There should be a lot of signals to perceive where the user is sitting. If the phone is resting in the center console, the accelerometers can tell whether it is being lifted up to the right or to the left of the car whenever it is being used. It could tell whether it is resting in the center console or the left or right side of the car depending on the shape of arc, distance travelled, centrifugal forces whenever the car follows the road around a left vs. a right turn.

If they care about accuracy to put in the engineering investment, it could be right a very high percentage of the time.

Show HN: SameVideos – Find Copies of a YouTube Video
I can't remember them pulling games off consoles - when people discovered games allowing code execution on the 3DS, Nintendo either marked patches as mandatory as soon as they were ready (so you couldn't play without updating) or attempted to block the exploit on the OS side (as they did with Cubic Ninja, since the studio behind it shuttered)
Have you used any of those on a car which didn’t require using a touchscreen while driving? I have boggled at recent rentals after seeing how far car UIs have regressed over the last decade – so many things require you to move your hands to controls which cannot be used without looking, are extremely fiddly, or pull your attention away from the road.

Toss in the studies showing that handsfree usage doesn’t lower the distraction factor and I’m wondering whether the answer is banning anything short of a full HUD and that only for navigation.
Hi, I'm the author of SameVideos.

SameVideos is a search engine that helps you find copies of a YouTube video. You just paste the URL of a video and you should get a list of near-duplicated videos sorted by similarity. So basically, this is like TinEye or Google Images but for videos.

As far as I know, this is the only free to use, real-time(ish) reverse video search engine on the web right now.

Obviously I haven't crawled all of YouTube and the duplicate detector's accuracy could still improve A LOT. However, I think this still shows that you don't need a million dollars to run a project of this scope. In fact, the whole thing is currently running in a $5/mo VPS (I hope it doesn't break ).

If you have any questions, feedback, or reasons this sucks, please post them and I'll try to answer to all of them.
"should" is the operative word.
Don't forget the guy who went to Pizza Restaurant and shot the gun into the ceiling because he said there were kid sex dungeons.
So who else is planning to have 1600+ satellites in orbit by mid 20's?

And can any of these competitors compete on orbital insertion price / rocket availability with SpaceX?

The entire concept is that SpaceX is basically going for backbone global fiber delivery, not end users as first customers at first at least.

As long as SpaceX can do the Satellite tech needed, I can't see how they can loose long term. Elon does not think small.
Boeing shot themselves in the foot after the awful outsourced supply chain [0] and battery problems on the 787 which meant that they had less financial resources available to go clean sheet and instead they adapted an old design.

Glad to hear you've given up red meat. Not to preach too much here, but why just red meat?

Poultry, for example, is no better. Male chicks are dumped onto conveyor belts and ground alive as they provide no value to the farmers (for meat or eggs).

Dairy farms are also equal to or worse than the factory farms you mentioned.
If you could actually compete against fiber I feel like the funding would be very easy to acquire if your first step was linking up the various stock exchanges - those guys pay up the nose for even slight latency decreases.
Re: going out of their way to make their photos look worse... make your images look as if they were taken with an old-school throwaway camera...

It's comparable to torn jeans. My mom would say, "We spent a lot of effort to keep our clothes clean and tear-free, and now you guys pre-tear them."
It also depends on how you're operating the phone for necessary operation.

Looking at your phone propped in front of you on a windshield or dash-mounted holder is fine. Looking down at your phone in the center cupholder while still driving is not fine, and I've had the unfortunate experience of almost being in accidents because the rideshare driver is doing something that dangerous.
I think we need only reflect on our own likely response to any conceivable attempt by a previous civilisation to so forewarn us, to realise the futility of our attempting likewise.
Anti-vax is what happens when people "think for themselves". Medical regulation doesn't solve every problem, but it solves many problems that we would have in addition to our current ones.
I agree. I spend a lot of time trying to develop what I (internally) refer to as 'micro' habits. So, needless to say, thanks for the book rec! Sounds like just what I need.
I understand burden of proof, but this is an internet forum. It's nobody's job to present research to backup their claims. It's lazy in this context to post asking someone for proof of their claims. Look it up yourself if you care so much. Or stay quiet.

Not everyone has realtime needs. If you're not voice chatting or playing realtime games it's not that bad.
zero is currently unachievable, fine. But something that reduces the footprint by 99% shouldn't be discarded because it's 1% away from perfection.

I have a zojirushi mug that lasts about 2-3 years. I use it daily and keep it in my bag. It's been in 8 countries this year alone. It probably saves about 600 or so cups so even if it is 10 times more energy to build the canister I have it's still 98% less aggregate energy.

A reduction of 2 orders of magnitude is quite substantial.

The gains here from simply using a reusable cup are equivalent to say, getting a car that got 3000 mpg but had some minor inconvenience such as needing 3 minutes to warm up when you turned it on.
> In addition, knowing human nature and our propensity for conspiracy theories, there will be people in the future who think all those signs were put there to dissuade people from finding a massive buried treasure. After all, the phrasing is pretty much what you would expect if someone had buried a treasure and wanted to scare people from digging for it.

