I long for a dumber phone, but I’ve been thinking about all the supplementary devices I’d need to buy to make up for it — basically a printer (+ ink) for tickets and a GPS device with car ride services and google maps built in for getting around.

I _feel_ as though I need those things, at any rate.
The libertarian's point of view?

I imagine Elluswamy's career at Tesla is over. What a dilemma, either lie in a deposition or get fired.
In France the Mac mini starts at 581 euros before tax. That's $627, which is about 5% higher than the US price.
I wonder if we're disagreeing on what they thought the odds of an embarrassing incident were or whether those odds would have been acceptable to them?

The video is 3:44, and I think doesn't have any bits cut out. I'm guessing that after running the route many times for practice and giving it extra data they could have gotten down to about odds of somewhere around 1:10k. And I think they would have accepted those odds.

(I would definitely not accept those odds, and would not want to ride in or near a car made by people who would. I'm glad that the law prevented them from doing runs without a safety driver at that stage. And I don't think they're anywhere near ready to do that today either.)
If you're already past a beginner level and need to practice a lot, a good way is to actually use AI generators. Like you would do still life, paint things you see, or copy other artwork, you can copy and/or modify generative works. That way you can actually draw things much closer to your creative interest. It can help get ideas out of your head faster.

But honestly, the way to get better at art is to do a bunch of art. It's like math, it's all about the practice.
One thing to keep in mind is the demand of the specific OS/applications you are running. For example, 1GB of RAM is plenty for Windows XP, but 4GB for Windows 10/11 is abysmal. This is more or less why Linux is such a popular choice for repurposing old computers.

The question at hand is not whether to break the law, it's whether to protect yourself from intrusion by state authorities with demonstrably little public accountability.
You have 14 days to return it no questions asked. So no worries either way.
D is not a gc based language. GC is just another tool D makes available to the programmer.
Not to be confused with the embedded tool from Segger.
I have used the 2020 M1 air with 8Gb since last summer without any issues as a documents/productivity suite and web application development tool. There are zero complaints here. I had a Core i9 with 16GB of ram MBP before it. This feels just as fast.
Don’t they have thermal throttling issues?
I'll reply by the top voted comment of that article:

The author has no idea what is a programming language, why it exists and where it is used.
To suppose that Java is equivalent to python only because a lot of programmers work on the most simple part of an application is totally wrong.
It is as to suppose that a bycicle is better than a Caterpillar Miner only because there are more people that use the bycicle than people that drive a Miner.
Ok.
If you put "Musk" in the headline you get more clix.
It's truly bizarre that Musk stans are resorting to calling out McDs to try and defend Tesla's blatant fraud.

But I can tell you right now that McDs is not lying about what a BigMac can look like, because I have eaten a Bic Mac, and other McDs burgers, that looked just like they were from a commercial. Food has natural variability; how the final burger appears depends on the ingredients and the preparation, and some McDs locations like the ones near me do a better job of storing their buns and assembling their burgers than others.
I love flatbuffers but they're only worthwhile in a very small problem space.

If your main concern is "faster than JSON" then you're better off using Protocol Buffers simply because they're way more popular and better supported. FlatBuffers are cool because they let you decode on demand. Say you have an array of 10,000 complex objects. With JSON or Protocol Buffers you're going to need to decode and load into memory all 10,000 before you're able to access the one you want. But with FlatBuffers you can decode item X without touching 99% of the rest of the data. Quicker and much more memory efficient.

But it's not simple to implement. You have to write a schema then turn that schema into source files in your target language. There's an impressive array of target languages but it's a custom executable and that adds complexity to any build. Then the generated API is difficult to use (in JS at least) because of course an array isn't a JavaScript array, it's an object with decoder helpers.

