The starters used in start/stop vehicles are far more robust than normal ones, and start/stop in hybrids often don't even use the normal starter to turn the engine over. Because vehicles are often kept for quite some time, most start-stop systems will autodisable after a certain number of cycles, so that they only use a given portion of the starter's expected life. (disables the start/stop system, not the starter itself)
I don't understand. The quoted text appears nowhere in the linked page.
The communities centered around links and comments that I get the most value out of are those that are gently strict about the discourse that occurs on them. They are well curated by moderators. But importantly, still open to all to participate in.

That takes a lot of effort, and the right curators, to do well. Invite only websites seem like a poor replacement for this. Are there examples of invite-only websites that reach the quality of HN at its best?

Maybe by definition they are harder to point to.

Well supported as in Typescript is the tool that you already have installed in neovim or in VS Code or in JetBrains editors or in almost anything else that supports modern Language Server Protocol to do JS language services. Typescript is the LSP a lot of people use daily for all JS work (whether or not they also use types/Typescript). There's no additional install for JSX syntax highlighting or auto-completion because it's also built into the Typescript LSP.

As for not merging the PR - why are you entitled to have a PR merged? This attitude of entitlement around contributions is very disheartening as oss maintainer - it’s usually more work to review/merge/maintain a feature etc than to open a PR. Also no one is entitled to comments / discussion or literally one second of my time as an OSS maintainer. This is imo the cancer that is eating open source.

Also probably not even going forward. What prevents me from printing a copy of a card and claiming it's the real card and the one registered on the chain is the forgery?

NFTs for tracking real items is fundamentally flawed as it requires people to perfectly and accurately update the ledger and never feed false information into it. Also how do you crack a pack when they're NFT tracked? The whole economy of TCGs is built around the blind box element of loads of people buying packs of cards.

Happens all the time. I like to call it "structural instability" [1]

I think an objective measure of software quality is that the situation you describe doesn't happen. As an experienced dev I've got a very good idea of what kind of things management don't think is small. If you have a discussion with management and decide to a cut corners relative to authentication, authorization, user onboarding, device compatibility, things core to the user experience, or managing inappropriate behavior it is very likely. that between one month and two years this will be revisited in a hurry.

(1) People are too sanguine about routine cases such as "adding a field to a form" requires: (a) creating a migration of the database schema, (b) editing a Model object on the back end, (c) editing a DAO object on the back end, (d) editing an API endpoint on the back end, (e) editing an analytics page on the back end, (f) adding a path to the API gateway, (g) editing a model object on the front end, (h) changing an JSX form on the front end, (i) adding a line of code that copies the form data to the model object, (j) changing the front end validation logic, (k) document all of the above and (l) probably fight with version control, the build system, dependencies and stuff.

Imagine another world where you make one edit to a schema and all the rest of it is code generated, 12 steps could get done to 1. (The elusive 10x productivity boost!)

This case isn't so bad because it's routine, if you are bothered by it you probably have a checklist that you can use yourself or hand to a junior dev. However, you should be consistently designing things with problems in (1) in mind, such as...

(2) Many times an application lets a user fill out N phone numbers or email addresses, say N=2. It's very likely management will decide this is not enough and mandate N=3, then N=4, ... Writing

create table user (
...
phone_number varchar(20),
phone_number2 varchar(20),
phone_number3 varchar(20),
...
)

is for the birds, you are better off starting out with a data structure that lets you support 1-to-many relationship from the very beginning. For that you're better off making a user-facing user interface and an admin-facing UI from the very beginning where the user can click an "add" button to add another phone number field. It is on you to do the right thing as as soon as you can otherwise you're going to waste more effort N+1'ing it multiple times.

(3) The worst case is where a (1) situation interacts with bad decisions in (2) and the design and data structures are truly bad, the bad cases are far beyond routine, but the answer is that the type (1) cases should really hurt to you, you should be always be looking at type (2) solutions to head them off, you'll be making better decisions for the type (3).

I believe it does:

"Turns out your product wasn’t ready for all the international users. Or the power users. Or the teens. They want to use your product in all the wrong ways, posting bad and weird things."

It is basically in line with the infamous "You're holding it wrong".
Thanks for the clarification! That sounds about as evolvable as JSON or any system that uses string keys (like HTTP headers).

