The average age of cars have risen from 9 to 11 years [0], you are correct. However, though the vehicle depreciates at a lower rate, the cash paid doesnt change as financing periods are not linked to the usable life of the vehicle.

Your mental framework of greater reliability leading to a glut of used cars is still theoretical at this point. Used car prices are up 33% from 2001-2022. I don't think it's a sound assumption to believe the rise in car prices is a "blip". The supply chain is as fragile as it ever was. With a move to onshoring (e.g. the chips act), a war with Russia and much-worsening Chinese tensions, I don't see anything but a secular shift in how cars are manufactured.

> Modern Art was created

An interesting aspect of this was a (partial) severing of the connection between a lot of the population and the art world.

If AI means artists need to get weirder to survive, it widens this disconnect.

That might be the biggest tragedy in all of this.
This was my interpretation of attaching the concept of 'publisher' to Google in relation to the recent-ish "news" aggregation debacle whereby Google and Facebook were eventually made to pay news companies for linking to their articles in an oh-so-obviously punitive pursuit by the Australian Government of the day protecting their, umm, "political campaign contributors".*

Someone else commented that this is a very 'thin' interpretation, and so there may be no implications to the above. Were there to be any implications, however, they would most certainly go against the above 'protection payments' being enforceable.*

My Prius can fit a large stroller and still have room for shopping in the trunk. As much hate as it gets, it's actually surprisingly roomy inside. Under the trunk floor there's a removable compartment that I use to store a 100pc tool kit, first aid kit, fire extinguisher and spare washer fluid. And under there is even more space. People who do LPG conversions store the tank there, so no loss of trunk space.

On road trips, my wife and I would fold down the rear seats and sleep in the back. I'm 183cm (6ft) and there is plenty of space. You can fit 2.4m lengths of wood if you need trips to the hardware store. I guess full plywood sheets would need the hatch open, but there wouldn't be much overhang.

A year or so ago I tried a RAV4 and it felt much smaller inside. In the rear seats I felt much more squashed.

Exactly my thoughts as well. We're now starting to automate our own culture away: stories, art, music... Why would you spend the years building skills to create something in a sea absolutely flooded by automated algorithms? As these AIs get better, it will be more and more difficult to distinguish the output from human minds.

I keep wondering what the endgame here is. Once everything can be algorithmically created, what's the point of humanity anymore? Just consuming an endless flood of auto-generated, recommendation-optimized content?

Last time I posted on an HN thread about Tailscale someone else mentioned Tailscale mobile battery use issues on android.

I’m currently travelling and am staying in an area with terrible internet. Can now confirm that, in that situation, Tailscale battery use gets totally out of hand. In my case I only really had it on out of habit, so it’s easy to just not run it on my phone for the time being.

Caveat to say; I still love everything about Tailscale. I’ve switched to using Tailscale ssh for work and it’s an absolute joy.

I'm curious to know why they have chosen to use FreeBSD as a base as opposed to Darwin/XNU on which macOS itself is based.

Nothing against FreeBSD (happy user here) so there's probably some good reasoning behind this.
University types infect the private market. They think they can turn programmers into standard office workers to lower their pay. And, unfortunately, they're right. Consumers will buy, so no need to produce quality. They can slave away graduates that have to pay back loans and have 0 guidance on the market or how to negotiate.

All apart of the plan.

Something built for efficiency (think aptera rather than tesla) can cruise indefinitely on a lawnmower motor or a mid range hardware store portable generator.

There are motorbike engines which produce 30kW (double or triple what a tesla needs to cruise) and can be lifted with one hand. Detune it for longevity, efficiency and noise, add a 10-15kW stator and a 10L tank and you can have a range extender which would take up less than half the boot of a sedan.

If we find our collective sanity and allow travelling long distance at 80km/h that halves.

Hell if we could get our act together and design sane sized vehicles with universal standards you could just stop and swap out a pair of 30kg batteries every hour or two.
You can avoid the giant command line by providing a configuration file exported from a “known good” install:

From the installer GUI on a machine with the correct set of components installed, click the “More ▼” button, then choose “Export Configuration” and follow the resulting prompts.

Alternatively, the installer’s “export” command-line operation does the same thing.

To use the resulting config file, either supply its path using the “--config” option to the installer’s “install” and “modify” command-line operations, or apply it from the GUI by clicking “More ▼” and choosing “Import Configuration”.

