Isn’t energy independence more about other countries exports? From the perspective of Germany, their reliance on Russian oil caused a high spike in cost of energy during the current Ukraine invasion. For the US, we don’t really want to be at the whim of OPEC. The 1973 Oil Crisis is a historical example of OPEC taking a religious and political stance and using their oil exports to coerce the US against Israel. Another way of looking at it is that oil production has largely been an effective monopoly for a long time by authoritarian states (many OPEC, China, Russia), many that are politically unstable (Venezuela). There are only a few oil rich countries and many of them are allied with each other so there isn’t strong competition or incentive to keep prices competitive. Many of them view the US negatively.

Apple lets you replace your card number with a new one, but it's not quite the same as creating single-use virtual numbers for sketchy businesses.

Apple Ramps Up R&D Intensity to Pre-iPhone Levels
Most of the folks I've seen be unemployed for a while mostly don't have much for required expenses. No kids, no loans, etc.

You can make living very cheap if you don't have those. You do want to be unconcerned by the "social consequences" though. Like, go dumpster diving at grocery stores instead of shopping or eating out.
I had a similar problem when I got one - died 2 weeks after warranty/return window ran out so I was left with an expensive paperweight. Which is a shame because I wanted to like them.
Were you checking to see if the button state changed between reads? Or were you reading a 1 as "down" regardless of whether the previous read was "up"?

heads up: it's under one of those BSL-esque weirdo licenses [1] parameterised on seats and, get this, a seat is defined as a single CPU core (if you are not an individual). so don't get any ideas about running it on more than 5 mac studios if you're a university that wants to run CI for some open-source project along with those mirrors.

Tired of copy and pasting ChatGPT responses between your web browser and IDE?

How does Voxos help avoid copying & pasting code into your IDE? I had a look around the code base and don't see any indication that it allows GPT to directly edit your source files. But maybe I am missing it?

I'm asking because this is a major focus of my open source AI coding project aider [0]. I always like to see how other projects approach the challenge of letting GPT edit existing code. Most recently, aider adopted unified diffs as the GPT 4 Turbo code editing format [1].

> Essentially, in Chinese philosophy, any given situation has a propensity (water tends to run downhill). It is therefore more effective to work with that propensity, than it is to work heroically against that propensity.

Interesting, this is similar to the Hindu/Indic idea of dharma (e.g. the dharma of water is to flow) and the idea of working with/towards dharma (both of oneself and the world generally). (Dharma refers to both the proper order of things and to the actions one takes to uphold it.)

The way I see it, if they can register if you're using it, then after a year of disuse (or getting close to it) they should send a "we will cancel this for you" type notices.

Ok.

The mean household income is $70k and the average household size is like 2.7.

For a household of 2 people, the HUD low income threshold is $80k. For a household of 3 or 4 it's $90-100k. Although they'd be a bit above the HUD very low income threshold

The Perfect Knowledge Assistant That Does Not Exist
I do agree, snow/ice stuck to the car changes the aero drag a good bit and pushing slush definitely adds a lot of tire drag as well. This can definitely be a major factor.

I live in an area where it can get pretty cold, but usually in quick cold snaps and rarely a lot of snow on the ground. I've found preheating when plugged in completely negated the extra energy needs on shorter drives, but the longer 100mi highway drives still ended up needing a lot of energy to keep the cabin warm. And yes, it takes a ton of energy to go from a freezing cold cabin to warm compared to trying to keep things warm. Every time you stop for a few hours and then go again without having any external power to preheat you use a lot of energy.
There also SDC which is an experimental D compiler not using DMD code. I don't know how complete it is but it is actively updated.
As someone who has built a few hobby speaker cabinets, you absolutely CAN make durable and high quality objects for the home out of MDF. Or even particle board. So I think using taxes to try to discourage the use of certain materials in favor of others is misguided and only likely to lead to manufacturers doing different but worse underhanded cost cutting.

The problem is not the material per se but using inappropriate fastening methods for the type of material and/or a design that stresses the material in a modality where it is weak rather than where it is strong. An example of an inappropriate fastening method would be a screw into the edge of a laminated panel and the joint not glued.

For an example on the done-right side, if you look at any knockdown speaker cabinet kit from e.g. Parts Express, the MDF parts will have bracing and grooves where the user is meant to use wood glue, and screws mainly just to hold it together until the glue sets.

https://www.parts-express.com/Knock-Down-MDF-4-ft-Subwoofer-...

