1) Well, Volkswagen have one planned for 2025, the ID 2all for about 25000 USD [1]. The BYD e2 costs around 15000 USD [2]. It's almost a physical fact that EVs are cheaper than gasoline cars to produce. Right now the prices are higher because of marketing (they can charge more as they have limited production capacity), they designed the cars as premium, suppliers have not yet optimized and standardized their EV components to the same degree as their combustion engine products and their volumes are lower.

2) Better range than gas cars was maybe a bit wrong, but what I meant was good enough to make any difference in practice. You can drive an EV long enough that your bladder or stomach says stop before the car. And with fast charging in less than 15 minutes, it's about the same it takes to take a quick break.

3) Well they can be faster in acceleration if needed, but that is of course not necessary. They are quieter, better torque etc.

4) They are heavier today because the batteries are over-dimensioned. In a couple of years, with the fast charging technology being introduced today, the battery could be made half the size. And the weight of SUVs where it adds no functionality versus a regular form factor car is just dumb payload. A regular form-factor EV car weighs same or less than a gasoline SUV.

5) Environmental costs? Yeah, as if gas cars have been good for the environment up until now. Try to recycle that gasoline. At least batteries can be recycled.

The biggest mistake (IMO) is thinking that anything he would or could have done would have resulted in a different outcome.

The US wanted an excuse to invade because Saddam had pissed some people off in the gov't, and they found it. It was transparent BS at the time to people who cared to look, most didn't care to look and therefore it was sufficient to get the votes they needed.

Does Obsidian feature a way to seamlessly sync between devices that doesn't rely on a propreitary service or external tool (Syncthing)?
It will be a great subway once the madness is over.
I went from Notion and Joplin to Obsidian mostly because Obsidian stores stuff as regular files on my filesystem and I can easily interact with them with external programs and scripts.

Joplin, while being open source itself, has a "proprietary"[1] storage format I can't be arsed to figure out how to interact with.

[1] Meaning non-standard in this case, Joplin is the only software using Joplin's storage method
Daily Mail on HN? I thought we were better than this.
Show HN: A clean, minimalistic JSON linter and formatter
I wanted to build myself something to validate & format JSON quickly - for the longest time I've just googled it and used a random site, but they're always super cluttered, so I decided to build something minimalistic & try some tech out:

Vite - damn, this thing is fast. So much better than Create React App
Shadcn - I know it's all the craze now, but I find this visual to be super appealing
Zustand - I've only used Redux previously & I've heard good stuff about Zustand. So far so good, but I suppose you need a much more complex project to really validate it.
Please ping me back with your experience using it for ESP32 stuff.

Is there some correlation here with the world lowest fertility rate?

Edit: Legitimate question, not insinuating anything. If questions are off limits, that’s pretty sad for inquiry, understanding and knowledge.

It’s a legitimate question as the article points out such a male/female inversion of fans is unique. Maybe women choosing different lifestyles, which is 100% their choice. But can still be correlated. Or other factors at play?

The article doesn’t have answers. So questions are what we are left with.
Good question, just a thought: maybe because it’s a Chinese company and trade restrictions can be easily placed if BYD starts interfering with western markets?
Many such ideas are the work of Enlightenment pamphleteers engaged in self-flattery and anti-Church propaganda (including the Protestant variety). By straw manning the Middle Ages (especially the Middle Ages, as many of these types had an ax to grind against the Church) or the ancients as superstitious imbeciles, it makes them look better, these true men of reason, in the eyes of the ignorant whom they sought to impress.

And wacky ideas like fundmentalism are likewise very new historically, but eagerly seized upon by our modern sophists who, again, have an ax to grind.

You have been downvoted for this but you are entirely correct.

The differentiation in terminology is entirely a fiction created by marketing teams for these kinds of tools.

I'm saying this is someone that sees the benefit in this specific tool and desires to implement it for my team.

There is no reason that tools like FiveTran couldn't handle the same things that tools like Census do. They just focused on a specific set of use cases, ignored other ones that were more of a paradigm shift. Then when teams created products that fill this void they referred to them as reverse ETL for entirely marketing reasons.

It's an example of where enterprise software gatekeepers such as Gartner drive negative value by deliberately confusing the language to sell their magic quadrant reports to risk adverse executives at massive corporations.
In this particular case of article, the culprits where the boys in the same school. There has been bullying in schools forever. There are social norms, rules and laws to deal with it. In the worst case, you can sue for defamation.

For this particular article case, there is no need for new laws or rules. Just take the boys, give them a harsh warning, public humiliation and if it repeats then suspend from the school. Whether there is AI or no AI, it is irrelevant.

Whether this is relevant or not about the harms of social media is not related to the AI. If the article headline would be "social media gives new ways to bullying" it would be more to correct. However the article headline is about AI, and is thus a clickbait, and dishonest in its narrative.
A thought provoking analogy, but I don't think it's applicable because my house isn't performing an essential service for other people.

A better analogy might be a friend stopping to double check that my front door is locked before he walks away leaving his child in my care.

