At this point I'm not even sure you understand what's being discussed, but I thought it was blatantly obvious

> At 1500km/932 miles, the functionality is taken away automatically, and you are then software blocked from using the full capabilities of a vehicle you purchased until you pay for it to be unblocked.
I think we're making compatible points. You noted that you can bypass the OS by running on bare metal. (True! You can also use real-time OS features, devote one or more cores entirely to running the emulator flat out, write directly to a frame buffer - or maybe even generate the actual video signal[1], etc..) Another nice thing about a microcontroller board like a Pi or Teensy is that you can easily get signals in (e.g. controllers, keyboards) and out (e.g. sound, video) of it.

Note that Linux (which I'm familiar with) makes it fairly easy to bypass much of the OS for real-time applications, but you can get most of the benefit by simply running a single process (i.e. just run the kernel and a single emulator process.)

My point is similar to yours actually: that as long as you calculate the output signals on time (e.g. before the clock edge) there is not a meaningful difference between hardware and software implementations.

By this reasoning the vast majority of lawyers drafting contracts are not acting in good faith because the vast majority of lawyers are drafting obtuse unreadable contracts. Which is perhaps the case but the current reality is that encountering readable contracts is the exception not the common case.

I've long thought there's sometimes some of that. But I preach to my students that it's not smart to try to sneak something in, buried in a "wall of words," because it presupposes that the other party's reviewer won't spot it and get pissed off.

> as the best sock for that person is unlikely to be the most promoted one.

not necessarily. I don't see how there could be a correlation between the two. When you see "sponsored" on a listing, that doesn't tell you how much the vendor paid. Also many large and reputable vendors will pay simply to guarantee they are at the top of the listing. For the vendors that don't sponsor, you don't know whether the amount they save goes into a higher quality product

> This is essentially using user-data outside of the intent it was given and that should be controllable by the user and default to the most conservative option without annoying dialogue boxes or other harassment.

Except feeding user data back into the system makes certain things technically possible that weren't possible before. Do you think modern map applications would have the same degree of accuracy if they weren't able to use user data to improve it?

> Whether it's within the platform or not shouldn't make a difference.

It does make a difference because keeping it within the platform could be used to improve the platform itself. Sending it outside the platform could be used for more malicious purposes. In the map application example, the user knows their data feeds into improved accuracy. But they don't know where that data goes outside the platform

>to the doubters, there is 0 car OS ecosystem, tesla proved it, it has to be built from the ground up, it's the perfect opportunity to create an alternative to iOS/Android

Counterpoint: I will not buy a car that does not support Apple CarPlay. That includes Tesla. I don’t want to deal with whatever proprietary garbage the manufacturer wants to run. I don’t want to sync contacts and settings to some half assed service a car manufacturer created.

Nope. I won’t even entertain buying a car that doesn’t support CarPlay.
Well, I don't agree. You'd struggle to do it without any software at all these days, but you can certainly do it without anything written in-house.

My point about Access (or Excel or whatever as you say) was that that would be the very early days of something starting to happen in-house, that wouldn't even be the hypothetical 'script kiddies'.
Same. Except the books I buy aren’t advanced :)

> The sound mixes today are so far off a pleasant experience that the people who do make them should feel ashamed - How do many actually have a home cinema room with soundproofing and 20 speakers ?

Also, digital camera manufacturers should be feel ashamed for cameras providing photos that don't even fit on my monitor. My 24MP Sony camera outputs photo's at 6000x4000 pixel resolution! Who the hell has a monitor that big ? I can only see a small part of the photo at one time.

Oh way, no, that's absolutely crazy. Because maybe some people do have a monitor that high-res, or maybe they want to print it or edit it or.., or... And guess what, there is no need to have the photos be smaller to display them, you can simply use a viewer that scales them to fit on your display. There is absolutely no need to throw away that extra information and you might want it in the future.

Same goes for audio in a movie. If it doesn't fit the dynamic range suitable for your setup, then scale it to whatever you need it to be. You may not have a setup to enjoy that, but others might, and they shouldn't have to deal with sub-par mixes because other people don't know how to configure their playback equipment.

Because Google would then become a business with virtually no revenue - and no chance of producing revenue. Even though Alphabet itself would remain just as profitable, a business organization can't survive long if its goals are not in some ways associated with producing revenue, by the nature of how corporate politics work.
> some subtitles will not match the english dialogue at all

I have the same issues when watching shows and movies translated into German. Trying to improve my level of the language, but with both the dubbed soundtrack and the subs turned on almost every line of dialogue differs between the two. I assume it's because the subtitles generally reflect the original script very closely but the dubbed version requires more rewriting to match the sounds to the lips.

Newsflash: There are unknown, unknowns.

The vast majority of the population, they don't even know there are solutions that would change their life.

