Sure if you pay a base fee maybe but if you went 100% solar to cover all your needs and completely disconnected from the grid so you were not a paying customer then what? How many houses have to leave the grid switching to solar before the grid is no longer viable? At some point in time we will reach a tipping point. If half of all households left the grid to solar could the other half support the upkeep of the entire grid? My guess is no. So at some point we will need to subsidize the grid for those still on it or force them to switch to solar. It will be hard. Solar is not cheap upfront even though overall it is cheaper.
As for the EV's I hear it is already happening in some places you are being charged for how much you drive however they do that.
VSCode is opensource. Remote ssh agent is not.
I believe the median endowment of an R1 university is around $1 billion. That corresponds to $30 million to $40 million of sustained income a year. Enough to fund a single reasonably large academic department, or about as much as grant overheads.

Except that universities usually can't use their endowments as they see fit. Big donors often prefer funding fancy buildings and other singular things over daily operations.

Tuition fees are already too low in most public research universities. Combined with the decline of state funding over the decades, many of them are now facing major budget cuts. Take away grant overheads, and you'll start seeing tenured faculty laid off and entire departments closing.

And this is not a perversion of the research funding mechanism but deliberate policy. Back in my previous life, when I was somewhat involved in educational policy in another country, I saw a shift to a similar policy partially inspired by what was already done in the US. The government took a big chunk of core funding for universities, gave the money to research funders, and significantly increased overhead rates. Instead of awarding money based on opaque negotiations between universities and the government, which were prone to corruption, that money would be given according to competitiveness in research.

Well, Russian / Soviet secret polices might be examples?
What do you mean by static IPs? Mullvad has never offered static IPs to customers. Please clarify.
The actual constituted nations of Europe as they exist today? Aside from the UK, not long. Most of them are states that came into existence in the 20th century. Germany was the 1980's. The rest are generally 19th century.
> electric kettles would be more popular in the US if they worked as quickly as they do on 240V

Euro standards are 8-10A 240V circuits. I have an EU kettle, and it draws max 2200W.

US standards are 15A 120V circuits. It could draw 1800W, though some kettles might limit to 12A and draw 1440W.

So a Euro kettle might have 22%-52% more power than a US, which increases a 4 minute boil to 4m53s or 6m7s worst case.

So it seems like it's not a significant factor, though it would be useful if US kettles really maximize power.
Yes, and the flip-flop happened within a few minutes.
Oh, yes, the idea of settling anything on social media is horrible.

I was just pointing out that the positions are much more binary and un-nuanced than the previous poster was claiming, even in the thread in question. I'd bet the DMA maintainer is not the only one who holds this dogmatic position, either.

I'll also note that the complaints from this maintainer aren't even social though. He is very explicit in his reasoning: two+ languages bad, single language good. There's clearly little that will change this, other than working around him (though, again, I agree that social media blackmail certainly won't improve anything).
Curious if you could provide more information about the other sources EV drivers pay? Is it at point of sale or where do they pay this? I am sure it is different depending on the region but I was always under the belief that road tax payed on gas where I am is the most significant contributor to road funding. Thank you I would enjoy learning more about what other revenue sources EV's contribute to.
The US is irrelevant. This is about the big coal-using countries.
Yes, fuel duty does bring in a lot of money, but it doesn’t go directly into fixing the roads—it generally goes into the government’s general budget.

Local councils who are responsible for fixing the roads have been underfunded for years and is normally the area that gets squeezed the most. The British weather doesn’t help too with constant rain and freezing winters…
always knew rust was good for nothing... now look what it did. the language itswlf is in conflict with itself and anything it touches in a serious way reflect that silly state
Man, I'm getting hard tinfoil conspiracy vibes from this one. Not everything in life is done with malicious intent. Most of the time it's humans trying to do the best they can come up with under pressure.

Maybe go touch some grass once in a while, it's healthy for the soul.

Also, please make a suggestion on how to build a better SSH protocol. Complaints are kind of useless without constructive criticism.
Yes, 20 years ago. Let go.
It's definitely your environment, Rust isn't nearly as popular for actual projects getting done as it is in (for example) StackOverflow's survey. C, C++, Odin and Zig are all languages where whatever C knowledge you have right now can trivially be put to use to do things, immediately, I think it makes perfect sense that unless someone is just really into doing Rust things they'll just take the trivially applicable ways of working and use the aforementioned languages (which all have much better support for batch memory management and custom allocators than Rust, it should be added).
But you just explained how it fits perfectly in your last comment. That’s literally the same thing that happens in the book.

