You are correct. we have indeed solved some of these issues, we have even built incredible solutions such as Electric Mountain in Wales[0] to store and release incredible amounts of energy almost immediately. However this just serves to prove my point. Even an entire lake being flushed down a mountain is not enough to offset all the peaaks in just the UK, a relatively small country. To solve this issue on a global scale enough to provide the worlds power from solar is an unthinkable challenge IMO.

Not necessarily. The risk profile of the group in a specific self insured business is not guaranteed to be healthier than one not part of a business.

Most states publish their approved premiums for healthcare.gov plans, and I don’t think I’ve encountered a self insured business plan with materially different premiums/deductibles/oop max.

It’s because antibiotic resistance is a misunderstood issue. If one antibiotic doesn’t work, you move on to the next. Maintaining antibiotic resistance is energetically costly to the bacteria. If you aren’t actively selecting with that antibiotic, its resistance will be lost before long as mutants with deficient antibiotic resistance are now more fit and outcompete those with functional antibiotic resistance.
Ask HN: Where are the Mac ergonomic keyboards?
I have terrible wrist pain and have been a slave to ergonomic keyboards for relief for the past decade.

However, the Mac segment of this market is sparse and dry. Mac meaning a keyboard with proper ⌘-Command and ⌥-Option buttons.

If any good options exist, I can't seem to find them. Nothing fancy or exotic, I just want a version of the old Microsoft Natural keyboard with Mac keys and USB-C, most importantly wired not wireless. Comparable attempts seem to be poor quality and/or discontinued.

Why does this not exist? Patent encumbrances? There had to be a market for such things; I can't be the only one. I'm willing to pay up to $150 USD for a quality product.

If anyone knows of any good products, please share!
The hard things about sync
It's hard to produce a quantifiable chance of human extinction in the absence of any model by which climate change would lead to it. No climate organization I'm aware of evaluates the end of humanity as even a worst-case risk; the idea simply doesn't exist outside the realm of viral Internet misinformation.
Yeah, except a battery to hold enough energy to cover the entire planets energy spikes would be some battery.

I'd like to address two points here: the first being the idea that taxes are voluntary, and the second being implicit claims about the nature of the democratic process itself. I will raise some labelled and ordered questions if you care to respond, I understand that this is a subject that can lend easily to hostility, but I want to remind everyone that I am not necessarily refuting what you are saying here, I am just asking follow-up questions to achieve a better understanding of your point of view. I hope we can continue this dialogue respectfully, and if at any point any points I am raising strike you as disrespectful or unkind, please let me know.

First: If paying taxes hypothetically became completely optional, and there were no legal penalties for not paying them (coercion, threat of force, state-sanctioned violence),

1a. Do you think tax revenues would stay almost the same, or be dramatically reduced by this change?

1b. Do you suppose most people would still voluntarily choose to pay taxes of their own free will if there were no individual consequences for not paying them?

1c. If answering in the negative to 1b, how do you characterize taxes being any more "voluntary" than the act of handing my wallet to an armed robber can be considered "voluntary"? i.e. if the motivating force that compels me to pay is a threat of force (either implicitly and roundaboutly, through the legal system, which eventually ends with one staring down the barrel of a gun, or explicitly and expediently, just skipping the other steps and going straight to staring down the barrel of a gun), isn't that ultimately the same act of extortion being justified with / "backed up by" the same threat of force from the same mechanism (firearm) regardless of whether it is by one man calling himself a robber or a million men calling themselves a government?

Second: As individuals, we do not exercise "control" through the democratic process, we express preferences.

2a. From my understanding (please correct me if this is wrong), the DNC has made it clear in both 2016 and in 2024, that the voters do not get to pick the nominee, the DNC's superdelegates do, and they retain the right to nominate candidates that do not have the majority or plurality of popular support even from within their own party, right?

2b. Expanding out to a broader level, does your comment intend to suggest or imply that all results of democratic processes are inherently and automatically voluntarily consented to by the populace on the basis that we were all allowed to vote on it?

2c. If the proposition made in 2b were true, wouldn't that necessarily imply that we both voluntarily consented to the election of Donald Trump, or the invasion of Iraq in search of WMD's that didn't exist? I can't speak for you, but I certainly did not consent to either of those.

