Help is an interesting word choice for what is essentially undercutting our entire domestic automotive manufacturers and ensuring, on a pure cost front, that the majority of Americans purchase and rely on maintenance for a product produced in China. Doing so would have major negative consequences for our own strategic interests, hence why there has been such a massive tariff on it for several years now. China isn't being altruistic when they're attempting to sell us their much more affordable EVs. It's not a uniquely US perspective on the threat of Chinese EVs either, as the EU also has lesser but still non-trivial tariffs on Chinese EV brands.
> Those are not the signs of a perfectionist society

I beg to differ. They just apply perfectionism to different areas compared to what you have listed.

Different cultures attract efforts to different areas.
Probably the US should mandate (by edict or incentive) its own industry to build EVs rather than importing a strategic asset from a strategic competitor.
Wouldn't approved H1B by definition fall into the desired legal skilled immigrant category?

Anyone who cares about numbers isn't going to form their opinions reading HN in 2024, the debate for them has been settled since the 1980s. We're in a 40 year run where people who can invest in nuclear reactors are better off than people who do not.

If there is anything to talk about seriously it hasn't come up on HN in the last few years. The last time something happened that moved the needle on whether there was any real policy question by the numbers was probably Chernobyl.

Very much this, I have > 25 years programming experience, but not with typescript and react, it’s helping me with my current project. I ignore probably 2/3 of its auto suggestions, but increasingly I now highlight some code and ask it to just do x for me, rather having to go google the right function/ css magic

If you’re going to be parsing it anyways, and there’s the possibility of actually doing something with that parsed info beyond just reprinting it, then storing the post-parse results is probably better. Especially if you’re only going to need a reduced subset of the information and storage matters.

If you’re just reprinting — you’re parsing only for the sake of rendering logic — then storing the parse-result is probably just extra unnecessary work.

Also if storage isn’t a concern, then I like using the database as intermediate storage for the pipeline. Grab the RSS, stuff it in the DB as-is. Take it out of the DB, parse, store the parse results. Etc. You’ll have to do this anyways if you’re going to end up with a processing queue (and you can use PG as a simple queue.. SELECT…FOR UPDATE), but it’s nice-to-have if your pipeline is going to eventually change as well — and you’re able to reprocess old items

> Store it in multiple columns after processing it and it may require different logic for different websites + changing your overall python processing logic requires a lot of thinking on how it might affect some source.

Don’t you need to deal with this problem regardless? Ideally you’ll find a common subset you actually care about and your app-logic will look like
website —> website handler -> extract data subset —> add to common structure —> render common structure

Even if you don’t use a database at all your app-code will need to figure out the data normalization
This is most likely because OP used Euros. In Europe, prices are listed including VAT. So in day to day life, you only see prices with VAT for your country included.

I would never compare prices without VAT.
Very few Android phones have a pressure sensor.
Having a cloud account is entirely disconnected from the activation state of Windows, and always will be. The activation state of Windows is a property of a Windows installation, because Windows installations — all the ones Microsoft cares about, at least — are managed (including license management!) by the IT departments of organizations; while Windows logins are managed by individual users.

Microsoft would be breaking their own business model in half if they forced each user to have a "Windows subscription" bound to their personal cloud account, instead of being able to just sign a $10MM/yr contract with Oracle or EY or whomever for a 100K-seat volume license.

Remember also that many large-scale deployments of Windows machines aren't of personal computers at all, but of:

1. workstations with non-cloud Active Directory-managed user accounts, with the accounts and data on the machine being backed up to corporate servers and thus the machine itself able to be drop-in replaced overnight without the user even noticing the change;

2. workstations with roaming user profiles configured, where many different people log in and out of the same computer throughout the day (think: computer labs, internet cafes, etc)

3. shared workstations where many employees log in and out of the same computer throughout the day (may overlap with 1) — think of the computers behind the desks at the customer-service wickets at a bank

4. machines with no logged-in users, only an AD administrator remote-managing them through domain privileges — think e.g. digital signage

If licensing status attaches to the logged-in user, then none of these use-cases work! And together, these use-cases form 80+% of how Microsoft makes money from Windows!
If only he was consuming CO2.
It might be worth noting that outside North America, we all see and think about prices post-tax.

Built it all - decreasing the cost of energy is how we raise quality of life. More non-oil energy is how we decrease carbon emissions.
Skill issue. You had to do some actual research on the boards. I grabbed a few manuals and ended up with an asrock.
What? There's arguably no person on earth who has done more to slow and eventually reverse climate change.
> I would question the ethics of engineers whom employ a strategy of preferring politics over delivering solutions.

