I would hope that too. I imagine that as long as the pack still works, most cars will be sold forward on the used market. If the pack fails (either due to cell death or a crash or whatever), I bet many of them will not be properly recycled, especially from the early days. Once most cars are EVs, recycling will probably get better.

Either way, it seems pretty unfair to assume that EV packs will be 100% recycled, while vape packs will be 0% recycled. One could imagine a sort of "core charge" for disposable vapes. Bring the vape back for recycling when you get a new one and get $2 off. This could even be done by law like California CRV for cans and bottles.

The fact that this is not debuggable itself is part of the problem.
Yeah, I definitely think it's worth pushing the boundaries at the far end, but the middle end it would be so cool to see dramatic evolution/price reductions there such that anybody could get an asic made (in a very large stamped node) a la PCBWay/Oshpark services almost.

Also keen to see us build silicon up into the 3rd dimension as far as we can, not stacking chips but just continuing to add more and more layers until z = x = y, similar to 3d printing I suppose, leading edge nodes don't really have the wiggle room for that sort of experimentation.

But a 20mm^2 multi-layer but "flat/traditional" 3nm chip vs a 20mm^3 50nm chunk of silicon layers would be super cool to play with!

I think this site just has a seriously warped view of what "elite" means. To everyone it seems to mean something like "people with 2x your wealth or more". Great, but a more reasonable definition of elite would be akin to, "top 10%":

1) any higher degree => elite

2) $150k or more family income => elite (and this is only counting people being paid a monthly wage for at least, I believe, 4 months of the year, otherwise it's $89k to get you into the top 10%, this is definitely not all Americans)

And if you count worldwide ... let's just not go there. Take off multiple zeroes.

So it is not about manager vs non-manager. I think you'll find managers don't have much decision making power anyway. It is not about directors or CEOs or people who own companies. Elite is nearly everyone that reads this site.
For the US:

Moderate: between Republican and Democrat.

Progressive: left of Democrat
> Sports cars are notorious money sinks.

To be fair, a Ferrari will normally retain its value, assuming you don't damage it. A degree on the other hand, even with the utmost extreme care, becomes worthless the day you drive it off the lot. Guaranteed. In fact, it is likely less than worthless as you will no doubt have to pay someone to dispose of the piece of paper for you.

So, yes, you make a good point. The employer is, all else equal, most definitely not selecting the degree holder if hiring is done based on financial resolve. Imagine dumping all those resources into a degree that has no resale value – literally worthless – only to apply to a job that identical people without degrees are also applying to. Not a display of financial literacy, that is for sure.
The checkbox for having iPad apps to work on the Vision Pro is really just a courtesy.
Apple could just as well decide that all iPad apps are available on the Vision Pro.

You could even imagine that Apple start requiring iOS app developers with more than X million users to also provide a Vision Pro optimized version of the app.
To provide a better user experience, of course.

Apple does not lack imagination on ways to leverage their ecosystem, I'm not worried about them one bit.
The problem is that this argument is a logical fallacy. Threats to civic leaders are wrong. Whether or not they are good leaders does not change the wrongness of the threats.

> That doesn't mean that nobody would support the Jones Act, or protectionism in general, but those people are likely to be the benefactors and discount the negative consequences for society at large.

For the record, I support the Jones Act, and I'm just part of "society at large" and have nothing to do with shipping or logistics. Personally, I think it should be strengthened and made more strict to block some of the workarounds this article cites as reasons for its repeal.

I think that idea that the only people who support protectionism are those who personally gain from it is lazy and stupid. I'm really tired of that sort of thing in support of libertarianism.

> In general, protectionism is like taking $100 from each of us, burning 99% of it, and giving the remainder to one lucky winner.

Lets end protectionism, stop burning that $99, and outsource all military production to China and Russia. What could go wrong? /s

The only way libertarians can go on and on about many of these "inefficiencies" is because they're willfully blind to a lot of significant considerations, which they utterly ignore in their propaganda.

Show HN: Rebels in the sky – a terminal game about anarchist space pirates
Rebels in the sky is a multiplayer game about crews of space pirates roaming the galaxy to play basketball against each other. It's basically a basketball managerial game with some pirate-y stuff.

