> Or that seatbelts lock if you pull them all the way out.

My brother-in-law is large enough that when he pulls his seatbelt out far enough to actually go around him, it locks, and he absolutely hates it.

Is there a reason this "feature" even exists?
I thought the same thing, but then I thought more, and wouldn't the abuse still happen? If she was pseudo-anonymous, but still clearly a women, wouldn't these people still hate on her? They would just use her username rather then her real name. They'd still try and dox her as well. It doesn't seem like it would really solve the issue.
But I was under the impression from other comments farmers could fix anything themself, so why can't they fix Kubota machines?
Plastics can be toxic by leaching additives without the polymer itself breaking down. Moreover, much of the damage caused by microplastics (i.e. only mechanically broken down) is poorly understood. At the very least, they seem to harbour novel collections of microbes that aren't necessarily benign.

Yep, other guy is correct, and wires were my first concern, but they are long and you just shim them in between the panels around and down the windows. Same with the back, but there you might have to get more creative running the wire and mounting the camera depending on vehicle.

Awesome. I see now that lack of "back" button support is everywhere. This means that I need to use both top left and top right side, even to navigate through forum posts, which are often short. So all the time.
> A ridiculous lie.

Who signs the check?
Exactly. Regulators are getting more involved in this space because they should be, anyway, and because Tesla has repeatedly demonstrated that if they don't, Tesla will take more and more risks.

Regulators have nothing to do with FSD's failure to recognize: roundabouts, stationary vehicles, trains at level crossings, or its "selective observation" of road law.
NK was specifically targeting prominent security researchers, with fake accounts and blogs, then trying to get the researchers to open a backdoored Visual Studio project. They were absolutely personally targeting people, and I don't doubt he was one of them.
I’m guessing these experiences come from being someone who runs a blog and is somewhat of a public figure.
Don't worry, there are a lot of much simpler jobs, like drivers or cashiers that will surrender to AI before coder's job does. So UBI will be implemented long before that happens.
More like because maths are an actual science.

That's true, but it only takes one shut-in to threaten to kill you on the internet to characterize every person who disagreed with you as an abuser. It's a common media tactic, apart from the fact that it's definitely horrible to be a woman or a minority on the internet. That's why we need pseudoanonymity.
Grafana Cloud is the best ROI money my startup spends every month.
First question: yes. It was hard to talk about the current state of Ferrocene with all the things ongoing last year. Now that I have more bandwidth and we found a development beat, you can also expect more regular updates.

Second question: that was the discussion about higher assurances in the compiler in general. The group did not form, but that's on the project side, where I'm not part of anymore. We're very ready to participate there though.

Show HN: I built a service to help companies reduce AWS spend by 50%
Hey HN: Kaveh here, the founder of https://www.usage.ai/

We help companies drive down AWS EC2 spend. Why? Because the way it's done now is a pain. DevOps and Software Engineers end up spending time managing costs rather than focusing on business problems.

Previous to founding Usage, I worked on high-performance computing research at JP Morgan Chase and as a software engineer at a number of smaller startups.

Here's how it works: We are typically brought in by a DevOps manager to cut AWS EC2 costs. The app is entirely self-service and the savings are generated automatically, typically we do this live on a call. On average, we reduce AWS EC2 spend by 50% for 5 minutes of work.

To reduce by 50%+, we don't touch the instances, require any code change, or change the performance of your instances. We buy Reserved Instances on your behalf (a billing layer change only) and bundle them with guaranteed buyback. So you get the steep 57% savings of 3-year no-upfront RIs with none of the commitment (you can sell them back to us anytime after 30 days).

We make money off of a 20% Savings Fee. Happy to chat directly kaveh@usage.ai

Have you experienced any issues with managing your company or organization's AWS expenses? We'd love to hear your feedback and ideas!

Is there an equivalent or improved variant of the rsyslog-style character substitution method? While I accept my syslog locally via unix datagram (thus, a supplement that fixes protocol framing issues), I must stream it elsewhere via TLS.
If you ask CoPilot to solve something it hasn't seen, it won't be able to solve it.

It's a transformer. Do you understand what that means? It's just matrix multiplication.

It generates maximum likelihood token strings, based on its training data.

It doesn't "understand" what those token string mean.

You are amazed because you're testing the transformer by asking the transformer to generate human-written code THAT IT WAS TRAINED ON. To make CoPilot fail, all you have to do is ask it to generate something unlikely, something it hasn't seen in training.

Maximum likelihood token strings. Period.
Somehow I doubt you'd ever get death threats from tweeting about being annoyed that someone interrupted your work out to tell you you're pretty

Their pricing is what turns me off most. Just to run an instance with 1gb of memory is like $50/month. Anything over than that next pricing was like $250/month, no thanks, I’ll manage my own instances.

The Internet Hate Machine is both targeted and somewhat randomized. Statistics don't help when you are the target.

When the video from the Proud Boys’ founder made its way into my Google alerts, I didn’t know who he was at first. I was so distracted by the strangeness of someone making a takedown video about me that I didn’t think to look into who was actually behind it.

