During the 3 years I’ve owned it there are 2 places where lines are wonky and I know to take over.

I have not yet struggled to stay alert when it drives me, and it has driven better than I would have - so it certainly is an improvement over me driving 100% of the time. It does not have road rage and it does not enjoy the feeling of speeding, like I do when I drive, nor does it feel like driving is a competition, like I must admit I do when I am hungry, stressed, or tired.

> just have all cars limit their speed to the speed limit

No way I’d buy a car that does not accelerate when I hit the pedal. Would you buy a machine that is not your servant?
Thanks, that was interesting :)

One thing I'm curious about: I haven't read the literature all that well, but my personal understanding of MWI, after trying to wrap my head around it, is that there's probably no branching or peeling at all: every possible configuration of the universe immutably exists and is associated with a complex amplitude. What does change are the amplitudes. When I make a choice at point A and the universe "splits" into B and C, the only thing that happens is that the amplitude in bucket A is split into buckets B and C. But there's no reason to think A, B and C were ever empty or will ever be empty: after all, some other state Z might pour amplitude into A at the same time A pours into B and C. We might even currently be in a steady state where the universal wavefunction is perfectly static, because every single "branch" is perfectly compensated by a "join". If so, MWI would challenge the very idea that existence is a binary predicate (it's actually a continuous complex amplitude). I'm honestly not sure how we're even supposed to reason about that thing.

Does that make any sense, or am I way off base?
I said immutable -> !loops (p implies not q).

You're saying !immutable -/> loops (not p does not imply q)

It's a fair thing to mention, but you're not gainsaying anything I said; I never said anything about mutable languages that don't have loops. In fact, to the topic at hand, you would assume that to be the case, given that structured programming was intended to force loops on languages at the time (mostly mutable) that weren't using them (but instead were using gotos and the like)
Thank you; a mantrap was exactly what I was trying to describe in my other comments, but didn't know the word for it.

It's not true that a 7-11 doesn't have room for a mantrap; remember that an unmanned store doesn't have a cash register / checkout counter, or any space behind such for a person to stand. A manned store could be retrofitted into a secure unmanned store by installing the mantrap entrance into exactly that area.
Not really. It's a culture thing. In certain tech fields, (in academia), the concept of orthogonality is important. Hang out with those crowds and they'll use "orthogonal" in their day to day usage all the time. To them it's not a fancier version of "unrelated". It's at the same level.

Another option: you can choose not to sign in to Google play. And just use other app stores. This limits Google's data collection somewhat as they don't know your account.

It's not as good as micro g or a completely ungoogled phone but the benefit is you can use manufacturer roms with all security features like bootloader locking turned on.

I do this with my OnePlus as I don't like leaving the bootloader unlocked. Anyone can pull a disk image off it through recovery then.

Another benefit of this is that Google play services like location and push still work, they don't require an account. But you do give up extra privacy compared to the other options.

There are grapheneos and calyx which do allow bootloader locking but they only work on pixel phones and those are really poor value for money IMO (expensive but still having fingerprint on the back, midrange soc etc). And really hard to get in Europe now. The 5a 5G is not coming here and probably the 6 isn't either.

So this is why I ended up with this option. At least Android has a wide spectrum of choices. With Apple it's take it or leave it.

Okay, those are the ones I meant ;) – thanks! This is the main limitation with our postgres implementation rn.
The Google Pixel has this built in as well.
A comparison to those engines is a bit much isn’t it? It’s not like it provides comparable features.
Here, here!

Two tricks in my bag for this:

1. Exactly you already said: "write a list of the steps you need to take and keep breaking it into smaller parts" :)
2. Play competing heel-dragging tasks against each other, when possible.

I find that doing this ensures that sustained effort is almost guaranteed to be more productive (and it doesn't take long) than trying to do a controlled, focused burst to get something out of the way.
Leaflet is fantastic. One of the more interesting use cases I've seen for it is the Guild Wars 2 wiki. They use it heavily to display the game map for regions, areas of interests etc. It's quite impressive, and very useful as a player!

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Kryta#Interactive_Map
Leaflet for R is fantastic as well. It has been a while since I have used R so there might be something better now, but I have fond memories of that package.