This too harsh. There's nothing unethical about delivering what your manager tells you instead of what you believe the customers need. Going rogue — as opposed to doing what you're told — is not necessarily the ethical choice.
Of course it does, because that means he will put populism above his own beliefs.
from my own experience. There are some amazingly interesting use cases for organising family life. We have shared drop offs/pick ups with another family which is a constant flow of WhatsApp messages.

France leads the world in this department, with 70% of their electricity generation coming from nuclear, and serving as the world's largest net exporter of electricity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_sector_in_France). The consensus among sources I can readily find is that home consumers pay around 25-30 euro cents per KWh for electricity, and electricity production wholesales at around 8 euro cents per KWh.
I'd say it's competitive, yes.
Nuclear energy seems to have been mostly opposed by the same people who want green energy. We can have the best of all worlds, no need to slow down on renewables, but there was some serious hesitation on nuclear up until recently. I'm glad that's changing.
"Solar is viable if we depopulate the temperate zones"

>Heck, A LOT of things that have that desirable "made in Japan" sticker are made by abused migrant workers with very little protection and pay. They aren't even made by the "mythological perfect and careful Japanese hands."

Same with made in Germany and the US. Actually, Made in Germany is worse.

Every consumer electronic I have labeled Made in Germany is absolutely crap. The Bosch stove has the sealing gasket wrongly mounted, the Siemens vacuum cleaner is poorly designed and built, so is the Fujitsu laptop I just sold which felt like bottom of the barrel e-waste.

Electronics from Xiaomi, Huawei, etc feels way better built and better designed than stuff labeled made in Germany.
Meant to say that `c` triggers the “commit” interaction. Just `cc` if you want to commit without options.
You generally get a custom mold for your ear canals and a specially tuned DSP for your frequency curves + BT connection to your phone for calls, at least. Your device can be retuned over and over as long as it functions, too.

What drives the prices up is a multitude of factors: High end DSPs, micro speakers which can do good sound reproduction at required frequencies, relatively low sales volume, R&D expenses and of course an insatiable appetite for profits.

These things always cost and arm and a leg in here, too.

Of course he's for nuclear energy; he's not very smart, as witnessed in the emails to other top tech CEOs, disclosed in some recent court cases.

Like most SV types, he doesn't understand that just because there's no CO2 coming out the stack doesn't mean there's no CO2 footprint. The plant construction, operations, and fuel supply all have enormous CO2 footprints.

Nuclear is also the most expensive per kw/hr of any method of generation. As it matured as a generation method, it has only become more expensive.

...which is why nuclear and coal plants have been shutting down across the US and elsewhere; they just don't make good fiscal sense for power companies. Wind and solar have plunged in cost and are almost an order of magnitude cheaper, and energy storage tech is rapidly maturing. And no, this isn't hurting us; we're building out solar and wind at a rate 7 times faster than the nuclear capacity being shut down.

They also don't have any of the security or safety concerns. They can also be distributed far more easily; nuclear power plants are very difficult to site because you have to find an intersection between "the grid can take tens of gigawatts of power being injected here", "there is a plant nearby that can supply the plant with power during standby or for cold start" and "it is geologically stable enough". Contrary to popular rants, the biggest problem isn't NIMBYism.

Further, nuclear can't change load any faster than on a timescale of "many hours" so it's only usable for base load.

> While he has also spoken about increasing oil production, that's about energy security -

You know how you get "energy security"? Diversifying energy sources. IE: Wind, solar, energy storage, and more HVDC transmission lines.
Solar has a great price per watt as long as you don't mind getting all of your watts on some days and none on others.
The SNCF is for regional and national train (with the exception of the RER) where the possibility of having a cow coming on the rail is non-negligible ... or a hot air ballon landing on the rail and stopping the Nantes-Paris lines for a whole morning :D .

So I think it is a much, much harder environment to automate. Paris do have some metro line that are fully automatic (line 1 at least) and both Rennes metro lines are fully automatic. It is much easier to control the environment around a metro and ensure that nothing can go on the rails, and have surveillance system to check if, if it does happen, it is detected ASAP.

Well, isn't it a good thing that they can help fight climate change without being altruistic? The entire western capitalist model is based on the premise that capitalism is good because people can help improve society through selfish means. Altruism doesn't scale. It's best when incentives are aligned.

The problem isn't with keeping Chinese cars out through tariffs. It's keeping them out, and at the same time not stimulating domestic green energy development enough. Why should the energy transition be bottlenecked by incumbent interests' profit margins?
First thing I tried to never work more than 80% (~35 hours per week). It's the first thing I ask for, not money. Having a day in the week just for me felt like pure luxury. Perfect to get things done and actually enjoy my weekend.

