I also own an EV. Mine is a Seik MG4 (long range) - a Chinese beastie with an old school British marque slapped on it. I went to school in Abingdon, Oxon, which is where the Morris Garage comes from. My car didn't!

There is a standard for range - WLTP - does the US subscribe to it? The W stands for Worldwide.

My car has a WLTP range of 323 miles. I've managed better than that. The standard itself is pretty decent and far better than the old one.

EVs are different to ICEs. Mind you they are both pretty efficient at around 50mph - funny that. EVs hate cold but if you pre-heat the battery, then its not so bad. An ICE can always have a bigger tank and you can easily pop a 15l can in the boot (trunk) to grab an extra 50 miles or so. EVs don't have that flexibility.

However, I pay 7p per KWh to charge my car and I fuel up at home instead of at Tesco. My "tank" costs about £5 and I can get about 300 miles out of it.

My other car (Renault Clio) costs about £70 at the moment (it has been far worse) to fuel up and I'll get roughly 700 miles out of it.

In Europe I think that EV vs !EV is almost certainly won but I do get that in the Americas, where it can get proper chilly at times and the distances involved can be huge means that an EV might not be indicated without a lot of caveats. EVs mostly do cost more too for the initial purchase, which isn't helpful.

Despite all that, do note I routinely pay roughly £5 for 300 miles, and I don't have to piss around with garages. My car plugs into my house!
Whenever I read theories like this, I am saddened that we don't live in such a utopia where eg the US (and Russia etc) have perhaps some weird and questionable goals, but go about achieving them rationally and efficiently.

100% agree.

The discussion has been underwhelming:

I read TFA and wasn't sure what to even make of it.
It's interesting you bring up the Sino-Soviet split.

I would argue that Trump has inflicted the same thing on NATO. Atlantic relations are at an all time low. Putin will be delighted.
I have my own and I don't even like eggs that much. I do however like their noises, and for pest control, so I keep getting new birds.

> if you're mathematically literate

No insults, please. I'm sure that if you have good arguments, you won't need to resort to that kind of attitude. And the fact that you're resorting to swearing later in your comment doesn't help you.

> If the highest rate of weight loss is some rate R

That's not a valid precondition. Nobody chooses a rate to lose weight at, and then magically chooses some proportion of fat vs muscle. What actually happens is that you lose fat through eating less calories, and you naturally lose muscle from using your leg muscles less by putting less weight on them, because you weigh less.

> No where did I suggest this.

You did. You literally said:

> This notion of "balanced" healthy muscle is one you've made up

You are arguing that one should preserve all of the leg muscle for a 300 lb body, even once you're 180 lbs. Again, that's absurd. That's going to take a far disproportionate amount of time at the gym on your legs to maintain. You say "No leg emphasis needed." That's completely and utterly false.

You are talking about bulking and cutting for strength training. But you already have a balanced body, I'm assuming. This conversation, on the other hand, is about obese people losing weight. Their muscles are disproportionately in their legs. Do you get that now? Do you understand the concept of a balanced distribution of muscle and strength, e.g. between arms and legs? Or since you're so concerned about having a conversation at a "middle school" level, do you need it explained in even simpler terms?
In related news, wltp range estimates today are even worse than epa estimates back then.

And the EPA standards have changed since then, so that newer Teslas are much closer to their rated ranges than they were back then.

Kind of weird to see this here now.
Multi-polarity isn't anti-fragility. Multi-polarity is bad with no redeeming qualities, you get more war and more nuclear proliferation.
A ham technician license is pretty easy to obtain in the US, and a handheld radio can be had for cheap. HF takes a little more hardware though.
The Salvadoran government did have a "thou shalt accept this" policy, in addition to exempting bitcoin holdings from capital gains tax. It worked to drive initial interest, with a quarter of Salvadorans using Bitcoin for at least some transactions in 2021, but adoption fell sharply over time. I haven't studied it in depth, but my vague understanding is that many businesses couldn't actually figure out how to practically accept Bitcoin despite being theoretically required to.
I think that was true at some point in his life, but these days he regularly and deliberately torches billions of dollars just to make a point on principle.

> once you accept the cold hard reality that justice comes from the bottom up, not the top down

Justice, morals and—in my opinion—rights, yes. Even the right of the law to rule, yes. But the arbitration of the law? The particulars of its execution. No.

If the system of law is corrupted, you have to throw out the whole government. That’s why the attacks on our judiciary are so frightening. It’s really difficult to unfuck the rule of law.
I meant that it made it's money off Google Search. A search engine company paid it. I apologize if it was confusing to anyone.

