It's obvious that those firelighters make a lot of carbon particulates.

Just burning one and looking at the flame, thick black smoke comes off it.

I suspect the cellulose is the cause, rather than the kerosene. Perhaps the problem is that the kerosene burns at a lower temperature than the cellulose, and liquid kerosene can act as a decent heatsink via the specific heat of vaporization, therefore preventing the cellulose getting hot enough to properly burn.

Burnout does not work like that.
I have a couple of lolin boads as well I am using for development. The firebeetle board that is linked is hands down the best esp32 board due to the voltage regulator.

In hibernation with only the RTC clock running I believe it only consumes 0.008mA which is coin cell worthy with a < 1% duty cycle. With the wemos boards my lowest is around 3-4mA which is still fine but considering price is the same I would recommend the firebeetle ones.
I cannot imagine your motivations for writing this. It's so offensively bad and inaccurate it defies my understanding. It's also dangerous enough to flag, which I have.
I'd say that sounds accurate for open source projects. Calculate how many GitHub projects have a "used by" section.
Good service costs money, you shouldn't expect much when you shop around for the cheapest possible flight. It was better before the likes of Ryanair and EasyJet came along but you couldn't afford to fly off somewhere warm for the weekend on a whim.

3% per year would be dangerous: in the 60s it used to be 320 out of a million molecules of air, 320*(1.03^(2023-1960)) = 2060 per million. A cognitive decline is observable as of 1000 per million. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide#Below_1%

I still have the machine. Removing all but 4M and booting XFree VGA with an xterm doesn't even use more than 500KiB of swap, so it's actually usable. So is 95.

On the same machine, NT 3.5 BSODs. With 12MB is the first I can get it to boot, albeit it complains that some services failed to start, and generally thrashes like hell, using 20MB of swap...

You can even try muLinux yourself, albeit it's kernel 2.0, not 2.2, and it opens some X11 utils that bump swap usage to 2MB (not very usable).

The realistic investment thesis for Tesla was always that it ends up as big of a player as GM, Ford, or Toyota. The valuation was driven by irrational optimism and hope it could sustain its margins as competition increases. It's looking like that's not going to happen (no surprise, here), and its margins will end up looking more like a legacy carmaker's. The open question is what happens to car prices as electric drivetrains take over. Between motors being cheaper and battery prices coming down, the BOM should drop, but does that turn into higher margins (mostly for legacy carmakers), higher base trims, or lower prices.

While the level of CO2 cannot be sensed directly, the climate change is something that I have seen with my own eyes, without anybody telling anything about it.

Where I live, in Europe, since I was a little child and until now, the climate has transitioned from winters during which there were three months or more of continuous snow cover to winters during which it snows at most once or twice and the snow melts immediately, usually in a few hours.

When I was a child, temperatures under minus twenty Celsius degrees were not unusual, while now there are more than ten years since the last time when I have used my winter jacket and my winter boots.
>why bother putting cash in a bank

In general, banks are set up to deliver consumer services that brokerages are not. However, in these days where treasury funds have ~5% interest rates, it makes sense to keep checking account balances at a level that they have a comfortable buffer for your preferences but no higher.

I see my brokerage makes the case for maybe not needing a separate bank. Which may be true at this point. On the other hand having one doesn't really cost me much and would probably be a bit of a pain to change.
> Of course they need a warrant.

Right, but your post kind of made it seem like they didn't. And with the CSASM stuff, they didn't need anything to match hashes. So what happens when that gets expanded to other types of content that they still don't need a warrant for? Like torrent files?

> But the point is that if the data is fully encrypted, no warrant will help against pure mathematics. A cloud provider cannot give something they have no access to.

