> Russia is not that great an example because they don't actually manufacture anything at all that we'd miss, and we can quickly get gas and oil from elsewhere (and have done so).

'We' as in the US, sure,I'm sure the US backed this as much as they have because of projected earning in supplying mainland Europe with natural gas as opposed to Gazprom. Europe however was incredibly reliant on Russia, even though N. Africa and the Middle East could offset the demand in time it was something that could only be done with such a drastic as this took place with the US filling the gaps in between.

As for teh US v China dilemma: personally speaking that has come at too great a cost, the fact that they black-mailed the West during COVID for PPE shows that Xi will not consider them as equal partners, and will do anything to disrupt them if he feels it is in his best interest. China ha a myriad of advantages of other nations because it was the nation the West outsourced most to for high tech to low tech. There is no question that this will be a hard tranistion, but it is one that has to be made: Evergrande collapsing was 2 years in the making, everyone knew from the outcry from domestic retail side that it had gone belly up and instead of trying to rectify the situation, tear gas and beatings were used to quell uprisings of it and other banks. I fully expect more inflation from China to be made to prop up there already crumbling economy and unless the West wants to remain in this subservient role for critical goods it must act now when China is more focused on Domestic issues than at any other time since the Industrialization of the mainland.

I don't profess to know every minute detail of the chips you mentioned, but if it is in fact in the public domain and the Inflation Reduction act has made enough concession to make fabs in the US with international partners (LG/Samsung) than the only thing waiting is to put this all in motion. Economies of scale will be an issue, and perhaps this will be the reason we revert the planned obsolescence built into every device coming from China. That alone would be a step in the right direction in my view.
Why would you be sued for using a version from before the license change? Aka the last version you'd be able to use anyway if they went out of business.

The sheer history and depth of the Win32 library of programs is the reason Windows continues to be dominant in the desktop space.

Just the other week we had a thread about how Windows 11 will happily run Win32 programs from 30 years ago. Kudos to Microsoft, their dedication to backwards compatibility is exceptional.
Do you forget what we were trying to do? The explicit goal is charging batteries in 40’ containers and clearly PV isn’t working at night so what matters is consistency during the daytime. A flat panel on a rotating circle has a maximum theoretical capacity of diameter/circumference = 1/pi or 31.847…% on earth it’s more complicated due to axial tilt etc, but what matters is how consistent the output per day not the number of minutes per day we’re getting power.

Real world capacity factor Capacity factor 27.9% (average 2017-2019) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_Mountain_Solar_Facility that’s surprisingly close to the theoretical maximum for the location and design. Some break 30% but again it’s not about maximizing output just how much it cost to guarantee we can fill X TEU worth of shipping containers per ~week. Thus it don’t matter if there a 18 hour period one day when they aren’t being charged as long as you can charge enough on average.

> Meanwhile, the alternative, just making hydrogen

Sure let’s pay vastly more per gallon that’s an easy selling point. Hydrogen has maximum limits imposed by physics that severely limit end to end efficiency. It’s a dangerous bitch to store, transport etc. Low density, damages metals it comes in contact with etc, even rocketry got away from the stuff even though it has significant advantages for them.

Nobody is using the stuff because it’s got huge problems.

> ChatGPT got everything correct

My anecdote with technical information is exactly the opposite, unfortunately.

I routinely use it to help guide my research - generally about topics I know something about but want to know more.

It often will provide some response that is entirely wrong but looks very good. When called out, it apologizes, then proceeds to produce more information that's also not entirely correct. There's an artform to teasing out the right answer... but of course you have to be knowledgeable enough to know what is right in the first place.

The subtleties of correct or wrong can be very difficult to determine for a layperson. Without deep knowledge, one might be inclined to believe the first response it provides.

That's pretty terrifying when you think of the possible implications revolving around research, law, etc.

Not to dismiss the effort here, but wondering if this should go even further than bridging natural language to SQL. With recent work on LLMs showing promising capabilities in handling complex data structures, maybe the real play is to cut out the SQL altogether. Direct interaction with LLM-optimized data stores could yield more efficient, flexible, and fine-tuned results, eliminating the translational losses that might occur in the NL-to-SQL paradigm.

Like instead of shoehorning LLMs into old paradigms, why not conceive data storage systems inherently designed for LLM interfacing?

There's a latent inefficiency in using SQL as a bridge. It feels like trying to fit a new narrative into an old framework

And yes, rethinking database architectures from the ground up is daunting and demands more background in storage systems but given where machine learning and data interaction are heading, maybe we should consider it.
When I look at all the LLM SQL tools, I think: what a cheap and accessible way to get the wrong answers.

