When you go to gym class, you are expected to perform without aids - you cannot ride a e-bike around the track when teacher tells you to run.

Same goes with the math/english/science class - if teacher tells you to do the homework yourself, you should do it yourself, not to ask friend/parent/ChatGPT to do it for you.

Outside of class context, people are free to do whatever - ride bikes, cars, ask ChatGPT for questions, ask your friend to write birthday cards for you, copy most of the presentation you gave at work from vendor's whitepaper, etc.. No one will complain.

The distinction seems pretty clear to me, I am not sure why people are having problems with it.
Not sure why the parent comment is being downvoted. By most sources, the States has been the exception and not the rule post-pandemic.

So, per your understanding, grid connectivity for energy production projects is a bigger issue than energy storage in their market?

Price falls below zero because there's a supply glut (and due to aggressive, excessive, or effective subsidies to accelerate our team transition to clean energy).

Is it the national or regional electricity prices that are falling below zero?

Is the price lower during certain hours of the day? If so, then energy storage could probably smooth that out.
This is exactly what I did, proactively. I figured, better I just bite the bullet on my own terms. Saved up money for a year, and made the jump.

> Who cooked them is the question? Children won't raise themselves generally.

Society. Parents, schools, whatever technology kids are exposed to (so, all of it).

We've had 4 years of literally every form of media pushing AI as the solution to all life's problems. Is it really so surprising that our youth looks to AI for the solution to their problems?

I think it's extremely optimistic to expect this can be addressed by parents alone. My parents did a great job of teaching me the dangers of alcohol, but once my friends got into it I followed suit.
Is rapid charging bad for your car? Learn about battery C-Rate [video]
If you are interested in batteries, the C-rate should interest you. I build my own electric cars, and am now condensing important theory into these 3min - 5min videos. This one is about the c-rate for batteries. Big auto and battery manufacturers like AESC, CATL, BYD and Panasonic spend a lot of time optimising their batteries, and carefully determining the so called C-Rate. In one sentence: It measures the rate at which a battery can be charged or discharged, relative to its capacity.

I make these videos so it can help someone not ruin expensive equipment (like I have done!) and still get the knowledge.

Additionally I am working on "duolingo, but for learning ev tech" and made a little hello world quiz. Answer 10 questions and then get a little breakdown where you are strong and where you are weak: https://foxev.io/academy/

Given that this is HN I expect everyone to be strongest with "Software".

I hope this helps someone, sorry about the influencer glasses, and I am aiming to make as many of these videos as possible to break down complicated and sometimes misrepresented facts as easy as I can, with exactly one concept per video :)
That's how universities lose their reputation, and that's why the programmer hiring process is so complicated.
I do the same thing. Maybe I shouldn't take the GenAI shortcuts but there's only so much I can remember. And everyone wants things done faster, all the time. So, by not using generative AI and figuring everything out for yourself because it's good for your metal exercise, is that fair to your employer who wants more, faster? And what will your output look like compared to your peers who hop straight to a chat prompt for everything?
> You win by the grade earned, however it was obtained.

That's not really true. At least in my experience.

Since I graduated nobody cared about my grades at all. On the other hand everyone cared if I can do stuff.

When I was applying for Uni my grades mattered very little and my performance on standarised and proctored tests mattered a lot.

I guess it might be different where you have grown up?
The thought experiment doesn't give a limit to the amount of intelligence the Chinese Room can display though, and if the thesis is that you just need a big enough model, then the fact that it doesn't "understand" is not an impediment. It's not a decided matter, in any case, and is still controversial among philosophers of the mind (who are less biased than AI researchers in companies that they have stock options in).
Low-recurrence and low-value sales are almost entirely about exploiting information asymmetry. Most peoples’ sales experiences are almost entirely low value. (Low here meaning the client isn’t going to do independent diligence and doesn’t have the capacity and willingness to retaliate if screwed.)
I had an interesting conversation with a friend from India. He was talking to his daughter back home in first grade. He actively encouraged her to look around in an exam, to copy off of others, to cheat in an examination. I overheard him and asked him why he wants to put so much pressure on a child. Like even if you don't care about the ethics of cheating in an exam, wouldn't it be better to have less pressure as a child and have a good childhood?

I clearly don't understand how difficult life is outside the US. Yes, it is important to know the material. However, it is also important to know your surroundings and what everyone else is doing. If you are in India and literally everyone else is cheating in exams, well you better start doing that as well just to keep up. If you are gen alpha and everyone else is using ChatGPT to polish essays, ...
Even for the parents who know it's extremely difficult to really know if you're doing the right or wrong thing. And it's constant, you have to be eternally vigilant. My son brute-forced the downtime pin on his iPhone -- it took 6 months but he did it.

Bitcoin in Bhutan: Charting Its Own Course of Economic Development
In the telecom industry/ISP infrastructure business, the very best sales people are much more like business intelligence/market research people. They know where everyone's infrastructure is in a given region, for fiber cable routes, right of way, POPs, and what carrier is riding on top of which one. Knowing who owns and operates the underlying dark fiber route, DWDM systems, regen huts and similar on a multi state region is what gives them the power to be so effective.

Being able to operate from a position of confidence and assurance on "who has what, where" is a very powerful tool. Then, when communicating with potential customers (particularly where it's one ISP entering into a relationship with another ISP), they can offer the correct product for what the customer is looking for. Or, if they can't, they can quickly say "sorry no we can't do that, we don't have any of our own stuff there, and we can't get there by an NNI".
EVERYTHING used to be so complex. Before minicomputers all control systems mostly used relays, so a complicated AV automated system would have walls of octal base relays. We just only have the pinballs and juke machines left because all this was ripped out of industrial places since the 70s and replaced with PLCs and embedded controllers. The complexity is nanoscale and software now so harder to see.
Because you can use tools on the splines. You can't do that on the GPU.
Hopefully someday LLMs will be hugely beneficial to society for their ability to identify correlations in data. And, by their very nature, they are good with language and thus helpful in programming contexts.

