Still true even for bigger brands like Shell or BP. They usually have two numbers on their price display, one is often about 5 cents higher than the other per gallon (guess which is credit/cash). It's interesting that the number for credit is usually way larger than the number for cash, implying most people use credit cards.

Nobody is disputing 100 tons to moon capability is worth investing in. The plan though is to use starship for the first manned landing. Even that would be way less insane if you could get away with just parking an expendable starship in orbit around the moon, or deorbiting it or something and get away with fewer refuelings for the first landing. But that's not the plan.

I see this take often, but I don't buy it. Mixtapes and playlists are quintessential gifts of affection based on art that the giver did not make and by artists the receiver often does not know. Just the same lots of people hang costco paintings on their walls by anonymous sweatshop workers and kids love cool posters about whatever interests them with no regard to who made them. I believe consumers are likely to enjoy lots of this generated art.
Yeah I've always found this one out of place when listed among other big classic sci fi books. It's tonally very different, slowly paced, focused on different concerns than is typical for the books it is usually grouped with. It's a great book in its own right but not a great introduction to her for people coming from or looking for sci fi.

NVLink advertises combined bandwidth in both direction, so the 1800 GBps NVLink on Blackwell is actually 900 GBps for everyone else. PCIe can also do multi-node direct transfer via PCIe switches and has been already widely adopted. NVLink still has the power and chip arena advantage even if the bandwidth is similar.
There’s 6.1 million police reported vehicle accidents in the US each year with most involving more than 1 vehicles. Average to say 1 car for 1.5 weeks for 6 million accidents which then cluster around snowstorms etc and you easily need 200,000+ rental cars just for that purpose.

But let’s take your use case, how many of those involved driving more than 300 miles per day? Or even total?
> The poor sucker that rented the Tesla was told it would get "270 miles of range". When he left the charger it said he had over 200 miles to go. But reality sinks in, and at some point in the journey, if they get even slightly distracted, they will find themselves 50 miles from the charger with 30 miles left.

And the reason gasoline took off as a fuel was because it was frequently used as a degreaser before we decided to burn it instead, so you could buy it in tins from the blacksmith in whatever town you found yourself stranded in. There's nothing analogous to that for EVs.

Feed in calcium carbonate, heat it up and sequester the CO2, and use the hot calcium oxide once then ship it off to the cement plant.

Or, how about taking an existing cement plant and have it use the air heat-exchanger/turbine/generator setup described in this project to recover the energy in the red-hot clinker? I assume they'd have some sort of heat exchanger system already to preheat feedstock using the outflow, however?

That's exactly how I feel. Not to mention that I am always looking for how to monitor the system, and there is no uniform standard, if it is possible to monitor at all. As if there is a hidden message that apart from monitoring how much disk space is left or CPU everything else is irrelevant. But for such VMs that share many processes, it is exactly the opposite! I must know when there is a problem who exactly is responsible!
Quality isn’t the only factor though. Music made by people has copyright which means grocery stores and coffee shops have to pay a license fee.

There’s certainly a point where this synthetic music gets good enough to replace the elevator music Muzak crap that they have to pay $2000 to license.
> My comment to people about teslas is that they will be disappointed if they try to drive it like an ICE car

That kinda...tells the story of the article doesn't it? It's a pretty terrible rental experience if people will be disappointed if they try to drive it like the cars they're used to.
Something about license and if it's open source would be great. Although the license is more about "can i use it in a commercial product".

That being said, thank you, really nice work!
I only see it for diesel in my area, and the fee is probably worth it for truckers as opposed to carrying cash.
I got started in coding via roblox, when i was below 18, but we had groups of people of our similar age collaborating together and forming game studios. We did commissions as well which were paid.

Cool, congrats. How much did y'all get?
Fortunately the options aren't merely some form of marxist communism or capitalism! There are whole branches of (anarchist/federalist) socialism that actually predicted what would happen in the Soviet Union while Marx was still alive and writing and had very different plans themselves (Bakunin and Proudhon), and there were also distinct forms of socialism that predated Marxism, and forms that came after it, so even if we were to restrict ourselves to socialist schools of thought that have existed for round about 200 years (a very narrow slice of economic systems), there are a lot more options to try than "bureaucratic oligarchy, with a top down centrally planned economy and a fundamentally authoritarian ideology" and "a system designed to give some power over others via absentee property ownership, and facilitate the concentration of that power through the concentration of property due to the right of increase and profit."

That's a helpful distinction. Another to add to that is that both classes of E(e)mbedded system are designed to be used with a single application (i.e. the user isn't running arbitrary software).
So if this type of technology results in less civilian casualties this is a good thing right?

