So unfortunate it behaves like an inefficient gas car 24/7 when it's below freezing out.

It was one of only 2 vehicles in it's class (EV with a range extender), which was what I wanted, but being Canadian I wouldn't get the benefits half the year.

The other was the BMW i3 REx, I nearly bought one until I found out AC problems can somehow cost 5 figures to repair, effectively totalling the car.

I just gave up and bought a full EV.
A note about MRI machines: they use liquid helium, not liquid nitrogen. LN2 isn't cold enough. Being able to eliminate liquid helium would be huge, as helium is scarse and quite expensive. Its roughly 10x the cost of LN2 and only going to get more expensive.
Good questions.

To be fair, the fact that [some traders own nice houses] doesn't imply [technical analysis is a good method]. It's possible that the profit from this sort of trading is essentially random, and there are a few people that get a large profit from that random distribution. I've frequently heard this sort of argument, but I don't have the expertise to determine whether it's true.
To be fair, Pres Carter brought up the issue in the 70s, but then Reagan came along and the US public went into complete denial, which is still in play today.
It the GP is a joke, that's the joke.

But I have to say, I'm not sure if it's a joke at all.
Interesting how you say "geek", because this is definitely the geek approach (this information is "out there" to be learned) vs the nerd approach (building mastery over the subject).

Emotions are about other people, and about social positioning. Traditional self-help gets away with murder when it talks about "exploring your emotions" as a personal thing. "Exploring your emotions" really means acting on other people, which you illustrated well.
Lots of people have stronger stomachs for drawdowns than I do then!
Is there a trusted process on ios / macos to determine if you were attacked by these recent 0days? I hadn't upgraded to cover the last batch of 0days for a bit, and then safari crashed a few times in a row and one morning my open browser was on an full-page ad that seemed a bit suspicious as to how it ended up there.. I'm assuming web searching and installing some third party tool will lead to more trouble than a fix..
For a while I had a Home Assistant automation that would spin up Prime95 on a machine in my homelab when the closet it was in (in an unheated garage) got too cold. The closet also has the water meter, so it has to be kept above freezing. There's also a resistive heater, but I figured I'd rather get a bit of productive use out of those watts.

Then I realized that the computers heated the closet plenty without artificially pegging CPUs, so I didn't bother reimplementing it when I did a migration.
Well now I need to know what you can use a VGA for these days
Okay, but then (per the article) you're just as much of a Platonist if you say that Mike Tyson is stronger than your grandmother.
That's the best part! They don't have to fire you with a reason, at-will employment means they can just fire you and you're going to have to prove in court it could only have been because you were talking about your salary. Good luck!

You just show up to the office, your fob doesn't work, and security walks out to inform you that you don't work here anymore and to expect an email from HR.

The global temperature baseline has only increased 1.16~ degrees Celsius since 1880...

Of course it's going to increase as we continue to come out of the last ice age.

It's being blown way out of proportion though to fear-monger.

And don't get me started on Europe and their fake Paris Climate Agreement. They just wanted money from the US. If they were serious they wouldn't have shut down their nuclear reactors and got hooked on Russian gas / Iranian oil. Only the US has reduced emissions while increasing energy output.
"Extraordinarily" may mean here "reproduced in 100 laboratories consistently", beyond any doubt.

The ability to disable this is entirely irrelevant. If Chrome ships WEI the various Chromium forks will also let you disable it, even if Chrome doesn't. Or you can use Firefox.

The problem is when your bank, tax office or favorite streaming service starts requiring this to let you use their services. The problem is the ability for large fraction of casual users to have this at all.

It also creates demand even for low-skilled work, since there are more low-margin / seasonal businesses that are feasible under the easy-come-easy-go system.

Something that immediately comes to mind for me in Sweden, is that the country is fairly long in latitude, and most of our electricity production is from hydroelectric power in the northern half of the country, while most of the population is in the southern half of the country. Better energy transmission could help a lot.
They can be used to store energy, though they're pretty terrible at it for all but specialized applications.
> As a Pole, I don't think I've heard the term "hypermarket" in like 10 years.

Carrefour Poland and Auchan Poland commonly use the term in to describe their own huge shops, like the one in Warsaw’s Arkadia shopping mall. Just do a Google search for the phrase “w naszym hipermarkecie”.
I'm definitely interested, an upgraded Bolt is a perfect second car for my family, a small daily driver. I had been curious about the upcoming Volvo EX30, but the stories from Polestar owners have me cautious.
> First, it's not on top of what's planned; it's instead of.

