How do cars fare in crash tests they're not specifically optimized for? (2020)
It could be lots of things. You should start with a doctor + blood tests.

You are completely right. Just wanted to add that Excel is a great product and it can be considered as a BI tool. The only thing it lacks of is data merging. You can easily merge data across sheets but it becomes a challenging task when you need to merge/“join” data from databases, especially huge datasets. This is where the self-service BI tools come into play.

TABLUM.IO simplifies data extraction/load/import from files, web and databases. You can load data from postgres, json file and application API, then merge data into a single table, display as a sheet and draw a chart for it. Wheres it is almost impossible with Excel or GoogleSheet.
This video of a crash test between a 2009 Chevy Malibu and 1959 Bel Air is a good illustration of the improvements that have been made in car safety https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPF4fBGNK0U

Although I see nix is required, it would be possible to run the ihp-new program with just nix installed, but without needing to change your PATH permanently. e.g. with a shell.nix file with contents:

{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:

let
ihp-new = pkgs.fetchzip {
url = "https://downloads.digitallyinduced.com/ihp-new.tar.gz";
sha256 = "0prpw46iyrjwzglq38n4kfn68dv2piw6dn8464ra99yl1dml465m";
};
in
pkgs.mkShell {
packages = [pkgs.cachix ihp-new];
}

Running nix-shell with this would download the ihp-new program, and you'd have access to it (and postgres, etc., when you run with a shell with direnv enabled), but outside of the nix-shell, your PATH and other things would be unaffected.

That would be another possible interpretation of the phrase, but I think it is the less plausible one due to other contextual cues in the above text. In fact, the following quote appears on p. 128 of the same thread, posted by the same account:

>with me, Rich did not get physical.

Which, in my view, definitively settles the issue in the favor of my previous comments. The imputed "suggestion" was, in fact, the case. I also don't see why a bad-faith "flag" could be an appropriate response to the content of that post, which merely makes a reasonable point.
Bending Moore's Law: Single-Core Stagnation and the Cloud
Living in the UK myself, I just wouldn't dare owning an e-bike and using it for anything outside of recreation, the theft of bicycles is crazy high, and the high purchase price is just not worth the risk. Yes you can get insurance but they usually have loads of exclusions so if you actually want to commute to work or to shops and leave the bike anywhere(even with a good lock) it's dodgy in terms of insurance. On the other hand my £50 scrappy looking bike deters theft by just looking too cheap to steal so I don't mind using it for commute.
Controversy naturally adheres to these edge cases. If Rittenhouse wasn't a law breaking idiot, there'd be no story. Similarly, if his actions weren't in self defense, there would also be much less story. Because you have someone who made demonstrably bad decisions and broke the law in several ways but to all evidence did not break the law in the most important way, you have a situation primed for engagement of the public and use as a political tool. Whatever your stance is, complexities like these give you the ability to project your argument onto them and thus become more about what you think the current state of society is than the actual case itself.

Personally I find it remarkable how well legal commentators who viewed the footage shortly after it happened predicted how the trial would go. The trial itself and the reactions of various interest groups have been completely unsurprising.
I am desperately looking for one for the car, do you have anything to suggest?

Also, I am finding products that seem to require an Android or iOS device to work: no. They must be independent. If they had a webserver, nice idea, but all connections should be unrequired and switchable to off.
eh, eh, I know what you mean, but in my opinion most vendors are honestly putting effort into modernizing development practices; sure, they're the usual money-grubbers we all know and love ( not! :D ), and gatekeeping is strong, but on the other hand, the sector is so vast, you are dealing with a culture which is so dragged back by past traditions, and last but not least, one's "gatekeeping" is the other's "professionalism".

Edit: Not to say that most of the times we are talking about small operations, where the PLC programmer is also electrician, plumber, chemical eng., mechanic, etc. ...

