How was it better? I think a lot of people plan precisely because it feels virtuous, but that's true regardless of whether it's effective or not.
Your comment seems to have nothing to do with the statement "It took Europe a century to leave Christianity behind."

Instead, you seem to be using it as a stepping stone for your own grievances and vile bigotry.
Also see https://github.com/gumyr/build123d (which is closely related to CadQuery, my understanding is it's successor). I used b123d for a project this year and it turned out perfect. When I need to make a change, editing some version controlled py and watching the model update is very satisfying.

However there's a major issue with SSDs. SSDs keep their data for ~10 years, which is a lot shorter than most people realize. "Spinning rust" will remain operational for longer and should keep the data for at least a century. You cannot have data on SSDs for backup or data hoarding.

I get that spinning rust is put to shame by CD or DVD (even writable ones), but still.

The stakes of deploying a buggy code into the data center production code can easily cost millions of $$$ and yet we still see that one of the primary usages of LLMs today is exactly in the software engineering. Accountability exists in every domain so such argument doesn't make law any different than anything else. You will still have an actual human signing off the law interpretation or code pull-request. It will just happen that we will not going to need 10 people for that job but 1. And this is at this point I believe inevitable.
I’m not paranoid about Google, but smart TVs inevitably come with dreadfully slow boot times, clunky animated menus, and just generally lots of crap to work around, even if you primarily interact with them via HDMI. I miss TVs that respond before you take your finger off the button.

Does very much depend on your location. In the UK a dehumidifier is still often a good idea in the winter because although our humidity drops, its nowhere near enough. Inside can still be high 50's, in older properties it'll never really go below 60%.

Really a lot of our older homes shoud be retrofitted with a MVHR unit to help things as ventelation is awful in most houses. I'm actually quite surprised a lot of landlords in the UK don't do it as theres always a fight between them and their tenants who don't necesserily want to leave a window open all day in the winter to stop mold.
Would building that North-South transfer capacity even help?

It seems like the basic mental model here is that it would equalize prices between Northern Sweden and Germany, not between Northern and Southern Sweden. And Germany is quite a bit bigger than Northern Sweden. So what should then happen during these German shortfalls is to move the German prices (and Southern Swedish prices) down by an imperceptible amount, while the Northern Swedish prices go up by a ton.
I was reacting to a comment that said a dependencies.txt and a venv was enough, so in the model I critisized there is no pyproject.toml

> Regardless, majority of the times, deployment is done via Docker.

What, generally? In your peer circle? I'd say [citation needed] — docker has the problematic habit of inducing more moveable parts that can bite you, so I know many who — if given the choice — would rather deploy python projects without it. Having deployed many python application on actual bare metal and VMs alike I'd say the ratio of Docker VS just Python is more like 1:8.

Does Sweden have a single power grid or is it segmented like Norway?

Title is misleading. She criticizes Swedish energy policy. Her gripe with Germany is that they only have one price zone.

> there is still a massive net benefit for the youth, and I hope it opens the door to more social media scrutiny

More realistically it just opens the door for US social media companies to fill the very profitable gap left by TikTok. Do you believe that for no reason whatsoever except the kindness of their corporate hearts, Meta, X, Alphabet, and others will just decide to abandon this segment?
Sounds exactly like Norway. In a sense I don't mind us making billions of selling our electricity to the rest of Europe. Problem is how it's increased prices domestically as well. So government makes billions, people suffer. Most people thus wants to "cut the cables" overseas, but I think a better arrangement would be to share the profits. Which we currently mostly do for homes, by having a subsidized max price, but energy-consuming industry is struggling.

> This blame game is all about supporting current political narratives about nuclear power etc. It's not really about the energy crisis.

In Norway there's a push for nuclear, but I also feel some of it is not honestly about solving anything related to energy. A vocal (minority I hope?) is mostly muddling the water as they're against anything green, so they know this will just stall other things for decades while things are being planned. Or they're against windmills and thus try to push this instead. It's a weird debate, where I certainly can see why nuclear is beneficial or why some people are against, but many of the arguments aren't in good faith.
Right: rainbow has not been evaluated for HMAC or PRF (Sip's main security objectives), but it's not designed to be secure, just to have good stats and be fast af. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a good PRF, but also wouldn't be surprised if it was broken (by the standards of cryptohashes or HMAC or even PRF).

The part that's hard to automate is where the student actually makes an effort.

