My thoughts exactly. I've made those mistakes myself, many times.

I guess I sort of assumed that Tesla would do three things:

- Record the IRL decisions of 100k drivers.

- Running FSD in the background, compare FSD decisions with those IRL decisions. Forward all deltas to the mothership for further analysis.

- Some kind of boid, herd behavior. If all the other cars drive around the monorail column, or going one direction on a one way roadway, to follow suit.

To your point, there should probably also be some sort of geolocated decision memory. eg When at this intersection, remember that X times we ultimately did this action.
That equation doesn’t balance out.

Seems like minor improvement in a meal, it doesn't measure the cumulative effects of these minor differences every meal, over several years.
You’re right, the article I linked to is more about how to eliminate a pesky attribute of physical cash, not the physical manifestation itself (which I’m frankly less concerned with). My initial comment was mostly meant to be about the removal of physical cash as an alternative to something with a negative nominal yield, which a dual currency does accomplish, it would no longer be an alternative. But separately, I do think the eventual intention is to also get rid of the physical manifestation entirely, with a dual currency as a way to ease toward that.
The datasheet says "Out-of-band blocking performance" is just -5dBm in some frequency ranges...

What’s frustrating about this is how indifferent people are to these institutional failures. They’ll just shrug their shoulders and say “sounds like a problem for the fat cats that run companies”.

The vast bulk of civilization runs on business. Unless you’re content with North Korean living standards you need to make it possible for people to start, run and grow businesses. A society that fails on this point is just as fucked as one that can’t keep clean drinking water flowing or achieve basic literacy.
CSRF tokens have overhead and they have to be implemented for all inputs which isn't trivial (judging by amount of CSRF related vulnerabilities disclosed in hacker one reports).

I knew Hal Finney. He was a special case, and not representative of anyone else I know.

For example, at the last minute he decided to enter a Gomoku-playing computer programming contest. He learned Gomoku and wrote a program that trashed the competition (including the MIT entry) in a weekend.

Corporate farming (or big ag) outnumbers family farms to the point where family farmers are politically insignificant compared to corporate farming. With that in mind, "their" (i.e., corporate farms) livelihoods depend more on government subsidies than good climate.

I don't think you can generalize how family farmers feel about climate change, or even if they're single issue voters that may or may not care about something else more. Corporate farms are big business though, and big business tends to vote conservative in the US, and conservatives in the US tend to not take action to fix climate change. These two things may be related, too.

But the only way the monopoly on technology can make money is by sharing the benefits. The point of technology is to make the production of goods and services more efficient; it's not a scarce resource in itself. If a technology is not commercialized then this efficiency gain is not achieved and benefits no one. If someone commercializes it and monopolizes it but charges too high a price, people wouldn't buy it anyway, since they can always use older technology, and the monopoly also earns nothing. If transactions occur, it means both buyer and seller feel they are getting a benefit.

Politics is mostly a game of pretend and therefore bullshit, as uhh.. engineers we like to be more practical.

I've found that when engineers talk about politics, they're no more practical than anybody else. On HN I see a ton of uninformed and simplistic overbroad solutions. They imagine it's pragmatism, but they don't actually know any of the real problems.

In 2017 I had a problem with back taxes and the IRS was threatening to come after me. I couldn’t get them on the phone and it was important enough that I didn’t want to wait to resolve it via mail. I contacted my US congressperson and complained that they were making it impossible to work out an arrangement, and the fact that I wanted to give them money & couldn’t call them was ridiculous. A senior aide got back to me pretty quickly, and offered to help. Instead of relying on snail mail and nonfunctional phone calls, I was able to resolve the entire process via email and a couple phone calls with the aide. It was great, and I highly recommend giving it a try.

"But, if your experience is anything like my own, I'm guessing that a lot of what motivates you is the feeling that you've done something of tangible value when you optimize the code."

This is not at all how it is for me. The execution model of the code is core to how I read programs in languages where I am familiar with their execution model. So reading code that has dirty data or control flow, such as copying an entire array twice to change one character in two passes is as repulsive to me as maintaining and synchronizing two separate functions, one for each character swap.
You probably have, but if you haven't heard 'All Your Goodies are Gone' from the Parliament album, Up for the Downstroke, it's special - even by George Clinton's standards.

I was googling about this, and found this which pulls no punches. Seems he's a Thiel-esque hard-Right candidate: https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/562508-thiel-ally-blak...