We are not only talking about big corps where hyperspecialization is the norm, the bulk of the users are (literally!) jack-of-all-trades, software is only a part, and in many cases a marginal one at that. People who have to do with PLCs are IMO far, far more diverse than the other kind of software developers.
I'm not sure that social programs rise to the level of socialism (despite right-wing rhetoric that says they do). Socialism means no private business, no private ownership of the means of production. You can own things that you yourself might use, but as soon as you can produce more things, what you use to produce will be seized and collectively administered for the good of all.

Not everybody will be convinced that this will lead to the promised paradise of maximal creative freedom and abundance for all, so not everybody in a democratic system will vote to continue socialism and there's a risk that a majority will not! Well, that is, until the kulak purges begin.
A related too for CI: change the system time to be a time zone that is during your work hours in a different day already than UTC. Really helped getting failures earlier than 4pm PST.
Are you trying to catch GP on differentiating hours, were it to be appended to his time format (1st @ 11 vs 11th @ 1am)?

Notably he didn't promise any, but presumably one'd need a separator... Maybe, per his "K" usage of the month, one'd use the alphabet again. 11am would be "K" again... or lowercase just for giggles?

I don't think it reads very well, but I also think one'd get used to it pretty quickly.
You won’t be screwed at all, but you’re right that much of market has an odd view on entry level positions (if you only look at FAANG). There’s plenty more reasonable (and challenging) places to start your career. I’m hiring in Chicago. Reach out if you want to chat. Email is in profile.
Right. I watched the entire time Rittenhouse was on the stand. It seemed clear the prosecution had basically nothing, and was just trying to paint Kyle as unreliable or “looking for trouble”. And he wasn’t very successful at that, IMO.

The writing seems to target higher in the management chain, but the points seem reasonable.

> First AI-assisted software development could ensure that code is more robust and better tested. [...] AI systems can be utilized to produce these kinds of automated testing integrations for every function they generate at little to no effort. [...] presents an opportunity to significantly scale up testing efforts earlier in the development cycle.

> [Second,] these systems may be able to reduce the attack surface through code deduplication. By recognizing when a well tested library or framework can be substituted for human generated code, and produce the same effect, the system can reduce the overall complexity of the final product.

> [However, automated code generation] may result in difficult challenges to tackle related to Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) standards being set forth today. This issue occurs because by design the AI models obscure the provenance of the code it has generated, and code provenance is a key property of SBOM.
Fine, put everything on the farside.
>In response to Nader's criticisms, GM attempted to sabotage Nader's reputation. It "(1) conducted a series of interviews with acquaintances of the plaintiff, 'questioning them about, and casting aspersions upon [his] political, social, racial and religious views; his integrity; his sexual proclivities and inclinations; and his personal habits'; (2) kept him under surveillance in public places for an unreasonable length of time; (3) caused him to be accosted by girls for the purpose of entrapping him into illicit relationships; (4) made threatening, harassing and obnoxious telephone calls to him; (5) tapped his telephone and eavesdropped, by means of mechanical and electronic equipment, on his private conversations with others; and (6) conducted a 'continuing' and harassing investigation of him."[12]

Wow I had no idea, that's kind of scary how far they went. Wasn't there something similar recently with a Nissan harassment campaign? Is this behavior somehow specific to automakers or are they just the only ones we hear about engaging in it?
> Basically. Imagine having to pay $10 to register a 4chan or reddit account and being banned for silly and ridiculous rule infractions but then being allowed back on if you registered another account("10bux").

Flip side, the paid account system means that banned trolls coming back under a different username doesn't happen nearly as often as it would on other platforms. It still does for sure, there are a couple of people who apparently have no problem throwing cash at the forums to be able to post their nonsense, but it's not really a big thing. The vast majority of users pay their 10 bucks once, maybe buy a few upgrades, and then never pay a cent more.

I've been on the forums since the early 2000s and have honestly never seen frivolous bans as a thing. 6 hour probations are sometimes thrown around like candy, but they're mostly meaningless unless you do something stupid in response.

