Yet you need to lay and maintain roads, you're limited to where roads and RFID signs go. You also have the added inefficiency and environmental problems of rubber-to-asphalt contact. In addition, you need to carry batteries which means even more inefficient transportation.
Maybe my prompting needs to improve, I tried recently to get chatgpt to provide a schema for an sqlite database that implements vcard data in a normalised way. I gave up...
I'm not sure I agree that HTML is unpleasant to write. Honestly, even when I'm writing blog posts or articles, I often fall back to writing the HTML myself. It feels about as simple/complex as writing markdown, or using a WYSIWYG editor.

Maybe I just don't like being limited by abstractions.
Yeah, GPT-4 is really good at schema design. ChatGPT can even go a step further and create those tables in a SQLite database file for you to download.
No, I don't think that holds much explanatory power - the vast majority of vulns have not only zero black market value, they also carry effectively zero brand or legal liability risk. This is also the case for this vuln.

Electric buses in Oslo Norway (of all places) is a dictate of politics, not practicality. The people implementing the politics were likely warning about such oversights, but were rebuffed. They will gladly see it all fail, so that they may say: We told you so.

I thought of a sort of interesting idea. In Mountain View the home of Google the city for some reason blocked housing construction for a decade. Meanwhile Google added 16k jobs to the city. The housing market in the whole area went batshit.

What if the city had tried to permit 1 new housing start per new job?

In Portugal what if every tech immigrant builds a house? Every unit of increased demand comes with a unit of increased supply. Theoretically that should flood the housing market with exactly as many new units as there are new immigrants.

When we frame it as “driving up housing prices” we miss the simple idea of supply and demand. If supply always equals demand housing should stabilize.

> Lossless ones are basically just ZIP

Lossless image compression is a vast field with myriad different requirements and solutions, and generalizing like that is just plain wrong. Most lossless image codecs for photographic or similar rendered content don't use a Lempel-Ziv stage like PNG does, they exploit the spatial and possibly spectral correlations to form predictions, be it with simple linear predictors or more complex approaches. However, for simple non-photographic images like cartoons or some such, the LZ-based stage can provide significantly better compression than the simpler prediction-based methods.

Even if the premise of the post is flawed, it's always nice to see people interested in data compression and trying to learn more about it, so I'm all for more "nonsense" posts if it helps draw attention to the field.

Yeah, you'd need someone on the network to be doing something like browsing the internet and coming across a malicious website capable of making requests to other nodes on the local network, or downloading something that gives an attacker userspace access to scan the local network.

From all the diabetic I know, in France, Asia or North America, you're the only one I ever heard of with such recommendation. A friend of mine in France was actively advised _against_ a low-carb diet to control her diabetes. She did it anyway and saw incredible results. Nevertheless, and despite improvement on all indicators in her blood test, her doctor advised her to return to a normal diet and control it with insulin and "complex" carbs. That was in 2019.
Isn’t dual speed limits (lower for trailers) fairly normal in Western Europe? Pretty sure that’s true in the UK for caravans/personal trailers, though I don’t recall if that lower limit applies to commercial trucks.

I don’t know all of the variables to calculate that properly, things like electricity savings from closing refineries and petrol stations are things I can’t calculate. I do see a lot of people spreading FUD on the topic that don’t know either so I’m interested in what your numbers are. What do you think the impact of 25% EV ownership would be?

Edit, from my article:

> Even if we all switched to EVs overnight, we estimate demand would only increase by around 10%. So we’d still be using less power as a nation than we did in 2002, and this is well within the range the grid can capably handle.

So let’s say for 25% of people converting we would have a 2.5% increase in demand on a daily basis. If we spread that over a 6 hour period then we then get back to 10% uptick during that 6 hour period.

Here is the total energy production in the UK over a week: https://electricityproduction.uk/total/?t=7d

I can see that a 10% daily average (4 Gigawatt) bump at night would still put us much lower than daytime, so demand would still be considered low.

Not sure of all my maths and assumptions, happy to hear other views.
I'm wondering why there is so little talk about changing road infrastructure to make self-driving easier to pull off.

E.g. dedicated lanes for self driving or hand-off stations where human drivers can take over etc etc.

Amid the massive potential upsides, any reasonable government would invest in measures that turn out to effectivley improve self-drivability of the respective national grid.

As an eighteenth-centuryist by training and an Anglican priest by vocation, I am sorry to say I had never run across Fr. Woodforde’s diary. But I have dutifully ordered a copy and look forward to digging into it.

I did find it interesting to note that he “noted down prayers for the recently deceased.” This certainly would not have been a feature of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer which he would have used, and, in fact, many of the English reformers had taken great pains to try to stamp out prayers for the dead. But here is a country parson in what is generally considered one of the low points of the English Church praying for the dead. Guess it goes to show that, regardless of what the official position may be on such matters, there is still a residual observance of such forms of obsequy. (And it’s worth noting that the vast majority of BCPs have come around on that question and have re-introduced prayers for the dead.)

For anyone interested in the observances of another country priest, I highly recommend Eamon Duffy’s Voices of Morebath, a diary of a priest who recorded his life before the Reformation, then through the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary, and (IIRC) into the reign of Elizabeth. It’s a fascinating account of a priest trying to do his best amidst the “changes and chances” of those turbulent times. Fascinating reading.

One unexpected benefit of GC is it makes compile time function execution easy to write code for. The use of the GC there does not transfer to the runtime.

Removal of the GC makes for CTFE code becoming much klunkier.

One can see this in betterC mode - the GC is allowed for CTFE code.

Don't be sad! Based on the most recent threads discussing Calibre [0] it would seem that the disclaimer isn't strictly necessary, and actually OP appears to be addressing a problem that resonates with a fair number of people on HN!

