I have a lennox heat pump in my house and the main thermostat controller went out a few months ago.

Lennox uses a proprietary system like this one but the old school controls were visible on the control boards and due to a freak accident when an installer was levelling the floors for new flooring and cut the old wire I had a 5 wire thermostat wire installed instead of the 4 wire it came with.

Perfect.

$50 thermostat, wired it in. Powers on. Fan powers on. A/C condenser? Nada.

Official replacements were $700+, upgrades were $800.

Checked around, found an offerup seller selling the upgraded model for $400. Deal.

Met the guy, he gave strong, "I stole this, don't ask too many questions" vibes at first glance, and I was about to back out of the deal, but something clicked in my gut and I went with it.

Got it home, wired it up. Fan turns on. No AC. @#$@!#$%@#$^

On a hunch, went outside and checked the power for the heat exchanger. I had unplugged it for safety reasons but plugged it back in afterward, but gave it the snuggy test just in case.

Sparks shot out as it re-engaged. It's Alive!

The $50 one might have done the job, but no point in re-rewiring the whole shebang as the money is already spent.

If this system goes down, I'm going mini-split ductless. Forget this noise.

It is some latest physics theories that there isn't a 4th Time dimension, and the universe is moving from one state to the next.

Did we see the same video ?

The rust guys were just asking for semantic information about the current C apis so they could try to encode them into the type system.

All they got in response to that were made up problems of them supposedly forcing everyone to adopt their religion, rust being too OOP or other nitpicks that had nothing to do with the issue the presenters were trying to talk about.

Nobody even answered their questions, people which obviously didn't even look at rust for more than an hour gave their opinion on why what they're doing is bad and destined to fail. It was rude, tone-deaf and not a single technically sound argument was actually made.

I love linux and I'm fine with the maintainers deciding to use C if they want to, but the behavior by the old guard here was actually appalling and reeks of deep insecurity and inability to communicate.

Isn't it just that when borrowed cash is free the real risk to your oligopoly is startups doing something dramatically better and stealing your lunch? In that environment the strategy is not about limiting the pay rung jump among the established players, it's about keeping the people talented enough to successfully do a startup from actively looking at that much harder path because buying successful startups is way more expensive than moderately overpaying a few tens of thousands of people.

In a higher interest environment the startup money dries up a lot so the risk to your oligopoly is much lower and the demand for yield on your stock increases dramatically so you worry less about a startup and more about maximizing value from your work force (which leads to lower pay on average and layoffs to rightsize), plus the cost of buying a successful startup will be lower because the discount factor from the higher interest rate caps price expansion.

Right now it's where we specify which rules to apply to a repo when analysing and improving, plus any user-specific tweaks which we do splice in to prompts (still working on exactly how to balance freedom + necessary rails here). The rules themselves are sets of logic in their own right – essentially a mix of static code analysis to carefully prepare context for an LLM to reason over. This makes me think the UI for the standards page probably needs to be more binary with respect to the rules (then freeform for user prefs) - would that make more sense in your opinion?
I believe in Brazil the ultimate authority on the interpretation of the constitution is the one who has told Twitter what they need to do. Such a court saying "your interpretation is wrong, this is what the law says" is by definition the local law to which they need to abide by.

Disobeying that court order means breaking the local law of the land. It is completely fair to ask the question why Twitter seems willing to argue that the courts in one country are wrong and the courts in another country are right, when both courts perhaps seem to violate their own constitution. What is their fundamental principle to choose when they declare a court empowered to interpret its own constitution is doing it wrong?

(I'll note that part of Mike Masnick's excellent speedrunning content moderation is a step noticing that it's not actually a good idea to abide by all countries' local laws, because many countries have local laws that people would get upset at you for abiding by.)

It might be worth one more shot ^_^ I've (unexpectedly) found myself writing a book on modern Java practices (after years at $megacorp), so I think there's some stuff people miss about what's going on lately.

> the language was still stuck in the 90s

The folks who lead Java are doing an awesome job of tugging Java out of the E N T E R P R I S E 90s and into a more "modern" direction (all without breaking backwards compatibility). The long tail legacy will always be there, but the language is rapidly evolving and picking up new modeling and QoL tools.

>There are no easy ways to build abstractions so it's all annotation upon annotation or back to design patterns of composition / inheritance.

This is still a common belief, but it misses some of the cool stuff happening in Java lately. Sealed interfaces and records are amazing data modeling tools.

Those features snuck Algebraic Data Types into the stuffy "90s" enterprise language. Records (product types) and sealed interfaces (sum types) make modeling things pretty seamless. Sure, it isn't Haskell, but it's powerful and, compared to the old way of doing things, phenomenally terse and expressive.

>Do not even get me started with Gradle/Maven where declaring a custom task is a mini project.

Ok. Agree entirely here. Every Java build tool makes me want to pull my hair out. Honestly, even after years of using Gradle, I stil have no idea how to use Gradle. I poke things until it works.

>everything is mutable

Another thing that's changed / changing! Records are shallowly immutable by default. Value classes are on the way (currently a JEP). The collection interfaces are now "null hostile" when you go through the value-oriented constructors. There are lots of ways of controlling mutability in the langauge. Java has evolved into something that lets you control whether you want to talk about identity objects or value objects.

>anything can be null

I've found this is, generally speaking, not a huge issue in modern code. It can be mostly mitigated by convention in code you control. However, definitely an ongoing pain point when interfacing with 3rd party libraries. There are lots of @NonNull annotation processors, but I think they're mostly bad tools. Having null hostility at the compiler level would be a awesome next feature in java (fingers crossed).

