I imagine most of us prefer to know that a real person is on the other side of an image, but I'm sure there are plenty of us who don't care. In any case, AI porn still has a certain vibe that is detectable.
Sure, fine. I think "stuck" is more accurate as stranded imo has an implication of there not being a concrete plan in action but thinking about it more my primary issue isn't the word choice but the blatant lies about plan and timelines from trump and musk.

> "The @POTUS has asked @SpaceX to bring home the 2 astronauts stranded on the @Space_Station as soon as possible. We will do so. Terrible that the Biden administration left them there so long." -Musk

> "I have just asked Elon Musk and SpaceX to ‘go get’ the 2 brave astronauts who have been virtually abandoned in space by the Biden Administration" -Trump

To say these things and then continue with the exact plan that has already been in place since September is absurd regardless of the accuracy of the wording.
The worst offender to me is Google Maps. I'm a native Spanish speaker but set my phone to English because I hate app translations. The problem is when I want to read reviews it automatically translates them from Spanish (my native language) to English. It doesn't make any sense!
That line of thinking only leads to a conclusion where you should already have fathered a few dozen children, as otherwise you're depriving them of any living conditions.
Claiming delay compensation if you don’t have intent to travel is the fraud part.

Easiest example is if you have a season ticket, but you have the day off. You weren’t going to take the train to work that day, so no intent to travel. If you claim DR, then that’s fraud for the compensation.
I think OP meant relative to the 70s.
I read online 10+ years ago the same comment that you’re writing right now. Wind and solar energy didn’t get widely implemented for good reasons that we can debate between citizens, they’re a scam here to profit some specific industry, to please the media and reduce feeling of ecologic guilt among some people
> It is physics, you can't just close the pipe and electricity stops flowing.

Rooftop solar power plants are physically able to stop producing, this requires some firmware changes so that they stop putting power into grid when someone orders them to. But there is no market or political will for such solution.
It's actually because they stayed compatible that the problem arises: fd and find -type mean the same but this user wants them to be different.

Overall, I use AI shell completion so it's much smoother.
It's amazing how many people don't know how hypocritical and self-serving each side is when it comes to speech and censorship.
In my experience during this last Trump campaign, the most effective way to rile conservatives is not to lie, but rather to tell the truth. Meaning, taking Trump at his word and repeating the words he said, in direct quotes.

I think what's happening is that a lot of his constituents like him due to his personality, but they don't necessarily believe he is honest. So, they're betting on his dishonesty and using that as a justification for their support. Meaning, supporting Trump is really not so bad if you assume Trump isn't going to do half the things he says he is. Then, it's like you're supporting an almost normal candidate.
There is inherent cost in such installation. And I am starting to question if connected to grid they will make sense soon. If cost of energy produced is very low the payback might not happen. Specially with normal risks involved that is weather events and just being unlucky with things like inverters.

Two factors really, cost of connecting to grid won't change, you will be more directly charged for peak load capacity. And on other hand produced power either pays little, or you could get it from grid for very cheap.
You have to have a really really dirty energy supply for an electric vehicle to be a higher emitter than an ICE vehicle. E-bikes also will replace things like two-stroke mopeds which are especially dirty for ICE vehicles.
This is NOT a good thing. It is paradoxically driving up _fossil_ fuels.

We don't have seasonal energy storage technologies, so in winter when the sun doesn't shine, the only reliable energy comes from fossil fuels.
Clover is a great nitrogen fixer.

So if you buy products to remove it but then apply other chemicals to add back nutrients, you're simply making the chemical industry happy.
No one has mentioned firecawl? Can anyone compare to archivebox, httrack?
Similar experience for me but probably even more extreme.

I'm originally from São Paulo, Brazil, the Tropic of Capricorn almost cuts through the city itself. Sunrises and sunsets are very quick events, sitting somewhere to watch it would take some 30 minutes, and then darkness.