My experience is yes, absolutely. As in, the inexperienced beginner will feel the difference faster and more then someone in shape who runs often. Meanwhile, your body if you run often will handle lack of glucose in blood much better, at least subjectively.
How do you imagine this stops public transportation on that route (hint: it hasn't).

(it's also a route that snakes its way through an area where you almost at no point will be more than maybe ~10 minutes walk from a train, underground or tram stop, even if this bus route somehow wasn't running)
Is a car accident and not publicly announcing it as a reprisal sending a message? Seems a little too quiet for that and like it might be cleaning up loose ends by someone else instead.
I think this split is way overstated.

Consider the case where you fundamentally modify the invariants of an object. All you existing instances might now be in some inconsistent state. One way to avoid this is to enforce some unity of code and state. If we instead of modifying all the existing instances just modify instances created from this point forwards, we don't risk messing with the invariants.

Well now we have a standard unix model. The executables are "classes" that get "instantiated" (exec'd) into "instances" or processes.
Smalltalk was always good for rapidly developing GUIs, so whatever the reason was that they only had a half-finished login box to demo, it probably wasn’t Smalltalk’s fault.

> This power that Smalltalk systems have where the code runs in a GUI that is also the editor/debugger/etc has deeply fascinated me recently.

Have you tried emacs?

> And I'd like to actually understand a tool that I'd have to dive into that deeply, and I think I'll never have the time to truly understand all of the VM, the classes, etc.

I've recently tried to do that myself with Smalltalk via the Glamorous Toolkit[1] (a beautiful, modern Smalltalk environment based on Pharo). Because the programming environment itself comes with a Book teaching it, you can basically just read it as a normal digital book, but with the superpower that everything is editable and interactive: you can change the book itself, every code example is runnable and you can inspect the result objects right there, change it, modify the view for it... they say it's "moldable development" because you almost literally mold the environment as you write your code and learn about the platform.

> And I'd like to be able to create applications that run without shipping the entire Smalltalk VM.

That's why even though I really enjoyed SmallTalk, I can't really see it as anything more than a curiosity. I tried using it at least for my own occasional data exploration because it has good visualisation capabilities and super easy to use HTTP client/JSON parser etc., but the system is so heavy (1GB+ of RAM) that I couldn't justify keeping it open all the time like I do with emacs, on the offchance that I might need to use it for some small task.

Anyway, perhaps that's something you might be interested in.

So one ship will have to unload on one side and then another ship will have to pick up the cargo on the other end? So the shipping company has to have two ships, one on each side, and wait for the loading and unloading?

I'm sure smarter people than me have worked this out but it seems like this would take a lot longer than the canal (which only takes 8-10 hours vs 7 hours for this train plus load and unload). Granted ships without reservations have to wait 2-20 days to transit the canal right now, but I suspect wait times for cranes at each end of this rail would be about the same as canal wait times if not longer.

Maybe a shipping expert can chime in here?

My website started as html in 1995, vanilla html, not even css or Javascript. It has evolved to accommodate stats, and at some point (whenever it was that it was first released) I created an ASP template to manage headers, footers, contacts.

Process is simple - copy ASP template, rename, fill in the content, FTP to hosting Co and done.
There is the book that the linked review is covering, The Letters of Gustave Flaubert by NYRB publishing, which covers a lot of his life.

Another is Flaubert-Sand: The Correspondence from 1993, which is a selection of letters between Flaubert and George Sand.

If you can read french, the Rouen collection is probably the most complete, but there are other french collections. If you're just looking to start with Flaubert in general you can start with Mme. Bovary, rightly regarded as one of the best novels ever. Flaubert's control over his sentences, the breathtaking style, is incredible to read.

Why you so concerned with how the public perceives "AI"? They've always been bad at it and we both know that LLMs are not the only part of "AI" that matters. They aren't really concerned with really understanding what's going on, so why entertain their fleeting thoughts?

>Unless you are working on a LLM right now nobody really cares what you are doing in software. Just seems futile.

Well it was the same for web dev 20 years ago. Then data science/big data 10 years ago. Then Crypto/NFTs 5 years ago (ugh). If that clout is a big motivator then you gotta keep following trends. Nothing is stylish forever.

No one will tolerate self-driving trucks that are limited to lower speed than human-driven trucks. Since human drivers have time limits by law, they need to be able to move relatively quickly. Human drivers attempting to move around super slow autonomous trucks is a guarantee for a lot more accidents, more than erasing whatever safety benefits self driving would get in the first place. Also, slow trucks would not be preferred by the logistics managers that arrange truck delivery in the first place. So self driving trucks would have to be a lot cheaper to be competitive. I don't think labor is 90% of the cost of a truck delivery.

The problem is that there are fundamentally 2 different kinds of builds, but the current tooling is weak:

* pre-merge builds on PRs. These should not have privileges, but making the distinction between the two cases requires a lot of care.

* official builds of "master" or a feature branch from the main repo. These "need" privileges to upload the resulting artifacts somewhere. Of course, if all it did was wake up some daemon elsewhere, which could download straight from the CI in a verified way based on the CI's notion of the job name, it would be secure without privileges, but most CI systems don't want to preserve huge artifacts, and maintaining the separate daemon is also annoying.

These things are often not uniformly distributed. Most of the recent layoffs affected teams within Google Assistant, many of which lost more than half of their headcount.

So if you were in Google Assistant, your chance of being laid off was much higher.

Of course, you could counter with, "just don't join Google Assistant lmao", but it's not clear to an outsider what the fortunes of various teams will be. Heck, it's often not even clear to the VPs running those very teams, to say nothing of the rank and file engineers there.

So a bit more compassion please, thank you.
