> is the human+self-driving system really better?

Definitely. My last couple vehicles have had Lane Keep Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control. I believe those two equate to about "Level 2" of autonomous driving. Whatever the technical definition is doesn't matter though, the important point is that those two features alone make driving long distances so much less mentally taxing.

The Volvo system in particular is great... keeping your vehicle firmly in the middle of the lane like it's on rails. Frankly, it's better at that task than I am and only requires slight and occasional steering wheel input to stay engaged -- just enough to know you're paying attention.

Before these systems, I'd be mentally exhausted after driving 2.5 hours to my parents house, especially if there was stop n go traffic and it took even longer. Since these systems, I arrive feeling mentally refreshed instead of drained. There is no way I'd buy a general purpose vehicle without these systems ever again and I look forward to any other ways that automated systems can augment my ability to drive safer, more precisely and with less effort.
In my experience there are two different ways to go about creating an abstraction layer for others to use: a) you respect the language/standards/idioms and just add new building-blocks to the pile, or b) you use the language as a mere "target environment" and build your own, self-contained walled-garden on top of that environment. This is a conscious choice, and each of these approaches has tradeoffs and costs. I wrote a blog post about it, actually: https://www.brandonsmith.ninja/blog/libraries-not-frameworks

I personally tend to agree with you, but I think there are use-cases where the Angular philosophy can be the right decision. The key differentiators for me are a) does this walled garden provide real benefits over the more open model? b) does the organization backing this project have the resources to re-implement and maintain standard library functionality, build/editing tooling, debuggers, documentation, etc? There is a very high cost to going this route, because so many things move in-house. In Angular's case, backed by Google, the answer to question b is probably yes. The answer to question a is less clear. It sounds like there are performance advantages, and certainly there's a cohesive dev experience. For some companies, this tradeoff may be worth it. Personally I wouldn't want to use Angular, but I respect their decisions for what they are.

Aside: I wrote that blog post after being faced with a framework that's very similar to Angular, except it's backed by a very small team unaffiliated with a major tech company and is barely being maintained at this point. That's pretty much the worst-case scenario; with a more open "library" you'd have a much easier time coping with a loss of official support. But Angular is unlikely to ever find itself in that kind of situation.

Yes, these sorts of things are common in photography workflows. There are color profilers [ex: 0] that update your monitor's profile in real time to maintain a consistent profile given ambient light changes.

They're usually used as part of a larger calibration workflow, for example: calibrating your monitor and printer so that what you print with a specific ink/paper combination looks exactly like what you see on the screen. (Or, as much as is technically possible to do so.)

Looking at their highly optimized code on google.com, my guess is that they already use all the tricks that work on _every_ browser. And it might not make much sense for them to have two builds: one elegant, with multiple files per page for newer browsers, and ugly optimized blob for older ones.

Free transportation is actually something accessible already in a few places around the world. I could feasibly see this increasing over time as it gains popularity. Considering the savings on actually handling fares, efficiency gains in boarding, possible economic models around more commerce, then you add in more automation in the years ahead..etc

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/14/us/free-public-transit.ht...

It might not happen everywhere but I do suspect that a number of cities (like the ones already listed here
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/02/free-public-transportation-i...) will continue to push that direction.

Not sure about the other things in the OP, but it's worth considering one aspect of daily life that seems more and more likely as time goes on.

Hardware encoded H.264 and H.265 don't have any visual quality differences when encoded at the same bitrates in the same containers, as far as I'm aware. Could you list a source for this?

I've seen this article reach the front page many times and I laugh every single time. There's too many golden lines.

A person on a skateboard is still a person, would any AI trained to spot people not recognise that (at the same level as it spots people in general)?

Do you really need to train your AI to spot people on skateboards vs rollerskates vs rollerblades vs heelies vs sliding on ice vs traveling on a travelator vs standing on a moving vehicle vs ...?

OK, being able to recognise the differences and act accordingly might be useful but the principle of "person getting closer to vehicle" should hold sway for most situations?!?

