I don't want an office. I don't even want to go outside.

More pay would absolutely bring me into the office though- especially if it means I can afford the wear and tear on my car plus the 20 hours of my life drained being stuck in traffic each month.

But at the same time, I'd much rather be given the freedom to prioritize life over working... So I'd consider coming in every business day if I could make full-time rates at part-time hours. Just cut my salary and working hours in half and let me do my thing!
For a generator, yes.

Is it currently possible to do this with a battery setup, for which its normal state is to feed power to the grid with anti-islanding?

Either you'd need two power connections to the panel - one for the every day anti-islanded backfeed, and then a second with the physical lockout to a different inverter output that operates without the grid.

Or the lockout on the main breaker would need to control a logic-level switch that told the inverter to disable anti-islanding, for power flowing through a separate non-locked-out breaker. This would seem like a better solution, but the inverter/battery manufacturer would have to design for it and get NRTL approval.

This is a good point and the level of so-called task specific "inductive bias" in models is an active point of discussion, but I don't think it is fair to add all of our evolution to the model inductive bias because most of evolution was not towards giving better understanding of language to the model, it was towards better understanding of language in humans.
Found hours ago, and coincidentally while on these pages words were spend on the nature of AI.

At Tourrettes-sur-Loup (Alpes-Maritimes), five high-resolution cameras have been installed to identify incipent wildfires through visual pattern recognition.

Each camera inspects an 82° cone in the scenery, with sufficient resolution to examine at a distance of up to 15km. (The three cameras dedicated to long distance monitoring cover an area of 700km².) Images are shot every 5 seconds, and are checked in automation to detect smoke. Upon positives it sends alerts to firefighters and the major.
Anecdotal, but I can remember receiving a survey like this at school when I was around the same age. They didn’t tell us what it was for. I had no idea who would be reading it. On a lot of the questions, I lied, and said I was doing things that I’d actually never done before, because I didn’t want to look like a square in front of my peers.

> The Navy considered the incident a one-in-a-million fluke and was certain it would never happen again. Attridge was less convinced, however. “At the speeds we’re flying today,” he later said, “it could be duplicated any time.”

I think the idea here is that the planes and pilots are perfectly capable of hitting themselves at any time. Or in other words, this type of accident doesn't require the presence of any random one-in-a-million conditions. So, the low event frequency that is actually observed should be attributed to the fact that they intentionally avoid doing the dangerous action.

TFA is about a Rivian with high-end Pirelli tires, this is not a mfr cheaping out situation.

It's clearly an alignment issue, which is not surprising at all when it's related to a deliberate ride height change.

Vehicles with independent suspension tend to have "bump steer", which varies toe with suspension travel. When the vehicle is designed to operate for sustained periods at substantially different ride heights, its suspension geometry has to adapt to these modes or it'll exhibit crap like this.

If you don’t require ECC RAM a common setup these days is a Proxmox cluster set up on refurbished USFF PCs like the Lenovo m720. They sip power at idle.

My personal approach is separate archived storage from working storage and keep archive storage offline until I need it. Keeping hard drives spinning is costly.
> My pet peeve is when people start saying life-extension is around the corner.

But life extension is already here! We used to be quite old by 65, now you have people completing iron mans in their 80's.

One of the biggest looming economic threats is that everyone is old and there aren't enough young'uns. That sure sounds like we're dying a lot later than we used to.

Data says we've gone from 5-20% of the population over 65yo in the 1950's to 15-75% in 2023. 36% of americans are older than 65, that's a lot.

From a comment in the article:

Open source software, by and large, is not maintained by volunteers, and I think the view of it is harmful to understanding how open source works.

The vast, vast, vast majority of open source software was created by engineers at for-profit companies where, through their line of work, they faced a problem, and after solving it had the insight "hey, other companies may have this problem". On the flip side, the vast majority of maintainers are engineers at for-profit companies who face new problems related to the software every day, and share their solutions back so we can all benefit from everyone else's work.

Its not the old fable of the greybeard in his basement tirelessly maintaining some internet-critical piece of software (though, those definitely exist). Its: "Hey, your business uses Kubernetes and derives millions in revenue either directly or indirectly from it? Mind helping keep it going?"

This is critical to understand because: Vault and Terraform could absolutely have been sustained and grown by the community of its users. There is zero doubt in my mind of this. List the top 50 websites by traffic volume, and every single one of those companies uses both of these products, extensively; many of the companies have engineers devoting effort toward projects like Linux, Kubernetes, Javascript, or Postgres. Vault and Terraform aren't even close to a situation of "but who maintains it"; Hashicorp just refused to let anyone have power in the project that wasn't on their payroll. Far more open source projects die due to this than a lack of interest in maintenance.

The root problem isn't profit motive; its venture capital. To some degree, it is also: projects created to solve the problems of their users before their creators actually have the same problem.
> You obviously haven't looked hard enough. CLion fulfills a decent amount of what you're looking for. https://www.jetbrains.com/clion/

CLion has the problem of being a proprietary program that requires online validation, which is a big hard no for me.

Also IMO the fact that you point out KDevelop being able to show a per-line commit and the current value of a variable, both being among the minimum you can expect from an IDE tell me you didn't read what i wrote that i wanted, so by extension i doubt CLion also does anything close to what i wrote.

I don't "just" expect "some" debugger integration or "some" VCS integration, i explicitly wrote things like the debugger being able to call a function in the running program or modify a function while the program is called or being able to replace the current function with an older version of the function taken out of VCS. Among a ton of other things.

What you show KDevelop to do aren't anything special, even non-IDE "programmers' text editors" can do them.
It was more of Federal prosecutor's, Carmen Ortiz, "zero tolerance, tough on crime" desperation for stats any cost.

