The text of this law is nonsensical.

> The passage defining what Congress actually wants describes a system that can "passively monitor the performance of a driver of a motor vehicle to accurately identify whether that driver may be impaired; and... prevent or limit motor vehicle operation if an impairment is detected." This is only half of the proposed system, though. The other half specifically references blood alcohol content, saying the technology must "passively and accurately detect whether the blood alcohol concentration of a driver of a motor vehicle is equal to or greater than the blood alcohol concentration described in section 163(a) of title 23, United States Code; and... prevent or limit motor vehicle operation if a blood alcohol concentration above the legal limit is detected."

The first half is impossible in a car that has assistance features. You can't use machine learning to figure out if a driver using lane-assistance and radar cruise control on a highway is drunk because they're hardly driving at all. There are no inputs to analyse.

The second half is literally impossible. You cannot passively detect a driver's blood alcohol. You can actively detect it by having interlocks in the car but they have to be calibrated regularly and it's not passive at all.

I'm really happy that Gorhill has listened to feedback on the branding and explanation of this, and added back in the ability to "opt in" to extended permissions on individual sites. Thank you for your work, and I'm sorry if my comments in the preview HN thread came off as overly hostile, because given the original comments you made about MV3, I couldn't imagine this sort of outcome. I hope that you or someone else still works to release an MV3-compatible "Full site permissions" version of uBlock as well, since I think there are a lot of potential options for improvement by using declarativeNetRequestFeedback, and it's certainly more convenient to not have to opt-in. And I'm still worried that without an MV3-compatible version of full uBlock Origin, users are still going to assume that "MV3 means that ad blockers are broken".

I suspect the edge cases will do this in. False positives are potentially discriminatory and are dangerous if they prevent someone from driving in an emergency.

I also suspect many people favor letting some legally over the limit people drive, at least short distances, in certain emergency situations, like transporting relatives who can’t walk away from a fire. Exactly what those situations are seems like a subject of contention.

There’s also the related interesting case of moving vehicles on private property. For instance, a couple has a few cocktails at home, their car is towards the bottom of a sloped driveway under a tree, and there’s an unexpected flash flood or high wind warning. Should the car prevent them from driving it forward a few feet to safety?
This kinda sounds like a use case for a playlist to me.
Whether people are convinced or not – your claim was that it provided "justification".

Another example (http://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2022/08/the-pong-you-could-progra...):

“Texas Instruments, typical of their modus operandi in that era, had the most over-engineered solution. Instead of all-in-one chips, TI offered separate ICs for scoring, various types of graphics (walls, balls, stick figures, cars, rockets, etc.), game logic chips and position generators. You combined them together to make a complete game, which was fairly flexible for circuit designers but caused an expensive parts count for manufacturing, and the chip line ended up being a flop.”

That was supposed to compete with a single chip solution.

If you look at the thread, I'm not the same person who originally made the claim.

Nevertheless, it is definitely the case that the "name: type" syntax is noticeably more trendy now than it was, say, 15 years ago. Sure, there were plenty of languages that had it already back then, including Scala (and ML, and Delphi, and ...). But how many of them were mainstream? Whereas now, this syntax is embraced by Python and TypeScript.

And not even OP claimed that the syntax itself is new or recent; I mean, everybody who knows about Pascal knows how old it really is! They literally said "it's an old idea" that is "currently trendy".

Lots of music. Has vast library going back 15 years now. Creators can be supported (although the incentives are to make ad-friendly content, which usually disappoints) via Patreon (to incentivize content that isn't as ad-friendly).

Some will feign that people will want to deal with hosting video, decentralized, at scale. They won't. Only nerds will; you and me. Nobody else cares because it's slow and less convenient (not even throwing shade, that's just a good product). Plus less and less people can afford housing so that's less people affording PCs for their housing/hosting (nobody is going to host from their laptop on coffee wifi). We can be upset about that, or we can just accept it.
Battery-powered scooters are heavily geofenced in the cities I've used them in. Ride down one street perfectly fine. Cross into an adjacent park, the brakes go on, the motor is disabled or limited, and an alarm might sound.

As a solution, it's maybe missing the resolution of 1m vs about 5m at the moment. This is exactly what's needed, but instead of limiting virtually harmless products like scooters, all cars should conform to geofences, especially in cities.

Rigorous geofence-based speed limiting in cities would save literally tens of thousands of lives per year, and the technology is easy, cheap, and already with us.

Is it? That honestly doesn’t seem remotely credible.

You are claiming that there is a ‘location’ where Apple themselves in general need to send off a phone for a battery replacement, one of the most common repairs.

Which Apple Store was that? Where is it located? We can easily enough ask them what the general turnaround time for a battery replacement is.
just checked the paper again and yes you're right, the KL version is better on the openimages dataset. The VQ version is better in the inpainting comparison.

In this case you'd still want to use the VQ version though, it doesn't make sense to do an 8bit quantization on the KL vectors when there's an existing quantization learned through training.
"Security" is an excuse that Apple (and other anti-repair companies) love to use and it disappoints me to see people fall for it on a technical forum like this one.

It is debatable whether the devices that are restricted have any security impact to begin with (the fingerprint or face recognition sensors should just be untrusted input devices with the actual comparison happening inside the secure element of the CPU - compromising this device wouldn't give you anything you don't already have), but either way, even if there was a security impact, you can always let the user choose by giving them the (per-device) keys to override said security.
There’s an entire chapter devoted to Plato in Stewart Shapiro’s Thinking About Mathematics, the first book the author recommends. I think it’s pretty reasonable to recommend people start with an accessible contemporary survey rather than diving directly into Plato’s dialogues or any other particular primary source. As far as I’m aware, Pythagoras left no written works and would thus be unlikely to appear on a reading list.
The last couple years notwithstanding, cars are about the least likely thing to accrue equity.

