> When one peak rate is triple another, then the specifics of the charge curve don't matter that much

Sure, but in my experience, cars of similar size and price don't differ by 3x in their peak rate. After all when you buy a car you have a budget and you're looking for some specific features which usually dictate the size. I think it's rare that one considers both an Ford F150 and a Toyota Corolla, weighing their various pros and cons, unless the only metric is "as cheap as possible".

The sibling reply is a good example. The Ioniq 5 takes about 15 minutes to charge 50kWh from zero, peaking at ~230kW.

The ID.4 GTX has a peak charging rate of ~180kW, 78% of the Ioniq, so naively one could calculate it'll take 19 minutes to get to 50kWh from zero. But no, the measured value is 27 minutes, 40% longer!

We have standardized tests for consumption, I just wish they'd introduce something similar for charging so it's easier to compare.
> The article explains the constraints (speed, accuracy, comfort, avoiding online criticism, attractiveness, etc) that the author lives with. Did you intend to point at a more general situation that you've encountered?

Yes, I refer to a more general situation. It seems to me, that the author of the article explains her choice as a way to try products and to write reviews that would be useful for people with long manicured nails. I can accept this explanation and to understand that. But it means that there are other people who choose long nails for other reasons, aren't they?

I think this is a good thing in principle because there is no way pricing transparency is ever a bad thing.

But I think this will inadvertantly lead to an overall increase in prices, probably not intended by the people pursuing this.

Why? Because most of these in-game currencies are sold in packs of varying sizes and the larger packs are usually cheaper per-currency than smaller packs. A volume discount.

Selling the currency like this means the euro value of a single unit of currency is variable, which obviously cannot be reconciled with a requirement to peg a specific euro price onto the actual goods thereof.

So assuming this action is successful, we'll probably see an end to the volume discount with large packs becoming sold at the same euro-per-currency pricing as small packs, and a currency-to-euro conversion printed on the actual goods next to the price in currency.

That's interesting take, personally I'd say that graduate-level math is orders of magnitude harder than significant majority of programming. And I mean that it's inherently harder, i.e. not due to lack of background.
some legacy applications were designed around having a 32 bit wordsize for pointers. so calculations of offsets into memory where a data structure includes pointers depends on a pointer size.

This seems like a disingenuous answer to me - the rest of the team will take up the slack? And if they can't they must be a low-performing team?

The OP may have some things wrong, but the 'constant grind' aspect of scrum sprints is spot on, there is no slack.

Add to that the 'radical transparency' aspect of scrum. That works great among a tight-knit team, but it can be insidious and actually self-defeating when certain types of manager get involved and weaponize it.

I'm sure there are many people who love programming, but hate being a programmer as a job, and to some extent that has always been true, but scrum seems in many cases to make it much, much worse, IMHO. The attitude displayed here is exactly the problem.

Because “Know your customer” is the government creating a plausible deniability shield for discriminating against a person or group of people.

It should be the government’s job to prosecute criminals by proving they commit crimes, which allow the accused to defend themselves in court, which hopefully results in less corruption.

With KYC, the intent is to not allow the accused a chance of defending themselves. It is a way to deny people rights without the costly hassle of going to court.

Well for one, the world demography is deeply changing with population aging everywhere but a significant lag between countries which are already greying (Japan, Europe), countries which rely heavily on immigration to keep the median age stable (the USA) and countries which are just beginning to age but have large population (India, China, Brazil).
As I understand it, in-game currencies were invented to work around various laws around monetization, especially in Japan.

I'm quite confident that whatever legislation they pass will only motivate other workarounds that make the problem worse for everyone involved.

> Ability to manage caloric intake in times of abundance may not be something humans have in general

Even in the USA, a country that is not just wealthy but also culturally obesity-friendly, the majority of people are not obese. In less obesity-friendly regions, such as Europe, only a small part of the population is obese.

Most people do manage their caloric intake. And of those who don't, many may still be able to, but simply choose not to.

It seems that humans in general do have the ability to manage caloric intake, but many don't use it.

I do think it's a personal problem. (But we should still work together as a society to help those who fail to help themselves.)
People on HN will always find a way to see a good side from Google's terrible product and engineering
However the Hobbit wasn't a stack machine, it was a memory-to-memory machine with a stack cache.

The LLVM uses a register machine with an unlimited number of once use registers. The Hobbit could easily run LLVM programs with no change to the number of registers used. Compiling as to reuse registers would only decrease the amount of stack memory traffic.

The stack cache is effectively a form of register window. The ISA could have or might have (I don't recall) short form instructions that take shorter offsets from the top of the stack which would be similar in performance to register-to-register operations.

