What part is serviceable on an M1 SoC? I returned my M1 MBA because I don't want to think on how to replace the SSD after two or three years of norm usage.

It's a great machine, but will buy it only after an official statement of Apple confirming what's the TBW of their ssd. It's 150? 300 or 600. Nobody knows.
Opening scene: American diplomat explaining worksite to UN inspectors, 1963:

"You see, the 500 bomb stockpile is over here and the fleet of supply planes is way over there!

We'd have to carry say this entire bomb All The Way over into that plane. Do you know how heavy that thing is?

Besides, when has America dropped an atomic weapon on a city say within the past decade and a half? Right...

These outlandish conspiracy theories; they hurt, they really do."
We are talking about two different things.

Should the author of some text have a right to ask money from people, for allowing them to read it? I think they should have such right and it is wrong to break it.

Should the users of Hacker News promote expensive software, websites ... when there are cheaper or free alternatives? The users of Hacker News should be educated. Unless Bloomberg has several HN accounts and upvoted this link itself.
This is driver flexibility. They choose the amount of deliveries they take. The drivers do this because they want more money.

People generally courier as an in-between job, like construction laborer, and they appreciate the ability to earn more, quickly. As a laborer I used to put in 14h days with cleanup. But that kept me from losing income during a career switch so it was a choice I was happy to make.
There may be some specific parts of assembly generation where compilers are still outperformed by men, just as there are still specific parts of chess where men still outperform machines, but overall machines beat human programmers.

The argument of allowing a human programmer to spend vastly more time is hardly fair, one could also probably write a hyper-optimizing compiler that takes far longer to compile to level the playing field, and that compiler will still triumph over men in how optimized the end result is.

The only real advantage overal to human programmers here is the flexibility. A man can easily be told “spend four months on optimizing this”, a machine would have to be substantially rewritten to fully take advantage of being given extra time.
A new subdomain normally will do the trick, but might be suboptimal due to the work needed to be done according to scale/tech/job involved. For example, doing this as a sys in a big company requires jumping through bureaucracy hoops, not to mention setting up ssl for it(I know there is letsencrypt but you know, some coporate doesn't want them). A short TTL will just be "Well just try it again in 10 minutes and it'll work."

Note both Waymo and Tesla have sensor fusion systems. I believe both are using CV and (ultrasonic?) radar, Waymo is additionally including Lidar.

I certainly agree with you on all those points, and I regret the somewhat conspiratorial implications I made. I definitely acknowledge that a large percentage of MIT faculty (and students) very likely don't share this view.

Something about the slanted, biased tone of the article just really rubbed me the wrong way, whether or not it's a case of it solely being the opinion of this one writer and they just don't happen to have other cybersecurity writers, or a case of the paper having had this slant in general for a long time, or the unsubstantiated (and I think unlikely) case that any powerful people at MIT itself somehow had a direct role in the article being published or that the writer independently felt they had to toe the line with such people.
Wouldn't the simple solution here to limit speed such that it can stop within the distance that can be seen to be clear ahead? I mean this is exactly how you are supposed to drive but few actually do (which leads to perverse situations where you have to drive faster than you safely can to avoid someone driving into the back of you at 70mph in heavy fog).
Given the early stage, I find the idea of anyone having an "unassailable lead" to be laughable.

The idea that the one with such a lead is Tesla is even more laughable, and I say that as someone that actually likes some significant elements of Tesla's approach. Although I pretty strongly dislike some aspects too.
This is a really wonderful idea! Thanks, OP.
> The employer is literally coercing the employee into attending these "information" sessions by threatening their survival, and it needs to stop.

I don't get it. The employer is paying you for your time. Why does it matter whether it's stacking boxes or sitting in front of a TV?

> This is not a free association any more than you "choosing" to drive on the correct side of the road, when the alternative is to starve, or miss rent / mortgage.

Are they threatening to fire the employees if they form a union?
I understand what mallocarray does and why it is preferable. In these cases, the multiplied values happen to be constrained such that overflow is not possible. Given that precondition, the two patterns are functionally equivalent.

