Would be extremely interesting to the the $/MWh for the deal to understand the viability.

Otherwise similar to the NuScale deal which fell through last autumn.

A PPA like agreement which then only kept rising until all potential utilities had quit the deal.

All honor to Kairos if they can deliver, but history is against them. Let’s hope they succeed.

> NuScale has a more credible contract with the Carbon Free Power Project (“CFPP”) for the Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems (“UAMPS”). CFPP participants have been supportive of the project despite contracted energy prices that never seem to stop rising, from $55/MWh in 2016, to $89/MWh at the start of this year. What many have missed is that NuScale has been given till around January 2024 to raise project commitments to 80% or 370 MWe, from the existing 26% or 120 MWe, or risk termination. Crucially, when the participants agreed to this timeline, they were assured refunds for project costs if it were terminated, which creates an incentive for them to drop out. We are three months to the deadline and subscriptions have not moved an inch.

function calling provides a "hint" in the form of a JSON schema for an LLM to follow. the models are trained to follow provided schemas. If you have really complicated or deeply nested models, they can become less stable at generating schema-conformant JSON.

Structured outputs apply a context-free grammar to the prediction generation so that, for each token generation, only tokens that generate a perfectly conformant JSON schema are considered.

The benefit of doing this is predictability, but there's a trade-off in prediction stability; apparently structured output can constrain the model to generate in a way that takes it off the "happy path" of how it assumes text should be generated.

Happy to link you to some papers I've skimmed on it if you're interested!
I'm pretty sure they were trying to avoid that exact spoiler by hiding the fact they were talking about the null set.

Spoiler alert: do not read parent comment.
I did. Not quite that high, but ask any member of the military living in those areas. It’s not even set to cover 100% of the costs anymore…
The CSS on that page is impressive!
I'm halfway through reading this and still not discovered what the point is.
Everything old is new again. Had Sears gone back to focus on mail order instead of spending their waning years trying to save retail, they could have got Amazon's business before it was started. But instead they killed the catalog in 1993, one year before Amazon was founded.
That just means that specific subset of features wasn't lucky enough to make it compelling at that particular point in time for the markets it meant to address.

Change any of those variables and you may have a winning proposition.
> I use visual studio

That's not a solution. Visual Studio isn't portable, it's very close to worthless software. You can use VS, my company does too. But the baggage you take with it is pretty extreme. And now we're still maintaining COM stuff (sigh...)

> If all you do is use a web browser, you might as well just use a chromebook

Ironically, chromebooks have a full Linux environment and you can install graphical applications and whatnot. Also they run android apps.

> Such as native (but slow) unzipping, file explorer tabs, power toys and so on

Those are "neat" features, but IMO Windows 11 is still not a good desktop environment. KDE has significantly more features, is much more customizable, and also much more consistent in look and feel. Windows USED to at least be polished. Now there's 3 different setting apps and also Computer Management exists and none of them even look like they belong on the same system.
I'm not saying these prices aren't painful, but I am pretty sure there are very few bike shop owners, let alone employees, with enviable wealth.
All depends on the $/MWh figure.

oh I did use windows as my primary OS, it was Windows 95/98/XP on desktops, which started my hatred of it, and then I was stuck on a very poor laptop and windows mistake edition for 3 months before I switched to Linux for good.

yes, I've clicked on Twitter links the same way I've clicked on ads, by accident.
> Sure, we now have PipeWire and Wayland. We enjoy many modern advances and yet, the practical use for me is worse than it was 10 years ago.

That's what has made me leave Linux for Mac OS, and I'm talking about things like the touchpad (libinput) causing physical pain and crashing every couple minutes while the "desktop" wants to appeal to a hypothetical casual tablet user even Microsoft left long behind in the Windows 8.1 era (!). Mind, Mac OS is far from perfect and also regressing (hello window focus management, SIP, refactored-into-uselessness expose, etc, etc) but Mac OS has at least a wealth of new desktop apps created in this millenium to make up for it, unlike the Linux desktop struggling to keep the same old apps running as it's on a refactoring spree to fix self-inflicted problems (like glibc, ld.so) and then still not attracting new developers. I wish I could say, like the author, that containers are the solution, but the canonical example of browser updates also is a case of unwarranted and rampant complexity piling up without the slightest actual benefit for the user as the web is dying.
what is considered as the golden era of web browsing? Minimal intrusiveness, but decent images/video/readability?
This is horrifying, and needs a trigger warning lol. It gave me a sense of panic to read it. It’s always bad when you get so lost in the codebase that it’s just a dark forest of hidden horrors.

