Don't know how recently you've been in the market, but the days when you could do that in automotive are long gone. Now you call a supplier and they're like "I might have something in a year, maybe" or "I have a few dozen, take it or leave it". The sketchy chinese vendors and the expensive specialty vendors are the only ones with any volume left in common parts, but obviously the former lack any sort of plausible automotive qualifications and paying the latter needs higher approvals than engineers can give.
Hm? Every ISP is able to block websites. This happens constantly, specially with piracy-related websites.
I'd like to think they write the agency a pleasant letter each time. "Well hey, awkward, but we caught you again. Next time make sure not to name your files after US baseball teams :)"

And the agency in turn sends them a cake.
Actually, the effect may be the opposite. As risk taking is normalized, men, and especially those who do get access to women, tend to become more violent. This also affects the women and children.

Just look at the violent crime statistics of any area where the marriage rate is less than 40% and compare it to any area where the marriage rate is >80%.
I think there are maybe also a fair bit of car manufacturers that are simply rushing old converted ICE models with a battery to market that also really suck at doing anything with software (like VW). It's easier for them to do what they have been doing for decades than do something new. It's not so much that they don't like touch screens but that they lack the ability to develop good software for them. Particularly most manufacturers mentioned in the article.

As for dangerous trends and Tesla, they do have excellent safety related metrics. There's very little evidence of their cars being more dangerous. The opposite actually.
No no I'm not referring to free for the consumer. Actually an email address was also a pain in the butt to obtain in the beginning, a small number of organizations ran email servers and you had to be attending the correct university or know the right guy or something.

What I'm referring to is free on the supply side. There is now free and widely available server software which not only will let you host a social network, but will also connect you to an existing social graph via ActivityPub. Prior to this, how were you going to compete with Twitter? You needed to build your own client and your own social graph and that was a huge barrier to entry. The tools which exist for a new competitor today (e.g. Mastodon and still a fairly small fediverse) are far from perfect, but they are improving and you can extend them however you like. That looks a lot like an environment where someone disruptive could appear, add value is missing, figure out a way to monetize and so on.
Their products are not good. Bell has had real fibre to the home for a lot longer than Rogers for example. Their tv service is a joke while Bell even offers crave to non bell customers for a reasonable price over the internet.

The there is the nationwide outage that even got the federal government involved. Super ironic as high quality service was part of their justification for extremely high prices. Turns out they didn’t have basic redundancy down. I’ve never seen that kind of failure in any other company that size.
I am betting on Vlang instead. Rust is too complicated for an average person - like me. It's basically the Haskell of system programming. V is basically Go made right.
Not sure about GP - but in my country they teach the 9 and 3 position when you take your license. I’ve always thought 10 and 2 was an American thing.
First of all, an SoC comparable to an iPad isn't $1000 more expensive than what they're using.

More so, the current hardware they use is quite faster than the original 2010 iPad, yet the og iPad is dramatically more responsive than all these laggy cars.
Filter and aggregate CSV data with leopards and it is much faster than pandas
Agreed.

About 1, big companies need regular standard hiring sessions also for anti discrimination, and simplifying comparisons of larger numbers of candidates. Bureaucracy can come about from involving big numbers of people.
Performance matters, but I’m not sure people are saying that it doesn’t. I’m not a performance “first” type of programmer by any means, but I always keep it in the back of my mind, what I also tend to keep in the back of my mind is cost.

I recently “inherited” a couple of back-end services when a developer left our company. It turned out that the code was terrible and that they haven’t used, any, or our helper tools. Since we use Typescript everywhere ignoring our quite opinionated and a little fascist linter rules is almost impossible, but the developer in question had the authority to turn it off, which they did and in doing so shot themselves completely in the foot. The back-end services were developed in JavaScript more than Typescript and since both our linters and usual teat pipelines were disabled, and since it’s software that has been developed over almost a years worth of changes, it was just horrible. We’re talking loops comparing values, that were probably there once but are now just sorting things as undefined === undefined kinds of terrible.

The performance was also atrocious. Basically what the service did was gather info on a couple of thousand projects and link them with tens of thousands documents in Sharepoint, but because it was build wrong, it wasn’t pulling the correct documents and it was taking 5-10 minutes each run time. It’s now running at around 10 seconds for its complete run time. Which is a massive performance improvement, and it’ll be even better once I finish building the cashing. So you might think I’m inclined to agree with the article, but I didn’t rewrite it because of its poor performance, I rewrote it because it didn’t work correctly and the performance gains were simply a happy “coincidence”.

