Yeah I’m not gonna put Tesla on a pedestal for class leading active driver assist by any measure lol.

Subaru specifically punches above their weight in terms of safety per dollar and given their close relationship with Toyota I could see them being similar.
Retropie Setup Notes
Ask HN: Are there any scientific studies on good project management?
We've all heard about how management philosophies like Agile don't work, and there are tons of stories online about how many companies and teams are dysfunctional and how many projects end up late and over budget.

So that made me wonder... is there any real scientific research into the proper way to lead a team or run a project? Like, with actual findings about how people work most efficiently together and how companies 'should' be run?

What are the relevant research papers about this topic?
I think its just a bit of a crapshoot with hardware. I'm running Mint right now and I love it, but hardware support isn't perfect:

- My AMD zen4 CPU still isn't fully supported by Mint's shipping kernel (5.15.0-56). It works today (including sleep states). But it took a month or two to get a kernel which supported sleep states correctly. And I still can't see CPU or motherboard temperatures.

- My keyboard and mouse don't work over bluetooth. I think its the vendors' fault, but I bet they'd both work fine work on macos or windows.

- My speakers randomly get all garbled and weird sometimes. I've figured out running `sudo killall pulseaudio` fixes it (until next time).

- I like using Apple's "magic touchpad". But the driver is nowhere near as good as Apple's. Sensitivity is all wrong in linux. It registers accidental light touches as clicks sometimes, and it just feels janky. And application support for smooth scrolling is all over the place - some apps support it perfectly and others (Firefox, IntelliJ) interpret any tiny single pixel scroll on the touchpad as a multi-line scroll. I've reverted to using a traditional mouse.

That said, some things have been a delight. My old AMD 480 graphics card worked perfectly out of the box, with no configuration required. When I upgraded out my motherboard and CPU a few months ago, the computer booted just fine with no reconfiguration or anything. It just took it all in stride. (I've still never seen windows handle that so well.)

I'm not surprised some people have no problems with desktop linux. But YMMV.
I didn’t find the metaverse stuff to be a compelling motivation for the programming language features described. It felt to me more like ‘I had some ideas about programming languages after 20+ years of Haskell and research. Here’s my plan to unify logic programming with more normal functional programming (also we’re getting rid of monads). By the way my boss cares about the metaverse.’ But maybe that is too cynical.

The metaverse things used to motivate this language don’t seem new to me either. Aren’t they basically ‘works well with concurrency’ and ‘somehow the language that finally makes it easy for different programs written by different people to talk to each other’ which don’t seem to be new goals in programming language design as far as I’m aware. But maybe I’m being uncharitable in my interpretation.

I’ve not looked at the associated paper or tried to understand what the metaverse is so maybe things are better discussed there. Or maybe they are glossed over because the presentation was for PLT people rather than metaverse people and I think many of the former would be turned off by a talk about the metaverse.

This doesn’t strike me as a very serious attempt to predict the future and design a programming language based on that prediction (though few such attempts exist for the design of most things in tech, and they needn’t correspond to success). It seems more like taking a punt and exploring a new point in the programming language design space that may be relevant.

I think it is interesting to look at what happened with Fortress for comparison:

- Well known PLT person (Guy Steele of scheme, CL, Java fame) in a reasonably funded industrial research lab

- they started with ideas about where computers were going around 20 years ago. So high core counts, big memory vs cpu frequency divergence, NUMA/HPC architectures. And an increasingly difficult amount of legacy Fortran code

- developed an idea for a language that would be easier to write parallel scientific programs in

- eg functional, map-reduce paradigm

- added in some known features like typeclasses (monads for map reduce)

- some other random features/ideas

- wrote a bunch of papers

- not that much actually came of it, I think

Maybe they weren’t good at executing on making a language people wanted, or maybe that was never the goal. Or maybe they were too early – a lot of the ideas became more important with gpu compute but most people still write those programs at a much lower level.
I see your point and I agree, this would be a great improvement compared to all my 'wip' commits.

Twitter now has billions in debt that it has to service and has lost half of their top 100 advertisers. Their plan to sell an 8$ subscription won't have the reach or ability to service that debt, and while layoffs were necessary to cut costs, doing it in such a classless and unorganized way opens them to serious site reliability issues going forward (they were even down a bit today, for example). I don't see this playing out well to be honest.

The largest of American mines are no longer even owned by US companies!

That may not be a concern to many, but keep in mind that for the entirety of mining in the US, these companies have had devastating effect on the ecology and local resources, such as water (possibly the single greatest commodity in the future dystopia of earth).
The authoritarian impulse is fundamentally about controlling the behavior of others, whereas the impulse for liberty is to control your own behavior. As we continue to drift towards authoritarianism, there are many people cheering this on, revealing their true affinities. You see this with people exuberant for restrictions of cash transactions, joyous at censorship and control over communications media, exuberance over other types of social policing, etc.

The new car market is also probably contributing. I just bought a house and sold my hybrid for a Tacoma. I walked into a dealership lot to buy a '20 with 40k miles on it. I left with a brand new Tacoma with zero miles and a better package for $10k less. I was able to do this because the dealership needs to move inventory to get new cars from Toyota and hybrids are very in demand.

