My first Linux box was a 20mhz 386SX laptop with 3 megs of RAM (1 meg on the motherboard, 2 in an expansion.) I could barely run Linux 0.99.x. The distro was SLS, and it came on 12 or so floppy disks. I quickly upgraded to a 486 with 8 megs RAM, then 20... which seemed incredible at the time (1994-ish.)

It's amazing how bloated today's software is...
I think what's missing is why you'd want to do that.

If I have a rust app on a scratch image, why would I want to turn it into a wasm container?

My assumption is because wasm can run on multiple platforms (x86 and arm) so one image supports both, is that correct? Are there other reasons not as obvious?

I'd investigate the heck out of lifters, a technology that translates high voltage DC power to lift, and built myself a large craft to fly around in, and find out once and for all if they actually work in vacuum. If so, then it's on to build a moonbase!

For some context, "flight pay" ranges from $150/month to $400/month today, depending on tenure. A brand new lieutenant has a ~$41k base salary, a 4-year captain ~$65k. So it's not a small incentive, but not huge either. There are other things like base housing (or a housing allowance), overseas pay, etc, that bump up overall comp a bit.
Non-competes in CA & CO are totally enforceable if:

2 - you are selling a company.

If you are a coder or regular employee, then no, the non-competes are not worth the paper they are printed on.

This is nonsense. Money is very real because it’s an abstraction for materials, goods, services, etc. If governments fail and currencies collapse yeah sure that money can’t do anything for you, but idk about you but my USD is good just about anywhere and it does a lot for me.

You might make arguments that when the world falls apart you’ll be glad you outsmarted us by buying gold or some other thing society decided has value. But if the world falls apart I wouldn’t bet on gold being the best thing to trade with. I’d rather have a stockpile of medicine, ammunition, livestock, and a seed bank. Those things are hard to store until you need them for an apocalypse. I can assure you that if you tried to give me gold for ammunition in this scenario you’d be leaving with gold.

You could also argue that gold/silver would and is a good currency abstraction and I’d agree with you. In the absurd scenario that the world falls apart I wouldn’t count on merchants coming around that actually want gold/silver. So many useful things become useless in an end of the world scenario that it’s not worth worrying about.
The whole Musk saga is basically a cautionary tale for regulators, and a classic American story of regulatory capture.

The second something that's not autopilot was marketed as autopilot should have been an instant barrage from the FTC.

The second Musk committed securities fraud for "funding secured" he should have been banned from ever being an officer or director in a publicly listed company.

The second it became clear that Tesla was ignoring the requirement to have a Twitter Nanny on Musk's Twitter, the SEC should have obliterated the Tesla board.

But this is the post-Obama US, where insider trading is fine as long as it's the Right People doing it. Where bankers and investors can take obscene and reckless risk knowing the tax payer will cover their loses. Where a President's son can openly try to sell influence - who knows with what degree of success - and the intelligence agencies won't move a finger. So the Musk saga makes perfect sense.

> The good story will beat the truth every time, unless you've lucked into your truth also being a good story.

I'd argue this is about story telling capability. Telling a story well, is an art. Chances are you've seen a number of stand up comics tell an otherwise factually boring story - but somehow made it hilarious. This is why there is the "they were so funny when they said 'foobar'....guess you had to be there."

The problem here though is now your interview process is evaluating stroytelling skills rather than job skills per se - well unless you're looking to hire a good storyteller. On the other hand, interpersonal communication is important...
The word "outrage" is problematic. It implies, by it's very definition, that the mere mention of these things brings people into a furry of uncontrollable anger.

I would wager people are abusing the word and changing it's meaning to sensationally signal displeasure or disappointment with historical events. Those are not the same.

Outrage has an emotional immediacy to it. It's really hard to be actually outraged by events that transpired 40 years ago, 100 year ago, centuries ago or more.

I assert there is no human alive today that is actually, really outraged by the Holocaust or any of the other atrocities mankind has perpetuated over it's history. Who would they be outraged with? Hitler - who has been dead for 77 years?

It would be quite emotionally immature to be literally outraged with any of this in a modern context...

What is the government’s minimum standard for a car autopilot to be sold as an “autopilot”?

Air autopilots rely on a pilot being present, observant, and able to take over if necessary. Air autopilots are not infallible.

How could the government come up with benchmark standards for car autopilots when Tesla (and others) are actively inventing the technology?

How could Tesla realistically train its ML models if not for the billions of miles of data it collects from Tesla owners?

How much damage will this litigation do to American autonomy R&D?

