AFAIK the car makers are required to maintain inventories of spares. And whether by this mechanism or some other, cars have fairly accurate and consistent parts lists, making it relatively easy to figure out which part number is needed for which car. Perhaps the higher volume of car repairs also supports a competitive market for providing parts on quick notice. My independent mechanic has never taken more than a day to fix my car, and that includes getting the parts.

With bikes, it's a crap shoot. A typical new bike model does not come with a parts list, and the brands don't stock spares. Every repair turns into a guessing game on which part will actually fit the bike, and a search for a supplier. If the shop needs a part, it has to be ordered and shipped from some distant city. The parts makers (e.g., the biggest one is Shimano) decide when a particular style of part is obsolete and discontinued, and you're on your own.

Cheaper bikes (within reason) are better -- they tend to use parts from older standards that are still in widespread use worldwide. For instance there was a long time period (after the so called "bike boom") when most bikes had reasonably interchangeable parts, and many of those component standards such as bottom brackets are still being used today. My hacked together bikes from 1980s parts are still easy to maintain today with minimal skills and tools.

The other thing is, the vast majority of cars are not used for competition or sport, and are treated to fairly mild and predictable operating conditions, the exception being when they crash.
No. I’m using Ubuntu lts (pop os actually) and it works far better on the very same hardware, and other people that made the same jump can confirm.
In what way do these bikes fail typically, do you know? It might not be a matter of manufacturing but rather maintenance, if the frame doesn't fail you can definitely fix it, usually pretty cheap if it is a commodity bike.

I only have my own experience and some travel to go off, but I routinely see 20+ year old bikes still kicking about, riding as if they were new. I used to do my own repairs at a non-profit that helped people keep their bikes on the road, it's not very challenging or expensive to keep most bikes moving.

Yeah that works, because you get access to the native window. I'm adding native macOS elements to the Ebou window, for example. I'm also adding native window effects. You could reasonably easy add a wgpu native view I guess. What's a bit more difficult would be to have it position correctly (because you'd need to know the locations of the html elements, and you can only query them via the `eval` js routine, but that would also work).
> It's reassuring to me that the two people running policy work at the big AI "startups", Jack Clark (Anthropic) and Miles Brundage (OpenAI, who was hired by Jack iirc), are genuinely good humans. I've known Jack for 10 years and he's for sure a measured and reasonable person who cares about not doing harm.

I think this hardly matters. Both companies are competing in a market and if the ethics stands in the way of market dominance and shareholder value, ethics will generally lose out.

> Yes, sometimes, but if that’s what you’re going for it’s still important that you’re solving a problem that you understand well.

I disagree. Writing a program can be a fantastic way to learn more about the problem. Of course, if you want the program to be good, you’ll probably end up needing to do some serious iteration/rewriting as you learn more.
This is about developer burnout, and doesn't really point to anything in particular regarding infosec.

Randomizing selection
It depends on the country. Here in Argentina you never send a bike to the scrap yard. First you try to fix it yourself, then go to the local bike shop that is 5 blocks (1/2 mile) away. When it's too old you give it to your nephew. And when it's really old or has a massive problem it may be cannibalized and the remainders send to a scrap yard.
Because at the point of actual sentience that becomes a being that deserves rights. Equivalent to animal cruelty laws at least at the sentient level.

It would deserve more rights if it then progressed to sapience. Equivalent to human rights at that stage. An equal mind.

I stopped reading when it said this was behind a browser flag. Was I wrong to stop reading; is there a better story than that?

I've been doing CSS long enough to know that to get things work you often have to work with what you have and that means wrapping things inside (otherwise) redundant containers, etc.

Using a polyfill is less than ideal, but at least I have control over including this. And, it says it is under development, so I didn't even want to use that.

But, asking my users to enable a browser flag? That's a non-starter.

I'll file this under something interesting to revisit in a year or two.
I think this would be very situational even in the case of WASM. Without needing a garbage collector and using only a JS buffer for message handling and DOM updates, for a long running application, there might be performance gains that would be hard to directly measure. With simple examples, the JS will generally win handedly. But for more complex apps that use more / increasing memory and perform involved state manipulation, I’m willing to bet you’d see the favor slip.

This manifests as a snappier experience with less / no GC pauses and a clearer dev experience with a better separation between domains. Rust is just a better language to work with, so it has a certain future-proof quality to it that would pay dividends long term compared to JS in any case.
The logic behind my thinking is more based on what we do as humans to be safe.

For example:

When it is cold, we wear protective gear to keep us warm.

When the UV index is high, we wear protective gear to protect our skin.

When it is dark, we wear reflective elements to be seen.

Obviously not everyone subscribed to that thinking, and it is not my intention to shift blame.
Saying "China" is probably good for the WP's bottom line and editorial agenda.

