What data did they release from any accident? If you're going to keep spamming the comments of this thread with claims that Tesla releases the data it collects, you need to support those claims.

Tesla has never released the data from an accident. They only release their assessment of the data to authorities and authorities have decided whether to communicate that to the public.
The problem with failures and optimistic UI isn't that failures happen often - it's that they're not uniformly distributed. I do not have a 1% or 0.0001% chance of experiencing failure any given message. I have 0.0001% chance of experiencing failure, unless I'm currently in a tunnel, or my ISP breaks something again, or [insert dozen other infrequent client-side failure modes], at which point my failure rate briefly hits 100%, and I'd very much appreciate if the UI didn't lie to me about it.

Actually the size of QR Code doesn't depend only on length of the string but also on charset used.

For instance, the URLs generated at bit.ly are case sensitive, to encode the qr code you have to use "binary" input mode.

For KUAG I'm using "Alphanumeric" input mode, it reduces the size of the QR code I'm generating however I restricted to a smaller subset of character.

I understand it looks like a paradox; but a bit.ly shortened url leads to a bigger QR code than KUAG (even if the string is longer)

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code#Storage for more details.

Note: the shortened url I display is 'lowered' for esthetical reason.

Edit: I forgot to mention the error-correction. But I don't think it's fair compare with other shorteners if they are not using the same error-correction level.

Hi. Are you generating revenue from this? If not, please consider having an enterprise offering.

There are companies that are interested in this. We built something for a major company to send unique links to a customer base of 20+ million. They were blasting SMS offers and we helped them infer customer traits for next best offer, generate links, and send SMS using a template.

You can make it really appealing if you write an API for it so they can hook it to their messaging systems and blast messages programmatically.

Also, they wanted to have analytics (who clicked, from where, etc.)

Hi Hacker News! We wrote a short blog post showing how forks and pull requests in DoltHub work in a data collaboration context. It's really neat being able to open a pull request against a SQL database.
Having done the same thing myself (bootstrapped a services company from $0 to over $8M/year in revenue in 5 years and grown a SaaS product from $0 to ~$800k ARR in 16 months completely bootstrapped), you can go into debt for a short time while bootstrapping, but generally not 3.5+ years unless you are independently wealthy or have a retirement nest egg you've been saving for a few decades you're prepared to liquidate.

At some point your access to capital dries up when banks see your level of risk increase. You might be able to survive moderate losses for a year or two and cover it with personal debt financing, depending on how much money and access to capital you have personally, but 3.5 to 4 years covering losses with personal debt is REALLY pushing it. You're most likely talking several hundred thousand dollars at that point even for a small startup.

And $1M ARR is only enough to support a team of 9 if the average salary being paid is around $50k-$55k/year (or if 2 or more people aren't even drawing a salary). Which makes sense because, in their blog, they describe hiring someone for marketing that was much less "senior" - i.e. cheaper - and not being happy with it. Taxes, fees, registrations, legal/accounting, benefits (if any), insurance, hosting, technical infrastructure, etc. can easily eat up over $300k/yr for a team of 9 - not including direct payroll.

I disagree wholeheartedly. This technology empowers people to make stupid decisions and rationalize them.

We never had people deliberately sleeping in cars (with pillows!) before autopilot was a thing. If the kinds of people prone to make these types of decisions come to trust technology to save them, we're going to wind up in a worse spot than before the technology existed.

People will rely on the tech to save them when it was never meant for that.

This isn't a wiki. The core defining characteristics of a wiki are:
Editing, Navigation, Linking, and Searching.

Wikis do not have any enforced navigation structure. Navigation is implicit (defined by Editing and Linking).

OneNote, "PerfectWiki", Teams built in "wiki", and many many others rely on a hierarchical page structure to function.

This would be fine were it an optional navigation mechanism, but it rarely is. Usually this is also how content is stored and managed. This ultimately makes the content itself VERY brittle to change, very difficult to refactor, and rarely navigable for long term use.

It's a much more approachable UI paradigm for beginners, but I have yet to see a large knowledgebase that didn't collapse under its own weight over time when using an enforced tree-structure to content.

It's incredibly rare that knowledge fits into a hierarchical taxonomy. Doing so at a UI level creates conflict and cognitive dissonance that accrues over time.
That is really cool. Would "Use types as data primitives" be a good way to describe Tyrade?
The fascinating question is where the line is between action and reaction and our qualitative experience of wanting and liking. Our wants and likes are (probably) physically implemented as a sequence of electrochemical reactions; almost certainly with nothing more than electromagnetism.

So which instantiations/states of the electromagnetic field experience feelings and desires? Are they held in the energy potential or in the energy transfer, or both? Is it enough to have a sufficiently complex feedback loop simulating/predicting itself?

The answer is likely to be both sort of simple but also profound. Eventually we'll have an a-ha moment studying electrocardiographs or FMRI or individual neural networks and be able to replicate experience in other electromagnetic substrates, and knowing precisely what we are, in a sense, will be pretty neat.

Then what will we really know about experience? Is it truly in the electromagnetic field or does it exist in the mathematical relationships that determine the evolution of the fields? That might be a question we never definitely answer from an outside perspective, but is endlessly fascinating to me.

Operating a motor vehicle on public roads is just about the most compelling reason one should have to sacrifice privacy like this.

They're closer together than that in Chicago's loop, although I think 7-Eleven wins the density contest.

(Interestingly, Google maps doesn't show all the locations when I pull up the relevant block.)
I agree, if the lender makes cheaper credit available, and if borrowers are automatically provided with drops in their loan rates. If borrowers have to shop around for a better deal and pay fees in the process, this would dull the effect of a lower base rate.

