> Why? I have no particular feelings for or against the JVM. It always surprises me when people get so passionate about runtimes - how much do you interact with them? They're just in the background doing their thing.

I spent a day writing Clojure after watching a bunch of talks about it. Very keen on persistent data structures.

Every time I put a foot wrong it printed a Java stack trace for me, which was very large but told me nothing. I then went looking for the optimiser and discovered there wasn't one, it just falls through into the JVM JIT and hopes for the best. And finally it turned out a bunch of Clojure libraries were reskinned Java, and therefore likely to have the stereotypical properties of Java code. So that all seems directly attributable to the runtime.

Clojure the language is totally my sort of thing but that was such a horrendous experience that I haven't picked it up again in... what turns out to be seven years (found my stack overflow question about it).
There are lighting conditions that could play a role here since this was when people were entering the tunnel. This might also be something that freaked out the Tesla. But it is hard to know without being in the situation.
When you leave adequate space (especially) in city driving, another driver will always occupy that space. You back off to create more space, another drive enters that space. Rinse, repeat. Source: Boston driver.
Not exactly. It uses a vector database, Pinecone in this case, to store relationship and dating data that has been scraped from the web. When you submit a question, it uses semantic search on that query to pull those most relevant piece of data, which it includes in the prompt to answer the question. Does that make sense?
Yeah, nothing is going to replace eyes, ears, memory muscle experience. Imagine something would replace table tennis sensing experience?
Everyone says "I'm not as quick as I was when I was younger, but I have more experience."

But that's a very sad kind of survivor bias. You were born with your quickness, but you have to earn the experience. Not everyone ends up middle-aged with useful experience. You hear only from the ones who do. And nobody has a time machine.

So look forward to reaping the benefit of experience, but let that be a warning that experience doesn't happen for free. Use your youth to acquire as many lifelong skills as possible. Use those skills in challenging ways to develop judgment. Use your skills and judgment to develop meaningful relationships with people who have chosen similar strategies.

Being able to offer solid skills, judgment, and relationships, rather than the ability to work consecutive 18-hour days, is what you'll have to look forward to.
> This is pretty disingenuous given that I believe Teslas have probably covered by far the most miles with an "advanced driver assistance system".

On top of that most other manufacturers don't have telemetry about it either and instead rely on dealerships to collect that information.

> The Tesla definitely screwed up here, and I'm not sure you could have prevented the initial crash, but the pile up behind it is entirely the other drivers' fault.

I'm still confused about the whole situation.

Police report mentions FSD v11, which is only for employees so far.

FSD v11 is what makes the freeway "FSD", otherwise it's their old "we go straight in lane, maybe take exit or change lane" code...which wouldn't be FSD.

So either an employee crashed with internal only versions, or the police and owner are just incompetent about what they actually have.
If it helps anything, I'm 30 which is supposed to be peak cognitive ability. During some days / weeks I have that exact feeling. I think it's a mixture of cognitive bias (you probably don't remember all the "easy" things you struggled with 10 years ago) and that it's completely natural to have periodic ups and downs in your cognitive abilities. On some weeks I'm just not feeling it.
Because it'd be interesting to see the split between races grouped by age.
While you may have had a legit reason, there's no way you can expect a driver in the lane you abruptly changed into to anticipate this behavior. If you hit another car in your abrupt change, you are still at fault even if you have a legit reason.

Of no fault of their own, the car you hit trying to avoid something means you didn't avoid them. The car you hit did nothing wrong, but you did. Insurance will place you at fault at a minimum of partial fault. You will not be blameless in your example if you do hit someone/something
> Tesla's systems sometimes see phantom obstacles (e.g. shadows or reflections)

Shame they don’t have LiDAR or some other form of actual distance/range sensing.
That calculator is way too optimistic for my area. My girlfriend makes the stated "living" wage, has 20% lower rent (for odd reasons), doesn't pay for a car, and STILL barely makes enough to keep going.
> For example, more than 35% of all Autopilot crashes occur when the Tesla vehicle is rear-ended by another vehicle.

