> But that might apply to metro and regional rail more than long distance, so it might not be relevant here.

Shinkansen at peak time runs more frequently than even some subways line in Japan. The Tokyo-Omiya section (shared between Tohoku/Joetsu/Hokuriki Shinkansen, which E4 also ran on) runs at peak of 15 trains per hour per direction, or 4 minute heading. (The Tokaido Shinkansen is even more impressive at peak of 16 trains per hour per direction.) The loading time is very, very relevant, and it's why E4 has been phrasing out for a long time already.
Chrombooks are pretty open, although totally non-standard.
Berry's a good well for deep-speaking thought.

The essay from which it comes is pretty great too -- I don't think it's online in whole form but there are pieces discussed here:

So the function F is implicitly defined to have value F(x,y) = v, where x and y are coordinates of the core, and v is the input value to the dFdx/dFdy instruction? Then the output of the instruction running on the x,y core (take dFdx for example) is supposedly equal to (F(x+1,y)-F(x-1,y))/2?
Sort of feel it would really be helpful to replace the narrative of the creation of the modern smartphone ("the iPhone sprung forth from the head of Jobs!") with a picture of the decade+ of efforts made by the computer industry to make consumer electronics.

Note also that this article mentions the Danger Hiptop and folks who worked on it. Some folks who worked on that worked on iPhone 1.0 and some even still work on iPhones!
> With autonomous vehicles, they're asking how to interface with them politely. Like if they signal one to stop and it's not stopping, here is a phone number to call where someone can gracefully shut it down. As opposed to just deploying spike strips or ramming as is their default.

This is quite an extraordinary assumption. Do you have any evidence of this that I missed? My assumption was closer to something like "here's how you communicate to an SDC that it should pull over; here's the decision path it will follow when pulling over; here's how to get in touch with the co".

I don't see any indication that an out-of-control car will be given free rein to rampage (in situations where a spike strip would be used on a human driver) while the PD waits on hold with the operating company. Honestly, this sounds like a paranoid fever dream.
Ask HN: What are the definitive resources for understanding WASM?
Solution is give pay bumps without promotions.
There’s nothing unique about clubhouse in this. Doctors have been chased off of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit and HN too - the ones who haven’t voluntarily left after seeing how ignorant confidence operates on these channels.
That was a misrepresentation by her. NIF is not MCF, it's an ICF weapons program. NIF also gets healthy funding while MCF does not. Look at PPPL's FIRE 1976 report [0]. We've been on logic 0. Given that, the progress we've made with the discovery of H-mode, integration of superconductors, MHD optimization and control, and now empirical turbulence modeling is wonderful. These advances are reflected in simultion and in real machines as triple product increases. True nuclear machines are expensive. We could have made a Q = 50 machine in 1990. We didn't. Want to fund it?

If she wanted to actually show the progress of MCF performance she would have plotted triple product vs. time, where gains have been made faster than Moore's Law when Moore's Law still applied, for a period that began before Moore's Law and is continuing past Moore's Law.

What else is a mobile game dev supposed to do? Ask customers to sideload? Tell people to use f-droid? If they do that they're restricting themselves to a tiny fraction of the possible audience and thereby removing any chance they have of being profitable.
Google are horrendous (business partner), but at least you can publish and install .apk files without a store. Whether that's a sustainable business model is another thing entirely, but at least you can do it. Not even going to talk about Apple since that's just a more extreme example of the same problem.

From my POV, if you have a business and you rely entirely (or for the majority) of your income from these platforms, then your business is not sustainable and is not competitive. You're playing at a rigged game and you will most likely lose.

I stopped using 3rd party game engines for the same reason. I want to control my source and the potential income I get (if any). A lot of people won't agree with that. That's fine. Google and Apple's duopoly and their respective ecosystems are not good for the future of software. People have to take a stand at some point. These companies want to control every part of the tech stack (and our lives to extent), you should fight against that. We should all fight against that.
Heavens no. No innovation for news ways to exploit? Whatever will the ruling oligarchy do?
Even if the company is sketchy, shouldn't they be told very clearly exactly why they were banned, so they can appeal it if it's wrong? Imagine how ridiculous it would be if you could lose a court case without having been allowed to see the evidence.
Haha, nice link. Yeah, pretty much this.

I'd expand on it to answer the original question more fully from my perspective: I don't actually hate node.js per se. I'm sure it's a very good javascript environment.

For me, the problem is a fundamental one: you're choosing to write javascript somewhere where you don't have to be writing javascript. I disagree on principle with doing that: friends don't let friends choose js. For me, any technical merits of the implementation and the benefits of running the same code on both server and client sides aren't important - IMO you're better off to just use a good language instead, only using as much js as is absolutely necessary.

