There's probably not a single lawmaker that they don't have on the hooks, along with a litany of CPA's who's sole existence depends on you requiring to have someone just input numbers into Intuit QuickBooks.

And most Americans just pretend that it's "fine".

Fun fact - to avoid under-withholding my CPA wants to charge me $2300 per year, that's not tax deductible. A simple thing of making sure that my withholdings are correct throughout the year and I don't have to pay IRS more in April...

So no. This is a corrupt system, that most Americans just pretend is "the norm".
Hmm. Interesting theory. But I just ran a google query of "carbon footprint", searching the internet until April 19th 2010, the day before the oil spill happened. There are thousands and thousands of results. I am seeing results well into the 1990s.
I think the focus should be on seasonal storage and that isn't a fully solved problem. But there are lots of ways to do it that aren't economically competitive yet.

But maybe a few of them could easily be competitive if they just picked up some momentum for popularity?

It's weird to me that when I search for "hydrogen storage" I get a bunch of results about cars. The biggest challenge for hydrogen seems like safety, and that is a much larger concern for a vehicle in my mind. Whereas I assume you should be able to bury hydrogen tanks for seasonal energy storage and those would be relatively safe. Especially when compared to hydrogen on vehicles zipping around.

There are other possibilities for renewable seasonal energy storage. Such as biofuels from algae or maybe vegetables. Ammonia is a possibility.

Compressed biogas might help meet seasonal energy needs.

Long-term high density batteries would be great. It sounds like this is more hypothetical though at this point?
I've seen some startups use notion. People would eventually start asking for confluence as they scaled, but with the right organisation, it can work great
> Btw have you tried some locally running models instead of GPT-4 for your automation?

Not yet, but the desire is there, especially because the generic GPT-4 API is quite slow in responding to more complex prompts, not to mention the privacy concerns. I think the next version of my home NAS is likely to have a GPU in it and will run things like an appropriately tuned llama2 or similar to be the brain backbone of my smart home. Feels like an obvious direction for commercial NAS to go in as well.

Can't wait for a future where we can buy a Rasberry Pi 7 with a little analog compute ASIC running local inference with ease ... intelligent controllers everywhere!

Show HN: Gym Training Optimized by Science-Driven AI
I've been lifting for 7 years, and my passion for understanding the 'why' behind things took me deep into the science of hypertrophy. After a year of diving into scientific papers, I identified a clear disconnect between how most people train and what the research indicates as optimal. \

So, I created Hyperficient: an AI trained on 1000+ scientific research papers on hypertrophy. It fine-tunes workout programs, aligning them with scientific principles for enhanced efficiency — meaning less time in the gym and more growth. Beyond that, it educates you on the science underpinning your program.
What novel problem would you want startup founders to solve? Are those problems solvable with current technologies? Is there a distribution model that'll work for that solution? Will the unit economics work? How big is the market for this novel problem? Is it worth spending time and money on this problem instead of a "generic product" that seems to be making more money?
Right, Apple has the most to lose if they resort to the business model of Facebook so they have an incentive to stick to what they are doing.
Some would say that Microprose's "Magic: The Gathering 1997" aka "Shandalar" or "Manalink", from Sid Meyer, could already play decently well.
We are talking about 5 years, which is longer than the average tenure at most tech companies.

I also don't buy any Covid-related excuse with this one. If anything, I personally saw at least a couple companies make good use of the "never let a good crisis go to waste" mantra, using the general chaos of the early months of Covid to make some long-standing necessary-yet-painful changes - that is, changes that pretty much everyone knew were the way forward in the long term, but had risk of hits to revenue or much higher expenses in the short term. Using the pandemic as an excuse to go all-in on AI/Siri (e.g. "People are spending more time at home/on screens and we need a better voice interface") would have been the perfect approach IMO.
Did you calculate the price of that cable? Mind that you need at least 2 and both will dissipate some heat = loss.

My tax guy uses Intuit Software as well. And I pay him 10x the cost of Turbo Tax. But I pay him for expertise / peace of mind.

