Edit: Should have said "x-bit wide memory" everywhere above.
I have autocrossed various cars competitively including a model 3 and a 911 GT3.

There is nothing "Bad" about the model 3 handling, but nothing good either. It is vastly under-tired for how heavy it is, but of course you can fix that with big wheels and tires. It also has no adjustable front camber, a necessity to set up a car to handle decently. Its just got a totally normal suspension, and is atypically heavy with atypically narrow tires.

Now does it set good times on certain tracks? Absolutely, because it has 500 horsepower from "idle" up to a pretty decent speed. On tight, short tracks it can power out of corners in an absurd manner.

But the "handling" is really kind of bad, which can be fixed in the same way you can fix any cars handling (aftermarket coilovers, a proper alignment, and big tires)
I think there's a (probably US) film that appears to be inspired by "Solaris" but is called something different. Can anyone tell me what it's called because I can't remember and it's annoying me?
Never "random nonsense," but always probablistic sequences which could be nonsensical or not, without it ever knowing which. The probablistic nature of the responses make "nonsense" unlikely, but since it lacks understanding or context, the response might end up being nonsensical anyway.
Slightly off topic, but wouldn't the correct wording for this be, "Why paid masterminds are mental masturbators" or, "Why paid masterminds are mentally masturbatory"?

It looks like the title uses the object as an adjective and it just doesn't sound right to me.
> Terser[0] has a special argument `--safari10` to emit code that's supported by Safari. I discovered this argument after running into the bug.

So the problem is with the tool, not with the Safari it seems. Without an explanation what "non-standard" is about Safari 10/11 it's on the same level as the rest of hand wringing on HN.

Ask HN: Is Eliezer Yudkowsky a genius playing the long game?
To those who are unaware, Yudkowsky recently published an article calling for the banning of any ML training and the use of force by the international community to forcibly stop anyone who disobeys, even saying WW3 would be preferable to more ML training.

At first glance Yudkowski's recommendations seem pretty hyperbolic. But now I'm wondering if this guy is actually taking the "long view" and will end up being remembered as one of the great thinkers.

The AI/ML revolution is just getting started, and it promises to upend much of human society. I'd say a backlash is inevitable, and will intensify as the tech gets more and more capable. Given that there WILL be a major backlash in the future (far more major than what we see today), I think Yudkowski may have positioned himself as the "grandfather" of a new, budding ideology defined by anti-technology and anti-AI views. Like Smith or Marx before him, Yudkowski makes provocative proclamations about a concept that seems like it will define our coming century. I wonder if what he's said so far is already enough to make him the "face" of an anti-AI movement that in my opinion will likely grow to rival even the most powerful ideologies of history.

EDIT: To clarify, basically what I'm trying to say here is that Yudkowski is being farsighted by being the first one to claim this "shut it all down" position. Many people are going to join this camp in the future and now it may well be known as "Yudkowskiism" or something like that.
The Mood Meter
That depends on exactly what kind of DBMS and underlying OS one is talking about. For DBMS that runs as one daemon or set of related daemons that has some kind of mechanism to share the afore mentioned buffer pool and synchronize acces to it then sure, it makes more sense, especially as you can do fine-grained copy on write in that bufferpool as an transaction isolation mechanism.

For embedded databases that operate on shared file somewhere just mmap()ing that file allows you to use part of the same file as shared memory segment and for POSIX IPC and thus synchronization between otherwise unrelated processes that access the same data. One big caveat of this approach is that it depends on optional parts of POSIX that are realistically usable on Linux and Solaris and maybe some obscure systems (you can probably do the same thing on Windows NT), notably this does not work on essentially anything BSD-derived.
Similar story here. Thought Macs were just overpriced crap, spent about 10 years as a DOS/Windows user than another 10 on Windows and Linux, before being issued a Macbook Pro at a new job.

By a few months in I was a convert. Having to use another OS for anything serious and involving a GUI makes me grumpy now. Everything before that looked like half-broken garbage, in hindsight. I had no idea how much time I'd been losing to glitchy software and bad hardware until about 90% of that was taken away. Felt like an idiot for not giving Macs a real chance much sooner.

I was also an Android user at the time, and that was a dual-platform mobile dev job—using both those operating systems extensively on a range of hardware converted me to iOS, too, in a hurry. Much smoother, better UI, and better battery life. Sold.
Now you are just doing last of us fever dreams.
It doesn't matter. Their UI will never be as good as Android Auto or Car Play. They will simply never have the same app support.
If ChatGPT is given an entire message (sub)thread as input, it will decide which parts, if any, it responds to. Sure, that's a bit different from how humans tend to read and reply to these threads.

