Because it's not Waymo. It suggests that Waymo has a real competitor and Waymo-level tech has been replicated outside Waymo and their long lead over everyone else is evaporating because they have (to outside appearances) dithered so long. (One wonders if Waymo would even have 'been doing it for 6 months already' in SF if Cruise hadn't been ramping up in SF the past few years...)
Themis | Senior Product Manager | NYC (HQ) and/or Remote (Anywhere between Texas <=> Ukraine) | Full-time

Themis is github for governance.

We are seeking a senior product manager with a history in compliance and fintech to join the initial team and orchestrate the creative version for how Themis will be customer ready out of the box. https://jobs.wrk.xyz/themis/23910

Governance of up and coming fintech products doesn't have to be an obstacle. These new companies need tools which simplify daily governance and help them focus on their platform's core value.

Themis is putting governance on rails for companies who previously had to maintain large teams of employees for governance. Sharing of governance information is streamlined to demonstrate good controls to both auditors and regulators. We're currently working with new disruptive companies in defi, crypto, and neobanks and established community/larger banks.

We have seed funding and are in pilot testing with our first wave of customers. Learn more at https://www.askthemis.com/
Haha, fair enough
From another non-rust programmer: all bugs you could write in C will still be there in the transpiled code and the parts that happen to not be bugs will still look as indistinguishable from bugs as they did before. Likely even more indistinguishable than before, because chances are you are better at reading idiomatic C than at reading the anti-idiomatic rust created by the transpiler. But there will likely be some low-hanging fruits of code that can subsequently be changed into idiomatic rust that simply cannot encode certain classes of bugs (without becoming as un-idiomatic as the transpiler output).
Do you also post Russian or North Korean responses when discussions involving these countries occur?

Israel is currently governed by a bunch of corrupt jerks motivated by a racist ideology, their officials response don't deserve more credit than Kim Jong-Un's.

It's not a problem with Israel or the Israeli people (most of whom just wish they could live their life in peace in the country they are born in, bearing no responsibility for the troubled times during and following the creation of Israel), but there is a big problem with those politicians benefiting the state of permanent war they are themselves creating to push a colonialist agenda.
I feel like the Framework doesn't rate very highly on that spectrum. It seems like it's motherboard is replaceable as a single unit, just like every other laptop.

For example, if you watch Louis Rossmann's videos, you'll see that a typical repair he does is replacing the power driver IC for the display on MacBooks, which would be a motherboard replacement if done by Apple themselves.

On the framework, I don't see why it would be less effort.
Excellent work. Stuff like this is why I read HN.
I feel you on this. Having done a lot of Python consulting for engineers and scientists, it is absolutely the case that most non-programmers have -zero- model of what I/O latency and bandwidth limitations look like. They are looking at programming APIs, and their mental models can include concepts like files and even byte layouts within files. But they generally have no working model of how a physical computer actually implements those things.

I've definitely seen file I/O in the middle of FORTRAN loops. Entirely correct from a functional perspective, and total disaster from an actual runtime perspective.
If you look at historical data for CPUs, RAM, and storage, all three have pretty much followed the same curve, modulo a delta for either the cost per unit or units at a given price.

RAM itself is transitors, so the same factors governing CPU production (mask and die size) apply. For storage, the situation is somewhat different in the case of tape and spinning rust, though for SSD again it's basically transistors.

Keep in mind that Moore's Law is less about the physics of the Universe than an agreement between those developing and producing semiconductors and their market. Eventually physics will intrude, but to that point it's largely a matter of markets, finance, and investments.
> Definitely thought it was ironic the NYT bought a “competitor” after constantly complaining about big tech doing it over the years.

You shouldn't conflate the New York Times Company with the people who write articles for the New York Times (or even its editorial board). They're not the same entity. Apologies if somehow that's not actually what you're doing, but my experience is when someone talks about the "NYT complaining" they're pretty much always talking about a general impression of its opinion pages.
depends a bit on the specific setup if and where it's exposed. dmidecode can sometimes see it, and various other bits might also log it so it's worth poking around dmesg/journalctl/...
I believe that this is one of the worst ideas about modern cars I have ever heard.

