NPT is a new implementation in C in the making.
No - he's addressing the linker/loader stage, not compilation. Code is getting fully compiled before it's run, but then there's no linking step, and he also allows individual source files to be updated (recompiled, and dynamically loaded) while the program is running.

They're also unable to predict what the human drivers next to them will do because the human drivers don't understand the situation they are in.

Anecdotally, the most common flaw I experience while driving (self or not) is me reacting to traffic in front while another car is only reacting to me, the car most immediately in front of them, passes (often erratically switching lanes), merges with less than a car length, only to slam on their brakes because the traffic in front of me has no openings.

This is a popular misconception. Paperwork is basically created as part of job being done by the government employee. This employee is hired due to connections and the paperwork created to justify the job. The pointlessness makes people exert the tiniest amount of power they have, like reddit mods. The monetary corruption is more related to salary which is related to well being of economy.

For example, during British Raj almost any British who could, got a job to move these papers in India. India inherited that machinery and hasn't moved to economical right yet. The current government is trying but you can read how it is a bad government in western media since it came to power. The corruption in government allows foreign interference so of course.

> the problem lies entirely somewhere else -- in our ability to self regulate.

Of course we have a problem with self-regulation. A billion-dollar industry exists whose main goal is to make certain foods more addictive, and yet as a society, the onus always falls on individuals to figure out how to overcome millions upon millions of dollars in research into chemically perfected food that we can't say "no" to.
It's inevitable that roads will eventually be built with electronic assists. However, there are good reasons to develop cars that can still drive without them.

Given that the government would have to do it, it's going to be a really long time to completely retrofit our roads with these devices. We're still not putting them into new roads right now, nor am I aware of any international standard for doing so. A common standardised database of road works would have been useful for decades of GPS navigation but we still don't have that either - most countries don't have one at all, and the ones that do aren't standard (often even varying from city to city) and tend to be incomplete. Relying on the governments of the world to sort this out is a risky strategy.

Secondly, even assuming we do get these systems in place, you can bet good money they will frequently be wrong. Some contractor will come and dig up the road but forget to move/disable/update the electronic markers. So having a parallel visual self driving system to help identify these situations is essential.

Third, pedestrians, bicycles, kids, animals, etc. are unlikely to contain these markers. For trains, we just ban them from the track, put fences around it, etc. but that's clearly not going to work for most roads.
AI is a big field, you will have to choose a specialty. Don’t stress about it too much, you can change later, but think whether you would rather do images, text, etc. I would focus on whatever you might be able to work into your day job, as diligent as you will try to be, it will be much easier to keep momentum if it ties to what you are paid to think about every weekday.

It might not be possible to overlap the sexiest new techniques with the things that you can practice during your job, but there is a lot of fundamentals you will be learning regardless, and when you are ready to jump more squarely into cutting edge applications you will find them essential.
The biggest issue with sony is that they're all about specs and that's it. The menu system and user experience are really lacking. Fuji is kind of the opposite (for their aps-c lineup), smaller sensor but much better software/UX

It is a reminder how opaque Chinese politics is that a former Politburo Standing Committee member can be dragged off stage without comment. Imagine trying to do that to Trump or Obama!

Of course, using a crypto multisig doesn’t give you a pass on the law.

The closest example might be to point to TCP/IP which makes up the web and is (pretty) decentralized. Companies and even monopolies compete on top of this protocol but no single company wholly owns it. Although, ensuring decentralization tends to be a much more strongly considered goal in blockchains than what we’ve seen on the internet.

It’s a long read but “The Crypto Story” does a pretty great job at distilling some of the motivations:

Roger Penrose & Stuart Hammeroff’s “Orchestrated Objective Reduction” theory [1] is fascinating and really captured my imagination when I came across it.

But like almost all scientific theories tackling The Hard Problem, it’s built on the assumption that matter gives rise to consciousness.

As time goes by and my own understanding deepens, I’m becoming more and more convinced that this assumption is wrong. Instead we should start considering that consciousness is fundamental, and matter is a product of universal conscious experience.

Idealism is still compatible with the material world, but it seems futile to search for “the experiencer” within the experience itself.

This is not a great article. It's based around Ford admitting they're not a software company, that they won't be able to compete effectively in this space. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

This does not mean that self driving cars "aren't going to happen" -- in fact, the progress by industry leaders has been methodological and constant. The evidence clearly shows that it is happening, and has every indication of continuing to happen. Five years ago people were incredulous that a computer could pilot a car at all. Now, everyone has conceded that this is possible and the criticisms are about how a computer pilots a car and whether it should make more risky maneuvers. This is exactly what we would expect progress to look like.

As progress continues, companies will learn whether or not it is profitable to develop competing products, or concede to market leaders. Ford has conceded. Rivian has conceded. They will license technology developed by other companies with more capable technical teams.
Having watched Penrose and Hammeroff for a while now, IF microtubules contribute to consciousness experience then it is the collapse (or inference) that gives it wheels.

I'm laughing here because when I posted their ideas to HN oh so long ago, I got downvoted to oblivion because "there's no way organic matter can act as a quantum device". For a place that considers itself a "safe" place to explore ideas, it can be quite dangerous to share too much too early, sometimes.

Time will tell, but my instincts are that we're getting close. We needed computers dreaming first, and we have that now with generative networks!

My great-grandmother's folks used to make this. The "family recipe" dates back over a hundred years. Back in those days they would use the meat from the head, snout, feet of the hogs. The "store-bought" Brunswick stew that we find nowadays is so full of sugar and artificial sweetness, and doesn't really do the old recipe justice. Our family's recipe would cater more to the folks that enjoy a vinegar/mustard based stew.

