please do. but it seems it would be more expensive to produce a tv with less features: https://www.tomsguide.com/features/dumb-tvs-heres-why-you-ca...
Agreed, that's a fair criticism. The whole mindset needs to shift to actually become sustainable, and the mindset shift is more likely to happen by self-hosting with used hardware than abstracting away hardware to a datacenter.

I think a more likely way of changing usage patterns is by actually pricing carbon cost into energy production and manufacturing via taxes. The costs of things are only so low because we are borrowing from the future. I don't think a mindset shift will happen under capitalism without the monetary cost of things increasing. And I don't think capitalism will change unless by collapsing, at which point we're too late anyway, and would come with much human suffering. I don't believe that capitalism is fundamentally broken, but I do believe that unchecked capitalism is. Regulation and taxes are required to manage its negative tendencies.
We use Svelte 4.0 in production and it performs beautifully; it rarely is the cause of our frustrations. Excited to try the new version.

Lately I’ve also been wondering about the relationship and correlation between software writing skills and writing skills.
If it's truly e2e how would they even know what's being shared on it?
They're probably referring to AMD Zen's speculative lifting of stack slots into physical registers (due to x86, phased out with Zen3 though), and more generally to OoO cores with far more physical than architectural registers.
My racing bike lasted about 30 years from my teens till the police destroyed it as a terrorism hazzard. I was cycling past Westminster tube when it started raining heavily so locked it to a post and got the tube not knowing that wasn't allowed around Westminster.

I’ve been using Obsidian lately. I’m curious to know more about what you did to pull up a prompt. That could be a slick change.

I also tried to do this for work, not because I was required to but because I was curious, and I also found it exhausting. Maybe logging only the main things would feel better.

What are the benefits of DVC over Apache Iceberg? If anyone used both, I'd be curious about your take. Thanks!
Some polarised TV documentary is not a proof... Scientific study would be nice.

Also read the study on birds I linked. They are only sensitive to specific frequencies. We still have no idea how it works.

And science around antennas is super complex, calculating something like dipole sensitivity and angles for human body....
>You do the thing that has the shortest ROI.

This is a tombstone for humanity and lots of companies if we all do this.
I’ll check these out. I read and am inspired by a lot of Julia Evans work.
Factor 2 might be roughly the decline in the size of the manufacturing sector/GDP in that time frame. At least that’s a contributing factor.

In other words, some of them were expensive and outsourced.
Sure which is a perfectly fine trade off; almost all recent CPUs have enough multicore capacity that make this trade favorable.

Is this not obvious?

Language is a very poor substitute for freely flowing electrical information - it is evolved to compensate for the bottlenecks to external communication - bottlenecks that are lacking an internal analogue.

It's also a highly advanced feature - something as heavily optiimised as evolved life would not allow something as vital as cognition to be hampered by a lack of means for high fidelity external expression.
I love Svelte and use it for all my personal projects and all company projects (except strictly static sites are still built with just 11ty but I hate it and want to move off it).

But I'm going to wait a bit on v5 for the company, scanning all the issue headlines, it looks like there are a still a lot of unresolved edge cases: https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/issues

As for my latest personal project, upgrading right now so I can help find more of those edge cases :D
To do science, you need to come up with counter-examples. A simple way to get to the truth in this particular case is to come to the town full of electro-sensitive people, and announce that there has been a large EM device secretly installed for a week and see how many of them will suddenly report symptoms, even when there actually wasn't any device installed. Or conversely do install the device and don't announce anything and check if somebody sensed it.
If your hypothesis is that TSA agents are incompetent or careless or otherwise malign, then every extra moment you spend in their presence puts you at risk of the kind of things that such people might do. TSA agents have been known to assault people. Rare, but more common than injury caused by scanners.
So what's stopping them from jumping ship to supposed greener pastures in Edmonds[1][2]?

That a IAM union machinist would even consider a voluntary career pivot to the retail antithesis of "Buy Union-Made & American-Made products" because of a window sign says a lot...no exaggeration necessary.

Look up "large format display". Its basically a TV sans any smart shit. Used in commercial display applications, dynamic menus in restaurants, info panels etc.

