Not that NordicTrack cares about purchases from l'il ol' me in the larger scheme of things, this is precisely why we didn't buy a NordicTrack treadmill despite being tickled with our NordicTrack rowing machine: that screen is there for NordicTrack's benefit, not yours. Sure, I'm a software engineer as well as owning a soldering iron and knowing how to use it. But if I've got to unsolder/resolder wires or cut traces on my brand-new machine to get the functionality I thought I paid for, I bought the wrong machine. If I have to use a software hack that is one update away from not working anymore, I have purchased the wrong machine. I'll let others rant about not being able to use the hardware that one paid for, I'm just not going to pay for the HW in the first place. (And, honestly, how many of us on HN need another screen around the house?)

It's disappointing, too, because we're quite satisfied with our NT rowing machine, which was purchased right before the "big screen" models, and we would otherwise recommend it. But now you can't buy the one with the cheap LCD display like we have and just bring your own screen, you have to get proprietary screen models now. So I don't recommend their rowing machines anymore, either.

After much research, we bought a treadmill from Horizon fitness[0]. We've been nothing but happy with it, which is their top-of-the-line 7.8. It has BT for music to play over the built-in speakers, and it works fine with Zwift and even the iFit subscription that NordicTrack pushes (it just won't auto-control the treadmill speed/incline, which is a-okay by me). BT streams your data to Zwift, et. al., including speed/incline/HR. It has a built-in stand for your tablet, though anyone on HN ought to be able to rig some cheap 27" 4k monitor in there somehow (we use a wall-mount for the rowing machine that swivels for general purpose use). The spouse and I have used it with Zwift, iFit, and Apple Fitness+, though Zwift is the only one that cares about data from the BT stream. As running goes I used to be fast, but now I'm just old and still faster than most, and it does everything I need for dark, rainy PNW days. I use it for tempo and intervals on occasion as well, and the one-button presets for interval/recovery are nice so when I'm gasping for breath I just need to be able to push the recovery button.

Anyway, no association whatsoever with Horizon, just a very satisfied customer.

I don't have GamePass but do find it intriguing. The value prop is completely on the other end. It's not wondering if you can play (or replay) some older game that you want in particular. It's when a new game comes out or you are in the mood for something you haven't played before, you can go to the page and find something to at least try for zero marginal cost. If you play or are interested in a broad swath of games, eliminating that initial hump of whether you want to invest money into it is a different ball game.

It's really is literally just Netflix of games. Not great at all when you want to watch Movie X, better if you want to just watch some movie, and the only way when you want their in house productions which in theory are striving to be high quality. GamePass isn't to that final level of exclusivity yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if some game goes "Only on GamePass" in the nearish future.

It's also similar to Netflix in that if your usecase was the old "Just streaming The Office only" you could probably just purchase it. A mono game player would definitely be better served just buying the title they want for $60 rather than a monthly fee, but it starts to get more attractive at just a few games per year.
One of the failure modes for chips as they move to smaller process nodes is electromigration.

>Electromigration is the movement of atoms based on the flow of current through a material. If the current density is high enough, the heat dissipated within the material will repeatedly break atoms from the structure and move them. This will create both ‘vacancies’ and ‘deposits’. The vacancies can grow and eventually break circuit connections resulting in open-circuits, while the deposits can grow and eventually close circuit connections resulting in short-circuit.

Chips that get very hot are expected to be the first to show this sort of failure.

>In Black’s equation, which is used to compute the mean time to failure of metal lines, the temperature of the conductor appears in the exponent

I also hate their pricing model. So far we are below 200GB and after that we can open another account for my wife. I hope they increase the limit before we reach 400 GB.

Given that capitalism describes a mode of production, it literally is still capitalism. Capitalism is not feudalism in that serfdom is not the primary working relationship between classes in capitalism - though Yanis Varoufakis seems to think that we're headed that way.

"I hate this car. It is so complicated and it doesn't even take gas!"
I think that's the key. If self-driving cars ever reach a level of ubiquity, it's going to be on large, open roads and highways. Urban areas will still require a human driving.
Isn't that a bit of a false dichotomy? GP is specifically calling out that self driving technology has limitations (and specifically as they pertain to car accidents being edge cases in the first place). Self driving tech hasn't proven itself to be better than human drivers outside of controlled environments, nor are these two options the only options available (e.g. more investment in public transit and alternate forms of transport come to mind as being very closely related to the problem space)

By all means, improve the tech and show us that it can in fact put out better-than-status-quo safety numbers, but it's important to not confuse potential with wishful thinking.
Humans are actually really good at driving - we had just assumed it was easy because anyone could do it.

Driving plays to our two key strengths - tool use, and cooperation. Indeed, the car becomes an extension of our body, and the road is our forum.
Your aside reminds me of the PSP hacking days. Whenever there was an update, you'd have to hold it and check forums to see if it patched your root exploit.
A philosophical idea may not have meaningful implications within the scope of physics, but that doesn’t make it useless.

