Not suprising to hear three things:

1. The best programming language is the one you are probably using at the moment, although it assumes you would pick the right langauge for the job at hand.

2. Mixed language projects are problematic.

3. The ability to migrate ownership of a codebase and bring new engineers up to speed is very important.

I think we all recognize these things as self evident but, I certainly, have not always had the discipline to keep front and centre.
I call it the minority report problem.
Abortion just became illegal, haven’t you heard?
So, it’s proprietary email without mobile apps?

I couldn’t find any explanation about it on the GitHub page. Just buzzwords. I’m not trying it out without telling me what it actually is and does.
It was and has been broken. A few times.

A list of claims that are likely to see some kind of quiet semi-official recognition over the next five years:

1. COVID vaccines can injure and kill people.

2. They do so at a much higher rate than other vaccines have done in the past.

3. They can hurt fertility (see the recent crash in birth rates around the world).

4. For the vast majority they were not a good cost/benefit tradeoff.

5. Lockdowns were a failed policy and failed in the way lockdown opponents said they'd be at the start.

Some of these things are actually already being admitted in some quarters, if you look closely. Bill Gates, Mr Vaccine himself, recently admitted that COVID is a disease that "a disease mainly of the elderly, kind of like flu". Remember how people who said COVID is basically a bad flu were treated in 2020? How people who said the vaccines don't make sense for anyone except the elderly in 2021?

And w.r.t. injuries you're seeing the Nordic countries pull the vaccines for young people because the cost/benefit tradeoff is wrong. Moderna specifically got banned in parts of Europe for I think the under 30s, though if you look at the data used to justify that it should really have been for more like the under 50s and that data is certainly way too optimistic anyway due to under-reporting.

So far it's still dead silence on fertility. But birth rates are public. Anyone can draw graphs of them, align them seasonally and see the massive drop that starts 9 months after the vaccine rollout reached women of childbearing age.

Reality is most of the things labelled as conspiracy theories never were. They were people saying wait, these decisions make no rational sense, this is clearly mass hysteria and needs to be opposed. No conspiracy was invoked by the vast majority of the most vocal opponents I follow - just irrationality and institutional, culturally embedded ethical problems in the public health sector.
I have spent my whole career in webdev and I couldn't agree more. A common pattern is that there's a bullshit-free option to solve some problem, but someone wants you to solve it in a stupid and painful way. I sometimes wish I was experienced in some other field so I could move on. The money is good but that's about it.
Why am I not surprised he's into eugenics?
I wouldn’t be surprised. It’s a very ambitious goal to do on someone’s own. It’s not a monumental task: it’s a directed graph of interdependent monumental tasks, each needing to be perfectly executed.

My bet is that they’ll end with a sizeable number of patents, at least.

When will the HN forums get rid of it's fascination for Apple, the privacy company, and realise it's as bad as Meta or Google or Amazon in terms of invasiveness (and possibly worse), since it cloaks everything as "privacy company". It doesn't. They are as evil as anyone else.
I don't think ideally is the right mindset to have here. So long as it does better than a human driver and/or better than the current status quo, it's already a great improvement. Of course things can always be better, but just because it isn't ideal doesn't mean it's bad.
In my country (Easter part of EU) press is just reporting what they are doing. I.e. Ecological movement ABC was sitting on the road and blocking traffic output from the main city tunnel.

People are then getting angry. In discussions, on social media in regular conversations, because they don't understand purpose of such actions - targeting commuting civilians because government does not do what they want.
Does Musk talk in terms of civic duties?
Right, but these are the kind of games that I, as a consumer, do not expect to have to play with an ethical producer that truly just cares about making good products.
Sounds like Peachtree City, Georgia. Ninety miles of cart paths and about 10,000 of the households have a golf cart they use to get around town. Lots of airline and airport employees live there as it is an easy commute to Atlanta's airport.
AFAIK, it is well-known in the industry that Tesla is the only relevant vendor (or at least one of the few) betting on video-only. A couple of years ago, this looked (while risky) more reasonable, given the hype around deep learning-based image recognition (combined with the assumption that humans primarily rely on video). But I suppose most vendors assumed even then that video-only won't be able to handle all edge cases, like bringing a car to a safe stop in case video is non-workable in an extreme situation.
To explicit your final recommendation:

The word comes from the Greek sophists, who are defined as being remunerated, by opposition from philosophers. The association seems to be that they use fallacious arguments to defend their thesis; and by extension is used derogatorily for anything deemed too fancy.

