That's cool and all, but this mentality creates animosity in the system's participants where it's unnecessary. You're focused on just the system's outcome and find NIST to be instrumental in delivering those outcomes. I agree.

But that fails to address the unneeded stress on the system by antagonizing these isolated groups that have made decisions for reasons and have their own history. Appealing to this top-down system ignores how participating is dehumanizing even as its purpose is to serve the people.

I'm arguing you can have your cake and eat it too, we're just choosing not to because decision making carries risks. We want to limit decisions to specific people out of fear of that risk, not out of respect for a system that has proven it's correct.
PET RANT: horrible use of monitor areas by Gdocs.

It's going to be ridiculously annoying once the security professionals start finding exploits for smart TVs and have them worming around the internet - the vendors will be glacially slow to respond, if they do at all. It's going to take an act of market regulation to make them even try to patch old tvs and ensure basic functionality of disconnected tvs. Especially if this aggressive autodiscovery and autojoin stuff ever proves out, and/or they take the logical next step of throwing in a low speed cellular modem like auto manufacturers have.

We're going completely backwards by introducing cruftware into tvs that will be thrown away by the vendor in a year or two - however long it takes for a warranty on that batch to run out. Whatever it takes to sell the next TV at Black Friday I guess.
The word 'autopilot' never meant reacting to anything happening around the vehicle, much less intelligently. Not a single autopilot can do more than keep the vehicle going in the direction you set (using a knob). Autonomous features are not called autopilot anywhere, ever.

'Full self driving capability' is a hardware capability, not a feature that you can turn on - it is there so you don't need to replace the hardware when the autopilot software can be replaced with fully autonomous driving software.

Edit: Downvoters, please explain. It is not okay to redefine words for your purposes.
So he and his passenger went to sleep fully knowing that Tesla's driving assist could fail at any moment?
You mean, they were both suicidal?
Much more plausible is that he is scared to implicate Tesla into this.
1) I feel like this should be obvious, but somehow you didn't do it: you have to compare Domino's with other pizza places--almost all of which have always had internal delivery service--not an external hack like DoorDash.

2) Domino's was always great at delivery, and was always better than all other options (even for pizza). That they bothered to make a slightly better iPhone app than everyone else doesn't somehow affect this: you have to look only at strategy changes. Even the article gets this correct, by stating multiple times that Domino's has always been optimized as a pizza delivery company.

> The most impressive part about Domino’s growth from 1960 to the early 2000s is that they became one of the biggest pizza delivery chains in the world with some of the worst pizza in the world.
It is dying. I've got a mess of monitors that are VGA/DVI, and the video cards don't always have that output anymore. Some do... but watching them fade. VGA maxes out at 1920x1200 or so before you need to make the jump to DVI. Think dual link DVI starts at 2560x1440.

If you know of a 3080 that has DVI, I'm interested.
I think that statement is fair and part of the anxiety/depression I feel. I grew up in a family of poor drug addicts, so I've tied a lot of my notions about success and a "good" life to things like financial security and stability. I've mostly achieved those things but now I'm left with "bigger" questions about what my life means and how I can contribute to the world.
Also a great app!

Well, at least in the case of LG OLED, some thought has been put into the gaming application. They support game mode (very common), black frame insertion (less common), and adaptive sync (new and expensive) in their entry level OLED displays. It ticks every box I have for a gaming display, except for the “costs $0” box.
If you have to take action for it not to do something, it's opt-out, not opt-in.
There's at least 3 different manufacturers that make these things. There's absolutely no reason to point out ChromeCast over Roku or Amazon's FireStick, e.g.
> The fact is, the infrastructure for renting gas vehicles for long drives is already in place, and 99% of driving is short and local.

Exactly.

If you are going on a long trip, renting or renting plus flying is likely best. If you are traveling 1200 miles, do you really want to drive for 20 hours solid? I've done it and it mostly sucks.
So, what's your argument exactly? In every language there's a number of back-end devs who simply don't like using javascript, they want to do everything in a single language, and this is the tool for them. And that's great. I'm just saying that I don't think there's a significant number of them, that's all. Most of young people seem to be enjoying the modern javascript nowadays, and I see zero benefit for them in any of those tools. And the popularity of the tools like LiweWire kinda shows it, as I've heard a lot of Laravel people talking about it, but I personally don't know a single one who actually switched to using it for work in the end... maybe it takes more time, we'll see...

