If you can type “git” at a command–line prompt then you should also be able to type “man” at the same prompt.

But even if you cannot (for some unfathomable reason) git has you covered. You can type “git help foo” to open git’s man page for foo. So “git help tutorial” or “git help gittutorial” will both work.

Man pages are something that UNIX really did right. When you bought a UNIX, it came with many volumes of printed reference materials covering every detail. Every command you could type, every C library function you could call, every syscall, was documented right there in the manual on your shelf.

But they went one step further and provided the source for those manuals on the computer itself (literally, they were printed from the same troff files that the man viewer displays to you), so that you could view anything in those manuals without even taking them down off of your shelf. They’re indexed for instant retrieval and fast searches, so that there’s literally no delay when you ask for help. And they’re usually really high quality too! Sometimes they delve into jargon, or fail to spell out all of the consequences of some obscure option, but it is super rare that they leave anything out. Originally they were maintained by professional documentation writers, but these days they are lovingly maintained by volunteers who spend thousands of hours keeping them up to date.

There’s a whole education’s worth of material in there, and people just don’t use them. I can only blame learned helplessness, or Windows.

I bet you don’t know about Info either.
> Do lidar driving systems have objectively better performance?

Yes. CA DMV accident and disengagement data for self driving systems using Lidar show they are indeed better (and by miles).

Note that Tesla refuses to share FSD beta data because they classify it as a level 2 system. I'm willing to bet their disengagement rate is in the single digits. For comparison, Waymo and Cruise both had around 30,000 miles per disengagement in 2020 according to CA DMV records.
> Cheeseburgers don't work that way.

No, but you can't completely exclude the manipulative effects of communal eating habits. You can't exclude the multi-billion dollar tactics to promote, associate, tempt, entice and feed children, adults and families with fast food.

Nor can you exclude the actual food, including portion size, sugar content, and cost/value from having a "transmission" effect of hooking vulnerable people on convenient, cheap, endlessly available junk food. All repeatedly validated via communal eating habits, symbols, signs and billboard displayed everywhere. Imprints of these messages become part of your brain's neural network over years.

Cheeseburgers don't work like the virus, but you can wake up one day and realize you've consumed 50 kilograms of cheeseburgers, fries and coke in the last year, and wonder how the hell that happened and why you're now in the high risk category.

I negotiate every job offer. I also negotiate compensation by getting outside offers and benchmarking my internal pay to that.

No bidding war required. And nobody is offended. And it happens pretty often for white collar work in high demand industries.

> It seems nuts to me that Tesla can’t do better than a ~$1,500 quadcopter.

That's probably because you've mischaracterized the issue. It's a streetlight. Obviously Teslas see streetlights. Go for a ride in a friends car (not even one with FSD Beta) and look at the screen. You'll see streetlights rendered by the hundreds. It's basically perfect. It failed here, not because it couldn't see "a pole" but because of a much more specific bug. Specific bugs can, almost always, be fixed.

Minor peripheral point? The whole original thread was arguing about a point that wasn't made in the first tweet. They never claimed nor implied non-mass-produced goods from China were an issue. Replies created that point out of nowhere and you are using the fabricated discussion to paint them as somehow problematic.
This is fascinating because apparently the author graduated HS one year after me. There were places that my experience matched almost exactly (e.g. nobody I knew used source control in school) and some that were different.

I was a bit jealous to see his first hire was at Centaur. There are very few teams that make microprocessors that aren't full of great people to work with.

This guy appeared in my YouTube recommendations a few months before the pandemic. They were there for weeks before I actually clicked on one, strangely persistent given the titles and screencaps on the videos: "What did middle English sound like?" next to this grubby college kid's face. What about my viewing habits to date triggered this recommendation?

When I finally relented and clicked on one, it was kind of hypnotic. It's hard to put to words: the content is really interesting for all the reasons laid out in the article, but there's something else, too, an atmospheric thing. The guy's voice is almost a whisper, the ambient sounds from the garden or the forest or the road are oddly pleasant, and he's speaking pretty slowly, with none of these glitchy quick cuts you see in a lot of YT content. It's also unusually personal-feeling, like he's just talking to you.

It's all pretty dreamlike, I guess. Especially when I stand back and realize I've been watching videos about Cumbrian accents for like two hours. I'm not even interested in this stuff.

Kudos to this guy, he's clearly hit upon something, even if he is some kind of witch.
I’m not the person who made the claim, but it’s been widely reported:

Consistent branding. Visual Studio is the name they're using for all their code editing software. I don't think it's a good idea given the confusion it causes when people talk about the various programs, but they are distinctly named Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, and Visual Studio for Mac.

