These methods for NVC are useful because (a) they decouple analysis from emotions, and (b) they protect the target from feeling attacked, so it is possible for the target to receive the analysis instead of going into defensive mode.

Daniel Dennett takes the paradigm further by adding a prequel, which is to clearly articulate the other person's logic and state of mind empathically first, before going into the analysis. Done well, this enhances possibilities for cooperation because it elevates the status of the receiver through respect, even when, or especially when the parties views are not aligned.

Someone posted the actual project here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28266515 - but since both the url and the title of the OP are specifically about the license, it's not surprising that that was the topic.
For some reason I thought just the living conditions in the Soviet Union were bad; I didn't realize 1984 (the book) is literally modeled after Stalinist Russia. I always assumed thought policing was just a theoretical construct of a technological dystopian future, I didn't know the Soviet government actually did it for decades - and to their best and brightest scientists and thinkers! Interesting article, and interesting parallels to our day. Luckily most of the parallels in modern society are reflected in social media mobs and not the government itself (or we would be in very deep trouble), but it's still a bit disturbing how much power said social media mobs seem to wield over corporations and politicians.
> overly pessimistic and short-sighted

Ok, so a person who is designing and testing components of these systems is pessimistic, but people who are just using theories and idealism are cheerleading, what does that tell you?

Also, it’s not pessimism. It’s just the reality. Automotive engineering has never been sloppier. It’s also never been less complex. It’s ALSO only getting more complex with EV. Be upset about that all you like, but it’s how it is.

So my original point is that anyone who says EVs are less complex is completely dealing with fantasy.

> The only thing that (almost) guarantees good relationships with management is to just do whatever they want even when it is leading the company to ruin, never voice your objections, etc.

This is correct but the implication is that a good career means having the courage to accept the risk of poor relationships with management and to be willing to end an unhealthy relationship.

The "beacon/alerting system" are the signs, and the man in a vest. If the car can't respond to those, then the words "full self driving" should never be used to describe it.
How are supervisors and elected officials making 300k (after all benefits considered) in an area with a high cost of living equal to "police commonly make above 300k"?

Second, it would be absurd to account for extra income to say they make what you're saying. That's like saying a cashier at walmart works three jobs to make an average of 70k a year, so cashiers at walmart commonly make 70k a year.
If it's made from fossil fuel, whether coal, gas or oil, we cannot afford it. Any 'solution' that includes taking carbon out of the ground is not a solution. The fossil fuel industry would love to sell us on blue hydrogen. They would get to keep doing exactly what they're doing, but now with added subsidies to pay for turning it into hydrogen.

Blue hydrogen would be a disaster.
i have a feeling this may be related to prevalence of 'willing" witnesses.
The drivetrain in an EV has fewer components, but you're right about the rest of the car. But it doesn't really matter. Internal combustion engines made in the last 20 years are very reliable. Almost all the weaknesses have been identified and compensated for. I have a Ford Focus that's nearly 20 years old, it still starts and runs like a new car. Has never had a major engine or transmission issue, just a water pump and an alternator or two.

Will electric motors be more reliable than internal combustion engines? Probably. But it's a difference that's not going to be noticable by most people.
> Crops aren't solely viable because of climate -- a large portion of crop-viability is due to soil quality, which is built up over many many years.

I live in a rather less urban area than most HN readers, but I actually don't know all that much about farming.

I'm fascinated about some of the implications of your comments.

Having seen potting soil and fertilizer for sale in greenhouses and garden centers, I've always assumed soil fertility is a portable, manufacturable commodity. That is, if you want to start a farm in a place with the correct climate but unsuitable soil, you can simply buy healthy soil from somewhere else to get started, and then after a while your crops will establish themselves and create a somewhat self-sustaining ecosystem on your fields that only requires input of sunlight, water and nutrients that are commodity chemicals (nitrates and phosphates that can be mined or chemically manufactured).

Where does the bought soil come from? Established farms. Presumably crops have some capability to create soil from barren earth over time, so you can safely harvest and export 5% of your soil a year, or something. Or you can use dedicated compost piles which produce soil from crop / livestock waste. Perhaps occasionally importing rocky / sandy / clay soil to replenish the base mass.

You seem to disagree with this view; your comment instead implies that soil fertility is more fixed, not fungible. I find this interesting, and want to learn more.

