Tires don’t (AFAIK) actively phone home, but it’s close. https://rfid.michelin.com/what-is-rfid/:

“Through RFID technology, Michelin makes tires that "communicate" by linking them to a more global ecosystem, to create infinite potential for innovations and added value for its customers.

Our goal: connecting all MICHELIN tires for Passenger Cars, Light Trucks, Heavy Trucks and Busses by 2024.”

and

“Permanently readable

- RFID used in tires is a passive technology that doesn’t require a battery

- Tire tag can be read even when the tire is moving or rolling”

and

“Secure

- Tag is locked after writing by the tire manufacturer

- Robust traceability technology against robbery and counterfeiting”

It wouldn’t surprise me if some governments tracked cars by their tires,
"content" is just calling it what it is - the producer does something (writing) in exchange for money which has an output (content) that valuable to the consumer (publisher).

It's self-serving complaining about your publisher reducing what you do to its commodity form, while at the same time insisting what you do is more than that. Both sides of the transaction are trying to get a better price, and the art of it lies in the mystification (for the producer) or the demystification (for the consumer) of the commodity.

If you want to insist that what you produce for a living be called something other than what it is in a transactional relationship, then you need to do it outside the realm of transactions.

The complaint about "community" and "creator" is fair - but at the same time, it's companies trying to sell the benefits of some underlying thing they've created, by positing the social activity around that commodity as a special property of the thing itself (just like the author saying what they do is more than content).
No, it's not.

edit: No, it's not. It deals with TCP window but in no way does it deal with customers conversion, retention rates and all those things.

Dear relay operators, it's time to upgrade!

We plan to reject relays which are still on 0.4.6.x in about 5 weeks from now on at the end of September.

https://forum.torproject.net/t/tor-relays-tor-0-4-6-x-is-uns...

---

[tor-relays] Tor 0.4.6.x is unsupported, please upgrade

To repeat what recently got brought up: it's time to get relays upgraded in case they are running the EOL 0.4.6.x Tor series.

We'll start reaching out to operators with valid contact... forum.torproject.net

I don't think the breach frequency is increasing per service we use, just that we're using a lot more services now, and they're better at detecting and communicating when they've had breaches.

So yes, the absolute number of breaches are going up, just like the absolute number of car crashes are a lot higher now than they were in the 1800s.
This is where Netflix was 7 years ago. It was allowed access to the catalog until the IP owners finished building their own streaming platforms. It’s isn’t that much different in gaming except the very low latency requirement probably means much higher costs of entry.
That's correct, but it's important to keep in mind that JPEG XL is tuned for high quality images. If your baseline is heavily compressed JPEGs or AVIF images, switching to JPEG XL might save you nothing at all. However, if you're starting from 4+ MB high resolution JPEGs, and looking to save bandwidth while keeping the same quality, JPEG XL is vastly superior to anything else (including AVIF and WEBP).
Yes the system doesn't want children, if the children have an easy time we just add more roadblocks. I can't wait until everyone has a PhD before they can start their career as a barista.
To me, goverments 'green' measures are just patches that won't work, but are very likely to ruin the lifestyle of the middle class, while the affluent keep theirs untouched.

At the same time, the only real solution that is population decline, is 'spontaniously' happening without any policies like one child per couple, and so.

If the economics of an older population are much easier to solve than our progressive destruction of the environment... Why not incentivice policies to keep people childless?

Sure, the problem with installing a local search engine is the installer technology. It can't be the petabyte of index information that the search engine actually needs, and the petaflops of CPU it would need to search through it.

Everyone has a PB of SSD disk space, some few TB of RAM and a few thousand CPUs to throw at the search problem, or is happy to type in a search query and give a 16 core CPU a few days to execute it, right?

A fresh load of the page (according to Chrome) is 21.5kB transmitted, 59.1kB uncompressed. That's when loading with nothing cached. The HTML is just 7.9kB, but then the CSS is 2.2kB, JS is 2.3kB, and the favicon is 7.9kB which is a bit funny (but it's of course irrelevant for the actual page).

