We could, I guess, with some biochemical wizardy. Insulin does more than just reduce blood glucose, though. It allows the glucose to enter muscle and brain cells to be used for energy. People with Type 1 need just as many carbs and as much energy as other people, of course, it's just that their body can't use it properly. Insulin does have the drawback of being a fat storage hormone though. Such a device sure would be great for people who indulge in too many carbs!
Think these days we should really be talking more about storage than panels.

And I don’t mean lithium batteries. More things like molten salt and sand batteries - things that require a bit of planning and infra that is reliant on rare metals etc

Any pointers for floating PV seasonal mechanism?

With a 5m high prism, and panels along ONE face, how do you get seasonal adjustment of the panels tilt angle.

An adjustable/inflatable ballast seems the simplest?
Starlink is widely used in deforestation and mining in Brazil. Elon Musk personally flew to Brazil to promote it (with Balsenero?), despite the predictions that Starlink would be used that way. The political pitch was that schools in the far reaches would use it - that has measurably failed to materialize. Meanwhile, Federal raids on gold mining operations show Starlink transceivers routinely.

> In the case of transformers all they can do is, in fact, sample from a compression of historical texts using a weighted probability metric.

You seem to think LLMs operate independently from humans. That doesn't happen in practice. We prompt LLMs, they don't just sample at random. We teach them new skills, share media and stories with them, work, learn and play together. It's not LLMs alone. They are pulled outside their training distribution by the user. The user brings their own unique life experience into the interaction.
I think the metaphor is pretty clear in the movie
It sounds like your algorithm targets children with unmoderated content. That feels like a dangerous position with potential for strong arguments in either direction. I think the only reasonable advice here is to keep close tabs on this case.
You're suggesting land costs are the key here, but orbital solar beaming energy down as microwaves to earth need giant antenneas similar in land area to a solar farm as recievers. So there is no land advantage to offset the other costs.
I don't know if this configuration works for me, but unlike a lot of people here I have used Raspberry Pi's in robots. The 5's power consumption is such that it is a problem. The jensen nano is no longer supported. So maybe there is a "thingaverse" need for something more powerful then a pico /arduino but not so power hungry.
All large platforms already enact EU law over US law. Moderation is required of all online services which actively target EU users in order to shield themselves from liability for user generated content. The directive in question is 2000/31/EC and is 24 years old already. It's the precursor of the EU DSA and just like it, 2000/31/EC has extraterritorial reach.
Ask HN: Best Anti-Glare Solution for 32-Inch Monitor?
Looking for recommendations on effective anti-glare screens or filters for a 32-inch monitor. I’m dealing with significant glare from sunlight coming through windows, which is causing headaches. The office setup is such that I can’t change the monitor's position. While blackout curtains help, I prefer to work in a natural light environment. Open to buying a new monitor if it has a good built-in anti-glare solution. Please provide some solutions.
Yes! I'd love to be able to filter by systems capable of running open source firmware.
I don't doubt the same court relishes the thought of deciding what "harm" is on a case-by-case basis. The continued politicization of the courts will not end well for a society that nominally believes in the rule of law. Some quarters have been agitating for removing §230 safe harbor protections (or repealing it entirely), and the courts have delivered.

Maybe he should look into X as well.

Two weeks ago I started using an account created in the early times which I never used.

It is so extremely full of Republican and pro-Trump propaganda, that this just can't be normal. It made me so angry that started following a lot of Democrats in hopes of X realizing that I don't want to read all those Republican posts.

Did not help. I could swear that Elon is pushing Republican posts to an extreme.

I can't say what it's like on Linux or Windows, but the Duck browser is pretty good. It's my second choice.

On Macs and iOS, and iPadOS, it's clunkier than Safari, but less clunky than Firefox.

Perhaps the Windows experience is similar.
You sure are if you knew about it (like tiktok was)
It could be difficult to draw the line. I assume TikTok’s suggestions are deterministic enough that an identical user would see the same things - it’s just incredibly unlikely to be identical at the level of granularity that TikTok is able to measure due to the type of content and types of interactions the platform has.