Driving 100 miles in an EV isn’t even close to needing a recharge. The UK is covered in chargers and 3 hours is again fine on a single charge for any decent EV. So what exactly is your concern here?
Show HN: Detonator2D a 2D game engine and editor
Hello Hacker News,

Ever since I was a kid and I had my Atari ST with me I wanted to create some games for it. Unfortunately nobody in my family was able to help me out and I never pursued that dream any further...

Years later I was working on a tiny educational game to help me learn (memorize) some Chinese language characters. That initially tiny project grew and grew and ultimately it started turning into something larger.

Now years later that little infotainment game is gone and what stands in its place is a complete 2D game engine and editor.

Something I've been hammering away nearly half a decade now.

I guess I'm now doing what I wanted to do as a kid although It feels like I'm spending more time writing the tools rather than the games.

That being said, I present to you: DETONATOR 2D.
A 2D game engine and editor for Linux and Windows.

The project is still not obviously finished and there's a lot of features that I'm still wanting to get in. That being said the scope is clear, simple single player 2D games.

Even though this is a "hobby" project I'm rather serious about it and the development is as pro and product oriented as possible. I'm realistic enough to know that pushing a new engine is very hard these days since the market is super saturated but I think it's still possible to find some use beyond my own.

Anyway, more details in the GitHub, check it out and happy to have any feedback, suggestions or comments.
What would you make?
And that's just one book . That one book did find its audience, that's for sure! No contest there! That makes it tempting to judge her entire work through that lens. And that one book is as prominent as The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress: one title that comes up again and again to illustrate political thought / utopias / distopias. By contrast, the Earthsea cycle ended up with 6 books and a few short stories. And Always Coming Home was a massive project.
Eh, on both boards the 2nd PCIe x16 slot only has 4 PCIe lanes - physically its an x16 slot and you can put x16 devices in it, but they will only be able to talk x4 speeds.

> In order to speed up target elimination, soldiers have been ordered to treat Lavender-generated targets as an order, rather than something to be independently checked, the investigation found. Soldiers in charge of manually checking targets spent only seconds on each person, sources said, merely to make sure the target was a man. Children are also considered legitimate targets by Lavender.

> Palestinians marked by Lavender were specifically targeted to be killed at their homes, meaning that they are often killed along with their families and any neighbors that may reside in the same building, in a system known as “Where’s Daddy?”. The number of “collateral” casualties has fluctuated since October 7 but has ranged from five at the lower end to as many as hundreds for even low-level assumed militants, the report found.

> By contrast, the report cited an interview with a U.S. general who made intelligence decisions during the Iraq war who said that, even for a high-level target like Osama Bin Laden, the number of “acceptable” collateral targets would have been 30 at most, while the typical number for low-level commanders was zero.

> The AI made automated calculations of how many collateral deaths would occur with each strike, but one source said there was “no connection” between the calculations versus reality. Often, homes were bombed when the supposed officer wasn’t even inside.

> “The only question was, is it possible to attack the building in terms of collateral damage? Because we usually carried out the attacks with dumb bombs, and that meant literally destroying the whole house on top of its occupants,” one source, identified as C., told +972 and Local Call. “But even if an attack is averted, you don’t care — you immediately move on to the next target. Because of the system, the targets never end. You have another 36,000 waiting.”

> The report says that IDF officers have essentially been allowed or instructed to attack without judgment, as a response to “hysteria in the professional ranks” after October 7.

> They failed because of the basic economics of EV rentals: maintenance costs and depreciation

That sounds like a Tesla problem, not an EV problem.

There's no particular need for body work on an EV to be particularly expensive, and the depreciation issue is from Tesla changing their new prices.
> Homeless people are often experiencing chronic, severe mental health issues and should be put into a psych ward that helps them regain control of their lives.

Can't you see you are denying agency to a whole population because they live in a way you don't agree with? And keep them like that until they do?

I know homelessness takes a huge toll on mental health, but to incarcerate homeless people until they are "cured" without focusing on the causes for the mental health problems some experience is just that: taking them off the streets to somewhere people aren't forced to acknowledge they exist.
You can keep them separate with Docker. I'm not sure what the workflow looks like, however: you make a simple image with just (say) alpine + apache, you run a shell there, set everything up, and when it works you basically try to replicate all the things you did manually in the Dockerfile? So in the end, you have to do everything twice?
I don't know why you ask, because it doesn't: the result is more civilian casualties, with less review and accountability.

The system was designed to unprecedently increase civilian casualties:

> Palestinians marked by Lavender were specifically targeted to be killed at their homes, meaning that they are often killed along with their families and any neighbors that may reside in the same building, in a system known as “Where’s Daddy?”. The number of “collateral” casualties has fluctuated since October 7 but has ranged from five at the lower end to as many as hundreds for even low-level assumed militants, the report found.