HN could put the CSS and JS into the generated HTML file and still stay under 14kB for the initial load, which then would give you almost everything needed to render the page except a few gifs.

Oh yeah, definitely. It's a complicated mess of variables, that I don't even know how one would begin to tease them apart, but that's also why I firmly come down on the side of "it's both" -- as not all trauma is directly from biological parents, for example.
Automatic transmission is much worse than manual in mountain roads and uphill.
But I always forget that a lot of people have no idea on how to drive uphill with manual transmission.
I did the same with a Smart. The pickup functionality of the back door also allows for moving a fridge, if you tie it down appropriately.

Yep, I feel that exact way about Nvidia Canvas [1]. It does not produce anything even close to usable as a final product, but it can produce an amazing start to a concept.

I own a game called "Project Rito". It's a VR prototype where your arms are wings and you use them to sail on updrafts, occasionally allowing yourself to drop freely to fire your bow.

I just need to improve the graphics a bit as it's mostly place-holder stuff for now.

It's not a great game(yet), but god's damnit it's mine!

.... Wait, it's made in unity, I don't really own that game either, do I?
You can't be "the best" when you find yourself unable to work anymore.
That's not related to the complexity of the thing. Imagine Token Ring had a token, and there were a bunch of people invested in the idea that it was better than all the alternatives.

> My research is about attribute grammars.

> My goal is to actually use the concepts I spent so much to learn in my PhD in my career.

Do you mean you're specifically looking for a job that lets you focus on the grammar/parsing of programming languages (possibly with attribute grammars in particular!)? Or do you mean front-end (or general) compiler development more generally? Because if you specifically want to apply research on parsing techniques, as much as I love that area and wish there was more interest in parsing, I dare say you're unlikely to find such businesses hiring for something like this specifically (unless there's some research institution working on projects like this), given it's not exactly a money-making opportunity. Though if you somehow think there might be such a job, I imagine the best people to ask would be PL faculty.
Underhanded C Contest
The Underhanded C Contest is a programming contest to turn out code that is malicious, but passes a rigorous inspection, and looks like an honest mistake even if discovered.
I will point out that modern electrics don't do automatic anymore. The "automatic" transmission is all software. There is a fixed gear ratio. EV motors have almost perfectly flat torque curves across the entire RPM spectrum. That feeling when you pump the RPMs and let the clutch go? An EV could give you that from 0 to 180kph without ever having to switch gears. An EV doesn't need to be quicker than a manual. There is nothing to be quicker with. There is no gear shift.
I've enjoyed Interdependency trilogy immensely and now reading "Kaiju Preservation Society" and it is awesome too.
Starlink seems to have serious limitations. Apart from potential congestion in your area (leading to limited bandwidth), as the satelites are not geostationary (and hence move) you need to have unobstructed view of a big portion of the sky. If you have trees relatively near you, it can become a problem and connection will be dropped every x of minutes.

Having said that, it's still an amazing technology. I hope they will be able to iron out these issues.

Another optimization in the same vein: make sure the first KB contains the <meta charset> element, to avoid false-starts in the HTML parser. In fact, it's actually specified as an _error_ in the spec to have it come after 1KB!

Of course, in the headers is even better. Point is, try not to have too much cruft before the charset.

I think that this trend is self-reinforcing: When you have fewer children, you need to activate a larger part of your young population for work. A big pool (the largest?) is women who traditionally don't work or work less than men. Working makes it difficult to raise children (and might make the decision to have them difficult, too). In consequence, you end up with less children this year and run short of workers 20 years later.

Child care will never fully remove this effect for three simple reasons: Child care workers are scarce (as they are, traditionally, mostly women), children can only deal with child care for a certain amount of time (it is really exhausting for smaller kids), and getting the kids to and from child care acts like extra hours of unpaid work for the family.

So if a state wants to have a more stable local population, I think it will be inevitable to subsidize families more directly: Reduce working hours for parents (equally, of course) and fully pay the difference (would be really interesting to do a cost/benefit calculation here). Give out other perks (cheaper mortgages, maybe parking space or other permits, first choice when it comes to vacation, maybe the parents get a vote for their children and so on). Finally, the state might even turn to penalizing child-less adults or "nudge" people into having babies (e.g., by taxing contraceptives).

