Oh wow, that's amazing - thank you! I really appreciate your offer and I love RWGPS. I just read your comment about about all the hardware you're using at RWGPS and it's clear you're operating on a completely different scale than I am :D Right now, I'm just running Graphhopper on a €40/month Hetzner server and free tiers on Vercel and Maptiler. Though I already hit the free-tier limits for Maptiler so I'm quickly setting up a Martin server to server Europe mbtiles on some cheap server instead. Once the traffic drops after this HN post I think a low-cost server should do the trick for now.

As for Graphhopper, I ran into some challenges during the Europe-wide import stage. It turns out 64GB of RAM wasn’t enough, so I ended up spinning up a 128GB instance on AWS. After tweaking some config settings and following the deployment guide, I finally got it working. I also had to change the source code a bit to link each "official bike route" edge to its corresponding OSM relation info but I managed to get it working in the end(using KVStorage and KValues).

For now, my planner is pretty basic, so I don’t want to bombard you with beginner-level questions. But if something more complex comes up down the road, I’ll definitely take you up on your offer to reach out. Thanks again—I really appreciate your help and generosity!

I empathize with the Russian people in the same way I empathize with Indians forced to get their news from Modi. They are good people, fed a falsified narrative that preys on their insecurities more than it helps them. Putin "won" by fabricating multiple attacks on Russian soil and then politically positioning himself as a strong-willed savior that would do anything to protect Russia. This narrative has since been warped and evolved into a general opposition to all globalist influence and the demonetization of liberal thought. To many Russians, it's all one big conspiracy between NATO to prevent Russia from modernizing, so they (in theory) are willing to accept almost any level of suffering if it means Russia is safe and threatening their perceived enemies.

When you actually see this brainwashed rhetoric in the wild, it sticks out like a sore thumb. They will always blame NATO for things they aren't involved in or situations where consequences are justified. They reach for nonsense strawmen like Jewish conspirators, underground CIA bunkers or homosexual subliminal messaging. Anything can be responsible for Russia's collapse, as long as it's not the Russians.
This power law argument immediately reminds me of education studies literature that (contrary to the math teachers in this thread) emphasize that mathematical ability is learned cumulatively, that a student's success feeds on itself and advances their ability to grasp more difficult material.

As for my own half-baked opinion, I want to say that the Church-Turing Thesis and Chomsky's innate theory of cognition have something to add to the picture. Homo sapiens as a species essentially has the capacity to think analytically and mathematically; I want to argue this is a universal capacity loosely analogous to the theory of universal Turing machines. So what matters is people's early experiences where they learn how to both practice and, critically, to play, when they learn difficult ideas and skills.

Also, as an amateur pianist, most people don't know that modern piano teaching emphasizes not fixed limits of the student but that many students learn the wrong techniques even from well-meaning piano coaches. Just the other day I was watching a recent YouTube Julliard-level masterclass where the teacher was correcting a student on her finger playing technique, presumably this student had been taught the wrong technique since childhood. With music or sports a coach can visually see many such technique problems; with math teaching it of course harder.
In what sense is it a manipulation? If I have a billion in cash and spend it all on a stock, that stock price will go up; that’s not manipulation. That’s supply and demand.

Like I wrote, wage theft, which is very much 'theft of income', is often a matter of civil law, just like copyright infringement.

Piracy and theft-theft are criminal law.

While you may think they are all the same, the law clearly does not, and you've been subject to a lifetime of corporate activism to convince you they are the same.
The whole thing with eliminating 70 discrete 1U server size AC-to-DC power supplies is nothing new. It's the same general concept as the power distribution unit in the center of an open compute platform rack design from 10+ years ago.

Everyone who's doing serious datacenter stuff at scale knows that one of the absolute least efficient, labor intensive and cabling intensive/annoying ways of powering stuff is to have something like a 42U cabinet with 36 servers in it, each of them with dual power supplies, with power leads going to a pair of 208V 30A vertical PDUs in the rear of the cabinet. It gets ugly fast in terms of efficiency.

The single point of failure isn't really a problem as long as the software is architected to be tolerant of the disappearance of an entire node (mapping to a single motherboard that is a single or dual cpu socket config with a ton of DDR4 on it).

> Having a wall on your border is perfectly acceptable.

