Automatic switching between FSD and Autopilot is not any kind of UX problem. There is no reason the driver needs to be aware of it. The driver does not need to take any action at all. The only difference is the type of road. But which software was in use is relevant here because people are trying to blame this on FSD. Whenever you're on a freeway, Autopilot is used automatically instead of FSD, so FSD had nothing to do with this regardless of whether the car had FSD installed or not. This is the same Autopilot software that has been available and in use for many years.
It would actually be better if FTX got turned back on, balances changed to whatever % can be made available and debt tokens issued for the rest.

I tried MS Flight Simulator with a Quest tethered to my desktop and I couldn't get the resolution high enough to be usable for the instrument panel. I'd have to still zoom in for them to be readable. The concept is amazing but I couldn't get reality to match up with it.

It was also weird not being able to see the my throttle and yoke and all the different buttons I needed to use. I didn't have enough hours on the setup to have it all be via muscle memory yet so I needed to be able to look at my cheat sheet sometimes.
For a while, it seemed like China's one-party state promised to have the best of both worlds, with a single party and lack of general elections to avoid the problems with in-fighting between parties and the voters making stupid choices, and the general inefficiency of democratic systems, while having a party (with many thousands of members) in charge rather than a single person so the party can replace the top leadership when necessary.

In practice, however, it doesn't seem to be working out as promised, with Xi turning into a dictator.

Ask HN: Can RAT be installed on non-jailbroken iPhone?
And if not, can an iPhone be both jaibroken and infected with RAT without unlocking the phone (with pin or anything else)?

Context is that obsessive ex installed RAT of friends android phone so she switched to iPhone, but her new iPhone also started showing some weird behavior (after ex had physical access to it for maybe an hour, they are coworkers).

So I wonder how plausible is that her new iPhone also got pwned just by skilled IT guy.
Sometimes people disregard history in a very obvious way.

One time there is a person who wants a system rewritten, because of some perceived complexity. The original builders who built the system from the ground up is still actively maintaining it, but there is no attempt to understand whether the perceived complexity is incidental or essential, which in fact most of them are the latter. Some people just want things to fit their world.

But, on the bright side, there are people who just don't know history, but they would be happy to learn. There's a hopeful number of those people!
That sounds kind of cool.

Agreed/sorry. I was trying to communicate about why it wasn’t annoying to be the following car for long distances on cruise at X mph (always in one lane), where the car in front is also at “close to X mph”, and where my cruise control has 1 mph increments via button pushes. Even being 1/2mph off seems like it would be annoying, but it didn’t seem to be.
> In Illinois, for example, approximately 79.1% of households with children cook with gas, whereas in Florida, the figure is only 9.1%. States with a higher percentage of children living in households with gas stoves have higher proportions of current childhood asthma attributable to gas stove usage.

Wait, holdup. Gas is 8x more common in Illinois? If there was an actual link wouldn't we expect to see much more than the minor difference in Asthma rates?

It seems more likely there is something else going on. Like for one thing, the correlation between places with cold, dry winters and the use of gas fixtures.
I'd like to see a different take on single payer. First, allow anyone to buy into medicare for their insurance provider (at a market reasonable price for younger people, subsidized like it is now for seniors). This could act as a nation-wide insurer without any "funny business" such as getting charged thousands because an assistant that wasn't in-network showed up the day of your surgery.

Second, if an employee isn't covered by employer healthcare, the employer side of FICA should be increased to provide for employee coverage. That way if someone is working 40 hours a week, but for multiple part-time employers, they still get the same medical coverage as a full-time employee.

Third, when I go in for a procedure, I want all bills to go to the insurance provider, they pay everything. Then the insurance sends me a bill for my co-pay. Make that a law. That way I'm not stuck with getting dozens of separate bills up to years after a procedure, with no way of really knowing what should have been covered by insurance or not.

"A study by Namely found that employees with unlimited PTO took an average of 13 vacation days, compared to 15 days for their fixed PTO counterparts. Why would this be? Without clear guidance on what’s acceptable, most workers end up taking off less time to avoid appearing lazy or otherwise be seen as abusing the policy."

Yes, you definitely should have a health insurance plan of some type. Your concierge doc fee will not pay for a visit to the ER, which can bankrupt the average person who doesn't have coverage.
I think the fed will move faster than it has in the past to try something new, it’s been overly late for a long time. They are playing a much higher frequency betting game than they used to.
I'm still waiting for autonomous-only lanes. For extremely long and boring highways (usually full of trucks), this just seems like the logical conclusion of all self-driving tech to me. Dedicate one lane to self-driving, have the vehicles all on autonomous mode, and have them keep enough distance so their braking performance prevents them from crashing in an unexpected stop. You should be able to literally just sleep until your exit comes up in 250 miles. For any unexpected problems, have the vehicle turn off onto the shoulder of the highway and stop.
Plus Germany's half-century long anti-nuclear stance does them a disservice.