For what it's worth, I tend to advocate for using mallocarray and would use mallocarray in the same places Donenfeld does here. But unless overflow can actually happen, it's stylistic rather than "bug."
This sort of conflations are typical in social commentary situations, comedy especially. This is absolutely something I could see done in an act done by Carlin or Williams.
Boxes don't spew propaganda at you while you stack them. At least not yet.

Edit: Yep, predictable. Y'all want to upvote "fingers crossed for yes," but then downvote for suggesting employers shouldn't be able to propagandize against unions. Let's just make it go away rather than have a discussion, yeah?

Edit in response to your edit: no, but they're literally threatening to fire anyone who doesn't sit and listen to their propaganda. Amazon doesn't give a relative shit if they fire you, but you sure do if you don't have $400 to your name.
So "type driven dispatch" meant only dispatch that can be decided at compile time? Is it even called dispatch at that point?
Right, that's why they need to be terminated regardless of their specific style of employment.

Trying to steel man David Foster Wallace here, I would say his point is that, if you define "religion" instead as a sort of personal philosophy, then we all have one. And because we all have a philosophy of some sort, we all have desires, rules, and some sort of ethical principles, we don't have atheists.

The point he has relies on a faulty premise. When people talk about religion and atheism, they aren't using the definition of Wallace. They're using the strict definition - non-theist. Not a theist. They don't believe in god. they are saying absolutely nothing about the rest of their philosophy.

He RELIES on changing the definition of religion into something it very clearly isn't. And he does this in order to provide evidence that people, who obviously exist, must not according to his definition. It's like saying "Homosexuality doesn't exist, because all homosexuality is is is rejecting the beauty of certain genders. But we all recognize the beauty of our mothers and brothers and fellow humans, and the grace they give and the home they provide. No human would be human without loving thy neighbor".

It's insulting. And other than that, it has absolutely no value, intellectually, morally, or otherwise.

I'm not sure people are wanting an SoC to be "serviceable".

I think most people understand you have to "replace" at that point.
Using robots.txt to avoid search engines indexing the page is the most stupid thing you can do. Not only it's not mandated by law that search engines have to follow the rules in the file, but also you are giving to the public a known file where you put all the URL that you don't want to be public. And everyone that wants to get some information on a site the first thing that goes to see is the robots file.

The correct thing would be to serve pages with the appropriate HTTP header to disable indexing. Of course search engines are still not obliged to follow the header, just as they are not obliged to follow the robots.txt file, but you are not leaking more information that you need.

Really, robots.txt file is only useful to reduce the load on the server by crawlers, it shouldn't be used as a protective measure!
Every robotics VC holds their breath in anticipation...
There's two issues to deconflate:

1. Reducing fees associated with smaller payments - it would be nice to be able to buy a candy bar or give a street performer a tip without costing anyone an arm and a leg to put a transaction through.

2. More choices - too many choices are bad, unless you're framing a poster.

This looks awesome! A much easier way to ask people I know for quick feedback. Can I see other people's answers from past questions?
Yeah. The author here is just wrong.

Tesla's bet on CV is the biggest thing holding it back and everyone else is using both. Does Tesla have the best and most sophisticated CV tech? Probably. Is that better than having LIDAR and CV? Probably not.
I was about to reply "At least not yet", but your edit beat me to the punch!
Ask HN: How can I stay gainfully employed when I just want to “coast” as a SWE?
In my immediate family there is no precedent for following a career. I'm the first one to graduate college, so I approach my jobs like how my dad treats his blue-collar job. Just doing something that pays the bills. I do like programming otherwise but not with the pressure to be super-ambitious.

I want a software engineer job where most people are basically coasting, but everyone seems to look down at my slow career growth. They expect a "story" in my resume with a definite "beginning" and "end" with development and accomplishments in the middle. Sorry, but I haven't yet adjusted to that mindset and I don't know if I can.

This worked fine for me in 2010, but in 2015 and beyond it has gotten way more difficult to get job offers. I never even have a proper FT job. or retirement accounts. I'm now a part-time freelancer that chases after short projects but doesn't earn enough for a livable salary.

