This might not work for you, but I've found that "recurring" tasks and the never-ending stream of "one-off" tasks are best managed in separate applications.

I use a kanban-style thing for managing one-off's, which I use to "fill-in" my free time, and a calendar/reminder-style thing that I use to schedule recurring events. It's possible to set up syncing between the two, but I haven't found it necessary.

At first, I tried to put recurring things in the kanban-style app. They would fester and quickly/irreparably get out sync with reality. I also tried putting one-off things in the calendar/reminder-style things, but managing a backlog in such an application is usually a nightmare.

I've experimented with TW in the past. I really enjoyed the productivity aspect. Ultimately, I discovered that portability (i.e. a web interface) was more important than efficiency, and crawled back to the kanban-style thing.
Thank you for sharing this real-world experience!

It is precisely these sorts of really-very-hard challenges that have led me to conclude that "FSD" absent general AI is not plausible, unless you narrow the definition of FSD to mean something that can only be used in the 80% case.

The thing that perplexes me is why the industry isn't chasing the 80% case, e.g. follow-the-leader cross country traffic on interstates... I always think, the interstate system is tailor made in so many dimensions (regulatory and physical) for roll out of limited but robust automation, and the number of highway miles there probably represent the vast majority of total miles driven...

In shipping it seems you could be predicting and real-time sharing local conditions to allow for graceful exit from automation when required, and, avoid the situations where it was reasonably well.

There's always the outliers, though... tumbleweeds, smoke, fog, bad actors...
Where is the evidence it is supported with real world assets?
These are Tesla-only problems because they were using Continental radars from 2012. Everyone else has developed advanced radars like Waymo with their high-resolution imaging radar that can track objects that are moving and stationary [1] or see through fog [2].

This is another way of saying Tesla wanted to cut costs and not invest in radar development.

They are COMPLETELY useless and are actively gamed by clever devs to reduce workload and reduce output expectations. I always nudge fellow devs to overestimate the tickets I will be working on by overstating the complexity and risks, sometimes I prime them with higher numbers, etc.
Yeah, but they choose a time and place where split-second reactions aren't critical and don't trust the child at all.
If it actually is CSAM, I wonder if notifying the authorities that Discord isn't removing it would do anything?
All bitcoin is "unbacked". There's no intrinsically useful asset behind bitcoin. Your private key is just a bundle of bits. Bits are so abundant as to be worthless.
Arguing NATO didn't expand into the Baltic states is semantics, at best. Sure the countries have to apply to join but the current NATO members have to acquiesce. Even with this relationship the US can (and has) communicated policy prior to expansion. The act of expnasion itself is evidene of US policy since the US could veto it fif it was something it didn't want.

My suspicion is you're viewing the US as a benign hegemony. The problem with this thinking is it makes it harder to see things from the other side, namely that another foreign power might reasonably perceive "benign" actions as hotile.

This is especially true of NATO, which was founded on the idea of screwing the USSR (quite literally). Well the USSR doesn't exist anymore yet NATO persists. Russia has to view that as aggressive especially with continued expansion. The standard response here is that NATO is a defensive alliance, which is complete BS (eg Libya, Kosovo, basing nuclear weapons capable of hitting Moscow in Turkey).

> Why do you think that these sovereign European nations actually want to be a "buffer"?

Because there are advantages to being neutral. You can't get roped into a war you didn't consent to. The great powers that border you tend to be happier with your neutrality than picking sides. Finland, Sweden, Switzerland and Ireland are all countries in Europe who have policies of neutrality. A neutral state between great powers is by definition a buffer state.

And like I said, the US does exactly the same thing. Do you think the US would idly sit by if Mexico and Canada decided to join a military alliance with China and allow China to build forward operating bases along the US border? There's absolutely no shot.

So why if the US would never allow Chinese military bases on its border should the US be surprised that Russia would have the exact same objection?

> Why do you think somebody should have a right to constrain their sovereignty?

