I love houses like that. There are (or were, when I was in high school), quite a few like that in Logan Square and a shrinking number in Lakeview as well that I remember fondly from decades ago. There were even a few like that on an Irving near Damen that I think finally went away, sandwiched between the standard brick and limestone condos. There’s lots of houses like that all over city but those in the gentrifying neighborhoods that I spent a lot of time in stand out to me.
There's always the option of asking coworkers/friends/mentors/etc. what they found useful.
I haven't seen one either.

To be honest, I don't think anyone has any idea yet (other than crude upper bounds) because it depends a lot on things like how much demand response can help. Demand response doesn't have to mean "rolling blackouts"; it could mean "running the freezer during the day when electricity is free". Will people heat their houses in the winter with sand batteries? Will desiccant air conditioning pan out? Can nickel–iron batteries compete economically with BYD's gigafactories? What about sodium-ion? Nobody has any idea.

I was pleased to calculate recently that the EV transition, if it looks something like replacing each ICE vehicle with the BYD equivalent of a Tesla Model Y, would add several hours of distributed grid-scale storage, if car owners choose to sell it back to the grid. But that's still a far cry from what you need for a calm, cloudy week. Maybe HVDC will be the key, because it's never cloudy across all of China.

Sensible-heat seasonal thermal stores for domestic climate control (in some sense the most critical application) have been demonstrated to be economically feasible at the neighborhood scale. PCM or TCES could be an order of magnitude lower mass, but would the cost be low enough?
> A 2023 Gallup survey found that the share of Americans who said they experienced loneliness “a lot of the day yesterday” declined by roughly one-third from 2021 to 2023, even as alone time, by Atalay’s calculation, rose slightly.

This seems particularly interesting.
The Chatham House Rule is not a legal principle. If you violate it by recording a meeting in a one-party consent state, the most likely consequence is that you wouldn’t be invited back. (Someone else posited legal consequences under contract law, but I’m not a lawyer.)

And for the record, California is not the only two-party consent state. There are twelve others.
Or AI is falling into the same hype event horizon.
If I was to say, yes. This is an opinion from someone that isn't even from the US, mind you, but given what I know about the constitution I do think it was the case.

To this day, we generally don't allow people to vote in an election if they aren't a citizen yet I reckon we don't consider non-citizens lesser human beings. The idea of allowing only those with property to vote (because they have stake in the country) or to only allow men (they will be fighting the wars) are outdated, but they aren't nonsensical.
The Superior Way to Travel
Of course it does. "Left" describes more than economics. You might say, that makes left-right a bad range, and you'd be right at that point, but I think it's pretty obvious what aspects of left/rightism I meant.
California overhauled its insurance system. Then Los Angeles caught fire
I like the part where the AI couldn’t be trusted to draw a clock, so we trusted it to psychoanalyze the incorrect clock
No worries at all! :)
> Is a translation unit the same as in C, but since you're #including the file you would expect multiple compilations of a re-included C file? woudnt this bloat the resulting executable (/ bundle in case of a library)

I think the idea is that compiling a translation unit produces two outputs, the object code (as it currently does), and an intermediate representation of the exported declarations, that could be basically a generated .h file, but it would probably be more efficient to use a different format. Then dependent translation units use those declaration files.

With this, you can still compile in parallel. You are constrained by the order of dependencies, but that is already kind of the case.

One complication is that ideally, if the signature doesn't change, but the implementation does, you don't need to re-compile dependent translation units. This is trivial if your build system detects changes based on content (like, say, bazel), but if it uses timestamps (like make) then the compiler needs to ensure the timestamp isn't updated when the declarations don't change.

But this really isn't a new concept. Basically every modern compiled language works fine without needing separate header files.
I'm embarrassed I didn't mention this. Yes, collective mental effort can be orders of magnitude better than individual.
I can’t even get USPS to honor mail forwarding requests or not frequently misdeliver mail for entirely different localities to my home.
In America??? That is funny and also sad that it is funny…
I am enthusiastic about using quality call centres and I value the service. I give the respondent respect. A niece who worked in one told me some firms give staff a daily discretionary spend to make small problems go away and I believe it's worth it, and it's worth being respectful to the person trying to help you, if they have this ability then it reflects their autonomy, your value as a customer and how nice you are.