I am surprised that no one has mentioned the most obvious alternative: Bing Cache.

It is not as complete as Google's, but it is usually good enough.
It's almost certainly a precedence issue. It's much easier to consider that unary operators have precedence over binary operators, and just learn the precedence rules for each class, rather than a global precedence rule. Plus, there's no conflict with math notation, as there is no exponentiation operator in math.
When I was a young man the family dog developed some kind of huge cyst or tumor or something. My father, aunt, and cousin had died recently, which I suppose is why the dog didn’t get taken to the vet. Could simply have been bad finances.

The dog was leaking body fluids. I put a trash bag on the floor of the car and drove him to a place neither of us had ever been, the Humane Society. About a mile away he started to scream and shake. It was a human-sounding scream. It didn’t stop when we arrived. He tried weakly to bite me as I extracted him from the back seat, and didn’t stop screaming when I left.

Absolute BS after all these years. I hate that they won't fix these niggling issues that keep tripping people up over the years and just make excuses. Microsoft's usual response is: "We only work on things that affect a large number of customers". Yeah Microsoft, if you keep closing these bug reports, then each time someone reports it, you can just say that it only affects one person and close it again.

Or...you could show how amazing your company is by doing what most of us have to do: Fix it, add more debugging for the next time it happens if you can't recreate it, or have a properly tracked reason to say, "only a very few people have asked for this but changing it might break these other areas/bacwards compatability" or something.

LG WebOS is just as bad. It used to load in a second but after a few update, booting up the TV takes 10 to 30 seconds.

They changed where it boots to. You don't have any image or app menu by default anymore. They changed Terms and Conditions so many times, reenabling tracking defaults as they see fit.

Seeing how they support their own OS, I'm not surprised they broke support on Android-TV.
Hmm, it's years since I properly thought about this anecdote

Yes, in theory you could have done everything with checks. It didn't completely happen though, until after computerisation. In the UK, it turns out that employees had the right to receive pay in cash as late as 1986! And taking it away was controversial.So it may be that you are right that computerisation wasn't essential, but most likely the reduction in cost of banking spread it to enough people that armed robbery became less of a risk.
I think you have to grow up a bit. There's more to life than the rat race, and if you score high, you should be participating in the direction of life. Not just follow the crumbs laid down by others. Or chose their side.

You're not a rat, and it helps other people if you don't act like one scared little mouse. Especially if you got decent brains. It's hurts them morally when they have to compete with you when they should have an ally.

Yeah, there is so much pressure to just stop living (and follow the crumbs), and there's no way to achieve anything of worth outside of it. No friends for example, supposedly. As we all are trapped, and we do it to ourselves, self apply the Matrix and tragically be the enemy of our loving destiny.

Those who realize they are trapped have traditionally, and wisely, kneeled to Christ, and have typically been rewarded with a new life. Amen. But if you have decent brains you might also compassionately reason a way out, or identify those that have done so, and join their quest.

Stop living your life as if it's just you. It's not. The rat race lies about you. And the collective lies about you. Grow a spine. These are the facts of life. And as Christianity fades they get pushed into our faces. We have to deal with a self serving collective, that makes us into enemies. Especially us in the software realm mindlessly masturbate to our own bank accounts, while we know better, and that political future needs us. Instead we mindlessly empower ever bigger titans. Karma will come round.

Yes this alternative future needs a business model, to take care of the individuals that are currently starved out of resistance, including by you, and out of their potential to be the good they know they can be.

While there is no business, you still have an excuse. But once it exists, in it you'll be working to empower the ones on your side, fully and completely sharing your life. Our beautiful but deficient society demands it is so extreme, for it itself is a tangent.

Therefore the king shall work his way up, and be compassionate. And as he rises the powers that be will see an enemy, and will fight with fud. And all what their profits can buy. But they will also see a prophecy taking aim at them. The angels in high heaven, and their master, which surely do not exist, right?

Do what is right and the future will come to you.

Same here. I have become stressed about deadlines that were actual deadlines imposed by external dependencies (e.g. API deprecation) or stakeholders (e.g. launch of feature needs to be coordinated with efforts in other departments), but never about "deadlines" I've just had a hand in making up out of thin air myself during sprint planning.
That explains a few things. If Intel don't get paid until they finish the fab, then they have that incentive -- though no other -- to actually finish it, which they obviously don't want to do. And they have to do all the work on credit...no wonder they are whining their faces off.

In any case it is too late for the US to have industrial policy. Maybe a lifetime ago, but not now.
>has it ever existed?