I literally don't think I've ever seen anybody try to argue that js is a good language. I can't conceive of anybody trying to argue that such a pitiful standard library is a good idea. Why in god's name would you choose to use it server side when you could be writing something less excruciating like perl or php or assembler or brainfuck?

> Why the big guys picked javascript, I don't know.

To be fair, they never really picked it per se, it was just the only thing that was kinda-sorta standardised enough that you could write code and kinda-sorta-almost get it to run on most browsers without installing some horrible plug-in. I think a more appropriate question is why it never got replaced with something not-awful.
If you look through the "Adaptive AUTOSAR" literature and documentation that's out there you can find that enormous chunks of it are lifted straight from GENIVI's stack/specs.

However, GENIVI/Adaptive-AUTOSAR tends to serve a different function in the vehicle architecture. It's mostly cockpit and less control/platform. AUTOSAR Classic is still the champ on the MCU side of the house.
I still expected it to reach the inner solar system!
I don’t care about running either on my phone.

I have watched YouTube instructional videos, but I can’t see the appeal of watching a movie on a tiny phone screen. As to messaging apps, SMS and email work just fine but for anyone who cares I suspect they would simply jump to whatever messaging app did work.
>> In the meantime, please do yourself a favor and take a look at Figure 6 on page 31, which shows that the number of interventions to rescue financial institutions around the world has been increasing consistently since the 1600's.

I'm looking at it. Looks like it is "Absolute # of interventions". Doesn't seem to be per capita.

Do you know if it is? If it is not per capita, that's just a chart of population growth.

The population has increased since 1665, for those of you who didn't know that. Does this tell me anything else?
FDA approval for transcranial electric/magnetic stimulation has been around since 2008 for major depression, 2013 for migraines, and 2018 for OCD [0], so it wouldn't surprise me if they hold some therapeutic value for sleep disorders as well.

I just hope these devices are particularly well-regulated for sleep, however, because I imagine sending the wrong signal for even a few nights' sleep could do some serious damage.

This isn't really a fundamental problem. It just means using relays with contacts rated for higher voltages. It's probably the easiest part of the bom on a typical vehicle to move to a higher voltage range. I use 125VDC contact/coil rated relays all the time.
I work since grade 6... last free years were in elemntary school. No money or time for drinking, advanced classes take extra time and work the rest plus some school clubs for building resume to get better college entrances. Teens years are not always without responsibility and with free time, children have been working since millenia past, idea that children must be carefree is a new thing and not true.
Flat out bad reporting.

The definition of ownership is what led us to this situation in the first place. The concept of ownership of ideas ("intellectual property") is what lets manufacturers currently limit who can repair what. More of the same, as in subscription models, renting devices, etc etc, will exacerbate the problem.

"If you can go out and buy a flat-screen TV for $200, when it breaks, you throw it away, because it’ll cost you several hundred just to fix it even if you can find anyone who can do it"

Sure, that covers "repair" but it does not cover any of the other myriad possibilities that laws limiting "intellectual property" based monopolies enable. This is the consumer harm model of allowing monopolies. We as consumers are only allowed what's easy to quantify as benefits to us.
I imagine they were tat way before just now we’re seeing it.
Just to start, as of today Tesla is Panasonic's only automotive client. Panasonic talked recently about the need to get more auto clients for their cells but so far it's been just talk.

As to your dismissive "galaxy brains at Tesla": unlike Ford or GM or Toyota, Tesla does a lot of R&D in battery cells.

I know that because they are hiring tons of people for cell research and production: https://www.tesla.com/careers/search/?country=US&query=cell

I did similar searches in the past so I know that they've been hiring for cell research for years.

For contrast, despite GM claiming they make Ultium batteries, few months back I didn't find a single job post for cell engineering.

I also know that because Tesla has been sponsoring Canadian cell research lab led by Jeff Dahn.

This resulted in multiple patents awarded to Tesla.

Tesla also bought Grohman Engineering (which makes, among other things, robots that assemble battery packs), Maxwell (for their dry electrode technology) and a Canadian manufacturer of equipment for making battery cells.

Musk also talked how they work with every company that claims they have an improved cell technology and how they evaluate their cells.

There is no evidence that Ford or GM or Toyota made similar investments in batter cell and battery pack R&D and production.
This and the doctor comment capture my impression of Clubhouse. It can't clamp down on bad actors because then its "user engagement" numbers would plummet, it can't get any sponsors to pay creators because it cannot show any reasonable revenue upside for the sponsors. It can't clamp down on copycats or pirates because then the amount of content on the site would drop precipitously.

