I don't buy this progress analogy. I'm from Scandinavia where we have Bang&Olufsen which were early adopters of touch controls, and it never came to sit well with me, knobs are still better.

I also used to produce music and buttons were always better, more tactile, then comes latency which is another modern problem - imagine a touch piano with 40ms delay, not good.

Someone also mentioned militaries changed back from touch to knobs because you'd never get the same speed and "feel".

I'm convinced the human mammal is simply adapted to use our hands with tools and materials that give good solid, instant feedback with lots of tactility, texture, depth and even sound and we'll hopefully realise this in the UX world.

Regarding the "who even looks at a speedometer" is just bizarre to me as a city/provincial driver also in Scandinavia. You need to look there continuously as speed limits more or less constantly change when driving here; from 30, to 50, then 40, then 80, then 30 and going more than 30% over you can get a huge fine and 1/3 strike to get your license revoked, ie. you actually have to glance quite a bit which i guess is why car manufacturers have put speedometers there for 100 years, isn't this a normal part of driving a car?
No, in the theological context evolution - the means by which God creates - is irrelevant.
Long context length models are still mostly a mirage with the "lost in the middle" phenomenon rearing it's ugly little head on actual production use-cases of this.
> But that requires pushing bills that would wreck the prospects of oil companies, and cause trillions of stranded assets, so they lobby against it.

The general public seems pretty opposed to higher fossil fuel prices.
How so? What’s an example of that?
Because downvotes are heavily used to say "I don't like this" rather than "this is not relevant".

I've complained to HN about this and proposed solutions. They don't care.
...which underscores the point that individuals != governments.
The message you should take from their code of conduct frustrating you is that they don't care about your business...so you aren't quite spiting them.
The article was interesting, too bad it did not deep dive a bit into Asian chocolate. So far I've been mostly disappointed when buying chocolate in China and Vietnam (not much taste, not sugary enough for my taste) but I quite liked some of the bars sold in Thailand

SwiftKey is still the only keyboard with an autocorrect that's actually really helpful, instead of actively messing up what I'm writing. But only if you (counterintuitively) turn off the "autocorrect" checkbox in the settings. Because then you will always have 3 distinct options to choose from (instead of middle and left sometimes being the same). Apparently you can install SwiftKey on iOS too (although I've never tried it).
yes - wouldn't it be lovely to see governments uninvolved in these sorts of market decisions?

If the government discounts cars by 25% - that's one thing. But let's not forget too that the greater part of the cost of running a car (the fuel) is mainly made up by tax on the fuel - it itself is an artificial price.

Nothing about transport is reflective of the underlying reality. Its simply a governmental chess board, and could be shifted at any time by new legislation, eg if a tax is introduced to add 50% tax on the electricity used for cars.

Regardless of the worthiness of this or that cause - its most interesting that none of this the free market in action. Its also licensing, government grants, taxes... in all honesty what is the difference between this and communism - where the government overtly controls the actions of the masses?
And clients will just have to deal with schema changes, or never make backward incompatible changes

I was offered time of day pricing. Bottom line, my main electrical usage is air conditioning in the summer. So, charge a higher rate at the exact times that I use the most.

"It's cheap except when you use it."

Even PG&E's estimate says stick with flat rate. It's cheaper.
The remake lost my interest too.

Microsoft paid more than Amazon for a long time (amazon only recently hit parity with the other FAANGs), and had FAR better wlb and work culture. Boutique MS (Linkedin) was known for paying extremely good while giving little work. Truly the ideal "rest-and-vest" companies.

I say we throw Amazon out and replace it with Microsoft. We could also throw netflix out, since they're doing pretty bad these days
confirming SwiftKey works brilliantly on iOS. have been a user since before it got acquired, then abandoned, and then picked up again

It also lets you pick more than one language at the same time, which is amazingly useful

In my mind, probably either Panasonic Avionics or Gogo.

If this debugging is true... I'd guess Panasonic from experience working there.

> Its much easier to program for than any embedded board.

Indeed. I work in both MCUs and full-featured Linux environments and there is zero value to using the former for non-safety critical, non-power constrained, low precision applications. Running a sprinkler system on an RPi is an entirely reasonable choice: you have ample storage for history, trivially simple remote control using a variety of protocols and media and ample compute to operate high level languages and run easily maintained programs, including nice-to-haves like continuous integration of public weather data to optimize your schedule against prevailing rainfall.

Can you shoehorn all that into a ESP32 + micropython or whatever? Sure. I'll bet someone already has. And they spent 10x the time it would have taken otherwise. At least.

As the article notes, the butyric taste is a hallmark of Hershey’s and its ilk. America makes some great chocolate, from Ghirardelli to Jacques Torres.

Negative prices happen constantly? Especially if you’re trading intraday and similar faster markets.

