I think your math is realistic.

We have to keep in mind that 6.9 isn’t yet the end user rate after grid fees, but still.

There is also a ton of potential in demand shaping by offering hourly prices to customers.

The place where batteries fail is long-term, seasonal storage. The price per charge is still low, but an asset that takes 5000 years to amortise (one charge cycle per year) is not a competitive investment.

So we will need other approaches here, where the substance that stores the energy is cheap and the cost is shifted onto the energy transforming device (this is e-fuels/ ammonia/ hydrogen)

That doesn't sound normal, even for Linux. It almost sounds like the issue is somewhere else. My first guess would be a PSU that's unable to source the 3090's current draw under load, given everything else running on your system.

Try using a dedicated rail or another PSU if you have one.
Putting aside differences with their politics and angle, what happens to all this content when they are gone? I feel a piece of culture gets lost in the process.

Using Rust without using the features provided by Cargo is akin to buying an electric car and asking for all the electronics to be removed.

Rust libraries will never be shipped by your distro’s package manager. Maybe a few exceptions for things that also have C bindings, but it will never be the default.
Even if that's true, if it sees any success it will both normalize that type of device in public, and very shortly see aliexpress flooded with a bunch of cheap clones from companies with no such beliefs.

That also depends on GC, and the language, and the implementations of the GC.

E.g. in Erlang GC is mostly negligible [1] (but you can put undue pressure on it, and on the underlying OS), there are realtime GCs for Java, etc.

But yeah the cost of GC is never zero.

> Expected errors - like "user not found" - should use a value instead of exception. In Python, you can use sentinel objects, or tuples, or None.. lots of options really.

That's why exceptions are called exceptions, not errors. If a routine called openFile() can't open a file, that's a pretty exceptional situation, and it's up to the caller to decide whether the exact reason is an error in their case.

The exception object is already a value that can have not only a message text, but also any data members, so why reinvent the wheel with sentinel objects, tuples, etc.?

> The examples in post, where you catch exception and re-raise Exception back are terrible - what's the point of them? There is no extra clarity, just verbosity. I would defect them in any code review.

Typically, you re-raise an exception after adding some content to it. This may be less important in Python, which gives you a great stack trace, but in a language like C++, the lack of context information makes the exception basically useless.
No. The math libraries are written in Fortran 77 for the most part, which did not have pointers. I should have been more precise about that.

I had to laugh at the "great developer experience".
Meaningless error messages, unreadable syntaxes, forced structures, no explanation why the solution to certain errors is importing some lib.

You write backend code as of you were writing frontend code, which is not enjoyable.
You always have to think about who owns what.

And the whole crate terminology is just stupid.
What am I, a dock worker or software designer?

No, to each their own but Rust does not have a great developer experience.

Compile times are long.

What do you gain in performance compared to Go? Not a while lot, and you pay with wasted time aka increased development time and more complicated thought process.

It's not for me, and when this blog says great dx, that means it's a propaganda post. In fact the whole article reads like it's trying to convince someone do something they don't want to.

We live on free energy, free as in "dig a hole and voilà": energy. No nuclear, no solar, no wind can replace the sheer amount of energy we extract out of oil and coal. I’m afraid privacy in cars is going to be the least of humanity’s problems unless we make fusion working.

From the Google side I wonder if the underlying logic of these types of acquisitions is actually more originating on the Google M&A department side.

There's probably some infrastructure needed to maintain a corporate Google M&A team which is probably is essential at the size of Google, but I can imagine there is a bit of downtime in between large deals that are actually exponentially value accretive (i.e. Youtube, Nest, etc.).

If the downtime between rational M&A is too long, you probably start having staff attrition, in fighting/restlessness, lack of practice - not to mention a need to justify the existence of the department via OKRs to the rest of the company. Hence the need for some smaller, slightly less rational M&A deals to get done in order to keep the team in a ready state.

But how practical is it really? Let's say it's winter, you have your AI Pin on your winter jacket. Then you get inside and take off your jacket naturally. Then you take off your AI Pin and somehow put both parts of it into and onto your sweater? This sounds very cumbersome. A smartwatch just stays on your wrist. You can even take a shower or go swimming with it if you want to. And a smartphone has a screen you can use in many situations – sitting, standing, lying, with the phone on your hand, lying on a table, attached to a stand. All of this is not possible with the AI Pin. It is meant to be attached to your clothing or you can't use its projector. How do you read your emails? How do you read a book? How do you frame a shot? How do you scroll through TikTok? These are all things people do with devices that cost way less than $700 today. And many, many people love to do these things.
Based on what assumptions? The Deck struggles enough to get decent FPS on many titles without careful tweaking - how do you think it's going to do if it has to push twice the number of pixels.
> Western classical music is one of the human race's greatest achievements

No other art style in any medium has as many people with this kind of entitlement. Most working artists have to make things people actually like, but classical groups and classical music are propped up by wealthy donors. 90% of people who go to a classical show will never return to see another.

