Yes, consumer flexibility will be a huge part of the solution. You can already see this with power intensive industries operating when power is cheap (or even on surplus power) and reducing or even stopping their output when power is expensive. Obviously not all industries have this option, sometimes energy is only a small fraction of their expenses. But it is good to see at least this part of the market aspect of energy production and consumption operating as it should. Meanwhile I'm sitting pretty with 7.7 MWh net returned to the grid on my private installation.
I'm not sure this is what you mean but obviously in practice uncomputable problems don't differ from problems which are perfectly computable in theory but far too slow to be computed in practice.

I once signed up to attend an AWS event way in advance, and provided my email address and phone number when I signed up. Plus, I had chatted with our rep/salesperson about how I was attending this event.

Then, on the day of the event, I drove 5 hours to the conference hall, but when I arrive there, none of the staff know anything about an AWS event! there is some other event happening for high school teachers, and that's it. I double and triple check the AwS event website. It's still up, and still has the same location and date. I call our rep, who reaches out to some other people and eventually gets back to me and tells me the event was cancelled!

Why did nobody reached out to let me know, and why didn't they even take the website down! it was bizarre. I really had thought I was going insane.

I had brunch, and then drove back another 5 hours. At least I got reimbursed for the mileage!
That does not feel like a fair comparison to me. More like Putin and Russia.

Youtube is widely known to demonetise videos and outright kill established channels based upon spurious inputs / phase of moon / etc. The recent Russell Brand stuff easily springs to mind, as does abuse of the Content ID three strikes policy by bad actors.

If the creators need their income to be resilient to demonetisation, they're forced to use options outside the Youtube system. Sponsorships, etc.

"the passenger lists included sumo wrestlers, whom they estimated weighed an average of 120kg – far more than the 70kg average, the Yomiuri said."

Sheeeesh, an average of 70kg sounds low. But then again the average reported weight in the USA is 181 pounds, or 82kg, which ALSO seems low.

There are only a few hundred people at this level. Maybe like 200-300 people.
In some classes we were allowed to bring in our own formula sheets. We could write whatever we wanted on a single sheet of paper (both sides). So of course we condensed the entire course to fit on that with tiny writing. But after putting in all that effort to make this sheet, I rarely even looked at in during the test. I didn't need to -- the act of making it made it stick in my brain.

Show HN: I built a small app to let you see your contacts' battery level
Hi HN;

"Watts"App because the Watt is the SI unit of power. I built this to learn SwiftUI and then ported it to Android since the API was available there too.

The app does not poll your battery for its state, rather when the app is open, we are able to listen for changes to your battery level and update the server.

Thoughts? Thanks HN.
If majority of Palestinians support Hamas[1], it isn't that big of a stretch to say Palestinian should pay the price for Hamas' crime. If majority of Israel supports Likud then yeah it is not wrong to blame Israel's people for his action.

Same goes with Russia. I don't have any sympathy for them if Putin is popular and make decisions like Ukraine invasion.

The point of LVT is to punish you if you could sell for less. That is if you own a small house next to sky scrapers, if you would sell someone would snatch up your house, tear it down, and build another sky scrapper.

More like Afghanistan and the Taliban. Wanting the US out or Afghanistan didn’t mean you were a Taliban supporter, even if that was always going to be who stepped in to fill the vacuum.
The comment we are responding to:

> Sadly the people they confront in those european countries are significantly less armed than your average american.

Assuming that some reasonable percentage of "confrontations" occur outside the home, if you're being confronted while commuting to work, it's not always relevant that your wife owns a gun. It only matters whether you personally own & carry.

> Not sure your point.
> I guess I'm not sure what your point was.

I've honestly been doing a pretty solid job being intentional and respectful to all views here. I don't think it's much intellectual work to try to do the best you can at imagining some reasonable point that can be made with the "32%" statistic and acknowledging some of those likely "points" in your post. It would feel much less dismissive, and show that you at least tried to figure out some points that I might be making while maybe still asking for clarification or confirmation. It demonstrates intellectual honesty.
Then you need to buy two seats.
I gave it a few reviews.

