I have heard this all before. Its excuses to qualify low effort and mediocrity.

1. You are either actively generating money directly with your activity or you are contributing to something else that does but you are only doing a single thing at any given moment. Everything else is just pandering to justify your existence.

2. Games can be anything. You don't need a computer to play Sudoku. What separates video games from paper games is automation. Nobody has so far proven this wrong.

3. There are no tricks to practice. You are over coming challenges or spinning your wheels pretending to do so. That is why beginner experts are so common.

4. I guess you have never managed people or products.

An experiment in low-bias news written by AI and humans
Perhaps I'm biased by working on mostly big projects. I haven't tried a very small project recently so I might be on thin ice.

The thing that I would expect would be a bit complicated in a small project is networking rules, load balancing, mounting directory from host. That kind of thing.
Not quite though, as many things influence sale. Availability is one of them. Someone already brought up McDonalds burgers as an example.

I love this; what a great example of pushing the state of the art forward. Kudos!

You know that peer reviewed papers don't need either right?

That's what Survey papers are for, and we are lucky to have them.
When my team cut our monthly Netlify costs by $1.5k, Netlify didn't inquire why, contrasting with GCP's prompt response to a similar spending reduction. Our departure from Netlify was due to significant bugs in Netlify's Next.js Edge and double billing us when Git contributors didn't map cleanly to Netlify accounts, despite us using Github OAuth. Support individuals were great, but it seems like their advocacy for us fell on deaf ears within the Product/Engineering camp.

Even more puzzling was that a few months prior, their partnerships team had been working with us to get our customers' ecommerce storefronts on the platform. Netlify's (then) head of partnerships left and nobody else followed up ever. Our customers are now pointed at Fly.io instead, and everyone is quite happy with that recommendation.

My anecdote, and this article, seems like evidence of Netlify's reactivity to Vercel over customer-oriented growth. Vercel, in contrast, is more focused on developing open-source projects that organically brings people in.
This makes it less likely it’s a bug to me.

As a dev this reads as them purposely hiding the Disney+ app instead of uninstalling it, but forgot about the URL scheme.

What’s happening in the video is, the now well known behavior, of a website opening its app when it detects its visited by a supported platform.

Most OSs will automatically unhide an app icon when a hidden app is opened to give the user a reference point of the app they’re using.
Some considerations:

1) We prioritize the lives and minds that are here over potential lives. Letting a child die so he can have more classmates to mourn him seems perverse.

2) As with many relaxed regulations, I suspect that it will result in disparate negative impact to poor people. (I only skimmed the article; feel free to call me out if this is addressed).

3) This is American Bizarro World where the answer to, "Families can't have kids because they can't transport them," is, "Let some of the kids die in vehicular accidents," instead of, "Build public transit that is both safer for all involved and also allows any number of familial transit configurations, including 'mom and dad and like 8 kids' and 'a smaller 10-year-old who would be otherwise relegated to a car seat able to travel alone.'"

Not really. Many Tesla Superchargers are being equipped with Magic Dock, which is perpetuating CCS.

More manufacturers may be moving to NACS, but it’s not like chargers are moving away from CCS. If anything, the CCS infrastructure is growing.

Borges is one of my favourite writers. Having some stranger try to think like him to conceptualize something for public consumption rubs me the wrong way. If Borges was around, I'd love to hear what he had to say, but invoking his name and works like this feels off

The obvious parallel between Borges and AI is his Quixote story: a character endeavors to write Don Quixote, but spontaneously, word for word, without copying; to become cervantes in a sense, and to train their style so that they can produce it almost by accident. This sort of makes the work their own, and is a typical argument used by ai enthusiasts when AI regurgitates copywrited work--it isn't storing the work, it's becoming a thing that can spontaneously produce it. But this imho cheapens the story and the parallel isn't as strong as it could be

There were already two connector standards for NA and EU, CCS Combo 1 vs CCS Combo 2.

