This "article" is an amazing stretch, but I have shared Carmack's sentiment myself for many years. Although I finally just gave up and paid for the MCU upgrade, it always bothered me that (eMMC issue aside) Tesla couldn't get a Tegra 2 to run a slippy map and a music player without eating dirt. The Intel MCU hardware also frequently lags and stutters and locks up for a long time doing certain things like showing the car manual or browser.

Tesla owners need to stop giving the company a pass on their poor performing UI. Now you know why they really have a "gaming pc" in there!
Or they clicked on a trending topic on the wrong day.

Or they read an article about one twitter group bashing another twitter group and clicked on one of the tweets.

There's no path from toxic Twitter to constructive Twitter, but there are thousands of paths the other way.

Which can only mean that toxic twitter is where Twitter wants its users, so it seems like you're using twitter wrong in their view.
"Just" sleeping behind the wheel? I can't imagine not calling emergency services if I ever saw something liked that.

I still think that true level 5 ... requires AGI

I agree today's AI tech is a long way off from completely supplanting a human driver. I'm surprised the average consumer I talk to about this seems to think we're on the cusp.

But as vehicles with neural nets become more prevalent I expect we'll see the problem morph as it gets tackled from other angles as well. e.g. Self-driving corridors with road infrastructure aimed to improve AI safety (whether that be additional technology, modified marking standards, etc).

Once upon a time street signs with speed limits, curve warnings, and such didn't exist. After faster cars supplanted horse-drawn carriages, highways became a thing. Eventually when the only reason humans drive is for recreation (e.g. off-roading) the problem from the car's perspective will look somewhat different than it did during the transition.
Erm, Quite.
This scares me. Here in Canada, the government scrambled to put "printed" cash into motion, and inflation is already having real impacts... Particularly on poor people. I worry we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. The same thing happened in the USA, but I suspect our economy here is less resilient to fluctuations.
The lane demarcation on the freeway south from San Francisco is so bad that it frequently confuses me, and I've been driving on it for 20 years.

> Delta remains handled by current mRNA

Depends what you mean by "handled". Per the CDC [1]:

> [vaccine efficiency at preventing infection] declined from 91% before predominance of the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant to 66% since the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant became predominant

Per OP:

> Because the Delta variant is spreading so explosively, it has already acquired numerous additional mutations in the spike protein coding region, suggesting that the Delta variant will continue to acquire further mutations.

> A third round of booster immunization with the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine is currently under consideration. Our data suggest that repeated immunization with the wild-type spike may not be effective in controlling the newly emerging Delta variants.

The illegality is also inconvenient, but how likely are the cops or whoever are going to inconvenience them about that?

For the bandits the disabled TVs is no big deal because they'll probably manage to sell them to "bargain hunters" anyway.
Should add that unlike any professional oath or body, Catholic priests will literally die before breaking the Confessional Seal. They will never follow any government or politician order to break it, and even the Pope himself cannot order them to do so. Many have gone to jail or been martyred keeping the Seal (as listed a bit lower in the same article).
> Slack does not support syntax highlighting of code blocks.

It does, but only if you make your code block into its own post as a "text snippet." (I assume this is because Slack's internal markup doesn't allow regions to have parameterized metadata, but there is parameterized metadata at the chat-post-event level.)

You also get other benefits of doing this, e.g. being able to collapse the snippet, download it, etc. Code pasted into Slack should really always be pasted as a snippet. I just wish it auto-detected you were trying to do that and offered to make a snippet.

Not at all relevant to my point. I was speaking very specifically of art and artists. We could get into similar issues with the morality of consumption and the role of government, but given how you reacted to my comment I can only guess it wouldn't be a very interesting discussion.

I didn't say anything about the stock market. Reckless decisions made by rich banks and financiers should not effect anyone but themselves, let alone cause economy-wide crises that hurt regular people.

Could you imagine if I went off to Macau to play a high stakes game of poker, lost, and as a result, you lost your job and the government staked me in my next poker game? That's pretty much what happened.
I think the point is that the general public is fickle and their trust in self driving cars is tentative. If the public loses confidence in the technology it will make it very difficult for them to roll it out. So this isn't really about what HN thinks, it's about what HN predicts the general public will think.
Yes. That's what I'm talking about. Not carrier unlock. Bootloader unlock is blocked until the phone is fully paid off (if purchased under loan), and I believe T-Mobile requires a 40 day wait before bootloader unlock is allowed even if you pay in full upfront, and I think Verizon prohibits it completely. Google enforces these rules on their devices and requires the phone to connect to Google to authorize bootloader unlocking. It's an automated version of the manual bootloader unlock codes that some manufacturers do.
Thanks for including this!

