This is a long standing problem - it applied to microcontrollers 2 decades ago as well. There are people trying to solve this problem - have you seen IceStorm for Lattice for example: http://www.clifford.at/icestorm/

Fortunately microprocessors these days are supported by lots of toolchains, so let's hope FPGAs will get there too.
Ask HN: What are some methods to encourage people to move to Signal
A lot of people in my country and especially my friend circle use WhatsApp, where I've witnessed them become addicted to the app because of its status feature. Also I have noticed that my friends admit to being addicted to WhatsApp (because of the 24 hours status thing) and they want to switch but say that since other people only use WhatsApp its hard for them to switch.
I seriously think that if the car is about to take off by itself unexpected, then it would be a bad idea to get out of it.
IANAL but I’m pretty sure that’s not how it works. A judge won’t throw out evidence just because a tool doesn’t “adhere to application security best practices”. They’ll need to be convinced that the specific evidence they’re reviewing is compromised or unreliable.

My only complaint in this otherwise entertaining and informative read was the politics...

For the record, the rioters weren’t seditionists (no charges anyways), nor were most (all) fascists (they were pro constitution), nor did they intend to overthrow the government (they wanted a election fraud looked into as they believe there was a coup via ballot stuffing) - not justifying actions or agreeing FYI. Just correcting the record.

And two I believe moxie said why he hacked them? Wasn’t it because they said they could get signal messages?

> I also don’t like seditious fascists, and I think the people who tried to violently overthrow our democratically-elected government should be caught and held accountable. And the timing of this blog post kinda makes it look like Moxie — who is famously an anarchist — is giving the fascists ammunition in their legal cases to try to get off the hook. As said, I don’t think it’ll work, and even fascists deserve due process and not to be convicted on the basis of bug-riddled spy machines, but it’s helpful to them nonetheless.
Can we be real for a minute here? Please?

I've been around the internet controversy block a few times over as many decades, and I really feel like there's a missing piece of the puzzle after reading the article. In particular, I'm only aware of three fundamental reasons for a major web platform to enact such a broad ban on lewdness:

1) Payment processors don't like it

2) Advertisers don't like it

3) Some government with jurisdiction over a desired market doesn't like it

Yet none of these are mentioned in the article. There are just some laughable platitudes about "safety". Just to be abundantly clear, we're talking about a ban that was obviously very carefully crafted to cover female but not male pokies. I think its safe to say that this is not based on some high-minded principle. So can anyone seriously explain what the hell is going on?
Not OP. This is not necessarily the friendliest or best place to start, but in terms of hardware costs it's great: the ST-Micro P-NUCLEO-IHM001:

https://www.st.com/en/evaluation-tools/p-nucleo-ihm001.html

For $35 you get a little motor, a motor control board, and an ARM micro-controller board. ST includes some software for motor control. If you want to do precision motor control, out of the box it is missing an encoder (a device that tells you the position of the motor). The STM32 chips usually have some inputs you can use with a quadrature encoder, so you could add one if you needed to. It does include a current sensor and the software uses the for field-oriented control (FOC), so you can efficiently and smoothly control the speed of the motor. To learn more about motor commutation and FOC, check out this document:

There is a standard for the various road conditions that are out there -- the MUTCD ("Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices") -- and there's a fairly large chapter on temporary lane closure/construction zones.

This setup wasn't completely MUTCD compliant, but, there are also some states with their own, state-specific editions of the MUTCD.
Cellebrite sells their hardware to lots of non-LEO, including corporate security, law firms, private investigators and regimes that have no respect for human rights. Cellebrite's UFED hardware even shows up on eBay and other online sales platforms.

If someone has a Cellebrite, they do not necessarily have a lawful right to access. Could just be a $16/hr Pinkerton (a wholly owned subsidiary of Securitas) using UFED on a phone they stole from an employee or contractor of the organization they contract with.
I read somewhere that an ML model could detect cancerous tumors, but it was keying off the ruler used to measure tumor size.

Men and women just on average look for different things.

The reality is that young women are more attractive to men, with youthful looks, an innocence and potentially more submissive.

Conversely older men tend to be more emotionally mature and financely independent, which women find more attractive.

Women start with it all from an attraction point of view and men start with nothing.

