Trailers certainly spend more time sitting around than the trucks do during loading/unloading times, so if you put the panels on the trailer you would improve the ROI, although I’m not an expert on trucking and don’t know how long trailers tend to sit idle.

I suspect adding PV panels would have another issue, however, which is they’re frequently stacked on top of one another in shipping yards, etc. PV paneled trailers would likely not be stackable, and therefore containers would need to be repackaged for storage or transport outside trucking (IE a container ship wouldn’t be able to just drop a container on to a truck to ferry it, it’d need to be reloaded).
What's funny is that the line you thought you cherry-picked as a gotcha actually tells the story:

For anyone reading, the "attribute" that the racist author is referring to is the intelligence of non-white people, which the racist author says is inferior to whites.
Aside from the PS2, Nintendo owns the top 2 to 4 best selling consoles of all time. All three of them are cartridge based, included their most recent console.

They may have been outsold in the fifth generation of consoles, but first party software gave them longevity that their competitors wish they could replicate. Where is Master Chief and who, Crash Bandicoot, now?
No argument from me. LLMs would be a component of AI, much like we kind of have long term read only memory. But the extra bits could in the form of some dynamic functions on each tensor network node (G* functions LOL!)

It's interesting to go back and read the MIT OpenAI story from 2020 to hear how thinking about these moral implications was an important part OpenAI.
My argument for sure collapses once you don't accept capitalism, so fair enough! There are problems with capitalism, and property ownership has a lot of downsides.

> Those low/middle class people who have been living there for a long time are mostly still low/middle class and can't afford those taxes.

Property taxes are the one tax that anyone by definition can pay. My point, the point that you seem to be ignoring or just ignorant of, is what a low-to-middle class person who owns a $1.5M property isn’t lower or middle class. They have a net worth in the top percentiles of wealth in the US.

> In 2023, $192,084 was the median household net worth in the United States.

Don’t tell me lower class folks are being forced from their homes when the are wealthier than I am.
Langchain is really bad. You’re so much better off just doing whatever you need to do yourself, especially when it comes to interfacing with OpenAI APIs. It has all of the baggage of a big system without any of the benefits.
Ah yes, the time honored "I don't like the new thing, so I'm going to cry foul and lie about the actions of others to characterize them as evil" strategy.

Saying "hey, we don't want to keep supporting this product so we're going to stop" is not the same as "we want to make this go away, let's sabotage it." It's indigenous to equate the two. But you don't care right? The ends justify the means after all.

Acela is indeed fast for a short stretch. But the average speed is terrible, so it's only "HSR" on a technicality. It could be serious HSR if they had control and/or ownership of the entire route and made it as good as that short section where they can hit that peak speed.

Yes, but you are referring to standalone scripts, not functions defined within a Bash script.

Compare for example the following helper code used for git command completion inside Bash and inside PowerShell.

Bash: https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/contrib/completion/gi...
PowerShell: https://github.com/dahlbyk/posh-git/blob/master/src/GitPromp...

I believe this is clean Bash code and clean PowerShell code, and a script with a certain complexity. The functions inside the Bash script are documented using comments, the ones inside the PowerShell script are documented using "structured comments" (similar to javadoc/xmldoc/...). The parameters of the functions inside the PowerShell script also contain metadata which is used to provide completion on the commandline and similar functionality as the command line flags you demonstrated.

I just learned about 'getopts' in Bash, which you can actually also use to implement parameters to a Bash function. So what you are showing on a script level, can also be applied for functions. Did not know about that.

Still, not saying PowerShell is better than Bash in a Linux context, but it seems a lot of Linux users have a gut reaction to right out reject PowerShell. I think it does have some advantages for certain use cases, like more complex scripts, a cross-platform context, ... and of course, for someone with a .NET background it's easier to program more complex things with it.

Not always, but it’s not uncommon. Regardless, you won’t make progress on anything without some rest, nutrition, and a little help figuring out what’s bothering you. Being human can be hard.

The Supreme Court sure seems like they want to challenge everything that Congress or the Executive branch executes. They threaten to do so publicly.