If we use an analogy at all, it must account for the fact that millions of bad actors are constantly wandering by and checking the security of my proverbial house. Like, if my house was on an extremely busy street and a someone came to me and said "hey, the lock on your front door doesn't work", I would not have them arrested, nor would it be practical for me to arrest every passerby that checked the lock for whatever reason.
Docker Swarm takes the Compose format and takes it to multi-node clusters with load balancing, while keeping things pretty simple and manageable, especially with something like Porainer!

For larger scale orchestratiom, Hashicorp Nomad can also be a notable contender, while in some ways still being simpler than Kubernetes.

And even when it comes to Kubernetes, distros like K3s and tools like Portainer or Rancher can keep managing the cluster easy.

Maybe, it depends on the hardware. An old comment of mine on this topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29534435
Pure Black Scholes is not really that useful nowadays because of its key limitations, some can be easily fixed (dividends, no risk free rate, etc.) other cannot (constant volatility) which makes it only useful in areas like vol targeting where you want the volatility to be constant.

That aside, changing instrument loops at timestamps is an interesting method of making music compared to "the usual" method of having an instrument play a pitch for this long, play another pitch for that long, pause for this long.
Plume looks very interesting! One place I personally find many apps in this category fall down is their ability to handle pdf’s embedded or attached within notes gracefully. This applies to desktop and mobile apps.

This may be a slightly weird use case but I accumulate tons of pdf’s that are often relevant to my notes and want them easily embedded and viewable in a first class way. Obsidian is a great example of how not to handle a pdf locking it to a small portion of the window and not allowing it to be full screened.

Forcing the user to dump all of their pdf’s into something like google drive locked away from the rest of their notes is a crappy experience and h fortunately keeps me using apps like evernote purely for this functionality.
If it wasn't totally impossible to implement, you could replace all taxes with low single digit percent per year service fee on your total assets for protecting them from criminals and foreign dictators. (Piketty invented that. It was tried, and didn't work out well for pragmatic reasons like jurisdiction shopping.)

The service fee would be set so that the return on capital was equal to the overall growth rate of the economy. Naturally, it's higher, which makes it mathematically inevitable for a few family offices to end up owning everything. (Also from Piketty.) If the risk-free rate was 3% this year and the GDP grew by 2%, your service fee would be 1%.

I was aware of the whole REST is not REST but it was fascinating to read the history behind it.

Could this all be summarized as a typical Yes-In-My-Backyard (YIMBY) philosophy?

- Remove (or greatly reduce) zoning restrictions to permit things like ADUs or re-development of single-family plats

- Enforce rent-control via legal means (which is what your guaranteed market-rate solution sounds like - although I don't understand how this solution would work with your stipulation that it be "impossible for the [government] to demand affordable housing subsidies")

Or is there something different/more that you're envisioning?
Which mass is this referring to? Rest mass, inertial, or a different one?
But I am intellectually curious (perhaps to a fault), and have arrived at this position from a curious place, first principles even. If someone is causing harm, and there are no mechanisms to box them in to not cause harm, what else are you to do besides wait for them to leave (and perhaps take a bit of solace that a harmful person no longer roams amongst us, inflicting harm on others without repercussions)?

Genuine question from a high empathy human. As I said above and to reaffirm my position: It's definitely not "something bad should happen to this person," (not good, I don't support this at all, and have said it nowhere in this thread) but "at least eventually they won't be here to cause the harm they cause." I don't believe that idea to be in poor taste, but I am happy to be challenged on it.

Kissinger comes to mind, picking from an extreme example for argument's sake.

This is an understatement of current state. And yet, we go on. I hope this subthread has helped build context and explain my position with regards to the statement you took issue with (and that I removed out of an abundance of caution), which is not from a place of malice, but more pragmatic resignation.

That's the problem, and the concern.

I've given several concrete examples (both of actual exploitable surface area and more abstract kinds of exploitable surface areas) in this thread already, feel free to refer back to them.

A lot of what you're complaining about as handwavy is just common knowledge. Ask questions if you're interested, but out-of-date OSes are factually insecure in known-unfixable and unknown-unfixable ways.

No, the article discusses how “AI” and other machine learning and algorithmic systems are used in practice - to surveil, dispossess, and harm those in whomever the powerful deem as out groups, and how this is done under the guise of idealist appeals about mass benefit, akin to “curing cancer.”
> No offence, but, I mean, you do not have the authority to decide how another company/person gets to spend their focus

I'm sorry but it's difficult to take this perspective seriously.

It ought to be very obvious that in the context of a Hacker News comment I am not claiming authority to decide what Apple does. I am merely stating that if Apple decided to support third party backup solutions they have more than enough spare money to increase resources rather than, as the OP suggested would be necessary, divert resources away from something else. The OP's "with a given number of resources" qualifier is incorrect because that number isn't actually constant.

The lengths some folks go to on Hacker News to defend Apple absolutely astounds me. They're a multinational corporate, they don't care about any of us here. Stating the simple fact that Apple has the ability to increase their resources is not somehow offensive.
The chips overclock themselves under load but it's unsustainable. Limiting their TDP can allow them to sustain their overclocks longer/indefinitely.
I'd start here: The ASCII for '9' is 0b00111001, a UInt8 9 is 0b00001001 (this was of course deliberate). So (A & 0b11110000) << 4 + (B & 0b11110000) to get the low byte, the high byte is an exercise for the reader, 16 bit jump table to the value, if there's a '-' you invert it.

