I'm not saying it's good!

But it isn't illegal. The closest thing is that imports of nicotine vape products has been banned[1].

But you can still get them with a prescription and - more importantly - vaping itself is still legal with non-nicotine products. For example [2] is a story about how sweet flavored vapes are popular with schoolkids.

> It's one of the things that doesn't make sense anymore, like cars with manual transmission.

Smart TVs don't make sense when televisions both have inputs, and there exist multiple off the shelf solutions like chromecast, appletv, roku, etc. (I'm lame, I just use an Intel NUC with a full operating system.) Smart TVs are TV/VCR combos at best, and at worst a vector for your network to be attacked after the company moves on from updating them (or existing.)
Yeah, I have a project with about this much data, and literally read the whole file into memory, and rewrite the whole file on disk every time I need to modify it. It's hilarious that it works.
They could turn this around if they gave up on the futurologist software bullshit and strived to simply sell battery-powered cars. Stop selling dreams of robotaxis, just sell cars.
That sounds like a smart TV, or at least what one should be. Like an actually well made, non buggy, secure smart TV.
Vaping is still legal. It's just illegal to import nicotine based vapes.
My panasonic non-android (something based on firefox-os I think) has a setting to not load related online-data when switch to a channel until explicity pushing a button to do so. That option was added in the most recent update.

However, it also has some built-in netflix/prime/youtube/... apps. And I have seen at least some network traffic that seemed realated to those, even though I never started them. Maybe just loading updates, maybe leaking data. I don't know. I didn't check since the last update though.

It's not perfect, but seems much less bad than most others.
Highly recommend 3blue1brown's essence of linear algebra playlist as a supplement to anything you do. I "knew" linear before watching this playlist, now I know it.

Thank you especially for linking the Augmenting Long-Term Memory post. I'm just on the part going through the author's usage of Anki and it has already inspired me to download the client and try it myself as well. I don't think I'll put nearly as many things in it as the author says he does, but it sounds like it can be an incredible tool for whatever we find worth remembering.

Update: After reading the API section of this post, I found this very last part interesting in the context of OP's question[0]. I thought it may be worth highlighting to the OP that even a heavy user of a memory system recognizes that knowledge we don't regularly use may not be worth remembering.

[0]"A more challenging partial failure mode is Ankifying what turn into orphan APIs. That is, I'll use a new API for a project, and Ankify some material from the API. Then the project finishes, and I don't immediately have another project using the same API. I then find my mind won't engage so well with the cards – there's a half-conscious thought of “why am I learning this useless stuff?” I just no longer find the cards as interesting as when I was actively using the API.

This is a difficult situation. I use the rule of thumb that if it seems likely I'm not going to use the API again, I delete the cards when they come up. But if it seems likely I'll use the API in the next year or so, I keep them in the deck. It's not a perfect solution, since I really do slightly disconnect from the cards. But it's the best compromise I've found."
10x compared to what?
Documentation task could be included as part of sprint / or task Definition of done.

In true Scrum spirit, the team that has problems with lack of documentation, should figure that out from (1) retrospective, and start (2) including that work in Sprint explicitly, and (3) to explain to business owner that without these tasks, features are gonna get delivered 3x slower.

Benefits: documentation/testing will be explicitly required as a requirement, time will be allocated and accounted for, business and stakeholders will be aligned on that.

This doesn't happen because scrum leaders never care enough about the product, but at places where they do care it is well documented and structured
No kidding!

The ability to use the phone or remote to move the car forward or back in a straight line is super useful and a cool, novel feature by itself. It’s also a buggy piece of shit that a few engineers could probably greatly improve in a month. Doesn’t seem like Tesla cares, it’s been stagnant for years.

Meanwhile Tesla is still charging people $10,000 for an FSD function that doesn’t exist.
I think my 50" Sony didn't nag me to connect it to Wifi. (I bought it to use as a computer monitor.)

I did connect it to Wifi after a few days, because sometimes I use the smart features.

One thing to consider: If you aren't looking for broadcast TV, use a computer monitor.
I know them as 'digital signage' or 'hospitality tvs' and they do work for their intended use. But they're usually a lot more expensive than their consumer counterparts? My guess is they are either heavily subsidized and/or built to be powered ON 24/7?
Paul Graham is on record that the best languages are built by people who intend to use them, not for others to use. FWIW, I agree.

