There is enough fuel if we are smart about it. Grow trees, process into woodgas, reuse old infrastructure. Add other kinds of biogas into the mix. Use old hydro ponds and rivers too. Geothermal where it's available. Wind generators are trivial to build. Solar thermal energy can give a lot for relatively minimal engineering effort.

And then some time after the apocalypse - nuclear energy. If the knowledge is preserved and security/regulatory standards lowered, the engineering itself is not too complicated. It's likely that some of the old nuclear reactors would survive the apocalypse.
None of which apply to the vast majority of filers.

Nobody is saying filing taxes should never be necessary. Only that it shouldn’t be necessary for most people.

The flow should be… Employer and financial institutions send info to IRS (they mostly do already). Then, in January, IRS sends a “Is this correct?” notice to residents. If correct, no action is needed. If not correct, then make adjustments.
However I disabled all burn in prevention measures because they sligtly moved the image, maybe by a pixel, maybe a fraction of one.

After 3 years of using it as a daily driver there is slight burn on from windows ui elements and the game I played a lot.

I noticed it only after I did a burn in check, completely unnoticeable during usage.
HN is pretty usuable, except maybe for some of the small touch surfaces.
It wouldn't be too hard, you'd need a model for baseline improvement which should be obtainable by those who do improve slowly and incrementally.

Instead of using a probability density field on the final submissions I would use one based on the likelihood of a person getting to that point within the time they took ~ skill * time.

You could ask on submission if it's a worked solution so then you're only looking for false submissions, but since there is no prize for getting a high score there would be little incentive to lie. Those using worked submissions marked as their own for their own ego would have an unusual submission pattern.

There are many layout options for the same algorithms and it's likely that a rough percentage of worked solutions could be obtained where a specific layout appears much more often than it should.

Worked submissions are also much more likely to be final submissions.

Not sure if I remember correctly, but maybe you need to give a solution before progressing. I would make it possible to progress without giving a solution to take away that incentive.
I'm not sure this is appealing to wallstreet at all but this just describes the appeal of open source as a customer to me. VMware is a just perfect case example, they're literally firing paying customers and destroying a product lots of people are using to make a quick buck. The company and the product will ultimately be destroyed regardless of their underlying value but not before they make bank.

But if Vmware was open source they never would have bought it. The leverage being closed provides is the whole point.

There’s a blog post from this year that states how this isn’t an issue: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20240213-00/?p=10...
> It really is a solved problem.

<chuckle>

"Vast swaths of the United States are at risk of running short of power as electricity-hungry data centers and clean-technology factories proliferate around the country, leaving utilities and regulators grasping for credible plans to expand the nation’s creaking power grid."

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/03/07/ai-data-c...

"Energy experts and analysts have warned for years now that America’s power grid will not be able to accommodate the explosive growth in electricity demand it faces without a huge increase in generation capacity."

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/comment/2024/03/11/green-ener...

"The U.S. electric grid is often described as a vast, synchronized machine — a network of wires carrying electricity from power plants across the country into our homes [...] in reality, there is no single U.S. grid. There are three — one in the West, one in the East and one in Texas — that only connect at a few points and share little power between them. Those grids are further divided into a patchwork of operators with competing interests. That makes it hard to build the long-distance power lines needed to transport wind and solar nationwide."

"Many spots with the best sun and wind are far from cities and the existing grid. To make the plan work, the nation would need thousands of miles of new high-voltage transmission lines — large power lines that would span multiple grid regions."

As an emacs fan, I consider emacs bindings awful, so I wouldn't recommend learning emacs style navigation.

And as other people mentioned, the big part of emacs is on the extensibility of the system itself, everything is manageable by the lisp engine as emacs is the lisp engine more than a simple editor.

So my recommendation to learn emacs in a fun way is to install evil, open a buffer, bind `eval-buffer` and `eval-last-sexp` to something you feel comfortable, and write your own game to learn what emacs can do.
Hubris is not an academic exercise: it runs at the heart of every element of the Oxide rack (compute sled, switch, power shelf controller) -- and its design is informed by delivered utility above all else. Indeed -- and as Cliff elaborated in the blog -- REPLY_FAULT was something that he thought initially perhaps too aggressive, but it was our own experience in building, deploying, and (it must be said!) debugging the system that gave him the confidence that it would make our systems more robust, not capriciously faulty.

