When I was working on a company that ALL people were in one same office - it sometimes made a difference as I could just stand up from my desk and go to a coworker that I needed to do/fix some stuff.

When the same company started to grow - and had multiple offices across entire Poland - we started to communicate each other with IM/email/teleconferences/...

This is the part when staying in the office was pointless as I/we needed to use IM/email/teleconferences/... anyway - so it does not matter if You do it from home or from the office.

Many manager do not understand that.

I work daily from home and I am not going back to office because of waste of my time (and money). If - for some reason - current employer would try to force me to get back - I am out of company in minutes and getting other job in more mature employer.

I think they're making the final ultimate versions of the ICE cars while they still can.
I mean you get how nonsensical that argument is right? We don’t have solar cars either. Cars do not generate power. We’re talking about generation not consumption. We need electric cars for consumers and that’s orthogonal to how we generate electricity. The reason is that electric cars can take their energy needs equally well from energy generated by a coal plant, a nuclear power plant or solar. That’s why electrification is absolutely needed for climate change. It’s got massive difficulties obviously because it’s a huge load on the power grid (today’s grids wouldn’t be able to handle if everyone started driving electric). And electrification should also be used as a feedback mechanism where charging cars are used as distributed batteries to help solve the storage problem for renewables and that unfortunately isn’t happening on any real level.

I think we probably also need hydrogen fuel cells for fleet cars / trucking because they can eat the logistical and safety costs of storing hydrogen (hydrogen fuel cell consumer cars are a pipe dream IMO because you simply can’t have refilling stations scattered around everywhere - it’s massive explosion risk in population dense areas with untrained people dealing with it).

But if we’re talking about grid energy production, nuclear is the only real path for solving climate change. It sucks but that’s the reality.
Unless you are cashing long held stock in amounts > ~$300k / year in long term capital gains, you aren’t going to feel this excise tax very much (and probably not at all), since it only applies in excess > $250k. This is purely aimed at very rich techies, and they can easily avoid it by moving and then cashing out stock (it doesn’t follow you like it does in CA).
Why would someone use SQL, famously bad language, as a query language for git, famously badly designed CLI?
Ah, that explains quite a bit. Thank you for that bit of insight, I knew about Ford SP for the racing world and crate engines but never realized that the division ran much deeper than that.

A friend of mine spooned a Ford V8 crate engine into a Midget and the result is as much fun as it is dangerous. Also the shortest clutch throw on any car I've ever seen, from fully engaged to fully free in about 1" of travel on the pedal. The firewall had to be cut out and the engine lives for a considerable portion in what used to be the interior :)
In your inference project example, what examples do you place in Getting Started vs common usage examples? In general, where is the best place for usage examples - alongside the methods they use, or in an independent section?

I like the part about contributing to the public good.

There are 3 kinds of actions:

Good actions increase the public good. Helping a child is an example of this.

Neutral actions do not change the public good. Frivolously blowing money you earned is an example of this.

Negative actions decrease the public good. Enforcing artificial scarcity is an example of this.

Ask HN: Do you have a list of Roughtime servers?
The Cloudflare article from 2018: "Roughtime: Securing Time with Digital Signatures" [1] presented a very comprehensive article but it seems that Google and Cloudflare Roughtime servers don't work currently. Do you know of a list of available servers, mainly from well known organizations? I just found https://roughtime.se/ but have not tested it yet.

There is an old question "Roughtime servers list?" from 2016 about this in the mailing list [2].

So then all our parts are "falling" together constantly through this expanding space? I say falling, but I understand it is other local forces besides gravity.

I struggle to wrap my mind around what that means for concepts I learned long ago in college physics... what is an inertial frame of reference then? What about the speed of light and relativistic effects?

I suppose the answer is back to the original statement that the effect is really only noticable at cosmological scales. Locally, it's well below any margin of error?
For me, the most amazing feature of hare is its commitment to long-term stability [0]. Backwards compatibility is universally acknowledged to be a good thing, but hare proposes a much more revolutionary idea: forward compatibility.

"A Hare program written on the day that 1.0 releases will still compile in 50 years on contemporary Hare compilers. In fact, a Hare compiler written on the same release date will compile new Hare programs 50 years from now. That’s something which hasn’t really been done before, and I’m looking forward to seeing it usher in a renewed commitment to stability and long-term reliability in the software ecosystem."

