It's not a surprise, TBH. As someone who likes their technology simple, I find that feature bundling like this is the norm in just about every product space nowadays.

My guess is that market research has found that "people who both want to pay for nicer image quality and don't want smart features" is not a large enough slice of the market to be worth going after. That, or they've found that people who do fall into that market will generally, when forced to choose, accept the smart features (upsell! ka-ching!) rather than choose a less expensive model in order to avoid the smart features.
AMD proved they have a solid design and that they were able to execute on it.

Its an ironic comment bulverizing the idea of bulverism. Who 'you' is doesn't matter so much. Might be the inventor of bulverism or the link poster.
2.1 is a mess. VRR works great on the LG CX with Xbox, but other hardware might not fare so well. Same issue as USB iirc, you don’t need to support all the features to advertise its X.x compliant. How these special interest groups allow this I have no idea, it only hurts them.

A car is not your mother. It has no obligation to prevent you from speeding or driving the wrong way down a one way street or otherwise being an idiot. And it shouldn't try, because sometimes the car has an inaccurate map or doesn't know that something unusual is happening or the sensor is broken etc.

Fast charging is also arguably the least environmentally concious way to charge any electric vehicle.

A) fast charging causes battery degradation at least 3-5x as fast as charging at or below the nominal "C" rating of a given cell or amortized individual cell rating. This means, in the next 10 years, more batteries have to be produced, more lithium has to be mined and more Tesla parts have to be shipped on diesel powered vehicles. [0][1]

B) it uses more power and places more demand on the grid, hence you're burning more coal in order to meet the demand curve and incur a larger transitional period in production which means more fossil fuels burned, more energy lost to conversion and at the end of the day more Co2 in the air. [2]

You don't need GDPR for this to have legal issues.

As an amateur photographer, I'm pretty sure that you'd formally need a model release form for a commercial use of it to be legitimate[1].

Of course, as with any legal issue, the company would weigh the probability of it being enforced vs. the hassle of doing it right... and it's pretty clear where the balance is in most cases.

OK that is a good point. So you are saying, maybe the marketing wasn't what misled the driver, but the abilities of the system. A system that fails 1% of the time will give a the user overconfidence up until the first time it fails.
Aren't flying cars and self-driving ground cars different problems, and thus likely to be solved at different times?

Self-driving is a sensing and intelligence problem, while flying seems like a mechanical, aero, and policy one.

Most of the US drives faster than the speed limit. It is unsafe to drive the speed limit if everyone is going 10-15mph over the posted limit. Assuming you know the context you clearly don’t makes you look like a jerk. Just because some places (like Australia) strictly enforce speed limits doesn’t mean everyone everywhere does.
I think EVs make a great second car. I drive a Tesla, my wife drives a Bolt, and we have an F250 for towing the travel trailer, hauling household stuff around, or going somewhere that charging infrastructure is going to be inadequate (haven't really run into that yet, but the pickup is our catch-all). I can't see going back to ICE cars as daily drivers, but it'll be quite a while before we don't have at least one in our household. Especially as long as we continue to own the RV.

> I wonder why.

because of the resilience to the pandemic, as the article suggests, but it's just a question of when and not if, it's not really a 'narrative'. In PPP terms it's already the case and for China to have an economy twice as large as the US it needs to be about half as rich per citizen, and there's nothing much in the way of that. China's more prosperous urban regions are already way past that point, so it's just a question of absorbing more people and dispersion.
They’ve oversold the tech and the capabilities in multiple public statements. Musk said they would have a fully autonomous cross country trip by 2017, and said there would be 500,000 robo-taxis on the road by the end of this year. These claims make the general public assume the tech is almost ready and that disclaimers are just a legal CYA. Why else would people be trusting their life to something that could fail at any moment.

The only thing that makes me question is that only around 5 people have been killed by a Tesla on autopilot or FSD, which frankly is shocking to me given the multiple videos of abuse of these systems floating around the internet.

To be clear, some of the commercial units people recommend are missing features like HDMI 2.1, 4K, HDR or DolbyVison, etc compared to their “retail” counterparts.

You really need to know what you are looking at when you consider commercial units.
On the other hand, if you are not spiritual and somehow feel life is about more... maybe try one of the holy scriptures.

I myself have been profoundly affected by The Bible. It has inspired many people over the centuries and remains the best selling book of all time. It provides innumerable famoous quotes. It's been credited with amazing things.

If that's not your cup of tea, try scripture of a different sort. Religion in general is said to be associated with increased generosity, well being and peace of mind. (Backed by many studies, of course.)

It's by nature a topic fraught with controversy. No matter which scripture you choose, it will be highly offensive to somebody. (But maybe if somebody else knows about it, you may not be doing it right.) You'll never know unless you try. In this day and age, religion is a source of comfort to many.
Probably easy enough to sever the wifi antenna in that case
The question was specifically about this situation as described in the article - the car moving at 150km/h. No, your Tesla wouldn't stop in time for a fully stopped car in that situation.

