Yes, this wasn't economically feasible 10 years ago due to the rapid improvement in batteries, inverters, heat pumps for air conditioning and water heating, etc. I've been living off grid over 20 years but its only recently that its at least as good as a connected 200 amp grid power service with ample 220v for residential needs.

Please be careful. I'd love to adopt Dagger, but the UI in comparison to GHA, is just not a value add. I'd hate for y'all to go the AI route that Arc did... and lose all your users. There is A LOT to CICD, which can be profitable. I think there's still a lot more features needed before it's compelling and I would worry Agentic AI will lead you to a hyper-configurable, muddled message.
If I'm reading the pricing correctly, these models are SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than ElevenLabs.

https://platform.openai.com/docs/pricing

If these are the "gpt-4o-mini-tts" models, and if the pricing estimate of "$0.015 per minute" of audio is correct, then these prices 85% cheaper than those of ElevenLabs.

https://elevenlabs.io/pricing

With ElevenLabs, if I choose their most cost-effectuve "Business" plan for $1100 per month (with annual billing of $13,200, a savings of 17% over monthly billing), then I get 11,000 minutes TTS, and each minute is billed at 10 cents.

With OpenAI, I could get 11,000 minutes of TTS for $165.

Somebody check my math... Is this right?
Yea unlike other options this is actually scalable. The question isn't if 1 can outperform the Mac Studio but if 3-4 linked together can.
Is this right? The current best TTS from OpenAI uses gpt-4o-audio-preview which is $2.50 input text, $80 output audio, the new gpt-4o-mini-tts is $0.60 input text, $12 output audio. An average 5x price reduction.

Going the other way, transcribe with gpt-4o-audio-preview price was $40 input audio, $10 output text, the new gpt-4o-transcribe is $6 input audio and $10 output text. Like a 7x reduction on the input price.

TTS/Transcribe with gpt-4o-audio-preview was a hack where you had to prompt with 'listen/speak this sentence:' and it often got it wrong. These new dedicated models are exactly what we needed.

I'm currently using the Google TTS API which is really good, fast and cheap. They charges $16 per million characters which is exactly the same as OpenAI's $0.015 per minute estimate.

Unfortunately it's not really worth switching over if the costs are exactly the same. Transcription on the other hand is 1.6¢/minute with Google and 0.6¢/minute with OpenAI now, that might be worth switching over for.
> Trivial mistakes (formatting, unused deps, lint issues) should be fixed automatically, not cause failures.

Do people really consider this best practice? I disagree. I absolutely don't want CI touching my code. I don't want to have to remember to rebase on top of whatever CI may or may not have done to my code. Not all linters are auto-fixable so anyway some of the time I would need to fix it from my laptop. If it's a trivial check it should run as a pre-commit hook anyway. What's next, CI should run an LLM to auto-fix failing test cases?

Do people actually prefer CI auto-fixing anything?
The whole “mesh is the be all and end all of 3D modelling”

No one said this, it seems like you are making up fake questions and not dealing with the actual questions that the person you replied to asked.

You can view point clouds and you can warp them around, but working with them and tracing rays becomes a different story.

Once you need something as a jumping off point to start working with, point clouds are not going to work out anymore. People use polygons for a reason. They have flexible UVs, they can be traced easily, they can be worked with easily, their data is direct, standard and minimal.
I understand where you're coming from, I'm just saying there's been many companies I've worked for where protecting the user _was_ the most profitable play. And that's what we did. Yes, you're less likely to see it in bigger corporations with ecosystem lock-in (like Apple) because the math begins to sway towards exploiting users being more profitable.
it’s less ‘apple owners are supposed to have money,’ more ‘owners are dumb enough to part with it.’

Keyboards in aircraft instrumentation certainly do NOT predate electronic devices. Given that one-handed operation for instrumentation is almost always the primary mode of interaction, and instrument panels are really just face-plates on quite deep electronic device containers, the idea of a widescreen panel hole profile just to fit the input keys in a different format/aspect ratio does not make sense.

Some of the most interesting aviation research in the past few decades have been around human factors like psychology, perception, and cognition. If there was some substantial effect to having the buttons be arranged in a different pattern, I do legitimately hope it would have been found by now.

Do keep in mind these devices are cost-prohibitive in the extreme to design, build, and certify. The idea of having separate, parallel processes in order to have a different button layout between regional devices creates a thousand headaches of its own, both before and after production. The issue goes even further, in that just the FAA alone requires simulators of these aircraft to have replicated button look and feel criteria that would make your head spin. Is there even going to be a question as to if you're going to have to have two simulators? Will type-ratings be transferrable? Will there be separate differences training and/or currency requirements between the two distinct input methods?

Some or even most of those answers might turn out favorably for manufacturers or operators or pilots. But just having to ask them drives costs up considerably.
Thank you, this seems very promising! :)
Kagi Assistant allows you to do search with LLM queries. So far I feel it bears reliable results.
For instance - I tried couple of queries for product suggestions and came back with some good results. Whilst it’s a premium service , I find the offering to be of good value.
The longer I've been in the workforce, the more I realize most humans actually kind of suck at their jobs. LLMs being more human like is the opposite of what I want.
Which is nice since when I added my family I had to hand-hold to make sure they paid that 1-time fee and didn't sign up for Plex Pass by accident.
I think simply considering it a pilot program resolves this apparent contradiction.

