If you have 10 cars wanting to use a stretch of road capable of carrying 10 cars at 8AM at speed X with the safest distance gaps, and you add 10 more cars, then there will be some combination of congestion behind this stretch of road, the distance gaps getting smaller, or cars driving faster now that there are 20 cars.

If you add a lane so that 20 cars can travel at the safest driving distance gaps at 8AM at speed X, but this then causes 10 more cars to come on the road because they see the possibility of using a road that is maybe just under maximum capacity, then you now have 30 cars on a 20 capacity road, and once again you end up with previous situation as 20 cars on a 10 car capacity road.

Obviously these things are impossible to exactly predict and constantly in flux and so engineers and politicians and drivers are all crudely estimating the shifts of supply and demand curves, and the overestimating and underestimating will cause congestion, or complaints of excess road, etc.
He probably meant that Russian is an outlier is many respects when it comes to Slavic languages.

Something like Slovakian would be much better as a base.
I have a Model Y, and I don't feel comfortable with autopilot or lane assist. Both of them do "dumb stuff" regularly. The day I got the car, lane assist attempted to steer me into the center median of a highway when the car was going around 50 miles per hour. After that, I realized I'm not interested in "beta" features that put my life in danger. Autopilot drives like a paranoid grandma. It brakes constantly when it shouldn't. All that said, the car is a lot of fun, and I really enjoy it, but I choose to maintain full control at all times.
> slight nudge

To clarify, this only applies if the car doesn't think you're about to exit the lane. It will momentarily fight you, and it will take more than a slight nudge to override it.
I wonder why.

Also for anyone without showdead enabled, RamblingCTO is not replying to Vladimir but to another comment that got (rightfully) killed within a minute or two.
My Tesla slams on the breaks every time it sees a car at an intersection waiting for me to pass, it assumes that the car won't stop or has not stopped. It does the same with cars which are stationary (parked on the road) which I am steering around while under cruise control.
I used to check the front page about twice a day and the newest section anywhere from one to ten times a day depending on how busy I am. Now I've set up phihole to automatically block HN during my workday, so I don't spend too much time doomscrolling to see what the latest in Ukraine is.
This is what I loved about Deus Ex, actions had consequences. Too bad it didn't catch on with later games.
> Let's make sad tabs happy again! In the event that a client runs out of GPU memory or some other disaster befalls your canvas, you can now receive a callback and redraw as needed:

No... this isn't how it should be. The browser should hide such details from the javascript. The canvas contents either shouldn't be lost by the GPU at all, or if they are, the browser should keep enough information to be able to recreate it (for example, a backup of all the canvas pixels plus recent draw commands executed).

Lets be honest - most GPU context losses are GPU driver bugs and should just be fixed, not require every web page to try to redraw to work around them.
There was a Russian troll here asking why I didn't leave earlier even though I knew this would happen, and whether I'm planning on bribing officials to avoid conscription. I already wrote the answers but the parent comment was flagged, so posting here:

1. Most people I know didn't believe Putin would suicidally start a large-scale invasion, despite potentially severe losses (~10k Russian soldiers killed so far in a week) and the complete destruction of Russian economy. Many thought US intelligence' warnings were a part of the information warfare for deterrence. We were wrong. Putin is actually this insane.

2. I registered where I'm staying locally and the military have my number / temp address if they need me. But the number of volunteers to fight WAY exceeds military capacity, so for now I'm staying in the rear and helping where I can make the most impact — by rallying donations, consulting IT volunteers on local map projects, and spreading the truth. I'm contemplating getting my wife and kids through the border but will stay in Ukraine myself, like other Ukrainian men.
IMHO, Putin is looking at this from a century perspective. I.e. in a hundred years, the sanctions will be gone, Europe will be trading with Russia again, and Russia will still have the land.
I look at biology as the results of a billion years of tinkering (evolution) as apposed to an engineer sitting down and designing something from the ground up. DNA is like a massive code base that has been modified for billions of years with no documentation or refactoring. Tons of duplicate code, genes that depend on completely unrelated genes, tons of stale unused code to wade through. Scientists are trying solves bugs while working through a billion years of technical debt. On one hand we ended up with a amazingly reliable and efficient pumps in our chests. On the other hand we have backs that constantly break down and fail.
Allowing/supporting crypto mining is short-term thinking.

It's a bunch of wealthy people burning absurd amounts of fossil fuels solely for the purpose of making themselves wealthier. There is no benefit to society from allowing this.
When US government starts an official register of "terrorists", adding to it literally everyone who does not agree with its official position, we can talk about the word being similar to "foreign agent".
They’re just trying to dogpile on the “brake check” reporting previously. Brake checks are not car comes to a stop. There’s a lot more to this.
>were more efficient in (relatively) colder environments

this is definitely false;
While almost everything (electronics/mechanics/hydraulics/pressure vessels) hates the heat, the operation temperature for Li-Ion cells is not too low, either. In very layman terms: the chemistry is not effective at lower temperatures.

