Why does an (ideal) LC circuit not consume any power? (2023)
From sibling comment:

> British household electrical systems are normally built as one large ring circuit, originally in order to save copper after WW2.

> This means you don't have breakers for each branch circuit (there are no branch circuits), just the single mains breaker for the house.
Good luck with the application process! I hear you about the "Notes" column -- I actually had the same thought when I was making this very first version. Don't worry, this will be added as a column shortly!
Artistic Teacher Captivates Students with His Sprawling Chalkboard Masterpieces
Just reminding everyone that it is now 2024, and it is still impossible to send a HDR still image to a group of people not all in the same ecosystem.

Apple for example “supports” the JPEG XL format, but decodes it to sRGB SDR irrespective of the source image gamut.

As of today, Adobe Lightroom running on an Apple iDevice can edit a RAW camera image in HDR, can export the result in three formats… none of which can be viewed as HDR on the same device.

Windows 11 with all the latest updates can basically open nothing and will show garbage half the time when it can open new formats.

Linux is still stuck in the teletype era and will catch up to $399 Aldi televisions from China any decade now.

I should create an “Are we HDR yet?” page and track this stuff.

These are trillion dollar companies acting like children fighting over a toy.

“No! Use my format! I don’t want to play with your format! It’s yucky!”
>This is starting to look very similar to "if you repeatedly add all the digits of an integer represented in base 10 representation until you have a single digit, and the result is 3, 6 or 9, then it is divisible by 3". I forgot the exact explanation for that one, but IIRC has to do with the implicit calculation that is embedded in base 10 positional notation

Yes. The number "xyz" is 100x + 10y + z. Each power of 10 can be split into 1 plus a multiple of 9, ie (x + y + z) + (99x + 9y). The second group where all the components are a multiple of 9 is of course divisible by 9 and by 3. The first group is the sum of the digits. So if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3, then the original number was divisible by 3. If the sum of the digits is also divisible by 9, then the original number was also divisible by 9. If the sum of the digits is not divisible by 3, the original number was not divisible by 3 either.

This generalizes to any number of digits, and to any base N for testing divisibility by N-1 or factors of N-1.

I don’t feel like he’s engaging in a novel way on the topic but it’s a good summary of classical libertarian talking points.

The difficulty here is that no market is free from distortion and while I see a lot of misguided attempts to correct markets, I see plenty of examples of the abuse of market power as well.

I don’t know if Argentina will be able to stabilise anytime soon but I agree it’s worth trying his approach there as the many decades of failure for alternatives speaks for itself.

I feel like perpetuating arguments that go back a century may be less effective than re-framing the problem space to better reflect what we’ve learned in the interim.

I don’t see the value in continuing to fight the old war on such dated terms.

He reminds me of a religionist preaching to the converted.

Everyone repeats that as mantra but I think that should be challenged.

I find it doubtful that inflation is needed to encourage spending or investment. Currency inflates naturally (that is, loses value) because it is not inherently useful, and things you can exchange for it are more useful today than they are tomorrow.

You won't skip buying a burger today to buy two burgers next year if you're going to starve. And even for luxuries, they are worth more today than next year, because lifespans are limited.

US street and highway signage went from all caps to mixed case in the past 30 years. I believe the US Department of Transportation did studies and found mixed case was easier to read. Although they use a non-standard font.
I'm sure most of you don't want to hear it, but the dairy industry is brutal for cows, in many ways far worse than the meat industry. Cows are forceably impregnated repeatedly to keep milk flowing, and their calves are taken from them and slaughtered for veal. Some breeds are so large they can barely move, often being milked in their last moments while laying prone. Then they are slaughtered like meat cows in the end.
There's a Get Smart joke in here somewhere.
Names are awful identifiers, considering how they are misshapen by stylistic rules (case folding, reordering, abbreviation, transliteration, etc.) and how many collisions there are. I really hope some generalised system (ORCID?) finds as wide of adoption as DOI did.

> healthcare being tied to employment

He said America, not United States of America. America refers to the combined area of North, South, and Central America. Of which Canada is a part, and, as it happens, Canada is where this took place. Healthcare is not tied to employment in Canada.

