Yeah, the big variables are utility electricity price ($0.10/kWh utility pricing makes solar less effective than $0.50/kWh), price for the panels + installation, and ~capacity factor. If the panels last long enough, and they usually will, as long as the installation is appropriately sized it likely eventually pays for itself. It's just usually longer than two years.

We haven't had anything like a "classical" economy since the second
world war. It's not "dystopian" it's just a tragic waste of human
and natural resources.

""" Forget the idea that "spontaneous utilitarian consumer demand"
drives markets. That mid 20th century 'pull model' passed into the
era of cynical manufacture where successful businesses care not
about what people want (let alone need, or just what might sell) so
much as about what people can be made to want. Genuinely new
inventions able to create wild, fresh markets, like in the golden
age of nonlinear physics between 1940 and 1980, no longer
happen. We've been in an incremental push economy for about 50 years
now. Western capital economies manufacture demand by influence. We
once used market research, but surveillance data now fills that need
to shape markets. """ - from Chindogu [0]

Do you seriously think that marketing opioids to doctors means he's going to be a good communicator with opioid addicts and their street dealers?
From this view it's clear how wasteful ontogeny is. All of that physical and psychological development takes too much valuable time and investment. And we haven't even gotten to Gina's retirement years yet. Clearly the future is in using 3D bioprinting to build fully formed adults as if sprung from the brow of Zeus. Skill and memory transfer are a technical problem only as long as we cling to our bias against our artificially intelligent upgrades. Aging is defeated by implanting our old model weights into a new print. So much efficiency is waiting if we dare to free ourselves from convention.
It's only dialogue I know of where there's a bunch of "next level" AI experiences coming through the pipeline. Generation of responses, translation, text to speech, and finally the movement of the face. Even then it's mostly targeted mostly towards otherwise banal scripted NPC dialogue, not story beat type of thing.

Can't really see much use aside from that or canning whatever the AI generated ahead of time. There's far too much potential for it to be jailbroken or loose track of what it's supposed to be doing.
We moved from Subversion to Git a long time ago, and we’re fine with it. But we’re only 16 users, so I personally can’t speak to how well it works for much larger teams, although I know of course that it’s used by giant teams for giant projects. One of the advantages is that so many people know it. So even if the features and user experience were worse, it could still be the best choice because almost everybody you’ll need to hire will have experience with it.

What I keep meaning to try is Fossil[1], built by the creators of SQLite. (And built on SQLite.) It’s not that we’re looking to replace Git. I’m just curious about the actual hands on experience. Has anybody here actually used it, as opposed to looked at it?

> In the addled, quasi-imperial units of the US, shouldn't this be megawatt*hours?

No, that's actually megawatts. Grid assets are measured primarily by power, because the grid is operated on dispatch of power.

For storage, the storage capacity doesn't matter from the grid side. Grid operators have an ever-changing mix of resources that bid into the market, and select the winning bids, based on their bid price and power amount, for fixed duration dispatch. When the battery operator is out of power, they drop out of bidding.

If for some reason the energy content is your only concern, and an article doesn't mention the energy capacity, multiple the power quantity by 4 hours. That is the median amount of duration at full power for batteries, due to cost-optimal design. The very first few installations on the grid may be smaller, as in only 1-2 hours, because there's a fair amount of power demand at the beginning for frequency regulation, which requires very short duration. But as more gets deployed, frequency regulation is no longer needed, and 4 hours tends to dominate. I've seen a few 6 hour duration installations too, which may make sense depending on the specific local market needs.
I have never seen an SF news publication being truly critical of the politicians that lord over the city and state. These publications will criticize the situation and blame factors, but never individuals and their actions. Never expect accountability from them.
Stolen bases in baseball is similar to this. In 2023, MLB made two rule changes with stealing being at all time lows (and them thinking fans love stolen bases): 1) Limiting the number of pickoff attempts by pitchers, and 2) Slight enlarging of the bases. Take a look at the jump[0].

It's been interesting to follow some changes teams have made the past two seasons where teams are figuring out how to better time steals when a pitch is thrown, and which players to go after. For example, pitchers with slow releases and bad catchers.

Base running aggressiveness that some teams have been doing as well. The value of going 1st to 3rd on a single is massive and getting speed, and judgement and wanting your players to do that will be more and more valued.

I actually searched "base running aggressiveness" to see what articles had to say, and two months ago Statcast put in a new stat called "Net Bases Gained"[1]. Crazy.

This mimics the changes in NBA talked about here, where value in players changes over times when new ways of playing show their value. It's kind of like the 4 minute mile though, where until someone went out and was able to run under 4 minutes / make all those 3s / run that aggressive on the base paths / go for it on more 4th downs, teams are scared to be the first.

