> > EVs were dead in the water for decades until Tesla. Space travel has stalled since the Cold War. Satellite internet... DirecTV was a joke that used dialup or DSL upstream.

All these sectors are driven by politics and or military because there is no ROI via the legit avenues: consumers trying to improve their lives

The big push for EVs started under Obama and after many years and many billions of handouts people are still on the fence and you literally need to threat a mandate to stop ICE cars production in order for them to take EVs into consideration.

Musk is nothing without D.C. and as much as all the other guys on the Forbes 400 are still unsufferable assholes, you can’t claim the same for them.

Zuck and Bezos for example built their companies not on D.C. but AT&T. It’s a big difference and consumers benefit from this
It's easier to do that when your field is relatively obscure, and when you're wrong.
People are mad. I should have clarified:

Podman sucks in non-Enterprise environments. Either use docker or some minimal kubernetes distro. Everything else is a waste of time.
Exactly! They should just lower taxes on poor people and increase taxes on rich people. No need to create administration overhead and costs (sucking more value from poor people).

This seems so obvious, but I am curious why someone thinks this is a good idea? My only guess is the people driving this change don't have the power to do it 'right' so this is the closest they can do?
The standard industry definition. It's just that not everything is E2EE, you have to turn it on: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360048660871-End-t...
Yes you're probably right about the voter, I've probably mixed it up with the automatic parameter conversion for routing.

I've done too much Phoenix lately I forgot the rest ;)

About the guide I don't know, maybe a blog post yeah, but there is libs that do all that, maybe there's even too many of them. They are fine but lack the cohesiveness you get with something integrated in a framework.
I wonder what it would take to just start forming new towns? You don't hear much about that anymore.
Any notable offenders? Seems like something worth reporting.
The US has spent (inflation adjusted) $34 billion on fusion as of the end of 2021. Assuming no real change it would be $35 billion as of the end of 2023.

http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2021/ph241/margraf1/

Fusion has been "a decade away" since before the turn of the millennium.

To say we should just throw $10-20 billion at a power plant and hope something comes out is not a good idea.

We should wait until one of the many multi billion dollar research plants is able to get even 10% of a reasonable to target energy output before even thinking about that.

Otherwise we would likely just sign the death of fusion in the public eye. Could you imagine the backlash if a $40 billion dollar project couldn't even produce power after two decades? (Going off how public works costs and timelines have been going is the reason for higher values)
Reduce hallucinations from LLM agents using feedback-based long-term memory
I think using critiques/feedback as a way to improve the output of LLMs and agents could be a great way to reduce hallucinations and get better results in general. Here are some thoughts that I had during a past hackathon on this concept. Let me know what you think!
Misleading. Programs appear to be trial and voluntary. Title states "require".
If someone ends with "Do the math" instead of providing the math in the very post you know they are full of shit.
That's a good point, I hadn't considered that!

A good lesson for me, and maybe others, to not confidently offer opinions on areas where we're not even close to being subject matter experts.
Yep, just as hard as I remember it being - fun though
Sigh. Sarcasm is always lost on the internet. I was replying to the actually insane comment who said the Tractatus was well below Milton on his reading list (presumably to express how little any of them are worth his time…?)

I’ve read all three for the record.
They can have E2E and have a secret participant in meetings recording anything. So while technically E2E they can have access to whatever meetings they want.
> Python now had to micromanage every single string to ensure I don't have any "naughty" bytes in it.

Oh that is annoying, our use case just fitted better into how Python 3 works. We went the opposite way. We micromanaged strings all over the place to ensure that encodings would always be correct. We needed unicode but also connected to Windows systems, which uses their own weird codepage system. Encoding and decoding was everywhere along with encoding detection. Python 3 made all that go away.
None taken - I wanted to ensure I reply since Decabytes put in the effort to reply in detail. In replying "to reply and acknowledge the response", I was largely redundant. I also agree that I am likely erring on the side of wanting too much from articles.
> real estate speculation

I suspect many wanted an arm's length almost passive investment, and so they are putting the maintenance burden on to their guests.

Expecting cleanup for a three month summer rental tenant is one thing.

Expecting that for a three day guest is another.
AI industry needs a governance framework now
As a foreigner, if I could, I'd downvote it if only because it's local news being blown up all over HN, presumably because it's a slow news week. I just don't care. This isn't speaking to some trend in America. It's a hamlet's local drama. Do we really need 2 posts a day?

Btw, from what I got by glancing past the comments in the original post, whoever runs this newspaper is a total rat. What started all this is the newspaper snitching on a self-employed woman who lost her driver's license 15 years ago, and telling the police she's still using it for her job. This doesn't excuse the raid, but god I hate petty small town people.
What is objectionable is that you are just making shit up. Calling it "common sense" does not help.