NACS / J3400 is a different connector but still uses CCS communication protocols. So there isn't a huge market differentiation border in swapping CCS Combo 1 to NACS.

There is an additional requirement with NACS that the vehicle needs to route both AC and DC charging over the same connector pins.

Yes, mistakes happen all the time. One aspect of the aviation industry that I have always noted is the reluctance to adopt this as an excuse for failure. When a pilot pushes Button X instead of Button Y, it isn't just chalked up to pilot error. Somebody asks why Button X and Button Y are arranged right next to each other to begin with. Why was a situation created in which "pilot error" becomes so easy? Then things are changed so that such pilot error becomes harder and less likely.

It's an admirable thing when somebody has to go out of their way and go through some contortions to make critical mistakes.
It's probably a clause to protect the seller so the buyer can't try to return it (or refuse to pay) on the grounds that "I planned on buying this as an investment, but found out nobody in the industry will buy the parts and you didn't tell me about this first". edit: or cuts their finger off trying to play around with it.
So car seats cause 1 in 1000 fewer births of third children because minivans are uncool.

And because 2 year olds don’t get hurt THAT bad in car accidents, we should eliminate car seat requirements so the population can grow even faster.

Are there any schools of economics that actually consider sustainability, or are they all pretty much “growth good, more growth even better?”

Show HN: Flat – a minimalist teamwork app that protects focus (live demo)
Hi HN! We're Seth, Andrew, & Marcin.

After a decade of wanting a simple, lightweight teamwork tool and not finding one, we decided to build one ourselves. We’re calling it Flat, and we have two main goals:

1. Everyone can figure it out in just a few minutes, from the intern to the zero-patience CEO.

2. It doesn’t create extra work for anybody. Everything written in Flat would have been written somewhere anyway; Flat just provides an obvious, consistent place to put it.

If you check out the demo, please let us know how you think we’re doing on these goals and where we could do better. (Mobile users, there’s a video for you since Flat is desktop-only at the moment.)

Also: we think it's crazy that work communication has become so dominated by synchronous chat e.g. Slack and Teams over the past decade. It's too easy for balls to get dropped, it’s hard to get real work done, and it's hard to find things. Chat is great for some things, but we don’t think it should be the center of our work lives or the system of record. So Flat includes async discussion threads that are as quick and easy as chat but without the downsides.

You can read more about why we're building Flat at https://flat.app/why.

Coming soon: private workspaces & quick edits.

HN FAQ

-----------

How baked is this?
We’re still in beta, but it’s pretty darn baked.

What’s your business model?
No-nonsense SaaS. We’re currently in beta and free for all teams, but you can find our future pricing on our homepage.

Does this have a proper integration with GitHub?
Yes it does, because we're using Flat to build Flat!

Is this an “alternative to Jira”?
Ha, no. Though… some teams have in fact migrated to Flat from Jira. So, maybe?

Is this an “opinionated” tool?
Yes and no. Flat eschews complex features in favor of a small set of simple primitives (workspaces, topics, tasks, and threads). But Flat has no opinion about how you should work.

Is there a dark mode?
You bet. It's in the demo, try it!

What's your stack?
React, TS, PostgreSQL & Replicache (all data’s local, and Flat works offline)

Do you have a mobile app?
Not yet, but we will. We've been focused on making the desktop experience great first.

Hang on, is this an Electron app?
You got us! Feel free to use Flat in-browser if that offends you.
Yeah, because CCS1 only supports 1 phase AC because the usual standard of residential power is 1 phase AC.

In contrast, in Europe 3 phase AC is the standard, so it makes sense to support that advantage (especially the 400V across the legs) in charging vehicles.

raises hand

Four of the six laptops I've carried in my adult life have been Apple products, from my college TiBook through my current work Macbook Air, and haven't carried an iPhone since the 3G.

