - infinite range!
This is how that scenario shakes out:

1. Key person gets hit by bus
2. You see the black bar on Hacker News and learn the sad news
3. You go download all your data from the service, which is still up because there is no bus access to data centers.
4. You feel like a jerk for all your creepy "hit by bus" talk.
5. A few weeks later, some VC-funded operation with multiple employees you depended on disappears overnight without a trace.

> the devices as sold and authorized to be on the road (or in patients' hospital rooms) don't get modified in dangerous ways

What use is preventing dangerous modifications, when unmodified devices contain critical safety bugs, and will continue to contain them. The ongoing effort by automakers is increasing the amount of safety bugs by connecting everything to the internet without proper security practices.

The only reason to require signed firmware/hardware as it stands is to decrease the repairability, harm the second hand market, and increase profits.
So, has anyone seen any of the replication studies start coming in yet? From what I've read we seem to be waiting on those. (and I think they're likely coming today or tomorrow?)
Not saying I believe this, but for sake of argument…

If these are scientific/observation missions, humanity is going through its most transformative stages of advancement, and the last 100 years have been quite interesting.

If we could go and observe a developing civilization secretly and over a long period of time, I suspect we would.
Great question! We plan to make money by helping organizations continuously collect, analyze, and train on their development data. This will let them a) understand ROI of using LLMs for coding and b) use models that are constantly improving from internal usage in their codebase.

As for the issue of being cut out from the OpenAI API, we would survive such a situation because we work with any model, including open source.

Perhaps this holds true more to fields that stem from hedonic experiences themselves like the arts, sports, games etc. I felt this way about music after graduating from music school. I became bored and jaded to music and had to spend several years not consuming music at all. Eventually I regained my love of it.

Conversely I don’t think this applies as much to sciences. After I pivoted away from music to become a software engineer, I discovered a world that never ceases to captivate me and elicit curiosity no matter how much I grow. In fact the more expertise I’ve developed, the more intense my interest becomes.

People who are worried about range on EVs are not worried about a usecase that looks like this, obviously.

Home/work plug-in is amazing, and an underrated QOL improvement over ICE, but it’s just not relevant to most of the concern around EV range.

Range concern comes from either not having a charger available as a matter of daily business (street parking) or from frequently going on very long drives.

I think the saddest part is there probably isn't an auto manufacturer that isn't a participant in the lobbying campaign against bills like this. I can't even vote with my wallet in this situation.

At this point I'm hoping I'll be able to buy an electric kit car that can satisfy my minimal needs in the near future so I don't have to deal with modern vehicles and their shithead manufacturers.

Does knowing the name of something make you an expert? I am not sure, I think perhaps the definition of "expertise" at use in this paper is more precise and demands more. I am not familiar with this area of research, it appears to me that this paper draws on a well-understood meaning of "expertise", probably one that is established in one or several of the citations (or, perhaps, it is a contested definition even today).

That said - I think your intuition is a useful one - knowing something can enhance your enjoyment more than knowing nothing. I think this paper asks, can you know too much?
There hasn't been a new browser rendering engine from scratch in something like 20 years. It is just too complex and resource intensive to create from nothing.

Even Blink, the rendering engine of Chromium, is a fork of the WebCore component of WebKit, which was originally a fork of the KHTML and KJS libraries from KDE.

EDIT: TIL about Ladybird, not sure how accurate its rendering is.

You should look into the GirlsDoPorn case where the actresses were forced into signing their contracts under duress. When they wanted their content removed because of this, PornHub enacted the most useless content recognition software ever, which ignored almost all the re-uploads, allowing them to continue making money off of the content. And the company that produced the content sent people to harass the women day and night. This was just a few years ago. While I am sure not every video was produced this way, this also cannot be a one-off, and saying it's purely harmless is incorrect. Unless your analogy about water is that it only harms you in a large amount, or when it has extreme force behind it?
> Anyone in USA is free to travel in a personal conveyance for non-commercial purposes while respecting property rights of others.

Driving is not a privilege. Anyone with funds may purchase a vehicle and drive it on private property.

Making use of roads paved by the public (through tax dollars) is a privilege. If you've failed to support the creation and upkeep of that road (by failing to pay registration- and license-related taxes) and failed to meet the minimum requirements (license, registration, vehicle insurance or a waiver, sometimes vehicle inspections, etc....) of the body that built and upkeeps that road (a governing body: local, state, or federal), you don't have permission (and you certainly don't have a right) to drive on that road.

Even if that's not the way it "should be" (expressing no opinion here), it's the way the law enforcement and judicial branches will enforce the rules of the road on you. Sovereign citizen(-adjacent, perhaps) BS like this is only likely to escalate a traffic stop and aggravate a judge. If you don't like jail, I recommend against this line of action.
That's the passage. I think I've disentangled this. They didn't have all the DNA tools we have now. Some people refused to accept what ChatGPT says below, which is the only possible way it could have happened. They insisted there had to be a third plant involved.
