That's such a ridiculous problem to worry about. Humans don't try to solve the trolley problem, either, I don't know why we suddenly expect computers to be able to do it.

The real answer is actually simple, and it's basically the same advice for human drivers: stop the car, however you can. Don't try to swerve, don't get clever, just dynamite the brakes and hope for the best. Or as they say on the race track "both pedals in!"

Anything else is foolishness. I think magazines just like to talk about it because it makes people click.

That's not how interpreted it.. there's way too much elitism in tech. And also aggregations about how easy or difficult things are.

"AI will solve things" -> they have no clue, and just trust it's gonna work itself.

"It's difficult to add a field to that form, it'll take 2 weeks" -> usually bs.

I read the thread, and I fully agree that it should be a weekend work. So yeah, it's just other devs mismanaging their time, and therefore saying that things take way longer.

The issue created 2 days afterwards (https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/10461) starts with the previously suggested solution which didn't make any sense because the original post "didn't understand how DirectWrite works, and yadayadayada". The solution is as trivial as "but just optimize our render pass instead"

No sarcasm there.

The whole sarcasm is just covering up their own ass

> Do you value security, or do you value convenience? And in what proportion?

Or to look at this from the threat analysis side, there are many different threat models and not everyone has the same ones.

This is why it is so wrong for these cloud services to consider only one single threat model and impose it on everyone.

Denial of service is also a consideration in threat modeling and 2FA does increase the risk of loss of access. Whether that's worth it depends entirely on other factors which will vary for each individual and group. It's never a clear cut answer.

Personally I have TOTP enabled on my github account (not on a phone, that's too fragile) but that's because it makes sense for my use case.

There are other provider accounts where I have no desire to ever enable 2FA because I value access from anywhere with only my memory far more.

Cloud providers should not be making threat modeling decisions on behalf of users, each user needs to make their own.

Another reason to self host most things, you can implement your own best policy.
Don’t political scientists study those questions? Social capital and trust, rule of law, comparative analysis of institutions are some things I know social scientists study.

Anthropologists probably avoid analyzing the causality between culture and national success for the same reasons historians de-emphasize it. It’s an impossible dimension to tease out. Countries don’t exist in cultural silos untethered from history, geography, and foreign relations.

If anything the first is the flawed approach. The models that come out of it frequently fail to capture the complexity of reality. And that’s why so many data informed policy interventions fail.

And on the topic of applied social science. I don’t think attributing success to culture would even be useful because a culture in one place (or time) can be successful, but would be disastrous in other contexts.

On a personal level I would be distrustful of any attempts of the government to optimize culture. Culture is not the domain of Caesar.
Those leading hospitals probably do not exist considering the time it takes for scientific knowledge to be used in practice is often infinity.

Thanks for reporting!

Yeah, I'm aware of this error, it seems to be related to the shared hosting I'm using, I can't replicate it when serving locally. But as long as it is "falling back to ArrayBuffer instantiation" all is good, and I didn't investigate further because this fallback mechanism actually loads the WASM module faster than the "streaming compile" method (these things are provided by Emscripten).

I have no idea why it didn't load on the first try for you though.
For me the corollary of this ("you just invented a more expensive railway") is the business model assumptions that go away. Long distance trucking is still a likely winner, but there is still the "last mile / last off ramp".

None of the business models touted today survive the new railway problem. That's not to say it's not a valuable technology - it's just we cannot whistle up a human shaped robot that just does what we want.

In the same way a machine is shaped by its function, our cities and infrastructure green will be shaped by their function.

Disneyland is built one level up, so that all the service tunnels (with I am sure some self driving robots) can get around without getting in the way of people. Whatever we rebuild our (climate neutral) cities to be, i think less surface space given to transport will be high
You can. There's the concept of query complexity as well that lets you simply reject queries that are too complex and likely to cause trouble.
> If you think Teslas driven [...] can't be remotely commandeered or disabled, then I have a bridge to sell you.

I wonder how this is even remotely possible, given that Teslas can easily operate fully offline (which they frequently do in areas with poor cell reception). You can just build a small faraday cage encasing the modem so that it cannot receive signal, and you are good to go.

Also, I don't think that the drivetrain subsystem and the subsystem that is connected to the internet can even interop. I know for a fact that even if the main computer (the one that is connected to the big screen) on a tesla is rebooting or shutting off, you can still operate the car like usual.
Yes could be. We should point out that QLDB isn’t open source and only runs as an AWS service.

