Because fuel costs only matter so much. You will still need exactly the same number of natural gas (or similar) plants with 12 hours of battery vs. 1 hour to cover seasonal events in most places on the planet. Until your battery backup can supply a week or more worth of power you have simply created an inevitable disaster in the making.

No one is building a natural gas plant to staff it and let it sit idle for 95% of the time. The natural gas burned is only a fraction of its input costs.

Battery storage is headed in the right direction but the fact almost all articles on the subject can’t even get the units correct as it would betray how ridiculously small the deployments actually are is quite telling in itself.

The grifting are those pretending magic natural gas backing plants are going to pop up out of nowhere and not including that capital or maintenance expense when quoting intermittent power source costs.

Right now those sources have been able to cherry pick the cheap and easy problems to solve since they’ve been using someone else’s power when they can’t meet demand. Eventually you run out of it though.

Cheap intermittent sources have their place, and should be used maximally wherever possible. For example every watt of hydro production should have a watt of solar or wind built on top of it. Store the water for when the intermittent sources can’t keep up with demand.
I deliberately rented a Kia Niro EV on my last work trip for the novelty of driving an electric car since probably 2016. I even insisted when they tried to switch me to another vehicle.

Boy, it sucked. Even with a Type 2 charger at work, and maybe 2 miles between the office and my hotel, charging was a huge hassle. And with an ICE vehicle I can refuel before dropping it back off at the airport in about 5 minutes. It's just not practical to recharge my EV after driving 1.5 hours to catch my flight.

The only other noteworthy experience was making an adjustment in a parking space and having 2 or 3 alarms going off concurrently without any indication of what they meant. (Excluding the proximity sensor, if memory serves.)

Liked this more than expected. Here's my possible use case.

In a work setting I am constantly juggling between excel,PowerPoint,word and bunch of online wiki style tools

When I have to craft something that requires information from these tools, like many, I end up creating a PowerPoint presentation.

Gets the job done but never feels ideal given the one way directional nature of it, yes you can hyperlink but gets messy for audience.

This style of navigation could help especially where you are layering the information across multiple themes (each theme say is a node). As audience you might go deep into one node quickly then zoom back out to understand how that node interacts with another.

> Inflation is the only thing voters care about to a very accurate first approximation.

And yet there always seems to be a stark contrast between what conservatives state they voted for versus what studies bear out in that regard. Basically every election in my politically aware history has come down to "the economy" and yet conservatives can see all time highs across many metrics and decry something as a "bad economy" and immediately switch positions as soon as their guy is elected even though nothing material has changed around the economy. Just like it was never about the price of eggs in the latest election. The price of eggs is just the most politically correct thing they could latch onto to justify their votes. All talk of egg prices went silent despite the price of eggs continuing to rise. It's almost like something else was the primary issue all along.

$300k income, MFJ, $46k 401k contribution, $8k HSA contribution

After standard deduction ($29k), AGI is about $217k. That's the 24% bracket (barely), which adds up to $34,337 + 0.24*$16000 ~= $38,200 federal income tax

$38,200/$300k = 12.7%

You can get even lower with itemized deductions: mortgage interest (might be over $40k) plus SALT ($10k) plus a few donations ($5k) => AGI of $191k => federal tax rate of under 11%

Of course, this is just federal income tax. Most people also pay FICA (medicare+social security) and state and local tax.

> Current administration is fast tracking nuclear prolifiacian.

This is correct. Gone are the days when countries could count on the US to provide some protection against illegal invasions. All nations without nukes have to be considering them seriously now. Sure, they signed the NPT. But agreements no longer mean what they used to. Russia violates most of the agreements it signs. US already trashed the Budapest memorandum that it signed in 1996. We were supposed to provide security to Ukraine in exchange for them giving up nukes.

You can see Kagi's details on what counts as a search here:

I log into Kagi but usually don't have it as my default engine. I can search with DuckDuckGo or Google and then only jump over to Kagi with a bang when I really need to, which helps preserve my limited searches. While Kagi doesn't count bang searches, which could let me use it as a default, I'm an idiot and will forget/mistype, which causes an accidental usage.

I also found Kagi's snaps very useful, but being able to use them with other engines means I don't have to burn a Kagi search just to use them.