Protobufs have an extra level of indirection built in: code refers to fields using names, but numbers are sent on the wire. Without convenient access to field numbers, they can’t as easily be hard-coded. This also strongly encourages using the schema file for most tasks. With protobufs (or similar), any user-friendly editor will need a schema to make sense of the data.

JSON-like systems and protobufs have opposite design goals: encouraging versus discouraging schemaless data access.
It's in one of the collapsed comments. Quoted below:

https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/11016#issuecomme...

So Ollama are basically forking a little bit of everything to try and achieve vendor lock-in. Some examples:

The Ollama transport protocol, it just a slightly forked version of the OCI protocol (they are ex-Docker guys). Just forked enough so one can't use dockerhub, quay.io, helm, etc. (so people will have to buy Ollama Enterprise servers or whatever).

They have forked llama.cpp (I would much rather we upstreamed to llama.cpp than forked, like upstreamining to Linus's kernel tree).

They don't use jinja like everyone else, they use this:

https://ollama.com/library/granite-code/blobs/977871d28ce4

etc.

So we started a project called RamaLama to unfork all these bits

Looks like another dead forum for gamedev.

The ultimate problem is that there's just an abundance of people doing game development or game tool (engines, tools etc) development. The market is utterly saturated and honestly it's a bit depressing. People putting their heart and soul just to have "0 views, 0 comments". What's the point?

Of course this is more like an aggregator of game dev content so now you can observe the "0 views, 0 comments" phenomenom on content that itself has "0 views, 0 comments". ;-)
Is this a response to the court case where commercial parties claim their free weather app is too powerful?

https://www.reddit.com/r/nederlands/comments/1icralr/buienra...:

"The NVWB, of which Buienradar is a member, believes that the weather forecasting app does not fall within the KNMI's legal duties, the association told the Algemeen Dagblad. According to government regulations, the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute must issue 'general weather reports' and weather warnings, but the new version of the app offers many more functions."

"The app includes local forecasts at postcode level and can display radar images. These are functions that weather apps like Buienradar, Weeronline and Buienalarm already offer. The KNMI app is free, ad-free and is funded with government money. According to the association, this creates unfair competition and is contrary to the law."

"The government wants to expand the KNMI's tasks, but the association wants to prevent this through summary proceedings. 'If the judge does not agree with us, our existence is threatened,' says the NVWB to the AD. The KNMI did not want to respond substantively to the lawsuit to the newspaper."

"The Gruffalo" is fine, but literature is more about depth than novelty. A book like Eoin McLaughlin's "The Hug" is just as easy to understand and also has a unique construction that makes it like "no other children's book".

That doesn't make either "The Gruffalo" or "The Hug" comparable to the depth of works like "Winnie the Pooh", "Where the Wild Things Are", or "The Story of Ferdinand".

> I find it strange that we generally frown upon the "Buy something or get out" mentality in brick-and-mortar stores

Loitering spends up resources used by other paying customers. Moreover, if you go into a brick-and-mortar store intending to make a purchase but the store is full of people walking around, talking, and not really purchasing anything, then all of those people are getting in the way. At best they're slowing down your paying customers who have to navigate around them. They're probably also antagonizing your paying customers with conversations about nothingburgers instead of conversations about the products. It's also extremely possible that they're causing fire/emergency hazards (eg, too many people, too constricted space).

> It seems like castigating your potential customers because they didn't give you money immediately or give you as much money as you wanted is a shitty business practice.

I completely agree. In the age of "everything online is free", it's especially shitty to demand people to pay up without giving them opportunity to view and exercise the product.

There's a lot of odd stuff we're gradually figuring. Also interesting, some of the hair cells in the ear act as amplifiers and you can hook them up to an electrical sound signal and have them dance around:

https://youtu.be/pij8a8aNpWQ

I suspect the standard explanation for that as given under the youtube video:

> Since the amplitude, and hence the mechanical energy, of airborne sounds is tiny, the cochlea mechanically amplifies the incoming vibrations.

is wrong as it doesn't really make sense from an engineering point of view - if you've already detected the sound to activate the hair cell then that job's done. My theory is they actively damp down the large vibrations so you can pick up the small ones. There's a 10^5 amplitude difference between large and small.

