I wouldn't consider it self driving. But the hw for LKA and adaptive cruise control can do a lot. That's all that Comma AI's Open Pilot needs, and a Toyota with TSS 2.0 is considered the best platform for Open Pilot.

Well its simple. There is overwhelming evidence they didnt play fair. They are not supposed to editorialize tweets (violation of sec 230 protection). They were free to let Nytimes publish supposed hacked tax returns yet blocked/ censored Nypost and other twitter users from sharing URLs in the same context. They got caught. Now its up to the congress on how they want to proceed to strip them of sec 230 protection and let the trial lawyers sue them into oblivion.
If one makes bay area salaries, I can't imagine the price of a 3090 would be a problem. One probably pays more in rent than that even with scalping prices.

Now on the other side of the world, where a 3090 is several times your rent, you really need to think thrice about buying one.

The X11 protocol is highly documented. There are many decent books about it. The Xlib and XCB are small wrappers around the protocol. Once you learn one, jumping to the protocol bits is easy.

Wayland is also a protocol and also documented, somewhere. I heard it has support for extensions and they are also in some repo. Search: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/

A big difference between the Wayland and X11 protocols is that X11 covers a lot more things, like drawing. Also, X11 has the concept of a client that is also a compositor and tons of interfaces for clients and compositors and the Xserver to interact. Wayland has none of those things, because the entity that implements the protocol is the compositor, unlike X.

Everything that's not covered by the Wayland protocol or extensions has to be defined/implemented by the Compositor, and that's where Fragmentation is killing us. Each compositor is allowed to implement whatever it wants to deal with those things. I am not aware of any standards here, although I would recommend trying to look if any XDG standards exist for those.
I wonder if logistics plays any role in this? Between miles traveled and not being able to use any mains power tools.

Current and last generation cordless power tools can be pretty sweet, and the ads always show professionals using them (don't you want to play dress-up like the real adults?), but I'm never clear how deep that market penetration is.

For the batteries, that's pretty terrestrial, so cords aren't that big of a problem, unless there's no power grid. I could see the solar guys being largely cordless though. I don't want to die because I tripped over your power/pneumatic lines.

(also how much of this would be solved if Tesla started using their own truck for construction?)

Besides that it really feels like across the board; politicians, pundits and the wider media have really let themselves get lost in this story. Twitter is one media company in existence at one point in American history. How it exercises editorial control feels like a bit of a minor point. Especially considering America's long history of media empires which have been far more subservient to the whims of moguls (i.e. Hearst, Murdoch, Clear Channel, etc.)

2) Japanese law enforcement doesn't f--- around when it comes to train etiquette, and even so the most dangerous people don't mess with riders.

I really want to love TTS, and I think that if I had experts to play with (to show me the ropes) then it would be a great game platform for boardgames.

I've found it very challenging to get started (to be fair, I was trying to start with HeroQuest - it's not complicated rules-wise, but there's a lot of pieces to move around). I think each game maker can make their own choices about how the UI should work so it's not clear what I should be looking for (in terms of UI widgets). Then they need to document how the game UI works which seems to be hit-or-miss depending on who wrote the mod.

For Heroquest, at least, it then seemed like I needed to spend a bunch of effort to get past the 3D aspects of the game in order to focus on the actual gameplay (which is fundamentally 2D).

At the end of the day it feels like trying to smash a 3D peg into a 2D round hole - I love the idea but in practice having a dedicated, 2D board game framework seems like it might be a better fit for board games.

What have you all found?

How did you get started?

How do you find good docs?

Is there a Boardgame Simulator out there that I'm missing? :)

"So weird how Cruz &c keep making this sound like there's some mandate that these platforms be nuetral"

My understanding is that if these companies wish to use Section 230 to keep themselves from being held liable for what their users post. By censoring users' posts that don't violate the law they are acting as a publisher and not a platform, ergo eliminating Section 230 protections.

To my understanding, Trump didn't authorize the publishing of his tax info, so surely that would count as "hacked" or "illegally obtained", right? From what I've read about Hunter Biden's laptop, the information was legally obtained because he left the computer at the repair shop long enough that it legally became the property of the shop owner. I could be wrong (and if I am, please let me know) but that, to me, seems like clear bias on the part of Twitter and Facebook.

