Won't work on interstates but if they are crossing solid white lines like bicycle lanes on modern roads they they are either drunk, high, or starring at their smartphone.

Some people seem to even purposely straddle the bicycle lane line as some kind of subconscious auto-guidance while using their smartphone while driving which should be a go-immediately-to-jail offense before they murder someone.
I am all for diy in almost all situations but this one. I even roll my eyes at people warning about safety in high voltage projects. Don't do this yourself.
5 minutes at the gas station (10 minutes if Costco) every 400-600 miles is not too bad. How many charging sessions would that be, and how much time to plug and unplug? For my plugin hybrid, using gas is more time efficient (especially since I'd get a better electric rate if I charged at my outbuilding rather than my house, and that would add more walking time)
Maybe a system that detects erratic driving, regardless of the cause -- sleep/drowsiness, alcohol, phone use, shaving, makeup, book reading (I have seen this!) -- can inform the driver to be more careful. That seems to strike a balance between safety and privacy.
I’ve noticed on occasion that comments that border on political speech can really go either way, even if they argue the same point in the same way. HN is, at least according to dang, an unusually diverse community, so leaving it up to a dice roll and timing for a comment to survive its first 10 minutes seems not great.
Lots of FPGAs and Server Blades
I have a lot of high end(recent) FPGAs and server blades sitting around that I can't easily sell or give out...

I'm wondering what I should do with them instead of having them collect dust - if anyone has any ideas...

HN may actually not be the right place to ask, but I'm on HN fairly frequently - so I'd thought I'd give it a shot.

User comment: DISLIKE

Other users click like button on comment a ton of times...

Next official move?

Making comments visible to subscribers and premium users only...

Google is going against basic human nature here and it's Orwellian as fuck.

Next unofficial move?

Censor comments containing, "DISLIKE" because the ones doing it will stand right out same as they did before and having them not stand out is what is being attempted here.

And?

Yeah, DISLIKE

Edit:

I realize this is part of a bigger trend and that is to avoid mass signaling of any kind.

The major players do not want large numbers of people communicating because those lead to large actions, which are expensive and risky from their point of view. While this is perfectly understandable, a functional society allows for these things and it bears those costs and risk because of the even greater costs and risks associated with clamping down on dissent like this.
Except it does. https://www.wsj.com/articles/energy-prices-in-europe-hit-rec...
Do we have existing tech that can disable cellphones? I suppose the driver’s seat could be wrapped in a faraday cage. Perhaps drivers could request an exception, with tougher penalties for exempted drivers who get busted using a handheld device while driving.
This is false.

1. An image is only scanned if it's in your Photo Gallery and about to be uploaded to Apple's servers.

2. The image would need also to match an unspecified second hash algorithm which runs on Apple servers. If it doesn't match this hash as well, it's not considered a match and won't be a candidate for human review.

3. Twenty nine more dual-hash collisions would also need to be imported into their iCloud photo gallery. Human review can only occur if a total of thirty images have matched both hash algorithms. This requirement is cryptographically enforced.

4. Apple human reviewers would only ever see these hash matched images. Which means they'd only ever see some manipulated memes/cat pictures, never any of your personal photos.
I've found myself doing it for clickbait; lots of videos claiming to be one thing and are instead something else.
You know, I was sitting here thinking on it and came up with eye tracking, but I like your idea way more. You're right, both would drive erratically and probably easily detected by the PCM/CPU.
Unfortunately for gnome there is a growing "let it burn" crowd building against them.

Don't get me wrong I use kde5 a lot and its recently started getting better faster imo.

At this stage I'm backing KDE apps on lxqt as the best desktop for me.
Interesting to me that the comments here are so negative, but on anything with self driving cars everyone wants it now to prevent deaths. If DUIs are the #1 source of car deaths (per the article), why wouldn’t we want that removed?
Whoops thanks for the correction.
this is a terrible idea. I want a car not my own personal nanny. Drink driving is a problem but we have to draw a line somewhere. What next? Will the car monitor music that might make us drive too fast? Will it shut off if we are not concentrating enough on the road? How many more stupid anti driver legislation can lawmakers come up with.

This madness must be stopped.
I think it’s because until this post, most of the traffic to bun.sh was likely coming from Twitter or interest relayed from there.
That actually makes me think about how smart we want our cars. I know there's a subset of people that strongly dislike smart TVs for roughly the same reasons.
Chu Spaces: A Visual Introduction
That's been my experience also. In my case the replacement wasn't even done in the same region of the country, or by Apple employees, although the turnaround was pretty quick when you take that into account.

