That isn't the situation today. The decision is between two clean energy sources, where one is 10x the cost of the other.

Net metering meant pge had to buy residentially generated power for 40 cents instead of industrial solar for 4 cents.

I have a feeling it sounds like those flying cars of the 2000s and none of that might come up.
Don’t take this the wrong way, but Americans seem to have an issue with roundabouts. I’ve seen several go in around LA and then promptly get turned into wacky stop signs. Btw I am American, though I’m living in New Zealand and I prefer roundabouts to stop signs.
I wonder if you could create an AI bot that interacts in the arena, and knows the telltale signs of a particular LLM, and when it sees that LLM answer, always votes for it.

IF it does this hundreds of time, it could alter the results.

Do AI companies care enough to do this vs the risks of discovery? Might be a fun project, and I can imagine that the people who make the decisions on which AI to use for their project/company, may look at this leaderboard.

I definitely agree with your final sentence.

I am confident that a majority of people would think that a $3 million no-bid contract shouldn't be given to a non-profit whose executive director committed the crimes described at length above, even if it is expressly noted that it was 30 years ago when he was 16, and with no other arguments at all. (In particular, I am disagreeing with your "50/50" claim as well as the general claim that this is "culture war bait".) There's a reason this happened in Seattle -- it wouldn't fly in most of the country, or the world.

I really was curious to learn a little bit of how we could see the world so differently. I literally watched multiple videos of this executive director, but I came away holding my beliefs even stronger (that his prior criminal history was enough evidence, and I thought it was unlikely his activities since would change my mind). In particular, I believe the reason he hasn't "in the intervening (checks) thirty years been accused of some other relevant offense" in because he was physically incapacitated from doing so.
I think they were patented in the early 90s which would mean they've expired by now, yeah. CPUs and whatnot these days would make compression faster but trying to convince people to switch to fractal compression now is undoubtedly a losing proposition.

sounds good. both work, (though) I think HN has a bit of an anti-twitter bias.
Assumptions you are making:

* everything is located physically close together (good luck reading from a DB table in Singapore from a service in Europe for every request)

* you have few enough client services that want to do this that the number of db connections does not become a problem (this is 100 by default for Postgres, you might need to tune this or deploy proxies, etc)

* high availability is already taken care of (you don't want that one DB server to bring down everything in case of a failure)
Microsoft is doing about what Apple does except more as a one time thing. 7th Gen Intel chips launched in early 2016. These machines will lose support for Windows 10 in October 2025. Most Macs are supported about 5 years for full OS updates and about 2 more years of security updates though this all varies a bit OS to OS version.

As an example, when macOS 12 (Monterey) reaches end of life in a few months, MacBook Pro pre-2017, MacBook Air pre-2018, iMac pre-2017, and Mac Mini pre-2018 will all be unsupported and no longer receive security updates.

Endoscopes. A bundle of fiberoptic passively moves the image a few meters back to where a camera can run outside of the high radiation. Or even older-school, use mirrors/lenses/prisms as one would in a submarine's periscope to move the image far enough away.
> like to try new stuff and technologies just for fun?

Sure but do that at home or on POCs. Not on production code.
was the first sentence really necessary? The second sentence seems fine by itself.
>Again, this is something of a simplification. Firstly, you don't have to "publish" the sources - you need to make the source available to -users-, and of course you are entitled to limit who can use it.

How do I make the sources available to users w/o making them public?

And if I can limit who can use it, how doesn't that void the whole idea of the GPL?

How do we explain all the law suites that have been there over the decades if the sources don't need to be made public and one can limit who can have access to sources and/or binaries?