* <asian-language> versions of 80's new wave songs

and they came out so lovely compared to what I'd be capable of as a musician, but puts me in the role of a "producer" of sorts tuning the sound and vibe. Really well worth the money.

Imagine being in a remote area.. you hit a deer after slowing down.. and now you're trapped at night? You're in death valley offroading a little too enthusiastically, airbags deploy and now you're stuck? A small fender bender in Baja Mexico and you're disabled?

I once rolled a vehicle in Nevada being stupid with friends. Airbags deployed. The radiator was crushed and leaking. We strapped the radiator support to another vehicle and bent it back out. Took the other vehicle into town and bought a radiator at AutoZone. Installed it and drove it an hour home. The steering wheel was only slightly off center.

"Christian anarchist" seems like a contradiction in terms. "God" is the ultimate coercive authority and the Church the ultimate hierarchy, and most of the evils of government have been done in the name of both.
Sure, this is the premise behind the entire current economic system. I'm asking what if that is not possible? What would a society that is by brute necessity based on voluntary cooperation look?
Had some friends (one friend and a friend of that friend really) who went east to west around then. We thought they were crazy for fighting the prevailing winds and the escalating terrain.

They went to Alaska, had some fun times with Canadian customs for not following directions. And they thought they took an excess of spare inner tubes and made it about halfway before needing to buy more.

The "6 GHz" band is an unlicensed frequency for very-low power (VLP) devices in the US.

Specific bands are: "U–NII–5 (5.925–6.425 MHz) and U–NII–7 (6.525–6.875 MHz)".

VLP is defined as those devices which "operate at up to −5 dBm/MHz power spectral density (PSD) and 14 dBm EIRP".

Sure but the problem is that Solaris/AIX will be very slow to actually install it, so you can't count on it being there, and those distros DO influence things like autoconf and configure scripts. And people who run them pay big money contracts to get those distros supported (one bank contract for support is worth much more than 10,000 linux users who don't pay anyone a dime). The inertia is very real, bigger than you even think, and you can't wave it off by suggesting they don't influence computing.

At any rate, you need to actually accomplish everyone on Linux and BSD having that available and having used it for the past 10 years first. And get the core distros switching over to using it so that the glue code in the distro is all YSH plus probably python and some legacy sh. Actually show me that.

And yeah, I think the analogy of trying to change English to Esperanto is about right. I learned about Esperanto in the mid-80s...

What does this even mean? I both want and need as much range as possible when I'm driving my rental car. I don't care about long-term battery degredation.
The other disadvantage to the customer who gets that extra 0.5% is that they know they're profiting off the misery of those worse off than them, that they enjoy rewards while those with low credit scores, struggling to feed their family, face 1.5% higher prices.

I would hope the tarnish on your immortal soul and realization that you're profiting directly off other's misery would be a bigger downside.
This is such a deeply ingrained part of Anglosphere social media culture that the GP didn't even have to take capitalism in name, but all of us know exactly what fight is being started and what position the GP is taking. I don't think anyone has stopped imagining alternate socioeconomic systems. The problem is that the people that like to discuss this on the internet just want to argue large, abstract ideas instead of the actual details of life under an alternate system. Le Guin herself did a lot of the latter in The Dispossessed. Her book wasn't a flamewar on Capitalism/Communism Bad (TM).
Very much my thoughts exactly.
Setting aside the merits of your argument, you could have presented it without the snark.
It's been a while since I read him, but I believe Tolstoy, like Jesus (or for that matter, Brian), was pretty anti-Church. I mentioned him specifically because his justification for anarchism was all the love & peace & everything in common (or at least eye of the needle?) hippy biblical stuff.

The Buddha was also anti-Church, I believe. (and St. Francis was fonder of animals than his fellow clerics?)

There's an excellent conceit in Clans of the Alphane Moon (1964) in which the diagnosable mental disorders have their corresponding roles in society: the paranoid form the military, the narcissists the political class, etc. Hebephrenics provide their religious prophets.

> Fraud costs are borne by merchants and to some extent processors, but not the issuer banks that receive the interchange fee.

Merchant fraud and merchant credit risk is borne by acquirers (although, if they went under the issuing baking is ultimately on the hook). But fraud by the cardholder and cardholder credit risk is borne by the issuer.
Hertz also had absurd policies like bring the EV back 100% charged. Which is basically impossible unless there is a DC fast charger adjacent to the rental car center.
Rewards programs are stupid for consumers. They cause higher prices for everyone (even for the rewards recipients). I am fine with merchants keeping the profit, because for most categories of products that I buy there are working markets and every % of profit is turned to lower prices in the end.