This question being written as singular suggests to me you’re conflating some combination of education as a concept, education in America, and education in Europe. I see this as muddled thinking, they each have their own issues and their own timetables over which issues can and do exist.

Education history in Europe is actually decently hyperlocal and pretty path dependent for each country during the 19th and 20th century. Talking about it as a monolith is challenging, but there’s a pretty consistent pattern in societies with all-pay taxation-paid schooling that it has clear incentive structures that a school, having been “paid up front“, is not incentivized to put in the work to provide a high quality education, and as the financier of that education is the taxpayer, the pressure is primarily to keep costs low.

As for America, you don’t need much faith to believe that in the US instituting dischargeability would dramatically improve competition and quality in these spaces and the market for education - so yes, this market used to be substantially more competitive and used to exist. Since the 1970s when these laws were passed, student debt and tuition costs have skyrocketed, low quality for-profit university creation skyrocketed, and people have been hobbled with debt for degrees many are never going to pay back. Dischargeability reduces this greatly - it causes financiers to create motive pressure on education to not be a fiscal vampire preying on its students and equip them with meaningful trades and socially useful knowledge.

As for standards and regulations on schools, assuming the public sees fit to fund higher education through government spending, having requirements for a school to receive that government funding seems reasonable, so long as they reflect the desires of the local populace.

Ultimately, all this is a discussion of tradeoffs - I think someone can happily prefer

> everyone gets a free tertiary education paid for by their taxes

I think that it being free and paid-by-all means it’ll have low motive pressure towards quality and therefore be comparably mediocre to free elementary and secondary compulsory education, which even based on your own reckoning seems to be a two-tier system where the public institutions get short shrift - but you seem to care about it being free or less focused on fiscal student outcomes as its own value. It’s a tradeoff.

Depends on driving habits and price of electricity and gas. In Washington state, electricity is cheaper compared to most of the US, and gas is among the most expensive compared to most of the US.

For less than ~10k miles per year, the higher up front cost of an electric vehicle and the greater depreciation due to eventual battery replacement might make a hybrid gas vehicle still cheaper per mile.

But for high mileage, high frequency of stop and go driving, I imagine all electric is cheapest?

I recently read Deep Work by Cal Newport and while it isn't specifically about startups it does offer a crucial insights into doing work that is valuable (potentially also monetary valuable). Startups can be run in 1000s different ways, in particular solo-startups, but common for them is that they solve a difficult problem, and that requires deep work.

Except you’re talking about a general purpose foundation model that’s doing all these subjects at once. It’s not like you choose the subject specific model with Claude or gpt-01.

The key isn’t whether these things are smart or not. The key is that they put something that can answer basic grad level questions on almost any subject. For people that don’t have a graduate level education in any subject this is a remarkable tool.

I don’t know why the statement that “wow this is useful and a remarkable step forward” is always met with “yeah but it’s not actually smart.” So? Half of all humans have an IQ less than 100. They’re not smart either. Is this their value? For a machine, being able to produce accurate answers to most basic graduate level questions is -science fiction- regardless of whether it’s “smart.”

The NLP feat alone is stunning, and going from basically one step above gibberish to “basic grad school” in two years is a mouth dropping rate of change. I suspect folks who quibble over whether it’s “real intelligence” or simply a stochastic parrot have lost the ability to dream.

No group of conspirators got together in the 80s and secretly schemed for decades to make America's universities debt factories, at times against their own short-term interests, and are now sitting at the country club making evil laughter sounds. This vibe is the road to nihilist fatalism, it adds nothing, it helps nobody, it's just throwing your hands in the air and saying "I give up! The world is terrible!"

All of those countries joined NATO because they themselves wanted to. No one forced them to do so.

Everyone near Russia wanted to join NATO as quickly as possible because they were deeply worried about Russian invasion, having been invaded by Russia in the recent past, and given that Russia historically has always been territorially expansionist.

Ukraine couldn't get in. Ukraine has been invaded.

Georgia wasn't in either, and they were invaded as well.

If I were anywhere near Russia, I'd start connecting up with my neighbours in a defensive alliance, too, and this brings us to a critical point; NATO is a defensive alliance. The treaty says each country considers an attack on a fellow member to be an attack on itself.

If any NATO country goes off an invades another country, of its own accord, its on its own.

Russia is not threatened by NATO, but Russia is stymied by NATO, because it blocks Russian territorial expansion.

Russia of course also has its long history of propaganda and double-think; black is white, weak is strong, aggression is defence.

Finally we must note the appalling sadism of Russian military forces in occupied territories, and of the Government toward the people of Russia.
