Agreed. Even if they somehow had autopilot enabled, they defeated multiple safety measure to do it like the steering wheel weight and sitting on the buckled seat belt.
Sure it's an open ISA with some advantages but if I was going to have an undergrad design a small processor in a single semester I'd certainly go with RISC-V just because it's so simple and regular. And likewise with a simple out of order processor for a grad student or senior project.

And then there' the design for extensibility and only implement what you need that makes RISC-V appealing in the embedded space even apart from being free to use.
I would recommend watching also Dennou Coil - it seems to me like similarly prescient description of how advanced Augmented Reality might look like - where you are in a physical world but can't be sure anymore that what you see is physically here or was added (or altered!) by the undistinguishable AR overlay.
e-RMB would let them send out money as stimulus to individuals without needed to count it as money creation publicly. The Chinese will have an unfair advantage with money printing without hitting the value of the currency. The US cash payments to individuals has had a huge positive effect on our own economy and now China can do the same but hidden from view. China could take and send payments to Iran and North Korea outside the traditional payments system. Everything will be hidden from view.
an RSS feed would be super great.
Great website, you seemed to have worked hard on it.

Some feedback if you don't mind it.

1. How about moving the domain of the article posted beside the post title (like HN)? This maintains the flow of reading. I read the post title and then I can see the source of the article on it's right.

2. You seem to have a separate URL for each post ( EG: https://autonews.io/article/99522953-788c-446f-a706-cd26e2c3...) but I couldn't find any way of accessing an individual post's URL from the front page. Had to dig into the HTML. Maybe clicking on the timestamp copies the post link or takes you to the individual post's URL?

3. Dark mode toggle is very confusing (https://i.imgur.com/V0MrNlA.png). Don't switch the icon after each toggle. Put an icon (indicating dark or light mode) outside the toggle and then let users change based on that (https://i.imgur.com/1wyE6si.png) .

4. Don't automatically open links in a new tab. HN doesn't do that. Let users ctrl+click if they want to open it in new tab if they want to.
> J2 is a nommu processor because sh2 (the processor in the Sega Saturn game console) was, and the last sh2 patent expired in October 2014. The sh4 processor (dreamcast) has an mmu, but the last sh4 patents don't exire until 2016. (Update: we're probably implementing a simpler MMU design which will run the same userspace software but require kernel and QEMU updates, which we'll submit upstream when ready.)

Seems like it was in the pipeline, and still should be easier to add an MMU to a fully-fleshed system than create a whole new ISA. For that matter, there are plenty of RISC-V implementations without MMUs, aren't there? So they should be exactly the same.

The 64-bit thing I'll give you, although it isn't obvious to me how much that would matter for most places where people are using ARM or RISC-V so far; it limits you to 4G of memory, but in embedded uses (phones, routers, raspberry pi) who cares?
There are two possible explanations I've seen proposed:

1. The obvious. The "driver" turned on autopilot and then hopped into the back seat for a thrill-ride. This is what everyone is talking about, but its not necessarily true.

2. The less obvious. The driver took his passenger for a joyride, lost control of the vehicle in a residential area and then slammed into a tree. Lets call this the "Tiger Woords" theory. The resulting fire damaged the doors and the two people were unable to escape. The driver unbuckles himself and tries to escape through the rear-doors, but those also don't work. As such, both people burn to death in the car.

--------

This isn't *necessarily* an autopilot problem. But this is absolutely a "you crashed and then burned to death" problem. In both #1 and #2, this crash proves that a high-speed collision involving these Li-Ion battery packs could very well result in a fire that's extremely hard to douse.

There's also been numerous complaints about the difficulty of opening Tesla-doors when power is cut. If the batteries are damaged (or on fire), can be be sure that those doors can be opened at all?

How do Tesla's doors perform under a variety of crash situations? Are the manual-override instructions too confusing for typical people (especially during emergencies) ??

See: https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/1rdqte/questio...

Even Tesla fans have difficulty precisely describing the manual override procedure to open up these doors.
If I recall correctly, Perserverence was recording images at roughly 7hz and will be sending them back over the coming days. I don't think they are compressed as video, since perseverance has pretty wimpy main computers and isn't running FFmpeg like they had for the descent videos, which came from a separate system.
Ask HN: Have you ever been catfished in an interview?
What I mean by catfished is the inverse of a candidate lying on their resume, situations where the recruiter, hiring managers, etc engage in material misrepresentation (omitting facts that had you known you never would have agreed to the interview). I don't mean ambiguous poor candidate experiences like getting ghosted by a recruiter or uncalibrated panelists in a dysfunctional loop but coordinated misrepresentation of the position or purpose of the interview itself?