In the end, the ban list is public so the system has a lot of transparency. If you know what your friend's username was you can see the exact post that earned it, as well as their history of infractions, and what mods/admins were involved. https://forums.somethingawful.com/banlist.php

> I knew a guy who was huge into SA and contributed a lot of their photoshop Friday threads. One time there was a thread about a new movie, most people liked it but he simply said "I just left the theater a few hours ago, I didn't really dig it" he was immediately banned for "trolling" simply for sharing his opinion. He was the biggest SA user I knew at the time.

I certainly can't say it didn't happen, there were definitely some less stable mods and of course the subject of this thread was the top admin for most of the forums' life, but my experience tells me that your friend was likely not entirely honest with you about why they got banned.
Gdrive the same "issue". I think it's on purpose to avoid files that seems to have exactly the same name.

This can cause user confusion
Anyone else totally fine with spaces in filenames? I use to rip a lot of CDs back in the day, and never had an issue with the spaces in the file names.

Names like that were common, and had many spaces.

Personally I feel a small need to put in my two cents, when it comes to real deep down digital opsec the barrier of entry has gotten so low it's scary for the whole of the communities that rely upon it so heavily, a high barrier of entry/pain in the a* was a true blessing in disguise. Whats really important imo is that one focuses on a general level of education around these fields until one doesn't even need to ask these questions because you understand what you're doing at the network and the physical level.
Thanks for the info.

It looked like Rosenbaum chased him for like 10 seconds while Rittenhouse was running away, threw something at him, and they're going to argue that in the last single second before the shooting he possibly raised his rifle in a grainy video where the question of pixels is an issue?

That seems weak but I guess the prosecution needs something.

Yes, and I would thank Ralph Nader for pushing the industry in the right direction.

Arguably though, the pendulum may have swung too far to the point that cars sold in the U.S. are boxed in by the crash-test requirements. I have seen where, for example, small, efficient commuter vehicles are only viable in the U.S. if they are 3-wheeled since, curiously, they are considered "motorcycles" then and are therefore exempt from many safety requirements.

Is there no category for 4-wheeled vehicles sort of like "buyer beware, this is a dangerous vehicle but you are welcome to purchase and register it with that understanding"?
Man, the 386 was such a huge leap.

I went to college with an 80286 in 1988. It was a splurge, but I had saved money and a full ride to school, so it was a future-proofing thing. I enjoyed a couple years of absolute hardware superiority in my dorm, which was fun, but by 1991 it was time to upgrade.

I bought a 33Mhz Gateway 2000 80386, and HOLY CRAP the speed boost was amazing.

People love to run this-or-that task on a new machine to bask in the speed, but the jump over the 286 here was so huge that just running "dir" on a directory with lots of files was entertaining. It was ridiculously fast; we giggled.

No word of it a lie, that jump was the single most shocking and amazing upgrade of my computing life; nothing later came close until the point about a decade ago when I swapped out the spinning drive in my Macbook Pro for an SSD.
I'm going to humor you, and give you the "Elon Musk" solution here. Take it, leave it or run with it, I couldn't care less.

- Start small, establish yourself on a site like Etsy and sell directly to the consumer. You cannot scale this up until you prove that it's possible to turn dead electronics into consoles quickly, efficiently, and cheaply.

- Focus on a single hardware architecture. x86 would be the easiest, as it gives you a super-solid base for running Linux and all of it's trappings, as well as a huge range of computers to pick from (2005-present day).

- Automate your software solution early. Make sure that your entire install process takes minimal interaction, this will be crucial for your scaling. Write a bash script to automate the installation of Linux and all of your emulation software.

If you can figure that out, you might have a cute home business and a fun alternative revenue source. Saving the planet though? Every little bit counts, but you're hardly saving the Earth by turning trash into slightly more fun trash. You'd hardly even be competing against other manufacturers, and they'd simply continue to pump out consoles faster than you can transform computers. If you want sustainability, go for the high-end market and drive insane margins with fancy wooden cabs. If you want to make a difference, you're going to need to optimize your manufacturing process to an impossible level of efficiency. I say this as someone who has home-made several arcade cabs at this point: I simply don't see a project like this making an impact. But it's your time, so feel free to chase it.
MANG!
Well, if you think that's bad, behold the recent trend in network interface names on Linux.

