Going mechanical engineering in the U.S. is such an incredibly poor ROI at this point, it’s ridiculous. My observations have led me to believe MBAs presume everything can be outsourced to India or Soviet satellites.

Unsure of where that’s going to lead us, but I know a lot of salty MechE’s who genuinely wanted to be MechE’s for whatever reasons they had, but just can’t pass up the salary increase to be had in… other lines of work - including being a simple handyman plumber.

It does exactly this because I also thought this was a critical limitation of current systems.

I have a feature coming out soon (already merged to master but I need to make a proper release) which should make it way easier to use with Markdown files acting as the front and back of flashcards that are automatically picked up when starting up the program.

IRCTC does not generally have much pii, except for adressess, phones, email. Aadhar can be linked but that on its own is not useful. Moreover a lot of accounts are burner accounts so the data is likely to be fake.

CPU/GPU processing power is clearly making steady progress and looks like it will continue. Yet nobody thinks we will be able to brute-force 2048-bit RSA with the best sieve techniques even if the progress continues for 100 years.

It is clearly not sufficient just to have some measure of growth to achieve some goal. It is necessary to have the growth actually matter compared to a measure of the problem difficulty. I would argue for self-driving cars as in Level 4/5 autonomy, nobody even has any useful measure or understanding of the problem difficulty.

It's really easy to understand the autonomous driving levels. It's also really easy to understand the Kardashev scale. It might just turn out that both are of equally little practical relevance in our lifetimes.

I know this is a boring situation, but there is no guarantee the universe shouldn't be boring.

People would probably die if I was an actual engineer, so I'm deeply appreciative that I can enjoy infrastructure and whatnot without having to worry about it crumbling above/beneath me.
At least 70% of techies will probably be way happier if you do this. I don't like seeing things that aren't boring in real production, but there are other uses like promos and demos.

I don't care much about the low tech analog aspect, but I'd participate just as a social thing, although I'd be much more interested in the creative side than the retro tech, so I think it's important to not have the project purely tech-focused, so as to not leave out the people who aren't primarily motivated by ideas and abstractions like most devs.

I understand the doom and gloom mindset, it feels good to air some frustrations.

But you need to eradicate that mindset entirely. You should expect to collect social security. Period. And when this right comes under threat, you should fiercely defend it. Protest, unionize, become politically active. And as a starter, start showing up when there's something to vote on.

This lame attitude of "everything's shit and going to get worse, ah well" is absolutely ideal for those in power to strip you bare. Don't make it so easy for them.
Care to elaborate? Do you have any advice?

This made me think of the joke "mechanical engineers build weapons and civil engineers build targets" in the context of ethics - of course it's a lot more than that in practice
Yes. That's required. I think they meant that the program uses those relationships to automatically advance the student to the next topic when it makes sense.
This is not the case, I have used date pickers on desktop that were equally atrocious. Granted they were implemented in JS, so not a problem with the browser rendering but still, if we are talking about design here, the designers of those interactive elements need a stern talking to as well.

I think the majority of HN readers seem to be American, so the costs are drastically different where births can be 10s of thousands of dollars, even with insurance. That’s why I brought it up.

Any country that does free childbirth and ambulance rides and appointments with doctors and specialists, I would suggest has an excellent healthcare system, even if not perfect.
I don’t think doing it for the entire country is even a goal for these AV only companies. For trucking theyll HD map the highways. For city center taxi service HD maps and remote assistance are fine.
If the 5.1k pull-down resistors are missing on the device side, it will not charge from a USB-C wall brick, laptop, etc. in either orientation, but it will work fine when charging from a USB-A outlet with a USB-A to USB-C cable. This is because USB-C outlets are not permitted to provide any power until they detect the presence of a "legacy" device that just wants 5v (as signaled by the pull-down resistors on the device).

The opinion isn't arrogant because opinions can't really be arrogant, it's the context they're presented in which gives off the impression. I probably took what you wrote more seriously than my reply merited, but I do have an impression reading comments on this site that some people overwhelmingly lean in certain directions regarding such topics, they are essentially prejudiced. What you say next I think shows you have a nice sense of humility :)

I definitely agree personally that "Don't tell someone is just wrong because they think 2 + 2 = 5 and you think 2 + 2 = 4." I think that's the fair way to go about things. But I'd also like to add on to your point about math, that those those sorts of truths seem to be separate from the world of experience in some way while the "truth" about consciousness, if you subscribe to values of strict physicalism, must be derived and exclusively reside with the world of experience. By that I mean if there even exists some point at which people arrive at a near-perfect scientific description of consciousness, before we converge to that point we dwell heavily in a discourse rooted by the inherit distortions of experience: faulty methods, faulty equipment, cultural trends, fads and biases in the field, etc...

