Good for you. I know someone who tripped on a power cable and broke their toe, leading to years of complications. Events with odds lower than 1/20yr can still be worth considering. For what it’s worth I have never used MagSafe on my MacBook but don’t mind that it’s there.
Time to build some nuclear plants.

We let Westinghouse die and now all boo hoo no power.
You're ignoring the 1000 systems damaged by stuxnet that had nothing to do with the Iran nuclear program? All of those people would view stuxnet as malware, and would want there AV to target it.

And that's forgetting that no matter how specific the NSA supposedly was, after launching their malware other groups will copy it, so an AV provider will need to view NSA malware as a threat model.

Plus, your original definition assumes the NSA either doesn't make mistakes, or an AV company shouldn't try to clean up their mistakes, both of which are nonsense
Yeah, misspellings were something so rare that I thought an LLM was incapable of producing them.

Yet over the past few weeks GPT-4 and 4o make them all the time. It will randomly change my postgres schema from public to publish. And, well, just this one for yourself:

> *Using the 'kubectl cp Command*: Execute the 'czygk cp' command to copy the file from your local machine to the pod.

Today, I asked 4o how to get around conditionally executing React hooks (illegal in React) and it rewrote my code to simply do it again but it merely swapped the order of a ternary, performance possibly worse than gpt3.

Maybe they’re weakening it because they expanded their free tier, but it has become surprisingly bad.

Who would sign up for your study? The diligent person already on truvada - would they risk getting placebo? No. Or the person too careless to take truvada? Would they go to the trouble of participating in a study for a 50% chance of protection? No.

It depends on the exact type of Testosterone being used. Each type has a different half-life and absorption profile.

The most common - Testosterone Cypionate should be best used twice a week to avoid the "crashes" - if you care about keeping your levels relatively stable. Other forms of Testosterone have different half-lives and should be taken at differing schedules.

I never saw the point in subq shots for TRT. They are less effective, and are recommended solely for patient comfort and compliance. If you can manage a twice-weekly deep IM injection, I personally have had great results with that once I learned the locations. Nearly as painless as subq and better more consistent results.

Overall it doesn't matter a whole ton unless you are doing it for specific performance enhancing reasons. Being off "optimal schedule" a few days isn't going to make a meaningful difference for most.
Climate zones: How will your city feel in the future?
This makes the most sense and thank you for offering a genuine answer to my question. Which leads to a follow-up question.

Has the rise of these memory safe languages caused any shift in the proficiencies of the average developer?

I see a lot of younger people gush over python early in their careers but see a lot of Java/.NET in enterprise.

I personally grew up learning Delphi, PHP, and HTML. Java and .NET came later, but I rarely had a hand in initiating the projects so my language proficiency typically flowed with the job/project I was working on professionally.
Oh, thanks for letting me now, we'll fix it with our next update. German is in preparation but not ready for preview yet, unfortunately.
Your comment feels polarized and somewhat political.
The risk isn't the night sky becoming a blob of manmade tech, that probably won't ever happen; the real problem with these satellites (and other things we launch into the atmosphere like telescopes) is that when they get damaged, their debris effectively becomes dangerous, fast moving trash that has to be taken into account for every future space object launch. (Which has a compounding effect since if something goes wrong, you now have new and exciting debris to monitor and be careful with.)

Launch too many and you can essentially create an invisible blanket for the next 15 or so years (depending on re-entry time; without some technical innovations in this field, this used to be upwards of several centuries, but that's gotten better - Starlink's re-entry is 5 years for it's satellites if memory serves me right, but the industrial standard is 15-20 years - this has the extra downside that apparently their satellites don't burn up properly, having damaged properties and people in the past. Their fleet size also apparently risks halting the recovery of the gap in the ozone layer with the mass re-entry) that will prevent any kind of space exploration simply because there's no safe zone in which you can launch anything without crashing into a space object/space debris.

It's indeed like colliding with an ant, but that ant also moves at a speed comparable to a fired bullet. Even something as tiny as a screw that got loose and is now orbiting as debris can absolutely wreck other space objects at the speed those things move in the atmosphere.
> And I've been in meetings and zoom calls where you can't get a word in edgewise until the meeting is over.

This often triggers the same reaction in me as when I start to write a reply here on HN, only to delete it without posting. "Why bother? No one will care what I say." Meetings where there are no opportunities for me to contribute send the message that my contributions are not wanted. That may not be true, of course, but that is the message I receive.
Why? It's not a native Windows on ARM app. Fornite uses kernel level anti-cheat. It's not a surprise it's broken. It'd be broken on x86 Linux under Proton or macOS with Whiskey too.

