>>sanctions on Russia were colossally stupid

Only in the sense that they weren't harsh enough, yes. They are stupid in how many areas they haven't tackled yet.
Was kind of hoping this would be an impressions post about its accuracy after some use but still glad to more awareness raised.
Europe is going to be ruined by this conflict. Most people (understandably) focus on gas price in residential heating terms, but the real damage will be to European (especially German) manufacturing and the costs that now need to go up throughout the supply chain now that Russian gas supply is restricted.

Any widget made in Europe - already losing in cost competition with East Asia - will now become even more expensive to make. It takes circa 10 years for nuclear reactor from plan-to-grid, and that is on the basis *with& the available workforce to do it, which of course Europe doesn't have any more.

Mass purchase of the Hualong One reactor might be a solution if the Chinese can make them fast enough. Either that, or dig up some more coal and burn that for the next decade or two, so goodbye climate change goals. It's an absolute mess, pain has started to percolate now, but will reverberate for years
Does it scale correctly on windows yet? Is that part of QT6?
Is there a reason to believe that this was done on purpose and not because of stupidity? High energy prices stimulate transition to the green energy, and there are literally $trillions to be made there.
That video was 9 years ago, I wonder if the standards have been updated since then.
I’ve suspected this. There was always some seed corn of this type at MIT, even in the old days. I got SB, 1968-72. Hacker was a new word, and nerd was often spelled with a “u.” It would have been unthinkable to try to prosecute Jonathan Swartz then.
it's useful that he bases his analyses on demographic trends , but linearly extrapolating into the future is not a good way to predict. People are adaptable , and nonlinear. The current year is already interesting and i believe no-one will foresee the adaptations of the next 10 years
> pull out of any deal as soon as it thinks it can afford to ’renegotiate’.

I think that’s called a “free market”. Also one of the ideals that parent poster mentions.

I don’t think Gasprom, to my knowledge, is breaking any legal contractual obligations.
Another poor jab from the guardian.

Newspapers, television, even orators in the public foro have long allowed the wealthy to manipulate democracy.

Democracy has never been a perfect tool because people are gullible and fallible. But it's more convenient for politicians to decry the sins of their enemies than to admit their powers should be largely reduced or stripped away entirely.

Criticising a tool because it allow your enemies to speak is peak society polarisation; not long left before our empire will come down crumbling
With that formulation, you seem to be considering short-term interests only. (Apart from hints of seeing practical interests only.)
Part of the problem is that we don't act as a species.

We act as a bunch of individuals, each responding to the incentives which are put before us.

You'll never get people to stop doing something if it is easy and profitable.
Slightly related, but I quite like Tron Legacy (plus its styling and soundtrack). It's tame enough that you can watch with your kids. I've watched it with my young son, along with Interstellar and Inception, as things that encourage creatively think outside what we understand to be possible - even if just to have him thinking about story/game/play angles. Digital or dream worlds, time dilating/bending, etc.
It's not novel to claim that the possibility of men going full Genghis Khan might result in greater trait-variability for men and explain the Lek paradox and so forth.

The paper seems to distance itself from Bateman's principle but I can't figure how it meaningfully differs besides being framed very weirdly.
There's a (vicious?) feedback spiral at work here too. Most of the policies, bills etc., are authored by back office workers who are either themselves academics or are heavily influenced by them. Same with lobbyists. Academics (primarily economists) are also at work to produce all those white papers, op-ed articles that shape public opinion.

Academics pays less compared to industry (tech, finance etc.,) so it's mostly those with elite backgrounds with big inheritance wealth who can afford to spend a long time in academia in return for a chance to keep elite's hold in the government.
I’ll go one better than that. I’ve never installed TikTok, nor have I checked out someone else’s phone with TikTok one it. I couldn’t tell you what the UI looks like even if you put a gun to my head.

So no, we’re all not on there checking out soft porn.
Scientists design contraceptives to limit grey squirrels in the UK
Cherry picking what? The op was about Laos, I talked about Laos. Debt trap meme / lie has been debunked by many academics, it's a myth. PRC refinances / renegotiate. It would be really nice for PRC security posture if they actually siezed these ports to build naval bases to gain foothold in indopac, but so far overriding geopolitical interest has been commercial / economic and for a intiative as large as BROR, some of them do poorly. It's the price of exporting massive infra projects around the world to find new markets for domestic overcapacity.

