I've been trying to market https://nuenki.app, which translates appropriate-difficulty sentences while you browse so that you can use websites as your immersion material.

I have a similar issue - it requires people to download and try a browser extension, and I have trouble explaining how it works to a non-technical audience. The terminology that lets me succinctly explain it on HN doesn't work so well in other places.

I've found that most of my paying users have come from the overlap of technical people and language learners - most came from a single HN comment that I made before logging off for the night!

It doesn't scale well though. My marketing has been largely unsuccessful.

Your suggestions sound like a good plan, if you can convince them to deal with them. You might find that difficult because of the chicken and egg problem: They want users in order to make it worth their time dealing with you; you need them in order to get users.

Perhaps you could make it work on PDFs? Those tend to be easier to find than epubs.

“These tests are absolutely critical because we have to complete all of these tests to say the spacecraft design is safe and we’re ready to fly a crew for the first time on Artemis II...”

A perfect example of circular logic. These tests are critical because they're necessary -- or are they necessary because they're critical?
I have a Hyundai Ioniq 5, and as such, applaud this.

That said, it won't affect my life much. I mostly commute, and for that, just trickle charge at home (very slow) or plug in at work when I need a faster boost. It's funny how little range anxiety matters if you don't drive long range.
I still use a L1 charger in a SFH because an overnight charge at L1 speeds is 3x my daily driving usage, so I haven't bothered to hire an electrician.

Context-Generic Programming: a new modular programming paradigm for Rust
Hello Hacker News community! I would like to announce and share my work on Context-Generic Programming [1], a new programming paradigm for writing modular code in Rust.

CGP allows strongly-typed components to be implemented and composed in a modular, generic, and type-safe way.
This is done by making use of Rust's trait system to wire up components and simplify dependency management
using blanket implementations.

More details about CGP is available on the project website [1], and the announcement blogpost [2].

Please feel free to ask me any question in this thread. I am happy to discuss in details about the project here.

It's good to see this getting some attention. People should know that removing batteries and replacing them with something modern, particularly non-leaking modern, is a good thing.

Most motherboards work with 3 to 4.5 volts. If a circuit doesn't charge, then it's a simple matter of using two or three AA or AAA batteries. If it does, we can use rechargeable batteries (I've a box of Ikea ones), or we can put a diode in line.

For instance, here's a replacement set for a Quadra 630 motherboard:

If you have a million Xs on the end of each line, when a human is looking at that file, he's not looking at the entirety of it, but only at the part that is actually visible on-screen, so the equivalent task for an LLM would be to feed it the same subset as input. In which case they can all answer this question just fine.

They did not offer that with my Kona Electric purchased this year. Probably because they are offering a $7500 rebate to match the rebates for US produced cars.
This is what John Osterhout calls a _tactical tornado_. It's a programmer who only develops tactically. I find his book, "A Philosophy of Software Design" provides a good vocabulary to think about the technical aspects of this. See Chapter 3: Working Code isn't Enough. It may be enough vocabulary to begin working on the problem without attacking the person.

As for the psychology of such people, I haven't found a single resource. Clearly the system they operate in provides a feedback loop that reinforces their behavior. I'm sure personality, as defined by the Big Five model, plays a part (e.g. orderliness).
You have a hardware problem and different kernels are either triggering it or not. Probably RAM but maybe cache on the CPU.

So they are not selling the rest of the 2024 inventory anywhere? That's the incentive on getting people to buy the '24 model. They need all the help they can get to clear the '24s out so more '25s can take their place on the lot.

buyer: "I like the '24, but the charging port is inconvenient"

seller: "Fret not, we offer this handy dandy adapter. Please please please buy this car"

Not GP, but I use a Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra, which was the top of the line model earlier this year. I also just set it to run at night when I’m not paying attention to it. It’s… fine, I guess.

But if there is anything at all on your floor that will get stuck in its rollers, it will get stuck on it. Like 100% of the time. I’ve seen everything. Charge cables, towels, kids toys, any small pieces of fabric, anything you can think of. It has a camera and is supposed to avoid all these things, but it straight up never works. I have a nightly routine where I clear everything I can from the floors to make room for it, and it manages to find the one thing I didn’t see. And looking at its history it always ends up getting stuck in the first 5 minutes which means the whole clean is a bust.

I would wager my overall success rate (nights where it does its whole job and doesn’t get stuck) is maybe 70%. Just good enough that it’s “worth it” but it’s so frustrating that it can’t simply steer around this stuff, especially when it’s advertised as being able to.

I could rant about the other stuff I hate about it, but suffice to say I still feel that good cleaning robots need another 5-10 years before I could fully recommend them.

