Ignoring Elon Musk, I have been continuously impressed with Andrej Karpathy's work on autopilot.

The amount that the Tesla Autopilot engineering team has accomplished is really impressive, and I don't think it's worth giving up hope just yet.

I wouldn't anticipate Tesla shipping with worldwide FSD capability in the next 10 years, but I think within 20 to 40 years, this approach to self driving cars will be the most reliable and flexible, assuming development continues.

In terms of delivering a product, many LIDAR based self driving solutions will absolutely beat a fully AI driven design to market. However, the potential for adaptability in the Computer Vision approach is much greater than current alternatives.

Overall, I don't think it's worth dismissing Tesla entirely, but it's also important to keep in mind the long timeline for the development of adaquate computer vision technologies.
Yes, PostgreSQL did this when they switched from CVS to git. They used that as an oportunity to prrpend the history woth the contents of some ancient tarballs that they had.
Because it's important to do something different. Using my hands to create, instead of just my mind, helps me clear my head and revisit other problems fresh. If all I ever use my mental energy on is my day job, my performance declines because I never stop thinking about my work and it's difficult to see other paths.

Also, it's fun?

Covid Policy Tracker: Stringency Index
>All I get on this page is a form to sign the manifesto. The actual manifesto is…what?

At the top of the page is a black box with white text that has the following pseudo-math propositions:

web3 = decentralisation + blockchain + NFTs + metaverse
web0 = web3 - blockchain - NFTs - metaverse

So it's playing on the arithmetic of '3' in "web3" minus '1' of blockchain minus '1' of NFT minus '1' of metaverse -- so the final math equation equals 0 -- which is the '0' in "web0".

And then the black text on white background then has: "In other words, web0 is web3 without all the corporate right-libertarian Silicon Valley bullshit."

I don't think there's really any more to it than that.
OpenDrop: An open Apple AirDrop implementation written in Python
Apple really should have bought Tesla back when they still could.

Then there would have been only one company I will never buy equipment from.
The problem with that superpower being the key thing is that only a small number of people care about it -- and actually run their own nodes, etc. The vast majority of the millions of users holding coins and NFTs hold them with middle men.
> so car ownership is much more expensive

That's kind of the point. A significant part of my hometown takes a bus to work and shops in a walking distance from home. There's just not that much need for the cars in the first place.

> usually no AC

Among other generalisations, this is the most striking. Where in the EU? Due to the climate, I don't think anyone in my hometown has any need for AC. On the other hand, every block of flats has hydronic heating which regarding comfort and cost is way better than what is common in other countries.

Things like that are just not comparable at a scale of a continent.

The older Blackberries relied on a centralized server for configuration and setup of both public and corporate settings.

The devices _should_ be able to make calls and text (baseline SMS), but they might error out in various things (browser dead, contacts gone, even some menus dead or stalling) and if they are reset you might not be able to get texting back (since it _might_ not rely on the SIM card to set the SMS message center, etc.)

There were so many changes over the years that I’m not sure how much will still actually work, but I think it’s a given that calls will work — just try to get them to backup their contacts somehow, since I think that is the most basic info that was read off the SIM card on initial setup but not written back.

It’s not as much as “what regulations we want”, as “this is already a regulated space with every country having its own set of concerns and regulations.

This isn’t about Web3 though - Starlink for eg started accepted beta signups in India without a ISP license and was forced to go back on that. This is exactly kind of regulatory questions that Uber brought with it and it deserves the same level of scrutiny. Uber for eg, was forced to get a Taxi license in various jurisdictions.

Nice to see that they have more manufacturers though.

Solar dropped below 2c/kWh in the kind of places you should actually install solar. It depends on interest rates but that’s shockingly low. Batteries provide peaking power cheaper than any rarely used peaking power plant. (2,000 charge cycles on a 100$/kWh battery charged from 2c/kWh solar is ~7c/kWh whenever you need it.)

That’s all it takes for adoption to dramatically increase. Market forces will shift things around as ever more solar comes online, but as long as daytime rates are above nighttime rates solar is an obvious win for electric companies.

> local noobs

What's that supposed to mean?

UAE doesn't have a high local population to begin with. Majority of people living there are expats. And among that low population only a few choose to become pilots.

You know, from the rest of the world American pilots flying in America also look like "local noobs".

Let's wait until the relevant authorities release their final report.

Maybe those particular pilots are questionable, but I don't think it's fair to blame the entire carrier.

Emirates is very responsible and it's definitely in their interests to run a safe airline.

(I'm probably going to get flagged but I don't care)

I've seen it again and again in HN. Whenever something goes wrong in Asia or Africa everyone's like "the noobs over the don't know what they're doing".
Ah, but are /dev/input entries reusable?

