I really wrestle with this line of reasoning. Tesla keeps pointing this out, and it's appealing to me, but at the same time something about it seems off to me. I can't tell if this is erroneous intuition on my part blinding me to a more rational assessment, or if that intuition is onto something important.

Some top-of-my-head thoughts:

1. I think to make a fair comparison of Tesla versus other cars, you'd have to really ask "how much safer are Tesla owners in Teslas compared to other cars randomly assigned to them?" That is, comparing the accident rates of Teslas compared to other cars is misleading because Tesla owners are not a random slice of the population. I almost guarantee that if you e.g., looked at their accident rates prior to owning a Tesla their accident rates would be lower than the general population.

2. In these autopilot situations, bringing up general accident rates seems sort of like a red herring to me. The actual causally relevant issue is "what would happen in this scenario if someone were driving without an autopilot?" So, for example, in the example of the rider who was killed when the autopilot drove them into a semi, the actually relevant question is "what would have happened if that driver, or someone interchangeable with them, was driving without autopilot? Would have they drove themselves into a semi?"

3. Various experts have argued general vehicle accident rates aren't comparable to Teslas because average cars are much, much older. As such, you should be comparing accident rates of cars of the same age, if nothing else. So, aside from the driver effect pointed out earlier, you have the question of "what would the accident rate look like in a Tesla or a car identical to it without autopilot?"

4. At some point with autopilot -- whether it be Tesla or other companies -- you have to start treating it comparably to a single individual. So, for example, what are the odds of Person A27K38, driving the same number of miles as Tesla, having a certain pattern of accidents? If you found a specific person drove into first responders on the side of the road 11 times, wouldn't that be suggestive of a pattern? Or would it? It's not enough to ask "how often do non autopilot drivers drive into first responders on the side of the road", it seems to me important to ask "how often would a single driver drive into first responders on the side of the road, given a certain number of miles driven in that same period?" At some point, autopilot becomes a driver, in the sense it has a unique identity regardless of how many copies of it there are? Maybe that's not right but it seems like that is the case.
As others have said, it doesn't have to be. Much of the world has long moved on from mag stripes and signatures.
Yep and arguably it all set off a powder keg in Syria, too. And gave the regime in Iran more hegemony in the region.

I don't see any wins. None.
Maybe FedNow could take over the mobile payment industry depending on how truly instant it is, and become similar the role WePay takes in China.

On my "first stage" AST I have node e.g "variable declaration"

which has declared type, name, expression

then I have pass which transforms "variable declaration" node to

"bounded/proven/type_checked (whatever you call it) variable declaration"

with the difference that it performs check whether result type of expression equals to declared type

and overrides/swaps that particular node

Before I start messing with e.g classes then I'll have to add some kind of type discovery before being able to prove types, but it'll be just walk thru all nodes and save as much info as I can about e.g new classes
I'm in the US. The only places I've seen in the last year or so that still use the magnetic stripes are gas stations, and all the ones I usually go to take the chip.
The article's author is really crushing it.
Do you have any reports claiming to have seen them? Do you trust the source?
>painful transition

How painful could it possibly be to go and buy a new card reader? Why doesn't the payments provider offer them as part of the service? They are not so expensive.
Yeah, that's perhaps where the gap is: I brought a (used, $300) laptop with me to college and I didn't buy either a TV or a mini-fridge.
Just look at an image search for "spaced repetition" and you can create it from the graphs you see.

Essentially you're creating a set of reminders/events with linear or exponential spacing between. A common pattern appears to be 1, 3, and 6 days after first learning, which is also 1, 2, and 3 days apart from each other.

But: carefully and well-choosing a purpose in live helps with so many things. To be successful, we must learn to act rather than being acted upon. To bring joy and stability, I think it needs to be realistic and at least partly or largely unselfish. I wrote more on past related HN discussions, and many more thoughts (in profile).
I drove a friend's Model 3, and within five minutes of driving on autopilot it got confused at an intersection and tried to make a pretty sudden 'lane change' to the wrong side of a divided road.

Obviously that's a single anecdote, and I don't know if it would have gone through with it because I immediately corrected, but that was my experience.
my 2021 Subaru Forester does all of these things and I do feel like I am safer with them on and paying attention to the rest of driving.
> I honestly don’t even recall the time when the magnetic stripe was needed.

