It really depends on what you're looking at. Disclaimer, I'm a mechanical engineer and not a CS guy. A lot of the stuff if you're doing say quantum computing is understandably math heavy. But if you're say designing a flying kite-like generator, it's more "engineering math", if you know what I mean? (Which is what I'm comfortable with)

You’re talking about pan India averages.

No not really. We have found a few smaller players but their ability to scale concerned me. We talked to one and I asked "if we do a new acquisition and I need 2000 Mac desktops in a month. What would you do?". I was surprised that they were as honest as they were, they simply said they could not procure that many in that period of time. We are a big AWS shop, I think a solution we are toying with is using Mac ec2 instances and building an orchestration layer that essentially setup one for a user, load the base tooling, enroll in MDM and email the customer with login details. Im not sure what protocol we would use yet though.... anyway... tldr NO.

Tegmark's paper does seem related in that it is arguing that proposals like Bartini's might produce a universe that is 'dead'. It seems that Tegmark's paper is suggesting that only 4 dimensional (3+1) universe produces a world with 'observers'. The math is beyond my ken.

The car company likely won’t have this as an official add on because of the obvious safety issues. Even in its folded up state, this presents a significant risk to others on the road in case of an accident (ie, decapitation, death, impale). Higher the speed (highways), the higher the chance of it becoming a projectile missile.

Also what kind of weight is added here? Solar panels are heavy af. The mileage added via roof charging is significantly reduced due to less efficiency.
What do you recommend to switch from Python to Java or JVM based languages like Scala? I have developer experience with personal projects, but I can't seem to get shortlisted to any of the bigger companies which use them.
> so during the Mangalore flight landing attempt, the first officer asked to divert to another airport (twice) but the captain refused.

I didn't know this, but guessing that something like this happened is precisely why I brought it up. The fix for a broken safety culture in aviation isn't arresting mechanisms so that it's impossible to crash: it's addressing whatever series of events and incentives led to the captain making that decision, whether that means providing extra training, or finding the source of pressure from his superiors to avoid the diversion.

It is probably the case that Indian airline aviation has actually made these changes now. If so, it is a dramatically better intervention than your proposal for an arresting mechanism at one airport. India received the highest grade for airline safety last year.

> the alternative would be to find another rickshaw driver who limits the number of kids to 5. sure, it will be expensive but human lives should have more value than a 100-200Rs/month savings.

Why stop at only that 100-200Rs/month savings? There are probably many other sources of avoidable safety risk in India. What percentage of a poor person's income would you dedicate to more expensive safety improvements?
I mean, I wouldn’t bet on that either. We built the “computing” empire on silicon, but we might be able to very significantly improve on this with a single discovery/invention. All the computational stuff we built/figured out will move out without trouble.

Every time you glue on an extension to your markup language - or do a specialization with DITA, or modify S1000D via the BREX, or combine a dozen different MIL-STD DTDs to write your snowflake publication - you've reduced the volume of the tools ecosystem needed to render and write the thing. If everyone does this, you're effectively using a bespoke doc spec for each application, or even for each program or product.

Not all computing platforms allow users to do whatever. Eventually these disparate doc platforms will need to get merged, updated. What happens when Restrictive Platform X needs to update your Special Format? They fork, and they use a doc markup that's workable on a generic platform. Welcome to Double Work Town.

Anyway, it's pretty important to select a markup whose core specification does all the things you need on a generic computing platform[1]. Many different paths branch from that one singular fact, but I'll stand by that singular fact. Seen too many decades flushed down the toilet of churning doc/markup formats.

[1] That doesn't require frickin admin access for trivial writing tasks, like changing DTDs.

Your viewpoint is very American and very Protestant. A lot of these things you call changes I saw as a regular feature in the evangelical south in the early 00s.

> Note that Rust doesn't fix this problem. Rust just encodes the assumption of pre-known lifetimes much more strongly in the language. If you're not in such a domain then you have to fall back to refcounting, which is (a) slow and (b) easy to get wrong such that you leak anyway. Early versions of Rust used refcounting for everything and iirc they found anywhere between 10-15% of the resulting binaries was refcounting instructions!

Well, modern idiomatic Rust only uses Arc/Rc on the few objects where it's needed, so the overhead of reference count adjustment is so tiny as to never show up. You typically only see reference count traffic be expensive when either (a) everything is reference counted, as in ancient Rust; or (b) on super-inefficient implementations of reference counting, as in COM where AddRef() and Release() are virtual calls.

Kind of a nonsense headline.

The claim is that it is 3x more efficient with memory than Linux. What it actually means is that it has a kernel that is a fraction of the size of the Linux kernel.
At the core of HarmonyOS is LiteOS, which has a tiny real-time kernel that is, indeed, much smaller than the Linux kernel. This is hardly the first time we've seen a design with a real-time kernel that hosts a Linux runtime on top. RTLinux/Wind River Linux have the same design.

Fixed-Point Numbers: An Introduction
A lot of comments I see are assuming that the worst, least trustworthy shippers are going to be using these irresponsibly. Presumably we won't just be handing out nuclear engines. There would have to be a pretty robust regulatory regime that manages the whole lifecycle, and whatever random ship is not going to qualify for a nuclear fit-up.

