That doesn't solve lack of lubrication to the transmission. Go read your owner's manual under the section regarding towing. There are almost always restrictions on maximum speed and distance with the drive wheels not lifted.

As the other commenter pointed out, there's a lot of hand-waiving going on by the kid who won the contest; it's like the farside comic where there's a giant "magic happens" in the middle of a board full of mathematic scribbling.

For example: running HVDC to the engine compartment (for the AC, power steering, and vacuum pump) from the spare tire well in a vehicle whose undercarriage isn't designed for it requires pretty substantial armoring.

The other problem: in-wheel motors are not new (Mistubishi sunk a LOT of R&D into it), and they haven't taken off for a reason.

They massively increase unsprung weight. Your average car wheel weighs maybe 30-40lb at most. He's probably doubling that. That means atrocious ride quality and traction issues, because the tire's going to be bouncing around like crazy due to the suspension not being designed to dampen that much weight.

The motor is also subject to all the vibration normally soaked by the suspension and vehicle frame. Trying to get an electric motor to withstand that sort of vibration is not a trivial problem.

This is just a bunch of hogwash from Dyson. The kid figured out that what they care about is a nice big fat PR grabber, and he gave them one.

The blog is about being a "Recovering Programmer", as in, someone who is trying to cast aside programming as an identity.

And I think all the advice has to be taken through that lens. Of course someone who is in the midst of their programming journey is going to say, "No, I want to do the advanced thing now. I'm advanced."

But if "being a programmer" is a disease one wishes to rid themselves of, then advanced programming is merely advanced disease. And that point is roughly when you start to be able to make the right call when asserting YAGNI, because then you can identify with more clarity when the code deserves to be heavy, load-bearing stuff, and when it needs to be more like "code as an asset" - simple loops and branches that help configure the heavy machinery.
How much in the project is really D&D-specific? In your estimation, how much would have to change and be reworked in order to support, for example, Pathfinder 2e? PF 2e-support was the first thing I was thinking I wanted in this, but I am also atypical in that I don't even have a group and I'm just scouting around for a place I could use if/when I make one.
For me this line of thinking doesn't make a lot of sense. The Google Play option will always exist as it is a prerequisite for widespread adoption on Android. Also arguably, you're safer on F-Droid due to the level of vetting on that platform; so providing Signal on it is a good endorsement for general user safety and privacy.

Either way, this isn't about only offering the application on Google Play or only on F-Droid; but providing the option for both. Non-tech savvy users will always pick the more familiar and easy option on average, Google Play.

in the end all of this is a strategy to protect the intention and benefit of Free Software. as a FOSS developer and user i don't care about the legal distinction but about the resulting effect.

as our understanding of the law improves and as the methods and strategies to take advantage of public code evolves, our strategies to defend against misuse must necessarily also evolve. for me the question is not, which interpretation is right, but which one works to convey and protect the intention of FOSS licenses.

the most important aspect in my eyes is that the intention has always been consistent and will not change, and that all changes in the explanation and interpretation are intended to uphold that intention.

> They are a brain addition machine

I like that metaphor. LLMs are masters of linguistic addition. They are literally made by adding up language gradients. They accumulate knowledge and insight through exposure to vast swaths of text, stitching together concepts and ideas into an ever-growing tapestry of understanding.

But whereas brains are isolated islands, unable to directly share their contents, language forms a collective reservoir that flows between minds. Words and ideas mix and mingle within this pool, combining into new formulations that reflect the present.

In this way, language displays an evolutionary dynamism that outpaces biological change. LLMs ride this wave, leveraging the emergent intelligence inherent in humanity's shared linguistic legacy. The wisdom accumulated over generations surpasses the capacity of any single mind. We stand upon the shoulders of giants, supported by the communal scaffolding of language and knowledge that previous generations erected. LLMs tap into this source, channeling and distilling the experience contained within our words.

tl;dr AI is riding the language exponential while we are distracted by models and brains, implementation details.
That's a very normal use if asserts - no point in a running but broken program if important programmer assumptions failed, and a coredump is more useful for debugging than an error message.

