Revenue is not equal to profit. Adding in $3000 from each manufacturer could add a huge amount to the operational costs of one of these businesses, further reducing margin and therefore profitability. Additionally, your average home mechanic should be able to deal with most things on a Tesla with the exception of high voltage electronics. That schematic charge prices your average Joe out of the self repair market almost instantly.
IMO C# got this right. Admittedly I prefer C#, but working in Java right now type erasure really confuses me, especially working with streams. I can/will learn but it seems like a bad model.
Don't think I'm not, either.

ahh very awesome! i do have one other question at the moment. is it common for the factory to provide individual packaging already for certain size of products or is it more like sending a pallet over and packaging is sourced elsewhere? thanks so much for entertaining this - this thread has been really cool!
I thought this was an incredibly impressive visual show considering there was no in-person audience and done entirely remotely. Brilliant lightwork and set too; I don't really like many of the original tracks like Titanium, but the 2021 rave remixes in this set were great vibes.
Whether people agree with you or not isn't the real issue here IMO. If this approach were to be adopted, it would be up to the physicians and other front-line workers to make the prioritization call, which adds too much of a burden to them.
The sad thing is that once they find a substitute term it will eventually be considered problematic too. This is the "euphemism treadmill." [1]

I think it’s more that they are jumping on the zeitgeist subreddit for Karma now to legitimize their political posts during the election.
It says 5.5s to first interactive. Yikes. Though on my iPad Air 2 it’s significantly faster than that.
I imagine our home of the future with a microchip in all outlets, switch, circuit breaker, bulb, etc.

Each breaker would know the current going through it and through all sockets and bulbs. They will be able to detect the bad connection, shut off the current and report the problem, saving a lot of electric fire.

The wiring of the house will be massively reduced as they will be no need to go from switch to light. All lighting will be connected all the time, the switch will be wireless, will be just a faceplate that you stick where you want them. You will assign the switch to the light that you want, they will adjust with the time of day, etc.

Some of the heavy energy use appliances will do peak shaving to reduce the cost of the electricity bill (already in place in some areas)
What non-internet connected voice recognition/NLU system that integrates with light bulbs is available for sale?
Pretty simple Shopify app, sitting at about $2700 after expenses. I started it back in 2013, and it slowly grew but has now leveled off. Pretty sweet considering I only answer a handful of customer requests a month now.
That would have to be One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. What a profoundly human book. The kind of book that is very difficult to describe in any meaningful way, but which I unreservedly recommend to anybody.
Considering the $22,000 replacement of the battery would come with no warranty, writing off the car seems like the wise choice. He extracted the high value components, and blew up what remained in a spectacular and profitable fashion.
Yeah, I hope it continues to live up to the hype you've heard. I had a hard letdown, but I hope that doesn't happen for you.
This is sort of like when doctors prescribe ibuprofen without explaining the research backing their decision. Are these decisions based on research or purely ideology?

I'm starting to see my faith in these institutions erode at an alarming rate. The other day I rewatched an old episode of Bullshit, and it turns out smoking bans in the early 2000's were predicated on bad science. There was no significant evidence that second hand smoke causes cancer. Throw in COVID, political correctness, Omicron and the reproducibility crisis hitting cancer research and I'm suddenly feeling really fucking alone on the plane of authority.
They can also distinguish at a much finer level than the typical black, white, asian races. It's a social construct because the cutoff for being one or the other is determined by whatever matters to people in a society, not because science can distinguish them.
That's the thing, I think most designers were probably using javascript even if alongside tricks like this without thinking it through. The current period in web design is one of the biggest "it's nice to have javascript turned off" moments we've had, so it's relevant.

If you already knew about this, the post seems like a joke, you've made millions off this for years now--that's really special, but that is also pretty subjective and doesn't mean it's not meaningful that one of the top CSS sites shared this article out this year.
My opinion: what would be nice is a robust set of studies that you can do a sort of meta analysis of. Ideally it would include measures that _decrease_ drunk driving offenses too, although I admit that it is unlikely to find a good example of that in today's world.

I do think that one study that shows a robust correlation is a good start, though. That would be the starting point for trying to decide what the optimal tradeoff is.

The thing is though, I think it's a matter of diminishing returns. I bet if you made the penalty for drunk driving death it would reduce drunk driving further, but I don't think many would agree that is a measured and reasonable response to the offense.
How about we hold off on predictions about the impending end of work as long as the unemployment rate is close to 4% (lowest since the 1960s)
I think in most cases with NFTs, "own" is being defined at ownership of the off-chain artwork (or other thing).

