And I have noticed that when the chargers are broken in this manner, Tesla vehicles are still able to charge due to the J1772 adapter being able to sidestep the issue. It's mainly because for Tesla connectors, the latch is on the car's side, so a cheap adapter simulates the latch on the J1772 side.
I don't remember if it was Poplar Forest or Monticello, but I vaguely remember something about Jefferson using convection to draw cool air through tunnels to help cool the structure(s).

Not related to ventilation, but I found the Trompe compressor to be an interesting example of forgotten technology
It's myopic / counter intuitive;

An example near me is a Live/Work/Play development that put chargers congregated together in an open area away from businesses. Another example is an old mall, that has a struggling food court, with chargers the longest walk away.

What's weird is that chargers started with the Nissan Bolt/Leaf with a concept of businesses/malls will put chargers up to encourage visitors to shop - or of cracker barrel (https://investor.crackerbarrel.com/news-releases/news-releas...) locations.
But it seems charger networks have ignored that gas stations don't make money on gas, but make money on convenience stores and have gone unmanned, even as significant numbers of new vehicles are sold.
Ask HN: Will there be more layoffs in 2024?
Our company site has a very strict anti-scraping Cloudflare mechanism. Will your crawler be able to work around it?
The issue I see these days is that every industry is getting more and more competitive, and leaves less and less time to think more broadly or creatively. Can't go off reading about differential geometry when you need a guaranteed perfect SAT, a great entrance essay (i.e. a strong personal story), and easy-to-gauge extracurriculars ("placed X in Y", not "read some smart books and had some interesting thoughts that don't impress the admissions officer"). Same goes for the industry and academia as well.
I did the same. I had some weird path issues with Duplicity.

One of the comments says:

If you're going to reach into the guts of another process and start flipping bits, it's only Correct to take responsibility for doing so carefully enough you don't blow the entire thing up.

(I have written code that replaced/wrapped other people's function pointers for various reasons (occasionally even -good- ones) and considered any problem caused by an upgrade of the code hosting my cuckoo chick to be my bug - and while it was occasionally bloody annoying, I did this to myself ;)
Ask HN: Transitioning from Sales Engineering into Product Management
Context: I'm at a crossroads in my career and looking for other perspectives.

I know this is highly personal and context dependent, but looking for general thoughts or experience.

So, I'm thinking about transitioning into PM at the same org.

While I enjoy the day-to-day of an SE, my biggest gripe is that most of the work is fleeting. Sales cycles come and go. A consequence of this is that there's little leverage of building/owning something over time.

Things I like about SE:

- Decent performance-based comp

- Variety in prospects/ building solutions

- Lot of autonomy, most of the time

- Good WLB relative to comp potential (can have big spikes at times)

These are all true, in my experience.

But even with all of that, I'm left searching for more.

I've heard SE described as the 'best dead-end job ever', and I'd tend to agree.

So, HN - any thoughts on transitioning from SE to PM?

Asking people whether the developer experience is good or bad is not going to be the most efficient of approaches: It's ultimately asking for a mood. When teams are asked what they are spending a lot of time on than they wish they shouldn't, you can at least see what are the heavier pain points. It doesn't help if your developer experience budget is zero, but it can at least organize the useful alternatives.

In most places I've worked at, the a survey asking for specific pain points gets great results, because the worst time sinks stick out like a sore thumb, especially if you have workers that have worked in high quality organizations.
Good point, there are some stations that support magic dock now. There are even a couple of those in California.

> The default view of government by businesses and people should be as an adversary

This is never ever going to be the default unless it is legislated. A business has much more to gain by aligning itself with the government than with the general population.
I can't say what the intention was. It certainly seems odd to attempt to play up the disadvantage when it seems clear it's basically inconsequential. It kind of reads like he's against it for seemingly irrational reasons.
Fast charging is usually so fast that you can barely do anything else before the car is full and you need to move it. If you go for lunch for example usually you need to hurry not to pay overtime fees.

AC charging is another thing, this can take 5-10 hours, that's perfect for a movie theatre or a shopping center. And they are rather cheap to build. Just a small box to plug in a charging cable. And personally I often plug in with 60% SoC or more, so I don't need a full charge.
They claim to preserve color detail that was lost due to compression of the dynamic range. What's wrong with that?

Short answer is no. It's been a while since I last looked at it but the long answer is "kinda in a hacky way, with a lot of work, and Ring is gonna fight you the whole way because they want you to pay."

I like the fact that the capital costs of a Supercharger are low enough that they go into a variety of places. Yes, I love the Superchargers at Sheetz because I can grab a coffee or a bite to eat while I charge, but I vastly prefer a charger with no amenities to no charger at all.
But if Apple makes a car, is it more in the premium or in the luxury market?

