This reminds of Asimov's awful "The Feeling of Power" where in the future mankind has forgotten how to do basic math and someone has rediscovered it to the astonishment of the people in power who now intend to use it to their advantage in war.

I hate that short story because of how silly it is. I get the point that it's trying to make, but it's packaged in such an absurdly unrealistic way that it loses all impact.

Yeah, I had a similar issue, and had to solve it by purchasing a portable AC to supplement the main HVAC.

> sales of current gen EVs seem to have stalled.

Have they? I've seen this repeated a few times but all the various articles[1][2] I can find that say anything about this are saying that the growth rate slowed slightly, probably due to interest rate rises, but not that sales have dipped or even plateaued overall.

The main decreases seem to be driven by specific models declining[3] but otherwise the industry is healthy.

> The ones who got it wrong are irrelevant, because correct solutions clearly exist for all the potential problems.

This is a pretty weak argument. Correct solutions exist for doing extremely unsafe things, but that doesn't mean using safer approaches is bad. If a bunch of different projects get something wrong, yes that _is_ a signal that you should think twice before using it yourself.
Thanks for sharing this here. A lot of beginners Like me are smashed out there every day. It's a good thing we have nice people here who want others to become successful as they are.

Trust me, there's nothing you "can't stop" a minor under your tutelage from doing - if you're motivated to.

If I did what I described, my parents would have simply picked me up, carried me into the house, and into my room (until I was done alert-screaming like I was in danger and needed help).

We get it, (from your repeated replies) - you are not motivated in the same way.

Just don't look at me strange when I look at you strange, if your kid is kicking and screaming in the middle of the walkway. That seems to be another commonly "uncontrollable" behavior of children, for some parents.
In Rust this roadblock is highlighted to Stephan. Aha, we cannot do this. Perhaps Stephan should ask the maintainer of the software they're using for a version which has the properties they desire for threaded use.

In C++ equivalent roadblocks are not sign posted. You may not even realise you're in trouble until some very strange errors begin to happen.
That's almost certainly true, but first you have to define "send to another thread"
True, and yet people are inclined to think the other grass is greener.
Mentioning it just in case. There's blotting paper you can buy to dry the ink after writing. YMMV.

Given the link says MacOS 10.6 gets it right, I wonder if they forgot, or couldn’t squeeze it into some tiny frame budget. Supposedly that’s why the pass through picture quality is so bad, they needed to cut quality in software to meet the 8ms end to end latency budget.
The big issue in New England is that heat pumps (ASHP or GSHP) are only really possible for new builds. Most existing homes will likely be forced hot water and there isn't any heat pump out there that will produce water hot enough (e.g. 185F), so your only option is to retrofit ducting (or go mini-split but then you need one in every room).

Even homes with ducted AC, it's likely they are sized for cooling only, not heat (not enough CFMs).
Interesting.. the same section banned any limitation on the importation of slaves... at least that clause had a sunset date. Both clauses were basically: "don't touch our cash cow".
Or if you're like me, Reddit will helpfully shadowban everything you ever wrote on your decade-plus account, while simultaneously claiming you can't use the appeals page because the account is still in good standing.

Lots of cases. It doesn't even have to be a tiny database. Within <1TB range there's a huge number of online companies that don't need to do more than hundreds of queries per second, but need the reliability and quick failover that RDS gives them. The $600k cost is absurd indeed, but it's not the range of what those companies spend.

Also, Aurora gives you the block level cluster that you can't deploy on your own - it's way easier to work with than the usual replication.
Because go doesn’t have exhaustiveness checking when initialising structs. Instead it encourages “make the zero value meaningful” which is not always possible nor desirable. I usually use a linter to catch this kind of problem https://github.com/GaijinEntertainment/go-exhaustruct
Today's date is impossible according to Google Gemini
Prompt: list the next friday febuary 9ths occurring on leap years

Response: Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a Friday, February 9th occurring on a leap year. Here’s why:

• February only has 28 days in a typical year and 29 days in a leap year.

