Hrm, everyone is different but I wouldn't consider living in a place like that.

PSA: 100 F is 37.7778C. Here is a relatively simple way to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius in your head. You just need to remember three simple facts:

1. 32 F is exactly 0 C. 32 F is a nice round number that most people here probably come across a lot.

2. 50 F is exactly 10 C. Again, a nice and round number.

3. It's a linear relationship.

So every 18 F the temperature goes up by 10 C.
The article talks about this extensively; both the benefits, and the difficulty hiring American workers because of our (I'm assuming "our", but I suppose I don't know, there are plenty of other countries with similar cultural norms) more individual, selfish, culture.
It organises stuff instead of being stuff.

Which is less of a logical conceit, and more metaphysics.

No one knows what quantum fields are made of. There are various ideas (loop quantum gravity, causal dynamical triangulation, others...) but QFT defines what quantum fields do, not what their component parts are at a more fundamental level.
Congrats on launch, fantastic work! The smooth experience is impressive. I launched an online video editor, Chillin - https://chillin.online, which is also WebGL-based and renders very quickly. I'm interested to know if Repaint will migrate to WebGPU, as Chillin is planning to do so. I believe that web apps using WebGPU for rendering can be even faster than native apps!
> The world is not as the scientific rational model would have one believe.

It's not the world that is not rational, it's humans' mind. Doesn't require higher powers, just a glitch in our own matrices.
Hydroelectric plants along the La Grande river in northern Quebec run a substantial part of New York and Boston. The power is transferred across about a thousand miles. Transmission loss is about 10%. Ten percent would be intolerable for fossil fuel generation but a quite acceptable cost in that context, given the generation is so cheap.
Is that so different from an explosion?
I've lived in Phoenix for 30 years. I had no problems with the heat until now. The heat island effect is real; it gets hotter, and stay hotter longer. I was leaving for my daily walks in summer when it dropped to 97°F at around midnight.

If you watch the radar during monsoon season, you'll see the city's heat island cuts through large storm systems like a knife through butter, so the monsoon rains rarely make it here now. With the population growth, the ozone has gotten worse in the summer and the temperature inversions trapping PM2.5 worse in the winter.

Exposure to particulates and ozone are bad for your health. I do not recommend Phoenix for these reasons.

EDIT: I wanted to add, every day I saw our poor USPS postal worker practically melting in that old contraption they call a vehicle. I hope they find a way to keep them cool soon.
The Soviet system only was able to provide basic needs when it decided to overlook the black market. It also allowed farmers to farm owned plots of land and sell their produce as they saw fit. This was the only way to stop the mass starvation.
Why is it supposed to be an investment? If it's sufficiently cheap, it becomes something that you buy because it's useful to you, not because the government is promising you subsidies for life.

Also, the other driving force here is the cost of grid-delivered energy. California is sure working hard on incentivizing solar + storage that way...
Hey, thanks for reaching out! LinkedIn lead gen is definitely an interesting area. While Acedit is mainly focused on interview prep right now, I can see some cool ways we could potentially expand in that direction.

Maybe something like helping users find relevant job listings automatically, or spotting potential connections for referrals. Could be useful to tie that into the interview prep process somehow.

I'm curious about your LinkedIn automation tool. What kind of features are you working on? Always interested in hearing about other devs' projects and experiences.
In context, there's still a right answer; the absolute path used to run the process should always be right, because the Windows locks the file (I'm sure with enough effort this can be made wrong, but I'm also sure that's not trivial).

Really, this discussion just shows the question is the problem; if you're asking "what path was used the launch the process", that's easy to keep track of & always be right. If you're asking "what is the path right now to the file that launched the process", maybe that has no answer.

> Our goal was to create a more accessible and visual tool for citizens to comprehend urban problems and judge the impact of different decisions.

Building atop an old closed source video game isn't as accessible as would be ideal.

What are some open source and open standard starting points for this (other than OpenStreetMap), and how close do they get you?