Of course people might not like this or have different tastes but in general it seems to be true. I also think there is nothing wrong with these or any other choices of attraction.
It had a Turbo button and we made sure it was always on. As to what it did, none of us really knew. But it was on, and there was a problem if it was off. So even if it wasn't connected to anything inside the beige tower it still made things better.
The remote operator wasn't "unjamming" the vehicle FYI. Rather the car kept trying to unstuck itself until the in person operator unlocked the car doors.

IMO it's more concerning that the vehicle keeps trying after it gets into a "call roadside assistance" mode rather than staying still or allowing the remote operator to assume manual control (say to move the vehicle out of the lane).

The lobster roll is really delicious.

I’m sure you’re aware you had New England clam chowder, And that there’s also Manhattan clam chowder. But few folks know there’s also a Hatteras clam chowder. It’s made with a broth and the taste of clams really comes through a lot better than with the cream or tomato based variants.

https://blog.carolinadesigns.com/outer-banks-food/hatteras-i...

(And now that I’ve worked my way to the Carolinas… if you’ve never had shrimp and grits, look it up. Yum.)

p.s. as good as lobster is, stone crab is even better.
I'd love to hear more about his. I've got some space that would be way more usable with retaining walls but the cost of concrete block deters me.
Don't do much JS, but this is actually what makes me the most sad. My formative programming years were during an era where there were many competing technologies on most given platforms.

Now days, if I do mobile iOS, I have to do Swift, Kotlin for Android, and as you say JS for browsers. I wish we lived in a world where the platform didn't design the stack so much.
This is speculating about the motives of a nebulous class of other people. It also doesn't provide any evidence.
One exec I served under - whom was both feared and loathed by peers and underlings - had one quality that I quite admired: no matter how busy he was if I needed his input on an urgent issue the moment I sat down in his office I had his undivided attention.

He didn't double-task and constantly check his computer, phone or read/sign papers. I had his full attention while I was there.

It's an attribute that stuck with me.
I'm curious if booby-trap laws would have anything to say about this. If I can distill the arguments down to my (completely abstract) understanding:

1) Cellebrite has to interface with software to do extract data.
2) Signal is the software in some scenarios.
3) Signal can alter itself so that if Cellebrite interfaces with it, Cellebrite breaks.
4) If Cellebrite doesn't interface with Signal, Cellebrite is fine, Signal is fine, and no one is hacked.

If I trespass on someone's property, and they have a booby trap that blows my leg off, I believe in most US jurisdictions, I can take them to court and have a good chance of winning.

Isn't this the same type of thing?

On the other hand. If I have a guard dog, and a bunch of "Beware of Dog" signs, and someone trespasses on my property, and the dog attacks them, I don't believe I'm liable. So by publishing this information, has Signal avoided the important nuance of being a trap?
Right, but then we'd have to add a checkbox to accept or deny groups that exhibit high levels of relationship drama.

Personally though ... hard pass.
What amuses me in all these articles is that they never acknowledge that most humans are incapable of full level five driving.

There are a ton of situations where humans fail at driving too. Like white out snow or heavy rain and fog. Or confusing cones. :)
I remember reading about a drug study where people were given a drug for <something> (I don't recall) and people started dying of heart attacks.

Turns out it was curing the <something>, but the next thing the population would statistically die of was: heart attacks.
Is there something like DefinitelyTyped for Python? TypeScript only became useful once the ecosystem reached a critical mass of type definitions available for popular libraries.

At the moment the Python community seems pretty anti-static-types, and the core scientific libraries (numpy, matplotlib, pytorch) don't export type signatures. Language server / intellisense support for type inference also has a long way to go.
I saw those parts, but my overall impression was that the author thought Signal was foolish to write up their adventure and they shouldn’t have done it (while conceding that Cellebrite aren’t angels).

I also disagree with the notion that it’s good that Cellebrite exists because without them we’d have stronger anti-encryption laws. That’s hypothetical and all we know is what we have today. I’m not thrilled that someone is peeing on my basement carpet instead of peeing in my living room; I’d rather not have someone peeing on any of my rugs.
Cellebrite sells their hardware to corporate security, law firms, private investigators and despotic regimes and their UFED hardware even shows up on eBay and other platforms for the general public to buy at times.

