No they are not, they are paying someone to do it someday. Those someone are shady. No carbon is currently removed from the atmosphere. Even when operational it will be a tiny fraction of what they are causing. It's a marketing stunt with no effect on the climate. In fact it makes it worse, cause people then think it's ok to keep consuming.
Freja is an interesting topic for sweden. In many ways it is superior. It require either an passport or police issued id card, which it connects to using the embedded chip. It also seem to do manual checks by a human that look at the photo (taken by the app using the phone camera) and compares it to the id card. Bank id in comparison allows anyone who can log into the bank account.

That said, people do not like the wait for the manual check, and the app itself seem to get a lot of hate.

The Qt company has been somewhat hostile to the spirit of open source (see the drama around closing the Qt library for a year since release), so I'm not sure how close it is to the canonical core of the community, and especially to any obligations that might come from that.

Either way, there is no mechanism for accountability in open source other than peer pressure or reputation. Qt Company doesn't care about that a lot. They care about making buck first and foremost, operating in the "capitalist" realm. So the solution I propose is using that playbook too.

In a broader view, forking is telling people "you are not our devs any more, we're seizing the means of production", which I think is rather anti-capitalist.
They also fairly recently changed things so you need to install a downloader app in order to download more than one album track at once. That's quite aggravating. I'm not installing some shitty app but there isn't a Linux version either, FWIW.

I have historically bought a lot of music, don't like MP3s, and don't want to collect CDs anymore that I just rip to digital. Qobuz and Bandcamp age the only services I know that offer FLAC.

I've mostly stuck to Bandcamp but Qobuz has quite a few releases that don't appear on Bandcamp (probably because of certain labels).
I feel like the problem with security is the same as with HR. They’re so specialized they often have no other work, so spending a bunch of time on pointless policies just makes their job more secure for them.

This is due to a phenomenon called heat soak which is where the engine temperature increases above normal for a time after it has been switched off due to the lack of coolant flow. The fan is coming on to aid cooling the engine/engine bay to reduce the effect of heat soak.
With carburettor fed engines it is sometimes advised by the manufacturer to allow the engine to idle for some time after running it at high RPM. This is because the effect of heat soak can be significant enough to boil all the fuel off in the carb, making the engine hard to restart when hot.
At first sight, I also initially interpreted the use of the term "signals" or "signaling" the same as you interpreted it: with negative connotation that is often used for those who only care about the perception of the public, but not actually caring "by heart".

But after reading the first few pages in that document, especially with the comparison to Cuba missile crisis and the title "Decoding Intentions", it appears that the word "costly signals" here is about how to properly publicize our intentions, so as not to create misconception that may spiral out of control, like in the case of Cuba missile crisis, where unclear "signals" were given, causing a chain of misunderstanding to pile on top of another, making the situation worse.

The document seems to be a cautionary tale to prevent that kind of thing to happen again, this time with AI systems, especially when it's used in the military, where the consequences may be dire.

So, I interpreted the point of the document as (my wording):
Let us be aware on how we are communicating our intentions through our actions, lest miscommunications make chaos out of this rapidly advancing nascent technology breakthrough.

It still largely comes down to incentives from what I've seen. A lot of times all anyone (from the researcher to the reviewer) cares about is the paper. Journals don't check that code actually works, and a lot of researchers don't spend time on preparing their code. They feel there's no need, since they now got a new article on their CV. It's true that they may not have the skills and experience to produce good code they can share (depending on the area), but often 1) there's no time to prep code since they've got 3 other projects going on and a crazy work pace 2) the code is seen as something incidental and secondary - what matters to them is the figures and results 3) some groups want to milk a topic for a few papers so they're guarding their code and data. Luckily at least plenty of journals demand access to data or even making it public.
Great article!

>"The earth contains a lot of titanium - it’s the ninth most abundant element in the earth’s crust. By mass, there’s more titanium in the earth’s crust than carbon by a factor of nearly 30, and more titanium than copper by a factor of nearly 100."

>"Titanium was nearly as strong as stainless steel, but weighed 40% less."

Consider Steel I-Beams, used in construction:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-beam

Observation: If the workability difficulties of Titanium could be solved, at scale -- then not Steel, but Titanium I-Beams -- could be produced, en masse...

If this could be done cheaply enough, then, in the future, Titanium I-Beams -- produced in the U.S.A. -- could retake the worldwide market for construction I-Beams that was historically lost when other countries started producing Steel I-Beams cheaper than the U.S. did...

Anyway, an excellent article!
It's fun isn't it? "Stimulate spending" and then complain that nobody is saving money. It's the game: complain that Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, get elected, turn around and debase the currency to "stimulate the economy", rinse and repeat.
Maybe check if your EGR is operating properly? Also the resistance heater if equipped.

Most diesel cars equipped with EGR also detect its (frequent in older cars) failures, but I suppose it's possible to have a fault without it being detected.

EGR is responsible for recirculating exhaust gases back into the intake primarily to increase efficiency, but a nice side effect is that it heats up the engine a lot quicker.

