Not all of Australia. Just South Australia.

South Australia is a world leader in renewable electricity, possibly the OECD world leader, averaging 70% currently. The balance is gas peakers.

Unlike the rest of Australia SA has no coal and no gas so all energy had to be imported. Usually as coal because they are over 1,000km from anywhere so transmission lines are expensive.

They always had lots of reliable wind and solar. So it isn't surprisingly they started their "renewable revolution" as soon as the technology became available, well over a decade ago.

They have to import the gas for their peakers so replacing them with storage is more attractive than elsewhere. But they are flat, so no hydro. So it's not surprising it's one of the first places where grid scale batteries make economic sense.

Their electricity prices always have been expensive by Australian standards. However despite the investment of billions replacing coal and gas with wind and solar, those prices have dropped a little. They expect to complete the transition and be 100% renewable this decade.

I wish this was driven by "incredible vision and foresight", but all they have done is chosen the cheapest option at each step. The only incredible thing about it is they took on the risk of adopting new technologies very, very early, wearing the (sometimes considerable) political pain of abandoning existing plants, capital investments, and jobs.

If the goal is to make roads safer. Aiming for cheap is good, it means aiming for more people who can afford that safer car. If it's not safer than humans, it should not be on the road in the first place.

It seems they should be able to sue Evolve (the bank), given that they money is there, and there's proof that the money's there.

IE, the risk of 3x damages should be enough to scare the bank into paying out.

You could probably embed raw ANSI SGR color escape sequences { maybe from $(tput) if your terminal might be weird } inside a TIME_STYLE=+FORMAT to colorize the times.

In `lc`, mentioned a bit this thread, you can actually color the age like a "heat map" if you want. I.e. more recent times are more toward the red side of the rainbow and older ages toward the other "cooler" side ("cold storage"). Or whatever color scheme you like. So, if you know you're looking for something recent, the color pops out at you. If you like that kind of thing.
You don’t get to claim that an “event happened long before recorded history under entirely different conditions”, because anyone can make that claim. That’s not science, not evidence. I can claim the same thing for intentional creation, for example.

If anybody has a clue how abiogenesis works, then they should prove it by doing it. Manufacture some bacteria out of sand. Claiming “it takes a trillion years of primordial soup” is an another wild unsubstantiated claim that anyone can make. That’s the same thing as saying: ”wait a few centuries and God will show you.”

By the way, evidence for natural evolution does not contradict creationism, because God could’ve created some things through a process of natural evolution — it’s a false dichotomy to assume that evidence for evolution is evidence against creationism; it’s not. Whether or not natural evolution happened is tangential to the claim of creationism.

The epistemological picture for creation is quite sound. Fermi’s paradox is clear evidence we’re special. Logically, we can define
God as existence itself, and the existence of “anything” is proof of Him. It simply can’t be any other way. The fact that we have intentionality is also proof that intentionality “exists” and that in turn is proof that Existence is intentional.
I don't see the contradiction. Janitorial duties are at the very worst easy to train any person off the street for. As long as people need any sort of minimum wage to survive you can find a janitor.

But that also means that, because minimum wage, your salary will almost never exceed the value brought to that business. Outside of some super crazy regulations of cleanliness.

It gets worse. In US most of the bigger corps institute some sort of means to authenticate you via cellphone, which means that if you want to be remote, phone is effectively a necessity ( which one usually does ). Only a year ago, it was still possible to avoid having to have a cell ( although that meant you had to be in person -- an interesting trade off in itself ).

Anyway, I hate the now.

You have misunderstood china's housing crisis. Its a financial crisis caused by mismanagement by the central government, not an oversupply of housing. The problem is that there are extremely limited investment opportunities in China because most companies are owned by the government. Without the ability to invest in equities the chinese turned to real estate creating a bubble, prices were completely divorced from utility. North america does not have a bubble, prices are high because supply is limited and people want houses, not because buyers think it is an amazing investment.

The way C and C++ are standardized, you can't rely on the correct functioning of anything in the presence of undefined behavior, including memory unsafety. For what it's worth, I also opened a random file in the OpenZiti C SDK and immediately found safety issues like this: https://github.com/openziti/ziti-tunnel-sdk-c/blob/9993f61e6...

That's why this topic is such a big deal. Even people who really should know better like the OpenZiti authors aren't able to reliably write safe code.

While it's difficult to compare the pettiness, this is definitely sillier than the WordPress thing as far as trademark enforcement goes.

Trademark-as-a-Weapon is becoming too common now. Are we going to be forced to use legally distinct (and confusingly different) names for all our libraries now to defend against this nonsense? Pick projects based on the brand protection posture of the licensors? What a waste of time.

