Why is this an argument specifically against systemd, rather than all large software projects?

Linux kernel, gcc, glibc - all bundle "a large amount of functionality under a single system" - does this make their design fundamentally flawed as well?
I have a pet theory that bots and AI generated content are constantly being posted to a couple subreddits (AITAH, AskReddit, etc.) where the general theme of the post is basically cheating and/or open relationships. These posts garner a lot of strong opinions and ultimately end up on the front page. Much like the OP here, the content and discussion always seems so recycled.

Good examples from the front page just now include https://old.reddit.com/r/AITAH/comments/1cgmfrt/aitah_for_ma... and https://old.reddit.com/r/AITAH/comments/1cg4c7n/aitah_for_ge...
>> I really hope he doesn’t wreck spaceX too.

I think SpaceX is one disaster away from suffering the same fate, to be honest. Like, if the next Starship doesn't make it as far as the previous attempt (for example, if it blows up on the way up), Elon is going to come in like a wrecking ball.

The pressure on the SpaceX team must be immense.
> how come reusable rockets is not a "wild bullshit idea"?

I don't understand the question. Could it be the fact that a Falcon 9 just landed after its 20th trip to space? Seems pretty reusable to me.

> How come people who hired bunch of grannies to knit a nav computer memory got to moon without loosing a single rocket.

Apollo 1 wasn't the whole rocket, but I'd say the three astronauts who died were worth more than that.
How many astronauts has SpaceX lost? ETA: Not one of those first stages returned to earth intact, so in that sense, all the rockets that launched were lost. ETAA: Apollo 1 wasn't on a Saturn V, so my initial response doesn't really follow.
Imo, they still have a lot of potential - they just need to remove Musk and bring an adult to the room.

Sadly, most of the ownership appears to be Musk and closely affiliated funds, but those funds could be enticed to vote him out if enough money is lost.
This has been happening for years. My theory is the actors running the bots are instructing their bots to use old popular threads as a blueprint to get a bunch of upvotes across all of their accounts at once. The idea being that clearly Reddit users liked the original posts and comments in the past, so the users will upvote it again. Then they sell the accounts to bad actors who are interested in purchasing accounts with real looking post histories.
The article lays the blame at battery production, and servicing rollout. Both of which seem solveable. Sure would be nice to have a datapoint around how many batteries they need vs how many they are producing.

I don't think it's likely. The real migration has been and will continue to be towards Discord servers and similar "smallish" live chat-based communities on centralized services.

Imagine if practically all the writing you encountered was in printed books and magazines. Talk about "personal writing", how it might change things, how to get there, would get back puzzled looks and "Even if it's possible, it's still a lot of work.

Recently I tried hosting a static website on AWS with a catch: it should only be reachable from certain countries but remain reachable for the Google crawler. The original solution was working and simple and consisted of a python script that built a list ip adresses and a deny all statement in an .htaccess file.

Same setup on AWS: Identity center, AWS Organizations, SCPs, cloudtrail, cloudwatch, cloudfront and s3 with half a dozen Policies. The only tool available with fine grained IP Access restrictions is WAF which costs alone almost 10x what one would pay with the hoster.

The critical part of this article is this:

"But in June 2023, Musk said at an energy conference that "there just weren't enough batteries" for Tesla to reach "volume production" of the truck."

It looks like battery production is the major constraint on Teslas endeavours. Someone at Tesla clearly did the math on ROI-per-cell and decided that Semis just don't pay as well as Cybertrucks or Powerwalls. That's why they're starving the Semi operation until they can spin up more battery production.

I saved 85% AI cost for my company by using Discord AI chatbot

I let my company (40 members) used it in a month, only costed $30 (compare to $200 with 10 ChatGPT accounts/month as before, and no teamwork).
I’m starting to suspect Reddit is becoming human-RAG for Gemini. On the backend Gemini forms questions of what people want from it, and it posts backwards to Reddit to train on rated answers.

