they still have to report it.

readily located a variety of news outlets investigating the same question and summarizing that in waymos case human drivers were mostly at fault… even if you ignore stuff that smacks of PR/industry or from waymo itself…

piling on to the flaws in comparing these: waymos operate in major metros that just have higher crashes and claims to begin with. im spitballing with nationwide averages but i think a serious inquiry/research would have to drill into the crash rates for the cities theyre operating in and where each incident occurred.

eg, i live in los angeles and have over 2,000,000 incident free miles out here but ive been hit no less than four times in austin TX and doubt i even cracked 20,000mi there.

I’d be interested in how waymo compares against LA drivers operating in LA…… against Austin drivers operating in Austin. More so than how they compare to all drivers on average nationwide. Without assessing that… say if waymo has a comparable incident rate as Tesla in Austin, youd be overlooking that by comparing a company operating in multiple markets- to one thats only in Austin.

In some early computers, the bootstrap was actually a matrix of diodes where you'd remove a diode to get a one and leave it in for a zero. I had a bunch of these boards sometime in the mid 1970's and found you could program a fully populated board with a 9V battery - basically connect it across a diode in a bit position where you wanted a '1', there would be a small but pretty flash from inside the glass case as a zero turned into a one.

When things like the 74S188 were available, we had so much fun squeezing bootstrap code for PDP11's into 2 of them; 32 words by 16 bits was more than enough (later I got code that would boot five different devices into 256 words).

If this is true, it will be a significant change in strategy. The company has always played upmarket. Average iPhone prices have risen since the first iPhone 18 years ago, as opposed to falling. Around that time, I heard Apple's CFO say at a Citigroup-hosted investor conference that his company could release a $799 computer "but we don't want to".

Jai here, from Autofix Bot team. We've published results of the initial benchmark run[1] comparing Gitleaks, detect-secrets and trufflehog ~3 weeks ago. In the meantime, we've put together a significantly improved dataset, and we're planning to rerun those benchmarks shortly; will include Kingfisher to the list, and share the results here.

Btw, we use Kingfisher's validation system internally for generating request/expected_response pairs for a given secret, as the last step of the pipeline. We don't run/call the validation queries ourselves, due to rate limit issues. But, we add this information in a structured format as part of the response which can be executed on the client side (or) by the user who is integrating via the API. Thanks for building it :)

We have specific police training for these situations, for this very reason. Additionally, police that go outside of their training are liable for their actions.

DHS is completely bypassing these rules, which are in place for the reason of maintaining peace with society. Breaking these rules not only cause civil unrest, but open an avenue for society to hold DHS and ICE legally accountable.

Point solar panels away from the Sun and they work as rudimentary radiators :).

More seriously though, the paper itself touches on cooling and radiators. Not much, but that's reasonable - cooling isn't rocket science :), it's a solved problem. Talking about it here makes as much sense as taking about basic attitude control. Cooling the satellite and pointing it in the right direction are solved problems. They're important to detail in full system design, but not interesting enough for a paper that's about "data centers, but in space!".

I upvoted you even though we presently disagree because you bring an honest perspective to the discussion.

The main reason I was drawn to the Catholic Church was that I believed in transubstantiation, or at least the real presence. I was drawn to the history of the Church and through prayer and conversations as well as a supernatural event as well as a dream I prayed for, I finally came to accept that praying with saints was not worshiping them. All prayers with saints go directly to God, but sometimes having someone intercede for you, as Mary did at the wedding feast at Cana, helps you with God.

If you have an open mind to switching churches, I recommend the following:

1. Pray to God to guide you to the right Church. I believe that he may be guiding some people to the Catholic Church, others to the Orthodox Church, and some to Protestant churches. Or He may have a real preference. I'm not sure, but I tried pretty hard to figure out where to go and I ended up in the Catholic Church.

2. Take the core issues that are show stoppers for you and research (and pray) them from the other perspective. Like I did with prayer with saints.

3. If you are feeling to be led to a certain church, get the full catechism of that church and read through it. I was shocked at how little I disagreed with the Catholic Church's catechism. It gave me confidence that I was truly being led to Catholicism.

4. Talk to Christians that you look up to. This is what I did with prayer with saints. There was a Christian uncle of mine (not blood, married in) that I was just completely sure that he was a real Christian and he was a Catholic. He explained it to me in ways that made sense and he answered any of my questions. I ended up adopting his middle name Jacques. Which leads to the funny sounding name Zach Jacques Aysan.

I've prayed for you. God Bless!

This is because the LLMs they're built on are cool, helpful, and utterly untrustworthy.

But being utterly untrustworthy does tend to call into question the value of the help.

But they're still so cool. You just gotta have something to show for the $ trillions spent in venture capital.

