Ok, so we must have very different views of public health if you consider the south african system to work near perfection. I mean, can you really say that given south african HIV prevalence? And that's just an example among many others.
I agree. Most people are far better off switching every 3 years. I just put in my 2 weeks notice this past week at my current company and I'm getting a massive raise in total compensation. Its not FAANG or necessarily a large company but its proper "big tech".

Employment is at will, and that goes 2 ways. If a company isn't willing to support you in your career long term, there's no reason to support the company long term as an employee.

RIP: Minix was the first "Unix like" I was able to tinker with. It was the very early 90s and I was taking a computer repair class (learning DOS, Mac, and Netware). Eventually I asked a teacher, "what is Unix?" and he said, "oh I've used it once or twice, it is quite elegant compared to DOS..."

Sounded interesting, and somehow I found a copy of Minix for my 386 that I cobbled together from parts. Not sure where I got it, but probably downloaded from a BBS. A year or two later after getting a job, I'd discover Sun, SGI, and Linux. My experience with Minix helped me get around at the shell.
That person must have been married to the world for a while already, then.
But death is a possible outcome of a crash, and an increase in crashes will lead to a corresponding increase in deaths, unless it somehow only prevents serious crashes (in which case, great). Also one death is a dumb threshold for anything.
HIV is not a proximity transmissible disease so the reality is it's well controlled anywhere you've managed to get the use of barrier contraception methods into widespread adoption.

And at the end of the day if it can't spread through casual contact then it's impact on wider society will be limited once it's understood.
You are resting your pov on the assumption that more people = more and better jobs. This isn't necessarily true if there is an oversupply of workers to employers.
Easily believable. Keep in mind that clang is part of the userspace that clang is building. Moving to clang means building that instead of building ack, you're building clang.

Plan 9 is similar: a full system rebuild takes about 45 seconds on my hardware. A clang (and just a clang build) build on similar hardware takes about 2 hours.

If Tesla has a 1/2 rate of accidents compared to human drivers, should people still go to prison? What if it’s 1/4, 1/8, etc?

I think a small enough rate of mistakes by Tesla el al, is not a huge problem, considering the technology is promising to substantially cut the fatality rates.

> But here’s the key part: “cross-react” does not mean “neutralize” and it does not mean “provide protection from”. These antibodies may or may not have been neutralizing against the other coronaviruses, but they don’t seem to have any such effect on the current one. And in keeping with that, having such cross-reactive antibodies seems to provide no protection against catching SARS-Cov2 or against being hospitalized with it if you do. There’s no difference in the infection/hospitalization rates of the people who had cross-reactive coronavirus serum antibodies ready to go versus those who didn’t. They’re basically useless.
> It's possible I didn't think it flowery because of this aspect of my life. And, so, I don't know what you are talking about or what relevance that has to my frustrations with a world that wants to say "These kids are defective" instead of wondering at what widespread changes have led to this seemingly sudden "epidemic" of supposedly defective kids who supposedly have sensory issues, lack social skills, etc.

Yeah, entirely possible. For what it's worth, I was trying to agree. I think I just look at it from a different angle, or may have already arrived on the idea that, society decided what a functioning adult is supposed to do/be, and leaves no room for the idea that this is fundamental evolution at play thus people get pressured into behaving/acting/thinking neurotypically.

My use of flowery probably invokes an imagery I wasn't going for, so that's on me.

I’d like to know the impact of people not getting sick as much. I haven’t been sick in a bee a year and it’s great. Almost all of my illnesses came from the workplace.
Nice course to learn optical character recognition.
The vaccines create a much more potent antibody response than the titers we see in convalescent plasma. 5-10x less binding probably translates to somewhat reduced efficacy (no one really knows, but 75% vs. 95% might be a reasonable guess). Of course, this is a really complicated thing, because it's not just the immediate antibody response, but also the T-cell response, and also how quickly on a subsequent infection the set of antibodies develops and broadens even more.

We do know that e.g. in Israel where there's very high amounts of vaccine deployed and nasty variants, that case control studies show a large effect still.
We also don’t have the stress of bankrupting our patients. For all the difficulties we face at work; in public practice we are more worried about the parking fee for our elderly patients than the cost of treatment.
This is a completely reasonable and realistic premise. Within the Left community there are plenty of Marxist-Leninist academics and there was a significant overlap with postmodernists, perhaps owing to its roots in the Parisian intellectual scene. Chomsky is a Libertarian Socialist.
Well, the code never guaranteed that people would not merge the PoW chain to the PoS chain :)
Given the amount of scientific and technological progress the human race had made thanks to people on the spectrum it seems fairly obvious to suspect there would be selection pressure for autistically-minded individuals.

