There's an out-of-date story about how I got started on Indie Hackers: https://www.indiehackers.com/product/minecraft-playdates, this tells a bit of the story, but not much about the tech.

Tech stack: Frontend is a mix of hand-crafted HTML and pages or fragments of components designed in Webflow. (This is my first meaningful webapp, so don't judge!) Using Firebase Auth for authentication, Stripe for billing, Firestore for the database. The frontend talks to a custom API server written in Golang. It's purpose is to essentially orchestrate customized VMs. Each VM runs a Minecraft server mgmt sidecar process (also written in Golang), which orchestrates the MC server itself. Each VM is entirely self contained, the API server pushes config into into VM metadata. The the sidecar listens for changes and applies them. There is some interesting logic there to determine what game settings can be applied without restarting the server and which can't be.

Overall architecture is pretty straightforward, but it's grown organically and it's a mix of crufty bits, along with nicer bits which came later. It currently supports four server types (Java, Bedrock, Spigot, Forge), and I'm in process of adding Paper. Each time I add a server I learn more and figure out a bit better design. Adding Paper is mostly replacing the original Java and Bedrock cruft with better stuff I created while adding Spigot and Forge. Beyond the Sidecar, Most of the magic is in the frontend making it easy for parents to manage invited players, gameplay (including plugins/mods/minigames), and playtimes.

Happy to dive in more detail 1:1 or small group, my contact info is in my profile.
Wake me up if somebody steals this kinda real money from a real bank.
Of course, but that doesn't change the fact that the software would help everyone, even if Tesla profited.
While we're at it, I'm surprised there's no mention that the new year started in March for English speakers into the late 18th century:

The alcohol ban on sales was temporary and lasted around 3 months. There was minimal enforcement required - shops simply didn't sell it. The time scale was too short to develop home brewing to any significant degree.

Yes, the effect of a permanent prohibition is well known (illegal alcohol production, which given how easy alcohol is to produce at home is unenforceable) but this was not that.
> The feature sells cars

Right. Similarly, the fast Prime delivery guarantees from Amazon are backed by warehouse workers working their asses off, and I'm sure we've all heard about the bad rep Amazon gets for worker treatment and the subsequent attrition challenges they've been facing.

It feels like Tesla is setting itself up to be stuck between a rock and a hard place, being reliant on their FSD marketing to make money but simultaneously tainting their brand beyond salvation by this very same reliance.
In the middle of a winter storm that has shut down nearly all transportation and frozen the well-heads for natural gas production? riiight.

Unless the Navy happens to have a few nuclear vessels parked in the gulf ready to hook up, it is literally impossible to move hundreds of MW of generation in a week, much less the 20 GW that Texas needed at the time.
What am I missing? 6 x 6 X 6 = 216 or about 7 months.
or is it not a biofuel? are they using the Sabatier reaction so they just need energy input (could be solar)?
These are fantastic! I'll add two that I have learned from wiser people, and that have paid out again and again in my life.

1. It's better to target an interesting constellation than one specific star. If you're pushing yourself reasonably hard, you're working close to the limits of your ability, and so there's some chance you will fail. If you go all out to hit an ambitious goal and don't succeed, you're likely to feel burnout [1]. This is much less likely if you make moves in the direction of an interesting area using a cluster of subgoals instead. This diversifies your risk, plus it's easier to adjust as you move in that direction and learn more. (For people in ML there's some clear parallels with the gradient descent process)

2. A twenty minute walk in the park with no music or media makes all kinds of useful stuff naturally fall out of your brain, and you get some light exercise and sunlight / vitamin D at the same time - which also helps improve your mood and flush out anxiety etc.

Oh, so I can buy an M1 for a custom board?

Are there several different manufacturers of motherboards for it?

There isn't even an ecosystem to talk about. The fascination about the M1 is quite disturbing. Unless you want to be locked into the apple store it has no value whatsoever. The energy put into running Linux on it is really impressive. But from a broad perspective nothing positive can ever come out of it.
"Made possible" also meant that coal burning plants were obsolete and we needed to restructure the generating system so they could go out of business without making the utilities go under.