It's almost equivalent to saying that we should replace all metal knives in kitchens with plastic knives.
"There is no reason why a person should be able to use a metal knife to hurt someone else."

Some of the problems with your idea :
1) A lot of places don't have speed signs - then should we allow people to drive 130 in 80 zone?
2) Outdated / incorrect signs - not every place on the planet has properly maintained roads.
3) AI mistake - if an AI mistake leads a car to read 50 kmph as 30 kmph, what then? Should the driver suffer?
4) Emergencies - have you ever been in one? Imagine if your car led to someone's death because you didn't trust people with their own car
5) Empty roads - if you have an empty road in front of you, you can go 110-120 in 80 zone. This practice is followed at every single place on the planet.
etc. etc.

You know the worst part about your idea? It's so insane that it actually will be implemented in the next 5-10 years. That's the part I hate the most. Bad ideas are not a problem, but actually implementing them is.

All it takes is 1 exec in Tesla who thinks like you or who has had a loved one die by overspeeding.

Any opposition to your idea can be crushed by saying "do you want people to die by overspeeding"?

We won't ban alcohol, but we want to ban overspeeding. The irony!
Honestly, I have the opposite experience. I pressurize around 50-55PSI and do at least 2 carbonation cycles, venting in-between. Using cold water is also key, so I keep a 2L full of flat water for later carbonation - we swap between 2-3 bottles. I've recarbonated flat Dr. Pepper and it truly tasted like a fresh cracked can, carbonation and all.

We've also tried carbonating blueberries, which was really interesting. It didn't work great, but we noticed the fizziness and it'll probably be something I try again soon - perhaps using a chamber with a bigger opening than a 2L's.
Just recently I saw a headline about former Bezos wife selling $8B of Amazon stock. Does not seem to have affected the price all that much. She is probably going to have to pay $2B in taxes for that transaction.
I was interested in validating or invalidating the mach 4 number. I guess it depends on the specific rocket, but the 122 mm M-21OF-M Rocket, sometimes referred to as Katyusha (although that was the name of a specific launcher, not the rocket [0]) is 660 m/s or about mach 2 [1].

I have 3 thoughts:
(1) Amazing to see progress, lets make self driving cars a reality!
(2) Oh, its another limited private beta like Waymo has been doing. I'd like to actually use these, and this doesn't seem that much closer.
(3) What the heck does Cruise's cap table look like anymore? Acquired by GM, then almost immediately spun back out?
Then I assume you'd get safe, "unsafe" Rust code.
We'll never reach the end of the cycle.

Utility != usability. Synthesizers can create any sound, but which sounds they make easy to create has an enormous influence on what music is actually created using them.
I use OsmAnd~ 4.0.x[0], F-Droid packges of OsmAnd+, under Android 5.x for three years already for bike journeys.

Sadly, since OsmAnd+ 4.1.x it requires Android 6+ to work.

Looking inside changelog of OsmAnd+ I really can't understand why Android 5.x support was dropped.

Actually I can't decide where to move next after OsmAnd: Organic Maps[1], Pocket Maps[2] or something else.

Also from-time-to-time tested Navit[3], but its GUI is far away from what I'm looking for.

It's one thing for a midsize company to grow revenue 41% but for a massive global corporation with 156,000 employees to do it is nothing short of astounding.

And this giant, mature company isn't sacrificing margins for top-line growth, they're actually increasing margins at the same time.

Truly breathtaking.
That’s a lot of snark for such an obtuse comment. Obviously we should fix our laws, but in the meantime we shouldn’t imperil ourselves and everyone around us just to pacify the people who lobby their municipal governments for unsafe speed limits.
I think that's part of the author's point. These acquisitions happen early enough that it's not clear whether or not Instagram, Wordle, etc. would be competitive businesses.

However, I don't want to work in a regulatory environment that says I can't sell my small business to some larger company on the off chance it might some day be significant on its own.
But what's the problem with revealing your SSID/mac address to Google or anyone else?

