What’s the point of rapidly speeding up EV adoption if you have elected “drill baby drill”?

Is that to save humanity ?
Off-topic, feel free to ignore: I'm enjoying lit-html with web components (and no LitElement). Feels pretty native and down-to-DOM, kind of like building my own framework while building my own app. The aspects I need to control are mostly in my control and the aspect I don't care about are handled for me well.

Paired with Claude Sonnet 3.5 and I'm more productive than I've been in years.
My wife is an English prof at a local University. She is tired of being put in the position of being an AI cop. She is tired of 10% students whose work was flagged
wasting 50% of her office hours trying to convince her that their work is real.

For her literature classes - where the class grade is composed of a participation grade and a written work grade - she is strongly considering getting rid of all written homework. Instead all writing work will be hand written in class.
What we do depends on much more than our goals. There's also stress, time pressure and workload, emotional problems, money issues, competitive pressure, fears (of failure, of disappointing important people, etc.), exhaustion, etc.

People don't do bad things because that's their goal but because of these issues. If you give humans an easy way to do bad things, many people under pressure will do it.

It’s amusing to me how I just read a thread on HN where the top comment was about the unintended consequences of regulation resulting in far worse outcomes than the problem they set out to solve.

Meanwhile, at the top of this thread, we have someone advocating seizing control of all public speech and media to forcibly eliminate any perceived advertising messaging. With very little thought in the replies paid toward the potential unintended consequences.

What could possibly go wrong creating a centralized body to police all speech for perceived commercial intent. I’m sure it would be all roses and sunshine!
Now observe kids that have grown up with Siri/Alexa/hey Google being just there. My kid controls their multi-colored lights with Alexa. We taught them to search with voice on their (locked down) tablet before they could read and write. To them, it’s normal. Much like it’s normal for screens to respond to touch, and for photos and videos to be immediately viewed.
The new rule does have clarification that they at least have to show you the final price with taxes+shipping before they're allowed to take your credit card. Those ones I get, because they can't be calculated without knowing your billing zip code.
Agreed, but you know someone will shout bias or whatever
Yeah, it's actually amazing I was able to buy 75 little computers with their own buttons, LEDs, wifi and internally hosted HTML pages for $15 each delivered overnight.

But yeah, building a custom house. It's definitely not for the faint of heart. Having done it now, I like to advise "If you're someone with the resources to build your own custom home, you'll find the experience transforms you... into someone who no longer has the resources to even build a garden shed." :-)

To be fair, we knew this going in and only did it because we happened to have access to a deeply experienced general contractor who'd built high-end custom homes for several friends of ours over the past 15 years. And he has his own dedicated crew, most of who have worked only with him for much of that time. Although he wasn't the cheapest (nor the most expensive), he had an extremely impressive, personally verifiable track record. That's very rare to find, and without it, we probably wouldn't have even considered doing a custom home. And he did complete the project nearly on time and nearly on budget - and COVID happened during the build. Everyone else we know who was building a home during COVID ended up at least a year late and >40% over budget - so, even though technically a little late/over budget, the guy delivered at a near-miraculous level given the circumstances.
It works very well- the cutoff is always below the bottom of the window even on small sports cars, yet it lights the road itself a long ways. When the back squats due to loading it up, hauling a trailer, or I go over a bump with the front wheels- the headlights always stay pointed down out of peoples eyes. My vehicle is 15 years old, newer German SUVs have dynamic beam shaping that detects cars and actively blocks the light in just the right spots.

Related to your other comments- I think taller vehicles should still have the lights themselves mounted low, and should angle downwards somewhat, not just forwards. It should not be legal to build or drive a car where the cutoff is high enough to blind people in normal cars.
As you mentioned, this was a significant trade-off. We faced two choices:

(1) Stick with a single Docker container and Postgres. This option is simple to self-host, operate, and iterate on, but it suffers from poor performance at scale, especially for analytical queries that become crucial as the project grows. Additionally, as more features emerged, we needed a queue and benefited from caching and asynchronous processing, which required splitting into a second container and adding Redis. These features would have been blocked when going for this setup.

