And now, 15 years later, "site:ycombinator.com" is what I appended when I wanted to search for advice on what to keep in mind while selling my company.

There is a ton of great advice and information in the HN archives, so much so that it could be a startup idea itself.
> When you are close to a low frequency radio station anything is possible I guess. I used to live less than one mile away from an AM radio station antenna. That doesn't mix up well if you want to become an electronic engineer or compose your own electronic music. ;-)

My college has an FM radio station, and the broadcast antenna is (or was) on the roof of one of the dorms. Any sort of speaker would play the station faintly. A block away, in the engineering classrooms, we could easily see the station's waveform on our oscilliscopes probing wall power, just superimposed on the 60 Hz sine wave.
hm, wouldn't you almost by definition think you were doing a good job of flagging them at any level of actual effectiveness?
IANAEE but is the frame itself enough to dissipate heat of the internals while being sealed shut like this?

love the concept and would like them to succeed. just feels like that the relative ease of installation also means it might be easier to steal, especially with the battery integrated inside the kit.
Great AI comment, you can be replaced!
Tumbleweed is really close to upstream and doesn't need extra repos to stay on the latest versions. They do ship their own theme, but vanilla breeze is only a few clicks away. Tumbleweed is mostly tied with Arch in my book for favorite distro. They both have papercuts and things that work better than the other in different areas, but on the whole are very close.

Previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42665222
I think the idea is that these low ‘trigger levels’ on these new and mandatory devices will erroneously trip on a semi-regular basis, because EVs are often charged in adverse conditions. The erroneous trips will then be inconvenient enough so as to dissuade people from buying EVs.
I call that trickle-down ergonomics.
MilkDrop 3 latest release was in 2023!

Thank you, that's exactly what I'm looking for.
For events that have happened, absolutely. Events in the future are often slightly more ambiguous though!

I do agree that "with attached Timezone" or "as UTC" are absolutely the sensible defaults, I'm just suggesting that sometimes "plain" datetimes are semantically the correct choice.
but surely the millions of people that already own an EV will demand a solution?
> Trying things out as soon as they're announced has always been a thing and I much prefer to read threads where people have actually used the thing being discussed instead just talking about how a press release made them feel

You can have a preference for comments about use of the product that is the subject of a story without having a preference for comments written by the product that is the subject of a story.
They don't want you to use the full Ubuntu package repos nor any PPAs, though. They expect you to be content with just KDE apps and Flatpak. Flatpak in no way covers my needs on its own, and I got tired of fighting with 3rd-party repos on it. If I have to run Ubuntu and want up-to-date KDE, I run Tuxedo OS. That's what my work laptop is on, and has been pretty great overall. The rest of my machines are on one rolling release or another (Debian Testing, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, or Arch).
at $20mil profit, that's a 40% margin, which is quite high, even for a tech company (tho for a startup, which can be nimble and agile, it's not impossible).
The point is to not write bugs in the first place. At the point you’ve noticed a bug and measured it in your bug tracker you’ve missed your goal. You did not write “without bugs.”

This quote from the article annoys me…

> … it proposes to require the same exact ground-fault circuit-interrupter protection that makes you push that little button on your bathroom outlet every time the curling iron won’t heat up.

Specifically if your GFCI in the bathroom (or anywhere) keeps tripping it’s because something is wrong with your wiring or something plugged into the outlet.

It took some restraint to not use all caps in part of that sentence.

I have been convinced for years that the National Electrical Code is written first and foremost to serve the interests of electrical wiring device manufacturers, and not the needs of end users, or even the safety of end users.

The way the AFCI mess played out lost them so much credibility that it is hard to take this seriously as being about "safety" any more.

To elaborate a bit more, it sounds like the new rule would require the GFCI breaker (which requires a manual reset) to be more sensitive than the required protection already built into the EV charger (which auto-resets). So at any hint of a potential problem, the GFCI would trip first, before the EV charger could respond, forcing a manual reset.
And that GFCI might be the only thing keeping you from being electrocuted every time the curling iron won't heat up. Standing in a puddle touching a metal pipe casually confused by why it sometimes tingles.
A friend of mine has an e-bike with regenerative braking using a rear hub motor.

It seems to have a recovery efficiency of about one third.

We once went up about 1200m in altitude difference, where it was completely empty. After having gone down again, it had recharged enough to work normally for the remaining 20km of our trip, driving in flat terrain.
As an electrical eningeer I can't help but thinking: Yeah then don't run equipment/infastructure that is so badly designed and/or in such bad shape that it produces 5mA of fault current at startup. It isn't as if it is unknown how to test and prevent such things.

If your device is constantly tripping your GFCI, that was a decision some bean counter (or totally clueless contractor) was willing to make, not a god given inherent fact of the universe. All that you know is that the think could be saving your life as the fault current has to go somewhere that isn't back into the system. But of course now the US has an unelected car manufacturer in government, so it is important to let them reduce the quality of things so they can make more money. The actual solution is to test products before they hit the market and test/overhaul dangerously wrong wiring in houses.

