If I making rice in the instant pot I can't use the instant pot to make actual food.

Also that 12 minutes is not inclusive of the 10 minutes it takes to get up to pressure, and the instant pot cannot keep rice warm throughout the day.
Many of us have kids to feed! The economy is not bursting with jobs anymore since rates rose post-COVID.
The biggest factor is how complacent these car companies have been for years to throw away all the quality and prestige associated with their brand name, and the lead they had over Tesla and other ev focused companies.
It is hilarious how bad offerings from Audi/bmv (VW is too shit to compare) compared to Tesla simply because the dinosaurs didn't wanna reimagine their build process. They actually can't even if they want to; unions have them by the throat.
And Chinese companies have the benefit of watching Tesla, learning (and stealing) from Tesla and others + lower wages.
Legacy automakers can't even compete with Tesla; how will they compete with Chinese ones?
It probably wouldn’t hurt, but you can’t really rely on Highschool education for election security. There are many people that don’t go to Highschool, and those that do probably forget half the stuff after a year. For an election, you want it to be basically obvious how it works in my opinion, anything that takes longer than 5 minutes to explain makes it easier to create doubt in the election.
It's like asking what are the differences between Visual Studio and Notepad++. Literally >90% of the tools in Excel don't exist in Calc. And there are big ones in the list (eg. pivot table, vba macros, solver), not just small feature..
Hah, well, it was easy in some ways. Performance expectations were so low that I could have cruised for years if I didn't care about my job. Just not easy in other ways.

Feel free to make rice the night before if you have dinner plans the next day, it'll work out fine in a good quality Japanese rice cooker!

This could also be a case for non-managed objects in the same process. APIs aren't typically very friendly, but I would expect they could be made so, especially if it was for a dedicated use-case like caching.

Nah. They've had a long time to perfect rice cookers. The $40 Walmart one works fine. If it turns out you use it a lot and you really want the nicer one, then spend the money for it. But honestly the cheap one is fine.

Actually, almost all of your body runs on glucose. Your muscles for example.

But that glucose is made by your body from the food that you eat, at a steady pace.

But if you eat sugary food, it will increase your blood sugar level too fast. Causing your body to produce lots of insulin. The insulin's job is to get the sugar out of your blood to restore safe sugar levels. The two ways in which insulin does this is:

- Using the sugar for muscle cells that are active and need fuel.

- If there are no muscle cells needing fuel, then it gets stored as glycogen in fat cells for later use, when blood sugar levels are too low.

So even though almost all of your body needs glucose, it's not the best if you eat that directly. Unless you would consume the glucose in a constant way keeping your blood sugar level constant. That could be done with an IV, but our bodies have this mechanism that they can take high- protein/fat & low- sugar/carb contents food and use that as a constant source for several hours. Then you only need to refill the stomach once in a while instead of being connected to an IV all day.

Edit: BTW, when the blood sugar level spikes from sugary food, insulin will spike thereafter, causing the sugar level to drop very fast, eventually making you feel tired and hungry, craving for a quick (sugary) snack, and the cycle starts again.

The Help America Vote Act passed in 2002, adding important mandates such as a hand-recountable paper trail for every electronic voting machine. Concerns predating that mandate were a very different beast than the unfounded claims one party is making now.
What do you mean by considered bad practice? By whom? I would think this is one of the reasons that my Macs since 2008 have just worked without any HW problems.
It's 14Mb with 400+ libraries included. `cargo bloat` shows that top function by size is from rustls (SSL support). For a container with a single binary, it's huge space saver. Moreover, I can easily optimize binary by size to 7.9Mb binary (20kb per crate on average).

> because it breaks (broke?) the hashing Yocto does.

It's problem with Yocto. In my case (few years ago, before the war), I just build RPM packages by my own build system and then install them on top of pure Yocto system. I optimize my binaries for embedded by size.

In theory, debug symbols can be separated to a separate debuginfo rpm, and installed only when needed or mounted remotely from a host system. In practice, I just install the binary enhanced for debugging (with debugging and tracing features enabled) directly to Yocto device, then add test case to reproduce the problem on host, because I hate debuggers.
> Options to share via Bluetooth and 3G and a third unknown option that lets you enter an address

That option is labeled 통보문 (tongbomun), North Korean for "text message," and the second screen asks for the address and phone number, presumably of the contact to send a text message to. That's likely why the app has the ic_launcher_smsmms.png icon.
It's so many things. Dishonesty, lack of technical competence, political pressure, hype, organization structure, and incentives.