Let's say you have /dev/input/event{0,10}, event5 is a USB keyboard, you unplug it, I assume event5 goes away.

But then you plug in a controller, does this get mapped to event11, or does event5 get reused? Is the behaviour reliable in all versions of linux?

You might argue that metadata should do the trick, but in my experience, on device files, anything beyond read/write is a crapshoot, whether metadata makes any sense is basically a roll of the dice.

So if you have to open device files in order to check their identity, you might as well skip the identity bit and just check if you're a gamepad.

edit: per charcircuit's comment below, it looks like the metadata of /dev/input at least are considered reliable, and this was used to mitigate the issue by checking the mtime of /dev/input itself against a stored timestamp: https://github.com/spurious/SDL-mirror/commit/59728f9802c786...

Here's another thing I've noticed that isn't mentioned often. Americans often stress the first word in a pair of words that go together whilst British don't stress either one. For example, Americans would say Robin Hood with Robin stressed.

Rust or modern C(++) (haven’t done any “proper” C in years), specifically for compiling to WASM. Alternatively something else that emerges as the de facto compiled to WASM language.

Mini 2022 prediction: WASM (and webGPU) are going to become universal, not just on front end and at the edge but everywhere as a universal deployment system. The next generation of Arm processors, particularly from apple, will have optimisations for WASM.

It's common in application of certain size and compatibility expectations. Windows and Mac games will bundle their dependencies as much as possible as well. Same for large apps.

So how would you change that incantation to accommodate C++ with modules?

Edited to add:

Okay, you did say "I'm not going to try to design the best way to do the equivalent for C++ modules here in a HN comment", but then all you've shown is that it's easy to implement for C++ without modules.
I'm a web3 enthusiast, but I would agree here. Crypto makes most governments jobs easier, not harder regardless if they are hostile or not.

Sorry, not sure I see the point here other than computers provide human representation of binary data?

If the mapping is non trivial then unless you're careful you end up breaking basic consistency between input and stored data hence the weird issues with mangling the unicode chars.
If the mapping is trivial theres almost nothing to discuss.
If the mapping is many to many you're going to have a bad time unless your consistent with your use of the maps.
Then the fun is broken mappings where you get data loss due to incorrect many to one and one to many mappings.

There are times when caps matter, I e. code and filesystems are human readable so should not be arbitrary, but searching these for instance makes sense to be insensitive when needed (perhaps even default)
The area where it occurs is a poor area, the inhabitants are more likely to consume deer and other types of 'bush meat'. This is illegal, generally, although there is a limited deer hunting season. At this time there is no apparent linkage to deer or other types of bush meat - but the locals may well engage in lying.
The rate of progression is much faster than and the onset symptoms differ from the CJD found in deer, which might point to a different type of bush meat being consumed. The Medical Officer of Health needs to have heart to heart - off the record chats with local people and aboriginals - both of whom may well conceal what they see as an unattractive/illegal practice.
AFAIK the MOH is interviewing a broad group of people to try and find some causative link. The infection kinetics of a different CJD type of illness could be much faster from a different animal?

That the future is not what it used to be is rather old news.

Regarding that Greer guy, he makes his bucks in the bizarre in-between world of ecology and esotericism with mild, rather conservative social critics.

Esoterology? Ecotericism?

He seems mostly harmless, there are much worse.
The only thing that's slightly creepy to me is that in between he comes across as a priest of the Orthodox Church.
But then again, he's not demonic enough for Rasputin, he lacks sex appeal, ya' know.
Also probably no priestess harem to do his bidding.

But he is a Lovecraft fan and lives not far from Lovecraft Country, which again makes him very likeable to me.

I'm certainly not expecting a Ligotti, but are Greer's Mythos books anything more than fan fiction or role-playing material?
Ask HN: How to overcome chronic fatigue?
Hey HN,

I’ve been suffering from chronic fatigue since pretty much forever (certainly for the last ~20 years). I’m 38 this year.

Most days I’ll get out of bed worn and tired. I have trouble focusing / starting to do things (I need to force myself to do them, which sometimes doesn’t work out; consequently, I’m procrastinating quite a lot, which I found to exacerbate the issue – I’m feeling _less_ tired when actually working). Sometimes even thinking about doing something makes me feel tired. Things get better in the afternoon, which makes me a night owl.

There are days when I’m feeling energetic and have a natural can-do attitude, but they are few and far between, and I wasn’t able to establish variables that they correlate with. Most of the time, I manage to chug along, but it’s growing on me.

I sleep ~7h on weekdays, 10h+ on weekends. I don’t exercise much, but I enjoy walking and cycling (I cycle ~1kkm a year).