The problem is Y is more uniform but X is not. Good drivers make significantly fewer mistakes than the average. For these people, using software potentially increases risk by order of magnitudes.
I agree, but it's not clear from the article if the paper is even wrong.

As I understand it there's robust evidence in support of the hypothesis itself (GMVH), and this paper was an attempt to model how the effect could come about.

It looks to me more like it was retracted for being distasteful to the journal editor's wife.
By 1998, Commodore was ancient history. So the answer was already no.

> the real damage will be to European (especially German) manufacturing

German and Italian.
Sure, comrade.
I fully agree.

The sanctions must be taken back, Ukraine must be divided and de-militarized, relationship with Russia and China MUST be improved. All this as long as we can.

Unfortuntatly, we only have trash politians in Germany.

Once there are demonstrations against this shit system, I will join. For the first time in my life. I am sick and tired of this system that knows it better and just hurts us. No thanks.
It is important to note that schools teach mannerisms and expectation.

The undergrad curriculum in Physics at MIT and a good state school are hardly dissimilar.
> Oxford / Cambridge are also very "exclusive" in the worst way possible

I went there, and I didn't see anything but ordinary people. Something like Classics will naturally skew towards secondary schools that have a Latin class, but apart from that admissions are close to a dice roll among qualified kids. Certainly the impression I got was that dons were jealously guarding their right to decide, on their own, who would get in.

The place was non-elite enough that I never even realized the Bullingdon Club was a thing until after I left.

As you might expect though, a fairly large proportion of kids came from wealthy backgrounds. Private schools that cost way more than university tuition, that kind of thing.
I have a similar route. For me I had a tiny Carry-I PC 8088 that I still regret selling to this day.

I have great nostalgia for its twin 3.5” floppy drives, Microsoft mouse (Windows 2) and orange monochrome display.

Man I wish I’d bought an Amiga at the time though. With hindsight PCs were so crap back then, even if the limitations were fun.
The solution is incorrect. If P(probability of existence of loop of length L) = 1/L, then P(1) = 1, which can be proven false by the existence of arrangements without loops of length 1.

e.g for N=4:

4,3,2,1

He's making at least one false conclusion around 8:30.
Most of them are. But that's not the only criterium: Amazon for example is in the business of exploiting people by employing them directly under such poor conditions that the implict assumption is that few will stay for 2 years.
There was an annoying news article wondering how people figured how to safely prepare poisonous food. It is actually quite simple. A lot of people can taste/smell the cyanide and making cassava taste good is also what makes it safe to eat. It is not like cassava is an instant death sentence if you eat it raw.
Not sure if related, but a few months ago there was a massive explosion at one of the terminals, I think. Wouldn’t be surprised if this was a sabotage operation.
They will write absolute fiction and publish it as fact.

For instance, they prepared two articles for the outcome of a high profile murder case, one for each verdict. Then they published the wrong one temporarily when the verdict was announced. Anybody can make a mistake though, right? Well, in this case, the wrong article included quotes about the guilty verdict (that didn’t happen) and detailed descriptions of how people reacted to the verdict. These were all completely made up before the verdict had even been announced.

great to see protectionism back in policy - the free market ideology was useful when it comes to opening up foreign markets for US corporate profit, but always a bad idea for national security. Ideal case: we maintain the rhetoric for others, but change in practice for ourselves
Is this the same one from the other day? As I understood it there wasn't any talk of autopilot being involved, beyond the obvious involvement of a Tesla? e.g. at the present time is there anything beyond brand that distinguishes this crash from someone crashing a ford or some such?
If you consider that owning it then you must not have a problem with Assassin's Creed servers going offline. You are saying you own it even with restrictions. If you accept limited ownership of software then you don't get to decide on those limits as a consumer. There are other examples of limited ownership (eg. animals), so I'm not going to try to dispute the terminology. I personally don't consider the idea of limited ownership of being of much use when dealing with copyright abuse.
> sanctions on Russia were colossally stupid

Declaring war to Hitler over invading Poland was colossally stupid.

No, relying on oil and natural gas was stupid.