If AI reaches this level socioeconomic impact is going to be so immense, that choosing what subject you study will have no impact on your outcome - no matter what it is - so it's a pointless consideration.
1) Microsoft releases a version of Minecraft with AI enabled NPC characters. Within 24 hours, hackers figured out how to make blocky AI girlfriends for ten year old boys. Seizing on the trend, Microsoft ditches Azure & Office and becomes a digital girlfriend company. Nadella celebrates by swimming in a pool full of cash.

2) OpenAI tells Microsoft that digital girlfriends violate their terms of service. Instead of AI girlfriends, they are renamed as virtual copilots with benefits.
This has always been the case. If the monks didn't want to copy your work, it didn't get copied by the monks. If the owners of a printing press didn't want to print your work, you didn't get to use the printing press. If Random House didn't want to publish your manifesto, you do not get to compel them to publish your manifesto.

The first amendment is multiple freedoms. Your freedom of speech is that the government shouldn't stop you from using your own property to do something. You are free to print out leaflets and distribute them from your porch. If nobody wants to read your pamphlets that's too damn bad, welcome to the free market of ideas buddy.

The first amendment also protects Meta's right of free association. Forcing private companies to platform any content submitted to them would outright trample their right. Meta has a right to not publish your work so that they can say "we do not agree with this work and will not use our resources to expand it's reach".

We have, in certain cases, developed system that treats certain infrastructure as a regulated pipe that is compelled to carry everything, like with classic telephone infrastructure. The reason for that, is it doesn't make much sense to require every company to put up their own physical wires, it's dumb and wasteful. Social networks have zero natural monopoly and should not be treated as common carriers.
> working with Tesla to ensure your vehicles are permitted to charge at SuperChargers

Permitted is a funny perspective. You should be demanding compatibility in charging infrastructure.

Incompatible infrastructure makes EVs worse than ICE vehicles. All brands of charger must charge all brands of EV, just as all brands of fuel station fuel all brands of ICE vehicle. Anything less is backward and primitive.

Europe sorted this out a long time ago. Slowly North America is getting there by standardizing on CCS with the J3400 plug.
Like as a few years ago, I just boringly add again "you need modeling" to close it.
Your argument is correct, but you're overestimating the actual price of the car by 10%+, and underestimating cost of a level 2 charger by about the same amount (or rather, a level 2 plug or adapter. Unlike DC-DC charging, the AC-DC charger is installed in the car itself: the on-wall device just handles handshake and various safety shut off mechanisms).
Some cold water on the claims here: https://open.substack.com/pub/stoneztao/p/the-new-hyped-gene...

The same article also states that AMD provided custom bug-fixes written by Principle Engineers to address bugs in a benchmark - this is software that will only become part of the public release in 2 quarters. I ask again, do you think AMD will not expedite non-public bug-fixes for hyperscalers?

> You can't train with AMD, full stop, because their software stack is so buggy.

Point 7 from the article:

>> The MI300X has a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to the H100/H200, but training performance per TCO is worse on the MI300X on public stable releases of AMD software. This changes if one uses custom development builds of AMD software.

I have an inkling that Meta does not obtain MI300 drivers from https://download.amd.com
If the display is working and the input layout isn't changing, you shouldn't accept any jumps at all. If the sync signals are coming at the same rate, the display should remain steady. (Well - as steady as you get with a CRT.) If they don't: it's broken.

For the right price, America could probably it. There are only 56,000 Greenlanders, meaning that you could give each a million dollars at $56b, only about 1% of the federal budget. Do Greenlanders feel that attached to Denmark that they would refuse a million bucks?
Rewriting history is fun and profitable for modern academics.
For my part, I’m certain your counter-argument is the more accurate take. After all, history tells us that such studies are never quietly funded by the industries most likely to profit off of positive results, without regard to human cost.
If there was a list of top 10 internet replies where the commenter got the point of the guy he was replying to basically exactly backwards, this comment would have to be in the top 5. What a spectacular failure of reading comprehension.
Heh it strikes me that while the stakes of this "relic" are kinda low, it echos the conversations about institutions like the British Museum possessing historic artefacts :) some claim there is moral argument for it keeping its artefacts, because Britain can best preserve them and protect them from damage.

Responsibility and autonomy to preserve one's own heritage (with the associated risk of failing to do so) is a longstanding ethical dilemma between cultures, and the answers aren't so clear imho! (This argument is much more compelling for museums, rather than Sony)
Consumer and small-office print is declining, so there is not enough money to be made making non-shit printers from scratch.

Making shit printers (those that are sold below cost with the profits recouped from cartridge sales and other user-hostile measures) is the only thing keeping the market afloat.

However, that segment of the market is already captured by the existing manufacturers (which have the existing patents and supply/manufacturing chain - aka economies of scale) that a newcomer would never be able to enter said market profitably.