I never would have believed this pre kids but 5 years later … so true!
I think every company likes not having the liability of PTO hanging on the balance books, and most companies quietly enjoy the reduction in average PTO taken. For the outlier users of PTO, they'd better be firebreathers, or I suspect they are PIPed out.

BUT, we were in a somewhat competitive labor market up until very recently, and likely will be again some day. A generous PTO policy grounded in explicit policy would absolutely be something I'd weigh heavily in a competitive market for labor.

Fibber Magees, Mountain View (now St. Stephen's Green). Out of work people in tech at the pub at 2 in the afternoon. On their right, a beer. On their left, a pager that isn't buzzing (hoping for a message from a recruiter).

Talking to the guy who got a job serving gelato next door and a guy who is about to start work 3rd shift at Blockbuster as a cashier. They've got masters degrees in CS but when the company closed up quickly, they had to find a job quickly that paid some of their bills (rent in Mountain View wasn't cheap).

Those were not happy times.

I was fortunate. My manager had previously worked at Apple in the bad years and at the first signs of future possible problems had gotten two open reqs for our team approved all the way up the chain to the C level. While the reqs were approved she really dragged her feet on writing up the job position and after a bit, HR got tired (I presume) asking her and then we had a hiring freeze and well, that was the end of that... except that we had two C level approved reqs that were unfilled. Then contractors weren't renewed... and then contracts were ended early. When the layoff happened she was told to lay off two people from a team of four. She laid off the open reqs and pointed out that if the director levels were to force her to lay off some from the team, she would immediately rehire them back in to those open reqs. So, our team survived intact. That was 2001. However, in 2009 she wasn't my manager anymore (and had gone to do other things).

When the product of this hits the OS I predict massive instability. I don't think the Apple of 2022 has the level of systems programming talent that was behind the 1990s code in the core foundation. Today I feel like most of their attempts to move the OS forward beyond the shiny UI gimmicks (Tired of Exposé™? Try Stage Manager!™) are sloppy and only barely work (like "discoveryd" - google that if you don't remember).

If you don't believe me, quit all your non-Apple apps, and open up Console.app and hit Start streaming, and limit only to the "Errors and Faults" and watch the computer scream in logs until you're convinced. This is what modern Apple software quality looks like. I really don't want them touching anything near the core OS. Especially because when Apple software doesn't work, either you'll get no feedback, or it will say something comically vague like, that it "can't be completed."

I'd LOVE to be proven wrong here because otherwise I'll have to finally catch up on my Windows knowledge and get used to not having a GUI metakey separate from Ctrl!
Netbios is off by default in Windows; technically it is auto, but auto only turns it on if it sees a request from another machine on the LAN, or the network's DHCP passes a special field (no Linux dhcpd impl does this by default, or even has that functionality other than a manual custom field; you only see this if Windows Server is fulfilling the AD role and your AD is also your dhcpd, which is rare nowadays).

Windows, since Vista, prefers to use LLMNR/RFC 4795 (as Vista was designed to be an IPv6-first OS; Netbios and SMB for the purposes of legacy interop is purely a IPv4 concept), and as of Windows 10, also supports mDNS/RFC 6763.

LLMNR + WS-Discovery is the Vista and up solution for the entire Zeroconf stack, mDNS + DNS-SD over mDNS is Apple's solution for Zeroconf (and is also implemented via Avahi; Apple's Bonjour is open source and was chosen by Android before being replaced with yet another impl). Netbios + SSDP is this solution (and kinda disjointed, tbh) for pre-Vista.

Edit: My own personal network doesn't use any of these, and I use a local dnsmasq install to do be dns and the dhcpd, serving static assignments via /etc/ethers + /etc/hosts. All machines support DNS, support for the various discovery mechanisms suck in random ways across vendors.

I've heard of software shops in Australia that work on this model, too. I'm slightly unsure that it's actually beneficial for companies? Seems like having a bunch of juniors around and giving them more or harder work than they're ready for will usually result in souring client relationships when the work isn't up to scratch.

Not sure what can really be done about it, either. Seems like the issues are both hard to detect _and_ hard to regulate against.

Fair enough. I guess a more basic question than how you're preventing people from probing for nodejs packages they could misuse would be the more pedestrian problem of how do you deal with runaway processes, especially if they end up blocking the event loop that should theoretically kill them. Mark/sweep from another process that restarts pm2 or whatever?