Agreed, but most don't use encryption, and should still have privacy rights for their data.
They can if they'd like to, but they're unable. The kind of mud they're dealing with is very slippery, so, unless you bring a vehicle specifically designed for it, you're not going to be able to drive on it without being sunk up to your axles.
I used to think this way and even made a browser extension to facilitate it (Browser Routr). Yet increasingly one must use Chrome or deal with random breakage and failed purchases because web devs cannot be bothered to try anything not Chrome. Sometimes even Safari is broken.

I can't remember the exact cycle, but essentially fish kibble in farms is made of small fish with heavy metals and farm fish that are fatty retain those metals in their fats to a much higher rate then other fishes.

No. There is/was another post on the front page about the SAG-AFTRA strike related to voice acting and its relevance to gameplay. I wanted someone who has played Psychonauts (more than I have) to give their opinion about the voice acting in this game lol.
Large scale mass farming as a consequence of consolidation is also responsible for the massive reduction in insects and birdlife biodiversity. Basically, miles upon miles of monoculture, that's a food desert for the insects, and the birds don't have any habitat as there are no bushes, no shade, nothing. And on top of that come the issues with deadly pesticides that kill off bees and other pollinators and leach into groundwater.

People keep asking me why I'm so strongly opposed to GMO in food, outside of stuff like Golden Rice. The reason is that we can't trust Big Ag to not do the wrong thing: for one, there are serious questions on monopolies and dependence of farmers, even entire nations in the end upon suppliers, and it's almost exclusively about introducing resistence against pesticides, with the aforementioned effects on biodiversity.
Actually some of that rings a bell, so thank you for explaining. I believe what I've experienced is that but it's not so much an insight that needs analysing so much as having the obviousness of it thrust in your face. In my case, no analysis needed, but I am of course speaking only for myself.

Fernando Pessoa is my inspiration. As a teenager, his heteronyms shaped my life. Not because of being heteronyms, but because of the philosophies of life that they taught, and how they differed. Pessoa taught me that there there can be a fusion of philosophy and poetry.

Fernando Pessoa is one of the few "famous" people who I would really love to meet and have a chat with -- the other being George Orwell. I am currently reading the Book of Disquiet and I sometimes have to stop myself from being too marveled at what I'm reading. The depth of emotion and of insight!...

Note that this OP probably has some agenda against dollar, being that in another comment before https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37046128#37047171 they said

"Yeah, for example China's position of overwhelming strength vs. weak little USoA meant that China's wages have risen by an order of magnitude and their technology catapulted into the present century, building them in to the world's largest economy."

Just a subtle subterfuge against dollar if I had to guess
I think you are missing an incredible amount of context. The main takeaways I got from GP's post are:

- psychedelics can be and usually are an incredible life-changing experience for the better

- psychedelic-naive users should start with the lowest-duration drugs until they know how their body and brain react to them

- it's also a really good idea to have an "abort button" on hand (xanax/olams. Personally I'd recommend lorazepam, it's much safer and milder) if things start to go really south

I understand the concern about polypharmacy, but Benzos and psychedelics don't really have adverse interactions. The whole point is that benzos can put the kabash on the anxiety component of a "bad trip" (they won't stop the trip but they will mitigate the potential for psychological injury).

On the other hand, GP is saying things elsewhere in thread that feel... insufficiently substantiated, to be generous.
You're right. I read too fast. Coming from Go, I'm used to errors on unused local variables, and like that Zig does the same.
How about instead of thinking about it from a statistical perspective we think of it from a liability one. A human driver has direct liability for the motor vehicle they operate. Meanwhile Cruise is a social construct literally designed to avoid liability.

If a human kills someone accidentally they are almost certain to apologize and be obviously distraught. Cruise will deny everything, never apologize. While that is technically valueless by your metric, in the real world that has a lot of intangible value for those involved.

This is dated Fri sep 1st where TsLA closed at 245.
The previous Friday, 25th aug, it closed at 238

I’m not sue what “tumble” means in this instance

Sure Tesla isn’t at the heights of a couple of years ago, but neither is the S&P in general. Given that at the start of 2020 TsLa was about $30 and it’s now about 8 times higher, a “tumble” would be back down well below 10.
We should expect the resignation of the CIO, at the very least.