(I once built something atop Google Earth, which made sense at the time, but I would've loved to be able to do it atop Web browser features we have today, and open source.)
Landfills are the third largest source of atmospheric methane (https://www.epa.gov/land-research/quantifying-methane-emissi...) from human activities, a greenhouse gas worse than CO2.

Methane has a GWP of 27-30 over 100 years (https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/understanding-global-warmin...), meaning it is 27-30 times more effective at trapping heat than CO2.

Sure, I totally agree that you don't always have to give someone the benefit of the doubt.

In context though, it is very unclear that you weren't talking about Musk.

> Well no, if someone is a habitual liar or always wrong, then you're free to assume they are lying or wrong. The ordinary opinion of random people is not a court of law where innocence is presumed.

The GP comment you were replying to specifically mentions giving Elon the benefit of the doubt. Are you implying that you shouldn't give benefit of the doubt to a random person that you deem a habitual liar and therefore assume is always lying or wrong? Or are you implying that Elon is a habitual liar, should be assumed always lying/wrong, and not given the benefit of the doubt?
Resources and time are, obviously, not labor.

Turning commodity grape juice into commodity wine requires no appreciable extra labor compared to the required labor to prevent fermentation.

The grape juice vs. wine is a rather classic counterexample, but it's hardly difficult to come up with any number of other examples of value absent labor.
Start.coop (https://www.start.coop/) comes to mind, but I know I've read about others as well. I don't recall what their exact model is, so it likely doesn't match perfectly with what you're describing.
> Yubikey (at least the old U2F-only ones) don't have anything that you can extract

Newer Yubikeys hold secrets that, if exfiltrated, give you access to accounts.

I assume that if it doesn't already exist, there will be a Cellebrite-like device that governments can plug Yubikeys into to dump keys quickly like they're able to with cell phones.
There's a reason that Apple won't let you enable FIDO keys without having two of them to enroll.
Another way of saying this is: All our electricity needs will be served by solar.

Doubtful once the attack is refined. Their capture requirement of 200 traces is trivially low.

Electrical energy is useful by definition. As indicated in the article, you have to essentially do arbitrage by using “excess” generation to do something that produces value ($), like storing the energy in a battery for later when the grid is more expensive, or to do useful work like make fertilizer, capture carbon, condense water, run your AC extra hard , etc.
In my entire life I have never been able to write more than about 50 words in a row without extreme pain.
Functions and arrow functions have an important difference: arrow functions do not create their own `this`. If you're in a context where a nested function needs to maintain access to the outer function’s `this`, and you don't want to muck with `bind` or `call`, then you need an arrow function.
Where I live, the major consumer of power is cooling. I want to build an underground pool, that each day, during solar peak, I use the excess energy to freeze the water. Then during the evening, use that ice block to cool my house - with only grid power (or battery) required to pump the coolant. It seems like this would be a much cheaper solution than tesla power packs, but doesn’t appear that I can buy this system off the shelf.
I think the person who is selling "cheap" solar will decide it isn't worth it to give you something convenient without additional cost, especially if they are losing money.

They will exit the market all together cause there are other ways to spend money than give away cheap solar.
ZFS Label Borked – Looking for hex help
So, Attempting to expand my ZFS Z10 pool in TrueNAS (yes I know most of you do not like it) caused me to lose two of three drives. I know most say that ZFS labels cannot be fixed, but I believe that you can fix them by fixing the labels in hexadecimal. The data has not been written over I've been digging around trying to find some help. Thoughts - Find the UberBlocks and replicate them (even thought zpool import says it's a no-go), duplicate some label information from the one drive in my pool that mounts as online. I have attempted raid recovery tools and data recovery but even those do not identify how the disks fit into the pool. I'm ready to accept all kinds of flaming comments and maybe a couple of helpful suggestions.
JA-M
Solar energy comes up often on HN, but it is misleading to talk about solar without differentiating between utility grid solar and consumer rooftop solar. Simply put, utility grid solar provides low cost power and consumer rooftop solar does not and will not. The rooftop solar price is usually hidden because no power source has been as subsidized as rooftop solar. Besides direct subsidies, wealthier home owners have often been paid the retail rate for the electricity they sell to the grid which causes higher electricity bills for those who can't afford to put panels on their roof - sort of a reverse Robinhood scheme.
There's a similar tool for building static sites using the zig build system: https://github.com/kristoff-it/zine

