I've done extensive development with Flask, Bottle, Django, Falcon, Django Rest Framework, Starlette, Sanic and FastAPI over about 13 years or so.

These days I prefer to build my back end applications with nodejs, TypeScript and plain SQL (no ORM) talking to Postgres.

I like Django but it pissed me off no end that it's called "batteries included", except that the very first thing you need to do with any Django project is going and find some batteries for the user signup auth flow. That's not batteries included, and its not something you should need to figure out for yourself in a batteries included framework. It's time consuming, complex and error prone and should be built in.

Anyhow as I say, I've prefer nodejs though I still do use Python for lots of stuff.
No, the second line is when somebody else is paying the bill.

AWS is a boutique retail reseller for compute. It's okay for very tiny projects, or for vanity purposes.
It's within range of some of the sulfur techs I've seen in papers though. The sulfur techs appear safer and more abundant.

Both aren't commercialized either... For some reason, I suspect sulfur techs will go to market sooner.

What is apparent is that in 10 years battery tech will be in a much better place than it is now: 2x - 3x the density, safer, 1/2 or less the (inflation adjusted) cost. Sure that's not Moore's law rate, but that will be nonetheless revolutionary.

240 wh/kg has already been commercialized by Gotion in LMFP chemistry, so that's cobalt-free/nickel-free. 160 wh/kg sodium ion should utterly revolutionize city transportation, you don't even need lithium for that and it should be a 200-300 mile car (EPA not WLTP) or better.

IMO most car companies are probably chasing the high density LMFP and Sodium Ion for the next 5-7 years, and leaving nickel-cobalt for things that truly need it. The issue with nickel-cobalt is that the safety systems consume so much at the pack level that 200+ wh/kg LFP is basically the same density. And Gotion's 240 wh/kg will probably be functionally more dense at Cell-to-Pack densities as well as cheaper.

We still need that high density breakthough through, the US Market will probably demand 400 mile ranges (see Tesla range "fraud" story) for true mass market stupid driver adoption, especially for all those men that just have to drive a full size pickup and then buy things for it to tow.

This is the first time in years where I physically have goosebumps the more this seems to be verified. In a good way.

The potential changes this can introduce is equivalent to when Faraday, Volte, and all the other 17th/18th century scientists started figuring out how electricity works. They had no idea how much it would change every aspect of life in the century to come after them.
Cruise is currently operating self-driving "taxi" service between the hours of 9pm and 5:30 am throughout the city to members of the general public who've waited on the wait-list.

CVTs enter the chat, but it's mostly to ask when they'll be replaced so you can use them again.

(I don't remember details, but we decided to specifically avoid cars with CVTs because of reliability issues. Sure enough, the only person I know with a CVT is having belt slipping issues. Seems like certain manufacturers were switching back to dual clutch arrangements)
You also have to do it in AWS if you don't want to use the NAT Gateway service and still desire reliability over and above the MTBF for an EC2 instance or AZ, or ever want to do anything requiring a reboot.

Okay guys, I'm reading all over HN that there might be a sound candidate for room temperature superconductor.

I'm already imagining an infinite battery, ultra powerful motors, DC power gaining the electricity game, electricity generation & transport disruption with smaller wires & "infinite" range, WAY smaller MRI machines..

"LK-99 Updates around the Korean Verification Committee:

- Sample will not be released today/tomorrow

- Group waiting on peer review (implied to be APL materials) and could take 2-4 weeks

- Sample possibly with APL Materials, which is why it cannot be provided to verification committee

- Team is asking the Verification committee for a detailed plan on how the committee intends to perform the verification before proceeding

Now, Hyun-Tak Kim also issued the following quote in regards to the Korean Verification Committee: '돈을 빌려서 어렵게 사업하는 분들한테 와서 조직적으로 횡포를 부리는 것은 바람직하지 못하다"며 이같이 밝혔다'."

If we're doing anecdotal observations, I'll add one of my own.

At around 40, you start seeing visible signs of aging in most of your same age peers, but the skin elasticity and wrinkles are terrible on those who smoke.