If you have a loan on something, it's not yours. If you stop paying your car payment, they take it away. If you stop paying your mortgage, they kick you out. (And neither of these absolves your financial responsibility). I don't think it's particularly surprising to suggest that if you haven't paid for your phone yet, whoever gave it to you still owns it.

But I never suggested you can't "do with it as you wish" only that bricking the phone was a perfectly reasonable way to ensure that it was paid for in full in the example of someone getting a subsidized phone but wanting to switch carriers a few months in - which should be allowed, provided you pay back the subsidization.

> First you wouldn't write such stuff in comments, that's useless and not what comments are for. Comments are to explain non-obvious things in code,

First, that is a non-obvious thing in code. You look at code someone else wrote, you use your "competent programmer's understanding of the language", you see the overload they "should" have used, you are about to rewrite their function call to cut out the unnecessary cast, and the comment tells you the non-obvious reason why you shouldn't do that. Thus making it a useful comment.

> the positive correlation between income at 30 and income at 42 is 0.11

I'm surprised this correlation is so low, most people have already started their main career at 30, do people really change career that much between 30 and 42? Only reason I see it can be that low is that they have women who quit work or something, otherwise I'd expect high earners to continue to be high earners at that age and vice versa.

> Some part of your organizations chaos is going to reflect in code, and honestly I'd rather it be in a big ball of frontend than in the data models, infrastructure, etc.

I disagree. I like my frontend to be as dumb as possible. It gets data and reacts to it as simple as possible. Seen too many frontends with a lot of data logic and it becomes extremely brittle, harder to test.

These are the ones where the frontend devs are getting data from the API and creating new structures, transforming it, conditionals everywhere, etc.

It requires way more discipline to ensure that frontend devs aren't recreating the wheel and writing duplicate code as the app and components evolve, and it's worse for larger codebases of course.

They need to build some new component and go - ok I got the data from the API and now I need to do the thing that's already been done by another frontend dev for another component because we've allowed the frontend to be responsible for transforming the data. But if they aren't aware of this, then you get a lot of dupe code.

Just have your backend API provide the contract. Setup resources/transformers as needed on the backend instead of littering the frontend with that logic.

SSO shouldn't be a manual setup, as many SaaS products offer self service SAML or OIDC configuration. I heard the SSO tax is often used as a filter for larger companies that will drag you through lengthy security assessments as part of their vendor process. That makes sense, however, these days, SSO is hardly limited to larger organizations.

I see you offer Google sign-in at the lower tier, and the same workaround could be available for Microsoft. If you offered sign in with Microsoft, I can use my Okta SSO, without your involvement, because it is already configured within my Microsoft organization. I would imagine Google + Microsoft would cover the vast majority of organizations.

It’s the storage that’s the problem, not the transmission. Have talked with several in this business, their take is that it allows plants to have extra capacity to expand to meet peak needs, instead of flirting with disaster. Most plants are hard to spin up and down, so having an alternative way to monetize the energy creation is super important.
No one will want to write GUI code that directly parses and generates XML, so every language will end up putting wrappers around that, and you are back to where you started with an expensive translation layer in-between.

Having a machine format that describes the interface and facilitates auto-generating the bindings, like GObject introspection is a better option and exists today. Even then the auto-generator will need to be custom for each language, to handle integration with the language's standard library data structures, memory management and the like.
One think I struggled a lot with until I got it is that the TypeScript types and the JavaScript code live in totally separate universes, and you cannot cross from the type world to JavaScript values because the types are erased when transpilling - meaning they can't leave any trace.

This means that it's impossible to write this function:

function isStringType<T>(): boolean { return ... }

const IS_STRING: boolean = isStringType<string>();

At best you can do something like this, which is inconvenient for more complex cases:

function isStringType<T, IsString extends boolean = T extends string ? true : false>(isString: IsString): boolean { return isString }

const IS_STRING_1: boolean = isStringType<string>(true); // compiles
const IS_STRING_2: boolean = isStringType<string>(false); // type error

You basically need to pass the actual result that you want in and just get a type error if you pass in the wrong one. Still better than nothing.

Link if you want to play with it online: https://www.typescriptlang.org/play?#code/GYVwdgxgLglg9mABDA...

Put another way, you can't do reflection with TypeScript.

You can write that function in C++ templates, and I naively assumed that it's possible in TypeScript too, since from my observations TypeScript allows complex typing to be expressed easier in general than C++.

> A current GPU (20, 30, or 40 -series) costs more than that, and I also need to purchase the additional components to put it all together.

No it doesn't. An RTX 3060 brand new is under $500. So is a 6700 XT. If we're talking used, RTX 2060's are $200.

Now, are consoles cheaper if all you care about is playing games and nothing else? Sure. But that's always been true. Usually the pro-PC argument is either because you want the flexiblity of PC gaming (that is, your games last longer, you've got things like steam sales, mod support, you want better-than-console quality & performance, etc...), or you already were going to have a PC at which point take the money you would have spent on a console and just add it to the PC in the form of a GPU. In a world of increasingly fewer PCs as a household item, being replaced with laptops & phones, that's less true than it used to be. But ymmv.