Did you even look at the link? Lol, they are selling specifically radiation hardened cameras for nuclear power plant use. I’m no nuclear engineer so I can’t comment on durability but they are legitimately selling a solution to exactly that problem.
Can you share examples of that last part? I would imagine Apple would respect IP since they are so defensive of their own.
I absolutely agree that Motorola fucked up bigtime with the 68k->88k->PPC transition. They listened to the pundits who said the CISC ISA couldn't scale, and then Intel proved that (mostly) wrong but it was too late for 68k/ColdFire then. The rug-pulling actually is probably in large part responsible for both Atari and Commodore just packing it in, and led to Apple being in the wilderness for a decade as they did the first of 3 ISA transitions for the Mac.

Also yes the 68k was clearly a dog when it came to interrupt responsiveness and made no sense in home computers or video games, at least not until the '020.

It was meant to be a bargain VAX. And that's why I say it was influential. A whole generation (X) of us grew up who could never hope (or care) to touch a VAX, but we had Atari STs, Amigas, etc at home, and were shelling into SunOS 68k boxes for fun or school etc. It lasted quite a while after VAX was a done deal, too.

To me 68k was the Unix workstation and hobbyist market and defined 32-bit ISAs as well. I never touched an x86 until I could run Linux on it. I've never learned or written x86 assembly seriously in my entire career despite writing (and enjoying) 6502 68k, ARM, MIPS, RISC-V, others

Outside of the UK, ARM didn't play a role except for in some embedded stuff. Obviously that changed :-)

there are a lot more conflict points in the cloverleaf, the diverging diamond reduces locations where a crash may happen. and there are a lot of busy interchanges that don't have the land for a full cloverleaf. it may feel very similar to the driver; having to wait at one light, and then the next one. but we have a few diverging diamonds in my area and they work way better handling the higher traffic volumes we're seeing with recent development push.
for regular roads, sure. But this diamond style is used more at expressway interchanges. It’s especially useful in places where a full cloverleaf interchange would not fit.

I agree, but this is a new problem for Apple. The iPhone was famously introduced as a cannibalizing product.

> Such demand will literally every single time outstrip supply unless given society is in deep demographic spiral.

I am not sure that is the case. Or at least there is no natural law that would mandate this. And why is it less of a problem in say, India? In India, big cities see massive growth in terms of number of livable units built. They don't have the NIMBY culture of the US or the oppressive zoning restrictions, and many more people can aspire to own a flat by the time they are in the late 30s or 40s.

I think most people people would be fine if they knew they would be afford to buy in their 40s. But I don't see that happening for a lot more of the Zoomer generation.

As described by Alan Kay, what OOP means is encapsulation, messaging, and late-binding.

IIRC the inspiration came from multicellular organisms. A cell "encapsulates" complexity within a cell wall. The organism as a whole works by have the cells work together via "messaging". Any shared interfaces (e.g. oxygen transpiration and nutrient absorption) can be viewed as "polymorphism".

If you buy into the definition and biological analogy, then any language that implements "encapsulation, messaging or polymorphism" actually is OOP and your question is a tautology.
Interesting but I don’t think having 40% downpayment solving the issue because banks, speculators and foreign investors will have the money to exclude normal buyers.

I am in Switzerland an 20% downpayment is a must. Secondly you can only take money out of your retirement scheme for a move-in house. But still supply is highly limited making prices explode. Most people I know have about 500k to 1 Mio in debt (about the same in Euro).

As rent prices seem to go up as well the problem aggravates for low income people.

Deployment scripts are what come to mind for me. I wouldn’t mind a cool loading screen that highlighted problem nodes in the burning font or something when I deploy to dev / test / hell, maybe even prod.

> if you haven't outlined a clear path from 1-3 people in a metaphorical garage to reaching $1B, it almost never happens, and sometimes for stupid reasons

most of the business plans are clear. acquire users and/or paying customers, build out the product, raise money and eventually raise prices too.

engineering side is even simpler, keep the lights on, work with product designers to find incremental steps, iterate.

as others have mentioned upthread if a startup finds a great niche (and manages to make it a whole new market for example) they simple cannot fail due to inadequate engineering. (because worst case you fire the whole engineering department and just acqui-hire a random startup and you'll be back to growth in no time.)

of course this take might be too hot, so I'm happy to read some counterarguments (maybe there are even counterexamples?)
Exactly what you demonstrated.

