Fairphone is a for profit company. What is there to prevent the company from choosing not to use the highest quality parts so that you will need to buy more parts to repair it later on?
A nibble is half a byte. (4 bits) Arcane binary maths wizardry from way back when every single bit had value to the programmers, and 64 Kilobytes was a lot of RAM. ;)

What there's definitely evidence of is that mRNA was administered to billions of people apparently without even measuring and understanding what kinds of proteins it actually caused the human body to make.
I was looking into Fairphone seriously recently and got repulsed by this parts out of stock thing. It's not just one occurrence, peolle are complaining about different parts out of stock for prolonged period or times (or still not available to this day). What's the point of repairability if parts cannot be acquired? Not much of used market, either.

And their support tells you to pretty much f-off without are purchase receipt, even if you want to buy the part. It's garbage.

I like them as alternate history retro computing art pieces. They look cool and do in fact make actual music.

Counterpoint: I take probably 3/4 of my meetings on Zoom and 1/4 on meet. So on any given day I'm probably doing at least 1 on meet. If I look back on any day at all the meetings with unaceptable audio lag or very degraded video quality? They are always all "meet". It is just hands-down worse when networks are unreliable.

In addition meet insists I click on the same about 4 or 5 different "Got it" feature popups every single call, and every call also insists on asking me if I want to use Duet AI to make my background look shit which just adds to annoyance.

There’s gotta be an overlap of people who do that and people who pick their phone numbers based on look, right? Which I do. I also recently changed my Tailscale host name (animal-animal.ts.net) and spent enough time cycling through choices to find a short, memorable, and pleasing one that I even started to question how I was spending my time.

Life Changing Books on Sex and Relationships
Hey fellow HN,
2 years back I asked books which changed your life most and got a massive response.

Since then, I have been thinking about asking the question for Sex and Relationships.
So here we are, please share the most impactful book you have read on Sex/Relationships.

You definitely suggested more than that.

Then you're reading something I didn't say.

If you do that, you should feel guilty.

Guilty of what? It's a business, not a charity. If that's where I happen to be stuck having dinner, and if they're unwilling to accommodate my preferences even at additional cost, I'm not going to go hungry or cheat on my diet purely out of politeness.

They can either solve the problem and increase their revenue, or accept that they've created an edge case situation where some food will be wasted. Punishing their customers would accomplish nothing except loss of business and negative Yelp reviews.

I struggle to separate the man from the ideals, when it comes to political and economic matters.

The fact that Tolstoy was a (no disrespect meant, but I'll use the modern term: ) 'nepo baby', born and raised into nobility on his own estate with all the trappings, and then in turn begat his own large brood of noble-born nepo babies (who by-the-way were paid a special allowance by their government in order to maintain the family estate, following Leo's passing - quite the opposite of the elsewhere-mentioned Land Value Tax, then), is somehow a sad indictment of the way humanity trumpets it's hard won wisdom either during, or after, doing the opposite themselves.

That said, he was also a very good writer, and an intelligent and accomplished person in many ways.

Wasn’t particularly concerned with cleaning. When we first entered the apartment, pieces of the ceiling had fallen all over the space, probably nearly an inch of water on the ground. Was an absolute mess.

As I said, I was told the apartment was repaired and cleaned and led to believe it was safe to move back in so no I didn’t dedicate the hours to cleaning the place myself. Would have been for naught regardless, as the landlord never brought fans and dehumidifiers in (supposed to be done within 24-48 hours) so allowed moisture to fester for weeks

I guess saying a “bit” is dismissive. I had periods of regular training. Periods of no lifting. Running was a big part of my life. I have never been a very dedicated lifter. Did some 12 week cycles here and there. Probably took me a decade to hit those numbers. Someone with more focus could get there quickly. It was hard work here and there but nothing anyone would look at and say wow, I can’t do that. My T is a avg too, I have had it tested many times. Just solidly middle of the pack.
In that world there is no alternative, we should shut them down and break their stuff.

I should clarify: there’s some more details to why S mutans actually requires low pH. The correct term wouldn’t be “tolerate low pH” but rather “requires low pH” for its stable colonization.

S mutans creates incipient lesions by making acid, incipient lesions are micro environments where the low pH that causes enamel decay is determined by the biofilm on its surface. S mutans cannot thrive in environments with neutral or high pH. the existing community (including other Streptococcus species) create local alkaline environment via multiple metabolic pathways, including the most well studied and prevalent arginine deiminase system. A “normal” healthy community antagonizes S mutans by maintaining a normal pH in saliva and the tooth surface, preventing stable colonization by S mutans.