Even after 10+ years of living in Sweden I still get mesmerised by sunrises and sunsets here, they last for so long and I get to be awed by the changing of colours, shadows, shapes, for hours. It's one of my favourite things to do during summers, just to be out somewhere by a lake with some friends, having food and drinks, and watching the endless twilight.
Harvard study finds seed oils healthier than butter
Am I interpreting this correctly? It sounds like the lawsuit is filed on behalf of at least 6,632 employees. $28,000,000 distributed amongst that many is roughly $4,221.95. That's not even accounting for the law firm's stake. That seems like an absurdly low amount to pay to folks to say "sorry we screwed your career over".

Google can and absolutely should be paying these people more in compensation.
The same thing that would happen is you modify the mechanics of your car (which is entirely allowed, as it should be) in a way that causes breakdown or even loss of life. It's on you, not the manufacturer.
Job performance as measured, yes, it already accounts for all biases/traits, including age, appearance, personality, performance, race and all other known/unknown biases that the people measuring the performance have.
Indeed, the inelasticity is because of the physics. Nonetheless, common terminology in the industry is that the market is inelastic.

Regarding nuclear power: it is a great technology for the base load (edit: I mean firm power), but there's always going to be fluctuations in consumption, which needs to be met with fluctuations in generation. Grid interactive buildings can help mitigate this fluctuation.
This discussion on the immanent collapse of civilization never gets old. Socrates complained that this new invention of writing was ruining philosophy and memory. In his view philosophy was verbal jousting and conversation while walking.

The primary source is from Socrates lips (unavaiable), but you can read Plato’s Phaedrus, ask Wikipedia, or chat with Claude 3.7 Sonnet.
Ah, poster not article author gotcha.
You don't eliminate the paradoxes. You substitute new ones. The question with nuclear power plants is, what do you do when the consumption is below what is produced? You need to find a power sink. In days past, utility companies gave away nighttime lighting such as streetlights, security lights, etc., because it was way to sell electricity that otherwise would be wasted. The downside is we now have a massive light pollution problem.

A better answer is to deploy more storage technology, such as better and distributed batteries, in communities. In addition to sucking up the excess power from the solar wind, it also makes local grids more resilient because the power is held near where it is needed and not dependent on a centralized power plant.
You are interpreting the entire story from the perspective of the utility and ISO (which are distributors, neither a maker of energy nor a net consumer of it). They're Edison-era inventions, borne of the lumbering size, toxicity, noise, and poor capacity factor of mechanical engines.

Why don't you interpret it from the perspective of companies (which need to buy energy to do stuff) and consumers (who need to buy energy to be comfortable)? These are the actual buyers.

Then you'll see why solar and batteries win all, and utilities, with their badly potholed power highways with massive tolls to consumers, slowly reduce in importance.
In the US, take a minute and look for 'shared renewables' or 'community solar' offerings in your state. They're the next best thing:

Skills have to be maintained. You don't remember everything for life. I highly doubt anyone that uses a calculator on a regular basis was never taught how to do math by hand. I was taught of course, I'm not only old but I went to university, but I would still need refreshers to really do anything of any complexity.

I don't think it's a vacuous argument, it's just reality. I can use a calculator as long as one is available, but if I'm lost in the woods, I'm still going to need a refresher because calculators are too plentiful to maintain advanced math skills.
Sure, but how specifically do you think it was checked?

Actually, I'll tell you how it was checked: they ran lots of experiments, and confirmed that the probability to find the particle in one state or the other is precisely equal to the norm of the wavefunction of the respective state. Also known as the Born rule.

This has sort of already happened. There was a fair bit of fuss around a very similar topic during the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. The prosecution were not allowed to zoom in on drone footage because the defence successfully argued that zooming in results in the creation of information through interpolation which was not there in the original recording.
I actually spent two days of "quality" time at Otay Mesa detention center (or the male version of it nearby) some 20+ years ago.

I shudder to think what it would be like in the current climate.

I had overstayed my student visa but that was the extent of my crime. For that I had the pleasure of being shackled and bussed from the inland checkpoint (the one on 5 freeway) to the detention center.

The worst part is the uncertainty, once you are at a detention center - you have no idea what/when is something going to happen.

There is no information flow besides my one phone call.

You have to be happy with your daily burritos and then hope you make some friends and no enemies. Weird thing happens to your brain in these type of uncertain places, you sort of dissociate from what is happening to you. Some sort of defense mechanism I suppose.

