> It makes no sense to posit whether Afghanistan has changed, because Afghanistan isn't a single entity.

You're the one that claimed Afghanistan didn't change, or rather that it was "much the same", so blame yourself for "not making sense".

Of course it's worth making the distinction between the rural population and the urban population. Indeed, rural living conditions didn't change much. Nevertheless, the influence of militant Islamism, a novelty of the twentieth century, has brought drastic changes.

> I and others who predicted failure in Afghanistan over twenty years ago were unaware of these rules, and yet we somehow managed to predict the course of the conflict.

Did you really? What precisely did you (or they) predict? Have these predictions been published at the time? Surely they must be available?

> You might be surprised to learn (and I'm guessing you'll actually be surprised) that the rise of militant Islamism did not make us more likely to win.

That's not at all the way I think about it. Islamists stand little chance in battle against the US military. The question is: Can you build a civil government and train it to stand on its own feet against the threat? This is a worthwhile endeavor, even if the odds are against you.

To that end, your 200 years of history aren't all that relevant. By looking at history, I could've predicted that the end of Apartheid would lead to the current state South Africa is in. That still wouldn't be an argument in favor of maintaining Apartheid.

It's true, history doesn't always side with the "goods guys" and if you predict ahead of time that the "bad guys" will win, maybe you'll be able to say "I told you so, idiots!". Congratulations for that, may you revel in your glee until the end of your days.

> Regardless, both the Brits and the Ruskies, who had very difference experiences in Afghanistan in many ways, including the absence and presence of militant Islamism respectively, were nevertheless able to confidently tell us that our own little project was almost certainly doomed.

The Brits tried to install an already ousted monarch in order to turn Afghanistan into client state. The Russians tried to bring fledgling communists into power.

I don't think either are comparable to trying to prop up an already existing civil government whose weak defenses just didn't stand a chance against hordes of extremists with rifles and a death wish.

What precisely is it that lets you draw the conclusion that, because the former two scenarios were "doomed", surely the latter one must be doomed as well? Please don't answer in the form of book references or papers. I've read through your Ingraham reference and it doesn't actually contain any insight about why that British plan didn't work out.

Andrej Karpathy already explained they were getting too much noise from Radar. Adding LIDAR would only complicated it. Unless you have better knowledge than Andrej Karpathy, I’ll go with his word on this.

Edit: nitrogen I can’t comment directly on yours, so I’ll ass it here. That’s a good goal to have and they tried that for well over two years. They found too much noise and confusion. If Radar says one thing and Vision says another over and over who do you trust? They decided they could train their NN with just Vision. They use LIDAR on test cars to confirm their Vision can recognize distances correctly. In this case I believe cutting out a sensor instead of trying to neuter it is the right decision.

Can I post a job ad?

Please don't post job ads as submissions to HN.

A regular "Who Is Hiring?" thread appears on the first weekday of each month (or Jan 2). Most job ads are welcome there. Only an account called whoishiring is allowed to submit the thread itself. This prevents a race to post it first.

Another kind of job ad is reserved for YC-funded startups. These appear on the front page, but are not stories: they have no vote arrows, points, or comments. They begin part-way down and fall steadily. Only one is on the front page at a time. The rest are listed at jobs.
> Anybody who is "just starting" to focus on cybersecurity really hasn't been paying attention.

As a cybersecurity engineer: absolutely agree. Unfortunately, there is a truly stunning amount of companies that haven't been paying attention.

I'm lucky to work at a company that's been investing in cyber for years, but the stories I hear from colleagues at other companies are truly mind-blowing. There are a lot of highly respected companies out there with little to no security program in place.

> Determining whether or not fiber calories should “count” depends on context and requires some background. Calories are a basic unit of energy that measure, among other things, how much burning power they provide to the body. Fats, proteins, carbohydrates and alcohol provide the body with energy or calories. The traditional estimates are that 1 gram of fat provides 9 calories, each gram of either proteins and carbohydrates provide 4 calories, and a gram of alcohol provides 7 calories. However, this doesn’t account for differences in how well food is digested and the nutrients available to the body. Poorly digested foods may not release as much energy for the body to use. This is particularly important in the case of fibers.

> Dietary fibers are complex carbohydrates, so some people estimate that they provide 4 calories per gram just like any other carbohydrate. However, others say that calories from fiber don’t count since your body’s digestive enzymes can’t break down fiber. However, fibers differ in how well they are digested or how much energy is available to the body. Some fibers, called soluble fibers, either absorb water and become gels or dissolve in water and reach the intestine where they are digested by bacteria. As they are digested by bacteria, soluble fibers produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that provide your body energy. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) estimates that fibers fermented by bacteria provide about 2 calories per gram of fiber. Insoluble fibers travel to the intestine with very little change. Instead of being digested, insoluble fibers increase bulk, soften stool, and shorten transit time through the gastro-intestinal tract. Because these fibers are not digested at all, the FDA estimates that insoluble fibers do not contribute any calories.

