The sheer number of people I've seen running their hands through water for a second before moving onto the drier was alarmingly high in 2019 (pre-covid).

I don't know how much that's changed, but I wouldn't expect the change to be particularly meaningful, sadly.
Something really changed when the Internet stopped being a physical place you had to go to (a computer, at a desk) and remain at to keep using it.
He reinvented himself in Silicon Valley. Some say he's running from his past.
I wonder if it’s something like the “bozo bit”? Once you see one Waymo car doing something that looks unsafe, your entire perception of “Waymo car” becomes (nearly irreversibly) lower.
Yeah. n = 3 more often than you expect. n <= 12 far more often than you expect. If you don't work at a FAANG, don't automatically assume that your data and algorithm need to squeeze the last O(logn) possible out of the algorithm.
The FSD Beta videos all look like drivers education instructor simulators.

A few weeks ago someone asked me if they should buy FSD and I said I would wait until 1) the automakers are forced to provide insurance 2) they pay you to be a beta tester.

I own a model Y too. It is a great family car. But I am skeptical of FSD right now.
Grafana alerts (before version 8) worked great. We use them, but the Grafana 8 alerting features are half-baked at best.

* Grafana 8 alerts removed the Image Preview, which was extremely useful during issues. [0]

* Grafana 8 alerts don't have any way of being stored as code. In fact the API that they provide in their docs [0][1] doesn't work, or isn't up to date.

* The expression languages have zero documentation about them, so aren't exactly useful for things that might get a developer out of bed in the middle of the night.

If you're worried you should benchmark the differences on your requirements.
Seems like a strange take. Companies are consistently making measurable progress in driverless cars but Fusion is barely inching forward over 5 year increments.
> I'm a bit of a rarity in the modern world

I'll say. It does not sound like you'd be very fun to work with, as a teammate or a stakeholder.
Yeah I prefer the stories where people have a purpose of being somewhere. An expedition, or something more immersive than simply going underwater. Not everyone has the time for that, but this guy does, so I'm really not so amused.
the way to think of these is as instantly reconfigurable trains. in an ideal market, an enterprising entreprenuer would be able to install tracks on the most used routes and lower costs (and emissions). but we've long succumbed to corruption and financialization in markets (note that if risk is priced properly, capital wouldn't need to evaluate opportunities deeply, but would rather take every NPV-positive project available, in order of expected returns, in a large and diverse enough portfolio to mitigate systemic risk).
Just for personal investing I've used calculus amidst some basic modeling to estimate probability of getting certain outcomes under certain assumptions and compute an expected value. This is just to sanity-check my thinking, or to see what the market's thinking.

To understand basic financial concepts, like the present value of an annuity, or implied volatility, requires calculus.

In boring software, simple questions like, how often will a workload miss cache, and what optimizes the cost there, can be modeled... if you use calculus.

Also, in the past, I've casually been thrown into a couple of jobs where calculus was directly applicable to the work I was doing.
Seeing is believing I suppose[1]. I dislike both Tesla and CNN, but it is hard for me argue from this video that the technology is immature. I stand by my original comment. The tech is here. At this time, the main question is who picks up the death toll responsibility.

They have in house council coming out their ears, that know the relevant contracts, regulation and precedents by heart, and whose day job it is to manage these issues. They have the budget to delay / protract things indefinitely.

You are paying hundreds of dollars per hour to someone who is discovering your issue.

It's possible,sure. But how do you think that's going to play out?

Unless you lost kin, or a 5 million dollar inheritence due to your issue with Google, you're going to find a way to live with it.
It's easy to dismiss you because your arguments are nonsense.

Uber's murder car was not autonomous. It was not capable of ever operating without a "safety driver". Therefore it was not an autonomous vehicle. Nor is any Tesla.

Waymo has operated cars with zero humans aboard at various points going back quite a few years. They are legitimate autonomous vehicles.
"How is this being upvoted without an actual POC and using language like “possible” and “may”?"

I appreciate being made aware of the speculation given the ubiquity of Spring. Those that claim an RCE in core Spring would be an order of magnitude worse than Log4Shell aren't wrong.
I was an employee of the Kaufland IT back then, which then was integrated to the Schwarz IT some years ago. Only a small team worked on StackIt back then - it probably grew the last years, but most will not work on this.

I also don't think they will be a serious contendor to the current companies
And as soon as those weeks are over everyone goes right back to their previously scheduled work.
what do you mean 10 years? i remember Elon saying to buy a Telsa in like 2018 because in a year it would make you 60,000 a year by being a robo taxi? this has not happened?
Am I the one who doesn’t want this?

The entire point of UNIX philosophy (Which seems to be something they aren’t teaching in software development these days) is to do one thing and do it well. We don’t need Linux operating operating as a big declarative distributed system with a distributed scheduling systems and a million half-baked APIs to interact with it, the way K8s works. If you want that you should build something to your specific requirements, not shove more things into the kernel.
Yeah, for example passing such an opaque typedef as const is a common trap and very often source of surprise (even for the author of the API), something like:

struct Opaque {
int data;
};

typedef Opaque *OpaqueRef;

void bar(const OpaqueRef ref) {
ref->data = 42; // compiles fine, ref is 'Opaque *const'
}

void baz(const Opaque *ref) {
ref->data = 42; // does not compile, ref is 'const Opaque *'
}
People asking for democracy are attacking the monarch!

