I can personally report that at 5A draw(the highest reported from any of my flashlights), these spring battery terminals still don't get hot. I'm not sure why I would need/want to push 10A to each battery? Drawing 5A already requires select cells.

I would rather batteries be field swapable than having a faster charge, which I try to avoid for the sake of their longevity anyway, personally.
Do you believe all livestreaming platforms combined have more views than youtube sans-livestream videos? I highly doubt that.
You can create a real product with apecs lol. It is not going to block an indie game written in Haskell with it, for instance. And you could totally use it to write simulations for stuff too.

Also from the apecs README:

Sounds like that "woefully slow" judgment of yours wasn't based in any real experience but rather just your opinion?
I was confused too, but another comment here links to a video demo. That gave me enough clues to realize that you start off in a "notepat" app in this "computer." You can click "notepat" to go back to a prompt. At the prompt, you can type "list" to list all the commands. (I noticed there are aliases as well, like if you type "help" you actually go to "chat".) The demo shows a few things you can do, and probably you're meant to explore the other apps to see how things work.
I mean, from what I can read online, it seemed the practice was generally regarded as market manipulation prior to 1982 and so was de facto illegal. So yeah, thanks Reagan indeed. There are good reasons to blame him for his part in the current state of affairs.
Some Writing Advice: Don't Take Others' Advice (2019)
We do have that. A designated "Wilderness Area" is the most strict classification. Restrictions in these areas (which cover large majorities of our national parks) are:

- No motorized vehicles

- No permanent buildings - this even means bathrooms and bear boxes many places. Stephen Mather Wilderness (North Cascades National Park) is currently doing surveys asking about if they should install more of them or add more bathrooms.

- Limited trail signage

- No "trammeling" which essentially means: don't mess with natural processes.

These Wilderness Areas are very different from Federal Recreation Areas, yet you can still "recreate" in a Wilderness area seeking solitude and nature.

Musk was a minority investor when SpaceX was founded in 2002? Who were the other owners and how much did they own?
Sure, and cpus supporting it will proliferate. Shockingly to no one reading hacker news... Both software and hardware continue to improve with time generally speaking. This was a huge software improvement on hardware that supports that functionality. It is a huge win for anyone wanting to use these algorithms where they can afford hardware that supports it.

We should celebrate Amazon's improvements and we should celebrate these improvements. Both are great for the future of technology, regardless of why they were initially developed. Improving tech and keeping it open source is good for all.

The investments OP is referring to are almost certainly the CapEx investments related to opening new fabs and the aggressive push to launch new leading edge nodes.

Yes, layoffs suck, but Intel seems to be in a position where something had to give, and giving up on building a leading edge fab would almost certainly lead to a death spiral. Additionally, Intel was and still is a huge company. They have more employees than TSMC & AMD combined (an imperfect comparison, but probably as close as one can get).
I feel designated wilderness areas (at least in my state, CO) could benefit from MORE regulation because they are trammeled to hell by cattle. Additional protections only improve these areas.

Also, I did not realize the Wilderness designation had anything to do with indigenous Americans. Is that a thing?

You jest, but it’s easy to retort using their same phrasing

“that sounds gendered” and if it leads to them being unable to distinguish why it isn’t, then you get to call them sexist and they're out of your way and the company forever, you get to morph it to something more entertaining and libido inclusive

alternate path is to talk about the importance of consent, nonconsensual objectification is bad, every objectionable action is okay if its consensual

third path is to point out how they cant speak for the women involved, or how they neglected to elevate the voices of those most affected. many of which are very prideful of their work and are waiting for that kind of representation and allyship. the bonus here is that there likely are secret sex workers in your organization already, and they’ll reveal that to you after you use their even more progressive phrasing against the misandrist
Being able to do “stuff a human is capable of doing” used to be the definition of “artificial intelligence” and until very recently it was seen as a dream that may never happen. And it hasn't completely happened yet BTW, there are still plenty of trivial stuff LLM can't do just because there's no available training data for that. Also their ability to do “reasoning” or few-shot-learning is overhyped (even if impressive).

If your definition of AI has become “superhuman intelligence” then it's definitely moving goalposts. And regaarding my initial remark, AI isn't going to do “faster than the speed of light” MPEG decoding ever, all physical limits apply to it.
I had football jerseys with my favorite player's name on them growing up and I'd look up to my birthday to see if I got one or I had to wait another year. This seems like an arbitrary decision.

On the assumption that there is a relationship (believed to be) involved: yeah, I would say so. Streamers (often) have a chat, actual interaction is possible in a way movies do not allow.

The closest equivalent you would get with a movie is to send fan-mail and get a response. Which people do, but I think it's safe to claim the frequency is much lower.

Kurt Vonnegut wrote in a couple of places about how recording and mass reproduction destroyed the social (and monetary) value of small-time creative or artistic-expression talent, like knowing how to play the piano OK or being a pretty-good singer or dancing decently well, or being a quite good (but not top 0.1% good) storyteller, or being fairly good at sketching people.

