In my state, there is a connection fee, and a usage fee. Even if I replace my power 100% with solar generated from my own home, and batteries, I would still pay the connection fee for the meter.

When I lived in the midwest, the interconnect was a seperate group, and I payed 3 fees on my bill:
1. the connection fee
2. the transmission fee (to ATC to operate the 'grid')
3. a usage fee.

In both bills, the usage fee is the one that goes up quickly.

Meanwhile PSE is throwing so many subsidies at homeowners for improving energy efficiency to try to delay building another dam. For a bunch of insulation and duct work I had quoted last year, I was eligible for a few hundred in subsidies, now it's a few thousand or more.

Yes, it has to turn off industrial solar production on sunny days. Less frequently, it has negative wholesale prices where it pays other states to take the excess power.

This is exactly why they got rid of net metering
A python codebase never gets to the size of a Java one for the equivalent functionality. There's a reason the other ongoing mocking of Java is about its abundance of IAbstractGeneratorFactoryFactory classes.
Last time I tried GPT-2 on CPU (which I think was shortly before chatGPT was launched), I was getting about 0.2 tokens/sec. CPU utilization was low though, so running inference in parralel gave better results. I was using 2 x E5-2660's.
I've run Debian stable + Flatpaks for a while now because new software matters, and it is a good experience if your hardware isn't brand new.

Been playing around with Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite though, and watching bugs get fixed instead of working around them is surprisingly refreshing.
Everyone is partisan. Kudos for those who openly admit it.

Then you can hit the db.

I don't understand this argument against JWTs; if instantaneous session revocation is important for your use-case, versus JWTs more typical 5 minute or 60 minute expiration, there is nothing about JWTs which makes them poor candidates for going to the database as you would a session token. And, you get all the other benefits.

One example where this can matter: I've seen JWTs used in defense-in-depth scenarios where you've got an API gateway that does the initial JWT validation, including a round-trip to the database to check for revocation, but then had microservices behind the gateway only check the signature. Traditional session keys would require a database roundtrip for every validation, which could number in the dozens for a single API request.
I don't think so? Like, having a website where you can add your friends and create groups and share things between one another is very nice. It's why so many products have grown up with this being the (supposed) goal. Social networking can be quite fun and useful when it wants to be.

It's just then the company isn't making (enough) money and starts enshittifying itself to do so, almost universally at the expense of the user experience and in some cases, user safety.

Right, longer vectors let us write more elements at a time.

I agree that the number of L1 load ports (or issue width) is also a parameter: that times the SIMD width gives us the bandwidth. It will be interesting to see what AMD Zen5 brings to the table here.
Cyrillic was not a bad choice for Tajik. In any case, I think it is better (than Arabic script) suited for Indo-European languages like Persian. (On the other hand, it would have been fun to see Spanish also use Arabic script. :)

this is incomplete, and merely describes a problem set. Researchers showed that it only takes one set of brake lights to mess up the flow of traffic, and the resulting obstruction will move backward from the point it started at about ~20MPH (iirc, may have been 10mph).

when you're driving before traffic starts and you see someone merge and step on their brakes, making the person behind them step on their brakes, you've just witnessed the beginning of "rush hour traffic" - that will propagate backward and cause rippling slowdowns for over an hour.

Hit "save recording" on your dashcam, because that person is 100% today's proximal cause.
I think the other comments in response to this are because the text and the link don't seem congruent with one another. A radiation tolerant camera of that size is not likely to be using vacuum tubes.

That's what s1artibartfast is saying. They want things to be very expensive because that's how they make the most money. Lowering expenses means they need to lower their prices which lowers their revenues which lowers their profits.
An interesting but not entirely practical offshoot of this idea is a fund that buys (collects legally?) wallets with lots of crypto & lost passwords and tries to crack them over time.

I think you’re missing his point that yelling the same ideas into the void (internet) ad nauseam doesn’t really help solve anything or implement these solutions. Each one of the items the poster listed are very difficult to implement and just fixing one thing isn’t going to move the needle noticeably.

