I think there's a difference between Microsoft refusing to support completely operational hardware for their new OS, and Apple not adding extra features / support into a pre-existing product just because the underlying tech is now more powerful.

It sounds weird, but going OS #1 -> OS #2, you don't expect your hardware to impact it from a computer point of view. But going from iPad #1 -> iPad #2, why would it all of a sudden have a completely different OS and support when iPad #1 is even still receiving updates?

We've reached the age where you need 16GB ram to even keep some tabs open on Mac + Windows, and in terms of versatile computing and gaming I think cloud-based Linux really is the answer. Once it comes time for my next gaming computer upgrade, I'm pretty confident with just using a game streaming platform vs. paying $500 for a new graphics card + anything else (since my current MB doesn't support Windows 11...). Same goes for coding, just connect the IDE to your dedicated cloud box and away you go, all the power and scale you could ever need from $10/mo and up.
From the viewpoint of hardware, Apple is unbeatable right now. The Apple Studio has NVIDIA on the back foot because, even though the price of the Apple Studio is eye-popping, a NVIDIA-based AI "workstation" that could handle LLMs the size the Studio can would cost 10x, fill a good part of a rack, and sound like a helicopter taking off.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Yes, our product shares a similar concept, but we're expanding its capabilities with advanced features like voice detection for interactive Q&A and real-time debugging, all at a lower cost.

We're also hope to push the interview process back to a more authentic, in-person experience. :)
Bluey is easily the best children's TV. I mean I'd barely class it as children's TV; it's good by adult standards.

It's a bit annoying really because there isn't anything else like it at all. I would say the closest things are Pixar films which manage to appeal to adults and children. I'm not aware of any TV like that though. Apart from Bluey we're stuck with trash like Paw Patrol, Bing, Blippi, etc.

There are a small number that are not extremely annoying, but you still wouldn't actually want to watch them: Gabby's Dollhouse, Puffin Island, maybe Hey Duggee.
The hard part of BI is application developers not wanting to support a stable data model and changing the schema all the time, often made harder by BI people not knowing what they want and being stuck with a brittle integration.

Add analytics reporting views in your app database as the 'API' is the way.
Is Worth to Master Haskell?
Haskell seems to be a super interesting language to learn, but I don't see many projects actually applying it (at least in my bubble). In your opinion, is it worth mastering, and for what reason?

I assume that the original performance profile of these tools was satisfactory to their creators, yet they still decided to rewrite them. I admire programmers who claim that their tools don't need to be maximally optimized. This is likely an attempt to justify the fact that their products aren't exceptionally performant either. Just take a look at the TIOBE rankings, and you'll see how many programmers hold a different view than you.

a block of countries is what makes them far less worrisome. They're too busy competing with each other - none is going to want the others spying on it's own citizens for gain.
It's a fallacy that multiple companies and governments need to be working on one thing at a time. We absolutely should be patching current vulnerabilities and implementing quantum-safe cryptography. There's no conflict between these goals.
Also, many start-ups seem to do fine without formal management structure up to 50 or more employees. The CEO / CTO is still coding, talking to customers, hiring, and making the product better.

Getting "all managery" in early stages seems like a huge misstep to me. The skills needed to successfully create a start-up are far more rare than those needed to be a good manager.

I think your mistaking programmer productivity with A.I that generates all the code for you allowing you to switch off your brain completely. prompt engineering code is not the same skill as programming and being good at it does not mean you actually understand how code or software works.
This is well within the bounds of affordability for a utility scale solar install, which is usually a 25 year lease of the land at ~$1000/acre/year. I’m unsure why you believe this is expensive for solar. At $12k/acre, I’ll take as much as I can get (assuming proximity to distribution or transmission lines, or commercially reasonable costs to extend that infra).
Just add strong types, with verification at something-like-compile-time, and you'll have a sane language.

> Aluminum is much lighter than steel and that cuts the amount of energy needed to move it around by about half.