No, it's on top of. What you're proposing is to convert an existing freight rail line that is nowhere close to HSR standards (unelectrified, low speed, and single track) to HSR standards, and combining that with some sort of freight relief line (which is a new line that is unelectrified, low speed, and single track). There is no meaningful cost reduction in that process from retaining the existing freight rail line and adding a new line built to HSR standards.

You say that you are not a railway engineer. Do you have any explanation for why you think there's a cost reduction basis to buy a company, build a line to HSR standards and build a line to freight standards over not buying a company, building a line to HSR standards, and doing nothing to the existing freight line?
this sounds good on paper but how effective - really - are background checks outside the developed world? Even inside the developed world, language becomes a big stumbling block.
Cleaning Up ChatGPT Takes a Heavy Toll on Human Workers

Latex is a waste of human potential.

I've done professional typesetting and cataloging with QuarkXPress and InDesign both and it was extremely fast, that's for professional high quality publishing. .doc and .md is fine for information first publishing.

Latex is not simple and is in my opinion just a big nerd snipe, its the intrusive thought of layout software, for humanities sake we'd be better off with simpler tools like markdown + math notation and if latex had been never invented.
It probably wouldn't greatly affect the heat generation in a PC, unless the transistors could themselves be replaced with some superconducting alternative. Harnessing the efficiency from that would probably require that the computer be designed as a reversible computer. It would be its own research avenue.
The actual picture of (poor) levitation in the paper you linked is pretty compelling. This isn’t a complex, noisy measurement showing something that’s related to superconductivity — this is a magnet and a supposed superconductor repelling each other.

As far as I know, that’s possible with permanent magnets (and it would be weird, but not impossible, if the group instead synthesized a novel ferromagnet and didn’t notice), electrets (seems pretty unlikely here), very extreme amounts of static charge (again, seems unlikely), and actual superconductivity (would be awesome).

Random bits of cooked oxides, ceramics, and such don’t float on a magnet.
Sorry, what does this have to do with (a)theism? The growing interest in astrology among the young correlates with their growing atheism.

This is the single biggest flaw in how HN discussions are formed. I almost always downvote the top comment. Often they completely derail any sort of meaningful discussion. I have fantasized around a "forum garden" where we could experiment with other ways of facilitating discussions.
Reads like it was aided by AI (LLM) in the writing.

No description of how the analysis was done. So I have to imagine that jobs are extremely simply counted, not deduped. So a job listed in-office or in-city, but also listed as remote, would be 2 jobs and this would result in 50% remote jobs available. Whereas this is actually 100% remote. So I imagine the 69% is an undercount, if going by my assumption of simplistic counting.
Can you link to an example of one of these companies. We're getting ready to start hiring again and I'm kind of worried about this.
First you'll have to define what you mean by "technofeudalism"
For me the captcha was just a checkbox. I assumed that they do need it. There is lots of bot activity on https://ourworldoftext.com
Aliens are real. Aliens that spawn as a blurry instance on a US military base are not.
I'm sure they believe their own results, but if they made a mistake, parading on TV would be a horrible mistake and a horrible embarrassment.

Also this is a preprint so clearly it's not vetted by others yet.
Rate-limiting of itself isn't the issue. No one really wants to deal with unbounded flow and infinite load. It's a matter of what, exactly the limits are set to, and whether those are reasonable, understandable, and well-understood before the changes are implemented.

The limits on posting to Twitter — 500 direct messages per day, 2,400 tweets, seem reasonable enough to most people.

However, I have feedback from people with extensive DM group systems that find the 500 DM limit really chafing. They generally operate private accounts and use the DM system to maintain multiple private groups for various reasons of online confidentiality.

Further, it was the rate limit on reading posts, 6,000 per day (avg. 250/hour), which meant many accounts monitoring breaking real-time world events found the platform to all-too-easily locked up.

For example, if you are doing Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), you often have to scour through a bunch of chafe (crap posts, disinformation, look-at-me distractions, etc.) to get the few kernels of grain (new, unique information) you are looking for. The rate of posts for a suddenly stochastically popular keyword or hashtag means that you can fill that pipe really quickly — sometimes less than an hour.

Twitter API changes have been perceived as utterly draconian, especially for researchers into, say, disinformation analysis.