We had so many warnings -- Moldova, Chechnya, Georgia, Ukraine in 2014 and Ukraine now -- the only explanation possible is that Merkel and her cronies are russian agents.

Ask HN: Share Your Best IDE Experience
Let me to start: best experience I had while coding is using Vim. Well, this is a text editor, not an IDE. I can touchtype so an editor which main goal is to make fast typing the fastest is a life-changing. But what about real IDEs of your favorite PL, what great things can be done within?
Sounds interesting, I'll check it out thanks
> simply taking decisions against their citizens best interests

What decision do you have in mind?

Throwing nuclear out the window and becoming so dependent on Russian gas? Not predicting Russian Imperial dreams of ruling the Europe?

OR

Trying to curb Russia during the war the best they can.

Because we need not to forget that Europe is at war. It is Ukrainians who are doing all the fighting ATM but all the western world is very much involved.
The API is the tip of the topological order of interfaces provided by the platform. For example, .NET would NOT be Windows' API because .NET depends on WIN32 (or even more appropriately, NTDLL) which makes .NET important but non-essential. It doesn't make sense to define "the API" as including all the layers of turtles that wrap the canonical one. Just like we wouldn't say that the UNIX userspace utilities like cp/mv/ls are "THE unix API" because those tools all depend on the system calls.

On UNIX the system call interface is THE api for the UNIX operating system, and it IS what people commonly refer to as the C API. It's just a more formal definition of the C API and it is defined by the Open Group. It's abstract and language agnostic because it's provided by well-understood and widely encoded binary interfaces which have been defined to nearly exactly model the abstract so-called C definition. Therefore when we say "C API" we aren't necessarily including things like all the manipulations possible in an implementation intended only for a single language like C, e.g. glibc header files or a thunk that irons out some weird piece of legacy assembly technical debt like 386BSD's affinity for the carry flag. Because unless kernels are willing to implement the same degree of SYSCALL instruction fascism that Microsoft implements with NT then no UNIX vendor really has the right to make that claim that the ordinals they copied from the System V codebase. So people who think that "system Libc" and "system API" are the same thing are generally missing the forest for the trees. Dynamic shared objects are stupid and they aren't systems. A libc is just a tool for interfacing with real system apis.
Wow, that's like a Marvel Superhero Submarine. Big! Badass! I wonder if's going to be useful for something.
Could you explain what this "the right to protect your data" is supposed to mean?

The US has always allowed a government to get a warrant to search personal records, including the ability to execute that warrant quickly, to prevent someone from destroying those records.

Companies should and do get into legal trouble for destroying records which are required for legal, regulatory, or lawsuit discovery purposes.

I don't think you rank corporate records higher than personal ones.

So I don't understand the moral ambiguity here.
did Italy ever have nuke industry btw?

>>and entering the war against Russia is because we believe that Russian values are WRONG and only our values are RIGHT.

I genuinely believe HN is being inflitrated by Russian bots left and right(or, alternatively, that people who live far far away from the conflict somehow feel compelled to voice their opinion).

My family is housing multiple Ukrainian families of refugees - the stories of their close ones, their towns and homes being blown to pieces by Russians, of having to search for your dead relatives on empty streets, of mourning your children killed in the strikes - that's the reality. It's not about ideals or agreeing with or disagreeing with Russia.

>>Those who say "this is not my war" (me and millions and millions and millions of other Germans) should get the good, clean, warm gas from Russia.

I literally can't explain how angry your statement makes me. I think in the last century you'd happily support a certain German regime as long it made sure your house was warm in winter, right? After all, all you need to do is say "it's not my war" and suddenly any moral questions don't apply any more, right?
Yep, same here. That's what i like about OmniFocus, it's fully e2e encrypted and can optionally be self hosted too.

An article from 2018 [1] attempted an even stricter apples-to-apples comparison. The author’s estimates of fatality rates for Autopilot-driven Teslas vs. human-driven Teslas suggested that Autopilot was more deadly than human drivers but still the same order-of-magnitude.

The author also called Musk’s comparison of Autopilot’s fatality rate to NHTSA’s fatality rate an “apples-to-aardvarks” comparison because NHTSA’s statistic includes bicycles, pedestrians, motorcycles, and buses.

