A low carb diet may still contain enough carbs to inhibit the ketone generation mechanism. Was your ketogenesis active at the time? My experience of exercising under ketogenesis was OK.
Been quite cold in Norway last few weeks, and the news just loves to write stories about electric cars / buses having problems in that kind of weather.

Of course it happens. But actually to a lower extent than ICE cars. The small 12v battery in an electric only needs to turn on the systems, and you're good to go with some reduced range. The 12v battery in an ICE will often have a hard time starting the motor in these temperatures. But that's not as news worthy..

I haven't loaded this up so maybe this has been accounted for, but I think a critical feature is tying the original SQL query to all artifacts generated by Vanna.

Vanna would be helpful for someone that knows SQL when they don't know the existing schema and business logic and also just to save time as a co-pilot. But the users that get the most value out of this are the ones without the ability to validate the generated SQL. Issues will occur - people will give incomplete definitions to the AI, the AI will reproduce some rookie mistake it saw 1,000,000 times in its training data (like failing to realize that by default a UNIQUE INDEX will consider NULL != NULL), etc. At least if all distributed assets can tie back to the query people will be able to retroactively verify the query.

But you get that not everyone has this fear and therefore extrapolating that this makes humans innately better drivers, right? Also fear and anxiety can make you more alert on what you’re focusing on, but it narrows your focus and can destroys your situational awareness that your peripheral senses give you. There’s no clear link that fearful drivers are better drivers.

> People deciding to drive while sleepy doesn't mean it isn't scary to do so (in fact it's horrifying)

You’re generalizing your personal emotional response and opinion and assuming everyone or a substantial majority feels that way. That doesn’t seem like a safe assumption given that fear driving tends to not be so common because that tends to be more common in people who learn as adults.

Well… sort of. C has become a standard with several implementations. It gains supply chain security by being decentralized. Likewise, it has many package managers with different repos for language specific things, and it then has many package managers and repos if we consider UNIX/Linux systems C development environments with dynamic linking and the like.

The issue is, for any given implementation, similar attacks could still happen, and the package repos are still probably vulnerable.
As someone who has been using about a dozen programming languages over more than two decades, I completely disagree with your experience, some of which appear to be due to incomplete knowledge of the Fortran programming language, including your statement "lacking in standard IEEE numerical things such as a function to check for nan". Everyone talks about C and C++, but we all know in our hearts how terrible the syntax of these languages is.

As far as I understand, work on Crystal started when Ruby on Rails was the hottest web framework. The original purpose was going to be running your RoR apps that outgrew MRI. Yes, code would have to be adapted to run on Crystal, but that would be much easier than rewriting everything in a completely new language.
As much as I hate to admit it (especially because I'm not a tech lead), these are good principles, but implementing them is not always straightforward.

You should probably strive to empower your team and provide support for individual growth, but actually doing that can be hard, especially when the "support resources" (training budget, tech lead time,...) are limited.

My understanding, it's ruby like, but statically typed and compiled. Basically instead of trying to retrofit ruby with these features without breaking things (like Shopify and friends do with JITs, AOTs, sherbert, etc), this is bottom up approach around these features.

Due to it's infancy the packages are sparse, so what some people do is a hybrid approach, where they write their thing in Ruby/Rails and kick out the slower parts to Crystal. This kinda gives the best of both worlds. Crystal (last I checked) had slow compile times, so gives you the dev velocity and package availability of ruby, plus the speed of a compile language when you need it. The compile times on Crystal stay low because you're only writing a small parts/microservices of your application in Crystal.

Here is the electricity production for the UK over the last week: https://electricityproduction.uk/total/?t=7d

Not sure how it is for other parts of the world. Maybe places with heat pumps like Norway are different? We have a lot of gas for heating.
This looks really helpful! I'm working a lot on graph databases and am wondering, if there are similar projects working with say neo4j.
I guess because you don't have a schema, the complexity goes up.
My recommendation on short notice would be to get a couple Mr. Buddy/Mr. Big Buddy heaters. You can get days of use out of one if you buy an adapter and a propane bottle for a gas grill. Says on the box they are indoor safe, just be careful where you place them because they get very hot. This will probably be more effective than a space heater run off a generator.