Had a bizarre experience like this recently and what struck me was that the amount of time & resources this must have wasted is a massive signal of systemic toxic dysfunction, I mean I got a full mock loop out of it which is actually a significant value in the interview prep cottage industry and I guess they got some IP from the homework but otherwise what's the point? Seems like the risks to the company far outweigh any possible benefit if there was any.
If I may, allow me give you one unsolicited advice I've been slowly learning through the years:

Most things in life have their downsides and shortcomings. We should strive to minimize the impact of those and instead capitalize on their strengths. Take what good you can from HN and run with it. HN is great in many ways.

Pie in the sky. Any realistic employer reading this plea should be turned off fairly quickly. Typically, it's a red flag when an employee gives an employer ultimatums while already in their employ (e.g., give me a raise of x amount or I will quit). This post is an example of a potential employee giving ultimatums to a future employer before they have even been given a job.

I did something sort of similar. There are limits to what you can do with a side project, and joining a company gets you access to other people with different skill sets from yours.

In my particular case after finding a good fit with a small startup I told the CEO to just pay me as little as he could reasonably justify and make up the rest in equity (which I was fully aware would likely be worthless). In a different framing, I was "spending" my missing salary by "hiring" some people to do the work I wouldn't want to do - pitching deals, forming business relationships, and negotiating contracts to get me the data that I actually wanted to work on.
What is the classic design of automotive? That’s the question to ask IMO.

I think I like the autosubmissions, sometimes it's silly that a story HN will definitely discuss has to be found and submitted by someone. There are certain sites one could arguably auto-submit to HN, though HN is popular enough to just not need it.

Do make it clear which are auto-submitted though.
That's a very good point, and a distinction that I had not thought of before. Maybe it comes down to legality. Homosexuality is not illegal but is racism illegal? Even religiously motivated racism?

To be honest I do wonder what other countries' government do with the data they have gathered on their citizens as well as foreign personnel. I guess it must be that the justice league countries are using those data to protect their citizens and defend human rights across the globe.

That would be absolutely amazing.
I'm not sure what you're getting at - if you agree with me that "independent" is clearer than "agnostic" then what's the problem? I could understand your objection if you felt that the replacement word was somehow less clear, but if it's at least as good or better then why _not_ mandate its use in a style guide?

I get the impression that most of the people who are complaining in the comments here are really getting worked up about some inferred political bias, rather than because they actually disagree with the substance of the style guide.
They also have an economy built upon money laundering, tax avoidance, and other related activities. I've heard many people say that the real reason behind Brexit was to avoid new EU regulations being imposed on British banks.
Somewhat related is how libraries like three.js don't follow semver and only use a single incrementing version number. Reading the changelogs, it also looks like they never make any mistakes. It seems that there has never been a point in three.js's history where there's been a critical security flaw or bug severe enough to justify incrementing the version number solely for a bugfix. I have no idea how they do it.

Personally I would prefer to keep things as simple as possible, but unlike the maintainers of those projects, when it comes to making releases, I'm not perfect.

Ok, but if you're using a password manager with long random passwords, that changes the calculation. The advantage might not be huge at the end of the day, but it's non-zero.

Yeah, I should've been more clear. There's no doubt that humans can't distinguish/memorize 2^256 abstract shapes. However, only a small subset of those would have to be memorized - those which are relevant to the individual. I'd agree that this particular pattern doesn't have enough variability for each pattern to be unique enough to reliably identify it, but I'd conjecture that its possible to make such a pattern, which has enough variability and unique characteristics to be recognizable (ignoring the fact that an adversary could make a very similar pattern to mislead the individual - I'm not curious about it for verification.)

Your example of the fact that we can't reliably recognize every face on this planet is very interesting. Let's imagine we know n faces which I can reliably distinguish from one another, but now there is a (n+1)th face which I mix up with one of the previous ones. Now lets assume this face would instead have a very unique characteristic, unlike all previous faces - lets imagine for example, the nose on this face is upside down. Surely I'd be able to differentiate it from the previous n faces, hence the issue of identifying it might've been the limited variability/characteristics in the various previous instantiations of a face.

So there are a number of characteristics in a face, which have a certain degree of variability, which enable us to distinguish from a number of them. I've been pondering on how many of those characteristics could be combined in an object, and how high the variability could be; to create uniquely identifiable patterns. It probably depends a lot on the meaning we attribute to the pattern, different associations we have to it.