> Blake Masters, a top ally of GOP mega-donor Peter Thiel, launched a bid in Arizona’s Senate race Monday as the GOP field vying to take on Sen. Mark Kelly (D) grows.

> Masters, the chief operating officer at Thiel Capital and president of the Thiel Foundation, has recently become more involved in Republican politics, including in 2020, when he headed a PAC that raised more than $3 million to elect Republicans to the Arizona State Legislature. In a campaign launch video, Masters touched on a number of GOP culture war issues like immigration and critical race theory while casting himself as an ally of working families.

> “It’s time to put this country first. It’s time to enforce the law, and we need to finish the wall,” he added over video of him walking in front of the U.S.-Mexico border.

> Masters’s entry into the race is the latest move by Thiel to assert his influence over key Senate races across the country. The billionaire tech entrepreneur has doled out $10 million each to two super PACs backing Masters and J.D. Vance, the “Hillbilly Elegy” author who is running in the Ohio Senate GOP primary.

It's a cherry picked set of examples you're drawing generalisations from. On any day I can see more reckless driving from humans than I've ever seen online with Tesla.
I don't pay taxes the way I pay for a cell phone carrier. The taxes have to get paid no matter what -- I can't withhold payment or switch to a different carrier because I'm getting bad service. I could, as a privileged American, uproot my whole life and move elsewhere, but I'd still owe taxes for the time I had awful service, and depending on the circumstances might still end up owing at least some taxes until I renounced citizenship.

Like them or not, want them or not: taxes are not voluntary payments, and we can't apply the same logic to them.
I personally prefer a proactive doctor. Life gets busy and I don't always find time to get checkups and such. A small nudge from the doctor's office to get a checkup pays dividends. People with chronic conditions do need monitoring. It shouldn't be absurdly expensive.
> it really makes me wonder why companies are not making their products lower carb to begin with

Cost has got to be one of the biggest factors, but I'd also say the overwhelming majority of people still have "fat is bad" firmly ingrained into them - it's going to take a very long time to diminish that.

And of course, people like sweet things.

I do use my MBP with a BT keyboard and external monitor, though that forces an unfortunate tradeoff between clamshell mode (which reduces heat dissipation and makes wifi connectivity noticeably worse) and lid-open operation, which is more taxing on the GPU.

The bigger issue is that if I go work at a coffee shop, park, or conference, this isn't an option. I don't want to have to lug an external keyboard/trackpad with me, and limited table space would prevent me from setting up these peripherals at any rate.

I'm glad to hear you found good pricing in your area! What I've seen on NextDoor does not look promising. Perhaps this is because I live in Silicon Valley, where the shortcomings of these computers are very well-known.
Nope. Read the article again, carefully.
I was given an OLPC laptop as a gift, and learned that their CMOS battery (If I remember correctly) was hardwired, and when the battery died the laptop was useless. I sent my OLPC to someone on a forum who claimed to fix them, along with a fee, and never heard back. The only time I’ve been screwed by someone on a niche forum like that.

Still, it was a fun thing to play with. The form factor was like a durable OG iBook, and it worked well for basic tasks.

You can invoke an overview, that lists the last five, or so, Vaults, you used. From there you can switch. But that is all. The configuration, and, yes, the plugins (yeez!), sadly, are still installed on a per Vault base. What I have done is to set up an empty Vault as a template, configure it the way, I would have my master preferences, and when I create a new Vault, I start by cloning that. It's not perfect, but better than nothing.

Another thing I dislike is, that the Vault can not go into a (programming) project's folder as a sub folder, but considers the project folder as the Vault.

China’s Mobile Gaming Industry: An Interview with Todd Kuhns
I feel exactly the same for many books. If a book summary on Wikipedia, etc., neither surprises me nor teaches me anything new, I have little motivation to read the book.

There's an 'Ask HN' thread on "high signal to noise ratio" books: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10027102 I note that "Thinking, Fast and Slow" is also listed here.

Wikipedia itself is of course lovely for high information density and is my go-to resource.
That quote says nothing that evokes "room for improvement" to me. It demeans modern civilization's achievements to plastic vomit and microwave hotdogs. It also mocks hope for the future of our ability to change by then. Which is pretty bullshit because the rate of all those things is declining. Kafka's quote there is also pretty shit.