A study showed that it's hard to measure any difference in reading speed and there is no difference in comprehension.

The difference in reading speed only applies to people who are used to double-spaces, there is no difference in reading speed single-spaced vs. double-spaced for people who are conditioned to read single-spaced.

> Although the type of spacing following punctuation marks did not seem to have an effect on those individuals who type with one space after a period, those who type with two spaces after a period had greater reading speed when paragraphs were presented in the same way in which they type: with two spaces following periods and one space following commas.

I'd argue this data suggests the double-spaces are a waste of space that accomplishes nothing except slightly handicapping people who become accustomed to it and then read text without it.

As long as you agree that:

(1) when media has stipulations attached to its distribution that you agree to when you purchase access to the media (specifically the stipulation that you're unable to share the media with others), and

(2) both breaking agreements you've made as well as knowingly benefitting from someone else breaking agreements are immoral,

(C) you must therefore agree that piracy of content with said stipulations (most mainstream content) is immoral!

When 1 and 2 don't apply, C doesn't apply, sure. But when 1 and 2 apply, C also applies.

Blackhawk 3 Pro: American-made drone for consumers
Conker's Bad Fur Day
There is no such thing as excess diesel energy.
If today an idling diesel engine uses n units of fuel per minute, if you try to put any power into a battery for use later, it will use more n+x fuel per minute.

Now, if for some reason the engine was idling for no reason other than to keep a dome light on for an hour, then yes you could generate 100 watts as fast as possible and then turn the entire engine off, leaving the dome light lit for several hours off that 100watts you made. That is what a current hybrid does, again.

But if the engine has to idle for other reasons, even laziness, making power while it idles is simply using extra fuel to make that power.

AlphaFold is a real game-changer in predicting many protein structures, but its precision in dealing with single residue mutations, particularly in non-standard proteins, isn't a sure bet.

The tool excels because it's been trained on a massive database of known protein structures. It's great at making educated guesses based on that data, but it's not as reliable when it comes to variations that don't have much historical data, like specific mutations at the residue level.

For these finer details, traditional physics-based methods, like molecular dynamics simulations, might offer more insight. They really get into the atomic-level interactions, which can be critical for understanding the subtle effects of amino acid changes.

AlphaFold is likely to identify significant structural changes, but it might not be your go-to for pinpointing smaller, more nuanced shifts.
I'm interested in how the state plans on regulating it, but I do believe there should be some sort of policies in place to set a standard.
Unfortunately, Steam has indeed engaged in some degree of "rug-pulling". Their client has locked out older OSes, and thus prevented users from continuing to be able to play the games they purchased for those given OSes.

I've been on Steam since 2004, just a few months after it launched, and I have purchased some ~600 titles on there since that time. Of course, there are countless titles that are no longer playable because Steam will no longer run on the OSes some of the earliest titles were designed for. In some cases the titles will run in a newer version of Windows, but a computer that initially ran Windows XP can't realistically be upgraded to Windows 10.

I still have ~every computer I've ever owned, and that includes the one I originally ran Steam on. So, after buying a ton of games, nothing changed on my end, but Valve decided to end access to my purchases because they decided I need to buy a new computer so I can continue to play what already ran just fine since 2004.

There was quite a long time that I didn't foresee this inevitability with Steam and purchased a ton of games, but now I only buy them on steep discount because I know I'm only getting a "temporary pass" to play them until Valve decides my computer is too old.

Oh yeah needless to say, GOG is awesome in this regard. All my purchases are backed up on my NAS. I can play them on my Windows XP/7 computers if I want to. As much as it's a hassle to store all that stuff (and not have cool social/network features like Steam does), at least I can keep and play my games as long as I want, without limitation.

How many RHEL paying customers rely on anything which won't run under XWayland, though?

Well nobody tell the folks shipping new features[0]; I'd hate for them to realize. That said, as an active user, I don't really need X to get better, I just need it to keep working until either Wayland actually catches up, or everyone moves on to the next thing and that manages feature parity.

