It was expensive but every day I am happy with my Rivian purchase. Great to have a vehicle where the actual users are obviously thought of (contra for instance the cybertruck where some variety 'cool factor' was obviously prioritized, resulting in finger crunching hoods and such).

At least come up with your own thought instead of repeating someone else's thinking

Na it's great stay broke

Edit: and mad

hmm. not sure who this 'rest of us' is. is it a free-range organic bot farm?


'Elon Derangement Syndrome' as opposed to 'Elon dick ride syndrome'.

I see your type of people on Twitter all the time, they complain that someone was critical of Elon (and in this circumstance he wasn't even calling out Elon. He literally commented on a known flaw with the Cybertruck) yet people like you come out of the woodwork and defend everything. You've got yourself worked up about something that has nothing to do with Elon. I always like checking out those peoples profiles and their whole life revolves around Elon. That is a bigger disorder in my opinion.

Maybe your the problem?

There is so much misinformation in here, so densely packed.

Ivanpah is is not the largest solar power plant in California. It's an experimental solar-thermal plant. Talking about megawatts per year is not a meaningful term (megawatt-years would be). Ivanpah despite its much talked about failures delivers between 350 and 850GWh per year.

The largest solar plant in California is Edwards Sandborn, producing somewhere around 2500GWh per year (it's newer so numbers are less published).

Diablo Canyon produces around 18000GWh/year, which is huge.

But with all costs combined, Diablo's price per MWh is close to ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY DOLLARS off of a massive initial capex. Modern solar battery installs trend towards $30-60 for the same output.

So I'm sure your tour guide had some neat numbers but you should be careful not to repeat them verbatim (or unremembered).


It's not an issue of how - there's a great ADM with markup/down supported already, waiting for system prompts to be injected in realtime via the same online auction system that powers banner ads and smart tv content. There's got to be some latent resistance to the idea for now - but it's so easy to do, it'll happen.


Can you provide some references to what you’re talking about


Sure, https://iabtechlab.com/standards/openrtb/

There's a standardized, normal (in adtech) approach to building 'creative's (viewed/seen ads) around context-dependent scenarios. It's not hard to extend existing IAB primitives to include things like context-enrichment (system prompt augmentation in this case) or whatever. I don't want to malign my downvoters but suspect they're mad I'm pointing it out, rather than engaging with facts as they are. It's trivial for ads to interact with your(our!) AI usage.


To use agentic what? Off topic as heck but I really dislike this trend of coercing adjectives into true nominals - we're using programmatic! - like some sort of even-more-obnoxious variant on the verb to noun ('the ask') process.

Why does it bother me so? I have no idea.


blame the hn title rules (although i would just have substituted "AI")

i doubt anyone is nouning "agentic" of their own accord (yet)


Just "leaders" at consulting firms mostly


In my experience, rate limits are more often per second. It's easy to talk about kilo or mega-units, so this isn't as big an issue as the awkwardness of talking about very very low volume services. Maybe those (generally) inherently don't care about rates as much?


In my perception there is a difference between 1req/s as a rate limit, and 60/min. The difference has to do with bucketing. If we agree that the rate limit is 1/s, I expect to be able to exactly that and sometimes 2 within the same second. However, if we agree on 60/min, then it should be fine to spend all 60 in the first second of a minute, or averaged out, or some other distribution.

This also helps with the question I always get when discussing rate limits “but what about bursts?”. 60/min already conveyed you are okay to receive bursts of 60 at once, in contrast to with 1/s.

In my experience it is exactly the low rate service that care about rate limits as they are the most likely to break under higher load. Services that already handle 100k req/s typically don’t sweat it with a couple extra once in a while.


An effective rate limiting system has multiple bases in my experience, depending on what the goal is. But I usually implement the configuration as a list where you can define how much requests are allow maximum per how many units of time.

E.g. to prevent fast bursts you limit it to 1 request per 1 second, but to avoid someone sending out 86400 requests a day you also cap them at 100 per 86400 seconds (24 hours) and 1000 per 3600 seconds (1 hour).

Whichever limit they hit first will stop it. That isn't hard to implement if you know how to deal with arrays and it allows long term abuse, while still along fast retries if something went wrong.


Exactly, you still will want to agree on multiple rate limit bases, precisely because they are different.


Hard to talk about favorites in books, but there was a solid decade of my life where I'd have probably said this was my favorite sci fi book. Highly recommend to anyone reading this.


Weird, from the outside it seems like bombing civilians and infrastructure is more inflammatory and antagonizing than some words/propaganda.

Ask the same dumb question, get the same answer.


[flagged]


No. You made the same argument twice and got the same response twice.


I didn't make any argument twice. I only responded with an argument once. What did I argue twice?


Let me summarize the argument more cleanly:

Words are violence!!! Hearing death to America hurt me badly!!

vs actual invasions and bombings of your mainland from two hyperviolent countries with a long history of the same


Who's argument are you summarizing? Is this about the repeat comment?


The persons you were talking to.


The were arguing the opposite of what you said if anything. You sure you didn't respond to the wrong comment?


Big scary words are not violence. They can't hurt you. Bombings and invasions that killed people are violence.


I agree, I'm just confused where that fits in this thread.


Actual violence is much more antagonizing than mere hurt feelings.


I wouldn't classify full scale war as "antagonizing," but, if you want to downplay it, be my guest.


Yeah I was hoping for a multiplayer goldfish-style experience, maybe something like tabletop simulator. Maybe I'm doing it wrong but this doesn't seem to be any better than the built in archidekt/moxfield tools


at the risk of being the shill but i think its helpful and what you are looking for, https://untap.in/ does this, solo play both mirror play your deck AND deck vs deck where you play 2 decks as one player, alternating turns.


I was thinking something 2- or 4-player, but that's cool.


I can't find sources for "tens of thousands of rockets just since oct 7", can you help me? I see a few thousand as parts of exchanges after the Israel-initiated "12 Days War", and then a few thousand more after the (also Israel-initiated) current conflagration. Notably, the rocket attacks stopped during peace talks that US and Israel entered after starting the wars, only to resume after those peace talks were betrayed with bombing.


Not sure what the best data source is, but one data point is that just in the month or so since Oct 7, the number of rocket/drone attacks against Israel was already around 9,500: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/hamas-fires-rocket...


The above claim was that Iran had attacked with thousands of rockets. These are from Hamas.


The 9,500 figure was for all fronts, not just Gaza. But true, it does include some Hamas rockets, most of which are not exactly "Iranian" (although Iran helped with training and smuggling some parts).

Another data point - https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/one-year-war-israe...

> Since the start of the war, 13,200 rockets were fired into Israel from Gaza. Another 12,400 were fired from Lebanon, while 60 came from Syria, 180 from Yemen and 400 from Iran, the military said.

So 12,400 rockets fired at Israel by Hezbollah, the vast majority of which are supplied by Iran at no cost. That's just in one year and doesn't include drones.


Two things to note there. One, many did make a peep; I have friends, coworkers who both ardently discussed and even pointlessly protested in small groups with signs.

The other - I don't pay taxes to the Azeris, every moment of my productive life doesn't support the genocide there, and my soul is in some way not as blackened by the atrocities there. I think people care about Palestine because they rightly feel complicity. Maybe Russian citizens - whose labor indirectly goes to supporting Azeri atrocities - are up in arms?


Well, given that the Azeris are armed by Israel, there might be some indirect US complicity…