So much in the energy literature looks like a clock that stopped. For instance you still see cost estimates of advanced combustion systems from the 1970s that have been carried into the future without adjusting for inflation and changes in technology.

People still compare nuclear power to coal but they quit building coal plants circa 1980 for the same reason they quit building nuclear plants -- the capital cost of the steam turbine is an order of magnitude more than a gas turbine, so even if you get the heat for free a current generation coal or nuclear plant is going to struggle to compete against the power plants we've been building since the 1980s.
Your comment qualifies as a thought terminating cliche! At least I come to this forum wanting to think about the kind of questions OP has asked.
A backup camera is required safety equipment (at time of sale) on new cars.
It’s definitely possible. An exhaustive search would require tapping into the cloud since there are well over 100,000 words that the interface could use, times 17,000 target words, times the grading operation which is moderately expensive. My guess, though, is that the best starter word is number-dense since numbers show up in the middle of the frequency range, and therefore probably wouldn’t change. However, subsequent guesses would very likely benefit from the broader dictionary.
100% agree... the people making cloud purchasing decisions are also usually the people who are early adopters/enthusiasts for all of these google products.
Of course. I have no interest in roles like that though, so for my purposes, it’s still generally a good measure.
> SpaceX has two constellation applications pending FCC approval — one for a 4,425 satellite constellation operating in Ka- and Ku-band from around 1,200 kilometers, and another for 7,518 V-band satellites flying between 335 and 345 kilometers.

I am not aware of any Starlink satellites currently in either of those two orbits.
NJ to Mcclellanville, SC is my guess. Aside tho actual cost of living is gonna be way cheaper for them.

There was a great period in the mid-late ‘90s where TVs just worked when you connected to cable or antenna, no set top box, tuning was near instantaneous and there was enough enrichment that even station ID and program info could come in with the broadcast.

Pity it was a complicated modulation and waste of spectrum.
Exactly. For a commodity, free market means free to compete. But for a utility, it means free to extract.
Mazda’s response at the time was pretty disheartening too. Pay us for a firmware update and it’ll probably fix it. The owner said ‘no thanks’ because it was too expensive (and honestly ridiculous in principle in my opinion). Now Roman Mars, the owner of 99% Invisible, releases a separate version of every episode with “Mazda safe titles”
Same as another poster. It's so obviously a scam I have nothing to do with it. I'm increasingly amazed how screwed up the world is getting, like how more and more people and businesses jump onto something, obviously out of greed or fomo, that is so objectively a huge scam.

There was a post not long ago about our obligation as people who know better to speak out about this stuff. Thankfully I've explained to my parents what a scam it is and they have not been taken in, and my siblings agree with me so I don't have to waste time fighting it. But there are so many people being exploited - some maybe deserving.

Tldr, it's an amoral industry that is literally running a criminal scam, you have to decide if you're cool making money off that.

Like it's morally worse than dealing drugs or lots of other "crimes"
Individual consumers aren't the only customers of Starlink. It also will bring high-bandwidth low-latency connectivity to the entire globe once enough laser-linked satellites are up. Industry and militaries will be using it. Whether this is a net positive for the environment or otherwise remains to be seen.

Also, the point of Starlink is to fund SpaceX's goal of a methane rocket. Methane was chosen because it can be generated from atmospheric gases and solar power. The logistics around scaling it up remain to be solved, but once it is solved, rocket launches will be basically zero carbon.
They should have argued that it hadn't yet hit the ground when it hit their house.
This is fun but the different colors (or rather, lack of color) are way too subtle for me. It takes me conscious effort to distinguish "correct-character-wrong-position" from "correct-character-correct-position".

I think you vastly overestimate the effect this has on the brand. At this point everyone who buys a Tesla has heard stories similar to this, in addition to stories about quality and body panel fitment etc., and they buy them anyway.

