A lot of supply houses only sell to people with an account setup. It's not that you need to be a liscenced contractor, they just aren't setup for retail sale. This often extends to not even having a till, customers create an account with net 30/60 terms.

A good way to check if a place does retail sale is to ask for the city desk when calling in.
I'm not sure what you're asking for. Are you looking for projects to work on? Are you looking for a job?

For the specific use case of cooking, I think the problem you will run into is that solar power is inconsistent which is problematic for cooking via direct heat as you tend to need consistent temperatures.

So instead I would look at indirect heat. By super-concentrating the full parabolic area into a single point, you can heat cooking stones which will radiate heat more consistently even when clouds momentarily block the sun.

Using a simple store-bought pizza stone suspended at a 45-degree angle above your food, the homemade solar "laser" (said in Dr. Evil's voice) could be targeted on the underside, directly above the food.

Placing firebrick or other insulating stone directly on the opposite side of the pizza stone would help ensure that minimal energy is lost through the rear.
If a Kwh of power costs $ 0,30, then 1 watt = $ 2,63 a year. (0.001 kwh * 24 hours * 365 days * $ 0,30).

So, it goes quite quickly. Savings of 20 watt save you $ 52 a year.
What is the implication for high temperature superconductors? Does this mean that they can't exist?

I've recently bought this Intel N100 mini pc https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005006727722225.html and it's amazing. It even came with win11 preinstalled, an unexpected surprise for me. 16G RAM and 512G SSD for 100 euros, great deal.

Hey HN! I’m Daniel, the designer on Onlook.

Kiet and I started working together in January to try to solve the design / dev handoff, and we think that this is a great first step to getting more people into code. People have mentioned that Onlook is a great complement to building frontends with Cursor, so if you’re just learning to code with Cursor, try running your projects locally with Onlook.

One thing I’d like to do is open-source our design system and make it easier for designers to contribute. If you have any suggestions or examples of projects that have done this well, let me know!

I’m hopeful that with the help of so many great contributors, we can make an editor experience that doesn’t compromise on the design / code experience!

You're right! The serial bus isn't encrypted!

I got inspired, and have plugged in my scope, and then an RS422 to serial adapter, and I'm getting XML encoded (weird) CAN messages, which I presume are the same as what's on the CAN bus exposed on some of the control box's ports. I'll get out the can analyser tomorrow and check.

Now the trick will be to reverse engineer this protocol. Here's a tiny sample:

<U>setCAN 0201000000236000000000000 </U=ce><U>getCAN 1 </U=00><U>Ping</U=db> <U>ackCAN 1</U=aa><U>Ping</U=db> <U>setCAN </U=b2><U>getCAN 1 </U=00><U>Ping</U=db> <U>ackCAN 1</U=aa><U>Ping</U=db> <U>setCAN </U=b2><U>getCAN 1 </U=00><U>Ping</U=db> <U>ackCAN 1</U=aa><U>Ping</U=db> <U>setCAN </U=b2><U>getCAN 1 </U=00><U>Ping</U=db> <U>ackCAN 1</U=aa><U>Ping</U=db> <U>setCAN </U=b2><U>getCAN 1 </U=00><U>Ping</U=db> <U>ackCAN 1</U=aa><U>Ping</U=db>

Yes, I'm from the UK.

1. Compare and contrast the privately run phase of rail service with the public version before the early 90s. It was low-use by the public and in a decrepit state.

2. The form privatisation took in the UK kept the most expensive, old, difficult to maintain etc. parts of the rail networks under public control. You saw what happened (HS2) when that public control was actually used to improve the infrastructure.

... We'll have to see what happens when MPs are suddenly setting budgets for rail companies, and whether you think you'll get what you want. I doubt it.
How is that your takeaway? Seems like the opposite of what's being said.
Linus Torvolts fairly recent comment regarding Rust:-

"I was expecting updates to be faster, but part of the problem is that old-time kernel developers are used to C and don't know Rust. They're not exactly excited about having to learn a new language that is, in some respects, very different. So there's been some pushback on Rust."

I do wonder if peoples mindset, especially kernels developers, would have a change of tune if Linus himself goes out of his way to learn Rust.