All Musk weirdness aside - SpaceX revolutionized the launch business for the planet, and for quite some time already, so it makes sense to watch what they're doing. Results tend to follow, even though many are delayed - but delayed only in comparison to announcements, not to how it's done elsewhere.

That's why electric Semis are heavily subsidized by the IRA - in order to incentivize the economies of scale needed to spur innovation in the space.

It's a similar move to the PEV industry and Obama's, California's, and Texas' subsidies for it in the 2008-12 period establishing that market in North America.

Kind of like guessing a passcode to a lock. You still try all the combinations, but there are no intermediate steps - you either guess it all at once, or not at all.

If we see a bunch of locks opened by someone who couldn't have had the code, it doesn't mean they had a method to open. They could've just spent a lot of time guessing.

He's personally very wealthy, seems to have some mental issues, and has admitted to having a ketamine habit (although he also claims it's good for share prices). That's a combination that would make pretty much anyone struggle with attachment to reality.

The takeaway for me is that as a fundraiser and hype man, before he ruined his reputation, he was pretty successful, but in all other ways he's a massive self-promoting hack.

Cold-(Brew) Outreach: Landing my first big client at a coffee shop
Hey HN!

Just wanted to share a milestone for my startup. I've been working on creating an open source SQL+Python notebook that you can share as an app. For those of you who are familiar it's basically an OS hex.tech competitor (check out our gh here if you're interested: https://github.com/Zero-True/zero-true). We recently got to the point where we felt like we could sell the product and platform and I closed my first "big" deal. I feel that this story is quite common in the startup world but I never expected I would meet my first client in a coffee shop.

We've been at it for a while because we felt that there was a real gap in the way that people communicate data insights in both large enterprises and small teams, but we are always happy to hear any all feedback. Let me know what you think and if you're interested in trying out the product or simply connecting!
The craziest thing about Tesla is that people still believe what musk says.

I agree it makes sense that battery production is the limiting factor, but my ability to trust what Musk says is close to zero.
Not a public one, because they want to have the freedom to change how it works. But if you type in `EXPLAIN CREATE TABLE x(y);` or `EXPLAIN SELECT 3;` or whatever into `sqlite3`, you can see it. And it's reasonably straightforward to dig into the source code (SQLite is very well-written C) to hook that up yourself if you really wanted to.
They don't sell their account to bad actors much anymore, instead they sell services. Want this product or that news story or this ... To have lots of comments and upvote from tens of account. If you search a little you can easily find those shops, they sell for every social media out there and you pay per "thousands of likes" or stuff like that.

They used to be based on super low paid human, then it was bot train the account up then humans use it when it's cooked, and I guess we're now entering the bot from top to bottom era.
Those Discord servers, even if hosted by centralized company are community run forums. You can set "your" server to be invite only so you can filter who gets in.

> Would my current company have an IP claim on my project if I use it at work?

Not because of that, no. However -- depending on the terms of your employment -- your contract may have one of those nasty clauses that give them IP rights to anything you develop during your employment. If that's the case, they may have a claim based on that and that claim would apply whether or not the software was used at work. Those clauses are the first things I look for and negotiate away when getting hired.

My advice is to talk to an attorney about all this. A short consultation shouldn't cost a fortune.
Why 'Deemed Forest' Tag for Rajasthan's Orans May Not Save Them
The time is right if you properly price the cost of diesel truck emissions. Certainly, you can always kick the can into the future if you're not willing to pay true costs and dump the externalities on everyone else. Current cost of CO2 is ~$185/ton emitted.

