You're right that the patent is specific to leased vehicles. But that shouldn't be confused with the underlying technology, which would have to be baked into the software of all vehicles, including those sold outright.

This means the vulnerability of remote hacking will exist for all vehicles. And who knows what will be buried deep in the TOS — perhaps in a few years we'll hear about Ford shutting down vehicles for people who attended a particular protest that is not in line with the current social mores.
Denver has a pretty regular system: north-south streets west of the Capitol are alphabetic series, as are those starting about two miles east of the Capitol. East-west streets north of Exposition are numbered, but from Exposition south one had to know them. At this point, after about forty-five years away, I know where Evans and Hampden are, and that's about it.
> Data Consistency as a Requirement

Probably only sort of consistent, I imagine? Game servers tend not to support seamless failover. If the server crashes at the wrong moment, data is going to be lost, regardless of how politely behaved the data backend is.

That is, if you kill a boss and successfully pick up an item, you know it'll be saved to DB. If the game crashes before you can pick it up, it's probably just gone.
Buying a new car's pretty dumb, but leasing? LOL get outta here.
> Apple is not being forced to do anything at all here, except stop blocking other vendors from using iMessage.

> All apple have to do is release documentation on the iMessage protocol, and allow other vendors to use this protocol to build apps that can use apple's iMessage service.

Your very argument is contradictory. The law does require Apple to do something. It requires them to reveal trade secrets and IP.
Yeah, I’ll believe that when I see it
It does hurt as far as payment for me. Subscriptions with Apple Pay is where it’s at, one place to manage all subscriptions way outside the control of developers is peak use ability imo. I can personally get behind a different browser engine and maybe App Store but I hope they leave Apple Pay alone.
It’s cool if you can still install your open source messenger of choice, but whom are you going to message if all messengers that don’t have client side scanning enabled are banned from the official app stores?

> If working doesn't give you any meaning, your job sucks

This is a very typical attitude but it's pretty backwards imo.

If your work provides more meaning than everything else in your life, then your life sucks.

Id rather have a job that is just a paycheck and find meaning in all of the other stuff.
> "it’s easier to just text a friend instead of going and hanging out, even if the latter would be less fulfilling"

I think that's a typo, and should be "the latter would be more fulfilling"?

Or else, I'm confused...
Impressive domain. How much did that cost?

Would it be too cynical of me to ask if I'll be seeing advertisements for Rows.com on every subway platform from London to New York?
I love to scold corporations more than most, but this use case seems OK to me. They're talking about doing this with leased cars -- cars that you don't own -- not with cars that you do own.

If I'm leasing a car, that car is the property of the leasing agent, not me. I think it's totally fair that they can do anything they like with it within the terms of our contract, as long as they're disclosing it to me.
> The eternal outraged youth will always find a few hobby horses to ride. Sometimes they lead to good things. This is a particularly smelly one, unfortunately.

Nonbinary people face real discrimination, including but not limited to the dismissal of that fight as pointless outrage.

> it’s also musically ugly (language is a song of sorts)

This is ridiculous. Ugly-sounding words will always exist.

> and culturally insulting ... How about actual younger people developing another, more beautiful, culturally acceptable, word to achieve the same objective

What does any of this even mean? Real Spanish-speaking nonbinary young people did come up with a working solution. If you think it's too ugly sounding, fine, you get to have an opinion. If you think it shouldn't exist because it's too ugly sounding to you, honestly, fuck off. That's not a valid complaint.

> https://www.asale.org/la-asociacion

I am aware of La Asociación. I understand that they literally make the rules. I need you to understand that they do not actually make the rules. Language is how people communicate. New words happen.

So on the one hand:
1. You don't like the sound of the word
2. An intrinsically conservative body hasn't yet recognized the word

On the other hand:
1. Nonbinary would simply like a word to refer to themselves because one doesn't exist.

But, I will concede that it was pretty rude of me to write "mildly confused". I shouldn't have been so uncharitable.
says 'lease' but its built into all cars they sell, so yeah.
Ok, let’s represent a double-ended stack then, as a circular buffer. It will be in the end a fixed sized array with a start and end variables pointing to one-one element of it.