That's quite a one-sided viewpoint. Kievan Rus was founded by Rurikids who were Scandinavians originally based in Novgorod (now Russia). According to the Nestor's chronicle, Kiev basically became the capital after Oleg of Novgorod (a Rurikid) killed local princes Askold and Dir. Age of Kiev has nothing to do with it. 1000 years ago there was no "civilized Ukrainians vs non-civilized Russians" argument, it was just a bunch of equally civilized East Slavic tribes conquered by Norsemen. Novgorod's birch bark documents and other artifacts show that Novgorod was influenced by Scandinavia more than it was by Kiev. There are several times more references to Novgorod in Scandinavian sagas than there are to Kiev. Novgorod also participated in the Hanseatic league. It was more complex and multi-faceted than what you describe.

Experimental psychology and economics are not normal among the social sciences. Having a hypothesis and testing it, as experimental psychologists do, is not present in any other field of social science. Neither is the mathematical rigor that some fields of economics apply.

These fields are the "physics" of social science. Most of the rest of the social sciences involves very little science (the process) or math.
The Dangerous Online Cult of 1,200 Calories
For me, the surprising part was learning how many Russian people I know have parents or grandparents who were born in Ukraine.

I knew that Soviet Ukraine had ~50 million people. Almost 20% of the USSR, and a bit less than France, Italy, or the UK at the time. I knew that Ukraine was one of the most developed and densely populated parts of the USSR, and of the Russian Empire before that. I had some idea how the borders had moved over time, and how the cultural boundaries were ambiguous as a consequence. I just had not realized how often that ambiguity would show at individual level.

> I assume you are talking about the monetary theory of inflation, MV=PY? I've never met an economist that thinks it tells the whole story. John Cochrane(a world class economist) is in the process of writing a new book that covers inflation, and he doesn't think he has all the answers.

Okay. But your position is that we know nothing about inflation. Which simply isn’t true.

Since you’re name dropping John Cochrane (I don’t subscribe to said individual, but you seem to respect them): https://www.johnhcochrane.com/research-all/fiscal-inflation from an essay: “The future is not hopeless. Inflation control simply requires our government, including the central bank, to understand classic lessons of history. Forestalling inflation is a joint task of fiscal, monetary, and micro-economic policy. Stabilizing inflation once it gets out of control is a joint task of fiscal, monetary, and micro-economic policy. Expectations are “anchored” if people believe such policy is in place, and politicians and Fed officials are ready to act if needed.”

That doesn’t read like inflation is some vast, major unknown.

What I think you’re saying is that our knowledge and models of inflation are imperfect, therefore we can’t say with certainty that UBI will cause inflation.

Which is essentially the same as “I don’t know.”

> You and the rest of the "we" in your sentence needs to publish some academic papers informing the rest of us, as we clearly didn't get the memo.

I asked a question; you provided non-answer; when you push the SS narrative I posit why SS is a poor analogy.

Trump’s covid payment is far closer to UBI.

> It's just a different form of a tax, perhaps it's sold to the people differently enough that they think of it the way you think of it, but it doesn't change the economics any. Taxes pay for it just like taxes would pay for a UBI.

I’m pointing out that SS is nothing like UBI, unless you’re saying that UBI is also meant for a subset of the population.

I’m well aware of the dent it makes in my paycheck.
I am curious to know whether this Western perception was supported or opposed by the Soviet state. They have definitely “prioritized” Russian culture internally, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this conflation was at least in part created by the Soviets.
It is inevitable that more people will be able to exert more control over their reproduction. I agree that this is likely to amplify the human tribalism that already causes so many problems. I still don't see how that inevitably leads to “20th century eugenics” nor why we should discourage or fear research.
Unworkable? Absolute poppy cock.

"Some people may find it confusing" and "unworkable" are two radically different things.

Dual-boot would largely "just work". Is having two independent file systems ideal? Definitely not. It's just a starting point. It could be made better. However the naive version of dual-boot unlocks radical new capabilities. Because iOS is still super gimped.

I'd add to that:
- Sensitivity to environmental conditions (current batteries only really work well at around room temperature, which isn't realistic real world outside)
- Energy density (huge weight of the thing vs. the energy it has)
It matters maybe to CEO's who want to squeeze their own companies in a similar manner.

But saying they are running well with the head count down is just not known.

Are the people who remain all killing themselves to keep everything running? If so that is not sustainable.

Are systems running in spite of the down headcount, or really because of all the work done by those long fired?

And hate/spam is known to be going up. So they are at least not covering that.

He had money to run that company for years at a 4M burn rate but chose not to. He chose to fire people like a petulant child. And illegally in European countries.

Hopefully everyone sees it for what it is, he is an embarrassment of a CEO.
> Lots of disdain for Cogent on this thread, and very little comments about HE effectively having much the same business model as Cogent: sell pipes as cheap as possible, run them as hot (full) as possible, care little about performance implications.