I'm not sure that exercise is going to be very productive, though. A lot of time my feedback was "looks cool, but the hands / faces" look weird; except when the art style was more abstract, or the subject was landscapes where the generation errors were less blatant.

I don't think that feedback gives the AI something actionable. An AI trained on this feedback won't learn "I need to draw faces and hands better" (and anyway, we already knew that these were the areas to improve), it's going to learn "humans like it better when I do abstract styles and landscapes".

It is unlikely that there is Russian involvement in my opinion, I cannot make out a motive either. Israel is partially dependent on a relationship with Russia for various reasons as well. The relationship is complicated, with ups and downs, and at times difficult because of the closeness to the US and Russias closeness to Iran/Syria.

If Israel isn't careful, it can find itself in a proxy conflict. I think Russias involvement in Syria and Iran is viewed professionally and not personal as far as that makes sense and for that matter.

There are so many knee-jerk reactions and hot takes about the really simple idea that people should be assured the means to subsist. The two most entrenched and, dare I say, ridiculous ones being:

1. "No one will ever work anymore!"

Really? People do not care about material well-being, leisure goods or the feeling of usefulness? What does it say about our current labor market if, given a poverty line subsistence (!), the majority will choose to forego any superior value good? Maybe that we are forced to work, against our will? Where's freedom in that? If this is the case, we clearly have an economic efficiency problem here and now.

2. "Inflation will eat any gain, prices will skyrocket!"

First, if we consider inflation as "too much money printing", then paying for the subsistence allocation with a variety of cuts and taxes will not trigger inflation. Simple. As for price increases, well we already have something to counter these and it's called the market. As in the price increase signals to actual & would-be producers that there's money to be made by producing more potatoes, lodging, clothes, etc. This is textbook economics.

When there is talk of subsistence allocation (or UBI) too often common sense seems to be left at the door. Something reaaaally irks many people. I cannot help but think of it as irrational.

But I'm ready to be convinced otherwise!

edit: added invitation to discuss...
It is important to note, because it could happen anywhere. As people become desperate, then they are willing to cut education, allow pollution, sell organs. It is a cautionary tale.

""To tame the crisis, Milei has proposed not only privatizing science, but also closing the environment and health ministries, and abolishing the current public-health and education systems. The anti-establishment politician has even floated the idea of allowing people to sell their own organs for profit. On environmental issues, he is equally provocative, calling climate change "a socialist hoax," and saying that a company should be able to pollute a river as it sees fit. "From his perspective, any regulatory intervention by the state represents an attack against market freedom and, therefore, against individual freedom," says Maristella Svampa, a sociologist at the CONICET-funded Center for Documentation and Research of Left-Wing Culture in Buenos Aires.""
Hamas also has different wings, it's a political party, it's got a militant wing and it's got a charity wing as well.
The list of top ten solar pnel vendors / brands is one online search away, e.g. here:

https://solarpowernerd.com/top-solar-panel-manufacturers/

Buy from a "bankable" brand, and you are good to go. Bankable, as in bank are willing ot finance GWp sized utility projects using modules from those manufacturers. And as you see, those big ones are around for quite a while.

Sure, I have never seen an industry as plagued by shady people and practices as solar module importers in the EU (they literally smuggled them at scale sometimes to circumvent import tariffs and taxes), but the big mabufacturers are, and have to be, serious and reliable. Otherwise they'd be out of the GW scale project market, which is where they make their money and sales volumes.
This thread isn't talking about how to fix the errno problem generally. It's talking about the existence of a problem in the first place. Fixing it would be a whole different can of worms, and indeed, sisyphean sounds about right.

Show HN: Convert Your PDF File to Text with No Servers
I recently discovered that - incredibly - PDFs that are just full of images are not OCR’d automatically on macOS

If you have an image, the system-level “Live Text” feature will allow you to select and copy text. That’s really great. But if you have a PDF - you’re stuck.