If they had treated both articles in the same manner I would likely agree with you about a lack of bias, but it seems to me that this was done to prevent damage being done to one campaign.

Guys don't be stupid. Colloquially we all associate genocide with killings, the oxford definition captures this fact. We all know it, you can look up the formal term but when someone utters the word genocide the last thing they think about is sterilization. They think killings. We all know this by common sense. You guys are using technicalities to further an argument for no reason.

In addition to this the technical terms are all different so it's not like I've been proven wrong. My oxford definition actually incorporates the word "killing" so we can argue about technicalities till forever or we can not be stupid and admit that when people hear or use the word "genocide" they think about "killings" "murder" and mass "slaughter"

Under the other definitions basically an abortion clinic becomes a genocide clinic. We don't associate abortion clinics with genocide... nothing is out of line here At all.

You guys can cite the UN definition of genocide but nobody uses that definition in the english language, it's really too big a of an essay for someone to hold in their head. Realistically when you see the word in an article or uttered by a person it's using the oxford definition which is the exact context we're in right now.
There was a lot of work done to make X11 work better over low bandwidth/high latency links. [0] But in the end you could get most of the benefits just by forwarding your X session over SSH with compression enabled. Although X11 is old enough that compression would have used too much CPU back when it was developed.

The more interesting comparison between X forwarding and VNC is that X is really only displaying a remote application locally, not an entire screen or desktop. (Unless you use xnest to run X inside X which is pretty cool.) I used to have a FreeBSD workstation with a browser window running on a Linux server and a bunch of terminal windows spun up on different Sun servers, and you couldn't tell the difference between your local and remote windows. Remote windows are first class citizens in X11.

You're begging the question. My core point was that "correlation does not imply causation" doesn't "refute" anything but logical postulates---the problem with something that can be so dismissed isn't that it's logically flawed but that it isn't science. Which I think is closer to what Feynman was describing than what you're implying. When you say "science isn't supposed to be easy" (I think most people already know that, but thanks), you're supporting my position: saying "correlation is not causation" isn't helpful. In itself, it's either misleading or trivial. And it deserves a standard response: "Thanks, Professor. What's your experimental design to investigate that? Competing hypotheses? Evidence supporting your position?" Yes, science isn't supposed to be easy, and that applies to disputing theories and evidence, too. I have my own problems with the release in the OP, but are you seriously claiming that it's based on Cargo Cult Science? You know, or should know, that there's more than mere correlation in the evidence and theory around AD research community focus on plaques. You also know or should know that there is good research being done on competing theories---ones treating the plaques, perhaps not as epiphenomena, but as secondary to a more subtle primary mechanism. If you think that more research dollars should go to the second group (and I would likely agree), cool. But if you seriously think that the hypothesized connection between Aβ plaques and AD is based on an easily dismissed "logical error", you're not competent to participate in that discussion.
Ask HN: How to approach this problem functionally
Here is a logic that I have to implement in an in-house application that manages attendance, leaves, etc. The following is one of the workflows in leave application processing.

if (attendance has been marked for any session of the leave duration) {
perform exception processing // excluded for simplicity
return
}

if (applied leave duration overlaps (partly or fully) with any other currently-valid leave application) {
reject and return
}

switch (leave type) {
case annual:
if (not enough annual leave balance) {
reject and return
}
// more annual condition checks

case carry-forward:
if (not enough carry forward leave balance) {
reject and return
}
// more carry-forward condition checks

case paternity, maternity:
branch out to eligibility and extent of availability processing // excluded for simplicity

case compensatory-off:
if (date against which compensation is availed was working) {
reject and return
}
if (employee did not work on that day) {
reject and return
}
if (that date is already used for compensatory off) {
reject and return
}
// more compensatory checks

case loss-of-pay:
// several loss-of-pay checks

// several more varieties
}

load the holiday calendar based on employee's location
load the shift details for the employee
calculate effective duration of leave

insert / update all applicable records
write audit entries and logs

send response back

Significantly simplified logic above excludes things like leave duration crossing year boundary (some counters get reset; new leave quotas may become available).

I look forward to guidance on how to approach this from a functional programming perspective. Thanks.