However actual freedom came through building my own things. Before I build something I always ask myself
if I could leave this project for a month without it suffering, so I plan my freedom in with automations. Many many projects later some worked out.
I wonder how they plan to keep costs under control. Spending $19 billion USD on 2,4GW capacity as with Georgia does not sound like a keeper.
For storage at least, you can pop your existing nvme drive into a thunderbolt enclosure and use it on a mac mini. Over TB4, it should run at the drive's full speed (so long as you get a decent enclosure).

It won't help the RAM situation, but storage at least is upgradable like that.

What an excellently worded comment and great analogy. I've witnessed so many similar things in Japan.

It isn't until very recently that new houses in Japan were built with insulation. Why? Wearing a bunch of layers, slippers, sitting in front of a kerosene heater or under a kotatsu... It works, so why fix it? Maybe it's a lack of creativity, critical thinking, or suppliers.. but it doesn't matter. If it kinda works, don't fix it.

Which is interesting, because hundred of "keep warm in your house" little junky products have come out in the past decade like USB warmers and whatnot.

And yeah, there are some arguments (other than the status quo) against insulated houses: more cost, when houses are seen as a one-type-thing and not a long-term investment. No basements for a furnace for central heating. Earthquake standards. But really, it's mostly just the same "Why" from your comment.
How do you measure "advanced"?
I'm also on the unlimited search tier, and honestly never needed to reach for the more results button even once. Kagi always delivered.

Having a low number of results has a net benefit of lower cognitive load for me, so I like how Kagi returns less results, not more.

But "more results" is counted towards a new search, and I didn't know that. Thanks for pointing out.
Your last sentence sounds optimistic. Load-bearing "easily". Any convincing needs to demonstrate that also the "libs are owned".
The door of a microwave typically doesn't form an RF-tight seal. Instead there's a groove that forms a resonant trap at the microwave's operating frequency. So it'll probably block 2.4-GHz ISM-band stuff like Bluetooth (I don't actually know how wide the trap band is compared to a BT or wifi channel), but outside that band all bets are off.
Yeah, back in 2017 Musk stepped back from his advisory role for the first Trump administration after Trump decided to pull out of the Paris climate agreement. "Climate change is real. Leaving Paris is not good for America or the world." (https://www.theverge.com/2017/6/1/15726292/elon-musk-trump-a...). But still, he decided to throw his weight behind getting Trump reelected. Not sure if his convictions have changed, if he sees Trump as the "lesser evil" or if he hopes to be able to influence him, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see...
It’s a niche thing you’re trying to do, and likely not seen code that does that, thus it can’t help … it can’t actually think its way around it.

There is still large opportunity. Most of my searches are for plain text information.

> But what if I don't want to search Reddit, stack overflow, and blogs from the early 2000s

That is a strawman. There are huge numbers of websites (including authoritative ones like governments and universities) and a lot of content.

> There is an entire working generation that never heard a modem sound and has never even made a consideration for making sure their content is accessible in plaintext.

If they want video they will do the same as everyone else and search Youtube. Different niche.

> I'm sure all the LLM providers are already considering this, but there's so much important information that is locked away in videos and pictures that isn't even obvious from a transcript or description.

That is true, but if you are getting bad search results (and the market for other search engines are people who are not happy with Google and Bing results) that does not help much are you are not seeing the information you want anyway.

That does not include the deficit these reactors ran up, nor all the subsidies they got from tax payers in many forms

This is really cool! I might use this to help plan some of my 2025 vacations

Some suggestions for useful features:

- Ability to customize the work week. I only work Mon-Thurs, which will greatly affect the optimal solution

- Add arbitrary holidays in case the company gives an extra day off, this would nicely complement the existing feature to turn off some holidays

- Select an arbitrary time frame less than a year long. This would be helpful especially to plan end-of-year vacations

- In addition to or instead of the previous point: input what vacations you already have planned. Obviously I can't always take only the most optimal vacations, but I could potentially make my existing ones more optimal by extending them in some cases

Thanks for sharing it! Really cool idea, I've only done this kind of planning ad-hoc in my head, it never occurred to me to solve it exactly
This is a very interesting article. I suppose something similar can be made for vehicles entering a tunnel, where eventually will lose the GNSS signal.

"Operational production reactors coming online in 2040."

That's about a decade and a half too late. We need to be reducing our carbon footprint right now, and we have that ability: wind and solar. Low initial impact, fast to net carbon negative.

Nukes take decades to dig themselves out of their carbon positive holes, if they ever do so at all (the nuclear industry does not account for most of the CO2 generated from supply and operations.)
