I kind of feel safer in Asia, not because of the speeds, but because the way that traffic works. It is a system of avoidance, kind of like how a school of fish works. You are expected to avoid the people around you. If everyone avoids everyone else, then nobody gets into an accident. There is also very little road rage here. Showing signs of anger is considered culturally inappropriate.

In the US, you are literally a target. Road rage is a thing. Someone turning left or right on you happens all the time. In Vietnam, cars turn really slowly and usually in a predictable manner.

Now, the issue is that when things go wrong, they go really wrong. Vietnam has one of the highest rates of road deaths in the world [1] [2]. I think these numbers are actually low, because not all deaths even get reported. Also, not everyone dies... non-fatal accidents happen constantly here.

The other issue is that this is a relatively young country for people behind the wheel of a car. Cars have only been widely accessible here for the last ~10 years and it is growing. The level of skill for drivers is extremely low, the education testing is a joke. There is constantly videos of people driving their car/bus/truck through a group of people, house or off the road because they mistake the gas for the brake. Or even worse... side effect accidents...

Did you read the article? Zoox reportedly drive from Menlo Park to SF including high speed driving on 101 and crowded city driving in SF.
What I'd like to know is whether the custom submarine was used in any capacity during the rescue, and whether the pedophile accusations towards the British diver have any merit. What are the facts in this story ?
I think that’s quite an exaggeration - there are quite a few DNS providers who can do intelligent DNS LB for you and don’t care what your backend is (gcp/AWS/azure/onprem). Won’t even cost you a million bucks.
Note that I'm not sure how FFI calls out of Unity's VM compare to those of cgo.
Let me know what you guys think about this program!
That's seems to contradict a recent benchmark/post [1] which showed impressive CPU performance from the i9 MacBook Pro.

I thought that was gpu manufacturer issue? I recall Nvidia specifically had a lot of issues across many oems.
Exactly like that :)

I did find reference to a-la-carte when I looked but the page was 404ing so I assumed it was unsupported or in beta. Thanks!
Bubkes. A middlebox can transparently rewrite incoming packets' port numbers from 22 to 2200, and backwards.
It pains me how correct this feels. The MacBook Pro becomes an echo of itself every generation.

Soon, the beat fades and we're left in the dells
Theranos agrees!
This is the same project that didn't give any funding to Clifford Wolf (of YOSYS fame) so they could give it to ADI, TI, Xilinx, Cadence and Synopsys, etc.

I expect nothing to come of this. With the fox watching the hen house, there will be no change.
Not surprised given how thin the thing is.
Theoretically you would combine the new tech with the old tech. Quantum state would be another measurement to make on the incoming wave on top of measurements like frequency and amplitude.
I think OP was jovially referring to a similar comment regarding Amazon because of their recent Prime day outage.
The dream of a durable, programmable graphing calculator with a high-resolution AMOLED display with solid graphics processing, touch screen as pointing device, and hard QWERTY keyboard with no other major frills (no network interfaces, no android, no app stores or apps, thus facillitating a subversive, loyal ROM underground scene), for less than $50 USD may yet come true.
I was smoked up in colorado for the old "Lets take down Dyn real quick" BS a couple years ago. I know this very well, things like to run for months without issue, and I'm off for an afternoon with the phone ringing.
Nothing but rage I feel looking at videos like this. Unbearably confident man in a flat cap speaks about the technology of the century like it’s nothing, and his handheld scientist (who actually google blah google stanford) will make sure that shit get to work. Reporter never feels wrong or sceptic as he’s born yesterday morning. “Hey, Jesse, double-check your AI doesn’t hit trucks like these fools, okay?” — smiling man in flat cap unpacks last pack of hundreds into counting machine, reloading misdetected papers back as it counts to 500. “We’re to ship next year, two years max. Jesse and I work hard here to deliver. We already drove the entire SF via keyboard, now just wait. Man, that’s gonna be a thing!”

A whole essence of investments fraud, dragged to the edge of the sense. And they politely call it ‘pitch’ in this thread. So cute.
I'm not a traditionalist or fundamentalist at all, but this... This is horrifying and degenerate. The fact that we're even talking about this is sickening. The sex robots at the end made it a one-two punch, too.

Have you guys ever heard the thing about social movements and pendulums? The pendulum swung way, _way_ too far after the sexual revolution.
Which caps your upgrade at whatever largest size Apple ever sold, which you may already have.
I’m sticking with my 2015 15” until it bites the dust and then probably getting something else if Apple hasn’t figured this out yet. Even there software is degrading. I feel like I’m doing better by not running updates (I know this is not so, for security reasons, but...)
Given the degree to which people waste time and money taking supplements that do absolutely nothing, this doesn’t seem like a great idea. Sure, if you are on HN and stay up late reading meta-analyses it would be fine, but then governing the “Democratic Republic of HN” would be very easy in many ways.

