Most people I know do 12 hour days when they roadtrips. They often pull into a drive through for lunch and then right back down the road.

Some will do 30+ hours straight, only stopping when they get gas. That is your baldder better make it to the next gas station and once there you need to not only use the restroom, but also find whatever you are going to eat - when the gas tank is full the car leaves. This is not safe, but it is done often.

Time to add 100 miles is probably the best gauge of road trips. That is a good number to stop at for a break (cars are 200-300 - but this is too long). 15-20 minutes every 100 miles is a good amount of time to force someone to walk around to charge - this time is about health. However if your times to much above that people have places to be and EVs are getting in the way. (I'm assuming that charging infrastructure supports that - it isn't quite there everywhere but that is coming fast)

Car are cheap once you have one (most of the costs are fixed so even if it sits in the driveway you still pay the cost), and so where I live in the mid west long road trips like the above are common - flying ends up being very expensive and doesn't save a lot of time at best, and at worst you miss a transfer and end up someplace you don't want to be for a few days. Trains are in theory possible, but also expensive and doesn't run great schedules.
This list is likely mainly for ICE cars. EVs are much more reliable in general due to a lot less moving parts. The main issue is that in about a decade you’ll have to replace your battery
There's something to be said, after an initial "reduction in force" happens, for the remaining employees to look ahead and go: OK so I and my team may be at X% risk of layoffs, but with decent-to-good-to-sometimes-excellent severance pay and at least no prospect of dehumanizing PIPs/whatever, I am happy with those odds.

Better than a pervasive dread amongst the whole workforce.
I'm still aiming for the 100 under 100 list.
While full bandwidth applications certainly exist, it is rare. Most direct sampling schemes are used for having a purely digital RF front end within the Nyquist range of the ADC/DACs. It's cheaper and easier to develop firmware/gateware than debug analog RF issues and respin hardware.

If I create an original file in Photoshop that's 8K, then produce a JPG of it, the JPG is both orders of magnitude smaller, and clearly a rendition of the same work. There's no way to get back to the original 587MB 8K PSD from the 87KB 1024x768 JPG, but that's irrelevant to whether the latter is a version of the former.

Just because the models are not perceptually the same as their training data does not mean that they are not effectively a lossy compression of that data.
The “obsession” isn’t for developers like you or I, it’s for non-technical but curious non-engineers who would still like to play around with an LLM.

I think you’re imposing your own very specific (and solvable!) gripe onto an unrelated project and it makes for pretty clumsy commentary.
Modern bike wheels and tires are also moving in an interesting direction: carbon rims are increasingly made 'hookless' (straight flange without the 'hook' which locks the tire bead) because it's easier to manufacture, lighter and more aerodynamic, while tires are tubeless, which is also lighter and less prone to punctures, but then the tires are harder to manufacture and more expensive. And lower pressures must be used so the tire does not pop off the hookless rim, so the rims and tires are also getting wider to hold more air, where once 17mm inner rim width was common for road bikes, we are now getting up to 25mm.
But it isn't. If the AI produces a work found to be a copyright violation it isn't magically not just because it was made by AI. This nonsense has laid bare for the world just how little people actually understand copyright.

The only interesting question is whether the models themselves violate copyright and it's a tough sell without being able to actually show the copy. Because even if it's able to make something similar to your work it doesn't show the model actually contains a copy of it. If you coax a model to make an image that violates copyright it's gonna be hard to say that it's anything other than you using an advanced drawing tool to copy an image.
Probably because Tesla lies about their stats like actual range
It's not new it has been in vscode for 7 years.
The "RAG" part (over the training set) is by far the smallest contribution to the performance gains reported (see the ablation study in section 5.2). I don't think the model is actually learning in-context from the selected samples, but rather is continuing to be better conditioned to sample from the right part of the pre-training distribution here, which does a slightly better job when the samples are on topic (vs. random)
Wow, nice, thanks! :heart:
Our designers are wedded to Figma so I have to use it from time to time. I despise it. The other day I had some work to do on an old project designed in Sketch and it was an absolute joy. For a lot of things our developers end up taking stuff out of Figma and into Sketch just to be able to work in a pleasant app.