Of course if having a brain would be on the table there would be no contest.
Being the highest correlation in a rather arbitrary list is not a valid qualifier for being a good correlation.
I have ended up with different understanding from Von Mises text. The point is that economics need to progress from axioms that are true.

This means that we start with axioms like humans have ideas how to improve their situation. Humans act with the goal of attaining to ideas they have. These are something that we can't or don't need to prove. With these two axioms we can start creating a complete set of reasonings that will explain market phenomena that happens in the real world.

And the reason why this is needed and is so important is that there are no constants in the realm of human action. That is the criticism of positivism in economics.

Positivist methods can help greatly with building theories in "natural sciences" as there are mechanistic actions and constants that are revealed by comparing rations. (this is the way we got to understand how atoms bind to molecules and how strong the gravity is). We haven't found similar constants in market phenomena and Von Mises thought we never will.

But we have found laws like the law of supply and demand or comparative advantage. And that we have reached with using only reasoning.
I don't know the better way to ask this question, so I'm just going to ask it:

"Congratulations, you're right, and nobody cares."

Now what? Just complain that the kernel isn't hospitable to Rust, and hope 15 years from now we're all using some Linux-compatible kernel built ground-up in Rust?

I genuinely want to know where you go from this position.
I live in Hungary and the roads here are incredibly bad with millions of potholes. Hot summers and cold winters doesn’t help either.

But what I noticed that if the asphalt has higer mixture of stones (usually they use basalt here) then there are virtually almost no potholes. It’s more loud as the surface is more rough but by my layman experience it’s much more durable. Pure asphalt roads with very little stone content always become pothole minefields quickly.

So I just generally don’t know why higher stone content is not a standard. Probably more expensive and maybe because of the sound too. I don’t think it’s more slippery in wet conditions.
> Because if you take the limit of these arguments as they approach infinity, it all falls apart.

Not everyone is a Kantian, who has the moral philsophy you are talking about, the categorical imperative. See this [0] for a list of criticisms to said philosophy.

> In a vacuum making an AI book is whatever. In the context of humanity and pushing this to it's limits, we can't even begin to comprehend the consequences. I'm talking crimes against humanity beyond your wildest dreams. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you haven't thought long enough and creatively enough.

Not really a valid argument, again it's circular in reasoning with a lot of empty claims with no actual reasoning, why exactly is it bad? Just saying "you haven't thought long enough and creatively enough" does not cut it in any serious discussion, the burden of substantiating your own claim is on you, not the reader, because (to take your own Kantian argument) anyone you've debating could simply terminate the conversation by accusing you of not thinking about the problem deep enough, meaning that no one actually learns anything at all when everyone is shifting the burden of proof to everyone else.

Most, but not all. There are still stations out there bucking those trends.

A local example is "Easy 104.1" here in Reno. I stumbled on it by complete accident about a month ago, and after said month's worth of daily listening I haven't heard a single song played twice. Everything from funk to R&B to alternative rock to adult contemporary to new wave and everything in between, from the 1960's to the 2000's. Songs I've never heard before, songs I've last heard years ago, songs that I last heard yesterday. Loreena McKennitt's "The Mummers' Dance" came on today and that's a song that'd been playing in my head for multiple decades with no idea whatsoever what it's called or any of the words in it (eliminating any possibility of looking it up); now I've finally found it thanks to some random radio station that plays everything that the other stations don't. And if that ain't enough, the "commercial breaks" usually are just one commercial - or hell, often half of a commercial.
My best teachers were like that. My worst teachers, I feel like, did not understand or like math.

Only of you already know what the VSCode agent does and then you don't need the article.
It's good and useful to see empirical analyses like this. I use open & custom VLMs a lot. The point of VLMs is that OCR is not needed anymore: it's intrinsic to the model.
For instance at work we've developed a family vision-based RAG, and it's performance is twice that of a text-based one.
The point I'd like to make here is that OCR is an intermediate step that is not explicitly needed anymore, un many cases.
My hunch is that pure OCR will go away.
dònt need to jump into bios/uefi, but a) secureboot is often off, so uefi app or driver will do.. its not hard. theres ways around sb too if needed. b) ppl dont use FDE or use a broken one. so u can just mount the disk of the other os.. c) can find a lot of other places to hop between oses on a system which have glaring holes.
It is worth harking back to the Mertonian Norms of science[1], and seeing how we're doing.

