Your reply seems to be addressing points I’m not making.

> Yea, but they are not as singular in control of the economy as they were before Doi Moi.

That’s not relevant when we are talking about the public utilities, which the government controls.

> Just having state owned companies does not make a country communist.

I never said it does. I said having a one party state run by a communist party gives insights into the government and hence the public utilities.

> Utilties are state owned (EVN) but the capacity infra is private owned in part or majority.

The Vietnam government is happy to take your money but it doesn’t mean you’ll have say over how the SOE is run (hence the blanket request to reduce demand).

Or just the fact you get to bang your head against a wall for a while trying to navigate the state bureaucracy (if unwilling to buy some important people some coffee).

> This by definition is a lack of capacity

Capacity isn’t relevant to sharing of existing capacity. Whatever the capacity is or however much it wasn’t developed, there is still an opportunity for one company to “horse trade” capacity with another company.
> no common direction

> Whenever you reach out to the community, you’re rarely met with more opinions than you have fingers

One looks like a large and fast-progressing area, the other like a smaller and more cohesive area. JS/TS ecosystems made a lot of breathtaking progress in the last 15 years. It has a price: trying all the new approaches to find a better path means a huge breadth and fragmentation of the mindshare.

Not that Python hasn't made a lot of progress in the same 15 years, but, frankly, it's not as varied and novel, even with the advent of gradual typing and async support in the language.

Stability may sound and even feel good, but being stuck with targeting IE6 or C89 is also stability. Both stability and progress have upsides and downsides, there's no absolute winner, and you have (and, importantly, can) choose the balance you're more comfortable with.

The Netherlands is the opposite of "self-destruction", a large part of it is self-created and has coped with what the sea throws at it for centuries. Sometimes the sea wins and a new wetland preserve like the Biesbosch is created but mostly the Dutch win. The trend of ca. 18-30 cm of sea level rise per century (between 1.8 and 2.9 mm/year in a near straight line since measurements began in 1890 with a slight increase since 2000) lies well within what Dutch sea defences can manage.

And nor does the second. "AST type" is soley your addition.

It is clearly about syntax, as introduced in the first sentence. And that is a feature of the language, not program. Type, not inhabitant of type.

Agree. In addition, there are also plenty of artists who either shipped yet died poor (van Gogh, for example) or who were prolific proposers/thinkers/sketchers with "low actual ship rate" (Leonardo never built his helicopter, yet "dreamed in drawing" about it a lot).

Measuring the "influence" of an artist my "number of artworks created and sold" is a bit like measuring academics by "number of papers published". It's at best a very coarse approximation of "the real thing". At worst, total bull.

For what it's worth; since the Steam Deck came out the vast majority of my gaming library has become playable on my Linux desktop. The Windows partition was removed shortly after I got a Deck and realised Valve have done such an incredible job with Proton to make games playable on Linux. With my library of games, at least, I've not had any major issues that linger in the memory.
My observation is that Vietnamese people know about the risk of heat stroke and how to avoid it.

You won’t see people walking around outside during the hottest hours (9am to 5pm). People are in the shade, avoid physical activity.

There are some manual laborers working outside at those hours, but they are covered from head to toe to protect against the sun and take frequent breaks in the shade.

But heat tolerance is real. Many people live without AC, and even those with it often won’t use it except for the hottest few days of the year.

It will be 35C with 50% humidity (41C heat index) and they aren’t sweating.
If you assume a very conservative $100/m subscription for every Starlink customer, they're making $3.6B a year already and it seems like they can do a lot more capacity.

Could they have made it look less like Midler vs Ford?

"Midler was asked to sing a famous song of hers for the commercial and refused. Subsequently, the company hired a voice-impersonator of Midler and carried on with using the song for the commercial, since it had been approved by the copyright-holder. Midler's image and likeness were not used in the commercial but many claimed the voice used sounded impeccably like Midler's."

As a casual mostly observer of AI, even I was aware of this precedent
Following that logic, regulated industries would be going after anything resembling Microsoft Office with a flamethrower. It would be product suicide for any piece of software, like e.g. Microsoft Office or Microsoft Windows, to offer even optional AI capabilities.
It's going to be bitterly ironic when it turns out that it's not the AI, but some crazy human that wants to turn everyone/thing else into paperclips.

also, creating value is different from capturing value.

You can create value but not capture it (or don't have the ability to capture it). But somebody tends to capture the value, and if it's not you, it's probably going to be your boss (or their boss, etc).
This demo and the one I linked just seem so open about the AI GF use case its bizarre.

You can buy EV for a few hundreds dollars (bike), cheapest Chinese cars are around $2k, European minis start at 10k EUR.

EVs are actually very cheap as basic city car, but you have to leave out extra features like long range, bidicharging, heating...

We live in AI gold rush. Many companies tries to monetize trends. Standard behavior.

We have lived through some trends. Cloud computing, web30, metaverse, nft. Not all were bad, not all were transformative.

Since chatbots will kill google search as we know it, this time it is for real. Everyone will try to get slice of that pie.