The thing is that Elon is making these changes without any sort of grace period, or any sort of actual plan. Zero accommodations. Capricious, mercurial changes like this are being seen as user hostile.
> your rights are not restricted, when I refuse to do business with you

This is the part that I don't think it's so safe to assume. A case can and should be made that my rights are restricted and/or I have experienced genuine harm/damage as a result. You would have to look at the GPL violation and the contract violation separately, each in a vacuum from one another, to argue otherwise.

Courts may want to look at the whole picture. This looks very much like a "strings attached" situation on the license of the software. Courts generally do respect the authors' intent when issues of copyright/license infringement are not clear-cut, and the GPL is extremely wordy about what the intent was -- freedom to share and deal in the software, out in the open.

Red Hat's own corporate materials on open source acknowledge as much, so that's ammunition for any court battle. They can't claim ignorance of the spirit of open source (or the spirit of the licenses in question). They have been including verbiage about the benefits of openness and public access/development of open source software when selling the very product in question.

This seems to be anything but a slam dunk case if really tested in the courts. I think there's a genuinely good chance that somebody with the pockets to challenge this wins and sets a significant precedence for open source.
I think this is where the question of “what is TA really” comes in. I think most people would grant there are underlying patterns but there are just so many factors and they are dynamic. Whether the patterns are discernible or not is another matter but in theory if they exist they are be chartable in some form.
Since when have the standards been finalized before the early implementation? Much of the web has been browsers trying things out and seeing if they can convince others to join them (or, in olden times, following MS's lead as with AJAX).
I tried an experiment when GPT4 allowed for browsing. I sent it my website and asked it to read my blog posts, then to write a new blog post in my writing style. It did an ok job. Not spectacular but it did pick up on a few things (I use a lot of -'s when I write).

The point being that it's already possible to change ChatGPT's tone significantly. Think of how many people have done "Write a poem but as if <blah famous person> wrote it". The idea that ChatGPT could be reliably detected is kind of silly. It's an interesting problem but not one I'd feel comfortable publishing a tool to solve.
> they don't care about anything other than keeping those paychecks coming for a while

Don't forget this is all employment really is. Any employee-employer relationship boils down to this regardless of what you have deluded yourself into believing.
They should have kept around the Volt. People loved those cars.
I started a remote job last September but it hasn’t been as good as Covid work at my previous company. The difference is the company structure. The new company is organized regionally with silos and duplicates roles by city/region. This means there’s less natural remote-like communication outside of a given office.

Further, my new boss is an extrovert and has found that she can’t stand working from home and prefers the office. I was hired fully remote, but there’s more and more in-office meetings held, where I might be the only person on a giant 96” conference room screen. This really makes remote feel like being an outsider and I feel less involved with the team. My role was supposed to be managing and strategy but it’s more of a taskmaster at this point. I can have one-on-one discussions with leaders, but the decisions are not made in a video call, they’re being made in an office face-to-face.

I think if I were a remote contractor this would be fine and I wouldn’t care so much about the dynamic. However, trying to be a genuine employee in a non-remote first and locally focused company is proving difficult.
CVE-2023-20593
Pretty much checks out with my own experience of successful entrepreneurs and profiles of people society/history has celebrated as "Great Men". I'm at the point where I'm convinced the world of business selects for psychopathic traits, and the kinds of personalities in the upper echelons are...wild.

This is likely not the same for other fields of endeavour; say, sports or student academics.
If you say a whale is stronger than submarine or vice versa, it will be misleading unless you unpack the sub-claims, whereas you can say a blue whale is stronger than a killer whale or that submarine X is stronger than the Titan without unpacking it. Saying ChatGPT is more intelligent than Claude makes some sense, but there's no real point in comparing the intelligence of a person vs. an LLM any more than you would ask whether a humming bird flies better or worse than a Cessna.
Companies with these terms in job postings are usually a red flag, but don’t be too judgmental:

>We are family!

No boundaries, underpaid, nepotism, etc.

>Fast paced working environment!

Mostly toxic environment.

>Attention to details!

“Big boss” will scream at you for silly things.

>Will require working overtime if needed!

Self explanatory.

>Fun loving, company culture activities, etc.

Your typical kindergarten office activities, you can’t refuse either.