I'm sure FDIC will come around at some point and bail out the average folks who got wiped here.

Just like they bailed out the totally average definitely not rich people/corporations who got wiped by SVB collapsing.

Right guys? Right?
To expand on previous answer, right now this would be represented as:

key firstname string;
key lastname string;

auto full_name <- concat(firstname, ' ', lastname);

datasource people (
firstname:firstname,
lastname:lastname
)
address people;

datasource persons (
firstname: firstname,
last_name:lastname
)
address persons;

And a
select full_name;

Could resolve from either table.

The missing bit if you're trying to define a universe across both is actually the union construct; right now a concept is assumed to have one cardinality space.

Something like:
auto all_first_names <- union(first_name1, first_name2);

There's a coupling between the concept definition both as a function input and as a semantic value. They could be decomposed, but you'd still need to recompose them at some point before running a query.

There are so many product hunt alternatives that it's hard to keep track. There are literally services to go around and list you on all of the alternatives. I believe it's about 60+.

The problem with ProductHunt is that it's basically the glory days are behind it. If you want to have a successful ProductHunt launch the key is simple, wait until you're established and then send an email to all your customers to upvote you.

People focus so much on having a good ProductHunt launch like it'll make a difference. They go around begging everyone they know and spamming everyone they don't know asking for an upvote. They'll spend weeks focusing on this product hunt launch and overall get less traffic than they would from posting on here with Show HN and less traffic than they would get from posting on the right subreddits.

Product Hunt and similar launch sites are just focusing don't he false hope that new founders have that the launch matters.

> What might look like low performance in a corporate environment can just be someone setting boundaries and refusing to let work infringe too much on their personal life.

After killing myself at a FAANG because it was what was expected (to my mental health detriment), I have exactly this attitude since. At the end of the day, I'm done. I'm gone. I don't care. Even while I'm there, I'm only doing the amount outlined in the job and nothing extra. When I have a task to complete, I do my best to do it well. But I also don't care and don't sweat making sure it's perfect.

This has worked out great. I think I do a good enough job to be viewed as pretty good at what I do. That's good enough for me. I don't want advancement. I don't want more responsibility. Just give me a cost-of-living bump every year and we're good.

it's not about dignity, it's about history. That's why those FAANGs offered crazy salaries before tapering off some 5 years ago.

The last thing they wanted was for the true 10x'ers to become tomorrow's competition, or for others to work for such 10x'ers. Because if such an engineer could make a 10m/yr business vs being hired for 100k, many would take that business opportunity.

Matt Levine covers this in his newsletter today:

> The other risk, which we talk about less, and which is sort of less intellectually interesting, is that the bank might lose track of the money. You might go to the bank and deposit $100, and the bank might write down “$100” next to your name in its notebook, and then it might spill coffee on the notebook and be unable to read the entry and forget that it owes you the $100. And then you might come back to the bank in a week and ask for your $100 back and the bank might say “who are you? what $100?” And the bank might be totally solvent and have invested your $100 in very safe things, but it won’t give it back to you because it doesn’t have a record of you.

> This risk is also heavily regulated, though you hear about it less. That regulation is just less controversial. There are material and debatable trade-offs in bank capital and liquidity regulation: A bank with tons of capital will be safer, but it will also have less capacity to lend to the real economy, so there are debates about what the optimal level of capital should be. Whereas with keeping track of the money, there are fewer trade-offs. Banks should entirely keep track of the money. Nobody is lobbying for “actually bank ledgers should be a bit more loosey-goosey.” The proper amount of losing track of the money is none.

> And this risk is harder to fix after the fact. If a bank loses all your money, the FDIC can give you your money back, because the FDIC is the government and can print money. If the bank loses its list of who has the money, what can the FDIC do? You can go to the FDIC and say “that bank owes me $100,” but anyone can say that, whether or not it is true. The definitive list of who the bank owes money is kept by the bank. Unless it isn’t. If the bank doesn’t keep a definitive list, then nobody does.

Funnily enough, blockchains fix this. They are ledgers were data is very hard, or impossible, to lose.

> Use the LSP integration of your editor which will show you where the error is as you type, so you catch the problem early

Yeah I do have this set up and it's a very good LSP, but unfortunately frequently if you get the nesting wrong the error is like "the entire rest of the file is wrong". It's often not very helpful.

That's not unique to OCaml. C style syntaxes can give "everything after this point is an error" if you get brackets wrong, but it's much easier to figure out what you did wrong.

I have some benchmarks in the project's wiki on Github. I can confirm your point: Rill's main bottleneck is channel operations, the library itself adds negligible overhead on top. Of course, for multi-stage pipelines the number of channel operations grows.