Is this the industry telling me I'm not cut out to be a career programmer? Am I just now limited to using programming as a hobby, to tinker around with home projects while I take a job in something very different? I don't know what else I'd like to do (that doesn't require returning to college) and I don't like where that possibility is heading for me.

I just wanted to model my career after the pacing of my parents' jobs since that is what I have been most accustomed to in my life. Is there still room for older but lower-end programmers who work like this?
My primary focus is on the app design. The user stories are something I'm going to test the waters with but I'm confident I can hit the mark on both.
I'm amazed it was that high. Shows how much of a bubble I live in.
To be fair, its easier than that. You can get a really close approximation just by using their speeds on a level closed track, ideally on a fair-weather day.

Ah, it's well above the median wage -- almost twice as high, in fact. It's not enough to live a life of extreme luxury, but to say it isn't livable is going a bit far.
Only so long as it be mandatory to obey.

Rust was specifically designed so that one can ignore all the restrictions if one be confined and tell the compiler “I know better, and I know it is safe.”.

Of course, if one be wrong in such confidence, u.b. lurks around the corner.

I suppose one big problem with Rust is that it's less specified than in C what is and isn't safe, so it's harder to be so confident.

Predicting the future is hard. It's not clear that Visa knows anything either; they could just be hedging their bets with a pilot program that could be discontinued.

They do a lot of other currency conversions and charge for it too. Maybe they're hoping to get some good fees for this from some merchants who want it?

I don't expect a lot of demand, but I'll speculate that perhaps there are some merchants who might prefer USDC over other kinds of currency conversion, depending which way has higher fees?

Heh, indeed, and is why there's huge pileups when it's slightly surprisingly wet, slippery, icy, foggy, etc.

Clearly if people drove for conditions you would not have giant pileups when the weather changes.
I don't know how this will pan out, but I've seen a lot of criticism of Tesla "only" using vision, as if it's a ridiculous concept that will never work.

But humans drive... only using vision.

Maybe it's not possible for Tesla to get true FSD using only video data given current technology, but the idea that it's laughable doesn't make any sense to me. People drive in new environments, using only their eyes, all the time.

> This practice really should be banned, IMO. The employer is taking advantage of the fact that the employee typically needs the job to survive.

I assume Amazon is paying for the time these employees have to spend in the mandatory information sessions? I don't see the problem.

Amazon MUST get the opportunity to present its case even if anti-union is not a popular stance. If the deal offered by Amazon is so bad then what is the harm? We should not be shielding people from information because we don't believe they're smart enough to see through it... that reeks of elitist paternalistic thinking.
I don't see what the problem is.

Realistically, any company investing in one of these robots is going to make sure it's right for their workflow and that they're using boxes capable of being lifted this way.

Cheap mouse sensors can have issues still, and using any sensitivity but the default on Windows effectively skips or duplicates movements from hardware.

Strange thing happened to me; I have a bluetooth dongle and headset. If I plug it into a USB3 port, it has a range of about 6". Fortunately my case has a pair of USB2 ports, and my MB has a matching header. When I wired those up, it works pretty much anywhere in the room. Since the BT dongle is a USB 2 device, I would have thought that the port would use the lower frequency and the EMI would be the same as a USB2 port. Not sure why it isn't.
> I have no idea why the level of discourse is on average so primitive, I think church leaders have been systematically underestimating the populace.

They're not underestimating the populace. They're catering to them in a desperate attempt to stay economically viable. The big beautiful building, supporting staff, production equipment, etc doesn't pay for itself.

Many churches are operated as businesses - ones which have realized that the easiest, most profitable mode of operation is to refrain from teaching/challenging your supporters as much as possible. Mix in a sense of tradition, some political activism, and a touch of self-righteousness and you've got yourself a recipe for a successful organization. At least until your congregation passes away and their children realize they have no use for you.

There are still a few churches out there which use the hellfire-and-brimstone approach, but it's not very effective on Gen X and younger. Nowadays, I'm certain it drives more people away from Christianity than it brings in.
It's up to the reader to decide what is worthwhile for them.