This is also handy in non-IT deployments to quickly replicate an existing VS install on a new machine.

Incidentally, even if you are going to go with the “giant command line” approach, the export mechanism is an easy way to figure out a valid set of component IDs to supply on said command line, though it doesn’t necessarily generate the smallest set of component IDs able to produce a given configuration, due to the presence of workload IDs and the fact that component dependencies are automatically installed, even if unspecified.
Which hasn't received updates since 2019. Unlike Stadia, which not only gets updates every month, has recent ads in third parties.

Google are still investing money and in Stadia. It's unlikely they'll shut it down soon. In most of the things they killed, there had been no investment for some time before the official announcement.
Ctrl-C is still bound to an interrupt — it’s Cmd-C (i.e. Super-C / Win-C) that is bound to copy. Most things that a regular user can think of (paste, print, select all, to name a few) that would be control mapped in user facing programs are typically mapped to the “command” key instead.

Cmd+` to switch windows within an app.

For those more familiar with Windows and probably most Linux conventions, Home/End won’t behave how you want but they move to the start/end of a scrollable view (which IMO is more useful).

In most any app ^a will be your Home equivalent and ^e will be your End equivalent. If that sounds weird or weirdly familiar… a subset of emacs key bindings are built in for basically all native macOS text inputs. If you get weird and hook up a full keyboard to iOS devices, works pretty much the same!

(I personally use ^t quite a lot because I accidentally rtanspose letters while typing all too frequently)
It was only worth it if you had to deploy a custom image to a whole fleet of machines.

IIRC there was a tool called "sysprep" you could run to reset the drivers, hostname etc. so they would reconfigure themselves on first boot.
I made a few APIs on Golang and it was fine. It was easy and it performed well in production for many years.

Speaking of this specialness... having the main system shortcut modifier – Cmd – physically located under both your thumbs is priceless.

In contrast, the Ctrl keys are usually located such that they're best accessed with your pinkies. Who thought that making people use their weakest fingers for the most common shortcuts is a good idea?

Could you remap your keys to have Ctrl keys under the thumbs in Windows / Linux? Yes, but then:

1) It will become hard to use Ctrl-based text navigation shortcuts (such as Ctrl+left to navigate one word left) with one hand, and

2) Ctrl+Tab will now use the same physical keys as Alt+Tab used to, and your brain will never heal from this (at least mine refuses to).
Of course technical expertise is required in many if not most industries. The question is how much expertise.

And the question is also how much management expertise does a great technical person have.

Personally, I think it is vastly easier to learn the techical aspects of a company, and learning management techniques is much more difficult. Because management has to do with personality. Learning the technical aspects only requires intellectual capacity.

It's usually much easier learning 2+2=4, rather than changing one's entire personality from being volatile or aloof or condescending to being a good calm manager. It can be done, of course, but much harder.

I have been the head of organization and everyone was always better than me, and by far. So many times. But it isn't to say I didn't know anything, I did.

But it took WAY longer for me to figure out how "office politics", in the good sense of the term, works.

This part is kind of bogus:

"A common solution to this problem is for leaders to say that they will surround themselves with good people who have the requisite expertise that will allow them to make good decisions. The problem is that without actual expertise, how do these leaders even know whether they have found the right people to give them information? If managers cannot evaluate the information they are getting for themselves, then they cannot lead effectively."

You know because you are working with a team. You have other people on your team that can give feedback on whether they have found the right people. It's the exact same thing if you and I need a lawyer or a doctor. We cannot judge them either, yet we have to make a decision. When I look for expertise, I will always look at the licensing bodies to see if there have been any kinds of disciplining, it takes all of 30 seconds. I get referrals. I look at "Best Doctor in Sacramento" or Chicago.

I never ever told anyone who worked for me that I was smarter than they were. I said that they were all better than me in their areas, and I knew they were, and not giving me a line of garbage. I knew who they were beforehand.

Like most things, there are thousands of variables to take into account. You need technical expertise, you need leadership skills. And a bunch of other skills. The question is in what proportion.

In some areas, though, that require super tech skills, then yeah, you need a LOT of tech skills. That made me think right now about CERN and the Large Hadron Collider. I hope they have actual physicists running the show, not an MBA. So I look it up and the Council President is Eliezer Rabinovici, a theoretical physicist, and Director General Fabiola Gianotti, an experimental particle physicist.

But those super high technical industries are fairly unique, where you need a PhD to understand the most elementary things.