Hmm… “DIRECTIVE 2011/92/EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 13 December 2011, on combating the sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children and child pornography, and replacing Council Framework Decision 2004/68/JHA”

I wonder if made a mistake, but that's the one I had open. I understand it doesn't impose specific penal choices, but I still think the punishment was fairly lenient.

> and aboutour moral superiority compared to those that didn't intervene back then..

Didn't intervene? You act like it was an act of charity. We didn't "intervene" until the germans declare war on us.

> And then look at tens of thousand of people being mass murdered by a genocidal civilization and complain that Spain intervened because...

Spain "intervened"? The genocidal civilization was Spain, not the aztecs. The aztecs didn't wipe themselves out. The spanish did.

> Were we wrong to destroy half of Europe to stop Germany too?

Who is we? Who destroyed half of europe to stop germany?

> Really trilled to know future generation will talk about us as the bad guys because we destroyed German art and books as we stopped a literal mass genocide.

Did we wipe out the germans? Did we wipe out the german language, culture, history, etc? Are you really equating what we did to germany to what the spaniards did to the aztecs?

A lot of the comments on here are too pessimistic. Deepnote has had the single best jupyter interface for years now - unfortunately locked behind a cloud subscription though. Jupyter itself has been stagnant for far too long, and it's much appreciated there's more options coming online that have a modern level of polish.

Marimo is great, but it's good to have competition in the space (especially when both projects are still owned and maintained by VC backed companies).

I've found that notebooks are great for ad hoc reporting and analysis scripts. Once you have your quick and dirty script, it is trivial to convert to a notebook and you get a lot for little. Being able to change one cell and rerun just that is a godsend for getting reports "just right", and the "show your work" and visual aspect make them much more consumable and trusted by other people.

I'm used to people arguing for simpler setups because the belief is that they could make them more performant. This was specifically the push for RISC back in the day, no?

To that end, I was assuming the idea would be that we think we could have faster systems if we didn't have this stuff. If that is not the assumption, I'm curious what the appeal is?

The ultimate "out of sight out of mind" solution to a problem?

I'm surprised that Google has drunken the "Datacenters IN SPACE!!!1!!" kool-aid. Honestly I expected more.

It's so easy to poke a hole in these systems that it's comical. Answer just one question: How/why is this better than an enormous solar-powered datacenter in someplace like the middle of the Mojave Desert?

The way yunohost at least with some apps tries to integrate Directory Services / ldap for Single Sign On is pretty hard to beat, as a feature.

But yeah this is pretty nice looking. Its be neat for more of these selfhosting platforms to be able to better speak to their architecture & philosophy: just digging in and looking at examples of how they bundle / config their apps is great, but something above the source level as an intro would be lovely. These platforms should be more alluring to folks a couple steps beyond simple idealized clueless selfhosting operator, round sphere man.

> I am complaining about the Transit, Sprinter and their ilk.

Good thing you specified that in your comment [1] then, where you wrote

> Fiat, Mercedes or Ford

and never used the word Sprinter once, so of course I should deduce that was the vehicle you were talking about, along with the full size Transit, especially since the linked Road and Track article was discussing the Transit Custom, which has never reached the states and is of the smaller NV200 size class, so please forgive me for the confusion.

The great thing about the Sprinter is that it's big and tall and spacious inside. Unfortunately, the problem with the Sprinter is that it's big and tall, which is a real problem in high wind conditions. Yeah it could stand to have a bigger engine and beefier chassis, no argument from me there, but I have a carpenter friend who uses it to haul around his tools and lumber and he loves his so much that he bought a second one. The Sprinter's not got the powertrain of a GMC Savannah or RAM 2500 or F-250 Super Duty, but saying it's only good for moving boxes full of air is hyperbole.

As far as vehicle turnover goes, given the stronger union protections that workers in the trades in Europe get, not having to drive a busted 15 year old work truck that veers to the left because the suspension is shot and gets eight miles to the gallon doesn't seem like, to me, a bad thing! The most brilliant electrician I know owns his own business, but is driving a 15-year work truck that should have been replaced 10 years ago, but he can't afford to replace it.

IMO, the real question is who's going to be first to come out with a work truck/van that's comma.ai compatible. That thing makes driving long distances so much more stomachable. Not going to hold my breath for Waymo or Tesla or anybody else to compete there. Well except Mercedes, but that still likely to be a premium Mercedes car feature for a long time and not something on any of their brands work vehicles. Supposedly some F-150's can take it, but afaik those ones are the premium package, already have Blue Cruise, and aren't fleet vehicles anywhere (I'd love to be wrong though!).

We got early access to Tinker from Thinking Machines and spent the week putting it through its paces here at Ramp Labs.