She said dealing with the live shark lost in the mail was a highspot (a lot of strange delivery issues in the modern shop from home world)
There is but it's not intuitive. Long press on a link and you can open it without it being sent away and apparently this sticks.
It's definitely a generational thing. I've been spammed so utterly often that I simply do not answer my phone for a non-contact (or the inevitable interview phone call. But less often with video calls these days). If it's important enough to contact me, it's important enough to leave a voice mail.

I don't really do these sale pitches often, but it's a similar mentality for a different reason. I simply want anything communicated in writing in case they try to say yes to put a foot in the door, but the small details say no.
> spend some time every day thinking about what you've been doing. Pull up a level and put it in perspective

That's the most useful point. Sometimes just a few why-s can give you a clearer view on your activities and a direction for your efforts.
> Not sure why you got flagged.

They replied to the one that told them their magic advice didn’t actually help them (and they still burned out) with some variety of “That had nothing to do with my advice, you just did it wrong.”

That’s… not cool.
Just like constant expressions, a function run at compile time needs to be pure, which means no globals, no system calls, no I/O, no undefined behavior. Yes, that does constrain it somewhat, but D users have found it to be immensely useful anyway.

There's really no comparison with preprocessor macros. All the preprocessor can do is trivial expressions with long values. Not even floating point.

> you add a constexpr keyword to the lang, but now we have red functions and blue functions

My proposal (and D) does not require constexpr. The same function can be used at run or compile time. There is no need for that keyword. C++ made a mistake.
The data passes through any devices in the vicinity -- but they can't read the data unless they've got the private key to that tag.
nah-- even in the supplied jpg the histogram shows they're not clipping the highlights, and if you crank down the brightness, you can see the detail.
I'm not an artist or an Adobe customer, but when I see products adding half-baked or defective features, it tarnishes their brand and would definitely make me re-consider trusting their product. Especially for professional use, and regardless of whether the rest of the product still works fine. It's a general indicator of carelessness and tolerance of quality problems.
Last year, I spent some time in Amsterdam and stayed at an Airbnb whose patio/balcony-ish extended to a canal (my host was a super awesome person, by the way). As a tourist to the new experience, it was kinda scary for me but this seems to be a normal thing for the locals.

Besides the ever-pleasing view, including the casual peeks from the window, I spent a lot of time, pretty much every day, walking on the sides of many other canals — that engineering is something to think about.

I read somewhere that it is even more beautiful and breathtaking in the outskirts and beyond the city. I need to revisit to experience those.

You seem to be lecturing the author of one of the most prominent early C compilers on how array access actually works in C.
>your access to healthcare is directly tied to your enthusiasm for the company mission

No, it's not. First, they're legally required to provide it so long as you work there, whether you're enthusiastic or not. Even if you got fired for not being enthusiastic enough, by law you can stay on the same health insurance plan for 18 months. If you still haven't found a job after 18-36 months, or just don't like the company's plan, you can get your own individual plan, or look for a plan for low-income people like medicaid.

The US healthcare system has its problems for sure, but you seem confused about what they are.
Your device is misconfigured. That's not HN's fault, what has been posted is a completely ordinary link that would function in a perfectly ordinary way if you had configured your device properly.

This wouldn't even be CLOSED WONTFIX, there is literally nothing that anyone but you could do to fix this.
How is AI hallucinating words now? I thought that would have been the easiest thing to restrict with a sufficient dictionary.

Or maybe it's an ancient dictionary. I was kind of surprised at the sizes of ]dictionaries I could find while trying to test out a personal project.
Would it be unthinkable to just NOT have bright lights pointed at the sky all night? Could they still do this project with severe restrictions on light emissions? If there’s some reason it absolutely must include hundreds of outdoor sodium vapor lights then build it somewhere else.
> When your access to healthcare is directly tied to your enthusiasm for the company mission, it seems to me that you _must_ display that enthusiasm even if it's a facade.

I get what you're implying, but I want to point out that healthcare is not "directly tied to your enthusiasm." I'm sure somebody can post their anecdote about being fired for not having enough pep in their step at work, but enthusiasm for the company mission is not a typical requirement for employment. Furthermore, despite the pervasive online meme to the contrary, the US does have a substantial social safety net — we devote more of our GDP to public social spending¹ than Canada or Australia. It's completely fair to say that the outcomes can vary, but it's not fair to say that Americans are by and large left rudderless without help from the state if they lose their job.

