Adjacent topic: does anybody (US) use Chase Bank from linux? it won't let me use Chromium* or Brave (it used to; it doesn't tell me I can't, it just won't send me TFA confirmation codes to my phone or "recognize" when I log into the phone app. Phone app works, but doesn't have all the features of the web portal.

The bigger picture problem is that Musk's grandfather Haldeman was part of the technocracy movement, which wanted to implement the "North American Technate", which includes Canada, Greenland and much of middle America:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technocracy_movement#The_Techn...

The agenda 2025 is eerily similar, including the proposed land grabs and a tech style governance by "elites".
This is probably what could be considered the core of the whole process:

"Since collapse in material technology is always preceded by collapse in the practice of social technology, Dark Ages are always preceded by Intellectual Dark Ages. Knowledge of these social technologies is highly compartmentalized and, as a result, they are not understood explicitly by all parts of society. This means that a society undergoing an Intellectual Dark Age doesn’t realize it is going through one at all—all the people who would notice are long-gone, and those who remain are miseducated, role-playing the forms left behind by their predecessors without realizing that they’ve lost the substance. Often not just the knowledge, but the socioeconomic niche that once fostered the creation of new social technology has been obliterated in all but name."

> “Before we can add tests, we need to refactor.” - “No.” - “Refactoring th–” - “No.” - “Refa–” - “No.”

What to do instead: Instead of “refactoring” without tests, we can start by writing some tests! Writing new tests will help us learn about the code. After that, we can come back to refactoring.

I assume the author means system tests here? Because it's absolutely possible to have code that is so entangled that it's impossible to write self-contained unit tests before, well, refactoring the code.
Why would you expect people using non-standard browsers don't buy things? Presumably they still eat food, wear clothing, and enjoy hobbies.

> LLMs will compete with outsourced developers

I guess the question is whether the person you are replying to is potentially living in a country where most of the work is currently being outsourced, as this could significantly impact their career path.

It is interesting that you bring up outsourced work, as I strongly believe that a lot of the bad code generated by AI is the result of not feeding it enough information.

When you outsource work, you are usually forced to document things more thoroughly to work around language and domain knowledge. Basically, clarity is a requirement and maybe outsource companies will experience the most impact.

No More 2D Feeds–A Hands-Free Reddit Explorer (Built with Grep)
Hands-Free Reddit?
I built a Chrome extension that lets you browse Reddit without scrolling.

Instead of a 2D grid, Gravitas Threads presents posts in a 3D space, letting you explore dynamically using a physics-based recommendation system (GREP—Gravitas Recommendation Engine Protocol).

GIFs & videos autoplay and get fetched as needed.
No infinite scroll—just fluid, interactive browsing
Explore content like a real-time data visualization
Reddit posts become dynamic objects you can interact with

Why I Built This
Most social platforms force you to scroll endlessly. I wanted a system where posts are treated as dynamic objects, and you can explore them naturally. Also, I wanted to create a recommendation system which busts up the "rich get richer" dynamics of most algorithms.

It’s free on the Chrome Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/gravitas-threads/jm...

Would love to hear feedback from HN!

At the pack level, it seems to be a lot less than that. If you compare a Tesla Model Y standard range (with LFP pack) to a Model Y long range (with NMC), you're looking at around 62 kWh vs 80 kWh for the latest versions, putting the difference in energy density at < 30%.

I know some do.

But as long as you don't do anything unusual you are basically introducing a (potentially huge) availability risk to your service for no reason but except not liking panics.

Like it's now enough for there to be a single subtle bug causing a panic to have a potentially pretty trivially exploitable and cheap DoS attack vector. Worse this might even happen accidentally. Turning a situation where some endpoints are unavailable due to a bug into one where your servers are constantly crashing.

Sure you might gain some performance, but for many use cases this performance is to small to reason in favor of this decisions.

Now if you only have very short lived calls, and not too many parallel calls in any point in time, and anyway spread scaling across many very very small nodes it might not matter that you might kill other requests, but once that isn't the case it seems to most times be a bad decision.

It also doesn't really add security benefits, maybe outside of you having very complicated in memory state or similar which isn't shared across multiple nodes through some form of db (if it is, you anyway have state crossing panics, or in your case service restarts).
Laws (in science, not government) are just a relationship that is consistently observed, so Newton's laws remain laws until contradictions were observed, regardless of the existence of or more alternative models which would predict them to hold.

The kind of Occam’s Razor-ish rule you seem to be trying to query about is basically a rule of thumb for selecting among formulations of equal observed predictive power that are not strictly equivalent (that is, if they predict exactly the same actually observed phenomenon instead of different subsets of subjectively equal importance, they still differ in predictions which have not been testable), whereas Newtonian and Lagrangian mechanics are different formulations that are strictly equivalent, which means you may choose between them for pedagogy or practical computation, but you can't choose between them for truth because the truth of one implies the truth of the other, in either direction; they are the exactly the same in sibstance, differing only in presentation.

(And even where it applies, its just a rule of thumb to reject complications until they are observed to be necessary.)