If there was actually a proper system to enable evidence based and cost-effective usage of pharmaceuticals without doctors it might improve things for patients, but I don’t see that there is.
Hard to say. Some people got temporary fixes by baking their logic boards and/or reballing the GPU.

IIRC the "recall" involved replacing the logic boards with refurbs having the same GPUs. The CPUs on the boards seemed to be throttled after the replacement.
The slimness makes it more aerodynamic, which is actually a thermal benefit in some high-speed air tunnels. Apple knows what they’re doing.
In case anyone is curious, the “various reasons” are the Opium Wars, collapse of the Qing dynasty/monarchy, World War 2, the subsequent civil war and the Great Leap Forward.
I probably wouldn’t use “a mess” to describe all those events though.

I guess what the previous OP meant by “potential of its people” is their historical culture, akin to why the Jews are generally quite successful on the whole (attributed to their culture).
This coming not even one month after the CEO of Intel, Brian Krzanich, resigned after violating that company's code of conduct by having an undisclosed relationship with an employee. Similar to Brian Crutcher at TI, he too had been at the company for more than 20 years and worked his way up to CEO.

The irony (hoping I’m not doing an Alanis here) of he being an audio only video is excruciating.

Again: I am super done with 5+ minute videos that would be faster to read and more universally available as an article or slideshow.

I can’t comment on the content because I’m not somewhere I can listen, and I don’t want to spend 20 minutes listening.
Judging by the logs they’re mostly going after low-hanging fruit - Wordpress and similar software with default username and password . They probably get quite a few hits.

I misread this as "Glowing Wolf Population", and was unreasonably excited for a second.

The reality is still exciting. That, Radiotrophic fungi[1], and other phenomena also form a sort of a silver lining to the tragedy that brought all of that into existence.

>Quarantine only delays the length of time the cheater/spammer knows they've been caught, usually on the order of days

Days are crucially important in a game's development cycle. This is because the modern review style is structured around "first impressions", since interest in a game is an L-curve: the first person to get a review out can sometimes claim a lion's share of ad-revenue from possible viewers.

This means preventing cheating "on the order of days" can protect your game's review scores during the most critical review period.
The only impressive one was single core. Otherwise it was in line with a laptop, and not a desktop.
That introduces problems too. If you try to use sugar like '+' with an implementation that doesn't support it, you don't get any sort of error. Instead you get a different expression.

Unfortunately, there's an inherent tradeoff between encoding efficiency and error detection. Notice that with the VerbalExpressions it would be trivial to return a useful error message if the 'at_least_one' pattern did not exist.
Not to trivialize the great unsolved question of WTF is consciousness... I think it's a bit easier to reason about this problem than you think.

For example, generally Star Trek wants us to presume the murder and cloning occur simultaneously. Let's say they don't. In the case that the murder occurs before the cloning, the waters are admittedly still muddy. Is it, in fact, like waking up from a sleep? Not very easy to tell.

However, if we presume that the murder occurs after the cloning, things become quite clear. There can definitely only be one physical me in which I am conscious -- I feel comfortable rejecting an assertion that I would experience multiple simultaneous consciousnesses of a sequence of atomwise clones.

Therefore, we work backwards. If I can't experience more than one consciousness simultaneously, then I can't experience two. If you clone me, I am not that clone, I am still the original. As the time between cloning and murdering (t) approaches zero, the same holds true. I am comfortable asserting there's nothing special about consciousness that would cause instantaneous consciousness transfer as (t) reaches zero and then becomes negative. Therefore a transporter clone will not be me from my perspective. Therefore the murder is my death, and the cloning is a birth of a new completely separate consciousness that I will never experience.
Still sounds like it was a fun lark for a while.
The effect isn’t isolated to low-skill manufacturing.
I have worked in factories and I can confirm that the people claiming safety violations in the factory (in the Reddit link) are completely biased. It's a complete hack job and I don't even know how you could see it any other way. I've worked in the best factories in the country and we would not live up to the standards of those reporters. You could literally walk into any factory and find conditions worse. If these reporters cared about the welfare of workers all they have to do is check in on five random factories in their area and I guarantee they will find appalling conditions that actually warrant reporting.

Furthermore, everywhere I look people are hating on Elon musk. People defending musk are in the minortiy by a Longshot. So it irritates me when everyone piles on me for being a fan boy. I personally don't understand why these articles keep appearing here, especially since they don't follow guidelines and also since the issue has been beaten like a dead horse here and everywhere else.