They are mad expensive because presumably they are not subsidised by the shitware that "smart" tvs ship with.
I did so years ago with the only exception being HN, as we cannot deactivate it our account nor delete our content...which is a sad thing in my humble opinion.

No FaceBook, no LinkedIn, nothing; I have found my peace from narcissists and "successful" people that live in their fantasy world!

I thank goodness I have access to a non-stupid Terraform state provider[1] so I've never tried that S3+dynamodb setup but, if I understand the situation correctly, introducing Yet Another AWS Service &trade; into this mix would mandate that callers also be given a `dynamo:WriteSomething` IAM perm, which is actually different from S3 in that in S3 one can -- at their discretion -- set the policies on the bucket such that it would work without any explicit caller IAM

This has been done for decades in digital circuits, FPGA’s, Digital Signal Processing, etc. Floating point is both resource and power intensive and using FP without the use of dedicated FP processing hardware is something that has been avoided and done without for decades unless absolutely necessary.
The problem is that Tesla is way behind the industry standards here and it's misrepresenting how good their tech is.
I don't think anyone thinks of Meta or Facebook products as open-source in the same way as WordPress (they have open source projects but none that are as core to their business as WordPress is to Automattic).

Even now it seems like Matt is trying to shroud himself in open-source as a defense. If so the foundation should be more independent.
The fact that one of the variables is named 'POST' makes some of this code read quite funny in todays context
Their ToS is hilarious. You are not allowed to access the site with an Apple or Android device. Not use Chrome or register with a Gmail or Google suite email.

They actively don’t want any customers?
> Surely the number of cars than can do it, and the price, also matters, unless you're going to ban private cars

Indeed, like this: the more cars sold that claim fully autonomous capability, and the more affordable they get, the higher the standards should be compared to their AV predecessors, even if they have long eclipsed human driver's safety record.

If this is unpalatable, then let's assign 100% liability with steep monetary penalties to the AV manufacturer for any crash that happens under autonomous driving mode.
JJ's conflict handling seems nice. Can't say that it's a big enough problem for me to qualify as a "major feature", but a seemingly nice improvement.

I'm not sure how I feel about JJ's "working copy commit". One of the great things about Meta VCS is that all commits are automatically backed up into the cloud. Which seems incompatible with the JJ model? Not sure. I think the D in DVCS is *wildly* overrated. 99.999% of projects are defacto centralized.

I'm #TeamMonoRepo 100% of the way. My background is gamedev and perforce. An industry which still uses Perforce because Git is poopy poop poop. The Git integration I want to see is the ability to easily sync a monorepo subfolder with an external GitHub repo. Syncing commits for internal projects that are open sourced requires a big ugly custom set of tooling. And I'd kind of like a way to do an "inner fork" within a monorepo if that makes sense.

If you're interested here's a pair of blog posts I wrote that have at least some of my thoughts on source control.

Before FSD is allowed on public roads?

It’s a net positive, saving lives right now.
This is a pretty gross mischaracterization of ham radio.

There are exams, sure. But the entry level one(s) are typically not that bad. Something a high-school grad could do in an afternoon.

Fortune? Most exams now are free, although there are some clubs that charge a token fee (~$10 USD or so). Radios from China are cheap and cost around $25.

Sure, the hobby can get really expensive, but it doesn't have to be.

And "standard phrase" is not even accurate. Typically, people "ragchew" on repeaters with the Tech license, but that is not it either. Digital modes, RC/Model airplane control, satellite coms, APRS (GPS tracking), etc.
Topre Realforce R2, but that colorway was a limited edition and it's already gone.

Yeah, but that report is required by government to be done independently. That makes it very different.
It is not at all obvious that "freely flowing electrical information" isn't just language in a different medium, much the same as video on a cassette tape.

I think everything from Pentium Pro (except Bonnell-based Atom), AMD K5, Cyrix 6x86 and VIA Nano onwards is vulnerable.
From listening to webdev podcast #1, Syntax.fm, the gist I get is that a lot of what used to be invisible compiler magic is now more visible & explicit.

