That reminds me of a house built here in SE Canada in New Brunswick. It's a super efficient home with quadruple glazed windows and walls 1m thick or something like that. The entire house is heated with a unit using the power equivalent to a hair dryer. Just for some perspective it can easily get to -20C or -30C in winter in New Brunswick. It's airtight and very well insulated but yes built that way from the start.

You’re not wrong. Getting ProxySQL config correct to do exactly what you want and nothing else can be quite the undertaking. Even moreso if you want to have it be HA and capable of live ruleset reloads.
I am also very disappointed that it will generate outdated code, like JS code that uses var or code that looks like 10+ years old because it does not use recent Array,String or DOM APIs, I can tal it to rewrite it but imagine all the newbs that will use this tools and use outdated code and APIs.
This proves once again there is zero inteligence and just interpolating the code from it's training.
I don't think that's true.

There's a lot of nuance, socialising is a complex mixture of things which varies a lot between and also within country.

People coming with their home expectations and judging others based on it are often just seen as obnoxious and disrespectful from an outside point of view.

As an example, in France it's quite common to tease/gently mock people you're friend with. Some insults can even be used in a friendly way. This is something that doesn't fly AT ALL in a lot of places and, as a french, you have to be really careful with when meeting non-french. If not, you are just being super mean instead of trying to be friendly.

As well, the American way of using a lot of superlatives, being overly excited about things that are not that exciting can been seen as fake and disrespectful, in a lot of other places.
It is important to have in mind that Nvidia started investing resources and time in this 10+ years ago, CUDA was introduced in 2007, where none of the current ML/AI flows even existed. And they continued waiting, betting the company a number of times that the market will "show up" for the products they have built.

In the past few years that has happened, as reflected on the stock price. Other players are basically a decade behind them and with all of the current hype and AI/ML workflows becoming mainstream, I think it is next to impossible for anyone to catch up.
Safe code can invalidate invariants of unsafe code in block containing perfectly safe code.

Famous example is:

impl Vec {
pub unsafe fn set_capacity(&mut self, capacity: usize) {

self.capacity = capacity; // why is that unsafe?
}

}

What OP possibly did was invalidate his invariants in safe code.

Where do you get your numbers from? Right now, pre heat pump, I'm at 2000kWh usage and return to the net 4000kWh (so 2000kWh in excess). I use 750m3 of gas.

This costs me 100e per month.

I'm investing in a full electric ground source heat pump. Which cost me 20k. An alternative is a air heatpump which is around 8k, but with a lower scop.

Let's assume a scop of 5 (air-air) which is conservative. The amount of energy required for heating / showering / cooking was 750 * 9.27 = 6952.5 kWh. Dividing this by the scop of 5 means I require 1390.5 kWh to replace gas. This means I still have excess of solar kWh.

For now I can use the grid as a battery. This means I have no electricity costs - I actually get 20e per month after taxes.

So for 8k I have nullified my gas and electric bill. This means a payback period of 5.5 years (8000/120/12) or a yield of 18% (120/8000 * 100*12) per year.

So it isn't required to have tens of thousands to invest and you get a positive yield (depending the tax climate) even with current gas prices.

The 20k ground source heat pump looks a bit different. But I like that it is quiet and it can cool in summer for less energy that an air-air one.*
If you did .NET Core in 2019 then it's still very similar, with many improvements here and there.

From my experience ASP.NET Core and EF Core are very good frameworks, usually the horror starts when developers start building their own framework on top of it, instead of keeping it simple.

I wouldn't do it on an account with anything important in it, I think you're still likely to get striked.

There's little recourse for false claims, so they'll probably do it anyway, and since it's the claimant that gets to deny your appeals, there won't be much you can do unless you can create enough publicity about it on social media (although I guess doing that to get attention could be enough reason to do it!)
I looked at the patent EP3337077B1... It is utter rent-seeking nonsense.

The sub knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the sub from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.

If you can write it yourself, it's not what people usually call "framework".

> Giving the LLM a bit better tools, like a version of "cat" that prefixes the lines with numbers, and a "swap" command that can do "swap 179 250 ..." to swap out the lines 179 to 250 with "..." would probably be enough to empower the LLM to be pretty efficient.

Its a common myth that our cells all die and are replaced by new ones, but that is not actually true, it is true for the vast majority of cells tho.

One of the most extreme example where this is not true, are the female gametes aka the egg cells. They are all created before birth and are never replaced. Quite the opposite of the male counterpart where the production of gametes starts 10+ year after birth and usually continues for the rest of the life.
It also doesn't help that, at least here, prices are higher and delays are longer because of high demand and low supply, especially on the side of the craftspeople who install heatpumps. That, combined with an overloaded power grid, isn't helping adoption much.

You can't "just" install a heatpump like you install a TV, these figures are more complex than just "people aren't buying them".

The apparent data source (https://www.ehpa.org/news-and-resources/press-releases/heat-...) seems to indicate that sales are dropping especially in Finland and Denmark. Which is interesting, because Finland seems to be market leader in this stuff: https://yle.fi/a/74-20049437

What this graph also doesn't show, is the huge spike in sales that 2022, the year have been taken as a basis, was compared to previous years: https://www.carbonbrief.org/guest-post-how-heat-pumps-became...

Of course the heat pump industry, which is the source of the data indicating a collapse, would prefer to maintain the huge growth the invasion into Ukraine and the subsequent changes in fossil fuel prices have brought to the sector. However, I suspect sales may fall back to pre-war levels, which is still a sizeable industry, and that the recent boom was an abnormality rather than an indicator of consumer interest.

I think you don't know what you are talking about.

