That doesn't make sense. A hunter-gatherer would have to trade their entire lifestyle for the modern world. And it isn't clear to me that the relief he or she would feel would be worth the entire destruction of their way of life. In fact, I believe it would not be, especially for the many more than aren't hungry or in pain.

Personally, I would trade the lows if I could live in a world where most technology did not exist (that would mean in particular, I could drink from any stream or relax without hearing an ICE.) And no, that does not mean going off into the woods now, where the experience would be vastly different, being surrounded by advanced society.
If everyone pitched in just a tiny bit, picking up a single piece of "someone else's" trash... we'd live in a significantly nicer world. There's a very stubborn "I didn't do it, not my problem" mindset in the US specifically.
>Your towns aren't built for walkers and public transport and that sucks, but there's no need to project that to everywhere else!

And I'd say you're grossly mischaracterizing the US. Every small town I've lived in has ample sidewalks, crosswalks, and is easily walkable. Where my children go to school I can walk from one end of town to the other without ever having to risk life and limb. Heck a few of the sidewalks extend a mile out into the country just in anticipation of the city eventually growing. The town I grew up in was the same. The entire US isn't small-town Texas.
Hospital bills?
You're really just flailing about hoping something will land. It's amusing to watch, but that's all.

If you'd like to get as good as you're giving, how about you tell us what country you're from, so we can provide an opinion about choice episodes in its history in return? Fair is fair, no?
Yeah I might have been wrong, simply went with https://blog.stenmans.org/theBeamBook/#_reductions

Now that I reread that section, it also depends on whether you call a BIF or not, I'll think about how to phrase that better in the blog post.

Thanks!
And then you have vim. Same as always. Yet still the same as it was.

Same goes for KDE (if you forget 4), Windows (more or less if you skip Windows 8) since 95, bash, LibreOffice.

> eARC lets your TV pass those along to your compatible receiver even if the TV itself can't make heads or tails of the format.

DisplayPort Multi Stream Transport (MST) serves that role. Given that you'd only be passing along the audio data, rather than the video data, you could save money by putting the slowest available hardware (only BRR-capable) into the receiver.

Or, the TV could "just" pass along the audio stream to any plugged-in receiver. You don't gotta have a standard for that... just a standardized way to ask the TV to do it (assuming that you want to control the behavior and not have the conditional be "Is there a receiver plugged in? Pass along the audio and don't send it to the TV speakers.").

Only new ones. ACM’s paper archives are still useful for looking into the past. Often if the paper isn’t that popular, they are the only source. However, this announcement is just about the CACM, still useful, but it isn’t opening up the archive.
Hate to play the one-up game but this is too crazy not to share. I was doing consulting at Travelocity/SABER, which was in the no man's land between Dallas and Fort Worth. The company put me up in the Marriott on the other side of the highway from their campus. Not only were there no sidewalks for the short distance, there were rough rocks covering the shoulder like you'd find along a seawall, so you couldn't even trudge through the weeds and mud to get over to the campus if you were determined to do so. On the good side of things, Google Street View shows that they are now installing sidewalks, but I have to wonder who decided back then that the rocks were a good idea in the first place? It's a rural area, relatively speaking, and unlikely to have been done for anti-camping reasons. At least two decades of people had to take shuttle buses between the hotel and campus regardless of their desire to walk.
> some software package to be installed, presumably in the interest of security, which injects a dll into every process on the machine

You don't even have to get that far. Shell extensions (for file open or save dialogs) and printer drivers also introduce arbitrary DLLs to your processes. And some of them are compiled in an old version of IIRC Delphi or Turbo Pascal, which on the DLL startup code unconditionally changes the floating point control word to something which causes unexpected behavior in some framework you're using.

(We ended up wrapping all calls to file open or save or print dialogs with code to save and restore the floating point control word, just in case they had loaded one of these annoying DLLs.)
> That can't easily be added to be the equivalent of some kind of LLM prompt on GNOME/KDE/XFCE?

Both GNOME and KDE have that already. Shouldn't be too hard to implement what you're thinking if the APIs/services are available.
Consumers don't touch any ts, outside the (technically optional) .d.ts

Thecwayvi understand it in theory, the typescript version a library uses could disappear forever the day after a library had been published to JSR and all would be fine.

