> The parents themselves are responsible

Parents give their kids access to guns and we all know how that ends. If we can't hold parents accountable for their children's violence, I seriously doubt we can do anything about parents failing to parent their kids on this topic.

What are we going to do? throw the single mom with 2 jobs and 5 kids in jail because she didn't pay $20/mo for parental controls on her kids devices?
Agree about applying the scientific method. I do think it’s a range of phenomena that does not lend itself to the running of experiments.

That said - in the area of shared death experiences, you have multiple independent accounts of people experiencing the same phenomena, which is harder (or impossible) to brush off as “subjective” experience.
Which only standardises existing practice, not inventing new ideas.

So first everyone implementing POSIX has to agree to move forward with thread safety where it fails short.
TFA explains that it’s all relative. Trying to detect 5ma of current going to the wrong place under a 48-amp load may be impossible and will probably result in constant false trips. Probably also in the middle of the night, leaving your car not charged in the morning.
I'm not accusing long-dead Greeks of corrupting long-dead Greeks, as I'm pretty unconcerned with the affairs of long-dead Greeks.

I'm accusing modern philosophers of spreading stupid and often harmful ideas because they are too enamored with a few long-dead Greeks to admit their ideas were often stupid and harmful.
They fixed that by making solar calculators that rely on the continued existence of our temporary sun.
Depends on the drones. 249g Camera drone ? Probably.

45k€ agricultural spraying drone? At least the ones I had the privilege to look at were programmed quite paranoid. Farmers tend to get really pissed if their equipment dies because of software issues.

> I used a lossless FLAC copy of the CD album from 2003 to see this. It’s quite possible a lot of this would be missing from lossy copies, such as MP3s, though I haven’t tested that.

Aren't music CDs already compressed using lossy compression? A FLAC copy of that uncompressed CD would be one generation away from the original, whereas an MP3 of the rip would be two generation removed from the original (i.e. still lossy, only more so)?
That’s odd. An EVSE doesn’t require protection. It is the protection.
I’ve gone from vim to vsc, and now to sublime. Sublime has a nice plugin ecosystem and is in python as well, and most importantly has LSP support written by the authors. It also is wayyyyy faster than VSC now; basically as fast as VIM, but has a better UI and I have vim keyboard integration.
Was hoping for bigger upgrade, ie 360 cameras, electronic rearview mirror, v2l, powered frunk, steer by wire.

Stalks should’ve been an option as steering wheel buttons are clearly future.

Putting more screens without ability to shut them off pisses me off.

Ventilated seats big one that was missing.
Seems cool. Unfortunately, I'm unwilling to type my name into a random website, especially one that, as far as I can tell, has no privacy policy linked from the home page.
Uhm... Why would it be a problem? A car is literally floating (electrically), so any ground fault would be within the charging circuit.

My charger is connected via a NEMA 14-50 outlet, that uses regular GFCI breakers in the panel. They have not ever tripped, outside of me testing the outlet.
> I was curious about the origin. It may not be what you expect.

As someone who's been following this for over a decade, I can assure you it is, in fact, what I expect.

That article is absolute nonsense, which you can tell by the fact that it claims the clock starts in 2021, when these bills have actually been introduced multiple times before then.

Furthermore, the article contradicts its own narrative, first claiming that a Howard Stern spot "started" it, then admitting two paragraphs later that the legislator was inspired by that radio show to contact... an anti-porn lobbyist that she had already known about for years. That's a really... interesting definition of "origin" that they're using.

Once they will be able to transmit any kind of information, we can talk. There is a prize, btw, of $1M for anything paranormal that stands up to scrutiny. Nobody was able to claim it since its inception 60 years ago.

UPD turns out the prize was cancelled in 2015 presumably because 50 years of seathing through failures finally convinced the bidder of futility of the efforts.

From Wiki: Randi has said that few unsuccessful applicants ever seriously considered that their failure to perform might be due to the nonexistence of the power they believe they possess.
But then I'm paying hundreds or thousands of dollars of my time for maybe a few hundred dollars gain. Sure, it's more expensive for them in absolute terms, but it's more expensive for me in relative terms. Not going to get hundreds of people to do this. A class-action lawsuit can actually be positive EV for everyone involved.

