So much hearsay from people who never really used an EV. Yes, there are drawbacks. But except for extreme long range trips EVs are perfectly usable while being more energy efficient and less prone to breaking down.
> the entire explorative part of software development that is really not the strong point of Rust

This is what keeps me orbiting but never quite landing on Rust. Things I'm pretty damn sure are safe come back red-stamped, and once I've painted things the way Rust deigns, I find I've lost my appetite. When desire finally returns, I find the fixes I've made to enable compilation also disallow the changes I wanted in the first place.

For all its faults and runtime bloat, I find myself going for Go on new things I would've attempted in Rust before. Though, I've never tried Zig; I wonder how that is...

Interesting look at how platforms have historically argued they need shadowbans to rein-in bot-produced spam.

However, shadowbans don't fool bots, they only fool humans. So in the end, shadow bans benefit bots and trolls who know to look for them, while demoting content from good-faith actors who don't conceive of shadowbans.

Naively, it seems reasonable to believe that if you adjust all the weights of a neural net towards the behavior you want via SFT and RLHF, that it would compete with/mute/obscure undesired behavior like a back door. But it seems not to be so… Indeed the cute mask does not cover the entire shoggoth— it may still have tentacles (https://images.app.goo.gl/YW9g3BvwGqGwYTgd6)

> will immediately pull their apps from the app store to get around Apple's privacy and security permissions which allow granular control

Permissions work fine on Android, no matter where the code is downloaded from. There's some minor variances (the beloved termux for example can't meet app store requirements) but sandboxing is still intact too.

The platform itself maintains a lot of protections, regardless of how apps are loaded.
I would like to completely agree with that, but when my laptop consistently starts venting like crazy whenever I open a particular webpage, I have to blame the webpage.

An example I have is a food orders website, which takes 4 seconds and 10MB to load, where all I want to do is go unsubscribe for the weekly order (where I need to unsubscribe every week because it's opt-out, I guess it's better for them). This page is crap because it can, not because it brings some value it couldn't without using all that compute power.

Then as a software engineer, many colleagues literally say "memory is cheap" very often, which kind of hints towards the fact that they don't care about optimizing for memory :-).

I honestly cannot really think of something I do now that is really useful for me and that I was not already able to do 10 years ago (hint: I don't use a copilot to code).
Can you say more about your first point? I find that really interesting and much often isn't written about those scenarios.
I remember having the shower thought that you could replace canals with railways by redesigning ships to automatically, rapidly offload containers directly onto some superfast maglev railway, effectively "shooting" the containers to the other side.

But running the numbers on it, you really can't compete on throughput, what with the truly massive capacity of cargo ships. Like, even if it had only 3000 conatiners, it only has to go at 1/1500th of the rail speed (assuming you can stack them two-high) to beat it. This page[1] says panamaxes have traditionally held 5000, with "New Panamax"es carrying 13,000.

(Edit: ChatGPT tells me that transit of the canal takes 10 hours on the high side, and it's 82 km long, so that's an effective ship speed of 8.2 km per hour, meaning the rail would have to go 20,000 km/h to compete on throughput.)

But yeah, the other advantages you mention would apply.

It can't be scraped. The A320neo (and at this point, A319neo and A321neo) order book is filled until the mid 2030's, and that's with Airbus trying to increase capacity as much as they can (they need to ensure quality remain, and they need to take into account how special this period of time is for that and make sure once a downturn happen they don't end up with a dozen factories they don't need).

The airlines, and global traffic / economy are starved for planes.

In an alternate universe, the A380 didn't have his production lines closed and Airbus made a A380neo and sell it like hot cake to help resorb the traffic ?

While repurposing the A380 lines helped, with the A350 selling very well and the A220 ramping up it's not like Airbus has any spare capacity available either.

Ask HN: Should I get Instagram? Tips for socializing
Hi, wanted to socialize a little bit more - what can you say? Is it good to use?
I got ADHD, and maybe it's calming myself a bit more down.

Is there any app I should use for being more up to date with friends and other people I might want to follow?

If not Instagram, what would you recommend me?

I just made an mastodon account but I don't really follow the sense since I am not a blogger nor I do have an online friend community.

I followed the Chaos Computer Club and joined some IRC's of them.

I stopped socializing since many years ago. Now I wanna see if I missed something?

I liked to talk to people a lot but now these days I stopped talking to my "go-to-friends" since they don't like my hyperactive, nervous behaviour all the time. So I am a bit lost here, any helps?

TY.

> except for extreme long range trips

I'm writing this comment having just driven about 2000km-long trip with an EV :-) In cold climate (-5C).

It's not my first long trip, either. My key observations (some were surprising to me):

1. You should expect to travel slower, as you will need to make breaks for charging, and the EV world presents an overly-rosy view of ranges. In a long trip, you use the battery from 10% to around 85%, so only 70-75% of your full "range" is usable. In my case rough estimates are a stop every 2h or 250km.