As arbitrary as the rest of the capitalist framework. These arbitraty constraints are interdependent though. So while you might be right you can not just drop copyright (on whose existence the livelihood of a lot of people depends), but you will have to let go of thr whole assumption that the production of surplus value goes into private profits (or way above average incomes for that).
Something is telling me that this isn't as appealing to you as getting your ressources for free by the expropriation of intellectual property, is it?
There is very little original "old growth" forest anywhere in the Continental US. It is usually in small parts of hard to log areas like around small streams, soft ground blocking how to remove the logs and certain slopes and hills.

> Musk is certainly qualified to understand what "all design and engineering" means

I'd say there is a mountain of evidence from SpaceX and Tesla that's not actually true and that he has little to no understanding of anything related to engineering, nor the ability to manage engineering teams effectively; I think he's surrounded by people that are actually talented and do a lot to scrambling to make stuff happen and fix his messes.

The huge 'box' his demanded his team put together, to rescue people from a cave with passages so narrow diver could not wear tanks on their backs? To me that demonstrates he has no ability to analyze a problem at high level and correctly apply the engineering resources available to him.

Examples:

* Dishy, which had basic design flaws, such as a permanently attached power/data cable that if damaged meant you had to purchase an entire new unit

* Hyperloop.

* SpaceX's repeated failures, which they spin as "it's okay, we meant to fuck up, we got data!", including the disaster where his insistence on launching on 4/20 resulted in substantial vehicle damage (5-8 rockets failed), heavy damage to the facility, a 380 acre wide debris field (so severe you could see debris landing in the ocean from an aerial shot well outside the launch danger zone), a forest fire, and heavy damage to a car (parked within the "hazard area.")

* Musk's repeated production-related issues at Tesla, and his insistence on automating as much as possible even when experts in their field who work for him tell him it's not possible

* Repeated demonstrations of engineering incompetence at Telsa. The Model S drivetrain units used to be disposable and would be quietly replaced during routine service at anywhere from 10-30k miles. They still can't make a Tesla with proper body panel gaps. People have found bits of wood/wire/duct tape holding their Tesla's guts together. For years Model S's couldn't be driven in heavy rain or through large puddles without water ending up in the drive units. Windows randomly shattering while cars are parked in driveways and garages. Etc
This only seems plausible if most B2B YC companies in this set are still very early, because scaling B2B requires getting big companies to pay way more than a YC founder could ever stomach on a contractual basis.
Betrand Meyer is coming for you... ;-)

He's not, he would respect your opinion, but design by contract was on of the key foundations of Eiffel, and I have a soft spot for Eiffel.
Come on. I know what early 2000s Haskell was like. It's a slim minority view even on the Haskell reddit that it was/is production-ready for anything, and it certainly wasn't useful for networking and had a lot of other significant issues... and it would be the premiere Hindley-Milner language available at the time. It is missing a ton of things that Haskell programmers would consider basic necessities now, even in the language itself, to say nothing of libraries. Haskell slipped from research language to production-ready for at least many tasks very gradually, so it's hard to put a date on it, but that date is definitely late 200x at the earliest, and mid-2010s is probably a lot more realistic.

I had to use it for a c++ project and it was one of the biggest waste of time and frustrating moments of my computing career, there were constant breakages due to glibc mismatches, Nvidia drivers and whatnot, and getting an host IDE to have semantic understanding of the paths , etc... necessary for normal completions and stuff was nigh impossible.
So many nuclear proponents, including a large number of people here on HN, make the mistake of looking at relative costs and capabilities of power generation sources from 10 or even 5 years ago and then forming positions based on that. As the article points out, this is just straight-up bad thinking.

Any new nuclear project is realistically going to take a minimum of 6 years to reach commercial production, compared to about 2 for a large-scale renewable + storage project. So any honest evaluation needs to look at the trends and project them out to 2030, and then form a conclusion about which is the better choice. In most (not all) cases, renewable + storage wins easily.
You might want to also check out memos. Nothing like Drupal or WP, but for saving notes/entries/memos and having a very simple system to make some posts public, some only shared with a small group, and some completely private, it's a very elegant system. https://github.com/usememos/memos
"Famously bad" is an opinion cloaked in adverbial authority. Plenty of people like both, and even if they don't like them, they think better in one vs the other.
Fusion will be practical long before the problems of fission are solved. Obviously photovoltaic is amazing and batteries are on a beautiful cost curve to help us with storage and there's alway pumped water, etc

But fusion will take us to the stars, and depending on how small it can be, may help in lots of other applications
The line you quoted is clear, my bad. The example by itself doesn't really disambiguate.
New study confirms: Many adults opt for child-free life without regret
Even if you never intend to attempt a project like this, there is something valuable to be gained by reading narratives like this: humility. Not many folks could pull this off. I sure could not. It’s a good reality check.
Down voted for spitting facts, apparently. What have we descended to...

