The problem with EPA range is that it's a compromise between highway range and city range, so it's almost guaranteed to poorly match your driving unless your daily driving mix equals the averages. This is a consequence of insisting on one number, not inflation.

Inb4 "just pick highway range and be conservative" -- no, because then you will buy a car with great aerodynamics and terrible regen and spend all day driving it around the city using the terrible regen and not using the great aerodynamics.
I think I pretty directly addressed that point. Yes, it would be more expensive to hire me to do what Claude Code / Aider did, but nobody would be satisfied with my work if I stopped where Claude Code / Aider did.
Antibodies are not vaccines. Antibodies bind to an antigen (virus component in this case) to get the immune system to attack and destroy the antigen and whatever it's attached to.

A vaccine causes the patient to develop specific immunity (fast reaction to a specific antigen) by introducing (usually injecting) a large amount of an antigen. That prompts the immune system to react by developing B-cells that produce their own antibodies to the antigen. It turns the body into its own antibody factory to deal with whatever you injected, but that takes time.

Injecting antibodies, as in this study, bypasses the natural (slow) specific immunity generation process. Antibodies are created some other way (in a lab, or in some other animal) and then directly injected. It's done for serious diseases or dangerous toxins or immuno-compromised individuals, when waiting for the patient to develop their own specific immunity is too slow or dangerous.

Critically, a vaccine allows the body to maintain the ability to fight off similar-enough infections for a while, but usually takes weeks or more to reach near full effect, sometimes requiring multiple shots for better effectiveness. If you're trying to treat an infection you think you might already have or will get in the next few days, vaccines only work if the progression of the disease is very slow, as in rabies which takes something like 1-2 months to make it into the CNS.

Injecting antibodies is a one-shot treatment that must be repeated until the virus (or toxin or other bad thing) is gone. It's commonly done for toxins (spider or snake venoms), or sometimes for severe diseases (ebola, tetanus), but sars-cov-2 has so much attention that now they're doing it for that too. In patients who aren't immunocompromised, antibody treatments for less-lethal infections give their immune systems more time to generate their own antibodies without developing severe symptoms.

The similarity in the two approaches is that they both ultimately involve antibodies binding to coronavirus proteins. The difference is in where those antibodies come from, and whether the body can produce more at will (vaccine --[time]--> natural immunity), or whether you have to keep injecting them (antibody treatments).

That's only a rough approximation. The immune system is very complicated. Wikipedia, or a book on molecular biology or immunology, will go into a lot more detail.
Much easier to link / load into other language binaries surely.
If you ever wonder why some folks with a fair amount of potential and something to offer keep to themselves, this isn't the worst example.

I think most people could criticize the carbon out of a corpse if they themselves weren't being criticized into one.

If we devolved from apes, maybe apes devolved from piranhas.
Who cares? Substitute whatever labels you prefer, but the distinction between the two groups I’d certainly real.
> It's rather telling when your own manager tells you that if you want fast promos and raises, the best way to do so is to switch companies every few years.

This is different than what GP asked, it excludes anyone who might prefer stability over fast raises. Are the job-hoppers the majority, or are they just more visible because they're always interviewing?
Fair enough.

But overall polling is pretty clear (this is from Jan 2024, but I imagine it's probably pretty similar now) https://abacusdata.ca/carbon-tax-pollution-pricing-carbon-ac...

31% say they won't vote liberals regardless of carbon tax, 23% say they won't vote liberal because of, or partly because of carbon tax, 38% says their liberal support is carbon pricing agnostic, and 8% says carbon pricing makes liberals more attractive.
No, this is a treatment. Vaccines are preventative by priming your immune system, this directly targets SARS-CoV-2 itself, so is for people who actively have COVID.
BTW, is there something specific that caught your attention?
The author probably mean hypermedias. Buttons and links are just means, but no interactivity even happens without the user clicking or moving their mouse.

Now we can of course talk about client-only interactivity (as in thick clients like paint apps) but that's not the topic.

I think in a way, we already sort of have precedent for this, in the comics sector.