That’s part 1 of this project. Page 2 was seeing that most? all? web sites that offer pdf - ocr conversions require you to completely trust them as you need to upload your file to their server. That seems… not great.

Part 3 was finding tesseract-wasm, an amazing project that I combined with the just as amazing pdf.js. That’s it! Thanks everyone

The problem with this rhetoric is that bad people have a strong incentives to let others think they have strong support. Unless you are living in the area and can talk to citizens directly, it's going to be damn hard to make any informed decision about that fact.

E.G:

In the link you cite, the numbers come from "the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research". Researching how reliable this source is is a huge and hard work I'm assuming most HN users have neither the resources nor the skill to do. Medias outlet and politicians from all sides have demonstrated little benevolence or competence so trusting them to do that is also a stretch.

Even in France, I'm distrusting statistics from INSEE (!) now because it's so hard to verify neutrality. Condemning people to death based on those information is unwise.

Even if the data is true, where does that lead you? American have elected Bush which lied about WMD and went to war with Irak against the vote of the UN, killing thousands of civilians.

Do Americans deserve to die?

In which case which people from which country would be absolved from that judgement?
I’m opposed to disclosure laws that would be prone to expose the income of individual people.

If Alice is the only SWEPR5 at a company, that proposal publishes her salary. If Bob is clearly the best SWEPR4, Cathy the middle, and Dave just barely got promoted to that level, their salaries are also individually published.

I don’t object to good faith ranges being required in job listings, but I oppose anything that would tend to publish an individual’s data that they should be able to keep private.

(That’s before even getting to the fact that salary is nowhere near the full compensation picture.)
Context is key - for that level, they're pretty bad numbers compared to the rest of big tech. Equivalent at Meta/Google/Amazon would be making vastly more. Microsoft usually punches well below its weight for compensation.
It is saying that the version being shipped is from 2023-Mar-20 and that there are vulnerabilities that have since been patched, which would allow a malicious server to DoS your client¹, cause a buffer overflow², or inject cookies³.

Though in fairness to MS two of those issues were only addressed in the latest version, released a week ago, despite them being raised in October last year some months before the release MS are currently using, and the other was addressed in the previous release about a month ago. I suspect a great many other places are sill not up-to-date on those given how many products bundle or otherwise depend upon libcurl (a quick check shows Debian have backported the updates into the version they have in the stable release, so at least some significant players are certainly doing better).

Also, there isn't evidence of any checking to see if MS are releasing stock cur/libcurl or if they have back-ported subsequent fixes like Debian do. Before a post with the sensational headline “shipping rotten software to billions of unsuspecting customers” I'd like to think that such cursory checks would be done and information about the results included in the post (especially if they came back in a way that looks negative for MS!).

Sometimes understanding the why of a particular asker helps provide a better answer.

If someone comes in to a shop and says “I’m building a bicycle, where do you keep your bananas?” I’d be inclined to ask why. If they told me they wanted softer handlebars, I’d tell them what a horrible idea that is.

From your article:

> Head pollster Khalil Shikaki, who has been surveying Palestinian public opinion for more than two decades, called it a “dramatic” shift, but said it also resembles previous swings toward Hamas during times of confrontation. Those all dissipated within three to six months as Hamas failed to deliver on promises of change.

Helsinki is around, judging from looking at a chart on a phone screen, 20-30% more expensive than Munich per kWh produced using solar.. And still, Helsinki still is cheaper by a factor of roughly 2 than the average spot market kWh prices in 2022.

Lots or reporting requirements only take effect once a firm reaches a certain size. This makes a lot of sense given that tiny firms (say less than 10 employees) may not have formalized wage scales, in-house administrative staff, and have a harder time amortizing compliance costs. So yes, there are disadvantages to consider.

It was the first time a system was developed that took note of how the hand moved ergonomically in order to create a natural way of writing (drawing) unnatural letters, and linking them together.

This system allows you to write cursive with exceptional flow and - if you wish - flair, rather than simply copying complicated shapes and then having that body memory inevitably degrade over the years.