I'm sure there are factors that make someone more likely to present as autistic though. I think there is some evidence to suggest that prenatal hormone levels (and specifically testosterone) have some influence, and I believe some researchers have even gone so far to say that the autistic brain is wired like the male brain but to an extreme. It may just be that older woman are more likely to have suboptimal hormone levels which makes these kind of developmental extremes more likely.
Me too: I've tended to let the database do a lot of heavy lifting before I bring data in. Maybe I don't actually need to do that.
Yes, active lane keeping. I don't know much about them, as I have a 15 year old car that only has ABS that helps with breaking, but I read that Porsche's is much worse than Tesla's suite (even if you just want to stay in the same lane)
Also tuberculosis, which kills 1-2 million people per year.
> You must be talking about Vern Unsworth? He's NOT a diver and did not rescue anybody. He was a "cave expert".

You must be responding to a strawman argument that I never made. Please show me where I claimed anything other than "he helped save children's lives".

> He was enjoying the limelight and was pretty hostile to anyone/anything that was taking the attention away from him. He also wanted to make money from the fame.

Considering that this is exactly what Musk did, I find it pretty ironic that his fans have no problem projecting that upon people that Musk smears.

> He said on a video interview to take the submarine and shove it where the "sun doesn't shine" while maniacally laughing.

Musk forced himself into a high stakes situation where literal children's lives were at risk. Instead of listening to the experts and officials executing the rescue effort, Musk turned the tragedy into a PR event and injected himself and his companies into a situation that he both wasn't wanted in and was asked not to participate in.

When celebrities get involved with disaster scenarios, especially when they are not experts in themselves, they interfere with rescue efforts because officials often trust celebrity advice and interference over that of experts[1].

Had officials delegated to Musk's celebrity and his impractical "submarine", the children would have died. Why? Because the submarine was physically unable to navigate the sharp turns[2] that were required to reach the children and get them out.

Unsworth, an expert and participant in the effort, used much kinder words than I would have had Musk tried to make a disaster that affected me into a PR spectacle.

I am blaming our immigration policy, not the "newcomers" as you say. Newcomers are obviously just doing what is best for them personally. Also, more than half of Germany's population rents housing. Most Canadians would not be satisfied with that.
It's a very hit and miss feature, like most AI enhance stuff.

Often enough it will look worse than bicubic interpolation. Chroma noise get's crazy most of the time.

Nice to have option all in all.
Even if you completely write off the FSD, Tesla's safety scores are really good. The model 3 got 5 stars in every NHTSA category, and the lowest probability of injury of any vehicle they ever tested.

Basically compare how software is developed by all of us to how software was written for the space shuttle.

There is just absolutely no comparison in process or methodology. Space shuttle programming is what true software engineering looks like.
IME BMWs have a rather ambiguous hair-trigger to disengage the speed limiter, unlike some other makes where you would need to push the gas pedal to kickdown (with the obvious tactile bump) for the same. I think that might be skewing GP's view.

Losing the ability to change the limit or (dis)engage at will makes the feature practically useless too, considering the various speed limit zones one goes through in one drive -- not to mention dynamic speed limits based on weather and other conditions.
I'm not sure what the person you're replying to is talking about but it sounds pretty easy to have a conflict of interest.

If a non profit is doing something for free that a company is charging for, anything they say about the non-profit should be observed with caution.
I think L4 has it beat. One variant alone, OKL4, has shipped in billions (possibly tens of billions) of mobile devices.
So if developers released a "jubilee" version of the software that took all ETH away from addresses that hadn't spent anything in 5 years, and distributed it evenly across all Ethereum addresses less 2 years old (which one might imagine would be a boon to a large number of users), would that be sufficient to upgrade the network?

Asking because one huge advantage I see in Bitcoin's upgrade procedure is that developers alone can't change the monetary policy -- i.e. developers can't just bribe users to screw over investors. I'm curious why the "All Core Devs call dictates software releases" upgrade process is considered an acceptable alternative?
>judge ruled on it, so there were definitely things being said in court

The judge ruled on the settlement, nor the actual merits of the case.

I only called it their legal argument as you did not understand what I was saying, I probably could have worded that better. It was their stated position on the issue, and is very similar to the "fully self driving" being discussed.

I am done with this, if you want to think I oversold Subway's claim, I disagree but fine.
Hey! Founder of Athens here, we just launched on HN 2 weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26316793

Agree with your comment. What we've found is that most people don't actually want to self-host, even technical users who can. But they all want the optionality to self-host, which you don't have with most SaaS's like Notion or Roam. This is doubley important for "second brains", apps where you brain dump your closest thoughts.

As Balaji has said, given the choice, "you'd always pick open source over a comparable proprietary equivalent."

I've always thought that true engineering is anything that involves human lives. Bridges, pipes, roads, pace makers, space ships, rockets. Websites don't kill people, it ain't engineering.
They’re accountable to people who don’t care about your issue, that’s not a lack of accountability. Accountability doesn’t always mean you agree with the direction or outcome.
But if you want something between rust and ruby, checkout crystal (garbage collected, strongly typed with inference, llvm binary, ruby-like syntax, fast like golang).
>But in my opinion, in today's society, if you take away the need for people to struggle (which UBI will do) they often end up in a worse mental and physical shape than if you make them suffer a bit.