I haven't felt the need to root my Android phones in a few years but I still sideload a few apps so as long as Apple restricts that iOS is in a disadvantaged position. I also have a lot of Bluetooth devices that use the standard serial port profile, which Apple restricts for some unknown reason, so all of those would have to be replaced by more complicated WiFi-based devices that speak proprietary protocols to their specific apps instead of widely supported standard protocols.

If I were starting fresh right now with no smartphone history I'd probably pick Apple but at this point the inertia is too strong.

Tablets on the other hand, Google half-ass pays attention every few years where Apple actually cares. I just use my tablet as a consumption appliance so the iPad is perfect.
3 phase is very common in the US. Most single family houses don't have it, everything else is likely to have it.

For chargers 3 phase gains nothing. For induction motors 3 phase is useful - but in the modern world even where you have 3 phase you often will run the power through a VFC just so you get control of RPM. For a few other things 3 phase is nice because there is always one phase that isn't near zero to draw power from, but where that matters you can work around it with a few capacitors.
It's the opposite. Every single EV car that is sold right now in North America except Tesla will need a retrofit. Read the article you shared. It's for use on other charging stations.

In the picture, you see a dead charger adapter converted into a new Tesla standard one.
It's a major pain for other brand EV owners

In 1 year, almost at every charging station, you will have to deal with plugging converters in snow, rain, etc, making sure communication works.
I was about the same age when I played and found it equally hard.

The only way I ever got anywhere was that the Spectrum version had a bug where if you saved the game on the start screen after dying, it would save the state as if you had successfully docked at the space station in the system where you died. Do that a few times and before long you have all round military lasers and can actually survive in combat.

Basically, dropping fertility and birth rates are a problem. The author argues that government policies and laws can frustrate birth rates and perversely disincentivize having more children. The example he uses are car seats. Because you cannot fit more than two car seats in a car, and because they're not cheap, this creates a disincentive to have more children. According to the author, an argument from safety fall flat when one compares the number of children saved by car seats to the ones that are never born in the first place, but by his estimates could have been born. Ergo, get rid of child car seat laws if you want to encourage higher birth rates. The author is not arguing that this is the only reason why birth rates have declined, but one contributing factor.
They do mention the forced labor during the guided tours of the island BTW.

Yeah there are many use cases where you aren't really using transactions, or where hard accuracy isn't a requirement (you're taking a percentage out of millions of rows) but you need fast write performance. It's very nice and can help you put off transitioning to a "real" data warehouse or a cache for a while.

Tesla is using the same communication standard, they just combine AC and DC on the same pins which means an adapter can be pretty cheap.

Destroying the original destroys some information that could have legal relevance.

Things could be written on the back, or the type of paper could be an important point.

It will likely inadvertently make them susceptible to remote cyber attacks.

How much do you trust the government to keep these digital wills secure? I'm fairly confident they can keep physical wills secure. A country's army provides a good deterrent to vandalizing physical objects. In the digital world, those threats are muted, especially if the hacker is in a jurisdiction that doesn't care.

> Every single EV car that is sold right now in North America except Tesla will need a retrofit.

No, they won't need a new ECU because they are already CCS cars. They'll need a dumb adapter if they can't get a new inlet installed.
> For books or sites or most things these signals exist too; I can look up what others have said about it.

That's no different from ChatGPT. The control on books at least is a publisher, but that is not really the case for a website. That's why fake news is a real issue.

And your uncle may talk to you in private. Or maybe it's your parents around the family dinner table. There are many sources of dangerous misinformation, not just ChatGPT.

Education and critical thinking is the real solution.
> It's a shame North America still has years of plug incompatibilities and adapter fiddling

Not really, Tesla has over 24k charging stalls in the US. The second biggest is Electrify America, and they have only 3,800 charging stalls. There really aren't a lot of EV chargers that are non-tesla in the US, unlike the EU.
Collected Fictions[0] is a wonderful group of Borges stories that includes the ones mentioned in this article.

There are some amazing short story collections out there if you are the kind of reader that has a hard time staying with an entire novel. Ted Chiang has a couple[1][2] collections of stories that feel very Borges-like.