For more details on the thinking here and what it looks like in practice, see (e.g.) [0] and [1].

I'm a little tired of hearing excuses for medical professionals. Too many real issues are dismissed out of hand, and it's wrong.
Yes, most people don't comply with the law in this regard.

Which tells you volumes about the practicality of said law.
huh? Do not see anything asynchronous in author's work. It's all synchronous, because IPCs in hubris are synchronous too.
> It's a sad truism that as a man, reaching out to people rarely works and is more likely to result in further isolation.

In my experience, the only men I've gotten any kind of positive support from are men with daughters. Not all men with daughters, of course. The rest just minimize my feelings, give bad advice that doesn't work for my situation, blame me for having stupid feelings, or just shut down and change the subject. So I tend to only reach out to other women for support. And when a man reaches out to me for support, I'm gonna try to help him, but if he hasn't been there for me when I tried to lean on him? That's free lunch, and I have a limited budget.

It's a chicken-and-egg problem. You guys need to learn how to listen. Do that, and there will be more support available when you need it.

So I'll add one to your try-next-time list: go out and help people. Volunteer in a soup kitchen or something. I do tend to wallow a bit when I'm depressed, and doing something selfless breaks me out of that mindset for at least the duration of the act.
Joe Consumer doesn't know a lot of things. That doesn't mean the government should allow them.
really cool... amazing that you can get playing immediately

controls could use some work. i'd rather move with wasd, turn around with the mouse and attack with the mouse too because it's a first-person camera...

or make A and D turn-and-move in that direction with some other input for strafing which seems less useful than turning. and in any event, attacking with something like j, k or l is probably more intuitive (to me)
I miss the bindings, too, when using applications that don't support them. In those situations (and other situations beyond simple key assignment), I reach for the extensibility to modify the system...and find nothing that compares.

I'm curious, what do you like about the Emacs key bindings? Is it the GNU system integration, like with Bash?

At some level the keybindings are arbitrary. Some were designated before the contemporary keyboard existed. Of course, they may fit you better just because and that's great.
It's not a different algorithm, but a different content pool to comply with censorship requirements. But the dynamics are very much the same, even if the 擦边女 are slightly less scantily clad.

It's just clear you're not interested in AR/VR so your criticism of AVP carries less weight. Nothing would satisfy you. If you actually held an examined one of those you would know how incredibly tiny it is.
Reminds me of Planetes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetes).
The vast majority of working adults have to file a W-4, receive paystubs that shw exactly how much they're withholding for state and federal taxes, and get a W-2 every year with the totals. The 1099 is just busywork that doesn't give the taxpayer any extra information. I fail to see how prefilled forms would fail to alert taxpayers to the amount of taxes they pay.
and even a correct hardware specification could have an implementation bug...
What do you mean by systems not having the capacity? Are there any many problems on the state side?

I'm new to the issue so I assume it is 99% individuals failing to respond
The comparison doesn't make any sense, SMS and iMessage are not the same thing. It's incredible how many people bring it up in the comments here...
Wow. Please do a show HN.

OTOH, he consistently nails it.

His "enshittification" observation—i.e. his primary thesis WRT what's wrong with Tech—resonates as objectively true, and I've yet to see anyone offer a compelling counter.
Yes, because the laws that get passed apply to them.
FICA taxes aren't regressive.
Yes, we have an in situ dump facility, which Cliff mentioned at the end of [0]; it's been essential for debugging these issues when we hit them.

Perhaps, but even with an arbitrarily good training set, the LLM would still be constrained by it's own architectural limits. e.g. If a problem can't be broken down into sub-problems that each require <= N sequential steps, then an N-layer transformer will never be able to solve it.

Even if the architectural shortcomings were all fixed, it seems "[pre-training] data is all you need" would still be false, because there is no getting around the need for personal experience, for the same reasons that is true for us...

Perhaps most fundamentally, any action/prediction you make can only based on the content of your own mind, not the mind of a tutor you are trying to copy. Even if the tutor diligently tries to communicate all nuances and contingencies of a skill to you, those are still all relative to his/her own internal world model, not the one in your head. You will need to practice and correct to adapt the instructions to yourself.
Where's Adria the Witch. I have a wand to recharge
I'm just about to retire my last of 3 T410s (its hinge is broken and it tends to freeze from overheating. I replaced the cpu fan on it 2 years ago). I tried all sorts of drivers. Some just don't work. Some work for like 10 minutes and stop working. Windows 11. Maybe there is some magical driver somewhere. Are you guessing or do you have a T410 with Windows 11 and you use the webcam regularly?

