The car already has a ruleset for when to not obey speed limits. If you're on the highway and your lane is going 65mph but the other lanes are moving very slowly, the car will slow down accordingly. Similarly, this could be implemented for the inverse to an extent.

And again, I don't think the car should speed by default, but a car going 2-3mph over the posted limit should be acceptable rather than an error state because the world is not black and white.
You know, I personally value getting downvotes as much as upvotes. I'm not looking for confirmation bias. I'm looking to get thoughts moving, if people are affected by my words that's a good thing whether they agree or disagree. Both negative and positive feedback is good, I'll take even little critiques. If the critiques themselves have no substance, like an internet rando calling me a moron without a rationale, then its mostly useless to me, but I appreciate that its there.

I don't let this "toxicity" get to me, but that means I'm not outsourcing a machine to protect me from it. Not only does facing more toxicity build up my own immune system and make me stronger, I'm not dancing with like minded people circle jerking a helicopter into the clouds of confirmation biases. Doesn't matter what the attack is, its actually good to have some of it around. Learning to deal with it makes people more resilient. We shouldn't be trying to get machines to do it for us, we should be making it the standard rhetoric that people should lean into criticisms consuming it to strengthen themselves.

Because the millennial generation had been making online sports bets illegally in the years before hand, there was a large market, and investors pressured regulators to legalize it for them.
I think technically it's still applicable. It's a "recall" of the software and not the physical car.
There are no truly self driving cars, and probably won't be. When a traffic cop or school teacher holds up a hand to stop cars or say "turn left NOW", what training data exists?

There should be a much stronger involvement from cities / states legislating a ban on any kind of self-driving in these areas. (self-braking -- sure!) It will have to wait for a child to die, unfortunately.

I'd like to see a self-lane-keeping lane on interstates with a 120 mph speed limit and concrete barriers. If we can have "Zero emissions" cars incentivized with access to HOV lanes, why not cars that can do a good job at lane-keeping and merge-scheduling in areas where there are exactly zero other distractions?

So Microsoft is trying to blame users for their computers being out of date, when it's their automatic system failing...
Keeping computers on overnight should not be required for proper updates, most computers are practically idle most of the time anyway, do it then. Furthermore, this data is specifically about laptops, so it's possible some of the problem is due to laptop-specific battery optimisation, and so doesn't affect desktop users.
I hope they try to investigate the issue further, currently there's very little to go on.
Zen and the Art of Talking to Conspiracy Theorists
> Why is discussion or criticism of a current practice (giving young kids a third mRNA dose) considered a "talking point of the right"?

The right wing in America generally supports Trump, who initially called covid a minor cold in February 2020. Ever since then there’s been a strong faction of the right that argues that taking measures to prevent covid is wrong, whether that be masks, vaccines, or anything else. Implicitly this is because if fighting covid is good, downplaying covid in February 2020 was wrong. (This persists even now that Trump has claimed the vaccine as his achievement).

> How much peer-reviewed research about booster shot efficacy has come to light? We were told that a third shot is ineffective against the Omicron variant, and also told that the Omicron variant's symptoms are very cold-like and that it's not really killing people

FWIW, research is and has been showing the opposite - that booster shots generate antibodies which can neutralize the Omicron variant, and that Omicron is killing people despite initial claims - mostly from the right wing, anti-covid mitigation crowd - last year that it was “mild”.
Apparently they came out and said that "Full Self Driving™" isn't supposed to be understood as full self driving.
Well, for PR purposes, they might have to be substantially better than humans, or the backlash to incidents might be too great.

My point is that Weiss and all these journalists who have suddenly adopted the "free speech" cause are doing nothing but loudly complaining. They're throwing pieces of meat to their base. I honestly doubt that many liberals pay attention to her, after she was dragged through the mud when leaving the NYT. I feel like Weiss and the rest don't actually care about boosters, or free speech, or any of the things they so often complain about. They just say these things, and right wing media proclaims "oh look at these former left wing journalists agreeing with us, we're awesome", and then they use their newfound attention to sell books.

At the end of the day these people would rather complain than actually do something. In fact, if the issues they complain about were solved, they probably wouldn't make nearly as much money.

If Weiss is indeed widely read by center left folks, then that makes me very happy. It would indicate that maybe, just maybe, we do indeed have a chance of defeating the plague of "progressive" lunacy infecting the West. But there aren't really many signs of that yet.

If it seems like I'm trolling I apologize, I'm just getting very disillusioned and cynical about the future of freedom in this country.
You can cut down the startup time to milliseconds

1) either mount tar directly

2) or use squashfs and mount that...both would be mounted with some sort of rw overlay

3) underneath do some lazy httpfs type filesystem, so filesystem can be mounted while it's downloading

4) parallelize the underlying download ala aria2c

5) provide metadata to aria2c-alike downloader with file boundaries, so extract further latency/bandwidth savings
As someone who's dealt with these protocols as well I agree.

