> or do washing in the middle of the night

With dynamic tarrifs around here you sometimes make money by doing it during the day, especially on sunny windy days as you get money back for using electricity at that time. My bill is about two thirds of what it would be otherwise (since I cannot install solar panels or batteries it's the only way to have any advantage).

I've automated it so it picks up if the prices goes below a certain set amount, though that's not for everyone.

Btw my parents have been doing off hour washing since the nineties (we've had double meters for a long time). It's nothing new.
It’s one of the most common tropes throughout Latin America (and the US, and the world) that getting and holding onto power often requires significant betrayal of the principles on which change is originally sought.
This was a huge concern in 2022, before open models with useful IQ levels were released. Today, it's hard to imagine prohibitive prices at the end-user level, because it's hard to envision an application that won't eventually have a "good enough" open/free on-device inference implementation.

Two caveats: application-specific patents are still possible (and many torpedo patents are undoubtedly en route right now) and this argument might not hold at the middleman level (where wrapper apps might get their margins squeezed out.)
Limiting acceleration could be dangerous: you need it when overtaking slower vehicles (not necessary cars, it can be a tractor in rural areas).
some exotic cars do, but I was thinking of cars popular with young men who cause senseless accidents by treating cities roads as race tracks. A BMW 3-series is popular with them and is about 5 seconds 0-100.

I've had similar experiences to the OP.

I went ahead and rolled a simple green thread timer.

It doesn't support actual process management like a real kernel, and doesn't make any guarantees about anything, but it has gotten me further than bare metal scheduling and helped me avoid the shit show that is RTOSes.

Think JavaScript timer callbacks with an optional context struct (in C)

It has allowed me to interrogate a variety of sensors, process inbound signals, make control decisions and emit commands, all at various frequencies.

I highly recommend folks try something like this before ruining your life with these slow, abstract architectures.
Can you say more about this? Heat pumps don't by design ventilate or exchange with outside air. That would be the role of an ERV or HRV or just an exchanger.
> I don't understand the force of this no when the question is "is this like...". That's a solid yes as far as I can tell since the two papers are about the same general area.

I understood the question as asking whether the two papers contain similar content (which they do not) and replied in kind. You are right of course that they deal with the same general concept.

> In polyhedral compilers the hard part is finding the implicit polyhedra in loop nests

I was not very clear; this is what I had in mind when writing "you model code using polyhedra". I meant that the polyhedral compiler builds a model of the code using polyhedra as the first step of the compilation, not that the user would do it.
>Overall limiting cars to a maximum of 160 km/h seems like a good idea.

Ridiculous. People use cars for things besides going from A to B. In Germany significant parts of the streets are without speed limit and you can easily go 200km/h+.
I have pretty much the opposite take: years from now we'll tell our grandchildren that the AI APIs we used to use were paid BY THE TOKEN!

We're in the dialup days of AI, where capabilities are in the hands of very few companies because hardware and training costs are prohibitively expensive. Sure, the apps we use are heavily subsidized by investment funding and the competition is very fierce. I'll also concede that 99% of the AI startups today will fail. But that doesn't mean only the 1% will be left: new ones will continuously enter the arena, compete for attention, and to do that they'll need to lower their prices. All the while, hardware costs will decrease, and incumbents like NVIDIA will inevitably grow stagnant and others will come to eat their lunch. It's the circle of (business) life.
This whole system seems set up like nagware. Having the car distract the motorist with alerts while driving will surely increase risks of accidents, as will the anger induced by the frustration of knowing that a machine is fighting him instead of working for him.

Everyone except the managers hates micromanaging for good reason, it treats me like an idiot who cannot be trusted to make his own calls. And I know better than some remote manager the best choice to make in a given situation - especially while operating high speed machinery. There have been more than a few times on the road that flooring it was safer than slowing down.