The compiler user to rewrite property access to make reactivity happen. Now you can kind of see yourself updating & reading/reacting as you sprinkle runes in. Implicit to explicit magic, with Runes as the headline demonstration of that. Other examples very welcome!
I have been using both Swisstransfer.com and filetransfer.io since Firefox Send shut down.

How have they dealt with this?
Since this is reported on by "Insurance Journal" it makes wonder how much of this fine was paid for by their liability insurer. Does anyone know? Presumably they have no coverage for illegal activities, but they never agreed they did anything illegal.
can I do async derived stores by default yet? It was kinda tricky to get working in svelte 4 and even Square/svelte-store wasn't super ergonomic. Would be super nice if it was built in
Just as a data point, my guess is that a very small minority of English-language speakers would define the term as broadly as you do, at least in a context relating the concept to analytical thought processes. At the very least, I think most people expect that language is used actively, such that pheromones wouldn’t fall within the definition. (And actually, that’s reflected when you say language is a means “you can use”.) Likewise, a slap in the face certainly can be interpreted, but slapping doesn’t seem like a means of communicating in general—because a slap only communicates one thing.
My "irrational" fear is the scanner, not the TSA agent.

Single cable docking. You plug your laptop into the monitor via USBC and it charges your laptop, provides it a Ethernet connection and drives the monitor display.

It's neat, but not this dystopian neat.
You seem to be seeing only one side of the situation while there are actually costs to both sides.

As I see it suicide should only be considered when the expected average future quality of life is negative. For the sake of argument let's consider a healthy person to have a quality of life of 100. A dead person inherently has a quality of life of zero.

Health problems and disabilities lower quality of life. The fact that anyone chooses suicide implicitly is saying that their perception of quality of life (and it has to be their perception, everyone has their own yardstick) has gone negative.

It's not just whether it's *currently* negative, but what is the sum of future expected quality of life?

Let's take a patient who considers their quality of life to be -10, with an expected lifespan of a year. I'll take the unit as days, so they have a total expected quality of -3650. I'll be generous and figure a miraculous save occurs 1 in every 100,000 cases and that a save returns them to full health (very unlikely) and gives them another 20 years (again, unlikely--people typically have other processes at work that would in time kill them.) Total expected quality is 730,000.

100,000 people.
One is +730,000, for a total gain of 730,000
99,999 are -3650, for a total loss of 364,996,350

Clearly, hoping for the miraculous save increases suffering.
But it obviously wasn't impossible to make alcohol illegal in the past.
In the UK up to 15.5 mph counts as a bicycle, faster is supposed to categorise as a motorcycle. Though people of course ignore that, the the police sometimes try to stop them: https://news.sky.com/story/e-bike-seizures-surge-as-police-t...

The other bad issue is battery fires - quite a few deaths there.
Translation:

It appears that milk was delivered to the dormitories first thing in the morning, after the same fashion as "the milkman". Distributing said milk was a separate duty from waking up the students, but occurred around the same time; both duties being on a weekly rotation. Therefore it was mutually agreed that the student on milk duty would also bang on the doors as he went, thus relieving the student on Official Door Banging Duty that week from having to get up early to do it. It's unclear why this is described as as a "lie-in", as one would still presumably get woken up along with everyone else...
Are there any cases litigated to trial on this? This case avoids trial by settling, for better or worse.
Considering HN is mostly technologists, the extent of Tesla-hate in here surprises me. My best guess is that it is sublimated Elon-hate. (Not a fan of my former neighbor myself, but let's separate the man from his creations.)

People seem to be comparing Tesla FSD to perfection, when the more fair and relevant comparison is to real-world American drivers. Who are, on average, pretty bad.