>Most people stick with it because "achitects" (who coded last in 2011) like it and/or people have not tried any other modern programming language and stick with the tried and tested

FWIW, I use all kinds of cool "modern" languages (Purescript, Idris, Clojure, etc.). I also use run-of-the-mill stuff like Python. Even with that familiarity, I still think Java is a good fit for many projects. It's boring. It's reliable. Everybody can learn it. Everyone can be trained to write it well (i.e. in a "modern" style). The JVM is rock solid. It's a great language for stuff that just works and doesn't page you at night.
If I as a forum administrator delete posts by obvious spambots, am I making an editorial judgment that makes me legally liable for every single post I don’t delete?

If my forum has a narrow scope (say, 4×4 offroading), and I delete a post that’s obviously by a human but is seriously off‐topic (say, U.S. politics), does that make me legally liable for every single post I don’t delete?

What are the limits here, for those of us who unlike silicon valley corporations, don’t have massive legal teams?
No, 230 is not overturned.

The original video is still the original poster's comment, and thus still 230 protected. If the kid searched specifically for the video and found it, TikTok would have been safe.

However, TikTok's decision to show the video to the child is TikTok's speech, and TikTok is liable for that decision.

Rocko makes it easy to borrow against your crypto through top DeFi protocols. This avoids a ton of the risk associated with traditional collateralized loans that caused many competitors in the space to drop out over the past few years.

All collateral is locked transparently in audited protocol smart contracts, funds are secured through a self custodial wallet that only the user has access to, and loans are all denominated in USD with flexible rates determined by the protocol based on supply/demand.

Our vision is to build one marketplace that allows borrowers to the easily access the best rates from any number of protocols, networks, and crypto assets.

We want to make DeFi easy for everyone.

Curious to hear thoughts from the community, feature requests, or personal experience in the past with a crypto backed loan?
Yes, I loved Flash and ActionScript as a designer, but later viewed it as indistinguishable from malware as an IT support tech. It was frankly the worst, in terms of security whack-a-mole, and because it required patching so frequently, opened up a ton of genuinely malicious actors who could trick even competent people into clicking and installing malware.

I also prefer many Emacs instances. It simplifies some things like e.g. making Emacs packages aware of Python virtual environments if you can just run a separate Emacs instance per environment, instead of stuff like direnv.el.
Yep, the builds are in Scala, but you dont need to be an expert any more than you need to be a groovy expert to use gradle. Anyone with programming experience should hopefully be able to learn enough to be productive with Mill without needing to get to deep (or at least that's what I hope to achieve!)

1) Those fixed costs go down with more distributed generation. No need for large solar farms in a different zip code if many customers have it on their roof.

2) Many/most utilities don't pay retail rates for excess power, so there's already profit built into the arrangement with solar customers.

3) You didn't address a utility charging monthly fixed fees based on income.
After a measurement, the wave function of a particle, and of any particles entangled with it, collapses. But this isn't itself a measurable difference.

For example, when performing measurements on two entangled particles at very far away places, the wave function collapses instantly, across any distance, even light years away. After that experiment, the result on the other side is 100% determined (if performed in the same basis). But there is no experiment whatsoever that could be done to tell if the collapse has happened or not from the other side.

This is the resolution of the famous EPR paradox: wave function collapse is non-local (instantaneous), but it is probably impossible to send classical information with it faster than the speed of light limit.
I think the Operator pattern will grow to become exactly what you describe. We're still at the early stage of that, but I can see that a group of operators could become a "distribution", in your example.

There’s no denying it. This task is intellectual. Does not involve rote memorization. There are not tons and tons of data pairs on the web of minimized code and unminified code for llms to learn from.

The llm understands what it is unminifying and it is in general superior to humans on this regard. But only in this specific subject.

> why price of electricity continues to rise despite decreasing production costs.

That's economics 201. The price of a commodity is the cost of the marginal producer. So it doesn't matter how cheap some producers are, the price of a commodity is set by the most expensive producer that is meeting demand. So price of electricity won't drop until cheap producers can meet 100% of demand.

Until that happens, cheap producers enjoy outsized profits, encouraging more cheap producers to join the market.

Interesting perspective. Some of it I agree with, but not all of it.

What are your top 3 abstractions that are hard or impossible in Java?

> Do not even get me started with Gradle/Maven where declaring a custom task is a mini project.

Agree on Maven, but the criticism I most often hear for Gradle is that it actually makes it too easy to define custom tasks (mainly from people who like the standardization provided by the stricter Maven guardrails).

> [...] anything can be null, no easy way for structured concurrency and everything is mutable. Top that with verbosity [...]

Maybe check back in a couple of years, many of these are in the process of being addressed!
Great catch - we didn't include that rule in the demo but it's in the works. To share our thinking a little more: analysing the contents of the statement is easiest (but still quite hard) so we're nailing that down. Analysing the level requires a bit more careful understanding of what the method/code around it is attempting and where this logging statement sits (harder still). Soon we hope to nail adding statements to fresh code (where we'd have to understand where to put them, what the level should be, and then the contents).
Open source developers have spent far more time to develop the truly free stack that Meta uses to power its business in the first place.

If you scrape a large enough part of the internet, you're naturally going to get extremely illegal training data that you won't effectively filter out. I guarantee you that at least a tiny bit of highly classified information was not filtered out of most LLM training data (it wasn't found during the filter step), and it's quite remarkable that this and the above revelations have not led to anyone being Subpoena'd or related in regards to it.