> The social cost of carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) measures the monetized value of the damages to society caused by an incremental metric tonne of CO2 emissions and is a key metric informing climate policy. Used by governments and other decision-makers in benefit–cost analysis for over a decade, SC-CO2 estimates draw on climate science, economics, demography and other disciplines. However, a 2017 report by the US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine1 (NASEM) highlighted that current SC-CO2 estimates no longer reflect the latest research. The report provided a series of recommendations for improving the scientific basis, transparency and uncertainty characterization of SC-CO2 estimates. Here we show that improved probabilistic socioeconomic projections, climate models, damage functions, and discounting methods that collectively reflect theoretically consistent valuation of risk, substantially increase estimates of the SC-CO2. Our preferred mean SC-CO2 estimate is $185 per tonne of CO2 ($44–$413 per tCO2: 5%–95% range, 2020 US dollars) at a near-term risk-free discount rate of 2%, a value 3.6 times higher than the US government’s current value of $51 per tCO2. Our estimates incorporate updated scientific understanding throughout all components of SC-CO2 estimation in the new open-source Greenhouse Gas Impact Value Estimator (GIVE) model, in a manner fully responsive to the near-term NASEM recommendations. Our higher SC-CO2 values, compared with estimates currently used in policy evaluation, substantially increase the estimated benefits of greenhouse gas mitigation and thereby increase the expected net benefits of more stringent climate policies.

It varies of course. The good one is a recent build of 10x 150kW. Older deployments were 2x 120kW, 1x 50kW, and 4x 11kW AC.

I've had EVs since 2019, and in the meantime the infrastructure in the UK went from one broken charger per city, to every McDonald drive thru having a DC charger. In the western EU it's even better with a good 300kW charger coverage along all highways.

150kW * 10/60 = 25kWh. That's 80mi at 3.1mi/kWh.

Charging used to be dirt cheap before the Russian invasion. Rapid charging prices have increased 4x since then, and per mile they're unfortunately on par with petrol now.

The amount of fuel limits how far you can go in terms of delta-v and mass. So, if you have to have all the fuel on board when you launch from the ground, there's only so far you will go and so much you can take with you. The point of going back to the moon is not only just planting a few more flags but actually taking some meaningful amount of resources there to ultimately be able to build a moon base. Same with Mars. And we might want to take some more stuff back (rocks, minerals, whatever). So, that requires fuel as well.

The point of refueling is getting to orbit and then topping up all the fuel you lost getting there (i.e. most of the fuel because getting out of the atmosphere takes a lot of energy). Starship when it starts flying will be by far the largest amount of mass we can get to orbit. Like upto 150 tonnes or whatever the maximum payload is going to be. So, that amount of fuel would enable large amounts of mass to be accelerated to a path to the Moon, Mars, or wherever way beyond what would otherwise be feasible.

And with a reusable launch vehicle, it actually gets doable from a price point of view as well.
you seem naive. SpaceX has made it to MI complex status, and US gov will easily bail them out should worst come.

Well :) Saturns were simpler, and more modest by performance. And also tested more on test stands, not like Russians used to do - with more emphasis on flight testing. Look how much more successful the Starship testing program is in comparison to Soviet N-1 flights - and remain assured, N-1 was made by serious professionals.

There may be niches where it makes sense already (short haul, long/frequent stops) i.e. city delivery, city buses and similar. But more importantly, whether its greenwashing today doesn't matter. Once it's demonstrably possible to do something, cities will include trucks their ICE exclusion zones, where today all ICE cars or some times only diesel cars are banned but trucks/ambulances. At that point it doesn't matter whether its twice as expensive - you either drive an electric truck or the goods can't be delivered. "Practical" doesn't just mean "reasonably cost effective compared to diesel". The possibility to run diesels in many cities will disappear before the alternatives are cost effective. That's going to drive the alternatives even faster, but it's also going to cost in the short term.

Damn, that's quite the lecture. Where did GP say that FOSS means free of payment? I only see criticism of the payment method (along with justification), not the need for payment. There are other ways of collecting payment than using Google Play Services. Plenty of apps that are open source are not free-as-in-beer (as you pointed out). OP could keep a Play Store version with in-app payments for users who don't care, but also release an F-Droid open source version that takes payments through Stripe or some other alternative. This would be approximately 10x better anyway due to "commission."
