Pandora's Vox Redux
Presumably the "AI" part is that it knows not to set off an alarm if the person's cup of coffee has a fever, as has apparently happened at automated temperature screening points in China.
I would say there is almost certainly a little wheel somewhere on your dashboard to adjust them. My Land Rover has this.
This is the businesses that made it. The vast majority fail. The fact that one-third of a very small percentage are newly failing is significant.
You're not alone, it drives me insane. With driving directions, why does it need to tell me to make a right off my street onto the main road when I've done it a thousand times? No matter where you're going from my house, the first three directions are always the same unless you've got a helicopter.

That's not to mention the overly verbose, repetitive, and late instructions whenever you're taking some ramp from one highway to another. God forbid you try to have a conversation during that.
You're commenting on an article that is basically just a short description of matrix headlights asking what matrix headlights are.
Inside of a frog it’s too dark to read.
Are Americans Fleeing Cities During Covid?
The answer is yes, where they can afford to:

The rust std library doesn't hide allocations at all. It's very explicit.
This is my point but people keep downvoting it. "That's expensive, so that can't be true."
Except it doesn't, and the evidence of "coverup" they have is laughably bad. Of course you're too busy trying to think of the best way to sound snarky to actually think about the topic at hand.
Had a long conversation with my dog's vet about these thermometers. He used one I had not seen before, an intra-eye thermometer. It measured the temperature through the eye, the temperature based on light from the dog's optic nerve/retina. That is as close to the brain as one can get without cutting holes. Too bad it isn't allowed for humans yet.

It isn't hard to understand his difficulty with normal infrared thermometers: they don't work through fur. But in all animals (us included) temperature can vary many degrees depending on where it is measured. The face/forehead is not the best place if you are looking for 'core' temp. People with reduced blood flow (ie heart disease) will have much cooler foreheads. They may have a fever but their foreheads could appear rather normal.
High beam lights which turn off in sections to not blind other drivers.

They're pretty neat! You can drive on a highway, have high beams lighting up signs but not dazzling other drivers.
Not sure why you’re being downvoted, but if we go through another wave this winter only losing one-third does seem optimistic.

Every time I walk around my neighborhood (Williamsburg) I notice another newly shuttered storefront. Many places I loved are sadly gone and never coming back. The building my studio space I keep to work out of is in is filling up with vacancies and eviction notices — I go in occasionally to grab mail and water plants, but I don’t intend on renewing my lease on it this fall.

I’m generally ride or die NYC, but after 5 months of quarantine the idea of staying inside through the winter of 2020-2021 is sounding pretty bleak. It’s the first time in 13 years I’ve considered leaving temporarily. This really is just the beginning.
After the clipboard thing came to light people quickly found that a ton of major apps (including Reddit) were doing it as well.
Here's some ideas.

Ask the existing client for referrals if you can.

Set up a landing page at Carrd or Github Pages or wherever with your experience/skills if you don't already have a website. Make sure your LinkedIn is up to date.

Reach out to digital agencies and software shops for overflow work. They always need help. It's not great for building your name and isn't terribly lucrative but you can definitely drum up projects fairly quickly. And they will be repeat clients since they have a client roster to tap into.

Almost every tech these days has a Slack or Discord with an informal job board. Monitor and respond.

Reach out to established freelancers. The good ones are busy and get more leads than they can service.

Upwork isn't terrible if you target the high end and pick a specialty. Do not try to compete on price or list yourself as a jack of all trades.

Reach out to recruiters and let them know you're looking for additional contracts.

Post on the monthly HN Looking for work thread.

Good luck!
FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards) are prescriptive, not descriptive; they're also really really slow to update them.

The difference between between FMVSS and UN/EU regulations could also be considered a regulatory moat. In today's globalized world, I can't imagine that the moat is worth it anymore.

(Disclaimer, I work for General Motors, this is strictly my own opinion)
Sometimes known as pixel lighting, matrix systems are based around a high-beam unit consisting of a cluster of LEDs (the Audi matrix system consists of up to 25 LEDs per high-beam unit), rather than a single high-beam bulb that you might find in a conventional headlight.

This allows you to block out certain portions of the beam so you don't blind other drivers as they approach.
Of course you would do the safety inspection without the trailer?
This whole thread feels like I am taking crazy pills. It seems odd that so many people are on the contrarian juice in this thread against one of the best journalism outlets in the world.