It seems to me that most of the bestselling Apple products are more premium than luxury, why would it be different with cars? And if not, why would they profit from margins that are usually associated with luxury cars?
While I can understand the annoyance at the change, if your perspective is that GitHub is just a server for a .git directory then why even bother with accessing it via a web browser in the first place. The git cli seems like it should be both more than sufficient in that case and preferable since it’s much less resource intensive and designed for the purpose.

For sure there is a discussion to be had about whether the addons that GitHub provides over and above being a server for a .git directory need JavaScript, but that feels like a different discussion than “it’s just a server for .git directories”

> adjusted gross income (AGI) of $79,000

everything about the IRS is a hint saying learn how to read our regulations to take more deductions

AGI is income after most deductions

I’ve had 7 figures of revenue before and would still be able to use this during that year

The President even sent me those one-off stimmies because my AGI was under the threshold

If you just have W2 income, there's no reason you can't fill out the regular 1040 form yourself. Sure might take you an hour or so, but no software to purchase. Just costs a stamp to mail it in!
Alright, I'm willing to consider that their claims are not merely unsupported but impossible to support, but that's not a better look exactly.
I would probably say the same if I had bet on the wrong horse

> Toyota has generally lagged its competitors in aggressively pushing electric vehicles. The Japanese company has previously pledged to offer a line-up of 30 battery-powered EVs by 2030; by comparison, Volkswagen plans to offer 70 all-electric models by 2030, and BMW wants to increase its delivery share of all-electric vehicles to 50% over the same period. Bloomberg estimates that 44% of passenger cars on the road will be EVs by 2040.
I'm not sure what your point is, but I think it's "I don't like Real Science, because it doesn't immediately lead to the outcomes I like."

As for "additional support from the community" that's not the solution -- it's the problem. Almost by definition, "the community" isn't qualified to support the paper; only to advocate for their preferred actions.
Sometimes the manager knows it, but the manager have managers who need to have some external justification to cover their assess. It is basically the same principle that drives hiring consultants to say exactly the same thing the team have been saying for years.

> Hundreds of kilobytes is not a lot of information.

Humans are very, very predictable. It's not clear that the deviation of one human from the mean has a lot of information. It's not clear that it /doesn't/, either -- but I'd sure as heck take the under on gigabytes for novelty of text output. Keep in mind that we're not trying to model the internal state of a human machine; instead, we're discussing how much additional information is needed to align the output of a generic human text generator with the output of a specific individual. A lifetime is about two billion seconds -- so a gigabyte is four bits of data /per second/, or maybe two bits of data /per word/ for someone who continuously speaks for 70 years. Derate to a reasonable percentage of a lifetime spent generating output (10%? 1%?) and you're talking many, many bits per word. That's enough to Huffman compress their entire lifetime output with the "base model" entirely a dictionary, no need to even have a generative model!
To some extent, we've developed a system that rewards people for being able to pump the stock. It isn't always a bad thing, but it seems to be going pretty badly for most SPACs.
Exactly... poorly structured economics. Nothing more, nothing less.
That was definitely the thinking behind the Buc-ee's/Tesla partnership; Buc-ee's makes a huge amount of backcourt revenue including QSR sales, so it's a very natural extension for them. I posited to our retail fuels clients several years ago that if they didn't develop a long-term EV strategy around backcourt partnership and sales they risked losing to a Tesla retail strategy, so I'm surprised that Tesla never split off a separate BU to directly attack that space.
To your point, the market for vector db solutions feels very undifferentiated. I am genuinely curious -- what are the types of ANN use-cases that truly require XXms lookup latency, XXX QPS, and capacity for billions of documents?
My impression was the the Spirit mentioned in the comment was Spirit AeroSystems, not Spirit Airlines, so the relationship between the two companies is the other way around; Boeing is the customer.
So these patchers are monkey patching a system executable needed to have a bootable/usable system?

Why is this allowed? This sounds like a small hell.

I left Windows the moment we shifted from "developers, developers, developers, developers" to "advertisers, advertisers, advertisers, advertisers" and never looked back.

Ubuntu is very pleasant to work with, nowadays.
I assume any small companies that were on the fence will no start doing more as it's easier to pull off in an environment where other companies are doing layoffs. Also a lot of smaller company outlooks are trending downward which until they hit bottom will likely involve more layoffs.
No joke, a lot of people love that smell.
Because the tax preparation services lobbied the federal government to make it illegal for the US government to offer its own filing service.

I like 1040now.net. The UI is atrocious but it basically just offers an HTML version of the actual IRS forms. If all you need is a 1040 and a W2, then you just fill those out and skip the rest of the forms. I've been using it for several years. It costs $20 to file your federal returns if you make more than a certain amount, and it also offers State tax filing as well
> You've spent longer talking about not deploying v6 than you would have done deploying it.

I guarantee that I haven't.

> I suggest you sit down and turn v6 on for your network

I did this a long while ago. I apologize for giving the impression that I haven't. But actually using IPv6 in any serious way takes more than just turning it on. It requires reconfiguring a nontrivial number of machines/devices, figuring out how to accommodate the many machines/devices that aren't able to use IPv6, and so forth.