The jury is out on Jai, but it’s clearly not a toy. John emphasizes important stuff: build times, SOA/AOS as a first-class primitive, cache-friendliness in both the L1i and L1d. And he makes pragmatic engineering trade offs informed by modern hardware: you can afford to over-parse a bit if your grammar isn’t insane, this helps a lot in practice on multi-core. The list goes on.

And “he made a few good games” is really dismissive. He doesn’t launch a new game every year, but his admittedly short list of projects is 100% wild commercially and critically successful. On budgets that a FAANG spends changing the color of some UI elements.

And that’s kind of the point right? Doing better work takes time, and there is in fact a lucrative market for high-quality stuff.

As for him being an asshole? He’s aspy and curt and convinced he’s right, which is a bad look on the rare occasions when he’s wrong.

But Bryan Armstrong is on the front page doubling-down on such bad treatment of his employees and shareholders that they are in public, written revolt. This may have changed since I looked, but no one is calling him an asshole.

A world in which a passionate craftsman misses on diplomacy while discussing serious technical subject matter is an asshole but a well-connected CEO revoking employment offers after people already quit their old job is “making the hard calls” is basically the opposite of everything the word “hacker” stands for.

Asshole.
Oh okay, I never had any problems with it, and I've been using it for many years.
They said the same thing about JavaScript in the 90's. If Netscape wasn't behind it... Over 25 years later, it's still going strong, even though the entire HTML/CSS/JS model of "app development" is and always was half baked.
I have an LG SmartTV that I use "offline" (watch streaming services via a Playstation connected to it).

Curiously, I've connected it once to try the bundled apps (e.g. Netflix) and the Playstation ones had much better picture quality.
This is quite misleading, as explained in https://twitter.com/BrandonLive/status/1535477873267515393.
Wobble a glass of water just the right way and you will get rogue waves from constructive interference. The problem is predicting them in the ocean.
I hit a touch bar function accidentally at least once or twice a day. It looks cool, but the functionality is garbage.
It benefits nobody to be a 10x engineer unless they are making 10x salary. In fact, once you have the job, the absolute best play is to do as little as possible and not get fired. We are businesses ourselves, don’t forget that. You work for money, and once you have the money, there is no reason to ever give more value than you are getting.

Want more money? Study for an interview and then return to your minimal effort process. Believing that you need to give more is the company winning. Treat yourself like a shrewd startup business.
Hah, I think they know exactly why.
Growth hacking is something personal to product, i wouldnt consider posting content a growth hack.

I use the Belkin one that Apple sells and have never had much issue with it. What chipset is that?
Any reason / use for all that metadata?
I think the reason people end up using it as a status report is that nobody understands what to say otherwise. I can either say only "I'm not blocked" every day like a broken record (because if I were blocked why would I wait until the next morning to say so...), or I can say, "I'm not blocked and here's what I'm up to today", which is just a status report.
> Currently there is a "mortgages must be cheaper" rule enforced by many landlords who refuse to rent out their properties for less than the mortgage.

That is traditionally how houses were priced — pre-mini depression that is.

People wrote whole articles and books trying to explain how this isn’t the case anymore, how you can lose money every month by subsiding your tenants and still come out ahead because housing prices always go up. It wasn’t even a question anymore and you were guaranteed to come out ahead because the fundamentals of the market had changed. Seriously, no way you could possibly lose money by investing in real estate.

I think we all know how that new economic theory turned out…
I am indeed here posting my original question after first trying the Manga Guide to Linear Algebra and finding it was not what I was looking for. Where I wanted visual explanation they went to textbook definitions, not helpful. A few illustrations in the book I did think were valuable so it wasn't a total loss.
Another Sony+Apple TV user here. Have had a couple of different Sony TVs, and if you keep them offline and never specifically request the smart TV UI (button on remote), they act almost indistinguishably from dumb TVs.

They also run near-stock Android TV so even if I decided to use the built in smarts, the experience probably wouldn't be too bad. They do come with a content ID daemon preinstalled, but that's easy enough to remove with a laptop connected via USB with ADB.

Additionally, Sony has been great about supporting firmware updates via USB flash drive, so you're not missing out on fixes and improvements by opting to keep it offline.