SQL is easy. Knowledge management is hard. Does the LLM know that there was a bug in June that changed the data? Does it know that this one column is improperly named and confusing? Does it know that you recently released a mobile app the data from which is in a different table?

No, of course not, those things are never explicitly documented and so are invisible to an LLM.
Nobody was talking about gender here until you used it as an excuse to reiterate talking points about how pay disparity is actually explained by women not asking for enough money or how men actually have it hard.
Even as a non-diabetic, I imagine a magically-convenient blood-glucose monitor could be very useful for some sort of digital-assistant, alerting our conscious brains to get some food or take a break.

Obviously the most bang-for-the-buck would be anyone operating heavy machinery or doing surgeries or driving, but a little alert could still be useful for office-work or procrastination behavior.

"GSM phones authenticate to the tower, but the tower doesn’t authenticate back. This means that anyone can create a ‘fake’ tower that your phone will connect to. The major problem here is that in GSM, the tower gets to pick the encryption algorithm! That means your attacker can simply turn encryption off (by setting encryption ‘algorithm’ A5/0) and simply route the cleartext data itself.In theory your phone is supposed to alert you to this kind of attack, but the SIM chip contains a bit that can de-active the warning. And (as researcher Chris Paget discovered) carriers often set this bit."

Yup, and I find this air of nostalgia amusing since I still use Winamp everyday.

What's even funnier is mIRC, though. Unlike Winamp, mIRC is still actively developed and it still looks more or less exactly like it did back in the Windows 3.1 days.
Windows 10 is far more bloated than XP, which was designed to run acceptably on sub-GHz processors. Windows 11 is even more so.

Try these emulators of previous Windows versions running in a web browser for something that'll definitely be slower than QEMU, but are surprisingly still not unusably slow; in fact, I suspect a lot of new corporate machines with the pre-installed spyware and other background stuff will feel slower:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24955706

On the other hand, in somewhat of a converse to your situation, I tried ARM Windows 11 in QEMU running under x86 emulation on a relatively new (2 years) machine, and it was an absolute slug. Installing took over an hour, booting to the desktop took 10-15 minutes, and right-clicking the start menu required a 10-second wait for it to appear (I dared not left-click, for the ad-filled monstrosity that summons would likely have taken far longer to appear.) Even the "modern" Task Manager took most of a minute to show up, and then continued to consume 60-70% CPU when "idle".

Edit: care to give some counterarguments?
This comment says more about you than the work environment.
Sushi Shin is a Michelin starred sushi restaurant. We have decent ramen options, we have Zareen's and Broadway Masala for Indian, we have Redwood Bistro which has some authentic sichuan and iDumpling for XLB. We have good beer and decent brewpub options, and a few good brunch spots. There's several other decent food options as well. Agreed things are overpriced at many, but that's the peninsula as a whole.

If you're at the stage of your life where you have small children, or are not someone who does a ton of going out, nightlight is irrelevant.

Agreed it could have more shops, it's very one dimensional right now.

Every downtown has cars everywhere, and the strip of restaurants on Broadway is notable in that it is still blocked off for foot traffic and is wonderful.

I have no idea what your idea of above average is for parks and playgrounds. We have a Magical Bridge, Maddux and Stafford parks and others. We have Stulsaft and other options.

I'd be really curious where you're getting $2k/sqft.

I meant different human languages. Is there something that cannot be expressed in one vs another in any way, even if it's long? I doubt it. Seems like there is something similar to Turing-completeness in effect.
Nvidia and really all chip designers are limited by the fab companies who are trying to scale as fast as they can. But all the cutting edge fabs are limited by one single supplier - ASML. ASML make the lithography machines and have a total monopoly. Even they cannot make lithography machines fast enough to satisfy demand - their lithography machines are sold out 2 years in advance
Asking 'what did Grenberg say' makes it sound like you didn't read the original article. Maybe you should put more effort into formatting your request. There's no way to hit up a HN reader directly, but he's active on Twitter and will usually respond within a few days.
I wasn't talking about you at all. And I honestly haven't followed the conversation you (SpaceLift in particular) may have been having with Hashi or not, though I am absolutely aware of and maybe even in the same boat as you. I think this is an issue between Hashi and some V.V.large players, I suspect that there are big companies who are selling deals that say they "support Terraform" when they aren't actually building it or supplying labor to Terraform as a code project in any meaningful way. But they derive value from a pledge in their real big money contracts to "support Terraform" which in reality costs them nothing except that they will have had to accept the license terms, clearly, whatever they are at that time.

