Open source projects typically cannot afford to pay for slack, which makes all but the most recent logs unsearchable. I've found this in quite a few open source groups and it means the same questions get asked over and over again and its incredibly wasteful and irritating IMHO.

Well if the outer layer does not deform that's not generally bad, no? It could still crumple behind that and the structure could move like scales when hit on the edges. I'd guess it depends a lot on whats underneath, after all it's not an exo-sceleton (or is it?).

edit: thanks for the replies. I somehow thought if you get hit as a pedestrian it's super bad anyways... didn't know the crumple zone does much for you there.
I am wondering how you get out of it in case of an accident. I’d expect Tesla to take precautions, but at this point in time it seems like people could get seriously trapped in there.
You take position of authority, criticize, but you are not educating.

> The fields of art and aesthetics have a long, complex history and have been studied and written upon by thousands of intelligent scholars, designers, artists, philosophers, and religious figures.

So, let me ask you, why should I care?

I care about design e.g. "The Design of Everyday Things": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY96hTb8WgI

But what is it about aesthetics that is not subjective?

That's a case that might be argued, though pinning down both what technology is and quantifying "innovations" (or inovation) is ... notoriously prickly.

My working definition borrows from John Stuart Mill, who identifies technology as the study of means (to an end or goal), while science is the study of causes (how or why things happen, to which I'd add a general notion of "structured knowledge").

There are other forms of knowledge, an interesting topic itself, but I'll skip that.

There's a tremendous set of ancient technologies, which can get expansive depending on your views. Everything from speech to simple machines, textiles, agriculture, medicine, metalurgy and mining, and ancient chemistry and alchemy.

What changed starting, arguably, at some point between roughly 1620 (publication year of Francis Bacon's Novum Organum) and about 1800 (patent expiry on James Watt's enhancements to the Newcomen steam engine) was a change in attitudes to both science and technology (or the practical arts, as they were then called), due to numerous factors. Much of that owed to the availability of better and more abundant (at least in the short term) fuels: coal, oil, and natural gas, and the capabilities afforded by those, especially in metallurgy (greater strength, purity, specifically-tuned characteristics, and of course, abundance), as well as in the understanding of natural phenomena: optics, thermodynamics, elements, electricity, and later radioactivity, affording more capabilities.

There was still a huge amount of pre-industrial, non-industrial technology, much of it originating in China and documented spectacularly in Joseph Needham's Science and Civilisation in China, a 30+ volume opus begun in the 1950s and still in development.

Many studies of technology look at patent filings, which is at best a rather poor metric -- one that's in many ways a bureaucratic, commercial, and ontological artefact. Looking at the costs and derived value might be of more use. I've been looking into an ontology of technological mechanisms, for which I've generally settled on about nine factors (discussed in other comments on HN, as well as elsewhere) which I've found useful.

Much of what is commonly called "technology" today falls into only a very narrow region of that. And much of what is considered economic growth can be traced very specifically to the increased energy available per capita in productive use.

There's also a pronounced set of diminishing returns to increased innovation and R&D, generally. Suggesting an other-than-bottomless reservoir of potential from which to draw.
The unthinkable has been thunk. Who'd a thunk it?
This car is of course not build for europe or asia. Here are also almost no large pickups like Dodge Ram or the F150. A friend had for a short time such a car in switzerland. It was fun, but just to large for any public parking and such. But yeah the european companys don't even have small electric cars, so they just complain about everything.
For those inside as well. The reason most car companies don't use cold rolled steel is not because they are cash grabs but because if there was no deformation in the car all energy will be directly transferred to the occupants.

I am sure that tesla has something in their back pocket for this obvious flaw. Also I doubt the cybertruck will come to Europe. Certainly not in its current form.
An approach I have used in the past is including the optional `kid` header. The key id can be matched to the appropriate key needed to verify the signature. If you associate every user with a key, that means you can also delete any key and thus revoke the jwt of a particular user.

In this case obviously you have a persistence layer for the keys and can't claim to be absolutely stateless.

Not sure how I feel about this level of tracking TBH. I can see how the data might benefit some sales teams, but mostly I think it'll be hoovered up, stored and nothing done with it.

Have you put consent mechanisms in place to allow readers to opt out of tracking, while still letting them read the document/slides?
That is also bad for people inside
> This is quite curious. Apple inconvenienced so many users by "removing" 32-bit support on Catalina, and then they added support for local descriptor tables? I'm not aware of any use of LDTs on modern systems (except perhaps Chrome for additional sandboxing).

For the specific purpose of enabling CrossOver's 32-on-64 support and things like it.

It's not too hard for the kernel to support user code merely entering the processor's 32-bit mode. CrossOver's processes don't even use 32-bit system calls or 32-bit Mach-O binaries, so support for those could hypothetically be removed, except that most of it is needed for watchOS anyway. But the most significant cost of i386 support was in userland, not the kernel: building separate x86_64 and i386 copies of every system library, and supporting the legacy i386 ABI, including an older version of the Objective-C runtime ABI. That's all gone now.
That's a good thing. The risk of assassination is a core component of the balance of power between the state and the people.
I wish Springer titles were available on SBO -- that would make the service worthwhile for me. As it stands, I consider it a good value, but only barely, and for many of the points you have raised.

