I think it already is better than the PPP. Also the SDM845 is very very fast and a lot more power efficient compared to the current pine64 offerings.

A few postmarketOS developers are working on improving the support for the SHIFT hardware and it seems to be going great.
Dynamic keyboards are great but the main reason physical keys lost out on phones was because the space trade off wasn’t worth the extra screen real estate afforded by virtual keyboards.

That’s not a problem with cars. Particularly American ones. “Acres” of dashboard to work with there.
>classed as being marginally racist, usually they do not really mean the things they say.

As someone that moved to a very very racist part of the US in their teens (near a sundown town), this is by far the most scary statement you could write. I believe you would be far more concerned if you understood the enormity of it when you look at it in the converse.

This person you mention that creates an exception 'for one of the good ones' will also create an exception for their buddy when they lynch someone and they just forget to tell the police about it.

I recommend 'Neoslavery' by Knowing Better as a little chunk of more recent American history a lot of people would like to erase. Racism runs very deep in some places.

Even assuming that your grandma was coming from a place of racial animus (itself debatable), nobody is arguing that America is devoid of racism — there's no country on Earth that has truly eradicated racism.

The real point is that the conversation you described happens ten times over in most peer developed countries. If you think it's bad that a few people say this about Obama (who ultimately was elected President twice), imagine what it's like running for office as a person of color in France, Germany, the Nordics, Japan, South Korea, or Italy — it's nigh impossible. Whereas in America, the kind of racism you're describing has been relegated to retirees and people who generally lack power, in Europe, this kind of thinking persists in board rooms, popular culture, and even the British Royal Family (just ask Meghan Markle) — institutions with real cultural influence and power.

Ultimately, while racism continues to be a problem in America, it's much further along in solving that problem than pretty much any other developed country, save for maybe Canada, the UK, and ANZ.

> Last two are via steering wheel controls on both our cars (BMW, Honda)

Try a new Golf 8. It turns out manufacturers can even screw that up.
I can't believe some of the choices they make with touchscreen. Some screens in my car have tiles -- large squares where 8 of them fit on the screen -- which are easy to press. Then there is the phone number listing for dialing, which is are line items which only fit 4 or 5 per page, they are wide, but short. So if you're driving and the road isn't completely smooth, it's very difficult to press the correct line, and requires a lot more attention on the screen.
I feel like a significant part of learning a new language is also learning the standard library alongside the new syntax. Especially because these can be quite different between different languages.
I always thought that the whole point of Manjaro was to be the "more stable" Arch linux, since it holds the rolling updates and releases them at once every month. Is that not right anymore?
Dare I say that might be an improvement? I have observed many businesses being run from broken reporting or from someone’s hunch they invented reporting to support that amounts to random decision making. Even a weak correlation from a black box could be better.
55% of Americans have hourly jobs, most of which do not control their hours. There are many polling places, particularly in underserved communities, where it can take multiple hours to get to vote. Elections are nearly always held on workdays. So if you are a single parent working an hourly wage job from 8am to 6pm and the polls close at 7pm, would you vote? The voting process is difficult in America for some people and easy for others.
Trouble is poor don’t pay taxes but consume a lot of services. If the middle class and rich who do pay the bills leave them a city can have a huge decline in coke from a small population decline.
Anecdotally, every startup I've been involved with for the last few years has completely embraced the WFH and used it to expand their hiring pools to the entire country. I've even seen some who are using tools like remote.com to hire staff outside the US.

I've also done a lot of interviewing over the last year and only one startup (Vanta) refused to allow long term remote. Every other company I talked to said they loved it.
I can guarantee you that they are doing exhaustive usability testing. I've had friends that worked in Ford's design and usability group. EVERYTHING is extensively demo'ed and discussed to death. My friends in the design group complained that the actual engineers would take their designs and fight them constantly on every change and that what WAS a nice interface was junk by the time it went into the vehicle.

I suspect that the engineers fighting them is really just a case of the hardware team and the software team not understanding the world the other lives in. The hardware team is working with a slow as molasses processor that is the only thing thats been approved for the ridiculously rugged life that a car CPU lives and the software people don't understand that just because a webkit rendering engine is completely fluid on their 6 month old Precision workstation it won't be on a 500mhz in dash processor.
This is a very dangerous article as it tries to make an argument that a person with minimum to no training can start to run these black box systems.