> We're "incredibly servile" because of the lack of social safety net programs

All employees in Ontario are covered under a collective agreement that asserts employers will not terminate employment for reasons related to health. Employees who stayed in their cars had no reason to fear for their job. However, they probably did have good reason to fear the mob of people who had nowhere warm to go.

Remember, this warehouse is in the middle of a farmer's field. The nearest settlement is several kilometres away, and the nearest settlement with any reasonable public place to shelter in is tens of kilometres away. There would be no other practical place to go to stay warm other than a car, but not everyone would have a car available to go to. There are other ways to get to work that don't leave you with a personal space heater at your beck and call.
i would also like to say that latin capital letters are for the most part a set of totally different, but related, shapes. so our alphabet is really more like 52 letters. and for what?

Yes, but they don't interpret it.

They aren't using AI or the cloud component to do what they can already do.

The whole promise that all these companies are pitching is to aggregate patient data over time, tie it to clinically measurable metrics so they can detect, prevent or treat things better. In your example the idea would be the model in the cloud is aggregating all the patient health record data, tying that to the xrays of those same patients, so that in the future the model can see things in x-rays that indicate disease or are predacessors to disease before we humans can even spot them.

All that takes money.

Once you have your ultra pure water, and are willing to commit to maintaining the apparatus that keeps it that way. There is a second problem, extremely pure water is surprisingly corrosive, A laymans explanation is that it would be happier with a few ions, and will gleefuly strip them off any exposed metal.

Which is a shame. It would be nice if water could be used directly in an immersion environment. Much better thermal properties than anything else, and no mess,
this is because we recognize most words by shape. capital case is all single-height while lowercase is mixed height (it has letters that ascend and descend). for situations like road signs, being able to scan and see the “shape” of a word quickly is very helpful.

so that is an argument in favor of using lowercase.

That’s not really a surprise considering how they started? To some extend I think it’s unavoidable if you use colocation.
Honestly haven’t had too bad of an experience with Capital One’s hopper portal.
Normally I don’t care for these aggregators, but 9/10 times the price difference is negligible, I don’t have to create a new account, and their customer service has actually been decent ( booked a flight with ryan air that showed incorrectly free check in on the portal, and they reimbursed me for the baggage ).
Also it usually ends up forwarding me the direct flight details anyway, so I can always modify the booking on the main airline’s page.
A bit of a dick move to remove the root password on an IOT device of a flat you only rent.
Oh, I totally agree. That wasn't intended as a slight toward the company; rather, the solution to the problem was (if I remember correctly) only a few lines of code, but I think the test was tailored to more junior candidates, who might have needed to talk through it more (and as a result, have provided more insight into their thought process).

At the time, I didn't realize _that_ was likely what they were evaluating, but in my experience interviewing engineers since then helped me realize what I'd overlooked.

I mentioned they passed on me mostly for transparency given the rest of my comment, but I can understand how it might have sounded otherwise. I liked their concept and stayed connected for a while after, not something I normally tend to do if there's bad blood.
> Yes but they greatly enhance readability

No they don't. It is true that modern readers read lowercase text more quickly than they read capitalized text.

And it's also true that, after a small amount of practice reading capitalized text, the difference in reading speed becomes zero. There is no benefit of any kind to the lowercase letters.
Moore's law has been dead for a while now and nobody really knows how much more we can get in terms of performance per watt. But even if it continues to improve, you're implying that what they've got right now is this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compaq_Portable

Or maybe worse than that, because the trade off never really goes away. Desktops and servers are still faster than laptops, but portability is a huge advantage, so sacrificing some performance is worth it to have something with you everywhere you go. But how much performance is it worth sacrificing to avoid having a phone in your pocket? Nowhere near as much as it is to avoid lugging a desktop computer around with you.