Intuit can fleece me all they want. Give me non-BS advanced features and I will gladly pay way more. Just don't trick my mom & dad. But I guess they need to make their money from the masses.
> Virtual threading is fun and all until you find out SimpleDateFormat and a bunch of other classes built tight into your standard library aren't thread safe and now you need to go through your program and find out what else you missed. Go too has these fancy green threads at the cost of manually locking resources and finding out about race conditions when you forget about them.

Why would that ever be an issue? Instances of those classes shouldn't be shared between virtual threads just the same as when using regular threads.
I've seen such crowdsourced or alternative footage abused, often by mislabling it.

In one case, my YouTube addiction of watching Things That Go Boom paid off when I saw a video showing a huge refinery explosion reported as being in the Gaza Strip and recognised it instead as coming from a Pemex plant in Mexico: <https://yewtu.be/watch?v=0LD82y4ulds>

I posted evidence of the true nature and challenged the poster over the disinformation. They never issued a correction or apology, though the post disappeared some time later (months, as I recall).

This is fairly common: actual incident footage from one context is portrayed in another.

There's a classic cartoon illustrating this: two men running, one with a raised knife, though in the cropped framing of the television camera it appears that the fleeing man is threatening the attacker:
<https://archive.org/details/The-Media-Shows-You-What-They-Wa...>

Discussed on: <https://blogs.longwood.edu/visualrhetoricbadgley/>

Another classic example of framing shows two soldiers around a prisoner, one holding a rifle to the prisoner's head, the other offering water from a canteen. Depending on how that image is cropped, very different narratives are created:

<https://www.moillusions.com/media-manipulation-illusion-exam...>

My own preference is to attempt to source, view, and read information from multiple perspectives, whether that's video, images, or narratives/accounts. One lesson from our own senses is that we create the most accurate views of our world when relying on multiple sensory inputs. Our eyes, ears, and sense of balance can each fool us individually, it's much harder for them to be fooled collectively, or at least, the contradictions between inputs become apparent. This is a lesson well-understood by pilots, where the inner ear and actual or artificial horizon signals are often at odds (the "death spiral" in instrument conditions such as clouds, fog, or night flight is one tragic outcome, see JFK Jr.'s death).

And of course there are artisans who do manipulate these senses, which we find in cinema and stage magic, though those also rely strongly on a single and highly-crafted perspective on the action.
That’s just corporate greenwashing BS. Apple should put their money making hardware: iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch on a 3 year product release cycle (since barely anything changes year to year). They should make their products repairable. They should not be asking employees to RTO. Once they do those then I’ll believe the corporate marketing slideshow.
Only millions?
DHH made a good decision and hopefully more framework developers will follow in time.

Now, I'm sure there are a lot of bad software developers out there who don't understand why it's a good decision but there are always going to be bad software developers out there, it doesn't mean you should listen to them.
What?

Chicken as a meat has been depicted in Babylonian carvings from around 600 BC. Chicken was one of the most common meats available in the Middle Ages. For thousands of years, a number of different kinds of chicken have been eaten across most of the Eastern hemisphere, including capons, pullets, and hens. It was one of the basic ingredients in blancmange, a stew usually consisting of chicken and fried onions cooked in milk and seasoned with spices and sugar.

In the United States in the 1800s, chicken was more expensive than other meats and it was sought by the rich, but by no means does this make meat-birds a novelty of CAFOs.
What I do is in Fastmail I have a rule that snoozes all messages to around the time I usually take lunch. If I'm expecting a transactional I will just go fish it up when I need it.

I also use an app called Buzzkill that temporarily mutes serial noisemakers and spams any text message that contains a politician's name.

Finally, I wear an analog watch so I do not check my phone for the time.

Pretty much the only live push notifications I get are from direct messages, chats I am @tagged in, and credit card transactions.

Hard-coding a relative file path seems like an obvious example. For example a config file with settings. The file will always have the same name so heap allocations and mutability are not needed.

