FYI, I have come across OVH, which is something I want to avoid. Why? Among other things, I find the UI of the console terrible. It really is bad; Hetzner on the other-hand is incredible. But they have no US-based dedicated boxes.

The engine still kicks on once in a while. Notably now in winter, it kicks on if I have multiple seat heaters and the steering wheel heater on. But my use case also has two days where it's over the battery range so I know it'll kick on.

You can manually control it if you want and I do it once in a while when I need more acceleration since max power is delivered with both drivetrains.

Three men occupy table without eating at busy food court

A video taken by a Singaporean Stomper shows three men playing games on their mobile phones while seated at a dining table in a crowded food court. The group did not have any food or drinks on the table, and despite the lunch crowd, they did not give up their seats to those waiting for a table. The incident occurred at the newly-opened Sinfoodie food court at Tai Seng Street, which is known to be very busy during lunch.

You have to hand it to the bitcoiners - it really is some scam. It started out at <$0.01/BTC, and just keeps growing. 16 years later, it's at >$100,000.00/BTC and showing no sign of slowing down. How they manage to trick more and more people over time like this is something else - now even the US president is falling for it. It's like some kind of stupidity virus sweeping the earth.

Not sure exactly what you mean. As in, hybrids don’t have a CVT transmission, one with belts and the thing that changes diameter to achieve variability. Haven’t had one, but heard only bad things about those.

But yes, in that the power transmission is variable (e-CVT, right?), and that sounds a bit weird. You’ve spent so much time hearing how the engine gets louder with acceleration that it feels weird when the engine behaves slightly differently.

But again, that doesn’t bother me enough to buy a less reliable system.
I own a Prius and live in Vermont. It does just fine with snow and ice. As others have pointed out, proper snow tires make a huge difference, way more than any car tech. I also think the newer models have AWD as an option.

To defrost, you can just turn the car on, switch out of EV mode, and turn on the defroster. It works like every other car.

The rear window visibility is not the best. I do agree there.
Well, not new. But hypocritical, definitely.
It’s not really that broad. It amounts to medical professionals (doctors, nurses, etc.), insurers, and any systems they use to store or process data. If the medical professional or insurer is not using the app, and the app has not signed a BAA with them, then it’s not covered under HIPAA.

no, like I said I already know that .well-known/atproto-did returns the DID value, but there doesn't seem to be any documentation for where the inquirer will next expect to fetch the actual DID document to complete the circular verification.
To expand on this, in case there are folks unfamiliar with Ayn Rands works. The consistent structure of her philosophy depends on

1. Metaphysics: Reality exists independently of consciousness ("A is A"), and humans can perceive it directly

2. Epistemology: Reason and logic are the only valid means of understanding reality

3. Ethics: Rational self-interest is the highest moral good

4. Politics: Individual rights (especially property rights) are absolute and capitalism is the only moral system

You can derive some of these from the others. Because reality is objective and we can know it through reason, we should always act only based on reason instead of emotion. Obviously our own happiness and self interest are proper moral aims. Doing that requires individual rights and capitalism.

This is internally consistent. The best part is that the book is fiction and no one comes out and says this in so many words. You need to “work it out” on the basis of the good guys believing this and the bad guys being collectivists. You feel smart when you work it out and you’re also more likely to accept it, because it wasn’t thrust on you. Of course the book throws subtlety to the wind around the end with a 100 page monologue.

As for the assumptions the philosophy rests on:

- Cognitive biases exist. Different people will perceive the same situation differently because of these biases. But objectivists will claim they don’t have any biases. I know at least two who told me they’re completely unbiased. (In fairness both have grown up since they told me this).

- Individual self interest will often conflicts with the interests of others. Game theory shows us that two prisoners pursuing “rational self interest” will lead to a worse collective outcome.

- Markets will often fail, spectacularly. And also, the right intervention can prevent them from failing. There are economics papers that discuss these failures, although in fairness many were published after Rand wrote her books.

Not every case of reflux is caused by the same things. Some people's esophageal sphincter (such as mine does) just... decides to let go at random times. For me, that I can tell, the frequency of that happening isn't really affected +/- by the PH of my stomach acid, but the PH sure has an effect on the consequences.

FWIW they have adopted carplay. I have a 2019 prius prime, which was I think the last year before they swapped over. My neighbor has a 2024 model, and it has resolved my two main complaints about my car, in that it has carplay and they have three seats in the back now instead of two.

I think TikTok is a negative influence on society, but not for any reasons that have to do with China really. I'd be much happier if the gov took strict actions on social media generally.

It doesn't really make much "sense," of course. I'm just day dreaming. I find the USA gov and the Chinese gov to both be pretty evil. The other social media gets to stay, though, because they are all in the USA.

Obviously banning TikTok or other social media gets into free speech violation territory. But if I could just wave my magic wand and make things that I think are bad go away, I'd ban the whole lot
Can confirm, I have a 2017 Prius Prime, I keep it set to prefer all-EV driving, but I just got in and turned on the defroster to melt some frost off the windshield, it switches on the ICE engine. My only complaint is that it is not terribly smart about turning it back off during the same session of driving, if I turn off the defrost. I think in theory the heat pump would be able to provide the heat to do the job, but it'd use the charge in the traction battery up quickly...
I wouldn't be so harsh - you cold have a 4o style LLM turn vague user queries into precise constraints for an o1 style AI - this is how a lot of stable diffusion image generators work already.