So I think what you're saying is that a collective appreciation for precision improves as society evolves in the same way that the word “sophisticated” has mostly become meliorative.
This is several days old and according to various subs on reddit:

There is a (very poorly shot) video from inside of the car, but apparently it's still possible to see that they tried engaging FSD, but it didn't take. Don't have a link for the video, but it's easy to find.

The video comes from a guy who's campaigning for a Senate (?) seat and the only campaign issue is that of anti-Tesla.
I think you over estimate the size of most small towns.

Pretty much everything from residentials to main street is 1 mile away.

I can walk across my entire town in 30 minutes, almost fully on sidewalks, the few streets with no side walks have no traffic.

Usually there's one main road through town and it doesn't go far, neighborhoods are on each side.

Personally I've found small towns much more walkable than cities contrary to HN anecdotes.
> Italian as first or second language, or a local language heavily influenced by it

To be pedantic:

It used to be first language in many areas, but since at least WW2 it is exclusively a second language.

It wasn't Italian as much as Venetian, which is quite a distinct Italian dialect. During most of the history Italy didn't even exist, and the eastern Adriatic coast was exclusively influenced by the Republic of Venice. Most people don't realise how new Italy is as a single nation.
Applied Economics: Thinking Beyond Stage One by economist Thomas Sowell[0] explores this in good detail, applying it to political and economic policies, in his book.

Housing policies, medicare and today's problem of defund the police can be better analysed if the framework of second-order thinking is used to view the pros and cons of such policies and their subsequent ramifications.

Second-order thinking is a great mental model to have and helps us address some of the cognitive biases that get in our way when making choices.

To me this form of thinking is evident in chess, the evaluation necessary to make a single move gets us to look at the consequences after the third and fourth move before a final decision is made.

I believe when the time allows for it we should really consider the future ramifications of our actions before making a move.

My then-five-year-old was run over by a human driver. Luckily, in his case the human was paying attention and managed to slow down to ~20 KPH before sending my son flying tens of meters, breaking his maxilla and knocking out all his front teeth, not to mention road rash on every part of his body, from his face and ears to his hips, legs, shoulders. I think that only his shoes survived to be worn again.

That human driver reacted in about 1.5 seconds, judging by the dashcam footage. I fear that another 0.5 seconds of reaction time might have had a vastly different outcome. Likewise, I would have had many calmer months had the reaction time been 0.5 or 1.0 seconds sooner, like a computer would do.

I anxiously await computer-assisted driving to protect my family, even when my family is pedestrians. I've since bought a Tesla.
Hey there ...

What are the features of the notebook? Or... what are the input methods for taking quick notes?

And what is the "assistance"? Is this like, reminding you of who you were speaking to in which meeting?

Not going to really ask about data collection policies since it seems like early days here, but could you elaborate on what the software actually does?
Over consuming social media sites is also a thing I hear
Why bother? Because Google Maps shows you the most efficient route. Not the most pleasant, just the fastest. It won't tell you that you're walking parallel to a nice back alley lined with cute shops, or that the route through the park is much quieter.

I find that if I don't use my phone, I'm more likely to look around and try new routes.
Residence halls are generally competitively priced, and is often cheaper than comparable housing off campus. Residence halls are more expensive than they used to be, but a lot of that is due to the type of housing that students are demanding. University-owned housing isn't a profit center, it's only priced to cover the costs of providing it.
I would prefer a more controlled experiment. For example doing the same test 100 times to see the success rate of Tesla. Then doing the same experiment with the other car 100 times as well and then compare the results etc. Just 1 video might be a bit misleading.
Second order ad. :)
So they are not IPv6 only if I understand well. Why a CGNAT would be unreliable?
Yes, sometimes is stops for train and trucks too, but some other times depending on lighting or who knows what it will drive you into a truck at full speed.
And on top of that all old tests are invalid since new updates could change things. As long as the driver does it's job the human saves the FSD and you will never see publish by Elon the number of how many times the human saved the day.
My problem with n-order thinking are in-grained pessimism, and lots of imagination.

Perfect recipe for never doing anything.
It seems somewhat counter-intuitive to declare the source untrustworthy because of a lack of technical expertise while also worrying that the source exploited knowledge of the technology to bias the test.

Based on the video, there is cause for concern. I've not seen any evidence presented which would entirely remove that concern, and it would have to be quite significant to do so.
Not exactly of course; reasoning backwards from the fact that he has fathered many children, he announced that doing so is good for humanity.
That video is from 2019. How many updates of Autopilot or FSD where there since then? I mean the general question is are previous tests invalid once updates rollout and should the official testing be done every time there is update to Autopilot/FSD?

