>> The safety agency informed Tesla weeks ago that it was looking into the spate of crashes in which Tesla vehicles operating on Autopilot failed to detect stopped emergency vehicles with flashing lights. The regulator originally said it was looking into 11 such crashes. A 12th occurred on Saturday, when a Model 3 hit a police cruiser that had stopped behind a car that had broken down on an interstate in Orlando, Fla.

> 12 crashes into vehicles with flashing lights on them doesn't sound like great success from Autopilot, gonna be honest.

It's really surprising what people will put up with. IIRC, recently "autopilot" had some regressions in the situations it could handle, and Elon Musk tweeted something to the effect of "Yeah, this version sucks since we're retraining all our NNs."

Like how did something that half-baked ever make it to production in a safety critical system?
> Think multiple millions lines of code here. The use case is closer to "find me all the variables of this type or a type derived from it in all the projects at Facebook" than "go to this definition in the project I'm currently editing".

You keep insisting, that I am calling people names. I am describing my opinions on wearing group symbols and am trying to clarify, why I think so.

Smart people can do stuff that I think of as stupid. It is obvious that everybody can call themselves a fan if they like too. I would ask: If there is no actual commitment to a group, why would you even want to show your participation?

The dual bus design makes sense as NEC did the same for the V-series. Coupled with the right microcode, it can greatly enhance the speed of the FPU. So why then is the bus expanded to 74-bits for the mantissa? In the 80187 and 80387 this bus is still only 68-bits. We look to the design of NECs follow on FPU for the answer. The upd72291 (and its 32-bit bus 72691 version) are rather different beasts, made for the the V33/V53 x86 CPUs and V60/V70/V80 non x86-CPUs. We’ll talk about them in more detail later, but they share the same 74-bit mantissa as the 72191, and in this case, the designers wrote a paper on its design.
Yes the details are important; if you are so inclined to trace the reasoning all the way back to the axioms, thankfully they are very easy to understand! And doing so would definitely prepare them for epistemology. There's a reason that physics leans heavily on category theory.

Is anyone afraid this is going to lead to nuclear war? Or an engagement that destroys us?

This feels much riskier than the Cold War. The mood of that time was one where school children practiced ducking under their desks in preparation for nuclear attack.

China isn't a weak adversary, and they really hate us according to their propaganda and rhetoric.

They have hypersonic nuclear weapons and could possibly pull off a first strike against our nuke sites. If they can also track our subs, maybe they'd try to disable us.

Their navy and armament are rapidly approaching parity. With their economy, it'll likely surpass us.

We aren't the manufacturing power house that won WWII and churned out naval ships on a weekly basis anymore. China is, and they have a ton of dry docks busy building right now.

Frats and sororities seek out Affinity to license their trademarks, it's not like Affinity really owns the Greek alphabet or something nefarious like that.

That kind of seems silly to me that you expected to do that without giving the org any value/money back.

Ask HN: Do non .NET shops also use Azure?
I am currently evaluating different clouds and I am not sure if I should pay much attention to Azure given that we are not a typical .NET shop.

I have worked with .NET in the past and know that most ".NET shops" normally work on a very Microsofty vertical stack. SQL Server, Azure, Windows Servers, IIS, .NET, C#, Entity Framework, etc., however I haven't programmed in .NET for a very long time and I'm not sure if Azure is a good fit for a mostly Node, Python and Go team?

Does anyone have much experience with Azure from a complete non .NET perspective? I wonder what is the support for SDKs in other langages like. Are they any good? Do Azure services have good support for Node, Python and Go? For example in GCP I can debug Go code directly from the console and I wonder if Azure offers similar features or if they have most things tailored to .NET only?

I know that AWS works great with any language so I wanted to ask shall we just stick with AWS or is there a good case for switching to GCP or Azure?
That is very beautiful :)
Yes you're right, we know that DNA is inert and used as a storage device by an organism.