Also - it's still probably possible with satellites or extra sensitive gear (sats already monitor marine AIS).
A concept I've thought about in this same area is some kind of color coding of words to help children learn how to decode words at the level of syllables. So for instance "please" might be "plea" and "se" – avoiding the sounding of of "pa la eh ah [no, they go together as an ee sound] sa eh? [silent e]". Lots of vowel insertion that makes it very hard to actually assemble those sounds into a word!

But in another way this could be a kind of overlay of information. Maybe it shows how words are split, maybe it's to disambiguate different pronunciations of "ea", ... I'm not sure what's the most important added information. But overlaid on the words it might be a kind of scaffolding that makes it easier for kids to successfully read words and gain the practice that makes it possible to remove that scaffolding.

There's a lot to think about there when it comes to reading (not to mention a ton of pedagogical knowledge)... I'm not sure I have the space to be a solid collaborator, but I do find this stuff interesting to talk about sometime...
I think it's telling that Python blew up in popularity back when it didn't have type hints, and also when it was competing with other statically-typed languages out in the wild. A programming language that did away with a lot of ceremony turned out to be useful for a lot of people.

I think static types are useful in general, and they pay off fairly quickly for code at scale. But I also think the overhead of writing statically-typed code is not 0, and there's a long tail of small scripts and applications that don't benefit from being statically typed, and that's where something like Python is useful.
Not the GP, but to me the only difference between firmware and software is that firmware is often (but not always) "burned" right into a piece of hardware, which is usually a chip that has a microcontroller of some sort inside it. The PC BIOS is also called firmware sometimes - because it is "burned" into the PC itself.

A device driver, on the other hand, can be implemented in software or firmware, or, usually these days, as a combination of both. Drivers indeed are magic - since they usually designed to interact with, and to control, physical systems, they must work in real time, and writing a driver requires understanding the system's behavior to a minute detail.

The software could require a trip to the dealer for a visual inspection of the tires at set intervals. Hopefully free of charge for something so simple. A quick hookup to the computer and the interval is reset.

> They and their VC backers are clearly betting on the concept that radars + lidar + imaging will be the ultimate successful solution in full self driving cars, as a completely opposite design and engineering philosophy from Tesla attempting to do "full self driving" with camera sensors and categorical rejection of lidar.

Tesla's approach is a textbook case of premature optimization.
Can we just cut to the chase?

1) We'll not see true FSD in any car for, maybe, another 10-20 years.

2) Those who bought Tesla FSD should ask for a refund.

3) Musk will be forced to release FSD-lite, which will be advanced lane assist.

4) Until said 10-20 years have passed, you will always be required to monitor FSD.

This is my point. I actually enjoy driving. It would drive me nuts to become the supervisor of my car. And that's the eventual end result of FSD.

You shall become the supervisor of your car. Don't forget to schedule some one-to-one performance reviews, and a performance plan.
The thought-out version of this is called Georgism. It proposes a (close to) 100% tax on the unimproved value of land. Economists agree the tax can't be passed on to renters, for reasons I can't articulate.

> I don't want to start a tangent comparing every aspect of the two, but needless to say, there are some big commonalities that are covered in a very different light depending on one's partisan outlook.

The idea that there are "big commonalities" between these two is a claim that only makes sense given a fairly specific worldview.

While I can understand the worldview that identifies the commonalities and thus finds inconsistencies in the way the NYT covered them both, I also happen to have a worldview in which the two incidents are not fundamentally related at all other than under an extremely broad category, so broad that it's not particularly meaningful. Armed with that worldview, I don't find anything inconsistent in the coverage.

