> You don't actually need your heat pump 24x7 even on those cold days, if you can run for 15 minutes one, 15 off that would make a big difference to the grid

That's already the case – the actual heat pump only runs intermittently, on demand. This happens quasi-randomly, so you automatically get some load balancing across a city.

The problem is that this is intra-day load balancing, which doesn't help one bit if there are several days of low supply (windless winter days).

It is pretty much impossible to prove this one way or another. I also believe it varies from person to person. I am personally way more productive using typed languages. However others claim the opposite. And we might all be right.

Show HN: Block distracting websites politely and lovingly
Hello, HN! The purpose of this extension is to:

* Block distracting a website with a blue screen when I open it mindlessly, akin to a drug addict.
* Allow me to unblock the website when it is safe to browse. For example, when I'm waiting for a CI build to complete.
* Block the website back after a certain timeout.
TL;DR: for collaboration, you want to share the cursors of the users. The naive way is naive. The less naive way is to use streaming (a.k.a. websockets in this case). Actually forget it, Ably has a product that does it for you.

Reads like marketing to me.
I heard this story on the radio today. They started off with references to fire flys and other creatures that generate light (I dunno the name for that phenomenon) the led into the main story that lots of mammal fur fluoresces under UV light. Not even close to being the same thing. Bad journalism.
A lot of rails devs I know have switched to ember.js [1], because it's also a framework based on conventions rather than having a million third-party plugins that break all the time.

Architecture-wise I really like the ember-data approach because it allows a lot of automations when it comes to left join/right joins of datasets, with an integrated mockup server etc.

But it's not as cool as the other ones I guess, because it just works too well enough!?

After breaking my Google Assistant with a custom ROM, I unintentionally found out that yes, there is a setting for the default assistant app in the settings. I don't know if any actual alternatives exist, but you can definitely change the default settings. My issue was that Google Assistant didn't realise that it was set as the default, and my attempts to launch it just brought up a prompt to configure it as the default assistant.

The Pixel launcher is deeply integrated with Google, so that doesn't support switching search providers I think. You can install any other launcher you want if you dislike searching through Google from the home screen.

Very cool, working on something similar here - https://mu.app - more of a super app. It's great to see such a positive response to an app store for web apps. There's definitely a need for evolution away from the current app store model, which is heavily taxed with 30% fees plus $100/year dev fees. I think we'll see more things like this appear in the near future.
Why is it on the belly then and not on the back? Countershading?
It's the same for me, but I have already filtered for installable. I guess this doesn't work on desktop, Safari 16.1?

You're right, but the current system is full of perverse incentives. Sure someone is looking for a cure to the cancer, but for every scientist/researcher there is a thousand cars each carrying a single person to work an office job they could've done from home, a hundred bitcoin mining rigs running off coal, a dozen private jets, etc.

Just look at the mean salary in US vs western EU, but compare healthcare, access to education, public transport. EU still has a very long way to go, but I think it's proof enough that "line go up" is very different from (even if correlated to) actual quality of life.

There will be an infection control concept for the congress itself, but that's not fully planned as of yet.

Many CCC spaces currently require proof of vaccination, daily testing and rigorous masking, and while Congress will likely be a less strict, you can expect similar rules nonetheless.

My laptop was once heated inside it's case, it was hard to touch it. I don't know how it didn't explode, it was so hot I decided to put it in THE FREEZER. I thought I'd leave it there for 5-6 minutes, but I fell asleep and forgot it THE ENTIRE NIGHT. 7-8 hours. In the morning I panicked as I remembered what I have done. It then had a black screen for a few minutes and I thought I was drowning in my stupidity, but later it worked like a charm. Conclusion - laptops are fine in the freezer.

This is what happens when performance reviews are tied to outages. I spent over five years at AWS, and even internally we treated the AWS status page as a running joke -- a bunch of us used an extension which just set the level of every outage to one higher than had been posted (i.e., green i/blue diamond was yellow, yellow was red).

