I am on my second electric vehicle (a Tesla Model Y) which I have owned just over a year and driven about 9,000 miles in (55,000 in my Nissan Leaf) in a variety of conditions. To borrow from Freud, my id did not like hearing what David Roberts had to say. But nonetheless I also believe electric vehicles, particularly those with high acceleration, present new dangers and temptations for drivers.

I "leaped" across an intersection just yesterday in Portland -- an intersection which has a light rail train stop in the center divider -- exploiting the torque of my Model Y. While I only peaked at about 5 miles above the speed limit there was not a corresponding audio cue that would be present with a traditional car accelerating comparably. A commuter began an attempt to cross from the light rail stop with his bicycle after I had left the intersection. I felt he had far fewer cues to notice my car. He noticed me and abruptly stopped before completely entering the street. Even though my speed was reasonably safe, I felt the acceleration in the conditions definitely was not. I made a note to my self to take more care there in particular, not expecting I would talk about it on HN the next day.

This is just one specific example -- but the acceleration and sonic characteristics of electric cars present real hazards and drivers should adjust. While driving the Leaf and the Tesla for many years, I have noticed that pedestrians tend to notice me later than they would had I been driving a conventional car.
Is there no point in trying unless you can dominate the segment?
Geographic Hints Help a Simple Robot Navigate for Kilometers
This doesn't make sense. Electric motors are a good bit quieter than gas engines - in fact some manufacturers are adding noise-makers so that pedestrians can hear them coming. You say "especially when raining" which makes me think that this is an issue with the noise dampening of the particular vehicle you're talking about.

Nothing else competes for power:performance ratio. Furthermore only M1s can score 300+ on browserbench. I bet the M1 Ultra will score in the 350-400 range, while Windows PCs can barely peak 220. This is because M1s have AI cores designed specially optimized for web browsing instructions. Browsing the internet simply feels 30% smoother on my M1 than it does on any x86 PC (I use chrome-dev --args --enable-features=CanvasOopRasterization --use-cmd-decoder=passthrough on both OS's) So if you do browser heavy workloads and web app programming like I do nothing else competes.

I am appalled at your insinuation, but even more appalled at all the replies that take your premise at face value.

No. No, there is no such scenario. You can coerce the information out of someone who has the knowledge in other ways, if that is the problem, even though that problem never actually surfaces outside of bad TV show plots.

Torture is wrong. It does not work. It often, in fact, does the opposite of work. It debases our humanity, our civility, and society. It makes the world a worse place in so many ways, I find it sad that otherwise intelligent people are even pondering this.

No. Torture is not morally, legally, or ethically acceptable.

I also guess that people who hold those opinions mostly travel for work, don't pay for their own tickets and have the sort of job where showing up a bit late for meetings once in a while won't get you fired. So for them missing a flight is like me missing a buss.

For most people their 'median' flight is taking them to their special vacation they've been saving up for and planning for years.
Thanks a lot!

I also believe it would be cool to upstream this, we will have to sit down and do some planning.

Compilation time could improve (I was actually working on this today), but it's already in line with other optimizations, taking < 10% of the time spent doing optimizations on a big codebase we use as benchmark.

Currently it's applied to all functions, since runtime it's anyhow somehow linear in the number of Instructions a Function has, but possibly in more costly versions of this (that we have on paper but yet to implement) some logic to filter functions in advance could be used.
> RMS's dislike of Common Lisp really caused a colossal amount of damage. Imagine an Emacs written in Common Lisp instead of Emacs Lisp, with decades and decades of improvements.

If Emacs were written in Common Lisp, only people on big mainframes would have been able to use it in 1985, and it probably wouldn't have become popular in the first place. Also, implementing Common Lisp would have taken much longer. RMS has said that his main goal with his LISP dialect was to keep the programming language as small and performant as possible, since at that time, machines had maybe 1MB of RAM (if you were lucky) and no virtual memory. This is why for instance he decided against lexical scoping (and still, Emacs was known back then as "eight megabytes and constantly swapping").

> Increasing that instead of cutting it every year might even bring back some of those "useless art courses" in K-12 that got axed.

I am all in favor of funding the arts in school, but I have to say every single art class I took in K-12 was absolutely useless. We learned neither art history, appreciation, or any technique of drawing or painting or anything of the sort, and none of my teachers (in an otherwise very good school district) honestly seemed like they would have been competent to teach drawing or painting or art history.