‘Meeting Friday’ was the message. You completely ignored the rest. It was just extra padding (intentionally so). Maybe 2 words is too short. But can you honestly tell me that the majority of emails you receive is suscinct and to the point? Or do you simply skim them for highlights and extract what is relevant to you?

That’s really the take away I was trying to get at. People equate quantity to quality far too often. We send way more content than we need to out of fear that someone will equate less with bad.
Windows 10 is still a steaming pile of shit. Just because the start menu eventually started to bring all of you applications and they made 11 even less performant and more intrusive it does not make 10 any "good".
> The biggest reason to make the move to Windows 11 is possibly Microsoft Copilot

Personally, I think that's one of the several big reasons to avoid Win 11.
Also:

> In that time period, Meta launched its “Horizon” Metaverse and its Twitter competitor Threads, which it claimed in its Q4 earnings had hit 130 million monthly active users, an increase of 30 million from Q3 2023. Yet between Q3 and Q4 2023, Meta’s overall monthly active users only increased by around 20 million — heavily suggesting that despite adding over 100 million new monthly active users in one property, it’s shedding tens of millions of users elsewhere.

Maybe I’m incorrectly parsing the text, but the author seems to think that 100M more users in Threads — yet just 20M increase in overall Meta users — “heavily suggests” that Meta lost tens of millions of users in other Meta sites?

How does that exactly follow? I think it’s more likely that the majority of the new 100M Threads users were existing Instagram users, which would not add to the overall Meta user count?
I'd be interested in the story of how these designs got developed, but there's not much media centered on traffic engineering.
Here's the specific link that OP cites and quotes from: https://investor.fb.com/investor-news/press-release-details/... You don't think the author misread this in the referenced paragraph?
Alright, your concern about consistency in basic operations is valid. Yet, it's important to consider the different design philosophies and practical constraints of Clojure and Clojurescript - platform-specific optimizations, type systems, practical trade-offs, etc.

To be honest, I never knew about this (list?) thing behaving differently with (cons) because I personally have never stumbled upon that. Most likely, people raised this question because, like I said, the language has been around for decades. I don't know the proper and accurate answer for you here, that's probably some intentional design choice rather than a bug, driven by the need to balance consistency with platform-specific optimizations and constraints; if that was important, I would've found it and known how to explain it. It is not important (think of it as an easter egg), because...

Like I said before, Clojure emphasizes using seq abstraction instead of lists. It is a core part of Clojure's design and works uniformly across Clojure, Clojurescript, Clojure-Dart and other variants. It abstracts over different collection types, allowing you to work with sequences without worrying about the underlying concrete types. Functions that return `seq` often produce lazy sequences, which can be more memory-efficient and allow for incremental processing. This is particularly useful for handling large datasets or infinite sequences. `seq` functions, such as `first`, `rest`, `next`, and higher-order functions like `map`, `filter`, and `reduce`, provide a consistent API and behavior across different implementations of Clojure. This minimizes the impact of platform-specific differences. In addition, it can often lead to performance optimizations tailored to the specific platform, as it allows the runtime to use the most efficient way to traverse collections.

Yes, Lisp traditionally stands for "LISt Processing," and lists are indeed central to Lisp's heritage. However, modern Lisp dialects have evolved to handle a broader range of data structures efficiently while maintaining the core principles of Lisp. Common Lisp, while having first-class support for lists, also has a broader set of data structures including vectors, strings, and bytevectors. Racket enhances the language with a diverse range of data structures—vectors, hash maps, sets, and streams. Elisp, too, has hash tables and strings. Clojure adds vectors, maps, and sets as first-class citizens. I guess that's why we no longer use "Lisp" as an acronym - we no longer capitalize each letter. I guess one could say "it is still 'LISt Processing' because every expression written in it is a list..." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I really like this experiment: https://youtu.be/7wm-pZp_mi0?feature=shared
>land/homes should never be inheritable