This precisely had me thinking about a science fiction plot, along those lines: human colonists discover a massively booby trapped monument left behind by some long extinct alien civilization, and make great sacrifice to penetrate into its depths, only to realize in the end that nothing was hidden underneath except radioactive waste.

I remember reading about line-of-sight microwave links being used for trading here on HN. I think line of sight is the key difference between fiber and radio.
Something made the story drop nearly 30 places instantaneously. What exactly that was is unknown, but what we do know is that there exists some mechanism to move articles to a lower slot than their relative submission times and upvotes would normally place them.
Sure - if the want to risk China/NKorea/Iran shooting those satellites out of space. Seems a bad gamble so I doubt they'll provide service to those countries.
Serious algorithmic traders use point-to-point microwave links, because the speed of radio waves in air is about 50% faster than light in a glass fiber.
They want control over the look and feel of the buildings; it's all part of a brand identity.

(Of working in a panopticon, but that's popular, I guess.)
I presume that's just one direction?
WeWorks "scale" is 10-person company got their Series A and wants a (semi) custom build-out for 90 people + (private) conference rooms, or a well-funded startup wants to setup satellite offices.
Yes, that makes a big difference for me also. (I was tempted to post the same reply to two comments, but you can find the actual comment under the one that mentions "Covey".)
I’ve not read anything that suggested they knew about MCAS. They knew about automatic stabiliser trim, which is a different system also present on the older 737 NG. The way MCAS monitors angle of attack, and the way it is temporarily disabled by pilot trim inputs was not known to them.
And keep in mind, "99.9% reliable" might mean it only kills you once every three years...
Even in voice chat's case latency isn't a huge issue until you get really high numbers. But you're right, even higher latencies can fit the 80% or even the 90% use case.
Mormons believe that some religious ordinances (like baptism) are necessary for salvation and that if a person isn't baptized while alive then a baptism can be performed for them after death. Members of the church are encouraged to research their own family history and perform these ordinances for their deceased ancestors.
Is there a writeup anywhere what the bandwidth and latency is likely to look like? I assumed the latency would be worse that that of a land line.
That's arbitrary code execution, but it's not by any stretch a "built-in code editor".
It may not matter if it is tainted or not, if it gives them an advantage in pricing insurance policies on average.

Knowing that you do or do not not fiddle with your phone on the road too much as a passenger or driver might be enough of a signal.
I'm not surprised. It's definitely an issue. Hopefully someone will think of a way to mitigate besides just police intervention. It's an interesting issue
With a phased array could you link this through a LEO swarm to hit targets hidden beyond the horizon?

I'm super unfamiliar when it comes to this sort of hardware.
I tried to read the Wikipedia page to understand how the AI was confused, I didn't find anything that looks relevant.
My new rule is if you have an Instagram influencer post illustrating your article, I close the tab.
It doesn't allow arbitrary code execution. It allows interpreted code that fits the provided API which does not allow the spawning of new processes.

Very different thing.
While the DPRK would have no means of doing this, the PRC could quite plausibly launch its own jammer constellation if it became enough of an issue.

The most interesting aspect is that an import ban on LEO satellite modems becomes exponentially harder to enforce when you’re the only country that can manufacture them at scale in the first place.
This is a fair sentiment, but I'm much more concerned about the safety implications than the inconvenience caused by a five second delay. The same delay can come from lots of legitimate sources— weather conditions, road work, delaying passing a cyclist because there isn't room to give the full meter, stopping for a schoolbus, whatever. When we're in a mindset that the smallest delay is intolerable, it becomes harder to be patient in the cases where slowing your vehicle is actually the safer choice (which, of course, is most of them).
Is it 15ms to the satellite? If so, that's like 30ms to land, which would negatively impact gaming if it still needs to travel from where it lands to the end goal (via normal pathing?)

Here's an example. It's not mentioned in the OP, but in a link in the OP. Microsoft's LINQ was designed using principles from category theory. They didn't use category terminology in the final product, and rightfully so.
People should really stop growing megapolises and start developing smaller cities, interconnection infrastructure and regional decentralization (decentralization is already fine in the US with its states system but near-zero in e.g. Russia (Moscow everything) and I dunno about Indonesia).
Sure - but unfortunately Rogers/Bell/Telus will be sure to embargo any such customers as "likely spammers" to keep their ridiculously high prices up.
How would the Starlink solution compare to Iridium's NEXT? Is Starlink simply a larger-scale version of the same idea, or is there some special sauce in Starlink vs NEXT that would differentiate their potential use cases?

From what I can tell, they are both LEO solutions but Iridium is using far fewer satellites to achieve 100% global coverage. I assume there is some reliability metric or other more obscure aspect that would make someone want to choose one over the other for some particular application.

