Core idea is how can you design a software system that avoids the pitfalls of spinning plate on a stick that requires constant maintenance as the world shifts around it, 'the big ball of mud'.

One way to do this is to design a system where all events of the system can be replayed from start to finish in an immutable/repeatable way. Taking the advantages of state guarantees from functional language design and applying something similar to an entire OS.

You can design something that abstracts this general design away from specific implementations of pieces that interact with the underlying system today (*nix).

This podcast doesn't a decent job of introducing some of the concepts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/understanding-urbit/id...

It's a little hard to summarize in a really short comment because there's a lot of new/first principles thinking that doesn't analogize super cleanly to the existing software stack people are familiar with (which is why it's interesting).

Yeah that's Curtis Yarvin, I think his neo-reactionary politics are wrong [0], but the design and ideas behind urbit are good (and he's no longer directly involved in the project).

Gutting Decades of Architecture to Build a New Kind of Processor
In both cases, the tariffs already figure into the price. Dropshippers are no different, except for having gratuitously higher mark-ups.
You guessed everything right: we run an instance to prerender and cache at the build time and at runtime we query when the query has been changed
Same here. I was dealing with back taxes but some of my former banks wouldn't send me old account statements for a variety of bullshit reasons or they wanted to charge obscene amounts for them. After one email to my Congressman, an aide forwarded it to the CFPB and I got calls from bank representatives within three days asking for my mailing address - didn't even bother charging a reasonable amount for shipping and handling (I asked).

I think I need to emphasize this since many on HN are immigrants: Congresscritters don't care if you're eligible to vote or not (I wasn't). Hell, half the time they don't even care if you're in their district because they're in a safe seat that can only be practically challenged by someone local who can pull donors away. A letter advocating for some policy position that's decided by realpolitik anyway usually just get a form response, but an reasonable letter from a constituent asking for actionable help will almost always get the white glove treatment.
I am two handshakes removed both from John von Neumann and Alan Turing (via different people) and wish even 0.001% of their genius was thereby transmissible.

There are plenty of people still alive with handshake distances of 1 or 0, however, if we’re making a metric out of that.
May I ask what kind of music he liked because I'm dying to know what his frame of reference was when he found your music taste to be torturous.
Whether or not he was insured against this particular damage doesn't make the cost of the repair less outrageous. In the end, drivers will be paying for these repairs, whether directly or through "cheap" monthly insurance payments that hide these occasional events.

(I guess similar arguments could be made about other insurance markets)
> Does is actually cost Tesla that much or do they just quote that much because they are realistically the only ones who can fix it so they can charge the price?

Niche technology is never cheap and they'll do it as long as their customers tolerate/pay it.
I would agree, they are notoriously slow to repair, too expensive (ask the insurance companies) and use blackmail via software.

And the people who buy the cars are knowingly or not knowingly supporting that.
Probably not buying would be more efficient than passing laws with loopholes.
How so? Without the app store an iPhone becomes just an expensive cordless telephone.
If I have a uint64 counter incremented by C code and read by Go code, is it safe to do so without using any locks and atomic?
Preach. This is what chasing 100% test coverage looks like.
Bookmarks are shit for a variety of reasons. Far better to archive pages with images or PDFs. Link rot is so pervasive that just maintaining bookmarks is a waste of time. Tagging, sorting, and annotating files on storage you control is far more reliable.

Google is just trying to help users realize that the web is a bad source for organized information. Google sells expensive clicks to personal injury lawyers off of titanic spam plantations of SEO content —- their mission is orthogonal to the organization of information.
I've seen this "accident" redefinition around before, it looks to me like some silly armchair pedantry, combining the sports of redefining words and judging others. We have courts that can judge culpability / responsibility and decide if a collision was a no fault accident or something negligent, deliberate, whatever. But we also have these neo-political thugs that want to try and use language to manipulate and define what we are allowed to do, so you get these childish redefinitions.
Nice i'll take a look, cheers.
It’s bad policies like this that encourage insurance fraud…if a $700 fix is going to cost $16,000 from the manufacturer and insurance won’t cover it, then owner’s are going to total vehicles just so insurance will cover the full thing (not to mention deductible will probably be less than the $700 non-manufacturer fix)
The patent may be too expensive for a small fry to convert into a product. Requiring them to do that turns the patent system into an instrument for incumbents to absorb inventions from others (who cannot afford to build the full product) while not having to release any of their own rights (because they can afford to build the product, so preserve the patent).

