> Conversely, no mechanics in the country know how to work on EVs. EVs only work in the suburbs.

I’m so glad you said this. No one understands how big an issue this is. They only have to look at historical examples like how motor vehicles failed to establish as a market because no carriage workers knew how to work on engines

> There may not be shops advertising flashes yet, but I expect they'll come

It's been over a decade since the first car that I bought new which had a touchscreen, and it wasn't a pricey high end car. When is this market going to come?

I do think it's not necessarily a good thing for all the stuff to be routed through the screen. I do agree there should be some amount of things operated by physical buttons and switches like gear selectors and turn signals and wipers and what not. But between my car with a ton of buttons and a tiny screen and my car with few buttons and a large screen, I'll take the one with the large screen every time.

The one with lots of buttons has a small screen, making it harder to put in an address or using it while stopped. It's harder to fully understand the navigation at a quick glance on the smaller screen. The vast majority of buttons are practically worthless wastes of space 90% of the time and really shouldn't be used while driving anyways.

> wouldn't have installed it if my car didn't already have a space for it in the dash

Well, there's not a spot to install one in either of my cars with screens in them, but all the cars which didn't have them were easily upgraded to have them. So once again it's easier today to play videogames while driving in my 2000 Accord than my Mach E on something "built-in" to the dash.

This is why I say your point is disingenuous. In a 1993 Ranger, today, I can spend $500 and do your distraction filled example. It would cost me many thousands to do it on either of my touchscreen cars, requiring massive, invasive modifications. This is true of every car I've owned which didn't have a touchscreen from the factory and every car with a touchscreen from the factory, for well over a decade.
He said he designed it for his use case of executing trusted configuration code, which some others appreciate. Obviously there was some misunderstand about the goals and priorities of the project.

Making this change would cost him something he values without giving him something else he values in return. According to him, Snake Engine already provides a default safe solution, so he's not leaving anyone without a remedy. It would cost you to switch, but you would get something in return. That seems fair to me.

I don’t want cities to build stupid EV charging crap everywhere. They could invest that in public transport instead. EVs have all the same social problems as cars.
It is still very much used for weather forecasting (ECMWF has components in it), as well as materials physics, quantum chemistry, and things like finite elements and nuclear fuel performance codes.

It is much, much better than C for all these applications. Nobody in the field seriously considers C; all the non-Fortran codes are in C++. Both the Fortran and C++ bits have Python wrappers anyway.
I'm wary of telemetry, but willing to accept it. It's the lack of respect that gets to me. "Yes/Maybe Later"? Showing me a fake Windows update screen once a month to try to get me to use an online account and switch to Edge? Starting a Bing search when the start menu doesn't recognize an application's name? Pre-installing games with advertisement and microtransactions?

It's a commercial operating system, for Christ's sake, stop pushing sleazy features. They are quickly burning through all the trust acquired over decades.

I think it’s less work to just use static content in places and avoid having to learn a whole new model of rendering, routing, data fetching and a lot of rules than it is to have a traditional ssr app that compiles a few static pieces of content.
People like SBF, Holmes etc, fucked over other super rich and often way more powerful people. That's why they are being punished. If they did smth like screw up 5 milion normal citizens for a 1000$ each, they'd still have their billion dollar fraud, but no serious punishment for it.
What is it with proof assistant designers and terrible naming instincts? "Lean" as a name collides with all sorts of business/engineering productivity frameworks "Lean software development", "lean business management", "running a lean startup". And of course Coq is phallic both in English and the original French. It must be the case that the people that design these things live in a separate plane of existence where these things don't bother them.
If US adopts the same limits on credit card fees as EU, do you think mileage programs will go away? I really doubt it, since airlines will still make a lot of money from fees and fake perks.
How about an LLM talking to a semantic layer that then writes the SQL? I added experimental support for that in a project of mine, but using a semantic layer makes most querying so simple that natural language based approaches just seem kinda silly unless you have interface constraints (like on a mobile device).

Ok I see, but that doesn't strike me as different in kind, is it? I.e. bytes to 6-bit sequences for which there is a mapping table. Now you have a string of 6 symbol sequences. Then divide the string into 8 symbol sequences and map each to a character (again via mapping table). Ignoring padding rules, its two mappings, one followed by the other?
> that doesn't rely on counting chickens before they've hatched.

Its simple really. There are 2 problems, both need to be solved. We can't wait on 1 to be solved until we start addressing the other.

And EV now are way cleaner then ICE cars even in West Virgina. If you are in France, Switzerland or a country lie that, they are incredibly low carbon.

> spend on owning, maintaining, and operating my car.

Yes, society would do much better to invest in walking, biking and trains (of various kinds) then EV and to discourage car usage, EV or not.