> than current costs of solar + LiFePo battery power

As far as I know there's no way yet to set that up at scale, meaning to be able to provide power to tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of homes (and more) based on power stored inside of batteries. All I've seen are some gimmicks set up/installed in some Western suburbia houses.
I am pretty sure we'll run into the problem of too much heat long before we need more power.

Reduced speed with degraded battery doesn't only happen for phones unfortunately. My Lenovo laptop is painfully slow when unplugged. I thought something is broken, but Lenovo told me it's because the battery is degraded. The consequences are similar as with phones: The battery can't be easily changed and the costs for letting it be changed by Lenovo are not worth it considering the age of the laptop. So I'll likely live with it until I'm annoyed enough to buy a new one.

Show HN: I built a load testing tool so you can develop load test in minutes
Hello HN,
I spent the last week building a k6 alternatives supporting Web APIs (fetch, localStorage, and more), TypeScript and ESNext. It enables performance engineer to just import client libraries and write a load test in minutes.

The repository includes an example load test of GoTrue (supabase's authentication server) using '@supabase/gotrue-js' npm package.

Like k6 tests, 'denoload' (that's the name of the tool) tests can scale to infinity (if virtual users are distributed across computing ressources).

Let me know what you think and if you have any questions. Thanks!

"it goes back to the Zionism of the late 19th century"

Which, in itself, was a reaction to other developments. Zionists argued that Jews needed their own homeland in order to be safe from pogroms and potential extermination at the hands of European nationalists; the Zionist idea, obscure and fringe at first, only gained traction with the increase of anti-Semitic attitudes after the Great War.

To a big degree, current existence of Israel is a strange echo of the vicious nationalisms of pre-WWII Europe.

I'm a developer, and I have way more power than the companies I work for.

I can switch companies and basically get same or higher pay. For the company that I leave, they have to invest in hiring and retrain some other developer, that won't be as productive as me in the first few months.

So basically, me switching jobs costs me nothing. For the company that loses me, and the company that gains me, they both have an associated cost.

Why do I have this power? Well, at least in Europe there is a huge shortage on software developers, so that puts us in a very strong position.

Don't wrongly assume that an employer is always in the stronger position.
The problem with all turbine electric generation is the 30% efficiency of steam turbines. You need to generate 3x the amount of heat, with nuclear you are converting matter into energy; it's boiling the planet.

Solar and wind is a loosing proposition (you put more hydrocarbons into making them than they will generate in their lifetime, and you don't get to pick when they generate), and it can't carry the losses of hydrocarbons.

Hydro is ok, but it's fully installed globally, and again it can never offset the collapse of civilization once hydrocarbons reach peak EROEI: coal peaked in the 70s, oil back in ~2010 and gas is peaking now.

Why, you can't enjoy the sparkle and it makes them vastly less useful the next time you want to Cook.
What hogwash. People crave security more than they do anything else and it's completely toxic.

Space travel can use infinite energy.

Fusion works underground where many renewables do not.

Infinite energy can be used for climate control of the whole planet.

Fusion plants can fuel megafactories even in war conditions.

Fusion can enable more energy expensive technologies like hydrogen batteries, to be trivially affordable.

I'm starting to find the Western malaise that has come around this decade, to be offensive.

I've been meaning to look into KaTex. Could you elaborate on why you switched away from it? KaTeX appears to support server-side rendering already, in the sense that it generates plain HTML.
Yeah, for grid energy applications in our lifetimes it's hard to see fusion beating a grid made up of solar, wind, lithium-ion and other battery chemistries, topped up with some chemical storage (eg hydrogen) for places with cold winters.

However, in the long term some kind of nuclear propulsion is the only realistic way to open up the outer solar system, and I'd prefer our descendents had a safer option than "nuclear pulse propulsion" - the physically plausible but very 1950s idea of pushing a spacecraft along with nuclear detonations...