The required regulation may render the whole thing infeasible, I don't know, but any realistic solution will be heavily regulated making most concerns about misuse unrealistic.
The only use case I see is for someone who lives alone and doesn't have space for a home theater. Compared to the cost of a huge OLED TV and surround sound system, it's worth consideration.

Otherwise, what use case is worth 3.5k? It's not a work device, because the sidecar is limited to a single display. It's not compatible with OpenXR, so it's not a simulation device.
After a flood, I bought pine? colored Luxury Vinyl Plank at my wife's insistence. Previously we had dark engineered bamboo which looked good but it constantly scratched (chairs and dogs) which really bothered her and I was always worried about water getting on it. I was against the vinyl just because it was vinyl. I was wrong. This stuff is awesome. Looks great, close to water proof short of a flood and pretty much no scratches in a year plus of being down. It was not that much cheaper though vs engineered wood but a good deal less expensive than hardwood.

I landed two jobs in the 1990s on the strength of my DOS memory-optimsation skills.

I didn't use Memmaker, or Quarterdeck Optimise or anything. I did it by hand. I got as much free base memory, with shorter more readable config files, and they were more maintainable.
What I would rather like to see is the chassis itself act like a solar panel. Of course safety is a concern as it will add weight and possibility of being brittle but they did that with solar panels, I can’t see why it’s not possible with the cars. That wouldn’t require a fold out and the car will be constantly charging at an additional weight which is hopefully much less to the mileage.

I would urge you to calm down and stop thinking emotionally about this entire conflict and communicating about it in such a hostile way.

From reading your comments in this thread, you are clearly over-invested in this conflict and this doesn't do anything to help anyone, nor your own mental health.

HN is a place for curious discussion and insults like you have been throwing around don't contribute to that environment in any way.
One flaw glossed over in the article is that having a nuclear reactor means your ship will be unable to visit many ports such as those unequipped to deal with, say, a fire on a nuclear powered vessel. That's not even to mention general nuclear opposition such as New Zealand's outright ban on nuclear powered vessels.
I never understand (ok I understand but take issue with) these types of questions. Sure nice to read ideas people give on HN but really isn't this a classic case of RTFM. Where that means 'do some reading spend some time do some research and FIGURE IT OUT ON YOUR OWN'. What changed (old timer here btw) in culture where everyone wants the answer from someone else. There is a wealth of free information on the internet that can be had. Do some work yourself then come back with specific questions (on another forum probably) and tie up the loose ends.

Part of being an entrepreneur is figuring things out on your own with nominal help from others. In the old day btw when you 'started a business' (was not called a 'startup') you not only didn't have money to buy expensive help you were lucky to even get any help. You wore most if not all hats.
One way you might be able to determine this is by collecting a large enough sample and run it through Benford's Law to see if the number of leading ones and twos are much higher than other digits.

It's possible they could be inflating and adhering to Benford's explicitly, but if you find the values are nearly even across 1-9 for leading digits, then it's likely they're fake. This is only because the numbers may be varying number of digits and naturally occurring, so it's unlikely you'd get a false positive.

Not to mention drag and lift. This thing is very likely a net loss of efficiency while driving, even in full noon sun on a cold day, possibly a very large loss of efficiency.
Because 2.9% is just a cost of doing business. If it's that critical to your margins, raise your price to compensate for it. Adding friction by using crypto is likely to cost you far more than 2.9% by losing the contract altogether.

This take may be way off base but instead of trying to avoid 100% of nuclear incidents, shouldn't we be comparing the relative risk of nuclear environmental damage to the guaranteed and ongoing environmental and climate damage done by burning 200 million tonnes of heavy oil every year?

Maybe a few sunken nuclear reactors is already a better alternative? Again, I may be completely wrong, just seems like something that isn't being discussed.

The average burden of the 1040 C-EZ is 1 hour 40 minutes.

If we take the premise that 10 minutes to review your finances a month and then cancel unused subscriptions is not a burden(and good luck with canceling in 10 minutes) then doing basic taxes takes less time than a full yearly review.

There are a great many people here who argue that doing ones taxes are an impossible burden and the government should automate it away since they have the (most of) the data.

However here it should fall upon the individual to do all this labor in a case where the business has this information already compiled.

the funny thing is people (including on HN) have spent years arguing that the human body is a blast calorimeter and that everyone absorbs the same amount of energy from the same amount of food and therefore CICO is the only thing that matters or can help.

and oh look here's the protein which controls how much you absorb from it.

CICO is the only actionable advice for an individual (at least in the absence of such drugs) but there are still major questions about things like endocrine disruptors etc. The rise of obesity is far too broad-spectrum (even in feral cat colonies or lab rat populations that shouldn't be affected) to really be attributable to just "people have desk jobs". Lots of people have desk jobs all over the world and obesity is not evenly distributed, and the story has always been that "exercise doesn't matter, what you eat controls your weight" so things like biking vs driving should have a relatively small effect.

But people wanted to turn it into a moral hazard, and they did. Fat people have always been a socially-acceptable target to punch down on. "I'm actually helping them, you see".
