This is probably exactly what happened. Those bad boys are not cheap to install either. Systems running well into the 30-50k levels to be paid over '20 years'. The system I put in would have cost about 45k after 20 years if I had taken their loan. I can buy all the electricity I need and 3 of my neighbors for that. As I had the money for up front it ended up costing me 16. Even then the 'ROI' is rubbish. Still cool to get a bill that is just interconnect fees though.
Thing with "legals" - it's a fixed cost. This mean lot of manipulatiation of the highest order of calibre; which is pretty sneaky. It makes sense.

Yes, he probably wasn’t a subcontractor in the legal sense. DEFCON wanted to say “we didn’t directly work with Dmitry, we contracted EE and they got Dmitry to write the firmware” as I understand it. DEFCON probably doesn’t know/care about every relationship EE has to their contributors.

....What definition? As a Brit, I'm telling you that's what we call people in these professions, anyone who comes to work on your house is a "trader" - you can choose to believe me or not lol.

Edit: and as another commenter pointed out, it's literally the government definition of someone running their own business - "sole trader".
If I recall correctly, FOIA says "in the course of government business." Doesnt matter what system you use unless that system is destroying emails...which is illegal.

That's still autocomplete. You use it by feeding in a context (all the text so far) and asking it to produce the next word (your fine-tuned classification token). The only difference is you don't ask for more tokens once you have one.

That's a very clever way of reducing a problem to autocomplete, but it doesn't change the paradigm.
I can imagine no better way for readability and accessibility than a text-first representation of content, which is what HTML is. I will even argue that having the modern web emerge from a text-content first approach is the best thing that could have happened to us.

All other content representation infrastructures that weren't text first, like java applets or flash died because they were no match for HTML.

I was thinking of their graphics cards which currently max out at 48GB, but true, their HPC accelerators do have a lot more memory now. In the case of Nvidia they would be a trade-off for rendering though since their HPC chips lack the raytracing acceleration hardware which their graphics chips have.

Besides, in the current climate I don't think VFX companies would be eager to bid against AI companies for access to H100/H200s, the VFX companies don't have infinite venture capital goldrush money to burn...
Here's an example: https://www.myworkman.co.uk/tradesmen/

The term seems to lack gender-neutrality so Wikipedia prefers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tradesperson

The trouble with "trader" is that it usually means something else, namely someone who trades. A tradesperson doesn't trade; they practise a trade (= craft/profession).
> This is awesome -- I really like my current admission controller though (Traefik), it's FANTASTIC. I think moving ingress controllers might be a large lift for people (it would be for me).

Clarification: You could use Traefik's ingress controller in tandem with a hypothetical OpenZiti ingress controller. You'd set `ingressClass: openziti` on those Ingress resources you wish OpenZiti to handle. Nothing would prevent you from creating two Ingress resources for the same ClusterIP service: one each for Traefik and OpenZiti.
you replace the local binding z to the dict globally bound to x by a local dict in that z = ... assignment.

however if you do z['b'] = 2 in foo, then you'll see the global dict bound to x has been modified, as you have stated.

well, that's _exactly_ pass by reference.
So, you're making a very particular point, in such a way that it is easy to misunderstand. Normally, just saying "women" or "men" is fine, but in this instance, sports generally refer to biological sex, not social gender, because biology discriminates. Individuals with biological male sex have higher bone densities, more ability to gain muscle, tend to be taller, larger, etc. "Women", as in gender, not sex, should not be slower, this is true, but "women", as in sex, will be slower due to biology.

The physical disparity is not a social issue, it's biology; the social component can be argued, however. How we choose to categorize within sports is in our control and opinions will go either way - in my opinion, the separation of men's and women's sports was done to try to correct for that physical disparity caused by biology, if that's undone, I think the top records will be dominated by individuals with biological male sex, regardless of gender, in all categories.

The mortgage issuers get to decide what risks they do or do not accept and they hate unknowns. One example that often comes up is "atypical construction". Maybe you want to buy a one-of-a-kind house that some crazy architect built for himself in 1968. He didn't use any materials that are known to be unsafe, but on the other hand nobody else had ever built a home like that and no-one did since. Mortgage issuers hate that, you might find a specialist who would be willing to offer you a mortgage, but nobody on the high street will.