Anyway, I'm a European by birth. I don't buy into the nominal American dream of objective news coverage, not in any way shape or form. Journalistic integrity to me has almost nothing to do with whether one's journalism is free from bias. You can argue that the only meaningful definition is the one claimed by a journalism outlet about its own work, and I think that's fair. But I don't really see anywhere that the NYT claims to to have no worldview that informs and structures its work.
It's being imported into schools in the UK and parts of mainland Europe. Cory Doctorow reckons that there's a trend, where things like this start in places like schools and then gradually end up in all our institutions.
While I grant you the Phillipines was somewhat of a success, I don't think either the Malay example (where the same combat flared up again within a few years https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_insurgency_in_Malays...) or the Yugoslav wars (where it was a war between ethnicities, and it most decidedly did not result in Yugoslavia being put back together) would count as successes. But, the Phillipines example does seem like a plausible example. Even then, it essentially ended because the US decided to let the Phillipines elect their own assembly, clearly setting them on the path towards independence. Maybe the lesson is that if your military is involved in trying to suppress the rebels, declare victory and leave, without making too many demands of what kind of government is there once you are gone.
The more general take I have seen is that it would give a "priority comment". That can result in problems like that but also more commonly just cause the comments to all act like a response to the "main" comment rather than general discourse on the topic. I can definitely see that though I also see the poster having a large amount of that control already in most cases since they get to pick the source they post.
120% Disagree. All I can see is responding to a recruiter is helping to improve the recruiter's message, so they can span ppl more efficiently next time?

Personally, I rearly had good experience with recruiters, one they had difference goal compare you or the company you want join. Most efficient way to get into a company is by referral, e.g next time when you do some shitty work think twice, as it got long term impact.

The naming is confusing, but the "super cruise" feature of GM vehicles predates the founding of Cruise. I have no knowledge of whether there has been cross-pollination between the two teams since GM acquired Cruise.

Sounds like Casio understand and have no problem with people using their samples.

But consider it from a very basic level - pressing a key and getting a 440Hz A is a sample - you can't practically stop people from recording notes - where does that stop if other more complex samples are stored in a keyboard?
The "where's the demo video" has been consistent feedback on this thread and we'll probably put something together.

Tesla never really invented a way to "wirelessly trasmit power" efficiently like we do with our public grids. That is a thing made up by the Tesla fans who won't hear anything else. It's not a real thing, it's made up magical thinking. I would love to be proven wrong, but I won't be.

> non-essential data sharing

But it is essential. Google (and Apple) maps provide lane specific navigation directions, which are really only possible with assisted GPS. In theory GPS has the accuracy, but remember you are in a big metal box filled with electrical wires. Not to mention other applications like isle specific navigation within stores, which is made possible by bluetooth beacons.

Heck, we are on the verge of a major world conflict where GPS accuracy may be degraded intentionally by the US or jammed by other forces.

Edit: Navigation is used in situations other than racing down the autobahn at 100 mph. Wifi triangulation is used when you are doing 20 mph on a busy street and need to be in the right lane to make a turn, or when you are walking down the street and need to know which unmarked door is the business you are looking for.

Here is some background on why GPS is shit in urban environments: https://vitalalert.com/markets/positioning-smart-cities/3d-p...
That definitely looks like a good idea, that saves at least some on cost. Largest SMS cost is still sending notification messages though, so bringing that down is the hope.

I've used syslog-ng for a number of years now, starting because the configuration file format is much more cogent than the somewhat more common-as-a-default rsyslog. From what I can tell, the engineering is generally quite impressive, in terms of good performance, statistics selection and diagnostics, and limited memory footprints.

There are a couple of areas I wish things were different, but they're nothing to get too worked up about. Probably the biggest one is multi-line messages. Most other problems have to do with limitations in syslog (the format) in general.

How does GPS location not achieve same..?
A second-order 12db/oct low-pass has a 12 db/oct high-cut, and some unknown (hopefully minimized) amount of ripple in the passband. There's an advantage in naming filters after the more "interesting" part of the spectral response (eg. a second-order 12 db/oct highcut) where you're doing the most sculpting of the spectrum, where different filter orders behave differently, and different designs have different levels of stopband leakage. Though on the other hand, there's some benefit in naming filters after what's passed.
Which shows you're missing the fundamental problem. There can be no peace with the Palestinians because it's not the Palestinians that Israel is actually at war with in the first place. Rather, they are pawns of their backers--if you somehow make peace with a pawn another simply steps up. Any peace agreement that actually worked would have to be with those backers--and they have never even been at the negotiating table.

Look at the conflicts of the world. Pawns don't get defeated. Most of the time the other side decides the situation isn't worth it and leaves, but in this case that's not an option because the other side has no possible retreat.

Note that a pawn can lose it's backing which in effects promotes it to being a king--and kings can be defeated.