Also, whether that quote is relevant or not is not what is being argued. The original dispute (on a surface level) was about a "rhetorical technique". Now you say it is manipulative and dishonest, which is a completely different thing and obviously false.
That would be fair. When I said "this practice should be banned," I meant the way it is now, where the employer gets to abuse their position to shove their opinion down peoples' throats. Make them invite in a union rep and give them equal time, and I'd be good with it.

"All these 'thank you's and 'please's are annoyingly adding to the verbosity of the bug reports!" said no small-scale open source software maintainer, ever.
I agree with this. Humans have a tough time driving in the snow for quite a few reasons, but the ability of our eyes (which are fantastic technology) to differentiate objects covered in white snow is a big part of it, so camera's and CV are going to have a much tougher time that the combination of human brain and eye.

On the other hand, driving in the snow is a very very small portion of most driving commutes, so maybe the solution is for the car to automatically turn off autonomous driving in the snow. The warmer half the world would not care it does not work in the snow.
And why should an employer pay for something against their interests?

HTML already isn't meaningfully accessible. Gemini will still be an upgrade, because there's much less to spam screenreaders with, by virtue of being effectively just a hyperlinked document layer.

I think accessibility is critically-important, too, but acting like it's something required for success (however you define success) is denying the existence of the platform Gemini's already trying to supplant.
Why MUST they, if the union doesn't?

I do understand the point, and believe me, it makes me very sad that I can never fully erase this fear.

All I can do is my personal best to turn down the fear notch. But I'll admit--if I were a male colleague, I would still hold onto some of that fear to some degree.
Tesla fanboys seem to frequently forget the following facts:

* People using lidar also use deep learning.

* Lidar and HD maps are totally orthogonal concepts with nothing to do with each other. Lidar helps you avoid running into trucks without HD maps. Camera-based methods can use HD maps too.

* Lidars are less affected by rain and snow than cameras are (thanks to larger optical aperture, multiple returns, and faster "shutter speed" due to nanosecond pulses rather than 1/30 s exposures).

* Tesla's "big data" is not more effective than a concerted active learning data collection campaign with a moderate-sized fleet.

* HD maps are very cheap to create.

* Lidars may in fact be cheaper than the GPU you're going to need to run your monocular depth network, while being more accurate and more robust.
What lead? The main advantage of Tesla is that they have the guts to put beta quality software in cars and get away with it (from a regulatory perspective) up to now.

As can be witnessed in loads of videos on YouTube, the current FSD betas still pretty much require full attention (I would say even more attention than driving youself because you have to watch the environment AND the behaviour of Autopilot). And these demos are on American roads which are among the easiest to drive in the world (generally very wide, lots of traffic lights, large intersections, etc.).

Bad weather conditons (which are a thing outside of southern California) are even more problematic. So while the tech might or might not be more advanced than what other car companies have in their labs, reliably its still pretty much an improved cruise control and in that regard not that far ahead of the competition (all premium brands have that in one way or the other).
Bitcoin won't get banned because an increasing number of local governments find it useful. This movement will resemble marijuana legalization if the federal government ignores what the people want.

I share your view on category theory and perhaps lattice theory as well. What I was trying to say is that before you can draw that analogy, regardless of what "shape" means to you , you have to construct the base shape.

Analogy to me comes after you have stabilized "shapes" where you can draw comparison between a new input a set of stable patterns at which point you can point out the analogy.
Syllogism may be closely related/involved.

I am not disputing that being able to draw parallels and employ analogies are related to intelligence. I am just not so sure that this is how you can synthesize intelligence. It is all very complex of course, and there is a school of thought that cognition is very closely related to sensory and embodiment (i.e.: embodied cognition ).

I think Aubrey de grey switched from AI to longevity because he figured he will need a long life to understand intelligence :)

Personally, I am still working on it but had adjusted the scope a bit.
Human brains are massively more powerful per watt and trained for years to respond to visual stimuli.
Has the author done any serious work in computer vision? Imagenet is one thing, but there are many many problems that need to be solved before a vision-based vehicle can run reliably. I worked at a self-driving company for a while, and they struggled with issues like multiple target tracking and reasoning about occluded vehicles.

And in a sense, vision is the easy part. There are whole areas like prediction and motion planning where the current state of the art isn't really up to scratch.
