Nah, man, CRTs, vinyl, and tube amps are just better. If you don't understand why you haven't really experienced them deeply. CRT televisions produce a richer, warmer picture, man!

Seriously though, I do so love hearing from soi-disant experts about how NES games are objectively better on the grotty, hand-me-down CRT TV they played them on than on today's crisp, high quality LCD or OLED displays. I know because I was there -- we would have given our left nut for that kind of picture sharpness back in the day. In fact I remember transitioning my computer display in the early 2000s from a quite good CRT to one of the earliest non-ghosty LED monitors -- and the increase in sharpness was a significant improvement, less eyestrain. Not to mention the CRT flicker -- annoying to me, possibly seizure-inducing to my sister -- that's largely gone now.

For a long time CRTs did have the advantage of better color reproduction, and they still have the advantage of lower latency. But compared to modern displays they have enough disadvantages that the talk of their objective superiority is mainly nostalgia and copium.

I am nostalgic for consoles hooked up to CRTs. I miss the NTSC color artifacts, the perturbations in the 60Hz hum caused by crosstalk from the CPU or video hardware, the beam racing coding techniques. But I also realize I am spoiled by being able to play all my favorite retro games on a razor-sharp 4K monitor.
Most citations can get off on technicalities but that involves missing work, appearing in court, mounting a defense, and the gamble of owing the fine + additional court costs if you lose, and they probably, literally, bank on the probability that most people just pay the fine. Speeding tickets can be thrown out if the radar wasn’t recently calibrated, just have to ask about it in court. Window tint is the same deal, when was it last calibrated and documented to be within spec? Etc.
Love ordering stuff from a website with no company information, no address, empty Support page. Totally not a scam.
I think that may be due to pressure from their automotive industry, who for whatever reason are very resistant to making battery electric cars.
For that reason I don't want passkey. Password and regular 2fa/totp are fine... when setting 2fa I put it on my phone and my computer and another password vault on rpi... granted, everything still in same location but still somewhat better. I'm not really sold on esim neither - regular sims let you pop and swap them easily... why complicate it?
Thanks for the nice reply.

Sometimes it is not that easy to just ignore what is going and pretend the world is at peace. I find myself taking a stance unconsciously..

Tokyo’s transit system (or any other characteristic of the city people here so often praise) doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

The US cannot reproduce it. And no, the reason has nothing to do with cars which people here so love to blame.

Even if a US city were to successfully reproduce all the hardware parts of the Tokyo train system, it would quickly devolve into something like the NYC subway with all its problems.
Even in the US it is mostly a solved problem for Tesla owners. There are a few places that are consistently problematic (eg, Las Vegas), but there are new stalls planned there to help.

Several companies are in the early stages of national DCFC rollouts. It will get better quickly in a lot of places.
One can both be for equality and recognize this mandate sets the stage for flagrant corruption.

If there were a mandate to invest in companies with founders who had certain attributes, it would be the most literal possible tokenization of those people, as their companies would be traded among investors as compliance credits. Let me be the first to set up a superpac hedge fund that runs a secondary over the counter market for these shares that takes institutional money in VC firms and puts it into an opaque portfolio of these companies in exchange for a compliance blessing. It's so brilliant, the only real problem I have is what to name the polycule.

Given the investors need exposure to them for their portfolio compliance, it creates the incentive within the company to actually do nothing from a growth and product perspective, and just loot whatever investment money investors were trying to throw at them to achieve their own mandates.

Not only would it reinforce prejudices against people with said attributes because they have been set up to fail and actively rewarded for being corrupt with the investor money, it creates a layer of politically controlled front companies who effectively tax venture portfolios without any accountability for where the money goes. The data is all you need to create a de-facto private tax system with a political party as the beneficiary. This scheme has nothing to do with diversity.

An example of what I mean with prompt engineering becoming less relevant as models get better is quoted at [0]:

They do not.
Is there any evidence that Google needs to mess with authentication flows? My mental model of the median Google account holder is that they have a bunch of photos/emails/docs/etc that are extremely valuable to them and their family, but of little value to criminals. With a dynamic like that, the security only has to be so high to deter random hackers and making it too difficult or confusing will ruin a lot of valid accounts and do much more harm than the criminals would have.

