Indeed (though neither is the USA itself), however you have to try quite hard to damage a battery in a way that means recycling it at end of life is harder than extracting raw elements from rocks in the ground, so a steady-state battery setup is much less vulnerable than the 20th century setup for oil… provided there's sufficient will to actually build the recycling plants and manufacturing capability in most nations, and it's much too early to see how that plays out given the current scale of operations.

Similar arguments also apply to PV cells and wind turbines.

The industry standard for peering is paying the 95th percentile of egress or ingress depending on whichever is greater. Ingress is free for these clouds because egress > ingress overall.
I agree that there are reasonable points, that was the purpose of my comment, I thought the poster had something to offer, but am of the opinion that people won't take them seriously because of their approach.

Emotion is even a valid addition to the conversation if they thought it added to their point. What is unproductive is expressing that emotion by calling a car brand "absolute cancer".

I think it's valid to be upset about Tesla as a brand. I think it's valid to call out repairability issues. Coming across as hysterical means that people won't take you seriously despite that.
Why do investors say you need a business co-founder?
It's naïve to think that frequent layoffs at the periphery of their business (itself not true - there were layoffs in Ads, Search and other similar "core businesses") won't affect their core business. Google loses a bit of its brand value every time it does a big public layoff. At some point, the Google brand will be most associated with the word layoff and nothing else. It affects morale for existing employees and makes the whole company culture just a little more selfish and paranoid.

Associating your company with unhappiness and strife does not come without a cost.

> One thing to consider is that if that's profitable to do at house scale, then it's probably even more profitable to do at grid scale and you'll likely be out-competed by utility companies.

Depends. It may be more profitable for utility companies, but they keep the profit of the economies of scale. It is almost never passed on to the customer.

If you DIY your own energy system, you're free to keep all the surplus generated by it through the life of the system.
What you’re saying is the nice, rational way to describe a scenario.

There is that, and it does happen that way often.

There is also sometimes people just do stupid, self harming things. Either because they are not able to properly process/know/understand what the consequences will be, or because their short term incentives encourage them to at their long term detriment.

Or because the organizational incentives make it worthwhile for them to harm the actual organizations long term interests, and they will be rewarded for screwing over the organization this way.

It’s easy for engineers in particular to look at 2+2 and assume that everyone else knows 4 is the obvious answer, and hence will act appropriately. and they just need to be shown the truth if somehow they don’t understand this

But that isn’t how people often work, especially when dysregulated, stressed out, under outside pressure, etc.

Often, there are many people between the decision makers and the folks who know the actual truth and the inevitable consequences who have incentives that will make them actively hurt anyone trying to tell the decision makers the truth - often because the decision maker implicitly or explicitly wants it that way.

even engineers, though it’s often hard to ‘know’ that when you’re in the middle of it.

Many people will burn their lives to the ground until everyone agrees 5 is the correct answer. Or happily reassure their boss 5 is the answer while burning everyone else’s lives to the ground.

That can make many real life situations very surprising and frustrating for engineers in particular.

Because how could someone do that based on ‘wrong’ (usually just not the same) information? It’s stupid!

Because sometimes for many people, the individual/self interested ‘smart’ thing is to be as ‘stupid’ as possible. And that strategy is not something someone can just change on a dime. It’s inherent.

And sometimes people are just stupid. Even otherwise really smart people.

Petrochem is an economical hydra, with heads in just about every industry imaginable from agricultural to pharmaceutical to packaging. It will be one hell of an endeavor to wean ourselves off of oil, but it needs to be done.
Seems pretty straight forward. A Greek company (Suez Rajan Ltd.) decided to register their ship in the Marshall Islands. They then tried to evade U.S. sanctions on Iran by shipping Iranian oil (using a ship-to-ship oil transfer), but they weren't smart enough to realize that the Marshall Islands were once the U.S. Marshall Islands, a former U.S. colony that still has strong ties to the United States. There was a trial, and the company (Suez Rajan Ltd.) plead guilty, paid a fine, and the U.S. confiscated the oil (which belonged to Iran), which it subsequently sold.

Is there a particular reason to underline/emphasize _The Mashall Islands_? And it is not like the U.S. is the only entity with various sanctions against Iran:

Well I should clarify. There are jobs that I can do certainly, but very few that I’ve thought would given me the internal satisfaction of what academia used to give me (and I think could give me again). Before I was hired as a postdoc I applied for various research scientist positions at places that would still let me publish, but then all the hiring freezes happened. Whether that counts as academia is in the eye of the beholder but at least they pay better.

The only other gig I can think of that would excite me is being a statistical analyst for a baseball team. I know more than one person who made that transition after getting their PhD. Something else is probably out there, too, but I haven’t discovered it for myself yet.

Ask HN: Any update on Sourcehut outage?
I use Sourcehut (sr.ht) as the repo host for a lot of my personal projects. They've been having a serious outage since yesterday. The latest status update I read was that they were in the process of migrating over to a different network provider.

There have been some updates posted to the status page (status.sr.ht), but now it looks like the status page is also down.

Is there anywhere else I can follow along for updates on the outage?
> you might be able to buy a cheap 2GB VRAM GPU

Lol?

It's another ~$100 what would not yield you any performance gains.

Older 5700G was ~$300 so it was hardly a part of a budget build, but 5 5500GT is $125 (and would probably drop below $100 in a half/year) and would clearly offer at least 30fps on FullHD[0] and you would buy it anyway because it's a CPU.

> How is this different than mixture of experts?