We used it to explore how RL post training performance changes when splitting data by domain and training an ensemble of specialized models versus a single model trained on everything at once.

Tinker handled the heavy lifting like infrastructure, async rewards, and GPU orchestration so we could focus on the experimentation loop instead of wrangling configs or pipelines. It’s one of the smoother experiences we’ve had running large scale RL workflows. Check out our findings.

I really think more people should give Windsurf a go. It's really good. I'm a senior engineer and do a mix of agentic and regular coding and I really think people are looking past Windsurf.

As the conversation shifted towards Cursor vs Claude code vs Codex people seem to have stopped mentioning it which is a shame.

Codemaps was a very pleasant surprise when it showed up.

> But It might be the right way to teach it to physics students.

Having studied physics, I would disagree rather strongly. I only really started understanding Special Relativity once I had a clear understanding of the math. (And then it becomes almost trivial.) Those of my fellow class mates, however, who didn't take the time to take those additional (completely optional) math classes, ended up not really understanding it at all. They still got confused by what it all meant, by the different paradoxes, etc.

I saw the same effect when, later, I was a teaching assistant for a General Relativity class.

I'm not versed enough in the full history of Israel, but perhaps attacking several of your neighbours, buying anti-citizen and anti-journalism spyware, raping prisoners, keeping a de facto dictator in power… well, I think Israel has done plenty to smear its own image.

Am I in a bubble? Because for more than a year I'd be hard pressed to find anyone in my country that would still be pro-Israel as a whole. Some nuanced support, surely, but also widespread condemnation.

Hey everyone!

I just released my new Android idle game called Idle Fishing. You can catch fish, upgrade your boat, and enjoy a relaxing experience by the sea.

I made all the pixel art myself and built everything from scratch using LibGDX.

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback — especially from other indie devs!

> We have accepted that there is both biological sex and gender

This is close to the real point of dispute, on which there are approximately three main positions, which amount to two political camps because the last two positions drive the same political conclusion (and can be hard to distinguish):

(1) Sex, socially-ascribed gender, and gender identity are real and distinct things, all of which are (or in the case of active gender should be) multidimensional spectra though they may have something like a bimodal distribution which can naively look binary, and normatively ascribed gender should be aligned to gender identity;

(2) Sex and ascribed gender and gender identity are real and distinct things, the former is a crisp binary defined by particular physical traits (which traits varies among holders of the belief and over time; gross anatomy was popular, combination of X & Y chromosomes was popular, gamete size is currently the most popular), and normatively both ascribed gender and gender identity should conform to sex; when gender identity specifically does not it is a kind of mental illness, that should be treated and corrected, not accommodated and validated;

(3) Sex and ascribed gender are real and distinct things with the nature and relationship described in #2, but gender identity does not exist and is a myth invoked to excuse personal moral deviance and/or sexual perversion.

What does testing one nuke say about the thousands of nukes you have stockpiled? The point is: having a nuclear weapon is already a major deterrent and no one is going to poke your buttons to find out if they work or not. Doing a test detonation doesn't move the needle at all.

Environmentally, not at all neglible. Financially, probably since we fund our military more than anyone else.

I’m exploring i18n solutions for a SaaS project and comparing tools like i18next, next-intl, LinguiJS, Tolgee, Phrase, Lokalise, and Crowdin. I recently discovered Intlayer, an open-source dev-native CMS that integrates directly with React, Next.js, Vue, and Nuxt. It keeps translations close to code, automates missing keys, and connects to CI/CD. Has anyone here tried it or compared it with Tolgee or Phrase in production?

Reddit is community-driven and public. You post in a subreddit, people in that community see it based on upvotes. Information routing is manual (search/browse/vote).

Facts is the opposite: it's individual-driven and about routing. You share something, our AI understands your interests, and delivers it to specific people who need it. Not to a community feed.

Plus when you think about it there are some infos you would not share on reddit. small piece of content, personal news, or more localized infos. And it can sometimes be scary to post.

However much you're comfortable sharing! Obviously ideal would be the full source for the "overly complicated" solution, but naturally that's a no go, so even just more words than a two word phrase "overly complicated". Was it complicated because it used 17 classes with no inheritance and 5 would have done it? Was it overly complicated because it didn't use functions and so has the same logic implemented in 5 different places?

I'm not asking you, generically, about what bad code do LLMs produce. It sounds like you used Claude Code in a specific situation and found the generated code lacking. I'm not questioning that it happened to you, I'm curious in what ways it was bad for your specific situation more specifically than "overly complicated". How was it overly complicated?

Even if you can't answer that, maybe you could help me reword the phrasing of my original comment so it's less perplexing?
