This is a cut of 1000 Euros versus previous. This will result in a very few high-income (headline notwithstanding, this is predicated on income, not wealth) households buying an ICE or hybrid instead of an EV.

Obviously incentives matter, but this doesn't seem particularly severe policy change.

We're in the market for a new-to-us car (in the US). The used EV tax credit is not available to us, so we're going to end up buying a car with a gas engine (likely a hybrid) to join our existing BEV [bought because of the 2014 tax credit]. I can't really complain, as the used EV credit is relatively new and if government policy says we do or don't get a credit, we incorporate that into our decision process. (If the overall population didn't do this, incentive policies like this would have no effect, so it's good that they do in order to nudge marginal decisions one way or the other.)

In my opinion it is the opposite. While modern front-end may be much more complex than back-end if you take the wrong approach towards it, most beginners tend to gravitate towards front-end. This is at least in part due to the greater volume of (sometimes low-quality) courses on basic front-end, which sometimes results in beginners knowing React and JSX but not CSS or JavaScript. But I also think it is because it is much easier to get started with front-end than back-end.
I have a guitar instructional book that I've had more than 20 years, just checked out the CD the other day and it's still good. Also I've only mastered half of the exercises in the book so I'm still getting use out of it after all this time.

How are you scraping the data right now?
Curious to hear what criteria each team considers important (top-3) for choosing the VDB they chose. There are so many vector databases available and in my experience it's actually not the most critical component in the overall GenAI/RAG architecture, although it gets the most attention.
Its too unreliable, too restricted and too not-private.

ChatGPT stopped processing images for me, trying to get help but support doesn't appear to be very fast, they asked for more info but not heard back since.

Its too restricted, can't do anything on hard topics. It doesn't work when you try to work out exploits or dangers in a system for example.

Its not private, they say they don't train on API requests but companies steer clear when it comes to send sensitive data.

Tangentially related: I switched from Spotify to YT Premium just because YT was only marginally more expensive and bundles ad-free YT app. If I were Spotify I would be furious and yelling antitrust all over this. Maybe the reason Google removed YT Premium Lite was so you couldn't point out that for some reason Premium is much cheaper than Premium Lite + Music standalone.

That's an interesting "failure" mode.I wonder if the code starts with "hours ago" then "days ago" and just tops out at "months ago", or whether it just always rounded to "months ago".
That’s why everywhere that I work I introduce Must, Could, Should.

It gives people the ability to express their opinion with coulds, improve for objective reasons with shoulds, and enforce in house conventions with musts.

The rule for a must is that to apply one you have to say yes to the question “would I apply this to code written by the CTO/Head of Engineering?” and to argue a must you have to answer yes to the question “would I query this from the CTO/HoE?”

It’s not perfect but it always makes code review a faster, less contentious process in my experience.

To be clear, I didn’t come up with this - I picked it up at my first real dev job and have carried it on.
The Bretton Woods Agreement and our military probably do us more favors than our spending habits (which are enormous).
Regardless of who said it and what they meant, I don’t want more code to write tests for, more pages to read through when stuff breaks, more material for new engineers to learn. You can always start copy-pasting and make a mess later - less true in the reverse.

Like almost anything it can be taken too far or misapplied.

In the quoted example, when I have multiple occurrences of related business logic, I build a vocabulary of reusable sub elements - find the joints and carve, don’t build a giant mutant.
> I don't think other music services are materially different.

I'm afraid you thought incorrectly, the following is true for basically every other service available:

* Better quality sound

* Payout to content creators is higher

* Cheaper

The nail in the coffin for me (as a consumer) was Ek's €100m A.I. arms tech investment.

The nail in the coffin for me as a content creator is likely going to be the new 1000 streams per song before getting ANY royalties; will have to see how it plays out, but I'm not having my music on that shitty platform if they're going to profit from it without recompense.
A bit of a softball don't you think? The initial message suggests "Are you ready to experience the world's fastest Large Language Model (LLM)? We'd suggest asking about a piece of history"

So I did.
I noticed that Google is ranking Quora very high lately. Which is absurd because the first answer on Quora is usually auto-LLM answered post.

I have to actively exclude Quora to get a better answer.

The enshittification of the Web has truly begun.
I am not trying to downplay the contribution of the paper, but isn't it obvious that this is the case?
> If a sentence of length 'n' resides on a single line, wrapping on-screen, deleting the sentence is just 'dd'.