This is because the performance didn’t really matter. Yes, it was costing us at most $77 a over our 3 year Azure contract, but the time I spent rebuilding it cost the company almost exactly $1500. Those $1500 were well spent because it wasn’t working, but would they have been well spent in terms of performance? Not really. That being said, it wouldn’t take a lot of those services to become expensive, so it’s not like the author is really wrong either. It’s just that I’m confused with whom he is arguing.
> Is the closed society Chinese society under the CCP, or American society under the DCMA?

It's the one building large scale concentration camps in an effort to wipe out a minority part of their society.
I went to a birthday party once for a guy who just got on 30 under 30. The facebook event (made by him) was called "Mr. 30 under 30's Birthday". The whole event was presented with deliberate irony, as if to say "Wouldn't it be funny if I was such a narcissist that I couldn't stop telling people I'm on the Forbes 30 under 30?" And he was right.
Confused by this whole interaction. The idea is to use AI + automated data collection to detect and surface patterns and correlations of behavior in order to improve quality of life.

Did you think this was somehow directed at you, personally?
To be fair, performance is usually part of the “does it work in real life” question, it’s just that doing sensible things is probably good enough.

The crud app at your startup probably doesn’t need to worry about cutting optimizing every last millisecond off of page load or scaling across some k8s cluster or whatever. But I’ve stopped using (or never seriously tried) otherwise good services because of flow-stopping performance problems i.e. multi-second page loads, stuttering pages, battery drain, etc.
No amount of UX genius can make a touchscreen visible when the sun is glaring on it.

For the Teslas records, it might be because they're exclusively used for short urban trips.
I don't understand why voltaireodactyl's comment was downvoted because he or she is pretty much on the right track with respect to the current legal regimes. Those still promoting Barlow's ideas in 2023 are living in a fantasy world.
Probably because people will steal the heat pumps.

There are apartment buildings going up in NYC with one-pipe steam heat, steel pipes, and cast-iron radiators, because there is nothing outside the boiler room worth stealing.[1]

Depending on how much it cost to deliver that content, assuming netflix is running near 24/7, it may still be a win.

If your threat model includes a compromise of Google (or your Google account), sure. You should also probably use a hardware TOTP device in that case. For most people, this is a sufficient level of security. It’s always a trade off between convenience and safety.
What's wrong with TypeScript? Last time I checked all WASM stuff was slower and much heavier than TS/JS.
I don't think that's quite the point. It's not that you want dozens of different widgets in every app. It's that when picking an ecosystem for apps, a business will want to know that whatever they need (whatever small sample from that multitude), it's available. A large pool of resources is particularly important when you don't know exactly what you'll need up front, which is most of the time.

You might only want 8 colours, but if you don't know exactly which 8, you'd better have a large palette available.
I wasn’t comparing ML to digital computers though — but rather chemistry. Theory of computation and algorithms (bedrocks of CS) far predate digital computers.
Why does it not need verification? 3rd parties can a) replace the real content with lies, or more likely, b) inject it with 3rd-party ads. (this is not theoretical! *) c) inject crypto-mining/other malicious javascript into it. Outside of that though, d) Other people can see what you're looking at. Even if you don't take privacy seriously, you can at least understand that some people do, and would like their viewing habits to remain private.

Every few months I see new mind blowing NeRF results, but I wonder if there is a usable project that I could try it myself. Be it open source project, or commercial product.

Also I'm not quite sure what time scales are we talking about, with turning bunch of images to nerf model, and then using that model to generate novel views.. hours on powerful gpu? minutes on cpu?
Maybe they made similar revenues but massively increased costs. Amazon was famous for this sort of thing.
Amazon is a bit harder to judge given the subscription is for more than just movies and tvs
Last software update allows to map many functions to long-press of steering wheel button. So you can assign AC temperature to it, then you don't need to take your eyes of the road - just long-press left button and scroll up/down.
Other autos all route physical buttons through the car's OS now. Nothing is actually directly wired to the corresponding actuators anymore. The buttons are mechanical but are basically equivalent to a touchscreen in terms of control.
Trying to copy/paste in safari also crashes the demo.
If you want to get pedantic then VR only simulates 3D as well since it is just two 2D images used to give the illusion of depth via stereoscopy (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopy).

However in terms of gaming, 3D has different meaning from the physical world. And in terms of gaming, the vector games defined before are classed as 3D
> Instead of asking whether or not XYZ is a dictatorship, ask "are they following their own laws and constitution?"