• Since a month consists of 4 weeks (28 days), the day of the week for any particular date repeats every 4 years.

• This means that if February 9th falls on a Friday in a non-leap year, it will fall on a Monday in the next year, Tuesday in the year after that, Wednesday in the third year, and back to Friday in the fourth year.

• However, since the fourth year is a leap year with an extra day in February, February 9th “shifts” by one day, falling on a Saturday instead of Friday. Therefore, it’s impossible for February 9th to be a Friday in a leap year. The next Friday, February 9th will occur in 2029, but it will be a common year, not a leap year.
The point of rust is you get the performance of C++ with additional safety.
> Then the zero value is their problem, not yours.

Except for all those times you're the consumer of someone else's library and there's no way for them to indicate that creating a zero-valued struct is a bug.

Again, it's the philosophy of "Just do the right thing everywhere and you don’t have to worry!" Sometimes it's nice to work with a type system where designers of libraries can actually prevent you from writing bugs.
I think WhatsApp stands out here, as they had 55 people employed when they were acquired for 19 Billion in 2014.

I know it was mostly stock but given how things played out, that means it was worth even more as it were (Meta stock only rose from that time period onward, for the most part)

We're already starting to see this become more and more possible with fewer and fewer people.
many readers here do not know a time without plastic bags, plastic wrap, and plastic in the gutters, streams and parks.

It would be very odd for such a transformation to be so difficult that it would impose a roadblock; after all, I'd think it would usually be the application deciding it only has a single thread, rather than something 10 dependencies up the line.

The Mountain Eagle and Appalshop both have no reason to be as good as they are. Consider supporting both!
The ideal design (IMHO) for a cold-climate (such as New England) is forced air ducting with a heat pump (better GSHP than ASHP if possible) with a 2-zone high efficiency natural gas boiler for domestic hot water and AUX heat.

People always forget the hot water. A GSHP usually has a de-superheater that can provide some heat during the shoulder seasons, but you can't rely on it and need the backup heat (as you do for the AUX heat for both when it's super-cold out and for the defrost cycle).
it never fails to amaze me that when talking about EV groups that it's always just universally presumed that making a good quality, reliable, easy to service and maintain vehicle is a solved problem, and that all that matters now is whether or not you offer a specific drive-train.

even this late into the game Toyota is at a significant advantage compared to most EV groups : they have the whole 'vehicle' thing just-about mastered, they have significant production capability, and they've been dabbling with electric technologies just about longer than anyone aside from GM.

Meanwhile BYD and Tesla are still struggling with body panel fit-and-finish, delivery, repair turnaround, parts availability and numerous small QC problems.

Offering an electric drivetrain is many times easier than fixing those other problems; Toyota should know -- they've been chasing those same problems and squashing them since 1935.

> You need a precise clock for any form of GNSS[0] to function

How precise? I assume that inaccuracy in the clock produces imprecision in location - how much time inaccuracy produces how much location inaccuracy?

> And anyway, modern GNSS chips are.. $1? Cheaper? No way you wouldn't use GNSS already deployed and working (and you are not paying for it) in a commercial product.

Rather than using the Starlink satellites as an alternative to GPS - get a location fix using both Starlink and GPS, and compare them. Even given the former is going to be significantly less accurate - suppose GPS is accurate to within 5 metres and Starlink is accurate to within 5000 metres - well, if the two differ by 50,000 metres, you know something is going wrong, and the terminal might decide to disable itself in such a situation.
Just to clarify, do you mean thin so-called single use bags, or heavy bags that are intended to be reusable? I've never thought about buying and bringing "single use" bags to the store (I'm sure I'd get strange looks if I did), but I would reuse them for trash like I do with the bags they sell now.

It would probably result in less plastic used, compared to the heavy bags they currently sell.
Do you have a functioning female reproductive system?

If you do, your statements/beliefs may well apply to you.

Beyond that, you have nothing useful or worthwhile to say to or about anyone else.