I am right there with you. There are bound to be stinkers, but on the whole the reality that the Times operates in is miles ahead and closer to the truth than most reporting out there, if not all.

Hello,

Thanks for your comment. Can you give us more details about what you dislike on Frontendor? Or are there any suggestions that you think might help us?

Thank You.
Oh :(, can you give us some feedback to improve it.
Thank you!
There will be more caching in the future, but until then it sounds like you'd like PackageCompiler.jl (https://github.com/JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl) to build DiffEq and Plots into your sysimage.
> Wasn't it shown that TikTok (and LinkedIn to be fair) was accessing camera and/or clipboard when it didn't need to?

There's a gigantic list of apps that were revealed to be accessing things like the clipboard in iOS 14. I just installed the beta, and I found that my credit union's app reads the clipboard every time I open it. My third-party reddit app does the same thing.

TikTok doing it isn't really even news. There are dozens to hundreds of apps doing it, and it's likely a bug.
I wouldn't say that Rust is similar in this regard, nor do I think it is really a fair criticism of C++. It's more a fair criticism of certain C++ design idioms that are popular in certain circles. If you talk to people who do systems programming in C++ (particularly embedded systems), you'll find this isn't a common problem.
Yes. Both when I lived in NY, and when I first moved to UT (since then, it's become emissions-only).

edit: Err, so I guess no, actually? But I think I answered what you mean, not what you said :)
What I've seen contradicts the authors rosy glasses. 5 to 10 really good years often doesn't add much to 40 iffy years. And 5 bad years does a complete number on people.
SEO is just another sales/marketing channel. Engineers (of which I considered myself) generally dislike the idea of having to sell/market something, hoping it will just come if they do a good job. In my experience, it's both. You have to do a great job and also do a great job of telling others about your great work.

They only have to marry her for a day. Alimony typically lasts half the length of the marriage(except in CA and some other states where "long term" marriages can warrant indefinite alimony).
There was also a smallish thread a few weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23335794
what is with Americans and jumping up at just jailing people?

jesus christ you don't need to jail people because they used bright lights.
Also, the privacy nightmare that is TikTok would be very off-brand for Apple.
I wonder what EASA will do..
I was not aware there were headlights that had a light pattern like that. Looks pretty cool.

Years ago (`70s-90`s) when I built custom cars it was a pretty huge deal when the rectangular headlamps were approved. It created new ways to style the front end of a car, but we all were jealous of what they were doing in Europe with headlamp designs.

The new LED headlamps offer way more styling opportunities and better lighting, but it's not surprising to learn we're still behind Europeans in regards to this.
We are also looking for several geospatial/geoscience positions including a PostgreSQL developer to take advantage of pluggable storage for PostGIS usage with TileDB.
IMO it’s WORSE. The new craze are the LED light bars. I had one on my old truck for off-road use, but there are idiots that drive with them turned on driving down public roads. They’re so bright it can take 10+ seconds to see normally again.

Hey, thanks for the reply. My blog isn't ready for primetime yet, so I do have it redirecting to the main page for now.
From the article:

“Each of the 911's lighting units includes 84 individually controlled LEDs that allow the car to continuously morph the pattern of its beams. When a car approaches in the oncoming lane, the 911's headlights dim around it while leaving the rest of the pattern bright. The other driver doesn't get blinded, but you still have blazing lights on your side.”
What matters is two things: range & cost (kwh, maintenance & overhauls). For that battery is becoming unbeatable on short hops and longer hops pretty soon after.

Basically if it flies cheaper, battery is going to win in the air as well. R&D done by hundreds of battery tech companies will help improve the range of already flying (or soon to fly) electrical planes to the point where the range becomes useful to somebody; or at least useful enough that the cost argument becomes decisive.

There are a few planes in the process of certification that have useful but modest range that use battery tech from a few years ago. The price of certification is that you have to pick some tech and stick with it for a few years. Successors to these planes with more recent tech would probably get about 1.5-2x the range. That's roughly what Bye Aviation and Eviation are talking about for successors to their current first generation tech. To be clear that's just swapping out tech they picked a few years ago for the kind of stuff that Tesla is talking about next month.

The fallacy in this argument is believing we need to match A320s, Boeing 787s, etc. specs to be able to match their cost per passenger. This is simply not true. Big jets get benefits out of fuel efficiency because fuel is stupendously expensive. That's literally the only reason to spend hundreds of million on a super complicated piece of technology that burns tens of thousands of $ of fuel per trip.