I like classical music but I also like Elvis, and I don’t think that every metro area in the US deserves to have a public radio station dedicated to Elvis. But as long as a small dedicated base of rich people pays for it, those radio waves will wash over us.
It's not illegal - they'd just have to provide them employee-like benefits which would be expensive. So it's just costly to treat contractors too well.
Why not get a minipc with the AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS or Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU?
Both of those have an integrated Radeon 780M GPU which should be better than steamdeck.

Not a direct answer, but I do get a decent amount of contracting work for Rust. Mostly for 2-3 year old projects where the original Rust developer has moved on and they need a small fix or feature change.
Most people consider most deception unethical. And most people would consider it unethical to exploiting the difficulty of quantifying the work they do, colleagues' misplaced trust in your estimates of how long it would take to fix and them ultimately not complaining about your performance levels mainly because they mistakenly believe you're actually trying your best and will get better in a few months time... to earn twice as much as everyone else.

For the avoidance of doubt I thought there was absolutely nothing unethical about my coworker who was approached about a job in a different timezone and told everyone he'd taken it but was happy to work before 5pm.
Looks fantastic. I wish Valve would take another go at steam controller and steam link.
I don't know on which planet you live but every new generation is worse than the previous one.

My last macbook needed to have a battery replaced during Apple Care (after only 2 years) and they just gave me a new body (no dents, same specs, same keyboard layout, transplanted the ssd - or transferred the data, not sure) and plugged it to the old screen.

If they don't bother swapping a battery...
The easiest way to do this is usually to unplug the antenna and replace it with an RF terminator. The vehicle will simply think it is always out of range of cellular service. Unfortunately most modern vehicles require a lot of finagling to disable the telematics control module itself without causing error messages.

It would be nice if some regulator would mandate an "easy-off" function for vehicle telematics - some kind of simple procedure which would remove a telematics module from the installation list and allow the module to be unplugged without triggering fault detection. This is possible on some cars using dealership tools to re-train (sometimes called "code") the configuration blobs in each control module to omit telematics, but it's not standardized and usually too difficult for a consumer to manage.

No, it sadly doesn't do VRR and neither does this new one. According to the LTT video[0], it's because of the internal connector that the internal display is attatched with, because external VRR screens do work. They speculate that valve were just limited by what is available on the market because they are not quite shipping enough units yet to warrant fully custom designs / orders. Apparently there are hints towards this being the same supplier that also supplies the Switch OLED's screen.

Have you tried either Nvidia's or AMD's? I used moonlight on my phone for Nvidia it's free. You need fast wifi or Ethernet. I am planning on doing this for all my future purchases as a server to stream my media to all devices with as much performance as possible. I think this is a much better route than another dedicated device, unless you plan to use it outside a lot, and even then with good enough data and internet you can stream it from your computer.

There's an Xbone mount/clip that I really liked for $3ish (it's like $20 official) and they might have done the same with the PS4 or 5 designed just to add a BT/USB-C controller to your phone.

> I don't feel like people who regularly joke about copy-pasting code snippets from Stack Overflow are really implementing proper engineering practices.

Many Rust libraries are shipped by distro package mangers, right now. But in general, those packages are intended to be used to build the Rust programs that are packaged in the distro, and not for general use. So it is going to be a painful way to try to write programs using Rust's ecosystem, as it is with basically every other non-C or C++ language.
That sounds remarkably like saying "it's ok to drive drunk, as long as you don't hurt anyone"; which, clearly, is ridiculous. If you're breaking the law, there should be consequences even if you didn't _happen_ to hurt someone this time.

I've never seen a contractor have better salary/pay unless they're a fully independent subject matter expert and have no interest in being employed. I've hired a quite a few contractors and there is usually two cases, I need workers, or expertise that is highly limited.

Most contractors, not SME, are sourced from staffing agencies/partners. Sure, the resource cost is on par with a salaried worker, but typically the staffing company sourcing these people are going to take a huge chunk on that contract, at least 1/3. So yes, the resource/person is 280K on paper, but it's extremely rare they actually get paid that. The staffing agencies will provide benefits, but they're not even close to what in house staff are getting.