Sure. Israel goes further; they demolished the airport in 2002, have blockaded the port since 2007, and by treaty control access even via the Egyptian crossings (which they currently physically occupy as well).

> And no, having a wall isn't the definition of occupation.

Correct, but that wasn't my assertion. Control of the population within that wall makes it an occupation. It's the same difference between "I'm gonna wrap up in a blanket and stay in tonight" and "I'm under house arrest".

> Gazans were even allowed to work in Israel...

> The part being questioned is why it's more difficult for others. For example, my wife and I share an almost identical diet and activity level, yet i struggle to keep weight on and she struggles to keep weight off and with similar lifestyles. CICO works of course, but not only do our bodies innately do different things with the calories that they process but we simply experience that world differently.

If you and your wife eat the same diet in the same quantities, it's no surprise she would have a propensity to gain weight and you wouldn't unless she's substanially larger (i.e., taller and/or heavier) than you. Women in general just burn fewer calories for similar sized vs. men. That said, this is ALL population averages. Everyone knows someone who seems to be able to eat literally anything and never gain weight... it likely is just as simple as their metabolism is such that they burn more calories than the average person. Population variation will always lead to some people with outliers both in high expenditure and low expenditure.

Why not? Stop calling it "the entire company colluding and lying" and start calling it a "messaging strategy among the people not prevented from speaking by NDA." That will pass a casual Occam's test that "lying" failed. But they both mean the same exact thing.

What a fantastic piece of writing. Gripping. Thanks for posting it.
The question is: is the flow worse for people in general, or only the ones in cars. If those cyclists and pedestrians would've been in cars (i.e. if there wasn't good bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure), would the flow for the average person be better? Would it even be better just looking at people in cars?
Good advice, really. love it. Maybe I can try harder to control these issues. One challenge with this is finding a way to talk about it without it sounding like I'm just complaining all the time

> The key results: In the first approximately 30,000 kilometres, the loss of capacity is accelerated, and the so-called state of health (soH) drops relatively quickly from 100 to around 95 percent. With increasing mileage, real degradation decreases. According to the Electrive portal, Aviloo data from the 7,000 vehicles showed a (average) SoH of around 90 percent at 100,000 kilometres. According to this, the trendline is almost horizontal, between 200,000 and 300,000 kilometres, it is almost stable – and is well above the 70 to 80 percent of the battery guarantee. In fact, it is rather 87 percent.
Things like -48VDC bus bars in the 'telco' world significantly predate the OCP, all the way back to like 1952 in the Bell system.

In general, the telco world concept hasn't changed much. You have AC grid power coming from your local utility into some BIG ASS RECTIFIERS which create -48VDC (and are responsible for charging your BIG ASS BATTERY BANK to float voltage), then various DC fuses/breakers going to distribution of -48VDC bus bars powering the equipment in a CO.

Re: Open Compute, the general concept of what they did was go to a bunch of 1U/2U server power supply manufacturers and get them to make a series of 48VDC-to-12VDC power supplies (which can be 92%+ efficient), and cut out the need for legacy 5VDC feed from power supply into ATX-derived-design x86-64 motherboards.

I was curious about why setting `$this->countryCode` inside the setter for `countryCode` didn't result in infinite recursion. Turns out this is spelled out in the RFC, but not in the docs:

When a hook is called, inside that hook $this->[propertyName] will refer to the “unfiltered” value of the property, called the “backing value.” When accessed from anywhere else, $this->[propertyName] calls will go through the relevant hook. This is true for all hooks on the same property. This includes, for example, writing to a property from the get hook; that will write to the backing value, bypassing the set hook.

A normal property has a stored “backing value” that is part of the object, and part of the memory layout of the class. However, if a property has at least one hook, and none of them make use of $this->[propertyName], then no backing value will be created and there will be no data stored in the object automatically (just as if there were no property, just methods). Such properties are known as “virtual properties,” as they have no materialized stored value.

Be aware, the detection logic works on $this->[propertyName] directly at compile time, not on dynamic forms of it like $prop = 'beep'; $this->$prop. That will not trigger a backing value.

Feels like too much magic to me that a property access can mean different things depending on context, but I'm not a PHP user, so I don't get a vote.
> Rust crates need namespacing to avoid this and similar problems going forward.