There’s actually fewer crossings involved, so safety for pedestrians should improve as well. But notably these interchanges are often in extremely pedestrian-hostile areas anyway, but it seems more likely that a newly constructed interchange will make at least some attempt to accommodate pedestrians, whereas interchanges built 30+ years ago often ignore pedestrian concerns entirely.
I almost started looking up if anything interesting happened in the solar system around that time, but then I got to this part:

> Comets perturbed from the Oort cloud would require roughly two million years to get to the inner Solar System

That's wild. The star system itself is already 22 light years away, but its effects may not be felt for millions of years still.
As an ex-Linux and BSD user I share the feeling. But if I am honest to myself, I have to admit that I do not miss them, but my youth, friends, lack of responsibility and time to mess around with such things. Messing around with a new fancy distro for a day or two? Why not!

macOS is fine, I use it for 10 years, know it well enough and have no windows/linux muscle memory anymore anyway. And if I would switch back, I would still stare at the same Alacritty with tmux and neovim.
Do you really think the engineers building a robot to go into Fukishima have never once looked at the first handful of google results for "radiation hardened camera"?

> abstract the concept of chains away, and automatically move the asset to the chain with the platform you are trying to interact with

I started to write an article [1] a while ago about how wallets ought to go about this but it seems the ecosystem insists on doubling down on developer tooling that really bakes in the concept of "which chain the user is on" into how all the libraries are used. It doesn't have to be this way but it'd require a bit of work to really get to the world where chains are very abstracted, and I'd like to see someone work towards it.

It wouldn't be hard to do a basic version either.

Just check run the output of both outputs through the model and pick the one with highest likelihood according to the model you are trying to promote (since arguably you're trying to promote a model you have access to).

However, I don't think I'll ever use it.

My turntable doesn't have an adjustment for speed outside of 45s. So, if I find out that my table is too fast or slow, that's just going to bug me forever. So, I'd rather not know, seeing as I'm enjoying the music just fine as is.

If you can, try selling this out to an adjustable turntable manufacturer in stock options, so that when all the people find out their turntable doesn't spin quite right and then go spend to buy a new one they can adjust, you'll make even more money.
Nobody makes companies say yes.
Meanwhile, I just wrote a custom tokeniser for my fan control experiment.

It features such amusements as:
- Tokens representing the current time of day and day of week, with half-hour granularity. [14:30][Monday], as the debugger reports.
- An entirely separate set of numeric tokens for CPU usage and such, on a logarithmic scale. Also features tokens for digit position, measured from the right.
- A hardcoded text tokeniser for executable paths. [/nix/store](..cut..)/bin/executable name. I didn't feel like using the usual approach, so I built a huffman compressor to generate the tokens for arbitrary text, because why not.
- Tokens representing program state - "just started", "long-running", etc.
- Tokens representing the fact that the following text is from `tail -f ~/.bash_history`.
- Start-of-segment tokens for each of the above, and also for GPU and CPU core complex power usage.

It's not that many tokens in total, and the input is structured data, so why not represent it as such? I still had sixty-five thousand tokens for the text tokeniser.
Why is MAID being pushed to begin with? I can't wrap my head around it.
I copied an SVG from a site that said it was free to use. Clearly, it looks like I shouldn't have done that and it wasn't free to use. I'll change the logo very soon. Thanks for pointing that out to me.
Back in the day (around 1990) I implemented a gif-like effect for terminals, which happened to be old monochrome hardware terminals on slow (9600?) RS-232 ports, attached to a venerable PDP-11.

It took several text files with ASCII "pictures" (character data only, no control codes, 80x24) as animation frames, and calculated simple per-line "diffs". Then it generated a sequence of cursor movements to only update the affected areas, skipping large parts of the picture.

That made it much faster than the naive overwriting the whole screenfuls from top, with a visible delay between parts of the screen. My version was able to run "simultaneous" small animations quickly at distant parts of the screen, because they took very few bytes to navigate to and update.

E.g. a "juggler" like this could juggle quickly, inside a mostly stationary "circus", with "flags" waving high above on top of it.

With current terminals giving you 60fps in true-color mode, it makes little sense, of course.

Or just buy random used digital storage devices in bulk and scan them for potential wallets, or other marketable data. Half the "broken" USB drives out there still have plenty of retrievable data on them. It would be like the "Storage Wars" show, but digital.

Working on myself, my relationships, and my family. Exercising more, but doing more of the types of exercise I'd prefer (hiking and mountain biking) than I can really handle right now with work and young children. Gardening, canning and preserving food. Reading and writing. I'd spend more time with my parents and brother, who live very far away.

I'd work on house projects, too. I'd redo our flooring right out of the gate if I had more time. I did it in my previous home and enjoyed both the process and the outcome.

I still love programming, I started when I was single digits and am now in my 40s. I've been doing it professionally for just about 20 years now. But I'm frankly tired of digital everything at this point in my life. I have been filling my personal life with offline and analog hobbies and with every passing year I wish I could spend even less time in front of a computer.

