My EV does a very good job on not needing to shift gears and getting the NM on the street.

The rental car with automatic had a very annoying power drop in a critical speed range and it felt shitty.

EV will reinvent how we drive.
Banning crypto (or drugs or gambling or alcohol or whatever) is one thing. Actually enforcing that ban is another.
My understanding is that while it used to be true that manual transmissions were more efficient due to humans keeping the engine in the torque sweet spot, it's no longer true since automatics can have so many more gears than manuals. And that's not even considering something like a CVT, which I understand can be even more efficient.
When are rates going back to under 3%? That was a flash in the pan phenomena, I highly doubt that would ever happen again absent some other cataclysmic event. The current rates are more toward the contemporary average.
It's just game theory. If banning it won't kill it (and it won't in this case), then you need to embrace it or lose out. The best they can hope for is to control the on-ramps and off-ramps.
When I started driving I couldn't understand why you would want an automatic transmission. It's so simple, muscle memory. You feel the car. But then, after spending a couple of years with a car with a somewhat good automatic transmission that idea sort of faded away. It was both smoother and more reactive than I could ever dream of becoming.

Recently I switched to an EV, and now I don't understand why people would want a combustion car, let alone a manual transmission anymore. All that power, available instantaneously. You feel the car, sort of like your old manual transmission. I wonder if autonomous driving will have the same trajectory.
That may catch someone trying to just bluff their way through things and fumbles on obvious lies, but if you actually believe this kind of thing and still say "nothing" I'm guessing they'll believe.
This is just technological progress, right..?

With the centrally heated house rising, so we forgot the skill (and pleasure) to heat your house with a fire (coal, wood). We buy fully-prepared meals in the supermarket - no longer willing to go to three or four separate shops to buy the ingredients and spend time at home putting them together. Even bread-making at home has been replaced by a machine that does it for you.

Technology takes over, and there are always people that think this is a bad thing. But it's of all times and started before our ancestors decided to walk upright...
I think the best thing you can do with English books, no matter what discipline, is to let them travel abroad. I'm Ukrainian and all the science books I can buy have shitty translations. I once bought 20 used books from Amazon and spent $20 on the books, $70 on Amazon shipping, and $110 on air shipping to Ukraine. I don't know how to get English books from abroad cheaper, but at least it was worth it.

Same with USAA. This is pretty recent though.
>A manual transmission does have one upside.

It has many, many upsides. With the only true downside being the skill needed to operate.

Manual transmissions aren't going anywhere. Yes, the latest greatest $35,000 car that average Americans are buying will always be an automatic. But for trucks and cheaper cars they will always be the best choice.
This is true, but - if you buy with a lower price + higher interest rate, you can potentially refinance to a lower interest rate down the road. Nothing you can do after the fact about a high purchase price though.

Nothing's guaranteed of course, but I'd rather buy a home now than a year ago, even if the same monthly payment gets me the same house
I agree with this. The brain is very good at getting comfortable with something, automating it, and pushing attention to other more novel things

I'm in total agreement here. I learnt to drive in a manual and thus my licence says I legally can do so (in the UK you can also get an 'automatic transmission' only licence that exempts you from legally driving manual/stick-shift cars).

However, the moment I could jump to an auto, I did. It's just SO much easier. I've been driving purely autos for over 20 years now. A lot of us see cars as a way to get us faster from A to B; there's no love affair here, it's just a tool. Any tool that makes it easier for the operator to use, is an improvement in my view.

Sure, keep the manual gearbox for the track. That's where 'fun' and 'hobby' driving should be. Out on the road, it's fuel economy (be it EV or Fossil) these days that really counts, and autos are much more economic.
> Not everyone gets so lucky. Some people have to settle for a partner they can love but is not really their ideal match.

> This is where it takes work. You have to accept the fact every day this is your partner, you have to wrestle with thoughts of perhaps coming across an actual ideal partner some day. You have to learn to love your partner, and do things to make them happy, not necessarily things you want to do

If this is actually your personal experience, could you share more of it?

I've always ended up dating women who absolutely love me but who I am somewhat ambivalent to after a few weeks. Most of life already feels like work to me, was hoping a romantic relationship wouldn't. But I've thought often of throwing in the towel and settling for the next sane one even if I'm bored. Because wife + kids sounds long term better than fun uncle who ultimately dies alone.
I've personally always liked the deterministic approach more. Is there any reason you believe in an indeterministic randomness approach?
So, first, I went into pandemic prevention / mitigation and not AI risk, and I haven't been claiming here that AI risk needs more people. Compared to the median EA, I am less convinced that AI risk is where we should be putting the marginal person, though I do think it is still important and a good place for people who are well suited for it.

The main problem I see with AI risk is not that it is a small problem, or that there are too many people working on it, but that we don't really know how to make progress and historical attempts maybe have ended up making things worse.

Still, I think gradys' point above is a good one: the fraction of people working on making AI more capable is far far larger than the fraction working on making sure it reliably does what we want it to do even in unusual situations.
Why is Monero not a solution either? As far as I know, it is not public which seems to be what you complain about, right?