Basically my experience with art in school, as it was taught, was that it was an utter waste of time. I'd love to be able draw decently or have a knowledge of art history on par with say knowledge of European history.
Beyond a few distinguishing elements, the design of the author's app and the design of the purported Gen-Z app aren't really all that far apart.

At the basic level, both are built on a contemporary, minimalist UI discipline, with a similar approach to visually differentiating elements like buttons and fields. The later mostly distinguishes itself typographically, adopting a very trendy "brutalist" type family, with associated practices like mixing widths in the same line. The only other differences are more saturated, high-contrast colors and ambient animation.

The end result for the latter may be considerably less minimalist, but the foundations have a lot more in common than they have differences.
Many years ago it was BBS systems and then as Windows took off it became SMB shares, fun times for sure. It then transitioned to databases open and exposed to the WAN and once those admins became educated the targets were RDP clients that were poorly designed, radmin anyone? Everything to this point led to the Payment Card Industry (P.C.I.) founding as losses accrued and blame assignment for cost absorption was needed. As APIs took off, where we are now, the era of data vacuuming everything insecure continues inclusive of AWS. The future however will redefine what it means to build secure software from day zero as IoT devices that control life and property will continue to grow in popularity as well as attack. Industrial, commercial and residential targets grow by the day such as SCADA, lighting control, hot water tanks, faucets, toilets and all the other devices that will become smart in one's life but I would be remiss to not mention the most important items that will enable remote life manipulation, medical devices. What you cannot see matters most and as connectivity of everything grows exponentially one is likely to not even see it coming. Stay Healthy!

I have to say this article check-mates in 4. All the things that matter upfront. I appreciate the deep dive, too.
The question is when a "view" is determined to have accrued. It's possible there are many more partial views that aren't counted, or that they're somehow aggregating partial views into full 'views' for the purposes of their calculations.

The same thing has happened in the Netherlands. I'm not sure it is down to the speed (they are restricted to 25kmh/16mph there) but rather that older people are cycling more often and further than they otherwise would.

> I'm sure there were plenty of mediocre or terrible plays from other writers at the time that no one cares about now, and are thus not "high culture".

I don't think that is historically accurate.

From what I've read "high" vs. "low" culture changes over time, very often based on aesthetics. Brahms wrote both high and low art by the late 19th-century audience's standards. Today it's all just Brahms, who is a "classical composer", hence all "high art."

Most importantly, there is no reason at all to believe that it cannot change again in the future. E.g., Brahms goes viral and gets treated as some kind of KPop sensation. Then we get some young punk doing cosplay as a steampunk Musikwissenschaftler claiming that Hungarian Dance No. 5 no longer slaps as high as it used to.

> It took me 4 months to know enough of Vim and be comfortable enough to ditch my previous editor for good.

OK, but you can be productive with Eclipse or Jetbrains (or even Emacs) in an afternoon. This implies to me that they're easier.

For me, it also took a few months to get to the point where I felt comfortable getting rid of Emacs and use Vim for everything, but it only took me a few days to be productive with Emacs initially. The swap was worth it, but it was a steep learning curve.
These creators have a following. It seems to me that they should be able to figure out how to finance their usage. Vimeo should give them a chance now that they feel they are too expensive to keep on their platform.

The problem is not that Vimeo decided to charge. It sounds like they should have done it a long time ago. The problem is that Vimeo is not giving them enough time to adapt.

True of the US maybe but not London or Paris.

Also, london does not fund a private team's stadium (like PSD or Tottenham), they do sometimes fund national stadiums (like Wembley).

Let’s stay on topic this article is about the US.
They aren't. I've seen them in the middle.
It's really too bad that authenticating user profiles is impossible. Therefore the socials (Facebook, Twitter, TikTok) have no agency and consequently are forced to serve as unwitting [1] accelerants for propaganda and disinformation.

> users calling for the death of Russian soldiers

What's wrong with that? How is the killing going to stop without eliminating all invaders?

> and very often even Russian civilians.

Show me where you've seen that.

> It's funny how little time it takes to go from "never again" to "lmao kill them all"

"Never again" is about genocide. It's ridiculous to say we should care about the lives of invaders. Russians are bombing Holocaust memorials and you're pretending Russians are the victims. They are the nazis.

> videos of charred and shredded bodies while cheering as if they were watching a soccer game

Those orcs are bombing civilians and committing genocide. When you see innocent pregnant women and children being murdered by Russians you can't help but rejoice at the murderers getting their just rewards.
I agree with your first sentence.

The "sleazy Ukrainian politician" statement however is quite an accusation, especially considering that the Ukrainian president commended her and all other brave Russians who protest and speak up.