It hasn't been implemented despite crowd demanding it on HN for years because it won't solve the problem (namespace squatting is going to replace name squatting and tada! you're back to square one with an extra step).
The illegal moves are interesting as it goes to "understanding". In children learning to play chess, how often do they try and make illegal moves? When first learning the game I remember that I'd lose track of all the things going on at once and try to make illegal moves, but eventually the rules became second nature and I stopped trying to make illegal moves. With an ELO of 1800, I'd expect ChatGPT not to make any illegal moves.
There was a lot of pain and suffering along the way to html5, and html5 is the logical end state of postel's law: every possible sequence of bytes is a valid html5 document with a well-defined parsing, so there is no longer any room to be more liberal in what you accept than what the standard permits (at least so far as parsing the document).
This isn't really news, just another study confirming past results. And of course it correlates really well with mountains of real world data from places like Teslafi.

This comment is just pure misinformation. Nobody is claiming only 41 deaths.

You're citing an irrelevant Wikipedia page as a source that has a crazy edit history going back and forth between "41+" and "62,413 conservative estimated" deaths

Show HN: Llama 3.2 Interpretability with Sparse Autoencoders
I spent a lot of time and money on this rather big side project of mine that attempts to replicate the mechanistic interpretability research on proprietary LLMs that was quite popular this year and produced great research papers by Anthropic [1], OpenAI [2] and Deepmind [3].

I am quite proud of this project and since I consider myself the target audience for HackerNews did I think that maybe some of you would appreciate this open research replication as well. Happy to answer any questions or face any feedback.

Cheers

> The ICC largely deals with things that are preemptory norms which apply regardless of if you sign the treaty.

That's irrelevant. Anyone can form an independent organization and proclaim that nations of the world are subject to the rules set forth by that independent organization.

The point is that they have no intrinsic authority.

Authority comes from either moral sanction (of the people, by the people / consent of the governed) or through force.

In other words, the enforcement mechanism has to come from those that opt-in to that organization. i.e: through mutual agreement.

Which means that any "violator" nation can then say "GTFO and I dare you to come at me and see the full force of my police (if you try to arrest my citizens) or my military (if the participating nations declare war on me in an attempt to enforce these 'laws')."

So it still can only come about through mutual agreements between nations. Otherwise it is nothing more than a rogue body that sends armed thugs to try and enforce its rules while nations get to say "We neither recognize nor agree to those rules, nor do we recognize your authority to enforce them. However, you are subject to our laws while you are trying to execute your 'warrants' on our soil. And we will arrest YOU and throw you in our jails if you interfere with the rights of any one of our citizens."
Could that have been the case a few hundred year ago as well? Artificial light, even candles and oil/wood, was fairly expensive till 200 or so years ago.
This does a much better job than anything I've seen before. Nice work. It still doesn't generate routes I'd use as they're too circuitous due to the poor cycle infrastructure in the UK. However, it does a good job of highlighting good options and options I didn't even know about.

In my high school we were basically only instructed to get good at applied math. Calculus. Which more often than not was simply "plugging it in". Most of that work is trivially automatible through Mathematica. When I reached a university, I took number theory and abstract algebra and it blew my mind that math was actually so beautiful in a way that defied explanation. When I took real analysis I finally saw the side of calculus that didn't seem like a waste of time.

One day, I went back to my high school and spoke to my computer science mentor back then [1]. I passionately asked him why we were never exposed to group theory. The answer, he said, was the SAT. None of that stuff is on the SAT, so it can't be justified teaching.

GP is not citing the ICC. The ICC never claims 41 deaths are confirmed. GP is citing a Wikipedia article which is undergoing an edit war. The Wikipedia page had cited 62,413 deaths and then was switched to a pro-Israel source that instead says "41+"

ICC never claimed only 41 deaths were confirmed

> But I do think it’s wrong to put no value on the reason behind the popularity of that visceral reaction.

Not being killed is also a very popular visceral reason for pedestrians and cyclists to want cars to slow down in our cities, and for motor vehicle regulations to address the yearly carnage they cause every year.

What value should we give to their desire of not being killed, and how should it be weighted against drivers' desire to drive what they want, where they want, when they want, and how they want?

Just a fun experiment: try replacing "driving a car" with "stabbing random people on the street" or any other activity that involves people killing around three people per 100,000 population every year in your country. It's interesting how our perception changes when we get out of the context of motonormativity.