Took social, and perhaps making-a-living value almost totally away from anything but tip-top talent in those areas. Nobody in your family needs you to play music at get-togethers and parties—you’re worse and less-convenient than thousands of artists on Spotify. They don’t wonder with excitement what sort of sketches Uncle Robert will bring to the next holiday, to give to his extended family. At best, that kind of thing’s indulged and tolerated now. The demand is all but entirely gone.

I reckon it was a real belief of his, given he wrote of it more than once, and whose voice it was put in, the one specific case I can call. There’s a chapter in Bluebeard about it for sure (that novel’s kind of a whirlwind tour of most of the major themes and points of Vonnegut’s work—dunno if it was intended that way, but that’s how it turned out) and I know I saw it other places, can’t recall which books.

This is a clear example of why personal privacy is important for everybody—not just people who are high-profile or in certain fields of work.

These people ended up paying avoidable expenses due to voluntarily sharing information that they were not required to disclose, which was used to change their health-care plan without consent.

A lack of individual privacy can cost people real money. In this case, this resulted in unnecessary costs for essential medical care.

So we agree on most important factor. You can get a great espresso from 5 times cheaper machine. This is what I was claiming. Price / performance, not worthy.

I only see power requirements (1300 W) but no mention of voltage or frequency requirements---not even in the user guide. The pricing in € hints that the creators are in 240/1/50-land, and that I'm out-of-luck in the 120/1/60 wastes of North America. It's a shame, because I'm very much the target demographic for a kit like this. One could transform it from 120 V or run it on our 240 V split-phase with an isolation transformer of course, but running the A/C pump 20% faster might be dubious.

As an aside, I'm frustrated for the same reason regarding induction cooktops. European units are a fraction of the cost of their American equivalents.
> The ability to evaluate code interactively without recompilation

SBCL and other implementations compile code to machine code then execute it. That is to say, when a form is submitted to the REPL, the form is not interpreted, but first compiled then executed. The reason execution finishes quickly is because compilation finishes quickly.

There are some implementations, like CCL, with a special interpreter mode exclusively for REPL-usage.[1] However, at least SBCL and ECL will compile code, not interpret.

20A was an internal only node, so the only potential "customer demand" was from Intel itself. If they are confident enough to release their 20A products on 18A instead, there is no real reason to keep 20A in development.
I think the size of the crowd matters here. Streaming feels more personal because you are doing it by yourself and the total number of people watching the same stream is probably quite small. You could even message them and they might respond. It's more personal than watching a movie or TV show. On a slightly grosser level you know deep down that there is zero chance of ever hooking up with Megan Fox, but with a random OF model that feels like it might be possible. Even if it really isn't.

An interesting comparison is K-Pop singers who are at the same time megastars with millions of devoted followers, but also carefully managed to always seem available for a relationship. A truly difficult bridge to cross, but they somehow do it and make bank.
But how come she ignored the fact that the root cause of all of that was the captors? I think that's the crazy part.

No it's not, western Europe for example has a bunch of countries where English is almost as good as native. But obviously that's not the common case across the world, and like you say there's nothing wrong with expecting people to know the local language.
> Can we keep growing by a few percentage points a year for the next few centuries? Yeah, probably

2 percent a year for 200 years (the minimum rate and years that could count as a few) is a multiplier or around 52.

For population that would give about 400 billion.

> Can we do that until the heat death of the universe and beyond? Probably not.

For population and energy we hit severe physical limits long before that.

At 1% annual growth in population in 12000 years we run out room. What I mean by "run out of room" is that assuming no FTL travel then since every human right now is on Earth or in low Earth orbit no human 12000 years from now can be more than 12000 light years from Earth. The volume of a sphere 12000 light years in radius, divided by the population after 12000 years of 1% growth, is less than the volume of a human.

How about energy? 9300 years of 1% annual energy growth starting now reaches a level where our annual consumption equals the energy of the entire Milky Way galaxy. By "energy of the entire Milky Way" mean everything...electromagnetic radiation, gravitational potential energy, the E=mc^2 energy of everything that has mass.

If we can somehow actually do that, 2700 more years of 1% annual energy growth and we are annually consuming the entire energy of the observable universe.

Its similar when you look at the mass to make human bodies. Here's what 1% annual population growth looks like in terms of mass needed: 3400 years to where the mass of human bodies equals the total mass of Earth and Moon. 600 more years and we also need Jupiter's mass. 700 more and we need the mass of the whole solar system.

Then it is another 2000 before we need the mass of the entire Milky way. 100 more years and we need the Andromeda galaxy's mass too. That's 6800 years from now. Then it is 5500 years until all mass in the observable universe is needed for human bodies.