They sell licenses to major (even government) institutions and Hashi OSS might be used as part of the solution, but Hashi aren't getting a cut of the deal. Let's say. I think those big companies want to have Terraform support with a capital T, and it would diminish their marks substantially to switch streams now and edge out Hashi, the smaller player (who is actually doing all of the work), by supporting OpenTF – separating them from ongoing development efforts of HashiCorp who undoubtedly are expending some significant labor to make and maintain Terraform itself.

But I don't think it's right for Open Source companies to pull the rug on other companies that have built successful products on them. I think the best outcome possible for Spacelift and companies like it now is the OpenTF route (assuming you can't get a suitably proper BUSL license grant from HashiCorp, which it seems like you might if you get them to declare you "not a competitor" even once, according to the FAQ as it reads today. IANAL.)

I think you're using the MPL software as the license was designed, and your company should be able to deliver Terraform with additional value provided through the interface and the scaffolding (eg. better Terraform Cloud) that you built around it, and charge money for it. But of course I'm not the lawyer. I am very glad to meet you here though!

Love the idea behind this. High quality transcription + the data not leaving your device is excellent.

Any chance there's an iOS version of this coming down the pike? It would be great to have a voice-based note taking app that you can use when you are driving or walking and you don't want to type into your phone, but you just want to save that thought you just had somewhere by quickly dictating it, and having it accessible as text later.
If using Ryujinx previously was an option, it will now become a necessity :D
It’s my thought with the Uvalde situation. Ultimately, those cops didn’t want to die a heroes death; even with some kids being harmed as they watched. I couldn’t imagine obeying the order to stand down while being equipped with a firearm.
If the guy can regularly get offers that much higher than what they are paying him, that's what he's worth, and they can meet it or he'll walk. Maybe just actually pay the guy his market rate and he won't bother wasting time job searching.

>Because you've now anchored the negotiation at 210 as the max, and he's going to try to get you for less because this is business.

Why though? The manager has a budget, you are within the budget, getting into negotiation when the condition is already satisfied can, at most, win 10K per year and lose the whole placement, which will cost much more in the additional search.

>But if he offers 200 and you have not given any number at all, you can negotiate and possibly get more than 210.

You also might get less.

not at all the same thing; elon, like all people, is fallible. he's not an engineer and CEO and visionary and project manager and salesperson. he's just a salesperson who likes engineering and didn't finish his college degree.

I just looked that up. Surely there's a non-zero percentage of people who do sincerely think David Icke's lizard people secretly control things.

I'm not claiming the insincerity constant is actually 0 but claiming it's 4% based on the assumption that those who must answer are being insincere, I think is incorrect.

Also have you taken those phone surveys? They go into "I really don't care" territory fast. "Now tell me, if you were going to buy toilet paper and there was a Walgreens, Rite-Aid, CVS, and Krogers, on a scale of 1 to 5, how often would you go into the Walgreens?"

What really strikes me is Nvidia's been working hard on doing practical work on their GPUs even just 10~15 years ago with PhysX, while both Intel and AMD just existed.

Nvidia's dominance today is the product of at least over a decade of work and investments to make better products. Today they are finally reaping their rewards.

Unless it's a trusted recommendation I'll look on the app store first. Sometimes I'll still get it from the app store anyway:

- The store itself is convenient for browsing and discovery.

- I don't need to do any kind of background checking on the developer prior to running their app

- Similarly they don't get access to my credit card details, so I don't have to be concerned about them storing it incorrectly or abusing it later

- It's also easier for me to pay them, as often foreign transactions are blocked despite me specifically approving them.

- I don't need to hand over my email or other personal details, small developers seem really bad at storing information and CC details properly. I use custom emails for everyone and numerous times I've seen my data on-sold, stolen by ex-employees, or simply thefted from the company by hacking groups.

- I don't have to do any reviews when there is an update, I can just accept it knowing that the developer is still trusted and that the project hasn't been hijacked such as the numerous painful times that popular open source projects have had malware snuck into them.

- If the app doesn't properly do what claims (or at least what I thought it would), it's a few clicks to get a refund from Apple.

- Apple carrot and stick developers to keep their apps up to date with the system. First carrot, and eventually the stick (delisting).

Some may argue that some of these things can still happen with an app store, but it's demonstrably less and there are processes in place to deal with that.

It's not a popular opinion, especially on HN, but there are plenty of developers who, whether through frustration or dealing with pedantic/rude* customer requests, treat their customers like shit, the store prevents that.

The app store ain't perfect, and there are plenty of functions which apps can't have if they're sold through the app store, but for its flaws it's trustworthy and helps me utilise a far larger number of utilities than I'd normally be comfortable with personally maintaining.

* I sit on enough discords to see how breathtakingly rude and demanding some users are without noticing it, even for totally free software.