The rotation is being done with CSS and some custom (I assume) JS. As for why, obvious artistic choice.
I agree. The mach-e looks like a crossover suv. It does not look like a mustang. I would imagine the venn diagram of young drivers that would choose the mustang vs mach e do not intersect.

Maybe ford is targeting older people who are at the stage where they give in and get a "practical" car.
I think that’s just the visual aesthetic the author wanted to go with.

To be honest I’m a bit amazed: it manages to stay fairly readable while inducing an incredibly realistic fear of an imminent stroke.
Unfortunately, the Adobe ecosystem on a whole is like OS-level complex, and they're pretty much ignoring anything that isn't directly related to generative AI, and that stuff is only consistently good for the lowest-level use cases. Miles more useful than Comfy, etc. for most artists and designers, but not close for people that need to do more skillful work. The value of Adobe as an ecosystem was their constant upgrading and keeping up with the times, and now, if it's not some cockamamie generative AI feature, it's going nowhere. They're even worse with bug fixes than they were before.

Some people thrive on the drama they create and feed on the outrage. I try to remember that when consuming content about certain personalities. The outrage they elicit is what they love. So I try to roll my eyes and not give it to them.
Suppose you very crudely modelled the spectrum of American attitudes on this topic using some kind of bell curve. I don't think many people across the pond realise just how far apart the American and Australian bell curve means would be. These kind of "the truth is unknowable" truisms may sound wise but don't really teach us very much about reality.

On average, Australian culture views anyone, who even passively demonstrates any significant level of achievement, with a high degree of suspicion. Australians make a national sport of cutting down people who excel in any way. Sure, there are sub-cultures there which can vary considerably from this general trend, but even they feel the influence of this prevailing attitude. The end outcome is that Australians tend to go to considerable effort to hide the things that may single them out as excelling among their peers, and emphasise those things which make them similar. (A few months ago the CEO of the most powerful retail company in Australia gave an interview attempting to reduce public ire at their price gouging tactics, dressed in the uniform of a shelf stacker from their supermarket chain. I'm not saying this could not have happened in America, but there it would have probably been seen as a stunt or a statement... in Australia dressing any other way would have raised eyebrows, and in fact most people initially failed to even notice it for the PR manipulation that it was.)

Geographic proximity will always play a role in bringing cultural norms together, and while the US is a big place, the US population throughout the 20th century had incredible mobility, going where the jobs were, which helped to tighten up that bell curve.
If you're using C++ 20, you can mark functions consteval to force constant evaluation.
This is definitely the case in Seattle, where every news story about Amazon RTO seems to feature a restaurant owner or business association praising Amazon and ignoring that they’re really just stealing from the employees who lose 1-2 hours to commuting each day.
I have the same issue, but I’ve found that the trick is for me work on things I care about, even if that’s not necessarily the main goal of the organisation. Just find things that have enough overlap that nobody in leadership can say you’re not working towards useful goals.

I’m not sure how replicable it is in a different org though, and I’m not likely to leave to find out xD
What’s the argument here exactly? Wealthy people’s misfortune isn’t worthy of our attention? Should the US cease reporting on itself as it is a wealth nation and a much better state than many others?

Who is this “we”? The rest of the world? I don’t think the rest of the world is being asked by America to care. It is Americans caring about Americans or Californians caring for Californians at the very least.

At the end of the day, having your house burned to the ground, having to escape a deadly fire, have you seen everyone go a bit mad and crazy, fearing for your life? These people can be the richest people in the world, and I’d think it’s inhuman not to sympathize with them somewhat. It is a situation every person could find potentially life-destroying and traumatic.
I wouldn’t call Samsung smart tags equivalent. They’re locked to Samsung phones, require other Samsung phones (that have accepted the terms of service for broadcasting location) to be nearby, and also seem to have limitations around finding if you’re in an area with no network connectivity.

It’s got ultra wide band finding which is nice, but you really need every single android device to have a truly comparable network.
You are technically correct--the best kind of correct! However, if you step back and look at the big picture, the US's tethering of health care to employment is probably a big driver of lots of critical decisions around employment. It's definitely one of the big reasons guys like me with a family will never voluntarily quit my job and go try a startup. Or just semi-retire when I turn 55 (unless I find health care). And COBRA tends to be massively expensive, so while your health care is technically available, it's not even remotely the same as being employed.

Making SSO a premium feature isn't any different from the paid SSL of the 2000s. You'll reduce security and safety just to segment the market.