When this kind of thing tries to surface, it’s a warning that you need to 10x your understanding of the problem space you are adjacent to.
React is a FEBEFUIRT - a FrontEnd/BackEnd-Fluid UI RunTime.
The point about the naming isn't very interesting. The concept existed since medieval times. In the 18th century it got termed reconquista. Later, in the 19th century it got capitalized. None of that is 20th century Francoist propaganda even if Franco did also push the concept.

I think China is a worse country to live that the US or EU, but a better business environment. China's State Capitalism is simply more efficient than the neoliberalism hellscape that came up from the Soviet Union's collapse.

I see the rest of the world becoming more similar to China than the other way around, unfortunately. The US is already a pseudo-Soviet state economically, and is on the brink of becoming a dictatorship on top of that.
Thanks for all those questions! No we will ship standard cells that we tested the battery with (it is EU-certified, and UL-certification is ongoing)

Yes! The battery is quite safe now! We have iterated on the design for close to 4 years now.

We have added safeties everywhere so that even a misplaced cell wouldn't be dangerous. And as you mention the fireproof casing is the extra layer of safety, so that if there is an unlikely thermal event, no flames can go out.

We've been running those batteries for around 2 years on about 1000 shared mobility e-bikes in France, so we're quite sure of the design!
All of these are great points. I do want to add we rotate offense and defense every 2-3 weeks, and the act of doing defense which is usually customer facing gives that half of the team a ton of data to base the next move on.
Seems it would be easy to equip exam rooms with a set of basic foam blocks that could help with patient positioning for this and other routine procedures.

Can any medical professionals chime in on how it's usually done for tall folks?

"Long torso body type" is, in general, an under-appreciated factor in ergonomics and product design, IMO.

A couple of off-the-cuff examples:

-The longer your torso, the worse a laptop computer affects your neck and posture. For long folks, upright posture requires keyboard and monitor to be vertically separated even more than most off-the-shelf monitor/desk/keyboard trays will allow. So a monitor hinged directly to a keyboard is the worst of all possible configurations.

-Most recent automotive seats seem to force the head forward, excessively curving the spine, and the longer the torso the worse the effect.

On the opposite side of the bell curve, a safe driving position is hard to achieve for drivers around 5ft tall and under. Correct/safe distance from airbags and pedals seems to be overlooked for those of shorter stature.

I wish solving problems experienced by body proportion outliers was a higher priority for product companies.
> make more of thing until everyone can have it?

There are literal physical limits on this in many coastal villages and towns -- for example pick almost anywhere on the south west coast of the UK. Not only is the area on which houses can be built restrictive due to geography (and often geology), the transport infrastructure does not scale. New property building both has not caught up with, and probably cannot catch up with, short term demand.

As it happens, a collapse seems likely, because local sentiment is turning against them so fast and because of general economic weakness; the number of "thriving holiday let" properties that are on the market now suggests that Airbnb's own accelerating rental costs problem is going to cause a bit of a bust.

But that bust will not benefit most of the people in the areas affected where the price of a small house is twenty to thirty times the average salary of would-be-first-time-buyers. Those people are leaving, so there will instead be a ghost town. And the sheer number of residents who are temporary has destroyed the potential for long-term stable infrastructure businesses for residents.

> Nimbys are basically hukou advocates in disguise.

It's nothing to do with nimbyism, is it? Nimbys are property owners. The problem only affects people who do not have back yards. They can no longer afford the houses at the prices at which they will be built and the rates at which they can be.
Good point, we will usually only rotate when the long running task is done but eventually we’ll arrive at some feature that takes more then a few weeks to build so will need to restructure our methods then.
That range depends on the height of the antennaes(sender and receiver). I have been able to hear repeaters 150km away because it is on a hill.
Alternately, “since two years ago” works too.

“Since” goes with a particular moment in time (rather than an amount of time) to refer to the period between that time and now, like an old restaurant saying “making pizza since 1922” or for recent events like “since yesterday.”
Building a road bike with a threaded bottom bracket, rim brakes and pre built brakes really isn't that bad. I was pretty unexcited when disc brakes were introduced to road bikes due to the increased maintenance burden.
Many of my favourite blogs are ad-free. The people behindert it just do it with passion and don't expect anything in return. This is in contrast to nrwspapets and magazines, which just pump out clickbait shit while bring full of ads and tracking. Another option is the patreon/twitch model, where people Sonate money to creators.
Even when there was a nominal French kingdom, substantial "state" intervention was required to form a cohesive cultural identity, ironing out dramatic regional linguistic differences, systems of measurement, etc. Definitely a "beat it fit, paint it to match" kind of situation.