That said, I can't fault them for having every publisher's catalog, since their focus seems to be on software and software-adjacent subjects. The publishers you mentioned have vast catalogs largely in areas outside of their sweet spot.

With regard to your account being corrupted, yikes -- I'm sorry that happened, and I can't say I'm super surprised. I've always found their playlists and "recently read" UI to be buggy to the point that I don't really bother much with it. For example, items "recently read" on their mobile app don't seem to sync with desktop/browser and vice versa.

I will also say that their recent embrace of dark patterns has been bumming me out -- aggressive marketing modals on login goading me into attending one of their live seminars, and breaking basic browser functionality (eg copy -- you can surprisingly copy text from inside books in SBO, but it will almost certainly be a bad time for you when you eventually try to paste it somewhere), among others.
I wouldn't describe either FDR or Eisenhower as grifters. Carter was very big on integrity. Difficult to see Obama as a grifter either, although his honesty has been somewhat compromised by the forever war.
Nobody has crash-tested a Cybertruck yet...
There is no way this vehicle will get approved in Europe. I don't think the design is even salvageable. The folded stainless steel unibody goes fundamentally against our expectation of both passenger and pedestrian safety.

Since virtually no one drives gigantic american-style pickups in EU, it makes no sense for Tesla to develop a separate alternative EU-regulation-compatible version based on totally different manufacturing design.

I think it's pretty dishonest that Tesla asks for deposits for Cybertruck over here, since I believe they don't plan to ever sell them to us.

And I'm saying that as a person who likes Tesla, Inc. very much.
It’s relatively easy to make a car exterior that won’t crumple in an accident, the reason cars don’t have that is that the inelastic deformation of the car structure absorbs quite a lot of energy during an impact, which would otherwise be transferred to the vehicle in form of kinetic energy. You might say a little energy difference is not important but for a passenger or a pedestrian / cyclist hit by the car it can be the difference between suffering light bruises and dying from the impact. When I saw Tesla’s design with the ultra hard steel and sharp edges I immediately thought this thing is a large danger to other people on the street, especially cyclists and pedestrians.
There was recently an accident in Berlin involving several pedestrians which brought some of those issues into light
>> We have no idea how it will do in crash testing

Yes, we do. The recommendation for car to have easily-deformable zone in the front was based on thousands of crash-tests. Musk might be your superhero, but he still cannot bypass basic laws of physics.

It’s a trade off dude. You trade off the ability to revoke a token instantly for fewer backend calls. For most parts of your site (99.9%) that trade off is fine. For the parts where it isn’t fine you... call the auth server every request.

A vanishingly small minority of projects need the ability to instantly revoke a token on every HTTP request. And even then there is nothing stopping you from doing so with JWT.

Yeah, there's a reason games often preallocate large chunks of memory and then not allocate/deallocate during a level, use object pooling and stack allocators.

It seems like a strange example to give, when many modern games obsess over minimising delays in all sorts of ways (eg anything Mike Acton talks about: not just cache-friendly data-oriented structure-of-arrays or removing branches, but also eliminating function calls ("where there's one, there's many") and pointer indirection).

i386 -> x86_64 is now being dropped after 12 years.
New Orleans mayor declares state of emergency in wake of city cyberattack
True. This is why any serious game running on a VM with GC would avoid any kind of per-frame memory allocation and use arena allocators instead.

The whole premise of a GC to save you from thinking about memory allocation is moot if it comes to real-time sensitive tasks, there it makes things harder instead of easier. A reference counting system is much better IMO, even though you may be able to get higher absolute throughput with GC, at least the small overhead you incur is stable and predictable.

Imagine how better the world would be if all the effort, time & money spent on litigating bullshit like DMCA, piracy & patents was instead invested into solving real crimes like this.
Given that Tesla have designed and currently sell the three safest vehicles ever produced in the history of the world, I think it's safe to say they thought a little bit about crash safety on the Cybertruck.

In fact, I'm willing to bet they thought about it a hell of a lot more than people speculating who were not involved in the design process.

let's wait and see what happens, rather than through out wild speculation. (but then, the internet would be pointless I guess)

EDIT: See my reply further down with links to all the safety records Tesla have set.

Also, my point still stands. It's almost a certainty Tesla have spent many millions of dollars and thousands and thousands of design hours on the safety of the Cybertruck, while literally everyone commenting on it (including this expert from Europe) has spent zero.
It's also bad for people in the car.
That sounds really cool, and I hope it will find success. The field of parsing truly needs some refreshment, especially in usability.

I do have a few questions:

1. You claim the algorithm used guarantees O(n^3) for all CFGs, but is different from Earley and CYK. Are there more details for this algorithm, perhaps with a rigorous mathematical proof for this claim?

