This is a strange take on it, defogging is rather critical unless you have a rag handy, you have to see.

Wipers - rather critical.
Engine - very critical.
Seatbelts - rather critical of you value your life
Fuel tank that holds fuel - very critical.

Auto hold is far from critical and I have only encountered it on large trucks back when I was a truck driver.

That's actually a lot more than 15 years old. The vehicles that were being scrapped 15 years ago at 152k miles were themselves 15 year old, so we're really talking about the lifetime of a 30 year old car.
Sometimes I’m glad I don’t live in the US. I heard these things on HN and I think, oh that’s absurd that doesn’t happen! Like advertising in windows 11, never seen it in Singapore and Taiwan. But then people show screen grabs and I’m like wow wtf!
I think they're just enumerating the entire address space

Even when you consider most calls now for SIP/VoIP platforms (which is where a lot of these scammers get their DID/phone numbers from) are charging fractions of a cent for outbound calls, enumerating and then dialing entire NPA spaces gets prohibitively expensive after even five minutes of dialing waiting for someone to pick up, even for the most dedicated of scam call centers.

Doesn't mean they aren't dialing randomly to see who picks up, just I doubt they're dialing entire phone number spaces wholesale.

What can be observed going on is these scammers quite literally trade lists of leaked phone numbers and email addresses and they actively keep track of who responds, and who falls for their scam before sharing the list with others.

Oddly this article does say Natural Immunity is best. But do we really know? I mean, we've had only 2 years of experience with COVID, and there's some evidence that natural immunity isn't all that great: suffering through the Delta variant didn't give immunity to the Omicron variant.

I used to work as a waiter when I was in my first summer out of high school. The calculus was similar there. When it was busy the tables turned as soon as the person got up, so I would often not emphasize dessert. The added $15 on the check from dessert increased my tip a couple dollars, but regular desserts could cause me to lose 1-2 full turns of my section over the course of the evening, so with a four table section of everyone for dessert, I might lose 8 tables total, and if the average tip was $20, I’d lose $160 minus the extra $16 in tip gained from everyone having dessert. Point is, I much preferred quick turns over small per capita increases in per table tips.

In non rush times though where tables didn’t get filled when people left, it made a lot more sense to play up dessert.
thats a good point about the hall sensors. i'll update that.
PIR sensors also output an analog signal, but in practice they are binary.
It'd only be a joke if it ran a VAX emularor in that docker container and then ran VMS on that emulator and then ran the RSX-11 emulator on VMS and then ran Adventure on that RSX-11.

Beware it’s now a PITA to install sshfs via Homebrew because macFUSE, a dep for sshfs has turned closed-source and Homebrew would refuse to install sshfs for that reason.

To solve it, you’d have to install macFUSE binary from their official site first, and load their kernel extension via the GUI, before running the Homebrew command.

Sorry, it seems like you're dug in on this, but you're forcing clients to deserialize enormous object graphs just to figure out if there was a failure or not. This is "surprising" behavior.

"The promise of ambient computing is that technology gets out of the way while becoming more helpful at accomplishing what we want. It anticipates our needs by understanding the context of our environment and situation. It serves us, rather than us serving it. "

This is the optimistic case. Perhaps more likely is that 'ambient' computing will smother us in surveillance, ads, 'nudges', restrictions (you seem tired or drunk, you may not drive), etc.

There's a reason it's called "liquid courage."

Alcohol is a disinhibitor. While there are different reasons that people use it, many find that it enables them to step away from their anxieties, if only temporarily, and feel a sense of connection to the people around them.

I'm not saying it's a reasonable substitute for healthy communication and relationship skills, but for some the development of the same can be a long, slow, and difficult process.

The use of alcohol as a "social lubricant" can help some people get through the hard times. Life is difficult for everyone, and I don't think it's fair to accuse anyone who uses alcohol as a way to lighten up of "not having a personality" unless and until you've walked a mile in their shoes.

While your approach to this in D is super-cool, and I love seeing more projects embracing it (e.g. `zig cc` for cross-compiling C code), I think it solves a different problem to what they're tackling here.

FTA:

> We are developing several tools that help transform the initial Rust sources into idiomatic Rust.

It sounds like this translator they've built may be meant primarily as the first part of a pipeline of tools to help you eventually translate existing C code into idiomatic Rust, rather than just letting you compile C code using the Rust compiler.

The only use case I can imagine personally having for this tool _on its own_ would be in avoiding the hell of trying to target musl with a project that mixes Rust and C.
> As you can see the radar doesn't reveal too much, while still being able to discern a lot of what is going on in each scene.

No, you can't see that, because it's a video of a specific visualisation of the data from one specific sensor.

If it can see through walls and measure biometrics like heart rate, mass and body type, build a 3d point cloud of limb positions and measure vibration, then it's more privacy invasjve than a camera, not less.
And while you are at it, store the BSSID along with the SSIDs seen to make it practically indistinguishable from the real thing.

I've been waiting for someone to finally make a consumer stud finder that works and this just might finally happen after this deregulation of the spectrum.

The construction industry would hand over wheelbarrows full of money for a BLE phone-paired puck that located studs and pipes behind drywall. Someone could even sell a "pro" version that combined the data from multiple pucks to render a 3D point cloud of the inside of the wall on the user's phone.
I disagree. Let's say a bank issues some Principal amount P of money, which is then used to pay various participants in the economy. The bank now has liabilities to pay out. Then the borrower defaults. The lender may have received some percentage of P in interest, but unless that percentage is greater than 100%, the lender lost money when the borrower defaulted. They now have to make up the difference somehow, and may become insolvent.
The visual signal there is utterly meaningless for assessing how much is exposed.