They made their own template language on top of html. An interesting outcome of this is that any error in the html, like a missing closing tag, becomes a build time error.
I understood from the article that workers remain working for the coop (possibly in different companies) until they retire, and then, the coop provides them with pensions; so they continue to receive value after retirement.
If you were selling electricity and knew solar would be valueless at a certain point in the day, would you keep building solar?
> and lack of minerals for the plants

Are you doing hydroponics or something? Because the soil has more minerals that you could ever possibly get from water. I mean the ground is where those minerals in regular water come from in the first place.
The "smartest" (measured by IQ/SAT/whatever your favorite broken measure) of the lowest socioeconomic quintile (lowest 20%) almost never do as well (measured by highest academic attainment, monetary holding, etc.) as the "dumbest" of the highest socioeconomic quintile (highest 20%).

A child can have a really high intelligence, but its usage will be compromised if they're always hungry, always sleepy from being saddled with taking care of siblings or afraid of being abused. A child can have lower intelligence but this can be buttressed by spending lots of extra time and tutors which the upper classes have in abundance.

One of the teachers I knew used to have a wag saying: "When you do wrong when you're poor, you get called thick and can look forward to jail. When you do wrong when you're rich, you get forcibly tutored until you're not an embarassment. When you do wrong when you're middle class, you get called ADHD so everybody can ignore you."
agreed. and i suppose that one could balance things out by having fathers do more in other, later parts of childrearing, but given that breastfeeding can only be done by mothers, and there is nothing that can only be done by fathers the odds favor a mothers involvement over the fathers. the fathers involvement is optional, the mothers is required.

one problem being that full time jobs force a choice on who stays at home to take care of the children. because of breastfeeding, in the majority of cases the choice will be the mother. female founders are going to remain an exception until we restructure our work such that the majority of people work no more than 20 hours a week and thereby no longer forcing a choice on who stays at home because both parents would be able to contribute to childrearing without having to stop working. (i was a stay-at-home dad btw, so i have experienced the alternative)
Henry George Game Jam
I realize, of course, that we're 1.5 days into this game jam (ends on 9/8/2024), but that, it inself, demonstrates the unfairness of first-come-first-serve land ownership rights!

This is a game jam about exploring the ideas of Henry George: land value tax, citizen's dividend, anti-Malthusianism, bidding/auction/assessing systems, Ricardo's law of rent, reclaiming greenspace, urban design, you know, everything that the LVT would solve.

Where do you get your notion of “expensive” from? Expensive compared to what?

Solar panels are dropping precipitously in price. If solar installation companies had better incentives and less scammy behavior, or if you DIY’d your solar setup, it is hard to beat on price lately. As the article indicates, grid-connected solar is quickly approaching an end state, after which battery storage and opportunistic “excess” usage or transfer will be more important.
>This requires the attacker to steal your key. When that happens, by the time they can get the secret key I've already revoked it.

You're held in custody, detained, arrested, etc while your keys are dumped and accounts are accessed. You don't have the opportunity to revoke it without risking prison time.

This situation can happen if you simply choose to fly or visit another country.
> This all started because Elon Musk actively chose to give voice to specific known terrorists

Source? They appear to be public figures, including a sitting senator. If they were terrorists why weren't they arrested and their phones taken away? Instead we get secret orders to censor. Curious to see your research on this.

The judge seems to have a history of calling things fake news because he's corrupt, there's no due process, he's the censorship czar.

> what do you expect when you refuse to obey a court order? Arrests happen for that in America too

When Iran or China does things like this, it's because Iran and China are bad. When Twitter stands up for censorship, it's "shut up and obey the local authority, just follow the orders".