While I don't condone speeding (and acknowledge the relatively greater damage when accidents happen), I think you need to distinguish between that and unsafe driving which are two very different things.

You can be driving below speed limits very unsafely (and above them safely) and the constant focus on speeding, especially via automated mechanisms like cameras at the expense of traffic officers means we risk a much lower standard of driving and much less safe roads.

Note though my concern is not the crackdown on those who flout the law and/or break speed limits; but the misunderstanding of what unsafe driving is (as implied by your comment), and headline anti-speeding measures that are used to reduce costs and increase risk.
The few times I tested, Ruby 2 was ~2x faster than Python 3 in tasks involving iterations on long lists.
Perhaps they should also post them at the council meetings
They do. This person doesn't know what they're talking about.

The point of FIPS is to provide a set of approved algorithms (and other standards) that are considered to be secure due to thorough analysis. Curve25519 has become widely implemented, and hasn't been broken, and has some advantages over the other NIST-approved curves, so NIST will likely approve it.

Password hashing has been rapidly changing over the last few years. PBKDF2 isn't memory-hard, but can be instantiated with only a FIPS-approved cryptographic hash. Bcrypt is OK, Scrypt has different tradeoffs, Argon2 has different tradeoffs (and even more tweakability with multiple variants), Pufferfish2 is cache-hard instead of just memory hard (so potentially better than any of the only-memory-hard systems), etc. NIST probably don't see any reason to update the standard for a marginal improvement when they can wait for the cryptographic research in the area to stabilize.

There's also a lot of research into ways to avoid having to send passwords to servers in the first place with strong asymmetric password-authenticated key exchange (sAPAKE) algorithms. So NIST might end up standardizing a password-based key derivation function separately from a PAKE system.

Personally I think standards should be updated a bit more frequently than they are, but I can understand NIST's conservative stance here.
You can use your phone and a Chromecast Ultra (not the new Chromecast with Google TV).
Interesting fact I learned from this video: early cars were one-wheel-drive!

If you can afford a Tesla, renting a car for 1 week a year isn't a big burden.
Right, so just so you know - the LG OLEDs are particularily well suited for it, because if you rename the input source as "PC" it is treated as a special source with absolutely no processing applied to it, full 4:4:4 bandwidth enabled, and many reviews have measured the response time in sub 10ms range - same as top-end PC monitors. It might not be the case for many other displays, but those OLEDs work brilliantly for that use case(having said that, I probably would still advise against it, unless you mostly play games/watch movies, since OLED burn-in is still very real)
I think GPT-3's private beta distribution strategy widens economic inequality
I don't disagree with any of those points (except perhaps to point out that always verifying through another channel can still be a viable solution if any breaches aren't too far reaching).

I would like to add that it's easy to be overconfident when running simulated phishing attacks too. At one place, reporting an email as suspicious would trigger a scan of the email which crawled every link, including the /phished/<my-unique-guid> links. The people with the worst scores were precisely those who followed corporate policy to the letter and reported every suspicious email. It took about one cycle of that nonsense before everyone had email rules deleting the simulated phishing emails.

The 4+4 big.LITTLE configuration is not "laptop-class".

It is the right configuration for a CPU with 10 W or 12 W TDP, which is OK only for a fanless ultrabook, like MB Air.

For the laptops intended for more serious work you want a CPU with 15 W to 60 W TDP, in which case the right configuration must have at least 8 big cores.
Not sure if this is more or less extreme option, but you could put the TV in a Faraday cage, or build a Faraday cage into your walls.

So whatever happened to "low center drive"? Every car I've been in seems to have that "hump" down the middle where the axis is.