It's interesting how I've heard "impedance mismatch" used much more often than "orthogonal" - even though the latter has much wider applicability in various disciplines. Impedance mismatch is a very specific term in high frequency circuits. Orthogonality is relevant anywhere you use vector spaces (including linear algebra, real analysis, PDEs, etc).
Is it? That's 15 minutes of a customer not spending money, and 15 minutes of a staff person dedicated to giving back money to a customer, rather than generating more revenue.

I get that its considered a feature to get them into a store, but surely you don't want to optimise for associates not selling things?
After 20 years, you are allowed to leave the child you gave birth to. (If you mess up too badly, the state takes the child away before that.)

Afghanistan was a mess. We didn't make it better. We weren't going to be able to fix it, even with more time.

So... why stay? To help them? It wasn't helping.

(The way we left was disgracefully incompetent, but leaving was sound.)
Polls of Afghanis at the time the US went in showed around 80% support for the US toppling the Taliban government. The Taliban has never been popular among more than a small minority of Afghans.
Germany/Korea/Japan had a sense of shared identity dating back centuries (or more). Also two of them just lost a total war they started themselves, so arguably not in a position to complain too much. So, very different situations.
As far as I can tell, yes. They're dropping their 3G network and anything not on their VoLTE whitelist will no longer be usable.

Ask HN: Any dating advice for a late 30s man that got divorced?
My wife (for 12 years) divorced me an year ago and I'm struggling with dating in general. I have been going to therapy but there's a sense that I'm too late to the dating game at 38y and I can't be very picky.

Anyone that went through the same experience (or not) got any advice?

I've tried the usual dating apps but the chats are so superficial and repetitive that I uninstalled them.
The point still stands that Gödel was not a crank. He was mentally ill, but his scientific and mathematical work was about as far removed from crankery as possible.
I've used it and it's nice for use cases that match very closely to what they support and provide documentation/examples for. As a quick drop-in map widget on a web page, it's quite nice.

I've also used Mapbox which provides a much fancier OpenGL map with fancy things like continuous (smooth) zoom levels. Mapbox feels a lot more like a modern Google Maps-esque mapping widget. https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/

It's useful enough to have gained an effective monopoly.

However, it cannot be relied upon in specific instances.
There are a handful of co-op scenarios, one involving winning by trading. The "skirmish"-style games can be set to have either "allies", where you operate separate economies but are on the same side, or "shared kingdoms" where you share everything except your starting locations. Shared Kingdoms is lots of fun!
Out of interest I just had a look on eBay to see what Nokia 9500s go for and... wow. The answer is, kind of, proper money. As in, hundreds of pounds for unlocked models in good condition. Might not sound like that much in an era where premium flagship phones typically cost £1000-1500, but still pretty nuts for a phone that was released all the way back in 2004. I guess for a retro collector with the right sort of fetish this is reasonable[0].

[0] Btw, I'm absolutely not dissing this: I have my own fetish - something of a thing for old synths, particularly those of the early-ish digital era in the 80s that are still fairly affordable, and recently bought a Yamaha RX5 drum machine... from Australia. It wasn't _that_ expensive, but it's a similar level of expenditure. I love old analogue synths too: I just can't afford them and, with these, because they're a bit more sexy and fashionable than the digital options, you can often pick up much less expensive modern day reproductions and homages.

Elon keeps warning the world about the impending hyperintelligent AI that will retool human economies, politics, and religions, yet year after year his cobbled-together AI fails at basic object detection.
That’s a good point. If it were possible to successfully “railsify” the front end that would be amazing.
GPS is extremely accurate honestly. My garmen adjusts itself the very instant I cross over a speed limit sign to a new speed, somehow. Maybe they have good metadata, but its all public anyway under some department of transportation domain and probably not hard to mine with the price of compute these days. Even just setting a top speed in residential areas of like 35mph would be good and save a lot of lives that are lost when pedestrians meet cars traveling at 50mph. A freeway presents a good opportunity to add sensors to the limited on and off ramps for the car to detect that its on a freeway. Many freeways already have some sort of sensor based system for charging fees.