It’s partially a useful thing - large generators paying to avoid stopping - but largely it’s because peoples rooftop solar doesn’t curtail and so produce huge surpluses that someone needs to take. We saw this over and over in several of the markets we trade in last spring.

Because they can, and because customers keep buying them.

Power prices are negative 200 million times/year in US and rapidly growing! European grid has more renewables, we can expect it to be negative more frequently.

Right now, negative prices shut down production, wasting all the free production, called curtailment. Instead, EV owners can charge and be paid for charging. In fact, EV owners can get paid twice, once for charging and again for supplying power back to the grid as part of a virtual power plant. In a pilot this year, participants in VPP with their powerwalls made $150/day. It is entirely possible to do this with EVs.

And, very few needs 100% charge/range. 52% of all trips, including all modes of transportation, were less than three miles, with 28% of trips less than one mile. Just 2% of all trips were greater than 50 miles.[3]. You can set a range, keep my car charged between 60 - 90% at all times, give me money both for charging and supplying power back to the grid! I'm sure there will be some people who'd be interested in free money.

There is Perl Directory::Queue / Python dirq which also has implementations in Go, Java, and C.

A Ruby implementation would probably not be hard.

I don't how much people use this in serious or high performance work but it might be an option.
I’m not sure how prevalent it is, but two of my nephews asked me to get them VR headsets for Christmas. Although my siblings didn’t allow those requests to go through because of their ages, it sounds like their peers are getting into it. Curious how well Quest 3 is doing especially during holiday seasons.

I grabbed Quest 2 in 2021, but my peers and I might be aged out from VR demographics. Maybe I should’ve spent more time to get used to the controls and UX, but it just felt extremely clunky.
We don't like "getting used to" going back in history.

Where the f*ck is a HUD in a tesla? That's exactly the kind of car which should be getting cool space-age tech like that.

Elon already went on twitter and said no HUD ever and disparaged people asking for it.

Why did another comment saying basically the same thing get mass downvoted and killed? HUDs are some of the coolest features in cars and tesla refusing to implement it is a deal breaker for a LOT of people in the know.

This, plus grades and class rank. And there is a series of interviews, obviously.

For a young associate, grades/class rank are a decent proxy for how hard working they are and whether they have an aptitude for the basic practice of law.
Negative price can come from too much grid load which must be removed. This can be financially recovered through the non-negative prices.

I am wondering what it communities folks frequent these days? forums, groups, chats, etc. I am looking to widen my horizons and meet new, like minded people. :)
It is, but ...

If prices become negative on average, then there is no financial incentive for anyone to build a new power plant. Except if that plant can follow the load and generate only during the times when the prices are positive, and are above its breakeven generation cost. Natural gas power plants fall in that category. Battery storage too, twice better actually, as they can charge when prices are low or even negative, and discharge when prices are high.

One could claim that solar plus batteries is fine. Except that whoever plans to build solar plus batteries can quickly figure out that the ROI is even better if they do battery only and no solar at all. The same goes for wind.

The Economist ran a fairly informative article about this in September [1].

Thanks. I just read through your Colab examples notebook.
Back before cellular data coverage as ubiquitous and cheap, getting on an using shoddy wifi was an essential skill for anyone with a laptop. The ability to lock onto a stable wifi router, piggyback on another network, or syphon some bandwidth from a network you shouldn't ... those with such abilities managed to book tickets or hotel rooms within seconds of a flight being cancelled. Or, if you were really evil, you kicked everyone in the terminal off the router, hogging all the bandwidth for yourself. At school I had a script to randomize my laptops MAC ever few minutes then reconnect to the school's network. Mine was the only laptop that never got throttled by the wifi police for using too much data in a given session.

I used to have a little wifi antenna on my car. Some called it "wardriving" but I called it being able to check my email while traveling.

> That's the goal!! Very high doctor pay is the number 1 cause of skyrocketing medical expenses.

Exactly! I can't think of any other country where doctors routinely make 15-20x minimum wage, and people become doctors predominantly to make a lot of money. In most countries, doctors make very good money, but not 15-20x minimum wage good. In Western Europe, for example, it's more of 5-8x minimum wage.
I generally do my oil every 7500 miles using full synthetic.

When I take it in for service I assume they don’t use the expensive stuff and chnage it at 5k miles.

Either way, that’s 2x a year for me. I’m probably below average driving at just shy of 15k miles/year. I think the average is around 15k though. That would be 2-3 oil changes if you did them at similar intervals.

Some companies (ie: BMW) mandate more frequent chnages and higher octane gas etc etc. I don’t use those cars. If I can’t service them myself I won’t buy it (Tesla included)
> Egypt is a laggard, Greece is a laggard, Israel and Iceland aren't.