The people that run that website are amazing, I've met them on several occasions to pick up an order and they always hook it up with extra stuff. The marinade they sell, Spur Tree brand I believe, is the best. I bought a gallon of it last year and am probably 2/3 through it. It's good smoked with apple wood too but the pimento imparts a flavor that just can't be beat.
You can get a Beovision by Bang & Olufsen, but then you need to get the big card out as they are pretty expensive compared to a standard off the shelf smart-tv, as they are more a design item than anything else.
All valid points, but to be fair you can already do all those things with regular documents.
it's dying off as a source, but my guess is it will remain as an input for a long time. the TV I bought this year still has component video inputs. when's the last time you bought a piece of equipment that only outputs analog video?

> There's no reason any other form of biometrics is less secure than fingerprints.

Anything which is a non-standard fallback with limited use is likely to be less secure. Not because the method would be inherently worse, but just because reduced use means that less attention and effort goes into building and maintaining it.
Reminds me of a buddy of mine working on a computer game. Gravity needed to be simulated -- easy enough, the formula is as basic as it gets. Results looked wrong to him though and he ended up using some trigonometric function instead ;-}
They do learn tire diameters, they can even detect a flat using this information.
I totally agree. I published one paper at NeurIPS this year and I work in a machine learning subfield where I basically only train networks on the MNIST digits dataset. It felt pretty pointless having to write down that I had no ethical concerns as my study only deals with handwritten digits. Some other researchers in my field got more creative and wrote down how their allegedly more efficient training algorithms would actually stop global warming... that really was pretty pointless.
If you’re up for it, go watch an old episode of the show Columbo [1]. Each episode from this 1970’s era TV was over an hour long with no commercials. It’s full of slow, long, quiet scenes. There’s so much time. It’s really amazing to watch. It helped inspire me while making YouTube videos to give more time when cutting things, even if it’s not optimized for algorithmic advancement.

I'm starting to suspect that too. The 2 or 3 that can do it are ~$50-$80, which is almost getting to x86 territory anyway.
> There is literally no difference, in this regard, between a dumb TV with a dongle/box plugged in, and a smart TV which has exactly the same thing built-in.

There is a big difference. If someone comes out with a privacy respecting box to plugin, I can justify spending $50-$100 to use that instead of the box I have that works fine. If someone comes out with a privacy respecting quality TV, I'm not going to buy it to replace a working TV.

Currently going with a TV with smart features that I don't use. Hopefully it doesn't pull a 'must connect to network' stunt after a while as I've heard some do.
HN is an echo chamber too... it's inevitable in any community, online or not.

Tesla marks all these features as beta on the menu where you activate them, and pops up a long warning text explicitly stating the limitations. I don’t think Tesla could do much more than they already do.
> If petroleum didn't already exist we'd be trying to create it.

You are forgetting about the power of NIMBY!

If gasoline weren't already a vital piece of infrastructure, nobody would allow a gas station to be built in their neighborhood. Any time someone tried to build one, the pile of litigation would bury the prospective builder. This is already an issue and our society has largely taken the risks of having (literal) toxic waste at the end of their block.
I wasn't judging by open source. I was judging by:

1) Who is hiring top people in my group of colleagues

2) Who is described by people who work there as having a healthy work environment (i.e. people want to work there)

For Twitter, I'll admit I have a small enough N that I can't speak with very much confidence at all. I have one or two friends there, but they seem very happy, describe their peers as smart, etc. They're competent and I trust them, but well, one or two anecdotes doesn't make data.

But Twitter did put out a few high-profile things like Bootstrap. I don't like or use Bootstrap myself, but it's predominant in that area.
“It will be launched at the beginning of 2020.” ... is still on their website today. Doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence.

When the asymptomatic rate is high, it’s hard to determine if the vaccine is truly works, and to what degree. If 40% of people are asymptomatic then that would theoretically mean that 40% of challenge trial participants won’t show symptoms. Does that mean the vaccine is working? Who knows. It could be working, it may also not work.