Without acid production, S mutans cannot stably colonize. and is readily outcompeted by the existing community. Any novel strains of S mutans to “compete for the same niche” will suffer the same weakness unless they create acid. but if this “probiotic” also creates acid, then by definition it also causes cavities.

Curious, do you any blog/post that you used to guide your set up that you can share?
Isn't the resistance of a wire usually modeled as a constant value?

Power dissipated in the wire as heat is proportional to the square of the current. It's equal to the voltage drop times current (P = I * V). Voltage drop is current times resistance (V = I * R). So P = I^2 * R.
I agree: but I just wanted to say that there are specific subdomains where you can mitigate some of these issues.

For example, generating json.

You can explicitly follow a defined grammar to get what will always be a valid json output.

Similarly, structured output such as code can be passed to other tools such as compilers, type checkers and test suites to ensure that at a minimum the output you selected passes some minimum threshold of “isn’t total rubbish”.

For unstructured output this a much harder problem, and bluntly, it doesn’t seem like there’s any kind of meaningful solution to it.

…but the current generation of LLMs are driven by probabilistic sampling functions.

Over the probability curve you’ll always get some rubbish, but if you sample many times for structure and verifiable output you can, to a reasonable degree, mitigate the impact that hallucinations have.

Currently that’s computationally expensive, to drive the chance of error down to a useful level, but compute scales.

We may seem some quite reasonable outputs from similar architectures wrapped in validation frameworks in the future, I guess.

…for, a very specific subset of types of output.
So, having nothing to say in response [1], you fall back on badgering again. That isn't going to work any better than it did before, except to reinforce the impression you have already made.

I got vibes of Eno's Apollo from the first youtube you shared. Bravo.
Hah, I supposed I'd like 'em too. There's more guitars than people to buy them, and the people who buy for wall hangers usually ended up selling them for a third of their original price after a few years, giving new players access to quality equipment.
I didn't even look at the demo. And not due to lack of interest in LLMs (I'm an academic working in NLP, and I have some work on LLMs).

The thing is that for all practical intents and purposes, if I can't try it, it doesn't exist. If they claim it exists, they should show it, a video or a few cherry-picked examples don't prove anything. It's easy to make a demo making even Eliza look like AGI by asking the right questions.
So Antioch is a good stand-in for Gondor, and then it’s also a good stand-in for Edoras? Huh?

Not all of them. The Kia Niro I’m driving as a rental this week has a 240v battery. Level 3 charging it feels wildly slow compared to my car.

Okay, so of interest but maybe not applicable to my usecase. Thanks:)

Yeah, it remains to be seen how complex the actual format/code is. Would need to balance the difficulty of recreating it (which I assume to be quite high) against difficulty of extracting kernel code... although https://github.com/lkl/linux exists so for all I know maybe it's easy¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And yes, if I needed to actually write a "tar2ext4" tool today - like, start working in the morning and have it done by EOD - I would absolutely use... actually probably a loopback device rather than a true ramdisk, but yeah. But that requires root access and fiddling with loopback config, which seems excessive for what is, ultimately, just another archive format (from a certain point of view). And honestly some of it is just that it sounds fun to get my hands dirty with filesystem code in userspace:)

I've always found it interesting HN is so focused on Georgism given it's leanings. It works out fine for hyper capitalists who eek out highly efficient use of land for stuff like a steel mill but is arguably devastating to the average joe who uses it for economically unprofitable uses like a place to let his toddler or dog play.

Property tax is definitely more preferable to the prol and even programmer wage slave, who can eek out low taxes on a larger leisure plot by not improving it and won't be forced to drill for oil or something to pay the George tax like it held a higher averaged common value.

In many senses property tax is progressivism while Georgism land tax is a hyper capitalist steamroller that cares not you've barely been able to improve the land with a decrepit mobile home and meanwhile taxes the baron with the gold plated loan shark palace the same.

> However, there's nothing about C that prevents writing secure code in it

C doesn't prevent you from writing secure code, but it sure as hell makes it hard.

I believe it was Bryan Cantrill who made the problematic observation that the main issue is that C code doesn't compose.

