PV energy capability per unit surface area is low enough that it's impractical for large-scale propulsion.

Marine PV has seen use on pleasure craft (particularly sailboats) for auxiliary power needs (electronics, nav, lighting, pumps, light cooking/heating), and for drone craft (there was a startup out of Alameda, CA, producing what seemed to be aimed as US Naval marine survey craft a few years ago, largely wind-powered but with electronics and back-up propulsion powered by solar arrays, see: <https://newatlas.com/marine/72-ft-autonomous-saildrone-map-s...>.

Wind-capture remains the most viable alternative to fuel-based marine transport, and "windjammers" remained in commercial operation through the 1950s particularly on very-long-haul routes, though ultimately even that niche was captured by oil-powered propulsion. See: <https://omeka2.hrvh.org/exhibits/show/a-new-age-of-sail/last...>.

Containerisation probably accelerated and/or solidified that decline as this permitted not only far more efficient loading and unloading, but requires clear decks and permits vastly larger ships and concommitantly greater crew efficiencies (crewing is almost entirely independent of ship size and capacity, so a larger and faster ship (factors which also trend together given hull speed and its relationship to length) is virtually always vastly more efficient than a smaller one, despite possibly greater total fuel consumption. Fuel use itself per unit cargo is also lower for larger shipping.

Current ship-size constraints are largely determined by harbour and canal dimensions (hence ship dimensions defined by <location>max, e.g., Panamax, Suezmax, Chinamax, Batimax (Baltic Sea, not Baltimore Harbour), etc. I'm fond of the designation "Handy Size", which calls to mind "fun sized" though I'm told there's little relation. Maximum length capable of sustaining large seas (waves) without keel breakage is another marine engineering consideration which has limited ships to ~1,200 ft / 660m maximum length. At larger sizes ships are simply too susceptible to coming apart in heavy conditions.

Ships in general are constrained by the smallest viable dimensions of a port of call or route, and larger ships have fewer viable available ports or routes, though the busiest of such tend also to favour larger hull dimensions.

Not really, but in the days before open source was as accepted as today, many large companies had policies against using open source. I was working as a consultant at a Fortune 500 and was starting a new project. I wanted to use Java Spring for dependency injection and its other features. InfoSec said NO.

So I billed them for the next 3 months to write a Spring IOC clone, doing exactly the same thing to use on the project.
Trump is just completely ignoring the conflict. All negotiations in Riad were about normalising US-Russia relationship. Ukraine was barely mentioned.

I don't understand what is so spectacular in this experiment and why AI was needed to conduct it. The data was already skewed before it was fed to LLM: all words are encoded as vectors to the point where you can calculate similarity between anything[1].

Congratulations! I've been working on a browser-based MMORPG inspired by OSRS (https://news.reconquer.online/)

Not having infinite tape is true for all computers though. And probably also not infinite time as well.
You misinterpret - I am not saying that what you experienced was technically impossible (you saw a URL, later recreating a valid URL at least partially), but that your interpretation of what happened is neither practical nor possible in the general case, nor is it necessary. Let's try with an example:

You see a poster. "Samsung Galaxy, for real this time. Tune in on 1st of April to watch the ceremony live where we subjugate the last planet in the Milkyway.".

Scenario 1: The poster has a QR code, and a URL: https://events.samsung.com/press-room/world-domination. You memorize the hostname (events, samsung, com), and half a day later you manage to pull up a page for events, select the intended one, and get to the live feed.

Scenario 2: The poster has a QR code, no URL. You memorize "samsung galaxy", or "samsung event", or even just "samsung", and half a day layter you type this into your browser's address bar, which gives you as the first result the live feed you were looking for, or at the very least to samsung's event page.

"memorizable URLs" is not human-readable information, but computer-readable information constructed with certain rules to mimic human-readable information - e.g., the company name mangled to fit URL syntax. The original, unmangled information is easier to remember.
Is starting it without consent the same thing? When they realized I was doing it they were not happy but I kept it secret for about half the dev time.

In the end what triggered management was the word "refactor". Management has issues with anything that is associated with mistakes, so our Jira doesn't have "bug" tickets and teams that rollback releases have harder times scheduling subsequent releases and additional red tape to navigate.

I understand there will be teams that are just punching the clock who don't care about or learn from mistakes, but this doesn't feel like the norm in this industry to me. I suspect that the replaceable cog mentality of management brings some generalization about labor as being all highschool burger flippers regardless of the industry or product.

