I've always thought that the stablecoins could/would be the downfall of crypto. Seems that people have swept these issues under the rug due to some inconvenient truths. With the reliance on stablecoins, crypto seems to just be repeating the same mistakes and issues that traditional finance already solved.

This passage:

Is a huge red flag to me on where the ecosystem could be going...
Stripe, another payment company, has salaries starting at 130k euros in EU
Rocky Linux seems to have made a bigger deal of getting and advertising sponsors than I remember from CentOS. CentOS had a subtle link to donate, but that was it. Right off the bat, Rocky Linux had a nicer looking landing page and BIG sponsor logos. And I would absolutely have thrown $100 at CentOS to keep existing, it just never occurred to me that it was needed or would make a difference.

It's not the I just want something for nothing. I'll pay for good tools, but my time is money too and if I feel myself going down a high-touch sales process with stuff that feels like lock-in and DRM, I'm gonna check out and go for an alternative pretty quick. I used CentOS all the time because I was in the position of trying to support people running my software on Red Hat. And I never had to worry about talking to a sales person, or making sure my keys for the repository were everywhere they needed to be. I would have still used it, even if I had to enter my personal credit card to get an official ISO. Even once my company had a proper agreement and partnership with Red Hat, it was still a pain for me to get a system up and running without talking to IT, etc.

Red Hat seems to have lighter-weight licensing for such use cases now, so we'll see. But at this point I've already switched over to Ubuntu and I doubt Red Hat or Red Hat clones will ever fully recover to their former glory.

Sound's like they have a winning formula if Facebook is any indication of successful tech.
It requires both the writer and the reader to put in the work. No amount of effort by the writer will be able to bring around an editor who says, in effect, "This doesn't appeal to me and it won't sell to white audiences."

It's a business decision to only publish books for the majority of readers. The editor isn't obligated to take books they can't sell. But that editor has to take responsibility for recognizing that they might as well put a sign on the door that says "white writers (and/or people willing to cater to the prejudices of white audiences) only".

I don't mean this to just point at them and say "racist". That's too easy. It's a much more challenging situation where nobody has to be robes-and-torches racist but everything is harder for some people than others and it's never the fault of anybody you can point to.

One way out of it is for editors to put down that particular shield and say, "I don't always have to connect to the characters. There are other ways to appreciate the book, and sometimes audiences like it." Shakespeare is wildly successful despite having few characters you can actually connect to. "Connection" is overrated.

What's not overrated is good writing, which is harder to do and harder to pin down. We ultimately rely on editors to recognize it because they're the gatekeepers, and that puts responsibility on them.
Did your lane split into two and it took the left one? What do you think caused it to do what it did?

Honestly, we have nothing to be insecure about. Those other ones may be longer, but the proportions are just wrong.
Let us all take a moment to acknowledge the author's choice in deliberately titling the post "non-optimizing"
They're disabling some functions due to the switch and promising to bring them back with an update. So that's really a fix for something that isn't working anymore.

If those features are important to you, it makes sense to wait for the update to be released before you buy.

Don't trust a Tesla promise, wait for the feature to be there in reality. It took them a very long time to make the promised automatic wipers work last time...
Let’s encrypt came way way late to the party. We had been banging the drum for 20 years by then.
Ah ha, someone did use `stg publish`!

I removed it because it was challenging to test and maintain, its semantics are somewhat complex, and it wasn't clear that it provided value to anyone.

If you wouldn't mind making your case on the issue tracker [1], I will reconsider the fate of `stg publish`.

The 'good' news is that nature is mostly self-regulating. It will be more than happy to cull our numbers until we reach something approaching sustainability (or much lower than that). Climate change per se won't kill you, but other humans competing for the same space or resource most certainly will and that's how it has been since forever.

The last couple of hundred years are an anomaly but this exponential increase simply can not go on without running headlong into some kind of wall, be it our effect on the environment, resource starvation, lack of space (in a way also a resource) and so on.
Well it's still a "beta" feature, so according to Tesla you shouldn't have trusted it in the first place.
I always preferred the "Open Your Eyes" on the side of the old naval base in the Bywater.
To be fair, there were 30 new papers published:

Not Persian mythos (which is an endless fountain of joy), but I recently stumbled upon an Ur-source of Ancient Greek transmission to Modern Europe: Ibn Tufail's Improvement of Human Reason.