Every time I've been to the US it's still magnetic stripe in places like restaurants/bars where the wait staff whisk your card away and then 4 days later the charge ends up appearing on your card.

I saw chip and pin (or sometimes the odd chip and sign) appearing in the big shops/chains like walgreens though so I guess it's slowly changing.

It felt a bit like what the UK was like 15-20 years ago.
There are some players with fairly deep pockets on the other side as well. Nobody on the scale of Apple or Google, perhaps, but not mom-n-pop shops either. Plus if I were Microsoft or Amazon, I would be salivating at the chance to run an alternate store on iOS and Android, so there could be some dark money flowing through K Street lobbyists for all we know.
100%!

It's the first and probably only RTS game where I don't even care about my individual units and just send them en mass to the front line automatically. I literally count on the wreckage of the dead units to clog up the spaces where I am defending. In some sense the game is not tactical at all but really more about strategy and economy planning. There is very little micromanagement on my part and I love it.
I don't mean to rag on you in particular. The answers I get around privacy problems are always conjecture. "Perhaps" the insurance company will do x, "Maybe" they will do y.

It's always some scary threat that could happen in the future. The problem is though that the powers that be (government/corporate) already have more private information than ever before and yet: nothing has happened.

At what point do these warnings just become crying wolf?
Can Autopilot work in heavy rain or fog? If not, those comparisons are useless. Those are the conditions where most accidents occur, not in sunny Californian weather.
Hi! Thank you for the direct feedback. I am not sure I got your point correctly, so I would kindly ask to share my point of view below.

Awesomic stands for empowering creative design community from Europe, Ukraine in particular (where we are from). These are not only "good designers", but really great and vetted talents that delivered creative work for 500+ global companies already. More than 90 of them are YC companies we truly respect and are inspired by.
For example, we have the designer with several Red Dot Award, a German international design prize awarded since 1955.

These are the people I truly respect.

You know how to break it?

With modern tooling.

Instead of forcing devs to live in the pre-historic days of C dialects and printf debugging, provide polyglot IDEs with graphical debugging tools capable of single step GPU shaders and a rich libraries ecosystem.

Khronos got the message too late and now no one cares.

Yea, the Achilles Heel of contactless (or phone/NFC) in the USA is the uncertainty that it's supported and the terrible UX for failure cases. How many times have you had this happen?

Your groceries are all rung up and the POS terminal is waiting. You dig out your phone or contactless card and try to invoke the contactless payment system. Nothing's happening. You wave it around a little. Still nothing. Grocery cashier is looking at you like you're an idiot nerd, saying "That thing doesn't work. Just stick the card in the slot." Now I dig in my wallet looking for my chip card as the whole line behind me huffs about how much of a moron I am. Stick it in the POS terminal, and it waits... and waits... and waits... and finally, loudly proclaims BONK BONK BONK transaction approved. Everyone other than me is saying "Finally, we can move on".

Contrast that with mag swipe: Pull out the card. Swipe it (which takes 500ms). Done.

Finance in London is very hot at the moment, there is a lot of hiring going on and substantial upside available for talented individuals. Why not start speaking to recruiters and see if you can find a better and more exciting team? Stay way from banks, focus on funds and HFTs.

PnL wise, a lot of firms are starting up coming off a bumper 2020 year. It sounds like fundamentally your problem is being in a bad team/firm that you are not excited to work with. On a good team, you should be getting in to work early feeling pumped that you are all going to smash it today. If you don’t have that feeling, just find a new team.

You mentioned that your partners job is more stressful. Would suggest seeking out a more stressful job for yourself. The low stress jobs in finance are not fun, interesting or lucrative, while the high stress jobs can be all three.

Also, through Brexit, the EU have successfully caused many firms to put Real Jobz in other capitals like Amsterdam, Dublin, or Paris. It sounds like you might enjoy the lifestyle in one of those cities better than London.
This looks very good. Does it work with neovim?

Cool project. Confusing headline. They made models to help research land management strategies that would be potentially helpful for bees.
Gas stations around me (Utah) have all replaced their magstripe with a dual magstripe/chip reader. It drives me nuts though, because you still have to insert your card ALL THE WAY IN as if you're using the mag stripe, and then it decides which one to use.