There's no titan this time around and nvidia have been talking about simplifying their lineup and implying the 3090 is to fill the titan shaped hole in the lineup, but also leaving them room to release a RTX Titan Ti or whatever if they change their mind. Also I imagine to head off consumers who would otherwise be like "Maybe I'll wait for a 3080 Ti".

I also expect been a kind of struggle between their consumer side who need some other reason to sell their top end GPUs beyond just the whales when game developers aren't really that interested in pushing out features that will require it given the niche ownership, while the datacenter people want to protect their Quadro margins. This to me seems their most likely reason for the on-again/off-again relationship with pushing their high end cards for compute usage vs gaming usage.

I suspect the RTX 2080 Ti benchmarks were used considering the RTX 3070 just launched and only the Founders Edition is available for purchase. Based on what I've heard, the RTX 3070 is basically on-par with the RTX 2080 Ti in terms of real-world performance in games, so it's still probably a useful comparison.

I am not taking sides, right or left. I think it is fair to say it’s a mess.

I fail to see why the US constitution’s protection of the press would apply to organizations indistinguishable from political action groups engaging in the dissemination and promotion of lies with the intent to shape narratives and manipulate the audience.

What the media has devolved into should be outside of constitutional protection. This protection should be reserved for the truth. A high bar, yes, yet the only metric that can assure the delivery of information rather than political indoctrination through lies and careful manipulation.

Too difficult? Well, if what is being said can’t be determined to be truthful, don’t say it or print it. It’s that simple. Go look for a story backed by facts.

That’s the other point: The constitution should be about protecting quality, not quantity.

These enterprises are doing unmeasurable damage to society.

Again, all sides are guilty.
> The US government did not create the land it claims as its territory, it took control of it by force killing thousands of people.

Yeah, that's true of every nation in existence and every nation in the past. We just happen to live in a relatively peaceful time. Not too long ago, constant war and fighting for territory was all there was, and there wasn't a square mile on planet earth that blood hasn't been spilt for.

Twitter is a monopoly and has an outsized influence on politics and news today, beyond any media force in history, perhaps. They're protected by arbitrary legislation from the 90s that prevents them from being held accountable for false or defamatory statements from getting published and shared on their platform.

The whole impetus from that protection was to promote free speech. Instead, Twitter has chosen to arbitrarily and selectively mute, shadow ban, lock out, and silence those who they disagree with. I think if they are benefitting from 230 protection, they should not be allowed to engage in this kind of manipulation. Or they should be forced to federate their service with other platforms.

With Twitter, individual contributors can spend a decade building up a following of tens of thousands to millions of users, and then with a click, Twitter can take that away. I mean, I'm old enough to remember when we got the right to keep your phone number passed so that you can keep your number when you switch cell phone carriers. That sort of thing does not exist in social media. If I switch platforms, I lose my ability to communicate with my connections. That's a problem. That should be legislated away.
The forensic details are lacking. Sure, it would be natural to suspect the person benefiting the most from the charges being dropped. However, do they have her personal home IP address shown accessing the system? Also, if the court system can be so easily manipulated, it might be time to take a look at that.
230 is a law, not part of the constitution. It could be rewritten, for example, to say that if you want to claim protections under 230, you need to be clear about what your rules are and those rules must be evenly enforced.

As it stands, big tech is hiding behind enforcement of their rules, but we don't know what the rules are and seemingly everyone has broken them. But they get to decide when those rules are enforced.

imo "future proofing" doesn't really make from a price/perf perspective, especially for something so easily replaced as a desktop GPU. by the time the cool new feature goes mainstream, that high end GPU you bought probably needs to run everything on medium anyway. I expect the RTX 2000 series will age very poorly. a better approach is to aim for the price/perf sweetspot for a target resolution and upgrade often. I bought a 1080 TI more because I could than because it made sense.
As a reference datapoint, my Model 3 Dual Motor will go about 16 miles on 4kWh of electricity under real-world conditions. Certainly some serious energy to push a 4,000 lb. + passengers vehicle that far, but compared to a year of use of a smartphone, it's a drop in the bucket. At my 7¢/kWh, that costs a whopping $0.28/year.
The 3090 supports but doesn't let you enable the titan driver paths, SR-IOV, NGX, and critically, is capped to half-rate tensor operations with FP32 accumulate.

An official firmware release could change this but they're likely saving it for the Titan cards down the road.