(2) Switch to a scalable setup with a robust infrastructure that enables us to develop features that interest the majority of our community. We have chosen this path and prioritized templates and Helm charts to simplify self-hosting. Please let us know if you have any questions or feedback as we transition to v3. We aim to make this process as easy as possible.

Regarding OTel, we are considering adding a collector to Langfuse as the OTel semantics are currently developing well. The needs of the Langfuse community are evolving rapidly, and starting with our own instrumentation has allowed us to move quickly while the semantic conventions were not developed. We are tracking this here and would greatly appreciate your feedback, upvotes, or any comments you have on this thread: https://github.com/orgs/langfuse/discussions/2509
Time will tell - the change I'm really hoping will stick is the outlawing of non-competes without consideration.
This device is a volumetric display, similar in product placement (if not exactly the same illumination technology) to the volumetric dome display from Actuality Systems about 20 years ago.

Volumetric displays have their place, but they can't display general occlusion of far objects by near objects. That restricts their application to non-photorealistic scenes that often look like clouds of points.

Since occlusion is one of our strongest depth senses (much stronger than stereopsis), that's a significant restriction.

Big spinny things are also hard to scale.

While other autostereoscopic display technologies like the parallax barrier displays from Looking Glass Factory give up the ability to walk around the scene, they work with no moving parts and can display photorealistic scenes (either synthetic or photographic).

Again, different display technologies have their place, but volumetric displays have historically struggled to compete in the 3D display market.
What about education?
The higher price will be displayed up front and affected companies will have to compete on the real pricing.

I'm not taking the perspective of anyone here because there's hardly any information for me to do that. You're the one that has constructed this whole scenario in your mind based off very little from OP's post.
I've rambled about this on here before, but I'm pretty bothered that the media coverage of these always mentions the 25-year import law, but also always frames it simply as a matter of exemption from safety and emissions standards, never deigning to mention that the law originated in the first place as a protectionist measure.

In the late 80s, Mercedes in North America was getting its lunch eaten by grey-market importers who were bringing European models over and undercutting the American dealers on price. So they blew millions lobbying the government to crack down on these imports, and found a not-wholly-unsubstantiated justification in safety concerns around modifications not complying with American safety standards. So the US just enacted a sweeping ban of any new imports; you can bring in dodgy old cars from the 1990s unmodified, but you can't bring in a 2024 European Mercedes or Japanese kei truck, because they're "unsafe". The new cars can't be titled, and if the feds find out you got one in anyway, they'll literally confiscate it and throw it in the crusher.

Seeing Whistlindiesel in the article makes me realize that there could be a bipartisan coalition here of "government should let me do what I want" conservatives and libertarians, and urban-design lefties who resent having to drive everywhere and would love to buy the minimum amount of car possible to meet their needs if such a thing were possible. My conspiracy theory is that burying the lede on this is intentional because people buying $12,000 Japanese imports wouldn't be buying $60,000 F-150s.
That is fine because then someone decides to buy something based on what it costs. The status quo is that some company decides to backload the cost with hidden fees and then all competitors need to follow by doing the same or they will be "undercut". This is just bad for consumers because it makes it very hard to determine what they are paying for something and how to compare it with other prices.
I have, of all things, a logic analyzer that runs HP/UX 10.20 (HP 16702B). Of course, it's not on unless I'm actively using it, so I don't have to be concerned about the power consumption, unlike a K-box.
Honestly, TypeScript and React are in such a good space now that adopting those two is a near no brainer. You need discipline to not bring in millions of other dependencies.

I've done the whole "I'll write it all in JS by hand" to a ludicrous degree: https://luduxia.com/whichwayround (and the rest) and while there were advantages when this started I am now looking to port the useful bits over to saner ways for future maintenance.
That's fine. Just tell me the price up front.
You're right that businesses might roll fees into the base price, but that’s the point: transparency. When all costs are upfront, customers can more easily compare prices between competitors. Hidden fees make price comparisons difficult and misleading.

Take airlines, for example—if one shows a $200 ticket and another shows $180 but sneaks in $30 of fees later, the second one appears cheaper. By requiring prices to reflect the full cost upfront, businesses compete on the actual price rather than deceptive practices. This won’t magically lower costs, but it will force clarity and reward companies offering genuine value.