> this example which is a mix of barely legible hand written cursive and easy to read typed form.

> In fact it seems to mix up some portions of the latter half of the typed text with the written text in the portion of it's "transcription" about "reduced and indigent circumstances".

What typed form? What typed text? That image is a single handwritten page, and the writing is quite clean, not "barely legible".† The file related to John Hopper appears to be 59 pages, and some of them are typed, but they're all separate images.

Are you trying to process all 59 pages at once? Why?

I should note that transcription is an excellent use of an LLM in the sense of a language model, as opposed to an "LLM" in the sense of several different pieces of software hooked together in cryptic ways. It would be a lot more useful, for this task, to have direct access to the language model backing 4o than to have access to a chatbot prompt that intermediates between you and the model.

† My biggest problems in reading the page: Cursive n and u are often identical glyphs (both written и), leading me to read "Ind." as "Jud."; and I had trouble with the "roster" at the bottom of the page. What felt weirdest about that was that the crossbar of the "t" is positioned well above the top of the stem, but that can't actually be what tripped me up, because on further review it's a common feature of the author's handwriting that I didn't even notice until I got to the very end of the letter. It's even true in the earlier instance of "Roster" higher up on the page. So my best guess is that the "os" doesn't look right to me.

I misread 1758 as 1958, too, but hopefully (a) that kind of thing wears off as you get used to reading documents about the Revolutionary War; and (b) it's a red flag when someone who died in 1838 was born in 1958 according to a letter written in 1935.
Show HN: Billion Cell Spreadsheets with Incremental Computation
I figured this might be interesting for some here. This is a demo we built to showcase computation with Feldera (SQL compiled to Rust circuits that evaluate input incrementally): https://github.com/feldera/feldera

The gist of it is that if you update a cell, we incrementally update the spreadsheet which means we will only emit a minimal amount of changes for the cells affected by your update. The nice thing about it is that this is something that Feldera does automatically (and it would do that for any SQL that you end up writing, so it doesn't have to be a spreadsheet, but a spreadsheet is a nice example that everyone understands and knows about).

There is a more detailed explanation in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROa4duVqoOs if you're interested what's going on under the hood -- or if you prefer reading about it we have an article series that goes over all the parts of the demo

Great point! I hope all those Americans who can't afford basic necessities in this so-called 'developed country' can take solace in the existence of Chinese censorship. Now they can even take solace in the expansion of American censorship!

In the end, what was the real revolutionary propaganda that the American establishment is afraid of? True cost of living statistics.
Because that’s all you know! You are so myopically focused on every shitty thing that the US has ever done that you’ll believe anything that disparages the US, even when it comes from a foreign power trying to undermine you. For instance:

What kind of explanations are you looking for? Your idea is that there should be some sort of common explanations of why.

I guess because these are theories and best guess based on the evidence. There are many unknowns but that doesn't mean we should disregard what we know.
Exactly. The DIDs are held by Bluesky's directory, and they point to your latest signing key, which is also most often held by Bluesky. DID:Web is a one-time authentication process where Bluesky's directory checks to see if you have a DNS txt record and from then on you are known by your domain name and no longer have access to the bsky.app subdomain name that you initially start with.

You can't see most of this information in the Bluesky app, so I find it helpful to use this other program to look up my information: https://pdsls.dev/at/did:plc:i3gjwozl32eq3j3ejyw44hh4

There is an implicit algorithm, and I'm so happy about this question. The inability to reason about likely performance of one's code is, to me, one of the things that bothers me most about Answer Set Programming, the programming paradigm that's probably the most like Finite-Choice Logic Programming.

The Dusa implementation has a couple of ways to reason at a high level about the performance of programs. The academic paper that febin linked to elsethread spends a fair amount of time talking about this, and if you really want to dig in, I recommend searching the paper for the phrases "deduce, then choose" and "cost semantics".

There's work to do in helping non-academics who just want to use Dusa reason about program performance, so I appreciate your comment as encouragement to prioritize that work when I have the chance.
> Taxes have existed for maybe 10,000 years. An armed man demanding half your stuff or they kill your family is a tax too. Same for a mature lion that eats what another animal killed. I would argue taxes are an inherent result of power imbalances among humans. Differences give rise to power differentials, which give rise to security concessions, which consolidate into kingdoms and nations

Tax fits the model pretty well. Defending against bandits who steal everything and move on is expensive, so kings that claim much smaller portions of wealth and scare off bandits tend to lead to better nations. (Then you've got modern democracies, that typically tax much more, but in a way which is actually compatible with higher growth because the money tends to be spent back into the sluggish parts of the economy rather than spent on zero sum competition with neighbouring kings/lords over territorial tax bases and precious import collection)

There may be a problem with the educational system not serving highly gifted students, but that's way further down the list than kids who graduate without basic reading and math skills.