Because joining NATO requires mutual consent. No country has a right to join if NATO declines and NATO does have a right to decline. Germany in particular has indicated they had no intention of allowing Ukraine to join NATO for pretty much exactly the reasons we're seeing now.

> With Finland joining NATO, Russia will now have 1340 km border with NATO. What Putin is going to do about that?

That's my point: this has been a massive miscalculation by Putin. But not all borders are created equal. Geography matters. A border with Ukraine is of more strategic threat than a border with Finland just because most of Ukraine is flat.

> This is precisely what they tried to do with this invasion

My sense is they trid to decapitate Ukraine's leadership and pave the way for a pro-Russian regime. This was a massive miscalculation. TListen to anyone who knows anything about the military and you'll find estimates that Russia would probably need over 400,000 soldiers to occupy Ukraine. They don't have that. They couldn't afford it if they did.
You really don't need to explain why; it's enough to observe that people do it.
Ruble is a weak indicator as the central bank has tools to control the exchange rate. Soviet ruble also had a strong and, for a long time, quite stable exchange rate with the US dollar. However, in Soviet Union you could not legally own foreign currency (nor you could buy Western goods and services). The exchange rate by no means indicated the economic situation in the USSR.

Jet.jl is far from a solution. Over short or long JuliaComputing (or someone else) will have to pay people full time to develop such tools if it wants to see larger adoption. Nobody expects Julia to be system language a language you write an OS in). The later those tools come the more code will need to be fixed up.
Bitcoin is garbage algorand is ok. Go away with your preaching
Is it merely impractical though? In the thought experiement the demon needs to be able to know the state of the impending particle before it arrives, so it can decide whether to open the door. It can't do that without interacting with them and changing their state.
> BTC supply is capped. It's not.

Yes, it is. They are not introducing BTC into circulation. This is verifiable via the blockchain.

Banks creating IOU's or derivatives or whatever other abstraction they can come up with never generates new BTC. You'd hope that people foolish enough to work with such financial institutions would know the risk of possessing nothing but an instrument created by the bank. If you're unwilling to take custody of your own bitcoin, you better damn well do some good research on third party custodians.

Humans crash cars because humans make stupid human mistakes.

A computer doesn't "forget" to look before merging. A computer doesn't drive drunk, fall asleep, get road rage, or get distracted by a phone. A computer can see in all directions at once with enough sensors.

I 100% believe that a vision-only self-driving system CAN work...but that radar/lidar providing extra signal would make it a lot easier to implement, especially at night when oncoming headlights can be blinding.
Newsom is best friends with marathon’s biggest lobbyist. They were caught dining at the French laundry, in what should be seen as a case of illegal lobbying. This immediately after imposing a statewide lockdown. Nobody cared.

In California, climate and the environment is a giant non-issue because the voter will vote the same, no matter what. Therefore everything boils down to behind the scenes horse-trading amongst the various lobbies. There is no viable Green Party in the state. Why?
Ruby is one of the greatest programming languages alive. It is nice to see Shopify pushing it!
Hmm, the view of the screen isn't clear enough to tell when exactly the car appears. An eerily familiar problem, lol. But that's kind of beside the point. Here's a screengrab of slightly sooner, at 8:05.

The car made a plan to cut across the yellows and then continue straight down the opposing lane. It shouldn't do that whether or not it sees traffic up ahead.
Yeah because humans got it wrong. Really the word for "first" should correspond to the number 0.

Try doing a block iteration over an array, or any kind of interval algorithms in 0-based and 1-based. 0-based with right-open intervals just results in way way more elegant, easier to understand and (very) slightly more efficient code.
I hear that your intention is share your hard-won wisdom, but what is shared has to actually be received—otherwise no actual sharing has occurred. You have to complete the pass.

For people to receive your wisdom, you need to go about sharing it in a different way. Arguing culture-war points is guaranteed only to excite anger and the opposite culture-war points in others. Zero sharing occurs when that happens.

On one hand, sure. That can be indicative of reality. On the other hand, look at the times we live in. I would hesitate to just point at evidence on TikTok and call it a day.