How much of the recent Musk hatred (by institutions such as the media, and large elements of the public) is due to Musk re-aligning himself politically against the Democrats and Big Tech?

Pre-trial proceedings did actually occur in the Delaware court. They all went pretty badly for Musk which is why he relented before the trial began.
Note that the BMC does not always restrict itself to the BMC port. I've worked with machines that have a dedicated BMC port, but also have a BIOS-configurable option (on by default) to let it use whatever port is connected.
In my experience (Model 3 and Y), Basic Autopilot works very well on highways and is easier to use than the competition. However, enhanced autopilot and full self-driving do not provide benefits and are still unsafe outside freeways. They are used by Tesla to increase margins and hype their brand as innovative.
Exploring the richness and variety of letters sent to the East India Company
I switched from Android a few years ago because my company gives out iphones as a perk. I used "ok google" extensively, and loved it. It was incredibly good at answering obscure questions and doing things like navigating or playing a song. It would do what I wanted almost every time, even if I was trying a new command for the first time.

I try to use Siri for the same things, but she suuuuuuucks. If I ask her to play a song, 9 out of 10 times it will do something idiotic- like I say "hey siri play tears in heaven on spotify", she might reply "now playing tears in heaven by a shitty kazoo cover band". If I say "navigate to the closest olive garden", it would say "navigating to olive garden corporate headquarters, estimated travel time 43 hours 12 minutes." But never mind, I can see the olive garden I was looking for, it's at the end of the street I'm on.

These are artificial examples because I can't remember specifics right now, but trust me - the real examples were just as dumb.

She's great at setting timers or alarms though! And I can reliably use her to pause, skip, or adjust volume when I'm showering or something.

> It shouldn't be this hard to stop a service gracefully.

It's not.

> you just need to drop a script into /etc/init.d symlink it from the appropriate rc directories.

You just need to drop a unit file into /etc/systemd/system/ and symlink it from the appropriate /etc/systemd/system/${target}.wants/ directories.

Don't tell me that "shutdown.target.wants" and "reboot.target.wants" are harder than "rc0.d" and "rc6.d".

A lot of the article is about ordering of dependencies (don't stop a dependency until after the dependent has stopped). Don't tell me that adding `Before=` and `After=` lines in the unit file is harder than having to remember all of the dependencies and manually figure out the correct "NN" for it all to work correctly.

A lot of the article is about either having your daemon handle SIGTERM, or coming up with the appropriate `ExecStop=` command. The same command you'd be writing in your rc script (the "handle SIGTERM" stuff being for if your rc script simply says `kill $PID`).

That is: The complex parts of the article are things that were complex with sysvinit too.
Will they finally be forced to name it adaptive cruise control, as it should've been from beginning?
I see it the opposite. You can hire people to prep you for the test and pass it while having done zilch during HS; whereas bs'ing your way to higher grades over a period of several years is harder.
Strongdm also has passwordless authentication to downstream [1]

Complexity is a relative term in this case. There is no complex yaml files when you want to setup simple SSH in teleport. The complexity arrives when you want to custom configure everything, which I think is same in your case.

With Google and Meta both trending down, a hopeful person might be looking forward to the end of parasitic digital advertising and the negative externalities it has drowned us in for the last 20 years. Alas, I've learned not to hope quite so boldly as that.
Sick burn!
This is effed up. In my book, the company that you're interviewing with should never call your current employer. Call my ex-employers and references I provide all you want. But if you call my current employer, I will not work for you and I will deny ever having spoken to said other company if my boss asked me. It'd be a surefire way to make me stay at my current company (and keep interviewing in other places, because I probably do want to leave).

Heck I don't even update my LinkedIn until a year or more after I move companies. I do update it way before I might want to jump ship again, just like the "Looking for work" flag. My current employer's HR department will get no direct signal that I'm actually looking if I can avoid it. I'd go as far as not using LinkedIn functionality to apply to something. For all I know LinkedIn provides a paid for service to my current employer that notifies them, that I'm interviewing.
Wonder if it’d also be possible to send commands to Siri, that could also have some implications.
I'm pretty sure I had this as a kid. It had very memorable stamped steel girders . I think we built some sort of ferris wheel (not sure which exact model) and I was really unhappy with how slow/weak it was. it was a real depressing moment. Never quite forgot it. Took a good three and half decades before I finally learned how to make high torque spinning things (motor torque got better, easier, and cheaper).
At this point I've basically given up hope and come to the grudging admission that ecosystem destruction through predatory exploitation is probably the Hard Filter behind the Fermi paradox.

Any species evolving in an environment defined by the competition for resources and hitting the same - or similar - exploits in the game engine as humanity (tool use and cooperation), seems destined to be the victim of its own success.

