Interesting approach. Can you configure a low enough (try-again-in-X-seconds) value? Are you not worried that legitimate emails get dropped here? I imagine transactional emails to not try and resend later?
The better question is why do they think more efficiency will lead to lower use rather than higher consumption? I know, if the price stays the same per unit of energy and i stop spendjng so much because of efficiency gains, i have a ton of other stuff i would love to do that consumes energy so my decrease in usage would be tiny. What will decrease my usage is price increases, which can only go so far as taxes to capture proposed externalities before i revolt and elect someone who will axe the tax (as is about to happen in canada).
That seems excessive to me. I use my cast iron every day, clean it off with steel wool, and just throw a little oil on there. No fancy prep, and it cleans up with less effort than 2 year old no longer non-stick pans
That was a good read and a stimulating argument. And it's true, but just don't go believing that it's ever been different, or ever will be. And it's not the end of the world.

First comment: I think the South Park clip was great - they get it. It's ironic. The Scotch's are really living such a terrible imprisoned life. BUT - it demeans and is totally ignorant of how bad the coal miner's had it if you start taking it too seriously. And if you think they had it bad, what about the Irish? And so on. That's why they used that song to such great ironic effect - a heavily automated Amazon warehouse is clearly not a 19th century coal mine.

I think the reason so many of the listed big names in software are still willing to create is that they aren't foolish or naive. They know that if you make something good, someone will always come along and do bad stuff with it. The problem is with the people who do bad stuff, not with the people doing the creating. Making, creating, advancing something is always a positive action in the universe. Not everybody or everything is bad. You also have to account for how the things positively effect people and realize that good people will also come along and do good stuff.

You can certainly choose to boycott a company you don't like or even a whole industry, but that's an extreme position. It begins to sound almost like the unabomber manifesto.

I suggest that everyone try to be excellent and be your best self, go work, create, and live life. If your real talent is software, then do that and do it well. To not do that is robbing society, and yourself, which is a worse crime than the potential of contributing to system that does have issues.

I tried JQ and other command line tools, all were extremely slow and seemed to always parse the entire file.

My parser just reads the file byte by byte until it finds the target, then outputs the content. When that's done it stops reading the file, meaning that it can be extremely fast when the targeted information is at the beginning of the JSON file.
It’s not a timer function but a sensor that detects signals the rices is done.

Depending on environmental conditions (temperature, etc) and amount being cooked, will vary but the results are repeatable quality rice, rather than a fixed cook time and variable quantity rice.

More expensive but better quality rice.

[...] We can see this when we look at other estimates of energy demand from the literature. The National Grid FES projects that Britain will need just 900 TWh in 2050. [...] Total final energy demand today is 1599 TWh.

It's right under the first main heading. Just above and below the first picture. Searching for 900 in the post took me right to it. I have no idea how you missed it.

Holy hell, this thing gets accessibility right.

This is probably the first niche GUI toolkit I've seen on HN that actually does this well. I tried with VO on Mac OS and it just works, no issues to be reported. Most other frameworks of this size have absolutely no accessibility at all. This is why using the platform is a good idea.
Seems like spam was a much bigger problem before SPF/dkim/dmarc when you didn't have to put your own domain on the line in order to send spam. I bet authentication methods have more to do with the drop off in spam than filters do, though better filters surely helps. It seems much harder to spoof email now, and if you start blasting spam from a new domain it is just going to get dropped or blacklisted anyway.

It does majorly suck for new domains wanting to send legit email in-house though.

IP, TCP, and QUIC are all IETF standards & in use here. The base of the pyramid, governing the internet as a whole, says the Internet is for end users. That doesn't seem in the slightest bit hard to see.

It's unclear that websites would be more secure by virtue of having a Google or Microsoft or Apple attested OS. What examples have we seen of users running their own OS contributing to a web host's security issues? Got anything? Probably not! WEI has always been of dubious use.

Your original claim that extensions needed to be blocked was an explicit anti-goal of web. Users obviously have a right to extensions, which allows for accessibility affordances, for example.

> I haven't used it I was just curious because the JVM is a mature (and parallel) garbage collector.

Slightly pedantic, but the JVM is a bit more than its arbage collectors[^1]. But it is true that the JVM has been the experimentation bed of garbage collection, not because academics have been specially daring with the JVM, but because JVM programs have been used extensively, and often so in ways that strain any single GC technique.

[^1]: https://www.baeldung.com/jvm-garbage-collectors. The Azul JVM also has its own, different one. And those are the ones I know of; I'm pretty sure I'm leaving quite a few out.
I haven't read the book, but my impression from reading this Blog post is very poor.

He seems to have written a book dismissing renewables by assuming fixed technology/costs from 2008 for projection into the future (if everybody did this companies would not invest in anything). On top of that he even hand waved the rest away by saying their installations would not be accepted by the public. That seems to me that he was set out to dismiss solar and wind and just looked for numbers to confirm this.

Generally I believe if you want to show the feasibility of a technology you should be conservative in your estimates, and if you want to dismiss it you should be optimistic in your estimates. Ideally you show both conservative and optimistic projections.
This is a misunderstanding. To give an example. A perfect 1.e4 player needs a response to every possible move including 1.. f6. But he doesn't need to know how to respond to 1. d4 d5 because he avoids ever ending up in that position.

It’s funny, if you are into 3d printing a huge safety thing is not heating your hot end above 250c if you have a bowden tube - made of PTFE.

