There is very little reason to be in a state where the advantage is the difference between a collision and not, is I think what they were referring to.

Adequate following distance, conservative driving, etc.

Not like that happens on freeways in any city, of course, but the point is - it shouldn’t matter, but should be nice to have.

Unfortunately, I’ve had numerous false triggers (highway construction barriers coming in rapidly from the side, while other traffic merged in), which made me disable mine. It’s almost caused several accidents in the last few years.
Awesome, thank you for the quickly reply/add!
https://newdiscourses.com/tftw-intersectionality/ clarifies how the notion of intersectionality is generally interpreted in a Foucaldian way by most people who engage with it. This "interpretation" is not just parent post's but widespread enough to call it a consensus.
I've been on M1 since last year (Switching from a 2015 MBP) and while there have been some issues, the transition has been going fairly swiftly. The main one I had to deal with was some google library embedded inside React Native Firebase. But the fix was fairly easy (setting XCode and Terminal.app to open using Rosetta). My Mac Mini is enough for daily work and my MBA is perfect for personal uses, never getting hot, even with multiple applications opened.
If anything, this article was damning of Mastodon's outlook because it admits up front that joining an instance with a large user count has all of the same issues as Twitter with more drawbacks in the UX. As soon as Mastodon gains the level of traction that Twitter has, it's just going to have all of the same problems as Twitter with the only out being to spin up new instances. Why bother investing your time in it unless you're at the forefront of the gold rush?

It's basically the same story as Reddit where once subs get popular, they become a shell of their former selves. Or crypto, where the hype outpaces the utility and turns it into a speculative asset for a future that will never meet expectations.

I think, quite literally, one's mileage may vary. Not all stop-and-go traffic is the same.

It's not always safe to keep the huge distances apart at the speeds the system wants (other drivers will cut in). The system can also have a difficult time with motorcycles lane-splitting.

Anyway the way I see this is the switches are there for the driver to use at their discretion. I would hate for the industry to move towards full automation. I love the system as it works right now. Just my two cents.

It seems similar to MIT's Noria [1]

> Noria is a new streaming data-flow system designed to act as a fast storage backend for read-heavy web applications based on Jon Gjengset's Phd Thesis, as well as this paper from OSDI'18. It acts like a database, but precomputes and caches relational query results so that reads are blazingly fast. Noria automatically keeps cached results up-to-date as the underlying data, stored in persistent base tables, change. Noria uses partially-stateful data-flow to reduce memory overhead, and supports dynamic, runtime data-flow and query change.

This is only tangentially related, but this article reminds me of Galbraith's "The Affluent Society" which should frankly be required reading for undergrad social sciences. In it, he argues that, at the time of writing (late 50s), the industrialized West has largely solved what had previously been the main preoccupation of economics - improved standard of living. As evidence, Galbraith points to advertising.

The argument is simple: when important productivity improvements take place, say the invention of a new way of baking bread, they don't need advertising to gain mass use. Their benefits are so obvious that they don't need to be sold. Demand doesn't have to be created, because demand comes from human existence.

The existence of advertising, in contrast, shows that the thing being advertised probably isn't that important. Indeed, the item is so trivial as to require advertising to create demand for it. This then leads us to wonder what benefit is being served by both creating this product and the demand for it; Galbraith argues that we've essentially fetishized economic growth at all costs (a holdover, in his view, from the early days of econ which was concerned with our metaphorical bread making instead of our metaphorical advertised widget making). He then attacks planned obsolescence as the dumbest outcrop of this process, because now we're purposefully wasting materials on things which we hope to replace in the near future for no reason other than to keep making the things, things which we don't need anyway - as evidenced by the fact that they're advertised.

Anyway I think this fits in perfectly with the whole influencer economy phenomenon, because that's literally all they do. Their raison d'etre is to generate demand for items nobody needs or even previously knew about.

The info could be used by volunteers such as NGOs with a 4x4 rescue team. I have a friend in such an org and they help a lot of naïve people who get stuck in the mud/snow. He got into the NGO by getting stuck and being pulled out by another volunteer. I was with him and another guy when that occured. They should be able to help "I'm cold" and other less severe cases. They always cooperate with authorities (police, gendarmerie, fire dept) and the cooperation goes both ways. Also keep in mind that there's a very thin line between "I'm cold" and potentialy deadly hypothermia.
All depends on context.