I believe those are two different things.

Tesla says that software update will be provided in the future that will enable these features using vision cameras (previously radar was used).

NHTSA certified the radar solution and it didn't certified whether the vision one is as safe.
This sort of rule language you can put in configs is often useful. They tend to eventually cause problems as logic that should have been implemented properly gets embedded in the mini language and the little rules get more and more complicated (or even auto-generated from a simpler specification), but they are invaluable while they do work.

One thing that surprised me was the inclusion of map/reduce/cat. Allowing these operators can make runtime exponential in the size of the program. I feel like that is against the spirit of the language.
I feel the same way. I don't like unexplained downvotes. Most of the time I feel that it's a product of someone misinterpreting a statement. If they had left a reply, then it's possible we could see each other's points of view in a respectful manner. I guess it's just easier to downvote and more on though.

The only thing I think I feel differently about is that I dont feel panic. I feel crushed sometimes. I work a job where my opinion means nothing. My wife doesn't care for my opinions or even to discuss many topics. So if it's been a rough day at work or home, it kills me to see people just downvote without a conversation. I guess the important thing to remember is that none of our opinions really matter, just look at the state of political representation.
Anybody who uses Autopilot deserves to crash. If I am ever in a wreck with somebody who was autopilotting I will probably take out my concealed handgun and execute them on the spot.

EDIT: Downvoted, but I'm totally serious. If you're going to let your robot assault me, I'm going to execute you.
It's not just about injury after the birth. It's about injury during the birth.

As soon as the baby and placenta are out, it's too late to avoid injury during childbirth. It is no longer possible to let pain be guidance for minimization of injury. The chance was missed.
It does! It goes beyond simply enumerating objects and can describe their properties or context as well -- for example, it'll describe a husky as "a black and white dog lying on a wooden floor", or a soft drink as "a transparent cup with brown liquid in it".

VoiceOver also works with another accessibility tool called Magnifier, allowing it to be used as a general "what am I looking at" tool.
That terrifying as hell. I'm sure a lot of people have died/had life changing injuries that were in that same situation :(
This is it, period. You make a new vehicle, you have to go through the certification again, common sense tbh.
The better candidate is spending more on the evaluation.

E.g, for my company's twice-yearly evaluation, everybody writes up a short report on the most impactful stuff they've done including evidence, this is evaluated by their manager to give a score, and then there's a series of group meetings between managers to make sure that the scores are calibrated, including looking at all types of metrics that can be dug up and comparing to our written role descriptions for different levels. It takes a lot of time but creates fair scores.

This is extremely labor intensive, but that's the thing: To create anything resembling fair evaluation of a large group of people that do a large set of different things, you need to do things that are labor intensive. Using a simple set of metrics don't cut it.
If you are in the Bay Area, I think I know exactly what intersection you are talking about and I'm surprised it hasn't been fix. Someone died in a Model X at that intersection a couple years ago.

Shh. Show the calculations that back this insane theory up, or put a sock in it.
I don't understand why they represent it as a object with a single key, whose value is an array:

- If it's an object, then nothing is going to enforce there only being one key.

- If it's a unary operator, then the value doesn't need to be wrapped in an array, but then how does it distinguish between an unary operator, whose operand is an array, vs. an n-ary operator?

Both of these problems would be solved by having each clause be an array, with the first value being the operator, and the rest of the operands being the parameters. That way having multiple operators isn't even syntactically possible, and having multiple operands is just as simple as the unary operand case.

Sometime between March 2021 and May 2021 (today), Tesla has deleted this blogpost. The above link is now a dead-link. I've included the original blogpost from archive.org in my earlier post, so that you can see the original content.

My expectation is for Tesla to be honest about their history, and not be ones who delete inconvenient blogposts years later. This selective picking-and-choosing of historical posts is immediately suspect, and extremely damaging to the reputation of the Tesla blog.

In any case, the _timing_ of this deletion event tells us everything. Tesla only recently began thinking about Tesla Vision seriously, which provides evidence that this is a temporary supply chain issue, as opposed to a forward looking technological innovation.
You left out the most important action: vote for people who want to deal with the problem. Individual action is nice and all, but this is a problem that is caused collectively and needs to be dealt with collectively.
That meme is not backed up by the statistics. Childhood mortality has fallen all across the planet.

