You have to warm them up, but let’s not pretend that EV and ICE are equally impacted by the cold.
> Companies declare that they are trying to build better AI, and the ultimately purpose is AGI.

They do declare it, but nobody has even come up with a plausible path from where we are today, to anything like AGI.

At this point they might as well declare that they're trying to build time machines.
Torrents also rely on content-addressing, they go hand-in-hand :)
Is there a similarly low-level synchronization mechanism that doesn't work this way? .NET's does the same thing.

I guess I might have preferred if both Java and .NET had chosen to use a dedicated mutex object instead of hanging the whole thing off of just any old instance of Object. But that would have its own downsides, and the designers might have good reason to decide that they were worse. Not being able to just reuse an existing object, for example, would increase heap allocations and the number of pointers to juggle, which might seriously limit the performance of multithreaded code that uses a very fine-grained locking scheme.

I think the problem is economics. Electric charging stations already have less ability to service as many customers per hour as gas stations. Requiring that they also provide a heated building for the cars to charge in would make it even more expensive. The upcharge for such costs would make the power more expensive and the business less competitive.
Seems to be a similiar problem field as writing blocking functions that call async functions in C# and co-existence of synchronous and asynchronous code.

I use the Accept-Language per site add-on [1] for this.
It allows me to map top-level domains to preferred languages. Most of the time, this has worked well for me on sites which respect the header.

For example, `.de` sites tend to be originally written in German, so I map the `*.de` pattern to the German language.

> a Linux scheduler written "during Christmas break, just for fun", is better that the current one.

...with certain workloads

i.e. it might be a bit better in a few specific cases, but a bit worse in a large number of more common workloads.

Not that I'm trying to take anything away from the work - getting on par with the well-tuned-over-many-years scheduler for any workloads is an impressive feat. But saying it's "better than the current one" without the caveats made by the original author is oversimplifying to the point of being misleading, I think.
Worth noting that content-addressing is not meant to help making the data itself permanent, but it does help with making the identifier of the content permanent.

It doesn't guarantee that the content the ID resolves to is available, but once you have a content-addressable ID, you can be sure you'll be able to get the data as long as the data is available somewhere on the network.

The browser UI is missing. There might be extensions that scratch that itch.
EV industry is ripe for disruption. New startup could introduce "mobile charging station", a diesel generator on a trailer. And some hackers could modify EV firmware to charge while driving.

Next iteration could skip batteries and plug electomotors directly into generator.

Some "supercharging" stations are powered by diesel generators. So this is not a joke!

Or maybe some sort of swappable unit for a car, it could contain batteries or small generator. At week I would drive at city on electricity, for holiday trips I would swap power unit for petrol!
How would the vanilla scheduler know which process is associated with the currently active window? You're assuming there's more cooperation between the various layers of a linux desktop than I think there really are.
Our team quite recently switched from GitLab Wiki to (a self-hosted) Outline.

The initial impressions were very good but after using it daily for a couple of months I really don't like the default theme(s) (dark nor bright) as the formatting options are very limited and the end result is less readable documents. You can probably tweak these things but we haven't gotten there yet.

The search is great and you can set explicit "edit mode" in your profile settings so both reading and editong becomes clearer.
Absolutely - that sounds like it would be a good approach. The main point I'm trying to make is that (at least, in my experience) there at least two classes of "guitar-related information," one that's amenable to rote memorization - like the notes on the fretboard, music theory "facts", etc - and another category where the information sticks better and in a much more usable way if it's learned in context. I would think that "ear training" (specifically interval identification) would probably be somewhere in the middle - you could benefit simultaneously from the "rote" memorization and also apply it on the fretboard).

I spent a long time just playing the different 3nps shapes and never had them really soak in until I started picking small chunks of them out as useful during improvisation and really focusing on them while playing over loops or just noodling.

What would be really awesome, especially if you're improvisation focused, would be some cards that have a short backing section attached to them - so that you can hear some musical context and then work on some small chunk of information (like 2 or 3 strings of a scale). Something like that would probably the best of both worlds and I bet you could learn a lot of material really quickly that way.
Getting a real, in person, therapist is already a pain in the ass. Finding a place that takes your insurance and isn't fully booked is a real process. There's now super easy access to apps for Telehealth therapy like Talkspace that insurance likes to endorse, but the quality on all the ones I've tried is very low. It's basically Uber for Therapists (and not 2013 Uber).

The hours are usually pretty constrained, the therapists are not great in general, they'll cancel last minute all the time. I had one show up clearly drunk. You'll get therapists that tell you they only do text messaging, no phone call or video chat.

Found a lady whose profile looked like it aligned pretty well with what I was looking for, but she apparently rejects all appointment requests from men (had my wife try to make one and the lady accepted it within minutes).

It's a shit show. I have no doubt AI therapy will become a thing.
The top of the article says this affects certain EVs particularly Tesla. What do other EVs do to mitigate this?
Also measure many times, and make sure any difference you see isn't accounted for by variation in the test system (CPU frequency scaling due to temperature, your test being run partly (or entirely) on low-power cores if your CPU has such a distinction, network contention if you aren't working locally or over a link dedicated to the tests, etc.).