What would be even easier than all of that, though, is just installing speeding cameras and mailing tickets.
I get it. It's just 58 million. I would fight.
Wells Fargo worked with Plaid to implement a direct API (incl. oauth) because it meant Plaid would no longer hold onto the credentials of millions of WF customers.
This is great. I wonder if foreign governments provided support to the Afghanistan fighters, to fight the US?
Mostly unrelated, but I'm still amazed that if you bought Intel at the height of the Dot-com bubble and held on, you still wouldn't have broken even, even ignoring inflation.
Seems weird this wouldn't really be discussed, but this also means that aggressively publicizing this simple fact, and lobbying for very obvious consent & information obligations, might be enough to reign in these practices.
This was a huge eye opening moment for me. I thought it was about using a deck, and I always found it less than fantastic. Now that I am making my own deck, it is far more useful.

It's worse than that. The problem is that being truly rational is hard, unpleasant work that few people want to do.
If you read an article that makes your political opponents look bad, you can't just feel smugly superior, you have to take into account that you are predisposed to believe convenient sounding things, so you have to put extra effort into checking the truth of that claim.

Another feedback I would have is

Fly through your work.

Yeah I love that, flying is zen and green.

The browser that makes you faster and better at working on the web.

Faster and better at working? What experience is that exactly? A burnout experience?

All I'm saying is, you are making an OS, learn from the best. Steve Jobs knew that computer programs are crap by default (he says "developing software is hard" - think twice about that one) and so he was always selling the user experience. What is my experience in front of your program?
That is and has been one of my best excuses (and a pretty valid one, especially when children are involved).

Now this is rather extreme in comparison, but some young families with children live a bit of the slow-nomad life, on a minimal budget. It's difficult to know if that would be overall good or negative for them and the kids, but I kind of suspect it would make for better young humans. I imagine it would mean a lot less prejudice and intolerane of others if you grew up being exposed to many different cultures.
> Bait-and-switch isn't a legal cause of action

That seems pretty dumb to me. Then you're telling me it not actually illegal? There's no way to enforce advertisers not from doing a bait and switch? Count me skeptical.
Well, it's a simulation. You can also use your time and resources to provide suitable plants for the bees in reality; http://hummelgarten.ch/dokumente/ has been very useful to me; there are tutorials and tables on how to best plant your green spaces that the bees are well taken care of throughout the year; this also works in the city.

Just statistically safer won’t cut it - it will have to me many orders of magnitude safer. Instead of drunk people and mobile phone users dying it will be random accidents that humans would easily have avoided but is some weird edge case for the ML model. It’ll be a cars plowing down kids on trikes on a clear day, all captured in perfect HD on the cars cameras and in the press the next day with the crying driver blaming the car.

That’ll be a hard thing to overcome for the public. The drunk person “had it coming”, but did little Timmy?
I had a really good go at reading this and trying to understand it but I feel I don't understand a whole lot more about image decoding/encoding than before I started. Like I get the core concepts of key frames, motion vectors and such on a high level but if you asked me to actually create a decoder I wouldn't have a clue where to start.

I feel like I would need a full hour long video on each paragraph of this post to really understand it.
If robot cars have right of way over pedestrians, won't they become literally aggressive? In that they'll kill people who get in their way?

Ethical Hacking: SQL Injection for Beginners
The go code I wrote in 2015 looks and works exactly the same way new Go code I'm writing today. Even with all the upgrades.

You have no idea how amazing that feels.
Coincidentally, I heard from a T-mobile reseller that T-mobile is forcing them to reissue new SIM cards to all their customers. Unclear if this is related, but the timing is interesting. This was communicated a few weeks ago, before the breach was publicly known.
> Despite Bezos' offer to lower Blue Origin's $5.9 billion contract and take on $2 billion out-of-pocket, the GAO said NASA had found it "implausible" that the company could reduce its price without significantly changing its design.

The US government has rules limiting the ability of contractors to provide the government with subsidised services. The fear is that a contractor will provide massive discounts to win the contract initially, then jack up the price once the government is locked-in. Bezos' offer to tip in $2 billion likely violates those rules.

SpaceX is contributing its own funds towards HLS Starship, but that is allowed by the rules because it can demonstrate it is a commercial investment for non-NASA customers – Starship is a generic system to meet many use non-government cases, including Starlink, commercial launch customers, and private tourism (e.g Dear Moon), and the HLS-specific aspects are a relatively small part of the overall system cost. By contrast, Blue Origin has no concrete evidence of any customer for Blue Moon except NASA, so it can't claim that its contribution is a commercial investment.
It's insanely easy to change sim cards. A few times I've done it they haven't even asked for ID. I even set up a 'port out pin' that requires me to give a 6 digit pin anytime I want to change something about my service or get a new sim card, it's 50/50 whether they actually ask for it or not.
> This is a well written article.

