While there are some differences in the materials used for EVs vs ICEVs, it’s not radically different. Both use a lot of the same elements.

Yes it does take more energy to build an EV but most EVs will offset that by the first 12K miles. After that an EV has a much lower environmental impact. It’s all about efficiency.
Ask HN: What's a good resource to get comfortable with SIMD?
I would like to be proficient at identifying places for and applying SIMD in my C/C++ programs. The domain is primarily centered around graphics, but I am open to resources from other domains too.

Ideally what I would like is some sort of progression for problems that may benefit from application of SIMD. From reading case studies online, it seems like there's lots of little tricks and stuff, almost like there's a different way of thinking about types, values and operations on them that you have to know.
What makes you think Google won't show up in court? They do kinda neglect their free end users, but go to great lengths to appease enterprise clients (see: Google Cloud Platform)
Your sarcasm aside but I'm still waiting for some evidence of wrongdoing besides the we don't like it and stamping our feet. It's clear half the people don't like these rulings but what people can't seem to accept is the other half do like these rulings. Show me the inconsistency in how the justices rule is all I'm asking for.

But again since you can't make an argument to point out the inconsistencies in their prior beliefs to their current rulings you make sarcastic statements.

You are exhibiting the problem with modern politics everyone wants to act like they're educated but they make garbage statements like you did and like this article does without any underlying evidence. It's enough to make the accusation because if you make the right accusation evidence is irrelevant.

That is a completely contrary thing to the entire underpinning of our justice system.
> How would you feel if someone took ALL the books, repeatedly, and then sold them?

Books are rivalrous and excludable goods. If you take all the books, then others can't enjoy them. Open source software is non-rivalrous and (mostly) non-excludable. This is the thing that makes free software possible. And it's also the thing that makes it unlike the book example.

> decided to use one of my core open source libraries (which they haven't contributed to in any way) for a critical component of their commercial product, which also overlaps with my product's functionality in some ways.

This is really terrible, and I'm sorry to hear that it happened to you. But as far as I'm aware this has always been the whole point of "permissive" licenses. Licenses like MIT and (Berkeley) BSD subsidize the private sector with work done by the universities. The core idea, at least compared to GPL licenses, is to allow businesses to profit off of donated work. So while I sympathize with you, it seems like you deliberately chose a license that allowed and encouraged exactly the behavior you saw.

> And before someone says "why not AGPL?", it is because many companies don't touch AGPL software with a ten-foot pole.

This is presumably because businesses don't want to use software that creates in them obligations to give back. But you do want them to give back, or at least you don't want them to take too much. So I feel like there's a fundamental tension here. You're trying to make your project appealing to businesses by telling them they can take it for free and give nothing back. But you're also saying that behavior is "antisocial" and "completely destroys the offering/concept for everyone."
For niche embedded devices, you often end-up with a half-baked C compiler and assembler, nothing else.
Yes, there’s no constraint, feel free to use language as you wish. That doesn’t make your argument any better as to what words actually mean, given examples, from a dictionary, when you claim to know how to use one and that I don’t.

Inane, specious, and mendacious are other entries in the dictionary that come to mind. I also have no trouble comprehending the argument before me, it’s simply misdescribed. Can you not comprehend that? Apparently not.

Old aircraft had the gun on a rail above the prop. To reload the gun or clear a jam, the pilot had to pull the gun down a rail, reload it, and push it back up. This was difficult to do during a dogfight.
This change will cause data team into the bad pattern of trying to cram as much into a model as possible rather then splitting them up into sub models that can be used for multiple use cases.

From the docs https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/cloud/billing#what-counts-as-a-... `Models are counted when built and run` so running a 200 model dbt project 3 times a day would just about hit the 20k limit a month.

Given a year ago dbt cloud was $50 per seat without usage based pricing, building your own ci/cd system with github actions is the way to go with dbt these days.

This sort of "suffering is a virtue" thinking is, unfortunately, VERY deeply rooted in American (and more broadly, Anglo-Protestant) culture. It's good old fashioned Calvinism wrapped in capitalism.

I landed first on some random PG essay, then I found out about HN and kept reading it for a while and then found out what YC was. This was some years ago, but still quite out of order!
I am an exception, yes. But I think the reason I'm an exception - the fact that I've experienced, very directly, very personally, and very nearly fatally - the insane hell that is American poverty - is important.

People aren't opposed to helping people who need it. They just don't understand that people need it.
Probably means Aurora MySQL. In CloudFormation and other AWS artifacts, "Aurora" is a keyword that regularly comes up meaning MySQL, since that was the original target for Aurora years before the Postgres flavor was released. There are AWS old-timers at my shop that call it Aurora, and it shows up in their YAML.

It was absolutely revolutionary in its time, it’s difficult to think of any current day parallels because the industry has matured so much.