Surely you accept that illegal trade happens through cash and even through banks, so you will agree that there is some level at which you cannot ban an entire system.

I like to ask myself what money laundering even is and whether it makes sense and ideally it wouldn't even be illegal. Money laundering isn't the crime - it's just a convenient tool to dissuade crime. Ideally there would be no crime without violence and there is nothing but consenting individuals involved in money laundering. The crime happened before the laundering and that's what we should be preventing.

Otherwise you end up in situations like this where innocent people are going to get screwed over because they utilized a tool that criminals utilized. This isn't fair or just by any standard and I personally don't accept the collateral damage as worthy.

This doesn't even begin to touch on the vast majority of laundering that happens in fiat across international banks . That would take a while just to list all the infractions that are constantly happening, yet those entities are still not only operating in the free market, but they have federal insurance and backing.
> Why does their intent even matter?

It doesn’t. Tornado was used to launder money. That’s all that matters.

My guess is the only people in real legal jeopardy are those who kept working on it after its involvement in laundering was exposed. (I’m assuming they weren’t in on the laundering.) For GitHub, figuring out who those people are is impossible. So they’re being cautious and cutting ties more broadly.

There is a creep problem to sanctions. Some companies in Russia are banned. Suddenly everyone from Cyprus is under extra scrutiny, since you don’t want to be the dupe they used to launder their money. Tornado and its developers were those dupes. But it has been illegal to help North Koreans launder money since before Tornado was founded. It remained illegal when it became known North Korea used Tornado to launder money. Anyone going into money services knows, or is negligent in not knowing, that these laws apply to them. It’s tough to have sympathy for anyone who kept ties. Particularly when the punishment, so far, is simply ostracism.

Yes, what I've found indicates that aluminium burns when it boils, which is at 3073 °C, which doesn't happen in normal fires (house, car, forest fires), which is why it's safe in normal fires. It is melting at 660°C, at which point it doesn't burn unless perhaps if finely distributed by way of pressured air bursts or similar.

Sparks are hotter than 3073°C, but usually they don't ignite aluminium either--there not being enough aluminium vapour to sustain the reaction.

I've done what you said and googled, but have not found a case that indicates non-dust aluminium was burning.

Looks like a dust fire. Easily extinguished. Does not sound like any solid or molten aluminium was burning.

I don't think this has been observed to be true yet. At least not true within a framework of very specific theoretical rules. Otherwise all our science and logic is useless.
Anyone who has ever contributed to privacy or security technology should “have their life turned to shit” too under this logic. All the evil terorrist money launderers probably used VPNs or Tor too. Maybe they posted on HN, making you part of an internet terrorist club. Maybe they asked a question on StackOverflow that you answered. You’re waving around some acronym that the government made up 20 years ago to describe normal human activity (transacting without approval from a central authority) like it’s some deadly ancient sin.

Generalising about generations (one of the most absurd ways of dividing people up) is not helpful. Some of the people making/distributing those dumb 1976 memes on TikTok (and elsewhere) look like they were barely alive in 1976. Conversely, look at the various climate change protests and there's plenty of "boomers" there.
Yeah exactly. You’re not wrong. You are you, and you are different than everyone else in your work place. As are they. That’s not a problem to solve, it’s an opportunity for work to be less painful and stressful to our organism by forcing us to conform to unnatural (for us individually!) environments. By tending to the organisms needs for comfort we free the persons mind to engage in the essence of the work, rather than surviving the day.
Hopefully it’s clear that running is just an example that can be replaced with any other social activities you enjoy.

My point is you’re not stripped of every opportunity to socialise if you choose to go remote, and it’s entirely feasible to replace the loss of office based social interaction with some other social interaction.
Yeah i guessed (i haven't really used them much myself), but the argument was about using the functionality in the standard library.

Of course another practical alternative to both C++ and C (since the linked article is about C) is to use some 3rd party library.
A manual transmission means your gear shift points are beholden to you and not to some corporate bean counter who's going to lean on the engineer to re-tune the shift points so he can get a bonus for squeezing out an extra .01mpg.

It's about corporate interests (cram a small engine in a big car and don't ever let the thing rev if you can help it) being directly contradictory to what makes for pleasant merging or hell climbing experience (let the thing rev and don't up-shift until it's time). This is a large part of why manuals stuck around so long in Europe.
The worrying difference for me here is that when I travel, I pull my phone out of my pocket 50 times a day but I only use my passport once or twice a week and can store it safely in between.
While, in this case, it was for science, presumably, the inhumane and especially cruel flaying of millions of live dogs, cats and other animals happens every year in parts of China and around the world. Not necessarily for the meat, but for a few bucks to be made off the sale of the skin.

Personal freedom is great, but you're still a member of society, which means you have to compromise. That may very well mean accepting that you do need to go into the office sometimes in order to help ensure that your coworkers' needs are also being met.
Sanctions do not apply retroactively, so this is overreach on Microsoft’s behalf. However Microsoft is a private business and can choose whom they do not business with. This is not protected by freedom of speech or any legal right.

