The issue is actually that DC voltage conversion is much harder than AC, because AC can use transformers, and DC can’t.

This is especially a problem at high voltages and currents.

Also, DC arcs don’t self extinguish as well as AC arcs do, so DC arcs are a lot more dangerous and destructive.

It’s why HVDC lines are still relatively rare (and capital expensive), and typically used for long haul or under salt water, where the inductive loss from AC would cost more than the higher capital costs required for DC voltage conversion and stability.
Quite the opposite. If you “pester” for something, they’ll explicitly reject it.
Have you used the app Pleco?

That app has been invaluable as someone learning Chinese.

that app breaks down mandarin sentences into individual characters. I believe it’s made by a Taiwanese developer too.

I tried your app with a few sentences and it works really well!
This seems like black and white thinking. There's a huge spectrum between

> "suck it up, buttercup" or "I hear you; rust is gone".

where various levels of compromise happens.

Maintainers are people and people can change their mind over time. If rust was a huge success in large parts of the kernel and you still had a few holdouts, sure, you could tell them to adapt or go away. In this early stage, it's kinda up to rust people to show that both they and rust can work in this setting

Also inductive losses, which are only a thing in AC.
It would have worked if we didn’t find out the hard way a lot of social media and alternative news outlets weren’t even scummier.

We need good journalism courses with heavy emphasis on ethics and the importance of journalism to democracy.

We also need a way to punish entertainment that passes as journalism (maybe fewer legal protections) and to incentive actual journalism (and find a decent way to distinguish between the two).

The silver lining of all this is that your local vscode instance becomes more of a thin client, with the heavy lifting being done by the remote instance. It's perfect for the "small laptop ssh'd into beefy workstation" use-case, but less so for the "beefy workstation ssh'd into tiny VM/VPS".

If you're doing the latter, I'd recommend using sshfs or some other remote-fs-mount setup, and opening the mounted directory in vscode normally.
Nah, what’s the point of living then anyway? It’s sounds smart but if you look past it you realize it’s just nihilistic.

That's easy. Still waiting for dang post on that though.
One additional thing of note is that it was the police and their expert witness that decided which deaths were “suspicious” vs “non suspicious”.

Without the categorisation of deaths being suspicious/non suspicious, Letby was on shift for 40% of the deaths (approximately what you would expect, she worked 35% of the week).

It was the police with the expert witness that then selected which deaths were suspicious, and they did this non-blind (ie the expert looked at the case notes, could see if Letby was on shift, and then made an evaluation on if it was suspicious or not).

After this categorisation, Letby was present at 100% of the suspicious deaths (and none of the non-suspicious deaths)
Show HN: CLY Pixel – Get your year overview in pixels
Hey HN!

I built CLY Pixel, a simple and fun way to track your daily habits, mood, and activities using a pixel grid. Each day is a tap, and by the end of the year, you get a unique, colorful visualization of your life.

Features:

1. Yearly Visualization – 365 days in a grid with multiple themes (standard, heart-shaped, etc.).

2. Custom Colors & Themes – Personalize your tracker to make it uniquely yours.

3. Multiple Trackers – Log different aspects like exercise, mood, or learning.

4. Privacy First – All data stays on your device, no tracking at all.

Would love feedback and suggestions! Let me know what you think.
I've been using it for 15+ years and somehow never noticed that.
> That is application dependent. If you’re coding a roulette wheel no, if you’re coding an E2E chat yes.

Or a prominent example are games.

The whole idea of sharing "cool minecraft worlds" or "seeds for cool runs in Balatro/Slay the Spire/..." are possible due to careful use of PRNGs in those games for world generation.

In fact, games often run at least 2 RNGs and possibly more in a multiplayer setting involving networking and encryption of that. You want some kind of "World Generation seed", which is usually a PRNG players can enter funny seeds like "CAFEBABE" into to share worlds. However, you want to protect this PRNG, because otherwise player action changes the world generation.

So you end up with more RNGs of some kind, for example for AI actions, particle movements. And depending on how these RNGs are used, you might link different subsystems together, allowing AI manipulation and such. It's a very interesting thing to think about and design.
I think you’re basically right: it’s not a security problem in that it doesn’t inherently traverse any vulnerabilities or security boundaries.

But it is a security problem in the same way that “curl | bash” is a security problem. An even closer equivalence might be something like “curl | bash” in your bashrc.

There have been a pile of dang posts on this, several people have linked them.
Ah, now I think I see the misunderstanding. When I said "equivalents" I mean that these are the standard library sorts, and so I was comparing against the standard library sorts in the three popular C++ implementations.