It appears like this combines already existing models, rather than training n experts from scratch, which seems like an interesting approach.
It took root in 1919, so I don't think that's actually the issue. The problem is short-term thinking based on financial markets and the ability of corporations to reinvest their capital freely. Regulating stock buybacks and the ability of corporations to invest in markets will cut down on corporate fissure.
Generally that's true, but Hertz specifically does have a few classes of vehicle that only contain one model, and they advertise those as something like "guaranteed make/model" / "reserve this exact car".

And while they do run out, most of the time you will receive what you booked, and at larger airport locations they'll typically substitute something close in size and nature to what you booked if they do run out of your specific class.

I would contest the credible forecaster label when it comes to solar. By now we require evidence that they fixed their biases. If somebody gets something so badly wrong for over 20 years why should we assume they suddenly fixed their models. All historical evidence points to the contrary.
They agree they dont like it when it happens to themselves. They typically don't mind when it happens to other countries (see for example the UN's position on self-detrrmination)

I had a similar process the first time I rented a Tesla from Hertz (about a year ago). Counter-person was surly, gave me the key for the wrong vehicle (!) and gave me incorrect instructions on how to use the key. Hertz did send out an email in advance on how to use a Model 3/Y, including key entry (incorrect, unfortunately), door operation and charging.

Recently I rented one again, and the process was much improved, which I take as an indicator that (despite this sale), they haven't turned completely bearish on Tesla. Counter-person much more knowledgable and agreeable. No mixups. Also, the software has improved. The rental now provides an on-screen tutorial on using the car, and you can now use your phone as a key. Huge quality of life improvement.

Hertz could still do better. They need fast chargers at their location. All cars should be available "fully" charged (80%) with no need to bring the car back full. And they need to get rid of that ridiculous key-cover for the physical key that prevents you from just slipping it into your wallet like God intended.
With OS. functions (including OS.execute) you don't need any third party things or GDExtensions from my point of view. You might check it out if you haven't.

As for the GPL thing: that's exactly the point!

> Range anxiety tends to dissipate after a short time of real world driving experience

disclaimer: havent owned. but i disagree with this, and others have mentioned in thread already. range anxiety dissipates for most people because 1. they mostly drive daily commutes of areas they know and 2. they become intimately familiar with the Tesla and how it finds the next supercharger for you on route.
Both of these dont apply when renting a car most times.

Ask HN: How could we emulate condition variables using Go channels only?
Just some random thoughts, but I've started during the era of J2EE monoliths still being on the rise, when Web 1.0 -> 2.0 was only starting its transition, Python still being niche etc. Amount of insanely boring and inefficient stuff like digging through all the XML APIs and CORBA was self-evident.

It was fun to build totally new (and much simpler) tools, shortcutting quite literal man-years of work with each solution. Like rewriting half of some insanely expensive and over bloated million-dollar Oracle enterprise product into web app that we crunched out in a weekend over pizzas, and then demoed and validated with our clients before next week ended.

Over the years all this exciting new way of doing things has somehow evolved into what feels very much like the older dig-through-XML-schemas-for-hours world.

What I miss the most is the shared mindset of focusing on the problem, using simple tools that were build for purpose. That mindset was commonplace back then, at least in my circle. Maybe that's just a phase (cycle?) the industry goes through.

Lots of good memories and insights in this article.

The 80s and 90s were a time of interesting experimentation in the Japanese PC market. Sadly it eventually it converged into the grey goo of baseline Wintel, just as the contemporaneous and exciting world of keitai just ended up as the same boring smartphones as everywhere else.

Standardization of things like POSIX and languages ironically has the effect of reducing extensions -- most people write to the standard for maximum portability. I do it too. I'm not a fan of single-implementation languages* (python, pearl, go, rust etc) but at least they do hark back to a time when languages really were written with greater programmer affordances (just as CISC machines had all sorts of affordances for writing applications in assembly code, such as BCD instructions, string maninipulation, etc).

* Yes, I know about gccgo and rust-gcc but both were written to be compatible with the original implementation rather than to an independent standard. So de facto those are single-implementation languages.
This is often called "garden leave".

I’ve don’t think I’ve ever seen engineers complain about the rejection rate of Google’s interview process. The more common criticism/meme regards the laziness of running candidates through a unidimensional leetcode gauntlet. Half joking, but why even have engineers run these interviews at all?

That will only happen if we change laws to make boards and executives criminally liable for these types of problems.

We need to pierce the corporate veil and directly go after the responsible individuals when they, either directly or by deliberate ignorance, cause problems that lead to people dying etc. No shielding behind a corporation if your decisions to make lots more bucks led to avoidable deaths.

Something they don't tell you about Germany: there's loads of corruption that is so normalized that nobody even recognizes it as such. Siemens is one of the big pushers of gas technology in Germany. One of the excuses they use is that eventually they will switch to a hydrogen mix and eventually to pure hydrogen. It's all just an excuse to build more gas turbines and grow/maintain/protect their business.

I think it is interesting that people accuse Germany of being "irrational" while if it was Italy for example, people would immediately call out the corruption.

> all of those projects are much more magical,

Oh, they are not. They are more powerful, but they use rather simple concepts. Speaking as the user of Phoenix LiveView who even created his own templating library to work with it.

> htmx generalizes the standard hypermedia controls found in HTML: anchors & forms

Those are not "hypermedia controls". As I said elsewhere: stop appropriating concepts for your benefit.

> the basic ideas of HTML

The "basic idea of HTML" is "render a text page with a few images in one rendering pass with links to other such documents". That is it.

You are perhaps referring to the hypertext vision of Sir Tim Berners-Lee, but that is as far removed from HTMX as HTMX is removed from any other concepts it keeps trying to appropriate.

HTMX is a utility lib with a few diffing utilities that does what nearly every other library does, but chose the high ground of "we're doing it with HTML chunks, so we're better and this is what the founders envisioned".

You're not better. This is not what founders envisioned.