Typical chicken and egg problem and no path to bootstrap the first chicken.
How bad is that, though? The success and impressive performance, battery life, temperature of the Apple M1 suggests that this kind of integration can have outstanding results. So there are tradeoffs, at least.
Why do you say "(and Facebook)"? Even if Facebook were this ban-happy, a lifetime ban from them is way, way less disruptive to most people's lives than a lifetime ban from Google is.
Not exactly - they've marketed it to developers with Crostini for a number of years now. But it's just not there, unfortunately.
To each their own. If I were solely looking for "a Linux laptop", correct, I'd get something else. But I find the combination of Crostini and ChromeOS ideal for me:

1. I can run any Android app on the device. I find this incredibly useful.

2. On the ChromeOS side of things, everything really "just works" for me - the Pixelbook is a really great combo of hardware and software.

3. There definitely were some Linux hiccups but they continually improved over time. The was container backups work in the UI is especially simple and easy to use.
Many people are seeing all these different vendor specific CPUs as a win. I'm a bit more skeptical, but perhaps that it unwarranted.

But Apple, Google, and Amazon are now creating their own ARM CPUs for their own products. So most of FAANG, all if you count the ones with consumer products.

The first version of these CPUs will be very ARM compatible, as they are trying to drive adoption to of their silicon. Once there get a leg up they will start adding patented operation to their stuff. And then we'll end up with a fragmented CPU field driven by corporate greed.

And because they are not OEMing this hardware, they really have no incentive to be cooperative with the others. Similar to older gaming console that had custom and experimental architectures.

However it is obvious why this is all happening. And that is Intel and Qualcomm inhibited growth and squeezed too much profit from the market.

The larger book covers things like scripting CSS and SVGs and goes in to exhaustive detail about the language. If you subtract the smaller from the larger the resulting set is not “bad parts of JavaScript “

One person’s opinion of Python’s good parts would be equally small and any opinion would be very small compared it to the entire official documentation.

Phone OSes are hard. Tizen was a big play for it and that ended up being a dud. Windows Phone was also another well-funded competitor that fell on its face.

Really, the problem is that phone manufacturers want to be where the apps are, and app developers barely keep it together making native apps for the two dominant OSes. Another competitor would need to make it really, really easy to make apps performant when ported over with minimal work, because the ugly truth is that no one is going to hire a full third team to develop for another OS that's just starting out.
Scale matters.

Coordinated large-scale propaganda (or advertising, but I repeat myself), as well as censorship, surveillance, and targeted manipulation, all benefit tremendously by a monopoly. These are in fact integral features of an information, communications, or media monopoly:

I'm not entirely sure what the consequences of a bunch of smaller, freestanding forums and discussions would be, but my sense is that it would be better at generating different specific subculures and beliefs (many of which could well independently be poorly-grounded in reality or factual basis) ... but it wouldn't be as subject to the degree of mass propaganda, surveillance, and targeted manipulation.

There's the risk though that such a system might well be asymmetric as to decentralisation. If it's structured such that adversaries could utilise the system but defenders / the general public cannot enact sufficient defences, then what exists is a false decentralisation. Arguably, this is presently the case with FB, where advertisers and propagandists have far more effective tools and capabilities than those defending against them. I'm concerned that this could also effectively be the case with more distributed protocols --- Usnenet, the Fediverse, Diaspora*, etc. (All of which I use / have used in the past.)
You can take issue with the order of the presentation but the definition is in the following section. There’s nothing to look up, it’s just an arbitrary choice by the author.

> The reality of the long-term value of the research should be enough.

We have to decide how to apportion research funds from a limited pool. One project's gain is another project's loss. We also have to take into account that we don't know if the research is too far ahead of it's time or not. If the underlying technology just isn't there yet, we could be spinning our wheels on progress because other fields need to catch up. That money could be used for nuclear fission research instead, which it's looking more and more like we're going to need to fund in the near future.
are you representative of most people?

I certainly wouldn't say I am.
Well I agree with you, but considering the corporate state merger we are seeing today (we now know elected can officials directly instructed Facebook as to whose accounts to ban), we have to do some real politik.