Now, I will admit that I'm still learning IPv6 stuff and as a result there are likely things that I'm overthinking. But responses like yours don't move that ball forward any. You're just scolding people for not being experts.
However if they something about the science they specialise in they are much more likely to know more that you, scientists not in their field let alone the general public.

yes they will lie as much as anyone else but when they do not if you take the expected value of what a scientist says in their speciality it is much more likely to be correct.

Apache Wave (née Google Wave) is a thing.
An HN search of ''Deep Space Nine'' and ''Topaz'' will show some great discussions here covering the dearth of such upscaling solutions, as well as some huge efforts before commonplace AI.
Amazing stuff, love coming back to speccy code.
Yes, this sounds accurate to me, because it follows the general pattern that "enforcement by reputation doesn't scale". It works in small groups, because the feedback loop is relatively quick and relatively difficult to evade. The larger the group, the slower the consequences and the easier it is to find people in the group who don't know your reputation yet.

The "solution" which occurs almost immediately to any developer is to automate the reputation, but I think we've seen enough SEO and similar algorithm-hacking to understand how that fails. In fact, "rack up a lot of publications" is itself a method of hacking an attempt at automating reputation.
>If what that commenter says is true, the whole company ought to be shut down.

No it won't. Boeing has reached too big to fail status.

They employ many millions of people directly and indirectly between commercial and military aerospace.

Boeing has reached PEAK too big to fail recently too when they announced that due to their too big to fail status, they are unable to estimate or control costs anymore and will no longer bid for any US military contracts that are fixed-price.

What you will see is billions in bailout funds given to Boeing shareholders.
Not the OP, but you have to understand that 'compression of the dynamic range' is an artistic tool. Literally choosing the lighting ratio of an image is how you build out lighting for a scene. With AI overwriting these choices, you're looking at something more akin to colorization than upscaling.
The apps not working either. I guess it’s just down.
I'm confused. If you are being falsely accused, wouldn't you want video evidence? Otherwise it becomes one person's word vs another, which often comes with its own biases (first to call the police wins, better lawyer wins, etc).
True, but I think that moment was 20 years ago. Level 3 charging makes most plug-in hybrids obsolete.

It's a mistake to trust a cloud service with your data and expect no one to take advantage of the fact that they are the ones holding it.
I agree, but many developers are promised to not have to deal with customers.

Then again, I lean towards the idea that separating product management and product ownership results in a disconnected product from users.

Sorry, but what does this have to do with the topic? A manipulative ex manipulated police... is not new nor does it have anything to do with the question of voluntarily handing video evidence to police.

If we were to structure our lives around things that evil people misused good-intentioned processes for, then we would be continually paranoid and society would grind to a halt.

I am certainly in favor of limited police powers, but the conversation you are having is a different one from that.
I agree. I think this is just one of those things that we know is true but can't easily be proven via the scientific method.

I expect some HN readers will balk at the idea that we can know things but can't prove them scientifically but only because they haven't really thought about it. E.g. does giving variables sensible names reduce bug counts? Obviously. But it's very difficult to prove even something as obvious as that.

Einstein is way more well known than Euler, I'd guess.

The only thing keeping me from using FreeTaxUSA is its inability to import brokerage transactions/1099-Bs. As far as I'm aware, if you input 1099-B summaries (as opposed to individual transactions), you have to mail physical copies of all 1099s to the IRS.

I don't see how that's in contradiction with what I'm saying. Expressing a change in a percentage in a while new unit or terminology seems ideal, because someone who's never seen it before will not mistake it for some other thing they already know. It doesn't lend itself to confusion at all, unlike expressing the change also in percentage.
For this sort of thing, I would rather use a .gov website than a .com.
Fly on a 737 MAX? No thank you. Up til recently US domestic aviation has been incredibly safe. But by all accounts Boeing systematically disassembled it's engineering safety culture and replaced it with a make money fast culture. It took 20 years for things to start falling apart, but we're at the beginning of the "unsafe period."

Finding an Airbus in the states is not easy, though. I'd fly American, but their customer service is crap and they started flying their planes to third-world countries for maintenance, so I can't expect them to be that much better.
Very nice!

This was almost my first computer (almost because it was actually a TK-90) so it's nice to see it here, I guess it was a common starting point if you were in a family with a computer in the 80s in UY :)

While I know it's not the same (plus I'm a backend guy so I know nothing about graphics, a fact that may change in the near future as my daughter is set to study animation & videogames after she's done with high school next year) but your last version made me think of Batman for the Spectrum. I remember thinking that game's graphics were magical compared with most of the other games for that computer at the time.
I've greatly enjoyed pair (and trio) programming with friends using it (vscode's version of this) on side projects. For the most part I'm not sold that pair programming is an efficient way to program, but it's a nice social way to program.