> The four Mertonian norms (often abbreviated as the CUDO-norms) can be summarised as:

communism: all scientists should have common ownership of scientific goods (intellectual property), to promote collective collaboration; secrecy is the opposite of this norm.[3]
universalism: scientific validity is independent of the sociopolitical status/personal attributes of its participants.[4]
disinterestedness: scientific institutions act for the benefit of a common scientific enterprise, rather than for specific outcomes[5] or the resulting personal gain of individuals within them.
organized skepticism: scientific claims should be exposed to critical scrutiny before being accepted: both in methodology and institutional codes of conduct.[6]

We are not doing well on any of the four norms identified by Merton. In my opinion. If you disagree, please say why below.

I'm a Rust coder who also occasionally watches Prime, and I've never seen Prime casually pour gasoline on fires. Yes his whole business model is reacting to whatever content is hot right now, but he always does so in a considerate and non inflammatory manner.

He's not a fan of Rust for totally legitimate reasons.
Cheaper only because you're subsidizing the cost of the road (by delaying maintenance) from the pocket of the road users which will now collectively have to do maintenance on the car slightly sooner on average, with some people getting the brunt of it if they have an actual accident that requires immediate repair. In some worse cases it even makes a road much slower to traverse in order to deal with the constant bumps, basically returning to the quality of a gravel road, which also has potential economic impacts on "trade".
I totally agree that even "just threatening" a social media campaign is the wrong way. We are on the same page here.

I totally disagree that the other contributor is "a bit" abrasive though.

It's like a religious war. Brings the worst out of otherwise smart and not asshole people.
Sure, but it's still a choice that C made, long before C++, so it's bizarre to see it in reference to how much worse C++ is.

As for the actual syntax itself, I do wonder why they didn't use ## or #{ }# or something similar, since # was only being used for the preprocessor, whereas / and * were much more common.
saw the latest m microcode update debacle. rip my ryzen cpu hah :')

u can allow linux to do it, u can also not allow it.. depends on what u allow really :'). tho, ofc vuls exist and ppl might yet find a way. also u can edit ur kernel etc. to stop certain features. disalow kmods being loaded etc. etc. its not as easy to find holes on a properly configured system as windows. tho its quite hard to do a proper config especially if u want to do gaming and want wine to run etc.

How about a CSV import? My banks all have an option to export transactions to a CSV file. You would need an import tool to create the mapping though.
This reply is a gem…
And on Mac, it just does the wrong thing for most shortcuts (the basic moving ones, like Option-Left/Right, which work on any Mac app, including browsers, but not on Kate), which is a huge shame because otherwise it's a very good editor.
No specific tax in any country funds things directly. It's just a ploy to get people to accept new taxes. Every tax is whatever % it is of the global tax revenue and that's it, and if you know what a tax dollar is used for you can look at the overall budget of expenses.

For example, if I say I will create a tax to protect the children, exclusively used to fund orphanages, you go oh man that sounds great. But you already have a huge budget and you already have existing taxes you could've raised for that. So the only reason you do it like this is optics and so that later you can repurpose the tax. Reading a bit about historical reasons for some taxes is a good way to learn this.

Specific taxes like this can and do modulate demand and can adjust the costs to the actual users, but very rarely for funding isn't it only a sleight of hand.
2021-2023 were different times, now almost zero chances, if they receive thousands CVs.
More stones also make asphalt more slippery in wet conditions don't they?
I hope they fork Linux. A safer kernel and modern faster development practices would be excellent for the entire ecosystem
Isn’t that just following through on “from how it was reached”? Without any of that additional information, if the LLM gave the same result, we should consider it the product of hallucination
> know to be morally reprehensible

In your opinion, not to everyone. There has been no actual argument as to why it's supposedly "morally reprehensible."
yooo, )
Can I ask something controversial? What if Rust never becomes a significant part of the Linux kernel? What if they keep stalling and all the people pushing for it give up? There seems to be this faith on HN that Rust absolutely belongs in the Linux kernel and if not, the project is a failure.
I single-handedly got the mayor of my small town to fill in a bunch of potholes on a road leading to my parents place. I have an old car and while the suspension is great, it's destroyed the bottom of my car and multiple valences costing me a lot since it sits so low. I started calling the mayor every single day and we ended up talking for a few hours.