Judging by some other comments, I think that's probably why. It mocks a number of current orthodoxies in a coherent and sensible way. It's not so easy to dismiss, better to try and hide it.
Mac OS update failed for the first time in 19 years
Because there was once a time when Vue was being introduced on HN. They need to start somewhere.
Hmmm. I'll try. I guess the main issue is that I rarely ever deal with data in binary format. The times that I've dealt with binary strings has probably been most often as binary numbers in some sort of programming or math puzzle. Thinking of it as "multiplying" or "dividing" by a power of 2 feels more natural to me than "shifting" bits left or right. Maybe this is because I was a math major instead of CS :p

If I had more experience with lower level languages and / or dealing with raw binary data formats, I probably would have internalized it better by now.
Go isn't low level in the same way that Rust is. Both languages have their places, but Go seems to be more of a better Python/JS, whereas Rust is a better C++.
While you're absolutely right, I don't see how its relevant in this case.

>you'd have to show that the plan all along was to use the initial offer as bait in order to draw a buyer into some other deal.

I mean, its pretty obvious that their plan is to use the excitement of the harrier jet to lure people into buying pepsi and pepsi points. The question really becomes: might a reasonable person believe that they're actually selling the jet. I would say its quite likely. I think this is bad precendent.
Fake Filler: fill all input fields on a page with randomly generated fake data
Have you tried "F2" (rename symbol)? It's amazing, it's like a "safe" find & replace all.
That's the sad truth. Go is not leap and bound better on that front, it is C/C++ that has not catched up.
Thanks for the feedback! Simplicity is key, and we hope you feel faster using SigmaOS without adding unnecessary complexity.
What makes this insidious is that Apple became successful on the backs of App developers, and now they're kicking down the ladder after reaching the top.
It's just victim blaming and anti-corporation rhetoric.

> electing not to sell a unique item at an advertised price when a concrete offer is received is not the same thing

I disagree. I think it very much is the same thing. Unless they had other reasons (other than that they didn't want to honor their advertisement).

Both quotes you wrote down seem to quite clearly apply in this Pepsi case.
The government is the final arbiter in a bunch of cases you care about. Whether you are (for example) a US citizen is not a decision for T-Mobile, or Amazon, or Walmart, or Delta, that's up to the US government†

The government (and not private corporations) tracks births, deaths, immigration, emigration, and of course it chooses to issue identity paperwork.

In general the closest commercial entities like banks can do is identity matching. So e.g. maybe Bank A asks you "Hey, do you have, like, a mortgage? Who with?" and you pick Bank X from the list of six options and OK, either that's a lucky guess or you know that "you" have a mortgage with Bank X.

This is pretty poor, it's something, but it's not very much, it's up there with Facebook's "Here are some pictures of people, which of them is your friend?" which of course falls down when either: You "friend" people you don't actually know and wouldn't recognise; or your "friends" don't like Facebook having accurate photo data and intentionally mislabel random other people or things with their name...

And as with the Facebook thing it breaks in surprising and hard to reproduce/ demonstrate ways. Maybe you think of this as your Big Bank mortgage, but if you check the small print it's actually a Different Bank mortgage, that Big Bank are re-branding, and so you just picked wrong.

So yes, in practice government is where this would get solved, if you've any appetite for solving it.
You're probably referring to parking sensors, which are typically ultrasonic sensors mounted to the bumpers. Unfortunately, ultrasonics have both a limited range of ~20ft for practical uses, and more damningly, a relatively wide field of view with no ability to distinguish where in the field of view an object is. While 20ft range is more than enough to give you time to slam on the brakes in your garage, it's basically useless for high speed autonomy, except for some very limited blindspot-awareness type tasks.
Personally (early 30s) this stresses me out almost every day. Just the anxiety of knowing in 10 years time I will be on the chopping block daily, regardless of how good I am. And frankly my generation has ridiculous education and housing debt so we're going to have it a lot worse than you - sorry to use the obligatory term - boomers.
