I'm not sure I agree. You would need 24 LFP prismatic EVE cells (Which are EV rated) to get to ~20kWh (72v at ~300ah). They weigh about 5.5kg/cell. That's nearly 300lbs in cells alone (not accounting for wiring/support/cooling). I would pretty easily see total weight hitting 500lbs (or more).

You can do it more efficiently with different chemistries, and you can scale down your storage for less range - but 500lbs seems pretty reasonable for a retrofit.

Ex - your own linked kit doesn't include any storage, and the motor alone weighs 120lbs. There is NO WAY you're getting away with 150 lbs when the motor alone eats 120lbs.

Lead acid... come on... a 100ah 12v lead acid (1.2kWh - of which only .6kWh is really usable because of chemistry) weighs 70lbs on a good day. A normal EV will do 3-4/kwh. 5kWh of usable charge (20 mile range) from those things is going to run you 10 batteries, for 660lbs. And that's NOT including any other parts of the retrofit (like that 120lb motor, or the wiring [thick wire is heavy] or the electronics).

I realize charging people for this seems a little unorthodox -- it's one of the reasons I posted this on HN before anything, to see what people think of it. Calling it a bookmark folder is a little underselling it; I've spent the better part of a decade collecting most of these links. When I built this, it felt like what I'm offering is the time and effort saved collecting this, instead of the actual content.
Hololens 2 certainly has support for passing gaze direction, not sure about the first one.

I think the headsets are pretty much in alignment that it's a feature that needs permissions but they'll provide it to the app with focus.

Apple is a lot more protective.
And how does repogather do it? From the README, it looks to me like it might provide the content of each file to the LLM to gauge its relevance. But this would seem prohibitively expensive on anything that isn't a very small codebase (the project I'm working on has on the order of 400k SLOC), even with gpt-4o-mini, wouldn't it?
Manipulating Brain Waves During Sleep with Sound
In my opinion, it's not that he wants to control so much as that his goal is going to Mars.

Someone that goes to work to do the tasks assigned to them (which applies to both managers and those on the line) vs. someone that goes to work because they want something (e.g. maybe a certain product made with certain features) thinks very differently. The latter has a whole plan and the plan has certain sub-requirements that all feed back into the greater goal.

As part of going to Mars, you will likely have to send many supporting missions, which drives the requirement to lower costs. When designing bespoke systems, contracting it out to third party vendors can be expensive. Usually you contract out to third party vendors because they can utilize economies of scale because they have many clients who are asking for the same thing, but there are no economies of scale here because no one has reusable rockets in their catalog.
Variation on "have seen" - a couple examples of historically expensive software that became accessible:

Over time DaVinci Resolve went from a hardware-software system costing $X00,000 to having a software-only version for $1500 in today's dollars to having two tiers, a free version and $295 "studio" version that is also bundled in with BlackMagic hardware and cameras.

($800,000 to Zero - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WvP5_HFQSk)

I suppose a half-million-dollar hybrid system might not be off the shelf. For things individual users could actually (edit: realistically) buy, the perpetual Adobe Collection license was $3k in today-money.

For Mac users, Final Cut Pro Studio 1 was $1299 and Logic Studio used to be $999, plus paid major version upgrades; probably multiply by 1.5x for inflation; now they're $299 and $199, or IIRC $299 together in a bundle for students, and they've each received free updates for a decade.
I'm definitely not a heavy advocate of GPT or similar... as much as I do like GH Copilot for some things. For almost anything of any complexity, there are often wrong things in the output from ChatGPT and you have to be able to spot them.

In the BPO scandal, they proved the computers were incorrect, and the victims did nothing wrong, then sent all the victims to jail anyway. It's plain old corruption in the injustice system.
For various reasons, I don't want to name the employer, but yes it does happen. I guess it depends on your interpretation of "long term"...

Those that are hired to be permanently based in the UK have an RSU-based system.

Those that are hired with the intention of relocating to the US instead get a smaller lump-sum signing bonus, a small lump-sum annual bonus while in the UK and the RSU incentives only start after moving to the US, and starting a fresh employment contract.

In theory, employees should only be in the UK for just over a year maximum, since if the H-1B visa petition isn't successful, you can apply for an L-1 visa instead after 12 months of employment. In my case, moving to the US got indefinitely postponed due to COVID, so I stayed in the UK for 23 months before I quit.

Obviously, beyond 2 years is moot as I'd already quit, but if I'd worked another month and had RSUs from the start, I would have been about $100k better off after those first 2 years. The next 4 years would have been worse off too, as the RSU allocation for the starting bonus would have been for significantly fewer shares due to the rise in share price over those first 2 years but the dollar value of the bonus would have stayed the same.
> Python and stateful CAD drawings sound like a nightmare to me.