...

I took a closer look at the video. It had 24,000 views already. Some of the commenters were talking about the city I lived in. I was alone in my house, sitting in front of my computer, thinking, Oh no. Maybe this isn’t a funny story. Maybe this is a scary story.
Galileo was a quack in his time. Most great scientists were quacks who were opposed by orthodoxy. There is nothing wrong with having Robert Malone on to counter government approved science in a podcast. He's not giving him equal time. He's giving them a modicum of time in the face of overwhelming government approved virological perspective.
I assume he's not a parent? That feature is used every time you install a child's carseat.

You're misunderstanding my point. Nobody's screaming at anything. Whether this thing is impressive isn't at issue. It's utterly astonishing.

I'm trying to figure out whether copilot in its current form is a tool that will be useful to me in my job. (I'd be able to do this evaluation properly if they'd just let me on the damned beta.)

Nearly right isn't good enough for this afaics. In fact, I expect there to be a slightly paradoxical effect where nearly-right is worse than obviously-wrong. An analysis of a piece of code like I did above is time consuming and cognitively taxing. An obviously wrong solution I can just reject immediately. An almost-right (or at least vaguely plausible) one like these takes thought to reject. Much more thought, in this case (for me, at least) than just writing the thing myself in the first place.

Edit: BTW, I don't get what you're saying with

"The first example is almost correct, conditioned off a sentence description. The second example is the right idea, it just bit off more than it could chew when slicing it all together."

The first one is completely (if subtly) wrong. It's supposed to swap two bits but it sets them to the same value. There's no interpretation of the description in which that's correct.

The second one is definitely not "the right idea". It tries to do it with string manipulations, which (regardless of the fact that it does so incorrectly) is completely the wrong approach. This one is actually "better" than the other in the paradoxical sense I mentioned above, because I could reject it the moment I saw it convert the number to a string.
Privacy would be fine, as long as the identity is traceable by admins and authorities. We’ve experimented with true anonymity and it’s garbage for humanity, so now we need to come up with a better way to protect people from being identified except to admins and law enforcement, and pass laws to protect our right to keep our real life identity from being divulged maliciously.
Pretty much every news site with a Facebook-based comment section gives you pretty good idea what kind of things people are willing write under real identities.
I said as much in another comment.

Automating the software development profession proper is going to be much harder and will require autonomous agents with coherent world models, because that’s what you need to act in a business context.
What about just looking at the most vulnerable populations? My elderly grandma was certainly safer with her self-imposed lockdown, since by avoiding most people she avoided being infected. If that population benefitted from the lockdown, how is it possible that society as a whole did not benefit?
Sure. And, also, being a woman. Do you genuinely think that a man with this level of medium-notoriety would so consistently get abuse like this?
What he really should do, is petition the us Congress for a letter of marque in a closed door session and Congress should grant it to him.
If I remember correctly, they also cover the easy part of the road and make the human take over at tricky situations.

So at the end of the day, you have spotless records for the autopilot that was driving many many miles on the straight line and humans having accidents at short intersections or construction sites. This translates into very favorable numbers for autopilot when presented as accidents per miles driven.
Did we watch a different presentation? ChatOps isn't new. What you're describing is what I would consider an antiquated practice. Nobody wants to go sniffing around a PM tool at 3AM in the morning.
How is it that Tesla (and other companies developing self-driving capabilities) are allowed to deploy their products in the real world? We make people take a test to get a drivers license -- why don't we have requirements for self-driving systems? We require that cars pass routine mechanical inspections -- why isn't the software controlling these cars regulated?
This is just incredibly rude. Please don't do it again.
What if you have multiple cameras and multiple lidar sensors? You get into statistical modeling immediately and I imagine that’s how the production systems like these work. If 3 cameras and 2 lidars detect a person, the model says X, which translates to such and such FPR and FNR.

Driving for ~25 years. Did quite some kilometers when I was between 19 and 30.

My current car is the first one with a lot of assistance systems. I actually see them as additional safety level, but as a first instance still use my senses. Blind spot monitoring is something that I learned to value as a slice in the Swiss Cheese Model of Security [1].

And I detect myself driving extra carefully when driving a car without them. Way more careful than I was driving before I ever had blind spot monitoring.

I mean, they specifically targeted him first. It's not that he just didn't like Kim and thought he'd take him down a peg.
I fully support the noble notions and idealistic ideas.

But let's make it real, and let's ask a question about the real world:

Does that mean that expectation is all automated cars will go exactly the speed limit on the left lane of North American superhighways?

If so, those cars will inherently be a danger to life and limb. I don't care about any self-righteous driver who indicates houghtily "I drive speed limit on left lane of American super highway", I've spoken to advanced driver safety instructors, highway police officers and city councilors who all agree those people need to bloody well move it along - it's just not safe.
So how much better than the median randomly assigned uber driver does it need to be?
>Basically accidents involve two people.

Not always, no. It's perfectly possible to crash a car with nobody else around.
With your reasoning, wouldn't it be work as well to dictate a certain Linux distro?