I dumped a glass of water on a MacBook Pro keyboard earlier this year, and took it to the local Apple Store (in DC) under AppleCare+. After verifying that it in fact wouldn't boot, they told me to leave it for repair and they'd update me. I picked it up about a week later repaired.

Based on the PDF documentation I got with the pickup, they shipped it to a third-party repair shop in Houston (CSAT Solutions), which removed every part that had tripped the liquid sensor, and replaced them with new parts (logic board, touch ID board, I/O board, and "top case with battery"). The repair shop then shipped the resulting mostly-new laptop back to the Apple Store in DC, where I picked it up.

Nakagin is interesting to people who are into architecture. If you assume the same % of people in Japan and outside Japan are into architecture, naturally you'll have a lot more non-Japanese than Japanese in that group.
I think a popular video will attract votes one way or the other.

A video that makes people angry will encourage people to dislike the video, and thus eat into the total vote share.

I agree that this likely only covers videos with a large number of views (~millions). There's a long tail where the view count/vote count is not enough to comment on the number of dislikes.
From the article, it seems the type of systems that are being proposed would also help with this issue.

The general idea is that the vehicle will monitor the driver’s performance to determine if the driver is impaired or not. It seems fairly reasonable. We have lane assist “Autopilot” type systems that are relatively close as it is. Basically the computer would see the driver is not doing similar inputs as what it determines is necessary and would flag the driver as impaired no matter what is causing that impairment.

I would guess lane swerving and late braking from cell phone use would be easy to detect.
Some heavily downvoted videos are great.

Here's a classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXmv8quf_xM

Currently rated 3.7k likes, 15k dislikes. It's so good.
Exactly. In fact, Toyota has better economies of scale on its side, so their raw materials costs will be lower than Tesla's all things being equal.
Video creators can censor comment sections as they wish, so this really won't work.
I would like to know if current advanced safety tech such as lane centering and collision avoidance significantly cuts down on highway deaths due to driving impairment? Since these technologies are already starting to become standard, once they get more reliable would that itself make accidents plummet?

I'm not talking about full self driving, but just the currently available assistance technologies that work 95% of the time (and if they improve to work 99.9999% of the time).
For Context: This question came up in the ongoing Kyle Rittenhouse trial today. The prosecution wanted Kyle to give testimony to a piece of video evidence, but it was to be played on an iPad and zoomed in on using the Pinch-to-Zoom feature. The defense objected with the concern that there could be algorithm(s) that alter the video in a way that could change small details

This is important because the video in question had to do with Kyle's weapon and where it was pointed taken from a drone footage far away, any alteration by an algorithm could misrepresent the few pixels that represented said weapon.

"plenty of similar languages existed before as well, so I don’t think having it contributed to go’s success."

I struggle to think of one that has risen to the heights Go has risen.

I'm a computer language polyglot and a bit of a language tourist, though not as much as some people. There's a huge churn of features out there in some language somewhere, that has never manifested in any top-level language like C++ or Java. (For instance, array-based programming has been experimented with quite a bit, but has never been in a top-grade language. The closest that I know of is NumPy.) Whether Go is a top-level language or not at this point is a matter of legitimate debate (depends a lot on your exact definition), but it's certainly knocking on it.

The closest I can name are things like Python, but there is a fundamental difference between run-time duck typing and compile-time interface conformance, although they're certainly related.
DUI of alcohol or mobile phones is a public heath hazard. A regulation mandating car manufacturers to throttle the speed and acceleration if the vehicle swerves or cross solid white lines can go a long way in saving innocent lives.
Students from France are absolutely laughing at this. Wednesdays are half days and the homework load at the lower grade levels is mind boggling.
> Our angel, pre-seed and seed rounds came virtually one after the next,

Have the definitions changed lately?

Angels are individual investors who typically invest in seed rounds. VCs can also invest in seed rounds. So, what’s the difference between an angel round and a seed round??
The other reason why false negatives are mostly irrelevant is because the hash DB can be updated to include them, so the risk of storing them in iCloud remains the same.
The actual linked article is about a company(also VC backed startup and no by Y-Combinator no less ) saving few millions on SSD cost alone by 20% performance improvement. It is a reasonable expectation then the discussions would be at that scale not typical HN reader setup .

I am not entirely speculating, I have been part of the recruitment industry for the last decade, but you have already decided to discard statements from a random stranger on the internet (totally reasonable!) so no point in arguing this further.
Wish redhat had supported multi-DE's officially I fear the "Gnome as default" has made them reluctant to give as much as other DE's have in the name of cross-compatibility...
An LDAP offering that competes with AD and integrates with OSX would be gigantic. I work in VFX where 95% of our hardware runs Linux, our laptops all Apple, and the only Windows machines being the accounting department, yet we still use AD for directory services because there's simply nobody else that offers a product even half as good, and OSX doesn't even like working with AD anyway.