Over 250C is the breakdown point, which seems like a stove would hit pretty easily.
I've been cooking regularly (3-5/wk) for 15 years and I hate making rice on the stovetop. Maybe I'm just secretly a terrible cook, but at best my success rate with stovetop rice is 50%. The other half the time it's either under or overcooked, and once I've opened the lid to evaluate I've never been able to "fix" it. Maybe all my stovetops have somehow been more irregular than yours.

Thus, I've used rice cookers for most of those 15 years. The $15 no-name brand works great! Never under or over-cooks the rice! I have the Zojirushi Fuzzy now, and I love it. I find its rice slightly better than the bargain-bin rice cooker made, and I'm spoiled to it now.

Generally I'm also somewhat dismissive of one-use appliances. But for me, a rice cooker is a must-have if I'm making rice with any regularity. It takes up maybe a cubic foot of space, stores really easily when it's not being used, and is pretty easy to use and clean. I wish all my small appliances were so convenient (where do people store such tall blenders?!).
The law says the bank must give them their money. But banks are above the law. I know when PaPal codes and account, PayPal usually steals the money. Most traditional banks eventually give you your money if you hire a lawyer, that is, they give the money to the lawyer who keeps it.
Vram is dependent mostly on the parameter count, not on the number of input/output tokens, if I remember correctly.

Also, in case of english language, it's one token per one word (more or less), so it's the same as in Chinese - assuming both LLM tokenisers were geared towards their native language.

The only issue is when you have an tokeniser geared towards western languages, and you try to to use the same tokeniser on a different group of languages - then a single word in a language foreign to the tokeniser would have multiple tokens.

But that has nothing to do with the underlying structure of the language.

In other words - you wouldn't really see a difference between an input in chinese compared to english after the text gets tokenised. It's rougly the same amount of tokens, and the underlying parameter count would be also similar.

> I wish it was possible to buy decent home cooked food for a reasonable fee :(

I mean that’s pretty much what supermarkets sell right? Ready meals that can be heated, which are effectively cooked the same way as at the home but just on an industrial scale. Or pasta that’s pre-made and pre-filled and you just have to heat and add some sauce that’s already pre-made.

Im in the UK where we have services like Cook that are good quality meals you can heat up.
I’m assuming this is one of those enamel/ceramic non-stick pans. I’ve used a number of these over the years. They’re great for “non-stick that isn’t teflon” (I have a bird, so that is useful to me), but they do degrade very fast if you’re not extremely careful, and even if you are careful they still usually only last a short while before becoming significantly less non-stick. I’d recommend saving them for eggs and other very sticky foods, and using cast iron or stainless or carbon steel for everything else.
Your last sentence is hinting on something that actually has more bearing on technology effecting language: HTML. When I was first learning HTML & CSS it irked me to have to spell "colour" wrong to get things working. Now I just use the US American spelling everywhere (it helps that I'm currently in the US).
Tramontina are really good value in stainless pans imo

>Well I'm sold. How did humanity survive without such a life changing invention?

>But seriously. What are the things that you couldn't do before that you've suddenly discovered that you can't live without?

This is a bad faith logical fallacy, namely an Appeal to Extremes amongst other ones. "This provides value" is not remotely synonymous with "can't live without". "Humanity survived" without antibiotics, vaccines, electricity in general, houses, or Hacker News. That does not necessarily mean we were better off without them or that it's wrong to choose to spend some energy budget on them so long as externalities are accounted for.

I explained how I found it very valuable, albeit without getting into things like slip risk on ice or leaves, increasing numbers of ticks and disease risk from them, difficulties as one gets older etc. How about you explain why electric blowers powered by my solar panels are a bad thing?

Finding interests seems to be the common issue. Some people "retire" with a ton of interests and wonder where they ever found the time for their previous job. Others not so much. But you do mention a few interests:

- scale-up

- coffee shop or maker space [etc] hanging out with my customers

- more freedom and more ability to make a difference [for a little while at a time]

- rewarding purpose

You could dig in that direction: identify what's underdone or missing in your field or city or tribe and put some energy into that. Don't worry about "buying yourself a job": as part of the scale-up, install an on-the-ground manager there - since after all it won't matter too much if you are paying yourself or making a profit.

There is one thing you don't mention and that's paying attention to your investments. This is where your living and retirement and (now expensive) hobby money all come from - and so that should actually occupy a decent fraction of your time...

Now that many if not most clocks are automatically time synced, my proposal is this:

from January through June, on the first Sunday of every month, move forward ten minutes at 2 AM (local time). From July through December, move back ten minutes at 2 AM on the first Sunday.

This avoids the annoyance of a full hour adjustment all at once (no one is going to get too upset if you are accidentally ten minutes late), your sleep patterns are much less disrupted, and it more closely matches what is actually happening in the sky.
> Everybody says you need to wear black.

That is false.

Look, if you just made it for everybody, it would no longer be a club with an underground image. Berghain is a tourist magnet because it simply is an unbelievable location straight out of a Mad Max movie, paired with a Funktion-One sound system that fits your head like a headphone, featuring the best techno DJs in the world, and you can spend your whole weekend there without ever leaving the club. They surely do not struggle financially, on the contrary, the owners are probably swimming in money and only still do it because it's fun.

Besides, let me say there's lots of other clubs in Berlin you can go to. The article is correct that there used to be much, much more, but the main issue for clubs is not attendance, but like pretty much in every big city: rising rent and neighbors who complain about noise and garbage.