To summarize, I believe Rill's performance would be fine for any problem solvable with Go channels. I've used it for a wide variety of use cases - while I'm not sure I can call them high-throughput, I've had pipelines transferring hundreds of GBs of data with no performance issues.
Having broader support for SSE in the servers repository would be great. Maybe I can encourage you to open a PR or at least an issue.

>Can you not see how there's a massive barrier to doing that

yeah, business is hard. FAANG paying a very cushy salary is relatively easier. The ambitious would still consider such a choice tho, and those are the ones they want to keep in their own company instead of as a future competitor. They literally paid off a competitive labor market.
What problem does PH solve/what problem would this solve?

Honestly PH always felt to me like a time waster. “Oh look at this idea. Neat. Next.”

Now, a website where I can type in the problem I am having and it suggests solutions (with a mix of self hosted vs commercial products depending on my settings) would be super useful. For example: “I want to organize a library full of old photos that don’t have metadata” or “I want a cheap online backup solution with support for Linux servers” or “I want to automate sending personalized-feeling birthday cards to people I know professionally”.
Is it clearly plagiarism? I wouldn't say it is that clear-cut, since in a sense the output of an LLM to a prompt you give it could still be seen as something you produced -- albeit with the help of a magical matmul genie.
LLMs can potentially query _something_ and receive a concise, high-signal response to facilitate communications with the endpoint, similar to API documentation for us but more programmatic.

This is huge, as long as there's a single standard and other LLM providers don't try to release their own protocol. Which, historically speaking, is definitely going to happen.
Work with your IT dept.

A company I previously worked for had a policy that if you had any company data on your phone, they had the right to force you to unlock it and look through it (not sure if they ever actually did but it was in the employee handbook). When IT tried introducing a system that required me to Auth with my phone I refused, citing the policy, and they helped me setup a workaround Yubikey.

Might not be possible everywhere but worth a shot. Also always helps to make friends in IT.
If I understand it correctly, the bank had an account in which Synapse put money. The bank knows how much money Synapse had in its account. This is all that the bank was responsible for. The people who were customers of Synapse's customers, were three levels removed from the bank.

It does seem like you should assume the accuracy of the result decreases as you get away from the norm of an IQ test, though I have no idea if it's been validated. But particularly if there are mistakes on the test questions or any kinds of ambiguity in any of the questions, it seems like you'd expect that.

Like if you have two different IQ tests and someone takes one, and gets 100, if 100 is normed to the 50th percentile, maybe you have 95% confidence that on the next test they're also getting 100 +/- 2.5. But if they get 140, that's normed to like 99th percentile, maybe your 95% confidence interval for the next test is 140 +/- 12.5. (I really don't know, I just suspect that the higher the percentile someone gets, the less confidence you'd have and mostly know stats from physical and bio science labs, not from IQ or human evaluation contexts.)

Of course they do. It doesn't matter if it's independent self-study, a bootcamp, or a formal degree. The goal is to iteratively build on your knowledge, grasp the fundamentals, develop intuitions, and put yourself in a place to continue to build upon that foundation in perpetuity.

>The thing is, the last part does not just explain the joke, it is a very angry rant, and it ruins it for me because of the change of tone.

The original criticism I wasn't objecting to wasn't making this distinction, and so this is a different argument. I wasn't defending the angry tone, only the existence of a section, "if you didn't get it, here's the point".

>Imagine in real life, someone starts making a joke, and then suddenly starts cursing and yelling. I wouldn't be comfortable with what feels like a lack of self-control and I will try to move away before things get violent.

Okay, now it seems like you're saying the section would be bad even with a calm, non-angry tone, in which case my point about the need for a non-joke section applies.

In any case, the standard of "what if this were real life" is a bad one to use. An internet post is not an in-person interaction, and it optimizes for different things. You might as well object to footnotes on the grounds that, "hey, in real life, you wouldn't go on all these tangents because that's distracting".

If you already got the point, by the time you got to the rant, and don't need the explanation, you can (and should) stop reading there. It's not relevant to you. It's supplemental information for anyone who didn't get the point. You know, the ones you don't think deserve the same level of understanding as you, the ones who weren't elite enough, like you, to get the reference.
It really isn't though. Any native English speaker is going to see Hunt Lie.
The problem here is knowing customer balances. A lot of the money is still out there, but it is not properly associated with any individuals so it's infeasible (at present) to get them back their money. Which is different than what FDIC is there for, which is to insure against a bank being unable to cover deposits, but balances have been properly tracked.

If Synapse (and apparently their partner Evolve) had been moderately competent at the job they set out to do, this could have been resolved a while ago. Instead the founder of Synapse is already off to a new venture and doesn't care about the people he screwed over, though I'm sure he feels bad when asked about it. Keep failing up.