I think people are being sold the idea that they're buying a certificate that proves they own (in some sense of the word) the artwork, but in reality they're being sold a certificate that proves they own the certificate.

Of course all the initial commenters are going to declare that this is political correctness gone amok who haven't actually read the article (it was behind a paywall for me), but here are some things that I know from my own reading:

1. "Black" is a not especially useful categorization as there are multiple genetically distinct strains of ancestry within Africa. It's likely that there's a greater difference genetically between an African-American (who is likely of Western African origin mixed with European genetics) than, say, a recent immigrant from South Africa or East Africa.

2. As a sociological term, most people would consider Indians and Europeans to be of different races, but it turns out that genetically they're very similar (which should not be surprising to anyone who's made it through a 100-level course in anthropology or linguistics).

3. That said, the peoples of the Indian sub-continent are also genetically diverse within themselves as there were multiple waves of in-migration there (so you might find some Indians who are not genetically similar to Europeans, and yet, they would end up being treated as the same race as their neighbors who are genetically similar to Europeans).

4. Many of the markers of race end up being selected out in a surprisingly short period of time. Lactose tolerance, for example, evolved in just 2,000–20,000 years and it's likely that a lot of things that we consider fundamental to race similarly appeared in relatively short time frames like this.

Indeed, most articles I've read about Amazon and Wall Street have (for literal decades now) talked about how Amazon was doing uniquely well and was uniquely trusted by wall street among growth companies.
Exactly. Normally you use second-level tables for the long codes. In the first table, if code doesn't reach a leaf, tbl[code] holds a pointer to the next table to use.

For example, here's JPEG XL's Huffman decoder: https://github.com/libjxl/libjxl/blob/1c67f4eff0464e6241f365.... The branch uses a second table if the code was too long.
IIRC these are government issues wallets are they not? I remember this being a point of concern much earlier on when news spread Salvador was going this route.
It changed how I see myself. I think I'm more honest and more compassionate with myself. I wasn't really worried about a bad trip, my life has been difficult enough at times that I felt I had little to lose. Few stable relationships, no family, no kids. But that's very specific to me.
what they're trying to convey is that certain phenotypes have correlations to an overly broad construct, and with your example it is only showing that certain debilitating evolutionary paths are correlated or exclusively within a subset of people with those phenotypes

not that hard, to me, let me know when you get there though
Strawman? I wasn't even trying to characterize anyone else's point, I was just trying to list some significant improvements over x86.

> The simplest possible mitigation would have been to disallow an instruction from spanning a 64-byte boundary.

Sure, that sounds good. But before this you hadn't even mentioned any problems with split instructions that need to be mitigated.

(You did mention decoding without a known entry point, but a rule like that doesn't guarantee you can find the start of an instruction. And if it would help to know that a block of 64 bytes probably starts with an aligned instruction, that seems like something you could work out with compiler writers even without a spec.)
Yeah, I'm really not following all the talk of "wokeness" here. Race is a social category that often says something about your ancestry, and about certain traits like skin color and statistical predisposition to certain genetic diseases. But ancestry is the actual genetically meaningful thing. So why would we want researchers to use the outdated concept of race? Is it woke to prefer oxygen to phlogiston?
Network connected devices are fine, but this thing where every object in your home is reliant on a persistent network connection to a remote server which it uses to funnel data back to the manufacturer? This needs to die.

The push for evergreen, cloud-connected, as-a-service everything was never about meeting users' needs. It's just a cynical grab for recurring revenue and job security.
>Human geneticists have mostly abandoned the word “race” when describing populations in their papers, according to a new study of research published in a leading genetics journal. That’s in line with the current scientific understanding that race is a social construct, and a welcome departure from research that in the past has often conflated genetic variation and racial categories, says Vence Bonham, a social scientist at the National Human Genome Research Institute who led the study.

>But alternative terms that have gained popularity, such as “ancestry” and “ethnicity,” can have ambiguous meanings or aren’t defined by genetics, suggesting researchers are still struggling to find the words to accurately describe groups delineated by their DNA, according to the study.

>In the 19th and 20th centuries, many geneticists embraced the idea that there were races, such as “Negroid” or “Caucasian,” that were distinct biological groups; such “race science” helped perpetuate discrimination and inequality.

Which part of this is absurd, exactly?
Hi,

I've been down this road, so yeah, good luck!

My advice is keep it simple.

Following trends and doing a lot of other things is going to get you side tracked (this happened to me).

