That's your attempt at a neologism, I had no idea what you meant until you tried explaining it and honestly it feels a bit unnecessary... Say what you mean.

I don't think anyone is capable to sit in a 90-100C sauna for a whole hour without breaks, otherwise with breaks I surely have been in a sauna for more than an hour. Just this summer I was at a cottage by Vänern (the largest lake in Sw

I think one of my most repeated tropes on HN is bringing up that scale and degree matter. A problem of a kind is of a completely different kind when the scale is another order of magnitude. A simple example: with picture editing software pe

No, the full suite: ChatGPT Work, Codex, chat, Deep Research, etc., same for Claude with Code, Cowork, etc. And any new release of model or tool is trialed and assessed. Just too many products to exhaustively list, it's a big tech comp

Same experience, all my other friends in the industry report the same; at work we went from a huge push for ChatGPT last year to switching to Claude, back to ChatGPT when it became cheaper than Claude, and in parallel a deployment of open m

It will do for about 15 minutes until the battery complete discharges. Riding at 60km/h on a bike consumes a lot of power, aerodynamics are a bitch of a force.

A cyclist that can do sustained 60km/h in narrow streets is an elite athlete. Have you tried biking at 60km/h? Even on a very good bike with a gigantic gear ratio I don't think you'd manage to get close to it on flat gro

In Sweden it's commonly 30-50km/h for inner city streets, I think it's a good sweet spot, 60km/h has 44% more kinetic energy than 50km/h, and since most time lost in urban areas is due to stoppage (traffic lights, i

One good developer can start a shift but only if there's absolute buy-in from management (and you) to carve out the time the rest of the team needs to get up to speed. Since you say the current developers are also decent but otherwise

Not at 30-50km/h, the noise from engines revving from traffic lights overpower the constant tyre rolling noise.

by piva00 19d ago
Engine noise from traffic is so normalised that it can be hard to picture how it can not exist. I only got the feeling of how much calmer it felt without engines revving all around after visiting Guilin, China a couple of years ago. Most ca

Sweden pushed for FttH even though all outdated cabling was already buried, no idea why just a city like SF cannot do the same. Probably a main difference is that the Swedish infrastructure was deployed by municipalities with an open access

Externalities have costs and if they aren't accounted for then there's no incentive for reducing those. Taxes are used as a way to account for the cost to society when products and services aren't pricing it.

So why do waiters in the USA keep pestering me every 5 minutes asking if I need something else? It's part of the culture, and it gets plenty annoying when I'm trying to enjoy a meal but have to stop mid-bite to say "no, thank

If using simple metrics like GDP growth, I'm more in the camp of Paul Krugman's argument[0] that such comparisons with simple naïve metrics are insufficient to analyse it. I agree the USA has grown more steadily than the EU and th

The EU has more people than the USA but emits 1/3 of the USA's, what's the exceptionalist excuse for that?

by piva00 25d ago
That's the initial impact, it's exactly the incentive that over time will create native competitors. Yeah, there will be immediate pain but if EU competitors can spring up because the American software giants are disadvantaged it&

No need for a nefarious plot, as usual with capitalism it just needs incentives. They will have the data, if at some point it's beneficial to Google to re-identify it then it will be done. Do I believe they have incentives to do it now

Their Condor cameras are not ALPR, they are normal surveillance cameras with pan-tilt-zoom.

Even if they follow to the letter a deidentification process, Google and Meta have so much data about individuals that re-identification shouldn't be very hard for the majority of airline passengers' data they put their hands on.

This cycle might need more competitors, not only more fabs. It's in the interest of three companies to keep supply constrained to raise prices, and they act as a cartel so until the cartel breaks or a competitor grows large enough to h