By default when I click the link I'm directed to a non-secure HTTP version of github, which I found ironic given the page title
I think it will break any of the open source package managers that rely on GitHub's proprietary hosting and distribution. Cargo, etc.
In that case, you'd see if there're native Rust libraries for this and do that. The Rust in Tauri is native, not compiled to WASM. You can access the whole platform.

That said, most of the things you mentioned (iOS camera, permissions) don't have any Rust library to work with. So then it is more work because you need to use the native api via FFI. So yeah, I kinda misunderstood your original question. Possible, yes, but by far not as easy as with other solutions that just allow you to write the required functionality with Swift or Kotlin
I guess to me I'm (1) surprised that you think the social status affirmation dynamic is more at play for people buying new bikes than people riding 40 year "steel is real" bikes. (it occurs to me to ask, "what is the dif in carbon footprint between buying a complete bike and buying each cool little vintage component individually?")

and (2) that we aren't interested in _encouraging_ conspicuous consumption in bicycles. This is certainly a big factor in cars. To encourage more riding, it seems like a very positive thing for people to be splurging on bikes and proud of what they're riding. This would draw more people in compared to if they only see the Sheldon Brown types out, who they don't identify with or aspire to. it's a good thing for people to envy the secure healthy life of the average wealthy urban elite on a fancy ebike or whatever.
Off topic, but I’d love for HN to have larger buttons on mobile. Particularly the up/down vote buttons. I have to zoom in to press which makes it the only site I regularly interact with that requires this.

Great idea! Broadcast TV networks should be required to do the same. More than 1 hr/day of Disney produced programming has to be at least as brain damaging as curated internet rando content.
LOL. No it isn't.

I camp in the Appalachians regularly, from DC. There a quite a few spots I can't get to without a 3 hour charging detour (2 hours charge time, 1 hour road detour to get to EV station) on the return leg. And that's for areas that are only 3-4 hours away (one direction). [this was using ABRP and a mid-range Riviant R1T]
This is, I think, essential to any equity market. Some domains are so boring that only inside information rivals judgement. Cardboard boxes. Some other domains are so bubbly that feeling the zeitgeist of the crowd might outperform judgement. Tulips.
Beyond Penetration Testing: 4 Ways to Implement Continuous SaaS Security Testing

I was a CISO for a Credit Union, and retired early. Couldn't be happier now, I would never go back to infosec. The stress and anxiety was terrible. Infosec is a target for management if there is a breach, fortunately for me I never had an incident, though. After 3 years my mental state is so much better, I highly recommend retiring/switching carreers if your unhappy in your job.
Got to be honest, I only clicked on the link because 'quitted' bothered me, but the Take-Aways are interesting.
I'm probably oversummarizing, but this seems to boil down to burnout caused by (from the post):

> But why don’t they just patch? It’s not that complicated after all.

And you kinda see this later on when the author talks about what they worked on post-transition out of infosec as a mainline career:

> I finally joined Michelin in December 2016 where I started working in the CERT team where my main mission was to automate scanning and reconnaissance phases [emphasis added] on internet-facing assets and this was my real first experience on the other side of the story - defending infrastructure and where I finally experienced change management (and the complexity behind it), impact evaluation and so on.

It seems like the author burned out not because of the work but because wherever he ended up, there was no strategic initiative to streamline and automate patching to a point where it's largely invisible. It's also a hard problem given the risks of patching bringing reliant services down and the need to automate a slew of testing to validate that said patches won't torpedo production and mission critical systems.

The bit above is important not just because it solves a problem but because (I'm convinced that) people like knowing they actually built something and enacted lasting change. And security may be one of the least likely engineering disciplines where you'll experience building a tangible product as an IC.

At least in software security it's a bit easier with build and deployment pipelines offering an opportunity to block when patches are outstanding, but I can see where the burnout would arise when a strategic effort to invisibly ensure patching isn't in place or well funded. No one gets to build anything, and likewise, nothing gets solved because nothing was built.

---

So if I could add another takeaway:

• if your job involves running around and putting out fires, consider recommending up the chain and across the aisle all the ways to prevent the fires. And if those recommendations don't catch fire (so to speak), may be worth exploring alternative means to address the burnout risk long term with the current role.

Yes, he is a good example. His games are as highly regarded as they are because he takes the time to really work through everything about them and ensure they're the product he wants.

Fundamentally the anchoring problem requires you specify 1. the target you want to anchor to, and 2. where in relation to the target you want your content to appear (above, below, justified to a particular edge, etc…). “anchor: below ——my—target;” seems about as simple as you can get.

I ride all kinds of bikes, MTB, gravel, road, bikepack/touring. A bonafide cycling enthusiast. I use an e-bike to commute, because my main aim is to get to work, and that I can do that by bike is rad.

People should see e-bikes as a replacement for a car commute, not as a replacement for cycling. I still do plenty of that, but I also have get the groceries and get to work.