I'm sorry, but how is the quality of HE's performance in any way relevant to the issue of Cogent refusing to follow industry norms for settlement-free / equal cost-sharing peering? Cogent isn't refusing to peer with HE (and Google btw) because of latency/loss. Cogent is notorious for trying to squeeze every penny out of other networks through peering, HE is the exact opposite.
> Windows now feels like a product built "by committee"

Since Windows 10, it definitely feels more like a Linux distribution than a polished, paid product. A hodgepodge of garbage with differing (and sometimes opposite) UI paradigms, incentives and terrible quality.

This is something we tolerate in the Linux world because it's all done by mostly unpaid random people with different goals, skill levels and opinions, but seeing this from a huge, for-profit company that produces masterpieces such as Windows 7 is ridiculous.
It's the opposite for me with astigmatism. Black text on white tends to blur or double into a grey blob, white text on black still sometimes does that, but I find it easier to parse in comparison.

> (call-in-continuation cont proc obj …)

First, just some context, to be sure I've got my facts straight:

'call/cc' allows you to capture the continuation which invokes it. That continuation is represented as a procedure passed into a unary function. That function usually uses 'set!' to export the continuation into a broader scope before returning an initial value to call/cc's caller. Later, invoking that continuation with a value tosses your current continuation and returns you to the call-site of call/cc, where the call/cc form now returns to it's caller again but with the provided value.

In contrast, 'call-in-continuation' takes a procedure and some arguments. It tosses the current continuation, returning to the call-site of call/cc, but then instead of returning a supplied value directly to call/cc's caller, it returns the result of evaluating the given procedure (applying it to any other supplied arguments) here at the call/cc call-site.

Supplied arguments are evaluated before returning to the continuation, just like when invoking the continuation itself with some values.

Mirroring the example from Guile's docs[1]:

(define kont #f)
(let ((x 1))
(format #t "the return is ~a\n"
(call/cc (lambda (k)
(set! kont k)
(1+ x)))))
⇒ the return is 2

(kont 3)
⇒ the return is 3

(kont (+ x 3))
⇒ Unbound variable: x

(kont (lambda () (+ x 3))
⇒ the return is #<procedure 1d823a8 at <unknown port>:5:6 ()>

(call-in-continuation kont (lambda () (+ x 3)))
⇒ the return is 4

(call-in-continuation kont (lambda (y) (+ x y)) 4)
⇒ the return is 5

No programming language is obvious to someone who doesn't know any programming. This particular example is even less clear because it's purely abstract; it literally doesn't do anything.

If it were

suit := (clubs | diamonds| hearts | spades);
value:= (2..10 | J | Q | K | A);
deck := card(suit, value)

You would recognize it instantly.

That's exactly pfdietz's complaint. NASA employs the same types of humans SpaceX does. If reusability was a design constraint they would have solved it like SpaceX did. But they didn't consider it a priority or even a goal to make regular moon travel feasible so they continue throwing away billions with such limited impact.
It's the same as thinking about if one day you wake up and realize that your dog is not conscious. I, for one, would feel that something was lost. We want writers and painters and conscious beings on the other side of these pieces that give us meaning. If we find out that they weren't there at all, if when an author says: 'I was sick to my stomach,' it was a lie, then that art would lose value. At least in my eyes.

And, ethically, artists should disclose whether or not they used these technologies.
All that is fine, but it's extremely subjective and relies on other people sharing your subjective opinion on art. You're likely to find a lot of artists who sympathize with you, but the general public would probably side with whichever creation is more evocative. In that sense, I'd argue that unconscious media has been the status-quo since the late 90s. It's the meta for the current "creator class" that seeks audience on TikTok and Twitter.

Artists will always exist, but the mechanical process of creating art is currently being sublimated. That's more-or-less what AI synthesis is doing in all fields.
It's been a few years, but the main references I remember using:

1. Windows: https://github.com/frankmorgner/vsmartcard/tree/master/virtu..., which is a fix-up of the older https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/134010/An-UMDF-Driver-f..., and https://github.com/Watfaq/SoftU2F-Win/tree/master/SoftU2FDri.... Note that neither of these actually implement CTAP2.

2. Linux: There's plenty to refer to on HID gadgets, but https://blog.hansenpartnership.com/webauthn-in-linux-with-a-... and the code at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/fido2-c... were my entrypoint and cover the whole idea of WebAuthn in software.

3. Mac: I ended up not implementing a Mac version, but GitHub themselves used to support a CTAP1/U2F software authenticator, now archived at https://github.com/github/SoftU2F. I was going to work from that.

For the service I looked at different software "devices" interfacing with these kinds of drivers (or just the browser directly in Firefox's case).

1. Generic NIST SP 800-73 PIV: https://github.com/CCob/PIVert. Very limited scope, pentest tool with no extraneous features. It uses the BixVReader driver.

2. U2F: Just the corresponding driver repos I think.

3. CTAP2: Firefox Soft Token code, https://github.com/ellerh/softfido, https://github.com/bulwarkid/virtual-fido (the one you found).