I use FF on Android and Linux. I've restricted cookies and use an ad-blocker. I browse many popular (and unpopular) websites. I can't remember the last one which refused to work because I was on Firefox.
- left for a 2.5x salary bump after 1.5 years

- that place ran out of money after 1.5 years

- back at the original place, but got bored after 6 years

- let a recruiter talk me into a potentially more interesting place even if it paid less, left before hitting the 4-month mark for 2x more money

- left after 2+ years because the boss was a ginormous asshole and I was colleagues with Hamas (UN)

I regret step 3. As I was leaving there, a colleague asked me, bewildered: "why don't you just do side projects if everything's so easy and you're so bored?" And he was fucking right. I'd be done with work by noon Tuesday and then go tinker on some open source thing on Github or write on Medium or saw stuff at the country place. And so much more money would roll right in every year.
Ah well I guess I don't understand the relevance of that. Even if you for example have infinite time, doesn't it still make sense a person might be motivated to attain wealth in order to give themselves more freedom in how they spend their life w/o needing to consider affording the survival needs?
There are many tips here: https://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/2096876 but I think the thing that did the trick was simply `powertop —-auto-tune`. I also disabled the wifi in the bios. I ran for a bit with turbo disabled which lowered the consumption a tiny bit and severely limited the peak usage, but it also made the system slow overall. So I enabled it again and now sometimes usage spikes but feels snappy. I’m running Fedora.

Firefox should really camouflage its user agent, or make it trivial to do so.
Allow up to 1 apartment or 3 separate units of house ownership per person. And only allow 1 unit vacant per apartment after the initial year after the construction, or multiple units up to 3 months per 5 years (must be simultaneous in all affected units with a tolerance of 15 days from either side to the simultaneity, no tolerance to the per-unit duration, or should be considered intentional vacancy) for maintenance and remodelling.
No, although it used (not sure if it still does) to encourage people to enable backups. On Android I believe the default was Google Drive, so you'd have people send their chats to Google in plain text.

iMessages is another example of a secure service that lets users "break" encryption. As soon we enable cloud features for it to work across devices, the key is uploaded to iCloud, essentially making chats plain text to Apple.
Curiously, I've had the exact same problem when I was in Britain. At Heathrow Airport. They would not announce which gate flights leave from until ~20 minutes before boarding.

Considering there's no 'crush risk' in this scenario, what even is the point of it? In the end I just used any of the myriad of online sites that list flight data to know which gate I needed to head to 1.5 hours before everyone else, and got to enjoy some peace and quiet.
Why is PC BIOS still such an absolute shit show?
Seemingly similar products from the same brand will have wildly different BIOS options and functions.
Want to auto power on? Good luck with support for that being documented anywhere, and even if it is documented, the odds that the actual unit supports it is 50/50 at best it seems.
Want to customize boot options? You may or may not get the options you need.
Fan speed controls, clocking options. Every unit seemingly has been shipped with its own unique set of BIOS options supported, no two are ever the same.
I don’t know a max 15 layers seems pretty clear to me. You’ll ask for 15 passwords and if not furnished, the wrench.

There is no concept of "slave" in git, there are no "slave" branches. That concept has never existed in git's source code. It's master like "master recording".
Yes it does miss the point. Panels are no longer the expensive part of solar. The expensive part is now things like labour, installation, and land acquisition, and bringing those costs down is going to be hard.

Authorities in the US, EU and (IIRC) Japan had expressed anti-trust concerns (threats?) about the original plan. The UK CMA is the only one of those that had a formal complaint, and thus ended up with a veto right on the new design.

Revelio: A Technology Looking for a Solution
I'm the founder of Revelio, an early-stage startup. We developed a technology to enrich TV viewing by embedding meta-information invisibly in videos accessible by pointing a smartphone (app) to the screen and extracting the hidden information. Just like scanning a QR code, except there is no QR code.

We initially targeted the streaming TV market but found it challenging to break into. We approached several YouTubers to help us launch and tested with them, but they were hesitant to take the plunge with us. The concerns were mainly around preservation of video quality (we are working hard to make our watermark almost imperceptible across any type of video) and viewers needing to download yet-another-app.

We're now focusing on digital watermarking for video piracy and generative AI applications. The video piracy space is quite crowded, and though Automatic-Content-Recognition currently uses fingerprinting, we see potential in a watermark-based approach. We're also exploring how watermarks could enhance generative AI—whether by ensuring provenance or possibly making the genAI-video training pipeline more efficient. One question we're considering is whether a watermark could prevent a genAI model from using a video in training -- it basically learns to replicate the watermark because (a very big) may be the videos are heavily downscaled before giving it to the AI model and then the watermark becomes fairly visible. The genAI-video model can circumvent it, but it would have to pre-process and remove the watermark, which adds to its cost.

I'd love to get insights from the community as we continue to navigate these challenges. Any suggestions, feedback and ideas would be highly appreciated.

> GROUP AND ORDER BY component_id DESC;

This feels like too much. GROUP BY and ORDER BY are separate clauses, and creating a way to group (heh) them in one clause complicates cognitive load, especially when there is an effort to reduce the overall effort to parse the query in your mind (and to provide a way for an intellisense-like system a way to make better suggestions).

