The process of a 3D model -> dies > panels that match the model is iterative. Tesla apparently cheaped out on that optimization paths and they had lots of issues towards rear left corner of cars, somehow on both Model S and X.

ODMs like Magna-Steyr and Valmet also exist. They take your plan, build some, and send to you on a ship from Central Europe.

Plenty of towns and cities in the UK are also totally unique culturally.

I visited Edinburgh a couple years ago and was blown away by the city and its people. God, everyone I met was so funny and interesting. But it’s almost never depicted on tv, outside of the occasional BBC crime drama or something. And those usually don’t get much air time outside of the UK. Peaky blinders has done an amazing job telling some of the history of Birmingham. I want more of that! The world is just so big and interesting. Far bigger than Hollywood will ever bother to portray.

I was very annoyed about this feature when I first read about it. I don't have it in my car.

But then I rented a Kia which had it. The nudge was very gentle and balanced and it felt pretty much like if the road had a groove or incline. Now, I'm used to driving in places with very bad roads so the feeling was very natural and my instinct was to overcome the steering wheel resistance with a gentle pressure just as you'd do when driving on roads that present those features.

But my eyes were telling me something different: the road was well paved and flat, so I realized it must be this smart feature. I was pleased at the Kia engineers for calibrating the physical response to be not surprising.

My main concern is that you can get used to this feature. The feature is not perfect and doesn't recognize the ends of the lane in many cases so you quickly learn that you can't trust it. But as technology gets better and better the risk of ending up relying on something that can fail occasionally is a serious one

I agree with you, but one correction: the bullshit is on the twitter post that this article links to (in the first sentence) and by extension on the article.

The paper itself [1] doesn't say "replace" anywhere: the purpose was to measure where AI has an "impact". They even say (in the discussion)

It is tempting to conclude that occupations that have high overlap with activities AI performs will be automated and thus experience job or wage loss... This would be a mistake ... Take the example of ATMs, which ... led to an increase in the number of bank teller jobs as banks opened more branches at lower costs and tellers focused on more valuable relationship-building...

Ok, good. Something definitely seems amiss when a bunch of CS researchers are reporting that "mathematicians" are one of the most "replaceable" (good luck designing a new LLM without any knowledge of math).

Overall this post says something about the sad state of twitter and search: I had to dig though quite a few articles which repeated this job replacement crap before I could even find the title of the article (which was then easy to find on arXiv). And go figure, the authors didn't mean to make the statement everyone says they made.

I work in immigration and I akways say somewhat jokingly that if you want to make it in Berlin, you need 3 things: a job, a flat and a date. All of those markets are brutal, but if you have one of those things, it keeps you searching for the other two. Searching for all 3 at once is depressing and if people are unsuccessful for too long, they usually leave Germany altogether.

It does seem like more and more people are giving up on those basic goals. Each of those markets is now controlled by monopolistic platforms, and they're tightening their grip.

I am always amazed how old Zones, ZFS and Jails are.

The article is right in the sense that at the time I knew about Joyent but never created an account on it and I ended up trying AWS. And the main reason was that it could run Linux.

As of today you can find a few companies providing hosting based on Jail [0] but it is very niche

You assume evolution is a force that constrains the advance of humanity in some simple survival-of-the-reproductive way, when instead it is an emergent process that no longer operates this way in humans.

What you have proposed as the only path, we have, in our limited time on this planet, already proven false. The vast majority of people are already not harnessing more and more resources in order to reproduce more.

Java never ran well on the desktop or in the browser (arguably it never truly ran in the browser at all), and it was an extremely low-productivity language in general in that era.

There is a significant gain from running a single language everywhere. Not enough to completely overwhelm everything else - using two good languages will still beat one bad language - but all else being equal, using a single language will do a lot better.

I currently work in an ERP adjacent industry serving M&D. I don’t think this is as beneficial as you think it is.

Your value prop lands really well with the Software Architect in me. That part of my skill set loves the idea of creativity, flexibility, etc.

The Director in me does not want that. That sounds like a money pit, never done, management nightmare. What kind of dev do I hire? Do I need a Product Manager for that? How long will it take? Sounds too hard to get a win as a senior leader.

Most of the software in the adjacent space (and ERPs) have “prescriptions” or an ecosystem to get customizations done. Code may get deployed in a special assembly, a special SDK exists, etc

A prescriptive way to get the job done is much more preferred for predictability, even if it is not as loved by the developers.

I think Carbon is a neat and ambitious offering - happy to chat more with you if desired.

From your first link:

> Those donation totals may be explained, at least in part, by the former president’s policies related to those agencies. Trump has repeatedly vowed to eliminate Education if he is elected. He maintained an adversarial relationship with EPA, proposing in each of his annual budgets to decimate the agency’s spending and meddling in its scientific work. Trump instituted a longstanding hiring freeze at State and referred to it as “the Deep State” Department. Trump has also vowed to do away with a merit-based civil service for much of the federal workforce.

"Employees at institutions being threatened to be dismantled by a presidential candidate do not support that candidate" does not prove what you think it proves. In fact, the same link says Trump got 40% of federal employee donations in 2020, which is much more balanced.