Amazon doesn't seem to be hurting either, despite the bad press they get about their warehouses.
I've got a brand new Kia. The FM radio comes on so fast, it's surprising. Every car I've ever had always has had some sort of warm up time or a splash screen on the infotainment system while it's booting up. This Kia has none of that. Audio is immediately present and tuning to other stations is immediate as well. It's almost a little unnerving how quickly audio comes out since we've always been used to slower FM radios, CD players, satellite radio, and music streaming apps that just take short moment to go to the next station or song.

Also, one thing to remember is that FM radios have been "digital" for quite some time. I'm not talking about HD radio or DAB receivers. FM demodulation chips have existed for a long time (TDA7000 came out in 1983). They handle tuning, demodulation, and amplification all-in-one. The only slow part would be whatever microcontroller has to manage the interface in the receiver. You can even get FM transceiver chips dirt cheap like the one that is in the infamous Baofeng ham radio. It's got one chip doing all of the radio work.
I can't count the number of times I had to stop in the middle of an interesting NPR story because I'd arrived at my destination and didn't exactly have time to sit around in my car until it ended. I never looked back from podcasts once I got into them.
> There’s no good reason to believe that someone extremely attractive would be a great conversationalist, or that someone extremely intelligent would be emotionally intelligent, etcetera.

I actually disagree. At the extremes, sure. The top athlete is unlikely to be the top scholar or conversationalist. But I believe health, beauty, EQ and IQ are all correlated. These traits all likely have some shared genetic components. And a great, healthy childhood will augment all these traits to some extent.

Also, beautiful people are less likely to experience social isolation or estrangement, which would otherwise hurt EQ and health in general.

From another angle, experiences that leave emotional scars will often have physical manifestations, and vice versa.

That said, we may subconsciously assume a higher correlation than exists between these traits, so directionally the author may be correct.

None of this is fair or desirable, by the way.

Many postings have limitations on location/timezone, which why idea of that post was born. It is much easier for anyone in same situation to lookup for location agnostic job here, at least it looks like so to me. Also there are postings, which does not say anything about location limitations, until final steps in recruitment process - which is not only time consuming, but in general frustrating.

Backup cameras are going to become critical beyond "learn to drive properly" very soon. My college aged son has literally never driven a car without a backup camera. I taught him to use his mirrors after checking the camera for obstacles the mirrors can't see but I'm sure he's already developed the habit of simply relying on the camera. I'm pretty much there and have 30+ years of driving without them.

No background and filters in the web version.
If it's interactive with a slider, maybe (most people don't scrub the video). Human memory is bad, like really bad.

Snarky answer says "why would you learn to improvise from a textbook?"

Actual answer is: because after 10 years of having a mediocre classical piano teacher beat the love out of my must-syncopate-Beethoven-fingers I decided to learn guitar on my own terms.

I spent hours a day in my room with music I wanted to sing, screwing around with tabs and chord charts and fingering charts. Later when I took a jazz theory course (at a university no less!) I was handed staff music with all these weird scales: mixolydian, dorian, phrygian -- I had no idea this stuff existed. Since I never learned to read staff music on guitar, but I know it on keys, I had to translate by ear. Since I was learning improvisation I wanted a map of the "acceptable" notes that I could mess around on my just hitting them at random. (In a way this is like a hack's Wayne Krantz improv exercise.)

Every autodidact builds their own ruts and then when it's time to learn new tricks they have a choice: build on the rather particular foundations already laid and see if some interesting and useful architecture can be laid on top, or tear it down and do it the "normal" way. I chose expedience and uninterrupted passion, but had to hack my way into it. And I still love the instrument, and I still play in those mental visuals scribbled onto yellow legal paper.

There are myriad ways to approach the guitar, and it seems I found mine. When I check out something like the Pat Martino video course[1] I find it completely baffling, if not profoundly impressive. In my read people think guitar is easier than it is because the 4-chords pop chart is not hard to achieve, but if you want to exceed that the learning curve shifts quickly. I think Chris McQueen of Forq / Snarky Puppy / etc explains this all rather well. [2]

I don’t know what is the wealth tax you are referring to and I don’t see it referenced in my comment.