It's also quite easy to trip yourself up in terms of performance by decoding the same data over and over again rather than re-using the first decode like you would with JSON or PB. So you have to think about which decoded items to store in memory, where, for how long, etc... I kind of think of it as the data equivalent of a programming language with manual memory management. Definitely has a place. But the majority of projects are going to be fine with automatic memory management.
Streamline Your Workflow with Whois API
To help IT professionals to gather reliable registration information about domains in one convenient format, RST Cloud has made publicly available Whois API.
Whois API is a service that allows IT professionals, including cybersecurity specialists, to obtain reliable data about any domain without worrying about query limits or restrictions. This data can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
Infringement on your trademark: If you suspect someone is infringing on your trademark by using a domain that is confusingly similar to your own, you can use Whois API to gather reliable data about the domain in question. This data can help you determine the owner of the domain and take appropriate action to defend your trademark.
Hunting down recently registered “fake” domains: If you are trying to track down recently registered domains that are suspected of being “fake” or malicious, Whois API can help you gather the data you need to identify the domain owner and assess the threat level of the domain.
Identifying common patterns between phishing websites: If you are looking for common patterns between phishing websites, such as shared IP addresses or domain registration information, Whois API can provide the data you need to make connections between different domains and identify potential phishing threats.
Antispam solutions: By assessing the reliability of a domain, cybersecurity professionals can help protect their organizations against spam and phishing attacks.
Security incident investigations: During a suspected incident, cybersecurity professionals can use Whois API to obtain detailed registration data about a domain, which can help them track down the source of the threat and take appropriate action.
Domain name availability: Whois API can be used to check the existence or availability of a domain name for various purposes, such as open-source intelligence (OSINT) and brand protection, searching for phishing resources, or conducting investment analysis of domain names.
Marketing research and big data analytics: Whois API can be used for marketing research and other types of big data analytics, such as market and sales analysis.
“Overall, Whois API is a valuable tool for IT professionals looking to gather reliable data about domains for a wide range of purposes.”, said Anna Mikhaylova, Business Development Director at RST Cloud. “Whether you are working to protect your organization against cyber threats, investigating a suspected incident, or conducting market research, Whois API can provide the information you need to make informed decisions.”
See how Whois API can help streamline your workflow and make it easier to gather reliable data about domains without worrying about query limits or restrictions on RST Cloud web site.

> I always thought the "bystander effect" was a load of propaganda.

I can personally confirm that standing by smokers / staying in smokers' houses is quite good for triggering asthma. So I suggest you tampen down your propaganda claims.
Start exposing yourself to as much art as possible. If you lucky to live in a major city, visit the major museums and see what interests you. Go to art museums when you travel. Sign up for newsletters about art events in your area. Try to make friends with a few artists-- they will also keep you in the loop and expose you to new ideas.

Once you find an area of art you identify with, try to find a class or workshop. Even if you take an art class in an unrelated field, the process of creating art, getting feedback, critiquing the work of others, etc, will help you.

Just keep in mind art can literally be anything. Had I not taken a workshop in film scanning, I never would have known that you can make art with sandwiches and scanners:

I think the value of a commit message is directly proportional to the amount of discipline you have placed into the contents of each commit.

If you are the kind of developer who works locally for weeks and then pushes 1 gigantic "work" commit, you are probably annoyed by all sorts of processes.

If you are the kind of developer who commits every 5 minutes, these messages can serve as an excellent near-real-time indicator to the rest of the team about where you are working and the progress so far. For PRs that go beyond 30 days, these commit messages are also for me. I can't keep everything in my head for the larger features.
I don't use many apps outside a browser, e-mail, and text. Two things that help me are I leave my phone on silent all the time and I disable all notifications. I can't stand notifications. I don't need them. I'm not 911, no one is contacting me with a life threatening emergency, I'll get back to their call or text whenever.

I love having a smartphone because it's a cybernetic appliance. It's awesome. I just don't need it constantly occupying my attention. It's annoying how many apps, even system ones, that want to show notifications all the time. I wish iOS supported an affirmative toggle, let me disable all notifications by default and then let me turn them on one by one. Do not disturb by default and let me affirmatively enable "ok to disturb". I filed ERs to that effect when I was at Apple but I'm sure they went to the Future/NTBF black hole.
2019 MBPs unfortunately weren't great. I had horrible battery life issues after years of heavy use and got my work to replace it with a M1 max 16". Night and day difference, a huge huge step up. The thermal issues on the 2019 models were really ridiculous.
I've done this in the past too and it works. Right now though I have it set so that I know the passcode to unlock it all, but that small amount of pain to go and unlock it is enough to make me pause and think about whether I actually do need to check the news, etc. Very rarely is the answer yes, but when I do need an actual smart phone (confirm a ticket on some random website for example) it's nice to have the ability to do so. Just have to have the discipline to lock it back down!
At least until the European Union forced them too…
Ok, so I guess Hacker News has decided that data can only be 100% biased or 0% unbiased, but nothing in-between.

Yes, almost all data is biased... of course.

Some data is 100% biased. Some data is 1% biased.

