The 80s were a magical time. We still believed tools could help us make better systems. Then in the 90s everyone decided they were hardcore coders who didn't need crutches. And then ESR insisted that a bazillion people glancing at a couple of lines of code at a time would fix any bug. And in the 2000s someone seriously misunderstood XP and said that "Agile" meant you didn't need to have a spec or a design because you were writing code that was easy to change and when you figured out what you were trying to do you just refactored your code and viola! the MVP emerged fully formed out of the forehead of Zeus! In the 2010s we stopped doing unit tests because no one read Kent Beck's book and complained that they didn't know what a unit test was and it seems like a bad idea to write tests for code that hasn't been written (and they were probably right because by this time no one knew what the product was supposed to do and we're just going to open source it so our community will fill in the functional bits that we didn't have the time to get around to.) And by now there's a single function call in Python 3.12 that does exactly what you want to do so our entire startup is just an API wrapper around python.

People wonder why I still have a VAX and a PERQ and a TI Explorer at home that I program for fun.

Which is my way of saying... hmm... the link above didn't include a reference to which page to look at but searching for "Athena" led me to page 37 and yes, that does look very nice.
It does have power cleaning functionality when it's off-grid, let me check in with hardware if it does that in pass-through mode. Voltage drops it should detect and cover though.

Automatic load shedding will be configured by appliance priority we were thinking, but open to feedback. The fridge should go out last, the wifi first.

We're using a 1.6kWh LiFePo! Replacement is something we're working hard on, I unfortunately can't speak to that until we're closer to shipping (Q3/Q4).

There are 4 outlets btw - 2 on the front, 2 on the back. Plus 4 USB-C outlets that output 100W DC. 100% we are planning something more substantial (240V is also requested a lot), but we're only launching with 1 SKU that fits a lot of use cases for now.
Why is this a safety issue? Home batteries are capable of detecting outages and ensuring that they don’t back-feed after an outage. Pila is no different.

I was curious, because I had thought that all Microsoft stores had closed.

it appears that there is still at least one Microsoft store (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/locations) in the United States, but I think that might be it.

I guess the non-satirical answer would be "experiences"
The underlying paper https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.13...
Looks like he's just talking about how users that start flame wars around the contentious topic of the day will forget about it soon and move on to the next topic. Even if you disagree with him in regards to the topic that was posted on, I don't see how anyone can honestly misinterpret that badly enough to think he's describing HN as a whole.

It can have devastating effect on your bladder as well, some people need to go the the toilet every hour or even have it removed.
Probably only passing power through when it's still on-grid, because it's more efficient is our current plan for now. Surge protection we will cover though, just voltage drops are not planned to be covered for above reasons.

As soon as the power's going through our inverter, it'll be the clean sine wave you are talking about.
If there is contamination with the target sequence then it will be found by the PCR analysis. I don’t know the practical limits of sensitivity but theoretically it can detect a single occurrence of the target sequence.
I built one of the Trade Promotion Management platforms used in the NA market, and couldn't agree more. It's a nightmare trying to be auditable if you didn't think about it from the start.
In a perfect world, I would have liked to see Firefox build what is now the Proton suite of apps.

I would still like to see Proton fork Firefox and operate their own browser once they've matured further.
I have been using Windsurf+Sonnet for a couple months, and recently adding Supabase MCP was a total game changer for velocity. I can't believe I waited so long to configure that.

Querying schema from prompt is great, but also being able to say "I cannot see the Create Project button on the projects list screen. Use MCP to see if user with email me@domain.com has the appropriate permissions" is just amazing.
Pila detects when the grid goes down & when it returns. This is done by all home batteries & Pila is no different.
Interesting! I agree that India’s colonial history is unique in that it wasn’t settled by Europeans like North America.

But Judaism isn’t a western religion, it’s a Middle Eastern religion with strong ethnic ties. Hence it hasn’t evolved and branched like all the major religions have. Christianity isn’t western religion either, but modern Protestantism and Roman Catholicism arguably are. Eastern Orthodox is actually a great example of the diversity of all major religions— they have national churches (Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox).