For instance, Quake was the first FPS where the maps were truly 3D and could have one piece of floor on top of another. It would be considered insane for a game to not have that now. Quake(World) was the first truly massive online gaming FPS. Quake II was the first game I ever owned that used a 3D graphics card, I still remember the first time loading it up after I installed my card to set this wondrous coloured lighting that followed a rocket when I fired it.

Anyway, point is you’re right, you are too young to understand. I don’t mean that in a patronising way, it’s just that it’s not impressive today in any way. The enthusiasm you see here is nostalgia. It’s a museum piece.
Ask HN: Why woudn't GitHub support PKCE for OAuth?
The GitHub API currently supports the Device Flow for apps intended to be deployed on platforms that don't have their own input method, but explicitly doesn't support the PKCE extension to OAuth 2. In a number of easily found community discussion threads, it seems the team has opted instead to update the documentation to note that it isn't supported, rather than elaborating on any plans to do so in the future or explanation for it's absence.

Somewhat ironically (based on my limited understanding of that codebase and OAuth itself), the GitHub Desktop repo ships a developer client_secret in their codebase.

Without PKCE, the Device Flow seems to be the only way to authorize a public application to act on a user's behalf directly with the resource server, with no intermediary proxy server used only to hide the client_secret. This adds complexity and cost to what is already a multi-step exchange.

Are there any reasons they'd be hesitant to do so, other than lack of priority?
It's interesting that you mention PoE nature cams- I designed a PoE home surveillance system for a friend that involved setting up a solar panel on a 30' pole that fed a box with a shitty camera system in it at ground level. From there he set the cams around his property- particularly where the foxes and coyotes would travel to get to his hens. The whole project was apparently about $800 aside from the solar panel (I just gave him the idea- I didn't help him build it).

He eventually got rid of the cameras because, well... They were shitty and only told him the critters were near AFTER he popped 'em. I think he's got a for-purpose system (in his own words "the new cameras didn't fall off a truck") now but it was a fun project!
Even in one dimension, the average and median don't have to be the same. In a list of numbers 1,2,3,4,100, the median is 3 but the average is 22. Same thing is done here, with same formulas to obtain them, just a two dimensional version (and some modifications to account for the meridians meeting at the poles, see the document linked by GP).
Talk about a perverse incentive. Imagine if a pilot attained ace by shooting themselves down enough times

I've done this a few times, and the killer has always been the RAM. By the time you're buying decommissioned enterprise hardware, it's hard (or just expensive) to source RAM from its QVL list - even harder so when you want ECC, which not all of the QVL'd SKUs will be... And, in my painful experience, if it's not QVL RAM there's a good chance it just won't post.

I'm using their ecosystem indirectly, not locked into it, with an option to leave whenever I want, with a superior computation model (in the case of Pulumi), that's the point.

If Hashicorp changes all the licenses of the providers they maintained, then that's fine -- I have no right to demand free work from them.

I would be worrying a lot more if all my automation was built on Terraform, Consul, and Nomad, though -- and I'm glad I didn't do that.
Good article. I believe YC provides a fantastic platform for startups, but I've noticed a stronger focus on complex regulations and financial aspects rather than genuine technological advancement. I applied twice, yet others with more effective strategies and personal investments, independent from the tech and knowledge, seemed to be in a better position when it came to applying to YC.

Over a decade ago, I emerged from an underprivileged local community and stumbled upon YC's content randomly, without finding the original links or names associated. Googled randomly.

I struggle to comprehend why we can't bring together the brightest minds, irrespective of their backgrounds, race, location, or financial status. As evidence, @amasad (YC10) wrote that he couldn't launch with YC in today's environment.

In the case of my most recent startup, which I developed in San Francisco, we opted not to pursue YC due to their substantial equity requirements. The time has come for YC to instigate changes, giving priority to technology over politics, and reigniting the technological renaissance of startups.
1.5 years?

Their stock was down 60% only 3 short months after IPO.

I think this is just a struggle to turn what was once technical excellence into something that gives money. I haven't followed HashiCorp lately but was once a fan of some of their products. These days it seems things are slower over there. At least that's what it feels at a distance.
It is correct we have seen this but we have never seen this actually occur in the supreme Court. We have seen the gifts be given we have seen them be befriended by certain people. The strange thing is with Court judges they are actually working all the time. Arguments getting made to them when they are technically off the clock. So while the possibility of gifts influencing an outcome is there we need to see evidence that it actually occurred. Should be easy when you have 20 30 years of rulings behind you and suddenly you reverse course on an issue you were always opposed to.

The real place where we see gifts influence outcomes is in Congress. We see that consistently. We see members of Congress argue staunchly for one point and then a few weeks later the vote comes and they will vote completely opposite and you will look at their financing and all of a sudden they got a bump from somewhere. You will see fiercely libertarian people like Rand Paul all of a sudden be anti libertarian. Congress acts wildly inconsistent from one bill to the next. The people can hold them accountable every two or six years. No one does because the people don't care it seems.