1. For dev and prod systems -> for dev its simple buy a desktop based system and go to town ryzen + 64gb ram + ssds will get you far. For prod fixed price monthly VM that can handle your needs.

2. Deployment to trader -> zip file extract to a new directory and run it

3. Ci and CD are great but your best bet is to write some scripts that are well tested and documented to deploy yourstuff and do it when you think your release is well tested.

4. There was a hft fund that lost 450 million in 45mins due to deployment error and testing errors. Test test test. Make sure your software is bullet proof!!!!

Hope that helps
Sure, and it's probably against policy, the Hippocratic Oath, etc.

But if you talk to nurses, visit r/nursing, etc - the sentiment is clear. Front line workers are sick of having to prioritize antivax bed-wasters over people with real issues.
What information does "race" tell us that "ethnicity" and "ancestry" does not? Does saying something is of Ghanian or Inuit origin less informative than saying they're black or native-American?
That's only a problem for off-chain objects, and as such, almost all current NFTs are of digital content: usually encoded images.
I'm cool with that. Now if governments can not ask what my race is on forms...
Compiling to another language is always going to be very slow, and very frustrating, because one's expressiveness is limited to the expressiveness of the target language.

(Yes, I know, because C++ is Turing Complete, anything is expressible, but it's a matter of efficiency.)

For example, what if the language needed exceptions to work in a different way than the target does?

And these days, one can easily use existing backends like the Digital Mars one (Boost Licensed!), the Gnu one or the LLVM one. Why punish yourself by emitting code in another language? Natalie already requires gcc or clang anyway.

I could never have gotten D to work if it emitted C code as output.
That sounds like a pretty cool BBCode hack (and ultra-permissive by the admin considering...admins), I'd like to see it in action in 10-years-ago form.
Probably somewhere around 13,000 I would guess. I haven’t been keeping track as it is still just a fun hobby-ish venture. I enjoy the thrill-of-the-hunt more than the money-making aspect. Though if the tax situation makes it complicated I may have to reconsider. It did net me a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pinball machine!
Safari cannot open the page.

I don't see why you couldn't handle images with base64 data urls...
I didn't read as much as I normally do, mostly due to school, but I really enjoyed "The Midnight Library" and "Recursion" for fiction.

I am mostly done with Antifragile, and it's pulling me between political and philosophical sides. Don't know which side I'll land on, or how long I'll stay there.

As a side note, I've found "Deep Learning: A Visual Approach" to be very instructive.
An old one, but I read "The Brothers Karamazov" by Dostoevsky. I was expecting it to be dense and difficult to read, but I found it incredibly engaging - easily the best book that I have read, ever.
If that happened here in Indiana, I'd totally ignore it because of all the "Extreme Alert" "Silver Alert" messages that show up at all hours on my phone.

Some day, the New Madrid fault is going to snap, and it might even take down my house... 25 miles from Chicago.

Incredibly simple and elegant explanation of how computers work.
Sounds great. None of those devices need to be talking to anything outside the home, though.

Even peak shaving can be done by simply checking the AC supply voltage. If it's starting to sag, ease off some of the heavier appliances. If it's higher than expected, now's a good time to burn some extra power.
Yeah - bear in mind this is testing on a Moto G4 with a simulated horrible cellular connection.

It’s supposed to be a “worst case scenario” sort of test.
That's what's so beautiful to me... someone had this crazy idea to sell spare cycles, and now it's the backbone of not only the company, but an entire market segment.

Don't know who really thought of it, or designed it well enough to make it work, but hope all those folks were well, well rewarded.
This whole conversation is about the notion that we should have massively expanded hospital capacity, which is an extremely expensive endeavour, and probably not feasible because of the lack of trained people.

Universal vaccination uptake would obviate that.
You're not missing anything here.

The article is about race, so there's all these comments who already know what the article says without reading it, what their pre-established attitudes are, and why they are superior.

It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

I fought against making the _current_ way to do compressed instructions a mandated part of the Unix profile, but RISC-V was (at least at the time) dominated by microcontroller people and there was a lack of appreciation of the damage it incurred. A lot of people far more senior than me couldn't believe what happened.

Interesting to contrast with Arm which upon defining Aarch64 did _away_ with variable length instructions and thus also page crossing ones. Maybe they knew something.
I'm ok with that, if so. I find it's just a weird situation. They are in the middle, moderating what people "want", I suppose. I see a lot of other businesses succeeding there, though.
I had the same reaction.

