> reduces the need for grid infrastructure

Maybe I'm misreading this, but the infrastructure couldn't be reduced. Battery storage acts as a filter, allowing you to optimize the transition for both sides of the duck curve [1], but reducing infrastructure, as in removing plants, can't be done somewhere that can have its power generation halved by a passing tropical storm.

If you're saying "reduce dirty power", then yes. :)

As a side note, here's some interesting graphs I just found:

Everything is so flat in Germany! Including demand!
Flash content also sucked on Android phones. If it worked great, it would have been an obvious competitive advantage over Apple. It did not work great, though.

Everyone remembers this letter as the cause of death for Flash, when in fact it was merely the announcement. Flash killed itself on mobile.

All the Myriad Ways - by Larry Niven https://archive.org/details/Galaxy_v27n03_1968-10/page/n31/m...

Not a time travel premise, but rather a parallel universe approach... for that I'd suggest The Theory and Practice of Time Travel which expresses Novikov self-consistency principle ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novikov_self-consistency_princ...) (see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niven%27s_laws#Niven's_Law_(Ti... ).

I'd also suggest a watch of Time Travel in Fiction Rundown - Minute Physics https://youtu.be/d3zTfXvYZ9s

If you want something longer on the subject, then Timemaster by Robert L. Forward is a good book to read ( https://archive.org/details/timemaster00forw/page/n11/mode/2... ). It begins with:

> There exist semieducated but obstinate people who have raised the concept of strict local causality to godhead, and attempt to use such words as "obviously" and "it only makes sense that . . ." in an attempt to "prove" that their version of causality cannot be violated, and that any sort of time machine is logically impossible. From my reading of the scientific literature, they are wrong. If I receive a letter from this sort of person complaining about the "impossibility" of the time machines in this novel, I will throw the letter in the nearest wastebasket . . . unless the letter is accompanied by a reprint of a scientific paper published in Physical Review (or any other reputable, refereed scientific journal), written by the person writing the letter, which proves that the paper "Cauchy Problem in Spacetimes with Closed Timelike Curves" by Friedman, Morris, Novikov, Echeverria, Klinkhammer, Thorne, and Yurtsever, is erroneous.

You'll note that history in that story remains consistent... and you can't kill Hitler.
>depending on mobile phones, which in this case did not work, is not good enough

Hawaii's use of mobile phone notifications do not have a good track record for those of us only hearing about how they don't work. At least they did not receive incoming nuclear attack messages to throw even more chaos into the situation
how do I install it? There is no docs about that..
> there's no way for a third-party to use Google's RCS APIs right now

To be fair, this criticism is fundamentally true of iMessage, too. Implementing all of iMessage's features in an open, trustless manner is impossible.
I didn't exactly intend to disagree with you, but I did get a bit combative there though, as I narrowed in a bit much when writing my response. I wanted to expand (and work out my thoughts) on

> A massive UI overhaul (but without breaking features) is almost definitely a major version bump

as I think effect of UI changes tends to be underestimated. Just because v1 & v2 both have a button to frobnicate doesn't mean that they are equal. If v1 had a big large frobnicator in the main screen, and v2 buried it in a menu, you could say that no feature was broken, but the user interaction is very different.

That sort of change often gets rolled into a minor/patch bump, but it does break workflows. However if every change like that bumped the major version, it would be noise. There would be no way to judge the scale of the changes from v9 to v23 vs v14 to v16.

I'm not sure if the spirit of the law of SemVer applies here though. The type of change is not important, only how much has changed. Bugs can be features.
No, it's an impossible equation. Germany cannot win this game without nuclear, barring an unlikely huge breakthrough in battery storage real soon.

Because of renewables' intermittency, there's an upper limit on how much you can have of them in the mix. If the rest of your mix (even just 20%) is coal, your CO2/kWh average is destroyed because its emissions are so much worse than the rest.

There will always be a minimum need for a "base load" energy source in the mix, and only two of them are low carbon : hydro and nuclear. Germany doesn't have the geography for hydro, but they decided to ditch the other one... guess what happens next ?
The best people I work with don't use this stuff. They solve problems based on pattern matching.

