I think crucial over the medium-term is the comparative difficulty of decarbonising building heating and home-to-work transport at scale, through what technologies that is achieved, and the energy intensity of those technologies. It also depends on house size and grid design.

My understanding is that the annual kWh energy consumption of a heat pump will be slightly greater that an electric vehicle. But most two-adult families each have their own car, doubling the energy demand. It also require a lot more energy to build an electric vehicle than a heat pump, and requires more scarce minerals - with their own security and environmental problems. But then if people commute by walking, cycling or train, that's a very different calculation.
This shouldn’t be voted down. This problem, in the more general case, was inherent at the system level with the persistent and PARC’s immersive Smalltalk and Interlisp environments on the D-Machines. It was much better to have full source you could reload into a fresh environment.
Very interesting take I can only agree with.

By any chance, would you have some free time to exchange on the matter?

I'm on the other side of the industry, and I'm trying to gain better knowledge of distribution trends nowadays.
Sure, since we do have TLS on the web card companies can require we use it. That doesn't mean that they would just disallow all online transactions if we did no have easy encryption available. Security is after all never the primary concern - if it was you would not interacting with other people and computers at all.
Tesla could always shift most of their production to the ex-“socialist” Eastern/Central European which don’t have strong labor movements and lower wages (of course lacking infrastructure would make it harder).
Not only forecast need error bars. Every statistic needs error bars. But even then most people interpret error bars wrongly, see e.g. https://errorbars.streamlit.app/
I'm in favor of privacy, and I'm willing to go more out of my way to not share than the vast majority of people, but I'm also in favor of individual choice, and I can't think of a privacy model that would disallow other people from sharing their information just because you have some matching information.
I liked A Man Called Otto. It wasn't phenomenal, but it definitely wasn't garbage. I haven't seen A Man Called Ove, though.
That's one of the reasons why custom keyboards are in demand: you can do all the remapping on firmware level (QMK, etc) and they will work in any application and any OS.

The times when I actually bother getting up off my butt and picking up a pen, I do notice a lot of productivity.. almost entirely because you can't click away to Facebook every minute, and it doesn't show you anything that reminds me of the fact I could be scrolling dumb crap.

I spend a lot of time thinking about each individual letter and stroke to have any chance of legibility though, and was very slow even when I was practicing heavily as a teen(I heard GEDs were subconsciously scored based on penmanship, even though they're not supposed to, and wanted to give myself an advantage).

There's also a small security issue, Google can probably read Google Keep, but people I actually know can read paper if I leave it behind, so I wouldn't want to use it for any kind of private journal, unless it was something that never left the house.

It can also be lost and there's no instant sync, plus there's no reminder feature, so I wouldn't want to use it for anything critical, that's just making myself a single point of failure in my own life, even if the paper itself is reliable.

The productivity gains are noticable enough that it definitely does seem like there's real value there though, despite the extra work.

If I get stuck on a problem, I pull out my Boogie Board(Not quite paper but great for throwaway notes).

I also like to use my A5 binder notebook in meetings, especially if I'm new to a group, or it's a casual discussion that's not highly technical, almost as part of my wardrobe.

It gives transparency that I'm actually paying attention, not scrolling Hacker News, as opposed to a screen only I can see, and it doesn't break immersion if we're talking about a project that doesn't involve tech, like building something that's meant to feel old fashioned.
You can have perfectly fine conditions without a collective agreement. The conflict is not about the conditions, it is about power.
The assumption is that unlike minorities, indigenous Europeans are represented by their governments. As Europe becomes more diverse, that may become less true and it will be necessary to ask them directly.
Well technically, Intel and AMD both use the regular system RAM for their integrated graphics VRAM, but I see what you mean.

Show HN: Pryingdeep – New dark web OSINT tool
Pryingdeep is an OSINT dark web tool that aims to extract intelligence specifically from the dark web. However you can also use it to crawl clearnet websites if you wish.

Quick overview of the current features:

- Email Search

- Wordpress Search

- PGP keys and Certificate Search

- 3 different cryptowallets (XMR, BTC, ETH)

- Built in exproter (JSON) with features like built in criteria (e.g LIKE keyword) offset, limit, and etc

- Install command

- Tor docker container and docker-compose for the whole project

- Highly customizable crawler as it is based of the goColly framework(e.g multiple urls as an entrypoint, maxdepth, etc)

That is currently it. I want to say that, the tool is not perfect, but i want to find some community members who will actually find the tool useful and get some feedback on what should be improved, so I really hope that by posting it here, somebody out there might find this project useful.