The Japanese-style "phone book sized" manga weeklies/monthlies are the manifestation of this idea. Technically it's not a "free" teaser, but if you buy the issue for one or two "known" series you want to try, the rest is shoveled into your hand for free.

It also provides a good stickiness factor-- if you originally bought the magazine for one or two series, hopefully you've glommed onto others by the time those end or you lose interest in them.
Nothing has changed about civic freedoms in the US with the new administration. If you read the article, their reasons are a bunch of things that have NOTHING to do with civic freedoms. It cites reducing the size of the federal workforce for example. This is just a political activist group that is falsely pitched as some kind of civic freedoms watchlist.

On the other hand the EU has serious issues with civic freedoms - censorship, suppression of political parties, cancelling elections with results they don’t like, and more. But I’m sure this group doesn’t mind those actual civic freedom issues.
Any or all of the technologies that people actually use. Like it or not, the number of active shortwave listeners is tiny, even in poor and remote parts of the world. Voice of America and the BBC World Service are the strongest possible case for shortwave, but even they have been scaling back their shortwave operations because most of their listeners prefer local AM/FM transmissions or streaming. Whatever the benefits of shortwave might be, they're entirely hypothetical for the vast majority who have no interest in buying a relatively esoteric receiver, stringing up a longwire and chasing a carrier across the bands.

I still occasionally operate on top band with a straight key, but even I have to accept that shortwave is now almost entirely irrelevant and rapidly headed towards extinction.

Well, we do evolve, but we've slowed the process with our ability to survive even when our bodies begin to fail us. In today's modern world, not reproducing is often a choice. However, evolution is no longer just about spreading genes—our advancements allow us to shape our own survival beyond natural selection.

I believe we are still evolving, but at least for now, in this brief period, our most significant "evolution" has been our ability to extend life and enhance its comfort—whether by tweaking bodily mechanisms or treating diseases. I hope that gene editing will be our next step in evolution, allowing us to take control of our biological limitations in ways we never could before.
Magicam was all about real-time AI face-swapping for meetings and livestreams. Now, after months of hard work, we’ve leveled up! Our face-swapping is smoother and more natural, plus we’ve added voice transformation, video face-swapping, live photos, and parameter fine-tuning.

Flutter/Dart is much cleaner since it essentially starts with a fresh slate. I would argue it's probably the best way to make a mobile app if you need to make something quick and dirty. If you have a lot of time and money you can actually just write native code in Swift/Objective-C and Kotlin/Java, but that's not something I'd expect a single person to do.

I am a little bit concerned that Google appears to be cutting back on its support of flutter.
> Regarding your point about nameplate power, dispatchable sources have existed for almost a century using this convention.

The only thing that came close to batteries would have been pumped storage hydro power. And rather small installations at that. These number in the dozens (at best) worldwide. They were irrelevant for public discourse on the topic, therefore nameplate capacity was a useful metric as it was the only material one that mattered.

Mentioning nameplate capacity for a source that has single-digit hours of fuel (storage) available is misleading at best short of writing targeted at industry insiders. Storage was simply an irrelevant metric until very recently, and it's very easy to leave it out (or not understand it's a missing bit of critical information) if you don't know anything about the topic at hand.

It's not a conspiracy and I never stated such. It's folks who have an agenda to push at worst, or much more likely folks who simply don't have a clue about what they are writing about and take press releases at their word without applying critical thinking.

It would be like quoting flywheel storage at nameplate and not mentioning that the rated capacity is only useful for single digit minutes to a naive audience. Misleading at best, but certainly not a conspiracy. Factually correct but incomplete information is typically no better than misinformation. It hurts the cause in the end.

I think battery storage is on the right track, but the past 5 years of journalism on the subject has left their audience with incomplete at best information on the topic. Adding 1GW of grid capacity in batteries is simply not the same as adding 1GW of natural gas, nuclear, or hydro power but most reading these articles would not come away with such an understanding. Having had casual chats with "laymen" on the topic the average person simply does not understand this level of nuance. You get to first attempt to explain the difference when someone tries to compare a battery source to a nuclear power plant. This is where my real-world frustration over journalism here stems from.

fwiw I think the writer here did a good job! I also disagree that the interchanging of units was incorrect. It read factually correct to me as they quoted both as any competent writing on the subject should.