Absolute trash idea - even worse than Auto Idle Stop, I will ensure it is removed from any future car I purchase.
I don't doubt that, but I was implying that having play by cartridge as the only method is not in their best interest, especially if they want to get more players or make money. Having a digital ROM version makes it more accessible (which turns out they did release). I wasn't aware that the Pocket could do Game Body Advance cartridges
One has to be completely ignorant of reality or an absolute tankie to make this sort of statement. Labour will be mildly hamstrung by the costs of a decade and a half of Tory failure, but to claim some sort of false equivalence between the two is foolish. The Corbynistas were rightly pushed aside because they, and the tiny leftist rump the represent, have no chance to get elected. Hopefully, now they can disappear into the irrelevance from which they sprang and let the rest of us get down to repairing the damage caused by the previous five years of pain their incompetent campaigning brought about.
Yes, the new Ryzen APU's might have 128G, great for running LLMs.

Perhaps some other party will come up with Groq like performant LPUs and LLMs will get more precise and efficient. I read that more and more people are running their LLMs locally.

> Isn't ER from the 90s? Most TV at that time was shot on videotape, not film, so there's no way to get an HD version of it, so if this is the case, you're seeing it in the best possible rendition already. Going through a projector probably helps actually, by making things smoother than they would be with upscaling on a 4k-res TV.

That is exactly what I am trying to say. While I have an overall lower max res, my viewing experience is much more consistent across all kind of contents. And it never feels as crappy as upscaled content.

>If you want to see what a modern 4K TV can really do, you have to watch it with something new, shot in 4K, perhaps in HDR if the TV can render that (this works best if the TV is OLED; LCD TVs don't have the brightness to really show HDR properly). Watching the same media on your 1080p projector should look noticeably worse than your friend's 75" OLED set.

I know I've seen it at friends place. But what I mean is I don't really feel it unless I compare both side by side thus it doesn't make my viewing experience less enjoyable. Ignorance is bliss I guess. And I much prefer the immersion of having an albeit lower res projected in the full size of my living room wall than 4K res in a smaller screen. It would maybe be different if I was watching ice hockey games and trying to follow the puck but I am not.

YMMV of course.
I have to disagree - the mental load to process all the traffic signs + narrow roads + roundabouts makes driving in Europe much more tiring and somewhat error prone.
"Marketable" refers to the labor market. Where humans are offering their services to employers.

Some humans are capable of providing highly sought after services, these people are called "marketable" in the context of the labor market.
Yeah; gas is big largely in Germany, and even moreso in the Netherlands since they historically had an enormous gas field in Groningen.
From Deleuze, I read:

I would say RAG + llama3 is already in that good enough level. Claude and gpt4-o are best but when you need steady performance or a cheap interface on a scale is it very hard to compete against llama3.

Yes, this is it. The goal of the question is "Do they understand what we and I are doing here? Do they understand what they are asking of me? Can they empathize with me?". And the meaning is simply if they have programming skills.

The article makes it sound like it the usage implies some devaluing of those who are not technical which is not the case (outside tech bro culture)
Does nix and flakes help with a reproducible build environment?
Why will it not prevent accidents? Most accidents are not caused by a lack of speed but rather, too much speed. Sure, one can hypothesise scenarios in which rapid acceleration is desirable to avoid an accident, but I'm sceptical those are very common in reality, and the obvious ones I can think of are around people performing dangerous manoeuvres (like overtaking with insufficient space).
He’s been very influential in the field of economics. What about Capital do you think is nonsense?

My Synology DS918+ ran for years without an issue.

Then suddenly I woke up and I had the blinking blue light of death, it starts but won't boot. It could be anything from the BIOS battery going dead to parts not being soldered properly.

The only way I could get data off their proprietary SHR system (which is great, except when the HW breaks) would've been to buy a new Synology system, put the drives there and pray it works out of the box.

At that point I decided to move out of a NAS appliance and build one myself, based on Unraid. Now I've got the same 1 drive redundancy BUT every file exists on exactly one drive, that drive has a bog-standard XFS filesystem. So if the HW breaks I can just take the drive(s) out and use them in a cheap USB dock.

The Synology's issue turned out to be a bad PSU - the light turned on but for some reason it didn't provide enough power for the system to POST. I grabbed a 3rd party one off Amazon and now it's running offsite backups for the Unraid system :)
I had a plumber tell me that if I left the filling loop open then the pressure in the radiators would just keep rising and rising forever until they burst. He didn't agree that it would stop at equilibrium with mains pressure.