I mean how do you respond when the boyfriend of the "main" guy at the facility asks "Don't I know you from somewhere?".

In the end I was incredibly lucky - I actually knew a lawyer to call - and that must have helped me. Most of the people inside had been in detention for weeks with only rough knowledge that at some point they would be deported or possibly set free.

So I had my hearing in front of judge some months later and I agreed for "voluntary departure" and 10 year ban.

Since then I am on some sort of blacklist for life.

Each time I've come back to US, I've have had to spend 2-3 hours at CPB interview room, which if you want to hear human misery from around the world is the place to be. There is some sort of queue but it is rather haphazard.

Again you have this incredible uncertainty when you will get out of this room.

Again, I am extremely lucky, I've had very pleasant CPB officers so far and they are either indifferent or sympathetic to my case.

Last time I was simply given passport without explanation after 2 hour wait with no interview at all!

Then again I've only traveled to US when current administration is not aggressively posturing.
Isn't there a third options of building long term energy storage, or is that not feasible at current tech levels?
If your goal is cutting waste in the government, DOGE is absolutely the worst possible way to do it.

The idea of bringing in a bunch of "whiz kids" who know absolutely nothing about the departments they're auditing [1], axing people arbitrarily (i.e., firing seemingly everybody who is "probationary"), and cutting programs seemingly purely by Ctrl-F'ing for keywords without even bothering to figure out if the keyword even means what you're looking for in context is absolute clown shoes for good governance.

The fact that they're breaking all sorts of laws in the process makes it even worse; and to top it off, they can't even bring themselves to be honest to the courts about who is responsible for their actions.

No, DOGE is undeniably a rotten concept from inception to practice.

[1] Seemingly flummoxed by the existence of things like sentinel values in databases for "we don't know," based on some of the "fraud" they've very loudly proclaimed.
> Musk was clear that the reason was that they didn't want someone pro trump having success so close to the election.

This makes no sense whatsoever. The election was in November. If that was their calculation, they’d just have cosplayed astronaut-saving heroes before Trump had an opportunity to do so, between November and January. Musk is full of it, as usual.

It is not the first time some astronauts stay in space longer than expected and it never was controversial before. The people making noise cannot even find a single reason for Biden to do what they accuse him of doing, much less any proof that he did so.
and it doesnt make you any more right. i remember in 2007 i noticed that movies sucked… i was a teenager. and i was right because every industry has its ebbs and flows. if you just measure the metrics of cultural impact, halo is a high water mark. people dont even play single player games or watch movies anymore. now the big cultural impact is happening on tiktok and things like that. things are not the same regardless of how much you want to believe that

I’ve been researching Greek mythology for the past few years as an amateur. It’s been a lot of fun and rewarding for me. There are a few things, which make the research in my leisure time tough though.

1. Society is set up so that I have to prioritize making money in my limited free time. Fortunately this pressure has lessened since I got a well paying job, but it held back my free time for years.

2. Because of the first constraint, I don’t have the time to dive into mastery. I’m reading works at a much slower rate since I have to work everyday. I’ve also found the time over the past few years to study Modern Greek, which I could have spent studying Ancient Greek I suppose. However, I don’t have the time to study both and Modern Greek has been my priority for reasons outside of my research.

3. I owe a great deal of my research to people with PhDs/DPhils on the topic. However, I also can’t contribute much to the field because they deliver their incredible work full time. I’m far less likely to make significant contributions when they have already spent years studying Ancient Greek and then every day performing acts such as translating great works.

All that said, I’m satisfied not competing with the experts. I just recognize that this is purely a hobby that I perform for fun when I have the time, which isn’t as often as I need in order to be a more useful researcher.
You are talking about uptick in trust due to administration taking steps against illegal immigrants.

How is anyone supposed trust this administration when they constantly lie and break the laws themselves? How is my comment not relevant?

Not that I agree with illegal immigration, however, I want EVERYONE to respect the laws.
Rules for Crafting Products That Stand Out
I was on Twitter briefly despite knowing better. It was great to connect with fellow programmers doing creative things, and having blocked the sidebar and all political hashtags, it was a net positive for a while. Ultimately though, it incentivizes people to post every "clever" thought that pops into their brains, and after posting hundreds of your own clever thoughts and reading tens of thousands of other people's, it instills in one the urge to live alone in the mountains under a vow of silence.