And if it's not? But this is wrong anyway, dd deletes the whole line, not the sentence

Your recipe of repeat-searching for '.' is also a downgrade fail from text object selection since multiple cursors can have sentences with different number of periods

> Vim has three different visual highlighting modes

And not a single one comparable to the criticized one since vim's visual modes always extend, and you lose selections on going back to normal

> still required to trial and error

which is much easier to do when your converging on the correct selection visually without any edit commands shifting text all around you

> But there's no loss of behavior IMO between Vim and Kakoune here.

Earlier feedback is what's lost

How does this work with multiple cursors?
I might be able to add several points to this discussion:
- For me, caffeine has really bad impact on my sleep quality, and it is an accumulative effect: After being abstinent for 1-2 weeks, I can drink 2 cups of coffee in the morning, and I will have good sleep. After 1-3 days of daily 2 cups of coffee, my sleep quality goes down
- Most research about safety of coffee is done with young, healthy adults w/o any medical preconditions. Which translates to, everything found in the research is objectively true, still it totally cannot apply to your, your health and life circumstances
- Finally, I observe people around me which can tolerate higher amounts of caffeine w/o any side effects. To the best of my knowledge there are very individual tolerance levels for caffeine and also very individual metabolization speeds

tldr:
- caffeine is known to increase anxiety, heart rate and disturb sleep
- YMMV and it even might vary depending on your age, phase of life, other activities
- if you observe feeling stressed, problems with sleeping or winding down, try to avoid caffeine/alcohol/etc. for a few weeks and observe if you feel better
What about K? (2002)
That's why much like the dark/light mode switch has become standard, "compact"/"touch mode" should too.
(Not directed at you, but the JS implementation)

I don't understand the point of this. What good is an object in a Set if it can't be deduped?

With this and so much else in the core language, I wish they just incorporated lodash into Ecmascript and called it a day. https://lodash.com/docs/4.17.15#uniqWith (the example is specifically for comparing objects by value)

> but it's been stuck in committee hell for years.

It's been like this for more than a decade, too. I've never seen a popular language evolve SO slowly, whether it's with Sets, or things like the Temporal API or TypeScript or JSX or bundlers. Almost all the innovation in JS seems to come from third parties forced to hack them in, whether through vendor prefixes, jQuery, or later ecosystems like npm libs and React. In that same time period, PHP improved by leaps and bounds, entire languages like Rust came out of nowhere and gained a foothold, WASM was developed, etc. And lodash is STILL around and still useful.

It's so frustrating to watch.
I mean per capita. It's the only measure that matters
The pipeline was not in use. The sabotage did not impact Russia's profits. If anything, it helped Russia financially, since they no longer had an obligation to pay for the pipeline.
It hasn't yet. Third times the charm right?
Why does it sound like addiction and not just enjoying something?

I don’t get this sentiment.
Hours away from civilization? This example fab is 7mi from downtown Saratoga Springs, an absolutely delightful small town.

It is also <30mi from Albany and ~20mi from Troy.

Loads of small towns aren't hours away from "civilization".
That’s fair, I would actually love to have a ‘Symbol.compare’ to implement so instances can be sorted and checked for equality.
That does sound like a bug, the planner should be inlining all of that. I would mention it on the postgres mailing list so a committer with more experience in how the planner marshals all that stuff together can weigh in.

Heh, I don't even doubt the legality, I was talking purely about subjective expectations, about how it feels to us.

I agree that the obsolescence rate has skyrocketed, as a side-effect of always-online development.
I don't have a lot of experience with Emacs, let alone evil (and none at all with meow or god). But my experience with it was that evil felt distinctly.. hacky? For example, Evil felt like it interfered with selecting restarts in Sly.

I've had similar issues with VscodeVim being weird in VSC. Ultimately the text editor is so core to a text editor (duh) that deeply modifying it is bound to give a worse experience than implementing it from scratch, even if it does give you a lot of nice stuff 'for free'.
We for sure love the support we've gotten from folks who say "Hey I don't need a full rack but I love what you're doing."

