Can confirm this works for humans too.

These types are static and don’t end up in the runtime (which has no notion of types), so no. LFE will need its own solution, like Gleam.

Not until they do better in power draw. Safari or Orion for me until then.

There are startups and there are "startups". Lots of medium-sized (>150 people) companies call themselves startups but are filled with big company people and their big company practices, held up in many cases by a steady strea

I agree, but it's near-universal. Not sure what that says about our industry.

Not disagreeing but the phrase “standard 60 month loan” makes me cringe. 20 years ago more than 36 would have raised eyebrows.

Value of a human in the loop is not so much for driving but for eg fixing flats, clearing debris from cameras, etc. Less training needed, you probably only need one per convoy and they can do something else when the truck drives.

I really want to like helix. I do like helix. The batteries included ethos is awesome. Multi-select is tantalizingly close to something really interesting. Buts its macro/keybinding vocabulary isn’t quiiiiite there yet. And tbh I’

Even if you total up all the models from other manufacturers, it still doesn't touch the model Y or model 3 for sheer volume. Add all 4 Tesla models up and it's a bloodbath. (This is in the markets people on HN probably care abo

This is great context; it can be hard to appreciate radical art from the past which is important precisely because it changed art so dramatically that we now take it for granted. But that’s not an excuse. They didn’t go far enough, and in

Not anti-China, anti-CCP. China has an amazing culture with deep history and they have shown themselves to be astounding competent. But autocratic systems are self-defeating. When leadership is sound, it seems like a great idea. But becaus

I’ve got several quotes over the years and afaict it’s just like this in California now. It’s maddening.

I tried to get a heat pump but asinine local regs require five full feet of setback from property line to the edge of the external condenser. I'm not willing to spend $15k upgrading my connection just to get electric resistive heat, so

He’s right of course. But I can’t deny that I like the way it works now and will miss it.

There’s little point in the era of cheap giant lcds… but man I loved that little machine. Kept mine for many years until enough plastic parts had degraded and it literally fell apart.

Well one hopes this is an enabler of a more-closed loop process for plastics. But… yeah.

This is very welcome. Elixir is ill-suited to command line apps out of the box.

Their process creates the He3 from deuterium. That’s the secret sauce. They’ve got an interesting model and the direct energy capture approach invalidates much of OPs point. We will see though.

So, this is very impressive no matter how you slice it. But the "recipe" it was given was very specific and rules-based. You still have to do some of the most important mental work of programming. But it's a hell of a lever.

This is such a cynical take. By ditching removable bits they save on internal room which allows bigger batteries. I would take 25% better main battery life over removable any day. If you don’t mind carrying an extra item (because that’s wha

There actually was a movement in British literature to favor Anglo-Saxon words that took hold after the American revolution.

TBH I would say in the case of the watch, it's held back much more by energy budgets than software; the software is just enforcing that. It's cute that you can run Quake on it, but for how long before it killed the battery? 20 mi

My issue with CR for a long time is that I don’t trust their weighting. I’m much more worried about major drivetrain issues than flaky accessories in general, and it’s always seemed like they don’t distinguish between these categories the w
