> the rebound effect deals with the fact that improvements in efficiency often lead to cost reductions that provide the possibility to buy more of the improved product or other products or services

In the topic discussed here the efficiency gain is how much GHGs can be poured in the atmosphere with moderate consequences
This is not equivalent though so you fail my code review. :D

For starters its clear the code in the example expects self.base.value to already hold a value. So constructing an object blind isn't necessarily what's happening here, it's possible an existing object is even being decorated with extra fields. So your suggestion isn't preserving the semantics.

Secondly for the face cards there is an additional field being set which is not happening in your case.

That's what I mean when I said earlier that we can't just look at a piece of code contextless and say it's bad. Your refactor is definitely neater if we're initializing homogenous objects but that's an incorrect assumption on your part. It also comes with trade-offs for example it's not obvious anymore what any of the values relate to without going to the function constructing the object. Not the biggest thing in the world but if this is the only place in the codebase doing this then I'd argue that it probably isn't worth it.

Do not get hung up on the details of the presentation and if some charts are misleading, address the core argument. Russia perceives NATO expansion as a security threat, that concern is not imaginary given the uncertainty of the future, and the West ignored those concerns which left Putin with essentially no other option than the use of force.

I have to say, and I'm 61 and have always followed the news, I've never seen anything like it. Kind of a Jerry Springer shouting match in the Oval Office. It's a new one on me.

I just watched the video and it was normal until Vance started shouting a bunch of stuff at Zelensky.
I've use Firefox as my tertiary browser option, for some specific uses like for example I have it always have an VPN plugin on. But I'm starting to feel anything in its vicinity should be avoided like hostile malware, regardless if an attempt to remove bad parts of it is made.

A corporation can do a lot of bad stuff with their software and terms, and most have probably normalized that in their mind. But after now Firefox for example implicitly lawfully claims all the google docs you edit as their IP, that should be a bridge too far for anyone using it even slightly professionally. God help if you also use it as a person that Mozilla considers you their political blood enemy (which isn't exactly hard nowadays). Not exactly the Firefox 1.0 release I still remember. Not even as benign as its worst enemy it was built to be against at the time. Truly Dark Knight -esque.
The tray-based design not only permits swapping out the entire characterset, but also sections.

My understanding is that Chinese typewriters typically have a large number of characters in common, but also provide for characters specific to specialised activities, e.g., government, commerce, education, science, technology, and the like, which are addressed in the auxiliary characters used.

Vague recollections from a New Books Network episode some time back. I'm pretty sure it's this episode with Tom Mullaney:

<https://newbooksnetwork.com/006-the-chinese-typewriter-a-his...>

Mullaney is also the basis for several other links provided by others in this thread, particularly <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43212063>.
From Wikipedia. Just as a cliched reminder:

> In 1994, Ukraine agreed to transfer these weapons to Russia for dismantlement and became a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, in exchange for economic compensation and security assurances from Russia, the United States, United Kingdom and France to respect the Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. Years later, Russia, one of the parties to the agreement, invaded Ukraine.

I live in the upper part of India and I suspect I could have been taking forced Chinese lessons right now if a woman, decades ago, who was called a bitch by a US secretary of state, didn't decide to say 'fuck it!' and went ahead with her plans to have our own modest nukes.

Would this world have been better off if no one had nukes? Of course, yes. I do believe so.

Would we (the world; not just India) have been better off with just USA, Russia, France, UK, China having nukes? Fuck no!!!

And I have a foreboding feeling the list is not going to stop with Pakistan, NK, and that undeclared member of this club. Also, I just hope South Africa has no reasons in the future to regret.

And then: I mean - does anyone else not find the very fucking idea of NPT ridiculous? You can't have nukes, we have and we will keep having it? Why? Just because. Come, sign this now. Assurances? Yeah, maybe. What the actual fuck!

Show HN: I made read receipts for file sharing
Hey HN,

I built SendFast (https://sendfast.app) because I was tired of clunky urls, and not knowing when my files are viewed. Google Drive links are long and annoying, WeTransfer has ads and expirations, and most alternatives don’t tell you if someone actually opened your file.

With SendFast:

- You upload and share files up to 32GB
- Get notifications when someone views or downloads your file (no more “Did you get my email?”)
- Recipients don’t need an account & can preview files (images/videos/pdf) instantly without ads
- Links won’t expire as long as you need them [also working on better pricing and guarantees to make sure this extends down to even free-tier]

It’s built for people who send important files (contracts, pitch decks, legal docs, photos, etc.) and want a simple, reliable alternative that doesn’t lock them into a Big Tech ecosystem.

I’m still improving it, so I’d love any feedback. What do you currently use for sharing large files? Any pain points?

Check it out if you're interested!

Both sides do have nuclear weapons. Europe has France.