The issue isn't desire, it's more of focus and design difficulty. The design of the product starts from "what if you're building servers by the rack," and so a lot of choices make sense in that context, but not necessarily others. So building something smaller means effectively building a different product. And of course, many companies have multiple product lines, but they're also much more mature than we are: we've only shipped two racks so far (more to come soon!). And that's where the "focus" comes in: we need to build a sustainable company first, and then expand second. I can't speak to where the future goes, and if we will eventually go in that direction, or on what timescale, but what I can say is that we hear you on our side.
It was also when CDs were $19.99-25 which I distinctly remember because I was 10 in 1995 when I bought my first CDs (smash, it was written, dookie) and I could rarely afford to buy them.

And then artists still weren't getting paid but an even bigger portion of my income went to them. shrug.
>that is very much contrary to free markets or capitalism

Free markets and capitalism are related but not the same. The government using capital as an incentive for companies to increase output is an example of capitalism.
This does read like a slight snark (the step from 'fringe' to 'mainstream' - who wants to be mainstream?). It further emphasises the point that in the 80s and early 90s looking for non-local 'long tail' music as a youth was pretty much impossible. Especially if / when too young for bars and concerts, all you could find had to be signed on mainstream labels. I had the luck in that I could go to local concerts, thus discovering local talent (and buying their cassette tapes). You needed venues and allowing parents for that. Currently listening to several artists with < 500 streamers a month on Spotify. Nothing in the 80s and 90s can compare with that discoverability.
People don't generally see how much trash end up in the ocean since water surface naturally obscure visibility, and pollution obscure it even further. It far from just grocery bag. Littering is very common behavior, and cities located near rivers or the ocean has trash ending up in the water all the time.

To get a bit of sense of the scale, every single dive center teaches divers about trash, and basically every employee of such places pick up trash as a matter of being able to do education. It is simply not a good practice to have students training diving when trash is littering around them. Measure a square meter and almost regardless where it is, there will be trash in it if located close to a city. In a city river there seems to be more trash than rocks.

Decomposing nature fibers like paper or cloth does not leave microplastics. It also don't survive long time in the water so water near cities with bans on plastic bag and plastic eating utensils tend to be significant cleaner. The sad thing is that it is mostly just divers who will see this since the water tend to still have poor visibility (traffic, eutrophication, and other runoffs).

I love fast-paced, riff-focused metal. I didn't find out until I got Spotify that that genre was called thrash metal. I absolutely would not have found all the albums and artists I listen to daily without Spotify. It's one of the few proprietary apps I don't mind on my phone and PC.
Take a look at their comment history- so many are clearly LLM. Oddly they claim it isn't, when they are called out. Very odd. Why bother commenting at all? Certainly won't get karma.

You can project your programs into different views and add lots of metadata about the program and use that data in various contexts. Also extends to source control and other use cases. It looked really neat.

I'm not sure what happened to it.
My understanding is that climate risk is the primary driver of this but the scams can’t help.
I did not fully appreciate this until I had to edit a script written by a non-English speaker. It was absolutely incomprehensible until I ran all the variable names through Google translate. After that, piece of cake.
> even python you can do that with __eq__ i think

In Python __hash__() needs to be implemented in order to put something in a set.

You cannot override that in Javascript, but you can roll your own set with custom hash function by wrapping a Map.

Except using a URL fragment refers to a “resource that is subordinate to another, primary resource” not a destination. They point out the URL abuse, so why do it?

Slot is also a part of the custom elements standard, but they say no custom elements.

Why use only web standards and then use them incorrectly?
Shrug. I click search, and the search is good. It also quickly suggests New Releases which is the only playlist I care to explore.
For example, it is rumored that AMD is using the extra transistor density to double the width of the FPUs from 256 bit to 512 bit. Probably all the core structures like the ROB and branch predictor will get a little bigger as well.
And, as we are seeing with companies like Air Canada, it bites them in the ass. It may not have been a huge punishment, having to pay out $500~ to someone, but I continuously hope that each instance of that kind of thing happening decreases peoples' chances of just tossing a half-assed chatgpt chatbot on their site.
Is there actually some kind of list which shows in a table what kind of cancers are currently treatable by which experimental medicine?
> their are always ambiguities with CSVs

Right, that's the point of a good library, to handle the ambiguities via insightful coding solutions, accumulated over decades - enough solutions to make it worth using the library. Other ambiguities can be handled with Q&A which result in automated solutions: 'the text looks like either X or Y, which is it?', and then disambiguating the text based on the answer.