2. How is Glush's performance in relation to Earley, in terms of constant time and memory requirements? (even for low complexity, a high constant can be problematic)

3. How do you deal with ambiguity? The blog mentions priority, but is there a way to get something similar to a SPPF?
Probably like musicians and a lot of them use platforms to publish their songs to listen to for free to gain momentum and attract enough people who will be delighted to get a Vinyl (in case of books it would be a hard cover).

When I personally used pirated stuff it was because I couldn't afford to buy it or there was no other possibility to get a digital copy that is easier to search and transport.

It is only greed that is stopping our world from becoming something with all the good features of series like "Star Trek" including access to all those books for free.

The greedy people think they can gain even more money by forcing poor people to buy their stuff by punishing them. The greedy who have money influence governments to make laws against this piracy and investigate against them with public money.

In the end the poor can still not afford to buy the books, music etc. and will just be punished which costs more public money than giving them free access in the first place.

This is just another thing that is very wrong in our world.
Slack and Discord may have logs but you have to download a massive blob of proprietary software, register and agree to some ToS to access them. Those logs are everything but public.
The argument is not that we should trust Tesla to self-certify.

The argument is that they have shipped 3 cars in Europe. All their cars got among the best, if not the best, crash test ratings by every government and non-profit agency that tested their cars.

They deserve benefit of the doubt because they've demonstrated several times that they know what they're doing.

A can't say the same about randos speculating how Tesla will fail to certify their 5th or 6th car in Europe (after Model Y and possibly Roadster and Semi).

Being a TUV expert doesn't really make up for the fact that the guy is commenting based on a video of an early prototype.

Not to mention that people seem to arguing that Cybertruck is not safe... for other cars.

Hummer was sold in Europe. Tell me again how stupidly large and heavy cars can't possibly be certified for European sales.
You should care because (presumably) you don't want to be an ignorant person (as in, lacking knowledge). If you don't see why being ignorant is undesirable, then I can't really help you.

If you're genuinely interested in learning about aesthetics, then you'll have to do a lot of reading. As with pretty much any complex topic, there are no easy one-line answers. I recommend starting with the Wikipedia page, browsing some articles in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, and then finding some books in areas that you find interesting. If you're a software engineer, for example, then I'd recommend Aesthetic Computing.

> Compiles to NFAs.

No. It cannot, since NFAs cannot parse languages that are not regular. Rather, the algorithm executes like a pushdown automaton. I don't think it's correct to call this compilation.

> I cannot decipher from the article the exact expressive power.

To me it seems to suggest being able to parse (exactly) all context-free languages.
Oh please... you are seriously going to argue it is less complex call a database or redis than it is to locally validate a token using proven crypto methods that have existed for decades?

If you are gonna play the “look under the layers of abstraction to count true complexity” game.... your assertion falls apart in a hurry. Calling a database or redis every http request is a hell of a lot more complex in terms of call stack, configuration, network dependencies and library support than JWT.

But it is a stupid way to frame your argument to begin with. Both ways abstract all their doings behind a library. Both probably have almost the same general configuration foot print. And JWT has the benefit that you can still treat it like a session token and validate on every call for parts of your site that need it. Most sites do not need to instantly revoke a token everywhere!

The number of detractors around here who don’t understand that last point is pretty sad...
no more butterfly merch for me....

> Well if the outer layer does not deform that's not generally bad, no?

Yes it is.

Crumple zones are designed to both avoid going straight through through whatever they hit (which is usually an other car, though avoiding pasting pedestrian is also a good idea if you can), and disperse the energy of the collision to provide progressive deceleration.

Rigid frames are the original state of cars design, and it was bad, because when the car does not absorb the impact and progressively decelerate (again thanks to crumple zones) all the force of the crash ends up with the vehicle's occupants. Which is the exact opposite of what you're looking for: you want to sacrifice what's outside the safety cell in order to limit or nullify damage inside the safety cell (companies are even working on "sledding" the survival cell and adding dedicated shock absorbers, especially in smaller city cars where there isn't much space for crumple zones to do their work)./
The Hummer is classified as a small truck in Europe (>3.5t and <=7.5t). You need a special C1 driver's license for that which costs a few hundred euros and you need to be recertified every few years. It's highly unlikely that Tesla will sell it in Europe under those circumstances.

Also, in the EU, no car manufacturer self-certifies. In Germany for example it's the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (similar to the American DOT) that certifies vehicles to be street-legal.
I wonder when we will see laws for pedestrian safety in the US. What are the arguments against such a law?
Untrue re. European electric cars.

The Renault Zoe is increasingly common here in the UK, the electric Fiat 500 has been around for a while now, VW have an extensive range, BMW have at least a couple I'm aware of. A significant number of the suggested cars in this list are made by European manufacturers

I'm sure there is an exception to every rule.

As for doctors not having real expertise outside their (very narrow) problem domain: that's precisely why you want to see them if your problem is in that narrow domain.
Sounds like my father talking about his Land Rover series IIA: "The crumple zones are cunningly built into the other car.".