If you mean feeding it the messages one at a time, then, sure, it will respond to each of them because that's what its default "goal function" is. (I assume that we're talking about a single "conversation" here so the context is retained – feeding it each comment out-of-context would be very unfair.)

If you prompt it to only reply to messages it considers "interesting" in some way, and return "I'll skip this" for the others, it would certainly do that.

Observatory of Geneva | Rust/Python Software Engineer | Geneva (Switzerland) | Hybrid Schedule | Full time

The Observatory of Geneva (World renown in the field of exoplanetology, where Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz detected the first exoplanet, which got them a Nobel Prize in physics in 2019), in collaboration with the CEA (a French public government-funded research organization), will be seeking one talented junior software engineer to develop a scientific code (ESPEM) which will predict the destiny of planetary systems.

The successful candidate will:

- Collect the requirements (e.g., the code must run in multiple operating systems, provide pluggable solvers) that will inform future decisions about the design and implementation of a new ESPEM;

- Evaluate the use of more modern programming languages and design patterns (such as Rust and Python 3);

- Design and implement a new version of ESPEM, reproducing the physics present in the current version of ESPEM but following the best coding practices;

- Design building blocks that will allow the implementation of new physics in a modular architecture;

- Write the corresponding documentation;

- Write unit tests to reach a coverage above 80% of the code;

- Identify optimizations that could help reduce the execution time, particularly certain functionalities that are more computing intense;

- Write visualization routines to easily explore the results.

Entry salary of 85,000 CHF with annual revisions + flexible schedule/environment + friendly working culture with nice work-life balance + international travels (e.g. CEA headquarters in the Paris region, conferences)

Your contribution will be open source and it will have a world-wide impact in the exoplanet community!

Neutron Star Merger Visualized
Ultrasonic sensors are super common in industry. Modules vary by FOV, distance, update rate, mounting, size, etc. We did a semi-formal comparison of the more popular mainland Chinese units last year.

They all have the problem where partial blocks to their FOV (eg. thin post or foliage) or non-perpendicular surfaces generate wildly fluctuating output. Other problem scenarios include dirtied sensor lenses, glass and liquids (feel like reversing through a fish tank?). While these issues are basically inherent to the physics, approaches like sensor arrays, post-processing or visual/inertial sensor fusion, inset mounting and washdown can help to resolve it.

The good thing is at the low end they are dirt cheap, in the order of $0.50 or less at volume, with typical nominal ranges of 45 or 60cm, though 4m may be readily achieved in practice. So for an array of three units with dedicated post-processing you may be talking an anticipated final production cost of around $2 per unit.

That said, your control plane is still going to need to remain seriously skeptical of output, as something as simple as mud can totally destroy your readings.

One may reasonably suspect that Tesla made a strategic decision to move away from ultrasonic owing to the reliability issues pervasive to the technology.
The thing is, they go from "works great" to "totally broken" with virtually no in between, and no ability of the owner to do anything about it.

Highlights from the Comments on Telemedicine Regulations
This is a tough one. Unless you are 5 minutes away from giving the double-finger salute (which it sounds like you are not), you're going to have to figure out what they actually need.

I hear this frequently when someone needs X to be done, but so far have received no advice other than, "only person A" can do that. The response is often some version of, "why not?" followed with, "I don't know, only person A has access to it"

The initial request usually comes from higher in the food chain. Usually the requester is used to dispatching responsibilies to (organizationally) nearby people and having their requirements carried out.

This doesn't mean that such people actually want (in this case) to actually remove all access control. They want thing X and they want to move on with their bits of the process feeling like thing X is handled and will be delivered forthwith.

Rather than start with the Why This Is a Bad Idea list, meet with them towards figuring out what X actually is and what needs to be changed to support bringing it about. If they push back, mention how data security affects public perception of your kind of NP. I mean, no one wants to give their PPI to an outfit that is known for ignoring the safe-keeping of their clients' data.

I have found that going into such a meeting with technical guns blazing can overwhelm the bandwidth of (often management) those you need information from.

Make it about X and the people that need X. What do they need to accomplish? What are their timelines? What has broken down such that this issue has arisen? Is person A available to assist?

If you do it right, the requestor will see a scenario where the initial advice was merely incomplete and that you were the person to see about it the entire time.

You might need to make a short-term adjustment for an instance of X to happen (that's all very well and good, but this was supposed to go put yesterday!) but the org managers might start seeing you as someone to engage ahead of someone up-top making uninformed decisions that could have unfortunate long-term consequences.
>> The main issue is that the EV charging stations all have bullshit social networks attached to them, and therefore do not reliably accept credit card payments.

This I totally agree with. Most EV charging stations are owned by middlemen running networks. The end game will be level 3 chargers at every highway rest stop and McDonalds, where they will simply take cash or credit card payment and charge while you eat and use the restroom.

Hi HN!