Progressive sociological and technological change is difficult. We have made significant progress. We have a long way to go. Crying that we have achieved nothing diminishes large achievements that you take for granted.
Climate change causes these kind of events to happen more frequently. So if you have N heat waves this decade while you had M<N heat waves 50 years ago in a decade then you can say that about N-M of these were causes by the climate change.

But I'm pretty sure you know that. However, people seem to have demonstrated a lack of ability (or will) to understand the climate change based on the long term stats, so some think that maybe the individual events help these people understand (or accept) the reality.

I see your point now. Yes, Java won't segfault, unlike Go on slices/maps/interface values. But even without segfaults, undefined behaviors due to race conditions can still be pretty in Java (causing infinite loops, memory leaks, etc.). Maybe it's better to let the program crash with a segfault.

> Poorer people use much less fuel than wealthier people. Gas taxes are not regressive. Poisoning the atmosphere is regressive.

That isn't always true. At least in my city, poor people have to drive to work, richer people often have the luxury of riding their bike or taking the corporate bus in (because they live closer to work (or even public transit) and/or their company provides them with perks that reduce their need for driving).
That's a pretty bad metric for success.
If you wanted strictly markdown then you could just stick to markdown, but the set of popular features which extend markdown are developing consensus across the ecosystem, such that you can get most of Obsidian's functionality with less than a handful of popular VSC extensions.

In that sense Obsidian is just a fancy viewer for documents which can be edited in VSC.

And with regards to vanilla markdown (which would exclude the likes of Github or Gitlab, or the most popular extensions on VSC), personally, I wouldn't be satisfied with the exclusion of Latex which is already in widespread support across markdown supporting apps.

Community markdown is a moving target because John Gruber's initial vision is frozen in time whilst the demand for innovation is ballooning. It's unfortunate because the trademark for markdown is in some ways in the same ballpark of value as the community buy-in for the technology.
My biggest pitfalls were reddit and yt. I couldn’t outright ban them since they’re also a source of enrichment. The simple solution that finally worked for me was using extensions to hide everything I didn’t go there for. By that I mean, all yt recommendations and the reddit main page.
I checked out your post on permies. Using a garden fork or broad fork to loosen the compacted soil will speed up your progress. If you see dandelions or other long tap root plants they are trying to do the job of loosening soil. But, they can only go so fast. Forking the ground then covering with compost and watering in will jump you a few years farther in succession.
Coolest cooler was intended to address a perceived need. One that may still exist.

What the world "needs", is an easy-to assemble frame that you can yourself integrate the functions you need. So if we made coolers to a standard size, with some standardized attachment point, that would be a start.

Then you could have a lightweight wheeled frame of standard dimensions and attachment points, that you could then integrate the components you need: portable power pack, BT speaker system, etc.

We have so few standardized systems for connecting things together physically. There are things like the screw mount for cameras, picatinny rails, and 19in equipment racks, for instance. But so few of the other items in our everyday lives, like BT speakers are engineered that way. They are all designed for style, and can't easily be combined.

If you had a system where everyone with nearly zero mechanical skill could attach things together, this would get us closer to the world where everyone who wanted one could have a coolest cooler. Otherwise you have people trying to stick things together with duct tape, which usually works very poorly if at all.
>It seems so obvious to me that people are going to commit more broken code via Copilot than ever before.

Maybe we should use Copilot to commit more open source code meaning that Copilot becomes more and more corrupted and unusable!

of course then we end up with a bunch of bad open source code that will turn people off of using open source.

Gee, I don't think Microsoft really thought this one through.

Deerhoof popped right into my head on reading that post, too. Kate Bush and Talking Heads, from other posts, are others I'd personally second, for the requested qualities.

Older stuff, I'd say the White Album is up that alley, if not all Beatles music. Maybe The Zombies?

Other recent stuff to throw on the pile... maybe Scissor Sisters? Might be too dark to fit the request, though.
I 100% struggle with this, and it makes me a slower developer. As I said elsewhere, the dirty data / control flow of two passes to do a one character substitution is as painful to me as synchronizing two copies of the same function for different character substitutions.

Probably the biggest help is to work somewhere that it's a productive use of your time to care about the details. Second, getting the details right can steal time from getting broad strokes right. Who cares if you reduce a predictable branch if you are sitting on top of a massive bucketed hash table the serializes all keys to strings by allocating? Fight the battles worth winning.

One of the things that helps is to work in a language with an execution model that I don't understand, e.g. Python or JavaScript.
