If, god forbid, I ever have to buy a newer car the first thing I will be doing is yanking the damn cellular modem out of it. It's my car - not one I'm sharing with the manufacturer and who knows who else. With luck I'll be able to be buried with my current "dumb" vehicles.
I have not used their libraries or tools, but Miro Samek's book is great. There's a C implementation covered in it also. It's a bit of a master class in embedded C programming with careful use of structs and function pointers for "object orientation".

I have heard that Europe (and others) are promoting corruption by unholding regimes which are beneficial to businesses; the old “Banana republic” play. They might not invade to suppress communist revolutions quite as often these days, but it’s perfectly plausible that they undermine such anti-corruption efforts behind the scenes.
I suspect this is true but not necessarily for the reasons you suspect; that a person who is asking what to do is often not the type of person who does, and the second type is really what you need to get things moving.

Is this another case of caller-ID spoofing? That needs to be illegal/impossible.
Are you actually sure that would be the more ecological option?
Until threads are included in WASM its security model is essentially the browser sandbox and scope limitation (WASM modules cannot access the global object nor call arbitrary functions)

Essentially WASM can be transpiled to Javascript (or ASM.js more likely) almost line by line and it would have almost the same security.

Flash and Java applet were so dangerous because the plugins introduced a ton of new APIs that skipped the browser sandbox. Wasm introduces no new API.

For non browser environments WASM mostly brings static validation, opaque external references, and bound checking on linear memory access.

Hm, i wonder what the point is to warn them beforehand?
With your people-working-together model, modern civilization would not be possible. There would just be too much friction in a world where every interaction and every boundary must be voluntary and previously agreed upon. It would sorta work fine for sparsely populated pre-modern times, like the XIX century American West [1], which I believe is the origin source for a lot of such fantasies.

[1] Except for the fact that the West rugged self-sufficiency was only possible because the pioneers could call in cavalry to exterminate groups of people who posed a threat they couldn't handle themselves.
Are you out of timers? IIRC the STM32 series typically has timer peripherals that can be configured as encoder inputs.

True yes, i was exaggerating, but there is a pressure to accelerate the transition, and a perception by the general public and policy makers that the faster the better.

Even with the ideal EVE battery solution the environmentally optimal solution may actually be to prolong ICE use with synthetic fuels to minimise manufacturing impact while eliminating green house gas emission. I don't think as many people realise this as you may think. Minimising manufacturing and consumption is also anti-capitalistic which is an extra complication making it unpopular.

Isn't the "karma" calculated from both upvotes on your comments and your submissions? If so this could easily end up being a pretty bad metric for deciding which users leave valuable comments - a couple of front page stories will send your score through the roof.

Additionally, I think simple 1-scoring comments don't contribute to your karma - it's when they get upvoted that they count. So spamming a bunch of useless stuff won't help, and to be honest people are likely to see and start downvoting/flagging you.

It's probably not worth caring about the points you get, as long as you're not saying a bunch of abusive stuff and getting flagged or shadowbanned :D

Edit: confirmed my suspicion re "1 point" comments not adding 1 point to your karma: I was on 8700 before hitting "reply" and I'm still on 8700 immediately after.
Do you somehow imagine there’s a way to start working that doesn’t involve starting working?

I'm not defending factory meat farming, but have you looked at the ingredients in this fake-meat trash? You'll see palm oil near the top.

Palm oil is disgusting and environmentally disastrous (partly thanks to U.S. incentives that should have been rescinded years ago).

I think sheet meat has promise, but "Impossible" meat is shit meat.
My current workplace has what I consider good codebases. Good coding standards, good abstractions, reusability, and performance. It has plenty of tricky areas and bits of code that are poorly written or confusing, but that doesn't change the overall picture. If you have a large codebase that many developers worked on over many years and it's still doing a good job and able to be worked on, you're doing alright.

