The breath rate application really got my mind turning here— replacing 2 wearables (breath monitor, fall monitor) with a wireless device, and pulse sensing can already be done by video. Imagine walking into a hospital room or grandma’s home & having full bio monitoring with no tubes or cables…
True. But I also feel like 2x is inherently better than 1.7x. I'm not a graphics expert, but there's gotta be a reason Apple has stuck to 2x at all costs with every machine they've made for the last 8 years.
Yep, and that alone is enough for it to be too much a PITA to the average user. Modify a shortcut? Oh you mean all of them? Oh the Start Menu is customizable? Well I'm on a Mac. Well sometimes it doesn't work... wait what do you mean other programs can have opened Firefox and I have to reopen it with the right profile? I'm in the other profile now but the wrong stuff is there! (they didn't manually customize the secondary profile to be visually distinct). "just start with the -p flag" avoids the user accessibility issue with the technical answer repeated.

These are obviously answered problems for anyone on HN but not obvious problems for the majority of users that have never even installed an extension (even an adblocker). Chrome avoids all of these by automatically managing the shortcuts (clearly named), providing clear in-browser always visible UI about multiple profiles (also clearly marked), and explaining to the user how to make/manage them in app.

This is before getting into problems Chrome shares with Firefox like not syncing local profiles or issues with the way things work on Android.

Well, retail and food service is a classic example of a high-turnover industry.
For me at least, Google sends me monthly (quarterly?) updates on my location history and prompts me to review it. I assume people get this by default, and so anyone checking their google account email would see these emails and open them to see literally every single destination of theirs is permanently saved. They don't exactly hide it.

Not defending Google, they suck. But in this one instance I don't think it's that much of a dirty secret or anything. Just an open dirty behavior.
I got hired for my dream job at Cruise, and then was offered near-as-makes-no-difference 3x the TC to work with a friend a week later. I basically completed the new-hire onboarding and then quit. It fucking hurt to do that. What I saw there made me a believer. Cruise is doing amazing shit.
As a taxpayer who pays for roads, and suffers from traffic congestion caused by one-occupant and zero-occupant vehicles, I'm eagerly looking forward to reducing the taxes I pay, by taxing those margins, instead.

Ideally, the taxes could be high enough that driverless taxis will operate at barely above break-even. The financial comfort of me and my neighbours are more important to me than the profit margins of a firm that barely employs anyone in my town.

Unlike a factory or a corporate office (that can threaten to move offshore, eliminating jobs and impoverishing a town), the firm in question is a hostage of local politics - not the other way around.

Getting to the truth is really difficult.

For example, in a court of law, where you have a handful of jurors, some witnesses, a carefully curated set of rules, and highly trained professionals guiding the process. Errors are made.
The truth is not always found and an innocent person gets locked up or a guilty one walks free.

Epistemology is an ancient practice. In the western tradition this was first pointed out over 2,000 years ago.

Then there is the problem that human beings are not rational actors and it gets a whole lot messier.
I basically agree with that, though I'd say that lower voltage motors are sometimes useful in conversions, since they usually have a smaller battery pack than what would be in an OEM vehicle (due to weight, cost, and having limited space to put the battery). Lower voltage doesn't really stop you from salvaging all those other parts from an OEM vehicle. I think it's usually just the motor controller and DC-DC converter that run at the full pack voltage. DC fast charging is a problem if the charger doesn't support the lower voltage.

I have wondered whether the Hyper9 can actually run at a higher voltage without damage. I suppose the limiting factors are the insulation on the motor windings and the ability to dissipate heat. (The motor demagnetizes if it gets too hot, which is why the motor has a temperature sensor so the controller can back off before that happens.) The Hyper9 comes with a motor controller that's limited to 180 volts (that's for the 144v nominal version). I don't know if anyone's tried to run a Hyper9 with a different controller that can handle much higher voltage, like 300 or 400v.

From "Hosting SQLite Databases on GitHub Pages" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28021766 https://westurner.github.io/hnlog/#comment-28021766 :

DuckDB can query [and page] Parquet from GitHub, sql.js-httpvfs, sqltorrent, File System Access API (Chrome only so far; IDK about resource quotas and multi-GB datasets), serverless search with WASM workers

https://github.com/phiresky/sql.js-httpvfs :

> sql.js is a light wrapper around SQLite compiled with EMScripten for use in the browser (client-side).

> This [sql.js-httpvfs] repo is a fork of and wrapper around sql.js to provide a read-only HTTP-Range-request based virtual file system for SQLite. It allows hosting an SQLite database on a static file hoster and querying that database from the browser without fully downloading it.