> Problem arise when there is no boundary in how which languages need to be used. Sometimes the brain feels like a piece of furniture full of drawers. I speak 4 languages and understand well 6 but when my mexican speaking partner ask me something in spanish right after a teams meeting in english I sometimes answer to her in english because my brain didn't have time to close the english drawer and open the spanish one. Same when we are at dinner and me and my daughters speak in spanish although we're all french but talk about what happened that day, which happened in spanish. At lease that is how I visualize it.

Is that really a problem though? It's true that sometimes I can't find the right words in a certain language, but have the perfect words in another. But so what? I mean I know many people who only speak a single language that know exactly what they'd like to say, but can't quite find the right words. Is it really that different?

Personally I find the fact that two people can have a conversation in two separate languages and that they can understand each other great. I mean would it be better to both stick to the same language even if one of you has more trouble speaking it? What exactly is the advantage to that?

Anyway I might be reading too much into your post, but I often hear many similar worries of people when it comes to speaking multiple languages and think often they are overthinking it. You're likely to be stronger in some languages rather than others. You're also likely to be better and listening to some languages rather than speaking them. These factors will also change due to context (what language is spoken around you, whether you're tired, etc.). To me these aren't problems. These are just the limitations of our brains and it's all just fine.
Renewables have currently very difficult problems to solve with storage.

As far as I know the only sufficiently scalable energy storage method is pumped hydro. Storing enough energy to deal with the intermittency of renewables at the scale required involves essentially digging a very large number of very large reservoirs. This is a huge civil engineering undertaking with massive environmental issues of its own. I've not seen anyone in any government really talking about investing in that much storage.

Batteries do not seem to be realistic for the near and medium term (and also come with massive environmental problems), pumped air works where you have appropriate geology, everything else is essentially a meme.

Renewables are great as long as you ignore the storage problem, just as coal is great as long as you ignore the waste problem.
"trivially easy to build and there are hundreds of thousands of potential sites in the US alone."

Yeah, but plenty of people don't live in the US and their geography is much less suitable for pumped storage than the American (or Norwegian) one.

For example, Finland is very flat, so are the Baltic states and most of Poland. So is Bangladesh, which has three times as many people as all the above together, and a nascent industry that needs energy.

In Czechia, we have rolling hills that are suitable for some pumped storage, but we built up almost all the good locations. In one case, an entire top of a mountain was cut off in order to make a reservoir:

It began for me 15 years or so ago when backlights started to make high-pitched noises and 16:10 monitors started to become less common. It’s been rough since for various reasons, but brightness not going low enough isn't something I've experienced as a widespread issue. SRGB mode is pretty dim at 120 cd/m², so monitors usually are able to go at least that low, and typically much lower.
That’s a shame, I was waiting for this plan to be available in my country to get it.

Turbines can have higher efficiency at higher steam temperatures.

You have the night and the radiative heat transfer, so you are not boiling the planet.

Foundational models can work where so far „needs human intuition“ was the state of things. I can picture a time series model with large enough Training corpus being able to deal quite well with typical quirks of seasonalities, shocks, outliers, etc.

I fully agree regarding how things have been so far, but I’m excited to see practitioners try out models such as the one presented here — it might just work.
> You need to generate 3x the amount of heat, with nuclear you are converting matter into energy; it's boiling the planet.

This doesn’t make sense to me. Our problems with climate change is not caused by the heat output of the reactors we use. It is because the by-products of combustion increases our atmosphere’s capacity to trap energy from the big fusion reactor in the sky.

If we want such a surplus of energy, at this point it's pretty clear Fusion isn't the way to get it in even the medium term, and maybe even not remotely affordably in the long term. We've already sunk 4 or 5 Manhattan projects' worth of resources into Fusion with essentially nothing to show for it. How many more Manhattans is it going to take?

I'm not against pursuing some of the modern, safety first fission technologies. They may well have a place. Maybe Fusion will eventually become viable, but I think it's very clear now that our technological reach is way longer than our grasp. We poured way too many resources into it long before we actually had any reasonable chance of success. We'd be better off dropping the big super expensive projects that aren't going anywhere, and continue with the many smaller basic technology development projects until it becomes a lot clearer if any of those is going to pan out.