Germany actively lobbied against French efforts to push nuclear power across Europe (which would actually be beneficial for the entire French nuclear ecosystem, including its massive state owned enterprise). Germany actively sabotaged that in favor of Nordstream and Russia, with Gerhard Schroder, the former German Chancellor , even having a personal stake in that project (he ended up on the Gazprom board right after leaving office, and is currently a Russian shill).
Many car brands have cult like followers who are insanely loyal to supporting. Some of these brands like Porsche, BMW, Corvettes, and Mustangs have a long history cars that people will spend insane amount of money to buy new or restore old. The 911 if you've never drove one is just simply a fun car to drive anywhere but one could pull up to a race track for a few laps and it's a very capable car.

Porsche is really good at marketing over the past 20+ years producing limited editions of car driving up the value. The sport model here is just that with dealers adding $100k to $200k additional markup fees because the numbers produced are so low, more demand than supply. The 911 is a great car to drive, fairly reliable as a daily driver and very popular with c-level buyers. On the track it's benchmark which many compare themselves so while this sport model is more than capable for 99%, the Porsche GT3 and GT3RS models are even more expensive with bigger performance upgrades. Porsche has zero problems selling these cars as fast as they can make them.
Study: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0283301 ("Prevalence, age of decision, and interpersonal warmth judgements of childfree adults: Replication and extensions")

Abstract: Childfree individuals, who are also described as ‘childless by choice’ or ‘voluntarily childless’, have decided they do not want biological or adopted children. This is an important population to understand because its members have unique reproductive health and end-of-life needs, and they encounter challenges managing work-life balance and with stereotypes. Prior estimates of childfree adults’ prevalence in the United States, their age of decision, and interpersonal warmth judgements have varied widely over time and by study design. To clarify these characteristics of the contemporary childfree population, we conduct a pre-registered direct replication of a recent population-representative study. All estimates concerning childfree adults replicate, boosting confidence in earlier conclusions that childfree people are numerous and decide early in life, and that parents exhibit strong in-group favoritism while childfree adults do not.
If it's for sport, they should not be road legal and only allowed on race tracks. As a cyclist in the Bay Area, nothing is more annoying that all the sports car owners speeding up to and on skyline during the weekends.
I wonder how geothermal tends to fare with lots of seismic activity which Japan has
When CI was coined in the mid-'90s, they were talking at length* about these dudes' predecessors doing the same things in the same ways. So no, they were never good.

Funny. I have the exact opposite experience. Type hints tell me what the code actually does and what kind of arguments functions and methods actually expect.

It's all sunshine and rainbows if you work with well documented libraries, but there are tons of python libs out there that just use *kwargs as their function signatures with maybe - if you're lucky - a list of actual keywords (no types or description though).

Those are hell to work with, because the IDE can't tell you what's going on. So you either have to delve into sample code (and hope that's still up-to-date) or look at the source code to figure out what the heck is going on.

So no, I personally don't find type hints useless at all - especially for libraries. Readability OTOH is subjective and mostly just a matter of what you're used to, anyway.
I don’t agree with all of his points either but I think what he meant by that was a separate, semicolon’d statement that the interpreter is slow (not that typing is slowing it down). I think he’s saying that types are useful for performance optimizations in other languages but Python is not meant to be that.
That is a pretty good idea! The brushes will last a long time. Luckily now the rise of wireless phone charging means you can get kits like [1] or [2].

It makes me wonder how different LIDAR vendors manage it.

