> Modern cars that have electrical issues cannot be fixed.

Some of it is just "volume" too. When you scale up the amount of wires and connections so much that formerly easy problems become impossible. Things like a somewhat buried wire getting some exhaust heat because a plastic retainer failed, or a squirrel getting into the engine compartment and chewing. You can sort that out in a car with dozens of circuits, but it's harder when there's hundreds.
Maybe. Recovering data on interstellar distances is hard.

Integrating a long time to see if there's a signal there above background levels is maybe not so hard (especially if it was intended for detection in this scenario).

The big issue for data recovery is energy per symbol. If you can integrate for hours, that can still be a lot of "special photons" (whether they're on a weird radio frequency or light wavelength).

I’ve had mine for a very long time. It started when I was in loud rock bands in my late teens and early 20s. However, it eventually went away completely on its own. It came raging back several years ago (I’m in my early 40s now) and is now constant. I’m not sure what started it again, but it could have been a very intense course of gentamicin after a kidney surgery that had some complications.

Honestly, it doesn’t bother me as much as some people. It’s just there. I would love for it to go away, but I kind of ignore it most of the time.
Almost guarantee that they aren't doing 25GBPS on the arm chip but on the dedicated ASIC.

I know for most of the Mikrotik platforms what gets offloaded to the ASIC and what gets handled by the CPU is a big deal in performance tuning and selecting the correct product for your use case.
"But hear me out: all the arguments against dynamic languages and dynamic typing systems were already there [in 2015]! Nothing new has been invented, nothing really has changed."

I think what changed is the static languages got a lot better. Static languages when Python was invented were awful. Now I can write very sensible code in static languages that looks almost as nice as dynamic code, while still carrying all the benefits of dynamic languages. That's what flipped the cost/benefit tradeoff for me; yeah, I'm personally a bit grumpy about Python just getting more and more complex, but if it was 2023 Python versus early 2000s static languages I'd still be using Python.

But that's not the choice I face.
They invented ActiveX object and the accompanying XmlHttpRequest that AJAX would later morph into, and then change the X part (XML) to JSON.

While it was innovative, I would argue it's made the Web worse, given the impact of Javascript and surveillance on the Web.
Ask HN: Anyone interested to join our next 8-week goal-based cohort?
Hi everyone, a few months ago I made a reaching-out post[1] and happily found several like-minded people :) 5 of us just recently completed a 6-week "cohort" that was similar in principle to a tech-based mastermind group[2] - we each set a goal and met for 30 minutes once a week to report progress, ask questions, and give feedback. It was great!

We are now recruiting for our next cohort, to start in a week or two. Ideally we're looking for a few people who have ambitious but achievable goals and are able to meet for 30 minutes once a week for 8 weeks. Missing a few meetings is fine, and it's totally free and no-commitment. If you are interested in joining or have questions, please respond here or shoot me an email (address in my profile).

Thanks!

It 2020 being a warm body was enough to get you a job. But in this market there will be a dozen people with directly applicable experience applying as well, those people will get the first calls back.
Very basic explanation here, you will only need the visualization powers of high school physics:

Most gas that approaches a black hole does a gravitational slingshot and escapes.

This paper proves that the majority of escape trajectories eventually return to the black hole (effectively multiple attempts at getting absorbed). This has long been an assumption for running low-fidelity statistical modeling but it is now proven that the assumption is valid and that therefore the models are (mostly) valid.

LLM-Powered Human-Robotic Interactions
Just an anecdote, but I recently used LLM's as part of learning helmfile/helm/k8s. Mostly i used the LLM to help me find the right documentation. I know what concept I'm looking for, but i don't know what they call it in these systems. I suppose critically I never really asked it to write code for me, I asked it to help me find the concepts to read documentation about.

I haven't actually tried copilot so I can't comment directly on that, but I have found the general space of LLM's to be useful.
What are your preferred typed languages?
The Discord app is a bit janky though, it’s not too bad but text entry is weird on iOS in ways that I can’t quite recall but are definitely non-standard. I did work with RN for several years though and I do still think it can be a great choice.
After many years studying Japanese history and culture, I'm still amazed at how determined they are to power their country with fuel that must all be imported.

There is no petroleum, and no uranium in Japan.

They're one of the worlds hottest geothermal locations, and have very little deployed.

They have the lowest adoption of electric vehicles of any first world country.

After the Fukushima meltdown, the gov offered incentives to install solar, but within a few years all of those incentives where cancelled.

They really seem determined to support whatever initialtive is being pushed by US military and heavy industries, meaning of course petro, and barring that nuclear. Solar and wind generation are almost non-existent, as well as modern advanced geothermal tech.
Why should LLM development proceed if the only way it can is by violating copyright?
If it is, that's still valid, because copyright exists only for its results. It isn't a natural right, but one created by the government "to promote the useful arts and sciences."