People don't understand k8s and are thus hating. K8s is a wonderful tool for most things many teams need. It may not be useful for homelab type of stuff as the learning curve is steep, but for professional use it cannot be beat currently. Just a bunch of I know what I'm doing and don't need this complicated thing I don't understand. Pretty simple and especially in a forum such as HN where we all are "experts" and need to explain to ourselves, and crucially others, why we are right not to use k8s. Bunch of children really.
Cheers; I've always difficulty mapping those pprof graphs to actual concrete code and I never managed to get anything more useful out of it.

This is the biggest take-away from this post to be honest; had no idea it could do anything like that. Sometimes it's the little things...

You can get something similar with the CLI using:

go tool pprof -weblist='mypkgname' cpu.out # Generate HTML and open
go tool pprof -list='mypkgname' cpu.out # Generate text to stdout

This is why doing Messiah is going to be such a challenge, even moreso than the first book. 80's SFX almost lend themselves to handling internal monologue BETTER than modern effects, as the idea was just to signal a suspension of disbelief, rather than to go for the hyper-realism that modern effects evoke.

We'll see.
> Even though we know prognosis is much better for cancer, and many other diseases, if you catch it early

This is, to some extent, misleading.

I mean, earlier treatment is beneficial, but there's a significant confound. All else being equal, if a cancer is less aggressive and slowly growing it is more likely to be detected early.

Put in other terms, the cancers detected earlier by screening are a very different population of cancers detected late and with progression.
They do have SSL on the website, but it's optional. But assuming MITM, the only defense against MITM a site owner has is getting preloaded on the HSTS list. Refusing to serve content in HTTP doesn't help, because the MITM can upgrade the request on the backend. Redirecting from HTTP to HTTPS is window dressing.

For a site like this, I might version sniff and send modern browsers to a favicon served over HTTPS with HSTS headers; future accesses will get upgraded to HTTPS (unless the MITM drops these requests), and older browsers don't understand HSTS anyway. But I wouldn't put that favicon on generally, because it's not likely possible to get a certificate older browsers will like, and older browsers like to throw popups when they can't negotiate https on subresoures, which ruins everyone's day.

Older browsers are likely to require SHA1 certificates, and have a more limited selection of CAs. CA/Browser rules prohibit issuing new SHA-1 certificates, so you're pretty much out of luck there. Even if you can get a SHA-1 certificate that older browsers like, you have to also have a certificate that newer browsers like and get your server to distinguish between the two and serve the right certificate. Helpfully, Client Hello does not provide user-agent information, so you have to kind of guess at age of the browser / capability by what version, ciphers, and extensions they suggest. But really, all of that is moot unless you can get a trusted CA to issue a usable cert, which I'm pretty sure you can't.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "an English-speaking human is the client"? It seems to me that if the hypertext response in the example referenced "deposits" in Arabic, Swahili, English, or Japanese, it'd all be the same to the client.

(fta)
> The client knows nothing about the API end points associated with this data, except via URLs and hypermedia controls (links and forms) discoverable within the HTML itself. If the state of the resource changes such that the allowable actions available on that resource change (for example, if the account goes into overdraft) then the HTML response would change to show the new set of actions available.

> The client would render this new HTML, totally unaware of what “overdraft” means or, indeed, even what a bank account is.

So the client doesn't understand what a deposit is, but it doesn't have to. The response provides actions that the client knows how to incorporate and navigate. The alternative being a JSON response that is completely opaque - requiring additional parsing, explicit interpretation, and templating/interpolation, and DOM insertion before it's useful.

A RESTful web client speaks hypertext. JSON-RPC is useful, but is not RESTful in the original sense of the word.
Let's not throw the baby with the bath water. Level 2 REST is a huge step up (over RPC without resources) to have clear interfaces.
As it happens, I did this morning!

Do you have any resources showing what an API client for a "true REST" system would look like? The #1 objection I've seen to REST as Fielding described it is that it seems to basically assume that the human is the API client.

For example, this passage from Fielding:

> A REST API should be entered with no prior knowledge beyond the initial URI (bookmark) and set of standardized media types that are appropriate for the intended audience (i.e., expected to be understood by any client that might use the API). From that point on, all application state transitions must be driven by client selection of server-provided choices that are present in the received representations or implied by the user’s manipulation of those representations.

The idea of a computer application that has no context beyond an entry URL and a media type (text/html) is pretty hard for me and many like me to wrap our heads around. I can't imagine a system being written that doesn't know what the options will be and what shape the data will come in, and once you've hard coded that it's not obvious what you gain by sending URLs instead of IDs.

I'm totally open to there being something I'm missing here, but every explanation of REST I've seen focuses exclusively on the shape of the server response and doesn't explain what an API client is supposed to do with the response and how REST avoids hard-coding client actions.