One could say that:

However, that's not accurate. It's an incomplete take based on a fragment of the data. It's a matter of data presentation and sympathy/empathy with your audience (IMHO).
This sounds more like a case of an ambitious dummy being prodded into being a stooge that leaks IP rather than purposeful espionage on his part.

I find the 20-based counting system cute. I like it. In Belgian French they dropped it, but to my ear "septante", "huitante", and "novante" sound weird!

Yes.
Knowing, acknowledging and accounting for one's own biases is just good science.

You wouldn't use a thermometer that was always 10C too high to measure and reports temperatures, without pointing out that the thermometer has a 10C bias, would you? Why would you oppose introspection about oneself and one's own potential biases in knowledge production?

Yeah I've used that in the past on Android and it's been very sketchy. The app will seemingly let the map expire and if I don't remember to check every time I go up to the mountains where I need it I'll usually get stuck without a working up to date map. It also doesn't seem to hold that many POI locations so I'm stuck just navigating to the right town and hoping I get signal eventually to find the actual place I'm going. OSMAnd+ however just keeps the data even if it's older so I'll always have at least some street data.
Yeah, I can see how this would be easier if you work from home, but you could explain that you are running a long lived experiment on yourself. Then again, that doesn't exactly scream "I am fully sane" :)

Show HN: Managed WebSocket without vendor lockin
While I was building Neeyer (https://neeyer.com), a location based social app, which I'll do another post later. I found it hard to find a managed Websocket service without vendor lock-in. So I built myws.dev and been using it for my app.

I know this is something I'd use myself (and I AM using it). So I hope this helps you too focus on your own app instead of infrastructure.
Socrates on writing (verbally, as Socrates famously didn't write anything himself):

"For this invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them. You have invented an elixir not of memory, but of reminding; and you offer your pupils the appearance of wisdom, not true wisdom, for they will read many things without instruction and will therefore seem to know many things, when they are for the most part ignorant and hard to get along with, since they are not wise, but only appear wise."

It's a lot like what people say now about the internet, Google etc.
> As rows are inserted, updated, and deleted in the database, the cache is kept up-to-date in real-time, just like a read replica. No TTLs, no invalidation logic, and no caching infrastructure to maintain.

This is so freaking neat. Caching is one of the harder things to get consistently right and even if this was a tool that had TTLs+API to invalidate it would be cool but not even having to worry about that is even better.

PlanetScale continues to be an awesome service that lets you not worry about your DB and instead focus on your application.

My only wish for PlanetScale would be a few more (lower) tiers. Their free tier is very generous but has a few little things (like more than 1 dev/prod branch) that aren't supported and I always feel antsy about not having a prod-like DB for qa/staging. I normally use 3 branches and the free plan only supports 2, which I think changed, I thought I used more than 1 dev branch before I started paying.

I have a very burst-y application (it's for events, so it ramps up a few months before the event, then is crazy for 2-7 days during, then usage drops to pretty much 0 for the next ~9 months), I'd love to lower my costs for those 9 months (I could look into downgrading to the free plan but I'd rather pay just a little less and have my quotas drop accordingly). In the end PlanetScale is still worth it for me at $360/yr so I'm not complaining too much. For smaller projects I just worry about using the PS free tier since if I go over those limits the jump is steep ($0->$30/mo), that said I might be overthinking it.
This sounds like the premise for a good zombie movie.
> One car length is way more than 15 feet to my mind, probably 40 feet or more

Cars in your area are on average 40 feet long?

A car length is about the length of an average car.

Either way, with a 40 foot "car length", 1-2 car lengths is then ~80 feet. The above stopping distance chart puts a 40mph stopping distance with reaction time at almost 140 feet. <80 feet away is driving way too close at 40mph! Especially for a car you know is doing a maneuver which could result in them braking suddenly such as turning into another field of traffic.
Expecting thousands of people to all agree that a huge change is a good idea, is kinda ridiculous though.
Eventually absolutely yes.
a very fair point, we do usually say that our main (possible) competition are the "traditional" data lakes! We've spent 4+ years designing this system to be specifically resolving the issue for unstructured AI data like videos, images, audio (and multimodal datasets, like the ones used to train models like Stable Diffusion, for instance).

