Generalizations about culture are different than generalizations about race, but conversations using generalization are still dangerous because they can be misconstrued to apply to all or to the race rather than culture. India is really a bunch of different cultures all in a sub-continent.

Isn't the primary motivation of HOV lanes to reduce traffic, not help the environment?
When I interviewed with them 2-3 years ago, I recall being told that while the goal was to automate shipping, 95% of their shipping was being done with humans and human processes (due to the complex and irregular nature of shipping).

I would expect that a global reduction in shipping traffic would mean needing fewer of these people internally; so I suspect that's the bulk of the 20% reduction group.

You’re probably right, but I did watch my freezer plugged into a kill-a-watt for a while, and even when the compressor first kicked on, I never saw anything higher than 35W. Maybe the kill-a-watt is inaccurate, or maybe it doesn’t update fast enough, I’m not sure. Another factor, too: it doesn’t have any sort of auto defrost.

> I read somewhere (don't remember where) that if a ship constantly accelerates in space, it can reach another star system in a few decades and another galaxy in less than a century.

The problem is, it also has to slow down and stop at the destination. To do that, it would have to take all the deceleration fuel with it, and the amount of fuel needed goes up exponentially with the amount of deceleration required.[1] There’s no known or even theoretical form of propulsion with the specific impulse needed to get us to the next star system in under 600 years.

This is really very wrong. Human beings create exactly this kind of accident every day. There is absolutely nothing remotely"non-human" about cutting someone off and stopping in traffic.[1] Just go check /r/idiotsincars for an hour to see much, much worse.

[1] In fact, this is so unlike FSD's behavior that I still think it's more likely that it will turn out not to have been in use at all. The only evidence at hand is one sentence in a police report that the police themselves state was unvalidated. How easy would it be to blame the car as an excuse?
Isn't it late to do such expedition? I mean the object could be small or teared down to pieces. And we have to look into ocean, it could have flown somewhere else. I mean it does not even count as futile at this point.
AFAICT, this NOTAM system is a nationwide bulletin-board, using some cryptic standard abbreviations (to save space as if they were paying 1990s SMS), usually filtered by locale/coordinates/path, so pilots have the latest news hat might affect their flight plans.

Has anyone seen exactly how many NOTAM messages are generated per day, and how long of a look-back is required?

From 50k feet, it looks like something that could be replaced with a cryptographically-authenticated massively-replicated virtual data structure that's oblivious about, and robust against all sorts of failure in, the exact systems, languages, update-paths, etc used to keep it in sync or implement any one user's view.

All that pilots need to know is: "I have a full local copy, signed by the right update-authorities, as of roughly-now."

From a glance, NOTAM's uptime this year looks worse than Ethereum, but a bit better than Solana or Binance Smart Chain.

I don’t think that would be a solution to the problem in this article. It would just concentrate the distracted drivers into one lane.
pretty incredible-looking video. wonder how they make them?

i only watched the first 30 seconds but was interested in the efficiency number i heard - the train was 3 or 4 times more efficient than a truck semi.

i would have guessed it was 30 or 40 or 300 or 400 times more efficient.
Using fusion for interstellar travel could work, but it would be extremely slow due to the low availability of fuel. Maybe it could be done for synthetic lifeforms or cryonic preservation. Generation ships and such are out of the question though.
There is a blog called, 'Do the Math' by Tom Murphy. The idea was to take our current energy requires of Earth and extrapolate it at the current 3% year over year growth. I believe it is by the year 3,400 we would use all the energy of the Milky way. The idea was to prove that we cannot grow forever, because in 1,400 years we would somehow use all the energy of a space 100,000 light years across. Good luck with that.

Space is is just so astoundingly empty. Here in Melbourne, Australia we have a scale model of the solar system.

The Sun is about the size of a Fridge. Pluto is 9KM (5.6 miles) away and the size of a pea. Walking that really puts it all into a tangible scale. And that is merely 5.5 Light hours at full scale. Space is HUGE!