I was pointing out a historical period where taxes were setup differently than now. We tend to forget it was the case; and it seems to be out of the collective psyché.

Indeed in 2022 nobody pays close to 90%. I was referring to the 1945 to 1960 period. ( see linked article, nice read )

That would make a lot of sense, I remember when that started to appear in windows programming circles, many people jumped on it just because it was new and different but over time it sucks and I actually prefer the W2k look and feel where possible, ie drop down menus and a simple toolbar with icons.
> I don't think their technical capability got significantly worse in that time

I think that was probably around the same time more and more of the web moved from HTTP to HTTPS. Even webmail was accessed over plaintext for a long time, so I guess a lot of signal got worse while legal access got not only better but "integrated".
In this stage of the product development the rate of intervention is not, and likely won't be for a long time, a good measure of failure. We likely won't see full L4 systems for a very long time.

In the mean time, we could start to get a better handle on the safety profile of these systems by better classifying the interventions.

Something like these:

* Intervention due to unreadable conditions (e.g. unpainted lines, a new area with no training data, failure of LIDAR / camera, w/e)

* Human intervention due to not feeling safe

* Intervention due to unsafe condition (e.g. imminent collision, or just hit something)

* Human intervention for other reason (e.g. human is bored, or human changing destination, or human wanting to take another route)

---

#1 could certainly lead to #2 and #3, but is more of an indicator that the car is in novel conditions not trained for, or has hardware failure. #1 is the low hanging fruit (relatively speaking), and #2 is where the majority of the work lies.

#3 is where the system has actually failed.

And #4 need to just be discarded.

I see. Sorry I guess I’m dense, I completely missed that in your message.
I agree with you overall, but would question two parts of your post.

> we can assume that each intervention prevents at least a “ding”.

I don't think we can be sure that the vehicle wouldn't have corrected itself in time, nor how many would have been much worse than a "ding". This is where some closed course testing with simulated pedestrians and bicycles etc may give more evidence. In evaluating self driving software, knowing what the consequences of a failure are is important. As you point out, safety drivers prevent this assessment.

> based on video evidence of FSD

I think that there is selection bias in the readily available footage. Firstly, the short clips are likely to be where there is an incident. The longer ones are usually beta testers deliberately choosing tricky routes to test the FSD. I don't see anyone posting videos of a 3 hour freeway drive where nothing happens.

But my point is just that this is complex, and we should be much more careful than we are being.
It's not the red dot I'm talking about, it's the fact that the game counts it as a wrong guess as soon as you fill in a word. I want to play around with the letters to make all three words before committing to a guess. But the game rejects every wrong thing you put in.

"OpenReplay replays what users do"

wow, invading users privacy sometimes comes at a high price.
I see several comments expressing that they haven't used the radio in years. I still use mine every time I get into my mid-2000s Honda! I'd be cursing the tech gods if they locked me into a single station! I guess I'm not the only one or nobody would have noticed the bug.

My knowledge and following of music is spotty, so radio is key to my discovery of new songs. On long road trips I tend to find good new (to me) songs, as well as get amused by some weird ones. A few highlights from the odd but fun stuff:

- Driving through rural Ohio at midnight I randomly seeked to a station playing "Clean Up the Ghetto by the Philidelphia International All Stars.
- On a Sunday morning in southern Mississippi I heard some happy old dance music accompanied by the jolly but incomprehensible New Orleans drawl of the DJ.
- Driving through West Virginia I heard "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" 3 times on the same morning on different stations.

I don't road trip extremely often but surfing the radio is something I look forward to when I do! I usually get a taste of the local culture and a window outside of my urban tech bubble.
Ya, but that is still a kind of 1 star until they do x kind of thing. Meanwhile if a macOS fan was to say they think Windows is crap because for some reason they feel the need to re-install the OS every month to solve some inexplicable stability problem, it would probably make a bit more sense. I'm a gamer and have a PC only for that purpose, I don't feel like my mac is crap because it doesn't play some of them.