Sure, I wouldn't trust data coming from Tesla. But we have government data.
Exciting, I love Svelte! Does anybody have experience with both Vue and Svelte? It's been a while since I used Vue but it seems like both frameworks have converged quite a bit over the years. With this release I'm particularly curious now: why would somebody pick one over the other?
I've been saying now for a while Bluesky is going to win, and it's easy to predict why. Mastodon has the completely wrong approach, its features are certainly interesting but the whole problem with it is most people are having trouble figuring out how it works and while they've produced a lot of content to help people figure things out they've forgotten it's supposed to be intuitive for most people. Bluesky has the same federated features, but it was smart enough to hide it under an intuitive and by now Familiar UI/UX. It's really not a good sign that there's increasing amounts of educational content explaining how to use Mastadon, it means they don't get the desperate need to simplify it so anyone can use it, ya'll who berated me that Simplicity is it's own form of Genius had a point. I might not like that point but, It's why Bluesky is going to win this fight.
It’s widely known they already hire people to post online. Using AI to create fake personas will be cheaper and easier to control and deploy. What could go wrong here? Don’t you trust the government?
It would probably be possible as a third party extension. See Fakespot extension for instance.
Because some people would tell them. For example, the FBI would look at a child porn sharing forum and observe a lot of people sharing Send links. Then they would go to the operators of Send servers, and "strongly suggest" that it should shut down.

I've never heard of this. What specific devices, if you don't mind me asking?

I had no idea a Thunderbolt hub could serve as a parallel Ethernet hub, nor that there were devices that could or would want to take advantage of this.
The first reason that occurred to me why Musk did this was to reduce compute costs. Perhaps the previous blocking algo was too resource intensive and he is looking to lower server costs.
> How about a quarter? Or a tenth?

Probably closer to the latter. The "skin in the game" (physically) argument makes me more willing to accept drunk drivers than greedy manufacturers when it comes to making mistakes or being negligent.

Brain size isn't necessarily a very good correlate of intelligence. For example dolphins and elephants have bigger brains than humans, and sperm whales have much bigger brains (5x by volume). Neanderthals also had bigger brains than modern humans, but are not thought to have been more intelligent.

A crow has a small brain, but also has very small neurons, so ends up having 1.5B neurons, similar to a dog or some monkeys.

Consider the case where there's a quiet observer looking at the screen alongside you. The monitor also needs to identify them so that it can ensure that you're not an accessory to thoughtcrime by letting them look at your screen.
I'm sure the ad revenue is part of it, but the commercial ones are also built for 24/7 operation over the course of years. And I expect another part of the added expense is that they know commercial purchasers aren't as price sensitive.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Maybe it's possible, but consider that some really smart people, in many different groups, have been working diligently in this space for quite a while; so claims of 95% savings on energy costs _with equivalent performance_ is in the extraordinary category. Of course, we'll see when the tide goes out.
So in Göteborg, Sweden, there's an actual embalmed blue whale from the 1800s. I visited there as a kid in the 1980s. Had no idea it was unique, but apparently it's the only embalmed blue whale in the world. Wild.

This is actually a pretty easy system to DIY for small scale prints, I've done it with photocurable hydrogels. The gel is available off the shelf (Pluronic F-127), and it's no problem to rig up a pressurized syringe to any moddable 3-axis printer.
> For the same reason I find extremely odd that the hypothesis that animals don't have any form of language is even considered as a serious claim in introduction.

I guess I've always just assumed it refers to some feature that's uniquely human—notably, recursive grammars.
One advantage of a travel router, to me, is convenience. It's pretty great to have my own (portable!) LAN while out and about.

I just show up at the hotel and get my router online.

After configuring that singular device, my other stuff all works together: My Chromecast, my laptop, my smart speaker, whatever gaming system I may have, some ESP32 project or other that I've been tinkering with, or whatever -- I just turn stuff on and it simply works.

With a travel router that additionally uses VPN to tie my travel LAN to my home LAN, then: Whatever other network services I have at home are also available to me on the road.

It can be very transparent.

And that all conspires to mean that I can spend more time doing whatever it is that I feel like doing instead of futzing around with networking.

There's a saying "God doesn't exist but he gave us the land" which refers to the hypocrisy behind Zionism's biblical claims to the land of Palestine given that its founding fathers were all atheists.
I've never seen it put so succinctly but this is the issue I have with blameless culture. We can design CI pipelines, linters, whatever it is to stop certain issues with our software from being released but if someone is incompetent, they don't care and will find a way to fuck something up and you can only automate so much.
I'd guess that has more to do with the incompetence of Boeing's management than with some inherent properties of union workers. Presumably they could fix that.