As an experiment: have a two year phone and leave it at -20C, it might shut down on its own even at higher charge (voltage) as the battery cannot provide the needed current.
Maybe Microsoft didn't like the results of the OLE era and decided embedding wouldn't work for enough users.

It seems the "live recompute everything" ala Brett Victor (and previous) is spreading, do you agree ??
>Likewise Serbian sutra, which in Russian is zavtra, same idea (in the morning, i.e. tomorrow) but with seemingly more unnecessary manipulations (considering morning is still utro in Russian).

I'm not sure what the argument is here. Can you elaborate?
If NVIDIA's firmware's signature private keys are in a standard file instead of being in a HSM (Hardware Security Module), as all serious companies do,
then NVIDIA can only blame themselves.

I seriously doubt that firmware's signature private keys are in hacker's hands.
Of course not, society shouldn't be able to do this and constitutions should codify individual rights. But on the other hand, freedom of speech shouldn't cover public platforms for outright lies.
Tesla use this names unforunetly "FSD" and "Autopilot", instead of lane assist or driver assist... we need everyone including fanboys to demand Tesla stop push fake capabilities, maybe name it MFFSD = Maybe in future Full Self Driving
But in none of the responses is any large scale sustainable solution. In an ideal world, yes, everyone will use federated solutions. But articles like these are not helpful unless a mass market solution is done or proven.

Even jitsi cannot federate with bigbluebutton.

Sadly, we don't offer our turkey up to any thunder god. It's even traditional for presidents and governors to pardon a turkey. Blasphemy!
It's disconcerting how the Western reaction to the invasion is a combination of 1. total overreaction and 2. total refusal to take it seriously.

The present outcome is already a catastrophe as it is. Could the Western leaders please stop this pretense of "we got this" and maybe just become a tiny bit afraid of Russia and what it can do if truly pushed against the wall? I'm getting some serious "Don't look up" vibes here.
I actually think the same thing (designed for Southern California only) about self driving cars. My car comes with a bunch of pointless sensors that beep nonsense at me incessantly until I give up and disable them. The lane assist goes bananas while I dodge ample potholes or drive around road construction, so I turn that off. But even the panic breaking constantly complains it is no longer working (indicated by an irritating beep) because some combination of salt, road splash and maybe sun has disabled it. Heck, the backup camera requires frequent wipe downs due to salt otherwise I can't see anything out of it but a muddy blur.

I've never owned a self driving car, but I suspect they'll just throw up their hands and tell you to deal with it in the event of any inclement weather. Which would be about half the time around here!
It's an advertisement. Imagine the offers they must be getting from crypto cartels. Even if Nvidia commits to open source, there's no guarantee nothing will get sold off elsewhere, just not in the big public way that will momentarily tank NVDA then probably make it skyrocket just as the chip supply returns another great crypto rush on GPUs begins, if it already hasn't.

It's exceptionally good timing for some, isn't it?
Thank you! Is it safe to say you want the wires transmitting the power to be cold, ideally, but the battery itself not necessarily so? (Thinking about the electric grid, etc here as well.)
Seems like an issue of only using cameras as sensors.

It's probably triggering Automatic Emergency Braking.

That is a useful feature in cities. I personally heard of one instance of a car stopping automatically for a kid that just jumped on the road...
>The best engineering managers I've had trusted their engineers. I think that's the most important part, and that's the part that some managers are bad at.

Very Very True. This is the main thing that matters, everything else is secondary. "Trust" implies that you "Respect and Recognize" them as "Intelligent Decision-making Individuals" and that's what one's ego needs to do their best.
one [more] thing i want is to be able to retain canvas context settings when resizing the canvas. e.g. it's unreasonably very expensive to re-sync the lost ctx.font on every dragged pixel - this operation alone dominates my perf profiles. i have no idea why it should be so expensive once the font is already loaded / cached in mem.

ctx.fillText() is the next perf killer :(

maybe i can sacrifice some quality for speed during resize with the new ctx.textRendering, though.

...and one more thing. why is there no easy inverse of ctx.clip(), e.g. ctx.mask()? currently i think it requires resorting to awkward Path2D composition/cloning + evenodd ctx.fill() hacks:

> It's sad to hear that graphics drivers are still not a solved problem on Linux.

This is not a Linux (or BSD) problem but purely a Nvidia Issue. After my last issue with an embedded Nvidia GPU in my motherboard (~10 years ago), I stay far away from Nvidia, I will never but anything remotely associated with Nvidia until they Open Source their drivers. I knew someone who worked there as an engineer and told him that, he just smiled with me knowing I knew it is really beyond his control.