Harvey Silverglate wrote a book on the phenomenon, "Three Felonies A Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent". Federal DAs have the biggest hammers, and so they see nails everywhere. This is also partly why the "nothing to hide" people are foolish, because information can be selectively weaponized by authorities to construct technical crimes. There are nearly infinite and poorly-worded regulations on certain professions with civil and criminal penalties that are all but impossible to commit without intention. That's not the point; the point is that very few prosecutors are uniformly setting out to arrest and convict only the worst of the worst causing legitimate, specific harm.

Ask HN: Recent uptick in spam and advertizing on HN?
I've been seeing alot more spam, self-promotion, and advertisements (notoriously about recovering lost crypto, hacking, etc.) on HN recently. There was one story I saw about looking for wedding dresses, and the OP of that story made a thread advertizing (and self-promoting?) a store for wedding dresses.

I've looked into a profile of a spammer I see frequently, and they made some good submissions/comments, mostly obscurred by the spam they made.

Anyone else noticing this?

Out of curiosity I recently did an experiment to investigate Add-Ons in Firefox for Android.

Some facts:

One does not need Firefox Nightly to run more extensions than the "supported" ones.

Creating a "custom" collection of Add-Ons on addons.mozilla.org can be done using a disposable email address.

There is no visible Settings option to add a custom collection in Fennec from F-Droid. To make it visible, one has to go the About page under Settings and tap the Firefox logo three or more times.

One needs to enter an "ID" in Fennec to add a "custom" collection. The addons.mozilla.org site does not tell the user her ID, it's in the URL that points to her collection.

After a custom collection is added, one loses the default collection of Add-Ons "supported" by Mozilla. No way to easily switch between collections. Need to remove the current collection.

After installing a custom collection, whenever the user access the Add-Ons menu in Fennec, Firefox tries to connect to addons.mozilla.org. Mozilla's definition of user privacy excludes telemetry and data collection by Mozilla.

As another commenter mentioned, many of the Add-Ons that are not "supported" by Mozilla work just fine. They work just as well as uBblock origin, NoScript and the other "supporteed" ones.
So because of your limited imagination or usage (or ignorance) of Git, this is "stupid" and "useless". Mmmmk.

Yes, virtually any decentralized technology can be used in a way that looks like centralization. But as a doctor might suggest, stop doing, to yourself, the thing that hurts.

The fact is, it's entirely possible to use git-appraise without a "centralized git server" just like it is possible to use... decentralized git precisely in such a manner.

Moreover, I can pretty much guarantee that whatever you think "really decentralized" would look like, could be used in basically the exact same ways as git-appraise.

What does it even mean for something to be decentralized if you're talking about using it on a single machine, with a single user? I just can't man, I can't.
That's not what I wrote at all.
Or you can get off Firefox and stop feeling like a kicked dog all the time. It doesn't have to be a chromium fork either, there's iceraven.
Not really. But check your profile settings, you might have "showdead" on.
If you omit the training data points where the baseball hits the ground, what will a machine learning model predict?

You can train a classical ML model on the known orbits of the planets in the past, but it can presumably never predict orbits given unseen n-body gravity events like another dense mass moving through the solar system because of classical insufficiency to model quantum problems, for example.

Church-Turing-Deutsch doesn't say there could not exist a Classical / Quantum correspondence; but a classical model on a classical computer cannot be sufficient for quantum-hard problems. (e.g. Quantum Discord says that there are entanglement and non-entanglement nonlocal relations in the data.)

Regardless of whether they sufficiently generalize,

These ideas have a lot of following - that things are planned, intentional, designed to be that way. We might hear "why is that job worth so much money and that one isn't?" or here "why Harvard, at all?". And this is worth countering. Society as a whole rarely plans "one more Harvard" - and when it tries, it rarely succeeds. Many people did work hard to make Harvard (or anything that exists now) into what it is now - while from society's point of view, it just happened. At some stage these are the fruit of a market economy: some people put in their effort and now Harvard is what it is. In that case ironically, "putting the top professors together in one school" is pretty universal. High prestige institutions are attractive - for their colleagues, pay, facilities, projects, etc. The good news for the US is that there are many such "top institutions".
I would have done the same. The teacher being WrongTM does not mean I should have to redo all the coursework to get the already earned grade for It. In the described situation I know I would have been able to recruit support from multiple people to get the teacher to behave correctly. Fortunately, no teacher in my life would have been able to defend refusing to give credit for work done within the written academic standards.

Although, I did once transfer into a school whose headmaster refused to accept transcripts from another school. He claimed I couldn't have begun grammar school when I did, because my birthday was after his school's deadline (despite him acknowledging the other school's later deadline!), which to him meant that I 'must' have started a year later and therefore 'must' either go back one form or if we didn't like that, have my entire transcript rejected and repeat all forms. (Madness!)

Nginx (org) allows companies like Kong (org) to exist?

I honestly think that’s a better relationship, kong basically advertises nginx (seems that nginx also talks about kong openly)… and yet both have enterprise services. They may not be in direct competition but they do have overlap. That’s what good competition looks like.

Edit: I do not know if kong pays nginx.

Except they don’t end up feeling the effects. What happens is they start offering rent control or voucher programs to help lower income families. This gets presented as “equitable”, when all it really does is push wages down for a specific class of people.

Perhaps you are a better cook than I am. I look at physical signs like color changes, bubbling, texture changes etc, to move on to the next step. I can't always anticipate these changes ahead of time, and if I make a mistake in the anticipation, then getting back to the right temperature can easily add a few minutes to the cooking and potentially cause harm to the taste.

Of course, there are hacks like physically removing the pot that work, but it is added complexity on top of gas stoves.

The above obviously does not mean the gas stoves are objectively better - it only establishes that on one critical dimension gas is better than electric.