This is exactly the opposite of how people actually work people excel when given support and opportunity to grow. Adversity especially insofar as fear of basic needs being met isn't inspiring it's stunting.

Anything else is a basic dysfunction in understanding people fed by survivorship bias. Imagine if you met someone who was sure that plant growth was maximized by periodically holding a lighter to one or another of the leaves because all the surviving plants had gone through that. Your understanding is every bit as ridiculous.

We can find sufficient challenge and adversity as we need to move us in our own selves, relationships, and field of endeavor.
> MS has realized that [...] making your stuff open source makes you more popular and influential.

You've got to be kidding. Microsoft isn't about to open source Windows, Office, or any of its crown jewels. They are only opening the source for bits that aren't profit centers and where widespread use would benefit them. And it is a trap... Think Oracle Java. As soon as they see an opening, they'll close it back up and fragment the user base between the open source and proprietary versions.
When a driver fails they are culpable, when an auto pilot fails who is culpable, who loses a license and potentially faces criminal charges?

Auto pilot vs human drivers is not apples to apples because of the culpability question imo.
> Considering that this is exactly what Musk did, I find it pretty ironic that his fans have no problem projecting that upon people that Musk smears.

A bit ad hominem isn't it? How do you know I am a fan? Everything I said are facts from court documents. Unsworth was even hostile to actual rescuers/divers... Are they fans of Musk too?

How do you address this statement by Unsworth: "I will make the divers sugger [sic] for leaving us out of the loop"

I think it speaks volumes about what kind of person he is and his moral values. Trying to capitalize on a "high stakes situation" per your own words. He is not exactly the saint/hero you're claiming. Based on court documents. Not my own opinion.
This is simply not possible. Even if you could get enough radio line of sight p2p nodes online to bypass centralized fiber backbone providers, the government in charge of the land your towers are on can still shut you down. The only censorship free computing is purely locally networked. There are no global communication channels that can't be blocked.
While it is probably true that the provided library is incompatible with sleep modes, it is also true that ESP sleep modes are said not to work right. Just from the data sheet, the regular sleep mode draws quite a lot more current than it should. Apparently, getting it to wake up reliably from a deep sleep mode, instead, where power draw would be reasonable, is more tricky or unreliable than is documented.

If you want a true low-power system, you probably need to use STM or something else.
Not my experience at all. I am a lot more productive working from home.

You're aware that HN posts aren't deleted, right? I know because of your own posts[1]. Of 338 total comments, 140 of them are defending Tesla, which is what 41.42% of your total posts are about.

For someone who claims they aren't a fan, you sure have a strange fixation with defending the company, even making it a significant chunk of your HN career.

I implore anyone who thinks that's an "ad hominem" to point this out to click on this link[1].

I had one of the better interview experiences of my career a few weeks ago---the interviewer pasted a bunch of code in my editor and said, "Tell me why this code sucks."

(it had credentials in the source code, was mixing different concerns all over the place).

Toronto is not a world class city like NYC, as much as it wishes it was. Toronto buckling under the weight of immigration numbers is due to the artificial population growth the government has mandated every year since 1988.

I linked to a raw PDF inside a viewer containing Tesla/CA DMV's emails directly from a FOIA request-response. Are you claiming the site forged these emails?

That's literally within the last six months..? Pointing out that they're even newer only strengthens my case that comparing them to a 2016 video is disingenuous.

Overlays are fine. I’ve used them for all sorts of stuff.

Tying them to pid 1, and forcing them to be used all the time for some hacked up thing where /usr is different depending on which process is looking at it? Not so much.
No the Lenovo ThinkPad Compact USB Keyboard with TrackPoint(I don't mind the differences so much.) Using SharpKeys this is really easy. I do have a traditional Thinkpad keyboard non Japanse though.

All you do is press the key in the "Type Key" blank in SharpKeys.

I have actually gotten a Japanese Thinkpad keyboard for my laptop although its for the T420 model. I would have to check my Desktop to see how this works again(on a laptop right now) if you want the actual scan codes. I will say I haven't gotten this to work on Linux just Mac and Windows unfortunately.
Reminds me of the John Maynard Keynes quote, "Newton was not the first of the age of reason. He was the last of the magicians".

Great idea, but very difficult implementation. A few random points:

- Latin America countries share the same language, mostly the same problems, but their banking systems operate in completely different ways; the only thing they have in common is that they are all financial oligopolies. You have to manage money through them in their local currencies, that is, somehow you need their blessing to operate.

- The formal sector probably doesn't need these services, they probably have traditional systems in place. However, the informal sector (which is up to 75% of all the Small Businesses in some countries) surely are in need of such services. But then you may be operating in a gray area between legality and illegality since in a way you are facilitating financial operations to non-registered businesses. You may need to consult lawyers in each country, again, each country has different financial rules and laws.-

- Corruption. Many crooks in key political positions don't want the status quo to be altered. Do not underestimate their power.

- Most Small Businesses perform their daily operations with cash, and they feel safer using cash instead of plastic. You need to gain their trust in order to move them toward a digital economy.