So, the fact that they're paid to support Google Search means Chrome being divested shouldn't hurt them. The only exception I could see is if they had to pay the new owner of Chrome like that, didn't add anything to the budget, and split it between the two. That's pure speculation, though.
> that theanine works slowly — over the course of a few days, not hours

This was my experience. I'm not sure if that's "typical", although I've never really tried to take it like that.
Not if the "volatility" is in the upward direction.
The fastest thing I would think is to process 255 vectors at a time, using an accumulation vector with the k-th byte in the vector representing the # of evens seen for the k-th byte of the vectors in that 255-vector chunk. But, I don’t know how to make autovectorization do that. I could only do that with intrinsics.
"gasselized"? We're not seeing "gassel" come up in any search related to demurrage. What word are you referring to?
Including current POTUS and their family :)
I think they have some interest in operating quasi-legally, at least for now. It reduces resistance, especially among those receiving the orders. They haven’t had time to purge the entire military leadership yet, just the ones at the top. If they want to act soon, they need it to look at least kinda legal.

Again, idk where this is going, it’s way up in the air as far as I’m concerned, I am just looking at what I see happening, and I see a request for reports on whether it’s appropriate to invoke the insurrection act, and I look at why he might want that now, and I see the promised mass deportations and what he’s done with trying to extort Adams into enforcing immigration law in NYC, and this is what I come up with. I think he wants it for bodies to help carry out deportations, and to at least threaten cities with soldiers on the streets to get them to do it some of the work for him. Beyond that? God, who knows.
Sponsoring a paper or two a year at ETH Zurich is not really the same thing as technical innovation and risk taking being an integral part of their company's success.

I understand your point of view and I do agree that with the current state of affairs I am kind of OK. It's useful for me, and I am still needed.

But seeing the progress and adoption, I wonder what will happen when that valuable skill (how to think about a big system, etc) will also be replicated by AI. and then, poof.
They are allowed to advertise lower numbers than the EPA, and are also allowed to use different tests. Tesla typically uses the test that is most favorible to their own range rating.

Some other manufacturers go to a lot of effort to make sure that they aren't overstating things (eg, Porsche), but you are right that this isn't the norm.
> The sacrifice is that you can't use 40% of what's supposedly the range.

I do it all the time, just not every day. Going skiing? Set the car to charge in the morning. 40 minutes at 90%+ isn't going to hurt anything.

I think you've badly misunderstood that warning.
Us cull numbers in 2024 were between 130mm and 180mm depending on who is saying the numbers.

But I heard our flock numbers in that period were 10 times that. So I'm not sure what to think.

I do know it was easy to get chicks this year, so that confused me even more.

Perhaps the lack of grocery eggs was because they were incubated instead?

I don't know.
I fully support what you’re saying. It does not line up with my experience with pro-Palestinian protestors in New York City. (Or ACAB/Defund the Police before it. Same problem, in my opinion.)
It is weird. Jobs was divisive and (not infrequently) abrasive, and why would you miss a tech billionaire anyway? Yet I also feel indebted to him and to the folks at Apple who helped to produce some of my favorite products like the Mac, the iPod, and the iPad.

Jobs also said a lot of things that still resonate with me. Recently Apple introduced a "classic Mac" screensaver that shows how carefully designed the original Mac GUI was. I'm sure nobody misses the days when app bugs could crash the OS, but I wish Apple were as obsessive now about detail now as they were back then.

I wouldn’t have seriously asked him for a selfie while we were both trying to get through passport control after a 12-hour flight. It’s just a little bit of a bummer that I have no way of confirming that I actually did randomly run into Donald-Freaking-Knuth in the Munich airport. Doubly so because most people who I relate this story to have absolutely no clue who Donald-Freaking-Knuth even is, so it’s just completely lost on them.
That is underwhelming! (But also.. that's *this* discussion.. and the other discussion is already linked by GP.. so I'm not really sure what you're aiming for here)
I know what you mean but I don't see it positive either. If each engineer is now a startup, it will be extra complicated to make money.

Mining does not need to be incentivizes nearly as much as it is right now for bitcoin to still function as p2p cash.
My time to shine! I still own an early square body truck with the 6.2L Detroit Diesel. The thing that stands out to me in this article is that the Suburbans shown are an earlier generation produced from 67-72. Those did not have a Diesel engine, however the 6.2L Detroit Diesel was designed to drop into anything with a Small Block Chevy, so I can see how these may have been retrofitted. In fact, these engines are still produced today in 6.5L form (see the AM General Optimizer) and are used in the HMMWV.

These really are very simplistic engines and simplistic vehicles in general. Mine has power nothing, at least electronically. The shifter really is comically large and very inconvenient to whoever sits in the middle. The highest gear is third gear.

Powerful? No, not really. But surprisingly efficient for the size. Reliable as well.
Amino Acid therapy requires an empty stomach, and the postulated effects usually require larger doses. But that would blow up his experiment design. Also there can be time of day widows for efficacy. Science has gotten far with lock and key receptor models. But some of this stuff can be sensitive to time and cofactors, beyond genetic and epigenetic individual variance.
1987 E30 owner - even after getting the mold out during a restore, and in spite of a crack in the bolstering, the E30 sport seats are the _second_ most comfortable I've had the pleasure of owning. The seats in these old cars definitely have something up on modern leather seats, even its 27-years-older brother (4-series) that I drive daily.