GROUP AND ORDER BY x DESC;

vs

GROUP BY x;
ORDER BY x DESC;

This long form is 1 word longer, but, it easier to parse in your mind, and doesn't introduce unneeded diffs when changing either the GROUP or the ORDER BY column reference.
Wonderful reference and a piece of writing I've always held dear to my heart, thank you. Absolutely true about min/maxing the fun out of a game as well, although for some people, I don't doubt that is the fun.

>> thinking of somewhere in northern Canada.

Canada is vast and in some places very rugged. "Remote" and "northern" are not related terms. Just look at BC on google maps. Look at the bit of vancouver island that is south of the US border. That is some very remote terrain, but is no way northern. Then scan up into the BC coast. Just a few hundred miles from downtown Vancouver and not a single road to be found. Or start at Whistler and pan west. Hundred of miles of mountains with nothing more than the occasional logging road.
While I agree with you on the general idea, I think this is too restrictive:

> A specification language does not tell a machine what operations to perform, a programming language does.

There is a style of programming (usually functional or relational programming) that does not bother itself with operations, and which aims to merely describe a result. Specifications are still different from implementations written in such a style of programming.
Firefox is usually great for me, but with Chromium-based browsers having such a massive market share monopoly I do occasionally find a website that doesn't work properly on Firefox. But, I will stick with Firefox as long as possible.

Infrastructure-wise, roads come before water or electricity, and so plenty of the United States has a road but no power or water. This can even be standard for those who are near civilization.
No problem. :)

Possibly yes! If I had a project running in production with a team this seems very valuable as another layer of defense. With these kinds of scanning tools however, they are quickly ignored if they tend to emit noise. If at all possible (from a cost perspective) I'd focus on launching a free version for open source projects complete with a badge to add to the readme. Similar to other Linting/CI projects. Might help gain a bunch of traction in the short term, and if it's free folks may be likely to add it and leave it even if the accuracy isn't perfect which may be nice marketing for y'all.

The HN moderation team makes a lot of editorial choices, which is what gives HN its specific character. For example, highly politically charged posts are manually moderated and kept off the main page regardless of votes, with limited exceptions entirely up to the judgement of the editors. For example, content about the wars in Ukraine and Israel is not allowed on the mainpage except on rare occasions. dang has talked a lot about the reasoning behind this.

The same applies to comments on HN. Comments are not moderated based purely on legal or certain general "good manners" grounds, they are moderated to keep a certain kind of discourse level. For example, shallow jokes or meme comments are not generally allowed on HN. Comments that start discussing controversial topics, even if civil, are also discouraged when they are not on-topic.

Overall, HN is very much curated in the direction of a newspaper "letter to the editor" section, then more algorithmic and hands-off like the Facebook wall or TikTok feed. So there is no doubt whatsoever, I believe, that HN would be considered responsible for user content (and is, in fact, already pretty good at policing that in my experience, at least on the front page).

Solar power is the future. The drop in price in the last 20 years is absolutely wild. The charts in this article show this. What's encouraging is that it's pretty steady progress. It's hard to predict when or where that ends.

Batteries continue to get cheaper (also covered). This matters too because storing energy solves the base load "problem". Batteries aren't the only way to store energy either. There continue to be advances in the so-called "power-to-gas" technology, where you essentially use excess power to make fuel, usually from CO2 in the air. This isn't currently economic but it continues to get cheaper. It also provides an upper ceiling on how expensive gas can get.

The LCOE of nuclear in particular is damning [1]. Every single commercial nuclear power reactor has been built with government subsidies too so it doesn't seem like government support is the issue. There are still too many unsolved problems.

Solar is the only method of direct power generation. I think every other method inovles turning a steam turbine. There are no moving parts. They can be installed on everything from wristwatches to power stations to satellites.

> For example, if someone else with the exact same selections gets the same results, then that's not their platform deciding what to show.

This could very well be true for TikTok. Of course "selection" would include liked videos, how long you spend watching each video, and how many videos you have posted

And on the flip side a button that brings you to a random video would supply different content to users regardless of "selections".
Well, the TSA has been tested for their ability to detect weapons being brought through security screenings, and they were absolutely horrible at it. Can't grab a link at the moment, but if you search for it, you'll easily find the report published... by the TSA.

I find your comment a little hard to parse - can you provide a link to something more specific about what you are claiming the Brazilian Supreme Court did that was corrupt? I didn't see anything obvious on the wikipedia page.
Also... can you expand this to comments? Doesn't seem too different from logs. And then add in the fairly obvious auto-PR logic with the ability to respond to PR comments and now you're eliminating maintenance burden. Caveat: I dunno if anyone else is doing this, but this seems like a promising step.

Still easily said, since I don't use the websites for any of those things anyway. If it's really important, or involves very sensitive personal information, I'm not doing it on the web.

There are extensions that make this very trivial.