Consumers should have a clear picture of what they’re paying, not a surprise at checkout. Isn’t that just fair competition?
That's how grad degrees are done. But there's simply not enough time to do this at an undergrad level with potentially hundreds of students.
It is a very, very important lesson to learn: how to understand and acknowledge ones failings.

The impulse is to defend, as failings are weakness and represent instances of unattained agency. In this day and age, agency is all you've got, most times. One feels the need to protect it at great expense. Have you ever noticed how crap it feels to over-defend something that turns out to be an abundant triviality?

So, to have the wherewithal to turn those weaknesses into strengths is an extraordinary human endeavour, and a testament to the strength of human spirit.

When people say that there are only material things in life, it will be interesting to consider this story where the moral principles of Captain Kohei Asoh led him to maintain his agency over his life as a pilot by protecting (superlatively), the lives of his passengers, in a material and ethical sense, and admitting the mistakes made in light of actual success.

Would the 'I fucked up' conjecture feel different if he were uttering it from the ashen mess of a death bed, with far worse survivor basis behind the statement?

The spirit is clearly composed of decisions, remembered for win or fail. Seems to me, a strong soul prepares for this eventuality, in perpetuity... I have to wonder if Captain Asoh was also, incidentally, a very good pilot.
I think this is what most people here are looking for:

So which is better? Ticket price shows at a price of 100 dollars upon checkout you get a ton of fees and it balloons to 140 dollars. Or ticket price shows as 140 dollars you can choose to buy it at said price or not no surprises later in the checkout process.

If prices are perceived as high from the moment someone searches for it they may be more tempted to check elsewhere or opt out.

1. I'm not convinced by this argument, airlines compete on list price. If they can add a bunch of fees after winning on list price, they can move more and more of their costs into the fees and are no longer competing on the real price.

2. Let airlines compete on transparent pricing. I think this alone is enough of a benefit to this move.
I think that's all we want. To know the cost upfront so we can compare choices efficiently. We don't expect businesses to lower total cost, just be more cooperative and less exploitative in communicating it.
Makes sense... Still kinda sad that something so old has to meet an untimely demise.
Ignoring your last sentence - I'm well aware. These changes increase price transparency and that's something we all benefit from. Junk fees are a way to exploit psychology and ignorance to extract more money out of consumers than they'd like to pay.

I'm okay with things being expensive - I'd prefer if they weren't but that's the way to the world - I'm not okay with things being expensive and companies advertising them at a far lower price.
Not likely; sales tax is extremely complicated in the US. There are 13,000 sales tax jurisdictions, and many of them have different and incompatible rules for things like sales tax nexus.

Maybe I do.

Is it most? I don't know.

And do most do it because their emotions and values give them this urge, or is it that they want to fit their social circle or comply with their cultural norms? I dont know
No, the reason they tack on the fee as a "tax" is literally to confuse and otherwise mislead the public to the true cost of the product they're buying, or mislead where the money is directed. they're buying from. If you believe in the Tennant's of capitalism at all, then you must have clear price representation.
What exact bullshit legislation people have been charged under is something I don't care about.

Then that's an irreconcilable difference between us. I happen to think that factual details matter and are very important. Moral narratives, not so much.

What you are essentially trying to convince me that I am crazy.

No, I'm just pointing out some very basic logical gaps in some of the stuff you were saying. Which would suggest that you are, at worst, perhaps a bit underinformed about certain things. Or otherwise not taking as critical an eye to the various media sources you ingest as you perhaps could be.

That's all that need be said. I recommend we give this topic a rest, and move onto other threads.
Congrats on the Launch!

Ah, I think I misunderstood that comment. From a global perspective "the benefit" compared to using passwords in a password manager is indeed exactly what I said, but I guess that user was asking more about the personal benefit on an individual level.

