My German EV was introduced a decade ago, and it’s still great!

I think a better comparison is to the Italians.

Stellantis bought up a bunch of iconic brands when they got Chrysler and then integrated a bunch of new technology from Fiat. Since then, they’ve focused on creature comforts and margin expansion, but neglected everything else.

They recently realized their sales projections are headed for a cliff and unceremoniously fired their CEO.

I would imagine that the stage lightning microcontroller is running a variant of ESP8266 or something similar where the "antenna" are actually thick traces on a circuit board (https://www.electronicwings.com/storage/PlatformSection/Topi...). This is obviously good enough for regular WiFi, but I would imagine this would complicate an attempt for wired WiFi tenfold.
No one is claiming that any agent is or should be considered infallible, but for every other form of technology humans create - including software - there is a minimal standard of predictability and efficiency that is considered acceptable for that software to be useful.

For some reason, LLMs are the exception. It doesn't matter how much they hallucinate, confabulate, what have you, someone will always, almost reflexively, dismiss any criticism as irrelevant because "humans do the same thing." Even though human beings who hallucinate as often as LLMs do would be committed to asylums.

In general terms, the more mission critical a technology is, the more reliable it needs to be. Given that we appear to intend to integrate LLMs into every aspect of human society as aggressively as possible, I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect it to be more reliable than a sociopathic dementia patient with Munchausen's syndrome.

But that's just me. I don't look forward to the future when my prescriptions are written by software agents that tend to make up illnesses and symptoms and filled out by software agents that cant' do basic math, and it's all considered ok because the premise that humans would always be as bad or worse and shouldn't be trusted with even basic autonomy has become so normalized we just accept the abuse of the unstable technologies rolled out to deprecate us from society as inevitable. Apparently that just makes me a Luddite. IDK.
I mean, the point of contract negotiation is to use your being hot shit to bond the other party when you're not.

If you're never in demand, you never have the leverage to negotiate; if you're always in demand, what you have in your contract probably doesn't matter, because everyone will be falling over themselves to keep you happy.

> Discussion in HN of the article debunked here:

The US has 3 different branches. The president is the head of one of the branches called the executive branch, which is the branch that enforces the law. Every president, at least in modern times, selectively chooses when they enforce laws and how severely they enforce the law. The DOJ, department of justice, is part of the executive branch and is involved with such matters.

The selective enforcement of laws is a hot button issue and both sides accuse the other of doing it. (Both sides do it all the time).

As far as I know, every country has similar issues. I constantly see articles where people are allegedly being prosecuted because they are on the opposite side of the government leadership while also seeing articles claiming they let their own side off.

> Firefox was never the "mainstream" choice.

This may be more regional-based and profession-based though. Around 2010 when Chrome was entering the market Firefox had around 30% global market share. In Slovakia where I'm from Firefox was "mainstream enough" that we had it pre-installed on high school and library computers and were taught to use it instead of IE as early as 2005..., But also in lots of enterprise-style managed companies (including basically all government offices, banks, ...) you couldn't use anything other than IE as late as 2016 cause there was no way they were gonna allow you to change your homepage from the company intranet home, so there were also lots of people who were using Firefox at home but also using IE at work because they had no other choice...
> quantity of energy […] is […] on the same scale as a nuclear weapon

> albeit delivered more slowly.

> those kinds of forces.

Tornados are very powerful, but if you deliver the same amount of energy over a longer time frame, the forces go down accordingly.

On the other hand, tornados do damage on a relatively smaller path. That may mean they’re as destructive as a nuclear bomb, but within a much smaller affected area.

Still looks bad, but at least it's readable :P
Synthetic chemistry has overall been a disaster for humanity, particularly since chemists employed the hacker ethos of "move fast and break things". Except in this case the things they broke were other people's bodies and the environment.

Tragic to see the crazed promethean spirit possessing scientists to push forward without a single inkling of the negative consequences. Perhaps Icarus' fate is our inescapable destiny.

While I understand the utility of separating contexts and making “distractions” from the current context harder to access. Doesn’t better integration into your system window management kinda defeat this separation again? Is there a significant difference in having a porn tab open or a porn windows open?

It’s great if this separation works for you and your current setup, but what does prevent future you from building muscle memory to quickly switch back to porn when you want to procrastinate your taxes?
While I agree with both you and the article I also think it'll depend on more than just the volume of your data. We have quite a lot of documents that we classify. It's around 10-100k a month, some rather large others simple invoices. We used to have a couple of AI specialists who handled the classification with local NLP models, but when they left we had to find alternatives. For us this was the AI services in the cloud we use and the result has been a document warehouse which is both easier for the business to manage and a "pipeline" which is much cheaper than having those AI specialists on the payroll.

I imagine this wouldn't be the case if we were to do more classification projects, but we aren't. We did try to find replacements first, but it was impossible for us to attract any talent, which isn't too much of a surprise considering it's mainly maintenance. Using external consultants for that maintenance proved to be almost more expensive than having two full time employees.
All this concern about PFAs is reminding me of artificial blood made with perfluorinated chemicals. It would have utterly enormous quantities of the chemicals, circulating as a microemulsion throughout the body.

