Cute. I didn't know those existed, and they do make sense.

It's only solving part of the problem though: Sure, it can keep the charge at around a self-reported 50%. But the device itself doesn't necessarily have a good idea of what 50% even means, especially as the months and years tick by and cells age, unless it is allowed go closer to the extremes (closer to 0 and closer to 100, sometimes).

The reasons for this get weird. Near the edges of the curves (0 and 100), the BMS can use voltages to figure out where things are. This works well.

In the middle of the curve, voltages are damn near flat and cease to be an indicator of state-of-charge, so the BMS counts coulombs instead. This works too (for awhile).

Except they're not ideal batteries. They age even if they're not being used at all, and shit happens just as it does for any other non-ideal entity. So on a long-enough timeline, even a perfect coulomb counter doesn't necessarily have any way to accurately report state of charge.

The way that this problem is dealt with on a phone that actually gets used like phones get used is that the BMS can reset the coulomb counter during the peaks and dips of a normal charge cycle, based on voltage.

But charge cycling doesn't happen even with a Chargie-equipped phone sitting on a shelf and running Docker containers, does it?

Well that's an interesting hypothetical but what they actually did was more like reducing GDP by a trillion and murder a billion people.

You appear to be justifying the deaths due to it making financial sense overall, when it didn't. A small group profited at the expense of everyone else, even if you ignore the deaths.
That's already happening with earthquake insurance in California. It costs so much and covers so little that the smart choice for most homeowners is to put the money into structural upgrades instead.

Why wouldn't that be? We've had several generations of LLMs since ChatGPT took the world by storm; current models are very much aware of LLMs that came before them, as well as associated discussions on how to best use them.
They extract concepts from their training data and can combine concepts to produce output that isn't part of their training set, but they do require those concepts to be in their training data. So you can ask them to make a picture of your favorite character fighting mecha on an alien planet and it will produce a new image, as long as your favorite character is in their training set. But the extent it imagines an alien planet or what counts as mecha is limited by the input it is trained on, which is where a human artist can provide much more creativity.

You can also expand it by adding in more concepts to better specify things. For example you can specify the mecha look like alphabet characters while the alien planet expresses the randomness of prime numbers and that might influence the AI to produce a more unique image as you are now getting into really weird combinations of concepts (and combinations that might actually make no sense if you think too much about them), but you also greatly increase the chance of getting trash output as the AI can no longer map the feature space back to an image that mirrors anything like what a human would interpret as having a similar feature space.

Well at least HN is at the point where you could write it out and not get any personal attack. So things are improving. In 2016 - 2020 it wouldn't even be upvoted in the first place.

I also dont think you need to be in journalism to understand the business case around it. People just need to understand business, or i.e the realities. But despite the swing back to somewhat moderate discussions, HN's pro business stance have been on the decline from the start and shows no kind of recovering.

So please continue to chime in when you can. It certainly help to balance the dynamics of discussion.
Single user systems can just not ask for a username if there is only one, they control the UI
That's true but if you're concerned about payload sizes then 10k records is way too much to pre-send, and in general I think it's safer to depend on the server sending a known max size of html than it is to pre-send all the json every time.

Unless you're using tailwind or some other variation of inline styles, I don't think a typical formatted <tr> is going to be much bigger than a json record anyway. It might even be smaller if the json includes extra attributes that don't make it out to the html.

But I agree that if you know you have a tiny amount of data and you don't want to involve a server then it would be better to do the entire interaction client side. But nothing prevents you from plugging in a small client side lib (not react) and using server-side for everything you can.
You're being a bit disingenuous here. The legal system fears jury nullification because of precedent, and the complete clusterfuck a nullification makes of interpreting common law. Judges and lawyers basically have to ignore everything about that case. The case law, which is considered "discovered", has to be thrown out, because it'll make no sense otherwise. Stare decisis just doesn't make any sense in a nullification situation. This still doesn't mean nullification doesn't have a place. It is a check of the populace on a prosecutor/law enforcement with an agenda, a corrupt judge, or insane legislators/unconscionable laws. Nullification is the most important, and powerful democratic check on the judiciary available.

It's also a really bad idea to bank on getting. As voir dire (jury selection) is basically the prosecution devoting all their resources to make sure that they don't get a jury stacked with enough jurors willing to nullify. A judge might also declare a mistrial if they get a sense a nullification attempt is in the works or likely. A prosecutor may decline to prosecute, or petition for a change of venue if they get a sense the populace would just nullify anyway. Judges will tend to be very cross and threatening at the prospect, and will lecture at length about how bad it would be if you chose that path, etc.... etc.... It is very much the judicial equivalent of a vote of no confidence in the system, and the system hates being confronted with it.

Long story short, it's a populace's nuclear option with all the baggage that entails. It being employed is a signal that so much is wrong, the populace cannot conscionably allow the system to proceed as normal. It's a wake-up call to all three branches. Legislators that the law they passed may be unconscionable, the executive in that the People cannot endorse their execution of the laws as passed, and the judiciary, in that in no way shape or form can this randomly selected jury abide the status quo.

> A problem with this whole discussion is that "homeless" means people that are sleeping at friends' houses etc, but to the average citizen when they're complaining about quality of life issues caused by the homeless they are referring to the subset of homeless people that are "unsheltered".