It could work if the car had gone on enough trips, it wasn't clear which one was the important one. Maybe someone is sending the car out every day to hide their tracks.
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of HN'er count a coffee shop or something as their "third place." For me, the cafe at the Barnes & Noble near my apartment is basically my "third place". Well... more like "second place" right now due to pandemic induced WFH status, but you get the idea.
You know, this is one of those things that would go away with the snap of a finger if the leaders cared about their country. Okay it's harder than that because the IMF is completely backwards but let's assume that the Venezuelan government was willing to listen and the IMF actually understood economics. It wouldn't take a year to fix the problem. Shortages may last longer because the real world is slow.
I agree, the functions story with .NET 5 is a right pain in the arse at the moment. I understand why it's happened, but I want my .NET 5 durable functions!
~10% is more what I've seen. The biggest gain came from actually putting effort into getting lots of offers and negotiating well. This lead to an offer that was 2.75x my pay at the time. I ended up taking one that was lower (a mere 2.25x), but after stock growth, refreshers, and a base pay increase (without a promotion) that has gone up to 4x.

A 3% increase for an actual promotion is insulting. You're probably getting hosed already and could get a step function increase if you looked elsewhere and interviewed / negotiated properly. If you decide to do this, let me know, and I can give you some advice.
I told you the law: RICO.

> The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization. The RICO Act focuses specifically on racketeering and allows the leaders of a syndicate to be tried for the crimes they ordered others to do or assisted them in doing, closing a perceived loophole. For example, before RICO, a person who instructed someone else to murder could be exempt from prosecution because they did not personally commit the crime.[1]

I, for one, am not getting into a car fight with our robot overlords.
I don't dispute anything in the Washington post link you sent, perhaps we are just reading it differently. I didn't think that it supported your position. Here's some of the poignant WHO statements from that article, made between Dec 31 to Jan 20 at the start of the pandemic:

> The WHO is heavily reliant on information provided by countries and cannot fine countries that fail to provide accurate information.

> However, because at the time there were as yet no cases of the disease in Taiwan, we could not state directly and conclusively that there had been human-to-human transmission

> Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses with some causing less-severe disease, such as the common cold, and others more severe disease such as MERS and SARS. Some transmit easily from person to person, while others do not. According to Chinese authorities, the virus in question can cause severe illness in some patients and does not transmit readily between people.

> Based on the preliminary information from the Chinese investigation team, no evidence of significant human-to-human transmission and no health care worker infections have been reported

> Based on experience with SARS and MERS ... protect health workers recommending droplet and contact precautions when caring for patients, and airborne precautions

> At this stage, there is no infection among healthcare workers, and no clear evidence of human to human transmission.

> The way these patients became infected is not yet known.

> based on the available information there is no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission

> Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission

> It is still early days, we don’t have a clear clinical picture

> There is the possibility that transmission can be amplified. Most notably in health-care facilities

> some limited human-to-human transmission occurring between close contacts

> It is now very clear from the latest information that there is at least some human-to-human transmission of #nCoV2019. Infections among health care workers strengthen the evidence for this

So it looks to me like the WHO is in the position of relaying the data they get from China. They said this. They also relayed other very relevant info about the behaviour or other coronaviruses, saying that human-to-human transmission could go either way. Furthermore they relayed new information as it became available.

I don't see any of this as an indication that they were bought and paid for. Do you assume that the WHO could force their way into places the Chinese government wouldn't allow them? That's not how international organizations work.

It would make more sense if you suspected that the Chinese were witholding data. But you haven't provided any evidence that WHO did.

As that's basically a confirmation for what we've believed would never be enforced, I decided to not work on the cordless project anymore. I'll be taking down cordless in package managers in hope that no new users will install it anymore without knowing the risks. I believe that if you manage to build it yourself, you've probably read the README and are aware of the risks. I'll keep the repository up, but might archive it at some point. And yes, you'll still be able to use existing binaries for as long as discord doesn't introduce any more breaking changes. However, be aware that the risk of getting a ban will only get higher with time!

a very complex looking behavior sometimes comes from the very simple easy to implement principles, like say a bird flock behavior https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flocking_(behavior)#Rules

I don't believe people are using their full AGI when driving (and the full "AGI" may as well happen to be a set of basic pattern matching capabilities which we haven't discovered yet). After decades of driving the behavior is pretty automatic, and when presented with complex situation following a simple rule, like just brake, is frequently the best, or close to it, response.

Maybe one difference is with the economy there is a lot more obvious benefit to be had for almost any person to expect (pretend?) there won't be a crash. For earthquakes, challenging the seismologists only benefits the niche group of real estate developers. While the cost of worrying about earthquakes is relatively little ostensibly.

I'd heard some argument that humans inherent tolerance for risk is much lower than it rationally should be today because it was evolved in an environment where we were much more likely to get killed. I think human discourse is constantly grappling with that biased instinct.
I looked at the k-nucleotide, n-body, etc and saw nothing out of the ordinary in terms of C#.

There wasn’t even a lot of “modern C#” low level optimization like ref-structs/spans and similar. It actually looks like there is quite a bit of performance from C#8, 9, 10 left on the table.
You know, you keep saying what socialism isn't. I agree with you that rspoerri's definition is too expansive, but we could have a more useful discussion if you supplied a definition, instead of just saying "no, that isn't it". (And "crack a book" isn't a definition.)