Microsoft has never been good at naming things. They made that mess of Windows naming at multiple points and they are still making a mess with the Xbox brand.

It isn't really evidence of much. One of the most reliable consensus points of experts is "you need to hire lots of people in my field of speciality and they should be treated really well and their work should be regarded as important!". Not an iron-clad law, but a reliable trend.

I'll single out "dropping their QA department" as an example of exactly the sort of situation where expert consensus would quite possibly sit in opposition to a good business outcome.

If someone wants to argue there is a monopoly, the evidence should be of a "competition is illegal or physically impossible" nature. Not disagreeing with business practices. Business practices are important but not the be all and end all of success.
> I'm saying if the human would do the wrong thing, the passive systems take over and do the right thing.

Now you've lost me. I thought you were constructing your argument as "human+machine > machine_only". Which is wrong, but I thought I understood it. Now you seem to have gone in circles.

How is a passive system deciding when to "take over" and do the "right thing" any different than a full autonomy solution? What if the passive system has bugs too and does the "wrong thing" instead of the "right thing" (or fails to do the "right thing", etc...)

You don't get to assert that your magic system will always be better than "FSD" by taking its perfection as an axiom!

There's a YouTube channel I've been watching for longest time that tests the ability of FSD to navigate a monorail suspended by these columns in the middle of the street. It has been failing for years, and he reports the bug every time, and it never gets fixed.

Here's the latest, even when it finally succeeds, it is not very convincing or consistent.

> Normally the man page name is the same as the command, so I’m not sure how anyone would discover the one for gittutorial.

At the bottom of every man page there is a SEE ALSO section:

SEE ALSO
gittutorial(7), gittutorial-2(7), giteveryday(7), gitcvs-migration(7), gitglossary(7), gitcore-tutorial(7), gitcli(7), The Git User’s Manual[1], gitworkflows(7)

This is as close to clickable links as man gets; if you want actual links you could run “info git” instead. There is also occasionally a NOTES section:

NOTES
1. Git User’s Manual
file:///usr/share/doc/git/user-manual.html

2. Trace2 documentation

3. Git concepts chapter of the user-manual

4. howto

5. Git API documentation
file:///usr/share/doc/git/technical/api-index.html

It also happens to mention gittutorial(7) and giteveryday(7) in the second sentence of the description, way back at the top of the man page. These are above the fold even in an 80×24 terminal.

You’re probably right. But then again: who cares about Spotify making money? I want to listen to music and not optimize the bottom line of the Company.

It means the less there is, the less can be exploited.

Most people wouldn't.

This comes up surprisingly often on HN, but there isn't really anything surprising about it. The whole reason Europeans went to the Americas was to bring back things to be sold in European markets. They might have been a bit disappointed when potatoes turned out to be so easy to grow in European climates that there was no money to be made by importing them, though.
Dan Gackle is fine with racist posts, so long as you leave the thinnest possible sliver of deniability that you meant something else.

Which of course is wildly misleading. It's just marketing.
It didn't barely avoid crashing into the pole. The driver did. The car was actively steering into the pole.

Here's the full video: https://youtu.be/bbyNg9kYEq4

The guys seem to be Tesla fans, despite needing to intervene multiple times to avoid crashes. Also, I noticed that it displays concrete pillars as cones.

Also, is it really just a LIDAR issue? LIDAR would help with the pole, but it wouldn't help with the car wanting to turn onto railroad tracks, changing its mind, and then swerving back for the railroad tracks.

It remains unbelievable to me that this is allowed on the roads. I actively avoid Tesla's on the road.
It seems very unlikely that this was a bug in the "AI" layer. The object in question was a streetlight, which Teslas see with effective perfection already, in shipping versions of the autopilot. There is no doubt at all that a Tesla can recognize that object.

The best analysis I've seen is that this is an imaging problem. The lamp in the shadow didn't have enough contrast to show up and be presented to the ML recognizers (and, probably, that when it did it was too late to see the object in totality and there wasn't a recognizer for "vertical pole in the very near field").
It was a manual process for me personally, finding them through message boards and forums (I know that's not much help). I'd also use https://www.music-map.com. /r/listentothis on reddit is also a good source of tracks.

this, this is your definition of life?

You also seem to have absolutely zero respect for his definition and meaning of life.