The champion in that department, though, was the 1986 Volvo 740 that I briefly owned. Those seats were perfect in nearly every way.

How do you do this? Taxes? Increase worker salaries? Government funded health care?

Access to cheap labor is what really drives economies. Market forces are what drive labor salaries. More people cheaper labor.

It used to be in the 60s, 70s, and to some extent the 80's a single wage earner was enough in a family. By the end of the 80's it became clear that 2 wage earners was how people got ahead in life.
Nitrogen melting point. Essentially the highest low temperature at which you can cheaply do supercold stuff.
The "stability in CPI" after the gold depeg in the 70s is also when wages stopped growing in real terms. Most "wealth creation" since that date is on paper.

The CV1800B on the original 64 MB Milk-V Duo does not have an Arm core. It is otherwise very similar to the 256 MB and 512 MB SG2000 chips (Sophgo bought CVITECH, so the CV -> SG is just a rename)

Well, R1 is runnable locally for under $2500; so I guess you could pool money and share the cost with other people that think they need that much power, rather than a quantized model with fewer parameters (or a distil).

Show HN: Retrace Extension – A Better Bookmarks Manager
Retrace Extension is more than just a bookmark Manager. It offers the ability to save, store, organize, and manage specific pieces of online content including text, images, website pages, and YouTube videos. Each piece of content you save becomes a "Trace", which can be assigned to different groups, starred, archived, appended with additional notes, and searched easily within the Retrace dashboard. When a Trace is re-clicked in the dashboard, Retrace sends you directly back to the website or video and auto-scrolls to bring you precisely back to where you left off.

How so? Isn’t this just the xkcd authorization model?

https://xkcd.com/1200/

I tried to read the article, and know what all the words mean (sel4, enclaves, virtualization primitives, etc.).

It all seems very complicated and error prone, but I couldn’t figure out what the attack model is, or what the security objectives are.

Eg, what sorts of things run in exclaves, and under what circumstances will a persistent kernel level compromise on my laptop protect those things?
You just described the symptom of a problem.
You can repeat that narrative all you want but it was always a bad one and became really stale, really fast.

Observing regions, countries and comparing when they didn't perform the hygiene theater really showed your measures had little effect (as expected). The fudging of numbers and bad faith also made things hard to argue.

The fact that you're all about republicans wanted to murder Americans shows how deranged you are. You must have been very happy with Cuomo's Emmy or Grammy or whatever it was, while he actually got a beautiful number of deaths that he absolutely "didn't want or cause".

It's time you accept what was obvious all along. The elephant repellent in Texas wasn't repelling elephants.
Show HN: A full open-source Choose Your Own Adventure generator (cyoa.dev)
Hey HN!

Ivan and I (Tim) from Essence VC been working on a new open source project to build a new Choose Your Own Adventure story generator, that creates each story with images, storyline, music, etc.

We built the project using Restate.dev (a new durable framework) for the story workflow, Modal for running the diffusion models, AWS S3 for storage, etc. The whole project is done in Python as well.

Love to have you try it out and also fork the project and see if you want to continue building stuff around it. Our goal is to learn how simple or hard is it to build this, but also have a playground to make something fun as well :)
That seems like a steal? Engineers are paid much more to do much less
This is why we have AGPL and GPLv3. You can TiVoize the kernel, but you have to provide the user land, at minimum.

In a MIT only world, you would have no source of anything. So not only you can’t build a signature-free version of the kernel for educational purposes, you can’t even have it.

This is a corporation paradise.

I think what the GP is saying is that it never stops with losing some territory. In particular, "some Ukrainian territory" is not what Russia wants. They may settle for it for now (like they sort of did with Eastern Donbas in 2014), but sooner or later they'll come for more. Yes, even after they have all of Ukraine, they will come for more. Look up Russia's ultimatum of Feb 2022. Or the appeasement of Hitler at the onset of WW2. Or just watch some Russian TV... just kidding, I wouldn't hoist that upon anybody :)
The sensitivity can be turned up or down. It's why we are asking for input. If you're talking about the Disney EULA, it has the context that it is a browsewrap agreement. The setting for material omission is very greedy right now, and we could find a happy middle.

I agree that not everyone wants to be. I think OPs point though is the market will make “not being a prompt engineer” a niche like being a COBOL programmer in 2025.

I’m not sure I entirely agree but I do think the paradigm is shifting enough that I feel bad for my coworkers who intentionally don’t use AI. I can see a new skill developing in myself that augments my ability to perform and they are still taking ages doing the same old thing. Frankly, now is the sweet spot because the expectation hasn’t raised enough to meet the output so you can either squeeze time to tackle that tech debt or find time to kick up your feet until the industry catches up.