The current regime could end the embargo right away by choosing a democratic future.
While I share your concerns for democracy in Cuba there is likely still majority or close to majority support for the government and far from majority support for the embargo, so I think that by far the best way to support the agency of the Cuban people is to allow greater economic freedom, not to encourage potentially unpopular and certainly massively destructive military action.
You should not blame Go channels for your inexperience of using them.
I thought this was examples from months of driving and thousands of hours, which would have been terrible. But apparently it’s just from a few days testing. That’s unthinkably bad.
They are free not to trade with the US if they wish to trade with Cuba. And these clauses only cover property that was illegally stolen by the Castro regime. Selling stolen property is always a crime, no matter where.

The binary construction of the forms on the step-by-step page [1] is very intriguing, almost reminds me of the kind of bit-shifting you see in hashing algorithms. Sometimes I think there must be a better way to represent random numbers like git hashes and public keys, just because they're hard to remember or distinguish. Maybe representing 60 bits of entropy as one of these hierarchies rich with star-and-body associations would make it easier to remember what a particular hash refers to.

The first title I worked on in the games industry was a game called Lunatik, which was billed as a 3D Defender (for PS1, Saturn, and PC). It never worked.

I wrote some comments on this article [1] about why it failed, if you’re interested.

[1] https://www.unseen64.net/2020/11/16/lunatik-pure-entertainme...
It’s a stationary object. What source do you have to say Tesla deleted the date? Seems kinda foolish for a company like them to just throw data away. They even have data on lumbar support usage.
I support RTR. I find Rossman annoying and abrasive, but he makes good points.

However, we are never going to live in a world of repaired devices. Feature development and performance increases happen too quickly.

Most people buy new phones every two years and upgrade not because the device isn't working or its become unusuable.

The better path, the one that Apple is pursuing, is improving the reclaim-ability of materials in devices.

I'd rather trade my old laptop in and buy a new one that has been made from the reclaimed materials of my old laptop, than have my older, slower, less capable one repaired.
Of course it's quite possible that's what Turing was doing in this case. I'm not saying it wasn't.

My gentle objection from long experience is that gay men's motivations are so very often over-sexualized by people who are not gay men. Without good situational evidence, it's not a good idea to make that assumption.
You might like a board that has a qwiic or other similar style of connectors (https://www.sparkfun.com/qwiic). The idea is to standardize microcontroller peripherals like sensors, actuators, lights, etc. onto simple buses with shared connectors so you don't have to learn or worry about routing and wiring things up yourself. There are tradeoffs or course but it's a great way to get going and prototype stuff.
In 2030 I look forward to renting a casio for a web server instead and being happy about it.

So even if you have no income or a loss, you still have to pay $800 tax. That seems ridiculous. Many have said that the term "tax" is inappropriate and instead should be a fee (which can be tax deductable), but wait! There's more. There is also a LLC fee which is waived for <$250k revenue but increases there after. Note - all this taxation and fees is in addition to state income taxes. Experts also say that the "LLC Fee" should be called "LLC Tax". California has an absurd level of taxation for someone who wants to open "Hannah's Illustration & Painting LLC".

Given how it works in states like Nevada and Arizona ($50 flat one time fee, no minimum LLC tax or fees), California goes on a limb to intentionally make sure your little LLC suffers as much as possible: http://www.incorporatecalifornia.com/callctax.html
Can someone explain what is happening in the first video? are the planters on the left after the turn and it was trying too tight of a turn?
Yes, they do. Since 2019 you are legally liable if you trade with anyone in Cuban that is linked to goods seized in the revolution.

The Canadian government and the EU have programs to mitigate that liability but it's still there.
There’s a big risk of spine injuries, and a rear end collision might not activate the airbag. Not a simple trade off.
They wouldn't if they were fined, as the headline and article clearly state.
I wrote a big comment and deleted it, because it all depends on your notion of reasonable safety. If you look transgender, you will certainly get glances and some occasional verbal aggression, but as long as you follow the basic common sense safety rules, I doubt that you'll have to worry about something worse. Russia is a huge place, and living in a center of Moscow does feel like one of the most modern, shiny European cities. There's plenty of middle class (by US and Europe standards; they're at least upper-middle class by Russian standards) people living by progressive western values. But there's plenty of places that aren't that welcoming.