I see this far more as an indictment of journalism (with a nod towards PR departments perhaps trying to greenwash) than anything remotely resembling a conspiracy.
The most direct way that the U.S. government can control inflation is via layoffs of federal workers. Private companies are jumping on the bandwagon to get rid of hires made during more booming times. The fact is that higher interest rates have cooled down investments, which factors into the decisions made by companies to fire staff. Note though that companies which actually build stuff, like Apple, are adding jobs, instead.

Building AI Assistant on Glasses with 6-Person 7-Day Video Capturing
We're excited to introduce EgoLife, a cutting-edge project that’s working towards bringing AI seamlessly into our daily lives through first-person perspective data.

In this ongoing research, we’ve invited 6 volunteers to live together for a full week, each wearing Meta Aria smart glasses that capture everything they see, hear, and do. This results in 300+ hours of real-life, multimodal data—a valuable resource for building an AI system that doesn’t just understand the present moment, but also remembers, reason, and assists based on long-term experiences.

Key features of EgoLife include:

- Tracking memories and details from daily activities (e.g., “Where did I buy that yogurt?”)

- Recalling events from days past (e.g., “What did I eat for lunch this week?”)

- Task management (e.g., “What else should I buy?”)
Understanding social interactions (e.g., “Who was missing from the party?”)

- Providing insights into habits (e.g., “What is my favorite vegetable?”)

The EgoButler system, powered by EgoGPT and EgoRAG, enables long-term memory retrieval, temporal reasoning, and context-aware question answering, allowing the AI to assist in ways never seen before.

This is just the beginning. We’re working on scaling the technology and enhancing its capabilities to create the AI companion of the future.

There's plenty to not like about Jobs as a person, but Apple exists because of him (twice).
They aren't necessarily saying it can replace you. They're saying that even though it's expensive, it's cheaper than your time (which can be better spent on other tasks, as you point out.)
You can ask AI to help with your prompt

Government employees are funded by taxing or inflating away wealth from the productive economy. That wealth doesn't evaporate when the government employee is fired, it is instead reverts back for spending to the entities from which it came. It's in another person's pocket who themselves can fuel the local economy, not gone.
I should start counting how many political posts makes it to the front page of HN, and how many minutes until they're bounced off.
Okay, let me increase the resolution. Financial analyst and Gizmodo are not exactly a pair. Quite frankly, Financial analyst and CNBC or Bloomberg are not exactly a couple either. Those things don't go together.

As in, which of the following does not belong in the group:

1. Gizmodo

2. CNBC

3. Bloomberg

4. Financial Analyst

You might think it's Gizmodo, but it's not. The first three are the same is my point, and there's no way a financial analyst is even there (let alone a technical one that knows about AI). Now what if I told you the thing you thought doesn't belong there (Gizmodo) and the thing I'm telling you doesn't belong there (Financial Analyst) are in the same place? You should be confounded, it's ridiculous (Gizmodo Financial Analyst, huh?). My last sentence is the best joke of the year, trust me on that.

They have no credibility across the board (across all three of those things) is sort of the criticism.

Sorry I am sure the article about enclaves triggered this thought about Steve for you. I cannot how one led to the other, can you may be tell us?
In his time, names in Italy were often differently structured than today, and they varried a lot. For example Leonardo's full name was Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci ("Leonardo, son of ser Piero from Vinci"). For Michelangelo it was Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni. For Raphael it was Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino. They all are known and commonly referred to by their baptismal name (often translated it. Raffaello => engl. Raphael, germ. Raffael).

However, there are other Italians contemporary to them, were we use other parts of their name as a shorthand, sometimes altered somewhat to adjust to our modern forename-surname system. For example: Filippo di ser Brunellesco di Lippo Lapi => Filippo Brunelleschi, or Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli => Niccolò Machiavelli.

