I'm guessing that unless the board caves to everything that the counterparties ask of it, MSFT lawyers will very soon reveal to the board the full range of possible legal actions against the board. The public will probably not see many of these actions until months or years later, but it's super hard to imagine that such random jumping of destruction and conflicts will go unpunished.

And how strange to rate a storage battery 'per kilogram'. It's just sitting there, on the grid, storing. The weight is entirely irrelevant.

The interesting number for stationary storage is, Wh per $. I wonder where how they compare on that (relevant) measure?
I'd love to disable my ad blockers and pay for video content (as I do for Netflix and Nebula), but YouTube has time and time again disappointed me. Some of the most egregious instances:

- Overzealous Content ID and lack of punishment for false claims. I understand it's more lightweight than DMCA and easier for YouTube, but when you're such a cultural hub the standards should be higher.

- Rewarding longer videos and causing even the most straightforward 30-second content to balloon to 12+ minutes.

- Hiding all content on Home until you enable "watch history" (hey, why not give me suggestions based on my carefully curated list of subscriptions?).

- Promoting absolutely bottom-of-the-barrel Shorts content.

- Favoring provocative content, creating the alt-right pipeline[1].

> company saying they were currently able to build cells at 90Wh/Kg in 2017.

I found an article from 2021 where they were claiming 90Wh/kg to 120Wh/kg, and that they would not go beyond that. They argue that their strength is fast charging, not high energy density, with charges to full capacity in less than 10 minutes.

Show HN: Zero dependency LLM standby, rollouts, no proxy
We believe you should not rely on any company for your critical LLM infra.

This does not proxy via another service that might go down or be beholden to whims of some board.

We wrote logos-shift for our own needs and are open sourcing it.

What it does:

- Save input/output data, no proxy, no slowdowns, double buffering, separate thread

- Finetune your own model, or we can for a fee.

- Auto rollout your model when ready.

We recommend keeping your LLM at 80/20 for most cases and rollout to 100 on failure.

How to use it:

pip install logos_shift_client

from logos_shift_client import LogosShift

# Initialize with your API key (without if you just want the local copy)

logos_shift = LogosShift(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

# Instrument your function

@logos_shift()

def add(x, y):

return x + y

result = add(1, 2)

# Optionally, provide feedback
logos_shift.provide_feedback(result['bohita_logos_shift_id_123', "success")

We can manage all this for you of course, but its not hard to do it yourself.

From people who run websites and do analytics on this stuff, the number of acceptable ads people with the knowledge to use an ad-blocker will endure is:

zero.

People say dumb stuff like "I whitelist my favorite sites and would be happy to watch a few short ads"

But the fact of that matter is that virtually no-one in the ad blocking crowd actually does this.
But it is a moral issue! Ignoring and blocking advertisements is not morally neutral, it's morally good, correct, and should be encouraged!
It's a lot easier to build such a machine if you have something to run on it, I suppose.

> PVWatts is a good resource

Yes and no. It gives you an idea of average production. What it does not tell you at all is the day-to-day reality, which can be dramatic (check out the screen shots I posted in my comment).

I used PVWatts and other tools extensively while designing my system many years ago. They are helpful, yet, again, none of them expose you to the reality of living with solar. In statistics, it is well known that applying averages to the entire population is a bad idea. Any single day, you can have one cloud kill half your system for hours. You'd be surprise to learn how often clouds --not even rain-- cause you to have to buy energy at the most expensive rate of the day. You quickly learn to hate clouds.
I dislike this type of thinking. Thinking the job will get done by somebody else because it isn’t “your job” is a disaster for everyone. Sometimes you have to play a certain role depending on the dynamics of your team(s).

Product people should read more books like “Build What Matters” or “Escape The Build Trap”. They are much more practical.
The distinction has never been “work to live”, but working class versus professional class.

Also, academics and engineers don’t derive their income from labor, but from connections, bureaucratic status, and knowledge asymmetry. That’s why they’re part of the bourgeoisie and not proletariat.

Eg, lawyers were never part of the proletariat — yet they also need to work to survive.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Tube_for_London, "energy consumption 20 per cent lower than existing trains due to regenerative brakes, LED lighting and lighter construction"

...and apparently they managed the "lighter construction" mostly by reducing the number of bogies? According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Underground_1973_Stock, current Piccadilly line trains have two 3-car units, which means 2x3x2 = 12 bogies. If you look at the video, the new train seems to be just one unit with 5 "actual" cars (with bogies) and 4 bogie-less segments suspended in between, which means just 10 bogies. Also, the new trains are 7 meters longer than the old ones.
It’s possible to prove.