> I've always thought drones would work well as ambush devices i.e. don't make a long flight to a target but stash within a few seconds of flight time.

My immediate thought: "So… a missile?"

But on reflection, you're probably right. Just because missiles make more sense and have a long pile of R&D behind them, doesn't mean an amateur will pick that over the simple, easy, and obvious meme.

Probably for the best. It will be a bad day when someone, or some agency, makes anti-personnel missiles that can just be left waiting in nearby trees until the target goes past. I really really hope that such things would be treated like mines in international law.
In the case of these journals, "peer" simply means "someone who shares the same agenda", and they won't care about the science or even the numerical results as long as the conclusion agrees with their ideology. The extremist envrionmentalists have been pushing their idiotic agenda for far too long, and it's good to see the sane people are now pushing back.
This is a messy legal situation…

For the most part, it looks like consumers weren't directly harmed aside from the false promises about "finding the best deal," but consumers weren't paying anything to Honey for that promise.

The harmed parties, the referring affiliates whose links were overwritten, would have to argue that Honey, as a third party, tortiously interfered with them and the merchants paying the affiliate commissions. Third-party claims are challenging, especially when the merchants seem complicit.

And works very well - it made me a nice general "draw successively accurate Fourier series approximations given this lambda for coefficients and this lambda for the constant term". PNG output, no real programming errors (I wouldn't remember if it had some stupid error, I'm a python programmer). Even TikZ in LaTeX isn't hopeless (although I did ending up reading the tikz manual)
>The US has no such cultural narrative.

The cultural narrative is actually extremely popular in a 10% subset of the population that is essentially fundamentalist christian who are terrified of the government branding them with "the mark of the beast".

The problem is that their existence actually poisons the discussion because these people are absurd loons who also blame the gays for hurricanes and think the democrats eat babies.
Shared address space. Some other process or silicon can read or write the object you just moved but doesn’t know you moved it. You need to keep the memory previously occupied by the moved object valid long enough for those references to realize you moved it to prevent corruption.

A typical case is high-performance I/O, which uses a lot of DMA. DMA is oblivious to most programming language semantics like lifetimes, ownership, etc and will happily step all over your address space if you aren’t careful.
No, it can't. Cellulose is the main type of insoluble dietary fiber, and is in leafy vegetables, beans, peas, and many other foods. It's widely accepted as being good for digestion. Too much fiber can cause constipation and gas, but most people probably don't get enough fiber, so that's rarely a problem.

Eh, what standard are we holding people to? You ever shop for a used car(maybe even some rare spec of a sports car)? When you finally found a good deal did you shout in the streets and put out an ad to make sure no one else is around to make a greater offer?
I'm curious if there's a reason why or how Tesla tend to build 10+ stations per location while EA/EVgo tend to only do 4 most of the time. I still need to wait a lot of times at EA/EVgo locations.
C++ is fun, but "Rust weirdos" are right. Don't use C++, use Rust. That's all.
Why do developers in other languages not have to deal with it?
I've rarely had to really queue.

While it might make sense to soft lock a stall for queue, that'd be pretty hard to coordinate and wouldn't work well cross manufacturer (you now either need a universal registration protocol or some sort of physical infrastructure that enforces a queue).

IMO, the better solution and the one that seems to be happening is more chargers. These charge providers have the numbers on how many people are using their stations so it's not really impossible to map out and plan out where new charging stations are needed.

During surge usage, Tesla is deploying temporary charge stations to handle the extra load [1]

Same. I wish someone made a better C++ from a blank slate. And no it's not Rust.
At various times, Hyundai offered purchasers of their e-gmp models rebates of $7.5k-10k, or 2 years of free charging at Electrify America stations, or level 2 home adapters/chargers, sometimes including some costs towards installation. With a bit of patience and haggling, you could've gotten at least two of the three, if not all.

The Kona EV, like the Niro EV and non-numeric Ioniq models, isn't based on the electric e-GMP platform, but is using the old gas vehicle platform, and incentives on those models are lower, probably because there is less need to increase sales of those.

There were lots of test equipment with variants of those, and unlike CMOS settings, they held critical calibration constants.
It works for them, that's not up for debate. That doesn't mean it works for anyone else, or even for most people (most people endure Windows either for lack of options, or for not knowing anything better). Most people also don't think about their operating systems, and just use whatever comes with the computer. It's not they don't know of better options - they actually don't care and think life is too short to bother with things we passionately debate.

> It’s about the complete and total inability of hardcore Linux desktop users to empathize with anyone who disagrees with them.

I empathize. I also disagree with their analysis. Windows is still an objectively terrible OS and people just learned to live with all its misfeatures.