"Due to both privacy and efficiency concerns, almost all Ethernets today are fully switched"

I don't think those were the reasons. The main reason I remember was cost. Shared media pretty much meant coax, and twisted pair is much cheaper. When switches became cheap enough and capable enough, the savings of running TP everywhere became the dominant factor. This also eliminated long cable runs and the frequent disruption of losing an entire segment at once, so reliability was also a factor, but IIRC those improvements were secondary in most purchasers' minds.

I guess cost reduction is a form of efficiency, but I certainly never heard privacy as a reason before.
Pipedrive | senior engineers across the stack | Prague, Lisbon, Tallinn | ONSITE, VISA

Pipedrive is a SaaS visual sales tool for small to medium businesses. We’ve been backed with $90 million in funding since 2010 and are experiencing rapid growth. Our team is now located in five countries, building the sales tool used by over 90,000 companies.

I am very happy with the maturity of the process here and the autonomy our team is having. We are getting a lot of support from the company while still being able to innovate and fully own our part of the product.

Our stack is mainly TypeScript, Node.js, React, Docker, MySQL, Elastic, ... We expect some experience with that but the main thing is the cultural fit. We are looking for team players.

Please ping me an email at jakub.kadlubiec@pipedrive.com if you want me to refer you or if you want to learn more about the company. Please include the location where you'd like to work from (onsite only). I am an engineer not a recruiter.
> some sort of camera that is able to know what day of the year it is without knowing the year! Which due to things like leap years is impossible.

Just a small note, as we're talking about assumptions, but this is clearly untrue. Consider - for decades, humans wore watches that knew the day of the month, but not the month - you were just expected to turn the day forward on the 1st day of months following non-31 day months. Similarly, we can imagine disposable cameras that ask the user for the current day on first use and simply assume leap years don't exist, and require the user to correct the date for any leap years. You might call this a silly design, but systems often have to interact with external systems that have silly designs. I believe I actually owned a toy PDA (a device for a child, not an adult) that did not have a year back in the 2003 or so.

I hate solving problems and not knowing how I did it, so this particular experience has stuck in my craw.

Trying to develop a budget to pay off debts, my partner made this elaborate Excel spreadsheet and the output was that basically she had no spending money and I had very little, until one or both of us got a raise. It was far more austere than either of us were willing to go. So I started over using a different equation for 'fairness', and a different layout because something about her tables was just confusing and messy. When I was done, we had $300 a month of extra spending money between the two of us, despite using the same targets for pay-down, savings and bills.

I spent about 90 minutes poking at her spreadsheet and mine looking for the error and never did find it. I don't know what the right solution is to this sort of problem, at least for non-developers. But if I was skeptical of Excel going in, I was doubly so after that. Especially for something that is going to be used to make decisions that will affect every day of your life.

> I don't want to use a deprecated API call, timeSetEvent.

That's not what dataflow is saying to use. The phrase is "events or timers", not "timer events".

gambiting describes this scenario:

The hardware (network) does interrupt the CPU and supplies an incoming packet to the receiver thread, which does not use a timer.

Then the receiver thread wants to send it to a worker thread.

It sounds like gambiting's implementation has the worker threads polling a software queue using a sleep-based timer, to pick up work from the receiver thread.

Unless there's something not being said in that picture, the receiver should be sending an event to a worker thread to wake the worker instantaneously, rather than writing to memory and letting the workers get around to polling it in their own sweet, timer-dependent, unnecessarily slow time.

Given that it's described as audio data which must be processed with low latency, it seems strange to insert an avoidable extra 1ms delay into the processing time...

This is kind of the point of events (and in windows, messages; not timers or timer-events). So that one thread can wake another thread immediately.

The whole "if your hardware supports it" reply seems irrelevant to the scenario gambiting has described, as the only relevant hardware sounds like network hardware. Either that's interrupting on packet arrival or it isn't, but either way, a sleep(1) loop in the worker threads won't make packet handling faster, and is almost certainly making the responses slower than they need to be, no matter which version of Windows and which timer rate.(+)

There are no platonic ideals for humans or beings in general; we explore a giant solution space for reproducing thinking-machines. For every utility function there's a globally maximal physical being or society, but there are also a lot of utility functions.
I don't understand either.

These days we have many websites with giant empty spaces on the left and/or right, all in the name of making the text lines short enough (much shorter than I like them, but that's another rant). Making the browser window smaller often makes the text even smaller, instead of the useless empty spaces. Make some room for my other windows, please! We're not in the 90's anymore where monitors were only large enough for one window.

There's this trend of very wide and ultra wide monitors. I sincerely hope people don't use their browsers full-screen on 3440x1440 monitors.

Unless those empty spaces are supposed to be filled with ads that my ad blocker blocks for me. But that too is another rant.

> Isn't implementing call/cc trivial if you have CPS?

You’re right that call/cc itself can be trivial. The problem is that everything else becomes way more complicated because call/cc exists.

The critical thing to remember is that if you have call/cc, ANY user-supplied function can return multiple times. In general people expect library functions to “just deal with it” and in practice that means that (1) half your library functions might just be broken but you don’t know it because they fail some weird test case involving call/cc that you didn’t cover (1) you can’t do anything clever to speed up your library functions and (2) your compiler won’t be capable of doing the escape analysis to fix the performance issues in your library functions.

The thing is, you can conceptualize of call/cc as being just “free” if you think of the language as a way to program a continuation-passing machine, but when you do that, you’re basically one step away from some weird garbage-collected assembly language with unlimited goto.

In order to reason about programs more effectively we largely abandoned goto except for the few cases where it’s the right tool. Most of the time we like our control structures to match the stack—you go IN to a function exactly once, and then OUT of the function exactly once.