Or to measure it from the other side, lots of people still have a Macbook even though they also have an iPhone.
This is just a myth.
I don't understand why they never fixed the incentives.
I agree, but it has me wondering about a semantic-based compression approach. If we know a period is often followed by a space and a capital, can we compressed based on “which periods to reapply this rule to”?
I recant the sharp mind question. You are clearly struggling.
Routers are unreasonable priced. There are routers that cost >200$, because they have a "gaming" in the name and routers that are < 100$ from a cheap chinese brand, that are basically the same hardware.

The wifi chipset, CPU and Memory are the parts that count, maybe also the ethernet ports and usb. So if you wanna buy a good but cheap router, I would buy a used one that has reasonable price and good specs.

I'd also prefer support for Wifi 6(e), but if you are on a budget, old standards high end hardware is really cheap on the used marked.

So here is what I recommend: Look at the OpenWRT list of hardware filtered by ax[1], sort by CPU MHz and look through the table for a good Mediatek / MT chipset in the column WLAN Hardware (the CPU sorting is "alphabetical", not natural, so it might be that the most powerful ones are in the middle of the table).

I recommend:

- Ubiquity Unify (AP - if you need a router, don't buy)
- AVM Fritz!Box 7520 / 7530 (not in the list, but a german bargain)
- Linksys E8450 (aka. Belkin RT3200)
- GL.iNet GL-MT6000
- Asus TUF-AX4200 / TUF-AX6000
- BananaPi BPi R3
- Xiaomi AX6000 / AX9000
- Netgear WAX220 (AP)
I wasn't looking to promote cheese alternatives, but rather point out the cruelty of the industry.

In any case, cheese is difficult to replicate due to the nature of the proteins in milk. There are companies that have made casein in bioreactors that will hopefully soon put products on the market.

Until then, there are other alternatives, but don't expect them to have the same flavor and texture. Some of the best ones are not trying to be a facsimile. There's the Vegan Cheese Co that maintains a worldwide database of vegan cheeses, and here's the list from their yearly awards:

Ask HN: GPT-Vision or Llava for Videos
I'm interested in a model that can take as input a video and output a caption to describe what is happening in the video. I've looked on huggingface etc. and can only find XCLIP from Microsoft, but that only does video classification. It doesn't write its own caption.
Same! This is my favourite of all recent HN posts.
That is gorgeous click bait! Love it. Using a somewhat surprising effect of compression to explain it is brilliant.

Obviously, no one should consider a couple bytes of compression when actually writing text, and I know the article doesn't advocate for that.

For readability. Compare to Cyrillic, where lowercase letters are basically half-height uppercase letters, so everything looks like it's rendered in small caps (this is more true for handprinted lettering, but mostly true for typeset stuff too).

The idea that the letter choice shouldn't matter fully makes sense to me. And in general, point free notation can be nice (point free meaning operating on the function rather than introducing an arbitrary point and operating on the function evaluated at the arbitrary point.

Despite this, I still believe Leibniz notation is superior for multi-argument functions. For multi argument functions, named arguments are much clearer than just depending on the order of arguments.
Essentially I advocate for dropping point-freeness for clarity on the difference between function arguments.

Besides that, by expression equivalence it is clearly the case that the only correct interpretation of the derivative is the 'composition' where the change in t also counts for the change in x.
Because replacing the f(x(t), t) with g(x) (where g is the composition, should not change the outcome of the derivative.

I mentioned this in another comment, but yeah, I bombed the interview precisely because I understood the problem and its domain but failed to walk through my initial thinking process with the interviewer who was pairing with me. I was approaching it as a technical problem, not an evaluation of my ability to pair with peers - which was why I was underwhelmed.

Having said that - over the years, I now much prefer conducting interviews where interviewer and candidate walk through a problem, figuring out a solution together; they provide much more insight into a candidate compared to rote memorization/whiteboard tasks like "Implement a linked list". So, in the end, I've learned to appreciate their approach.

Not quite the example I was explaining. In my example the validated/FDA-approved model runs on local hardware, at the physician's energy bill. Need an A6000 GPU? Fine, I'll buy it.

If the vendor wants to improve the model, they can ask for anonymized data from physicians, if they're willing to provide it. That's their cost of developing a better product, just like anyone in any industry pays a price in some way to improve their product.