Until someone wants to maintain the code of course, but then you'd have the exact same problem with the elusive typescript version if the repository only took compile output.

What JSR would break (or make a deliberately difficult path?) is using some private fork of typescript that isn't even available on the day of publication.

The benefit of JSR, as far as I understand it, is offering an easy path to publication that makes type parts not an extra that some might skip but a reliable default. It does make me wonder however, how long-term reliable the finding will be: JSR promises more service than registries before, while also being more tool agnostic. I'm not sure if it's true, but my impression was that in many cases, the registry was primarily bankrolled by however the tooling was funded, e.g. effectively becoming a marketing expense to selling tooling expertise. JSR appears particularly removed from any of that and it's bad enough when the repository fades away in terms of static hosting, it's worse if it also leaves your library without a build process.
I've been the excel/vba resource at various consulting firms for 20+ years...

I strongly recommend you enlist some people like me to kick the tires on your product before a more wide roll-out

among other things, I'd make an effort to implement as many standard excel functions as possible

--> I would LOVE a highly performant version of google sheets (though ideally as a desktop style app) so I can use keyboard shortcuts among other reasons

--> one thing I like about google sheets that you don't have is that it has excel style short-cuts like alt+d+f+f for autofilter... (though I really only use google sheets as a grocery list so I can walk through my house and do an inventory using my phone)
My comment does not contradict anything you say here.
Maybe that's a fine rationale for Nordstream 1, but it's a terrible rationale for Nordstream 2. There were repeated votes strongly in favor (like, 8-to-1 ratio) of halting the project in European Parliament not to mention strong and vocal opposition from the US, Ukraine, Poland and the Baltics.
You're right, I'll fix it in the post.

Thanks!

Sorry, but no. This is so wrong I don't know where to start.
That's probably reading uninitialized memory. You can get away with that for a VERY long time, until you can't. See the earlier valgrind recommendation.

But that sort of report isn't a deep mystery, it's just a specific class of bug. Given the description, you've got a pretty good idea of what you're looking for.
They say that is a "cradle-to-gate" analysis, which means it covers the cost from gathering resources through manufacturing up to the point it leaves the factory.

Consider an EV with a 75 kWh battery pack. Using their numbers that would be 2318 kg of CO₂ to make that battery. If the battery lasts 1000 full cycles that would be 75000 kWh of energy produced.

Amortizing that 2300 kg of CO₂ over that gives 0.0303 kg CO₂/kWh discharged.

A typical EV gets about 4 miles per kWh, so that's about 0.0076 kg of CO₂/mile driven.

A gallon of gasoline releases 8.8 kg of CO₂ when burned. Given an ICE car that gets 40 miles/gallon that's 0.22 kg CO₂/mile.

That's 29x as much CO₂ per mile as the EV.

Instead of amortizing, and assuming clean electricity, the EV costs 2318 kg CO₂ upfront for its equivalent of a gas tank but has 0 CO₂ operating cost. The ICE has negligible CO₂ cost for its gas tank up front, but costs 0.22 kg CO₂/mile operating cost.

Breakeven for the EV vs the ICE is at 10300 miles. For the average American that's about 9 months worth of driving.

PS: I took a look at non-clean electricity. Electricity from coal or petroleum burning power plants is about 1 kg CO₂/kWh. An EV gets about 4 miles/kWh so that's about 0.25 kg CO₂/mi if you charge your EV with 100% coal or petroleum based electricity. Slightly worse than a 40 mpg ICE car.

The US average is around 0.4 kg CO₂/kWh electricity, which would give 0.11 kg CO₂/mi to operate an EV. That's about 2x the cost of the 40 mpg ICE.

Note that the above is ignoring the CO₂ costs of producing the gasoline. Brief Googling suggests that is somewhere from 1.5-3 kg CO₂/gallon from well to gas pump, which would raise the cost of buring a gallon of gas from 10.3-11.8 kg CO₂/gallon, or by 17-34%.

That would make the EV slightly better than the ICE when powered from coal or petroleum plant electricity, and 2.3-2.7x better when powered by average US electricty, and 34-39x better when powered by clean electricity.
> Much like there wasn't one "Caesar", since it's a title

It wasn't (yet) a title during the lifetime of Gaius Julius Caesar, though...

Like the non-Germanic Slavic "Tsar".