(Actually, I don't know whom they'd send -- I think, for small claims court, they have to send a paralegal rather than a lawyer.)
>They won't take on your typical engineer who got 7-8 figures out of an IPO because those men are low status and generally unattractive

low status? I'm not gay but I'd date you. Stability is way sexier than some sort of "I can fix him" broken/badass persona that people are stereotypically magnatized towards.

But yeah I apologize. I'm the same place without the IPO. All I can say is to just spend some time "fixing you". hire a private nutritionist and maybe trainer and just... ugh "looksmaxx", as the kids are saying.

Even if it somehow doesn't work, you'll feel a lot better about yourself.
No, compact disc audio is not compressed. It is raw 16-bit samples at a 44.1 kHz rate.

However I think compact disc audio is allowed to suffer some degradation from errors.

It takes well over 700 MB to store 70 minutes of CD audio. When the same disc is used for data, which has to be reliable, the capacity drops to 650 MB.
I guess similarly you can carefully craft a poster with a QR code and put it on a wall in a room with two LED bulbs. The bulbs will have different color temperature and the decoding will be dependent on which bulb is lit.

Another idea would be a poster that's not quite flat: Each pixel that is different is slightly raised (pyramid shaped) and the sides of the pyramid is colored differently. So the QR code scans differently from different sides.

One of the dominant banks here in Tbilisi allows sharing of IBAN number as QR codes. In theory, the trick could be used to steal money, but in practice, there are many safeguards such as the banking app displaying the name of the beneficiary before completing the process.
Reading this article and the thought process behind it reminds me of this almost-10-year-old comment I made about how they actually work: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9456444

Selecting an operator loads this value into the accumulator and makes room for the second operand to be typed in.

Here is where I think the first mistake was made; if you observe the effect of repeatedly pressing '=', that obviously does not clear any registers, but merely repeats the last operation.

But there’s more to the story: it’s actually a side effect of a little-known “K-constant” feature that retains one of the previously-entered operands and the operator, and lets you vary the other operand.

I haven't used any 4-function calculator that behaves like this; instead, I get (without clearing):

2 + 1 0 = 12
5 = 22
0 = 32
Fair enough but it’s not the best example to use to introduce GFCI.

Something like this?

“Though you rarely will see your bathroom GFCI trip (unless you’re dropping the hair dryer into the bath water), some kinds of larger, more complicated machinery can cause nuisance trips.”
“How did you know it went bad?”

…

“It kept flicking off every time I plugged my car in! Got a new one and it did the same thing, finally the helpful guy at the hardware store suggested using this one and now it works fine!”

I’d argue you aren’t taking on much fire risk anyway. Your medical insurance would probably be more interested than your home insurance. Also, don’t bathe with a plugged in car charger. In case that needed to be said…
Numerous times in the past three years the US has been asked to leave a country and it complies.
Evolution of AI is truly revolutionizing how developers code. With AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, etc more and more developers are becoming dependent on these tools to generate code. But a majority of the popular AI code generators are incapable of understanding the context of complex codes and this leads to incorrect code snippets.

We are working on Potpie (https://github.com/potpie-ai/potpie), which targets this very problem and helps the developers to build AI agents that truly understand your complex codebase and perform desired actions

Yes, EV chargers typically include their own fault detection of course. But regulations here (Australia/NZ) require a GCFI ("Type B RCD") to be installed, even if it's redundant.

Classic HP calculators used a fixed stack of four registers. In practice, you can do quite complicated things before you blow that up. Especially if you understand how the mechanism works, and plan ahead a bit.

Besides, infix-style calculators also seem to use a stack to handle operator precedence — if you squint a bit at the manual, you can usually see the shunting-yard algorithm at work behind the curtains.