There are other special cases: Giovanni Pico dei conti della Mirandola e della Concordia is known as "Giovanni Pico della Mirandola" and can be reffered to as "Pico della Mirandola" or "Pico", but usally not as "della Mriandola".

Galileo Galilei is also a special case, were both, "Galileo" and "Galilei", are acceptable (although I think "Galilei" is becoming more and more the standard).

So there is no rule of thumb how to refer to famous Italians of the Renaissance. It differs from case to case. You simply have to follow the individual practices.
It’s really weird. On the one hand they are pushing hard down their customer’s throats and yet on the other they haven’t really produced something of killer value.

Are there any consumer cars fitted with LiDAR that also advertise FSD capability?

If not: perhaps something like a Waymo fit-out is way outside a consumers normal capability to afford, or even clean and maintain?

I’m not convinced either way yet. But I think the need to fulfill the FSD promise to prior buyers is one reason why FSD would need to happen without LiDAR.

How MokaHR Is Revolutionizing Hiring with AI-Powered Applicant Tracking
The Problem: Why Traditional Hiring is Broken
Recruitment is still a slow, manual, and inefficient process for many companies. HR teams struggle with:

High-volume applications with low-quality filtering.
Fragmented hiring workflows across spreadsheets and emails.
Poor collaboration between recruiters, hiring managers, and interviewers.
Lack of data insights, making recruitment decisions reactive rather than strategic.
The Solution: AI-Driven Applicant Tracking
An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) solves these inefficiencies by automating candidate sourcing, resume screening, interview scheduling, and recruitment analytics.

MokaHR is a modern, AI-powered ATS that helps companies scale hiring through:
Automated resume parsing & intelligent ranking to filter the best candidates.
Customizable hiring workflows that adapt to different recruitment needs.
Data-driven insights on hiring efficiency, time-to-fill, and candidate drop-off.
WeChat & mobile integration for a seamless hiring experience in China.

Why MokaHR?
Unlike legacy ATS platforms like Workday or Taleo, MokaHR is:

Designed for speed → Minimal learning curve, quick implementation.
AI-enhanced → Smart recommendations reduce manual screening.
Optimized for China → Local job board integration, compliance support, WeChat hiring.
Built for collaboration → Real-time feedback loops between HR, hiring managers, and recruiters.
Who is Using It?
MokaHR is trusted by fast-scaling startups, mid-sized companies, and enterprises that need a modern hiring system. Whether you’re hiring 10 or 10,000 employees, optimizing the recruitment funnel is critical.

Hiring is a competitive advantage. If you’re still relying on outdated tools, you’re already behind.

I figured as much. The question about why it is needed brought to mind something I was told when I started work there, over three decades ago. It was something along the line that all the signal energy recorded by the observatory’s telescopes integrated over their lifetimes amounted to less energy than is expended by one flea making one jump. I don’t know exactly how accurate that is, but it does rather vividly illustrate the problem.

Okay, you can work on changing the law, and the rest of us can work on just building infrastructure now and not waiting for the law to catch up. I don't know about you, but in my current country I have absolutely zero representation with the current oligarchy.

> Trying to make some end-run around market forces is futile

Market forces and the law are two different things, which one are you arguing?

> People en masse aren't going to pay for a service with privacy when they can get a free version that does the same stuff but blasts them with ad trackers

I never suggested anyone pay for anything, this is a straw man argument.

I don't understand your aggressive stance against engineers building better, open alternatives to current offerings. The market is getting hungrier for it, and if a product is genuinely better, "market forces" will do their thing, no run-around needed.
That sounds nice. Except find a company today that doesn't perceive spring framework and java as synonymous.

Keep in mind that only the most extreme, financially focused workers are doing what you describe. Like ones that are young and single.

In addition, let's not pretend thos also isn't by design from the companies. They stopped doing tenure based rewards and are harder than ever to get a raise from. Those people are simply reacting to the terms the companies set.
Up until the 2000s diesel engines in cars used mechanically controlled injection. With those, once started, the engine will run without any electronics.

Engines produced for industrial applications (such as tractors) in developing countries still use this, as it's a lot simpler and more reliable. Military trucks are the same. Just don't tell the EPA.
