Huh, I was under the impression that you were forking Chromium itself instead of building over Electron. Or are you talking about a past, post-Gecko decision that had to be dropped as well?
I find an odd overlap between people who get incredulous about function decomposition and who think cracking open a thesaurus as an architectural exercise is stupid.

I have no idea what that’s about, but I think it has something to do with “white-knuckling”.

People name things and then miss boundary conditions that matter and would have been implied by finding a more accurate synonym. And also supplementary features that the better name suggests.

Ah.

I don't know if he'd be pleased or dismayed to learn that here in 2025, programming is often a whole lot easier than pure mathematics. Programming is often small science experiments performed on immensely complex systems. Math is still actually math.

And Italian. It’s actually named after Alessandro Volta’s (the guy who named the Volt) name for the "Pila di Volta" - his stack of soaked rags that stored electricity, or what we'd nowadays call a battery stack. Pila is a Pile that stores electricity or a Battery - Pila :)
A "no Electrician required" device that plugs into your wall and back-feeds power is a HUGE safety issue, and a HUGE no-no.

Half the problem with home-generation is a cutoff/sync device that synchronizes the frequency of your local generation with the grid, and kills power going back into the grid from your home generator when there is an outage, so line workers can do their jobs safely. And unless there is a more expensive/complicated device that can 'smear' the frequencys between the two systems slowly so they match after a disconnect/reconnect, most of these systems will shutdown local generation if there is no reference frequency from the main power feed.

Backup can be extended to 62 hours through an expansion pack. A foldable solar array can be plugged in as well to extend backup indefinitely for long outages.
Apparently this was quite common before. (Ask ChatGPT!)

Recently I had a power outage due to a storm, and the first thing I did the next morning was go to the store and get several bags of ice, which I put into the fridge and freezer. The fridge was still cold enough several days later when power was finally restored.

This could still have been useful if we weren't home, but as you said these things happen so rarely here that I cannot see myself getting something like this, especially for the fridge since ice just works.

To be fair though, it did mean we could not open the fridge willy-nilly, maybe that helped me lose some weight...

It won't happen. Automation /increases/ employment because it makes the employees more productive, which attracts more business.
Well, they had some very bad financial years behind them. They will let third parties, but it will take time to recuperate losses.
How did they do that? And why does HR at your former company care about unemployment numbers? Were they committing employment insurance fraud?

Congrats to Microsoft for Windows 1. But I still think Amiga/AmigaOS was superior. However, when Microsoft released Windows 3, you could start to see where the puck was going. So I skated toward the puck, like everyone else. Sorry Commodore. :(
> It should, uh, at least be noted that "Android is Linux" doesn't really matter if you're just going to use a Virtual Machine anyway. Android could be based on BeOS and you could still have a Linux virtual machine.

For a worked example, this is also how WSL2 works.

> You could have a Windows virtual machine, for that matter. I wonder if Microsoft would be interested...

It would be interesting to get official buy-in, but https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43336934 links to GrapheneOS planning to make it work.

> I would be interested in what it would take to get a non-virtualized Linux terminal on Android. Android is just a Linux distro at the end of the day, right? Could you chroot into a Debian environment?

Yes, you can do a chroot if your Android device is rooted. You can also use Termux, which doesn't need root and essentially is its own Debian-like distro, and which further can has the proot-distro tool to automate installation of assorted Linux distros in what is basically a chroot without needing root (proot is an unprivileged tool that can do all kinds of interesting things, including what amounts to chroot and mount --bind).
Happy birthday and thank you!
Five Guys tastes like you're drinking peanut oil and costs like 3 times other places. I feel like I'm going to die if I eat one of the fries though.

I mean, McDs mostly tastes like salt, but I find if you add lots of vegetables via the app options it feels okay.
A suitable UPS for that application costs less than $100.
The VM is probably for security. Oddly it might also actually improve performance, but that depends on the details (hardware-supported virtualization is fast, and using ptrace to fake a chroot has a perf hit; I don't know that it's faster, but it wouldn't surprise me).
You would likely approach it in any style with some helper functions once whatever's in the parentheses or ifs starts feeling big. E.g. in the dot style you could

fn bookFilter(book: Book) -> bool {
return book.pageCount > 100 and
book.language == "Chinese" and
book.subject == "History" and
book.author.mentions > 10_000
}

var favoriteFoodsOfFurryPetsOfFamousAuthorsOfLongChineseBooksAboutHistory = books
.filter(bookFilter)
.flatMap(book => book.author.pets)
.filter(pet => pet.is_furry)
.map(pet => pet.favoriteFood)
.distinct()
COOL, maybe update the site now? Just sayin....
Always, always check in about whether it would be simpler to fix the function than to write an extended apology for it working the way it does.

While Five Whys works very well for disaster prevention, I find 3 often suffice for fixing rather than explaining an architectural wart. Often we used to need this to work this way because something else had to work a particular way, but as the product grew that is no longer true, or desirable. So you might be able to fix it or put a fix on the backlog.
Does the two-way meter have a way to prevent back feeding the grid in the event of a power outage? Having an unregulated device even under 800W seems like it could be dangerous to anybody working on the power lines.