> The virtual file system is an emscripten filesystem with some "smart" logic to accelerate fetching with virtual read heads that speed up when sequential data is fetched. It could also be useful to other applications, the code is in lazyFile.ts. It might also be useful to implement this lazy fetching as an SQLite VFS [*] since then SQLite could be compiled with e.g. WASI SDK without relying on all the emscripten OS emulation.
The job of a teacher at a university is not to simply answer questions, but to manage (this is a term of art) a classroom for tens to hundreds of students at a time. One aspect of classroom management is mediating interpersonal conflicts, which happen often at scale and can hinge on issues relating to gender, race, religion, and other sensitive personal matters.

If you just want someone to answer questions on a subject matter, then a tutor is what you’re looking for. If you want to be a part of a student body, then you want someone who is not just good at answering questions, but can also effectively manage a classroom. Otherwise you’re in store for 14 weeks of confusion and chaos.

I remember being a teen when Google Health rolled out (checking online now they gave up on it in 2012, no surprise) and writing down the entirety of my medical history in it.
GPS is pretty battery intensive.

Your phone is already gathering a list of every SSID it touches every second. If Google can eliminate the need to use GPS to confirm that you are sitting at your desk, it can eliminate a bunch of needless GPS calculations.

The big pain point imo is that apple maps doesn't crawl for local business information as well as google. Many local businesses in LA do not show up on apple maps but have a presence on google maps. I wonder why apple maps engineers don't just crawl google maps and steal this data from them, I'm sure google would do the same.

My understanding is that they keep a record of SSID’s and their GPS-mapped location to know your exact location when you connect.

Google has done really dark stuff with WiFi networks before, like when it came out that their StreetView cars were wardriving and intercepting data: https://www.wired.com/2012/05/google-wifi-fcc-investigation/

> The design document showed that, in addition to collecting data that Google could use to map the location of wireless access points, Engineer Doe intended to collect, store, and analyze payload data from unencrypted Wi-Fi networks

At this point, I’m skeptical of any data I provide Google; they are masterminds at combining multiple points of data into something useful.

Very cool. I'm following a similar goal but interacting with services via their existing APIs[0]. Just making that way way easier. QuickJS is such an awesome creation.

It's your goal for applications to adopt your library as a generic extension mechanism? I really like this idea.

Yes, tapping that regenerative power will be a major step towards wheels directly geared to a clutchless motor which will then eliminate drive train losses. And I think alot of motors dont do regen in any major way yet.

The problem with regen is its too spiky and lithium ion charging doesnt like that unlike lead acid which can handle it, but using multiple battery options is becoming more normal. Cars fitted with stop start technology typically have an additional battery using either the newer cheaper Enhanced Cyclic Mat (ECM) batteries and the more older more expensive Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries, but they work.
I timed a very simple loop in C: "for (volatile int i=0; i<N; i++);" (handful of arithmetic, compare and branch instructions) with N=1e9 and it was 70% the speed of native which looks really good.
I'd love to see LINPACK now :)
My issue is it lacks a lot of local businesses. No point in using it if I have to go to google to find the business address anyhow.
This has a dual purpose.
From your perspective, that's true. It gives a better and faster lock on location.
But at the same time, it associate the WIFI with a location with the accuracy of a GPS.
So when you go into your laptop which has no GPS, the WiFi which you connect now has a real location association with it.
Presto. Now Google can track your real location on your laptop and any other WiFi enabled device.
That's really absurd. People make food for friends and build everything from furniture to vehicles for fun in their garages without complying with any professional standards or laws all the time. How many people on Hackaday or any DIY site have ISO compliant or OSHA inspected labs? Existing regulations are not

I just started using c2rust on openjpeg [0] (jpeg 2000 encoder/decoder) today and already have it working as a drop in replacement for the C libopenjp2.so on Linux. Still has a lot of unsafe code, but it does work. Which will be a big help with testing during refactoring to idiomatic safe Rust.

c2rust also has a refactor command that helps with refactoring the generated Rust code.

I'd argue the US has not tried to understand the enemy since the Cuban missile crisis.
There are more failures outside of Afghanistan, and I think the US is going to walk right into another one.
Cost is not the only point he was making. The problem you need to solve is not just “Is there something?”, but also “What is it? And where is it going to move?”. LIDAR cannot do that. Or at least if you get LIDAR to do that, then you would have also been able to get it done with a camera, in which case you wouldn’t have needed LIDAR in the first place.

LIDAR certainly is the low hanging fruit when it comes to the firmer question though (i.e. what is there in my path right now).
I think the miscommunication is around "shuts everything down". Some of us are reading that as an emergency power-off event far beyond normal thermal throttling, which is just a reduction in clock speeds within the typical variable clock range of the power management system.