Are gas stations not a big target for skimmers? Why didn't they design it to avoid the magstripe-skimmers? have two inserts or something, I don't care. But now we're a FULL generation of gas station pumps away from being free'd from skimmers. I just don't understand.

Also, don't get me started on the audio/video ads at the pump these days. They're the worst. I'd rather have to pay inside than have "while you're pumping" ads.
> pumping out drone ships with preprogrammed flight paths, which would engage any hostiles they encounter then resume flights.

I love the idea of being able to program a collection of routines which you can change the parameters of, or swap in and out, depending on how the battle is progressing.

There's probably a danger, though, that by making the programming language/runtime too capable, the game ends up being "solved" or at least ends up only leaving boring work for the human to do.

Why are you ignoring the obvious examples of operating systems? An Operating System doesn't and shouldn't crash if you run out of memory.

Additionally I have personal experience with network appliances (firewalls/deep packet inspection/etc). If such a device runs out of memory, it degrades gracefully (unless there's a bug) and starts shedding connections rapidly to avoid running out of memory. Such devices can't just restart if they run out of memory as that would be a network outage and can often be exploited to cause a more serious denial of service attack.

Rust is a system's language. Handing out of memory conditions is par for the course for systems programming.
This shouldn't be news, tons of apps do this; I suspect it's for something like Chromecasting, maybe it collects telemetry too?, either way not at all specific to TikTok.
Unfortunately not. I simply realized later that my application design was conceptually similar to ECS. I could walk you through it over a Zoom, though.
Half the fun with friends in college is because everybody is broke.
Signature requirement has gone away in the US (and Mastercard was also the first to do that was well).

Just so many merchants are accomplished to asking for it (or haven't updated their terminals to code for not asking for it) - which is why you still encounter it.
I wasn't aware of that mode. Is there a way of figuring out if your card has NFC (EMV Mode), or is just blasting out the CC number/expiration date when powered up via induction?
To use one of your examples, the occupation of Japan was from 1945 to 1952, less than 10 years. Allied occupation of Germany was even shorter, at less than 5 years.

So, in short, no, it does not take decades.
Anki is great... however:

... having used it for the last 4 years to try to memorize vocabulary in certain languages (Spanish & French, recently started Chinese), I think it's a base layer... (much like how Bitcoiners like to talk about BTC's Blockchain). Reasons:

1. I've tired of it. I need a layer that makes me excited to use it.

2. I've found it far-far less useful for learning other things than rote vocabulary memorization. It needs a layer that makes it easy to store and "pull up" everything I need to know.

That said, I don't want to sound like I'm looking a gift-horse in the mouth. Anki truly is a great piece of software, and my sincere thanks to the devs.
That's a bit of a shame, the search continues then

Cheers for finding out for me regardless
Have you taken a look at YC’s latest batch?

The most exciting and truly beneficial work for humanity is not being done by YC startups.

Granted, YC =\= Silicon Valley, but it’s one of the highest profile investors and is one most people would probably associate with Silicon Valley.
Is there no way that you and/or your partner could switch to remote work? At least in the U.S., remote working is sweeping the industry. Failing that, could you get a remote job for a U.S. company?

If none of the above, is your relationship serious enough that your partner would be willing to sustain both of you on their salary alone? Could you quit your job, take some time off to recuperate, and then find a job you don't hate, even if it pays much less?

If none of those options work, and it just comes down to "my partner is unwilling to leave the city and I can't possibly be happy here", then it may just not be a workable relationship. Though before jumping to that conclusion, I'd have an honest heart-to-heart with them and tell them how you feel. It could be that you're more important to them than their career; you never know until you ask.

Best of luck.
As someone who has used Autopilot extensively, I can tell you: you only have the illusion of enhanced safety. In reality, parts of your brain have shut down to save energy, and you've lost some situational awareness, but you can't tell that's happened.
Couldn't find the exact card, but here's an example from my neighbors if anyone's interested. I guess it's not a thing everywhere yet.

> It's annoying because it's not like other permissions

Normally if I want to use a permission, say location, I need to provide a value for given permission in my app's `info.plist` file, and if I don't and the app tries to grab the current location, it crashes with logs yelling at me to provide a description for the location privacy key.