The only tangible differentiator I can come up with right now "in favor" of Iridium (aside from the fact that it's already up there and working) is the multi-mission aspect of the constellation - science experiments, DoD contracts, ADS-B for Aireon, etc. But, for someone who is seeking an affordable, satellite-bound 50+ mbps pipe to the internet, a 1000-10000 satellite constellation sounds like it's more appropriate.
Assuming the jar has no holes. The jar apparently has holes and the brain inside it can peek out.
Yeah, I abbreviated that point as I felt I was rambling and it's outside my expertise, but it's definitely more complicated than "we must make these profit numbers go up or go to jail."
Yes! Many comments on r/spacex suggest that being a good use case for them but they have one major downside. Weather can affect satellite network connectivity which brings their availability down a few nines and many people expect most everything to run 100% of the time. I know growing up, I convinced my parents to try out directtv and my dad always got so mad when the weather caused the satellite tv to go out so it isn't perfect. Therefore, I don't expect it to be used by most people unless their only other opens are hughesnet or dsl.

And then somebody needs a different, incompatible, version of plugin X and you set up another Jenkins master.

Or upgrade the the Jenkins master and watch other jobs fail.

And not to mention plugin Y and plugin Z crashing Jenkins when being run together because they share the same classpath.

While in the meantime one of the developer is trying to migrate his pipeline from one master to another and he finds out that of course they won't work because the plugins and configuration are not exactly the same.

This is exactly what OP was complaining about. You don't set up plugins and configuration just once. You want them to be replicable, but Jenkins does not provide a good way to do that.

Most other CI/CD system handle this issue very simply. They just don't have plugins, and have very little (if any) global configuration. This means you can start up an entirely new cluster and chances are your pipeline files will run without a hitch.

One big differentiator is the nature of the antenna needed. The phased array antenna for starlink is apparently the size of a pizza box. Iridium satphones are comfortably handheld.
I personally don't find it that bad to have to hit the voice command button on screen a couple of times per drive. for me it's once to start navigation and once to start my music, both of which I can do before leaving my parking space. it's a valid point though, touchscreen UIs are inherently less safe in a car, imo. bmw/mercedes/audi have much better controls where you can control all the systems through a wheel/paddle near the gearshifter but I'm not sure whether they are hooked up to android auto or carplay. in any case, all I'm really arguing is that it isn't that hard to devise a system that's as safe or safer than operating an old school radio. as I argue in a different post, having real-time traffic info is a huge win for safety. I would prefer to see that approach tried at scale before we jack up punishments or create a pervasive surveillance system.

Interesting. Overall, I love iOS constraint engine and really really really miss it when I port things to Android. It's not a universal solution, there's always a point where you flip and do your own layoutSubviews on complex stuff. How does this compare?
But you made the correct decision on whether to start the computation immediately or to start by building a "more impressive" system. Maybe it was luck that you beat them, or maybe it wasn't, but either way several years out you made the correct engineering decision on how to solve a problem with finite resources. That's impressive.
Ironic, too, since Rust is a Mozilla project, designed in large part to keep Firefox competitive with Chrome by allowing low-level optimizations, yet preventing most problems with memory leaks.

As far as I'm aware, there aren't any LEO satellite internet providers at the moment (a few in GSO, but the latency there is probably too long to make it relevant for trading), so I think that it just isn't an option. It'll be interesting to see what happens when the first LEO constellations come online.
You paid to join a frat.
That’s inspiring! Did you get to a point where the joy of creating something was superseded by the need to keep it alive and winning? How do you balance both? Often I worry that when a product that I feel so passionate about turns into a business, then the time I spend running the business (which I might not like) will be far more than what I’ll spend working on the product. Not sure if it will be as much fun.

Also is it still the same thing that you envisioned when you first stared?

My understanding is that satellite-to-satellite is not legal.
A misconception probably due to an overestimation of how far away space really is; the ISS only orbits at roughly 240 +/- 30 miles, and the (admittedly arbitrary) boundary of space is at 60 mi (100 km).

To get an account there, you must agree to a few things, one being an NDA, and to get a Switch dev kit you must agree to a few more things, as well as go through a case-by-case evaluation of your game idea, if you are not an established game developer.

We won't be seeing the agreement(s) that were likely broken, and if you can see them, you are under NDA.
Being able to detect which lane of the road you are on is still challenging enough for self-drive technology. A cheap phone sensor most likely doesn't have such spatial resolution.

I know it's not "unusual"... I've seen the same wrong-headed reasoning many times before. But syntax is rarely a significant obstacle to learning a language, it's the semantics that bite! And when the semantics are significantly different I think that a familiar syntax might make things harder rather than easier by confusing form and function.

Also, Reason catch on much?

Great! Keep it up!
> So there is a cross over point where the latency of a LEO satellite system is actually superior despite the uplink/downlink path.

There is, but given the rise of the use of edge caching and edge compute for latency-sensitive applications, with edge locations located to optimize access to masses of users, that crossover is unlikely to be actually reached in many of the cases where latency is actually a concern, and Starlink is going to be stuck behind unless it is able to both get edge caching and edge compute on its satellites and get content/service providers to use it, and comsats aren't exactly optimal locations for that.