"Habitable" planets are most likely worthless to any civilization capable of interstellar travel. There is plenty of material to manufacture artificial habitats in space. The only interesting thing to be found on planets like Earth is organic life.
Agreed. It seems like a great short term strategy to get out of trouble quickly but long term it doesn't seem smart to use the most ardent Tesla evangelists who are literally willing to put their lives on the line as scapegoats.

It seems the take rate of FSD for new Tesla purchases is not as high as it used to be - perhaps due to the increase in price and other Autopilot-FSD bundling/unbundling aspects - but also perhaps due to negative press from the accidents thus far. [1] Definitely something to watch as/if the accident incidents accumulate.

[1]> According to wikipedia, interstellar travel at 1G would take approximately 1 year + the distance in lightyears. Proxima Centauri (4.2 light years) for example would take 5.2 years.

This^ is from the traveller's standpoint. I am not completely sure about how long it would take from the perspective of someone on Earth. But this definitely seems plausible if we can solve the other problems with constant acceleration such as sufficient fuel and protection from interstellar dust (at close to light speed, dust would hit with unimaginable force).

Ask HN: Could Tesla produce an e-bike without cannibalizing its car/truck sales?
The train would be nice if it was a reasonable alternative, but in the US outside of very specific trips, it's usually at least twice the travel time as a car, door to door, with two drivers and maybe 10-12 hours of daily driving.

And then you've still got to manage ground transportation from wherever the train station is to wherever you want to go.

It's great if you're a container though.

Poor argument for underfunded and purposefully stymied train development in the early to mid 20th century.

Train good, car bad.
I skipped over deceleration because 1) our probes can transmit something significant about a galaxy even at that speed and 2) over time, we can probably figure out a way to decelerate using a galaxy's natural resources (similar to how we use a planet's gravity for slingshot)

Surely, given a century, our scientists will figure out something.

Then, other than pedantry, is their a meaningful difference?
I recall years ago in the mid 2000s a moderately sized US ISP that sold internet access in office buildings to mostly businesses had a rather interesting outage. They had switches (Extreme switches - known for their purple color aka Barney the dinosaur switches) in the basement or many buildings and backhauled to a colo to the rest of their network.

They were doing some mass network upgrade during the early hours maintenance window and devices weren't coming back. I don't think they had OOB access to their boxes and it requires someone going out and recovering them after hours of downtime and getting techs there.

The culprit? They downloaded the OS image using FTP and forgot to set binary mode. Various other network kit vendors I recall would do some level of validation (and anyone downloading should be checking the hash). RCA sent to customers was vague and just said it was a corrupted image / failed upgrades.
It's both. Single-person EVs could use HOV lanes in some locales until they've reached proliferation numbers.

Given its shape and size appears to have changed substantially as it passed through the solar system[1], it seems like the comet theory is the best to explain what it was. In terms of its shape, the article also suggests that was misleading and it may have been much more flat and at least one, possibly two orders of magnitude smaller than originally believed.

Typically it is something you do in addition to insurance, though there is not a one size fits all model to it. Different providers and systems offer different levels and types of it. Atlas MD in kansas is an interesting one which is aimed at average income people and offers some pharmacy and labs at heavily discounted prices. From a cost savings standpoint things like x-rays, ultrasounds, ECG/EKG, stitches, cast removal, minor in office procedures, etc, are often done at no additional cost beyond the annual price. An ECG/EKG might be as much as $400 or more against your deductible, which instead could go toward direct primary care where it would be included.

In particular if you have say a chronic condition which remains unresolved after several interactions with the general purpose health system a direct primary care doctor has the time to put towards your case on an individual basis to potentially get to the bottom of it. My experience has been that they also do a much better job at management of chronic conditions but I would really like to see some more studies done in that area.

NYTimes Story Accidentally Leaked Phone Numbers of Russian Soldiers
Perhaps we could dedicate the right most lane on every highway to becoming a train line instead of an autonomous vehicle lane?

A train can move more tonnage (see people) per unit of energy (kWhr/gallon of diesel/etc.) Than almost any other mode of transportation (gosh darn sailboats and barges being so efficient!) .