There are reasons to be skeptical of Google's motives here given their history of wanting to create user lock-in in various ways, and caring more about shiny new tech than general user experience.
I was going to complain about the naming, but I see it’s a semi so I guess naming doesn’t matter. Though it would be nice if you could tell from the name that it was a semi.

How does that work if you can register multiple different keys using different devices from different vendors on an account?

Edit: I took the last sentence out, it was childish on my part.
"Existing gaslines" won't work because hydrogen leaks. It's literally the smallest molecule in the universe. Very different from natural gas.

Also you need around 55kWh of electricity to get 11kWh of power out of a Toyota Mirai's wheels to the ground. It'd be more efficient just to send that 55kWh to a waiting plugged in EV using existing power lines.

As for "slow charge", you're behind on tech. The current Hyundai/Kia platform supports 800V charging, meaning it can take in power at 350kW. It'll take under 10 minutes to fill it from 0 to ~80%.
Thanks for responding. That's good insight
This or something similar would be my ideal RV. Cover the top with solar panels and you could park indefinitely. To top up for trips, many RV facilities have 220v power for charging and I could afford to wait. For boondocking, do it "Martian" style and have a stack of folded panels ready to deploy.
Absolutely insane. When will it be enough?
The major problem with passkeys is that first they were poorly designed so there's no portability or ability to enroll an offline (or worse, physically unavailable, like stored in a safe) authenticator, then there's this kludge to work around the limitation.

It was obvious from day 0 (to anyone except for Apple and Microsoft) that people do have multiple devices and not all of them are from a single vendor. My only explanation is that they deliberately decided to ignore this aspect, because it wasn't in corporate interests.

They made it significantly easier to lose all the passkeys, because they made it very hard to add multiple passkeys (you literally have to walk/run/drive/fly and grab every different device you have, get it online and register - or get properly locked in with a single vendor and pray they work for you, forever).

Carrying a Yubikey does not work (you can lose it). iCloud/Windows Hello does not work (you can be on a non-Apple/Microsoft device). 1Password is better but still does not really work (you can lose access to your account). They're all SPOFs, and avoiding SPOF was deliberately made hard (you can't easily enroll a "backup" Yubikey that you don't have at hand, and if you have it at hand it's not a backup anymore).

Heck, "official" demo at passkeys.io doesn't even bother to showcase how multiple passkeys are going to be a thing at all, which is an obvious red flag.

That is, not to mention that a growing number of vendors contributed to the crappiness by limiting what kind of authenticators and which platforms one can use (BestBuy, PayPal and so on), contributing to decreased security and increased headaches.
That's probably only the 'primary' real risk, there are some number of secondary real risks of hydrogen being a very reactive chemical. Not in the flammable boom boom, but the interacting with stuff it shouldn't and causing degradation and corrosion.
While I agree in principle, slow loris is a very different attack than this one.

> They will definitely care collectively as the roads deteriorate faster and they have to pay more in tax dollars and wasted time spent in construction to repair them, but that will end up being a tragedy of the commons

The difference in wear between a 3600 pound RAV4 and a 4400 pound Model Y is so minor that it'll disappear in the noise. Nobody will notice. The only time it'll even come close to mattering is on residential streets that never see any commercial trucks. And even then, nobody cares now about the 6500 pound HD pickups that are so popular, so I can't see why that would suddenly become an issue.
Depends on the proportion of women in the hiring pool you're drawing from. If you have 5 employees and your hiring pool is 80% men, then in an entirely unbiased world, you'd still expect a third of 5-employee startups to have no women.
The fdp, a small german party part of government, that holds the traffic ministry, managed to block an EU-wide phase-out of ICE vehicles to promote e-fuels. Whats e-fuels you ask? Its even more ridiculous than hydrogen cars - using renewable energy to synthesize fossil fuels. The beauty is that this makes ICE vehicles supposedly green, so then you can just keep selling them forever. And at some point down the line u just kill the e-fuel requirement.
To be fair to that cop I think you were too. Did you try solving the problem for yourself first?
It's a 1 hour old troll account that has already been banned.
I wrote an arbitrage bot and gave it $100 ... then promptly forgot about it. Several years later, when I stumbled across it, still faithfully running on my server, it had nearly 11 million worth of coins. I opened the project and had it start shuffling everything off to bitcoin, slowly, over days/weeks to bitcoin. I was going to just cash out.