All of a sudden though Congress wants to neuter a third branch of government because it gets in the way of their agenda. Where is the money coming from to influence this because there is no evidence supreme Court justices have been influenced and are ruling inconsistent from their. But there is mountains of evidence that Congress is heavily influenced by money.
Yes it's helped me handle rejections (starting from 2017 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kNN6O_C8-9apBDRkl4BsfzcQfah... ).

Following YC taught us to make what people love. Not being accepted meant that it took us a little longer as we had to build our own network. In a way I'm actually proud we managed to come so far self funded, Investor check is nice but user love holds far more value for us now.
It was one of the very first FPS games where you had true mouselook. All the predecessors either didn't (wolf3d/doom/rott), or faked it (ultima underworld). Notable exception is Descent (which is probably the actual first 3d FPS game), but IMO controlling a spaceship in 3d was a barrier to entry that Quake didn't have.
O'Reilly was one of my favorite reasons to get ACM. The cost is higher than before, but probably still worth it.
They need $91M of S&M to get $102M of revenue though, so the $11M net doesn't cover $54M R&D.
I've also been curious about this in the context of making a dumbwaiter, but not enough to do the research. I would think having passive automatically closing fire rated doors would take care of it, but I don't know.
I don’t think so? Household Cost = Total Cost / Households, Household Duration = Capacity / (Household Usage * Households), Houshold*2 would half both.

And in a hot climate, the heat pump water heater provides a little cooling (when you dump the hot water outside).
People often mixup performance of some component of the system, with total system performance, and system cost performance. Even this breakdown is probably oversimplifying.

I would suspect you're right on simpler being better here. That doesn't mean this isn't worth exploring. But one practical tradeoff calculation to make to see how viable this is right now is take the component cost of the cooling system and put that into more "simple" solar panels and see what trade of power generated is.

If that benefit isn't a win of the cooling system, then a lifetime reliability of the cooling system being less than a lifetime reliability of the solar electric components can only make that tradeoff even worse.

But making that calculation might still give someone a target for cost, performance specs to become a viable market option.
I went to quakecon 2004, it was an amazing experience. I keep wanting to go back but never do, maybe next year I'll go as a 20-year follow up. I have no excuse because I live very close to the hotel!
With DOOM (and a little bit with Wolfenstein), ID developed a game that encourages an almost reckless play style.

You can get into a rocket fight with your opposition, sustain a fair number of hits, heal in the next room, and repeat. Their goal was to make you feel like an amazing demon-killing machine.

Quake was one of the first PVP FPS games to bring that feel to the game. Death had minimal consequence, your goal was to find and kill the opposition, lethality was set low enough that you could shoot a rocket at your feet to "jump" higher.

At least, that's what made Quake (and ID games of that era) stand out to me.

Could you identify what patent that is? I hope I will get a genuine response from someone who genuinely knows that industry because the last time I asked I just got a patents.google.com/search?q=eink response. It is fun to blame patents. But that's like saying we're not making progress in operating systems because Microsoft owns a key patent in operating systems.

Fair enough; I didn't realize that ":memory:" SQLite accesses did zero syscalls overall, I had assumed that they required shared memory writes that entailed syscalls for barriers and the like.

They shipped this version on all of the major platforms, and I'm reasonably sure that Nintendo and Sony both use Clang/LLVM for their SDK toolchains nowadays. Maybe Linux was on their mind but getting it to build for modern consoles will have been the main motivation.
Users, or service administrators?

From a service point of view, MFA can be deceptively easy to implement. Over the past year or two, it's become all the rage due to aggressive and effective credential-stuffing campaigns.

Unfortunately, it's also difficult to get this right. You can end up with users permanently locked out, you can introduce SSPR abuse, you can increase demand for SIM swapping and email account takeovers.

It's better than what came before, and it's part of everyone's Defense in Depth strategy, but it's not a silver bullet.

I think you may be missing the extensive lines of research covering those topics. Memorization vs Generalization has been a debate before LW even existed in the public eye, and inputs that networks have unusual sensitivity to have been well studied as well (re:chaotic vs linear regimes in neural networks). Especially the memorization vs generalization bit -- that has been around for...decades. It's considered a fundamental part of the field, and has had a ton of research dedicated to it.

I don't know much either way about RLHF in terms of its direct lineage, but I highly doubt that is actually what happened, since DeepMind is actually responsible for the bulk of the historical research supporting those methods.

It's possible ala the broken clock hypothesis + LessWrong is obviously not the "primate at a typewriter" situation, so there's a chance of some people scoring meaningful contributions, but the signal to noise ratio is awful. I want to get something out of some of the posts I've tried to read there, but there are so many bad takes written with more bombastic language that it's really quite hard indeed.

Right now, it's an active detractor to the field because it pulls attention away from things that are much more deserving of energy and time. I honestly wish the vibe was back to people even just making variations of Char-RNN repos based on Karpathy's blog posts. That was a much more innocent time.
Opposite anecdote, I know a few SAs at AWS who contribute to Terraform.