What we don't know is how an organism with no intelligence (cell), could develop code (DNA), archive it, rehydrate it and then parse and copy it like someone with intelligence.

Without getting too deep into it, it's just not convincing anymore to appeal to vast amounts of time and random chance to do something which is fundamentally within the realms of engineering.
The purpose of this article is to present a simple way of looking at what Git really is and what it really does. I do not claim that this way of looking at Git represents absolute “facts” in any hard and fast or literal sense. But I contend that if you conceive of Git in the way that I’m going to suggest, if you substitute these conceptions of Git for any misconceptions you might have now, you’ll be a much happier and more fluid Git user. When posed with a puzzle as to what happened, what will happen, what you should do in order to make a certain thing happen, the answer might suddenly be obvious, where previously it wasn’t.

Sorry, but what? Specifically: what about your writing justifies the assertion that git is simple? Git is a horrible convoluted set of commands to make a lot of different data structures [1] interact. And if you do it wrong you can get into very weird states. This is not simple in any meaningful sense of the word!

Heck, "a monoid in the category of endofunctors" is simpler.

[1] From the top of my head: The working tree, the index, the stash, the repo ADG, the local remote repo ADG, the remote repo ADG. Of course the branch labels are further state, and working with the commits directly is discouraged. Oh and files can be either tracked or not, and they can either be ignored or no. And one isn't a subset of the other. And that also interacts with the various state transitions.
The bigger Spanish banks are surprisingly large. Going by Wikipedia[0], there's three Spanish banks in the top 20 largest in Europe, and only one German bank. And Santander is a chunk bigger than Deutsche at that. In fact, when measured by revenue, Santander is about as big as BNP.

Sizes aside, the fact that Spain got this many banks on board this project is in and of itself pretty noteworthy. The fact that there are so few participating countries is also pretty interesting.

The way I tried to understand Git at first was like Subversion. Horrible. I almost deleted everything my team worked on for weeks.

Then I read "git inside out" [1] (not to be confused by "git from the bottom up" which I think is not as good), had a "aha!" moment, my view changed and everything became clear and easy. Transformation from graph to graph is something I do every day, so why not in Git?

Sometimes you just want your tool to get out of your way and get the job done, instead of deeply understanding it. No shame in that. There are limited hours in the day and sometimes other things are more important.
There was a time when there was world-famous literature written in German, important scientific papers were written in German, German movies and music were successful internationally. That’s almost completely over. Today the German language is a problem for the relevancy of German culture. Outside the German speaking countries, There is little demand for works produced in German or translated to English, because something always gets lost in translation. Most Germans do not speak English well enough to produce relevant work in English. So we’re just wasting whole generations’ potential. They are doomed to create internationally irrelevant works.

I've had a 15" 2017 MacBook Pro for 4 years or so. I baby it and keep it in an elevated stand. I always use an attached keyboard to not hurt the butterfly keys. Always keep it in a hard case to prevent bending during transport.

The dang thing is falling apart like an old farm truck held together with baling twine. Battery has swollen up, the touch bar is 75% dead and blinking like crazy, battery warnings whenever I disconnect power, overheats all the time and throttles to a crawl...

This is compared to my budget $600 ASUS which is happily chugging along 10 years later with the original battery and I treat it like a rented mule. Toss it in a backpack and set a bunch of junk on top and it's like "Psh!"

Apple has used up all it's credibility with me with regards to their MacBooks. Their stuff is fragile. No amount of care seems to keep it running properly. They gaslight the heck out of their users too which makes them seem shady too.

It was only a few years ago that I started digging deep and learning about China's dominance in almost every aspect of geopolitics (economy, military, supply chain, media influence, political influence, cultural influence, etc) and I wondered why the US seemingly did nothing to combat any of this. It was not too long ago when Xi promised Obama he wouldn't militarize islands in the South China Seas and then years later, bunkers and missile defenses started showing up in satellite imagery [1].