LEOs are far from the only buyers of this hardware, a good chunk of Cellebrites userbase operate extrajudically and do not have a lawful right to attempt to access the contents of phones they use UFED on.
Young women are more attractive because, through evolutionary selection, men find fertile women more attractive. Genes which caused men to find unfertile women more attractive quickly died out.
FPGAs just allow you to remove a layer or two of abstraction and corresponding latency (vs a CPU) where you don't want/can't have it and gives you control, speed and/or efficiency improvements in exchange. The price you pay is you're dealing with things at a much lower level (i.e. bits and wires)... if you don't need the trade-off, don't make it. They are for the situations where there is no off-the-shelf solution that quite solves your particular problem adequately.
It would be interesting to see how humanity would react if that were true. If people had to worry about their actions now causing consequences later for themselves and not just other people's children, I'd imagine we wouldn't be polluting our planet so much. Maybe it would also cause us to take expanding civilisation beyond earth a lot more seriously. Or maybe it would just make wars more vicious. It wouldn't be enough to control other countries, the goal would be extermination to make room for children.

Agreed! I’d like to see it tested in court. Tools used in the justice process must be held in the highest regard considering someone’s freedom hangs in the balance.

The courts forced a breathalyzer manufacturer to release their source code, so there is precedent for critical review of such tools.

What does it mean to be an African? Is there unifying culture of all of Africa? Like when I say I am an American, I don't mean the continent, I am talking about living in the US, but when someone calls themselves an African, what can I glean from that other than they live on a large, heterogenous continent?

No, you introduced the question of innovation, which was never contained in my statement. Now you are limiting the statement to a comparison with England proper (for they did in fact suppress the right in their colonies), which was also never in my statement, even implicitly. These are called strawmen.

How was France doing with TbJ? How about Japan? China? Russia? Shall we go through the list of countries in the late 18th century to do this by hand? Tally them up and see how many had a guaranteed right to TbJ for criminal offenses by their citizens?

No, the statement I made holds, and you’ll find that by looking at how other countries adjudicated criminal offenses at the time (not just England). Guaranteed TbJ was the exception, not the rule.

It depends on the implementation details. Comcasts implementation had a separate wifi chip that was separate from the customer wifi network for its network. I remember reading some years ago some hackers managed to spoof its Mac Address to double their bandwidth with interface bonding...

But the supremacy clause (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supremacy_Clause) prevents state laws from preempting federal laws, including the constitution.
Just want to clarify that that is the "future", not the present. And just because cold and flu are minor inconveniences to you, doesn't mean that they aren't very dangerous for people with weak immune systems. And on top of that mRNA is very targeted, it's not something that carpet bombs your body like radiotherapy.
HN is more analogous to a town square than a community. People stop by to see what's new, do some window shopping, interact with others a little bit (maybe start a fight!) and then get on with their lives. Very few people get to know one another through HN, I would imagine fewer still end up forging friendships.

It sounds like you are looking for something more like a club or at least an informal social group. The online equivalent to these are web forums and chat rooms. There are loads of these and they tend to fly under the radar. I have handful of hobbies and the best communities for these are _well_ outside the borders of the mainstream social media sites. They're frequented (mostly) by people who are friendly, knowledgeable, and generous with their time and advice, which is not something you typically see on facebook, twitter, reddit, etc. They're not secret or hidden, but you do have to go out of your way to find them.

"Civil discussion of progressive ideas" sounds like you want to discuss politics, which I can assure you never ends civilly! But if that's really what you're after, you should not have to go very far to find plenty or venues for that online.

Past life I have deployed high density WiFi networks. Most likely they will have a dedicated access point pointing toward the ump. With a proper channel plan I don’t see why there would be any issues. And it looks like they did switch to wired headphones luckily. 2.4 is a mess in high density environment.
The wealthy are very supportive of higher tax on EARNED WAGES. Why? Because they don't make money through earned income. They make it through capital gains, which is taxed much less than wage tax. Wage tax increases at best affect the working rich like doctors, lawyers, Oracle employees making all cash, etc. Just look at the reactions to Biden's proposal to raise capital gains taxes to 40%+ above a certain threshold. The wealthy are up in arms, which is why it won't happen. Wage tax is a great system for the wealthy, because they look humanitarian in their support of higher taxes to fund welfare programs while not actually being affected by such increases. And the general public largely knows no different because they lack basic personal finance knowledge.
I've also been doing web development on essentially a daily basis since the 1990s.

I got pretty tired of chasing the fad explosion. Here's what I build everything with these days:

HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Go or PHP, Redis, MySQL or Postgres, Ubuntu & Nginx. Occasionally I'll make use of an ancient version of Sphinx for easy, fast search. I also sometimes mess with Vue for fun, as I happen to be fond of it, but I never find that I need it.