Rietdijk–Putnam argument, for example, appears to sort of elevate the idea of differing planes of simultaneity, taken from special relativity, to an idea of a four-dimensional universe. It’s a curious thought experiment and I wonder how it reconciles with a model where the universe is considered to be 4D with the fourth dimension being time. My intuition doesn’t work all that well beyond three dimension so I can’t tell if those are essentially the same or not.

It’s not falsifiable, but neither is string theory.

Given how much money you can charge as a consultant, is not terribly hard to live well within your limits and tolerate a temporary lack of jobs.

That can be the chance to learn something or build some other passive income stream.

I think the main problem is that most people, once they can charge 1000£ per day, they go and blow a lot of it on expensive holidays and an expensive lifestyle.
Yeah I just read the article and it’s very clear they were out of touch and a pretty terrible person. Then they transition and are shocked about being passed on when they would have done the same thing before they transitioned. I don’t feel like there is much self awareness even coming through for them after their experiences. I guess the article succeeded in getting a reaction out of me, person who contributed to toxic culture shocked to experience it first hand.
I am willing to bet that most people will choose to do nothing. It’s being human after all to simply conserve your energy.

And most of the ones pursuing their passions will do redundant, useless crap like countless blogs and TikTok videos.

One normal 16TB drive + two external 14TB backup drives which are being used in alternating order.

I would consider it the minimal defense against certain technical malfunctions. I should add another offline copy at some relatives, to protect against the 'house burns down' scenario.

Using an online service could help against the time between the backup cycles, but that is the least of my concerns and online services have their own set of problems.

Full Self Driving means that the car is capable of driving itself, not that it can handle all situations autonomously.

A counter example, the package of Cheezits says "made with 100% real cheese", even though they are not 100% cheese, cheese is the 3rd ingredient, below flour and oil, but of the cheese used in the product, it's 100% real cheese. (so it makes it a meaningless statement, I guess they mean "no artificial cheese flavoring")
But there are polls and the TSA has public support.

It would be interesting to see how the API compares to https://opensky-network.org/apidoc/index.html

Airplanes seen by the OpenSky Network are associated with flight state information derived from ADS-B and Mode S messages. The state of an aircraft is a summary of all tracking information (mainly position, velocity, and identity) at a certain point in time. These states of aircraft can be retrieved as state vectors in the form of a JSON object.
Normally you can block any device's update if you figure out the server for the update content/update check, and block it out from your router and/or DNS.
Lots of good answers here already, but wanted to chime in. I recently bought a Blu-ray burner with M-disc support. Plan to buy or put together a NAS of some sort eventually, but also have been working through making backups of my most critical data onto M-disc Blu-rays.
Yep, my company changed from dedicated roles to full stack, then to devops. There was no salary range adjustment.

Well, any other one would require that people on the intelligence community, whose work consists mostly on either using dossiers to compromise people or avoiding the creation of dossiers so people aren't compromised to not noticing that they are collecting a dossier on every citizen or not being aware that will lead to people being compromised... and incompetence or dishonesty not being involved.

Backblaze used to have a pricing model where they limit how much you can upload per month but not directly how much you can store in total.

The "speedy" part of the sixth amendment is interpreted very loosely.
Intel still had leading edge node supremacy at that point, and everyone go caught with their pants down with the end of Dennard scaling. AMD simply lucked out that they weren't designing a core to hit 10Ghz in the first place (because what would become GloFo didn't have the node chops to even pretend that they could hit that in the first place even ignoring Dennard scaling issues). AMD therefore didn't have to pull slower mobile core designs off of the back burner like Intel had to which took time to readjust.

Intel's in a much worse position now. Their process woes aren't issues that the rest of the industry will hit in a year or so like the end of Dennard scaling was.
> In fair comparisons self-driving cars aren't even close.

Please reference a fair comparison.

AFAICT, we only have the unfair comparisons from Tesla, which say that Autopilot has an accident rate 1/5th compared to when it's disabled, and that Full Self Driving Beta has 0 accidents total. Neither of those comparisons are fair, but that's the best we have, AFAICT.
Based on?

I don’t know Aella, so I cannot speak to the comfortability of her existence, but I’d assume her attractiveness and circumstances and her public persona bring fairly unique challenges (eg. stalkers) that I cannot fathom.

My own hunch is that I probably lead a far more comfortable existence than her, but I’m only supposing.

> that page has a quite balanced view of pros and cons of existing hint systems

I found the cons section somewhat disappointing given how much respect I have for Postgresql maintainers in general.

Most of the "problems" are essentially manifestations of dysfunction within users or PostgreSQL development itself. People won't report optimizer bugs if they can fix them themselves, etc. (far more likely they won't report the bugs if they have no way to prove their alternative query plan actually performs better, eg: by adding a hint).