Hmm. I'm suspicious about this - might be true for cars, definitely true for planes, but ships sit at neutral buoyancy, most of the mass is cargo, and the main component of energy expenditure is actually drag. So there's significant benefits to low drag hull designs or "slow steaming", but the actual ship material isn't terribly high up on the priority list. And aluminium is way more expensive.
A clearer way to understand this project is to look at their graduated proposals:

The goal is to take common web UI patterns that are good UI but require fiddly custom JS today, and get them standardized and into browsers.
> What am I missing here?

Climate change. Maybe you've heard of it?

(And it turns out things with LNG ships are much worse than previously believed. They not only emit CO2 - a bit less than traditional bunker fuel, but not much - they also emit methane, and in no small quantities. The LNG industry likes to pretend that these emissions are small and neglegible, but whenever someone goes out and actually measures them, they are substantial.)

Following up on this, I was unable to get it to do anything.

curl --show-error --get --request GET --user freeswitch:works "http://localhost:8080/${SIXTEEN_THOUSAND_RANDOM_CHARACTERS}"

Any ideas on triggering it? I imagine if we get a PoC that at least causes a segfault or whatever, they will be more likely to do a security release.

FWIW, the site doesn't claim to be. The OP mislabeled it as such.

It might help to compare it with going to the gym or for a run. In some sense this produces an immediate negative reaction: our muscles get sore and stiff, and we get out of breath. But we still do it perhaps because we feel better afterwards, or because it helps our long term physical health.

Likewise, deliberately experiencing sad (or otherwise) emotional states has both short term and long term positive outcomes. In the short term we feel a sense of catharsis, and perhaps reassured that our feelings are relatable. In the long term we feel more in touch and less overwhelmed by our emotions.
So in my case they are momentary voltage drops. It can accept 81-145V and will throw an error and turn off outside of that. It used to happen a lot, but there have been recent improvements, and it has only happened once in the last couple months.

And yeah, configuring priority by plug is basically how my current system works. These ones turn off at 50%, these ones at 25% and this one goes all the way until the end. As long as there is a plan to do something along those lines, that fits the use case.

An important feature for me would be 3rd party replacement batteries. Ideally I want to be able to go up to Batteries+ / Interstate Battery / whatever local battery place and pick up a replacement. All my current UPSs are Lead Acid and I can just go up the street and get a new one. If its using something like a standard deep cycle marine battery that I can pull out and swap for a new one, then I would be interested. If its totally proprietary and I have to rely on you still making them in 5-10 years when I need a new one, then it is far less interesting.

And yeah, there are the 4 outlets on the main device. I was referring to the accessories on the Tech Specs page. I know they aren't out yet. Just expressing interest in more plugs. Something with 3 doesn't really do much for me. I have something like 8-10 plugs here at my desk. And a similar amount in the living room. One with 3 plugs on it only nets you 2 additional plugs. It would be a huge mess.
Peer to peer sharing doesn't really have much opportunity for commercialization. The closest thing I can think of is bluetooth file sharing, which can still be a painful experience in some circumstances
Possibly but right now you're being guided to whatever information makes the most ad revenue. A choice of two compromised mechanisms might be better than none.
Yeah, I would, as long as the $ went to just the web browser.
This was the first place I worked at. The platform team became more and more insular and detached and more and more convoluted. As a result, things got harder to add on and soon they were telling the implementation teams that the features that the clients were requesting couldn't possible be needed. Million dollar contracts but no, you don't need to be able to put links into text blocks, that's a stupid feature and the client can't possibly want it.
I haven't designed any CPUs myself, someone with more experience could give you more details.

But I don't think this carries much weight anymore, might have been true way back in the days.

C gives you more control, which means it's possible to go faster if you know exactly what you're doing.
The profits aren't the point. The questions that Europeans are asking themselves as shown in the featured article is how far away they are from independence from an untrustworthy trading partner.

I thought LNG was methane. What am I missing here?

I guess Bose QuietComfort (hinted at by the bold font). These are ON ear headphones. Not ideal for me personally. These will hurt after an hour or so depending on your ears I guess. I prefer the Sleepbuds II (see below also)
If it's already essentially paying for them then .... what is the difference if they get it via Google or directly?
Wireheading humanity into population collapse via pervasive sexual hyperstimuli (which is realistically what is on the table here) is basically the definition of "harmful".