Well, if you want to know why some people are rear ending a Tesla, it's because it's far more unpredictable than a human driver.

Also it seems to contradict itself on data collection. First;

> In practice, this correlates to nearly any crash at about 12 mph (20 kph) or above, depending on the crash forces generated

But then they've decided to ignore crashes that doesn't deploy an airbag or similar...

> recent analysis led us to identify and implement upgrades to our data reporting. Specifically, we discovered reports of certain events where no airbag or other active restraint deployed [...]

So now we're only counting major accidents?
> Must be fun to pay your taxes knowing that you are subsidising this BS.

I wouldn't be angry at working middle- or upper-middle-class people cheating the taxman in order to actually enjoy a decent living. I'd be angry at the politicians, large companies and ultra-high-net-worth individuals that are able to legally but unjustly cheat the taxman (and ultimately the taxpayer) or otherwise unjustly enrich themselves or their friends via lobbying, under-the-table money or favours thanks to having the right connections.
And that's even without factoring in children!
Me too, I'm 37, and I did a radical diet change -- No sugar, no carbs, no dairy, no gluten. Only meat and vegetables and fish and some fruit.

After a year of this I've dropped 20kg, and my mental clarity is back where it was when I was early 20's.

I think it was mostly the no sugar that did it.

Exercise too - I walk 2-5 km a day

Oh and cutting down what I eat too -- I only have 1 meal a day, and a smoothie in the afternoon
In your world, people living in poverty would not have access to a basic K-12 education.
The proliferation of 3D printed firearms completely changed my opinion on gun control a few years ago. I used to think that getting rid of guns was a great first step. But, it seems like it's not really feasible to do that. Now my opinion is that maybe it should be the last step, after addressing the causes of gun death (suicide and the drug war are at the top of the list). But at that point, if we'd actually fixed those problems, I wonder if there would be much of a pressing need to get rid of guns at all.
Any company, even a startup, should have procedures in place for what to do when data loss occurs. I would hope that any service I’m a paying customer of would proactively reach out to customers in the event of data loss. Blaming the cloud service provider isn’t enough because backups are ultimately your responsibility. But doing the “right” think is pretty tough if your cloud provider is not being honest with you.

Thank you, I meant to link to the Ikea drop-ins in my original comment. Excellent value.
It's like Synthwave, which was never a thing in the 80s.

It's a modern reinvention of how people assume the 80s felt, filtered through a gauzy haze of nostalgia for an imaginary pop culture that never existed in that form.

Which is similar to computing and other tech nostalgia. An Amiga was out there on the edge in the 80s, now it's a source of fond reminiscence. Likewise 1980s music equipment, especially synthesizers.

The modern anti-pop-culture equivalent would be asking what's out on the edge today. And there isn't much, because the vibe of computing - actually the vibe of everything - has changed from excited exploration and boundary breaking with constant invention and surprises, to backward-looking and derivative commoditised corporate consumption and collectorism, and the generation of content and items for same.

The most innovative thing at the moment - AI - is an evolving set of automated systems for summarising what has already been generated, rather than for generating something completely new from out of left field.
DeepMind has an excellent track record of helping other researchers reproduce their work. OpenAI does not.
38 years old here. For me it depends on the work type. If I need to rewrite someone's API, I will struggle because the code is written by someone and his logic not obvious fir me. If I would write the same logic from scratch by myself, it will be much easier.
Sharp mind and entertaining writing!

I've had a few projects like this where I list out the BOM then go for 'reasonable business success profit' and scratch my head at exactly this line:

> At even just 60k per founder, with the profit per sign sold being maybe $400, you would probably need to sell ~600 signs at full price per year to create enough revenue to run payroll.

Hardware is an exponent to the value of the internal reward, but the root of all business profit. We need a better funding mechanism for this style of development - more like the hardware lifecycle - wasn't Bolt doing something like that?
> We have the technology to run more and more parts of the government in a way that we pay directly for the things we use

If it doesn't have externalities that make this undesirable, why is it a government function?
In that situation, the person did not get hit from the rear. They hit someone with their rear.