Also donation amounts don't map to votes. From another link on the same site, https://www.govexec.com/pay-benefits/2016/10/federal-employe... --

> The lopsided donations do not necessarily reflect how the federal workforce is voting. The former State Department secretary led the businessman by 5 percentage points among federal employees in a July poll by the Government Business Council, the research arm of Government Executive Media Group, with 42 percent of respondents saying they would vote for Clinton, compared to 37 percent who said the same for Trump.

We'll need more substantial evidence to believe that these institutions are "permanently controlled by Democrats."

When and if alien life is discovered, there’s a high chance the discoverer will be someone who’s spent their career searching for it, rather than someone just stumbling across ironclad proof one fine day.

I’m inclined to let those searchers speculate in public. If society’s rule is that you can’t even speculate about X until you have proof, it will hold back science significantly. History has many such examples of forbidden speculation leading to long delays.

It doesn't take a lot of juice to send signals straight up.

> It's another form of the "How to Get Rich Quick" book where the answer is "Write a book about how to get rich quick".

I dunno if you're joking (or only semi-serious), but, TBH, the largest number of "how to grow your business" courses are all based on how the author/presenter grew a business around a book/video/content called "how to grow your business".

A good example of this is the "Stacking the bricks"(sp?) thing. I looked into so many of these paid courses, and the only experience the author is demonstrating is "how to make money teaching a course on how to make money".

There's an entire, almost incestuous, industry around this, with each "business-person" referencing other business-people's success stories using their "how to grow your business" course in their own "how to grow your business" course, with testimonials from course-completers who made some money out of their own "How to grow your business" course.

From the outside, it looks almost looks like a pyramid, but on closer inspection it appears to be undirected cyclic graph.

[EDIT]

I expect all this to collapse soon, as the cost of producing this useless material is now approaching zero. This means that the participants in this network can now each "produce" new material on a minute by minute/hour by hour basis. When the production of a product is close to zero AND the utility to the consumer is also zero, there is no way for anyone in this network to make money anymore, because the new entrants will be so overloaded with choices (millions of different courses to choose from) that they may never enter the network at all.

Oh that brings memories! Been in quite a few of those.

Basically the ERP vendor sells you the software and estimates that you need a couple months and a couple consultants for the migration and integration, plus a few users of your product as guinea pigs. It is expensive as heck but well, at least it is only two months (plus hotels, plane and food).

After two months you’re halfway done according to the vendor but you need some extra helping hands for the harder features, so you get more consultants, and a department to handle change. You get a few posters.

After a couple years you have eight consultants and a consulting product manager still doing the migration work, plus eight more freelancing ERP experts, and about four engineers from your own team working full time on apis. The work is halfway done, though! Your non-tech staff is juggling between two products and dissenting voices start to appear. You make and distribute t-shirts with texts like “Project Evolution” or “Project Future” to ensure everyone is on board.

After two more years you are almost halfway there, but staff turnover guarantees that people don’t remember the productivity of yore, and the new ERP is judged as good enough. People have gotten used to it, the jokes aren’t as vicious as before, and only a handful of people were fired in the previous years due to the company going severely over budget. But hey nobody gets fired for buying IBM so the boss who decided to blow 15 million on it is fine.

I'd like to give a shoutout to jq for (non-JSON) text processing, and also as an almost-replacement for awk:

echo "foo bar" | jq -Rr 'split(" ")[0]' # prints foo

I say 'almost', because jq right now can't invoke sub processes from within, unlike awk and bash. But otherwise, it's a fully fledged, functional, language.

Most approaches, I assume, will leverage conditional compilation: When (deterministic simulation) testing, use the deterministic async runtime. Otherwise, use the default runtime. That means there's no (runtime) overhead at the cost of increased complexity.

I'm using DST in a personal project. My biggest issue is that significant parts of the ecosystem either require or prefer your runtime to be tokio. To deal with that, I re-implemented most of tokio's API on top of my DST runtime. Running my DST tests involves patching dependencies which can get messy.

Java also has a pretty good compatibility story. I still use python for some applications, but it has created a lot of headaches, and also has the problem of being really slow. YMMV, but usually if you were to rewrite your c++ code in python, you would find that you need 10x as many servers (or likely more) to get the same performance.

Perhaps explains why Indian accent is the way it is - most of the time it's a literal phonetic translation. Words like "champagne" are source of joke for any English learner, but even a simple word like "nature" has a phonetic translation of "Na two rae".

I just installed this on my Wyse cam 2 after using the defang hacks for years. This works all the same but it is much better. Having working night vision where it isn't just randomly enabling the IR filter is great.

Upgrade from dafang was easy if you follow the guide on the github wiki. Getting RTSP working was strange as it wouldn't work over IP but did over local DNS entry, but that's the only issue I've found so far.

It's an outcome of the way money is structured.

Debtors borrow. They get money and spend it. The person holding the money gets paid to not return it (interest). It's like the system is maximally stupid and designed to exacerbate wealth inequality.