It does slow down for traffic, but I think many people don't realize something - it works with moving traffic, because then it can definitely recognize that you are approaching a car(or at least something that moves in the same direction you do), so it knows it has to slow down for it.

>>It also beeps when it thinks I’m going to hit a stopped car and other things that demonstrate that this claim is false.

Read up on it, I'm sure the upper limit for this function is when the delta speed is <50km/h. It won't work with a delta of 150km/h because it's physically not possible.

>> but it’s not true that “the system is trained to ignore stationary objects”

These are not my words, that's exactly what Tesla said after the "trailer across a highway" accident, saying that of course they have to ignore stopped objects otherwise the car would emergency brake for overhead signs since they reflect radar the same way a stationary car does - at large enough distance there is no difference.

And the systems fail in ways that a human wouldn’t which makes it more dangerous. Teslas often “shadow brake” when driving under overpasses or overhead signs because the radar system gets confused.
> The issue here is not due to Let's Encrypt, it's due to these devices, like so many others, not being designed to be maintained for the long term.

How so? Is www.google.com or www.bing.com doesn't work on those devices?

Why are you putting the blame solely on the devices, completely ignoring the fact that Let's Encrypt is an advocacy group whose sole intention is to make non-SSL-based HTTP obsolete? Keep in mind that HTTP has no reason to ever stop working on such old devices!

Noone's asking for indefinite support of old software. What we're dealing here is intentional device obsolescence, where the SSL protocol -- entirely optional if all you care about is reading text and watching pictures of cats from random anonymous sources -- is intentionally being used in such a way as to not be backwards compatible, by preemptively removing support for the earlier devices?
You're ignoring the range of risk between safe and suicidal. Someone who drives down the highway at 100 MPH may be reckless but not suicidal. It's the same sort of thing. A stupid risk but far from a certainty of death.
I wonder if ‘journey data’ like this one is a better type of data to feed ML? Showing the corrections, improvements, etc. Any idea if someone tried this?
Well - BX is the entry level model, but they don't make it in the 48" size(only 55 and 65"). Only one model up(CX) is made in the 48" size.

Yes. I agree that you certainly need to write tests for algorithmic code unless you are formally proving it. I definitely would not feel safe about a data structure I wrote in Haskell without writing a large suite of tests. If your tests cover a good portion of the code, then errors arising from incorrect arguments will be quickly found. It's nice to have that eliminated by the compiler when possible though.
Yes, they're called sparse files. Most but not all file systems support them.

Even the Japanese authors are targeted and it looks like it's not a cheap job. They researched the author, publishers, the agent, and translator of the book to English and wrote an phishing mails that looks like authentic.

The effort and resources they put on this scam doesn't justify for the cost of pirate. Besides, why do they want draft that isn't finished yet?

There's only handful of authors whose upcoming book is so valuable and worth leaking.

Disengage all driver assist tech when the seats are reclined beyond a certain point.
> Part of the problem is that no one can (or wants to) force the issue. Apple got up on stage and said, "three years from now, we won't be selling Intel-based laptops. If you don't get on the train, you'll be left behind." Microsoft won't do that. Without that commitment, why should a software firm port its applications to ARM? Every software firm should be thinking, "if we don't do any work, Windows on ARM will be miserable and never get traction." Likewise, any chip maker is going to say, "I don't want to invest in ARM laptop/desktop chips until it's clear that ARM is going to be a major part of the Windows ecosystem." Finally customers are going to think, "I'm not going to buy an ARM laptop until it's clear that Microsoft, the chipmakers, and software firms are all behind this." No one is willing to commit to the future because that future won't exist unless they all move in unison.

Honestly how hard is it to port software to ARM?

Electron apps just work, .NET just works and Java does too. So does every language that isn't C/C++. And even on the C/C++ side, unless you are doing some funky things I doubt it's more effort than adding a release configuration that targets ARM in the build pipeline.
I haven't observed this yet. At least in the comment sections I've participated in so far, there has been a healthy amount of disagreement. And it nearly always stays civil.
SVN called it blame, before git. There might be other predecessors.
I don’t think the parent was intending to privilege one over the others, just pointing out that these things already exist.
Isn't this more of a proof of concept. I'm pretty sure if it were adopted it would be scrapped and started from scratch anyway.
I think gamma shifting caused by VRR[^1] is still an issue. A lot of people don't notice it, though. LG have been burning the midnight oil fixing issues people realized once they could finally hook their TVs up to HDMI 2.1 devices in the form of next-gen consoles.

There are a lot of HDMI 2.1 features that aren't terribly important, but VRR is definitely one we need to figure out. I feel like we ended up here because VRR was always an optional spec, which is basically Chekhov's technical debt.

As always, there's never a perfect time to buy a new TV.

While hydrogen might end up "being the future" this prediction has as much substance (perhaps less as there is no scaled up application of the technology) as Musk's claim.

Just want to make the point that the idea of hydrogen still having a lot of potential and is worth investigating is a better claim than making a somewhat baseless assertion that hydrogen is the certain way forward over batteries.