Still, it's fun to imagine that if you time-machined back to a gallic region in the ice age, you'd come across a guy who'd strike you as remarkably "French". Like, "ohhh.. this guy." HA! I would love him as dearly as all humanity. :D
What power? The power to push a github commit? That’s up to each blocklist owner.

There is no one list to rule them all. Tons of people curate their own block lists and make them available. It’s entirely up to you to pick and choose which ones you want to use that most align with your views on SEO garbage. You can override them with your own preferences too, as I do all the time with NextDNS. Like I said, all the infrastructure to support this is already in place in Kagi, they just need to implement the support for external lists.

For example, here is a list of the crowdsourced blocklists available in uBlock Origin: https://github.com/gorhill/ublock/wiki/Filter-list-licenses
A triage queue makes a lot of sense, only downside being the challenge of getting a lot done without interruption.
Two problems here:

1. Debian has ideological reasons for not including nvidia. If you're not a proponent of FOSS software, you wouldn't even look to Debian. It's popular because it's a good distro, but it's a very particular kind of distro.

2. Debian Stable does now include nvidia drivers. Yes, they relented, specifically because of situations like yours. Personally, I think it's a good thing they relented.
It seems nfs-ganesha which used to have v2 support dropped it since then, but you might be able to compile 1.5.x release tree which is still on github.

As for patched systems, I know I have seen places which had patched images to load from, but there's non-trivial chance that they are slightly bitrotted.

One place is here http://www.jachemich.de/vlm/genera.html

Of course, Portable Genera has official patches for the issues involved.
5 hours of storage and a 98.6% renewables system.

Investing in nuclear power today is an insane prospect when the energy market is being reshaped at this speed.

In Europe old paid off nuclear plants are regularly being forced off the markets due to supplying too expensive energy.

This will only worsen the nuclear business case as renewable expansion continues, today being a bonanza fueled by finally finding an energy source cheaper than fossil fuel.

Nuclear power is essentially pissing against the wind hoping the 1960s returns.
> As a home owner that was only able to afford to buy a house because we were able to rent out the spare rooms on AirBnb I find fault in your logic.

Then you're a landlord who has purchased more of a scarce resource than they require (a house larger than you need) who has then turned around and rented access to the extra you have to people who can't afford a home of their own, and in so doing have driven the cost of homeowner-ship just slightly higher, which was the reason you couldn't afford it in the first place. Repeat that a few thousand times and that's a huge contributing factor to why housing is in such a dire state here.

You haven't solved anything. You just went from being an exploited person to being an exploiter instead, taking advantage of people you should have solidarity with and inflicting the harm the system was inflicting on you, onto them instead. The system will continue feasting on people who can't manage the same as you did, and you now posses wealth you did not earn.
"Why did they throw a party instead of telling a good story? It makes no sense to me."

It's really very simple - the party was announced in April, the same day Reuters revealed that Tesla discontinued work on a cheap Model 2. Tesla's stock price almost doubled in the following weeks.

People seem to forget that Musk's fortune is very closely tied to Tesla stock price, especially after he purchased Twitter and turned it into a money burning machine.
>P.S. the website and the probably AI generated logo is giving a sketchy vibe about the project :)

certainly some reasoning would be more constructive than a smiley face, because I looked at the website, I looked at the logo[0] - I didn't share the same feeling.

Certainly it could be AI generated, but why 'sketchy'? Is it something to do with your own personal feelings on AI use, or just the aesthetic in general?

I genuinely don't understand -- this isn't a criticism or witty comment lest it be taken that way.

Interesting. So for example you’re saying you make a query and the information in the document is old and out of date?
These assumptions are most likely important and true in our case, we work out of the same room (in fact we also all live together) and 3/4 are equally skilled (I am not as technical)
I don't disagree, but wouldn't the counterargument be that the 120/80 and 140/90 thresholds (or whatever they've redefined hypertension as) apply precisely to sitting rather than lying, and after only a minute's stillness, rather than ten? And also that you spend 16 hours out of 24 not lying down?
Those are two big ifs though.