2. It's not a big deal. Especially if you can find a place to charge where you will also eat or drink.

3. I feel significantly better after a trip with those additional stops, than after a trip with uninterrupted several hours of driving.
> and the software would translate ... in real-time

Depending on the pair of languages being translated between, isn't this literally impossible? The ordering of sentence parts is not the same in all languages (coincidentally, Japanese and English are a perfect example here of how different grammar can be), so you often have to wait until you've heard the whole sentence before you can parse it translate into another language.

Given the above issue, how is what you're envisioning any better than just using Google Translate?

DirectX the API compared to Vulkan: whatever.

DirectX as a whole product: yes.

For the two middlewares Unity and Unreal, on real applications, DirectX 11 will have better latency (lower CPU time mostly), DirectX 12 performance will be higher throughput (greater FPS), but neither will be by very much. Like a single application on ordinary hardware, it won’t matter. But for the thing I measure, occupancy, you can get something like 3x as much efficiency with DirectX on Windows compared to the same application on Vulkan on Linux.
While I'm not the biggest fan of companies trying to land grab the psychedelic craze, there are things that would be nice to have, like psychedelics that don't activate 5-HT2B (associated strongly with aortic hypertrophy, i.e., your heart valves grow too big) over time. Sure, we haven't necessarily seen a ton of direct linkage to IRL use, yet, AFAIPK, but still it's something that's been strongly shown, and most 5-HT2A psychedelics also activate 5-HT2B.

Curious about selectivity against 5-HT3 as well as the nausea can be a problem.

Some people wish for non hallucinogenic 5-HT2A activation and that seems like a bizzarely detached from reality pipe dream. Like, sure, maybe it's technically possible, but are you going to find a compound that selective (likely not) and is it actually going to remove all psychomometic effects (lol no, how do you think these things work)?

There's always tradeoffs, it's like the weirdly detached desire to "reduce hallucinations" in language models but keep the same level of performance. Like, how do you think it's going to learn? You can't just magically make an unbiased perfect estimator with no variance for some limited capacity and data, your variance must live somewhere and in language models it tends to (generally) live in the higher level correlations between concepts.

A good dose of basic mathematics and information theory really could set these fields straight.

In any case, some of the future here looks exciting.
There are 683 data brokers that either completed registration with the California Attorney General's office, or had incomplete registrations as of 2023 [1].

The brokers must check the list no less than every 45 days [2].

As a converse view point, in my experience, in terms of huge methods and huge files / classes, its rare to see developers who have the mindset of "in general, I prefer small files and classes, but in this case, it makes sense to have a huge function, so I make an exception."

What I do see every day is "oh yeah, this method / file is pretty big, lets add one more thing to it anyways, I dont have time to refactor", and things grow and grow out of control.

I think one basic, and yet rare ability of a professional software engineer, and the skill that should separate you from a hobby programmer, is writing your code in a way which can scale and grow. The strategy for this cannot just be "let me put everything in one file, class, method and lets just see what happens".

That can be an OK first draft approach, but there needs to be a second step. And ultimately, if you set the architectural pattern of "big hairball", everyone else will happily follow it since its not their fault the architecture is like that - they are just adding one more thing. That can be OK for a first draft, but you will have to go back and introduce architecture and modularity at some point, or watch the project collapse under the weight of its own mess.

Once you see enough of those failures, you can start sensing basic patterns for introducing modularity, boundaries and structure to a project, to its modules, and to its classes and methods. As you keep flexing that muscle, in my experience, the "this code is best written as a huge single method" approach basically never seems like a good idea anymore.

Most of Dynamic programming is just a method of reducing computational complexity by changing the noun objects in first-order logic (or second-order logic, advanced version) to walk through the answers of unfinished tasks using completed tasks. Only in very few cases is it necessary to extract and match the completed parts from the unfinished objects in the above process, which often involves optimizing a function f(A,B). However, most of the time, this process is futile.
There isn't a lot of toxic material on a modern phone.

The thing about radioactive material is that you need very little of it to become a serious contaminant. But as the thread is about, you also actually need very little of it, so it really doesn't look that out of place.

Another issue is that radioactive material emits energy, what is harder to handle than inert contaminants. You don't want all of that trash with uncontrolled material to catch on fire.

That said, I do agree that our previous carelessness around things like lead and mercury were much more harmful. It's just that we are best careful with both, and the past actions do not excuse doing a harmful thing now just because it's less harmful.

Readers: this is the sort of engagement and dialogue you want to avoid if you’re arguing in good faith. This person is asking me to prove the negative. As the person making or supporting the claim, the onus is on them to support the claim they’re making, which is something like “DEI led to decreased safety” or something. I don’t blame them, if they’re arguing in good faith, for attempting to shift this because as far as I can tell there is zero evidence supporting this claim.

Additionally, I can tell from their comments elsewhere in the post that they’re definitely not arguing in good faith so this is likely an (pretty bad) attempt to just waste my time. If I were to engage in good they would certainly just post some nonsense or keep asking questions like “How is it wrong?” or “Why?”