Linux on ARM at this point is in a more mature state than Windows with most distros having a huge percentage of packages available for ARM.
Also in the market and have the same feeling. The new Volvo EX30 looks very nice in comparison to Model Y and 3.
I guess power grids have never grown when demand increased.

Protonmail's customer service agent CCed my recovery email (me) in the email thread where the attacker was social engineering them. And the attacker was successful until I had to reply to the email chain myself to tell them to stop.

And yes, signing up to Home Depot's email newsletter and other services so that they could tell the customer service agent "my last few emails were from Home Depot and ..." was successful against their customer support system. That's just how amazing it is.

Finally, I don't expect the social media guy running protonmail's HN account to give us much insight into protonmail's customer support security issues, but if you're going to show up, I would've at least expected you to forward my email somewhere for follow up.
We do. As a result, if we cook or make tea with tap water, you get a hot swimming pool smelling liquid in your cup/bowl.
Yes, there are some subreddits about ideas, but they're all horribly hard to browse (and also full of garbage).

Key differentiators:
- submissions are well-categorised (and there are filters on the repository page) to find ideas
- submissions are moderated for quality and seriousness
- recommendation algorithm is far less time sensitive than reddit (which basically stops showing your post after day 2).
- a bunch of other useful features specific to ideas (eg: get notified when it gets executed – more in the making).

I'd say Oasis of Ideas can do everything a subreddit can do, and more.
Investors are in the business of buying things that don't yet exist.

Sure, they might do spreadsheet analysis and business planning to show the first person to invent a working, practical <foo> will make billions. But is this the company that will invent that?

That is an inherently vibe-heavy judgement.

I can well believe they remember considering a load of things, including the competition from their buddy's new venture firm. And they don't know themselves quite how they weighted the many things that contributed to the vibes, but they know saying 'generosity' sounds better than saying 'I didn't like the guy's glasses'
This is astonishing given that the project only started in Sept 2022! Andreas Kling, you are the man!
Sounds like your LLM guy just isn’t very good.

Langchain is, when you boil it down, an abstraction over text concatenation, staged calls to open ai, and calls to vector search libraries.

Even without standard tooling, an experienced programmer should be able to write an understandable system that does those things.
MediaTek is rumored to be planning ARM chips for PC in 2025. We'll see if they bother with Linux support.
That is software targeting Mac and Windows.
Adobe has been notoriously inept at getting color right, except for print.

Already in the old days there was Digital Fusion (now integrated as 'Fusion' into DaVinci Resolve, I think it was e.g. used on "Independence Day") and Wavefront Composer (SGI/Irix, later ported to Windows NT but I may misremember).

Also depends where "the old days" start. I got into CG around 1994 and then "the bible" was "Computer Graphics'?" from Foley et al.

And aforementioned newsgroup and also comp.graphics.rendering(.renderman)

Software that was written in VFX facilities and then became OSS didn't suffer from this as most color computations happened in f32/float, not u8/char per-channel and colors were expected to be input linearly.

Often the DCC apps didn't do the de-gamma though. So there was an issue at the user interface layer.

But in the early 2000's the problem was understood my most people working professionally in CGI for the big screen and all studios I worked at had proper color pipelines, some more sophisticated than others.

As far as OSS 3D renderers go, there were Aqsis and Pixie.

Krita was linear from the beginning, AFAIR. I.e. I recall using it for look development/texture paint on "Hellboy II" -- that was 2007 though.
> Wind is of course great, but is it enough?

Yes, basically.

Solar is going to be the dominant power source globally, because most human beings live closer to the equator than europe. In Europe wind is and will be a big part of the solution, particularly so in the north and near water.
> When the Cybertruck launched was already too late for them to have launched a "budget" Tesla

Sure. When the Cybertruck started diverting resources it wasn’t.

Current market leader is Mercedes with an SAE Level 3 vehicle [1]. (Tesla markets like it’s Level 5, but it’s technically Level 2, same as my Subaru.)

Waymo is Level 4 [2]. They appear to be at their field’s forefront. If Tesla could sell a Level 4 vehicle, even one that only carries that guarantee on certain routes at certain times of the day in certain weather, it would be a game changer.

SpaceX have announced an EVA suit, so they do apparently have plans to support such missions.

This article states that the entire capsule would be depressurised and repressurised, as there's no integrated airlock. It also specifically mentions the prospect of servicing Hubble (though with no details).

<https://www.extremetech.com/aerospace/spacex-unveils-eva-spa...> (May 6, 2024)

That strikes me as both the most basic approach and a capability which would be useful for other reasons as well. Another option might be to carry along an airlock, perhaps stowed in Dragon's trunk, and mounted during flight, though that itself might require an initial (full-capsule-depressurisation) EVA.