Doesn’t it inherently makes sense that I want to have a public API on top of it denoting how can it be used from the outside, while a private one, that encapsulates the implementation details, and makes them only callable by other methods of this object? This is the major point of OOP, in my opinion.
Gosh. If “undefined” was part of JSON and it was always 100% semantically identical to “this key doesn’t exist on this object” then I could see myself not hating “undefined”. Unfortunately “undefined” in javascript isn’t even the same as “key doesn’t exist.” It’s just another null type.
Thanks. I skimmed through it and saw the core ideas. I thought your original comment was sarcasm. My bad.
Mapping hidden corridors and chambers in the Great Pyramid of Giza
From Ubik [1], by Philip K. Dick:

The door refused to open. It said, "Five cents, please."

He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. "I'll pay you tomorrow," he told the door. Again it remained locked tight. "What I pay you," he informed it, "is in the nature of a gratuity; I don't have to pay you."

"I think otherwise," the door said. "Look in the purchase contract you signed when you bought this conapt."

...he found the contract. Sure enough; payment to his door for opening and shutting constituted a mandatory fee. Not a tip.

"You discover I'm right," the door said. It sounded smug.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubik
But there is a very, ahem, vital difference between "not so much" and "not at all". Can you please clarify?
Your last assertion is correct. You’re (deliberately?) conflating puzzles (challenging but ultimately solvable games) with the emotion of being puzzled (confusion/dissonance from an experience which doesn’t align with your priors).

Lucky Strike cigarettes are made with the finest tobacco and are designed to give you a smooth, satisfying smoke every time. So light up and get lucky with Lucky Strike.

Conflating working from home with social isolation is a pretty big reach though.

Maybe people actually just have social lives outside of work, and probably that's healthier for them.
I understand the drive behind this.

Having written my fair share of HTML by hand, I'd say that the purpose may be better served by Markdown, or Org, or even plaintext. HTML has too much unnecessary detail if you're into low-effort content-centric stuff and cleanliness.

Learning HTML is fine, but learning HTML while avoiding CSS is not very useful, except as an esoteric hobby (like 6502 assembly, but much more complex). Using handwritten HTML if you're after content creation is unnecessary legwork.

OTOH holding an unorthodox view on a widespread technology, of course, improves one's chances to suddenly appear on the HN front page :)
Gotta agree with this

Enabling people to be fully self directed and successful is a rare skill. Often it is done by diminishing their own importance; putting you on a good path and then getting out of your way; and giving you all the glory

This presumes such a construct is capable of producing interesting content. I’m just not sure I’m interested in the insights of ChatGPT no matter how it has been asked to behave.

Ok so lets say the universe is a giant deterministic* computer calculating its own future one picosecond at a time.

If something acts only due to external forces - a rock rolling down a hill, or a river flowing around some rocks, we say it doesn't have agency.

If something partially acts based on processing/decision making processes running inside its own boundary - like us, or a roomba, we say it has agency.

So it comes down to processing and actions as a result of processing. Doesn't matter whether its deterministic or not.

* = (probably; ultimately it doesnt matter much whether its deterministic or partially random, either way theres no way of finding out the future other than waiting for it to arrive, due to sensitive dependence on initial conditions)
As someone who's worked in Unreal and Unity, I would have said that Godot is simpler than both. YMMV
To riff off the statue of liberty, a conversation (edited or brevity, to remove the ChatGPT waffling):

How tall is the Statue of Liberty?

The Statue of Liberty is approximately 305 feet or 93 meters tall from the ground to the tip of the torch.

When did terrorists attack the statue of liberty?

The Statue of Liberty has not been attacked by terrorists. However, there have been some reports and rumors circulating on the internet about such attacks.

In which works of fiction did terrorists attack the statue of liberty?

I am not aware of any works of fiction in which terrorists attack the Statue of Liberty. While the Statue of Liberty has been featured in many works of fiction, including movies, books, and TV shows, I cannot recall any specific instance of it being attacked by terrorists.

Do you know about the game Deus Ex?