Go’s UB is in a rare edge case. I’ve been writing Go for a decade and I’ve never run into it. No doubt some have, but this is in stark contrast to C++ where UB is all over the place. The salient detail is that UB isn’t a binary like you propose. It’s not like “am I pregnant”, it’s more like “how much alcohol have I consumed”?
Can anybody update the EspUSB design with the ESP32 chip?

https://github.com/cnlohr/espusb

It's an even smaller board that fits inside a USB port. It's good for making a Raspberry Pi pocket-sized. I use it as a WiFi keyboard for typing Chinese. It's much easier to use handwriting recognition on my phone for characters that I don't know.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPBzOaLbWhM

To get the EspUSB built, I had to download the KiCAD designs, generate Gerber files, guess the BOM, email back and forth with PCBWay, pay 70 EUR for 3 units, and have a stable address for them to ship to. And I still had to solder on serial wires, boot into Ubuntu, build and flash the firmware myself. The whole process took a couple of years. I'm starting that process (guessing the BOM) for the HDMI-PI now, but discovered that I also need to design an adaptor from MIPI-iPhone LCD connector so it will probably be another year or two before I finally get it built.

After the long process of having custom hardware built, I thought I'd write about it and maybe get some more built and sell them online. But I was scared away by FCC regulations: I could be sued for $100,000 or more if I sell a WiFi device that isn't certified, and it costs $10,000 to get the certification. So I gave up on trying to make it easier. Hardware is hard.

'tail' is so neat and versatile.

I used it as a solution to allow me to trigger backups of minecraft worlds from within the game server my son and I share. Anything you put to the 'say' command is written to the game's log. I use

tail -F -n 0 ./logs/latest.log | grep --line-buffer <command-pattern> | sudo xargs -L1 ./some_script.bsh

to detect commands in the log and shuttle them to a custom script. In my case it zips a copy of the world and pushes it to blob storage.

I'm not a unix guy so figuring this all out was quite gratifying.
Mutexes and channels really overlap in some functionalities, but not totally overlap, okay?
> This is a design flaw.

How do you know? I mean, maybe they very intentionally designed that part out of plastic so that it would break away from the battery in a case like this (instead of not breaking away and creating a higher risk of damaging the battery).
No, they have not. Normalization actually did happen until Trump took office, and meanwhile Cuba has allowed for greater economic and political freedom.
Because every year, Tesla keeps saying it's going to ship soon. It's clear this isn't even close to ready, I'd say it's 10 years from shipping, if not back to the drawing board. Tesla is having people pay for a self driving package as an option, and years later, it still isn't available. Shouldn't they refund their owners?

I mean, just look at the visual representation of what the FSD is showing. It has no temporal stability. Solid objects are constantly appearing and disappearing. Often the trajectory line periodically switches from a sane path to some radically wrong path.

The car then often takes a HARD accelerated left or right, like it is dodging something, which often isn't there, only to threaten another collision.

It's like a Trolley Problem where one of the tracks is empty, and you divert the trolley into a group of kids.

The "aggressive" nature of its fails is super concerning. My son is 16 and learning to drive right now. When he makes a mistake, he doesn't aggressively accelerate and make wild turns, he hits the brakes. In most cases, in residential traffic (25-30mph), someone braking will annoy other drivers, but they will be able to stop and avoid collision. At many city driving speeds, you should not have to make sudden, super aggressive turns into the other lanes. Just safety come to a stop, even if you annoy people.

I see Musk's attitude here as endangering the public. Cars aren't rockets launched at far away landing strips by expert flight controllers. Even these beta testers can fuck up, as numerous people have already died using FSD, because some dipshits like to watch DVDs or sit in the back seats to show off to friends on TikTok, dangering not just themselves, but the public.

The beta should be closed IMHO to Tesla employees only and professionally hired drivers. I mean, why can't Tesla just do what other companies do, hire like 1000 drivers to go drive FSD around 100 American cities for months at a time collecting data?
That rate likely includes transportation to the facility to do the repair. I would happily pay that over paying $16k and so did the customer. That's a fantastic argument for RTR.
The Teensy is quite different, I don't think some of its famous audio/DSP applications could be ported to the ESP32. Hoping to be wrong though.

This synth for example is entirely built around a Teensy.

You seem to be heavily focusing on your own memory and how taking the notes impacts you, when others (me at least) need notes mostly for future reference.

I’m not trying to remember in 20 years what order I need to deploy code. I won’t care in two weeks about my TODO of the week.

I don’t even _want_ to be aware of the log extracts and where they are stored in the folders and what we discussed about them, hopefully nothing happens and we can all forget.

Note taking as an adult is fundamentally different to me from the note taking I did as a kid who was supposed to pass tests with nothing more than a pen on the table.

>It leads to fat shaming by people whom have never struggled with their weight who justify their cruelty by parroting “calories in calories out”.

Is it? In my experience the people who parrot that are people who were fat and through a combination of diet and exercise returned to a healthy weight.

I do agree though there's more to weight loss than just CICO(maybe insulin). Peter attia had a recent interesting episode on obesity and nutritional science.