I mean, I knew about it since I was young, but it is still shocking to see.
> Are you disputing that Covid itself was known to cause myocarditis at an even greater rate than any vaccine was said to?

I would dispute that in the context of young adolescents and children, as I do not think that is known at all. Global covid 19 myocarditis risk in the year after taking the vaccine is 0.02% and vaccine myocarditis risk for adolescents is 0.01%. If myocarditis risk is at all similar to other severe covid symptoms, then it is likely from these stats that there is higher myocarditis risk from the vaccine for young people than from the possibility of being infected with covid and getting myocarditis.

That said, not all myocarditis is created equal and my understanding is vaccine associated myocarditis is generally milder.

We're building a no-code data cleaning platform (https://nonan.io) and we recently switched from Pandas to Polars. Transformation pipelines are ~10x faster. Saving us roughly the same factor in compute costs. Polars is amazing.
EVs are quieter, smoother, higher torque, better accelerating, for simpler drivetrain, less maintenance.

I've seen so many TCO reports on Teslas being cheaper than new ICE cars, and that was before the Tesla price cuts and the insane inflation in new car costs in ICE.

As for the "new car cost", I suspect Tesla is already at cost-per-vehicle parity with an ICE, but Tesla is keeping a high margin on their cars. With sodium ion and high density LFP chemistries coming to mass production this year, ICE cost advantage's days are numbered. Supply constraints will keep ICE marginally cheaper for probably 5 years in some consumer car classes.

But "far less utility for a higher price and more inconvenience" is pretty much bunk. But I would keep an ICE if I was in the Midwest.

It's not in a vacuum. In general, deceiving people, and then telling them that you did it to protect other people is not going to increase their trust.

Massive error in going with the "we lied to the public about masks in order to retain supply for healthcare workers" angle.

Looks like the new error is to imply that distrust in the face of this is anti-Science.

What you're missing is the fact that in today's world, where almost every aspect of life is subject to top-down control, any "enabling" technology above all else enables oppressors to oppress more effectively.

If free-form gene editing were developed today, you would see the elites using it to make themselves immortal, while denying the same to everyone else. If fusion power suddenly became viable, you would see the richest people using it to make themselves even richer, while cementing their stranglehold on vital infrastructure. And it should be obvious to anyone who has been paying attention during the past 3 years that artificial intelligence is above all else an instrument of control, and even in its infancy, access to it is unevenly distributed along the same strata of power that already existed before.

At this point, the only "black swan, but good" event that could happen is a cataclysmic reset of civilization that might somehow see a better phoenix rise from the ashes. Barring that, we're full steam ahead to a techno-totalitarian nightmare future.

I agree that it's taking the idea of LoB to an extreme that wasn't intended (at least not explicitly) in the essay. But I still don't see why it's a bad idea considering that SQL-level abstractions (views, procedures, etc) are available. What value does adding a layer of application-level abstraction provide? So I have to name and call a function that calls the sql; to what end?

Is this what they want to support? To each their own, but I feel like relying on Wine to play linux games is like relying on an emulator to play your favorite legacy games. Or even mobile games for existing games. It's a nice option, but I'd always strive for native support where possible, because who knows what happens to emulators overtime (and yes, I know Wine Is Not an Emulator. Similar principles in relying on a middleman tool).

You maybe not, but a sizable part of your population is literally dumb enough to drink bleach to "cure cancer" or whatever [1], and around half the US can barely read at 6th grade level [2].

The root problem is not that science and journalism have their issues, there is no such thing as a "perfect system". The root problem is that the American population is, at large, too incompetent to keep up with the rapid changes in modern life, and that there are a lot of malicious actors exploiting this.

This is an good point. I think there is a difficult balance to strike between open communication and adding confusing noise to the scientific literature. Partly for historical reasons, there is an expectation that published science is correct to the best knowledge of the authors. Since writing, publishing, and reading papers takes a lot of time and effort, there are advantages to this precedent. I work in physics, and I can tell you that if we published all of our half-baked and often wrong ideas, we would waste a lot of people's time, at worst sending people down blind allies that we would soon rule our ourselves. I suppose tying reputation damage to publishing incorrect or misleading results is then part of the incentive structure that keeps publication quality high. At the extreme, there's was one recent LK-99 paper that had an obvious glitch in their data, and instead of taking a bit more time to debug it, they just posted the paper and speculated about what was going on. If that's how much you're rushing, how do I know I can trust your data?