I don't doubt that you believe the statements you made. As is appropriate.

But that you think you (or anyone else, for that matter) have some sort of authority over the bodies of others (in that you can prescribe appropriate actions) is what's outrageous.

Think terminating pregnancies is a bad thing? Then don't terminate your own pregnancies.

Otherwise, mind your own business. And what goes on inside the bodies of others is most definitely not your business.

Converting from a gas furnace to a heat pump costs tens of thousands of dollars, needs to be factored in as well.
It's iterative pressure to push features further down the stack. Early Unix did very little! Modern BSDs ship in a very "complete" state. The early Lisps put very little in the language, but Raku shoves every trivial thing that would go into an npm library into the language spec. The C language made you figure out how you wanted to build your code, while every new compiled language comes with some form of build tooling.

There are certain things we are doing in this landscape that are pretty effective, but they are done outside of the "you, the machine, and a greenfield project" context that drove Wirth's endeavors. The problem tends to be that they come with certain monumental thresholds of "big dependency" like a database or browser engine, and if you don't like how the big dependency was made you end up unhappy.
As someone that likes fountain pens a lot, smoothness is really not a distinguishing feature since rollerballs have been available.

> > There are indications that iOS 17.4 is using SIM carrier information to geo-lock the changes to web app functionality singularly to users in the EU. Web apps in other regions around the world remain unaffected.

Right, we know that they're doing things in the EU specifically because they're required to do so; their insistence on using geo-locking for that is grudging but not sinister. It would be sinister to say "let's intentionally remove web app functionality, only for EU users", but I don't see anything in the story that makes it implausible that what actually happened is that somebody rushed out shoddily written code for EU users, and it had this unintended effect.

This may seem like special pleading for Apple, but, as chongli's comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39321362 to which I responded pointed out, why would they want to do this? Apple is many things as a company, but small minded and spiteful (as opposed to simply dictatorial) against its users isn't usually one of them. At the very least, to present that as the only possible explanation seems to be over-reaching.
There's positive news?

Toyota didn't really reject the EV hype as much as they had just already invested heavily in alternatives[1] and probably couldn't afford to go the battery route.

In a way, the focus on hydrogen fuel cells is smart; they can in the meantime have their whole hybrid line benefit from any battery tech improvements and slowly build out a decent fueling network.

Unfortunately there may become a slight sunk cost thing around chargers in your home and reuse of those as the first few generations of EVs begin to get replaced. If FCEVs are for sale but you already have a charger in your house that is otherwise gonna go to waste, and you can "refuel" at home, what's the compelling case to buy a new car using a fuel cell?

Distributed LLM inference over chain of mobile phones
I recently saw this paper: LinguaLinked: A Distributed Large Language Model Inference System for Mobile Devices.

The authors claim that they solved the LLM memory issue on phones by chaining a bunch of Android phones together to run the LLMs through splitting the LLM to each of the Android phones. This idea actually is kind of interesting but I think a big issue of this approach is that if the LLM cannot be fitted into a single phone, why they don't go to the edge-server setting?

What do you think and do you think there is any potential real-world usecase for this work?
> Cost is the most common complaint and it's almost always from people who don't have it configured correctly (which to be fair Datadog makes it far too easy to misconfigure things and blow up costs).

I loved Datadog 10 years ago when I joined a company that already used it where I never once had to think about pricing. It was at the top of my list when evaluating monitoring tools for my company last year, until I got to the costs. The pricing page itself made my head swim. I just couldn’t get behind subscribing to something with pricing that felt designed to be impossible to reason about, even if the software is best in class.

There's definitely a difference between an 80% solution and the full 100% solution providing the fully rounded experience. Will the market leader 80% features be included as an upgrade for free or available as a value-add for a one time or monthly fee?

Others have mentioned checking the track record of said company to see how often they follow through on new features, but also their general development pipeline to know how long you have to respond if they develop and release on a similar schedule after announcing, such as it taking 2-3 quarters to fully implement vs longer.