How about we try to collect data and then weigh it such that what we feed to the AI during training is as unbiased as possible, given a certain amount of effort?

You know that you can actually influence what data you feed to the AI, right? Or how much the training takes some data into account vs some other data, I guess.

You know that you can create a metric for measuring bias, right?

You know that even if you are not capable of being 100% unbiased, you can work towards that goal, right?

You know that there are plenty of smart people who can come up with ideas for eliminating (or mitigating) sources of errors when measuring bias, right?

I hope you begin to see the solution at hand.
Unless those people are poor and hungry, like those 20% on food stamps...

How is the heat? I've heard from anecdotal reports that under heavy workloads, the M2 Air can get super hot, and so Pro is the way to go if you're using heavy workloads. But you're doing music/photo production, etc, so I wonder if you agree. I know that's not the same as video.
All of these systems rely on working people to pay the tab for retired people because of demographic shifts and inflation causing outputs to exceed inputs. At least Social Security is definitely a Ponzi that per the SSA will only be able to guarantee me 65% of what I am owed when I hit the (continually increasing) payout age.

I align with neither Reagan or Thatcher, but I did pass my math classes.
Not sure if it's a typo but how in the world would a person spend 2 hours "scrolling Lyft"?

This is wrong. Tesla does have the advantage of being the more tech of all the car companies. They have the disadvantage of being bad at the car part. They spent massive amounts of time and energy being vertically integrated as much as possible. Historically car companies outsource everything in the car but their core differentiator (mostly engines). Tesla thought they could do everything themselves because it is cheaper but you are not going to make seats better than someone whose only job is to make seats. This is why they have all the quality problems.

You're a bit too late with that observation I think as Tesla is no longer the upstart.

> The feature is a gizmo that appeals to techies and can, for a time, prop up sagging unit margins. But it's a nice to have bobble at best compared to the real prize of dominating the car market.

The feature and all the rest of the hype somehow got it this far.. it might break 2m ($100B revenue) cars sold in 2023. That's about as much as Mercedes. BMB is 2.5m. So it has wiggled its way by sheer tyranny of will, luck, and incumbents dragging their feet to being in the top 10.

Otherwise I'd agree with you but the bluff, improbably, worked out. They are here to stay.
Both critical bugs are integer overflows. It's unclear to me why our languages still default to modulo arithmetic semantics. I feel Rust had a chance to fix this, but also dropped the ball.

What R&D and technical capabilities did this company have? It will be interesting to see if anything gets sold off in administration.

In the media, I saw lots of focus about the factory, a potential building, but nothing about the supply chain or component design.

This felt like a project where many of the partners suspected it was vapourware, but also didn’t want to be seen not getting involved.

Focusing on the phone seems like missing the mark. The addictive thing is not the phone, but the internet. Even with a dumbphone you can easily waste as much time on your laptop's web-browser (and people did: FB and Youtube were already big before the iPhone was a thing).

Conversely, if you turn off data, there are not many possibilities to spend huge amounts of time on your phone. (And yes, there are still plenty of useful offline smartphone apps.)
> pointless, hyperbolic figure is irrelevant

Then why not simply give the correct, still impressive, figure, as I suggested?

> the regeneration is always, 100% a head, if no change in the bioelectrical gradients

This is also a meaningless statement. It's correct 100% of the time, except when something goes wrong and it's not.

Can you quantify the likelihood of something going wrong with the "bioelectrical gradient"? I'm not familiar with this organism but I suspect it's several nines, but less than 7.

In general, probabilities less than a certain amount stop being meaningful, because it's more likely that the model used generate the probability fails to reflect reality. See https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/AJ9dX59QXokZb35fk/when-not-t...
The glass ceiling for non-PhDs sounds like a caste system, not the meritocracy that the broader MIT-ish community sometimes professes.
Last week while on a very long (18+ hour) drive I heard either a podcast or a radio ad for a teeth alignment company and at the end it mentioned their web address: byte.com. They even spelled it out. I was curious and I just looked and it does look like they bought the domain last year. Kind of weird and sad.

Oh yeah, because "contains chemicals known the state of california" really helps us all out.

Come on, aren't there real problems to solve? Do we have grid scale battery storage yet? Are we building more GenIV nuclear reactors? Do we have environmentally friendly desalinization? Let's not waste our breath on dumb crap like this.

This is a distraction.
> If the federal government should be reduced in power, then why should state or local governments have any more power over individuals?