Ooh, interesting. Up until now, I'd just imagine myself solving the problem manually, then describe that with code. I'll try to imagine building a machine to see how it feels
"Science" is not a get out of jail free card for making false claims with 100% confidence that then later get inverted, over and over again. Science is a process for the discovery of things that are true and management of uncertainty is a key part of that process.

Our society seems to have massive problems at every level with distinguishing science from pseudo-science. The CDC is perhaps the biggest and best funded source of misinformation on the planet. They have been constantly making claims backed by nonsense-level studies or even no studies whatsoever, simply to get people to obey their policies. Them quietly editing their website with no admission or notification that they were previously wrong is not Science!!, it's the act of a dystopian bureaucracy.

What would actually be needed here is:

1. A written press release notifying the world of the change, instead of it being spotted by people who have learned not to trust them about anything.

2. A really detailed and thorough investigation of how they were so wrong about such a critical fact, and how the trial / regulatory approval process missed it.

3. A recognition that other people, with far fewer resources, were actually stating that the mRNA seemed to be lingering in the body many months ago. And that therefore their constant demands that anyone who disagrees with them be silenced are wrong.
I have enough books to read and I do enjoy reading a good number. At most times, I usually have a buffer of about 5-7 physical books, and little about 10-15 in digital unread.

The one thing I admire about my father-in-law are his books. He is into literature with lots written and published and still continuing to help other authors at 80+ years of age. I always have seen him amongst books and has a room full of books on the walls, floor, tables, and everywhere. His focus is specifically on folklores from around the world. He know where to go in USA or UK and buy very specific rare books (mostly used). I'm pretty sure he has read thousands and thousands more still unread in his library. He once sent me on an adventure looking for a specific library in Austin, Texas and see if I can buy/steal a particular book. I finally got someone ship a used copy to California, then to India.

I like the idea of having unread books around that I know I can read, and others that I can re-read. I'm, however, unsure if this is good or anything advantageous than anyone else that just reads what they want to or need to.
The subsidies and tax breaks are endless. Subsidies on gas boilers, peying for upgrades and maintenance on electricity plants, subsidizing exploration, spending vast amounts to secure sources and prevent the countries who own it from making bp or shell pay fair value or fair wages, preferential land taxes etc etc.

Cars paying for a small fraction of the infrastructure they use via fuel tax isn't the slam dunk you think it is. It's actually just another example of subsidy because much of the roads, and parking, and port facilities and pipelines are paid for by vat and income tax. With further communal resources being spent via space reserved on every private and commercial property for the benefit of cars such as setbacks and parking minimums.

A tiny fraction of the public resources we have spent on fossil fuels, and later nuclear could have completed a green transition at any time in the last century.
Look, we have someone who is depressed and the answer is to suggest blockchain/web3/crypto?

The entire crypto space is filled with scammers / barkers trying to get others to join the cult since it can make their electronic pesos a bit more expensive. Suggesting this to someone going through a rough time is borderline immoral. Please don't.
I'm in the same boat, but even older than you with 25 years in. I just hate everything except the actual coding - I hate devops, always have. I hate having to learn new frameworks every six months and having the fundamental stuff I learned early on - objects are good, always separate presentation from logic - being totally flipped around.

I've managed to learn React and Next enough to build stuff in them, but I'm not especially passionate about React - it seems like it's ridiculously hard to do very basic stuff in it and the workarounds all seem like they were designed by the criminally insane.

I'm a good coder but not a great one, and I'd love to just find a gig that pays the bills without having to deal with all the masochistic "work is life, I piss in a bottle so I don't have to get up so I can maximize my productivity" bullshit. I just want to write code and make a decent living. I don't even wanna be rich. I just want to not have to stress as much about taking care of my wife and myself.

Maybe we should all start our own consultancy - we don't charge you rock star rates but we get the job done. :-D
Incoherent.

How can there be a levee paradox.

You can see the water it holds back.

What would you do if your only limit in life was your imagination?
Here's more recent: https://twitter.com/WholeMarsBlog/status/1558876752062976000

The point is the video is likely faked. This is a well known feature that works in many examples of testing and is one of the things that's been working since forever. Detecting pedestrians was one of the first things they added before it was even called 'full self driving'.
True, but it's not IPv6 only devices.
The difference between debugger and non-debugger in 80's unix is... none, besides calling ptrace().

It appears there is a lot of controversy regarding the factualness of this report.