Well, it turns out that when I originally wrote the code, time was calculated in milliseconds, not seconds. So, when I thought I calculated out 17 days, it was like half an hour-ish. It caused a small crash trying to dump everything almost all at once, on some of the alt-coin markets, and lost almost all the money.

I walked away with ~$700.

I was literally in tears, as I went from so excited and I'm going to "just retire" ... to just as broke as I was an hour prior. The emotional roller-coaster of euphoria, to 'oh shit, what did I do!?', to 'well ... fuck' was not fun.

Anyway, good luck. There might be a lesson in there, but mostly, be careful where the intersection of money and programming lie.

That rules out widespread use of hydrogen, then. Hydrogen filling stations need to periodically recompress their hydrogen. Which is never a problem because current hydrogen stations are virtually always idle. However, if they were continuously busy, you'd have to wait.
Your comment contains no substance. You are just pushing a conspiracy theory.

Hydrogen based fuels make sense on multiple fronts: long term storage (batteries cannot do this), scale (adding more tanks is cheaper than whole battery packs) and energy/power densities are still above what the best batteries can provide.

Which hardware keys are you using? And have you found any difficulty in adding multiple keys to a web site?
Incredible. Just because the US tried to wipe them off the face of the earth over 20 years from 1955 - 1975 and now this? No good deed goes unpunished. (i'll probably get heavily down voted for my sarcasm - couldn't help it though).
Nothing has changed! Just 2 more years of experience. I still agree with all of it.
Your explanation was just fine. I was simply asking what else you knew about the technique. Perhaps where you first heard of it or some examples where it has been applied/benchmarked.
Yes, and we don't have much diversity of thought. There is another story on the frontpage now - preaching the benefits of technological conformism by saying everyone should use the popular and boring technology of the day.

Generally, the whole profession is degrading to a state where any kind of innovation is shunned upon and the only "innovation" is rehashing the same concepts in a slightly different and slightly more complicated way.

There are not too many "let's build a website in D" companies or anything which is not utterly boring, inoffensive, bland and lacking any creativity.
I wasn’t aware of shoelace, I’ll take a look!

Would be a lot cheaper and more permanent to just have other modes of transportation.
For boats, fuel cells can make sense. But air travel not only requires a high energy density but also a high power density, and here the fuel cells are relatively weak even by car standards. The alternative is to burn hydrogen, which introduces an inefficiency that eats up most of your advantage. For a car, you can have a small auxiliary battery, but a jet engine will run at max power for several minutes continuously during take-off, and for existing jet engines the power-to-weight ratio is considered a crucial figure of merit.

For hydrogen storage, the DoE targets are truly sobering [1]. That whittles down hydrogen from roughly 100 times as dense as batteries to about 5. Throw a 50% thermodynamic efficiency (jet engines are not efficient!) on top of that and hydrogen still has an advantage, but it lags quite badly behind jet fuel. There have been four decades of intensive government-sponsored research effort into hydrogen storage materials, but all existing systems in practical use rely on fiber-composite tanks at 700 bar.

You get better results with an ammonia-burning jet engine. Here the tank weight is negligible and the hydrogen storage density is effectively 15% (after correcting for the enthalpy of formation). But ammonia still has just half the energy density of jet fuel, and it's rather unpleasant to work with. Plus, the existing production process of ammonia faces its own serious inefficiencies, and extensive investigation of more efficient ammonia production has been painstaking with only one Japanese startup [3] that is behind its timeline (probably a little COVID-influenced) and other contenders at lab stage.

With the direct ammonia fuel cell, the power density issue is even worse, but the energy density is very good. This technology competes well with fossil fuels for weight-sensitive applications that do not require high power (DARPA has been interested in a DAFC drone). But ammonia fuel cells are mostly at lab stage, partially because ammonia production remains disappointing (despite a theoretical energy cost of zero) despite considerable research effort.