Islam is multi ethnic of course and so there are branches that are western (Albania is an example) but calling Islam as a whole “western” is mostly incorrect.

I never believed that the "spreading of democracy" was any more than a flimsy pretext for exploiting China's cheap labour.
The portability of the unit also makes a great use case for off-grid, getaway or usage in a remote location, or perhaps just as an additional option for existing setups.

Being able to plug it into a NA standard plug into a more capable generator (or other outlet) to recharge is useful.

Without knowing the price point... van life folks have solar batteries and the published power specs seem to be competitive and useful for powering higher-draw appliances and devices.

The payback period to make arbitrage useful would be very specific to the user and how much electricity costs in their locale, but this calculation should take into account the delivery costs component of a utility bill that can be the same or higher than the cost of the actual electricity.

Sure but that comment was mostly about backend. If Discord used js/ts for backend they wouldn't replace anyone.
The business is built on the fact that young founders have an extra 10-15 years to learn everything compared to older ones. I think this will soon change when older people start rejuvenating and extending their lives. Also, it's just a trend like TikTok and startups founded by 25-year-olds sell better. Given the startup maturation cycle of 7-10 years, the founder will be 32-35 yo and they'll need another 10 years to present a success story for the system to work
That's wild - the country I live in (Australia) has 10x the population of Chicago but only half as many homicides per year. It's hard to imagine that many in one city...
> Democracy doesn’t mean western democracy or liberal democracy

It's something I disagreed with you about before, but have come to agree with you about Raynier.

Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Turkiye, and Israel have all begun falling out of the US orbit after we began pressing on the liberalism aspect.

We should fight for liberal democracy at home, but it is not something we should necessarily evangelize abroad, as elite and economic consolidation plays a greater role in building lasting ties with a country instead of ideological ties.

I had a convo with Mastro and Doshi about this during a seminar a couple months before the election, and it sounded like they also started agreeing with this view as well.
Can you expand on this? What does he not agree with?
Have you looked at any of the integrated options?

Apparently a company in San Francisco put together 110V electric stoves with induction cooktops and integrated batteries --- they then sold them to folks applying for tax rebates to replace gas stoves in kitchens which weren't wired for 220V.

One notable appliance you don't mention on your website is electric water pumps for wells in rural areas....

Similarly, are your devices able to provide sine wave power to run small electric tool motors? Folks with CNC machines might be interested, or perhaps they could run tools on jobsites? How many small tool batteries could be charged from one? Would it fit in a Systainer? Might make a nice fit for folks w/ Festools.
Ironically, tyranny of the majority is a very very good definition of democracy if you drill the majority down into subcategorical majorities recursively until you reach the individual who might be severely disconnected from the averages.
Almost everything you have written here can also describe Canada. There is an Australian YouTuber named Chris Kohler who does really funny little shorts describing things happening in the Aussie economy and it’s jarring how often they apply directly to Canada also.
Non-German in Germany. I get the impression that everyone knows that one holocaust very shamefully, but not any of the other ones. Or the one that's happening right now. (In fact, I could get deported for this comment if the police had nothing better to do. Oh well.)

And in New Zealand they also didn't teach us about the way our ancestors holocausted the Māori.

Holocausts happen with alarming regularly in history, and the side doing one usually ends up winning, except, you know, that one time. I wish I understood what factors make people so unable to reason about them or even acknowledge them. Business as usual bias? Ego defense? I think the German teaching that there was only one and there will never be another falls under denial.

The way you can't talk about Palestine in Germany feels like the way you can't talk about Hacker News moderation on Hacker News, except, you know, the life and death of about 6 million Muslims are at stake.
Chicago doesn't even have the highest murder rate in America, that's the really wild thing.
What's with topics on this matter going off the top page this fast? The services had been intermittent for last couple days, and the current top link goes to Twitter so it's clear that everyone is on it. It warrants a lot more commentaries. Feels like divide-and-conquer is going on.

Twenty two years after publication, more is known:

A study published this week in the journal Science sequenced the almond genome and shows that a single genetic mutation "turned off" the ability to make the toxic compound thousands of years ago — a key step before humans could domesticate almonds.