I am 100% behind any attempt to break up Facebook and Google, but given that they are de facto the government (just see how many ex googlers have high bureaucratic office), this seems as likely as the feds voting to reduce their influence.
Maybe we should start with universal cable format first. Seems easier to implement.
Apple M1 didn't come out of nowhere, they learned from everything that came before. Your comment sort of implies that the innovations came solely from being developed behind closed doors (or in some kind of vacuum), which denies credit to workers who made the thousands of incremental breakthroughs that landed in the commons and which has helped us to arrive in the place we are now.
Or actually, we hate it for all the algorithm tweaks. It just keeps making it worse and worse until I'm just like OK, I give up.
They are raising money by selling stock.
Having programmed for 10 years in a fully dynamic language though I think I prefer the other way around. You tend to wind up documenting all your types anyway one way or another either with doc comments or policies around naming parameters, and wind up building runtime type validation systems. Statically typed languages with cheats seem like it gets you to the right sort of balance much sooner.
Have you considered joining the Taliban? They too are very interested in banning clear misinformation.
Well, something does not add up.

If you make games you are proud of, why would you hide your identity?
Is it that much of a problem as long as alternate OSes can be installed by the user? For example, the M1 chip can run Linux. I don't see how Apple and Google producing their own chips is much different as a consumer than the Windows/x86 monoculture that's existed for a long time.
Alternative thread: How to disable built in write protections on my SSD? I'm a programmer and I know what I'm doing...
DEC, Sun, IBM, and many others did this. The world still survived.
They have zero revenue because they haven’t shipped any vehicles yet which should start soon. They spent $1b to build factories and cars. Maybe I should buy when their stock opens if lots of people are missing this bit.
I don’t think malicious apps are making their money through Play Store purchases. Probably ads and data, and maybe by taking user credit cards directly.
> You are setting up a Lightning node?

Yes.

> For?

To learn, and for myself and friends to use. Vague question.

I want the Lightning network to be the BTC solution to transaction throughput and privacy, but I don't know that it is. Figure best way to find out is to get my hands dirty.
That's only true as long as Google wants it to be true.
> Facebook

You got me there I guess... I mean, I could suggest not using Facebook, but I suppose that's not very realistic.

Still, Facebook and the WayforwardMachine aren't of the same caliber.
> all of them will be mutually incompatible, with own programming languages and data formats. The future looks bleak.

Server hardware had (still has somewhere): SPARC from Sun, PowerPC from IBM, HPPA from HP, etc... See for example list of supported architectures for Debian4:
https://www.debian.org/releases/etch/hppa/ch02s01.html.en

But it feels like amd64 is winning today. Don't you think that eventually one of these architectures you're talking about (Google's, Apple's, Samsung's, CCP's) will win over others, one way or another?
Fundraising Skills
I'm a first-time founder, and very introverted. After meeting 50 VCs, it comes as no surprise that we weren't able to raise money. My startup is post-product, and growing double-digit MoM (not consistently though).

I've concluded that in order for first-time founders to get funding, you need at least one of the following:

1. You have personal relationships with VCs, 2. Your startup is post product-market fit, i.e. >10% WoW growth, 3. You bootstrap all the way through by charging users early

If I was to start over again, I'd go with option 3. Squatted on zoom calls with VCs trying to pitch your vision, background, and MVP narrative in some exaggerated way isn't my cup of tea. I get tense. I shake. I find it appalling to ask for money. But, I know fundraising is a skill every founder must build, no matter how repulsive they find the process to be.

Would love thoughts from other startup founders.
> As to messaging apps, SMS and email work just fine but for anyone who cares I suspect they would simply jump to whatever messaging app did work.

Messaging apps have a network effect. You can't just jump ship from one at will, or you get cut off from all of your friends who didn't jump along with you.

Why am I not surprised? Money is not going to Alabamians, it's going to jails for them. And probably the prisons are privatized so the money is going into her donors' pockets.
That is not true, there are plenty of boot locked Chromebooks on ebay. If the org didn't unlock them when they surplussed them, they will never run Linux.
It's unfortunate that he went back to work instead of quitting and filing patents on the device.
Not apologizing for Google but if you give out too many details of why you banned someone you give people a) leverage in a lawsuit, b) information on what you are what suspect triggers they are looking for, making it easier for people to avoid automated detectoin.

The M1 can run Linux after an extensive reverse-engineering effort. And Apple didn't take particular active measures to prevent running your own OS on it; they just didn't offer any help. Many Android device manufacturers actively try to prevent that. Apple actively tries to prevent it on iOS devices. Some early Chromebooks actively tried to prevent it, too. (Though not Google's own flagship developer devices.)
Considering actual adoption numbers I think I might be representing of most people in this. How many people do you know that actually watch Netflix on their phone?
forgive for not being cool and hip, but what's a jjcon?
Apple has already done this to an extent. M1 has undocumented instructions and a semi-closed toolchain (Assuming they have some, M1 tuning models for LLVM and GCC are nowhere to be seen afaik)