It is a fact that actually-ancient manuscripts are vanishingly scarce; almost everything you cite on bookshelves today is from copies of copies of copies. And, extended text has already been extracted from charred scrolls from that very site, albeit destructively. So, what you insist is impossible has already been done. The goal is to do it better. You could have found out all this yourself with a tiny amount of reading, and not wasted everybody's time.
The harsh reality is that adult life is an endless series of "lesser of two evils" choices.

Given the alternatives to Biden, which specific policies do you believe would improve the lives of the lowest economic classes?
>The browser will interpret it for you and use whatever number of pixels it determines is best).

Until you zoom

Mobile browsers might zoom the content as if it's an image, scaling the entire viewport, but desktop browsers very much do not. Plus, working in rem instead of px is super easy, barely an inconvenience. And now it works on both mobile and desktop. Amazing.
Sure, but that's a vacuous observation. X being determined by Y is only useful when X and Y are somehow distinct. Simply having two different labels for the same object is not very interesting.
This goes way, way beyond partisan politics.

“Late stage capitalism” is a term that more and more people are going to become familiar with in the coming years as profit-driven corporations continue to plunder basic necessities like housing and healthcare and put them behind paywalls that fewer and fewer can afford.

The US government has done a good job historically of keeping food prices low enough to prevent mass starvation since that’s a major leading indicator of civil unrest, but the rent is too damn high and it’s only gonna get uglier.
Targeting C for replacement wouldn’t even have been a great goal, C++ is the de facto performance queen in the industry, follow its suit.
From the article

> In the power companies’ joint submission to the California Public Utilities Commission, they suggest these fixed fees for each customer’s income range.

> Households with incomes earning less than $28,000 a year would pay a $15 monthly fee in the Edison and PG&E service territories and a $24 monthly fee in SDG&E service territory.

> Households earning $28,000 to $69,000 a year would pay $20 to Edison, $30 to PG&E or $34 to SDG&E each month.
Households earning $69,000 to $180,000 would pay $51 to Edison or PG&E, or $73 to SDG&E.

> Households earning more than $180,000 would pay $85 to Edison, $92 to PG&E or $128 to SDG&E.

Additional quotes that for some reason seem funny to me from the article.

> But the utility companies say the measure would reduce electricity bills for the lowest income customers. Those residents would save about $300 per year, utilities estimate.

> California households earning more than $180,000 a year would end up paying an average of $500 more a year on their electricity bills, according to the proposal from utility companies.

It seems like this is just a fee the utilities companies want to charge that is based on income. Am I misunderstanding that? Is this intended to incentivize something or help anyone? It just seems to give more money to the utility companies.
You make it sound like the opposition to expansion don't know that there is housing demand in their areas - that the solution is "simple" and they are just dummies. But this feels kind of dishonest. There is a conflict between people who want to live in an area and people who don't want that area to become overcrowded (and then there's the myriad of second-order problems that stem from those two outcomes). That's the problem statement in a nutshell, and it's unfortunately complex both logistically and emotionally (and therefore politically, too), which is a disastrous combination. One of the hallmarks of that combination is that each side at even the highest levels of discourse tend to exhibit very little respect for the other (no sympathy, no benefit of the doubt, etc).

One of the few things both sides should be able to agree on is that it's awful when wealthy outsiders start buying property.
Most of the "large by default" sizing and spacing is mostly so that you can handle finger based navigation on a phone/touch device. It's not necessarily for readability. Can't speak for you, but I have my android phone set to max font size and scaling under accessibility. Mainly in that I don't have great vision, and am far sighted, so don't generally wear glasses when not in front of my computer. And even then usually have to zoom in a bit.

My issues are retinal, not a matter of focus, so glasses don't really do that much for me. And I have to say I hate, hate, hate apps that don't respect the OS configuration for text sizing. Facebook used to be one of the worst offenders, the only app I've used recently that's particularly bad has got to be the AliExpress app.

I'm actually not a fan of generalization in the article, as the "pixels" in a browser are not supposed to be device pixels, but a given fraction of an inch, similar to pt size. Typical text should be 6 lines per inch by default... this is and has been a relative standard for print forever. The issue is device scaling isn't always correct in the OS or browser... You may have a 4k display, but if the OS doesn't know if it's 24" or 42" it won't scale correctly, and generally doesn't.

Similarly, I wish more OSes had a way to override the scaling for a given application, especially older apps with a fixed size, if you could 2x-3x them for modern displays, even if it's "blocky" it would be nice. I have setup an app shortcut layer on Linux for this once, but it would be far better if it was in the UI instead of setting up scripts, and custom shortcuts.