You're correct that if you implemented these algorithms carefully in C++ you can expect very similar results. I don't believe that anybody has done that and certainly there is no sign the three major implementations would attempt to switch to these algorithms for their standard library sorts.

In Rust today the standard library sorts provided are further refinements of the "ipnsort" and "glidesort" algorithms described in the paper you linked. As the papers arguing to use these algorithms point out, the downside is that although they've been tested extensively with available tools we can't actually prove they're even safe, the upside is of course performance.
I'm certainly not an extreme HN old timer, but I've been visiting for a fair number of years and I've seen this sort of complaint since I started, while article quality doesn't seem to have gone down noticeably. In fact, the site rules even caution against complaining that HN is "becoming Reddit", which is essentially the old version of this comment. The fact is that, even here, there will always be a few poor quality articles that slip through.

BTW, pointing out that a particular article is poor, like qeternity's comment, is worthwhile. It's just comments that complain all of HN is going downhill that are tiresome.
Power infrastructure, climate change and OpenStreetMap
Some of it is because of redundancy (ie, multiple posts on the same topic), but a lot of it is an immediate reaction to anything negative about Elon Musk. This means that posts that can't overcome that reaction with vouches or a mod stepping in end up dying quickly. There's a few people that will argue that 'there's nothing to really do or discuss about it, ergo it should be flagged' but plenty of other topics along those same lines reach the front page. Usually stuff along the line of other culture war topics.

For example of stuff flagged on reaction, this post [1] (AI Startup School with Elon Musk, by ycombinator) was flagged for a long period of time and only recently got out of being flag-killed. A better example is this post by Krebs [2] which went deep into the history of one of the highlighted members of DOGE, their connection to cybercrime and more despite being well researched.

I think the way to describe it is that tech is going through the same political fracturing and reckoning as the rest of society. As hard as tech has tried to put on the facade of being apolitical, when you've got ycombinator inviting Elon Musk for talks or pg talking about the dangers of woke it was inevitable for HN to become more and more political over time.

Let me make sure I understood this correctly. Author from reddit formed his opinion based on "examining the Nature article more carefully"?
And none of those is “the simple case” I alluded to. The vast majority of businesses need, perhaps, email, file sharing, instant messaging and, perhaps, a website. They won’t train their own ML models, nor have parallel sysplexes of mainframes spread across multiple datacenters.

I agree that many engineering orgs did not give boot camps proper chance, but I do think it is important to be realistic regarding them. Generally speaking, Someone coming with a computer science degree is going to be a lot more well-rounded with much more breath and depth then someone coming from a boot camp.

It's not really a great comparison though in my experience. Typically, a good boot camp graduate will come away with a better ability to build real apps, but has a serious lacking in understanding algorithms, OS fundamentals, and many other things That important for Back-End development, especially.

I'm not sure what the solution is to the junior engineer crisis, but I don't think the solution is boot camps. Those have a great place, but if anything a junior coming from a boot camp is generally even more Junior than a junior coming from a computer science degree.

My hypothesis is that The computer science degree route is what will be most useful for juniors in the future. In a world where AI can do the basic coding and build the apps, I see the qualities in appreciating overall design and architecture, especially with regards to scalability. There could definitely be boot camps that teach that sort of stuff, but I am not aware of any that exists currently.
I look forward to the rapid response of the new Health and Human Services secretary on this crisis.

If you're gonna lead a group of people effectively, you kinda have to listen to them. leading by decree works occasionally, but you can't afford to do it often.

If there's a lot of people sceptical to rust, doing a limited experiment is one way to figure out if it's going to work. Rust people working in the kernel should act accordingly. Drama like this is not helpful
Saying "I do not trust you, so I'm going to stonewall your entire work with which you could have built that trust" is not viable either.

Besides, none of this was said. Hellwig did not say "I do not trust you enough". He said "you are cancer, go away". First is harsh, but at least somewhat reasonable (in the sense that it _can be reasoned with_); second is not reasonable at all. Your interpretation is excessively charitable to an obvious bad-faith actor.
It's certainly AI-generated garbage. But it seems to have slipped from first place to 20th in the time it took to read your comment. If it was ranked up by bots, and say 50 fake accounts, they mistimed the velocity.
> The management do not want to risk investing in someone junior, lest they become senior and move to a different company.

Agreed, but this is a legitimate concern. In fact, it's almost a guarantee in my experience. The vast majority of people, myself included, do not stay at the same company long-term anymore. I mostly blame The company's ridiculous HR policies around salaries and promotions. For this. They have built a system in which if you want a promotion or raise you typically have to leave the company. However, that does not change the reality that most Juniors will not stick around long enough to become seniors.

