The car FSD - aircraft autopilot analogy is deeply flawed, and nowhere near instructive. Let's consider some details:

What aircraft autopilot does is following a pre-planned route to the T, with any changes being input by humans. The aircraft autopilot doesn't do its own detection of obstacles, nor of router markings; it follows the flight plan and reacts to conditions of the aircraft. Even when executing automatic take-off and landing, the autopilot doesn't try to detect other vehicles or obstacles - just executes the plan, safe in knowledge that there are humans actively monitoring for safety. There is always at least two humans in the loop: the pilot in command who prepared and inputed the original flight plan and also inputs any route changes when needed (collision and weather avoidance), and an air traffic controller that continuously observes flight paths of several aircrafts and is responsible for ensuring safe separation between aircraft in his zone of responsibility. Beyond that, an ATController has equal influence on all aricraft in his zone of responsibility, and in case one does something unexpected, it can equally well redirect that one or any other one in vicinity. Lastly, due to much less dense traffic, the separation between aircraft is significantly larger than between cars [1] providing time for pilots to perform evasive maneuvers - and that's in 3d space, where there are effectively two axes to evade along.

Conversely with car FSD - the system is tasked both with following the route, and also with continuously updating the route according to markings, traffic, obstacles, and any contingencies encountered. This is a significant difference in quantity from the above - the law and the technology demands one human in the loop, and that human can only really influence his own car at most. Even worse, due to density of traffic, the separation between cars is quite often on the order of seconds of travel time, making hand-over to driver a much more rapid process.

I am moderately hopeful for FSD "getting there" eventually, but at the same time I'm wary of narrative making unwarranted parallels between FSD and aircraft autopilot.

I second this. I also wish the algorithm would throw a real curveball once in a while too, something completely different to what I have been caught in.
Supply of cars, both new and used, is severely constrained, and the sell off from rental companies didn't make a dent in that.

Right now, I know of dealerships that are selling new cars for ABOVE MSRP. I have gotten a half dozen offers from my local dealership to buy back the used truck they sold me for more than they had sold it to me for.
It's possible to have more than one issue in the world at a time. Cancel culture is destructive and toxic. Gotcha culture can also be destructive and toxic at the same time.
Is it still possible to feed C# code through a translator and have it spit out VB.net?

Not a perfect (or even preferred) solution but before I learned C# it helped me do stuff.

I run into the same issue trying to work with Kotlin. It's gotten to the point where I would just rather write in Java
Correct. The Robinhood disclosures were a fun read with Dogecoin trades (meme coin) being a large portion of their revenue.
Isn't that single threaded?
This brings to mind Mr. Newsome and Mrs. Pelosi doing the same thing. I wish politicians would consider the optics of their actions.

Ask HN: Is Nameko good, and what to use instead if not?
We use Nameko for the communication of all the microservices in our company, but it seems that the framework has been dead for at least a year. Furthermore, it uses eventlet library, which seems to interfere with asyncio. Considering this, are there better alternatives that allow fast and easy development of microservices in Python which provide RPC over RabbitMQ?
I imagine you have some proof or statistics that it's Mexicans doing most of the gun killing/dying in the US? Or am i misunderstanding what you're insinuating?
GitHub recently introduced "Discussions". Issue-like threads basically. Whether they're acceptable for "praise" of the project varies from maintainer to maintainer I'd suppose.
They do have policies against spreading misinformation.
And as I got on YouTube just now, the recommendations are just utter junk. It is a bunch of clickbait on things I don't even like and find annoying and repulsive. This is why I use things like youtube-dl, NewPipe, etc.
> Am I misunderstanding?

Cars disappear over time (they age, get in accidents, etc.) Due to production issues, the replacement construction of cars has dropped dramatically. The rental companies decided to get rid of their buffer with the expectation they would not be used during the pandemic. (Plus, rental companies age out cars naturally)

However, given the limited new cars, they have not rebuilt their fleet as fast as possible.

> C++, unlike Java, is not typically used for cloud development, so I don't think a lot of resources were allocated for the language.