Thank you guys, if anybody reads this.

Many B2B organizations have a tendency to overlook the potential of paid social media advertising. The perception is often that social media is more of an upper-funnel channel or lacks the power to drive strong business intent. This article will challenge that notion and emphasize why paid social media is crucial for an integrated, multi-channel B2B marketing approach.
They'll try and fail. Probably repeatedly. This is much bigger then them. There's a new reality where successful companies no longer cling to the past of overpriced office real estate that is populated by overpriced staff that commutes to town for hours every day.

That was stupid before covid and there are now plenty of companies that grew past that and no longer need that. The next logical step here is that investors get the hint that their investments spending most of their money on SFO real estate (housing and offices) is not great from an ROI point of view. That too was true before covid but now much more obviously so as there are now a lot of companies with a lot less expenses on that front and a lot more runway. Paying people extra just to show up in an office isn't going to be the smart move here.

Not only that. Tesla's are typical American products. If you look at the electrical use of cars Tesla's are the most power hungry electric cars there are. Up until the Tesla 3 all other electrical cars where more efficient. See: https://ev-database.org/compare/efficiency-electric-vehicle-...
My hot take: when D intends to compete with C++, having an opt-out GC is a deadly disadvantage.

It is difficult to prove to the performance-oriented people that GC'ed languages can be performant, and years of JVM stop-the-world GC didn't help to improve the reputation of GCs either.

Even though D has @nogc, non-D programmers would probably have serious reservations as to whether the ecosystem is split between GCed and GCless, and how much that split would affect them and their project.

IMO, Rust did it quite right in this regard by making GC opt-in (with rust-gc) - although borrow checking is an imperfect way of doing safe memory management (eg. cyclic references), the fact that it attempts to be a "safer C++ at no runtime cost" certainly has pulled some people over.
Except most American automakers besides Tesla seem to have very strong unions. Which are also possibly more effective at maximizing their members wages than the unions in Europe.
Most Eastern European cities are safe. They don't have big immigration, either.
Yeah, was looking to see if this comment existed. Sao Paolo feels like one of the richest cities in the world surrounded by one of the poorest cities in the world. I've been to more than 50 countries and hundreds of big cities, and Sao Paolo feels like it has the craziest gradient between rich and poor. I'm not even sure San Francisco would make the top 10.

(High up would be: Sao Paolo, Rio, Bangalore, Mexico City, Johannesburg, Riyadh, ...)

Reversible optical data storage below the diffraction limit (2023)
This really isn't true for much of Europe. There aren't 'dangerous areas' in Germany, Ireland or the UK, that compare to the extreme risk profile of skid row in LA or San Francisco, or the projects of many American cities. The degree of ghettoisation in the US, as well as of course the wealth disparity, outstrips anything in most of Western Europe.

Yes. We have special equipment for this. Under high pressure they shoot the cable through the ground so my garden remains untouched.
There is some life in Rails, but new greenfield rails projects are rare. It is mostly legacy stuff now.

The ecosystem is slowly fading away. Big industrial libs are still good, but a lot of smaller projects are abandonware, last updated in 18-19.

I think a more impressive country is Singapore, which has no natural resources, but projects well above its weight.

I think its location is a natural resource by itself?
The collective agreements in Sweden are pretty much a win-win between workers and employers. It is something that most of the industry and the unions care about. Basically, the government has left to the industry and unions to agree on a lot of stuff that is decided by law in other countries. E.g. Sweden does not have a minimum wage. This system has led to much fewer costly conflicts and strikes compared to many other countries for almost a century.