It seems unlikely to me that TSMC is both going to spend 100B on their own US operations and however many billions it would cost to acquire Intel's foundry division and set it up for TSMCs process. Though those rumours never made sense to me in the first place.

Seems more likely that the Trump admin was pressuring them to possibly invest in Intel, acquisition was briefly considered and instead this compromise of expanding their own US operations was chosen.

I expect INTC to retract back towards $18-19 from this news. Recent rally was largely based on hopium surrounding either TSMC investment/partnership or Broadcom/TSMC breakup and acquisition. Probably this kills the Broadcom deal as well. If I were Intel, I wouldn't wanna sell off the more successful chip design division if I couldn't also sell off the floundering foundry.

I hate Win11. It is horrible, but the first few points don't really make sense. I use it in 2 environments.
- enterprise version: no bloatware, no ads, and edge is there but never has to be used for anything
- professional version: bloatware is uninstalled in like 2min after OS install, another 2min later all ads are disabled. And it usually stays like that after updates too. Edge is never used at all.

Windows architecture is great. the WinAPI is better documented and more comprehensive than anything on Linux or Mac.

There are so many other issues.
- The file explorer gets slower and more broken with each update. context menus randomly don't show, or take literally 30 seconds to load.
- The renderer crashes randomly once a week (it's not a huge issue, but the screen goes black for 10 seconds or so)
- the settings dialog is bad. goes through like 5 different layers of Windows generations and recently makes the old dialogs hard to find but doesn't offer adequate replacements (looking at network and sound)
- and much more...
While that is true. The people of Taiwan and the government don’t care to make claims on China. The island literally just wants to live their life. But if they tried to change their constitution and remove any claim it would be seen as an “attempt” at independence and cause China to throw a hissy fit.

Pointing this out always looks like endorsement of the CPC as it’s always a point that is pointed out as justification to claim Taiwan is part of China.

By the way, this is such a textbook example of how planted counter narratives brainwash people into deflecting actual criticism on a topic.

People interpret the speaker as if he is “one of those people”, who believes the counter narrative the listener has heard about.

Rarely does the listener move past this point, and check in on whether the speaker is actually one of those people, or if he is someone who has never heard of those people, or if he has ignored those people because he thinks their views are just as stupid as you think they are, and he is actually independently criticizing the topic.

Exactly. Some comments here seem to imply that it's somehow good (or at least not bad) for Taiwan's national security to transfer technology to the US because Taiwan can now more credibly threaten to destroy their fabs, completely missing the point that China wants to reunify with Taiwan with or without these fabs.

It's a complete misreading of the situation; the US is in fact actively undermining Taiwan's national security, both 1) by coercing Taiwan to transfer its technology and human capital and 2) by banning chip trade between Taiwan and China.

I wish Apple would put more of their operating systems on a public git repository, make people sign CLA’s who make contributions, and vigorously defend their IP if people try using it in a manner that violates their terms of service.

They should also setup a public bug tracker so people can follow issues they care about.

Over time, a community/network of people inside and outside of Apple would evolve that fix issues and improve areas of the operating system they care about. Some sort of reputation system would emerge where people who write quality bug reports or create quality patches would get more attention from Apple.

It wouldn’t be open source, but it would at least be better than the way it works today.
It is how humans operate. We don't critically analyze the situation to decide if the danger is from an autonomous device or human action, or if the animal is being playful or aggressive. Panic is panic, the whole point being to bypass critical thinking and act immediately. And causing panic is dangerous. The robot acts aggressively no matter if it is autonomous, or the operator spilled their coffee, or the operator is doing it deliberately. Just like a person can act aggressively even if they are just playing around.
The problem I see is that although the trend may have started before, Brexit caused the local financial services sector to effectively collapse and move to the Netherlands and Germany. London will never be able to recover that loss in ten generations. Had brexiters not ejected your finance industry, there was probably an opportunity to recover.

The US is not going to help defend Taiwan is a fair thesis, but reciprocally, China is not going to attack Taiwan.

Even if Russia gets all of it's demands in the peacemaking process with Ukraine, that war has done permanent and lasting damage to it's economy and global position. For China to attack Taiwan, it would give up any hope of continuing it's healthy trends towards increased economic and political importance.