Sorry for veering OT, just concerns me more and more as I get older and my vision is less than perfect.
Better yet, replace most of the car traffic with walking and bikes and trams.

I'm continually bewildered at the additive approach to cars versus a much better subtractive approach. Though I guess cars are more easy to measure for GDP. What's the GDP contribution of a sidewalk? Hard to relate that directly to new businesses and such.
I wish browser would do something similar with their WebRTC stack. Something that shows independently of the site (out of its execution context) which keys are used and allow for an easy comparison of them independently. But i don't know of such functionality being there yet.
I see your point, but forbidding slashes, the weird Windows reserved names, maintaining case insensitivity (also Windows), and forbidding colons doesn't seem like the craziest restrictions on file names. It can definitely get out of hand, though, if you start excluding too much stuff. IIRC, Azure doesn't even allow slashes in storage account names which greatly limits naming schemes and goes too far in my opinion.
True. But the community around docker makes it better for local use. If you really need something more, a minimal kubernetes distro is a much better option for little additional work (if any).
Company I used to work at had a handful of Sun Ray's which all connected to either an 880 or 6800 in our datacenters if I remember correctly. I always thought they were really cool. I'd love to have something like this for my current setup as I have a large PC with tons of cords and crap all over the place at my desk. Something nice and small but connecting to hardware in the closet where all that mess is hidden would be nice.

Is 24mpg really correct? I'm in Europe driving a small hatchback and I'd typically get around 45-50mpg (UK, I know American mpg is lower, but it wouldn't be halving the figure!).

Depending on how I drive, that can be up to about 60mpg, which is where the car definitely tops out.

24mpg to me seems like madness!
Note this is a brand new fee that just so happens to be based off income. It has absolutely nothing to do with making energy cheaper for poor people. Gotta love California! Brought to you by the same people who charge for license plate stickers based on the value of the car.
If Discord.io was using OAuth then this would largely be a non-issue as those tokens could be invalidated or revoked, by Discord, trivially. And they wouldn't have any password data, hashed or otherwise.

Granted, I don't use discord.io , so maybe I'm missing something.
What else would `font-size`, which is a CSS property, be talking about?
Scala seems to fit all of your requirements.
Shambles or no, the American economy is doing better than every other major economy in the world.
Probably most, considering it's Discord's logo and screenshots of their app used in the article, and discord.io isn't loading with 522 errors right now so you can't exactly check.
Electric cars do emit particulate matter from their tires, a greater amount than ICE vehicles do because they’re heavier. The PM is also a microplasic (rubber). But obviously near zero COx/NOx/SOx.

Imagine if climate change was a myth, and the only thing we got from all this effort was air that was safe to breathe. Wouldn’t that still be worth it?
Tips to get noticed by target audience
6 tips to get noticed by target audience!

1⃣ BE CONSISTENT
You lost track of the many, many social media influencers that have come and gone since you started. Many of them had incredible content and were serving a deep need, but they gave up too soon.

2⃣ CREATE A STRONG VISUAL IDENTITY
You want people to recognize your work when they see it. In many niches, there are a lot of lookalikes.
Be aware of what others in your niche are doing and do something different.

3⃣ DO WHAT OTHERS DON'T/WON'T
Trends come and go!
Consider what everyone else in your niche is doing. Is everyone blogging? Start a podcast or a weekly vlog.
Think of one small way you can delight your current audience and be known for that.

4⃣ NICHE DOWN
Niche down as far as you can. You don't have to stay in this niche forever, but it helps create momentum in your business in the beginning.

5⃣ KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE
The easiest way to cut through the clutter is to be the one that understands your customer the best. You are always pushing content out while also pulling in new information.

6⃣ SERVE WELL
Too many people treat social media as a one-way funnel.
If you want to stand out, treat it like a two-way street.
Social media is a way to share your message, but it also pays to listen and help.
>Some state Republican lawmakers are warning the changes could produce unintended results, such as weakening incentives to conserve electricity or raising costs for customers using solar energy.

Finally on the right side of history these guys. In this instance, they're right. It makes the economic incentives to conserve electricity and invest in rooftop solar completely backward. You're undermining conservation efforts and clean energy all in one swoop, just so more profits can be reaped by the power companies
Presumably this is about intellectual property claims.

If you get into legal issues around patents, being able to prove when you made notes on something could be important.

Signing and dating each page helps demonstrate that you've been taking notes at specific times.

Crossing out the areas of the page that you don't use helps in case you get accused of deliberately leaving blank space in your notebook so you can backfill it later on a page that you already signed and dated.