But there are costs to this. There are big gaps between what people discuss with colleagues and what gets published, and the is no forum to publish partial or negative results, except maybe conferences. Ideally published papers stay at a very high bar, but there are other forums to publicly share work in progress. In a way Twitter is becoming this.

I was interested in learning more, based on your comment. Here's what I found out.

City of Hope thinks they've found a chemotherapy that's "able to kill all solid tumors","in more than 70 cancer cell lines".[0]

According to the National Cancer Institute[1], there are "more than 100 kinds of cancer". They're listed here: [2] Some of those cancers are soft tissue, so they aren't affected by this treatment.

I didn't know what a cancer "line" was, so I looked it up. "Cancer cell lines are valuable in vitro model systems that are widely used in cancer research and drug discovery."[3] So, they're not cancers in people, but cell cultures they can test drugs on.

This probably doesn't give you much more information than you already have, based on what you heard elsewhere, but I learned enough to figure maybe it would help someone else, too.

Whether this'll work in people, I guess we'll find out when they start the Phase 1 clinical trial. If you, or someone you know think you might benefit from this, there is a link to sign up for Phase 1 trials.[0]

It appears to have worked in pre-clinical trials, so they have tested this to make sure it doesn't kill people outright, the same way it does cancer cells.[4]

The key is being able to throw the bums out every 4-8 years. This gives Democracy a self-correcting feature that doesn't work with lifetime rulers.
if you mean evangelicals and progressive doomsayers both, I totally agree.
One of the reasons is that there's like half a dozen different hardware revisions of the original Genesis/Mega Drive, and Sega simplified the sound hardware quite a bit over the years, changing its tone and the relative volume of the different sound sources. You can record a genuine Mega Drive, show it to somebody who grew up owning a different model, and they'll complain about how inaccurate the emulation is.
It takes a minute to understand its operation, unlike any text editor.
I guess you'd do it the same way: look at logs, write an optimized query manually :)

Given all the PC platforms that have come and gone I always find this to be an odd take. EGS makes the grave sin of uhh...

Also there’s a massive philosophical quandary in there too.

If people could live for much longer then they’re likely disincentivised to procreate due to worries of overpopulation and then, in one way of thinking, you’re hypothetically depriving a line of offspring of lifetimes they’d otherwise have if you’d had what we consider a normal lifespan now.

The only real practical version of this would be an additional range extension battery that is towed. Or synthfuel+generator, or even hydrogen (and man, this is like the ONLY time I ever can see practical use of hydrogen). Which is also an effective strategy for semis / RVs / towing with EVs.

The way to get best range+efficiency out of an EV these days is cell-to-pack where the pack is basically integrated into the frame. I think it's on the order of 20% better range for 10-20% lower production cost. There's no way a standardized swap pack could match the engineering numbers of that, which makes it an economic no-go.

And by the time the swap standard was implemented, demonstrated, and platforms changed to it, it would be 10 years. Batteries with this tech, sulfur, alu-air, etc will triple the density for half the current cost by then. An EV will go 800 miles on a pack that is 2/3 or 1/2 the size/weight, and remember there's a pseudo-rocket equation on these big battery packs.

That doesn't make sense. Django-allauth is the standard for non-rest Auth flow, django-rest-auth and djoser for rest API Auth flow. Each implementation is tailored for a slightly different case.

There's a reason why only admin views are kind of built in and if you want you can expose admin to the end user and it supports the entire Auth flow out of the box.

It wouldn't necessarily have to be a monopoly. There's such a thing as compulsory licensing and statutory licensing. That is, government(s) could decide that the patent is valid, but anybody can use it (without needing the patent holder's permission), as long as they pay the patent holder. And the government could decide to set the price.