Then I learned that all of the world and US corporations, financial and political elite depended or were heavily invested in China. That was the moment I realized the US was dead and the next few decades of global dominance would belong to the Chinese.

Perhaps you are thinking of something else, but Emirates Id requires a resident visa, so its definitely not something for tourists!
> People in South Australia will be forced to download an app that combines facial recognition and geolocation. The state will text them at random times, and thereafter they will have 15 minutes to take a picture of their face in the location where they are supposed to be. Should they fail, the local police department will be sent to follow up in person. “We don’t tell them how often or when, on a random basis they have to reply within 15 minutes,” Premier Steven Marshall explained.

Let's see:

* Forced to download an app by the state

* Forced to jump when the state says "jump!"

* Acceding to the concept that there is a state-sanctioned place where everyone is supposed to be (prison colony?)

* Acceding to whatever punishment the police may decide to mete out for failing to confirm that one is where one is supposed to be even if one is already there

That's the thing with slippery slopes. The farther you go down, the more impossible it becomes to climb back up.

As far as I know, tags don't have an identity beyond their name. The CLI tries to steer you away from replacing tags (by naming the option --force rather than, e.g., --modify), but that doesn't make them immutable.

Speaking about the subway, I used to commute taking various types of trains and walking, and the wires were always in the way of my normal movements. I can't say how many times the earphones ended up unplugged, often painfully, also meaning everyone could now hear what I had been listening to—which felt like an invasion of my privacy as well as an annoyance to others. Even sitting (train, work desk, etc), I can't count how many times this has happened to me.

I think the issue is that once you become a monopoly (as Apple's store is: users choose--for any number of reasons where this is frankly likely only one small one where they might be as pissed off as anyone else--between two stores that also-frankly have similar terms anyway, meaning they don't really have a choice anyway, but then developers can't choose: they are held hostage to access that market), you lose some of the "rights" you have as there is no way to compete on terms. If Apple were to separately say "you can either build on UIKit and Metal, in which case we take 30% of your revenue... or you could use HTML and OpenGL, in which case, well, good luck?" then I think a lot of developers would avoid Apple's frameworks... and if they could explain why to the user--that every time you buy a movie from us you are spending an additional $1 for the UI framework Apple is providing--they would agree wholeheartedly, as that shit adds up fast.
You can change employers but you can't (practically for most people) change your government. That's the big difference and why the comparison isn't very useful.
> By this point, there must be 1M+ incidents of Tesla vehicles passing roadside emergency vehicles in an adjacent lane.

> 12 crashes is 12 crashes too many, statistically speaking, but it's also a tiny tiny percentage of the total number of cases.

That perspective is little more than spin. Most serious flaws are like that.

Any failure that isn't a "tiny tiny percentage of the total number of cases" is pretty serious. If it was even a small percentage (say 0.01%), Tesla autopilot would be banned from the road, and maybe Elon Musk would go to jail (or at least Tesla would probably get bankrupted) for releasing such a hazardous product.
Any system with a limited amount of concepts is simple. Emergent properties are easy to predict and explore. Physics of "perfect friction-less sphere in vacuum" is so easy to understand we teach in grade schools and toddlers grasp it by instinct.

I can't (yet) reason about monoids easily. But I can reason about Git, even if I can't figure out the single command to change the state the way I want it and have to resort to multiple commands. I guess it's easier for me to think in graphs.

Their navy is approaching ours in terms of tonnage. But they're lacking in carriers at the moment.

This means that their navy can work anywhere with good missile/air force support. But they lack the ability to force project outward.

Aircraft Carriers and the F35. How can they find our ships at sea, if their drones get shot down? How can they prevent us from finding their ships, if we have superior stealth?

If they can't see our ships, how can they attack, even with a hypersonic nuclear warhead? Aircraft carrier move at 35+ mph and turn on a dime. If it takes 10 minutes for a hypersonic nuclear warhead to be delivered to a location, the aircraft carrier is already 6-miles off target.