One of the biggest fallacies that I have run into within this space is the failure to understand the problem statement. For example, this article does not mention or address models performances on very unbalanced datasets. Most classic M/S/D-L models will perform mediocrely if care is not given to understanding the statistical distributions underlying the data (or even understand the dynamics of the system such as seasonality).

In addition, the author does not address how biases are introduced by using AWS' (or insert Google, Azure, etc) algorithms...not all algorithms are codified equally.

Finally, this article demonstrates how ppl are trying to trivialize the complexity of very complex algorithms, statistics, etc with a plug-n-play...guess it doesn't help that many companies (I'm looking at you Meta) treat their DS as high caliber business analysts/intelligence units.

Okay, time to step away from the keyboard...
What I desire in a landscape photograph is the belief, no matter how naïve this is, that I could experience that sight in person. A landscape photograph as proof that the world is beautiful. Fantasy pictures don't have this dimension and so quickly become boring. Generated images, even those made of a mush of real pictures, don't have it either. There is no _there_ there.
My friend has a Tesla and they have 2 different seat/steering wheel/mirror presets they use before driving and I've watched them do it multiple times within a second. They tap a few times and everything automatically glides into place which seems super convenient, that would be 3x different manual motions in my Civic to move the seat, mirrors, etc (finding the steering wheel toggle is always a struggle).

The only thing that seems annoying about Tesla is the A/C is toggled via the screen.

Otherwise it has those same controls for changing songs/volume/assist on the wheel.
>I've tried to digital detox at home by leaving all of my devices away in another room. I find myself reaching for my phone to take a picture, ask someone a question, or search for some answer to a question. I tried a half hour and a whole hour. I wasn't trying to meditate; I just wanted to be where I was without distraction. I started counting how many times I reached for my device. I would instinctively try to use my phone a least 10-15 times an hour. Having my always on phone and watch has changed the way I think and act. Since I always have my phone, it feels like an extension of myself. The smartwatch is similar. If I'm not wearing it, I'll still instinctively look at my arm for the time, date, weather, etc.

Get a box with a time lock.

Put ALL your devices in it.

Set the timer to 1/2 hour.

Find EVERY day a half hour to dedicate to this exercise.

After 1 week increase the timeout to 1 hour ...
Some level of hubris everybody has.

Go read any thread here about Russia-Ukraine, almost unanimously most comments read like Russia is destined to lose, no matter what they do. You will also read how China is absolutely a weak military power and will lose in case of a Taiwan invasion.

Patriotism like many other emotional attachments can make you blind to your biases. The common theme among most US citizens in this very forum is American exceptionalism - That is - USA will win no matter how many wrong moves it makes, its opponents will lose no matter how many right moves they make.

Its not hard to imagine Germany with its universities, industries, scientists, engineering prowess etc- To have similar illusions of grandeur.
The fan for when the windows get sorta wet. I always have trouble turning it on, even with buttons.

Also the AC and the recycled air.
The game needs instructions. I can't figure out what the goal is and what have the words mean.
It's two things...

Buttons are easier to find without looking. Nice tactile "you pressed it" feedback instantly.

And the fact that all of the cars have such horrible touchscreen UI design. We're used to Apple and Android, and what the cars have is so crappy. And it's always those junky feeling plastic screens. Like how is it they don't just hire Samsung or any tablet maker to build something nice and then hire good designers to just blatantly rip off Apple?

Honda seems about as good as any I've used. I was in a Ford the other day... it was horrible. Just unusable. I couldn't find how to turn the radio on. It was tucked away under "input" and it took me literally 5 taps to get from power off to music playing. And forget trying to tune the damn thing, I had to pull the car over before I realized those buttons were on the steering wheel.

Cars used to be really standard. You could hop into any car and you knew the radio was in the center console. And the lights were on the left (or right if you're foreign), but the brights turned on the same way in all cars. It's just the wild west right now. The designs aren't just non-standard, they're really bad. The tech the cars are using is really bad.
Probably, artists will use AI not to "beat" it, but as a base tool for exploring the space of possibility and expanding it into new territories. People will see AI as just one more tool in the toolbox.

People using Dall-E or Midjourney naively will be like those unremarkable classicism painters in the late XIX century doing realistic yet conventional paintings which nowadays you can create as studio photographs.

Meanwhile, brilliant artists will train new AI models throwing in data collections that have never been seen before as their training input, to generate completely new styles - just like the -ism movements threw all academic conventions away in pursue of new art styles, bringing us modern and postmodern art.