That sounds trivial I think because you are looking for exactly one item and there's no pagination involved.

The problem might be to get those 352nd pages of every book with the title starting with "A" sitting on 3rd shelf of every city library: when there are unbounded results nested deeper than top-level, and possibly those multiple times, that's when it gets hairy.

I'm being downvoted - but this is the reality of what will happen. Who wants that sort of monitoring when they are driving?

Is this a consumer-driven feature? Or is this more government management - leveraging technology to micro-manage every detail of our lives - only allowing good citizens travel privileges etc?

We are sleep walking into a dystopia, and I get downvoted for stating the obvious! Seriously - your government is about managing you, saying what you are and aren't allowed to do, extracting taxes, fines and licensing fees from you - its not there to help!

> in reality, being able to sell your house for 1.5MM isn't that much of a windfall when other houses are at least 1MM and rising rapidly, and renting is more expensive than having a mortgage.

This is starting to hit a lot of my parent's social circle. They are retiring, mostly from the edge of a big city.

About half plan to or have retired in a small town. In that case they are able to get something with the $1.5M they sold for, but they are driving prices up in those towns in a way locals can't afford.

The other half wants something else in the city. Some remaining in the suburbs, others move more into the city, others "in the sticks" and are all surprised that that's going to use up all of their $1.5M. They expect to buy something for $200k and have the rest for retirement lol.

There are indeed. Basically if you take certain antibiotics you're rolling the dice, because they kill off a bunch of your gut bacteria, and when the populations recover you might end up with toxic strains dominant which is an acute illness. I got a c difficile infection after a strong round of antibiotics. It took months to recover, because basically the treatment is to take more rounds of antibiotics and hope the right bacteria dominate.
Only reason for them to fill such suit is if they were malicious and wanted the other party to waste time, money and resources... Not exactly something that is good corporate leadership. Or even good for their shareholders.

The digestive system is supposed to be fully sandboxed from the host. Topologically it is as exoneous to your body as your skin and the sandboxing is necessary for your bacteria to not digest yourself.
I would appreciate references on permeability mechanisms allowing for bacteria movement inside the body, on healthly humans.
I mean there is a digestive system to human blood interface but I doubt it allow bacteria/archae/parasites/shrooms/atypical single celled eukaryotes to cross it.
(little known but ~30% of your microbes are not bacteria but archae and withouth those we would not fart)
> A shift in the competitive landscape might encourage distributors to integrate better with aggregators or meta-interfaces of various sorts. Or directly with one another, in some fashion.

That's a big "might" there, isn't it equally possible that eventually distribution will converge on a single platform? It's much easier for that kind of thing to happen with streaming than with, say, theaters.

> I think the strongest argument in favor of the current arrangement is that monopolies yield rents, which (might!) mean more money for production.

But there is no monopoly right now. I don't think you can slice an industry as thinly as "Star Wars TV shows" and say Disney has a monopoly there. Disney does not have a monopoly in the streaming market, no-one does. They have a monopoly in the same way Walmart has a monopoly on Walmart brand toothpaste, I guess.

At most you can say it's an oligopoly, which I somewhat agree with and yes, it seems like it could be improved.

> However, I think in a world where no production companies could own streaming platforms, production companies would probably... you know, still produce lots of content, since selling content would be their main way of making money, and you can't sell what you don't have.

If the government bans production companies from distributing their shows, mandating middle men and lower profit margins for the producers, that decreases the incentive to spend as much on production. And it's not clear that forcing a distribution middleman into the transaction is going to lower prices. After all, when Netflix raised prices, people left despite Netflix's "monopoly" on Netflix Original content.

Either of us could be right, it would be great if we could find some data, or some example from another industry to get a clearer picture.

Passive DNS doesn't request every possible entry.

What happens is that when say, somebody uses their AT&T phone to ask A? tialaramex.prepend.com the AT&T DNS servers tell them that's 10.20.30.40 and the AT&T DNS servers tell a passive DNS outfit, "At 18:26 UTC the answer to A? tialaramex.prepend.com was apparently 10.20.30.40"

Now, I'm sure that lots of HN readers have a local manually configured DNS resolver that of course isn't feeding passive DNS. And some of them might even have an upstream DNS resolver which is bootstrapped and that too does not feed passive DNS. It's not even difficult if you were insistent upon doing it.