Nice? Sure. Do I expect it? No. I’ll go to the consulate before leaving my country to ensure I understand the laws of the country in which I’m going to be a guest, and obey those laws. In cases where I’ve needed translations, I’ve obtained them at my expense. I certainly don’t expect them to be provided freely.

Fast food isn't really for low-income people. They /work/ there rather than eating there. It's just associated with them because the experience feels poor.

It's more for people who need or want the convenience.
What in your mind is the main advantage for using the app over the web site?
“ These new tools streamline core agent logic, orchestration, and interactions, making it significantly easier for developers to get started with building agents”

Sounds exactly like “the cloud”, especially AWS. Basically “get married to our platform, build on top of it, and make it hard to leave.” The benefits are that it’s easy to get started. And also that they invested in the infrastructure, but now they are trying to lock you in by storing as much state and data as possible with them withoit an easy way to migrate. So, increase your switching costs. For social networks the benefit was that they had the network effect but that doesn’t apply here.

Hey, just curious, since you actually might know about this. My country (Norway) has extremely strict import rules. All items must have the VAT paid on them, and if they don’t, you have to pay the VAT plus an administrative fee in order to pick up the item. However, there have been plenty of times where I paid VAT to the store, but then I still get charged VAT upon pick up. According to the postal service, this is because “the company didn’t register their VOEC number electronically for the shipment” and then they tell me to get the company to refund the VAT, and I guess go fuck myself for the administration fee.

Leaving aside the utter garbage that is the Norwegian postal system, do you know what that means? Is that something that just happens as a matter of course when using Sphere? Is that a common feature among platforms that offer the service? I have no clue how unique Norway is or isn’t in this regard, but I imagine countries in general want to collect VAT for imports.
>add software intelligence so it's not sitting idle 99%

Its a battery backup, how would it not be sitting idle 99% of the time?
Great points! This is meant as whole room backup - so it’ll keep your fridge (and a few other small devices like wifi, etc) running for 2-3 days - a pretty long outage.

It’s basically a huge, 21st century UPS.

It can also do arbitrage and charge when it’s cheap and deploy the power when it’s expensive.

The main problem with a powerwall is it doesn’t work for renters, and costs 20,000+ (and permits, etc) if you do own your home.

A pull-sting generator (gas) is great - and a push-button one is around 1K also btw- but it doesn’t go on automatically if you’re out, and be noisy, can only be started after the hurricane, etc

Finally, local-first is super important to us for outage or otherwise - we integrate with Home Assistant and have public MQTT topics you can directly hook into no matter what happens to Pila the company, as long as your hardware lasts (predicted 10 years).

Idk - that’s where we feel like the position and gap in this market is? But we may be wrong :)

A thread going into what Knuth meant by that quote that is usually shortened to "premature optimization is the root of all evil". Or, to rephrase it: don't tire yourself out climbing for the high fruit, but do not ignore the low-hanging fruit. But really I don't even see why "scripting languages" are the particular "high level" languages of choice. Compilers nowadays are good. No one is asking you to drop down to C or C++.
The galactic and extragalactic science cases (meaning, “stuff in the Milky Way” vs “everything inside the Milky Way”) are actually pretty unrelated here.

We actually have quite a good idea about the history of the Milky Way and all the smaller galaxies that it’s eaten (and will eat, such as our main current satellites the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds). We’re even pretty sure that the MW merged with another large galaxy about 11bil year ago, sometimes called “Kraken”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kraken_galaxy?wprov=sfti1. SPHEREx is not interested in any of that, and it looks like it’s galactic science will mostly be mapping out where clouds of ice crystals are in the Milky Way. SPHEREx has very low spatial resolution (about 6 arcsec), so it’s certainly not observing any exoplanets, but that’s the trade off with an all-sky mission like this.

One of the big drivers of the extragalactic science, though, is looking for signatures of cosmic inflation in the distribution of galaxies on large scales. IMO this is by far the most interesting science case, and will be genuinely exciting and novel. Its survey design doesn’t give it great resolution, but it’s amazing IR spectrophometry will let it map the rough distribution of galaxies at redshifts we haven’t been able to survey before. This is called intensity mapping

The word "Europe" does not appear in that paper. I'm not contesting that cannibalism occurs, I'm contesting the idea that it was occurring at rates that were at all comparable to the Maori at the time of colonization. The original article you posted seemed to imply that the consumption of human body parts was common practice in Europe during the Renaissance. If the trade in human flesh and bones had been as common as the article was implying, why were anatomists robbing graves to find cadavers?

> The Egyptian mummy snacks were a thing and documented in multiple places.

I will concede on this. Most of the citations I was finding in the Wikipedia article you linked to ultimately only pointed to two sources (all the other articles it cited ultimately led back to Richard Sugg), but based on the article you linked to in this comment, I was able to find this article [0] on JSTOR which gets to a primary source describing the trade. I will have to do more reading about this as I wasn't able to find any indication of how this trade was viewed.