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but it doesn’t appear stateful to me. The context managers mostly make the organization of objects be reflected in the organization of the code.

They’re stateful in the sense that some bits are part of a larger assembly, but I think that’s inherent in the domain. The features of the object have to relate to each other so it knows how to stitch the object together (eg which side of a face is external and which is internal).

They also finish the product to a degree that more pedestrian companies feel is grandstanding and thus dismiss it. Instead of learning about UX sensitivity and the paradox of choice, they write it off as a fluke. A forty+ year fluke at this point.

> Are we ever really going to understand why it produces the numbers it does?

I would expect so, because we can categorize things hierarchically.

A medium-sized library contains many billions of words, but even with just a Dewey decimal system and a card catalog you could find information relatively quickly.

There's no inherent difficulty in understanding what a billion terms do, if you're able to just drill down using some basic hierarchies. It's just about finding the right algorithms to identify and describe the best set of hierarchies. Which is difficult, but there's no reason to think it won't be solvable in the near term.
> I'd analogize it to a metalworker working with titanium. If you need it, you need it. If you can afford it, great. The end result is amazing. But it's a much harder metal to work with for the exact same reason it's amazing. The strength of the end part is directly reflected in the metal resisting you working with it.

I’d say you missed one of the main points of Haskell and functional programming in general.

The combinator is the most modular and fundamental computational primitive available in programming. When you make a functional program it should be constructed out of the composition of thousands of these primitive with extremely strict separation from IO and multiple layers of abstraction. Each layer is simply composed functions from the layer below.

If you think of fp programming this way. It becomes the most modular most reconfigurable programming pattern in existence.

You have access to all layers of abstraction and within each layer are independent modules of composed combinators. Your titanium is given super powers where you can access the engine, the part, the molecule and the atom.

All the static safety and beauty Haskell provides is actually a side thing. What Haskell and functional programming in general provides is the most fundamental and foundational way to organize your program such that any architectural change only requires you replacing and changing the minimum amount of required modules. Literally the opposite of what you’re saying.

The key is to make your program just a bunch of combinators all the way down with an imperative io shell that is as thin as possible. This is nirvana of program organization and patterns.

Well done! I'm mostly a TS100 user, so I'm looking at it from that angle.

Why no boost button (unless I missed it)? That's the one on-iron UI feature I'd be missing - very useful for GND planes. I'm guessing its not a matter of rated power, but just the thermal resistance from the physical size of the tip which restricts heat entering into a heavily-heatsinked joint. Helpful to increase the iron temperature momentarily for such cases. Then again, I can't see heat transfer - happy to be told I'm wrong.

Is this your own tip design or is it the same as the TS80? Can't speak to the TS80 but I've found the TS100 tip quality to be somewhat lacking (I've had tips plainly break off before).

i literally just bought a pinecil and usb-c battery pack (with carry case) to make basically a DIY version of this three weeks ago, but would have gotten this one instead if it existed back then

after a few days trying to turn that into a daily driver however, i've had to go back to my weller desktop station, for one weird reason: i dont have anywhere to put the hot iron in between uses!

i dont know if it's just me, but my work cadence involves me using my soldering iron about 30-40 times over the course of an hour or so, for about 3-4 seconds each time. sometimes i'm soldering a row of headers, or just one or two joints, but then theres 3-4 minutes where i'm moving wires around or programming something quickly, and i dont want to wait for the tip to cool each time so i can set it somewhere and work on the board a bit, if I can just leave it in a safe place while hot, which my weller always had.

I got one of those bent sheet metal desktop 'holders', but the iron is so light compared to the cable, there's no way it's not falling off the table at some point.

Joyent also merged with TextDrive, which is where the FreeBSD part came from. TextDrive was an early Rails host, and could even do it in a shared hosting environment, which is where I think a lot of the original user base came from (also TextPattern)

As I recall they were also the original host of Twitter, which if I recall was Rails back in the day.
I'm not sure the launcher is the hard part. Heat shield tiles and re-entry seem to be much harder problems.

Boeing Starliner had no trouble launching, returning on the other hand was risky.

SLS worked flawlessly, but the returning Orion capsule's heat shield was severely damaged and the heat shield does not appear to be safe enough for crewed missions.

Starship's super heavy booster landed as planned, but the upper stage got damaged during re-entry and just barely managed to perform a landing.