The game runs as a terminal application, meaning that you just need to run the executable from your terminal. Key bindings are indicated in game, mouse is supported.

It's a P2P game with no central server, built on top of libp2p. This should guarantee good scalability, the current record for concurrent players is 4 but I hope we can do better than that :)

It's about time Y Combinator has executives who aren't so busy with politics. It gives the whole incubator, startup scene, etc, a bad name.

I'm guessing YC nowadays is not that different from private equity/VCs like A16z, which enjoy having their fingers on everything. Typically, it is stuff they don't know much about and look plain stupid.

I hope PG can bring the good ol' days back someday, when it was about entrepreneurship, having people laser-focused on building disruptive companies.

It might be an overstatement to say that science says the universe definitely has a beginning. We can talk about an early hot, dense state, and subsequent expansion, but there is no direct evidence of exactly what the initial state was. It’s probably beyond the reach of scientific enquiry.
Show HN: Build tiny AI apps by chaining prompts together
Hi HN,

I'm a solo bootstrapped founder from England who has been launching tiny projects on the internet for the past few years. I've written about my projects here: https://tinyprojects.dev

PromptBase it the 8th project I've built - I launched it a year ago as a platform for creators to sell their prompts.

Today I released a no-code editor that lets people build tiny AI apps by chaining together prompts - it's a bit like Zapier but for prompts.

You can use it to create AI automations without having to mess around with connecting up APIs. Some use cases are building apps to easily generate designs / prints to sell elsewhere.

It supports numerous models and AI tools (e.g. background removers, image upscalers) that you can chain together.

It's free to try - I would love some feedback if you get a chance to give it a go!
Obviously the problem is the technology that makes it too easy for a drunk person to be publicly intoxicated and causing trouble.

But ignore the fact that most people on this board work for companies that build this technology.

You can’t imagine the advantage to having your base read Local Shady Billionaire Cabal Wants To Kill Your Favorite Politicians headlines a month before an important election that will set Democratic Party endorsements for the next few cycles?

The tweet is not particularly damning. San Francisco politics is characterized as a knife fight in a phone booth. Much worse things are said all the time without an immediate retraction and apology. This one gets news coverage because certain parties have stooges like Joe at Mission Local (Peskin mouthpiece) and Aldo at S.F. Chronicle (Preston mouthpiece) gassing up non-stories into media events.

For example, it was well known that former school board commissioner Allison Collins was a huge bully. Eventually, the Chron placed a piece profiling a former SFUSD employee who literally moved to Mexico to escape the personal targeting she did. And yet this behavior was barely covered and progs got in line to endorse her in the recall campaign. Similarly, Supervisor Walton threatened a black security guard at city hall without everyone clutching pearls about it (he doubled down when probed).
The new part of this article is the physical letters that were sent to some of the people mentioned in the tweet. That hadn't happened when the previously-discussed article was written.

(Edited to add: However, an article discussed yesterday in a now-flagged discussion did have the letters: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39199703 )
Because if you write something that gives nazis glee and they weaponize it against their Jewish opponents, it should give you pause.

> “This is not a joke,” he posted. “This guy wants to guillotine people.”

> “This kind of stuff should have zero place in San Francisco politics,” he later said.

Non wealthy people are largely not willing to pay for books, movies, videogames (I will admit to not knowing about music) what it actually costs to make them. The industries are able to sidestep this by underpaying (all but the highest profile) artists and massively scaling up marketing budgets, but people routinely underestimate the time and effort involved in producing art, even the "infinite copies" version.

I did not stop reading. The antisemetic postcards from October are different than the ones the supervisors received with Garry's face and the "this is not a threat" line.

Its not clear to me that the ones with Garry's face are anti-semetic; unless they are, due to the nature of his extreme concern with the supervisory board, and that's what I'm trying to zero-in on. Its also naturally possible that the motivations of Garry and the person who sent the postcard are different, but again: I think its scummy to then prescribe antisemetic intent to Garry by connecting the two without elaborating within-the-article on why Garry is so drunkenly distraught.

I am not justifying or trivializing how Garry behaved. Its not ok to say what he said. But, its possible for both sides of this to be scummy and horrible; and that possibility is what I want to understand better.
Two interesting and unrelated facts:

A screenshot would be blurry because of the foveated rendering

The Bulldozer design had a few main issues.