I though most of Google's infrastructure (such as Borg or things like that) was in C++.
I'm doing good over here, thanks for checking my comment history! Good luck to you dude, sounds like you need it.
I don't know what you are expecting. A 200k mile car that lasted ten years before an accident is something I would consider as "well built".

How many miles do you drive each year? What kind of car did you expect to get, and how many miles+years would you expect it to operate at to be considered "well built".
That concern came to mind as I was typing my comment, it doesn't take too many other bits in the case to really compromise airflow. Again assuming it would even have space for the yacht that modern GPUs have become.

I really liked QBasic in the 90's. Its help, debugging functions, and example games you could modify, were amazing to learn programming as a kid.

I also tried some Visual Basic back then, but didn't like it because I loved drawing things with pixels in QBasic (using PSET, CIRCLE, etc..., in e.g. Mode 13h) and VB couldn't do that (at least not any way I knew), only create GUI windows with radio buttons and such, which really disappointed me.
Read it as “video on preppers” and everything still worked for the most part, but you didn’t mention freeze dried food or holsters so figured I read something wrong.
Can home/apartment equipment fill a gas tank of a vehicle?
A human that looks around while driving is still taking in a lot of real-time input from the environment. Assuming they're not a terrible driver they examined the upcoming environment and made a prediction that at their current speed there were no turns, obstacles, or apparent dangers before looking away. If they didn't fully turn their head they can quickly bring their eyes back to the road in the middle of their task to update their situation.

If a GC has to pause the world to do its job there's none of that background processing happening while it's "looking away".
I can't speak to iOS as I'm not a user of it, but an alternative for android users is VPN apps that enable you to block ads, however apps that have such a feature aren't allowed on the play store or offer a feature reduced version to keep Google happy

Sorry for off-topic but notice how long this page is and yet how fast it loads. Why is it so hard to pull off elsewhere on the Web.
> a T1 isn't even available. I can get a 3Mb DSL connection

3Mbps DSL is faster than a T1. That speed also suggests you're 3-4 miles from a CO, so it's not that rural. 3 miles might even make a fiber run possible if you're willing to pay.
I don't think this would actually be better for the workers? ceteris paribus, it's better to be paid in cash than stock. stock can be better if it enables a higher TC, or the number of shares is locked in before a major jump in valuation, but at the low end of pay I think most people would prefer to minimize variance over maximizing EV.
Wikipedia: The Chery QQ Ice Cream is powered by a 27 hp Chery TZ160XFDM13A electric motor, which uses a lithium iron phosphate battery pack. The car has an electric range of about 175 km (109 mi) and a top speed of 100 km (62 mi).
Docker is the main one I can think of that has flopped financially despite being widely use.
Just to point to another possibility, since the drivers right hand is not in shot, even though his left hand is carefully poised over the steering wheel for the whole shot, it also looks like he pulled hard on the steering wheel with his right hand.

That might explain the car trying to re-route on the display, although I'm not even sure it does. To me it looks like the black line disappears into compression artefacts at just the right time.

Mostly I think we don't have enough evidence either way and speculating just expresses our desire for the technology to work or not.
The models do actually have a very good record of matching the actual data. The way that propagandists convince you they don't is by cherry picking model runs with higher co2 levels and showing a discrepancy between those model runs and reality.

If you instead only look at model runs with co2 levels close to reality you find that the models have done an amazing job of predicting current warming levels. 50 years more than one study showed 1C of warming by 2020 if co2 levels were around 420. Which is exactly spot on to where we are.

Climate modeling predictions are some of the most stunningly accurate predictions in the history of earth science and someone should have gotten a Nobel for it by now.
It's only a matter of time before I move to sourcehut I think.
I find it interesting that you'd lump Go with those languages. Java and Go are my favorite languages to code in for muchof the same reasons.
SF seemed like a walkable city when I visited. I walked from my hotel to Fishermans Warf and back (back is a LOT of up hill). But I think at least parts of it are pretty walkable.
who here is working on planning socio-economic scenarios and responses to the plausible crisis ? (migrants, anger, poverty)

I'm a bit stumped to see nobody trying to model social dynamics in potentially catastrophic contexts. Sure, some people are doing the usual "It's gonna be war and crime and bla" but I'm talking about almost quantitative modeling. How to see society as chemical or proteic reaction bath and try to see how we can dope the material here and there to smoothen the future problems.
The consequences are beyond just "optics". Either they're putting the lives of everyone around them in danger, or they're unnecessarily and unjustly imposing mandates on others under the false pretense that it's necessary to protect the lives of everyone around them.
I find it fascinating that companies still do not mention the Gflops/watt/$ for their products?