> Yet, we know with near certainty that an engineer, or even a trained repairman could fix the radio. What makes the differ- ence? I think it is the languages that these two groups use (Figure 3). Biologists summarize their results with the help of all- too-well recognizable diagrams, in which a favorite protein is placed in the middle and connected to everything else with two- way arrows. Even if a diagram makes overall sense (Figure 3A), it is usually useless for a quantitative analysis, which limits its predictive or investigative value to a very narrow range. The lan- guage used by biologists for verbal communications is not bet- ter and is not unlike that used by stock market analysts. Both are vague (e.g., “a balance between pro- and antiapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins appears to control the cell viability, and seems to correlate in the long term with the ability to form tumors”) and avoid clear predictions.

This thought-provoking essay nevertheless makes an apples-and-oranges comparison.

Let's try another experiment. Present a radio repair technician with car (ICE) that cranks but won't start. Give the technician, who has zero previous experience, no documentation or training and just watch what happens.

I'm going to guess that the technician will follow something that looks a lot like the approach used by the biologists in the essay. Disassembly. Manipulation of components in isolation. Hypothesis of function. Hypothesis validation. Rinse and repeat.

The reason the comparison doesn't work is not some variation of vitalism (the author brings up as one objection). The reason the radio technician can solve one problem (broken radio) and not the other (cranking no start) is not language or vitalism or anything else.

It's the simple fact that when faced with a broken radio, the technician uses a model that works. It reflects reality and stands up to the harshest scrutiny. The technician doesn't get that model through induction, it's handed down by those who created the system. And to be fair, the manufacturer helps by building its product to code, rather than some hazy spectrum of possible codes.

The author tries to make a case for "formal" approaches by which it seems like he's talking about mathematical approaches. But I think this misses the point.

Trying to understand a defect in an alien system poses a conundrum: science teaches us to break the system down into parts or "systems", but there are many ways to do that. Even if we hit on the right fracture points we easily lose the connections that made the whole work.
This is outrageously misleading. The autopilot will disengage when it gets extremely confused. It's likely to get extremely confused when faced with a situation of an impending collision. So if you look at a bunch of crashes, you'll find a lot where the AP quit right before. That doesn't say anything about which party was at fault, it's just the way the software is going to work.

And the other side of the argument, that somehow this was somehow intentionally done to avoid culpability in reporting, is just plain wrong per Tesla's own data. Read the methodology section at https://www.tesla.com/VehicleSafetyReport

> [...] To ensure our statistics are conservative, we count any crash in which Autopilot was deactivated within 5 seconds before impact [...]

So the "less than a second" bit is just a lie, unless there's some other report being cited that uses different methodology. Someone is spinning.
I don't know about this particular guy's opinions but usually what transphobes think is that there's no such thing as being transgender, trans men are actually women, trans women are actually men and in both cases they're either confused, misled, or, regarding trans women, predators planning to attack other women or outcompete them in sports or something like that.
Configuration files occasionally have comments. CLIs sometimes have man pages. GUIs sometimes have tooltips and often have additional help documentation. I'd say that's pretty much a wash. But GUIs can also much more easily convey complex relations between options, such as some option only taking effect when another two each have a specific value, or even simpler things there being a specific set of permitted values for an option. Sure, you can document the cli but that information is probably going to be inherently presented as part of the GUI.
By turning it into a nearly-useless system. You can only engage Mercedes' system if a number of conditions are all met:

- The route has to have been pre-mapped by Mercedes

- Only works on highways

- Only in traffic jam-like conditions, i.e. traffic moving slower than 60 kmh (37 mph)

- No construction sites (even a single orange cone left over from prior road works will mean that you can't turn on the system / it will turn off)

Under these conditions, 10 seconds doesn't sound too difficult.

I still think that this is the "saner" approach than calling your product Autopilot and letting the general public beta test it (and driving in traffic jams is annoying so I wouldn't mind using the Merc system), but overall it feels mostly like a PR move to be able to say "we have a Level 3 product on the road". I read an article where Mercedes wanted to demonstrate the system to a journalist and they had to have a second car drive in front of them to artificially create a traffic jam because otherwise it wouldn't activate.
I wonder how much of this is about not wanting to have to deal with and be ultimately responsible for the security implications of a plugin system built on top of npm packages and tooling ... It's a great editor but seriously vulnerable.
When you learn something more in depth, you are less likely to forget it.