That was someone else: Patrick Kidger is mentioned in the article. If I look at the author's github, it's go and javascript.
The safe minimum dose for exposure with absolutely guaranteed non-infection is zero virions and the theoretical maximum duration a virion can stay infective is basically infinite, just with an infinitesimally small chance. It's more like a half-life than like a TTL counter.

It's not impossible to get infected from someone a hundred miles away, just very, very unlikely. Early variations were sufficiently unlikely to successfully take root in a new host from small exposures to make it quite easy to push that R value below one, but omicron pushes the threshold for "good enough" far out.

I didn't say all.

What I'm saying is the overall death rate can decline while the risk for each individual remains the same, because there are fewer people in the high risk category.
For it to silently fail of course though, he would have had to explicitly used the OffsetArrays package and explicitly switched all `Array`s to `OffsetArray`s (which hopefully you would notice) -- and then you would have to go ahead and use those OffsetArrays in a package which doesn't support them; if you just go ahead use 0 as an index in plain Julia code it will error as you would expect.

Dang is actually a General AI robot built by sama as a hobby.

I kid, he's actually just a really great person who cares deeply about HN and it's community. And also one of the nice things about HN is that it's not trying to make money, so WE are actually the customers.
I think Keno's comment above pretty much articulates my thoughts as well. I have met Yuri on several occasions and have been thrilled to see his contributions. I find the post constructive and it will certainly help make Julia better, and hope Yuri will be back at a later date.

Some of the issues linked are JuliaStats issues, and there's a lot happening to improve it, which should become more visible over the next few months. Example: https://discourse.julialang.org/t/pushing-julia-statistics-d...

Julia really pushes on language and compiler design in ways many statically typed languages do not. There is real wok to be done at the frontiers, and also investment in tooling built on top of that. It is all happening. The package ecosystem takes time to mature - Julia has a deliberate release process, the key packages have adopted a more deliberate release process, but stuff out in the long tail naturally tends to move fast - as it should.
Wordpress isn't database agnostic by default? That seems strange to me!
> Looks scary for sure. But the driver had the time to say "woa woa woa" before even starting to intervene, he knew the system was exhibiting erratic behavior. Had he acted appropriately this would never have been an issue.

From the video, there appears to be about 3-4 secs between it behaving fairly normally and it turning into oncoming traffic. To me that says the driver supervising the car has to be extremely attentive which is a pretty spicy place to be.

I think for me the underlying point is that a system where the backup is "random human ready to take over at any point with <5secs notice" just doesn't seem very safe or ready for general consumption.
Yes, I agree, and that is a good comparison, and a lot to learn from that era of computing. One of the areas we are exploring is building native e-ink applications.

Same. I've also stopped letting it make decisions about lane changes on highways, so it's basically just an advanced cruise control for me.

Once the novelty wears off (both in the case of highway and more recently surface street beta), I ultimately want to use self-driving to remove cognitive load and provide a safer experience. The vehicle does a good job at keeping lanes at a relatively steady speed (note not great, phantom breaking is still a thing and it brakes/accelerates too fast still), but too often makes poor decisions which ends up increasing the amount of attention I have to pay, thus defeating the purpose. On some highways I frequent I can't even turn on auto-navigate at all, even w/ auto-lane change turned off, b/c for some bizarre reason it thinks it needs to get to the far left of a 16 lane highway to follow the route so it keeps bugging me even after I reject it (so again, just more of an annoyance). I pretty much only turn it on on surface streets when showing someone new in the car w/ me or driving on a long straight 2 lane backroad (which it does probably best of all).

Personally I'm not as up in arms about Tesla being reckless as everyone else, I think they make it pretty clear you need to supervise the car thoroughly. But for me it's just not really even close to the level it would need to be to provide the convenience L4/L5 would.
I don't live in Europe, but it seems to me that "euros" is correct however since I've heard so many non-native English speakers say "euro" as the plural, it doesn't sound that odd to me anymore. For abstract sums ("that will cost many euros") I think "euro" sounds outright wrong though.