If I had to summarize though, it's that the median performance in any field will be at much lower levels than outsiders expect, and some fields with hazier results have this level set very, very, very low, especially when they're hyped up. But also that the market is actually at least a little bit efficient, but over long time scales. I think there's a 50%+ chance that the role of Chief Data Officer begins to die off, but also that it'll be replaced by something silly.
`The purpose of the system is what it does.’
Yes, even when we get designs that passed multiple rounds of user interviews, even after developers went over them and approved and estimated work, we still end up finding undefined behaviors while coding it.

We would need AGI-level AI to code software from English and not produce buggy mess.

On the other hand, current top LLMs are pretty great at writing chunks of code if you specify exactly what you want. I am personally impressed with Claude 3.5.
Show HN: An app for biomechanically-optimized exercise selection
I built an app that analyzes individual anatomical variations (limb lengths, joint alignments, mobility patterns) and matches them with biomechanically suitable exercises.

The matching algorithm considers:
- Valgus/varus alignment
- Limb-to-torso ratios
- Joint mobility ranges
- Anatomical leverages

It then cross-references these data points with a curated database of exercises to determine optimal movement patterns for each body type.

The pattern is clear, though: a LLM by design will enforce whatever patterns it detects. As a consequence, we’ll end up with a content heat-death where all available content is pretty much the same
> getting the count absolutely correct isn’t necessarily as important vs more systemic biases

History lesson: The 2004 Washington state governor's election was decided by a mere 129 votes, and only after multiple recounts and repeatedly "finding" boxes upon boxes of supposedly uncounted ballots in the weeks following election day kept altering the totals and overturned the original result. The election was extremely controversial and not decided until two days before Christmas. Due to these irregularities, many people did not accept the results for years afterward.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Washington_gubernatorial_...

Even more bizarre, the election closely shadowed the plot of the movie Black Sheep, which was released 8 years before.

well there you go, youve lost the majority of people who use computers. If you use emacs and/or vim or their various flavors then you are the equivalent of an f1 driver questioning why anyone uses an automatic vehicle.

Id posit the fact that in my day jobs where I am issued a mac laptop that then plugs into a kvm switch where the keyboard does not match the same key commands as the OS unless I set up a ._ file, and that this has happened at multiple jobs going back to pre covid era, as a sign that macOS is actually a worse user experience.

EV conversions aren't gonna catch on due to the complexities of removing everything from a ICE car.
Almost every state lets you vote in person instead if you prefer. And if you do, any mail-in ballots that were sent out under your name are null and void. So if you don't trust it, just vote in person and problem solved.
I'm sure they are doing plenty of calculations beforehand, too.
Would it have helped to put it in second? If this the case. Why don’t we put the car in highest gear instead of first?
If the technical problem was solely about counting then obviously everywhere in the world we would be using machines by now. But we don't. Because the technical problem is trust, not counting.
There's a pretty huge difference between implementing a performance optimization that works in your use case, and upstreaming that optimization to be generally usable.

The latter is often orders of magnitude more work, and the existing solution is probably chosen to be well suited in general.
I think you misunderstand the saying. Information wants to be free — it is naturally so cheap to copy and transmit that its marginal cost is effectively zero. That doesn't mean you want it to be free, or that WIRED wants it to be free. Like nature abhors a vacuum, or water seeks the sea, information wants to be free. Yet we still build thermoses and reservoirs.
Manufacturing a coal power plant also takes energy. Clearing the site for a coal power plant also takes energy. Same for the infrastructure.

Did you ever ask those questions for coal or gas or oil? Or is it only for solar panels that they seem suddenly relevant?

Seems like any small step towards cleaner power is a material improvement, if small. There's likely no single thing that can be done that will solve the issue in one fell swoop. Asking or hoping for that is ridiculous.

>What was the energy requirements to manufacture the solar panels? To clear the site? How much ecosystem was bulldozed to put that many panels in?

Statistically, probably about ~1% of what an equivalent MW of coal takes, like the rest.
Define internet here.

Having recently had a week long internet outage I can say quite confidently, nothing really.

The things that caused me massive anxiety during that outage was things that are real time.