But basically suburbs can be designed well too.

It needs to have strong public transit that connects to the city (or wherever most people work).

And you still need good walkable and bikable paths everywhere. Because driving cars just sucks for everyone.
I'm not sure this was ever in question, but it's good to see supporting research. The problem would seem to be economic in that the market seems to be going in the latter direction. (As wikitopian points out, there's a lack of manufacturers offering non spy-screen based dashboards.)
Are people really getting offended by that nuance?
I put direct dependencies in requirements.txt. Then I run `pip freeze > requirements.lock` within a docker container of the team's target deployment environment. I commit both files, and the deployed application is configured to use the requirements.lock.
I think faces are much easier than reflections for a few reasons.

1. faces aren't perfectly symmetric. There is a bunch of leeway on the small scale

2. faces can be oriented to make lack of symmetry harder to see (most photos aren't people perfectly facing the camera)

3. faces can be parametrized with relatively few parameters. You need correct position and sizing for eyes, nose, mouth, eyebrows and ears. If you get those right, everything else is doable based only on local information. For a mountain range reflection, you need to transfer a ton of exact information across the image (and that information can't easily be embedded in 2d. to know the reflection, you have to have a 3d map).
My main concern is that people are not held back because of it. At some point, everyone needs to develop an innate resiliance (a thick skin) in how they deal with negativity. I think that, in the U.S. at least, there is a greater danger of a social thought-police where people feel like they can't say what they think.

When my grandmother was dying in a hospital, she had some dementia. I don't think she ever uttered a racial epithet to anyone in her whole life, but one day a hospital worker was trying to clean her room up and making a bit of a commotion, she sat up and told him to go away, that she did not like black people. We apolized to the man who seemed to understand the situation. My point is that people are complicated, sometimes they say things on reflex they would not say in a healthier more positive frame of mind.
Basically, yes. The typical American suburb, even "dense" inner suburbs, often don't generate enough tax revenue to maintain infrastructure. The areas get built out with various subsidies from different levels of government; it's only 30 years down the road, when major infrastructure needs updated that the costs become apparent.

I can't recall for certain, but I feel at least 75% sure there is an included demo project that shows how to wire up a simple CRUD app in, like, seven mouse clicks.
> Cargo recently got multi-target builds which is great, and makes this way less of a headache

Are you referring to Cargo's unstable "bindeps" feature? I ask because my company's the one that sponsored that work, and for the purposes of eventually stabilizing that feature we'd like to get feedback from users who are using it. :)
I don't think we can expect manufacturers to lean into this. They care about sales. It seems like regular folks are more impressed by whiz-bang, "wow, this new Bronco played a video of beautiful scenery on its HD screen when I got in" than, "hey, this car's button layout is just like my last couple of cars, there won't be any learning curve". The automakers know which trims and options have sold best and presumably they're competent at interpreting this data and catering to the whims of the market.

It may make more sense for regulators to get involved. "Include physical buttons for commonly-used controls" is a clear common-sense goal, although I'm not sure which things would qualify as commonly-used. And of course automakers could maliciously comply - maybe Tesla would bury tiny controls in the bottom of the center console or something and just keep focusing on touch-screen controls and minimalist dashboards.
Ant colonies are resiliant to large population drops. Colony size depends not just on species but also time of year and available food. As to cities, there isn’t a minimum viable size we just call tiny cities towns.
There's another reason why touchscreens are used. It breaks up one of the "long poles" in the project schedule.

Hardware buttons and switches have to be designed, tested, re-designed, and validated very early in the process of designing a new model so that there is time to figure out how to manufacture / source all the parts, how they integrate with the rest of the car's systems, and how they'll be wired and assembled. Just imagine what the impact would be if late in the process a new feature needs to be added! Pretty much forget about it, add it in the next major model refresh.

With a touchscreen all those dependencies go away. The hardware team just says "there's going to be an iPad sized capacitive touch screen here for climate/infotainment, and another custom sized display here for the instrument cluster". The software guys can independently do the design of the UI, changing things down to the very last moment, or even after the last moment if the car can be updated.
Makes sense, thanks for taking the time.
You have your pricing model backwards IMO. If your target market are those who cannot afford healthcare are they in the position to pay monthly for the possibility of discounted service? I understand that when you run the numbers $10/mrr from 1000 customers vs 100 providers is more appealing, but if the system is worth using providers would be throwing money at you to acquire non-insured cash customers at a scaled rate.