Regardless, knowing what spin will trigger management and avoiding it is better than doing it on the DL IMO. If management is aware but unclear on what the details are they will at least allocate time to your effort.

How is it roguelike?
> Yes, but then they are not offering a ride that is better than a ride in a private car.

Oh, I missed that point. I mean, personally I'd say that any bus offers a better ride than driving a car, in that you do not have to _drive_ the thing, but tastes differ, of course.

Ideally most urban bus routes would be short enough that healthy people can comfortably use them without sitting.

Realistically, the costs of operating a bus are pretty fixed, and bus networks have hard space-based caps on capacity (as I mention elsewhere stops in particular are a problem), so the priority will always be on getting as many people in the space as possible. It's hard to see why any public transport authority would do seating-only urban buses; it would degrade the system as a whole, and the ticket price would be unreasonably high.

Most people, also, will care more about "can I actually get on the bus for my 20 minute journey" than "if I get on, will I have a comfy seat", which tends to indicate a mostly-standing design with seating available for elderly and disabled people.

As an example, take my local system. Dublin's main bus system has about 1,300 buses in operation; almost all of these are double-deckers with a capacity of 90-100 people. The system is pretty much limited by availability of drivers. Fares are 2 euro for a 90 minute journey (or where the last leg of the journey is started within 90 minutes of the first one). Adopting your system, we'd need five times as many buses, so for a start we'd need 6,500 buses, along with maybe 15,000 drivers and another 5,000 or so support staff. It's hard to see how that could happen without dramatically increasing the cost. But also, at peak times, major bus corridors are full of buses, and major bus stops have buses queueing up. It would simply not be reasonable to 5x this.
I don't know how I'm going to implement it but seems pretty interesting flow.

And I don't get why, it seems to me quite self evident that you yourself can experience reduced-consciousness states, be it being half-asleep or quite drunk.
Nope, I'll accept aggregated data showing how the money is shared between charities and how these charities lean between partisan lines.

You're the one making the claim, if so you had to have access to this data to make such claims and I would like to see it. If you have access to this data then it's much easier that you share it so we both have a common ground to develop from instead of forcing me to go look for it without even knowing where you are getting it from.

You are burdening me for no reason, it's either you don't have such data and are making claims based on something else or just attempting to make me waste time.

Share the data and sources so we have a common ground, otherwise your argument can be considered bullshit. I won't be wasting time to debunk bullshit, as the corollary goes it will take me at least 10x the effort to debunk it than you spewing it.
>>You will spend non-trivial amount of your time, energy and money just to keep it up

To up keep your home! You also pretty much up keep your rented home too. And at the end you spend to maintain other people's home.

>>Is that really how you want to spend some part of your me-time?

Most of the times its not that bad, you talk like you are on-call 24x7 throughout the year.

>>You are also locking yourself down at very specific place which may be a craphole in a decade, without good jobs around etc.

That's called stability, and that brings wealth and happiness. Honestly people look down upon these things, people use wrong words(lifer, coaster etc) to put down stability. In reality stability, with a predictable schedule is one of the best things that you do to your health, and overall life stability/happiness.

>>Also it will in normal cases vacuum your savings, degrading quality and fun in life in (at least) initial years after purchase - those are often the best years of one's remaining life.

This is mostly an assumption, in my experience the exact opposite is true.

>>People tend to look back with rosy glasses on the past, highlighting positives and shrinking negatives, thats basic psychology of each of us. Looking back at period of ownership people mostly look at money made, not all that stress and time with just keeping some property in same state.

Its always a bad idea to make any investment today, and you feel deep regret to have not made an investment 20 years back. Im not talking about real estate in specific, but even things like education, or exercise, look pointless and something you can do without today, but you wish you had done more or atleast started decades back.

>>Middle grounds are apartments, very little maintenance compared to house&land, much lower costs, but also less privacy and less feeling of 'in my own'.

You don't even own walls in a apartment, its like the worst of all the worlds.
Pretty interesting game, never heard about it. Thanks for sharing.
> The implementations cannot be understood unless you actually prove them correct

I quickly scanned the book you provided, but I couldn't find an explanation.

What do you mean by 'understood'?
It's interesting you write this. I have a long experience and I use these auto complete on drugs now... I can't see myself writing all the damn code myself anymore.

I remember the days of using books, having to follow the code bits in the book as I typed them. I don't remember diddly squat about it. Same from years of stack overflow. I'd just alt-tab 12 times, read the comments, then read another answer, assess the best answer. Massive waste of time.