Of course you still have the leadership class of people that could be corrupt, but that can be solved e.g. by sortition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition

+ you need anti-monopoly laws and some solutions preventing competition-to-the-bottom (e.g. if marginal cost of service becomes 0, it may no longer make sense to compete for it, so it needs to enter some sort of maintenance mode to keep quality in check)
Hi everyone!

I love Hacker News, the problem is that, like all social platforms, it easily becomes a slot machine. Every time you look there is a new post or comment!

HackerDaily is built to alleviate this problem as well as a few others:

- The posts are grouped per day, starting from yesterday. So you never miss that one great article, video, or paper!

- The articles are readable on the site itself. No more loading of multi-MB webpages just to read a simple article.

- It has an improved collapsing comment system

- It’s a PWA, so you can install it to your homescreen and use it as an app

- It has a dark mode

- It's open source[1]

I would love to hear what you think about it!

"Then indeed, inside you have mess with some data in HTML, some in JSON, etc. But well, at least you can parse it..."

how is some regular schmuck that wants to move his data out of google to another service supposed to determine what they actually have to parse? the user simply uploads pictures into the system but gets garbage out?

the scarry part here is that google makes it extermely easy to suck in the data but for an average user it's extremly difficult to get back out and takeout is absolutely not a good solution.

Does that mitigate this scenario? In many cases, clients may be talking directly to 1.1.1.1, not servers. At least that is a pattern I have seen people using. Only servers validate DNSSEC. So people using Unbound DNS at home or in their corporate network may be protected from this, but I am not aware of any local OS resolvers that validate DNSSEC. You are right though, people should certainly be using DNSSEC on all their zones.
Thank you!

And it's hard to say, but I would guess probably quality of the relationships haven't changed too much, although they are definitely of a different nature.

I'm always running into other contractors that are doing the same thing, and everybody knows that the relationship formed there will extend beyond just the one job. In a way, these relationships are stronger because they can persist for years after you've finished working together -- making friends is a good way to find new work.

I also have made up for it in my personal life. I find that I don't necessarily share the viewpoints of everybody that I'm working with, so it's nice to spend more time with people that I've opted to spend time with instead.

So I think even from a relationships perspective I think I've made better friends with people that I meet while contracting (and choose to maintain relationships with) than I have when meeting people after being assigned to a certain team.

I spent maybe 15 years using C# and DI (for most of that time), and understand it pretty well. I still dislike it.

> just they'll be hidden and tightly coupled

They're more hidden with DI than without, in my experience.

At any rate, having left the .NET stack around 5 years ago, I certainly don't miss DI. My current code has more and better tests than my C# code ever did, so DI didn't really help me there (nor did it hinder me-- it was neutral). But my current code is much more explicit, direct, and a fair bit more compact. I'm definitely happier with it.

Essentially, the bigger you get the harder it is to go after "small" opportunities. But some of the biggest disruptions come from those "small" problems.

> First of .NET has excellent documentation, right up there with the PHP

.NET had excellent documentation. I still pine for the truly-comprehensive MSDN of yore (where "yore" == 2007 or so). Back then, they had less ground to cover (only one .NET Framework and it ran on Windows only), and a bigger budget to do it.

These days, and especially after the big migration to a new CMS a few years back, it's really hit-or-miss for me, especially when it comes to UI framework docs.

Implementing new kinds of search results is as anti competitive as AWS implementing new kinds of dedicated services. There is no way third party solutions can compete with that, but it is unclear if it is a problem or not for AWS or Google to improve their offerings.
Yes, but code signing can be ad-hoc, can be done automatically at build time, and doesn't require notarization. So it's basically just a way to ensure the binary has not been tampered with. I don't really see the problem here, as the code signing itself does not prevent any kind of code from running on macOS Big Sur.
I didn't say faster. I said they were better at maturity. They have been typically slower to switch...to publically experiment, but when they do it seems to stick.