If your gas safety valve keeps shutting down the gas because your gas bottle is heating up next to the flame, vuess what: the solution isn't to remove the safety valve.
I misread this as "conception". After reading the bill, both seem equally crazy. I wonder if this is meant as some kind of protest statement?
I can totally see two parts of the OS both using their own QR parsing code - SmartText using one, and the imaging system another. Apparently each one has their own slightly different error correction implementation.

I bet it'd be possible to create a standard QR Code with a deliberate error that does the same thing. You'd just have to figure out how they're correcting the error differently.

Seems like you discovered a bug-bounty bug just waiting for someone to claim.
User uses experimental fs. It breaks.

Surprised Pikachu face
The solution is easy: rip the GFCI/AFCI breaker out and put a normal one in. Keep the code-compliant one in a plastic sack and reinstall it before you sell or get inspected for another reason.

Used to be the advice was to put in a hardwired charger and bypass this entirely, but now they’re ruining that. This is one of those cases where having a screwdriver and a phone with YouTube is a huge advantage.
Ostensibly their solution already exists as anything they are currently using to charge their vehicle will be grandfathered in.
there is a whole book “counterexamples in analysis”, basically for each theorem they find why every condition is required. these functions and ideas based on them are indispensable.

this weierstrass function is definitely a mind bender I remember from high school.
> Specifically if your GFCI in the bathroom (or anywhere) keeps tripping it’s because something is wrong with your wiring or something plugged into the outlet.

Unfortunately this is not quite true. For two-prong plugs, yes, it is 100% accurate. However larger devices with grounded plugs, especially heavier machinery, will typically contain a line filter with Y capacitors running line to ground. This shows up as a tiny leakage current, which some GFCIs will detect (because it really is leaking) even though this is a nuisance trip (because it is completely safe and normal operation). That's part of where the 30mA trip specification for certain types of non-normal-residential-circuit comes from.

Just ran into this one recently trying to replace Docker w/ Podman for a CICD runner. Before anyone protests we have very strong, abnormal requirements on my project preventing most saner architectures. It wasn’t the root cause but the failure behavior was weird due to the behavior you just described.
> the EV charger which auto-resets

I wonder if there is any telemetry that gives statistics on how often the EV chargers already trip?
I guess the solution is that only specific existing American EV makers will be exempt.
> remote work gets pulled because old dudes in power say so. The four day work week gets laughed at because of America’s unhealthy focus on work ethic and worship

I think these two are very similar.

Although yes, many people are hours and worry that salaries won't adjust for 32 hours. Which would ruin the point of a 4 day workweek without adjusting compensaation to be the same as 40 hours. that's there the dudes in power also say so.

My grandma, born in the 30's, isn't any good at computers or technology in general, and has trouble operating even the simplest TV remotes and cordless phones.

One thing she can operate is her HP-12C calculator. At the time of it's initial release, someone taught her how to use it, knowing that the RPN interface would be much easier to teach her than infix notation that was equally popular at the time. She never figured out infix notation, at least for more than single operations.

Pretty much everything uses infix notation now a days, so that's what everyone learns first, making RPN an additional skill that usually gets passed by.

It's interesting to learn that there was a time when a calculators interface was a toss-up, and some people learned RPN because it was the easiest to learn, as opposed to it now being an additional skill that would conflict with earlier experience.
Easy except you should make sure you understand the implications for your insurance and liability (not so easy to judge that risk).
It won't affect them, assuming that they already have an EV charger - this would apply to new installations.
Why did you choose GPT4o-Mini? Why not any other model?
There isn't any real strategic value for either to have an exclusive relationship.

It's obviously exactly that. Of course, it's not well thought out, its 100% legal from the language in the bill to jerk off with a condom, or pull out. Wouldn't want to tempt your opponents to actually make it the law to empregnate your wife every time you have sex. Also, it makes periods illegal.
The TLDR is EV chargers want an exemption from ground fault protection because they have ground fault protection built in. Lots of devices have built in protections for various electrical faults, but we still put them upstream because one of the things we are protecting against is the device itself faulting.

It is like the people holding this view don't understand that Wish.com and Aliexpress exist.
> Carroll remembers a sale from 2022 as one of his favorites. The Arizona car company Local Motors had shut down and was trying to offload one of the world’s largest 3D printers, big enough to print a car.

Take a look at Nim, it solves those problems and integrates well with existing Python code.
> For me, a person who dramatically prefers democracy to totalitarianism, Socrates' critiques of democracy hold up quite well in our present context.

Which critiques specifically?

Most of the critiques he made I'm aware of are not fundamental problems with democracy, but rather problems for which we have solutions in 2025--in cases where these problems are not solved it is because of concerted efforts by totalitarians to undermine democracy that these problems are not solved. As it turns out, a lot of work has been put into addressing the problems Socrates mentioned. In fact, it's arguable that some of the solutions were known at the time of Socrates, and Plato did not feel motivated to share facts which disagreed with his teacher, because, you know, sophistry.