I don’t see this as theoretical at all, it’s a pragmatic requirement to not explicitly test the third party tools you depend on. I’d never personally write a test which, in its entirety, calls a function owned by a third party and checks its return value and include that in my CI process.

What would I do?

- Write a unit test for the code that depends on this function, including the function call. I don’t need to test the third party behaviour specifically because I’m really interested in the behaviour of the entire code under test. If the code is broken, my own code shouldn’t work either.

- Wrap and inject fakes for the contracted behaviour. This is usually for things where the behaviour is non-deterministic, say because of a network call. I don’t want CI failing because a third party temporarily fails. I’ve worked under these conditions before and it's really unproductive. Yes, I write tests for failure cases (network interruptions, for example).

- I may encapsulate the database in my “unit,” depending on the application. The frameworks I like to use tend to integrate error handling for the DB, so I’m relaxed about network errors here.
How is this different from flash attention? I think using similar terms without explaining the difference in the abstract is confusing...

edit: Seems like this is an extension along two different mechanisms within the flash framework. Title of paper could be better, but it is within the first few pages.

I can barely understand the logic behind "Hurtling toward a black hole, we seem to be endlessly stuck, horizonless, in the event horizon." and "Ukraine has turned into a rallying call for much of Europe, a vicarious way (dangerous, but not too dangerous) to experience once again the forward vector of time. "

Integrate Ukraine to EU and after that... What? "Hurtling toward a black hole..." again, but this time with Ukraine? ;-)

It was a little like this with tape loading games - you had 10 to 15 minutes (an eternity when you were young) to do something, and that's if you were lucky with tape head azimuth and you didn't knock the joystick controller - if there was a manual you read that every time, I even remember reading the copy protection sheets over and over again.
It's not US-only. It includes Canada.
CCS charging infrastructure is just awful. This is a problem mostly with infrastructure, but also with design compromises in the CCS design - both physical and software.
The voltage and current are determined by negotiation between the car and charger. There were plenty of US Teslas imported into Norway in the early days. They have no trouble charging here. If necessary a simple conversion can be done.

Making my 2015 S70D that had a Type 2 connector work with CCS2 was a 300 USD conversion. I can't see any reason why converting from NACS to CCS2 would be any more difficult or expensive.
The real mistake was the standards group that looked at Tesla's connector in the US and CCS Combo 2 in Europe and decided the best connector for North America was CCS Combo 1 with an external latching mechanism to be backwards compatible with the handful of J-1772 low power chargers that existed at the time.

In order to avoid separate ports for AC and DC charging, or a simple adapter that only needed to handle low power AC charging, they designed a giant franken-plug with a fragile latching mechanism. Given the lack of regulatory standardization on this plug in the years since, the majority of EVs and DC chargers in the US continued to use Tesla's plug, which remained proprietary to Tesla.

When we finally started apply regulatory pressure via federal funding for EV chargers to try to force CCS1, everyone (including Tesla) finally caved and switched to Tesla's connector.
The Myth of 'Slowing' EV Sales. The vibes are bad – but the data is great
From my understanding in this implementation there is some amount of knowledge about the model itself needed to determine what parts to place in system memory vs what parts to place in GPU memory. Can this ideally be computed automatically or will future models have some sort of interface for placement algorithms like this to help automate this? If the algorithm needs to be adopted for each model architecture, it's going to be a lot of work to maintain this project.
Kubernetes networking requires installing CNI plugin. Something simple like flannel will work fine and does not require any configuration. That's the only required addon for kubernetes, I think.

With docker you'll probably bind container port to the host. With kubernetes you can create Service of type NodePort and it's exactly the same.

Load balancing: I'm not really sure what do you mean, what do you use for docker load balancing? Just expose your kubernetes host to the Internet and that's about it. Or hide it behind separate reverse proxy, if you want.

Mounting directory from the host is supported with kubernetes, no problems here. Use hostPath volume in the pod spec.