Also, many diesel cars sold around here since 2000 or so are equipped with a resistance heater that kicks in when the engine is cold. Perhaps that's different in other markets.
I don't understand why they are not making their characters attractive by default like is done in manga. People want to see cute characters and I imagine most artists want to draw cute characters.

Making a shitty programming language from scratch. Part 1
Transactions in most crypto are even more visible to the state than in normal banking, because they're in an uneditable public database that never loses history.
I’m no fan of Binance, but to label them as Bond villains while spending zero effort on trying to understand the ideology behind cryptocurrencies (at least, what was supposed to be the ideology) and why being a distributed business without a physical address is desirable from that point of view – and not just because they’re evil greedy people (of which Binance may still be) – makes this essay not very interesting. It would have been a much better piece had the author attempted to understand the decentralization ideology and then squared that with the apparently very real crimes so widespread in crypto.

Edit: found the essay that this link reminded me of: a comparison of Jason Bourne to James Bond, from a societal perspective. A good piece to read after this original link.

Ask HN: How do I make math captivating for myself?
I did a bachelor's program in computer science, which, at other universities, might be classified as a software engineering program. The curriculum focused on programming, software engineering, algorithms, and other essentials for the average developer in my country, but it lacked courses in math. This absence of math has led to occasional poor self-esteem on my part. Additionally, I've grown tired of what I can best describe as 'code monkey' grunt work, finding it lacking in intellectual stimulation. I also enjoy hacking around with machine learning in my spare time, and a stronger foundation in math would be beneficial.

This led me to study up on the prerequisites for university-level math, specifically algebra and calculus. Now, I'm on track to take courses in linear algebra and other undergraduate math subjects this spring. To prepare, I've self-studied linear algebra and it's been going well so far. However, I've noticed that my behavior is a hindrance. Allow me to explain:

As a teenager learning programming, I found it captivating. I could sit for 12 hours, completely losing track of the world, forgetting even to eat and drink. This intense focus continued through university and into my career, benefiting me greatly. I've noticed similar levels of focus when gaming or working out, a state of deep concentration.

However, this is not the case with mathematics. My mind seems to actively resist it. I catch myself thinking, 'I deserve a break for the day,' and then turn to doom-scrolling on HN, or I start considering how to make math more fun by turning it into a game and brainstorming a new programming project. This might be the first occasion I spend a considerable amount of time on something that doesn't make me "lose myself", which is unsettling. I've reflected on whether I am neurodivergent or if this is normal. Regardless, I can't change how my brain behaves, which poses a challenge to my further studies in math unless I work around it somehow.

Thus, I turn to you. Have any of you experienced something similar? Did you manage to overcome it with the help of anything more than sheer force of will?
Show HN: XPipe – A reimagined SFTP client for modern server infrastructure
I am not a rubyist, but a block (which I think is properly called a proc) is different from a regular lambda in that its control flow statements are lexically scoped to the method it is defined in. A return statement in a lambda returns from a lambda (and always succeeds), a return statement in a block returns from the method the block was defined in (and fails with a LocalJumpError if the call frame is no longer on the call stack).

I think Kotlin has a similar distinction between lambda expressions that return from the definer (and it ensures that you're passing them to an inline function that won't save the closures for later) and anonymous functions that return from themselves.

Well multicast is not possible on internet so I guess that's why you don't see it often.

In private network centric protocols though (e.g. finance), multicast is ubiquitous.
the root of the issue is trust in published science. if people focus too much on reproducibility, then you will get people trying to game the system to publish reproducible but still misleading/cherrypicked science
The game is a copyrighted work, but so is the source code. The compiled code is a derivative work, and so is the decompiled code. Nintendo is not selling the source code, so arguing about sales in the market does not makes sense.

Here's the list of SEC crypto enforcement actions.[1] They start about two or three cases a month. 30 cases so far this year. At first, they focused on the out and out scams. Then, they shut down the ICO industry by sending out letters asking why each ICO wasn't registered as a security. Then they went after some of the NFT guys. They went after some paid influencers. Now they're going after the bigger exchanges. Plus, along the way, the usual out and out scams: "fraud for misappropriating at least $12 million of offering proceeds to purchase luxury goods including sports cars, watches, and a 555-carat black diamond..."

The SEC's position is simple: the same rules apply to crypto as to other financial products. After FTX, nobody is seriously opposing that any more. The "crypto is special" argument is dead.
The scams are not even original - the scams are Ponzi schemes, pump and dump, front-running, insider trading, and just plain stealing customer assets. All of those were known before 1900.
The crypto crowd isn't really that innovative.

> Unless you run a very outdated/"stable" distribution

LTS is exactly this pain!

I really don't understand why anybody would use that for development. Your SW won't land anyway in the current "stable" distri release, but at the earliest in the "next" version. So you need to develop against that "next" version anyway. The "next" version is something like Debian Testing…

And if you don't plan to release your SW properly into a distri you need to bring your own environment anyway.
We actually switched from altium to kicad at work. For the stuff that we build, kicad does everything we need and it's honestly a bit smoother experience than altium imo. I am sure there is stuff where you absolutely need altium (RF stuff?), but I encourage people to look into it.
Well there's the pickle we're in. The Conservatives talk center-right but are essentially Blairite in their actions—they seem to be doubling down on that approach with the return of Cameron to government.