In Serbian, they are pluralised like a normal noun ("jedan euro" "pet evra").
Yeah. You're probably right. We're collectively a little on edge right now about the term "grooming", thanks to the astronomical rise of right-wingers using it to describe all trans people and their occasional hobby of, y'know, existing in society while being trans.
Same with paper fiat currency.
It’s not up to the moderators. It’s likely because you made a fairly baseless accusation about people who prefer GPL.
At scale? For most of our existence, we haven't been at scale - or at least, not at what we today would consider "at scale".

Does that matter? I think it may. I think that you plausibly may not be able to scale socialism above some multiple of Dunbar's Number.
> But I'm just very conservatives in my predictions

Which were ultimately based on what exactly? See, TA in this space is the demarcation of those who know exactly nothing, but feel the need to contribute their misinformed opinion: short of being a whale who can make the market move (Bearwhale) I doubt you really have anything of substance to base your opinion.

And even then it's literally impossible to call a high, I've been in this for over 10 years and the 'price discovery' mechanism is really just not there. And most of the innovative stuff happens during times when the price is low.

Consider two things: Mining/Hashing power is at ATH, and we just 2x the amount of nations who have adopted its a national currency--with more expressing interest and are meeting with the President of El Salvador as we speak.

And yet we are sub 30k... again, I think no one knows anything about what the price will do, but that doesn't stop people for relying on conjecture to explain x, y, z event in this space.

Tether was a joke, and Luna was a scam... what this has to do with BTC is entirely lost on anyone with any semblance of knowledge: they dumped BTC, sure, but that is like conflating what Pellaton's stock price drop means for Apple's long term viability.
> I also don't care that much whether the proprietary firmware is stored on on-board flash and programmed from the factory or if it's uploaded by my OS when the driver is loaded.

Bingo!

Nobody cares about firmware, that's not the issue, never was... but somehow that became the narrative repeated by people who don't know what they are talking about.

Many firmware loading drivers have caused drama over the years. I'm not sure if anybody remembers when Pottering and Sievers re-worked udev to change the ordering of how firmware was loaded from user-space, trying to improve how computers booted, by graphing firmware loads, determining the loading ordering, etc... which sometimes need to happen before it's kernel driver loads, or sometimes the driver itself is able to load the firmware, or the driver begin lazy, expects udev to load the firmware after the kmod is loaded... As a result, the kernel loads firmwares itself.

I'd say the whole firmware thing needs to be put under review, with concrete rules how they are loaded, and what their interfaces has to look like, and what hardware abstraction rules actually apply.
Yeah I was just curious and was on a phone so couldn’t dig deeper.

It's always seemed to me that IP laws state you can not copy copyright material and use it (outside of a few specific fair use cases), unless you have permission from the person who owns the copyright.

I don't see why the Linux kernel is any more or less covered by that than say the Windows kernel or Avengers Endgame

Now I can see arguments about whether loading such code into memory is "copying" it or "using" it, but I think everyone agrees that you can't take 30 minutes of avengers, or half the windows or linux code, and incorporate it into your product, unless you have permission of the person who owns the copyright.

The GPL is an offer to allow you to do things with the copyrighted code if you maintain certain specific. You don't have to accept that, you're then just covered under copyright (no copying, reproducing small amounts for review or critique is fine, selling it to someone else is fine, etc)

Arguably you could use it even if that involves transitory copying of the code into memory, arguably you can modify that code to yourself as long as you don't copy it (presumably that means you have to accept that "to copy" doesn't mean loading it into memory, or even moving it from one disk sector to another, etc)

But the principles of copyright law and how various microsoft, gnu, linux, and disney licenses can apply to give you more rights has always been clear to me.

However what's interesting in this case, and what I would agree isn't clear, is the person bringing the case isn't the copyright owner though. If someone sells you stolen goods, can you sue them?

> In this case, Software Freedom Conservancy hopes to demonstrate that it's not just the copyright holders, but also the receivers of the licensed code who are entitled to rights.