A product that could even compete with half of what AD offers and could manage OSX devices would be pretty incredible.
I believe he bought them with the gates etched & fets doped, and did his own metal. Something like that.
Guns cause a lot of deaths too. And it's not like gun control will be as majorly intrusive as this proposed technology will be.
I mean lead naturally occurs and we can detect it down to parts per trillion, so saying “half of kids have lead in their body” doesn’t tell me much.
Additionally, you can also elect to store the raw key yourself (in the form of a 64-digit number). In which case the HSM thing doesn't apply. The caveat is that they can't help you recover it, but in my opinion that's a feature, not a bug. Consider the mud puddle test.

Of course we still have to take their word from it that the app doesn't secretly store this key somewhere. But I suppose this audit will validate that. I have to do a deep dive into it. The problem remains of course that this app can be modified at any time through the update mechanism.
Don't a lot of favicons still use that format?
I'm not sure that Microsoft did anything. According to the Reddit comments, Firefox was just added to the store a day ago. Sounds like it quickly rose to the top as people started downloading it.
See edit:

It will, and the ones who allow it will stand out just as they do now by allowing comments when others do not. Fact is most creators actually delivering value stand to gain from both robust comments and feedback. It's just not a big deal.

In a more general sense, it's turning a comms medium into broadcast. In broadcast nobody really gives a fuck what ordinary viewers, listeners have to say. Their job is to eat ADS and shit CASH.

On iOS, if your device is connected to the car’s Bluetooth, then you can’t use the device unless you’re using it hands-free (despite research showing that hands-free is just as distracting as holding a phone), or unless you’ve disabled this protective feature on your device.
If you are choosing a backend for a project, and you think there's a chance that your use case could require spatial querying: use postgres, so that if the need arises, you can enable postgis.

I read the article but didn’t see any mention of inspecting network activity outside of, say, a company laptop but on the same WiFi network while WFH.

Do you, or anyone else, know if this happens or is commonplace? For software folks?
>Also those are super easy to defeat.

people have defeated driver awareness systems with flat-printed pictures of their face.

I don't know if defeat-hardness is a particularly good metric for these kind of systems. Very few systems on a modern automobile haven't been defeated in some way/shape/form.

I think it's more valuable to consider the convenience or life-altering-aspect of the consideration -- few people mind nor even notice their photo being taken, forcing folks to breath into a breathalyzer changes their activities and behavior ; their routine is now disrupted, that's a hard sell.

( I hate additional surveillance options, espescially given the idea of the 'always connected automobile'; it's a system that is prime for abuse by authorities. My consideration of these features in no way implies that i'm happy about either implementation. )
> people checking multiple sources and coming back to downvote after assessing which is the right one

I do this on stackoverflow. I wouldn't be surprised if this is what happened here as well.
Small part of me always distrusts these sleaziest people in Congress, I sincerely hope they are not doing it for making more use of surveillance and tracking and handing over the data to security apparatus of the state.
Kahn in The Codebreakers also gives a dramatic story about this.
If you're subscribing to orthodox economics then in that case raising minimum wage would result in job losses.

What I think would actually happen is (perhaps some job losses, but) more jobs being pushed underground and laws skirted.

I'm not against minimum wages or increasing it as such, but if the lowest paid workers are in such dire conditions, the fundamental problem seems to be that they have insufficient bargaining power. A huge issue has to be illegal immigrant population that largely competes for low wage positions -- I've heard it's estimated about 15 million but could be as high as double that. Absolutely staggering numbers in either case and being concentrated in the supply of low skill labor it hits the most disadvantaged Americans including minorities hardest unfortunately. I know it's verboten to speak about now, but even champions of labor and the disadvantaged such as Sanders talked about the problem before Trump sent everyone off the rails (and/or the corporatists completed their capture of the left-wing side of politics).
Arguably that's easier to fix than drink diving too, but maybe that's me...

Looking forward to things like machine assisted breaking as default as the tech matures to help avoid crashes.
Seems like a bit disproportionate reaction. Most of YouTube's value is in the videos.. not the dislike counter. Help me understand the trade-off here...
Two parties have different goals and too many conflicts led to them going different paths. It's not really that surprising.
Doesn't everyone disable this the first time they're a passenger in their own car? (e.g. if your spouse is driving)
There are "Editor's Pick"s on app stores and they should have certainly featured such a high-profile app.
The speed of accessing a zip -0 archive would seem to be an implementation issue, not a format issue. Why didn't you fix the performance of your zip implementation instead of inventing yet another file format?
Trump on the one side of his mouth was trumping up "record economic growth!" but on the other side of his mouth was complaining "the economy will crash if they raise rates!"