Having read hundreds of books and papers over the years, no problem seems new to them. They can rapidly find a solution, especially compared to someone trying to derive a answer from first principles like Polya suggests.
I haven't used a Mac back then neither have I seen one, I only knew they existed. But even as a Windows user, Flash was mildly annoying. Serious exploitable vulnerabilities just never ended. They'd fix one and three new ones would pop out.

But then again, I also built my own stuff with Flash, and that side of it was amazing. ActionScript docs are some of the best API docs I've ever seen. The ease with which you learn to use Flash the authoring software is also noteworthy.
It’s also completely impossible to detect “centaur” works which are a joint effort by human and computer. Where do you even draw the line?

I use LLMs when I write as a tool to help me generate new ideas and find better word choices. If I were a student I would want to use the hell out of this, it really takes the drudgery out of writing.

Japan has never had nuclear final repository for obvious NIMBY and anti nuclear reason. Nuclear fuel cycle has been considered to the way to process nuclear "waste" in nuclear strategy. Fast reactor wasn't a thing but people thought it will be made in the future. Saving fuel is an another reason of course.

Japan's fast reactor Monju is failed and there's no realistic plan to have a new one. Other western countries' projects had stopped. The cycle is now almost broken, but govt still need to say that it's in progress because it's terrible to say that we run nuclear plants but we don't have repository.

Typically HN users don't write random responses to a comment they didn't understand. But if you were literally just putting some words down for the sake of replying with something, (for what reason?), then I'm not really sure how to take that.

This, I think the reason for the large number of deaths in the event was that because there are no wild fires in Hawaii the government and people were unprepared for it. they have lava(which is not the same) but are used to dealing with that.

This will happen whenever an infrequent event happens. A large earthquake hits the British islands, complete clusterfuck, japan, they handle it. A hurricane hits Florida, they are used to it. southern California, everybody goes insane.

Ubuntu is the first place I encountered this convention. You might think that Ubuntu 22.04 and 22.10 are closely related because the vast majority of software uses something that loosely resembles semver, but no, they're two different major releases. Very confusing.
This also sounds like suggestions made by people that have never been to the specific area being discussed, and assuming things based on experience where they are located.

The roads in Hawaii are not high speed in any sense of the word. It took me a couple of hours to get from Lahaina to the airport on the one trip I have taken there. This is typical, as the group I was was with were regulars there and knew to leave hours in advance. The roads are 2 lanes with one in either direction. One of the streets was so close to the ocean, the larger waves were lapping onto the street. Even during that trip, I was thinking to myself that this is not a place I would want to be trying to a make an emergency trip by car.

> A good grasp of overall architecture allows you to produce your own heuristic for how to navigate the code, where to look for problems, build internal models of where things might be going wrong, etc.

This is the benfit of using a framework, if you are building different projects. Learn one architecture intimately, and you save a lot of headroom. You can also hire people familiar with the framework, who have built this intuition already, even though they have never seen your codebase before.
Yes.

It's more relevant in a word problem, where you need to extract the condition from text and translate it into syntactical math notation so you can compute.

"John wants to have 7 pizzas. He has already made 3 pizzas. How many more pizzas does he need to make?"

Data: 7 pizzas needed. 3 pizzas made.

Unknown: X pizzas more to make

Condition: X+3=7

Or for geometry diagram problems (diagram geometry is word problems where the words are pictures), where you have to extract the relationships from the diagram.