But, the design guy's iPhone which he used to take a quick screenshot? Probably just uses a public DNS resolver. The woman who trains front line support and asked for a sneak peak ready to start training on the new site? She probably has 8.8.8.8 set as her DNS resolver.

So just like asking for the publicly trusted certificate, this is another way that your DNS names go from "Nobody would guess what that is" to public knowledge in seconds once they leave your hands.

I imagine there are a couple reasons that boil down at some point to kinetic energy. Stopping distance goes up pretty quickly, there's a huge difference between, say, 40mph and 60mph.
The controversial assumption I'm referring to is that all charitable giving prior to EA was wrong-headed and that the way in which everyone else prioritizes their giving is wrong in prioritizing by both need and connection.

EA isn't just saying that you need to prioritize based on measurable outcomes, but that you should take no consideration of your own position in society when choosing to give. Don't pay back to the community that fostered your success, others are more in need. And I say this is controversial because it goes directly against almost all previous examples of altruism.

That threshold is generally considered to be 20mph. Below that speed pedestrian injuries are unlikely to be fatal.

It's what urban speed limits are in Sweden, and they average about one pedestrian death a year in the entire country.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--

(1) alcohol-impaired driving fatalities represent
approximately \1/3\ of all highway fatalities in the United
States each year;

(2) in 2019, there were 10,142 alcohol-impaired driving
fatalities in the United States involving drivers with a blood
alcohol concentration level of .08 or higher, and 68 percent of
the crashes that resulted in those fatalities involved a driver
with a blood alcohol concentration level of .15 or higher;

(3) the estimated economic cost for alcohol-impaired driving
in 2010 was $44,000,000,000;

(4) according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety,
advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology can
prevent more than 9,400 alcohol-impaired driving fatalities
annually; and

(5) to ensure the prevention of alcohol-impaired driving
fatalities, advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention
technology must be standard equipment in all new passenger motor
vehicles.

(b) Definitions.--In this section:
(1) Advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention
technology.--The term ``advanced drunk and impaired driving
prevention technology'' means a system that--
(A) can--
(i) passively monitor the performance of a
driver of a motor vehicle to accurately identify
whether that driver may be impaired; and
(ii) prevent or limit motor vehicle operation
if an impairment is detected;
(B) can--

[[Page 135 STAT. 832]]

(i) passively and accurately detect whether
the blood alcohol concentration of a driver of a
motor vehicle is equal to or greater than the
blood alcohol concentration described in section
163(a) of title 23, United States Code; and
(ii) prevent or limit motor vehicle operation
if a blood alcohol concentration above the legal
limit is detected; or
(C) is a combination of systems described in
subparagraphs (A) and (B).

Yeah, the VB6 IDE stutters and crashes horribly on just about any Windows after XP and Microsoft support documents suggests to not run it on anything more recent. So that means VMs at this point and XP being out of support too that means VMs that are network isolated as best as possible.

Sure, the compiled apps still run fine, so at this point developer experience suffers a lot more compared to user experience and some users don't understand how much harder every day it is to work on VB6 codebases. (It's a bit of a horror hidden from users.)

The VB6 IDE predates a lot of modern code navigation tools.

The VB6 IDE predates common deployment of the mouse scroll wheel and scroll wheel support is provided by a cranky extension to the IDE that stutters awfully.

I repeat: Scroll wheel support is broken by default in VB6 and there's an extension you can find on the web to install (if you can malware scan it and get it across your network isolation boundary to your XP VM) and it's still awful. Imagine trying to read thousands of lines ancient code without scroll wheel support. Might as well be on papyrus scrolls.

The last version of git that supported XP is now pretty ancient and showing its age.

Good luck setting up an XP build agent for VB6 IDE CI. Which it never supported anyway (the IDE never had a good CLI build tool).

Developer experience of maintaining VB6 IDE apps in 2022 is pretty horrible and morale destroying.
In my uninformed estimation, I think Elon, like a lot of us 7-8 years ago, saw the recent advances in deep learning and figured they'd be capable of anything in a few years. You just need to scale them up and train the shit out of them and out pops self driving. Some of us have since repented but Tesla made too many promises so they've got to keep pushing that narrative or they become just another car company.
You can, but it's usually easier to set a data breakpoint than to find every place where the data is modified, add sufficiently verbose logging statements there + upstream of there, rebuild, and search through logs.