> Sextus Julius Caesar in around 200 BC, 300 years before Gaius Julius Caesar was born.

Did you accidentally swap the 200 and 300, or are you saying Julius was born ~100 AD?
Everything is a trade-off.

The fact that you are comparing a larger television to having indoor plumbing shows a lack of perspective or good-faith argument on your part.
Do you enjoy sitting in a traffic jam? If not, you want as many people as possible in buses and trains.
I think this time it won't spread as much because most people just ask their LLM for a leftpad function.
can be done using service workers or workbox(abstraction to sw)
Or wrap to a shell script if the LLM has a local "CLI" interface, right?
Anyone want to share their personal experience with moving from Grafana to SigNoz? I really like the idea of this project but is it better?
I would just like to add some of my findings around the developer friction with isolated declarations.

The whole reason isolated declarations is taking so long is because we also worry about making the requirements of this too onerous. To this end with isolated declarations, you do have to specify most types, but not all. For expression where we can reasonably infer the type from local context, we do so.

This should ease some of the developer friction. Not all of it. Some things will not be inferrable, but things like primitive types, object literals, tuples will be so it should make it easier.

We also worked on a code fixer that adds explicit type annotations where this new flag would raise an error, again to help people migrate if they choose to do so.
SNES ROMs have a checksum right in the header, but there were still bad dumps circulating for years. Presumably they escaped before the header was properly reverse engineered.

I'm not exactly sure why that checksum exists, the console doesn't check it, and in manufacturing you could just read and compare. But it's certainly convenient for verifying a good dump.
Show HN: Endoftext – An AI-Powered Prompt Editor
Hi HN! We're Alex & Alex, and we want to show you endoftext (https://endoftext.app), an AI-powered prompt editor we've been building. endoftext generates suggestions and test cases that can rewrite and evaluate your AI prompts. Here's a 60 second demo:

https://youtu.be/PGv5ymOhaNA

Prompting is hard. And tedious. Should I tip my model? Use in-context examples? We've worked with dozens of companies building and evaluating AI-driven applications, and the prompt engineering step is always the most frustrating. It takes tribal knowledge and guessing and checking to get right.

Think of endoftext as Grammarly for your prompts. As you write your prompt, we provide suggestions on improving it - simplifying instructions, clarifying the output format, etc. You can apply these suggestions to rewrite your prompt with a fix automatically. We also suggest new test cases to identify how your prompt might fail. Through your interactions, endoftext learns what types of prompt patterns and test cases you care about.

The endoftext beta has a set of simple suggestions and test case generations. We are actively working on adding more useful suggestions, and we'd love your feedback on what you'd like to see!

You can start using it at https://app.endoftext.app
Slack's chat interface feels fine to me. What would prevent me from switching off Slack is losing my Slack integrations/the Slack developer APIs. How does Struct address this?
> Historical data shows Earth was greener and had larger animal mass when it was warmer.

Which historical data? For example the hottest period ever was during time of Pangaea supercontinent, which was largely desert.
One thing about LLMs is that they are 6GB+ (and much larger for "smart" ones) just sitting in the background. They suck power and produce heat like nothing else, and they are finicky, especially at smaller sizes.

Running one as a background desktop assistant is whole different animal than calling a Microsoft API.
"..Atlanta does quarterly street sweeping.." this stood out.

Is that the normal amount. In the UK I see sweepers around, I guess maybe it takes that long to get around or do we just sweep more in other countries ?

EDIT: I looked up my area in London
https://www.southwark.gov.uk/street-care/litter-on-streets-a...

Most residential roads in the borough receive a litter- picking service every other day and are manually swept once every 5 weeks. Busy areas, such as retail areas, have a daily presence to make sure they're kept clean and litter free.

I know US infrastructure is worse, but this is to quite a ridiculous level - the amount of damage everyone is paying for, for their cars is insane.
Yes. You're right

Russia had benefits with both. They worked together ( Snowden and Assange).

But Snowden wasn't a Russian puppet like Assange.
The Vulkan Roadmap definitions are supposed to address this problem for the 95% use case.

If you want to be at the bleeding edge of technology, you're always going to have to put in some extra work. At least Vulkan makes that possible: vendor extensions often expose features earlier than they appear in D3D12 at all. (Though D3D12 vendor extensions also exist -- if anything, they're messier than the Vulkan counterpart.)
I mean Go is really close to that.