I mean I understand why, because the raspberry pi 4 melts all competition into the ground, but why nobody is asking is my concern.

If you need atomic parallelism you should be fine with a 25W Atom 8-core machine that you can passively cool.

Also would be interesting to see how this performs in a atomic parallel scenario? My guess is my HTTP server would not perform so well because the selector thread would not be able to service 79 other cores but I might be wrong about that.

I'm pretty sure the RAM will throttle the 80 cores if they work on a joint problem though!
Speaking of which, do they have smaller cheaper systems for hobbyists playing around, or are they just enterprise?
Django is still my go-to. Specifically [Django-REST-Framework](https://www.django-rest-framework.org/) with a front-end written with [react-static](https://github.com/react-static/react-static).

Django's ORM is so nice and the ecosystem around it rocks.

Its biggest downside is painful upgrades. They don't really follow [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/)
"Solely" is a thought experiment, just to highlight the importance of that question.

It's a tough sell because statistics don't back it up; there are other significant factors at play.

There are certainly some biases against men but i think you are overestimating this one. Are you accounting for the differences between men and women?

The success of African immigrants suggests that the effect really has nothing to do with skin color, but other societal and cultural factors. Luckily society and culture are both mutable.

No, there are no compromises with these people. What they do is completely unacceptable. We want them to stop. Just cease all surveillance operations.

Asking them nicely does nothing. They just refuse. So we'll fight them with technology of our own.
A simple trick I use to validate any full-stack framework is "Can I build an ERP system with this framework" ?

It's not perfect, but ERP systems have everything that modern apps do

#4 Pages to show information from data

#5 Reports

How well does this one fit to that benchmark?

Perhaps it could be a form of distributism? Basically we could rather promote legal entitlements to workers in the share of wealth generated by companies and labor.

There's an interesting google talk on this from long ago.

You can set up recursive resolver to query directly the DNS root servers.

You usually need garbage collection because you are allocating in the first place. And allocating and releasing adds some non-determinism. You apparently don't know how much exactly needs to be allocated - otherwise you wouldn't have opted for the allocations and GC. That non-determinism translates to a non-determinism in CPU load, as well as to "I'm not sure whether my program can fulfill the necessary timing constrains anymore".

So I kind of would agree that producing any garbage during runtime makes it much harder to prove that a program can fulfill hard realtime guarantees.
Computer security can be solved by using capability based security. Virtual Machines and containers are just improvised crude versions of it.

We've got about 5 more years before everyone catches on to that fact, and things start to get better.

The insecurity of general purpose computing has been a major factor in the walled gardens that most people stick to when using the internet.

People don't realize the freedom we had back in the MS-DOS days when you could write protect your OS and try ANYTHING in almost perfect safety.

Chips, PPE, skilled construction labor, resources for construction, trucking, freight rail, shipping, the list goes on. If you think its just chips and PPE and occasional runs on toilet paper, you aren't seeing the entire picture of just how jammed up the supply chain is currently and how uncertain the paths forward are as critical pieces have only so much slack left to stretch.
I've been using Xojo for a little while, which is kind of like a cross-platform Visual Basic. It's pretty nice other than a fairly limited standard library (json is supported but not zip files, no object serialization and limited file/path manipulation functions). Also there's no "community edition" or similar so you have to be pretty sure you want to use it before paying up the $300 for a license.
If it definitely failed then Japan definitely failed to demonstrate it, with their vastly lower number of virus numbers per capita (and deaths) and high urban density.

I feel like we could go a long way toward this through individual choice. You can just y'know, refuse to help ruining our planet. I bet for most people on this forum that's absolutely a practical choice but the money is too good to worry about that.