This is 2022, we should be well beyond the point of worrying about Video Hardware in Linux/BSD.
Absolutely. In the context of high way driving especially with its high speeds, the slight slowing down to maintain follow distance even if people were constantly moving in is negligible to the overall trip time, and it’s highway driving where that follow distance is the most critical to saving lives.

If people sat down with the numbers and realized how little that slight slowing down in the moment someone moves in front of them impacts their trip time, how little it matters to the original trip time that someone passed them, the roads would be a lot safer, less stressful, and faster overall.
Car in front saw the car before them suddenly start to brake, but Tesla was still moving fast enough to get out of the way. Which revealed an almost stationary car to the person behind, whom was still driving 70mph.

I can see how that is hard to react to.

I wasn’t sure how hard though, so I did a thought experiment.

Say there is 50m between each car, and they’re all driving 25m/s. First car starts braking at 5ms. After one second the distance between 1 and 2 is 45m. After two seconds, 35m. After 3s, 20m, and the car is evading. After 4s, car 2 is passing by 1, whom is now moving at only 5m/s. Car 1 is finally revealed to car 3, who now has a maximum of two seconds to do something before it crosses the 50m gap.

And that’s assuming an adequate gap. They were likely closer.

I'm clearly saying you didn't fall for the baseless idiotic conspiracy theories about Biden stealing the election or Trump colluding with Putin to hack the election, or being a "foreign agent". Not sure what you're all worked up about.

And I'm not talking about "obvious ties to Russia" whatever that means (everyone seems to have weird ties and uranium sales and gas company deals with Russia, Ukraine, etc). I'm talking about the delusional baseless conspiracy theory that Trump colluded or conspired with Putin to hack or otherwise influence the election. That was the conspiracy theory that so many were repeating and so so many gullible people fell for.
Could you tell your daily routine? I would like to calculate your carbon footprint and compare with mine to see whose is higher. By it, we can figure if you or me (an average cryptocurrency user) is harming the planet more.
Have you ever had someone in front of you swerve out of the way, leaving you facing a stopped car? It's exciting, let me tell you. The idea of safe following distance is predicated on the car in front of you not being able to defy physics when they stop, presumably their braking power is similar to yours.
> some pretty specialized and hard to find knowledge

This is irrelevant (not to be harsh). The question is what problem do people (businesses) have that you solve. I used to think similarly, I had a phd, and I knew a lot of "specialized" stuff that takes a long time to understand. Turns our nobody cared.

Obviously I know nothing about your position so maybe you're past this. But my advice is to make sure you frame your work in terms of how you can help with a problem someone has (including who has this problem, what they're doing now, etc), and not what special skills or knowledge you have
Because "sz" has another pronunciation (like "s" "z"), where "x" has no pronunciation at all.
Lithium ion battery viscosity increases at lower temperatures which slows ion transport.

EVs also have to heat the cabin without much "waste" energy (ie-- ICE).
New is always frustrating.

Instead I'll write my own context.reset_bogus() that simply calls canvas.width = canvas.width

Same for round rect. Some of the other features though ... not so simple, ha ha.
> The allure of having a car that drives itself is to relax the mind from paying attention to the road, handling 99% of the situations correctly through the software. But the 1% that require human input are made much more dangerous because the driver not only needs to handle the situation, they need to instantly catch up and familiarize themselves with the situation they've found themselves in.

There's also the separate recognition that no matter Musk's bombast on Twitter, Tesla's FSD stack is _nowhere near 99%_ correct handling. It's still absolutely regularly confused by bike lanes, only recently resolved roundabouts, and I could go on. But bottom line, not 99%. I'd be thinking closer to 60-75%, at best.
This was confirmed to be electrical failure, not autopilot or FSD.
utro = morning, sutra = in the morning, zavtra = also in the morning but weirdly distorted for no obvious reason. There seems less etymological distortion in Serbian.
When I moved to Boston, the first lesson I learned was any gap in front of me that can fit a car will soon have one there. I think it is big cities in general not just regions.
Your comparison does not apply. I do not believe Subaru is selling Eyesight as a hands-off driving system. AFAIK its purely marketed as a safety system for emergency braking, lane keep assist and the like. On Tesla's side they market it as a the holy grail "autopilot".
I'm not sure what is going on over at Tesla but the regular ordinary software doesn't really seem to be as much of a priority as before. We had the crappy UI refresh. Phantom AP and emergency braking are still a big problem. But we still get Elon happily chirping about v-whatever of FSD coming out. That the vast majority of customers don't actually use or have.