"HUB75" refers to the 16 pin connector and specific structure of the square wave signals it's expecting (row order, pixel order, etc). This particular sign appears to use a 4mm pitch (space between each R/G/B led), indoor-level brightness SMD leds, and modules that are 32x64 pixels, like this one on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832064290423.html?spm=a2g... ( ~$8 + ~$9 shipping to the US for single qty).

There are various "HUB75" panels of different pitch, brightness, LED type, matrix size, etc. Also, there's variations like "HUB75E" with 5 address lines instead of 4. Address lines are typically A/B/C, A/B/C/D, or A/B/C/D/E. And there's also "HUB08", "HUB12" and other standards.
For someone who has been forced to try countless substances / diet regimens / health strategies due to a pervasive chronic disease, I beg to differ. There's so many things that you can personally do that will alter your cognitive abilities, sometimes to an incredible extent. The tricky bit is that there is indeed no silver bullet, and what works for someone might do nothing or create harm for another. So in my opinion, understanding that there are alternatives to resignation is really the critical component.
In Australia it's true. It doesn't matter the circumstance, if you hit a vehicle from behind, you are at fault. A friend hit a car with no brake lights and no turn signal that stopped in the driving lane. Doesn't matter.
This argument bears a lot of resemblance with victim-blaming phrases, like:
“She shouldn’t have been raped, but did you see the dress she was wearing on a dark street?”
To rephrase your question, what are the structural alpha opportunities within economic slowdowns/recessions? Check out SSRN for those.
ah interesting. I guess the lack of hazards here might indicate this wasn't a case of the driver ignoring the warnings. They should have been ready to hit the gas regardless.
I point this out to people all the time. How many businesses operate cash-only in places like Chinatown? Why do you think that is?

Net income[1] would be much more relevant measure of profit, as it describes the bottom line that can be returned to investors, or be payed to employees before the company becomes unprofitable.

Net income is about 9 Billion [2]. If the company were nationalized and turned into a worker cooperative, it could increase the pay for each of 2.3 million workers about 3.9k/year before it starts going out of business.

That's cheap for an AI model training at big tech. Your average ads model engineer at those companies likely uses more compute each quarter.

It mostly suggests that we're in another AI hype bubble. MS and other big tech companies can easily replicate OpenAI results and do same type of research.
I feel as if there needs to be a modification to the phrase "Data Driven". Data, generally, will not help you predict the future. It is however, fantastic at finding bias, inefficient existing processes and tracking the results of your changes.

When applied blindly you end up with scenario you described. Product direction that says something isn't necessary because the question was never asked to begin with.

Science without the hypothesis.

"Many", sure. I was just clarifying that it's far "most".

Walmart--like every other employer--pays the minimum required to attract workers. The welfare state exists, so of course Walmart and workers take this into account when determining an agreeable wage--why wouldn't they? This isn't nefarious behavior on Walmart's part--it's an unintended (if unsurprising) consequence of the welfare state.

Blaming the market for responding to state intervention seems silly.
At this point I can't say I disagree.

The genesis story is early 2021 I was talking to my sister (who is a respected digital artist) and she asked me about "these NFT things". Being technical I was of course aware of them. She then followed up with "Yeah, my friends and I have tried them but all of our stuff just ends up stolen anyway". Needless to say I was intrigued.

My general thinking was - this stuff is here, people are buying into it for whatever reasons, and the more I look the more fraud and shady stuff there is. Broadly speaking I tend to have a "harm reduction" mindset - everything from safe injection sites to crypto. For some things it just seems like people can't help themselves so once the "cat is out of the bag" there's value and nobility in making inherently risky things at least somewhat safer. I know there are plenty of people here on HN and elsewhere with the mindset of "they're idiots, they deserve to lose everything" and/or a desire to just watch the entire thing burn. I (clearly) have a more measured and nuanced take.