No communication, since all my communication is through VOIP services of some sort, even mobile calls might be down depending on how you define internet.

And no banking at all, my bank doesn't even have physical branches and most banks in my country have gone that way, even going to a physical branch for one of the larger incumbent banks they just put you on a call with their call center, they cannot help you locally. The tellers and just fancy ATMs and they charge you a premium to use them instead of the ATM outside. If you thing that wont be an issue, well the internet is down, that local branch is useless.

There's still many cash based business so that's less of an issue for me but we will definitely have pandemic level panic again. I mean during the pandemic people bought all the toilet paper here, not the food but the toilet paper...

Online media will be the least of your problems and large swaths of that information is available and backed up at libraries around the world. Likewise if only the network is down the servers still exist so the data didn't go away.

Also if Y2K taught us anything is that we will solve the problem relatively quickly and even if what we currently know as the internet fails a different form of the internet will be back up soon enough.
At some point the argument type changed from "unsigned int" to "byte" aka "char". But "char" is signed on many popular architectures. So this

The lifecycle emission of an electric car is on average a total of 10T of C02-equivalent. Contrast that the ~40T with a fuel-powered gas or electricity generated from a coal plant. It's still a reduction-factor of 3 to 4.

I believe since 2002 all electronic voting machines must produce a paper receipt like that, due to the Help America Vote Act.

I don't think most states hand-check every single ballot, but I'd be shocked if there are any that don't perform random audits where some sampling of the receipt are hand-checked.

Interesting to know. Seems people who reply here, a bit assume it's a group of competitive coworkers who mostly don't know each other, in a big cut-throat corp?

I'd been ok with that meeting at my first job (together with my closest coworkers only). It'd been weird at my 2nd job though. I guess it depends :-)
Wow and it doesn't open with a picture of their lego server? Wasn't that their first one, 25 years ago?
Sorry for being so negative but why do people keep building these Actor frameworks for Rust? None of them get any usage.
When I did this a number of years ago, and it was only around 5-6GB, or about 20GB with all the images. I also added about 4GB for windows, android, iOS, Linux, and Mac OS apps to parse/view the data. All of that fits on a 32GB flashdrive that I used to keep on my keychain but currently is in my glove compartment I think.

It sparks some amazement in me still to wrap my head around the reality of so much information in a thing the size of my pinky. Or the size of my pinky nail if you use a micro SD card. And yeah, just took a weekend of downloading and setting it up, and flashdrives/microsd cards are easily found at department stores, or even gas stations sometimes.

Even disregarded any potential doomsday utility, the amusement/amazement it's brought me was well worth the modest time/money it took. I hope more people give it a try
It avoids dangling chads and improperly filled bubbles which were both used to steal the 2000 presidential election.

I have never used such a machine but the UX could be a lot clearer than the analog filp-and-punch machines used in Florida in 2000.

I don’t love software in the voting process but printing the choices is verifiable and reduces ambiguity in the voting process.

Food for thought that the parent didn't mention.

You will be unable to communicate except through face to face meetings. There is no more POTS(plain old telephone system), the entire world routes phone calls over the internet. There's no IM, the physical mail system will at least become dramatically backlogged if not fail entirely due to infrastructure failure internally and the new increased demand.

In my country is it not just that there isn't a POTS system, there isn't even copper. You have a FTTH(fiber to the home) link or a mobile connection. To my knowledge even in the US fiber terminates at the distribution point and your cable supply is last mile only.

I don't know what even will cause a global internet outage at the scale but it will be global panic.

AI might be nice to generate stuff. But as all code generators it has the issue of supporting the generated code long term.

With AI it is even worse: You don't get reproducible runs: Trying to fix a simple layout bug and suddenly some updated AI generates something completely different because it learned some new tricks and you cannot go back to what you had before and suddenly the whole page doesn't work anymore?

Sounds like fun!

Because web browsers are supposed to be locked down and able to run untrusted code, not an operating system that reinvents all the same failings of actual operating systems. They should be functionality impaired in favor of safety as much as possible. For the same reason you don't get access to high precision timing in browser (a lesson that took a while to learn!), you shouldn't have arbitrary capabilities piled onto it.
That is nonsense. If you can run your code on 10 servers instead of 1k servers, that is an insane time and money saver that could make or break a company.