Because the smaller government is (federal>state>local) the resources needed to hollow it out and made into puppet also drop.
My sentiments exactly. Go buy an iPad if you want thin light and all day battery life. I want what Apple is delivering today, real power with real portability, even if it weighs a bit more and happens to have some love handles.
Re-read the comment, they said they are _keeping_ Lyft because there's no way to doomscroll it for 2 hours.
> I'm guessing that after running the route many times for practice

Why practice? They did the run until it worked well for the video. It wasn't a demo with a live non-Tesla audience. In this case not working 9/10 times is good enough rather than 1/10000
The links are rather tenuous at best right now. The only thing we have strong evidence for is possible hormonal effects, which is bad, but plastic particles are probably not giving you liver failure.

Many schools that have art programs (as well as specialty art schools) offer online coursework in making and appreciating art. A very valuable aspect of these is the conversations with others who share your interest, you'll learn a lot from these discussions. Browsing online libraries about art and online galleries also good, but putting yourself in a place where you are directly, physically engaged with the art (museum, gallery, a local artist) really makes a difference in your perception of the work and what you bring to it. AI/ML generated work is fascinating, but may be exploitative of the artists that train the model, so maybe better to understand the labor involved with creating the training data for those models at least to start.
> I’ve been meaning to write a script that will generate a commit message based on the files changed. “added models.py, edited settings.py”

You can get that information with the git log --name-status parameter.
Hard disagree. AI is a good tool for artists who already know how to draw, it is a terrible tool for beginners. It's like telling someone who wants to learn spanish to just use google translate.

A beginner needs to practice raw fundamentals of the craft. They need to train their 'eye' for art so that they can see both technical and creative flaws and avoid them. Having an AI do it for you is a recipe for stagnation.

I totally agree about practice however. Draw/sculpt/paint every day and in a year or so you will be far more capable of realizing what you imagine.
I like how it shows that we all just casually know that everything websites show you is constantly in flux and tailored to a particular person via Orwellian tracking measures
I've been using my Samsung smartwatch with LTE as a smartphone that's hard to abuse. Thursday through Sunday I only carry it and leave my "real" phone at home.

It's pretty nice because I still have Bluetooth calls in my car and navigation in a pinch. I can still stream music and ask Google to look things up for me.

Actual calls on the watch are fine, but I do keep a pair of bluetooth headphones on me so I don't have to take business calls on speakerphone.

If texting is your addiction, technically this doesn't solve it but it doesn't increase the friction so maybe it's less of a temptation. I don't text that much so it's not a big deal to me. Doomscrolling is my downfall and fortunately not really doable on a watch.
Their point is that you can't, there's basically no way for it to be entertaining, so it's a safe app to keep available if you're prone to waste time scrolling.
I too have quested for a Dumber Phone. As an easily distracted engineer who values my time, I enjoy being on a dumb device, particularly one without Maps. Things hat I've tried:

- Punkt MP02 (Pigeon): small black & white Android phone with a non-standard launcher. Doesn't support MMS on Google Fi, which is needed to participate with friends & family (USA), so it sits on a shelf.

- Unihertz Atom: tiny Android phone, storage chip began dying within 3 months. Supports MMS, but my previous company's MDM locked it out due to a lack of recent security updates and their phone plan required a login to receive MMS!

I also looked into the Hisense e-Ink phones (Android), but they are hacky to use this it in the USA (lack of frequencies & Google Play). In eventually realized that I already had perfectly good hardware (Pixel 4) that I could turn into a dumb-phone without generating more e-waste. I began compiling my own locked-down distro, but in the end I just wrote a shell script to turn an Android phone into a dumb phone: https://github.com/tstromberg/quietude. For example:

- For a truly "dumb" phone: `quietude.sh disable all`
- Disable distractions but keep the app store: `quietude.sh disable distractions`

The key here is that apps are disabled in a way which can only be enabled again by plugging the phone in with a USB cable. This keeps me from mindlessly re-enabling apps when I am bored in line somewhere. I also get to keep PagerDuty, Plugshare, Lyft, Google Photos, and whatever other apps I find convenient to have available.

According to the NIH, only 5.3% of Americans 12 and older are alcoholics (https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/brochures-and-fact-sh...). Factor out the fact that some of those people haven't tried alcohol and you get about 7% addiction liability.

They’re saying they don’t need to worry about having lyft on their phone because they aren’t going to spend hours scrolling it.