While I agree (restricted rights is a punishment), the US legal system still seems focused on "revenge" vs "rehabilitation"; you mention sex offenders, they are on that list for life even if it was a case of peeing in public. People lose their right to vote.

Regardless of whether you call it "rehabilitated" or "paid their debt to society", I don't think people should continue to be punished (e.g. by being on a list) after they've done their time.

I'm aware this gets tricky with certain kinds of sex offenders though, who get out of jail and continue their shit; they have paid their debt to society, but they haven't and may never rehabilitate.
That means that the Northern Ireland will be united with Ireland. That's really good news. It's long time overdue.

I feel like I've seen this exact post this week on the same topic on this website. Am I going mental, or is hackernews merging duplicate posts?
Well, I'm struggling with this myself. Should we be cynical because the world around us has been cynical historically? I prefer not to be cynical - to be blunt I don't mean to belittle anyone, but being cynical is just boring. I am an empathical being so I understand that some people might think "boring" is inapropriate, but I try to elevate the discussion. Sadly Russia often through history has chosen to be cynical and the war in Urkaine is of course no exception. Cynism is a yoke that enslaves and prevents innovation. Humans are able to follwo different patterns of behavior, lets call one pattern the "clan vs clan" pattern. In the "clan vs clan" pattern hierarchies are created through violience and groups fight against each other for power. This pattern is what runs the matrix that criminal gangs operate in. The pattern is "self balancing" since its basically the people with most violence capital that calls the shots. However, this pattern fails to provide for the many, abundance flows to those with power and there's not so much cause for innovating for your own sake since your work will just end up in the hands of the powerful. I beleive you can see in Russia and in countries where cartels run the business that they are less effective in providing for the many. In Russia the answer to this is to work with spirituality - the Russian orthodox church has been tied into the power structures and Russia tries to promote its orthodoxy abroad in attempts to gain influence, but just like the rest of the power structures it is corrupt.
I beleive that Europe deserves a better future than falling into cynicism, not least the eastern parts. Its like resuming the dark ages. Its hard to predict the future and I don't know what will happen. Sadly weapons and armed conflict will most likely play a role, but I think that we must reason more broadly to really solve the conflict. Beating cynicism with cynicism is just cynical. People have an abillity, even if it may be suppressed in some people, to be reasonable.

I'm quite doubtful about the latter statement:

- I know quite some people (in Germany) who still complain about the mandatory seat belt laws that were introduced in 1976 in Germany for front seats (and since 1984 for back seats if they had seat belts).

- Another example: in 2009 light bulbs were banned in the EU. I know quite a lot of people who still deeply hate the EU for this.

As I feel the current political climate, the hate against the EU in the wider public is insane. Every new such legislation is another kindled fuse for the powder keg of the fury in the public against the EU.
According to the Heat Geek (in the UK) their minimum is 3.5 and their current average is 4.4. I saw a video[0] they did with Urban Plumbers and they visited a new build (well insulated) where the SCOP was 2.2. The main reason it was so low was the heat pump was over specced (by almost 4 times!) and the pump was cycling constantly.

Speed limiters? I think I'm gonna keep my 12 year old do-whatever-you-want mad max driving machine as long as humanly possible.
It's not an EU requirement (at the moment, at least). Interoperability is required, and MLS is an IETF standard (RFC 9420) to accomplish secure cross service messaging.

Several Facebook people (@fb.com) were taking part in protocol design, so I wouldn't say they'll never adopt it. It all depends on how much shit the EU is willing to take when it comes to interoperability.

MLS without MIMI isn't going to change much, though, and MIMI is still a work in progress.
Basically no one ever has recommended throwing out a well-working existing heating system. But heating systems, including radiators, tanks and furnaces, have limited life spans. Usually 20-30 years. At some point it is not economical to repair them, spare parts may not even be available anymore or laws have changed that require particularly old and dirty furnaces to be removed.

In those cases, heat pumps are usually the more economical choice, depending on government incentives and other considerations. For example, it is quite certain that current EU-legislation concerning the inclusion of domestic fossil fuel usage in the CO2-certificate trading scheme will result result in price increases of 20-40% for natural gas and heating oil by 2035 or so.