E.g: In a world of 8,000,000,000 how many people know that there is Coursera which has top-level courses that can change their lives, improve productivity and make impact?.

"I know everything, don't tell me. I'll ask" is exactly the attitude that prevents learning (and prevents people from knowing about coursera). You are just advertising that personality to the rest of the world
+1 for this tool, happy to pay for it and buy everyone on my team a license!
In my experience all three options are usually crap and I would have been better served doing my own research.

The only time advertising has been of use to me is advertising clothing. It's an extremely saturated market, so searching for "cool t shirt" or "nice jeans" is worthless. Before COVID I would go to a nice area in Tokyo, NYC, or some other major city and just load up when it was time to buy new clothes.

I block most ads, but a couple ads have gotten through over the years and I've learned about new brands or atleast new styles and had a jumping off point.

I still feel I am way better off blocking as many ads as I can, but can't say they've been completely worthless.

Most of the HN crowd can't fathom the idea of spending money on clothing outside of necessity. Shirts that will last ten years is more popular of a topic than shirts that actually look good.

This is something I was blown away by too; for a 750 million dollar show, there sure are a lot of scenes where nothing happens.

By far, my favorite example is the scene where Elrond challenges a mountain dwarf to a rock-splitting competition. As viewers (even ones unfamiliar with LOTR), we know the outcome of this contest. The only thing they need to show us are these two characters after the competition, breaking down their relationships as begrudging friends. Instead, we spend more than a minute-and-a-half watching a rock splitting montage. Completely pointless from a storyboarding and writing perspective, especially considering that the outcome doesn't circumvent our expectations.

My second favorite example is even dumber; the third episode has another pointless 90-second scene of Galadriel riding a horse and smiling in slow-motion. I'm not joking, the entire scene looks like one of those HDR demo shots you'd see on a TV at Best Buy.

The show is genuinely difficult to watch, but don't take my word for it. Watch the first episode for yourself and take a shot every time you audibly sigh, you'll never want to watch an Amazon original again.

To be honest it's pretty rare to go book at all for me. I mostly find free online resources to be good enough. I still have this giant bookshelf of outdated tech books that are pretty much just of value as fire fuel, so I really kind of hate physical books except for things that are timeless
The case of "access" I think is partly two avoid two things. First, it's to avoid implying that the concern is about getting treatment, as opposed to being evaluated for it or being set up in the system. Second, it's to avoid implying that the potential patient's concern is about "getting" something at all, as opposed to being eligible for it, in the sense that they could get it if it were necessary.

Access as an idea is very important in healthcare equity, because it avoids a lot of the political baggage that is attached to the less resourced obtaining those resources. If you have critics that are accusing the poor of just hoarding things, you want to clarify that what they're getting is eligibility or entrance, not the resources per se. Access is about being able to get drugs if you want and need it, not getting drugs per se.

Ask HN: Explain P != NP in plain english
Could someone explain P != NP to me like I'm literally five :-)

What is P? What is NP?

Why and what part of it is nondeterministic and deterministic? How does verification play into it?

Does this only apply to decision (yes/no) problems or can it be other problems?

What does an equal to and not equal to relationship mean? Why does it matter?

Also what is NP-Hard? What is NP-Complete?

Thank you!
Obviously I mean there's no contract demanding ongoing work performance from Uber drivers. Drivers can stop at any time. The only terms stipulate how they can work and under what terms, should they choose to do so.

It is the polar opposite of an arrangement which demands continuing performance. It's even less restrictive than a typical employer-employee relationship.
I didn't necessarily think of those as rules, but I nevertheless solved the puzzle (until the end) without contradicting them. I only noticed maybe halfway to the solution that there is only one carrot, so obviously the rabbits have to pile up to solve it.

> Furthermore in the limited visibility that they give to blocking they frame each blocked request as a success unconditionally.

Two things that have happened to me:

* Cloudflare has decided that I'm a bot and stalled me, given me capchas, or just blocked me outright.

* Cloudflare has shown me marketing claiming that 40% of traffic is bots.

I'm not particularly impressed.
This approach is too imprecise, you'd constantly be rounding everything up to the nearest dollar -- the net net equates to yet another ripoff against consumers.

> Figure it out. Adapt.

I understand this is a stylized opinion.

There is actually a great deal of innovation in advertising! I don't think the ad ID tracking is going to, on net, matter. For example, Fortnite already has unavoidable branded advertising that doesn't require tracking at all to work. Native ads can't be blocked by uBlock.

The big forces at play move around where advertising goes, but it doesn't really get rid of it or necessarily make it "better". Probably we should not allow advertising to kids, and yet here we are, Roblox and Fortnite branded experiences primarily for very young children! Thanks Obama.

Hey! We're both here in the same thread.....
Wayland seems pretty good to me now.