I will also add this but not always the case

>open office style

Yeah, nope!
Tech analysis esp on penny stocks is actually a type of self-fulfilling prophecy where almost every gambler there uses the similar analysis and see who can front run or get out the fastest when such pattern is forming. Other than that it’s news that make it pop.
Depending on the expense of making the new material, it may become actually feasible to build solar panels across Sahara and feed both Africa and Europe with the electricity generated, because transmission will become lossless and physically compact.
Levitation is to be expected for any superconductor when it's in a superconducting state; that part is banal. The big question is whether it's actually a superconductor at RTP. Their results are strong enough that it's unlikely to be a mistake, though fraud is possible too (although it is so easily uncovered given the simplicity of preparing the material and the strength of the reported effects that fraud seems almost pointless since it'll be uncovered immediately).
Computation inherently generates heat, but if you could make chips that release negligible amounts of heat, you would unlock the third dimension which would help with reducing signal length and enable computers to be significantly faster.
The method to produce this material as described in the related paper [1] is fairly simple and could be done at home with a $200 home metal melting furnace from amazon and the precursors (which also seem to be fairly standard easy to obtain metals).

If this is real, I'd expect some smart people from hackaday / youtube to reproduce this within weeks if not days.

If this is real, it'll change society quickly and permanently for the better. There's obvious wins in energy transportation and even generation, but actually having a room temperature superconductor is likely to result in an explosion of engineering use cases. It will be like the discovery of lithium ion which slowly transformed the use of energy throughout society, but faster.

Hopefully it repros.

I think I am exactly the target user for this, it looks great; looking forward to using it. In my case, I only generally work for one client at a time, those clients always pay immediately, and the invoice is generally a formality / record. Being able to generate one, and save/send the resulting file is really all that I need. Nice work.
Query Building UIs and Tech?
I'm tasked with building something of a query builder for outputting some sheet/grid data as reports (in the web browser). I have a few concerns:

1. General UX -- how do we make a query builder easy to use? Products seem to have various approaches -- sheets seems very limited, Airtable has a straightforward "where" builder and group-by menu, Monday.com has the same but leads with a "quick filters" option for non-power users I suppose. I presume there's likely whole classes of database querying UI products that I should be aware of but am not, any suggestions?

2. Sheet/table tech -- I'm not sure about building something from the ground up, probably a massive rabbit hole. Are there existing solutions people recommend?

Just to respond to your first point, I don't think anyone here is "equating questioning the scientific hypothesis with creationism dogwhistling".

People are calling out Ezion for dogwhistling because of his writing style. Comments written in a glib manner, with superficial counterarguments presented as gotchas, that is suggestive of dogwhistling.
Anecdotal. The houses of people you know are not informative.
It’s basically just determined by how closely you are watching the market.
I think they also make mention of the other paper in the one being discussed, pages 12,13:

"The Additional experimental results and discussions on LK-99 will be published immediately in the next paper, including an interesting controllable levitation phenomenon and the coexistence of magnetism and superconductivity, theoretical calculation, etc."

The recipe in the paper is so simple that it's giving me Pons-Fleischmann vibes. It reads more like an entry from an alchemist's journal, reproducible with chemicals and equipment you could buy on eBay or Amazon.

You have to close all windows (and possibly tabs in your editor), restart long running jobs you have in the background, restart your SSH sessions, lose your undo tree, lose all the variables you have loaded in your interpreter or bash, among others that I have possibly forgotten.

All recoverable, but annoying. I can't imagine doing that every day. It's fine for a home computer, but for a workstation, I just want it always on. Though these days even my personal laptop is essentially always on.
Presumably, the reason they want you to show up in person to one of their "orbs", is to stop people from submitting generated biometrics to extract the free money.

But, if I already have someone's biometrics for some other purpose, I presume I can use that to pretend to be them? It just seems like an inconvenient password you can't change.

I've done this to lots of old cars too, but I'd never claim it to be as good as an interior built for carplay - typically the sight lines to the display are compromised if doing something like a double-DIN carplay head unit from Sony et al etc. I've generally had no issues finding adapters that allow legacy steering wheel controls to control the aftermarket head unit/carplay too.

However, the display often ends up too low on the dash in older vehicles with a retrofit, modern cars typically place it higher on the dash almost level with the instrument cluster to make it easier to check for navigation etc, most modern cars can even sync carplay directions to a secondary display in the instrument cluster. The siri mic solution can be compromised too, depending on the vehicle and how you fit the mic. It's livable of course, but often not optimal.