I really hope we're far, far away from companies being able to force us to undergo "rehabilitation and psychotherapy" so we're not "depressed" and are happy to work all day making them money. With thoughts like yours though, I feel we may be closer than I'd ever like to think.

The OA feature on my quadcopter positively prevents you from flying into obstacles, even intentionally. It’s not perfect - power lines, wires, and bare branches aren’t seen 100% of the time - but I’ve never had it trigger a false positive.

As for the second claim: https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/629856
He specifically said in the show "Trans women are women" (or the double negative version which is "I am not saying that to say, that trans women aren’t women")

He also used the term "man with a vagina" during a genuine heartfelt admonition of the cruelty of bathroom bills. (Which would also be correctly gendering transmen)

So yes, he did end the show with a deliberate misgendering of his trans friend for a joke. And that to me is problematic for sure. But on balance this fits with the rest of his style of humor - he calls women bitches in the show too. Does that mean he is sexist? Or is it an artistic choice. I know people that despise him just for that even before we get to any of his positions on trans people.

But i think fundamentally, on balance, he is pro trans rights, and he recognizes trans people's brain gender.

Should he have said "I'm team TERF?" fuck no. Should he have said that he supports JKR? No. Now all the people who do NOT agree with all of the above points are leaping to support him - and they haven't seen the show any more than his critics.

But i do think he had some valid points. JKR was wrong. Unquestionably. But the reaction she got was much more extreme than the points she made. People treat her as if she was calling for the genocide of trans people.
The intelligence agencies have a fairly rich history of infiltrating the far left and far right. How influential they were in any events is unknown, but they almost certainly kept tabs on what every group was doing.
So... if the bug existed before, and appears to be fixed now (but with other issues remaining), isn't that consistent with the theory that this is simply software like any other and that bugs can be fixed?

Or do you think that the progress we're seeing currently will just stop? You think that video is as well as the car will ever handle that particular situation to your satisfaction and no further progress is possible?

This week I literally dug through the documentation of whois query APIs of all registrars and registries.

The RIPE servers (and therefore APNIC, AFRINIC, too) are much more detailed in what you can find out about their assigned number ranges via inverse queries. [1]

ARIN and LACNIC both use their own response format (which is outdated, sucks and is super hard to parse).

But now to the interesting part: You can query "the internet" for all customers that have specific IP ranges by that specific ISP.

For example, this will show all customers with a static IP at Unitymedia, which is a VODANET subsidary ISP in Germany. I've chosen this example to reduce the wall of text, use VODANET with expectancy to get blocked due to too large response:

whois -h whois.ripe.net -- "-i mnt-by UNITYMEDIA-MNT"

The responses are - from an OSINT perspective - a nightmare, too.

Because I know that literally all of those customers probably have an outdated router hardware that they cannot patch or update. It also nails down the possible hardware to less than 5 models (from ARRIS, AVM and UPC), which makes it very open to router exploits. (Remember UBEEkey? yeah, that's those routers [2]).

Also, what the article only mentions marginally: WHOIS got deprecated since GDPR, back then by RIPE which seems to lead in terms of specification compliance.

The new protocol that is pretty much the same, but in JSON is RDAP; which also allows to search for nameservers, for domains etc. and therefore superseeds the featureset of the WHOIS protocol. [3]

There's no vendor that could afford license fees to copy every game, from say, the NES, SNES, Atari, Commodore, etc. The rights are either untracable, unpurchasable, or exorbitantly priced.

It's also why Ready Player One book was so awesome, and why the movie was a pale joke... Even with Spielberg as the big name directing, there was absolutely no way to afford every right mentioned in the book. - Do you think that even the 1st quest, a D&D campaign, would be licensed reasonably by WoTC/Hasbro? And, well, it wasn't.
The price of a coin will go up but it won’t necessarily stimulate more expenditure of ‘mining’ energy because there are no more coins to ‘mine’.

At that point the activity of miners would be better described as ‘transaction processors’ and in this phase, energy expended will be directly correlated with transaction fees.

Yes you could say coin higher value would make the transaction fees ‘worth more’ but this effect will be completely dominated by the volume of the transactions themselves which will be much more variable.

It’s like saying Western Union’s server costs can be affected by the USD/GBP exchange price. Sure, they can be but the far more dominant effect will be transaction volume.

"What would the incentive be for a mean, or even underperforming, worker to look at the pay of a top performer and do anything other than argue for more pay for the same amount of work? "

He can argue for more money and management then has to justify why there is a difference. That's not different from some people being promoted (and paid better) faster than others.