I can write a perfectly correct library. You can write a perfectly correct library. When somebody else brings those two correct libraries together, though, the result can be terribly broken.

This is where the GC languages and Ada and Rust kick C and C++ asses.
you're right, but a lifestyle that makes a habit of adding those small things up left and right becomes impactful quickly.
in india, that is your local grocery store. every street has them. of all kinds, stocking different things, sometimes similar things.

these give employment to a huge number of people who are simple passive shopkeepers, they do not do any advertising, do not have to raise loans (though some do) or "invest" in anything exotic. just their stock in hand.

since the "concentration" of power is distributed, everyone owns their own shop and nothing more.

majority of the shops don't even have an employee. the owner/family does the whole thing. (mom and pop store)

what this does is, there are no shareholders to satisfy, no shoplifting at the scale it becomes a problem for corps and employees don't care.

this model should be adopted elsewhere too, the opposite of going hyperscale

In the case of my Audi, the starter motor is 48v so the 12v system charges the 48v system enough to start.

In EVs the 12v system is used to power a contactor that connects the EV battery to the drive system. That’s the clicking sound you hear on power on and power off and another contactor can be heard clicking during charging.

A lot of companies have this structure. You have the Doritos line, the Pepsi line for example etc… maybe you find some common synergies but it’s not unusual.

What would the ideal setup in your opinion?
It looks like a no brainer to me. If you have some program based on a standard, any non-incremental changes to the standard mean spell hard work: you have to read the updated and old spec side by side to just to determine whether something is now broken in your program, never mind what needs to be done. Of course that guy is opposed to that.

Assurances that, don't worry, it's all gonna be backward compatible, are neither here nor there, from that perspective.
I got 144 wooden spectre tiles from a laser cutter shop to play with. It's surprisingly difficult (for me, without any mathematical ability) to make a proper tiling beyond ~ 30 tiles. I was never able to densely tile the plane with all 144... thus shattering my hopes of getting these in ceramics and tile a floor with them.

People never ate out because of the food. They ate out because of the dining experience.

You can make better meals, cheaper, at home, in less time than it takes to go out. Yet people still dined out.

And, they pay a premium for it. There is no sense in paying a premium for home delivery, because you are getting substandard meals[1].

[1] Few dishes travel well in a bag, even if it's packaged properly and delivered quickly - steam rising off hot food that is not ventilated causes things to go soggy. If you do ventilate it, then it goes cold in minutes while traveling. Then reheating the food makes it less nice than it was when cooked. Hence, all delivered food tend to be slightly different to eating it off a plate when it is freshly cooked. Even pizzas suffer from being steamed while traveling.
The thing about orcs being corrupted elves isn’t canon, as Tolkien himself never settled on a theory for the origins of orcs. I’m personally against this theory because an elf put under extreme duress will likely just pop back to the Halls of Mandos; when orcs were first bred the way from the West was still open.

Not true.

Your motors and actuators operate directly on 48V (in fact, most actuators would prefer a higher voltage like 96V). That's really significant.

Microelectronics is effectively a "don't care" since everything is behind a regulator or a PHY.

Yeah, 48V tolerant switching regulators are going to be a bit more expensive until the volume gets rolling, but that problem solves itself while ethernet and CAN PHY chips are already 48V tolerant.
Ok fair enough, it is hydraulic assisted instead but for the point I'm trying to make it's essentially the same thing in so far as it requires power.

I feel like you're mixing up points now, running 48V is fine _because_ the voltage is low enough that it's unlikely to kill anyone if you mess it up. The 400V system in the meantime has a lot more care taken and limiting the systems it works on to ONLY high power systems lessens the number of things that can go wrong.
Sibling comments mentioned Option types, which are assumed the currently best approach. I agree, but would like to add Python as a different example.

Null handling in Python is actually sane, despite there being no Option type.

Its Null is called None, which is of type NoneType, which sits at the very top of the type hierarchy (inherits from object). That’s it. Everything else is separate from it. You perform a check for None, and after passing, you are guaranteed no null reference. Dereferencing cannot blow up.

A variable of type “Union of None and SomeClass” is safe to use after a None check. Type checkers will flag missing checks as errors. This is in contrast to C# or Java, where any reference type can end up in a rug pull and cause a null dereference.

In Python, assuming a type checker, checks are mandatory and cannot be forgotten (quite similar to Option types actually). In the other languages they’re not mandatory and can be forgotten (by default).