If you don't agree with such an active role of the state, consider the alternative: active control of migration. This in turn brings its own set of problems that all nudge the state to take authoritarian measures (for instance border control ala US-Mexico).

Consequently, any industrialized state has to take an active role regarding demographics and I think it will look somewhat dystopian in our eyes.
> An HLL with 1-based counting that compiles to assembly will introduce additional computational overhead for the translation of the index

Not necessarily so for translation of an index that is evaluated at run time. PL1 (back in the 1960's) compiled arrays into 'dope vectors'. Each array's dope vector included highest and lowest valid subscripts for each dimension of the array and the address where the element with all zero subscripts would be found, if it existed.
Tantacrul has a typically incisive video [1] about the real potential of sonification as a powerful technique for understanding data, and its real artistic possibilities, vs the dishonest and arbitrary way it gets used to generate publicity.

Except VB.NET which is only 0-based but you can just shut your eyes and imagine it's 1-based because you declare an array by specifying its upper bound which equals its number of elements in 1-based.
Yeah, the contrast with reddit is stunning.

When I open a reddit page on mobile, I usually open it in a new tab to give the browser time to load it. When I open a HN page, it's instant.

Interesting find. On the other hand, it's not a one size shoe fits all metric. If the interaction with your website is mainly reading text, then sure it's a valid take. Otherwise you should really just forget about it and use focus on other best practices for providing a good early user experience.
Not just paranoid, it's ascribing far too much competence to them.

We are not married but together for nearly 6 years. In the beginning she did provide for me more than I wanted to, now I make a lot more than her and encourage her to start a new education to change her job.

"Web development is easy".
Not when it involves working with other people. People are hard, code is easy.

"His accomplishments don't stand out as impressive." How can you know this, let alone conclude this?

He memorized 500 digits of pi in a week and wrote it out on a whiteboard in front of an audience.

He built amazing command line tools and importers to automate migrating and testing large eCommerce systems.

He built a fully functional piano in the browser from scratch, in a few days, before I'd taught him JavaScript.

He built a custom 3D rendering engine from scratch shortly after learning JavaScript, allowing one to simply export any model from Blender and render it in the browser.

He built incredibly complex mapping, routing, and geometry algorithms for delivery systems within a year of learning HTML and before turning 18.

Lastly, one of the most humble people I know.

Please don't continue to detract other new developers from the profession because they run into people like you. Especially when they open up and ask for honest help, wisdom, and feedback.

Feed in tariff subsidies are a good policy instrument.

Lots of green tech needed initial subsidies to get started because we currently subsidize fossil fuels and removing those subsidies was politically harder than adding subsidies.

California also very sensibly, introduced net-zero house regulations that mean most new houses will have solar, making it a great deal less artisinal and just another thing you need to build a house.

And rooftop (and generally bulding integrated) solar is in general a good thing. Transmission has a cost and as solar and battery prices plummet, transmission loses the economic battle more and more often when you do the sums. Grids are looking at Non-Wire Alternatives aka Non-Tranmission Alternatives for lots of situations where upgrading or building transmission is the easiest place to minimise costs.

The number one thing that works for me is logging on to HN and seeing a post of some guy struggling with procrastination. I see that, think "wow what a loser", then think "fuck I'm doing that too", and close the tab and get back to work.

Posts from people who beat this don't work. I need to see a loser and see myself behaving like him. Then the break between my identity (I'm fucking awesome) and my actions (I'm doing loser shit) gets me out of it. Whacky, eh?
That's fascinating. I had a manual hire car this summer and I kept getting the 1st - 2nd shift wrong and juddering - I was wondering why I suddenly couldn't shift well (I've exclusively driven manuals for years, so it wasn't as straightforward as being out of practice). I wonder if that was why.

That's rather optimistic. Plenty of low quality images are generated and posted to the public Internet.

What is true is that most of that generated junk doesn't have much of a shelf-life, which reduces the odds of it making it into the training data.