2d. If, on the other hand, the proposition made in 2b were false, why is it we can choose not to consent some democratic process outcomes, like a president that we disapprove of, but not others, like the specific details of tax policy?
> cheaper

One major reason why it is cheaper to make these clothes overseas is because we have such a stringent regulatory regime for worker and environmental protections, and using foreign manufacturers is essentially a loophole through those regulations. Whether those regulations are useful or not is entirely beside the point: if they are good, then moving manufacturing over to lower regulation countries is bad and we should impose tariffs on all of those goods. If those regulations are bad, then we should just repeal them and let domestic manufacturers compete on an even playing field.
Hallow Earth, perhaps with dinosaurs still living there is, of course, BS. However, it may not be all barren in there either, e.g. this report from 2006 talking about bacteria nearly 2 miles in: https://www.princeton.edu/news/2006/10/20/two-miles-undergro....

So, as a Friday afternoon thought, one can hypothesize the existence of large-ish (~hundreds of meters) empty cavities within the mantle with some simple animal life (worms, insects?), which doesn't sound totally off the rails to me. I wonder if our current seismic analysis technology can detect such cavities (chatGPT says waves to propel core have wavelengths on the order of kilometers).
They presented a strawman. I'm unravelling it.

I want to know where their values are and if they contradict.

I'm re-presenting the original scenario being discussed and the scenario they introduced.

Comparing the two while also redirecting back to the original moral dilemma.
In other words, Zig is closer to the original C and maybe Scheme, while C3 and Odin tend towards maybe Ruby (while of course remaining capable of doing low-level stuff). Correct?
They were real because they were made by people all along. Now you can't tell.

I think you're right my analogy is imperfect. I'm only human (or am I? :P)
It really isn't.

The U.S. can't "reward" local manufacturing (through subsidies, etc.) enough to offset the absolutely massive subsidies that China gives out like candy. (See, e.g., what China has done in the solar panel and steel spaces. Conservative estimates place the value of Chinese subsidies in those two markets alone at nearly $1 trillion dollars over the past decade.)

The point of tariffs is to eliminate the financial benefit of using lower-cost foreign providers for sourcing products for local sale.

The problem with the Trump tariffs are not that they exist, but that they are being thrown about without any thought into who or what should be subject to tariffs.
Typical "femme fatale", she destroyed The Beatles, she turned Lennon into "working class hero", who had servants and used air condition to lower temperature in his home, so he and Yoko could wear furs inside.

The only worthy Lennon's post-Beatles album is Mind Games, the rest was a daub, with Imagine on the top of it.

The client/server model is why I like Chef more than Ansible, tbh. Having my machines run a service which pulls configuration on a schedule is, to me, much saner and easier to manage than having to push configuration from a central source over ssh. But that is obviously just my preference, and if someone doesn't like the client/server model then I can totally understand if they don't like Chef as a result.
you really think governments and corporations would do that? just go on the internet and tell lies?
> But they are still only going at half the pace of OpenBrain, mainly due to the compute deficit.

Right.
A strict C variant would indeed be quite nice. I've wanted to write CUDA kernels in Go apps before so the Go app can handle the concurrency on the CPU side. Right now, I have to write a C wrapper and more often than not, I end up writing more code in C++ instead.

But then I end up finding myself juggling mutexes and wishing I had some newer language features.
Ayn Rand is the ultimate proof of something I've realized as I've grown: doing the right thing is actually really simple. It's not easy as in "low difficulty of accomplishment", but it's simple as in "low difficulty of understanding". In fact, I've started to think of complex decision making as the moral equivalent of a code smell: if I'm waffling back and forth over what the right thing to do is sometimes it's a genuinely complex situation where principles are in conflict but much (Much, MUCH) more often it's just that I no what the right thing to do is and just don't wanna do it. Objectivism feels like the inverse of this: you can make anything feel like the right thing to do if you just expand, generalize, hypotheticalize and muddy the question until "Should I give a hungry person a sandwich when I've got one I won't miss?" becomes something like "How do you expect society to function if no one works?"

It's all fun and games until you don't have paved streets anymore.
Let me gather some pitch forks..
The author presents arguments, with the evidence. If you're able to understand the argument, you can decide for yourself. Nothing else matters. As to why there are so many debunks, you'd have to ask the mainstream media why they've done this so much.
If I have a mostly CPU code and I want to time the scenario: “I have just a couple subroutines that I am willing to offload to the GPU,” what’s wrong with sprinkling my code with normal old python timing calls?