"Wild almonds are bitter and lethal, even in tiny amounts, because [they have] this amygdalin," says study co-author Stefano Pavan, a professor in agricultural genetics and plant breeding at the University of Bari in Italy. (Pavan's primary co-author was Raquel Sánchez-Pérez, a senior biochemistry researcher at CEBAS-CSIC, an agricultural research center in Spain.) "This mutation is very important because it's the mutation that allowed almond domestication."

My initial concern was what transitive deps it was pulling in, but the other answer to your question is the thing that most GH repos are good for: submitting bugs and submitting fixes

It is also good for finding out what the buffering story is, because I would want to know if I'm dragging in an unbounded queue into my app (putting memory pressure on me) or knowing that your service returning 503s is going to eat logs. The kind of thing that only looking at the source would say for sure because the docs don't even hint at such operational concerns

Anyway, the only reason I mentioned the dead link is because your PyPI page linked to GH in the first place. So if you don't intend people to think there's supposed to be a repo, then I'd suggest removing the repo link
As a pet. More of a pet than someone on UBI. I'm someone already experiencing the bad thing we worry might happen to someone on UBI—withdrawal of it.

Not the worst, unclear to me why this was a concern in the first place. Be cool to have UBI though.
> They even failed in making their version of a shuttle.

Nitpick: It was sort of successful. They built a shuttle, and it successfully flew a single (un-crewed) mission of a couple orbits. The collapse of the USSR / lack of funding killed it.
Is there any reason this won't eventually be commoditized?

The retail cost (low end) for lifepo4 batteries is $125/kWh, and for hybrid inverters it's $175/KW, thanks to decades of Wright's Law.

Currently Pila is $625/kWh, but what is stopping it (or clones) from being $200-400/kWh eventually? Their high prices are probably temporary artefacts of (1) lack of current scale, (2) premium due to UI/brand/lack of competition. But markets will catch up.

If the price does drop to that level then it's a big deal because you don't have to pay labor installation costs, which is a large proportion of total costs for end consumers.

The main question I'd have at that point is about electrical and fire safety relative to the standard setup.

Forgive me for doing this, but I used an LLM to find that. They’re exceptionally useful for disambiguation tasks like this. Knowing what an acronym refers to is very useful for next token prediction, so they’re quite good at it. It’s usually trivial to figure out if they’re hallucinating with a search engine.

Isn't this what Trump is trying to rectify now?
Especially in the 80s and 90s Microsoft sold tons to consumers, and advertised to them too. The OEM model didn't come later. And even then, it wasn't quite as black/white and still sold (and advertised) to consumers. "All windows sales in history were by strong arming OEM" is just making stuff up.
The real business model here is to sell these at a loss and build up an install base to aggregate them into a "virtual power plant" that can provide large-scale distributed power source/sink capability and sell access to that to utilities. That's why it's got cellular connectivity for which they are preemptively footing the bill (you wouldn't do that without good reason).
Did you consider using homeplug, IEEE 1901, or some other network over powerline standard? I imagine it being more reliable if they're all behind the same breaker.
India didn't have close ties, it successfully took advantage of its neutrality to benefit from both sides of the cold war.
That's pretty much what mine are. Some off-top-of-head rambling that sometimes reveals larger-scale stuff because the manager has other context, some "perf this year is likely to focus on X, please do that" reminders, some "getting exhausted by X, would prefer to not do it, what numbskull even came up with this".

It's for stuff that doesn't tend to come up in other ways, because there aren't jira tasks for mood. We skip about half of them when nothing in particular stands out for that week.
I personally remember sh*tting on doordash...what a stupid idea.

Even with notifications turned off, everytime you open your phone and scroll past the M section on your phone they get free advertising. It may not seem like a big deal, but once you start seeing the gross incentives and manipulation so many of these companies do you begin to notice.

Thanks for the suggestion. It looks like 100Ah LiFePo4 batteries are pretty easy to find too.
Also, thanks to @dang for keeping the community in-line with the rules/guidelines.
> Yemen, which is doing a humanitarian intervention to help the Gazans.