The reason I'm curious is that a lot of my private projects rely on evaluating code server side, but it's a big reason I'm not willing to share them with the public, because the overhead of watching for abuse would just make it.. not worth it. It falls into the category of "this is why we can't have nice things".

As a security challenge though (for the defender) I do love something like this. But I doubt dockerizing it would help against CPU abuse unless you want to spin up a docker vm for every request..

Do you understand the point the parent was making? The children's market is not what VR developers are going for. For one: COPPA kinda makes monetizing VR spaces not possible; two: some parents might let their kids have one, but right on the device it says not to let kids under 12 use it, so I doubt most will. Mainstream consumer adoption is not squeaky voiced pre-teens.

From what I can gather, ssh host key verification is just a way of doing pre-shared key authentication (of the server) that is easy to bypass (by design) in case you decide you don't care.

In an ideal world everyone everywhere has a side-channel through which they can affirmatively correlate host keys, for example getting a new VM in azure would tell you its host key fingerprint along with login details. in the real world nobody does check, but if you really wanted to or if your application is sensitive enough, you can, and without having to enable an option/use a different binary/etc.

Recently I redeployed one of my VMs and the host key was regenerated, and it turns out ssh straight up tells you how to invalidate the host key cache. It has big bold warnings of course but we all know how that works.

I've been surprised at how widely set up these programs are. They must have some models that they show retail CEOs that's highly compelling. (I assume that model includes sales going up and to the right.)

But the costs seem insane to me! I know that retailers are willing to pay a few percent to lock in a sale (traditionally going to subsidize gift cards, referral programs, etc.), but giving up interest for months and leaving a cushion for defaults and leaving enough for the BNPL company to make their profit? I've just been surprised that there's enough to go around. Does anybody have a sense for what companies who do this are thinking?
It will also massively hurt global drug and medical research.

We are the leader in it partly because we pay these exhortation prices when the rest of the developed world simply won't play that kind of game.

I'm okay with biting that bullet, and taking a global reduction of health research by some double digit percent for awhile, but that's a serious unintended consequence of single payer.

I'm a Bernie voter who supports single payer, but it's not sunshine and roses everywhere, and crooked capitalism really does do some "not bad" things for us.

My brother in christ you are buying consumer garbage Acers and HPs for a professional fleet.
Wrong. You can plainly see in the video (and the hundreds of others) that as soon as the car enters the freeway it switches to Autopilot automatically. The easiest way to tell is the red lines in the FSD visualization disappear when it switches to Autopilot.

The transition is completely smooth and the driver doesn't have to know or care at all, so it's not surprising that they were mistaken. But it's relevant here because people are trying to blame this on FSD. On FSD cars the freeway Autopilot is still the exact same Autopilot that non-FSD cars have (with the "Navigate on Autopilot" feature which is more than four years old now). They plan to replace freeway Autopilot with FSD later this year, but it hasn't happened yet.

It's in a sqlite database. Unison doesn't prescribe how those are passed around, but since everything is content addressed there are never any name collisions. You can always merge two of them into one without having to resolve conflicts and without breaking anything. Doing so just expands your codebase to include more code than you're currently calling.

The way I intend to use it is that users periodically assemble the codebases from all of the developers that they care about and merge them into a single codebase. This can be very latency tolerant (like, sneak-a-thumb-drive-across-the-border levels of latency tolerant) because it's not like you're waiting around for transport every time you want to do something, just every time you want to upgrade.

Then, when you decide to use the new version of something (the developer would communicate a new hash to you), you just start calling the new hash and now you're using the new software. If something goes wrong, you just go back to calling the old hash. No implicit trust (e.g. no need for SSL, DNS, package names), atomic upgrade/downgrades, no merge conflicts.

Not sure if you are being serious. How can you tell whether a car is driving autonomously? Expect it from any Tesla?

I haven't consciously ever seen a car driving itself. And I like to think of myself being pretty defensive as a driver. I'm not even sure if the feature is available in Australia.
What is stopping you from doing that in an airport?
Is this the first time this system has failed so spectacularly? While the failure is notable, it does speak to the uptime of this system.
You and I actually agree completely. I was attempting to steelman an argument for why a lot of people remain hostile to the concept of self driving all together.
Do you not understand arguments or do you just ignore points you don't like? I am not contending that children don't use it. I am contending that children using it to any extent is not desired by the manufacturers nor does it count as mainstream consumer adoption. Please don't respond again about how kids use it.
I suppose nothing, I'll just be miserable while I'm doing it because I hate airports.

Exactly true on the latter part. The main reason for "unlimited" vacation is to remove the debt load from the books. Vacation accrued and unpaid is debt that is owed out, and owed if they terminate someone.

Not sure how this might affect any downsizing in the near term for existing "earned" vacation time.
