Why do commenters not see that what is visible & accessible & searchable on the internet is a reflection of what the internet is? That it is technically the transit and not the hosts or endpoints feels like a distinction that refuses to see the forest through the trees?

Is it just sloppy posting? Why do some commenters use such divisive & questionable divisions? What purpose is there to strict interpretation?

AFAIK ITAR applies to US Persons so that would be how the US is able to enforce that worldwide. A better example would be all the KYC and other laws surrounding the use of US currency.
First off, I appreciate the thoughtful write-up, under different circumstances this is the direction I’d probably be heading. However our web Frontend code is all currently in a large-ish (500 packages, 100 apps) monorepo and we’re actively pursuing breaking that up into a hybrid repo model, largely in the interest of true team autonomy. We want our code organization to better reflect our Eng org structure and to establish much stronger lines of ownership and responsibility. Obviously we see other compelling reasons to take this big step, but there’s also a lot of risk involved, particularly around dependency management and figuring out how to accomplish eventual UI consistency across our web apps, all of which will use a large number of shared libraries/components that will be broadly organized into a handful of repos (likely monorepos) representing domains and owned by different teams. The intent is for this evolution to culminate in a microfrontends architecture as a way to support collaboration across autonomous teams without the need for built-time coupling.
He said "markets are better for everything". So yes.
I can fix most issues by characterizing the issues to ChatGPT. I'll tell it what DALL-E's limitations are and why its prompts don't work and it (usually) "listens" and fixes things. It "knows" what a prompt is, so you could probably just tell it that it needs to be explicit with characters each time and it will be.

I've been just playing with it and generating silly images, I find working with the LLM to generate prompts is really entertaining and can go in directions I wouldn't. I can just ask for "software development memes", then "make some more but reminiscent of famous memes", and then maybe ask it to "create some images blending game development with cosmic horror", then "I like prompt #2, create some variants of that but in the style of Junji Ito" and on and on.
I dont have stats on hand but I promise you a relatively small proportion of goals are scored on keeper errors, even if you expand the category to "shouldn't be beaten from that angle" type stuff instead of an explicit error. I suspect you do not watch much soccer.
> NACS is CCS with Tesla's plug on the end

This description confuses me...

The DC+, DC-, and GND pins look to correspond. But NACS has 2 other pins. CCS1 has 4 other pins, and CCS2 has 6 other pins.

I assume there is some protocol on the other pins. A supercharger can read the car's VIN, for example. And some power/charge-state negotiation? Is all of this excluded from the NACS spec? Do CSS1 and NACS have compatible negotiation protocols?
Severance is basically marketing for future hires. You hope, as a company, you will be around in a few years and will be hiring again. If all the employees laid off during tough times get severance, then the company can say "even if we hit tough times, we have a track record of doing the right thing", which is attractive to future employees they are attempting to attract. Since the company is dead, their reputation doesn't matter.
Why embarrassing? I also do this on occasion. Sometimes I acknowledge the show isn't very good but I really like the actor or actress.

>the Canadian government had the wisdom and prescience to ban Clearview AI from operating in British Columbia, Alberta and Québec, to stop collecting and using information on Canadians

So the Canadian government doesn't mind them collecting and using information on Canadians if they live in Saskatchewan, the maritime provinces, or the territories? How strange. Are the people in those territories/provinces 2nd class citizens or something?

The fact that Nota comes with a default style (some kind of article style) already puts it in a completely different league than MDX. MDX is ready, willing, and able to use whatever React/Vue/etc framework you use, but that means it doesn't come with any opinions out of the box.

Nota feels to me like it could be plugged in to a static site generator. Except then you have to get the two to cooperate. Still, I think that's an achievable hope for someone a little more dedicated than I am.
> Go forces to think about every error.

Unless you just always return it up the chain without thinking about it like the bulk of the code I've encountered. No more thoughtful than "catch and reraise" or "just throw."

And like in Java, an NPE ain't getting caught by the error return of a function in Go either.
> I am worried that a lot of the drug-depression research is overlooking an important possibility: that the thing about ketamine/psilocybin/etc that is helping with depression is not some latent property of the molecule, but rather the actual transcendent experience of the trip.

Ketamine dosed at levels used in a lot of the original depression studies won’t result in anything resembling a “trip”. Many of the more responsible clinics will carefully administer IV ketamine infusions over 40 minute (IIRC) spans at levels that only result in a little dizziness.

The association between ketamine depression therapy and “tripping” is a more recent development, pushed partially by clinics and influencers seizing on the trend in the most dramatic way possible. Some of the clinics will now dose people with excessively high doses with the goal of inducing trips and overt experiences, even though this isn’t supported by the literature.

I’m actually growing concerned that the pop-culture obsession with tripping and the over zealousness of ketamine providers is going to result in regulatory crackdown on the whole process.