Another view is that one of the few idealogical commitments of this administration is global bullies doing favors for each other. It's not totally clear to me which direction the favor lies in this one, but I think both sides expect it to be returned at some point.

Ask HN: Is developing on Mac via Remote View doable long term?
I want to make a couple of my games / apps on iOS but have never owned a mac. I do most of my programming at cafes and have a linux laptop from a couple years ago with 64GB RAM / 1TB SSD so it's still got plenty of life in it.

The options for around 24-32GB RAM and 1TB SSD:
1) New Mac mini ~1K USD
2) New Macbook air ~2k USD

The new air seems like it would fit best for how I like to use computers (not at home), but the price is pretty hard for me to justify when my apps/games are not money makers.

So I was thinking of buying the mac mini and using remote view. I already have a home server setup and am comfortable safely exposing the mac mini to be remotely accessible, maybe could even use it to run various other projects I have.
But I'm less sure on how well this works. I regularly SSH into my home servers and even from various countries the ping is fine, on the command line.

I'm less sure how the ping is for remote viewing? I was thinking that maybe using a mouse / typing with the full GUI might be pretty taxing, I know how even just a little ping with typing can get surprisingly frustrating.

Has anyone developed like this? Is it doable for working hours on a project?
Double check your memory bandwidth numbers. AMD's Strix Halo is 256 bits at 8000MT/s for about 238GB/s while NVIDIA's GB10 is 276GB/s (likely 256 bits at the more standard speed of 8533MT/s).

> I the human want the data from that request. I am using a tool to get it for me.

Isn't this a bit of an oversimplification, though? Especially when the tool you're using completely alters the relationship between the content author and the reader?

I hear this argument often: "it's just another tool and we've always used tools". But would you acknowledge that some tools change the dynamics entirely?

> Should I not be able to execute curl to download a webpage because the "understanding that humans generally operate browsers"?

Executing curl to download a webpage is nothing new, and compared to a traditional browser, has about the same impact. This is still drastically different than asking an AI agent to gather information and one of the pages it happens to "read" is the one you were previously navigating to with a browser or downloading with curl.

If you're a content creator who built a site/business based on a pre-LLM understanding of the dynamics of the ecosystem, doesn't it seem reasonable to see these types of "readers" differently?

It's especially galling to me. I'm libertarian. If you communicated the Trump 2024 platform back in time to me in 2012, I'd be stoked that many of these issues were finally being talked about. I wanted to be having honest conversations about decentralizing federal power to the states, reducing monetary inflation and no longer taking being the world reserve currency for granted, dismantling the DEI-HR industrial complex, etc. But cheering to demolish the plane while you're still flying on it is just a special kind of stupid.

So really, it's the age-old political dynamic where frustrations with the current system are used as fuel for the next round of destruction, looting, and centralizing of power. It's why the Trump appointees are a menagerie of malcontents. Each has achieved popularity from criticizing the status quo on their own pet topic, but without constructive solutions. And now they don't need to actually agree on anything apart from the need to butcher our institutions.
> This means the leading UI for LLMs - the chat - is the wrong UI

For coding, I'd agree. But seemingly people use LLMs for more than that, but I don't have any experience myself. But I agree with the idea that we haven't found the right UX for programming with LLMs yet. I'm getting even worse results with Aider, Cursor and all of those, than just my approach outlined above, so that doesn't seem like the right way either.
This is equivalent to asking: how many powers of 2 are there such that all digits except the leading digit are 5 or greater?

The powers of 2 with a single even digit are just those double those numbers (i.e., the next higher power of 2).
My point is I don't think people buying houses at current prices are doing it with wage income, even from very high-income jobs.
OpenROAD Initiative: Democratize chip design, the open-source way
With net metering going away now people want batteries for self consumption, then the grid becomes a backup.

In my area we still have net metering but the grid tends to go down a lot with even a mild storm, so many have backup propane generators, however some like me are doing whole house solar with batteries for backup instead, it cost 3x as much but pays you back over time with little maintenance compared to a generator.

I will admit there is a prepper aspect, with well and septic and solar the only thing I need is food which I can try and grow. The Sol-Ark inverter in my install even offers EMP hardening which I almost went for :).

Getting grid hookup in rural property can be expensive or impossible depending on where you are at, solar with satellite internet means no problem wherever you want to build if done right.

> Those high tariffs kick in only after the US has hit a certain Trump-negotiated quantity of tariff-free dairy sales to Canada each year – and as the US dairy industry acknowledges, the US is not hitting its allowed zero-tariff maximum in any category of dairy product.

1. The USMCA was agreed upon in 2020, but it has largely not taken effect yet as ratification is scheduled for 2026. So the "Trump negotiated" claim is false right out of the gate. Any terms Trump negotiated have not even taken effect yet. We're still under the NAFTA terms.