Everything just depends on a myriad of factors. There's no real easy answer.

Ask HN: Interested in having canaries Docker for AWS Lambda?
Hi HN,

I have hit this problem at a personal project where I would like to run Gatsby on AWS lambda, however Gatsby requires the last Nodejs runtime that AWS does not provide yet.

> How are there still googlw apologists?

It's not Google apologizism to state the obvious that Stadia is getting money and time thrown at it to this very day, so it's unlikely that it will get killed soon, and pointing out the difference with the majority of the killed products which were usually on maintenance mode for prolonged periods of time before being killed (IoT Core included), not to mention in 99% of cases, free.

Stadia has the best UX by far of all cloud gaming platforms. It needs Google to show long term commitment by signing a few more big third party deals, and improving hardware and thus stream quality. Without that it will languish as a niche, with it it could get successful.
Interesting idea. I just don’t see carmakers giving up previous real-estate for a third-party solution.
Any color discussed long enough becomes gray.
It doesn't matter how well it works. I want a button. That way, I can adjust things without talking over passengers, and the kids cannot adjust things by talking to it.

If I have to pish a button to activate it, then it is strictly more work than pushing a button. If it filters out all but the driver using stereo location, then the passenger can't futz with it for the driver on long trips.
It's hypocritical, sort of, but doesn't outrage me. Like other celebrities, these guys have a public and a private persona. Basically tweeting in support of their ventures is part of their job, a bit like 50 Cent's job is to take pictures surrounded by wads if cash. It wouldn't offend me if it turned out actually he had a bank account.

It might be that their position on new housing in their region is an egregious one, i haven't really thought about it, but the hypocrisy around it is, I think, par for the course.
Darwin is still open sourced, but mainly because of drivers and differences in certain other things (threads maybe, Mach ports / IPC, etc) that don’t have the integration or implementation with existing software is a major headwind to attempting a full encompassing Darwin OS.

PureDarwin was (is?) an attempt that hasn’t been able to break through those headwinds.

Macs have a Meta key called Command that can be dedicated to the shortcuts defined in GUI applications while leaving Ctrl free to be used by console stuff. So all the GUI copy/paste/windowing etc controls use Command key shortcuts.

The original 1984 Mac keyboard did not even have a Ctrl key, it was added to later keyboards as people wanted access to terminal applications.

Those that try to eat their daily intake in pure sugar will 1) feel like absolute garbage and lie in a comatose state further reducing their expenditure 2) overeat.

>Nobody seems to question why such a system (varna/jati/caste) exists in the first place.

Probably because it's assumed that reasonable know the answer: othering people and out-group hostility are utterly pervasive, even "natural" human behaviors.

>in fact, all the people crying for meritocracy are going to come running back to this system when they realize it is designed to be 100% meritocractic.

Unfalsifiable claims incoming!

>because it takes into account actions of your previous birth(s), not just the current birth.

You didn't even attempt to hide it. Boring.

>if you agree that not all humans are born equal (some are healthy, some disabled, some rich, some poor etc.), then there must be a reason for it.

Yes. It's how biology works. That's it, no need to order your understanding of the world around how the lottery of birth _must_ be a righteous and perfect outcome.

>If the reason is anything other than 'it is the result of your own actions', and you find that reason acceptable

Again, it's just biology. Whether or not I find it "acceptable" is a total non sequitur.

>then by extension, you have no problem with the government punishing YOU when I steal from a shop, or rewarding ME when YOU save a child from a fire.

Reminder that you've constructed this "logic" upon a total non sequitur, completely divorced from
Reality.

>Because you have already accepted that anyone's actions can affect anyone else, or that random consequences can happen to anyone.

I'm not sure this even follows if I were to accept all your claims so far. Which I don't. Because they are very silly and clearly false.

>And as is the case with any ranking system in any profession in any ethnicity in country at any time, it is always the lowest ranks that complain about a lack of equality.

Funny, that. Those pesky inferiors are always complaining about their lot in life.

Claiming cosmic meritocracy as a justification for an _absence_ of meritocracy in the here and now ... it's always a funny thing to see the tortured logic of the truly privileged.

React would have been great in a functional language with immediate data structures.

Instead it’s used with JavaScript, where you have to constantly force yourself to create your prop objects in a very specific way to avoid or force (re)rendering.

It’s a constant struggle to control re-rendering. I still can’t believe React became as big as it is.

Vue and Angular just fit JavaScript better.