A few months ago I was discussing the topic with a psychiatrist friend. She had tried prescribing ketamine for several patients, optimistically. However, a number of them complained that it wasn’t enough because they weren’t having full on hallucinations like they had read about online or in books. Several of them also started trying to demand higher and very early refills, despite her explaining up front that she was only willing to follow the dosing protocols used in studies.

> If supporting paid model costs more than what they make from paid users, why would a company implement it?

But bnce the code is written to handle it then it's there for everyone to use (though yes, billing infrastructure does requires continual upkeep) - it could even be an internal garage/passion-project/hackathon thing. Companies like Twitter want to attact "the best", and people like that will want to build products that they themselves want to use - why stop them?

Plus there might be other intangible benefits to supporting power-users: it means the power-users will talk about how great something is, and you can't buy word-of-mouth influence like that.

> Me, you, and most of engineers are in extreme minority for our willingness to pay for stuff to avoid ads.

People said the same thing about paying-for-YouTube, and yet YouTube Premium is here to stay, and I'm glad that Google was willing to experiment with the concept, and it worked - but what about all the companies that aren't willing to at-least try to find out?
Ketamine treatment is something I've seriously considered for my depression. It's hard not to be lured in by all the miraculous claims by folks who have been down the same path and found relief. I've been through the rounds with traditional ADHD and depression treatment with side effects that rival the underlying symptoms and have tried a few different prescriptions. I'm just so tired. Doing simple things like paying your electric bill or getting out of bed when you don't have external demands shouldn't be so damn hard.
Probably, but since most charging will be at home, there will be a lot less total $ in play. Great gig if you can be on a route people travel long distances, but otherwise not much profit.
A drive of more than about 1000 miles might be nearly always unwise, but the average person drives 200+ miles in a day often enough that it is worth planning for. It's a valuable capability even if it's only needed twice a year.

Also note that, by your own numbers, a plug-in hybrid like the Prius Prime can do somewhere around 95% of trips without using any fuel. You can get nearly all the efficiency of an EV without paying the EV premium or sacrificing practicality.

It's almost certainly because of a disagreement over criticizing China. The Chinese government is extremely sensitive to what westerners would consider even mild criticism and reacts harshly and swiftly, and Apple's hands are tied because their supply chain is still deeply embedded there for years to come.
It's probably difficult to retrofit. CCS provides different wire harnesses in the vehicle for AC and DC power. NACS requires shared conductors for AC and DC power from the charge port to some point that can handle switching between them.

External adapters are simple and will be available, since you can have different adapters for AC and DC charging to avoid needing active switching.
Wasn't society supposed to collapse from Y2K too? The people doing this research need funding, and no one is going to give them funding unless, it's to make sure that this won't wipe out society.

If the grid collapses in any meaningful way because of a solar storm, we're all f'ed, try rebuilding the grid without a grid. Something tells me this won't happen.

I'm guessing what actually happens is a few breakers trip, the grid is out for a few days and we're back up and running a few days later.

> I have heard stories of people who “had one treatment and never smoked/put their elbows on the dinner table ever again.”

Social media selection bias at play. The real world results are very mixed, but usually don’t result in life changing benefits that you read about in selected stories.

There’s also an unhelpful bias toward purely positive stories on the internet. I had a friend get addicted (yes, addicted) to psychedelics who could not stop acquiring and dosing them on a weekly basis for years. It was a huge problem, but strangely when I mention this story people will rush to argue it, deny it, insist I’m lying, or try to downplay it with the old “psychological addiction isn’t physical addiction” gimmick.

Of course talent and effort matter and should be recognized, but the only reason we're talking about him is because of his success, in which good fortune played a significant role in that happening.
you are looking at the wrong stuff, box office revenues go to Motion Picture companies and Hollywood fat cats like harvey weinstein.

just look at labor data: it is not pretty. $28/hr mean pay in Hollywood! Much less in other areas.

There is a reason why successful actors prefer to become producers/directors: because it pays better to be your own boss, rather than be at a mercy of union. and you don't have to engage in high end prostituion and literally sell your ass to people like Weinstein and Epstein, just to get a role at a high profile movie.

Alternative explanation: ketamine isn’t better than placebo for treating depression when given to someone who’s under anesthesia. You have to be awake.

Similarly, I bet that if you gave psilocybin to someone under anesthesia, they wouldn’t get the same benefits as someone who took it while awake.
This stuff doesn’t require the CEO or CFO either. Receivership doesn’t even require the active participation of the board, so yes there’s some benefit of keeping existing executives around but that’s often offset by the costs of doing so.
As part of the vetting procedure, my government job (not dealing with highly classified material) asked my former employers if they knew any of my sexual fetishes.
Agreed. Police fiction is a good format.