There were only a few instances of cannibalism listed during the colonial period in the Wikipedia article you linked to - most seem to have involved sailors lost at sea. I don't want to sound like I'm minimizing this given what I just learned about the trade in powdered mummies, but I still don't think there is a convincing case that the problem was occurring at anywhere near the scale seen in the South Pacific.

What percentage of the new code was written by an LLM?
Wealth =/= spending, and definitely doesn't equal consumption.

Elon Musk might have more wealth than 1,000,000 US households, but he doesnt eat 3 million meals a day, drive a million cars, or sleep in a million houses.

I would be very interested in seeing the breakdown of consumption instead of wealth, as competition for goods and services produced is where disparity has tangible impact.

However, the productivity of workers in relation to capital is a valid concern for their ability claim the goods produced.
Thank you for working on and sharing this project, it's a wonderful example of how maps help tell / connect the stories through the years. It was also nice to see the piece you drew inspiration from that you linked to in another comment.

I'm curious -- each section (after the transitional animation) seems like it translates quite well to being a fixed page, and I'm wondering if you've looked at there being an easy way to generate a version that could be printed?

The reason I ask is that I'm working on a family history project which involves various locations, maps, newspaper stories and old photographs, and whilst something interactive feels like it would be an engaging way to do it, for the long term it's always good to have a printed copy of anything :)

I could imagine if there was an easy way to generate a print version of your articles, some people would pay for a copy (that was printed professionally in a suitable photobook-style format).

Apologies if there is a simple way to generate this and I've missed it in my cursory glance around the code :)
Datadog is industry standard at this point, if you dont know what splunk or datadog is you are likely not their ICP and their marketing is not targeting you.
I mirror this sentiment. Even their "function calling" abstraction still hallucinates parameters and schema, and the JSON schema itself is clearly way too verbose and breaks down completely if you feed it anything more complex than 5 very simple function calls. This just seems to build upon their already broken black box abstractions and isn't useful for any real world applications, but it's helpful for getting small proof-of-concept apps going, I guess...
Will Prowse on youtube a great resource.

For <$1000, you can get a 3-5kWh system (battery+solar charge controller+inverter)
100%! This is a great solution, many people also freeze a glass of ice and put a coin on top so if there is an outage when they’re out, the coin will be frozen at the bottom when they get back (and they know their meat won’t be any good).

Pila is meant more as a set-and-forget solution if you want something seamless and connected.
and its a resource hog, sadly
In a globalized world, Richard's Law of comparative advantage tells us that the economic activity in each country will increasingly be concentrated into fewer industries. For example, it would no longer make sense to build cars in Australia if Mexico can do it better and cheaper.

This trend might reverse a bit. Populist tariffs and increasing transport costs are generally driving up the prices of imported goods in many countries.
This will be very welcome. I've been working on refactoring very large Typescript files in a very large solution in VS2022. Sometimes it gets into a state where just editing the code or copy/pasting causes it to hang for a few seconds and the fans on my workstation to take off like a jet engine. The typing advantages my team has gotten from migrating our codebase to Typescript has been invaluable, but the performance implications really hurt.
One of the most horrible aspect of the tax system is that individuals are held responsible for ensuring that they calculate and pay the correct amounts. It's kind of messed up that not only we have to pay tax, but the government doesn't even have the responsibility of telling us how much we owe it or what specific work which it did is covered by the payment.

Every other entity on this planet who wants to obtain money from another entity needs to tell them exactly how much is owed and exactly what goods and services are covered by that payment.

But the government not only doesn't have to report what work it did to warrant the payment, it doesn't even need to tell us the specific amount which we owe it; it's on us to figure that out... Figuring that out is complex and sometimes expensive too; many people can't afford. The gig economy is creating complex tax situations even for poor people. If we calculate incorrectly, then we suffer consequences. It's oppressive.

I know some people will read this and think I'm off on a wild tangent... But my friend, I'm actually addressing the core of the issue here. It's you who is on a wild tangent addressing superficial edge cases. The superficial cases aren't worth discussing; VAT, GST, CGT, income Tax and all other acronyms... Just don't participate in this system. Sell your business, change countries, go on unemployment benefits or whatever until this issue is fixed. How can a rational person operate in this environment? I can't believe some people work for fun. It's the most rigged, boring game ever.

>1.6 KWH CAPACITY

looks at fridge in marketing photo with estimated 2 days of life

Bullshit on that one. A modern day french door fridge will use 1.6 kWh per day. Even more if they have bullshit features.
This can start up a Sump Pump with a 7.8kW surge (2.4kw running output)
Unfortunately just like a weekend with weak follow up for a couple of weeks
Bullshit on the fridge. A modern day french door uses almost 2 kWh per day at the mid range model level (which really isn't that different from older top freezers). Higher end fridges use even more. The 1.6 kWh capacity isn't enough for 2-3 days.
I can’t afford something like this but I would absolutely get something similar to this if I could.

My sump pumps are literally one of my biggest home ownership worries.