This is pretty clear to anybody who has studied the issue. Housing and transportation cost combined are a huge part of avg peoples lives, well over 50% in many cases. Better land use and zoning policies, combined with proper transport policy can make this much, much better.

The US ironically has so many access road lanes that establishing a bike network is actually easy. In Switzerland most cities roads are very narrow so its much harder to add an extra mode in.

"We can't make it illegal to go around poisoning people until we've found new jobs for all the poisoners"?

More restrictions on road and car use shouldn't surprise anyone at this point, it's been coming down the pipe for years. At some point you have to make the status quo painful, because no-one's willing to change anything if they're not feeling the pain yet.
Or you make what the middle class spends money on. This is generally an easier path. Making something unique can make money, but generally it is safe to assume if nobody else is making it, it is because nobody wants it -not that you are the first with a new idea.

>> Is there some conspiracy to provide Covid aid?

But it's not Covid aid anymore. It was aid that was begun during Covid, and now that Covid is over, there's pressure from people (see elsewhere in this thread for example) to keep those programs in place.

In 2019 you couldn't have enacted those aid programs, in 2020 they were enacted, purportedly temporarily due to Covid, and now there is pressure to make them permanent.

That's no conspiracy, it's not a conspiracy when you say out loud in public what your strategy is. Politicians use a crisis to enact policies they couldn't otherwise enact. They admit this.

An example on the other end of the political spectrum would be the second US invasion of Iraq, after 9/11. Before 9/11, an invasion of Iraq with the goal of regime change would have been unthinkable. Iraq was completely unrelated to 9/11, but the crisis was used to enact policies that wouldn't have otherwise been possible. Again, this is no conspiracy, Donald Rumsfeld said it out loud, someone's notes of that meeting read "Need to move swiftly – Near term target needs – go massive – sweep it all up. Things related and not."

What I am saying is, keep this in mind the next time there is a crisis.

"Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program"

Not sure about leafs, but with teslas the batteries are only warrantied for 8 years and 150k miles. If you live somewhere with winters it probably diminishes a lot faster. With a gas car there are things you have to do around this mileage too e.g. timing belt and water pump but thats a fix thats an order of magnitude cheaper than an ev battery replacement.
Oh, it's definitely something that makes/made sense for them to do; just pointing out that not knowing one of many JPEG replacements doesn't mean you live under a rock.
Poppy Hill is very good and comparable with Wind Rises. Just because Earthsea was bad, people view him as someone who is not up to the task. It’s for sure fair to say he’s not a good writer like his father, but he has the ability to make great films.
As a qubes user myself, I don't think my mother would be able to perform the initial setup and segregation, not to mention endure the hurdles of copy/paste rules and filesharing across VMs. Oh sure, she could learn another set of copy paste keyboard shortcuts that will end up as another handwritten note on her list of keyboard shortcuts. Not to mention how frequently I'd get called due to slowness as she neglects to close the VMs. And say goodbye to remote support options unless she gives me SSH to dom0 but then why do any of this anyway at that point?
Comets do fall from time to time, and Earth collects 5000 tons of debri from space each year. So I imagine Earth does gain a few tons of water from time to time.
What you're describing though is a configuration variability which would be expressable by a static tagging regime - still simple.

If your configuration is getting more complex then that though, again, it's not really configuration anymore - it's a management application which needs to be developed and treated like that. And why it's that complicated should be re-evaluated - i.e. how come this is "configuration" and not something the application detects for itself? Why is it being surfaced to the user (operator) at all?
That makes sense, but my problems are in my own area, already downloaded.

Not true in the slightest. A server rendered app would deliver your html up front so your app is completely rendered immediately, this has been common for many years now and improves performance quite a bit. Couple with sending some static parts that avoid JS which is quite doable you have 90 some % of the benefit in a simpler model. That’s also why more direct a comparison of a SSR app to a RSC app is interesting.

Partial hydration is great but it’s a shame React is coupling it to a whole new routing model, component model, server rendering, and with such complex rules on use and inherent waterfalls as a side effect. There’s no reason to. You can get partial hydration any number of ways and avoid all the complexity.

Being able to block domains (without an extension) makes Kagi at least 30% better on its own. Maybe more. It's absolutely a killer feature and one that Google themselves used to have.
Search quality improves my life. Like actually I'm a happier searcher since Kagi and I search more frequently because I have increased confidence that I'll get meaningful results. I don't grumble like I used to every time I had to wade through a pool of SEO shit spam. But that's just me.

I would like to see a solar gravitational lens telescope built in space to look at distant exoplanets with the highest resolution possible.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_gravitational_lens

although last time I brought this up on HN someone explained to me it'd be very expensive, need to be huge, and it'd likely only point at one planet per lens, and the image would still be pretty blurry :(

> 2020, NASA physicist Slava Turyshev presented his idea of direct multi-pixel imaging and spectroscopy of an exoplanet with a solar gravitational lens mission. The lens could reconstruct the exoplanet image with ~25 km-scale surface resolution in 6 months of integration time, enough to see surface features and signs of habitability. His proposal was selected for the Phase III of the NIAC 2020 (NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts). Turyshev proposes to use realistic-sized solar sails (~16 vanes of 103 m2) to achieve the needed high velocity at perihelion (~150 km/sec), reaching 547 AU in 17 years.