As for eating well get a camp stove. You can also run this off a big propane bottle with the same adapter used for the Mr. Buddy heater. You can use the camp stove to make side dishes. You'll also want an outdoor grill. Webber charcoal grills work great and you can do both hot and low and slow cooks with the right technique. Since you have a generator you could also consider an inexpensive pellet grill. This will require electricity, but not much. You can use this type of grill like an oven, and it is much easier to manage compared to charcoal. With this setup, you can make anything. Pizza, chicken, roast, and ribs all come to mine. I'm smoking a chuck roast on my pellet grill in the snow right now.

Thinking long term, I've been thinking of the same thing with the low temps and heavy snow we got in the PNW this week. My house is also all electric. I have a heat pump and electric aux furnace. Heat pump is slow start/solar ready and has been doing fine with temps in the teens. It only needs 30 amps to run. I looked into whole house generators and I'd need an enormous propane tank to run it for just a couple of days. Having the heat pump available year round is appealing. Has anyone gone with a smaller generator to just run their heat pump?
The problem with rail is that most businesses don't want a whole train worth, and removing just a single car from the train is hard.
Right. From OP's comment I get the sense that the real problem is that Calgary's grid is poorly managed and may not be well placed to add the necessary capacity. For other, better managed grids in the world, you're almost certainly right.

> While MRC behaviors are annoying for other road users and embarrassing for the AV developer, they do not add undue risk on surface streets given the low speeds and already chaotic nature of city driving.

Except in the case of Cruise.

MRC could be handled somewhat successfully for trucks on the highway on sections of highway with good cellular data connection. You could have someone making minimal money play a driving game on the computer all day to keep them paying attention. If an autonomous truck encounters an unusual situation, their screen switches over to a camera feed for the truck, and they can take over the controls of the truck to get it past the obstacle.

Not sure what fraction of highway has sufficient connection to give them a sufficient live feed. Probably a lot though.

One correction - Alberta's wind turbines aren't generating power because the wind speeds are low, not because of cold. Wind speed around Edmonton yesterday was under 5 m/s and today as well. Most of Alberta's wind farms are around Pincher Creek where wind speeds are forecast to be below 5 m/s for the next few days. 5 m/s is important because it is around these speeds where most wind turbine start generating power.

Most wind turbines will run just fine at temperatures of -30 C with a few internal heaters for fluids and some electronics.

Self-confidence is helpful alongside agency, but I think it's a totally different concept.

Agency is about self-awareness and realizing that you have a choice. Lack of agency means going along with the default, societal script or what is handed to you even if it is not a good option for you.

One example is dropping out of a university program, even if you are capable of graduating. There is a strong social expectation that you finish, but maybe you don't like it, or your time is better spent elsewhere. Agency is that realization that you can choose.

Android linter does check that access to APIs added in newer versions is gated behind a version check, for example.

And the few that would use such devices are so far and between that any issues don't surface

What's the origin behind the name Vanna?
the HN crowd tends to be overzealous about the pace of change in several industries. Electricity here is a good example.

No, the electric grid is not constantly adding power capacity. In fact, capacity expansions are planned on the timescale of decades. the previous comment is accurate - everyone switching to EVs even on a single, 80 home street can cause havoc for which we are unprepared.
This is a good point. They could have multiple rail yards that all feed into the one main transcontinental railroad.

This entire thread started with a comment talking about how the grid hasn't been upgraded to keep up with demand. We've also all seen what happens in places like Texas during cold periods. Even beyond just demand, look at how California has a utility that regular burns down entire cities due to poor infrastructure and maintenance.

Gasoline itself freezes at -75°C/-103°F.

I gather the temperature in Calgary is around -30°C. So I presume it's the pump infrastructure that can't handle the cold, not the fuel itself freezing (which would also impact vehicles).

I used to live in Ottawa where it got that cold at least once a year (I remember skiing in Tremblant once at -40°C) and their pumps still generally managed cope - at least before they started getting LCD screens.

Not only is the math not unrealistic, but I'd argue EVs have a fairy obvious structural advantage that makes their convenience advantage clear without having to do math at all.

