kids, literally make your life that busy. Home gym would be ideal - unfortunately space is the issue there, I have about 1.5m2 available.

x3 hours a week + travel time is infeasible given other commitments. I have approx 50 mins per day available.

I wonder, certain parts of the world disregard international patent law. How long before they start disregarding digital copyright law as well. What happens when someone makes a production using someone else’s likeness illegally and that fi

“Instead CoPilot attempts to solve the most general problem, have the engineer state their intent and let the AI produce the code.” And here in lies the rub, 90% of the time, the engineers intent is wrong. That’s what real pair programming

I’ve been thinking deeply about this over the last couple of weeks. So sure, the obvious answer is the overriding human reward function is survival, propagation of our dna. Except I think it’s more complex than that, take War for example wh

With the history lesson part I find this article totally omits the actual technology change where we stopped hand cranking individual servers and started treating infrastructure as code…

True, that’s a good point, I had forgotten about the idea that they could be used to charge a new electric fleet which would require a lot more electricity than the supermarket alone. In that case it makes sense, the supermarket becomes the

Hmm, it’s anecdotal but I know several grid engineers in the UK and Europe who are employees to deal with exactly that problem and spend most of their time complaining about the instability caused to a grid that needs investment to adjust t

Challenge here is too much solar destabilizes the grid and there’s not enough peaker plants/other sources to handle to variation in generation/load. The reason residential makes more sense is that it’s consumed at source. I don’t

I think the gotcha here is they are saying : safer === less deaths. If you purely want the safety of power sources at a minimum you have to look at deaths, unnecessary human suffering and also potential for long term deaths & suffering

I call bs. This article claims that only 100 people ‘died’ from Chernobyl. https://ourworldindata.org/what-was-the-death-toll-from-cher... It pretty much totally discounts the insanely large number of thyroid cancer cases i

I want this - but mobile first. Whenever I’m sitting on a bus or train for a short trip that doesn’t warrant bringing a laptop but there is a simple little tweak that could be made in 10 mins. I would like to use a tool like this designed t

I’m surprised there is no technical solution to shell-ing. Some kind of autonomous anti-shell gun that shoots them down mid flight? It seems like a fairly common problem.

What about the neurons in your heart and gut? The brain isn’t the only place your body has processing capacity.

This is a nice story and makes rational sense. But the world is rarely rational, and I doubt that price signals behave any where near as logically or predictably as the author implies during the article. It reminded me of the classic ‘beer

Hey, I’ve got another feature request for you - detect when your messages sound passive aggressive, angry or sarcastic. I’ve noticed many people who switch to remote work who were fine to work with in person have terrible online style and

What’s the reason they have decided to couple this with a two stage chemical rocket? - Would the physics/g-forces reason be too much to go all the way or some other reason?

This is daft, it’s assuming the only thing important in hiring is previous technical experience. As Dee Hock said : “ Hire and promote first on the basis of integrity; second, motivation; third, capacity; fourth, understanding; fifth, know

Hey HN, Last year for fun, I started hacking to see how feasible it would be to create a self-hosted Miro/Whiteboard webapp using SVG instead of canvas. It bugged me at the time, how Miro was a closed garden - you couldn't move sa

That’s crazy, so basically find alternatives for those worst 5% and for example in Germany reduce CO2 from the power sector by 90%.

Hey, I like the idea. Have you heard of org maps - rather than hierarchal charts? If you read the ‘reinventing orgs’ book they talk about having a more fluid model which is less top down. Also I think bamboohr is probably the most important