It is crazy that the Democrats are the fiscal conservatives these days while the Republicans are much more irresponsible (though Obama and Biden are definitely nowhere near Clinton in terms of responsibility, they are way more responsible than Bush/Trump).
To be more precise, it is the language that makes error-as-values so easy that it actually strays over into "as easy to forget about errors as exception-based handling".

You can successfully build huge chains of code that are just blindly passing errors up without adding any context about where they happened or anything in a way that even Rust can't compete with.

Haskell mitigates this issue by also having one of the more clever ways of dealing with errors, if you start getting into monad transformers or some of the advanced stuff, so it's not all bad. But it definitely can make it so easy to "handle" errors that you just forget about them.
Tell HN: Instagram is promoting inappropriate photos of underage girls
Forgive me if the following is treading over old ground. I'm too afraid to google the keywords.

My mother posted an update on Instagram. Shes on vacation in some beach town. Because of this she tagged her location. The location was weird. It wasn't "Miami" or "Los Angeles". Searching either of those tags reveals pages of adults doing adult things. Typical Instagram content.

No the location was something like "ABC Seaview Inlet". I have no idea where that is so naturally I click it. What do I find? A page filled exclusively with underage girls in bikinis. Some 15-16 but others much younger. Possible 12. Not a single picture of my mother who had tagged her location in several.

Now viewed in the right context, by family or friends, these photos would be acceptable. Not something you would show your grandmother but not illegal. And if you were on the beach that day you would of course have seen these girls in bikinis. But there's something deeply unsettling about indexing these young girls for the general public to see, collect, and interact with. Anyone can comment on these photos and start an interaction with children.

I'm certain none of those girls wanted me, a 30 year old man, to see their vacation pictures. Instagram's default privacy settings should reflect that. And further, Instagram should seek to reduce the total reach of an underage person so I (a person completely unrelated to them) can never see them.

Do you agree or am I over-reacting?
What public service allows citizens to rate each others contributions? A public service would be even more adverse to this feature.

YouTube doesn't need to be nationalized. It needs thriving competitors.
Great, so use Mercurial, or Bazaar, or Subversion, or CVS, or RCS, or Visual Sourcesafe, or Perforce, or <gasp> Rational Clearcase.
I saw research some years ago that estimated that around 25% of drivers are bought in Los Angeles are intoxicated.

Additionally, “pervasive use” is not a measurement of damage.
Well that puts it into perspective. Looks like lead exposure was a small blip on an other downward trend.

Kids in Flint during this crisis had less lead in their blood than kids a decade earlier when there was no crisis?

Why am I not surprised the folks who will make out the most from this are the lawyers?
Are you saying it’s not getting enough credit or that it shouldn’t? The Signal code was closed source for longer than a year (from April 2020) when no commits were done in the public repo because <we don’t have any official statement>. Some months ago the public repo got a barrage of commits after that long gap. It wasn’t that the Signal platform and client had no updates during this time. There were many, but the code wasn’t released.

Signal may be open source at times, but that alone is not a reliable factor for the platform/company to be considered as trustworthy.
I don’t understand what your point is. First, you can make legitimate claims as to why you should own a gun. That’s not the case for driving drunk. Second, as a society we should be minimizing preventable deaths where reasonably feasible.
> I hate ads

Then you should definitely use Vanced. It eliminates sponsored parts within videos, which are not removed even if you pay for youtube red.
That is a great idea, just make it think it's always in a tunnel.

alternatively you can flash the computer to basic trim or international models. On Ford, it's quite easy to remove.

But for Mercedes/BMW I doubt so, even 20yrs ago they had advanced telematics/telephone/sos that integrated nicely into everything.

One example: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/disabling-fordpass... you can find more via good old fashioned car forums.
A global buildout of breeders is the issue. The rich countries telling the poor countries they can’t have nice things because of “our” security concerns. Big talking point in the 1960s. Tom Lehrer even wrote a cute song about nuclear proliferation in 1964, “Who’s Next?”.

If you get any expansive policy and process wrong, the negative global consequences are dramatic and long-lasting. So, first, do no harm.
Injection molds cost $50K all the time and are considered commodity.

Just because you, personally, aren't willing to spend the money doesn't mean something isn't a commodity.
Would be great if they automatically get a point on their license if this registers repeat drunk driving attempts. Get these negligent, self-centered scum off the road permanently.
Hard disagree. I work for a company of 5000+ users and we're full G-Suite now. We just went all in on Workspace.