If I don’t care what part of the CUDA ecosystem is taking time (from my point of view it is a black-box that does GEMMs) so why not measure “time until my normal code is running again?”

Italy's parliament had for a long time a system where you could vote "no confidence" without picking a constructive option. It did not serve them well and they abolished it eventually.

While I understand the disenchantment, just adding "none of the above" without committing to one of the offered options is not going to change a thing. You getting out on the streets and into politics is what changes things.

You can be 100% correct while not being mainstream.

And you're laundering what the linked page says--they try to paint a picture of JVP being anti-semitic, but don't specifically accuse them of that. They do call them anti-Israel and anti-Zionist but you must not conflate that with anti-Semitism.

Do you find the ADL credible anyway. Seems they themselves could be accused of anti-semitism: https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5097676-elon-mus...

Saying Musk's anti-semitic behavior isn't anti-semitic is definitely stretching the truth.
I'd tone down a little. (And the same goes for bigwigs such as Ioannidis et al.) There are several so-called meta-science projects ongoing, and their results indicate that the situation is hardly as bad as presented by laypeople and populists. And, yes, self-correction happens, as it has always done, but it takes time (read: decades).
I fell into Rand in high school and it took me a few years to climb out.

The problem with believing in the primacy of reason is that it's incredibly distortionary. In reality, we all think and reason with respect to our ego and our emotions, and so if you believe that you are engaging in pure reason, it can lead you to pave over the ways in which your emotions are affecting your line of thought.

In this way it can quickly become a very dogmatic, self-reinforcing way of thinking. The ironic thing is that becoming a better thinker is not done by studying logic, but instead by learning to recognize and respect your own emotional responses.
Unraveling it by creating your own?

Maybe we can have a strawman party after.
How your grandfather’s family was killed?
You're confusing the qualia of colour("what it's like" to perceive colour) with the property of colour. Both can be referred to by the word "colour".

You're essentially just arguing that one definition of a noun is "more valid" than another, which is completely arbitrary.

And of course the qualia of colour is entirely subjective and only in the mind. That's literally the definition of qualia. That doesn't mean the property of colour is also subjective, just because it's referred to by the same noun. And besides, qualia is a philosophically controversial term in the first place.

If you were trying to cross a river and someone told you walk over that bridge over there, you wouldn't respond that it's impossible because a bridge is a device that links two computer networks together at the link layer, and couldn't possibly be used a cross a river, would you?
No; be as resistant to local environment change as you are to global climate change. If you’re not doing anything about the second then don’t do anything about the first. (If you are doing something about the second, you probably know better than to try and prevent housing being built in a location that is not threatened).
> This rhymes with still developing your own film.

Well, guilty, I actually do occasionally develop my own film.

Film photography is actually expanding as an industry right now. We are well past the point where digital photography can do everything a film camera can do, and in most cases it can do it far better (very minor exceptions like large format photography still exist, where you can argue that film still has the edge).

I think that whether you embrace AI photo editing or not has more to do with the purpose of your photos. If you are trying to create marketing collateral for a valentines day ad campaign, AI is probably going to be the best tool. If you are trying to document reality, even for aesthetic purposes, AI isn't great. When I make a portrait of my wife, I don't need AI to reinterpret her face for me.
That's definitely true. History has been thoroughly manufactured by humans. Naively, I thought the storage of computers might preserve first-hand accounts forever; it might, but it might not be discernible.
I think you're discrediting yourself by talking about dark places and opening your parentheses with anti-depressants.

Not all brains function like they're supposed to, people getting help they need shouldn't be stigmatized.

You also make no argument about your take on things being the right one, you just oppose their worldview to yours and call theirs wrong like you know it is rather than just you thinking yours is right.
I've not used their ergonomic keyboards, but Keychron seems to make them and includes Mac keycaps + compatibility.
That's the thing. Regardless of whether or not you think the Court was unconstitutionally packed (due to the Senate running out the clock on the Garland nomination under Obama), it doesn't matter, because SCOTUS rulings are precedent and therefore effectively law. So it's no longer true even in theory, unless Trump v. US is overturned.
>> Misuse occurs when a human deliberately uses an AI system for harmful purposes.