In furniture an example of using MDF in a way that almost has to be intentionally bad design: I have a tall chest of bedroom drawers where the drawer slides are suspended 2.5" off the internal walls by horizontal rectangular blocks of MDF. The blocks are oriented in a way that gravity and the torque on the block causes the layers of the MDF to de-laminate. (Picture riffle shuffling a deck of cards.) The resulting sag in turn makes the drawer slides no longer align.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuffling#/media/File:Riffle_s...

Almost anything else could have been done to make this design better. They could have rotated the grain direction of the MDF blocks 90 degrees. They could have oriented the blocks vertically in the long direction. They could have used 2x3 lumber (vertical or horizontal) instead of MDF. They could have actually made the sides as thick as the facade pretends they are. (The sides are hollow.) They could have brought the sides in to where the drawer slides actually are. Etc. etc.

Some of those things would have cost more or made the (lying) appearance of the furniture less substantial looking. But some of these solutions use the same (MDF) material and same or similar amounts, just different orientation. Either the person who designed it was an absolute dumbass, or it was deliberately made in a way that would fail after more than 90 days but less than 2 years.

Mandating different materials doesn't protect against stupidity or malice.
Show HN: AI-Powered Browser Tab Manager – TabMate
Hello HN,

My friend and I have spent the last month building an AI-powered browser tab manager. It's a Chrome extension that automatically categorizes all tabs into topics.

It also supports some basic organization features like custom groups and locked groups (groups that AI doesn't touch). We would like to experiment with a few other things like nested folders, sync with browser tab grouping, user controlled prompt & categories soon!

At the moment we just started looking for early adopters to help us test it + provide suggestions and feedback! Please consider giving it a try if this sounds interesting to you! (Or tell us here why it's a terrible idea and how it could be more useful! ;D)

Thank you!

... so does that mean the engine is just less efficient, or has it essentially become a paperweight, and is worse than useless for the purposes of keeping a giant metal bird in the sky?

I've been using laptops with Nvidia dgpus and the proprietary drivers under Linux for about 3 to 4 years now, and I've literally never had any problem with the graphics card, the driver, its integration with my system, or anything else. The last year on a rolling release (openSUSE Tumbleweed), too. Maybe that's just me though, who knows.
You can argue that Emacs is a "Lisp machine", in that it's an environment you could conceivably think of as a kind of virtual "machine" in which you can run a particular Lisp (although arguably Elisp isn't what most people mean by Lisp), but this is about Lisp Machines[0], which are very specific historical computers.

I hope it would go without saying to anyone looking to adopt Lisp that this is for historical interest* only and you should instead install a modern Lisp like SBCL or what have you.

I think that even a finitist would admit that it was Turing's work that paved the path to computational complexity theory [1], which could be presented as the finitist view of computability, and is not just plainly meaningful from a finitist's perspective, and not just eminently practical (perhaps indirectly), but perhaps also the very foundation of ascribing meaning to finitism.

So if "nonsense" breeds meaning, is it really nonsensical?

[1]: The birth of complexity theory is attributed to Hartmanis and Stearns's 1965 "On the Computational Complexity of Algorithms, which very directly builds on Turing's work: https://www.ams.org/journals/tran/1965-117-00/S0002-9947-196...
I had the most curious experience when reading this article, or I should say listening to the embedded media. I have had tinnitus for a long time. I was unable to hear the tinnitus sample in this article even if I put the volume up on my phone (through my phone's main speaker). My partner was surprised I couldn't hear it as they sat right next to me. If I put the phone right up to my ear I was able to hear a high pitched tone with the same pitch as my normal tinnitus. However, after listening to the lenire sample 2 or 3 times then I was able to hear that tinnitus sample. Although, soon after, the tinnitus sample seemed to fade away in volume again.
What is wrong with the tone? Is it wrong to point out that those who advocate taking care of one's own digital needs - a.k.a. self-hosting - tend to get shouted or voted down on this here Hacker News site which, if going by its name only would be just the place you'd expect to be the refuge for those who like to tinker and who value self-sufficiency?
My final calculus was adding up what I had spent on storage units, and realizing it was way more than the replacement cost of most of the crap, so I reduced it down to personal momentos only.

You have to think about the whole ecosystem and not only the VM.