Free, reputable password managers are available if you want to separate two different databases. As for work and personal Windows, it's likely that your company covers the licensing cost of their copy.
I mean, that's pretty cool, but who enables password logins for SSH anymore? If I'm an attacker, I'm going to wonder why my target of duress is giving me a password and not a private key; most likely if I have access to my target of duress, then I have access to some kind of client / endpoint that my target uses to connect to the network, and that client will have the SSH private keys likely already loaded into ssh-agent.

Maybe a more modern concept would be to both a) have a duress private key, that triggers duress scripts in the same way, b) an implementation of ssh-agent that adds the duress private key when a duress password is entered?

There are a number of companies that can produce lithography machines, just not on the same level as ASML (at the moment anyway). Even if we ignore any patent/IP and upfront investment issues, designing and actually constructing machines which are on par with ASML's is not an easy task and will take years of research, assuming the project succeeds in the first place. What ASML is doing now is the culmination of years of research and investment and some pretty specific know-how. It's kind of like trying to replicate NASA's James Webb telescope project: many of the basic principles aren't very hard, but actually building the thing is.
>YouTube does not support blocking of individual channels by users, or at least didn't as of the last time I used it whilst logged in (some years ago).

In my own life, I have spent many, many years, dealing with some of the most difficult people on Earth. Many, who have yet to learn the tools of nonviolent (as in "Not picking up a chair, and breaking it over your head" nonviolent) feedback.

There's something to be said for trying to confront someone that could break you in two, has severe psych issues, and Bic-pen-ink tattoos. It sort of helps you to focus on outcomes.

In my experience, starting by laying out a platform of common goals and achievements is always a great icebreaker.

i.e.

ME: "We've really made a lot of progress on the fundraising, but we still have to get the registration packets done, and the catering menus finished, in time for the conference."

I've found that ignoring personal insults and blamethrowing is useful.

BIG BUTCH: "Well, you were so busy riding your high horse, trying to impress Cathy, that you never checked on my team."

ME: "You're right. I should have checked in to see if you could use help. So here we are, and I need your help to deliver the packets to Joe's committee. How can we get this done?"

Note how I sidestepped horses and Cathy? She'd probably be crushed that I ignored her, but she was irrelevant to the conversation.

Also, it always helps to give them some authority and "upper hand."

Then, there is the firing conversation:

ME: "I'm afraid that I can't work with your team, any longer. I've found that I can't be productive in our work. I'll need to find someone else to work with."

There's really no need for "constructive feedback," since The Die Is Cast. If they want that, I am happy to give it, but the main subject needs to be made clear and unambiguous. The relationship is at an end. The time for negotiations and bargaining is over.

I've learned that "weasel words" can be incredibly self-destructive. They leave the appearance of "gaps" that aren't actually there. They are dishonest, and paint me as a coward; which can be taken as weakness. If the decision has been made, then I can't allow it to be second-guessed or misinterpreted. Plain vernacular is worth its weight in gold.

If I need to have a couple of bruisers with billy clubs available, then I can have them file in quietly, after we're settled.

I think that treating people with respect, at all times, is really, really important. Choosing the venue (like not confronting them in front of others) can go a long way towards helping to reach my goals.

Everyone deserves respect; even those that refuse to give me respect.

If you are using forensics in a trial, the validity of the "interpretation" part is key to it's use. The reliability of these interpretations has been historically hugely overstated.

Given this history it is absolutely reasonable to reject most forensic evidence unless there actual good science supporting the reliability of expert interpretations.
Waymo's system doesn't depend on GPS for navigation either. They use their "realtime sensor suite" (lidar) to localize the vehicle position within the map.

As part of that localization, there will be a metric of how good the local solution is vs. the map. If a divider moves, for example, the data will be inconsistent with the map, and the software will know that something is amiss, without having to intelligently classify anything. The software can drive confidently when in a consistent environment, and drive conservatively when in an inconsistent environment.

Generally, any object that isn't in the map will stand out obviously. That's where having stuff like cameras becomes useful. Asking a computer, "is there a construction worker in this 20MP image of a street?" is hard, but asking a computer, "is this 0.1MP human sized blob a construction worker?" is a lot easier. Waymo has been responding intelligently to bicyclist hand signals for years. "Is this sign shaped blob a construction sign?" is even easier.

The lidar and mapping is a key difference between Waymo and Tesla. Waymo works because they have the big data infrastructure, and the budget to deck out every car with orders of magnitude more sensors and compute.
Too bad the clip is fake.
Expecting such an outcome is starkly irrational. Its exact opposite is far more likely, as evidenced by the fact that we're already well down exactly that road to exactly that destination.