I don't think that's the best solution, but at least it's one I can personally enact, and if deontologically expanded it does lead to solving the problem. Don't play negative or zero sum games and ostracize those that do.
More context to why using apps, not websites or email:

Smart Voting website is hosted on Google App Engine (appspot.com). The Russian government had no ability to block it for long time without affecting other Google services, since ISPs could block mostly by IP and via DNS spoofing.

To block reliably by domain they would need to have DPI (deep packet inspection) hardware, and most ISPs had no DPI, since it's expensive. Even if they had it, they could only block by domain/ip, not by traffic signatures and reaction time was relatively slow.

Now they improved censorship infrastructure and basically building Great Firewall. As I understand government controlled DPIs are now installed on Internet exchange points. So it's easier to block specific domains and protocols. Recently they:

- were throttling Twitter (and every website with t.co substring, yeah)

- blocked some opposition websites hosted on Appspot

- DNS over HTTPS (DoH) servers used in the app (Google, Cloudflare, OpenDNS)

- Bunny CDN, used in the app

- docs.google.com, telegra.ph (voting list was published there)

- DHT and BitTorrent

- started blocking some VPN providers and attempted to block Wireguard protocol

I think some of blocks (e.g. torrent) were used to test capability. Now that they can slow down websites and block more accurately, they have more leverage over tech companies.

Apps have more ways to avoid blocking than websites and PWAs. E.g. by getting endpoints/data via updates, notifications, domain fronting. So the obvious next step was to attack app stores.

---

You could enter your email on the website, but some of the emails got leaked. Considering many people used personal email addresses, it was possible to combine it with other leaks/DBs to get more personal information. Police visited some people registered on the website. So I guess people trust less giving their email addresses now.
There may have been blunders with the policies, but if we're talking about history judging things harshly... I think it's far more likely that the massive disinformation campaigns, irrational and willful non-compliance with reasonable safety measures, and cowardice when faced with the need for vaccination that will get the brunt of it.

FTFY
Challenges towards the realization of individualized cancer vaccines (2018)
There are a few problems:

Erratic navigation and driving. 1 second earlier the car was heading straight. The car placement was firmly to the left edge of its lane. A safe driver would slow down towards the turn and use the right hand side of the road - pedestrians will recognize this "body language" of the car and understand the situation better.

In our peripheral vision, the car placement and "body language" is probably more important than ostensible signals such as the turn signal (!)

This kind of "body language" is something we learn when driving and automatic drivers should adhere to it too, so that they can be predictable and interpretable drivers.
I haven't personally had a compelling enough reason to move from GitHub to GitLab, so I mostly just use it to mirror a couple of my repos there in case people prefer to browse various open source projects via GitLab. Regardless, I think competition in the space is a great thing.

GitLab has come a long way and there are certain things I really like about the company. For example, I love how they tend to do everything "in the open" and have most of their development work and business documents public. It's a great resource for aspiring entrepreneurs. I have been a bit concerned about some of the architecture of GitLab lately, with quite a few security fixes resulting in unusual edge-case bugs. My only other complaint is that they tend have a very wide but shallow pool of products. They have ambitious goals with their platform, but I hope they are able to build real value and add features to the existing core products.

Congrats to everyone on the GitLab team. Keep doing good work.

You're exactly correct. Like reading my mind. You've itemized the exact things that take 90%+ of any code I write. I didn't immediately notice it - it became apparent only when I realized I'm writing almost the same, tiny, simple business logic for the third time, and it still takes way too long than it should.

> serialization, deserializating

I shudder when I even see these words. In the past two years, they've been the bane of my existence! A significant chunk of my coding time was wasted on countless little XML and JSON serializers/deserializers, associated error handlers, error messages, type recasting, etc. This is 100% because of bad tooling. I'd consider automatic generators for these, but they're external things that don't integrate well - which comes with more devops and maintenance hassle downstream than the time they save. If I were doing Lisp at work, I could at least macro my way out of this pain, but alas.

And the worst thing is, these things aren't just "brain-off" time wasters. In recent months I've noticed I'm getting slowly but surely burned out by this. I can see myself slowing down halfway to finishing a feature or a bugfix, out of sheer mental exhaustion from dealing with bullshit.
Do we have any idea when the stock will be available?