I apologize - quite the tangent, I guess. I've just been pondering a lot on this for a project I've been working on for some time.
I do have a phd in a theoretical quantum optics, so no, I have no idea if such a weird angle will actually work in practice given the physical and budgetary constraints. :-D

Seriously, though, I have idea. We can take two pictures focusing once the near part, and once on the far part.

If cameras are cheap (I haven't researched), maybe two on either end of the device would mitigate the complexity of the lenses required.
VR can help with that. Not with all things as haptic feedback is not not ready yet. But there are people already making gloves with feedback for 50 dollars or so.
Maybe it's running on a low power core?
> You might be able to justify non-compliance with a compensating control, but I've never heard of anyone who tried it.

I just did similarly within a SOC2 audit. I sent the auditors a list of 50+ articles and references i've been maintaining for years saying that password changing is a bad idea (this article is on the list) from many different sources. I never heard back and the item was marked approved by them.
Is there a version of this minus the woke bs?
I guess we need the definition of "reasonable". Something like 20% of Americans believe that they can buy a self driving car today. That's not an accident, that's what Tesla is telling people.

Don't believe me? This video from the FSD beta opens up with the text "The person in the driver's seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself"

At some point, we need to acknowledge that Elon Musk is deceiving his customers, his investors and all the hand-wavey legal bullshit around that is just that...bullshit.

Sometimes you want a discussion of the pros and cons of the various ways to tackle a problem, in order to find the best approach for your application.

This kind of information is almost never in standard documentation.
What news source are you referring to? That doesn't describe most publications, online or offline, such as the NY Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, or the Washington Monthly, where the OP article is published. It doesn't describe many local publications I know of.

Certainly there are some publications that fit the description, but we have many, many alternatives.

Re "better that they be accurate", I figured I'd check it again, since I haven't in a couple years. That led to the following errata, which I will send to Max. I thought I'd share them here too in case people are interested in this level of detail.

> it can be [dead] again at which point it can't be re-vouched

I don't think that's right? Pretty sure it can be re-vouched. I'd have to check the code to be sure.

> the [+x] number on the right

Since changed to [x more], to make it easier to click.

> will usually be at the top of the front page at that time

It would be better to say "on the front page". The "$Person has died" thread is usually at the top for a while, but we leave the black bar up for longer than that.

> the line between technology and politics is blurred

I've written a lot about how we approach this; it might be helpful to point to some of that. I usually direct people to these links first:

> what the front page looks like at any point in time

Not quite - it's a blended view of the front page for a 24-hour period, sort of like a weighted average of a bunch of snapshots. That turns out to be unsatisfyingly hard to get right; different algorithms produce very different blends, and none of them feels like a real front page. You can always look at https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://news.ycombinator.com to see specific snapshots.

In my experience, it is not like that at all. The not having anything to do simply does not happen. What happens is "not being under pressure". But I was always able to find useful stuff to do, not including learning.

I do learning in work time. Learning could be backup for when there is truly nothing to do, like when git is down or something. But those chances are so rare, that I have to learn while there is stuff to do.

If more police _caused_ more crime to occur you would see it quite clearly in in small wealthy suburban communities where over policing is very real (think about places where the police mostly focus on truant high school kids and rich people with domestic disturbances). Rather, police violence is a problem in dangerous high crime areas like the Oakland Bart station, not in undeniably over policed areas like Beverly Hills. As long as a lot of violent crime is reported in these places, politicians will be obligated to have police there to protect the public. Bart without police won’t fly with anyone. You can defund the cops in Beverly Hills, for sure, but that seems counter productive if your concern is police violence. Private security will just move in a soak up those dollars with even less accountability to the public.
Yes, that’s precisely what I am trying to say. With FatRat (aka BigInt) by default then the casual programmer has to know to step explicitly into Num (eg by 1e-1 + 2e-1 which needs a bit of a scientist mindset) or will never benefit from all those lovely FPU transistors.

That's just not true. Ethanol is ketone and is fine for diets like keto. It does not spike insulin.

The problem is that most alcohol isn't regulated the same way food is, and there is often a ton of sugar in it that is not required to be labelled. Beer, for example, has tons of carbs, and Captain Morgan is fulla sugar.

Put another way, if there is enough humidity to work with then there are plants which have evolved to take in that humidity more efficiently than any apparatus.

>> why 12 semitones?

As you noted, other numbers like 19, 43, and obviously also 24, gives interesting ratios.

My current understanding is that while human ear is easily able to distinguish finer frequency ratios, singers aren't able to match vocals to much higher precisions. 19 may perhaps still work, but 43 I think would be out of question.