It is true that a lot of people complaining about "homelessness" are actually complaining about personally seeing a homeless person. But homeless people are also people. Our society owes them dignity too. I believe that what you describe is not a problem with the discussion, but a problem of empathy among people who would just as happily have a homeless person die as house them, since both do the job of keeping that homeless person away from their walk to work equally well.

Somewhere you can find a job that pays a living wage.

Selection pressure can be measured. If a big chunk of DNA is missing from a third of a population with no apparent ill effects, the onus is on you to show that it was somehow important. Of course there is plenty of non-coding DNA which is under selection pressure and therefore does something important, but everyone has known this for decades.

The single most common sin in all of science is to misrepresent the null hypothesis because it makes getting positive results easy. In article form, this translates to when you see a title "Everyone thought X but actually Y," 99% of the time nobody thought X and Y is otherwise unremarkable. They wanted to remark on Y, though, so they cooked up "Everyone Thought X" to facilitate the presentation.

> the damage has already been done in the sense that it leaked a lot of training data and PII data to China

That's not nearly the damage that people are organizing against. It's hard to imagine China really gains much simply be holding some trove of old details about some subset of US consumers, no matter how large. Vanishingly few users are individually interesting from halfway around the world, and the aggregate data grows stale quickly.

The pressing concerns are in them being able to (a) advance their global political agenda by dynamically manipulating what people see and how its presented to them in a way that almost nobody can monitor, and (b) intercept ostensibly private messaging between select users. From the national security perspective of a foreign government, both of these are huge vulnerabilities in a hot or even mildly warm conflict with China as most of the globe seems to be anticipating.

And the fact that pushing back against these strategic threats raises ideological conflicts with Western celebration of free speech and free trade -- making it hard for the government to do anything about the threats and stoking internal conflict when they try -- is gravy on top of it.
In fact, you're not very good at them! Voir dire is a ridiculous process that doesn't exist in England and Wales.

I've not used TikTok but from what I've seen most of what it does seems like it could be done well purely on the web, except maybe video creation but shooting a video in an app and uploading to the web doesn't seem like it would be too onerous.

I don't think there can be with sqlite's backwards compatibility model. The DB has to assume it may be accessed with multiple versions of the library or clients using different pragma settings. So one client disabling strict (or using a version predating that feature) and inserting a bunch of violating records would break the DB file when used by another client with strict enabled.

With it part of table creation, which IIRC is read for each connection to create the schema, it's part of the DB file not the client configuration. If you open a DB using strict with a version that doesn't support it, it will fail but not cause problems for other users.

As long as it's legal, there is nothing very wrong with it. If he committed crimes that influenced the election, then the election is void and he should be banned from politics.
For me, I think the lack of more generalized appeal of the interface is a net benefit, because it limits its appeal to only those that are most interested in the content. When it becomes too nice, and the audience too large, it will probably lose the thing that most of us are here (as opposed to reddit) for.

So even though I really like (and will bookmark!) this new interface design, I hope HN proper never changes.

If "other countriers" is "the UK" [which you mentioned in another comment] then that makes perfect sense: UK bread is uniformly shite, whether artisanal or not, so much so that I can tell you the one place where I've had decent bread in the last ten years (a sandwich shop in Canary Warf, in the train station; don't know if it's still there).

The bread I make at home is order of magnitudes better than any of the bland, dead, oversalted bread I get at local supermarkets in the UK. And I'm nowhere near a baking enthusiast, I just make it at home so I can eat tolerably good bread.

But try, say, France, or Italy, or Spain, or Greece. Just go to a bakery -if you can figure out which ones make the dough in house (in France there are rules for this). And then we can talk about mass-produced German sourdough.

Although I bet the Germans make great pumpernikel.

I want to thank you for doing this, but for a different reason: it reminded me how much I appreciate the vanilla HN layout.

I viscerally HATE all the news sites that look like your project.

I've sought alternative sources of news with a more old-school look, without success.

I used to think it wasn't just the pictures. I found the average quality of reporting went down, along with a rise in clickbait headlines and stories, around the same time mainstream outlets adopted the new format. I figured that may have been part of what conditioned me to hate it. But now I realize the cosmetic factor really is quite substantial.

I like being able to digest lots of information in front of me at once, and the words on the HN site pack in better density (I guess it turns out not every photo is worth a thousand of them). Yes, the timber roof photo looks great. But too many of your crowdsourced pictures feel almost generated, rather than authentic to their associated piece, and I find them distracting.

Thank you YC, for sticking to your guns and keeping the 'boring' layout all these years!

The Court did not say that the law is subject to strict scrutiny. The majority holds that they need not decide whether strict or intermediate scrutiny applies because the law satisfies the more stringent test.

The concurrence by Judge Srinivasan would instead hold that the law is subject to only intermediate scrutiny and uphold the law on that basis.

Why do it this way? It takes away a potential avenue of appeal for TikTok. They can’t ask the Supreme Court to hold that the law is subject to strict scrutiny, because that issue wouldn’t help them overturn this ruling.

If you had forced the rest of the panel to choose, I think they would have landed on intermediate scrutiny.