This is just silly because it only takes one AI company to defect and start enabling it, and the problem is already pretty bad even without AI.

I think all of the solutions are demand-side, not supply side. I would expect differential reproductive rate trends between populations with and without proscriptions on ersatz reality consumption (i.e. aniconist Muslims, Mennonites, etc.) to accelerate
Performance boosts and metrics I do intend to look into, in particular acceleration structures (probably a BVH?) for the ray tracer and more optimized methods (e.g. a better scanline triangle fill and some clipping algos) for the rasterizer.

As for portability, not sure yet, this is meant to more or less be a rendering/animation engine that is lightweight, probably portable to embedded processors like ESP32s?
Also, COBOL and FORTRAN. FORTRAN is still being developed and one of the languages supported as first class citizen by MPI.

There's a big cloud of hype at the bleeding edge, but if you dare to look beyond that cloud, there are many boring and well matured technologies doing fine.
A standard for UI will never work because UI is so closely tied to marketing of a product.

But the field sure needs a list of deadly sins.
Companies release uncensored models all the time. They're called "text" models. I just had llama3.2:3b-text-fp16 give me step by step instructions on how to make a pipe bomb.
It's also very mature, not so much of a moving target.

Both aspects are something I think many developers grow to appreciate eventually.
I’d assume they’re talking about methane leaks throughout the supply chain
Working on some rudimentary docs right now, the README might also be updated directly.
I don't consider things like crash logs and debug stuff to be telemetry. This can easily be dealt with by a popup saying "want to upload the crash log?". It can just be a text file with a bunch of data.

I'm fine with that.

Telemetry to me is knowing what I'm doing, like clicking a button, using a feature etc. They record that shit! Also, sending data about my websites back to the mothership so they can sell ads (or sell to ad companies... same thing).

That's what I mean when I talk about telemetry.
I don’t admit anything of the sort. They committed extrajudicial mass murder. Are the ones they killed drug dealers? Criminals? Random passersby? Without a proper trial you can’t tell.

The death penalty is already bad WITH proper trials, since judges can always get it wrong but this isn’t even that.
Put differently, the way you are arguing for it would enable anyone to kill you in cold blood and later claim you had it coming.
I can only speak for myself of course and for me it's bad because I don't need or want my browser to tell me what to think.
Compared to C I'd say the biggest issue is complexity, of which compile time is a consequence.

You're thinking of something like regular fuel oil, like diesel or kerosene. Heavy fuel oil/bunker is very viscous, has to be heated to be pumped efficiently.

Maybe this "backup" solution.. developed into commodity hardware as an affordable open source solution that keeps the model and code locally and private at all times is the actual solution we need.

Lets say a cluster of raspberry pi's / low powered devices producing results as good as claude 3.7-sonnet. Would it be completely infeasible to create a custom model that is trained on your own code base and might not be a fully fledged LLM but provides similar features to cursor?

Have we all gone bonkers sending our code to third parties? The code is the thing you want to keep secret unless your working on an open source project.
No you've got the gist of it: the point is that numbers for CO2 emissions of LNG assume a leak-free supply chain.

That's not possible in practice: LNG leaks at almost every single step, and monitoring of it has been inconsistent and poorly implemented. Add in the significantly higher greenhouse effect of methane in the atmosphere, and you lose essentially all the potential benefits (not to mention the ultimate issue of continuing to add sequestered CO2 back into the atmosphere - it's still a fossil fuel).
Petro (sic) only explodes in specific air-fuel situations

That seems to be true for ammonia as well, at least according to the Wikipedia page's [1] section on Combustion:

Ammonia does not burn readily or sustain combustion, except under narrow fuel-to-air mixtures of 15–28% ammonia by volume in air.

That doesn't sound too horrible, it feels like gasoline/petrol is easier to combust (although I know it's the fumes that are actually flammable).