The only way to do it and get real results is to use a challenge trial only on the elderly population where the asymptomatic rate is low and where the symptoms are exaggerated. This would mean though that if the vaccine didn’t work you would overwhelm the hospital system with a lot of sick elderly people who require the most care, when the healthcare system is already overwhelmed.
Imagine I am a John Smith that doesn't know anything about Tesla and how the tech works. I want to buy their car because maybe I like the idea of an electric car and they seem to be well reviewed. I go through the configurator, then tick the box next to the option called "Full Self-Driving capability".

In your opinion, in front of the court of law, would you consider that John Smith has purchased a car that has something called "Full Self-Driving Capability", or not? In front of the same court of law - would you consider that Tesla advertises such a thing when presenting their cars?

>>Autonomous features are not called autopilot anywhere, ever.

You are absolutely correct, other car companies call this what it is - (adaptive) cruise control. Not autopilot.

>>'Full self driving capability' is a capability, not a feature that you can turn on

Well, but the website itself says that at the moment, as-is(not in the future!) the car will be able to autonomously drive from on-ramp to an off-ramp on the motorway - so.....that sounds like a feature to me? It even has a button for it! What is it about turning it on or off?
Aren't there fully self-driving vehicles undergoing testing on normal city streets with stoplights? We could say that's a different mode than high-speed highway driving, but there are a number of locations where those modes blend into each other. Are the experimenters extra careful to avoid those locations? How long before the tech exists to address this issue?
In the PDF editor I use there’s an option called “Flatten”.

Storing the change vector is essential for collaborative editing in the moment. But the UI should highlight a Flatten feature as part of explicit Saving or Sharing actions.
Full Self Driving Capability suggests that the car has Full Capability to drive itself.

Bryant was, in fact, a major international celebrity. He was among the most popular players in a sport with global reach - his jersey was the highest-selling for many years - and represented the US in 2 Olympic gold medal runs, including when the games were hosted by the nation that represents the largest market for basketball outside the US (China).

I suspect, as is common in the tech and venture capital scene worldwide, his race had something to do with the appraisal a limited number of influential people on HN had of him. What's important to me is that people in this community start to recognize the blindspots and, in unfortunate cases, biases which contribute to the schism between the makers and the people whose lives their creations are supposed to be making better. Step one would be taking this criticism seriously and with humility.
In that case Visa is undervalued because they make payments much easier than bitcoin.
My Tesla has regularly come to a full stop from freeway speeds in response to traffic ahead. This may not be 100% reliable, but it’s not true that “the system is trained to ignore stationary objects”.

It also beeps when it thinks I’m going to hit a stopped car and other things that demonstrate that this claim is false.
I'd have to look up the numbers. Cost wise, a pure hydrogen pipeline is cheaper for sure. At scale at least. Until that scale is reached, using carrier oil is much cheaper, but still competitive enough to get it going.

EDIT: The oil is called marlotherm something, if memory serves well.

No, you should read that website, and perhaps try to buy a Tesla and see the materials. It says clearly that it's the hardware and that the software is not there yet.
It’s entirely possible that self-driving cars could be realistic about the time we all get flying cars.
> There are many times that I need to rewrite my code because of non-adequate design.

Formal education won't give you the knowledge to get it right every single time. Your design will be always non-adequate because the circumstances always change.

The knowledge body of a CS and engineering can be obtained without enrolling these days. Engineering is about problem solving within the resource constrains and to a specification. Getting the specification right and fitting in the resource constrains are the biggest challenges that only experience will prepare for, because these are domain-specific.

CS and engineering studies can give you a toolkit to solve some problems and helps to give you to develop a "gut instinct" to pick a solution.
Tesla makes you apply force to the steering wheel occasionally, but there are hacks that to try to circumvent it.
Was glad to see this response here. It's similar to me with the situation we had where high-end automobiles used to put a lot of effort into their touchscreen "entertainment" systems: systems that always sucked and made an otherwise-luxury car feel like a PC Junior. Thankfully, most of them have switched over to Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, where I get a MUCH better UI that, importantly, I can update on a much more frequent basis than my entire car, from companies that know how to build digital UIs.

High end "dumb TV" plus Chromecast (or whatever competitor) is the best solution for me.