Your anecdote about coffee makers is a good one - it bears repeating that one of the most intensive household loads are old-school coffee percolators, etc., and many school and church kitchens have circuits just for them.

As for 20amp, it may interest you to learn that I have a commercial microwave with two magnetrons that is actually 20amp (and has the horizontal pin, etc.).
I think this is neat, but i don't honestly care what the comments of these random (to me) people are, nearly as much as I care what posts they're commenting on.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot in the last few years, and recently did a deep dive on Rust wasm.

I think it’s unlikely to be a single new language that replaces the current JS hegemony. My bet is that wasm makes it possible for any backend language to embed frontend logic, and each language will have framework(s) to take advantage of this capability in idiomatic ways.

I want to avoid specific language comparisons because they tend to veer into religious territory and shed more heat than light, but perhaps I can just note that Java, Rails, Elixir, Python and may others have great productive backend frameworks which could easily be extended to build and ship wasm to clients.

(I think the model of the new JS framework Fresh is interesting to hold as a comparison for what sort of thing you can do with unified FE/BE stack; shipping client JS only when the specific page needs interactivity is one cool feature for example. But with wasm you’re free to pick any point along the MPA - SPA spectrum.)
One of my (distant and now deceased) family members got ripped off by a business partner who fled the country, who he knew was slimy but decided to trust for some reason. Yes, it would have been good advice for him.

It's not grand knowledge unveiled by the Secret Brotherhood of Hidden Twitter Masters, it's just...normal good advice. You shouldn't go into business with crooks. People do it all the time, and it often ends poorly for them. "Eat your vegetables" and "take your car in for a service when it makes weird noises" are also good bits of advice, for the right audience.
Can you prove that, because that is not my understanding. EVs use way more CO2 in their manufacturing. Not to mention the added environmental impact of battery manufacturing and lithium mining. We can't solve climate change by buying a new car.

Edit. I'm sure Musk and Tesla are super proud of the CO2 savings their company provides, so it shouldn't be hard to find the data they are publishing showing the net cost to carbon for the entire manufacturing and life time use of their product.
A recent article[0] on HN about on-call culture called out Twilio specifically for having overworked and under compensated employees as well as the subsequent attrition those cause.

I wonder how those factors impact the likelihood that an employee might be susceptible to phishing.

Ironically this could all be happening because a lack of nukes. Ukraine gave theirs away and have been left essentially naked and defenceless since. Would Putin have thought twice if they had a nuclear arsenal? Who knows.
Two things:

> is "bicameral mind" an independent corroboration?

Fascinating as it is, Jaynes' Bicameral Mind cannot be a corroboration of anything. The book posits and theorizes, but it doesn't really show, much less demonstrate. I loved reading it, but it's more a (pseudoscientific) theory in search of confirmation, rather than confirmation itself.

> [Steiner's paragraph you quoted]

Aside from key words of ego and consciousness, why do you think it relates to Jaynes? Steiner seems to take the spiritual seriously, at least in this paragraph, but to Jaynes religion and spirituality were an hallucination, and artifact of biological processes with the brain. There were was nothing supernatural about it; there were no actual gods or higher powers involved, just a trick of the brain.

A lot of this stuff is great for when you're churning through some new features or a project you are invested in. Say for instance you have to find an issue in a legacy code base that is incorrect business logic and now you have to reproduce it, grok through tons of code, make some updates, rinse and repeat for a day or more.

Just start? stop reading HN and go read the code.

Start small? Open up my editor?

Start sloppy? Dump some printlns?

Anyway, time to go read* through some old cold fusion code I've been ignoring all morning.

There is no magic to want to work which is why you are being paid to do it or there is some form of incentive. The only advice I'd give is pay attention when you drive under bridges and overpasses and remember you're only a few bad decisions away from meeting your new neighbors, drive home and remember you get paid to tinker on a computer, then get to tinkering.
I joined a company to help modernise it as the stack was based upon ColdFusion and they struggled to find/retain developers to maintain it.