You might enjoy “How Not To Study A Disease: The Story of Alzheimer’s” by Karl Herrup (2023, MIT Press). Great sad overview of the hegemony of the Abeta hypothesis that now has a Tau hypothesis buddy.

"But since then people have gotten at least a little bit taller. We developed more ways in which to train and grow our physical strength."

The person who shifted this mindset is one of the smallest players in the the NBA though, would be considered small by the standards of any era of the game. And in fact, the game has shifted to smaller players in general in recent years. It's more of a skill/agility thing.

I do believe technology has played a part though. Being able to 3d scan a player's motion and find mechanics adjustments has proven to be quite powerful.
I work on decarbonising cement production, and the cement producers are betting _heavily_ on carbon capture as their "get out of jail free card".

I think they're likely wrong, but - again - it's not like we can just stop making concrete: all the solar farms, wind farms, dams, and assorted infrastructure that we need to combat climate change will be made with concrete, and there is currently no viable zero carbon alternative.

The grid is the easy bit, and will happen as a result of market forces, but those hard-to-abate sectors are really fricking hard.
Haha I had nearly the same thing happen. First I was like "that sounds like something Jeff Geerling would do". Then I saw the github link and was like "ah yeah Jeff Geerling did do it" and then I saw the username and was like "oh it's Jeff Geerling!"
A better strategy would be to estimate card value based on your starting hand (i.e., probability that each suit is goal suit). It requires some non-trivial combinatorics but I guess if you take the game seriously you just memorize those once. Then you buy cards if the price are lower than your estimate and sell if it is higher. You also should pay a somewhat more for the card that gives you majority (4th/5th).

The updates are in this case, at least assuming others are doing something similar, is to increase expected price if you see sell for higher price and reduce if you see the sell for lower price. To figure out how much to update would be the hard part.
The people doing the bulk of the corruption here in the US just decided to stop even trying to hide it. Why would they hide it at this point? They aren't even worried about the optics anymore, they are sending a clear message imo. There's like a handful of people in high positions who aren't corrupt, and all of the ire is aimed at low level employees. I wish I could say that I didn't know why, but it is pretty clear.

Even then, it seems like this headline is a little sensationalist. But optically, not good. Even then, this is something that everyone should be aware of. It is easy to jump to conclusions, but we should also do our due diligence here to verify these connections. This can end similar to how Bernie Sanders was painted as a health industry "shill" when in reality it was just the way political donations are categorized.

Nurses and such had donated X amount of dollars to his campaign and that was twisted as him taking money from "the healthcare lobby" when in reality he is basically one of the 3 people in government who don't accept super pac and lobbying money, proving that you can indeed survive off of grassroots donations. So we have to be careful here. Optics is not enough to make a conclusion, and people will try to use that against you.

Clearly that justifies it.
These communications were from Trump directly to people, they heard it with their own ears. And you can't even make it out to be a partisan thing because Trump's own experts in the room reacted with visible shock when he made those statements. I think it's fair to say if the President had done his job and let experts do the emergency communicating, no directives approximating "inject yourself with bleach" would have been understood by the general public. And that's why the failure lies with him.

> Miscommunications happen. Now you’ve been corrected. Stop repeating false claims.

I have not repeated this claim. My point is because miscommunications happen, the person in charge should have left it up to experts instead of just riffing, because now his sloppy words will live on forever.
The problem is what one means by "works". Is it just that it runs without triggering exceptions here and there?

One has to know, and understand, what the code is supposed to be doing, to evaluate it. Or use tests.

But LLMs love to lie so they can't be trusted to write the tests, or even to report how the code they wrote passed the tests.

In my experience the way to use LLMs for coding is exactly the opposite: the user should already have very good knowledge of the problem domain as well as the language used, and just needs to have a conversation with someone on how to approach a specific implementation detail (or help with an obscure syntax quirk). Then LLMs can be very useful.

But having them directly output code for things one doesn't know, in a language one doesn't know either, hoping they will magically solve the problem by iterating in "closed loops", will result in chaos.

Yeah Ireland is very EU.

Most of our actions are driven by various emotional and mental deficiencies that we hide in our subconscious. Those deficiencies stem from three roots: pride, egoism and the lack of self worth. The three are really one upon close inspection. Dating scams play on the lack of self worth, a desperate need for external validation to distract the victim from what he sees in himself. A trip to Berlin won't buy you that, but an illusion of a relationship with a top notch woman will. Nearly all people have this problem, rich and poor alike, and you can tell that by how much effort they put into appearances.

Hey this is really cool, I literally had the same idea about a month ago but ultimately decided to not pursue it. Glad someone else did.

A few quick Qs -

1) Do you use the available auto-generated transcripts from youtube? Or do you do any audio parsing? I know transcripts aren't always available.

2) Do you have any plans to monetize in some way, do you think it would be possible? It's definitely a neat product but a tad generic and replicable, so I'm curious.
You know nothing about me or where I come from. You're not making the point you think you are.