I doubt he is and, likely, has no interest in learning it, either. He is not in the position where he is forced to for the most part. However, from what I remember, he does review a lot of code and makes the final decision what gets merged into the main branch. I wonder how much use he will be when... perhaps in the next 10 years... the lower-level code he review becomes more and more Rust.

I guess by then -- which I covered a little in my comment on here -- is likely to be retiring by then.

I just think Linus, the guy that would says there is "Nothing better than C!" - could change the culture in the kernel world if he becomes decent at Rust programming. In reality, I think he would get annoyed fighting the borrow checker. Maybe I would be proven wrong.
Holy shit. It seems they are poisoning this effort on purpose. They are arguing against something the person isn't even saying.
Thanks, I'll check it out. One of my friends and his brothers all left Russia (before the recent war) because of the corruption. The most depressing part of his stories is how apathetic most people are and how there is so little hope for change there.

> Because I believe that Meta as a whole is moving to an open systems approach, not because Mark Zuckerberg is a nice guy, but because he is smart enough to go open before he is forced to by regulators, (or broken up).

I think it's both more than that and less than that. Unless I missed some news, Meta's newfound love for product openness has only really manifested in Llama and Threads—I haven't seen any evidence of shifts in their core products.

I think what's happened is that in both cases Meta knows that they don't really stand a chance of actually unseating the big players in that segment on their own, but that Meta can make a dent in their profit margins if they can dilute the value of owning that segment. Llama is squarely targeted at preventing anyone from owning AI. I think Threads is doing the same thing with microblogging. If Meta can't own a segment they're going to make darn sure that no one else can own it and use their profits from it to push Meta out of their core.

If it also makes the company look more palatable to regulators, that's a nice side effect, but I'm not sure it would work as the primary goal.

Like all LLMs you greatly benefit from prior experience or you risk just falling for hallucinations which is a limitation of a non-deterministic black box, and degrades performance relative to the task. Ive commented in other threads, LLMs are great at amplifying my output in an area I already have domain knowledge in. I think this is why people fail to realize any gains or give up, they think it will unlock areas they dont fully understand themselves. Blind leading the blind problem.

I’ve bought 3 used Dells, mostly Optiplexes, over the decades for dedicated hardware for Linux based projects. They always seem like a good deal, and I surprisingly never have problems with them. These are fleet computers that get gently used during business hours that have IT departments that replace computers on a time schedule. Outside of one HDD that didn’t last a year of heavy file traffic I haven’t had really good luck with these machines.
If you think of the government like a business, Social Security and Medicare are like pensions. Should companies be allowed to include pensions in their operations budget, or should pension planning be entirely separate?

I can guarantee you that if companies were able to include the pension fund in their operations budget there would be a massive increase in pension shortfalls as their reserves get raided for operations expenses. The whole strategy of including "entitlement" spending in the budget conversation is a part of a conservative plot to get rid of Social Security and Medicare. That's why we shouldn't include it as part of the budget.

The cat isn't in some quantum state. Cat is locked in a box, with some poison and a Geiger counter. Poison is released when Geiger counter registers a particle.

Now, the process of atom decay that would be registered by a Geiger counter has some interesting properties and that's where the "quantum magic" happens.

Extending that to all known digits would be a fun technical challenge. I once wrote a code to calculate positions where k subsequent decimal digits equal to the position index itself [1], but I had no storage to spare so I instead used a stream of digits from the public GCP dataset [2]. You would eventually want to try this approach if you are like me (i.e. don't want to pay for two-digit-TB storage).

What was literally said didn't include the words "always" or "your dumb rust code". From the subtitles with slight manual fixes:

> I suspect part of the problem here is you're trying to convince everyone to switch over to the religion as promulgated by rust and the reality is that ain't going to happen because we have 50 plus filesystems in Linux, they will not all be instantaneously converted over to rust. Before that happens we will continue to refactor code because we want to make the C code better. If it breaks rust bindings, at least for the foreseeable future the rust bindings are a second class citizen and those file systems that depend on the rust bindings will break and that is the rust bindings problem, not the file system community at large's problem and that's going to be true for a long long time, okay, and I think we just simply need to accept that

That seems rather technical to me. To put words into their mouth because they had a snarky tone, or claim the presenter was "immediately stacked for spreading religion or whatever" hardly is.
They are usually a lot more expensive because they come with newer CPUs.
Before walking and running, it should be capable first of standing up.