No one is seething. HN is filled with these low quality "js developer bad" comments these days. I have no idea what a "meme developer" is.
What advantages are there for AdGuard Home over Pi-hole?
yes it is an interesting read, however you should know that some of their "facts" are highly speculative and some were proven wrong in the last decade.
Yeah, right.

We had the capability to do pretty much this 60 years ago. Remember Concorde? And the way the Concorde flights were hamstrung? So much so that Concorde was restricted to just two routes: New York-London, and New York-Paris.

It wasn't a problem with technology that prevented this before, but pure politics.

What makes you think that things would be any more different this time?
Have you tried compiling software with a nix shell? It gets linked to the Nix store. Needless to say it was a frustrating revelation.
So.. you're not sure about Putin, but you're blindly confident that it must all be Someone Else's Fault somehow. That doesn't seem very rational.

The best thing to do is to start paying attention and to become sure about Putin.
Being savvy in a field does not correlate to making good decisions in said field, especially if rewards and incentives are not aligned.

Lots of tech people got their start on Google tech and don't mind ads. They're a strange breed of people who I guess just give into anything being pushed on them in tech.

It's because the package predates generics and a v2 hasn't been added yet.
That’s a US salary though, right? So you would expect it to be higher. Granted some companies might pay the same salary regardless of country but in my experience it’s usually adjusted
I treat usage of LLMs in coding as an admission of incompetence, and this post has only reinforced that view.
That's fine making it light, but you have to engineer the car so you can get at it reasonably.

There is zero reason to put a battery in a wheel well for instance. What did it make the car $1 cheaper to make? Forget the battery till the end of the design?

This is an odd contradiction. On one hand, he values the fast feedback loop you get from edit-and-reload style development, but on the other, he doesn't appreciate the instant feedback from the type checker saying it's not gonna work.
the problem is you want the weight to be after the suspension, not before, so that the unsuspended weight is minimal. Putting the motor inside the wheel make that not possible, and motors are quite heavy, even electrical ones.
Well, like I said in another comment, some people believe we are on the brink of a new age of prosperity due to AI development. I'm not sure if I share that opinion - just playing devil's advocate.

Easy. The Son has to die, meaning every human individual must die because ONLY that way the evolution of DNA can proceed. DNA can "go to heaven", meaning beyond the death of the individual, for future generations to live, and to repeat the same cycle.

DNA has a mechanism for aging, meaning we really die because of it, not in spite of it. The Aging has been built in (= has evolved as a trait) because it allows the species to evolve when older generations leave room for newer ones.
I swear Porsche 911 has a cult following. There’s almost always a local “911 club” every place I lived. I get they’re trying to make an ode to the classic but feels like a missed opportunity not to make this a hybrid like the E-ray. That being said, I can’t afford this car so maybe those who can prefer pure ICE but in todays EV world, 575 HP seems meh.

Edit: Interesting that people here think hybrid must mean “PHEV” or a Prius aka parallel hybrid. There are mild hybrids. Just replace the coveted Turbo model with a hybrid model that run in conjunction with the manual engine. You’ll get both the loved manual-ness and EV like pick up.
The Katittuq Nunavut Fibre Link, labelled as 2025, had its tender cancelled this year.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/nunavut-cancels-tender-...

> Nunavut is the only province or territory in the country [Canada] without access to fibre internet. The project would bring fibre to both Iqaluit and nearby Kimmirut.

Right now, everything is over satellite. Too bad the big "internet cache" systems don't have sneakernet approaches to filling their caches. Unsure if their local ISP does any kind of caching. So every stream/download/update, etc. is its own "hit" over the downlink.

Thanks to Canada's terrible mobile telecom pricing and lacklustre competition, a cell phone with a dataplan in this territory is cost-competitive with the rest of the country...

> May I ask what a non-technical founder should look for in a technical co-founder?

Breadth of expertise, ability to learn quickly, open minded when it comes to technology. Loves to work with clients and solve their problems more than they love the tech.

The B2B and PostGIS part caught my eye. I'm technical, but leading both the business and the technical sides of my spatial analytics company. I would be happy to share at least some of my technical knowledge. From infrastructure, DevOps, through database and data layer, and all the way to the frontend - I've been doing this for years and there could be a thing or two that may be useful to you.

On the other hand, I can always do better when it comes to B2B sales, so I am looking to learn too. Maybe we can have a chat sometimes.

Would like to connect?
Glyphosate is one of the most studied chemicals, and it's okay. (The issue is that farm workers are not given protective gear.) Lead in pipes is also not that big of a problem as it was in gasoline.