And, ultimately, Socrates presented all these ideas with the rather self-serving conclusion that philosophers should be kings--so as someone who "dramatically prefers democracy to totalitarianism", I'm sure you found some point along the way where he got it wrong.

> Why limit this criticism to philosophers? Should we drop Einstein from the theory of relativity (especially given how wrong he was about aspects of quantum mechanics)? Or Newton from mechanics and so on.

Uh, yes, obviously, which is why this has already happened, because physics is a field which is concerned with whether what they're teaching is true or not.

Ask a physics major: did they read anything actually by Einstein? Did they read anything actually by Newton? The answer will invariably be "no", because they learned from modern textbooks which at least make an effort to communicate what we know to be true about physics. And sure, those textbooks might mention that an idea was discovered by Einstein or Newton, because they did get a lot of things right. But they aren't just having you read Einstein or Newton in physics classes, because Einstein and Newton got enough wrong that presenting their ideas unfiltered and uncorrected to students would be counterproductive. This is exactly what philosophy should be doing, and it's exactly what I'm saying philosophy is failing to do.

The argument you're making is founded upon facts you only know because physics did a better job than philosophy did. The only reason you know Einstein or Newton got things wrong is because physics actually finds the mistakes of its heroes and corrects them, instead of passing them on like a genetic disease to future generations.
I never interpreted it as such. Simply that cultural and biological factors will affect the sexes differently. This impacts men more because they simply don't tend to have as many deep friendships, nor do they talk as frequently.

yup, that's a standard example / counterexample. Called the discrete metric. If you are trying to prove something about metric spaces, you should try your statement on that metric. A lot of things that seem true because they intuitively sound right with Euclidean distance break with the discrete metric.
My point is that if not for extra-competitive market, there would be no companies for you to be employed at, because they would fail international competition. California especially hates any non-compete clauses, which is bad for a particular company, but good for the whole market.

I used to live in a country with high tariffs on imports and bad immigration policies. While sounding good as you describe on paper, the quality keeps dropping, productivity stagnates, and in pretty much every area anything imported means "better". So no one wants to buy local anymore. And it doesn't make sense to export anymore, as outsiders don't have tariffs.

There would be no java shops to walk into. Why create them in low-performance high-wages country if there is now a good amount of highly-educated Java professionals in, say, Lagos, Nigeria?

Really I found Patton Oswald post to be so vile it tainted all the other posts. Don't ever listen to people outside of your identity group even when they are right and they are helpful, save your kids from drowning because you may form a bond and then one day you realize you are close to someone outside of your identity group. Of course his story had strawman of a Nazi in some impossible scenario.

How truly awful to break out of fake identities and connect to a real person on a human level. On the one hand you have Martin Luther King Jr sacrificing his life just so others can do that and on the other side you have some drunk, almost famous pile of garbage who wants to separate anyone different so he can live in some bubble in some world where the biggest bubble gets to crush everyone elses. He needs to crawl back into the segregated hole he came from.

I didn't expect it from someone so privileged. It's just the worst of humanity.

Parts of bluesky are parts of the fediverse. So are parts of threads and wordpress now.
Absolutely. This is well within my comfort level for messing with inside my private home - I understand the underlying system, the problem they’re trying to solve, and why it’s a bad solution.

Certainly don’t go screwing around with mains electricity until you can articulate all of the above, and have an electrician friend show you how to make proper connections and such. But for most of HN… it wouldn’t be hard at all. Stripping insulation off 6/3 wire would be the hardest part of the process for most people here to install a whole new outlet for their EV. Changing a breaker is nearly child’s play.
No idea what prices you're referring. In Europe, the most popular car repairs franchise offers tire swap at less than 2 euro (per wheel) more than wheel swap. What steel wheel can you buy for 6 euro?
I missed the presign method. It would be very concise to be explicit here.

The more I look at recent bun developments the more it seems like they’re shooting for magic rather than intelligent design.

It’s clearly impressive stuff and I’m glad they’re doing what they’re doing, but stuff like this makes it so I’m hesitant to commit to the runtime APIs.
That comment by karpathy was not made in bad faith. It's clearly an experiment done right here on HN so we can judge the tool ourselves.

Infix isn't "nowadays". It's been with us for hundreds of years. Moreover infix constructs occur in natural languages. You know "apples and oranges".

Someone born in 1930s would have learned infix arithmetic in school just like somebody born in the 2010s.

Cannot work a remote, but can use RPN on an HP calculator? That sounds AI generated.
When we had our EV charger installed in our garage the electrician put in a sort of mini-panel right next to the charger with just two breakers in it.

I don't think the breaker for the EV charger has ever tripped, but if it did, it's very easy to access it and reset it.
Insurance (typically) covers negligence, but not intentional bad acts. Put a non GFCI breaker in post inspection (assuming you are comfortable doing so). “Breaker failed and I replaced it.” Change it before home inspection when you sell.
Go through his past comments, it's very hard to assume that.