While there are no European armies in Ukraine, we are not neutral and thus in principle in some way at war with Russia. Presumably this is why our PM here in Sweden has said that we are neither at war nor not at war-- i.e. we're legally at war with Russia, but it's a sort of phony-war á la 1938.

This is the US losing its credibility and the confidence of its allies at a time when the US depends on these alliances.

The Microsoft Graph SDK is the worst piece of shit I ever saw. The ONLY actual good part is the JS SDK. (I know right?!) Aside from the horrible DX, It Is FULL of bugs.

I was tasked with a project where it made sense to use Azure Durable Functions. Again... BUGS ... I reported a couple of them and even went and spoke with the product team about those. One BUG was due to a misunderstanding of how the framework works (in my defense, the documentation was very unclear) and the rest of the bugs are still not fixed almost 2 years later.

I decided to fail the project and restart with a different approach and framework.
AMD did not start with a narrower datapath, even if this is a widespread myth. It only had a narrower path between the inner CPU core and the L1 data cache memory.

The most recent Intel and AMD CPU cores (Lion Cove and Zen 5) have identical vector datapath widths, but for many years, for 256-bit AVX Intel had a narrower datapath than AMD, 768-bit for Intel (3 x 256-bit) vs. 1024-bit for AMD (4 x 256-bit).

Only when executing 512-bit AVX-512 instructions, the vector datapath of Intel was extended to 1024-bit (2 x 512-bit), matching the datapath used by AMD for any vector instructions.

There were only 2 advantages of Intel AVX-512 vs. AMD executing AVX or the initial AVX-512 implementation of Zen 4.

The first was that some Intel CPU models, but only the more expensive SKUs, i.e. most of the Gold and all of the Platinum, had 2 x 512-bit FMA units, while the cheap Intel CPUs and AMD Zen 4 had only one 512-bit FMA unit (but AMD Zen 4 still had 2 x 512-bit FADD units). Therefore Intel could do 2 FMUL or FMA per clock cycle, while Zen 4 could do only 1 FMUL or FMA (+ 1 FADD).

The second was that Intel had a double width link to the L1 cache, so it could do 2 x 512-bit loads + 1 x 512-bit stores per clock cycle, while Zen 4 could do only 1 x 512-bit loads per cycle + 1 x 512-bit stores every other cycle. (In a balanced CPU core design the throughput for vector FMA and for vector loads from the L1 cache must be the same, which is true for both old and new Intel and AMD CPU cores.)

With the exception of vector load/store and FMUL/FMA, Zen 4 had the same or better AVX-512 throughput for most instructions, in comparison with Intel Sapphire Rapids/Emerald Rapids. There were a few instructions with a poor implementation on Zen 4 and a few instructions with a poor implementation on Intel, where either Intel or AMD were significantly better than the other.
The first step I'd recommend is to not use Electron when building a native app.
At my previous company, we lost countless hours troubleshooting a Dockerfile that worked everywhere except on Azure. It used Node 18 as the base image, and the solution ended up being a chown 0:0 on everything inside the container— which took an absurd amount of time during every deployment.
It always strikes me as bizarre that people can "own" land. It existed before you and will exist after you, so how can a short-lived being really "own" it?

It would make so much more sense if land "ownership" was related to whether you live on or work that particular piece of land rather than relying on arbitrary pieces of paper that were mainly decided before any of us were even born.
The game is not rigged towards big players either.

A single person can trade limit orders with almost no transaction cost with enormously deep markets. The modern world has made the markets incredibly inefficient, prone to massive overreactions on basically everything.
I'm still digesting what I've “witnessed” yesterday. I have no words for it, I'm baffled. Time to re-think…
Right now, there are none. The "fiasco" is still about the least bad option available.

Some could become viable in a few years, but I wouldn't count on it to "just happen". You'll still need to actively try to get your specific use cases well-supported for a while, and if not enough people do that these projects will never get there.
Excellent job!
How did you approach the licensing matter, as in order to customise Windows installation media and in order to be compliant with licensing terms one needs to solve (and pay for) this non-trivial puzzle if it can be solved in the first place: https://download.microsoft.com/download/3/d/4/3d42bdc2-6725-... ?

I guess Microsoft has to make money somehow, but it's not funny. And the worst thing is that you somehow have to magically know this.
Lol. I would follow an account like this for something I use a lot. Like C# as a language, Unity, hell, even Chrome. Has the energy of the "Linux Sucks" talks. Usually the undercurrent is that something that can have so many reported faults is something worth having a love-hate relationship with :D

That said, I only use Azure for redundancy. Hosting one app I have there on anything but Azure would be pretty much infinitely cheaper, especially when my IO quota goes above ~1GB a month which with azure causes a need to instantly change to a 20$ plan for the month.
Kind of disappointing if that is the actual stated reason by the various browser vendors, all or nothing doesn't sound like a good policy for this. Surely there is a middle ground possible.

How would your product offer “real-time, undetectable assistance” during a live in-person interview?