I find the print quality of PDFs perfect on Zebra's as long as you keep the following in mind:

- Make sure the DPI of the document is correct (e.g. 203dpi)
- Make sure the document does not need to be scaled (and scaling to fit is disabled) (for 4x6 that means 812 x 1218 pixels max)
- Make sure the document is black and white (no grayscale)

ZPL is a beast.

Some PDFs embed a single image in them, in which case you can do the following;

pdfimages -all <input_file>.pdf <out_prefix>
convert <generated_png>.png -filter point -density 203 -units PixelsPerInch out.png

And then print the generated png.
Rechargeable Battery Is One Long Filament–and You Can Cut It as Needed
That's a huge and thorny issue. I had an experience eight years ago that was pretty interesting in hindsight. A contract worker our team worked in was brought onto our team full time. After I worked with them in a full time capacity for some months, we were at happy hour one day and drank a few when they asked the question of what do I make. I decided to be honest and tell them, and they said, "So I -AM- getting screwed!!" It turned out their salary was a lot lower than mine.

Fast forward a few years when I found out about https://levels.fyi and I found out that, in reality, we were BOTH "getting screwed" and quite a bit too! :D
Good luck passing that law when we can't even gather political will to put in average speed cameras in most cities, which would also solve speeding without needing self driving.
Simpler, more flexible data model along with speed / storage efficiency (you’re not updating many indexes so writes are much simpler). Your transaction layer data model should be as flat as possible; enrich with relational data in your analytics systems and data warehouses to optimize query speed.
Show HN: A collaborative pixel drawing game for when you're bored
Hello HN. This is a project me and some friends built at university in 2017. It was originally built in a rush, but we've added a few improvements over the years. It's a fun game to host at a demoparty and project on a big screen - We did that at Instanssi many times. The implementation is still rough, and suffers from the fast pace of the modern web - The frontend is likely very outdated, and the backend is built with Vapor 2 and Swift 3.1, both no longer supported. You can host this yourself, but it might be a bit of a pain to set up. The WebSocket protocol is fairly trivial to work out and write a bot for to ruin the whole canvas, but I trust that the HN crowd can come up with clever things to draw with a script, should they choose to do so. The server is recording draw events into a log, and I will be posting a timelapse here in the comments after some time. Have fun!

Ask HN: How to become a millionaire in 3 years? (2022)
More than 10 years ago, @babyboy808 asked this question:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1447428

Wonder what would you suggest now to do in 2022 to become a millionaire in the next three years.
Yes. Unless you would be happy to switch companies for the same pay you might as well switch for more pay.

Also everyone is essential until they aren’t. Nobody is going to tell you that you v are redundant until they are ready to cut you
So presumably the Tesla is aware of all local laws and, more importantly, how strictly they are enforced from town to town, in every market the Tesla is sold or imported, in order to use this functionality safely and without resulting in ticketed traffic violations?
Firefox is basically as good as Chrome but it also has a default stance of protecting the users instead of giving all of your data directly to Google. Certainly it isn't perfect, but you feel like a bit less of a product when you use it. To make the HN crowd happy they have (re)written a bunch of the codebase in Rust.
Yes, but it was the only story I remembered on the spot that had a very personal devil that challenged only the main character :-)

I too am hoping this has a happier ending. All wisdom here points towards making a new profile, which is something I'm avoiding, but if there is no other choice I might try it later.

First of all, yes your definition of a vaccine is fine, but it doesn't negate what I said. Vaccines serve as a way to "train" your immune system to fight a specific thing by historically providing a weakened or impotent version that is easy to kill. However, mRNA vaccines are a much different methodology and can be very very specific on targeting, by creating individual spike proteins. However, they fail to provide significant protection against mutation in some cases.

The vaccines helped in the way that they prevented the virus from being able to replicate and cause serious illness, your immune system had to still figure out how to kill the thing on its own. So the vaccines on their own did not provide you with immunity, (not even close the level of historic, or "perfect" vaccines do), they did help train your immune system to kill the virus. That is how they are helpful for the symptoms of omicron not the spread. Because the spike proteins that were effective for alpa/delta are less effective for Omicron, it is still causing disease. Again, because your system has most likely already fought off the Alpha and Delta strains, you are unlikely to develop serious illness if you have natural immunity or have been vaccinated.

There is no "lying" here. And your sources of wiki-pedia vaccine definition and a CBS news article are not disproving anything that I have stated.
That is the case I think, the two ideas about types of professional networks seems clear, and it would seem I probably see it differently to some. To me, "professional network" is better at describing a network curated for your career.

It's a tough one, because while I can see that it is also a professional network, said network would be pretty offended if I called them that. So I don't necessarily disagree with you, or even with the other commenters, but there is at least some room for subjectivity about what to call your own personal relationships.
this is an unnecessarily negative comment but astrophysicists get too much credit because of their cool sounding title. I have worked/collabed with plenty and their math/programming/modeling skills are not better than the average compsci,physics phd.
Is that true? What if the situation is that I am currently stronger then you but can expect to become weaker in the future? Why not force a war now if I can expect to win?