There's a massive gap to the right of the Tories, and someone's going to fill it. Hopefully, it'll be moderate right-wingers, but there's a danger the right will split into factions and we'll have a resurgent far right making trouble for everyone plus a center-left party perpetually in Government and unwilling to address any issues around immigration (in spite of what they might say when they're trying to win elections).
If you fail to reproduce some important research then I think that would absolutely get published. (see the recent superconductor drama)

So if you feel some impactful work is suspicious .. I think disproving it would absolutely be incentivised

If you show its actually correct.. Well then usually it's not that hard to push the envelope a bit further and say something new. That happens all the time

There are over 1.8 million crypto tokens. If the SEC is going to shut down the industry, they’ll need to at least start shutting down more projects per month than are starting up.
Well, I suppose there's a simple "rule of thumb" way to respond to all these "What is it like to be an X?" questions (with X defined as "non human").

So here it is: take the lowest of the lowest IQ but still functional human being, I dunno, IQ in the 40-50 range. I mean someone who's definitely not a rocket scientist but are still not mentally ill and can still tie their shoes and wipe their own a*s. You can probe for not much of "I think, therefore I am" philosophical introspection going on in their skull but they walk around, forage for food and learn to "do tricks" (work) and display signs of general intelligence like remembering where they put their TV remote or "forecasting imagination" like devise a plan to cross the street safely if not just following other people on the crosswalk.

Now take that, divide by 100 and multiply by the stupidest of the stupidest retarded level of human idiocy one can imagine and voila: you get a bat.

Bitcoin surged to $38,544, a height never seen since May 2022.
SEC meets Grayscale and BlackRock; discussions fuel Bitcoin’s upward trajectory.
Bitcoin, the dominant force in the cryptocurrency realm, has ignited fervent conversations within the community during this holiday season. Its recent climb to $38,544 marks a monumental high not witnessed since May 5, 2022, a staggering 18-month gap. The surge follows a turbulent two-day period that saw Bitcoin dip below $35,780 before its remarkable ascent. Presently, it stands at $37,809, boasting a 1% uptick in the last 24 hours.
American citizens should occasionally be denied access to the free market. The preservation of the US automotive industry is clearly in the national interest, and the domestic market should be walled off until GM, Ford etc complete their transition to EV's. That your average America citizen needs to 'make do' with a slightly inferior product is a trivial local sacrifice for the greater good of the state.
Crypto doesn't need to be enforced out of existence, it already cannot compete with other money, so it remains a niche thing. Enforcing things on niches is easy to some extent (or rather not even needed).
The efficiency of electrical resistance heating is exactly the same whether you use motor coil resistance or resistance wire.

Except for Musk, everyone seems stylistically fairly cute. The textile workers all are simply drawn but cute, and the cover with the reclined man is odd but he's still attractive. So I'm guessing the artist isn't a huge fan of Musk.

When something goes wrong, they will collectively cover each other. When something goes catastrophically wrong, the public will learn about it and say "how it could function like that?!". Alternatively they will use the opportunity to get rid of someone unwanted. Healthcare professionals are awfully slimy and corrupted.

Some of its predictive power is astonishing. The plot is pure melodrama. But it also contains lawyers hacking robot judges, so it is pretty fun.
Interesting - the visible timestamp says "2 hours ago", but hovering over it does show a time two and a half days ago. I guess the mods think it deserves a second chance, as not-so-well-known early scifi that has things like:

> Surgeons and lawyers may be steam-powered automatons. Air travel, by balloon, is commonplace. A kind of Internet is predicted in it. Besides trying to account for the revivification of the mummy in scientific terms—galvanic shock rather than incantations—"she embodied ideas of scientific progress and discovery, that now read like prophecies" to those later in the 19th century.

Well the thing is, making it not so gullible is actually worse. Then it will start saying things like “I can’t help you that because you once said something too X.” If you use the wrong terminology then bam, you can never ask the right question.

Safety is a joke and it needs to be far more high level. Just like in real life, if someone random comes and asks an advanced question, you don’t just answer it. You first get an idea of their current level, then answer the question based on what they should already know. Also, if the information might be dangerous, you still answer, but warn them and tell them how to mitigate the dangerous aspects. You generally don’t just refuse to answer.

It's also a common cause of breakdowns... The fan normally cools the radiator, but the temperature sensor is on a coolant hose. Since the engine is stopped coolant isn't flowing so the fan isn't cooling the same thing the sensor is sensing, which means it can end up running for 30 mins or more. Since the fan can be 20 amps or so, you can easily kill old car batteries due to this effect. User comes back after an hour shopping to find their car battery is dead.

If I was a car manufacturer, I would wire the fan into the ignition circuit so it can never run with the ignition off - it's fairly useless to have a fan blowing on a radiator when the coolant isn't flowing anyway.