I don't know what the solution is, but we definitely need one.
> Because living in apartments sucks

This depends on a) what you want, and b) the apartment. If you want a garden, then an apartment is a non-starter, obviously. Also if you care about what the exterior of the building looks like that you'll want a house. But other than it doesn't make much difference.

The main difference for me is insulation from your neighbours. I've lived in good apartments and bad ones. The best ones you simply forget that you even have neighbours. The worst ones you can't forget because you can hear their conversations and them locking doors etc. The trouble is it's hard to tell what it's going to be like before you move in and this isn't the kind of thing that has standards or that anyone seems to think about. So for someone sensitive to noise, but also likes to make a lot of noise (I'm a musician), I'm resigned to living in a house too. But I'm not sure it has to be this way.
Why not move the points too? It's such a huge difference!
Have emailed dang to see if he'll unflag it.

Agreed, previously I was amenable to the "they're young and smart" (but I'd counter with "not wise") take, but no, some of these people are just actually evil.

Very much agree with this. When I am looking at recently graduated candidates, I look for things they have actually built. When they have Open source projects on GitHub, that is incredible. Just throwing any crap up. There isn't sufficient though. Just throwing your school assignments up. There doesn't count either.

My best advice is start writing code to solve problems in your own life. Basically write apps to solve your own problem. A great example currently on hn is an expense tracker. That sort of stuff is great because you can showcase your front end and back-end skills, along with design and refinement. Then maintain that project for a while to show a history, which demonstrates your skill of maintenance. That sort of thing Will get you hired by me as a junior in a heartbeat.

What is kind of interesting is that the script itself (a single Perl CGI script) has survived the passage of time better than the text documenting it.

Besides all the broken links, the text refers throughout to Big-5 encoding, and the form at https://all-day-breakfast.com/chinese/big5-simple.html has a warning that the popups only work in Netscape or MSIE 4. You can now ignore all of that because browsers are more encoding aware (it still uses Big-5 internally but you can paste in Unicode) and the popups work anywhere.

These (mass surveillance) programs go back to 60s, and it was already prevalent before internet was widespread, also internet was also under blanket surveillance way before. Moreover, this is not only limited to internet per se. Phone calls and any form of unencrypted communications are probably actively monitored for signals intelligence. We're not seeing laws related to this, because mechanisms are probably already in place.

So, I'm keeping my stance of "They want their tools back, because they had them before".
It is against their TOS :)

Article quality has IMO gone down considerably in the last 2-3 years ever since LLMs became a thing. Probably not because LLM articles are upvoted by humans, but more likely because it's much easier to create and manage realistic bot fake accounts with LLMs.

We're at a point where it's impossible to tell which users are bots and which are human by looking at their comments.

It seems there's a strong nostalgia for systems around the time the internet was still nascent, like the Slack client for Windows 95.

I'm still baffled we could run ICQ on 16MB of RAM (maybe I had 64MB later on?) while multi-tasking with a browser and mail client, while each activity would consume around 1GB each on modern machines, except perhaps for some mail clients that are still running native code.

And yes we got a lot more stuff in return like images and video, and I don't miss the noise of my HDD caching at every little PhotoShop edit I do, but when I read that Hotline could run on 10MB of RAM I'm really questioning what we're doing nowadays.

Yes. These are not comparable political systems. In the US, the information you share can be accessed by law enforcement with the approval of a judge if there's a crime suspected. But in cases where the government improperly accesses your data, they actually destroy their own case against you, because anything from that poisoned tree of evidence can be thrown out in court. Even when governmental power is abused in the US, it is nothing like the routine surveillance and suppression that chills free thought and speech in a totalitarian dictatorship like China.
If Apple sticks to their guns, they can just stop doing business in the UK. And the UK government will have zero rights to demand anything from Apple.

Brexit was the tipping point. The “right wing” Tory party in power was progressive - gay marriage for example. This fell apart when the U.K. said it wanted more right wing and kicked out the Liberal Democrat’s. The leader of the Tories - Cameron - had to then rely on the right wing minority of his party and compromised with a referendum. This was lost by 4 percent and that was everything needed for 5 years of chaos, which then doubled down with the most statist intervention in centuries with covid.

Since Brexit immigration has ballooned, and those immigrating are no longer culturally similar Europeans but instead from outside Europe. This difference is whipped up by elements of the printed press and especially social media. Throw in a dose of American cultural imperialism leading to their problems infecting the U.K through increased communication (again social media, but more YouTube than Facebook in this case) and you have a lot of angry people.

Meanwhile the economy which suffered heavily from the response to 2008 was pounded by the double whammy of Brexit and Covid. Throw in a housing crisis that’s lasted nearly 20 years and you get a disastrous corpse.