My classes in finance said that rule #1 is to make your payroll (followed closely by pay your taxes). Failure to do this - even when the problem isn't cash flow, but IT failure - is inexcusable. It's the CIO's job to ensure that any risks to this are mitigated.
Had the same reaction and, as a non-native speaker of English, was wondering what other meaning thus acronym may have.
You need a mentor, not a book. Ask your network or people you trust to refer you to one. Do not feel bad about confirming or sanity checking their advice with others on your journey. Bad advice is worse than no advice, and it is challenging to suss out what will have value and what won’t.

It's funny that Chrome does the same and nobody really cares. I've compared social media posts covering the equivalent anti-privacy features in each browser and Edge gets an order of magnitude more the hate than Chrome. Maybe because the expectation is that a build-in OS browser shouldn't be run for profit?
Billing by the day is not the best for everyone: billing by the hour can give you the flexibility to work incomplete days or switch between clients during the day.
It has good potential and nobody ever thought that RNN's would be able to scale as they have led by BlinkDL.

Well we did at Stability AI which is why we provided and scaled compute for it.

They have the potential for far better edge inference and also benefits longer context windows.

There are other architectures out there too we are supporting, I would be surprised if the current transformer LLM paradigm is what we use in a few years.
Thanks for asking. It all worked out OK. I had a good relationship with my manager, and he actually seemed a bit embarrassed that he had to put those remarks in the review.

I also had a very good relationship with both the VP of engineering and the senior VP who oversaw the entire product and who I'd worked with before on other projects.

I did leave eventually, but it was for unrelated reasons.
To me this illustrates something different than “all Silicon Valley people think they are the good guys”. Eg. Elon Musk is famously not very nice, doesn’t pretend to be nice, and many people have had bad experiences with him directly. But there is a different set of SV people who no one has ever said a mean word about personally, but whose influence on the world is deeply harmful, sometimes bordering on evil, like Campbell’s case here.

I think many people can’t tell the difference between a nice person and a good person.

Yep, and the ads are especially frustrating for me because I personally forked over $200 to buy Windows Pro when I built this gaming PC. This isn't a case of ads supporting a free product, it's ads layered on top of a piece of software that was decidedly not free.
But Chrome desperately needs to tell you it’s Earth Day or Indigenous People’s Day or something equally unimportant with a breathless enthusiasm that would make a Southern Baptist Preacher on a Telethon blush.

I’ve finally hit a wall with “enhancements” in chrome I can’t shut off. If I type “man” in the Omnibar I don’t want to know about Manchester United and get an icon with the team. In fact I don’t want any pictures at all in the omnibar.

Apparently my Google Fu isn’t good enough or it’s just flat out impossible to change, because I still get what I feel are ads for brands in the Omnibar when I search for stuff.
Well, there's no unified legal frameworks for them across all of _Europe_, for starters.

But in many places there's no need to get the members to authorize the strike, the union itself holds that power (I am at least 99% sure that's the case in Germany and France, at the very least.)
Your timeline doesn’t work favorable for our climate. Electric car rollout is even slower than public transit rollout. A willing city government can dedicate a lane or two in strategic arterials, build bus stops, orders busses, and hire more bus drivers in 3-5 years easy (even quicker if they—as many cities already do—have a plan in place).

So far battery manufacturing facilities and raw materials required for an electric car rollout with equal impact to public transit simply don’t exist, creating the infrastructure for these facilities and expanding mining operation to meet up with the demand of batteries for all these electric cars might take 5-10 years with heavy government involvement, including subsidies to manufacturers amounting to orders of magnitude more than public transit infrastructure would need.