The problem is, organisational leaders have performance reviews (and bonuses) tied to service health, and they'll avoid declaring outages to avoid looking bad.
Based on this excerpt:

> was apparently the only way that phone manufacturers like Samsung could implement Branch without violating their revenue share agreements (RSAs) with Google, which he understood to require that Google be the only “web-connected” search function pre-loaded onto a device.

I would assume that Google pays back some of the ad revenue it collects through search to Samsung.

I don't think Google will demand special permission to make them the default search provider, but they certainly won't pay you for it unless you sign a contract.
I thought Ember was a front end framework or am I missing something?
Confiscation of owed income tax - sure. But the earnings? That's draconian. It's not illegal to work for foreign companies, even in China.
I mean, that goes for a lot of big social events (wrt existing health conditions); immunocompromised people have always been at risk for that kinda stuff, even before COVID.

It feels a tad absurd to demand following what are arguably unnecessary extra regulations at this point (vaccines have been made widely available for the majority of the populace; Germany has a non-booster vaccination rate of 72%, about 6% above the usual 2/3rds you need for herd immunity to kick in; 62% has at least one booster[0] - these are rates somewhat consistent across most of Europe at that[1] and purely anecdotally speaking, C3 leans heavily European in attendance).

The insistence that masking up as a requirement is still necessary as if we're on the peak of COVID just strikes me as odd (and tends to not translate well outside online spaces anyway - good luck convincing people that masks are necessary when most of them took the vaccine the moment they could specifically so that life could get back to normal and they didn't need to mask up all the time; for most people, COVID as a pandemic ended when they got their vaccination). If you want to do it on your own terms, sure, nobody will stop you (in fact I think the world could learn a bit from the general tedency of masking up if they have a cold like they do in countries such as Japan out of general politeness) but to request events keep doing it for everyone is a bit silly. Following government regulations is the right call here.

When does an old iPhone become unsafe to use?
I am Rails dev, and I don't like the fact that Rails in every new version has to REINVENT ALL THE WHEELS, ALL THE TIME. That creates huge problems for Rails devs and stakeholders.

Rails is based on Ruby, which is backend language, and Rails should stay more on backend.

That means

- session management
- routing and controllers
- many API options (REST, json-rpc, ...) + JSON object exporters
- ORM, Mailing, etc
- server template renders (ViewCells are still not part of Rails)
- tasks, logging and other helpers

In the same way Rails adopted rake gem as default task runner, without re-inventing it as "ActiveCliTasks", they could have created standardised connector layer that will exchange objects between backend and frontend.

So no Stimulus, TurboLinks, HotWire and other stuff one HAS TO learn and re-learn between versions. Svelte, Vue and React should have been officially supported with thin connectors. Rails server render layer can easily be integrated in any existing frontend tech, as alternative to React server components insanity.

Also, there is no reason to have to have socket connection to pass HTML between server and client, good old RPC is just fine as 99% of big app scaling problems are Database problems, no need for another layers of complexity one has to ensure it works.

I think, in that way Rails could "shine" far into the future, using its strong points but adopting new frontend stuff on the way, not re-inventing it all the time.

Just to be clear, the establishment had to get rid of Agnew before getting rid of Nixon, so they dug up an old scandal to do so. They then installed one of their own, Ford. It's possible that Agnew never would have gotten the VP job in the first place had he not been fully compromised. (You see this mechanism time and again with politicians like Dennis Hastert and Joe Biden.)

Agnew, an unreliable source perhaps, claimed to have been threatened.

Well to be fair, it's pretty common in EU that you can't bankrupt your way out of taxes, mandatory insurance, fines and other government fees.