The previous developers done a great job of documenting and structuring the system in a way that made it easy for me to migrate it onto something maintainable.

If there was enough developers floating around to make it viable to maintain in ColdFusion it would still be going now and doing a great job too!
The evolution is by removing/reducing unnessesary features, not by introducing more features. It's what the evolution should be.
Depression may be the only way procrastination surfaces for you, but it’s not the only way for others.

For one example, someone who knows themselves to do certain work well under pressure and even get a thrill from it, and who has many interests that “pay rewards” available to them at any time, may choose to procrastinate on work until there’s enough pressure to trigger that special lovely “no time to waste” flow state.

There’s no depression there, no lack of reward triggers, just a priority sort and a special extra reward for working in a certain pressured mode.

But it still looks like procrastination from the outside and still raises some inner dissonance over risk management and social conformity that make people fret over it as a strategy.
It is a lot faster, has more languages and models and can run inference on even CPU with many of their models.
Biggest problem with hydrogen is the lack of refueling infrastructure. With electric, there's an electrical grid to build chargers on top of and worst case you can charge in your garage etc. With hydrogen we would need to create tons of new gas stations designed for hydrogen as well as the delivery vehicles, refineries, etc. to supply them. I've got a relative who works for Toyota (who are making significant investments in hydrogen) and he said most of their current efforts are on semi truck fleets where they only need hydrogen stations at a few locations along a pre-determined route.

My family has been through a lot of death in the last few years. We've had 6 fairly close members die since the pandemic started, accounting for ~15% of the family. Most were unexpected, some weren't. It's been real rough. So, I think I have a bit of a 'fresh' perspective on how people view death and dying.

This is going to sound strange, but you know how to die. Some of my family has been lucky enough to pass with all their marbles in a 'comfortable' place. Their deaths seemed to have taken the same paths. It's as if the body knows what is coming and knows how to do it. It's not painless, by any means, but it's predictable. Food and water refusal, organ failure, death, those kids of things. It's not panicked; your loved ones sure are, but not you.

Also, your time here on Earth is very very short. With some family, we were lucky enough to have the time to play old VHS movies of old Christmases and other holidays. (ProTip: Take more pictures and movies of people you love) But it's just amazing to see how short it all is. Our lives are a flash, a few days of a few movies, a picture book, old baseball games, memories, nothing more. But, they really can't be more.

Pain is where most of my family took the dive. They could endure and hold on for a long time. But when the pain came, that was the end of the line. Have plans for when that happens.

One family member was obsessed with life extension and health. They forbid microwaves and cell phones near them. They kinda mostly ate supplements and nootropics and kale. They ran miles everyday. Lots of podcasts on life extension. Maybe they had a premonition, but cancer took them pretty quick and pretty young for nowadays. Again, life is short, eat the fries, or not. Just don't worry about death so much that you don't live and love.

You're remembered by your loved ones. One family member was very well regarded in their field. Lots of people came by to say their goodbyes. You may know a few of them as minor intellectual-ish celebrities. Now that they died, those people will talk to us and try to remember and commiserate. It's stunning to see how little they knew of them. You may have good work friends, but your true loved ones know you much better. Fortunately, you can have as many true loved ones as you'd like.

Get a death-doula. For those family members that passed in 'comfort', it was anything but. Your family has to take over your bodily functions for a lot longer than you'd think. And you are very heavy as nearly-dead weight. Just keeping your urine away from your skin and not making more open sores is really time consuming and difficult, let alone fecal matter, bed sores, etc. Sure, hospice says that they'll be by daily, but the realities of the staffing shortage can't be avoided these days. Pay someone to help out your family in helping you.

I know this is super jumbled and doesn't read well. Sorry about that.

If in the next five years electric battery vehicles become a very big pain, then I suspect you will hear about fuel cell cars ... or whatever the perceived pragmatic replacement is.