Ask HN: Any resources for developing low-code/no-code tools?
When googling for any tutorials or resources for creating low-code/no-code tools, it seems like all results are how to use low/no-code tools to create apps, but not how to create these tools themselves.

Just giving it some thought, I would assume it's some JavaScript drag-and-drop functionality for the user interface and converting selected components to pre-defined functions? I understand that's an over-simplification, so I'm looking for a better source to really understand everything involved. Can anyone provide any links?

Python took off for data because the frameworks and libraries around it. Without IPython/Jupyter, dataframes, Scipy, it would have way less marketshare.

I mean, don't actually, they do exist (mostly in the realm of inexpensive portable mini-projectors). They're the exception, though, not the norm.

VGA is most certainly still around (and, I agree, shouldn't be, as it is also still terrible), just not in the market that spends $800 on GPUs.
Maybe you should read it again, because that's clearly not what it says. It lists several features which are available right now under the "full self-driving" moniker, and two which will arrive in the future. As it is right now, the system has more functions available than it is planned to have.
I bought 4x95" screens in 2016, they had an ethernet connection which allowed remote control (to connect to an isolated vlan). Sadly some proprietary interface so in the end I just used the supplied remotes to control them (brightness, OSD timers, etc).
Hacking used to be about modifying your hardware.

Smart TVs are relatively cheap compared to large industrial displays. They are also reliable. If you need large secure (no wifi) display, this is pefectly valid option.
That's what my dad said. Personally i like the vehicles too. I think there will continue to be a sizeable market for petrol vehicles as long as bevs are difficult to charge. Hydrogen would be more easy to refill. Hydrogen could fill that market in time.
It may be "within spec" for a Tesla, but other brands with traction control don't have this problem. And that is a typical issue with Tesla, they have too many software guys and too little real world automotive experience. So they'll create these kinds of problems by implementing their own things instead of going with proven existing tech.

The most rampant example was the rain sensor on the early model S. They decided not to buy the same perfectly working sensor that any German car had for 10+ years at the time, no they decided to implement the rain sensor by training some image recognition on the camera that's behind the windscreen. Worst idea ever, because it meant the 100k+ euro Model S had no automatic wipers for a long time and when they got there it was worse at detecting rain than the standard sensor on a 20k euro VW Golf...
I love your idea. This "life management system" space has tons of potential. It needs a unique combination of great data model, consistent syncing and flawless (responsive and attractive) user experience. I think in 5 years you'll see the next unicorn here.

I've used a few variants for "personal CRM / personal tracking"

(a) "Unix" approach: csv files & encrypted text files (e.g. credentials) with gpg. Searching using grep. Edit with Vim.
PROS: compatibility, CLI tools. cons: gets out of sync across devices, poor experience on mobile.
(b) tiddlywiki: pros: works on desktops, good search, cons: poor sync to mobile, poor ux on mobile.
(c) "Google Ecosystem" e.g. Keep (notes), Contacts, Keep (todos), Calendar – Pros: syncs everywhere, cons: apps are slow and limited; also lock in
(d) "Apple Ecosystem" – Notes, Contacts, Calendar, Keychain – Pros: good sync, responsive apps, Cons: lock-in.

A few "killer features" that I've been working on:

(1) A dynamic "daily dashboard" that is a mix of metric graph along with easily manipulated spaces (like sticky notes, diagrams etc). Currently I use Quip for this.
(2) Cyclical relationship reminders (like fitbit exercise reminders, but for your relationships). e.g. "jenny's birthday is in 3 days" or "you haven't called your uncle in 3 weeks, schedule a call". A ring-based interface would be idea, with colors representing the health of that cycle.

I've thought on this a lot. Some key pillars

(1) trust – the most privileged data deserves the highest level of protection
(1b) dynamic – users can manipulate and personalize as they would their home desktop & office space
(2) responsiveness – adding a contact or note should take < 100ms . Zero latency – as fast as a pen and paper
(3) cross-device consistency : a change should instantly sync across devices
(4) comprehensive search
(5) polished UX
(6) mind-map : notes, contacts, events, reminders, photos should all link into each other.
Agreed, nothing is perfect and all humans are biased. But at least the community is educated and diversified enough to avoid common blind spots.
That looks nice, but defo not for me, however this reminds me that I used to use the CLI web browser at some point :D
I've had this before. Gate agents told us we had to book online. Online the next available flight was Thursday.

Is that because many software programmers use “genetic coding” techniques where bugs are randomly fixed until the software works? Or were you mostly dealing with newbie programmers?

It’s not like software doesn’t have similar failure modes to hardware, right?
Firstly, a swap is generally traded "on market", i.e at nil market value (the value of the two legs in the swap are the same), so his bank would never have been a billion at risk.

Secondly, banks have unbelievably onerous KYC processes, and he would not have been able to trade with any counterparty that hadn't been through that (there'd be no legal master agreement, no collateral support or margin agreement, no payment authorisation, no way to even book the trade in the banks systems)

So that anecdote is just... bullshit.