Actually, some really early HP:s (only desktops, though, like the 9100) used a three-level “stack”, which I put in quotes, because it relied on the user to shift the registers up and down as needed. But they cheated a bit and displayed all three registers, so that the user could see what was where.
So then what’s protecting the protection? And that protection? At some point you have to stop. EVSEs have to be UL rated and conform to the J1772 spec. Their entire reason for existing is safety, and they basically don’t do anything else. They don’t modify the delivered power in any way. I guess they have a plug that’s rated for 1000s of connection cycles, but that’s really a safety thing too. Putting another GFCI behind that is a silly waste of time, money and another point of failure.
MusicBrainz and LastFM have much better genre information and on a track level, IIRC. Their APIs are free, I think. You could use them to look up genres.
Congratulations that's amazing. What are your next steps from here? Planning to continue or take a break?
Perhaps, but I think philosophys rightful purpose is about overcoming our drives and following some kind of moral, reason driven life.
Haha of course they know what they're doing. Their money is from the California pension funds. But they have returned well. So no hate.
You are talking about industrial applications. Devices running in residential or commercial environments should be better designed. Proper shielding and grounding is a much better solution than a Y capacitor.
I do believe on a macro level there will be more software engineering jobs in the short term (which is not contradictory to software engineers being laid off from some companies as part of AI workforce reshuffling among companies).

However there are at least 3 tipping points in the medium term that can alter this dynamics:

- AI becoming more capable and cost-effective than human in most aspects of software engineering. This would dramatically shift the ROI calculations and tip towards AI over human.

- We reach a stage where software resources and products are abundant, they solve most of our problems, and we don't need more software anymore. Sort of like WALL-E. Obviously we don't need so many software engineers then.

- AI systems take over software systems as the backbone of our technology layer, where AI is cheaper and more capable than software. Maybe we only need 100 different AI systems instead of 100k software systems. At this stage, we are going to be replacing software with AI, so we need less software engineers.
Here’s a really cool thing about continuous-everywhere differentiable-nowhere functions. A consequence of the Baire Category Theorem is that most continuous functions are nowhere-differentiable (in the same sense that “most” real numbers are irrational).

The familiar functions from calculus are the vanishing minority of continuous functions.

Interesting. I didn't know they were so focused on the most sought-after men. In some cultures, a large fraction of men is matched by matchmakers.
I'll try to dig up the criteria someday, if they're written down, but I imagine that "anything that triggered airbag inflation" is a good approximation.

Well, they aren't.

Line filters are everywhere. They're generally required to pass conducted emissions requirements. They aren't going away soon, and our fault protection devices need to work with them, not blindly ignore how we've been meeting EMC requirements for decades.

Here’s my understanding. It is intimidating to write a response to you, because you have an exceptionally clear writing style. I hope the more knowledgable HN crowd will correct any errors in fact or presentation style below.

Old school word embedding models (like Word2Vec) come up with embeddings by using masked word predictions. You can embed a whole sentence by taking the average of all the word embeddings in the sentence.

There are many scenarios where this average fails to distinguish between multiple meanings of a word. For example “fine weather” and “fine hair” both contain “fine” but mean different things.

Transformers are great at producing better embeddings by considering context, and using the words in the rest of the sentence to produce a better representation of each word. BERT is a great model to do this.

The problem is that if you want to use BERT by itself to compute relevance you need to perform a lot of compute per query because you have to concatenate the query and the document vector to produce a long sequence that can then be “embedded” by BERT. Figure 2c in the ColBERT paper [1]

What ColBERT does is to use the fact that BERT can use context from the entire sentence and its attention heads to produce a more nuanced representation of any token in its input. It does this once for all documents in its index. So for example (assuming “fine” was a token) it would embed the “fine” in the sentence “we’re having fine weather today” to a different vector than the fine in “Sarah has fine blond hair”. In ColBERT the size of the output embeddings are usually much smaller than the typical 1024 you might expect from a Word2Vec.

Now, if you have a query, you can do the same and produce token level embeddings for all the tokens in the query.

Once you have these two contextualised embeddings, you can check for the presence of the particular meaning of a word in the document using the dot product. For example the query “which children have fine hair” matches the document “Sarah had fine blond hair” because the token “fine” is used in the exact same context in both the query and the document and should be picked up by the MaxSim operation.