With local network permissions it's different.

I've never had to do any local networking in my career as an iOS dev so downloaded Apple's peer to peer example app (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/network/building_a...) and removed the `Privacy - Local Network Usage Description` key/value pair from the `info.plist` file and ran the app on my device.

I fully expected a crash with a description telling me to add this key but iOS just filled in the missing description with a default value and asked away. I wonder why that permission is treated differently from the rest?
Thanks, you just confirmed to me that I want a Remarkable. This looks like it was written by future me.

I need a no-hassle, no-distraction, no-fiddling paper-on-steroids replacement. An iPad just seems like it is too much for this. I like that the Remarkable is "limited" in this respect.
Again, this is an ad-hom. I didn't claim something was true because Greenwald believes it - I linked to an article addressing the topic, so you can address the content of that article, rather than its author.

> He quit his job at the intercept because they wouldn't let him publish conspiracy garbage ... unless he could provide some sort of proof

doesn't seem to match up with

> just because the guy died of a stroke afterward doesn't mean it wasn't caused indirectly by being blasted in the face by bear mace

where's the proof? various outlets already back-peddled on the claim he was hit in the head with a fire extinguisher, they have yet to prove anything with regards to bear mace (other than two men carried it).

> Even if his death was completely unrelated, it doesn't make Jan 6 any less of an insurrection.

You stated an officers death as evidence of the level of violence. I don't believe this was true, and I think it does make it less of an insurrection.
Which ones?

The big yearly franchises rake in tons of cash, just as superheroes do at the movie theatre. But if you go a bit deeper, the situation is more mixed. Bioshock Infinite just about bankrupted Irrational Games, for instance, despite being very well-received.
I remember reading that viewpoint in this essay: https://cyclingtips.com/2018/11/commentary-why-i-stopped-wea...

there are some sources and studies linked. i.e. countries with the highest rate of helmet use also have the highest cyclist fatality rates
Where do you live? I haven't seen a card terminal that can't do chip in like 15 years. The old terminals that need to be upgraded are the ones that can't do contactless but even those are rare. A card terminal that can only do magnetic seems really alien and ancient.

All the maps I played and saw in the map selector were really small. The couple of single player campaign missions I played through seemed to be a couple of large hills and nothing more.

And scale is an issue because I hate the tacticality of small-scale RTS games. I find tactical-scale gameplay incredibly boring. That is my biggest complaint/disappointment with Starcraft, Dawn of War, C&C, etc, and why TA and SupCom are #1 in my book.

Besides, micromanagement turns these games into actions-per-second showdowns, and that misses the point of RTS games entirely. I much prefer a more relaxed pace and being able to focus on strategy.

Can you recommend a couple of large scale maps that support multiple factions duking it out with hundreds or thousands of units per side?
It is a good question and I don’t design inverters so I don’t really know.

I imagine an inverter with one solar panel behind it can’t muster enough oomph to back feed a sizable chunk of distribution network - if it tried it would not be able to maintain nominal voltage. Say the load of the neighborhood is 500 kW, that’s 1200 A at 240V, which the inverter can’t supply unless there is 500 Kw of solar panels behind it. The 500kw load at 240V looks like a 0.2 ohm resistor to the inverter - essentially a short. Actually looking at the impedance of the network is one technique protection relays use to detect line faults.

Maybe the inverter can’t sustain the nominal voltage when feeding essentially a short so the voltage will be less then nominal and then it knows it is operating outside or normal conditions.

I can’t imagine a scenario in which the inverter could maintain nominal voltage at its terminals with a 0.2 ohm load looking out, if there is 240V across 0.2 ohm then there is 1200A through the 0.2 ohm.

In summary despite putting out voltage it will not be able to maintain the desired terminal voltage.

For frequency I understand most grid tie inverters somehow follow the grid frequency as opposed to generating their own.
Tesla marketed Autopilot != responsibly implemented assistive safety systems.
The new Toyota RAV4's have this feature-- if you go out of bounds in your lane they beep and the steer5ing wheel gives a bit of resistance.

It also reads the speed limit signs and places a reminder in the display. I think it can brake if it detects something in front of it, but I'm not certain.