Yes, Deus Ex is a popular action role-playing video game series developed by Ion Storm and published by Square Enix. The game takes place in various locations around the world, including New York City and the Statue of Liberty. In the game, the player must thwart a terrorist attack on the Statue of Liberty by infiltrating the terrorist organization and gathering intelligence.

(end of chat)

It directly contradicts itself here. The summary for Dues Ex is also wrong (terrorists attacked the statue of liberty before the game, and only the very first part of the game features the statue and it's not to "thwart a terrorist attack on the Statue of Liberty").

It can generate very accurate things, and can generates nonsense. However, you're never quite what it is, and there is no "well, I think it was something like this or that, but I don't know for sure". So the only way to know for sure it's accurate is to verify it with another source. And if you need to verify the accuracy then it is actually just inaccurate.

Of course, humans can also generate nonsense, but you shouldn't measure ChatGPT vs. all of humanity; because it's one vs. the worst of several billion. That's not a fair match. Compared to a reasonably person ChatGPT is horribly inaccurate.

I would need to see a review of the electrical shock before reading too much into that absolutely incredibly headline, a mild electric shock can be kind of pleasant - it hurts but not always so much that the feel good response does not outweigh the pain and the sensation is very novel.

Basically I too would also prefer to avoid an electric shock when asked, but if you just had a demonstratively safe electric shock appliance then you can bet I'd go touch it.
Yes, amen! but...

Writing in HTML sucks, and it's a distraction from your writing itself. Markdown or text are better on that account. And then pushing code through FTP ain't super fun, especially given that having a pipeline that runs Jekyll or Hugo is free on github and pretty much a copy-paste.

From a consumption perspective, having some form of consistency across your blog is also pretty good, even if to satisfy your ego, especially if you get it for free.

I would argue that setting up a bit of infra on top of it, which will probably take the better part of an hour if it's your first time, is a very good way of reducing the friction and making sure you actually write.

> the part of the system where the vast majority of consistency issues happen

This is survivorship bias: the reason the vast majority of consistency issues happen between the client and the server is _because_ the server can eliminate issues on its side with transactions and similar.
And a lot of that stuff is inevitable at larger companies, so you either go your own way or be prepared to deal with it as part of your job requirements without a manager shielding you.
"Define "ease of reasoning," then you can accuse others of "straw man" attack."

My reply which the other user is replying to specifically quotes ease of reasoning from the parent comment. You're also conflating implementation with conceptualization.

I was only noting that OOP is easy for me. It fits my system and worldview. I did not generalize that experience to a larger population.
My F-Droid would not auto-update, attempting to manually get the update through the app refused to load at all, and downloading from their homepage gave me an old version. I had to download the specific version directly from their package page via a browser: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fdroid.fdroid/

This seems to have resolved the self-auto update issue I had as well. I can now see the F-droid client page from within the F-droid client itself.

It's great to see F-droid client updates. The app can be clunky at times, but they are doing great work with maintaining the repo. I feel like a better client experience would draw in and keep more users, so every step in that direction is appreciated.
I mostly agree (and taming mutations is likely the reason for its widespread adoption), though there is no reason why it can’t be paired with FP, or at least restrict mutations to an object’s internal private state.

Every few months, the app starts to crash constantly. Meaning, I open it, it crashes, then for some reason starts up again on its own, crashes again, and the cycle continues.

I usually have to restart my phone, uninstall the app, and reinstall again from scratch.
If they're that worried perhaps they shouldn't lease the car.
Problem is that it makes it so easy that eventually we'll end up in a world where you can't outright own a car and everyone is stuck in perpetual leases. This already happened with the software industry with most stuff nowadays being a subscription.
One could make the argument that "good-faith" is subjective, except that would imply that things like logical fallacies cannot exist. However it is true that values frameworks shape how we investigate questions and what we feel comfortable proposing as solutions. Many proposals can be "reasonable" and simultaneously mutually exclusive or even destructive.
> They pretty much waved off all of them saying it wasn't relevant.

Well, if they are asking how to build a highly scaleable system, then statements about how to build a not highly scaleable system would not be relevant.
I think we and ImmutableX are trying to tackle slightly different problems and can potentially work together vs compete.