When I was reading this comment, I asked myself why karpathy writes like an AI. Then got disclaimer it was written by AI.

hey guys, I built an AI Agent which calls & schedules healthcare appointments. skip phone calls and annoying hold times! really did this for myself because I hate doing it. also saw that 88% of appts are still booked by phone, and missed appts cost the US $150B a year. would appreciate some thoughts from the HN community!

p.s. i'm aware OpenAI Operator just dropped, and this may become obsolete in the coming months. but still wanted to get some feedback from folks!
Yeah even putting aside the Temu specials, a belt and suspenders approach to not killing people does not deserve the derision this article gives it. The built in ground fault protection is there to protect the equipment not humans. In the real world stuff that “shouldn’t happen” eventually happens.
I love how wholesome the comments are, probably the most wholesome thread about startups I've ever seen.

I applaud the effort but honestly think if I was a new Linux user, this guide would be relatively useless.

Librem 5 caught massive delays, but eventually all of the phones had been produced and shipped to people who bought them and they've been available off-the-shelf for a good while now.

Ask HN: What is your experience in community help channels?
Full disclosure: I work at Portcullis, an enterprise chat support company and we have a vested interested in pointing out some of these discrepancies

I'm writing a research report about the vibes and actual tangible results of free community #help and support channels and want to know what the HN community thinks about it. It seems like every free Discord support community and Slack workspace I've ever been in has been totally disorganized and filled with hobbyists and Upwork freelancers, which is why I decided to start my current project.
I'm really curious if we'll ever know the extent to which bot, fake and zombie accounts have polarized us...
I haven't dug into this much--out of curiosity, what do you think are some of the most useful things you can learn?

> We’re collaborating with companies like DoorDash, Instacart, OpenTable, Priceline, StubHub, Thumbtack, Uber, and others to ensure Operator addresses real-world needs while respecting established norms.

I feel like people keep trying to push voice/chat interfaces for things that just flat out suck for voice? The #1 think I look for on a doordash page is a picture of the food. The #1 thing on a stubhub page? The seat map of course. Even things that are less visual like a flight booking, not only is it something that is uncommon and expensive so I don't want to fiddle with some potentially buggy overlay, I can scan a big list of times and numbers like 100X faster than an AI can tediously read them out to me. It only works if I can literally blindly trust that it got the best result result 100%, which is not something I think even a dedicated human assistant could achieve all the time.
Just want to say congratulations on the journey and reaching such a massive accomplishment!

Seeing a post like this on HN with all of the positive comments and thoughts is truly an inspiration.
Not much substance in the interview, I'd like to actually understand his reasoning. He's right about the simple concept, if nobody buys the bonds, the government eventually defaults. And if the borrower of last resort, the central bank, buys them up, inflation.

And hes right about the concept that a trader bets on their own worldview. They learn quickly if they're right or wrong about their understanding of the world, they learn it in a very personal way, they don't eat if they don't understand the world pretty well.

I don't dismiss what hes saying, I just want the meat and potatoes.

When driving a car with internal combustion engine, you pay a lot (in Europe especially a lot!) taxes in the gas price. This means that all the people driving EV would (so far) avoid this tax and this means that this must be put to an end!!!!1

So this move might be also about taxing the EVs (just a tin-foil-hat wearing conspiracy theory maker here, don't take my words too seriously)
Yeah. Sounds like there something wrong with the authors wiring or curling iron.

We have had whole-house GFCIs (or RDCs as we call them here) in the NZ electrical standards for 20 years, they seem to be pretty reliable, I've never seen them trip for without a reason.

I have seen them trip on devices that were barely faulty. Devices which worked fine on a regular outlet, but would trip a RCD.

Whoa, this is next-level stuff! I’ve been messing around with Cursor for a bit, and adding automated planning plus multi-agent collaboration? Genius move. It’s like you’ve given it a brain before it starts doing things, which should seriously cut down on those annoying AI glitches we all hate.

Checked out your repo, and I’m loving how you’re combining browser-driven searching with LLM analysis. Perfect for things like recon, code reviews, or some next-gen test automation. Quick question: how do you manage feedback loops or conflicting goals when multiple agents are in the same workspace? Have you run into any weird deadlocks or infinite loops?

Also, are you thinking about expanding into general LLM agent orchestration within Cursor for planning, design, development, and test automation? Imagining a setup where different agents handle various stages of the workflow seamlessly—it could revolutionize how teams collaborate and streamline complex projects. Anyway, major props for releasing something this fresh. Can’t wait to see more demos and real-world use cases showing how this automated planning handles more complex tasks. Keep crushing it!