Appeals then to anything but clear explications verified by probably the one of the if not the most important mountain of results people for some reason are expecting, mostly resemble opinion I think, but that's alright, opinion is good I wouldn't discount it.

Nope, the incentives don't work like that.

What moves him into probable deception for me is that he wasn’t just repeatedly wrong about everything of substance but that his errors were always aligned with something which made him money. Botching the methodology on the paper you’re using to argue for removing safeguards is bad but it’s worse not to mention that you were funded by one of the industries affected.

I would consider it something which didn’t happen to him. Being blocked from trending based on his history of bad advice may not be something you like but it‘s nowhere near deplatforming unless you’re defining that term as meaning that you don’t get free promotion.
This feels like a cop out.

Like sure, you can just do the math and get results and not worry about it. But what's the motivation here?

When you get down to it, he seems to believe many-worlds is true, BUT holds the philosophical position that you shouldn't, like, care. Because there's no practical benefit to caring; because it doesn't help you with the calculations.

But, hey, I still care! What the real nature of reality is is an interesting question! It's fun & satisfying to think about, even if has no direct physical practical implications. Plus, it can certainly have psychological implications, dramatically impacting how we feel about the things that have happened to us and life in general.

I wonder if self-driving doesn't actually require reasoning, though. Most of us are able to drive instinctively, without fully engaging all of our attention; we certainly aren't solving problems with deep analytical thinking.

Another factor is the ease with which someone can be self-employed. It's much easier to sustain a 1 person handyman than mechanical engineering business. (I wouldn't call it "simple" though personally)
Edit: if being self employed is appealing for the individual.
Yeah I think you make good points.

> IMO it's even more meaningless if we attempt to test for these before defining precisely what we mean by these terms, since otherwise passing is a subjective measure.

This what I think is the beauty of the Turing test because trying to agree on a definition for consciousness, sentience, understanding, etc.. is futile. The Turing test says who cares about those definitions, instead look at whether a computer in general conversation is indistinguishable from a human. Because that’s really what matters.

I think you have misinterpreted my comment.

Of course Tesla uses real world data. My claim is that their self driving system it not end-to-end. That is, it's not "just" a neural network that takes sensor data as input and gives steering/accelerator/brake commands as output.

They take in data from all their sensors, fuse it together, and create a real-time virtual copy of the world. They do planning inside this virtual copy of the real world. This has been demonstrated in many Tesla presentations. The FSD visualization on the screen of the Tesla is itself a depiction of the virtual world being constructed from the sensor data.

The article is great - a visual that explains SRS in one single graph near the top of the page is a great proof that the article is solid.

No, what Krebs said was "So it's Dec. 27, and I still haven't heard anything from Experian." In other words, they haven't even responded to his report.
If can dismiss what he said because it's one data point then we can dismiss the original argument altogether.
The answer depends on your culture and worldview. Is it more individualistic - or communal?

For some people, there are literal geniuses/die-hards/quacks that changed the industry/tooling/mindset.

For other people, they believe there are no 10x engineers and society as a whole is always to credit.
How RISC-V Timer Interrupts Work
> 1) Cite an example of his statements used in “Russian propaganda

This article discusses the interplay: https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/10/13/musk-carlson-trump-midt...

> (as if that’s even his fault anyways)

Maybe if this were 2016, but how Russian propaganda works and the role prominent/influential Westerners play in reinforcing Russia's narratives is (or should be) well known to highly connected and influential people like Musk.

When you say "X", and then "X" is used by a genocidal regime to support their war of choice, maybe it's time to stop saying "X".

> 2) He said they should negotiate a peace and end the war, which is correct. This was in the context of preventing the escalation to nuclear weapons which would be a disaster unseen since WWII.

The geopolitical stalemate that has staved off nuclear war since the Cold War era has been MAD - mutually assured destruction. The idea that anyone should cede territory to an invading nuclear power at the mere threat of using nukes is to abandon MAD entirely. In this new framework, any country with nuclear capabilities will be emboldened to wage conventional war, and they can be comfortable knowing that if they disrupt western life enough and threaten the end of the planet with nuclear Armageddon, they don't risk any retaliation by the West whatsoever. In fact, quite the opposite, the West will be happy to capitulate under the guise of "peace". But really all that has happened is that bullies are empowered to bully.