Intersectionality is a framework where it is believed that for systemic issues it makes sense to not look at individual axis of oppression/empowerment (race, gender, ...), but to look for the combined individual effect (or something like that, apparently there is no consensus on the details)

Using "inclusive language" means that you use words to address the target audience in a way that all members feel approached. So e.g. just saying "Mesdames" would target a female only audience. If there would be males in the target group you would not have included them. It's not a "weasel word" for anything else.

> I don't care about "inclusivity"

So you would be fine if people would call you Madame (assuming you are a male)?

> The "median ." isn't french language, it's unreadable when literred everywhere.

There are similar discussions in other languages, but ultimately, language is evolving naturally and not by a standard body. The language is what people use to communicate.
So you are free to dislike it and advocate against it, but saying it isn't french language is meaningless. Every change to a language was not part of the language before.

Yeah, it's advocating for changes on language (what you call war), because language determines what people think.
How would the sums work out if you were actually paying for electricity?
The answer is simple. Just bore yourself. You can't just stop thinking about work, you have to let your thoughts run through it until it's over. You have to practicing reeling back your mind from the stray thoughts.

Don't listen to podcasts. Don't watch entertainment. Don't look at social media, including HN. Don't check email.

Just stare at soemthing. Watch the road while driving, observe other people on the train. You have a whole hour of commute to clear your brain. Typical meditation/mindfulness is observing your breath - you can do this anywhere, before bed, as soon as you wake up, in the shower, while driving.

But simple advice is the hardest; it's like losing weight or saving money.

Instead observing your breath, an easier trick is observing your kids. There's a technique: https://watchwaitandwonder.com/

Just observe each of your kids for 10 mins a day. Don't tell them how to play, let them tell you how they're playing.

It's not subsidies, gas prices are down to pre-invasion levels. Lots of changes were implemented to reduce overall gas demand, plus all governments build up their gas reserves so to avoid local energy shocks. Countries also set up alternate sources of gas. This all combined to push down gas prices.
Oops, you're right, the whole point of noexcept is to promise to the compiler that you know in practice exceptions can't happen, I got confused...

Otherwise, I should point out I explicitly said "at() with exception support enabled". It's also important the ability to disable exceptions is not a feature of C++, the C++ specs assume exceptions work (just like the Java or C# or Go specs). It is a feature of certain C++ implementations that they suport this mode, just like they support other non-standard features (compiler intrinsics, various #pragmas, etc).
> we have NOT evolved where we are today by generating inputs to ourselves

Sure, we have not evolved this way in the strictly biological sense, but we did greatly extend our capabilities this way. The jump in capabilities in the past tens of thousands of years is mostly from passing knowledge around and incrementally building on top of it. Often by building higher level abstractions, and building more complex systems on top of those, or by dividing the problem into distinct parts, and having people specialize.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm new to running LLMs so I'll take a look at your suggestion [0]. My ~10 year old MacBook Air has 4GB of RAM, so I'm primarily interested in smaller LLMs.

If you want to put this (fantastic, thank you very much for it!) command in your git toolbox, personally I did it like this:

1) create an executable script called `git-l` and put it in a place in your PATH, and make it executable
2) use `git l` to invoke it

You will avoid escaping hell and you can even expand/complicate it much more.
The same extension principle works with other CLI tools like `kubectl`.

I'm french and I think you are mistaking several things:

I've always thought it's in good fun and certainly not disparaging. All french people I've met including myself have stellar opinion of people from quebec (even more than of their fellow french).

- I've never ever head someone making fun of another non-native french speaker accent. In fact we're happy when someone likes french

Sorry you feel that way.
The ban is on single fuel gas boilers. New ones will have to be able to use hydrogen.
The idea is you have an invention and then try to have the standard require your invention. The parties that create the standard are supposed to declare the patents they have that cover the standard and then typically there is some licensing authority where manufacturers can pay a fee to have a license for all the patents involved.

On one hand it’s reasonable because the inventors spent money on researching the new things that are in the new standard. On the other hand it can be rather unfortunate, especially if it’s software, because with open-source there is no way to pay and get a license.

While heat pumps tend to pay themselves back by simply being one of the most efficient methods of heating possible, they do require a large investment upfront. With the current economic situation, it makes sense that fewer people are willing to make such an investment. You could of course get a loan, but not everyone is interested in getting themselves into any kind of financial risk when cost of living is up and wages are lagging behind.

ROI depends heavily on the amount of solar power you can also invest into, the weather, and fossil fuel prices. Right when fossil fuel prices spiked because of Russia's invasion, getting a heat pump was a no brainer, because the difference between electricity and fossil fuel prices took months or more off the time to earn back the heat pump investment, but now that fuel prices are dropping back to normal, the equation changed.
You don't necessarily need to fit the model all in memory – llama.cpp supports mmaping the model directly from disk in some cases. Naturally inference speed will be affected.
Which makes absolute sense.

It's interesting, because a few weeks ago there was an article here on HN about some engineer recalling how, because of a blunder, they almost fried a multi-million dollar rover 2 weeks before a time-critical launch. And although the author did casually mention in his introduction that he was already working his second 12 hour work shift of the day, without rest, not once was the thought articulated that, maybe, the root of the entire screw-up was that exhausted and overworked people were working double shifts, setting themselves up for failure.

My comments and thoughts on the article were exactly in line with what you read, which is also interesting. Why did NASA in the 60s and 70s think that they could not afford exhausted and overworked people because they would eventually screw up, while JPL (also NASA) in the 2000s thought it was perfectly OK? Some lessons were clearly unlearned through the years.

If the recent leak about the moderation policies for Twitter is correct, they don't actually want to remove that kind of content. So it might not be a matter of not having enough moderators right now but also an intentional policy decision to not sanction posts like this.

Yes, when you get down to -20 C or so, the efficiency drops below 1. Depending on the model.