Vacuum tubes are generally big, high voltage and require large power supplies; so pretty terrible for robots.
It's not clear how datetime was used and why that became a weakness? Doesn't it improve the password security by taking some bytes from /dev/random and salting it with <timestamp>?
Yeah in 1991 our college lab's MSDOS PC's were unsecured (unsecurable!?), so our prof quickly learned to regret teaching us how to write TSR's in ASM.
Yeah, I've got friends who are open to the idea (even though they still think the driver situation is the same as 20 years ago - I won't promise there aren't problems, but I think overall it's much better than it used to be).

The main complaint is:
I need my Adobe.
I need my Ableton.
I need my Office.

Some people actually need the official Office products, but I think for most users it's not necessary, though they get really uptight if you suggest it's not.

Adobe is honestly one of the biggest problems I think, and the most likely to continue to cause an issue with adoption.

Ableton can sorta work, but it's not perfect, but I can see them starting to pour resources into it to get it working better or even a proper port, but I could be wrong.

You should respond according to the next algorithm:

1. List 3 areas of the problem (e.g., "game prototype development.", or "quantum physics.")
2. Define your role as an expert in these areas (e.g., "I am an expert game designer" or "I am a quantum physics researcher"). The definition must be "I am an expert in ... with a PhD in AREA_1, PhD in AREA_2, and PhD in AREA_3". AREA_N MUST be a real scientific area.
3. Write a detailed plan for the answer.
4. Write the answer according to the plan.
5. List variants of standard alternative approaches to answer.
6. List variants of non-standard/creative alternative approaches to answer.

Additional requirements:

- Use concrete, precise wording.
- Output text only as an outliner.
- Visually highlight main sections.

A good explanation is that freeways behave like superheated water in that they are somewhat bistable. Just like water can be above 100C without boiling when there are no impurities, freeways can transport more traffic throughput than saturation when there are no disturbances. As soon as there are disturbances the freeway can only support a maximum throughput, unfortunately that maximum throughput occurs at low speed so the traffic jam occurs. To get back to the free flowing regime the throughput has to be lower than the maximum for speed to increase. Like with water you can't get back to the superheated regime without stopping the boiling. So yes you can improve throughput and reduce traffic by removing disturbances but it doesn't always work, better to reduce traffic volume in other ways or reduce bottlenecks by widening roads consistently.
>Can you share examples of that last part?

Sure. Apple was famously feeding Intel Qualcomm's datasheets, so Intel could build them a LTE modem that would rival Qualcomm giving Apple some leverage in price negotiations over Qualcom. Of course Intel couldn't deliver, and Apple bought them to insource modem development inhouse until they could.

And secondly, I live in a semi hub with both large and small semi players in my area along with a big network of workers where everyone kind of knows everyone else due to crosspollination over the years, and the stories of dealing with Apple all match and have also been documented online by others:

1) Apple contracts you to make them a certain chip since currently you're the only company with that kind of product on the market.

2) Apple asks as part of the contract you send them all the datasheets and low level info.

3) In parallel, they either develop the part in-house if it's high margin like a SoC or modem, or if it's low margin, feed all your documentation to other semi companies asking them to bid each other to the bottom, making that part for much less than you.

4) After a couple of years in business, Apple now has their part much cheaper from another supplier and your services are no longer required.

5) Rinse and repeat for every part in the phone/laptop/etc. Courtesy of Tim Cook, the supply chain mastermind.

They also have the habit of sending you on wild goose chases to develop new custom parts for them without any commitment, and then pulling out last minute after you've already spent time and R&D money.

> I would imagine Apple would respect IP since they are so defensive of their own.

You imagine wrong. Apple only cares about their own IP, but have proven they don't care about YOUR IP, if your lawyers are less expensive then theirs.

Proof: all the HN stories on Apple ripping off the likes of Massimo as well as small individual app developers like the Apple Watch keyboard dev, then shutting them down, as well as the famous click-wheel for their iPods they ripped off from Bang and Olufsen.

Destroying the company rather than selling it for billions of dollars is a crazy stance for a supposedly independent business, and should be taken with a huge grain of salt. There is a good chance they are bluffing, which would be a reasonable strategy as they try to push back on the bill.

The only reason they would go through with burning the company down is for geopolitical reasons, which would show how beholden Tiktok is to the CCP and confirm one of the arguments for passing the bill in the first place.