They are not. Censorship is unconstitutional in Brazil, especially that of a political nature. Yet I don't think it's been a month since I last saw news of some politician being banned from holding office because they posted "fake news" online or something.

Basically the strategy now is to criminalize "fake news", accuse your opponents of spreading it and deplatform them because criminals can't hold political office. Show me the man, I'll show you the crime.
I believe a government grant paid for the system. The article neglected to mention that. It’s conceivable that there may be other things that went unmentioned in the article.
My account, with everybody using the same profile, working different schedules, and watching different shows, I wonder what my profile looks like? 0-100 male or female is about as close as they could get.
One more datapoint here. Good performance helps avoiding scaling problems. One example is an API I recently wrote. I was initially in Python and performance was OK I guess. I had to take care of horizontal scaling, how to manage the infrastructure, a bit of distributed scaling and all the other goodies that come along. By rewriting it in Rust and caring about performance I was able to run it on a single machine (which is ok for that product). That saved me quite some hustle. And my average response time went from 300ms to 29ms.

If the app would scale a lot I would still need to go into all that trouble but at this early stage the benefits of really simple infrastructure is immense.
In my testing, I went through a bunch of Rust frameworks that sit on top of the core OS UI frameworks. My experience with all of those was that they all capped out at about 3k rectangles on a screen at a time at 30 fps (vs the about 80k rectangles that fit at usually 30-60 fps in my demo).

I wonder if your experience is different?

As best I've been able to tell, right now you have to make a choice between (a) fast and (b) native, and you only get to choose one. And in my application domain, fast is nonnegotiable.
I remember looking into V last year, it seems most of the discussion surrounding it was that it was vaporware.

Is that not the case? It certainly looks nice, but is it ready for use?
OCR engines may use a HMM (Hidden Markov Model) for OCR correction.
Ask HN: How do the OpenAI Insert/Edit functionalities work?
Over a year ago OpenAI released insert and edit endpoints for GPT (<https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30689902>). But I can't find any information anywhere about how these features actually work.

My best guess is that it's a fine-tuning of the base Instruct-GPT model combined with some search algorithm, but is there any information about what that search algorithm is? Has anyone reproduced the functionality with any other models?

For reference, this is the functionality I'm referring to: Insert <https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/completion/inserting-text> Edit <https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/completion/editing-text>
I doubt it. Since you don't hold copyright over any part of LLVM you have no standing to sue for copyright infringement, so people using your GPL-but-otherwise-unmodified LLVM can ignore the GPL.
The drop is primarily due to lack of demand and overproduction in memory chips. From the Financial Times:

Samsung Electronics reported a 95 per cent drop in first-quarter profits on Thursday, as tech demand remained sluggish in the face of inflation and higher interest rates.

The Korean semiconductor giant’s operating profit fell to Won640bn ($478.6mn) from Won14.12tn in the first three months of 2022, amid a sharp drop in global demand for memory chips. The results were consistent with estimates released earlier this month, when Samsung said it would make a “meaningful” cut in memory production to ease a glut.

On Thursday the company said it expected a “limited demand recovery” as major cloud service providers invest more conservatively and customers adjust their inventories.
Gordon Chang is a favorite straw man for Chinese nationalists. They basically just mention him as a summation of all western reporting on China.

My favorite is Andrew Left, who shouted the alarm on EverGrande in 2016 and then was fined for it in Hong along because he obviously didn’t understand the Chinese market.

> Now the Chinese are beating the USA in space and are about to invade Taiwan.

China isn’t beating the USA in space by even the most pro Chinese nationalist measurements.
Slower - not really now Rust client web frameworks have improved. Don't have refs handy, but Leptos, Dioxus etc are on a par with Solid.

Larger bundle sizes - yes that's still true.

And not all GUIs are web GUIs, so WASM isn't the whole story.
No, it sounds like a civil law country dealing with a recalcitrant business. I think the judge is reaching a bit but I don't know much about Brazil's legal code. Common law countries tend to be extremely accommodating of business entities because they're obsessed with procedure (imho) to the detriment of doing any enforcement. Civil law jurisdictions take the approach of 'we need compliance up front, we can quibble about legal liability afterwards.' Common law countries demand high levels of personal accountability but have elaborate mechanics for distributing accountability across organizations that (again imho) allow the creation of private quasi-sovereignty, and they maintain this in part because it attracts capital to those countries.
Found something interesting not mentioned in the article: apparently, police ransacked six innocent peoples' Google data, in the process of getting to the two guilty ones.

