> For a single home 10/sec is probably fine. But remember you are using other peoples infrastructure. Be nice. You probably want a local resolver anyway in a case where 10/s is an issue.

In one case, I am already using a local caching resolver, which is configured to forward to Cloudflare DNS (as I have no better alternative, except Google DNS perhaps).

It's a single machine which has a public IPv4 address, not used by any other machine.

If the machine has been idle for some hours, it hits the Cloudflare DNS rate limit just by doing 5 or 6 normal queries, plus about 3 reverse IP address queries at the same time (I'd have to check for the exact numbers).

It is configured to do DNSSEC verification, which I think contributes to the issue. Perhaps the fact that these requests are bursty, therefore probably not cached, is also part of the issue.

> Even for home use a local caching resolver is not a bad idea.

All of my machines have local caching resolvers, but this does not solve the issue for many different scenarios, especially those where there are multiple machines behind the same public IP address.

> I usually set up a local one then have my local DHCP just hand out that address so all the clients get the right thing instead of going to some external source.

Sure, but as I mentioned in another thread, it's not always possible to set up a local resolver on a network, especially when you are just a client of a network that is not yours (e.g. public/hotel Wi-Fi) and whose DNS server is unreliable or untrustworthy for many different reasons.
That's not true. The fog lights and premium audio both require hardware retrofits.
They're talking about compressive yield strength -- not tensile strength -- so "4x stronger than steel" isn't saying very much, as steel isn't a material with a very high compressive strength.

In general, ceramics and glasses (both traditional silica glasses and new metallic glasses) all have very high compressive strengths, but very poor tensile strengths. Martensitic steel can combine decent compressive strength with outstanding tensile strength -- and, to simplify things a bit, it's tensile strength which basically corresponds to "damage tolerance" and "resistance to brittle failure."

They're also looking at an extremely small sample size that might not scale. Frankly, I'm unaware of any nano-lattice material in use towards any application.

So it's cool as a scientific curiosity and a work of engineering ingenuity, but it has no near-term practical applications, and its not stronger in compression than existing ceramic materials.
Let me tell you what's wrong with this:

Nothing.
I think the whole problem is that, based on conventions for communicating this stuff, you can't always rule that out.

The Mini Electric is down there. Weighs more than gas, and one of the reasons it isn't long range, would push up the weight too much.

The current generation of battery tech is just a little heavier than would be competitive to ICE on weight. Gasoline holds a lot more energy than a battery can, but the engine is heavier. If/when battery density is able to double (and this solid state tech is 2x-3x current battery, so it would be a game-changer), you would have very similar car weights. This seems to be one of the reasons the big trucks are first, adding a thousand pounds to a 6000 lb. truck isn't as bad as adding that to a car half the weight. I expect we will eventually see vehicles that weight less than the ICE counterpart that get a reasonable range, but hard to say when battery tech advances that much.
key word here is "modern"
“Land ownership” is a contractual and statutory invention of the human race, and only a recent invention amongst certain parts of our species. No other animal “owns” land or tries to enforce their ownership via the courts or with statutes if that fails. Animals are just ‘on’ the land, and either they’re thriving, being predated, or not. Same as dolphins don’t own the sea they swim around in.
With birth everyone should receive a piece of land the size of global land area divided by global population and upon death you return it. And this is of course extremely simplified, we probably still want some public land, and the population changes, and not all land is created equal, ... but you get the idea.

You should check these assumptions, Mozilla has been hard at work enshittifying their entire portfolio. Instead of giving the public features they actually want (the most secure, performant, and predictable web browser), the current CEO has directed the focus towards revenue-generating features.

Few assumptions and oversimplifications, let's address them one by one:

> Lack of sustainability is contingent on increased encroachment of land and emissions, and that is contingent on growing demand overtaking gains in technological efficiency.

Sustainability is not solely dependent on one aspect but is the result of a combination of factors, including land use, resource management, environmental impacts, and ethical considerations. Even with improved technological efficiency, the sheer scale of demand for animal products still pose significant sustainability challenges.

> The demand is growing as a matter of policy: immigration to prop up the GDP.

The demand for animal products is influenced by various factors, including cultural preferences, dietary habits, advertising, and economic factors. While GDP growth and immigration can play a role in shaping demand, they are not the only drivers, and sustainability issues related to animal agriculture go beyond immigration policies.

> Growing demand for just about anything will increase emissions, pollution, and land encroachment - some just exacerbate things faster than others. That does not mean all other products are 'sustainable'

Some industries might indeed have more significant environmental impacts, and in the case of animal agriculture, the evidence points to its significant contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and water pollution and biodiversity loss.