You basically are describing big auto's attitude towards Tesla 10 years ago. Look at where big auto is now.

Terrified, and behind by 10 years. And by terrified I mean their CEOs. Do you think the BMW CEO would still have his job if he didn't squander their EV efforts that started about 15 years ago?

The BMW CEO getting bounced was the warning shot that made every automaker executive sit up and realize: my company either has an EV platform program underway, or the investors will bounce me.

If they are still not taking Tesla (to a lesser degree Rivian and Lucid) seriously, they're in big denial at this point.

GM and VW have basically woken up. Ford and Mercedes are toe-dipping. BMW seems paralyzed by internal management dissent,

I think the GP post also points out that some roads are, frankly, terrible. I've had more than a few times where I wasn't clear if the cones were set in such a way that I could continue down the road or not and I've been wrong at least once (though the cop was very understanding after I explained it).

Some randomly placed cones are enough to confuse humans in many circumstances, as well. I doubt we'll ever have an all-encompassing solution for that, either. Even for things like autonomous-only lane, well it's not like everyone obeys the HOV lanes currently...

There probably isn't a perfect solution, especially when I've seen plenty of ambiguous markings.

> We wouldn’t throw “money in/money out” mantras at random bankrupt people (or do we? I can’t tell anymore), we shouldn’t do that to overweight people either.

The entire personal finance sphere is based around this advice. Make a budget, cut costs, get spending under income enough to pay off debt. So yes, we do distill it down to “money in/money out” for people who mismanage their money. Fortunately, when it comes to money it generally is that simple, provided the income is sufficient to maintain the basic necessities of life.

I think the observation vs evaluation examples are sloppy (yes, that’s an evaluation).

I understand this is not a general assessment of the value of observations over evaluations outside of the framework of NVC.
Most of the examples would be perceived - at least by me - as impersonal and dishonest.
Voicing observations such as “you were ten minutes late this morning” to someone who’s knowingly been late already before could be easily perceived as passive aggressive. Passive aggressivity is, I believe, the most subtly violent form of communication, and it really leads to nothing useful or constructive.

Most of the examples read as passive aggressive to me, because you’re renouncing to a very direct evaluation that doesn’t require a specific knowledge framework and present instead your interlocutor with an emotionless remark about their actions.

I think there's more to it (changing the language) than you are crediting it.

First, you don't have to use the new features (though eventually you'll be reading the code of people who did, so this is only half-valuable). There is new c++11 code being written every day -- in volume (a hard to pin down amount) it's sadly more than 50%. The usage surveys don't really capture this clearly (and it's not clear they could).

Second: often new features are for library writers, or are out there for library writers to use (e.g. coroutines, which probably will not be appropriate for many users before c++23, but pretty much need to be available for people to experiment with).

Third: the new features tend to be additive. For example you don't need to use many of the stuff in <algoritm> -- stick to a for loop unless you want to take advantage of some new capability (e.g. policies, which are't ubiquitous). Concepts are the same way: they will improve error messages and reduce bugs, but if you don't use them your code will in 99.9% work just fine. When you see a very simple example that uses concepts, it's not surprising that the concepts don't really improve a simple add function -- the case is deliberately simple for explanatory purposes.

Languages move forward. Even go recently caved and added in generics.
> According to the review the author proposes that there is no essence to things but only relations, but doesn't explain his theory completely.

As someone who loves science popularisers and reads a lot of them, that seems consistent with my experience of The order of time—which I couldn't even finish.

On the other hand, take my perspective with a grain of salt: I was also very much turned off by Hawking and Mlodinow's The grand design, which I think is otherwise very well received. I love Sean Carroll and Brian Greene as popularisers of what can be very inaccessible physics. (Oh, and it was a long time ago, but I loved Lederman's The God particle, much as he regretted his own naming later.)
It happens, especially between closely related species, in both genetic and physical proximity, like monkeys and humans, but it’s rarer between further apart groups. More importantly, it follows patterns (first a few opportunistic infections, then more common ones, then transmission between new hosts) that were not observed with Sars-Cov-2. Hemorrhagic fevers were occasionally described among bushmeat hunters before Ebola became endemic. There were effort to discourage the practice precisely because of a fear of future contamination beyond that small group.

I’m not dismissing that it happen —I can’t imagine you’ve read anything like that in my comment— but the natural origin theory changes our understanding of how fast it can happen.