The primary behavioral mechanisms that would prepare a species for such an unlikely success - e.g. "don't consume more resources than strictly required" - would never make it through the selection process.

So we end up with the power of gods and the appetites of locusts.
"managed to randomly announce" is a very odd way of saying "the CEO committed securities fraud because bankruptcy was imminent and his entire net worth was sunk into the company".
You can see how much Google spends and makes on everything outside ads and cloud. They report it as "Other bets" on their financial reports.

Last Q they made 209m in revenue on other bets, and lost 1.6b on those bets.

The only profitable business for Google is Ads.

Cloud, and other bets burn about 3b dollars every Q.
Sorry, that sucks. There is hope that MATRIX will allow more small planes to be piloted without a medical. Hang in there.
It's not about party success.

Conservative values generally mean trying to keep things the same. A hard to change set of rules supports this. Progressive values generally mean trying to make changes [to improve society]. Being able to change rules supports this.

We should therefore expect conservative people to want a hard to amend constitution and progressive people to want a easy to amend constitution, regardless of whether or not they are in power. I expect this asymmetry to be visible in whether more ammendments are proposed (and ratified under) progressive or conservative regiemes.
there are some things that no amount of a majority ever makes moral
It is. Smaller square foot houses tend to go for more per sq ft. That said, my house is 1700 sq ft built mid 50s. We looked at many anywhere from 1500-3000k built in the 50s and 60s. But a 1700sq ft house built in the 50s doesn’t get discounted over a 1700sq ft home built in the 2000s despite old plumping, electrical and insulation. Homes in disrepair obviously are cheaper, but that’s just as true for 20 year old homes as 70.
Ask HN: Does remote work make it easier for abusive bosses to hide?
People generally give managers A LOT of benefit of the doubt. It’s natural in normal, in-person work to assume as an employee we are the problem. Then you go out to lunch with your colleagues, and you get the ‘lay of the land’ of the organization and who to avoid, the quirks of different managers, etc. And if a manager does something abusive, it’s in a public place (an office) and makes it easier to see and call out.

But in a remote workplace, many of your 1-1 interactions are on a zoom call. Further, you’re not in a strong group setting where abusive behaviors are obvious or easily documented. Work feels more transactional, and the work required to create a safe culture is much higher.

Is it me, or is remote work a breeding ground for horrible bosses?

And if that’s the case, what does that imply for the cultures of remote work companies?

I’m a big proponent of remote work, and don’t want to go back to the office. But I just had an experience where I had an abusive boss and only recently, after a year or so, has it become obvious I’m being gaslighted, I'm only now comparing notes on the experience with others who are validating my horrible experience.
So I can trust 93% of all humans who have ever lived – impressive!

Would you assume the same thing about playing a musical instrument or playing a sport? What is playing video games except practicing cognitive performance? It works spatial reasoning, logic, dexterity, problem solving, reactions, etc.
For me the Mindstorms failed at updates and could not work despite heroic customer service that did not include a refund. They are not a tech company and can not do tech.

Since then I've proven that things like ESP32 Arduino etc actually work to teach small kids real robotics. Mindstorms was always a gimmick.
I agree entirely with you that Rust, today, is well-adapted to people who like to learn by the "fuck around and find out" route.

You mean the right to contraceptives paid for by the public, covered by insurance, or administered by people who may have sincerely-held religious beliefs against contraception? No state, Supreme Court judgments aside, forbids an adult from paying for birth control pills on their own prescribed by a doctor who sees it fit.

What? Obergefell requires states to grant and recognize marriages between two people of the same sex. That seems like a pretty narrow part of "being gay".

As somebody who was trying to get people to take covid seriously back in 2020…

“The event has a Health and Safety policy, and if the policy changes it is only strengthened – never weakened – between the event’s announcement and the event itself.”

…this is not sane.
I'd like this to be true, but that's some industrial grade BS sprinkled in that press release:

> The unit requires about 10% of the space required by solar panels and generates round-the-clock energy.

Let's be generous here and use numbers for my area, which further north than all of US excluding Alaska. I can get just over 200W of electricity per m^2 from solar (peak) with standard ~20% efficient panels here and 200kWh per year.

So with this I should be getting 2MWh per m^2 per year with an average power output of almost 230W and much higher peak as it is generally much more windy during the day.

So 1m^2 footprint of this device would match performance of standard 3.5-4m diameter wind turbine (9.6-12.5 m^2) assuming a sane if slightly optimistic average annual wind speed of 4m/s.

I find that super hard to believe.