Yeah, I saw the Apple ID thread today. I thought Apple ID was optional. (e.g. I don't have an Apple ID for the MBP I'm using right now).

The article you linked to says: "My M2 Air had great speakers." It's the Mac Mini (not a laptop) that has poor speakers. Can't comment on that one.

EDIT: A by the way there is that I believe a T410 can actually have different components, i.e. some might have a camera from one vendor while others have a camera from another.
No it's not. At a very conservative estimate, solar produces >10 more net energy per acre than corn used for ethanol. If anything this will free up farmland to be MORE productive.
JAX kind of did take this route, no? The main issue is that it’s going to be hard/impossible to compile Python loops to GPU kernels. It’s also maybe not the most ergonomic solution, which is why there is shorthand like einsum. Einsum can be much more clear than a loop because what it can do is so much more limited.
But the laws that get passed apply to politicians also.
Apple support is useless. My partner lost her phone with AppleCare loss & damage coverage. She hadn't synced to iCloud in quite a while, so she delayed reporting it lost/stolen (as that flow wipes the phone). After ~4 months she gave up on finding it, and reported it stolen.

This started a Kafkaesque process where the Apple site for reporting your phone lost and initiating a claim with AIG failed to work because the phone had been lost for more than 3 months. Support was useless, they pointed the finger at AIG. AIG pointed the finger right back. Several escalations further and 6 months later, we still have no replacement phone.

I'll never, ever get Applecare again.
You can use libtorch directly via `tch-rs`, and at present I'm porting over to Burn (see https://burn.dev) which appears incredibly promising. My impression is it's in a good place, if of course not close to the ecosystem of Python/C++. At very least I've gotten my nn models training and running without too much difficulty. (I'm moving to Burn for the thread safety - their `Tensor` impl is `Sync` - libtorch doesn't have such a guarantee.)

Burn has Candle as one of its backends, which I understand is also quite popular.
It says "Oral History". Is there an audio recording? The Computer History Museum has recordings for other people. I can't find one for this.
>What made the PC era work as well as it did was a strong base of power users

No, power users rarely influenced mainstream adoption of any tech. Apple and the rest didn't become trillion dolar corps by catering to power users. Power users are niche and very picky market not worth catering to if you want to make it big.

What made the "WIntel/IBM" PC gain majority mainstream market share was that is was all open(not to be confused with open source) which allowed everyone, not just power users, but regular users too, and also any HW vendor and SW developer to decide what HW and SW they can develop and sell to users, and what users can install on their system, without the consent or added 30% tax from the original vendor or manufacturer of the system.

It was basically an open bazaar and a cost race to the bottom, where the free market decided the winners and losers based on consumer preference, but there was no global authority to say "I'm not gonna allow your SW/HW to run on the platform we developed". Microsoft or Intel couldn't gatekeep what you installed or ran on the Intel/Windows platform.

Sure, the PC platform had it's own set of issues due to overabundance of cheap low quality HW/SW that caused poor UX, and anti-trust issues from the Windows and Intel monopolies, but it was overall a net benefit due to the open playing field. Can you imagine 3dfx, ATI and Nvidia GPUs not being allowed to run on the PC platform because Intel had a closed PCI standard that only worked with their own GPUs?

Your income is not considered private information.

One can argue whether this is desirable, but there's basically no way to enforce income taxes if the government is not aware of how much people earn.
Where I live, an administrator can decide that there is insufficient evidence that a property is not historic to permit unrestricted changes.
Why is it done this way? Capitalism bby!

If you can make a market out of it, someone will.
Nor do I, just saying "idiotic" is the wrong pejorative here. He's doing what he's being paid to do and doing it competently and successfully.
Well, in many professions unions demand that you only hire unionized workers. Hire one person person who is not a member, and the union workers will go on strike. Sometimes it even get's codified into the law, that you have to consult unions on everything.