For analogy, take https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RANDU: it was very popular in its day, and its distribution looked good to the naked eye, but plot it in more than two dimensions and you see that it’s actually extremely terrible, failing spectral tests badly.

The information has been captured; the fact that one visualisation of it doesn’t expose that information is irrelevant and gravely misleading (as in: I don’t want someone that hasn’t already realised this working on this kind of stuff, because they’re dangerously ignorant and/or naive; I would rather they stop, and go and learn about the risks in detail before continuing).
It's why a cycle doesn't just DOS the server.

Any stablecoins pegged to the dollar are loosing value at all times due to inflation. During normal times its ~2% annually, but right now it's much worse than that of course. I appreciate the idea of stablecoins and they certainly have a utility value in higher stability, but I can't envision any circumstance one would want to hodl a large amount of stablecoins as an asset.

[Edit]
And now that I've actually read some of the paper it makes sense the Fed would be ok with backing some stablecoins with reserves. It provides the government a way to get a taste of an invisible tax on it via inflation (as all stablecoins are exposed to inflation).

Another angle I had not fully comprehended before is the governments complaint that stablecoins are only fractionally backed. While the reserve system is obviously a fractional reserve system, crypto represents solely the cash component of that system just as the US dollar does. Crypto does not represent a reserve split circuit money system. So, in order for crypto to operate as a fractional reserve it is doing something distinct (and a little more dangerous) from our current reserve system and hence why crypto is getting heat for this behavior.

And of course any currency system operating freely outside of the reserve system is a challenge to the Fed's authority so there will naturally be pressure to get crypto tied in somehow. The Fed's other paper released this month with the open call for CBDC feedback would seem to tie nicely into this one. In that paper they quickly realized that they needed to take over that last 10% of the US population that don't use banking services in order to successfully kill off cash. The other branch of that problem they did not discuss in that paper is tying crypto into the reserve system.

We're doomed the moment Congress blesses the Fed with the legal authority to issue CBDC backed by reserves. It's coming.

Exactly. I'm typing this out over a first-gen Starlink connection, and the value is a lot better than most people realize. My other options include:

- 4g hotspot, 150ms latency, ~15gb/month, speeds of ~10-20mbps, costs $50 + $15/gb overage per month

- WISP network, 400ms latency, unlimited data at 500kbps-6mbps, ~95% uptime, costs $80/month

- HughesNet satellite, 600ms latency, 50gb/month, less than 10mb/s down, 90% uptime, $150/month

Or I could get Starlink with ~50ms of latency, unlimited data, ~100-150mbps down, 99% uptime at the fair price of $100 per month. Once you've lived away from broadband for long enough, you can bet everyone is fed up with the other 3 options.

I was drinking every night, feeling shitty in the morning and slowly crawling back to normal. I quit a year and change ago and I sleep better, feel better, think better. I should have quit twenty years ago. I imagine how much better I’d have done in school if I’d simply taken the time I used to spend drinking and got enough sleep instead.

It depends on the person.

Alcohol and hangovers really make some people feel incredibly terrible.

Other people are affected very little by moderate amounts.

Some people are marginally improved by alcohol.

The first sort of person actually can see a significant improvement in quite a short time, many others will notice basically nothing.

You have to repeat this over and over: drugs don't treat everybody the same.
It's really quite a shame we don't have current equivalents of FrontPage and VisualBasic. Sure, the code they generated wasn't clean at all, but those tools allowed average users to create some fairly sophisticated sites and tools. I remember a friend in college just randomly asked me to look over the site she had made for the nonprofit she volunteered at. She had never expressed even the slightest interest in programming, and frankly was your average windows user in 2007; really only familiar with office. Sure, the actual Html was atrocious, and changing anything directly in the code was nigh-impossible, but the site itself actually looked pretty good. I really only needed to help with getting it setup on hosting, since it was mostly a static site the FrontPage output was completely fine. This nonprofit didn't have the money to hire me, since that type of webdev was fairly lucrative, but since it only took a few hours of my time I just comped the work. I don't know of a modern equivalent aside from something like squarespace, which has a monthly fee that small orgs might find prohibitive.
I don't think you understand the complexity of what you're suggesting. I doubt there are any off-the-shelf chips suitable to build a Starlink terminal and even if there were it would still cost over $10M and maybe more like $100M to design the terminal.

I'm considering to set up a company to design vaccines and immunotherapies which are more efficient. The idea is that current vaccine vectors are great, but choice of antigens and adjuvants is too simplistic. It'd be a complement to Moderna, and all other market incumbents like GSK or Sanofi.

Currently based in Cambridge but, paradoxically, having trouble to find good partners. I have previously worked in Oxford and developed methods which are used and cited by other patents in the field. I also have generated some validation data in vivo. All these things should greatly facilitate raising VC.

To an extent, but depending on the sampling rate and frequency and your ability to control the area being observed, there is still a lot of information available for modeling and biometric identification. In the extreme you can detect things like heartbeat, rate of breathing, etc.

For example, I have a CDM324 24Ghz radar module here on my desk. I set it up to 'watch' me type this comment from across the keyboard. This is an extremely simple module that I have powered by a bench power supply and the IF routed directly to the audio input on my desktop. It was sampled with audacity and amplified a bit to help with visibility. Towards the end of the recording I'm expecting a flat spot followed by regular motion followed by 'noise' as I pause motionless for ~10 seconds or so, then take about 5-6 exaggerated breaths, then resume typing.

This is with zero design, the wrong frequency for the job, and next to zero signal conditioning.

(post: i've included a zoomed in image of the 'motion demonstration' to show still/breathing/typing, then zoomed in on typing to show the detail, then a spectrogram and waveform of me reaching up to scratch my ear.)