People asking for the end of slavery are attacking cotton producers!

People asking for a 5 day work week are attacking the factory owner!

This argument is thrown around every time activists are demanding change and is as old as activism itself. It's not a thing that happens "these days" any more than it has happened before.
> People aren't cogs, and they're not universally interchangeable

People aren't, but humanity is...meaning those drivers might not adapt to new work, but at least their children will. The Luddites had huge problems with obsolescence, but their kids got by OK. A social safety net could take the edge of the transition rather than just delaying the transition indefinitely.
For one, Apple has the better 50% of the market. You could do without Android. Secondly, being subservient to any app storefront policy is not a position you want to navigate into in the first place.
Yeah it's really weird, just so abstracted from it, which is not a bad thing, but when you see it, can't really comprehend it haha. But yeah I know biology works against EMP but I would like to be an electrical being if possible... probably not in our life time.

Will note, even with this kind of mindset, sometimes nihilism, still can't overcome stuff like social anxiety/talking to the hot girl, things like that. So idk...

This also happens when you see some animal get eaten by another animal, you remember I could be on that menu too... like an alligator eating a Cheetah in Africa.
Knowing how to use Google (or another search engine) is probably the biggest multiplier of all. Odds are someone has done something on the sort of problem you are trying to solve.

> At Google's scale, I don't think there are enough humans on Earth to deal with the abuse.

I disagree.

Some time ago, a person (on HN, although it may have been somewhere else) did an estimate of what it would take for Google to review all 500 hrs of video uploaded to YouTube every minute.

The result was that Google could more than afford it.

Based on that I don't see any reason Google couldn't add more humans to deal with these ban appeals.
Or black ice.. hitting the brakes and seeing how far you slide is the only test to determine safety, from my experience.
I started using a new kind of hipster PDA recently. I got a Holy Bible from a hotel room, a pad of post-its, and a felt tip marker or ball point pen. Ultimate hipster notebook. Just use the bible as a binder and the post-it's like the pages. Reconfigurable, rewritable, with a built in index and page numbering system.
This is cute. I thought the variable handling (add to, and remove from) is interesting.

This man is indirectly responsible for Python becoming the lingua-franca of data science. Without Scipy/numpy wrapping his libraries, Python would not have achieved the success it has today.
> There will always be limited resources so how do you distribute those?

Well, to a first approximation, you just have to come up with a market value for each of those resources and then tax anyone who has more than the average total wealth. People would be free to decide which assets they sell to pay the tax.

Things do get complicated when you take into account depreciation of assets, but as long as the amount of depreciation is less than the amount of new value created every year (by the robots?) then you don't have to worry about taxing the people whose assets haven't depreciated as much.

> what if your passion is destructive behavior? drugs, violence other addictions.

I don't think this hypothetical world requires that addictive drugs and violence becomes legal. I suppose someone might enjoy destroying their own property, but any asset destroyed that way could be assigned a nominal value that is the same as it was before destruction, so that the owner wouldn't be rewarded for their self-vandalism.
I visited Tennessee once, walked by a bar and saw a sign saying «Jack lives here». Fun story.

Also, well deserved. I still recall the one talk by Jack Dongarra I ever saw. He threw out there that the iPad 2 had (at the time) the highest performance-per-watt CPU in the world. I’ve waited for the «apple M1 moment» since then - and now, suddenly… fantastic talk covering the whole HPC topic!
Nope. You could call that basic logic... and you'd be wrong, because it's not basic logic.
The field has gotten much much bigger since then. There were so many foundational contributions to the field of computer science that we’re still recognizing them today. There are subfields within subfields of computer science that attract as many researchers as were in all of computer science fifty years ago (think about some of the ML subfields like graph neural networks or style transfer for great examples of this).

This means that new researchers not only have a lot more to learn (and also bigger shoulders to stand on), but also that it’s a lot harder to make your research generally applicable across enough of the breadth of computer science.

That’s not to say that the work that Knuth performed wasn’t worthy of the Turing award, but we’re in a world now where you could easily be 37 and only recently have been awarded tenure (if you’re even lucky enough for that), making him an outstanding exception.
I realize that I'm in a less common industry, but I often end up using calculus and DiffEqs in my day-to-day work working with drones.

To your point on system dynamics, queuing theory pairs really well with calculus on that as well. Being able to somewhat predict how a system is going to behave under load based on measurements and an understanding of how the queues work is super super valuable for decision making.
Are you even bothering to read the article?

I will believe self-driving car is near once I see truck drivers automated. If truck-driving cannot be profitable (with the advantage of no breaks, unlike humans, and a semi-fixed route) how could a personal vehicle or taxi be profitable? It seems it could be one of the first places to optimize. Trucks are so expensive, so they could be early adopters.