Dynamic nature of the runtime, being able to plug agents, changing code dynamically, the IDE experience inherited from Smalltalk vendors that jumped into Java, VisualVM and JFR, ETW, runtime APIs to the JITs, self hosted implementations, nowadays out of fashion, sending bytecodes for RPCs and network agents (RMI, .NET Remoting, Jini), are some of the reasons.
Right, that's expanding to the rest of the subnet in their old DC. They've since migrated to the new DC with new countermeasures. Did the DDOS follow and the countermeasures are working? Or if it didn't follow, why not?

There's also the question of whether the DDOS is still even trying the old infrastructure. The post says it's unreachable, but that would be true if the null route hadn't been removed yet.
Why? Compared to my gasoline vehicle, in the cold, my EV:

- starts more reliably
- warms up quicker
- handles better on ice
- plows through snow better
- the app lets me prewarm it so I don't have to clear ice
- I can do the above in a closed garage without killing everybody with carbon monoxide

Sure the range is reduced but I plug it in every night so I don't care.

This is misinformation. CA raised the threshold for felony grand theft from $400 (which is what it had been since 1982) to $950.

$950 is still lower than
1. The threshold as it was originally set, corrected for inflation
2. The threshold in 40 other states and for the federal government.

It is not legal to steal up to $949 dollars of goods from a store, it's still a misdemeanor which is, despite the name, a pretty serious crime. It's just not a felony.

Police love to use it as an excuse not to do their jobs though, so the misinformation has thrived and spread among those who have strong feelings about criminal justice reform.
> I don't see many signs of that.

neither I do.

And frankly speaking there are little reasons for the west to. Ukraine has already largely contained the conflict and bled out russian military a lot. No need to worry, russia won't attack NATO territory within the current electoral cycle, after which nobody cares what happens next.
The way the NES and SNES work is that once per frame you read from the memory address mapped to the shift register to get all the bits out, one at a time. For certain inputs you only care if it's pressed now. Others you compare to previous state to see if it changed.

Bounce could, theoretically, cause an input to be read as a non-input if it just bounced at exactly the wrong time, but it won't cause multiple inputs, as it's only polled every 1/60th of a second.
This is sad because it is in part the reason why remote work is so hard to advocate for.

Interesting stuff, although I'll admit when I read the headline I took it to mean the literal `large` instance types, which are actually quite small as AWS lingo goes. Whereas the author means actual LARGE instances, ie, an entire box with no hypervisor layer.
I don’t think they’d have any trouble with the math, it’s just a bunch of regressions and matvecs, right?

I think the process of collecting and storing all the data would be more mind blowing to them—of course they were at the beginning of Moore’s law, so they could see the trajectory if they looked for it, but it is one thing to stand on the coast with waves lapping at your ankles and imagine how the ocean gets deeper as you keep going and another to get chucked out of a helicopter in the middle of the Pacific.
If you want an AI to actually do things like answer your questions instead of just complete the question you have to nudge the model to do that which makes it stray from the "best" answer. There's a balance you need to strike between aligning it enough so that it gives answers humans actually want and not aligning too much to degrade the models performance.

People have an axe to grind with OpenAI because they purposely align their model to be boring as the intended audience is companies embedding it in their own products and try to fight the bias inherent in a model trained on the writings of the average chronically online Redditor. The frustration isn't unfounded, if you want to use the model for programming having to pay the 'alignment tax' because someone else is using the model for a customer service bot and can't match energy with an angry customer sucks.

>Also brand loyalty is insanely sticky. The vast majority of people cannot afford to buy one box of every brand of diapers to try out which actually is better, cannot trust what the box says because American laws allow you to blatantly lie on the packaging and MAYBE see a small fine. So your average person is going to hold on for dear life to any product that actually "works", meaning you can literally extract the brand value for a couple years with zero repercussions.

I think this leads to the inverse conclusion.

Consumers are willing to pay a huge premium for name brand huggies and lays, not because they are too stupid or scared to try the cheaper one, but because they can afford it and pay a huge premium to avoid the tiny effort of exploration.

Potato chips aren't a life critical product where you die or starve if no-name brand sucks. The fact that consumers would rather pay $7 per bag than try another says a lot about how much they value their $7.

>When Huggies sells those exact same diapers in a different box for 6 extra cents each, what is that other than naked greed?

Of course. That is the reason anyone makes a diapers in the first place. Nobody is running a non-profit diaper factory. They didnt get more greedy in the last year.