Unless we get FTL travel it seems pretty clear than sometime in the next 12000 years either growth must slow or we have to change humans to require a lot less space, mass, and energy.

> Since the syntax is quite distant from C-like syntax

THIS - and none of the other things cited in the article - is the main reason why Haskell is getting no traction in the real world.

The syntax is an abomination, and worse, IMO pretty much unnecessary. The ideas of the language are interesting, and could be expressed in a much more familiar syntax which would be a huge win for the language (although the convoluted hoops you have to jump through when you truly and actually need to mutate data would still be a sheer nightmare).

Haskell's syntax is exactly what keeps it niche and academic, except for the happy few who have managed to twist their brain into being able to parse that grotesque syntax.
As another 888 owner, I'm not moved.

As plenty of folks have said, the FX-888D is an "older" design in the sense that the heating element and tip are separate components. But, that isn't to say that this layout is obsolete - it's still very common and Hakko (among others) still makes new irons using the same system.

Given that iFixit's design uses a TRS jack as a tip mount, you can safely assume there will never be a hook tip for this particular iron, and wide chisels are probably out of the question too. That makes this iron a non-starter for me, but it all depends on your use case.

What doesn't depend on your use case is the use of a USB port as a power source. Sure, it makes sense for consumer products where compatibility trumps all. But, its fragile contacts and lack of shear strength mean that this isn't just a soldering station that's easy to fix, it's a station that you're going to need to fix.

The way I see it, FixHub is a gadget, and an 888 is an appliance. FixHub has several design decisions that compromise its sole purpose: soldering stuff. Direct heating elements are great, don't get me wrong. But if you're soldering frequently enough that a direct heating element would meaningfully boost your productivity, then a high-end RF induction iron would serve you much better. I wouldn't accept such a compromised tip mount and cable at any price point, let alone ~$350.

>Google is full of Ivy Leaguers like that, who would have just gone to Wall Street 8 years ago

I am one of those Ivy Leaguers, except a) I did go to Wall Street, and b) I liked my job.

More to the point, computers have been a hobby all my life. I well remember the epiphany I felt while learning Logo in elementary school, at the moment I understood what recursion is. I don't think the fact that the language I have mostly written code in in recent years is Emacs Lisp is unrelated to the above moment.

Yet I have never desired to work as a professional software developer. My verbal and math scores on the SAT are almost identical. I majored in history and Spanish in college while working for the university's Unix systems group. Before graduation I interviewed and got offers (including one explicitly as a developer) at various tech startups. Of my offers I chose an investment banking job where I worked with tech companies; my manager was looking for a CS major but I was able to convince her that I had the equivalent thereof. Thank goodness for that; I got to participate in the dotcom bubble without being directly swept up in its popping, and saw the Valley immediately post-bubble collapse. <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34732772>

Meanwhile, I continue to putter around with Elisp (and marveling at Lisp's elegance) and bash (and wincing at its idiosyncracies) at home, and also experiment with running local LLMs on my MacBook. My current project is fixing bugs and adding features to VM, the written-in-Elisp email client I have used for three decades. So I say, bring on AI! Hopefully it will mean fewer people going into tech just to make lots of money and more who, like me and Wall Street, really want to do it for its own sake.
Musk has had 3 huge successes - Paypal, Tesla, SpaceX. Having one such success might be luck. But when it's 3 times, dismissing it as luck is not very credible.

The same goes for Steve Jobs. 3 enormous successes.

And Bill Gates: 1. dominate 8 bit microcomputer software 2. pivot to 16 bit DOS. 3. pivot to 32 bit Windows. 4. pivot to internet. If you don't think that was a big deal, none of the other microcomputer software companies survived. Lotus, for example, muffed the pivot to 32 bits.
Having earpods in while talking is an entirely new and worse social stigma than wearing hearing aids.

> They won't draw people's attention in the way that hearing aids (because they're different/unique) do.

They won't draw peoples attention in the same way because normal humans only begrudgingly interact with people wearing earbuds in conversations and only for a bare minimum.

I really can't stand this website sometimes. But at least you all got the AirPods™ branding right instead of just calling them earbuds.

They'll do what we've been so-well-trained-for at self-checkouts: the passenger might be given control of the vehicle in such situations (e.g. loss of network connection).

>within 5 years

As for predicting the future: I think within five years ALL vehicles on public roadways will require a beacon for travel, simply to alert other self-driven vehicles & intersection controllers. This process will be gradual, akin to "insurance discounts" for allowing driving habit monitoring (e.g. without a beacon, traffic lights won't auto-cycle for you).

This kind of short-sighted, simplistic reasoning / behaviour is what I worry about the most in terms of where our society is going. I always wonder - who will be the people buying or using your software (build very cheaply and efficiently with AI) once they can do the same, or get replaced by AI, or bankrupt themselves?

Everybody seems to be so focused on how to get ahead in race to profitability, that they don't consider the shortcut they are taking might be leading to a cliff.