Depending on your location, there are places where you can't not find iron. Recycle! Civilization might be lost but all that processed and purified iron didn't disappear, it's just hiding under some dirt.
Many parts of tensorflow required Python- at least when I worked there a few years ago, it was nearly impossible to compile XLA into a saved model and execute it from pure C++ code.
The point is the first comment is stupid and therefore only deserves ridicule. That anyone thinks their view of necessity has any relevance to any argument in a free market is absurd. The whole point of a free market is that any one person is too dumb to decide any of this stuff for the group and instead we let many people offer what they think is best and let the repeated game of the market allocate resources to people that provide what is actually wanted.

The commenter is reading an article on the failure of regulation (regulating organic in such a way that as soon as any non approved treatment is used the animal cannot produce organic milk anymore, dropping the value of the cows output to a small fraction of what it was and heavily incentivizing waiting and seeing rather than minimizing harm through effective and early treatment) into a claim they know none of us should have meat when they are clearly unqualified to make that claim because they can't even read the article posted and see the regulatory failure, they just see more justification for their harebrained anti meat agenda.

Also, your last statement is not true, if you spend the time to find a good farmer. The cows I have eaten for the last ten years have been raised in the Joel salatin style, regenerating the degraded prairie the farm bought for cheap, harming very few insects,small mammals, birds, etc (in reality they are building a space that supports a much higher population of all of those), likely sequestering more carbon in the soil than they emit all for not much more than the factory farmed crap you buy at the big box store. One cow lasts almost a year for me. Contrast that with all the insects killed by pesticides, all the small animals and birds killed by farm equipment, etc. that goes into raising grains, vegetables and fruits to feed an equivalent amount of people over time. Vegans/vegetarians are mass murderers in comparison if you value more than the fuzzy large mammals and instead take a whole earth view.

I agree with you on those ideas.

Sustainability is a huge issue and bounties could help.

I think a lot of Rich Hickey's complaints were due to stress from dealing with entitled community members with little support from individuals and corporate users.

People can be relentless in their demands and project maintainers and contributers only have so much time and energy. Paying them could help somewhat in terms of motivation and resources.

This new model is interesting, but seems a bit like "magical thinking" project management born from frustration about how some open source maintainers run their projects.

It assumes that all pull requests are worth pulling, thus "time-based auto merges". It assumes that anyone who wants to should be able to contribute should be able to. While that sounds good superficially, in can lead to situations like the xz utils backdoor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XZ_Utils_backdoor).
I tend to roll my own with rp-picos for no good reason other than they're easy.

1) Wattmeter for a toy solar installation - broadcasts a UDP packet every few seconds, which I then record into a staging JSON log that gets ingested into DuckDB.

2) Little pico-w wifi temperature sensor that feeds into the raspberry pi zero that controls my boiler.

Thread about the boiler: https://hachyderm.io/deck/@dave_andersen/111579107766689328

github with some really crappy rust code: https://github.com/dave-andersen/boiler

The boiler control is the fun one but it's not entirely embedded stuff. Runs a little control loop that turns down the boiler modulation based upon the difference between target and current temperature. Improves operating efficiency by a fair bit and reduces temperature swings. Makes me wish residential HVAC systems were more sophisticated - these are things any good industrial control system can do.

3) Made an "ok to wake" light for my son -- added a controllable LED strip to his clock with a pico-w in it that changes from orange to multicolored at 6:30am as a non-intrusive "yes, you can come bug your parents" signal.)

If you'd like a nice, logically complete diagrams language for Einstein summation, consider this:

scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=7%2C39&q=trace+"string+diagrams"+"Einstein+summation"&btnG=#d=gs_qabs&t=1714249856116&u=%23p%3Dbw0D4te4FGEJ

This article would have been better if the author had generated these kinds of diagrams, to show us what tensors the code was summing, and how. They could have easily used GPT to write the diagrammatic TiKz code, like they did for the fantasy style introduction.

But the diagrams would have illuminated the math, like real magic, while the fantasy writing didn't do any real magic because it only obfuscated the math. GPT does this when you don't give it the context to really explain things.
I think they changed it recently to offer a QR code because checking now it's offering it. But I absolutely had the issue for the first few months of the year.
On top of all the other examples, Hayazashi Nidan Morita Shogi 2 was a cancelled SNES games from 1995 that was going to us a 21MHz ARMv3 processor for AI. I just like the idea that they would throw in a processor that was probably about 5-10 times the power of the main system CPU.

That a very similar spec ARM processor would become the brain of the Gameboy advance many years later.