- "Google produced a list of eight anonymized accounts that had been at two or more of the six locations at the relevant time periods. Of the eight accounts, one had been at four of the geofence locations, one at three locations and the remaining six had been at two locations. Haas requested, and Google produced, identification information for all eight accounts. Two of those accounts (the ones that had been at three and four of the locations) ultimately led authorities to Meza and Meneses."

The court document doesn't elaborate on what happened to those six people (were they even informed of the search, after the fact?) Maybe they don't care. From the judicial perspective, there is no such thing as a constitutional privacy right. The Fourth Amendment, for example, protects more narrowly against search in the context of criminal prosecution: no prosecution, no rights violation.
Bolsonaro was called genocidal for doing everything wrong about the pandemic. He pushed for alternative medicine that doesn't work, he ignored vaccine offers from Pfizer (which delayed the start of vaccination in Brazil for months) and he replaced two healthcare ministers for doing their job. And let's not even get into the straightforward genocide of the indigenous people that occurred under his government: https://www.bbc.com/portuguese/articles/cw011x9rpldo

Keep the far-right conspiracy theories in the sewer where they belong.
It's sorely lacking Haskell features, I have sometimes written functions to simplify my code to find out the function signature is several lines of code and MUST use references

fn apply<A, B, C, G>(mut f: impl FnMut(B) -> G, a: A) -> impl FnMut(&B) -> C
// must still be `for<'r> impl FnMut(&'r B) -> C`, because that’s what filter requires
where
G: FnMut(A) -> C,
B: Copy, // for dereferencing
A: Clone,
{
move |b| f(*b)(a.clone()) // this must do any bridging necessary to satisfy the requirements
}

all this did so I could write in my code

...
.filter(apply(second, i))
...
That’s only one part of the problem (somewhat mitigated by solutions like Apple/Android auto), but the very fact that you are expected to touch a small area on the screen when you are on a somewhat bumpy road should have never left the engineering desk.
what is tfa?

> if I understand correctly, the LCSs were built to be easily retrofitted to add capabilities, as long as none of those capabilities are any we actually need

yes, but they were not intended to have strike capabilities, nor operate in deep sea as required to confront China in that region, that's why they called littoral.
Netflix doesn’t need to image capture because they know what content they are displaying. Swipes and taps count for little when the device is a set top box that matches every other set top boxes fingerprint.

Transmitting with the power required to reach a satellite would surely drain my iPhone battery quickly, right?
>Instead of forcing everyone to become vegan and to stop flying, how about supporting the industries that create artificial meat cheaper than the real thing and airplanes that run on electricity?

I was saying everybody turning vegan and stopping flying entirely wouldn't be enough.

Flying on electricity and lab grown meat still use a lot of energy compared to not having those.

You're actually making my point really well. Extreme measures aren't enough, so why not do less than that? Nobody wants to give up their quality of life. Especially not sufficiently to stop climate change.
Certainly some user preferences could damage some apps. But it mostly didn’t, it was generally good enough, and when it did it commonly pointed to a bug in the app anyway (e.g. setting text foreground colour when you don’t know what the background colour is—you must always set (or know the value of) either neither or both). And this flexibility was used by a variety of platforms.

Since you mention overlay scrollbars again, I’ll emphasise something I only alluded vaguely to in my initial wording: GTK does GNOME-style overlay scrollbars. The look and feel are both completely different from Windows 10 and 11 overlay scrollbars, and you certainly can’t accurately emulate the behaviour and I doubt you can emulate the look either. I’ll also mention something that apparently didn’t make it into my previous comment: macOS lets you turn overlay scrollbars on or off at the user level.

As for getting involved: they’ve been actively and deliberately gutting stuff useful for other platforms, and refusing to undelete things because of their vision of how things should be, seen most clearly in how they’ve handled overlay scrollbars and theming. I’m not interested in getting involved with a project like that; it seems to me fairly clearly a lost cause for anything I could do, if I was even willing to spend that kind of time on such a thing.
Honestly, at the rate this goes, I might get my .hack dream yet.
My understanding that WASM has a heavier load time, however actual benchmarks after the initial load are more impressive.
Are you saying that allowing farmers to repair their own equipment is pointless, or that allowing it will cause food prices to go up? Either way, you are saying that you either don't care about farmers or your only concern is whether things cost more for consumers.
Awesome project.. open source it! :)