That we don't hear about hydrogen fuel cell vehicles actually suggests to me that they are not a viable option.

I presume, stupidly perhaps, that there are bigger thinkers than me (or certainly people in positions that have a lot more to lose or gain in this field) that have already counted the beans and still see the electric (battery) vehicles as the current future path of least resistance.

At the very least, swapping batteries for fuel cells seems to be a fundamentally simpler step than swapping ICE for electric. Going to electric cars generally, regardless of the source of power is a big move for the auto industry.

So what exactly was breached related to customers....

Even in the Techcrunch article, they have not specified anything.
Are these customers other businesses or regular users using Twilio apps like Authy?

If the 'hackers' got too deep into the systems they might create a big mess. Authy 2fa tokens are backed up on Twilio servers (opt-in) unlike Aegis/andOTP. If you lose access to your offline 2fa tokens (phone stolen/lost), Authy can re-send these token from their servers. Users need to wait 24-48 hours for the whole recovery process to be over.

The grey markets are intersecting with the parallel economies which are intersecting with the religious fringes.

Rust has no explicit goal to introduce magic - instead the goal is to be safe and sound. I'd argue the code very often compiles to what one might expect it to compile to, its certainly better than C++ when it comes to magic in terms of how useful and transparent said magic is.
The problem that we should be talking about is the exact opposite.
Most aren't, we basically figured out a fair bit of security in the 90s (barring increasing of computational power, which really has just required increasing the number of bits). It's almost always been implementation problems.
Seems to me that genetic determinism doesn’t have to be “right” or “wrong”, but rather a sometimes-useful model that we other times do not allow to colour our views. I.e. we have weight classes and gender divides for sporting events (genetic determinism), but each person who meets a minimum threshold of competence (e.g. not in prison) gets an equal democratic vote.
To be honest, even in pure math this approach ought to be taken. I love math too. But it's not really a very good pedagogical approach even in pure math to start out with a full week of unmotivated definitions.

I have no issue with the problems being posed being very abstract at a suitable level for the student. By the time you hit college, I have no issues with a professor introducing group theory with "Hey, look at this aspect of graph theory, and this aspect of topology, and this aspect of algebra... what commonalities do you think we could abstract from them?" But that's a way better introduction even at that level than "Let's spend 90 minutes giving unmotivated definitions and hoping you pick up the pieces later."

In a conventional school setting I expect the problems to be more concrete, by their nature. I can give another example myself: Taylor polynomials. In my opinion, they're one of the more important things to learn at that level. You can give the students a simple problem: "Having learned sin, cos, and tan, and by this point memorized some of the common values, please develop a procedure for taking an arbitrary sin/cos/tan of an angle." Give them some time to chew on it. They may even come up with some modestly clever things, maybe cover some more special cases or something. But then you can go into how we only "really" know how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide, and here's a tool that allows you to take a wide variety of functions that up to this point only existed in calculus and as magic buttons on your calculator, and turns them into problems we can do with real pencils on real paper using real human brains that do not come with a "sin" button. (And then, heh, be grateful you live in the 21st century and you don't actually have to.)

That's now how I learned them. I learned them as just "Here's some Taylor polynomials. Do these homework problems." And I did. I learned them, and could do the math. It wasn't until years later in my computer hardware class that I realized this is what was motivating them. (Not the literal hardware, because of course Taylor polynomials greatly predate that, but the need to be able to calculate these things prior to computers.) And I'm not saying "oh, that's what they are"; math very often has the characteristic that something is discovered for reason X but then has both mathematical and practical applications well beyond it. My point here is that my understanding of Taylor polynomials is now much richer than what I got in the class I learned them in... but there was no reason for that insight to be delayed and almost coincidentally obtained. It could easily have been conveyed via a different teaching method.

This feels like a significantly important assumption to truly prove out with target customers before relying on this assumption to build a product or business.

No no... this does look like a proper downward dog, but no way you could do that!