Another thing that is probably out of scope for OP is safety in handling LH at the ports. Presumably there would be many of these high-pressure tanks laying around ready to be swapped in (instead of pumped) and would sooner or later cause an accident. But it would be nice to have that problem to solve to begin with :-)

Patient privacy fears as US spy tech firm Palantir wins £480M NHS contract
That guy is another AI doomer though, and those people all seem to be quite slippery themselves. Supposedly Sam lied to him about other people, but there's no further detail provided and nobody seems willing to get concrete about any time Altman has been specifically dishonest. When the doomer board made similar allegations it seemed serious for a day, and then evaporated.

Meanwhile the Google AI folks have a long track record of making very misleading statements in public. I remember before Altman came along and made their models available to all, Google was fond of responding to any OpenAI blog post by claiming they had the same tech but way better, they just weren't releasing it because it was so amazing it just wasn't "safe" enough to do so yet. Then ChatGPT called their bluff and we discovered that in reality they were way behind and apparently unable to catch up, also, there were no actual safety problems and it was fine to let everyone use even relatively unconditioned models.

So this Geoffrey guy might be right but if Altman was really such a systematic liar, why would his employees be so loyal? And why is it only AI doomers who make this allegation? Maybe Altman "lied" to them by claiming key people were just as doomerist as those guys, and when they found out it wasn't true they wailed?

Trains can often be electrified, as can semi trucks, though it will require substantial investment in heavy duty charging infrastructure. Long haul aviation, and probably long haul shipping, will likely continue to require chemical fuels (though Fleetzero aspires to electrify shipping). But multiple startups have promising routes to replacing fossil fuels with e-fuels for those applications (chemical fuels created using electricity, such as electrolysis and carbon capture, instead of pumping fossil fuel out of the ground).

Why is 'Prussian white' a nice blue? (as shown in Northvolt's pic at the bottom)
I don't know if they changed this, but I think AlDente follows a polling approach where it periodically checks the charge level and enable/disable the charging accordingly. Such solution is more hacky and it also could cause some sleep-related issues.

The SMC key discovered my marcan is nicer because it enables the same functionality without having to poll anything, as it's built into macOS.

Furthermore, I don't care about all the extra stuff they have put into AlDente, I just want to keep my battery at 80%.

That's awful and pretty close to a explicit delay for third-party browsers.
I find that almost all devs have a layer at which they don't understand what is going on. Everything we do is built on the shoulders of giants, as evidenced by how little we think about the 0s and 1s that are the actual end result of our work.

So I don't see a problem with any dev having a line of non-understanding as they work. Some peoples lines are lower than others, but we all work that way. So it is all good.
Simply put, ten years ago the ads on YouTube were fine, we used adblockers back then as well, and Google still made a profit.

That's the price of making complex, real-world hardware systems fail-safe. By fail-safe, I don't mean 'never fail' but, more literally, fail in a way that remains safe for all other systems interfacing with the failing one.

Proving that it fails safely requires a mountain of effort and documentation, but it's required because failure doesn't just lead to some speculative CPU bugs leaking a password or to a browser crash, it leads to many people dying.

Financial crime can't exist truly hidden in the modern world. Someone always know about it happening. So bribing those in the know is an integral part of the financial crime. And at certain scale bribes get to be renamed as lobbying, while being in essence the same bribes. Bribes are illegal, but lobbying is not, that's what the reward is. Corporation get to legalize their ill gotten money and have no problems with the law.

You don't want to pay capital gains taxes, so you lobby that it is legal to separate obviously unified entity into on-shore bankrupt one, and off-shore profitable one in Ireland or whatever, bribed politicians make it a law and suddenly no taxes are required. You have a chicken farm for which you don't want to pay for extremely expensive utilization of the ill and dead birds, so you lobby to reduce some restrictions written in law and voila, now you can dump your dead birds at a common garbage dump. These are just some illustrative examples.
My problem with the built-in charging limiter is that if you are not extremely consistent in your usage patterns (I am not), it basically never kicks in.

You got the analogy backwards:

Youtube is riding a bicycle.

Youtube gets sick of the sticks getting caught up in its wheels.

Youtube removes the sticks.

If you adblock youtube, you just cost them money. Dead weight. How can people be so confused about how youtube works? It's a platform to sell ad-space to advertisers. If you are not viewing ads (or paying premium) you are just a stick in the wheels of the platform.