Also where IO is at all involved remember to test both cold and warm starts, and make sure that if your new version seems faster in the results that it actually is rather than a previous run having “warmed up” something. Make sure any prep you do before each measurement doesn't inadvertently change the results – keep prep and actual the tests separate (and cool down between if trying to analyse cold-run performance). On this latter point I once had a heck of a time convincing someone that his new index hadn't sped up a SQL query by an order of magnitude – he was correctly running from cold each time but was adding the index and running the query immediately (without dropping cached pages between), the affected table was small enough to fit in memory and adding the index caused a full scan so when the actual test was done the system was no longer cold.
In the past I owned a Chevy Volt, and I currently own an all-electric car (not a Tesla). Honestly, I think the industry (led by Musk) made a huge mistake in trying to "skip over" plug-in hybrids.

Plug-in hybrids are the perfect car for most people - I won't repeat myself but a previous post on the topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38863491

Literally none of the problems pointed out in this article apply to people with plugins, and you still get 95% of the benefit of having an EV.
Think of gas automobiles in 1924. (Ford Model A)
That's about where we are again in this century with EVs.

I don't see what this all has to do with Component Pascal (the language report is not by Mössenböck, but by Pfister et al., btw.). You should instead have a look at the Newsqueak publications. There are more similarities of Go with Algol than with Oberon. Newsqueak reused a few features of Pascal, some of which are still present in Go.

The Acme editor has similarities with the original, text based Oberon system user interface, which unfortunately shares the name with the language, but is not the same thing. The user interface of the Oberon system again looks like a stripped down version of the Cedar environment developed at PARC (where Wirth had his sabbatical).

The object model of Java directly traces back to Simula 67, not to Smalltalk or its descendants (see e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccRtIdlTqlU&t=2444).
I get what you’re saying but not specifically how you’re imagining the implementation. What do you envision the difference between thunderbolt and usb would be in this case? All complex/bandwidth-intensive applications would be better suited to use PCIe directly, but the problem has always been that for various peripherals this imposes a (small) cost manufacturers would rather not pay and would prefer to have the usb spec abstract over.
> the medical field refers to "misdiagnosis leading to death" as "Wednesday".

Bull. One of the challenges of the medical profession in the XXI century is that google-assisted patients are ready to sue at the minimum sight of anything even slightly off the perfect diagnosis and treatment.

Yes, a lot of doctors are assholes, often with a god-complex - not unlike every other human being out there - but the fact that you can sue the assholes keeps them increasingly in-check. AIs have no conscience and can't be sued - you can sue the parent company, at which point it will just become a business cost, in the same way chemical certain companies put aside a bit of cash to pay before they discharge crap into rivers.

> I want not a single dropped frame in those circumstances. Sure - you can have some lower res frames, but I don't expect to see 30 frames dropped in a row and a big glitch.

This is quite difficult, I think. You only know how bad the connection is after dropping a frame or two, and the intervening network will detect it before the endpoints do.

From an application level, I suspect that on the socket layer level you can't do anything about TCP anyway, the underlying layer will retransmit after a delay.

[EDIT: Just realised you meant video frames, and not network frames. I think my comment still applies though - dropping a single transmission unit that is part of an I video frame still means discarding that entire frame, whilst dropping a B or P frame is going to result in glitches.]
You must be one of the handful who pronounce "Mu Torrent" correctly and not as "You Torrent" for uTorrent as well.
And how this is an "ethics" issue? It is simply bad data which should be corrected according to the goal of the system (giving a proper diagnosis).

If I construct a ML system to classify animals into kingdoms but my data is lacking e.g. cats so it skews the results away from the goal is that an ethical issue?
> Adaptable Linux Platform (ALP)

New one on me, I had to search for its meaning. This seems to be a SUSE marketing term. But what I read seems to be some kind of immutable distribution with heavy focus on containers.

Good for SUSE, glad right now my distro is not going down that path and as far as I know there are no plans for that. But I am sure someday upstream may force it to.

When that happens, depending on how it plays out, off to OpenBSD full time, I use BSD now to test all development I do on Linux. I really like the simplicity of pledge(2) and unveil(2) plus the protections OpenBSD has by defaults. Testing on OpenBSD helped find some obscure bugs in a few of my objects.
>my main motivation to survive the next decades is to be able to watch the whole thing spiral out of control

I hope you feel better soon -- for both of our sakes.
I can kinda understand (though not always agree with) fuzzy matching in the case there are 0 results that match the given filters. Something like a heading entry "No matches found. Showing closest matches" or maybe even just always sticking them at the end of short results lists. I can't understand just assuming every match for any search should be fuzzy just because there might be a use case it helps for certain searches. Or even a "fuzzy match" type filter option, though I think you'd find extremely few people actually use it.