That only happened in the first few weeks/months following the invasion, and since then people returned to calling them "Ruskie". The general consensus is that the name refers to the historical area of Ruthenia

"Reversible optical data storage below the diffraction limit" (2023) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41565-023-01542-9 :

> Abstract: Colour centres in wide-bandgap semiconductors feature metastable charge states that can be interconverted with the help of optical excitation at select wavelengths. The distinct fluorescence and spin properties in each of these states have been exploited to show storage of classical information in three dimensions, but the memory capacity of these platforms has been thus far limited by optical diffraction. Here we leverage local heterogeneity in the optical transitions of colour centres in diamond (nitrogen vacancies) to demonstrate selective charge state control of individual point defects sharing the same diffraction-limited volume. Further, we apply this approach to dense colour centre ensembles, and show rewritable, multiplexed data storage with an areal density of 21 Gb inch–2 at cryogenic temperatures. These results highlight the advantages for developing alternative optical storage device concepts that can lead to increased storage capacity and reduced energy consumption per operation.
The 1960s memory models of current programming languages were as much a problem as the OSes since since the benefits of persistent programming require slightly different thinking.

This reminds me of running Unix on the Cray X-MP. It worked, but was very slow since calling a function stalled these superpipelined machines designed to run FORTRAN really fast.
Nearly all of them as far as I understand. You disconnect it from the original iPhone mainboard and put it on a new iPhone mainboard.

> As a former criminal I wouldn't bother, its grand theft for something I cant sell for even $10

As a former criminal, if you couldn't sell a stolen iPhone for $10 you have shit connections and should get out of the robbery business and do other crimes instead.
That would be useful, but it wouldn't really replace RAM, or, if it did, we'd probably still wipe it every boot, to be in a known state.

Outside of some specialized database applications, having an entire program running right in persistent memory seems like a bad idea.

And even then, I'm assuming databases would still want strong separation between persistent stuff and stuff that can be restarted any moment, to minimize the surface area for problems to stay persistent in.
Doesn't Nvidia hold all the (literally/figuratively) chips here? If they told the US to screw off, wouldn't we see a huge migration of companies to Europe / other countries so they could purchase their GPUs?
Plenty of milk bars call them ukrainskie. Especially ones in Praga.

I’ve also noticed “pierogi kresowe” which is a reference to Kresy, a historical Polish region that includes Ruthenia, the origin of pierogi ruskie. I don’t recall ever seeing these before, so my guess is that the pierogi industry decided that Kresowe was a less controversial name to use.
FiDi?
I've eaten pierogi in Germany, Poland, Ukraine, and Russia, and the diversity and breadth of the dish makes them totally different than what you can find in Romania. I would say that colțunași are a subset of pierogi, since they're only filled with fresh cottage cheese filling and served only with sourcream (smântână). Also, I've encountered them only in the northern part of the country and nowhere else. So, I wouldn't say that we eat the same dish in Romania. Please let me know if you have found them in other parts of the country.
Tesla model Y is selling like cakes here in Belgium.
Lots of electric cars have waiting lists that can easily be a few months.
Tesla has no problems here. Ordered mine, got it one week later. Tesla Model Y is also still the one of the best in terms of price vs value.
Imho the only real competitors are the Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 at the moment, but the model Y has them beaten in numbers on almost every front.

The user experience of the Front end Cloud
My 2 year old laptop's fingerprint reader still doesn't work in Linux: Its native resolution is too high for the driver to handle, and somehow that's been an unfixable problem for years now.
FYI, the police is able to find criminals now by finding DNA sequences similarities with your relatives. Not saying this is good or bad, I am just saying you don't know the extent of the impact to your personal freedom when your relative's DNA is shared.
Mm, just sympathetic to your comment. The author tried to rebut objections to Fortran with "programmers need to be more disciplined." It sounded similar to your experience with poorly-written Javascript.

I'm not sure which other language Mr. Kohn referred to, though. Supposing it's COBOL, for example, that language has explicit sections for file data, variables, and such. Since Fortran lacked a "compilable organization scheme," he may have thought readers would object to a language where "one opened Notepad and vomited up funcs" (in a manner of speaking).

We sort of see the same in Javascript (or really many other languages): without tooling, or external guardrails--or even experience--there is not much in the way between the programmer and the program.

And we would agree that missing friction is sort of par for the course for dynamic languages. There is a tradeoff between (compiled) static typing versus typoing one's variable names. And--in the context of hacking, in terms of prototyping curiosity--advantages abound in having languages that fill this niche.

Okay, so now we circle back to the engineering bit. Employers appear to see value delivered in these bootcamp graduates. They may not see the travails of code review, the gnashing of teeth, and the general discontent on the part of folks who see programming as methodical, a sort of craftspersonship, to output something of rigor, performant, well-documented, and easy to extend & maintain.