Its like sneaking into the backdoor of a buffet, eating for free, then telling the place they are going to fail when they lock the door. Even worse, you didn't even know you were using the backdoor, you thought it was the front.
I don't follow. If the irresponsible thing is to not explain themselves, why would the lawyers tell them to be quiet?
> It will load slowly, work slowly

Why do you think this will be the case?
I've run into a similar issue in Rust with SIGPIPE. The compiler adds the call to signal() to ignore SIGPIPEs when a Rust program starts. Apparently this was to stop a listening server from exiting when a client closed their connection. But in my book I'm teaching Rust by rewriting a classic BSD utility (cat, head, wc, ...) in Rust and none of those utilities have to care about broken pipes because they don't ignore the signal and the OS silently kills the process. Instead, if a Rust program doesn't handle a write failing with a EPIPE error then the process panics and exits with a backtrace. The worst part is that Rust standard library doesn't include a module for handling signals so it's not possible to undo the signal() call ignoring SIGPIPEs without using another crate.

In the end it's fine and you just have to handle broken pipes but it adds a lot of boilerplate to small CLI programs that in C just work as expected. Another twist (and possible further subtle bug) is that most shells set the exit status of a program that exits from a broken pipe to 141 (128 + the signal number, in this case 13). So when you catch the pipe you can exit the process with a status of 141, but that's the shell's behaviour and there's no safe way to fake an exit status.
The whole point is you can't do that because then de facto that police activity cannot be recorded in direct violation of state law.

The solution is to clarify in state law that police activities in public can be recorded, and to specifically enumerate what police activities are allowed to occur outside of public eye, which should probably be limited to victim statements at the express request of the victim.

Because cultural differences have pushed him to crimes.

For example. I'm Spanish. My neighbors are Moroccan. The father didn't once in his life acknowledge my mother. He wouldn't talk to her. He would ignore her if she talked. To him, my mother was barely a person because she was a woman. Now this is extreme, but legal behavior, if it ever came to pass that he crossed some lines he might have gotten deported.

His son though? Stealing, selling drugs and beating his sisters are some of the things he has done, but he is a Spanish citizen, just like any other, so there is no magic "back to your country" card to play.

My point is that it's legitimate to pick and choose who you let into a country because the consequences of doing so are far-reaching. Because even if you might be able to deal swiftly with the guy you let in, every human being takes culture with him, and culture spreads. Integration is the most important phase of immigration, along with making sure those people you let in aren't going to be pushed into a life of crime and I don't think anyone ignoring that is taking immigration seriously.
It can because even "skateboard chassis" have limited volume.

For high end e-cars the maximal reach tends to matter a lot, even if for some buyers it only matters in advertisements.

For less high end cars they often anyway compromise on range so it might not matter as much but then in many places (which are not in the US) having small cars matters a lot to a point that sometimes e.g. typical SUVs might not be usable _at all_, and I mean EU style SUVs not US style SUVs (through most times its just very inconvenient). And small cars mean little space for batteries (potential only 50% of the space).

Lastly there are some aspects of different styles of "skateboard chassis" having different usable volumes for battery cells. And some especially save and refurbishable chassis designs come with the penalty of having a bit less volume to use.

So the answer is very dependent on the context.

If they front loaded the ads it would be a better experience.

What I hate when I'm watching YouTube on a device without an adblocker is that they show ads in the middle of a video. Thats a bad user experience IMO.

I could be more passive in my stance if they simply had all the ads in the beginning and showed some at the end before transitioning to another video or something, but I do not enjoy having my time interrupted during the video, that is the most annoying thing ever
Brute force alone is not very good for chess: you need some means of evaluating a position to prune your tree, otherwise you will not be able to plan very far ahead at all. The evaluation function is in large part what makes one chess engine better or worse than another, and nowadays that includes some neural nets for the top engines (stockfish, which is still the best AFAIK, uses a relatively small net and still evaluates some 100s of millions of positions, while Alphazero has a relatively larger net and evaluates about a thousand or so positions, and is also far better than any humans)
The capacity increase is 10% in terms of trains per hour and another ~10% in terms of how many people you can fit in the train, so it's nearly 25% pax carrying increase. Given tube numbers are down 20%, since covid, this is a huge improvement in space per passenger.

I think you are really overegging the impact of the skipped station (turnham green?) You can just get a district line train and change. Ok, it's not ideal but it's probably only adding 5-10mins to journey times. It's one station on a network of hundreds and does not justify billion+ spent for it.

And I don't think there is a business case for further capacity, as not only would it require resignalling it requires another batch of trains to be built to get it up to 36tph. There isn't the demand for that post covid. This may change but there are much more pressing captial projects for tfl (bakerloo line extension for example) imo.