It's not unsellable, there are a lot of private buyers, both investors who intend to rent it out and people with significant money looking to just buy outright. For example my mother moved long after retiring, obviously she can't get a mortgage, so she paid cash. However, if a mortgage will be hard to get this makes it significantly harder to find a buyer, especially if your ideal buyer is younger and not wealthy. This can depress prices.
"Port it to another language". You're saying this as if the minor asinine breaks in python 2 Vs 3 make it a whole new programming language, when in reality it is mostly bullshit like print going from statement to function.
The thing with chronic pain is that often it is garbage data being sent by pain receptors. Or more accurately our muddled processing of the nerve impulses leads to poorly established thresholds that lead to a constant presence of perceived pain. So preventing this pathology based on my experience is a cure. Physical regeneration is a separate target in my opinion.

I have an interest in metal boats and in the 70s-80s it was common to spray foam these vessels. This pretty much always caused premature end of life due to corrosion.

There's a whole class of corrosion in metal structures called Corrosion Under Insulation or CUI. This is a problem for any insulated metal structure, but it is way worse with spray foam because the foam traps moisture very effectively, when it breaks down it becomes acidic, it is difficult to remove for inspection or repair, and it makes hotwork dangerous because it is flammable.

When I started seeing wooden houses and roof decks get spray foamed, I could only think that these structures will likely be rotten and useless in 20-30 years. I would only sprayfoam something if the substrate is completely impervious to moisture, like if it was fiberglass or something. Even then you're likely looking forward to a pretty evil concoction under that insulation in a decade or so.
I do believe you. As I did not find a definition with a quick search, I wondered whether it was some regional/dialect thing.
This is shocking and confusing. In the US if you watch HGTV and Mike Holmes, who works in Canada, all they do is talk about how great spray foam is and that is the gold standard. To the point I have had major FOMO for years because I do not have it.

Reading this article and the comments here ... I do not want to think, other than being glad it was too expensive to consider.
Not Op but for me it was frustrating in the past 12 months:

- when they use to break local files playback (where you have your own mp3) every few months

- when "add to queue" function started lagging

- when "add to queue" stopped working for a day or two hntil it was fixed

- there was a week when I couldn't listen downloaded playlists in airplane mode. For some reason.

- constant changes in desktop app context menu by moving items "add to playlist" and "add to queue" around

- "smart shuffle" I don't use it but now I need to click shuffle twice. And it's lagging

- ios app is progressively getting slower and slower

- I use it for music so I don't need audiobooks and podcasts. I can't hide them and they take so much space
The headline is accurate, it says "IQ" is dropping. If it said "intelligence" was dropping it would be less accurate. (But still probably accurate. IQ and intelligence have a good but not perfect correlation.)

In many locations solar add zero value to the house. So it is possible that you owe more on the house+panels than you can get. Most buyers do not know the worth of solar and so won't pay anything extra for a house that has them (overall, a few are willing to pay, but others will see it as something they will have to pay to remove). Even if you find the one buyer who understands the value, the bank do not understand how it will affect finances and so assume zero - backed up with there are so few buyers who care that they don't see many higher offers coming in for houses with solar.

I ate $20k on my last house because of the above.

Show HN: What is a Lithium Ion Battery Management System? (video overview)
The goal here is for me to practise presenting, writing and editing. The viewers get to share my knowledge for free.

This is the first video in a series about EV concepts. People can book me and ask me questions 1-1, that has been used quite a lot, but not everyone can afford that, so I am just writing common stuff and present it as good as I can.

Also making these is fun! This is the first one that is ready, I am already working on the next ones.

My goal is not to become an influencer, there are plenty of people unboxing laptops and making ASMR, these are meant as tutorials that happen to live on YouTube. I remember how confused I was by all of the tech when I started learning in 2018, so I am trying to remember the questions I had then and make videos that address exactly one question each.