A MongoDB shard isn't necessarily a single-point-of-failure since a shard is usually deployed as a replica set. If a shard's primary node goes down, a secondary node in the replica set is elected as a primary and takes reads + writes. Similar to what you mentioned for Scylla - a node can go offline on a shard in a MongoDB cluster and it keeps humming.
The problem was that everyone was in on it. I spoke to quite a few people in that time period, from mortgage brokers to borrowers to bankers. They all knew what was happening. A friend tried to sell me on getting a NINJA loan (No Income, No Job, No Assets) where, I was told "just tell them any number for your income on the application." It was all done with a wink and nod and everyone in the pipeline knew what was happening.

When there's a collective acquiescence to large-scale fraud, who gets thrown in the clink? The bigger question should be how did the sytem evolve to the point where all of this was made possible?
It's fraud to materially misrepresent a security [1].

EDIT: In Goldman's case (from the URL citation):

Goldman Sachs - SEC charged the firm with defrauding investors by misstating and omitting key facts about a financial product tied to subprime mortgages as the U.S. housing market was beginning to falter. (4/16/10)

Goldman Settled Charges - Firm agreed to pay record penalty in $550 million settlement and reform its business practices. (7/15/10)

Fabrice Tourre (mentioned above) Found Liable - A jury found former Goldman Sachs Vice President Fabrice Tourre liable for fraud relating to his role in a synthetic collateralized debt obligation tied to subprime residential mortgages. (8/1/13)

A U.S. judge ordered former Goldman Sachs Group Inc trader Fabrice Tourre to pay more than $825,000 after a jury found him liable for defrauding investors in a subprime mortgage product that failed during the financial crisis.

My point was that the things they're calling fixed-rate mortgages are in fact not fixed-rate mortgages.
I don't trust it now, and wouldn't have in 2009 either.

I trust the US dollar because it is very stable. There's a crisis now because we're looking at roughly 5% year-over-year inflation compared to a goal of 2% -- meanwhile crypto swings 10% every damn day!

Below are some of the key tenets of socialism:

1. Public or collective ownership of the means of production

2. Central planning of the economy

3. Emphasis on equality and economic security

4. Goal of reducing class distinctions

( from: https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/082014/what-... )

And what happened?

1. The goverment decided to bail the banks, the goverment is _the_ public institution.

2. It was central planning "preventing the world economy from crashing" that lead to this decision.

3. not really equality, but economic security was one of the reasons.

4. ... no thats doesnt apply to the banks bailout.

Security is certainly one of the reasons to use WASM, the ability to run it in a sandbox means that untrusted user code can be uploaded to Fluvio's Streaming Processing Units and do the processing inline, rather than on the client side. This can save big on network bandwidth, especially with a dataset where filtering whittles down a lot on volume.

Other reasons include that WASM is a fast and portable bytecode format and that there is very good tooling and support for compiling Rust to WASM as well as embedding WASM runtimes in Rust, which works well for Fluvio as it's written in Rust.

Here's another post with a bit more detail about some of the design and motivational factors if you're interested: https://www.infinyon.com/blog/2021/06/introducing-fluvio/#fl...
> the bodies in elderly homes

There weren't literal piles of bodies there, only metaphorical ones, which are difficult to photograph even if you are able to gain access to the site.

“Elderly homes” were a source of bodies, not an accumulation point (the big rigs were an accumulation point of bodies, including the ones coming from elderly homes.)

This strikes me as rose-tinted nostalgia, along with straight up misinformation/weasel words. “Elders are shipped off to special-purpose holding facilities?” Really?

That’s just not a good-faith statement.

Younger people meet friends through work and school. Some of them – gasp – even know their neighbors!

But let’s be clear here: for even very close friends it’s often not preferable to burden them with my deepest chronic mental issues. They aren’t professionals and they don’t know how to approach those problems.

On top of that, there are negatives to that “village” system. Namely, peer pressure, shunning, gossip, etc. Sure, I want to confide in my family and friends, but there’s a line I won’t cross where a skilled, neutral, confidential party is the better choice.

I see the professionalization of mental health help to be an overall good thing. If I don’t trust my neighbor to help fix the engine control unit in my car why would I trust my neighbor to help me sort out complex mental health issues and find management tools and medication?

I’d guess that most of my family or neighbors’ or friends’ mental health advice is clinically, verifiably wrong/damaging/counterproductive.
it's insane how fast one can destroy the data in an excel file simply by misunderstanding copy/paste or drag/drop functions, e.g. while you (probably, at least how my excel is configured) can filter your table and then drag the value of one cell down to other cells and the ones that are filtered out are not affected. However, when you think that doing the same for changing the format of the cells (e.g. the background color), you've thought wrong - even the cells that are filtered out are affected.
More middle men means more expensive. Regardless of what you think, you can't cheat the laws of conservation, they're built into the physical structure of our universe.

The speculators want to make money and they don't care how they get that money so they imagine something stupid like a major country adopting it as a reserve currency.

Using El Salvador as an example would be funny because they use Bitcoin as a life raft for remittances, not because the currency is a good fit for day to day transactions.