Those principles may not be easily burdened in six weeks. Much of it is intangible, maybe self-actualized, with little mentorship to speak of. They are busy learning loops, lists, and--in the name of commercial expedience--assured that most issues are only a package or plugin away.

But surely not everyone is complaining of gatekeeping? For some, software has opened an immense portal to a lifetime of hitting walls and surmounting them. They can take their grit and perseverance, cast questions into the ether, and cobble working pieces.

Then that just leaves the complaints for complexity. Better tooling helps. Automated checks help. Business-enforced policies for code quality, security, and CI/CD help.

Even with all that, shenanigans abound. That part is more of a social issue, and something no amount of engineering is going to solve.
I'm not sure what to think about this. Leaving aside whether this trade war is a good idea, I think this is a really bad look from Nvidia. It's not a good look to be undermining US sanctions, at the end of the day the US has the power to basically entirely crush Nvidia's exports into China. Given that's the case it would have been a lot smarter to work with the US gov to figure out what was an acceptable level for the exports they do, rather than play these bullshit games and risk a punitive response. The US really isn't joking about these sanctions.
I think the real question is: where is the evidence that scientists find it mysterious? That doesn't need any sort of explanation, just a reference for a claim made by a commenter. As with the other commenter, I've heard about the mass divergence before, but never that anyone found it surprising.

> Branches are pointers to Commit objects

Nit: the data model has refs, which are pointer to objects.

Branches are the subset of refs in the special-cased heads/ namespace which should be pointing to commit objects.

And there’s also tags, which are the subset of refs in the special-cased tags/ namespace, which should be pointing to commit (“lightweight”) or tag (“annotated”) objects.
It is more insidious than that, as those programs are bundled alongside the driver in Windows Update.
> Are you forgetting the enormous amount of carbon emissions from commuting?

Or the large scale logistics to service, maintain, supply, and feed these metropolis': it's a centralized relic of a bygone era, and the sooner we accelerate WFH and actually frame it as way to counter-act climate change this will never gain traction. Succumbing to the landed gentry's will has been a story as old as feudalism itself, but this has to be something that must be collectively fought for.

I've lived in commercial buildings in a city cental, and at night or on Sundays when I was there entirely on my own all the heaters/ac heat pumps would still be going all day/night: and all the lighting and electronic devices plugged in were still whirring away. I got really drunk one night and lost my keys walking up the stairs (the elevator was still on just not accessible from my side of the building at night) and while trying to retrace my steps I realized how deafening how the sound of so many devices can be if you actually pay attention to it with no other ambient/background noise is there to mute it.
Please explain what parts have use without a mainboard and their relative worth. - We know for certain batteries (that are consumable anyway) do not go easily in, and screens are pretty close to being unviable too.

People keep claiming that iPhone parts are fungible in the context of repairs but I have been following iPhone repairs for a good chunk of the last decade and things are not looking great for aftermarket anything.

Watching StrangeParts on youtube conducting various iPhone mods has also given me the distinct impression that there really is not much value of anything in the second hand market here.

If there is no market value for parts then it follows that the black market (which already pays cents on the dollar) will not be paying anything at all.

This might be the one move stupider than starting this fight, an innovator's dilemma [1] own goal.

The Nordics are a high-income EV beachhead. Tesla has best-selling cars. This entire fight is currently intrigue. The risk is it metastasising into a political crisis. What makes that crisis a crisis is it threatens those sales. Decamping--in effect, surrendering--positively nukes them.

I felt thee same. 50+ countries, and the only place where I was genuinely scared? San Francisco. It looked like the intro of a dystopian scifi movie.
It actually works well for me. May you need to update it?
I agree. In general, european companies accepts unions, but in return requires its competitors are also be unionized. Tesla not being unionized is a problem for european car manufactorers as Tesla will have lower costs/more flexible work force.

Anyone know if the german Tesla factory is unionized?
This is so unbelievable on so many levels that it reeks of marketing. iPhone sales are declining.

I would expect a thief to make the best out of any stolen goods, not to return it, even more so after directly approaching the victims on the streets with guns in hands, which should already be a crime bad enough that stealing a phone should almost not matter.

Anyway the most important bit of information for me as an European is that nobody is terrified that in the US it is consider normal to be robbed by armed men like that.