For example in Somalia only 12% of children will die before age 5:

https://knoema.com/atlas/Somalia/Child-mortality-rate#:~:tex....

Thus for the average woman in Somalia with 6 children, statistically, none of her children will actually die.

If childhood mortality was such a major issue, then the population would be stable - instead of doubling every two decades.

Childhood mortality is also likely to be worsened by having multiple children, since it reduces the number of resources available per child.
IMHO coding logic in JSON is similar to puzzle game. I would recommend to use jq instead.
This looks absolutely fantastic!

Is there any chance to build in SQL (specifically, Postgres) commands similar to how Supabase does into the UI? (I should also mention, this looks perhaps even better than Supabase and easier to get up and running on your own system!). The built in REST and GraphQL API points are beautiful.

Looking forward to using this!
Multiple cameras don’t equate to stereo though. As I understand it, the Tesla cameras have too little overlap and the distortion is too great to do proper stereo - it’s 100% monocular depth estimation.
I just don't use Autopilot. It feels so unsafe, maybe that is showing my age but I feel like I'm on a rollercoaster without tracks when I engage it.

It's totally fine, I didn't buy the car for Autopilot, I just wanted a nice efficient car, which it is.
FYI Tesla has already told regulators that it won't be able to deliver FSD by the end of 2021, which it had earlier committed to. If you are still holding your breath on it, it's probably time to give it up.
Looking at all your comments in this thread and you really don't know what you are talking about. Just spreading FUD.

RHEL7 is the upstream for AL2 and there is a LOT of heavy lifting done by AWS. Newer kernel, newer toolchain, newer glibc. They do live patching. They actually test all sorts of workloads before even a minor errata update. They took OpenSSL 1.0.2 through FIPS validation with NIST.

Just stop talking.
It's not as if "Person or group B are also objectively arseholes!" logically invalidates "Person or group A are objectively arseholes", is it?
To be brutally honest, it tests people's patience when someone posts trollish, curt, unsupported comments like "it's not accelerating here at place X" when a specific location is clearly not at issue, out of context, and out of perspective of the global problem. Then we end up down a rathole dispelling the stink around another unnecessary distraction which is clearly motivated by nothing but muddying the waters. It's just obfuscation and FUD, frankly. Sorry that it's uncomfortable when you're called out on it.
My understanding from my readings in the field of mythology is that the parent post is precisely correct: Campbell was an enthusiastic amateur who did a whole bunch of cherry-picking to suit his passionate holding-forth on the topics, but without systematic study.

If he was alive today, he (still) wouldn't be a PhD, but he'd have a YT channel, a vigorously active twitter page, and maybe have penned a couple of D&D modules.
Yes it's telling that the people who are spreading all the worst of the climate FUD are the same people who want to provide the solutions or be in power. Fear is always an effective strategy to push political change. That's a big part of what is going on here.
I assumed they were subtly making fun of the editor and/or sponsors.

While the co2 levels and temps have been higher in the past, rate of change is the most important factor here. You incorrectly assess the risk by ignoring the fact that it took tens of thousands of years to move those numbers.

The problem is that most of our food chain is going to have major issues adapting at a speed that matches the rate of change. Pesticides and chemicals are certainly problematic as well, but moving the global needle so much over a 100-250 year timeline is a huge issue.
I usually use left/right flicks for screens I haven't interacted with before, but I use taps to find elements I use often, particularly when they're easy to find. I sometimes use a mixture of both, i.e. tapping somewhere near the bottom of the screen to focus on the tab bar, then flicking left or right to find the right tab.
I think 3 and 5 are the problematic variables there, not SF.
I'm confused. If a new left-only turn lane was added, wouldn't it have steered you into that new lane? How did it steer you into oncoming traffic?
Waukesha?

It's actually an interesting regional issue, because the allocation of Great Lakes water is ultimately governed by a treaty with Canada. Taking water out of the Great Lakes watershed is prohibited without being granted by an exception.