A non-practising patent holder is also more likely to licence the patent to lots of other entities compared to one that makes products. This is one of the concerns around NVidia's proposed takeover of ARM, a non-practising entity that creates and licences computer processor designs.

I'd say there's good music that doesn't try to break rules. A lot of country music is like that to me, incredible skill, solid songwriting but usually within a very traditional frame.
The EV market here in Norway (and probably rest of Europe) is out of control when it comes to repairs. Any critical repair, i.e anything close to the battery, often comes in the range of tens of thousands.

What happens is that the insurance companies will just opt for condemning the car, and you'll get a brand new one. As you can imagine, the insurance prices are terrible.
a closed beta of a system that is "orders of magnitude better, completely reimagined"... videos like this certainly don't seem to show revolutionary growth in the usability of FSD, indeed "more of the same".
> Approaching a bridge? camera sees air, radar sees wall, slam on brakes.

That's simplifying the situation a bit too much. The camera can give more results than air/not-air. Specifically in this case it could detect a bridge.

Same applies to the radar really - you'll get measurements from multiple heights which would tell you that it may be an inclined street, not a wall.

I can't see how someone can use vi for more than a couple of years without doing most everything from muscle-memory. That's the dominant value-proposition, in my view.

That said, your attitude toward use of an editor is bizarre. If you want to use vscode, use it. If not, don't.

If you are trying to convince the world that your choice is the best, and anyone who disagrees is wrong, well, good luck with that.
>Well Casios are better than TI calculators.

Agreed. For basic maths, the best scientific calculator is the fx83. The ES 115 is based on it. The graphics and controls and navigation is really good. Nothing comes close.
From what I can see, it's much more acceptable to be nerdy. I have some younger cousins and nieces/nephews who have recently graduated high school or are currently about to start. It seems much easier to find a niche and not get bullied for being good in school or with technology.

In other words, revenge of the nerds. Every toy out there is now STEM in some way (either in actuality or in branding), and everyone realizes that tech is more likely to make money.

> It's my fault for using the phone

I do take the blame.

I'm driving somewhere 6 hours away that I've never been with a dog in the car. Normally it's quite safe for me to do things like manage turn by turn navigation, and pick up a hands free call, or pause an audiobook, or ask the phone to reroute me to food, gas, or a rest stop.

If you are able to drive solo 6 hours to a new place in total silence without stopping for food, rest, or gas, or touching the turn by turn navigations to make an update, I'll fly you out to me and pay you $1000 a day to teach me how.

It still baffles me that people see stories like this, and desire to have government take over more and more of their life.

Hi, if you have any reference on why I needed consent to install an app in the Apple Store, I would love to hear! Because the case never went to court I didn't get a chance to hear a prosecutor spell it out. And my attorney at the time was unsure how they could possibly make that case, so I didn't get it from him either. But a lot of people here in the comments seem to believe that the case is clear. I'm not sure whether it's hubris, or if my attorney just didn't have the imagination of HN ;) Thanks!
Not only did they quote a whole battery pack for this simple repair, but the guy should have the right to keep the 'broken' battery pack (as a backup after he got it repaired) since he is buying a new one for full price. But tesla was refusing that as well.
> I asked a legitmate question, but people on HN think that it is complaining.

The way you asked it sounded like a complaint more than a legitimate question.

> It took several layers to get an actual answer to the actual question of what is chromium based browsers doing that other browsers are not.

You're assuming that this is due to the difference between Chromium and other browsers, but this could be just due to testing. Browser compatibility takes time to get right. It has an opportunity cost.

> Some people can take questions for what they are, an actual quest for understanding. Others take questions as a challenge and accusation.