The book has more examples.
This appears to be a website that you use in order to learn about different kinds of locks in PostgreSQL. There is nothing to install AFAICT. You browse this site with your web browser.
It really is not backed by cryptographic security at all. Since your server has access to plaintext emails when sending and recieving (99.99999% of email addresses would be outside skiff), which completely subverts the whole point of encryption. A vulnerability on the server could leak all user emails, without needing their keys.... This is a solution theoretically only as strong as encryption at rest.
Human intuition is based on raw data - photons, pressure waves and so on. Extracting meaning from this raw data is complex. Maybe, one day a machine will be able to look at various performance metrics (time to last byte, load times, commits per day, etc) and give us a concrete plan of action. However, we don’t have that today so should probably learn to trust the associative cortices since it is the best machine that we currently have.
Prior to LLaMA 2, I would have agreed with you but LLaMA 2 is a game changer. The 70B performance is probably between 3.5 and 4. But running it personally isn't cheap. The cheapest I found is about $4/hr to run the whole thing. I only spend around $3 on average a month on GPT-3.5 API for my personal stuff.
To make this worse, they won't even let you apply a credit freeze online until you're eighteen years old.
Specialized Vector Database vs. Integrated Vector Database
I completely agree! I loved working with Flash back in the day; it was an empowering tool for me as a developer with little animation experience. It packed so much power into one tool with a complete end-to-end workflow. Over a decade since the "end of Flash" and I still find myself searching for tools that deliver the same capabilities, without the complexity. Things are improving with tools like Rive, but the market still feels fragmented and complex. Flash was way ahead of its time.
The question isn't about whether you can get in trouble for invoking it. The question is about whether or not invoking it indemnifies you from the consequences of the deviation from regulations. I.e., sure you can imagine it and not be punished for violating regulations, but if what you do that violates them is reckless, wrong, unnecessarily dangerous, are you still protected from punishment.

> The current survey study does not draw a direct line from mistreatment and discrimination to deaths and morbidity. But, CDC officials suggest it clearly plays a role, noting that higher scores for the quality of maternity care are associated with lower risks of pregnancy complications.

Yes, but that conclusion is still correlation, at least as mentioned here.

Also, from the CDC report https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/mm7235e1.htm

". The option to complete the PN View Moms survey online was shared with 7,607 opt-in panel members¶; 2,407 (32%) mothers responded."

That is, the mom's were self-selected and their data self-reported. A double-whammy of red flags.

Don't get me wrong, the USA's maternal death rate, as well as the infant mortality rate are godawful, embarrassing, etc. but this type of "analysis" (cough cough) is hardly a step in the right direction. Coming from the CDC? How??
Google was never the same after Sergey left. With him, all employees, execs, investors shared the original credos of organizing the world's information.

And after him, it became like any corporation, with everyone seeking to gain as much personal wealth as they could. The dream was dead.

I saw this firsthand.
Exactly. It's much like the music industry (though kinda the opposite), where a bunch of people claim "you're just getting old, music today isn't any worse than in the 1970s". It's not true: the commercial music industry these days is completely different, and part of it is the sound engineering. Back then, they mixed music to be played on Hi-Fi systems at home, and music had very wide dynamic range; these days, they mix music to be played through earbuds in a noisy environment, and music is highly compressed (and the production process is just the tip of the iceberg).
I'm from Latin America and I'm well aware of how it was colonized.

In a sense, moral relativism allows for everything. It would allow, for example, situations where it's ok to rape and murder children, for example (dress it as a religious ritual, or whatever).

This however holds no truck with me. Segregation was bad. Slavery is bad. Rape is always bad. Genocide is always bad. It's ok to study cultures where mass rape or genocide was acceptable, while also understanding it's abhorrent. Let me be clear that I think it's ok to study and understand cultures who consider genocide acceptable, but genocide itself is never justified.

More importantly, Hitler lived in an era when genocide wasn't acceptable. He created a microclimate where Nazi leadership convinced others it was acceptable (within the inner circle they were plain about it, but outside of it they used euphemism because they knew people would recoil otherwise), but it wasn't acceptable in the Western world, so he doesn't even have that excuse.

This has the corollary that in the future, some acceptable practice today will likely be seen as horrendous, and I'm fine with that. But, again, we're talking genocide here, to put things into perspective.
I love my Pebble Time watch, and for the first several years I used all the bells and whistles: the sleep tracking, the Bluetooth alerts, even the mini games (like Tetris) from the Pebble Store.