> The survey also found that 87% of Model 3 owners are considering a Tesla for their next vehicles. That means it’s a fairly small percentage of people who are actually walking away from Tesla overall, and only about one in five of those people are doing it because of Musk
I started with or-tools, early on I tried changing the backend and found that there were details in the problem definition that needed to be changed when switching backends. Not knowing a ton about the problem space, I thought that this inflexibility could get me into trouble later, so on the advice of a colleague I switched to PuLP, which does not require any code changes to try different solver backends, e.g. glpk or coin-or (or gurobi, a commercial solver which is supposedly very fast, although my problem did not need it)
Andreas Kling is a great role model in the world of development I feel. The decision to step away from the Serenity OS makes a lot of sense. There are plenty of them, nice projects to do, but they'll never have an immediate impact if any at all. But the browser space, Ladybird is viable as a daily driver for people. I'm still today astounded the work that has been produced just on this.

> Somewhat ironically, it was not possible to log into Discord using Ladybird. It does a fair job of rendering pages, but speed and stability are still wanting.

Fascinating to see people expecting everything to work out of the box whilst being writter from scratch.

And as an avid rust appreciator, all the comments about "rewrite it in rust" as if that solves anything the OP spoke about is really frustrating.

Let the team cook, if you dont like the dish, help cook it. The project has been super interesting and honestly I feel we need more like this in the browser scope.
Ok, so what's your criteria for saying that someone sucks at investing?

If you go "oh shucks i fumbled some %" that will excuse anything and everything.

If you give me a list of the times you fumbled and they're all the most amazing opportunities ever, what that tells me is that you're taking the obviously good opportunities, and missing the counter-intuitively amazing opportunities.
For more than a decade, worked with many large Single page applications (SPAs) across startups and large companies.

He has some good points regarding SASS. Other bits were about ranting.

The issue with frontend dev is there is a gajillion bootcamps promoting it so we have a bell curve weighted heavily weighted towards juniors.

Add in browser compatibility issues, framework churn and other headaches, there are fewer highly experienced FE devs who understand the browser in a deep way.

FE code also tends to be highly stateful. Managing state well is one of the harder FE problems that few folks talk about.

Add in the mix that some are apps and some are websites. There is no one right answer.
Your link doesn't apply here. The attacker's recovery process is to just send an email to support@protonmail.zendesk.com and start flapping their gums.

It doesn't matter if you lose data. If you control an email address, you get all future email including forgot-my-password emails.
Usable energy (work) is the lifeblood of any country. Do the sane thing and start building nuclear again.
I don't mind the feature as opt-in, just like telemetry it can be useful. But depending on the threat model it can be a big problem. I still use Firefox as my main browser.
Cellular reprogramming into early developmental stage in 60 hours
You mean restyling? It's a feature of classic automakers that I actually don't like. It seems aimed at forcing consumers to get a new vehicle by making the old one seem deprecated. It's mimicking the fashion industry, where fashion shouldn't matter.

If you mean vehicle development, Tesla does that, continuously. A 2022 model 3 is a different car from a 2018 model 3, as much as a 2024 highland is. You don't need to touch the exterior to improve the car.
> Don’t go to a boot camp. Use the tuition to sustain yourself while you’re learning using free resources. The ROI is much better.

Well, there was no tuition. Much like other bootcamps, they offered an ISA. And since the only value I expected them to provide was job placement, that seemed to make sense. So I received nothing of value from them and paid nothing for it.

But this leaves the question open of why they thought this made sense. They had to spend money providing the bootcamp to me. What were they hoping to get out of that?
I didn’t mention rust, I don’t know Rust and if I were trying to start a similar project I might do so in .NET Core because of my familiarity with .NET. I’m asking because I don’t know if there is a reason it would not be viable, is the garbage collection too much of a hurdle to get decent performance while trying to interpret JavaScript? Is there too much overhead tracking claims on memory and doing the bounds checks? I’d assume the same checks eventually have to be written in C++ too?
Ask HN: Do AI chips try to predict future needs of AI algorithms?
And if so, which AI chip has been best at predicating the future needs of AI?
Well done, enjoyed this a lot.
Don't do this. Requesting an explanation just to get an excuse to launch into a spiel is deeply dishonest. Furthermore, ideological battle is against HN Guidelines.
at this stage FSD is a meme. "We are confident FSD will be available next year and its impact will be profound" repeated year after year for a DECADE now.