Peacock is terrible. They are, as far as I can tell, the only mainstream service of this sort that actively block Linux users. I can use Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, Disney+, Max, Prime Video, etc. from Linux with zero issues. But Peacock? Nope. Doesn't work, and given that it had worked in the past, it seems like they have taken active measures to block Linux and to close any workarounds that let you use their service from a Linux box. So fuck Peacock. They have some content I would watch, and that I'd be happy to pay for. But they actively reject my business, so fuck 'em.

Yes, IMHO this is the appropriate response. What is the energy density and charge retention of aluminum salt compared to a lithium ion battery chemistry? TFA doesn't bother to divulge these critical figures.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Dear battery technology claimant,

Thank you for your submission of proposed new revolutionary battery technology. Your new technology claims to be superior to existing lithium-ion technology and is just around the corner from taking over the world. Unfortunately your technology will likely fail, because:

[ ] it is impractical to manufacture at scale.

[ ] it will be too expensive for users.

[ ] it suffers from too few recharge cycles.

[ ] it is incapable of delivering current at sufficient levels.

[ ] it lacks thermal stability at low or high temperatures.

[ ] it lacks the energy density to make it sufficiently portable.

[ ] it has too short of a lifetime.

[ ] its charge rate is too slow.

[ ] its materials are too toxic.

[ ] it is too likely to catch fire or explode.

[ ] it is too minimal of a step forward for anybody to care.

[ ] this was already done 20 years ago and didn't work then.

[ ] by this time it ships li-ion advances will match it.

[ ] your claims are lies.

Scala used to be my hobby / enthusiast language. Introduced to it through a college course, and used a bit through school. Later, I would use it for Advent of Code, tinkered with a Scala Play webapp, and dream about using it professionally. Rust has almost completely filled that void now. Rust is native, I'm not waiting on the 1.0 release of `scala-native` anymore. The community around Rust seems to be enthusiastic and growing, as opposed to languishing for Scala. I hold some reservations about Rust in terms of how complicated it is. Despite having used it for an amount of time that I would be feeling comfortable in most languages, I am still not comfortable and continually encounter _stuff I don't understand_.

RIP Scala, I will miss you! You showed me the joy of pattern matching, functional OO, currying, how to use `map` `flatMap` `fold`, etc. All things with continued influence! <3
Probably the normal amount, by:

- forgetting wrong predictions

- tweaking your predictions after the fact to be more correct

- only making predictions you are relatively sure of

The real difference is whether you can do it on command, or only when you feel like it. In the second case, it's less of a prediction, and more of a roundabout way your brain tells you that you know something.
I want to learn, but I can't display that I learned them. You know the whole thing where real projects are more valuable than simply "I did a tutorial"? I struggle to find ways to apply LLMs practically beyond like one project (which is basically someone else's anyway). That's my struggle.

Also a lot of psychology and philosophy books in undergrad were foundational to my thinking. The Moral Animal, the Moral Landscape, The Blank Slate, The Republic and Plato’s writings on Socrates, Tao te Ching, Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, the Tanakh and parts of the Talmud, but many of these were more academic, still holistically they have shaped my thinking and moral compass.

> It’s all well and good that they’re eigenfunctions of translations, but it still left me wondering why we care about that in the first place.

You don’t need the convolution statement to see that (as the comment you linked above also demonstrates). A good linear algebra course should have the statement that any set of commuting operators has a common eigenbasis[1]. In particular, if an operator has nondegenerate eigenvalues, then its (essentially unique) eigenbasis is also an eigenbasis for any operator that commutes with it. Take a translation as the former operator and any translation-invariant operator as the latter and you see why all of these just got diagonalized simultaneously.

Above I’ve blatantly ignored all the infinite-dimensional problems that arise when attempting to explain grown-up Fourier transforms, but literally this is actually enough if your Fourier transform is finite-dimensional—the Fourier transform on Z/nZ (aka the discrete Fourier transform on a circle) is most commonly used in applications, but literally everything goes through word for word on an arbitrary finite Abelian group. If your mental powers of abstraction feel like they should be able to acquire some intuition about the real case from the finite case, I highly recommend you read Paul Garrett’s note on the topic[2].

That said, yes, the statement on convolution operators is unreasonably hard to find or stumble upon in the literature. Part of it is that stating it properly is annoying and fussy. Another part is purely terminological: the term “convolution operator” is really rare among books younger than half a century. The usual term is instead “Fourier multiplier” or just “multiplier”, which basically makes sense iff you already know the convolution theorem. Searching for the modern term should give you a plethora of sources. (AFAIU, part of the motivation for this switch is that working with the Fourier transform of your convolution kernel instead of the kernel itself allows one to avoid distributions / generalized functions—and the associated hardcore functional analysis—longer. Consider that, if you want to use kernels, already the literal identity operator forces you to work with the Dirac delta.)

[1] If A and B commute, then any eigenspace ker(A-tE) of A is invariant under B, so decompose your space into a direct sum of eigenspaces of one of your operators and recurse on each. Choose an arbitrary basis when the operators run out.

The name was always a corporate placeholder and I liked the idea of US Steel or General Electric type names. Some startups have done similar things, and many people actually like the name a ton. But I know it's controversial and so any products I made have their own names and branding that's pretty separate (see: Abbey).