1.Bulldozer had a very long pipeline akin to a Pentium 4. This allows for highclocks but comparatively little work being done per cycle vs their competition. Since clocks have a ceiling around 5GHz they could never push the clocks high enough to compete with intel.
2.They used a odd core design with 1 FPU for every 2 integer unit instead of the normal 1:1 that we have seen on every x86 since the i486. This leads to very weak FPU performance needed for many professional applications. Conversely it allowed for very competitive performance on highly threaded integer applications like rendering. This decision was probably under the assumption APUs would integrate their GPUs better and software would be written with it in mind since a GPU easily out does a CPUs FPU but it requires more programming. This didn't come to be.
3. They were stuck using Global Foundries due to previous contracts when they spun it off requiring AMD use GloFlo. This became a anchor as Gloflo fell behind market competitors like TSMC. Leaving AMD stuck on 32nm for a long while, until gloflo got 14nm and eventually AMD got out of the contract between zen 1-2.

bonus: Many IC designers have bemoaned how much of bulldozers design was automated with little hand modifications which tends to lead to a less optimized design.

That contradicts official statistics from Russia itself though. They claim 1.42 for 2022, not 1.82.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_federal_subjects_of_Ru... (the data is copied from https://fedstat.ru/indicator/31517# - Federal Statistics service of Russia - but it's closed for access from outside).

1.42 is worse than in 20 out of 27 EU countries and worse than in EU overall (1.53). With much lower readings in Russian-populated regions, i.e. it hangs on Muslims. Of which Russia has more and they grow faster than in any EU country. Some almost purely Russian-population regions rival South Korea in low fertility with <1.0 readings. Probably fertility of Russians themselves is under 1.0 in all regions except Moscow.

Not sure why you are trying to find something good where it simply isn't.

It's mentioned in the article that several lawyers were contacted and they all agreed it plainly did not constitute a threat.

> But tying this potential legislation to the message Tan communicated to his 408,000 Twitter followers would appear to be a serious legal challenge: Half a dozen lawyers and judges told Mission Local that, however ill-advised, Tan’s comments do not rise to the legal definition of a death threat.

Which makes sense. Wishing someone a slow death is akin to saying "go to hell." It is a terrible thing to say and can be said with hate and malice and make you feel very worried but it is not the same thing as "I'm going to kill you."

This comment is everything wrong with media literacy. It's absolutely worthwhile to cover highly public calls to violence of government officials by respected individuals with lots of power and the article makes it clear he personally did not send the letters.

Well that's their business plan isn't it?

Apple makes a device and sells that.

AND having more consumers means more available people for the developers to sell their product to.

Can't all be like Balmer "DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS" for Microsoft, which traditionally isn't trying to sell hardware but just software for people to run on their hardware.

So having more software on their platform is necessary to sell more of their product (for Microsoft/Windows).

> Doesn't 23andme run basically the cheapest test they can get away with?

No. That's part of why they're test is so expensive and their financials are so lackluster. They are apparently using a customized version of the lllumina's Global Screening Array according to their website and several other sources that show up in search results. That's a legit research quality genotyping platform from a world leading laboratory in the genetics space. This post from 2020 has a decent high level overview about it in the context of 23&me [0] though it might be slightly outdated by now and I've never heard of the company (xcode?) that wrote it (nor did I bother to look at what their product is.)

> If I was trying to launch a consumer DNA geneology service, I'd want to get network effects, so I'd want a test that was very easily affordable.

That's a pretty neive perspective. It ignores the value propositions of 23&me's product, economies of scale in the direct to consumer genetic testing space which were in large part enabled by 23&me's success, and all of the thorny bits related to questions about accuracy when presenting results. Not to mention that 23&me certainly capitalized on the network effect (which is being criticized a fair amount in this thread.)

This assumes a single linear timestream.

If you're the "being", and you're running a simulation of some system, you can absolutely create many parallel timestreams with different initial conditions. You can even return to some point in the simulation and try several intermediate conditions, resulting in different causal outcomes.

The many worlds interpretation would absolutely allow agency on the part of such a "being".