I don't know if it still holds, but some older systems also had a third category of throttling in between the normal speed range and an emergency power off. They would stutter badly as if they were applying some duty cycle and alternating between a suspended state and a slowly clocked state. This would show up as really frustrating IO buffering and UI latency, similar to how a machine might behave if it were stuck in a virtual-memory swapping storm and processes would freeze/unfreeze sporadically.
There are < 1500 validators on Solana at the moment. That is about a single row in a datacenter. If Solana wants to continue avoiding a majority attack, that node count will have to scale. Solana is PoS which is better than PoW but still has way more power usage as it's still a blockchain than Visa.
> But take this example - I have read/heard about semi-feral cats which were regularly fed for over a year by somebody before allowing to be touched.

This is true of individual cats, but not at all for cats as an entire species. I regularly feed semi-feral cats and even took one in. There is tremendous variety in how long it takes before they'll let you touch them. In some cases, it's never. In some cases, it's right away. I'd reckon an average case is maybe about a month. It presumably depends heavily on individual personality plus whatever history of trauma from other large animals and people they have already experienced before they ever met you.

I disagree. There is a history of issues in the industry, and with audience exposure that makes things much more complex than with certain other genres.

If reggae has been around this long yet Sting, UB40, Boy George, Snow, 311, Sublime, and Matisyahu are probably the people most Americans would think of as the best musicians making reggae music, it might show a bit of inherent cultural bias for both the industry and listeners...
No, the SSIDs are used to assist the GPS on where the user is located. Likewise, the data is used to triangulate a user in a specific business/location without needing access to GPS (some more nefarious uses: user is connected to "Joe's Psychiatry Wifi" every Wednesday, maybe we could group the user as a depressed adult for advertisers).
I was exaggerating, but the demographic slump that happened as a result of WW1 was a problem for french military planners, which is why a large portion of their army were reservists or badly trained.

Per your other point, you're shifting the terrain of the discussion. WW1 was almost a pure losers war, and yet, most of the same states engaged in WW2. That's the crazy decision. WW2, on the other hand, had relative winners (although I think the US would have done well regardless, and the USSR got to be a global superpower (which it was already) at an appalling cost).

Another thing that bothers me about the whole 'MAD prevented the cold war from going hot' is that none of the generals at the time thought like that. People didn't really start thinking about nuclear weapons as anything other than just big bombs until well into the cold war. That's why MacArthur advocated their use in China.
It's good to hear a CEO say "we don't know the answer, but we're making a bet" rather than the typical Elizabeth Holmes style "We are absolutely correct and first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you get convicted of three counts of wire fraud and go to prison".
That could easily run afoul of 10DLC unless you go through the process of registering your number with the carriers for A2P traffic (something Twilio or the another aggregator normally does for you.)
Apparently, you see no difference in the goals of "shaping public opinion" and misleading people (with or without facts).

I'm not interested in defending the NYT. I'm just interested in the judgements of other people about the NYT that seem to me to be, shall we say, a little over the top.

And note: I think it would as true of SSC/SA as the NYT that they seek to shape public opinion in a direction that aligns with their worldview. If you speak publically, and don't speak complete jibberish, what else are you doing than seeking to shape public opinion?
Thank you! That's a great idea and it's what I'm working towards. I'd like the ability to connect your diagrams to various event sources or even metadata, to help keep them alive. At the moment though, I'm trying to put together the building blocks to get there.
MariaDB is more closely aligned with Wordpress and PHP in terms of licensing. I sort of assumed that most users of (FL)OSS who had previously used MySQL would be using MariaDB by now, but based on comments in this topic I must be wrong.
I have always detested Google and am a longtime Apple user. I use Maps exclusively and like it perfectly well. Occasionally there is an update that makes it a bit dumber but, that always goes away.

It's very difficult imagine the marginal benefit of a different app that would overcome their strong brand commitment to privacy for me.
Is all of that necessary to LD_PRELOAD sockets and tunnel them over WebSockets, WebRTC, etc?

So e.g. curl doesn't work without (File System Access API,) local storage && translation of e.g. at least normal curl syscalls to just HTTP/3?
They've always been coercive. You've never been able to use GPS passively without Play Services phoning your location home to Google, since the earliest days of Android. They would pop up a confirmation box asking you to agree to data collection, and if you declined, then GPS would remain off. It was a major influence in my decision to never, ever run a Googled Android on my phone. I just can't trust any company with that level of invasive surveillance. It's my line in the sand.
Great point. Thanks for the honest feedback!
Thank you for sharing! Sharing details on how your system works brings confidence to customers...
Good idea.

Even better, the buttons could have e-paper labels to show what function they perform.

Illegal actions and unsafe actions are not the same thing. Laws exist to make us safer, but they aren't perfect.