Your question was voiced as a challenge and accusation. If you want your questions to be read as a quest for understanding, try to show more empathy, show some humility and show that you already thought of possible answers. Something like this: "I was surprised to see that this is only compatible with Chromium. I can't think of any APIs specific to Chromium that are necessary for this, but maybe I missed something. Is compatibility with other browsers on the roadmap?".
You can. If you open the email, there is a "note" icon in the right sidebar. If you create a new note it tags the email to the note. But this may not be exactly what you want.
How to test a custom react hook
We have actual statistics on how well humans do with Tesla ADAS and it’s remarkably well. The accident rate numbers are hard to compare apples-to-apples since miles driven with all ADAS features active are different from miles driven without the full ADAS active, but the numbers show that the software is absolutely not “1000x more dangerous”.

> In the 1st quarter [2021], we registered one accident for every 4.19 million miles driven in which drivers had Autopilot engaged. For those driving without Autopilot but with our active safety features, we registered one accident for every 2.05 million miles driven. For those driving without Autopilot and without our active safety features, we registered one accident for every 978 thousand miles driven. By comparison, NHTSA’s most recent data shows that in the United States there is an automobile crash every 484,000 miles.

> I don't get why that part isn't shielded for one..

There's a whole series of WTFs in this video.

* Guy failed to get full coverage on a leased vehicle.

* Tesla released car to him without verifying coverage.

* Road debris hitting the bottom of the car can result in $16k in damage.

* Tesla let him drive off with car after he rejected repair and knowing he didn't have comprehensive coverage.

* Critical part of battery is exposed, more so if single motor.

* Critical part of battery is non-serviceable fragile plastic.

* Tesla does not offer a core charge and will not return damaged pack to owner.

This was all because they saved some money by having cooling line fittings be fixed plastic instead of threaded inserts so you could replace the taps.
Part of the disconnect here is that the oft-repeated claims of how many miles have been safely driven by FSD versus humans is a bullshit number. Nearly every mile driven by FSD was driven by FSD AND a human that had to take the wheel when FSD failed.
Because, clearly, anything stationary is ground clutter that can be ignored.
This repair is R&D that is definitely worth the price.

There's no way this is a $200 repair, that Tesla took up a bunch of shop time and their specialized technician for the better part of a day, carefully researching and installing this repair fitting. If you are charging $25/hr labor you are out of business.

If the repair fails, they will likely take it back and improve the fix.

Your plastic mystery fitting would likely not be compatible and cause a leak of whatever coolant is running around in there.

Lastly, road hazard insurance didn't cover any repair. Tesla doesn't do this kind of repair as well, leaving the only recourse replacing the entire part.

Generous federal financial assistance is like a backdoor minimum wage increase. Hopefully inflation doesn’t nullify the bigger purchasing power those bigger numbers are assumed to confer.
It was an important bandwagon though.

I only know of the B52s because of watching Love Shack on TV. Without it many like me would have never learned of the band and would have never listened to their previous albums.
Yelp & Google do a far better job, and the way I feel about yelp is undisputedly bad.

If you google portatronics 46th st, you will learn about the business way faster than if you show up in person, take down the license number, look up their license number, etc.

Further, I have had angry customers leave bad reviews, file chargebacks, etc. Of all the customers I've had in the past 9 years with a DCA license, I had one go to the DCA over an issue they had with the post office that I quickly resolved with a full refund. This is one out of over 40,000 people in nine years, during COVID when the post office was being screwy with everything.

My point is, this just doesn't happen anymore. but I've had TONS of people take grievences to google/yelp, and 99% of the time we give them a call, say mea culpa, ask what we can do to fix it, and work it out and it gets turned into a 5 star again.

People who have a problem go to Yelp/Google to leave a review, or their credit card company for a chargeback. You won't find much related to the reputation of the business using the DCA because it's not the way this generation handles these issues.

We've moved on from this system. It's a system designed to be useful for a pre-internet era, and exists solely so that the city can generate revenue. It's important to call a spade a spade.

I don’t think competition in UX exists generally. Just look at all the products in any space out there (for example, Dell, Logitech, etc.) and how many of them would you say has a good consistent product design team?

Honestly from my experience, people just don’t care. Devs will just say it’s by design and it’s the users’ fault, product owners don’t use the product so much as develop it, and everyone else is just detached from what they’re making. In the end, no one really owns the product.
It's a big problem in Java at least. In Go you have value types by default and they try to make zero a meaningful value.
It is almost like monopolies are universally bad, and when those monopolies also have a monopoly on the initiation of violence, and can send armed men to our home or business to make you comply with their orders reasonable or not, results in bad outcomes every time
Not the OP but "If you can’t buy it, don’t!" might mean not owning/renting it. Either buy it or don't even think about it.
Except Bookmarks and Docs have folders already so the question isn't "no organization" vs "organization" but "tags" vs "folders." This book for example cites data that the majority of users prefer hierarchical organization: https://books.google.com/books?id=EO91DQAAQBAJ&pg=PA137&lpg=...