You can lead a horse to water. It's not my job to encourage intellectual rigor. It's political leadership's. Pushing that burden onto imaginary everyday philosophers you've conjured up is futile.
Merging works fine, as long as Git knows how to resolve the ancestry. Rebasing breaks that (save for hacks like rerere).
I like and use Rust as a language but if you look at the way the foundation and community manages itself maybe it indeed would be best to keep it out of the kernel if this childish behavior comes with it.
I once got let go from a company, and then, 2 weeks later, they offered to re-hire me. They acted like they were doing me a favor, boasting that they'd even pay me the same salary. I declined, as I was planning on quitting anyway. Then, a few days later they sent me a threatening letter, claiming I stole company proprietary data, and they were gonna report the situation to the district attorney if I didn't contact them. I didn't respond and never heard from them again. I heard from former colleagues that no one knew the admin passwords for their critical systems except me. That's true. I told management, over and over, that the whole sysadmin operation revolved around me, which was doomed to fail. That's actually why I was planning on quitting. Oh yeah, when they let me go, I offered to stay on for a short time to cascade to whoever was gonna replace me. They declined and rushed me out the door.

I'm not a huge fan of Jacobson's behavior, and he has made some mistakes, but he's also been very very right on a lot of things.

And while a single paper is a lot more reliable than a single person writing an editorial on an MIT site, it is still a single paper and must be taken as a pointer towards the truth, rather than truth revealed.
I don't know, but the parent's link article says:

>"I spent 20 years in the Navy, most of it in the hot spots, like the engine rooms of ships—110 degrees is nothing on a ship," he says.
That environment may have caused an increase in heat shock proteins, which were able to limit the spread of tau and prevent the onset of Alzheimer's.
The scientists studying Whitney aren't sure if that's all, or even part, of the explanation. But they are hoping that the paper on Whitney will encourage other researchers to look for answers.

If that was true then it wouldn't make sense to drop from 65% to 50%. Also the personnel they train need hardware and ammunition for training. It's a complex problem I'm sure, but the war has played a role here for sure.
While most of what you say correlates, there are other gotchas: moving around a 3pt line leaves a lot more space for defenders to cover, and the real innovation is introducing multiple staggered blocks to open up a 3pt shooter (as a development of pick-and-pop). And moving around an even farther imaginary line at like 40ft from basket and making ~35% of those shots.

So it really is impossible to cover a more than 33% shooter all around the court, and that equates to a better than 50% 2pt shooter.

To be fair, that also could be because the pandas API is…not great. When I used to write lots of python and pandas I basically always had the pandas docs open intuitive and memorable it is not.
Elevated heat shock proteins actually makes good sense as a reason. We should check ClinicalTrials.gov using the key words: Alzheimer and “heat shock protein”.

I just tried anf found a total of 130 trials using Heat shock proteins 70 or 90 (HSP70 and HSP90) and with very few exceptions they are all cancer trials.

It's been widely understood since the 1970s, if not longer, that opioids have a high potential for addiction and that long term use tends to be harmful. Sure, he seems to have been quite a junior employee, but I knew opioids were a high risk category of drugs when I was in high school. I don't think he's the worst guy in the world, but I do think McKinsey style consulting and this experience in particular is a net negative.

I can't speak for go, but I've seen beginners get an edge in other strategy games by playing a very unusual strategy. The trouble is, it doesn't tend to last - it turns out either that their strategy really is weak, or that it's viable but they don't have the ability to follow up on the early edge they gained. I can imagine a similar thing might happen with sports strategy.
According to this it would be the opposite: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28687259/

So maybe Sauna is good, but where Sauna is popular is usually a place that is very cold and humid, which is not good.

I play and watch a lot of basketball and this article seems to be written by someone who doesn't do either.

The idea that players are more specialized is wrong. In the 90s there were plenty of defense-only players like Denis Rodman and Ben Wallace; they might not start in today's NBA, let alone make all-star teams, because they are too one-dimensional.

A good counter to these arguments is made on the Thinking Basketball podcast. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fp4but75EjY
Ask HN: How to Handle a Competitor Smearing My App Online?
Hello HN,

I launched my first app about a year ago, and it has gained traction. Naturally, competitors emerged—some with unique features, others copying mine—which I expected and don’t mind.

However, one competitor is actively trying to damage my app’s reputation across various platforms (Discord, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, etc.). They leave negative comments, report my users as spam (resulting in some getting blocked), and generally try to discourage people from using my app.

I don’t want to get caught up in drama—I’d rather focus on improving my app—but I’m unsure how to handle this situation effectively. Has anyone dealt with something similar? Any advice on how to address it without getting distracted from product development?

Thanks in advance
A version control system always needs to consider both, to some extent.

The difference is in which is the primary source of truth, and which is calculated when required (and then thrown away).