Duolingo, probably the most widely used teaching program, is designed around motivating the user to come back every day to the point where learning takes a bit of a back seat, probably because a too-demanding curriculum would decrease engagement.

On the other end of the motivation spectrum, a textbook with exercises and solutions is a teaching technology that really works, with hardly more interactivity required than flipping to the back to check your solution. Of course nowadays you can also ask an LLM to critique your understanding and try to pinpoint exactly where you got something wrong.
My hope is that maybe people will stop viewing life from such a productised and artificial lens that's so far removed from the natural human experience.

Seeing this type of argument always bothers me. It's basically saying that, because people in the past were often overly critical of new technologies or trends, we can dismiss criticisms of new technologies or trends in general. Makes no sense.
Thanks for the tip, a pain point with cadquery was the installation so if b123d manages to solve that it is worth checking out.
Long-term, macro whatever it may be a good thing I suppose, but short term, the average are suffering under multiplied energy costs. Monthly bills are still double that of what they used to be and any government compensation measures have long ended.

End users should not suffer under government / market fuckery.
I was doing machine learning but never dig into stats before. Then I tried to study Bayesian inference and regression by myself and finally I got what it really means and its importance. First I realised that ubiquity of 'likelihood' and 'likelihood function', then I realised it's just a way to parameterise the model parameters instead of input data. Then MLE is a way to get an estimate of maximum of that function, which is interpreted as the most likely setting to give rise to the data observed.

I know it's not statistically correct but I think it helped a lot in my understanding of other methods....
Not a mathematician either but I think some quadratics have a tendency to produce more primes than others. What you are seing is the characteristic of various quadratics when plotted in this way. I plotted something quite simmilar.

Model releases without comprehensive coverage of benchmarks make me deeply skeptical.

The worst was the gpt4o update in November. Basically a 2 liner on what it is better at and in reality it regressed in multiple benchmarks.

Here we just get MMLU, which is widely known to be saturated and knowing they trained on synthetic data, we have no idea how much "weight" was given to having MMLU like training data.

Benchmarks are not perfect, but they give me context to build upon.

Hahaha! :) Good on you. Nothing to stop you posting again :)

Truly I have much experience with Posting Show HN's. There's very little quality difference between something you post that gets 3 points and something you post that gets 300 points. A lot of it depends on time, current dynamic audience, and other posts at the time.

Repeat post to get a better idea of the true interest in your work. I encourage you to do it again!!! :)
The one thing I have been waiting for
You can say that, but on the power flow maps, it was quite clear. At the same time we were paying ~$1.5 USD for 1 kWh, we were exporting power to Germany (and other energy-unstable countries like Italy). Sure, better energy links inside Sweden could have helped, but part of the reason the price was being bid up so high was the exports to Germany.
As you can see in France, you don't make money with nuclear power.

Nuclear power is basically taking a loan (national security and trash which has to be stored at least thousands of years) with a huge risk (nuclear disaster like Chernobyl or worse).
> Once again, E115 decays fully (multiple half-lifes, very little left) in mere seconds and is very radioactive.

That said, this only applies to the isotopes we've been able to synthesize so far. It’s not the definitive answer for all possible isotopes. Nuclear physics theories, particularly around the "island of stability," suggest there could be heavier isotopes of Element 115 with more favorable neutron-to-proton ratios. These isotopes might have significantly longer half-lives—potentially lasting seconds, minutes, or even days or weeks.

We simply haven’t discovered these isotopes yet. With better technology and experiments in the future, there’s a chance we might find longer-lived variants of Element 115, but for now, we can only speculate.
My guess is that TikTok is about to get the Huawei treatment.

Like it happened to Huawei, the US State Department will campaign against it in various foreign countries and seek a similar ban. And like it happened to Meng Wanzhou, the US will use its legal system to pursue key figures in ByteDance, many of whom reside in Singapore, a country which has an extradition treaty with the US.

(If you think I am exaggerating, hear this week's edition of the All In podcast.)
Correct, it's been placed in the wrongs.
I am disheartened but not surprised.
What nuance is there?

> Banning TikTok is not going to impact the free flow of information. That traffic will just move (back?) to other social media platforms.

If I had to pick between sharing my data with the Chinese government or US corporations I would pick China every single time.
How is China filling a void in local energy production? Exporting energy over those distances isn't viable.

I mean granted, China's push to expand their solar panel production has led to affordable solar panels for a lot of home owners and communities, massively boosting solar / renewable energy adoption to the point that local energy grids are at capacity. Likewise, their push to expand production of batteries and cars has led to an influx of more affordable cars into Europe.