Edit

Wow, this article is actually not a biased attack. I wrote the comment assuming it was because of the rarity of unbiased writing of any kind regarding musk. What I don't get is why everyone thinks musk should be sued for libel because people call each other pedophiles maybe literally once every second on Twitter. That's like saying that he should be sued for calling someone a liar because that's also libel I think. It's just stupid.
Depends on the workload and amount of time spent processing the workloads.

Dave Lee ran some tests that took a half hour to complete with the CPU pretty much maxed out. I would imagine the CPU was running hot for most of that time.
What I meant is you can't necessarily amortize loss in the event of a localized catastrophe. Failure modes in a single location are by definition not always statistically independent. You could have 99.99999% durability for 20 years, but if something happens to the datacenter that causes total loss, you're SOL. Geographical redundancy vastly reduces the risk of freak occurrences that you can't predict.
Backblaze suggests a “3-2-1” backup strategy. You should always have at least one backup on site. If a remote backup becomes inaccessible, you could move over to another remote access provider.
Why should we care if it was used, the guy was trying to help. If they moved faster and didn't end up using it then so what?
I can definitely see how a century of wars and conflicts can erode a society’s moral values.

Expansionist foreign policy? How so?
Perhaps the South China Sea?
I keep seeing thermal issues come back to bite some of the smartest companies with products designed by the world's best engineers. Everything from batteries to laptops to phones is severely affected by heat, and improper thermal design can lead to some huge issues.

For example, the biggest thing affecting battery life is thermal load. The biggest thing affecting the maximum sustained power of a laptop or phone is the thermal design. Anyone can slap a cheap, powerful chip in; good thermal design is much harder.

I think people are going to start realizing this more and more, especially as powerful chips get extremely cheap.
You don't want a general "radio decoder". You want a 4G modem.

That's consumer products. DoD wants generality even if it costs more.

The electronics industry ignores what DoD wants because DoD won't buy a million parts a month. That's been going on for a long time. It really upset some USAF generals in the 1980s; they were used to driving the industry, not following it. It's gotten worse since, because the center of the electronics industry has moved to Asia.

This project is a niche thing for military short-run production. That's fine. There may be commercial spinoffs. But it's aimed at DoD's needs.
Wait, what? Why would allowing cheaters to run rampant mean people accused others of cheating LESS?
The sheer ignorance of this comment is astounding, bordering on breathtaking.

You have clearly no idea whatsoever about how any of it works, what would you even do with this ideal simulator? Nothing, because you don't even understand the basics.

I want a truck powered by starlight and dreams, but at least I know I'm being unreasonable.
Eh, with srv records and port forwarding one IP can easily serve 20,000+sites.
Twitch is more like live-sports, at least the streams I watch, which are Soulsborne (Dark Souls, Bloodborne, etc) speedruns. I'm self-employed, so it makes watching easier, but definitely not every night. Some of these streamers will play the same game for 8+ hours a day... for years. It's insane.
>> we all know that storing date/time data is hard

But... it's not hard. That's the point. This isn't a hard decision and has nothing to do with regional vs global. The lesson was learned by the entire industry decades before the company existed so a modern engineering team making that mistake, and never fixing it, is definitely open for criticism.
and how do you propose a server in Australia is going to achieve 10ms to a server in the US?

Why is the server to server latency going to be less than the ISP's natural routes?

Consider some way to avoid the $1 listing problem that plagues sites. That price is nearly always just a gimmick to get attention or hit on most searches rather than be a real offer.
There are multiple factors, but slimness is probably not the only culprit.

I don't think Apple (or most other PC vendors) use the best thermal compound on their CPUs.

When my early 2011 MBP was having heat problems, I replaced the compound over the CPU and GPU and got noticeable although not spectacular reductions in heat.

Of course, that's not something you can do on a "modern" Macbook Pro, since they're not intended to be user serviceable any more.
> Violations of the code may be punishable by reprimand or termination, and in some cases, are criminal offenses. No provision of this code may be waived for any director, officer or employee.

That's helpful, but whoever created the code can change it.
It wouldn’t be RPN so it might as well not exist.
Hell, in light of the factory that the NRA was caught colluding with a Russian National, it's very much not true.
Dave Lee's youtube video is a withering takedown, presented dispassionately.

His argument is such a slam dunk that the article concludes with stunned disbelief, speculating that maybe there's "something wrong with the MacBook Pro with Core i9 chip that Lee received".