Another benefit would be that, if the library became useful and widely used enough, it would become an unofficial standard: people would make CSV's compatible with the library and its output would become a norm.

All a happy fantasy! :)
Joke's on you, we're into that:

Hongeo-hoe is a type of fermented fish dish from Korea's Jeolla province. Hongeo-hoe is made from skate and emits a very strong, characteristic ammonia-like odor

Skates (hongeo) are cartilaginous fish that excrete uric acid through the skin, rather than by urinating as other animals do. As they ferment, ammonia is produced, which helps preserve the flesh and gives the fish its distinctive, powerful odor.

From the article,

> Magnificent 7 returned an incredible 107% over 2023, far outpacing the broader MSCI USA index, which delivered a still healthy but relatively paltry 27% to investors.

If I owned those stocks, I'd say that's magnificent.
Right. Thin plastic to thick plastic is 0.5 to 2.5.

That's a factor of 5, I guessed 6, off by one.

The factor of 40 you originally cited is based off the site's 20 mil figure for actual reusable bags.

It's ok to misread, no need to play the victim when both your comments make it clear what happened
The headline is misleading. The comparison is of profits and market cap to those of national stockmarkets, not whole countries.

It does show there is a problem. The main one being that most of them do not face real competition - big tech companies can erect too many barriers to entry.

The other question is whether they are overvalued at these levels. The article quotes a 107% return over 2023 in these companies. Did something happen in 2023 to make them so much more valuable? Or was the market badly undervaluing them at the start of the year?
This is how I do it. Everything is in GitLab and I mirror a few repos to GitHub for public consumption and issue tracking.

One of the common methods of decaffeinating coffee uses supercritical CO2, which is in my view significantly less scary than the “proprietary green coffee extract” used by the Swiss Water process.

I suspect neither is actually harmful. And neither is the chemical solvent based decaf, honestly. Not in levels that are meaningful to health.

Show HN: Coordinating Trips Between Friends and Family
I've been working on this project to simplify the organization done by one or two people to get a group of people to agree on a place to go that works with everyone's schedule.

I've found in the past that email/text makes it tricky to get everyone to get a sense of the details of a trip, and also puts one person in the position to be persistent and spend a lot of time ensuring everyone's needs are met. This simple app attempts to ease that process and keep everyone in sync.

It's similar to Troupe but aiming to focus on the basics of the upfront coordination rather than the activities/itinerary (at this point)

Would love feedback and thoughts on the current state and where the best places to take it next are. It's a bit barebones at this point but more coming soon!

Behind the scenes it uses flutter/firebase

1. Publishing a tracker for RAM prices out of passion for open source and/or computer hardware is noble. Exploiting this for personal monetary gain, however, is not.

2. From my read of how the affiliate program works, the author is basically pocketing some change for every sale made from an outbound click from this website. I can see this being valid for content like an in-depth review or benchmark of a particular model. But here, 100s of links are plastered with no context--extracting affiliate revenue from this feels scummy, cheap, and low-effort. Unlike a review, for example, there is no additional value being contributed that one can't already find directly on the product page.
It communicates in English. It can literally "speak" if connected to a voice interface, of course. Are you trying to miss the point, or do you not believe that ChatGPT can fluently communicate in English without requiring additional input modes for communication?

You clearly have a point you'd like to make, but I don't think claiming that ChatGPT can't "speak" English is a effective way to make it. It can.
Me so: What? I looked at the code and it is really hacky. But so great
Other commenters have pointed to tricks that are undoubtedly useful, but the real answer imo is to understand where rounding error will be introduced in your problem, and where it can become catastrophic so that you can use careful alternatives in those cases.

I upgraded my 10 year old PC to Ryzen 5000 a couple of years back, and have never really looked back. Sure, it wasn't that long until 7000 supplanted it, but my PC is still just fine, and will likely be for the next 7 years or so (the biggest wild card is Windows support).

The only thing I really regret is getting a B450 Motherboard that only supports 1 NVMe SSD (and only PCIE Gen 3 SSDs). I would focus on making sure your motherboard has enough RAM and SSD expansion room, and then buy a big enough power supply for whatever GPU you want to run. You might want to figure out whether Zen 5 will have a new chipset, and if so, will the IO be significantly better. Nothing else is going to make a huge difference.
If this was intended to be responsive to my comment, I'm missing the connection.