That said, my experience ended up being less like "safe injection sites" and more like "this entire space IS the cartel and there are few (if any) people doing any good whatsoever". As I noted I can't recall anything positive or beneficial in my time dealing with it. The impact on my mental health and general feeling of spitting in the ocean finally drove me out.
There's a big divide here though, between pre-Black Death (poverty as you describe) and the couple centuries afterward. It took forever for population numbers to recover (more than two centuries, in England) and things were much better during that period. Infant death remained very high until recent times, of course.
Why does a project like this need three engineers? Two, I can kind of see (a hardware guy and a software guy, though it doesnt look like the hardware guy was doing much here), but three?
You're right. Just checked it and in some markets like India it's about 90% but globally it's more like 70%.

But yeah my point is that US devs (specially SV devs) tend to be myopic about this as they are using iPhones like most people in their bubble. If you're making an app for the US market then this is probably less of an issue, but for worldwide audience this is a huge issue. Not only with RN but with web apps too.

If you had read the post, you would have seen that they did, in fact, not “do things correctly”.
Great work - very usable tool. I'll visit often. Well done!
Yes... all the libraries with Pipe Organs and choirs...

I see what you are saying, but library isn't it. It needs to be an organization like a church, just non-religious. Libraries and churches have some similarities, but the many differences, and not just religious versus non-religious.

I want to see a purely voluntary organization. There is a head of the organization, but that person has a normal full time job, as does everyone else who "works" there. People need to pay dues to pay for the building, the utilities, the pipe organ, etc. but none of that money can go to a person's salary. No mega "churches".
I agree on all points!
It depends what you mean by “open source.” You can find countless open source implementations. The issue is training. Meta has released their LLM weights. I believe Google has too.
Ah, yeah, that would suck. I guess it’s really only something you should apply to your own condition, never someone elses.
Venturing off-topic here but I can't imagine owning a vehicle that sees fit to "penalize" me as if it's my parent or credit card issuer rather than an inanimate object I own to use as I see fit.
I'm surprised this isn't higher up. I think a lot of people retcon their safe driving behaviors to what they learned in a driving test but not to what they do in practice. Or maybe a lot of people answering haven't driven in major cities? But yeah, drive in LA and see how long you can keep 3+ car lengths in front of you. I hate driving in LA.

Does the DMCA even apply here? The movies in question are from counties that have local copyright laws (reminder that DMCA is an American thing with reciprocal agreements with a bunch of countries including the whole of the EU), decades old and in some cases in the public domain.
I see this working by being forced to pay some $X (your taxes) but you can distribute that however you see fit. Another option could be packages such as "childless" where fewer of your taxes (but still some base amount) go to schools or "carless" where the bulk of your taxes go to local roads and mass transit rather than highways. I'd love to see this attempted on the municipal level. Especially in a city like my own, Toronto, where council loves to give yet more money to the police even though people are screaming for bike lanes or a home they can afford.
As indicated in the article, moving dashboard data files from compressed-and-slow NAND to a slightly-less-slow regular HDD would definitely be a performance win, but I think the author underestimates the extent of the improvement.

The dashboard is commonly accessed right after the system has booted, at a time at which lots of startup processes are still competing for files stored on the NAND OS partition. This dramatically increases latency, and thus load times. Fetching dashboard resources from an idle HDD partition could definitely improve responsiveness by more than just a few milliseconds.

I'm not too sure about the exact tooling available for the Xbox, but regular Windows has lots of tracing and analysis options available to improve boot times: see, for example, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/test/wpt/...

I would not be surprised at all if the Xbox team made this change in response to detailed responsiveness metrics, and that they saw a definite improvement afterwards, which is why they shipped the 'attempt'...

Because the magnitude of the effects isn't the same. The evidence is very clear - obesity _causes_ several negative health conditions. To suggest that crash dieting somehow reduces the relevance of those conditions is to deliberately mislead. Some links:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC380258/

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33882682/

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5038894/

I would love to see any research you're aware of that would show evidence that crash diets cause significant health issues (I don't doubt that there are some diets that cause weight loss while being bad for health in other ways) but to suggest that the side effects of those diets compare in magnitude to the side effects of obesity itself is extremely misleading. If you have any reputable sources that provide evidence to the contrary I would be happy to read them, but I think you're misleading people, deliberately or inadvertently.