A realistic rollout of electric cars of sufficient magnitude is north of 2035. A realistic rollout of public transit infrastructure is 2030 with benefits starting immediately.
I found creating a small Python webserver using Starlette plus a basic CLI using Click to be great for interacting and testing hardware. Python gives you an easy way to integrate with your actual code on the hardware using whatever interface you need with its wide support of different protocols. Click gives you a way to create a robust CLI for interacting with your Python code, and Starlette gives you a way to create a really lightweight but extensible webserver for both simple and more complex GUIs. Then, you can even add pytest on top of that for integration tests. Overall, I'd highly recommend this setup for hardware prototyping.
I suspect I have a different understanding of capitalism. To me it simply means free markets. Something the author is taking advantage of to build the life she wants. But she seems to dislike the hustle culture that has formed within our current economic system.

> Of course people shouldn't be forced to lose their car or move to a denser area if they don't want.

You say of course, but that's exactly what eco-warriors want. Notice how "picture" doesn't think of his fellow humans as fully real, thinking people with their own fully developed opinions. He thinks we're all manipulated into wanting things, and that only if "the system" wasn't "distracting" and "manipulating" us with gadgets and private pools we'd all realize the superiority of collective ownership.

This is a very dangerous attitude. If you don't respect other people's views, and if you think they're all a product of manipulation you definitely don't, then you won't have any compunction in overriding them by force. That's why the degrowth agenda is strongly associated with the road and runway glueing brigade: they don't care if an ambulance can't get past them and someone dies as a result, or if you can't get to work and lose your job. Your preference for petrol powered transport is merely a manipulation by the system and thus has no validity.

In practice, comfort is mostly a function of stuff. Yes there are aspects that aren't to do with stuff but they're things that are really hard to move the needle on: loving families, low corruption, stable government and so on. Once you've got those things it's much easier to raise standards of living with incrementally better stuff than incremental improvements in quality of government, for example.
And an error bar on a graph makes it less useful for making decisions?

> Probably like half of human population would die from starvation due to failed crops if we didn't use pesticides.

Half the food that is produced ends up wasted, and a serious amount of crops isn't even counted in that total figure because it's destined from the start for fucking biofuel.

Get rid of that waste, get rid of fossil fuels, and you can feed the world comfortably without having to turn farms into chemical weapon dispensers against all kinds of wildlife.
As these haven't been working, I think it's probably time to give up on the attempt to create a new monthly thread around this—can I ask you to stop posting them?

There are a couple reasons why I'm not inclined to support this one even though your intention is obviously good: one is that similar threads in the past haven't done very well—I think that there just isn't a high-enough concentration on HN of people looking for cofounders for a thread like this to effectively match them. It will either get ignored, or drowned in noise, or become repetitive, even from month to month.

The other reason is that YC already has a site for cofounder matching: https://www.ycombinator.com/cofounder-matching, and this problem is probably more on the YC side of the yard.
Wow. It feels like that "Got it!" dialog box has to violate privacy laws at least somewhere in the world.
I enjoy spoilers also. But if the game is story-driven, then I do feel skipping cutscenes makes me miss out on the story or become confused and start to care less about the game (e.g. Diablo IV)

But yes, a point I made in my original comment is that this all depends on the specific game and your circumstances whether and how much sound you listen to.
How do you know that people are lazy by nature and not because their job sucks?

Of course they have zero incentive to get anything done, they get paid regardless of how well the project gets done.

Maybe if they had the guts to leave a paycheck for browsing Reddit and started their own business they would have success too.

When I work on my projects I have way more stamina than when I'm doing client work. I kind of have to resist the urge to kill myself all the time instead of doing that boring job and I keep reminding me I'll be able to build a villa with the money.

I don't think it's laziness or lack of accountability,
I think it's the 20 years of indoctrination in the school system - which are just factories churning out employees afraid of stepping out of line.
This is the thing I keep trying to remind people about when people complain about how much energy Bitcoin uses. Just think about how much energy is used by the U.S. government to maintain fiat.

It's wild that people want to focus the problems of completely unproven new technology whose adherents are betting on it taking over.