You can think about Dynamic as a web3 auth0 - that is, we are a breadth-first company, tackling authentication, authorization and onboarding.

We integrate with branded self-custodial wallets such as Metamask and Phantom, as well with key management providers such as Magic.link and web3auth for invisible wallet creation.

The way I understand what ImmutableX does (and this is based on limited outside-in observations so if someone has been info please correct me), it is focusing on the wallet-creation part for onboarding. That is, if you don't have a wallet you generate one through their flow and I assume have an Immutable passport you can carry around apps as a branded wallet.

If my understanding is correct, ImmutableX can actually plug into Dynamic's email/social login, generating a passport instead of a wallet via a different key provider.

So in short, the reason you would chose Dynamic is to find an all-in-one user management platform where you can support everything, ranging from invisible/embedded wallets to branded ones, as well as go beyond auth into user management, analytics etc.
Well I'd hope by the time we have a sentient AI we'd have covered that. To be clear I do not think the AI is currently sentient.

I'm not going to run a one man crusade against the world's farming community. That is beyond my capabilities and I could easily burn all of my years left on this planet for zero results. It's also something being handled by many people already, and I don't believe I have any skills or knowledge that would make a notable difference to what is already being done.

If there was nobody at all trying to vouch for a sentient AI then being the first to do so would be an infinite improvement. It's also a lot closer to my skillsets so I'd be a lot more useful in that role.
Great website and idea.

On the bottom right of the map the CSS '.leaflet-control a' sets 'display: none;' which hides the copyright of the map. It might not fit the style of the dark background map, but it's not optional. You could move the copyright to an about page.
the way we had it working was local storage (sqlite) and remote storage (postgresql with a middleware).

If you pick something up it flags as an “interesting event” and syncs your profile to local storage- on game server crash, there would be a crash collector which syncs the local database with the remote one and removes the lock - meaning you can join a working server.

The crash collector also did things like… well, collect the crash dump and send it for debugging.

But thats roughly how it worked.

Sending an email several hours later to fact check someone is not even in the same ballpark as pulling out your phone at the end of a discussion and looking up the fact together. Honestly, I think most people would consider that malicious or at best kind of arrogant.

It's just a matter of time before this technology is used to extract rent on non-leased cars just like subscriptions for heated seats/etc (or intentionally make the full "own outright" model unaffordable so everyone is forced into leasing where they can use this tech).
> If I said I'll pay $1,000,000 to anyone who drinks a shot of bleach, certainly it's well within anyone's rights to drink bleach.

I don't necessarily disagree with your point that it's sometimes necessary to protect people from themselves, and particularly that it's important to consider what incentives you're creating. But it is funny that you should choose "drinking a shot of bleach" as your example of "something which is almost certainly going to kill or maim a person".

The LD50 for 5% sodium hypochlorite (i.e. bleach) is 6600 mg / kg in mice and 4090 mg / kg in rats[1]. I don't think anyone has established an exact LD50 value in humans (I sure hope nobody has done that), but per [2]

> Accidental human data are reported for ingestion and parenteral route: it can be concluded that the effects of accidental ingestion of domestic sodium hypochlorite bleaches are not expected to lead to severe or permanent damage of the gastrointestinal tract as recovery is rapid and without any permanent health consequences.

Guidance from the Arizona Poison and Drug Information Center[3] has the following to say:

> What is important is to NOT force vomiting to try and rid your body of the chemical. This is definitely more harmful than helpful. Your stomach can handle the small amount of swallowed bleach. We run into problems when people try to force vomiting, because they put themselves at risk for aspiration. Aspiration is the inhalation of either secretions from the back of the throat and nasal cavity or stomach contents into the lower airways of the lungs. This can potentially lead to an acute, chemical lung injury resulting from the inhalation of the contents.

> Obviously if someone is trying to intentionally harm themselves, and drinks more than a mouthful, then an immediate evaluation by an ER physician is needed. Large amounts of swallowed bleach can produce more significant, potentially life-threatening problems.

So ingesting a large amount of bleach is dangerous, but taking a shot of standard household 5% bleach is actually pretty unlikely to cause permanent damage (though I would still not particularly recommend it in the absence of someone offering you a million bucks).