Here's an article claiming the results to be completely fabricated.

https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesmanian-blog/tesla-model-3...

If the fraud turns out to be true and provable, I would expect Tesla lawyers to be all over this guy...
I don't think that "it doesn't always kill or seriously maim a child - there are numerous examples where it didn't" is as powerful an argument as you think it is.
I'm not sure why the Author only listed Volvo, but at least Mercedes and most VAG vehicles use LiDAR, too.
Do you have a more reputable source?

That Youtube account (and associated website) look like an archetypal example of unbalanced axe-grinding.
Thanks for reporting that issue! I am getting down to it and will fix it today.
They are making this change because previous beliefs they had - which partly formed the basis of regulatory approvals followed by forcing this stuff into people against their will - were wrong.

At minimum this means a total failure of the regulatory process. They were victims of misinformation and made approval decisions based on that. Given their obsession with it they'd need to investigate how that happened and put in place new processes to rebuild the trust that is now correctly lacking.
I generally skip articles from Farnam Street. Once I saw the source, I already knew what the comments would be. ;)
Too little info to provide any real advice besides the obvious (see below). Out of curiosity, though, do you recognize the name of the merchant?

Anyways, there's a toll-free number on your card. Call it and explain the situation to them. They'll likely re-issue your card and call it a day, unless the specific transactions trigger some sort of "red flag" (although, if that were the case, the fraud department would likely have noticed before you did and already took action).

There are certain types of questions that aren't really appropriate for an "Ask HN". This is one of them.
The problem I'm thinking of is that a town that small is probably missing lots of things many people consider important, so they'd have to drive to a neighbouring town. My sister lives in such a place, and does more driving than I could stand.
That's fair. I still use 3-liners for that.
In the Hayden War Cycle / On Silver Wings series by Evan Currie humanity is looked at with some concern for being heavy "tool users" who augment themselves. I don't think that in this case they specifically had GPS in mind, but rather the reliance on cybernetic implants, powered exoskeletons, and other more advanced technology.

One of the advantages of aliens in Sci-Fi is that they can provide such an outside perspective of humanity. I wish it was utilized more and to greater effect. It's rather interesting. Sadly most Sci-Fi either is so out there that humanity seems to dull in comparison and you'd not waste a thought reflecting on it, or it lacks peaceful interactions and alien perspectives.
> And on top of that all old tests are invalid since new updates could change things.

Convenient way of discarding any evidence you don't like.

> Yes, sometimes is stops for train and trucks too, but some other times depending on lighting or who knows what it will drive you into a truck at full speed.

Not sometimes, always. The only times it doesn't of note is what I would call "small overlap into lane" situations. By that I mean the vehicle is almost entirely out of the fixed lane lines on a highway, but a police vehicle is sitting partially into the lane to block the traffic which is something that they do sometimes. Some Teslas have apparently had issue with this which is why they're working to improve that. I haven't heard any recent events of it in the last month or so so it may be fixed by now.
Ok, so we put 15 other cars in a row next to the Tesla and that other car and they will probably (hopefully) all stop and the Tesla will not. That's a serious issue with Tesla then, I see.

On the other hand: It proves nothing for LiDAR technology, integrated in some strange non-brand cars, when all the other brands get the same result without LiDAR.

As others have pointed out, it seems like the author of the tweet has its own agenda, also the test conditions are obviously not the same and whatnot.

This is pure BS at this point.
Is it me, or does everyone here have a different definition of what n-th order thinking means ?
I'm not sure the bosses even know about slope. It's turtles all the way down.
It's not difficult to make a stdlib-compatible handler with bells and whistles: just stuff everything into a context and provide helper functions for retrieving those variables from the context. This is what https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-chi/chi#URLParam does.

Echo and Gin deviate from http.Handler because they want to be frameworks and stamp their framework-specific type signatures all over your codebase.
Interesting, so one stubborn guy in USA who decided to sell broken internet access to its customers. I'm sure they are happy, if this story is true.
It depends on what the painter does with the 'new painting'. If it is solely that the painter(considered a student) is learning how to paint, then copyright infringement would not apply as it would be covered under 'fair dealings'.

This would apply in the UK, perhaps Europe. I'm not familiar with US law.

Quoting the Act - "Fair dealing with a artistic work for the purposes of private study does not infringe any copyright in the work."

If the painter then goes on to sell this painting, well, that's copyright infringement because they are making a copy of a painting available to the public.(assuming no licencing or authorisation from the legal copyright owner was previously obtained)