Many are just assertions which I highly doubt would hold up if validated ("most of the time the optimizer is actually right", "hints in queries require massive refactoring" ...).
From a regulatory standpoint it's mostly about water usage. Water efficiency standards have gotten stringent enough that electromechanical washers are effectively illegal.
I’m not trying to be obtuse but I genuinely don’t understand what the difference between the terms ”full self-driving” and “autonomous driving” are. They’re synonymous to me, and I have to imagine they are to the average person.
Please do not conflate opposition to the Israeli state with anti-Jewishness. There are millions of diaspora Jews living in the US who do not accept that conflation and are not fans of Israel.

I highly doubt this, at least at any occurence to reasonably allow one to get such a job. I have yet to see any easy jobs that are senior or higher. Even my current midlevel job sucks.
You can be even more creative than that.

Almost thirty years ago, my wife and I were in the process of adopting our two sons (now in their thirties). I had defined my career at the time as a Software engineer for hire (consultant). Technical projects, then and now, really require full attention and devotion to getting things done so I had to find a way to step out of that for a while without losing too much money or technical chops.

I found a position as a Technical Writer having Software reverse-engineering skills which was a step off of the more intense technical treadmill. Over time I found that experience complemented my original trajectory as companies are always looking for better communicators.

Given the rate of change, managing your career in consideration to your life goals is worth curating.
When I bought a laptop in 2012, the first thing I did was wipe the drive and install Windows from scratch.

If I were to do that today, I'd do the same thing.
Note that Dell uses different hardware inside machines between the Windows and Linux SKUs for the same model (mostly: wifi and bluetooth, but occasionally other things).

Exactly. Generally consultants can reduce their tax liability in various ways.

Gig workers who not earning enough would be better off with a permie low paid job, if they were able to get one.
Unfortunately, a lot of people are not useful enough to society to contribute and live in some places - I think the solution is to send them somewhere else where they can be useful and find a job.
When the accident happened, it didn't. That was added in 2020.

The difference is that nobody is avoiding WVR dogfights just so they can get shot down by a missile in BVR or a SAM. Nobody is getting within range of a dogfight nowadays because these other weapons are so extraordinarily dominant.

Why don't we have an Uber for buses yet? Has this been tried anywhere? Not necessarily a for-profit company, but an app that people could use that would offer potentially better routes / trip times. So the bus wouldn't have to hit locations where no-one was getting picked up / dropped off, etc..

Yes this. I've had it with ads that pop up filling up the screen while I'm reading halfway through a sentence, spewing cookies all over the place, and loading megabytes of JavaScripts on a 2G connection.

They can all pay the consequences now of me blocking them.

If they had been well-behaved and stuck to inline ads with no cookies, I would have left them there.
People disagree about this stuff. Whether context matters, whether art should be beautiful, whether skill should be involved in making art, it's uncalled for to include a sentence like:

I like plenty of abstract art but I find plenty irritating and I agree with the parent poster that it shouldn't be the norm.

Maaaybe.

The public statement from them sounds like it was legal whining about liability issues, and if that's actually true (which, well) then if it has to be sufficiently intentional on your part that may be sufficient for them to leave well alone.

Certainly worth preparing for that not being the case though.
I've not regretted quitting a job but I have regretted joining the company that I jumped to.

At least with that, I think that's exactly what the audience wanted. Anyone who wanted a different (and mechanically easier) game has Starcraft II.
It does not, "autopilot" is what Tesla calls adaptive cruise control and lanekeeping assist. Attempting to obey stop signs and traffic lights is part of "full self driving."

https://www.tesla.com/support/autopilot

Only defense I can imagine is that he was misled by Tesla's "autopilot" naming and and thought the car would drive itself.

Outside of that the story is basically "driver puts on cruise control, blows through red light without braking, kills two people."

EDIT: since the crash was in 2019, here's an older version of that page http://web.archive.org/web/20190906125836/https://www.tesla....

> Autopilot is an advanced driver assistance system that enhances safety and convenience behind the wheel. When used properly, Autopilot reduces your overall workload as a driver. 8 external cameras, a radar, 12 ultrasonic sensors and a powerful onboard computer provide an additional layer of safety to guide you on your journey. Cars built between September 2014 and October 2016 include one camera and less-powerful radar and ultrasonic sensors.

> Autopilot is intended for use with a fully attentive driver, who has their hands on the wheel and is prepared to take over at any time. While Autopilot is designed to become more capable over time, in its current form, it is not a self-driving system. There are five levels of automation and Autopilot is currently classified as a Level 2 automated system according to SAE J3016, which is endorsed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

I can't say that 100% for certain since Tesla's features come and go with software updates, and the above excerpt doesn't get very specific on capabilities. But I don't believe it knew how to stop for stoplights at the time.