You can't solve all of these with algae:

- Greenhouse gas emissions (methane, CO2, N2O)

- Deforestation (50% of pastures used to be forests)

- Land degradation

- Water pollution

- Water overconsumption

- Loss of biodiversity

- Antibiotic resistance

- Ocean dead zones

- Inefficient land and resource use

- Ethical concerns

- Contribution to zoonotic diseases

- Air pollution

- Eutrophication

- Soil erosion

- High energy consumption

- Chemical runoff from pesticides and fertilizers

- Destruction of habitats and ecosystems

- Inequality in global food distribution

- Public health risks from foodborne illnesses

- Nutrient pollution

- Strain on waste management systems

- Overfishing (40-70% of plankton gone, sharks 90% gone, fish almost gone in 2040's)
In Germany, dash cams specifically are a bit of a gray area, but for example CCTV of any public areas is generally illegal.

First to clarify I do not mean shaming others. I mean a personal sense of shame.

Shame in third-world societies (like the one I have lived in for the last 15 years) serves many important functions.

In my case, it is a matriarchal culture. The worst thing that can happen to a person is that your mother would feel ashamed. So people go out of their way to not do shameful things like stealing, lying, being disorderly intoxicated, and other socially hostile activities. I find that it is effective at keeping social order, and one of the worst insults is to imply that someone was ill - raised.
Yeah, exactly this. Companies want live services because they want to charge recurring fees. Customers want to buy and own software.
From the point of view of the auto industry I would say popular is the right word.
This is because batteries are, of course, magical devices produced by chemE’s and only begrudgingly handed over to the EE’s, along with instructions like “do not puncture the pouch, or the magic spirits will get free and erupt into a vile flame which burns water.”

I am quite certain they are just doing alchemy and have tricked us all (it is of course well known that chemE’s are actually the cleverest type of engineer).
I think Mathematica has had a slight variant since 1988 (i've been using it since then, but never M-expressions, but they look awfully similar).
This is a crazy discussion. Are you saying because the road is too unsafe for bikes, scooters, etc (yes, sometimes because of cars) that these vehicles should be on the sidewalk? It seems you're saying that.
It's a good thing that if fails in development and not just in prod. The rate-limiting itself isn't the best scenario but it is to be expected with a free product.
The cloud may be a prison, but its infra services, specifically EC2+Autoscaling Group, S3, SQS, and DDB, make the cloud a Four-Seasons-like prison. So, what specifically can we do to make local-first at least equality productive for a med-sized company like Uber for at least the following simple (doesn't mean they are easy, though) requirements:

- Anyone in the company can launch and configure an autoscaled VM cluster. It's surprisingly hard to create a system like EC2, as Uber failed to do so even though they tried, and a number of multi-billion-dollar internet company tried and also failed.

- Anyone can store any amount of data and scan them with practically unlimited bandwidth for analytics. In fact, object storages on cloud have been so good that I failed to see a thriving open-source community that actively work on an alternative.

- A database that just works and can handle a wide range of workload, including seemingly anti-patterns like using database as a large-scale distributed queue. Yes, I'm talking about DDB.

- A simple queue that supports competitive consumer pattern and practically scales infinitely. Per Tim Bray, a queue that "is almost perfect" as SQS.
Yeah I assumed you were talking about your own home.

I use MrChromebox firmware on a Pixelbook (Eve) and many things work fine, like Wi-Fi, suspend, brightness, and keyboard backlight. Annoyingly, audio doesn't work. I can't remember whether camera/microphone work.
Seems morally dubious. When you purchase software, it doesn't mean you automatically own the bytes and can do whatever you want with them. There are things call licenses that dictate what you are allowed to do, and you agree to the license when you decide to use the software. If you agree not to use the software for commercial purposes when you purchase it, you can't morally decide "my bytes my choice" and just to use it for commercial purposes anyway. Just because money has changed hands doesn't mean you now have free reign to do whatever you want with the bytes. If someone sells you linux for $1000, that doesn't mean you are allowed to make it closed source for further development because the GPL license you agreed to prevents you from doing so.
Legibility and usability. Like many old sites this one uses small fonts, small elements, and has tiny targets. Especially when working on a large display. I make liberal use of Firefox's zoom feature to compensate, but better defaults don't hurt.

And yes it works on a phone as you can easily zoom in, but inclusion of responsive design, e.g. moving the sidebar to a footer, and use larger fonts would significantly improve legibility and usability. This is not incompatible with a simple and fast-loading site.
I agree that stagnation was illusory and to me it feels like not only the midst of the third Industrial Revolution, but also the start of the third technological revolution. The first ending in 2000 and the second ending in 2021-2022.

A sentence near the end of the article summarizes why cancer is such a nasty disease to deal with:

I know both Zooku and Nick and agree with you. I wouldn't expect either to create a pseudonym to publish something like bitcoin, especially after things they've made public before. Maybe it's a corporate pseudonym.

I should write a paper asserting it was Tim May. Tim has sadly passed, but maybe it would motivate the kids to dig up some of his more insightful usenet posts. And it's somewhat plausible.

But... Zooku and Nick were both at that meeting in 2001? 2000? and Zooku was definitely the most visibly excited about a post-chaum eCash world.
Overall Brave search has been good for me. I have been using it as the default on every PC / Browser I utilize.

I will say there are times when it just falls flat. Like I will search for a brand or specific thing , expecting to get to the home / login page for that brand, and it just flat out gives me weird results.