Of course, this is predicated on the idea that you use pen and paper for notes! All of my notes have been digital for over a decade at this point.
I just wish getting "good" VDI at a small scale to leverage a small fleet (say, 3-4) of thin clients was easy.

VMware Horizon requires /massive/ amounts of resources on its own (something like 14-20 GB of RAM for the required services VMs alone), Citrix is a nightmare all its own, and I'm not sure how what else would work well out there.
In general I think you should push your redistributive interventions into the system as early as possible, rather than distorting the market. Just reduce the income tax on low-income households, don’t make it harder for every business to operate by adding pricing complexity!

Add a UBI or negative income tax if you need to get more coverage for under-/un-employed.

I think the overhead of interventions like this is strongly under appreciated.
REM – Retro Golang ORM
Hey HN, this is the first release of my fun summer project, a Golang ORM in the style of something like Django. Currently supports MySQL and PostgreSQL dialects. I'm looking for feedback on the API design while it is pre-1.0!
What if instead it's helium that is a slight stimulant?
It sounds more official than discord.gg
Nothing more California than funneling middle-class money upwards under the pretense of doing it for the poor. Taxing people to pay other people's PG+E because PG+E is too expensive is asinine, its just a windfall for PG+E with no economic justification.

The correct lesson is to make power (et al.) affordable[0]: Tax people to make electricity cheaper - sure, but cheaper prices would mean PG+E makes less money.

[0]Like it is in much of the country
> rem is a PITA for small coding projects unless you don't care about design or love doing math all of the time.

I've never found the rem made it harder to care about design.
Google is not a good example to look at if you are thinking about enterprise software as these need to be supported long term and Google is not very good at that. They have a history of making breaking changes and discontinuing products.

Microsoft is a much better example for business software as they are (were?) paranoid about backward compatibility.
Where would you put them? Every habitable corner of the globe has people living in it already.
> I assume "pave over" is an alliteration to the fact

"pave over" has a pretty distinct meaning even in its figurative uses, referring to the encapsulation of the ground surface with asphalt or concrete, as happens in cities or with major highways. Solar panels aren't really the same, when you consider that they are now being used to shelter crops via agrivoltaics [1], increasing yields and decreasing water use while also providing supplemental income to farmers via electricity sales.

> even if there isn't square miles of pavement you are in fact destroying ecosystems

More likely modifying ecosystems, not destroying them altogether. Remember that the actual "paving over" of ecosystems - via roads, etc - and the fossil fuel extraction industry have and continue to do far more damage to ecosystems than any renewable generation has. The Kern River oil field near Bakersfield CA isn't exactly the picture of prime wildlife habitat anymore:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b0/KernRive...

Even the scientist at the forefront of research into the concern about desert ecosystems says [2]:

""It's certainly going to damage some of the ecology. I think that's a tradeoff we have to accept. It's part of becoming less reliant on oil, and more reliant on solar and wind power."

The Problem with Linus Tech Tips [video]
The video is not monetized. It covers serious concerns regarding the data accuracy of Linus Media Group, including Linus Tech Tips, ShortCircuit, and TechQuickie, particularly as it relates to rushing content out the door to favor -- by staff's own admission -- quantity over quality. As the company continues to expand into its LTT Labs direction, the importance of accurate data increases; however, even as 'only' entertainment, there are still certain responsibilities to the consumer and the manufacturers to report fairly (and to have defined corrections processes in place). The video tries to approach this as objectively as possible and hope that viewers are able to listen to the evidence presented, particularly as it relates to significant and frequent data errors that now present in nearly every technical review video.
Elixir C interop is actually pretty pleasant. After Java I was expecting it to be a nightmare, but it was shockingly easy and well though out.

The big thing in Elixir community right now is to write the native/performance code in Rust[1] and interop with Elixir.

If it's worth upgrading to, it's worth keeping for way longer than 3 years imo, but even then the amortized cost is quite high.
Measure of lowest annual precipitation. I thought they meant lowest RH. I spent 6 months in Saudi at the end of 2022. 11 to 14% humidity.
Apologies, but this actually sounds like a nightmare to me, if you have at least 1-10m+ loc over enough teams, enough teams being probably 5+ depending on org boundaries.

Either you support the new version or you don't is more than enough complexity to cause arbitrarily ridiculous problems, because there is a deep valley of you /think/ you support the new version and the new version thinks that it supports you but you both miss.

(who wants the t-shirt saying that they have been responsible for a 1m+ code base on top of 10m+ for at least 20 years?)
Anyone who thinks they don't have gaping holes in their knowledge, and criticizes others for it, is probably suffering from a severe case of Dunning-Kruger.