When you learn other things adjacent to the topic at hand, but related in some way, you’re less likely to forget things as you build more and more of a frame of reference around it.

But either way, the key to remembering things for a very long time is spaced repetition. First you need to test your recall after a short period, then after a longer period, etc.

Memorization skills isn’t something you’re inherently good or bad at, or are born with: it’s a skill you can absolutely learn!

I can see this reading both ways. I'm extremely skeptical of Autopilot/FSD claims, but it all depends on interpretation. All of the currently available documentation states that Autopilot/FSD can give you a "take over immediately" warning and disengage when it has no idea what to do. It would make sense, then, that the system would detect that a crash is imminent, and have absolutely no idea what to do to avoid it, and error out, handing control back to the driver.

I think the full story on a crash is kind of required to make this conclusion. The whole point of the NHTSA investigation is to see if Tesla is massaging the data like this. It wouldn't really surprise me either way, but I'm really skeptical that Tesla would report that Autopilot wasn't engaged on a technicality when investigators will clearly turn it into a PR disaster if it's true.

I made basics bash scripts to do some simple stuffs. Scripts I use more often are:

1. A script who help me to make conventional commits name (ex: `feat(xyz): add some stuff. JIRA-ID`). It add Jira Id at the end using git branch, get scope using path of the folder and ask me the rest

2. Create a markdown file for the day as worklog. An another script create markdown file for the Jira issue that I work on and add a wikilink on the worklog

3. Read scripts in package.json and ask me what I want to execute using fzf

I try to do more and more since it's really useful and I had some fun to made them.

Enforcement of the monopolies may well be regulatory or contractual.

If a big retail chain does a deal with one company to provide a number of chargers in each of its car parks, the contract will likely prohibit the use of other providers to install more charging points.

Who ever gets in first can most likely ensure they control the vast majority of the car parks in the local area - all the major retailers and apartment complexes. They'll probably offer to install chargers for free so long as they get to bill for the power.

Once demand is high enough, they don't need a perfect monopoly, if the dominant company has a plentiful supply of chargers and the cheaper competitor only has a few and there's constant queues for them.

That's my problem with process management in software development. Things change, processes evolve, thihgs get lighter and easier. We went from bi-weekly releases to deploying a few times a day thanks to automated tests, canary releases, 1-click rollbacks etc. We went from waiting 2 weeks for the ordered servers to arrive to automated capacity management in the cloud.
And yet in the process management 10 years ago we had Scrum, and today we have Scrum. No wonder it feels heavy when things around got easier and lighter.

In the suburbs I'm about as safe as in Europe. Americans outside of big cities roll their eyes at what's "accepted" in big cities too. If you're in the cities and recoil at reading this, it doesn't have to be this way. It's not about rich/poor, developed vs developing, etc. Go experience cities in Asia/Europe where the "bad parts of town" are much smaller or even non existent, where you can walk home at 3:00AM with zero fear of being mugged or assaulted for no reason.
This is a fun tool, but it has some assumptions around IPv4.

It appears to work by responding with TXT records when given a query for A records. I have a `.digrc` file setup to query for AAAA records by default (since I mostly deal with IPv6 only networks). So I have to set the query for either A or TXT. Unfortunately, AAAA doesn't get the special treatment that A gets.

If you understand how TV used to be (before streaming), a network scan is more like you are trying to watch a program but your annoying brother has the remote and periodically cycles through all the channels to see if there is something more interesting to watch. He often does it during a commercial break but sometimes does not get back before the break ends and sometimes he just does it in the middle of a part of your program that he doesn't understand or thinks is boring.
Nothing except the dangers of terrible PR, I suppose.

Horrifying realization -

Once maximum customer penetration from WiFi is reached (not all consumers will add TVs to the network), these companies will bake in cheap cellular transceivers and contract directly with wireless carriers without any ability to opt out. They probably won't be used for actual content - just low bandwidth spying and ads.

It's what the early kindles used (called "whispernet"). Soon a lot of products may bake little radios in to spy on us.

Consumer spy tech will start to resemble cold war techniques.