Firing rockets indiscriminately at ships is not even in the same planet as humanitarian intervention.
Are the batteries COTS units? In 10 years when they fail, can I get new ones from Grainger or Amazon or wherever and replace them?
So not to be mean, but EcoFlow's website for a similar (slightly higher capacity) product has much lower times for how long it can power. For example, it claims 14h for a refrigerator (you're claiming 32) and 97h for a router, while you're claiming 132 hours.

Now they might be conservative and you could maybe advertise a bit more liberal times but if you're competition claims their (almost identical) product has substantially lower times people might question that. Obviously EcoFlow is your real competition here and people are going to go check them out.

So by all means claim somewhat better times ;) but maybe not as much as you are.

Don't get me wrong though, you have a cool product and there's definitely room in that space for more options!

I agree, 1.6kWh is a good bit of energy during an outage. Get the expansion pack & you get 3.2kWh. My house, most of my consumption is large loads. If I just needed essentials backed up, this would be perfect. Fridge, Starlink, and phone.
I don't think it's ready yet and I think it might be private at the moment, Cyrille can comment more on it.

Labor Market Dynamics Tighten Further. Job Openings, Quits, Hires Rise

And this is how Indian elections work.

The amount of data collection and analysis is insane. Election Consulting Companies like I-PAC and Showtime Consulting would gather extremely granular religious (sect level), ethnic (sub-clan level), age, linguistic (sub-dialect level), economic, and social metrics and poll on a near weekly basis, and work with the parties that hired them to iterate on electoral messaging and promises based on the selected demographic intersection.

These consulting firms also pay Microsoft and Google India level salaries so they are attracting the best of the best at top Indian universities.
When you figure it out, please do something about Gaza.
Fun fact. Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, using theodolites, plumb bobs, and spirit levels, were able to detect variations in gravity from the local environment in 1767. Upon completing the resurvey on the way back to Philadelphia, they noticed a systematic error and concluded it was because of gravitational deflection due to the Allegheny mountains (with the help of Maskelyne, Cavendish and the Royal Society).

Sometimes I think about that and it just blows me away.
Or, it’s a classic correlation != causation.
I can’t find that text in the announcement. In fact it sounds like you have to use a specific model with the chat completions endpoint to get web searches.
Interesting! This sounds like a surprisingly hard problem to me, from what I've seen of other infra teams.

Does that mean more "support rotations" for TS compiler engineers on GitHub? Are there full-stack TS apps that the TS team owns that ownership can be spread around more? Will the TS team do more rotations onto other teams at MSFT?

Hopefully I'm not nitpicking, "propaganda" in general form can be to
any purpose; rallying/unity, sapping morale, creating a scapegoat...
A lovely word for what your describing is "discombobulation" - sowing
seeds of fear, uncertainty, doubt (FUD), gaslighting and disorienting.
How do you handle disk errors and file mapping?

To give more context, if there is a disk error (logical, physical, etc.), an "fread" would simply return an error, it won't interfere with the rest.

But with memory mapped files, you have to deal this in someway. For example on Windows, through SEH (__try / __except) around blocks reading (or writing) to memory mapped files.

Just wondering...
No one is right here.

The West do try to control India through these institutions and rankings, and Indian government is trying to use that to hide some of their shortcomings.

Narrative controlling is necessary, but I hope the actual work is done too.
> It honestly has me questioning my default assumption to use JS runtimes on the server (e.g. Node, deno, bun).

The JS runtimes are fine for the majority of use cases but the ecosystem is really the issue IMO.

> the benefit of using the same code on the server/client has rarely if ever been a significant contributor to project maintainability for me

I agree and now with OpenAPI this is even less of an argument.
Is a robust citation each available for each of those related claims?

I'm not looking for dogmatic assertions, I mean the fundamental and reproducible papers proving those claims.

Because those are all in direct opposition with the parent. And two views of an issue will not be resolved by each claiming opposite dogma.

Hopefully someone can present the evidence. A textbook citation is not enough. Are there really controlled experiments showing these things? Or is it mostly theoretical? Is it time to ask what we know--are these "facts we have been taught", or have we looked into the scientific validity of the proofs with the criticality of a practicing scientist?

I think that very solid citations here would actually go a long way to inform the parent, but I doubt that anything short of that would do so.