Ask HN: How do you manage incompetent and/or uncommunicative managers?
I fear I have an incompetent and uncommunicative manager.

1. The manager never shares what's learned in meetings with upper management. Nobody knows what's happening outside our team.

2. The manager assigns work but doesn't provide any context, resources, or points of contact. It's as simple as "This feature must be built by 12/31/2024" on a slide. The manager then never talks about it again until it's due.

3. The manager never shares a "thanks" or "good job". The manager will often turn the team's work in using a method that looks like the manager did it - even by removing the author's name!

4. I have no one-on-one with the manager.

5. The manager's skillsets are nowhere near where they should be. I can't name a single thing the manager has assisted with on a technical level (even giving guidance).

6. The manager never makes decisions and defers to upper management... which only the manager gets to talk with.

How do you manage this scenario when you otherwise love the company? I don't want to leave a company I love over a single person. There isn't a bunch of movement within teams, but I will try to move when I have the option. Until then.... help?
I think what I find amusing is this idea that the game must be exclusive to prove ... something, not sure what, about the N64.

exclusives are generally a lock-in scam for the companies and say absolutely nothing about the games on a system.

I bet if we went back in time 2 years and asked Cory if “next-word-predictors” could produce anything remotely close to gpt-4, he would have the same arrogant / confident tone and say, of course not.

I think for the simple fact that our ability to predict emergent properties of complex systems is nascent at best, warrants an extreme humility when discussing these topics. We simply are terrible at predicting what will emerge.

Also this debate of his is single-dimensional. Even in the unlikely case that significant advances in LLMs were not possible, combining certain technologies / tech stacks here with LLM/LLM(s) is likely (I would say guaranteed) to result in additional surprises in emergent behaviors that will continue to look eerily similar to our intelligence and sentience. We’re unlikely to be near the local maxima.
Look up digital reconstructions of pre-colonial Tenochtitlan and the huge lago de Texcoco that surrounded it. The colossal metropolis of Greater Mexico City, with its roughly 23 million people, was started over a series of swampy islands that were barely fit for 250,000 people and then grew to consume the entire lake that used to fill the Valle de Mexico. Doing that is bound to have repercussions that stretch across centuries, particularly as the city in question grows to megalopolis proportions.

Today's Mexico City is a water distribution and ground water control disaster that only keeps getting worse. For many people who don't know its geographical history, it's hard to believe that the city periodically floods catastrophically. After all it's in the middle of a broad high mountain valley with generally dry conditions surrounding it, but flood it does, and sometimes terribly during the annual rain seasons, causing incredible levels of gridlock for a place with already bad general traffic problems.

One curious lesson from this is about how adaptable humans are even in especially disastrous situations once they've already invested in maintaining their place there. Mexico city continues to be a desirable living destination and through a mix of improvisations, new technologies and creative uses of established engineering methods, the city's residents and government keep finding ways to mediate against their problems.

You could extrapolate this to many human-caused problems that people think insurmountable.

If a neighbor doesn’t like what you’re doing on your own land they should buy your land or stop whining. Plenty of remote places they can buy a tract and decide what’s what.

San Francisco is 65%-70% renters, they have a large majority to make change if they want.
The best possible outcome here is SF blowing this deadline and a bunch of new housing developments getting approved a day later.

This is horseshit. The geoblocks those the boats just careened in to were in place for a long time before, and limited to not allow access in Russia due to US sanctions! What Elon was asked to do, was to break the regulations his company is working beneath to create a major new offensive, against the then-current mindset of how US supplied Ukraine in long-term capabilities. Elon said explicitly that if it actually came through the proper channels, and not some random Ukrainian source, he would absolutely have made an exception and opened up those then-closed areas.

Unfortunately people often oversimplify the Austrian stance to take it to mean boom/bust only exists due to interest.

But interest aside, the activity of lending itself exacerbates boom/bust because people depending on the money lent out coming back to them are at a higher risk of default, and if they default, they put more people at risk...

If anything the generic austrian stance too generous. Their knee jerk anti state stance leaves some weird window of the state being able to manage things if it were only smart enough.