If by popular fantasy you mean replicating the functional profiles of the visual and language cortex of the brain, then yes. These ideas in neuroscience are popular, but not fantasy. I encourage you to read up on functional organization in the brain, it's very fascinating.

> it’s not scientifically useful

Having structured weights in GPTs enables us to localize and control various concepts and study stuff like polysemanticity, superposition, etc. Other scientific directions include sparse inference (already proven to work) and better model editing. Turns out, topographic structure also helps these models better predict neural data, which is yet another direction we're exploring in computational neuroscience.

Your comment about looky-loos got me thinking about real-world socialization. People who hang around the edge of a group in the real world, looking like they're trying not to be noticed, get pegged as creepy - it looks like predator behavior in the wild! The group then has a reason to either invite them to participate or keep them out - otherwise they're making the space feel unsafe.

The edge-hangers have two good choices: They can be very visibly present and then join the conversation when an opportunity presents itself, or they can leave.

Social-media edge-hangers don't have to do anything, they can just hang there forever without clearly joining or leaving the group.
Modern houses do have a lot more lightbulbs if you feel like keeping count, I saw a kitchen with something like 6 or 7 of them recently. Although I'd assume the big uptick would be industrial consumers. Particularly 24/7 operations with lots of opportunities for lighting. Or people would start installing better streetlamps as the ability to do so improved. But the point I'd like to make is that your lack of imagination isn't going to overcome the laws of economics no matter how much you can't imagine change. "I can't imagine basic results playing out" isn't an argument for why they won't, it just means you don't understand the situation well. Jevons' paradox flows pretty directly from the laws of supply and demand and the observation that energy demand is highly elastic because it does anything and everything.

And an important concept that you may be unaware of is 'fungibility' - that means some goods (energy being a prime example) can be repurposed across a wide range of activities and not just lighting. So if people don't need to put as much energy into lighting then they take the energy they would have used and put it to something else, like more comforts in their life. It is a very reliable trend.

> Looky-loos, on the other hand, are a pain in the ass, because they will log in once, peer around, realize the app has nothing for them, and never come back

I am not a native English speaker, so may be wrong, but as I understand the word, a looky-loo is derogatory for someone with no real intention to buy.

If users do not “realize the app has nothing for them” (your words) before trying the app, by this definition they are NOT looky-loos and you’re unfairly deriding them by calling them that :)

In my humble opinion. No judging and no big deal, just a bit too harsh for my tastes.
I don't read it that way. The hypothetical author here didn't "waste" any resources to make a viral video--it happened by chance. He got an influx of users from someone else's viral video, but he decided those people are "shitty" users because they didn't stick around and buy his product.

That doesn't strike me as maximizing long-term users; that strikes me as getting free publicity and being pissed off that it didn't attract the kind of customers you wanted.

How do they even find you? Once they have your printer model and serial number, can they find the user?

I can see how this could be used to prove or disprove it was some suspect's printer, or if it was the same printer between documents. And that's already a lot. But somehow I doubt that they have the database of serial number to person.

For example you can pay with cash, and you can buy second hand.
If what you say is true no European country would be using any US systems - as I think it's obvious ( despite the various attempts at various fig leaves ) that US and EU law is fundamentally not compatible in terms of privacy.

What actually happens is you have people seeing no evil, hearing no evil and speaking no evil - by going lalalala - hoping that because everybody else is doing it they won't get fired.

This happens because alternatives seem too hard.
I’m not the person you were replying too but I think I can set the matter straight.

You said: the property "associated to the concept of jew-murder" doesn't automatically make judging a technical company by the alleged beliefs of its operator sensical.

This is where we disagree. The key part of the statement “technical company” isn’t “technical”. It’s “company”.

The reason the mods (cross fingers) haven’t shut this discussion down is because HN isn’t just a tech forum, it’s also a business forum.

From a business perspective, it’s completely fair to criticize the political viewpoint and even national allegiance of another business. And it’s fair to question if Apple is squandering its goodwill by associating with bad actors. Technical competency is irrelevant if people are reluctant to buy your products or others are reluctant to integrate with you due to your political beliefs.

That’s why it’s often recommended that business leaders do not speak outside their area of expertise and if they have to give a political opinion then they should align with the majority and the governments stance (which arguably Musk is doing).