You can vary it by focusing on a realistic procedural, or the mystery, or ditch the mystery and just focus on characters. And police shows vary a lot by country; shows from the US, the UK or Norway will be wildly different.
Is there a website/etc for employee hiring?
I am a materialist. I agree delusions are powerful mechanism against depression, but most of them, like religion, have awful side effects.
I think I still wish that battery-swapping was the main "refueling" method; I hear that battery swapping infrastructure is being built up in parts of Asia for small vehicles (like scooters and mopeds). I mean, theoretically, simply swapping out batteries--and just paying a fee to the batter swapper station--would work very efficiently (and quickly). Coordination problem maybe.
Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs) are often measured in amps rather than milliamps, and their values can vary significantly depending on the specifics of the geomagnetic storm and the electrical grid. During the 1989 geomagnetic storm that led to the collapse of the Hydro-Québec power system, GICs of hundreds of amperes were measured. While transformers are designed to handle thousands of amperes of alternating current, they are generally not designed to handle direct current like GICs, which can lead to transformer saturation and increased reactive power demand.

Now, let’s talk about resonances. The electric grid can have resonant frequencies due to the combination of inductive, capacitive, and resistive elements. Resonances can cause the system to magnify the effects of incoming disturbances, much like how a tuning fork resonates at its natural frequency. When a geomagnetic storm induces currents in the Earth, those currents generate a magnetic field that interacts with the magnetic fields of transformers and transmission lines. If the frequency of these geomagnetic disturbances happens to match or come close to a resonant frequency of the electrical grid, the amplitude of the induced currents can be significantly magnified.

To be specific, resonances can occur in multiple parts of the system:

1. Transformer windings have their own resonant frequencies, at which the impedance becomes high, leading to larger voltage across the windings for the same amount of GICs.

2. Long transmission lines can have characteristic impedances that interact with the impedances of transformers and other elements to create resonant circuits, thus amplifying the GICs in localized regions.

3. Harmonic resonances can occur when nonlinear elements like transformers generate harmonics that coincide with resonant frequencies in the grid, thereby magnifying the effective GICs.

So, even though individual transformers may be able to handle small DC currents without immediate failure, the presence of resonances and the cumulative effects across a large, interconnected grid make GICs a non-trivial concern.
The quote given isn't a strawman though, it's a perfectly valid summary of just a few points from the actual manifesto:

Techno-Optimists believe that societies, like sharks, grow or die.

We believe growth is progress – leading to vitality, expansion of life, increasing knowledge, higher well being.

We agree with Paul Collier when he says, “Economic growth is not a cure-all, but lack of growth is a kill-all.”

...

Our enemy is corruption, regulatory capture, monopolies, cartels.

https://a16z.com/the-techno-optimist-manifesto/

It's all in for unlimited growth, unlimited consumption, unlimited population, zero regulation, magic free market will fix things.

You can argue for or against that vision, but you can't claim that the above is not his manifesto.
Same way California auto standards impact auto standards across the entire country. California is the most populous state with a higher disposable income. At some point, creating a product specifically for 12% of the US population with money to spend while maintaining a separate product for the rest of the country becomes too much of an economic burden and the standard gets applied across the board instead.
Sure, and there goes any credibility they had.

Could have just stated the facts, not even written any of the "Why is the ozone hole so big?" section.

Had they presented facts from their space-borne instruments, analyzed said data honestly, no leading thoughts - would have been plenty; they'd have an interesting article and more importantly not lied (or seen to) to our faces.
No. The Canadian government can't do anything about this because Canada is a federation (like the US or Germany), and these laws ultimately fall into the domain of provincial commissions. As the article states, the federal government has no order-making power in this case.
Does HN have an archive of its flagged threads?
I've seen some pretty silly things on the HN front page that have stayed up for way longer than expected. But I've noticed multiple articles that criticize Andreessen's manifesto have been flagged to not be on the front page. Some of the criticism might certainly be meh, but it gives me vibes that folk are merely flagging because they're uncomfortable with the criticism.

So I'm curious -- is there an archive, or an API that would show how often a thread is flagged, deleted, or pulled from the front page?
Y2K supports the point that something should be done. The reason nothing terrible happened is because lots investment was made in remediating the issue.
Assuming such contributions are accepted in the first place, which is far from a given. It's not unusual for "polish" sorts of contributions to be refused by project maintainers for various reasons. It doesn't matter how much code I write or how much money I donate if the project has decided it doesn't care about the same things I do.

Of course I can technically always fork or start my own project, but that increases expenses by an order of magnitude, which I might not be able to afford.
Could you explain? What is the difference? I only had Ketamine once during surgery and I vividly remember the few hours after.

The price per kWh was dropping faster BEFORE mass market cars than after. It is not that we lacked the technology to build cheap batteries. It is that we lack the technology to scale them.

Tesla is ahead of the curve. Their aggressive efforts on supply chains and factories have reduced the cost of batteries for them relative to everyone else. But the end result is not a change in which technology will win. Instead it is a question of getting there a single digit number of years earlier.
There's sales tax for customers, income (and payroll) tax for employees, and then taxes on dividends, and then capital gains on stocks. Low-margin SMEs contribute proportionately very little tax compared to Google when we account for tax contribution this way.

The confusion comes from the finding that Clearview AI violated provincial privacy legislation (BC,AB,ON,QC) as well as federal privacy legislation (PIPEDA).