I hope this helps someone :)

I understand TFA is about unsubscribing from paid services or subscriptions. But still relevant to this discussion—I don't even click marketing 'unsubscribe' links anymore unless it points to the entity's second level domain. And even then, 9/10 times the link is merely CNAME'ed to some third-party known data broker's 2LD. These links have basically turned into a form of data collection unto themselves. I.e., 'is anybody home?'

NB: Configure you email clients not to automatically download HTML unless you prefer to let senders know you're actively maintaining your inbox. I love receiving 'if you're still reading please click here, otherwise you'll soon be automatically removed from our ML.' I consider that the real unsubscribe non-button in 2024.
A tip that's helped me: when you finally find the thing you misplaced, and are done with it, don't put it back where you found it, put it in the place where you first looked.
Yes, but as I understand it, being a "sole trader" is different from being a "tradesperson". If you're an employed plumber, or you're a plumber with your own limited company, then you're a tradesperson but not a sole trader. If you do web sites or IT support on your own and without having set up a limited company then you're a sole trader but not a tradesperson.

In the UK, the construction industry has a great many cowboys, incompetents and scam artists. There's a lot of demand, so the market doesn't force these people out of business. And the courts can't do much if it turns out the guy gave you a fake name and address - or if the company that did the work went bankrupt.

And we've long had governments that take a hands-off, laissez-faire attitude - expecting the market to sort things out. As they see it, this insulation can be done properly, building owners chose to buy it, why ban a promising new green technology when the UK has millions of under-insulated homes and an energy price crisis?

Similarly, the UK has a load of tower blocks clad in flammable insulation after vendors Kingspan and Celotex scammed their way through fire safety testing - but somehow all the people who made money off it have disappeared and the taxpayer has to pay to remediate it.

You could argue that the web is exactly that - each page curates links to other pages - that's why pagerank worked so well in the early days for search.

I’ve provided facts. If you are unhappy with those facts, that is a choice, but the facts are still facts. Lithium is also abundant; I mentioned sodium because it is even more abundant and the evidence shows China’s pilot with the technology to be successful, but using lithium for utility scale storage is also feasible based on reserves available [1] and cost [2] if sodium ion utility scale storage is unable to scale, for whatever reason. Neither chemistry requires rare earths.

This is what government is for. It's why I can't (and don't) take any libertarians seriously. You can't Yelp review your way into regulating society. It's just so naive and silly.

I was reminded of this recenntly when I saw a "hack" on how to cancel your Planet Fitness membership. As many would know, these gyms make it incredibly hard to cancel a subscription. It's their entire business model. Anyway, the "hack" is to set your address to somewhere in California, set your local gym to one near there and then you can use a hidden URL to cancel online without having to speak to anyone.

Why? Because CA passed a law that says that if you can sign up online, you have to be able to cancel online [1].

Quite so. It’s always an adventure when sorting through these stacks. Never know what one might find.
Some fibreglass boats are still filled with spray-foam, and it has the known effects of eventually causing rot to any wood that might be embedded in the fibreglass. Embedded plywood is much less common nowadays though.

(The foam cores in modern fibreglass construction is PVC-based, moisture safe, and can not be sprayed.)
Anecdotally:

A: I get more spam than ever. What is especially annoying is that the majority of reputable companies do this. Order something? Sign up for an account? Set up an LLC? File a trademark? Boom: Spam emails UFN.

B: It's easier to unsubscribe than ever: Often one-click at the bottom of the email, or let Gmail/Fastmail etc do it for you. Generally effective.

One annoyance I find is the Our terms have been altered. Pray I don't alter them further loophole, where you will still get emails after unsubbing.

There's only one company I tolerate marketing emails from (Pitviper sunglasses), and it's because the emails are funny.

I assumed you would keep it updated the same way you do with mbtiles, but I see that mbtiles are an sqlite so I guess you can do atomic updates with mbtiles.

Note though that there are many cases on which served tile information rarely changes. A lot of us are serving a once-downloaded mbtile file and are using this just to _not_ use a provider (mapbox, ...)

Intriguing.

That's not true and that's why the "think step by step" works. The output becomes part of the context. Forcing that way of answering essentially merges two queries into one: split question into subtasks and solve each subtask separately.

The complex question does cause more computation and provides better quality answers.