There are still the odd issues with HiDPI but I think that's mainly down to XWayland support in apps that don't support Wayland natively yet.

e.g. If I'm running VLC and I move it from a 1:1 screen to a HiDPI screen then my mouse pointer goes tiny as it passes over it. It's a similar situation for some older Electron based apps too.

Support for XWayland is OKish but not seamless.

Hopefully time will solve that, for VLC I think that should happen in version 4.

Appealing to the stereotyped 'learning styles' in instruction may not yield reliable results in terms of general academic performance, but swapping between them or targeting a specific mode of delivery for a particular bit of content can be especially helpful for maintaining pupils' attention and interest, which does have an impact on test scores. In my former life as an instructor I've found this to be true in both teenage and college-age class groups.

In a more narrow use case, I have found visual presentation methods are also especially helpful for teaching past cultural and linguistic barriers.

> platforms like YouTube literally cannot exist without advertising

Why? If you consider Netflix without the cost of content creation, then less than 1 USD per month per user would cover the infrastructure cost just fine. Maybe cents suffice.

Youtube is just one big profit center for Alphabet.
Your second function does more work and covers more cases certainly but could also be written less confusingly to indicate the intent. If I encountered your second function in a code review I would at a minimum be asking you to add comments to clarify to the reader what is happening.

When the article talks about bad writing they aren't suggesting that "simpler" is better. They are suggesting that "clarity" is better. By all means cover the edge cases but don't construct the legal language so it looks obfuscated INTERCAL.
When I wanted to learn something new, I used to go and buy 10 books on the subject. I would find something useful in all of them, but rarely, in fact never, did a single book have everything I needed. And half the books would rubbish. But $500 got me the information I needed.

Now I go out and buy 10 Udemy courses and have the same experience: 5 are rubbish and maybe two cover everything I need.
It's strange that they thought of essentially taking responsibility for a change that YouTube did to break embeds.
Google booming doesn't necessarily mean OP is wrong. Go read some PPC forums and you'll see a pretty consistent trend on ad ROI going down everywhere. Folks may just be spending more trying to spend their way back to a low CPA.
Or a haiku, there's not much being said there.
Although glibc's implementation is indeed "raw futex-based" it is not merely a raw futex, of course. What you get from glibc isn't a futex (tricky to use properly) but instead a C structure type named pthread_mutex_t. It's quite big. 40 bytes!

All Rust wanted was a futex, which for reference is just any 32-bit aligned value. The pthread_mutex_t is less useful to Rust, yet it's ten times bigger!

So, Mara's new Mutex<T> in the Linux builds of Rust is just a futex (32-bits) plus a poison boolean plus your type T which is protected by the mutex. If your type is Zero Size then this rounds up to 8 bytes, five times smaller than pthread_mutex_t. If your type was just a u16 (unsigned 16-bit integer) then it rounds up to the same size, but you're also protecting your 16-bit unsigned integer which is nice.

Now, if you're protecting huge data structures with mutexes, you don't care, it makes no measurable difference. But if you heard futex is small (it is) and protected loads of tiny objects with one each (say, individual 32-bit floating point X,Y co-ordinate pairs) Rust now makes your choice cost roughly what you expected instead of bloating your program for no reason.

It's also a bit faster (but probably not enough that you should care) and simplifies some other book keeping in Rust itself.

[ Above I wrote about Mutex, for Condvar the argument is similar but I haven't spent lots of time understanding the innards of Condvar whereas I spent a week reading Mutex stuff ]
Advertising is actively working against this - trying to find ways to correlate your activity across as many devices and accounts as possible. Especially now that work from home, BYOD and ZeroTrust (which reduces the need for corporate VPNs) are all blurring the lines and giving new opportunities for correlation.

> And if someone is likely to use an open source solution, they’re also unlikely to be influenced to switch to a paid product based on an ad instead.

This is assuming that the ad isn't promising something too good to be true, or using deceptive pricing to make it seem cheap enough to be better than the OSS, or using psychological tricks to try to override your rational choice (which may not work for this particular example, but may well work for many others).

Our memory banks are effectively infinite, we can remember a lot of details from very early parts of our lives, all by ourselves or with the help of hypnosis and other techniques. Oftentimes (much more often than we like to think) we do not remember the exact details (see research about witnesses). Lessons on memorization allows children to train their memory.
"You live in a finite universe" is not the same as "the universe is finite". You live in a light cone, and unless you are immortal that light cone comprises a finite amount of space-time.
Something I will add which relates to the examples in the post (gym, business, relationships) is that big things happen with lots of small steps over time. You can't do a years worth of workouts on Jan 1 and be fit for the year. These things take daily effort and cycles of work and recovery to happen.

That desire for perfection can also be a desire to be done. To have it finished and get closure. It's hard to accept that some things are going to take a long time or a lifetime.