We started out with 'eth0', 'eth1', etc. Which adapter was which could change when adding and removing a network card. That was bad, so that prompted the evolution.

Now we have 'enp1s0', 'enp0s31f6', 'enp13s0' and many similar variations. These are supposedly more stable across device changes. As it turns out, it wasn't.

But wait, there is more! Now we have the "predictable names" scheme that produces interface names that are even longer, and not even slightly easier to remember.

Read about the whole sorry saga here:

https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkInterfaceName

I do get that it is not an easy problem to solve, especially in the face of removable network interfaces (like USB Ethernet / WLAN). But surely this is not the best we can do.
I concider myself tech-savy but was set aback when this was brought up. If AI does fill in the gaps it makes sense it can not be used. Which apparently it does, how interesting.
I agree that the 386 was realitively rare. I still have one. And I remember how long it was between Intel's original announcement and 386 class becoming mainstream in PCs.

However, at the time the 386 was announced I read an article about it. And that was long before I even had access to a 286. But it shaped me in thinking, let's skip the 286, and wait for the real thing right around the corner: 32 bits and an MMU.
I mean yes, it's perfectly fine and valid for them to make that tradeoff. I just think it's also reasonable to make potential American customers aware of that tradeoff though, because just about everyone I know of here would consider that a dealbreaker, and they might not realize it otherwise until they've already bought the phone and started losing messages (which can be hard to detect). Hence my post.

...and only hire people from the exact same background as you, who will never have unusual characters or accents in their name.

You can already do that with a browser. They all still have “save web page”.

Perhaps you’re functionally fixed on the idea an editor has to be interacted with like a word processor?

It’s all electron state. The boundaries are just UI design.

There are drag and drop web app building tools that let you fine tune the code in an inspector window, and transpile to whatever.

Perhaps what you need is to simply change how you work.

Most contemporary business app building could be visual; I mean look at what experiences Unreal enables with their blueprints. If that coding model can result in AAA games, I don’t see why it can’t replace a whole lot of website building effort.

This stuff is possible. It’s just you have to work for the aristocrats or else.
We're all just trying to be good little capitalists, extracting value from someone/something as cheaply as possible and selling it to someone else for profit. See ya at the bottom! ;)

Dang, you may remember I asked you to wipe out and delete my account months ago. [1] You didn't and wouldn't. Needless to say it left me disappointed in HN and you personally. You insist that a full deletion of my account would ruin the readability of HN, therefore you will not comply. This is my writing that you are reading. I should have the right to remove my creations if I so chose, or at least edit them one by one, including but not exclusive to name calling. I have no tolerance for garbage reasoning by some of the users you allow to exist here. I have no time for them either. My recent candor reflects that.

I have lost faith in NH because of your administration choices. My rhetoric reflects that lost of faith. If you ban me, fine. I sleep well at night, but I demand you delete my comments as well. I demand it! Once you delete my comment and account, ban me, please.

My words are mine. My comments are mine. If I chose to be forgotten and deleted, that should be and is my choice. My personal freedoms, my writing and my copyright are more important that your HN readability.

I'm going to try to stick to the technical concerns this event raised, not the procedural ones.

There was a previous witness who had enhanced several videos for the prosecution. He testified that part of the enhancement process did involve "adding pixels that weren't there previously". It seems important that these videos were enhanced by a person who has a professional reputation to uphold. Those videos were admitted as evidence. The defense is positing the concern that a similar enhancement process happens when you zoom in on a video on the iPad. If it does, there is obviously no professional oversight. Keep in mind that this is a very small section of the screen that they were concerned with - a very small number of pixels of a slightly different color than there surroundings would be construed to be the object in question.

I have no idea if playback software the defense intended to use had an auto-enhance feature, but it does seem telling that the prosecuting attorney declined to certify when the judge asked that the video would not be altered. Instead he continued to make an argument of "we all do this all the time in our daily lives, it's common sense".

I do not recall him mentioning which software he intended to use for playback, so it would be hard to say for certain whether he was correct or not.