At the rate at which SpaceX makes progress, that flap burn-through is a non-issue.
There are many kinds of bottom bracket these days, but like, not that many. BSA is still extremely common and it's looking like T47 (which has two variants) will be the other common standard going forward. BB30, BB86 exist. Other variants are much less common.

Essentially the entire rest of the article is about ebikes and proprietary batteries, motors, apps, etc, and yeah, that's all true. I'd probably have just killed the bottom bracket section of this article and had the headline mention ebikes rather than try to generalize.
You don't think SpaceX did any lobbying? They just passively stood aside? Look at this story, about SpaceX, via the Project 2025 think tank's FOIA requests, searching for NASA employees who has written things critical of SpaceX:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41757578

It's really hard to discuss any topic that brushes SpaceX tangentially on HN. I asked about the research, not about the rockets, but if one even mentions SpaceX in anything less than glowing terms they get six (so far) responses re rockets, all defending SpaceX, and not a mention of the research.

NASA and SLS are actually the property of the people posting; their mission is to serve all Americans. SpaceX is a private business, whose mission is to serve only itself and, in the practice of its owner's businesses, has zero regard for everyone else.

In that context it's bizarre that people are fans of the latter. In context of social media, where mass influence is bought, it's perhaps what we'd expect - that's not NASA's business.
I am surprised and impressed a company at that scale functions like this. We often internally discuss if we can still doing this when we’re 7-8 engineers.
Not really. This has always been possible, and by definition, it has to be possible. If you use a stable distro and stick with your distro's repositories it's not a problem. If you want to install stuff outside the repos and you aren't willing to compile it yourself, it's absolutely going to be a problem.
have you tried Moshi - https://huggingface.co/collections/kyutai/moshi-v01-release-...
I.. appreciate the effort but even as an owner of three bikes, and doing maintenance myself most of the time, I barely understand half of this list. I imagine most casual bicycle riders would be in the same boat?

No idea what SHIS, QR, BB, dropper post or flat bar mean. Is this racing bike lingo?
You know more than I do about bikes. I've assembled one (except for fork/handlebars) myself and have ridden various styles.

My only objection is brakes. If it can fit your budget, mechanical disc is worth the lower maintenance, adjustment, weather resistance over rim brakes. Disc in general have the fringe benefit of being able to swap tire sizes for different purposes.

Hydraulic disc are smoother and somewhat more effective, at the expense of money and ease of maintenance.
Yeah I have 4 that are great 2m/70cm, which is what the included antennas are optimized for. Even better with a cheap Nagoya antenna and non-stock firmware.

Unfortunately people don’t realize that even if you install a firmware that allows down to 11m, even connected to a $1200 base antenna the power output will be in the milliwatt range while throwing off on harmonics.

There’s also the case of hardware inconsistency and fakes. When I hook up 4 of the included antennas to my VNA there’s pretty big variance, and I recently tested a fake Nagoya that was clearly tuned for air band and not 70cm/2m as advertised.
This makes me want to delete the post.
Unfortunately 1.4 does not fix command palette issues on Windows (5+ seconds to show, freezes, crashes, several commands accessible through UI buttons not available through palette with same name phrase). Finding the name of an action and how to trigger it (button somewhere or menu/submenu item) is a pain point in Inkscape and a good command palette can help a lot.
We should probably prioritize getting there faster then, and taking fossil fuel supply chain infrastructure and generation offline.
Interesting that you describe it as ego. I don’t think a team shoveling shit onto your plate and disliking it is ego.

I feel similar things about the product and business side, it often feels like people are trying to pass their job off to you and if you push back then you’re the asshole. For example, sending us unfinished designs and requirements that haven’t been fully thought through.

I imagine this is exactly how splitting teams into offense and defense will go.
In the USA the Great Northern continued to run its own commissaries even after most other railroads turned dining car operations over to the Pullman company. During the 1930’s, the Empire Builder famously would slow going over a particular bridge in western Montana so that the kitchen crew could “hoop up” a package of freshly caught trout. I find that factoid unreasonably charming.
You're right, but you're treating that as a net-negative. The reality is that the government regulations structured taxi services in most cities in the world into cartels that operated in a way that was to the detriment of their customers. Uber broke the taxi cartel, and yes, it broke the law to do it, but it wouldn't have been possible to do this way if they'd tried to work with the existing taxi companies, because their anti-customer cancer would have infected Uber while it was young and before it could even scale. Part of their value proposition is their scale, itself.