But isn't that the wish / goal? More renewable energy, less dependence on petrol and gas and the like? It's just that both the US and Europe didn't invest and scale up as much and as fast as China was able to.

Notably worse at the act of 'slinking'. Would tangle like no other!
yeah, extremely so.

Especially if the country shut downs their nuclear power plants in middle of energy crisis, while there are laws in place that mandate energy exchange between different EU and EU adjacent countries(Norway).

Did they have time to handle it? No, adjusting your grid to be resilient to such bad actors takes more time.
It's the same situation as Norway. We also have a lot of hydro electricity, but the politicians decided to join the European energy market, and the prices have gone through the roof.

I don't understand why the Germans closed down nuclear power plants without also building a viable alternative. There are lots of people in Sweden and Norway that don't have a lot of money, and have to skip showers and live in the cold because they can't afford to spend more on electricity.

We were promised a balanced market where the cables would be used to cover temporary spikes and drops in power production. Now it seems that we are subsidising bad German politics instead, and they have not delivered on their part of the deal.
> ... and introduce 'energy zones' that get increasingly more expensive as you approach Denmark.

No. For 98% of the multi-core sensitive code I don't have nor I need shared ownership. While C++ doesn't force you into such semantics but provides you with the ability to do so, the Rust semantics and compiler pesimisstically do. I am going to stop here since I'm repeating myself and you're blatantly going over my points.
Maybe?

I was about to write a small essay on how everything from monitors to speeds seemed to be stagnating.

But I actually think there is a chance we might gain two new revolutionary[1]ish ways of interacting with computers within the next decade.

LLMs might truly bring us talking computers. Siri is old, and current AI is a fair mix of real advancement and overhyped, but once the dust settles, I wouldn't be surprised if a significant chunk of the population talks with their computer.

XR devices will likely keep shrinking and I figure somebody will find a killer app for them eventually. 20 years ago, a computer sat on a desk. Today I have one in my pocket. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if in 20 years, I have one in my glasses.

Of course, all of this is speculation. And I don't think the PC is threatened, but it will probably face competition from new ways of using computers.

> any speech being made on TikTok can instead be made on other platforms

That wholly depends on what are the other platforms. Meta's platforms for example are pretty heavy handed in their censorship:

https://www.hrw.org/report/2023/12/21/metas-broken-promises/...

And Youtube is not that much better.

To be fair, some of the same voices that get censored on US platforms are also getting censored on TikTok (though I currently cannot find the posts or articles that highlighted the issue)

Swedish government: "We'll only use electric cars!"

Also swedish government: "Please don't vacuum or do laundry on cold days when everyone has extra heaters on"

Also swedish government: "Everyone's income is public record!"

Also swedish government: "We'll give money to people with large homes. The larger the home the more money they will get, because they have more costs for heating."

Also swedish government: "This money is not income and not public record."

Sweden is a very corrupt capitalist country that is still riding the socialist image they created long ago. But that sweden died with olaf palme. Sweden today is a completely different thing.

Remember that the "corruption index" things are about perception, so if you have a good marketing department (and a police that never arrests anyone for corruption) your citizens will generally not know corruption exists.

I live in sweden. I've seen how police investigates corruption: "pin everything on the immigrant cleaner and pretend the managers who signed the budget didn't know anything about it" is the strategy.

Also the widespread racism that makes most people believe swedish people are inherently honest and immigrants are genetically dishonest helps to sell the story :)

Before you downvote me, go live 10 years in sweden, learn the language and meet people who are born there.

I find the idea of reversing the air flow direction every 30s simpler to understand than two counter-flowing pipe side by side.

Imagine a pipe filled with 3 metallic grid sections (such that the air temperature in the section will equalize with the metal temperature) separated by plastic grids (such that the heat isn't conducted through the metal), and you push air alternatively from one hot side at 20°C to a cold side at 0°C for 30s and in the other direction for 30s.

For symmetry reason, the pipe will passively (we don't count the energy required to move the air) have a gradient of temperature from the hot side to the cold side. The first section will be ~15°C, the second ~ 10°C, the third ~5°C. (Each section temperature is the temporal average of the temperature of the air flowing from previous sections : so because air switch direction, it means it's the average of left and right sections.)

From the point of view of the house, you only lose energy from the first section of the pipe which will be more like 15°C rather than 0°C.
Market consolidation is bad but i'm hoping this is the start of something. Even though with the elect it probably isn't