That's a valid point. But I guess the non-hobbyist can always contact the author and ask for permission. If taking the time to contact the author seems like too much, then we're probably back to the "hobbyist" category.
If you're stuck in the typical "Silicon Valley" information bubble, probably no one has much faith in EU companies.

> every single app out there implemented their own "screen resolution"

Every single app doesn't need to render heavy stuff to fullscreen. I have 2K monitor, but I can't run every game out there with 60-75 FPS at 2K, not without DLSS at least. But I agree with the point made in the sibling comment: they should separate output resolution and render resolution to different options.
It solves the same problems for me. Because Roam is almost like a markup language, you can make it do a lot of what Notion does. Especially if you use Notion purely as a personal wiki + task manager.

Notion is much better for businesses IMO. Like I said above, I use it for my startup. Specifically for task management, and even for our public docs site, ex: https://docs.haekka.com/

I think people are mis-conceiving L3 as "the car might yell 'grab the wheel at any moment.'" At least for L3 systems I've worked on, the model was - there will be exception cases we don't know how to navigate, but we have a plan to safely transfer control to the driver in them. Examples would include:
* a human construction worker or police officer is directing traffic, so safely slow to a halt or near halt and ask the driver to follow directions
* the route takes the driver from a supported road (large, well-mapped) to an unsupported road - tell the driver they have to take the exit, and if they don't then you'll miss the exit and stay on the larger, supported road
* broken traffic light - tell the user and prepare to treat as red light unless they override

These are not sudden dangerous handoffs, but they do mean that a driver can't be drunk or asleep when behind the wheel.

This uses a simple shallow network. They don't seem to disclose the network architecture but claim it has 100s of weights (parameters), a hidden layer of 25 neurons and 3 neuron ouput layer (x location, y location, leak rate) and lastly we are told it takes minutes to train on a 2018 MacBook (so probably trained with the CPU).

It is trained on simulated data so it essentially creates a small inverse model of the gas leak simulation, and it appears to work on the real world. This shallow model could easily be deployed on the edge.
It's not a typo - without DI (i.e. by using new operator freely whenever dev feels like) code still has dependencies, just this time hard-coded and invisible until you read the source.

Also, one can use DI without DI containers. Actually I prefer not using DI containers when possible.
> Privacy is dead

This is a choice. It doesn’t have to be this way. Laws regulating collection and use of data are possible and don’t have to be complicated. They do run up against the interests of those that use that data for their business, but again, that is explicitly a choice on our part as to whether we put their interests ahead of our own. You really can’t run get around these laws without being obvious and easily stopped.
Is this still true? It seems like other countries' manufacturers are sprinting ahead nowadays. The big Japanese manufacturers have been describe as stagnating when it comes to tech.
Not the OP, but I never used .NET core, but used DI pretty heavily for most of my 15 years writing C#. It was there before .NET Core. Maybe you mean it's improved with .NET Core?

x86 needs to use more complicated logic to deal with the instruction stream than ARM, freeing more of the silicon for things like better reordering and more execution units. OTOH, the SMT somewhat mitigates the delays caused in reordering by working on more than one instruction stream at once. I'd say the 16-thread chip will end up being overall faster than the 8-core one, if cache misses don't create a huge penalty for the slower memory bus of the x86. The i9-9980HK is also two generations behind, which doesn't help it much.

When I said there is no magic, I was warning that we shouldn't expect huge speedups or a crushing advantage, at least not for long. The edge M1 has is due to a simpler ISA (which is less demanding to run efficiently, freeing more resources for optimization and execution) and a faster memory interface (which makes an L3 miss less of a punishment). This fast memory interface also limits it to, for now, 16GB of memory. If the dataset has 17GB, it'll suffer. Another difference is that all of the i9 cores are designed to be fast, whereas only 4 cores of the M1 are. This added flexibility can be put to good use by moving CPU-bound processes to the big cores and IO-bound and low-priority ones to the little ones.

In the end, they are very different chips (in design and TDP). It'd be interesting to compare them with actual measurements, as well as newer Intel ones.