I still think your prediction is too optimist. IMO (I admit, based on gut feeling) either we won't have it or the goals will have changed and it will only work in special roads (almost like rails for trains). See you in 10 years (if hn still exists!)
I get what you're saying, but if 'H.' did something bad, Google should be telling companies that hired him to check their source code for malware. They shouldn't be accusing his former employer of being a shell company for 'H.' to continue doing bad things.

>Have you been to a park in a child-raising area lately? They are absolutely packed all the time with kids. Sure, you don't see them downtown, but you head out to the suburbs and you absolutely do.

Oh for sure. If the kid is not quite old enough for the xbox/ps# age. They are totally out at the park. You never see kids out above whatever that age is.

I did see some older kids out tobaganning this winter. maybe in the age 8 range, which is unusually old compared to the playground soccer field age kids.

My comment stands for sure.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire. Of course, I'm being a little flippant, but the MS ecosystem is not without its problems. A colleague has 3 MS accounts for dealing with 3 different things (a government contract, a 3rd party company contract, our company account). Because of this, he was in hell for days because of some fubar on the MS side. I have (seemingly!) different MS accounts, for Azure development and Office 365 and I am regularly confused by the various MS websites.
I don't believe that there's a right answer that will fit all cases here - for issues like same sex marriage, you can find all permutations of social acceptance and lawful acceptance all over earth, yet I think it's hard to justify any position besides lawful and social acceptance.

Lots of comments to this miss the point. If another tech company uses a “Democrat strategy firm”, the report won’t mention it, or even put it in the title.
>The campaign includes placing op-eds and letters to the editor in major regional news outlets, promoting dubious stories about alleged TikTok trends that actually originated on Facebook, and pushing to draw political reporters and local politicians into helping take down its biggest competitor.

Letters to the editor and soliciting reporters is considered "bare-knuckle"!?!

>In October, Targeted Victory worked to spread rumors of the “Slap a Teacher TikTok challenge” in local news, touting a local news report on the alleged challenge in Hawaii. In reality, no such challenge existed on TikTok. Again, the rumor started on Facebook, according to a series of Facebook posts first documented by Insider.

If you take a top experimental particle physicist and put him in Dhaka you don’t get great experimental particle physics; you get a mediocre accountant with memories of particle physics.
It seems like we've discovered things that are obviously bad for us within a decade or two of use. Leaded gas, DDT, ionizing radiation, asbestos. I'm sure there are loads of things that are less than ideal, but it looks like they're all at least an order of magnitude safer than bad things that came to use in the 20th century. It's at a point where the data has problems with statistical significance and confounding variables.
> Also, as I understand, all Krebs has done is wrote "X told me about Y". How is that statement false, if X really contacted Krebs and told about Y?

My advice would be to read the actual complaint[0]. It goes into detail why they are doing this and their various points. The part that is interesting to me at least is Krebs intentionally labeling Sharp differently depending on the sentence in the same article.

> 6. Krebs alternated his descriptions of Sharp, first he describes Sharp as a current employee. He then describes Sharp as a “former Ubiquiti developer” to deceive readers into believing that the sourcing for his original story was a legitimate source—someone other than Sharp. Krebs, therefore, intentionally concealed the fact that the only support for his reporting came from the very person who had just been indicted for hacking and attempted blackmail.

I came here to say this too. A lot of the anti-fraud stuff is a closely guarded secret that changes all the time. I don’t even think that legal would let us disclose it even if we wanted to!

That isn’t to say there shouldn’t be some kind of way to escalate an appeal to a real human.

Of course keeping the fraudsters from DDOSing the crap out the appeals process will be a challenge! Because I could see them doing that…

OP here.

I've seen much recent discussion on HN about robocalls not being resolved by the new STIR/SHAKEN protocol arising from the TRACED Act. I found this on https://regulations.gov and thought it would be of interest.

The big US providers have implemented the STIR/SHAKEN caller ID authentication framework as of mid-2021 but there was a 2-year extension to mid-2023 for small providers. The implementation appears to have been ineffective at stopping robocalls because of origination via the exempt small providers. The FCC has now passed a rule that a subset of small providers (those most likely to be originating illegal robocalls) must be in compliance by mid-2022.

TLDR - if this works there should finally be a dropoff in robocalls this summer.

> and though you might not make your name writing pascal software in 2022

If you look at TIOBE Index, you will see that Delphi/Object Pascal (presently #12) is often ranked above such notables as Go (Golang), Swift, Ruby, Rust, and Lua. A list of languages many would argue a person could make a name for themselves with.

Not saying that TIOBE is the "be all, end all", but it's not like nobody knows Delphi/Pascal or that there aren't companies that have lots of code written in it. To include that Delphi/Pascal is still being taught in many school systems throughout the world (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHcqZEtWBy0&list=PLxAS51iVMj...).

We also have to be mindful to separate from the propaganda and hit jobs by corporate backed competing programming languages that would prefer people not know how competitive, powerful, and useful that Object Pascal is.