Nothing got done until I distributed flyers and went knocking on every single home along my route to my parents on that shitty road and got everyone to call him whenever they could.

The road got fixed and has stayed that way. The grand irony is that the hill is so steep that the only way I managed to get up it was with those potholes. Now I have to take the long 5km route around every time because my car can't make it up this smooth dirt road in the winter now as my car is sub-1000 kilos. I think the gas and lost-parts cost has now evened out at least!
No - it’s socially strongly frowned upon to not mute your phone on a train, and it’s written everywhere that you should be quiet, so SNCF is just materializing this .

I remember years ago group of four loud American tourists ( who were just having a loud conversation, they weren’t throwing beer bottles around )- passengers, not staff, repeatedly told them to be quiet. I still remember the look of misunderstanding of how of the tourists, who clearly didn’t understand what he was doing wrong.
Amazing that most commenters seem to even be unaware of Eclipse Theia which is basically THE open-source VSCode. They need better marketing (well, being open-source, they'll never have great marketing like MSFT, of course).
"[LLM-generated code] is ultra-useful if you can close the loop between the LLM and the execution environment (with an “Agent” setup). There’s lots to say about this, but for the moment: it’s a semi-effective antidote to hallucination: the LLM generates the code, the agent scaffolding runs the code, the code generates errors, the agent feeds it back to the LLM, the process iterates."

Okay, so who's doing this today and how?

This question came up recently in the Aider discord and not many had a good answer.

Aider is great but the SDK is weak and second-class, so interacting with the repl frustrates agent-dev.

Sidecar (which can run independently of Aide IDE, not to be confused with Aider), https://github.com/codestoryai/sidecar/ is one agent that was mentioned. Many of that projects issues are auto-responded to by a PR-creating agent.

Anything else I'm missing?

In general, I know how I would build an agentic dev-loop, I'm just looking for a good SDK that handles prompting and diff merging etc. i.e. Aider as an SDK or similar.
Lots of providers exist for bank information, Plaid is one of them. That's what many of these auto import personal finance softwares use.
I also wouldn’t say hiring for a different role would be an issue.

But, like you say, you are also still hiring for the same role or you announce a role and pause hiring. I’d improve these processes instead.

Looks like a solid project, will be interested in giving it a shot

Aside: I built my own expense tracker [1] as well to categorise expenses using LLMs as I needed a quick way to log the entries. I’ve been meaning to export these to Actual budget for a detailed analysis but haven’t done that yet.

There are easy and good answers, just none that every single one would agree with, and that is the problem.

The current management model is based on consensus in some parts, and a dictatorship in others. Its not clear which parts are which because of sprawl, and non-responsiveness.

This is a core communication people issue. The problems arise because in consensus models, people are expected to adopt archetypical roles based somewhat on preference, but mostly on the needs of the group, towards productivity.

If no one else is doing that type of role, someone will be forced into doing it, and will adopt characteristics of that role, regardless of their personal opinions about it.

When they get punished for fulfilling the role, you lose people.

> doesn't mean we should throw our hands up and consider things "unfixable" either.

The given structure is unfixable, because it sets the stage for a trauma loop where actions can't take place without people who are expected to fulfill a role to meet consensus, but in doing so they get punished for volunteering.

There is no way around this structure so long as you use a consensus model in whole or part, in dysfunctional groups the people involved either fail to communicate or worse there are members that impose coercive cost by assuming the unproductive roles so no action happens while resources are wasted.

This really is basic stuff covered in your college level intro to communications coursework.

For those wanting to know more about this, you can read more about the roles at the link below.

I really don't get what you mean. HTML and JSON behave essentially the same way in relation to spaces. It's you who seems to be asking for the HTML parsers to apply display logic in the parsing step. And sure, JSON parsers discard whitespace information outside of JSON strings, but that only works because JSON has an explicit string type. In HTML everything is a user-visible string unless it's a tag, so the same logic fundamentally can't be applied.

In fact JSON is the perfect example - if you have multiple spaces or \n in a JSON string and load that into some DOM element with JS at runtime, those spaces will be eaten up just as much by the browser renderer as any spaces that were part of the original HTML. Because, again, HTML and even the DOM don't do any kind of space collapsing; only the browser render step does that, as instructed by CSS.
No mention of the poor pedestrians here. If you aren't in a vehicle, sucks being you I guess.