Writes the company that sells AI services to the country openly genociding and ethnically cleansing Palestinian civilians.

>> For instance, misuse of present-day generative AI includes producing harmful content or spreading inaccurate information. In the future, advanced AI systems may have the capacity to more significantly influence public beliefs and behaviors in ways that could lead to unintended societal consequences.

Ah yeah, of course. The most important thing is that AI does not veer off the approved narratives. Everything else is secondary.

Disgusting hypocrisy
> It's caused great economic hardship in the US for people who didn't have the connections or resources to get out of working more basic manufacturing jobs

No, the hardships in the us are caused by the 1% hoarding wealth. Don’t blame anyone else in the world
I disagree with Ars view and think they were saved by Dragon. Starliner was a failure, and it was a political decision that kept them up there.
It would be amazing if this lead to dumping the electoral college system in favor of something more representative. Also, reducing president's power would be amazing, maybe you guys would eventually see a functioning, consensus-based multi party system.
A very fair and reasonable point
Yes they did, it is called Metal Compute, and everyone using Apple devices has to use it.

Vulkan you say?

It is only relevant on GNU/Linux and Android, because Google is pushing it, and still most folks still keep using OpenGL ES, no one else cares about it, and already turned into the same spaghetti mess as OpenGL, to the point that there was a roadmap talk at Vulkanised 2025 on how to sort things out.

NVidia and AMD keep designing their cards with Microsoft for DirectX first, and Vulkan, eventually.
> Mac meaning a keyboard with a proper ⌘-Command and ⌥-Option buttons

How have you used keyboards for the last decade but somehow can't touch-type your modifier keys? I use blank keycaps and never notice the difference switching between OSes.
I believe they tend to make money on consoles too unlike many other platforms who recuperate the cost on games.
This. Demanding new developments all be affordable housing is a strategy NIMBYs use to prevent new construction, since most builders will just go elsewhere.

If a builder does try to comply with the demand, they come up with other reasons to block construction (doesn't match neighborhood's character, not enough parking, demand yet another environmental review, etc.)
The Soviet union had an outsized role in this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whaling_in_the_Soviet_Union_an...

To meet lucrative production quotas, the Soviet Union lied to international agencies about how many whales they were catching. While they didn't harvest the most amount of whales in the 20th century, they disregarded treaties that protected endangered whales and breeding populations.

https://www.i-deel.org/blog/mass-killing-for-no-reason-the-p...

The worst part is there was little to no actual demand for whaling products in the Soviet Union, so most of they collected was treated as a waste product or simply dumped.
It is completely without merit when used to block non-car transport like trains and light rail and buses and bikes.
That explains why they were listed separately, it doesn't explain how some ended up with higher-than-default tariffs. As the article points out, the other half of the puzzle is that sometimes people use the wrong ISO code (maybe a typo, maybe just guessing and getting it wrong). For places with little actual trade, such mistakes naturally make up the bulk of the trade volume recorded in official statistics.
> Here's the best explanation I've found: https://x.com/BigJohn043/status/1907901081209766379

Yeah:

> First, we are getting ripped off in global trade.

So Americans buying whatever stuff they want is getting "ripped off"?

> We could tax the rich more, but the world learned in the post WW2 era that doesn't work very well.

??? The post-WW2 years were some of the most prosperous in the US, and the high tax rates did not hinder that. When Clinton raised rates in the 1990s there were predictions of 'collapse', but things continue chugging along. Inequality decreased during the post-WW2 years up to Reagan.

> So the short answer is that tariffs are a pretty efficient tax.

Not sure how accurate this is, but they're certainly regressive. And if folks have a finite income, and prices go up so each unit purchased is more expensive, then logically won't that mean fewer units will be purchased/produced? If fewer units are produced then fewer workers are needed, so layoffs may be more likely.

I live in a house in San Diego, built in 1920.

It has 240v AC, which I use to charge.

I seriously doubt you need to "upgrade" anything, just plug in the car.

Unless you're trying to have the highest grade fast charging at home, your existing electrical connection is almost certainly adequate. But since a car at home can charge overnight, you almost certainly don't need any kind of fast charging...