It also becomes nearly impossible to hire a contractor from partners in cases like this because you have to buy out the resource on the contract which is almost a non-starter because these fees can easily be 6 figures per head.
But Kirkland has a good reputation (deservedly? don't know) for authentic product labeling. I buy a lot of EVOO there myself, and think highly of the quality.
I disagree that they suck as an idea, they're just a misapplied one. Cars and combustion engines have done a lot for humanity. The bad ideas were: making excuses to sell as many cars as possible, investing in car infrastructure over mass transit, deceiving the public about the dangers of global warming once discovered, and for 50 years afterwards, ignoring/downplaying other externalities of fossil fuel extraction and use...
Cars aren't really the villains in this story. It's just people being foolish and greedy, which they'll still be for the foreseeable future.

Probably not even if you voluntarily "agree" to it via some button and a very long incomprehensible legal text.

This is sarcasm, right? The individual mandate was struck down.

In my opinion, this was a brilliant strategic move by those opposed because it guarantees the eventual financial inviability of all of the ACA. Decreasing the size of the risk pool by allowing people to opt out will guarantee that it won't work long-term.

What are you basing this on? You realise we have localised grids that go 100% renewable regularly, and could easily keep doing that with electrified transport?
I don't think it's as big a deal with Steam Deck using gamescope and system-wide FSR to upscale the image. It's already used if you plug a Deck into a 4k TV: the game defaults to running at 720p still.

With newer games having decoupled 3D render resolution and FSR2, a bump in output resolution no longer means an increase in CPU/GPU required. While allowing older games that aren't as resource intensive to run at 1080p.
For most manufacturers, you can purchase access to the technical documentation for a short period. I paid Toyota $20 for 48 hours of access and got PDFs of the official instructions for how to remove the 4G module.

The display uses a mipi interface instead of a edp. This is because the screen isn’t completely custom and likely used one from a manufacturer similar to the switch oled which also uses a mipi display.

If valve sold more units it might justify a completely custom solution but this is still way better than what people had to do to get a better screen before.

MBAs. Same ones infecting the company that you most likely work for.

Something smaller like stamping out PV panels or windmills for farms of them is much more manageable. Anything big and complex invites too much graft.

And while you can complain about expensive regulations, that's just another graft called regulatory capture. And they let you blame it on the hippies, while they rake in the dollars.
The module should go to sleep, and the battery management should also load-shed it if it detects the battery draining. I suspect this is probably not implemented correctly on some cars (because what is), but it's definitely something that's tested for regularly (since cars can be expected to be taken camping, off the grid, or even just purchased by owners who live outside of cellular coverage).

I am in the process of being made redundant (not because of anything to do with AI, just because of economic headwinds the traditional part of the business had to deal with).

I haven’t put a lot of effort into job hunting yet, but my colleagues report that they are likely to come out of this with a pay rise.

Worth noting that my employer is not a tech company. What the facebooks and microsofts of this world do does not necessarily reflect what companies with fewer than fifty engineers do.
Women are people.

I knew it, of course, and it seems obvious. But it took me forever to internalize what it meant.

My hormones were telling me that there was something separate and other about them, something I absolutely positively had to have. It's hard to separate that from the messages I absorbed from the culture. Either way, it was incredibly overpowering, and that made me miss a lot of what was obvious.

I approached it in a stereotypically male way, as an economic transaction. This was bolstered by a lot of the "evolutionary" approaches I read about, which I now see as poorly supported but was exactly the kind of thing I wanted to believe and sounded like science.

I was perhaps 30 when it finally started to come together for me. And honestly I cannot tell how much of that is just due to the hormones subsiding a bit. I found myself a social group and started to date online. And that worked great: I was finally able to engage with women as people and found out that they were just like me.

It was also when I finally figured out what women were afraid of when it came to men. I knew I represented no threat and was baffled that they couldn't see that. But of course they can't see that.

The biggest single thing a dating man should know: not all men are rapists, but it only takes one to badly affect her for the rest of her life. Men often underestimate both the gravity of that trauma, and the strain of living with that threat at literally every moment of their lives. It's different from the threats that affect us men -- which are also very real and serious, but also very visible. Women carry a lot of burdens that men don't see.

Every time the subject of dating comes up I see HN is filled with men who don't get anything I'm saying here, and I struggle to convince them. It's frustrating because I think their lives could be so much better, but it starts by giving up some preconceptions that are so deep that they seem absolute and objective -- truths so basic you don't even recognize that an alternative could exist. It took me many miserable years to figure this out and I still don't think I've conveyed it well.
Same at MSFT (I know because I was on both sides).