And in my experience, SSO doesn't need to be expensive. SAML and Kerberos should be expensive, sure. But OIDC with standard seevices such as Google, GitHub, Okta or Keycloak should absolutely be part of the base package.

Personally, I'll just build the open core version from source and add all the "enterprise" features like SSO, S3 and Prometheus metrics myself.
Ollama can pull directly from HF, you just provide the URL and add to the end :Q8_0 (or whatever) to specify your desired quant. Bonus: use the short form url of `hf` instead of `huggingface` to shorten the model name a little in the ollama list table.

Edit: so for example of you want the unsloth "debugged" version of Phi4, you would run:

`$ollama pull hf.co/unsloth/phi-4-GGUF:Q8_0`

(check on the right side of the hf.co/unsloth/phi-4-GGUF page for the available quants)
Thing is, I'm planning on just storing the infohash itself, as a reference (for a knowledge database essentially), not the torrent file, so wanted to use just one of them, and skip the other.

So if I do v1, why do v2? If I do v2, I'd like to skip v1. Ideally I'd do v2 (only) as it seems a heck more future-safe with sha256.

Edit: Actually, I think I see what you're saying. Create hybrid torrent that works with both, share the v1 infohash of that one, v2 clients will automatically take advantage of v2 from that if supported, sounds right?
I guess it's a matter of informing the public that homomorphic encryption means no information is visible to Apple, so Apple never receives any information about your pictures at all.

I guess you could make the argument "well what if one day they stop using homomorphic encryption", but that argument doesn't make much sense since 1) why would they and 2) you could already ask the same question today "what if they just started sending info anyway"

> Since its inauguration in 1999, Paranal Observatory, built and operated by the European Southern Observatory (ESO), has led to significant astronomy breakthroughs, such as the first image of an exoplanet and confirming the accelerated expansion of the Universe. The Nobel Prize in Physics in 2020 was awarded for research on the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way, in which Paranal telescopes were instrumental. The observatory is a key asset for astronomers worldwide, including those in Chile, which has seen its astronomical community grow substantially in the last decades. Additionally, the nearby Cerro Armazones hosts the construction of ESO’s Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), the world’s biggest telescope of its kind — a revolutionary facility that will dramatically change what we know about our Universe.

Ah bummer. Is this a GGUF file-format issue or mostly "just" a code-doesn't-exist issue?

> Also I'm unsure yet if llama.cpp as of 11th Jan 2025 supports Llama Vision (or maybe it's new?)

Ah, I totally forgot Ollama did that on their own and didn't merge upstream.

I'm using Ollama because was so easy to get running on my main Windows rig so I can take advantage of my GPU there, I still do a bit of gaming, while all the stuff which uses Ollama for inference I run on my server.

Anyway thanks for the response.
> I don't think this would be possible in any other environment.

A few years ago, I worked in a small group (6 devs) for a retail business. We had all sorts of different third-party integrations - from payment processors to coupon management and Google Vision (so people wouldn't upload child porn or some other shit through our web and mobile apps). The requirements would constantly change - our management would be like: "Hey guys, we want this new program to launch, can we do it next week?", then a day later: "Turns out we can't do it in the state of Tennessee, let's add some exceptions, okay?", then some time later: "Folks, we really want to A/B test this but only for a specific class of customers..." Jesus, and it wasn't just an "occasional state of affairs" every once in a while; it was a constant, everyday, business-as-usual flow. We had to quickly adapt, and we had to deploy continuously. We had several services, multiple apps - internal, public, web and mobile, tons of unit and E2E tests, one legacy service in Ruby, we had Terraform, containers, API Gate, load balancers, etc.

I can't speak for myself, but a couple of my peers were super knowledgeable. They used all sorts of tools and languages before. I remember my team-lead showing me some Idris features (tbh, I don't even remember anymore exactly what) and asking my opinion if we should find a way to implement something like that, and I couldn't hide my confusion as I didn't know nothing about Idris.

Numerous times, we had discussions on improving our practices, minimizing tech debt, etc. And I remember distinctly - many times we have speculated how things would've turned out if we used some other stack, something that's not Clojure. We would explore various scenarios, we even had some prototypes build in Golang, Swift and Kotlin. And every single time, we found compelling and practical reasons for why Clojure indeed was the right choice for the job.

Sure, if we had a larger team, maybe we could've done it using a different stack. But it was a startup, and we had just the six of us.