This is not the case for electrical planes. Bigger ones are actually less efficient and the smaller ones are ultimately going to be cheap enough that you can simply get more of those to match the passenger volume. At the list price of the Eviation Alice (900kwh, 700 miles, 9 passengers + 2 pilots) of 3.5M$, you can easily buy the 20 or so you'd need to transport the number of passengers you'd typically cram in a A320 and still save a bit of cash. Eviation is not likely to ship the kind of volumes to allow airlines to make that kind of choice any time soon. But think autonomous planes flying much further and cheaper in a few decades and you get the picture. At some point, A320s stop making sense. It's mostly a matter of volume production and certification. Battery tech improvements during the time it will take to do that will help but are far less essential and partially already a done deal. More is better though; or rather less is more in terms of cost.
From WHO:

>The physics of exhaled air and flow physics have generated hypotheses about possible mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 transmission through aerosols.(13-16) These theories suggest that 1) a number of respiratory droplets generate microscopic aerosols (<5 µm) by evaporating, and 2) normal breathing and talking results in exhaled aerosols. Thus, a susceptible person could inhale aerosols, and could become infected if the aerosols contain the virus in sufficient quantity to cause infection within the recipient. However, the proportion of exhaled droplet nuclei or of respiratory droplets that evaporate to generate aerosols, and the infectious dose of viable SARS-CoV-2 required to cause infection in another person are not known, but it has been studied for other respiratory viruses.(17)

What the WHO and some doctors are doing is going: "despite the fact that it seems like it can spread via aerosols and that seems fairly likely, we want hard proof and are willing to risk our lives on that basis."

So, lol.

Trump just openly demanded that the US government get a cut of the sale if it goes to Microsoft.

If I were TikTok I'd be shopping the company to europeans just to avoid any further headaches. They'd still get access to the US market but wouldn't have to deal with the headache of a sale to a US company.
It is amazing how libertarian HN is all of a sudden....

Sadly it does not appear they believe the government is source of all this problem, instead they think "just need better regulation"

Some people will never learn
Good LED headlights aren’t blinding. It’s often aftermarket nonsense that causes problems. As someone else mentioned, the culprits aren’t often LEDs; there are some crazy bulbs out there, and the people using them just don’t care if they’re blinding other drivers. It’s ridiculous.

We also missed out on the yellow sodium headlight craze in Europe during the 80s or 90s. Headlights in the USA must be whitish in color. Anyone know why?
shows basic lack of concern for other people's lives on the road, same as drunk driving.

> because they used bright lights.

Why are people doing this in the first place. I don't understand.
Actually I missed that you were linking to a 1985 article by Weizenbaum. I agree, that's more interesting. Had I seen that I probably wouldn't have replied to you here.

On the other hand:

(1) "You can't change rape by being a good rapist" is just flamebait. Please don't.

(2) Your account has mostly been posting in ideological arguments and it all looks pretty generic to me. Please don't do that either.

If you want an explanation about why we don't want generic discussion on HN, and above all not generic ideological discussion, there are plenty at these links:

Seriously. Driving at night with a lot of oncoming traffic is starting to become a serious hazard. Maybe doubly so if you have a car that sits relatively low to the ground.
Thank you both! Yes, I'm the author. So you were correct, I had intended it to read eradicate but actually I really appreciate java-man's definition help, so I think I'll just leave it as it is now :).

Résumé/CV: https://github.com/sam-dixon/resume

Email: samdixon526@gmail.com

I'm wrapping up a PhD in astrophysics at Berkeley (graduating around December) looking to move into data science. My thesis work is focused on building and understanding generative models of exploding white dwarfs to make them better tools for measuring dark energy. Outside of research, I was a founding member of the Graduate Data Science Organization at Berkeley, where we lead data science tutorials and run a summer workshop for grad students and postdocs interested in leaving academia for DS careers. I also interned at Square, where I worked on product recommendations and ad targeting.

I'm looking for work with direct, broad impacts — I want to work on something that changes the daily lives of more than just ~20 academics. I'm also hoping to work somewhere where I can continue to learn and grow; my favorite part of being an academic is never being the smartest person in the room. If that's your company, shoot me an email.
This is not a standard feature of new cars, but it's pretty affordable addition for middle segment cars (In my MPV it was an extra 700$). Premium cars getting this more and more frequently, not LED, but lasers in case of Audi (and VAG).
having had several german cars in the past, it's not that hard to import euro-spec headlights and install them, but your jaw might drop when you see the price.