> We're exposing the fundamental flaw in traditional interviews: they often measure presentation skills rather than actual job capability.

I understand that helping candidates overcome anxiety can have some benefit. But I would not call personal presentation skills and the broader aspects of personality and communication irrelevant, in the sense that gauging those skills in an interview represents a fundamental flaw. Software projects fail far more often due to personality issues and interpersonal conflict compared to purely technical skill issues.

I suppose a company that has implemented a rote and impersonal interview process deserves to have that process gamed. I would call it cheating and disqualify a candidate who used AI or any undisclosed assistance in an interview.
He's maybe breaking continuity of the US as a whole, but in general he seems to be quite consistent in his actions and motivations. And maybe he's the first president in a long time that actually understands Russia's perspective.

From the last presidents he's the one that started the least wars. I don't understand why people are saying that he's pairing with Russia when he wants to end a war that's been going on for 3 years.
Letting your interests always go last, and letting people who depend on you and have worked against you(remember Zelenski campaigned against Trump), demand things and reproach you in public, is not tact.
The one who lacked tact was Zelenski, not Vance. As Trump said, "You're in no position to dictate what we're gonna feel."

As for aid, the arrogance in assuming the aid was mandatory and failing to give what you want the way you want is wrong and evil, does not endear people to aid you.
And besides, any delays in aid had a much lesser effect than the EU countries buying russian gas at exorbitant prices. The sanctions imposed were immediately sabotaged by buying russian gas.
This sounds a lot like being pro-bully. Also, it sounds like you dont unserstand what saber-rattling is. Putin is the one who is saber rattling. We are helping him pay for it by helping him steal land from Ukraine.
You were buying influence by spending your money on your own military.

But I agree that the EU should never have relied on the US for its own defense, I really hope that will change now.
I should concede that my views of Lacan were heavily shaped by Zizek who kind of leans too heavily on him in hindsight. Lacan is still one of my favorite voices of thought because he doesn't allow any ambiguity, everything is nicely buttoned up within the self such that the outside reality is merely consequence. This makes it easy to frame any idea.

But in terms of my own personal philosophy, I find myself identifying with Schopenhauer, a philosopher I had never heard of in my life before GPT

Generating boring one off analysis scripts is the best use case for AI code writing, so can’t fault them for doing so. For serious projects I found LLMs—even cutting edge Claude Sonnet 3.7 in agent mode—just can’t generate a large amount of code with the level of consistency and quality I expect and fixing such code is barely faster than writing it myself with AI autocomplete. But little scripts that I throw away after a single use? What used to take fifteen minutes or longer now takes thirty seconds.

I don't understand why 2x FMAs in CPU design poses such a challenge when GPUs literally have hundreds of such ALUs? Both operate at similar TDP so where's the catch? Much lower GPU clock frequency?
Genuinely curious here. How does this relate to Putin being captured by Russia/Putin? This, to me, looks like textbook ineptitude not foreign interference.

I want to be clear. I'm not casting doubt on observations that Trump does currently echo Russian talking points. I'm also not trying to argue that he's not captured by Russian interests. I'm merely wondering how this specific piece of information points to that conclusion.
Yep I am collecting my debates and one day I want to organize them with AI face and voices and release them as YouTube videos.
I think that has yet to be demonstrated, frankly.
"An attack has to have very strong reasons, as any attack is very costly, no oligarch would spend money for no reason."

So why did this current attack start? It's been 3 years and there's a dozen theories as to why exactly, there is no "strong reason" anywhere to be seen.

"What could an oligarch possibly gain from starting a war with an allied neighboring country?"

Again, why is Russia in Ukraine then? They went from being brethren to portraying Ukrainians as fascist scum that need to be exterminated. Why is that?

"And why doesn't U.S. attack other NATO members now?"

Because it has more to gain by not doing so.

Again - I really can't see how you can confidently say that if only Russia was let into NATO 30 years ago this current situation wouldn't have happened.
Saying “the quiet part out loud” is kind of a hallmark with this team’s approach though, so watching it steamroll over any auspices of ethical behavior is noteworthy.
Ask HN: A question about mentoring a junior developer
So this is the scenario: I develop a SQL object which is being used by an application developer in an app I haven't seen before. The developer is a junior and it's clear that they have a poor understanding of the use cases they're dealing with, and likely haven't adequately tested their changes. This developer isn't on my team and isn't someone I'm directly responsible for mentoring. The application carries almost no risk if the developer breaks it, we can just revert our changes and no harm done.

My question is: in this scenario what would you do, and why? Do I take the extra step and walk them through the entire testing process pre-emptively, or do I let them own their change and potentially experience the pain of breaking production?

This isn't a critical question for me I'm just curious to get a few takes on it. It's really a question of letting a developer pick up experience the hard way vs not throwing them to the wolves (which can lead to worse outcomes long-term)