From that perspective it just makes the UX slightly smoother and makes it impossible for the site to screw up and leak your plaintext creds. Other than that yeah there's not a big difference compared to using an autofilled, unique, randomly generated password. Which is good, because eventually sites are going to start phasing out that latter option for the exact reasons I outlined in my previous comment.
I would not be hopeful. From AP news:

> Four of the FTC’s five commissioners voted to approve the rule. Commissioner Andrew Ferguson, – who is President-elect Donald Trump’s choice to replace Khan, was the one dissenting vote.

https://apnews.com/article/ftc-junk-fees-rule-hotels-tickets...
Because even I, somebody that cares about all of this a ton, sometimes copy paste passwords out of my password manager because nothing else works. Because temporary read-only backend compromises shouldn't lead to catastrophic and persistent security breaches (because passwords are provided in plaintext inside TLS, and TLS is often terminated at the edge). Because educating people for a complex and moving target like the details of authentication seems like a losing proposition at best, and like victim blaming at worst.

So no, please don't blame people, blame bad authentication mechanisms (including passwords) and those that hang on to them despite better alternatives.

> There is no excuse for using weak passwords anymore.

Weak passwords are only a small part of the problem. You can get phished with even a 256-bit equivalent random string.

You can do good things and still be a bad person. I’m glad the company he is CEO of is bringing Internet to rural or underserved communities. However I do think he’s a bad person.

Yes I think I actually spotted this in their video demo where you will notice one of the displays looks way way way better than the rest of them. That would be a projector one.

It is considerably easier to achieve sync and high framerates with LED i would expect. There are also some dedicated chips coming to the market to drive stuff like those POV video signs that are now available on aliexpress for a song.
The main problem is overwhelming voters, for a vote to be meaningful the voter has to understand the propositions that they vote for. Given the amount of legislation passed it is quite unreasonable to expect everyone to do the due diligence for every vote.

What might make such a system work in practice is to only let a small randomly selected group of people vote for each issue. You still get a similar representation as a full vote, but with each person having much fewer votes to attend to it isn't overwhelming.
I live near a busy intersection that has a lot of semi truck traffic (and passenger car traffic, alike).

I don't notice fifteen seconds of low rumble just cruising by -- that's not the problem at all.

The problem is that of the intermittent noise of the occasional loud vehicle accelerating from a stop, and/or exiting a turn.

> The sticker price should be the final price.

God I wish this applied to buying cars as well
There's still a lot of benefit to seeing the prices up front vs. fees which are added on later. It can be a frustrating experience to realize that something you think is affordable is significantly more expensive once you make it to the checkout screen.

For example, I've been booking a group trip lately, and I found that the sticker prices for some things didn't include many fees, so it was more of a hassle to actually get accurate quotes. At the same time, the companies which were providing these prices have an incentive to hide fees, because that's what all their competitors are doing – they have pressure to be competitive both at first glance and at checkout.

With a level playing field, these fees should be incorporated into the total price across competitors, allowing for easier cross-shopping. I'm excited to be more confident I can quote what I see initially vs. going through a checkout flow.
great point about the transformation pipeline, that's a very strong part of our motivation: it's never "just transformation", "just ingestion" or "just python", the value lies in being able to mix and match technologies.

as per the lateness: ingestr itself does the fetching itself, which means the moment you run it it will ingest the data right away, which means there's no latency there. in terms of loading files from S3 as an example, you can already define your own blob pattern, which would allow you to ingest only certain files that fit into your lateness criteria, would this fit?

in addition, we will implement the concept of a "sensor", which will allow you to wait until a certain condition is met, e.g. a table/file exists, or a certain query returns true, and continue the pipeline from there, which could also help your usecase.

feel free to join our slack community, happy to dig deeper into this and see what we can implement there.
Amazon in particular probably did a lot to normalize free (in country) shipping in many cases. But it's silly that there should be a sticker price that is the final price under all circumstances.

Mind you, I'm all for more up-front transparency in general, especially to the degree that comparison-shopping is inconsistent to the degree it displays or doesn't display often significant add-ons.
Thanks for the kind words, I will try to get something written up about it.
The only reason websites moved away from that was to "lower friction"

It was never the norm that websites never asked for your shipping address or zipcode before allowing shopping. That's really silly.

Agreed. And if you want to stop smoking or gambling it really is as easy as not doing it.

Except reality is it's hard. Addiction is a real issue, people have underlying compulsions and habits as difficult to break as with physical pressure. For some people monitoring caloric intake isn't the option it is for others.
Isn't that an improvement, in your case?

What solutions? How does one fix a hyperinflated country without painful reforms?