Screen readers, voice input, etc are additional features one can add
once the "core" is done, in future steps.

My issues are basic. How to organize a hierarchy of UI widgets and
in a clean way such that it supports features like event notifications,
bubbling them, hovering, focusing, mouse capturing, and it is at the same scalable:
If I add another UI widgets later (a composition of basic and available ones),
it should be done with less efforts and leaving me to concentrate
on the new functionalities instead of replicating existing behaviors.

I was able to handle buttons, check boxes and single line text boxes
with a custom rendering system I can change at design time. But the
hierarchy of widgets, the design of C++ classes, and the event notification are
not clean (although working), hence the bells started to ring.
Translating LaTeX to HTML is not a straightforward process, unfortunately. Many people have tried to implement automated translation systems, but nothing has really worked out yet.

I think it's unfair to expect the research team to invest additional hours in learning how to make good websites, so to solve your problem would require hiring additional talent whose only job is to translate academic PDFs into accessible web pages. I don't think that's a bad idea, and certainly Google has the funds to do something like that, but I don't imagine they'd find it to be a good use of money. Accessibility is an afterthought for most major companies these days.
You're looking for the Bell Experiment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_test

It proves there's no "local hidden variable"--the state is indeterminate until they are measured. It's proven through some pretty simple probability theory, and is (relatively) easy to follow. There's a great video of Leonard Susskind explaining it somewhere

I’m certainly not thinking of a list-of-lists. In actuality, pointers ARE dimensionality, regardless of the intended use.

At a talk presenting a personal project? Do you also feel it's OK to go to talks on Java projects to make statements like "Well, why didn't you write this in Go? It's a better language that serious developers are using and nobody will want to contribute to your dumb project using java"

The current state of the UK water industry doesn't seem to support this theory. Privatisation has only lead to water companies like Thames Water taking on unsustainable debt while paying out billions in dividends, underinvesting in infrastructure, and polluting like crazy. Now they are demanding permission from the regulator to massively hike prices, because the foreign investment funds that own them are apparently unwilling to countenance the idea of losing any money on their investments.

Infrastructure like public transport and utilities are not, and never will be, functional markets, and regulation is always captured or ineffective in the long term. Privatisation is only a method to let financial markets pillage public goods.

They literally said "spreading your religion" at the very start of their critique. I think I'm correctly reading the tone of the rest of the comment even if I didn't verbatim quote them.

From the closed captions with minor editing. In response to "we are going to provide API bindings"

> I suspect the problem here is you are trying to convert everyone to the religion as promulgated by rust and the reality is that ain't gonna happen. Because we have 50 plus filesystems in linux and they will not all be instantaneously converted over to rust. Before that happens we will continue to refactor code because we want to make C code better. If that breaks the rust bindings at least for the foreseeable future the rust bindings are a second class citizen. Those file systems that depend on the rust bindings will break and that is the rust bindings problem not the file system community at large problem. And that's going to be true for a long long time, OK. And I think we just simply accept that right because the answer you are not allowed to refactor C code because it would break 5 critical file systems that distros depend on is like not a star, OK.
Yes, in part:

"Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) data show that 50 commercial space launches from 2000 through mid-January 2023 resulted in “mishaps”—the industry term for incidents such as catastrophic explosions and other failures. This represents about 12 percent of 433 launches during the period and caused no fatalities, serious injuries, or significant property damage to the public."

and

"When mishaps occur, FAA can conduct an investigation itself or instead authorize launch operators to lead investigations of their own mishaps under FAA oversight, according to FAA. In practice, however, FAA has authorized operator-led investigations for all mishaps where it had lead investigative authority, GAO found."

Sure, I believe these dividend policies used to be illegal.

I would certainly make it illegal to do share buybacks, and to issue dividends on credit.

Privitisation doesnt really work with the private equity model that has been developed over the last decade, ie., buy a biz on credit and raid its resources.

But i think it's easier to get these laws passed than require a politican investigate resource waste, bad service, etc. in services they are responsible for. The UK gov is structured to disable accountability at every level -- that's a much harder fix.