Help me doing a personal website with mkdocs
hi! ive been using material - mkdocs and i love it (i made this www.deepdeck.co). Now i want to make a personal website but i dont like the blog feature so far. Do you have any examples/plugins/other options to build it? (i like being static and hosted in git). thanks!
Exactly. Whether it's a person, a website, or a book, we have a ton of cues that give us some sort of intuitive reliability score. That reliability is essentially never going to be 100%. But, especially if we cross-check sources, we can start to have very high confidence that an answer is true--at least as far as anyone knows. (Or even that no one really knows the answer with any certainty.)

I've had ChatGPT return very serviceable "true" results and I've had ChatGPT return utter fiction.
I can relate.

A very specific profile means it is crafted for a certain person.
28mm is actually common. That's what I have on my brand-new Giant TCR (which is to say: an aggressive, go-fast road bike).

> A better measure is the 0 to 80% time with a 350kW charger. That'll actually tell you how long you can expect to wait at a charger. But that's also not as flashy a number as "1000 miles per hour charging!"

No it's not, because different cars have different capacities. This measure standardises that.
Thank you! I’ll look into remaking the mosaic with the food photos and add some stats too!

And yes and Amen to preparing not when hungry. That’s what trips me up most of the time.

Congrats on breaking the habit!
If you want a simple website for, say, a local business, then a service like Squarespace or Shopify probably does what you want. Programming ability may not be necessary.

If you want something much more custom than that built from scratch, then I strongly doubt that you can get it done for $1-2k competently no matter where the developer is located.

To use a (somewhat poor) analogy, there’s a big difference in price between pre-built cabinets from IKEA and custom-built cabinets that exactly fit your space using your preferred materials and finishes even though both are just basic wooden boxes with doors that open.

AI has not impacted developer wages yet as far as I know. Pay expectations may have fallen a bit, but that’s got more to do with layoffs caused by interest rate increases.
It's owned by a capital management company and it will eventually be given the capital treatment and sold to someone else, probably with very different motives.

Sure, if you ignore the n in n=10000, multiplication is O(1). But the same is true for e.g. heapsort--all lists of 10000 items take asymptotically the same amount of time to sort.

But that's a strained interpretation of complexity, and not very useful.
Yes, that was what I remember. I think having bin own the binaries was a kind of security check for suids. Avoids having a suid on a root owned binary. Plus you could use bin to install programs instead of root. Restricting who has root access.

But I suppose it did not work out as people were hoping and only added to admin costs.

Still, I was a bit annoyed when I noticed everything was owned by root as opposed to bin when I first installed Slackware decades ago. But I got over it :)
I've been using 3M plugs for 4/5 years and while it's not super confortable it's much better than not sleeping or be woken up 3 hours earlier than intended (the joy of appartments..).
Also most of the dirt in the ears comes from oils in the head that get on the pillow, so in my experience they get less dirty than before.
Yes. Difficult doesn't mean good.

Yeah, idea of country B inserting enough controllable voters into country A is likely very difficult in reality if A has a sufficiently large population. Could be possible for smaller nations. The question there becomes the economic or strategic value that nation might offer in order to justify this type of action.

For example, a bunch of countries in Europe have populations between 5 and 10 million. The question there becomes: How many controllable voters would you have to inject into such nations in order to have degree (not absolute) or control in elections at various levels, from local to national? I don't know enough about their voting systems to be able to guess.

Obviously, as you get to nations with tens of millions of people this becomes harder and harder to execute.

The part that isn't hypothetical is the idea that citizens who have left nation A can cast votes remotely and affect those living in country A (at a local to national level) while not suffering the consequences of their votes. This is real today.

Obviously, if expats from A are obligated to pay taxes in A while living abroad, they should have the right to vote. A deeper look is likely required because the rule might have them paying zero taxes (they have to file, yet credits make it zero) or the voting ought to be restricted to the kinds of taxes they pay. For example, they get to vote on national elections only and can't vote on state/provincial elections.