Are you speaking about any politician in particular?

I'm fascinated by the alternate ideas that didn't take enough hold to become dominant in our culture and tools.

If you start digging this way, you might be interested in the pyramidal book idea by Robert Darnton, in The Case for Books. He is an 18th century historian but reflected on how the electronic book could be designed/used.

Another interesting exploration (not digital) is Abby Warburg's Mnemosyne Atlas in which he agglomerates images to explain/demonstrate ideas he explores as an art historian.

I definitely believe that paying subscribers would, on average, watch most of the video. There are popular creators publishing 3+ hour videos on YouTube, for free, generating millions of views from viewers watching most of the content... so paying subscribers doing the same is very much within the realms of possibility.
In much of academic debate, free speech is just some ivory tower topic discussed between two sides without much personal risk or involvement, and whoever wins or loses, whatever, afterward you go and grab lunch and forget about it.

But in this case there is such a vast power differential between the two (the persecuted and the persecutor). The Chinese kids are literally taunting the victim of a genocide their country is perpetrating. That's not a free speech/hate speech thing, that's just straight up bullying... while that girl's family is still in danger of life and liberty.

"Hahahaha your family is in danger, boooo you suck, hahaha." That is unacceptable in any circumstance, akin to Holocaust denialism in a synagogue, except that in this case the Uyghur holocaust is still ongoing. One side has no power and is at risk of death while the other side is completely protected and just being assholes.

It's not a freedom of expression issue, it's a basic human decency thing. If you don't want to hear it, just leave, don't taunt the people your government is enslaving and murdering.
> The softbank acquisition was a huge strategic mistake by the UK government

I'm still not sure the UK Government will see it that way. I think it was fundamentally a bad decision, but it happened after the Brexit vote, with the sterling taking its initial hit and not recovering. The government was desperate to show ways in which Brexit was "Good for Britain". The deal got rushed through as a result with British politicians gurning away through photo op and trying to shout through the press how having a major tech company no longer sovereign was somehow a good thing. They may well see this as a big success overall and that it helped the short-term optics.
Literally everyone talks about it, including with the "money printer go brrrr" meme. They even talk about it when it is completely inappropriate like when there's a blatant negative supply shock.

It is one of those "unpopular opinions" that are actually enormously popular.
It’s not entirely nonsense. Not all fake news is social engineering but almost all social engineering has some ‘fake news’ component.

If you can use NLP for detecting social engineering scams, it can also be used to detect fake news. There will likely be false positives. But that’s because the net would be wide.
It would be interesting if there were an incentive for the various last mile ISPs to run a sort of "conglomerate" CDN where you could put bandwidth hungry things close to their users. Google and Netflix have these sorts of ISP hosted cache boxes, but as far as I can tell, they are the only ones with enough leverage so far.
Those of us that hate cars still sometimes need them too, and a review from someone who also hates cars is more relevant than one from someone who lvoes them.
That's consistent, because compelled speech is not free speech - more the opposite.
Please mainstream this in general. It would save a decent amount of RAM if it became a standard part of LLVM and would probably improve overall performance due to cache effects. Dead code sitting in RAM would be bad for cache locality.
You can actually do more damage with a dull knife both from the perspective of being more likely to cut yourself when struggling to cut something else, and that the wound tends to be more ragged, bleeding more, and taking longer to heal.
I prefer PDFs over EPUB files. EPUB looks too raw for my liking. PDFs retain the original style of a book. I have a separate monitor with Okular[0] running on it to read e-books. But to answer your question: an iPad is preferable too, and more ergonomic as you can lie down when reading a book which I enjoy too.

As a product manager, I read this and found a founder clinically dismissive of user perspectives and feedback that doesn't align with their own internal viewpoints. Confirmation bias to the n-th degree. His quote of her feedback ("It's so exciting. Every time I open it, it makes me happy. Sometimes they have doge pop up!") is almost certainly embellished and is a non-empathetic take on a genuine user perspective.

The mock [1] even radiates the "millennial snowflakes" energy that used to be prevalent, with the "You are unique. You are different".

Why? Scion FRS (famously underpowered, mentioned in every review I've seen) is the car in the USA that in 2021 was the most (at fault) accidents per car sold. Not even 200HP last I looked.

I've got a M3P and after keen observation of ever Tesla I see on the road they are the last car I worry about safety wise. The ones I worry about are mostly WRXs, riced out Hondas, and Minivans.

There is a very big difference: ActiveX was native code that was literally running on your system with full access to system calls.