It even ported C's (lack of an) error handling model.

It's hard to strike a balance between taking responsibility when no one else will and not being a doormat, but it's one worth finding.
After visiting Austria and Germany, I'm "hooked" on Via Ferattas. It's astounding the number and variety of them available... I'm going to make a vacation next year where that's all I do

However, Colorado needs to do some soul searching. Currently Colorado has exactly TWO free-access Via Ferattas: Ouray and Telluride. Allowing commercial companies to build exclusive access theme parks on public lands is a gross misuse of public lands.

Private land owners can charge if they want for all I care, but the most obnoxious thing about this model is even an experienced climber often must "hire a 'certified' guide" at absurd rates.

Well 'year' can mean two different things though: 'calendar year' or 'solar year'.

Your calendar year birthday would be March 1 since one full calendar year has elapsed.

But Feb 28 is the nearest day to one full solar year, assuming you were born before about 6pm local time on Feb 29.

Two-day long birthday it is! :)

You're welcome. Tides are fun, and that's mostly why I jumped in. Tides are also hard and have occupied a lot of thinking time for gravitational scientists, and naval people with respect to Earth's ocean:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tide-Predicting_Machine_No._2 (be sure to see the photos).

Your comment about the solid earth tide was pretty neat because few people who aren't professionally into geodesy or the study of Earth's gravitation think about that.

As I mentioned, there are tides in all sorts of bodies elsewhere in our solar system (and beyond). The ones people think about are atmospheric tides and ocean tides (within e.g. Europa), or how it couples to volcanism (e.g. Io's magma and Enceladus's ice).

However, scattered about our solar system there are "asteroids" in pairs, where one is what amounts to a blob of kitty litter to large gravel, and the other is a more solid body. The rubble-pile is especially interesting in a tidal context. I just submitted https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39561656 which the Royal Astronomical Society announced yesterday in various places including <https://twitter.com/RAS_Journals/status/1763219322732786054> (the image is worth a click, but also appears as Fig. 1 in the full article at the HN submission; if you hate X and/or extra clicks, this is a direct link: <https://academic.oup.com/view-large/figure/441211342/stae325...>).

When general relativity students learn about decompositions of the Riemann curvature tensor they are sometimes taken to the idea of a sort of cloud of coffee-grounds (with the special provision that they pass through each other, always have gaps between them, or are otherwise non-collisional and therefore non-clumping; and they have no internal pressure) to see a variety of ways in which one can find "tidal forces" encoded in e.g. the Weyl curvature tensor (which is extracted from the Riemann curvature tensor). Baez is an example of this <https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/gr/outline2.html> and <https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/gr/ricci.weyl.html>, although textbooks generally stick to "test particles".

Rubble pile asteroids, while essentially not needing any post-Newtonian gravitational corrections at all, are a neat step up in difficulty because they do clump. But unlike larger bodies, they aren't fused by e.g. melting; the rubble can shift around unlike a fused rock or icy concretion; and internal pressures and shear stresses are low. So the rubble (how it shifts around, what shape it tends to adopt) will be affected by tides induced by the sun and possibly other solar system bodies closer to them.

Personally I like the idea of depositing a crash test dummy loaded with sensors onto the surface of (probable) rubble-pile 101955 Bennu. Is it like a ball pit, or like a bean-bag chair? Does the dummy sink or get buried in landslides or fountains of material? (We already know we can send things there (and return them): <https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasas-bennu-asteroid-sam>).
That pull-off system sounds extremely interesting, was it a common way of time tracking back then? Do you have any pictures by accident?
Given the complete lack of situational awareness presented here, I guess we will have to assume someone could straight up call you an asshole to your face and you wouldn't even notice. Not a bad way to live life, to be fair.
Read it. A little every day until you've passed your eyes over all of it.

Make notes about mysterious things. Check them off once you've figured them out.

Try to find the 'business case' database. You will fail, nobody has one. Make one then, while you're reading the code.
Why doesn't the city run street sweepers on these roads?
Yep. I’ll be more willing to take a risk and have a child with someone if they won’t get de facto custody and financially ruin me for life if we divorce. Which is statically more probable than us staying together.