Though… it occurs to me that my cursed "cleverness" may have followed me to HN.
> why can’t the whole thing be bug free? But somehow it doesn’t work like that in the real world.

It can be, if the composition is itself sound. That's a key part of Rust's value proposition: individually safe abstractions in Rust also compose safely.

The problem in C isn't that you can't write safe C but that the composition of individually safe C components is much harder to make safe.
I’ve been thinking of adding AI completion into my CLI tools but not really sure how to implement it in a non-intrusive way. So I’ve got a few questions, if you don’t mind sharing:

What’s the workflow like for AI shell completion?

How does it know which flag to complete for you? Do you write a description in native language (eg English) and it completes the entire command line? Or is it more one flag at a time?
>Why would any law firm engage in frivolous litigation against a potential future client?

Because the chances is getting a payout is greater than the chances of ever working for Google.
Historically, it's both, which is how we got here.

The Xerox demo was definitely trying to make near-as-possible 1-to-1 correspondences because their entire approach was "discovery is easier if the UI abstractions are couched in known physical abstractions." UIs that hewed very closely to the original Xerox demo did things like pop open one window per folder (because when you open a folder and there's a folder inside, you still have the original folder).

As time went on and users became more comfortable with computerized abstractions in general, much of that fluff fell by the wayside. MacOSX system 7, for instance, would open one window per double-click by default; modern desktop MacOS opens a folder into the current window, with the option to command-double-click it to open it into its own... tab? (Thanks browsers; you made users comfortable enough with tabbed windows that this is a metaphor the file system browser can adopt!).
Yes. At these latitudes there are times of the year when it's always night or always day. This messes with the math such that the graphs look weird.
Purpose. I'm sure lots of people don't think of it as their purpose to work in factories and offices performing some routines they don't particularly enjoy but had to because they have to.

You have to think outside of this consenting slavery box. Individuals will find meaning in their lives. Volunteering is one. Learning a craft is another. Acquiring knowledge and improving oneself as a person is one too. Americans/westerners keep lecturing about "freedom" but they don't even recognize what real freedom is.
For some figures on demand reponse Kraken energy manage devices across Europe and the US:

"And today, to give you the exact numbers, we manage close to 400,000 devices in real time. That's about 1.6 gigawatt of power that can be turned up or down at any moment in time and space. And that's where consumer devices become really powerful." [1]

I work in system engineering at a quantum computing company... when I read announcements and new papers on quantum computing, qubit technologies or implementations of quantum computers, I loosely apply these thresholds.

threshold one: The authors/company report data on qubit coherence times, single-qubit and two-qubit gate error, state prep and measurement error, etc. The more rigorous data, the better. If they report data from different qubits on the same device or across multiple devices, even better. But without this sort of data, any assertions or forward looking statements about the utility of a device or quantum computing approach are "pure marketing". To me... the Microsoft paper and announcement do not meet threshold one.

Threshold two is performing some sort of useful bench-marking calculation that requires repeated use of multiple qubits in concert. Quantum volume calculation is one such benchmark. It much easier to get great qubit results from a small test device (a hero device) than a larger system. It is tough to make a blanket statement about all QC technologies but system noise levels and calculation error failure modes scale with # of qubits... so be able to achieve high fidelity two-qubits gates repeatedly in a deep ciruit using 20-50 qubits is much, much more difficult and impressive than demonstrations with 1-4 qubits. To me, number of qubits is almost irrelevant if those qubits are not useful together... example: if a company reports 100+ qubits on a device but can't pass a quantum volume 12 or 16 calculation, then I will reserve judgement about the utility of that QC approach. There is engineering development value to scaling number of qubits (like figuring out how to orchestrate massively parallel qubit control at scale) while also working on improving qubits performance metrics... but these two development streams have to converge: lot of qubits AND high fidelity. Demonstrating high fidelity at low qubit count and high qubit counts separately doesn't mean that high fidelity, high qubit counts will be achievable.