A large percentage of personal vehicles mostly take short distance trips between which they spend the vast majority of their life parked at one of a handful of consistent locations. Even with slow charging, EVs have ample opportunity to "refuel" with no additional time investment. As for monetary cost, the electricity to refuel an EV can be generated by a huge number of sources to leverage the cheapest (or greenest if that's what you want to optimize for) ones and be centralized to take advantage of economies of scale. Even if the electricity is fossil fuel generated, a power plant can be far more efficient at turning that fossil fuel into energy than your car engine can.

This is different than saying this charging reality is true for everyone right this second, but they key point is that it's possible for EVs while it is fundamentally impossible for traditional internal combustion vehicles. Your ICE car is never going to be able to be refueled at home overnight or at work during the day. It will never be able to take advantage of solar or wind or nuclear energy. Refueling an ICE car might be fairly convenient now, but this is as good as it gets, it's never going to get any better. My current situation doesn't allow me to charge an EV at work or home, so it would be marginally less convenient for me. But that's pretty fixable in the grand scheme of things, while I'm never going to be able to refuel my ICE car while I sleep.

Anyone doing the comparison between ICE and EV now and not accounting for all the extra upside room to grow EVs still have (and ICE does not) is definitely missing the forest for the trees.

> Decrypt https traffic?

HTTPS/TLS prevents MITM attacks, but rogue certificates can be installed to sniff the plaintext, but that's exceedingly rare and hard to do. IANAC (I am not a cryptographer) and that's the best 2 cents I can manage, sorry. But things like DNS can be sniffed off the wire easily, and anything in plaintext HTTP is fair game.
> No guarantee of a timely response from remote operators or backend services.

> Therefore, all safety-critical decisions must be made by the onboard computer alone.

Why is the requirement that all safety-critical decisions must be made on board, versus the seemingly-simplifying assumption that only some or most decisions would have to be made on board, because a remote operator or backend service could be available a lot of the time? It doesn't seem unreasonable to me to have a single operator remotely monitoring multiple vehicles that are autonomous under ideal conditions (driving along a straight road in good weather) and then taking over when necessary. Let's say you would only use such a system for major routes with solid satellite visibility, not last-mile routes hauling heavy equipment on a dirt road in the boonies, or something like that. Maybe this wouldn't work, but it's not obviously ridiculous to me, so I wonder why he just starts out saying the truck most be fully autonomous with no human ever in the loop.
Correct. That energy stored in the battery needs to go somewhere. Failing fully charged LFP is no less dangerous than any other chemistry.

Clickbait is content titled in a way that intentionally obscures the critical information, forcing one to click through to find it, when that isn't necessary.

The fact that it's needlessly inflammatory ("North America can't build nice apartments") is unfortunate as well. I guess the one in which I live is shit?

A non-clickbait title for this content might be "[how] the two-staircase rule limits apartment construction in North America".

Note how it was both possible and easy to name the rule before the click, if one wished to do so, rather than bait people into clicks.

The most success I had with AI+SQL was when I started feeding errors from the sql provider back to the LLM after each iteration.

I also had a formatted error message wrapper that would strongly suggest querying system tables to discover schema information.

These little tweaks made it scary good at finding queries, even ones requiring 4+ table joins. Even without any examples or fine tuning data.
What do you mean? The emergency alert went out at 6:30pm when it was dark (no solar) and no wind (not windy and/or too cold for wind turbines to operate). Having more of grid rely on solar & wind wouldn't help. Replacing fossil fuel sources (which the NDP gov't paid $2B to do) has made situation worse. Gas generation going off line is a separate issue.

There are many, many situations where delete_at is a completely reasonable operation. It may be O(n) but it is a blazing fast O(n) as it is just a memmove. For example if you are writing a TODO app and you want to delete a task it is likely a very acceptable solution. You would need millions of tasks before you couldn't remove it withing a few milliseconds. Most other solutions even though they have better time complexity would be slower in practice. (But benchmarks would be needed to verify this).

I would say that the biggest concern with delete_at is if you are using it inside another O(n) loop, then it becomes O(n^2) which does scale up fast enough to become a performance issue.