Use all the technology you have at your hands I say. But be sure to understand what you auto-completed. If not, stop and learn.
I agree, but I'll add that you can still use a standalone LLM window as a "teacher". If you don't know how to do something, ask it how to do it, and make it explain every piece of what's going on so you truly absorb it. But don't let it write the code FOR you, you should implement it yourself.
> this one guy wants to come back home from a concert at 2AM

Night buses are a thing. A city / urban area large enough to have concerts at 2AM should be able to support a set of them running one or two per hour with a 15 minutes’ walk to the closest stop. (There’s a tradeoff between convenience and empty buses, and night buses are there more to make sure nobody gets stuck.)
Might implement this feature.

I think they meant "subsets of cultures", not "lower cultures".
Except the "comically" part (what does even mean? I'd call it "sad" if anything) I agree with you. You had (1) strong marketing and (2) lack of choice on one side, and a few tech folks that were expressing their concerns on this for years, except that the public at large didn't care - or didn't have much choice (e.g. when you buy a vacuum cleaner).

I hope this whole row will make people just a bit more aware. But it's hard to say how much it will help. An average person is powerless when seeing "Connect to Wi-Fi to complete setup" on their screen - whether it's their new TV set or a new laptop.

Curious to try this as most other tools have fairly stingy free tiers where you basically have one good interaction and boom, now you have to pay.

Show HN: Protostar – A CLI Prototyping Tool
I am a UX designer who has been asked to help design a CLI. Looking for tools to quickly prototype a CLI that could also be easily shared with colleagues or used for user testing, I couldn't find anything. The only option I could think of was to code something from scratch using one of the existing CLI libraries.

To make designing, prototyping and user testing CLIs easier for me in the future, and hopefully to help other designers who are not as comfortable with coding, I have developed this CLI prototyping tool.

I would be very interested to hear if this tool would be useful to other people here and if there is anything I could improve about it! :)
I think this is not a good idea or suggestion at all.

If i use google maps to find my way around, i'm faster by a lot. I also do remember things despite google maps doing the work for me.

Use Code assistent as much as possible but make sure to read and understand what you get and try to write it yourself even if you just write it from a second window.

But that's IMO exactly what your parent commenter says. Use LLMs only after you actually have a clue what are they producing. So if you are a beginner, basically don't because you'll not have any understanding.
Ye you probably want to get grip on the fundamentals. My old college still have the students write some programs by hand with paper and pencil on exams to enforce this.

But, exercise pressure in courses will probably increase to recalibrate for the difficulty level. I feel LLMs would make you make assignments so much faster I don't think you can not use it.

It's not as if an experimental label would keep Google from deploying something. We all know their lack of software testing.
This is bad advice to people with the correct posture.

If you want to learn: don't use these models to do the things for you. Do use these models to learn.

LLMs might not the best teachers in the world but they're available right there and then when you have a question. Don't take their answers for granted and test them. Ask to teach you the correct terms for things you don't know yet, so you can ask better questions.

There has never been a better time to learn. You don't have to learn in the same way your predecessors did. You can learn faster and better, but must be vigilant you're not fooling yourself.

I tend to agree. But will extend beyond computer science students and say especially people who are self-learning. When I was getting started, I actively tried to minimize the number of packages, and abstraction tools I used. Consequentially, I was able to properly and deeply understand how things worked. Only once I was able to really explain, and use a tool, would I accept an automated solution for it.

On the flip side, I've now found that getting AI to kick the tires on something I'm not super well versed in, helps me figure out how it works. But that's only because I understand how other things work.

If you're going to use AI in your learning, I think the best way you can do that is ask it to give you an example, or an incomplete implementation. Then you can learn in bits while still getting things done.
The thing is, ISBNs map to:

- publisher
- assigned title
- (roughly) order of publication

That's all that they communicate --- there is no hierarchy here to aid in discovery or to organize the content (and further complicating things, the same text may appear multiple times in a different binding --- a differentiation which is immaterial to an e-book).

The elephant in the room of course is the matter that "Anna's Archive" is not a legitimate book repository, but a piracy site, so what they are showcasing is how compleat (and brazen) their theft (and attendant lack of compensation) is.

This would be far more interesting if it were based on an hierarchical system such as LoC, and instead afforded an interface for accessing legitimately available books as are available from https://www.gutenberg.org/ or listed at: http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/ or worked on at: https://www.wikibooks.org/
Middle out or something?