I.e. the UI needs to be there to efficiently help the user do what they ask not to try to be smarter than the user. Unless the user asks for fuzzy matches it doesn't make sense to make the response lead with them.

It's interesting that for this journalist the group chat is always an extension and in some way connected to her "real" life.

There is not really a mention as to how I, and I believe many other, really use group chats. Yeah. Of course I have a couple group chats with people I know... But these do not compare to the ones that I'm in that have been formed entirely online.

The dynamics might be similar but in my experience online (born) groups tend to be much more chaotic and there's a drift of members coming in an out that's quite interesting. For many that I've met they might chat everyday with the people in the group to simply disappear one day and never come back, or perhaps come back a year or two later (if the group is still alive).

I think it stems from the fact that for the journalist "group chats" are linked to apple's technology "iMessage". But for me, when I think of group chats I think of discord servers, IRC channels, etc. I mean, Ive been using group chats for years before the smartphone came, and the experience I had back then is pretty much identical to the one I have today. I was the kind of kid that was in front of the computer all day anyway.

The people who accuse every legitimate criticism as being a hit piece are insufferable.

This is a very real problem - especially because, imagine the heat pumps you just mentioned. You go to the grocery store. There's no heat pump at the grocery store. You are quite limited in your travel by how long you need to be at your destination for - which sucks.

All batteries "hold charge" at low temperatures. The problem is that the cell voltage drops such that it won't provide much current. But the energy doesn't go anywhere, it will come out once the battery warms up.
it's currently 13°F in Dallas right now, so not really sure the point of calling out specific cities. it's winter. it gets cold in winter. things have problems working correctly in that cold of winter.

your example of someone that lives so far north that their coming hundreds of miles south still means they are further north than most people is proving what? nice story and all, but the point is a bit lost
Better than nothing. Especially if you panic. It’s even better if they don’t kick in at all.
Looks cool but judging purely by the screenshot it seems to be systemwide w/ filters rather than per-adapter?

> The internet traditionally uses location-addressing. A DNS name pointing to a IP which has a specific geographical location

I fully agree, it's a jungle out there with contradicting or outdated studies and and and. Humans aren't that perfect either though. Personal knowledge can get outdated too and not all keep themselves up to speed. A less that ideal test result can trigger a different test or can get dismissed as "not so bad". Correlations can go unnoticed. An annoying personality might get invited less often for checks. So really, there are some aspects where AI can increase the quality of the medical act. Indeed we are far from replacing it so I won't even bother thinking about it right now, I mean me as a patient. But extra help? Please bring more.
I've seen startups claiming to solve these with reachability analysis. I think upgrading libs regardless could be a better solution, particularly for high-risk vulnerabilities.

There are extensions that let you set per-site scripting policies (NoScript) and per-site cookie policies (Cookie AutoDelete, others) but I took a quick look on the Firefox add-on site and there aren't any extensions that let you set a per-site browser locale, only ones for quickly switching it globally.
The main advantage IPFS has over torrents with magnet links is global deduplication / a global swarm. If you seed a torrent that just contains book A, and I seed a torrent that contains books A and B, I won't provide any bandwidth to people downloading book A through your torrent. If we were using IPFS, someone downloading book A will be able to pull from both you and me, even if we don't personally know about each other and started seeding independently.

What's fun about this is that I was taught from my mother, and her mother before her, to use Butternut Squash when making "pumpkin pie" from scratch.

That language only obliquely mentions the issue. It is nowhere near clear and direct enough for someone who is just, for example, using a third-party library that is affected. And then it's stuck inside detailed documentation that anyone who wasn't personally planning on adopting virtual threads is unlikely to read.

This seems like it's at least vaguely headed in the direction of that famous scene from early in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:

“But the plans were on display…”

“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”

“That’s the display department.”

“With a flashlight.”

“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”

“So had the stairs.”

“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”

“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”
AI 2.0 combined with the insane number of health markers Apple Watches and the like can collect will definitely hit GPs hard since preventative care is one of the main things they do afaik.

That's an interesting claim. Do you mean on all hardware it's IO bound? I would think it depends on the disks, concurrency setting for make, memory size, memory speed, and number of availabile cores.

Trump derangement syndrome is real.

American academia's obsession with rendering Trump ineligible to run for election on Jan 6 related technicalities is the latest version of that.

That they do it in the name of protecting democracy is ironic, given the extent to which it violates democracy in spirit.

In 2023, donors started threatening to pull funding for academic institutions in the face of some frankly 'deranged' activism. Add to that plausible accusations of fraud, the collapse of the DEI complex plus an adversarial Supreme court ....and for the first time, elite academic instructions feel a real sense of insecurity.

The subsequent cleanups seen at elite media houses and top universities is a precautionary measure. They bit off too much too soon. They're going back into hiding with a pretty facade for a few years.

Sadly for some on the frontlines, the vanguard had to be purged. Sucks to be them. In 20 years, someone will say the same things, make president and they'll be stuck shaking their fists at the clouds.