So why have 100's of electric motors and separate batteries to move people, when you can skip the batteries and have an electrified third rail and just an engine or two running a train for those hundreds of people.
it's not that it is inefficient, it is that data processing approach has to be different with lakehouses.

you can't do OLTP type workload with lakehouses - meaning updating the same value in a row million times per second, because object storage is not supposed to be used in OLTP way.
however you can easily do that with relational DB, just UPDATE the value and thats it. underlying RDBMS engine will keep memory buffers updated, will update pages automatically and keep WAL for durability.

for lakehouse the proper way is to setup streaming processing and use in-memory cache to do hot data processing, and once data cools down - write to lakehouse table (object storage) like once per batch (like once every few mins). and restart batch from the beginning in case of failure - for durability.
I agree with your original example ("good reason => OK", "bad reason => BAD"). But for the in-between we should default to "not OK" as well, since stopping on a highway is just dangerous.

But damn, I really have little sympathy for all the inattentive drivers not being able to stop in time for the pileup (and hope damages have to be payed accordingly). Maybe, Tesla FSD does not make the streets more dangerous than they already are, after all.

Background: I spend most of my time in Swift but do work in Kotlin too. Occasionally some Rust.

Swift and Kotlin are in many ways similar, but I find Swift to be a bit nicer in almost every respect. Swift has more powerful generics, tuples, structs, powerful enums that are value types, `if let`/`guard let` statements that I'll take over `?.let {}` any day, etc. Kotlin is somewhat more expression oriented, which is nice; Swift is moving in that direction too, but slowly.

A native Kotlin (I have no idea how mature it is) might be a decent alternative to high-level Rust, but I'll take Swift if it's available. It's both more pleasant to work in and I assume more performant with better access to stack allocated value types.
Cad software has lots of options now. OnShape is another one that is cheap and pretty good.
It’s too late, the Tesla fanboy subreddit has been on the FSD hate train for a while now. I’m shocked at how bad autopilot is on my Tesla, my wife’s 2018 Honda CR-V has better “autopilot” in the form of lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control, it can drive the car just like the tesla, but it’s less finicky and operates much closer to the way the writer describes a better level 2 system that monitors you instead of you monitoring it.

The tesla demands you pay attention and drive but penalizes you by disengaging if you so much as try to take a slightly different line around a curve. Meanwhile the Honda just bides it’s time until you let go and seamlessly takes control keeping you in the middle of the lane.
> "Write code. Hit run. The cloud computes."

wait, what? From my perspective, hitting "run" is a deployment step. There are plenty of platforms which allow this (write code in online IDE and deploy with one click) and they don't force me to use any new languages.
The actual solution is stronger networks and communities for "up and coming" software engineers so they can get advice for some random graybeard who gets coffee with their Comp Architecture class that 'This company is ass, you'll burn out and waste your time/energy. Go work somewhere that doesn't treat you like shit.'

Filter caps in SMPSs can cause enough fault current to flow to trip your RCD if you have enough of them. The same with MOVs for surge protection that comes standard in many devices now (they are also capacitors when below the threshold voltage). With so many devices using SMPSs and having built in surge protection, the only sensible way forward is having RCBOs instead of MCBs on individual circuits. AFAIK, this is already becoming standard in some countries.
I think the big thing is that all those original achievement don't defy physics to achieve them. It was a case of ignorance and the belief that we just were not that smart. And while there was a big period of exponential growth - there is an upper limit.

We aren't going to Galaxies in a few hundred years - the time to Andromeda is 2.5 Million Light Years. Unless we fundamentally have physics wrong, we aren't doing that any quicker no matter how hard we try.
Right, I had no problem zooming and panning on Firefox.
Well, sometimes it's because you already boarded and started to taxi and there are so many planes on the ground that there are no gates open to get back to the terminal so you spend hours on the plane waiting for a slot to open so you can get off, meanwhile the galley runs out of food/drink and the toilets fill up. Then when you finally get into the terminal, it's chaos, no one knows when planes will be flying again so you're not sure if you should stay there or try to get a hotel (which fill up quickly from all of the stranded travelers)