I'm a software developer by trade, Computer Scientist by education. I spent much of my early career at startups working through scaling issues, and hardening their product. Most of my work has been done in Go, and it is my language of choice.

After graduating, I'm looking for a career move into more challenging low-level software and tooling development jobs (kernels, distributed systems, compilers, etc.). I wrote my senior thesis on formally verifying LLVM's ARM backend, have built a few compilers/interpreters, implemented Raft, hacked on xv6, and hack on the Go compiler in my free time.

If you are willing to take a risk on a passionate learner with a few related projects under their belt and you have an LLVM based compiler, LLVM backend, distributed systems problem, OS kernel, or Go compiler project, I think I could get up to speed quick and be a valuable team member.

I question your assumption that in history “things don't happen in history because of (truly) random behaviors converging on some emergent effect.”

Firstly there is currently a debate among quantum physics as to the true randomness of what we observe[1][2]. Turns out we don’t actually need true randomness in our models, they just need to appear as if they are random, in other words, the chaotic nature of the system is more important than true randomness.

Secondly, society is an emergent effect of individuals behaving in a chaotic manner. So is zeitgeist. To study history without looking at societal changes over time, and without accounting for zeitgeist, is bound to yield a pretty limited insights.

I am aware that my analogy between quantum mechanics and the study of history is flawed. The latter is infinity more complex than the former, and deriving laws and creating models is a good fit to study the former but extremely difficult to study the latter. However my point is merely pointing to the fact that atomism (and holism for that matter) is an incomplete philosophy of science, that doesn’t even work in our most fundamental scope. One should be cautious when applying it to the study of history.

Or to put it in other words: While ρ(λ | ab) ≠ ρ(λ) is a real possibility in quantum physics likewise it is highly likely that the probability of individual acting in society is not independent from the probability of the same individual acting outside of the influence of that society. In your original point government may very well be like the ab in this famous conjecture. I would be careful when removing it’s influence.

Property Meld | Senior Software Engineer and Engineering Manager | Full-time | Remote (US & Canada) or office in Rapid City, SD

Looking for something more meaningful? How about the opportunity to have a direct impact on the property maintenance experience for hundreds of thousands of residents?

Welcome to the future of property maintenance. Property Meld’s vision is to radically improve how the property management industry handles property maintenance. If you’ve ever had a maintenance issue at your housing rental, you know how much of a pain it can be to get it fixed quickly and reliably. It doesn't have to be this way. We're rethinking the entire property maintenance experience from the ground up with two things in mind - first, driving the cost of doing maintenance to the absolute minimum, and second, providing an experience to residents and property owners that makes them want to stay with their property manager. If you are excited about turning something that has historically been a negative experience (maintenance) into a positive experience, we'd love to talk with you.

Actually.... when I worked there seven years ago, I wrote a point-by-point memo explaining why 48V was such a win (trying to move to 48V for falcon wing doors), even having the TI guys build for us some custom PCBs w/+12 to +48V converters that we could try for the powerful motors required.

However....the decision was made to stick with +12V because, mainly, the Industry pumped out accessories (door locks, fans, you name it) that run on +12, and hence +48 would be 'custom' (read: 'expensive'). Was also true of the actuators. The moby FETs needed to switch the current existed and heatsinking wasn't too much of a problem, and so.... +12V it was. Big-ass thick wires... ok....

It seems some others inside found my memo recently -- or re-discovered what I had found -- and, finally, +48V seems to be moving into vehicles. With a +48V LiFePo battery, it should work really well. And to the original comment here: yes, your copper wiring is smaller because E x I is same but I*2*R is less because I is less for given power. Note the squared term; that is why +48V is a win.

Somehow, it seems like some folks (I am by no means the first!) 'see the future' but for reasons I don't fully understand, The Future seems to take longer to get here than necessary.

someone else hints at this but one of the easiest Messiaen pieces to understand is his "Quartet for the end of time", written while he was a prisoner of the germans during WW2. The wikipedia article for the piece is actually pretty good "liner notes" if you want a guide to each movement.

One other thing about whatever you want to call the contemporary continuation of classical music - you're right that there's often a lot going on. I've heard it described as "fragile" music: in contrast to pop songs that still work if you're on a train, if they're interrupted by an announcement, if you only listen to the second half, etc., a lot of this music is written to be listened to by someone who is relatively calm and undistracted, in a quiet environment. And honestly some of it has additional expectations of its audience, like a better than average ability to remember melodic snippets and recognize their transformations, or an ability to track "advanced" harmonies and key changes. But imo the general rule "90% of everything is crap" applies in this genre as well, and most of the pieces that everyone will speak of in glowing terms have a way of 'working' for most listeners without demanding advanced education, study, or above average musical-listening abilities.