How many customers are currently using the system? How many providers and services are available for the first few customers to search through? If there answer is none or close to none I'd think about making the service free to use until it is worth it for one side or the other (it should be providers) to start paying.
That's a great idea, I'll try and do that! Also, thanks for dawning on me the existence of `sync.Map`, I tried looking for something native but somehow I missed this. I guess tbkv won't match the native code performance, but it's a great exercise nonetheless! :)
This is what I was going to reply with. Mazda’s viewpoint is that using touchscreens is dangerous while driving, so they specifically deactivate it above around 5mph. Surprisingly this works fine with Carplay: the navigation dial moves a focus outline through the various focusable elements of the screen, then a press to activate it.

Fine for me as the driver, absolutely infuriating for my partner as passenger.

> Material is mostly vacuum

This is not true in quantum physics. This is a big misunderstanding among many physics students that they live with for many years because they first learn about the atom using the planetary model of atom. In the planetary model the atom looks mostly empty. But this view of the atom becomes nonsense after learning QFT.

The space within an atom is filled with the wavefunctions of the electrons. If you still ask "but the electron is still going to be somewhere", I can only say that our intuition about classical physics fails in the quantum physics.
So the SPI chip is effectively useless? Is this something that could be fixed in a newer hardware revision?
I accidentally turned on manual shift while recently driving I am unfamiliar with. WTF. Didn't know how to turn it off and had to drive that way until I could safely pull over, put in park, and then back in drive. Bat-shit insane.

The Reagan quote is great. I was talking with my dad about this the other day. He pointed out that he’s been called “bideshi” (the Bangla word for foreigner) while traveling in a different village in Bangladesh than the one his family is from.
Hate to break it to you but almost all journalism is “we asked some people questions”

I don’t know what claim you mention, but his newsletter goes into lots of details, is open about how this is just what he is hearing from people, etc. I don’t know what major claim you’re talking about though, but I do get your point about the business angle.

Tho honestly I would not trust any SVP at a company like Uber to have an understanding of what it’s actually like to be an IC, or PM level. Hearing what people at that level are thinking is way more valuable to me.

It's not a market and it does not act like one. These are not a bunch of startups hoarding intellectual property, they're a group of open projects working together under different flags to build a single product. The work of each is incorporated into the rest.
> What are you changing during your drives? What are those critical adjustments?

Lights, wipers, and cruise control are critical adjustments. I also often change A/C and audio settings because I can do it without looking (though it wouldn’t be the end of the world if I couldn’t mess with those while the car was in motion).
To Swat a Swatter
The argument is that suburban residents should carry the true cost of their infrastructure, not that they shouldn't exist.
House of cards.
I once worked on a user interface for passenger use in military vehicles and field testing similarly showed that hardware buttons were superior. I wasn't even a driver interface so glanceability was not the issue, it was the improved haptics and being able to differentiate buttons by touch in a moving vehicle.

Given the added cost of physical buttons, the compromise was a series of physical buttons along the edges of the screen.

One technique used to convince stakeholders that the added cost was worth it: have them sit an an office chair and ask them to complete tasks on each prototype while someone holding the back of their chair occasionally jerked it around to simulate vehicle movement. Never had objections from anyone who went through one of those presentations.
The visual we draw in our mind that the atom is mostly vacuum inside is due to taking our intuition about classical physical world and misapplying it into the world inside an atom where classical physics intuition is not relevant.

In quantum physics, an atom is not mostly vacuum. It is filled with wavefunctions of the electrons.
I have a touch screen, hud, voice, and my steering wheel has controls on it. I haven't missed having a knob once and rarely do my hands leave the wheel.

What controls are we talking about? Air conditioning? Radio? What else? I've always felt the analog controls were made out of cheap plastic regardless of how expensive the car was.
Exactly. I'm in a smallish town that owns its own power and water utility and maintains its own roads, and isn't "wealthy" or "exceptionally taxed" compared to other areas.

I suspect there are bad suburbs somewhere, but here ain't it.
Related, the challenges sound designers face in making dialogue audible. What seem like simple problems (make car climate control buttons easy to use, make the speech in a movie easy to understand) turn out to be incredibly complex.

>The touch screen, since it can have scrollable menus, gives significantly more customization opportunity than pure physical controls allow.

You can do this while also having actual physical interfaces. You just have to put actual effort into making a design. Touchscreens are not the end-all-be-all of good design.