I know many people living abroad for decades. None of they pay taxes. Some of them vote. And that's the point. They are completely disconnected from the consequence of their vote. I don't think that's right.
But people absolutely have extracted individual source images out of the models by not even particularly careful prompting.

If uint8_t is a char type (and invariably it is), then it is fully defined.

Similarly, it is perfectly safe to cast a correctly aligned uint8_t* to uint64_t* and dereference it as long as you originally stored an uint64_t into it (or the compiler can't prove you didn't). Remember aliasing UB is always on derefencing with the wrong dynamic type, not on casting pointers.

This might make me finally embrace powershell

Yeah, I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with it. But I actually have that with all shells out there. I don't know if it's just me or the shells, or (the most likely I think): a bit of both. But PS is available out of the box and using objects vs plain text is a major win in my book, and even though I still don't know half of the syntax by heart it feels less of an endless fight than other shells. And since I use the shell itself for rather basic things and for the rest only for tools (like shown here), we get along just fine.
> I absolutely loathe it's ideas on error handling.

Its idea is simply that error is just state like any other. I find that to be quite reasonable – and something I miss dearly when I work in other languages which try to get overly fancy to try and hide that fact. There is nothing special about errors. The machine certainly has no concept of errors. Why does it need special constructs?

Bad practices like assuming T and error are dependent do break the ideas, but a language can only hold the hands of poor developers so much. Someone determined enough to write bad code will do so in any language.

Realistically, if there is a handling problem, it is a problem for all values of all kinds. Every single problem one can point to about handling errors is also a problem when handing names, email addresses, random numbers, etc. To single it out as an error handling problem specifically is flawed.

> I have quite strong feelings on the subject that aren't fit for polite discussion.

I'd love to hear more. You won't hurt my feelings. Getting worked up about a programming language discussion is illogical.
Show HN: Pivots and millions later, I built a lambda to start WhatsApp chats
I've been working on my startup for years to no avail. Raised VC money and burned through millions - now built a simple service that lets you add a "chat to us" button (or can hook to your forms) to launch a WhatsApp chat.

The key here is that the button can open chats with different WhatsApp numbers based on rules you can set.

These rules can be based on the website visitor's geography, language, time spent on your site or even your business's office hours.

Can also hook onto existing forms and use form fields in the rules too.

Try it out on our site by clicking the chat to us button and send over a message if you'd like to get this setup on your site.
That's half the battle.

Now the real fight begins. We need every message sent or received by the politicians who supported this absurd proposal to be public record. The public's need to stop abuses of power outweighs privacy rights they do not value.
the key difference is that the american can choose to live in the city and enjoy these cutesy activities. in a lot of european countries, owning a home seems extremely difficult without inheriting, so they have no choice but to rent

Trying it out in https://copy.sh/v86/?profile=kolibrios , it's also clearly a love letter to Windows 95 in particular. That could be an unstated goal here, create a very particular PC experience under very particular constraints.

I don't know anything about the creator but it's very possible that this kind of work was actually their career in the 90s. Most of the people who built those experiences are still around today, and not all of them have the visibility of Dave's Garage.

It's incredible how much work was done. Maybe this should be an internet curiosity like how TempleOS has become, though Terry's personality was a unique factor.
This is the 3rd big rebuild of the site.

Even though the website uses the same tech stack as the electron app I decided to hire a sub contractor to build it, that way, my dev energy could stay concentrated on building features. I think we found each other on LinkedIn by chance. They reached out to me because I sounded human. Ha!

At the time, the design was inspired by the gradients on the stripe website.

I do most of my own illustrations using Sketch. The logo design is mine. My last name is Larson and my mother (Linda) used to sign her name with two big capital cursive L. The alliteration of Label LIVE and Linda Larson were fun… and as I tried to sketch the flow of a label through the printer I just stumbled on a cursive L that had invoked my own warm fuzzies. So here we are!