STS/The space shuttle disaster was caused by damage from the launch, but arrived safely in LEO. The catastrophic loss occured during re-entry.
> but it could be compared to bitmap graphics vs. vector graphics.

This is very much how I internally understand it and explain it to people, yes!

It is a good analogy for e.g. why it's often a challenge to get something milled with a CNC when you only have an STL file.

STL is like a PNG line drawing: it can be high quality, but it's not describing the drawing. STEP is like SVG: it's more effort to render it, but it contains the instructions to draw it.

I always see these USB-C irons marketed a lot, but I've recently bought a travel iron that's the same form factor with adjustable temperature and all that jazz but just ends with an outlet plug for $16 and couldn't be happier with it tbh.

Unless you're somewhere out in the wilderness, finding an outlet to do any on the road repairs is pretty trivial and you don't need to lug around a large heavy box that does grid to USB-C DC conversion nor a powerbank.

You can dump in 1gb of data (Unsloth supports "raw text training") but whether you'd get good results or a useless model is a different issue.

It's not about how simple B64 is or isn't. In fact i chose a simple problem we've already solved algorithmically on purpose. It's that all you've just said, reasonable as it may sound is entirely speculation.

That building a rocket launch pad is in fact more difficult than pouring a slab for a garage, and there some nontrivial technical issues involved.

I don't understand the hate. They did a very bad decision and had major backlash. Fast-forward one year: they rectified it completely, they greatly improved the free terms compared to what was before, they replaced the CEO and other involved executives.

Hi! Our Archive Catalog STAC API indicates which items are in our Open Data Catalog on AWS. You can use the STAC Search endpoints to filter by this property alongside location. Instructions in our docs:

Unfortunately we don't directly link to the s3 assets for those items at this time :( So you'll still have to pull the list of files and grep by task ID.
Elm's strengths are its constraints, which allow for simple, readable code that's easy to test and reason about - partly because libraries are also guaranteed to work within those constraints.

I've tried and failed several times to write Haskell in an Elm style, even though the syntax is so similar. It's probably me (it's definitely me!), but I've found that as soon as you depend on a library or two outside of prelude their complexities bleed into your project and eventually force you into peppering that readable, simple code with lifts, lenses, transformations and hidden magic.

Not to mention the error messages and compile times make developing in Haskell a chore in comparison.

p.s. Elm has not been abandoned, it's very active and getting better every day. You just can't measure by updates to the (stable, but with a few old bugs) core.
For a small, unpopular language there is so much work going into high quality libraries and development tools. Check out

https://elmcraft.org/lore/elm-core-development

for a discussion.

Elm is so nice to work in. Great error messages, and near instant compile times, and a great ecosystem of static analysis, scaffolding, scripting, and hot reloading tools make the live development cycle super nice - it actually feels like what the lispers always promised would happen if we embraced repl-driven development.

> As the typed FP ecosystem is moving towards dependent typing (Agda, Idris, Lean), this becomes an issue, because you don't want the type checker to run indefinitely.

First of all, does ecosystem move to dependent types? I think the practical value of Hindley-Milner is exactly in the fact that there is a nice boundary between types and terms.

Second, why would type checking running indefinitely be a practical problem? If I can't prove a theorem, I can't use it. The program that doesn't typecheck in practical amount of time is in practice identical to non-type-checked program, i.e. no worse than a status quo.
I think that today is very interesting in that a lot of the R neocons of yesteryear have shifted to D neolibs today. It's really weird in a lot of ways.

Note: I've been pretty heavily libertarian minded for a long time, so this observation has mostly been an outside perspective even though I'm currently more inclined to move R as a secondary/pragmatic position. There are some aspects of R and D I'm inclined to support.

Those "couple of weirdos" are Trump's former transition team members, cabinet officials, and leadership of federal government agencies Trump appointed.

And the people who know about are too hooked on partisan TV? Well, Trump certainly knows about them and the work they do. But I do agree he's probably too habitually glued to partisan cable news so much he's spewing weirdo falsehoods at debates.

We should really be questioning Trump's mental acuity when he repeatedly says he doesn't know who Ben Carson or Peter Navarro or Kevin Robers is. He doesn't remember the person he campaigned against eight years ago, the guy he hired to head Housing and Urban Development? He doesn't remember the guy who worked in the Whitehouse for four years closely with him? He doesn't remember the person he's praised many times in the past couple of years?

And yeah, I do agree a lot of people don't really know about Project 2025. It's incredible to me so many people are voting for a party in which they don't know most of the real policy positions of its highest members and thought leaders. If you think the Heritage Foundation has little to no influence in the direction of GOP policy, you haven't been paying attention to the last 40 years.