I'm kinda OK with them just dominating hybrids; especially plugins.

I own a 2024 Prius Prime (PHEV) and the setup works great. No range anxiety, no special charging infra (I just plug in on a normal 120v overnight). I got the car in Feb 24 and maybe pumped gas a total of 8 times? If I didn't make two longer trips, it would have been 6.

But also, the power output is pretty great and an upgrade over the hybrid only model.

It feels like the sweet spot for most Americans and doesn't require any real lifestyle change.

Big shame is that dealers aren't necessarily charging them on the lot. So if you test drive one, you might only feel the hybrid and not the EV mode.

This is very curious to me as someone who has used Debian based distros almost exclusively for essentially 20+ years (earlier on was mostly Ubuntu, now just vanilla Debian ever since the whole Snap situation) on all of my servers, VMs, containers, and various desktops. To my memory I’ve never had to fix a system due to a broken apt install, certainly not enough times to be so frustrated as to move to another distribution. On top of that, nowadays I have things configured so a new BTRFS snapshot is created on any apt install/upgrade commands so I can just rollback to the previous snapshot if I did run into any issues, which I haven’t ever needed to do. Though that seems to solve the same issue that rolling back in nix does?

I absolutely believe you’ve had this problem, but I’m struggling to understand the issue you’re describing. How exactly is an apt install breaking your whole system? I don’t even really understand how an apt install could break an entire system rather than just failing to install the package. Did you mean to say dist-upgrade or something? Are you using Debian or a downstream distribution? If Debian, are you running Sid or is this happening on unstable/stable? I’m just really curious about this situation.
> It’s also strange that you put such a negative sentiment on interconnected documents. Do you not realize how important these connections were for you to be able to reach the point you are at now? How else would you have found the things that are useful to you? By watching ads?

Oh wild, had never seen them before.
After getting sick of maintaining the JavaScript in iWeb myself after Apple deprecated it, I ended up migrating my personal blog from iWeb to Hugo almost a decade ago. And when getting my Hugo template set up, I considered RSS a 'nice to have but not need to have' thing during the process.

After the migration was complete without an RSS feed, I received dozens of emails within the same week from people I never knew read my blog specifically requesting an RSS feed on the new site. So I added it.

That quickly reminded me about how important and common RSS is, and I'll continue ensuring that RSS feeds exist on any blog I create as a result.
Fuel is burned to head sodium, if you are getting too much heat for your taste you can burn less fuel. It is kinda the goal of the exercise.

But in any case, I believe that the more you heat sodium, the more light it emits, probably there is a practical limit on an incoming heat power after which the thing will go boom, but before that it will follow some roughly linear law: the more heat energy in, the more light comes out. Though I'm not a physicist, so I make be wrong, even if I do not see how I can be wrong.

He's saying that ABC7 made up the number. They could have backed off on that since he wrote the article, and you wouldn't know it. News organizations edit their stories in real time now, and then people point at them and say "See! This story published that day doesn't back up what you're saying!" Besides, can't one person start a ton of separate fires? I think one person with a car could burn down a hundred houses in a day, or more.

I don't know the solution to the memory hole problem. The Internet Archive helps but they probably can't scrape news stories on an hourly basis or whatever, and many things like videos can't be scraped. Screenshots are better than nothing but not good enough.

Thank you for at least considering the idea seriously. I think the flaw with your argument is the assumption that price-sensitive consumers are paying directly for these services. Advertisers pay google, not people who use Gmail. In many cases, there's no way for a competitor to compete on price offering a cheaper service - because it's already "free" in the mind of consumers.

Also, please note: scheduled downtime is not the same thing as "less-reliable". A service that is always available when it promises to be might be said to be more reliable than a service that offered more availability but failed unpredictably at random.
First time learning about this ruling, which seems insane to me. I need to read more about it.

If I had to guess you’ve never hosted non-static websites so you can’t imagine what’s a compute heavy endpoint.

Yes, ban users signing up with Gmail then.

And this is not an isolated case, discussions on DDoS, CAPTCHAs, etc. here always have these out of touch people coming out of the woodwork. Baffling.

completely unhinged take. Everyone I know under 25, as someone under 25, uses Google search at least an order of magnitude more than they use AI querying.

You can add friction when switching contexts using the desktop environment. This is largely impossible with browsers since they largely aren't meaningfully customizable. Opening a tab and navigating to a website is generally speaking something like 4-6 keypresses. On a desktop you can for example add more clicks by put all your launchers in a folder structure grouped by task.

Though I actually set up different user accounts for different tasks, then only add shortcuts for the tools that are in any way relevant for the given context. This creates deliberate friction when context switching, and requires upfront intent when selecting what I do. It's not that anything is off limits per se, but all undesirable state changes are made awkward. I simply can't check my email from my programming account, or check the build status on my social media account.

If I want to go from monitoring a build on CI to e.g. paying the bills, I'd have to log out from the work account and shut everything down, then log into the business account, and open the bank SSB. This makes doing these particular tasks as easy as ever, but directionless task switching a serious pain in the ass.