> As we go into winter, we'll switch to a tariff which does cheap overnight charging so we can arbitrage on cost.

"As we go into winter, we will leverage the super cheap battery poor folks are forced to pay to exist for us when it's convenient".

It's very hard to take these arguments seriously when that is really what is happening - relatively well off folks using the commons to subsidize themselves whilst patting themselves on the back about it.

Yes, it's a quite trivial problem when you get to outsource the hard bit of it and only have to pay for the low hanging profitable fruit.

Until your community battery gets into the weeks to month in storage capacity, these anecdotes really read disingenuous to me. Seasonal storage is the hard nut to crack, and we haven't even solved overnight storage for most places.

I've been spec'ing out truly off-grid designs lately, and it's an order of magnitude difference if you want to not use the public subsidy of your neighbors paying for it for you.

Well.. hm. Basically, in a "normal", non-self-hoisted interaction net you have agents that have principal ports and interact with each other -- in iNet, those are called nodes. So, I'm thinking it might be possible to make a self-hoisted interaction net by replacing each custom node/agent in the original "normal" net with a subgraph which is composed entirely of reusable nodes that implement the self-hoisting. And, I'd imagine that such a subgraph would have a single principal port pointing in the same direction as the "normal" agent's principal port did, plus an internal set of nodes which encode the rules. Hence, each "normal agent" is turned into a "composite agent" -- if that makes sense.

Dark matter is the exact opposite of this. Dark matter is a term used because we don't understand it. It's a place-in for "matter that doesn't match our existing understanding of matter". People aren't embracing it's existence. They are trying to figure out what it is, and why do our current models not account for it properly.

Yes, this is the distinction. In the past, we did our best to find guarantees about the things we invented. E.g. in control theory we would analytically find the limits of a system's inputs and performance, in CS we would determine bounds on the worst case performance, etc. But nowadays we just dump everything into a giant black box and call it a day.

It seems more likely that efficiency gains decrease aggregate compute requirements than people stop using AI tools altogether.

At minimum, LLMs work as a better human-software interface medium, which means they're going to be infused in almost everything non-technical consumer-facing.

Even absent any other breakthroughs, that seems like a huge consumer of AI hardware capacity.
That's a fair comment, if I'm honest I was going by the second D in ADHD (personal bias!) and then decided to lump everyone else in - Apologies!
The office with a door thing was how Microsoft was back in the day, if I remember correct. From the stories I heard, some of the offices were ridiculously small/narrow but they still had a door.

It's a modern Linux, closely follows upstream projects, and when you wonder how to set up some network configuration or something else you just open the script in question and it's mostly obvious.

It's a small community so hasn't got the same amount of eyeballs and might not always be as quick with security fixes as the bigger projects, but it might be a bit of stale, old, yet somehow fresh air for the author.

Author here. The ruleset in the blog post is correct. The rationale of the example ruleset is the following: we want to block TCP, UDP and ICMPv6 traffic from the attacker, while allowing other protocols.

Note that IPv6 packets are matched against all rules, while IPv6 fragments are matched against rules that contain network-level information only (as fragments don't have upper layer headers, except for the first fragment).

If the scrubbing is enabled, then `pf` is supposed to reassemble all fragments, so that there is no more fragmented traffic (= all rules are applied to all IPv6 packets). Normally, it works.

In this case, we tricked the firewall by sending an "atomic fragment" that is composed by multiple fragmented headers (this is forbidden by various RFCs). These headers trigger the reassembly mechanism of `pf`, but the packet is "re-assembled" only once: when it enters the rule matcher (after the reassembly), it is still considered a fragment, and all rules with transport-level (and higher) protocol information are skipped.

So, the "block-pass" pair at the end is used to exploit this behavior (in other words, we can decide which rule we match by playing with IPv6 fragment header).

PS: an "atomic fragment" is a IPv6 packet that is fragmented using only one fragment. Surprisingly, it is supported by RFCs.