Our main competitive advantage against the players you've mentioned is just that - our bet is that Deep Learning will overtake traditional BI workflows (especially with >90% of data generated today being unstructured), and we've been preparing for it. Traditional "BI datalakes" are pretty inefficient when it comes to storing the data specifically for deep learning workflows. They currently also lack an entire suite of key features (visualization for those data types, query engine based on tensors, etc.) to be able to successfully convince the potential users.

As a matter of fact, we're seeing not only adoption from AI-first companies/startups who are building their infrastructure from the ground up, but mature companies who are hitting the limits of the traditional setups.

Keeping that in mind, we're working on making the onboarding for such companies much easier, so their cost of switching to a more efficient/performant setup is much lower.

As for Databricks specifically, we see them more as a complement, rather than a competitor.

Poles smuggled out a complete first-model Enigma machine, performed the cryptanalysis that revealed its core weakness, and also created the first of the "bombe" machines used for most of the decryptions.

Bletchley Park acted as central clearinghouse for intercepted ciphertexts, distributing decryptions with elaborate care to keep the Germans from knowing Enigma had been cracked. Late in the war, they built an electronic gadget called Colossus to decrypt traffic from a much more difficult version of Enigma.
Fedora software is typically newer. I enjoy using it over Ubuntu, but my work experience kind of influenced me to be more comfortable with Fedora over Ubuntu or others. It just works well for me, but that could be my years of using it.
Great idea. However always recording is a disadvantage for me.

That’s a valid outlook and you’re free to do so, but we’ve seen enough scammers throughout history to know that simply having a good viewpoint does not mean much.

Remember that countless figures in the present day project great morals, progressive viewpoints, or socially conscious viewpoints, who turn out to be horrible people.

Even the Jeffrey Epsteins of the world project plenty of agreeable philosophies and worldviews.

Personally I am interested in a persons character, not that they speak about stuff I happen to agree with.

On the topic of Alameda, to pretend Caroline was not part of the scam loop is to remove her agency as a person who is at the head of an organization. She knowingly propagated this behavior, got rich off it, and continued it.

Actually "marea" means "tide" in Italian and also Spanish - from which I guess the alternative Spanish meaning evolved: "tide" -> "sea" -> "seasick" -> "sick"?

I think it depends massively on how much it costs the company to provide. If it's just a chip and a bit more software I think companies will include it. It's not clear from the press reports if the money Apple spent on building up base stations for this are just for them or if the satellite providers could use them for other companies phones.
Thanks for your comment. We don't want to only base our research on Kùzu but instead are focused on implementing Kùzu seriously and support actual users. so expect a few but not many papers these upcoming years.

Also not sure what techniques you had in mind, but our position is that graph dbms's should be built on relational principles and state-of-the-art analytics data management techniques (e.g., that's why Kùzu is a columnar system). but we have many new techniques (e.g., factorization, new join algorithms, new storage designs) that are all optimized for graph data with a lot of many-to-many connections between nodes/entitites. these techniques are optimized for finding patterns over such data. we wrote about prototype implementations of these techniques over many previous research papers and now we are focusing on implementing them very seriously in Kùzu.

Hope this clarifies a bit. Welcome to share more of your opinions in more details.
No, thank you. But there are many awesome ones. And many that have been active since I joined... in 1996. When I left high school, I made friends on IRC. Many are my closest friends to this day.

Oof, I can't get used to having to type '' to make one ', "" to make one ", `` to make one `, in the shell, in $EDITOR, etc. It's too painful. So I switch layouts as needed, and I hate it. Compose keys would be so much better!
SBF was not a "Biden Campaign Donor" - he donated to various Democratic candidates and PAC's. You also neglect to mention that FTX's Co-CEO (Ryan Salame) donated $23MM to GOP candidates/PAC's and was the 10th largest GOP donor in the Midterms.

As far as the DOJ goes - they are already "looking into SBF" and if you honestly don't believe he will go to jail for a very, very long time then I have some waterfront real estate in Nebraska that I'd like to sell you...

Nobody cares about talk. Everybody lies when they have financial motive to do so and everyone who deals with accidents professionally knows this. That said, insurance companies care deeply about hard to falsify (i.e. anything better than heresay) evidince that show that their customer was not the cause of the loss (dashcam video, surveillance footage, 3rd party witness statements, etc) because the profitability of their business depends in large part on claims payouts.

A car length is, literally, the length of a car. It does not vary with speed.