Only problem is, the original recipe makes something like five gallons of stew, maybe suited more for family reunions or large gatherings. Efforts to size down the recipe doesn't seem to yield the same flavor. Definitely a staple of my childhood and to think that the recipe has been passed down for multiple generations is just amazing!

EDIT: Grew up about 40 miles from Brunswick, Georgia USA. I'm assuming this is where the name originates from.

Also, the wave of programming languages started by Jonathan Blow talks (jai, zig etc.) all focus on very fast compile times even for large code bases. So, hopefully hot reload will be less of a need in a couple of years (when these languages mature).
That reminds of a story about an Indian couple travelling Europe. SO, obviously, within the Schengen countries you do not need additional visas, something foreign to said couple. So, they crossed Eu border by train and ended up in another country. Confused over what to do next, they talked to the next police officer they found, because the couple was sure they couldn't just continue their journey without any further control. Explanations didn't work, so the easy solution was to use an official looking, but totally irrelevant, stamp to put on the back of their train tickets (in order to not cause confusion with the tickets or official passports). Source: I know the police officer in question.
That's also mostly black boxes for me, in both Firefox and Chrome on Ubuntu, with and without UBO.
Reminds me a bit of zig's in-place binary patching[1]

> In-place binary patching is based on a granularity of top-level declarations. Each global variable and function can be independently patched because the final binary is structured as a sequence of loosely coupled blocks. Another important characteristic is that all this information is kept in memory, so the compiler will stay open between compilations.

about their previous computers:

> After a while it felt as if a fighter jet was taking off next to me, constantly.

as someone who spent time around jets in the US Air Force, I absolutely loathe this analogy.

The difference between a few computer fans and a jet taking off is like the difference in force between a dead leaf falling on you from 10m above you versus a 25kg anvil falling on you from 10m above you.

computer fans are annoying, sure. being 6ft away from a jet engine during takeoff will result in permanent and severe damage to your hearing, if not complete loss of hearing.
Erlang does it, but it requires an extensive system, and the application programmer must support it, too: [0], [1].

It's... cumbersome, let's put it this way, and mind you, Erlang makes it happen at "safe" points, when the code being replaced is idle.
The US still hasn't finished industrializing/urbanizing, so we still have relatively large rural populations that drive longer distances to go to and from stores schools etc. The schools can't even cover the area they serve with bus service for children. Those areas will continue to meed cars, and they aren't a corner case, they are still roughly a fifth of the population.

And buses dont work that well in suburbia and that is over half of the population. Only about a quarter of the US lives in denser urban environments.
I cannot buy a Pi 4 (8GB) locally at all. Amazon appears to offer one for 200-250 euros. For 200 euros or less, I can get a NUC-style mini PC at my local electronics store that is more powerful.

I had a feeling this had been discussed on HN a few times before. And I think it's pretty obvious why anyone with a social network to plug is trying to ride in on the Twitter/Elon publicity bandwaggon, this week.

I looked at the longest discussion [0] from just over a year ago and the first post I saw was this, from ColinWright:

I came here to say the same thing as square_usual[0] said elsewhere[1], but I'll expand on that a bit.

My immediate thought was ... Hmm, I wonder what this is? Is it like Twitter? Is it like Facebook? Is it like Mastodon? Is it like Instagram? TikTok? QQ? Pinterest? Reddit? Hacker News? How is it different? How is it new?

Then the first thing I saw was a paragraph of text and a sign-in form.

You are competing for people's attention, and while your platform may be wonderful, if you don't get people to try it, it will die unloved. The first thing you've done is given them a barrier, not a taster.

I've just revisited the site today and nothing has changed. You can't see anything of the content unless you sign up for an account. Any site that's supposed to be a 'community' that won't even let me peep behind the curtain without creating an account, I just assume it's a ghost town and they're trying to trick people into creating accounts, just to artificially inflate the user figures.

Pity you didn't take ColinWright's advice on board a year ago. I see that every subequent discussion of vers.social on here has attracted no interest whatsoever. Maybe that ahould also tell you something.

Except it isn’t really 4g per day in a vacuum. As you gain weight every kg needs an additional ~20 calories per day to sustain its basic processes. So by year 20 you are eating an extra 600 calories per day to sustain that weight plus an extra 4g (~36 calories) to continue to gain weight which is a quite noticeable amount of food.

At this point cutting the equivalent of 50+ oz of coke or a little more than a Big Mac per day would leave you feeling hungry, but that food slowly crept in over time.

Erlang has it built-in, or you can roll it manually, like in [0]. But the biggest problem is not changing the code, it's changing the layout of already existing data — throwing it away is equivalent to killing the process and starting it from scratch. It can't be done automatically, you, as a programmer, must supply an upgrader (and downgrader, for rollbacks) written manually by yourself.

You demand evidence, but the report is a review of the evidence, so they're doing exactly what you ask.

Are you sure you're not the one who is offering innuendo here? You were insinuating and now outright stating that the entire theory is politically motivated bullshit, but that's not true. There have been people around the world, unaffiliated with US politics, digging up evidence for this for the last two years, always being shouted down by people who don't seem to want to face the possibility that "science", "expertise" and the state science bureaucracy were directly responsible for COVID.

"Now did China engineer the virus, or was it one that they were studying and it escaped? I’m having a hard time keeping up."