But after about 6 years of ownership, I noticed that my battery could only hold a charge for 3-4 days, compared with 10-12 when I first got it.

Then I realized that I wasn't regularly paying attention to the sleep tracking data. And the Bluetooth alerts were a little noisy, especially since I'm in front of a laptop for most of my workday. And once Pebble went out of business and the Rebble app store became more of a gamble, I realized it had been a while since I used any apps.

So about a month ago, I bought a simple $40 Timex watch. And it dawned on me that it has the three things I really want: a clock, an always-on display, and a super long battery life.

I'm not entirely abandoning my Pebble. It's still nice to wear when I'm out and about and don't want to constantly check my phone for notifications. But it's nice to know that when it finally wears out for good, I've got an acceptable backup.
Substring search for the word delve in the intro paragraph is all you need. :)
I would argue that the fix is for the software to refuse to function if it can detect that it's in an environment where it won't function safely, to fail-closed rather than fail-open.
You misunderstand me.

No matter how you choose the statement "I have at least one (girl/boy)", (prefer one, flip a coins, etc) once you tell me it's always 2/3 boy-girl. Until you tell me it's 1/2. Any algorithm to choose which to say works as long as it's true and you don't convey more information about the children like "my older child is male".

Your counter arguments are wrong, but you don't seem to even acknowledge that I am saying that. I'm willing to try to explain why, but not if you don't want to learn and just want to insist you are correct. Ask yourself how long you would spend trying to explain Monty Hall to someone who kept insisting it was 1/2 to change.
And how are you sure biking was the cause? There are other things that can negatively affect a battery.
> Literally just using async def for functions that do IO and write await.

If only it were that simple.

> You will get far more trouble using third-party concurrency libraries than trying to use the Python library which is actually very elegant

Again, you overlook the fact that asyncio requires you to explicitly launch a concurrent context. Asyncio is fine, but it is not "elegant" because of this.
I believe pattern matching works best when solving problems with little variation from previous ones.

Novel problems requires a lot more maturing and thinking, which is when slower, longer term thinking like Polya suggests goes a long way.

this is likely more temperature related. Stuck in a pannier bag with no cool air can do that to a battery.
If she needs medical attention, she should call an ambulance. If she doesn't, it's not urgent.

Using a datecode shows immediately how old a given release is, which is useful information. I don't know how old Chrome 101 or Firefox 89 is; I know how old Windows 11 22H2 or LibreOffice 24.2 is.

Using a traditional Major.Minor.Revision.Build version number shows how much of the codebase is common between different versions. I can expect something made for one Major version to work in any other same Major version release, I can expect only a Revision or Build increment to include only very minor changes; likewise I can expect breaking changes between different Major versions. I don't know what Chrome 101 is other than it's after Chrome 100; I know NT6.0, 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3 are largely interchangable.

Mouseovers were just the tip of the iceberg: fixed screen sizes and other desktop UI conventions, assumptions that you could just leave things constantly running rather than figure out how to do proper event-driven programming, etc. Yes, they could have tried to do a “Flash mobile” but most of the appeal was compatibility with the huge library of existing apps and users wouldn’t have been happy with that, while authors would have bristled at having to give up their favorite hacks. Flash was a fractal of bad programming and UI design, and there was no way to get that community to improve since Adobe was one of the worst offenders and didn’t care about their platform in any discernible way. People wrote Click-to-Flash plugins to keep it from crashing your browser, every browser had to change their architecture to handle Flash crashing, the plugin & authoring tools had tons of performance, stability, and security issues – and Adobe just kept snoozing, waking only enough to cash the royalty checks, and claim the next version would be totally better.

Another poster mentioned the hangs - which is very true - and I can say that the desktop Macs I supported had a high 90% of the crash logs show Flash as the culprit, not to mention almost every CPU / battery life issue.

There were some great artists who produced neat work despite it but the only company to blame for Flash’s demise is Adobe. As a thought exercise, ask why Flash on Android consistently sucked – if they were trying to make the case that Apple should reconsider, they could have put at least one intern on making that seem appealing.