I still haven't finished it (too depressing) but my reading of the book The Sleepwalkers about the events leading up to WWI is that all the parties thought they were in that place; even if they all had a full picture it's certainly possible those beliefs would in fact be true.

That's a fallacious line of reasoning on several fronts.

A) The beneficiaries of a war need not be the ones who pay the cost. If you personally stand to benefit from the war itself, regardless of win or lose, you want the war.

B) It's applying a rational economics approach when it's pretty clear that humans aren't rational. Japan kept fighting even when it was clear they would lose. Pride, image, your future after the war. All things that impact the decision that gets made.

C) War isn't typically total like it was in WWII. Most wars are just skirmishes or prolonged skirmishes that don't meaningfully change borders. In such a scenario, a single "war" loss may still be an important fight to have in the middle of the overall conflict (i.e. to signal to your opponent that you're not a pushover and that continuing on their current path has consequences).

D) Win/lose isn't the only outcome of war. Lose/lose is also another scenario. Additionally, you might lose the war but winning may not be the goal. For example, maybe it only takes me 1/10th the resources for me to wage the war that it takes for you to win. A single war might cost me 100 units, but it's important for me to be able to cause you to spend 1000 units because then I have a 900 unit advantage in some other area.

There's many more, but I don't think imperfect information is the only reason war exists.
If Google restructured into a franchise model, where each franchisee independently operates Google XY per country XY, then that would legally allow each Google XY to comply with GDPR while paying Google US a franchise fee. Technically, however, this is a nightmare to implement, since each Google XY would have a due diligence responsibility to audit all source code changes, and Google US would be required to issue a complete working set of product code to each independent franchisee, as otherwise they're just subsidiaries from a code standpoint, which when interpreted by a court would likely be found equivalent to being a full subsidiary rather than just a franchisee (as Google US would then retain the ability to collect GDPR-protected data in violation of GDPR).
Yes! I would rather spend resources to standardize “smart” traffic control infrastructure, where vehicles and road/street constantly communicate with each other even if it would just be for augmenting drivers’ awareness. For example in-car warnings about abrupt stop ahead, train approaching level crossing, positions of nearby vehicles, traffic light cycles, actual speed limits etc… Training “AI” to make sense of (sometimes barely) human readable signs and clues is waste of time in my opinion. Maybe just for helping with low speed obstacle avoidance…
The answer is for the car to always drive according to the slowest speed allowed.

So, it's always 25mph in that zone. Changing it based on "school hours" is a bad idea anyways.

> we had that and it made them genuinely useless

That's better than one that is useful, but useful for only one affiliation.
You just hit exactly on the right topic: I think we don’t need a replacement. Your example is perfect, just name the actual issue and deal with it. That’s frankly all I really propose in the end.

Also, I think that some decisions are to be made within the development team. It is not for the business to tell them how to develop and keep the code base healthy. Some thing you just do and they are just cost of doing business.

Business wants features and never wants to say, ok do maintenance tasks for a month. I’ve seen it play out, a lack of critical maintenance imposed by product caused days of expensive outages across multiple customers.

Thanks for being my sounding board :)

I am betting in 2 to 3 years we will have yet another reboot from WinUI and WinAppSDK.

The first is a real example from a friend whose drains were blocked during some construction work, where rainfall from his garden was running into his basement during a storm. Would the water reach the electric cables?

The second is obviously relevant for the people responsible for rivers, storm drains, sewers, dams, hydropower and so on. When we start terraforming Venus, we'll need to add the conversion factor for sulphuric acid rain.
That was also bought and I’d argue Amazon is the winner and that includes Zappos.
There's been a huge culture shift since 05-06. I started working in libraries in 2004, and what you're describing is more or less accurate until the mid-10s. That's when things started to shift. There's still a cohort that adheres to those ideals, but it's difficult to openly wade into contentious areas with that position unless one has the status to not be fired over it. A lot of it is that librarians, especially academic ones, are, as a group, very insecure because they often lack the credentials of other faculty, so they like to glom onto whatever the 'in' views in academia are in order to validate their presence in the academy.

Small, less prestigious libraries can go either way. On one hand, you're more likely to run into heterodox viewpoints, but on the other, a lot of progressives use those small libraries as career stepping stones and they're terrible about it. I still remember when the director of the community college library I worked in told me she was surprised I was a first-generation college graduate because I didn't seem like 'one of those people'. (Aka our students - this was in Flint, MI).

Humans aren't given leniency, there's just an issue enforcing laws on the books. The answer isn't to give self driving cars the same pass to endanger others especially when its lines of code we could implement trivially.
For reference, there is specifically a flag/toggle called "California stop" (rolling stop) in the feature flag control panel for FSD / autopilot features. Screenshot[0] and full scroll-through on Greentheonly's twitter[1]. This panel is only available to Tesla employees, as no FSD beta tester had seen it before it was posted to Twitter.

That was back in December 2020 So I the 'chill/average/assertive' setting changes how it works, but it is true that Tesla intentionally allowed the cars to roll through a stop sign[2].