It would be like telling someone who has been using an IDE: did you know you can compile your code from the command line? And having that person genuinely be blown away.
US household income, despite raises, now less than pre-pandemic due to inflation
Interesting business model though- unlike traditional cars which don’t particularly degrade that much while sitting (except cosmetic/cheap wear items) Teslas are apparently like giant iPhones that the battery just dies on after a certain number of years.

Its only 5.7 times the cost. Not far at all.
HTML and CSS alone are really powerful. I decided not to use any JS on my personal site, but you can still have:

+ collapsible sections with `details` and `summary`[0]

+ footnotes, with navigation to/from with anchor tags. You can even apply CSS on the currently selected footnote.[1]

+ Semantic web that is compatible with everything and has sensible defaults so you can focus on what you're actually doing!

+ Tiny deploys and page loads. Single KBs (with brotli compression) for long blog posts. Just `scp` and Nginx keeps serving.

I can't think of anything else I want. And when I think of it, I can probably build it on top.

I'm taking a little of my holiday break to try and apply this to cryptocurrencies and blockchain stuff.

Horrible, terrible, tragic, I know. But if I feel like I'm going to be ridiculing this stuff on a fairly regular basis, then I should at least know what the fuck I'm talking about, right?

I mean, what number of HN commenters who dismiss crypto out of hand have literally never made an effort to be curious about the guts of it all? Probably a pretty sizeable majority, if I had to guess – myself included.
Had it in September. Double vaxxed Moderna with second dose early May. It was bad. Intense fever, headache and I could feel it setting up in my lungs. Complete loss of taste and smell. Took me a solid 3 days to be up moving around and 8 before I was back to to good.

But what was worse was the fear. I don’t buy in to a lot of the fear mongering that’s done around this thing. I know it’s done to get people to take it seriously because there is a non-zero chance you will die. But the anxiety almost killed me. It was far worse than the illness itself.
It has nothing to do with political correctness or wokitude, science bra. There's simply no genetic basis for "race." All humans today have 99.9% identical DNA, with an extraordinary lack of genetic variation compared to that in other species. There is no person on the planet that is a further relation to you than about 37th cousin. Ever seen race used for differentiation in other animal? Race is a recent invention, essentially nothing more than folklore, to be generous, and not a product of scientific research or discovery. The concept of race has it origins in the context of African slavery. So from it's inception, the concept of race was always racist invention.
The Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajaniemi.

It's chock full of ideas that any technologist would find fascinating. A post-singularity society in which those who "got there first" ascended to technological godhood, and the rest mostly fight for comparative scraps. Those scraps are phenomenally interesting though, and the many ways the book assumes and implies generations of growth in technology make for some truly out-there settings and cultures. If you liked the part of Anathem where you had no idea what was going on at first, but slowly learned the ways of the world as you read on... you'd love this book.
I've been using and loving qalculate for years as part of Debian but strangely it isn't in the current Debian stable package list (bullseye). So I just switched to SpeedCrunch and it seems like a good replacement for most quick calculations where you still want to see some history.
He's Canada's version of a member of the House of Representatives, and it's the kind of thing that's probably done by relative number of reports vs number of views so being less well known would make it easier for a small group to achieve.
Yeah not surprising for BoomerNews
‘The Peacemaker’s Code’ is a fantastic sci-fi book. It is reminiscent of a business novel like ‘The Goal’, being written by a Harvard negotiation expert.

I can best describe it as a cross between ‘Arrival’, ‘The Three-Body Problem’, and ‘The Goal’
Voice systems only require Internet because companies have designed them that way to keep you on the hook and collecting your data. There’s no reason that voice control can’t run on a local box except for this business decision. Voice control systems had been around for years before everything was in the cloud, and with the advances made in the technology since then, the accuracy would be just fine on a local system.
I haven't had covid but if you are not going to be taking the vaccine, or even if you do, I'd recommend getting a half/fullface 3M respirator with p100 filter(2297 for example) for protection.
This example is too impractical if you need arbitrary, pinned PyPI packages. Trying to have Poetry work with Nix has been so painful to me that I'd just rather use a FHS shim.

I think these are some good points. I’m a typical HN skeptic when it comes to crypto, but I think a lot of that comes with web3 being such an encompassing and thus refutable concept. I hope some parts of the tech that is being developed is ultimately helpful, but taking the humans out of the systems we rely on is just going to make them less adaptive and more fragile. Idealists don’t understand that our world is built on messy, imprecise systems and the strongest ones can change over time - defining them in immutable code is a mistake, though at least a noble one.
I second this, it’s incredible, so well crafted.