Adding tags has a chance of causing user confusion, UI congestion and impact on existing tools (in the case of Google Drive) so it's not a free thing to do.
The benefit of buying it is that you can drive it well after it's paid off. Leasing and trading up all the time means you're constantly making never-ending payments. It's not that hard to sell your car when the time comes to get rid of it.
When I was 16, my driver's ed teacher would correct us anytime somebody used the word accident. He insisted on using the word collision instead.
This is SO awesome!
Does Tesla include this information in the sales pitch? the contract? I doubt it.

If they don't, then it's a bit deceptive. I'd fully expect to be able to buy OEM parts for any car I buy, and to have the car repaired at an independent shop. If you're defying the norm it's your responsibility to inform your customers.
Vertical is the future.

Imagine all the kick in the mid 2000s for "vertical living walls" as all the rage in large scale office complexes.

Imagine that if instead they put vertical gardens in every high-rise and the farming of the veggies was a part of the HOA and the veggies were just included in the cost of the living in the home - and you could opt-out and give the veggies to the homeless/shelters/churches/etc...

Now imagine if the US was like Singapore, where the setbacks in dense urban environs is massive enough to manage handling a ton of eatable growth between all buildings.

There are three things that should be required for every single building going up (aside from structural sound-ness)

1. Parking underground for 3 levels

2. Vertical EATABLE gardens

3. A network of 'non=potable' water supplies (water you can get from a grey-water system run through the entire building to feed the plants in the vertical gardens.)

I see no real pain but if I rank the small issues, the top ones would be:

1) Meetings

2) have to work on a beautiful sunny day

3) have to work
The chemical structure is the clue to the explosive potential. The N-N-N triad is a strange beast that shows up in a lot of explosive materials. They're explosive for similar reasons that ammonia nitrate is explosive.

https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn23399-texas-disaster-...

Think of energy as a vertical scale increasing upward. Including a nitrogen triad (like in the drug) pushes the entire molecule up on the energy scale. It's like riding the elevator to the 42nd floor.

In contrast, the N-N triple bond (i.e., atmospheric nitrogen) is way down at the ground floor. This is one reason that despite nitrogen being the most abundant gas in the earth's atmosphere, it requires large amounts of energy to process into fertilizers and other materials.

CO2 and H2O also sit near ground level. So there's a large energy difference between the drug and the combustion products N2, CO2, and H2O.

All it takes to release all of that stored energy is a trigger. For example, if someone were to push you off the top of the building, you would spontaneously release the stored energy. Hopefully you'd be equipped with an air braking device to dissipate it gradually, but if not - well, that energy will be released into your body and the pavement all at once.

We accept shit drivers. We don't accept companies selling technologies that calls itself "Full self driving" (witha beta disclaimer or not) that hits concrete pillars. This isn't hard. It's not a mathematical tradeoff with "but what about if it's shit, but on average it's better (causes fewer accidents) than humans?". I don't care. I accept the current level of human driving skill. People drive tired or poorly at their own risk, and that's what makes ME accept venturing into traffic with them. They have the same physical skin in the game as I have.
I find myself getting more and more disgruntled by what feels like actively hostile UX/UI in so many things. I wonder if anyone at some companies are even reviewing unpackaging their products, using them outside a lab, or ever watching someone use their thing.

I get emails from ServiceNow with zero details about the original ticket, I get shell packaging that makes me want to use power tools to open it, I get user interfaces so overran with calls to action that you can't find what you are looking for, no way to use your voice to correct a text while driving, i cant mute audio while the car is in reverse, and the price scanners at my local safe way are so finicky and track that everything is sitting on a scale and any mess up at all and now you need manual intervention as opposed to the self checkout at Walmart where you can just kinda wave your product near the scanner and it finds it and it doesn't yell at you when you put bags in your cart to make room for other purchases, and the list goes on.