OpenAI and ChatGPT Lawsuit List
it probably would help if you'd listen to a person from the world class hardware team in question who worked in exactly this world for years, spanning all the devices discussed. that person might have strongly insinuated the law of nature challenges constraining propagation of RF at widely varying frequencies as they are paired with the esthetics challenges from a different group, if you noticed.
Well, they shifted to the car before networks could handle that to be fair. Grade separated highways only appeared after widespread car ownership. We generally build capacity for what exists not what would be nice to have in the future, so if people want to see a world of transit investment maybe they should think about waiting for the bus that shows up twice an hour, which might put pressure to make that come once every 15 minutes, then even sooner, and eventually upgraded to a rail line.

Lead-free solder exists though. It works fine - particularly for plumbing where you don't have tin-whisker concerns.

The only problem I've ever had with it is (1) that it turns out Bunnings in Australia sells utterly atrocious flux (the good stuff is also non-toxic, potable compatible and made in USA - and it works perfectly) and (2) that people aren't aware enough of the problem (i.e. my parents house has lead solder all through the plumbing where my father didn't know there was a difference and extended it).

EDIT: For any Australians out there - this one - https://www.totaltools.com.au/154135-la-co-56g-soldering-flu... - buy this one. This is the one which works.
I was going to say something about MJPEG, but it looks like UVC supports H.264 for a decade already. I guess I was confused by the cheap USB 2.0 webcams, they mostly use MJPEG and yes it's utter trash.

Still, good webcams use USB 3.0 and no chroma subsampling, to avoid recompression and enable certain tricks. I hope the YUV 4:4:4 mode will be supported in this, for those who have the speed and want chromakeys/non-blurry reds.
> Some regulations limit prices or price increases, or create a more favorable environment for consumer price negotiation.

Even these regulations can increase prices, for example by driving market consolidation or reducing price transparency and increasing overhead as people devise convoluted workarounds.

Price controls also have a tendency to create shortages, causing the product to only be available via black markets that carry a risk premium (and so high prices).

> Some regulation may lead to negligible higher prices, so it bears asking not just is there an effect, but what is the magnitude of the effect. If minuscule, then we can ignore it.

A regulation setting a maximum price of a trillion dollars would have negligible negative impact because nobody would charge that much anyway, but it would also have negligible positive impact because nobody would charge that much anyway. You can obviously pass a regulation that does nothing and then it does nothing.

Customers prefer lower prices all else equal, so that's what they'll choose when all of the options are on the table. Prohibiting certain things only takes options away. If they weren't the lowest cost options to begin with then prices may not increase, but then you have to ask why anybody would have chosen that to begin with over the thing that costs less. If the thing you prohibit was the lowest cost option, prices go up.

Cool idea overall. Is this game based on any research? Wondering if this actually helps one get better at the skill of face-matching, instead of just memorizing these specific faces.

Yeah, exactly. I looked at Kagi last week (first time I had heard of it), when the $10/month plan was "only" 1,000 searches a month and "unlimited" was $25. While I think that I'll probably stay well within 1,000 searches, I'm also not sure, and it's just not something I want to have to worry about (it's ~33/day on average and I doubt I'll ever hit it, but still...)

One of the reasons I decided to skip Kagi for now.
Insurance and solar is a real issue.

If you put solar on roof, then insurance does not cover roof damage incase of hurricane.

Also with solar subsidies come the scams. Most people are skeptical of solar in Florida.

Florida is no longer a purple swing state. It is a solid red state with pockets of blue in major cities.

Florida has enough cheap land to power all of their day-time energy use from solar though.

I loved to see some small solar farms in Lakeland that locals built.

There is hope.

I am super into the international wine scene, and I have friends who are super into the international wine scene, and these friends are actually graduate students studying the Georgian language, and they spend significant time in Georgia. Georgian wine--I won't classify it as good or bad but rather--is concentrated, thick, and rich. If that's your flavor profile, go for it.

winemaking around the world has changed dramatically in over the last 40 years due to much more sophisticated university study and programs in winemaking. Much more control can now be exercised over the winemaking process to ensure the profile you want, on top of the essential nature of the terroir involved. I don't know how much Georgia is participating in this process or if it remains traditional.

Italian wine forty years ago was generally pretty horrible, and now it is my favorite. To me, it's not a matter of parochialism, just the flavor profile I like. That period of time generally represents the younger university educated children inheriting the vineyards from the "farmer" older generations.