The name choice was mostly looking at TLD name availability for the word “label” and .live appeared. That was pure luck.
> So the employer has a financial inventive program to encourage people to stay in the organization long term

That's not correct. The financial incentive program of vesting is designed to keep the cost of actually paying people down, plain and simple. If you're interviewing, I would encourage you to pretend the stock compensation doesn't exist. I've had offers of $60k actual cash with $300k stock with a five year cliff and my next question is always "what's the average tenure here?" If they look uncomfortable, I know they know it's a golden poison pill.

Consider the fact that Amazon, for instance, won't let you pay for EC2 instances in stock options at your company. They darn well know what they're doing.
Well, your website is generally what you may create first at the beginning of a project. It has your tagline, your brand colors and some key visuals.
This tool takes those and creates a video out of it. And that's an asset that is much more sharable than a website link.
As always it's nigh-impossible to fully read a German word so I have to skim through it: "Schei ... se".

> Project Veritas is an American far-right activist group founded by James O'Keefe in 2010. The group produces deceptively edited videos of its undercover operations, which use secret recordings in an effort to discredit mainstream media organizations and progressive groups.Project Veritas also uses entrapment to generate bad publicity for its targets, and has propagated disinformation and conspiracy theories in its videos and operations.

> In 2009, Project Veritas associates published misleading videos that depicted ACORN employees providing advice on concealing illegal activity, causing ACORN to shut down after losing funding; the Attorney General of California cleared ACORN of wrongdoing in 2010, and the associates paid a total of $150,000 in settlements to an ACORN employee who sued for defamation. NPR CEO Vivian Schiller resigned in 2013 after Project Veritas released a deceptively edited video portraying another NPR executive making controversial comments about the Tea Party movement and NPR's federal funding. Project Veritas unsuccessfully attempted to mislead The Washington Post into publishing false information about the Roy Moore sexual misconduct allegations in 2017; the Post won a Pulitzer Prize after uncovering the operation.

> The organization's board fired O'Keefe in February 2023 for what it said was financial malfeasance with donor money.

Yours will not/did not click or grind because it is not being used. You owned effectively a rear wheel drive truck with a switch/lever to make it 4x4. 99.9% of the time those trucks are in RWD mode, which means your cv shaft is not being used. It just free spins at most, transmitting no torque.

I don't see anything wrong with having only a handful of friends. However, the "find my future partner online and have the rest work itself out" seems pretty speculative.

You might find volunteer work a way to ease into a more social way of life. This would not have to be full-on social. Food banks and community kitchens also need people to pick up supplies, wash dishes, and sweep floors.
Shkreli has been treated pretty unfairly by the media
It's typically more internal culture and politics that gets in the way. That is hard to consult or contract around.

> so I'm not sure why we're judging it on a criteria they don't care about.

It's not judging, but wondering and regretting that architecture independence was not a requirement. Personally, I have started in the late nineties to free my projects from the dependencies (or rather "shackles") of specific platforms and vendors. This has more than paid off. Otherwise, a large part of my many years of work would have been lost.
> Good employees? It's literally gaslighting people. One day they're pulled aside and told they're not performing well enough and given a PIP. The PIP usually isn't designed to help them get performance up - it's creating a paper trail to manage them out.

Exactly this. The PIP process also protects the company from wrongful termination suits and oftentimes serves as evidence against paying out unemployment claims. Rightly or wrongly applied, telling employees that they're underperforming solely serves as creating a papertrail to push someone out.

@Vector is counterproductive for cases like vec2f, since it tries to force data into SIMD registers even when it would be more efficient to leave it in normal registers. In fact I've wondered in the past if Zig might end up slower than C for graphics code, if people misuse @Vector to get normal math operators back. For that reason I never use @Vector unless I already know what SIMD intrinsics I'd be writing in C.

This is neat and all, but in my experience in the northeast, the bottleneck isn't the car, it's the fast charger itself.

I've done EA, EvGo, and sometimes ChargePoint with one of the cars in the upper half of this list. I never see the 250 or 350kW fast chargers go above 120-160.

The bottleneck isn't the car, it's the charger network. I'd like to see them test the various networks at different times of day with different occupancy rates and tell people what they would really expect.
Thank you. I will use this.