But LLMs have no understanding of what they write.
They do not ponder.
Are not curious; do not wonder.
Do not think or have thoughts.
Do not create or invent.
Do not have Aha! moments.

Maybe some day a machine will be capable of these things. Maybe not. But LLMs - by nature of their algorithmic design - never will.
Fantastic encapsulation and commentary on the modern web and attentionspace.

There's certainly better ways to do this, but here's one way to automate 1000 clicks from the console:

for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
document.querySelector('button.main-btn-pretty').click();
}

Automating this art piece probably also says ... something.
Why wouldn't it be? Education's job is to prepare students for life in the real world, and life in the real world is often a competition with your peers. When I was in grade school (admittedly close to 20 years ago) we had accelerated and slowed tracks for students starting in 5th grade.

I doubt that we have a huge paper notes mass being hoarded in the US, most of it should be circulating pretty constantly. I see it important for exports as the US gets to produce paper that we send over to other countries in exchange for goods. They store it and we never pay back as long as our economy, technological progress, science, higher education, cutting-edge healthcare, entertainment, army stay ahead of others then we never ever going to pay back. And Nixon shock where the US dollar stopped being pegged to gold showed that power to others since no one in the world would stop using the US dollar just because it's value now is measured how the US can dictate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixon_shock).

Most Americans shouldn't keep their money in savings and should invest into the stock market because it's a reflection of our collective economical input. And if you just keep it in Savings then it'll keep up with the interest rate which doesn't change the stored value, so what's the point? While in big indices there always going to be winners because that's just the nature of the game, so by betting on winners you are going to outrun the interest rate by capturing this additional value that is being created. And people working for these winning companies and startups are very interested in beating the interest rate, they're mostly shareholder aligned as they themselves are equity holders. If you don't have equity you're working in, it still makes sense to bet on winning companies since those people are vey much equity aligned and just want to capture the market share.

Pension funds, 401k are all tight to various investments, indices, etc. that are all reflection of the total economy. And I see it as my participation in the broader economy as I spend money that creates jobs and creates new economic exchanges further, and as a shareholder I capture that value back anyway. People should keep their spending at their social level if they want to keep the economy going smoothly.
I agree. That's what I expect.

My optimistic hope is that for the more basic skills, teachers can adjust grading so that more easily-cheated homework provides less credit, and in-person work (such as a pop quiz) is weighed more heavily. Then, you're effectively setting yourself a time bomb by using LLMs on homework to avoid learning the material.

For higher-level skills, I think using LLMs will probably just become another skillset and part of the toolbox, just like the Internet was for my generation. But I guess we'll see.

Hi, I’m Brian Cary, a software engineer with over 10 years of experience in modernizing legacy platforms, migrating applications, and building scalable solutions for both on-cloud and off-cloud environments. I recently led a large-scale migration project that improved performance and scalability by transitioning a complex enterprise system from Rails to Python and React.

I’m seeking new opportunities where I can help businesses:

• Maintain and enhance existing systems

• Migrate platforms to modern architectures

• Transition applications on-cloud or off-cloud, based on business needs

If you’re looking for a dedicated engineer who brings technical depth, leadership experience, and a focus on delivering real business value, feel free to reach out—I’d love to connect!

I'm kind of skeptical the US grid can even handle this industry growth if it becomes the only realistic place these models are ran. A lot of the infrastructure is pretty wobbly. And forget the tax benefits and cheap land from Texas, their private grid is liable to bust at any time.
Intrinsic motivation is great, it's a powerful force and can enable amazing accomplishments. But it's not something that management can necessarily rely upon. Sometimes there's shitty work that just has to get done for legal compliance or to meet customer demands or whatever, and to make that happen management needs a control system to create extrinsic motivation. In any large organization it's not possible to have everyone doing interesting, meaningful work.
I do not like how enjoyable this was.

Sometimes, sure this is the case. I know a few big time artists who have dedicated teams that are always behind the scenes. But plenty of times it's not, as Simon himself pointed out below.

My brother is an "influencer" in the legit sense that he makes all his money from having a following (mostly through brand partnerships). He only gets help for very specific tasks on a project-by-project basis and even then he doesn't do that very often. He loves working alone and the freedom that comes from that.

Show HN: Skeet – A local-friendly command-line copilot that works with any LLM
I've been using GitHub Copilot CLI, and while it's great, I found myself wanting something that could work with any LLM (including running local models through Ollama), so I built Skeet.

The key features that make it different:

- Works with any LLM provider through LiteLLM (OpenAI, Anthropic, local models, etc.)

- Automatically retries and adapts commands when they fail

- Can generate and execute Python scripts with dependencies (powered by uv) without virtual environment hassles

You can try simple tasks like:

```

skeet show me system information

skeet what is using port 8000

skeet --python "what's the current time on the ISS?"

```

Demo: https://asciinema.org/a/697092

Code: https://github.com/knowsuchagency/skeet

I built it for myself, and I've been really happy with the results. It's interesting to see how different models fare against one another with everyday tasks. If running a local model, I've had decent luck with ollama_chat/phi3:medium but I'm curious to know what others use.

Cheers!

Yes, it is happening over the course of many decades, naturally, as machines are updated/replaced as a matter of normal business.

That's a very different thing in terms of switching costs than an immediate switch that demands replacement all at one time.
The problem isn't the kids using these tools to solve problems, the real problem is the energy cost we have to provide the kind of simple answers that previous “dumb” systems could provide at lesser cost.