No frameworks. No containers. It's all mostly boring and ancient. I use DigitalOcean for about 95% of everything hosting wise (and rarely AWS). Works beautifully, everything is simple, blazing fast, light on bloat and rock solid.

The simplicity is still out there, if you don't have to care about what anybody else thinks, if you're not trying to earn a living doing web development (everything I work on is self-determined). That's a big if unfortunately. If you are trying to earn a living doing web development it's understood that chasing the latest thing isn't optional, as you can't afford to miss an inflection.
This is of course true in a very general sense, but both men and women can radically up their game if they genuinely care to and are halfway-smart about it. There are lots of things about how to relate to others in a friendly and self-assertive wrt. sexuality that society does a very bad job of teaching the general public about, and that can make a real difference.
WhatsApp is not the problem here.
Ahh ... OK, I wasn't thinking clearly. I forgot about the lack of ventilators and was only thinking of the lack of oxygen recently reported in the news.
You are describing features available on a small minority of aircraft with autopilot features. The vast majority of aviation autopilot systems only control heading and basic flight stability.

Literally the opening paragraph of Wikipedia:

”An autopilot is a system used to control the trajectory of an aircraft, marine craft or spacecraft without requiring constant manual control by a human operator. Autopilots do not replace human operators. Instead, the autopilot assists the operator's control of the vehicle, allowing the operator to focus on broader aspects of operations (for example, monitoring the trajectory, weather and on-board systems).”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autopilot
They say that as a standard answer. Will be much faster. First dose is gonna be done in June at the current speed.
From the response, that's what it sounded like the remote support person was expected to have done. From watching the video, it appeared that the remote assistance was hitting some sort of "reset/retry" option when they should have been hitting the "unlock/turn off" option.

That'd perfectly explain why the car would suddenly start trying stuff again once the roadside crew got close (and why it kept cancelling the roadside call).
I know I shouldn't laugh and it's a serious issue to be committing these crimes, but that article is hilarious.

Is this what aristocrats would once call "new money"?
Caveat on 3):

The only real benefit of an FPGA for algorithms is when you're algorithm benefits from parallelization.

There is nothing intrinsically faster in programmable logic.

The point is that execution is truly concurrent, as long as you have space in the FPGA fabric, you can _almost_ do everything at the same time.

I say this as someone who has done a fair share of FPGA projects, it is very difficult to make the business case for an FPGA, if your problem can be solved with GPU programming on a COTS GPU.

Regardless of whatever you read, FPGA's do have a purpose but will most likely continue to only be used in niche/custom applications.
I wouldn't find a website where professional lawyers opine on startups and programming especially compelling.

I don't find HN threads where tech folk opine on what their opinion of how the law should be interpreted to be especially compelling either.

This is especially true here where I note that the author of the post folks are commenting on has an incredibly notable credentials and frankly it's somewhat ridiculous for lay-folk to be arguing with someone with such bone fides:

Riana [Pfefferkorn] was the Associate Director of Surveillance and Cybersecurity at the Stanford Center for Internet and Society. Prior to joining Stanford, Riana was an associate in the Internet Strategy & Litigation group at the law firm of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, where she worked on litigation and counseling matters involving online privacy, Internet intermediary liability, consumer protection, copyright, trademark, and trade secrets and was actively involved in the firm's pro bono program. Before that, Riana clerked for the Honorable Bruce J. McGiverin of the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico. She also interned during law school for the Honorable Stephen Reinhardt of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Riana earned her law degree from the University of Washington School of Law and her undergraduate degree from Whitman College."

I'm currently building a cross platform app with vue, framework7 & capacitor and it feels like a superpower.

I learnt vue in a weekend and the framework7 generator generated a boilerplate app for me. I used react years ago but this stack seems far easier and faster to develop in.
As I explained in another post, originally the consensus was that only N95 masks were somewhat effective. There were no studies on the effectiveness of other masks.

Recommending people use masks could've given people a false sense of security in people and probably acted against more effective measures such as social distancing and self-quarantining of people with symptoms matching those of Covid-19 ('well, I know I have a cough, but I'll just wear a mask and it'll be fine').

Recommending people use the only masks we knew to somewhat work - N95s - would've created a huge problem for hospitals that already were having issues procuring PPE to protect the professionals who were dealing with Covid-19 patients.

Basically, there was no reason for the CDC to recommend masks. Again, there's no need for some nefarious explanation.