One more thing is that some companies provide pages so vague, that you literally cannot understand what stand behind buzzwords. "We enhance future with AI", "we transform your business with AI". Corporate mumbo-jumbo. These page descriptions are written for the people who are tech illiterate. Effectively these sites are para-sites ;-)
This takes me to my childhood. My dad was an electrical engineer in India and worked at a ship repair dockyard. He once came back with a few shelves and cabinets for our kitchen. These were taken out of ships that were getting cut up in their dockyard. They were complete mismatches in aesthetics but it did not matter to his "why waste such functional ..." attitude. He was excited about what his "workers" could salvage from the ship. Mom didn't care as this was an old house where we have been living for generations and functionality trumped aesthetics.

The most intriguing part to me was the wooden cabinet was painted white with something stencil printed in green. My best guess was that was a Cyrillic script, and about twenty five years back, it wasn't easy to decipher what they meant.

Those cabinets are still hanging in our old house. Next time I'm there, all I need to do is pull up my phone and translate that text and get a kick out of what the original intention was for the sailors and what my mom is storing in it!

No wonder they get along with Microsoft just fine. Here's what Tim O'Reilly said about MSFT years ago, and I think it applies to OpenAI today:

"Microsoft gets a lot of heat for not leaving enough on the table for others. My mother, who’s English, and quite a character, once said of Bill Gates, “He sounds like someone who would come to your house for dinner and say, ‘Thank you. I think I’ll have all the mashed potatoes.’”"

Replace Gates with Altman.

I got the solution! Given that spaces in identifiers cannot be used because we need to please the language tokenizers (shouldn't be the other way around with humans vs machines?), let's use TAB as a word separator!

Configure TAB width = 1 character, and there you go.

A clear counter example would be someone like Franz Kafka. He hid much of his works in his lifetime, and willed for them to be destroyed posthumously whether published or unpublished.

What is it always with these statements on Hackernews. Such hyperbole. "I can't imagine doing any meaningful work on Mac"

For me, school was mostly frustrating.

I loved kindergarten and first and second grades which mostly seemed to be play. I think it was effective for me as far as creativity and socialization goes.

From third grade through high school I was bored with most of the material. A lot of it was not interesting and sometimes the pace was too slow.

At university, the work load was too high. I think if I had taken six years to complete the 4 year program, I would have been a lot better off. Too often I didn’t have the time to really dig into the material and explore related ideas (side quests). Instead I settled for memorization which was enough to do well on exams. My GPA at graduation did not reflect my command of the material.

Like Andy, I think an AI-powered course of learning could be great. The strength, I think, would be its adaptability. If while learning topic A I stumble across an interesting idea, it would have no problem with changing course and running down topic B.
Where "not now" could be a euphemism for "I don't want to, but there always a hope that they will change their minds later and won't force me", or perhaps it means "I want to wait until everyone else has caved, and my laptop no longer functional".

I only continue to use Windows for work because it is mandated. All new work laptops come with at least one day of entertainment called "setting up". Where the myriad options are explored for the possibility of duplicity, breaking data collection and plain old contrarianism.
> Does she not have the right to use her own voice for money merely because she sounds like another, more famous persons?

Of course she can. She just can't fool consumers into thinking that she is SJ.

The problem here is not that the voice sounds identical to SJ, it's that the consumers are led to believe they that is SJ's voice.

I have a time of use contract with hourly pricing, based on the day-ahead electricity market. So I also wanted to schedule charging, but I was somewhat disappointed that

- my charging station has no scheduling feature built-in

- my EV does have settings for this, but they act more as a suggestion. It would often charge when I didn't want it to.

Fortunately the charging station does support being controlled over modbus tcp/ip, so I was able to write some code and run it on a Rasperry Pi to control it. My control system fetches the prices and enables charging whenever they are below the configured maximum.

However, I now find that (because of my obsession with optimizing this) it is still very far from a hands-off solution. I find myself doing this:

- check electricity prices manually

- check car state of charge manually

- if prices are going to dip very low, figure out how much time will be needed to charge to 80%

- if prices are high, figure out whether I need to do a minimal top up anyway and how much, based on how much I think I'm going to drive

- choose a maximum price such that charging will be enabled during a sufficient amount of hours, based on the above

The main thing that's missing to properly automate this is a way to retrieve the EV's state of charge. But a charging station for home use will typically only support a simple PWM signal to tell the car how much current it can draw. No other communication is possible unless the charging station supports ISO 15118. Mine doesn't :-(
It's literally mentioned in the changelog:

The annoying thing is that there's nothing inherent about EVs that make them expensive/luxury. A budget EV is just as possible as a budget car, sure, the range may suffer (unless it's a hybrid) but it's technically possible. It's companies and maybe consumer preferences driving this. I'd guess luxury EVs just have a fatter margin.

I find it a little unfortunate that the ANC, who have explicitly stated they won't enforce the ICC warrant against Putin (and have previously ignored ICC genocide charges against a Sudanese leader), were still considered a reasonable group to prosecute Israel.

Makes it look rather like they did so at the behest of Russia (whether on behalf of their ally Iran or as a simple continuation of Russian support for the ANC, who knows).

Even if it only looks like that, the conflict of interest is sufficiently obvious that I find it difficult to regard the ICC's indictments wrt Israel as judicially legitimate.

(this is not to imply that Israel is anywhere near innocent of all accusations made against her, only that I see no reason to trust the ICC's judgement in the matter of which ones she's guilty of)