I’ve wanted to get into NVidia for a while as I’ve seen crypto, ai, big data being waves of interest. It’s very hard to judge an entry point though and the stock has been quite volatile.
There’s also a difference in areas seen in how pedestrians walk - some cities you will NEVER see a pedestrian enter the road except at a marked crosswalk, others they just walk across at any place.

And it’s not 100% clear which is overall safer - the latter can result in drivers always looking but a moment inattentiveness can result in disaster. (The main advantage of slower speeds is the driver can react in time; a pedestrian hit even at 10 mph is not going to do well.)
I have the same problem
If we flip the question around it seems more reasonable: would your IQ test score be accurate if you did not train beforehand on practice IQ tests?

I would presume not - most tests are timed, and if you are spending time on first-time only tasks in understanding the problem then the result is inaccurate. If you train out those first-time tasks so that you are repeatably using the time budget in the test to solve problems then you should reach some kind of steady state and produce repeatable and more accurate test scores.

My take is that the repeatable scores measuring your steady state in the task would be more accurate than the untrained scores with an unknown amount of initialization time within each problem. I would make a similar claim to naasking below that this could account for some of the Flynn effect.
They found a steel chisel and also tried to work the rock with softer chisels, and couldn't.

"Analysis of an iron chisel found in Rocha do Vigio showed that Iberian stonemasons from the Final Bronze Age had the necessary tools. The researchers discovered that it consisted of heterogeneous yet astonishingly carbon-rich steel. To confirm their findings, the researchers also carried out an experiment involving a professional stonemason, a blacksmith and a bronze caster, and attempted to work the rock that the pillars were made of using chisels of different materials. The stonemason could not work the stone with either the stone or the bronze chisels, or even using an iron chisel with an untempered point."
Maybe that’s true but the sense I got from the linked articles was just that they are cheap bikes sold at supermarkets. In that context, they are advocating that you should spend 250£ on a bike, with parent suggesting that these 70£ bikes be banned.

Why should we ban shitty bikes that poor people can afford? Why should we ban “fake mountain bikes”? Certainly if they are actually dangerous, but there’s existing consumer law to handle that case.

(Also, I laughed when the authors wondered “if it’s such a rare flaw why do we see it all the time?” Like you’re a bike repair shop, pal. Of course you see the ones that are busted. That doesn’t tell you much about the rate of failure.)
> The main warning I might just give to people is to keep proper distances between work and personal life

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. As a millennial, I've tied so much my self-worth into my career and recently, started questioning this belief and I think the next generation (i.e. Gen Z) might be on to something around quiet quitting, their generation placing extra emphasis on pursuing things that make them happy and viewing work as .... well, work.
I worked construction in high school and college in the US. This is not how it generally works. If you are a high school kid, your summer construction gig is usually slave labor, meaning carrying ton of stuff up and down, cleaning stuff as you go and be a general gopher. You don't do anything remotely close to the construction of the house. The only exception is being a roofer, which you just tar stuff with other crew members.
Carbon and aluminum bike frames die from fatigue, eventually. And since they're weaker materials (carbon is very strong in some ways, very weak in others) they're more liable to actually crack or bend irreversibly in a crash.

Steel and titanium, to my knowledge, will never break from fatigue alone. You essentially need to hit them with a car or a hammer to break em. And you can always keep those frames going indefinitely with welded fixes, as long as you know a decent welder. Rust is what gets steel in the long term, if you don't keep your bike clean, especially if your town salts roads in the winter. But it's otherwise very robust.

In the USA it seems like a lot of people just like new bikes, and neglect their old bikes. Some get stolen. Enthusiasts get upgradeitis. But compared to the carbon footprint of smartphones, cars, asphalt roads, factory farming, and a million other things, I'm not convinced it's a major issue.

You don't have to venture far from the major East Coast cities to get to "nowhere." For example, there are plenty of remote areas in WV (Canaan Valley, Dolly Sods, etc).

If you go camping in those areas, you have to make a 3 hour charging detour on the return leg. There are no public chargers in the nearest towns or on the main road into the area.

If you rent a cabin, you can probably run a charger out the window. Rent a condo at the ski lodge? Not sure, they didn't have chargers a few years ago, but might toady.

Well, as a recent example, PyTorch 2.0 installed with PyPi (not the version from the Arch repo) had a hardcoded path to some specific CUDA library that I had to find in the PyTorch source to work around.
Those packages are only in Debian testing, and I think RDNA2 GPUs are the only consumer-level GPUs with reasonably good support in ROCm (and then probably only some of them). AMD also dragged their feet for a long time on supporting RDNA after it launched, and actually managed to break support for the only consumer GPUs that worked reasonably well with ROCm before that (the RX570 and similar) quite a while before they added support for RDNA.