This became a local issue in Waukesha, because the town is on the boundary, so they have two water systems, and the one on the Mississippi side got contaminated. They eventually got permission to connect the whole town to the Lake Michigan side, by agreeing to return all of the drain water back to that side.
>"I haven't engaged autopilot since then"

Good choice, personally I can't imagine myself using "Autopilot" in a first place.
It’s radar, not lidar, and the point is that Tesla thought the post was contradictory enough to remove it, while all the other content from 2016 is still there.
No you did not read that correctly. There is no indication whether Tesla is going to remove the feature from existing cars or not.
The story alleged it were Phoenicians, not Egyptians, who sailed. And those were the best sailors at that time.
Hopefully this will start to go away soon. I learned recently that Chrome 90 (released April 2021) replaced :focus with :focus-visible in the default UA style sheet, so the focus ring will only show when using the keyboard now.

It's true - I use those comments to provide detailed explanations, which I often link back to. They're sort of the case law of HN moderation. It's my intention to someday compile them into some sort of compendium of moderation heuristics or something...not sure yet what that should look like.
Rebol and is rebirth Red, is a very concise and powerful language. They are well funded, and will be a force to reckon with going forward. I would say the languages are very different in the sense that Beads is clearly aimed at graphical interactive software, with a layout/drawing/event model built into the language, while Red exists as a systems programming language, a variant customized for building crypto contracts, and then as a general purpose language.

They are so different that it is hard to compare. Red being a concatenative language has more in common with FORTH than Algol.

The closest thing to Beads is Elm, or visual javascript (was called Yazz)

I second this statement.

Russian Folk Belief by Ivanits is a good one.
What's terrible about truthy and falsy? How do you even have a language without a definition of what is truthy and what is falsy?
Ah okay, your comment sounded like someone claimed it would fix the problem - but the article didn't say that - so I don't quite know who you were referring to!! In any case, no biggie. :)
Out of curiosity, why the downvotes?
>What is really the meaningful difference between this and an s-expression language?

Turing completeness.

I'd argue they should have paid more attention in college. This is far from a superficial difference.

You might as well call HTML a programming language. Seriously.
It might be the case, and if it is it means that in the worst case, you'd still have 10%, which is more than the nothing that a 100% speculative asset has.
I've been using a very messy compilation of too-frequently-abandoned tools from Github for things like this and slowly applying local patches to them if/when they break and if I can even determine what the problem is. Primarily to scrub my Reddit and Twitter histories every so often.

So this is absolutely something I'll be using.

One thing I noticed immediately is that "DeviantArt" is not listed as "Coming Soon" on the web page but is not currently available in the desktop Electron app.

One feature I would like to see is a Whitelist for Subreddits. I currently remove all of my posts except posts in a subreddit where 99% of my posts are Help/Q&A posts that I want to be able to benefit future people. However I want to delete all my other posts, which means knowing which subreddits I've posted in which is not always easy since I sometimes land on things from /r/All. (eg: "Delete all posts except on /r/Granblue_En") For now I had to manually add a list of 56~ subreddits one by one that I got from my log.

E2: One of the team members (Dan) responded to me over Discord. My requested feature was already on the ToDo list since they have a similar use case.
This is published on tor.com. Tor is a publisher of SF/F books. The author wrote an SF/F book for Flatiron Books, a publisher with the same parent company, Macmillan. So clearly this article is part of her book's marketing.
Assembling kits other people manufactured is not manufacturing - that's assembly.

If you don't need it to do a lot of work, a cheap used cnc is incredibly cheap. You can easily get a decent one for under 30k and if you can wait for a deal you can probably snag something for under 10. Lathes are even cheaper. They're easily the most accessible machine tools.

I used to work for a tool and die shop. It took us weeks from when we quoted a job to when it would ship and people came to us because of how fast we were. I don't know where in the world you're getting same day molds and dies, but that's not normal at all.
You're writing out the concretization by hand. Generics as a language feature are much more complicated than their concretizations, which is my point. Generics are to their concretizations as "-e^(iπ)" is to "1".

Check out the audio books. The narrator, Jefferson Mays, does a masterful job at patois/Belter-speak, along with all the other character for that matter.

I suspect the Expanse series used his work as inspiration, since the patois is virtually identical on the show. Mays is in a league of his own. [0]