You do realize that all this range and depth that purists talk about is just like what audiophiles do when they talk about the "warmth" of a vinyl recording?

So film has a huge resolution advantage especially when you use 70MM. Theoretically capable of 16K. Yet by the time you've developed the negs, created interpositives, edited, created masters, created internets, and finally created prints for the theaters, that resolution, that dynamic range, those "highlights" (could you be more vague) get lower and lower. Then you send it to a theater with a crappy projector that's out of calibration, or has a bulb out of spec. Then you get crap. Same with when you have this pristine film scanned for DVD/BluRay/4k whatever.

> How about this rewrite: Some users love settings.

Yup.

I'm definitely one of those users. Sure, most of the time, the defaults are great. But there are probably so many things some software can do that people don't know because they never even bothered to poke through the settings.

If a piece of software has a slightly annoying behavior of some sort, the first thing I do is go to the Settings to see if it's optional. When I get a new phone, the first thing I do is check out what settings it offers. I'll even enable Developer mode (Mainly for the feature to show a circle on where I touch the screen).

I don’t think rewarding is the right word. It’s still very rewarding but modern software decides from time to time to undo all your work. Maybe we could say that modern software disrespects their users.
Attaching baby car seats, you're supposed to reel it out all the way which triggers the lock (or rather one-way reel) and then reel it in with the guarantee that it won't reel out.
That's not necessarily a counterpoint: it doesn't matter how much great CGI doesn't destroy the reality of a film, so long as there is any bad CGI which does. It's like how nobody talks about all the oysters that didn't make them sick.

I don't really think that bad CGI ruins films in most cases, but I think the author of this article does.
Phew, glad I am not just average haha.

I've seen many tools that claim to save dev time or make it so you don't need any devs and they do indeed take a lot of the chore out of it, but the remaining 20% is what takes 80% of the time.
So let me ask you would you be OK with be ok with someone close to you being subjected to a constant bullying/harassment campaign as long as they don't "really hurt" them?

Second question: even if the statistics are that only 1 in whatever people actually is dangerous. If you get 100s of hate messages a day, how do you know that one of them isn't a physical threat. Because that is the intent create fear, torture can be pretty effective just through threats of violence.
That kind of makes sense. I think the idea is that similar to how your admin doesn't have the ability to control your color scheme or accessibility settings, it's more of a personal usage feature rather than organizational one.
Why would injury crashes go unreported?
Why would they hate on her? She would be just a rando posting about her day at the gym, as opposed to a semi-public figure that people might want to pick a fight with for unrelated reasons. She wouldn't have to stand behind everything she posts with a public real-world identity, only the stuff that's actually relevant to, e.g. her broader work.
This was a plot point in "Version Zero" - a hacker connected the real identities of that universe's 4chan and crossposted them to that universe's facebook.
love the idea! i'd be willing to contribute but i'm sort of useless when it comes to go... i do have a suggestion though! lots of open source projects also use open collective [1] to crowd source funds, so if you want to add another payment method for users like me that don't have patreon that might be something to look into.

Equity in salaries is all good and well, but it's not going to convince anyone to take a pay cut to join your company. For example, I flat out refuse to hear about any offer that's <$400K a year. I'm not going to join test double for $200K just because that's what they pay everyone.
If it were the case that autopilot was benefiting from dumping all of the difficult parts on the humans, you would expect to see much higher than average rates of accidents per mile on the human driven parts, because they're only getting the hard parts. This tends not to be true, so I'm doubting it's a real effect.
Fury Road used a ton of CGI. So much that without it, the movie wouldn't have been very good.
If they are against hate groups and ran a piece on them... then yes, I do believe a man would get similar levels of hate.
What about finding bugs, zero-day exploits?
Another point to consider is the IPv6 global routing table for internet routers. Suppose you decided to give end users /120s instead and those /120s were all routable on the internet. That means there are 120 bits of addressing just to find the network. There are 2^120 such networks in theory. If you could actually enumerate this, you'd be well on your way to bruteforcing AES128. In other words, this is just infeasible.

By handing out /48s the routing table stays manageable. This is the smallest address block you can announce via BGP for this reason.

Given the utter vastness of IPv6 we are also able to do things like carve out an entire /7, fc00::/7, for unique local addresses, and still tell people they shouldn't actually need these addresses at all.

As to the actual process of getting a PI block, I think it is likely to involve some questions. A similar objection exists to handing out smaller than /48s: more people having their own block implies more routing entries. Much better if an existing provider carves you a /48 out of their allocation and routes you traffic. This is probably balanced against the fact that by requiring you to deal with an existing LIR and set up BGP (and your LIR won't want you to muck that up) the number of people who will actually do this just for fun is limited.
Unless you plan on deploying the U.S. military on every street and beach during the next lockdown, what we saw was what happens when a lockdown is declared. They're measuring the efficacy of an intervention: lockdowns being declared; high/low compliance is irrelevant to the intervention's effectiveness, since compliance isn't within the government's control.