> And that's because, despite all of its training data, it's not capable of actually reasoning.

Your conclusion doesn't follow from your premise.

None of these models are trained to do their best on any kind of test. They're just trained to predict the next word. The fact that they do well at all on tests they haven't seen is miraculous, and demonstrates something very akin to reasoning. Imagine how they might do if you actually trained them or something like them to do well on tests, using something like RL.

As a game dev I'm OK with having to set up a mac to do initial testing of my port and make sure it works, but I'm not OK with having to do that again every time Apple makes breaking changes to their APIs and threatens to pull my game off the app store unless I port and rebuild. I don't have to do that on Windows or Linux (or on game consoles).
Perhaps I am missing something, but this magic entity you seek to form — why would it be a superPAC? What utility would that bring you in this circumstance?

That makes no sense. You don't just hire people out of the whole general population, you hire people with skills you need. If a tech startup hires engineers those will be mostly male. Not because the startup is sexist, but because there are more male engineers around.
Water is a greenhouse gas as is the methane infrastructure that will be used to create the hydrogen. I don't say this disparagingly, but an ignorant populace will fall for it, and that includes Congress.

As a physician probably my single most feared infection is a MRSA (or any Staph.) bloodstream infection. It’s a sticky bacterium that likes to destroy heart valves and joints.

It's because batteries are expensive to produce, maintain, and are not as environmentally friendly as going from solar directly to hydrogen via electrolysis. There's more parity for existing fossil fuel engine use cases with hydrogen as well.
I think oil+gas companies are currently just waiting for the right moment to deploy it.

Blue hydrogen only makes sense with global carbon caps, taxes or quotas. And it only makes sense if CO2 injected underground doesn't count towards that cap/tax/quota.

So far, there is no political appetite for global taxes/caps/quotas, so blue hydrogen is only at pilot-plant scale.

In many Japanese cities you won't get a permit to buy a car unless you can prove you have a place to park it. Curbside parking isn't a thing.

So in those cases it really is irrelevant whether you can charge or not =)
While you might have a point, it seems that the bill only applies to the founding team anyway. And it's not just about race and gender, but also sexual orientation. So when you're raising investment, you need to disclose your sexual orientation to your investors. I'm sure you'll be able to "decline to say," but what kind of perverse (no pun intended) incentives will this create? Will you get more investment if you say you're gay? Will you need to prove it?
Implicit quotas are preferable; if it really matters someone can ignore them. People try strategies of "we'll force the situation to be broken and then they'll have to fix it!" every so often in politics. It often doesn't work with terrible consequences. People lack the imagination to look at a bad situation and easily come to a consensus about how to improve it.

It is much better to enforce things by social expectation. Then enforcement measures can be changed piecemeal.

If I chop the muffler off my car and run around revving the hell out of my engine I’m not going to say I was targeted or profiled after I’m pulled over in the vehicle that’s calling out to nearby police to take notice of me, regardless of what I’m ticketed for in the end. The squeaky wheel gets the grease as they say. You don’t want to be “targeted” or “profiled” (which isn’t what that would be anyway), then you need to blend.
If it's a 4k TV it also has more pixels and better refresh rate. And color. But for that extra $2360 you get the feature that your image is still there when the power is off. I expect that feature would be substantially more costly regardless of the patent holder's extra.
>This means that the government cannot add taxes on electricity used in vehicles, as it does with gas.

You don't think you'll be paying a significant electricity tax once ICE cars are fully phased out?

Also, I don't know what you drive but my diesel has quite a bit more range than 350 km. Yours must be quite the guzzler.
My view on hydrogen is that we will look at it like pressurized air in the 1900’s.
Some industrial applications exists but its not the silver bullet many articles are talking about. It is inefficient and we shouldn’t spend many ressources on it.
However, I am happy some people experiment with it, we may discover an innovative application that may be a true breakthrough. But I won’t bet on it.
It is a problem, because there's limited capacity to move electricity between the systems. You can just plug them together, they have essentially two separate grids.