This especially bites you in the states with mandatory universal health insurance scheme. The payment is based on your income in a given month/year - e.g. 30%. If you can't pay, your problem... Then, since you're in debt, they are not paying for your treatment. And there is no way to get out-of-the-system private health insurance, it simply doesn't exist. Hospitals have to treat you but the full price of treatment is added to your debt, no discounts are possible. People from the US never realize there are dark parts of the universal healthcare systems too. At least you can bankrupt out of your hospital debt in the US.

This is the reason why people just don't start business here. As an employee you're "safe" - the employer deducts your insurance payment from your wage and that's it, you're not investing into anything, not planning any cashflow.

Leipzig has seen a massive boom in the past decade, especially in tech/start ups and real estate investment. So much so, in fact, that Leipzig (Connewitz) became popular for leftist protest, riot, and squatting. So having only a fraction of places to sleep anyway, I'm not sure Leipzig is cheaper, especially around Xmas (ie Thomaskirche being the place where Bach worked as kantor).
That might be your experience but not mine. I believe there is no right choice for everybody. So pick what works for you and move on.

You mean crippling 0.01% of users that want to run something except WebKit.

99.99% of users don’t care.

That’s why iPhone today is still the #1 mobile phone with highest loyalty and consumer satisfaction scores for over a decade.

You don’t become an industry changing leader and stay #1 by “crippling 100% of users”. It’s just what you think is crippling, others don’t care about.
> 1) is there a simple key destroy function?

Just rm the key file. TPM sealed secrets are never actually stored inside the TPM, they are just files with strong encrypted that only the TPM can decrypt. So deleting the key file removes your ability to recreate the key.

> 2) if somebody gains remote login access to the host with root, noting they can't exfiltrate the keys, can they subvert process chains to claim linkage to the ssh-agent process?

Possibly, yes.

Hospitals can't fill nursing positions. There's a big shortage atm. These services incentivize temps to fill the gap. It's in the hospitals interests to hire FT staff but they simply can't. They have to use staffing services or they'll have a bad time. The "just staff more on Friday nights" is a simplistic take. They would if they could. Every major hospital will have a traveler on any floor at anytime, don't make ShiftKey, Clipboard the bogeyman.
Generally, if there is a staffing shortage it’s because of a deeper issue (safety, pay, reputation, etc) temps are expensive and brought in by administrators kicking and screaming. Management will also perpetually mention how hard they are working to fill open positions but rely more on a “surprise “ pizza party on Fridays and Saturdays once there are enough grumblings and concern.

A $40 pizza party is about the worth of your safety. Anyone going into a hospital should be aware of these eternal games and runarounds. It’s not every hospital but it’s a lot of them. Hospitals are not focused on your well being but cash flow and they are run that way behind scenes.

Frankly, having an extra warm-body, even if not top quality but capable of basic nursing care might be helpful. I can see the administration now “we’ll Bill, floor 5 East is really building pressure we were pretty short last weekend and we gave them pizza but Rachelle says they are still pretty worked up, let’s do another pizza party and order a nurse for this weekend to placate them. We might need to consider a waffle party on Sunday if pizza isn’t enough. We predict next weekend will be calmer, historically.”

A really interesting article!

https://thegradient.pub/othello/

"How do these models achieve this kind of performance? Do they merely memorize training data and reread it out loud, or are they picking up the rules of English grammar and the syntax of C language? Are they building something like an internal world model—an understandable model of the process producing the sequences?

"From various philosophical [1] and mathematical [2] perspectives, some researchers argue that it is fundamentally impossible for models trained with guess-the-next-word to learn the “meanings'' of language and their performance is merely the result of memorizing “surface statistics”, i.e., a long list of correlations that do not reflect a causal model of the process generating the sequence. Without knowing if this is the case, it becomes difficult to align the model to human values and purge spurious correlations picked up by the model [3,4]. This issue is of practical concern since relying on spurious correlations may lead to problems on out-of-distribution data.

"The goal of our paper [5] is to explore this question in a carefully controlled setting. As we will discuss, we find interesting evidence that simple sequence prediction can lead to the formation of a world model. ..."