Recent example of Iran where the tone of the comments is not "you deserve what you get for not following the law"

Yes and no; the borrow checker requires that mutable references are exclusive, which combined with ownership semantics means that it isn't possible to construct references that overlap if either is mutable. This is only in "safe" Rust though; inside an a`unsafe` block (or an `unsafe` function, which can only be called in an unsafe block) certain invariants are relaxed, with the requirement that they need to hold again at the close of the block to avoid undefined behavior.

In practice, that means that when writing your own code, you can (and in the vast majority of cases should) just stick to safe Rust, and you can be sure that you won't ever make overlapping references if either one is mutable. Safe APIs can be built on top of unsafe APIs though, so you won't necessarily be able to assume your dependencies are doing the same (although there's tooling to help with that, e.g. requiring via the config to generate a build error if any dependency uses unsafe code)
If one has grid-scale storage, there are many more efficient ways to do electricity generation.

Hydroelectric, in existing geological reservoirs, are the only grid-scale "battery" that currently exists. The primary reason they are not more popular is because not many reservoirs exist right next to major power consuming locales.
Something like this was inevitable. Starlink cannot operate in Brazil without consent from regulators because it licenses radio spectrum from the people of Brazil. Starlink is also required (in all operating jurisdictions) to cooperate with law enforcement to filter or intercept customer traffic.

It seems incredibly unlikely to me.

It's more likely all physics is argument by analogy from limited human experiences, and math is just a culturally consistent subset of that.

What look like genius predictions are mostly (Einstein aside...) generations of post docs throwing equations at their whiteboards to see what sticks.

A few happen to be confirmed by experiment. Most are quietly forgotten.

I strongly suspect we literally can't begin to imagine what's really going on.
Lots of people like what they consider mid-sized option in both categories. Certainly many of us who buy what are considered in the US mid-sized SUVs have no desire to upsize.
Someone sure did put a lot of work into this. I can appreciate that.
That said, as a musician, I’d prefer if someone just told me the key and progression, or just started playing and I could jump in. I’m not that good with colors.
Yes, because arbitrage opportunities exist by way of battery, or local uses of the negative-price-if-sold-to-grid generation.

The mechanism and data (both historic and current) are more concrete than other theories of consciousness I'm aware of (although I'm no expert).

Consciousness might not be as essential to the human experience as is generally believed now a days.
What percentage of the day are we really engaged in conscious rational thought anyways? And is it really what makes us human, or do subconscious processes play a much bigger role in the human experience than reason?
> Creating fresh water from sea water is extremely energy intensive, but there's nothing easier to store than giant bodies of water.

You also generate brine, you know, and that is its own environmental disaster that must be disposed of. In addition, maintenance of facilities in contact with salt water is murderously labor intensive.

Desalinization is economically useful up until you provide everybody with drinking water. Once you pass that point, desalinization is way, way, way less useful.
That will work well when one or two people in most of those houses are commuting, dropping kids at school, and/or running errands at about the same time. /s I fully expect that autonomous vehicles at some point will marginally expand the ranks of people who are marginal car owners and will just effectively taxi. But if you have daily use that Uber/taxis doesn't solve, regularly use a personal car to drive places, have your vehicle configured for things like care seats for kids, etc. you'll do without full autonomy in favor of presumably improved automation in your personal vehicle.

I can’t speak to op’s emotional well being, but he is spot on with his reasoning. In the rarified air that most of us here inhabit, it’s easy to forget that for every college professor there is someone for whom tying their shoes is a significant cognitive challenge. For every really smart person, there is someone who lacks the cognition to participate meaningfully in society. For every brilliant individual, there is someone whose mental capacity puts them in need of lifelong care.

The bell curve is a bitch.

The average person just gets by and doesn’t think all that much about anything outside of their immediate surroundings. For most, politics and such is a team sport, not an intellectual pursuit.

It’s an uncomfortable fact of life, and those that have talents and gifts above the norm are by default responsible for guiding and advancing society. We ignore that burden at the peril of all.