>I'd still like to see a deaths by people driving normal cars/normal cars on the road vs. deaths in automatic cars/automatic cars on the road, by the hour on the road

This is not enough, you will need to also make sure you consider:

- type of car , what safety systems have (maybe compared with a car with intelligent safety system the stats will look completly different, maybe even worse for Tesla)

- age of the car, probably will correlate a lot with the above,

- the road , we know Tesla will fail to drive on hard road section so would be fair to make comparisons on the same easy roads sections.

- IMPORTANT: you need to count the cases where a Tesla human driver intervene and saved the day, this incidents won't appear as crashes but they would have been crashes if the human was not there, you would need to ask Elon to be transparent with the publish and publish this, from what we see in YouTube videos the human driver had to intervene a few times in an hour to save the situation from critical situations

- optionally produce a statistic where you exclude drunk drivers, people on phone, people that got asleep , this cases could be fixed with cheaper tech so I would be curious if the cheaper tech would be safer but is just not sexy enough (or in fact as I suspect self driving is not about more safety and just having a private driver, the safety is just an inconvenient
, without it Elon would have removed the Beta label from the FSD
EU has definitely decided not to import. Since Nordstream 2 is fully ready. And it’s even filled with gas to the brim. But EU won’t approve it for political reasons. Mostly because the US had meddled with it to gain an advantage and provide their own expensive gas via shipping tankers.

> Ukraine must be divided and de-militarized

Ukraine first, then Poland then the baltics, then all the way to Berlin, and when we're there, all the way to the Atlantic ocean.

Russian shills, do you think we're that stupid?

Russia must be split.

During the Soviet times, the main enemy of the Soviet State was their own people which could revolt.

The russian people today are sadly 90% behind Putin with his ruscism because of the effective propaganda -- today, the only real enemy of Russia is Reality and Truth itself and that's what Russia is really fighting. The only way to postpone reality & truth from emerging is perpetual war.

Russia must be stopped in Ukraine in order for the reality of things to take hold in Russia and for Russia to be rebuilt on sane values.
>Ukraine must be divided and de-militarized

Are you Ukranian?

That is odd! The search bar of mwmbl has the same properties as kagi's. Perhaps you're right, and Mozilla does limit which sites get the treatment.
The only reason it hasn't been updated is because the trucking industry has fought it tooth and nail.

They want to use public infrastructure but can't "contribute" back by at least making their trucks not insanely deadly to everyone else. Those videos show a 35mph crash is basically a recipe for decapitating front passengers of a sedan.

The distain truckers and the trucking industry have for the general public is disgusting. I've seen lots of trucks with giant spiked lugnuts - the only purpose of which is to shred the side of a passenger car if the trucker makes contact with said car. Literally weaponizing their vehicles.
I use Airbnb experiences on almost every trip to a new place, even when I’m not renting an Airbnb there, so not sure it failed.
> You were often left twiddling your thumbs wondering if a car will actually show up.

They always showed up for me. And I have no idea what city/country you think it didn't. I feel like this is just Uber PR.

> Why not start your own competitor then?

Because the network effects of drivers and network effects of riders. It would cost a lot of money to compete with that. Also, to deal with a lot of other backend issues that have nothing to do with the app itself - like making sure the driver's cars are in good repair, commercial insurance, etc.

The actual app itself is much easier compared to the business side of things. If someone wants to do the business side, I'll spearhead the app development.

> Have you ever even used the Uber app?

Yes. Also, I never said it was trivial to create a clone of the Uber app. I said things worked fine before there was a complex app and would work okay with a simpler app. Because the complaint I was responding to wasn't feature parity, it was bugginess. But lets go through your points.

>that show you exactly where the car is

Uber actually has admitted that the majority of the cars you see on your screen are simulated to give you a feeling for how many cars are in the area.

Or do you mean once a driver is assigned, in which case I don't know the point of it. I can just look at the ETA.

> with accurate ETAs

Now who never used the Uber app. Their ETAs are wildly inaccurate.

> integrated payment

That you have to check and dispute in case the bill you for drivers cancelling on you, and a variety of other things hooked directly to your card. I'd much rather pay people what I owe them in a one-off transaction.

> safety features

I've never seen them in action, but I'm glad they're building them.