> But despite a lot of effort, the vast majority of organisations couldn’t make this ideal work in practice, even if they tried.

This matches my on-the-ground experience. The teams who lived the dream of DevOps were teams which built their software as cloud native (instead of later trying to migrate to the cloud). This is purely because the PaaS tooling let them efficiently be both Devs and Admins.

When you involve many teams instead of just a smallish group of devs, you have momentum to deal with. Plus, specialization - some of these ops people just don't like coding, or at least not the kind of coding you need to be doing to be effective DevOps engineers.

Indeed this leads to SRE - just because "Buying it" is usually easier than "Building it".
Am I the only person who primarily reads man pages on the web?
Get a Mazda? That way you can have both.
I can't say it honestly makes that much of a difference whether I'm driving a vehicle with a manual or automatic gearbox. If you're driving a manual, you don't think about gearchanges any more than you think about steering, or breathing. With an automatic, you still need to change gear for it because it can't see hills or corners, and you still don't really think about it.
What you are looking for is not an open source license.
But thats the problem being expressed - things will fail. Things will always fail, and ignoring that is the equivalent of burying your head in the sand and thinking your ass is covered.
>Ex post facto criminal laws are barred by the constitution for good reason.

I think your analysis is flawed. They didn't come up with some new law and apply it to these people ex post facto. These accounts were contributing to the money laundering (per accusations, albeit indirectly).

Another way to look at it: if these people were contributing knowingly to a project that was laundering money, should they be punished? Of course.
Because macOS. It's not a container, it's a full on VM.
Those aren't remotely equivalent, given that mixers mix up their inputs to obscure their outputs. By using E2EE yourself, you are not actively giving cover in the same way.
Banning the on and off ramps is effectively going to kill it.
In memory-safe languages, memory is not suddenly corrupted because of some exception that is thrown.

Instead, the bigger issue is corrupt external state, e.g. in a database. But that can of course happen just as well if you panic. What you'll need to do is to wrap your code in a transaction, if possible.
It's not free; it usually costs a few thousand dollars, so there is a payback calculation to make.

> "The final non-predictive variable was semantic congruency or integration difficulty. This speaks to the debate whether effects of predictability reflect prediction or rather post-hoc effects arising when integrating a word into the semantic context. This can be illustrated by considering a constraining context (‘coffee with milk and … ‘). When we contrast a highly expected word (‘sugar’) and an unexpected word (e.g. ‘dog’), the unexpected word is not just less likely, but also semantically incongruous in the prior context."

Seems like reading a string of random words vs. reading a text the listener was very familiar with, or had even memorized previously, would have been the obvious test to see if there was a clear difference. Perhaps taking the familiar text and swapping some words, too.

Otherwise, the conclusion is that people anticipate the familiar and get surprised when the familiar behaves abnormally?

AMD's laptop CPUs are also "everything in one chip." Intel still has a separate chipset die on the package as far as I can tell.
I'm somewhat sure that unsychronized 12+ gear truck manuals and float shifting are somewhat of an Americanism, because Eurotrucks seem to basically all use automated manuals (AMTs).
Sure they can: via large-scale economic mobilisation (New Deal-like), build renewables to generate enough electricity to avoid the need to import dirty energy from elsewhere. With limited grid storage, ~2-3x what we have today, >90% of Europe's energy could come from renewables.
Probably (not a legal scholar) but I'm sure it applies to sitting presidents, not former presidents.
If this is due to the vulnerabilities in the SS7 protocol, then it hasn't been secure since 1975.

Another upside - much cheaper to repair and less maintenance.

The DSG version of my VW requires transmission fluid flushes every 40k! These dual clutch systems are incredibly complex.

My g/f's Acura has a 9-speed Automatic transmission. Can't imagine what it's like to work on one of those.
The ties are close, yes, but primarily because EAs who became convinced that AI risk was the most important thing to work on then went and worked on it.

Similarly, a large fraction of people at the Nucleic Acid Observatory (where I now work) are EAs, for similar reasons: becoming convinced that this is what most needed doing.
Once you've patched the compiler, you can re-run your program through it.
Likely not possible to do the same for your legal case, and that assumes you can even get a law passed, which is highly doubtful.

So, while you can work around the compiler issue, you cannot really remedy the legal system for your case, which could be deleterious.
I had a 3rd gen Apple TV, but it had grown nearly unusably buggy. Still-supported apps would randomly crash or fail to stream, AirPlay would randomly fail entirely or fail to play video, streams/AirPlay would randomly stop, various operations would randomly take minutes to complete or time out.

I think those are totally different kinds of disdain.

The former is generalized misanthropy plus specific hostility to the individuals who bother them.

The latter is more akin to the feudal lord or the cattle farmer: a lack of empathy plus an eagerness to stuff one's own pockets such that they build exploitative systems.

Sysadmins ultimately just wanted to be left alone to pursue their techie interests. But the MBA types are the opposite. You can't have an upper class without a set of lower classes to provide you with income and feelings of power.