Yes there's something wrong with it, that was the exact point of his video. Do people really think he just got a lemon?
The private plans you refer to are mainly either simply administrators (the government pays them to administer the benefits) or supplemental providers or both. And their existence and popularity has more to do with their sponsorship by insurance funded politicians than anything else. Dealing with these administrators isn't generally better or worse than dealing with the government directly. Exceptions exist, but that goes without saying.
It speaks to whether it was useful in any capacity. There's also a point to be made about advertising having a solution to a problem without actually having solved any instance of it in practice.
It does. Around half of all financial asset wealth is ordinary people’s retirement savings. And that’s nothing compared to the wealth the American middle class holds in home equity.

High-flying Wall Street types are ultimately dealing with regular people’s money (often through indirections like pension funds).
What is a landing page?
They incorporated in 2014... probably didn't start serious development until they were properly capitalized in mid 2015 (with $40 million in July 2015 and $250 million in Oct 2016 [1]). Waymo started 9yrs ago.

It's not bad being in 3rd place against Google and Cruise/GM in a few years.

This type of thing can improve rapidly as they start doing real-world testing... which you cite yourself has merely begun (on real roads mind you, not testing in closed environments). 2200 miles is hardly anything to measure against. Which sounds like months of testing vs Waymo's years.

Not to mention they are developing full new vehicles as well, not just the driving AI software. Which might be highly valuable to a major car company who could acquire them at a significant multiple.

This type of pessimism based on a single metric is toxic and naive regarding how tech companies are built.

...Not to mention there was no claim in this article that they were at Waymo's level or anything but at a very early stage of development.

In fairness, Lee criticized the Dell XPS 15's thermals in a video a couple of days ago. Of course, he also posted a video last week about how he was starting to hate Apple products.

If you watch a lot of his videos, you'll notice that he almost always talks about thermals, so it's not surprising to see him focus on that aspect of the MBP.
Borderlands was fun until the cheaters showed up, and this even as a cooperative game.

People with hacked 999999999-damage guns warp in, splat everything and even if they dont steal all the loot, they make the entire game pointless.

You couldnt do anything about it but leave. There was no ban system users could appeal to.

Though some fun memories were had with cheaters in other competitive games, like coordinating to try to take down or hide from literally invincible opponents.

Ask HN: Interviewing potential cofounders
I plan on interviewing potential cofounders by working with them on a few projects/tasks and seeing how we gel. Any advice on specific questions I should ask/things to watch out for?

Also, if things don't work out between us, how do I make sure that they don't walk out with company code or docs (shared with them during said projects/tasks) on their laptop? Do people usually make them sign a contract saying they won't do so? I'd appreciate any suggestions!
Well said.
I think this describes the phenomenon perfectly.
It’s not complete anarchy, everything goes sort of situation.
There is a set of hidden rules that most people abide by.

A contrast with a typical Western setting is it doesn’t tend to gravitate towards violence (in my experience). Whereas, a confrontation could easily lead to a violent situation in most Western countries.
Ask HN: How to get my “If in [contact list]” email rule applied from server?
Hey! My email is driving me crazy. On Mac—I have a beautiful inbox that just works. On iOS—I have a crazy inbox that dumps everything in my Inbox. Would love to apply my rules based framework at server-level. Oddly-Outlook, Gmail, among others don't have a "Apply rule to [Contact List]". Anyone know of a good server that can do this?
I don't understand the hate for Elon (though the response to Unsworth was disproportionate). His offer to help seemed to stem mainly from a curiosity in solving the problem and having the ability to potentially help. Great PR wasn't guaranteed from it (ex. if they used the sub and a kid died in it). Then came critiques from people on Twitter who have never built anything. Maybe it's a mix of envy + his willingness to fight back against inaccuracies.
Is this throttling in the chip itself? Or is it something that e.g. Linux (the kernel) needs to be taught specifically for make/model? Or some combination of the two? And is it possible that the in-chip limiter is more of an emergency limit, and hitting it regularly can result in long term consequences if the kernel doesn't do aggressive enough limiting?

I just see really different behavior with heat, fans, and kernel behavior between XNU vs Linux, and Windows vs Linux on the same hardware.
It does seem that they put in a lot of effort to construct their device so I'm less inclined to call the engineering part of it a PR stunt.
Personally I'd rather have a 4G modem that can I can reprogram for something useful after my phone is obsolete, but I'll take the special purpose chip if it's cheaper. What I don't want is a general purpose SDR that's been artificially nerfed to provide only 4G while 90% of the cost is in licensing.
That’s why I personally like his style. He does not get overly dramatic and simply presents his opinion. I much rather prefer this over fake emotions of people like unbox therapy or Linus tech tips