If Putin gets what he wants in Ukraine by threatening nuclear war, what happens when Putin turns toward Moldova and starts threatening them? If Putin is appeased, what stops him from demanding more? Does Putin just get whatever he wants now, as long as he threatens to use his nukes?

Putin doesn't need to be placated to deter him from using nukes. It needs to be made clear to him (and all Russians) that Russia will be vaporized in the case Putin uses nukes against Ukraine. That is the deterrence.

> 3) Twitter was extremely corrupt at pretty much every level, and his “Twitter files” only showed what we all knew was happening

The Twitter Files show you what Musk wants you to see. Case in point: Musk released the tweets that Biden wanted taken down (actually although he had them, Musk didn't release theml we had to track them down using the Internet Archive) but won't release the tweets the Trump admin wanted taken down. It's no wonder you conclude corruption, when you're being sold half the story. Selective disclosure and narrative building have been the hallmark of the Twitter Files. Ask yourself: if the point is transparency and exposure, why isn't all the data available for anyone to peruse?
1. Of course I don't argue for getting rid of penicillin. Each invention has its own merits and each should be debated separately without making an analogy to another.

2. I am not personally worried about being made obsolete. I can code just fine and have extensive coding experience, and I can do a lot of other things as well. Nonetheless, I am still opposed to it. My opinion is just that we should slow down, examine how disruptive AI can be.

3. I only ask that we be more cautious towards technology. Currently our modus operandi is invent and release anything, as long as it makes money, which I think is crazy.
I don't think you're wrong, but when considering the impacts of a plastic road outside my house I think I'd be worried about, in order:

1. Getting hit by a car

2. Health impacts of car exhaust

3. Microplastics coming off the cars themselves (https://www.wired.com/story/microplastic-san-francisco-bay/)

4. Microplastics from the road

Also, while it certainly wouldn't surprise me if plastic roads produce more microplastics than plastic landfills, I wouldn't take it as given. Landfills aren't frozen in time, stuff degrades and gets blown around by wind, and I have no idea how the process of making a road affects the plastics and their capacity to degrade.

Not really, fear of the ruler has little to do with the longevity of dprk. Support and protection by China are the only reason that government still exists.

Given the gravity of the issue and the supposed standing of the vendor, 3 days should be plenty time to at least respond -- working days or not.

Additionally, Krebs has stated that Experian has yet another glaring security issue. He's not saying exactly how to do it, or dropping POC in the post.

Given the size and importance of Experian, there's nothing wrong with pointing out this issue, especially when after 4 days they can't even acknowledge an issue this serious.

Krebs stating a vulnerability exists, is more responsible than not disclosing it -- given their importance, and history of security screw-ups, the people have a right to know.
Can you explain what you mean by "productivity and value bigot?"

In my mind productivity and value generation are major virtues that benefit the doer and society, big "bigot" has a negative connotation and I don't understand how it goes together.
Blockchain's latest financial use case: Securitizing bank debt
Thanks and hats off to all people doing useful work everywhere. From store clerks to firefighters, from office administrators to CEOs of companies providing useful products/services at a large scale. We need each other.

On the topic of engineering specifically, yes engineers build reliable complex systems that make the world livable. Software engineers also build the invisible bits that runs the digital infrastructure of the world. Everyone counts.
It's not that they necessarily need true reasoning. It would just be extremely beneficial, because that's what every human driver already has built-in (although exercised to varying degrees of success).

What about an axe that falls off the landscaping truck in front of you? Or a mattress? Or a harmless styrofoam cooler? The self-driving car does not know what those things are, but suddenly there is <something> in the air that will likely collide with you. The computer is going to be unable to predict how the mattress or the axe or the styrofoam will fly through the air, it can only decide to take abrupt, evasive action. It is also unaware that the person behind the car has been periodically looking down at their phone instead of watching the road, so an abrupt swerve or stop may still cause an accident. A sensible human driver would realize they are taking on additional risk by following such a truck and/or remaining in front of the distracted driver, and maybe decide to change lanes safely. The car's pretend AI has no idea of any of these things until something falls off and it has to react. We'll praise it when it gets it right--ooooh how ingenious! And the apologists will claim "there's no way it could have made a perfect decision--look how many other times it gets it right!" when it fails. And the realists will conclude "ha, stupid computer, told ya so".
Unintentionally, this exemplifies why Russia will always be a second-rate power. For it's internal politicking it has to reference art (Tolkien) from the English speaking world. This is a self-own.