But when I put the !g in front of the query, the first result is always what I wanted.

On the other than, when doing more general searches, Brave is on par or better than google.

Seems like a pretty weak claim to be honest. I think it is pretty obvious that maximum range refers to maxium range under ideal conditions and that using more eletronics in the car reduces the range.

Porsche isn't lying about their max speed either, just because you can't reach it with 300kg of load and bad weather.
It's important to control the flow of money. As long as it flows into your companies, you can charge whatever amount you want, and drive the system to your benefit. Hollywood-accounting at it's best.
At 200k employees and being profitable, you can definitely can start investigating moving to on-prem. And most likely a lot sooner than that.

BUT it depends on what field you're in. If you're managing CCPA/GDPR/HIPAA data it's a huge bureaucracy mess to get everything certified. Cloud operators usually have their documented and certified already, you just need to figure out your own part.
> If companies in Country A move some jobs to Country B [...] is the world really worse off?

If the only change is salaries then no. My only objection to offshoring is when the conditions the workers are expected to endure are clearly far below what we'd consider minimally reasonable in developed countries - my basic rule is that "would people still hypothetically buy your product if they had walk through your factory first and observe those conditions first hand?".
And no I don't think it's really enough to say "well at least it's better than subsistence farming" - in that case the conditions aren't (by and large) being imposed on them by others. It's a good thing corporations from developed economies are able to offer new employment opportunities in poorer countries, but for the sake of our own humanity, we still need to treat employees with the same basic decency as we would if they were in our own country.
Actually my writing was bad, I didn’t even mean being ashamed of taking drugs, I meant being ashamed of doing socially harmful things that are often drug-abuse-adjacent in the USA.

Being ashamed of being an addict could lead to avoidance of treatment, so that might be a better example of a negative outcome of shame.
This one actually seems fair - literally the only reason I ever considered Tesla was the range. The only reason I didn’t buy any other EV was because I was waiting for them to catch up to the Tesla range. Turns out that advantage was a lie - I hope their competitors also sue them.
The article attributes the declining Google results to ai, but that is not the case - it's been awful for many many years before "ai" (parroting search results is not ai)
Show HN: Labpilot – comment driven development with Jupyter lab
Hello,

I've been working on this project of mine these last couple of months, and with the release of Jupyter AI, I just had to go ahead and release my own project into the wild.

I call the paradigm, "comment driven development". You use special comments, "#@" in the notebook cells, to steer the LLM to write the code you need. Got a bug in your code? - The debug feature takes the stacktrace and fixes the code for you. It also has a explain feature if some of the code is hard to understand.

I'm also working on a more experimental "autogpt" feature that can be accessed from the Labpilot terminal, which is built into Jupyter lab.

It's been really fun to build and play with. I hope somebody will find it useful. I appreciate any feedback I can get. Thank you.
A good solid step. Having produced an animal analogue of Alzheimer's and now come to a vaccine against it showing basic safety and effectiveness in mice is the step towards human trials. Early yet its still years away, but hopefully another awful disease is in the process of being reduced.

They didn't really give enough info in the article but this appears to be an extremely unethical use of AI, if in fact they are actually using LLMs. Maybe I'm misunderstanding and it's just an "interview" chatbot to gather data with a script. Trusting technology (llms) that has some inherent unreliability with something like this is ridiculous to me, especially considering the "ethical AI" angle. It suggests how superficial peoples notion of AI ethics is.

Hypothetical Porsche didn't setup customer service teams to lie to customers on a mass-scale when the complaints came in though.

We have evidence of Tesla service-cancellation teams. We have evidence of Tesla's software purposefully being inaccurate when above 50% charge, and then slowly becoming more accurate when reaching 50% or less charge.

This is literally and precisely, a conspiracy perpetrated by Tesla and its executives to trick users into thinking Tesla cars have more range than they truly do.

What? I get that optimism feels nice, but... resources on Earth are limited, and we are starting to feel it (actually for conventional oil, the peak was in 2008, and Europe's economy has been feeling it since then). Extracting metals gets more and more expensive and harder.

Renewables are extremely far from looking like they could remotely replace fossil fuels, and given that building nuclear plants takes decades, it's starting to be short on that end too.

More fossil energy is definitely not good: it's killing us (literally), and it will get worse.

It's really not clear at all, today, that we will be able to replace fossil fuels entirely with renewable energy (meaning that we are likely to face a forced degrowth). And anyway, the more energy we have, the more we behave like humans, and that's killing the Earth's biodiversity (no need to go to Mars: we are changing Earth into something that may look like Mars eventually).

The best thing that could happen in 2023 would be to realize that less is more.

In my experience: Ask U.K. residents about the baffling little blue and white signs, even now when they've been around for years, and still quite a few will not know that we've actually been not-very-secretly marking our motorways in metric since the 1970s.

The original plan for the M69 in the 1970s, by the way, was for it to be extended south into Warwickshire as a fully-fledged motorway. Warwickshire County Council was on board, according to the trade magazines of the time. Then the government changed.