That was my first thought when developed tinnitus, tumor or something pressing in there. In my case it was actually related to labyrinthitis, I did get an MRI and it was my first one, oh man did I get anxious inside the tube, I feel like it's good therapy for learning how to relax hehe. Anyways, Sometimes the tinnitus loudness gets worse and sometimes get's quiet, I still haven't detected what makes it change. However! recently after getting Covid It's been louder more often which tells me maybe my nervous system was affected, idk
The reasoning is that the model weights are a lot more like a build artifact that can't be easily scrutinized. Demanding training data to be public is analogous to demanding source code. Sources like Wikipedia are just one kind of input.
> It's useless, clutters up the code and decreases readability.

I submit that dataclasses refute these claims handily.
> since there isn't a need for it to be a right yet

My time is worth quite a bit for me, as is the hygiene of what goes on in my skull and advertisers are way too good at making people that think they are immune to that shit do their bidding. You too. Adblocking is a mental health thing, not a commercial thing.
I think you missed the point: without storage nuclear only gets to 70% of the grid, and 31% of the total energy demand. With enough storage to displace oil and gas demand, nuclear has no advantage. It's a pity that France never spent the money to migrate the non-grid portion of their economy to electricity, but that was probably a simple matter of the economics of nuclear never really panning out.
In absolute terms we've accomplished very little in 20 years. But 2023 is way ahead of 2003 in three significant ways.

1) EV's have a TCO lower than gasoline vehicles.
2) Renewable power generation is cheaper than fossil power generation.
3) Heat pumps are cheaper than fossil heating

In 2003 nobody ever thought that we would ever get to this stage. Everybody assumed that we'd need massive subsidies to switch to carbon free sources. They were hopeful that once we got to mass scale rollout that the prices would be competitive but getting below parity was seen as completely unrealistic.
Fusion has fission's biggest problem, which is the creation of large amounts of low-grade nuclear waste in the form of activated, radiation weakened reactor parts.
This is excellent, thank you!!
Exactly!

The North Stream (2) also indicated that EU wanted to trade with Russia. Looking back it might have been foolish, but hindsight is 20/20.

A democratic Russia, with close ties to the rest of Europe, would have meant so much for both the people of Russia and Europe.

In the end, we can be very happy that the system of democracy seems to work better than autocracy, else we would all be screwed.
> In most (not all) cases, renewable + storage wins easily.

We don't live in a free market.

As the article notes, coal towns - among other places - seem to be excited by SMNR.

I can easily see politicians earmarking billions for old coal plants to become SMNRs even if it doesn't make sense financially, and putting windmills or solar or whatever would be more economical, create more jobs, etc.

Where there's a political will, there's a way.

Economics only matter so much.

Think of the amount of value that can be created in a private company by the government overpaying a bit for electricity for SMNRs to be built.

When you're looking at that amount of wealth, someone is going to buy the right politicians.

This is how the system works. Not what actually makes physical sense.
Last time I checked, Carbon Ads don't use JavaScript, although it is not a targeted advertising business. As for analytics, there is a considerable amount of personally identifying information you can collect exclusively with User-Agent headers in your sites' requests, and of course the age-old technique of tracking pixels still works in most cases.
I mean, they're neoreactionaries. Remember how Andreesen literally recommended the co-author of the original Fascist Manifesto as someone we should all be looking to. It's the same as the proto-Fascism (to speak very precisely) of the Italian Futurists: forward to an authoritarian future with technology.

Me: I am an experienced software engineer, with decades of experience over multiple stacks, operation systems and technologies. My primary focus lately has been distributed data processing pipelines and distributed network APIs. I have also been working with linked data, graph databases and blockchains/cryptocurrencies lately. Looking for a position of Senior Software Engineer/Software Architect/Tech Lead or equivalent.

I like learning new things and new challenges, and creating systems from design to implementation and maintenance stages, so if your current stack does not match my experience but you think you could use a good experienced backend engineer, please don't hesitate to contact me.
I wish these sorts of studies quantified how much more useful they are than the last model. There's a lot of papers out there where they reproduce some finding from an older method or dataset, but use the new hot method or dataset. Very few of them go ahead and do power comparisons between old and new, to see if it was even worth all the trouble and by how much.
Lol classic cyclist comment
Fission will be practical (now) long before the problems of fusion are solved (maybe never).
Make an acrylic cube or a sphere, put inside a projection surface that's able to rotate around one axis. Pump the air out for it to be silent and to be able to use a really thin sheet. Spin it with an external magnetic field. Project the distortion-corrected and spin-synchronized image to it with 2-3 projectors under different angles. Bang, you have your own Star Wars display that's entirely doable by a hobbyist.