The fungibility argument is bullshit here and just serves to obscure. Let's say 10% of money holders refuse to return the money, then 10% of borrowers are screwed. The borrowers can play a game of musical chairs to "decide" who is going to get screwed, but it doesn't change that 10% get screwed.

Oh and the best part? You can't escape money, because it's like a public utility and even if you come up with an alternative, you'll still have to pay taxes, in money. Meaning that money is not just a monopoly, it's inescapable.

A related (restated?) point I like to keep in mind is: acting produces motivation, but you can't count on motivation to produce action.

Taking even the smallest step (or working on something for even 30 seconds) often overcomes the inertia that keeps the task/project unfinished. A little nudge is all I need to start building the momentum that will carry through to completion.
Show HN: Datastripes – No-Code Data Dashboard Builder
by vinserello | 2025-08-05 07:06:56+00:00
Hi HN,

I started building Datastripes as part of my thesis, trying to answer a simple question: How can non-technical teams turn raw data into insights without relying on developers or BI tools?

What began as research has now grown into a working product, built by a small team, focused on solving that exact problem.

Datastripes is a no-code platform for creating dashboards and data visualizations in minutes: no SQL, no setup, no friction.

What it does:

Connects to CSVs, Google Sheets, or APIs

Drag-and-drop dashboard builder

Shareable via public links or embed

Fully browser-based

We’re launching publicly this week and would love feedback from this community, especially from people who've built internal tools, worked with non-technical users, or have felt the pain of "can you pull that data for me?"

Would really appreciate:

First impressions on UX and clarity

Thoughts on performance, edge cases, or integrations

Honest feedback on where this fits (or doesn’t) in the BI/no-code space

Live: https://datastripes.com On Product Hunt: https://producthunt.com/products/datastripes

Happy to answer questions — and grateful for your time and thoughts.

Probably far fewer things than you think, though, as long as you're healthy. You can still have love affairs, travel the world, go to festivals, climb mountains, learn to dance well into your 70s or even 80s, as long as you are healthy. Sure, you might be climbing a small mountain instead of Everest, but small mountains are beautiful too.

Sad to see indeed; "Augmented Reality" in a rather wide definition and opportunistic computing ("I have a calculator with me because my phone has calculator software installed, and I keep a phone with me for tasks it's objectively rather good at (say, for example, FaceTime style video calls, with camera switchable between selfie (front) and surroundings (back))") seem the only actually good/deserving cases for mobile-first.

[Plane in the following refers to the image/sensor plane of the camera.] My understanding is that with both an in-plane and a normal component of translation, together with enough 3D rotation to anchor/calibrate the gyro, the 3D accelerometer's absolute scale can be translated to a fixed-to-earth (Swaying skyscraper doesn't count! On-a-train doesn't count!) static scene's Structure-from-Motion feature/anchor points. In-plane alone just gives you parallax that tells you the _distance ratios_ of the two objects that parallax to another as you translate in-plane; but once you add plane-normal translation, an absolute translation interacts additively to both object's distances thus letting you recover absolute scale not just distance ratios. Of course you'd hope for some suitably good features dense enough in the scene, start out with some optical flow or similar style to get a baseline on gyro calibration and (translation/linear) velocity zeroing, to then get a decent shot at being able to use the SfM point features with very little "brute force" in the SfM alignment/solution process.

AR interactivity allows directing the camera man to collect appropriately dense coverage of the scenario/area before allowing conditions to change (illumination/plant growth; people moving furniture; people moving back to actively use/occupy the space), before one could let the software refine the entire situation as a background task. Once sufficient refinement has been done (during which one would prefer to redirect the interactive AR compute resources to said refining task), one could quickly lock back into a now-static scene which could render the captured version anchored to real-time camera feedback from the real location to practically eliminate the traditionally annoying drift/tracking-artifacting. At least in places with enough light to allow the camera to track non-blurry views of the reference features despite the obviously interactive motion.

To be fair, this isn't what normal Perl usually looks like. Perl allows you to write like this but most people don't. This is more like Duff's Device in that it works and it's clever and you'd can anyone who put it in production code.

That's not to say that idiomatic Perl doesn't have its quirks and oddities - Perl idioms do throw off people who aren't used to them. But this is a bit far even for Perl.

> it's open source so everyone was and is free to take over maintenance

Open source implementations are fine, though the "if you don't like it fork/make your own" argument is, typically a way of sidestepping criticism rather than a practical solution.

But one of Python's greatest weaknesses is that there is no formal language specification. All you have are implementations and their documentation.

I like what Rust offers over C++ in terms of safety and community culture, but I don't enjoy being a tool builder for ecosystem gaps, I rather spend the time directly using the tools that already exist, plus I have Java and .NET ecosystems for safety, as I am really on the automatic resource management side.

Zig, is really Modula-2 in C's cloathing, I don't like the kind of handmade culture that has around it, and its way of dealing with use after free I can also get in C and C++, for the last thirty years, it is a matter of actually learning the tooling.

Thus C++ it is, for anything that isn't can't be taken over by a compiled managed language.

I would like to use D more, but it seems to have lost its opportunity window, although NASA is now using it, so who knows.