Foam doesnt work against the noise here. Sleep buds plus Quiet Comfort on max works a bit lol
>Unlike solar cells or battery cells, I don't really see much chance for 'learning rates' and technology improvement to drastically drive down the cost of green ammonia. Falling electrolyser costs are nice, but they're only a portion of the process plant CAPEX, and the cost of the green electricity dominates the economics over the process plant CAPEX anyway. You could get electrolysers for free and still be unable to make cheap green ammonia. So for green ammonia to get adopted, a strong 'carbon price' needs to be in place, and I think that same strong carbon price would make biodiesel competitive.

There is a ton of research going into improving the efficiency of the H2 > NH3 conversion, and there are at least two startups (Tsubame in Japan and a new one I don't remember). There's no rule that says you can't beat Haber.

Compared to methanol, ammonia is currently more expensive but vastly more scalable in the long run; once you reach the biofuel "ceiling" (roughly corresponding to the availability of farming and forestry byproducts) you're stuck making it via carbon capture, which has its own efficiency problems.
While the Ireland famine was a political act, the main driver of most other famines in modern times tends to be economical rather than political which is the rebuttal I’m making to the claim that ever famine is political.
I’d say Miraculous is very French, in a good way. In that it doesn’t try to shield children from difficult adult subjects like death and grief and difficult parental relationships. We only do an hour or two of screen time a week right now (including for me and my wife), but Miraculous was a request for last week’s “movie night”.

Then we watch Severance when the kids go to bed and that’s it. Just like there’s junk shows for kids we’ve got junk shows for adults, and it’s hard to deny it to children when we don’t deny it for ourselves. The kids complain way less too when we’re like “well we’re all giving this stuff up”, because they have an innate sense of fairness.

Absolutely. I just tried Capacities app. I'm sure it can be very useful app, but the UI for completely clean project was already so bloated with headings and texts saying in all kind of ways basically "no data yet" that I felt so overwhelmed that I left it for another time. No feeling of separating different things, everything just thrown onto the page with so much wasted whitespace.

Ask HN: I lack imagination for electronics projects
I love to learn about programming, protocols, these or that technical specification, how to make things work, etc.

However, I not only lack imagination of what I could use this for in the real world, I also don't get a kick out of seeing the final thing.

It feels like learning/understanding is more fun than actually seeing the product.

I have dozens of embedded boards that I have used until they lost their novelty, never really put to "good" use.

At work, when people try to show us engineers what cool things users are doing with our stuff, I'm like "meh".

Anyone else like that? I wish I got more excited out of building things. How to fix this? A different perspective?
> The assembly code is filled with lots of questionable structures. In general, there are lots and lots of NOP instructions. Some are executed in the code flow, but most are used as padding between code sections.

That's common for machine code written without an assembler but typed directly into a hex monitor (don't know if Invaders was developed that way though). You kept a couple of nops in 'reserve' - usually after branches and returns - so that fixes can be applied without having to move the rest of the code around (which would mean retyping everything).
I like the Rust ADTs and the borrow checker, but I can't stand the syntax. I just wish it had Lisp syntax, but making it myself is far beyond my abilities.
this is cool, but it looks like a security posture nightmare XD
Have you asked the people who pay in the end (the taxpayer) if they want that?
The very last thing I want my taxes to go to is anything that has "no strings attached". Its by definition a gift and gifting taxes should be a crime.
I think long distance might be solvable too with a little out of the box thinking. Imagine ships could swap out batteries every few hundred miles. Think simple container batteries and some off shore wind park with facilities for charging container batteries and a stash of charged batteries. Floating off shore wind is now possible as well.

Containers might be a bit tedious for this. So, why not use autonomous tug boats and barges. The tug boats simply pull the load between charging stations. When they are empty they head for a charger and a full one takes over. This could even work with existing ships, which are commonly maneuvered around harbors using tug boats already.

Probably more than a few engineering challenges lurking here but it gets us out of the mindset that ships must be able to go for thousands of nautical miles without stopping for charging. I could see that working for a lot of coastal shipping routes.

They also don’t have the communication and process overheads and don’t have existing contracts that constrain how fast and where they can go. If smaller companies weren’t possibly to run more efficiently, you’d never see startups leapfrogging established players. Economies of scale are a strength and can also be a weakness (e.g. your economy of scale to do X means you can’t do Y which is more profitable / cheaper)