--------------

I'm on the job market and open to roles in industry/academia!
With over six years of experience in applied machine learning, I worked mainly on pipelining machine learning models for search retrieval/ranking (text/image/multimodal), recommender systems, computer vision tasks (object detection, segmentation), and financial AI use-cases (scenario generation of stock portfolios, fraud detection at scale).
I am amenable to acquiring proficiency in diverse programming languages/frameworks, and infrastructure (currently learning Rust). My problem-solving aptitude extends beyond coding and product development; I actively seek opportunities to enhance the development process and assist colleagues through mentoring and coaching. If your team requires a machine learning researcher/engineer, data scientist, or research scientist to build production-grade modelling pipeline focussed toward performance optimisation and producing high-quality code and features, I am readily available for a full-time, remote/contract, and long-term roles.

I'm glad I went "full nerd" early and got a PAPR pollution mask.[1] I estimate I'm getting essentially the same 99% protection, except without the hot stuffy sensation.

The CO2 increase is real, despite propaganda to the contrary. This isn't because a mask "blocks oxygen" (duh), it's just because you're re-inhaling a larger volume of exhaled air, beyond the normal mouth/nose+trachea+unused lung volume.[2]

> it's important to note that "tricking" people into tipping more doesn't help uber's bottom line.

Of course it does. Their drivers presumably want a certain level of total compensation, but they dont care who it comes from. The higher Uber is able to convince people to tip, the less they have to offer in wages to retain drivers.
My point is that reporting must be accurate and factually correct.

As someone still in native, I got a similar vibe when switching from UIKit to SwiftUI. While this happened simultaneously with a lot of other changes (including using VIPER instead of MVC/MVVM), I'm also trying to use SwiftUI for one of my personal projects and find it disappointingly more difficult than the time I learned C++ by diving into someone else's badly written project.

Conversely, another side project is a JS game done in an old-school OO pattern and vanilla (no libraries no frameworks), and it's easy.

I want to like automagical solutions that the new frameworks keep touting, but everywhere I'm just seeing things that make it harder to work out what's going on. Half the stuff on the web should be a thin bit of pure HTML/CSS/image data with no JS at all, build server-side, and where the interactions are done. Like, the HN comment form I'm in right now is:

<form class="itemform" action="/xedit" method="post">…<input type="submit" value="update">

etc. — it still works even when I disable JS.

Either buy rights to the data, produce training data for which you own the rights or use copyright-free data. Those options exist, but no one takes advantage of them because none of them are as much of a "free money machine" as just ripping off as many people as possible to homogenize and commodify their work.

If LLM development can't continue without violating copyright then that makes it clear that the purpose of LLM development is violation of copyright. Which is something we all already knew but it's nice to have it spelled out in no uncertain terms.
I’m liberal, I agree with the right that nuclear power is the only path to replace nuclear, I agree with the left that climate change is a major problem and that nuclear power has risks. I disagree with the right heavily about the security risks of nuclear. They feel extremely overblown. But the track record of renewables is that they fail to offset fossil fuels in any meaningful way. We take it as an accomplishment when a single random day in a country is 100% renewable. Meanwhile France is nearly 100% fossil free energy every single day of the year. And when Germany cut back on nuclear, renewables fail to absorb that and fossil fuel use went up. So our choice is to focus on political problems and fix those but they feel intractable so people focus on the positives of renewables and because it’s “easier” (no messy / scary political issues) but ignore the fundamental technical difficulties of using renewables to replace fossil fuels. Yeah sure, nuclear has lots of problems and risks. Most of the cost issues are self-imposed. Cleanup costs fail to be factored in for political reasons but at the same time it’s not trillions of dollars per plant and we also do have enough research to know there’s reasonable paths that we’ll get to of building reactors that can’t melt down.

re security concerns, take for example North Korea which has been nearly globally embargoed but yet still has built successful nuclear weapons. They struggle with ICBMs because that’s what it would take. By comparison, Iran has been subjected to all kinds of targeted military and covert action to sabotage their nuclear program. By all accounts those actions have kind of been successful in the sense that experts agree it’s going to take Iran longer to create those weapons, but it’s a question of if not when. That’s why I’m so frustrated by critics of Obama’s Iran deal. The 0 tolerance approach is not going to work and the Obama deal had the best concessions from Iran that we’re going to get - it’s not going to be better when Iran actually has nuclear weapons. And Iranians have AFAIK been very honest players in terms of at least trying to stick to the Iran nuclear deal even after Trump blew it up. The primary problem there is that Iran is a geopolitical enemy of Israel which complicates things a lot (a stronger Iran that a nuclear deal allowed for is a problem for other security issues in the region). But notice how none of those issues have anything to do with enrichment capabilities of civilian nuclear reactors. And generating fissile material is not the bottleneck for building those weapons. So it’s all silly FUD-driven BS we pick up from movies and imagining things than actual problems on the ground.