2. These quotas are very low. The new increased quota scheduled for 2026 is 3.6%. What does this mean? It means for dairy products, the U.S. can only export as much dairy product into Canada until it reaches 3.6% of Canada's total dairy market share. After that, you see 160-300% tariffs applied to those dairy products.

3. The claim that the U.S. is not hitting its dairy tariff maximum is true, but again, this is misleading. The reason for this is that Canada is granting such a small portion of their dairy market to the U.S. (3.6%) that it isn't worthwhile for many U.S. dairy producers to even bother. This is by design. If you can't compete with the other 96.4% of the market without seeing your goods being slapped with up to 300% tariffs, why would you?

> In 2015, the three top dairy imports into Canada were specialty cheeses, milk protein concentrates (MPCs) and whey products. The largest suppliers into Canada were the United States, New Zealand, France and Italy.

That should tell you something? Dairy producers are only exporting specialized dairy products into Canada, including non U.S. ones.

4. The U.S. isn't the only country with a problem with Canada's tariffs. [0]

> Ten dairy industry organisations, including the Dairy Companies Association of New Zealand (DCANZ) and other dairy industry leaders from the US, EU, Argentina, Australia, and Mexico, co-signed a letter to request that their governments intervene in ending Canada's "new and harmful" 'Special Milk Class 7' mechanism by potentially entering a complaint through the WTO's Dispute Settlement System (DSS), a process which could take several years to conclude.

This is just one of many disputes Canada's trading partners have had regarding Canada's protectionist tariff policies.

One advantage of being a US citizen. If I'm entering the country and they want to see my phone, I can tell them to get lost. Worst they can do to me is hold me briefly and confiscate my phone for a while. That would be annoying and costly but not a particularly big deal.

I can't do that when entering any other country, of course, but they seem to be much less likely to try it.

The Burnout Machine
No, I did not forget.

First of all, 1584 years of CPU time is not that bad.. if your university has a lab of 200 computers, each with 64 cores, that's already 45 days. If there is SETI-like system which lets researchers run their code on idle PCs, the calculation like this might get finished in a few months. Don't underestimate amount of idle compute sitting around in large organizations.

Second, while you can use naive algorithm (generate number, use something like GMP to convert to decimal, find odd digit), there are some pretty trivial optimizations. The OEOIS comments mention most numbers have odd values in last few digits, so in most cases, all you need to do is to calculate (2^n mod 100000000) and check that there is an odd digit there. Only if if there is not (which should be pretty rare) then you pull out that GMP and start do full check.

But wait, there is more! 2^(10^10) is a single binary 1 followed 9999999999 binary zeros, so it seems stupid to waste gigabytes of memory bandwidth storing all that zeros, and you don't need a result either. Implementing your own custom division algorithm specialized for those numbers will let you have tight loop with almost no memory accesses - something that modern CPUs do very fast. I would not be surprised if you can even get GPU to do it for you.

There could be more opportunities for improvement.. For example, I suspect the internal state of that division algorithm might end up being periodic, in which case you'd be able to quickly come up with an answer without having through go to every digit. But even if that's not possible, the optimization will make this problem pretty tractable.

Bridge to Sicily: a strategic project for Italy or a waste of resources?
GUI frameworks have done accessibility and consistency better than browsers (which includes layouts, font rendering, etc) for decades. The browsers are literally just inner platforms that take the capabilities available in the GUI framework, and make it available through a set of API (javascript), content (HTML) and styling (CSS). Moving applications from browser tech to GUI framework tech doesn't throw anything away because GUI frameworks embed widgets that are browser windows (https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtwebengine-overview.html)

I wanted to love webassembly, but each time I've looked into it, it places significant constraints on the application developer in terms of networking, file systems, and many other things that I consider to be table stakes for modern application development. Similar to Web GPU support, it's just another inner platform with a bunch of restrictions that prevent me, as an experienced developer, from using high quality GUI frameworks and all the nice things that OSes have developed over the decades.

Retrace Extension: A Pensieve for the Internet
Right! Good points for optimism here, and acknowledging broken mental models.

We have silicon solar modules in the 1950s, Moore's law in the 1960s. Another take on the question then: today we use Moore's law to describe progress in solar modules, to what extent was that realization possible in the 1960s from the fundamentals, or "first principles"?

If it was clear, why did we not see rapid prioritization of solar and energy storage technology research? Or did we and I don't know the actual history? Or what influences am I undervaluing or not recognizing?

If it wasn't clear, why not? Gaming out many positive impacts of solar technology feels easy today in a way it appears was not easy in the past. Why wasn't it clear in the past?

My entire line of commenting has been based in:

Prove fraud.

The post I originally replied to accused fraud. There is a legal definition of fraud - so prove it.

Everything you're going on about has nothing to do with fraud, and is 100% irrelevant since its not about evidence of fraud.

I mentioned morality of loopholes because to me your question looked like some sort of end-run around providing evidence of fraud. That's also why I clearly stated the difference between my opinions and the legal factuality.

Prove the claimed fraud.

If you want the law changed, that's fine - convince congress to do it. Even if the law changes, fraud must be proved under the laws that were relevant when the allegedly fraudulent event occurred.

So again - prove fraud (hint, i doubt you can no matter what your feelings are).