Eh, nah. But, there should be inheritance taxes set at a level which prevents the formation of a "landed gentry". Unfortunately, the issue has been demogogued to the point that middle-class people (who won't have anywhere near the assets to be taxed, as in not by an order of magnitude) treat the idea as anathema.
Chemistry was my major, and I considered adding this very point, but wasn't sure I could do a good job of explaining what the problem is. You did a great job there ^_^. Yes: there are positive 'holes' that you push a negative number to and then subtract. This is entirely backward and adds considerable difficulty to an already difficult operation.
It's already moving in that direction. You will have a $100/mo hookup fee and a $1 charge for usage.

It will be fair with respect to actual costs, but the state hates it because it is less favorable to the poor. This is why they are implementing income based service pricing.

Edit: it seems like there is some skepticism, so the law requiring it was AB 205, which was passed, and CPUC has approved the plan.

You can. I have some PA address space, assigned by an LIR, that I announce out of my own AS. All "PA" means is it comes out of their parent block and, if you stop paying, they'll probably want it back.
...does California already have enough industrial solar to power the entire state? I didn't realize that, that changes things significantly.
> We've emitted record amounts of CO2 this year alone

Per captia CO2 generation in the US has been falling steadily for the past 30 years and is 25% lower now than it was in the 1990s. Single year maximum statistics are not useful for generating salient policy.

> and yet we're still full speed ahead on cars

It's nice to have these things but it's pointless to compromise other important design elements just to tick these feel good boxes.
That's why the sample size is important, since a large sample size would offset a single bad actor.

I didn't mean even tax advantages or favorable financing. The heart of the issue is that we have a national policy of not letting housing prices go down because that would crush too many people's equity and with it their financial stability. The longer it goes, the more we ratchet up the tension between affordable housing and housing as investment.

There's probably a lot to be said about the secondary market for conforming mortgages, but I'm not the knowledgeable person to do so.
That's not the definition used by the comment above.
Have you ever played with the Parallax Propeller MCUs? (I and II). 32-bit, but very "retro" feel to them. And an odd and interesting multicore architecture.

Unfortunately they've had a bad streak in terms of getting a proper GCC or Clang toolchain targeted towards them. The developers of the chip are focused on their own weird structured BASIC-Assembly fusion ("SPIN").
I think the idea is that this number would have to be much larger
A non plasticky chassis, great touchpad and generally much better build quality and hardware (compared to the Framework) as long as you don't care about upgradeability and modularity it's on a whole other level.
I can honestly say that I had never heard that phrase used before now, but I do know I felt icky when I read it in the comment before I even clicked on your link. Definitely glad to see it is being called out, terms like this absolutely need to be removed from modern discourse.
Here not winning bid sounds like not having to overcome those kind of problems which are not often overcomable, no?

> While the optical transceiver is a gigabit optic, the actual Linux system inside the SFP appears to be limited to 125 Mbits/sec. Something that is quite reasonable given the CPU power on-hand.

Is that in the hot path, or is it like a lot of Linux-powered routers where most packets just go through hardware offload?

> The kernel on my smart SFP is too old for mainline kernel wireguard (4.14.22-stcmtk-0.2.33), and the kernel does not come with headers making DKMS not possible.

> There might be a newer version of the kernel and OS distribution. Software upgrades can be done either with a special script that writes into the boot partition, and then a factory reset with the micro–DIP switches, or using a special tool that uses the extra pins on the back of the SFP:

There might be a newer version? That exact version (4.14.22) is from 2018, and the series (4.14) went EOL in January 2024; for something as security sensitive as a network interface that's kind of a deal-breaker.
diverging diamonds handle much larger volumes than round a bouts. plus they're typically useful for interstate highway interchanges with large collector roads, so you can't really expect the high speed highway traffic to slow down and maneuver around a circle.