I don't know if it's a case of nobody wants to work on the boring things because there is no incentive or a disincentive to. But I'm sick of basic features not working well.
I once took a defensive driving class, and the teacher's primary point throughout the whole thing is the only area of your car you have control over is the area in front of you. You obviously can't control whether people are beside you or not. You can't stop the person behind you from tailgating. All you can really do is ensure you have adequate space in front of you to respond to events.
Sure there is. Every driver has a duty to be able to stop in assured clear distance and to maintain proper lookout. The vehicle that struck the Tesla, breached these duties and is the proximate cause of the loss. Tesla/the driver of the Tesla, shares some contributory negligence for assumption of risk. 80% liability on the rear ending vehicle and 20%on the Tesla.
Indeed, pretty much any conductor (that carries high current) would be more efficient (lower resistance) at lower temperatures. So the losses in the cables would be lower. However, that's a tiny part compared to the temperature needed for the battery chemistry to be efficient on its own.

It’s ever so convenient to be against the mandates until you need to go to the hospital, and then whoops sorry it’s full of people who got their medical advice from the internet.

And to be clear, 100% of those who refuse the vaccine and get a bad case, immediately and ever so conveniently start trusting doctors again, tuck their tails between their legs and run to the nearest hospital.
At what point do you as the nuclear plant operator consider chernobyl 2.0?

You know Russia would ultimately take the blame.
But I would think that only relates to mechanical breakdowns due to normal wear and tear or lack of proper maintenance? Wouldn’t a manufacturer have responsibility if the breaks failed at high speed the day I drove my new car off the lot?
Reminds me of evercookie.

A better title is "New treatment improve survival rate of cancer patients". It's not a lie. If they have a few extra characters they can add the type of cancer (that is a very important detail) (perhaps the part of the body instead of the technical name), the name of the drug (it's nice to search info) or where the research was done (people love the human touch). The stage is very important, but perhaps it's too technical.

I'd like to see if it's it was tested in humans/mice/vitro, many articles with a title that says "cure" are actually articles about a promising in vitro experiment.

Also if they had a control group[1], because there are a lot of cures that are just an optimistic view of bad methodology. I think most of the times it's not on purpose, they just skip a few steps to make the research faster, but the steps are there to avoid repeating error detected in previos studies.

[1] Preregistered double blind randomized controlled clinical trials that are good enough to be published in a serious peer review journal, or it didn't happen.
Or the opposite, I imagine a name like "John Smith" couldn't have this issue because there would be so many matches.

Not long ago, it was literally impossible to buy a PC in regular stores, without it having Windows pre-installed.
Oh yeah, tell me about it. I spent 6 months adding text selection across blocks to the Notion editor. At least MutationObserver exists today! And beforeInput is something. It’s not enough, because of IMEs and Android, but it’s something.
Same here. And it will display a constant icon on both the console and my HUD if I have insufficient stopping distance.
Ban crypto mining. Outlaw exchanging cryptocurrencies (directly) to USD (and other fiat currencies, but USD is the big one for now).
Covid-related, I did the opposite. I shelved my travel plans for fear of being stuck in a "third-world" country in favour of waiting it out in the UK, hoping that a sane response to the pandemic from what seems like an advanced country would keep me safe. It turned out that our response was a complete shit-show that only managed to waste 2 years of people's lives and some poorer countries' responses were as good if not better.
My wife forbade me from using AP [with her in the car] after a few phantom braking occurrences. I got sorta used to it and could jab the go pedal pretty fast, but it scared the daylights out of her. Can't really blame her. I get nervous enough as a passenger when there's a human driving, much less when a computer is driving that mistakes shadows for obstacles.
Yes, that was the point of my comment. Tesla does not unfortunately use the words “full self driving”, they intentionally use the words “full self driving” for marketing purposes to mislead people. How it is not a clear case of false advertising for regulators to go after, I do not know.

I could even envision the plausible deniability/marketing bullshit behind “self driving”, but to go out of your way and declare FULL self driving, and not get smacked for false advertising is beyond me.
There're different levels of authoritarianism and Russia was usually at the far end. Especially compared to the other Slavic countries it annexed like Novogrod Republic of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth which had parliaments and elections in 1500s.

But even compared to the absolutist monarchies of the west Russia was more authoritarian. For example serfdom was only abolished in Russia in 1861.
> crashes are far less common per million miles driven when autopilot is engaged.

Does this count crashes that occur after autopilot disengages?
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/missouri-man-killed-in-...

"Investigators said a 2019 Tesla had a mechanical issue that caused the vehicle to lose power and stop in the middle of the interstate."

Nothing to do with Autopilot or FSD like everyone is assuming. Cars fail all the time, but it's only news if it happens to a Tesla...