This includes older houses. Modern heat pumps are quite capable of heating even less insulated houses economically.
My experience is complatly different.
I live in a small street, and at the crossing to the next big street, it's very hard to see the traffic from one of the sides.

The only thing I can really do is creep forward until I get a glimpse into the traffic, and if it's clear, accelerate the hell out of it.

So, at least for the first, let's say 30 to 50km/h, I'm very glad of the high torque and acceleration of my hybrid card.

I'd be fine with a hard speed limit though. I'd be fine with limiting the Autobahn to 130km/h.

I hope that a device that prevents people from tapping on their phones while driving will also be made and become mandatory. I see people doing that literally every single day, and it's proven it can kill people (because it did actually happen). And those who do, they are not driving fancy cars with some limited self-driving capability, just regular cars that you need to actually drive.
I've been waiting on that game since 2010, and it seems to have no release date, so it just might! I wish they would just break it into smaller pieces to have something to ship and iterate on.

Just because they aren't diametrically opposed, doesn't mean they aren't different in terms of character and policies.
what in the world are you talking about?

none of these things exist, or show any hint of existing. i'd love apple to make an apple dock. they don't because they don't need to; apple hardware uses thunderbolt 4, so thunderbolt docks work. (i do wish apple would support MST in their laptops though, so I can get multiple monitors connected via a single dock without that silly DisplayLink nonsense, but not even an apple dock could get around this limitation.)

your paranoia about apple-proprietary docks, keyboards, dongles, cables, adapters and (perhaps) monthly fees, are completely off-base from what I've seen out of apple.

...and i'm not even an apple fan.

That's when we are speaking of an individual system installed in a flat. When we are speaking of a building as a whole, almost all of the cost of installing either a heat pump or just a ventilation system is modifying a building to install air ducts. Which is sometimes a highly invasive, destructive procedure equalling to a near total refurbishment of a building (so this is typically combined: heat insulation + ventilation ducts + general refurbishment, as doing any of the 3 separately won't be much cheaper than doing all 3, anyway). Then you have a single large pipe where a large mass of air enters and and another one where it exits the building. Then it's comparatively not at all hard or expensive to add a massive heat pump so the inlet pipe passes through it (and a heat exchanger between outlet pipe and inlet before, so-called regenerative heating, which will achieve some of the same result, but for free).

That's why i think that buiding-scale ventilation systems without heat pumps make no economic sense. They mean leaving a very low hanging fruit, hanging.
It doesn't really matter if the codes are the same.

The attacker has a 1 in 1 million chance of guessing right, assuming 6-digit codes. This isn't acceptable for most applications.
I should also note that Heat Geek said, controversially, that one of their biggest indicators of a bad job is companies with more experience as such companies usually had a good reputation along with bad habits. Since customers don't know how these systems work or are expected to perform there is no good feedback mechanism apart from customer not complaining which is less likely as customers don't know what to expect in the way of bills being reduced in a properly working system.

I have a so-called "intelligent speed limited" in my 2 year old car.

It's absolutely terrible.

On the highway it picks up the 50km/h panel intended for the bus lanes.

Close to where I live it hallucinates a 5km/h limit.

In random places it will miss limitations.

Right now it simply decreases engine power. On a highway that's already dangerous enough. Can't wait till they use the same visual/audio warnings as they do for the pre-collision assistant...

By the way, that's bullshit too. Triggering for no good reason and scary enough to take my eyes off the road. Love it.
The first paragraph reads as if it's taken directly from The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.
I wish measurable intended outcomes were a requirement for laws and regulations, and that they could be nullified in court if it could be proven the intended outcome wasn't met. Partly it'd force people to state the intent more clearly, and partly it'd mean that if they were trying to mislead and indicate the wrong targets, the laws might get stricken off. It'd be hard to do it in ways that couldn't be gamed by e.g. promising too little (though presumably that'd make it easier politically to oppose as well) or making it something hard to objectively measure, though.
First the speed limiter, then massive fines for speeding, then limited registration for legacy cars.