Its not happening anytime soon, especially if tesla want to rely solely on visuals inputs without lidar.
It's not cynical. It's how many of us feel when we read a comment like this.

I believe you are right. But I also think that your phrasing is not very nice. It shows a lack of empathy and understanding and feels entitled.

You could convey essentially the same message but be way nicer to everyone involved, and that would be way more efficient.

If your ideal is a browser engine written in a safer language, and want to work towards that goal, phrasing things the way you did in your comment is one of the worst way to do it because you risk putting off people and they will associate this bad feeling to your idea. See how people react to comments about Rust.

Some of your options are:

- writing a browser engine yourself, in a safer language

- contributing to an existing browser engine like Servo

- convince projects to switch to a safer language, or to accept contributions in a safer language

- convince someone or a group of people to do those things

- fund such an enterprise

At this point, the world needs proof that a browser engine can practically be written in something else than C++, because it's what all three major engines are written in. There are strong evidences that Rust can be an option given the existence of Servo, but look how Ladybird is progressing so absurdly faster than Servo.

If you don't work yourself towards your goal, you can only humbly share your wish.

Lobbying is fine too, but you really need to make sure you don't make others hate your idea because of the way you communicate. Specifically in this topic, you need to take in account that many people are already annoyed by the numerous "why not Rust" comments, so you are walking on eggshells.

What's more, don't forget the global picture, and that security (although critical, we agree) is only one aspect. Security is irrelevant in a project that doesn't even exist. C++ is better than other languages for a lot of reasons in other aspects and you will need to address this, in the context of writing a browser.

Good luck in your endeavors, I hope you succeed, I believe it's a good ideal.
It's not easy to scale power grids like computing racks. We have moved our data center recently, and it's a multi-megawatt one.

Finding a location where power is available or made available was a major challenge and reduced our choices dramatically. At the end, multiple transformers, a couple distribution points and tons of power cables had to be changed/relaid or upgraded. The power budget planning for the region we're in have changed and this took close to a year, alone.
Looks smooth.

Can you elaborate on the languages used?
50MB is nothing. Consider that a "small" footprint Electron app is at least 120mb.
Human power use has remained pretty constant in the past 60 years, at least if you just count the west. It was exponentially growing before then, which is why people had so crazy ideas about the future since they were used to exponential power growth and assume that would just continue.

So point is that no power grid hasn't grown as demand increased, rather we tempered demand to match that the grid didn't grow. You even see it today with power shut downs etc rather than increasing grids.
Yes, that's correct. It was later adopted by the Linux Foundation with some industry support: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/press/press-release/open-sou...
Why? You don’t have to use it?
The US state department has some estimates of time to become proficient in target languages for English speakers. Germanic and Latin based languages take the least amount of effort:

Umm, can you expand on wind turbines being energy sinks in a way solar cannot?
Yes, a while ago.
But fortunately people continue. Just not with the billion dollar budget of Mozilla and with seemingly less traction. I have not heard of them in a while.

But I very much endorse both. And yes, in theory energy should be focused, but I rather have 2 smallish projects, but with potential, than one slightly bigger one, with fighting about direction all the time.
Can your IDE write them for you?
Same and with lots of Kotlin code in the wild on Android, I'm not too afraid to language will fade away. Bu in terms of active development like KMM; I don't like JetBrains being pretty much a single point of failure.
Agreed ofc but it's still only one company.
It also doesn’t show, at any point, that it’s required.

There’s no magic abstractions going on. Everything is regular html elements. You can just use the regular js api.

Reading the docs and having an understanding of how frontend works would give you that information.
Well to put it bluntly, Firefox is Google's bitch.

If we want the web to be a multi-vendor platform based on open, multi-vendor standards, as it has been for parts of its history, how much does Firefox really buy us? Do we really think that Firefox will take a hard stand against Google if their survival depends on not doing so?

I use Firefox, but I think it's no longer true to its original mission in a lot of ways, Safari's global 18% share goes a lot farther toward making the web a duopolized rather than monopolized platform than Firefox's tiny sliver does. The less -opolized it is the better for society, or need I remind you that Google is presently mired in court for its conduct in its other web-adjacent monopolies such as web search and web advertising?
I could have sworn I read on folklore.org that it was for speed, but I'm not finding it. You do have a point. Maybe Atkinson thought his dithering was more elegant without the multiplies or preferred how it looked on his test images.

I only used a B&W Mac a few times, but I do remember Windows 3.1 doing on-the-fly ordered dithering when running with palettized color (and being very surprised at NOT seeing the dithering on the blue gradient of a setup program once I started using high color modes). Windows 1.0 apparently was capable of doing it as well.