Eventually, Taiwan will re-join China when it is sufficiently strong. It's symbolism as a continued humiliation by the west is more useful as propaganda than an actual military target.

This is so absurd it's getting to the point where it's laughably evil.

No, the US has far simpler and completely free methods to do this. For example, look at how travel works. You can't use any US federal dollars to fly on non-US airlines unless it's impossible to do so (with some other caveats we won't go into here).

What the US should do is simply declare, no US federal dollar can go to any AI chip that's not produced in the US. No US federal dollar can go into running training or inference for any model that isn't using GPUs produced in the US.

That's it. An instant massive market is created. Without taxpayer dollars. Without subsidies.

Show HN: Fixed the Painful Process of Distributing App Store Subcription Offers
If you’ve ever tried distributing App Store subscription offer codes, you know it’s a mess.

Here’s why:

Users get frustrated – Most codes are already redeemed by the time they try them.
No tracking – Developers have no clue who claimed what, leading to wasted codes.
Zero engagement – Users grab codes, but there’s no follow-up, making conversion rates terrible.
Manual distribution – Devs are stuck manually sharing codes via Reddit, emails, or DMs.

We built RevenueFlo to fix this broken system. Instead of throwing codes into the void, developers can:

Create personalized offer links – No more expired codes; each user gets their own.
Enable one-click redemption – No need to copy-paste codes, just tap and claim.
Track who redeems what – Get insights into usage and conversions.
Run smarter offer campaigns – Convert free users, re-engage churned subscribers, and upsell seamlessly.

You don’t need any technical expertise—just create an offer link in a few steps and let users redeem effortlessly. See it in action: offers.revenueflo.com/oG6gzk (Best viewed on iPhone!)

We’d love to hear your thoughts! Have you struggled with subscription offer code distribution? How do you handle it now? Let’s discuss.
what if you thought of your codebase as something similar to human DNA and the LLM as nature and the entire process as some sort of evolutionary process? the fitness function would be no panics exceptions and latency instead of some random KPI or OKR pr who likes working with who or who made who laugh

OS by default should have or atleast allow some sort of control / centralized guidelines over the distribution of the content.

No product on a real market ever works like that (otherwise all goods of the same kind would cost the same everywhere in a country, priced at the marginal cost of supplying it to the most remote island community, which everyone can attest is not how markets work).

Such a behavior only happens on artificial markets that have been designed for that purpose to match an ideological vision of how an “ideal market” should behave.

Turns out the “ideal market” is a dystopia instead of the intended utopia.

> The only downside is the stdlib being as fast-moving of a target as it is.

Ah that's an interesting take, my opinion is that the stdlib doesn't move fast enough.

In its current state it's pretty broken, most of the "process", "os" and "posix" modules are either straight up raising unreachable in normal scenarios, or simply badly designed. I would like the stdlib to be much more fast moving and fix all these issues, but I had the impression most work on it is frozen until 0.15 or 0.16, after incremental compilation is done.
I did a similar thing in Python[0]. Probably not as well written and, to be honest, I just made up the address resolution algorithm. I got as far as pinging an internet host with ICMP. I like that mine is completely contained in a (short) notebook, though (the OP article misses many details that are in the larger source code that is referenced).

I hadn't seen this article and did mine all from Wikipedia! There is a huge jump in complexity for TCP, though, and I lost interest a bit. Part 3 of this covers that so maybe one day I'll read that and finish mine.

I found it very rewarding and it's definitely something that is doable by any level of programmer if you're interested in networking.

Bold of you to assume that the goal of the current administration is to maintain USD hegemony. They've stated explicitly several times that they feel the dollar is too expensive and gone on at length about the trade "deficit". Even going so far with Trump and Musk hinting that they will renig on US foreign debt obligations ("lots of fraud in treasuries"), which would destroy the value of the USD overnight if they followed through.

It seems clear to me one
goal of the current admin is to transform the US into an export economy, and the strong currency is one major roadblock in reaching their objective.

Would love to see more analysis on this, as their trial balloons around tanking USD seem to have gotten lost in the noise.