To put numbers on it: Egypt is 38th in GDP, Greece 54th, Israel 29th and Iceland 111th. I have a hard time understanding who you call laggards and who aren't.

The impact of strong ties with the US is an opening on the US domestic market and not getting shut down internationally. China's position for instance is clearly impacted by that, regardless of how we morally view the CCP.

Korea ad Taiwan: they cried and asked for reparation from Japan, got some, and also further strong US support in face of the USSR and Chinese influence going in the region.

Japan: the US forgave most of their crimes, reforged their constitution and used it as US base soil to keep an eye on the whole region, while making sure it's economy doesn't end in rubbles and try to bring stronger ties to the neighboring red countries. Hell, Japan is still basically US's small puppy in so many ways (was fun to look at the US meat import ban from sanitary reason getting magically removed as the US threw a stern look at Japan)
So, what you are saying is, that preventive maintenence results in safer cars? Who'd have guessed...

Thing is so, while the ADAC reliability reports exclude brands running their "own" mobility services (often enough outsourced to ADAC, but that's a different story), TÜV data is neutral. And a statistically relevant sample, TÜV is still one of the biggest providers.

It sure means that other brands, with better results, fix certain issues when the inspection is done after maintenance. Which means that Tesla has bad quality cars and bad maintenance plans.
What a fascinating way to say… there are lots of silly ideas out there and we should really take a step back and contemplate this whole intelligent species thing.

”Good yule” in English ;)

”God jul” is either/both Norwegian and Swedish. The two languages are mostly mutually intelligible; written Danish is as well but Swedes and Norwegians usually find Danish pronunciation… not so easy to comprehend.

With Icelandic there’s already much more guesswork and expertise required, mostly because the language has changed little since the days of Old Norse, and has not undergone grammatical simplification or adoption of (mostly Germanic, Romance) loanwords nearly to the same degree as the others.

The "internet reset" message makes sense in all languages that I know. Same with the power button.

What do you think they mean in other languages?
The negative rates phenomenon is fascinating. Little to do with subsidies, lots to do with load balancing / matching generation to demand. Hugenormous generation capacity tends to move slowly (just for the mental model, imagine a steam turbine that can only generate less power by _waiting to cool down_). In order to maintain stable grid frequency, the market steps in with some behavioral adjustment via pricing.

There’s no reason you _shouldn’t_ do the behavior you describe: the more power you can sink during negative pricing, the better the efficiency of the grid! You’d rather any kind of productive use.
RICM has one of those PDP-12s. And RCS/RI also has one! Two of these very rare machines, both in working condition, are located within a few miles of each other.
Nuclear gives electricity continuously. I wonder what happens with earnings for the owner, when a lot of electricity gets generated by wind and solar, with prices moving up and down even more than now. If a nuclear installation is so expensive in fixed costs, will the owner earn it back in 30 or 40 years. I don't know ofcourse, but it does sound like a risk to me.

Gas turbines fit this scenario much better, you turn them on when wind and solar is down. The same with batteries. Batteries aren't in the news much, but there are quite some huge batteries online already, and that might pay off for the owner (buy low, sell high).
I have a cabin with no grid connection.

It has solar panels, batteries, and a gas generator.

Last year, I used the generator one time, for four hours. So, with a half gallon of gasoline, I ran a 1000sq ft home for 365 days.

We can build a grid, today, the same way. It will produce 95-98% less CO2 (depending on which papers you read), while keeping enough gas capacity as backup for those few hours or days, just like my cabin.

While we work towards 80-90% clean capacity, we commercialize the tech to replace the gas.
At least some of this is "support" meaning different things to different people.

AMD means something like "your engineers can raise jira tickets related to the supercomputer you bought". The general idea outside of that context seems to be "support" means "can run stuff on the GPU". There's some analogy to games dev - if call of duty doesn't run on an amdgpu, you also don't get to complain to AMD about it, but the games studio certainly will do. The games studio is the entity with the contact details.

ROCm is fairly likely to run on unsupported consumer cards if you build the libraries from source or use them from someone who did, which is just about viable from linux distributions now. You don't get to raise official jira tickets about it when it falls over because it's "unsupported". You'll have a moderately bad time if you ignore the docs recommendations about the kernel version for a given release, or if the difficult task of building the libraries from source goes awry.

The established packaging idea of only shipping machine code libraries for a subset of the GPUs you sell, and giving very limited information on how to make those libraries exist for other GPUs, is obviously making essentially everyone very pissed off with AMD. Their engineers are aware of that and disagree about what to do about it.

I personally think that'll resolve itself once Debian packaging is generally usable. People will install ROCm from their distro instead of from the official builds which don't have machine code for gaming GPUs anyway. That will give rise to new annoyances but at least the applications will try to run on whatever GPU you've got locally.