I highly doubt that I’m suffering from depression. The fatigue is perhaps the #1 detriment to my life quality. Outside of it, I have an awesome and healthy relationship, a job that I enjoy, financial safety, and I generally feel that I won the game of life.

I’d love to hear from people who have suffered from similar symptoms. Anything that has helped you? Please let me know.

As an experiment this year, I resolved to do daily morning walks. I’ll see how it goes.
Reading monero's site I got the impression that it would be impossible to know who Bob and Alice are looking at the block chain alone. However, if you had Bob's secret keys you'd know all the money he received and, if you have the sender's private keys, you'd be able to know them too.

That's certainly better than bitcoin, but it's still worse than using cash or gold. In which case you may have no traces of transactions left behind.

If I was living under an oppressive regime, I'd be weary of using crypto instead of cash. However, the advantage that crypto has is to reduce control that democratic governments have over the economy. But it could actually be an asset in combating tax evasion. You'd be able to get a lot more with subpoenas and warrants.
The problem with "web3" is it implies/its proponents claim that it's a successor to web 2.0. How does it make sense for this crypto "assettech" stuff to replace/supersede the current www stack? Naming it "web3" just comes off as a cheap attention grab.

This is a dangerous heuristic, because people here means exclusively developers. It’s easy for us to trade annoying but mostly harmless bugs for rare but harmful ones.

> but global consensus is a goal that is fundamentally at odds with the goal of decentralization.

I’ve long fantasized that machines should “evolve” the network protocols they use to communicate. Parts of packet protocols they never use to communicate might gradually be dropped while common higher level portions always needing to be used might migrate lower. Of course more “formal” protocol specification would still be used when communicating with strangers.

In this it would be like the specialized jargon interest groups adopt.
Does MS Flight Simulator handle this condition, i wonder.
This sounds like an issue with the language. 3-4 is not a large number and should not be by default. It should be a case handled by the developer.

Maybe you want to do some weird bit banging trickery, and that's fine too, but it should require an out-of-the-way function call.
It is absurd to be 100% dogmatic about solving this problem. Otherwise you look like a zealot, who refuses to talk to anyone who disagrees with you in.
I can and I have. I needed to fill out a PDF (digitally) and ask the recipient for their IBAN etc., but they're both magically long strings so that's equivalent to needing someone's wallet address.

After that it was a matter of uploading the form and getting confirmation in a couple days, which I'm gladly willing to accept for peace of mind when it comes to large transfers.

> In addition the bank is often closed on weekends, and doesn't service you into the night. My bank site "shuts down" at night. Sorry, but my ability to use my money isn't limiting by your waking hours.

Odd, banking apps are open 24/7 here and if it's an in-bank transfer it's instantaneous.

My house uses about 500kWh/month, so a typical electric car parked on my driveway for 95% of the time can run it for several days.

20 million cars in the UK are parked on peoples drives overnight. Vast majority don't need a full charge for the following day and people will be delighted to buy electric during the day for 10c/kWh and sell it overnight for 20c/kWh

If they were all electric with 60kWh of storage and can drop to 30kWh that's 600 GWh of storage. The UK's grid usage overnight is about 20GW from memory, so over 16 hours is in the order of 300-400GWh of overnight storage.

Assuming Germany has similar car and demand characteristics, as long as there's enough power during the day to cope with demand and recharging, there should be plenty of storage for overnight usage.

What is this current trend of being "anti" [insert your favorite hated component here], without even offering an alternative or a precise description of what is being proposed?

What do you mean by "won't allow"

What's "online" with a "quick response" - suppose you step away for 45 mins to work out? Is someone giving you a hard time because your response time to an email or a Slack message is not immediate? Does that question or inquiry need to be handled that quickly?

Lots of things like this seem like a failure to set expectations. We're allowed to deliberately block our calendars, right? That might mean you close your email and do an hour of work solid, or work out, or run an errand. But it's possible, with some deliberate calendar planning, and frankly transparency with those expecting something from you.

"I won't be available for the next 45 mins because [X]" is a pretty easy statement to deliver

Write down. Make a system which you can trust you can come back to that thing and think about it.

When I drive and listen to an audiobook, I sometimes have to stop, make a note, and only then I can keep driving. If I don't stop to make a note I am going to miss either the rest of the audiobook or the idea I just had.

Writing the idea down lets me safely "park it" for later and focus on the rest of the audiobook.

This only works when you can trust the idea comes back when you can do something about it.

I am using a compromise/modified GTD (Getting Things Done) system. I have a bunch of folders for my projects and each has special NOTES document where I write down anything pertaining to the project. So the next time I come back to think about that project the idea/task/whatever I just wrote will come back to me and I will be able to do something about it.
